Tropical Xtreme Tanz- Blue Springs, MO tropicalxtremetanz@sbcglobal.net  816-228-2269 Pam, Enoch and families have finally provided the eastern Kansas City area with a very high quality tanning facility at a price everyone can afford. They offer the absolute best tanning beds around. You should check out their high pressure Sunboard tanning bed. It’s the only one you’ll find this side of Colorado. Also, while this may be a top of the line salon, you don’t get the snooty “We’re too good for you here’s your bed take a towel” staff. The people TXT have really made this the premier tanning place. Oh, and I have the best color  I have ever had!
Motor Tabs- Tustin, CA http://www.motortabs.com/
Preventing dehydration during exercise is one of the keys of maintaining exercise performance (particularly in hot/humid environments). People engaged in intense exercise or work in the heat need to frequently ingest water or sports drinks (e.g., 6-8 oz every 10 – 15 minutes). Fluid loss during exercise is related to relative humidity, ambient temperature, clothing and fitness level. Exercise performance can be significantly impaired when 2% or more of body weight is lost through sweat. MotorTabs stops this damage and actually helps your body.
H2O Audio http://www.h2oaudio.com/  Music can improve your mood, increase endurance, and bestow vital motivation. Would Rocky have been able to beat Clubber Lang (a.k.a. Mr.T) without "eye of the tiger" playing in his training montage. We here at H2O Audio think not. We also believe that the inspirational and spiritual power of music should not be reserved only for the Rocky Balboas and other land loving athletes of the world. As surfers, wakeboarders, paddlers, and swimmers we encourage H2O Audio users to experience their music in any element.
