Exhale Spa seeks to transform its clientele inside and out. The founding team of fitness professionals and aestheticians sought to create an environment where they could empower visitors with pampering spa treatments, invigorating fitness classes, and lifestyle education, helping clients attain a sense of control and holistic balance. Now with 19 locations across 11 cities, Exhale Spa and its signature services have earned mentions in numerous national publications, including People magazine, the New York Times, and O, The Oprah Magazine.
Exhale's signature Core Fusion classes incorporate dance-inspired stretches, yoga poses, and Pilates exercises into total-body workouts that build long, lean limbs and sturdy abdominal muscles over time. For an even more varied workout, the instructors introduce boot-camp techniques, cardio exercises, or multiplication tables to select sessions. Yoga classes present a similar amount of breadth and variety, drawing inspiration from a number of introspective and physically oriented styles. To help hasten physical transformations, nutrition and wellness coaches teach attendees about the impacts of diet. These sessions build an awareness of healthy eating habits through custom meal plans and by teaching clients how to identify the edible parts of a fruit basket.
Many of the center's traditional spa services seek to inspire confidence. Facials pamper and refine skin using everything from green tea and fruit extracts to microcurrent technology, and mani-pedis revitalize digits before glazing nails with a vibrant new coat of color. Bodywork treatments look beyond physical relaxation and focus on holistic concerns. Massage therapists can use Eastern or Western modalities to soothe overstressed musculature, and acupuncture treatments and reiki sessions jump-start natural healing processes by encouraging the free flow of inner energies.
When Kate Danta opened P.B. Yoga & Healing Arts, she envisioned more than a simple yoga studio. Her holistic health center would offer both Pilates and yoga classes that explored different types of practice along with a range of wellness services such as massage and acupuncture. Kate is a holistic health practitioner, a massage therapist, and a yoga instructor with 30 years of experience, herself, so she was in a unique position to make her dream become reality. Rather than doing everything herself, Kate assembled a staff of certified massage therapists, naturopathic healers, and yoga instructors to add their knowledge of Svaroopa, Kripalu, and Kundalini yoga to the studio's repertoire.
Visitors to the holistic studio can choose to better their bodies and minds by choosing to attend classes or visiting one of the staff's variety of physical and spiritual healers. During yoga sessions, instructors lead students through guided relaxations, breathing techniques, and yoga poses to help clients build flexibility and relax deep spinal muscles. Pilates mat classes are taught by an experienced instructor who sold her thriving studio in order to move to San Diego and join the staff at PB Yoga and Healing Arts to challenge clients' muscles with small isometric movements, which work to improve posture and protect the back by building strength throughout the core. The studio also has a Pilates Specialist whose background includes the New York Ballet Co. She works one-on-one with the help of the Gyrotonic equipment and the Pilates Reformer. The studio's on-staff licensed acupuncturist specializes in sports medicine, and can relieve chronic pain by carefully placing needles in strategic points along the body. Clients can achieve spiritual balance with visits to a Sunday morning meditation class facilitated by an ordained Zen Buddhist monk, Tenshin; who also teaches the Tai Chi classes. The center also offers sessions with an on-staff practitioner who can deliver both psychic readings and spiritual counseling to help clients reach inner peace.
Tova Yaron brings 40 years of international skincare training to her full-service health and wellness spas. Tova has spent her time perfecting her skills in the beauty industry before opening Tova Day Spa in early 2000. Less than a decade later, she established a second location in The Fairmont Hotel, where her team pampers clients from all walks of life—including locals, tourists, and celebrities such as Jon Lovitz, Carrie Fisher, and Jay Mohr.
From within the tranquil spa, aestheticians keep skin radiant by employing 11 types of facials along with a roster of skin enhancements—from an exfoliating peel to wrinkle-reducing LED light therapy. Antioxidant-rich ingredients such as green tea and Dead Sea mineral mud draw out toxins during body wraps, and a complimentary scalp massage squashes tension and errant thought bubbles. The staff also tends to nails and coifs, and combines many treatments for full-day spa experiences. Between sessions, guests can make use of the spa's luxurious facilities, which include men and women's locker rooms, relaxation lounge, heated whirlpools, steam rooms, and sauna.
When Earthbody looks to hire new massage therapists and licensed aestheticians, it doesn't consider recent graduates—rather, it's looking for people with years of training and experience beneath their belts, and who still love what they do. It wants people who are healers at heart, able to lavish each client with skillful services and attention. Each detail at Earthbody has been carried out with similar mindfulness—from the spa's own line of organic body and facial products, all crafted in small batches in San Francisco, to little luxuries such as heated and infused foot towels and complimentary tea service.
To set the mood, the staff lights soy candles and tea lights, which burn cleanly so that even those with allergies can breathe easily. Surrounded by this soft glow, aestheticians renew skin with facials or treat bodies to massages that not only make muscles feel great but also uproot deep-seated tension. After each session—be it a couples massage or hot-oil Indian scalp treatment—the staff can compost, recycle, or launder everything used during the sessions. Dr. Shawn Goozh, a licensed clinical psychologist, also offers somatic-psychotherapy sessions that use bodywork to deepen traditional psychotherapy.
The staff's attention to detail hasn't gone unnoticed by the media. "This intimate Hayes Valley spot is more healing center than mere day spa," writes the San Francisco Bay Guardian. "Therapists are trained in several modalities and develop custom sessions for every client, including consultations before and after treatment." In 2010, SF Weekly named Earthbody its pick for best day spa, citing its "ecological sustainability and ancient holistic rites."
Though threading has been among Asia's most popular depilation methods for thousands of years, it only recently made its way onto the service menus of Western spas. The ancient practice has shown signs of becoming more of a spa mainstay, however, thanks to an eco-friendly process that also manages to stay on good terms with sensitive skin.
For evidence of threading's rapidly expanding popularity, one need not look further than Brow Shapes' Eastern-inspired treatment menu. When not sculpting brows into precise arches, the spa's artists rely on their attention to detail to draw henna tattoos that depict flowery swirls, geometric patterns, or extremely detailed public-transit maps. The spa also features a variety of facial massages, each of which can be customized to relieve pain, aid in relaxation, and improve skin tone.
The staff at Healing Arts Institute instructs aspiring therapists in body work that aims to eliminate pain from the center of the body. Anatomy and physiology classes, classrooms with full-length mirrors, and more than 1,600 square feet of space help interns learn body mechanics. A vast understanding of the body's inner workings help them as they move from classroom study to the school's onsite spa, where clients can schedule massages with them or with the school's experts. Student interns complete over 200 hours of training, and while beginning interns perform gentle Swedish-style massages, more advanced practitioners can quell injuries with their handiwork. Regardless of style, all of Healing Arts Institute's clients depart from the massage clinic feeling more relaxed than a sloth traveling through a speed trap.
Healing Arts Institute also has a community-acupuncture clinic where a licensed acupuncturist, not a student, inserts needles into several clients at once. Clients lie back in recliners and rest while the needles go to work. Because the acupuncturist can treat multiple people at a time and no private treatment rooms are used, community acupuncture costs less than private acupuncture. It is also the type of acupuncture commonly used in Asia.

Carlo Ancelotti hopes to turn around poor fortunes vs. Barcelona
It isn't just because of the no-smoking rule at the Camp Nou that Carlo Ancelotti's relationship with FC Barcelona, as both a player and a coach, can be characterized as a tale of close but no cigar.
The Italian, who will coach in his first Clasico this Saturday as manager of Real Madrid, has a history of missing out or coming up short against the Catalans.
Remember, for example, back to his playing days at the club he's indelibly linked to: AC Milan. That's where Ancelotti won two Italian titles and two European Cups as part of the great Arrigo Sacchi side, which both dominated and revolutionized continental football in the late 1980s and early '90s. But Ancelotti retired 24 months before Fabio Capello's Milan destroyed Johan Cruyff's Barcelona in that Athens Champions League final of 1994. The Barca of Romario, Pep Guardiola, Ronald Koeman and Rafa Nadal's uncle, Miguel Angel, were treated like rag dolls by Dejan Savicevic, Marcel Desailly Paolo Maldini, Roberto Donadoni and Mauro Tassotti. It was a defeat that scarred Catalan football psychology for a long time, and is still regularly invoked today. But Ancelotti had moved on. He missed it.
Then, as a coach of the Rossoneri, Ancelotti lost to Barcelona in a Champions League group game in 2004-05, thanks to an 89th minute Ronaldinho goal -- an impressive draw at the Camp Nou ripped out of his clutches.
Worse was to follow.
Just more than a year later, his former Milan teammate-turned-manager Frank Rijkaard had made Barcelona exciting and feisty. The scenario was the Champions League semifinal, and Ancelotti's Milan had lost 1-0 at home. However, they conjured up a fine performance and kept the Camp Nou, packed with 99,000 fans that night, right on the edge of their seats. Had the German ref not incorrectly disallowed Andriy Shevchenko's headed goal midway through the second half, Ancelotti's side would have earned extra time, too.
Ancelotti missed out on another opportunity against Barcelona in the 2011-12 season. He left Chelsea just 10 months before his successor, Roberto Di Matteo, led a 10-man Blues side to a remarkable 2-2 (2-3 aggregate) semifinal win over the Catalans, despite Petr Cech's goal being pummeled by Barcelona.
And last season, Ancelotti continued the theme that, so far at least, the Catalan football HQ reserves an unfriendly, unlucky face for this legendary Italian.
In the Champions League quarterfinals, Ancelotti's PSG side were outplayed in the first leg in Paris, but a late, offside goal was allowed to stand and the tie was balanced at 2-2 for the Camp Nou second leg. Thanks to a Zlatan Ibrahimovic assist and a Javier Pastore goal, PSG led 3-2 on aggregate. And until Pedro equalised with just a quarter of an hour left, allowing Barca to advance on away goals, it was the French club that was en route to facing Bayern in the semifinal.
However, Ancelotti produced a game plan and inspired his squad sufficiently that there was a moment in that Champions League quarterfinal that still threatens to affect the Italian's debut as a Clasico coach this Saturday. That moment involved, who else, but Lionel Messi.
Having scored a mighty goal in the Paris match, Messi injured his thigh, came off at half-time, and shouldn't really have been declared fit for the return match. But he was desperate to play. Then coach Tito Vilanova knew how painful defeat to Chelsea in the semifinal a year earlier had been, and how close Barca had already come to elimination at the hands of Milan. So Messi started on the bench in the return leg, came on just after the hour and changed the tide of the game, helping to create Pedro's goal that put his team in the final four.
Yet Messi's efforts in trying to vault Ancelotti's team caused his injury to worsen. In the Champions League semis, he was ineffective in the first leg, a 4-0 defeat to Bayern, absent from the second leg and played just more than 160 minutes of the remaining 720 in La Liga.
Since then, Messi's fitness -- having been industrially strong and a trademark of his greatness – has become an issue. He's had three thigh muscle problems since April, and while his reappearance as a sub against Osasuna last week and his goal against Milan on Tuesday signify that he seems physically ready for the Madrid test, the little Argentinian hasn't yet looked as if he's fizzing with form.
When he pulled up with a thigh muscle strain in Almeria on Sept. 28, it came minutes after he'd struck a phenomenally powerful shot past Suarez Esteban to give Barcelona the lead. Sprinting, shooting with power -- essential to his genius but a constant strain on those piston-strong thighs.
Whether there's any thought of regretting the numerous international flights and charity football matches with which Messi filled his summer, we've yet to learn. But, following years of goal scoring supremacy to go with his unique speed and skill, Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo is now significantly ahead of the Argentinian in the Champions League contest, having just equalled Pippo Inzaghi's competition record of seven goals in just three group games.
The Portuguese is seizing his chance while Messi tries to fine-tune his over-worked physique. Moreover, Ronaldo has scored eight times in his past six visits to the Camp Nou on Liga, Supercopa and Copa del Rey visits. Only two of those have been wins, but probably the two most important, pretty much guaranteeing Madrid's title in 2012 and knocking Barca out of the Cup semifinal last January.
What Ancelotti's Milan and PSG teams have shown in the past is that the coach is very clear on how to defeat Barcelona at home. He's just lacked either a smidgen of the outright excellence to enforce it, or the trace of luck that all great champions welcome without bashfulness. Ancelotti arrived at Madrid like a cool breeze let in through an open window to clear an obstinate smell. The smell of failure.
Jose Mourinho's tenure had some genuine highs, and if Morata, Jese, Diego Lopez or Rafa Varane are the stars of a Madrid victory Saturday, he'll be able to legitimately claim an influence on the result. Their advancement owes greatly to the departed coach.
But Mourinho caused, and left behind, acrimony, anger, division and he failed to win the requisite number of important trophies. Ancelotti almost doesn't resemble the Portuguese in any way. Mr. Affable to Mr. Angry. The man who can happily salute a club president every day of the year for an 8 million euro salary, compared with the man who tells the president exactly whose club it is and how to run it.
Right now, though, the football that Real Mourinho played compared to how Real Ancelotti are playing isn't substantively different. Ancelotti's promise, on arrival, was to bring flair, to enthuse the Bernabeu and win La Decima (or attempt to) with the panache that would please president Florentino Perez, sponsors and TV rights buyers around the globe.
That said, Ancelotti knows that right now, this moment, it all comes down to the Clasico. With a win or a draw, there will be a tidal wave of sentiments from fans, the media (domestic and international) and, more importantly, the office of the president. It's early and things are developing. We are on track to win everything. Ancelotti is still dealing with problems Mourinho left behind. Lose and he'll be a mouse being circled by hawks.
The fact that it wasn't Ancelotti who wanted to sign Gareth Bale this summer, or claimed he knew how to fit the Welshman in without a personal say in how the midfield was reshaped, will be forgotten. The slow, and sometimes barely detectable, improvements in play will be highlighted and made to seem catastrophic when they are not.
Even some wise heads will write or broadcast with Cyclops vision by zoning in on the fact that Mourinho seemed to have Barcelona's number in head-to-head battles over the past year and a half. Yet they'll ignore the fact that Barca kept on racking up significant numbers of trophies while Madrid couldn't do so during Mourinho's reign.
These are some of the key ideas with which Ancelotti needs to wrestle, and ensure that the correct answers emerge.
1) Is it completely the coach's choice as to whether Bale, signed on a presidential whim as the most expensive player ever, starts the match -- or will it be permanently held against him by Perez if common sense says that Bale's state of match-fitness means that he starts on the bench when the world is watching this mega-attention Clasico?
2) Does Dani Carvajal's excellent ball winning, impressive athleticism and superior use of the ball as a rampaging right back win him his place ahead of the more experienced, more defensive Alvaro Arbeloa?
3) If Bale plays, and Ancelotti admits the Welshman has a preference for playing down the right, is Angel Di Maria (Madrid's best player this season) shifted to the left wing and Ronaldo played down the middle in a 4-3-3?
4) Although Madrid have looked vastly more compact in midfield since they used their third playing system of the season, 4-3-3, is it feasible that by going man-to-man with Barcelona, a small advantage is handed back to the side that has played that system better than anyone over the past five years?
5) Is there such a spotlight on the supposed lack of refereeing support for Neymar, given how often he's fouled and how rarely those who do so are shown yellow or red cards, that Madrid will have to be careful how they play him. Or will referee Undiano Mallenco stick to type and allow the most physical liberty shown in Spanish football, as has recently been the case, when he takes charge of a Clasico?
Two questions to which Ancelotti already knows the answers are: Does the state of Messi's form fundamentally affect Madrid's chance of taking home a result? And what kind of reception awaits if we lose?
Is it cigar time for Ancelotti at the Camp Nou yet?

It seems very strange to me that there are so few hotels that cater specifically to the needs of the so called road warrior. I personally want to avoid hotels/motels full of parents+kids. Screaming in the halls and/or a soccer game going full blast in the late hours. The bedlam in the morning while trying to get something to eat is ridiculous. Who the hell wants to travel?
Where are the hotels that cater to the business traveler???

It is so widespread that by 2005, 400 million individuals had been affected by obesity worldwide.
Coronary disease, high blood pressure levels, diabetes, heart stroke, downturns, etc. are the typical health issues which can be very possible for obese individuals.

Always be safe and don't binge!
Much of soda's constituents is really sugars. Lowering soda consumption may bring down your calorie consumption. Excessive sugar consumption together with low levels of workout may cause fat gain. Sugar consumption can cause a lots of harm. Keep track of how much carbs you eat.

Exercise must have a very prominent place in your plans. There's a direct correlation between cardiovascular workout and weight loss. You can boost your metabolic rate by aerobic activity, which can let you reduce weight. Circuit training, running or walking on a fitness treadmill machine, swimming laps or using a stair stepper are typical examples of effective cardiovascular workout. You should also never overlook including strength training. The process of muscle development will let you burn fat.
Losing your abdominal fat is actually never ever a cakewalk, it calls for sustained efforts that take a great deal of work. However, the returns are going to make it a lot more than worth your while, because in the end, you will gain the ultimate gain possible – improved wellness both emotionally as well as physically. Isn't that a good reason for you to get started today?

RENO — Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District's new Fire Chief Charles Moore stood in front of a packed Washoe County Commission Chambers, staring out at his new crew of freshly trained fire fighters and began to speak late Friday.
"A lot of people said this wasn't going to happen," Moore told the crowd. "I'm pleased to tell you … we're ready to go on July 1."
The crowd, filled with wives, children, friends, County Commissioners and community leaders erupted in applause before a ceremony to officially stand up and staff county fire services in Truckee Meadows.
A line of men and women, just graduated from a two-week course in firefighting, wore shades of blue uniforms as they lined the back of the wooden walls, hands folded. They stood ready to receive the badges to be worn as the first county-operated Truckee Meadows fire fighters in decades.
"What it took to get ready for this was by no means an easy task,"
Moore told them. "There were so many pieces of the puzzle to put together to make this happen.
"I'm so proud to be able to call myself a
teammate to this group," Moore said.
Lynn Curns of Fernley, wife of new firefighter Dave Curns and mother of their two
children, sat in anticipation in the audience.
"He's earned this," she said.
Washoe County Commissioner Bob Larkin gave Moore credit to pulling
together one of the more difficult tasks the county has had to face in
the recent past — resurrecting a fire district from the ashes after
divorcing from the City of Reno fire services.
"I'm very proud of you to recreate the Truckee Meadows Fire Protection
District," Larkin told Moore. "You have our unswerving devotion. We
support you 100 percent.
"It's the right thing to do, it's the right time to do it. Let's get
it on," Larkin said.
The struggle was a tough road for Washoe County and the City of Reno
as the governmental entities untied agreements to provide fire
protection throughout northern Nevada. The county's decision to
divorce from the city came with several obstacle courses.
Fiscally, the county decided it was in the best interest of its
budget to stand up its own services, though in the end, it cost the
county more to provide those services. The move also cost the county
the loss of fire protection in the form of fire crews. Instead of
staffing each station with four-man crews, the county decided to
downgrade stations to three - or two-man crews, but keep all stations
Washoe Commissioners, acting as the Board of Fire Commissioners,
approved final budgets for its new fire districts calling for the
county to spend $4.78 million for Truckee Meadows Fire Protection
District and $9.9 million for Sierra Fire.
"The budgets adopted today will establish a strong financial
foundation for a sustainable level of service for the future. Our
budgets match service capability to financial capacity, which will
result in a sound financial future," Moore said. "As of July 1, the
new Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District will be comprised of 115
full-time employees, 120 volunteer firefighters and 60 logistical
volunteers. Eleven career stations and 13 volunteer stations will
serve the citizens of the district."
Some residents still are not clear about whether the county's decision
to divorce from the city of Reno and attempt to provide fire service
with fewer crew members at each station was a prudent move.
Federal minimum standards call for at least a three-man crew to be
staffed at a fire station. However, three-man crews cannot enter a
burning building if there is no confirmed victim inside. In such
cases, freighters must wait for more personnel to arrive before
entering. In the meantime, they can take alternate measures to ensure
the fire does not catch neighboring properties on fire.
When the consolidation was in place, stations were staffed with
four-man crews, which many felt were safer in the event of a fire.
Several steps were taken in the proceeding months in rapid-fire
succession to prepare the new district to assume fire duties.
On June 15, the district celebrated a grand opening of the Arrowcreek
Fire Station as a prelude to Sunday's official turnover. One more
piece to Washoe County's new fire service puzzle was put into place
Tuesday when commissioners approved hiring six fire dispatchers at a
cost of $525,000. The move was made in the event the county could not
come to an agreement with Reno to continue dispatch service to the
region. To head off any complications, commissioners agreed with the
Washoe County Sheriff's Office to hire the new dispatchers, bringing
the dispatch ranks from 30 to 36.
Sierra Fire, which will merge with Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District
after July 1, with 40 personnel, had three permanent stations with a
fourth that was expected to come online beginning May 16.
"We'd like to continue to always have four (person crews)," said Alex
Kukulus, Firefighters Association President for IAFF 3895 Sierra Fire
Protection District. "It's best for the community. But based on the
budget right now we didn't feel it was feasible at this time."
As soon as the county realizes more funding in the fire services
budget Kukulus said he is hopeful the district can return to four-man
A cooperative agreement between the City of Sparks Fire Department and
Truckee Meadows was approved. A cooperative Fire agreement and annual
operating plan between the USDA Humboldt, Toiyabe National Forest
Carson Ranger District was achieved. A cooperative agreement with
Storey County Fire and the Truckee Meadows district was approved. A
cooperative agreement with Carson City on behalf of the Carson City
Fire Department was approved and a cooperative agreement with North
Lyon County Fire Protection District and Truckee Meadows was approved.
"The (Fire) Board also approved an amendment with the City of Reno
amending the time by which the agreement terminates from June 30, 2012
at midnight to July 1, 2012 at 8 a.m., which is a mutually agreed-upon
time among the fire chiefs," Moore said. "By moving the time frame, it
will allow for a reasonable transition for both districts during the
daylight hours."
The TMFPD/SFPD Consolidated Fire District budget includes 24-hour,
seven-days-a-week staffing for 11 career fire stations, and 13
volunteer fire stations servicing all areas of the fire district,
including Caughlin Ranch, Windy Hill, Verdi and Hidden Valley.
The budget was based on the Board of Fire Commissioners' March 27
decision to implement an alternative plan for a TMFPD/SFPD
consolidated fire district after the county could not come to a joint
agreement with the city of Reno to jointly provide automatic aid. Reno
has pulled out of providing auto aid to the county.
Residents within the Truckee Meadows district will pay more in taxes
due to the county's decision.
The decision established a tax rate of 54 cents per $100 of assessed
value for both the fire districts. This is an increase of
approximately 2 percent, or 6.87 cents, in the Truckee Meadows Fire
Protection District — a $24 per year increase in the average property
tax bill for fire service.
The tax rate for SFPD changed from 52 cents to 54 cents per $100 of
assessed value for a less than 1 percent increase in the average
property tax bill. Due to a decline in assessed valuation, however, it
is anticipated the average tax bill will still experience a decrease
even with the increase in the districts' tax rates.
Moore said during a report in the Commission Chambers: "This financial
sustainability is due to the strong, conservative financial leadership
of the district's Board of Fire Commissioners with the tremendous
assistance from our Firefighters' Union IAFF Local 3895 and Chief
Officers Association. These employees stepped forward and saved the
Consolidated Fire District $2.5 million per year due to negotiating
minimum three-person engine companies and salary levels consistent
with regional parity.
"These employees put public safety above themselves and were equally
dedicated to ensuring fire stations were kept open, as was the Board
of Fire Commissioners," Moore said.
Washoe County Commissioners hired Moore, a 23-year fire chief veteran
from Eagle River Fire Protection District in Colorado to lead the
resurrected Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District beginning April
TMFPD was first established in 1972 and entered into a mutual aid
agreement with the City of Reno after its formation. From 2000 to
2012, all fire service to TMFPD was provided to residents by an
Interlocal Agreement with Reno and serviced by City of Reno
firefighters. For this service, the 83,000 residents living within the
733 square-miles of the TMFPD district paid for a portion of the
combined fire service budget.
The TMFPD Board of Fire Commissioners, made up of the Washoe County
Commissioners, decided to dissolve the agreement in June of last year,
recognizing that maintaining the fire service agreement with Reno
without cost saving adjustments reflecting current economic conditions
was not sustainable.
When first established, TMFPD had a fire chief and its own
firefighters. Once consolidated with the agreement, all firefighters
were laid off, yet the department still owned its own equipment,
generated its own taxes and income and contracted employees out of the
Reno Fire Department.
May 3, Mayor Bob Chashell announced that the City of Reno had received
a $13 million, 2-year federal grant with the help of Sen. Harry Reid
(D-Nev.), allowing the city to keep all city stations open with
four-man crews.
The move came after the county's decision put 80 Reno fire fighters in
jeopardy of losing their jobs, Cashell said.
"We had to go out and protect our citizens and that's what we did," he
told the Daily Sparks Tribune. "And so we were able to set it up for
two years. I"m just as happy as I can be. We had to start working to
take care of our side. It's a great day."
As a result, the city did not have to issue layoff notices.
In April, Sierra Fire Protection District, which will merge with
Truckee Meadows, announced it will draw down crews to minimum staffing
levels in order to keep all four of its stations open and maintain
firefighters on the payroll in a contract agreed to with Washoe County
As doors are unlocked Sunday morning and the newly badged crews begin
to pick up calls as Truckee Meadows Fire Protection fire fighters,
they face more than the political aftermath of the past few months.
Northern Nevada fire forecasters have predicted one of the worst fire
seasons in the millennium this season.
According to Western Great Basin Coordination Center more than 600,000
acres of the state's terrain is predicted to burn this fire season. With two weeks of fire training under their new belts and badges, the fire fighters face obstacles this summer that have already started to surface east of the state.

Summary of Malled to Death Summary of Malled to Death Reviews for Malled to Death An Excerpt from Malled to Death
Get ready for a second take.
With a famous action star for a father, mall cop EJ Ferris is used to the Hollywood hullabaloo. But when her mall becomes his movie set, the cameramen aren't the only ones who start shooting…
Protecting the shoppers at the Fernglen Galleria may not be EJ's dream job, but neither is working for her father's film production company. That's why EJ is less than thrilled when her dad arranges to shoot his upcoming film, Mafia Mistress, in her mall. With the arrival of the movie entourage, EJ suddenly has more than shoplifting teens to worry about.
Bombarded by overeager assistants and fan mail, EJ's famous father makes for an easy target—especially after a scare involving a gun loaded with blanks. Zoe, the prop master, blames herself for the mistake. But when a real bullet is fired and Zoe is killed, Fernglen Galleria is shaken by more than just Hollywood drama. Cut the cameras—there's a real gunman on the loose…

The Redeemer Vision
As a church of Jesus Christ, Redeemer exists to help build a great city for all people through a movement of the gospel that brings personal conversion, community formation, social justice, and cultural renewal to New York City and, through it, the world.
On September 27, 2009 Redeemer launched the RENEW Campaign. This campaign is funding the first phase of our 10-year plan, in which Redeemer will remain one church but will meet as three "generative" congregations in New York City on the East Side, the West Side and Downtown, unleashing more of the leadership potential in our church, and moving out into many neighborhoods across NYC to do the kind of dynamic outreach to friends and service to our neighbors that first brought Redeemer into being. More information is available at: http://renew.redeemer.com.

Pre Crisis Superboy (Clark Kent / Kal El)
Kesel's Superboy (Kon El)
Johns' Superboy (Conner Kent)
DCnu Superboy
Last edited by C-Dot; 04-22-2012 at 11:16 PM.
To say it's easier for someone to use the Johns one isn't exactly accurate. When it comes to a creative business, you can use the Kesel version just like you can use the Johns one or even a time displaced alt universe Clark Kent or a future Superman like Kell-El. It's all in execution and what you use. And the Kesel one has enough to put in a shared universe or to create a damn good series. The original Young Justice with Tim, Bart, Kon, Cassie, Secret, and the other team members would have made a good series too.
And not every character has to be connected to Superman. He can have his own villians and the original Match is definitely villain material. Thing is you can have something original without the character being a Superman (no pun intended) clone.
I've never had any trouble syncing Kesel's Superboy with Johns', since David's Young Justice makes a very convincing turn toward maturity for me, and I never really bought the degree of Kon's wannabe playboy-ness. In my mind, much of Superboy's personality at the beginning of the Kesel run is assumed: he was just born, and he's playing the part of the strictly independent adult hero which Cadmus intended him to become ("don't ever call me Superboy!"). His direction in Kesel's second run (I've really never sat down and read much of the original series besides Kesel and Kelly) was far more mature, as he took responsibility within Cadmus and also became humanity's liason with the Animal-Men (or whatever those guys were called). Black Zero, an excellent story, made him confront the power within his grasp and decide the direction he wished to go in the future. His libido also seemed to relax a little after Tana died... as I remember, he didn't have another girlfriend until Cassie.
Young Justice placed him in more trying circumstances, among his superpowered equals, and he also went through some major **** during that period, including Our Worlds At War (love the Superboy tie-in by Kelly) and the whole Secret saga. I've never read Graduation Day, but I'm sure the tragedies which accompanied that and led him to live with the Kents were also instrumental in his transformation.
As for the Luthor retcon, I think the difference between knowing of Luthor's contribution versus Westfield, who was just kind-of a lecherous dick, but nothing major, against a serious, true evil, would be enough to produce doubts as yet unseen. Also, Luthor activated a sleeper command in Conner's brain, which would seriously shake his confidence in being free and autonomous. Overall, he began to really consider the legacy he was now bearing, and as indicated by that neat 'checklist' plot device in Adventure Comics, he was making intentional steps to being closer to Clark and further from Luthor.
So, while I haven't read as much peripheral material about Conner as many of you, I think the change to his Titans version was organic. Whether you like it or not is really what I think is affecting the opinions of some. I didn't like Bart's change one bit, but I still feel it made sense given the trauma (Johns' main calling card) which he suffers.
Edit: Also, avatar notwithstanding, I prefer the Kesel Superboy by a slight margin. Adventure Comics Conner comes very close, though.

Mort Weisinger was the man.
Curt Swan , John Sikela, George Pap, Kurt Schaffenberger, Al Plastino on the art. Otto Bender and Jerry Siegel and Ed Hamilton on the writing.
Like the black T-Shirt/ YJ TV version too.
Im pretty new to Superboy Can't comment other Superboys, but I like new DCnU Superboy I think powers unique and cool sets him apart other Supers I see his personality start developing more, I really like Tron S costume its really badass and cool, much pefer it to his jeans and t-shirt look I really hope keep his Tron S costume once Nowhere arc done.
I kinda like all of them.
But I grew up with the pre-Crisis/member of the LSH Superboy, so I guess he gets my vote.
As much as I like John's version of Superboy, DCNu Superboy is really growing on me.
So I'll have to go with the underdog here :)
Like you said it's a shared universe so you keep things streamed lined and never only focus one one character.
So "Superman's half clone" or "Superman's clone" is much more accessible to people who have never read about him or even ever read a comic book, than "Human clone made to mimic Superman". The former instills a stronger link to the Superman world for people who have never read or seen Superboy (everyone that's not us) than the latter.
Also it's pretty interesting to note that Superboy was only human (in the 90s) because of the editorial mandate in the 80s that Superman should be the only kryptonian. This is also the only reason Matrix Supergirl was not kryptonian.
2. *sigh* This "more accessible" thing is not fact when you're dealing with individuals who are not a single minded collective. You speak like no one would get this idea or no one ever did get the idea when it's science fiction (where you deal with stories that are not "simplistic"). And the idea is not even close to being complex or hard to understand like you're making it out to be. Many people got the character, new and old, for it to be a successful comic. If they didn't, the new readers would have just dropped it. If you really think comics and media based on comics have to be "simplistic", then you're in the wrong media when simplistic rarely happens. It could have been simplistic to make Superman a superhuman. Or Batman a Bat-man. Or Wonder Woman a human. Come on now....."
And again, Superboy's genetics are owed all to Superman. He's a clone based on Superman, made to be like Superman, and had his own distinct powers to be the NEXT Superman. Key word: "Superman". He already had a link to the Superman world without being a literal clone. So Steel should be Kryptonian or the Eradicator should be a literal Kryptonian just to make them connected to Superman? Geez....
Actually, one of the Supermen, the Cyborg, was the only true genetic clone of Superman and was for years. Mind of a human, body of Kryptonian flesh and Kryptonian steel. There literally was another Kryptonian running around so that "mandate" wasn't exactly stopping them for that to happen. If they wanted to, they could have made him a literal clone. From Karl Kesel's mouth, the idea for Superboy was out of a brainstorming session when they suggested ways that Superman could come back from the dead and one idea was a clone. They took the clone idea combined with Grummett's drawing and the rest was history.Also it's pretty interesting to note that Superboy was only human (in the 90s) because of the editorial mandate in the 80s that Superman should be the only kryptonian. This is also the only reason Matrix Supergirl was not kryptonian.

Lots of old school fans in here. I couldn't get into him in the 90s. That get up he had on was just too out there.
T-shirt n' jeans Connor bored me. No hate on the old-school fans, but this is the first time I've ever bought a Superboy comic and as you can see form my avatar, still dig it.

Rick Gosselin's top Super Bowl moments; where do Cowboys rank?
7. Scott Norwood's wide right:
New York controlled the ball for more than 40 minutes, limiting scoring opportunities for Jim Kelly and Buffalo's K-Gun offense in the 1991 Super Bowl. The Bills still had a chance to steal the game when Norwood lined up for a 47-yard field goal attempt in the closing seconds. His kick sailed wide right, and the Giants prevailed, 20-19.

Adam Lanza's mother considered suing Sandy Hook Elementary School, according to a new report, due to the intense bullying her son endured there.
Nancy Lanza reportedly believed teachers at the Newtown, Conn., school turned a blind eye to beatings and taunts Adam suffered from his classmates.
A relative, speaking to the N.Y. Daily News, claimed that mass murderer Lanza was ridiculed and attacked by fellow students at his boyhood alma mater.
"Nancy felt fiercely protective of him," the relative said. "She was convinced the school wasn't doing enough to protect Adam. It made her irate."
She was gunned down by 20-year-old Adam Lanza on December 14, 2012. He then drove her car to Sandy Hook Elementary and killed 26 people.
Obviously a disturbed individual, Adam had been socially withdrawn for years. It's hard to pinpoint why or when it started, or if it could've been prevented.
Still, Nancy struggled with people bullying her son often, family members say, and even went to school in an effort to catch his classmates in the act.
"Adam would come home with bruises all over him," the relative said. "His mom would ask what was wrong, and he wouldn't say. He would just sit there.
"She was trying to get proof. She wanted to know where the bruises came from."
Nancy considered a lawsuit against the school, though it's not clear if she pursued that. What is clear is that this was a troubled youth from an early age.
Relatives said Adam Lanza never seemed emotionally right after his time in Sandy Hook. Nancy Lanza switched him to another school after sixth grade.
"He was a sick boy," the relative told the Daily News.
Mother and son shared a Newtown home where they were heavily armed with rifles, knives, Samurai swords, a 7-foot spear and 1,600 rounds of ammunition.
Investigators found a Sandy Hook report card inside the house, along with a holiday gift card from mother to son with a check for him to buy a new gun.
The tragedy has sparked nationwide gun control discussion, with Connecticut recently passing the nation's toughest laws; federally, the debate rages on.

I think the mom and son were both a little (or more) nuts. According to friends and relatives, Adam was never quite right. That his mom sent him to a mainstream school where he was abused and that she continued to send him there to be abused instead of pulling him out and sending him to an alternative school or getting him mental help doesn't seem like the acts of a mother with a good handle on things herself or like a mother who truly cared about her kid, like she kept sending him to that school to show others he was mentally or psychologically normal when he wasn't.
That's what I was trying to say. Adam's mother should have removed him from mainstream school and found him alternative schooling where he'd be safe, and hopefully happier. Instead, she just kept sending him to a place where he was being abused. How reasonable or rational is that!!!
When I read something like this; little wonder that anyone (let alone someone with Aspergers) would snap at some stage. Rather than focusing on gun debates; why don't we look at the inherent bullying that goes on in schools, & try to address this issue. We can't, as a society; shun, isolate & physically bully those that are a little bit different from the rest of us; without expecting fallout. I feel profoundly sad that this young man endured this sort of abuse in his very short life. It's just a tragedy all round.
