For years the BBCA has been hosting a Stampede Breakfast to celebrate the Stampede in Balzac.
Prior to the opening of CrossIron Mills in August 2009, the BBCA Stampede Breakfast was an independent event put on solely by the BBCA with the support of member businesses, however with the addition of the neighbourhood shopping centre, the Breakfast grew exponentially, outgrowing its home at the Balzac Hall which didn't have parking for the event that took up the entire parking lot.
For the 2010 season, the BBCA members deliberated and ultimately decided that based on the growth in the area and scale of the event, the best course of action was to partner with BBCA Member, CrossIron Mills and the Stampede Caravan, to move the breakfast to the CrossIron Mills parking lot and make the event the first Official Calgary Exhibition and Stampede Breakfast event to take place outside of Calgary.
The 2011 Stampede Breakfast saw approximately 5800 breakfast go-ers and 2012 saw over 7500 and in 2013 due to the rainy weather we saw a drop back to over 5500! Everyone reported that they loved that the community feel of the traditional BBCA had been preserved as much as possible and that the partnership with the Stampede Caravan and CrossIron Mills allowed for the addition of even more fun and exciting family activities such as the second stage, Bass Pro Shops casting pond, hay rides, face painting, balloon sculpting, pony rides and more.
Don't miss the 2014 Breakfast where CrossIron Mills is partnering with the Airdrie Food Bank and asking all breakfast guests to bring a non perishable food item to donate. Also new this year, Stampede Caravan is working with the City of Calgary to set up composting stations so we can make it our mission to collect and recycle as much waste as possible. Come down for a delicious breakfast of pancakes, sausage, eggs, yogurt, fresh strawberries, and of course, sponsored by Bell. The first 1000 breakfast guests will receive either a Swag Bag or a CrossIron Mills Gift Card valued at either $5, $10, or $500 dollars!

About the Company
Welcome to the Butterfly Bistro!
The Butterfly Bistro is located in the historical Dixieland neighborhood of Lakeland on the corner of South Florida Avenue and Belmar next to Petals Flowers and Gifts.
Owner and Chef, Diana Simmons named her little gem of a dream, the Butterfly Bistro where she serves up a simple but refined menu of homemade sandwiches, salads, soups, entrees and made from scratch desserts.
Diana always wanted to open up her own restaurant and she has done just that with this quaint French bistro. As a young girl, Diana grew up in the kitchen cooking "side by side" with her half Italian and half Irish mother. Big meals were the norm and cooking was a family tradition.
But as life meanders through to adulthood, raising a family and working in the corporate world, Diana's dream was put on the back burner until now. And now the Lakeland community gets to enjoy what family and friends have known for years that not only can Diana cook, but she is a humble, gracious host that serves others with style and grace.

Televisions Buying guides
July 2014 Shopping for a new television can be very exciting. There is so much choice on offer and, with technology developing so fast, it can also be quite difficult. Whether you're looking for a larger screen or something to watch on-demand content on, this guide explains the different technology available and some of the key features to look out for when choosing your new TV.
Things to consider before you buy a TV
How do you measure the size of a TV?
Televisions are measured diagonally across the screen, from corner to corner. To get an accurate measurement, ensure that you are measuring up to the screen corners rather than to the edge of the bezel corners. The bezel is sometimes known as the frame of the television.
Which room will your TV be in?
Televisions have got noticeably slimmer and far less bulky over the years. Because of this, a large TV today takes up far less space than a large, older model.
Measuring from corner to corner, 19 - 32 inch TVs are great for a smaller living space, such as the kitchen or a bedroom. For larger living areas such as your living room, 32 - 46 inches is great to enjoy a larger picture. If you have a particularly large area to fill with your new TV, 48 - 65 inches will help to provide a home cinema experience which is great to share with family and friends.
What are you using your new TV for?
What you will be watching on TV should affect your decision just as much as where you'll be placing it.
Regular movie watchers will benefit from HD technology or a 3D TV to get a true cinematic experience.
Gamers and sports fans will both appreciate a TV with a higher refresh rate (over 200Hz) to avoid motion blur, although gamers will also benefit from multiple HDMI ports to enable you to easily connect your console.
Advances in technology now mean that you can also use some TVs for browsing the internet, social networking and accessing on-demand content through apps like iPlayer, 4oD, ITV Player, LoveFilm and Netflix. If you want to take advantage of these features, you should look at buying a Smart TV.
What is the difference between HD and Non-HD?
Picture quality is one of the most important features and with HD (High Definition) Ready, Full HD and Ultra HD, which one do you choose? All of our TVs are HD Ready as a minimum. HD Ready TVs have a 720p resolution, which allows you to enjoy the benefits of High Definition broadcasted channels.
Up to five times sharper than standard definition, Full HD televisions offer 1080p resolution which means you can enjoy the benefits of HD with a clearer and sharper picture. It is important to be aware that no channel actually yet broadcasts in Full HD (1080P); the only way to appreciate Full HD is to connect a Blu-ray player or a games console - such as a PS3 or PS4 - to your television.
Also known as '4K', Ultra HD is TVs newest technology. Four times the resolution of Full High Definition 1080p picture quality, Ultra HD offers a smooth and detailed picture without any pixilation and the picture quality is true to what you see in real life.
Why are refresh rates important when buying a TV?
Many TV manufacturers have their own picture enhancing 'engines'. The software inside the TV enhances the picture by managing elements such as colour levels, contrast and brightness to produce sharper, clearer images with richer and more realistic colour.
The 'engines' can also manipulate the input to make images display faster, which really improves the motion of the picture. TVs with picture enhancement software are usually in models with the more advanced features, so look out for these throughout our range. Picture enhancement also assists with the refresh rate of the TV. If you like to watch sports or action movies then you will really benefit from a TV with a higher refresh rate. Hertz (Hz) is the measurement of how quickly an image on the TV is refreshed. Hertz rates vary from 50Hz to 600Hz and the higher the rate is, the smoother the motion is and you can enjoy your favourite programmes with reduced blurring and a crisp picture.
What's your budget for a new TV
The cost of a TV usually depends on how big the screen is and how many features it has. At Argos, we have a wide range of TVs to suit every budget. Have a look at some of the brands that we have to offer.
Types of TVs
4K TVs
4K is the latest technology and gives the best picture quality available. 4K TVs offer 4 times the resolution of Full HD, ensuring a smooth image without any pixilation. You will only really benefit from this Ultra HD on an exceptionally large TV screen, as the larger the screen the greater the benefits of this impressive technology.
4K TVs are also referred to as 'Ultra HD TVs'.
The resolution of 4K TVs is 3840 x 2160p.
Smart TVs
A Smart TV offers a range of online services, delivering fantastic apps and, with some Smart TVs, web browsing.
Each make and model of a Smart TV offers different functions. All have their own varied collection of services, where you can enjoy catch-up TV and on demand services; great for watching what you want, when you want. Smart TVs allow you to access services such as NetFlix, Love film and Acetrax, which means you can watch films on demand. You can also enjoy social networking on sites such as Facebook and Twitter, where you can chat to your friends online whilst watching your favourite programmes.
Your Smart TV must be connected to the internet to use the online services.
Some Smart TVs have a fully integrated web browser built into them, which means you can directly access the internet, as you would on your computer or smartphone.
You can also connect to the internet through an Ethernet port or, if your Smart TV is Wi-Fi ready, a Wi-Fi dongle.
If you are going to regularly watch catch up TV or YouTube content, stream films or make Skype video calls, then you will see the benefits of a faster broadband speed.
3D TVs
We have a full range of 3D TVs that are perfect if you want the very best 3D picture and there are two types of 3D technology to choose between - active and passive.
Active 3D offers the Full HD experience when you wear active 3D glasses. These are powered and they communicate with the TV. Active 3D offers the most intense 3D experience in 1080p resolution.
Passive glasses are lightweight and similar to those you'll find in a cinema. They don't require charging and are ideal for family or group viewing as they are less expensive.
Generally, active 3D technology is more expensive than the passive version.
In order to watch 3D TV, you will need a 3D ready TV, a Blu-ray player or games console, 3D glasses and a HDMI cable to transfer the signal.
It's worth checking if 3D glasses are included and, if so, how many there are.
If you are going to regularly watch catch up TV or YouTube content, stream films or make Skype video calls, then you will see the benefits of a faster broadband speed.
LED TVs
LED TV's produce vivid colours, where the blacks appear blacker and whites appear whiter. The picture quality has incredible clarity, created from hundreds of small LED (light emitting diodes) lights. With an ultra slim design, LED TVs are extremely energy efficient and are also great for brighter rooms.
LED lamps are typically more energy efficient
LED TVs are extremely slim and light which is ideal if you are mounting your TV on a wall.
LED TVs are widely available across most screen sizes.
Plasma TVs
You will really benefit from a Plasma TV when choosing a larger screen size. Plasma TVs are great when it comes to fast moving images because they offer high screen speeds, making them an ideal choice for sports and action movies.
Performing best in dimly lit rooms, a plasma TV is ideal if you mainly watch TV at night or in a medium to dark setting.
Plasma technology is found in screen sizes above 37 inches; if you are looking for a large television, such as a 50 inch TV, plasma TVs are perfect.
Plasma TVs tend to produce more natural looking black tones.
Don't Forget
Sound Equipment for TVs
Significantly improve the quality of sound from your television with one of our soundbars. Slim and stylish, they use multi directional speakers within the bar which project sound around your room, hugely enhancing your viewing experience with a stylish and easy solution. These modern soundbars are incredibly easy to set up and can be wall mounted or placed below your TV. For those who wish to experience true deep bass, some of our soundbars include a separate or built in sub-woofer.
Enjoy an incredible viewing experience and turn your living room into a mini cinema with one of our home cinema systems. Using 5 speakers and a subwoofer, position these around your room to create an atmosphere where the dialogue is clear and crisp and the sound effects are immersive.
Blu-ray Players
Connecting a Blu-ray player to your television means you will enjoy a better viewing experience than a standard DVD player. You can watch your standard DVDs through a Blu-ray player; however, by watching a Blu-ray disc on your HD television, you will experience true Full High Definition.
Cables and Connectors
A HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) cable allows you to get the best out of your TV when connecting devices such as a Blu-ray player, set top box or a home cinema system. A HDMI cable will ensure you get the best possible image and sound from your TV.
A SCART lead is the basic, standard connection between a TV and other equipment such as a DVD player and a set top box.
A digital optical cable will connect to devices to transmit digital audio signal from your TV, Blu-ray player or DVD player to your soundbar or sound system.
TV Brackets
Ideal for bedrooms and kitchens and anywhere you are limited with space, wall-mounted TVs free up valuable shelf or floor space. Alternatively a large wall mounted TV creates a clean, modern look. At Argos, we sell a range of TV wall brackets and accessories to suit all manner of sizes and styles.

British model/sex tape star Abi Titmuss told The Sun that Mickey Rourke tried to hook up with her after winning a BAFTA award last Sunday. Maybe her dress (was it a tit nipply in London that night?) got him thinking about that flasher in France.
I think he was surprised I wasn't just a typical glamor girl with big boobs and no brain….The last thing I said to him was, 'No, I won't be sleeping with you tonight, Mickey.'
Why not? Was it something he said? Wore? Smelled like? Mickey undoubtedly found someone else to celebrate his win with, but we sympathize with any lingering disappointment he might feel. This is a woman who said "I love sex. I've always been really good with my tongue and it's very long," after all. Sounds like his kind of lady. Hell, anyone's.

Comments about UltraSilencer DeepClean Canister Vacuum (Silver):
I would not use any other sweeper than a Electorlux, so when my machine quite I ordered this in hope it would fit my needs, it's OK, but the hose is like using a shop vac, the hose is hard and bulky,twist up in a hoop and you have to be very careful so you don't knock your knick knacks off the wall or end tables.

Comments about UltraSilencer DeepClean Canister Vacuum (Silver):
I don't use this much. I let my maid use it. It's heavier than I thought it would be but it is every bit as quiet as it says it would be. It was too expensive. For a 70 year old man, this vacuum seems heavy. The manual is not as reliable as I would like it to be and I didn't get it with the cleaner with the delivery.
Best Uses
Comments about UltraSilencer DeepClean Canister Vacuum (Silver):
I love the versatility of a canister. Being able to quickly change vacuuming tools as I clean (floor, furniture, baseboards etc.) I love the excellent suction of Electrolux. I had an Electrolux from 1980-2000 and wore it out. It has been over 10 years but happy to own one again. Nothing else has the suction and convience to operate.

DURHAM, N.H. – Austyn Fobes (Howell, N.J.) of the gymnastics team and Alvin Abreu (Lynn, Mass.) of the men's basketball team are featured in this week's Service Credit Union Student-Athlete Spotlight. This information and more can be found in the Wildcat Weekly Roundup.
Austyn Fobes, women's gymnastics
Austyn, a junior all-around competitor from Howell, New Jersey, led the University of New Hampshire gymnastics team to victory against Yale University and Brown University with a season-high score of 195.475.
The 5-foot-1 gymnast, who is still recovering from a preseason wrist injury that prevents competition in the vault, tied for first place in all three events in which she competed with a score of 9.825 in both the uneven bars and balance beam and a mark of 9.85 in the floor exercise. The 9.825 judgment on the beam is a personal best.
Austyn helped lead UNH's top-three sweep in both the bars and beam, and the Wildcats recorded the top team score in all four events.
She was a 2011 NCAA Regional Championship competitor on bars, vault, beam, floor and all-around. Austyn's 2011 accolades included EAGL All-Tournament First Team on all-around and bars, All-EAGL First Team in all-around and floor and Second Team on bars. At the EAGL Championship, she tied for second on bars and tied for fifth on both floor and all-around.
Last year as a sophomore, Austyn had a strong meet against Central Michigan and Brown with personal bests in both the uneven bars (9.95) and floor exercise (9.875). One week earlier, she tallied a career-high 39.1 in the all-around at LSU. Earlier in the year, Austyn recorded a personal best 9.825 in the vault against Bridgeport.
As a freshman, she earned EAGL All-Tournament First Team in vault and Second Team on floor. At the NCAA Regional, she tied for 14th in the floor and was 19th in the vault.
Alvin Abreu, men's basketball
Alvin, a senior guard from Lynn, Massachusetts, completed his first career double-double when his 3-point field goal broke a 49-49 tie and lifted the University of New Hampshire men's basketball team to a 52-51 victory Feb. 1 against the University of Hartford at Lundholm Gym.
Alvin, who scored 14 of his game-high 20 points in the second half, hit the decisive 3-pointer with 28 seconds remaining. He shot 7 of 14 from the floor and that included 4-for-7 from 3-point range and finished with a career-high 10 rebounds as well as four assists and two steals in playing all 40 minutes.
Through 21 games, Alvin is ranked 10th in the America East conference in both scoring (13.3 points per game) and 3-point field goal percentage (34.6%). He leads the team in points (263), scoring average, field goals made (93) and attempted (238), and 3-pointers made (34) and attempted (99); he is tied for the team lead in steals (21) and ranks second in free throws made (43) and attempted (63) as well as minutes (697; 34.8 per game).
Alvin's other 2011-12 highlights included a season-high 21 points in UNH's 53-50 win against intrastate rival Dartmouth College on Nov. 30; he shot 7-for-13 from the floor, including 2 of 3 from 3-point range, and made five of eight foul shots.
Alvin redshirted the 2010-11 season after incurring a season-ending injury two games into the year. As a junior in 2010, he was the only Wildcat to start all 30 games and averaged 14.4 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game; he ranked eighth in America East in scoring and led the team in that statistic.
Alvin became UNH's 27th member of the 1,000-point club against Hartford at Lundholm Gym on Feb. 6, 2010.
As a sophomore in 2009, Alvin led the 'Cats in steals, ranked second in scoring, third in assists and fourth in field goal percentage. He was a school-record 7 of 7 from 3-point range as part of a career-high 28-point effort against Santa Clara on Jan. 4, 2009.
Alvin ranked second on the team in scoring as a freshman at 12.7 ppg and he made 62 3-pointers, which ranks eighth on UNH's list of single-season superlatives. He also shot 81.8% from the foul line and that is the 10th on the program's single-season list.
Alvin has climbed to fourth place on New Hampshire's all-time scoring list with 1,467 career points. With last Wednesday's four 3-pointers vs. Hartford, he climbed to fourth place on UNH's career leaderboards with 198 3-pointers. He ranks fourth in field goals made (492), fifth in career minutes (3,577), eighth in games played (110; the record is 117) and ninth all-time in free throws made (287).
Alvin's career accolades include America East All-Conference Second Team (2010), America East Player of the Game (Year-End; 2010) America East All-Rookie Team (2008), America East Academic Honor Roll (2008 and 2010) and America East Commissioner's Honor Roll (2009).

This is my own take on the Shanghai park. Please tell me what you think!
The goal I'm aiming for is a classic Disneyland/Magic Kingdom with A LOT of differences.
Main Street, U.S.A.- The concept of a Midwestern town set in the turn-of-the-century has been used quite often before, so that's why I'm going to set it (Or at least my version) in a different era: The 1940's. And to top that off it's no longer set in the Midwest. Welcome to 1940's Hollywood. May I present to you Hollywood Boulevard: "The Main Street of Entertainment."
Now this is a very controversial move. Disney purists especially will be upset by this. However there are some out there who wish for change. If you count World Bazaar at Tokyo Disneyland, the concept of Main Street, U.S.A. has been used five times, about to be six once the REAL Shanghai Disneyland is born. The reason I decided to go with Hollywood Boulevard is because I guarantee that the local guests will be very interested in the magic of movies and whatnot. A little piece of Hollywood Studios and California Adventure (Revised Hollywood Studios and California Adventure) in the middle of a Magic Kingdom. Pretty cool huh?
The amount of detail in this land will be AWESOME. It really makes you feel as if you're stepping into the Hollywood that literally "never was." As always, the train station, flowerbed, and entry turnstiles will remain...however they will be spruced up A LOT. It all begins with the turnstiles.
Obviously they will look rather similar to this (The posted concept art). But they won't be direct copies. Instead they'll follow the same architectural-style as the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror: An eclectic Pueblo Deco manner, only lighter in color in comparison to the Tower of Terror. Since this park is held in China, the American (And Californian) flag won't be standing tall above the entryway...or in the middle of town square for that matter...
The train station will also follow the Pueblo Deco-style, although modeled very closely after its Florida counterpart (Sans the facade and interior). A clock tower (Based off of Union Station in L.A.) will lie in the middle of the building (Obviously on the highest point), while the interior would feature various details, such as miniature trains, dioramas, and black and white pictures of stars aboard the rails (Often times taken during the production of a movie involving the rails). Outside on an unused piece of track will be a luggage cart. Upon this luggage cart will be a pile of luggage, belonging to several big stars of the time period, including Zero Mostel, R.K. Maroon (A cameo appearance), Olivia de Havilland, Walt Disney, James Cagney, Bela Lugosi, Fae Rae, and Judy Garland. The rest are relatively unlabeled.
The Mickey Mouse flowerbed resembles that of the intro to 1940's Mickey Mouse cartoons, the same exact face seen on Mickey's Fun Wheel. To further imitate the cartoon intro the flowers around the head will be bright yellow, imitating the "shimmering explosion" thing always seen around the character's head in a cartoon intro. I'm still debating if the flowerbed will change seasonally.
Hollywood Boulevard itself will greatly resemble the street outside of Maroon Studios in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, complete with similar architecture, details, and points of note, particularly Maroon Studios. That's right, Maroon Studios will make a home on Hollywood Boulevard, in place of where one would usually find the Main Street Opera House. Inside guests can walk around the place and eventually enter "Animation Central" which is a walkthrough/show-attraction that takes guests through the world of animation and its creation. The interior of the attraction would be themed to that of R.K. Maroon's office and the relaxing hallways one would find in a well-known and well-kept cartoon studio. A meet 'n' greet will be located somewhere in the studio. A forced-perspective water tower baring Roger Rabbit's smiling face will be located somewhere in the studio.
Another important attraction of the boulevard would be the Red Car Trolleys, based off the new attraction coming to California Adventure and the trolleys seen in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Their main stop is located in town square, right on the curb next to City Hall and "Oswald's Gas Station" (Which is themed to Oswald the Lucky Rabbit). Its only other stop is in the park's central hub, but more on that later. Let's move onto the land itself.
The architecture of the land is pretty much of that seen near Maroon Studios in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. All of the classic window-signs dedicated to the Imagineers will find a home here...albeit revised ("Dr. Xavier Atencio: Psychiatrist for Toons, Imbeciles, and Flat-Out Lunatics"). The shops, restaurants, and whatnot will basically be the same as their counterparts across the world...themed to 1940's Hollywood rather than turn-of-the-century America.
The park's parade is...well I don't know, I'm not good with that stuff. As for the fireworks show I'm stumped as well.
In the park's central hub one will find the typical branch-off into all the other lands: Adventureland, Frontierland, Fantasyland, etc. Along with the castle and garden dedicated to the usual "Partners" statue. This time things are a bit different. The Partners Statue
will keep with the Hollywood theme and resemble this rather than the typical design.
The castle will be something that has never been done before. A combination of Cinderella Castle and Sleeping Beauty Castle (The Disneyland Paris version): The Disney Castle. Another controversial move. All the Disney castles around the world are themed to princesses...and now it's fine-time that they take a step away from the past and do something original for once.
More on my ideas later...
Feedback is greatly appreciated. Following updates will feature revised versions of Tomorrowland, Toontown (Which will be connected to Hollywood Boulevard through the "Ink and Paint Club"), Fantasyland, Adventureland, and Frontierland.

The world was shocked to hear of Natasha Richardson's sudden and tragic death, and celebrities around the world have expressed their condolences to Liam Neeson and his family.
Mia Farrow: "Natasha is irreplaceable. I cannot think of anyone kinder, more generous, thoughtful, smarter or more fun. She is the godmother of two of my children. The Neesons and Vanessa (Redgrave) have always made me feel a part of their wonderful family. My thoughts and prayers are with them."
Kevin Spacey: "There are no words to express how tragic Natasha Richardson's untimely passing is for the theatre community. Her passion, devotion and talent will forever be etched on those who saw her work on the stage. The bloodlines of greatness were always there and she committed herself to every role she tackled.All of us at the Old Vic Theatre Company mourn her loss and send our heartfelt wishes to Liam and her family. We hope that the warmth we all feel about her will bring some comfort to those closest to her, who shared her life, her wit, her style and know that she will never be forgotten."
Alan Cumming: "The term 'life force' seems trite but that is what she was: a woman who powered through life and fascinated everyone she encountered. I have been thinking about the times I spent with her since I heard the news of her tragic accident, and the strongest memory I have is of her laughter, her unmistakable throaty laugh. I think that's a great way to remember someone."
Jodie Foster: "Natasha was brilliant, beautiful, funny, talented beyond measure, as emotionally raw as she was razor sharp. … May Liam, her beautiful boys and her loving family hold her close as they move through this tragic moment."
Oprah Winfrey : "I just want to say how deeply saddened I am, we all are, by the sudden passing of actress Natasha Richardson yesterday. Our thoughts and prayers are with her husband Liam Neeson , their two sons, the rest of their family and friends. Yet another reminder of how fleeting life can be and how precious. We need to value every moment."
Lindsay Lohan: "She was a wonderful woman and actress and treated me like I was her own. I didn't see much of her over the years, but I will miss her. My heart goes out to her family. This is a tragic loss."
Padma Lakshmi: "She was great. She was lovely. She was just like one of the gang. She was very, very articulate. She was very, very opinionated. She was very compassionate. She had a very sophisticated palate."
Dame Judi Dench: "She had an incredibly luminous quality, that you seldom see, and a great sense of humor. I thought she was a really great actress."
Kelly Ripa :"She was a lady. I can't tell you enough what a good person she was, and fun and vivacious and the most full of life."
Demi Moore Twittered:
"I am sending out prayers for Natasha Richardson and her family. A real reminder of how precious life is and how quickly it can be gone."

Henderson is proud to introduce the Aqua Lock wetsuit system. This revolutionary wetsuit system design is the first of its kind to offer inter locking wetsuit wrist, ankles and neck openings which are designed specifically to mate with interlocking Aqua Lock hoods, boots and gloves to form a nearly impenetrable seal which minimizes cold water entry into the Aqua Lock ensemble.
The Aqua Lock System begins with the core jumpsuit. One of the most notable visual features on the suit is the liquid tape Aqua Lock seams. Every seam on the suits is first double glued and blind stitched inside and out. Then the outer seam is coated with a special waterproof Aqua Lock liquid tape barrier which seals the seam from water entry and also helps protect the stitching from damage and unraveling.
The 5mm and 7mm core jumpsuits offer special Aqua Lock wrist and ankle cuffs which have been designed to mate with specially designed Aqua Lock boots, gloves and hood. The Aqua Lock cuffs feature a soft and ultra stretchy skin neoprene inner lining which mates to specially designed silicone seals inside the boots and gloves. 3mm Suits also mate with Aqua Lock accessories but the double locking wrist and ankles have been removed since they are not required in warmer water temps where 3mm suits are commonly utilized.
The interior of all the core jumpsuits are lined with a Golden micro fleece lining which dries quickly and feels luxurious against the skin. The Aqua Lock suit exterior features Henderson's renowned Aquasilk laminate which is also utilized in Henderson's flagship H2 wetsuit series. Rear zipper entry with zipper tab leash for easy self donning assures easy use while the PK G-lock water resistant zipper eliminates unpleasant cold water exchange in the spine and lumbar area. Soft, flexible and extremely durable Duratex knee pads and an adjustable collar complete the package. Henderson's new Aqua Lock wetsuit system will certainly be a first choice by Divers who demand warmth, performance and comfort on all their dive adventures. Suit is available in multiple sizes. The suit rubber utilizes limestone based polychloroprene reducing the dependency on oil and oil derived chemicals for a more environmentally friendly manufacturing process. Suit is available in multiple sizes, and is covered by head to toe 12 month limited warranty with a 120 month limited warranty on the zipper.

Comments about Henderson 3mm Men's Aqua Lock Jumpsuit:
My husband and I both have this wetsuit and I plan to purchase it for our adult son. We are both very happy with the suit ! Like the other individual from the Philly area (we are, too), we mostly dive casually, on vacation, and only in warm water and have had this suit on 3-4 vacations now ... I have worn my suit on at least 40+ dives and it does not show any signs of wear ! I was surprised by the reviews that said it just "falls apart." We have found it quite durable. The suit is incredibly easy to put on and take off, more so than any other wetsuit we've ever tried, and even when wet. That is a BIG PLUS! With a vest & hood on top, it is quite warm enough for the Caribbean. It is also extremely flexible and comfortable. I would highly recommend the Aqualock 3mm for both women and men.

Comments about Henderson 3mm Men's Aqua Lock Jumpsuit:
GREAT to get in and out of, the most flexible wetsuit I have ever used
or even tried on ... very comfortable to wear and warm enough in the tropical waters in which I dive in the Caribbean mostly. I can't think of anything
I don't like about it because it is perfect for my specific use. I do not dive
in cold water. I add a vest with a hood to make it super-warm for dives
no. 2 and 3.

Comments about Henderson 3mm Men's Aqua Lock Jumpsuit:
Absolutely terrible!! I love leisurepro and I love Henderson, but this suit is a complete joke. It literally falls apart after just a few dives. I HAVE RETURNED IT TO BE REPLACED THREE TIMES ALREADY!!! I have the entire Aqua Lock set in 7mm and love it, but for some reason the suit and gloves in the 3mm are really just awful and incredibly not durable. I can't get my money back (because it's been months since I've purchased it, even though the vast majority of the time, it was in the mail). Save yourself some money and buy a different suit!!

Comments about Henderson 3mm Men's Aqua Lock Jumpsuit:
I work as a diver at an aquarium, so granted I dive this suit a lot more than the average person, however I have already returned it twice (and had to wait about 4 or 5 months to get it back each time) and it just unravels every single time I wear it! I literally got it back, and AFTER ONE DIVE the neck was totally unraveled and the wrists had started. After almost a year of waiting on the suit to be returned to me twice, I finally gave in and used wetsuit glue on the wrists, legs, and neck. It lets a little more water in and is not nearly as comfortable now, but after one dive at least it is still in tact! I also own the 7mm version of this suit (as well as all of the Aqua Lock accessories in both 3 and 7mm) and I have never had a problem with the thicker suit! As for the 7mm, it is amazing, warm, and I HIGHLY recommend it. But DO NOT GET THE 3MM unless you want to spend more time waiting for it in the mail than being underwater!!!
Best Uses
Comments about Henderson 3mm Men's Aqua Lock Jumpsuit:
Suit is very easy to put on both when dry and quite easy putting on when wet. It dries quite fast.
I've used the 3mm suit in 22C (~70F)for two dives, first was about 45 minuets, and the second for just over an hour. At the end of the last one I felt a bit cold.
Suit sleeves and ankles are not as shown in the pictures... pictures are of 5mm and the 3mm doesn't have any ending on the sleeves (see picture).
Suit also appears to be very delicate and I am not sure it'll last much (see picture).
Suit is also not 100% waterproof..., as I entered the water I felt the water coming in through the knees stitches, but overall..., it did the job.
my next 3mm suit might be different..

Very light flavored
There is nothing worse than being on a long ride and all you have is kool-aid (read gatorade) or any other super sugary "sports" drink in your bottle. This stuff is very light and works great. It'll keep you going without making you sick to your stomach like the punch style beverages. I like the lime flavor best.

DWTS All-Stars: And the semi-finalists are...
Two couples sent home in 8th week of competition
SAN ANTONIO - It's a double elimination! Which five couples get to dance in the semi-finals? Well, you'll have to wait. The show started with a performance of "The Locomotion" from Kylie Minogue. Then, a look at the leaderboard for the last two weeks:
- Melissa & Tony – 99 points
- Shawn & Derek – 93.5 points
- Kelly & Val – 92.5 points
- Emmitt & Cheryl – 92.5 points
- Gilles & Peta – 92 points
- Apolo & Karina – 91.5 points
- Kirstie & Maks – 79 points
The first two couples take the stage to learn their fates. They still have to stand there through the first commercial break. Melissa & Tony and Shawn & Derek are safe.
The cast of "Newsies" performed "Seize The Day."
Ne-Yo performed "Let Me Love You Until You Learn To Love Yourself."
The next two couples learn their fates. Like the first couples, these two must wait through a commercial break. Kelly & Val are safe. Kirstie & Maks are going home. WHAAAAT??? I thought she'd make it one more week!
It's a time filler! This one is about the pros talking about the pressure of the show.
Next, the couples choose a dance and theme for their competitors. And this is like the kind of dance I'd dream on too much cold medicine!
- Kelly & Val chose "Caveman" Hustle for Melissa & Tony
- Emmitt & Cheryl chose "Knight Rider" Banghra for Shawn & Derek
- Apolo & Karina chose "Mad Monk" Merengue for Gilles & Peta
- Gilles & Peta chose "Big Top" Jazz for Apolo & Karina
- Shawn & Derek chose "Espionage" Lindy Hop for Emmitt & Cheryl
- Kelly & Vall were stuck with "Surfer" Flamenco
Next week, Paula Abdul has a hand in the Macy's Stars of Dance. One more performance on this elimination show: Anna, Val and the principal dancers from the New York City Ballet worked their magic on the dance floor.
The remaining couples prepare to learn their fates. Not to make them feel more special than the other four couples, these three must also wait through one final commercial break. Emmitt & Cheryl and Apolo & Karina are safe. Gilles & Peta are going home. I. AM. SHOCKED. I thought Gilles might win it all!
I can't wait to see the semi-finals (and that crazy themed new dance shebang) next week! At this point, I feel safe saying it's Melissa's mirrorball trophy to lose!

Plaza Frontenac
7:30 p.m.: DS: Speaking in Strings. Paola di Florio, U.S., 1999, 73 min. Whoever first thought of the metaphor "heartstrings" must have had the violin in mind, and after viewing this portrait of the tempestuous Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg, it is the violin manipulated by her frenetically precise hands that most graphically expresses that image. Salerno- Sonnenberg appears possessed by spirits when she plays -- a singularly compelling, and frightening, figure. Musical purists find her mannerisms affected -- a criticism that follows exuberance around, it seems. But those willing to enter into her passion in the concert hall are mesmerized, as those who take in this intimate documentary will be as well. This performance is sold out. (ES)
9:30 p.m.: P. Tinto's Miracle. See Oct. 31, Plaza Frontenac.
7 p.m.: CC: Down by Law. Jim Jarmusch, U.S., 1986, 106 min. Jarmusch's minimalist comedy pares its jokes -- a slightly raised eyebrow, a contemptuously repeated phrase, a shock of hair left uncombed, an empty-eyed stare -- to the funny bone, inducing both laughter and pain. The film's troika of stars -- out-of-work DJ Zack (Tom Waits), goodtime pimp Jack (John Lurie) and happy-puppy Italian tourist "Bob" (Roberto Benigni) -- land, through setups and mishaps, in a Louisiana prison cell, where they form a grudging union and eventually escape into the surrounding swamp country. After much backbiting and circular trudging, the trio miraculously happens on a safe haven in an Italian diner glowing warmly on a backwater road. The film not only traces a journey but arrives at a destination: Without promising a better existence for its protagonists, it strongly implies that their lot has improved through trial and mutual trust. As its open-ended conclusion indicates, Down by Law -- for both heroes and audience -- doesn't dramatically alter but enhances our perceptions. Presented by Joe Holleman. (CF)
7:30 p.m.: DS: American Movie. Chris Smith, U.S., 1999, 104 min. With the success of The Blair Witch Project leaving the vogue for "indie" product with nowhere to go but down, the latest trend in independent chic appears to be the self-reflexive documentary in which struggling young filmmakers film other struggling young filmmakers as they speak earnestly and/or ironically about the long, hard road to Sundance. Mark Borchardt, the subject of the sad, funny American Movie, is no less earnest, but somehow the motivational speeches come out scrambled. Borchardt wants to make movies in the worst way, as the joke goes. Living in Menomonee Falls, Wis., where he drinks, piles up debts and works at the local cemetery, he refuses to let these or any other obstacles -- his apparent lack of talent, for example -- get in his way. With a cast of characters that resembles a live-action episode of Beavis and Butt-head, American Movie follows Mark over several years as he struggles to finish his horror featurette Coven (which he pronounces "koe-ven"; when a cast member corrects him, he thinks it's a joke) ... and a struggle it is. As absurd as Mark and his friends are, American Movie never seems to ridicule them (though some would argue that its exploits their dull-wittedness). So what is it saying? Although the film lacks a coherent point and drags in spots, behind the low comedy and spectacle it offers a glimpse of -- to use one of Borchardt's favorite clichés -- the American Dream, but wrecked and abandoned in a trailer park. Unfortunately, the joke becomes strained if you've actually seen Coven, which accompanies American Movie at both festival screenings. Although Smith's film holds out the possibility that Mark might actually make a worthwhile film, Coven shatters that promise. For all of Borchardt's pretensions, he proves to be so totally inept and his film so misguidedly awful on every level that I began to wonder how Smith resisted the urge to step in and take over. Introduced and discussed by Smith, Borchardt and American Movie producer Sarah Price. (RH)
9:45 p.m.: DS: Creature. See Oct. 29, Tivoli.
West Olive
7 p.m.: CC: Unmade Beds. Nicholas Barker, U.S., 1997, 93 min. An acidly funny group portrait of four lonely, self-deluded New Yorkers looking for love through the personals, Unmade Beds exploits and empathizes, abuses and exalts, distorts and clarifies. Although technically a documentary, the film presents such a highly mediated view of its subjects -- images refracted through the sharp lens of director Barker -- that they become fact-based fictional creations: characters carefully shaped as much as persons closely observed. The film divides its time between two men -- an intense, humorlessly self-deprecating 40-year-old who believes he owes his bachelorhood to his short stature and a gruff, laconic would-be screenwriter who dresses like a Scorsese wiseguy -- and two women -- a young, savvy but overweight professional grimly determined to marry before she's 30 and a buxom, hilariously forthright divorcée who's on the hunt for a man with money. Although Barker gleefully shares his subjects' uglier traits and views, he constantly undercuts our first impressions by providing a fresh perspective, by softening a hard edge, by opening emotional veins and letting these people messily bleed. Unmade Beds may provoke its share of laughter, but it's at all of our expense. Presented by Ellen Futterman. (CF)
