Lovely cardigan
By Grandma Pauline
from Niagara Falls Ont.
I bought this cardi in the midnight navy. It is a deep rich navy colour. I am sure it will be perfect to wear over my sleeveless dresses when the weather warms up. As with all Mr Max items it is well made and in fashion. Love it.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Nice weight for summer
By Marie

Nice light weight cardi for summer months. If we get any warm days this will be a good cardi to wear or carry with you. Love the saturated navy color and fits well, true to size.

Not what I expected.
By shopaholic
from Bowmanville, Ontario
Ordered the coral. The colour is amazing however the cardigan itself didn't fit well. I found it to be way too long in the back. The back seam sat well below the small of my back. The sleeves are too long as well but I always push my sleeves up anyway. I loved the front and the way it draped. The material is nice but yes, you have to be careful.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Nice but
By Ethel
from Ontario
I purchased the coral and love the colour and style. However, the sleeves are way too long - I will be getting them shortened. I also find that this knit picks and pulls very easily and this is really a disappointment. I have only worn it once and it seemed like everything I touched caused a new pull. This cardigan was a nice idea but Mr. Max needs to be more careful when choosing knits.

Nice But Didn't Work For Me!
By LindaLou
from Manitoba
I loved the weight of the fabric but it just didn't work for me. I ordered my regular size but the sleeves were much too long, but I could have had them shortened. However the band at the back of the sweater did not allow it to hang properly on me so unfortunately I had to return it. I am still searching for a nice lightweight open front summer cardigan! Perhaps Orange Fashions will have some again this summer!
Must have
I ordered this cardigan in royal. It is absolutely amazing in style and quality of material. Unfortunately I ordered size large and it was too big. I usually take size 12. I tried to reorder but the royal was sold out so I ordered navy because I know this cardigan will take me many places.
Coral cardigan
By Just me
from Moncton
This cardigan will be perfect for warmer weather. True to size (M). Drapes very well. Love the coral color.

Families gathered at the McIntosh Homes Community Center Friday night for a Christmas party put on by the Albany Housing Authority.
Kids got to write letters to Santa and decorate Christmas ornaments, and everyone enjoyed some favorite Christmas music.
Organizers say it's a great way to bring people together for the holidays. Danita Wiggins with the Albany Housing Authority said, "Just showing togetherness and the real meaning of Christmas, showing the meaning of Christmas from different views and household views. Everybody doesn't celebrate Christmas the same, but we just want to show them the community can come together and have a real good time while learning the meaning of Christmas."
Sunday afternoon, McIntosh Homes residents will make luminaries and line their neighborhood streets with them. They'll light them Sunday evening, along with folks in the adjacent historic neighborhoods of Palmyra Heights and Rawson Circle. A horse-drawn carriage will also bring Santa to meet the kids Sunday evening.

DeSOTO - Carla Sheffield thought she won the big prize after getting a phone call from a group of people claiming to be from the popular sweepstakes company, Publishers Clearing House.
"They kept telling me that I won $1.9 million, and a 2012 Mercedes Benz," Sheffield said.
The men told her she had to give them $950 to collect the prize.
"They were good persuaders, but I knew it was a scam," she said.
It was all part of an aggressive scheme to cheat her out of money. The men kept calling her for days, trying to convince her it was a legitimate contest.
Sheffield recorded some of the conversations she had with the group. They promised her they would deliver the prize to her home if she met their demands.
When she asked them to stop calling her, their sweet words turned sinister. Sheffield got so frustrated, she insulted the men. They fired back with a threat.
"He said, 'I'm going to blow up your house up' because I disrespected them," Sheffield said.
According to Publishers Clearing House, they have seen this type of fraud all over the nation. They told News 8 the crooks behind the scheme have also threatened their employees.
"We've seen people lose money and be targeted that are old and young," said Assistant Vice-President of Consumer Affairs Chris Irving.
Irving also mentioned that the thieves are now scouting social media sites on the Internet, including Facebook, to find victims. He said the group has also used PCH employee photos as part of their strategy. The company's message: their winnings don't cost any money.
"You never have to send any money, never have to send any fee or tax in order to collect that prize," Irving said.
Sheffield never gave in. She hopes her experience is a lesson for others.
"Hang up [the phone,]" she said. "It's a scam."

LAKE PLACID, N.Y. (AP) -- Steven Holcomb of the United States won the four-man gold medal at the bobsled world championships Sunday, easily beating two German sleds.
Holcomb and his crew of Justin Olsen, Steve Langton and Curt Tomasevicz had a four-run total of 3 minutes, 36.83 seconds at Mount Van Hoevenberg.
Germany's Maximilian Arndt was the silver medalist, a half-second behind Defending world champion Manuel Machata of Germany took the bronze, trailing Holcomb by 0.80.
This was the second gold in four-man at worlds for Holcomb, following his victory at Lake Placid in 2009. Holcomb also won the two-man at the worlds a week ago, something no other American bobsledder had accomplished since two-man began in 1931.
Holcomb also joined German greats Andre Lange and Christoph Langen as the most recent pilots to complete a sweep at worlds. Langen won the two-man and four-man in 2001 and Lange in 2003 and 2008.
Nick Cunningham and his team of Jesse Beckom, Johnny Quinn and brakeman Dallas Robinson finished 13th in USA-3, nearly 3 seconds behind their teammates. John Napier was disqualified Saturday after push athlete Adam Clark slipped and fell out of USA-2 at the start.
The U.S. finished with a good haul at these worlds, an encouraging sign midway to the next Winter Olympics in Sochi: Holcomb's two golds, a gold in the team event, Katie Uhlaender's gold in women's skeleton and a bronze won by Elana Meyers in women's bobsled.
Holcomb, who turns 32 in April, has been driving for a decade and is compiling a resume that's as impressive as that of any driver in U.S. history.
Three years ago he broke a 50-year gold-medal drought for America in four-man competition at world championships, winning on his home track at Mount Van Hoevenberg. He also took home the bronze in two-man. Two years ago, he won the first four-man Olympic gold for his country since 1948.
On Saturday, Holcomb trailed Arndt by 0.15 seconds after a mistake-filled first run, but he made up the deficit with the help of his second straight 4.97-second start, the best starts of the day. That put USA-1 just 0.01 ahead heading to Sunday's final two heats.
It was below zero at dawn Sunday with the sun shining brightly over the Adirondack Mountains, perfect weather to decide the title.
Holcomb slid first and took his sled dubbed "Night Train" for a near-flawless ride after a push of 4.94 seconds, the best time in all four heats. The crowd at the start roared ias Holcomb zoomed through the tricky curve near the bottom of the 20-curve layout. He finished in 53.92 seconds, giving a thumbs-up as he climbed from the sled after what would be the fastest run of the four-heat race.
That put the pressure on the Germans, and they were unable to match it.
Arndt, who won bronze last week in two-man, and his crew of Alexander Roediger, Kevin Kuske and Martin Putze slid second. They brushed a wall at the top, nearly flipping, and trailed by 0.05 as they were just getting started. The momentum that was lost at the top began to show on the clock, the sled finishing in 54.12 to fall 0.21 behind.
Machata fared even worse. Trailing Holcomb by 0.28 to start the day, he lost 0.11 at the top on a sloppy third run, was nearly a half-second behind midway down and finished in 54.25 to fall 0.61 behind.
Even World Cup champion Alexsandr Zubkov of Russia was no match. He was fourth entering Sunday's heats, 0.43 behind, dropped a third of a second on the third run and finished 1.28 seconds behind in fifth. He was passed on the final run by Edwin Van Calker of the Netherlands.
Between heats on Sunday, Holcomb did what he always does, letting the world know what was on his mind: "Solid first run. Need to relax, stay focused and do it one more time. Let's bring it home!" he tweeted.
He did just that with a 4.95-second push and a run of 53.99 seconds. USA-1 was the only sled to go under 54 seconds in the two days of competition.

Hello, the other day by transferring videos from pc to phone, I decided to change the theme, with the pc connected to the cell phone.
Once I had the videos, I tried to reproduce and change of the theme had triggered a series of errors on my phone:
- The media player I threw the following error when opening any file, read "Not enough memory", the radius and the equalizer did not even respond to all this I solved it with a special backup I got the internet and adding new themes to player.
- Now I've come, the native web browser, "web" stopped being called and was renamed the "internet"
All original disappeared browser options (such as bookmarks, go to address, etc.) and now I have:
* Homepage
* Browser (this otion not responding)
* Web services
* Loads web
This limits me to move just for the homepage and favorites (which restores and remained in "web services").
I want to know if there is no way to restore my old browser and how to do ...
Thanks in advance!
(sorry about my bad english) (if the thread isn`t in the correct space, please move it)

Bengals QB Andy Dalton reportedly missed practice on Wednesday with an illness, but it is not regarded as serious, according to multiple published reports.
"He's got the flu and we sent him home and he's fine. It's not a big deal," Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis said Wednesday, according to The Cincinnati Enquirer.
Bruce Gradkowski is the Bengals' only other quarterback on the active roster. They also have practice-squad passer Zac Robinson.
Dalton started all 16 games this season, throwing for 3,398 yards with 20 TDs and 13 interceptions.

Senior Design Project
ECE Repository
Michael Zink and David Irwin of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department recently received a three-year, $390,000, National Science Foundation (NSF) grant to help create a new instrument for the national research community known as a "cloud laboratory." Dubbed CloudLab, it will among other things allow scientists to run huge or very complex experiments on an enormous and flexible new shared network of reliable, secure, and fast computers. CloudLab will consist of 5,000 linked cores, or computers, that will be free for research and classroom use and should be up and running by the spring of 2015. See coverage in Phys.org, Electronic Component News magazine, and the UMass Amherst News Office release. More information: www.cloudlab.us/.
The Nanoscale Computing Fabrics Lab of Professor Andras Moritz from the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) Department has won the Best Paper Award, for the third time in the past four years, at the IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Nanoscale Architectures (NANOARCH). The winning paper, entitled "Wave-based Multi-valued Computation Framework," was written and presented by Santosh Khasanvis, with co-authors Mostafizur Rahman, Sankara Narayanan Rajapandian, and Moritz. As ECE Department Head Christopher Hollot noted, "That's impressive given that NANOARCH is the leading conference on novel post-CMOS nanocomputing and is a testament to the cutting-edge research that Professor Moritz's lab conducts."
As part of a news story for EE Times, Cheryl Brooks, director of career and student development at the College of Engineering, said more companies, both large and small, are recruiting our students. "We hosted more companies for recruiting and posted more jobs this year than last year," says Brooks. "A wide range of companies recruited here this year, from large firms like ExxonMobil, Cisco, Pratt & Whitney, Raytheon, and Google to smaller startup companies like HubSpot and Localytics." The story reported that students graduating this year with engineering degrees are entering a strong job market. Engineering majors historically tend to have less trouble finding jobs in their chosen field than their counterparts with liberal arts degrees. But during the recent recession, engineering schools saw larger numbers of students choosing to wait it out and go to grad school.

Silver birch. These are in our neighbours' garden but hang over the fence into ours.
Gold against blue. Such clear blue skies are all the more glorious in winter because they are rarer than in summer.
Many of the lemons on our lemon tree are now ripe, so yesterday I made a sextuple (if that's a word -- 6 times, anyway) batch of lemon butter, or lemon curd.
The recipe I used is new to me, taken from Molly's blog Cross Roads (with her permission). The difference between this and other lemon curd recipes I have tried is that it claims to be able to be kept unrefrigerated for 12 months (I would still probably keep it in the fridge). It is also the only lemon curd recipe I have tried that needs to be boiled; most recipes say to avoid boiling at all costs!
Molly's Lemon Curd Spread
Grated zest and juice of 2 lemons
1/2 cup of sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp butter
Boil together for 5 mins.Use to fill those tarts or topping on a pie.
If making a quantity to keep, double or triple the recipe (depending on lemons available) and change the 1 tsp butter to one TBSP butter for each lemon used. These jars will store for 12 months unopened.
Kate's Tips: I whisked the mixture continuously while the butter was melting and the mixture was coming to the boil. You don't want eggy lumps in your lemon curd! Once the mixture was boiling I stirred it to avoid sticking.
Don't forget to sterilise your jars and lids. Pour the lemon curd into the jars while it is still hot, screw on the lids tightly, then tip the jars upside down for ten minutes. This will sterilise the inside of the lids more effectively than can otherwise be achieved and help prevent mould in the lemon curd.
I use lemon butter on scones, as a cake filling, in tarts as Molly suggests, on pancakes and on toast. It is s-o-o-o delicious.

Gerald McCoy has been waiting five long years to get the chance to play next to Roy Miller. Now that Tampa Bay made the junior defensive tackle from Oklahoma its first-round pick in the 2010 NFL Draft, McCoy and Miller will have the chance to finish what they both thought they were going to start after their senior year of high school.
"When I first started getting recruited I would get on Rivals.com and Roy was the number five ranked defensive tackle," McCoy said. "I was the number one guy, and even though he was a number five-ranked guy in high school, he was my favorite in the group. He's very explosive and dynamic. He has some great highlights. I met him when we both went on a visit to the University of Oklahoma."
The two defensive studs hit it off on their recruiting trip to Norman, Okla. and it was at that point that Miller deviated from the plan.
"He was originally supposed to come to Oklahoma," McCoy said. "I was looking forward to it. Then when he flipped on us. My daddy and I were so mad. It was either going to be Miami, USC or Oklahoma. I said if he's there and I went there – we're going to do something good. Then he flipped on me. It's cool. We're going to get to play together now.
"I'm very excited. We always talk about it. He said, 'Man, I never got to play with you.' I said, 'That's because you were a fool and went to Texas!' Ever since then we've been cool. He always gives me a hard time because his team beat my team a few more times [than I would care for]. We always stay close and he's a very cool guy. We have a good relationship."
Miller, who didn't redshirt at Texas and was drafted by the Buccaneers in the third round a year ago, is thrilled to finally have the opportunity to team him with McCoy.
"To have the opportunity to finally play with him and build on our friendship is real special," Miller said. "It feels good to be able to play with him because we had planned to play together during the recruiting process coming out of high school. We both have a great deal of respect for each other on and off the field, to be able to finally play with him is special."
In an unselfish display of friendship, or perhaps a gesture to say, "Sorry for going to Texas instead of Oklahoma," Miller offered up his number 93 jersey to McCoy, who wore that number during his Sooners career. Usually new players that want specific jersey numbers currently occupied by veterans have to negotiate and buy the number. Needless to say that Miller's move really touched McCoy.
"My man Roy was generous enough to just give me the number," McCoy said. "He just gave me the number, but I'm going to take care of Roy. I really appreciate that."
Miller, who wore number 99 at Texas but can't wear that number in Tampa Bay because it belonged to future Hall of Famer Warren Sapp, doesn't care what number he wears.
"It doesn't really matter to me," Miller said. "Number 93 was the number I was given, but I knew it would mean a lot more to Gerald to have that number so I just extended that to him. I just told him to take number 93 and he said, 'Wow!' That number doesn't mean as much to me as it does to him. I think it means something for him to be able to carry that number with him from college to the NFL so I'm glad he has it again."
Keep in mind that players from Texas and Oklahoma usually don't get along due to the little thing called the Red River Rivalry, which is the annual Longhorns-Sooners match-up played in Dallas that has been going on for over 100 years. Texas holds a 59-40 advantage and has won four out of the last five. The only year McCoy's Sooners claimed a victory over Miller's Longhorns was in 2007 when McCoy was a redshirt freshman.
No longer on-field foes, Miller and McCoy's rivalry will boil down to just one Saturday this fall now that they both represent the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
"We've already started the little talk about the Red River Rivalry game," Miller said. "Coach Will Muschamp, my defensive coordinator at Texas, told me to teach Gerald how to win down here in Tampa, so it's already started!"
Not only is Miller unselfish about giving away his jersey number, but the second-year nose tackle has welcomed his new competition – second-round pick Brian Price – with open arms. Some young players, especially high draft picks like Miller, who is coming off a 54-tackle, two-sack in 2009, might feel disrespected with the team drafting a top-rated player to play the same position right after his rookie season. But that's certainly not the way Miller feels.
"I'm a team guy," Miller said. "Whoever is going to make this team better, we need Brian Price. He definitely has talent. Have you seen him play? Man, his talent is going to help us out a lot. I definitely want him on this team. I like the way he plays. I saw some highlights of him and I really like him as a player. He's relentless. He's a chaser. That's what we need here. We are going to need several good tackles because it does get hot and we need a breather. There is so much talent on the line now. You have to be excited about that."
Miller also knows that head coach and defensive coordinator Raheem Morris likes to rotate his defensive tackles due to the Florida heat and humidity. That was certainly the case last year as Miller saw nearly as much playing time as veterans Chris Hovan and Ryan Sims did during his rookie season.
"We could use three tackles on the same front because we've done that before because of the heat," Miller said. "It's hot down here sometimes into November. Raheem can use us all in so many different ways. We even used a five-man front last year at times, especially against the Jets."
The departure of the 32-year old Hovan, who was a three-year team captain, and 30-year old defensive end Jimmy Wilkerson has suddenly created a leadership void in the defensive line room at One Buc Place. Defensive end Stylez G. White is the only player over 30, but is not regarded as a leader.
Even though he is in his second year in Tampa Bay, Miller, who was a team captain at Texas in 2008, has emerged as a leader in the weight room during the offseason workouts. That's what the Buccaneers expected when they drafted Miller last year. Leadership is also a big reason why the Bucs selected McCoy with the third overall pick in April and Price with the team's first second-round selection.
"I believe that we have great players now and the kind of character that we have in guys like McCoy and Price, who looks like a hustler and a baller, we definitely have some great talent and character in our room," Miller said. "Leadership starts up front with the big guys and then it can catch on fire and spread to other parts of the team. I'm definitely going to do my part to lead this team."
Bucs director of college scouting Dennis Hickey revealed that one of Miller's best traits – aside from his strength and technique – is his team-first attitude.
"What you see [in Miller] is a guy that wants to win and understands the team concept and that it's not about him," Hickey said. "It's about the team and I think we've brought in guys just like Roy Miller. Our experience with Roy Miller made us want to bring in more guys like Roy Miller, to be honest with you. He has the class, the unselfishness, the toughness, the grit, the determination you are looking for. We feel like that's how you build championship teams and we needed more of those guys. It's going to be great to have those guys feed off each other and compete with each other. They'll make everyone better."
• During his rookie season, Roy Miller added over 20 pounds to play in Jim Bates' defensive scheme, which called on Tampa Bay's defensive tackles to be big, bulky two-gap defenders. At the University of Texas, Miller played in a penetrating, one-gap style similar to Raheem Morris' hybrid Tampa 2 scheme at 295 pounds. When Bates was demoted and Morris installed his defense after 10 games last year Miller was out of shape for that style of play and couldn't move his hips like he could when he was a Longhorn. Miller has shed some of the excess weight this offseason and already feels quicker. "I weigh 309 right now," Miller said. "That's 16 pounds lighter than I was last year. I'll probably lose another 10 pounds and see how that feels in the mini-camp and the OTAs. I guarantee you I'll play better at a lighter weight."
• With Dekoda Watson's arrival via the draft, the Bucs might shuffle their linebacker corps a bit. Watson is expected to compete at Sam (strongside) linebacker this year along with Quincy Black and Angelo Crowell. The addition of the Florida State product could mean that the 246-pound Crowell might cross-train at middle linebacker as there is no starting-caliber backup behind Barrett Ruud at one of the most important positions on the defense. Currently Niko Koutovides and Lee Robinson serve as backups at the Mike (middle) linebacker spot.

Crews for ODOT and the city told Channel 8 they are working overnight to keep road conditions safe in the Tulsa Metro with Monday's winter weather.
"As far as putting the salt down, you really don't want to put it down when it's raining, because it'll just wash off," said Street Maintenance Manager Tim McCorkell. He said that is why city crews waited for the day's rainfall to pass. He estimated about 85 workers will take some part in treating the roadways. That will likely start around midnight.
ODOT has had salt trucks running since around 9 p.m.
One driver told Channel 8 he will wake up around 4 a.m. to drive around and help any cars stuck in ditches in Broken Arrow.
This is the second instance of winter weather threatening Green Country in the past week. Most people Channel 8 has spoken with, regarding the weather, have praised crews' jobs of keeping roadways safe.
Evangelist Franklin Graham prayed on a sidewalk outside the Pentagon Thursday after his invitation to a prayer service inside was withdrawn because of comments that insulted people of other religions. More>>

LOL!!! I don't hate Jen. She is just too ridiculous not to comment on. Transparent as GLAD wrap.

watch the videoclip of muse-hysteria with Justin Theroux! He is SOOOO HOTT!! good choice Jen!!
Freyda 2 years
I said she hadn't been on Elle since 2009. Are you really suggesting Jen was the whole pull for the September 2005 Vanity Fair? Why hasn't she been on the cover since ... or inside? I know Jen & Justin were photographed when they arrive din NYC. That was the point. It didn't have a single thing to so with Brad. Jen still needs publicity even when her film gets sent to the basement.
loser60 2 years
Well yeah wasn't 2005 about the time she got dumped? that was seven years ago - a lot of stars her age have the same problem - they don't sell mags - it has everything to do with her - vanity fair puts interesting people on their cover not her that is why she hasn't been asked back - she would grab the opportunity like many other stars - she obviously makes a lot of crappy movies and would love the publicity if it would propel a movie further JUST like every other star. SHe is yesterday not relative today. she was a tv star in the 90's.
Guest26 2 years
@Freyda Jennifer is on the cover of the November Elle magazine. She's also been on Harper's Bazaar (a major fashion mag), W, Marie Claire, Architectural Digest, etc. in the past couple of years. Jen's 2005 Vanity Fair cover was the best seller EVER for the magazine, so her not being on it since has everything to do with her, and nothing to do with the mag. They would be so lucky as to have her back on there. Your comments about the paps being "booked" make zero sense since one of the movies you are talking about had been rescheduled for months. Jen and Justin were papped BEFORE Pitt's comments went viral, very quickly after they arrived in NY. Here they are on September 14th, and you can look elsewhere on this site for pics of Justin on the 13th outside their apartment in NY (the day they arrived there): http://justintheroux.org/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=345

Um Lady Gaga is the #1 seller on mag covers Rhianna is #2 and JA is not even in the top 10 - (those of you who keep saying use google take your own advice) now maybe on the rags i don't know. go browse the bookstore and you won't see her face - not in along time in a legit mag - she is yesterday - hasn't had a hit in a long time - gets on the tabs bcuz how many men has she dated and flaunted "as the one" in the past six or seven years - a trail left in hollywood- and thats fine but she isn't a star she cant act

freyda ur really funny. i really cant stop laughing at ur comment. so ur also insinuating that angelina doesnt sell mag because she also has not been on vouge, gq, entertainment weekly, parade, elle in a long time. please i never knew allure, harpers, marie claire where not big magazines. just caught you in one of ur lies because jen is currently on the cover of ELLE. anyhoo keep huffing and puffing its entertaining.
Freyda 2 years
SMH Guest 26!! LOL!! If Jen is such a huge draw for legitimate magazines why hasn't she been on any major magazine covers since 2008? No Vogue. No GQ (a former home-away-from-home) or Rolling Stone. No Parade or USA Magazine. No Entertainment Weekly. No Empire Magazine. No ELLE since 2009. She hasn't been in Vanity Fair since 2005 and she had been a regular prior to that. Why wouldn't publishers want Jen on the cover if it is such a brilliant profit Guest 26? Jen and Justin weren't photographed after Brad's PARADE interview came to light because the paparazzi hadn't been booked for that time period. They had been booked for Brad's premiere week and the weeks following when Jen and Justin were meant to be opening their film "Wanderlust" (which got put on the back burner and then dumped in February) and Jen's Lifetime movie. Jen is not a profitable target for paparazzi to hunt.

Guest26 2 years
@tichrissie You are completely wrong. In LA Jennifer never frequents pap-filled locations. We rarely get pics of her there. When is the last time you saw pics of her shopping, at the farmer's market, out to dinner, etc. like you do so many other celebs (Garner, Witherspoon, Stefani, etc.)? @Freyda Just because you haven't seen pics of Jen and Justin in NY before Brad's comments doesn't mean the pics weren't taken. They were up at other sites, with photographers even taking pics of Justin moving his motorcycle. Likewise, there were pics of them in their car in and around their home in LA besides the several sets of aerials that photo agencies spent big bucks to obtain. There were also some candid pics of Jen in Washington. And Jen is not just a tabloid seller, she also is a big magazine seller too, with some of the best cover sales and increases for mags she's appeared on over the last several years. Also she is in tabs almost every week; whether it is the cover or featured inside...that's where these stories you refer to appear. People is a glorified tabloid as well and is certainly not above talking to restaurant employees for these stories either. At Jen's recent Inside the Actor's Studio appearance, People had a reporter contacting those on twitter who indicated they were in the crowd for the taping and asking them questions about the appearance. Even James Lipton himself talked about their tactics in a later interview. Likewise, US Weekly harassed tweeters who indicated they were working as extras on Wanderlust during filming to try and obtain some sort of info or scoop on Jen. Again, she doesn't need to give them anything...they are all desperate for info on her or something to create a story around her. And why I say Jen and Justin were likely staying at a hotel is that they are leaving a building in these pics (not either of their apartments) and they have luggage with them. They've also been back in NY since Saturday (SNL taping) and no pics were snapped of them entering/leaving their apartment. Why would they want to stay at a hotel...because they are tired of being followed and wanted a break from the paps for a few days. This isn't an ignorant premise at all as plenty of celebs do this all the time. Another possibility is that the apartment is being worked on now (she bought two that are being combined into one).
Joanna 2 years
Not to many care much for Brad anymore so that wouldn't be to exciting. I think Jen and Justin can out to dinner with friends, go to parties with other people without it being called trying to get attention. There isn't much they can do about all the made up stories in the tabs and the press is always hanging around. '
tichrissie 2 years
I'll point out that it's common knowledge in LA to know where the paps hangout. The couples who want to stay private just avoid these places, especially when they're together. She does Just the opposite. She does not like privacy, that has always been evident: Whenever the brad angle seemed to die off, she would be on a tv show or in a magazine (the monthlies, not tabloids) article talking about it again. For the sake of her relationship she should revise her behavior and have her pr team stop leaking info to the media. If that relationship fails, we can seriously count on her to go right back to the Brad stories.
loser60 2 years
Use that google and you will see ja isn't even on the top ten of biggest seller of magazine - Lady Gaga is #1 JA is so so so yesterday - go walk in a bookstore tomorrow and look at the magazines and see whose faces you see. She may have been at one time I don't know but not today.
Freyda 2 years
Actually Guest26 most of what I am referring to comes from PEOPLE Magazine, Oprah and etc. NOT tabloids!! Who else wants the "biggest seller" of tabloids title? Is there any competition for Jen to do battle with for that ignominious title? Paparazzi don't get paid to listen in on restaurant conversations and have ZERO access to dining rooms or you would see photos of Jen & Justine eating and cooing & billing. I got a big laugh out of that TMZ nonsense since Jen's house is right on a corner and no access could possibly be blocked for he neighbors and there have been ZERO photos of either Jen or Justin in or around that house except aerials. There were very few shots of the two of them in LA and none of them in NYC until Brad's movie was about to premiere. If Jen doesn't need to work to get press then why don't we see her in the rags every week? Don't the paparazzi know where Washington D.C. is? There was JA all over the net at an event that was photographed and distributed widely. Do you really think the paparazzi don't monitor that stuff? The monitor Twitter FCOL! And why are Jen & Justin staying in a hotel in NYC when Justin has a perfectly good apartment in Manhattan? Your whole premise is ridiculously ignorant!
loser60 2 years
so scary what you know and she isn't a big star anymore - she is working to get press and she has dated half of hollywood in what five or six years? i am sure you know the exact months etc scary
Guest26 2 years
@Freyda Most of what you are talking about comes from tabloids, so I wouldn't call those accurate sources, nor would I think Jen is feeding them details (and if there's repetition from previous boyfriends to Justin, that just proves this even more). She's the biggest seller of magazines, a proven fact, which is why these tabloids write anything and everything they can about her to get people to buy. And the paps have been following them. TMZ reported the circus that has occurred in LA since they moved in together and several NY outlets have reported on the pap crush outside their apartment since they arrived there (likely made worse by her ex's stupid comments to Parade). She gets press just for existing. If she steps outside, cuts her hair, etc. it becomes international news. She doesn't need to work to get press. The only reason they haven't been papped much since last week is that they left NY and went to visit his family in Virginia (per tweets) and for her to do her premiere in Washington for Five, and seem to have stayed in a hotel upon returning to NY this weekend. Now that they are back in LA, they will probably be able to return to their low profile since they can travel in cars from one gated location to another.
Freyda 2 years
LOL!!! JustGossip .... you are a hoot and a half. We get the details of Jen's dinners with Vince, Paul, Scott, Justin, John, Chris ... everyone but the grip she was boning when she shot "Traveling" ... nt famous enough I guess .. and her birthday parties, her introduction dinners of her "boyfriends" to her father and step-mother and etc. Remarkable that Jen is so open and repetitious about her courting & dining and so eager to let her neighbors record the goings on. Amazing coincidence that repeats over and over and over.

the way i see it JA is becoming more and more beautiful and JT is becoming more handsome everyday.... no wonder they were being followed wherever they go
JustGossip 2 years
@Tichrissie Be more private? Can't really do anything about the fact that the paps follow them around 24/7. In six months they have posed for a total of seven photos together, two of those were with other people. They have refused to walk down any red carpets together. Jen has refused all questions about him during the dozens and dozens of interviews she gave for "Horrible Bosses" and "Five". There weren't even any bikini shots during their two week vacation in Hawaii, just a couple of photos the first few days they were on the island. Some people roll out their relationship in a 60 page magazine photo spread, give press conferences every day for weeks leading up to the birth of their first child, pose for endless magazine covers together even when they don't have anything to promote, give a full rundown to people magazine every three months about intimate details of their family life, yap on about each other and their sex lives in every interview they give. I'd say Jen and Justin have been pretty private considering.

I hope this one works out for her but if I was her I'd watch out not to make the same mistakes twice: whenever she has a new guy they parade their relationship too much to the media. Those in long lasting hollywood couples seem to all say that it is the worst thing you could do for your relationship... Be a bit more private Jen, it'll benefit you in the long run!

@yeahbaby oh i just google it as justgossip suggests it because in my memory, i never see jennifer wears lot of black like that. and in google images, jennifer wears less black clothes than now (she wears only black clothes now). i don't remember haters tell she is wearing many black but you are probably right because i'm "new" on gossip site. and to me, it's not a critic but an observation. many couple do it (and me too) so there are nothing wrong with that.

@1246386 She has always been wearing back and has been majorly criticized for it long before Justin came along. E-online has a whole gallery highlighting her excessive use of LBD. Black isn't a new thing for her. But her haters will grasp at straws to criticize her for the most trivial things.

Jen has been wearing the same clothes for YEARS. Why do people find it so hard to use google images? There are many, many photos of her wearing black, wearing boyfriend jeans, hats. Personally I think they wore the matching fedoras today as a big F.U. to the haters. Obviously they could care less if you think they dress alike. LOL
Guest26 2 years
They've both always dressed this way. There are pics of them from years ago where they both had the same hats, jeans, jackets. Anyways, they look cute together. They seem to be leaving a hotel and heading back to LA for her Elle Women in Hollywood honor with that luggage.

Is she copying his way of dressing or is he copying her? Whichever way it is, it needs to stop immediately.

activities and attractions in Mammoth Lakes High Sierra/Gold Country
Mammoth Lakes Information
There's no limit to the exhilarating experiences and adventures you can have in Mammoth – fish in our many lakes and streams, tee it up at California's highest golf courses, hike in the backcountry and celebrate in the mountains.
Winters in Mammoth Lakes are famous for huge snow packs. Recently over 600 inches have fallen in one season. Mammoth offers more days on the hill than any resort in California. 350 skiable acres. 3,100 ft. vertical drop. 150 trails. 29 lifts.
In addition to the exceptional skiing and snowboarding you will find miles of trails for snowmobiling, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing, all with magnificent views of the surrounding Sierra Nevada Mountains!
Summer, Mammoth's "other" season, brings even more opportunity for recreation: Golf, hiking, horseback riding or just soaking in the sun. For the avid mountain biker, Mammoth Mountain Bike Park offers some of the most diverse and challenging terrain around. The Eastern Sierra is also world famous for trout fishing.
Many other events are held throughout the summer; Mammoth Lakes Jazz Jubilee, Bluesapalooza and Festival of Beers, arts and crafts festivals, Fourth of July parade and fireworks, Fireman's Picnic, just to name a few.
• Fishing
Beginner to expert anglers can fish for trout at more than 400 lakes and 1,100 miles of streams in the Inyo National Forest area. Numerous derbies are held during the Summer.
• Hiking
Over thirty trail heads provide access to the 1,303,477 acres of wilderness backcountry for hikers seeking to escape into primitive and pristine areas. Trails of easy, moderate and strenuous ability lead to Alpine lakes and creeks, the John Muir Trail and the Ansel Adams Wilderness.
o Devil's Postpile National Monument is located in Red's Meadow. The columns of basalt were formed approx. 900,000 years ago when a lava flow slowed and began to cool and crack. Temperatures deep within the lava bed were uniform enough to produce six-sided columnar joints, 40 to 60 feet high resembling a giant pipe organ, polished to a shine by later glacial action.
o Rainbow Falls is located downstream from the Devil's Postpile. The headwaters of the San Joaquin River flows over an abrupt 101-foot drop, sending rainbows of color into the midst. Truly a sight that is breathtaking short hike.
• Golf
The Sierra Star Golf Course is a championship 18-hole, par 71 layout nestled within a shelter of Jeffrey Pines and White Fir, where each hole offers its own spectacular view.

Patience Suddarth
Patience Suddarth was born between 1775 and 1794. The only record I have found for Patience is the 1820 Crawford County, Indiana census. She is listed as head of household, between the ages of 26 and 45. It is likely that Patience is the mother of Lewis and John Suddarth. I continue the search for more information regarding Patience.

LONDON (Daily Prophet) Is carbon dioxide in overabundance these days and warming the earth?
Among Muggles, this is a subject for much heated discussion. At times, it would seem their windmill arrays could be run by the verbal wind expended by politicians, pro and con alike, in arguing the subject.
Perhaps they could relax a bit, if a North Yorkshire wizard is correct. He believes the major source of CO2 is well beyond Muggle control.
"Magic is the culprit," he says assuredly. "If anyone is at fault, it's the world's wizards and witches."
It's all simple chemistry, states self-styled scientist Ottenham ("Ottie") Woodford, during a recent Daily Prophet interview in his home at Wigglesworth-on-Ribble.
Ottie greets us at the door, bare-footed and garbed in a shepherd's robes. His eyes have a certain wildness in them; his white hair looks as though he had recently been struck by lightning.
His home is quite the unique place. There is no bedroom; he sleeps outdoors, year-round, in an improvised sleeping bag, to breathe fresh air. The laboratory, so-called, is rather chilly and dark, aside from one shaft of warm sunlight which reaches a central desk by an arrangement of clock-driven mirrors. We walk toward the light and take a seat. Around us, nearly every flat surface is buried in piles of parchments and books. The stony walls have no diplomas to enlighten and impress the visitor.
His hair glows in a halo as he leans forward into the light beam, proselytising. "Witches and wizards, as we all know, are ordinary human beings born with a rare genetic ability called magic. Whilst we pretend to ourselves that we are operating beyond Nature's confining rules, all our magic can only manipulate the world in accordance with standard scientific principles ... albeit in marvellous ways."
How, we ask, can our magic be in accordance with standard principles, yet at fault for global warming?
"Transfiguration is a good example. When a pig is transformed into a desk, a carbon-based life form is being changed—via the wand flash—into a silica-based object. Magic or not, a chemical process has to take place. Do we ever ask ourselves where the pig's carbon goes, or the desk's silica comes from?"
Never really thought about it, we answer. Is that important?
"Yes!" he exclaims, rather wide-eyed and agitated now. "That's the whole point! The pig's carbon molecules are dispersed into the air, and are ignited by the energy of the wand flash. The result is the creation of carbon dioxide. Voila, ergo, and Q.E.D.!"
But in the typical school demonstration, we argue, the desk is then transfigured back into a pig. Doesn't it all cancel out in the end—zero gain, zero loss?
"No, no, not at all! Flamel's Law of Conservation of Portkey Matter demands carbon expenditure and carbon recovery. Equal amounts of carbon are used, true. But the pig reforms by drawing carbon molecules from the earth—C, not CO2. The CO2, once created, is in the atmosphere to stay, until inhaled by plants. They inhale, y'know."
Transfiguration, we observe, is not that common a spell.
"It was one simple example. I daresay you travel every day by Portkey, Apparation, or the Floo Network. The same thing happens as in Transfiguration."
Really, we ask? Doesn't the traveller physically move from one place to another, intact?
"That's what the books say, and that's the standard impression of wizards. I question it! Tell me how a Splinch happens. Is there some monster in the Apparation world, hacking body parts off travellers passing through?"
We can't answer except with a question. How, then, does a witch or wizard travel?
"By scientific principles. Travelling as an intact body is merely an illusion! When the very complicated makeup of a human body and mind is transported, the carbon-based creature is changed to energy, and the CO2 disperses. If all goes well, the energy is transmitted properly, then reforms as a carbon-based creature. If the traveller fails to concentrate, the energy wavers, and a Splinch takes place. In any event, a huge amount of CO2 results."
Isn't that good, then, since the CO2 we're creating is food for trees?
"You might think so, but where will the 2 parts of oxygen, the O2 in CO2, come from? Out of the atmosphere, my dear boy! It's the air that flows into the space vacated by the traveller. Using oxygen means more work for the plant kingdom, and less oxygen for you and me!"
So, we should either stop breathing, or—
"Or do less wand waving! Even the wand flash itself causes an oxygen inrush and carbon dispersal, meaning a bit of CO2 from any use of a wand. There it is, don't you see? Look at your own living habits. We don't wash pots; we take out a wand and Scourgify them. Result: CO2 from the wand flash. We Portkey the whole family to visit grandmum; there's another huge amount of CO2! Think of all this gas, clogging the atmosphere! Think, man! Oh, and don't even ask about prolonged spells!"
That begged further inquiry, so of course, we ask. What about prolonged spells?
He moans. Obviously it's not his favourite subject. "A profligate waste! We hide whole buildings! We have a disguising spell over several square miles for Hogwarts! We carpool to work with a half-dozen friends in a charmed Austin Mini! We find all these ways to stuff ten pounds in a five-pound bag, and of course, they take energy to maintain, including an ongoing creation of CO2. Don't even mention the Hogwarts Express to me! Ooh! Not only is it a prolonged spell to cloak it, but it burns coal to run the steam engine! And now, there are wizards in the Ministry working with the Muggle bigwigs to use that same charm to make British Army vehicles invisible on the battlefield. Foolish, foolish, foolish!"
But if we must belt-tighten on prolonged spells to limit CO2, wouldn't the Wizarding Wireless Network have to be shuttered at some point?
"Not really. Yes, the WWN requires a tremendous expenditure of continuous charm in transmission, but since it uses a negative wavelength to avoid Muggle detection, the charm's generating beneficial negative carbon ions (C-), thus cleaning the atmosphere. Besides, they're powering it from essentially free energy; they draw it out of the air from BBC Radio 4 … which no one was listening to anyway."
How can we offset whatever damage our wand-waving has already caused?
"For that, we should borrow a Muggle idea and consider the 'carbon wandprint' that our magic impresses on the atmosphere. If your wandprint is exceedingly large, you can offset it with 'charm credits,' as it were, by planting trees."
City dwellers, we note, might find that impossible.
"You can pay others to do it for you in the countryside, y'know."
That sounds almost like the sale of indulgences in medieval times.
"Oh, there may be charlatans in the business, but not all are. For instance, I offer my services in that regard, and for a few galleons..."
We refer him to our advertisement manager.
However, not everyone agrees with Woodford's dire forecast. We asked the witch we remember for changing tortoises into teapots and vice versa: Headmistress Minerva McGonagall of Hogwarts, recent author of Advanced Transfiguration.
"Oh, I believe 'codswallop' would be the technical term for that," she contends. "To label a wand as a major source of carbon dioxide seems quite a stretch. A wizard exhales more of it while speaking the charm, and we don't advocate less exhaling by wizards now, do we?"
Nevertheless, some say the global temperature is rising at a dangerous rate. Do you believe, we ask, that CO2 from magic might be a factor?
"If you predict at dawn that the sun is going to continue to rise in the sky, you'll be considered right brilliant — until noon, after which you'd be dead wrong, because these things go in cycles! The earth has boiled before, and has frozen over before, without any help from us. I'd daresay it might do it again sometime, if it's in the mood."
But can we minimise our CO2 and turn the tide on greenhouse emissions?
"If Mr. Woodford believes that he can make a noticeable difference, he's welcome to try," she sniffs. "In Gryffindor's day, King Canute's most dedicated followers believed he could control the tides; he couldn't, obviously, and he knew that, but he had to prove a negative to them. How do I prove to Ottie Woodford that magic folk can't raise or lower the global temperature, for heaven's sake?"
Mr. Woodford is just as adamant.
"Magicians, conserve your magic for a better world. Waste not, want not — wand not!"

Home away from home
Review submitted: July 18, 2013 Date of arrival: June 29, 2013
This was the best holiday we ever had. The house is perfectly located with every convenience you could ask for. We can recommend this house with all of our heart. We were visiting from Ireland and can truly say after years of traveling around the world that this was the best location we ever stayed. It is clean, modern and welcoming and had everything we needed. The shared information from other guests and recipes were a great touch. Coleman was so welcoming and the information he gave about the area was fantastic. There were sea turtles laying eggs in the night and he told us how to see this without disturbing them. We swam with manatees in the manatee park. We saw dolphins. There is so much to see and do that after 2.5 weeks we had only scratched the surface.

Owners response:
I so appreciate this wonderful review!
I'm glad you found the unit to be welcoming and comfortable. We just fell in love with the place--and the location--the first time we saw it, and family, friends and guests have all seem to share that sentiment.
It sounds as though you really made the most of your time in Cocoa Beach. It's always a treat to witness the turtles nesting and, yes indeed, there are ways of observing without disturbing. I'm glad you were so fortunate! And 'swimming with manatees'??? Wonderful!!!
Thank you for this kind review as well as your very thoughtful consideration in caring for our place during your stay. We hope to see you again soon.

So Sad to leave. Great Condo and Awesome Location
Review submitted: July 3, 2013 Date of arrival: June 23, 2013
I can not thank you enough for sharing your beautiful condo with us. The pictures don't do this wonderful place justice. My family and I were so sad to leave. We even had the pleasure of seeing sea turtles laying their eggs. One turtle laid her eggs right at the end of the walkway. Everything was perfect and very clean.The garden in the walkway made us feel like we were truly on an island.
Coleman, the gentleman that manages the condo is so sweet. I had a great time talking with him and he even showed me some great places to walk to and things to do. He was so helpful and made checking in and out very easy.
We can't wait until next year to come back again. I have told all my friends about this condo and passed out your name and email to several people.
This was an awesome find and we were blessed to be able to stay here.
Thank you to both you and Coleman

Well, this review really made my day! :-)
I am so glad that your family was fortunate enough to witness the turtle activity! I think you were there at the peak of the season. I am told that the stretch of beach along the Space Coast is one of the most active turtle nesting areas on the East Coast.
We'll certainly be looking forward to your next stay!

You've heard the phrase 'location, location, location'? Well, this condo has all three-a unique carriage house-type living space, in a quiet section of southern Cocoa Beach, that is just steps away from a peaceful uncrowded beach. The accommodations within this condo are very appealing and comfortable. Mark is committed to making your visit the best vacation possible and his contact person was very helpful. We are definitely planning a return trip in 2014.
Recommended for: pet-friendly, sight seeing
Owners response:
It is truly gratifying to read a review such as this one. Our unit--and its "twin" (owned by another resident of the complex)--certainly is unique for its "stand alone" feel and beach-level courtyard entrance. And I see that our guest also appreciated the quietness of our stretch of beach.
But I particularly appreciate the mention of our "contact person." I (Mark) actually live in the Atlanta area, but a long-time friend, surfing buddy and former neighbor, who lives just a few doors up the beach, has been doing a splendid job of preparing the unit, greeting guests, answering questions, etc. It is great to have someone with a great work ethic and a personal concern taking care of such things, and I'm glad that our guests notice the difference it makes. They find it exceptionally clean and inviting, and know that there is someone nearby happy to help should any problems arise.

Great vacation spot!
Review submitted: April 13, 2013 Date of arrival: April 6, 2013
This place was perfect for 2 adults and a 3 year old! We enjoyed the quick access to the beach, just a few steps, and the comfy house. My 3 year old loved "Cocoa House," and we had a great time exploring the restaurants and activities nearby. Mark's restaurant and activity suggestions were great, our favorite activities included kayaking with manatees and the Brevard Zoo, which is a quick drive from the house. We had a great and super relaxing week, and can't wait to go back. The beach was beautiful, and with the closeness of it, we were able to go multiple times a day. We are very sad to be going home!

Owners response:
Thank you for this kind review! I'm glad to know that you had a pleasant stay and also found some of our suggestions for local food and fun helpful. It's especially cool that you were able to go kayaking among the manatees--an activity usually overlooked by visitors to the area. It never ceases to amaze me how five or ten minutes of paddling can put you into a place of solitude and in the midst of wildlife--right in the middle of a busy tourist area. (Next time, ask us directions to "Sunset Beach"--our name for a secluded, sandy spot with exceptional views across the Banana River and where we often take picnic breaks while paddling around and through the mangrove islands.)
Thank you also for your considerateness in leaving the unit in exceptionally good condition. There was little to do after your departure! :-)
Please tell your little one that the welcome mat to the "Cocoa House" is rolled out and we would love to have you stay again soon.

Great Vacation Spot
Review submitted: March 17, 2013 Date of arrival: March 10, 2013
This is a wonderful vacation spot. The condo is quiet and comfortable with the beach right in your backyard. We had a great time. If you are a fan of Mexican food the condo is just a stone's throw from Taco City, a local bar and restaurant that has some truly great food. If you want some nightlife be sure to check out "Coconuts On the Beach". It has a large outside area, a great menu and some live music. Cocoa Beach is an amazing vacation spot, the beaches were never too crowded, there are tons of great tourist fare shops, some great restaurants with very reasonably priced menus, and of course this great condo to stay in. Mark is very accommodating and a wonderful host, we hope to be back soon. Thanks Mark!!

Owners response:
We're very happy that Gabb had an enjoyable stay, and appreciate the comments on our unit and the area. We, too, find it "quiet and comfortable" when we are there. As we've tried to emphasize on our website, the complex and unit are situated on a quiet stretch of beach away from the crowds so that you'll often have the beach to yourself. And our unit in particular, being detached as it is, affords more of a sense of privacy.
It sounds like Gabb enjoyed the best of both worlds, staying at our quiet south end spot but also spending some time in downtown Cocoa Beach where things are a bit livelier (e.g., Coconuts). Good strategy, Gabb! :-) We hope you'll be able to return soon. And thank you for this kind review.

Perfect Getaway
Review submitted: October 28, 2012 Date of arrival: October 20, 2012
This was such a pleasant place to be! We loved that it was detached from the other condos so that our toddlers could run, dance and sing without disturbing anyone. They loved the beach and would have spent the whole time out there if they could have. "Sandy" was threatening the Florida coast when we left and it was comforting to know there were hurricane shutters fitted for all of the windows and these also helped earlier in the week to keep light out so that our toddlers actually slept in!! (that very very rarely happens!)
We loved all the suggestions the owner had for the area restaurants and other things to do. We have never stayed so close to the beach before and it was simply captivating and rejuvenating as well.
So in a nutshell: the owner is GREAT to work with and is extremely kind; the area is gorgeous; the condo is perfect for a family of 4 and is fully stocked with items a family needs; and a week here will definitely help you realize the beauty of life and the world around you.
We would love to come back! It's only been a day and our little boy keeps asking when we can go back to "the Beach House"?

Ha!!! Yes, when we first bought the place our son and his family were the first from our bunch to vacation there. They loved it. Partly because of the courtyard entrance and partly because of the way our unit is detached from any other buildings (almost like having a tiny beach house rather than a condo unit), my son who, like me is a Tolkien fan, said, "It's like having a Hobbit House on the beach!" The name sort of stuck. And now we have guests calling it that! :-)

We thoroughly enjoyed staying in this quaint condo on Cocoa Beach. Private access to the beach is only a few steps out the door. This condo is VERY affordable and comfortable. We felt like we were at home. The kitchen is fully equipped so no need to spend money eating out unless you want to. The condo sleeps 4 adults comfortably. There are boggie boards, a long board, and beach chairs for your use as well. We loved this condo so much we booked another week in March 2013. If you want to be directly on the beach with access to the wonderful restaurants and shops in Cocoa Beach, this is the condo for you.

We're thrilled that Joy enjoyed her time at our place and has already booked a return visit! And March is a great time to flee the Milwaukee winter and spend time in Cocoa Beach!
Her description is accurate. We're right on the beach, with a private access. What is more, we are along a stretch of beach with NO public parking. The result is that you'll often find that you pretty much have the beach to yourself--well away from the crowds.
We are of the opinion that the south end is by far the best part of Cocoa Beach. We expect you'll agree!

Production will focus on ABS, EPS and DCT motors and electronic automotive components
SEOUL, South Korea, June 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Innotek, a leading global components manufacturer, today opened in Mexico its first overseas plant for the production of auto components to better serve its leading Tier-1 automotive customers and strengthen its global expansion.
The opening ceremony for the plant in San Juan del Rio, Queretaro, northwest of Mexico City, was attended by more than 150 dignitaries including regional and local government officials and representatives of the South Korean government, who were hosted by Ung-Beom Lee, CEO of LG Innotek.
The plant will manufacture core automotive components, including motors for brakes, steering systems and gearshifts. The Mexican plant will help ensure on-time delivery of these crucial supplies to key automotive customers in Mexico and the rest of North America.
San Juan del Rio was selected as the first overseas site for LG Innotek's automotive components operations because of its excellent road and air transport links to customers throughout North America. Mexico accounts for 60 percent of global exports of automotive components and is the main supplier to North America.
"The new facility in San Juan del Rio will be a core center in our global manufacturing network as we seek to provide better and more valuable support to our customers. We recognize the growing importance of Mexico as a major supplier hub in the global automotive industry," said Mr. Lee. "Many of our customers already operate in Mexico and we believe that being close to them will enhance our on-time delivery record."
The 34,000 square meter plant will employ around 600 workers and will begin full operations in August with the manufacturing of Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) motors.
