JetBlue's New Food Court at JFK: Menus Revealed!
Today New York Magazine's Grub Street food blog slapped up some of the menus from the new food court at JetBlue's Terminal 5, now under construction at JFK. TGI Friday's it ain't.
In July, the New York Times published a piece about the eats planned for the JetBlue terminal, which is tucked behind the landmark TWA terminal designed by Eero Saarinen and is expected to open later this year. According to the Times:
Travelers will have their pick of a number of serious restaurants with respected New York chefs, though not the usual marquee names, as consultants.
Mark Ladner of Del Posto will be responsible for AeroNuova, a rustic Italian trattoria. Michael Schulson, who left Buddakan for Izakaya in Atlantic City, is in charge of the menu for Deep Blue, a sushi and Asian restaurant. Riad Nasr and Lee Hanson, the longtime executive chefs for Balthazar and Pastis, are responsible for a brasserie called La Vie. Alexandra Raij, who was at Tia Pol until May, is creating a tapas menu for Piquillo. And Roberto Santibañez, formerly of Rosa Mexicano restaurants, will oversee the food for Revolución.
Yesterday, Grub Street offered up a glimpse at renderings for these eateries, which run the gamut from high-class Franco-phony at La Vie, to an chill, oceanic vibe at chichi Sushi joint, Deep Blue.
The food sounds good too, according to the Grub Street hacks. I mean, who hasn't trudged toward a gate and thought, "You know what, I could go for, some smoked salmon with crème fraiche and toasted brioche." (It'll be on the menu at La Vie.) But seriously, at 4 p.m. on a Friday, the Kobe beef sliders — which are on the menu at Loft Kitchen & Bar — sound pretty good as does, the pork osso buco at AERONUOVA.
The prices don't seem too bad, although Grub Street warns that they aren't final. For example, an entree of wok-seared Mongolian beef with scallion, ginger and garlic is pegged at $14 at Loft. There are pricier items — a seared hanger steak with waffle fries will cost you $21, according to that menu.
All this sounds very good, but we wonder how JetBlue's much-hyped comforts at its JFK terminal might relate to New York's well-deserved reputation for delays. Should travelers take the airline's investment as a sign that such congestion doesn't look to likely to improve anytime soon?

With the exception of the kobold skeleton from one of the Dungeons & Dragons Miniatures set, small humanoid skeletons are a rare sight in miniature form. This is likely because nobody cares about a small skeleton, which is only slightly less brittle than an already weak normal skeleton. Mr. Bones is here to dispel this myth.
Bones -- that's MISTER BONES to you! -- looks means enough. He holds a shovel in one hand, he points with the other, and a noose dangles from his waist. But his cute lil bony feet stick out from beneath his cloak, and although he's trying to point to his next victim, it's also possible he's picking out a lollipop.
At heart, Mr. Bones is writing checks his bony body probably can't cash. That doesn't make him any less useful if you happen to be facing a 20th-level true necromancer halfling.

Biomedical Engineering
Expand all
Course Overview
Biomedical Engineering is a relatively new branch of engineering that involves the use of cutting-edge technologies to help improve human healthcare. Biomedical engineers are involved in the design and creation of medical devices, implants such as stents, instruments and materials for clinical use. They also apply their engineering skills to problems in human biology and are at the forefront of developments in human medicine in the 21st century, enabling the medicial profession to diagnose and treat disease, and repair or replace damaged living tissue.
This degree programme was developed as a result of the need within the biomedical industry for highly skilled personnel. Locally based biomedical companies, of which there is a significant cluster, were involved in its design. It therefore remains highly relevant to the needs of industry while giving students a full training in engineering design principles and their application to human biology in an interdisciplinary environment. Related, relevant subjects that are covered over the course of the degree programme include biomedical instrumentation, tissue engineering and biomechanics.
If you want an interesting career that involves the application of engineering principles to medicine and biology, this may suit you. Biomedical engineers assist clinicians to analyse and solve problems in biology and medicine, therby helping to sustain or improve life. Both traditional and modern engineering principles and new technology are used. Biomedical engineers are also challenged to ensure that advances in technology keep pace with the advances in medicine and that the diagnostic, life-support or life-enhancing tools they create remain compatible with the human body.

What Our Students Say
David Nolan | Year Three, BE (Biomedical Engineering)
Biomedical Engineering is at the cutting edge of modern technology, making an impact on people's health through designing medical devices. The course here in NUI Galway is challenging but very rewarding, combining elements of traditional engineering with those of medical science. The medical device industry has a huge base in Galway and even now huge investments are being made by the government and medical device companies who have come to Galway because of the biomedical engineering expertise present.

We the undersigned petition to Remove the control of the churches from our education system More detailsSubmitted by Cyril Butler Deadline to sign up by: 2011-06-30 19:26:00 Signatures: 907
An open letter to the Irish Equality Authority and Minister for Education; We call on you to implement essential changes in relation to the teaching and practice of religion at both primary and post primary school level. We also urge you to radically overhaul the teacher training college management structures to respect the freedom of conscience of our future teachers, who do not wish to learn or teach what they do not believe themselves. Hypocrisy should not be a prerequisite for a career as a teacher in our primary schools. Article 44 of our constitution explicitly declares that the State guarantees not to endow any religion. It also declares that the State shall not impose any disabilities or make any discrimination on the grounds of religious profession, belief or status. Yet the vast majority of schools in our country are owned and managed by the Catholic Church and are governed by Catholic ethos. Our primary school structures, with the exception of the Educate Together model, are in flagrant breach of our constitution and infringe upon the human rights of students, their parents and teachers alike. Further to this, it falls drastically short of the expectations of the vast majority of the Irish people, who do not wish for our schools to remain under Catholic or any other denominational control. We believe our current educational establishment renders it impossible to comply with the religious aspirations of those who hold minority religions and parents who wish to have their children taught in an environment free from religious indoctrination. The current patronage system would require several different schools to serve the diverse wishes of the people of Ireland in 2010. With many rural villages scattered around the country hosting only one Catholic school, it is clear that there is only one possible solution in the short to medium term; that being the abandonment of the teaching of denominational religious instruction in all schools that are in receipt of public funding. Preparation of students for religious Sacraments during school times yet again violates the rights of non-Christians and Atheists and is socially divisive on children. Further to this, it consumes precious teaching time. Such activities should be undertaken outside of school hours at no cost to the taxpayer. This should be undertaken as an absolute minimum. We believe the vast majority of the Irish people do not wish to maintain the present voluntary boards of management for a variety of other reasons as well as religious concerns. Such reasons may include fear of litigation etc. We understand that the transfer of schools from denominational boards of management to the control of the State will not be achieved in the short term, which is why we petition you to enact the necessary legislation to remove all teaching and references to denominational religious doctrine and religious paraphernalia from all public funded schools at the earliest possible date. Such religious classes should be replaced with a syllabus designed to teach children equally about all the religions of the world, as well as an equal allocation of time to the arguments for Atheism and Humanism as is successfully accomplished by the Educate Together model. This will not only be consistent with the constitutional and human rights of students, parents and teachers, but will also ensure our future generations gain cultural knowledge instead of religious indoctrination as well as instilling the virtues of critical thinking in the nation's future leaders. Previous governments have failed to take the necessary action on these matters. The current system of providing government funding to schools whose boards of management have differing ethos should not detract from the government's responsibility to respect the rights of all its citizens with regard to educational policy. The claim that the government cannot interfere in the running of schools under boards of management should not be an excuse for lack of reform. If there are constitutional difficulties, these should be dealt with by a referendum to the people if necessary. The detailed study undertaken by the Irish Primary Principals Network, in association with the RedC poll, is one of the most comprehensive studies undertaken in recent times in relation to religion and primary education in Ireland. The poll covered approximately 25% of school principals and revealed that 72% of parents wanted primary schools to be taken over by the State with equal time devoted to teaching the tenets of all religions. 66% of principals wanted the same. Parents and teachers reported that there is a reluctance of parents and teachers to participate in the preparation for religious sacraments, with many just turning up on the day. All of this indicates the necessity for action. We do not wish to place restrictions on religious practice but rather this should be excluded from the classroom. Parents who genuinely wish to pass on their faith to their children could show their appreciation of it by taking the time to conduct their religious instruction outside school hours. This would teach their children the important virtues of pluralism and diversity. The same standards should apply to secondary schools. The Religious Education programme, while reaching beyond the Christian spectrum does not go far enough in placing equal emphasis on the world's other major religions and only requires its students to acknowledge those who take a secular approach to life, as opposed to teaching the arguments for and benefits of secular, Humanist and Atheist philosophies. This again falls far short of what should be expected in a modern and vibrant country in the twenty first century. This problem should not be left for another generation to resolve.

Comments about 2% BHA Gel - 3.3 oz:
I love this product! I have combination skin and have always struggled with my pores. I first tried the 2% BHA liquid exfoliant and saw no difference in my skin. The gel made a difference immediately. Although it is a bit tacky at first, I find that the stickiness fades after about 20 minutes and once I follow up with my spf moisturizer.

Too greasy - shining on the face
By Denis O.
I am 32 yo male with oily skin. Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Gel Exfoliant make my face greasy and shiny. I am moving back to Skin Perfecting 1% BHA Lotion Exfoliant - that's really super-light, matte finish - what I need.

Works but doesn't absorb well
By Denise
I'm 53 and it's depressing to see my pores getting larger by the year. Fortunately, there is no question this product does help shrink pores. I used it faithfully every day and after about 2 or 3 weeks, I could see it working. My issue is the very strange texture. It's a gel, which I wouldn't mind, but it never really sinks in. It just sits on top of the skin and makes it very shiny. I find that I have to now use lots of face powder to cover up the shine. Wish I had bought the liquid.

Not too sticky
By Daniel C.
From reading the reviews I worried that the gel would be very sicky/tacky . However the gel is only slightly tackier than the 8% AHA gel. I do not find the consistency off putting and it absorbs into my skin completely in just a bit more time than the lotion did. If you are happy with the AHA gel consistency, you'll likely be happy with the BHA's.Overall I'm very happy with purchase, Ill give it some time and see how my skin compares to when I was using the lotion.
``Miracle Worker``
This stuff is awesome. It has the best texture---you barely need anything to cover your entire face and neck (way better than the Pore-Refining Treatment BHA in which you get less product and spend a good amount of it on a cotton ball or pad). The thing that really took me aback about this product is the fact that it totally smoothed out the uneven skin above my eyelid---it is the only product that has been able to do that. Wow!
(0 of 2 customers found this review helpful)
By Tracy C.
This product is a gel in name only. It is more of a viscous liquid and feels almost oily when applied to my skin. As other reviewers have mentioned, it is very sticky, and doesn't absorb into the skin even after a significant amount of time. This is okay for me because I'm using it on my back before I go to bed, but I would never put it on my face in the morning. I don't have any complaints about its efficacy, but I would skip this one in favor of the liquid if you possibly can.

Skin looks better but skin feels tacky after apply gel
By Joanne R.
My skin looks better after using this product. One thing I'm not a huge fan of is the tackiness my skin feels after applying it. I would prefer something that dries faster.
Customer Service Response: Hello, and thanks for sharing your experience with us! You might want to try out our Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid, which dries much faster.
Seems to have made my skin worse
By JOANNE R.
I have been using this product for over a month. Previously I was using one of the liquids. I don't know what it is, but since I started using it, I have had more blemishes than I have had in years. I'm 54 so I should not be experiencing this almost every week. Very strange - I am going to stop using it.

Favorite skin care product
By melissa
I have very combination acne prone skin and Nothing makes as much of a difference in my overall skin appearance than this product. Highly recommend it. This combined with a PC toner has worked magic for my skin. The samples are super cheap also so why not give it a try?
Doesn't work on me
By Kim
I had used it about 3 weeks, it dryed out my skin, and made my skin looked horrible. Last time when I used it, my face got ichy and I had to wash it off. So bad now I have a full of bottle and I don't want to use.

Highly recommend!
By Erin N.
I decided to write a review since it was the reviews of this product that helped me decide which of Paula's products to order.I have oily, sensitive skin along with rosacea. I also tend to have slightly rough texture.I have been using this product for several weeks now and I am hooked. I have gotten compliments at work saying I look like I am glowing. My skin definitely feels smoother and looks more even. You can definitely expect a fresher appearance and glowing skin. I highly recommend.
pretty good
By Cecilia S.
I've been using this at night with pure organic unrefined shea butter as my moisturizer at night and my husband told me my skin looks really bright. I also use african black soap as my cleanser. So good job PC
Not convinced
By Ariana B.
Not happy. I use to be about 97% clear. Now I have cystic acne around my mouth and on my cheeks that won't go away. I know the PC gel is to blame because my breakouts happened within a day of using it. Now I have this full bottle of the gel I don't want to use. I'm so unhappy :(
Excellent exfoliation - plus extra goodies!
By Becca B.
An excellent exfoliant without damaging ingredients that often accompany BHA products (menthol, alcohol,etc.). PLUS it has some other antioxidant goodies packed in to make your skin extra happy. I've had clogged, sad pores for the longest time and Never thought BHA was appropriate for me (I associated salycillic acid with my teenage acne years, and I am definitely not a teen anymore!) Glad I wised up and gave this a try.
Gel vs Liquid
By BRANDIE D.
I love this product, started with the liquid and have stayed loyal to that format. I wanted to try something that didn't need to "dry" and purchased the gel. Fantastic so if you're thinking of testing this compared to the liquid you should. I do still use the liquid particularly if I'm in the city because I find with a cotton pad it exfoliates but removes all the dirt that is left behind after using Cetaphil.
By Miranda P
I'm a 16 year old girl that likes to wear makeup, my face began to break out with closed comedones when I started wearing makeup and I hated the way it made my face feel and look. I looked around and decided to buy this and I'm so happy I did!! I added this to my existing skin care routine, consisting of a drugstore cleanser, toner, and moisterizer; This stuff is very worth the price! My skin is now soft and smooth, but beware it can make already oily skin a bit more oily. Overall great product!
Really works
By MimiO
After using this product for a few months, I have noticed a visible change (for the better!) in the blackheads on my nose. The product was easy to integrate into my evening skin care routine: I put it on, brush my teeth while it dries, then continue with serum and moisturizer.
Took awhile to work but fixed everything.
By Colleen W.
After 4 months of using this product I feel like I can finally write a review. The first 2 months of using this I had to keep going back and forth with myself on whether I should quit it or not. My face wasn't the worst it has ever been but it was bad. When I first started using this the only problems I had with my skin was a lot of redness and uneven skin tone. Now my skin tone is finally where I want it to be! NO more redness. no bumps. I prefer the gel over the liquid for my sensitive skin.
Like the Liquid Over the Gel
By Sarah
The BHA 2% gel works just as well as the 2% BHA liquid for me but I prefer the texture of the liquid better. I tried the gel thinking it would be easier to apply and it is but the liquid seems to "soak" into my skin faster and in the mornings. I am a working mom and trying to get husband, kids, and myself all out the door in the morning, I appreciate the quick "drying" of the BHA liquid. Either way PC's BHA products are the best. They leave my skin feeling soft, bright and breakout free.
This is a game changer.
I've always had at least 2 blemishes on my face at any given time since I was 20 (now 44). Always. Important events, vacations, wedding, anniversaries, holidays-you name it- always 2 pimples. Three months ago, I tried this and after a couple weeks, I had none. None. It's shocking to me. I have oily skin and use it twice a day. God help me, I will never be without it again. It is a little tacky when on, but not noticeable under sunscreen or moisturizer.
By Hollie K
I had high hopes for this product, but was once again let down. I have very oily, acne prone skin and have tried what seems like everything on the market to clear my acne, you'd think at 37 I would have this problem, but i do. I got a sample of this and loved it, but after buying it and using it for several weeks my skin is worse than ever. Back to the drawing board I go. I'm out 26 bucks and my skin is still horrible.
Customer Service Response: Thanks for your review! First, our products are sold with a money-back guarantee, so be sure to contact us for a refund! We'd also be happy to discuss your current situation and suggest alternate products you may wish to try. Sometimes those new to using a BHA exfoliant can experience a temporary worsening of breakouts, often referred to as "purging". That may be what's happening in your case.
Ill use the rest of it
By Lacy B.
When I ordered the sample, I knew I had to get a bottle. The first week my skin felt brand new, with an even tone and smooth texture. Now that it has been two months into using the product, and I am acclimated to my improved skin I am still waiting for the blackheads to diminish even after using twice daily. I feel like I may want to bump it up to the 5%, and still have about half a bottle left.
love it
A little hx I've been using retin a for about 6 mths and believe it or not my skin looked horrible. It was extremely oily and I still had lil bumps under my skin plus I was still breaking out. So I started using this and clinique emergency acne solution 5% bp about 2wks ago and mt skin looks great. Thx pc!
Wouldn't go without it
I only began liking this product when using other PC products (a good cleanser and a BP product after). It made my skin too shiny and oily at first - when mixing with other proper products, I wouldn't go without this! I tried going without it and definitely noticed more breakouts - it's now an essential part of my skincare routine, twice a day. Let it dry after applying before putting on BP.
Sticky, but does its job
By Emily E.
Purchased this because I felt that I went through the liquid version too quckly, and that product was wasted on a cotton ball.The gel version is very sticky and tacky feeling. I use it at night so it's not really a problem for me. The bottle lasts a long time. The pores on my nose are smaller. I stopped use for a week and could feel the buildup on my skin.

Be the first to ask us a question about this product.
What makes this product unique?Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Gel Exfoliant is a water-based formula that exfoliates both the skin's surface and inside the pore, reshaping the pore lining to unclog pores and improve skin cell turnover rate. This creates a dramatic improvement in the skin's appearance, feel, and function especially for blemish-prone skin. There is a great deal of research indicating that BHA (beta hydroxy acid) increases collagen production and drastically smooths the surface of skin. Additionally, BHA has anti-bacterial properties that attack blemish-causing bacteria.
This product is 100% fragrance- and colorant-free with a pH range of 3.2-3.8. Every Paula's Choice BHA product is formulated with additional soothing agents.
Who is this product for?All skin types may use this product, but the texture is especially suited for those with normal to very oily skin prone to blemishes.
NOTE: Those allergic to aspirin (acetylsalicylate) should not use products containing salicylic acid (beta hydroxy acid).

What's the difference between AHA and BHA Exfoliants? Do I need both?
When properly formulated, both AHAs and BHA are brilliant options for exfoliating the surface of skin. Both AHA and BHA work to reduce wrinkles, stimulate collagen, and firm skin but each has its special qualities you'll want to consider when deciding which one to use:
If your skin is sun-damaged and you're also struggling with acne or clogged pores, add a BHA product to your routine.
If you'd like to use an AHA and BHA at the same time, that is an option, though not really necessary. Some people find they work well when they're applied at the same time, but if you want to give this a try it is best to apply them separately, one during the day and one in the evening.
How do I use an AHA or BHA exfoliant?
Your AHA (glycolic acid) products have a higher percentage than your BHA (salicylic acid) products. Does this mean AHA is a stronger exfoliant?
How does Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Gel Exfoliant compare to the Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant?
I currently use Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Lotion Exfoliant. Should I switch to the Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Gel Exfoliant? Is it all right to use both?
I have tried Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Lotion Exfoliant and Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant and did not care for the texture. Will the Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Gel Exfoliant work for me?
At what point after my laser and/or peel procedure can I begin using my BHA exfoliant again?

Dr. Joe Priest, Ed.D.
My research efforts involve students, faculty, and outside agencies. My primary objective is to engage undergraduate students in identifying problems, developing plans and procedures, collecting data and analyzing data. Our collaboration involves faculty from the Department of Kinesiology, faculty from other departments at Tarleton State University, as well as outside agencies. This collaboration has resulted in 28 peer-reviewed publications and 40 student-led presentations at state and national conferences. Most of our research activities investigate effective methods of measuring and improving health and motor performance in individuals with and without impaired motor abilities. In classroom and laboratory studies, students are prepared to enter professional careers in health, fitness, rehabilitation, as well as cardiac care.
Service areas include: Director of the Wellness and Motor Behavior Laboratory. The Wellness and Motor Behavior Laboratory is a supervised physical training facility provided for students and community with special needs.
Dr. Jennifer Blevins-McNaughton, Ph.D.
My primary research interest is in evaluating exercise testing and prescription outcomes in chronic disease and in occupational settings. Presentations and publications I have published in this area have focused on determining: the extent to which exercise cardiorespiratory variables may be altered in those with obstructive sleep apnea; the effects of weight loss on obstructive sleep apnea risk; and how minor changes in programming may improve occupational health outcomes in service professions. I have extensive experience training and mentoring both undergraduate and graduate students on various research projects, as well as serving as a committee chair and member on graduate thesis projects. I have served as a director of two successful clinical stress testing and fitness labs in which undergraduate and graduate students were responsible for administering clinical stress tests, health and fitness tests and prescribing exercise for local fire and police departments. My goal is to create this type of environment a reality at Tarleton. I have made several commitments with local health care professionals from the community in order to establish just such a lab at Tarleton. I have served as faculty sponsor for exercise science clubs, graduate program coordinator, internship coordinator, as well as on three nationally recognized ACSM certifications including the ACSM Registered Clinical Exercise Physiologist®, ACSM Certified Clinical Exercise Specialist®, and the ACSM Program Director. I am currently training students in the Department of Kinesiology to obtain the ACSM Health Fitness Specialist® Certification. My most recent grants and contracts have examined the effect of exercise training and weight loss on obstructive sleep apnea risk.
Dr. Joe Gillespie, Ed.D.
My primary research and service interests lie in the area of youth fitness.

Rocking the Runway
Lindsey Wixson debuted during the Spring 2010 Cynthia Steffe fashion show at New York Fashion Week. That same season, at Milan Fashion Week, she opened the Prada show as an exclusive, making her one of the most talked about newcomers of the year. The young American model also closed the Miu Miu fashion show in Paris, again as an exclusive.
During the Fall 2010 season, Wixson continued her collaboration with Miu Miu and was chosen to open the brand's fashion show in Paris. She also closed the Missoni and Sophia Kokosalaki fashion shows.
The following seasons were very successful for Lindsey Wixson. She opened and closed some very prestigious fashion shows in Milan, Paris and New York. Her resume now includes Versace, Jean Paul Gaultier, Chanel, Christian Dior Couture, Missoni, Moschino and many others.
Cover Girl
Though Wixson's first step in the fashion industry was posing for Steven Meisel, she had to work hard before she got her first fashion magazine cover. In 2010, she was chosen to be on the cover of i-D magazine's cover, photographed by Emma Summerton.
In 2011, the young model landed on four fashion magazine covers with three of them photographed by fashion photographer Terry Richardson. Those covers were pre-fall i-D magazine, Purple magazine and the Winter edition of V magazine. On her 4th magazine cover, Wixson posed for Will Davidson during a shoot for Muse.
Fashion Forward
Lindsey Wixson continues to aim high and if her dreams come true, she will retire from modeling, and become a pilot. Until then, Wixson remains one of the most successful models on and off the catwalk. Her gapped front teeth and "bee-stung lips" have become her most recognizable trademarks. She has already reached her peak as a professional model and still continues to enrapture us all.

It's Pür Love for Women of Color
Thursday, November 11, 2010 | Things We Love, Tips & How-Tos, customer profiles, customer Q&A, product highlights
On Friday, November 5, 2010, Pür Minerals hit the streets of Atlanta to find out what real African American women expect from their makeup.
With women ranging in age from 18 to 54 years, we found that the two most important things are A) the natural look, and B) a foundation that matches their skin tone. Luckily, we were able to prove the pür case in 60 seconds or less. These women were astounded at the results! We were even able to interview a few of the fellas, who told us that they like their women to look natural. For women alike, the choice is a snap. Choose beauty—pür and simple.

College Hockey:Brown Returns to Augsburg as Assistant Coach
MINNEAPOLIS — Chris Brown, who served as an assistant coach for the Augsburg College men's hockey team in the 1996-97 season, will return to Augsburg as men's athletic equipment supervisor and men's hockey assistant coach.
Brown was head coach at Marian College for four seasons, 2000-2004, compiling a 65-36-7 record, and was head coach for the Hamline University men's hockey team in the 2004-05 season, compiling a 4-20-1 record.
Brown was an assistant coach for the Auggies during Mike Schwartz's first season as head coach at Augsburg. He also served as the college's sports information director during the 1996-97 school year.
"It's great to be able to get a person of Chris' caliber to come back and be a part of our program," Schwartz said. "It's great for our players."
Brown will replace Augsburg alumnus Brad Schwartzbauer in the assistant coach and men's athletic equipment supervisor positions. Schwartzbauer served in the positions for the 2004-05 school year.
Brown played collegiate hockey at the Wisconsin-River Falls, where he was a captain of the Falcons' 1993-94 NCAA Division III national championship team. He scored 43 goals and had 57 assists for his 100 points in his 115-game collegiate career, earning NCHA All-Academic honors twice. He also played two seasons of junior hockey in the U.S. Hockey Association in Waterloo, Iowa., prior to playing at Wisconsin-River Falls.
Brown left Augsburg in 1997 to serve as an assistant coach at Alaska-Anchorage of the WCHA, which was led at the time by his former River Falls coach, Dean Talafous. He coordinated all recruiting efforts for the Seawolves during his three-season tenure there.
In 2000, Brown took over as head coach for Marian. The Sabres won MCHA regular-season titles in 2001- 02 and 2003-04, while winning postseason conference tournament titles in 2000- 01 and 2001-02. He compiled a 65-36-7 record at Marian, including a 51-8-3 league record and a conference-record 27-game winning streak. His 2001-02 Sabres squad went 16-0-0 to become the first MCHA team to ever claim an unbeaten league season. He earned MCHA Coach of the Year honors in 2001-02 and 2003-04, and was a finalist for the American Hockey Coaches Association's Division III National Coach of the Year award three times.
Brown also served as men's golf head coach at Marian.
Brown earned his bachelor's degree in journalism with an economics minor from Wisconsin-River Falls in 1994, and earned a master's degree in organizational leadership and quality from Marian. He also served as a sports editor and reporter for the Hastings (Minn.) Star-Gazette newspaper prior to starting his coaching career.
Brown is a member of the NCAA Division III Men's Ice Hockey committee.

Hierarchical navigation is the most frequently used type of website visitor routing on the internet due to it's flexability and efficiency. The goal of any hierarchical website navigation system is to provide an efficient means of simplifying user interaction. Remember, it is enhancing your visitor's satisfaction that you are aiming for and hierarchical navigation models can provide a means to that end.
A good example of hierarchical navigation is a sitemap. Proper sitemap construction insures that the links are arranged into a concise pattern by the webmaster and that they are easily accessible by the visitor. Any page on your website should be able to be called up easily, with a minimum of clicks.
The hierarchical method of website navigation is often employed by the use of multiple drop-down menus. Each of the main website sections are displayed on a webpage as a link. Then by clicking on the links the subsections and/or databases become visible via a drop-down menu.

I've been pondering a quote from Aristotle via the Playwrights Guild of Canada as I tear down and rebuild NOT's dramatic engine:
"If you string together a set of speeches expressive of character, and well finished in point and diction and thought, you will not produce the essential tragic effect nearly so well as with a play which, however deficient in these respects, yet has a plot and artistically constructed incidents." -Aristotle, Poetics
The balancing of Aristotle's elements and the achievement of the essential tragic (or in my case, comedic) effect will happily occupy me for the rest of my days. In the early drafting stage, my characters tend to sit around metaphorically, having coffee and rubbing the sleep from their eyes - not the most stirring of scenarios. It's up to me to clap my hands and get them up on their feet so they're actually doing something. And when my brain and Internet Explorer (remember, the wifi ain't spry) both start spinning their wheels, I just pack it in and go for a bike ride.

The fight over rising property values and the amount of tax property owners pay on their land took a new turn this week.
Two local businessmen, Charles Hilton and Charles Faircloth, are forming a "TaxWatch" group, in hopes of shedding some light on the tax issue.
Like any other local businessmen they say they would like to see the Bay County enjoy economic prosperity.
But to accomplish that goal, Hilton says county government needs to find the right property tax balance.
"The county has the joystick they can regulate up and down depending on what property appraiser gives them."
Hilton is the former president of the statewide group called Florida Tax Watch. He's calling for the county to keep tax increases at bay.
"The only way to make government more efficient is to give it less money. And I'm a firm believe in that and I have fought on several occasions to keep taxes down as much as we could."
Hilton says the responsibility of compensating for inflated property value lies with the county commission.
"The law says when there is an increase in values then there is an evaluation by property appraiser, then the county commission is required to roll back the millage so the revenue the government got last year is the same as this next year and if they don't the law says it's a tax increase."
Hilton says according to the Property Appraiser's Office, a rollback of 1.7 mils would be necessary this year to maintain revenue even with last year.
Bay TaxWatch is a local group designed to inform the public about local tax entities. They'll use a similar format to the existing state TaxWatch program.
"We want rank and file, cross sections on economy. It's not rich or poor this everyone is affected."
While Hilton is aware of the county's existing debt and commitment to several large capital improvement projects, he says it may be appropriate for the county to reconsider its priorities.
"Maybe we don't need to create debt for county admin building or library. Real property is one of the last store values that the average individual can look forward to of making of his retirement but if you're going to tax it to the point you can't hold on to it then it's inappropriate and it's not necessary."
If you'd like to know more about Bay TaxWatch, log onto their website at www.baytaxwatch.com. The web site will be active by Friday.

I have one domain name with MX Record all pointing to a single public IP. However, I have different servers which all should use the same domain on different public IPs. Since all of the traffic to my domain comes on a single IP, I want to forward some of it (based on port) to the other IPs. My services include email server, SIP server, apache, etc. I am using Ubuntu 10 server edition on all machines.
I guess I will need to set up some kind of proxy/firewall to do this. I also think that I will need to keep the originating IPs of the clients which access those services, so the router will need to rewrite the IP addresses in both directions so that my clients all use the same IP and all is transparant to them.
What kind of setup can you recommend me for this thing? Do I need a proxy server/firewall like iptables or there is another way.
All best, Angel

A Vase of Goodies by AniqueDesignsWatch
©2009-2016 AniqueDesigns
For some reason this piece reminds me of a vase filled with treasure, as if I scooped up a piece of the life from the bottom of the ocean. The ocean is represented by the sparkle of the gem quality blue topaz teardrop that dangles amongst pale green prehnite, apatite and pearls. This exquisite center piece measures 40mm in width and 60mm in length and hangs from a simple strand of sterling silver beads. The over all length of the chain is 16" adjustable to 18 1/2".

When more than 15 tornados roared through north Texas on April 3, Arlington was one of the cities hit hard, with hundreds of houses damaged or destroyed. While homes can be rebuilt, and replacement clothes, furniture, and other items can be purchased, one thing that can't be replaced is photographs. The memory may still be alive, but the image of that moment in time can't be recreated.
The Arlington Public Library has come up with a way to help people who may have lost precious photographs to the unpredictable and devastating winds of those tornadoes: three branches, each located close to or within the hardest hit areas of the city, will be accepting found photographs, cleaning them, and making them available for reclamation.
If you've found photographs—whether directly in tornado debris, or even on the outskirts of the affected areas—you can take them to one of these participating library branches, with the hope of reuniting them with their owners:
- LakeArlington, 4000 W. Green Oaks Blvd., 817-478-3762
- Southwest, 3311 S.W. Green Oaks Blvd. 817-459-6386
- Woodland West, 2837 W. Park Row Dr., 817-277-5265
If you were directly affected by the tornadoes, and photographs were among the thing you lost, you'll be able to go to one of the libraries participating in the collection, and hopefully identify and reclaim the pictures. You'll have to visit all three branches, and you may have to visit more than once, as more photos are discovered and turned in to the library.
Photographs may be dropped off, or searched, at the branches during regular library hours, Monday through Thursday 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday and Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
This is a service from the heart—giving even a small measure of "normalcy" to people who have suffered a tremendous loss. The library is about more than just books, it's a vital member of the community.

In 1963, the three independent service ministries (Admiralty, War Office
and Air Ministry) were merged to form the present MoD.
The UK MoD is the government department that is responsible for all
defence related aspects of national policy. This large organisation, which
directly affects the lives of about half a million servicemen, reservists
and MoD employed civilians, is controlled by The Secretary of State for
Defence and his deputies.
The Secretary of State for Defence has three principal deputies:
Minister of State for the Armed Forces
Minister of State for International Defence
and Security
Under-Secretary of State for
Defence Equipment and Support
Under Secretary of State for Defence and
Minister for Veterans
The Secretary of State is assisted by two
principal advisers:
Permanent Under Secretary of State (PUS): The PUS is responsible
for policy, finance and administration in the MoD. As the MoD's Principal
Accounting Officer he is personally responsible to Parliament for the
expenditure of all public money voted to the MoD for Defence purposes.
Chief of the Defence Staff (CDS): The CDS acts as the professional
head of the Armed Forces and he is the principal military adviser to the
Secretary of State and to the Government.
Both the PUS and the CDS have deputies; the Second Permanent Under
Secretary of State (2nd PUS), and the Vice Chief of the Defence Staff (VCDS).
In general terms defence is managed through a number of major committees
that provide corporate leadership and strategic direction:
Defence Council
Defence Boards
Single Service Boards
Defence Board
Chiefs of Staff Committee
The Defence Council is the senior committee which provides the legal basis
for the conduct and administration of defence and this council is chaired
by the Secretary of State for Defence, The composition of the Defence
Council is as follows:
The Secretary of State for Defence
Minister of State for the Armed Forces
Minister of State for Defence and Security
Under-Secretary of State for Defence Equipment and Support
Under Secretary of State for Defence and Minister for Vetaerans
Permanent Secretary
Chief of the Defence Staff
Vice Chief of the Defence Staff
Chief of the Naval Staff and First Sea Lord
Chief of the Air Staff
Chief of the General Staff
Chief of Defence Materiel
Chief Scientific Adviser
Finance Director
Second Permanent Under Secretary of State for Defence
There are three single service boards: Admiralty Board, Army Board and the
Air Force Board all of which are chaired by the Secretary of State for
Defence. In general the purpose of the boards is the administration and
monitoring of single service performance. Each of these three boards has
an executive committee chaired by the single service chief of staff; Navy
Board, Executive Committee of the Army Board and the Air Force Board
Standing Committee.
This board is chaired by the PUS and is the MoD's senior non-ministerial
committee. In essence the Defence Board is the MoD's main
corporate board providing senior leadership and direction to the
implementation of defence policy.
This committee is chaired by the CDS and is the MoD's senior committee
that provides advice on operational military matters and the preparation
and conduct of military operations.
The Chief of the Defence Staff (CDS) is the officer responsible to the
Secretary of State for Defence for the coordinated effort of all three
fighting services. He has his own Central Staff Organisation and a Vice
Chief of the Defence Staff who ranks as number four in the services
hierarchy, following the three single service commanders. The current
Chief of the Defence Staff is:
General Sir David Richards
General Sir David Richards was born in 1952 and educated
at Eastbourne College, He was commissioned into the Royal Artillery in
1971 prior to studying international relations at University College

tours in Northern Ireland.
After attending the Staff College in 1984, he returned to 11th Armoured
Brigade to command a field battery in 47th Field Regiment. From there he
spent two years in Berlin as the Chief of Staff of the Berlin Infantry
Brigade. Promoted to Lieutenant Colonel, he spent the next three years
as an instructor at the Staff College, Camberley, before being appointed
to command 3rd Regiment Royal Horse Artillery. This period included
another operational tour in Northern Ireland.
In 1994 he was promoted and appointed Colonel Army Plans in the MOD,
responsible for the shape and size of the Army. Promoted to Brigadier in
1996, and after attending the Higher Command and Staff course, he became
Commander 4th Armoured Brigade in Germany. In 1998 he was posted to the
Permanent Joint Headquarters as Chief Joint Force Operations, the UK's
default one star commander for short notice expeditionary operations. In
this role he was involved in a number of operations, including
commanding the UK Contingent in East Timor in 1999, and commanding a UK
Joint Task Force in Sierra Leone in 2000.
Promoted to Major General, he was appointed Chief of Staff of the Allied
Rapid Reaction Corps in April 2001 before becoming Assistant Chief of
the General Staff in September 2002. He assumed the appointment of
Commander Allied Rapid Reaction Corps in January 2005, in which role he
served as Commander of the International Stabilisation and Assistance
Force Afghanistan between May 2006 and February 2007.
On completion of NATO/ISAF expansion across the whole of Afghanistan in
October 2006, he was promoted to General for the remainder of his time
in Afghanistan. His operational awards include a Mention in Despatches,

Azalea continues to remain in and around the Norfolk Botanical Garden. She continues to fed at the nest by her parents. It is not unusual for young bald eagles to remain associated with their parents for some time after fledging.
One of the regular eagle photographers captured an amazing sequence of photos on Aug. 7th. The male adult passed a fish ( a gizzard shad) to Azalea in flight. Azalea seemed somewhat unsure of what to do with the fish...but eventually took it and flew off. The adult may have been trying to help instill some hunting skills in the young female - by showing her how talons can be used! Check out the rest of the series at www.pbase.com/shellyva

Really Confused...

I just don't know what to do anymore... I've searched everywhere on the web to try and find out "where I'm at"... if my level of self injury is bad or not... It's just like I "don't get it"?! It has become such a habit that I just do it... watch it... clean it... and then life just goes on like it never happened! It's like I completely disconnect from myself and like I don't always register if it's bad or not. I started taking pictures cause in a weird way when I see the wounds on myself, it's never big enough.. but when I see it on a picture, then only do I register that it's acutally bad. There is one friend in my day to day life who is aware of the self injury and another on the other side of the world... and both of them are worried... and I don't seem to get why they are worried to the extent that they are?! Let me just make it clear that I do not want to do this... I hate cutting... but I just keep on doing it... So my friend doesn't know what to say and do anymore and it just makes me feel even more helpless. I'm not at a place where I'm ready for counceling due to past insidences where confidentiality was bridged... and I can't afford any of this to come out now. I'm just confused as to what qualifies as bad or not?! And like how do I help my friend not to lose hope...? How do I get it through to her that if she loses hope... it makes it so much easier for me to do the same! I just want to stop... but the more I try... the more I mess up... but never serious! It's just confusing... you want people to care... but not worry! Am I wrong not being ready for counceling?

im sorry you've had a rough couple of days. Hopefully it gets better for you soon. i know the fear of someone finding out that you cut, but the sugar level thing is serious. Please don't dismiss it because of fear of getting caught. Take good care of yourself :-) I'll be thinking about you. And if you need me, im here to talk. Shoot me a message any time.

Hey Louann521,
Thanks..I'll do that.. :-) I just need you to be honest with me if I say things that make things difficult for you..cause I really don't want to do that.
Do you think the sugar thing and the cutting can be related? I think it's maybe just my body screaming for me to take it easy.. It's never been as bad as yesterday..and I'll admit that I got a fright.. But I promise I'll be careful.. X
Stay strong you hey!

Hey msfraggle
Nice of you to pop in and find out how we're doing! Thanks! I'm glad to hear that you're doing good!
Things have been a bit hectic on my side... it's just been a difficult weekend. From Friday with the episode at gym to just having a bit of a hard time fighting this thing... so it's been difficult...
How's things your hubby now? Being busy is sometimes a good thing! :-)
Take care both of you and I hope to talk to you soon! Be strong hey... xxx

Lene & msfraggle,
glad to hear your doing good msfraggle and keeping busy. That always helps.
my weekend was pretty rough. I did good fighting considering i didnt get to see my boyfriend all weekend cause he had his kids and my dad being in the hospital. Last night i slipped :-( I saw my sister, let me give you a little background on this....
my sister let her boyfriend/husband/baby daddy sexually harass me for years. trying to pull down my shirt. look down my pants. fallow me to the bathroom, and video tape me and try to catch these thing on camera while i was drunk at there house. The night i was raped by him she left me alone in the living room with him and went to bed while we watched a movie. Once everything came out a year later she told me on multiple occasions that she didnt believe me about what happened. And she went back to him 3 or 4 times. They had a very messed up relationship. So seeing her triggered flashbacks that were very unwelcome. i broke down and cut after i put my kids to bed. I talked to my boyfriend and he made me feel a lot better. He said he new what i was going thru and that he wasnt mad at me for cutting because he knows how good ive been doing. I felt awful tho, i know in a way i let him and myself down. But at the same time it was so relieving to let it go and not fight anymore. And honestly i felt so much better after doing it. But guilty at the same time. i hate that constant battle i have now being right and wrong on the subject. Im determined to keep fighting it, even tho my set back felt so good. I do think the anti depressants are helping tho. i can tell that im much calmer with my kids, and more patient. The little things dont upset as badly anymore. But when i do get upset it like im only upset on the inside and numb on the outside unable to show or express my emotion. and that's a little frustrating. The valum is helping me sleep, the nightmares still come but im able to get back to sleep easier and i feel much more rested in the morning.
well the kids are done with breakfast, gotta get busy. ill talk to you all soon
stay strong and hope your doing well...HUGS

Lets see...to answer your question lene about how things are with my husband...ok, i guess. After the other day (Idk if I posted on here about it or justa msg to louann) I decided to not talk to him about it anymore. Just a quick recap incase I didn't mention it already...I tried to talk to him a 2nd time and he blamed me talking to you two for the reason i cut. He said I think about it more than i used to and its only been since i joined this site. I tried to explain to him, but we just ended up arguing so I am not talking to him about it any more.
I have been doing really well. Not a single urge saturday or sunday. I've been super busy though. Working then once I get home Ive got lots to do. It was also nice that me and my best friend started talking again yesterday after our argument/disagreement on thursday when he didn't come over. So things seem to be going well. I have a busy day ahead of me today too. Sometimes I think its good and sometimes its over whelming.
Ya know, I almost feel guilty telling you I'm doing good and haven't had the urge in a couple of days and I've been clean for...uh...9days i think. (lost track :/) I really do feel kinda bad...
I'm so sorry to hear you slipped up, but I can understand why with your past. No one can blame you for that. We all slip up some time. As long as you get back up and keep trying thats all that matters. Also with you saying you don't think the anti depressants are working...they usually take a few weeks to regulate your system. The brain takes time to adjust and the chemicals in your brain will begin to level out, it just takes time. I was already thinking of looking up the one your taking and seeing what I could find. I have different books from past classes that may help shed some light on it so I can try to help you understand how it all works better...if thats ok?!
Well, like I said I've got a million things to do so I better get to it!! Talk to ya'll soon and stay strong :)

hey msfraggle, i meant to say that i think they ARE working, sorry for the confusion. Not a lot yet but some. And i know they take time to get in your system, but the dr wasnt real clear on how long. some r 30 days some 3 some a week or two. I know cause my ex went thru a ton of diff meds. But of course if you would like to look it up and help me out a bit on this that woulds be great! Thanks Glad to hear your still going strong. Keep up the good work! And dont feel bad about being proud of yourself. Im proud of you too! One slip up may set me back and make me feel like shit but im determined to get back up and start over!

Hey Louann and msfraggle!
So nice to hear from both of you! :-)
Louann..I do understand the situation with your sister sooooo much more now! I can't believe that she still went back to him and that she didn't believe you.. But ya..I do understand why being with your sister is so difficult..so don't stress about us judging you for slipping..I think both mysenf and msfraggle can understand why you slipped..BUT I also think both of us know that you are strong enough to keep fighting this and to get back up! Xxx
Msfraggle..I hear what you say about your hubby..it's difficult to talk to someone when they just don't "get it".. So I guess I would have done the same.. Just know that you can talk to us about it..anytime!! PLEASE don't feel guilty or bad about your progress!! We're here to celebrate it with you..cause if we can't encourage each other to get better and celebrate each other's victories and walk through the valleys together,then it will really turn into a morbid place! :-) so please don't ever feel bad about doing good and making progress!! Just know that I'm happy for you and proud of both of you for fighting and wanting to overcome this..and where I'm at has got nothing to do with me being proud of both of you! So don't ever feel bad cause you're doing good! Xxx
You should both take care and I'm glad to hear that you've got great days ahead of you..even if it's a bit busy..I think it's a good thing!! Enjoy!! :-)

What better way to pamper your pooch than with his very own Studio Haus & Pad by Bow Haus ($389). The sleek, modern bed comes in metallic silver with a reversible pad in orange-charcoal, or green-mocha, making it a great alternative to that old cage pet crate. Great for puppy training, the Haus & pad not only makes him feel special, but it also functions as a swanky side table, so he can lounge in style.

City of Wilmington and State of Delaware Celebrate the Grand Opening of the Westin Wilmington
Posted on 04/28/2014 5:39 pm
Westin Wilmington to Anchor Chase Center on Riverfront
Today, Mayor Dennis P. Williams joined Senator Tom Carper, Governor Jack Markell, Michael Purzycki, executive director of the Riverfront Development Corporation, Rob Buccini, Co-Founder of the Buccini/ Pollin Group (BPG), state and local elected officials and the Riverfront Development Corporation board members to celebrate the grand opening of the West Wilmington Hotel on the Riverfront.
The Westin Wilmington features 180 hotel rooms, and is connected to the Chase Center on the Riverfront in Wilmington. The hotel is the first Westin-branded hotel in the state and the first new-build hotel in Wilmington since 1980.
"The Westin Wilmington's grand opening marks the final stages of tireless commitment and a collective effort to bring such a great new addition to Wilmington's Riverfront," said Mayor Williams. "The Westin's connection to the Chase Center will make the Center more competitive as a destination for meeting, conference, and convention business that the City of Wilmington currently lacks. It will also help further define the Riverfront as a tourist destination for the City of Wilmington and the State of Delaware."
The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver-designed hotel is within walking distance of such Fortune 500 companies as Barclay's, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Capital One and DuPont. The hotel features a 2,100-square-foot, state-of-the-art legal center with private offices and a hospitality area for meals. The center was purpose-built to support visiting legal teams that are participating in legal proceedings at the nearby Wilmington federal courthouse. Combined with the adjacent Chase Center on the Riverfront, the hotel/convention center complex offers a total of 92,000 square feet of conference space and a 24-hour business center.
Located at 818 Shipyard Drive, the four-star hotel is an ideal launch pad for leisure travelers looking to explore the historic city, numerous nearby restaurants and retail, as well as such attractions as the Delaware Theater Company, Delaware Children's Museum, Penn Cinema IMAX Theater, and the Delaware Center for the Contemporary Arts. The Delaware Art Museum, Winterthur Museum Garden & Library, Longwood Gardens and the Brandywine River Museum of Art are within a short driving distance.
"The new Westin may well be the most important Wilmington project in recent memory," said Mr. Purzycki, executive director of the Riverfront Development Corporation of Delaware, the state-funded, non-profit corporation which owns and operates the Chase Center. "A catalyst for Chase Center business, it is a symbol of Riverfront's dynamic future, and surely will further enhance Wilmington's reputation as an attractive, regional visitor destination."
The Westin Wilmington's guestrooms and suites feature the brand's signature comforts, including the world-renowned Westin Heavenly® Bed and the Heavenly® Bath enhanced with the brand's Heavenly® Shower, Heavenly® Robe and White Tea Aloe bath amenities, in-room and high-speed Internet access. Guests can maintain their workout regimens in the fully equipped Westin Workout Studio, complete with New Balance gear and running maps that take guests along the Christina Riverfront. The hotel's full-service restaurant, River Rock Kitchen, serving locally sourced and seasonally selected small plates, is led by chef David Lattomus and also will offer the Westin brand's signature SuperFoodsRX® menu.

Paper straws are cute, sure, but they don't exactly hold up well while they sit in liquid. If you're looking for a darling accessory to serve with your summer lemonade, stock up on Strawsome's Pink Cosmo Straws ($12 each). The straws are made from a durable glass and designed to add a bit of fun to your drinking experience. Maybe they'll even help you coax your kiddo into slurping down a green smoothie!

Gain a new perspective with a bike ride
Published: Tuesday, May 21, 2013 at 3:12 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, May 21, 2013 at 3:12 p.m.
Locals who live on the area's beaches know the best way to get around an island is with a bicycle. With tourism season swinging into high gear, pedaling often gets you where you want to go much faster than driving.
Get some wheels
Aussie Island Surf Shop
1 N. Lumina Ave.
Wrightsville Beach
(910) 256-6789
6801 Parker Farm Road
(910) 256-2545
Pleasure Island Rentals
2 N. Lake Park Blvd, Carolina Beach
(910) 458-4747
Wheel Fun Rentals
107 Carolina Beach Ave. N.

You never have to worry about finding a parking spot. There's no gas or pollution. Plus, you have the added benefit of burning calories and taking in the fresh, salty air while you travel.
If you're looking to match the laid-back vibe of your vacation, a beach cruiser is the way to go.
On Wrightsville Beach, rent one from Aussie Island Surf Shop or down the road in Mayfaire at Bike Cycles. Carolina Beach offers bike rentals at Wheel Fun Rentals and Pleasure Island Rentals.
Be sure to get lights if you plan to ride after dark, and while you see many people cruising without a helmet, do so at your own risk. Also, locks are essential. Unfortunately, a few thieves live in paradise.
In Wrightsville Beach, the River to the Sea Bikeway follows Causeway Drive under the drawbridge and continues on to the less-traveled Channel Walk Drive and Pelican Drive. You will find wide bike lanes along most of the route.
If you're feeling a little more adventurous, travel over to the mainland side of the bridge and make a right on Summer Rest Road, a scenic ride along the Intracoastal Waterway that connects to a short, wooded trail taking you to Port City Chop House.
There are rideable sidewalks if you feel like a longer trip up to Eastwood Road and right on Military Cutoff Road toward The Forum and Mayfaire.
Farther south on Pleasure Island, you will find a bike trail trail behind Food Lion off Bridge Barrier Road. Follow it north to ride along Snow's Cut or travel south down old Dow Road. Canal Drive also has side lanes for bicyclists and pedestrians. In Kure Beach, the N.C. Aquarium at Fort Fisher offers a bike trail that winds through a maritime forest near the ferry landing, and those with extra energy and fat tires may want to try during low tide to ride south on the beach itself, which eventually becomes Bald Head Island. Just be sure to time your trek right and know what you're up against on the way back in terms of wind.
