id you know that located on the third level of Destiny USA is WonderWorks? An indoor amusement park, featuring over 100 hands on exhibits, a huge, black light lazer-tag arena and indoor ropes challenge course.
At first sight, the building entrance might not be like anything you've seen before. Yes, it actually is upside-down. Fortunately for you, there's a way to fix that. However, it's not the building that's going to be realigned—it's you. Pass through the inversion tunnel and start your adventure! Become a human lightning rod as you touch 100,000 volts of electricity and hold on tight as you try to withstand category 1 hurricane force winds up to 71 mph! Then, head into the physical challenge lab where you can lie down on a bed of 3,500 nails, play virtual sports and experience a 4D extreme motion ride. Remember the good ol' days on the playground swing sets, trying to swing as high and hard as you could to eventually make a complete 360 degree spin? Did you ever make it? Well, how about giving it a go on the Xtreme 360 bikes. The harder you pedal, the more momentum you create, making a full revolution more than possible. Next, navigate the skies in one of the United States Army's most legendary machines — the Apache Helicopter. Let's take the adventure to space. But before you go, you need to take the Astronaut

Training Challenge. This two-person gyroscope will spin and rotate in random directions as it simulates the zero-gravity effect that outer space has on the human body. You think you have what it takes? What's an amusement park without a rollercoaster? But how can a rollercoaster fit indoors? If you haven't guessed, it's a virtual coaster. Feel the thrills and chills that you would on a real rollercoaster as the virtual simulator takes you on an exhilarating ride. Buckle up as the vessel closes and you experience 360 degrees of pitch and roll motions, flips, backward movements and more! WonderWorks Syracuse is also home to the world's largest indoor, suspended ropes course. Standing 70 feet tall, this course gives all who are brave enough a chance to reach new heights and conquer fears. With over 81 different obstacles and activities, this attraction will give you an adrenaline rush. WonderWorks is an awesome off-campus adventure. It's a great place for student organizations to host teambuilding events and special functions. Trust and self-belief are very important characteristics. What better way to build on those by climbing up 70 feet into the air with your colleagues and peers.

Rudy's, right on Lake Ontario, serves the best seafood in Oswegotown and has a view that is second to none. There is an indoor sitting TAKE option, but few elect to eat inside unless the weather is poor. Down the road nearby is Bev's, a small ice cream shop on the lake, if you want to change spots for dessert.
Oriental House of Syracuse
Beer Belly Deli & Pub Where: 510 Westcott St., Syracuse When: 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Monday-Sunday
Where: 1706 Erie Blvd. E., Syracuse When: 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday-Friday
Recess Coffee Where: 110 Harvard Place, Syracuse When: 7 a.m. to midnight Monday-Sunday Just a little over a mile away from the Syracuse University campus lies the Westcott neighborhood. The area contains a subculture of art, music and food removed from downtown and a break from all of the bodies clogging Marshall Street. Centered on Westcott Street, the neighborhood has much to offer. Whether you are in the market for vintage clothes, need a cup of coffee or good beer or need someone to fix your bike, Westcott is the place. My favorites are Beer Belly Deli & Pub and Recess Coffee. With a rotating draught selection and food for both vegetarians and carnivores, Beer Belly offers a casual setting. The music is always at the perfect volume. My friends and I frequently go to drink away the stresses of our burgeoning grad-school careers, and we never have to shout over some ridiculously loud Drake song. The staff is always friendly, and the beer is always fresh and changes regularly. They also serve Recess Coffee, which is located across from Beer Belly. Recess Coffee roasts all of its own beans in-house. It has free Wi-Fi and plenty of tables and comfy chairs to hunker down and get your assignments done. It has a selection of vegan pastries in addition to the run of the mill brownie or muffin, which are also quite tasty. After a long night at Beer Belly, Recess has what you need to get back to studying. — Dianna Bell, Syracuse University

All Night Egg Plant Where: 5781 Bridge St., East Syracuse . When: 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday-Thursday; 7 a.m. to 1 a.m. Friday-Saturday; 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. When you can't stand to have pizza for yet another day, stop by the All Night Egg Plant, where you can find a delicious meal waiting for you at a decent price: Nothing on the menu is more than $11.75. While the restaurant might not actually serve eggplant or even look like the typical diner with booths and a 1950s vibe, the food is so good you won't care. Once you walk through the doors, you're welcomed with big smiles from the waitresses who make you feel like you've walked through them a million times before. The quaint diner, furnished
BREWSTER INN Where: 6 Ledyard Ave., Cazenovia When: 24 hours — it's an inn. Dinner, 5 to 9 p.m. daily; brunch, 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Sunday.
in all wood with a "ma and pa" atmosphere, is the perfect homey spot to catch a late night bite or some breakfast . . . particularly breakfast. I recommend the egg and sausage "sammich." The egg is the perfect balance between runny and well done. Add hot sauce to give it a little more zest. The pancakes are off the charts. The Egg Plant is a quiet spot to study during the week and grab a bite to eat. — Amari D. Pollard, Le Moyne College
For students coming to college from out of the country or students used to certain cultural foods, Oriental House of Syracuse may be the ideal destination. The aisles are stacked with foods from places like the Caribbean, India, China, Korea and Thailand. The store specializes in fish and meats, so it always smells like a mixture of fish, salt and spices, but it's a comforting and familiar smell that makes you feel like you're back home. The owners are super friendly and always willing to help. If you don't see something you want on the racks, ask them if they can get it; you will more than likely see it on the shelves the next time you visit. Although grocery stores in Syracuse have a variety of food options, they lack in the sort of specialty foods available here. So, if you're in the mood for some oxtail or kimchi or roasted seaweed snacks, Oriental House of Syracuse is the destination.
For the nights that I am looking to get dressed up and indulge in a taste of luxury, the Brewster Inn is the place to go. You and your friends can enjoy high-end cuisine right on the lake, sip wine and watch boats cruise in the sunset. There are even hotel rooms, so if you are traveling from afar, don't hesitate to reserve a room. Located behind the Brewster is a peaceful, lush space along the shoreline of the lake where you can take pictures to capture your fancy night out. — JoAnna Armstrong, Cazenovia College
PEWTER SPOON Where: 87 Albany St., Cazenovia When: 7:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday-Saturday; 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday
When I'm feeling overwhelmed from classwork at Cazenovia College, there is nothing better than getting some friends together to enjoy a fresh sandwich or salad at the Pewter Spoon, sometimes missed because of its location in between shops. The environment allows for you to get lost in conversation with your friends. To top it off, they also have freshly baked goodies, teas and lattes. — JoAnna Armstrong, Cazenovia College

Books End Where: 2443 James St., Syracuse When: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday-Saturday; 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. If you're a bookworm, prepare to put down the books when you come to college because you won't be reading for pleasure for a long time. However, that doesn't mean you can't stock up on books while you wait. Books End has stacks and stacks of rare, used, mass market and out-of-print books ranging from 50 cents to $5,000. The front of the bookstore is all glass windows, so from the outside you can see the overwhelming number of books they have in stock. You can find vintage copies of Capote and Cather's work on one shelf and romance novels on another right across the aisle. Syracuse's oldest used bookstore has a comforting and slightly musty smell that makes you feel like you're walking through a grandparent's library. Even if you don't buy a book, Books End is a lovely place to take a break from life and get lost in the shelves for a while. — Amari D. Pollard, Le Moyne College
Modern Pop Culture Where: 306 W. Jefferson St.., Syracuse When: 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday-Wednesday; 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday-Friday; noon to 7 p.m. Saturday. If you're looking for unique, vintage or custom pieces to add to your wardrobe at affordable prices, Modern Pop Culture, a vintage store in Armory Square, is the perfect spot to start. The first things that capture your eyes when you walk in are the mannequins dressed in outfits from the 1970s, '80s and '90s hanging from the walls. It's so easy to get lost among the racks of vintage clothes, trying on outfits, feeling like you just

walked out of a time machine and into a completely new era. And the best part of the store: its great customer service. The owner, Nathan Schafer, is always behind the counter wearing a warm smile and giving great advice on an outfit when you walk out of the dressing room to look in the mirror. At Modern Pop Culture, you can find an '80s color block blazer for $25 or a '90s rainbow inspired wrap-around skirt for $15. With the racks packed with clothes from all eras, the options are endless. — Amari D. Pollard, Le Moyne College
Oswego Cost: matinee (before 6 p.m.), $6, with a $2.50 3D surcharge; evening, $8 for adults, $6 for senior citizens and children 11 or younger, with a $2.50 3D surcharge. In Oswego, there is a small movie theater that costs about $4 less than the big multiplexes. Inside, there are two floors with a main lobby area on the first floor to buy food and drinks. Both the first and second floor have arcade games to play if you're a bit early for your movie. — David Armelino, State University College at Oswego
Oswego State Laker Hockey Where: 16 men's home games at Oswego Campus Center Ice Arena Cost: men's season tickets, $112 (general public); men's single games, $8 (general public). One thing that Oswego is known for is its love of hockey, and for good reason. The men's team is coming off a second straight SUNYAC conference title and a Division III Frozen Four appearance. In Oswego's campus center is a gorgeous ice arena where the men's and women's hockey teams play, as do men's and women's club hockey teams. The men's team features a large following of fans from around the area and within the campus. Every time the team suits up at home, it is all the campus can talk about; some teachers cancel class to catch the action and to let students to do the same. White-Out Weekend, on Feb. 20, is especially a time to celebrate Oswego hockey's winning tradition. The men's and women's teams play host to the State Univesity College at Plattsburgh, their in-conference rival for the most anticipated weekend of the school year. The school store, right across from the ice arena, features special shirts for the event so fans can create a sea of white in the stands. — David Armelino, State University College at Oswego

11 TECH HACKS FOR COLLEGE It's that time again. Time to say goodbye to summer fun while high school kids get a few more weeks of it and adults go to work as usual. This fall, about 18 million people (about 40 percent of 18-24 year olds) just like you are going to load up the station wagon or 747 and head back to campus. Now is the time to say goodbye to friends, romances and family … and to bum-rush the department stores with Mom to get everything you need. These days, more than ever, it wouldn't hurt to take a minute to run through how you are prepared technologically. The New Times came up with these 10 tech hacks to help you do just that:
This is one piece of equipment that is nearly essential. Though on-campus labs are sometimes available, the key word there is "sometimes." You are going to have a paper due tomorrow and have to stay up late to finish it unless you 1) flunk out immediately, 2) are the perfect person and have no randomly demanding teachers, 3) that is impossible and we couldn't think of anything else. So you basically have to be ready to go at all times. Investing in a desktop is a worthy cause: A larger screen and computing capacity is handy. Grabbing a second screen is a good idea also: nothing like research on one side and the Word doc on the other. Your best bet, especially if you have to choose one option, is the laptop: usually lightweight, efficient and mobile. Many professors will allow you to take notes on your laptop in class, and you can study and work anywhere and everywhere. Which to choose? PC Magazine has a nice comparison chart, or check out your local geek store and talk to reps who look like they know something. (This writer prefers Apple products.) You want speed, space, and — in the end — something that works for you.
Buy a kick-ass computer
Hunt down local hot spots
To buy a tablet . . . or not to buy a tablet
The advent of the tablet brought more browser space than your smartphone's (without the call option) and less weight and power-up time than your laptop. Basically, you'll be toting around a little encyclopedia-slash-Netflix TV-slash"I'm on Facebook but it looks like I'm paying attention" machine. If you are looking for word processing software, be sure to grab a keyboard. On-screen keyboards are cumbersome. The Windows Surface tablet has a great one; and Apple has compatible ones, too. Be sure to download all the necessary apps before you go. And don't forget, if you get a Wi-Fi only tablet with no Wi-Fi plan, you are at the mercy of wherever you are. Recommendation: Get a Wi-Fi enabled board if you plan to seriously use that thing. Set up a
schedule. Call home on the same day once a week.
This is pretty obvious, but just in case you are still hung over from whatever happened this summer and forget: You're going (see item 10 ) to need a phone and a plan that fits you. The Sprint Framily thing can save you money (separate bills, don't have to be related to the other people) and there's almost always a student discount you can apply to your bill. Even if that saves you only an extra fiver a month, that's one more shake at Denny's.
S T U D E N T S U R V I VA L G U I D E 2014 | syracusenewtimes.com
No doubt, upperclassmen and -women can help you out with this, but when you get there, not only will you not know anyone, you won't know the area. Where's the best sushi place, the mall, the parks, the hottest bars, the places not to go? Download Yelp, Foursquare and Google "what's good now for college bucket list of stuff to do." Either that or enjoy the ceiling of your dorm room.
Know what you're getting into
Thanks to RateMyProfessor. com and other college review sites, previews of what's coming up have never been so full of online intel. The smart student always reads that stuff with a grain of salt. But, chances are, if there's a large consensus, it's not for nothing. College isn't a game, but you should still have a strategy. Knowing what your professor expects for an "A" should be in the minds of every serious student looking to do well, not only in "the first four years" but the rest of life. Do the research and make it happen.
6The college website
Every college has a website: Some are pretty terrible and others are handy and dandy. Know your way around it. Familiarize yourself with where to go for what info now, before the madness starts in just a few days. Find the maps from building to building: where your classes are when, where the cafeteria is, the gym, football field, the library, etc. Figure out how to use your school email (some of that may be during orientation). Hint: Follow your school on Twitter for more updates, and sign up your email for school closing notifications and all that. You will be happy you did: you and all the rest of the students who didn't go to class on a snow day.
Social media
1) Don't say anything stupid, especially on public sites like Twitter. Saying you want to kill professor soand-so or how much of a "douche" he is won't help you very much. 2) Check your photo-tagging setting on Facebook. Someday, about four years from now, you won't be worried about classes and papers and professors; you're going to need a job to pay off all those college loans. Guess what? Online naked pictures of you blackout-drunk and humping a statue of Benjamin Franklin aren't going to help. Be sure to make sure no one can randomly tag your face in a picture, and try not to do anything so dumb. It's probably going to happen, though. 3) LinkedIn. It's not too early to start beefing up your LinkedIn profile for the same reason as the above: Someday you want to have a job. Even more pressing: most college students engage in some sort of internship for college credit having to do with their major. Look into setting up a profile there now. It will also alert you concerning jobs internationally that are "looking for candidates like you." Take the time and get it done.
Back. Up. Your. Files.
If you've never had this experience, we hope you never do: After 45 cups of coffee, 16 Red Bulls, one mild heart attack and three sleepless nights, you have finally finished that paper. And then your computer dies … forever, like it's never coming back (it's happened); and you are ready to go with it. Be smart, back up your stuff. Thanks to handy software like Dropbox, Google Drive, and other cloud systems, you can automatically do just that. It takes a few minutes to download and familiarize yourself with it, but it could save your life. You can thank me later.
Digital entertainment
Since life — including college — is not about being serious all the time, you're going to need an outlet to relax.
Enter music, TV and movies. Spotify has become the favorite of music streamers, saving you tons on buying the titles on iTunes, and it is more selective and social than Pandora. For about $10 a month, you can listen to whatever you want. Your lists download automatically to your phone, so you don't have to waste data. Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu and HBO Go are all battling to get your subscription, as well. Binge-watching a season of your favorite show never felt so good after you just got all your work done for the week. Notice the order of events there. Enough said.
Keep in touch
"Facetiming" people you love back home — Mom and Dad, Grandma and Grandpa, your siblings, your buddies, your long-distance relationship — might mean more or less to you, but given that nearly everyone has a smartphone or computer, there really is no excuse for failing to stay in touch. Seeing your face will mean a lot to them; you've never been gone this long before, and they miss you. Take a few minutes to set up Skype, Tango or what have you on your own phone/computer and spend time showing your loved ones how to do it, too. Do it for Mom.
Take advantage
The next four years or so — depending on grad school — will be unlike any other in your entire life. The friends you make will be connected to you for life, and not just on Facebook; the memories you make will shape the adult you will be; the fun you have won't be tied down by the mortgage or the kids; and the things you learn, both in books and not — if you put your mind to it — will shape everything about who you are and where you go in the future. Don't screw it up. Have a lot of fun, but remember where you are going. And go there. SNT

NOJAIM BROS. SUPERMARKET he oldest food store in Syracuse in continuous operation by one family is Nojaim Bros. Supermarket, celebrating 95 years in business at its original location in the Near West Side at Gifford and West streets.
"Nearly a century is a long time for any business to survive," says Paul Nojaim, the third generation in his family to operate the market. Over a 100 year period, a lot has changed in terms of how consumers access food, but Nojaim remains true to simple and basic principles. "For three generations we have pledged to provide quality products at reasonable prices and personal service to each and every customer," Nojaim says. In recent years, most supermarkets have become very large and therefore they are reliant on attracting customers from greater distances. The shopping experience can be less personal, and often consumers must have access to a vehicle to travel to these retail destinations. The Nojaim family has resisted this evolution of the grocery industry. "Bigger isn't better, better is better. Our industry has moved in a direction that puts the vehicle first not people, it erodes the historical value that a gro-
cery store had occupied as a central and necessary asset to the community," says Nojaim. Today Nojaim Bros. reaffirms its commitment to the community they have been priviledged to serve for three generations. Renovations are nearly complete at the Gifford and West street store, transforming the market into a modern hub of access to food and nutrition. Innovative nutrition programs will soon launch with key partners St. Joseph's Primary Care West, The Lerner Center for Public Health Promotion, Syracuse University and The Near Westside Initiative, and in collaboration with ROSIE, the 2013 Startups Labs winner, have successfully launched a convenient and fast online shopping platform. If you have experienced bigger and now want to experience better, please shop Nojaim Bros.!

CNY ARTS As the summer winds down, many new and returning college students will be arriving to the Central New York region. We at CNY Arts are always encouraged by the many wonderful exhibitions, performances and programs that are offered at more than 17 institutions of higher education in our region. Our campuses are hubs of arts, cultural and creative activity. From the many clubs that provide a fun and leisurely creative outlet to high quality programming offered at our institutions of higher education, there are a lot of opportunities to enjoy for both students during their time here as well as the general public. The towns and cities that our colleges and universities are located in or nearby offer even more cultural activities to be experienced. I encourage each student spending the next year or more in CNY, to learn more about their communities through arts and culture. I encourage all residents to explore the many cultural opportunities that our higher education institutions provide for us. Everyone may be surprised at what there is to discover in these explorations. Whether looking for something to do with friends or when parents and families visit and for long-time residents looking for something new and different to do, check out gotocnyarts.org for a regional listing of concerts, comedies, theater and much more. Many programs offer discounted tickets to students and you can also find us on Facebook.com/gotocnyarts or Twitter @gotocnyarts, where we often announce ticket specials and free ticket contests. syracusenewtimes.com | S T U D E N T S U R V I VA L G U I D E 2014

e provide the highest quality in modern hairdressing through ongoing education, teamwork, and constant re-creation. Our attitude leaves no room for compromise.
"Hairdressers aren't taught about inspiration — how to look for and use references from film, music, books, and history. They aren't shown how to analyze what is special or intriguing about an individual; they are just taught how to cut hair. When you're styling or cutting, the idea is to recognize the good elements, the things that work, rather than simply choosing a technique or a trick. You need to really look
at a person; use your eye, your touch, your mind, and your emotions to bring out the best of what is there, the challenge, of course, is to develop your eye to have the confidence to do this intuitively." — Michael Gordon. Hairdresser, salon owner and founder, Bumble and Bumble

hen you're shopping for wireless service, it's great to have choices. And here in Central New York, wireless users have several. The one the majority of those users choose is Verizon Wireless.
Verizon Wireless is the largest wireless company in the U.S., employing more than 74,000 people and providing wireless voice and data services to more than 104 million customers nationwide. Recognized as a leader in network quality and reliability, the company operates the largest 4G LTE network in the country. 4G LTE technology, and the innovative products and solutions that ride on it, are changing the mobile landscape and revolutionizing the way people interact with it. Launched in December 2010, the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network is available to more than 300 million people – 98 percent of the U.S. population – in more than 500 markets from coast to coast, including here in Central New York. And the company continues to build on the speed and power of that network by adding capacity to stay ahead of growing customer demand. That additional capacity, called XLTE, boosts network speeds even more. It's available in more than 350 markets. But it's what our customers can do with the power of 4G LTE and XLTE once they've harnessed them that matters most. 4G LTE delivers speeds up to 10 times faster than 3G service, giving users the power to do things never before possible in a wireless environment. Share and stream video in high definition, game in real time, surf seamlessly, download songs and pictures in seconds and movies in minutes – all faster than ever.
And the list of 4G LTE-capable devices keeps growing – from smartphones and tablets to mobile hotspots and smart accessories – giving users the ability to pick and choose the devices that are right for them and their personal wireless lifestyle. It's no secret: Wireless technology is becoming more and more a part of our everyday lives. From school work to shopping, social media to gaming, entertainment to exercise, our mobile devices are always close at hand, helping us manage our day, stay informed, and stay in touch. It's that growing evolution of our mobile lifestyle that led Verizon Wireless to evolve its approach to its retail experience. The company is in the process of converting its more than 1,700 company-owned stores into Smart Stores. The new Smart Store design puts our customers' mobile lifestyles front and center, with products organized in interactive Lifestyle Zones such as: Amplify It – music on the go; Get Fit – devices for staying fit and tracking healthy habits; Have Fun – novel tech gadgets; Home and on the Go – home automation devices and accessories; Anywhere Business – simplifying life for travelers and small businesses; and Customize It – accessories for making a style statement with your device. Remember, when it comes to wireless service, it's the entire ecosystem that matters: the network, the devices, the solutions, and the expertise to pull it all together for you. Visit a local Verizon Wireless store or www.verizonwireless.com to learn more.

BEST ADVICE: CONNECT WITH THE COMMUNITY It's that time of the year: College is back in session. Although we at the Syracuse New Times cannot guarantee your success this school year or how much of the Freshman 15 you're going to accumulate, we can definitely help you enjoy your time. Here are a few tips we've compiled:
Get a parka or all-weather coat
Fact: Exposure to the elements will end you faster than food and water restriction. Fact: Central New York is not a desert; however, snow has the ability to accumulate from October to May. Our rain is ice cold. Campuses are practically wind tunnels. And to keep your hands warm . . .

Coffee (or tea): Your best friend
Friends come and go, but you'll always have hot coffee. With local roasters Cafe Kubal and Recess Coffee near your campuses there is no excuse not to fuel and grab a quick and actually healthy breakfast. Like Goldilocks, you'll realize: Dunkin' is too watery, Starbucks is too burnt and our home varieties are just right.
Some people aren't the cleanest, which may affect you for the better or worse, but keeping your own cooking supplies to use in your residence hall's kitchen area will save a lot of frustration.
Dorm rooms
Keep calm and wash your dishes.
They are on the small side, so getting the trendiest things from retailers may not work to your advantage. The more you buy, the less room you have, and the more stuff you and your parents have to tote back via train, plane or automobile. (Trunks help.)
Where can one begin? Check out Westcott Street for a wide variety of deliciousness, including Alto Cinco and Beer Belly Deli (both are open for Sunday brunch). Travel down West Genesee Street for Phoebe's and Strong Hearts Cafe (also located on Syracuse's campus). Take a bus down, ride through the Connective Corridor to Armory Square.
Get into activities around campus. You'll easily make friends and (maybe) meet your future spouse. SIGN UP TODAY!
Watch your college sports teams in action. We also have the Syracuse Chiefs, Syracuse Crunch and Syracuse Silver Knights, to name a few professional teams. For competive runners, we have races throughout the year.
College campuses have much to offer "for free" (included with tuition), regarding music and movies and clubs. Syracuse Stage, the Landmark Theatre, the Central New York Playhouse and Redhouse Arts Center all offer plays, movies, improv, music and art for your enjoyment.
Syracuse has festivals and activities that go all year round. With your August arrival, you still have time to enjoy Festa Italiana, Irish Festival, Oktoberfest, The Great New York State Fair, Lights on the Lake, the Clinton Square tree lighting (and ice skating) and Winterfest. Remember to check with your colleges to see what perks they have set up with the surrounding community. And, of course, the easiest way to keep updated on everything that's going on in and around Syracuse and Central New York: Pick up your Wednesday edition of Syracuse New Times. SNT

SURGEON GENERAL'S WARNING: Smoking causes Lung Cancer, Heart Disease, Emphysema, And May Complicate Pregnancy.
n electronic cigarette (e-cig or e-cigarette) personal vaporizer is a battery-powered vaporizer that simulates tobacco smoking by producing an aerosol that resembles smoke. It generally uses a heating element known as an atomizer that vaporizes a liquid solution known as e-liquid.
E-Cig Cartomizers: If you're new to the world of vaping, e-cigarette terminology can be a bit difficult at first. But in no time you'll understand the E-Cig jargon of words like "atomizer", and "cartomizer." Originally, electronic cigarettes were three-part devices, made up of a battery, an atomizer and a cartridge, which was filled with e-liquid. But, like in any fast-growing industry, things evolved pretty fast, and soon designers came up with a solution that made using e-cigarettes a lot easier. They decided to compress the atomizer and cartridge into a single unit, called a cartomizer that was easy to screw on to the battery. E-Cig Cartomizers come in varying strengths of nicotine and assorted flavors. A few popular brands of E-cigs and cartomizers are Blue, Cig2-0, and VooDoo. Voodoo vaping products are a leader in quality and purity. E-Pens: Advanced heating technology instantly vaporizes your Voodoo E-Liquid products at a controlled temperature, eliminating the chance of overheating. Simply fill the tank with your choice of e-liquid or oil, press the button, inhale and enjoy. The Voodoo E-Pen does not emit any smoke. All you experience is a cloud-like vapor. Voodoo Personal Vaporizers are available in a variety of finishes and colors with bottom — or top — loading cartomizers. Voodoo Personal Vaporizers are GMP certified and adhere to UL, ROHS, ETL, FCC and FDA guidelines. E-liquid by VooDoo. E-liquid, e-juice or simply "juice" refers to a liquid solution that produces an aerosol when heated by an atomizer. E- Liquid provides extracted flavorings; and optionally, a variable concentration of tobacco-derived nicotine. The solution is often sold in bottles. Use Voodoo E-Liquid to fill your Voodoo E-Pen or fluid tank system, and relish the intense flavor. Huge clouds and quality ingredients pro-
vide the best, satisfying experience. Concentrated flavors will fill your vapors with bursts of rich, true flavors. Quality ingredients provide the most satisfying experience, time after time. Available in 10ml bottles. Available in 2.1% (21mg), 0.6% 6mg, and zero nicotine levels. PREMIUM CIGARS As the largest cigar dealer in upstate New York, Rocky's sees hundreds of customers each week, and many beginners start the same way... pacing back and forth in front of the display at scratching their head, trying to make sense of the vast selection of cigars Rocky's has to offer. The names and the numbers for many brands seem designed to confuse buyers, and one company's Churchill size is another company's double corona. There is no real mystery, once you accept the reality that cigar jargon is confusing. There are, however, certain basic criteria that can be used as guidelines to help select any hand-rolled cigar. The parameters are fairly simple: brand, color and size or shape. Brand name. The brand is the designation the manufacturer gives to a particular line of cigars. Rocy Patel, Partagas, Macanudo, Montecristo and Arturo Fuente are just a few well-known names. You'll find these names on the cigar band. Don't be confused by Cuban Cigar brand names, none at this time are available for sale in the US. So the brands you see are legal version made else where, such as Honduras, or Nicaragua. For more information on cigars and the best ways to enjoy them in Central New York stop by Rocky's Cigars at 447 N. Salina St. , Syracuse, or better yet join Rocky's text club for insider deals and specials. To join text "Rockys" to 24587. syracusenewtimes.com | S T U D E N T S U R V I VA L G U I D E 2014

Chuck Frey has an interesting niche, one you might consider very old-school and probably because of this, not something you have thought about adding to your own business.
Chuck makes money from directories.
Do you remember directories? Those old style sites that list links to websites which you can search or manually dig through?
Chuck suggests that you consider adding a directory – like a resources page with links to relevant websites, tools and products – to your website or blog. This adds value to your site, but can also become an income stream.
As you will learn about in this interview, by charging a price for a premium directory listing, you can add a new and very passive income stream to your blog.
All you need is the traffic to justify charging for an entry in your directory and perhaps a little groundwork to find paying advertisers.
What I really like about this method is that it allows you to monetize an area of your site in a way that most people do not.
I bet if you are a blogger right now you probably have a resources page, which you link through to products and services via your affiliate link.
That's standard advice for bloggers – sell affiliate products via a resources page.
How about charging $1,000 a year for a premium advertisement on your directory resources page, then locking in five to ten sponsors?
You just need them to sign up at the start of the year, pay the annual fee, and that's it. You know how much you are going to earn and receive it up front.
Assuming, of course, you have traffic and deliver clicks to your advertisers, this could become a very stable, low-labour income stream to add to your business. It could be a full-time income source if your site has enough traffic.
If you are confused by any of this, have a listen to the interview with Chuck. We cover all the basics, including how Chuck has made money with his own directory, how he sets things up and how he recommends you get started.
Make sure you check out Business Directory Profits, which is the guide Chuck mentions several times during the interview.
Here's what we talked about during the interview –
This is a short interview but I think you will find the idea worth thinking about.
I'll talk to you again soon,
Yaro Starak

I think pulling-off a successful directory business nowadays is tough, I've tried multiple times and failed but if you can make it a go – one of the easiest ways to generate revenues for sure! Will listen to the interview in my podcast now – thanks Yaro!
My concern over Chuck's idea of incorporating paid directories onto your blog is that many SEO and Internet Marketing professionals are now suggesting that such sites are of little value any more to site's that are advertising here. They say links on someone's site there purely for traffic and ranking purposes, rather than adding useful and informative content is far less valuable than investing that money in a copywriting and producing good content in the form of an article – maybe the opinion that directories are old fashioned is valid. Is there really an avenue in this if the idea is being advised against by so many people?
If you've enough traffic to accomplish such sponsorship and can validate that such reccomendations don't entangle the overall nature or message of your blog then I'd agree this seems a great way to increase your income.
That said – if you've got said traffic then charging a $1000 a spot might be too little by way of comparison to what is achievable through standard affiliate links. Look at Pat on SPI!
Probably the most under-rated way to make affiliate sales.
I've got a resource list in the making, although I won't be using sponsored listings – only tried-and-true stuff that I personally use. Pat Flynn at SPI seems to have incredible success with his. 🙂

Definitely going to add this to my blog when I move it to a self-hosted blog! Also, @Yaro, thanks so much for writing your Blog Profits Blueprint ebook! It's inspired me to start a new blog and hopefully replace my current job! Thanks!
Yaro i'm hooked on your ebook and podcasts and want to turn my blog/mag around
I've always believed in directories and it was the reason i started my blog/ online surf/wakeboarding magazine. It is now the most popular board riding blog in SA (niche)
Unfortunately i suck at sales, and although we have between 4-10k unique (depending on how much time i spend on content) a full directory of all the shops, (i added for free) i have not managed to sell 1 directory listing or add. although Red Bull and Monster contact me to advertise their events a few time a year, i'm hopeless at actively selling.
Do you have any article on sales, once you have a successful blog.. or do i just need to hire a sales person?
Thanks for all the help so far!
I am sorry to say this. But I don't think that having a directory in your blog makes any difference in blogging revenue these days. Directory links don't hold much value nowadays and most of the times people who would like to list their sites are more interested in getting SEO juice than traffic. I don't think people spending this much money are stupid enough not to know the fact that these links don't hold value that much nowadays. However for a niche blog with high traffic, the situation may be different. However, in most cases this idea will fail; according to me.

Here is the biter bit, and it were to be more than human not to smile!
Ugly as the situation is, I like to think of this biting of the biter.
Was he not avenged on the highwayman at last, seeing that the biter was bitten!
It's biter bit, and I don't pity you one mossel; it sarves you right.
The biter; an attempt at Comedy, by Rowe, which was received with that contempt which it well deserved.
So while he stood there and watched, biter went for the water.
Indras, as an ant, is the wounder, the biter of the serpent.
"You will know in future what is meant by the biter being bit," said Jemmy, when the boy returned, crying.
This was a case of the biter being bitten, for the man turned up all right and had to join a party to hunt Ralson.
Innocent-looking patrol boats were sometimes attacked, and, too late, the biter discovered that he was bitten.

Lisheen Castle makes for a memorable stay, as guests experience the whole castle for their own private use. Lisheen Castle stands in the County of Tipperary in the centre of Ireland and so is accessible to many of the most popular tourist sites and attractions.
Entering the castle through the great oak door, guests walk into the beautiful hallway, from which the opulent dining room, receptions rooms and library can all be accessed. Following the long corridor, guests can admire the beautiful ash carved staircase, which leads up to 7 luxury en suite bedrooms.

The Chilton manual online has no pictures and just tells me it is under the instrument panel to the right of the steering column, but I don't see it. Do they look identical to signal flashers? I've replaced signal flashers before, but not hazard flashers.

Miller performance has cracked the obd1 motronic and made it possible to Write and Remap obd1 chips. Now they are strictly bmw but have joined with 034 in development for audi. Now thats all fine and dandy but I want for obd1 abas.. 16vs and vr6 cars(digifant ?). 034 is getting close to releasing the "WAR" chip for audi. I called them today and they asked me to gauge interest from my fellow enthusiasts to develop these chips for obd1 VW engines. Now i am sure this is no HONDATA as the early motronic isn't as advanced as the honda computers.. but it would be a great tool to get your car tuned as close to perfect as possible without the use of standalone. The e30 guys use it to ad boost on m20s so i do not think it would be an issue for adding boost to a vw.
FYI.. i stand to make any money by posting this thread.. just throwing it out there..
More info on the war chip..

I just noticed today that when my wipers are on the periodic setting, there's a clicks once when the wiper starts to move and then once when it comes back to rest. Sound like it's just the switch turning them on and off. Does everyone's do this?(i'm only wondering cause i've never actually heard it in any other car before) If i turn it on the continuous it'll only click when it starts and then once when i turn it back off the continuous and comes to rest again.
Sorry if that doesn't make sense lol tried to explain it as well as possible.

Re: Sabre 30 vs Sabre 32
You can't go wrong with either boat. Go with the one that's in best condition and makes your heart thump. You'll know it when you see it. The rest is details. Do not factor all the miscellaneous gear in your decision, most of it will probably need replacing anyway. Check out the mast step, there may be de-lamination of the cabin sole due to water intrusion and poor mast drainage into the bilge. It was common for Sabres of this vintage but not a structural defect. But the floor may need repair or replacing (as was ours).
Don't worry about the balsa unless there was an obvious injury to the hull (can be seen from the interior). Note that the 32 was cored on the topsides, and not below the waterline. Don't sweat it. I've owned a 28 ('82) and now a 38 ('84), and didn't think twice about the coring.
PM me if you want more details about Sabres of this vintage. Wonderful boats.
Re: Sabre 30 vs Sabre 32
Thanks Sandusky sailor. Glad to hear you think the Sabre 32 is a good design for cruising Lake Erie. I was looking at a Catalina 30 for sale in Sandusky Harbor Marina last week. Hope to be sailing toward your end of the lake in a year or two.
I saw a Sabre 32 I liked that might be worth an offer to get a surveyor's opinion. I'm hoping the 500 mile truck ride to bring it home, won't stress the hull and keel too much.
Here's an example of what you said about uninformed conclusions based on bad information. Owners manual says "balsa core panels are used to strengthen flat sections of the topsides in the forward section of hull." But I see a lot of reference online to the Sabre 32 being a balsa cored hull. Only worry now is that a surveyor might miss a big problem that could become an expensive surprise. If that doesn't happen I'll be hoping to get another 5-10 years out of this old boat.
Re: Sabre 30 vs Sabre 32
I got my information from yachtworld, and those were the listed beam and LWL. After reading your post I sent a personal meassage to the OP with how I determined my information, thank you SanduskySailor for pointing out any error that I have made ~~ james smith
Re: Sabre 30 vs Sabre 32
Where the heck do you guys get your information?? The Sabre 30-1,2,3 have a beam of 10.5. The 32 has a beam of 10.5, the 28 had the beam of 9.17. Please don't make uninformed conclusions from bad information. As a former 28 owner I'm petty familiar with these boats. The 32 had an aft cabin model which was kind of neat and very suitable for Lake Erie where I sail. There are differences between the -1,2,3 models of the 30. My preference would be the 30-3 which has a double spreader rig. My bias is more towards racing. As a cruiser the 32 would be the choice.
The reason the 32 was discontinued was the introduction of the 34-2 which was a lot more boat for the money at the time. In 86 Sabre had the 30-3, 32, 34-2, 36, 38. In 88 they had the 30-3, 34-2, 38-2. Obvious line reduction due to luxury tax influenced retraction in the sailboat market.
Re: Sabre 30 vs Sabre 32
Thanks guys, I appreciate your help. I'll be traveling this weekend to look at Sabre 30s and a 32. I read the Good Old Boat review on the 32, but that's the only review I can find on that model. I'll check out the Sabre user group when I get back.
I guess it makes sense for manufacturers to follow the trend to wider boats, as long as they design the new wider hulls to sail as well as as the older narrower models. One dealer said he thought the 32 would be better in heavy air, and the 30 better in light air. This will be my first boat, sure will be glad when the deciding part is over and the sailing starts.
Re: Sabre 30 vs Sabre 32
was an interesting question, as to why they would stop the build after only four years. One reason may have been simply the market, as the 32's I looked at showed a 9 ft beam and the 30 shows 10 ft 6 in. The 32 just wouldn't show as well at the boat shows I would reason. Just my two cents, 32 is a beautiful boat and has a longer length in the water so.....
Re: Sabre 30 vs Sabre 32
Good Old Boat had a review on a Sabre 32 a few issues back.
You might also want to check in with the Yahoo Sabre Group, good group with lots of good info/support.
Re: Sabre 30 vs Sabre 32
get the 32 much more boat than the 30,much faster and better in the chop
Sabre 30 vs Sabre 32
I can find reviews on the Sabre 30, but none on the Sabre 32. Numbers look similar between these two models, but can't find info on why Sabre stopped the 32 after 4 years of production and switched over to the S-30.
Would they both be similar sailing on Lake Erie? Could they both do about the same in the steep chop and light air days? I'd like to get one of these this year for a first boat.

Georges PrêtreRepresentation: world

E-Mail: email@example.com
12th August 1924 – 4th January 2017
On the 4th January 2017 the "Grandseigneur of Music" Georges Prêtre passed away in the circle of his family.
Georges Prêtre was born in Douai in Northern France and completed his musical studies at the Conservatoire National Supérieur in Paris. In 1946 he made his debut at Marseilles Opera aged 22.
From there, his engagements brought him via the Opéra Comique in Paris to the Paris Opera, the Metropolitan Opera in New York and to La Scala in Milan.
In 1970, Georges Prêtre became Music Director of the Paris Opera. He led the foremost European Orchestras: Vienna and Berlin Philharmonic, the big American and the London Orchestras, etc. In 1986 he was appointed Principal Guest Conductor of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra for a period of five years. During this period, he led several tours through Europe, Japan and the USA; today, he re-mains its Honorary Conductor on lifetime.
In July 1989 Georges Prêtre inaugurated the new Bastille Opera in Paris. He has been Honorary Conductor of the Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra since 1995. During 1999, for the commemoration of Francis Poulenc's 100th birthday, he conducted several programmes with works of this composer. In 2001, upon the 100th year of Giuseppe Verdi's death he conducted various performances of the Verdi "Requiem". In the same year he returned with an enormous success to conduct "Turandot" at the Scala in Milano.
In 2004, the year of his 80th birthday, Georges Prêtre returned to conduct his preferred European Orchestras: Santa Cecilia di Roma, Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, Orchestra filarmonica della Scala, Teatro La Fenice di Venezia, Wiener Symphoniker, Wiener Philharmoniker, SWR-Sinfonieorchester Stuttgart, NDR-Sinfonieorchester Hamburg, Staatskapelle Dresden as well as – in France – Orchestre National de France, Orchestre de l'Opéra National de Paris, and Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse.
In January 2008, Georges Prêtre gave his highly acclaimed debut as conductor of the Vienna Philharmonic's new year's concert at Vienna's Musikverein.
The concert was followed by a quick re-invitation by the Vienna Philharmonic for the new year's concert 2010.
Further projects of the past few seasons were the new year's concert at the Teatro La Fenice in Venice in January 2009, "I Pagliacci / Cavalleria Rusticana" at the Festival of Orange in summer 2009, as well as concerts with the Vienna Philharmonic, Wiener Symphoniker, Staatskapelle Dresden, Bamberger Symphoniker, Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, Orchestra Filarmonica della Scala, and Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia.
Georges Prêtre's agenda for 2011/12 includes a tour with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, concerts in the frame of the "Wiener Festwochen" with Wiener Symphoniker, a Beethoven – series with Munich Philharmonic, as well as concerts with Staatskapelle Dresden, Orchestra Filarmonica della Scala and Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia.
Georges Prêtre is one of the few French artists to have received the highest decorations in France and abroad. He is Commander of the French Légion d'honneur and Chevalier des Palmes Academiques. In Austria, he has received the Austrian Cross for Services Rendered to Science and the Arts, 1st Class, as well as the Cross of Honour of the City of Salzburg, and he is Honorary Member of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna as well as of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.
The Orchestra Filarmonica della Scala awarded him the title "Socio onorario".
Recently, he was awarded the highest decoration within the French "Légion d'Honneur" by the French president: the "Grand Officier de la Légion d'Honneur".
