We get a video package of the Smackdown side of the Elimination Chamber before the camera cuts back to the ring as the fireworks go off as JBL and Josh Matthews welcome everyone to a new edition of Friday Night Smackdown! They talk about about how Wade Barrett chose to face Alberto Del Rio at Wrestlemania, as that should be a heavy bout for the World Heavyweight Championship belt! The Miz's music hits as the crowd cheer, with him making his way to the ring with Alex Riley! They slide into the ring with mics, as they begin to speak. Miz says it feels great, to have finally shut Ziggler and Big E Langston's ugly traps by defeating them at Elimination Chamber. He says however, he isn't the one people should congratulate. The superstar that people should be congratulating...is Alex Riley. Riley was the one who gained the win over Ziggler, and for that reason- Riley deserves all the praise. Miz says that himself and Riley did indeed defeat Ziggler and Big E, but they decided to attack them from behind, and there is no chance in hell that they aren't going to get revenge! Dolph Ziggler's music hits, as he comes out with Big E and AJ Lee. Ziggler says that The Miz needs to shut up, because if it wasn't for Big E showing off- Ziggler and Big E would've easily defeated both of them. Big E grabs Ziggler's mic, and asks him if he wants to say it to his face? The crowd actually cheer, as Big E heads to the back. Ziggler goes to kiss AJ, but she nods at him and heads to the back to go and look for Big E. Miz says that it's funny, because Ziggler all of a sudden goes from a perfectionist, and now he's a show-off. He says that he knows, Ziggler has got plenty of things to show off about. Like the Money in the Bank match, his performance in the Royal Rumble, he can't deny Ziggler's accomplishments. But all those accomplishments will go down the drain, once Miz kicks his ass once again. Ziggler says that Miz wouldn't be able to kick his ass, not even on his best day! He says that The Miz is too busy getting physical with Riley these days, but Riley grabs a mic, and says that if Ziggler wants to talk crap- he can go ahead. But that won't stop him from challenging him to a match, right here, right now! Ziggler slides in the ring, and says that he doesn't accept. His music hits, and he drops his mic before laying Riley out with a cheap Superkick as he tells a ref to come out. A ref does so, and the bell rings as the match begins.
Match 1. Dolph Ziggler vs Alex Riley
Finish: Back and forth action. AJ came on later on in the match. AJ goes to give Ziggler a chair, and he goes to hit Riley with it- but he decides against it and chucks it back to AJ! Ziggler turns around..TKO! Riley goes for the cover and gets the shocking win!
Winner: Alex Riley
Riley celebrates as he adds on to his momentum, The Miz and him embrace in the ring as Dolph Ziggler heads to the back with AJ Lee. Riley poses for the crowd one more time, as we head to a commercial.
We are back from commercial, as the camera cuts backstage. We see Tyson Kidd with Matt Striker as Kidd doesn't look happy. Striker says that since Barrett defeated Kidd fair and square, where does he go from here? Kidd says that he knows people are disappointed in him for not beating Wade Barrett, but he simply doesn't care. Kidd says that this is only the beginning of a new Tyson Kidd, not everything is going to go easy for him at first. He says that as he is the company's biggest workhorse, he'll keep trying, and trying, untill he gets his ass to the top of the mountain. Striker asks Kidd, if there is any particular superstar that he is targeting at the moment? Kidd says no, there isn't- but if there is one, he'll make a mean statement. Natalya walks into the scene, and her and Kidd embrace. Kidd thanks Striker for his time, before heading off with Natalya as the camera cuts back to the ring.
3MB are in the ring, as they all have mics. Heath Slater says that you have 3 teams competing in number one contenders match for the tag team titles next week on Raw, and neither of those 3 teams are the 3MB! McIntyre says that this is a disgrace! He says that 3MB are the hottest thing going in the WWE, especially after they defeated Kofi Kingston! Jinder Mahal says that they deserve to be added in this match next week- and if they don't- it'll be because of haters. Slater says that Slaters are gonna Slate! Mahal says that Mahaters are gonna Mahate! McIntyre says that McIntaters are gonna McIntate! All 3 wrestlers play an irritating theme song on their guitars, as The Uso Brothers' come out! They both slide into the ring, as the bell rings for there match to go underway!
Match 2. 3MB vs Uso Brothers
Finish: Back and forth tag team action as Drew McIntyre and Jey Uso are the legal men! McIntyre sets Uso up for a Future Shock DDT, but Heath Slater tags him from behind as he goes for a Smash Hit! But McIntyre stops as they both begin to argue, Slater turns around to a Superkick as Jey Uso goes for the pin! He gets the win!
Winners: Uso Brothers
The camera cuts backstage, where we see Alberto Del Rio and Ricardo Rodriguez together as they are talking, with the crowd cheering there asses off. Rodriguez talks about he wants the chance to compete tonight, and show the world that he can wrestle. Del Rio says that he isn't exactly sure, but he'll ask Booker T if he can plan something for him. A figure appears from behind, and it's Wade Barrett. Barrett says that he'd love to face Ricardo Rodriguez, he says that he respects Alberto Del Rio- and the fact that he is the world champion. And he also respects Rodriguez because he is always there for Del Rio, no matter what- even if it's standing up to the likes of Big Show, to being the hilarious guy that he is, he will always look out for Del Rio. Barrett says it would be an honor to face Rodriguez, and he shakes Del Rio's hand as he leaves- we head to a commercial break.
We are back from commercial, and Kofi Kingston's music hits! He comes out with R-Truth, Kingston slides into the ring- awaiting for his opponent. Zack Ryder's music hits! Ryder makes his way to the ring, as the crowd cheer him too. The bell rings, as Kingston vs Ryder gets underway!
Match 3. Kofi Kingston vs Zack Ryder
Finish: Decent action from both superstars. Kingston hit Ryder with a Trouble in Paradise and covered him, to earn the pinfall!
Winner: Kofi Kingston
After the match, Kingston and Ryder shake hands. R-Truth and Kingston celebrate in the ring, and pose for the crowd once again as we head to another commercial break.

NAVARRE — STEM-related learning and the fun that can be had with it took center stage recently at a local elementary school.
For three hours Tuesday night, students and parents at West Navarre Primary School got to dabble in science, technology, engineering and math activities during its second annual Science Night.
View photos of students building with the LEGOS >>
The hands-on activities ranged from 18 science experiments set up in the school's cafeteria to computer programming to the ever-enticing Legoslab set up in a classroom.
"I really enjoy it because it gives us a chance to see what the kids are doing," Krissy Lunsford said as she sat on the floor helping her three children play with the Legos. "I've heard about the Lego lab but I've never been to it. It's pretty awesome. I wish they had something like this when I was in school."
Lunsford and her children weren't alone in their fascination with the colored, interlocking blocks. Family after family didn't hesitate to tackle the task of using the Legos to build everything from jails to space shuttles.
The Legos, which were purchased with a $2,000 grant from Blueprints Education, are used to foster an early interest in engineering, problem-solving and teamwork, according to teacher Susan Julio, who wrote the grant.
"They love, love the Legos," she said with a laugh.
During Science Night, the blocks were laid out in piles around a large outline of the state of Florida. Each pile had a piece of paper with the name of a city and a picture of something famous in that area.
Second-grader Christian Brown was instantly drawn to the Legos beside the sign for the Kennedy Space Center.
"The captain's probably going to be the only one going to space because we're probably not going to find any more helmets," the 8-year-old said as he sorted through the blocks with the help of eighth-grader Nicolas Kayser, who volunteered to help at the event.
After assembling a space rover and mission control, the boys were joined by first-grader Jacob Angle, who couldn't wait to help pitch in.
"He was very excited about coming in here and seeing the Lego lab," Susan Angle said as she watched her son play. "Of course, anything with Legos, kids are going to get excited."
Moments after sitting down, Jacob finished constructing a space shuttle and held it up to inspect it before turning back to his new friends.
"We're all working on it together to build it, right guys?" he said.

That a month has passed and the British Petroleum well in the Gulf hasn't been handled means one of two things, either we have a doozy of a disaster like we've never seen before, or this is the last time we get to try Biden's idea of getting off our dependence on foreign oil.
I don't want to make too much of an ado about the BP's efforts in the matter, as it is all frankly way above my paygrade to be pontificating on how to clean oil out of an ocean when I can barely pump my gas with getting a drop or two on my gas cap after I take the nozzle out of the tank. Clearly this is a job for science and not politicians.
I don't know what exactly the federal government has at their disposal to even assist in this kind of effort, they can't even keep party crashers out of state dinners so much less get a grip on a blown oil well.
I do know that Obama offered some sage advise to some advisers on the matter:
"Plug the damn hole," he says.
Wow! That's EXACTLY the kind of outside the box thinking we should expect from a president.
Look at that phrase, every word is short, mono syllabic and doesn't say anything or get anything done. Gosh, where have I see that before?
Good lord, is this guy going to get his head back in the game anytime soon? Did he think being president was one big socialist key party where he gets to screw a different piece of capitalism every night?
Seriously, I'll bet this guy thought the country gave him a blank check to make the private sector his Monica Lewinsky.
He STILL thinks this even as support for repealing ObamaCare is now up to 63%
He plays so much golf his nickname on the links is probably Tiger (that works more because he's screwing the American people behind his wifes back and less because he's not white).
He travels the country to go on self-glorifying pep rallies so much he's probably conditioned to want to use Air Force One to take trips to the bathroom.
Next thing you know he'll skip the Memorial Day wreath laying ceremony so he can go vacation to Chicago. At least that's a shark no president will ever jump right?
On Friday, one month later, he's going to finally head to the gulf to do as another conservative humor writer, Doug Powers, put it "plug the damn hole" in his approval rating.

T. Jared Bunch, M.D., Intermountain Medical Center Interventional Cardiologist and Lead Author of New Study
Jess Gomez
(801) 507-7455
Murray, UT (5/15/2009) - Researchers at Intermountain Medical Center in Murray believe that they have made a breakthrough connection between atrial fibrillation, a fairly common heart rhythm disorder, and Alzheimer's disease, the leading form of dementia among Americans.
In a study presented Friday, May 15, at "Heart Rhythm 2009," the annual scientific sessions of the Heart Rhythm Society in Boston, researchers unveiled findings from the study of more than 37,000 patients that showed a strong relationship between atrial fibrillation and the development of Alzheimer's disease.
The study, which drew upon information from the Intermountain Heart Collaborative Study, a vast database from hundreds of thousands of patients treated at Intermountain Healthcare hospitals, found:
Intermountain Medical Center cardiologist T. Jared Bunch, M.D., the study's lead researcher, presented the findings at the scientific session.
"Previous studies have shown that patients with atrial fibrillation are at higher risk for some types of dementia, including vascular dementia. But to our knowledge, this is the first large-population study to clearly show that having atrial fibrillation puts patients at greater risk for developing Alzheimer's disease," said Dr. Bunch.
Alzheimer's is a devastating brain disease affecting approximately 5.3 million Americans. It is the most common form of dementia (a general term for life-altering loss of memory and other cognitive abilities), and accounts for 60-80 percent of all dementia cases. Today, it is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States.
Currently, the known risk factors for Alzheimer's are age, family history and genetics, though injury may also be linked with the disease. Heart health has long been suspected to play a role, but has not been linked. The Intermountain Medical Center study bolsters that connection.
"The study shows a connection between atrial fibrillation and all types of dementia," said Bunch. "The Alzheimer's findings — particularly the risk of death for younger patients — break new ground."
Atrial fibrillation is the most common heart rhythm problem, affecting about 2.2 million Americans. It occurs when the heart beats chaotically, leading blood to pool and possibly clot. If the clot leaves the heart, a stroke can result.
The Intermountain Medical Center study looked at five years of data for 37,025 patients. Of that group, 10,161 developed AF and 1,535 developed dementia during the study period.
The study authors say more research is needed to explore further the relationship between atrial fibrillation and the development of Alzheimer's disease.
"Now that we've established this link, our focus will be to see if early treatment of atrial fibrillation can prevent dementia or the development of Alzheimer's disease," says cardiologist John Day, M.D., director of heart rhythm services at Intermountain Medical Center and a co-author of the study.
Intermountain Medical Center is the premier cardiac center in the Intermountain West and serves as the flagship medical facility for Intermountain Healthcare, a nationally-recognized nonprofit system of hospitals, surgery centers, doctors, and clinics that serve the medical needs of patients in the Intermountain West.

Bret Voelkel of Air Ride Technologies
Air springs are to suspension systems what vacuum-secondary carbs are to engines. Catch a glimpse of vacuum-secondaries under the hood of a hot rod and you'll automatically assume the motor's a turd. Real men want full throttle right now, baby, and dig carbs that hit hard! Never mind the fact that vacuum-secondary carbs can easily make as much peak horsepower as their similarly sized mechanical-secondary counterparts without sacrificing streetability. Likewise, witnessing a car that can alter its ride height at will elicits a similar knee-jerk response. Air suspension is for poseurs, not racers, so it has no place in your musclecar, right? Not if Air Ride Technologies has a say in the matter.
The company has developed a habit of making converts out of skeptics. Not just any skeptics, but pros who happen to be among the best road racers in the country. Air Ride enlists big-time racers such as Boris Said and Scott Pruett-two guys who race alongside the likes of Jeff Gordon and Tony Stewart-to test its products, and the feedback from the harshest critics around has been overwhelmingly positive. Common sense says that if it impresses them, it will probably impress you too. So how does it work, what are its benefits, how do you tune them, and how hard are they to install? We talked with Bret Voelkel to find out, and we quizzed him on other assorted suspension design topics as well.
Installation Tips
Although it takes the better part of a weekend, installing an air suspension is rather straight-forward. The only special tools you may need are an electric saw and a welder, and a digital angle finder will assist in setting up the pinion angle. "As with any customization, take your time by measuring three times and cutting once," Bret explains. "If you run into a problem or a question, please give us a call, since that is why you bought the stuff from us in the first place. I always advise customers to call a potential manufacturer with some trial questions before buying to determine the level of service they can expect after the sale. We have our installation instructions on our Web site so the customer can get a good idea of what he is in for before buying."
Spring Rates
Whether a progressive-rate spring or a linear-rate spring is better for hard-core cornering is much debated, but there is a time and place for each. According to Bret, the only argument against using a progressive spring rate would come from the potential tuning headaches it creates for novices. "A progressive spring rate is just one more tuning variable to throw into the mix when it comes to overall suspension tuning, but if you have an adjustable suspension and the know-how, then that variable is easily manageable," he explains. When it comes to air springs, they can be made to be perfectly linear or extremely progressive. Air Ride typically uses double-convoluted air springs in the front suspension since it's highly leveraged. "This is because the front wheel always travels faster and longer than the air spring and shock, so we want the air spring to gain spring rate much quicker to properly control the oscillations of the vehicle. In the rear, we typically use a sleeve-style air spring with a nearly linear spring rate. Since the rear air spring is more of a direct load application that moves at the same rate as the axle and wheels, it needs more travel and a softer spring rate throughout its travel."
Drag Racing
For those with eclectic tastes, an unfortunate byproduct of a tight chassis that handles well is compromised grip at the dragstrip. With the extreme adjustability of an air suspension, however, you can have the best of both worlds. "Just like any other form of racing, setting up an air-suspended car for drag racing isn't much different from setting up a traditional suspension," says Bret. "I am not a drag racing expert, but in general, we try to set the car up as loose as possible without getting into wheelhop. Loosen the extension valving on the rear to allow the rear suspension to lift the car and plant its tires. Also, loosen the front extension valving to allow the front end to come up and transfer the weight to the rear while keeping in mind that some cars like a bit more preload in the right rear spring to plant that tire better."

An environmental assessment released last month says the Air Force's proposed military exercises are compatible with the existing uses of Tate's
According to the executive summary of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), completed by Eglin Air Force Base, military exercises proposed for Tate's Hell under terms of the Gulf Regional Airspace Strategic Initiative (GRASI) will not have a negative impact on plants, animals or the environment in general.
The EIS was completed for both
The EIS appears largely based on an Informal Endangered Species Act Section 7 consultation, known as a biological assessment (BA), developed by Eglin and released by USFW in Jan. 2013.
The BA describes "potential impacts from the use of (Tate's Hell) for the emitters and training activities on the federally listed red-cockaded woodpecker, wood stork, reticulated flatwoods salamander and critical habitat, frosted flatwoods salamander and critical habitat, eastern indigo snake, Gulf sturgeon and critical habitat, piping plover and critical habitat, purple bankclimber and critical habitat, Choctaw bean and critical habitat, narrow pigtoe and critical habitat, southern sandshell and critical habitat, fuzzy pigtoe and critical habitat, Godfrey's butterwort, Florida skullcap, white birds-in-a-nest, and telephus spurge. This BA also considers the gopher tortoise, bald eagle, several federally petitioned species, and multiple state-listed species."
In the EIS, Tate's Hell is divided into tactical areas approved for various levels of use. Sensitivity of areas where training occurs are rated from "prohibited," where no access is allowed, to "Limited Use II" where blank ammunition can be deployed, cat holes may be dug and other ground disturbance is acceptable.
According to the EIS, refueling would be restricted to designated sites with asphalt or concrete surfaces. The transfer of fuel from aircraft to aircraft during refueling operations, or from refueling truck to aircraft, can only occur on hardened surfaces and would likely take place at nearby airports.
The Air Force has ruled out
The BA states that all vehicles, including ATVs, must remain on existing roads during maneuvers. Low water crossing and boat landing sites must be preapproved by the Florida Forest Service (FFS) and prior to crossing low water sites, personnel must check for turtles and allow them to clear without disturbance.
In the BA, GRASI was mandated to "develop forest-specific guidance on environmental restrictions and compliance requirements, to include conservation measures."
Dirt roadways would be landing strips
The proposed military exercises include the use of helicopters and fixed wing aircraft, with three dirt roadways as landing strips in Tate's Hell. The BA said there would be no new paving but widening or compacting may be necessary. Improvements would be limited to existing shoulders and would not affect wetlands, said the BA, and the site of landing strips would not change "in the near future."
Helicopters would land on existing, cleared areas, some of which are already in use by firefighters.
According to the BA, aircraft would touch down at the runways for up to two-hour periods, both during the day and at night. These sessions could occur up to five times a day, spread between the three sites.
Helicopters would land or hover to allow passengers to disembark using ropes and ladders. Helicopters would fly between treetop level and 3,000 feet approaching training sites and would hover between 15 and 75 feet during exercises. Training sessions would last between 30 minutes and two hours, with up to 50 personnel involved. Sessions would occur twice monthly, half of them at night, with 20 percent occurring after 10 p.m.
Airdrops of up to 72 personnel would occur up to four times daily during training. Aircraft participating would approach the drop site at 500 to 1,000 feet above ground.
Up to eight times a year, personnel would move on foot between locations as part of the simulation. The activity could take place day or night and would involve up to 72 individuals crossing streams and wetland areas.
Training events with up to 10 vehicles could occur up to a dozen times a year and might include "blackout driving" of ATVs and HMMWVs with headlights reduced to small slits providing enough light to navigate using night vision goggles. Roads would be temporarily closed during blackout driver training.
Military training would also involve amphibious boat operations, camping with up to 72 participants and foraging off existing plant and animal resources.
Buffer zones maintained around nests
GRASI plans to establish up to 12 radar, telemetry, and emitter training sites throughout the Panhandle to be used for air training. Radar and telemetry emitters track aircraft and navigation; training emitters are radar simulator systems that train personnel to identify and counter missile or artillery threats from land or sea.
Emitter sites would be leased, either temporarily, in use for several days, or mobile, used for a single day. All sites would be on improved or semi-improved land, many associated with fire towers. Not all 12 sites would be in use simultaneously, and based on a map in the EIS, only one emitter site is proposed for Tate's Hell and two others in the
According to the BA, the war games would involve minor land disturbance but no development, "use of wheeled vehicles on established roads only, cross-country troop movements, bivouacking, helicopter and light aviation landings on existing roads and cleared areas, amphibious operations, and use of blank ammunition and pyrotechnics in select areas."
The BA says use would gradually increase over time to "acceptable levels that can be compatibly supported by the (FFS)." The BA promises activity "would be well below the utilization rates of dedicated military ranges, which are utilized up to 232 days."
Military activity in the forest would be reduced during hunting season. The military would coordinate with the FFS to schedule training at appropriate times.
Prior to training sessions, the military will obtain leases or agreements incorporating conservation measures to preserve the habitat and develop evaluation techniques to determine the environmental impact of their training activities.
The Air Force must identify appropriate training areas based on the presence of sensitive species or habitats. Wildfire is also a consideration in planning training since blank ammunition and dummy explosive devices would be used. The BA states that wildfire generally has a positive impact on wildlife habitat since wildfires are normal in the area due to lightning strikes.
According to the BA, participating military personnel would receive conservation training specific to Tate's Hell and surveys using GPS technology would occur every three years to identify locations of protected species.
Aircraft will maintain a 1000-foot buffer zone around eagle nests and a 500-foot buffer zone around red cockaded woodpecker nests. If gopher tortoises would be disturbed by military activity, a relocation permit must be obtained and the tortoise relocated. Gopher burrows are to be avoided during maneuvers.
Buffer zones will also be established around bald eagle nests and wood stork habitat. Indigo snakes are also to be avoided and if one is spotted by military personnel, it is to be reported immediately to Eglin personnel.
Sensitive plant species would also be surveyed and considered prior to disturbance. Any issues relating to sensitive species or habitats would be reported to the forest service and there would be constant monitoring of environmental impacts by the Air Force.
Use of the forests would be arranged through lease agreements with the FFS.
The plan to hold war games in Tate's Hell was first discussed here at a August 2013 public scoping meeting, when about 200 county residents turned out to object to military use of the forest.

Hi all.
For some time I was running an OCZ Agility 3 on a SATA2 based system. It ran fine but I knew it was not running at it's full potential.
Anyway I just upgraded to a GA-Z77-DS3H motherboard which has SATA3 so I've done a complete reinstall of Windows, put all the correct Intel motherboard drivers on, etc etc etc and found when I run HDTunePro it tells me I'm still only averaging about 190MB/sec read speed off the SSD when according to the stats on the OCZ website it should be well over double that.
Any thoughts? I used an existing 6GBps cable for the SSD, and since swapped that out for a brand new sealed one supplied with the motherboard (also stamped 6GBps) - not sure what I'm doing wrong and why it's not running at full speed

uTorrent is currently, as we speak, uploading at 980 KB/s - I've set a hard limit of 32 KB/s -_- And do not say I have a setting wrong, I've been working on fixing this for months. It's a bug. I know uTorrent's settings inside and out.
It respects it as well as any other client.. you just need to remember that it only regulates the upload speed of the torrents themselves, it however does not count the normal peer traffic that isn't part of the actual upload..
I've found setting the speed to around 80% of what speed you actually want used works, but that will varry depending on how many active torrents/connections you have.

qbitorrent is the best alternative I've found: http://qbittorrent.sourceforge.net/
opensource and crossplatform too. I switched from utorrent to this a while back.

Why do you think I care if you think I'm lying?
"uTorrent is currently, as we speak, uploading at 980 KB/s - I've set a hard limit of 32 KB/s"
And yet you have failed to to show the simple graph showing this to us.. Asked for multiple times, showed you mine where it clearly shows my limit, and then what I was uploading. So where is this graph showing your issue.
Have you set to limit overheard, have you set to limit local peer bandwidth? Lets see the graph where you say you have it set to 32k and its uploading at 980 - and then where is it sending that data too?? Simple enough to look on your connected peers to see where all the data is going.
Thought you were going to use 3rd party to limit your speed? Guess that didn't work either?? So if 3rd party didn't work either, what is wrong with your system? Highly doubt some other torrent client is going to work if 3rd party limiting doesn't work, nor does utorrent.

A year ago, David and Christy Weas began the process to launch their Internet-based business, Zava Blue. The website took flight in April.
The program developed by David Weas allows businesses to process before and after photos of their products, with Weas initially seeing the value to plastic surgeons.
He soon found he could expand beyond his initial customer base.
"I realized there are a lot of other organizations that use the before and after pictures," Weas said.
He and his wife now target landscape businesses, hairdressers, weight loss experts and any industry that creates transformations.
Zava Blue makes it easy for businesses to process photos into a useable format for web pages. Because clients use their own cameras, they can save money by being their own photographers.
Weas, who served as a military pilot, continues to improve accessibility to Zava Blue as he works on an Android app for even easier processing.
Zava Blue operates under a parent company, also formed by Weas and his wife a year ago. Class6 Medias offers web developments and designs.

Shades, a beachside and pool service, opened two years ago, but within that time, it has expanded.
"Last year we started out with one contract, and we've added three more since then," said owner Kevin Collier.
With 25 years in the beach rental industry, Collier saw that he could easily offer to area condo associations and rental management companies a professional service that goes beyond simply setting up chairs and umbrellas.
"Service, service, service is what we provide," he said. Collier ensures that Shades employees are trained to provide a happy and safe vacations or visits for condo residents. He does remind his clients that Shades is not a lifeguard service, but the staff tries to educate guests about gulf tides and safety.
In addition to beach chair and umbrella rentals, Shades offers water sport equipment that includes kayaks and stand-up paddle boards. Along the Walton County beaches, Shades can also provide an after-dark service.
"We're allowed to provide bonfires for guests," he said, noting that Shades obtains the necessary permits and adheres to safety guidelines. Shades also specializes in pool management and in children programs.
Shades can easily accommodate new contracts in 2014.
CONTACT HOURS: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Mondays through Fridays
