Showcasing the vocals of everyone from Miley Cyrus and Tony Bennett to Mary J. Blige and Lil Wayne; the result is astounding.

Say cheers, what bubbly to buy

By Richard O. Stehli | Feb. 10, 2010

Go ahead and buy the oysters and strawberries at a grocery store, but when it comes to buying the booze, go to a real wine shop.  You will find better selection and lower prices.  Gracey Castine, of Dorn’s Liquors, had plenty of advice to offer on the subject this Valentine’s Day.

The basic bra and panty. One can’t go wrong with a bra-and-panty-set. This look is seductive with lace; sweet with ruffles and flowers; or wild and crazy with neon colors. This is practical because it can be worn under any outfit, so you can whip off your clothes for a special surprise.

Dance like a Pussycat Doll

By ALLISON BANKO | Feb. 10, 2010

Five reasons to drink local

By Richard O. Stehli | Feb. 3, 2010

Last summer, you never would have heard me telling you to drink local, because you couldn’t.  Thankfully, that all started to change in April, when Swamp Head Brewery brewed its first batch of beer.  Founder Luke Kemper returned home from his undergraduate work in beer-soaked Boulder, Colo., and saw Gainesville to be lacking.  In his own words, “I realized how great it would be to have a local beer in Gainesville.”  Last Friday, I had the chance to sit down with Kemper and Swamp Head master brewer Craig Birkmaier to sample the beer and talk shop, and let me assure you, it is great to have a local beer in Gainesville.
