We've all heard of the dangers of driving while talking on the phone or texting. But lately it seems there is a new place where cell phones and technology are causing serious traffic problems: the supermarket.

After 14 years of fighting, Stew Leonard's has decided to walk away from their attempts to build a store off I-95 in Orange. The proposed store had been met with resistance from local citizens and politicians, and they can finally rest knowing they have kept another evil business out of town and that Orange is safe from throngs of robotic singing dairy products and vegetables.

Really, Orange? This is what you wanted to keep out of town?

For those of you who may not be familiar with Stew Leonard's, let me help paint the picture. It is a magical place, where smiling associates hand out free food samples at every turn. Throughout the store, employees make fresh items, from bagels to lobster rolls, and orange juice is sold fresh squeezed. Produce sits piled high, and they actually tell you what farm it came from! And yes, there are the robotic singing dairy products, vegetables, and even farm animals. It's like the Disney of food.

Stew Leonard's is also known for supporting local businesses, and being one of the best companies to work for. Yet, apparently people have no need for new jobs in Orange.

The people from "Save Our Neighborhoods" will point out the strain on the town's infrastructure. Extra cops will be needed, and traffic will be a nightmare. Last I checked, the exit ramp off I-95 had been widened, and traffic was probably not as bad as they claimed since the Orange Showcase Cinemas went out of business. And as for cops, I know Stew's has some pretty good sales, but I don't recall any stories of riots caused by people racing for the last lobster.

Stew Leonard's would have created tax dollars and jobs that would have more than offset the minor traffic issues. Chances are these tax dollars could have also been used to make improvements to the town, and citizens would have reaped the benefits.

Who's side are you on?

While you may or may not be a fan of his music, there is no denying Dio was a groundbreaking performer and singer. Below is probably his best known song, "Holy Diver".

Tiger Woods' biggest sponsor, Nike, has just released a new commercial addressing the golf pro's scandal - sort of.

It features the voice of Earl Woods, Tiger's beloved father, who passed away a couple of years ago.

To me, it's a great commercial. Hopefully now, Tiger can just get back to playing golf.
