A full service tanning salon with UV tanning, spray tanning, with redlight therapy sauna sessions, and site-specific body wraps that tighten, tone and firm, TanExpress Naperville helps transform and energize tired bodies through the catalyzing effect of far-infrared heat waves. By raising the temperature surrounding the body, sauna sessions help burn calories, spark metabolism, and sweat out toxins through the pores. TanExpress Naperville also darkens delicate skin tones with speedy and modern tanning services, available ? la carte or through monthly packages.
In the early days of running her tanning-bed business in Champaign, Illinois, Kristin Klinker became intrigued with advancements in sunless tanning. She soon began focusing her endeavors on high-end spray tanning, eventually expanding her enterprise into Naperville and going into business with her best friend and mother, Terri. At BodiBronze Sunless Spa, Kristin and her cohort of certified technicians coat clients in a sugar-based DHA solution that adheres to amino acids on the skin, creating a natural bronze that lacks the telltale orange color of old-school spray tans. Within the warm, goldenrod-hued walls of the Naperville studio, these certified tanning technicians help each client match their skin tone to a product, culminating in a bronzed, UV-free complexion that lasts up to 10 days
Inside Ultimate Exposure Tanning Centers' Chicagoland locations, a full lineup of UV- and spray-tanning equipment infuse skin with a healthy summer glow year-round. Individual sessions in the automated spray-tanning booths?such as VersaSpa?or UV beds gild bodysuits for nights on the town, and unlimited monthly packages fashion a continuous golden hue previously only available to sunbathing satellites. The salon stocks a variety of tan-accelerating lotions from Swedish Beauty, Australian Gold, and Designer Skin, which deepen bronze hues and moisturize skin to fashion a long-lasting radiance.
Fox Valley Tanning & Massage does its best to leave nothing to chance. When lamps in a fleet of UV beds reach 60% of their lifespan, staffers swap them out?ensuring no tanning session will leave guests in the dark. They have also corralled a VersaPro spray tan booth, a VersaSpa booth, and Mystic HD technology, which prevent streaking, prep the skin for better color, and provide refuge for out-of-work Super Soakers. In addition to bronzing patrons, the staff soothes internal woes with five massage modalities and Formostar infrared body wraps.
Beyond Bronzed first started as a mobile service with a small clientele before its technicians graduated to a brick-and-mortar shop. Today they draw on 10 years of experience while spray tanning, using certified organic solutions that brim with natural anti-aging components. The technicians apply these concoctions by hand to avoid the unsightly streaks that often occur when they are applied by soulless robots.
Since opening in the early 1990s with just four stores, L.A. Tan has expanded into a national brand that counts more than 180 locations in six states. Members can tan at any location they wish, selecting from services that range from at least five levels of high-end UV beds to spray-tan booths from top brands such as Mystic Tan and VersaSpa. Anyone unsure of how to navigate all the options can seek advice from one of L.A. Tan's certified tanning professionals, who know each tanning bed on a first-name basis. They also give consultations, build custom packages based on individual skin type, and offer take-home products that help tans last longer. Dependent on the location, spray tanning systems will vary; call desired location for further details.

PORTLAND, Ore. — A naked man playing violin in front of a downtown Portland courthouse Saturday refused to walk to a squad car and had to be carried by police.
Police say they aren't sure of the man's identity. He told them his name is Matthew T. Mglej and that he is 25 years old.
The brand of the violin was unknown on Saturday morning.
The man was jailed under the Portland city code forbidding indecent exposure.
Police say they warned the man numerous times about his "lack of attire," but he refused to dress himself or leave public view.
City police refrain from enforcing the code during Portland's World Naked Bike Ride as long as participants keep to the designated route. The event draws about 8,000 riders each June.

Jake Buckman does not have a great relationship with his teenage son, Ryan. So when Jake picks up Ryan from the movies one night and Ryan asks his dad if he can drive home — even though it's past the hour his learner's permit allows — Jake says yes, hoping it will get his son to open up and talk to him more.But this is a story told by thriller writer Lisa Scottoline, so what happens next is not happy male bonding over an Audi, but a terrifying accident that immediately plunges father and son into a morass of secrets, lies, death and scandals. And, of course, things keep getting worse. Keep Quiet is Scottoline's 22nd novel — all of her previous novels have been bestsellers. She is a machine of a writer, cranking out one to two books a year while continuing to write a weekly humor column with her daughter for The Philadelphia Inquirer. This book shows she is at the top of her form. It's a roller-coaster ride of plot twists and cliffhangers. Her pacing is impeccable, as she mixes up the action with scenes that get inside the emotional lives of her characters, revealing their pain, insecurities and confusion. As the book progresses, Jake's life begins to unravel. He goes from one bad decision to the next, but Scottoline keeps deft control over her troubled character. You may not like what Jake is doing, but you still can't help but like him. Last year, with Don't Go, Scottoline introduced her first male protagonist, Mike Scanlon, an Army doctor who comes home from active duty to find his wife dead and his life in shambles. In an email interview at that time, Scottoline told me, "After 20 years and 20 novels featuring women as the main characters, I decided to try to write a man, frankly, because I wanted to see if I could," and went on to say, "The differences between men and women had always been a subtext in my novels, which are generally about crime and family, and in part, I think I had examined that question from the female perspective, but now I was going to try to imagine it from the male's."With Keep Quiet, she continues to explore that male point of view, adding in complex questions about father-teenage son relationships and pushing her characters to try to rediscover each other in ways that are not always comfortable. Jake wants his son to admire him, but he also has to reconcile that with the fact that the recession wiped out the accounting firm he worked for and his son has watched him struggle to get financially back on his feet. And Ryan is growing up, making his own questionable decisions and seeing his parents' relationship more realistically than a little kid can. All of this makes for tensions that ring true.To add an additional element of emotional churn to the story, Jake's wife, Pam, is a lawyer and a judge, and it's interesting — and surprising — to see how she responds professionally and personally to the mess Jake and Ryan have gotten themselves into. Before she became an award-winning author, Scottoline was a lawyer, and her knowledge of the law grounds the plot in reality.But as the characters interact, sorting out their emotions, the reader can almost hear the tick-tick-tick of that roller coaster climbing uphill before it shoots the rider off into a fast-moving whoosh of a ride. And that is exactly what Scottoline does, giving readers a wild journey with just enough insight along the way so that when the plot twists happen, they're not completely unexpected.The book is a fast, fun read, and comes to a pretty quick halt, too. Loose ends are neatly tied — perhaps a bit too neatly — but overall Scottoline leaves the reader sated, satisfied and ready for the author's next thrilling ride.

Beograd, Serbia
this is actually a 'muslin' pair of pants
as i wanted to test the pattern first
before i cut that wool-silk fabric i planned for them
i had this yellow and black satin laying around
planned to make a shirtdress from it
and then i never did (and i have too many shirt dresses anyways)
so i thought if i mess it with the pants
i won't be too sorry
because i don't really like the fabric all that much
so.. made the pants
and i love them.. or to put it more precisely: i'm obsessed with them
wore them 3 times last week
they can be dressed up, and worn with heels
or worn with flats or sneakers for more casual look
i've already cut the second pair
and i have plans to make few more
because these are seriously most comfy pants i ever worn
changed only one thing
decided not to make that huge jersey waistband
(why would anyone want all that fabric around the waist?)
but added small satin waistband and 1cm wide elastics instead
see more pics on my blog mokosha
1,3m satin fabric (i used the back side as a right side, cause i don't like shininess of satin
1cm wide elastic for the waist

Car drifting in Abu Dhabi
We learn how to take corners with a skid at Abu Dhabi's Yas Drift School Discuss this article
- Picture 1 of 2
It might look like wanton tyre destruction, but drifting is one of the best, albeit most extreme, ways to master car control. Andy Mills checks out Yas Drift School to see if we've got what it takes.
In a car-crazy country like the UAE it's no surprise that the sport of drifting has gained popularity. While Japan is often cited as its birthplace, where drivers would head to twisty mountain roads in rear-wheel drive AE86 Corollas and travel along them as sideways as possible, others might argue it began with European rally drivers, where the 'Scandinavian flick' became a tool of the trade to get sideways through corners.
Over the past decade though, drifting has become a motorsport in its own right with competitions like the D1 Championship attracting big sponsors and fanatical supporters across Japan, USA and Europe.
Ultimately it's a fantastic spectacle, so Time Out thought it would be rude not to try and master the art at Yas Marina Circuit's Learn to Drift driving school.
Meeting instructor Abbas Al Alawi at the Vehicle Dynamics Area in the depths of the circuit complex, he seems as excited to get behind the wheel as I am. A racing driver by trade, he knows a thing or two about getting a car to do some manic things and gives a full briefing on what to expect.
The key, he tells me, is the first reaction when the car starts to lose the back end. How you balance the steering inputs and the amount of throttle is the difference between drifting and spinning out of control. He's also quick to point out the benefit of learning this kind of driving. 'If you hit a patch of oil or water and the car loses control, knowing how to steer out of it could be the difference between crashing or not. The skills we teach here can really help people stay safe on the road,' says Abbas.
The lesson consists of three parts; a kickplate, doughnuts and figure-of-eights. At each point, Abbas gives a passenger a ride or sits in while they drive, before letting them in the rear-wheel drive, 200 horsepower Toyota GT86 on their own, giving encouragement and tips via a walkie talkie in the car.
The kickplate is a dampened patch of particularly slippery road surface that I get to drive along, snaking the back end at relatively slow speeds to get a feel for how the car handles. The name becomes apparent on later runs where, as I drive into the skiddy bit, a plate slips left or right under my back wheels, kicking the rear end out. Not knowing which way it will send you means you have to react with your steering quickly or end up in a spin.
Once I've shown I'm not altogether useless, it's onto doughnuts; driving on a damp surface again but in a continuous circle.
The idea is to get the back of the car to slip, apply opposite lock on the steering wheel and remembering to keep the engine revs steady to complete a full circular lap with the car sideways. It's a fair bit to take in and while the wet surface makes initiating a drift easier, it's unforgiving if you make the smallest error.
I spin a lot and the car stalls often, meaning I have to start it up again and disengage all of the electronic traction control systems before trying again. It's hot work too, with lots of arm movement as we grab at the steering wheel, but the sensation on the few properly executed doughnuts I manage is immense.
Abbas reckons I'm ready to attempt a figure-of-eight, which is basically linking two doughnuts but with a tricky transition in between. It's great fun trying it, and the figure-of-eight pattern means you drift both clockwise and anti-clockwise, but it's the hardest part to get right. I'm sure I managed at least one good run. Abbas politely agrees.
At the end I ask how he'd rate my drifting prowess and a seven out of ten seems fair. It probably means I'm not quite ready to enter a drift competition any time soon, but it's been a hugely enjoyable foray into steering from the rear, with lots of time behind the wheel. And the best thing is, I can always head back and try to perfect my drifting skills in another Learn to Drift lesson or even take on their more advanced
Drift King course. Although maybe we're getting ahead of myself.
Yas Learn to Drift lessons cost Dhs1,000. To book, contact Yas Drift School, Yas Island, www.yasmarinacircuit.com (800 927).
