Bowling is the great social equalizer—a common ground where grizzled undercover clowns, blue-collar English lords, LARPer librarians, big and tall lingerie models, hordes of hive-minded hipsters, and the other two social demographics that comprise America can unite in common cause and topple a gaggle of stuck-up, inanimate wooden pins. Brunswick has been a household name in this egalitarian pastime almost since the beginning, with a company history that dates back to the 19th century, providing classic American good times to all manner of patrons across the country. And with today's Groupon tying the room together, you'll get to play two games (up to a $10.98 value) in its hallowed halls wearing a pair of freshly disinfected bowling shoes (up to a $4.79 value).
When Sunny Williamson's son couldn't find a satisfactory airsoft facility, his father decided to create one for him. Opened in 2006, Tac City Airsoft has since expanded to two indoor airsoft facilities totaling more than 60,000-square feet. Under the watchful eye of refs, players duke it out in the Fullerton field's fully enclosed quarters filled with wooden walls and labyrinthine hallways or the semi-outdoor space in El Monte littered with barrels and haystacks. Personnel update the fields every few months to keep repeat guests on their toes as they compete in scenarios such as capture the flag and follow-up games of set the flag free. In lieu of combatting with Tac City Airsoft's fully automatic M4 rentals, visitors can purchase their own weapons and gear at the pro-shop.
Spend time having AFFORDABLE FUN! All games work on nickels, REAL NICKELS. Over 100 games, most ticket winning games are 1-2 nickels, most video games are 4-6 nickels, and 25 games are set on FREE PLAY! Each person over 3 years old purchases admission for $2.00 plus what ever nickels they want.
Blast tactically into a beam-blasting fantasy emitting infrared beams with today's Groupon. You get unlimited laser-tag play at Ultrazone Laser Tag, the largest laser-tag arena in the LA area. All you can play passes at Ultrazone are normally $22 with an extra $5 charge for late-night blasting; although all-day play on Wednesdays and Thursdays is available for $12, use today's deal to spend a weekend hitting your loved ones with painless lasers.In his words, Tad is known for "having the hottest girlfriend in town, driving a 1998 Chevy Cavalier, dressing like the dude from The Matrix way before that movie even came out, and never, ever losing a match." He's also the world's foremost expert on laser-tag strategy, having penned the 2004 bestseller LaserTad's LaserRad Laser-Tag LaserTactics For Laser-Tag LaserFanatics.
Scandia Amusement Park adds a Nordic theme to classic amusement-park rides. Towering over the park, the signature Scandia Screamer Coaster sends riders through more high-speed drops, twists, and turns than that time they tried to cartwheel down the stairs. Shrieks of excitement echo at Cliff Jumper, a 100-foot-drop tower, and the Viking Ship, which swings like a giant pendulum through the air. A kiddie section treats young visitors to less-intense rides, including a carousel and the aptly named Little Dipper Coaster.
Back on the ground, more than 12,000 vibrant flowers line two Scandavian-themed putt-putt courses. Waterfalls and trickling streams calm players as they putt golf balls through challenging obstacles such as a stone castle. The competition continues at batting cages, which hurl baseballs and scoops of ice cream at speeds of up to 70 miles per hour. Aside from these everyday attractions, Scandia Amusement Park lures in visitors with birthday-party packages and a seasonal haunted house.
At Splash! Buccaneer Bay Waterpark, the sun's rays sift through tall palms and glisten on explosions of water as families rocket out of twirly slides into the pool. After shooting out of those slides, they can grab a tube and head for the lazy river, then clamber over a marooned pirate ship surrounded by cannon walls and benches made from wharf planks. A skull rock keeps watch while some take respite from the heat beneath canopies resembling sails. To keep kids 48" and shorter giggling, there's a Spray Pad Zone with fountains to run through and cascades of water, a zero-depth beach, and dumping buckets. The adjacent 25-yard pool is open to all ages, giving guests ample room to play Marco Polo or a game of underwater chess.
At the end of the day, everyone can refuel at the Big Backyard Grille. There, families dine on pizzas and burgers and keep cool with Hawaiian shaved ice. Splash! Buccaneer Bay Waterpark offers free parking, and life jackets and tubes are included at no extra charge.

Want to get hired faster? You can almost always shave days, weeks -- even months -- off your job search if you stop following the herd.
In my eight years of helping people find work, I've watched too many job seekers take too long to get hired because they do the same things as everyone else. This is especially true for recent college grads.
So start doing a few things differently in your job search. And start getting called for more interviews.
Here are three ways ...
1. Look where others don't
When you began your job hunt, where's the first place you looked for openings? I'll bet my next house payment it was either the classified ads or the online job boards. That's where EVERYBODY starts their job search. And that's where you have the MOST competition for openings, like fishing off the same pier with 10,000 other people.
Change your approach.
Where's the last place most people look for job openings? Their network of contacts. Specifically, current and past employers. You know, the people who've signed your paychecks.
Think about it: if someone thought highly enough of your skills to pay you a salary every two weeks, do you think they MIGHT be willing to share job leads with you, or at least pass your name on to someone they know who's hiring?
So today -- right now -- make a list of at least 5 current or former managers you are on good terms with and whom you can contact for job leads. Then call or email them to let them know what you're looking for. Today!
2. Write a very different cover letter
Sorry, but there's no nice way to say this -- most cover letters stink like a high school gym locker.
And, without seeing yours, I can predict with 95% certainty that it has one major flaw -- it's focused too much on you and your needs.
Specifically, I'll wager the last cover letter you sent out was rife with language like this: "I am applying for a job with potential for advancement, where my skills will be utilized and where I will be challenged ..." or something similar.
This is how almost everyone writes cover letters. I know, because I've read almost 10,000 of them since 1996.
Stop it. Now.
Instead, do this: replace every "I" and "my" in your next cover letter with the word "YOU."

CASTLETON - A 77-year-old man died Tuesday afternoon after an escaped bull chased him to the ground on a farm on East Hubbardton Road.
Interim Police Chief Steve Dechen said today that Harold Stanyon was pronounced dead at Rutland Regional Medical Center after being chased by a 1,250-pound brown Swiss bull that he was boarding on his small farm.
Dechen said the bull escaped and began chasing Stanyon who was returning home from jogging.
Witnesses told police that Stanyon fell to the ground and the bull stepped over him, but no trampling or goring injuries were found on Stanyon's body.
Rather, police and the deceased man's doctor believe that Stanyon may have died from a heart attack.
Dechen said an autopsy will be conducted to determine the cause of death.
The bull, which Dechen said was owned by Glen Mar Dairy, was led from the scene by witnesses who harnessed the animal minutes after Stanyon fell to the ground.
Dechen said the owners quickly "got rid" of the animal.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER Vermonts state auditor is asking lawmakers to beef up the information consumers can...

Americans who are considered high credit risks rises by 5 million.
POSTED: Wednesday, September 23, 2009 - 8:21am
UPDATED: Thursday, February 25, 2010 - 11:34am
As banks tighten up on lenders, credit scores are taking a dive.
The number of Americans who are considered a very high credit risks has risen by 5 million to just under 40 million. At the same time, the number of consumers who qualify for the best rates has taken a dive. Analysts say it's because many of those so called superprime borrowers have been late on payments. So as lenders address a shift in credit worthiness, watchdog groups are asking regulators and Congress to make sure that doesn't impair people's overall right to get credit.

Big Daddy's new record will be released this coming October 14th on RockBeat Records.
The Dads take on the great songs the Broadway Stage and the Silver Screen in the way they should've been recorded. The classic styles of the 1950's! So, check us out and we hope you have a blast!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN from BIG DADDY
"Hey, We Put On A Play!"
May 15, 1991. Principal Heffler walked out on the stage, and… I asked everyone to join me in with the Pledge of Allegiance. And the entire audience stood up! Well, almost the entire audience. One person remained seated. I pointed to him and said, "Stand up, son." Then, remembering this was Eisenhower High School, I added, "Make Ike proud!" And he did. And the audience loved … read more
"Hey, Let's Put On A Play!"
"Dig! We can do this!" When things seemed tense and uncomfortable, Nick Beat's dramatic proclamation at a pivotal moment in the Big Daddy play was a battle cry, which rallied everyone to forge on! And forge on we did! And this is how it all began… I first met Bob Wayne in 1966 at Santa Monica College. (Back then, known as SMCC, Santa Monica City College). Bob sat behind me in … read more
AT MY PLACE, home base for Big Daddy (1983 – 1994)
Having finished the first Big Daddy album in late 1982, and looking for a home base nightclub in the Los Angeles area, a fairly new spot came to mind in Santa Monica… At My Place. I had been there a few times since it opened in 1981 and was intrigued by its unique format: featured musical acts with opening comedians. Billy (Vera) & The Beaters were tearing up a storm on weekends to … read more
And now for the final installment on Big Daddy's "Adventures in England"… Just as we were preparing to head back to the US from our first tour of the UK in February of 1985, Our record label there (Making Waves) hinted that we might need to return very shortly to appear on "Top of the Pops." For those of you not familiar with this BBC-TV show, "Top of the Pops" was THE music … read more
"How 'bout a beer mates?", yelled Dave Taylor, our UK piano man. We were on the way back to London from a TV appearance in Birmingham in February of 1985. The show was Pebble Mill at One, the second stop on the tour (after Whistle Test). True to its name, the live afternoon variety program -- similar to the old Mike Douglas or Merv Griffin Show(s) here in the states -- aired live at 1 … read more
Big Daddy hits the road in the UK…part 1
Our first album "What Really Happened To The Band Of '59" had already peaked here in the US when we got word from Rhino in 1984 that a small record label in England - "Making Waves" - was interested in releasing the album in the UK. We had experienced a few false alarms about foreign releases of the LP in the past, but this offer appeared to be different. Making Waves, a new label run by well … read more
The Land Down Under
In 1987, Big Daddy traveled to Sydney, Australia. The month was January, which put us right in the middle of summertime half way across the world. We left a cold and rainy Los Angeles and landed in a warm and sunny land very far away. How fantastic! We were to stay there for two months and perform 6 nights a week at a very popular theatre called Kinsellas, right in the heart of the Kings Cross. … read more
Jammin' With Duane Eddy
"Bubba" (Tom Lee) with a few notes about a wonderful experience... I remember my first introduction to Duane Eddy as an 8 year old kid, living in Detroit. I was sick, home from school listening to my big brother's records in bed . I heard Rick Nelson's "Hello, Mary Lou", Jimmy Jones "Handy Man", and Duane Eddy's "Rebel Rouser", and had to listen to them over & … read more
Big Daddy Meets Duane Eddy
Lightnin' Bob here with a Big Daddy "Blast From The Past"... The year was 1986 and we were in the heyday of our "casino touring years." The current stint was at Caesars Tahoe (now known as The Montbleu Resort) in Lake Tahoe California. We got word that on this particular night, Duane Eddy, one of our major musical influences might be in the audience to see our show! The band was very excited … read more
Gone But Not Forgotten
Sunburst Recording, Established 1983 - Closed 2014. Homebase for Big Daddy and many others. Over the years Sunburst's clients included Vince Gill, Albert Lee, Steve Allen, David Hildalgo, Freddie Cannon, Lou Christie, Mickey Dolenz, Richie Havens, Darlene Love, Firesign Theater, Lily Tomlin, George Carlin, Adam Sandler... and the list goes on...

The ties that bind: a reflection on physician grief.
Summary of "The ties that bind: a reflection on physician grief."
Physician grief remains a prevalent yet largely unacknowledged problem in the medical profession. Several techniques can be employed to improve coping in physicians that deal frequently with patients approaching the end of life that can be integrated into medical training programs and physician practices. The author recounts his own experience of physician grief having cared for a patient on his dying journey and using it as an opportunity for personal growth.

I've been learning digitizing and I'm doing alright so far learning by trial and error. Picking things up quickly. But I wanna get away from solid colors and put a little flare in things. For example, one of the things I wanna do is to be able to make "bricks" without having to draw them out. Like a stone wall or brick building. I'm pretty sure this can be done with motif but I can't figure out how to do it. None of the settings I put in even look close.
Can someone explain motif to me? |

Sabatoge Wasn't on Beyonce's To-Do List
When asked if Bey plotted against Kelly and Michelle at the Super Bowl, former group member LeToya Luckett says 'No, No, No.'
Did Beyonce really plot to silence her Destiny's Child cohorts so she could be the main attraction at the Super Bowl? Not a chance, says original group member LeToya Luckett.
"Despite any 'diva' stories you may hear about Beyonce, she would never intentionally do anything like that," the singer exclusively told Celebuzz, after some claimed that Queen Bey had ordered Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland's mics to be turned off during Sunday's halftime show.
Suspicion was raised on when Williams and Rowland were drowned out by Beyonce's booming voice. But Luckett says the showstopping reunion -- even with a lack of Kelly and Michelle -- was fine in her book.
"I was in Miami recording when I saw their performance, and I thought that they were all phenomenal," said Luckett, who added that the Destiny's Child regrouping came as no surprise.
"Just three days before the Super Bowl, Michelle actually sent me a text and I had a hunch something was up. It made total sense to me for Destiny's Child to get back together for such a huge event because they just released their new Love Songs album."
Luckett joined Destiny's Child in 1993 with fellow group member LaTavia Roberson; both were abruptly replaced by Williams and Farrah Franklin in 2000 and subsequently endured several court battles to get their share of album royalties. However, despite these problems Luckett and Williams went on to become friends.
Despite the bumpy start, Luckett is still going strong. Her debut 2006 album LeToya reached number one on the Billboard charts, while her acting resume includes parts in the 2010 film Killers and the TV shows Treme and For Richer And Poorer. She also owns a successful boutique, Lady L, in Houston.
"Things have worked out really well for me, and what went on with Destiny's Child in the past was purely business," she said. "I genuinely wish them every success in the future."
As for Luckett's future?"I am making new music in 2013 and will also star in an independent film Concerto alongside Janel Parish from Pretty Little Liars and Jackson Rathbone from Twilight," she said. "Destiny's Child will always be part of my past but I'm concentrating on the future and everything that it will present with an open heart."
Do you think Beyonce would ever hatch a sinister plot to keep the spotlight on herself, or is Luckett right? Tell us your conspiracy theories in the comments section.
