Dr. Maria Patricia Restrepo began the journey toward founding MPR Institute when she was diagnosed with diabetes at 14. The diagnosis brought on bouts of obesity and depression, but Dr. Restrepo didn't give up—instead, she began to research. "What I understood when I started reading was that if I lost weight, my body [would] cope much better with [diabetes]," she says. But losing weight was just the beginning in her quest toward holistic health. She ended up studying medicine, and through her research she learned about the impact of certain foods on health.
Now, Dr. Restrepo and a team of doctors and therapists customize detoxification plans, facials, and ayurvedic healing services according to each patient's needs. "The solution for one person is not the solution for everybody," she says. Staff members take lab tests and hold in-depth consultations with their clients to determine appropriate detoxification or dieting programs. Common treatment targets include hormonal changes, liver detoxification, and colon cleansing.
Exhale Spa seeks to transform its clientele inside and out. The founding team of fitness professionals and aestheticians sought to create an environment where they could empower visitors with pampering spa treatments, invigorating fitness classes, and lifestyle education, helping clients attain a sense of control and holistic balance. Now with 19 locations across 11 cities, Exhale Spa and its signature services have earned mentions in numerous national publications, including People magazine, the New York Times, and O, The Oprah Magazine.
Exhale's signature Core Fusion classes incorporate dance-inspired stretches, yoga poses, and Pilates exercises into total-body workouts that build long, lean limbs and sturdy abdominal muscles over time. For an even more varied workout, the instructors introduce boot-camp techniques, cardio exercises, or multiplication tables to select sessions. Yoga classes present a similar amount of breadth and variety, drawing inspiration from a number of introspective and physically oriented styles. To help hasten physical transformations, nutrition and wellness coaches teach attendees about the impacts of diet. These sessions build an awareness of healthy eating habits through custom meal plans and by teaching clients how to identify the edible parts of a fruit basket.
Many of the center's traditional spa services seek to inspire confidence. Facials pamper and refine skin using everything from green tea and fruit extracts to microcurrent technology, and mani-pedis revitalize digits before glazing nails with a vibrant new coat of color. Bodywork treatments look beyond physical relaxation and focus on holistic concerns. Massage therapists can use Eastern or Western modalities to soothe overstressed musculature, and acupuncture treatments and reiki sessions jump-start natural healing processes by encouraging the free flow of inner energies.
Panama native Nina Garcia was a hairstyling prodigy. Her innate ability to cut hair manifested at age 14. "I [would] do it for my neighbors and my friends," she explains. "I love to do hair. It's where my passion [is]." Now in the United States, Nina has accumulated 17 years of professional experience, putting in time at two salons before opening her own, where she keeps the atmosphere light and comfortable. "I like to keep people happy," she says. "I offer wine to people in the afternoon. I'm a very sweet person, and I love to meet new people."
In one of three styling chairs, Nina or one of her talented stylists rehabs hair with a new face-framing cut, coloring services, or a deep-conditioning treatment using high-end products such as Italian Alfaparf. The versatile team can even take care of hands and feet. "I have a girl who does manicure and pedicures," she says. "She uses OPI polish." Through patrons often come in simply to update their haircut and style, Nina's most popular service is the Brazilian keratin treatment, a retexturizing treatment that delivers healthy, frizz-free hair to clients and vintage troll dolls.
Regardless of the service being provided, Nina always emphasizes the importance of listening to the client and tailoring every service to his or her personal style. "You have to roll in their direction. I think that's the best way—don't change what they think. It's that way in style and in life. If you want to change something, do it. That's it."
Aromas MedSpa is a full-service wellness enterprise with noninvasive treatments that heal ailments and enhance beauty. Specializing in skincare, cosmetic professionals aim Candela and Cynosure lasers at body hair, permanently reducing unwanted tufts or mutton chops. The specialists complement cosmetic procedures for the body and face with health services that eliminate unsightly warts and funguses or promote sustainable weight loss.
Aromas MedSpa's spa services incorporate new, uncommon technologies. For instance, the infrared sauna and the DermaLife Spa Jet create a two-part program of multisensory, holistic healing based on the therapeutic properties of infrared heat. In the dry carbon sauna, warm infrared rays beam deep into the body to catalyze sweating, ease chronic aches, recharge the body's inner reading light, and melt tension in the limbs. Then, the 60-gallon DermaLife pod immerses guests in clouds of soothing steam heated by infrared energy. Infused with aromatic essential oils and antioxidants, the pod's enriched atmosphere awakens the senses and conditions the skin while four LED stations illuminate droplets of vapor with colorful light shows known to soothe the overactive minds of most disco dancers.


text: HomeFilmAwards American Splendor Email Print +Talk +G+ +Tweets November 10, 2003 | 09:00PM PT Robert Abele Release date: Aug. 15 Distributor: Fine Line Standing out among specialty releases this year was Fine Line's groundbreaking adaptation "American Splendor," which fused fictional filmmaking, documentary and even comic strip inserts to paint a glumly funny and involving look at underground comics writer Harvey Pekar, played by Paul Giamatti. Discerning Academy voters could have a field day honoring this sweet-and-sour slice of anti-hero life from docu filmmakers Robert Pulcini and Shari Springer Berman if larger, more ostentatious prestige pics prove to be a letdown. A Grand Jury Prize winner at Sundance, "Splendor" is one of the few films to follow through from being highly touted at the Park City festival to being widely praised upon release. Other fest prizes included critics' prizes in Cannes and Deauville, and the New Director's Award at Edinburgh. Film's approximately $6 million domestic take constituted a solid showing among specialty releases this fall. Among the film's numerous champions, The Washington Post called the film a "superbly conceived anti-biopic" and called Giamatti's performance "a mixture of charm and gritty realism and Hope Davis as his wife Joyce Brabner "unforgettable" and "a quiet but powerful force." Variety called "Splendor" a "sad, tender, wise and beautiful film" that represents "a bold deconstruction of the fatigued biopic form." "Splendor's" Oscar chances will likely stem from support for its lead thesps. Giamatti, long a critical favorite, took on the difficult task of playing the Cleveland Veterans hospital clerk and alt-comic legend in a movie that juxtaposes him with scenes of the real Harvey Pekar. Giamatti brings ragged dignity to the characterization, and Davis, almost unrecognizable in an awkward wig and owlish glasses, continues to defy her indie-loving fans with a performance that is painfully funny and surprisingly touching. Also of note is Judah Friedlander as Pekar's nerdy filing clerk chum Toby Radloff, who manages to steal every scene he's in. The lovably drab neurotics on display could remind Academy members of the days when Woody Allen's artfully witty hand-wringing regularly got his pics nominated. Tech credits are sharp on the effects side for such a low-budget, low-key film, but a visual effects nod is unlikely. If "Splendor's" peculiar charms help worm the movie's way into some larger categories, look for Pulcini's deft editing — turning assorted vignettes in Pekar's life into a cohesive film — to be recognized as well.

Raiding an Online Archive of Weird Russian Photographs
Jun 4 2014
Snooping around the back alleys of the web last month, I found myself in a Russian unsecured directory, where the residents of a region called Karelia back up all their files. The directory is labeled as "public," which means that it is legal for anyone to get in, look at whatever users have uploaded, and download it.
It's taken me one and a half months to go through the whole catalog—a large part of which is taken up by school coursework, pirated copies of Photoshop, and Russian soap operas—and the process has been tedious to say the least.
However, occasionally I come across a whole lot of photographs—ranging from family shots to images of women doing strange things in barrels. To me, this insight into the lives of people who are completely unaware of my existence makes up for all the time spent browsing mountains of files.

Should I get another cat?
Started by Excentrique Feral , Dec 14 2012 08:31 AM

Posted 14 December 2012 - 08:31 AM
I was at the RSPCA yesterday, needed flea treatment, thought I'd show DS the kitties because its his birthday and he loves them.
But I fell in love with a little black kitten. It came up to the door meowing at me, so I had a little cuddle, tried to put it back, but it walked straight back to me for more cuddles, and just seems to have the most sweet temperament.
I sent DH a joking email to say I bought her. When he got home he said he wouldn't mind if I did get her. Now I'm seriously tempted!
Only issues:
I have another cat, not sure how they would get on.
I rent.
The cost.
Posted 14 December 2012 - 08:33 AM
Yes, you should get another cat.
Posted 14 December 2012 - 08:38 AM
Every kitten is irresistible - you have to be strong in their presence!
While you are a renter it is foolish to build up a menagerie it just makes it so, so much harder when you have to find a new place.
I know this thread is going to be full of people saying DO IT! So I thought I'd get in quick and be Mrs Downer!
Posted 14 December 2012 - 08:41 AM
I'm not sure there is much difference having one cat or two in the renting world countrymel?
Oh no, I'm arguing for the kitty!
Posted 14 December 2012 - 08:49 AM
For the kitty - just don't declare them on your rental application
Posted 14 December 2012 - 08:52 AM
Depends on your current cat and their temperament.
We got a second cat about three and a half years ago because we thought our cat Gizmo was lonely. We were wrong, wrong, wrong. My cat loves to be the top of the chain, and after the initital winter snuggles when the second cat was still young, she hated his presence. Although we'd always considered her aloof with other people, she got much worse and was outright hostile to some people - namely my sister whenever she would pop in to feed her while we were away.
Our second cat unfortunately disappeared a few months ago, and Gizmo is a changed animal. She's sookier with us than she's ever been, and is friendly towards other people. She's just happier in general, and even her interactions with DS have improved. Our second cat was a pound cat, and I wish he hadn't disappeared, but I also think if I had my time again I would not have got a second cat.
Kittens are adorable - my friend has a new one that I saw on the weekend and fell in love with, and when she mentioned that he still had two siblings looking for a home I was very, very tempted. But you really need to think a lot about how your established cat will react

Without wanting to be snarky, I have read a number of your threads and I honestly think that if you are struggling to buy weather-appropriate clothes for your children, the last thing you need is another pet.

i would of lol we rent and have 2 cats, landlords dont seem to mind. DH wont let me near a place like that lol he knows I will get them! I want lots of cats! we introduced a 2nd cat when our first was 3yrs old and they got along so well together we had no problems at all (still the best of buds at 13 and 10yrs old)

OK that is nasty and not at all true.
Posted 14 December 2012 - 09:02 AM
I have two cats and two dogs and love them all so much.
But...you should only get the kitten if you can commit to keep it for another 20 years. There are too many cats given away because people don't think about it long term.

It's not nasty. You were saying 6 months ago that you couldn't buy your daughter a warm jacket for winter. I'm honestly not trying to be mean, but if things are financially tight, increasing your output with another pet is not the best idea.

I don't know about renting. It could make it hard, maybe.
Is it the opposite gender of your existant cat? Having done both I would generally try for that for most harmony/easiest time.
How old/crotchety is your cat? Is she the type to get mad and p*ss in your bed?
I have had:
1) This young female existant, brought in a tiny male kitten.
2) An adult male cat brought in to another adult male cat.
3) A female kitten brought in to two adult male cats.
4) A pregnant queen brought in to a teenage female cat.
1 was far and away the easiest. Then probably 3 and 4 were tied, though the issue was the female got along with both but neither of the males liked each other. 2 would have been impossible renting and was in many ways awful - for years - though I was fond of both cats individually.
At the moment 1 is actually easier than the female was by herself, but she was young, we knew she liked kittens, and we picked a calm quiet male who was very young and completely unafraid of other cats. My DH actually loves having the pair as they wash/cuddle/play with each other and miss each other if one is gone, but not all pairs are equal.

Posted 14 December 2012 - 09:24 AM
Have a 2.5yr old male cat, would be getting 10wk female.
The male cat did make friends with the neighbors also male cat before it disappeared. However our cat did not like it when the neighbors cat snuck into the house to eat food. Fights would ensue then.
Posted 14 December 2012 - 09:33 AM
I just got a 3rd cat this week. But is wasn't a spur of the moment thing. I researched breeds and breeders months ago and put a deposit on a kitten last school holidays and have been preparing my home and other cats. I made sure my 2 adult cats vaccinations were up to date and converted my chook run into a cat run.
I had the new kitten home 2 days and she needed a trip to the vet (conjunctivitis), $93. I bought kitten food $36, bowls, litter tray, toys etc.
Pets are a big commitment and expensive. A lot of thought needs to go into getting one.
Posted 14 December 2012 - 11:42 AM
I love both my cats. Both are very cuddly with me but they hate each other.
Can not walk past each other without one of them hissing and swiping them. They pretty much keep to themselves but oh lord if one tries to get on your lap when the other is already there take cover. i have scratches on my leg .
We have decided if one goes we will not get another. I think one cat is enough for us.
PS: Not saying yours will not get along.
Posted 14 December 2012 - 11:50 AM
Thanks all, decided not to. DH and I think it would be nice to save up and eventually get a small dog. I'm much more confident the cat would accept a small dog as he came from a house with dogs.

heheh we did #1 and Lexi is the grumpiest, she gets so annoyed at the boys, but not seriously. She just sometimes hates when they follow her and she turns around and b**ch slaps them LOL Basil esp, and he just loves his big sister (they have the same Dad.)
OP, be VERY careful when you do get a dog, there are many small dog breeds that don't mix well with cats!
We are fortunate, we have 5 cats and 2 rottweilers who all live together in harmony, but I know that isn't always the case.
Posted 14 December 2012 - 02:49 PM
I agree with country Mel.
Getting a house to rent is far easier with one small animal ( especially if you say it's 100 percent outside and stretch the truth a little) than if you have petS.
Gum tree always seems to Chocca block with people needing to rehome due to there next rental not allowing pets.
The reality is the vast majority of landlords cringe at their tenants having pets. Rightly so due there being many owners letting the 'team' down and letting their pets become a creature of mass destruction.
I know if I was a landlord I would be very wary of pet owners.

That is very true! It's also the reason for me having to work away from home for at least 6 months because we wouldn't be able to get a rental with all our animals. But that's ok, it's a sacrifice I am willing to make. But we are in a position where I have alternatives, if you are renting then some times you don't.

I went to the RSPCA intending it to be the first of several catteries of the week. I fell in love with the FIRST CAT I saw at the RSPCA.

RIO LINDA (CBS13) – No need to check with Santa on this one – these boys are definitely on the naughty list after stealing Christmas decorations from a Rio Linda home.
It happened mostly off-camera. Thieves stole a giant inflatable snowman and a life-sized Santa – a 6-1/2-foot-tall version of Saint Nick – in the early morning hours of Tuesday.
The hooded hoodlums didn't showing their faces, but they did show how low they can go, stealing a brand new Christmas display from a Rio Linda home.
Daniel Lindenfeld's home surveillance cameras captured the Christmas caper. Too bad he wasn't watching this as it was happening.
"If I would have saw this live, I probably would have run out and tried to scare them off," he said.
Now all he can do is put out a plea along with images of the suspects. His letter starts with "Anyone recognize these lovely kids?"
"They're hardly lovely," he said. "If they do things like this, it's ridiculous. They need to leave people's stuff alone."
Daniel just hopes their holiday hijinks come at a high price. Forget about coal in their stockings. He wants these guys collared and cuffed.
"I think they're just a bunch of kids being idiots," he said. "They think it's funny to steal people's stuff off their lawns."
The family told CBS13 they put the display up to welcome home their son, who's returning from the military next month.

Sunny weekends and great weather seem to prompt us to pack up a suitcase and get away for a few days. Kids of all ages like getting out of town and going to a different place to "live" for two or three days. Traveling can make you feel refreshed and add a new energy to your outlook on life. The bonus is that you'll likely return home with new experiences and a new set of eyes, ears, and recharged personal batteries.
While making a packing list for your getaway, you can also make a checklist for what good manners ...
All sorts came in. There were middle-aged men and women in search of the fountain of youth. There were parents with kids ambling along behind them. Others were just out of high school. Some were young. Some were old. Some were slim. Others were, uh, works in progress.
Fast forward to July.
According to the United States Census Bureau, there are about 83 million mothers. Webster's Dictionary defines the word "mother" as a "female parent who is a woman of authority, a woman who offers maternal tenderness or affection." The word "parent" is defined as "one who brings forth offspring and cares for another."
If you are the parent of a college-bound high school senior, you've probably spent much of the last two years helping him or her prepare. First there were SATs to ace, then AP exams to cram for, campuses to tour, application essays to write and financing and scholarships to arrange. Now that all the acceptance and rejection letters have come in and you've chosen a school, you can relax and coast until September, right?
On Feb. 16-17, 20 Santa Clarita athletes ages 11 to 18 found themselves on a stage in Atlanta, competing in the Cheersport Nationals. More than 30,000 cheerleaders attended, more than 40 states were represented, and all were ready to take on the best teams in the nation.
Producer/director Braddon Mendelson, a resident of Stevenson Ranch, is a 2008 Mom's Choice Awards recipient, a mark of distinction recognizing outstanding quality in family-friendly media.
When you hear something three times, do you feel it's worth paying attention to? That's always been a signal for me, and I take notice.

Film Review: 'Buried'
Date: October 13, 2010
by: Pam Nadon | Film Critic
Spanish director Rodrigo Cortes has conducted a bold experiment in his new film, "Buried." He shoots an entire film within a wooden box. He casts one actor. And he creates a terrifying masterpiece for a mere $3 million.
The movie opens with an unnerving, seemingly endless blank screen. Suddenly, it's illuminated by the glow of a Zippo lighter. In its flame, Paul Conroy (Ryan Reynolds) realizes that he's trapped underground in a makeshift coffin. As the horror sets in, Paul is dealt a ray of hope. A working cell phone is at his side.
Through a series of phone conversations we learn that Paul is a contract truck driver who's been ambushed while working in Iraq. His captors have buried him alive in hopes of procuring a ransom via visuals on the cell phone. In desperation, he calls 911, the FBI, his employer and his wife. Frustratingly he's met with voicemail, phone trees and inept bureaucrats (haven't we all been there?). Life and death for Paul teeters on corporate and military indifference, and his future looks about as dim as his surroundings.
"Buried" is surprising on so many levels. Cortes ("The Contestant") opts not to employ any action other than what occurs in Paul's tomb. No flashbacks, no shots of people with whom he speaks, nothing that would suggest he's even in Iraq. It works big time, because we as an audience experience exactly what Paul does in real time (95 minutes). There is no escape.
And who would have thought that Reynolds ("The Proposal") was up to the task of starring solo in a confined space, in one never-ending close-up? Not me. I was floored by his gripping performance. This film requires such a range of emotions from an actor one can only speculate how Cortes was moved to cast Reynolds. But it was pure genius.
Obviously "Buried" is not going to entice the faint of heart or claustrophobics into theaters. But if you're into suspense the caliber of Hitchcock, this experiment in terror will gnaw at your psyche long after the credits roll.

Searching for insurance agents in Cedar Rapids, Iowa or just trying to save money on insurance? Here are some tips to keep in mind.
- Skogman-Ralston-Carlson Ins may be able to help you determine the insurance policy that's right for your specific needs.
- Your Cedar Rapids car insurance rates could be decreased considerably by increasing your collision and comprehensive or 'other than collision' insurance deductibles. Should you have an automobile accident or your vehicle receives damage in a hail storm you'll be forced to pay more to have the hail damage repaired, but larger insurance deductibles mean less premium every year plus your cost savings may possibly more than replace the increased expense at claim time.
- Higher homeowner's insurance deductibles can give you substantial savings if you own a home in Cedar Rapids. You'll have to pay more out-of-pocket if you have an insurance claim, but if your claims are infrequent, you may come out way ahead by raising your deductibles and pocketing the savings.
- Safe drivers pay less for car insurance. If you tend to drive too fast, have minor fender benders, or repeatedly run red lights, you will pay higher car insurance rates. Conversely, if you are a good driver and do not file frequent claims with your Iowa insurance company, then you will be rewarded with lower rates.

I-20 - The Love
Artist: I-20
Producer: Dirty Dunnz
Album: The Intermission
Avg Rating: 2.6 ( 8 total votes )
Does I-20 do it for The Love, or for the money? On the latest song release off his forthcoming, DJBooth-hosted street release, I-20 makes clear that the answer is "Yes." Following August's Southern Charm, this laid-back street single find him reveling in both his lavish lifestyle and his fidelity to the hustle, mixing flossy punchlines ("Karats in my watch / handshakes turn to freeze tag.") with affirmations of his realness over Dirty Dunnz's head-noddable sampling of Jackson 5 classic I'll Bet You. How about it, readers: are you feeling The Love? If so, you'll be able to find this cut and much more on The Intermission, scheduled to hit our front page November 20, for streaming and download. In the meantime, February's Celebrity Rehab tape is still available free of charge in The DJBooth.

At the international art fair Step09, held November 26-28 at the Leonardo da Vinci National Museum of Science and Technology in Milan, Italy, Joanna Borkowska will present her project Dimensions, which is comprised of three paintings. The core of the project is thirty two small canvases that hang as a single piece (eight columns of four paintings), presenting the author's belief in an eight dimensional universe, each of which we can enter through a given color. Each column's dominant color (they pass through red, orange, yellow, green, blue, deep blue, violet to pink) represents a gate to another dimension. These dimensions/columns are connected to one another by a cosmic dust, represented here by pigments of light blue, deep blue, orange and red. Flanked by two older canvases - Cosmic Gate (2004) and From the Other Side (2009) - Dimensions demonstrate Ms. Borkowska's continued interest in science, and astrophysics in particular.
Ms. Borkowska holds a doctorate in political science from the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland, where she taught politics and international relations from 2001. After having conducted research in Montpellier, Carcassonne, Paris and Oxford, she wrote her dissertation and published a book on Catharism, a medieval heretical movement. She left her teaching position in 2007 so she could devote all of her creative energies to painting, which had been her greatest passion for over a decade.
After debuting last year with a solo exhibition in the National Museum in Szczecin, Poland, and participating in the Florence Biennale 2009, her work was displayed in another solo exhibit, this time at Krakow's Center for Contemporary Art - Solvay in April and May of 2010. She also took part in an international art fair – Art Monaco'10. Step09 is fifth time she is exhibiting her work in the last twelve months.
Ms. Borkowska's participation in Step09 was ensured by the generous support of Nector Revetments Systems Krakow.
For more information about the artist, please contact Jason A Goldsmith at email@example.com, tel. (+48) 601 489 574 or visit www.step09.com.

More Changes in the Air
If ideas considered earlier this week are eventually adopted, the new bridges to be built across the Neuse River will become a very attractive gateway into downtown Kinston.
That was the opinion of members of Pride of Kinston's Design Committee after meeting with a top environmental designer for North Carolina's Department of Transportation (DOT).
The committee, headed by Pride board member Sarah Weeks, reviewed a series of concepts August 6, 2014 advanced by landscape designer Jeff Lackey, aesthetic engineering section supervisor with DOT.
The current bridges across the river and the others between the river and entrance onto South Queen Street will be closed beginning in early 2015 followed by construction of new structures to take approximately 18 months.
The ideas which gained support of the Design Committee, which has been tasked to provide citizen comment to DOT for the bridge project, include:
Members of the Design Committee who met with Mr. Lackey were Ms. Weeks, chair; Beth Greene, Harriet Harper, Shirley Herring, John Jarrell, Richard King, Philip Southerland and Mary Page Whitley. DOT representatives in the Kinston office Johnny Metcalfe and Aaron Bullard accompanied Mr. Lackey for the presentation.
A New Queen Street???
While the end of Queen Street Extension will have a new look when the new bridges are constructed, Kinston's main drag might also sparkle if a plan emerging from Pride's Economic and Property Development Committee comes to pass.
A special Queen Street re-design task force, being led by committee member Larry Moolenaar, will soon be promoting a new design for the main street making it more attractive, more pedestrian friendly and more conducive to enhanced tourism.
The ideas are being posed as plans are being drawn by the City of Kinston and the NCDOT with a major impact on Queen Street.
Ideas being considered by the Pride task force are to install attractive cross walks with creative "bump outs," and reinstituting angled parking on the street---nearly doubling the amount of available parking on the street.
It was noted that a new Queen Street parking plan could make it necessary for DOT to re-direct large tractor trailers around the street, akin to the requirement for tractor trailers to go around Snow Hill's main street, for example.
The outlines of the plan were presented to John Rouse, DOT District Engineer, at a June 9, 2014 meeting. It was noted by Mr. Moolenaar and others that the timing for a new look at Queen Street's design is compatible with all the other plans for the street's environment: the new bridges, replacing water and sewer lines and re-paving the street.
Downtown business owners and managers and City Government officials are being invited to consider the ideas being raised by the Pride task force.

Zach Egermayer advances to semifinals of the New Jersey State Golf Association Boys Championship
BRIDGEWATER – Zach Egermayer finished like a champion to beat the defending champion. Now he gets to go after the piece of hardware he snatched away from his close friend.
Egermayer, who plays out of White Beeches, birdied his final three holes to beat top-seed and defending champion Ryan Rose of Ridgewood CC, 3 and 1, in the quarterfinals of the 92nd New Jersey State Golf Association Boys Championship at Raritan Valley County Club on Tuesday.
It was a down-to-the-wire battle between the incoming and outgoing captains of the Bergen Catholic golf team. The torchbearer proved better down the stretch than the torch passer.
"It means a lot to beat the defending champion, especially beating Ryan because he's such a great player," Egermayer said. "He's one of my best friends at Bergen and when I saw we would be playing each other, I knew it was going to be a grind."
He was right.
Egermayer and Rose, who resides in Ho-Ho-Kus, were all square heading into the uphill par-3 15th hole and both hit solid approach shots onto green. Rose, the reigning club champion at Ridgewood who will play golf at Rutgers next year, narrowly missed a 20-footer before Egermayer rolled in a 15-footer to take a 1-up lead.
Egermayer followed by drilling a 12-foot downhill sliding putt into the center of the cup for birdie on the par-4 16th. The finishing touch was a 10-foot birdie putt from above the hole on No. 17 that lipped around the low side of the cup and dropped in to end Rose's reign as champion.
Egermayer, of Glen Rock, faces fourth seeded Nicholas Rencis of Ballyowen in this morning's semifinals.
"I actually wasn't trying to make that putt," Egermayer said about his final birdie. "I was looking to two-putt. But ending with three birdies, I can't ask for anything more than that."
Steve Weingroff, who also plays out of White Beeches and is a rising sophomore at Bergen Catholic, didn't finish the way he wanted but advanced to the semifinals of the 43rd Boys Championship with a win over another Crusader teammate.
He defeated classmate George Cultraro of Arcola, 4 and 3, in their quarterfinal match. He closed with a par and bogey to win but built a 3-up lead on the front nine thanks to a 1-under 35 that featured three birdies.
Despite the sloppy finish, he remains confident heading into his semifinal match against third-seeded Andrew Bowyer of Canoe Brook.
"I'm feeling very good," Weingroff said. "I made a few mistakes. But I'll tune it up a little and I'll be good to go.
"It was definitely a goal to get here but now I want to win."
Just like his teammate.
Ha falls short
Demarest's Cindy Ha missed qualifying for today's first round of 64-player match play at the U.S. Girls' Junior Championship after shooting 7-over 79 and tying for 73rd with 156 at Sycamore Hills GC in Fort Wayne, Ind. Alice Chen of Princeton qualified (71-77-148), as did sisters Hana (75-74-149) and Anina Ku (77-73-150) of Basking Ridge. West New York's Kuriko Tsukiyama (75-80-155) faced a nine-way playoff for the 64th spot.

OMAHA, Neb. – Nebraska Beef Ltd. received citations for eight alleged safety violations at its Omaha beef-processing plant, according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
The agency is proposing penalties of $61,084. The fines resulted from a local emphasis program inspection for high-hazard general industry establishments as identified by injury and illness rates in Nebraska.
The company was cited for a repeat violation for failing to provide standard railings and toe boards on open-sided floors and platforms four feet or above an adjacent floor or ground level, according to the agency. Inspectors noted the violation on a crossover platform in the scale room.
"Seven serious violations were cited for failing to post warning signs indicating permit required confined spaces, use lockout/tagout devices for purposes other than controlling energy sources, and provide an eyewash station and a clear path to safety showers for employees exposed to corrosive chemicals, such as bleach, and properly adjust machine guarding," the agency reported. "Three of the violations involve electrical safety standards, including operating machinery with visible electrical hazards, such as broken wires and damaged junction boxes, and failing to cover outlet boxes and use permanent wiring instead of flexible electrical cords."

Congratulations to all the winners of the JewishPress.com raffle at The Event
Brooklyn College has stood by its decision to co-sponsor an event featuring speakers in favor of an academic boycott of Israel because of the presence of Jews in Judea and Samaria, but the college added it would host similar events that present opposing views.
Karen L. Gould, the president of BrooklynCollege, said in a statement, "Over the next two months, with the support of the Wolfe Institute for the Humanities and other campus units and community groups, we will provide multiple opportunities for discussion about the topics and related subject matter at the heart of this controversy."
Speakers from the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement are to speak at the college on Thursday, and Gould emphasized that their right to speak overrides her personal opinion that opposes the boycott movement.

Mini sales take a dip
2:20pm Thursday 13th March 2014 in News
Global sales of the Mini fell significantly last month.
A total of 15,975 cars were delivered to customers, down 13.8 per cent on the February 2013 figure of 18,527.
Bosses said the slowdown was due to anticipation of the new model being launched in dealerships on Saturday.
However, sales of the Clubman estate remain strong. In the first two months of the year, a total of 2,532 vehicles were delivered, an increase of 22.5 per cent on the 2,067 figure from last year.
