You got the Juice now!!!!!!
It’s lunchtime, and you can’t wait to run and get your lunchbox and devour the lunch that your mom had so lovingly prepared. You usually had a dope sandwich, a snack, and of course a juice box. Remember that juice box was like the best part of your lunch? As a parent have you secretly drank your child’s, Motts, Juicy Juice, or Capri Sun? Don’t worry I won’t tell.
Well if you have don’t be ashamed, as a matter of fact we here at SA2F have got a little secret for you.
Are you ready?
What if I told you we know a spot where you can get your favorite juice boxes, but with a twist. Your favorite juice box infused with alcohol Yep, alcohol. If this is to your liking then Anchor is the spot for you on Thursday nights. Starting this Thursday night Anchor will serve Juice Box Cocktails. Now you can get your favorite juice box infused with booze.
But there is one catch; there is no menu so you’ll have to order by name. Now you know we are not going to leave you hanging so here is the list of drinks to help your ordering process go well and not have you end up in detention for failing to order properly:
Juice Box: Apple Juice (aka An Apple a Day)
Ingredients: Starts with a box of Mott's apple juice. Then the injection, via plastic syringe, of bourbon, sour apple mash and cranberry juice. The first sip may cause an intense flashback to grade school. Let it pass. Keep drinking.
Juice Box: OJ (aka Cigarette and a Hall Pass)
Ingredients: Orange juice injected with tequila and just a drop of blood-like grenadine. And yes, it's served with a single Parliament Light.
Juice Box: Lemonade (aka The Hall Monitor)
Ingredients: A boxy take on the lemon drop martini, with vodka and elderflower liqueur injected into an unsuspecting box of Minute Maid lemonade. The sweet taste is trumped only by the convenience and portability of the juice box. Forgo the temptation to order one for the road.
We don’t want to have you end up in detention for grown ups aka (central bookings)

BlackBerry Breaks Into Worldwide Phone Bestseller List
Blackberry faithful we have arrived! According to wired.com the Blackberry is finally a bestseller!!! Check it out below:
BlackBerry fans can break out the bubbly. Growing demand for its phones has helped Research In Motion move into the top five mobile phone companies worldwide in sales during the first quarter, says research firm IDC.
RIM replaced Motorola in the Top 5 chart and tied with Sony Ericsson for the No. 4 position. RIM shipped 10.6 million phones in the first quarter, while Motorola, which had been a fixture in the top-five ranking since 2004, shipped 8.5 million phones.
“This is also the first time a vendor has dropped out of the top five since the second quarter of 2005, when Sony Ericsson grabbed the number five spot from BenQ Siemens,” says Kevin Restivo, senior research analyst with IDC’s Worldwide Mobile Phone Tracker.
Apple doesn’t feature in the Top 5 chart because the company shipped 8.75 million phones worldwide in the first quarter, says IDC. Next week, IDC will release data on the top five mobile phone makers in the United States.
However, Apple has taken the top spot among U.S. phone makers, a rather small group that includes Motorola, Apple, Palm and a handful of minor players.
The worldwide rankings take into account both smartphones and feature phones. Though feature phones (cheaper, simpler devices) are still a big percentage of phones sold worldwide, low-cost smartphones are picking up in sales, says IDC.
Nokia, whose devices don’t get much love in the United States, held on to its No. 1 position worldwide, shipping 107.8 million phones in the first quarter of the year. That’s up 16 percent from the same quarter year before.
Samsung ranked second with 64.3 million phones sold, and LG shipped 27.1 million phones to bag the third place. RIM, which ranks fourth, sold nearly 2 million more phones than Motorola, says IDC.
“Key to its success in the first quarter was the popularity of its BlackBerry Curve 8520 and BlackBerry Bold 9700 across multiple markets, as well as its global prepaid offerings,” says IDC. “Strong consumer adoption, particularly among text-crazy teens, has also fueled demand for BlackBerry devices.”

5 Common Dating Mistakes You Don't Know You're Making
Dating is hard especially after you have had your heart broken. Getting out there again can be trying and some times it may be viewed as not even be worth it. But has it ever occurred to you that you may be making some mistakes that you aren’t even trying to make. Well according to yahoo.com there are quite a few:
1. Tunnel vision.
Don't limit your dating pool to your normal "type." Branch out of your dating comfort zone and give a chance to those you haven't previously considered (think age, looks, profession, location). You just might be surprised as to whom you meet and fall for.
2. Underestimating how much you have to offer.
Be you; not what you think other people want (i.e. your mother, your friends or that guy you've had your eye on). Authenticity is sexy, and it goes hand in hand with confidence, adding up to a very attractive combination. Plus, if it clicks with someone, you'll know it's real.
3. Judging yourself.
Confidence and friendliness count for way more than model looks -- in dating, and in life. You're human; you have flaws. Learn to rock your flaws instead of beating yourself up.
4. Expecting too much (or anything) on a first date.
Having expectations about a first date almost always leads to disappointment, especially when you're first diving back into the game when your fear level is high. Avoid this by enjoying the company no matter what they're like. If it's great? Great -- go out again. If the date totally tanked? Enjoy a bad date for what it is -- a great story to tell your friends. Taking the pressure off makes for an enjoyable time, no matter what happens.
5. Cynic-syndrome.
When you're in post break-up "I've-been-burned" mode, it's incredibly common (and natural) to assume the worst about people. Do your best to avoid this and you'll be pleasantly surprised how everyone isn't your evil ex. Letting go of cynicism is a major part of moving forward. This is a hard one, so be patient with yourself!
So, as you get back out into the dating world, take a step back and be aware of yourself, your thoughts, and how you are presenting yourself to the world. Remember these 5 common mistakes, know that you're not alone in thinking this way, and try to keep these mistakes from preventing a potential future happy relationship.

Health Benefits of Sex
Sex. It is one of the more fun parts of the relationship, but did you know that there are actual health benefits to having a good sex life? No really.
Sex is one of those things that is good to you as well as good for you and since we here at SA2F are all about the good life. We figured that this is something you should definitely know about. As with anything we ask that you make sure that you are safe and protect yourself at all times. Have fun and get healthy!
1) Stress Relief- sex causes lower blood pressure and aids in overall stress reduction
2) Sex boots immunity-good sex can lead to better health. Sex once or twice a week has been linked to an increase imunnoglobin A, an antibody that helps prevent you from getting colds and other infections
3) Sex burns calories-Sex is great form of exercise. You can burn 85 calories in one 30-min sex session. May not seem like a whole lot but if you are getting sex often, t can really add up
4) Sex =heart health?- Yes its true, studies have found that men who have sex twice or more a week reduces the risk of a fatal heart attack by nearly half for men, compared to those who had sex less than once a month
5) Sex is a Self esteem booster-according to the Archives of Sexual Behavior , self –esteem was one of the reason people have sex the most
6) Sex increases intimacy-having sex and orgasms releases a hormone called oxytocin, also known as the love hormone. This hormone helps us with bonding and trusting
7) Good sex reduces pain-when the hormone oxytocin increases, so do endorphines. As endorphines increase, pain declines. That’s definitely more fun then popping a pill right?
8) Sex reduces the risk of prostate cancer-frequent ejaculations especially in younger men may reduce the risk of prostate cancer later in life. The Journal of the American Medical Association found that frequent ejaculations, about 21 per month were linked to lower prostate cancer risk in older men
9) Stress strengthens pelvic muscles-Ladies, doing your Kegels during sex has its benefits, it will give you more pleasure in the bedroom and helps to decrease the risk of incontinence later in life.
10) Sex can help you sleep better-that oxytocin hormone also helps you sleep better—no wonder we are so sleepy after sex
