Is Heather Morris Having a Baby Girl? Dot-Marie Jones Thinks So!
Word on the gleeky street is that Heather Morris is three months pregnant with her first kiddo, and her fellow Glee cast mates couldn't be more thrilled! Dot-Marie Jones (aka Coach Beiste) is especially pumped about Glee's newest mini Cheerio, and seems convinced that Heather is going to have a girl. "I just have a feeling it's a girl," Dot-Marie tells Hollywood.com. "I don't know if she knows that yet. I wish her all the best in everything. That kid is going to be so lucky."
Heather won't find out her baby's gender until around the fifth month of pregnancy, but Dot-Marie is already having dreams about this kiddo wearing pink. "What's hilarious is that last night I had this dream about [Heather] being pregnant," she says. "There were like 50 pairs of pink tennis shoes and one pair of blue that everybody had given her. It was some crazy-ass dream I had last night."
Um, that dream is completely normal compared to the kinds of Glee-themed fantasies we have. But moving on. Apparently, Dot-Marie was just as shocked as we were to learn about Heather's bundle of joy! "I still see these kids as kids," she says. "I mean, I understand that she is twenty-something years old but when I heard that I was like 'Wow!'"
Wow indeed. No word yet as to whether Heather will continue to appear on Glee once her baby is born (or how the reported pregnancy will be written into the series), but check back in with Wetpaint Entertainment for more news!

Khloe Kardashian
Khloe Kardashian Won't Divorce Lamar Odom Until Reality Show Ends — Report
Khloe Kardashian's relationship with hubby Lamar Odom may be virtually non-existent at this point, but the reality star isn't quite ready to pull the plug on her four-year marriage just yet.
RadarOnline reports that, despite multiple allegations about Lamar's affairs with other women and reports of a drug problem, Khloe doesn't need the added stress of a divorce and won't begin take legal action to end their union until Keeping Up With The Kardashians has finished filming.
A source close to the Kardashian family claims, "Khloe is steadfast, that she won't decide whether she wants out of the marriage until she is done shooting the current season. She has been through so much the last year with Lamar, and Khloe just doesn't want this to be played out in front of the cameras."
The insider adds, "It's a very sensitive situation, she is being a trooper and is being a total professional while shooting. Another reason why Khloe isn't making any decisions yet: She doesn't want this to loom over Lamar in the future, no matter what she decides to do."
Despite her willingness to hold off on filing for divorce, a Kardashian insider claims that the marriage has been irreparably damaged by Lamar's infidelities and there's no doubt that Khloe will eventually leave him.
"She just can't trust Lamar," says the tipster. "She could stand by Lamar if he had chosen to get help for his drug addiction, but the cheating is what she can't get over. Lamar was unfaithful to her for a very, very long time."
Do you think Khloe should divorce Lamar now, or can it wait?

Teens and their families struggle to overcome meth's grip
The ominous calls are already starting.
"Is Avree back yet?" barks a gruff threat of a voice.
"Who is this?" asks Debbie Tisinger, a Simi Valley mother of three.
Tisinger is worried and angry. Her 18-year-old daughter Avree has just been released from a stint in juvenile hall, the teen's ninth time for using methamphetamine, a powerful drug that's carving a canyon of crime, illness and social disruption through the county. Now the so-called friends and the dealers are circling again.
The family is Mormon, middle-class, modest. Tisinger has no map for this trip her daughter has taken, no guide for dealing with a drug as potent as meth.
Tisinger made Avree hide her face and hunker down in the car as they drove home from juvenile hall to their apartment complex off Los Angeles Avenue. Avree says at least eight dealers live there.
In the first hour home, the phone rings a dozen times. Tisinger lets the answering machine kick in.
"How do they know she was being released?" Tisinger asks, her voice thin with worry.
"I call it the net. They're everywhere in this county, these meth users and dealers. They're all connected. They make it so hard for these kids to get out. She has to cut them all off and start over for this to work."
Amanda Weiss chats on the phone with her boyfriend as probation officers rifle through her clothes drawers and bookshelves.
"I told them about you, how you've been clean for four years," she says.
Her boyfriend began using meth with he was 10. Amanda started at 13.
The Thousand Oaks honor student had told her parents she was going to a friend's but went to a party instead. She got drunk, was offered meth, and almost immediately plunged into an abyss of addiction, running away, expensive treatment clinics and long stays in juvenile hall.
Her father, Michael, is the chief executive officer of StreamCast Networks Inc., the company that makes the top-selling Morpheus peer-to-peer file-sharing software. Her mother, Chris, says the drug devastated their family for two years before a county drug court program helped Amanda get sober.
In the past five years, methamphetamine has surpassed heroin, cocaine and other substances to become the most commonly abused illegal drug in Ventura County. The effects of this rising tide of addiction now touch every community in the region, from poor urban neighborhoods to rural enclaves and exclusive, gated housing tracts.
Methamphetamine abuse has also begun to exert a powerful influence over a wide range of public institutions, from schools and hospitals to the civil and criminal court systems. This is the second installment in an occasional series by The Star examining the pervasive reach and corrosive influence of this hidden epidemic in Ventura County.
But the meth effects linger. Amanda is on medication for depression and bipolar symptoms.
"I think this meth is the worst thing. Meth is all over. It's rampant. It's so prevalent in every school, in every area, and we didn't know that," Chris Weiss says. "This is an honor roll student, a child that behaved, was part of the family. She stopped being that child. She became defiant, her grades went down, she did a 180-degrees change all the way."
Juan A. also was 13 when he took his first hit of meth, the county's No. 1 drug, a caustic concoction of paint thinner, cold medicine and drain cleaner. It was a gift from a friend.
Now, five years later, his teenage brain is a ghost town in places.
Sitting in juvenile hall, his seventh time in custody for testing dirty, he stumbles through his meth-damaged mind, searching for words, recent events, lessons learned.
"Meth changed me a lot," the Oxnard teen says of a habit that started off small and then grew to cost $300 a day. "I can't even think right, talk right, stuff like that. I have problems concentrating, remembering stuff. It's hard.
"It ruined my life. The first hit, I think it was the one that got me into it."
From Ventura to Simi Valley, hundreds of teenagers are using methamphetamine, at first recreationally but then habitually, quickly succumbing to its powerful addictive pull.
They come from every kind of neighborhood and family: middle-class homes, foster homes, wealthy households inside gated communities. Girls use it to lose weight. Boys use it for the energy boost it provides.
Their numbers have risen steadily in recent years and show no sign of abating. In the past five years, the drug has reached into every Ventura County high school, where 7 percent of juniors now say they have used meth, according to the 2006 California Healthy Kids Survey. That's higher than the national average of 6.2 percent, and on par with more urban counties like Los Angeles and San Diego.
In continuation schools attended by students who have fallen behind, one in three teenagers says they have used meth. Many are starting meth at the beginning of adolescence — 5 percent of high school freshmen in Ventura County say they have used it — which medical experts find particularly alarming.
"It's easier for kids to get meth than alcohol," says Gabriel Tobias, a probation officer with the county's juvenile drug court. "No one's checking ID. If you have enough money, you're old enough."
History: The stimulant known as amphetamine was developed in 1887. A Japanese pharmacologist developed the stronger derivative known as methamphetamine in 1893 from ephedrine.
The spread: German aviators and Japanese kamikaze pilots took methamphetamine during World War II. After the war, its use exploded in Japan, where there were half a million addicts and most early research was done. It is now considered a worldwide epidemic, sweeping Sweden, Russia, Southeast Asia and the United States.
Number of users: Two million Californians over age 12 have used meth; 10 million U.S. residents over 12 had used meth in 2005.
Effects: Increased energy, suppressed appetite and euphoria. Over time the drug's use causes significant injury to the brain. Many effects are reversible in adults, but the long-term impact on adolescents and babies exposed prenatally is unknown.
Chronic use: Causes the body to essentially burn itself up. Leads to malnutrition, paranoia, confusion, heart failure, coma and death.
Costs: Tens of billions nationwide.
Deaths: 16 caused by meth toxicity in Ventura County last year. Hundreds reported in the state's large cities.
Sources: Dr. Igor Koutsenok, substance abuse specialist at UC San Diego; California Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs; Ventura County Medical Examiner's Office; National Association of Counties; Drug Abuse Warning Network.
One in three teenagers thinks there's little risk in trying the drug, national surveys show. But meth, more than any other drug, poses the greatest risk for the casual young experimenter, said Dr. Rick Rawson, a researcher at UCLA studying the drug's effects on the brain.
"The adolescent brain is still evolving and maturing. That actually means the structures in the brain are not fully formed," Rawson said. "We know meth affects brain systems and neurons and interactions of neurons with each other. What we don't know is if you produce that kind of change in the developing brain, will the damage be greater or permanent?"
In hopes of answering that question, Rawson will be conducting a study this year taking brain scans of teenage meth users, he said.
Meth is a powerful stimulant that triggers the release of massive amounts of dopamine, the brain chemical that plays a key role in the experience of pleasure. Animal studies have revealed just how overwhelming this dopamine deluge can be: Sex causes brain dopamine levels to double; Cocaine use triples them; Meth shoots the neurotransmitter to 12 times its normal level.
Meth addictive, expensive
While it's a myth that one hit of meth immediately triggers addiction, Rawson said the risk of getting hooked is much greater than with other drugs.
Many are genetically predisposed to addiction. Others who have had some trauma, such as losing a parent or being abused, are also at greater risk, he said.
"Some kids take it and say it was just too powerful, but far too many kids take it one time and say it was the greatest experience they've ever had. It's a real Russian roulette," Rawson said.
Kids describe the feelings like this:
"You get a big ol' rush in your head and you start craving for more," Juan says. "You feel it all over your body, all tingly and stuff. What can you compare it to? Damn, it has no comparison to it."
Many begin spending $100 to $300 a day on meth, which sells retail on the streets for about $200 a gram, according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. A gram of powdered meth is about the size of a packet of sugar, good for several hits — each of which can produce a high lasting as long as 12 hours.
That kind of meth habit costs $30,000 to $60,000 a year.
So where does a teenager get that kind of money?
"It's inevitable — they steal it, steal cars, burglarize homes. We had one kid who stole prescription pads from his doctor's office then tried to fill them at the pharmacy to get other drugs to sell to buy meth," said Tobias, who travels from one end of the county to the other keeping watch over teenagers on drug court probation.
Avree stole from family and strangers, she said. She committed burglaries and pawned DVD players and grandparents' jewelry — crimes the energetic fresh-faced teenager likely would never do if the craving for meth were not so intense.
Arrests of juveniles for possession of meth are fairly small — nearly doubling from 44 to 72 from 2003 to 2005, then dipping again to 42 in 2006.
The more significant indicator is the number of kids being arrested for crimes because of their meth use, Tobias said.
At least 50 percent of the kids in juvenile hall have tried meth. By comparison, just 12 percent of juveniles getting treatment in the community list meth as their drug of choice.
Treatment difficult to find
Therapists who counsel meth users in the juvenile justice system are seeing a range of effects related to the drug. They say meth induces paranoia, violent behavior, severe depression and other symptoms that look like mental illness.
There are no inpatient clinics for teenagers in Ventura County, private or public. Parents who can afford it send their children to other counties and out of state to facilities that charge from $12,000 to $30,000 a month.
Private insurance covers at best 30 days of treatment. That may work for other drugs, but the grip of meth addiction is so deep and strong that at least nine months of regular daily treatment is needed, said Mary Stahlhuth, a therapist with the Behavioral Health Department stationed in juvenile hall.
Last year, 310 children under 18 received drug or alcohol treatment in the county. Of those, 12 percent cited meth as their primary drug.
But the need, according to alcohol and drug treatment experts, is in the thousands.
With treatment so expensive and so scarce, the criminal justice system has become the county's de facto inpatient drug clinic for teenagers and adults.
The Weiss's of Thousand Oaks spent tens of thousands of dollars — "I can't even count how much," Chris Weiss said — sending Amanda to two private clinics in Northern California and a ranch in Sylmar for inpatient treatment.
The Gauthier family of Simi Valley plowed through at least $10,000 trying to get their son Chad off meth. The drug had turned the former football player into a frightening stranger.
He ran away many times while on a meth high, sleeping in the hills above Simi Valley, at friends' houses and for a time under a bridge overpass. His father had to fetch him from a jail in Mexico at one point — an experience that shocked the quiet, middle-class family to its core.
"You feel alone in this, ashamed, like no other family is affected by this, but we learned how that's just not true in this county," said Richard Gauthier, a businessman. "So many families just like ours are going through the same thing."
Chad is clean now. But it wasn't the private treatment that enabled him to kick the habit — it was jail, and the constant supervision by his juvenile drug court probation officers.
Avree reassures her mother that this time, there will be no going back. She's 18 now. Another misstep and it's county jail or prison.
She took her first hit of meth at 13. She was overweight and self-conscious, and meth was a diet pill like no other.
While in custody, her naturally red hair which she had dyed a crazy mix of blond and black began to grow back, a match for the scattershot of freckles across her childish face. She also gained 25 pounds.
"I felt good about my body on meth," she said. "Now I don't. That's going to be my struggle — that and starting all over."

Orta grabs win in men's division
HUNTINGTON -- Spectators around the finish line for The Herald-Dispatch West Virginia 5K Championship didn't have to wait long from the 8 a.m. starting gun to see the overall winner.
Luis Orta, 24, who just finished his running career with the University of Kentucky, was back around to the finish line on the same street in 14 minutes and 56 seconds, setting a pace of 4:49 per mile. Second place finisher Matthew Brafford, 17, of Charleston, came in at 15:29.
Orta, like many runners who have talked about the 5K championship, was complimentary of the downtown Huntington course. The flat nature of the road race has allowed participants from all spectrums of competition to set a good pace that they can put on their record sheet since it's an officially sanctioned event.
A total of 674 runners and walkers posted finishing times.
"The course was great," Orta said. "I was a little lonely, though."
Orta's time was well off the record set last year by 40-year-old Kevin Castille, who posted a time of 14:32.
The 2013 winner said his pace was not his best.
"It was nothing great, or anything, but I was up in front so I didn't feel the need to push," he said.
As the first-place finisher in the men's division, Orta gets a cash prize of $300. Brafford receives $200 and third place finisher, Chuck Wentz, 24, of Huntington, receives $100.
"That's not bad," Orta said of the cash. "This is my first time here. We drive through West Virginia all the time, but we've never stopped here. Super nice. I like it."
One racer who had been around the course before was Noah Castro. The 10-year-old from Hurricane turned heads in 2012 at age 9 when he finished 52nd overall and first in his age group. He had the chance to become the fastest 10-year-old in America, officially, if he could finish the race under 17:50. Castro couldn't quite pull it off with a time of 18:13, though he improved his placement in the championship quite a bit from 2012, finishing 28th overall, and 27th in the men's division. He again handily won the 1-to-10 age group.
The race was also the last local appearance for Jacob Burcham, who recently graduated from Cabell Midland High School, where he shattered records in track and cross country, and helped the Knights to a few state championships while establishing a national reputation.
Burcham will run track and cross country for the Oklahoma Sooners beginning in the fall, and took it easy during Saturday's event, finishing 21st overall, 20th in the men's division, with a time of 17:45.
"It's more of a social event for me, I was just running with some friends," Burcham said. "I'm going to miss them, but I'll probably be back."

I was thinking the same thing! But after reading Mr. Barnum's seemingly unexcited attitude regarding this project, I'm going to cross my fingers that Fifth/Third Bank even agrees to stay on board with it. I find it hard to understand how he can find any downsides regarding Peregrine falcons nesting on their building.......the free advertising alone easily trumps a few clogged gutters!
Wow, what a typical "conservative" response.
Julie Mack hit the nail on the head with this article. Skum is too kind of a word to call these Senators. I can't believe the people of Michigan could possibly be this stupid and self-absorbed to have voted these cowards into office. But then again, did any of them mention this is how they would act once elected? Although when you vote Republican, you're usually voting for a rich, white, bible-thumping hypocrit, so I guess we should be used to behavior like this.
The Recreation Passport gets you into all State Parks and DNR-owned boat launches in the State of Michigan.
You got that right, politician! Once again, the Republicans started screaming that this $10 Recreation Passport was a "tax increase" even though you can opt out if you want to.
These right-wingers are insane! It's their greed and selfishness that is destroying this country. These are the same people who held unemployment extension and tax breaks for the middle class hostage unless Obama granted the same tax breaks to the richest 2% of Americans too. Whenever I hear someone say they're a Republican, I automatically think to myself......when's he gonna whip out his bible, gun, AARP card, and keys to his porsche that he drives to his corporation that pays workers $8.00/hour while he lives in a 12 bedroom mansion on easy street. It just makes me sick.....
Wow, what a great excuse for shooting a bear.......skinny with mange. The poor thing probably got caught in some skumbag trapper's snare, and starved because he couldn't get out for days or weeks until he chewed his own paw off. I say skumbag because these people are supposed to check their traps every other day. If there's a bear in it, the moron should have called the DNR in the first place.
This bear sounds like a hero to do what he did........and then he's shot by the side of the road. How totally and utterly disgusting.......
I guess even white trash has computer access......
HA HA. What a fricking loser! About time Ted was uncovered as the whackjob, loser, criminal that he is! Who's the P.O.S. now, Teddie boy! Glad he finally lost all credibility as a good gun-toting American. Watch the Republicans and the NRA who backed his skumbag views scramble away from him like cockroaches!
I can't believe Stephanie Moore got re-elected. Unfortunately, she's been nothing but an embarassment to Kalamazoo since she's been on the commission
I wonder who's going to fill her swimming pool next year?
Go Kalamazoo! I knew there was more than one reason why I've lived here for 39 years........Bigtry was defeated again tonight!
Unfortunately, some people are just throwaways. This kid is one of them. Just like the skum that beat up the bicycle rider....throwaways. Put me in charge....the death penalty would be brought back in a heartbeat. My sister married a black guy with no job or high school education. She gave him a home, worked for a local government while he sat on his lazy butt, and gave him a child. One day, he strangled her, shot her in the head, and dragged her body out to the garage and rolled it up in a tarp. He then took her car and jewelry, and tried to skip town. He's doing (only) 24 years....but death would be a much better ending if you ask me! I'll be there at his parole hearing...you can count on that!

Like I said it just comes with the territory. Installing PriiLoader is fairly safe but I'm not going to lie and say no it can't brick your Wii because it can. PriiLoader 0.5 was bricking Wiis left and right. These are Daco's words about 0.5, "THIS VERSION IS REMOVED DUE TO A BUG THAT COULD BRICK YOUR WII DURING INSTALL". Now do you think PriiLoader is completely safe to install and I should just say go for it you'll be fine? I say if you are afraid of bricking your Wii don't even hack it because the potential is always going to be there.

You serious? I count three threads you started on this (admittedly, two are closed). This one, this one, and that one. A little busy being all over the proverbial map, I take it? LOL...

The left-hand wall of the cave leads right, then steeply back left to reach the capping roofs. Finish powerfully through these. Excellent, all the right holds just where you need them and the difficulties are short-lived.
F6b and 3 stars. Good climbing escalating to a fine finish. The holds take a little working out though, the last moves are very nice.
Steep moves into hole on right, nice move to gain lower off out of the hole to the left.
lanzarce a la derecha para pasar la cueva. no de facil intuicion si vas a vista. si llegas ariba sin pararte te da mucha autoestima.
The easiest 6b of our trip by far. Difficulties very short, 1 star for that reason.

Since so many people are going to be watching the super bowl, I've decided to take the familyto DLR instead. Hopefully the crowds will be down. Is anyone else going to be there next Sunday?
Since so many people are going to be watching the super bowl, I've decided to take the familyto DLR instead. Hopefully the crowds will be down. Is anyone else going to be there next Sunday?
Luckily, I'll be in Anaheim for a convention. Forget about the Super Bowl, I'm going to Disneyland! (go Eagles)
><> just call me n8 <><
My friend and I did this one year and found the park chocked full with children, moms and all the gay men in Orange County...
Uh-oh....I hope this doesn't become a trend. My wife and I will be there, as well. Please everyone; Stay home and watch the Super Bowl. :devil:
Hubby and I went (BC-before child) about 10 years ago...it was empty. This was also the year that Super Bowl was held in the Rose Bowl. The majority of the people in the park were moms and their kidlets whose husbands were at the Rose Bowl. It was also raining the night before and sprinkling a tad that day. The park was empty by 2 as the kidlets had to go to their hotels for naps. Every ride was a walk-on.
I took the kids to the park on SBS last year. We had a great time. It wasn't too crowded. Many years ago, this used to be the perfect, slow day to visit DL. These days, not so much. The same used to be true of Mother's Day too.
Anything listed on the park maps as an attraction is fair game for inclusion in the Rally.
I cannot confirm nor deny the inclusion of any attraction in the Rally.
May the Gumballs Be with You...Always.
Sounds like any day at DL.Originally Posted by Gemini Cricket

Ahoy all,
It will still be Gift-With-Purchase(pins) Sunday that day(the first Sun of the month). So most pin traders will be there albeit maybe a shortened version(me 9:00am-2:00pm or so). I wish they were on different days. I want to do both.
Aprille :-)
So, now I'll not only have to watch out for strollers everywhere, but geeks with briefcases, as wellOriginally Posted by prillzilla
I've been to DL a number of SBS & have never seen it any different than any other Sunday - except for the sports geeks with their radios and/or hand-held TV's following the game as they stand in line, etc. I must have missed the day it was at the Rose Bowl.
Most pin traders carry soft cases to hold their pins, never seen a briefcase.
Some of us collectors do predate the pin people and no, I don't consider myself a geek.
Uh, look at the jpg under my name to the left of this.

I've gone to the resort two years for Superbowl Sunday and I was dissappointed with the crowds... way more people than I thought. The first year I thought it was a fluke (the Superbowl was in San Diego), so I went the second year... never again. It seemed busier than your average off-season Sunday. It's still better than any August Sunday, but do not go expecting it to be light. By my estimation, it's not.
I'd rather invite a couple friends over, watch the commercials, and eat lots of spicy appetizers and tacos during the game.
Ah, the old "go somewhere while everyone is staying at home and watching the Super Bowl" trick.
I did this exact scheme last year. The fatal flaw in my plan was that I went to Las Vegas, forgetting about all the sports bettors. Oops, backfired!
This sounds like one of those deals where everyone goes thinking that no one is gonna be there... hehe.
That happens a lot in my restaurant... the crowds will be huge and people will say "gee... I didn't think anyone would be out today!" Everyone else just had the same thought.
It will be crowded. I'll probibly go early to watch people and end up at the Lost Bar. Can't beat that. Yes, it is a favurate hang out.

Six Carbon 3
Issue : Mar 2009
Editorial Review
WHAT'S IN A NUMBER?: The sixth element on the periodic table is carbon, but it's the number one feature of this race-ready bike, right down to the dropouts. STAY POWER: An oversize drive-side chainstay helps minimize flex and maximize efficiency; hourglass-shaped seatstays dampen energy- zapping vibration. SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE: Plan on heading for the hills? The Six Carbon 3 is available with compact gearing.?Emily Furia

New Year's Eve 2013 at Heaven
New Year's Gala 2013!
What to expect:
The ball is dropping; the champagne is gonna be popping...
Join us again this year by bringing in the next!
Orlando's ONLY true RED CARPET New Year's Eve Event!
If you happened to attend our last NYE party and thought that was off the chain then wait till you see it this year! To this day we still hear people talking about that awesome night. A lot of precise planning went into it and the result was one of the most memorable NYE's parties most had ever attended! The only negative thing was lack of space. We ran out of room and the event completely sold out almost 2 weeks before NYE!
Fast forward, present day...
This year we have been planning for quite some time and we are confident this will be the best NYE gala Orlando has ever seen! Trying to find a perfect venue is NOT an easy task. We have looked at many and have finally made our decision…
Here's just a small sample of what our guests can expect this NYE at one of Orlando's classiest venues… And when I say "classy" this venue has spared no expense! From indoor LED light shows, advanced wall projection screens showing the "Time Square Ball Drop" live, Private VIP Club, an 11,000 sq ft indoor dance, mingling and cocktail area and a 2000 sq ft outdoor deck area that sits against a beautiful LED lit lake!
What to wear:
Dress to impress, this is a FORMAL event so look sharp! Most of you, like Astryd and I, are tired of the same old boring downtown scene when it comes to special events! Don't get me wrong, it's always fun to go downtown and tie one on but a special event like NYE deserves a special venue! When you're doing it up for this special night no one feels like dealing with downtown crowds, long lines, traffic and overpriced entrance fees that get you virtually nothing...
What is included with your entry?
* Access to one of the biggest, best events of the year!
* Shuttle bus access to/from Downtown Orlando running from 9PM – 3AM!
(Corner of Church & Garland under I4)
* UNLIMITED Premium Liquor, Wine and Beer coupled with numerous full service
bars and bartenders!
* Champagne toast for everyone at midnight!
* UNLIMITED Hors d'oeuvres all night long catered by Millienia Catering!
* DJ JIMMY JOSLIN energizing the dance floor all night!
* Awesome sophisticated South Beach environment!
* VIP guests enjoy UNLIMITED TOP SHELF Cocktails, Private VIP Club and Private
VIP Bar Staff (not just some roped off area)!
* A classy formal event, worth getting dressed up for to either take your special someone
or meet someone new.
How to get there:
The venue is about 8 minutes from downtown Orlando, off of SandLake Road and Presidents Dr. Very easy to get to especially if you're taking advantage of our full shuttle bus service that is picking up from Downtown Orlando under I4. This shuttle service will be starting promptly at 9PM and running until 3AM going back and forth between locations. Did I mention the shuttle bus service is NO COST to our guests?! If you choose to drive don't worry, there is safe, well lit parking for up to 400 cars with full security on-site. Keep in mind there will be one shuttle bus running, so it is possible there will be a wait at 2AM in which case you may need a cab. We don't think this will happen but just a heads up if you're taking the shuttle.
Physical Address:
Heaven (Yes, that's the name of the venue!)
8240 Exchange Drive Orlando, FL 32809
Tickets go on sale NOW. If you remember a couple years ago many waited until a couple weeks before and we were sold out. This event WILL sell out again.

The M5 mat is a series of holes surrounded by fully vulcanized latex, or latex/Nitrile mix. It is flexible, hardwearing and long lasting. The holey mats (Or ring mats, honeycomb grass protection mats) come in two sizes and two grades. The honeycomb mats are ideal for allowing new grass growth on poached areas, reducing mud in heavily used gateways, creating slip free pathways, grass protection, or for containing gravel. Because the honeycomb grass protection mats (Ring mats) are flexible, they can be laid straight onto existing grass, or hard standing with no pre-preparation. They are totally non slip in any weather making them ideal for use as muddy gateway mats.
M522 for poached, soft or muddy ground, gateways or play areas. Green, 1.2m x 0.8m. *Low stock, please call to discuss your requirements*
M52LO is the heavy duty version, and a best seller. On firm substrate they are ideal for car parks or heavy vehicle traffic, such as tractors. 1m x 1.5m and black in colour.
M52LO are now accredited with a 2.5m Critical Fall Height. Please see our news page dated 24/05/10 for more information
