Best Isolation Tank
Float Lab
If you are feeling at all uneasy about spending two hours floating in water in total sensory deprivation, Crash, the shaggy-haired, flip-flop–wearing owner of Float Lab, will make you feel at ease. Each of his two womblike chambers is filled with body-temperature saltwater and encased in dark, soundproof walls. With
Best Place to Get Flushed
Healing Waters Institute
While colonics might be a daunting thought for some, if one ever requires or desires this purportedly detoxifying treatment, Healing Waters Institute in Studio City is a great place to get flushed. The clean and cozy facility features state-of-the-art equipment that makes colon irrigation mostly comfortable and largely non-invasive. Owner
Best Spa
Wi Spa
The Koreatown bathhouse emporium Wi Spa is tricked out with saunas, hot tubs, steam rooms, clay rooms, salt rooms, ice rooms, 200-plus-degree rooms and myriad other methods of detoxifying and refreshing body and mind. The entrance fee is $30 (with a variety of deals and discounts throughout the week), and
Best Place for a Strong Touch
L.A. Sports Massage
The word "massage" can mean a variety of things. There's Swedish massage, Thai massage, deep-tissue Rolfing, and the kind of massage you get at fringe-y parlors that elicit snickering chatter about "happy endings." L.A. Sports Massage offers a targeted and quality-assured service: a rigorous, but not extremely painful, reparative and
Best Adult Store
Pure Delish
If your idea of an adult shop is a shame-inducing hole-in-the-wall with sticky magazines, XXX video booths filled with men on the sex-offender list, and leather accessories worthy of a farm, Pure Delish probably isn't the place for you. It has no videos and no magazines, but, taking a page...
Best Parfumerie
Bismillah Imports and Oil Shop
For an alternative to overpriced, alcohol-based perfumes, there's Bismillah Imports and Oil Shop. Owner S.M. Farasat Ullah's ample supply of scented and exotic oils is great for your skin. The oil absorbs right in, leaving you smooth, while lingering like a lovely melody — no reapplication necessary. Even better, there's...
Best Affordable Pet Service
Highland Park Animal Hospital
Finding the right vet for your fur family is terrifying. The vet might be a hack, the office might rip you off — maybe both. But have no fear. The much-beloved Highland Park Animal Hospital offers reliable vets and a friendly, attentive staff at a reasonable price. The facility is...
Best Place to Buy Designer Clothes
Many high-end stores will leave you feeling like a not-so-pretty woman, with sneering clerks everywhere and no Richard Gere in sight. At G*Star on Melrose, you get none of that crap. The entire staff is both friendly and beyond competent; everyone seems genuinely excited to help you find what you...
Best Streetwear Shop
Diamond Supply Co.
Fairfax Avenue is crammed with streetwear shops that all sell pretty much the same things: snap-back baseball caps, T-shirts, sweatshirts, skateboard decks, maybe some colorful socks, all with a soundtrack of hip-hop. Diamond Supply Co. has those things, too, but with one big difference: The folks working here will actually...
Best Bookstore Chain
Goodwill Books
Move over, Barnes & Noble. Keenly aware of the opportunity presented by the death of Borders, two years ago Goodwill Books made its move, renting nice storefronts and stocking them with top-condition hardbacks and paperbacks. The books are costlier than at Salvation Army, say, or Out of the Closet, but...
Best Thrift Store
National Council of Jewish Women Thrift Store
L.A. has spectacular thrift stores, but National Council of Jewish Women Thrift Store in Studio City stands above the others because of the high level of fine art that washes down to Ventura Boulevard from the elite canyon enclaves above. On a recent foray, we counted 100-plus pieces, the majority...
Best Pawnshop
The Dina Collection/Beverly Hills Pawn
It's like the answer to your prayers: a pawnshop on ritzy Beverly Drive. Owner Yossi Dina peddles the goodies that rich folk are giving up to finance that Learjet — or maybe because they fell on hard times. Their loss, your gain. When you stroll past the Dina Collection/Beverly Hills...
Best Flea Market
Pasadena City College Flea Market
If you're a flea market junkie, odds are you've done time at the Rose Bowl, where rabid crowds can rival those attending the venue's football games. But head 4½ miles east on a different Sunday to the Pasadena City College Flea Market, and you'll find a first-class flea market in...
Best Place for a Foodie Shopping Spree
Epicure Imports
Imagine a Sam's Club for foodists (but without the membership fee) and you have sense of the atmosphere at the warehouse sale at Epicure Imports. Pushing oversized shopping carts, gourmet bargain hunters swarm the aisles of the specialty food distributor's North Hollywood warehouse, loading up on giant bags of Chinese...
Best Selection of Enticing Goods in a Small Space
Broome Street General Store
Call Broome Street General Store Silver Lake's answer to the "I went to Target to buy shampoo, and I spent $150" Facebook page. Step inside the charming, Baltic blue, clapboard bungalow to grab a cappuccino made with beans from Gimme! Coffee and a sandwich from Cube. Why not sniff and...
Best Pet Boutique
Paw Boutique
If you're seeking something more interesting than a chain store for your pet supplies, Los Angeles has plenty of pet boutiques to choose from. They're all a little different, but most feature the same cramped space with hardened bakery "treats," a small selection of high-end foods and a rack of...
Best New Bookstore
Pop-Hop Books & Print
Pop-Hop Books & Print makes a great respite from a day of browsing the many, many used-clothing boutiques that line Highland Park's York Boulevard. Started in 2012 by Robey Clark and Sarah Balcomb using $10,000-plus in Kickstarter funding, the tiny space packs in everything an Eastside bookstore needs: walls of...
Best Dog Boarding
Paradise Pet Ranch Resort
The first fully licensed, cage-free dog boarding facility in the nation, Paradise Pet Ranch Resort pioneered the idea of offering a "home environment" for dogs, complete with sheepskin pads for dozing and constant human companionship in a sprawling, stylish property. But the 17-year-old business, owned by husband-and-wife team Kristyn Goddard...
Best Surplus Military Shop
Supply Sergeant
A popular stomping ground for television and film studios looking to outfit entire casts in military wear, Burbank's Supply Sergeant has a wide array of surplus clothing, selling everything from American uniforms from the Vietnam War to foreign military gear from Germany, France and the former U.S.S.R. It's the holidays,...
Best Place to Park at LAX
Jackson Parking
Jackson Parking has barely any of the things that seem important for long-term parking near LAX. For starters, it's not even a parking lot — it's a limo service that offers long-term parking as a side business. It has no fancy office — you might find yourself waiting for your...
Best Place to Buy Funky Socks
Paul Smith
Forget that awful, sweaty trend of wearing no socks with your fashionable shoes. Paul Smith is a British fashion designer of exquisite men's wear, and he tops everything off with socks that are daring and eye-catching. In fact, cult film director John Waters specifically recommended Smith's socks to us when...
Best Arts Store
Artist & Craftsman Supply
Caught in a sticky situation searching all over L.A. for glow-in-the-dark Mod Podge, the all-in-one glue, sealer and finish? Head to Artist & Craftsman Supply. Looking for high-quality art supplies on the budget of an after-school art class that you teach in your spare time? Head to Artist & Craftsman...
Best Tattoo Shop
American Electric
Some tattoo shops may be bigger. Some may be fancier. Some may get more attention from celebrity clientele. But when you're looking for a clean, relaxed spot to permanently ink your body, done by artists who will not only listen to what you want but also advise you about size,...
Best Guitar Store
Truetone Music
The guitar's the thing at Truetone Music, which specializes in loud, classic electric guitars. (It has acoustic ones, too, but the emphasis is on the power of unbridled electricity.) One entire long room, annexed from an adjoining storefront, is called Club Fender, and with its spinning, glass display case and...
Best Record Store to Go Treasure Hunting
The Record Jungle
When it comes to record stores in East L.A., Lovell's Records & Tapes in Whittier has a wider selection of music and formats, but the Record Jungle in Montebello is literally a dream come true. If, that is, you're the kind of vinyl-collecting music geek or spun-out turntable die-hard who...
Best Store for Boozehounds
Bar Keeper
When you're tired of dropping $15 on a Sazerac and ready to start drinking at home, a visit to Bar Keeper is a must. Joe Keeper's shrine to craft cocktails is packed with everything you need to pimp out your home bar, from vintage glassware and fancy shakers to muddlers...
Best Yarn Shop
The first thing that hits you when you enter Wildfiber is the smell: It's soft and almost tactile as it emanates from loops of yarn made from cashmere, wool and alpaca. Located in a 2,000-square-foot former laundry building with high ceilings and boundless serenity, the shop boasts shelf after shelf of yarn...
Best Place to Preserve Your Records
With the hipster-driven surge in vinyl record sales comes the need to keep those records in as good a condition as possible. Enter Wes Oishi's SoundSource. Since 1980, it's been the go-to destination in L.A. to find slick, exotic, resealable outer sleeves (and, lately, custom bicycles) imported straight from Japan. The sleeves provide...
Best Video Store
Cinefile Video
In this age of instant digital streaming, there are plenty of places to find movies but surprisingly few places to discover them. Cinefile Video is one of the precious latter. With its hyper-organization of subgenres — bikers, monkeys and pregnant men all have their own sections here — Cinefile functions...
Best Jewelry Store
Chariots on Fire
With a single, massive bookshelf, a few small cabinets and an expanse of bare concrete floor, the spare little boutique Chariots on Fire looks empty at first glance. But look closer. Tiny treasures abound. There are sculptural ceramic necklaces with ribbon ties, and carved crystal-and-fossilized wood rings, and stick earrings...
Best Boutique
Clean, sunlit and airy, stocked with clothing made of materials so soft you can hardly wait to slip them on, Flannel is a shopaholic's dream come true. The Australian-based petite boutique sells clothing primarily from its own line, made only of five signature materials: cool, slippery silk; light, breathable rayon;...
Best Downtown Emporium
Hammer and Spear
A gem lies behind, near, on or in every pillow, trunk and bathtub in this downtown treasure trove. Thanks to the owners — much-praised interior designer Kristan Cunningham (Design on a Dime) and her husband, Scott Jarrell — the home decor collection at Hammer and Spear is so perfectly curated...
Best Denim Boutique
The Denim Refinery
The Denim Refinery has one motto: No denim left behind. This downtown, appointment-only boutique will turn your least favorite denim into a wardrobe staple with one of five treatments. If it's soft jeans you crave, they'll break them in for you. Looking for something trendy and laid-back to cover your...
Best Shoe Store
Milk & Honey
Sisters Ilissa and Dori Howard's popular DIY website, Milk & Honey, allows you to custom-build fabulous footwear to your own specifications — a life-saver if you're a bride-to-be, a busy online shopper looking for the perfect fit, or just someone who wants to create your own (probably cheaper) version of...
Best Secondhand Clothing Shop
Buttons and Bows
Are you trying to buy some Marc Jacobs or Chanel on the cheap? Are you sick of "consignment" that looks like pieces from Betty Draper's closet rather than pre-worn current fashion? If either or both of these things apply to you, look no further than Buttons and Bows. This resale...
Best Marijuana Dispensary
Alternative Herbal Health Services
The fact that this shop was approved by the city of West Hollywood, only to be raided twice by feds, is enough to get you to come by and say high, right? President Obama should stay out of our medicine cabinet. We got a tour of the place from Snoop...
Best Place to Shop Like a Housewife
Kyle by Alene Too
You can't swing a dead pocket dog these days without hitting a chintzy product being peddled by one of the Real Housewives, but lucky for us, in Beverly Hills, the standards seem a bit higher. (But of course.) Case in point: Housewife Kyle Richards has turned her fame and love...
Best Car Wash
Shine & Brite
It's hard to get a hand wash for your ride for less than $10 on the Westside these days. But on Wednesdays, or with a receipt coupon from the nearest Ralphs (the one in Culver Center), you can do just that at this circa 1957 spot. The Shine & Brite...
Best Shoe Repair
Shoe Lab
With shines starting at $12 and dye jobs priced at $50, this little storefront doctor (with another location in Brentwood) isn't cheap. But it's good. A few days with the guys who work the buffing wheel at Shoe Lab and you'll see why $50 is a steal for transforming an...
Best Place to Service Your Mercedes
Westwood Mercedes
Like many German makers these days, Mercedes has aimed downmarket. You can get an entry-level Benz for nearly $30,000, much less if you don't mind a low-mile lease turn-in with a couple years under its belt. That's Toyota Camry cash. But here's the thing: Keeping your Teutonic ride on the...
Best Used Bookstore
Alias Books East
Look, there are some dusty-ass old bookstores out there — and that's cool. But they've usually got 35 copies of Dan Brown's semi-literate diarrhea crammed among shelves overflowing with bedbug-infested copies of Jonathan Livingston Seagull. The bookstores that will carry book lovers through the death of functional paper, however, will...
Best Store for Beer Lovers
Select Beer Store Bottle Shop and Taproom
Behind an unassuming glass façade on Pacific Coast Highway in Redondo Beach exists a beer lover's ultimate shopping destination. At Select Beer Store Bottle Shop and Taproom, more than 500 of the finest domestic and imported bottles of beer suggest your paycheck is burning a hole in your wallet, while...
Best Vintage Car Makeovers and Sales
SportsCar L.A.
If you're shopping for a vintage car that will turn heads yet cost no more than a deadly dull, forgettable used car, SportsCar L.A. is a rare find. Owner Roy Steele has tucked his tiny, clean, indoor car lot behind a gas station in a bleak area just off the...
Best Antique Reproductions
Mitchell Litt Home
Before the surrounding residential area and hills were invaded by studio people and the attendant blocks of pricey cafés and insane housing prices, Mitchell Litt Home in Sherman Oaks was a big reason people with money came to Ventura Boulevard. Think oversized armoires from the South of France and a...
Best Florist
Mark's Garden
Florist-to-the-stars Mark Held has decorated the most elegant premieres and galas in Los Angeles, so naturally his bouquets are not the least bit cheap. But if you want to make a big-time statement of love, congratulations, sympathy or guilt, order from Mark's Garden. Held has decorated the Oscars' Governors Ball...
Best Place to Shop for Your Friend's Baby Shower
Let your friend fill up her registry at Buy Baby Buy. Let her mother-in-law brave the crowds and awful lighting at Kids R Us to buy her a layette of onesies and stacks of diapers. Just because you're now spending your Saturdays at baby showers instead of mimosa-fueled brunches does...
Best Mall
Santa Monica Place
The standard suburban mall is roughly the same from Topeka to Topanga: There's your Banana Republic, your J. Crew, your Baby Gap. You can buy shoes at Nine West, a gift for your dude at Champs Sports and, when you're ready for a pause in the shopping, a salad and...
Best "I Love L.A." T-shirt Alternative
L.A. is a city of independent thinkers, so why would we even dream of expressing our hometown pride with the same old clichéd "I Love L.A." T-shirt? (Especially when said cliché is just ripping off New York.) Enter N8 clothing, a homegrown company channeling L.A. love into refreshing new designs...
Best Cheap Boutique
Cozzi Cozzi
The clothes lover generally has two options: Pay through the nose, and browse a carefully curated selection of blouses and designer denim in a stress-free environment; or go cheap, and elbow your way past a million other bargain lovers in a fluorescent barn with (ugh) communal dressing rooms and rack...
Best Niche Bookstore
Esowon Books
Now that Leimert Park has secured a stop on the soon-to-be-built Crenshaw Line, word has it that rents are starting to go up. Here's hoping that trend doesn't displace Esowon Books, which has managed to survive the general decline of brick-and-mortar bookstores. The place is probably best known for its...
Best Car Mechanic
Mar Vista Service
You would not spot Mar Vista Service from the street. It's tucked behind a stained-glass shop, next to the Curious Palate on busy Venice Boulevard. But it does plenty of business, which suggests good word-of-mouth. Customers report that Raymond, the owner, is the type to discourage you from making repairs...
Best Oddity Shop
Vlad the Retailer
Sunset Boulevard and Mohawk Avenue in Echo Park may be the hippest corner in all of Los Angeles. To the east, it gets genuinely gritty. Any farther west, and you're into bourgeois Silver Lake. For now, Mohawk is the point of equilibrium, and at that point sits Vlad the Retailer...
Best Secondhand Children's Clothing Store
Grow Kid Grow
Seen recently on sale here: a green baby T-shirt with the words, "My Mom Is Cooler Than Your Mom" for $1.99. Another onesie makes the point even more directly: "My Mommy Rocks." Yes, this is Silver Lake, where the dominant anxiety is: "This kid doesn't make me look lame, does...
Best Place to Buy a Car Stereo
Find It All Car Stereo
What could be more American than driving along the highway — while blasting your favorite rock & roll? If you want to turn your automobile into a rockin' party on wheels, hit Find It All Car Stereo. Situated behind a large car wash, this tidy Koreatown shop is jammed with...
Best Place to Buy Cigars

The 2nd Street Cigar Lounge & Gallery provides both an atmosphere and an experience, with locally made artworks, large-screen plasma TVs and comfortable chairs and couches encouraging prolonged visits. The humidor is fairly well-stocked,...
Best Pet Healer
The PetStaurant
The PetStaurant is an animal life-saver, a unique store where owner Marc Ching and his staff guide your furry friends along an individualized nutrition path meant to neutralize their ailments and diseases. Contrary to the name, dogs and cats do not dine in at the establishment next to candelabras and goblets of water. They will,...
Best Place to Buy a Reptile
Exotic Life Fish & Reptile
Los Angeles is often accused of being a cold-blooded place. The folks over at Exotic Life Fish & Reptile readily agree, but they love it. After all, their cold-blooded cohorts of choice aren't shifty entertainment producers or slimy executives but rather awesomely colorful and unusual lizards, fish, toads, snakes and...
Best Place to Buy New Furniture
Apartment dwellers on a budget — which is, let's admit it, all of us — often feel as if they have two choices for furnishing their homes: Ikea or Craigslist. Neither is all that appealing. But Angelenos have a third option that keeps both McApartments and weird stains at bay:...

Best Consciousness-Raising Shopping
Hidden inside the International Society for Krishna Consciousness is, unexpectedly, a great spot for a lunch date with a girlfriend. On the ground floor is a buffet serving healthful vegan or vegetarian food — all you can eat for $8, or charged by weight if you prefer. After you eat,...
Best Place to Shop for Your Niece or Nephew
Tara Riceberg, the owner of Tweak, believes in engaging. That's why, in her shop, much of the merchandise for kids is at kid level, and they're encouraged to explore and interact. There is a table where little ones can play and draw, plus an air hockey table. Riceberg brings her...
Best Gift Shop
Located in the heart of Culver City, Lundeen's is the sort of shop you wander through muttering under your breath: "Cool!" "Neat!" "Why didn't I think of that?" It's a treasure trove of trendy, fun gifts for everyone on your list. Pretty little necklaces and earrings? Check. Books on such...
Best Women's Clothing Swap Shop
Give + Take
Tired of last summer's lacy frock? You could blow a paycheck on a new one at the mall. Or you could trade the old one for a new one — or flower-print jeans, or strappy teal sandals, or a lacy black dress — at Give + Take. Located on a...
Best Japanese Bookstore
Since opening in Tokyo 85 years ago, Kinokuniya has brought its Japanese aesthetic to bookstores worldwide, including branches in L.A., San Francisco and Portland.

Best Beard & Bang Trim
The Hive Los Angeles
Lissa Renn's salon, The Hive Los Angeles, doubles as an art gallery, and if you happen to stop in to check out its rotating installations, stay for a trim. Most of the stylists working here have a strong background in barbering, and they're quick to whip facial hair, be it...
Best 3-D Nail Artist
Nail Swag
Four years ago, Natalie Nichole couldn't find an L.A.-area salon to give her the 3-D Japanese nail art she wanted, so she decided to start doing it herself. Today she's one of the most sought-after nail artists in Hollywood, yet she's still accessible to the public — a rarity in...
Best Place to Cure a Cold
Tonic & Juice Bar at Erewhon Natural Foods Market
Summer cold got you down? Get a boost from the tonic technicians behind the counter at the Tonic & Juice Bar at Erewhon Natural Foods Market. The bar's juice, shot and tonic menu is extensive — popular drinks include the "tequila shot" (wheatgrass, ginger, lemon and cayenne pepper) and a "green...

Best Color Correction
Get a Damn Haircut
When at-home hair color goes wrong, it's time to schedule an emergency session with a professional. Whether it was a Pinterest-inspired ombre that claimed to be easy to do yourself (ha!) or a bleach job that turned your hair a sickly shade of orange, Andi Scarbrough at Get a Damn...
Best Place to Fix Your Chola Eyebrows
Senna Makeup & Brow Studio

Best Dollhouse Shop
My Doll's House
Is your inner 75-year-old grandmother feeling neglected? Show her some love at My Doll's House and pick up an unassembled Victorian, or Tudor, or Colonial or Vermont farmhouse. Put it together yourself, if you're feeling crafty and brave. Or have a nice associate from the shop assemble it for you...
Best Organic Pet Food
Got Pet Food
Is Fluffy on a paleo diet? Get your canine or feline to Got Pet Food, the Dean & DeLuca of pet food stores. Here, it is perfectly acceptable to insist that your cat will eat only protein-dense, gluten-free, grain-free, organic, raw, frozen rabbit muscle meat. Or that your dog will...
Best Place to Shop Like You're in Tokyo
Tokyo Japanese Lifestyle Outlet
Everything in Tokyo Japanese Lifestyle Outlet is small, cute, weird and expensive — exactly, as the name suggests, like Tokyo itself. The Sawtelle branch, in particular, is the perfect place to visit after gorging on that 2,000-calorie bowl of ramen across the street at Tsujita. Here you will find, if...
Best Hunting Shop
Bass Pro Shops
Ask not whether Bass Pro Shops has remote-control duck decoys but rather which species of remote-control duck decoy might be in stock. This store is Bloomingdale's for people who like to kill animals. If you need it to hunt, trap, track, shoot, skin, smoke, cook or otherwise prepare game, Bass...
Best Place to Buy Used Furniture
Vintage furniture store TINI — which stands for This Is Not Ikea — grew out of owner Alexis Hadjopulos' serious shopping addiction (he once had an entire room in his house devoted to nightstands). His unique finds come from garage sales, estate sales, flea markets and auctions. Shabby chic lamps,...
Best Cheap Nail Salon
Contempo Nails
To call Contempo Nails a nail salon is like calling the Queen Mary a boat. When you enter this bustling ode to O.P.I., you will be ushered immediately to an armchair by Diane Chiang, the diminutive proprietress/taskmaster/saint who has run this place with military precision for the last 30 years. Within...
Best Comic Store
Melrose Music and Comics
The Simpsons has ingrained a certain expectation of comic book purveyors into the collective psyche of a generation: acerbic, corpulent, inaccessible. Fortunately for Los Angeles, the personable staff of Melrose Music and Comics provides less of an Android's Dungeon and more of a clubhouse for SoCal's nerd community. In addition...
Best Place to Pretend You're Shopping in Portland
Individual Medley
Backyard parties are the salons of our century, so satisfy the savage leisure king or queen with mess kits, campfire accoutrements and stylish Herschel backpacks at Individual Medley, an Atwater Village outfitter. But it's not all Portland chic here. Owners Justin and Monica Boyes curate an eclectic, organic, design-minded collection...
Best Place to Get Vintage Pendletons
Surfing Cowboys
For 18 years, Wayne & Donna Gunther's Abbot Kinney shop has been a go-to for old-school California style, serving up classic surfing artifacts, teak and tiki housewares and driftwood-modern furniture gleaned from the days of woodie station wagons and reverbed-out, wave-riding anthems.

Best Professional Movers
Meathead Movers
Usually, "meathead" is a pejorative term. Not for brothers Aaron and Evan Steed. At their company, Meathead Movers, being a meathead is a good thing. The family-owned business started nearly 20 years ago when the siblings realized they needed to make some cash while going to school and participating in...
Best SoCal-Lifestyle Boutique
The Golden State
Walking into the Golden State feels a bit like stumbling into a '60s-era beachcomber's seaside surf shack, one that sells everything from teensy bikinis and pyrite jewelry to handmade notebooks and log-shaped ceramic pot pipes. A third-generation Californian, shop owner Stephanie Addis sells only things that are unique and authentic...
Best Offbeat Museum Bookshop
Center for Land Use Interpretation
The Center for Land Use Interpretation is not quite a museum. Like its neighbor, the Museum of Jurassic Technology, it's more of a meta-museum. It also carries a bonanza of books on any subject, as long as it's a subject related to the land. The center's shop occupies only a...
Best Shop for Bicyclists
If the packs of bicyclists on weekly group rides through Glassell Park look particularly stylish, it's probably because they've been outfitted in Swrve denim cigarette shorts, cotton skinny knickers or lightweight trousers, all handmade at Swrve's world headquarters and sold at the adjoining VeloLove storefront on Verdugo Boulevard. Whereas nearby...
Best Swap Meet for Rock & Roll Relics
Santa Clarita Swap Meet
The site of a cowboy rodeo in the 1920s, a hot-rod showcase in the '30s and '40s, and a racetrack that once hosted a NASCAR series in the '90s, the Saugus Speedway's current attraction is an entirely different kind of outdoor spectacle: the Santa Clarita Swap Meet, held Tuesdays, Saturdays...

Best Government Gift Shop
Skeletons in the Closet

Best Place to Buy Designer Jeans
J Brand Factory Outlet
Hidden in the corner of a nondescript strip mall on the outskirts of downtown, the J Brand Factory Outlet is one of those shopping havens frequented only by extremely plugged-in bargain hunters (and, now, you). Among the racks and boxes full of jeans, savvy shoppers can find items with a...
Best Time-Travel Mall
Puente Hills Mall
What could possibly be so special about some shopping mall in the City of Industry? Maybe the fact that the parking lot at Puente Hills Mall is where Michael J. Fox drove a DeLorean back in time. Yes indeed, Back to the Future's iconic time-travel scenes were shot in the...
Best Place to Buy Japanese Knives
Need knives sharpened as well as those used by the famed fishmongers who expertly slice sushi at Tokyo's Tsukiji fish market? Look no farther than Hitachiya, an unassuming storefront in Torrance's Rolling Hills Plaza, where Hirota Masazumi personally primes your knives. The original outpost of Hitachiya is located in Tsukiji...
Best Body Scrub
Aroma Spa & Sports
Quickly, you're naked and being rigorously but pleasantly exfoliated by a spa attendant. The body scrub doubles as a full-body massage and is not for the shy, but your skin will never feel smoother, and the results seem to last for at least a week. The women's area of Aroma...

Power oatmeal sounds awesome! I might sub some slivered almonds for the flaxseed oil. It's been so cold, a hot breakfast that I can make at work sounds lovely. Just take the dry ingredients premixed, and add the water and nuke at work, I can do that!
If I keep starting over, eventually it will stick, right?

Im too are one of those who cannot get full with just a salad. I have to have my carbs and meat. I'm bad at limiting myself off limits with certain kind of foods so what I did at the start is to always tell myself to leave 1/3 of the portion on the plate.
Eventually right now, i'm leaving half the portion each time i have my meals. I am no longer taking as much as what I am able to eat. I'm not a huge fan of donuts but got tempted to have 3 at one go. Afterwards, i felt sick and nauseous, and freaking full to the max. I reckon my body has conditioned itself to eat lesser and "reject" bad food.
I don't eat salads usually because first, it didn't fill me and veggies are carbs too (good carbs) so I felt it's a waste to put in those carbs in my body when I know I gotta reach out for more snacks after 2 hours or so. What I did is to have some rice (im asian so rice is like a staple to me but other forms of starch or carbs works fine too), meat and vegetables. I will make sure i eat all the meat and veggies but leave half the rice on the plate.
Sometimes I get hungry by 5 and still at work, so i grab a chocolate cookie which helps to keep my blood sugar consistent. Been doing this on and off for 3 weeks and though the weight loss is slow, I didn't gain any weight even when I stuffed myself on christmas and with the donuts.
I believe this works for me, except that I need to get out for a good jog every morning. Like everyone says, each one of us are different, so i'm sure you can find a right diet that complements your weight loss goals. Good luck

And, I forgot to add, water keeps me real full after meals, so you can try drinking the required amount for your body weight. For me, it's 70 oz according to my body weight. Basically 50% of your weight is the number of oz you have to drink a day.

Runbikeski my degree is in biomedical engineering. That's where I picked up all my biochem and biomechanics.
Mike, I use whey from Trader Joe's. Even when I don't put in the flax oil I don't have clumping problems. Then again, I also use steel cut oats, not the pre-mealed powdery Quaker Oats stuff so maybe that lends itself to clumping too.
Happy New Year everyone!
My rules:
1) eat real food - more vegetables, moderate meat, moderate fruits, less grains, less sugar, less vegetable oils.
2) exercise - moderate intensity cardio, sprinting, heavy lifting, dedicated stretching and mobility.
3) live - relax, de-stress, meditate.

Traveling the Underground Railroad from Virginia to Ontario
in Travel
We'll share stories about some of the Underground Railroad and a Destination Spotlight will shine on the Faukland Islands and Romania.
The City of Norfolk, Virginia is an important 400-year-old port city and home to the largest naval base in the world. But, surprisingly as a southern mid-Atlantic city, Norfolk also played a crucial role in the Underground Railroad as one of the last port stops on the road to freedom north. Much of this history is now being shared through Norfolk's self-guided Waterways to Freedom Tour that our guest, Dr. Cassandra Newby-Alexander from Norfolk State University helped to create.
Historian and author Debra Sandoe McCauslin has deep roots in Gettysburg and Adams County, Pennsylvania. We learned about her family history and, in our car ride with her along the Underground Railroad, Debra brought to life the voices of some fugitive slaves and the Quakers who helped them.
Lewiston, New York was the final stop for runaway slaves from the South who sought to cross the border into Canada to freedom. Once slaves reached Lewiston, locals helped them cross the Niagara River by boat or by foot when the river was frozen.
After the War of 1812, Canada's reputation as a safe haven for fugitive slaves grew because of the development of settlements like the Southern Ontario farming community of Buxton, formerly the Elgin Settlement. Buxton was one of four planned settlements for former and runaway slaves and its founder, Reverend William King, a white man, fought other white settlers to establish the area.
Boston State Senator William Owens, with Donald Brown on The Gist of Freedom
in Education
Boston State Senator William Owens, with Donald Brown on The Gist of Freedom and TANDLRADIO.COM! This show is in honor of George Edwin Taylor!
More than one hundred years before Barack Obama, George Edwin Taylor made presidential history. Born in the antebellum South to an enslaved black man and a freed woman, Taylor became one of the first African American ticketed as a political party's nominee for president of the United States, running against Theodore Roosevelt in 1904.
Read it here http://bit.ly/BlackPresCandidate
Orphaned as a child at the peak of the Civil War, Taylor spent several years homeless before boarding a Mississippi riverboat that dropped him in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Taken in by an African American farm family, Taylor attended a private school and eventually rose to prominence as the owner and editor of a labor newspaper and as a vocal leader in Wisconsin's People's Party. At a time when many African Americans felt allegiance to the Republican Party for its support of abolition, Taylor's sympathy with the labor cause drew him first to the national Democratic Party and then to an African American party, the newly formed National Liberty Party, which in 1904 named him its presidential candidate.

Forging Freedom with Amrita Chakarabarti Myers, Ph.D.
in History
Forging Freedom: Black Women and the Pursuit of Liberty in Antebellum Charleston
For black women in antebellum Charleston, freedom was not a static legal category but a fragile and contingent experience. A deeply researched social history, Forging Freedom reveals the ways in which black women in Charleston acquired, defined, and defended their own vision of freedom.
Drawing on legislative and judicial materials, probate data, tax lists, church records, family papers, and more, Myers creates detailed portraits of individual women while exploring how black female Charlestonians sought to create a fuller freedom by improving their financial, social, and legal standing. Examining both those who were officially manumitted and those who lived as free persons but lacked official documentation, Myers reveals that free black women filed lawsuits and petitions, acquired property (including slaves), entered into contracts, paid taxes, earned wages, attended schools, and formed familial alliances with wealthy and powerful men, black and white--all in an effort to solidify and expand their freedom. Never fully free, black women had to depend on their skills of negotiation in a society dedicated to upholding both slavery and patriarchy. Forging Freedom thus examines the many ways in which Charleston's black women crafted a freedom of their own design instead of accepting the limited existence imagined for them by white Southerners.
Amrita Chakrabarti Myers earned her doctorate in American History from Rutgers University. A historian of the black female experience, she is interested in race, gender, sexuality, rights, freedom, and citizenship and the ways in which these constructs intersect with one another in the lives of black women in the Old South. She is currently Associate Professor of History and Gender Studies at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana.
Can the African-American Diet be Made Healthier Without Giving up Culture
in Pop Culture
Miller says: If you actually look at rural roots of soul food in the antebellum South, it was a cuisine primarily based on seasonal vegetables, and very little meat was eaten. Meat was typically used to flavor the vegetables, which fits into a culinary framework from West Africa, where dried, salted, or smoked fish was often used to one pot meals. Frying was for special occasions, so their food tended to be baked, boiled, or eaten raw. Think about what nutritionists are telling us to eat: dark leafy greens, sweet potatoes, legumes, and fish. These are building blocks of soul food! In the antebellum South, the enslaved were pretty much fed water, vegetables with little meat; prestige foods were only served during special occasions on weekends, when the work schedule slowed down. Because of the shift in tempo, you could do more elaborate cooking using more prestigious and processed ingredients like butter, refined flour, sugar, and whole milk rather than the whole-wheat flour, molasses, and buttermilk that was more readily available. The diet is closer to what we now call vegan. Soul food's unhealthy reputation grows when more celebration foods and processed foods enter the diet as people become more prosperous. Quite naturally, if you have more disposable income, you start eating the good stuff more often; thus, celebration food becomes more commonplace. This is further compounded by eating more fast food and industrialized food. To me, that's a bigger factor of perceived health problems in the African American community, more so than soul food.

Time of Divine Encounter, Destiny, Power, Deliverance and Salvation
in Spirituality
One of the missions of the devil is to snare you. A snare is a device, often consisting of a noose, for capturing small game in hunting. It could be anything serving to entrap or entangle you unawares; this is a trap or a chain used to cripple your progress and destiny in this life. Anytime we are delivered from any oppression, God retaliates them upon the enemy who is the cause.
We can look at Haman, we can also look at Nebuchadnezzar, he saw three people in the furnace, but they became four, the people who took them burnt. In the lions den, the evil workers were thrown into the den of lions. We cannot go to the Strongman's house, unless we bind the strong man. The reason why the devil snares us is because, we are strong men. If he could bind you, he can get your wife, children and other things. So when God delivers you from any strong man, just like Haman, He snares your enemies so that you can prevail. May you walk in divine power and authority today in Jesus name!
Since this is a spiritual warfare, we need to understand that, according to the Bible, the Fowler Is the Devil Himself! And the bird is our soul. Satan is absolutely determined to overthrow every believer who walks in holiness and complete devotion to Jesus Christ. Indeed, the devil knows where you live and work every path you take, every footstep.
My dear, Satan is not omnipresent. He cannot be everywhere at once. Nor does he know all things; otherwise he would be like God. He does have at his command multitudes of demonic beings, principalities and powers of darkness who operates in spirit. And these evil workers trail you. They go about like Fowler, laying traps to ensnare you, they are hidden, crafty, diabolical traps! Demonic powers are at work, they are after our soul,they are laying traps for Christians! The snare is broken

Looks like Ms. Mairone's lawyers are as corrupt as she is! They should be ridden out of the courtroom by Judge Rakoff.
This is just the tip of the iceberg of what Countrywide and Bank of America have hustled taxpayers for. Ms. Mairone can either fess up to the other Countrywide and BofA executives involved or face the music. Having her lawyers try to intimidate the jury is despicable!
If Jed Rakoff thought her lawyers were corrupt, or that this was anything more than a mistake, he wouldn't hesitate to "ride them out" of the court room. I've followed Rakoff's cases for years, he doesn't take sh*t from anyone and he does what he believes to be true and fair, regardless of popular opinion - which is why attorneys and regulators alike fear him. I think he's awesome. As for Ms. Mairone, don't you find it odd that SHE is on trial, singled out, when it's pretty clear those she was working for created this mess? I don't know her and I'll wait to see if anything comes out during trial that changes my opinion, but other than the good old boys at Countrywide she was working for, the only people I think should be on trial is the branding idiot who came up with the "Hustle" nickname for the program. How they ever thought that wouldn't look dodgy to anyone in hindsight is beyond me.

There's a scene in "Fahrenheit 911," left-wing filmmaker Michael Moore's mostly forgotten 2004 tirade against George W. Bush, that some of today's unhappy voters might recognize.
Moore was angry that Congress passed the Patriot Act so quickly that some lawmakers hadn't read the whole bill. So Moore went to Democratic Rep. John Conyers for an explanation.
"How could Congress pass this Patriot Act without even reading it?" Moore asked.
"Sit down, my son," Conyers said, lowering his voice as if to reveal a trade secret. "We don't read most of the bills. Do you really know what that would entail, if we were to read every bill that we passed?"
Years have passed, and we're in a completely different political environment today. But there is still no single complaint about Congress that resonates more with voters than the charge that lawmakers do not read the bills they vote on. How can they enact far-reaching legislation that touches almost every part of American life without even knowing what they're passing?
"Imagine if you went into your doctor and you're sent to a specialist and they don't even look at your chart or talk to you," says Rob Steele, a Michigan cardiologist who is challenging longtime Democratic Rep. John Dingell. "That's what is going on. They're not reading the bills, and they're not representing the people."
Across the country, Republican candidates -- men and women who, like Steele, have never run for public office before and aspire to become citizen-legislators -- feel the same way. So much so that a read-the-bill provision was the least controversial part of the House Republicans' Pledge to America, unveiled Sept. 23.
"We will ensure that bills are debated and discussed in the public square by publishing the text online for at least three days before coming up for a vote in the House of Representatives," says the Pledge. "No more hiding legislative language from the minority party, opponents and the public. Legislation should be understood by all interested parties before it is voted on."
Republican leaders didn't come up with that provision on their own. They got it by listening. "It's the expectation of the voters," says a GOP aide. "Our members are routinely being asked, 'Did you read this? Did you understand what it meant?'"
It wouldn't be hard to do. Republican Rep. John Culberson and Democratic Rep. Brian Baird already have a measure pending, H.R. 554 -- aka the "Read the Bill" bill -- that would require that the final language of a bill be available on the Internet for 72 hours before it is voted on. So far, it hasn't passed.

The first article in a series on split injection GC focuses on the advantages of using "shoot-and-dilute" GC.
Dead-volume effects can cause serious trouble for chromatographers. But if you understand what dead volume is and how it affects chromatographic results, you can take control of it.

Imaging techniques using vibrational spectroscopy, MS, and atomic force microscopy have all been advancing and gaining momentum in recent years. There is great potential power in these imaging techniques, particularly in the biomedical field. Here, Thomas Bocklitz of the Friedrich-Schiller- University Jena discusses his work combining these techniques.

Is your swimming pool clean and safe? Recreational water illness, most commonly in the form of digestive tract illness or skin, ear, or respiratory infections, is often caused by water contamination. The authors present a robust method, using solid-phase extraction and high-resolution mass spectrometry, for monitoring swimming pool water.
A survey of LCGC readers on sample preparation techniques and methodology investigated trends in technologies being used, sample loads, sample sizes, automation, the use of SPE devices (cartridges, disks, plates, tips), SPE chemistries, selection criteria, and problems encountered.

This first installment of the "Sample Prep Perspectives" column presents an overview of the primary manual and automated sample preparation techniques—methods that are much the same as those in use today.
As expected, the new products introduced in the past year in the area of chromatographic sample preparation, while somewhat limited, mirror the current development in the field.

Some modern HPLC systems resemble spacecraft in terms of their technology, designed as they are to operate to the highest efficiencies, compared to traditional systems. However, I still see countless examples where high efficiency columns are used on systems which are not matched and cannot support the highest efficiencies offered by the column.
After 10 years at U.T. Arlington, I have decided it is time to take one of the best opportunities afforded to researchers in an academic faculty position—to travel abroad and assimilate new techniques into my repertoire to enhance future research activities.
Seven outdated traditional practices that should not be performed without considering alternative approaches that can improve results, provide lower operation costs, or give faster run times. Instead of working harder, analytical scientists should work smarter. Learn more by clicking through the slideshow.
Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary defines a myth as "an ill-founded belief held uncritically, especially by an interested group." Could that group be misinformed chromatographers?
Crawford Scientific (Strathaven, UK) has announced that it will become YMC Europe's (Dinslaken, Germany) sole authorized distributor within the UK.
Sciex (Framingham, Massachusetts, USA) has announced a co‑marketing agreement with Pressure BioSciences, Inc. (South Easton, MA, USA), which aims to address the challenges arising in complex sample preparation.
Researchers from Imperial College London and the University of Aberdeen have identified disease markers for Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT), commonly known as "sleeping sickness". Using reversed-phase ultrahigh‑performance liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (UHPLC–MS) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy researchers found 53 discriminatory metabolite markers.

Pesticide Residue Analysis: Tips and Tricks for the Whole Workflow
This e-book, based on a series of four web seminars, provides pesticide residue analysts with valuable information from Thermo Fisher Scientific about the development and optimization of methods and workflows for the analysis of pesticide residues in food.
They say a picture paints a thousand words…This month I've taken inspiration from a recent webcast, presented at www.chromacademy.com, in which I presented real data from our work that represents some 'classic' GC problems.
Static headspace sampling is typically used for the determination of volatile and semi-volatile analytes in liquids and, more rarely, solid matrices. Application examples include the analysis of alcohols in blood, residual solvents in pharmaceuticals, flavours and taints in food and beverages as well as fragrances in perfumes and detergents.

The LA City Section released its playoff brackets Saturday morning and there weren't too many surprises. Birmingham earned the No. 2 seed behind Narbonne and will face Palisades Friday in the first round.
Taft, however, could be surprised it received the No. 5 seed behind No. 3 Garfield/No. 4 Dorsey. The Toreadors played Birmingham close and the City has previously given two teams in the same league a Top 4 seed.
Taft-Sylmar will be a fun first round game. Arleta faces Venice and El Camino Real travels to Garfield. Eagle Rock gets the first crack at Narbonne.
The City Section finals this year will be at Cerritos College on December 5. Below the jump, we break down Division 2 and 3.

Tamriel Rebuilt is a community mod project which aims to recreate portions of The Elder Scrolls universe. We are currently developing the province of Hammerfell as a modification for TES IV: Oblivion. Using our own stylistic interpretations along with established TES lore, we intend to flesh out this province and create an engaging gameplay experience. We are approaching this enormous task on a region by region basis, selecting small portions, developing them fully and moving on. This will not only enable us to explore all areas of TES IV modding, but will allow us to take advantage of the broad range of talent available in our community. We have a number of organized departments working on the various aspects of our mod. These include, but are certainly not limited to: Concept Art, Objects of Tamriel (custom assets), Literature, Sound and Music, Exteriors, Interiors, and Quests.
Our first task on the Oblivion engine involves creating the Isle of Stirk. It is a small island located east of Cyrodiil. Its precise location can be seen on the 'West Tamriel Map' that was released shortly before TESA: Redguard. There is almost no existing Elder Scrolls lore concerning Stirk, so we are developing a unique story line consistent with what is known about the Abecean Sea and its relation to both Cyrodiil and Hammerfell.
If you would like join us in modding Hammerfell and the Isle of Stirk, or if you would simply like to know more, visit our forums at www.tamriel-rebuilt.org, or log onto our IRC channel. We'll see you there!
Hey guys. First of all, let me assure you that this mod really is alive. It keeps me quite busy, hence I am not able to update this page very often. The best place to get updates remains our official website, including forums and blog.
Anyways, lets get right down to it. The Hammerfell-Cyrodiil border is nearing completion. All locales have been finalized and now all that remains is testing and fixing quests and adding some of Hammerfell in the background. As you may know Hammerfell uses its own world space so the border will feature 2 forts and a cave to cross into the new world.
Goldmoor has also been going well. Most of the region is completely done, and the rest is progressing well. Currently I am doing review and final fixes on claims 8-1 through 8-5, this includes merging the claims into the main file and synchronizing the look of the region. These claims include many of Goldmoor's unique areas, including an ancient imperial fort overlooking the province; the town of Stonemoor, situated high on a platough; and of course the city of Rihad. Check out the video below for a quick look at what the area has to offer.
Hm, what else? Many new models have been made for Hammerfell, including a whole new dock set and a great set of market tents and stalls. Helkori objects have also been completed, and we have begun work on the generation preset.
I guess this is it for now :) If you like what you see you should register on our forums, it is the only source for real news and progress. We are also still in need of members, and as always everyone is welcome!
Yep, this mod is indeed still alive and kicking. After neglecting ModDB for a long time i come to you with news, screenshots, and videos of the province...
The Isle of Stirk is getting closer and closer! Only the main questline requires completing, the rest are finished and tested! Expect a final release...
As many of you probably know, Goldmoor is the first region that Tamriel Rebuilt is doing for the Oblivion engine. Goldmoor is a grassy area covering the...

does this mod work with Shivering Isles?
yes, it does.
which files should i download from the website to get the rebuilt thing for tamriel?
Some fast Questions:P :
1. Is there any known issues with this mod?
2. Can i still play normal Oblivion like main quest and Factions ( like Mages guild)
1) there are minor bugs with stirk, all of which are easily fixable.
2) yes, it does not interfere with anything in cyrodiil.
well there adding 2 new provinces dont expect it to be done and finished or almost finished.
umm no offense but this mod just kinda looks sorta cheezy from the screenies i mean no doubt you guys worked hard on it! but uh just has this, look.... idk how to put it
You obviously don't understand the entirety of this project...
Its like making a car completely out of coke cans. Repainting them. Running out back and sculpting the engine parts by hand with a lighter and hairspray, Killing the cow for leather, ect, ect. And your complaining about the color of the headlights.
And from the size and breadth of this mod... we're talking about a Hummer H3 their making here. Show a bit of respect.
if you dont like it dont play it, simple as that :/
Ya well,Is there a war between any provinces in Tamriel?It would be cool to see entire armies from those provinces clash,Or even better,Fight in them!
No, there is no war between any of the provinces. additionally, massive armies are impossible to do without completely killing FPS.
there will be plenty of battle, but on a smaller scale.
Okay,,But you might want to change ''Released October 9th 2007''Its done yet,Right?
Well, we did release Stirk around that time, that may be what its referring too. To be honest, i have no idea how to change that :/

Don't you try to tell me someone's waiting.
They're not waiting for you.
Oh and don't you try to tell me that you're wanted.
That you're needed.
Cause it's not true.
I know why you're lonely.
It's time you knew it too.
No one will ever love you, no one will ever love you.
No one will ever love you like I do.
Why you always looking for the limelight?
Ain't you satisfied with me?
For once why don't you get down off your high heels,
you're no big deal.
Can't you see? I know why you're lonely.
It's time you knew it too.
No one will ever love you. No one will ever love you.
No one will ever love you like I do.
I'm all you got.
I'm all you'll ever need.
I'm all you'll ever have.

A conservation group says metro Atlanta has made incremental progress in reducing water use since 2011, but could do more. Atlanta-based Chattahoochee Riverkeeper released the findings as part of a 40-page update to its 2011 report, "Filling the Water Gap: Conservation Successes and Missed Opportunities in Metro Atlanta."
Officials are urging the federal government to reconsider a decision to quit staffing navigational locks built on the Chattahoochee River south of Columbus, Ga., and Phenix City, Ala.

M.J.'s back and reluctantly ready for her closeup in the latest funny, yet
chilling, adventure by gifted storyteller Laurie. Although the work this psychic heroine engages in is a bit unusual,
her practical, no-nonsense streak keeps the story grounded. Goosebumps and ghosts are plentiful in this creepy, utterly entertaining murder mystery.
Medium M.J. Holliday knew that letting her over-enthusiastic business partner Gilley Gillespie talk her into participating in a new Bravo TV show on mediums was a bad idea. But she caved, so M.J., Gilley and M.J.'s main squeeze, Dr. Steven Sable, head to San Francisco. Before the gang even checks into the haunted Drake Hotel, they get involved in murder.
A young woman has fallen from the hotel -- was it suicide or murder? M.J. speaks with the ghostly victim and informs the police that it was definitely murder. Meanwhile, of her three fellow mediums, M.J. realizes only one, Heath Whitefeather, is legit. Which turns out to be a blessing, since it appears the Drake is haunted by something more than a ghost. To battle this demonic danger, M.J. will need all the help she can get. (OBSIDIAN, Mar., 336 pp., $6.99)

What is everyone up to this week?
We are on a staycation, but really we have been so busy doing daytrips that I completely fell off my exercise routine. Fortunately, we have been hiking all over the county as part of our library's summer reading program. We are all exhausted at the end of day after all the walking. Good stuff!

Mailman 3.0
Mailman 3.0 was released on April 28, 2015. See also the release notes.
Contributors are welcome and encouraged! Discussions will happen on the mailman-developers mailing list. Anyone can check out and use the current development source branches.
Development and status
Mailman 3 is essentially five projects:
Mailman Bundler - Installer for Mailman Suite including all above projects
Mailman 3.0 is most suitable to new installations of Mailman. We do not guarantee that it will work well for migrations and upgrades of Mailman 2.x; we believe that will work, but encourage you to make backups and test your migrations first. It is not yet at full feature parity with Mailman 2.x, but we're working on that for 3.1.
Developer resources:
Puppet module to manage/install mailman3 (WIP - Active development in the 'ASF_Developement' branch)
Installation HowTo
Currently the best path for installing the entire Mailman 3 suite at once is Mailman Bundler:
Mailman Bundler setup instructions on ReadTheDocs
If you're installing on Ubuntu, see DEV/Mailman 3.0/Mailman 3.0 Suite Install on Ubuntu for the commands to install the prerequisites.
We do eventually hope to have appropriate packages for some popular distros, so if you prefer packages only, please be patient!
If you want to try Mailman 3 suite out in Docker, you might want to see DEV/Mailman 3.0/Mailman 3.0 Suite Dockerfile. I am still looking for someone to help provide nice instructions on how to use this, including connecting port 8000 inside the container to a port on the outside so that the tutorial can end with "and now go to http://localhost:8000/mailman3 to check out the web interface!"

I can stop admiring this. suriously, you are THE Edward kenway i swear, you look identical!
You would make a perfect Edward for a movie.
Awesome! The photo is perfect!
All I can say is I'm impressed, your care for details is really amazing! I'm a pattern maker and a taylor and my "good eye" can only appreciate your precision. I always dreamed of being a costumer. Is it your job?
nice close-up photo dude... i like it.
I die...so hard.....everytime...when I saw one of your costumes, especially for the AC series!
Amazing work, love it so much!
Amazing work, love it so much!
wow amazingly realistic and detailed costume, and a very nice photo
Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness!! Another triumph for you, sir! You should be in the new Assassin's Creed movie. Love this. I wasn't excited about pirates in AC at first—pirates are beginning to rank up there with vampires and zombies as over-saturated and clichéd. But I've started to come around in the last few days, and THIS completely solidifies it for me. Amazing work!
One must always have the "sexy shot"
Really awesome!! xD
Really awesome!! xD
You look just like him! ...
yet another awesome work!
your face is Edwardliscous ! <3
You look -great- as Edward.
You know, everytime I see your pictures you keep raising the bar on awesome. Keep going and you're going to punch a hole through my roof and you'll hit the stars and beyond. XD
wow wow WOW!! Amazing job on him
Ah God, why are you so perf.
Ha ha, not really... But in terms of cosplay and this particular character I think I did okay
Thank you!
Thank you!
Looks great!
Nice costume, great composition, well done!

Four Web Design Trends to Watch
A website can have the most engaging, relevant, and interesting content. No matter how great a website's content is, users aren't typically agreeable to lime green lettering on a yellow background.
The truth is, a compelling video or exceptional page of content is worthless if users cannot locate or access it properly and poor website design elements, such as complex navigation, poor flow and color choice, or low quality appearance, can negatively impact user experience.
Since the internet is an up-to-the-millisecond platform, so too are the trends that govern it. While some trends are beneficial to adopt, there are others that have their drawbacks.
These are current design trends that will help reinvigorate any business's website:
1. Fixed Navigation
Fixed Navigation is the key to a usable website, particularly content-driven and ecommerce sites. When the navigation bar is fixed, it remains at the top of the viewing area, regardless of how far the user scrolls, allowing the customer to move through pages of significant content and desired products with ease.
2. Mobile Compatibility
Ensuring that a company's website is mobile friendly should be its first priority. What customers demand most in today's market, he says, is convenience. Mobile capabilities allow customers to order online, compare prices, see menus, and garner important contact information from the convenience of a phone or tablet.
3. Quality Icons
Simple line icons adhere to current aesthetic trends and help to advise navigation and call customers to action. A simplistic look that is uncomplicated by imagery will not clutter media-rich websites or compete with other, more cinematic assets on the page, such as sliders, embedded videos, or products.
4. Embedded Videos.
Website videos should be embedded and made part of the design rather than being accessed through a mere link. In fact linking to content is not preferred at all, if it can be incorporated into the site instead.
