Spruce up your car with a set of Avenue wheels. These high-style wheels will make people understand your sense of automotive style in the best way. Who said SUVs were for soccer moms? Take your SUV or car to the next level by changing over to some Avenue rims. These high-quality rims are made in the best facilities in the industry by one of the largest wheel manufacturers in the world. Avenue wheels are designed with great care to provide stylish and sophisticated designs for today's cars.
Cruise the mean streets knowing that you're riding on the most stylish, compelling custom wheels you can find. Avenue wheels come from the same family as MKW and Bazo, and are manufactured to the highest standards. Starting with molten aircraft-grade aluminum, Avenue engineers gently push it into preheated permanent molds under pressure. This eliminates flaws and porous areas in the wheel blank, the bane of many less-well-made cast wheels.
Choose a style that complements your ride. You'll know that when you drive down the boulevard that your car or truck stands out from the crowd. With sizes from 16" to an outrageous 26" and widths from a generous 7.5" to a phat 10", you'll find a fitment that fits right, and looks great. You can find room under your stock wheel wells for some of these compelling styles, but once you start modifying your suspension or wheel wells, the sky is the limit, almost literally.

Installation was easy and I'm really satisfied with how this wheels look on my Dodge Charger!

Nice catch. I hope the snow makes a detour around my area on its way east. |
I'm a 'wurzel' who lives in South West England (UK) in the county of Somerset (next to Devon), famous for scrumpy cider, Cheddar cheese, The Wurzels (well worth going to see) & birth county of 2009 F1 world champion Jenson Button.Like the rest of the West Country, Somerset has many areas, places & landscapes worth a visit such as Glastonbury Tor & Abbey ruins, Quantock hills, West Somerset Railway, Cheddar Gorge, & Exmoor, to name but a very few.Favourite holiday destiations are Iceland (see alot of photos) & the Icehotel in Jukkasjarvi Sweden (also see photos). Still a lover of the flim camera, my first camera was an Halina 110 camera which you could buy flip flashes for! I have a Canon 3000V SLR film camera, also have some TLR cameras from the 1950's plus Canon powershot A3300 & SX150 digital cameras which are useful for close up macro shots & also makes film 'last' longer!

The same week John Edwards admitted to cheating on his wife with Rielle Hunter, Mad Men's Don Draper lost his (short) battle NOT to cheat on his wife. The comparisons are easy, if shallow — both dashing, charming, well-manicured, with wives that ooze kindness, morality, loyalty, and selfless struggle. While John Edwards does not have the luxury of his affair being fictional, Don Draper, nevertheless, remains at the top of our "Most Boinkable on TV" list. But how is it that we still have such a girl-boner for a character who not only cheats on wife, but also just had one of the more sinister moments we've seen on TV? Keep reading »

Hi there! Disclaimer: I'm VERY new to caring for house plants, and I'm still not all that good at it, so forgive me if I sound ignorant! I have a south-facing garden window in my kitchen that gets a lot of direct sunlight and also gets VERY hot during the summer. I've had some plants do wonderfully there over the winter, but during the summer, barely anything can survive. I already have some crassula capitella 'campfire,' alworthia 'black gem,' jades, and portulacaria afra 'variegata' in there, and they do OK (though not great, because I never know when to water the darn things -- succulents in hot sun?! what's the trick?! I know they like to be dry, but HOW dry?!). But I'd love to throw something a little taller and leafier into the mix for variety. I'm not much of a cactus fan. Are there any house plants that can handle direct sunlight and heat year-round? Maybe sansevieria? (Note: The photo is from winter time on a cloudy day, as you can probably tell. Just wanted to give an idea of size/spacing/etc.) Thanks in advance for any advice! |

Howdy Blabberboca, How hot does it get in summer and winter? Most people long for southern exposures. Grass is always greener. lol. Succulents love direct sun, but I'm not sure they'll adapt to super hot temps. Do you not like cactus because of thorns? Ever seen Agaves? There's some beautiful, variegated varieties. Sansevieria is a succulent. Direct summer sun might be too bright, fade leaf colors. What is the windows depth? Are you looking for a tropical to set in your window? Is that what you meant by leafy plant? Many folks enjoy growing herbs in sunny, kitchen windows. I don't do herbs, so can't advise ...hopefully someone here will chime in. By chance, do you have a ceiling fan in the kitchen? Another option is shade clothes. Shade clothes are usually placed on green houses that get too much sun. Do you keep a thermometer/hygrometer in the window? BTW, I love your garden window. |
- Posted by blabberboca none (My Page) on Sat, Sep 21, 13 at 13:38
Hi, hopefulauthor! Thanks so much for the response! I'm definitely grateful for my southern exposure -- especially in the winter! I just don't want to have to empty the window out in the summer time. :) I don't have a thermometer in the window, but it really cooks in there. I wouldn't be surprised if it gets up to 90 degrees, but I might be exaggerating. I'm not opposed to more succulents (or agaves) -- I just wanted something that wasn't ground cover, you know what I mean? All my succulents are pretty low and spread out. I'd love something a little taller for variety. I do like herbs! My basil didn't survive the summer, though. It might have made it if I'd watered it more often (like every other day), but diligence isn't my strong suit. The agave is a good suggestion, as are the fan and the shade cloth! I really appreciate it! Thanks so much! |

Hi BB, I forgot too ask. Is there a neighboring building, tree blocking your south garden window? A friend has a south garden window, but the next door neighbors; house is 30-40-feet away..So, her garden doesn't get exact direct sun. She summers a variety of plants in her window..including Orchids. I'm not an herb person, but my kitchen windows face north..not enough sun for herbs. Maybe you should invest in an inexpensive thermometer. Prarie, I used Agaves as an example..there's so many other succulent varieties. Some green, others with bi/muli-colored leaves. Flower, too. Euphorbias, 'Crown of Thorns,' is a beautiful succulent that blooms..some, year round. Kalanchoes..When you have time, Google photos. Toni |
If you are not opposed to a bit of spikiness, I too endorse the year-round blooming Crown of Thorns. I'd also suggest Rosemary which likes it on the hot side, and with pruning for the cooking pot can really form up into a lovely little tree-like house plant. I'll try to come up with a photo of my Rosemary... |
- Posted by hopefulauthor z5IL (email@example.com) on Sat, Sep 21, 13 at 16:28
Dogg, you're right about Rosemary's tree look. Every Christmas, our local store sells Rosemary. Sometimes, they add mini ornaments so it looks like a Christmas Tree.. Did you know there's a thornless, Crown of Thorns? I was sent a freebie, 'about 3" tall,' with an order. I didn't water enough so it died. Toni |
- Posted by blabberboca none (My Page) on Sun, Sep 22, 13 at 9:23
These all sound great! I love the idea of something that blooms. So far, my only blooming plant is a gasteria (though I'm crossing my fingers for a new aloe I just picked up, and hey, maybe the jades this year). Thanks so much, everyone! |
- Posted by blabberboca none (My Page) on Sun, Sep 22, 13 at 9:24
Oh, and hopefulauthor, nope - nothing blocking the window at all! I do need to put a thermometer in there. :) |

BB... Yep, please get a thermometer. It'll help. Body temps differ. For instance, my sister, Gloria is ALWAYS warm/hot, I'm the opposite, freezing. :) During winter, on holidays such as Christmas & New Year's, she runs the a/c. I'm sure your garden window area gets hot, but leave the exact temp to a thermometer. Heck, they're even sold at Dollar Stores. Gasteria blooms are pretty but don't last long..Well, at least mine don't. Depends on Gasteria type. Did you know Jades bloom? Also, what is the second plant on the lower tier? Add some flowering and fragrant plants, and variegated for color. A lot can be done in your garden window. Toni |

hopefulauthor, the second plant on the first tier is just a basil in a coffee mug. :) It's long dead now, unfortunately, but it had a good run. I did know that jades bloom, but I haven't been lucky enough to have that happen yet! I'm going to give it another shot this winter and actually follow the "what to do to get your jade to bloom" instructions. Fingers crossed! Paul, I could be totally off on the temp guess -- gotta get a thermometer to find out for sure! An orchid would be a lovely change of pace ... I'll look into it! |
And here's my crazy kitchen succulent (not sure on its exact id) that sits in our south-facing window: |
- Posted by hopefulauthor z5IL (email@example.com) on Wed, Sep 25, 13 at 15:40
Howdy All, BB. I've only had Jade blooms twice. Ironically, I think 4-6-weeks of cool temps promote blooms, but I could be wrong. Wow, your Rosemary is adorable!! I think your succulen is some type of Crassula. Then again, it might be Sedum. lol. Come spring, you should cut trunk back, then root leaves/stems. Paul, I agree. many plants live at temps in the 90's, as long as nights are cooler. Toni |
Yes, I put the Rosemary out on our south facing deck for the entire summer. By constantly harvesting its leaves for cooking, I have been able to shape it into a tree-like form I find most pleasing to the eye. It will come in and sit in a west window for the winter. I'm just going to let the crazy succulent have free reign on that window sill. Should be fun to continue to watch.... |
- Posted by hopefulauthor z5IL (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Sat, Sep 28, 13 at 10:53
Hi Dogg.. Gasterias bloom, too, so one day you might see a spike with bud growing from the center. Hopefully, your succulent will grow side stems with leaves. The only reason I mentioned staking..The plant will stand upright.. a few of my plants that grow 'crazy,' end up knocking down neighboring plants. lol. Good luck, Toni PS. Did you buy a thermometer, yet? lol. |
Always surprised by folks who can overwinter a rosemary indoors. Never succeeded myself (and understand it is actually quite difficult for most folks to do). |

Opposition politician Wijeysingha is first politician to say he's gay
Published on Jul 3, 2013 7:28 AM
Opposition politician Vincent Wijeysingha has come out as the first politician in Singapore to declare he is gay, sparking talk on whether it signals that society has moved on homosexuality.
Last Friday, he posted on his Facebook page that he was going for the Pink Dot gathering the next day. "And yes, I am gay," wrote the 43-year-old social work lecturer. "PS. And no, I don't have a gay agenda."
The latter was a reference to a controversy during the 2011 General Election, when he was fielded as a Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) candidate in Holland-Bukit Timah GRC.
The People's Action Party had highlighted an online video showing Dr Wijeysingha at a forum on gay issues and asked if he or SDP intended to pursue a gay agenda.

Verizon is already selling the new HTC One, and you can get two of them cheap as long as you don't mind signing a new contract. The buy-one-get-one-free deal on Verizon is enticing if you need two phones, but it gets even better. You can get 30% off the cost of the phone you're actually paying for.
Rather impressively, the HTC One M8 is now available online in the US from AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon Wireless. Pricing doesn't deviate too much among them, but there is enough variance to make it worth shopping around for anyone who isn't already tied down.
Verizon is making the best offer here. Price wise, the carrier will let go of the M8 for $199.99 with a two-year agreement, $25.22 a month with Verizon Edge, and $599.99 without a contract (which, by the way, is $100 less than the Google Play Edition and the lowest contract-free price of the three carriers).
While it's probably safe to assume the bulk of our readers are after the highest-end handset out when upgrade time comes, there's undoubtedly also those who need to stay on a budget. LG's Lucid was a handset that I feel like helped spark a new era for the budget market: affordable phones that don't completely suck. Verizon must've felt the same way, because the Lucid saw a sequel with last year's aptly-name Lucid 2.
Verizon's LTE version of the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition tablet is now available online. Its existence isn't a surprise following @evleaks' previous leak of the device, but today we have an official product page to point you towards. This one. You can get the tablet for $599.99 with a two-year contract or $699.99 without.
Customers who want Android tablets on Verizon's admittedly excellent LTE network tend to have only a few options, but there are two more this morning. Flagships from both LG and Samsung, the G Pad 8.3 and Galaxy Note Pro (or NotePRO) 12.2, are now available as branded Verizon devices. You can pick both of them up on the carrier website, and they should be available at retail stores either today or soon after.
Verizon's version of the Galaxy S III Mini (you know, the one with the defaced home button) is slated to receive a minor over-the-air update in the coming days, bringing along software version G730VVRUANA4. The update is indeed fairly unremarkable, updating some of that lovely Verizon bloat, removing a "never time out" feature from Bluetooth settings, adding photos to incoming calls on call waiting, and something about "enhanced device security" (probably Android security patches).
We received a tip last week suggesting that Verizon Wireless planned to release the LG G Pad 8.3 with LTE (or the LGGPLTE for short, differentiating it from the LGGPGPE) on March 6th. Today, that leak's been confirmed. Verizon has announced that the tablet will launch on said day for $99.99 with a new two-year activation, with this price lasting for the first four days of availability. After that, it will go up to $199.99.
Verizon is shaking up its prepaid plan options today, starting with a new name: ALLSET (ALL CAPS). Unlike some competitors, the basic plans start at a flat fee and the only expansion options come from Bridge data BRIDGE DATA add-on packs. The smartphone plan starts at $45 a month for unlimited voice calls and text messages, plus a somewhat paltry 500MB of data.
If 500MB seems a bit low for your prepaid data needs, you can top it up with BRIDGE DATA packs.
Verizon may have taken forever to offer the current Nexus 7, but if this leak is to be believed, the carrier won't take nearly as long to pick up the Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2. According to a leaked internal document, the tablet is scheduled to become available on March 6th. It's not alone, either. The LG G Pad 8.3 is set to launch on the same day.
As Android 4.4/KitKat updates begin rolling out to devices on all the major US carriers, one frequently asked question has to do with whether or not these devices will include Android's new "Tap and Pay" feature. This was one of the major additions in KitKat and allows almost any device with an NFC chip to be used for "tap and go" mobile payments, even if said chip doesn't have a built-in secure element.

Online direct-entry BSN/MSN programs?
0Feb 3, '13 by HenryHHi. I already have a B.S. in Biology and would like to earn a BSN or MSN. Unfortunately, there are no accelerated programs in my area, so I'd like to consider pursuing an online program. I'm aware of the University of Washington's online accelerated BSN, but are there any others?

I think it featured in the Vasque ultra running series at one point ... early Sept if I'm correct? Organised by the scouts (as were many of the original ultra races) and eminently suitable for ultra runners ... can't remember if it's an individual race or for teams but it definitely has a website. I know I've wanted to do it in past but timings meant it's not be possible for various reasons.
In fact, just rechecked website - lots of pictures of people in trail shoes etc, and some blogs on there too. Definitely doable.
Oooooh Bullock Smithy Hike! It is indeed suitable for ultra runners and there is keen competition every year between the Stockport and Macc Harriers.
In fact it is back in the RunFurther champs for this year. It will make September a tough month for anyone going for the Grand Slam with an Itinerery like this:
1 Sept Bullock Smithy
15 Sept High Peak 40
29 Sept Hardmoors 60
Personally I will probably be doing just the High Peak 40, although I do love that bit of Yorkshire coast that the Hardmoors goes along......
Damn it Roger, I would love to do all those races!
Being realistic, I will probably drop the High Peak 40, since it is in the middle and I have done it before anyway.
BD- I am one of the said Stockport runners (Morticia mentioned) who now hold the current course record.
Team and indivdual
I cannot speak highly enough of this event, it's simply brilliant, I've ran it for the last 6 years but unfortunatly can't do it this year due to my nephew getting married on the same day.

Ford Shares Hit Highest Price In 4 Years
DETROIT (AP) ¿ Shares of Ford Motor Co. hit their highest price in more than four years as the broader market rose Tuesday.
Shares of the Dearborn, Mich.-based automaker traded as high as $9.88 in Tuesday's session, their highest price since October 2005. Shares recently traded up 18 cents at $9.85.
Ford shares have nearly quadrupled in value in the year to date as the company rolled out new products like the Ford Fusion midsize sedan, cut costs and managed to avoid government aid and bankruptcy protection unlike its crosstown rivals General Motors Co. and Chrysler Group LLC.
Deutsche Bank analyst Rod Lache predicted late Monday that Ford's sales would rise 4.5 percent in December when compared with the same month last year, while GM sales would drop 16 percent and Chrysler sales would fall 19 percent. The forecasts are adjusted for two additional selling days this December compared with last year.
Lache estimated Ford's market share at 15.5 percent. Ford ended 2008 with 15 percent of the U.S. market. Overall U.S. sales for December are likely to rise 7.5 percent, Lache wrote in a note to investors. On Monday, Ford offered another round of buyout and retirement incentive packages to all 41,000 U.S. hourly workers in an effort to further cut its work force. Earlier this year, 1,000 workers took similar packages, the company said in July. Ford started 2009 with 89,000 employees in North America, but reduced that number to 80,200 as of Sept. 30 through attrition, buyouts and layoffs. Ford reported a nearly $1 billion profit in the third quarter and predicted it would be solidly profitable in 2011. Ford CEO Alan Mulally, said earlier this week that the company will continue to benefit next year from its ability to avoid bankruptcy and government aid.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

XP Power Limited: Trading Update
leading developers and manufacturers of mission critical power control
solutions to the electronics industry, is today issuing an update on trading
for the four months ended
Trading in the first four months of the current financial year has been
satisfactory and in line with expectations, with revenues being in line with
those achieved in the same period of 2008.
In line with the guidance given in the 2008 full year results statement
issued on
existing blue chip customers and the favourable benefits from a stronger US
Dollar have enabled XP to maintain revenues in line with those of 2008. In
addition strong gross margins were maintained as a result of a further
increase in the proportion of our own products in the sales mix, which, being
developed in-house and based on our own intellectual property ("IP"), are
higher margin. In line with its well-established strategy, XP has continued
to invest in research and development across its key markets – the
industrial, healthcare and technology sectors – to establish a pipeline of
class leading products which capitalise on the fundamental and increasing
demand for smaller, more efficient and more environmentally friendly power
control components.
XP Power's new flagship manufacturing facility in Kunshan,
to open this quarter. This investment is crucial not only to meet the growing
demand for higher margin products based on XP's own IP but also to secure
"approved vendor" status with our blue chip customers, a vital step in
growing revenues with them.
trading in the year to date has been in line with our expectations,
underpinned by design wins on a number of new blue chip programmes and a
stronger US dollar. Our strategy of investing in the development of our own
portfolio of XP branded products has continued to support margin growth and
the forthcoming launch of our new manufacturing facility will give us the
capacity to meet growing demand as we capitalise on the fundamental growth
drivers of our core markets."
XP Power expects to publish its interim results for the six months ending
Note to Editors
XP designs and manufactures power controllers, the essential hardware
component in every piece of electrical equipment that converts the power from
the electricity grid into the right form for the equipment to function.
XP typically designs in power control solutions into the end products of
major blue chip OEMs, with a focus on the industrial (circa 52% of sales),
healthcare (circa 22% sales) and technology (circa 26% of sales) sectors.
Once designed into a program, XP has a revenue annuity over the life cycle of
the customer's product which is typically 5 to 7 years depending on the
industry sector.
XP has invested in research and development and its own manufacturing
facility in
intellectual property that provide its customers with significantly improved
functionality and efficiency.

Chapter Eleven.
"Do you like me?" Connor asked me again.
Where was this coming from? Wasn't it just as awkward of a question for him to ask as it was for me, regardless of the situation? I tried to keep calm, keep from panicking again. I had to stop and think about this to say the right thing.
Do I like him? It's pretty obvious now, I suppose. Of course I do. In fact, I may even…
"Well, yeah. Of course I do. You're my best friend, Connor." This was my way of trying to work around the obstacle. "You're my only friend, to be completely honest with you. You've been there for me for as long as I can remember, and even after all these years of being apart, you're always there for me."
"But do you, like me like me?" He asked, sort of impatiently, grabbing a hold of my shoulders, expecting me to give him a straight forward answer right then and there.
There was no telling what would occur next, so I cautiously opened my eyes to see what his reaction was. How would he feel about discovering that his good old friend had fallen for him? For whatever reason, I expected him to feel disgust towards me, or if anything, feel confused about the whole thing. However, that wasn't the vibe I got from him.
The same way he had looked at me a minute ago, back in his car, when we had met up again after six years, and before he moved away, he looked at me now. In fact, he himself looked sympathetic towards me, like he understood how I felt, like he had known all this time.
Is it just me or…
He wasn't pushing me away. He was moving closer. He wasn't grabbing me anymore. He was holding me in his arms. He wasn't acting the way I had expected. He was doing the opposite.
"C-Connor, what… what are you doing?"
"All this time…" He whispered to himself. "All this time, I've been feeling the same."
There was no way this wasn't a dream. It was some kind of prank, a horrible, cruel, messed up prank. Any minute now he would admit it and begin laughing out loud. Or was Connor really confessing the truth?

The economics of this system is an excellent way to evaluate this system. I recently had interaction with Colle Davis, the "inventor" of the system, regarding the portable farms system. After much discussion with Colle, I decided to order his smallest system to "test the waters" so to speak. I thought it was reasonable at $1900. So, I sent him my order form. The next day, he emailed me and said that he needed me to sign an non-disclosure agreement (NDA). I thought this was a bit strange, but signed it anyway. I just wanted to get the kit and get started. Well, a day later, I had not heard back, so I emailed Colle again. No response. Finally, after two days, he emailed me back indicating that they no longer sell the kits. He said you can only get system through one of his "certified" dealers. Well, that was really strange, especially after he had happily taken all my personal information and my order! He went on about his "intellectual property" and was just flat out odd about things. Colle has no certified dealers on the east coast that are anywhere close to me. Then, in doing more research, I find out that his dealers are charging up to $5000 for the smallest system. I also found that Colle is actively recruiting dealers. He charges them $250 for a one day class to become "certified". He pays $450 commissions for each sale of the smaller unit to the dealer. The economics of this thing is just not there in my opinion. The folks at this company are not interested in anything except the green of the money, not the green of your veggies. Do your research, there are systems in Australia that cost several hundred dollars to put together. Most of the parts you would need are available at your local Tractor Supply store. I really just had a sour experience with these folks. Be careful where you spend you money. How many veggies and pieces of fish would it take to recoup your investment? |

Photo of the Week: Partnering for Impact
February 28, 2014
The Guardian highlights TechnoServe's innovative partnerships with the private sector.
In East Africa, TechnoServe is helping thousands of smallholder coffee farmers learn better farming and business practices to improve the quality of their coffee, increase their yields and raise their incomes. This type of large-scale, sustainable impact is made possible by innovative cross-sector partnerships, including collaborations with the private sector.
In a recent piece for the Guardian, Adeeb Mahmud highlights TechnoServe's approach to corporate partnerships:
NGOs bring expertise in service delivery that allows them to carry out direct interventions with individuals or local organizations more efficiently than the private sector. Working with companies such as Nespresso, TechnoServe offers training and capacity building to coffee farmers in East Africa that helps the company maintain the quality and consistency of its supply chain and increases the income of local farmers at the same time.

Le Serenity Spa is a calming massage studio owned and run by licensed massage therapist Vidalia DeLainez. Believing that massage therapy can reduce pain and help the body heal itself, she offers relaxation, prenatal, and deep-tissue modalities. Clients can also request aromatherapy and dry body brushing, which detoxifies skin.
Signature Service: Massage therapy, bodywork, spa services
Brands Used: Organic coconut oil
Established: 2003
Reservations/Appointments: Required
Staff Size: 1 person
Parking: Free street parking
Minimum Age Requirement: 18
Pro Tip: Please arrive 10 minutes early to fill out a quick one-page intake form.
A massage from Jessica Yvette is like two spa treatments in one. Jessica slathers bodies with organic coconut oil during her kneadings, which include Swedish massages or her personal favorite, lomi lomi massages. The coconut oil is primarily used to help her hands glide effortlessly over the body, but it also acts as an intensive moisturizing treatment for the skin. Plus, because it has anti-bacterial properties, it may help fight acne much more effectively than coating the back in toothpaste.
However, Jessica doesn't use the oil during every massage. Sometimes, she needs to use focused pressure to work out deep kinks, such as with her deep-tissue massages, and sometimes, her clients stay fully clothed while she stretches out their limbs, such as with her Thai massages.
When she's not reducing stress through massages, she's doing it through body-scrub sessions with aromatherapy, spa facial therapy, and reiki energy healing.
California runs through Kellie June's veins. She was born on the Central Coast, and only left briefly to get a professional skincare education and beautify models on photo shoots and fashion shows in Austin. But as soon as she returned, she quickly funneled her newfound skills into helping people in her home state. Today, she flaunts her professional techniques in rejuvenating facials and peels, elegant makeup services, and wink-boosting eyelash extensions and tinting procedures. She also excels at waxing, wielding a gentle touch and thorough post-care instructions for each of her bikini, Brazilian, body, and facial waxing services to ensure skin stays smooth and comfortable.
Face to Face welcomes visitors to relax with services that range from time-tested massage techniques to revitalizing skin care treatments. Inside, licensed aesthetician and massage practitioner Emily Robinson designs customized facials, working with each client's skin composition to bring out their most glowing visage. She also administers massages such as the holistic Shiatsu treatment, which focuses on restoring the body's natural flow of energy, also known as qi. Beyond attending ongoing courses to stay abreast of the latest skincare breakthroughs, Emily draws from background in science and nutrition that leaves her particularly suited to help skin feel as healthy as it looks.
Muscles that aren't properly maintained are prone to rebel with painful stiffness or uncontrollable spasms that make you breakdance well past curfew. That's why Massage Practitioner Paula Wood offers a wide range of massage techniques to keep the body happy. In the comfort of her private studio, Paula can promote relaxation with light to medium Swedish strokes, or use more focused deep-tissue pressure for lower-layer aches. Clients may also make use of SLO Wellness Center's many other wellness services such as chiropractic care, acupuncture, and one-on-one nutrition counseling.
From red-wine facials to grape-seed-oil massages, the vinotherapists at Vino + Therapy Spa Studio introduces wine and beer components to their soothing spa treatments, aiming to exhibit the healing and rejuvenating properties of wine and beer used during the beautification process that are said to date back as far as Cleopatra and the Romans. That?s thanks to owner Nena Benson, who draws inspiration from the vinoterapia spas popular in Tuscany. She touts the revitalizing effects of wine grapes; the acids can enhance circulation, for instance, and age-fighting antioxidants and resveratrol help strengthen delicate tissues and reduce inflammation. Beer hops, meanwhile, are rich in magnesium, zinc, and vitamins B1 and B3, and can help promote healthier skin.
Vino + Therapy Spa Studio provides a welcoming environment for beer and wine enthusiasts to sip boutique wines at the sidewalk patio before or after a variety of treatments. Travelers and locals alike can pair a day at the spa with a wine tour, during which they sample sips from the capacious cellars and naturally occurring wine geysers of several Central Coast vineyards.

GAO: Abortion-promoting groups got nearly $1 billion in federal funds
By Nancy Frazier O�Brien
WASHINGTON - Six organizations that perform or promote abortion received at least $967 million in federal funding in fiscal years 2002 through 2009, according to a new report from the Government Accountability Office.
The report, made public June 16, looked at government funding given to Advocates for Youth, the Guttmacher Institute, International Planned Parenthood Federation, Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Population Council of the United States, and Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States.
GAO had been asked for the report by Rep. Pete Olson, R-Texas, and 30 other members of Congress, including five senators.
�With the national debt over $13 trillion - costing every American $118,000 - we must apply strict scrutiny to every federal dollar allocated,� said Olson at a June 16 news conference at the U.S. Capitol.
�That this tax money is spent by organizations that offend the majority of Americans (who oppose taxpayer funding of groups that promote or perform abortions) only further justifies the need for this alarming report,� he added.
The GAO report showed the following government funding:
- Advocates for Youth, $8.7 million.
- Guttmacher Institute, $12.7 million.
- International Planned Parenthood Federation, $3.9 million.
- Planned Parenthood Federation of America, $657.1 million.
- Population Council of the United States, $284.3 million.
- Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States, $300,000.
The totals for Advocates for Youth, International Planned Parenthood, and the Sexuality Information and Education Council covered the years 2002-2009, while the totals for the other three were from 2002 to 2008.
Nearly all the reported expenditures in the report (about $942 million) were by programs administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services or the U.S. Agency for International Development. The remaining $25 million came from programs administered by the U.S. departments of Housing and Urban Development, Agriculture or Justice.
USAID also shipped �contraceptive commodities� valued at $7.6 million to affiliates of the International Planned Parenthood Federation during the time period studied, but that spending was not included in the total, the report said.
�Additionally, for federal fiscal years 2002 through 2005, complete obligation and disbursement data for awards made through USAID�s overseas-based missions were not available,� the GAO said in the report. �As a result, obligations and disbursements in this report may understate the actual amount of federal funds provided to the selected organizations and their affiliates.�
The GAO noted that during most of the time covered by the report, the Mexico City policy was in effect. It required foreign nongovernmental organizations receiving federal funds for family planning to agree that they would not actively promote or provide abortions as a method of family planning in other countries. The policy was revoked in January 2009 by President Barack Obama.
Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., said U.S. funding of �the abortion industry at home and abroad� has significantly increased since Obama�s election.
�When Obama shredded the Mexico City policy, he opened the floodgate of taxpayer funds to pro-abortion NGOs� such as the International Planned Parenthood Federation, Smith added at the June 16 news conference. �It is time for Americans and especially Congress to take a second look and defund� those organizations.
Earlier in the month, Smith, a Catholic who co-chairs the Congressional Pro-Life Caucus, expressed opposition to a Senate committee�s vote to overturn the longtime ban on abortions in military medical facilities.
�Our military facilities should be a place of hope and healing, not intentional destruction of innocent human life,� he said. �This amendment will mean that as many as 260 military medical facilities worldwide will now be in the abortion business.�
The Senate Armed Services Committee recently voted 15-12 in favor of an amendment to the annual Department of Defense authorization bill that would delete a ban on abortion in military facilities signed into law by President Bill Clinton in 1996.
Smith said he did not expect the House, which has already passed the Defense bill without the amendment, to approve the change if the legislation comes back from the Senate with the amendment.

A wildly successful alternative to traditional day spas?its more than 300 locations blanket 36 states and half a dozen countries?Planet Beach A Contempo Spa is a futuristic relaxation station where state-of-the-art machines administer all the spa and tanning services. These friendly automatons sometimes replace familiar treatments, as in the Luminous facial, a light-based service that delivers blemish-busting results similar to those of a conventional facial. But other equipment maps out new spa territory entirely: the Hydro-Derma Fusion chamber moisturizes the whole body with nutrient-rich steam in order to offset the effects of a dry climate or a rear-end collision with a salt truck. Other machines whiten teeth, spray tan skin, and massage muscles.
Planet Beach operates on a gym-style membership system, meaning that members purchase packages or pay flat monthly rates. As members spend more time at the spa, they get to know the helpful assistants who are always on hand to demonstrate how to use the equipment without activating its ability to cry.
A luxurious interior welcomes men to Weldon Barber, which blends a warm, modern aesthetic with rustic accents, such as a fireplace tucked into a stone wall. While waiting for a cut or shave, guests sink into plush leather chairs and sip complimentary coffee, cola, or bottled water while feasting eyes on a flat-screen TV or a selection of men's magazines.
During signature haircuts—the shop's bread and butter—stylists commence to pamper with a shampoo and a scalp massage before snipping away extraneous strands to craft a custom haircut inspired by a favorite celebrity or janitorial mop. A delicate detailing of brows, ears, and the nose eliminates rogue facial hairs, and a hot face towel and neck shave leave visages smooth. Clients can pair cuts with a timesaver or a signature shave to quickly and comprehensively free jawlines of five o'clock shadows. Throughout the entire andro-aesthetic adventure, stylists lavish clients with Aveda, Jack Black, and American Crew products.
The Man Shop experience begins long before clients are led to their styling chair. At this throwback men's salon with a twist, a sign on the door warns that it's "rated PG-13" for attitude, and visits begin with a game of pool, darts, or an arcade game. Once men are seated in the styling chair, they're handed a remote to their own personal TV. As they veg out in front of the tube, stylists get to work with clipper cuts, razor fades, and grey blending. The Man Shop also features classic hot-towel shaves complete with foam, moisturizers, and straight razors.
True Colors Salon's owner recently remodeled the place, adding modern texture and color to all the furnishings. Stylists perform much the same service upon peoples' hair, creating new looks for their clients. Meanwhile, therapists sooth muscular tension with massages, and technicians shape nails and paint them with unique nail art. Chazidie Lane adds even more variety to the services with her specialized skin treatments that restore moisture to winter-weather- or sun-damaged skin. She combines her facials with hair removal, shaping eyebrows or removing lip fuzz with the aid of hot wax.
