Is it OK to leave snow sitting on your deck all winter? Here's how to prevent damaging your wood or composite deck with proper preparation and maintenance.
Contractors say homeowners with this trait are the most satisfied with home improvement projects.
The old fixtures we replaced were nothing to write home about, and as a result, this simple swap has made all the difference. With Scott as my hand model, we'll show you how to install an exterior light in no time!
Angie's Answers
I agree with Jim Casper - after about 50 years of dealing with weathered wood finishing both in my homes and in the construction business, it comes down to about 90% preparation, 10% the finishing. If you do not prep the wood right, any moisture, mold, etc in the wood will destroy whatever you put over it.
High-build finishes like paint and epoxies and, from reading the Rustoleum flyer on this new product that too, work by trying to make an impenetrable surface and depend on a very good bond with the surface, AND no water getting under them. Because they are thick and are designed to provide a waterproof surface, unfortunately where water gets under them they are just as good or better at keeping it from evaporating, so you get fungal growth, blistering, and peeling.
Unfortunately, on deck and most outdoor applications except siding the surface will get nicked, scratched and otherwise develop leaks in short order. Water will therefore get into the underlying wood, and because it entered through small cracks and scratches, does not have any airflow to make it evaporate, so it sits there and breaks the finish bond to the wood (causing peeling and blisters), and promotes decay. That is why new deck boards and siding and trim that have been heavily or multi-coat painted on all 4 sides, thinking that will give the best protection, only last a few years versus the usual 10-20 years or so for boards that are painted top and sides only.
The full sun and hot conditions will, of course, cause more thann normal heating of dark colored painted decking. I had one instance where I was doing an independent appraisal of a very large commercial deck at a government facility, and in 85-90 degree daytime temps, in the sushine the chocolate brown deck surface temp was 150 degrees, and the paint was softening so much it stuck to the bottom of your shoes a couple of months after application.
As Jim said, the studies pretty clearly show that a breathable penetrating stain gives the best life, after plain ACA/CCA (copper chromium variations - the green stuff) treated wood. Penetrating stains, properly applied, do NOT seal in the moisture, they inhibit its entry and (when dark colored) help protect against sun damage to the wood and finish, but still breathe enough to let moisture escape on dry days. For my money, I will only use petroleum distillate (paint thinner cleanup) products, as they penetrate into the wood much better. Water based ones immediately start swelling the wood pores, so it blocks further penetration of the stain, which while cleanup is a bit easier, totally defeats the purpose of a PENETRATING stain or sealer.
I would recommend against any sort of waterproofing sealer, as they trap the water just like paint, and I have never seen one that is effective for 2 years.
My personal preference, though it limits the architectural coloration possibilities, is ground-contact rated copper compound treated wood (NOT the Wolmanized brown product), which comes green initially but can be retreated with either green or brown solution or can be liquid colorized darker (though not easily to a specific tone) using either of those as a base. My practice is to redo the treatment before installation to ensure thorough treatment, as from the mill it commonly has skips where boards contacted each other or where stacking seperators laid on it, and the ends are commonly very poorly done. This is done after cutting to length, as cut ends have to be retreated anyway. A simple short deck cleaner soak followed by a light pressure washing and brush or roller re-treating of ONLY the TOP surface every 10 years or so has, for me, reduced visible weathering of the boards and beams to negligible.
The product has evolved considerably since the lawsuit.
I would still do your own research and give you contractor your feedback. At the end of the day, the cost for whatever board you want will be similar.
That being said, a legitimate contractor still has operating cost which vary by area and how they run their business. I break even at $150/day not including labor and materials so I've got to charge more than that to make money. To keep the math simple, if I'm paying $250 for a pne day job in labor plus another $300 in materials and $150 operating costs I've got to charge $700 to the customer to break even. That's if I'm only doing one job a day which is why most of us manage several at a time. The point I'm trying to make is that someone with the necessary knowledge and experience to build you a safe deck is not going to be cheap. Knowledge accompanies success which costs money.
I've repaired or restructured several decks built by handymen who should find another profession. Ask yourself this question when hiring someone for this project: Would I trust this person to build my house? If the answer is no you need to find someone else. The deck is just as important. It's where your family, friends, kids are going to gather and interact. If it isn't structurally sound it can collapse causing injury or even death. One last word on decks: Always screw a deck together, don't nail it.

Deck Building reviews in Fort Dodge
The estimate from Calao was so much better than their competitors that we also decided to place flagstone on our back patio -- and all for the same estimate as some masons proposed to simply replace our stairs and walkway. Calao also recommended that we choose our stone from a local in Maryland that carried an enormous amount of beautiful stone; my wife was very pleased with the price and selection.
Making matters even easier, offered to begin the work while we were away from town over the Christmas holidays. While this took a of faith, 's professionalism and daily email updates during our absence made the process very smooth. Calao's crews completely transformed our relatively-small rowhome entrance and back patio; the crew even broke the stone by hand for our new front yard planter. The excellent quality of the masonry is apparent at first sight.
In short, if you're looking for professional, timely, reasonable stonework in the , D.C., area, choose Calao Stone. was a pleasure to work with and we recommend him and Calao without reservation."
Once they started work, it was non-stop for about three consecutive weeks. Whenever I had a question or concern, got back to me within hours with a response that was fair and professional. He stands by his work and takes responsibility for his subs.
Would definitely use him again!!

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)China to begin producing 'designer babies' in horrific scheme
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
January 16th, 2014 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) In the 1980s they were referred to as "designer babies" and became a staple of period science fiction. The idea was that someday soon, scientists would be able to manipulate the genetic code of a baby before birth to ensure that child had the right color eyes, hair, and traits that the parents wanted. It would be like ordering from an a-la-carte menu. Well, the future has arrived. LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - With the mapping of the human genome now long complete, it was just a matter of time before someone would start offering designer babies to wealthy people who could afford to pick and choose their child and its traits.The practice is set to begin in China where one firm is seeking people with certain traits in an effort to isolate their best genes and help parents pick embryos with those preferred genes. The entire notion is troubling, especially since multiple children could be created in a lab just to test and choose one. The Chinese firm, Beijing Genetics Institute (BGI) is said to be the world's largest genetic institute and reportedly already has samples of over 2,000 high IQ individuals. Scientists hope to compare their genes to those of "average" people to determine what sets the smart ones apart. Once they know, then they will know what traits to look for in an embryo. That will allow parents to pick children with high IQs, and discard the rest. The firm already has $1.5 billion from the China Development Bank. While most of the world sees this as a scandalous thing, it is hardly so in China where the vast majority of the people are accustomed for forced abortions and other harsh reproductive measures that destroy life. Amid those draconian laws, it is understandable to see that people would want the best possible child with preferred traits, including IQ, since they can often only have one. However, the entire policy in China is barbaric and a great black mark upon a society and a culture that should otherwise be praised for its many virtues and accomplishments. If successful in China, the practice is expected to spread. Pope Francis calls for your 'prayer and action'... Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) |

text: MEDFORD, Ore. – On Tuesday North Medford will host Westview in the 6A softball semifinals. It's a chance for the Black Tornado to take one step towards its third straight state championship. This year, however, North Medford is without two-time Gatorade Player of the Year, Maryssa Becker. Becker is continuing her softball career at the University of Louisville, and she did not skip a beat. Becker became the first Louisville freshman since 2000 to earn all-region honors after being named to the All-Central 2nd Team. She was also one of 25 finalists for the NFCA Freshman of the Year after leading the Cardinals' pitching staff in ERA, strikeouts and innings. On Monday, Becker sat down with NewsWatch 12's Brandon Kamerman to discuss her transition from high school to Division I, coming back to watch her former teammates and who she thinks will win the Women's College World Series.

Champion over the ghoulish attractions gracing all 18 holes at Monster Mini Golf. The two locations contain enough geometric challenges to make the course interesting for all ages. Navigate your illuminated golf ball past horrible goblins, disgruntled dark forest trees, impolite specters, and winged dragons, or just stand in awe at the 3-D spectacle. Be sure to listen for Monster Mini Golf's own in-house radio station, "W.I.R.D. (Weird Radio)," whose live, on-site DJ hands out prizes for random reasons on the links.
At Mulligan's Island Golf & Entertainment, 60 covered hitting stalls look out onto 11 acres of target areas, a sprawling configuration that helped earn the facility a spot on Golf Range Magazine's 2011 list of top 100 ranges. Golfers can use the driving range's 20 heated stalls to practice during off-season months without worrying about cooler temperatures stiffening their swings, or they can invest in lessons that use digital teaching methods such as computerized swing analysis to lower handicaps. A USGA-rated course tests participants with nine holes of regulation-size golf, while an 18-hole pitch-and-putt short course and two mini-golf courses help golfers calibrate aspects of their short game. The practice mecca also tests swings at 10 batting cages that feed baseballs and softballs at adjustable speeds to suit both little leaguers and professionals fishing for compliments.
With 160 driving range tees, 72 miniature golf holes, and 16 batting cages spread across its three locations, Golf Country provides ample opportunity for visitors to hone all aspects of their swings. Each driving range features overhead lights for practicing after the sun goes down for the evening, as well as a number of covered, heated tees that allow for practice when the sun goes down forever. The Easton and Saugus locations offer one 18-hole miniature golf course apiece, while the Middleton location showcases two courses. Nicknamed the Millpond Course and the Stone Bridge Course, Middleton's miniature tracks meander through large flower beds, flowering trees, and ample water features.
A deep breath of fresh air awaits at Putts & More, where a green and tranquil setting fosters family-friendly recreation. Leafy bushes flourish around the runways of an 18-hole course where players focus on sinking tricky putts or casting a distracting shadow in their opponent's line of sight. Alongside the course, guests can peruse the farm stand?a joint effort between Putts & More and other community groups?to get locally grown flowers, fruits, and vegetables, or they can always nab hot dogs and candy at the snack bar.
Looking to put a new spin on a classic family activity, the minds behind Glowgolf decided to give the game a phosphorescent update. Incandescent courses place friends and family amid a tropical-fantasy golf world of neon orange, green, and violet surroundings. Players putt luminous orbs through vibrant treasure chests and glimmering windmills while negotiating tricky obstacles near walls portraying black-light-lit aquatic scenes. With more than 20 locations spread over 10 states, Glowgolf's fluorescent labyrinths challenge human players and traveling gnomes.
In golf, the tee shot is the one constant, the one point on each hole in which the golfer is in total control. With Windmill Hill Golf Course's nine-hole, par three layout, the tee shot takes on added significance, so players must take full advantage of their ability to position the ball freely, tee it up, or decorate it with glitter-glue before taking aim at the flagstick. The course's holes range from 116 to 218 yards in length, so golfers need to unsheathe a number of different clubs throughout the round. In addition to its scaled-down course, Windmill Hill offers a grill room with a bar, TVs, and an outdoor deck that overlooks the links.

When you're in a fender bender, what's the one thing you shouldn't do post-accident? Not surprisingly, it involves social media!
According to the blog Daily Finance, insurance adjusters investigating your claim are going to be all over social media and the search engines to develop a digital dossier on you.
You may have heard about this with people who were faking long-term disability being caught because pictures of them doing crazy athletic things surface online. Now it's come to auto insurance.
Sometimes the result is great as fraud rings are busted when adjusters see the victim and the supposed guilty party being good buddies on social media. The point is what you post on social media will be used against you in any claim or court case.
Meanwhile, Edmunds.com says that insurers are now trying to build a dossier of what kind of driver you are based on videos and pictures they find on your social media profiles.
If you show a photo of yourself at a bar parking lot, they'll cast aspersions and try to say that you may have been tipsy because you like going to bars. I'm not kidding. Insurers don't want to pay, right? So they want to be extremely aggressive with the reviews.
The best advice for you is the advice I've given to teens: Never post anything on social media you wouldn't want Grandma to see. Now you'll have to start thinking of insurance companies as Grandma!

EFFINGHAM, S.C. - Authorities say a drunken driver has hit and killed a man mowing his lawn in Florence County.
Troopers said a pickup truck crossed the two-lane highway around 6:30 p.m. Thursday and hit the man outside his Effingham home.
The coroner's office says 35-year-old Juan Ortuno died at the scene.
Authorities say the driver of the pickup, 28-year-old Christopher Powell of Florence, is charged with driving under the influence resulting in death and child endangerment because there was a child in his pickup truck at the time of the crash.
Powell remains in the Florence County jail. It wasn't known if he had an attorney.

"i Profumi di Firenze's cult bestseller Vaniglia del Madagascar now also comes infused with fresh fig. Jasmine, white musk and a hint of dark chocolate add to the deliciousness! Notes of vanilla orchid, fig, jasmine, white musk and dark chocolate."
I actually don't like Vaniglia del Madagascar (smells like cloying, burnt sugar and cheap suntan lotion on me), but I like Vaniglia e Fichi. I honestly might not even guess that this is supposed to be related to Vaniglia del Madagascar.
I love the soft, delicate, creamy sweetness of the fig note in this blend. I don't know how to describe the smell of fig, really, because it's not exactly a fruity smell to me. But this smells like fig drizzled in vanilla cream.
Jasmine is an iffy note for me, but the jasmine and white musk here smell clean and sunny. It's a bit like a clean laundry scent, but it doesn't smell cheap or really soapy to me. I don't get the dark chocolate note at all.
So, Vaniglia e Fichi is like sitting out in a garden on a sunny summer day, clad in a clean sundress and enjoying a snack of figs and vanilla cream. It's very girly and pretty to me.

EDIT: At first, it kind of made the acnes fade. But more frequently and/or regularly I used, it gave rashes and made my skin really dry. I stopped using it, and my skin gets better. :)
This product seems to have a lot of reviewers either loving it or hating it! I was a bit iffy about purchasing it because of such polarised reviews but thought I'd give it a try when I got a particularly irritating pimple.
To be honest, I was really surprised. My skin is horribly dry most of the time and usually pretty reactive. It'll be dried out by anything that is even slightly drying and react to anything that has the smallest chance of causing a reaction. So from the numerous reviewers who said the product left them with dry patches and the 'if irritation occurs discontinue use' warning on the bottle, I was very apprehensive and expected the worst.
So the surprise was that I didn't have an episode of contact dermatitis or even get the smallest flake of dry skin. I guess that's a mixture of luck and the product being weaker than expected.
I applied the oil on top of two layers of moisturiser and coconut oil each night and the spot went down in about three days (not much shorter than the usual). I also used in on a few other tiny spots which seemed to have gotten better - but then they usually do that on their own.
All up, I'm giving it a three because it worked ok. Nothing fantastic and it wasn't the magical miracle for me that it was for others. It didn't have any bad side effects but neither did it make any spots magically vanish super quickly and without a trace - (I was left with a tiny scar from the aforementioned spot but I think it may be a bit lighter than usual).
Also, as a massage oil, it was pretty rubbish. The Body Shop website recommends using 6 drops but that was used up over a small area and became quite 'dry' so I had to add coconut oil too. The smell is also not really for everyone - bit too strong for my liking.
I have acne prone, oily, combination skin.
It doesn't work for me. It doesn't make my skin worst but it doesn't make my skin better either. The smell is just, annoying, maybe for some people it's good, but for me, really, I don't like the smell.
I heard a lot of people who find this tea tree oil works, so I think it's worth a try!
I get a lot of pimples so i will love it for them to heal fast. I thought this will help but it didn't. I was reading the ingredients its only about 15%(not exact) tea tree oil so basically its not 100% tea tree oil which sucks because when i bought this i thought I was buying the real thing. Anyways didn't work on the pimples.

This product is really weird. Let me explain why. I got some acne and I put it on them. It dried out the acne along with my good skin. Then 2 weeks later I got new acne, I put it BUT it actually worsened the acne problem, I got more acne by using it. It works if you haven't been using it for a long time. If you use it constantly it increase the acne. I don't know why but now I keep my bottle just to use when I have a very serious acne. For constant use I discovered some real gems in my country, namely: Oxy10 (USA), Prettiean L'Acne (French product produced by STYLECOSMO INTERNATIONAL), Royalsense Acne Gel (Cindamycin (as phosphate) 10mg) produced by Sinphar Pharmaceutical Co in Taiwan.
I am a 36 year old woman who has battled cystic acne for the better part of the past fifteen years. I would get a cyst about every month - or more often - and that would usually result in an awful scar.
Two months ago, I hit rock bottom with my skin. All of the prescription treatments over the years had not worked, so my last option - or so I thought - was Accutane. I called my derm, made the appointment to get Accutane (which I had to wait 2+ months for), and kind of gave up.
In that moment, I decided to scrap all the prescriptions (a medicine cabinet full of them), and try something all natural before giving Accutane a go. I went to The Body Shop, and after chatting briefly with a salesgirl, decided that their pure tea tree oil was worth a try. (She told me that it would help my scarring, which I had never heard associated with tea tree oil before.)
Two months later, I can tell you that this is the ONLY product that has worked for me, and it's AMAZING. My worst areas - t-zone - are resembling normal skin for the first time in fifteen years. Scars are shrinking, healthy pores are reappearing, there's been little to no irritation... honestly, it feels like a bit of a miracle cure. I feel confident about my skin for the first time in my adult years.
I apply it twice daily with a q-tip, and just the other day it dawned on me that I haven't had to deal with a cyst in the two months that I've used it... a first for me, again, in years. I get the occasional small pimple, which I actually celebrate (!) because to me, that's the sign of healthy skin. I never had small pimples before... just gigantic skin infections.
I can't say enough about this product. If you are reading this and you're contemplating taking big invasive steps to resolve your cystic acne, please go out and buy this tea tree oil and give it a try first. I'm not sure if I'm just fortunate that it is working so well for my skin, but I'd like to think that this product has the ability to work wonders for others who have struggled in the same way that I have.
Needless to say, I cancelled my appointment with my derm. :)
Good luck!

Ever since I started using this product, my blemishes and pimples got heaps better. i used to break out real bad, the one that grows under the skin, really painful, and doesn't resolve easy. they last forever to heal too and when they do, they still leave marks. i learned about this product and decided to give it a try. i've been using it for 5 months now and my face cleared up! The worst I get now are tiny bumps which doesn't grow to become a pimple and my blemishes are all clearing up now. it's a good product to include in everyday skin care and i'll keep on using this. one bottle ($10 AUD) lasts me less than 2 months.

This is the first tea tree oil product I've ever used and now I'm a believer! I had a big cyst-like pimple deep under my skin that didn't go away for weeks. Just a few hours after the first application, I noticed the lump became significantly smaller. I was shocked by how fast it worked. I used the oil another three times and after that the pimple completely disapppeared. I've had the same experience when I've applied it to other breakouts. I don't use it daily. I just keep it around when I notice the early stages of a breakout and apply it to that specific area. It really controls the oil and minimizes the breakout. Results can be seen after just one or two applications. It stings a little, but I figure that's just the oil working, the way an antiseptic gel would sting on a cut.

I was sent a sample of this with a recent order. I've heard of TTO, but never used it.
By chance, I happened to have a pimple that kept lingering around as well as a couple red bumpy spots on my chin below each side of my mouth. I decided to dab some on these areas, figuring it wouldn't hurt and at worst it wouldn't do anything.
Wow, after a couple days of doing that twice a day all of those areas cleared up...redness and all! I will def. be buying a normal bottle of this when the sample runs out. I looked up TTO and there's so many uses for it, it's incredible. This is going to be a mainstay in my medicine cabinet from now on.

Moscow Man Can't Wait For Summer Weather

Good morning. I'm David Greene with news of a lot of flawed forecasts.
Last week we told you how Punxsutawney Phil is getting flak for predicting an early spring. Well, as winter grinds on in much of the world, a man in Moscow has his own grudge. He was picketing Moscow's Hydrometeorological Center, wearing swimming trunks and holding a sign that read: Let Summer Come Faster. Russian forecasters now predict that everything will thaw fast, adding: We're meeting him halfway.

Thank you, Riot! I knew I made a good choice when I picked up Annie a month ago.
Junior Member
Soooo when is it released?
Senior Member
No more Annie Pantyshots? That's relieving... I guess.
The Hellsage
First thing I can really think of when I see this: About damn time she got an upgrade, but isn't she only supposed to be 6-8 years old? If I had to wager a guess, she looks closer to 10 or 11 in the upgrade. Maybe Riot's just decided to age her appropriately.
Nice <3
to everyone complaining about how goth just became the best... did any of you stop to consider how expensive goth was?... it was part of a like what? 20-30$ bundle.. and yet before this is was a simple color change.. that was it... so yeah it needed near legendary detail.. thats what it cost.
The Aviatrix
Ugh. I wanted Goth Annie when I first saw her - but didn't want to spend the RP. Now I want Goth Annie even more. But 2600 RP for a 975-level skin, 8 champions I don't care about and some runes I don't need atm... (2600 after the RP you get from the pack) Are there any chances of the Digital Collector's Edition being discontinued? I know a while ago somebody had said there was a chance that bundle prices would be reduced based on what you may already own in the bundle - is this in the works? Will the CE still be available when it's implemented? I really have enough Annie skins given I hardly play her... Why do I keep wanting to buy them? I can't wait to see Annie in Wonderland though That skin is the reason why Annie was one of my first champions and I'm thrilled to have it as is due to the recent sale. PS - Also can't wait to see the Red Riding Hood Annie's Tibbers. Since all Tibbers are now different. That was one hope when purchasing that skin xD The remake would change Tibbers.
Im not a big fan of Annie's new look....I guess it'll grow on me. The animations are nice, and Tibbers is frikken amazing xD
Black OpaD
This looks good. I'll be playing Annie alot more after this update. (Yeh, I don't like playing ugly champs to much XD) But why is she burning Fizz? We all know ffire types are not very effective against water types. She should be burning Maokai. >.>

Spar's profit growth slows
Comment on this storyJohannesburg - Spar, a South African food and liquor retailer, said first-half profit growth slowed to 9.4 percent as demand for liquor and building materials failed to offset slower food sales.
Net income rose to 642.9 million rand in the six months through March from 587.6 million rand a year earlier, the Durban-based company said in statement today.
Profit by this measure climbed 13 percent in the first-half of fiscal 2013.
Sales increased 7.6 percent to 25.6 billion rand.
"Trading conditions remain tough with ongoing pressure on consumer spending due to rising unemployment, increasing household debt and interest rates," the company said.
"Mine strike action has affected trading in certain rural regions through reduced disposable income."
Spar sales of liquor and building products grew in double-digits, while food suffered from tougher competition, the company said. It declared an interim dividend of 1.95 rand a share, 8.9 percent higher than a year earlier.
South African retail sales growth slowed to 1 percent in March, from 2.3 percent the previous month, as high unemployment and inflation curbed spending. - Bloomberg News

United Steelworkers Union Reaches Deal With Goodyear, Calls Off Strike
The United Steelworkers Union has reached an agreement with Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company that will avoid a strike at several facilities across the country, including the Goodyear plant in Fayetteville.
The negotiations were over a four-year labor agreement for 8,500 hourly employees at six plants. Terry Brewington is Vice president of the Fayetteville office of United Steelworkers. He said his union was fighting for cost of living raises, more vacation time for new hires and increased wages for people hired after 2006.
He also said he was very worried about the potential for a strike.
"I was extremely concerned for a lot of our members," Brewington says. "A lot of our members are younger people. And we had people that we just hired this week. It's hard to go weeks without a paycheck."
For now, employees will continue to work under an old contract until the new agreement is ratified. That should take about two to three weeks.

Readers' Choice: Five favorite pregnancy splurges
Page 3 of 3
5. Creams, oils, and home pampering supplies
"The things I splurged on during this pregnancy (my second) were comfort supplies. I learned the first time that it was worth it and that I am worth it! Bath and Body Works' lavender bubble bath, massage oil, lotion, pillow mist, and more. I also got lots of candles and pillows, and spent a few extra bucks on some comfy maternity clothes. This pregnancy has been a lot more comfortable than the first one. Plus, with a 2 1/2-year-old, I need all the relaxation time I can get. Why not make it count?" — Jessica
"I splurged on Aveda Beautifying Composition Oil to rub on my belly. I love the feel of the oil on my skin after a shower, and the scent lifts my spirits. I paid about $20 for the 2-ounce bottle from an Aveda Concept Salon." — Sandy
"I splurged on Vichy stretch-mark cream and massage bars. I have no idea if they will work. However, they smell wonderful, and it's fun for my husband and me to rub them on 'the belly.'" — jean genie55

Recently, Google announced it was working on a new program that could eliminate all images of child pornography and child abuse from the Internet.
As part of the $5 million initiative, the Internet giant is creating a technology that will be able to identify the images and filter out the sites that contain them from showing in search results. The program works by tagging offending images with unique IDs and "fingerprints" so computers can later recognize them without humans having to view the images.

The lively dance instructors at GoDiva Studio impart the rhythm to burn calories in a variety of sweat-manufacturing, 60-minute dance classes, which may incorporate dance poles, thumping hip hop beats, and entrancing Latin melodies. The GoSensual Flex class blends hot dance moves with serene yoga and Pilates techniques to improve balance and set chakras to conga; the GoOpen class for all skill levels hones the pole-dancing maneuvers of flirtatious flag-imitators. During Virgo's GoVixen class, stiletto-clad students boogie to the latest radio jams, and Eve guides the Latin footwork of the GoZumba class with agility and aplomb.
At Movement Journeys, the experienced staff teach a wide variety of classes, including belly dance, Pilates, and Ashtanga yoga. The outfit balances out its workout fare with jazz, Zumba, and ballroom-dance classes designed to help students stimulate their creativity and move in different ways. They offer most classes in levels that range from beginner to virtuoso and age groups that range from 13 years of age to seniors, ensuring every student learns at a comfortable pace.
Sharron Miller has devoted her life to dance. She attended the Juilliard School and worked with the director of the Garden State Ballet. After completing her training, she danced as a soloist for the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater and appeared in seven Broadway shows. Sharron also taught at Renaissance Middle School for 13 years, where her dance and drama program for youth was praised by the State of New Jersey. Today, as the founder of Sharron Miller's Academy for the Performing Arts, she shares the skills she acquired throughout a lifetime in the arts with students from all walks of life.
SMAPA is a not-for-profit organization that provides classes in jazz, ballet, tap, and modern dancing for students of all ages. SMAPA's skilled faculty members teach hundreds of students every year and conduct outreach to the community, engaging youth in the arts through school programs and impromptu performances in the daydreams of teenagers.
As an actress, model, and recording artist, Caprice Burrell is no stranger to the spotlight. But it's as a fitness instructor and CEO at Alter Ego Pole Fitness & Wellness Studio where she truly gets to shine. Burrell's positive attitude fosters a supportive, nonjudgmental environment in which women can confidently unleash their inner vixen. In addition to a range of ladies-only pole-dancing lessons, the posh studio hosts ab-toning and Zumba sessions, along with special events and parties where revelers celebrate birthdays, weddings, or pole-welding certifications with sweets and champagne.
Battista Dance Studio's experienced instructors teach students of all ability levels a variety of dance moves, including ballroom and club-style salsa. Learn to bust your best boogie in a one-on-one setting during two 30-minute lessons, prepping left feet for professional dance competitions and everyday ballroom bopping. Lessons take place inside a sprawling, chandelier-adorned 12,000-square-foot studio, where aspiring Astaires can cut a hardwood floor—but only if they repair it afterward.
Josefina Garcia and Lisa Martinez have been studying dance since they were each 5 years old. Together, they started J and L Dance Center in 1992 to pass on their know-how and instill a strong sense of self-worth in each of their protégés. These days, they usher students to win awards and recognition at showcases and competitions throughout the country. Newbies of all ages train under these masters and a crew of skilled instructors who specialize in a range of genres including ballet, tap, hip-hop, flamenco, and jazz styles. Wood-sprung floors in all three dance rooms cushion the fall of toes and feet in flight, and wall-to-wall mirrors throughout the space enable students to dance-battle their reflections.

Then something odd happened in 2002. Milt Robson, a car collector from Atlanta, put a classified advertisement in Hemmings Motor News for his blue, 1971 'Cuda convertible with a Hemi V-8 engine and a four-speed manual transmission, one of just two such cars built by Plymouth that year. Robson asked $1 million for it, and he got his money. Muscle car sales have been on fire ever since, and now a handful of selected cars have cracked the million-dollar mark, or what Comer calls "the two-comma barrier."
Yet Comer thinks there's more to the muscle car craze than just a speculative frenzy such as the boomlet in Ferrari values that followed the death of Enzo Ferrari in 1988. Comer notes: "Everybody who is into these cars either remembers driving them or wants to find out what they missed. The big thing is, there's lots of things to do with them. In Milwaukee, which shouldn't be the heartland of car enthusiasm, we have four cruise nights each week, not to mention rallies. A muscle car is different from other collectibles, because you get to actually use it in the way it was meant to be enjoyed. And there's something reassuring about knowing that if something breaks, you can walk to the local parts barn, buy fifty bucks' worth of parts plus a nine-sixteenths-inch wrench, and get going again in an hour. A guy can pop the hood on a Sunday, gap the points and set the timing, feel like he's at one with his machine, and then spend the rest of the day driving."
Beginning in the early 1990s, Comer would drive to Arizona, load a bunch of rust-free cars on a semi, and then bring them to Milwaukee, where he'd restore and sell them. But those days are gone, he says. The Internet and eBay have revolutionized things, so there are no diamonds in the rough to be found while looking through the AutoTrader or cruising the Pomona Swap Meet. "Only five percent of all the muscle cars are really desirable," Comer says, "and eighty percent of the buyers want that five percent."
Since the odds of finding greatness are so poor, some newbie muscle car enthusiasts sink their money into less desirable cars in rough condition, figuring a restoration will help it reach top value. But, as Comer explains, you just can't get there from here. "You can't buy a pig in a poke and hope to restore it to prime condition," Comer says, "If you see a certain car that's worth $100,000, you can't start with one that's worth $60,000 and get there. A top-class restoration takes 1000 hours of labor, plus parts. That's about $65 per hour in labor, and parts as simple as chrome trim can cost $5000."
Fortunately, good investment-grade cars do come to market, although they emerge slowly. The trouble is that car auctions can be scary for amateurs, with lots of pressure to buy and little opportunity to figure out just what you're buying. There are plenty of car brokers, but many of them specialize in a quick coat of resale-red paint and a fast fifteen percent commission (five to ten percent is the reputable rate).
Comer suggests that you take care to determine exactly what it is you're buying. Do your homework, then do the math. "There's no reason to think that you're on the outside looking in," Comer says. "Thousands and thousands of cars were built, and some of the best cars to own and drive are actually the most affordable ones. Auction results are the best guides to muscle car values. Just remember that a car with a four-speed manual transmission is always worth about 25 percent more than a car with an automatic."
Rarity is the prime directive, of course, just as it is for any collectible. Ironically, the bewildering num-ber of options with which muscle cars were equipped en-sures that rare combinations can be ob-tained relatively readi- ly. If lots of options are included, it's also likely that the car in question was built in low numbers.

Sagacity commented on the blog post Murkowski Has Remorse Over Blunt Amendment
Our leaders have no principles except "more cash for re-election." They don't even realize that they are admitting they have no principles. At least Lisa seems to have finally figured out she let people down, but her explanation is ….???
Sagacity commented on the blog post National Organization for Marriage slapped down by the Supreme Court
If NOM is sued to identify their funding sources, then they will have to do it. Law enforcement may not care, but citizens groups do. I look forward to learning who is funding NOM–I predict it is largely one or two persons.
Sagacity commented on the blog post Rick Perry: I'm Being Attacked by Other Republicans Because I'm a Christian
These version of Christians never tire of claiming the victim mantle. Actually, I think the Perrys are just doubling down on their attacks on Romney for being a Mormon by doing this; they are reminding all those right wing Christians that they are the hoiler-than-thou Christians and what better way to do it than talk about being persecuted for being a Christian. They all relate to that.
I so hope this campaign brings an end to Perry.
Sagacity commented on the blog post Lobbyist Money Flows for Catfood Commission Members
We the people need to find a way to sue and discredit the bill that created this bullshit committee. The American people don't accept the groundrules for this committee. More than 80% say no cuts to Medicare and Socail Security yet this committee is determined to do just that. I don't think many Americans realize that. Can any lawyers look at that bill and figure out a way to bring a class action suit or any other kind? I don't know any other way to stop them.
Sagacity commented on the blog post Looks like Rick Perry is Running for President
As a resident of Texas, I'd like the world to know that we can't go any lower Rick "Goodhair" Perry. Even more arrogant and dumb than W. But it might at least be entertaining, if it weren't the fate of the world and all.
Sagacity commented on the blog post Want to Score Candidates in 2012 for FDL? Call Me Now!
I like that one issue idea. That is partly what makes the NRA so powerful. I think our issue should be Social Security. We need to make "grand bargains" by the ruling elite impossible.
Sagacity commented on the diary post Success! Obama is a Republican Bus Ad in D.C. Funds. by figaro.
I think most great movements have to start somewhere and great theatre is a good place to start. I love Figaros' bus ad. If we keep finding ways like this to show that neither party stands for the people, even the village elite will have to start "discussing" it as an issue. Once that starts [...]
Sagacity commented on the diary post Success! Obama is a Republican Bus Ad in D.C. Funds. by figaro.
Yeah, and unfortunately, most "independents" are just low information voters, people who only tune in to what's going on in an election year. I don't blame them for paying so little attention–I wish I could do that and live more stress free–however, they are susceptible to all the Madison Ave crap thrown at them by [...]

Bernie Sanders. Taken much more seriously than Nader or Kucinich, both of whom I distrust a lot.
Sagacity commented on the blog post Yes, Making Patients Consumers Is a Bad Idea – One Obama and Krugman Previously Cheered
I don't know about the excise tax and I can't really argue the details of what Krugman supported in health care, but I know he supported Hillary over Obama in 2008 because he trusted her on health care more. He's not perfect but he's one of the strongest voices in the Times and among talking heads for the real needs of the people.
Sagacity commented on the blog post Yes, Making Patients Consumers Is a Bad Idea – One Obama and Krugman Previously Cheered
As a frequent reader of Paul Krugman's columns and blog, I have to say that he was not ever cheering on this concept. He was a frustrated as most of us that Obama abandoned the "public option" without even trying. Krugman supported the Affordable Health Care Act as "all we're going to get" and he thought it would be worse if nothing came out the opportunity. I think he would support single-payer if it were possible.
Sagacity commented on the blog post Obama Tries to Re-Engage on Budget with 9 Days Until Government Shutdown
They also need a PR plan to explain to the American public what is going on and why we're going to have this government shutdown. And we are going to have one. In my state gov't (an extremely red state), they are working hard to make sure all the stimulus money left is obligated because they know the House GOP is planning to make the sweeping of the remaining stimulus the bottom line for the House or they'll shut things down. I think they are planning to go ahead and shut the gov't down because they think they can win the PR battle since the White House doesn't seem to care.
I will be furloughed by my state when this happens (funding for my position is federal). And I suspect a lot of other folks will in lots of places.
Sagacity commented on the blog post Early Morning Swim: Rachel Maddow Reports on Egypt's Shut Down of Al Jazeera
I once got see Al-Jazeera live in Arabic at a hotel in Houston that catered to the oil companies, I guess. It was in the early days of the Iraq war, and though I didn't understand a word, I was profoundly impressed. It looked more like a war than anything I had seen up until then. It made me realize how sanitizing our corporate media is–when they deign to show or tell us at all.
Sagacity commented on the blog post More on the Economy in 2011 – Republicans Let Their Slip Show
Coburn says, "Chris, the history of Republics is they average 200 years of life, and they all fail in history over fiscal matters." Everything they say makes me chuckle anymore. Where is the list of republics that failed in 200 years? I thought the USA was the first ever "republic" and we've only been around 230ish years. So how can there be this history that shows an "average" of 200 years?
Really, it's empires that fall and they often fall because of military overextension. Hmmm, that wouldn't be anything like us, woud it?

text: BODY OF WORK: The latest exhibition at photographer Nick Knight's SHOWstudio shop and gallery space in London's Mayfair takes an unflinching look at the body and its role in fashion and art. The show, called "Inside/Out," takes the body and the idea of "abject beauty" as its starting point. Some of the pieces on show include a film of Lady Gaga devouring an animal heart shot by Knight and Ruth Hogben, a white dress by designer Marko Mitanovski which was worn by Gaga — on which the artist Puking Millie has vomited green-tinted milk — and a Marilyn Minter film showing a model's tongue licking sweets and cake mixture. "The body is something that captivates the art and fashion world alike," said Carrie Scott, director of the SHOWstudio Shop. "We wanted people to look at different conventions of beauty…we're not just saying the girl in the magazine is beautiful — there's more to it than that." The show runs through Aug. 14. After that, Scott said the gallery's next show in September would look at dolls, with pieces by Viktor & Rolf and a collaboration between designer Peter Jensen and artist Laurie Simmons. "Dolls have fascinated people for ever and ever….It's going to be like an army of dolls in here," said Scott.

New Living Translation (NLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
7 Well then, am I suggesting that the law of God is evil? Of course not! The law is not sinful, but it was the law that showed me my sin. I would never have known that coveting is wrong if the law had not said, "Do not covet." | 7 What shall we say, then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed I would not have known what sin was except through the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, "Do not covet." |
