Megan Cloherty,
SILVER SPRING, Md. - Former NBA star and Olympian Adrian Dantley is spending his time off the court, out of the gym and in the middle of the street as a crossing guard for Montgomery County Public Schools.
Dantley, who grew up in the area and played for DeMatha High School and Notre Dame before going pro, says he realizes it's an unexpected choice.
"All I do is work out and lift weights all the time. I was in the weight room and a couple guys were talking saying, 'Man, I tell you what's a good job? A couple of my friends' wives they're crossing guards.' So I heard them and I said, 'That's something I want to do,'" Dantley says.
He works an hour a day at Eastern Middle School and New Hampshire Estates Elementary School in Silver Spring, Md.
Dantley spent most of his career with the Utah Jazz and the Detroit Pistons before working as a coach for the Denver Nuggets. He led the U.S. team in scoring in the 1976 Montreal Olympics.
When he started in September 2012, some of the children's parents recognized the 6-foot-5-inch crossing guard.
"It's pretty fun, especially with the little ones," Dantley says.
"I just give them a high-five, talk to them a little bit, encourage them, that's it," Dantley says.
He plans on staying in the job for the next 20 years.
"I could sit around the house. I could do that, I don't want to do that," he says.
Dantley says he took the job for the health care benefits and to have something to do. He says he doesn't need the $14,685.50 annual salary, as listed in the Montgomery County civil service records.

Because your opinion matters
Concept [RH] launched an integral guest satisfaction program. details +
Because your opinion matters
Under the motto the hotel chain Rochester Hotels has -"listen to our guests"- the company has set a comprehensive program including different tools. This allows the hotel company to assess and rate the experience of each guest and to determine the areas to be improved in order to exceed the expectations of the most exigent guests day after day.
Many are the tools that integrate the program. One of said tools is the online survey: an emailing containing a survey sent to each guest after the stay in order to evaluate individually all the hotel areas. THe high rate of responded surveys guests send back to Rochester Hotels make it possible to the hotel chain to analyze results on a weekly basis.
Moreover, the online comments and suggestions section of Rochester Hotels website allows guests to rate the offered services making a comment or a suggestion.
The onsite surveys are carried out while guests are in house using a survey that includes en evaluation of all hotel areas. At the same time, onsite suggestions give guests the opportunity to detail their suggestions, pouting out those issues they consider necessary.
Finally, the suggestions box give guests the chance to send Rochester Hotels their comments anonymously. All these comments, congratulations, suggestions and or improvements to be done are read by the management of the company in order to evaluate each case individually.
Rochester Hotels also oversees all websites where guests post their experiences at our hotels. Depending on the case, guests are contacted to thank them for their comments or to clarify any situation by our management
Mystery shoppers are also carried out at Rochester Hotels in order to check that procedures match the established standards for each area. Telephone calls, emails and mystery guests staying at all the hotels the company has are part of the pillars used at Rochester Hotels to guarantee guest satisfaction.
Thanks to all this work that is done day after day, Rochester Hotels is proud to have a constant 95% occupancy level -which has been also the result during the last years- and a management focused and based on guest satisfaction. 90% of the results of the surveys are positive showing the high satisfaction level of the guests who stay at Rochester Hotels.
90% of our guests qualify us positively.

Thousands of passengers have returned home after being stranded aboard the Carnival Triumph cruise ship for five days. The ship docked in Mobile, Alabama early Friday morning.
It was all smiles leaving the port, but passengers departed the 14-story ship in tears, draped in bathrobes after spending days in soiled conditions.
An engine room fire knocked out all power, sewage and air conditioning systems aboard the ship.
Carnival CEO Gary Cahill acknowledged that the Triumph had mechanical problems last month that delayed a cruise to Mexico but said the episodes were not related.
And it looks like Carnival will have to take great strides to save its reputation. Last year, 32 people died last year after the Costa Concordia, a ship operated by a subsidiary of Carnival, capsized on the rocky shore of an Italian island.
The cruise-line has offered all passengers a full refund of the cruise along with a free future cruise and compensation of $500.
"I know the conditions on board were very poor, I know it was very difficult and I want to apologize again for subjecting our guests to that. We pride ourselves in providing our guests with a great vacation experience and clearly we failed in this particular case," said Gary Cahill, Carnival president and CEO.
But the reimbursement may not be enough, as the first lawsuit against Carnival was filed Friday. Court documents show a Texas woman alleges the cruise line failed to provide sanitary conditions, thus causing her physical and emotional harm.
Carnival has cancelled fourteen cruises over the next few months. However, a local travel agent with AAA says this did not affect any local passengers and says the agency has not received any phone calls from concerned customers.
"If you look at the numbers of people who travel on cruises, I think it's about 10 million people from U.S. cruise ports and 17 million worldwide, so this is really an isolated incident in this case," said Brenda Cahill, AAA travel agent.
This first lawsuit may only be the beginning. Carnival estimated that these costs, including repairing the ship and reimbursements, would reduce its earnings by more than eight cents a share.
Many of the passengers said they would not go on another Carnival cruise even if it's free.

It's funny. I'm not religious, but I think it is terrible how some atheists push their beliefs harder than the people they protest. I mean, who knows if there is more than us just flying through space on a giant rock.

Hm ... thing is that atheism isn't a belief system. This is where the whole debate goes off track. And atheists don't have a problem with agnostics like you :0). We don't even have a problem with people who privately believe in ... anything. The problem is with the standing of religion in the world. That a pixie book guides politicians' moves or whole populations' preferences. It is absurd. We accept that nations are torn apart by religion, but would we accept if they were torn apart by, say ... a belief in Santa Claus? :0) Have a great Saturday. Peace and love
- September 26, 2009 at 1:11 AM
Thats pretty funny. I'm also not religious and I think its terrible how religion is so pervasive in society. It disrupts peoples happiness and is a serious concern when blind faith of parents is putting an ill childs life at risk.
- September 26, 2009 at 3:00 AM
then it should be no problem for you to produce a youtube video of the next atheist that comes knocking on your door trying to convert you or to simply name a war that was waged by atheists for the sake of atheism in order to convert those that do not share the same belief.
- September 26, 2009 at 3:56 AM
I fucking know, and your a wank!
and atheists don't push their beliefs harder than christians. We don't care what you choose to believe in just leave us the fuck alone with your bullshit
- September 26, 2009 at 4:16 AM
Posting stuff on the internet isn't "pushing". As opposed to what the religious do through government, education etc
- September 26, 2009 at 4:47 AM
No, atheists don't push their beliefs any harder than Christians. They just do it more militantly because they're not held to any "moral code" of being kind to each other.
I'm an ex-Christian, but get completely turned off to the atheist movement because I've yet to meet one that didn't seem to have some kind of deeply set anger or resentment for Christianity specifically. Resulting in just vulgar name calling because they know thats a level Christians wont go to, to defend themselves.
I think it's okay whatever you believe. You can't say "I believe what i believe, so they're ALL wrong and I'm right." Unless you have a history in being perfect. I don't believe in giving reparations to black people, and I don't believe most Christians should have to apologize for the actions of their ancestors either. The world sucks some time, get over it, and live your own life.
So, while it's nice you don't believe in anything... thats fine and all... I just think you'd get a lot better response if you weren't all "Become an atheist, because we hate christians!"
there's my two cents.
- September 26, 2009 at 7:56 AM
I just find it amusing to see how scared Atheist are of Christians. Why do we Christians get so much flak if we are just believing in a non existent entity? True Christians don't push their belief on anyone. They live their belief and wait for people to notice. If someone has a question, we answer it to the best of our ability or try to refer them to a preacher or elder of the church that might be able to help further. Christians who live by The Word, the Bible, in fact understand that nobody converts anyone. God converts people. God is the one that works in their life to help them. A Christian lives their life by the word of God, and in doing so, the Lord works through them and with them to help in others lives. Don't forget, being religious doesn't mean you are a Christian. A full blown Atheist is just as religious in his belief as a full blown Christian is in his. If you have more questions feel free to email me at email@example.com I'll try to respond as soon as possible.

I am sorry Daniel Hartman, if you are a true christian you should knwo these by heart:
Matthew 28:18-20
Mat 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Mat 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Mat 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Markus 16:15-16
Mar 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Mar 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
Mark 13:10
10 And the gospel must first be preached to all nations.
I mean com'on that is the heart of Christianity, without it we wouldnt have so many churches around... it is the "Great Commission"
Religions in general try to make others believe in their belief system because they are "helping" humanity, and if you dont believe in what they believe you are "wrong" to the point that they "help" in killing each other over which is the correct interpretation of their book that was "written by God" but obscure enough that not even the most intelligent humans find it logic how a "loving" saids "kill em all" so easily... and dont tell me that they are enemies of god since "all of us are his children and his creation" and that means that god is killing his children.... literally... maybe just for pleasure or entertainment
- September 26, 2009 at 3:46 PM
Atheist have good reasons to fear not only christians, but all theists. They have been hunted down and slaughtered for centuries for the greater glory of some god or other.
I like to think we're evolving out of being at the mercy of some bronze age propaganda.

Well, that's hilarious. As a Christian I laugh harder because there are so many labeled "christian" that do just that, put all their faith in a mindless book. one book to rule them all!
It's far less complex and far more complex, a dichotomy that Atheism can never really attach themselves to

HippiePrincess: Disbelief IS a system of belief; otherwise, I agree with you.
Anonymous below HippiePrincess: You're judging the whole by the fringes. There are extreme environmentalists who drink their own pee; you going to avoid going green?
That being said, I take no stance in this argument. I'm an Absurdist at heart, and I believe that wasting your time arguing over whether or not there is a supreme being and whether or not you can discern his motives is silly.
Go read a book or eat an apple or something productive.

There will always be some atheists who push their beliefs harder than the majority of the people who they are against. These people are necessary as are the people on the opposite side of the coin, this sparks and allows debate which is necessary for our own advancement.
The argument should never be against peoples beliefs, more the institutions that pray (prey?) on them.
- September 26, 2009 at 7:54 PM
the reason which atheists may seem to have a more direct problem with christianity specifically (though I can only vouch for fellow US atheists) is the overwhelming influence it has over the political system, most specifically the way in which in manifests into a monopoly on morality.
It's the one that gets rubbed in our faces the most.

RE: Mentions of Militant Atheism
Number of atheists committing atrocities, crimes against humanity, et cetera in the name of atheism throughout history would be exactly zero. (Don't try and sneak communism in there - communists committed atrocities in the name of communism)
In order of popularity: Buddhists, Muslims, Christians... let's see your numbers.
For militants we atheists sure seem to be lacking in the death tolls - aside from the occasional biblical allegory (and depending upon which version of the biblical texts/apocrypha you happen to believe to be "the true one") you won't find many people forced to decide between atheism and death.
- September 27, 2009 at 2:36 AM
If you find that little snarky remark to be too extreme, you should look into how the Romans treated the early Christians or how Christians have treated each other over the centuries.
What has given us the environment where we can even have religios differences without it coming to blood very often? The ideas of a bunch of Deists from the Enlightenment did.
Us doubters and skeptics and scoffers are what keeps the US and Europe from sinking back into another era of religious strife.
Doubters scoffers and skeptics comprise a good deal of why we don't have Kings and civil wars over successions anymore.
- September 27, 2009 at 4:06 AM
atheism is a belief system hippie princess.... underlying everything there is a belief system and a set of definitions. what else do we use to form our opinions other than beliefs?
- September 27, 2009 at 6:41 AM
The problem is: Atheism IS in fact a belief system, because you believe there is no god. you can't know it. So in fact agnosticism is the only way to make a statement about god, without having any believe. Therefore Atheism is not as scientific as many think.

@daniel hartman
If that's the case, I've only met one "true" christian. Everyone else seems to think that I'm going to hell just because I choose to believe in Goddess or not rather than "God".
If someone has a question, we answer it to the best of our ability or try to refer them to a preacher or elder of the church that might be able to help further.

Atheists ridicule religions like Christianity because they are ridiculous, they would be laughable if they didn't encourage such prejudice and increase divisions in the world.
If Christians, Muslims, Jews etc. would try to view their archaic rituals and scriptures as an outsider looking in, they would see just how farcical it really is. I appreciate this is not easy to do when you have been brainwashed since childhood on your beliefs and you have the comfort of regularly communing with equally brainwashed individuals in a constant reinforcement of your views.
Atheists constantly question and challenge beliefs and dogma, especially faith based beliefs, and people who blindly follow such faith based belief should realise that this questioning and challenging is a healthy thing to do.
- September 27, 2009 at 9:00 AM
- Shoku said...
Funny how atheists push their beliefs just as hard...
Well no, think about why it's obvious. If you don't push back about as hard as some of those really extremist sects you get barreled over by them.
Other Christians not so much because you just disagree about how extreme you need to be but atheists? The extreme guys can very easily turn a whole community of more normal folks against an atheist so we've got to push back against them ten times as strong because they've got all of you helping push.
If you'd fight them for us (it's clear that what they do is flat out wrong if you think for a minute,) we'd calm down pretty quick.
There would still be the angsty teenagers making a racket but they don't ever actually get anything down and rarely create anything (such as a one frame comic) about it.
- September 27, 2009 at 11:33 AM
@Daniel Hartman: You said 'Christians who live by The Word, the Bible, in fact understand that nobody converts anyone. God converts people. God is the one that works in their life to help them.'
My question is, why is the all-perfect god himself so biased and unfair in that he 'saves' only those he 'favours' by 'converting' them, and then proceeds to sadistically let the rest of us rot in his 'eternal hell'?
- September 27, 2009 at 2:50 PM
i do not recognize those that claim my name.
- September 27, 2009 at 4:03 PM
I'm an atheist, but I don't resent Christianity or any other faith. I'm certainly not afraid of it either. Just as I'm entitled to my beliefs, other people are entitled to theirs.
Not all religious people are zealots just looking to push their religion on others-- what right do we have to overgeneralize in this way? If the individual hasn't done anything intrusive, then turn the other cheek. You don't have to agree, but you don't have to be a dick about it either.
I find it JUST as annoying when other atheists act all smug and rub their beliefs in other peoples faces as when religious fanatics rub their beliefs in MY face. It's just really, really uncalled for.
- September 27, 2009 at 6:38 PM

I am an atheist and I do resent religion. Most of the problems of the world are, and always have been, caused by religion.
I have never met a religious person that was not a fool, a liar, or a hypocrite. Usually, they are all three at the same time.
Even then, I would be content to leave them to their delusions if they would not attempt to force their insanity upon everyone else by force of law.
Just practice your silly ideas and waste your lives and resources on them but leave the rational people alone.

These conditions require both a genetic predisposition and environmental triggers for development. Participants who provide contact information, a small blood sample and answer several questions about age, race and ethnicity will receive $20. For more information, contact Beverly A. Warden, PMP, Ph.D., MPH, at 919-313-7558.
Autoimmune Diseases. The NIEHS is recruiting adults and children to participate in two studies to understand the role that genes and environmental risk factors play in the development of systemic autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis/juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, scleroderma or myositis. Participants may enroll at the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, the Clinical Research Unit in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina or their local doctor's office. For more information see the announcements and websites below and to determine if you are eligible for this study, please contact the NIH patient information office at 1-800-411-1222 (TTY: 1-866-411-1010).
- The Twin-Sibs Study (PI: Frederick Miller, M.D., Ph.D.)
The goal of this study is to examine the genetic and environmental risk factors in the development of autoimmune diseases in twins and same-sex siblings, when one has an autoimmune disease and the other does not. Adults and children may enroll by completing questionnaires and donating blood and urine samples.
For more information, please see the Twin-Sibs Study Web page.
- The MYORISK Study (PI: Frederick Miller, M.D., Ph.D.)
This study intends to investigate the genetic and environmental risk factors involved in the development of myositis, an autoimmune muscle disease that causes chronic muscle weakness. Adults and children diagnosed with myositis within the last year may enroll by completing questionnaires and donating blood and urine samples.
For more information, please see the MYORISK Study Web page.
The Role of TGF-beta1 in Respiratory Virus-Induced Asthma Exacerbations (PI: Stavros Garantziotis, M.D.)
Asthma patients seem to be more prone to viral infections, and NIEHS scientists believe that the cells that line these patients' airways, cause this result by overproducing TGF-beta1, a protein that promotes viral growth. This study seeks participants with and without asthma to contribute airway cell samples.
The Role of Glucocorticoid Receptor SNPs in Receptor Function and Metabolic Disease (PIs: Stavros Garantziotis, M.D., and John Cidlowski, Ph.D.)
NIEHS researchers theorize that changes in the surface proteins of cells called receptors may predispose people to diseases, such as heart disease, arthritis, and diabetes. This study needs volunteers to undergo tests to determine how these changes or variants lead to illness.
Role of p53 Genetic Variants in Inflammation and Carcinogenesis (PI: Michael Resnick, Ph.D.)
The gene p53 suppresses cancer and inflammation in the body, and NIEHS investigators speculate that changes in p53 lead to changes in inflammation and the ability to repair DNA damage. This study wants blood samples from participants to find out how the changes in p53 lead to these conditions.
NIEHS Studies - Closed for Recruitment
Breast Cancer Research. The NIEHS-led Sister Study is a nationwide study of sisters of women who have had breast cancer. The purpose of the Sister Study is to learn how the environment and genes may interact to affect the chances of getting breast cancer. The Sister Study completed enrollment in March 2009. To learn more about the study, visit The Sister Study or el Estudio de Hermanas .
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Twin Sisters. The NIEHS is studying polycystic ovary syndrome in twins to find out if it is caused by genetics, environmental triggers or a combination of both. The Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Twin Sisters study has completed enrollment.
Dust mite Reduction Study. The Dust Mite Reduction Study helps children with dust mite allergies or sensitivities by teaching them how to reduce dust mites in their homes. The study has completed enrollment, but to learn more about the project, contact Michelle Sever at 919-541-2999.
What is the Clinical Research Branch?
The Clinical Research Unit (CRU).
The NIEHS Clinical Research Unit is a 14,000 square foot facility specifically designed to host collaborative research that moves laboratory science into applications for improving human health and preventing disease. The facility will advance partnerships between NIEHS scientists and other scientists from local North Carolina universities and research institutes, and will also serve as a point of interface with the NIH Clinical Research Center in Bethesda, Maryland.
Interested in joining a study at the NIEHS CRU?
To participate in a NIEHS CRU research study, please contact Sandra Santucci at 919-541-9841. You will receive financial compensation for your time as a volunteer and parking is provided. You may be able to participate in more than one study at one time.
Where do these studies take place?
Most studies take place at the Clinical Research Unit (CRU) on the NIEHS Research Triangle Park, North Carolina campus. The CRU is located at 111 T.W. Alexander Drive, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, 27709 U.S.A. For directions to the building, please see Visiting the CRU.
For some studies on autoimmune disease, however, participants may enroll at the NIH Clinical Center, 9000 Rockville Pike, Bethesda, Maryland, 20892 U.S.A. For more information about the NIEHS studies being conducted in Bethesda, please see the Clinical Center, Maryland and for directions see Directions to the Clinical Center .

Specifically, we make three commitments to our customers:
1. You will enjoy using our innovative products that are designed and manufactured to be the best;
2. You will experience world-class, after-sales customer service;
3. For a limited time after you purchase a Tumi product from an authorized Tumi store or dealer, you will be covered by our Limited Warranty.
Tumi's warranty extends to the original owner; it is straightforward and comprehensive, and just part of the total Tumi ownership experience.
Please click here to learn more about the Tumi Warranty.
The Tumi Difference
Easy Glide Wheels
Our state-of-the-art in-line wheels incorporate sealed steel ball bearings and are mounted on solid steel axles in custom-designed, shock-absorbing bushings. They roll smoothly and quietly for hundreds of miles.
FXT Ballistic Nylon®
Tumi was the first to bring ballistic nylon to the consumer market over 30 years ago. Now we have perfected it with our exclusive FXT ballistic fabric, which combines a unique weave and a special coating to make it ultra-tough and virtually abrasion proof.
Tumi Tracer®
The Tumi Tracer® is an exclusive, complimentary program that helps reunite Tumi customers with their lost or stolen items. The core of the program is a unique 20-digit individual product number printed on a special metal plate that is permanently affixed to Tumi products. That number, along with the owners contact information, is entered into our Tracer database when a bag is registered with us, and used to help aid in the recovery of lost or stolen items that are reported to us.
Waterproof Pocket
This specially-designed pocket is ideal for keeping wet and damp items, including umbrellas, water bottles and workout clothes, separate from the other contents of the bag.
Aircraft Grade Aluminum Extension Handle
The tubing of our telescoping handles is made from aircraft-grade aluminum, making them both lightweight and extremely sturdy.

"You can forgive a murder, but never a mistake while preparing tea." Chinese proverb
Labels? Here you go: Femme, Wife, Lesbian, Homemaker, Happy. Don't forget tea fanatic!
My tastes in tea have changed, so I should update this as well. I find myself leaning more towards rooibos and herbals, if only for their great ability to chill in my travel mug for hours and not get weird on me. When I have time to properly brew a cuppa, I lean towards white teas (which I only steep for 30 seconds) and black teas (which only get 2-3 minutes from me). I cannot stand green teas, they're too fiddly for my tastes. Oolongs are great, but a bit fiddly as well. However, I love watching oolongs open up in my looseleaf brewer. I'm slowly discovering mates and falling for them…there are many I look forward to trying!
So…yeah. That's me and my tea!

Hoist the sails and chart a course for adventure aboard the Eagle, the legendary tall ship sailed by the U.S. Coast Guard.
America's maritime tradition is filled with noble ships, vast riches and extraordinary tales. And though the age of the great sailing ships has long passed, the glory of this vanished era lives on in vessels like the USS Eagle, a square-rigged, steel-hulled reminder of the days when wind ruled the waves.
SAIL 2000, ABOARD THE EAGLE includes dramatic footage of many surviving tall ships making their triumphant entrance into New York Harbor in what has become an annual event, but the focus is on the Coast Guard's precious veteran. You'll go aboard the Eagle for a trip from San Francisco to San Diego, and see how the seemingly anachronistic ship is a valuable training platform that instills recruits with the value of seamanship and teamwork, along with a sense of tradition.
SAIL 2000, ABOARD THE EAGLE captures the thrill of being on the open sea reveling in the adventure and challenge of sailing.

Weight25 lbs.
Age3 Years & Up
Rated 4 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by lizzzz great bookshelf I ordered this bookshelf because I needed a way to store my sons books so that he could easily see them. This shelf works great, and looks great! The shelves are deep enough to fit many books, I have over 30 displayed so far. And it is the perfect size so that my 2 year old son can pick out and then put away his books. The shelf on the bottom is great for storing thick board book that are too small for the top shelves. The piece was easy enough to put together and seems very sturdy. My only complaint is that the color in the picture is deceiving, the color is a burnt orange not a bright orange. Also there is no backing on the lower shelf so you will see your wall behind the shelf. I would order this shelf again in a heartbeat, and love the unique look of the piece. It fits in very well with our other modern decor without looking too babyish, but is still very kid friendly. Great shelf! November 20, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 Color different than shown on website We got this bookshelf for my daughter's room. Giggle was the only place I could find the orange color. However, when we assembled it, we discovered that the color is more of a rust than an orange. It looks fine, just not the way it looks on the website. Otherwise, I think it's a great product. January 3, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 Great Bookshelf I ordered this bookshelf because it looks great with my decor and matches my color scheme. Giggle was the only place that had orange. Its very well built and pretty easy to put together. I loved the chalkboard addition, although if you fill the shelves with books, the little shelf-level chalkboards get covered. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because it was not clear from the description or picture that the cabinet area only has one door that slides (one side is always open). I would have preferred it to be closed. Overall great bookshelf and I have already recommended it to a friend. December 11, 2012

Get Outdoors, Breath Some Fresh Air and Work Up a Sweat!
In last week's blog we asked Steaz fans to share their New Year's goals with us for a chance to win a very steazy gift bag. Susan, who won, has an ambitious 2012 goal: to complete her 2nd century bike ride and to lose 10 pounds. And many others shared similar ambitions - we have quite the active group! Almost everyone who shared their goals wanted to increase their daily activity with yoga, skiing, hiking, biking, swimming, or running - 5k, ½ marathon and even to run 3 full marathons this year! Go Steazers!
One of the most picturesque (and motivating) places in the United States to get outdoors and workout is sunny California. Known for the surf culture, theme parks, wine and of course beaches!
Torrey Pines is located within the San Diego city limits, yet still remains some of the wildest stretches of land on the SoCal coastline. The flat sand, rolling grass hills and steep staircases make it a runner's paradise.
La Jolla is known for it's beautiful natural scenery and abundant wildlife - including dolphins and seals. The turquoise water and sandy slopes make it the ideal backdrop for a quiet walk or some relaxing yoga.
Mission Beach has everything from picnic benches to amusement parks. A boardwalk runs along the beaches on both the ocean and bay sides of the community and is a perfect spot for beach volleyball, basketball and surfing.
The original Muscle Beach offers Santa Monica locals more than just shopping. South of the infamous pier now has a refurbished training area for gymnasts and bodybuilders alike.
And these are only a few of the wonderful places that California has to offer. Tell us: What are YOUR favorite spots to get outdoors, breath some fresh air and work up a sweat?
- Steaz meets my healthy diet requirements, and the energy that i need to push through a 4 day week of college, volunteer coaching 5-6 days a week plus my 2-3 hour daily workout routine for athletics. its the only energy drink that i don't get a crash, or an extreme rush from, which is the perfect balance. it helps me perform in my wrestling without fatigue; with the added bonus of supporting a local family store!January 28, 2012

I'd rather pay Mattel $20 instead of someone who knew how to to all that a lot more then $20.
'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments" (Matthew 22:36-40).
I'd definitely take a "Spirit" figure.
I think it looks good. I'm not tripping out for it, but if they offered it, i'd take it.

I'd be interested in getting one.

" Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elswhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us."
--Calvin and Hobbes
Me too! Everyone should have the chance to own this figure, even if it means changing the colour from blue to green.
Now that i take a second look, i think the "Spirit" figure is pretty awesome!!!
Now i want it.
I always liked the translucent figures. I was a big fan of the TRON toyline. They were similar. I bought all the re-issues.

Witht he coming of the Spirit of Hordak chase figure... how about next year they do the King Grayskull 2.0 figure in blue translucents so we can have the eternal struggle of Hordak vs. King Grayskull? The molds are all there, and there are basically no paint apps... should be a no brainer, no?
What about since she died in the bios and dc comic series a Spirit of the Sorceress figure?? Since SoH is aval off and on??
She-Ra rocks. For the honor of Grayskull.

I'd prefer something a little weirder like a clear Scareglow.
After the way the secret figure scenario has been received, i'm not sure it'd be welcome by most fans. Would love a Spirit of Grayskull figure without a doubt but not by obtaining it through the secret figure method of sale.

I really like the idea of a having a clear blue Spirit of Grayskull to take on a Spirit of Hordak. It would look awesome as part of a Castle Grayskull display. They just need to go it in a way that generates excitement without ******* people off.

- Grayskull Tombstone
- Power Sword
2015 NA SUB (EXCLUSIVE: Darius)
-Weaponstronic, Tuskador, Kayo, Lizorr, Staghorn, Hoove
Slime pit he-man would be kind of neat.
Right or wrong, buying a sub tells Mattel you want more MOTUC figures. Not buying does tells them you don't. Don't let MOTUC end early because you might not like their marketing strategy! Plus polls show you won't regret subbing!
One of the true fan minority - happy MOTU fans!

Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do. ― Apple Inc.
Personally I'd like them to change it up and make him even more different from the original. Either:
A) Make him translucent blue with lightning details all over him, or
B) Make him a dark translucent green and give him a new solid red drape to put over him like the old mini-comic idea of him on the throne.

Alexx has a blog?! Come on in and check out Toys and Tomfoolery! You won't regret it...until the next morning.
A Spirit of Grayskull V.2 would be great!
This is the only figure that I don't have in my collection....Got the Bronze Grayskull amongst the other 3 that I ordered when this whole MOTU Classics line kicked off direct from Matty at retail. Can't beat that!
I've been half inclined to create my own Spirit of Grayskull but haven't got around to it yet. So if Matty would do another variant version, that would be great. Kind of like how they did another Grayskull to help get him into the collections of everybody who didn't get the SDCC version.
They could use the Swift Wind buck to give us a translucent horse which they could call "The Spirit of Spirit."
Leela: "What's the secret of time travel doing on Fry's ass?"
Fry: "It was bound to be somewhere!"
Snake Hunter-your post should have a "Like" button. YES! Filmation head would be killer, especially with a spare Doomseeker stand thrown in to have it "hover" near our Sorceress.
I think we have a couple threads like this one, but I'm all for a redo on Spirit of KG.
Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti
