| Business Happy To See Tan Lines
A tanning salon with a South Beach feel has opened on South Howard Avenue. The Hyde Park Tan Lounge, 204 S. Howard Ave., is a full-service salon that also offers skin therapy and teeth whitening. It features tanning beds imported from Italy, co-owner Sam Singleton said. "It's got a different feel to it," Singleton said. "It caters more to the South Tampa crowd." The salon is decorated with floor-to-ceiling white linen fabric walls, zebra carpeting and Italian glass countertops, he said. There are nine, private tanning stations, and customers can choose beds or stand-up rooms. Singleton said his business partner, Terry Blachek, has 20 years in the fitness business. This is the duo's first tanning salon. He said the first weeks of business have gone well, with as many as 20 people waiting to use the stations.
Rainier Castillo shows skin in his costume as human monkey in "Kamandag"
Isang kakaibang Rainier Castillo ang ipinakilala sa presscon ng Kamandag kagabi, November 12, sa GMA compound. Naka-costume at topless ang young actor nang lumabas sa entablado. Bilang si Ikoy, ang Taong Unggoy, na magiging bantay ni Vergel (Richard Gutierrez) sa mundo ng mga mortal, fully made up ang mukha ni Rainier, complete with a headdress. Pero bukod sa kanyang Egyptian-inspired neck ornament, walang pang-itaas si Rainier, exposing his lean body. Kung wala mang abs na maipagmamalaki si Rainier, wala rin naman siyang tiyan at may umbok ang kanyang dibdib na bumagay sa kanyang well-formed biceps. First time nag-topless sa kahit anong project si Rainier kung kaya't biniro agad namin kung ito ba ang preparation niya for another career change—a daring one.

Wildcat senior quarterback Sean Ransburg scored all four of Harrisonville's touchdowns. The Kansas University signee reached the end zone on runs of 1, 7, 3 and 21 yards.

"Our defense did a good job of putting us in advantageous positions," Harrisonville Coach Fred Bouchard said. "We started (the season) with eight new starters and were young. I'm really pleased with the defense." Bouchard also had high praise for the Monett defense.
