Cleveland Strip Clubs: Brown: I can handle high-maintenance
The Bobcats acquired wing scorer Jackson, along with point guard Acie Law, from the Golden State Warriors Monday, giving up starting shooting guard Raja Bell and reserve forward Vlade Radmanovic.
Brown is enthusiastic about this deal, and Jackson played at shooting guard against the Magic on Monday night.
Jackson brings two qualities the Bobcats need – proven scoring ability and the versatility to play multiple positions. But he also brings a history of bad behavior that seems to conflict with majority owner Bob Johnson’s promise at the franchise’s outset.
Johnson publicly declared that he and his players would never do anything to “embarrass” Charlotteans. While Johnson later clarified that promise wasn’t equivalent to a zero-tolerance policy, Jackson is a departure from the players the Bobcats typically acquire.
In 2006, he fired a handgun into the air outside an Indianapolis strip club, following a late-night altercation in which he was punched and struck by a car.
Cleveland Adult Entertainment: Mag touts dirt-cheap universities
The venue seemed odd for a discussion of ”adult” books the Akron-Summit County Public Library. The books were Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet (clearly involving a brothel) and Three Cups of Tea (obviously about a menage a trois).
…
At first, I honestly thought the publicist for Kiplinger’s magazine was pulling my chain.
Her e-mail said, ”[Families] of all income levels are still feeling the financial pinch. So can students still receive a top-notch education at an affordable price? You bet.”
The magazine then singled out three Ohio colleges as great buys: Kenyon, Oberlin and Denison. Those schools were judged to deliver ”excellent academics while keeping their costs to a minimum.”
A minimum? Here’s what you pay to attend these institutions each year: • Kenyon: $50,640.
• Oberlin: $50,106.
• Denison: $46,140.
Yep, some real bargain-basement prices there. If you can’t afford Akron or Kent, you’ll definitely want to give these schools a look-see.
To be fair, many private colleges offer h …
Cleveland Strip Clubs: Brown says he can handle Jackson’s quirks
Brown is enthusiastic about this deal, telling the Observer Jackson might start at shooting guard against the Magic tonight if he arrives early enough to clear trade-related physicals.

Cleveland Adult Entertainment: “Family Guy”: A blow-up doll, clones and wedding vows
Donna isn’t interested in hanging out with the wives of Cleveland’s friends. Who could blame her? You have a conservative Christian bear who collects confetti, a morbidly obese woman on a Rascal and an Italian prostitute. Instead she ditches her wedding ring to go hang out with her old crew of divorcees. Drinking, dancing and stabbing guys in the hand. You know, ladies’ night.
As Donna propelled the story forward, Cleveland got to hang out and be more of the comic relief. My favorite was him having dinner with his inflatable woman (apparently, they eat cupcakes). Plus, how many other shows would squeeze “Moon River” and “Tie a Yellow Ribbon” into the same episode? The B story was Rallo helping Cleveland Jr. run for class president. It didn’t really stick out.
Then “Family Guy” squeezed three stories into one episode. We had Peter’s fun talking to Reagan’s ghost through a ham radio, Stewie and Brian cloning themselves, and Quagmire’s little girl. Personally, I wa …
Cleveland Adult Entertainment: Sundays with Seth: The problem with wives … and babies
Both American Dad and The Cleveland Show tackled the issues of men’s expectations of their wives. Cleveland’s assumption that Donna would inevitably become friends with the wives of his friends is actually pretty typical of men. When men get along, it just seems incredibly convenient that our spouses would get along as well, so we simply expect them to.
It was extra sweet of Cleveland to pretend to be with hookers so her “single lady” friends would take her back. I can’t speak as much about this segment of society, but I’ve known some “man haters.” I’m not sure if they group like that and ostracize any of their own who do find a good man, but I found myself agreeing with Cleveland that they were all stupid. Also, though, if they made Donna happy, then he did the right thing.
Loved his closing line to his wife about being sure to use a condom with the prostitutes. With Cleveland, you can’t quite say for certain that he was joking.
Cleveland Adult Entertainment: ‘Family Guy’: Roadhouse!
Closing out the night was “the Cleveland Show.” Cleveland tries to get his stepdaughter to protect her virtue by getting her to pledge her virginity to him. Every time one of the girls says she’s pledging her virginity to her father, I feel a little creeped out. Not as much as by the furious tongue kissing between Bert and Ernie, but creeped out none the less.
Cleveland’s attempts inadvertently convince his son Cleveland Jr. to protect his virginity. It’s a good setup to explore the double standard about teenage boys versus girls and abstinence, but instead “the Cleveland Show” chooses to go in the direction of dirty prostitute jokes, which works too. In the end, we learn that Cleveland lost his virginity at age 9 and we get a glimpse at balloons arranged in such a way as to look like male genitalia.
Cleveland Adult Entertainment: Penn National pledging cooperation on casino
… We have an excellent relationship with them,” Thanas said, “both at the corporate level and community-level administration of the facility.”
Joliet, situated 45 miles from Chicago, was a decaying Rust Belt city when its first casino opened on the Des Plaines River in 1992, Thanas recalled. A second casino followed, and the city manager credits the gaming facilities with helping revive Joliet’s economy without hurting existing businesses or boosting the city’s crime rate.
“We did not see a cannibalization of local bars and restaurants,” he said. “Most of the patrons going to the casinos come from out of town. That business was not coming to our bars and restaurants anyway.”
Thanas said Joliet hasn’t experienced increased drug trafficking, prostitution or robberies because of the casinos – problems Ohio Issue 3 opponents claimed were certain to follow casinos into the state.
Cleveland Strip Clubs: Actors’ Summit ‘For Better’ falls flat
Actors Summit For Better falls flat
By David Ritchey
HUDSON — “Ya gotta have a gimmick,” the strippers sing in “Gypsy.” Unfortunately, the gimmick in “For Better,” which is playing through Nov. 22 at Actors’ Summit Theater, runs out of steam after about five minutes.
The performers talk to each other on cell phones with little human contact. Of course, the performers can’t take any visual cues from each other because they’re looking in different directions.
How far does this go?
Karen (Constance Thackaberry) met Max (who never appears on stage) at a trade show. They’ve seen each other in person two or three times. The courtship continued by cell phone and e-mail and now they’re getting married. This high-tech courtship includes his proposing by phone, asking her father for permission to marry Karen by phone and sending her the engagement ring by FedEx.
Cleveland Escorts: Canfield Motel To Become Religious Retreat
A Cleveland Church has plans to turn a local motel that was once closed down because of prostitution into a Christian retreat.
The Syro-Russian Orthodox Catholic Church does not plan to use the Canfield Colonial Motel as a lodging facility.
The motel was shut down in April after Canfield Police found evidence of prostitution on the property. Four people were charged and convicted in the case.

Cleveland Escorts: Cleveland church agrees to buy motel
A Canfield motel that was closed amid a prostitution scandal has been purchased by an unlikely buyer.
Syro-Russian Orthodox church of Cleveland submitted an offer to buy the Canfield Colonial motel.
The church is willing to pay $300,000 for the motel, which they would use for retreats.
Paperwork still needs to be completed, but Attorney John F. Shultz said the offer is good.
The motel was closed amid a scandal in which its owner and several employees were accused of procuring prostitutes for guests.
Shultz said they also hope to sell another business implicated in the case, the El Patio motel.
