Use and
dispose of fuels and hazardous products properly
Fuels and other household hazardous products that are improperly
used, stored or disposed can enter groundwater and surface water
supplies, impacting water quality and human health.
Household products
are hazardous if they include ingredients that, when improperly
pose dangers to human health or
the environment. A variety of household products are hazardous. Motor
oil, pesticides, oil-based paints, mothballs, flea collars,
weed killers, medicine, and
household cleaners may seem like
everyday items, but they are examples of household hazardous products.
Specifically, a substance is considered hazardous if it is corrosive,
explosive, flammable, or if it contains toxic chemicals or any
other potentially harmful materials.
Motorized equipment that is not regularly and properly maintained
can result in gasoline or oil leaks. As little as one gallon
of gasoline can contaminate groundwater above health advisory
levels. Gasoline may also contain additives like MTBE, which
is highly soluble in water, and once in the groundwater, can
move quickly and be very difficult to clean up.

Do you believe in ghosts? Lots of people do! Even if you're a non-believer, you may still find the subject of ghosts fascinating.
Since the "appearance" of ghosts usually has some connection to a location and its past, ghost hunting can be an exciting way of learning about a place's history.
Some ghost hunters discover a ghost at a certain location, then explore that location's history to try to explain its presence. Others go to historical places where they think ghosts may exist and seek them out. Either way, knowledge of history is an important ghost-busting tool.
Are some historic places more likely to be haunted than others? Many ghost seekers believe it is important that the site have some sort of tragic event associated with its past. Tragedies like car crashes and murders are often thought to be responsible for the haunting of a site.
If you believe and want to go ghost-hunting, Point Lookout State Park is a good place to start. Many famous ghost hunters have great stories of the many ghosts they've encountered there.
In the 1860s during the Civil War, Point Lookout was the site of a U.S. hospital and a prison camp for Confederate soldiers. Thousands of confederate prisoners, along with hundreds of sick and wounded Union soldiers died and were buried there.
The remains of the Union soldiers were moved to other cemeteries after the war, while the Confederate soldiers were left in unmarked, swampy graves.
In 1910 when the U.S. government returned to Point Lookout to mark the graves, they did not know who was buried where. To make matters worse, the bodies were not buried in coffins, and some of them had washed out of the graves. A decision was then made to move the bodies inland to higher ground.
This combination of the site's tragic history and the removal of the bodies from their original resting place, might be responsible for the many reported sightings of Union and Confederate spirits roaming the park.
If you'd like to learn more about Point Lookout State Park and its ghostly occupants, park rangers host ghost programs, tours and hayrides. For information call 301-872-5688.

A Letter of Gratitude to the Wise Women of Yoga. ~ Christine Festa
I see you.
You come to class with integrity and you carry your body with grace. You are in your 50s, 60s, or maybe in
your 70s. Sometimes you are wearing simple sweatpants and a t-shirt, other times you show up sporting a big rock on your finger and Lululemon pants so fitted it's as though they were hand-sewn for you. Rock or not, those fingers have fine lines, and those lines represent years of wisdom gained.
I hear you.
You let out a gentle sigh as you stretch back to downward facing dog. It's a sigh that signals comfort and familiarity. You've been here before, maybe hundreds of times, or maybe thousands of times, but in this pose you find release. You find peace. You go into your body and forget what is happening around you.
I practice with you.
You might glance over at me and smile. What exactly is behind that smile? Do you snicker to yourself as I set up my brand new Jade mat, because you remember a time when there were no sticky mats? Have you been practicing that long? Do you smile at me because I remind you of a daughter or a granddaughter? Smile aside, please know that it is an honor to practice next to you.
I teach you.
Again, you smile at me. Perhaps I say something that truly resonates with you, or maybe I say something
that you've heard, in some form hundreds of times before, from dozens of other yoga teachers you've studied with.
You take a breath as my hands adjust you. My hands handle your body with care—a body that has seen decades of joy, sorrow, gain, loss, history and triumph. I handle you with care not because I think you are fragile, but because I hold such respect for you and where you've been.
I handle you knowing that where I take you might not be new, but I hope, I just hope, that it helps you find some sort of release.
I notice you.
You float into headstand, as you have hundreds of times before. Your mind is calm and clear. It seems as if
you've completely forgotten that there are other people in the room. You breathe, you press your foundation into the mat, your toes stretch towards the sky, and you find stillness. You notice me.
I fly into crow pose with little effort. Perhaps you used to do the same. Maybe you've retired the pose
because your body has changed, and it might no longer be appropriate.
Perhaps you look at me with longing, wishing that you still had that type of practice—more likely, you look at me knowing that you were once there, and one day I will be where you are, watching a younger version of me. I bet you could care less if everyone else in the class flies into crow.
After decades of yoga asana, you've long left your ego behind. You are confident, cool, and collected. You don't need to perform for anyone. You don't need to do every pose. My ego is busy whispering in my ear to fly higher and do more. Maybe we can grab coffee after class and you can help teach me how to keep it quiet?
I tip my hat to you.
Perhaps you are not the woman that I've described above. Maybe you recently came to yoga, and wish you had discovered it sooner. I hope you know it doesn't matter the point at which you discovered it, what matters is that you are here now, in the present. I hope you know that it is something that can be a part of you for the rest of your life.
No matter your level of yoga experience, your level of life experience brings an element to your practice that I won't be able to comprehend for decades to come. It doesn't matter what the body physically can or cannot do on the mat, what matters is what transpires in your body and your mind while you flow, meditate, and breathe. The "stuff" that no-one else can see but you.
I bow to you, wise woman, however old you are and no matter where you are within your yoga practice. I hope you know that I want to be like you when I am also in my wiser years.
You inspire me at every moment. Your presence reminds me that I can also keep my practice with me for the rest of my life, no matter what form it takes. Thank you for showing up to the mat week after week.
Thank you, thank you, and thank you again, from the bottom of this much-less-wise yogini's heart.

Such a beautiful article! I smiled all the time while reading. I practiced on a prayer rug at home and a simple towel in class back in 1974. No mats, bolsters, blocks. Yoga clothes were sweats or satsang 'whites' not Lululemon black. But that's not what made me smile most. It's ALL of your words and how you wrote with such an open heart. You understand that it doesn't matter when someone starts a practice or which asana they can or can't do. What matters is that one practices at all and connects with all others honestly with respect, love and kindness. I am honored that someone younger looks at older women with gratitude this way. Too often we become invisible with age. Thank you. You are a wiser yogini than you know!
Your words just made me cry. Thank you so much. Namaste.
As a 60 + yogini, I cried reading this. Oh, you are wise, so very wise. Thank you for sharing this wisdom.
Ms Marcia , I am with you . wise wise wise ……
Thank you so much for your kind words. Namaste.
As a 62 year old who started practicing in 1967 and recently started teaching, I am sooooooo moved by this article. Thank you <3 Namaste and hugs.
Yes jann , I too loved this article .
Thank you so much for the kind words and best of luck teaching!! Namaste.
Oh I love this , so beautifully written , Full of grace , love and respect . Almost brought a tear to my eye ….
I am 57 , I have been practicing yoga for about 8yrs. Currently taking my yoga teacher training .
I too do not care if I can do a handstand , head stand or flying crow…. It is important to me to keep moving my body ..
I am hopeful to look as beautiful , graceful and relaxed as this lovely woman .~Namaste~
Your kind words are treasured and much appreciated. Thanks for reading. Good luck with teacher training, it changed my life!!
One day, young one, you'll look back and smile at all asana's you've formed, knowing that there comes a time when you move beyond that, and finally understand what yoga truly means, you'll sit quietly and connect within, radiating that with what you are connected with and you'll no longer be attached to whether you can kick asana or crunch into crow. My deepest wish for you is that you may experience that too..
I'm looking forward to it. Thanks for the kind and graceful words. Namaste.
Hey, some of us really ARE fragile … not looking for "release" in a yank adjustment … agile but limited in physical range, so to speak.
Too many young teachers around, would never think of adjusting someone like me, as they would their frail grandma (assuming they actually LIKED their grandma ….) …
I weighed this little—last—when I'd been 12 years old … and don't want the whirlwind tour for my "journey" …
As the young teacher who wrote this article, I hear you loud and clear. I never yank anyone in my adjustments (nor should any teacher for that matter). Also, I ask each and everyone of my students if they have any injuries or conditions that I should be aware of before starting class. I hope all teachers do this. Thank you for your words of wisdom. Namaste!
At 62 and just back into yoga after decades away, I loved this! My Jivamukti teacher is so gentle but helpfully demanding. The young Kripalu pup elsewhere let me overdo and pull something in my back, more interested in the more experienced, supple ones. Thank you for this!
At 68, I am so fortunate to have yoga mates in their 70s and 80s. I think of them as wise yoga women, but Christine is also a wise yoga woman. This article touched me to tears as I realized that I'm pretty wise too. Thank you.
What a beautiful article.

Good examples. Setup for sure with strong direction or intense charisma. I know I couldn't walk up and take a street shot like that.
Here's a possibility. He was keenly aware of his plane of focus, it may be slightly angled so it runs from the fruit boxes on left to the carriage across the street.
I think he may have retouched the luggage on the distant wagon in pencil to make the outlines sharper than they really are.

God, when iI saw the title, I instantly thought, "Well, It's dead :(", THEN I start readin... and no, I have NO experience whatsoever in guii triggers and no vJASS coding XP :D good luck though!
Wc3:WoW is now being directed into a new direction - a direction it should have gone months or even years ago. GUI Triggers!
Posted by Craka_J on Nov 22nd, 2010
Over the extended period of time the mod has been unable to get back onto its feet, I have been trying to think of new strategies to recruit potential developers for the mod to allow the further development of this over-ambitious mod. My main objective was to seek experienced vJASS coders who could efficiently create triggers via vJASS code, which is much more efficient and expansive than GUI triggers.
But the community of vJASS coders has dimmed out greatly over the years and so it has become that much more difficult to discover any potentially interested and skilled coders. However, the community of GUI triggerers is quite large still because it's much easier to work with than code. Although GUI cannot get us too far in the direction I had hoped to lead Wc3:WoW into, it is 'enough' to allow Wc3:WoW to be playtested.
With that said, the Wc3:WoW team is in need of GUI triggerers and vJASS coders. The exception of GUI triggers does not mean we'll be accepting anyone who can create a simple trigger; GUI triggerers are expected to understand how to make use of variables and avoid creating unorganized clustered triggers. GUI is slower than vJASS, as far processing goes, so it is very important to create triggers in the cleanest and most leak-free way possible. More information on the mod's development progress will be posted when a triggerer has been selected.
Thanks for reading!
God, when iI saw the title, I instantly thought, "Well, It's dead :(", THEN I start readin... and no, I have NO experience whatsoever in guii triggers and no vJASS coding XP :D good luck though!
Dead? No. I actually have confidence now that the life of the mod will spring back up and be active once again. Right now, Misha is working on a player model for the Tauren race. It's great so far and I'm helping him test the attachment points and refer different animations to use for it from pre-existing animated models in WarCraft III such as the Peon's death animation.
i can help a bit with GUI if u want, i have bean using GUI for like 5 years now

June 11, 2010
By Robert B. Bluey
Leaders of the National D-Day Memorial Foundation will gather today for their annual meeting. They'll select a new president and review other business, but there's one thing they won't be talking about: the memorial's controversial sculpture of Soviet dictator Josef Stalin, unveiled last week on D-Day's 66th anniversary.
The addition of Stalin's bust next to those of Allied leaders such as FDR and Churchill angered veterans in Bedford, Va., sparked criticism from the area's Democratic congressman, and drew the ire of Lee Edwards, chairman of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation. Small wonder. Stalin was once an ally of Adolf Hilter. His ruthless domestic policies resulted in the deaths of at least 20 million people.
The uproar hasn't persuaded the foundation to reconsider. Four of the six board members told me they support the Stalin bust, and retired Col. William McIntosh, the foundation's departing president, was resolute in his defense of it.
"No, we're not going to revisit that," McIntosh said in a lengthy interview about the sculpture. "Obviously, nobody likes to have stories that have a negative thrust, but I mean the decision was taken years ago and not lightly—and not by lightweights either."
McIntosh explained that the Stalin bust is part of a display of World War II leaders. Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry Truman, British Prime Ministers Winston Churchill and Clement Attlee, Chinese leader Chiang Kai-shek and French Prime Minister Charles de Gaulle all are represented.
But this is a D-Day memorial, after all, and that's what spurred the criticism. The Soviet dictator didn't send troops to storm the beaches at Normandy in 1944. When asked about this, McIntosh offered this justification for Stalin's inclusion: "Basically, he made his launch of a counterattack against Germany contingent on the opening of the Western front."
Critics are unmoved. Rep. Tom Perriello (D-Va.), who represents Bedford, sponsored a bill authorizing Interior Secretary Ken Salazar to study the feasibility of designating the National D-Day Memorial as a unit of the National Park System. But Perriello opposes the presence of the Stalin bust, according to his spokeswoman. He also believes the Park Service should remove the sculpture if the memorial is designated as a national park.
The negative attention hasn't dissuaded McIntosh and the foundation's board members. In fact, most offered a vigorous defense of the Stalin bust and dismissed the controversy.
"There are people who feel that he is being honored by having the bust there and that's not the case whatsoever," said Marsha Melton, vice chairman of the National D-Day Memorial Foundation. "And, if you read the plaque that's there, it explains his part in the planning of D-Day, but it also tells of the terrible things that he did as well."
Board member Donna Clark said the Stalin bust is a "done deal," and the board won't reconsider it.
"I was quite surprised," Clark said of the criticism. "The mission of the memorial is education. By not acknowledging what happened, you don't change what happened."
Most of the board members, including Richard Maxwell, said the controversy was overblown. McIntosh condemned people who haven't visited the memorial for waging the negative attacks.
"If you look at the history of public sculpture, what you will find is any time you put a piece of statuary large or small in a public place, there will be people who will react very positively and very negatively," McIntosh said. He noted outcries when FDR was sculpted in a wheelchair, Christopher Newport appeared with both hands, and Judas was depicted in the Last Supper. "You're not going to make everybody happy when you do this."
It remains unknown who donated the estimated $50,000 for the bust. Treasurer Linda Westenburger declined to comment and hung up the phone. McIntosh said that the donor wishes to remain anonymous.
With the memorial serving as a popular spot for school groups and potentially part of the National Park System in the future, it's likely to be a continuing subject of controversy—even if the foundation itself doesn't want to admit it.

Zazza & Julie Are Bringing Have Fun At Work Day To One Lucky Office
January 27, 2014 10:59 AM
Tomorrow is Have Fun At Work Day. We have fun at our job, but we know that not every workplace has fun all the time. That's why we want to bring some fun to an office somewhere in Dallas tomorrow.
We had some great calls from offices around DFW hoping to get a little fun to brighten up their work day tomorrow. Listen to their stories!
Congrats to Dana and her coworkers at Southwest Airlines! They'll get a nice break from working on thousands of invoices this week.

I'm heading south just above Knights Landing, i.e., maybe 20 miles northwest of Sacramento. I've been doing this run off and on for something close to 35 years. We often get storms (often rather nasty, with sleet) out of the south, but I don't think I've ever seen a front here so clearly defined.

2 Boutique Hotels, Aloft And Le Meridien, Ready For Guests
Tuesday, June 10, 2014
Two upscale boutique hotels -- each with its own style created inside renovated properties -- will debut in downtown Tampa in coming weeks.
Aloft Tampa Downtown
is targeting the next generation of business travelers hip to a sleek, modern look, tech-savvy gadgets, trending music and a social atmosphere.
Le Meridien Tampa
is a contemporary version of a grand hotel experience in the renovated and restored Classic Federal Courthouse with a sweeping staircase, soaring ceilings, marble and terrazzo features, state-of-the-art technology and French-style dining at Bizou Brasserie under the direction of a Parisian chef.
Both are under the umbrella of
Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide
Former and current judges get a walk-through of Le Meridien on June 11, trailed by media. Doors open to the public June 16. A grand opening for the hotel, located at 601 N. Florida Ave., is slated for June 26.
Two blocks over at Kennedy Boulevard and Ashley Drive, Aloft is poised to open on the Tampa Riverwalk, the city's vision of a grand promenade along the Hillsborough River. By design, the hotel's ground floor, with Aloft's signature w xyz bar, is an open portal onto Riverwalk, breaking down barriers between inside and outside, and creating a new public space.
"It feels open to anyone to eat, drink and relax," says developer Punit Shah, CEO of
Liberty Group
. "There are no walls, no delineation of space."
An invitation-only opening is scheduled July 10 though the hotel's 130 loft-style rooms likely will be ready for occupancy sooner. And a grand opening for the public will be held at a later date. "It will be Tampa's hippest and coolest hotel," says Shah. "It's unprecedented."
Aloft Tampa is the fifth Aloft hotel in Florida. It was developed by Liberty Group in partnership with
Convergent Capital.Parners
. Starwood plans its sixth Aloft for New Orleans in 2015.
Aloft will feature live music events, video and audio streaming capabilities, large HDTVs, the re:mix lounge, a waterfront pool, a 24-hour fitness center and a rooftop terrace with spectacular views of the river and minarets at University of Tampa.
Room check-in will be available with an app and a smartphone finger tap. Via text message, Shah says, "(The hotel door) will pop right open. Everything in the hotel is designed to be state-of-the-art, the highest and best available."
The addition of Aloft and Le Meridien to downtown's hotel landscape is good news for
Visit Tampa Bay
, which keeps a watchful eye on Hillsborough County's hotel bed tax revenues. This year already is on a pace to surpass more than $21.8 million collected in 2007, the best revenue year before the recession crushed the economy.
Last year's revenues came within nearly $650,000 of matching the 2007 record. Already the revenues through May of this year are $1.6 million higher than revenues collected through May 2013.
"We are thrilled with these two properties," says Santiago Corrada, Visit Tampa Bay's CEO. "The industry is doing well. We're back to pre-recession numbers."
But Corrada is hoping for additional hotels downtown to accommodate more conventions, larger conventions and multiple conventions at the same time at the Tampa Convention Center. "We need more hotel capacity downtown because we have a convention center that needs to be running at capacity," he says.

Florida's Largest Ice Hockey Complex Coming To Pasco
Tuesday, June 10, 2014
Youth ice hockey players will soon be lacing up skates at the largest ice rink facility in Florida.
Ice hockey booster and
Z Mitch
VP Gordie Zimmerman plans to build the 150,500-square-foot Cypress Creek Ice & Sports Complex in Wesley Chapel at the interchange of Interstate 75 and State Road 56. His partners in Z Mitch are VP Tarra Mitchell and President George Mitchell. As part of the ambitious plan, a 120-room hotel also is proposed just south of the sports complex.
Z Mitch is going through the permitting phase but Zimmerman says site preparation should begin within a month, with a planned opening in fall of 2015. The hotel is in planning stages.
The approximately $20 million complex will have four rinks including one at Olympic-size and two at standard size. A fourth space will be multipurpose to accommodate ice skating as well as other sports such as lacrosse, arena football, volleyball and basketball. Meetings and high school graduations can be held there.
Paralympic sled hockey, speed and figure skating, also are planned uses for the Olympic rink.
There also will be a restaurant, pro-shop and office, Zimmerman says.
Long-term, Zimmerman hopes to establish an ice academy similar to one at Saddlebrook for young tennis players. "He'll actually have students who would want to make it in the big leagues or go on to college and would come down here for training," says Ed Caum,
Pasco County
tourism director.
Tampa is the site for the 2016 NCAA Men's Frozen Four tourmanent. "This just opens up more opportunities...(Pasco) still has room to grow so we look forward to promoting venues for Tampa being a major sports destination," Caum says.
Forget I-75. Caum says,"We'll become Icer-75 corridor."
While the hotel is in planning stages, Caum says the intent of Z Mitch is to open a full-service, flag hotel. Pasco currently has a hotel deficit, he adds.
Zimmerman anticipates that his facility initially will ease a shortage in Tampa Bay of ice rinks available for practice. Now he says local high schools, including Wiregrass Ranch where he coaches, and others sometimes travel long distances and compete for time at Brandon Ice Sports Forum. Another facility is in Ellenton."They just cannot get enough practice ice," says Zimmerman who is a former general manager at the Brandon facility. "This will fill a big void."
The Cypress Creek ice complex can be a draw for adult, youth and college-level leagues and teams, and tournaments. Zimmerman also anticipates interest from National Hockey League teams that would want additional practice time before leaving Tampa for their next scheduled games.
Zimmerman says he has been waiting three years to launch his project. A potential deal in South Tampa didn't work out. But based on a research/marketing study, he says," This one was the best site we could come up with as far as demographics and access."

Aquatica On Bayshore To Rise In South Tampa
Tuesday, June 10, 2014
Pre-construction sales for Aquatica on Bayshore are attracting young executives and empty nesters who want a prime spot at the most desirable location in town -- Bayshore Boulevard.
The sleek, all-glass facade of the 15-story residential tower at 3001 Bayshore Boulevard will have spectacular water views from the double terraces off each condominium. Square footage of units range from about 2,300 to more than 4,700. Sales prices are from $838,000 to about $2.1 million.
"Daily, people are signing contracts," says real estate agent Toni Everett of
The Toni Everett Company
New York-based architect Joseph Galea, and his company JFG Architects, designed the building, which is very contemporary. Its glass front is inspired by "capturing 3 perfect waves frozen in time," according to the
Amenities include a swimming pool and heated whirlpool on the fourth floor deck, two gated entrances, a fitness center, conference and media rooms, and a party and catering kitchen.
The goal is to sell at least 50 percent of Aquatica prior to a construction start. Everett estimates the half way point has been reached, with a probable construction start next year.
Construction preparation is under way and the vacant spit of land at Bayshore and Bay-to-Bay boulevards is now fenced off. The city of Tampa leased the lot for more than 15 years. It was a popular parking spot for people headed for a jog or walk on Bayshore's waterfront sidewalk. Also, the Bayshore Patriots met weekly to cheer on MacDill military personnel driving by on Bayshore.
Bayshore visitors will have to find other parking spots but the Bayshore Patriots sign and flag remain.
It has been nearly a decade since the project first was proposed by Citivest Construction Corporation which waited through Tampa City Council scrutiny, legal challenges and a failed economy to reach this point.
"There has been a revival generally of the market," says Citivest President Bill Robinson. "It's not great but it's on the mend. Employment figures are better. It's a favorable financial market for mortgages."

Lennar Homes Builds Homes in North Hyde Park And Ruskin
Tuesday, June 03, 2014
Home building is coming back into fashion as the economy shows signs of improving and people are again thinking about the long-range value of owning a home.
Lennar Homes
recently broke ground on 39 for-sale town homes in North Hyde Park in Tampa and held an open house for Cypress Creek, a subdivision of single-family homes in Ruskin off U.S. Hwy. 19 in the South Shore area.
Homes at
Cypress Creek
will start in the mid-$100,00 and will feature energy efficient appliances, low maintenance flooring and maple wood cabinets.
Nearby a new hospital is under construction. And, a planned Amazon distribution center is expected to bring about 1,000 jobs to the area, making Ruskin one of the fastest growing communities in Hillsborough County. According to a recent Gallup poll, many residents want to leave the state where they live but in Florida far fewer say they look for greener pastures elsewhere.
"We know that people love Tampa Bay like we do, and we're committed to making this the ideal place to call home," says Francine Miller, Lennar's director of sales operations.
In North Hyde Park, Lennar's town home development, in partnership with
SoHo Capital
, is the first large project in the neighborhood in recent years to specifically target home buyers.
Ranging from about 2,000 to 2,400 square feet, the town homes are expected to be particularly attractive to young professionals, starter families and people looking to down-size from surrounding neighborhoods such as Hyde Park.
Starting prices are anticipated to be about $200,000 to $250,000. Construction is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
"We're hoping this will spur even more development in West Tampa and beyond," says Mark Metheny, division president of Lennar Homes.
The town homes are located at West Lemon Street and North Oregon Avenue, next to apartment complexes, NoHo Flats and Vintage Lofts.
The North Hyde Park neighborhood is a critical piece of Mayor Bob Buckhorn's vision for re-inventing Tampa's urban core.
"You're going to see a transformative movement in this city but it starts with projects like this," says Buckhorn. 'We're not going to miss this window. This is going to be a great city."
The mayor envisions a "work, live and play environment" that includes Kennedy Boulevard anchored by the University of Tampa and
Tampa General Hospital
. Both are engaged in major expansion projects including TGH's proposal to build a rehabilitation hospital on the long-vacant Ferman autodealership property fronting Kennedy.
But the city's boundaries also will sweep in the proposed Jewish Community Center that will open in a remodeled Fort Homer Hesterly Armory on Howard Avenue, and nearly 150 acres in West Tampa bordering the Hillsborough River.
The redevelopment of Water Works Park and the opening of the Ulele Restaurant in Tampa Heights also are part of the city's transformative master plan. In the same area SoHo Capital owns about 37 acres that is slated for residential and commercial development.
"All of it will complement each other," says Buckhorn. "This (town homes) is part of the mosaic."
Adam Harden, one of the principals in SoHo Capital, agrees.
"I think it's a harbinger that the sale's component's time has really come," he says.
Projects such as the town homes and the developments in Tampa Heights will bring jobs and services to the area. "It also brings the density needed to cascade into surrounding neighborhoods, re-creating a sense of place," Harden says.

Tampa Bay Innovation Center Opens TEC Garage
Tuesday, June 03, 2014
Up to 30 start-up businesses in science and other fields will be nurtured at TEC Garage, a new incubator opening in August on the campus of
St. Petersburg College
The venture is under the tutelage of the Largo-based
Tampa Bay Innovation Center
, an innovation and entrepreneurship center for technology businesses.
TEC Garage, which stands for Technology and Entrepreneurship Center, will occupy about 6,000 square feet on the ground floor of the college's Downtown Center at 244 2nd Ave. N. in St. Petersburg. The new incubator will offer space for new businesses in science, technology, engineering, arts and digital media. Three clients have been signed:
Toonari Media
, which uses social media and online resources to conduct investigations,
, which offers methods to reduce texting and other distractions while driving, and
My OnCall Doc
, which is an on-demand video provider for physician services.
The location is only the beginning of a broader vision for encouraging startups amid an explosion of business and residential growth in downtown St. Petersburg.
"It seems to be ... an entire renaissance, something bringing new growth to St. Petersburg and something very exciting," says Tonya Elmore, president of Tampa Bay Innovation Center.
The anticipation is for 15 to 30 new businesses to settle into the TEC Garage. About 40 to 80 people can work there depending on how the space is designed.
"We want to give our local entrepreneurs every resource and tool they need to thrive, and believe this program will help create and keep jobs right here in our community," Elmore says.
There will be reserved office space for rent and coworking space. And Elmore says TEC Garage will offer something not every incubator provides -- coaching for individual clients.
The incubator will operate at the college for at least three to five years. The long-range goal is to move into a permanent downtown location in a much larger building of about 40,000 square feet. There could be opportunities for the college location to continue as a satellite office.
"This is a natural complement to the college's values of leadership, innovation and partnership," says Bill Law, president of St. Petersburg College.

It Works! Opens New Headquarters In Palmetto
Tuesday, June 03, 2014
It Works!, a major distributor of health and beauty products including The Ultimate Body Applicator, is expanding and relocating its headquarters to Palmetto, Fl.
With more than $450 million in worldwide sales last year,
It Works!
has more than 60,000 independent distributors who are paid commissions on direct sales of more than 30 health and beauty products in 18 countries. Inc. Magazine ranks It Works! one of America's 500 fastest growing companies.
Its best known product is the Body Applicator, a contouring body wrap product that company officials say tightens, tones and firms any area of the body in 45 minutes. The company was founded in 2001 in Michigan by former teacher Mark Pentecost. A decade later, he moved company headquarters to Bradenton. The new location, at 908 Riverside Drive in Palmetto, is just north of downtown Bradenton.
"We have loyal customers who keep coming back," says It Works! spokeswoman Kate Martin.
Company growth in foreign countries also is strong and recently was expanded into Denmark, England, Spain and Germany. Additional countries soon will be added to the list, Martin says.
More than a year ago, the company purchased a 34,000-square-foot building in Palmetto for about $3.1 million, and recently completed an expansion to 50,000 square feet. Lakewood Ranch-based
Stellar Development
and Palmetto-based
collaborated on the project.
Opening day will be in mid-June. Nearly 90 employees work at the new headquarters but by early 2015 company officials anticipate hiring another 50 or so employees.
About 10 positions are open now, says Martin. Most jobs will be with IT, social media, marketing and customer service.
It Works! offers some unique perks for employees including a putting green on the roof, a bumper pool on the top floor and an indoor slide for employees and guests.

CDC Of Tampa Wins Housing Award From Wells Fargo
Tuesday, May 20, 2014
Wells Fargo awarded nearly $240,000 to the nonprofit
Corporation to Develop Communities of Tampa
for the purchase and rehabilitation of homes in East Tampa.
The grant is part of $11.4 million awarded by the bank to 59 nonprofits in 25 communities nationwide for UrbanLIFT, a housing program to stabilize low-income neighborhoods impacted by the housing crisis.
NeighborWorks America
administers the program.
The CDC is one of only three agencies in Florida to receive the grants. The others are Habitat for Humanity of Broward, Inc., and Housing Enterprise of Fort Lauderdale.
"UrbanLIFT funds provided by
Wells Fargo
will afford CDC of Tampa the opportunity to extend our hand to the community," says Ernest Coney Jr., the CDC's CEO.
The funds are a "hand-up'' for families that might not otherwise have the opportunity for homeownership," Coney says.
CDC officials will identify three residences within low-income areas of East Tampa, all clustered within a one-mile radius. Needed repairs will be done and then the homes will be offered for sale. These efforts are part of the agency's on-going Nehemiah Legacy Phase II Community Stabilization program.
The CDC's program targets first-time home buyers and offers down payment assistance to qualified applicants. Though it is not required for UrbanLIFT, the CDC offers financial counseling for home owners to prepare them for the responsibilities that come with mortgages, home insurance and maintenance issues.
"When you look at economic and community development, one of our main pillars is homeownership where there is buy-in of the neighborhood," says Julie Rocco, the CDC's special projects manager. "There is a feeling that this is my neighborhood, I want to clean it up and make it safer."
For more than 25 years the CDC of Tampa has served the East Tampa community through career counseling, business planning, homeownership workshops, job training, job placement and youth programs. The agency, which is located at 1907 E. Hillsborough Ave., also partners with area contractors to build affordable housing, and commercial projects.
In agreement with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Wells Fargo provides funds for community housing programs including NeighborhoodLIFT and CityLIFT. Along with UrbanLIFT, grants of more than $180 million have been awarded since 2012. More than 5,000 homeowners have received down payment assistance and homebuyer education.

AMC West Shore To Sell Beer, Wine, Liquor
Tuesday, May 20, 2014
Adult ticket buyers at
AMC West Shore
will soon be able to settle into a darkened theater fortified with more than popcorn, candy, nachos or pizza. If they choose, their favorite alcoholic beverage can slip into the cup holder beside them instead of a soda.
Tampa City Council gave its approval for AMC theater exhibitors to add a MacGuffin -- a bar that sells beer, wine and liquor. MacGuffin is a term coined by director Alfred Hitchcock in 1939 to describe any plot device or gimmick that moves the story along.
Selling alcohol gives movie exhibitors, such as
, a competitive edge in marketing to an adult audience. And in the Westshore Business District, new apartments, shops and restaurants are creating marketing opportunities for WestShore Plaza and its tenants, including AMC West Shore.
"One of the most exciting things taking place right now in the Westshore district is seeing the component of residential finally being developed," says Jay Botsch,
WestShore Plaza
's general manager. "The economy has not been friendly to offices, hotels and residential but it is really taking off."
People are looking for restaurants, shopping and a theater that are right at their front door step, Botsch says. "The millennial generation is who is shopping and going to the AMC theater and it is a very important component as we evolve the shopping center."
AMC West Shore, with 20 screens, is the only second floor tenant at WestShore Plaza. The wet zone will cover the theater's approximately 77,000 square feet of interior space.
In a savvy technology driven society, AMC and other exhibitors are changing to keep up with an expanding entertainment menu that includes BlueRay, tablets, laptops, smartphones, HDTV and home projection systems large enough to mimic the real theater deal.
Most recently, AMC spent about $85,000 for digital 3D capabilities at AMC West Shore.
"The industry has continued to change and evolve over the last 20 years. For us to remain relevant we have to continue to re-invest in our business," says George Patterson, AMC's senior VP for its food and beverage division.
AMC is the second largest movie exhibitor in the country with about 345 theaters and nearly 5,000 screens.
Research shows that a high percentage of ticket buyers, age 21 and over, want the option of buying alcohol. "It's not a huge part of our business," says Patterson. "But it is an important part of the re-birth of our business."
The MacGuffins are staffed only by bartenders age 21 and older and everyone regardless of age is carded. AMC officials say the bars are attractive additions not simply for the movie crowd but also for opera showings, corporate meetings and other events.
Locally AMC theaters that already serve alcohol include Veterans 24 in Town 'N Country, Woodlands Square in Oldsmar, and The Regency 20 in Brandon. Other competitors that sell alcohol include Tampa Theatre, CineBistros and the IMAX at MOSI (Museum of Science and Industry).
More amenities are on the way as AMC retro-fits its theaters nationwide with self-serve Coca-Cola vending machines and offers reserved seating. Some AMC theaters offer dine-in service, similar to the concept at Cine Bistro in Hyde Park. In 2014 the theater chain expects to spend more than $200 million on upgrades.

Construction Progresses On Pinellas Side Of Courtney Campbell Trail
Monday, May 19, 2014
The Courtney Campbell Causeway is known more for the vehicular traffic that zooms overland between Tampa and Clearwater's beaches. But pedestrians and bicylists can expect in the near future to make that entire trek on a parallel
Courtney Campbell Trail
, and along the way enjoy breathtaking views of Old Tampa Bay.
The trail on the Hillsborough County side of the bay is complete along with Tampa's new Cypress Point Park playground and a 45-foot high bridge at the county line between Pinellas and Hillsborough counties. The next phase involves the trail's tie-in to Pinellas and Clearwater.
Completion of the project by
Pepper Contracting
is more than a year away, according to Florida Department of Transportation officials. Trail and road widening are under way. In addition the causeway will be repaved and a small pedestrian bridge built. Test piles for the bridge are installed.
When finished, the trail will allow pedestrian and bicycle access from Veteran's Expressway in Tampa to Bayshore Boulevard on the eastern edge of Clearwater. Bayshore leads to Safety Harbor and more trails. It also will connect with additional recreational trails on both sides of the Bay.
The approximately 9.5 mile causeway trail is a project championed by the
Westshore Alliance,
which last year unveiled a Public Realm Master Plan to make the Westshore neighborhoods of Tampa more pedestrian and bicycle friendly. Trails, wider sidewalks and narrower traffic lanes are among the recommendations.
"We're excited about the trail. It will be one of the premier trails in the entire United States," says Ron Rotella, executive director of the Westshore Alliance, which represents the interests of the Westshore Business District.
The district is Florida's largest office community with more than 4,000 businesses and 93,000 employees.
The Westshore area is booming with new shops, restaurants and offices. But residents of established neighborhoods, such as Carver City and Lincoln Gardens, soon will have new neighbors moving into more than 1,700 apartments either under construction or ready for leasing. "We're turning into a neighborhood as well," Rotella says.
Many of the new apartments front Boy Scout Boulevard which is slated for resurfacing later this year. Plans also are to widen sidewalks and enhance existing cross walks.
The alliance is contributing about $113,000 to help with pedestrian improvements and make it easier to walk to International Plaza as well as shops and restaurants on Westshore Boulevard. In the 2014-2015 Hillsborough County budget, Rotella anticipates about $1.3 million for a Westshore Boulevard redesign.
And he also is looking ahead to another trail segment from Dale Mabry Highway at Interstate 275 to Hesperides Street with a tie-in to Cypress Point Park and then onto Clearwater via the Courtney Campbell Trail.
"Being able to access a beautiful waterway, that is a great advantage for the business district," Rotella says.

New Contemporary Art Studio Moves Into South Tampa
Tuesday, May 13, 2014
The boutiques, art galleries and restaurants along MacDill Avenue, just north of Bay to Bay Boulevard, are bringing a new vibe to to one of South Tampa's main thoroughfares.
On May 31 a new contemporary art gallery --
(Contemporary Art Space and Studio) -- will be the latest arrival on the neighborhood scene, starting off with exhibits by Los Angeles artist
Michael Turchin
and Tampa artist
Chris Valle
Husband and wife duo, Cassie and Jake Greatens, believe Tampa is on the verge of a "big city" re-invention of itself. And South MacDill is part of that transformation. It's why they chose this location, at 2722 S. MacDill, to open their first art gallery.
They see the potential for MacDill to become to South Tampa what Central Avenue is to downtown St. Petersburg, a place where the funky and creative get together in a walkable community with art crawls and food tours.
"We're headed in the right direction," says Cassie Greatens. "There is a population here that wants that. When you have that kind of energy, anything can happen."
Long-time MacDill anchors are Beef O' Brady's and the Salvation Army discount store. But upscale interior designers, a yoga studio, restaurants and boutiques are changing the landscape.
Their front door opens into a spacious, all white gallery with a smaller, intimate space in the rear of the building. It was formerly work space for Michael Murphy Gallery, located across the avenue.
"We want to be able to feature installation art. Keep it clean and keep it simple," says owner Jake Greatens.
Turchin and Valle's works will be on display from May 31 through July 3. Turchin is known for eye-popping color and patterns in his graffiti inspired art. His art has been commissioned by celebrities such as Barbra Streisand, Lance Bass and Lisa Vanderpump.
Valle is a painting instructor at
University of Tampa
who has exhibited nationally and internationally in museums and galleries. His art explores the influences of entertainment on sexual roles, norms and stereotypes.
Exhibits will change every two to three months. The Greatens are looking for artists for the next exhibit.
The art at CASS is about what it means to an individual not whether it matches the home decor.
"It's what's amazing and speaks to you," says Cassie Greatens. "We want the gallery to have movement, not just sit here and have art on the wall."
The couple are from Lakeland, Fl., and graduated from the University of Tampa. Jake Greatens creates mixed, media paintings and anticipates an exhibit of his work in about eight months.
In the future, the couple hope to offer an internship. They plan to invite emerging and established artists to offer workshops and lectures.
"We're trying to be more interactive," says Jake Greatens.

HCC's SouthShore Campus Adds Science And Technology Building
Tuesday, May 13, 2014
Enrollment at
Hillsborough Community College SouthShore Campus
has far exceeded expectations since opening day in 2008 in Ruskin.
More than 6,500 students attend classes on a campus built on a 100-year-old tomato field donated by the Dickman family. That is a 7 percent increase over the previous year.
More than a year and a half ago, 15 portable classrooms were set up to handle the overflow. That is about to change. School officials are breaking ground at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday on a two-story, 36,424-square-foot Science and Technology Building at 551 24th St. in Ruskin.
"It has been truly amazing," says HCC SouthShore's President Allen Witt. "The new building will allow for the space to move out of portables and continue growth."
The college is looking to hire for part-time and advisory positions. Interviews are planned to hire four faculty members. "We're in a hiring mode,'' Witt says.
Construction is scheduled for completion in May 2015. The new science and technology center will have nine laboratories, five prep labs, two computer classrooms, six traditional classrooms, four offices and a dean's suite.
Student enrollment, at least for now, is not expected to slow. Currently, SouthShore's enrollment is about 10 percent of approximately 46,000 students who attend HCC's five campuses and three centers throughout the county.
Witt can look out of his office window to understand the reason.
"I can see the top of Amazon.com's (building) just above the trees," he says. Also nearby new houses are under construction.
Amazon is expected to hire about 1,000 people in the next few months. The rising rooftops also will bring more families to the southeastern end of the county. "Things are happening here so very fast," Witt says. "We're all going to be catching up with infrastructure related to the new needs."
SouthShore plans to hold onto to all but about one-third of its portables as back-up plan if they are still needed in future years.
But the opening of the science and technology building means SouthShore is taking the next step in its academic growth plan.
"We pride ourselves as a STEM campus serving our local community with outstanding educational resources," Witt says. "This new science building will help us serve our students well into the future with the best technology and classroom space."
Existing buildings at SouthShore are LEED-certified as eco-friendly and green. This new building also will meet the national certification standards established by the U.S. Green Building Council.
Construction on the approximately $9.8 million project includes architects

AT&T's Store Of The Future Opens In Tampa
Tuesday, May 13, 2014
Store of the Future
is open and showing off the newest technology in a sleek, cool store off Westshore Boulevard in the shopping center anchored by The Container Store..
The shop is the fourth of its kind in Florida and is modeled after a Chicago flagship store large enough to fit a car inside. Tampa's shop isn't nearly as large but customers can enjoy taking the latest technology for a spin in the care of friendly sales clerks who chat with you at white "learning" tables designed to mimic real life situations.
It is designed to encourage interaction and make the shopping experience fun and engaging whether you're an individual or bring your entire family.
Step over to the guitar display and try out headsets, speakers and the latest sound and streaming technology. Head to another table and find out how your phone can become a movie projector.
Or walk over to the white "kitchen island" and learn how a smartphone bolts a dead-lock at your house or sets the temperature controls. Have a pet to keep an eye on? There's a video gadget for that.
Want to monitor a fleet of trucks for your business including their top speeds? There's a device for that too.
The forward-looking store caters to the mobile lifestyle.
"We're trying to show the different applications available for customers," says Susan Boothe, merchandising manager for AT&T's Florida operations. But the story is deliberately "nice and comfortable and takes the intimidation factor out of it."
The store is at 1812 N. Westshore Blvd., in the new shopping center anchored by retail and restaurants such as
The Container Store
, Sleeping Mattress, Pei Wei Asian Dining and Olive Garden Restaurant.
The store's eco-friendly design is by architects at
, a global company whose clients include Starbucks, Williams-Sonoma and Whole Foods.

Yogurtland Opens First Tampa Location In Citrus Park
Tuesday, May 13, 2014
Tampa residents and visitors now have a new option for their favorite frozen treat.
touts its high quality yogurt with real ingredients in a clean environment. Ingredients are often sourced from their original location, such as Madagascar vanilla beans from Madagascar and Belgian chocolate from Belgium, in non-traditional flavor combinations such as black current cherry tart or sticky toffee pudding.
The first franchise in Tampa opened in Citrus Park this spring. The franchise owner, Jack Suleiman, is a second generation restaurant owner with a family history of franchises. Having opened a Taco Bell in 2008 and a Johnny Rockets in 2010 in Citrus Park, Suleiman had a familiarity with the area and knew the market well. The specific location next to Chipotle was selected to give people a dessert option since the restaurant doesn't currently offer any. Suleiman also likes the Carrollwood and Citrus Park communities.
"People get involved. The community actually works together, unlike in some bigger cities," says Suleiman.
Growing up in the restaurant business taught Suleiman the value of hard work and ethics at an early age. He and his brother washed potatoes at his father's restaurant at the ages of 15 and 16, often working after school and on holidays. Eventually, he ended up as a manager and then opened up his own restaurants.
Suleiman's dream was always to open a yogurt shop. He chose the Yogurtland franchise because of its concept of real ingredients, strong growth rate and overall atmosphere.
"I was very impressed with the company," says Suleiman. "They do everything they can to make sure that we're serving the best quality."
Suleiman financed the franchise through family funds.
If all goes well with the first location, he plans to open more in the Tampa Bay region within six months. The company will be hiring additional team members over the summer.

Two Fold Bicycle Shop Opens In St. Petersburg
Tuesday, May 06, 2014
A new bicycle shop in St. Petersburg caters to enthusiasts who want the zip and portability of bicycles that can be folded to the size of carry-on luggage. Or tucked into a back pack.
On May 10 Michael Davis will hold a grand opening for
Two Fold Bicycle Shop
at 657 N. Central Ave. The shop, which quietly opened at the beginning of the month, deals exclusively in folding bicycles made by major brand names
. Shortly Davis will add bicycles from
Bike Friday
, an Oregon company that custom-makes folding bicycles.
"They are fun to ride," says Davis, who also designs and builds wheel frames. "People who are into them really get into them. You can see them out there. It is a trend that is picking up now."
Their popularity makes sense to a lot of people who are embracing the new urban lifestyle. And, while his shop is in St. Petersburg, his first two sales were to residents of downtown Tampa's growing high-rise community.
The folding bicycles have smaller wheels, quick acceleration and ease of steering. Hinges allow for the bicycles to be folded up for easy storage at work or at home. And for multi-modal commuters they are easily carried on and off buses.
Prices range from about $400 for a one-gear folding bicycle to more sophisticated models that can cost $3,500 or more.
Davis is an avid bicyclist himself. He formerly owned 66 Fixed Gear and Singlespeed, a St. Petersburg shop that did repairs and sold custom-made bicycles. But it was a trip last year to the Interbike International Bicycle Expo in Las Vegas that spurred Davis to focus his newest business on the expo's break-out star.
"Everybody was talking about folding bicycles," he says.
The bicycles originally were invented for use by military forces in war times in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Until recently they often were novelty items tucked away in a shop corner.
That is changing along with the urban landscape.
Condominiums and apartments are going up in downtown St. Petersburg and Tampa. The Central Avenue district in St. Petersburg is stirring to life with new boutique shops, art galleries, restaurants, offices and neighborhood bars. College students and young professionals are embracing the urban experience.
Tampa has at least five residential towers slated for construction in the next few years in downtown and Channel District.
The folding bicycles are the right fit, Davis says, for people who have to go up and down elevators, share space with roommates or just want a healthier living environment with fewer automobile trips.
"Once you get folding bicycles in front of people, they practically sell themselves," says Davis.

HomeServe acquired the property repair company Reparalia in 2007 to complement HomeServe Iberica. Go MAD Thinking has been working with Reparalia since April 2011.
Here is what Chief Executive of Reparalia, H Stephen Phillips has to say about the solutions provided by Go MAD Thinking and the differences made.
"I attended a Strategic Thinking seminar delivered by Go MAD Thinking because I was looking for a way to supercharge our ability to open our thinking and execute strategic initiatives more effectively.
After attending myself, I thought it important that the Senior Management Team be aligned in our thinking. We were looking for a way to exceed our growth expectations, reduce risk and motivate the Organisation. Therefore we had Go MAD Thinking come out to Spain and spend several days working with our senior team. That meant the entire team who were leading growth and change in the Organisation were aligned.
Following this programme the most noticeable difference is how we approach obstacles and opportunities. There is no guess work anymore about where to start, no more anxiousness about potential possibilities we haven't considered, how to achieve our goals or how to align ourselves towards the goal. We are now faster to market and frequently exceed our own goals and expectations.
Of the five layers in our organization, Go M.A.D.® programmes have now been successfully rolled out to four of them. All of them like the Framework and have used it from day one to set new goals for themselves and their teams. It is not uncommon to pass a conference room and see people using the Framework to tackle an issue or opportunity and even their presentations are clearer. Clarity and buy-in is the key. When an organisation at all layers can clearly understand how we are going to achieve something, what their role is and what is in it for them, they are much more motivated and the results come faster; sometimes even bigger than expected.
The Go MAD team were quick to understand our organization and help everyone to understand how to use the Go M.A.D.® tools in their day to day. They are very effective and even crossed cultural and linguistic boundaries. They are a great group of people who don't abandon you after the program is over; they continually check in and provide support."

For centuries, bagpipes have been a part of parades, ceremonies and celebrations around the world. As more and more people in the United States are getting in touch with their Celtic roots, the Great Highland Bagpipe is becoming increasingly more recognized, and popular.
Elegant and stately for weddings, funerals, church services, or any special occasion, the sound of the pipes can touch the soul or stir the blood as few other instruments can.
Since 1996 I have piped for a myriad of functions and occasions throughout Mississippi, including weddings, funerals, military ceremonies, retirements, church services, parades, community memorials and festivals, birthdays, anniversaries, St. Patrick's Day and Christmas gatherings. I am currently the Pipe Sergeant of Mississippi's only chartered Pipe Band, the Father of Waters Pipes & Drums.
Serving a 100-mile radius from Meridian, including West Alabama, Dekalb, Philadelphia, Quitman and Butler (to name a few), please contact me for suggestions on how a Piper can fit into the flow and timing of your event.

It's the time of year when many of our winter residents are preparing to depart for their residences to the north. As always, we're sorry to see them go but know we will be welcoming them back in just a few months. In the meantime, it's important for these owners to be sure their Key West investment is well cared for during their absence. Prior to leaving, owners should check with their insurance agent to be sure policies are current and in place in the unlikely case of a weather event or other happenings pertaining to their home. It is also important to have a dependable and insured cadre of service personnel to maintain the property during their absence.
At Doug Mayberry Property Management we offer a full array of services including weekly or monthly property inspections, storm preparation and clean up, mail and newspaper pickup, landscaping and pool maintenance and light cleaning just to keep the property in tip top condition for the eventual owners' return in the Fall. Our vendors are all licensed and insured for the owners' protection and peace of mind. Our administrative fee for these services is very modest for basic services. If the owner wishes to have a major project completed during the summer months, we can coordinate contractors, again, for a very modest fee. Some owners also wish to rent their home during their absence and we can assist with that, too.
To find out more about our summer services, please contact Doug Mayberry Property Management at firstname.lastname@example.com or give us a call at 305-292-6157. We are ready to help our winter owners protect their investment and to make their return to Key West next season all the more pleasant

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) - A former Mount Pleasant bank teller has pleaded guilty to taking more than $700,000 from the bank over a 15-year period.
Fifty-nine-year-old Michele Gentry pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Charleston on Monday.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Rhett DeHart says Gentry's job at a Bank of America branch in Mount Pleasant included transferring cash from the vault to the teller's drawers.
DeHart says Gentry took $500 to $2,000 at a time from 1996 to 2011.
He says Gentry used fake bank documents and ledger entries to cover the thefts.
DeHart says the theft was discovered by the manager on a day when Gentry was out sick.
U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel has not yet scheduled a sentencing. She faces up to 33 years in prison and $1 million in fines.

Easy Way to Delete Podcasts from iPhone and iTouch
by Lisa Stewart: Increase Traffic By Blogging
that I love and usually use this for most of my MP3 playback. Another plus to using the Creative Zen is battery life is 20+ hours AND GET *MAYBE* 8 hours with my iPhone (3G).
I totally love my iPhone for pretty much everything else and would never part with it. I absolutely hates iTunes however. One feature that I do like about iPhone is the ability to download podcasts over-wi-fi. I can download my favourite podcasts directly to the phone without having to deal with iStore or iTunes basically with just one click.
I will say it it again:
I HATE iTunes!
Remove Podcasts From iPhone and iTouch
I have 44 episodes of my favourite podcasts on my iPhone and I can not get them off. Till now. Nothing I do in iTunes will remove them. I have spent about 3 hours searching for a fix with no luck. Today I accidentally found an EASY quick way o get rid of my podcasts and best of all its iTunes free.
It is so easy.
When in Podcast mode on iPhone/iTouch and you have list if various podcasts, go to the list of single type of podcast. The, swipe RIGHT to LEFT with finger across the podcast you want to delete and voila!!! A red delete button will appear and you can just delete.
Haven't checked yet but may also work for music.
If there is someway to get rid of podcasts in iTunes, I still would like to know!

I am kind of torn on the whole iTunes thing. On the one hand, it is, at least in regards to the PC, very bloated. I also think the way that Apple expects people to interact with their devices, like iPods and iPhones, is much too restrictive and have issue with their stance on licensing and digital rights management, although the latter is getting better.
With that said, I think that they have innovated the concept of the music store. It is possible to find most any song imaginable and I think $1 is probably a fair price.
iTunes also provides a platform where artists can directly sell their songs, bypassing the record labels, although you do have to give Apple a cut. This is the major selling point for me, because I think the ability of a band to market and sell their music in this manner is a big step in the right direction.
I don't have an iPhone but I do have an iPod. To delete a podcast from my iPod using iTunes what I do is:
1) Delete the podcast from the iTunes on my computer.
2) After the deletion I plug in my iPod to sync and iTunes automatically syncs my iPod to have exactly what I have in my iTunes (which now does not have the podcast).
Hope this helps!
Try this. Go into Itunes, synch up and find the podcast – under the advanced tab you can convert it to an acc file – you should be able to delete it then… I think.
Good luck
Thank you! Thank you! I've had some phantom podcasts that I've been trying to remove from my iPhone for months now and was utterly unable to. I'm very grateful to you for pointing out this easy fix.
I've been trying to figure out how to delete podcasts from my itouch for a while. Thanks for the article.
THANKS! I have spent hours trying to figure out how to delete podcasts. I even called Apple tech and they didn't know! Obviously this was built into the system so why can't you find it anywhere in the manuals?
This befuddled me for a while. Everyone keeps saying just delete it. Well, you can't. On some computers you can just delete. On others, you cannot. Here's what I finally did and it worked.
Click and drag the file into your trash can on the desktop.
Let me know if that works.
i don't like this 3g. i can't get a wi fi network and i can't delete podcasts from it and i can't even access my podcasts on it.
Omg thanks so much what you posted worked and am elated
how can i set the iphone up to delete those podcasts that have been listened to, and yet keep those that i have not?
Thanks for the post!!!! You saved my iphone memory.
I agree with you.. ITunes is a pain in the ass.
Iphone is only cool on hardware, but I hate it on the rest…. There are so many things you can't do and so dificult to understand some basic functions.
I think that Steve is becoming like somekind of a "Hitler" He probably beleives he is some kind of God and wants averybody do the things the way he wants to.
I prefer Android
Thank you SO MUCH. Ive been trying to figure this out for like an hour now.
Thanks Works Great
AWESOOOMMMEE! Man, the swipe delete solution to rid iphone of podcasts is so easy – I had NO idea! Thanks for the tip!
Oh man, thanks! How would anybody figure this out by themselves? APPLE? DO YOU READ THIS? NOBODY UNDERSTANDS YOUR STUPID UI! FIX IT!
Yes, iTunes is a pain in the behind IMO. To delete podcasts straight form your iPhone: Go to podcasts. Select the one you want to delete. Then right-slide. A delete box will apear to the right of the podcast tittle. Then just click delete. Took me for ever to figure this one out. Jim
Thanks! I was also scratching my head about how to delete those podcasts I had downloaded directly from Internet to phone. As far as iTunes on my Mac is concerned, they didn't even exist on my phone! Hadn't thought about swiping across them, but that gave me a delete button. Thanks again!
Swiping a podcast to delete it. BRILLIANT!
Why didn't I think of that. I had downloaded some using "Get More Episodes.." from my iPhone and couldn't get iTunes to delete them. Then I found this. Can't believe I didn't try it on my own.
thank you.
Deleting phantom podcasts works.
Thank you! This was just the solution I was looking for. P.S. I don't hate iTunes but the undeletable podcasts were bugging me!
I spent hours trying to figure this out on my own and failed miserably. Thanks for the post!
Thank you so much! You've saved my day
Phew!! Thank you so much for this advise. Have read some other ways to do it but they all sounded way too difficult. This is so easy.
Thank you! I feel so much better now having wiped all those old podcasts off my phone.
Wow! Thank you for the wonderful tip.
I love my I pod, but just hate the way you have to manage everything through Itunes. This will really help when syncing goes bad…..it's so easy.
