I am not calling you a liar, I really am not, but I simply find that nearly impossible to believe. Maybe on specials at certain times, but...
A regularly priced Whooper at $1 would put any BK, anywhere in the US, out of business. Maybe 10+ years ago, but not a year ago, or anything even remotely close to that.
As well, no owner worth their salt is going to regularly price a Whopper jr. a penny less than the Whooper.
Depends on what time you get them. During rush hour, an hour before close, or right when they open...a Whooper is better. Any other time, jr.'s are better.
The reason? Years ago BK implemented a new policy where they precook their burgers, fridge them, and reheat to order, microwaved on the bottom bun. Do you have any idea how farking disgusting that is? Microwaved on the bottom bun? WTF are they thinking?
So the Whooper just has too much gross, microwave induced grease saturating the bottom bun.
Farking idiots. Whooper has been the best FF burger on the market forever.
Same thing at Wendy's. The Big Classic was right there with the Whooper, until they switched from the kaiser roll to that shitty 7/11 quality bun.
Hate to say it, but I think the Big Mac is now king.

Does Burger King still sell Whoppers for breakfast? I remember 15-20 years ago getting 2 @ $1 each before work.
Saw that on movie called Smash the other day. Great movie. Slow, but good.
One of the main characters was reminiscing on growing up poor. She said her mom used to get 20 of the 29 cent hams on Monday, and 20 of the 39 cent cheeses on Wednesday, or whatever. And then freeze them.
Not sure if they still do. I worked nights and used to go through at 7:30 in the morning and get dinner. Loved that they did that.
i'd rather make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich at home, than eating that very low quality industrial-mass made meal.
Slickdeals.. a dying community || being poor is spending 10 hours a day on slickdeals waiting for a price mistake sale so you can own something decent to show off
what kind of money are they going to make if people still complains full size sandwiches being $2.50 each?
I only eat BK at university food court these days.
prices slightly higher (like airports) than standalone stores, but I like it better since food is always fresh.

looked after children
Congratulations to the five teams that have been selected to take part in the Relationships Matter JAM. Teams are from: Care Visions, Falkirk Council, Hot Chocolate Trust, Includem and Kibble.
Food for Thought is an ESRC-funded project led by Ruth Emond, Samantha Punch and Ian McIntosh of the University of Stirling. A website of resources has been launched today as part of the project, which includes food-based training, assessment and intervention tools for carers of looked after young people.
The evidence This IRISS Insight reviews the evidence about how food practices affect children in different care settings, drawing heavily from the experience of children in foster and residential care. However, many of the issues explored here have similarities to the experience of adults supported by social services and carers, so the Insight may also be of interest beyond those working with children.
This Insight was written by Ruth Emond, Ian McIntosh,Samantha Punch (University of Stirling) Claire Lightowler (IRISS)
Learning with Care, published by by HM Inspectors of Schools and the Social Work Service Inspectorate in 2001, highlighted the importance of improving the learning and development opportunities for those working with looked after children and care leavers. The Learning with Care training materials were developed and launched in 2003.
Eddie talks about how Aspire Scotland has adapted IRISS's Leading for outcomes: children and young people guide as part of their online training for staff.
With the support of Gavin Sinclair, Creative Arts Development Officer and Scottish screen actor, Daniel Portman, two young people from Kibble have written a ten minute play called 'Please Listen', which explores the highs and lows of a life in care. The play explores issues such as being moved from home to home and having little control over your own life, but ultimately focuses on the strengths of young people and their ability to trust, care, develop their talents and reach their potential if given the chance.
Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE), with the support of Voice, the Who Cares Trust and the Fostering Network, has produced a website that informs looked-after children and young people on what care, supports and choices are available to them. Info 4 Care Kids has been developed in partnership with children and young people, so the voices of these individuals underpin the shape and content of the resource.
Edwina Grant, an independent psychologist and Chair of Scottish Attachment in Action, introduces a meeting of SAIA on 16 March 2012 with a discussion of the importance of physical and emotional safety and 'the dance of attunement'.
Mary McKenna (independent social work consultant) examines key aspects of managing contact, looking after a child's needs, the purpose of contact, assessing key relationships and the legal context.
Gillian Henderson and Malcolm Schaffer from the Scottish Children's Reporter Administration (SCRA) talk about recent research into the care and permanence planning for looked after children in Scotland. Working to fill a gap in evidence and to inform changes in policy and law through the Scottish Government's Looked After Children Strategic Implementation Group, the SCRA research team analysed the content of both SCRA and court records to map decision-making, placements and time taken to permanence for 100 children.

Frank A. Bennack Jr., CEO of Hearst Corp. and a San Antonio native, was inducted into the Texas Business Hall of Fame on Tuesday, along with Houstonians Douglas L. Foshee and John L. Nau III.
Foshee, owner of Sallyport Investments LLC, was CEO and chairman of pipeline giant El Paso Corp., and Nau is president and CEO of Houston-based Silver Eagle Distributors, the nation's largest distributor of Anheuser-Busch products.
Todd Wagner, CEO of Dallas-based 2929 Entertainment, and Donald Adam, chairman and CEO of College Station-based holding company The Adam Corp./Group, were also inducted.
"All of these gentlemen represent the best of Texas," said broadcast journalist Dan Rather, who served as the event's master of ceremonies and is from Wharton.
Bennack, who hosted radio and television programs as a teenager in San Antonio, ascended the ranks of Hearst, one of the nation's largest diversified media and information companies. The New York-based company owns more than 200 newspaper, magazine, television and Internet businesses, including the Houston Chronicle, and has some 20,000 employees.
Before beginning his first tenure as CEO in 1979, Bennack served as executive vice president and chief operating officer of Hearst. Before that, he was vice president and general manager of the Hearst Newspaper Group after serving in a variety of management roles, including a seven-year stint as publisher and editor of the San Antonio Light from 1967 - when Bennack was 34 years old - to 1974.
"He has attained every realm of business success you could imagine," said B.J. "Red" McCombs, who introduced Bennack at a dinner at the Hilton Americas in Houston.
A long-time friend
McCombs, a 1998 Hall of Fame inductee, is also from San Antonio and is a long-time friend of Bennack.
In his acceptance speech, Bennack told the story of how he landed a job in the classified advertising department at the Light at 17 - an opportunity he likened to the help the Hall of Fame Foundation gives by awarding $10,000 college scholarships to students. Nineteen scholarship recipients were also honored Tuesday night.
'A blessed man'
"Beside the great personal honor that I think every one of us who are being inducted feel, the most excitement for me is the state's future entrepreneurs and leaders, the young people who are the reason for these proceedings," he said. "The Texas Business Hall of Fame enables them to get that start."
Foshee, the first Hall of Fame inductee to have received a scholarship from the foundation, led El Paso, which has been sold to Houston's Kinder Morgan. Before joining El Paso, he served in executive roles at Halliburton, Nuevo Energy Co. and Torch Energy Advisors. Previously, he was at ARCO International Oil and Gas Co.
"I stand here tonight - ladies and gentlemen - as a blessed man," Foshee said in his acceptance speech.
Cornyn lauds honoree
Nau's company, Silver Eagle, has more than 1,200 employees serving 16 counties in Texas. The firm also distributes Grupo Modelo beers, microbrews and craft beers as well as non-alcoholic beverages. He is involved in a range of civic and philanthropic organizations locally and nationally.
U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, who attended the event Tuesday, said in a video detailing Nau's accomplishments that those in the Hall of Fame "will find good company in John."
The Houston-based hall recognizes Texas business leaders for their business accomplishments and contributions to the community. Since its establishment in 1982, it has inducted 169 members including former president George H.W. Bush, billionaire investor T. Boone Pickens and Dell Computer Corp. founder Michael Dell.

Male Leads Testing for Stephenie Meyer's The Host
Open Road Films has begun testing for the two male leads in the big screen adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's THE HOST, reports Variety. Saoirse Ronan (HANNA) is already attached to play Melanie Stryder, a teenage human who rebels against the alien "souls" that possess all human beings. Once the alien Wanderer enters Melanie's body she has a hard time taking over and falls in love with Melanie's boyfriend Jared, but later Melanie must fight the Wanderer's new feelings for Ian.
Up for Jared are Liam Hemsworth (THE HUNGER GAMES), Kit Harington (GAME OF THRONES), Jai Courtney (ONE SHOT) and Max Irons (RED RIDING HOOD). Testing for Ian are Dane DeHaan (IN TREATMENT), Thomas McDonnell (PROM), Augustus Prew (THE BORGIAS) and Jake Abel (THE LOVELY BONES).
Andrew Niccol (IN TIME) is directing. Chockstone Pictures' Steve Schwartz and Paula Mae Schwartz and Nick Wechsler and Meyer are the producers. Inferno's Marc Butan, Jim Seibel and Bill Johnson are the exec producers with Roger Schwartz co-producing.
Inferno will rep international sales. Filming will start early 2012 in Louisiana and New Mexico. Open Road plans to release the film on March 29, 2013.

Owners and managers of New York City property should take notice that the City has become more serious about issuing statutory penalties for non-filing or incomplete filings of the annual RPIE (Real Property Income and Expense) statement with the NYC Department of Finance.
What is the RPIE? Owners of income-producing properties in New York City must file an annual RPIE statement online with the Department of Finance (a property manager can file it on the owner's behalf). This income and expense information allows the City Assessor to estimate the value of every property in New York City. The Department of Finance also uses this valuation (based on information provided by owners) to assess income-producing properties such as office and apartment buildings. Since these valuations are annual, assessed property values can, and historically do, change yearly.
An RPIE statement is required for all income-producing properties with an actual assessed value of more than $40,000. This includes commercial properties such as office buildings and retail stores, industrial sites, as well as certain residential properties, including rental apartment buildings, co-ops and condominiums.

Sabrina Fadial of Montpelier pounds hot steel on an anvil at her blacksmith shop in Barre Town.
An old blacksmith shop in Barre Town is once again ringing with the sounds of hammer on anvil. Sabrina Fadial, assistant director for visual art programming at the Vermont College of Fine Arts in Montpelier, has moved into a blacksmith shop that once served the granite industry and is forging unique works of art in the historic space. Fadial, a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, uses found objects as raw material for her nature-inspired creations. Above, Fadial hammers a hot steel rod on an anvil at her shop. Right, many of Fadial's works are based on shapes she sees in nature.

During the arrest, police say, Montandon struggled and kicked one officer in the leg.
She was booked into the Ada County Jail and charged with felony battery on an officer, along with misdemeanor counts of DUI and resisting arrest.
She's set to appear in court June 25.

Does anyone have a bicycle rack on their 950?
Dirtbro and I have been talking about a September trip.
"Crested Butte?"
"Do you wan to go for a 950s trip or a mountain biking trip?"
"I kinda want to do both"
"me too....."
I spent 20 minutes in the garage with some 8020 and voila :ricky
I'm interested to see some detail shots of how others mount their bicycles on their KTMs?
I just slapped this together and I need to solve some issues (like where to put the front wheel :photog ), etc.
If you have photos/details I'd love to see them :lurk
I'd mount a big 'ol Amish Triangle in the back of that bike lest you decide to replace your spinal cord with that nice Fox Shox, and your arse with that aluminum pole... Joking aside, it's pretty cool.
My buddy's reply "Dude! that's like a $7000 wheeile bar!" :rofl
it's scarey to look at it and start thinking about worst case scenarios
I would like to see the rear tire down a considerable distance
so if something did go wrong the forward motion of the bike would be absorbed by the rear of the motorcycle and not you
that would also decrease the rear cantilever distance and potential for side impact
I didn't see the bikes front tire ?
I am afraid to ask where that goes LOL
A + for doing something other than sitting on a couch critiquing others work cough
I would at least take the rear wheel off and mount it up near the forks. I would also consider lowering the bottom bracket to about the lower edge of a stock 950 rear fender.
But... it sure looks ridable like that.
Is it just a funny camera angle or is the nose of your saddle tipped way down?
It is a funny camera angle - the saddle nose is actually rotated away from the camera.. the bike has a Reverb dropper post and I was messing with it earlier so it was loose :freaky
We are actually considering riding out to the KTM national rally for Saturday and then heading to Crested Butte for mountain biking Sun-Tue.
The front is easy - the forks bolt to the mount.
With the rear my original thought was to just strap it on really well around the bike's bottom bracket (which is sitting on some extra Shorai battery foam :lol3) but I just had an idea:
I could run a vertical piece of 8020 about a foot long.. and then remove one pedal from the bicycle and mount the bike's crank to the vertical piece through the pedal hole. The 8020 aluminum extrusion is incredibly strong - this would essentially turn the entire bike/rack into one solid structure. :hmmmmm
8020 is fantastic stuff; we use it to jig our Baja car at Purdue.
I'm working on a rack for mine, but it's a bit simpler as it's based around a Thule rack, with a crossbar that clamps to the pannier mount handles so I can still have the cases on the bike. No pics at the moment, as school as cut into time for the project.
How do you like that dropper post? I'm trying to decide if it's worth the money...I mean, I've been fine this long without it, right? haha.
Check this out
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/CA_KpQkRR-w" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
looks like your design is the norm :freaky
I forwarded it to Casey: "A video has already been made about us! :rofl "
Everything we ride is vertical. At this point.. I wouldn't ride without one.
crazy, I ran into this group at our local watering hole (the dark outside scene at the end of the vid)

An autopsy found the cause of death was hypothermia and the coroner's office determined it was an accident, said Sgt. Reeves of the Longview Police Dept.

How to break the system with the Fleet doff system

4. 100 doffs costs 50,000 FC and given the nominal cost of FC there is no way to make a net profit on that transaction (as opposed to #3)
5. 1000 doffs is at least twice the max roster (closer to 3-4 times with even marginal roster usage) so your claim this requires an xwarp only "once per day" is a blatant falsehood.
If in the case of #5 you are assuming division and specialization of labor, with, say, six doffers each producing 150 doffs a day (on one xwarp, with 250/400 base roster size), and six more FAers producing fleet marks, you are describing a medium sized guild whose members are spending about an hour a day, every day, playing this game, and given spawn rates on security and engineering doffs (sub-10%) they are probably not even producing enough doffs to keep projects continually queued.
The model you outline also assumes that the doffers are allowed a monopoly on cheap FCs so they can keep buying doffs to feed back into the system. Even if all other issues with the scenario you outline were waived, the fleet would still have to deal with the exorbitant Dil cost of maintaining the pacing you describe.
The issues you describe could be understood only as issues if the intent were to make the game so insanely grindy that small/medium fleets would have to either play more than one hour a day per member or spend several days or more per project. Your argument is not cogent and can be understood only as PWE apologism.
If you read carefully the opening post, you'll see that there is no need to farm to get these 10k doffs. We already have the ressources, and our starbase isn't even T2! 10k doffs will clearly be enough for T3 and a part of T4, considering the amount of doffs T3 assignments require. So we only need to play a few more minutes, maybe a starbase incursion, a colony invasion and a STF or two for some dil, and the road to T5 is widely open. Our small 10 active player fleet will match the biggest fleets in game
without ANY effort or challenge
This fleet doff system can also be replaced by a 'instant starbase upgrade' option, that would make no difference. And I know you're defending the fleet doff system because you know it and that's what you want.

Anyone knows if there is something similar on codecanyon to the sticky side panel found here on the right side of every page http://www.mediasignage.com/ ?
I found this http://codecanyon.net/item/sticklr-sticky-side-panel-css3-jquery-plugin/302039 but i i want it to be more like the one from the above website. When the user hovers the mouse it slides out , and it has a few links and icons…
I want to use it for support services and add it to all my web pages.
Any advice?
Define a CSS style for the panel
sidepanel {
height: 250px; width: 25px; position: absolute; top: 150px; right: 0; border: 1px solid #CC00CC; overflow: hidden; }
Then use jQuery hover and animate methods:
$(document).ready(function() { $("#sidepanel").hover( function () { $(this).animate({width: '150px'}, 500); }, function () { $(this).animate({width: '25px'}, 500); } ); });

5-Year Old Julian Pavone, the World's Youngest Drummer, to Perform at Benefit Concert for Children's Hospital at Doraldo's
WILLIAMSBURG, Va., March 9 /PRNewswire/ — Julian Pavone, "The World's Youngest Drummer and Inventor!"® will perform live at a benefit concert for Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters on Sunday, March 21, 2010. Doraldo Ristorante Italiano of Williamsburg, Virginia, has partnered with the hospital to host this inaugural fundraising event. Doraldo's founder, Charlie Messina, knew his cousin Julian would also support this wonderful cause. Charlie envisioned his venue, combined with Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters cause and Julian's participation would lead to an incredible event.
Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters leads the region as the preferred provider of quality children's health services. Doraldo exemplifies southern Italian dining at its finest. With its "villagio" style, Doraldo makes patrons feel as if they have just entered an Italian village.
Julian is considered a musical prodigy by many. Joe Billingslea, who founded THE CONTOURS, likens Julian to a "modern Stevie Wonder" and thinks the kid has "serious soul." He was offered a contract to be a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers' Drumline at age 15 months (the youngest member by 16 years!). Then, at 20 months, Julian recorded a CD, "Go Baby!," with legendary bassist Ralphe Armstrong. Since then, he has received worldwide media coverage with more than 10,000 newspaper and magazine articles published about him.
He has also appeared on more than 100 Television and News shows, including "The Oprah Winfrey Show," "Good Morning America," "The Maury Show," "Martha Stewart" and many more. He has also starred in a television show pilot, "Finding Julian's Band®," created by Rocky Seprino and had a documentary about him produced by Korea's Seoul Broadcasting Systems.
He invented and received a patent for "Abracadabra®" Stain Cover-up, now also making him "The World's Youngest Inventor!®" His SECOND invention, "Julian's Drum Gloves(TM)," is patent pending.
He has received numerous honors and awards, including "Maury's Most Talented Kid" of 2009 and "The 2007 Rock and Roll Lifetime Achievement Award." He is featured in "Ripley's Believe it or Not" and included in the Guinness Book of World Records as a performer in "The Longest Concert by Multiple Artists." He is an Honorary Goodwill Ambassador for Muscular Dystrophy Association and The Miracle League of Michigan.
Multi-award winning production company, WonderWorld Entertainment, signed the prodigy drummer to 13 television episodes. Julian will star in and co-host the show, "All You Need Is Music," with Michael J. Powell (4-time Grammy Award winning producer).
Most recently, Motown music icons, The Contours with Joe Billingslea, best known for their 1962 hit "Do You Love Me," have added Julian to their group. Julian will be singing, dancing, drumming, and touring with members, Joe Billingslea, Charles Davis, Al Chisholm, Gary Grier and Odell Jones.

New York Giants punter Steve Weatherford tackled WNBC sportscaster Bruce Beck during an appearance at a Long Island day camp on Tuesday.
Weatherford was the special guest of Coleman Country Day Camp in Merrick, Long Island and put on a mini punting clinic where he invited some kids to catch his punts. The last person called on was Beck, who caught Weatherford's punt but was not expecting the Giants punter to chase him down.
Beck tried to get away but Weatherford caused him to fumble as he took him down. In the end, however, Beck was happy just to still be alive. Fortunately no one was hurt and Weatherford does not have a lawsuit on his hands.

Special Correspondent
GULBARGA: The Jana Jagruti Vedike and the JOC Students Federation organised a joint protest here on Saturday. They were demanding that the State Government immediately recruit JOC-trained commercial artists and tailors as teachers in primary and high schools.
Hundreds of students and unemployed JOC-trained candidates, took out a procession to the Deputy Commissioner's office and staged a demonstration there.
In a memorandum addressed to Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa and submitted to the local authorities, the unemployed candidates urged that candidates who had completed their JOC course in other trades should be permitted to join the D.Ed. course.
The memorandum said that in 1986 the Government had permitted candidates who had completed JOC to join the TCH course, and so now they should be permitted to pursue D.Ed. course.
Since the JOC was recognised as equivalent to the Pre-University Course, these candidates should be considered for appointment to teacher posts, the memorandum added.

Prosecutors oppose SC rule waiving witnesses' appearance
State prosecutors have expressed their formal opposition to the Supreme Court's judicial affidavit rule (JAR) that would allow witnesses to submit written testimonies instead of having to appear in court.
The JAR should be revoked, Prosecutor General Claro Arellano said in a May 23 letter to Chief Justice Ma. Lourdes Sereno, citing the inadequate number of prosecutors and the possible dismissal of cases due to technicalities.
"While the National Prosecution Service (NPS) is aware that case congestion and delays should be addressed to hasten the delivery of justice, the implementation of the JAR is not the solution to these problems," Arellano said in his letter.
"On the contrary, the JAR will only add to these concerns. Not only will it unjustly burden the prosecutors, defense lawyers and private practitioners but criminal cases will be resolved not on the basis of the evidence brought forth by the parties but rather due to mere technicalities," he said.
Arellano pointed out that prosecutors would have very limited time to prepare judicial affidavits since they are already burdened by heavy workloads, such as trial work, including criminal and special proceedings, the conduct of preliminary investigations and inquest proceedings.
Many prosecution offices are also inadequately staffed, Arellano said. He said that in 2012, the plantilla positions for prosecutors numbered 2,412 but only 1,850 were filled, equivalent to a vacancy rate of 23 percent.
In 2012, he said, the case load for preliminary investigations of the NPS was 352,523 with an average of 191 cases per prosecutor. On the other hand, the case load for trials in lower courts alone was 391 cases per prosecutor.
"The preparation of judicial affidavits consumes more time than the conduct of direct examinations. A single affidavit cannot be completed in two hours, particularly when the witness is a child. The JAR will result in numerous dismissals of cases due to technicalities. Judges also cannot observe the demeanor or credibility of witnesses," he said.
The JAR was promulgated by the high court in September last year and was supposed to take effect on Jan. 2 this year. Its implementation was suspended, however, because of an objection from the Prosecutors' League of the Philippines and the high court's decision to defer it for one year under certain conditions.
Under the JAR, when a party, whether plaintiff or defendant, questions his own witness, he no longer would need to place the witness on the witness stand.
As a substitute, the party or his lawyer merely submits the written sworn statement of his witness in a question-and-answer format. It also requires each party to the case to attach all his documentary evidence to the judicial affidavit which, in turn, must be submitted at least five days before the pre-trial or preliminary conference in the case.
The JAR was said to be effective in reducing the time used for presenting the testimonies of witnesses by about two-thirds in a pilot program in the Quezon City courts.

Space NeedleRead MoreThe Three Faces of Space Needle Sky-High Views At 520 feet tall, the Space Needle was once the tallest structure west of the Mississippi. Here, though, the spectacular, panoramic view make the east's mighty river look like a rambling brook. To the west, the waters of Puget Sound and Elliott Bay glimmer in the sunlight. To the south, Mount Rainier peeks over the skyscrapers and neighborhoods of downtown Seattle, sprawled all the way to Lake Union and the distant ridges of the Cascade Mountain Range. A Rotating Menu Just 20 feet below the observation deck, diners at SkyCity Restaurant let the 360-degree panorama revolve around them. Powered by a single 1.5-horsepower motor, SkyCity was only the second revolving restaurant in the world when it was built. Today, there are dozens of such restaurants worldwide, but SkyCity continues to distinguish itself with a carefully curated menu by Executive Chef Jeff Maxfield. Specializing in Pacific Northwest cuisine, Chef Maxfield was invited to cook a six-course meal at the James Beard House in October 2013—a testament to his work at SkyCity, whose menu includes everything from jumbo sea scallops to pear-and-brie agnolotti. For dessert, diners are invited to soak up the sweet views from the observation deck free of charge. A Point in Seattle's History Since its construction in 1962, the Space Needle has become one of America's most iconic architectural achievements. To prepare for the 1962 World's Fair, crews constructed the Space Needle in a mere 400 days, earning the structure the unofficial title of "400 Day Wonder." More than a million visitors visit the Needle every year, whether to eat at SkyCity, survey the Emerald City, or simply stand within the Earth's last line of defense should a giant balloon ever descend on the Northwest.400 Broad StSeattle, WA US
American Dance InstituteRead MoreIn 1984, lifelong ballerina Elizabeth Chayer founded American Dance Institute in Anchorage, before relocating to two nearly-adjacent studios in Seattle. There she began amassing her current staff of talented toe-artists. Recruited from ballet troupes, contemporary dance companies, and flamenco ensembles around the world, the teachers lead open-level classes that balance technical training with expressive kineticism. Each instructs in their specialty, and as a result the twinned studios can offer a wide range of styles including ballroom, break dance, ballet, jazz, and the invisible lasso. Collectively, more than a century of professional experience conglomerates in the staff, and each boasts a solid footing on the basics of anatomy and kinesiology to maximize the effectiveness of training while minimizing the chance of injury. The classes themselves take on a welcoming, noncompetitive format that emphasizes enjoyment without sacrificing technique. Aimed at any dancers of 18 months and older, many classes, including musical theater, Irish step dancing, and ballet, come in a multitude of permutations designed for each age-set. Others are more restricted, such as adults- and teens-only flamenco, ballroom, and jazz sessions, or the grown-up-free Polynesian class. While individual movements and underlying concepts form the heart of these classes rather than choreographed productions, children enrolled in the spring semester get the chance to take part in a seasonal studio performance. American Dance Institute also hosts birthday parties where guests learn a particular style. During one notable jubilee, the attendees of a family reunion mastered an Irish ceili, then used their newfound skills to stomp on a block of icing until it became a cake.8001 Greenwood Ave NSeattle, WA US

barre3Read MoreLength, grace, and a healthy body. These are the focuses of barre3 founder Sadie Lincoln. To achieve these results collectively, however, Sadie knew she needed to come up with a completely new routine. Working with yogis, professional dancers, doctors, and athletes, she created the barre3 system. It's a three-step sequence that consists of isometric holds, low-impact movements, and recovery stretching. This combination strengthens cores and aligns postures while sculpting long, lean muscles and burning calories. While upbeat music fills the studio, instructors lead small groups through a heart-racing sequence of yoga-inspired poses and pilates-based exercises. The ballet barre comes into use when striking muscle-building dance poses and stretches. It's a system that has had proven results, which has spurred the successful growth of barre3 locations throughout the country. Today, fitness enthusiasts can find a barre3 studio in 16 states. An easy-to-follow routine, barre3 can also be performed at home with online workouts. These workouts are designed to fit busy schedules with routines that range from 10?60 minutes. All that's needed for online workouts is a barre3 core ball, weights, an exercise mat, and a sturdy, waist-high surface such as the top of Danny DeVito's head.6408 Roosevelt Way NESeattle, WA US
Photo ElanRead MoreBrian Hartman brings an artistic touch and approach to his on-location photography. Employing a photojournalistic style and dramatic lighting, he captures solo subjects and groups during posed and candid moments, earning critical acclaim from the Artistic Guild of the Wedding Photojournalist Association and The Knot and placing images in the pages of Elle and Seattle Bride magazines. Not content to simply point and shoot, Hartmans lights compositions using chiaroscuro or high-exposure natural lighting and often accentuates subjects with extreme angles, forced perspective, or unique natural surroundings. He shoots in vibrant color or black and white, and can edit photos to enhance colors or, by request, replace each subject?s face with Winston Churchill?s. Though Hartman uses professional tools, he's glad to help students break into photography via ultra-accessible devices such as the iPhone?following in the footsteps, he notes, of Annie Leibovitz, who endorsed the iPhone?s camera on NBC Nightly News in 2011. When not conducting on-location sessions, Brian also leads large-scale workshops in which he passes on his knowledge through graphic slideshows and hands-on training.6007 12th Ave. SSeattle, WA US
Duck Island Ale HouseRead MoreFive Things to Know About Duck Island Ale House Since 1996, Duck Island Ale House has been a haven for beer lovers. Before you cozy up to one of the cushy car seats at the bar, imbibe a few facts about this neighborhood pub. They've got 27 taps and they know how to use 'em. In addition to the tap handles hanging from the chandeliers, Duck Island's bar has 27 functioning beer taps. On any given day, these dispense a rotated selection of craft brews, both domestic and imported. They stock plenty of bottles, too. The Duck Island bottle selection is 60-strong, so you're bound to find one to suit your palate. It's not all about the beer. A concise menu of upscale cocktails and liquors balances out the bar's beer-centric focus. Sip a mixture of juniper-honey wine, gin, and limoncello, or simply request a finger of scotch. You can order their food—or someone else's. Duck Island added a hefty food menu of fried chicken, fish, and creative bar snacks in 2013, but they've preserved their longstanding order-in tradition; patrons are free to order a burger or omelet from neighboring Beth's Cafe until 1 a.m. every day. They welcome gamers. Along with a kitchen, the 2013 renovation added a free-play skee-ball machine, as well as two free-play pinball games.7317 Aurora Ave NSeattle, WA US

Jessica Simpson Belts Out the National Anthem
Following a year of dodgy performances, Jessica Simpson picked up the mic again to perform the National Anthem Wednesday at the opening ceremony of the Tiger Tourney. She wore a hip-hugging red-and-blue striped dress.
The singer - whose beau Tony Romo participated in the Tiger Woods event - "eventually left the first green before any of her body parts managed to escape," notes the Washington Post.
Simpson was greeted by a slew of photographers when she first arrived in Washington D.C. Tuesday.
She was jokingly asked if she's waiting for Romo to win a Super Bowl before she agrees to marry him.
Simpson (who turns 29 July 10) replied, "He'll win. Tony is playing with Tiger tomorrow. That's all I'm thinking about."

Romo recently addressed marriage rumors.
There are "none that I can think of," he told Entertainment Tonight. "I'm sure you guys can tell me something new here soon enough, though."
See how Jessica Simpson's body has changed over the years
Last week, Simpson confirmed Us Weekly's original report that she is doing another reality show. The Price of Beauty, which will follow the singer as she travels around the world in search of what people find beautiful, debuts on VH1 in 2010.
