Retail is one of the top industries in the world, employing over 15 million people in the U.S, alone. The term "retail" covers everything from luxury car dealers and jewelers to restaurants and gas stations. However, one of the most popular sub-categories is mall-related. There's a big difference between being a mall rat and a mall owner. If you can combine the two, and you find a good strip mall for sale, you might just have the perfect business venture.
The Shopping Mall Industry of America is a $23 million slice of the global retail industry. It encompasses more than 8,100 establishments nationwide and grows at a rate of 2.9% annually. Included are traditional-style indoor malls with multiple levels (including often hundreds of retailers), or smaller outdoor strip malls containing 6-20 separate shops. You can also purchase your own mall-friendly franchise to ensure a booming business and a healthy profit line.
Beyond the typical retailers, many malls for sale also include restaurants, gyms, beauty salons, bill-payment centers, banks, medical offices, spas, travel agencies, and conference centers. It often makes better business sense to buy one of the many shopping centers for sale rather than starting one yourself. When you buy an existing shopping mall, it's simply a matter of managing the existing retailers and marketing your business for growth and continued customer patronage. Browse BizQuest's listings now for commercial shopping centers for sale!
BizQuest has more Shopping Center for sale listings than any other source. Whether you are looking to buy a Shopping Center for sale or sell your Shopping Center, BizQuest is the Internet's leading Shopping Center for sale marketplace.

Does America Have a Security-Industrial Complex?Tweet
June 18, 2013
A new article in The Atlantic argues that the level of secrecy in Washington has become "absurd," especially around intelligence and defense programs.
Millions of private contractors have been recruited to design and run the nation's security infrastructure, but information about these programs is not available to the public. Politicians say they welcome a debate on issues of surveillance and security but then deny the public the necessary information for an informed discussion.
From the article:
The culture of secrecy that pervades Washington borders on the absurd. American officials say they cannot discuss "classified" U.S. counter-terrorism tactics that are well-known worldwide - from water-boarding to drone strikes to data mining.
The White House refuses to release the legal memo it used it used to justify the killing of an American citizen in a drone strike in Yemen. The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court will not publish summaries of the rulings that made data mining legal. And [Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), the chairwoman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence] will not declassify a redacted version of her committee's 6,000 page report on the Bush administration's use of enhanced interrogation techniques.
From drone strikes to eavesdropping to torture, the American public is not allowed to know the rules and results of U.S. counterterrorism policies.
In order to maintain these secrets and expand intelligence gathering and defense programs, the government has turned to hiring millions of contractors while keeping the federal workforce at about the same level. This shadow government of private contractors now costs the government $300 billion a year.

Sorry, I like soccer, but admit I don't know the rules all that well. But, I wanted to know why the kid from Judge got a red card, and isn't that kind of like a flagrant foul in Basketball? Is it a transgression worthy of further discipline? Someone help please.

The reason the judge player got the red card was because he was the last defender and was stopping what was a big opportunity for a goal. If there had been another player in between him and the goalie, he probably would only have gotten a yellow card, but he prevented what was a clear opportunity for a goal.

Park City looked real crisp in their matches earlier this week, despite losing
to 5A Weber. Plus they already have a win over Juan Diego in tough Region 10.
Wasatch on the other hand is the defending Region 10 champ and are playing at
home. In fact they have been at the top of the region the last 2-3 years. I
expect a tough low scoring game typical of these 2 quality sides.
It looks like the Wasps have the stronger offense - - but funny things happen in "the beautiful game". It will be another interesting and hotly contested game and the poor weather conditions won't help much. The referee will likely have something to say about the outcome (which is unfortunate) like he did in the match in Park City last year. I look for the Wasps to prevail over the Miners.

Cuffed woman steals cruiser, leads 100 mph chase
Managed to slide open the prisoner screen that separates the front and rear areas of the patrol car
Associated Press
PORT ARTHUR, Texas — A handcuffed woman was accused of swiping a Port Arthur police car and leading officers on a chase at speeds topping 100 mph. Police Chief Mark Blanton told KFDM-TV that nobody was injured in Friday's chase involving a woman arrested on a trespassing charge at the Port Arthur campus of Lamar State College.
Blanton said a witness told police that the woman managed to slide open the prisoner screen that separates the front and rear areas of the patrol car, crawling from the rear seat into the driver's seat. The officer was outside the running vehicle, completing his investigation.
The chase lasted about 10 miles on Highway 69 until the patrol car's tires were shredded by spike strips thrown on the road by other officers.
Port Arthur is 80 miles east of Houston.

D200 purchase in Canada. Right time?
Jan 9, 2007
That's it! I have decided to upgrade my D70 to a D200.
Considering the recent decrease in price in the US and the fact that the price is still the same here in Canada, do you think it is the right time to make this move?
Does Nikon Canada usually follow prices in the states?
Any thoughts on this? Thanks!

Budget ng Bayan sa Kamay ng Taumbayan
There is a game-changing mechanism now in place by which citizens, represented by civil society organizations (CSOs), can submit plans with accompanying budgets aimed at alleviating poverty in their locales. It goes by the name of Bottom-up Budgeting (BuB) and it puts the power of the purse in the hands of the people.
It Feels Right Because It Works
The National Anti-Poverty Commission, though a small agency, is unique among the other agencies because people's participation is inherent in the institution that gives voice to the marginalized and poor.

High school graduation dates to change in 2013
Clickker I hope others have family like yours that are retired or have stored up vacation. Unfortunately for our family that is not the case and the only immediate family members that will be able to attend are parents.
Some family work second shift and older family members do not drive at night and can't afford a hotel. No situation is perfect but this decision was made without any feedback from parents or students.
I contacted Mr West and got a response that confirmed my belief that he could care less. Accept it or don't come.

High school graduation dates to change in 2013
Maria I agree with you. If not Memorial Day weekend a weekend is far better than in the middle of the week. Being in the evening and the middle of the week will make it not possible to have a family gathering before, people will be at work or after the ceremony, people need to get home to go to work the next day. Maybe, just maybe the students and parents should have been surveyed about this.

Take one look at the epic scenery surrounding Granada and you'll be itching to get out there asap. For nature and adrenaline sports lovers, it's pretty much an unbeatable location. Trust me – 5 years after living there I'm still discovering awesome things to do in Granada!
At first the only activity on my mind was snowboarding in the Sierra Nevada ski resort. I couldn't believe that a resort so massive and developed existed within an hour's drive of the beach. After two or three visits I stopped having to pinch myself – it really wasn't a dream. When spring came we could ski in the morning and sunbathe on the beach in the afternoon! (a feat we affectionately named 'From Piste to Playa').
But when summer started (for which you will need to be very well-prepared in order to survive), I discovered that there were even more thrills to be had. Granada, the Sierra Nevada and the surrounding countryside form the perfect adventure playground.
What to do in Granada? There is too much to cram into one blog post, but here, at least, are some of the best things to do in Granada in summer:
Things to do in Granada in Summer!
1) Hiking
Where to start? There are miles and miles of breath-taking countryside to amble your way through in the Granada province. The numerous routes vary in difficulty.
A popular and easy route is Los Cahorros in Monachil, a small town just outside of Granada capital. The trail is flat the entire way and runs alongside a rocky stream. There is a long drawbridge beside a waterfall which feeds into the stream below. In the summer it's great to cool off here so bring your swimwear along! There is also a bit of ducking and dodging required at times, since the path flanks a rather jagged rock-face, but there are handles for you to hang on to as you clamber your way around.
For something a bit more vertical, you may want to explore beyond Monachil and climb Mount Trevenque. As one of the lesser known Granada attractions, you won't find many tourists here. The terrain here is very rocky but not too steep until the last quarter, when you'll need to work hard! It's best to go with a guide as the route is quite long and high; that way you don't have to worry about getting lost or – in the worst case scenario – stranded on the mountain for the night! I'd recommend Wayne Hurst, a native English-speaking guide who has lived in Monachil for the last several years. He knows the mountains better than anyone! A trip to Monachil is one of the most popular Granada day trips.
If you're after the ultimate challenge, head for La Alpujarra in the Sierra Nevada and have a crack at summiting Mulhacen – mainland Spain's highest mountain at 3478m. Generally, climbers split the hike across two days. Day one is all about getting to the isolated refuge – a 20km hike along the Camino de la Sierra unless you opt for the minivan which will drop you at the top of the hill about 5km away. Day two will leave you breathless. There are two or three ways to the summit, all marked with little rock piles. I went last year and took the steepest route, but we made it in good time. The 3-4 hour return leg down to Trevelez was the hardest on the calves and knees. My advice: walk back along the road to Capileira!
2) Rock-climbing
Personally, I've never been rock-climbing in Granada – I'll admit, I'm too scared – but man alive have I seen some gnarly rock faces being scaled like they were mere garden fences.
Most recently, in Monachil (yes, again), during our walk through Los Cahorros we passed a few climbers beginning an ascent. I couldn't tell how high it was from the bottom as there was an overhang. It wasn't until we took the high road on our way back did we realise the sheer size of the rocks they were climbing. Talk about balls. These guys' cojones were so big they had their own safety harness.
I've no doubt there are plenty of other rock-climbing spots near Granada, but I know Monachil is very popular. If you'd like more information, Wayne is your man.
3) Mountain Biking
Cycling is taken very seriously in Granada. Just about every day you're bound to see a herd of skin-tight, brightly-coloured lycra-wearing dudes pedalling laboriously into the city after climbing God knows how many kilometres of dusty road. I am in awe of their fitness and will to endure such suffering.
But I know how good it feels to get to the top. Back when I had an awesome bike before it was stolen (grr), I would, occasionally, push and pedal my way 12km up to Quéntar, where a huge, turquoise-blue reservoir – mirage-like when you turn the final corner – is the perfect place for a swim. It is also the site of an enormous dam and the view from the bridge is quite simply epic. On a very rare occasion – perhaps once or twice – I resisted the temptation to cool off in the lake and carried on to Güéjar de Sierra, a Granada town 1,100m high and very close to the Sierra Nevada ski resort. From here you can see the peaks of Veleta and Mulhacen (see above) but alas, there is no swimming.
For rockier and more challenging terrain, Monachil, again, is your best bet!
4) Kayaking
If you visit Granada during summer it won't be long until you are desperate to cool off. Lucky for you, Granada's wild landscape is dotted with great, glass-like lakes. One that will immediately spring to mind for anyone who knows the area well is Embalse de Bermejales (Lake Bermejales). For me, the fresh water here beats any of the beaches in Andalucia – the temperature is perfect and neither your skin nor eyes are irritated by salt from the sea. You can hire kayaks and water bikes from the local campsite and spend an hour or two rowing/pedaling/drifting to your heart's content (any more than that and you will melt to death).
You can even go kayaking in the sea, along the stretch of coastline between Nerja's Burriana beach and Maro which features dozens of secluded caves, caverns and waterfalls. Technically, the area belongs to the Costa del Sol, rather than Granada's Costa Tropical, but we are talking a matter of a few kilometres.
Here is a great post written by local Andalucia and Granada travel expert John Kramer who explored the route with his kids and clearly had quite the adventure!
5) Paragliding
In case you missed it, two weeks ago I went paragliding! Thus came the inspiration to write this post. As you can probably guess it was incredible, except the bit when I nearly chundered on my pilot.
Not only is it a wonderful experience, but it's also surprisingly easy (and cheap!) to go paragliding in Granada. There are several operators you can find online but let me save you the trouble and straight up recommend Roman, who is not only a very cool and funny guy – he's got years of experience too. He takes clients paragliding over Cenes de la Vega, a 15-minute drive away from Granada, and if the wind is too strong to fly the day you go there will be no charge.
If you're looking for things to see in Granada, you can see them all from up there! Read more about my experience and details on paragliding in Granada here.
6) Paintball
Yes, you will sweat buckets in those overalls you have to wear but paintball is that much fun you really won't care. Plus, it's cheaper and quieter in summer!
Last year a large group of us booked an afternoon at Color Paintball about 35km outside of Granada, as part of a raging stag weekend. The setup was insane! There were three huge installations with plenty of places to hide or sneak up on unsuspecting opponents, and another indoor installation for when the heat became too intense. It was here that the rest of us were allowed to unload all of our remaining pellets on the stag as he scurried unarmed along a massive wall and back again in front of us! It was great until Kike, our guide, handed a fully loaded gun to the stag after we ran out of amo. Things took a sudden turn for the worse then.
Color Paintball offer a great deal, which includes barbecue and beers. For 30€ per head we got a mountain of chargrilled meat, 3 beers each and 300 pellets (more than enough) to play with. There were 4 games and since we had the whole place to ourselves each one lasted about half an hour.
Paintball with Color Paintball was bags of fun and the drive from Granada is beautiful!
7) Quad Biking
Another very apt activity for stag parties yet one that has so far eluded me in Granada. I know the opportunity exists, as I've seen quad bike convoys operating in La Alpujarra and near Quéntar when out on bike rides, but it's probably not what you would consider normal Granada tourism.
Quad-biking is obviously not for the faint-hearted and a great degree of care is required when you're traveling along at speed. But I can't imagine there are many better places to do it than in Granada, which if you haven't realised by now, is basically an adrenaline junkie's wet dream.
Here is a list of companies that take groups out on quad bikes both in La Alpujarra and Guadix/Quéntar.
8) Rock-jumping
Rock-jumping; cliff-jumping; "tombstoning" (as I believe it is commonly referred to in the UK); or just plain insanity – jumping from great heights into deep rock pools or lagoons is a common pastime in the Granada province of Andalucia, if you know the right spot.
You can do it in , the small beach town less than an hour's drive from Granada capital. Here there is a giant, lone crag – about 40-50ft high – called El Peñoni. In recent years el peñon has become the go-to site for rock-jumping, despite how blatantly dangerous doing so appears to be. Obviously there are different heights you can jump from, and the water is deep enough even if you jump from the top (I've seen kids do this) but there is always a chance you could land badly and seriously injure yourself!
Alternatively, you can hurl yourself into the paradise-like, waterfall-fed lagoon of the Junta de los dos Ríos, where Rio Verde and Rio Negro meet in the Andalucian sticks, if you can get there. This is one of the most beautiful yet most difficult places to visit in Granada. We attempted to find it a while back and failed completely. However, we did come across another smaller lagoon with two waterfalls which we subsequently had all to ourselves for the day. We couldn´t complain.
For more information on Rio Verde, check out my full post here.
What are some other things to do in Granada in summer to get the adrenaline pumping? Have I left anything out?
This post was written in collaboration with Deal Checker. Like always, opinions are my own. Would you expect anything less from me!?

The stories are nicely varied - the foreword discusses them in the context of "Hard SF" but admits that not all of them satisfy the criterion in the classic sense. I have to admit I don't really care about that, I simply enjoyed them as stories - there's a dash of quantum time travel, some deep space stuff, some pessimistic visions of the future (I liked Rusch's account of a marriage falling apart against a background of creepy genetic augmentation - all at a price, of course - which tells a very human and familiar story in a new and fresh way).
The stories are all high quality, with the best easily worth 5 stars, and only a couple below 4. Those that especially stood out for me were (beware: a couple of spoilers follow) "Malak" by Watts, a sort of recast ...Read more ›
What about the stories? "[S]ome of the stories are classic hard SF, some are not. [I]t is part of the ongoing discussion about what science fiction is in the 21st century." Since the stories are not related in any systematic way, perhaps the collection is a celebration of diversity. I am never sure what people mean by that, either. Ah, well. The stories are all pretty good, each in its own way. Four stood out for me:
Hannu Rajaniemi's "The Server and the Dragon" has no human characters. But it is rich with motives and emotions that humans have no trouble understanding. From two, one.
Robert Reed's "Mantis" is two stories, edited. A man and a woman exercise and watch another man and woman meet on the street outside. Between the two couples a high tech window subtly alters what they see of each other. Oh, and there's a bug.
In Gwyneth Jones' "The Ki-anna" a fraternal twin investigates his sister's death on a war-torn planet. An accident or a murder or the self-sacrifice of a seasoned anthropologist?
In John Barnes' "The Birds and the Bees and the Gasoline Trees" the growth of a huge undersea structure is investigated by a nearly-indestructible genetically engineered woman who has been recalled to Earth from the environment she was designed for.Read more ›
The heartbreaking "Watching the Music Dance", a story of a little girl damaged by illegal implants which boost her musical ability, could easily have been written by a modern Phillip K Dick, using science fiction as an instrument to explore current issues. In this case, this is a tale of the damage over zealous parents can inflict on themselves and their offspring.
"Mercies", by Gregory Benford, on the other hand recalls classic Asimov, with a tale of a time travelling assassin, changing alternative pasts by despatching historical serial killers before they commit their crimes.
Thirdly, Stephen Baxter mines a very British seam reminiscent of Arthur C Clarke with the "Invasion of Venus", a story of mysterious alien incursion into the Solar System, seemingly oblivious of the human race.
Moving forward (in terms of writers), "Malak", a stunningly good tale about a military drone given a conscience, is very much, in its combination of very near future and high technological focus, on the Cyberpunk playing field.
That Cyberpunk feel is also to be found in "Laika's ghost", which is additionally reminiscent of Ken Macleod or Adam Roberts, bringing in themes of post-Soviet revolutionary politics.
Probably the most outright entertainment is to be had from Charles Stross's "Bit Rot".Read more ›

Bullet to the Head Reviews
July 11, 2016
Story and acting wasn't awesome but fight scenes were great, Sly and Christian in the same movie is a winner for me
February 7, 2016
It's a predictable/nothing special action film but it gets a pass mark from me. Jason Momoa put in the best performance for this film.
February 6, 2016
It was enjoyable. Stallone had some good tough guy humour. Not one of his most remember able roles but it wasn't bad.
½ January 24, 2016
Very poor movie from Stallone
January 21, 2016
I'm convinced that there are two reasons for the narrative success of this movie: Sylvester Stallone and the great Walter Hill.
½ November 30, 2015
As the title suggests Stallone is Mr bad arse who likes to play with knives, guns and bombs for a hobby.
After getting his knickers in a twist over his dead partner Stallone embarks on an hour of murdering people..
A throwback to Stallones earlier career where plot and acting take a backseat to mindless macho violence.
As the title suggests Stallone is Mr bad arse who likes to play with knives, guns and bombs for a hobby.

September 14, 2015
Stallone is back on his own this time and its very good, the plot is old but its very well done, a little dark in places but stallones dont give a fuck humour makes up for it, stallone himself is looking great he cant move as good but he pulls it off as he always does, the action is done pretty well, there was alot of bullets to the head as the title gives it away, the kills were done well and quite realistic, overall its not as good as the last stand because of the action, but definitely worth a watch.

Waaaaaait A Minute, An Ex-Agent Gone Bad, Drinking & Doing Drugs, Living In Louisiana & Caught Up In An Old Investigation?? - I Smell A 'True Detective' Rip-Off Right Here...-Sigh- ..What A Damn Poor Substitute For A Far More Superior Rendition Of Corruption & The Underbelly Police-Work In Deep, Dark, Louisiana.
August 6, 2015
Like the title of the movie this lacks subtlety. What it also lacks is anything which makes a good action movie. It's dull, formulaic, poorly scripted & a pretty dire plot! It struggles to hold your attention & you will pretty much wander off wondering why you've bothered & the time you've invested gone to waste.
July 29, 2015
Maybe Stallone got bored. I know I did.
½ June 20, 2015
Sylvester revisits the actions movies of old with a style and plot that feels a quarter of a century too late than the year this film was released in.
June 4, 2015
Decent shot me up movie, starring our favourite Stallone as he beats his way through bad guys. Pretty average movie although better than I expected, surprisingly violent, lots of people getting shot full of holes, but that's where the good of this movie really stops. There's the traditional foreign bad guy tough guy, who tanks through all opponents until the final encounter with Bobo at end of the movie. The plot is basic and cheesy, the script and acting are too, but still manages to be amusing. Ex-cop, stands up for another cop that is going to get killed, saves him a few times, guy doesn't appreciate it, they don't get along, but he saves him at the end, ya seen it all before. The final fight isn't terrible, gives us a surprise or two, nothing specs up however. Overall it's not bad, not good, and simply put it's quickly forgotten. I've made the mistake of waiting too long until I reviewed it, and now can't remember half of what happened. But not a bad watch if half paying attention and in need of action and decent pace.
May 27, 2015
Violent action as Stallone plays a hitman who has to team up with a cop to bring down a mutual enemy.
½ May 22, 2015
When I first heard of this film, it represented Sylvester Stallone's comeback as an action star. I can't exactly say I didn't get what the film promised, but what I got was a rather empty action film that desperately needed more substance. Frankly, this is one of those films where the title was infinitely more appealing than the actual film. Though I commend the film for its attempt at a more personal narrative, but it doesn't do this very well, with essentially the same writing clich�s that plague most action films. The characters are nothing special, and they're all basically stock personalities. They aren't terrible, but they clearly deserve more personality, and the script doesn't help much. The film looks like it could have been a hard-hitting action film, but looks only go so far in action films, and this film's style of presentation is very typical. At the very least, the action scenes still pack a bit of the punch that Stallone's action films were known for, but it's ultimately quite tame. It's not bad, but it's the kind of film that doesn't really aim for anything above its station, and with no ambitions of being anything other than an action film that relies on nostalgia. I guess, however, that's the price we're expected to pay when it comes to actors who are now past their prime.
May 16, 2015
Stallone's performance is the only highlight of this relatively disappointing film.
May 14, 2015
Stallone and his worst
April 30, 2015
Don't you have any happy childhood memories of Sylvester Stallone, action hero? Do you think Get Carter was his finest work? Do you miss the buddy cop flick? Then i got a mindless actioner for you! Based on a graphic novel helps excuse the poor dialog and cliched plot. But it could have been a lot worse and it doesn't hurt my brain the way say the Fast franchise does. I bet this would have been a huge hit in the late 90's but the Rob Schneider would have been the co star, and we've been there done that
April 22, 2015
brings back the Stallone from the 90s, when he was at his best.
½ April 8, 2015
It's like this, if this came out in 1989-1992, it would've been a massive box office hit. Critics would've been a little more forgiving, not much more, but a little more. The action is great, the lines are perfectly cheesy, and Jason Momoa is awesome. No, no, he just is. Conan sucked but Jason Momoa is awesome. It's also got HAN FROM the FAST AND FURIOUS family! Not great, but I like it.
Super Reviewer
½ March 30, 2015
"Bullet to the Head" is a flat, uninspired and banal revenge action movie that does not even have the proper energy to try to be a proper buddy movie. That's not to mention a truly convoluted plot that again proves how often a real estate scam does not make for scintillating drama. All of which is a shame considering Walter Hill should know better with his long and acclaimed track record. At least, he cast Sarah Shahi even though she is not given much to do and Jason Momoa who walks around he like owns the room and does.
On the one hand, James Bonomo(Sylvester Stallone), a hitman, would very much like to to avenge the death of his partner Louis(Jon Sena) who died at the hands of Keegan(Jason Momoa). At the same time, Taylor Kwon(Sung Kang), a police detective, arrives from Washington DC to New Orleans to investigate the death of his former partner, James and Louis' last victim. That leads to James saving Taylor's life, against his worse instincts, even bringing him to his daughter Lisa(Sarah Shahi), a tattoo artist, in order to be stitched up.
"Bullet to the Head" is a flat, uninspired and banal revenge action movie that does not even have the proper energy to try to be a proper buddy movie. That's not to mention a truly convoluted plot that again proves how often a real estate scam does not make for scintillating drama. All of which is a shame considering Walter Hill should know better with his long and acclaimed track record. At least, he cast Sarah Shahi even though she is not given much to do and Jason Momoa who walks around he like owns the room and does.

Egyptian Opposition Leaders Face Treason Probe
Egypt's chief prosecutor has ordered an investigation into allegations that opposition leaders committed treason by planning protests to overthrow President Mohammed Morsi.
The probe by a Morsi-appointed prosecutor targets opposition leaders Mohammed El Baradei, the former head of the International Atomic Energy Agency and a Nobel Peace laureate, former Foreign Minister Amr Moussa, and Hamdeen Sabahi, RIA Novosti informs.
Both El Baradei and Sabahi were running against Morsi in the presidential election earlier in the year.
Morsi asked the opposition on Wednesday to join a national dialogue to heal rifts and move on after a month of mass street protests against him and the constitution drafted by his allies.
