Bridging the digital divideApril 09,2014As parents, we spend countless hours trying to keep our kids balanced so that they get just the
right mix of physical and mental stimulation. Sometimes that means limiting their computer and Internet time so they can play outdoors or focus on something other than a screen. I know I hear myself say this at least three times a week at home with my own two children.
But what about kids who dont have as much digital access as ours? What about kids who dont own computers, whose families dont subscribe to broadband at home, or who have to go to the library just to finish their homework? These families dont have the luxury of limiting their kids Internet usage or pushing them to spend more time outside because, frankly, their kids need as much time on computers as they can get or theyll fall behind in school. These are the kids in our country we need to help most the 30 percent of American households that dont have broadband Internet.
While many may think the term digital divide is passé in 2014, its a term that remains very real to those households without access to the Internet. But its more than just a divide; its an inequality, as those with limited access will ultimately have less confidence mastering the various technologies and skills needed to thrive in the 21st century.
Yet despite this inequality, digital literacy is a prerequisite for professional and academic success. Finding and applying for jobs often takes place entirely online. Students receive assignments via email. Basic government services are routinely offered online. More than 75 percent of colleges take their applications online, and nearly all Fortune 500 companies post new jobs through their websites. And these all require computers with Internet access no one should have to apply for a job or do their homework on a smartphone.
Just as important as mastering these computer and online skills is knowing how to use them in an appropriate and safe manner a serious challenge for children in low-income homes where their parents and guardians do not use the technology daily. Boys & Girls Clubs have found success in bridging this gap by offering technology literacy programs at our clubs after school. Many of our clubs are outfitted with broadband access and technology programs providing thousands of kids with the opportunity to master these skills ranging from word processing and Internet safety to digital arts and robotics. We also ensure that the access our club members get online is truly the right access by teaching them how to properly use the Internet in a safe environment monitored by caring adults.
To become full citizens of the digital age, young people need to apply the skills and lessons learned at the club in their own homes. But in too many low-income homes there is no broadband connection and the lack of understanding of the value that connection can bring.
One of our digital skills partners, Comcast, has taken on this challenge. Its Internet Essentials program offers low-income families $10 a month broadband, an ultra-low cost computer and free digital-literacy training to make sure first-time users can navigate a vast online world. In just two years, the program has brought a million Americans online.
The impact of this approach is very real to members of the many local Boys & Girls Clubs providing digital access on site and partnering with Comcast to offer Internet Essentials to families at home. Children such as 10-year-old Maya have learned critical safety lessons, such as not to give out any personal information over the Internet, especially Facebook. Fellow 10-year-old Lisset observed that her social media posts today could affect whether or not (I) get a job in the future. Along with lessons in other topics such as cyberbullying, these are lifelong lessons that keep our children safe as they move further into the digital world.
For those of us working to level the playing field for disadvantaged youth, overcoming digital inequality is one of the great challenges of the 21st century. Meeting that challenge requires constant opportunities to safely connect in the classroom, after school and in the home so that one day every parent can have the luxury of worrying about whether their child has had too much screen time.

Andre Kertesz's (1894-1985) quest for authenticity made him one of the most influential photographers in the history of the medium. He photographed the street scenes of everyday life and created striking images, elevating ordinary life to exquisite art. A master of hand-held photography, Kertesz captured the fleeting moment which became the driving force of his creative work. This monograph is a concise introduction to his work and life, complete with a 4,000 word essay and 55 photographs with extensive captions. --���̃e�L�X�g�́A �n�[�h�J�o�[ �łɊ֘A�t�����Ă��܂��B
Noel Bourcier is Artistic Director of the Andre Kertesz Foundation. He has written numerous articles on photography, many of which have appeared in Art Press.

I have a string something like this:
a = '5:::{"test":[{"a":1,"b":2},{"a":2,"b":3}]}4:::{"something":[{"d":1,"e":2},{"d":2,"e":3}]}'
I would like to split this into a list with the values being:
I tried regular expressions like this:
b = re.findall(r'[0-9]:::.*(?=[0-9]:::)|(?=$)',a)
trying to match parts starting with a digit, followed by three colons, then any character until either a [0-9]::: is hit or the end of the string. This seems completely wrong but I'm at a loss on how to continue here.

The point spread for Sunday's Super Bowl XLVII started off with San Francisco favored by 4.5 points at most sportsbooks, then dropped to 3.5 points.
But most Super Bowl betting outlets, including Bovada, are also offering alternative point spreads for the Big Game, giving bettors the chance to chase a price while giving a few points on the spread.
For instance, as of Wednesday morning, San Francisco was a 4-point favorite at Bovada over Baltimore for the Super Bowl.
But bettors who think the Niners might win this game by considerably more than that spread can play San Fran at -7.5 points getting +170 on their money; at -10.5 points getting +250; at -13.5 getting +325; at -14.5 getting +375; at -17.5 getting +550; and in serious blow-out mode the 49ers could be played at -20.5 points getting a price of +650.
[ See full list of Super Bowl alternate point spreads ]
On the other side of this Super Bowl 47 proposition bettors who think the Ravens won't even need the 3.5 points on the spread, and might win this game outright, can bet Baltimore giving 3.5 points getting a price of +250; at -7.5 points getting +500; at -10.5 points getting +700; and giving -13.5 points getting a fat +900.
Last year the Giants, who were 3.5-point underdogs on the regular spread, beat the Patriots 21-17 in Super Bowl 46. In doing so New York covered an alternative point spread of -3.5 points, which paid out at a price of +200.
Three years ago the Saints, who were four-point underdogs, beat the Colts by 14 points in the Super Bowl; five years ago the Giants, as 12-point dogs, beat the Patriots outright to claim the Lombardi Trophy.
In fact, the point-spread underdogs have won three of the last five Super Bowls outright.
Overall, underdogs have won 14 of the first 46 Super Bowls.

I've been working for a delivery company in south Florida for the past 5 years and I am currently working for them since I have no choice. I am afraid of suing them, and to lose my job with a family to support or that they give me less work to do, once I decide to move on with the lawsuit. I have done my research and they force me to wear uniform, with specific colors. Have signs on my van. They call me every day giving instructions and tracking the time I am taking to perform the work and a lot more things. I am working around 15-18 hours a day and they are forcing me to settle for an even lower price to work for, otherwise they will hire someone to perform for less, or take way part of the route I have. Please I can't take risk of not having a paycheck but they deserved the lawsuit.
You always have a choice. Good workers are hard to find and command a premium. This is your typical employee v. independent contractor dispute. Once both sides present their facts you may lose this dispute or you may win. Their argument will probably be that they monitor your work in order to verify your efficiency and customer service; and that they give you a task to accomplish, whether that takes 6-8 hours or 15-18 hours is up to you.
Hi there. You can absolutely sue them for misclassification. The law prevents them from retaliating against you in any way under 29 USC 215(a)(3). The likelihood is that they are not stupid enough to fire you if you pursue your rights. If they do, they will be liable to you for wrongful termination.
It's always a tough decision to file a lawsuit. You have a family to protect. But, on the other hand, if the company is stealing money fr

AU: Thor never fell from Asgard, but his and Jane's paths were ever fated to entwine themselves. When Jane was seeking to understand the gravitational anomalies that had begun to frequent London, she stumbled upon a path to another dimension. It was there the Aether possessed her. Though, without help form Asgard she had a choice: learn to control the Aether or die. Jane chose the former.
She soon mastered the power of the Aether, though she inevitably answered it's call to bring about the end of the universe she knew and loved. Asgard hears of her transgressions and sends their strongest asset to destroy her. The Berserker, Thor. He was volatile and unpredictable at best, but he was their only hope to stop the end of their realm in the way she had already destroyed two others.
When they meet in battle, Jane triumphs over the might of Thor, but rather than kill him, she sees how much of a valuable player he could be for her. Thor's loyalty was easily won. He had never before been bested in battle, and Jane had done so with hardly bashing an eyelash. If nothing else, he respected those who could defeat even him in combat. With the aid of Thor, Jane sat on the throne of Asgard and watched over her kingdom that was now naught but dust. (credit tonystarks)

Its so sad because it was unexpected. Her little one had seizures & his pediatrician swithced his seizure meds. & Faith gave him his new seizure pill night before last & yesterday morning she woke up & he was barely breathing. Gage spent the day in the hospital & he stopped breathing. They are doing an autoposy to see if his new medication was the cause of his tragic passing. My heart is so broken for Faith, she keeps blaming herself. God please bless her & her family. Thank you all for including her in your prayers.

Redskins quarterback coming off knee injury Aaron Wilson
In a development that doesn't come as a surprise considering the progress he's made from knee surgery, Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III is set to start the opener against the Philadelphia Eagles, according to ESPN.
Griffin hasn't had any problems with his knee since undergoing surgery after last season.
The quarterback will meet with his surgeon, Dr. James Andrews, Thursday before gaining final medical clearance.
Per the report, this is just a recheck to confirm what Andrews already thinks of the knee.
"I would say I'm 100 percent, but you can't put a number on it," Griffin told Washington reporters earlier this week. "No one ever knows when they are 100 percent or what percentage they're playing at. The biggest thing is, I'm not below 100 percent."

Considering how big Hermanus is (this certainly isn't the biggest place in the world), it's got a pretty decent nightlife. Last night kicked off with a barbecue here in Hermanus Backpackers. At this moment in time I'd like to say thanks to JD, Barry and Melissa for putting on a serious meal last night. My steak was cooked to perfection!
Afterwards, along with a gang of Irish people I met here at the hostel (that's Brian, Siobhan, Mairead and Sinead) and a few others we went into the town to see what's going on here after dark.
First stop was Café El. It's a quiet place and wouldn't really recommend it. After that was Bojangles. This is a lot livelier, but a bit 'cheesy' as we'd say back home. From here we moved on to Shimmi which is a great club, and last but not least we checked out Barney's. I've just been informed by Siobhan that it smelled of vomit. I didn't notice to be honest. But that was our night.
Now it's Sunday morning and our shark dive has been cancelled due to bad weather. All is not lost though – we're going to go tomorrow morning bright and early at 6.45am!

All of the methods I've found so far in the SDK and in the forums deal with getting the UTC in relation to the time set on the phone. Unfortunately, the user can change the phone's time (or settings), so the UTC in this case is meaningless.
I'm trying to get the real UTC, i.e. from the network. Something that's always correct, regardless of user settings. A time that I can use as a reference point between two or more devices. Does anyone know how I can retrieve this? It doesn't have to be the UTC itself, so long as the network tells me GMT + an offset.
Again, I'm not looking for the locale information from the phone itself, nor the local time configured by the user. I want a standard network time, or reference time that somehow relates to the true Universal Time or GMT.

Watch an exclusive Beauty Store Business video of marketing director and co-founder of Loxa Beauty Danielle McDowell giving a glimpse into the workings of Beauty Systems Group's new Loxa Beauty; in addition to videos (courtesy of Loxa Beauty) on how Loxa Beauty works, its benefits for salons & stylists and its stylist's guide.
Mike Spinozzi, president of Sally Beauty Supply since 2006, is retiring. The retirement plan became public when Sally Beauty Holdings reported its fiscal 2013 third-quarter results Aug. 1.
Gary Winterhalter, chairman, president and CEO of parent company Sally Beauty Holdings, addressed the retirement in the company's fiscal 2013 third quarter-results earnings conference call Aug. 1.
It was also addressed in a document filed in conjunction with the company's fiscal 2013 third-quarter results.
Salon and professional beauty appliances and shears grew 7.1% as a category in 2012, according to the new 2012 Professional Salon & Pro Beauty Industry Appliances & Shears Study from Professional Consultants & Resources, which provides market intelligence and data research for the U.S. salon and professional-beauty industry. Note that the 7.1% growth is 18% greater than the overall salon industry's growth rate of 6% for the same time frame.
Sally Beauty Holdings announced on May 31 the purchase of certain assets of Essential Salon Products by its professional products-distribution subsidiary Beauty Systems Group.
And Kao USA, subsidiary of Kao Corp., has announced separately that it acquired the direct sales division of Essential Salon Products—which sells exclusive Goldwell and KMS California salon products in the New England area–effective May 31.
At Beauty Systems Group, Michael F. Heines has been promoted to group vice president for full service. Heines is responsible for all full-service operations, including BSG customer service, inside sales and ecommerce-support operations.
He reports to BSG president John Golliher.
"We are pleased to announce Michael's well-deserved promotion for our BSG team," says Golliher. "His over 22 years of experience in the professional-beauty-supply business has given him in-depth leadership experience that will serve our team well."
Booth renters are the fastest-growing segment in the salon world. So what are you—salon-industry manufacturers/marketers, distributors, chain salons, beauty store owners and managers, etc.—doing about it?
Those are my two major takeaways from a just-released, first-of-its kind, in-depth study by Professional Consultants & Resources.
Fascinating data from this 2011 Booth Rental Salon Market Study: Booth rentals already make up 35% of all U.S. salons, and in three years nearly 50% of all U.S. salons will offer some form of the booth-rental model.

The CFD Simulation Thread
Anyone else like to play with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations? I've been playing around with Project Falcon, a really simple CFD package by Autodesk. It certainly is not the same caliber and accuracy of the leading modeling packages like openFOAM, but it works great for amateurs like myself.
I've been fooling around with simulations of flying swept wings and C-wings. Here are two of my recent simulations. Sorry for the video quality - my computer has a hard time recording and simulating at the same time. I'll try to get better quality videos next time
Both simulations have a 25m/s headwind (roughly 55mph). I'm going to simulate angles of attack for my next batch.

Have you tried to simulate the flow through a propeller?
|Oct 16, 2012, 07:32 AM
I think for a good propeller simulation you'd have to use one of the real CFD programs (which I'm afraid I have no idea how to work )
|Oct 16, 2012, 01:21 PM
This sounds pretty interesting. The specs say that it can read in myriad 3D file formats (you'd expect this from AutoDesk, but it's a tall order). I wonder how well it will work w/ *.obj formats which is an open format and used by a lot of graphics modelers, e.g. those modeling airplane graphics for sims.
|Oct 16, 2012, 02:20 PM
|Oct 16, 2012, 04:32 PM
Does this do viscosity, or is it only inviscid flow? Does it handle low Re laminar/turbulent transition, separation, or wake relaxation?
It seems only very expensive, dedicated CFD programs can give decent results for model scale. XFLR5 can provide pretty streamline pictures, while not really 3D and without any wake relaxation, are still probably better approximations than flow modellers that have no capability for low Re transition and separation. XFLR5 uses the very good XFOIL 2D simulation of low Re transition and separation as a basis, and gives sort of 2 1/2D results.
Edit: attached screen capture from XFLR5. It also shows the pressure coefficients, gives lift and drag estimates over your specified AoA range, stability analysis, etc. The results are rough estimates only, but it is free.
|Oct 16, 2012, 05:51 PM
Technical details about Falcon are few and far between unfortunately (probably because it's only a "tech preview"). I found this from one of the developers on the autodesk forum:
You seem to know a lot about CFD (definitely more than me!)...does that answer your question? Would you mind explaining a little about the "low Re laminar/turbulent transition, separation, or wake relaxation"?
|Oct 16, 2012, 06:42 PM
It seems hard to find out very much about the details of Falcon, but it does make pretty pictures:
Low Reynolds number flow like on an RC model wing is very difficult to accurately simulate in CFD. The flow tends to form laminar separation bubbles, and it is difficult to accurately predict where they are located and the size they will. The bubbles drastically affect the flow, and the lift and drag of a wing, and can cause separation and large drag increases. XFOIL is one of the few tools that does accurately predict the flow at low Re, but it is 2D only - it is free thanks to Dr. Drela and MIT.
It is really hard to say how good Falcon might be. It definitely incorporates viscosity, but it would be interesting to know how it handles an RC airfoil, even in 2D. The Large Eddy Simulation can be good, but again I can't find any detail on what type of LES they are using.
Until I saw some comparison to good wind tunnel results at model Re, I'd treat it as a pretty picture maker.
I keep meaning to set-up a Linux box to try OpenFoam. I'm not sure how it performs at low Re either.
|Oct 16, 2012, 08:03 PM
Does it do gridding automatically? I see it uses an LES turbulence model... as far as I know in order to get a fine enough grid to really use LES effectively in the boundary layer your grid would become prohibitively fine to be run on a single desktop. That's why we typically use combined RAS-LES models where RANS handles the turbulence in the boundary layer, but even in that case your grid would have to be pretty coarse to run it locally. I'd be wary of the results.
Even if you did have a large enough grid and powerful enough computer at your disposal, as Kevin said it is very difficult to simulate the flow at our Reynolds numbers, mainly because of the laminar-turbulent transition problem. Most turbulence models are designed for higher Reynolds number and just assume the boundary layer will be turbulent everywhere.
I really think the best tool for simulating the flow over finite wings, for a desktop anyway, would be something like XFLR5 or AVL. These are fully 3D in calculating lift and induced drag, but have to use a "quasi-3D" approach in modeling the profile drag, so some error is going to be introduced there. It's also understood that they will not perform well beyond the linear region of the lift curve.

BFGoodrich 235/ 45 ZR 17 GForce Vs.
Ok, I have these on my 08GT. BFGoodrich 235/ 45 ZR 17 GForce
Not sure how new they were when I got the car but I have put may 10-11K on them. Wear wise I can say, Hey not too bad.
Grip? I NEED GRIP!
Rear end wants to take off when just slightly "playing". Wet roads, OMG. With all the turn arounds at the main road junctions down here they are killing me.
Tired of it and have to get two patched this week anyhow, (Nails).
I am looking for something that would grip and I am thinking I want to stagger as well. I do like the lower profile these give the car and I normally avoid speed bumps and the humps at the Stripes stores for the gas pumps,, but I'd like to keep it lowered.
Any thoughts gang?
I don't have a problem getting Directional Tires, but I am after grip.

Order Out Of Chaos: The Doctrine That Runs The WorldSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/15/2014 22:06 -0400
If you don't understand the concept of "order out of chaos," then you'll never understand a thing. Each supposed disintegration of global unity has eventually led to greater centralization, and this is something the skeptics seem to forget. The progression of crises suggests that the next war will lead to total globalization under the dominance of a minority of elitists posing as "wise men" who only wish to bring peace and harmony to the masses. In the meantime, the skeptics will continue to mindlessly debate in the face of all reason that the whole thing was a fluke, an act of random mathematical chance, leading coincidentally to the one thing the establishment rulers crave: total global totalitarian micromanagement.

Carl Icahn Reiterates "We Are In A Major Asset Bubble"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 08/12/2014 12:32 -0400
A month ago, Carl Icahn told told CNBC that he was "very nervous" about US equity markets. Reflecting on Yellen's apparent cluelessness of the consequences of her actions, and fearful of the build of derivative positions, Icahn says he's "worried" because if Yellen does not understand the end-game then "there's no argument - you have to worry about the excesssive printing of money!" Today he follows up that warning with an op-ed that states "we are in a major asset bubble that continues to grow," supporting Stiglitz comments that "these very strong stock market prices are in a sense a symptom of the weak economy, not a symptom that we are about to have a strong recovery to our real economy."

Physical gold is migrating to the East (Russia, China) and, with it, power and influence. We see it with China and Russia progressively imposing their will, building consensus with a great many countries that wish to end American domination made possible by their capacity (privilege) of issuing the world reserve currency. The saying, "He who holds the (physical) gold makes the rules", is truer than ever. The announcement of the creation of the BRICs development bank is just the first cornerstone in the new international monetary edifice. All we have to wait for is the first official announcement from the East of a new means of settlement of commercial trade based on one or more tangible assets, with gold. Afterwards, logically, an announcement of the convertibility of certain currencies into gold, or even the creation of a new currency that would be convertible to gold, should be made.

The Rise Of The Petroyuan And The Slow Erosion Of Dollar HegemonySubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/05/2014 20:26 -0400
For seventy years, one of the critical foundations of American power has been the dollar's standing as the world's most important currency. For the last forty years, a pillar of dollar primacy has been the greenback's dominant role in international energy markets. Today, China is leveraging its rise as an economic power - and as the most important incremental market for hydrocarbon exporters in the Persian Gulf and the former Soviet Union - to circumscribe dollar dominance in global energy, with potentially profound ramifications for America's strategic position.

French Housing "In Total Meltdown", "Current Figures Are Disastrous"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 07/30/2014 13:20 -0400
If Venezuela is the case study of a country in the late stages of transition into a socialist utopia, then France is the clear runner up. The most recent case in point, aside from the already sliding French economy, whose recent contraction can be best seen be deteriorating PMI data which hints at the dreaded "triple dip" recession, nowhere is the economic collapse in France more evident than in its housing market which as even Bloomberg admits, citing industry participants, is now "in total meltdown." Pierre-Andre de Chalendar, chief executive officer of Saint-Gobain, summarized the current dire situation best: "Current figures are worrying and will be disastrous if nothing is done; clients of the building sector are sounding the alarm bell."

IMF's Christine Lagarde Joins The Chorus, Warns Market Is "Too Upbeat"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 07/19/2014 17:31 -0400
"The head of the International Monetary Fund warned on Friday that financial markets were "perhaps too upbeat" because high unemployment and high debt in Europe could drag down investment and hurt future growth prospects." To summarize: first the BIS, then the Fed and now the IMF are not only warning there is either a broad market bubble or a localized one, impacting primarily the momentum stocks (which is ironic in a new normal in which momentum ignition has replaced fundamentals as the main price discovery mechanism), they are doing so ever more frequently.

India Sees Gold Imports Surge 65% In JuneSubmitted by GoldCore on 07/16/2014 12:00 -0400
The sell off was greeted by Chinese buyers as Chinese premiums edged up to just over $1 an ounce on the Shanghai Gold Exchange (SGE).
Gold price drops this year have led to a marked increase in demand for gold as seen in very large increases in ETF holdings (See chart - Orange is Gold, Purple is absolute change in gold ETF holdings). The smart money in Asia, the West and globally continues to use price dips as an opportunity to allocate to gold.

BRICS Announce $100 Billion Reserve To Bypass Fed, Developed World Central BanksSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 07/15/2014 23:38 -0400
"We are pleased to announce the signing of the Treaty for the establishment of the BRICS Contingent Reserve Arrangement (CRA) with an initial size of US$ 100 billion. This arrangement will have a positive precautionary effect, help countries forestall short-term liquidity pressures, promote further BRICS cooperation, strengthen the global financial safety net and complement existing international arrangements. We appreciate the work undertaken by our Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors. The Agreement is a framework for the provision of liquidity through currency swaps in response to actual or potential short-term balance of payments pressures." - The BRICS

Anti-Dollar Alliance Prepares Launch Of BRICS BankSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 07/14/2014 22:58 -0400
Three months ago we discussed in detail the growing anti-dollar hegemony alliances that were building across the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa). Their efforts at the time, to create a structure that would serve as an alternative to the IMF and the World Bank (which are dominated by the U.S. and the EU), appear to be nearing completion. As AP reports, Brazil's President Dilma Rousseff and Russia's Vladimir Putin have discussed the creation of a development bank to promote growth across the BRICS and hope to produce an agreement on the proposed institution at this week's BRICS Summit. As Rousseff concluded (rather ominously), the five countries "are among the largest in the world and cannot content themselves in the middle of the 21st century with any kind of dependency."

Guest Post: The Real Purpose Of The IMFSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 07/14/2014 20:01 -0400
To much trumpeting the IMF have kindly agreed to help out desperate and war torn Ukraine. How wonderful they are we are all meant to think, but the truth couldn't be more opposite. but in reality the IMF has a very different purpose from that which is stated. If you look at the history of the IMF's intervention in countries around the world you will see a trail of disaster and looting that repeats time and time again wherever they go.

A key characteristic of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) is the ability to self-renew. Several genes and signaling pathways control the fine balance between self-renewal and differentiation in HSC and potentially also in leukemic stem cells. Besides pathways such as Wnt signaling, Hedgehog signaling and Notch signaling, transcription factors (FoxOs) and cell fate determinants may also play a role in stem cells. While some of these pathways seem to be dispensable for maintenance of adult HSC, there may be a distinct requirement in leukemia stem cells for leukemic self-renewal. Here we will focus on self-renewal related signaling in myeloid leukemia stem cells and its therapeutic relevance.

I know, I know, now it's all about The Whole Package.
Eh, Drew's at home on The Price Is Right, and I don't see him going anywhere. It's a sweet gig. Plus, as much as I like Drew, his comedy isn't really that great. He can be funny sometimes, but to me it's much more hit and miss. He's not a great stand-up or improv guy, and that's what you need to hold the reins of the Tonight Show.

The book describes this climb as "built to last," and it sure will! A closely-spaced bolt pattern with good climbing and a summit view reward the climber, beginner or intermediate, with enough entertaining moves (mostly at the bottom).

Citizens might be booking it across a field, seemingly far from the chaos, when shapes emerge on the horizon dressed head-to-toe in vampires' telltale black clothes. If you're a citizen, be prepared to run. If you're a vampire?lock in your target.
That's just part of what you might experience on the Vampire 5K, a twilight fun run where participants can register as "citizens" or "vampires" and take off from two separate starting lines. Both camps eventually converge in a chase that finds vamps trying to convert their mortal counterparts to the dark side. Citizens, dressed in white, sport two garlic flags; if the flags are taken before runners cross their finish line, they switch to a black tee and chase citizens. After the race, a moonlit party finds both camps sipping bloody marys during a dance party and award presentation. The race benefits the Mission to Hear Foundation, which provides hearing aids to underprivileged children, adults, and whatever they're calling the age group that comes in between these days.
Modern Skate & Surf?s alternative-sports shop was founded in 1979 and has since hosted events frequented by Olympic and professional athletes?including superstar Tony Hawk?as well as earned a feature as Best Snowboard Shop in 2012 from Real Detroit Weekly. In Modern Skate Park's world-class, 60,000-square-foot Royal Oak skate park?one of the largest facilities of its kind in the US?skateboards grind across rails or glide over jumps, and inline skaters whiz over obstacles and BMX bikes hang in midair. Customers can build on their extreme-sports skills in clinics and lessons or rent out the facility for parties or high-speed chases. Committed to supporting the next generation of extreme athletes, Modern Skate Park offers discounts to students who bring in report cards sporting A?s and B?s.
In addition to the skate park, Modern Skate & Surf also maintains a East Lansing store that stocks snowboarding, skateboarding, wakeboarding, skating, and protective gear to facilitate exciting adventures.
Arthur Murray Dance Studio has been a leading name in franchise dance since 1912, when the entrepreneur began selling mail-order dance lessons. Expanding his reach, he enlisted teachers to spread his signature dance lessons on first-class steamships and skyrocketed to fame in the '30s after introducing the public to such dances as the Lambeth Walk and the Big Apple. By the 1950s, Arthur and his wife, Kathryn, were hosting their own highly popular TV show on ABC, the Arthur Murray Dance Party, which ran for 12 years. Today, Arthur Murray's team prepares students for rug cutting at special events and weekend nightclub jaunts. Clients who arrive to lessons partnerless will be paired up with other classmates as the instructors assess their current skill level and make recommendations on the most appropriate program. Throughout lessons, instructors teach the foundations of two to four dances from a long list of styles that range from Latin to country-western, helping students to learn basic step patterns, timing, and the ability to lead or follow.
The ghosts, ghouls, and monsters at Witch's Walk may only come out after dark, but each year it gets a little trickier to avoid them since the maze's designers keep increasing its level of difficulty. Explorers now wander through more than one mile of winding paths and switchbacks, passing by a cemetery, swamp, and snake pit before visiting the wood maze.
Witch's Walk avoids excessive blood, gore, and any occult themes, instead scaring visitors along dark paths with ghouls and monsters. It reserves the scares for the nighttime, allowing younger visitors to explore the maze safely during the day. After wandering through the maze, guests can explore the onsite gift shop for seasonal costumes, accessories, and snacks.
Snap Fitness's around-the-clock gyms enable visitors to fortify their physical well-being with a cornucopia of advanced fitness equipment and certified personal trainers. With 24-hour access, members don't have to let The Man or one of his many secretaries tell them when to help themselves to Snap's strength-training gear or top-of-the-line cardio machines, which feature televisions and other media diversions. A friendly, unintimidating atmosphere provides a refreshing change of pace from aloof gym employees and ear-splitting pump-up jams. Members also enjoy nationwide access to all Snap Fitness locations, ideal for working out while traveling.
