THE ZODIAC LOUNGE Celebrates Bed-Stuy and Beyond in the New Year
Bedford-Stuyvesant, New York City (ContentDesk) January 12, 2006 -- Need to relax?
Need a massage?
Need nutritional counseling after binging during the holidays?
Or do want profound insight on serious personal problem?
Then chances are you can find what you need at the Zodiac Lounge. The Zodiac Lounge, currently only at the Food 4 Thought Caf? (443 Marcus Garvey Boulevard at MacDonough Street) every other Friday, is an alcohol-free mini spa event.There are practitioners on handranging from astrologers to massage therapists to top psychicsto provide 20 minute consultations for attendees.
Participants can also sit out the consultations and enjoy an invigorating natural juice while taking in the entrancing sounds of Bed-Stuys newest mixologist from Los Angeles, DJ 180 (nee Stephen Barrios).The purpose for creating the Zodiac Lounge, according to co-creator Samuel F. Reynolds, an astrologer, was to provide the people of Bed-Stuy with a regular way to chill out and get ready for their weekend with a more spiritual and nurturing bent.
When Will [the owner of Food 4 Thought] approached me about creating an event like this, I saw the immediate opportunity to help people and lift their spirits after perhaps a hard week, the recent Bed-Stuy native said.
Theres also another way that the Zodiac Lounge seeks to lift peoples spirits.
Once a month, the Zodiac Lounge has a birthday party to celebrate the principal sign of the month.
Last Friday, January 6, 2006, the Zodiac Lounge had a birthday celebration for Capricorns.
So its funny, said Food 4 Thought owner Will DeCeus, When I tell people to come out to my birthday party, they ask me if its my birthday.
I tell them, No, but its my party, though.
Then I learn that its their birthday and they feel glad that theres another place where they can come celebrate it.
So its a great way for people to connect, network and feel good about themselves, all in one.
This year the Zodiac Lounge plans to expand to other parts of New York and beyond.
Weve been doing well here in Bed-Stuy, but I see the opportunity to reach even more people in the New Year, said Reynolds.
Currently, were looking for venues in Manhattan, and were very excited about it. The next Zodiac Lounge is January 20, 2006 at Food 4 Thought Caf?, starting at 7:00 pm and ending around 10:30 pm.
The next birthday celebration is for Aquarius on February 17 at the same time.
The Food 4 Thought Caf? is located at 443 Marcus Garvey Boulevard.

Keba produced immediate results at the 2002 Worlds competition, ranking seventh of all competitors (and first on the U.S. team) in spiking percentage. She was a key element of the team's block, its best weapon.

Records show it was the best performance the women had at a World Championship since 1967, when it placed second for the silver medal. Keba missed the final because of an eye injury, and the U.S.
lost, 3-2.
Keba went on to help the U.S finish third at the 2003 World Cup to qualify for Athens. With Keba as its most experienced player, the U.S. has a chance for its first Olympic medal since 1992. The ReturnThrough the...

See the Birthday of Britney Spears & Other 1980s Star Babies
The 1980s was a glorious decade to say the least. This decade initiated great cultural and technological advances which still are shaping the world in which we live today. Companies launched in this decade include CNN, MTV, USA Today, and technology unleashed in this decade were the video recorder, personal computer, compact discs, satellite dishes and the grandaddy of video games today - Pac-Man. Meanwhile, in the rest of the country, babies were nursing, beggining to crawl, walk or talk. These were no ordinary babies - but Star Babies.
Of course at the time they were oblivious to their potential and the influence that they would later have on the lives of all of us.

Time- How It Changes Everything?
The clock ticks non-stop and the time passes by. Time used to pass even when the clocks were not there. What is time and how it affects us in our thoughts, shall we examine? Let us go to our childhood days. We were small kids. We had no worries, no need for inspiration and no goals.
Our only goals were to find new ways to play and look at everything curiously. Even passing clouds makes a small kid wonder about what it is. Look at these screensavers with clouds and you will realize the beauty of the graceful motion.
Everything has changed. Now our perception of life has changed totally. If we are in our youth or middle age, we are worried about many things.
We have to plan for money. We have to set goals and achieve them. We are becoming passionate and frustrated with many things. On and on, we are changing. Why? Time has brought these changes.
If you are an old...
