4 N. Blount St., Suite 200, Raleigh, NC 27601
Our Staff
Where I grew up: Fayetteville, NC
Motivation for working with ALS: I have always enjoyed helping others and my position with The ALS Association allows me to make a difference every day. This is by far the most rewarding work I have ever done.
Hobbies: Spending time with my family (wife Becky, daughters Samantha and Savannah) and friends, live music, travel, playing guitar, bad golf and grilling out.
Suzanne Gilroy, Director of Care Services
Where I grew up: Raleigh, NC
Motivation for working with ALS: I have wanted to be a helping professional for as long as I can remember. As a member of the award-winning Jim "Catfish" Hunter Chapter of The ALS Association, I am provided a wonderful opportunity to serve those who are experiencing a time of great need. I am humbled that People with ALS and their families allow me to be a part of their life journey.
Hobbies: Reading, traveling, spending time with friends and family, playing with my three dogs (Nugget, Tobey and Journey) and three cats (Stella, bandit and Chloe). I also love to sing and do that as often as possible.
Lisa Hoskins, Care Services Social Work Manager
Where I grew up: Shelby, NC
Motivation for working with ALS: My parents were helping professionals, my father a sociologist and my mother a nurse, so not surprisingly I chose medical social work! I have always been passionate about advocating for the needs of others. I have both my Bachelor and Master of Social Work. The ALS network is a rich community and I feel fortunate to be a part of it.
Hobbies: Staying active, trying new things and spending time with my husband and two daughters. In my spare time I read, travel and watch science fiction. I have been a scuba diver since 2005 - it's always an adventure and you never know what you're going to encounter!
Lynn Sanderson, Care Services Social Work Manager
Where I grew up: Stamford, CT
Motivation for working with ALS: Social Workers are generalists, meaning that we can work in
a variety of fields. Working as a
Medical Social Worker first opened up my initial experiences with patients with
a diagnosis of ALS. I was the Social
Services Director at sub-acute and skilled nursing facilities in Pensacola,
Florida. It was in these facilities that
I met 3 people with a diagnosis of ALS.
A patient's wife gave me a piece of paper with the information available
on ALS and it wasn't even a ½ page long. I have been motivated to help people
with ALS and their families ever since.
Hobbies: What I enjoy the most is being with my grandchildren and
family. I enjoy football, reading, dogs,
music and standing with my feet in the water at the beach at sunrise or sunset
with my husband.
Claudia Winkler, Programs Manager
Where I grew up: Linden, NJ
Motivation for working with ALS: It is a wonderful feeling to know that every day I come to work I am in some way making a difference in the life of someone that needs help and support.
Hobbies: Reading, movies, music and spending time with my family and friends!
Jackie Suarez, Director of Development
Where I grew up: Toledo, OH
Motivation for working with ALS: The motivation for working for ALS can be found in my desire to put the patient and their families first in everything I do. I want to use my skills in a way that contributes to the fight to defeat ALS.
Hobbies: Cooking, writing, playing with my dog Lucca and travelling.
Kara Strang, Senior Development Coordinator
Where I grew up: Poughkeepsie, NY
Motivation for working with ALS: I believe that it is the duty of every human being to be aware of his or her fellow man and to live each day with compassion, joy and the will to help others. I feel extremely fortunate to be a member of the Jim "Catfish" Hunter Chapter of The ALS Association and be able to work every day to help find a cure for such a terrible and draining disease.
Hobbies: Reading, swimming, hiking, traveling, cheering (loudly) for my teams and cooking.
Megan Johnson, Senior Development Coordinator
Where I grew up: Wilmington, NC
Motivation for working with ALS: Having watched ALS rob my grandmother of her independence, I knew I wanted to do something to raise awareness of ALS. After a 4 year battle with the disease, my grandmother decided she was done fighting. I promised her I would keep fighting in her memory. Every day I continue that promise, she serves as an inspiration as do all of the amazing people I meet in this job!
Hobbies: Cooking, reading, playing with my dog, laughing with my friends, random road trips and live comedy shows.
Laura Cowan, Senior Development Coordinator
Where I grew up: Fayetteville, NC
Motivation for working with ALS: I have always been involved in different non-profit organizations and I have become very passionate about working for a cause. I am not a doctor or a nurse, but I believe we can all use our talents and skills in a way that can help others and benefit those in need. The ALS Association is the perfect opportunity for me to fundraise and plan events for an organization that helps those affected by ALS while searching for a cure. My goal is to raise awareness for this terrible disease in hopes that we can live in a world without ALS one day!
Hobbies: Going to the beach with friends and family, cooking (mostly baking), I Love Lucy re-runs and Wolfpack football.
Beth Hawes, Development Coordinator
Where I grew up: Winston-Salem, NC
Motivation for working with ALS: During much of my time in the corporate world, I was lucky enough to work on cause-related campaigns, including fundraising and awareness campaigns for many military and healthcare nonprofits. I knew for a long time that I wanted to find a permanent home in the nonprofit world, but was looking for the right opportunity. I feel blessed to have found that perfect fit at the ALS Association!
Hobbies: Hiking, listening to live music, playing games with friends and hanging out with my German Shepherd-Husky mix, McCants.
Tonya Salmon, Data and Special Projects Coordinator
Where I grew up: Annadale, VA
Motivation for working with ALS: I really working with organizations that help the lives of others!
Hobbies: Running, traveling, and spending time with my family.
Where I grew up: Chapel Hill, NC
Motivation for working with ALS: I really enjoy people. I spent 5+ years working and playing with the Carolina Rollergirls (also a not-for-profit) and I realized I would appreciate working in the not-for-profit sector not just in a volunteer capacity. I think I am naturally a caregiver and am pleased that I have found a way to utilize my skills to contribute to a better good on a daily basis.
Hobbies: I enjoy playing roller derby, hula hopping, playing the ukulele, singing and dancing. I also enjoy playing outside with my husband. 2 small dogs and 7 chickens and working in our garden.

Serge Ibaka for Men's Journal #2
Oklahoma City, OK (2012)
Late last year I went down to Oklahoma City to photograph NBA player Serge Ibaka for a profile that Men's journal was running on him. It was a tough shoot, with really limited time and even more limited locations, but I had an awesome friend helping me out and we managed to pull it off. The issue is out on newsstands now and the Serge's story is definitely worth a read.
Also, I will be sending out a massive newsletter tomorrow. Sign up here if you want in.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (AP) -- The call will go from "all aboard" to "bottoms up" at Johnson City's historic Carolina, Clinchfield and Ohio Railway terminal.
The Johnson City Press reported the city Development Authority voted Thursday to sell the building to Sevierville entrepreneur Joe Baker, who plans to open a brewery and restaurant there.
The purchase price was $5,000. The development authority bought the circa 1930 terminal in 2010 for $150,000 with the hope of turning it into a tax-revenue producing downtown business.
Baker, who owns the successful Ole Smoky Distillery in Gatlinburg, said he hopes the brewery will be a catalyst for other downtown development in Johnson City. He expects tax revenue to more than justify the city's investment in the terminal.

Consumer Action - National Consumer Law Center - Public Citizen
Consumers Support Action on Climate Change
As organizations with a mission to protect household consumers, we understand the imperative of taking aggressive action on climate change, as many of our most vulnerable constituents are exposed to damages from increased frequency and severity of storms, flooding and other global warming impacts. We also believe that measures to address climate change must include strong protections to ensure struggling households are able to maintain access to essential energy.
The proposed rule to limit greenhouse gas emissions from existing power plants – taken together with similar regulations for not-yet-built power plants, as well as fully-implemented emissions standards for automobiles" – represent a desperately needed effort that begins to address greenhouse gas emissions from the energy sector.
Programs to avert catastrophic climate change must ensure that households have access to affordable, reliable and sustainable energy. While we will need time to digest the details of the proposed rule, we are pleased that it provides ample opportunities for states to design energy efficiency, distributed renewable energy programs and other broad-based initiatives that can be implemented with maximum benefits for consumers. We urge the Environmental Protection Agency to work with states and stakeholders to promote processes and programs that will reduce the threat of climate change while delivering value and savings to consumers, and ensuring that service and affordability is safeguarded for low-income consumers.
With appropriate implementation, this rule can enhance consumer well-being, both by contributing to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, but also delivering savings to consumers.
See statements from Public Citizen experts on the EPA's proposed rule.
Read an additional statement from Public Citizen President Robert Weissman on the proposed rule.

Together, two separate corporate entities called Public Citizen, Inc. and Public Citizen Foundation, Inc., form Public Citizen. Both entities are part of the same overall organization, and this Web site refers to the two organizations collectively as Public Citizen.
Although the work of the two components overlaps, some activities are done by one component and not the other. The primary distinction is with respect to lobbying activity. Public Citizen, Inc., an IRS § 501(c)(4) entity, lobbies Congress to advance Public Citizen's mission of protecting public health and safety, advancing government transparency, and urging corporate accountability. Public Citizen Foundation, however, is an IRS § 501(c)(3) organization. Accordingly, its ability to engage in lobbying is limited by federal law, but it may receive donations that are tax-deductible by the contributor. Public Citizen Inc. does most of the lobbying activity discussed on the Public Citizen Web site. Public Citizen Foundation performs most of the litigation and education activities discussed on the Web site.
You may make a contribution to Public Citizen, Inc., Public Citizen Foundation, or both. Contributions to both organizations are used to support our public interest work. However, each Public Citizen component will use only the funds contributed directly to it to carry out the activities it conducts as part of Public Citizen's mission. Only gifts to the Foundation are tax-deductible. Individuals who want to join Public Citizen should make a contribution to Public Citizen, Inc., which will not be tax deductible.

Doug Morris' net worth nearly doubles that of Jay-Z. So who are the real owners of hip-hop?"Despite the perception that Black entrepreneurs like P. Diddy, Russell Simmons, Jay-Z, Cash Money [or Young Money] are moguls, they are, in actuality, the children of their respective parent companies. P. Diddy's Bad Boy Records is owned by Warner Music Group; Suge Knight's Death Row by Interscope is owned by Universal Music Group; Def Jam is also owned by Universal… What's worse is that, despite popular perception, there are no Blacks -none -in top executive positions of the parent companies. What the parent companies, as well as the Black moguls, would like us to believe is that "the R.O.C. is runnin' this rap shit." This why Jay-Z is touted as the 'C.E.O of Hip-Hop.' "

How do you grocery shop?
- The Dairy Queen Aug 22, 2009 10:02 AM
Okay, I know this sounds like a crazy question as I've been grocery shopping my entire adult life, but how do you grocery shop efficiently, yet take advantage of specials and what looks best?
For instance, this morning I went to the grocery store with an idea of what I wanted to make for dinner. I checked my pantry before I left the house and made up a shopping list. When I got to the grocery store, I felt like I wanted to change up my whole plan to accommodate some great-looking seafood that was on sale and some summer fruits that looked better than I expected them to. But, it took me forever to get out of the grocery store, because I was no longer shopping from my list, and I was scrambling to remember some recipes that would work and trying to remember what I did or didn't have at home that would work with my new menu plan.
Inevitably, whenever I try to be flexible or spontaneous, I forget or duplicate something, and sure enough, on this trip I had to make a second stop on my way home to pick up something I suddenly remembered I'd forgotten.
I'm sure there's a better way to do this. How do you do it?
Thanks in advance for your ideas.
I look at what I have at home and want to use up, then I make a list of things I will need to complete the meals. I bring a pen and cross off items on my list, and if I happen to have a different-colored pen I will circle things I wasn't able to buy so I can stop somewhere else on the way home. I'm lucky in that I have two huge supermarkets, a bakery and a small health food store within walking distance of my house.
At the grocery store, I get all my produce first, then get bread, then I only go down the middle aisles if there's something on my list down that aisle. I haven't been down the chips and pop aisle in months. Finally, I stop at the fridge to pick up dairy and the freezer if I need frozen vegetables.
However, all that goes out the window when I go (the Real Canadian) Superstore, as I can never find anything, have to go up and down all the aisles three times, and then impulse buy like crazy while I wait in the queue for forty minutes to pay.
I always have a grocery list going, adding to it whenever something runs low or out, and try to plan meals around the weekly flyer to take advantage of sales or specials. Whatever looks appealing on the flyer that I wan to cook gets added to the list as well as anything else I need for the next few days. (I do grocery shopping every two to four days). I almost always stick to my list, and since most of my shopping is only on the perimeter - produce, dairy, meats and cheeses, it's easy to get in and out quickly. If it's not on the list it normally doesn't go in the basket. I'm so obsessive about sticking to my list that it's a joke in our household! But it makes for extremely efficient and fast shopping.
Except, as you point out there are times when you see something for a main dish you hadn't planned and it's too good a buy to pass by. My meals are flexible enough that I would either substitute or just make the tantalizing purchase and reshuffle the rest of the meal planning. Meal planning on the fly for one meal isn't too difficult, but it can be hard to recall details of a complex recipe so if something is too good to pass by I'll plan on a simple prep and save the complex prep for another time even if it means not getting the same great deal. But, that's why the weekly flyer is so useful for me in planning trips to the market. In fact I keep the flyer at home until the next one comes out.
And just before I leave I do a visual check to see if there's anything else I need and to refresh my memory of what's there: Soy sauce? check. Flour - only a quarter cup left, buy more. Vinegar? check. How many eggs remain" Oops, need more. But really, keeping a list going and keeping a barely stocked pantry is a good strategy for me. Nothing gets shoved to the back, nothing gets overlooked, and we buy only what we need short-term and we consume what we buy. Finally, once I get home I transfer to a new list anything I decided not to get that trip for next time and keep the list handy to add to it whenever I use something up or need something I haven't got.
Bottom line I try to be flexible to take advantage of the advertised specials in the flyer, but once in the store I prefer to stick to my list and avoid ad hoc purchases.
Make a shopping list and STICK TO IT!
If you see things that "look good" or on terrific special, grab them. But don't waste time running around trying to get all the other recipe items that you think might be needed for the new stuff. This is 21st century America -- you don't have to drive half an hour or go actually milk the cow. You can get extra recipe ingredients..........on your next trip. Or have your SO or yourself pick up additional goodies on the way home from work.
I look in the pantry and see what we don't have... and I look at the grocery store flyer to see if there's any great specials to be had - that way if they have spareribs on sale I already know that we need some bbq sauce to go with them etc. When I run out of something during the week I write it onto the grocery list right then because otherwise it'll be forgotten for sure!
4-6 different grocery stores a week; produce at one, dariy & meats at another, pantry staples at another and so forth. Coupons don't always work for me (I don't buy alot of canned, prepacked food) but weekly specials are always worth a trip.
Like you, I create a shopping list beforehand but I do check it against the circulars that come in the mail and adjust my meal planning if need be before I leave to shop. Mostly, I meal plan while shopping to take full advantage of specials and seasonal produce.
Also, I stopped buying herbs/spices, baking supplies and beauty products at grocery stores; I have specific online wholesalers I use for those items.
4-6 grocery stores a week; roughly 150-200 bucks spent for a family of six and about 2 hours of total shopping time spread over the course of a week. Works for me!
re: mrbigshotno.1
So dude- where do you shop?
Seriously. I have a 6 month old and a nearly 2 year old. I keep a list on my fridge, and whenever I empty something, it goes on the list. I frequent a couple of different stores, and hit them up on different days, and in general I know what they have at good prices. If I see something fantastic, I buy it, and then figure out how to cook it with the staples I keep on hand.
I tried meal planning, I didn't last the week. :)
Great post Queen! And very timely as I am trying to mend my ways. In fact this is mosty why I get so annoyed when I shop at Trader Joe's. I see wonderful items, and then I have to rethink my meal planning and usually there is just way too much going on there for me to think at all at my TJ's. Right now is the easiest time of year for me in Penna because I love fresh corn on the cob and plenty of it for dinner every single night if I can manage it. I don't need much else to go with it. I hit the store about every three days in the summer, and I go to the farm stands every other day. During the colder weather I make one or two big trips to the store a week, and plan quite a bit more. Thanks again for posting this, can't wait to see if other hounds have some ideas on how to do a better job.
Thank you everyone for the terrific replies!
I do try to maintain a list (it's on the outside of the fridge) during the week as we use stuff up, but my husband cooks as often as I do and it's inevitable, no matter how disciplined we try to be, that one of us will be in a hurry, use something up, and forget to write it down, so I always do a quick pantry check before I leave.
Sometimes, I find myself driving past the grocery store on the way to somewhere else and use that opportunity to pop in and buy things I know we need (we always seem to be out of milk...) and perishables or staples that we use with enough frequency that we "might" need it, and if we don't, we will soon. Usually, I'll call my husband and say, "I'm at the grocery store for milk, what else do we need?"
The biggest revelation (to me) in this thread is how many of you consult the ad fliers in advance of shopping! Many moons ago, I used to clip coupons and I would look at the fliers as part of that. But, when I gave up coupon shopping (most of the coupons are for junk anyway), I also gave up looking at the fliers. But, as a result of this thread, I've checked the websites of all of the grocery stores and co-ops I visit frequently and lo and behold, they all post their sale fliers online. Even my fishmonger does! So, I think I'm going to start incorporating the"check the websites" step into my shopping and meal planning routine.
In fact, it seems like such a logical and simple thing to do, that I'm a little embarrassed that I haven't been doing that all along! It makes complete sense to plan your meal around what's on special (and what's in my CSA box, of course. Always a slave to what's in the CSA box!)
And, of course, if I plan around the fliers, then I can really "stick to the shopping list" as many of the rest of you suggest.
Thank you everyone!
re: The Dairy Queen
Checking the sale flyers is the number one step... that way you know whether or not to bother to go to that particular store this week, or whether it would be better to shop elsewhere. We go to three different grocery stores depending on what we need most that week. eg. Publix is good but a bit pricy but they sell the kitty litter and cheap catfood and yummy yoghurt and a few other goodies that we try to keep on hand... Albertsons has much cheaper meat but their pet supplies are through-the-roof expensive so you'd be nuts to buy them there... and so on.
re: Kajikit
Oh goodness, I certainly can't be organized enough to let the sale flyers drive whether I'm going to shop somewhere on any particular day. I shop at whichever store I happen to be driving past (and this gives me about 3-4 different good options)...
Also, I'm in awe of all of you who can do your shopping for the whole week. I end up making 3-4 trips a week, for this or that or whatever.
Oh boy, jfood is going to get some heat for this one.
He created a shopping list in Word that follows the aisles of his grocer. The list is all of the items the jfoods normally buy and then several blank lines to fill in.
For example, his store has the produce at the entrance, so the first column starts with tomatoes, lettuce...and the some blank lines for say artichokes. Then immediately below this list of veggies is the oils, tuna, sauces, and on and on all the way to ice cream and eggs at the far end of the store.
Jfood has many copies in the house and if someone wants something they check the item and then before jfood goes to the store, he fills in the rest. When he gets to the store he has his grocery store Mapquest.
If he sees something on sale that he wants, he may grab it or he may place a little check mark next to it for the next day or two.
re: jfood
No heat...just major envy at your level of organization!
I did fairly well when I subscribed to the Grocery Game, but I gave it up once my linen closet was well stocked with TP, PT, shampoo, toothpaste, etc (non-food items are about the only things I use coupons for). Now, I play by those rules on my own, but it sure was nice to have someone else tell me the best times to buy stuff and what coupon to use with said stuff. I do still check all the flyers for the produce and meat sales, though. Metro-Phoenix has one of the most competitive grocery markets in the US, so I save a ton shopping the ads alone.
re: meatn3
It's a service that you can subscribe to that tells you the best time to use particular coupons and when to stock up on items at the lowest prices. They track pricing trends so they can tell you when a sale is really a good deal so you can stock up. The idea is to stock up on the loss leaders. If you Google it, you'll find it. They have a free 4-week trial. Save up coupons prior to signing up though - you'll make much better use of your free trial. I also found a site that does something similar for free (pinchingyourpennies.com), but it doesn't really track pricing trends, so it's not quite as useful to me (because I'm lazy when it comes to coupon clipping and planning!). Anyways, there are only 2 of us, and with my job demanding more of my time, I just don't have the energy to shop on that kind of schedule. Plus, I'm still stocked on non-food items, so finding the sales on meat and produce is relatively easy.
re: meatn3
You're welcome!
re: jfood
"He created a shopping list in Word that follows the aisles of his grocer. The list is all of the items the jfoods normally buy and then several blank lines to fill in."
I have a similar list, but it's a pad that I bought called "All out of..." Once they are used up, I will probably make my own as you have done. We check things off as they are used up.
We make a menu for the week on my menu chalkboard that my F-I-L made for me. We have a little list on the side of it where we try to keep track of entrees in the freezer...stews, sauces, meats. I check the flyer on-line (only one as we do the majority of shopping at one store because we are on foot). Make a list based on the menu and whatever staples we need. We usually stick to the list unless there is something in the meat section bargain bin that can go in the freezer for later.
Some weeks we stray from the menu or move it around, but it's nice to know we have all we need for a week's meals without wasted extra store trips.
re: jfood
Same here - my mother taught me long ago her method of keeping a running grocery list and writing things down based on the location of where things were in a supermarket, and I just note it down on a scratch pad of paper in the manner in which I'm going to shop the store - produce first, dairy last. Produce gets the upper left, dairy gets the bottom right. Paper goods are somewhere around the middle on the right (with cat food just below that above the dairy), canned goods and pasta are on the middle-left. Meats and "special items" (BOGOF I want to note) are written down the middle.
Finally, I put an asterisk next to any item I know I have a coupon for, whether it's Listerine, toothpaste, dry cat food, or butter. That way I know I have to find that coupon and bring it with me to the store.
re: LindaWhit
I do the same thing, LW: write grocery list on scratch paper, but group like items together based on store department or aisle.
re: jfood
I like the checklist idea - like a catalog order! I usually use Excel with columns for aisle, item, and notes. That way, I can sort it by aisle (e.g., baking, bulk, produce, meat, dairy, frozen...) once I've entered my items, and it's easier to keep track as I'm walking through the store.
re: jfood
Glad to know that I am not the only anal one here. I make a list and it is in the order of the aisles in the store I frequent most. Although we live in southern CT, I do most of the marketing in northern Mass. I make a list every Monday evening. I drive to Mass. early Tuesday. I stop at 7am on the way to my first appointment and pick up a circular (the supermarket does not maintain a website-BOO). I go over the circular and add to my list.
I email my wiofe with the specials and ask if she wants any. On Wed and Thursday, My Wife and daughter email requests.
Every Thursday on the way back home I stop and do the shopping according to the list. I don't impulse shop. If it's not on the list I don't buy it.
This time of year, my wife buys the frozen and Milk locally. Once we get to winter, I buy it all in Mass., except for fresh bakery items bought on the day we wish to consume them.
I spend 4 straight days in CT and then 3 in Mass. Shopping long distance seems odd, but we save about 35-40% on the same name brand goods. Fairfield County, CT is way too overpricedm and the selection is limited by the high cost of vreal estate.
We're only 2 here and shop according to our weekly menus but they are very flexible. If you've read any of my COTM reports you will have seen that I substitute like crazy while basically staying as close as possible to the original recipe. We shop on Wednesdays and Saturdays at local farm stands, a local Italian salumaria, TJ's and 1 supermarket ... with a list... which is more a guide than must have list. When we're close to the end of a pantry ingredient it goes on the list with a star to denote a necessary item.
Here's the line-up of menues per day:
Macaroni Monday, COTM Soup Tuesday (except during the summer when it's just COTM), COTM Wednesday, Left-overs Thursday, COTM Vegetarian Friday, COTM Seafood Saturday, COTM Sunday Roast...except this summer it's been another seafood day due to the CSF weekly share.
Crazy, isn't it?? But it gives us a huge variety of very interesting and healthy meals. Guess you can tell we're both retired.... LOL
re: Kajikit
Rain checks are a paper receipt that the grocery store provides customers when they advertise a product special @ a sale price but run out of that product before the sale date ends. If the store doesn't substitute that item w/another brand at the sale price or better you can request a rain check for that item, including the maximum limit of that offer.
The customer service attendant can offer greater explanation right at their customer station.
re: HillJ
I don't usually bother for the buck or two (or less) savings involved, but when it's a compact staple that keeps indefinitely and the savings is significant, sure. My local supermarket recently had a sale on my favorite Italian canned tuna (Pastene), $2 a can instead of the usual $3. I probably would have bought a half-dozen cans if they had it in stock, but when they didn't and I asked for a rain check the clerk asked me how many I wanted, and after thinking about it for a minute I said 50. (Why not, the stuff keeps for years, and hey, that's 50 bucks saved!) When I went in a couple of weeks later to redeem it the rain check got passed from clerk to grocery manager to store manager for approval, but in the end they honored it.
i rarely have a menu in mind when i shop.
and if i do have a menu, i think of it as a suggestion, open to change when i get there
I tend to buy things I find that are interesting and on sale and then figure out what to do with the interesting items later on based on what I already have available. However, I'm not one of those people who goes down every aisle just to see if it has something of interest. I keep a mental list generally of what I need and am looking to eat that week and will look into sales within those aisles.
I always like to make a set protein list, I know i want salmon and Salad. Then when you're there you pick the produce. Saves a lot of time.
Every Sunday we make a list of meals for the week and subsequently a grocery shopping list. If there is something on sale that we use often, we'll stock up. We're pretty good about sticking to the list. We are however fortunate that we both drive past a grocery store on the way home so if we did forget something or decide to change what's for dinner, it's not a huge inconvenience.
We just started making a weekly meal list and I have to say I love it. It takes us a few hours to do Sunday morning, but all the stress of what to make for the next week is gone and we don't end up just going out to eat because we don't have anything to make for dinner! We both get home late so not having to think about what's for dinner is nice.
I write up a general weekly menu on things I'm going to make (based on what I see on tv, inspirations, cravings and what I've got from ingredients like a specific vegetable or meat)
I write my shopping list based on the ingredients I'm going to need for all these recipes in the week and I go shopping. If I see something on sale then I pick it up anyway because I can fit it in somewhere.
I'm single, live alone, so I generally shop and cook for one. I have to balance budget, diet, and minimize waste, so I tend to plan ahead and rarely deviate from the menu for the week. Right now I'm doing my weekly big shopping trip on Wednesdays since my CSA pick up day is Wednesday and I want to have shopping and CSA in sync. My CSA farmer posts a list of what in the box on her blog every Tuesday. I look at the CSA list and the grocery ad online to plan meals for the week, then make a grocery list based on that. I actually draw a table each week, with columns for lunch and dinner and rows for each day. I fill in what I'm going to cook each night and what I'll pack for lunch each day (usually leftovers). If I know I'll be pressed for time one evening then I'll plan to cook extra a day or two before to have enough leftovers. I keep the meal plan and grocery list one the same sheet, so if I do see a great unadvertised deal I can adjust accordingly.
i dont have buy too many veggies or fruit because of the csa for the summer. About once every other month i do a big shopping that is mostly non perishables- sparkling water, paper goods, seasonings. then i stop as needed, often daily for meat of fish to go with a meal. We normally have people over Sat nights, so I will do a small shopping sat to get things I need for that meal plus other items I may need for the week, milk etc.
I do most of the grocery shopping for the house. Special occasions and dinner parties aside, I tend to shop pretty much daily for fresh items and staple replenishment. It's easy for me since I'm in a city and there's a supermarket next door to the gym I walk to most days after work, as well as a great bakery along the way.
I keep a notepad on the fridge and have the family trained that if they write something on the pad I will buy it in the next day or so. I use the pad myself - when I use the last of an item (or see that it's getting low) I'll add it. I then take the day's list with me to the store, get everything on it, and also buy anything that looks particularly good for dinner that day, fruit for the fruit bowl, as well as any special treat that catches my eye.
Once every few weeks I take the car to the market and stock up on large and/or heavy non-perishable items (bulk packs of paper goods, cans, bottles, and such.)
I do a little of everything (except for coupons for the most part.... there are a couple of things like sunny delight though that I keep an eyeball out for), check flyers, and keep a close eye on the clearance bin.
I keep a running list of what we need, and I always keep extra staples on hand (I'm never without a couple of kinds of pasta, rice, oatmeal, canned tomatoes of whatever variety was on sale, my 50 condiments lol, etc....), so that no matter what, I have some sort of meal ready to go (for instance the other night I was at a loss, so I made my mom's carbonara out of ingredients I always keep on hand: pasta, tomato paste, parmasan, egg, milk, pesto, and bacon). If it's not terribly perishable, I buy it in bulk (a habit I picked up from my grandma, who was a little girl during the depression)
I work next to a grocery store which usually has good stuff in the mark-down bins, IF I hit them up on lunch (by the time I'm off at 7, they've been picked over). I know how to use almost any sort of meat, and am decent at cooking by the seat of my pants, so I usually plan dinner about, oh, 3 or 4 hours in advance when I grab the main component. Perishables are purchased daily or every 3rd day on average, because it's no biggie for me to walk all of 50 feet to get that squash I just decided would go great with dinner tonight :D
Between the buying of non-perishables at winco (a local costco-like chain, only with no membership, and an AWWWWSOME bulk-bin section. Elliot [DH] thinks it's funny how excited I get over that bulk section lol, but hey, they have things like freaking bacon salt by the pound, how can I NOT love it?) and daily shopping for clearance perishables, I think we do well.
Before I bought my first restaurant, I'd go shopping nearly every day I planned a meal at home - this was in NYC and although I wasn't married yet I often had guests over to eat.
Then I moved to "the country" -- central Connecticut. I was amazed at how *large* the supermarkets were, compared to the cramped little places I used to shop in NYC.
Nowadays, I just buy stuff if I'm making a meal that my staff and I will enjoy -- and I enjoy shopping for it. I've never used a list, really, I just walk up and down the aisles and get an idea what I'm going to do.
My late father used to *love* grocery shopping. It was the best thing on earth to him to find a super-special... and he'd stock up. When I moved mom out of their house and into a retirement complex, she and I gave away boxes and boxes of canned goods, cereals, etc. that dad had bought on sale but that we just didn't have the room for! (There were, literally, over 200 cans of tuna fish alone!)
I'm with those here who *always* start with the sales flyer, first, plus a few coupons. I don't get to use many coupons, because I mostly buy meats, produce, grains and breads, and most of the coupons I encounter generally seem to be for processed food, of which I don't buy too much.
Over the long-term, following the sales flyers doesn't really restrict me too often in making what I'd like to make. I.e., if I get a whim one morning to make something specific, chances are I stocked up on it when it was on sale and therefore it's in my freezer or pantry. It takes a while to get things that way, if one hasn't shopped the sales before, but I've been doing this for a long time and I usually have on hand at least *one* package of what I want.
I do stick mostly to the perimeter of the store, with occasional forays into the aisles with coffee beans, cereal, rice/pasta, etc.
Being on a restricted income, we tend to stick pretty much to the list. Not slavishly, of course.
I look out for, say, fruit that looks particularly good (as we're always going to eat fruit); special offers on things we usually regularly (tinned items, toilet paper and the like); meat that's on offer because it's nearing its "sell by" date and can go in the freezer. Other than that - the list is the list!
I have fallen into the same problem of seeing something that looks fabulous that throws off my whole shopping scheme. It used to send me into a bit of a tizzy. Now I decide to do one of two things. Either (1) forget about those fabulous-looking veal shanks (or whatever) because I just don't have the time or energy to regroup, or (2) go to one of the areas in my Wegmans that have seating - the coffee shop area or cafe or the magazine section - sit down with my list and my iPhone (to look up a recipe online), and take the time to adjust my list. My general rule of thumb is, if I think I may need an item, I just buy it. In contrast to what someone else said, I do have to drive a half hour to get to the grocery store, and I don't have the time or inclination to make an unplanned trip. So I would rather have the duplicate of something than not have it at all. I'll just try to plan to use it up in the future. It usually takes me about five minutes to write down my list adjustments, then I can go back to shopping with a clear mind about what I need and don't need.
I don't do a traditional grocery shopping anymore. I buy grains mostly at specialty stores, fruits & veggies at the farmers market, toiletries and cleaning products at Target, and everything else via the internet. I really only use my local supermarket for dairy products or if I need something in an emergency.
I shop often, but the store is less than 10 minute walk away. In the summer I plan around CSA produce, and in the winter I try to go through the freezers (1 quart mole - need chicken, tortillas, etc). I stock up at ethnic groceries infrequently with a list that I always deviate from (what are sweet potato threads, I must have mustard oil). Try to always have dried pasta, canned tomatoes, and canned tuna. Mini grocery down the block helps for the flakey and lazy moments.
Shopping list? We don't need no stinking shopping list! Actually I pretty much know what we need "up here" (tapping the old melon). DW, OTOH, will make a list, but we wait until the end of the store before we check it to see if we (o.k., I) forgot anything. I'd say that 90% of the time I have everything on the list...and lots of things that aren't.
If I go to the store alone I don't use coupons. I can't figure out DW's filing system. When we go together, or she goes alone she will use them.
Like others, I have perused the weekly flyer ahead of time, so I pretty much know what is on sale that I need/want.
I know what you mean, sometimes I just need to buy milk and end up with a bunch of stuff even though my fridge is already full of crap I need to finish.
But it got better once I started buying things with my money, I am very attached to them.
I usually do have a rough list. I have different categories and then there's a quota for each of them. And then I'll splurge on one item that's a bit more expensive.
But I still go a bit overboard when I do see a sale =/.
I don't really shop with a particular dish in mind...I am REALLY bad at thinking ahead...
When I'm being efficient I check the circular from my market which comes in the local paper. I can see what is being discounted for the week, or what is being featured. But often I just wing it, and if I like something I buy it. I can usually figure out how to cook it if I get it home.
How do I grocery shop? Very inefficiently! I forget my coupons, my paper bags, and I sometimes forget to buy everything I really need. Occasionally, I take a list and that is helpful. Like others, my list has items grouped together based on location in the store. I like to go up and down all of the aisles, but I go quickly.
My strategy involves one big delivery a month (it's like having 'the supply ship' sail into port) and specialty sorties to a few stores in between.
I order online for pantry staples and heavy stuff like beverages, and paper goods. The prices are pretty good - there's where I concentrate most 'savings attempts.' Sometimes I'll get milk and eggs here though more likely a trip a week to a local health food store or Whole Foods just for that and maybe one or two other items that they have that we like. There's a World Market almost next door, and they have the least expensive Lavazza espresso around, so I'll stock up there on 4-5 cans at a time, and pick up any whole spices we need.
We don't cook a lot of meals that aren't quick and individual, and when we do something more planned it's usually worth a trip to the convenient, slightly higher-end local grocer for meats etc. as more of a special occasion than a daily deal. Here I'll also pick up some fresh salad veggies and herbs (if not exorbitant), a baguette or such, some thin-sliced specialty hot salami from the deli, etc.
Whenever I expect to be doing a lot of salads or veggies in a given week or so, or whenever I just happen to be in the area and am so inclined, I love to stop in at 99 Ranch, an Asian-oriented cornucopia of stuff from lots and lots and lots of cheap fresh fruits and veggies (fresh water chestnuts! fresh bamboo shoots!) to meats it's hard to find elsewhere (chicken feet for stock! scary sea creatures of indeterminate species!) (OK, I don't really buy the sea creatures).
One thing that's been really helpful is to learn and keep in mind what things have some longevity. I've mostly weaned myself away from buying things outside of salad fixings and basics that I don't actually plan on a certain date to make (unless I'm near a 99 Ranch, then I stock up and make an effort to cook all the interesting things). So I've found it's reasonable to buy things like potatoes, onions, shallots, garlic, bananas, oranges, limes, ginger, carrots, eggs, cheeses, smoked salmon, sour cream, etc., to have on hand ... keeping any expiration labels in mind ... because they're not going to go off in a mere few days. (You know, the kind of thing one was probably apt to learn 100-150 years ago as a child, because you had a root cellar, etc.)
I buy that kind of stuff via our monthly delivery or for some things where I'm pickier (like with smoked salmon brands), on one of the higher-end market trips. Or if I ever have occasion to go to Trader Joe's. They have a few things we love, but the store doesn't make it into our regular shopping rotation.
I'm not a big fan of frozen, and have stopped buying most frozen things and for the most part canned. I do keep some special-project ingredients in the freezer, like bones and chicken feet for homemade stock. And Trader Joe's has a good mushroom risotto, so that stays in there.
I'm a lot less organised than most of you, I have to say! Mr GG and myself have a very chaotic and random work schedule, so that doesn't help.
I get a box of organic vegetables and some organic milk delivered every Friday and once I've unpacked it I will get a vague idea of what meals I want to cook. I will also think ahead to how often we're going to be home in the evening, when I need to take lunch and dinners to work etc. I will then pick up meat from the butchers, and every couple of weeks I will go to a small supermarket to pick up basics like tinned tomatoes, loo roll, cat food, flour, deli meats etc. Sometimes there will be a list, but mostly not. Everything else gets picked up as we need it from the local deli, fishmonger and outdoor market. I can find everything within ten minutes walk from our house - there's even an Asian supermarket.
So a bit chaotic, but works for us.

My first night of sleep was a success with my bunkmate, "Fish" (Drake Soccer Player Megan Fisher). I felt as if the boat just rocked me to sleep. We both awoke at about 7 am and got to experience the sunrise a bit. The meal bell rang at about 8am and we grabbed some grub. After breakfast we met in our watches and got to speak with our watch leader. My watch got the lovely watch leader named John, who also happened to be the co-mate. My watch (on duty crew) had the first watch. Edward and I headed to the bow (front) of the boat. Our duty was to watch out for coral heads as well as other boats or items in the water.
Amanda (our Watch Leader, part of the ship's crew) came up to Edward and I and told us we were to climb out on the bow sprit to stuff the outer jib sail. While we were standing there stuffing the sail, a dolphin began to swim underneath us. To experience this on our first day sailing was truly amazing. Edward and I were stoked, I think more me than him. Although I wasn't able to capture the moment in a photo or on film, it was one of the coolest thing to see on our first official day of sailing.
Edward and I rotated to the helm and did a couple boat checks. When are watch was over, it was noon, we grabbed some more grub and then set off in the dingy. I was on the first dingy over to Allen's Cay (pronounced key) and when it was in sight we all were in shock. Iguanas were everywhere. I had never seen them before but seeing close to 100 was just nuts. We tried to lay down our towels but it was pretty pointless because the fact that they just crawled all over it.
Once everyone arrived, Moonster (Sarah) and I took off for a swim; we went to the other side of the cove and found conch shells on conch shells. A bunch of us found a coconut and Jake broke it open and we were all able to drink some of it. Moonster and I then set off with my goggles and were able to see a dip in the sand and even found a sand dollar. She was nice enough to go to the bottom and grab it, even though it only lasted about 5 minutes of holding. Captain was snorkeling and happened to find a giant hermit crab.
Allen's Cay and sailing was a great way to see the wildlife we sure don't see in Iowa. Who can say that they see that much stuff in just a short day trip in the Bahamas? I never thought I was going to be able to cross so much off my bucket list, in just a few short hours. This is only the start of our adventure on the boat; I can't wait to see what adventures lie ahead :)
So ridiculously and insanely full of joy, inspiration, praise for classmates, and thankfulness. Love you guys, thanks for a great class. #leadatsea
Inspiring words from classmate, Katherine Clark.
**The blog is back in business, we hope to catch you up on many stories, writings and multimedia from our excursion!**
As I look back on this trip and our time in Nassau and aboard the Liberty Clipper I hardly know where to begin in explaining what this trip has meant to me. I couldn't imagine going on this trip with a better group of people. Unlike other classes I have been in, I think we all share many common traits with each other and this was evident throughout our time together. We are all outgoing, ambitious, caring, and focused on becoming better leaders and better individuals. This was an adjustment for me when normally I tend to take on the role of the leader and I often have a hard time taking a backseat behind others and being the follower. In our case there was no evident leader of the pack the majority of the time and we all had to adjust and learn to work together with all of our strong personalities.
I am so thankful for everyone on this trip for many reasons. For having the patience when I often did not have patience. For showing kindness and forgiveness when we might have said things that we didn't mean. For including others and making them feel like they were an important part of the group so that no one was left behind. I am so proud of all of us and I can already feel a deep bond that has formed between us.
Another lesson that I plan on taking with me from this trip is that you always need to keep in mind the role that you play in any given situation. I think it's easy to get involved from a superficial standpoint and to count yourself as someone who was present in a given situation but often we get so caught up in the team aspect that we don't ask ourselves, "what role am I to play in this situation?" or "What will my contribution be?" because that is the first thing you need to figure out before you can be effective. It's also the only way you'll ever know if you're heading in the right direction, if your conduct is in check, and whether or not you are a benefit to those around you. Know your role.
I want to thank everyone again for this amazing experience. It was absolutely wonderful, amazing, and I gained so much more than I initially thought I would or could have ever imagined. When Jacqueline asked me if I could some up this trip in one word what would that word be, I instantly thought, blessed. I feel so blessed and so fortunate for having the chance to be a part of this.

Personal Running Reflection
—by Sarah Mooney
**Attention, this is the last blog post until Jan 26th, see Cam's post below**
When I attended the first meeting for this course, it was mentioned that we would be volunteering for the Bahamas Marathon. It soon became an option for us as students to race the marathon, half marathon, or form a relay team. I always thought that people who raced such extremely long distances were out of their minds. However, the next thing I knew, I registered myself for the half marathon. I've been really good about running throughout my junior year and knew that I could plan out times to train and hopefully be ready for the race. Plus, experiencing my first half marathon in the Bahamas was an added bonus.
Getting up at 5:15 this morning for my 6AM race wasn't exactly the way I wanted to spend my lat morning in Nassau, but by the end of the race, I was glad that we started that early to avoid the heat. Megan, Avolyn, and I all hung out together at the start line, trying to calm each others' nerves and get excited for the next 13.1 miles.
My favorite part of the race was all of the encouragement. People I didn't even know were cheering me on and shouting out encouraging words as I ran by. The water stations were great, and I loved seeing my other classmates there. They all freaked out and had so much energy and excitement for us Drake runners that passed by. My halfway mark was the first exchange for the relay and Luke had finished a while before me. He waited around to encourage the group of us who were running the half marathon. It was the six-mile mark and just about the time where I was starting to wear down a little bit. When he saw me, he ran along side me and gave me encouragement to keep running this race for myself but remember that God's got me and He will carry me through the end of this race as long as I'm running to Him.
About two miles out, I caught up with Megan and Michael and we got to finish the race together. Since I was understandably exhausted, I was glad to have these two friends supporting me and keeping me motivated all the way to the finish line. Megan and I finished 4th and 6th respectively in our age group, which was fantastic and totally unexpected. Finishing right on the beach was a great view, plus being able to lie down in the sand and relax was exactly what I needed after running for two hours.
This marathon was an experience that I will never experience again. To run 13.1 miles in the Bahamas with a group of my classmates was truly once in a lifetime, and I am so happy that I made the decision to register so many months ago and took advantage of this opportunity.

To all those have followed thus far, we appreciate your interest and support for our class! Now we have reached the point where our class will board the 125-ft large schooner, "Liberty Clipper" for a 6 day sail across the Atlantic as we learn the importance of leadership, teamwork and seamanship. Along with our 24 members, The Liberty Clipper features a 9-man crew including two captains, a first mate and chef.
We students have been dispersed into four different watch groups, our watches will learn the way of the seas and sail throughout the Atlantic as we will be considered crew on this ship. Our captain has a navigation route which will include visiting the outer islands of the Bahamas. Since there is no set agenda, everyone is very excited yet very interested and curious to see how we will be able to sail this ship and where it will take us!!
The trip has been amazing thus far, this group has bonded closer and closer each and every day. We have expanded our knowledge on leadership as we've learned to identify and apply Situational Leadership. This sailing experience will now test our levels of teamwork and companionship! Once we've learned our ways, the watches will be performing sails and will be using communication and collaboration to perform tasks efficiently.
Unfortunately, the boat and any island we visit will not have wireless Internet so again, I really appreciate your interest in our class and our blog. The blog will still continue to update but not until after January 26th when we return back to Des Moines.
Thank you again, our Lead at Sea class is inspired and ready to take on this task! Come Sail Away!!
-Cameron Good
Michael Sage won 1st place in the Bahamas Half Marathon (20-24 age group) with a 1:38:51 time. The Lead at Sea class is very proud of his achievement and representation of this class and Drake University!! Despite gaining first place, Sage showed his humility as he sat along the finish line cheering EVERY person who crossed. Michael is just one Pexample of the strong leadership and teamwork values we've learned here so.

Here is one of the water stations in which we volunteered for the Bahamas Marathon. As I mentioned earlier, the shifts started at 4:30am EST and despite the early time period, we all showed great enthusiasm as we passed out water to all the runners. Drake University was definitely well-represented during this event!
(From left to right - Michael Terrell, Edward Wurster, Avolyn Fisher, Devin van Hoesteijn, Sarah Mooney, Megan Fisher and Michael Sage)
Here are our Drake students who ran and FINISHED the Bahama half-marathon!! Wow, what an achievement! Runners started at 6:00am EST as other Drake students served as volunteers at water stations, who reported to duty at 4:30am EST this morning!! We all stood out as we created a positive energy for all the runners. "The most beautiful run I've ever completed" said Michael Sage who stood on top of the podium as he won 1st place in the age 20-24 division of the half marathon. I'll post a picture later of him with his medal. Go Drake!!

2013 Unsigned Only Music Competition Announces Judges, Mentors
The Unsigned Only Music Competition today announced its judging panel for the 2013 competition, which is now accepting entries. The panel of judges consists of the top echelon of recording artists and music journalists, representing the ten categories of popular music covered by the competition.
Founders/Directors Candace Avery and Jim Morgan noted, "We are gearing up for another great year of Unsigned Only with even more judges, bigger cash prizes, and another great opportunity to bridge the gap between unsigned artists and the music industry executives who could potentially influence and elevate their careers."
Designed for solo artists, bands, and singers who are not signed to a major label record company, Unsigned Only's goal is to find an outstanding, talented performing artist: a band, singer, or solo artist...a newcomer or veteran...raw or polished – the "gem" that needs to be discovered. Unsigned Only is looking for the total package. The Grand Prize Winner will be awarded $10,000 in cash (plus additional prizes) and one-on-one mentoring by an elite group of record company executives. First Place and Second Place winners will also be selected in each category. Entries are being accepted now until March 14, 2013. Categories include: AAA (Adult Album Alternative), AC (Adult Contemporary), Christian Music, Country, Folk/Singer-Songwriter, R&B/Hip-Hop, Rock, Pop/Top 40, Teen, and Vocal Performance.
Launched in 2011 by the founders of the International Songwriting Competition (ISC), Unsigned Only is a fresh and novel approach to other music competitions. Not only does it offer great prizes, recognition, exposure, and the chance to be heard by a group of judges consisting of high-profile recording artists and industry professionals, but it also takes it a step further and offers the Grand Prize winner the unprecedented opportunity to be mentored by a group of record company presidents, A&R reps, and more. This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance for an artist to directly network with the highest level of record company professionals and get guidance, advice, feedback, and networking opportunities.
2012 Grand Prize winner Lara Johnston states, "being the Grand Prize winner of Unsigned Only has been a definite high point of my career thus far. The mentoring opportunities provided by Unsigned Only are nothing short of incredible: I've had in-depth conversations and meetings with the uppermost gatekeepers and leaders of the music industry. Since winning Unsigned Only, I've garnered invaluable advice from a rich variety of perspectives, and I've had the chance to start relationships with people who can truly help me in my career. I'm excited to see where this all takes me and I would urge any aspiring artist to enter this year's competition – you never know, you might be the next Grand Prize winner!"
The judging panel is comprised of an impressive group of recording artists and top-level music journalists. They include: Chrissie Hynde (The Pretenders); Cyndi Lauper; Iggy Pop; Carly Simon; John Oates (Hall & Oates); Eve; 3 Doors Down; Neon Trees; Brandi Carlile; Hunter Hayes; Manchester Orchestra; Black Francis (The Pixies); Ryan Bingham; Faith Evans; David Crowder; Craig Morgan; RoBert Smith (The Cure); Darryl McDaniels (Run DMC); Of Monsters and Men; Wynonna; Aaron Shust; Kirko Bangz; G. Love; Jason Gray; Dustin Lynch; The Mountain Goats; Anthony DeCurtis (Contributing Editor, Rolling Stone); Josh Jackson (Co-Founder and Editor-In-Chief, Paste Magazine); Vanessa Satten (Editor-In-Chief, XXL Magazine); Christopher Weingarten (Senior Editor, Spin); and Chris Richards (Pop Music Critic, The Washington Post).

Comments about TravelPro Maxlite 2 29 in. Expandable Spinner:
This is my second purchase from Hayneedle. The first was a cherry bookcase with glass doors. It was for a very special birthday gift and I had been searching everywhere for the perfect one. When it came it was exactly what I had hoped for. This time I needed luggage and didn't think to look on Hayneedle. I purchased a set from [@] only to discover two of the items I ordered were discontinued. I was very disappointed. When I began my search elsewhere I was overjoyed to see that Hayneedle had the exact same items I was missing, for a better price and free shipping. I just received them a couple of days ago and can't wait to use them for our much anticipated trip to New York in December. I will not make the same mistake and look first on Hayneedle for all my future purchases. They have so many items in stock, one is sure to fine what they need. Thanks Hayneedle for making life a little more simpler.

safesexbottom gave this placeRecent Visit to Midtowne Spa DenverThe club is clean. Great Welcoming Staff. Prices are very reasonable and not confusing like other places with all types of different price add-ons. You either pay for a room or a locker and an annual membership fee of $4.00 and that's it. I visited on a Friday night and found out that I happen to go during one of their very popular Mask Parties. I actually had to wait for a room for about 20 minutes. It was literally sold out of rooms that night. The club was packed during this event. Take my advice guys, this club is the place to be during their mask party. I was sore for the rest of the weekend. Keep up the great work guys. I look forward to my next visit. I may have to schedule it around your next party.

davedude7 gave this placeSex club atmosphereI've been coming here for years when I am in Denver for work. Always a pleasant staff. Always clean, older facility but still fun. I went to the Mask Party and it was the most fun I've had in a long time. Maybe ever in a bathhouse. It was the busiest I've ever seen it. They give you a mask if you don't have your own. The sexual intensity in the basement was almost unbelievable. Everyone was playing with everyone. It's interesting how not being able to see faces lets everyone's inhibitions go. The group room was packed the entire time I was there. I felt like I was in a Roman orgy. Hands coming from everywhere all over me the entire time. Had a feel like the some of the naked parties I've been to in Europe but with the added anonymity. Definitely works.
