Pakistani Governor Assassinated in Islamabad
A prominent Pakistani governor has been assassinated in the capital of Islamabad. Salmaan Taseer was reportedly shot dead earlier today by a member of his own security detail. Taseer was the governor of Punjab, which is widely considered the most politically important province of Pakistan. Taseer recently became embroiled in controversy after he spoke out against the country's Islamic blasphemy law. In November, a Pakistani Christian woman was sentenced to death after being found guilty of defaming the Prophet Muhammad. In one of his last posts on Twitter, Taseer wrote, "I was under huge pressure to cow down before rightest pressure on blasphemy. Refused. Even if I'm the last man standing."
Rep. Issa to Big Business: What Regulations Should GOP Fight?
In news from Capitol Hill, Congressman Darrell Issa (R-CA) has asked the oil industry, drug manufacturers, healthcare providers and telecom firms to tell him which government regulations he should target this year as the new chair of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. According to Politico, Issa has sent letters to more than 150 trade associations, companies and think tanks last month requesting a list of existing and proposed regulations that would harm job growth. At least two recipients of Issa's letter — the National Association of Manufacturers and the National Petrochemical & Refiners Association — complained about new U.S. Environmental Protection Agency standards for greenhouse gas emissions for major polluters that went into effect Sunday.
GOP House to Vote to Repeal Entire Healthcare Bill
The new House Republican leadership has announced a vote will be held a week from Wednesday to repeal the entire heathcare reform law passed last year. With 242 Republicans in the House, the measure is expected to pass, but Senate Democrats have already said they have no plans to consider the repeal. Several portions of the healthcare law took effect on Saturday, including one that provides discounts to Medicare beneficiaries for the purchase of prescription drugs. In addition, co-pays on preventive care are now prohibited and health insurers must spend a higher percentage of the cost of premiums on actual medical care.
JPMorgan Exec Considered for White House Chief of Staff
President Obama is considering naming JPMorgan Chase executive William Daley to become his new chief of staff, replacing Rahm Emanuel who resigned last year. Daley is the brother of Chicago mayor Richard Daley. He served as commerce secretary under President Clinton and played a key role in pushing the North American Free Trade Agreement. Daley is now the Midwest chair of JPMorgan Chase and a board member of the pharmaceutical giant Merck. Meanwhile, Obama's 2008 campaign manager, David Plouffe, is set to replace David Axelrod as the President's senior political adviser.
Schwarzenegger Reduces Sentence of Son of Former Assembly Speaker
Outgoing California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is coming under criticism for reducing the prison term of the son of former California Assembly Speaker Fabian Núñez. In 2008, Esteban Núñez was sentenced to 16 years in prison after pleading guilty to voluntary manslaughter and assault with a deadly weapon for his role in a 2008 drunken brawl that led to the death of Luis Santos. In his last day in office, Schwarzenegger shortened Esteban Núñez's sentence to seven years.
Union & State Workers Come Under Increasing Attack
Jerry Brown was sworn in as California's new governor on Monday. In his inaugural speech, Brown said he would he oversee a review that could result in government workers losing some of their benefits and pensions.
Jerry Brown: "The budget I present next week will be painful, but it will be an honest budget. The items of spending will be matched with available tax revenues, and specific proposals will be offered to realign key functions that are currently spread between state and local government in ways that are complex, confusing and inefficient. My goal is to achieve greater accountability and reduce the historic shifting of responsibility back and forth from one level of government to another. The plan represents my best understanding of our real dilemmas and possibilities. It's a tough budget for tough times."
In New York, the state's new governor Andrew Cuomo is preparing to call for a one-year salary freeze for state workers. The moves by Jerry Brown and Andrew Cuomo are seen as part of a growing push across the country to limit the power of labor unions, particularly those representing government workers. The New York Times reports Republican lawmakers in Indiana, Maine, Missouri and seven other states plan to introduce legislation that would bar private-sector unions from forcing workers they represent to pay dues or fees, reducing the flow of funds into union treasuries. In Ohio, the new Republican governor John Kasich wants to ban strikes by public school teachers. Wisconsin's new governor Scott Walker is threatening to take away government workers' right to form unions and bargain contracts.
Survey: 61 Percent Support Higher Taxes on the Rich
A new survey from CBS News' 60 Minutes shows a vast majority of Americans support raising taxes on the wealthy or cutting military spending to help balance the national budget. In the survey, 61 percent of respondents said they preferred new taxes on the rich, 20 percent backed cuts to military spending, four percent said they would cut Medicare, and just three percent said they would cut Social Security.
Iran Offers Access to Nuclear Facilities
Iran has offered to invite representatives from Russia, China, Egypt and the European Union to visit its nuclear facilities in a move to resolve the dispute over Iran's nuclear program.
Ramin Mehmanparast, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman: "The new move of inviting the ambassadors of different countries to visit our nuclear facilities has once again shown the goodwill of our country regarding cooperation and peaceful activities."
The Obama administration has dismissed Iran's offer and called on Iran to grant greater access to the International Atomic Energy Agency.
WikiLeaks: Israel is Preparing for "Major War" in Middle East
The Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten is claiming it has come into possession of all of the classified U.S. diplomatic cables obtained by WikiLeaks. In a report on one newly released cable, the paper reveals that Israeli Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi told a U.S. congressional delegation a little over a year ago that the Israeli military is forging ahead at full speed with preparations for a new war in the Middle East. The cables quote Ashkenazi saying, "I'm preparing the Israeli army for a major war, since it is easier to scale down to a smaller operation than to do the opposite."
Obama Prepares to Defy Congress on Guantánamo Limitations
ProPublica is reporting the Obama administration is planning to reject congressional efforts to limit the President's options on Guantánamo, setting the stage for a confrontation between the President and the new Congress. The Guantánamo provisions, which include limits on where and how prisoners can be tried, were attached to a spending bill for military pay and benefits approved by Congress late last year. Some administration officials are recommending that President Obama sign the spending bill and then issue a "signing statement" challenging at least some of the Guantánamo provisions as intrusions on his constitutional authority.
Goldman Sachs Invests $450 Million in Facebook
In business news, Goldman Sachs has taken an ownership stake in Facebook by investing $450 million in the company. The New York Times reports the move will help Facebook stay a privately held company, thus remaining free of government regulation and from the volatility of Wall Street. The deal may be scrutinized by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Just last month, the SEC launched a probe into the surge in trading shares of privately held internet companies.
Psychologists Protest Army's Treatment of Bradley Manning
The group Psychologists for Social Responsibility has written a letter to U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates protesting the military's treatment of Bradley Manning, the U.S. Army private accused of leaking classified documents to the online whisteblowing website WikiLeaks. Manning has been held in solitary confinement at the U.S. Marine Corps brig at Quantico, Virginia, since July. The group accused the military of holding Manning in needlessly brutal conditions.

In her epic book, "The Guns of August," historian Barbara Tuchman detailed how World War I began in 1914, and how the belligerence, vanity and poor policies of powerful leaders led millions to gory deaths. We can look at that war in retrospect, as if through a distant mirror.

Here are five technologies which your school should consider carefully:
1. VoIP or Voice over Internet Protocol Telephony
VoIP has dramatically lowered the cost of residential and institutional phone service. It makes use of your existing network and adds dozens of new features inexpensively. So why are you paying all that money to one of Ma Bell's offspring? Read Integrating Voice Into the School Network: Benefits of Wireless VoIP
2. Digital Photography
Digital cameras and videocams have made professional photographic results achievable by all of us. As the number of units sold increases, the cost decreases. The uses for digital photography in a school setting are virtually limitless. I particularly like digital yearbooks as they can be finished up just weeks before graduation as opposed to the paper yearbooks which require months of production lead time. Photo galleries personalize and enrich your teaching. Digital photography makes all this possible inexpensively and, most importantly these days, instantly.
3. DVD and CD Burners and Duplicators
Don't violate copyright laws with these incredible tools. Use them to duplicate digital yearbooks, presentations and catalogs for your school. Combine the duplicating hardware with Photo Editing and Web Design Software and produce most of your advertising and promotional materials 'in house'. Your students will quickly assimilate the skills required for these 'new age' graphics and communications arts subjects and save your school money.
4. Wireless Technologies
Wireless networks and cell phones have dramatically increased technology's mobility and flexibility while at the same time dramatically cutting the costs. Wireless is ideal for most instructional settings: auditoria, classrooms, the outdoors - you name it. Wireless can work for you. It's cheap and easy to install compared to traditional wired networking. The latest iteration of wireless networking is mesh networking. Essentially wireless mesh networking makes your campus into one giant hotspot.
5. Offsite Data Backup
While this sounds like 'geek speak', offsite data backup using the internet keeps your data safe and secure at remarkably low cost. You saw what happened to data in those New Orleans schools damaged by Hurricane Katrina. Don't let that happen to you. For $50-$100 a month you can backup your data automatically on a schedule you predetermine. Best of all you won't have any more backup tapes to 'forget' to take to the bank or some other secure location. (You are doing that, aren't you?)

It has been an incredibly competitive few weeks, and it's not over yet. One more to go, perhaps more, but ... er - wtf are you talkin' 'bout, jes? I hear you cry.
Er, sorry. I'll start again.
While doing the weight loss dance, I am also, yet again, looking for work. It colors my days, no matter how successful it is. It's tiring. I swear I should get cardio points for it.
And this month, in particular, has been busy. I have had four in-person interviews so far, with a fifth one scheduled for the day after tomorrow. And so - here goes -
The first one, on 10/3, was with L. I have worked at L before, and the commute is excellent although it has other things that are not so recommended. Be that as it may, they decided to pass on me but they also hauled my resume over to another department. I am not holding my breath on department #2 calling but hey, we'll see. Keep in mind that I kind of have a dual track going - social media and data analysis. The truth is, I want to do social media. But I can make a living doing data analysis, even though it generally bores me to tears. This one was for data analysis so I am not exactly sorry to see it go.
The second was on 10/11, and was with B1. Lovely people and it's in social media! Except the commute stinks on ice. I am still waiting to hear about that one.
The third was on 10/19, at B2 (sorry for the confusion; I don't name companies). Lovely people, kick-bun commute. But - le sigh - it's in data analysis. Feh.
The fourth was this morning, at C. Great commute, and it's in kind of a marketing/social media hybrid thingie but mostly marketing. This was one of those jobs that I applied to because I like to do something every work day. But the truth was, when I sent that one out, all I could think of was - you're out of your depth. And I ended up psyching myself up this morning before going in - they wouldn't bring you in unless they thought you could do this.
Well, no, that's exactly what they did. I get the feeling that the HR Department wrote the job description and did the initial screening 'cause there I was, babbling on about social media (which is all over the job description) and the interview said, "Well, we don't do too much of that." Oh. Then I was asked to comment on their website. And I mentioned that a particular blog wasn't up to date (although I thought the idea of a blog was a rather good one). And the interviewer said, "We don't have any blogs." Well, all righty, then!
I came home, and I checked. While there was no place to put comments, the entries were dated and had social voting buttons. Hence, I stand by my assessment. It may not be a blog in the strictest sense, but that is a freakin' blog.
I still think I blew that one.
The fifth one, on Wednesday, will be another lousy commute for a social media role. Sigh. We'll see.
Everything has a problem, yes. But at least there is interest.
In other competitive news, I ran my 34th 5K yesterday. It was a fairly big race with a lot of walkers and I landed kinda near the front of the final third of the pack. Not too shabby.
Truth is, I mainly despise competing. I like collaborating. If we could all run the 5K together by everyone, young, old, fat, thin, short, tall, fast, slow, holding hands and crossing the finish line together, I would prefer that.
And if there was a way to get a job without competition (and I mean a good job; I'm not talking about becoming a paper carrier), I would jump at it.
Working with people - for real - is what a lot of these social media jobs are all about. They tend to have Twitter and FB and blogging window dressing, but they are usually about company collaboration. Yet the very essence of getting these jobs is to be cutthroat.
What's wrong with this picture?
I have been thinking recently about the economics of obesity and weight loss.
At about the size 14 mark (up to size 18, depending upon the company), women's clothing suddenly turns about 10 - 25% more expensive. Now, truth be told, additional fabric is needed. And fabric is not free. I get the economics of this although it does not thrill me.
Larger automobiles cost more - and they often get worse gas mileage. Again, more sheet metal = more expenses. And that lowers fuel efficiency. Plus obesity lowers fuel efficiency. The same articles that tell you to take the junk out of your car's trunk in order to improve gas economy are often too polite to tell you to get the junk out of your own trunk. For gasoline efficiency does not care whether the extra 20 pounds comes from a pair of lounge chairs that are living in your car because you're too lazy to move them into your shed, or if it comes from a year's worth of Taco Bell.
Obesity can mean increased insurance costs, as your risks are higher. Insurance companies do not care whether your increased risk comes from cigarette smoking, living near an oil refinery, taking up sky diving as a hobby or that same per annum consumption of Taco Bell. They just make their actuarial calculations and you can come up short, and end up paying through the nose.
Yet, paradoxically, larger portion restaurants often cost less. And higher calorie foods (often the result of some serious processing) can also cost less. Funny, isn't it, that a lovely pound of apples which have had little done to them other than growth and harvesting can often cost more than a premade apple pie? Or a place that prides itself on its giant portions is dirt cheap, whereas a restaurant where everyone complains about portion size is often on the high end of things. Any size coffee - $2.69! Why the hell WOULDN'T you buy the biggest cup you could get? And cream and sugar are free. Why the hell WOULDN'T you load up on them as well?
It's an interesting dynamic, the push-pull of our culture when it comes to weight loss, dieting and obesity.
We recognize that we, as a nation, are getting fatter. We know we need to make better choices. We know we need to drive less and eat less and walk more and drink more water. Yet when it comes to that, we stymie ourselves at every turn. We make water hard to get (And public restrooms? Fuggeddabboutit!). We are plied with tons of cheaply made, mass-marketed, processed food for cheap. We are punished for our dietary choices with expensive clothing and the like. Yet we are rewarded for them with inexpensive food and billion dollar advertising campaigns and what is almost crack in that food, all to train our brains that it is delicious and addictive and we can't get enough of it.
We need to get off that train, people. We need to vote - with our wallets, and our feet, and our taste buds, and even our ballots.
Up with health!
Down with the paradoxical insanity!
Who's with me? I gotta find a castle to storm! Let's go storm a castle*!
*Er, maybe not a White Castle, okay?
A lot of people have busy summers, but I rarely seem to these years. Instead, this is suddenly the really busy part of my year.
Perhaps it has to do with the leaves turning, the students coming back and the nip that is now firmly ensconced in the air. Maybe it's the beginning of the fourth quarter of the year, as people are saying - Hey, it's time to get serious.
And so it is serious time.
I enjoy the color of early autumn and the relief from the blisteringly hot summer we had. My walks have gotten faster as I've been able to exert myself without flop-sweating. The water I drink is now hot from the tap (I despise ice water, always have). My creative juices seem to be flowing a lot better. Things are good. I just seem to be *on*.
But this is the first half of autumn. The second half, eh, I don't like it so much. You really see the effects of the equinox-tilt. You see the skies getting darker so much earlier. The trees become barer. It is, as Simon and Garfunkel sang, the hazy shade of winter.
But that is for after All Hallows' Eve. For these last precious few weeks, it's foliage time. It is time to see pouch-cheeked squirrels fussing with their acorn bundles as they prepare for winter. No flirty chasing each other now, like they did in the spring. No. Now is the time to buckle down.
The littler and skinnier dogs in my neighborhood are starting to sport little jackets. They wear canid Patriots jerseys to match their owners. Schoolchildren waiting for the bus check one last time - Do I have my homework with me? And they do, for they have turned serious.
And we are all through with coasting, at least for now, I feel, as we get the real work done. And the real work means not only more resumes going out there (and more interviews - I had one last week and I have two this week. When it rains, it pours) but also more careful meal planning. More measuring. More walking. More water drinking (good thing - for me - that it's hot).
And it pays off, as last year's jeans fit just fine, and I am sure I'm be able to stretch last year's warm jackets one more year. For I, too, will be pulling on the thermals soon enough.
And the riots of color and the jumps into piles of raked leaves will mask the true seriousness of these days, as the slide down turns into a run down and elusive goals are, again, sought with vigor.
It's a good day for a pic of a baby duck.
Hence the photo.
Anyway - 2 days ago, I ran my (gawd) 34th 5K. Every time I say the # these days, it's freaky. I mean, who the hell does that?
Yet I suppose I do.
It comes from doing 10 races/year, and having done them since '09 (the 1st year, we did a much smaller #, hence the overall total isn't going to be 40 by the end of the calendar year). We'll do 11 this year, when all is said and done.
We run a 5K every month except for January and February, and this year we ended up with two in September. It is not hard, particularly when you get into the mode of not giving a damn if you're last. And I truly do not. Actually, in some ways, that's kinda cool. Everyone sees me arrive! :)
For this one, I was in the middle of the pack, both for my age group and overall. But this was a far larger group than normal and it was about half walkers. Essentially, I am fast for walking but I am slow for running. C'est la vie.
We'll see how the next one goes (10/21). And the next (11/4). And the one after that (12/16). Yeah, really.
It shapes the month and gives us things to look forward to. We both have drawers crammed with tee shirts. We support funky causes (this one was the Good Samaritans, who are suicide prevention). Next one will be to support the local YMCA and I think the following two will be for Boston Children's Hospital. All of that, to me, is more important than "winning", well, anything.
Get into the habit.
You'd think, with all this "leisure" time I have, not working and all, that I'd be happily relaxed and not pining for a vacation.
'Course not.
A part of it is the inevitable worry, not just about money and bills, but also, a small, nagging voice saying, "You're never going to work again!"
I hate that voice.
Yet it is talking to me, and it gets louder at times, and softer at others. Yes, folks, same old, same ole - I can't find work.
It is not through a lack of effort on my part, nor is it due to a lack of prospects out there (although over the summer, it was dead, dead, dead here). Last Friday, I had a phone screen. It all sounded lovely. The woman I talked to was pleasant and liked my questions. And whenever I'd ask, "Now, let me see if I understand ...", I would be right.
And here we are.
Now, I am well aware that these things take time, it doesn't happen overnight, yeah, I know all of this. I know the lyrics to this old song because I sing it every freakin' day.
And of course I sing it about my weight loss journey as well.
Important things take time.
You didn't get heavy overnight.
Maintenance is harder than losing.
Long-term losing is especially difficult.
You're 50 so, by definition, losing is a pain in the patoot.
And on and on and on.
I am awfully tired of the song.
And I am so tired of it that, truth be told, I've been ignoring other still, small voices.
On Sunday (er, yesterday), I got out a pair of jeans and put them on. Now, this is not remarkable in and of itself. However, this was the first time I'd put on something longer than capri pants (other than sweats) since early June or so, when Massachusetts decided to become as hot as the surface of the sun.
Size 16, dontcha know.
And they fit.
No tugging, no holding my breath. No cursing the day I was born.
Yes, I have been smaller. During this weight loss journey, I flirted off and into size 10 territory.
But I am fine with this. For the voice that tells me I will never work again and that I am a 16 and should be a 10 is trying to drown out the other voice.
The other voice says, yeah, you're a 16, but less than 5 years ago, you were a 26.
It says you walk every day and you lift weights and you have stamina that other people of your age can only dream about.
It says you make good choices and you don't let a brownie pulverize your willpower and your desire.
It says this ain't easy but you are doing it pretty damned well.
Now I just need to get it to talk about my job search.

On a night that went from bad to worse, only a knee injury could stop Toronto Argonauts quarterback Ricky Ray from tearing the Bombers apart en route to a miserable 35-19 loss in front of a heckling hometown crowd.
Two of the Bombers' points came via a late-game safety by Argos kicker Noel Prefontaine, as the clock ticked down in garbage time. Nine came off the foot of kicker Justin Palardy, who opened scoring with a 34-yard field goal less than three minutes into the night, after quarterback Buck Pierce led a 59-yard drive. He would do it again only 10 seconds into the second, a 30-yarder that time, and strike one last time in the fourth, even though the game was already far out of hand and most of the crowd of 31,257 had fled the stands.
At any rate, Palardy had a nice night. So did receiver Clarence Denmark, who had three receptions in the first, including one for 38 yards and another for 39, both of which helped put the Bombers in scoring position. Too bad most the rest of the team can't say the same good things.
The Bombers' attack sputtered after that nice start out of the gate: Pierce went 10 and 14 for 139 yards with one interception before Burke yanked him out of the game and replaced him with back-up Justin Goltz in the third. Pierce suffered an abdominal injury — the extent of his injury won't be known until Monday.
Meanwhile, Ray sliced and diced the defence, completing 19 of 20 attempts for 286 yards and two touchdowns, and nearly a third major before he had to leave the game with a banged-up knee in the third quarter.
Goltz did have some luck, handing the ball off to Chad Simpson near the Argos end zone for the Bombers' only touchdown of the game. True, there were only 29 seconds left to play, but hey, at least those fans left at Investors Group Field got something to smile over, as receiver Isaac Anderson caught the two-point convert to make the final score.
The Bombers weren't the only ones being heckled at Investors Group Field; Toronto Mayor Rob Ford was spotted along the sidelines at Friday night's game, and heard his fair share from the crowd before exiting.

A Phoenix man has been arrested after a dealership found child porn on a cell phone in a vehicle that he had traded in.
Jeremy Ryan Bringham, 30, was arrested on Thursday in Phoenix on seven counts of sexual exploitation of a minor.
A Midway Chevrolet employee told police the phone opened to a video of what the employee believed to be a girl, age 5 to 10, in a sex act with a man.
Police filed a search warrant and interviewed Bringham who said the phone was his and that he lost it in October of 2011.
Bringham also admitted to taking the images from a website of girls ages 10 to 15.
According to the police report, Bringham said he has been attracted to young girls since he was 15 years old.

Wonderful week diving and relaxing in Maldives
... is way more exciting than they thought!
Scot and Ross have also had a great time playing ping pong and tennis here (only they seem to like the heat well enough to get soaked in sweat playing tennis — and even when playing ping pong), and have even had a couple of nice doubles matches with the GM of the hotel, Jean Louis.
The girls have really enjoyed the diving, as well as the wonderful opportunities to get golden ...
A wander around the city
... near the reef and started a search pattern at 24m at a 45 degree angle away from the reef. After 20 minutes of blue water (ie nothing apart from a few random unicorn fish that chose to follow us). And there it was!
Just to the right of me. Swimming. Amazing!!!! Of course I chased after it - and saw it pretty close up, it was large. A scalloped hammerhead.
Most of the rest of the group had been a bit slow and didn't see it. ...
Bye for the next 4 days... from Maldives
... a personal celebrity experience.
And you put Malibu Scott and Jill from Brazil together and it's better than a sitcom. The sensitive gay guy with the brash Brazilian woman.
It was stormy again today, so I went to have a massage in the most gorgeous spa with the sound of the rain on the roof. It was really sweet. And I got to wear the sexiest G string... You have to wear it, so I did. This was my 3rd massage on the trip and in all 3 massages, the women climb on ...
Paradise- shark feeding frenzy, peace talks
... eaten in its purest form, we decided that WE were also hungry... luckily, there are Bryn-Tummy-Friendly foods here!!! So far, lunch and dinner each had a vegan Indian curry and dahl, and lots of fresh pineapple. Happiness! Nate has been able to eat a wide variety of tasty options, and there is a long buffet of vegetables, fruit and a dessert bar with ever-changing kaleidoscope of baked goodies- very good for a Nate :)
We had an incredible ...
I wish they would clean it up
... we would pay when we got back but he was adamant that we pay then. So we all did and we got safely back to shore. Not a good story about the Maldives but the water was magnificent when there was no rubbish about.
Walking around the streets was very hot and there were no women to be seen. Possibly because it was Ramadan, we weren't sure. Lots of motor bikes and as everyone told us nothing to see in Male ...

- The St Regis Mauritius ResortPhilipp SFirst to Review
15/20; Room 9/10, Facilities&Dining 4/5, Service 2/5. Beautifully located new-ish resort, with the vast majority of rooms looking onto one of the nicest beaches in Mauritius. Rooms are a tasteful mix of historical influence and new, something I'd maybe term neo-tropical-colonial, so appeals to a wide range of tastes. Its all stylish and supremely comfortable - the bed is the most comfortable I can remember sleeping in, but that's always subjective, o course. The resort is relatively compact yet still packs in a huge swimming pool (plus teo smaller ones), six restaurants, two bars, a tennis court, a kids club, all framed by the beach running the length of the property. The immediate surroundings are less exciting, unless you're there for the world-class kitesurfing, but at least the backdrop of Mont Calm reminds you that its not far to other attractions. Food coming out of the kitchen is very tasty, the beach-bar's cocktails are very good, its just all delivered quite chaotically, which is difficult to swallow at these prices. If that can be fixed, its hard to top as a great spot for a chillaxed break at the beach.Recommended for:Family Travelers

The Butler Auto Group comprises dealerships and certified service centers for Toyota, Nissan, Hyundai, Scion, and Kia cars. The network also includes a certified collision and bodywork center for Toyota and Scion vehicles that's staffed by a team of technicians adept at rejuvenating cars to pre-accident condition.
Tom Wood Ford's trained technicians repair already owned vehicles as its expert sales staffers sell new and preowned ones. Car-care services include tire rotations, front-end alignments, and air-conditioner repairs. In addition, the collision center repairs vehicles damaged in accidents, and the service and parts department assists autos à la carte.
O'Brien Auto Center belongs to the service wing of the O'Brien family's well-established car-dealership enterprise, which started in 1933. Helping uphold the family's history of automotive expertise are the center's certified technicians, who handle an array of maintenance duties, including changing oil, rotating tires, and flushing transmissions. Moreover, they can realign wheels and remake the melted snowmen that keep all vehicles' air-conditioning units cold.
At an early age, Kevin Coulter acquired advanced detailing and vehicular-reconditioning skills while working at a local Indiana Auto Auction. Today, he draws on more than 20 years of experience as he operates Luxury Cars of Indianapolis, where skilled techs service chariots using Meguiar's nonabrasive and eco-friendly products. The team wields pH-balanced leather conditioner to moisturize seats, a detailer's clay bar to smooth exterior surfaces, and custom-mixed paints to brighten auto cheeks. Staffers can also pick up, drop off, and spin vehicles on their fingertips for an additional cost.
For more than a quarter century, Redline Motorwerks and its ASE-certified techs have kept motors purring with an exhaustive list of services, whether they're replacing the engine on a Ford truck or changing the oil in a Porsche. When they aren't performing diagnostic tests, tuning up engines, or fixing electrical issues, the auto-enthusiasts turn to cosmetic concerns like protecting interiors from UV rays and UFO tractor beams with American-made MaxPro window tinting.
Located about a block away from Lucas Oil Stadium, the Pan Am Plaza Parking Garage grants shelter to vehicle-owning fans while taking in the Colts game at the stadium or a neighboring establishment. Fans can park in the garage any time of day on Sunday, November 6, when the Colts rear up to square off against the Atlanta Falcons at 1 p.m. in either a football match or a debate over which is the better symbol of the American frontier. Head to the nearby garage after the game to attempt to beat the traffic, or stay downtown for the day to celebrate a victory on the field. There is no time limit on parking, but drivers must remove their parked vehicles or portable living rooms from the premise at some point on November 6.

Trend Watch: American Heritage
Posted Aug 6, 2012, 12:00pm
The sun may be beating down on us this week, but we all know it's just for a hot minute. In the blink of an eye fall will be here and it's time to start thinking about looking for those autumn purchases. When you think fall, think American Heritage. Girls should embrace the great outdoors with rustic tweeds, denim, wool, canvas, and leather. Traditional prints and styles of plaids, tartans, checkers, equestrian jackets, shearling, Fair Isle sweaters and layers all get the high fashi...

Sigh. It's not like we didn't see this coming from a mile away, what with it being wrapped in red flags and yellow caution tape. A little more than a month after Rihanna described Chris Brown as "the love of my life," and a few weeks after she affectionately greeted her onetime attacker at the MTV VMAs, they apparently had a PDA-packed rendezvous on Monday at a New York club.
The action happened at hot spot Griffin, where onlookers tell Celebuzz that the dysfunctional exes arrived within five minutes of each other. Then, in what was presumably some sort of celebrity mating ritual, Brown ditched his shirt and began "dancing on the table for Rihanna," who soon joined in on the rug-cutting.
What followed, according to spies, was a mix of dirty dancing, hugging and "steamy kissing," along with a joint trip to the back of the club.
Alas, separate trips to a therapist's office were not on the agenda.
And what of Brown's sometime girlfriend, Karrueche Tran?
Chris' rep did not respond to our request for comment on their relationship, but if Tran's Twitter is any indication, she's coming to grips with some personal issues.
"There's a difference between a man and a boy," wrote Karrueche, who was supposedly annoyed by Chris and Rihanna's VMAs interaction. "I prefer men."
When a follower suggested that she "let it go" for her own good (whatever "it" may be), she responded, "oh baby I am."
If only RiRi could do the same thing.

Rated 3 out of 5 by IDKYUCARE Average I would say this product was just average. So for the price, its not good. I feel this product did not perform above average or even average. It was fair. Which for the price, is not good. June 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bzariq123 Great ... It's good to see that it will protect the hair... And it doesn't make ur hair feel sticky like the other heat procters ... The smell of the spray is lovely which makes the hair stay fresh June 10, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by cubababy Great product but faulty packaging Fantastic service from GHD, item was delivered very fast with good communication. But unfortunately after 3 days of use the spray action broke and I had to manually transfer the product in to another bottle. Think I was just unlucky and got a bad batch. The product itself is very good and is excellent at protecting your hair without weighing it down. June 3, 2014

Nicole Fiscella (born September 15, 1979) is an American actress and model, of Indian and St Lucian ancestry, who rose to fame through the book-based TV series Gossip Girl[1] as Isabel Coates.
Early life[edit]
Fiscella, who has a younger brother, Chaz George Fiscella, was born in Lenox Hill Hospital Manhattan, New York, and is the daughter of two doctors. Fiscella was also in the All-State Jazz Choir with world renowned director and political activist, Jim Augustine.
Fiscella started modeling in 2005, under New York Model Management. She has appeared on the covers of various beauty and fashion magazines, including Elle and Cosmopolitan, as she has also featured in campaigns for Pantene and GAP Body. Fiscella bagged the role of Isabel Coates, a "friend"/sidekick of Blair Waldorf and a part of the insider clique in The CW's Gossip Girl in March 2007. Fiscella as Coates has featured in 14 out of 18 episodes of the first season. She will be returning in the second season, of Gossip Girl, which is set to air in Fall 2008. She also starred in LL Cool J's Baby video as the lead girl.
Personal life[edit]
Fiscella graduated from Tufts University with a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology, and is currently pursuing an M.S. in Human Nutrition from the University of Bridgeport - although she admits that she has never been on to the campus, as she is taking the course online. When asked why she wanted to study Nutrition, by The New York Observer, Fiscella replied "Both of my parents are doctors, so we were always the health-nut family. I think I always wanted to do something in the medical field a little bit, but not as far as being a doctor, so this is a good median". Fiscella lives with her two cats, Tess and Oli in Manhattan. She says that she is addicted to blogging and exercise.
