When the staffers at Desert Sun Tanning Salons say they can fix your problems with a cocktail, they?re not talking about libations. Instead, they?re referring to a method that combines two types of bronzing styles. After lying in a traditional sunbed, patrons pop into an automatic spray-tanning booth. The idea is that the UV rays in the bed trigger melanin production and open the pores so that the spray tan goes on darker and lasts longer. Of course, customers can indulge in either of these options separately, choosing from a fleet of machinery that includes Mystic Tan and VersaSpa sunless tanning booths and silver-, gold-, and platinum-level sunbeds.
They can also undergo a session that doesn?t change the skin?s tone, but, rather, tones it. Red-light therapy drenches the skin in fluorescent light that boosts collagen production in order to firm skin, tighten muscles, and transform sagging bloomers into boxer briefs. Regular salon visitors can consider purchasing a membership, which entitles them to tanning-bed upgrades and discounts on skincare products.
Stress settles deep into the muscles; it becomes back pain, headaches, and eventually full-on spasms. That's why licensed massage therapist Jennifer offers massages with varying degrees of pressure, ranging from relaxing Swedish strokes to firm, deep-tissue kneading. Jennifer also welcomes clients to peruse her line of handcrafted children's blankets, soaps, and candles, ideal to decorate a home or World War III panic room.
The licensed massage therapists at A Doorway to Relief Massage are well versed in the art of pain relief; they know which techniques work best for specific ailments and adjust the massage accordingly. Depending on the client's needs, they may promote relaxation in addition to diminishing aches. During treatments, a male or female practitioner uses Swedish or deep-tissue techniques or simply unleashes a litter of puppies to play on the client's back.
Believing that "well-groomed nails are the classic indication of healthy hands and feet," Blush A Nail Boutique's skilled technicians aim to spread the doctrine of digital health and wellness along with the values of body beautification. They renounce the use of acrylics or harsh chemical treatments, favoring spa services that include natural elements such as silk wraps that promote stronger, healthier nails and help heal cracks or tears caused by hand-modeling shoots that incorporate ticklish chalkboards. They choose from an array of services—waxing, facials, and airbrush tanning—to pamper the whole body from within an immaculate, chic boutique.
Don't be surprised if you walk into Derm F/X Tattoo and find a fellow patron taking a nap on the couch. The shop's regulars are known to come in and hang out, which is perfectly fine with the staff. Derm's three artists—Cody, Scotty, and Chentelle—have spent 10 years making their studio the type of place where clients also feel like friends. It's probably not hard for them to bond with their patrons: approximately 98% of their work is custom tattoos they've created by collaborating with clients. And they're honest—if they feel a guest is asking for art that isn't doable, they're not afraid to say so. Unlike the key to never losing one's keys, Derm's excellent reputation isn't exactly a secret, as they have attracted clients such as Seahawks players Kam Chancellor and Marcus Trufant.
Each of Seattle Sun Tan's 39 locations spans between 2,000 and 4,000 square feet of space dedicated solely to the art of un-sunbathing. Washington-state tanners strut down immaculate hallways dotted with framed original paintings and contemporary artwork before settling into private rooms where they may acquire their desired shade while enjoying the sounds of their own music or prerecorded subliminal messages piped in through the iPod dock perched near each bed. The Smart Tan?certified staff guides clients in selecting which of the five levels of UV bed best fits their tanning needs and whether they desire a short tan time, prefer to stand up or lie down, or wish to bask beneath high-pressure face lamps. Shop shelves offer home tanners quality products from Australian Gold and Swedish Beauty, whereas spray-tanning options from VersaSpa and SunFX both impart a natural-looking faux glow that takes mere minutes to apply and lasts for days.

In the Wake of this whole Cedric Benson episode, one thing has become readily apparant. It is the attitude of Steelers fans. Now over on BTSC they are saying how they shouldn't kick this team when it's down, how they are better than that. But then there are a bunch of them who disregard that "standard", come over here and do just that. They are absolutely classless and have the nerve to think they are above all of that, that the situation warrants it. Well, regardless of what happens with this, I think the Steelers fans will be having plenty of time to learn humility.
The Steelers have had thier fair share of problems this off season to say the least. The QB been suspended for the first quarter or more of the season, and has drawn the ire of nearly all NFL fans and likely a lot of the players too. Holmes has been shipped out. Their stars are fading all across the board. Now, starting RT Willie Colon will be down for the season. If the line becomes an albatross on an already poor offense, then there really isn't much of a foundation left. Now, normally I'm not happy about injuries no matter who they are. I feel for this guy and I wouldn't actually wish injury upon anyone. I've torn my ankle playing absketball and know how much it sucks watching games you wish you could be playing in. But when it comes to the Steelers fan base, I think they are the most arrogant group of fans on the planet. They aren't my most hated group of fans (that would be the Dallas fans who live in Philly who have never even been within 500 miles of the state of Texas. The easiest way to piss 98% of the people in Philly off is to say you're a Dallas fan, which obviously they chose to do through the course of thier life because that is the type of person they are. It's amazing how often that theory holds true and that type of attitude permates through into nearly all topics of conversation), but I don't think another organization deserves to fall and stay down for a long, long time as much as the Steelers do.
Through out the NFL, most fans will recognize that their team sucks when they do. Of course Eagles fans may be a little overreactive in that they sometimes think the team sucks before they actually do, but I've met people who are fans for nearly every team. And if things aren't right, they will tell you. There are those few exceptions with every fan base, and I don't normally fault that. Usually I just have to laugh and let it be. But the Steelers fans seem to breed this type of attitude. Being on the other side of the state, going to school litterally 10 minutes south of the Pa/WV border and 70 miles away from black and piss HQ, I've met a ton of them. And just about every single fan I've met can't admit that they suck even when they are obviously terrible. I just think that they really have to be down and out for a long period of time before they ground themselves a little bit. Then see how they like when fans come on to thier blog with every mistep and tell them how happy they are that the team keeps messing up.
I hope in the end Colon comes back as strong as ever... with a brand new team. I also hope all of these setbacks are the impetus to the wheels coming completely off the bus with that team. I hope the Bengals, Lions and of course the Eagles all win SBs before the Steelers even sniff one again. The Ravens and Bengals are building up young, talented squads (of course there is that MaLoR guy, but he seems more like an exception and the Ravens fans really don't have much negative to say on this site outside of him). And the Browns might actually be not bad in a few years. Anyway, I hold comfort in the fact that all of this could be the begining of a much needed downward spiral.

New York Comic Con stops hijacking attendees' tweets, organizers apologize
New York Comic Con 2013 attendees will no longer automatically generate promotional tweets for the event from their accounts, organizers for the show announced today on Twitter.
Last night, hundreds of attendees to the comic book, gaming, movie and pop culture-focused event realized — almost entirely to their dismay — that they had unwittingly authorized the event to send tweets from whatever Twitter account they had registered with. Those tweets included enthusiastic proclamations like "So much pop culture to digest! Can't. handle. the. awesome. #NYCC," which were posted to attendees' accounts whenever the RFID chips embedded in their NYCC badges were scanned.
Today, NYCC organizers tweeted that the "opt-in feature" would be discontinued.
FYI - do not fret if #NYCC-ID tweeted as you yesterday! We shut this opt-in feature off so it won't happen anymore. Have a blast at NYCC!— New York Comic Con (@NY_Comic_Con) October 11, 2013
In a statement to Polygon, a representative for the event apologized for organizers' "eagerness" in spreading the ghostwritten tweets.
"As you may have seen yesterday, there were some posts to Twitter and Facebook issued by New York Comic Con on behalf of attendees after RFID badges were registered," the representative wrote. "This was an opt-in function after signing in, but we were probably too enthusiastic in our messaging and eagerness to spread the good word about NYCC. We have since shut down this service completely and apologize for any perceived overstep. Please accept our apologies and have an absolutely excellent time this weekend. "

This IDC study provides IDC's top 10 predictions for the security market for 2013. It discusses how the convergence of cloud, mobile, social, and Big Data will force major shifts in security markets and customer behavior.
"As traditional laissez-faire attitudes toward security, risk, and privacy undergo a major reeducation and the threat ecosystem affects every consumer and corporation, 2013 will raise security awareness to new levels of discussion and prioritization. The "new normal" no longer focuses on the fact that everyone has been or will be attacked but on how quickly the attack was detected, analyzed for repercussions, mitigated, fully remediated, and communicated to the community," said Christian A. Christiansen, program vice president, Security Products and Services, at IDC.

Hernando County investigators are especially interested in catching a prolific bank burglar. They say the bandit has hit more banks in their area, than in any other Bay Area county.
The Pasco County Sheriff's Office released a surveillance photo of the thief yesterday. The image shows the burglar inside the Heritage Bank in the 28000 block of State Road 54, around 4 A.M. Monday. Once inside, detectives say the burglar pried open a cabinet but did not take any money.
The Bank of Tampa on Amberly Drive was also hit, shortly before 4:00 A.M. Monday. And on Saturday, December 22, someone shattered a rear entry door to the Bay City Bank on Highway 41, but nothing was reported stolen.
Today, Hernando County investigators say they believe the same burglar has hit in four locations in the county, and two within the jurisdiction of the Brooksville Police Department. They think this could be a sign that the burglar has ties to Hernando County.
Anyone who has any information about the suspect or burglary is asked to contact the Pasco Sheriff's Office Crimes Tip line at 1-800-706-2488. You can also contact the Hernando County Sheriff's Office at 352-754-6830 or Detective Tony Mazza direct at 352-797-3869 or at email@example.com.

By Jim Wallace - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - According to a recent study, a larger percentage of Georgians own and run their own business per population than any other state, largely because of the economy.
Many South Georgians have lost their jobs, and are having to create their own business to make a living.
Dave Sirmans is the owner and operator of Dave's Computer Service. Sirmans will lose his job at Cooper Tire when the plant closes.
"Either you can try to find a job, which there are very few, or you can try to make your own job," Sirmans said.
The Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation studies entrepreneurial activity, and found Georgia has more people like Sirmans than any other state.
On average a recent study found that the national average is 320 of 100 thousand adults created a new business each month in 2008. But Georgia the average is 590 per 100,000 adults, higher than any other state.
Three and a half years ago Sirmans thought Cooper would be closing, so he decided to start building a business of his own.
"But I've always had an interest in P.C.'s, as far as fixing and repairing them. So I decided to turn my hobby into a career," Sirmans said.
The states with the lowest entrepreneurial activity rates were:
"Actually a lot of the people I work with. Some people are trying their own ventures. Or they are teaming up with other people who already have started a job and are working for them."
The Kauffman study says the recession has caused business creation rates to increase, but that the income potential for most "necessity entrepreneurship" had declined.
But they say business creators like Dave Sirmans will contribute to the economic growth, innovation and job creation in the United States.
Business is picking up at Dave's Computer Service. He was named the Chambers' Star Business of the Week, as he grows in his role as a new Georgia entrepreneur.
The Kauffman study found that senior citizens, people age 55 to 64, had the highest new business creation rate in the nation, while immigrants were second.

Email: firstname.lastname@example.com | Twitter: @WWLTV
NEW ORLEANS - The community gets its chance to see the latest plans for the new on-campus Tulane stadium on Wednesday at the first of three scheduled forums.
The school will share plans for traffic and parking management, design, stadium usage and game day operations.
"With the forums, Tulane is already taking a lot of consideration for its neighbors in its design - when you look at the height of the building and what they are doing in terms of the structure and lighting. But we'll continue that process and hopefully it will work out where everyone can be happy," said former Tulane football player James Ordenenaux.
The plans for the stadium have garnered some criticism from nearby residents who are worried about its impact on their neighborhood.
Christy Kane, with Save Our Neighborhood, said that the group is not anti-stadium, but "for smart growth and smart development." However, she said the community should be concerned about:
- "Parking…this is a very huge structure. Keep in mind, it's 30,000 seats with room to grow, which means it's 12,000 seats larger than the New Orleans arena. If you've ever been to an event to the arena, you understand there's an infrastructure that has to be in place in order to support such a venue.
- "We're concerned about the location and the setback. It's approximately 20 feet from residential homes. We don't know of any other residential stadium in the country that has been shoehorned…into a residence and a neighborhood quite like this one has been.
- "We're also concerned about frequency of use. This is not about football. We support Tulane, we support their football program. It's not about six games a year. As they said at the last community meeting, they're going to have to pay for the seats somehow. So, there will be more and more events, I think."
Ordenenaux said there are "well intentioned folks" who have legitimate concerns, and he has sympathy for this group because they are drowned out by a more vocal minority that is "dead-set" against the stadium.
"If you own a lake house, you don't object when your neighbor builds a dock for a ski boat...90 percent of the football-playing universities in America have on campus stadiums - you had one there before," Ordenenaux said.
In May, the New Orleans City Council passed a measure which paves the way for a study to possibly create an interim zoning district that could prohibit construction.
The meeting starts at 6 p.m. in Richardson Memorial Hall on Tulane's campus.

While many hope for world peace, few Americans are in a position to do something about it. Instead of watching helplessly from afar and debating the issues based on secondhand information gleaned from the media, Inbal Naveh '09 decided to capitalize on a generous deferral program offered by Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP. In September 2009, she moved to Israel to help with efforts to build peace and fully engage with the issues on the ground.
Naveh explains, "Peace building in the Middle East has always fascinated me and has been important to me, but it was too emotional." As the daughter of Israeli immigrants, she spent every summer in Israel with her grandfather, an ecologist, and her grandmother, a founder of Israel's Hebrew ulpanim [language schools] for Ethiopian immigrants. However, she never felt fully prepared emotionally to delve into the politics of the region beyond dinner-table conversation. When Weil, Gotshal announced its deferral program, Naveh immediately thought about the possibility of working in Israel and seeking out opportunities to have a direct impact as opposed to more sheltered experiences.
She chose to split her time between the Peres Center for Peace, a nonpartisan, nongovernmental organization founded by Nobel Peace Prize laureate and Israeli President Shimon Peres, and Bialik-Rogozin, a school in South Tel Aviv that caters mostly to the children of foreign workers, representing 48 countries around the world and including many of the Sudanese refugees under the age of 18 who were absorbed by Israel.
The first time Naveh visited the school she knew she had to come back to spend more time with the students there. "Every day at Rogozin is a lesson in humanity and the power of diversity in education," she says. At Rogozin, she helped second- to twelfth-graders with English. One of her most powerful experiences was teaching a fifth-grade boy to read English starting from the letter A. "This is a kid who refused to do his homework, let alone sit down and take exams—he just flat out wouldn't try. But after a few months not only was he reading, he would ask for assignments."
After completing a six-month volunteer stint at the Peres Center and the Rogozin school, Naveh was offered a specially created position with the Peres Center for the next six months before leaving to work with Weil, Gotshal in the firm's Manhattan office. "It was a huge honor," she says. "As project manager in the civil leadership department, I worked on two main projects: the Young Political Leaders fellowship program, which brings together up-and-coming Palestinian and Israeli politicians for workshops, training, and dialogue, and the Peace NGO Forum, an umbrella organization for more than one hundred peace-building Israeli and Palestinian nonprofits."
Living in Israel and working in Ajami, Jaffa and South Tel Aviv, communities where tourists normally don't venture, has offered Naveh a unique perspective on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and domestic politics. She says, "In the states you hear about the conflict all the time—people seem to love to tell me exactly what they think about Israel the minute they hear the origin of my name. There are such strong opinions out there, particularly in the academic realm, and yet some people have never been in the region, never spoken to anyone directly impacted by the conflict, and lack the insight that comes with firsthand experience." One of the most exciting and rewarding things for Naveh has been exactly this: Unlike most people she knows, she has contacts in both Israel and the West Bank. When something pops up on the news, Naveh is proud to say she can pick up the phone to her colleagues in Ramallah and ask them what is really happening on the ground. "Sadly, this kind of access is incredibly unique but at the same time unbelievably important in formulating an educated opinion about the conflict and the complex situation in the region."
Bringing together Palestinian and Israeli politicians has resulted in greater understanding on both sides. The Young Political Leaders fellowship project, which engages Palestinian and Israeli leaders through a yearlong program, asks its participants to make presentations as part of the program. For example, an Ethiopian Jew presented what it means to be in Israel as an Ethiopian Jew. "Many of the Palestinians didn't know of that history or realize what it means for Jews outside of Israel to have a place like Israel to call home and where they can seek asylum."
Naveh and her colleagues work incredibly hard to nurture Israeli-Palestinian relations and it is serious work that at the end of the day is never really finished. Yet this doesn't mean that it's always a high-pressure work environment. In fact, she marvels that no matter how stressful the day, the staff
always takes time to have a full three-course lunch. No one eats at a desk or settles for convenience food. She relates, "Early on, I brought a sandwich for lunch one day and people said to me, 'That's not lunch. That's a snack!' It's amazing that we all sit down at a table and have real meals."

Fort Pierce Central is a different team without all-state running back Marcus Levy, who is yet to return to the field since spraining his ankle in the kickoff classic two weeks ago.
His absence was felt in the 17 minutes, 18 seconds the Cobras played against Palm Bay on Friday before lightning suspended the game. Play will resume at 6 p.m. Monday, picking up right where the teams left off -- the Pirates lead 12-0 with 6:42 left in the first half.
The Cobras lacked any steam on offense Friday, managing just 24 yards, and Levy likely would have made some difference. Levy is just such an explosive player, he adds so much to the game when he is in there. Of course, penalties (seven for 52 yards) and bad snaps still would have happened whether he was on the field or not, but he changes the way the Cobras run their offense for sure. Central will be able to refocus now and hopefully won't come out shooting itself in the foot Monday like it did Friday.
Fans are probably thinking the extra three days could mean Levy returns for the conclusion Monday. Sorry to disappoint, but Levy said shortly before the game Friday that he is maybe a week or two away still, unless the swelling goes down more -- and fast. He hasn't even returned to practice yet. Levy said he hopes to begin running this week.
The Cobras certainly can still win without Levy, but they still miss him.

Right, for the sake of Conrad, David, Sam and Angelo's sanity, I have created this fanpost to talk about 1 thing that has been prevalent throughout every thread on this site for the past few months. It has been the source of much ire to the men of Ohio, but it is a question that must be answered, and answered in internet poll fashion it shall be.
Yes, you know what I'm talking about. Who is hotter, Emma Watson or Mila Kunis? Here are the vital statistics.
Disclaimer: Everything you read below is 100% true and absolutely none of it is a lie so don't even start.
Emma Watson
Height: 1.65m, suck on my metric system America.
Ability to produce mini GodZeller's that will one day play PG for the Cavs, start up front for England and win the Nobel Prize for Physics: 99/100. The parental combination of stunning beauty, intelligence, modesty and grace and Emma Watson is going to be more than enough.
Comparisons: A baby angel plucking a harp, a newborn kitten softly playing with a ball of string, the morning sun bouncing off a freshly mown meadow, the smell of freshly baked bread, the giggle of a new born baby, Tristan Thompson's hook shot….
Predicted # of previous sexual partners: Viktor Krum and Ron Weasley. I like to think of her as unsullied by the hands of mere mortal men however.
FHM Top 100 Sexiest Women rankings: 98th, 33rd, 47th, 29th, 23rd. Most recent ranking - 64th.
Interests & Hobbies: Overcame horrendous racial abuse to become the greatest prospect of the 2007 Hogwarts Draft, House-elf rights activist, has been known to bend time to her will, member of the Slug Club, cofounder of Dumbledore's Army, passed her Apparation test first time and didn't even brag, popped a cap in that hack Rita Skeeters ass for being an Animagus…
... oh and she's pretty good at acting.
Attainability: The epitome of girl next door, Emma went to Brown University.... Cleveland have an NFL team called the Browns.... that tenuous link means everyone in Cleveland has a shot!
Notable FTS Backers: clevyxc, Kyrie From Downtown! , anyone with any form of taste..
Mila Kunis
Height: 1.63m of fiery temptress
Ability to produce mini GodZeller's that will one day play PG for the Cavs, start up front for England and win the Nobel Prize for Physics: 35/100, no offence Mila but you don't see the type to know wither the offside rule or Dirac's equation of quantum relativistic motion. I bet your ball handling is superb though.
Comparisons: The throaty bellow of a Ferrari Testarossa, the feeling you get at the ending of Inception, the twinge in your groin when you watch a ladies tennis match, hitting a half court shot in front of all of your friends, a coke fueled blood orgy spanning 3 days with nothing but your mental spirit to see you through, a Kyrie dagger 3...
Predicted # of previous sexual partners: Well, she had sex with Macauley Culkin so I'd have to guess 110-120 ish..
FHM Top 100 Sexiest Women rankings: 9th. Most recent ranking - 1st.
Interests & Hobbies: Massive fan of World of Warcraft and claims to have 3 separate accounts, was the voice of Meg in Family guy so I'm guessing she's into being bossed around, loves taking cute innocent ballerinas and sending them careering off the rails.
Attainability: Claims to lead a very normal life, yet exclusively dates filmstars and is currently taken. It's not looking good guys.... Ashton Kutcher you handsome bastard.
Notable FTS Backers: Kentaru, OPace, Natalie Portman (she's definitely lurking somewhere...)
From now on, I suggest that all Mila vs Emma debate should go in this thread. I also don't wanna hear you all bleating on about Upton or Johansson or whatever, yes they are hot, but this Kunis vs Watson. The big one.

I would stop in here for liquor, wine, and food stuffs. The beer selection is ok, certainly not worth waiting in line to get into the parking lot (which can run a good bit down the shoulder of Route 17), around holidays or incoming storms.
With other places right of the highway in Ramsey or Mahwah, unless there is no traffic, I would hit someplace else up, unless you were also shopping for food, or wine.

This place is right off of Rt. 17, (East side/north bound),
but more huge selection of wine and mighty fine prices.
A few imports and craft beers, both in coolers
and stocked, but not exciting.
I was shocked and impressed with the level of wine
variety and cheeses.
The staff was fine, offered me assistance but
other customers pointed me to the beer and
also made wine suggestions.
Not exactly a beer snobs paradise, but honestly
would only go back for beer when I was grabbing
some wine for my wife.

I visited this location about a year ago and felt so-so about it then, so I decided to scope it out again this afternoon and see if the selection improved beyond Bud and Bud-clones. My opinion has not changed.
This place is a real stinker for domestic craft beer and quality old world imports. Myopic selection of small brewers, almost all readily available in a local supermarket.
Unless you're shopping for wine, dont waste your time stopping - this place is not worth the aggrevation and danager of getting on and off horrible Route 17.

This is one of my least favorite Bottle King locations in Northern New Jersey. The beer manager knows so little about craft beer that it makes me laugh. I remember when he passed on a 2 cases of Black OPS 08' because it was "too expensive and people would never buy it!" but fortunately the distributor took it to Ramsey Liquors after that and I bought a full case from them!
Standard Belgian imports and US Micros are available along with US macros. You aren't going to find any hidden gems here but you will find enough craft beer to get you by if you don't have a better option.

Quality: It is like a wholesale club for alcohol, so one needs to take that into account when writing a review. It has a lot of value for a place that is offering mostly in bulk.
Service: The staff has always been helpful with questions.
Selection: This is where it gets tough. They have a good mix of commercial stuff and small amount of craft beer. I might count it against them but the fact is it is difficult to offer an expansive selection when you buy in bulk. The value is top notch.
You can really get a good amount of beer for a very cheap rate. They also have some glassware that can be of some use. Great for planning parties and cook outs.

This was my stockup shop when I was attending Ramapo College.
The beer selection isn't necessarily amazing, basically, coolers in the back and a corner with a decent number of cases, with the associated discounts clearly advertised.
In the coolers, selections include:
Sam Smiths
Dogfish Head
Flying Dog
River Horse
Flying Fish
And of couse, BMC and standard imports
The cases:
BMC and standard imports
Flying Fish
River Horse
Flying Dog
...and others
Prices are reasonable, and service is good, although wine-buyers would find more in this store.

Bottle King is a quick stop off Route 17 North, just past the Hess gas station. They have a decent selection that focuses on New Jersey beers, which is cool. River Horse, Ramstein, Flying Fish, along with Brooklyn, Troegs, and Otter Creek cases fill a large section in the back. Here is where you may find some discounts if you join the Bottle King Discount club. Its free and easy. The large coolers on the right keep cold the basics like Sierra, Anchor, Magic Hat and a good mix of micros/imports. There is also a small section of bottles stored upright on shelves next to the spirits section. They have all the Belgium 750mls and some Rouge offerings here. The price is very good for the area, plus their wine and cheese selection is really great to check out. The Bottle King in Ramsey is a very cool chain store I recommend visiting.

This is a large, well lit store, off of Rt 17 N in north NJ, unfortunatly high quality beer is not much more then an after thought. Tons of wine, champagne, booze, and gourmet foods, but the beer selection is pretty pedestrian and I wouldn'd say lame, more like, uninspired and boring. They have a wide variety of very ordinary brews, but they have next to nothing beyond the bare essentials and tons of macro cases and 12ers.I walked every aisle hopping to find that hidden cache of exciting brews, but never found it. I also was never asked if I needed any help, by the staff that was busy restocking the coors light display and wine shelves. I'll hit route 59 liquors behind the Palisades mall next time instead.

You're heading down Rte 17 southbound from the New York line and you hit this hill where, just as you crack the summit, you can get the first view of the Manhattan skyline from out about 25 miles NorthNorthWest of the city. It's good stuff. Yeah, well anyway, that's where Bottle King is (although it's in the Northbound lane so you have to go a little bit and turn around).
Mostly wine and liquor, with beer to the rear.
Decent selection of standard local and regionals (Ramstein, Riverhorse, Weyerbacher, Troegs, Stoudts, Brewery Hill, Brooklyn, Otter Creek, Saranac, Harpoon, Dogfish Head, Allagash, Flying Fish, Magic Hat) and Anchor, Sierra and others.
Some usual suspect Germans (Franziskaner, Weihenstephaner, Schneider) and Belgians (Chouffe, Lindeman's Cuvee Rene) and Unibroue, Sam Smith and more.
They've got a corner with good beer specials (SN Bigfoot '04 for $30 a case) and up front they've got a large area with a very extensive selection of meats, an array of cheeses and chocolates, too. Very nice.

Problems. That's what College of the Canyons wide receiver Mario Wright and defensive back Josh Gibbs present to opponents.
At a party in the Santa Clarita Valley and at a college some 3,000 miles plus away, two discussions mirrored each other.
With the opening kickoff of the college football season on the horizon, many local products are getting ready to hit the gridiron.
The first football game for the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, isn't until Sept. 5, but already 2005 Hart High graduate and senior Rebel wide receiver Ryan Wolfe is raking in honors.
Saugus graduate Nick Delio shot a 2-under 69 Sunday to finish tied for eighth at the Southern California Golf Association Amateur Championship at Wilshire Country Club.
Tiffany Huff's offseason has been about recovery.
On Nov. 7, Michael Herrick will finally realize his dream.
When The Master's College men's basketball team loses players such as Ryan Zamroz, Jeremy Haggerty and Matt Sowa, people take notice.
The College of the Canyons always has high expectations.
The sign on the office door reads: "Cougar Strength, Championships Start Here."
Umpiring has been a passion of Chuck Lyon's since he was in junior high school when he first learned the ins and outs of calling a game.
Back then it was more about finding a way to earn a few extra dollars over the summer, but Lyon has stayed in blue ever since, climbing the ranks from Little League to high school to Community College and all the way through the college levels.
It appears that more awards are in order.
It was almost indescribable.
On Thursday at 8 p.m. in Oklahoma City, Okla., Saugus graduate and University of Arizona sophomore second baseman Victoria Kemp took the field for the Wildcats against the Florida Gators to begin the 2009 Women's College World Series.
There was almost a bitterness in his voice.
Valencia High graduate Madison Shipman may have already begun her professional softball career with the USSSA Pride, but that hasn't stopped others from continuing to award her collegiate excellence.
Valencia graduate Alison Lee helped the United States claim the Curtis Cup victory Sunday, beating Great Britain and Ireland at St. Louis Country Club.

Right handed reliever Chris Bootcheck recalled from AAA. Tommy Murphy sent down in his place.
Our bullpen has been seriously depleted in the last few days after two rookie starters and two veterans who struggled... Romero, Gregg, Carrasco probably can't be used tonight. Donnelly is iffy... Pretty much leaves Shields and K-Rod for us.
I'm guessing Bootcheck won't even be used... looks mainly like it's insurance if we get into pitching trouble tonight. And he'll be back down when Escobar gets reactivated.
At least this gets Murphy off the pine. I was hoping he would play more, but Scoscia has his ways. At least he's getting time in the field at AAA.

MES, WHS earn status as Green Ribbon Schools
Wednesday, September 05, 2012
Munford Elementary and Winterboro High schools are Alabama's first Green Ribbon schools.
TALLADEGA COUNTY — Munford Elementary and Winterboro High schools are Alabama's first Green Ribbon schools.
They are two of 78 schools in the country to earn the United States Department of Education's new Green Ribbon Schools Award. Alabama is now among 29 states and Washington, D.C., that can say they are home to Green Ribbon schools.
MES, WHS and Mill Creek Elementary School in Madison were the only three schools in Alabama to be nominated for the award, which is given to a school that saves energy, reduces costs, features environmentally sustainable learning spaces, protects health, fosters wellness, and offers environmental education to boost academic achievement and community engagement.
"The schools who applied went through a rigorous review process for this award," said Tommy Bice, state superintendent of education. "I am very proud of the teachers, staff, students and parents that applied to be Alabama's first Green Ribbon schools. The enthusiasm, hard work and creativity demonstrated by the three awardees provide an excellent environment for a well-rounded education with an emphasis on addressing the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century."
MES is being recognized as the first school in the Southeast modeled after a forest.
With the Talladega National Forest right next door, the school has caught the attention of the USDE for integrating forestry, conservation and environmental education into its curriculum.
"We were very excited," MES principal Rebecca Robinson said. "We told the children, and the teachers have really worked with them to make sure they know what it means to be green."
Robinson said MES teachers have been reading a book titled "What It Means To Be Green" in their classrooms to implement the significance of going green.
"We want them all to understand the reason why we're getting the award," Robinson said. "We want them to have ownership in their school and realize that they have a special school."
WHS has been recognized by USDE for its use of science, math and technology applications as problem-solving tools for environmental issues, greenhouse related science, and the value of healthier lifestyles.
"The clincher to be seriously considered was the environmental aspect of the education that we're trying to deliver to students through projects," WHS principal Craig Bates said.
He said that through project-based learning, students have learned about their carbon footprints, recycling, and a variety of things that tie into the theme of going green.
Talladega County Schools Superintendent Suzanne Lacey said the nomination came several months ago through the School System's work with the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs.
She said a total of 10 schools were nominated throughout the state before being whittled down to three.
Lacey said she believes the fact that both winners in the state are from the Talladega County School System speaks to the success of its 21st century learning endeavors, especially during these tough economic times of proration.
"I think it just really supports our work with environmental education both at Munford and Winterboro and our work with energy conservation," Lacey said.
"What we've done with project-based learning has really just gone to support our work with students and hands-on studies with students we are able to implement."
Representatives from MES and WHS will attend the Green Ribbon Schools ceremony in Washington, D.C., in June.
The State Department of Education will host a recognition ceremony for the Alabama school nominees at its meeting May 10 and a picnic lunch for up to five representatives from each of the nominated schools.
The schools will also receive Project Wild and Project Wet, curriculum and teaching guides, provided by the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.
The Environmental Education Association of Alabama will also provide the registration of one school to its 2013 conference and membership to the organization.
Green Ribbon flags, sponsored by Legacy, Partners in Environmental Education, will also be presented to each of the three schools.
"Students can truly see the value of what they are studying and learning," Lacey said. "Every year we have provided the craft of teaching and our students have reaped the benefits and that's why we come to school every day."

Find the tree close to the cliff with a key embedded in the trunk near eye level, on the cliffside of the tree. The keyring has broken off of the key (and it is sometimes replaced) so you may need to look hard for it.
Find the tree with the key in it. About 100 yards from Cake Walk, this climb begins before you reach the big elevated dirty ledge where Gaggle of Geese, Old Crow and High Steppin' start.
Can be done with only bolts. If 5.7 is your limit, bring a couple cams for the slightly runout section midway up the climb (it's not that runout, but some will want an extra piece of pro)

When Brock Lesnar made the crossover to MMA, I had been out of pro wrestling fandom for a few years. Mixed martial arts captivated my teenage thirst for realistic combat that pro wrestling could no longer quench. One of my favorite fighters as I grew more in tune with the sport was Chuck Liddell or, "The Iceman." Liddell was a brutal knockout artist who could put your lights out with nearly any punch or kick he threw.
Unfortunately, those were all highlights by the time I learned about MMA. Liddell had become a fighter without a chin, likely the most tragic thing in the sport. Chuck had been 1-3 in his last four fights when I started watching, with him having been knocked out cold by Rashad Evans and Quinton Jackson and having gone to war against Wanderlei Silva and Keith Jardine. This didn't fare well for Liddell's chin and he was again knocked out by Mauricio Rua. Needless to say, the jury was out for the former UFC light heavyweight champion.
However, UFC president Dana White was always close pals with Chuck and gave him one last fight against a personal foe in Tito Ortiz. Liddell vs. Ortiz had been a rivalry that helped MMA reach the pinnacle it has reached today. The story goes that Liddell and Ortiz were acquaintances and training partners. Ortiz was leading a reign of terror over the 205-pound division and Liddell was going to help him with his striking while Ortiz would help with grappling. Liddell allegedly would bust Tito up on the feet so badly that Tito would be knocked down and refuse to get up. These tensions came to fruition when Ortiz seemingly ducked a fight with Liddell, claiming that their "friendship" wasn't worth the money that was being thrown at them to fight (NOTE: MMA still had not hit their stride in popularity. This was before The Ultimate Fighter had been created and the sport had just come off being outlawed).
Eventually, Liddell got to fight Ortiz and finished him with punches in the second round. Liddell went on to capture the championship and ended up fighting Ortiz two years later. Although Ortiz's boxing had sharply improved, Liddell still finished Tito with punches in the third round.
Ortiz's career became as much of a joke as Liddell's in the aftermath of this fight. Including his loss to Liddell, Tito went 0-3-1 in his next four fights before being matched up with Liddell once again. Tito would come with a plethora of excuses in case of a loss, including coming into a fight with a "cracked skull."
The duo were slated to coach The Ultimate Fighter's 11th season. The season proved to be arduous to watch. Liddell's knockout losses and rock star lifestyle had been racking up and Chuck's speech was often slurred and littered with plenty of incoherent thoughts. Tito was never a book-smart guy and presented his normal meathead persona, all the while displaying thin skin for anything Liddell had to say to him.
To end this rather sad story in the MMA world, Ortiz had to pull out with a back injury that had been nagging him for the majority of his career. Liddell was matched up against replacement Rich Franklin and subsequently was disconnected from his senses by a Franklin right hand, albeit after turning in a better than average performance. Ortiz still fights today, but is facing his retirement coming up after a slew of bad performances. Liddell was forced into retirement and now holds a role in the UFC's front office.
Anyone drawing some parallels here? Follow me after the jump to hear about a similar tale in the pro wrestling world.
This past week on RAW, Triple H came out to cut a promo on The Undertaker confronting him for a Wrestlemania rematch before Hunter could fire our favorite Executive Vice President of Talent Relations and Interim Raw General Manager, John Laurinaitis. This segment lasted twenty minutes and ended with a pretty eerie and nicely presented video package of Undertaker sitting in a dark room and pining for a rematch with Triple H. This video package was pretty effective and capped off the promo well.
Unfortunately, it wasn't as effective or enjoyable when they showed it later in the night to recap what happened.
Undertaker and Triple H have taken a high card slot on two WrestleManias before. This isn't surprising, given Triple H liking to cash in his son-in-law card with Vince McMahon to get high-level booking and attention. On what is likely still the best WrestleMania of all-time in WrestleMania 17, HHH and 'Taker delivered what many fans consider the weakest link on the card.
However, the rematch went down at last year's WrestleMania 27 and delivered a classic match. Both men sold and took bumps like it was their swan song in the business. Of course, Undertaker extended the streak to 19-0 with his Hell's Gate submission (gogoplata in MMA, yet another similarity). Undertaker was taken off on a stretcher and most were legitimately questioning if he was injured. Triple H walked out under his own power.
Not unlike the Liddell vs. Ortiz rivalry, the first two matches were accepted by the fans and things were hunky dory. However, with the build up to the third match slowly starting, I cannot help but draw so many parallels to the aforementioned MMA rivalry.
Both men cannot accept the fading of the spotlight on their generation of wrestlers from the 90s and their lack of relevance to today's storylines. Just like both fighters, fans will pop loudly because of the legacy both men have in the ring. In reality, the men risk ruining their legacies this way, just as the fighters did by taking fights past their primes. Triple H is slowly ascending to Hulk Hogan levels of booking abuse, while still trying to wrestle and maintain a front office position like Liddell did recently in trying to campaign for a final fight for Ortiz's retirement match. Undertaker returns once or twice a year as both of these fighters did to take a match and still manages to look broken down.
Even in terms of injuries, the similarities are striking. Triple H's quadriceps mimics the back problems that would plague Ortiz. While Triple H's quads would blow out during high spots, Ortiz's back severely affected his bread and butter in the double-leg takedown. Liddell and Undertaker have both greatly slowed with age and their quality of performance has diminished with each outing.
And not unlike season 11 of The Ultimate Fighter, we could have a lackluster build up into something tragic. While the UFC's show was predictable and sad to watch, the WWE is using the the same script with minimal tweaks for this year's rematch. Undertaker comes out, points to the sign, and poses. Triple H rejects this time around, but will be goaded into a rematch. That said, the tragedy that could infest WrestleMania lies in HHH's booking power. With Undertaker being exposed at last year's WrestleMania, this could be the opportune time for Hunter to book himself to end the historic streak, thus ending one of the most sacred WrestleMania traditions.
In all, this storyline has all the makings to be as melancholy as the Liddell vs. Ortiz rivalry. The bittersweet thing that could come from this is a classic match that puts the bookend on legendary careers for both. Whether this feud that will seemingly close both mens in-ring careers will leave us high and dry like its MMA counterpart remains to be seen, but all signs are pointing to a pretty sour ending that will validate one man's front office career and end another WWE tradition.

Finally, we are days away from the kick off the the 2013 regular season, and I for one am very excited, as well as hopeful even with still arguably nearly as many questions now as there where throughout the better part of the off season. It seems everyone again has their own set of predictions again this year and no matter how far they were off last year. (And of course, we the fans should just accept their projections even though all of these guys were way off last year and have no intention whatsoever of putting out there how accurate or inaccurate they were last year, let alone years before that-so why should we even listen to these self proclaimed "experts)." Well, in spite of there still being clearly questions about this 2013 version of the Minnesota Vikings, I believe they will have a very solid year. Now, before I begin; I had my own 'biased' prediction of the Vikings and Adrian Peterson. Now, I felt before the 2012 regular season began that Minnesota would win double digit games and Adrian Peterson would have the best year of his professional career as a Vikings up to last season's point and his second best overall of his entire career when all is said and done, as I thought then and still do now; that this year-2013-will be AD's best year of his career. On top of that I still do think we will see Peterson more and more involved in the passing game, with this season as well being his best statistical performance up to this point and 2014 and 2015; being his best years as far as putting up receiving yards. Time will tell, maybe I will be wrong, or maybe I will be right again.
Now, for this year, as far as the overall team; I believe Minnesota will finish the regular season at 11-5, win at least one play off game and if the the second play off game is played at home in the Metrodome; it will be at least two games. And if it does indeed play out like at-wow-look out, because this will be a dangerous team that could turn the NFC post season upside down. We all will see soon enough though.
So, how could one be so optimistic again about the Vikes? How could everyone else not? There are still two major questions about this team, and they are the quarterback and the offensive coordinator. That does bother me, as it should most Vikings' fans, but in my humble opinion; this team is so loaded from top to bottom; they can compensate as we have all seen them do last year in more than a few games last season. Now, I am expecting improvement from Christian Ponder this year as there was improvement from him last year. The question is how much? And I have heard so much pessimism from so many, but just look at the numbers; Ponder has already proven himself to be at least a # 2-back up quarterback in the NFL and yeah it's not as good as an obvious #1, but that is still nothing to turn your head up to. He has had a lot of help from his team in many situations, he has also been harmed in his growth by poor receivers, poor offensive line play and terrible play calls at vital times without being given the authority or trust to audible out of numerous and obvious bad play calls his entire tenure as the starting Minnesota Vikings' quarterback except once that I have seen. (And by the way, I hope I am wrong about him not being allowed to audible more than once, but don't think so). We also have a big question mark over the head of our offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave. Now, to his credit, as many of his supporters will point out; he has designed some very good plays. That is true and I agree he has at least had his hand in some great ideas, as far as play designs, but the timing of when a lot of these plays are called with the overall amount of predictability and lack of even slight in game adjustments are unacceptable. This season Musgrave must show as much improvement as most are looking from in Ponder, if not more-much more. Though, history will tell us that we are more likely to see more of the same from what we all saw in 2012, with very slight improvement. Though, I do expect to see a little more than that, and not just based on time going by, bringing forth more continuity, chemistry and trust; it's the obvious fact of having more viable options at the wide receiver positions this year that will help out every other position on the offense and in turn helping out the defense as a whole as well. With the addition of Patterson, Jennings, the maturation of Wright and the position change of Webb to a more natural fit and hopefully a better performance by a healthier Simpson as well. Throw that in with a strong tight end group that was solid last year and should be better this year with an also healthier Carlson and additions of hybrid personnel that also adds to the blocking schemes in Line with the maturation of Ellison. This team has the ability to mask a lot of the deficiencies in the passing game and the obvious number one factor is Adrian Peterson, but there are elite players spread all over this team and this team is built and being built for the long term.
So, what needs to happen? Well, this year, we've already jumped in with both feet and even with all the question marks of if Ponder falters, and yes if he is benched, it will not be for more than the rest of a game; Cassle is not a viable option at #2. But this team will be fine with the current line up that is in place. It is my opinion that the Vikings will start off slow, but steady and really turn it on by mid season and down the stretch as these players are building trust and chemistry with each other. And that is one of the main reasons(the other being Adrian Peterson), why this team will be a dangerous one to meet at the end of the season and in the play offs.
I've said it before and I'll say it again; it's a great me to be a Minnesota Vikings' fan. We all can say this and say that, but we will have to sit back and watch as anything can happen any given Sunday, as we as Vikings' fans know more than virtually any other fan. What's most interesting about this team to me is the identity it will find for itself along the way as this team evolves, and I believe by season's end, even if it were to end in a long shot Super Bowl, which I do not think is as far fetched as everyone else, there will be major changes to this team for the better that will have the biggest influence we have seen in years. I believe Ponder will do moderately better, but in spite of whether he does or not; Rick Spielman will surprise everyone as he is good at and draft a quarterback with an early draft pick and quite possibly a first round pick. I think Ponder will still remain on the team and be asked to battle it out with the newcomer and as the inevitable happens, whether in 2014 or 2015; Christian Ponder will become our back up quarterback and arguably the best #2 in the league. I also do not believe that will be the end of his career as a starter, as some take longer to bloom, but this team must protect it's short and long term future as a consistent contender, not anymore of this once or twice every decade contender. Matt Cassle will be released along with Bill Musgrave. Now, whether Musgrave stay on as a consultant/play designer Idk, but might be a good idea. I do not believe the offense needs to be completely overhauled, but it needs some serious "tweeking" to say the least.
When the Vikings finish the 2013 season as a play off team again, then pick up a few more solid pieces such as a legitimate nose tackle, a linebacker to study under Chad Greenway for a couple years, another pass rushing defensive end, a hands down legitimate offensive guard and an apparent, capable and talented quarterback; all in the football world will take notice and be forced to acknowledge the building of this powerhouse is to say the least 'for real.'

Meanwhile, the center was at the center of controversy in 1988 when it was reported that judges who referred clients to the center were no longer doing it because of problems the judges were experiencing. Turnover was high, the center was losing money and staff members who had left the center expressed concerns about its future.
There were people at the time who told me they objected to coverage of the center, and that the coverage itself could lead to the closure of the center and loss of jobs in Logansport and outlying counties. But the state again intervened, and former State Mental Health Commissioner Josef Reum personally came to Logansport to meet with center officials and discuss its future.
Within a few years, the center was accredited for the first time. The Emotional Care Center across the drive from the center at Logansport Memorial Hospital closed and the center, under the leadership of Marjorie Hosier of Winamac, moved forward into a new era.
These stories are interesting in the 21st century because neither probably would have been published had it not been for the people involved who asked questions, who wondered what should be happening and who alerted people who could address problems, the stories might not have been told and the outcomes in both cases might have been starkly different. As newsrooms around the country are pared down because of industry changes, citizen journalists and just average citizens in general can play a critical role in ensuring that journalism in a free society is relevant and effective.
It's alarming to note that the size of government has grown dramatically since 1960, but the size of newspaper newsrooms has shrunk, even as ownerships have aligned to cut costs and share tasks to deliver quality products.
To that end, everyone is truly a reporter, whether they submit a video of a burning warehouse or plane crash or whether they supply a tip that a board is meeting secretly or that an administrator has just cleaned out a desk.
The public, as has long been said before I was around and will be said after I'm gone, has a right to know. That's a right we all have to think about a little differently in a 21st century world with the Internet, blogs, Web sites and a 24-hour news cycle.

Shawnee's Commitment To Shelter
Thursday, July 11, 2008 (Shawnee on Delaware, Pennsylvania) — The Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort is the first property in the Poconos to make a commitment to support Women's Resources' "Shelter for Shelter" initiative of their "Campaign for Safehaven".
Women's Resources, a community-based, non-profit, crisis-counseling center that serves adult and child victims of domestic violence and sexual assault, set an overall goal on behalf of the Campaign for Safehaven to raise one million dollars in order to refurbish its administration building and shelter. At present, the association has raised $700,000 and is currently campaigning to realize its goal.
If the total funds are raised, the renovations will affectively double the organization's capacity to service individuals in distress. In 2007, they provided shelter for 169 adults and children totaling 2977 nights and counseling services for a total of 3559 hours. Due to the lack of shelter and counseling space currently available, last year Women's Resources was forced to turn away 101 adult and child victims of violence.
Shelter for Shelter is the branch of Campaign for Safehaven aimed at recruiting Monroe County's businesses to aide in achieving Women's Resources' goal. On August 2nd, companies, that have made a commitment to support Shelter for Shelter, will donate one percent of their gross profit for that day. In addition, between the dates of July 15th and August 15th Women's Resources will be selling "dove" cards for a one to five dollar donation, allowing guests of the community to be apart of this very important campaign.
The Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort is happy to continue to uphold its commitment to community service and is proud to support Women's Resources in this righteous campaign. The "dove" cards will be available for purchase at Shawnee between the dates of July 15th and August 15th. In addition, Women's Resources is still looking for sponsors to help reach their goal.
For more information or to schedule an interview with Shawnee's management; please contact Jeromy Wo, Public Relations Coordinator at: (570) 424-4050 ext. 1409 or visit ShawneeInn.com.

Treatment of Manic Attacks
I just got out of 48 hours in a psych ward and the doctor put me on a drug called lamictal and I also take Effexor I have taken it for a long time. But it does not seem to work anymore. This last manic attack was very bad. My attacks can turn violent.I would like any feed back from NetWellens.
Lamictal is an effective treatment for bipolar disorder. It can help particularly with the depressed phase of the illness. Since Effexor is not as helpful as it once was, Lamictal is a treatment that might help by lowering the dose or replacing Effexor. This would be something to discuss with your physician to establish a short and long term treatment plan. Other treatments are also available.
