Give a choreographer music he has never heard and often inspiration follows. That's what happened in 2005 when Artistic Director & Principal Choreographer Helgi Tomasson discovered the music of Karl Jenkins. He heard Jenkins' Palladio and immediately wanted more. And when he listened to Jenkins' String Quartet No. 2, he knew he had found the score for the new ballet he would make for the 2006 Repertory Season, The Fifth Season. "I felt it was contemporary to today, and it's romantic," Tomasson says. "Even though it's in the minimalist genre, there's a swell of melodic feeling underneath."
Welsh composer Karl Jenkins entered the professional music scene as a jazz musician, but his career defies categorization. He has composed for the advertising industry and a feature film, along with for orchestras and festivals. In 2005 he was named an OBE (Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire) for his services to British music. His music isn't often used in ballet— another reason it appealed to Tomasson.
The Fifth Season has been a frequent offering in the Company's repertory, in the 2007 and 2012 Repertory Seasons and on the 75th Anniversary Tour in 2008. The ballet takes its title from the first movement of Jenkins' five-part String Quartet No. 2; the phrase intrigued Tomasson, who thought it suggested something beyond the ordinary. "It's not the fifth season as in the four seasons. It said something else to me, opened up other ideas," he says. With movements that are musically diverse— from baroque-inspired to a percussive tango to an aggressive waltz, and beyond—String Quartet No. 2 gave Tomasson varied terrain in which to explore his ideas. Because he wanted the ballet to have six movements, he added the largo from Palladio for the adagio pas de deux, expanding the ballet's range even more.

In his choreography, Tomasson makes the most of the music's contrasting tones. The pulse of violins lightens the strong movements of the corps de ballet; the waltz is angular, then undulating, then suspended; the dancers alternately attack and melt into the tango's sharp rhythms. And the pas de deux has "lovely, soft, lyrical qualities," said Ashley Wheater (then a ballet master and Tomasson's assistant and now artistic director of Joffrey Ballet) during the ballet's creation. "Each section of the ballet is very different, and at first I thought they were extreme in their ideas. But you can really see how they link together." Jenkins is often classified as a minimalist, yet Wheater described the music for The Fifth Season as having "a lot of soul." And, he added, "Helgi picked up on that."
In the pas de deux, says Principal Dancer Damian Smith, the music is "almost overwhelming. We're so drawn to each other, in sync," he says about performing with Principal Dancer Yuan Yuan Tan. "I'm not just lifting her and turning her—I feel as though I'm the one dancing. I'm doing the same steps; I'm just doing them in my hands," he says. "I can feel what it's like for her to be lifted; I can feel the momentum of a turn slowing down. I have to know when to push, when to release, or when to help a little more."
Throughout the ballet, Tomasson's choreography maintains a coolness and sophistication that doesn't obscure its inherent drama. As Smith explains, "We're not trying to compete with the music, but allowing it to be what it is. We're flowing with it instead of being aggressive and matching it. There's a similar thread in most of Helgi's pieces, in that you're challenging yourself against the music, allowing it to draw you through the piece rather than trying to push yourself through the music. His steps are not always obvious. There's a subtlety to his choreography that makes it original."

San Francisco Ballet in Lifar's Suite en Blanc (© Erik Tomasson)
Suite en Blanc may take you by surprise. Rarely seen in the United States, it's the kind of show-offy neoclassical ballet that allows a company to flaunt its dancerly riches. But it's also a stylized piece that refuses to take itself too seriously. Whimsy and humor, sometimes tongue-in-cheek, along with a "ta-da!" presentation and vignettes of stunning beauty, make Suite en Blanc unusual, surprising, and endlessly delightful.
SF Ballet is only the third U.S. company to perform Suite en Blanc. When Artistic Director & Principal Choreographer Helgi Tomasson saw it years ago in Paris, he put it on his mental back burner. A few years ago, the enthusiasm surrounding English National Ballet's production made him decide that Suite en Blanc should be part of SF Ballet's repertory. "This is an historic ballet," Tomasson says.
Part of Suite en Blanc's freshness lies in the fact that it was choreographed by Serge Lifar, a dancer who created the title roles in George Balanchine's Apollon Musagète (now Apollo) and The Prodigal Son at Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. Lifar made Suite en Blanc during his 14 years as a dancer with and director of Paris Opera Ballet. Set to music excerpted from the 1882 ballet Namouna by Edouard Lalo, Suite en Blanc is a series of divertissements, separate but linked dances that are diverse in tone— floaty to flirty to majestic to spunky—yet still share Lifar's signature style.
The names of the dances (for example, Sieste, Serenade, Cigarette) come from the full Namouna score and were keyed to a story; in Suite en Blanc they carry no meaning. (Still, Lifar did enjoy playing on the names at times—watch closely and you'll see images of wafting smoke in Cigarette.) His favorite movement motif—a flattened profile with shoulders turned 90 degrees to the hips, reminiscent of ancient Egyptian art and clearly rooted in Art Deco style—appears often, particularly in elegant struts on and off the stage.
Former dancer Maina Gielgud, who staged Suite en Blanc for San Francisco Ballet, attributes the interest in this ballet at least partially to the Lifar style, "which is very special to him, and nowadays pretty unique, coming through that whole stable that started with the Ballets Russes and [Léonide] Massine and Bronislava Nijinska. And at the beginning you can almost see some bits of Balanchine in there."
And Gielgud should know. Suite en Blanc, in which she danced several roles, was with her "for the better part of my career," she says. When she was a 15-year-old student in Paris, she danced the Cigarette variation for a gala, and her coach was Lifar. "He was larger than life," says Gielgud, "full of stories about the Diaghilev time, stories about him in the Diaghilev time. I remember his very large emphasis on style and shapes and forms."
And so, in setting Suite en Blanc, an emphasis on shapes is paramount. In rehearsals Gielgud flits from dancer to dancer, adjusting an arm here, a chin or a hand there. A half an inch makes a difference, as does the direction of the gaze. "The whole place belongs to you," she tells one of the principal dancers. "Proclaim everything you're doing." To another, she says, "Give them the whole world."
A sense of generosity is essential in doing Suite en Blanc well—and it's what Gielgud calls the "bee in my bonnet. I think with classical ballet, to make it relevant, dancers need to be generous with their movement—to share their love of dancing, make the audience want to move as they're watching." She tells the dancers, "The fun is to indulge in the style, flirt with it, sell it. Treat it like a contemporary ballet."
Generosity isn't all that's needed. To give this ballet its due, Gielgud says with a smile, the dancers "need to have arrogant chic."

Music: Tirol Concerto for Piano and Orchestra
World Premiere: April 29, 2014—San Francisco Ballet, War Memorial Opera House; San Francisco, California
Liam Scarlett and San Francisco Ballet rehearse his World Premiere (© Erik Tomasson)
In today's contemporary-ballet–minded world, it's not often that you find a 20-something choreographer who unabashedly defends classicism. Enter 27-year-old Liam Scarlett, artist-in residence at The Royal Ballet since 2012. "The classical tradition is embedded in me," says the choreographer, who trained at The Royal Ballet School. "I love working from where I've come from, using all the technique I've been taught and then trying to put a twist on it."
Being named The Royal's artist-in-residence would have been a feather in Scarlett's cap even if the role (in which he works alongside choreographers Christopher Wheeldon and Wayne McGregor) had been an existing one. But it was created for Scarlett, which makes the honor even greater. No doubt the fact that he has been prolific in his brief career (in the neighborhood of 19 pieces to date) had much to do with his quick rise, and an Olivier Award nomination for his 2010 Asphodel Meadows surely didn't hurt. Committed to choreographing, he accepted the appointment and walked away from his corps de ballet position at The Royal.
Helgi Tomasson, SF Ballet's artistic director and principal choreographer, saw Scarlett's work and knew he wanted the young dancemaker to create work for the Company. "He's done so much wonderful work," Tomasson says. When he invited Scarlett to take a look at the Company, "he saw our season in London and said, 'Wow! When do I start?' "
Scarlett's ballet for the Company, set to music by Philip Glass, shows the young choreographer's roots (the tradition) and perspective (the twist). Clearly built on classicism, it's a three-dimensional ballet not only in terms of space but in his approach to movement. On a macro scale, there's depth in how he uses levels and fills the space, complexity in his groupings and movement on and off the stage—a sense of fullness that's also there on a micro scale, in the body. When he demonstrates a tiny twisting movement, you'd swear you could see his intercostal muscles engage. This is a young man who knows, with minute specificity, what he wants.
And what Scarlett wants is movement that comes from deep in the body. When he makes a miniscule adjustment in how a dancer originates a movement, the nature of the movement changes completely. It's like altering one pixel and having the effect go widescreen. What he's seeking is "something that's breathing, from the lungs and from the heart, from the back," Scarlett says. "Like an earthquake epicenter, it ripples out. It's using your breath; it's using your natural body rhythm. It has a human quality because it's using everything you have."
With his dancers, Scarlett seems open, calm, and confident. He denies feeling confident but says he's "always enjoyed being at the front. I think it's important to connect with the dancers, the audience. Being able to express yourself wholly and honestly is very important. And I endeavor to do that from day one."
Despite Scarlett's attention to nuance, he works quickly, so much so that Soloist Sasha De Sola, who dances principal and soloist roles in the piece, says keeping up with him wasn't easy. It was as if the choreography was "escaping from him," she says, "and we were trying to catch it." What De Sola finds both fun and challenging about working with him is "trying to mimic his movement quality. He has a really good sense of dynamic and syncopation and things that make what could be simple steps much more interesting."
For this commission, Scarlett chose what seems like, on casual listening, simple music, Philip Glass' 2000 Tirol Concerto for Piano and Orchestra (so called because it was partially supported by the Tirol Tourist Board). "I think every choreographer should tackle a piece of Glass at some point," Scarlett says. When you listen to Tirol Concerto with a choreographer's ear, it's far from simple. "It's a complex, methodical, layered piece [with] different counterpoint melodies from what you'd expect," he says.
The piece is similar, says Music Director and Principal Conductor Martin West, to the timpani concerto used in Jorma Elo's Double Evil, created for the Company in 2008. "The driving rhythms, a hypnotic second movement, and then a driving last movement," he says. "But [Glass] used a very small orchestra, interestingly—just strings and piano. It's not anything big and spectacular, it's more intimate."
In listening to a piece of music before he begins choreographing, Scarlett finds that he envisions aspects of a new ballet. "It's amazing how, maybe subconsciously, when a certain bit of music keeps coming back, you'll see the same image," he says. "And those images get stronger, so that by the time you get into the studio, there's an idea of what should happen. I'm very keen on having a natural response to music, nothing that's too superficial. Keeping it surprising as well, but something that seamlessly works its way across the whole."
What drew Scarlett most to Tirol Concerto was the second movement. "It's beautiful and touching," he says. "It has kind of a Ravel's Bolero-style building and layering. His timings are just right. When a suspension comes, it comes at exactly the right moment, so you feel a natural response to it."
The second movement's choreography, De Sola says, is "effective and mesmerizing. I love how just the girls come out, and we do very simple [steps], not really dancing, but hands and weight changes, wrist flicks and things we don't often do in ballets."
Scarlett calls what De Sola is talking about "heightened senses," an elevation of the ordinary to something less tangible and attainable. "There's something wonderful about an audience member watching the stage and thinking, 'They're human beings, but I'd never be able to do that.' [In part of the second movement] the dancers are just walking, but somehow it's transcended into something more; it's gone past ballet technique. It's the subtleties of the simplistic stuff that I find fun to home in on. I can spend hours on a look, or how you can get there. In essence, it's trying to make it as real as possible, so that you do have moments of forgetting it's a dance piece you're watching, because it's so human."
Scarlett's new ballet digs deep, drawing on the dancers' emotions—which vary, since they bring personal experiences to their interpretations. That's fine with Scarlett, who likes watching what evolves as the dancers individuate a role. "I didn't walk in and say, 'This is going to be an emotionally charged piece'—you just let it sink in," Scarlett says. "You'll see it happen—people will come in after a break, or the next day, and something will have changed. It's amazing, that change." It happens in every rehearsal period, he says. And when it does, "for me, it's the best day."

VAIL, Colorado - Before there was Vail or much of anything else around here, there were ranchers and livestock.
It wasn't that long ago the Jouflas family ran one of the four largest sheep operations in the United States based right here in the Happy Valley.
In those days it was the Gore Creek Valley - before the marketing types started calling it the Vail Valley, even though there's no such place on all of God's green earth.
Since 1926, the Jouflas family had been running sheep through the mountains that would become Vail Mountain and through the valley that would become Vail, the town.
After about 1965, though, that became a little problematic. When the gondola building went up, real estate development soon followed. Among the favored spots for real estate development was the real estate along the Gore Creek.
It's pastoral and placid.
People liked it. So did sheep.
"Ranching is a fairly straightforward business," said lifelong Eagle County rancher Chris Jouflas. "Sheep need grass and they need water. They don't need much else. They aren't real complicated."
They do, however, need to be left alone. When they're facing the business end of a cranky, toothy dog, their sense of self-preservation goes into overdrive as they run the other direction.
There are a few specific dog breeds that you want around sheep. The kind that can snap a coyote's neck like a twig is one. The kind that keep sheep rounded up and prevent them from forming a support group for future lamb chops.
Then there's the kind of dog that made one of Chris Jouflas' ewes so nervous she jumped through a plate-glass window on the ground floor of Gunther Hoffler's brand new condo.
Some dogs chased that sheep until it leaped through the huge window of the condo and onto Hoffler's blue shag carpeting. The sheep suffered a cut on its eyelid.
Head wounds don't have to be that serious to bleed like the Nile River in one of the Seven Plagues of Egypt. Mostly, blood goes up there to keep the brain functioning property. Sheep, of course, don't have much in the way of brain function, but apparently blood likes to hang out in their heads anyway.
So when this ewe cut her eyelid, massive amounts of that blood ended up on Hoffler's powder blue shag carpet - and pretty much all over the rest of the powder blue condo that his interior decorator had said was simply "to die for."
Hoffler eventually returned to his powder blue domicile, finding it generously dotted with blood stains and other byproducts that any nervous sheep might leave behind.
Hoffler and Jouflas agreed, sort of.
Hoffler called Jouflas, furious that the sheep was bleeding and that sheep had to graze in Vail at all.
Jouflas came to fetch the ewe, furious that his sheep was bleeding and that sheep had to graze in Vail at all. "That's the kind of thing that the stories of sheep and cattle wars came from," says Jouflas, laughing. "The stories weren't necessarily right, but they made a great legend."

RUTLAND, Vt. (AP) — The select board in Rutland has decided to not prohibit a medical marijuana dispensary from locating in town.
There hasn't been a specific request to open a dispensary in Rutland, but board members are in consensus that no action should be taken to ban them outright.
Vermont passed a law in 2011 that authorizes up to four privately run dispensaries to provide marijuana for patients with chronic illness or intractable pain. The state has licensed dispensaries in Burlington and Waterbury.
Board member Paul Faignant told the Rutland Herald that marijuana has some medical value and that to outright ban a dispensary would be hypocritical.

Steamers' Hargrove Road location destroyed by fire
Firefighters say interior is a total loss
Published: Tuesday, November 12, 2013 at 10:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 12, 2013 at 10:34 a.m.
The inside of Steamers Restaurant and Oyster Bar, a popular Tuscaloosa restaurant, was gutted by fire early Sunday morning.
Firefighters say the interior of the seafood restaurant on Hargrove Road was a total loss.
"They will be closed for an extended amount of time while they go through some major construction," Tuscaloosa Fire and Rescue EMS Chief Travis Parker said.
No one was injured in the fire that was reported at 12:38 a.m. Sunday. And while the cause of the blaze is still under investigation, Parker said nothing appears suspicious.
"We are so thankful that no one was hurt and our prayers go out to all of our hardworking employees that this is affecting," a post on the restaurant's Facebook page read Monday.
Owners Heath and Keith Wyatt recently opened a second location on the University Strip. The twin brothers and their parents opened the original Steamers on 15th Street in 1996 before moving to Hargrove Road in 2001. Five years later, the family relocated the restaurant to a location on Bridge Street in Northport. In 2009, however, it sold that location to Wintzell's Oyster House, and in 2012, moved the restaurant back to the Hargrove Road location.

I love this app and the support is very quick, but $50 is too expensive.
Should be $20 or so.
Overpriced app that phones home...booooo
Became better with version 1.5.
Even if you subscribe one calendar from two different google calendar accounts, BusyCal automatically detect the duplicate.
Great app, though $40 is a bit steep. (I have upgraded from BusySync).
This is a good application, with potential to be great. There is some room for improvement, though the rapid updates, gives me the impression that such improvements will see the light of day sooner rather than later.
Heh...iCal+ eh? Costs more then Snow Leopard...the entire OS.
Love it. Really flexible and easy to use. I agree with the iCal+ comment.
Great app - but it doesn't seem to be compatible with menucalendarclock? Which is a crying shame!
Far too expensive. Especially for a per-computer license. It means for my wife and I to use it, I'd have to buy three licenses - 1 for the desktop, 1 for my laptop, and 1 for hers. I like it otherwise, and the syncing options are nice, but realistically it doesn't offer enough over iCal for most people and especially not enough "Pro" options like seeing other people's schedules or other Outlook functionality which is really the standard.
Nice application and nice deal on the upgrade from BusySync.
Very good application. Works great. I can't spend the money for now otherwise I would have bought it.

1) How did you choose your screen name?
Wanted something to do with the team but it seems like these days players come and go so I didn't want to get stuck with someone will be gone within a year (or they end up a Viking). Thought about Lambeau and the frozen tundra but that's a little too cliche. Then it hit me this team plays well in the rain and mud for whatever reason and I can't remember too many games they've lost in the rainy weather at Lambeau as well as on the road. Originally went with Soggy Tundra but didn't finish the sign up (had a few to drink after work [grin1] ) when I closed out firefox by accident so I went with my current name instead since I couldn't sign in or get the password sent to me.
2) Could you tell us a little about where you grew up and about your family?
Grew up in Rockford, IL with my dad. His side of the family comes from most of the farming areas and towns to the south like Byron and Stillman Valley. Mom's side came from Arkansas.
3) Did you play in any sports or where you involved with any High School clubs and such?
Was on the baseball team (ahem) for three years and ran cross country for two. Did speech team and helped build this robot thingy for a competition my senior year.
4) How did you find the PackersHome? And what keeps you active on the site?
During the Saints game last year (2012), was going bonkers over Capers sitting in zone all game while Brees picked the D apart. After the game I didn't read anybody criticizing this, just the kickoff fumble and NFL ref nonsense. Thought maybe I was crazy but a google search led me here. Lurked on and off for a few months before registering. It's big enough to have a lot of different conversations from different people but not so small that every thread just turns into a circle jerk like I've seen on other small forums. Plus the NFC North group I posted on constantly had discussions getting derailed by fans of all 4 teams remind the other fans that their teams did in fact suck and got lucky constantly otherwise they'd be 0-16 etc etc.
5) What type of hobbies do you enjoy?
Reading, traveling, occasionally playing PS3 or PC games, trying to cook, movies
6) What was your first job?
Announcing baseball games at a Boys and Girls club that my high school baseball coach ran
7) What is your fondest memory of your teenage years?
Going on a class trip to the United Kingdom and Ireland. Sparked my interest to travel abroad and in general travel as much as possible.
8) If you could have one moment being part of the Packer organization, what would it be?
The meeting when it was decided Favre had to go
9) What is your worst fear?
Not getting to see more of the world
10) How many trips/games have you made to Lambeau Field?
Only been there once for a tour sadly. Saw a few pre-season games at Camp Randall back in the mid-90s
11) Whats your favorite food?
12) If you could live anywhere where would it be?
Germany. Specifically
Regensburg in Bavaria
. I've lived there twice for a total of 7 months.
13) Name your favorite 5 Packers all time and explain the reason for one of them.
1. Aaron Rodgers-so accurate, a pure QB so to speak and I like the way he carries himself
2. Brett Favre-for obvious reasons but I still haven't forgiven him yet
3. Edgar Bennett-always played good against the Bears and he was a mudder
4. Donald Driver-almost reliable, played hard and the way he was killing himself vs Atlanta in the 2001 playoff game with the injured shoulder even after the game was over
5. Charles Woodson-did everything on D and was always throwing everything he had into the game to try and win. The half time story when he saw the x-rays tears me up.
14) Where are some of the places youve been, and where are some of your favorites.
In the US: Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota, Missouri, Nebraska, Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Kentucky, Virginia, Maryland, D.C., Pennsylvania, North Carolina, South Carolina, Indiana, Ohio, Florida and Mississippi. Though some of them were just driven though with no stops.
Abroad: United Kingdom-London+Wales, Ireland-Dublin, Shannon, Netherlands-Amsterdam, Austria-Salzburg+Vienna, Italy-Rome+Venice, Czech Republic-Prague, Germany-Munich, Nuremberg, Stuttgart, Heidelberg, Frankfurt-am-Main, Cologne, Hamburg, Berlin, Regensburg
Favorites in the US: Houston, Chicago, Colorado, Milwaukee
Favorites abroad: Berlin, Prague, Salzburg, Rome, Nuremberg
15) When youre not on PackersHome, what are you doing with your free time?
Reading, surfing the net watching too much youtube
16) What is one thing you've always wanted to do, but haven't done yet in your lifetime?
17) What other sports teams do you follow and why?
St Louis Cardinals though I haven't followed closely the past few years. I'll also root for the Blackhawks and Bulls if they're on. If I'm in Rockford an Icehogs game is always nice to go to.
18) What lead to your following of the Packers?
Was 8/9 years old in 1993 when my dad was watching a game so I just rooted for his team. Got more and more into it with the 93 season and the playoffs that year. Cemented in 1994 on Halloween. For the sake of simplicity I just wore a Packers t-shirt and giant inflatable helmet instead of my costume for the school party. Other kids let me hear it. One Monday Night Fooball beatdown later and they weren't talking. It was a close shave though; my mom is a Bears fan, dressed me in Bears clothing as a baby and insists that some of my first steps were to the Super Bowl Shuffle. Personally I don't remember any of that and vehemently deny any of it.
19) Can you share one of your favorite memories of the Packers?
The 96 season+Super Bowl XXXI, constantly sweeping the Bears in the 90s and under Sherman (his only high point), following the Thanksgiving game in 2007 online while in Germany at 3 am in the morning and realizing there was life after Favre, the 2003 and 2007 playoff games against Seattle, watching Ahman Green as a runner, getting see Reggie White play in person (even if it was preseason)
20) What is your favorite PackersHome memory and/or feature?
Following the 2013 draft and discussing the picks as they came in
21) PM and post the next person to be interviewed.

thanks mucky. love this name better than "sloppy".
I am down the Rock in Oregon.
my son ran XC. He is about 2-3 years younger than you. Oregon had some pretty good runners back then.
it is great to have another Cardinals fan on here. Zero2Cool gets a little paranoid about his weak Brewers when he compares them to a great franchise. I think it is envy.
I enjoy your posts in the other sections as well.

In the Super Bowl thread you mentioned your son going to Sean Considine's high school rival my first thought was "Oh, he's from Oregon, Stillman or Winnebago." I seem to remember Oregon having some pretty good individual runners but all the schools at the time always got crushed by the Winnebago team (won state my senior year).
Thanks wpr and Pack93z for the warm welcome

Sen. Feinstein's Message for Putin: 'Man Up'
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D., Calif.), chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, had a direct message for Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sunday: "Putin, you have to man up."
She said in an interview on CNN that the Russian leader needed to admit any Russian involvement in the Malaysia Airlines shootdown, which she said she hoped was a mistake. She said relations with Russia were at Cold War levels.
Her House counterpart, Rep. Mike Rogers (R., Mich.) said intelligence is increasingly pointing toward a Russian role in the shootdown.
"The evidence is mounting that this had Russian hands at least at some point on this equipment," Mr. Rogers told ABC' "This Week."

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Sunday directly blamed the separatists but stopped short of saying that Mr. Putin bore direct responsibility as well.
Lawmakers were more direct about Mr. Putin's culpability for the shootdown of the plane, which is believed to have killed all 298 people on board.
"Putin is responsible and complicit for what happened," Rep. Michael McCaul (R., Texas), chairman of the House homeland security committee told CNN.

Many people with asthma, or other lung problems also have nasal and sinus symptoms. Drainage from your nose and sinuses can make asthma worse, especially at night. A salt water nasal wash, or nasal irrigation, can help reduce this. A nasal wash:
The Sinus Rinse Kit is one technique to do a nasal wash. The Sinus Rinse Kit comes with an 8 ounce or 4 ounce Sinus Rinse bottle and mixture packets. When using the Sinus Rinse Kit you can use the prepared mixture packets that come with the kit or you can make your own nasal wash solution. Both procedures will be described.
You must thoroughly clean the equipment used for a nasal wash to prevent the growth of bacteria. It is important for each family member to have his/her own Sinus Rinse bottle. Do not share the Sinus Rinse bottle.
If you have any questions about this nasal wash technique please ask your health care provider.

About the Book
During the twenty years that she lived in Rome, Audrey Hepburn—legendary actress, fashion icon, and humanitarian—was the epitome of chic European style, from her little black dresses to her ballet flats. Her partnership with designer Hubert de Givenchy resulted in some of the most memorable and timeless looks on film.
Audrey in Rome is a gorgeous coffee table book that includes almost 200 candid photographs of the movie star--many of which have never been published before. These rare snapshots give us glimpses into the everyday life of the gamine star of such classic films as Roman Holiday, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Sabrina.
Edited by her son, Luca Dotti, and Ludovica Damiani, film and theater writer and producer, and with text by fashion director and stylist Sciascia Gambaccini, Audrey in Rome is as personal as having Audrey Hepburn's family scrapbook in your hands.
Assembled by Audrey Hepburn's son Luca Dotti, Audrey in Rome is an intimate collection of almost two hundred candid photographs of the beloved actress and much-imitated style icon during the twenty-year period she made Rome her home.
A private album of rare snapshots—many never published before—of Audrey Hepburn in her everyday life as a citizen of the Eternal City, Audrey in Rome is a treasure for every fan of her films and her impeccable, timeless style. With an introduction by Dotti that reveals Audrey's private side and three photo-filled chapters organized by decade, the book captures the actress as she strolls around the city alone and with family and friends, walks her Yorkie, Mr. Famous, has breakfast in Piazza Navona, visits the local florist, and more. The book also contains set photographs of the films she made during her Rome years (Roman Holiday, War and Peace, The Nun's Story, Breakfast at Tiffany's) and of the famous clothes and accessories that helped create her iconic look. Irresistible as the actress herself, Audrey in Rome opens the door to Hepburn's personal world.

text: Just wondering if anyone here has read it, been hearing good things about it. If not mistaken the author posts here, so surprised I haven't seen the book mentioned, and if mentioned... infrequently. Anyways, I'm quite interested in it, seems like something like I and many here would enjoy, or at least want to give a try. Here's a review by Cindy over at FBC: http://fantasybookcritic.blogspot.com/2010/06/ninth-avatar-by-todd-newton-reviewed-by.html So, anyone given it a try or planning on it? http://www.amazon.com/Ninth-Avatar-...=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1279126129&sr=1-1 http://www.amazon.com/Ninth-Avatar-...tmm_hrd_title_0?ie=UTF8&qid=1279126129&sr=1-1 Don't know why it's so expensive at the moment though.

Despite Kinks, Fat Maggie's Food Is Satisfying
Published: Wednesday, February 27, 2013 at 7:23 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 27, 2013 at 7:23 p.m.
The message is clear: Fat Maggie's is not the sort of restaurant one seeks when looking to lose a few around the midsection.
1037 Dixieland Lane, Lakeland; 863-937-8962
Open 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
FOOD: 3 stars
SERVICE: 2 stars
AMBIENCE: 2 stars
THE GIST: Low-key, friendly spot for indoor and outdoor dining with a nod to barbecue, burgers and craft beer.
FYI: Future plans call for deck expansion.
CREDIT CARDS: All major cards accepted.
PRICE RANGE: Most items under $12.
APPROPRIATE FOR KIDS: Yes, there's a menu just for them.
MUST TRY: Beef brisket, pulled pork, truffle fries, Nutella cheesecake.
But if you're hungry for a brawny burger spilling with candied bacon, or a gourmet chili dog, you've come to the right place.
Fat Maggie's is not the least concerned over how one squares the idea of a salad topped in bite-size corn dogs. The nest of greens serves merely as plush cushion to the show-stopping, artery-clogging nuggets of pure delight.
Ensconced in what amounts to a back-alley parking lot hidden from the clatter of busy South Florida Avenue, Fat Maggie's is a study in extremes. The tiny dining room is raucous, despite its out-of-the-way locale.
Better to dine outdoors on the sturdy deck, or beneath an oak at one of several picnic tables, where you will defend your meal from encroaching bumblebees but revel in fresh air and serenity.
I was particularly defensive with a slice of Nutella-flavored cheesecake, an indulgent sweet that was not available during an earlier visit when I settled on a very good bowl of banana pudding, the sort of comfort food that is attracting, well, plenty of buzz.
Having opened in December, the restaurant is an appendage of a Lakeland catering business owned by Dustin and Heather Olson. The couple included partner Kevin Berry in their Fat Maggie's enterprise, named for the Olson's English bulldog.
Berry, 32, and Dustin Olson were classmates at Evangel Christian Academy. Conceptually, their restaurant seeks to elevate the experience of eating barbecue. After downing one of their smoked brisket sandwiches, anointed with grilled onions, a scattering of deep-fried jalape�os and peach barbecue sauce flavored with a kick of whiskey, I'd say mission accomplished.
I like the idea of the restaurant's build-your-own sandwich concept, where you choose from a short list of main ingredients, such as the Kobe beef brisket, $7, or burger, $5, then tailor to your taste with choice of bun, brioche or Texas toast, cheeses and other toppings, including premium items like fried egg, $1, or garlic aioli, 50 cents.
Several sides are quite ample, suitable for sharing, including frightfully delicious fries flavored with truffle oil and parmesan. The restaurant offers a short, albeit thoughtful list of beer, along with Captain Eli's handcrafted sodas from Maine's Shipyard Brewing Company.
Can you build a restaurant on a foundation of brawny burgers, smoked meats and truffle fries? Certainly. The trick is consistency, and service swift enough to meet the demands of the daily lunch crowd.
I found service to be a bit strained on two recent visits, but one can't argue with the popularity of this fledgling restaurant, where waits can stretch into 20 minutes or more on Fridays.
No doubt they were not overly eager to be serenaded by the likes of Charlie Daniels and other honkytonk coming from the restaurant's outdoor sound system. Or, once seated, to be proffered a bottle of water and a menu, only to get lost in the shuffle as servers dart hurriedly from deck to dining room. Or to be told, sorry, we're out of fries, and it's only 1 p.m.
But these are the sort of kinks yet to be worked out as Fat Maggie's finds its footing, and its clientele.
A humble suggestion: Ditch the gummy, tasteless broccoli casserole. After all, it is just a pretense to serve anything vaguely healthful.
Where Fat Maggie's shines is under the dome of its smoker, where pork shoulders are rendered for sandwich stuffings, or piled into tacos and on top of nachos.
During its initial inspection back in December, the restaurant was cited for six violations, five critical, including an unlabeled spray bottle and lacking proof of training and certification.
Having taken advantage of city Community Redevelopment Agency grants to kick-start their business, the owners are part of a growing restaurant scene in and around the area's historic neighborhoods, bringing good food and drink within walking distance.
It proves you don't have to have fancy to attract a crowd. So far Fat Maggie's is packing them in with satisfying food, friendly service, and a menu that's slightly offbeat.

Part Mustache. Part Molest. 100% Pure Sexy.
Hide the children! That creepy man with the molestache is in town again.

Can you define these popular missing words?
Top Definition
A group of bristles or hairs about the mouth of a man who cannot seem to grow it in fully. Sometimes this is caused by the subject going through puberty, but it is generally thought that Darwin's theory of evolution may take part in this phenomenon.(if a person is undesirable, his body may not allow him to have normal bodily functions...like growing hair on his face.) This act of trying to grow facial hair but horribly failing is usually perpetrated by child molesters and heshers for some unknown reason.(or possibly the Darwinist theory above)

Three weeks after being claimed for $35,000, 28-1 shot King David joined the elite ranks of Grade 1 winners, rallying through the stretch under jockey Rosie Napravnik to upset Saturday's 63rd running of the $400,000 Jamaica Handicap on the turf at Belmont Park.
Making his first start in a stakes race, the former claimer ran third, a few lengths off tepid early fractions of 25.89, 52.29 and 1:18.15 set by another longshot, 23-1 King Kreesa. As Summer Front came up the rail to challenge the pacesetter in midstretch, King David launched his bid on the outside and grabbed the lead with less than 100 yards to go for a half-length victory over King Kreesa.
Following the runner-up under the wire were the top three betting choices: second-choice Summer Front, third selection Cogito and 8-5 favorite Dullahan, with Shkspeare Shaliyah and Howe Great completing the order of finish.
Trained by Mike Maker, King David completed the 1 1/8 mile Jamaica in 1:52.91 over an inner turf course rated "good."
"I assumed I probably would get a stalking trip, and we sat in a great spot," said Napravnik, who one race earlier captured the Grade 1 Foxwoods Champagne with Shanghai Bobby and had three victories on the card overall. "I was able to save ground on the first turn. The turf is a little bit soft, so I took him to the outside. He just put in a very game effort."
The victory was the sixth in seven starts this year for King David, a dark bay son of Hat Trick who did not break his maiden until May 25 in a $25,000 claiming race at Arlington Park. Two victories and one second-place finish later, King David travelled from Chicago to Saratoga Race Course, where he was claimed for $25,000 by trainer Nick Canani on August 13. A month later, trainer Mike Maker haltered King David for $35,000 out of a victory at Belmont on behalf of Scarlet Stable.
"Mike saw this horse at Saratoga, and lost a shake [to claim him] there, so he claimed him at Belmont," said Maker's assistant, Pearl Hagadorn. "He looks for an athlete that he thinks can improve with his program, and he's brilliant at it."
The second-longest shot on the board, King David returned $58 for a $2 win bet and earned back his purchase price almost seven-fold with the winner's purse of $240,000. Overall, he is 6-1-0 from 11 starts.
"I said [last night to Ramon Dominguez], you know what? Mike does this all the time," said Napravnik. "He's very good at turning it around, turning horses over, and doing a great job with them, especially on the turf.'"

As a rock 'n' roll band in the 1960s, Canned Heat went to extremes with sex, drugs and lip synching.
Bob "The Bear" Hite was hilarious when he pretended to play the flute on a musical variety television program and on another occasion the band members traded instruments with each other.
"We didn't want to go there and lip synch," drummer Fito de la Parra said. "I mean, come on, we're a blues band, gimme a break."
Emulating the Who, Canned Heat smashed its instruments during a song on British TV, which offended the wrong person.
"The TV station in France had gotten permission to bring this famous American band to play there, but the manager of the Versailles Palace saw the show in England the night before," de la Parra said. "So he said, 'Absolutely not. These guys will not walk inside the palace.' He wouldn't even let us in. So we played outside freezing our asses off. He said no way these savages are coming inside my palace."
With the songs "Goin' Up the Country," "Let's Work Together" and "On the Road Again," Canned Heat was the first American band which played blues songs to have singles high on the rock charts. It also had drug-related tragedies with the deaths of Hite and Alan "Blind Owl" Wilson.
De la Parra details his life and career with Canned Heat in his candid book "Living the Blues," which also is the title of Canned Heat's third album. A native of Mexico City, he said his background helped him survive the '60s.
"I really appreciated being in America and achieving the American dream, and to me Canned Heat was the greatest thing that ever happened," he said. "I look at life like standing in train station and different opportunities go by, different trains go by. It's a matter of recognizing which train you are going to jump on and stay on it and to me it was the Canned Heat experience."
At the urging of his book's co-writers, de la Parra included his salacious experiences and he described the first time he became high on marijuana. He happened to be in bed with a groupie at the time.
"I enjoyed (marijuana for) the very first time very much but she was expecting wild sex and all that stuff but I guess that was not in the program for me," he said. "I was all spaced out, saying, "Wow. This Coca Cola tastes great."
The woman abruptly got out of bed and left the room. De la Parra has since changed his ways.
"I don't drink Coke anymore," he said.
Canned Heat's two singers had distinct voices: a falsetto from Wilson and gravel from Hite. Both were musicologists but when the band formed only novice performers. Guitarist Henry "The Sunflower" Vestine also was a serious record collector. They added de la Parra, who had played professionally since he was 13 and bassist Larry "the Mole" Taylor, who also began playing professionally as a young teen with Jerry Lee Lewis.
"They figured if they were going to have a strong band they were going to need some pros," de la Parra said.
The tracks on Canned Heat's first album were all traditional blues songs, similar to Paul Butterfield's note-for-note covers. Vestine urged for something more, and after a performance a music writer said Canned Heat had married blues and rock 'n' roll.
"That's where the idea came," de la Parra said. "We said, 'Let's play harder, let's play louder. Let's play with more distortion and more intensity just like other bands like Hendrix and Cream were doing.
"The idea was already boiling in Henry's head and in Bob's head. Not as much with Alan. Alan was more traditional but he went for it. He went for a free music approach and a little bit of jazz and rock 'n' roll approach. We were the first blues-oriented band to have hits worldwide. Neither John Mayall or Alexis Korner or Paul Butterfield had a No. 1 record all over the world and we had three in the top five."
While Canned Heat had an unprecedented commercial success and a sensational performance at Woodstock, it was shortchanged on royalties.
A zealous law official determined to rid Denver of its "longhairs," set the band up, de la Parra wrote in his book. Marijuana was planted in a hotel room and all but one of the band members spent a weekend in jail. Police also arrested Canned Heat's manager, Skip Taylor, who was in bed with a woman in a different room, and he really did have an illegal substance. An officer unaware of hashish hauled Taylor away and told the woman she would have to eat a bedside candy bar by herself.
A company gave the band $10,000 for legal fees to exonerate itself from the trumped up charges in exchange for publishing rights to its music.
"We still don't get a penny from any of those songs," de la Parra said.
Canned Heat continues to perform and will be in Harrah's Lake Tahoe's South Shore Room on Saturday, Sept. 22. The lineup is de la Parra, Taylor, guitarist Harvey Mandel and Dale Spalding. (Vestine died of cancer in 1997.)
"Right now the band is doing great," de la Parra said. "We're making more money and are more desirable than we ever were. I guess people see our quality now that we are gonna die pretty soon. I hope not pretty soon.
"Larry is 70, Skip is 70 and I'm 66. So this is it for us. Our last gigs. We do 60-70 shows a year. I always say, 'Musicians don't retire. Musicians just die,' which is what most of my idols have done."
Superb drumming is not what clinched Fito de la Parra's Canned Heat audition. It was the Buddy Guy-Junior Wells record he had brought along.
"Bob ('the Bear' Hite) told me years later, 'When I opened that door and I saw that record under your arm, I knew you were the drummer for Canned Heat,' " de la Parra said.
The band members appreciation for blues contributed to the careers of Skip James, Son House, Albert Collins and John Lee Hooker, and they collaborated with Gatemouth Brown, Memphis Slim, Sunnyland Slim, Taj Mahal, Javier Batiz and Roy Rogers.
De la Parra's love for the blues motivated him to come to the United States.
"I was enjoying fame and fortune already in Mexico with the pop bands and the rock bands I played with down there with," he said. "I was living a good life in Mexico City but there was something missing in the music. It was too poppy. Too bubble gum."
De la Parra learned blues from an American girlfriend's record collection and from Batiz, who was Carlos Santana's mentor.
"By the time I came to the U.S. I knew what they were talking about when they said, 'Let's play some Elmore James or this or that.' I knew everything they were playing."
Hite and Henry Vestine had voluminous record collections and Alan "Blind Owl" Wilson was an astute musicologist with a falsetto singing tone much like that of James.
Wilson is credited with helping House relearn his own songs after the pioneering bluesman was "rediscovered" in 1964 and recorded the album "Father of the Delta Blues."
Hite and Wilson met at a collectors' meeting and when they started a band it was named after Tommy Johnson's 1928 song "Canned Heat Blues."
Vestine was part of a group of blues record collectors who found James in Tunica, Miss., revitalizing his career with an appearance at the 1964 Newport Folk Festival.
Before its legendary Woodstock appearance, Canned Heat played the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival. Afterwards, Downbeat Magazine wrote, "Technically, Vestine and Wilson are quite possibly the best two-guitar team in the world and Wilson has certainly become our finest white blues harmonica man. Together with powerhouse vocalist Bob Hite, they performed the country and Chicago blues idiom of the 1950s so skillfully and naturally that the question of which race the music belongs to becomes totally irrelevant."
While the British Invasion is credited with teaching white America about its own music, Canned Heat played a role from Southern California. And de la Parra made a one-man invasion from Mexico.
"In Canned Heat I learned to love primitive music," de la Parra said. "Mariachi music is very much like the blues. It's based on three changes and it's simple and easy to digest. We don't believe music should be so ambitious or demanding. We like to play for the gut, not the brain.
"Bob used to say jazz died in 1947 and rock and roll died in 1959. He was a purist record collector and musicologist. He said rock and roll died when the crooners started to take over. Then the British came over and took the blackness out of rock and roll."
Canned Heat's greatest hit, "Goin' Up The Country" was inspired by Henry Thomas' "Bulldoze Blues," recorded around 1927. It was a No. 1 hit in Britain and all across Europe.
Canned Heat fame helped Collins, the "Master of the Telecaster," get a big break.
"We found him in a little club with four or five tables and less than 10 people, playing in a place called the Ponderosa Club in Houston, Texas," de la Parra said. "We convinced him to come to LA and he did and he got his first record deal with Liberty Records and he became quite famous."
Early in his career De la Parra played with guitarist T-Bone Walker, who was clearly the inspiration for Chuck Berry's style.
"T-Bone Walker was one of the greatest but not one of the best known but his influence on most guitar players is undeniable," he said. "Most guitarists that play blues music are playing a little bit of T-Bone Walker at least, including Chuck Berry."
Who was the greatest blues player?
"Albert King played the fewest notes but the way he played them there was nobody in the world that could match him," de la Parra said. "He was probably the greatest when it comes to feeling and the way that he approached those few notes that he played. Sometimes in music less is more and Albert King can prove it.
"For drummers it's Al Jackson. A very simple laid back drummer. Albert King himself used to tell us that Al Jackson was his favorite."
De la Parra is an avid biker, which also has its own demographic of fans. Canned Heat often plays motorcycle and rock festivals but only occasionally to blues festivals.
"In the blues society, Canned Heat is considered too rock and rollish and in the rock and roll society Canned Heat is considered too bluesy," de la Parra said. "Larry (Taylor) has played with everybody - Lightning Hopkins and B.B. King and Buddy Guy and Junior Wells. And even though he's one of the best blues bass players around, he's never been mentioned or given recognition.
"On the blues scene there is a lack of acceptance with really angers me because ... me and Alan and Bob were really some of the pioneers. Our main goal was to propagate blues and make it palatable for white audiences and we did it. We went to Europe over 100 times."

I have a question for you, i have recently installed uShare (linux) on my Linksys router (DD-WRT linux) and it is now serving as DLNA server!
Of course, the slow CPU in the router (~250mhz) cant do any transcoding so it will only server files that PS3 can play natevly like avi, divx (god, it would be a dream if Sony would add MKV, or atleast DivX certification, so that we can just purely stream MKV files!).
It works good as much as i ve tried it, my question to you is, is it possible to install PMS on a little linux router? Of course not the transcoding parts, but as uShare the DLNA part?
That would be a nice thing, as an addition.
Its really cool being able to shut down the computers, and only have the router and a USB or NAS running and streaming it all to the PS3 like with uShare. I know recent NAS have DLNA built in, but still.

Ex-Yahoo CFO Tim Morse Joins Fast-Growing Video-Ad Company
Tim Morse spent the past 20 years working at companies that generate billions of dollars a year in revenue, most recently as the chief financial officer at Web pioneer Yahoo.
Now he's trying to build one.
On Monday, Morse (pictured), 43 years old, became the CFO at privately held Adap.tv, which helps advertisers to buy video-advertising space on thousands of websites including Yahoo and music-video giant Vevo. Video ads generally are 15- or 30-second spots that appear before someone watches a video of their choosing, like this one.
The fast-growing Adap.tv, which was founded in 2007 and is based in San Mateo, Calif, said it generated nearly $100 million in revenue in 2012, up about 200% from $33.4 million in 2011. The company and its competitors, which include BrightRoll, Google and other video-ad "marketplaces" that match buyers with sellers, generally take a 20% to 30% cut of any transaction.
"We have super high growth, and Tim's experience is exactly that—building corporate and financial structure for high-growth, multibillion-dollar businesses," said Adap.tv CEO Amir Ashkenazi.
Morse, a longtime CFO who spent 15 years at General Electric before working at semiconductor company Altera, joined Yahoo in 2009, boosting profit margins and earnings, though the company failed to increase revenue. He is perhaps best known for engineering a complex $7 billion deal to sell half of Yahoo's stake in Alibaba Group back to the Chinese Web giant.
He left Yahoo last fall, shortly after new Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer hired his replacement.
Morse said in an interview that he "wouldn't sign up for a company that didn't have a really big vision." He said he was looking forward to being involved in "the growth engine" as well as to set strategy for the company as more advertising dollars follow the sharp growth in online-video viewing.
"It's a massive market opportunity," he said.
Advertisers spent $2.93 billion on online-video ads in the U.S. in 2012, up 46.5% from 2011, according to eMarketer. This year, that figure is expected to rise to $4.14 billion, the research firm said.
Competition among companies hoping to facilitate such transactions is ramping up.
The top seller of online-video ads is Google's YouTube video site. But YouTube mainly sells its ad space directly to advertisers rather than through the Google DoubleClick Ad Exchange, which competes with Adap.tv and BrightRoll in trying to pool as many buyers and sellers together into one marketplace. Several other ad-technology companies, including AppNexus, SpotXchange, LiveRail and adBrite, also are creating similar video-ad marketplaces as well as tools for buyers and sellers to manage their campaigns.
Such marketplaces, also known as exchanges, allow advertisers to bid to place ads across different websites in real time, or right at the moment a user has called up a particular Web page. Still, most ads are purchased ahead of time through negotiations between individual sites and advertisers.
BrightRoll CEO Tod Sacerdoti said that video-ad companies like his and Adap.tv expect that the Google DoubleClick Ad Exchange will become an "inevitable long-term competitor in the market."
Google Vice President Neal Mohan, who runs the company's ad exchange, said in a statement that in 2012, the number of video-ad buyers and sellers on Google's ad exchange "grew, on average, more than 200% every month."

Sheik, is best known for his 1996 debut single "Barely Breathing" and and is the songwriter of "Spring Awakening." He's teamed up with playwright Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, who worked on HBO's "Big Love," Fox's "Glee" and the Broadway production of "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark."
The 1991 novel—later made into a 2000 movie starring Christian Bale—chronicles a homicidal New York yuppie who is obsessed with high-end clothes and beauty products as he slashes his way through Manhattan.

Sharky's named Florida's Best Beach Bar
Published: Thursday, May 16, 2013 at 5:02 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, May 16, 2013 at 5:02 p.m.
VENICE - Long one of the most popular waterfront drinking and dining venues in the region, Sharky's on the Pier has a new honor to burnish its reputation: Florida's Best Beach Bar.
1. Sharky's On the Pier, Venice
2. Jimmy B's Beach Bar, St. Pete Beach
3. Bongos Beach Bar and Grille, St. Pete Beach
4. Harry's Beach Bar, St. Pete Beach
5. Paradise Bar and Grill, Pensacola Beach
6. Flora-Bama Lounge & Package, Perdido Key
7. Racing's North Turn, Ponce Inlet
8. Shephard's Beach Resort Backyard Tiki Bar, Clearwater Beach
9. Golden Lion Cafe, Flagler Beach
10. Sandshaker Lounge, Pensacola Beach
So declared the website www.floridabeachbar.com, which recently asked visitors to the site to vote on their favorites among 250 Florida beach bars. With 10,000 votes cast, Sharky's was the top choice.
"This is the first time Sharky's made the Top 10 Florida Beach Bar list and it did with a bang," wrote website owner John Sancin, a Sarasota resident. "...It is a favorite hangout for beachgoers, fishers and, yes, sharks. Sharky's is not just a clever name. Every so often the 'big one' that is reeled in is a shark."
Sancin declined to say how many votes Sharky's received but noted it narrowly beat out Jimmy B's Beach Bar in St. Pete Beach, the top choice for the past two years.
The website lauded Sharky's for its tiki huts and bar, live music and 2-story deck with beach and sunset views.
"The best is yet to come," it added, referring to the restaurant's ongoing expansion.
"Pretty cool, huh?" said Justin Pachota, whose family manages the restaurant at the city-owned pier. "The word is getting out there."
Patrons have told him they heard about the honor on Tampa Bay radio and in other media, Pachota said. "It's nice to know we have so many fans."
Pachota thinks the recognition will be a plus for Venice.
With Siesta Beach in Sarasota previously named the No. 1 beach, Sharky's may now be an additional lure for tourists who have not been to the area before, Pachota said. He hopes they will come to the Sarasota-Venice area "to get the full beach experience" — including, of course, lunch or dinner at Sharky's.
Sancin said the website's next Top 10 contest will be in March-April 2014.
In 1985, Mike Pachota and Greg Novack converted the site of a dilapidated beach concession into the restaurant, located at the base of the original fishing pier. Sharky's officially opened on Feb. 10, 1987, with only 78 seats.
Sharky's now seats about 300 and is working on a two-story addition that will increase the seating to 550.

The start of the firearm deer hunting season has thousands of hunters on the prowl. But area scientists are just as interested in this year's herd of deer as their counterparts.
Chronic Wasting Disease found in deer in Wisconsin has some worried about the threat here in Michigan. Deer selected from 40 counties in Michigan will be continuously sampled this hunting season.
Much is still unknown about the disease that has yet to show up Michigan. State officials say the disease can't be spread to humans.
The Department of Natural Resources says it expects more than 700,000 hunters to take part in opening day, killing more than 300,000 deer.

Three Cal freshmen signees were not eligible to report Friday for the start of the athletic department's summer bridge academic session, according to the school.
Defensive ends Takkarist McKinley of Kennedy High-Richmond and Garrett Hughes of Centennial-Corona and defensive tackle Marcus Manley of Santa Monica Junior College will miss the six-week program that begins Monday.
A Cal athletic department spokesman said the players' absence does not mean they can't become eligible in time to be on the roster when fall camp begins Aug. 5.
Kennedy football coach Carl Sumler said McKinley is awaiting his latest test score and expects to be able to join the team this summer.
On the men's basketball team, freshman Roger Moute a Bidias didn't arrive in Berkeley but will start the summer bridge program once he resolves a visa issue with his native Cameroon.
Incoming Cal freshman Missy Franklin won her fourth event at the U.S. national championships in Indianapolis, setting meet and U.S. Open records in the women's 100-meter backstroke at 58.67 seconds.
The five-time Olympic medalist now has qualified for the U.S. world championships team in four events -- the 100 freestyle, 200 freestyle, 100 backstroke and 200 backstroke.
Cal's Elizabeth Pelton was second in 59.27, also qualifying for the world championships next month in Barcelona, Spain.
Incoming Cal freshman Ryan Murphy took third in the men's 100 backstroke in 53.38, while former Stanford star Eugene Godsoe was fifth in 53.86. David Plummer won in 53.10.
Former Stanford star BJ Johnson was fourth in the men's 100 breaststroke in 1:00.68. Kevin Cordes won in 59.99.
San Jose's Aaron Gordon had 17 points and 11 rebounds in just 17 minutes, leading Team USA to a 113-57 rout of China in a preliminary round game at the FIBA under-19 world championships in Prague. Gordon, who'll be a freshman next season at Arizona, is the leading scorer (14.5) and rebounder (8.0) for Team USA, which is 2-0.

From a distance, Tom Holmoe watched as Cal's football season imploded in 2013. It brought him no joy.
"Really tough to see," said Holmoe, even if recent developments in Berkeley did take him off the hook for a dubious record.
Until this past season, Holmoe had the distinction of being coach for the worst season in Cal football history. That happened in 2001 when the Bears went 1-10. The worst "honor" now belongs to Sonny Dykes, who coached Cal to a 1-11 record this autumn.
Holmoe submitted his resignation even before coaching his final game of that miserable 2001 season, ending a five-year losing experience at Cal. He then became an administrator at his alma mater, Brigham Young University, where he serves as athletic director. But the Cal portion of his life left a mark.
"I had a great experience there," Holmoe said. "I know some people might think that's strange. But I loved the people there. It's a great, great place. The affinity for the school was so strong. I wanted to have success. But as time passes, I'm way more well-aware of the mistakes and errors I made at Cal. ... Sonny's got a good temperament for that job. I think he can get it done."
Holmoe can have this reasoned perspective because he is now well into the third act of his career -- from Act 1 as a 49ers player and Super Bowl champion, followed by Act 2 as a football coach and on to Act 3 in academia. You would have to call the third act a rousing success. He has been in charge at BYU since 2005, hiring coaches who win championships and bowl games.
That's what brings Holmoe back to the Bay Area. The Cougars play Washington in Friday night's Fight Hunger Bowl at AT&T Park.
This is only BYU's second football trip to the Bay Area since Holmoe became athletic director. And while Holmoe downplays the homecoming aspect -- especially because other BYU teams visit Northern California often -- he conceded in a phone interview that returning for the bowl game is "a big deal" for his family.
"We raised our kids in the Bay Area," Holmoe said. "We have so many good memories there."
Among the best memories, of course, would be the three Super Bowls by the 49ers when Holmoe played safety for the team under Bill Walsh, plus another ring won in 1994 as defensive-backfield coach for George Seifert.
Not among the best memories would be the 43 games he lost as Cal's head coach, against only 12 victories. The Bears community's general verdict about Holmoe was this: great guy, hard worker, sincere as the day is long -- but far better suited to be an administrator than a coach.
"I think that's pretty accurate," Holmoe said with a chuckle . "It's easier for me to say that, more than 10 years after I left . . . I was probably a little over my head. ... In hindsight, I wasn't prepared for the job."
In 1997, that hardly seemed to be the case. Holmoe was 37 with assistant-coaching experience at the NFL and college levels. He was working as Cal's defensive coordinator when coach Steve Mariucci was hired by the 49ers. Holmoe was promoted. But he found himself facing off against Pac-10 coaches with far more experience -- John Robinson at USC, Dick Tomey at Arizona, Bruce Snyder at Arizona State -- and was not entirely ready for the job's extra baggage. Some academic stuff slipped through the cracks, leading to NCAA probation. He also lost five in a row to rival Stanford.
Holmoe was taking careful notes, though.
"The mistakes I made at Cal, they've helped me a lot in my job now," Holmoe said. "When I'm meeting with a BYU coach, in any sport, we might be in a discussion about an issue or a player and I can say: 'I've gone down that road before and we're not going to do it that way.' And the coaches know I'm not saying that because I think I'm more important than them, but because I've been there. It's more like, 'I screwed up on this kind of thing once and I don't want it to happen to you.' "
One of Holmoe's smartest moves right out of the gate in 2005 was to hire coach Bronco Mendenhall, who has reached a bowl game every year and owns a .713 winning percentage. Three years ago, the Cougars left the Mountain West Conference to become a football independent. Other BYU sports compete in the West Coast Conference.
It's tricky stuff to navigate for Holmoe, especially in terms of football scheduling. But as future opponents, he has signed up the likes of Nebraska, Michigan, Wisconsin and Stanford. Philosophically, Holmoe believes it would be no easier or tougher for BYU to reach a BCS bowl game or the new four-team playoff as a conference member.
And make no bones about it, Holmoe seeks that sort of excellence. His seven seasons as part of the 49ers dynasty in the 1980s rubbed off on him.
"Being on that team with Eddie DeBartolo in charge and Bill coaching and all of those teammates I had, it changed my life," Holmoe said. "Seriously, there's not a day that goes by when I don't think back on something that happened during that period in relation to what I'm doing now. It's part of me."
Holmoe cannot attend Monday night's final 49ers regular-season game at Candlestick because of Fight Hunger Bowl commitments. But he made a private pilgrimage to the stadium last winter when BYU's basketball team played at USF. Holmoe drove his rental car to Candlestick that afternoon and was allowed a solitary visit behind the locked gates. He walked through the locker room, stepped across the field, breathed in the memories.
"The walk from the locker room down that long tunnel to the field ... I made that," Holmoe said. "I liked that."
One day, he hopes to close another Bay Area loop by visiting a stadium in Southern California, when Cal finally ends its ongoing 54-year Rose Bowl game drought. Holmoe was always inspired by former Cal quarterback and coach Joe Kapp's passion for the event.
"When the Bears hit Pasadena ... somehow, some way, I'll be there, along with Joe," Holmoe said. "It will be a great day. I'll be at the parade, for the game, the tailgates, the whole deal. I'll find a way."
