Archimedes Banya

During the summer of 1970, Moscow State University math student Mikhail Brodsky traveled to the Konda River in Western Siberia to log trees. While there, he visited his first banya—a public Russian bathhouse—and tried Siberian steam bathing. He became enamored of the practice, but didn't get to experience it again until visiting another Siberian town four years later. He soon started traveling throughout the world to study all the baths and hot springs he could find, earning the nickname Archimedes—for the ancient Greek mathematician—due to his habit of helping bathhouse staff members solve problems.

After moving to California, Mikhail decided to open his own bathhouse. Though design and construction took 12 years, he and a group of international friends finally opened Archimedes Banya, a coed public bathhouse that blends the aesthetics and traditions of Greek, Turkish, German, and Russian bathhouses with modern amenities. Spa staffers usher guests into steamy hardwood saunas and cold swimming pools on four themed floors, each decked out in warm cream-colored tiles or cool blue and silver accents. Deck chairs populate the rooftop patio, where visitors take in views of the bay and excise any remaining stress by screaming at boats. In private spa rooms, therapists knead guests' muscles during Russian platza massages and soak them in natural herb and mineral baths. The bathhouse and its restaurant stay open as late as 12 a.m. on weekends.

The Groupon Guide to: Using Your Printer

Every person who has used a computer has wondered if there was some way to get words out of that digital lockbox and onto paper that can be folded up and mailed to every congressman and school principal in the country. Here's how to set your ideas free:

• In your word-processing application, open the "File" menu and click on "Put This onto Paper Now, Please."

• A menu will open up asking you which printer you want to use and how many blank spaces you want for drawing in pictures.

• Open the top of the printer and fill it with plastic pellets that it can melt into a thin, printable sheet.

• Feed four dollar bills ($4.50 for fun fonts) into the front printer tray.

• You're ready to print! Say goodbye to the digital version of what you made, because once it prints, it will instantly be deleted from your computer and any hard drives you might have used to back it up.

• When prompted, be sure to click your computer's "Thanks" button.

How can I thank my computer for the good work it's doing?
