| Father and son want to build upscale tattoo salon in Norfolk
Fuzion Ink has applied for permission to open on Granby Street, but don't call it a tattoo parlor. Its owners say it will be a "tattoo salon," with stylish decor and an upscale clientele dominated by stroller moms, not biker dudes. Fuzion's father-and-son team, Tommy Glaser and Tommy Glaser Jr., are the first to apply to run a tattoo business since the city lifted its 56-year ban in September. "Since it's been a long time, we want to do something that will stand out," said Glaser Sr., 48, a contractor and retired New York City firefighter. "We're going to change the image of a tattoo parlor," said Glaser Jr., 27, a Norfolk police officer. "We want to set a new standard for Norfolk." The two plan to transform a storefront, now storage space for Bress Pawn Shop, into a salon with plasma televisions, terrazzo floors, paintings and sculptures.
Sobczak's account of Florida's most notorious predator attacks hits close to home
Environmentalist-author Charles Sobczak's book, "Alligators, Sharks & Panthers: Deadly Encounters with Florida's Top Predator -- Man" has been released, and hits close to home given the infamous gator attacks chronicled from this area. Crime literature takes many forms, but Charles Sobczak has tapped into a niche of particular interest to Floridians: the justice, or lack of justice, in man's fatal clashes with native predators. In his latest book, "Alligators, Sharks & Panthers: Deadly Encounters with Florida's Top Predator -- Man," Sobczak tries to objectively recount many of the state's most notorious cases. Don't be surprised, though, if the Sanibel Island author's riveting accounts tend, at times, to blur human and creature, in an effort to capture the perspectives of both parties.

Who Won Grammys?
(antiMusic) It felt a little like 1983 when the Police opened the Grammy telecast with their classic "Roxanne". That was the highlight as most of the night showed how far music has fallen in the 20+ years since they scored that hit. There were a few exceptions but that definitely didn't include Mary J. Blige's insanely long ramblings where she thanked everyone on earth and heaven. Like the energizer bunny she kept going and going even after the producers brought on the music to get her off the stage. Milk those 15 minutes! It's also great to see the Academy ignoring music sales trends with an overabundance of rap/R&B awards to help try to bolster the sagging genres, while only giving cursory recognition to genres that sell more (e.g. rock, alternative and metal). Here is a quick look: Alternative Rock Grammy categories: 1
Alternative Unit Sales in 2006: 109,672(000) Rock Grammy Categories: 5
Rock Unit Sales in 2006: 170,726(000) R&B Grammy Categories: 8
R&B Unit Sales in 2006: 117,005(000) Metal/Hard Rock Grammy Categories: 2
Metal Unit Sales in 2006: 61,557(000) Rap Grammy Categories: 5
Rap Unit Sales in 2006: 59,534(000) So Rap which undersold Metal gets 5 Grammys and Metal gets 1 (2 if you count hard rock).
