It's time to stop in at the Peach Pit and see what the "Beverly Hills, 90210" gang is up to 25 years after the show's Oct. 4, 1990, premiere.
Shannen Doherty played Minnesota transplant Brenda Walsh, who moved with her family to Beverly Hills. Doherty left the show in 1994, with her character written off as moving to London to attend acting school.
Doherty's biggest post-"90210" movie came immediately after leaving the show with Kevin Smith's "Mallrats." While movie stardom has avoided her, she has since starred on the TV series "Charmed" and "North Shore" and reprised the role of Brenda for nine episodes of CW's "90210" spin-off in 2008-09. Since then she appeared in the 2010 indie drama "Burning Palms" and has appeared in made-for-TV movies, including SyFy's "Witchslayer Gretl" in 2012 and Animal Planet's "Blood Lake: Attack of the Killer Lampreys" in 2014. In early 2015, she reunited with her "Charmed" co-star Holly Marie Combs for the road trip reality series "Off the Map with Shannen & Holly," which ran for six episodes on Great American Country. She's also slated to reprise her "Mallrats" character in a sequel to the movie tentatively scheduled for release in 2016. The actress confirmed to People magazine in August 2015 that she is battling breast cancer.
Jason Priestley played the virtuous Brandon Walsh, Brenda's twin brother. He remained on the show until 1998, when his character moved to Washington, D.C. His character made a return appearance, via videotape, for the show's finale in 2000. He also directed 15 episodes of the show and served as one of the show's producers for the last half of its run.
Priestley appeared in a couple movies during his "90210" run, including "Tombstone" and "Calendar Girl." Since then, he's mostly found work on TV, including stints on "Tru Calling," "Medium," "Side Order of Life," "Haven" and the Canadian TV drama "Call Me Fitz." He's also returned to directing, including reuniting with fellow "90210" castmate Luke Perry in January 2011 for the Hallmark Channel movie "Goodnight for Justice."
Jennie Garth played Kelly Taylor, who would gradually become the main character for the series. Her character appeared in all but four episodes of the show, maturing from spoiled teen vixen to grounded 25-year-old.
Garth starred in several made-for-TV movies throughout the '90s. After the show ended in 2000, she was a regular in the Amanda Bynes sitcom "What I Like About You" and reprised her role of Kelly for the "90210" spin-off in 2008-10. Her most recent role came alongside her "90210" co-star Tori Spelling in the ABC Family sitcom "Mystery Girls," which ran for 10 episodes in the summer of 2014.
Ian Ziering played Steve Sanders, who went from a light-hearted, brash, rich kid to a more mature character during the actor's run on all 10 of the show's seasons.
Ziering has appeared in several TV shows following "90210," including joining former castmates Garth on "What I Like About You" and Priestley for "Side Order of Life." He also made the semifinal round in season four of "Dancing with the Stars" in 2007, appeared in the indie drama "McKenna Shoots for the Stars" and made a cameo in the Adam Sandler-Andy Samberg comedy "That's My Boy." But his most infamous role came in the SyFy channel's instant cult classic "Sharknado" in 2013. He also reprised his "Sharknado" role in the sequels "Sharknado 2: The Second One" and "Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!"
Tori Spelling, the daughter of the show's producer, Aaron Spelling, played Donna Martin for the show's entire run, with her character enduring a stalker, attempted rape and addiction. Donna first dated David Silver (Brian Austin Green) in high school and after many ups and downs they finally married in the show's finale.
Spelling became known for a string of TV movies in the 1990s, including "Co-Ed Call Girl" and "Mother, May I Sleep with Danger?" Following "Beverly Hills, 90210," her roles included "Scary Movie 2" and several reality TV shows focusing on her and her husband, actor Dean McDermott. She also returned for a two-episode guest spot on the "90210" spin-off in 2009. She's also released five books and designs and markets her own line of fashion jewelry on HSN. She also reteamed with Jennie Garth for the ABC Family sitcom "Mystery Girls" during the summer of 2014.
Brian Austin Green played David Silver, the "in" kid at West Beverly High School. Although David and Donna married at the end of the series, during Spelling's stint on the new series it's revealed the couple separated shortly after the birth of her daughter.
Green most recently made headlines when he and his wife, Megan Fox, announced their split in August 2015. Since "90210," he has starred in the sitcom "Freddie" and the TV sci-fi action series "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles." He also had a recurring role on the ninth season of "Smallville" as the cyborg Metallo, was a regular on "Desperate Housewives" in 2010-11 and starred on the lone season of the TBS sitcom "Wedding Band." After appearing in a couple early episodes of Charlie Sheen's sitcom "Anger Management," he became a regular on the series in June 2013 through its series finale in late 2014.
Luke Perry played Dylan McKay, a high school loner who falls in with the group. Dylan had various relationships with Brenda and Kelly in high school and reunited with Kelly in the series finale. In the spin-off, it was revealed that they'd gone their separate ways, though they also share a son.
Perry left the show in 1995 to seek more mature roles, but returned after three years. His other credits include the movies "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "8 Seconds" and "The Fifth Element." His list of TV roles is much longer, including the post-apocalyptic series "Jeremiah" the HBO series "John from Cincinnati" and guest spots on shows like "Oz," "Law & Order: SVU," "Criminal Minds," "Raising Hope" and "Body of Proof." He starred in the Jason Priestley-directed Hallmark Channel western "Goodnight for Justice" in January 2011, and two sequels.
Gabrielle Carteris was cast to play the 16-year-old Andrea Zuckerman when she was 29, becoming the show's oldest "teen" castmate. Andrea was a studious school newspaper editor during her first few seasons on the show, but her character was written off the show after the fifth season.
After leaving the show, Carteris became the host of her own TV talk show, "Gabrielle," which lasted only one season. She has since had guest spots on the TV series "The Surreal Life," "Criminal Minds," "The Event," "Make It or Break It," "The Middle" and "Longmire."
Tiffani-Amber Thiessen was already well-known to audiences from her role of Kelly Kapowski on "Saved By the Bell" when she essentially replaced Doherty following the fourth season. Thiessen portrayed Valerie Malone, an old Walsh-family friend from Buffalo, N.Y., who moves into Brenda's old room. She was a regular through the ninth season and returned for the series finale in 2000.
Now going by Tiffani Thiessen, she appeared in TV shows like "Just Shoot Me," "Fastlane," "Good Morning, Miami," and "What About Brian?" after leaving "Beverly Hills, 90210." From 2009 to 2014 she starred on the USA Network dramatic series "White Collar." She recently launched her own Cooking Channel series, "Dinner at Tiffani's," which saw her preparing dinner with a different group of celebrity friends each episode.
James Eckhouse played Brenda and Brandon's father, Jim Walsh. After the Walsh parents were written off as moving to Hong Kong following the fifth season, he made occasional guest appearances in the sixth, seventh and eighth seasons. Eckhouse has since had mostly bit parts in TV shows like "CSI: Miami," "The Good Wife," "Days of Our Lives," "Masters of Sex," NCIS: New Orleans," "Major Crimes" and "Castle." He also had a minor role playing a senator in the 2012 summer superhero blockbuster "The Avengers."
Carol Potter played the Walsh matriarch, Cindy Walsh, but like Eckhouse left the show following the fifth season. Since "90210," Potter has had guest appearances on many TV shows including "NYPD Blue," "JAG," "Crossing Jordan" and "Providence." Potter most recently appeared in episodes of "Greek" and "Medium" in 2009.
Joe E. Tata played Nat Bussichio, a former Hollywood character actor and the owner of the Peach Pit, a 1950s-styled diner where the gang hangs out. Tata reprised his role on the spin-off series "90210" during a three-episode stint in 2008. He also made a 2001 appearance on "Charmed" and guest-starred on an episode of "Mystery Girls" alongside Tori Spelling and Jennie Garth in 2014.
Kathleen Robertson played Clare Arnold and appeared in 99 episodes from 1994 through 1997. Robertson has since had big-screen roles in "Scary Movie 2," "I Am Sam" and "Hollywoodland." She's also worked regularly on TV, most recently as a regular on the Starz drama "Boss" and in stints on "Bates Motel" and "Murder in the First."
Lindsay Price joined the show during the eighth season, playing Janet Sosna. Price also starred on the short-lived American version of "Coupling" as well as other TV series like "Pepper Dennis," "Lipstick Jungle" and "Eastwick." She's also recently had guest roles on the TV series "Two and a Half Men," "Hawaii Five-0," "Major Crimes" and "Black-ish."
Mark D. Espinoza played Jesse Vasquez, a lawyer who ends up marrying Andrea, during the fourth and fifth seasons. Since the show, Espinoza has continued to work in TV, with bit parts in shows like "Parenthood," "Castle," "Scandal," "Body of Proof" and "The Carmichael Show." He's also done stints on both "The Young and the Restless" and "Days of Our Lives."
Jamie Walters first big role was on Aaron Spelling's "The Heights," in which he also sang the hit theme song "How Do You Talk to an Angel?" In 1994, Spelling cast him on "90210" as Ray Pruit, the musician-boyfriend of Donna. Walters stuck around for two seasons before leaving to focus on his music career. He's released three albums and in 2009 appeared on the VH1 reality show "Confessions of a Teen Idol."
After six years on "General Hospital," Vanessa Marcil left the show to play "90210's" Gina Kincaid in 1998. Marcil has also appeared in "The Rock" opposite Nic Cage and Sean Connery and was a regular on the NBC drama "Las Vegas." She's returned to "General Hospital" for several stints since "90210" ended, including full-time roles in 2002-03 and 2010-11, and a guest role in April 2013. She most recently appeared in the 2014 TV movies "Stranded in Paradise" and "Borrowed Moments."
Emma Caulfield played Susan Keats for 30 episodes of "90210" during the sixth season. She would go on to star as the demon Anya in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" TV series. Her other post-"90210" roles include stints on TV series like "General Hospital," "Life Unexpected" and "Gigantic" and bit parts on shows such as "Once Upon a Time," "Royal Pains" and "Husbands."
Rebecca Gayheart is probably better remembered for her series of commercials for Noxema in the early 1990s, which earned her the nickname "The Noxema Girl." On "90210," she played Toni Marchette, who married Dylan during season six, but was killed by her father in a hit meant for Dylan. Shown here with her husband, actor Eric Dane, Gayheart's post-"90210" roles include stints on TV shows like "Wasteland," "Dead Like Me" and "Ugly Betty." She most recently appeared in the 2013 indie comedy "G.B.F."
Hilary Swank had a recurring role during season eight as single-mother Carly Reynolds. Swank has since gone on to an award-winning movie career, including roles in "Boys Don't Cry" and "Million Dollar Baby."
Before playing Superman on "Lois & Clark," Dean Cain played Rick, an American student who has a short-lived fling with Brenda in Paris over four episodes in season three. Cain has stayed busy in recent years, with more than 70 credits to his name since "Lois & Clark," including a recurring roles on "Las Vegas" and "Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23" and guest spots on "Burn Notice" and "Criminal Minds." He's also set to return to the superhero franchise that made him famous, playing Jeremiah Danvers, the foster father of Kara Danvers/Supergirl (played by Melissa Benoist) on the TV series "Supergirl."
Peter Krause would go on to star in "Sports Night," "Six Feet Under" and "Parenthood," but in 1992 he appeared in three episodes of "90210" as Jay Thurman, a short-lived boyfriend of Andrea's.
TV audiences know him better for his role as Jin Kwon on "Lost" and now "Hawaii Five-O's" Chin Ho Kelly, but in 1997, Daniel Dae Kim appeared briefly on two episodes as Dr. Sturla, who treated Kelly after she was hit in a drive-by shooting.
Before she rose to fame, Jessica Alba had a two-episode stint on "90210" in 1998 as Leanne, a homophobic young mother who rethinks her decision to give her child up for adoption to a gay couple.
Alba and Swank weren't the only stars to get a start in bit parts on "90210." Stars who appeared on the show early in their careers included David Arquette, as an abusive boyfriend with a fondness for leather jackets ...
... Seth Green as a nerdy Encino, Calif., high school student who double dates with Brenda and Kelly ...
... Matthew Perry as an overachieving high school tennis star with a dark streak ...
... and Ryan Seacrest as the host of a local TV station's dating game show.

Let's try a Tom Swifty thread.
Tom Swiftys are named after the Tom Swift American adventure novels. The author Victor Appleton (Edward L. Stratemeyer or Howard Garis in Stratemeyer's employ) would always describe every action with an adverb: Tom never just said anything, he said it carefully, excitedly, eagerly, etc. A Tom Swifty is a particular type of pun centering on the adverb in the following formula:
"You should go clean the lawn," Tom said rakishly.
"I hate being on welfare," Tom said dolefully.
"Those knives are dangerous," Tom said pointedly.
- from www.wikipedia.org
As stated above, a Tom Swifty contains a pun. Good ones may contain two or three puns! As always, brevity is the soul of wit.

"You'll never get me to a proctologist!" Tom said testily.
Ummm, you _did_ mean a urologist?
Unless perhaps you wanted "...never get me to a proctologist, he said acidly."
Which brings to mind the old saying, "Don't start vast projects with half-vast ideas..."

Finding a room is rarely difficult – in areas that are not overly touristy the cheap places to stay are usually concentrated around the main plaza (the zócalo), with others near the market, train station or bus station (or where the bus station used to be, before it moved to the outskirts of town). In bigger cities, there's usually a relatively small area in which you'll find the bulk of the less expensive possibilities. The more modern and expensive places often lie on the outskirts of towns, accessible only by car or taxi. The only times you're likely to have big problems finding somewhere to stay are in coastal resorts over the peak Christmas season, at Easter, on Mexican holidays and almost anywhere during a local fiesta, when it's well worth trying to reserve ahead.
Mexican hotels may describe themselves as anything from paradores, posadas and casas de huéspedes to plain hoteles, all terms that are used more or less interchangeably. A parador is totally unrelated to its upmarket Spanish namesake, for example, and although in theory a casa de huéspedes means a small cheap place like a guesthouse, you won't find this necessarily to be the case.
All rooms should have an official price displayed. A room with one double bed (cama matrimonial) is almost always cheaper than a room with two singles (doble or con dos camas), and most hotels have large "family" rooms with several beds, which are tremendous value for groups. In the big resorts, there are lots of apartments that sleep six or more and include cooking facilities, for yet more savings. A little gentle haggling rarely goes amiss, and many places will have some rooms that cost less, so just ask ("Tiene un cuarto mas barato?").
Air conditioning (aire acondicionado) is a feature that inflates prices – it is frequently optional. Unless it's unbearably hot and humid, a room with a simple ceiling fan (ventilador) is generally better. In winter, especially at altitude or in the desert, it will of course be heating rather than cooling that you want – if there isn't any, make sure there's enough bedding and ask for extra blankets if necessary.
When looking at a room, you should always check its insect proofing. Cockroaches and ants are common, and there's not much you can do about them, but decent netting will keep mosquitoes out.
Campsites, hammocks and cabañas
Camping is easy enough if you are hiking in the backcountry, or happy simply to crash on a beach, but robberies are common, especially in places with a lot of tourists. There are very few organized campsites, and those that do exist are first and foremost trailer parks, not particularly pleasant to pitch tents in. Of course, if you have a van or RV you can use these or park just about anywhere else – there are a good number of facilities in the well-travelled areas, especially down the Pacific coast and Baja.
If you're planning to do a lot of camping, an international camping card is a good investment, serving as useful ID and getting you discounts at member sites. It is available from home motoring organizations.
In a lot of less official campsites, you will be able to rent a hammock and a place to sling it for the same price as pitching a tent (around US$5–10/£3–7), maybe less, especially if you're packing your own hammock (Mexico is a good place to buy these, especially in and around Mérida in the Yucatán).
Beach huts, or cabañas, are found at the more rustic, backpacker-oriented beach resorts, and sometimes inland. Usually just a wooden or palm-frond shack with a hammock slung up inside (or a place to sling your own), they are frequently without electricity, though as a resort gets more popular, they tend to transform into sturdier beach bungalows with modern conveniences and higher prices. At backwaters and beaches too untouristed for even cabañas, you should still be able to sling a hammock somewhere (probably the local bar or restaurant, where the palapa serves as shelter and shade).
Hostels and homestays
There are 22 official youth hostels in Mexico. A YH card is not usually necessary, but you often pay slightly more without one. Rules are strict in some places (single-sex dorms, no booze, 11pm curfew, up and out by 9am) but others are open 24 hours and provide kitchen facilities, laundry, travel advice, internet and other services. At holiday periods they may be taken over by Mexican groups. There's a list of the official youth hostels (with contact details, prices, location maps and online booking), on the HIM website (whostellingmexico.com), but most hostels are not YHA-affiliated, and generally have mixed dorms, liberal alcohol policies and no curfews.
You may also be able to find a homestay in Mexico through wairbnb.com.

Ancient civilizations who used tree bark and stone to tell stories would have never had the notion that books as they knew them would be mass-produced on a printing press ages later.
It is doubtful that those modern book publishers from the early 13th century would have had a clue that their new invention would later evolve into a device where the words and pictures seemingly appear out of the air.
Throughout time, books have been a mainstay -- a source of information and a playground for the imagination.
Books provide an opportunity to visit exotic locations without needing to pack a bag or obtain a passport. They offer travel and adventure to mythical places without leaving the home.
"Reading can take you any place you want to go," said kindergarten teacher Lynnette Albertson. "Appreciating an author's craft is like a painting with words. Each word is like a brush stroke of a painting."
"With reading, you've got to put something into it," said No. 1 New York Times bestselling author Nelson DeMille, comparing the way television or a movie comes at the viewer. "It's not coming at you. You have to go into it, and it trains the brain differently."
DeMille has written more than 20 thriller novels. In his most recent book, "The Quest," his version of the search for the Holy Grail, he takes readers into the jungles of Ethiopia for one of history's greatest mysteries.
"You've got to think about it. You've got to use your imagination to create what the author is telling you about," DeMille said.
October is National Book Month. All that is needed is an open mind and an open book.

Dillon Goes for Record Fourth Consecutive Pole
June 13, 2013
What do Sam Ard, Trevor Bayne, Austin Dillon, Jeff Gordon, Mark Martin and Michael Waltrip have in common?
All six drivers have won three consecutive Pole Awards in the NASCAR Nationwide Series, a record in the series.
Only one of them, however, has an opportunity to break the six-way tie with a fourth consecutive pole this Saturday for the Alliance Truck Parts 250 at Michigan International Speedway.
Dillon, who is fourth in the standings behind leader Regan Smith, arrives in Michigan with a streak of three consecutive poles (Charlotte, Dover, Iowa).
His three poles in 2013 already match Dillon's career high from a year ago. His first pole in the series came last year at Michigan. He went on to finish the race fifth. Dillon was able to capitalize on his other two poles last season by posting a win in both races at Kentucky.
Dillon's only other series start at the two-mile track in Brooklyn, Mich., was 39th in 2009. He improved on his starting position by finishing 19th in that race. In 2010, he also captured a pole at the track in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and finished fifth.

Lookalikes of Prince William and a pregnant Kate Middleton faked out the London media on Friday.
With hordes of cameras and reporters staked out in front of St. Mary's Hospital, where Kate is expected to deliver the royal baby any day now, the Will and Kate impersonators sparked a literal media frenzy when they approached.
"William" was dressed in khakis and a button-up shirt, while "Kate" wore a beige trench coat concealing her baby bump.
Entering the hospital's Lindo Wing, they re-emerged with T-shirts bearing the logo of London tabloid The Sun.
Turns out, the newspaper had sent the lookalikes there on purpose in an advertising stunt.

Ignoring the Rumors on a Ramble up the California Coast
It's about 226 miles to Cambria, we've got a full tank of gas, a hot thermos of coffee, it's dark (and so late it's nearly early) and we're not wearing our sunglasses. Hit it.
We're heading up the coast to meet old college friends for a long weekend in Cambria and Paso Robles – oh yes, there will be wine! …and local micro breweries and gourmet food and live jazz and…yeah, it's that kind of place. Having finished my half of the driving duties up through Gaviota Pass I am free to blog about baseball for the rest of the ride so long as I keep my husband awake and entertained sharing news articles and your blogs.
The only problem? Ugh! After the news and rumors today I don't want to blog about baseball. Manny!?! Yes, I know the rumors have been linking his name with the Angels off and on all offseason but now they're starting to sound serious. I do not want Manny Ramirez on the Angels. I don't care if he does hit a ton every third season or so. I like baseball players, not drama queens. Let Manny be a diva…er…I mean Manny anywhere else. The thought of Manny in an Angels uniform is enough to make that optimism I was starting to feel dry up again for a while. If they really want to sign an aging DH with no real ability to play the outfield anymore, sign Vladdy please. Professional, clubhouse leader, not a diva bone in his body, swing at anything and hit it more often than anyone rationally should be able to Vladdy.
So enough thinking about baseball for one evening if the rumors only annoy me, right? Okay, then music it is. I just noticed that there is a profound lack of Journey on the radio stations in SLO county this evening. Now anywhere else in the country this would be business as usual. But this year, from the Northern most tip of Santa Barbara up through Paso Robles (and I would assume all the way up the coast to San Francisco) the amount of Journey on the radio stations increased exponentially with the Giants fortunes as the season progressed. The last time we were up here, during the playoffs, Don't Stop Believin', Lights and the like were like Law and Order reruns on basic cable – at any given moment, they were playing on at least one station. Not so tonight. This is almost eerie. Can it be they've finally tired of it? …Yeah, back to baseball and still annoyed thinking about the Manny rumors. This isn't working.
Let's try this again. This is an absolutely gorgeous drive, even late at night. Ocean, forest, orchards, vineyards, plenty of reminders that California is a huge state with far more farms and open spaces than city even still…though that is changing slowly but surely. The cities stretch just a little bit further every year. Driving up here late after work is great because then you don't eat up four hours of your day off getting to the vacation. The only drawback? Bring your own coffee because, seriously, trying to find decent coffee in Santa Maria or thereabouts after one in the morning is kind of like Mariano Rivera blowing a save. It's technically possible. You've heard of it happening before. It may even have happened once or twice while you were watching. But just how often does it happen really? Yeah, I have a one track mind this evening and this is a lost cause. Okay that's it. I'm putting this post away and thinking about friends and wine for the rest of the evening…er…morning.
And, of course, what song came on the radio right as I was about to put down the Blackberry? Yep, you guessed it. Uprising by Muse. Haunted I tell you. Well at least it isn't Don't Stop Believin' because even if Giants fans aren't tired of it, I am.😉
Have a nice weekend everyone!

I love Cambria! It has been a while since I"ve been there but we used to go there with some friends, stay for the weekend and hit the wineries in Paso Robles! I am sure you will have a lot of fun!
The times that I got to talk to Manny he was the nicest! really! the first time my friends and I had driven to Camelback for Spring Training. We had parked the car and who's car had we parked next to? Manny. He was the nicest then.
Wish I was in Cambria but soon I'll take a day off and drive to Santa Barbara for the day. In fact a few of us on train were talking about taking the train for the day very soon.
I'm trying to think of a decent place to stop for coffee in Northern Santa Barbara County and can't. You're right! But the weather's just about perfect so there's that. As for Manny, I'd rather have Vlad too, but maybe he can still hit and maybe he's matured and maybe….Okay, I'm out of maybes. LOL
But "Don't Stop Believin" is the '05 White Sox song! Ah… it's all the same glam rock. Sounds like a nice area you were driving through… and did you say… WINE?
What?!? Manny did you say? Thats a rumour? Yes I heard it too and it still makes me want to vomit thinking of him in our reds.
Enjoy the wine and the wonderful area. And Journey's girl can't help it song would be a good one. 🙂
I guess I am mellowing in my older advanced stage of senility, but for some odd reason, Manny doesn't act like Manny anymore.
Maybe it was a reality check of a 50-game vacation, or possibly a Dodger Blue moment that finally had the alarm clock ring within thew hair ringlets of Ramirez.
Still think the guy hits the AL like a train, and has something to prove toa certain team in the Northeast, well possibly two teams.
It could be the surprise MLB move of the year by September, or just another blown public relations bombshell to one day be a footnote on a Baseball Hall of Fame plaque….pick your poison carefully…Manny does.
Rays Renegade
Emma – That's good to know about Manny. If he's a sweetie in person, that actually softens me up a fair bit. Santa Barbara would be fun too. I've never been wine tasting there and really should go because it's closer, but my in-laws have a house up here so we tend to be Cambria/Paso Robles oriented for practical reasons.
Jane – I'm sure there are decent coffee places when we're not travelling at such an indecent hour and yeah, the view form up there is definitely envy inspiring. Those are a lot of maybes but fortunately from my perspective they are now someone else's maybes. Wow, step away from the computer for one day and deals start flying left and right.
Jeff – Yes, wine. Over 200 vineyards, many of them quite yummy…gotta love my technical wine tasting terms there, don't ya?
Russel – Thanks!
Ron – I hadn't even noticed the Angels email announcement until I read your comment. I guess I got really into the vacation. My initial reaction was more than a little pouty because they've underused Mike Napoli and now they're trading him, but I love the idea of getting rid of Juan Rivera and think we're getting a good if overpaid player in return. I'll blog about it tonight or tomorrow.
Lance – Apparently it was just a rumor. Interesting news all around today. Wow, I step away from the news site for one day and look at all the deals that happen.
Rays Renegade – I am certain you are about as far from senile as they come and your observations are usually more than sound. If you think there's potential for him putting together a decent season, then I will watch with interest. Now that your Rays have Manny and Johnny Damon too, well, if both of their bats light up this season like they can, that could be a potent combination. I am getting the sense this is going to a fun season all around.

Empire of the Sun
Buzz about Empire of the Sun's over-the-top live production preceded its arrival Tuesday night at Summerfest's Miller Lite Oasis. The electronic-focused Australian group didn't disappoint on that front early in the headlining set. After a 10-minute bass-pounding, Daft Punk-sampling set from DJ Rik Fade, neon light-wrapped dancers twirled across a stage bathed in the blue glow of a bright LED screen. "Old Flavours" was an intense spectacle of bouncy synthesizers, throbbing beats and blinding lights. »Read Full Article(1)

More minions? 'Despicable Me 2' says yes — fortunately
After witnessing Gru transform from a super-villain to a super-dad with a Play-Doh heart at the end of 2010's "Despicable Me," there was just no way there wouldn't be a sequel.
And "Despicable Me 2," which opens in theaters Wednesday, is better than the original — but not for its storytelling. The 98-minute movie replaces things like plot details with what the audience is clearly more interested in seeing: minions, adorable daddy-daughter moments (Gru, voiced by Steve Carell, dressing up as a "Gruzinklebell" princess for Agnes' birthday) — and of course, for Gru to find the girls a mommy. »Read Full Article

A 14-year-old brain surgery patient is aiming to make the holidays a little brighter for her fellow patients.
Savannah Day suffers from hemiplegic migraines and recently underwent brain surgery at Cincinnati Children's Hospital. Day asked her sisters and friends to help her spread holiday cheer by asking them to donate a toy, reports TheIndyChannel.com. The girls gathered more than 4,000 toys, loaded them on a tractor-trailer and brought them to the children's hospital for all the patients who have to spend their Christmas in the hospital.
Day has been shown tremendous support through her battle and told the TheIndyChannel that she hopes the other patients "know someone cares about them" as well.

An Iowa woman who hurt herself walking into a glass panel at Culver's is suing the restaurant for physical and emotional trauma.
Chicago resident Mary T. McCarthy claims the restaurant in Coralville was negligent by not properly marking the panel, the Iowa City Press-Citizen reported.
"Essentially there should been some kind of markings on it -- a decal, a bar across -- something to indicate this was not open space," her attorney, George Appleby, told the newspaper.
McCarthy is seeking an unspecified amount in damages.
According to the lawsuit, she attempted to walk through what she believed was an opening next to the exit door while eating at the restaurant in December 2011.
McCarthy claims she dislocated her jaw, broke her nose, tore a rotator cuff and suffered neck and back injuries as a result, in addition to emotional trauma.
The restaurant's general manager told the Press-Citizen he was unaware of the lawsuit and could not comment.

A South Carolina man has been charged with taking about $19,000 in Girl Scout cookies from a warehouse.
37-year-old Christopher Maurice Morton from Spartanburg is accused of swiping the cookies, reports The Associated Press. He was a truck driver for the business but has since been fired.
The owner of Carey Moving and Storage reported more than 450 cases of Girl Scout cookies were taken from its facilities Feb. 26.
Brian Carey said cookies began arriving at the warehouse Feb. 15, and employees doing an inventory last week realized that cases of Thin Mints and Shortbreads were missing.
Morton is charged with breach of trust more than $10,000.

Seattle is known for its heavy downpours and a handful of snow during the winter. But this week, the Rain City transformed a park into a winter dreamland to break a world record.
About 30 truckloads of snow were hauled inside the Seattle Center, with 5,384 snow-lovers ready to engage in the world's biggest snowball fight. Thousands of fist-sized snow bombs rained down onto the park as participants threw snowballs at each other.
Though strange to the winter game, the Seattleites snatched the Guinness World Record from South Korea, which only have 5,387 participants in 2010.
Seattle's artificial snow day also raised $50,000 that would benefit the Boys and Girls Club of King County. Many interested groups paid to construct snow forts, snow slides, and even toilets at the event.
Since posting, the video received more than 333,000 views on YouTube.

Pamper Yourself
Sort By:
Spa products stem from long traditions of personal hygiene, both natural and societal. Designed to be used independently, our collection features products that are usually used to maintain a kempt appearance while away from home at school or work. After all, as time has evolved, organized society has introduced an image-consciousness that has made way for billion-dollar health and beauty industries worldwide. That is not a bad thing though, people often report feeling relaxed while being pampered, especially if someone else is washing or brushing their hair. And why not? Showing others that you care about appearances is just another example of how we show respect to one another. Extend this to your target audience and maximize the caring and loving personality of your brand to create impressions that can last a lifetime.

J. Cole takes on the challenge
A battle is brewing in hip-hop: a battle of talent, a battle of ego and a battle for critical and commercial superiority. And Jermaine Cole, the 28-year-old, German-born North Carolina artist known as J. Cole, is on the front lines.
In August, a Big Sean song called "Control" was released online and to radio, and a verse from rising rapper Kendrick Lamar ignited a firestorm, naming his competitors and essentially declaring war. And Cole's name was called out first. »Read Full Article
