Scooters Malt Shoppe & Travelling TreatsRead MoreCuisine Type: '50s malt shop and diner food Established: 1990 Handicap Accessible: Yes Number of Tables: 25–50 Parking: Free street parking Most Popular Offering: Malts and Elvis burgers Kid-friendly: Yes Alcohol: None Delivery/Takeout Available: Takeout only Outdoor Seating: Yes Q&A with Cindy Bristol, Owner What made you want to work with food? When did you first develop that passion? I started cooking in sixth grade when my mother went back to work and I took over making the family meals. I also loved making desserts. I attended college and received a teaching degree to share my passion for cooking with high school students. As a mother with very young children, I started Scooters to help other mothers by delivering birthday treats to school and planning and executing children's parties, as well as providing a place for families to come and enjoy old-fashioned treats and service. Is there anything else you want to add that we didn't cover? The ice cream sundaes are named after songs which can be played with 45s in the jukebox. Décor can say a lot about the type of food a restaurant serves. How does your décor inform or reflect your culinary practice? Scooters is housed in a converted hardware building [that is] more than 100 years old [and has] lots of nostalgic antiques to bring back memories of times past. A soda-fountain area has been added with old-fashioned soda-fountain glassware on the shelves that serve the ice cream treats. There is an attached Mickey-inspired party room. In your own words, how would you describe your menu? The menu focuses on bringing back all of those '50s memories. It includes old-fashioned ice cream sodas, malts with the tin on the side, brown cows, and Boston coolers featuring Ashby's Sterling Ice Cream. Don't forget those hard-to-find egg creams and phosphates, and satisfy those hunger pangs with an Elvis burger or a Presley's Passion with french fries. Or, perhaps a pizza would hit the spot.8399 South 36th StreetScotts, MI US

Swimming pool by planet p
Disclaimer I don't own the Pretender or any of its characters.
Author's Notes I don't know why I wrote this, I was feeling sick all day. Present tense, third person. Miss Parker's POV. Painful and totally awful.
The water is dark. But it is a swimming pool. Why is the water so dark? The water is very dark. When she looks into the pool it goes on and on forever. The further she looks into the swimming pool the darker the water becomes. Her gaze does not reach the bottom and see the light reflected back up toward her, making her face bright with the light playing on her cheeks, her nose, her brow.
The water is so dark it is black. She thinks that she would see an image of herself staring back up at her from inside the black water, but she does not see herself. All she sees is the darkness of the water.
Something slaps her leg. It is wet and slimy on her skin. It drags across her leg and slithers over her skin and tries loosely to wrap itself around her leg.
She tears her eyes from the black water and jerks back from the edge of the swimming pool in something between a stumble and a step.
The thing grabs her foot, tries to drag her down, tries to pull her down to it, into its ready arms, but when she looks there is nothing.
There is nothing on her leg, nothing on her foot or her shoe (she is wearing high heels); there is nothing on the concrete she is standing on top of with her black high heels. She peers down at the concrete around her high heels and makes her eyes small by squeezing her eyelids closed a bit, but there is not even any water, like a snail's trail, like the slimy thing that had grabbed her leg.
She lets her eyes open again, so that she can see normally, without the little black patches in the corner of her vision which was reduced and much smaller in scope before, or spots in her eyes. Now she can see properly again, and she sees that there is nothing on her leg, nothing on the concrete.
Her eyes move to the swimming pool, caterpillar-like, or like a worm, inch by inch, and she sees that the water is bright and clear and she can see all the way to the bottom of the swimming pool, can see the light that plays like a flock of mermaids across the tiles and across the surface of the water and, although she cannot see it, across her own face making it glow, making her cheeks, her nose, her brow glow.
She lifts her eyes from the water. The brightness is making her eyes sting and water and spots play in front of her eyes again.
She lifts her eyes and sees Sydney, his back to her, reading a notice on a wall.
Broots is staring into the small screen of his cell phone, squinting to see something, or as though he thinks this will improve the reception. It stains a small patch of his face on his right cheek blue, even his normally brown eye shines strangely blue, a strange glancing sheen of blue across the usual brown like oil across water, the other eye still brown.
She shifts her gaze to see Sam standing guard at the entrance. He looks bored, tired, but he still looks good in that suit, she thinks.
She is tired too, and her leg still tingles from where nothing touched it, from where she imagined that something had touched it.
And there is Lyle, staring at the water but not seeing it, instead seeing something else, thinking about something else.
She has looked away from Sam and is watching her brother. He doesn't blink, but then he looks up and sees her watching him.
The water is bright now, but his eyes have gone dark, like the water before. He turns away from her and makes his way toward Broots who is frowning heavily.
The patch of blue shifts across his face shifts and disappears as he lowers the cell phone from his face and watches Lyle approach.
"Try this," Lyle says, and passes him his cell phone.
She doesn't see Broots' expression or what happens next because Sydney is walking toward her, making his way around the bright pool with its bright water, and she is watching him getting closer and closer, and trying not to think about Sam in his dark suit which she can't remember if it is black or navy or dark grey. Sydney's suit is black. It makes her think of coffee.
It is the middle of the night and she is standing next to a swimming pool and she is tired and she wants a coffee and to go to sleep.
Except Jarod had decided that cleaning swimming pools was a very exciting and heroic thing to do, and that meant that no coffee was needed, at least not for her.
She forgets about Jarod, depriving her of much needed sleep – she had started to hallucinate that something was touching her when clearly nothing was – and waits for Sydney to speak.
And then they are no longer at the swimming pool, and she is drinking hot coffee, and she can see in the glass of the roadhouse window, her eyes are tired, and Sam is sitting next to her and his suit is navy.

Singer, Kicked Out By Parents for Being Gay, Gets Ovation on "America's Got Talent"
June 12, 2013 by HRC staff
Post submitted by David McCabe, HRC Digital Media Intern
Jonathan Allen, a 20-year-old from Tennessee, moved a live audience and the viewing public on the Tuesday night broadcast of America's Got Talent with his vocal ability and his story of facing repercussions from his parents for being gay.
According to Allen, his parents kicked him out of their house on his 18th birthday and he hasn't spoken to them in over two years.
Allen performed "Time to Say Goodbye," on the show. All four judges sent him on to the next round.
He said that his passion for singing was a refuge after his parents kicked him out. "Music is what really helped me through the hard time," Allen told the show.
Allen is not alone among LGBT young people. In HRC's groundbreaking survey Growing Up LGBT in America, 26 percent of LGBT youth said that non-accepting families were their greatest concern. Fifteen percent said that their family and parental situation is the one thing they would most like to change.
Over three quarters of LGBT youth, however, said that they believed things would get better, and HRC is committed to making sure that the future is bright for all LGBT young people, no matter what their aspirations in life.

Cardinal Ratzinger on Relativism, and Communion for the Remarried (Part 2)
Part 2 of Interview With the Prefect of Doctrinal Congregation
VATICAN CITY, FEB. 23, 2004 (Zenit) - The greatest challenge facing the Church is the difficulty to believe in a social environment riddled with relativism, says Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger.
In Part 2 of this interview (Part 1 appeared Monday) the prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith addresses topics such as the concept of the "People of God," "creative" liturgical celebrations, and the possibility of Communion for the divorced-and-remarried.
The interview first appeared in the Italian weekly Famiglia Cristiana and touches on some of the issues of Cardinal Ratzinger's new book "Communion in the Church" ("La Comunione nella Chiesa"), published in Italy by St. Paul's.
Q: Your book leads me to think that you do not have a particular preference to apply the concept of People of God to the Church.
Cardinal Ratzinger: It's not true. The concept of People of God is a biblical one. Rather, I do not like the arbitrary use of this concept, which, on the contrary, has quite a clear definition in sacred Scripture.
In the Old Testament, Israel is the People of God, above all because it accepts the call and election of God, because it enters in the will of God. It is not a static but a dynamic concept: It is the People of God as the Jewish people, but its being the People of God must always be renewed in the dynamism of its relation with him. This is fundamental in the Old Testament.
Q: And, in the New Testament?
Cardinal Ratzinger: In almost all the passages of the New Testament, this concept indicates Israel and, only in two or three texts, the Church. In this way, it is understood that the Church enters in the election of Israel; it participates in this being People of God.
But here also, it is not about an acquired property: The Church becomes the People of God in following the line of this election. However, to the concept of the Old Testament is added a new way of integrating in the will of God: communion with Christ.
There is a theological principle and then a Christological concretization, but above all there is a vital dynamism that disallows becoming proud: "We are the People of God." We must always be converted into the People and only in that movement is the concept valid. If, on the contrary, we consider it as a profane model, non-biblical, the vision of the Church would be seriously compromised.
Q: You are severe in the book with any one who uses the liturgy only in a communicative way, as a means of education of the faithful. Why?
Cardinal Ratzinger: I want to specify that the liturgy is communicative and pastoral.
I am opposed to those who think that it is only communicative when it is transformed into a spectacle, into a sort of "show," reducing to very little that great work of art that the liturgy is, when it is well celebrated, with interior participation.
In the last 20 years, Sunday Mass attendance in Germany has decreased by 70%. The faithful do not feel involved in "creative" celebrations that say nothing to them. Too often the liturgy is treated as something that one can dispose of according to one's whim, as if it were our exclusive property. But in this way we end up by corrupting it.
Q: Is not the proposal of a Eucharist fast [not to go to Communion], to which you seem to allude, contrary to the exhortations of many Pontiffs, beginning with Pius X?
Cardinal Ratzinger: No. I already made this proposal 15 or 20 years ago, the first time, in the context of the celebration of Good Friday, a day of fasting.
We find the roots of this fasting in the Gospel of Mark: "The days will come, when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast." And as early as the first century the Good Friday fast arose, expression of our "compassion" with Christ, who died on the cross for us.
The second time I spoke about this was when addressing the argument of divorced persons who have remarried, as today they are practically the only ones who cannot have access to Communion.
Each one of us should meditate on whether or not he should be associated, at least on some occasions, to this situation of exclusion. In this way, we offer them a sign of solidarity, and we will have one more opportunity to go deeper in our spiritual life.
I see that many times in funerals, weddings and many other circumstances, people go to Communion as if it were simply a part of the rite: It is a supper and one must eat. But in this way, one ceases to live the spiritual profundity of this event, which is always a great challenge for each one of us.
I am certainly in agreement with the great popes when they say that we have need of Eucharistic ...

I went into this movie tonight not expecting much based on the HORRIBLE reviews given to this movie on IMDb and critics reviews in today's paper. I was pleasantly surprised to find this to be another sweet movie about two male buddies that are learning to grow up.
Owen Wilson was adorable and his character was not a loser. Dupree (I won't give away his real name because it surprises you when it comes up in the movie...) gives sage advice throughout the movie. In one scene is he standing in for Matt Dillon's character at a career day, in Molly's (Kate Hudson) 3-4? grade classroom. He tells the kids that some of them will go on to traditional or socially acceptable success, while some of them (pods, he calls them!) will "float" for a while, while they wait for the calling from the "mother ship" for their destined path in life. He says "the pods that needed to hear this, did," and I laughed my butt off. His "floating pod" theory was hysterical and very accurate.
It sounds ridiculous, but it isn't. Dupree's character is consistent throughout as a lovable guy looking for his path. He's a smart, charismatic guy that makes lots of mistakes along the way. Of course the previews showed all the stupid humor (bathroom jokes, jacking off, etc) but it doesn't play as crazily over the top in the movie as it is edited for in previews.
I think the movie was as fun as it was because of the great casting. No one else could have been Michael Douglas' character (besides perhaps James Caan but he might have been too scary) and NO ONE could have done Dupree like Owen Wilson, because Dupree IS Owen Wilson.
If you're like me and you like Owen Wilson movies, you'll really enjoy this movie.
PS: There is a (hush hush) cameo in this movie when you least expect it and you'll laugh.

Movie Reviews
Dupree was lovable
I went into this movie tonight not expecting much based on the HORRIBLE reviews given to this movie on IMDb and critics reviews in today's paper. I was pleasantly surprised to find this to be another sweet movie about two male buddies that are learning to grow up.
The critics are wrong, dead wrong
Last night a friend coaxed me into seeing "You, Me and Dupree." Even though I have liked all four of its principal actors for years, I hadn't planned on seeing it last night or possibly ever. The reviews have been uniformly terrible, so I was expecting the worst. I sat in a movie theater that was perhaps one-third full, and I was waiting for the boredom to set in, which the critics said was comingin spades.
Yes, Owen Wilson has bleached-blond locks, again, but that is probably the only accurate comment in any of the reviews that I saw, and I must have read at least ten of them, from various parts of the country. He was very good, as he was in the "Wedding Crashers." Kate Hudson was perky as always, and did a splendid job; and anyone who has loved her mother over the years will find Goldie's "clone" just as lovely as ever.
Matt Dillon did a terrific job, and was totally believable comically; and Michael Douglas was very good too, playing his character with aplomb. In short, it was a very funny movie, and quite refreshing given the alternatives; namely, movies that are loaded to the gills with special effects, which jar one's cranium to the uttermost.
It seems like the critics were in lock step in panning this film, which may be driving away audiences unfairly. Indeed, this may be a perfect example of the critics being wrong, dead wrong. Go see it in a theater, or buy a DVD when it comes out, and my guess is that you will not be disappointed one iotaand may actually love it. All four principal actors are perfectly balanced, and they are strong enough to be wonderful foils to one another.
Tedious and Unfunny
The premise of You, Me and Dupree is that Carl Peterson (Matt Dillon) marries his boss's daughter, Molly (Kate Hudson), and then his best man, Dupree (Owen Wilson) stays with them after losing his job and all his earthly possessions.
You, Me and Dupree is bad. First and foremost, it's tedious. It has no real direction. Things happen, and a few minutes later, it doesn't matter that they've happened. You sit there and watch 108 minutes of meaningless, witless anecdotes that involve the same people, but have no real bearing on their lives.
As far as the characters go, they really aren't characters, and they really don't go anywhere. We never learn how Carl and Molly met, or why they love one another other than that they have sex a lot. Carl says stuff like, "Molly is the best thing that's ever happened to me," but we see no proof of it. Dupree is a little eccentric, but it's all been done before. I don't know anyone in real life who is as boring as the rest of the characters with the exception of Carl's father-in-law, Mr. Thompson (Michael Douglas). But neither Dupree nor Thompson perform with enough absurdity to make the movie work.
The movie is too long and unfunny to be a comedy. And it's not that I'm opposed to body humor, it's that the movie doesn't even try to be funny for huge segments. I laughed with the rest of them when Dupree broke up Carl and Molly's intimacy because of his emergency with the "crapper." The movie needs more of that, instead of trying to sustain drama and characters that aren't there.
Once, I felt that the movie was actually taunting me. Owen Wilson watches a clip from Roman Holiday, a film starring Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn. As he and I saw that clip, I thought to myself, "Why am I not watching that?!" Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn. Owen Wilson and Kate Hudson. Hrm..... Which should I pick?

Waterfalls, part 2
... small BBQ restaurant in Cashiers, a town not far from Brevard. This is the most typical southern style pit BBQ place we have managed to find, and the food and atmosphere didn't disappoint.
After the last of 7 waterfalls, we made out way back to our accommodation for a quick rest, before heading back into town on the hunt for white squirrels. Damien had read that the best place to see them is at the local college, so we walked into town. On the way we found 2 squirrels on ...

Mr. Jones succeeds Jim McKenzie, who passed away in late 2014. Mr. Jones' appointment was approved by the Board of Directors of the Foundation following an extensive search.
E. Wayne Gent, the newly appointed Superintendent of the St Lucie School Board stated "I am pleased that Mr. Jones will be joining the Education Foundation.

Meet the founder of Muse Technologies: Linda Cureton (FCW photo)
Linda Cureton concluded her tenure as NASA's Chief Information Officer on April 3 and wasted little time forging her next mission as CEO of a new IT consulting company called Muse Technologies, Inc.
Cureton told FCW that she planned to launch the company at midnight on April 4 through her various social media accounts, the company's website – www.muse-technologies.com – and through a YouTube trailer.
Muse Technologies will provide IT consulting, strategy planning and program management to public- and private-sector organizations throughout the lifecycle of IT projects, Cureton said, with an emphasis on IT transformation.
Linda Cureton's Twitter account
Linda Cureton's Facebook account
Muse Technologies Inc.
FCW: Linda Cureton: IT innovator plans her next mission
FCW: Cureton's temporary successor picked
The company will perform "the entire lifecycle of transformation," Cureton added, from leadership development, facilitating the creation of emergent strategies and the programmatic oversight of transformation projects. It will help customers sort through the IT hype and leverage innovation to impact business and mission outcomes.
"I am excited about entering a market where so few companies support the entire lifecycle of transformation," Cureton said. "My dream is to have an impact, change lives, and make a difference through inspired IT-enabled leadership."
Cureton's company will operate out of Prince George's County in Maryland, and will be anchored by three other corporate officers, including her husband, Doug – all of whom have experience in the public and private sectors.
Cureton announced her pending retirement from public service in early 2013 after a 34-year career as a civil servant, including the last three years as NASA's CIO and prior stops along the way at the Departments of Energy and Justice, the White House's Office of Science and Technology Policy, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.
When she initially decided to retire, Cureton said she briefly considered working in industry but eventually came around to the idea of starting her own business -- despite it being the riskier move with sequestration looming and many agencies in the public sector strapped for cash.
"I thought through it, about what I really wanted to do, and I came up thinking I wanted to continue making a difference and work with the people I love, doing what I'm passionate about," said Cureton. She also noted that owning her own business gives her freedom to pursue other interests, like writing another book.
"Some things going on right now certainly are scary," Cureton said. But I look at it and have faith in what I'm doing. Just like the stock market, I think maybe now at this low point it's a good time to get into a business like this."
In the meantime, NASA has pegged associate deputy administrator Richard Keegan to continue as the space agency's acting CIO, but it has not yet named Cureton's permanent replacement.

Hi folks – I've returned from the road trip and am happy to be back in Better Off Red Headquarters!
-Before we get started, I have some All-Star Game mystery prizes to give away, so let's do that now. In the Comments Section of this blog post, tell me who your favorite Reds rookie is and why. I'll choose one random winner and publish his/her comment. That person will win the mystery ASG prizes!
-Speaking of Reds rookies, I'm not sure if you saw this or not…while in Chicago, Reds veterans asked the Reds newbies to walk to the Starbucks across the street from Wrigley Field – in FULL UNIFORM – to pick up coffee for the entire clubhouse…

-This guy has been simply amazing…
– Raisel Iglesias has now entered into some elite company. From Elias:
Elias also says no other Reds pitcher (ever) in the modern era recorded at least 10 strikeouts in each of three consecutive games or three consecutive starts. Very impressive.
-I really think you Reds fans are going to like John Lamb. Not only is he pretty good at what he does for a living but he's also a super-friendly (and interesting) guy. It's really easy to root for him. BOR is planning a Q&A with John during this upcoming homestand, so be sure to tune in for that.
– Thanks to my pal Zach Weber – current Brewers media relations staffer and former Reds intern – for the newest collections to the BOR bobblehead collection! Zach hooked me up when I was in Milwaukee last week.
-Are you folks planning to attend the Brandon Phillips Bowling Bash on Saturday?
– Congratulations to Reds farmhand Amir Garrett (LHP), who earlier this week was named Florida State League Co-Pitcher of the Year! Garrett has posted a 9-7 record while pitching to a 2.44 ERA this season for A-Daytona, including a 7-2 record with a 1.72 ERA in the second half. Garrett is one of our favorites here at Better Off Red and we couldn't be more proud of him!
That's all for now. Lineup and Homestand Highlights coming up…

Fundraiser to Support Local and Global Charities
CINCINNATI – Skip Schumaker is hosting a fantasy football challenge and has invited teammates Todd Frazier, Zack Cozart and Brayan Pena to join him.
Big League Impact is bringing its winning formula to Cincinnati on Tuesday, August 25 for a Fantasy Football live draft. The event will take place in The Handlebar at Great American Ball Park from 11:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.. Fans will then have the opportunity to compete against a Red throughout the entire NFL season.
Proceeds benefit the Big League Impact Global Initiative (www.bigleagueimpact.org), the Reds Community Fund (www.reds.com/community) and the Jessie Rees Foundation (www.negu.org).
Participants will be treated to a VIP ballpark experience that includes drafting and playing fantasy football against a Reds player, a tour of the ballpark, team photos, autographed memorabilia, limited edition BLI merchandise, batting practice viewing, seats to the game and the chance to win an autographed Skip Schumaker BLI jersey and other prizes.
Founded by Adam Wainwright and his brother Trey, Big League Impact started with a single Fantasy Football charity event in 2013 and has expanded to eight MLB cities: San Francisco, New York, St. Louis, Atlanta, Cincinnati, Minneapolis, Pittsburgh and Washington, D.C.. This year's roster of participating MLB players has reached 60 strong and includes Hunter Pence, John Smoltz, Tom Glavine, Neil Walker, Kyle Gibson, Torii Hunter, Matt Holliday, Michael Wacha, Bryce Harper, Stephen Strasburg and Max Scherzer, as well as Cardinal Hall of Famer Ozzie Smith, actor Jon Hamm and St. Louis Rams legends Marshall Faulk and Kurt Warner. BLI has raised $560,000 in support of 18 local charities and made major impact around the globe.
This year Big League Impact will be partnering with the Effective Altruism movement and GiveWell in an effort to maximize return on social investment by working with vetted organizations where need and impact are greatest. This year, 25 percent of all funds from BLI charity events will go to the Big League Impact Global Initiative to the largest impact possible for international communities in need.
From my pal @Bongreatness…
Tonight's game is a makeup for the rainout that took place on June 18th.
Joining us at the ballpark today will be Ryan Johansen of the Columbus Blue Jackets. Ryan will participate in a few events around the ballpark including serving as a shagger in the outfield grass during Reds BP, offering up a ceremonial first pitch and visiting the Reds Connect Zone in the 1st inning of tonight's game. The Blue Jackets open their season on Friday, October 9th.
As part of FS1's promotion of the upcoming college football season – the "HarBus" will be making a stop at Great American Ball Park this evening. The HarBus is on a 12-day, 12-city tour that will culminate in Salt Lake City with the start of FS1's coverage of college football season when the Michigan Wolverines square off against the Utah Utes. Around the ballpark this evening you will see the "HarBros" – five college students from the University of Michigan who are taking part in the tour, dressed to the likeness of Head Coach Jim Harbaugh. For more information on the tour and additional stops, including those at other MLB parks, visit here.

Ms. Marlana VanHoose will join us today to sing God Bless America during the middle of the 7th inning.
Many of you agree that Reds pitcher Homer Bailey and actor Christian Bale could pass for twins. Well, now that the English Premier League season has begun, I've noticed another Bailey doppleganger – Sunderland goalkeeper Costel Pantilimon. What do you think?
From my pal @Bongreatness…
Today is Tony Perez Day at Great American Ball Park. At 4:30PM today we will dedicate a new Great American Ball Park statue featuring Tony's likeness just outside of Crosley Terrace at the main entrance to the ballpark.

The first 30,000 fans in attendance today will receive a Tony Perez Statue, courtesy of LaRosa's. The statue is a miniature replica of the one being unveiled today. Gates to the ballpark are expected to open for all fans at the conclusion of today's unveiling ceremony.
We will hold a pregame ceremony in Tony's honor today beginning at 6:31PM. The ceremony will feature many of Tony's family, close baseball friends and his teammates. In addition to receiving a replica of his statue (a larger one than today's giveaway), Tony will have the opportunity to address the fans joining us at the ballpark and watching live on FOX Sports Ohio and Reds.com, and listening on the Reds on Radio network. Today's ceremony will wrap up with Tony offering up today's ceremonial first pitch.
Ohio's First Lady, and Tony Perez enthusiast, Karen Kasich will serve as today's Honorary Captain.
Please note that our National Anthem will be sung at 6:27PM and that batting practice times have been adjusted (30 minutes earlier) in preparation for today's on-field ceremony.
The Reds yesterday participated in the second annual ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. Brayan Pena, Todd Frazier and Jon Moscot were dowsed with ice cold water in an effort to raise awareness for ALS. Check it out and see who the Reds challenged…

Our Beginning
Hi, I'm Tyler Marx. I've been longboarding for five years and running Broad Bay Boards for three. I began Broad Bay Boards with my father as a way for us to build something together.
With his business expertise and my love for longboarding, we started with only collegiate longboards and sold them on eBay and Amazon.
Since then...
In the past 3 years, I feel that Broad Bay Boards has grown into more than a business, it's a brand that riders of today can believe in. Broad Bay Boards is run with the help of 9 friends.
Our Mission
We strive to provide products that will give you something new in life. We want our wheels to feel new, different, and better than others when ridden. We want your longboard to make you stand out on the college campus.
Ultimately, if you're happy with the experience we can provide you, we have succeeded.

The Garden quilt by Josephine Hunter Craig of Emporia, Kansas. Craig was an expert quilt maker in a community of outstanding quilters in the second quarter of the 20th century. A number of Emporia women created garden medallion quilts; this is Craig's award-winning version. The cotton quilt measures about 86 inches by 85 inches. It was named one of the twentieth century's best American quilts by a panel of judges appointed by the International Quilt Festival.

If you are in your 50s, facial plastic surgery can reduce excess skin, raise drooping muscles, and boost volume in your cheeks.
Pre-operative instructions for facelift will help ensure the most ideal results, reducing the severity of side effects and preventing complications.
Ideal candidates for brow lift surgery are people with forehead lines and wrinkles who are in good general health and have realistic expectations.
Bruising is a normal side effect of facial plastic surgery, such as facelift, eyelift (blepharoplasty), and nose job (rhinoplasty). It can be easily reduced and managed.
Nasolabial folds are also known as smile/laugh lines. They can be treated through facelift surgery, dermal fillers, BOTOX® injections, and fat transfer (microlipoinjection).
Side effects are common after facelift surgery is performed. Pain, swelling, bruising, and discomfort are all generally manageable, though.
Facial plastic surgery and dermabrasion may be just what you need to look your absolute best. Let's take a moment right now to consider how combination treatments may be able to benefit you.
