A top-notch all-inclusive with a luxurious spa, multiple dining options, and high-end suites
The Grand Velas is one of the top three hotels in Riviera Maya, a region known for its luxury resorts and gorgeous beaches. It is set on 86 acres of beachfront mangroves outside Playa del Carmen -- but the jungle is so thick and the path to the main road so long that the resort feels a world away from the hustle and bustle of more touristy areas in Playa del Carmen, located just a short drive away.
The resort is comprised of three separate areas -- Zen, Ambassador, and Grand Class -- all hidden away amid the lush grounds. The Zen section is the first one off the road (but that means it's still a two-minute drive from the main entrance), and has a hushed vibe despite being family-friendly, with dimly lit pathways covered with palapa roofs, a stylish pool complex with low music playing in the background, and the hotel's top-notch spa. It's the least luxurious of the three sections, but here that only means rooms are a tad smaller (1,100 square feet) and overlook the jungle instead of the sea.
Down the road, right on the beach, are the Ambassador and Grand Class sections. The Ambassador is home to the largest pool complex and to several restaurants, both casual and formal. It's busier than the Zen building because of its proximity to the beach, but the hotel's stretch of sand is 1,000 feet long, the pool is huge, and the room count is relatively low (491 suites spread out in three buildings), so the resort does not necessarily feel crowded.
Unlike the Ambassador and Zen sections, the Grand Class is adults-only. It's the most luxurious of all buildings, with three restaurants, a beautiful infinity pool, and private plunge pools in every room. The 90 huge suites also feature contemporary Mexican artwork, large terraces, and stunning bathrooms with dark wood sliding doors.
On a beautiful beach outside Playa del Carmen
The Grand Velas is located on a gorgeous white-sand beach off the Cancun - Chetumal road that runs along the Riviera Maya coast. There is nothing within walking distance aside from a handful of resorts, but a 15-minute cab ride gets you to dining, shopping, and nightlife in Playa del Carmen.
It used to be the home of the ancient Mayans, and after that a small fishing village, but now Playa del Carmen -- or "Playa," as the locals call it -- is full of exciting nightclubs, popular restaurants, cute boutiques, and resort hotels that sit on lovely white-sand beaches. Because many of the businesses are European-run, the rest of the town retains a hint of European flair. The main tourist thoroughfare of Playa is the cobblestone-lined, pedestrian street Quinta Avenida (Fifth Avenue), but there are plenty of fun outdoor activities for visitors, too, such as snorkeling, scuba diving, kayaking, and sailing. The offshore reef is part of the second largest reef system in the world, the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef.
Beautiful rooms with terraces, luxurious bathrooms, and high-end amenities
The Grand Vela's 491 suites are housed in three separate buildings (Zen, Ambassador and Grand Class), each with its own characteristics and decor. The Zen section is the only one in the jungle and does not offer ocean views. It houses the hotel's convention center and the spa, but it's the least transited of the three buildings, and the vibe here is hushed and romantic. While families are welcome at the Zen and Ambassador buildings -- both featuring kids' clubs and plenty of connecting rooms -- kids under 12 are not allowed in the Grand Class section. In-room amenities are comparable in all buildings, and all rooms have terraces, but the largest and most luxurious units can be found in the Grand Class building.
A pristine beach with bar service and free non-motorized water sports
The hotel is right on a gorgeous white-sand beach a few minutes north of Playa del Carmen. It features tons of loungers, several cabanas, and bar service from early in the morning until sunset. There are also two restaurants a few feet from the sand, and a couple of poolside bars for those who want to sit at a table instead. The beach has been awarded the Clean Beaches certification of the Environment and Natural Resources department of Mexico.
Three stunning pool complexes, two of them with ocean views
The Grand Velas has three separate pool complexes, all absolutely stunning. Probably the most striking fact about the pools is that they're made with marble brought from Thailand, which gives them the color of the Caribbean seabed; they truly look like an extension of the sea. There's bar service at all three pool complexes, and unobtrusive music plays in the background. The most relaxing pool might be the one found in the Zen area, but the Ambassador's is the largest, and the Grand Class' is the only one that's adults-only. Guests can access all three pools, not just the one in their section of the resort.
Two well-equipped fitness centers
The hotel features two fitness centers: one in the Ambassador building and the other one in the Zen section. They're both well-equipped with a wide array of cardio and strength-training machines and feature personal trainers. Pilates, yoga and meditation classes are available.
One of the top spas in the world
The hotel's 89,000-square-foot spa is one of the world's top wellness centers and a member of the Leading Spas of the World. It features 40 treatment rooms -- including some for couples, and some with private whirlpools -- as well as relaxation areas, a meditation room, a beauty salon with services for brides, and a hydrotherapy circuit. Service here is top-notch, with a dedicated spa concierge, welcome drinks, and tea service after each treatment.
Very family-friendly, with many connecting rooms, two kids' clubs, and activities for children and teens
The Grand Velas is a very family-friendly hotel. It features two kids' clubs with daily activities, a shallow pool area at the Ambassador section, and many connecting rooms. Note that children under 12 are not allowed to stay in the Grand Class section, but families are welcome in the Zen and Ambassador buildings.
Eight restaurants serving outstanding food in stylish spaces
The hotel features eight restaurants, all included in the all-inclusive rate. There are casual poolside spots for a light bite and fine dining restaurants with a stricter dress code, but all serve outstanding food, including Mexican, pan-Asian, French, Italian and molecular cuisine. Reservations are required at all restaurants except for Azul and Chaka.
Eight bars, including a karaoke spot and swim-up bars at all pools
Butler service, gourmet dining, and non-motorized water sports -- but there's a fee for Wi-Fi
All-inclusive rates include:
Top-notch services include butlers and babysitters
Reverse-osmosis desalting plants, a water treatment plant, and a waste reduction program, among other green initiatives
The Grand Velas -- set on over 80 acres of mangroves that meet a postcard-perfect beach of white sand and turquoise waters -- is one of Riviera Maya's most sophisticated properties. It features 491 top-notch suites spread out in three different buildings (two family-friendly, one adults-only), all with their own stunning pool complexes, gyms, and restaurants. The property is so huge guests will need to take a three-minute shuttle ride from the farthest building to the beach, but the hotel's spotless service, outstanding food, luxurious spa, and wonderful amenities make it a great pick for discerning (and well-heeled) travelers.

Pounds: Meeting MylesWritten by Tom Pounds | President / Publisher | email@example.com
A few days after we published Jeremy Baumhower's March 23 column "Magical, mighty Myles," I was connected to Dean Pickett, the general manager at the Maumee Cracker Barrel. That was where Myles found $20 and "paid it forward" to Lt. Col. Frank Dailey, inspiring nationwide coverage for his generosity. Dean wanted a copy of Baumhower's story so he could hang it above his fireplace at the Cracker Barrel.
So on March 28, Toledo Free Press senior sales representative Renee Bergmooser and I drove to Maumee for lunch and to deliver the copies. When we arrived, the young lady seating people asked if we were the "newspaper people." I told her we were and she then said, "Myles and his family are here; would you like to sit near them?"
Of course we said yes and an amazing lunch ensued. We visited with Myles, Tiffany Eckert (Myles' mom), Marlee Eckert (Myles' older sister) and Lt. Col. Dailey's family as well as Dean Pickett.
It was a great discussion as Myles showed off all the stuff he had after returning that morning from Dallas where he met with former President George W. Bush. There were baseballs, books and other memorabilia. I noticed Myles coloring with White House crayons and Tiffany said, "That is the only thing I am letting him play with out of all this stuff!"
We took pictures and had a grand time. But we also talked about the cover story Toledo Free Press published on Sgt. Andy Eckert, Myles' father, after he died. It was June 8, 2005, in a story titled "Legacy." The picture on the cover was of Sgt. Eckert. Inside were photos of his young daughter Marlee and a picture of Sgt. Eckert holding his newborn son Myles. The fact that a $20 bill could bring Tiffany Eckert and her family and the Toledo Free Press back together after these many years, this time with a joyful story, makes what we do so enjoyable.
Good things happen in this town all the time and we are very proud to bring them to you. We have tough times in this business and sometimes have to tell sad and scary stories. Meeting Myles reminded me that we can also play a role in spreading great, inspiring news.

Saturday, October 19, 2013
Earlier this month, students from the University School of the Lowcountry and members of Hibben United Methodist Church unloaded a tractor trailer of pumpkins for this year's annual "Pumpkin Patch," located in front of the church at 690 Coleman Blvd. The colorful display of bright orange pumpkins on the front lawn every year, complemented by the occasional "albino" pumpkin and some green gourds, has earned the church the nickname, "The Pumpkin Church" among many Mount Pleasant residents.
For students at the University School, unloading pumpkins is an annual service project. For church members who unload pumpkins and staff the pumpkin patch every day, it's a mission project, since all proceeds go to missions sponsored by the church.
Whether it's school teachers looking for the fifty-cent or one-dollar pumpkins to decorate their classrooms for fall, or families looking for the perfect jack-o-lantern, the pumpkin patch has sizes and shapes of pumpkins available. The pumpkin is open daily through Oct. 31: Monday-Friday 11 a.m.-7 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m.-7 p.m. and Sunday noon-7 p.m.

The body never lies.

The body never lies.

Back to top.
One of the most frustrating scenarios we face is when we finally make that commitment to our health, begin to work out, and then find ourselves sidelined due to an injury. In this two-part series, we'll take a simple look at how to best avoid getting injured, and what to do should our precautions fail.
We'll all face an injury of some kind during our lifetimes. Accidents are unavoidable. But when you're exercising to improve your health, physical setbacks are more frustrating than normal. On the flip side, if you don't exercise, your body will age faster, break down quicker, and die younger. Looking at the big picture can help motivate you to Push Play. Nothing, however, can derail this motivation faster than a nagging injury. After all, you may only be exercising to make yourself feel better. And injuries make you feel worse. But before you resign yourself to the "what's the point?" attitude, read on. This week, we'll show you how to greatly reduce your chance of getting injured in the first place. Next week, we'll discuss how you can get back on your feet quickly when you do get injured.
There are two types of injury: acute and chronic. An acute injury occurs when something overloads your system beyond its capacity to buffer it—like getting hit by a car or falling off your bike. A chronic injury is one that's created by overusing a body part until it breaks down.
Acute injuries can't be prevented. Nothing can prepare you for a car accident, unless you know how to construct a Batman suit. But you can prepare yourself to better fend off minor acute injuries. Exercise can fashion a somewhat natural Batman suit out of your body. It won't fend off a car, but it can prepare you to deal with adversity more efficiently.
Chronic injuries can almost always be avoided because overuse injuries are generally due to muscular imbalance and/or lack of proper range of motion. By properly training your body, muscles will be balanced, bones will be dense, and body parts will be supple. When you get this formula right, chronic injuries almost never happen.
But doing this is easier said than done. Even top-flight athletes have trouble with keeping their bodies in balance. The reason is that it takes both dedication and discipline. Most of us just want to do whatever it is we find entertaining when we exercise. The little things that keep us injury free can be mundane. As boring as this may be, it's a lot more fun than being injured. Let's take a look at the basics to staying healthy.
Warming up properly seems like a waste of time. Who hasn't, at one time or another, jumped right into an intensive workout like
P90X® or
Turbo Jam® and walked away unscathed? But if you want to remain uninjured, nothing stacks the odds in your favor as much as thoroughly warming up your body to get it ready for the rigors of exercise.
Acute injuries aren't just accidents. Putting stress on a cold system can cause acute injury, even with resistance that you can normally handle easily. The reason is that when you're cold, your muscles are actually gel-like. As they warm up, they become more viscous, kind of like oil in your car engine. This process is called thixotropy. As you increase your heart rate, your core body temperature heats up. When this happens, your muscular viscosity decreases, and you become more supple and ready to handle the stresses of exercise.
A proper warm-up starts out slow and gradually increases in intensity. Once your blood is moving, easy, short stretches help elongate your muscles so that they're ready for the intense contractions that will happen later. Note that long, slow stretching should be avoided as part of the warm-up. The type of stretching that you do to increase your flexibility should be done post-exercise. Pre-exercise stretches should remain very low on the intensity scale. They serve only to loosen up the body to its current range-of-motion abilities, not to increase that range.
A good workout stresses your body. Your heart rate increases to near its maximum, and muscles are contracted at high speed. If you finish a hard workout and walk away without a cooldown, your body settles into a contracted state. When this happens, the damage incurred during the workout is exacerbated and your body can't recover well. A proper cooldown eases your heart rate and stretches out your muscle fibers. This begins the healing process and speeds up your recovery time.
A good cooldown consists of moving your body slower and slower, allowing your heart rate to drop. When it gets low—under 100 beats per minute—you should begin stretching out all of the muscles worked during the workout. It's best to start with easy ballistic stretches. These can be followed by slower, longer static stretches. If you want to do a full-blown stretching session with the aim of increasing your body's range of motion, this is a good time to do that.
As stated before, working out contracts your muscles. To stay in balance, you need to stretch them out. Failing to stretch out your muscles leaves their fiber strands knotted close together. Muscles in this state are very susceptible to overload and, hence, injury. Properly stretched muscle fibers have far more of a buffer zone than unstretched ones. They can take the same force loads more easily because they have more room to contract. Staying limber is a good way to avoid injury.
If you've ever been to a physical therapist, you've probably been given exercises that help rebuild an injured area. These tend to be low-intensity movements that not only stress your prime mover muscles but also the smaller muscles that stabilize the larger ones. For some reason, exercise programs often leave out training these smaller muscles. This is bad because when one muscle group is built up more than another, your body becomes imbalanced. When you have a muscular imbalance, you are highly likely to become injured. This leads to a quandary for many of us. We can't go to a physical therapist before we're injured, yet if we don't, it's hard to know when we're out of muscular balance.
Fortunately, most modern exercise programs consider this. P90X, for example, has many different workouts that focus on both prime mover and stabilizer muscles. But it's still easy to become out of balance because life often throws us into situations where muscular imbalance is likely to happen. Sports, yard work, and even sitting at a computer typing and "mousing" can create imbalance. How to offset this can be complicated, but here are some ideas.
Next week, we'll discuss what to do when you do break down.

"As a physical therapist I have encounted patients with this very problem who motivated to improve their health get injured from improper exercise dosage of too intense, too frequent, or too long. It would be a good idea for Physicians to write a script to Physical Therapy 1 or 2 visits for Pre-Exercise Conditioning Screening and Instruction. A diagnosis code of debility or joint pain stiffness aids with insur. coverage. Seek PT's with added SCS or CSCS indicating Sports Condit Certificatio"

I used to be a faithful Blackberry addict. I had the 8830, Storm 9530, and the Bold 9650 and instead of the newer phones getting better, they got worse. My husband and I made the switch to iPhone when it came to VZW and I can't see us going back. RIM took too long and they still aren't close enough to having a QNX Blackberry available to the public. And many of my Blackberry toting friends are switching or have already switched to other platforms as well. I think Blackberry 7 is too little, too late.
BlackBerry Torch 9860 gets reviewed
CrackBerry.com's [full review of the BlackBerry Torch 9860 full touch screen smartphone
Kevin Michaluk of sibling site CrackBerry.com has just posted his BlackBerry Torch 9860, and just like his BlackBerry Bold 9900, it's jam packed with detail.
Now, if you were as confused as I was by RIM's new naming conventions, let's try to help -- this Torch is pretty much what the Storm used to be, a full screen, touch screen BlackBerry, with no slide-out keyboard like the original Torch (and no SurePress like the original Storm, thankfully.) Of course, there's also still a Torch with a slide out keyboard. (Could they have at least called that a Torch Pro, like HTC would have?)
Either way, this is in fact the closest thing to an iPhone RIM makes. So how does it stack up?
It's a smooth device that will certainly be a seller. How big of a seller is yet to be seen. Users that want the big screen and don't mind not having a physical keyboard will be in BlackBerry heaven. Once you adjust to using the virtual keyboard there really isn't much bad to be said about the 9860. But if you're like me, you want to get things done efficiently and in my opinion, having a keyboard really helps that cause, even if I have to sacrifice potential display real estate for a screen. I know I'm in the minority on that one these days - you should definitely head to your local store and try out the Torch 9860 and come to your own conclusions. If playing videos, viewing photos, snapping pictures and web browsing are tops on your list, then I can say the Torch 9860 may be just what you're looking for. With the boosted processor and increased RAM, the OS trucks along fast enough to keep up with pretty much anything you can throw at it.
Once again I'll ask -- if you're walking into a store this fall, iPhone 5 on one side, Android phone de jour on the other, would you walk past them for a BlackBerry Torch 9860? Check out Kevin's review and let us know.

BlackBerry Torch 9860 gets reviewed
I take issue with the statement that blackberry are superior communications devices in this day and age. While I will concede that some users still want a tiny keyboard (why?), I think it's more because of familiarity. Once you get used to a software keyboard, it's just as efficient. I find email on BB's to be cumbersome, and they are still abysmal in web browsing and apps. Even when I had a BB, I rarely used BB Messenger, and now iMessage is entering into that arena with a much more polished and seamless implementation IMO. Right now RIM is surviving on it's corporate entrenchement and not much else. iPhone all the way, but I'm sure I'll take a look at this new phone just to check out the competition.
IMO iPhones do nothing but play games, calls get dropped constantly and it's all closed off with poor battery life and no multitasking capabilities. The interface hasn't changed for years and Apple is more interested in starting litigation than innovating their product. See how easy it is to post a bunch of absurd statements that do nothing more than propagate ignorance. But don't worry I put IMO so it saves me from actually having to know anything about the points I made or provide and proof to support them.
I don't think iMessage is more polished at all at this point. BBM has profile pictures, location time zone, personal messages (status update), shows what music you're listening to, contact categories, groups (and that's a whole new section of its own since it has posting pictures and comments), app integration (foursquare, games, etc.) and I couldn't think of anything else at the moment. If iMessage is almost identical to what is show in iOS 5 beta which only has the capability to message other devices with iMessage and shows when they are typing the message and if it was read or delivered. However, it does have the potentially to be something big in the future.
I wonder if Rene has ever touched a Storm? His comment about no more surepress is the reason I ask. Being a former Storm and Storm 2 user, I liked surepress. Only reasons I switched to iPhone is because my storms did not play well with my Mac's and the storm's did not have big enough processors to operate smoothly. With big clumsy fingers, surepress allowed me to use a bigger screen, without opening apps or typing letters I did not want to. IMO
Had a BB Pearl, 2 Curves, the last being an 8900, had a Torch 9800. Idk what I was thinking, but I went over to the dark side and purchased an IPhone. I kept it right over the 3 month return period and then began desperately seeking something, anything different. I hated the lack of personalization of the Iphone. I hated that there wasn't an indicator light even when asleep and most of all, I hate the mail/message handling and ITunes...Blech. My husband asked why I didn't move away from the BB arena at this point and maybe go Android simply because of Apps and web browsing and the fact that BB is and has been more of a business phone. I then purchased the HTC Inspire - which rocks - however, I would purchase the Torch 9860 in a New York minute!
BB is a work horse and a very good one at that. It's functionality of mail and messaging has no counterpart, no competition even, IMHO. Even with the HTC Inspire, I have spent months trying to get it to work like...you guessed it, my old BB's. Nothing will work like them in this arena because of a dedicated server or something like that, but whatever it is, I miss the cleanness of a BB, the absolute purity of what I want a phone to do.
For moi, there absolutely is no other like the BB. Call me old-fashioned, ignorant, whatever, but I've finally found what I, personally, need in a phone and it's BB all the way, Baby!

Best Picture Argo is really a Canadian story not an American story
The former Canadian ambassador to Iran who protected Americans at great personal risk during the 1979 Iran hostage crisis said Monday it was good to hear Ben Affleck finally thank Canada after Affleck's film "Argo" won the Oscar for best picture.
"Argo" came under criticism from some Canadians, including former ambassador Ken Taylor, who said he felt slighted by the movie because it makes Canada look like a meek observer to CIA heroics. Taylor says it minimizes Canada's role in the Americans' rescue.I think that President Carter's remarks put everything in proportion."
Carter appeared on television last week and said, "90 percent of the contributions to the ideas and the consummation of the plan was Canadian," but the film "gives almost full credit to the American CIA."

The fleeting feeling of victory in the early rounds of the Class 4A state wrestling playoffs can disappear quicker than it comes.
Less than two hours after knocking off Beaufort in the opening round of the SCHSL playoffs Saturday, the hosting Wando Warriors were eliminated on their home mat by Dutch Fork in the second round.
"It's tough but that's the way it happens," Wando head coach Adam Schneider said. "We had some matches we thought we should've won but we didn't. We were set up the way we wanted to be, within shooting range."
Wando jumped on Beaufort early in the opening match with pins by Ryan Williams at 182 pounds and Zola Davis at 195 pounds to take a 21-6 lead. Beaufort answered with a 24-4 run through the next six matches with pins at 113 and 120 pounds.
Schneider shuffled parts of his lineup before the playoffs, including moving senior Ben Crutchfield from 138 pounds to 132. With Wando trailing by one point entering the final match, Crutchfield picked up a dominant pin to lift the Warriors to a 31-30 win.
"It was a gamble, and it paid off," Schneider said. "He's one of those guys we know we can count on. He knew he had to pin to win. He told us at the beginning of the match he was going to get six points for us and he did, even with all the pressure."
Thirty minutes later, Wando was back on the mat against Region V No. 3 seed Dutch Fork in the second round. The Warriors struggled early, falling to pin in the final 10 seconds at 182 pounds to drop behind 21-6.
Wando charged back with a pin at 195 pounds by Zola Davis, followed by a win at 220 by Hunter Allen, and a pin at 285 by Love Scott to tie the match at 21. Dutch Fork stopped the rally with a win at 106 and a pin at 113. Wando fell to pin four times against Dutch Fork but still entered the final match with a chance to tie, trailing by 33-27. Needing a pin, the Warriors came very close to getting it but had to settle on a three-point win instead in a 33-30 loss.
"Obviously, we're not happy about the way the season ended, we're disappointed but it's been a good season," Schneider said. "Dutch Fork is a tough team. Hats off to them. It's something for us to build on. Our second-round matches haven't been close in past years and we had a chance to win it today."
Duals are over for Wando but the season continues for 12 Warriors set to compete in the upcoming Lower State tournament. Crutchfield (132 pounds), Alex Cullen (120), Brandon Robinson (170), Darren Scott (106), Rob McAdams (138), Joey Paragano (145), Tyler Egonut (152), Jeremy Petit (160) Ryan Williams (182), Davis (195), Allen (220), and Scott (285) will all compete after finishing in the top three of their respective weight classes in the Region VII tournament last week.
"We still have a lot of work to do but I think we could have a strong showing," Schneider said. "As far as conditioning and stuff like that, we're where we want to be. We're going to try to fix a few small things but we should have some of our individuals make it to state."
The Lower State tournament begins Feb. 21 at Beaufort High School.

Sorry it has taken me all week to post...I still haven't recovered from the exciting, but exhausting weekend!
I would like to thank everyone who came out to support the SD walk and also to those who could not make the walk, but donated online. We had a glorious walk day in San Diego. The May gray weather reared it's ugly head for a straight week before the walk, but on Saturday the sun was out and it must have been 80 degrees before the walk was over!
We had 105 registered walkers and many more children and babies who walked with family and friends.
We had an overwhelming response of people who collected pledges that brought in over $3700 alone!!! Our big pledge winners were:
Autumn and Mitch Spears who flew from Washington to attend our walk and collected over $1,500! They received a $100 American Express gift card for their first place pledges. As a bonus, Mitch's place of employment will be matching any donations given by employees of Western Tile and Marble!
Rosalinda Salazar and Michael Sloan tied for second place at $600+ in pledges. They both received a $20 Daphne's Greek Cafe gift card.
I have done a rough estimation of our money totals and it appears that we will be donating over $8500 (this amount is after expenses) to the Foundation!
Alicia and I set goals to have 100 walkers and raise $10K for the Foundation, and while we came up short on our donation goal, the day exceeded both our expectations. This was an experience I will never forget and it was one of the best days of my life, despite my continued crying while trying to run the event (pregnancy hormones are not the best for this kind of event!).
Alicia and I are working on getting pictures together and will soon post links for a photo montage and to view all the pictures! We have an enormous amount of pictures to sort through, so this process is taking us a while to complete.
There will definitely be a 2009 San Diego WAT and both Alicia and I will be spear heading the event once again (unless unforeseen forces keep us away). We look forward to seeing all of you again and having new volunteers on our 2009 team.
Thank you, Alicia, for being my co-chair for the walk and you will forever be my PE Sister!

Who Cultural Arts Alliance (CAA)
What: Is sponsoring its third Juried Photography Show and sale for amateur and professional alike
Where: Summerville Town Hall
When: Opening Tuesday, December 4. Opening Reception Wednesday, December 6 from 5-7 pm. Closing: Friday, February 8
How: Enter through website: townhallartshow.com. Detailed contracts from Finishing Touch, People, Places and Quilts, and Town Hall, all located on Richardson Avenue. Photo intake is Friday, November 30, from 3-7 p.m. Judging takes place the weekend of November 30
The three CAA members coordinating the photography show are Meg Skow, John Lindroth and Jane Orenstein. Ive been a long-time member of the alliance and can appreciate the hard work and dedication it takes to make these events happen. Past shows have also included paintings, quilts and the best of Dorchester District Two student art: the latter at the present time for exhibition only.
Jane Orenstein, a life-long arts supporter who works both for visual arts and music in Summerville is a founding member of the CAA. It was her idea to have revolving art shows. We worked a long time to make this a reality and are constantly excited at the opportunity to share work with the local community and tourists. As many receptions as possible are multi-faceted, often with background musical vignettes featuring like guitarist David Archer and banjoist Pat Watts.
Professional photographer John Lindroth, who frequently vies for entry into this and other shows, says, For me its getting to share what I think is beautiful with the community as well as to be recognized by having my work displayed at Town Hall.
John, who is a prize-winning photographer, also urges photographers to enter a show again, even if their work was not previously selected. I entered what I thought were two of my best photographs in a previous CAA show and only one was accepted, John said. Ive also entered many works in the fair. The first time I got a third and havent placed since!
Each show has individual judges who change from show to show. Those who compete in art shows submit writing for publication and compete for a winning spot in various scored art and music competitions know that there is a degree of subjectivity in judges' decisions. Selection and/or prizes are not always forthcoming. After all Margaret Mitchell got 38 rejections before "Gone With the Wind" was published!
Meg is a visual arts teacher at Rollings School of the Arts who has been instrumental in including student art displays. Shes also a photographer and says: I appreciate the opportunity to be able to participate as an artist. My main motivation in being with CAA is that I feel like its so important for our community to have a rich arts presence where everyone can be involved.
Mayor Bill Collins told me recently that he thought the CAAs revolving shows are just great and hes gotten a lot of positive citizen feedback. Hes planning to be at the December 6th reception. Ive also talked to several town employees with the consensus that these shows make their work environment sparkle!
Picture yourself against this glistening background and attend the December 6th reception, then come back often to celebrate Summerville.
After all: Tis the season to sparkle!

Pounds: China SummitWritten by Tom Pounds | President / Publisher | email@example.com
Toledo Free Press was honored to be a sponsor of the May 31 China Business Summit, presented by Communica at The Toledo Club.
With more than 400 million people in its middle class alone, China presents an incredible market.
As reported by Toledo Free Press Staff Writer Morgan Delp, all of the speakers at the event talked about the challenges and benefits of expansion into China.
In addition to the four main presentations, the event included brief remarks from Jim Rush, executive vice president and head of business development at Communica, Debbie Monagan, president of Communica, Mayor Mike Bell and Regional Growth Partnership President and CEO Dean Monske. Minhua Wu from the Confucius Institute at the University of Toledo also presented on the institute's Chinese language and culture courses, which it offers to teachers, business people and students in the area.
"You cannot be successful in any foreign market unless you know the challenges," said William Sinn, president of the Cleveland-based Sinn & Company consultancy.
He said these challenges include a language barrier even within the country of China, due to all of the different dialects. When illustrating the drastic language difference amongst neighboring towns in China by comparing them to Ohio cities, Sinn said that unless using the same dialect, "Toledo could not talk to Bowling Green." He said that acquiring a skilled and reliable translator was essential in overcoming this obstacle.
John Tang, attorney and head of the Shanghai-based Brennan, Manna & Diamond group in Akron, said a big aspect of Chinese culture is that people focus on outward appearances because they are extremely concerned with "saving face," or retaining a respectable image.
Tang gave the example of the successful American chain, Victoria's Secret, which tried to expand into China, but had to scale back because the Chinese were not interested in spending money on undergarments that could not be seen by others.
Wei Shen, managing director of BridgeConnect LLC in Bloomfield Hills, Mich., said Americans need to understand that business deals cannot be made on the first visit with potential Chinese clients. She said gaining the respect of potential clients and having patience in negotiations are key to gaining wealth in China.
However, many differing aspects of the Chinese way of life offer promising business opportunities, Tang said.
"China is very polluted due to the factories, and the government knows that, so if you are in an industry with environmentally friendly products, they'll offer a lot of incentives and open a lot of doors for you," he said.
Toledo Free Press has long advocated bringing international business to Toledo, and has supported the Bell administration's efforts to do so. We will continue to support events such as the China Business Summit and urge local entrepreneurs to continue to engage in the global conversation.

Therein lies the problem for the Android hardware manufacturers. They cannot differentiate in software because that is Google's job. The only place they can go is hardware. If their hardware is lacking then their product is lacking. If they thought that Apple would stand pat on hardware they don't understand the market they are trying to penetrate.
Samsung having second thoughts about Galaxy Tab 10 post iPad 2
Samsung is reportedly reconsidering the form-factor and price of their forthcoming Galaxy Tab 10 following Apple's iPad 2 announcement this week.
"We will have to improve the parts that are inadequate," [Lee Don-joo] told Yonhap News Agency. "Apple made it very thin."
The 7-inch Galaxy Tab was priced at nearly US$900 without a two-year contract from mobile operators, while the price of the iPad 2 starts at $499, with the most expensive model costing $829. Samsung did not announce the pricing details for the 10.1-inch tablet.
"The 10-inch (tablet) was to be priced higher than the 7-inch (tablet) but we will have to think that over," Lee added.
I'm guessing that wasn't a unique reaction by competitors and would-be competitors, and is refreshingly candid despite the fact that persistent rumors should have given Samsung et al reason to be reflective long before this week.
The reality is this -- even if Android OS tablets eventually outnumber iOS tablets (aka iPad) like Android phones do iOS phones (aka iPhone), they'll be split among numerous manufacturers making it unlikely any of them will individually ship more product than Apple. Since Apple can purchase and even pre-pay for components in huge volumes their economies of scale will likely far outstrip what separate Android manufacturers can manage. That, combined with COO Tim Cook's legendary supply chain management, will keep Apple's costs low and, even with their traditionally beefy margins, their overall price points low.
Likewise Apple has a Senior Vice President of Design -- how many other companies put that much emphasis on design? Apple's focus and the profits they make to feed that focus mean they are often far ahead when it comes to the build quality of the products they can field.
Given that Apple is already bringing iPad 2 to market before most are bringing their first tablet -- great artists ship -- Samsung is probably wise to consider and reconsider everything from price to package. But really, it's not iPad 2 they need to worry about. It's iPad 3.
If Samsung or Motorola or HTC can release their iPad 3 competitor within the next 6 months -- the way Google released the Nexus One 6 months into the iPhone 3GS product lifecycle -- then things will start to get interesting.

Samsung having second thoughts about Galaxy Tab 10 post iPad 2
The Galaxy Tab was released in the "off season" for the iPad and it didn't seem to help sales all that much, of course it was kind of half baked and rushed. In order to really compete with Apple besides price point Android manufacturers are going to need to do something the iPad doesn't do well and excell at it. The Nook Color is a great instance since it specializes as an ereader and has a form factor that's better suited to that job. It comes equipped with a decent web browser, a few games and Pandora out of the box. Put that together and for $200 its a pretty good basic little tablet. If that were the end of the story it would be okay but since its Android underneath the hood its been hacked ever which way. Mine is running froyo since I didn't like the available Honeycomb port but that gave me full access to the Android Market. It seems like the Playbook could have a differentiating factor like this if they can convince BB users to buy it. I think the 7 inch form factor may be a good way for a company to compete with Apple since they have expressed disdain for that segment.
It was mentioned on another site, but I can't understand where this $900 number is coming from. If you check samsung or verizon's site, it's $600 to $625 for a Galaxy Tab with no contract, and $280 to $300 with a 3 year contract.
I'm a Apple fan but it seems like someone's messed up and it's spreading thru the blogosphere.
They were propabaly talking about the motorola xoom.
Second thoughts? I should think so. One might even say they're flummoxed. What's even scarier is that Apple still has one hand behind it's back. The iPad is on cruise control now, but Apple could very easily crank up the hardware specs or lower cost if they felt the need.
Still, I don't want the competion to give up. Look how the heat from Android gave us the iPhone 4. We have a while to wait yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if we get that Retina iPad coincidentally about the same time Android tablet sales approach parity with the iPad.
Man, it's really hard to understand how these companies let themselves get so far behind. It took years for anyone to put up a solid competitor to the first iPhone and it looks like it'll be that way again for the iPad. I understand that the Xoom has better specs, but it doesn't hold water with anything else against the iPad 2. It's funny, cause, to me, it isn't that hard to see where Apple is going. Let Apple open up some cloud based services and they will rule the personal computing and services space for the rest of this decade. Then they can say, it's okay, buy the cheapest iPhone, iPod or iPad, or MacBook for that matter, and you'll have more memory, across all devices, with our cloud services. Someone really needs to step up, if not for legitimate competition, at least for the lulz.
Apple is a pro to this type of race. It is not hindered like the iPhone that was tied to single carrier and 2 year contracts. Apple will continue to focus on user experience as they are working on iPad 3 and monitors the market. Apple can bring out iPad twice a year, if Apple feels necessary. So, if Samsung or Motorola decided to come out with another version, so can Apple. Google does well in advancing operating software. So, Apple has also been iterating updates as well (4.0, 4.1,4.2,4.3, etc). This race seems closer to the music players,i.e. iPod. However, Google is a tougher challenger. Hardware companies may not able to keep up, except component companies like Samsung. So, it will be interesting. I think Apple will win.
As a somewhat older tech geek, I find it funny how cocky everybody has become about Apple, as if they were incapable of making mistakes. I for one do remember when Apple could do no right, lousy products, bad marketing, a has-been at the brink of bankruptcy. I hope the long road down and up again has taught a little humility to some people inside and outside Apple. Not five years ago the pinnacle of mobile computing was Palm. Where are they now?
Can't agree with you more ! RIM,Sony,Nokia ,blockbuster video, nintendo, sega,music industry . Every company and industry is one missed oppurtinty away from disaster
You're exactly right... one mistake and Apple could be gone.
However, I don't think that time is now...
Apple just made an incremental upgrade to the wildly successful iPad... a product that didn't even exist one year ago... and one that has sold 15 million so far.
Though I agree that business is cyclical and one day Apple will likely be on the other end of this, we're years away from it at this point.
Palm's not a great example, because mobile computing was more of a niche 5 years ago. The smartphone/mobile computing market is now very mainstream. It's much easier to get unseated in a niche market, especially if a better resourced competitor comes in.
It's more likely that a series of bad mistakes...a bad strategy would take Apple down. The funniest thing about this, is Apple's business model is not to dominate the market. It's not an iPad in every hand kind-of-business. They're margins are so high, I'm not sure they care if other people come into their space...it's still highly lucrative to them.
I agree, a better example (god forgive me) is Microsoft, how long have they been king of the mountain in the PC OS market, it is not unlikely Apple could carve out the same standing for themselves in the mobile market, rulers for years to come.
Oh so right. The tech industry is littered with companies who were once at the top of their game hitting on all cylinders, who are now gone, gobbled up or struggling to reinvent themselves. It is the norm, not the exception, and Apple knows this all too well. Apple is executing and being aggressive towards the competition which I commend. But to listen to some of the comments from the sheep, it's like wow, you really believe what you are saying? We know better.
Hah...you know, it's not just tangible things like screen size, aspect ratio and how many cores the CPU has. It's about the quality of the screen, for example. Does the Samsung (along with all the others) have IPS screens with LED backlight? How's the touch sensor? I can tell you from personal experience that the Galaxy Tab 7" is horrible to use but being that I only have Apple tablets and Apple phones (with touchscreen only, that is!) to compare anything else to. Naturally, I've been conditioned to a very high standard, a minimum standard really, as I wouldn't want to buy anything that offered an even slightly worse day-to-day user experience.
Here's one more example. Craftsmanship. Have you touched a Motorola Xoom? It's plastic and the surface on the back feels kind of rough, or cheap really, although it hardly is that, cheap. By contrast, my iPad always feels great when I pick it up. The aluminum body is super smooth and a joy to work (and play) with.
Let's face it, as much as the "other guys" are on a warpath to trump Apple's iPad and iPhone, realistically, it will not happen for them and most definitely not at the (low) cost that Apple is offering all this luxury for.

Danielle Cunningham is following in the Ugg-shaped footsteps of her fellow 16 and Pregnant stars Farrah Abraham, Ashley Salazar and Kailyn Lowry! You guessed it — girlfriend wants to write a memoir about her life experiences, because why not? In fact, maybe she should start making spicey Italian sauce while she's at it.
"I have always wanted to write a book about my life regarding my addiction with drugs, the struggles of being a Teen Mom with TWO children, the struggles i face growing up as a child," Danielle writes on Sulia. "i just want to share my story with everyone and show everyone that everyone hits their low point but only YOU can change how your life turns out."
OMG, we already feel so inspired by Danielle's sordid tale of life, love, ovaries, and placentas. And with any luck, her debut memoir will be just as popular as Farrah's smash hit My Teenage Dream Ended!
Would you read Danielle's book? Girlfriend definitely has a way with words — her Sulia posts are top-notch! Of course, the only way we'll even consider buying this thing is if it comes with an accompanying album, obvs.

Hot dog rice. It's a somewhat weird concoction of my own design, and certainly not one of the healthier ones I've come up with. Chop a few wieners into small pieces, fry them with diced onions, then mix into rice with nacho cheese, mustard, ketchup, sliced cucumber, chili, hot sauce, banana peppers, relish, and giardinara sauce. Like a hot dog--or a heart attack--in a bowl.
Methinks I'll be watching the fat intake more closely than normal for a few days now.
Tommy, close your eyes.

Comments On Aug 30, 2013:The wheels are very nice and appear to be very well made but Rocky Mountain ATV/MC failed to mention that you must use Motosport Alloys Lug Nut Kit in order to mount these. TECH NOTE: WE NOW MSA LUG NUTS FOR THESE WHEELS.

Comments On Jul 22, 2013:Love these wheels wish they would allow you to pick center cap though

Comments On Jun 21, 2013:I have had these wheels on my machine for 18 months now and they are very strong the finish is second to none they do have a few scraps and scratches but that is to be expected with over 2000 miles of riding in areas such as Hatfield McCoy trails in WV and Taylor Park CO. You do need the Moto Sport alloys lug nuts to mount this wheel to the machine no others will work and a thin wall socket. the quality of these wheels is top notch you will not be disappointed in your purchase and the look great to.

Comments On Sep 28, 2012:Nice rims but even mounting them very carefully scratches extremely easy and pretty sure they are not clear coated.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Feb 15, 2012:I learned the hard way on this wheel... the lug nuts are recessed COMPLETELY into the wheel holes.
You'll specifically need part #1087210004 to mount these to a Can-Am Outlander or Renegade (2012 or earlier). They need to be tapered, and you'll need a thin-wall socket to tighten these down.
When I ordered these, they were still a relatively new wheel to Rocky Mountain, so they didn't have much experience with them. Their excellent support staff was very kind to help me figure out what I needed.
Rocky Mountain gets an A+++ for service. M12 Wheels... gets a "fair" rating. To be honest, the finish and look is great, but mounting them up has been a nightmare. In the future, I'd go back to a style like ITP SS wheels I had on my last Renegade. No problems mounting those up!

When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading.

When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading.
Henny Youngman
Back to top.
Why do we spend all year doing P90X® or Slim in 6® to look good on the beach, only to sabotage ourselves with summer cocktails? The answer is that's it's fun and social, and it even makes us feel a little bit better about being scantily clad.
Thanks to the dozens of different diet crazes, we are all abundantly aware of carbs, protein, and fat, and we all have different opinions on which is the most evil. But we forget that alcohol has calories too, specifically 7 calories per gram—more than carbs or protein and almost as much as fat. What does this mean for you? It means that it's a challenge to burn off alcohol, especially when it's mixed with yummy sugary ingredients.
The most obvious solution is abstinence, but what fun would that be? Since we cannot remove the alcohol from the recipe, let's remove the excess calories from some popular summer drinks. Here are six summer cocktails and recipes to make them waist friendly.
Either pour over ice or blend with ice. Add salt to taste. Sip while pretending you are on a beach in Mexico, and you look amazing in your swimsuit.
Shake together with ice. Strain ice cubes and pour into fancy fluted glass. Look incredibly trendy and thin at the same time.
Pour over ice. Stir. Enjoy. Just don't try to play golf after two of these.
Throw it all in a blender, and let the good times begin. Please don't consume so many that you try to drink the umbrella.
Blend well, garnish with a small plastic monkey, and mentally escape to the Caribbean.
And there you have it. A handle on your summer cocktails, without adding to your love handles. Now get out that swimsuit and let summer be the party it was meant to be!

Interval training is the hottest thing in cardio these days, for good reasons. The fitness and fat-loss results you can get are more impressive than those you get doing "steady-state" cardio (in which you move at an unchanging pace), and your workouts can be shorter, too. That's because intervals let you exercise at a higher intensity than you could just about any other way. Interval training is also a lot easier to learn and do than many people think. Keep reading to see how you can Supercharge Your Cardio: 4 Simple Ways to Boost Your Intervals and your results!
All it requires is alternating periods of moderate activity with bursts of all-out exertion during the same exercise session. And since those higher-intensity sprints are relatively brief, you may hardly even notice the extra effort.
The benefits: faster weight loss, more endurance, better health
Interval workouts allow you to conquer what's known as the "stress adaptation response." When you keep exercising at the same level of exertion, your body quickly gets used to the effort, so it doesn't improve as much. That's why many aerobics plans don't give you the weight loss results and performance gains you want.
But when you add in short periods of high-intensity exercise—during which your heart rate is raised closer to its maximum capacity—your body is forced to use new muscle fibers, which continue burning extra fuel even during lower-intensity exercise. And interval workouts allow you to spend more time on these exercise peaks than you could if you tried to go all out without rest periods. As a result, you'll experience faster increases in cardio fitness, more efficient burning of carbohydrates and fat, and possibly a greater natural release of the human growth hormone.
Over the past few years, researchers have demonstrated a wide range of fitness and health effects from interval training:
Intervals made easy
Here are four simple ways to boost your fitness and fat burning with intervals.

Potatoes are a fundamental part of American life these days. Available in thousands of varieties and prepared in dozens of ways, they're the second most consumed food in our culture, after dairy products. For a humble vegetable, the potato has an extremely colorful history—did you know it was once suspected of causing leprosy, syphilis, narcosis, and early death, and of destroying the soil in which it grew? Now we just suspect it of spiking blood sugar levels. Let's see what else you know about potatoes.

"I love and appreciate your articles on food and exercise. I just wanted to add that I'm disappointed that a site like yours, who is obviously helping people eat better and lose weight in a 'healthy' manner would encourage folks to use articifial sweeteners. Most people are now aware of the dangers of artificial sweeteners and most of them avoid them now. Why not talk about real sweeteners, like agave syrup, stevia, etc... artificial sweetners are horrible and should not be consumed by anyone."

NAUGATUCK – The road to the state tournament runs through Naugatuck and Tug Valley High School. The Panthers are on their way to Charleston.
The No. 1 ranked Panthers were clicking on all cylinders Tuesday night as they jumped out to a 57-10 halftime lead and went on to beat the Man Hillbillies 94-36.
Tug Valley held Man to only two points in the second quarter and that was on two free throws.
The Panthers led 7-0 early on and Man cut it to 7-5. Corey Dillon then completed a 3-point play the old-fashioned way and Tug Valley was off to the races.
Tug Valley led 29-8 after one quarter and used a balanced scoring attack in the first half to take a commanding lead against the visiting and young Hillbillies.
Austin Brewer had 10, Mikey Newsome 11, Thomas Baisden 11, Corey Dillon nine and Hayden Sturgell seven in the first half.
"Austin Brewer got us going early. He is the straw that stirs the drink," Tug Valley coach Garland "Rabbit" Thompson said. "Mikey had his usual good offensive game. It was a solid effort by the whole team."
The Panther players were all smiles in the dressing room after the game. They joked with their head coach about getting taken out of the game. They wanted to play more minutes, but Thompson assured them that their time will come as the team progresses through the tournament.
Tug Valley led 63-14 with 5:32 left in the third quarter and at the 4:07 mark Thompson put in five new players. Those Panthers didn't let up and continued the offensive onslaught.
The Panthers led 70-17 after a 3-pointer by Kyle Newsome. They led 78-26 by the end of the third quarter.
Thompson brought in more JV players and 12 different Panthers got into the scoring column by the end of the game.
Brewer ended the game with 16, Mikey Newsome had 15, Thomas Baisden 11, Sturgell 11, Dillon nine, Shane Marcum and Aaron Copley six each and Aaron Muncy chipped in five.
Sean Hager had four, Kyle Newsome three and Dylan Dotson scored a basket off the bench.
Tug Valley made 17-19 at the free throw line for 89 percent.
The Panthers are now 20-3 and will play host to Greater Beckley Christian on Friday night for the Region 3, Section 1, Sectional championship. GBC defeated Sherman 76-56 in their semi-final game played at Beckley. (More on this game in Thursday's edition of the Williamson Daily News.)
The Panthers, who won the Class AA state title last March in Charleston, are a heavy favorite to return to the Civic Center and compete for the Class A championship this March.
Man, coached by longtime mentor Harvey Arms, finished the season at 7-16. They had defeated Montcalm on Saturday night in the play-in game to advance in the sectional.
John Keffer led Man with 11 points, while Kenny Adkins scored 10 and Cayce Mullins chipped in six.
The Billies were 9-16 at the foul line for 56 percent.
Score by quarters:
Man – J. Keffer 11, K. Adkins 10, J. Adkins 3, C. Mullins 6, G. Harvey 2, M. Rowe 4.
Tug Valley – A. Brewer 16, M. Newsome 15, T. Baisden 11, A. Muncy 5, H. Sturgell 11, C. Dillon 9, A. Baisden 4, A. Copley 6, S. Marcum 6, K. Newsome 3, D. Dotson 2, S. Hager 4.

You can find single malts, blends and more from all over the globe, from nations including The Netherlands, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Wales, England, Sweden and many others. Many of the distillers from around the world have learned whisky production from the Scottish, and there are many world whiskies which are almost indiscernible from Scotch whisky. Others offer a wonderful variation on the Gaelic spirit, and have unique and fascinating flavours that are well worth seeking out if you are a whisky enthusiast.

Antlers Public Library has partnered with the I.R.S. in an attempt to better serve the people. The program is known as Facilitated Self Assistance or FSA. It is a concept designed to provide increased taxpayer access to free tax preparation services and will hopefully empower taxpayers who qualify to do their own returns making them self-sufficient in tax preparation.
Because this service is offered, and the I.R.S. is encouraging E-filing, the library will not have the paper forms available.
This program was put in place to assist with expanding access to taxpayers who are eligible for free tax preparation. On the Antlers Public Library's website, there is a list of free tax preparations sites that are recommended by the I.R.S. since there is a growing number of sites that are set up to look like free sites.
The Antlers Public Library is among a small group who are offering this service. The Library will all patrons to use the land line phone to call tech support but the library personnel can NOT provide help with the preparation of your taxes. However, they will help get you to the website and assist you in contacting tech support. If you would like a printed version of your tax paperwork it will cost 25¢ per page.
Lois Poe, with the Little Dixie Community Action Agency, has volunteered to serve as the mandatory tech support. Taxpayers are responsible for inputting their own return data on the computer.
Patrons interested in taking advantage of this great resource can do so during 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Individuals who wish to access the website from home can do so by visiting www.antlerslibrary.okpls.org [3] and clicking on the Free Tax Filing Help link.
