It's well balanced information that is useful on a daily basis. I'm very satisfied with the Executive Edition. I start each day with SES and a big cup of coffee!- By Tom Ruiz, EVP Sales, Volcom
Before Shop-Eat-Surf, there were two sites I paid for premium content on. One is Surfline, the other is the Wall Street Journal. One is about all things surf, the other, the best business content site in the world. Shop-eat-surf is the intersection of those two worlds. Shop-Eat-Surf provides everything from coverage of events, people, brands and trends. However, beyond the Executive Edition "wall" is more meaty analysis and interpretation of financial statements, business models and brand philosophies; why certain brands and companies are succeeding, where others aren't. The Executive Edition is a must have read if the business of surf and action sports are on your radar screen.- By Jeff Berg, Co-owner, Surfline

Josh was hitting up the bike trails trying to work up a good ol fashioned sweat when he came across Sarra. Her front tire popped and she was walking all lonely and sad. Josh approached her and got her to hang out with him in some shade. After realizing she had no phone or money to get her tire fixed, Josh figured he would try and help her out with a business proposition. She was hesitant at first, but the lure of cold hard cash was too much to resist. This natural babe with perky tits had no problem finding a quiet spot by the lake for some fucking. And fuck they did. Nothing like great outdoor sex to get the cardio workout out of the way. Enjoy.

Second Argentine reporter killed while covering World Cup in Brazil
Jul 9, 2014, 1:44 PM EDT
Sad news has emerged from the 2014 World Cup as a second Argentine reporter has been killed while covering the tournament.
Brazilian officials have said that Jorge Luis Lopez died after being involved in a car accident in Sao Paulo caused as a vehicle being chased by police slammed into his taxi.
Police inspector Paulo Roberto Poli told Globo TV network that Lopez flew out of the car, hit a concrete wall and was killed instantly. The taxi driver suffered minor injuries and the three occupants of the stolen car were arrested.
Lopez was working for Argentine sports daily Ole and La Red radio station in Buenos Aires.
His death comes after the daughter of a famous Argentine journalist, Miguel "Titi" Fernandez, died in a road accident while reporting on the World Cup. Last week 26-year-old TV reporter Maria Soledad Fernandez was killed when the car she was riding in lost control and went over a cliff en-route from Belo Horizonte to Sao Paulo.
Argentine players have since taken to Twitter to mourn the loss of Fernandez and in the picture above right, you can see the Argentine media mourning the loss of one its own.

Bea Arthur, 1922-2009
Bea Arthur, who passed this weekend, was best known for her TV work as Maude and as Dorothy on The Golden Girls, for which she won Emmys, but she was also a stage veteran who played Lucy Brown in the famous Theatre De Lys production of The Threepenny Opera -- her booming, wised-up voice can be heard on the soundtrack album -- and won a Tony as Vera Charles in Mame. She was a formidable and mordant presence, which was her stock in trade, but was also capable of vulnerability, as she showed in her breakdown episodes of Maude. And as this ridiculous clip shows, she knew not only how to have a good time onstage, regardless of the material, but also how to make a good time infectious.

Bar crawls under threat
Closure move 'heavy-handed, bully-boy tactics'GRANT BRYANT
Relevant offers
Bar crawls in Queenstown could be no more after moves to shut down guided bar tours began last week.
Liquor licence holders for 12 bars that host bar crawls were called to a meeting with Lakes Environmental regulatory and corporate services manager Lee Webster, as well as representatives from Queenstown police and Public Health South, last Thursday.
Lakes Environmental is the regulatory arm of the Queenstown Lakes District Council, and manages liquor licences on behalf of the council.
Webster told The Mirror he had called the owners of three bar crawl companies to a meeting in August and explained concerns their businesses contravened the basic principles of the Liquor Act's section 154a and specific complaints had been received about bar crawls.
Yesterday, he said the latest meeting had been to inform licence holders that no concerns had been addressed by the bar crawl companies and that Lakes Environmental would take the matter to the Liquor Licensing Authority if the bar crawl businesses had not ceased operations by December 1.
"These companies have been charging between $15 and $35 to visit six bars, typically with food served in the middle of a three to four-hour experience," he said.
Eleven of the 12 licence holders currently hosting bar crawls had agreed to stop hosting crawl customers while one was still undecided. A wider section of liquor licence holders were informed at an annual licensee meeting this week..
"The vast majority understood, but not everyone agreed, and rightly so," Webster said.
Kiwi Bar Crawl director Gavin Larsen said the move was seen as heavy-handed, bully-boy tactics.
"I asked to be privy to the meeting, but wasn't let in. Their angle has been to pressure licensees because there's no legislation governing bar crawls and they're using section 154a to put pressure on when they don't have any proof of excess drinking."
Checks and balances were in place to ensure excessive drinking did not take place, including continually monitoring drinking levels and being assessed by door staff when customers entered a new premises every 40 minutes.
He knew of no complaints received by police or the council in his 4 years of operations.
"...A bar crawl offers new arrivals to Queenstown the chance to meet people. A girl who may not feel safe going out by herself will feel safe coming out with us because it's a managed situation," Larsen said.
The law says:
"Section 154a of the Sale Of Liquor Act 1989 provides that a licensee or manager of a licensed premises commits an offence if they do anything in the promotion of the business conducted on the premises or in the promotion of any event or activity held or conducted on the premises that is likely to encourage persons on the premises to consume alcohol to an excessive extent."

The high New Zealand dollar is a boon for shoppers, who are taking advantage of lower prices to buy more gadgets and upgrade to better models.
The kiwi was trading at above US88 cents for most of yesterday, hitting a high of US88.35c, just short of its post-float high of US88.42c back in 2011.
The recent strength of the dollar is translating to bargains for those buying imported electronics and white-ware, according to Noel Leeming's executive general manager merchandise, Jason Bell.
"It's such a competitive market that any price reduction achieved by our suppliers is passed straight through to consumers."
Bell said most product categories had seen increased unit sales at lower prices, such as tablets, which are up 52 per cent on a year ago with average prices 21 per cent lower.
"People will buy a tablet then get a lot of accessories with the money they've got left over. They're still spending to budget but getting more bang for their buck."
But Bell said some categories had seen their average sale prices increase, such as cameras (up 13 per cent) and fridges.
This was because the drop in prices meant consumers were able to upgrade to better models than they had expected to be able to afford, he said.
"People will come in with a budget in mind for an appliance they want to buy and then find if they spend an extra $200 they can go up a spec," he said.
"It might be they come in looking at a single-door fridge and find they can get a double-door fridge for a bit more."
But for the retailers themselves, the high dollar is not a guarantee of higher profits.
Retail analyst Victoria Harris of Milford Asset Management said gains in the dollar could hurt the profits of companies that made a large proportion of their sales overseas, when their earnings are converted back to New Zealand dollars.
Although bargains are to be had, Harris said overall retail spending figures showed consumers were not splurging like they did in the boom days leading up to the global financial crisis.
"We haven't seen a huge rush. It's more of an economy where, if you are confident about your job and future, you are going to be spending."
Life may get even better for shoppers enjoying the electronics bargains, with the dollar widely expected to break the post-float record against the US in the next few days.
But Bank of New Zealand currency strategist Raiko Shareef said financial markets are wary that further gains could prompt the Reserve Bank to take action.
"Should we push up to US89c it means the Reserve Bank may take the foot off the interest-rate pedal," he said.

The Brewers get their Z-Game on
Dec 4, 2009, 2:29 PM EDT
Gregg Zaun is expected to sign very soon — maybe today — and MLB.com's Brew Beat blog is saying that it will be with Milwaukee, based on the team and Zaun talking about him coming to Milwaukee for a physical. Zaun's a type B who was offered arbitration, by the way, so if he signs before Monday's accept-or-decline deadline, the Rays will get a compensation pick.
Zaun probably stands to get more playing time in Milwaukee than any of the other places he's been rumored to be looking at. While the future is in Jonathan Lucroy, the Brewers really don't have a catcher right now who can shave and vote and stuff.
Tim Brown at Yahoo! is reporting that the deal is one year at $2.15 million. In Zaun dollars, that's roughly 239,000 copies of "2112."
UPDATE: Buster Olney is saying that the deal is $1.9 million for 2010 and a $2.25 million option for 2011, with a $250,000 buyout. So the guarantee is $2.15 million, not that much for just 2010. Which means that he may have to space out his Rush purchases.

Checking someone who not only does SEO but does the content creation and distribution for you as well as keyword research, updating content on your web site and blog, having professionaly composed press releases at poor costs as referred above is what suits many small occupation possessors and yet there are some who effort to do it themselves, they get confounded as they dont have the cognition or the technical sciences to do it promptly and they abandon.

Klingenschmitt: Colorado Recall Election A Victory For Jesus
Submitted by Brian Tashman on Thursday, 9/12/2013 11:50 am
Heavenly angels were singing when two Democratic state senators in Colorado were defeated in a low-turnout recall election that focused on the lawmakers' support for tougher gun laws, at least according to "Dr. Chaps" Gordon Klingenschmitt. The exorcist and former navy chaplain actively campaigned for the Republican challengers, the Colorado Independent reports:
"I was praying tonight that God would inspire His people," Gordon Klingenschmitt, assured Linda Herpin, wife of the GOP recall challenger, minutes before El Paso County Republicans announced that her husband had unseated Morse, a Democrat.
"I wanted to help recall John Morse specifically because of 2nd Amendment issues," he said. "As a Christian, as a person who follows Jesus, I believe in the 2nd Amendment. I believe that when Jesus said, for example, 'sell your cloak and buy a sword,' that he endorsed the idea of self-defense, that defending yourself is not a crime. In fact, it's a moral obligation to defend your wife, to defend your family, and John Morse stands against families who want to do that —stands against people who want to exercise their 2nd Amendment rights."
In an email to members of his Pray In Jesus Name Project, Klingenschmitt writes that Jesus was the real winner in Colorado:
Victory! Jesus and 2nd Amendment win Colorado Senate races
Not only do I live in southern Colorado, where conservatives just successfully recalled two gun-grabbing liberal Senators who voted to restrict our 2nd Amendment rights, but I got personally involved in the local politics (block walking, petition gathering, donating, making phone calls, and praying) that helped elect a new Republican State Senator Bernie Herpin and throw out the Democrat Senate President John Morse. This internationally-watched race confronted President Obama himself, who sent VP Joe Biden to lobby the Colorado Senate to punish gun-owners, but those efforts backfired.
That said, I still believe religious freedom is the First right, because even if you have the right to bear arms, assemble, speak, and petition, but you don't have the right to worship Almighty God or pray in Jesus' name, then the government still owns your soul. Let's tell them "not my soul" today.

Vinery Stud has confirmed that 2009/2010 Australian Horse of the Year Typhoon Tracy has died this morning shortly after delivering her first foal.
Retired from racing following her courageous last stride win in the Group I MRC CF Orr Stakes last year, Typhoon Tracy (pictured www.stevehart.com.au ) was sent to Darley based Street Cry (IRE) in her first season at stud.
The champion mare died earlier this morning at Vinery Stud, but all efforts are being made to save her colt that was born.
Our condolences go out to the Hutchins family, who bred and raced Typhoon Tracy with so much success and enjoyment.

Sampson to enter NBA draft?
Minnesota Gophers center Ralph Sampson III has declared for the NBA draft.
The move is surprising considering the 6-foot-11, 241 pound senior-to be is not expected to be drafted.
It is unclear if Sampson has hired an agent, but chances are he has not hired one considering he can still opt-out of the draft before the May 8th deadline. He would then return for his senior season at Minnesota under head coach Tubby Smith.
This could be a move for Sampson to gauge any NBA interest, but he is not listed in ESPN's top 100 recruits and Smith has said he doesn't see much interest for the Duluth, Georgia native from NBA teams.
However, there has been speculation that influential people in Sampson's life, such as his mother, have told him to move forward and enter the draft.
That would be a huge mistake.
While Sampson has raw basketball talent and has shown improvement, he hasn't proved he can be consistent. He averaged 10.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 2 blocks per game last year. He was third on the team in minutes behind Blake Hoffarber and Trevor Mbakwe.
When Al Nolen went down with a broken foot, the Gophers interior offense was expected to provide relief. However, Gopher forwards Sampson and Mbakwe clearly did not pick up the slack as the team lost 10 of its last 11 games.
Another year could be crucial to Sampson's development, especially with Mbakwe returning for his senior season. Sampson could also become a great role model for incoming freshmen Joe Coleman and Andre Hollins.
Losing Sampson would be another critical hit to Tubby and the Gophers basketball program, who recently lost center Colton Iverson to Colorado State.
While the glamour of the NBA must be such a draw for someone like Sampson, I feel he will ultimately return for his senior season at Minnesota.

Farewell to faux pas! South Korea is one of the greatest economic success stories of the past 60 years, and more and more Westerners are traveling to this bustling, modern country for business and pleasure. But no matter why you visit, an understanding of Korea's etiquette and culture is essential to an enjoyable and successful trip. With "Etiquette Guide to Korea, " you'll never need to worry about making an embarrassing mistake--this authoritative guide covers everything the courteous traveler needs to know, including the importance of names and how to use them, shaking hands versus bowing, table manners for celebrations and everyday meals, and how to negotiate in Korea. Known as "the Hermit Kingdom" until the final decades of the ninteenth century because it kept its doors closed to the outside world, Korea wasn't exposed to international influences until the mid-twentieth century. Perhaps this is why may of the traditional aspects of Korea's culture have been preserved in spite of the explosion of modernity in recent times. Today Korea's age-old culture has combined with the ultramodern Western ways and conveniences to transform the country into one of the world's most popular destinations. Also included are invaluable lists of Korean vocabulary and helpful phrases, making this book the most important item you can pack for your trip or extended stay in Korea.

Yes Lee, it's just the way things worked out for Takei. I thought you were going to mention how Sulu was used in the series like how Keonig often was used for humor, Sulu seemed to be the official time keeper. :)Boy, an episode like This Side of Paradise or The Day of the Dove must have really pushed Justman to the edge! :). I think they got creative and would turn the camera away from the transporter chamber and use the sound effect and just show them arriving. Well Scott, while I applaud your desire to wait for the Cushman books to all be released, I'm going to pre-order the second season book right now! And then I might watch Arena for the beam down effect and count how many were there. I think 6 as well.
#10102 of 12330 OFFLINE
Posted March 15 2014 - 06:35 PM
You're spot on regarding the transporter effect being used aurally only at times. In fact, I believe in This Side Of Paradise there is at least one example when we only hear the effect and do not see any materialization at all. I think it's when Spock is beaming Leila up for the last time, but I'm not exactly sure.
#10103 of 12330 OFFLINE
Posted March 15 2014 - 06:45 PM
Well, I can verify they used the sound effect only when they beam down to Cestus!
#10104 of 12330 OFFLINE
Posted March 15 2014 - 07:37 PM
Yes, lots of clever visual redirects to avoid showing both ends of the beaming process. Knowing the actual economics of it also clarifies some choices like the teaser for Journey to Babel. The shuttlecraft choice seems so elaborate: stock footage from The Galileo Seven, opening up the hangar deck set, shooting the full size Galileo, etc. But multiplying the transporter effect for all the extras on top of Sarek and Amanda would have been a lot of money for them at a time when they just didn't have it to spend. (The first third of the season had gone way over budget, containing several of the series' most expensive episodes, and the new management was simply not having it.)

Posted March 16 2014 - 08:40 AM
Lee, it sounds like you had a great read with the second season Cushman book! :). So many interesting facts.Your example of bringing Sarek's party aboard via shuttle to save on the cost of using the transporter effect is great. But it never occurred to me before that it was done to save money! It was done with such pomp and circumstance it just made sense!The irony is it forced the remastering team to have to recreate that sequence in CGI plus enhancing the shuttle bay live action sequence! We had read in the past about the shoe string budgets and cardboard sets, and it's coming out in precise detail now rather then vague statements. So its great to understand now what it was that was cut or reduced to meet costs. But to me, they did a fantastic job to create a realistic world. I am one to see and find all those things in the sets that might be made of wood or other low cost methods, but TOS always did a great job to hide them. There's a few times I can see wood, but it's far and in between on the DVD's. Even in the blu rays where we can see the join on the ears on Nimoy, the sets still hold up very well! So it amazed me that even in the 1970's, the series was lampooned for the cheap sets. I pre-ordered the book last night. Can't wait to read it!

I had heard Ms. Fontana refer to the change from beaming up the Vulcans in her original script as being the result of budgetary restrictions, but I never truly understood why it made such a difference until I learned the actual numbers. That's a good question about the perception of the sets. Do you think it results from 70s viewers being more accustomed to expensive science fiction movies, as opposed to television set decorating budgets? Because I definitely agree that Star Trek was far better than its competitors at making the sets seem believable. (The indoor sets more than the "outdoor" ones. Some of the planet sets do betray the fact that they are indoors. But the Enterprise sets always looked good to me.)
#10108 of 12330 OFFLINE
Posted March 16 2014 - 01:09 PM
Until now, I never thought about that perception of the sets. But I'm sure the film 2001 and the series Space:1999 with its aesthetic were the benchmarks that raised the bar! But I still think the original Enterprise set designs were still landmarks. Especially the bridge design.

Holy Cow! I have Cannon on the TV while doing other stuff. This episode has two guest stars of our favorite Trek. William Smithers. The other was a real surprise. Her appearances on TV during the 70's I'm guessing were spotty. Miss Grace Lee Whitney. She had a very small part, like Arlene Martel in Columbo, it was one of the people Cannon speaks to in search of clues to his case.
#10110 of 12330 OFFLINE
Posted March 16 2014 - 08:28 PM
I don't recall that Cannon episode offhand. Was Smithers his usual oily character? Maybe I will check it out.
#10111 of 12330 OFFLINE
Posted March 16 2014 - 08:40 PM
Lee, I had a very good laugh from your description of the character type Smithers portrayed. Yes, he was. The episode is called The Deadly Trail. Guest stars include Kevin McCarthy.
#10112 of 12330 OFFLINE
Posted March 16 2014 - 08:55 PM
Well, that's it. You just sold me with Kevin McCarthy. I'm watching it tomorrow.I do recall Smithers guest starring in the later Cannon revival movie, but I don't remember him in a regular episode, so I must not have seen that one. And I would remember McCarthy and Grace Lee Whitney anyway. And regarding your earlier post, I think you are exactly right about 2001. It was a big hit and a lot of people saw it and the production detail and special effects must have shifted everyone's perspective. So by the end of the series, Star Trek wasn't competing with Lost in Space or Forbidden Planet anymore. Visually, it was a whole new universe. But I also think that the design of the Enterprise sets were great because they looked like places where people really worked. The impression they gave was of casual but efficient functionality in a futuristic but highly recognizable setting. The real accomplishment of those sets was that the viewer could feel as though he or she was figuring out what all the different buttons and consoles did, while the production kept everything vague enough that they could do whatever the stories required.
#10113 of 12330 OFFLINE
Posted March 16 2014 - 09:12 PM
Are you watching via YouTube? I found The Deadly Trail there! I agree the original sets for TOS were really groundbreaking still. The motion picture took them to a new zenith. I think the first film got it right after the series.
#10114 of 12330 OFFLINE
Posted March 16 2014 - 09:30 PM
No, I have Cannon on DVD. The last two seasons are recorded from TV broadcasts, as they are not commercially available yet but they seem to be the same broadcasts up on YouTube.How did you feel about the criticism that the sets in the first movie seemed more sterile than the series? I liked a lot of the design, although I would agree that the colors seemed less vivid than the originals, which made the sets blend together more.
#10115 of 12330 OFFLINE
Posted March 16 2014 - 09:42 PM
I remember when I first saw The Motion Picture, it was totally different to what I was accustomed to. I don't recall if I thought the sets looked sterile or not. I do recall that it was dark! Over time, I regard all the design efforts in the first film as first rate.
#10116 of 12330 OFFLINE
Posted March 19 2014 - 10:40 PM
So Scott is next unless you don't have a question.I have been listening to the first season again and because of our recent discussions of the supporting cast, it was interesting that in nearly every of the first nine episodes, the entire cast is used, and Chapel is added during this time.
#10117 of 12330 OFFLINE
Posted March 20 2014 - 04:17 AM
Yes, surprisingly in those first nine, it's Scotty of all people who is light. They almost let him go early on, which seems so strange given how much they came to rely on the character later.
#10118 of 12330 OFFLINE
Posted March 20 2014 - 09:50 PM
Lee, of the 9 episodes that even Scotty and Sulu is not in, Rand gets some of the limelight. It's interesting that we take them for granted now, but that those first very early appearances, while seemingly light, really had an impact. Sulu's almost freezing to death to wild sword wielding antics. And Scotty's turn at trying to fix the transporter in The Enemy Within and experiences with Mudd's Women. Scott had a meaty role after 5 or so episodes without him or Sulu on the Galileo. And then another lengthy absence until Sulu comes back for Shore Leave. I hadn't actually put this much thought into this! The support cast really made a huge impact with less exposure. Anyone with a new question?
#10119 of 12330 OFFLINE
Posted March 21 2014 - 04:16 AM
Just for the record, I for one have never taken the early episodes of TOS for granted. It's no accident that I have watched those episodes more than any of the others since I became a fan of the series. I'm not reducing you two steps in rank or anything, but you might consider re-familiarizing yourself with the manual on penal colony procedures. And just to show you that I still want you as part of my crew, why don't you take the next question.
#10120 of 12330 OFFLINE
Posted March 21 2014 - 06:39 AM
Scott, the first half of the first season certainly got the series off to an amazing start! And after reading Cushman's book, I think more so! After filming the first two episodes, Shatner is quoted with a surprising comment. I won't spoil it until you read the book. It surprised me.I'll ponder a question and post it later today or tomorrow unless Lee has something.

It answered the question of how they actually got in, and I like how you answered the hair color thing too. All in all, it was a great story and wish there were more stories for this movie.

Also, what are you working on right now?

Just to point out since the movie was made in 1998 shampoo was still allowed on planes. Since she can just use Annie's shampoo I don't see how it's relevent anyway. I've always wanted to see this seen. The part where they're looking for the key is very amusing. -Storm

$129,000 in Community Advocacy Grants Awarded Across Louisiana By The Louisiana Campaign for Tobacco-Free Living
The Louisiana Campaign for Tobacco-Free Living (TFL), a program of the Louisiana Cancer Research Center and administered by the Louisiana Public Health Institute (LPHI), recently awarded $129,000 in Community Advocacy Grants (CAGs). In total, more than 16 Louisiana-based community organizations received from $3,000 to $12,000 each in one-year grant funding that began on July 1, 2015.
"Community Advocacy Grants are an important part of TFL's efforts to counter the tobacco industry's predatory marketing to young people, educate communities on the dangers of tobacco use and smoking, promote free cessation resources that will eventually lead to decreased tobacco use throughout Louisiana" said Tonia Moore, Associate Director for TFL. "The grant recipients received this funding in an effort to build the capacity of individuals and organizations to advocate for tobacco-free policies that protect all Louisianans and change community norms around tobacco use."Read More >>
Tobacco Control Organizations in Louisiana Celebrate World No Tobacco Day 2015, May 31st.
Every year on May 31st, the World Health Organization (WHO), marks World No Tobacco Day (WNTD), highlighting the health risks associated with tobacco use and advocating for effective policies to reduce tobacco consumption.
In recognition of this observance, The Louisiana Campaign for Tobacco-Free Living (TFL), a program of the Louisiana Cancer Research Center (LCRC) and the Louisiana Public Health Institute (LPHI) along with many statewide partners, including The Communities of Color Network (CoC) and the Coalition for a Smoke-Free New Orleans will work to provide families and congregations across the state educational information about the many dangers of tobacco use and provide free quit resources.
Community organizations will have a presentation with an emphasis on cessation, provide information on the importance of WNTD and provide information regarding the harmful impact of tobacco and menthol. Resources will be available via an interactive booth display, as well as an opportunity to sign up for free quit services with the Smoking Cessation Trust.
New Orleans Clears the Air, Becomes a Leader in Public Health Advocacy with New Smoke-Free Ordinance
Today, New Orleans exhibited its commitment to public safety and protecting the public's health by implementing a historic smoke-free ordinance that protects all of the city's residents, employees, entertainers and visitors.
The unanimous passage of this ordinance, led by Councilwoman LaToya Cantrell and Councilwoman Susan Guidry, has thrust New Orleans into the national spotlight as a leader in public health advocacy. Today, New Orleans joins eight Louisiana communities and more than 1,200 municipalities nationwide that have gone smoke-free. Additionally, the New Orleans ordinance has created a landslide effect across the state as other cities have taken notice and are considering similar ordinances.
In recognition of the historic nature of this ordinance passage, Healthier Air For All unveiled its monumental celebration piece today. The 50 foot wide by 128 foot tall "Inhale, Exhale, Repeat Safely" banner promotes New Orleans in a big way as a leader in public health advocacy and creates awareness of the city's new smoke-free status. The promotion's epic size further reiterates the fact that this ordinance is a huge step for the city and its leaders. The slogan echoes the health and public safety benefits the ordinance brings to our community, as well as reminds all who see it that we need not endure harm to live the New Orleans "lifestyle."
