Intelsat Reviews
"Full time engineer, approaching a decade with Intelsat "
- Comp & Benefits
- Work/Life Balance
- Senior Management
- Culture & Values
- Career Opportunities
I have been working at Intelsat full-time (more than 8 years)Pros
There are some very competent and skilled staff, speaking from an engineering standpoint. Occasionally, these bright stars are promoted to the position they deserve - though this process may take 5 to 10 years.
CEO seems to be forward thinking, and CTO is very competent. To be fair, engineering has very little contact with executive level management.
Flashy new building in Tysons Corner. Nice window view, if you are a manager in an office. The new building does have nice group/meeting rooms. Also, a decent facility in Long Beach CA (formerly PanAmSat) - though becoming a bit outdated over the last ~20 years.
5 years ago, pay was OK.
Long Beach work environment is decent. Reasonable people to work with, unfortunately they often have to answer to the heavy bureaucracy of DC managers.
Management is fairly flexible with work hours, to accommodate traffic/commuting and appointments. Telecommuting is permitted if needed and pre-approved.
Tuition assistance available, but does not cover books and fees and is capped at around $5500/year. That is nowhere close to enough for a private school.
Some recognition does occur. New software application to allow for coworkers to "thank" cowkrers for a job well done. However, it may not directly translate to a monetary award. Old program was cash, the value of which was higher than the new awards program.Cons
Old company: Very few engineers under 40 years old, most are baby boomers approaching retirement. Almost none under 30, and few under 40. Also, the culture has the highest level of bureaucracy that I have ever experienced.
Very little mobility: Promotions are VERY rare. Grading is based on a scaled from 1-5, and bell curved, with 3 being "satisfactory" performance.
Financial: More recently, raises are minimal and declining (2-3 percent, just over inflation I suppose). Bonuses have been on a steady decline over the last 3 years, last year was a mere 20% of what it was 2 or 3 years ago.
Tysons Corner Building: In the new building, engineers who used to have hard walled 10x10 offices are packed into 7x7 half height cubes. New policy implemented: only managers have hard walled offices now. It has been said the new building in Tysons is more like a call center than an office building. Cubes are so close that speakerphones are disabled.
Satellite Technology: Old and New, mostly old. Satellite communication is largely and older industry, and only the newly released Epic platform I would consider as "new". Though, only a small portion of the "worker bees" within the company are involved in the Epic platform. There is still some of the old "green screen" equipment, and a significant portion of the satellites are still controlled from what is a telnet terminal application.
Software Technology: The company disbanded the satellite software engineering team, and is instead contracting out to various vendors - which makes maintenance very difficult. Software maintenance is not valued, and often becomes stale and inflexible as a result. This is tough when the satellite has to last 20 years or so. SW maintenance responsibility was dumped on the satellite engineers a few years ago, most of which are not software savvy and have no desire to be. The workload for software engineers doubled or tripled because of that, and does not show any signs of changing.
Work Technical Environment: LOTS and LOTS of "band-aids", on an everyday basis. Control systems need a complete overhaul, and there are plenty of examples where there is an obvious lag behind the internet revolution of the late 90's / early 2000's is seen.
Work Social Environment: Occasionally (once or twice a year) the company sponsors a morale lunch. Once every 4 or 5 years, there may be a parking lot BBQ, which is appreciated. Most staff keep to themselves. Occasionally, new ideas backed by management - though only if they are "new" and not "changing" something else. Most are non-receptive to change... Unfortunately everyone is too busy working inefficiently to discuss how to work more efficiently.
Information Technology: IT is a mess after hacking concerns a few years ago. IT managers justify poorly functioning (or just plain non-functional) system solutions in the name of security. IT has many departments to work through: IT Architecture, IT Engineering, General IT Support, Information Security, Integration & Test, Networking & Telecom, etc... All who seem to jockey for control or recognition and are often out of touch with the needs of the end users. Don't get me wrong, they are trying - just not succeeding. Over the last few years, IT has consistently provided solutions to engineering teams that are fundamentally flawed. Instead of addressing the fundamental flaw, a "band-aid" or workaround is often suggested. There are lots of manuals constructed for workarounds, to give an idea of the number. If you are new to the company, bring a flash drive with you because you will often find it difficult or impossible to do your job without the "sneaker-net" solution.
Configuration Management: Exists only at a human process level, and small changes require the hand of many people and several departments - getting back to inefficiency again. In my opinion, the company is in dire need of some "new blood" who are software development and testing experts, and a decent industry standard configuration management solution. An intern was hired to implement SubVersion a few years ago, but left before it was complete. Intelsat needs much more than an intern.
Time Commitment: As a full time employee, the time commitment is substantial - often significantly more than 40-50 hours a week. Management often expects full time salaried personnel to work nights and weekends, in the name of the job. Sometimes, it is required, but they have never hired engineering staff to work nights and weekends. It is very easy to get burned out. On-call responsibilities are persistent throughout the night, and often interrupt sleep schedules.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Division of Responsibilities: I'd suggest separating Satellite Engineering from Software Engineering and Software Test. Sculpt job roles to personnel strengths.
Satellite Engineering: Consider hiring night and weekend engineering staff for "Around the Clock" coverage.
Information Technology: Needs significant refinement - increase quality deployments, decrease complete "makeover" architecture changes. Work with end users more closely, BEFORE architecting/deploying a new solution - as opposed to AFTER. ATAM process would be a good start. Stop deploying a new solution every 2 years and then expecting everyone to switch over like a light switch.
Pay: Keep with industry averages, not there right now - especially for California cost of living.
Workload: Listen. Many departments have needed additional staff for several years now.Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEO

Hey guys
Just a quick question, the local store had a sale and i got a brand spankin new synmat 7 m
Instructions said to let it self inflate for 24 hours. Which I did. But it didn't really inflate much.
The pump foam is nice and thick, but the mat only got about 1/8 -1/4 inch thick if that.
Is that normal, or was it packed too long?

Sacramento Bee columnist
DALLAS — The Kings are staying in Sacramento. Can we say that again? The Kings are staying in Sacramento.
In what would have been considered a major upset only four months ago, the Board of Governors looked hard at Seattle but did a double-take when evaluating Sacramento. Come again? They remembered almost three decades of good times — of sellout streaks and international appeal and impassioned crowds even when the team was terrible. They listened to members of the relocation committee and, yes, to their stubborn and respected and retiring commissioner. And ultimately, they envisioned a revived franchise with impressive new owners, a state-of-the-art arena, and an invigorated fan base.
It's true. It happened. Lightning struck, thunder rolled in, and tornado warnings were issued throughout the city known as Big D. But all that happened later in the evening. Earlier in the afternoon, while rain pelted the hotel where the league's owners convened to determine the Kings' future, the Sacramento entourage pitched a near-perfect storm of a presentation.
Mayor Kevin Johnson spoke about jobs and economic development and the community's commitment to his hometown's only major professional sports franchise. Vivek Ranadive put 100 percent of the counter-offer into escrow, and in another interesting turn of events, announced that one of the nation's largest swimwear manufacturers had joined his potential ownership group. Prominent local developer Mark Friedman, who later emotionally likened the Kings' journey to the book "The Little Engine That Could," convincingly addressed the issues involved with demolishing the Downtown Plaza and constructing a sports and entertainment complex by 2016.
"This is just an incredible day for Sacramento," added Mike Tavares, one of the dozen Kings fans who flew here and hung out in the hotel lobby while awaiting the outcome. "Nobody thought we could do it. With the community coming together, the politicians and the business leaders, and KJ pulling everybody in, it's a Hollywood story."
This was most significant: George Maloof also referred to the process as "fair" and said legal action was a non-starter.
Later, when asked why he never went public about a desire to sell to a local group, he said, "That's not the way I do business."
Finally there seems to be a graceful exit strategy. Get the deal done. Compromise and figure out something that works.
So who needs a Hollywood ending? A few more handshakes would be just fine.

Speeches by Israeli representatives
Israel statement on counterterrorism at the Security Council
19 Nov 2014
Countering incitement is one of the most effective counter-terrorism tools at our disposal. We must promote education that teaches peace instead of hate and tolerance instead of violence.
Amb Prosor: Second Committee adopts Entreprenuership for Development resolution
14 Nov 2014
Israel's Entrepreneurship for Development resolution was adopted by the UN Second Committee with 127 votes in favor and 102 co-sponsoring states. The resolution will promote growth, employment and development around the world.
Amb Prosor addresses Security Council Emergency Session on Jerusalem
29 Oct 2014
It says a great deal that the international community is outraged when Jews build homes in Jerusalem, but doesn't say a word when Jews are murdered for living in Jerusalem. Jerusalem is central to our identity and our tradition.
Amb Roet addresses UN Security Council on Women for Peace and Security
28 Oct 2014
Daesh is just one of the radical extremist groups that seek to subjugate women. There is Boko Haram in Nigeria, Al-Qaeda in Yemen, like-minded militias in Libya, Al Shabaab in East Africa, and Hamas in Gaza.
Amb Roet addresses UN Security Council on the Situation in the Middle East
21 Oct 2014
Prematurely recognizing a state of Palestine sends a message that Palestinians do not need to make hard choices and they might be undermining efforts to bring about a real and lasting change in our region.
Amb Prosor addresses UN Security Council on Ebola crisis
18 Sep 2014
Israel stands ready to join an international task force to combat the Ebola outbreak. In the meantime, we have sent emergency funding to Sierra Leone and medical supplies to Ethiopia, and experts in infectious diseases to Cameroon.
Statement on behalf of Israel to the HRC 27th Session
08 Sep 2014
What the latest Special Session failed to achieve is to point an accusing finger and name Hamas as the perpetrator of war crimes and gross violator of the human rights of the population under its control. In short, the Session was a travesty.
Amb Prosor addresses UN Security Council: Protection of Children in Armed Conflict
08 Sep 2014
Israel is committed to upholding international law and takes great measures to ensure the protection of civilians. In contrast, radical extremist groups like Hamas see no problem with using civilians and children to achieve their ends.
Amb Manor addresses the Human Rights Council
01 Sep 2014
The Human Rights Council must stand as a symbol for the repudiation of the gross violations of human rights committed by terrorist groups. Terrorism and its sponsors must be defeated.
Amb Prosor addresses special UN General Assembly session on Gaza
06 Aug 2014
To achieve sustained quiet in Israel and build a peaceful and prosperous Gaza, Hamas must be disarmed, Gaza must be demilitarized. And the international community must divorce itself from the romantic notion of Hamas as 'freedom fighters'.

Star Dispatches: Why the modern classroom is moving outside
Across Canada, children and their parents are exploring the benefits of outdoor learning. Andrea Gordon explores whether it's just a passing novelty or has real staying power.

Forest schools have long flourished in Scandinavia, Germany and Britain. They are places where children learn though free play, movement and hands-on experience in nature.
Now, Canada is exploring the benefits of outdoor learning. Sangster Elementary in Colwood, B.C., launched its joyous Nature Kindergarten last fall, and now outdoor preschools, kindergartens and primary programs are popping up throughout that province, as well as in Ontario and New Brunswick.
Why? Because there's mounting evidence that nature enhances children's health, learning and confidence while cutting down on behavioural issues.
VIDEO : A natural way to learn
INTERACTIVE: Check out the ever-growing Star Dispatches Library
In her new StarDispatches eRead Forest Kids: Why the Modern Classroom is Moving Outside , Star journalist Andrea Gordon conveys outdoor learners' engagement and sense of wonder, and probes the fascinating science of nature's effects on the brain and body of people young and old. But she also explores whether it's just a passing novelty or has real staying power.
Forest Kids is available NOW through StarDispatches.com .

Mayor Coleman Will Not Seek Fifth Term
In a surprise announcement, Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman said, Tuesday, he will not seek a fifth term. Coleman made the announcement alongside his cabinet and staff members and family and friends.
Republicans needed to pick up just six seats in Tuesday's midterm elections to wrest control of the Senate. In the House, the key question was how big the GOP majority would be next year.
Jereme Kent, the general manager of Findlay-based wind energy company One Energy, says delaying incoming renewable energy mandates will create a "lobbying frenzy" and scare away renewable energy investors.
An Ohio Senate committee is scheduled to vote Wednesday on the bill to lower the amount of training time required for a concealed weapons permit. It would also have Ohio recognize concealed carry permits from other states.
State lawmakers have approved a ban on electronic cigarettes for Ohio minors, but not without the objection of many Democrats, who say the ban doesn't go far enough.
A bipartisan panel of state lawmakers has signed off on the state's next two-year budget. It now goes to a final vote in the Ohio House and Senate.
State lawmakers are back in Columbus Monday for talks on the budget that includes a massive tax overhaul plan rolled out last week.
A bill that would install recommendations from a new Columbus education commission is getting first Statehouse hearing this afternoon.
The committee working out the differences between the House and Senate versions of the state budget now has updated estimates on tax revenues and Medicaid. Tax receipts are up and Medicaid costs are down, but those numbers come with a caution.
What is usually a routine vote to send the two versions of the state budget to a committee to meld it into one document turned out to be a lot more political than usual in the Ohio House Wednesday.
Ohio's Republican U.S. senator is demanding to know if any disciplinary action has been taken against IRS employees at the agency's Cincinnati office for targeting conservative groups.

I am extremeley pleased with my purchase of these tablecloths. The fabric is heavier than I expected for such an inexpensive price. The tables cloths washed very well, and came out of the dryer wrinkle-free! I will buy more of these table cloths in the future for my regular size dining room tables. Thank you for the quick delivery! I give your product a "thumbs up!" It is difficult to find this size in any stores............thank you!

North Country native named to highest reserve enlisted position in Coast Guard
During a change-of-the-watch ceremony at Coast Guard Station Washington, D.C., in May, Eric L. Johnson, the son of Jean and Bob Johnson of Lancaster, was named the sixth Coast Guard Reserve Force Master Chief (CGRF-MC) and the first from New Hampshire.
"I was actively involved in first aid and the local ambulance service, and I was intrigued by emergency services," said Johnson, thanks in large part to Marty Driscoll and Andy Buteau, his scoutmasters in Lancaster Boy Scout Troop 219. "As I started to see what the Coast Guard did, it also intrigued me and I wanted to be involved in it," Johnson said.
"By law, only one percent of anyone in the military can achieve the rank of E9," Johnson said, "and then they chose from the E9s so it was very competitive to make it to E9 and then to be selected among the E9s."

Ian and Erik are the hottest, leanest men that you're going to be seeing around, and they want to have a bit of messy action. You see, these guys are all about the creampies, and they're going to be working their mouths up and down those dicks until they get exactly what they want as far as the hardness level goes. Then it's time to plunge that cock deep inside of Erik's ass, making him gasp and scream and moan in pleasure, wanting it harder and faster until his ass is completely and utterly filled up with cream.

Gary Arrell, who sent his dramatic footage to UTV, said: "The sea was crashing over the wall and spray was higher than the houses opposite."
The road was later reopened.
Meanwhile in Co Antrim, the Glenariffe Road in Ballymena is now closed due to flooding.
A yellow warning has been valid throughout Friday morning and into the afternoon.
It looks like eastern parts will be worst affected, particularly along the coast where high tides and winds gusting 40-50mph could cause spray and over-topping of waves.
An estimated 20-30mm of rainfall is expected to accumulate in places, as a band of heavy rain sweeps much of the UK.
The Roads Service has urged motorists and pedestrians to take care, especially when on coastal roads and paths.

Canstar Community News - ONLINE EDITION
Brand-new memorial for Sgt. Tommy Prince
One of Canada's most decorated aboriginal soldiers will soon be honoured with a new memorial.
Thanks to local veteran Donald Mackey, Manitoba's Sgt. Tommy Prince will be remembered with a shiny new monument replacing the one at Sgt. Tommy Prince MM Veterans Park, which has been vandalized repeatedly in recent years.
Mackey has dedicated the past 16 years of his life to paying homage to Prince, while at the same time caring for his elderly wife and their daughter, both of whom have serious health problems.
Now, almost 81, the chairman of the Sgt. Tommy Prince MM Memorial Fund is looking to "wrap things up" so he can care for his family.
"It's been challenging," he says now. "I never thought I'd be spending 16 years doing this. But I'm proud of what I've done."
Mackey says a documentary about Prince, who is also said to be the great-great grandson of Chief Peguis, focused on his downward spiral into alcoholism after the war. The film spurred him into action. "I was angry. I knew him. I knew he was a damn good soldier."
Mackey started in 1997. A cadet corps was set up and named in Prince's honour. Murals were painted on Sgt. Tommy Prince Street. A park was dedicated to him at Battery Street and Selkirk Avenue. Displays were installed at Sgt. Tommy Prince School at Brokenhead First Nation, where Prince grew up, and at Sir Sam Steele Legion on Salter Street.
The new monument, crafted at Eden Memorials, "will have an actual picture of Tommy Prince, an engraved eagle, a dream catcher," Mackey said.
This newer tribute will be placed at Freight House, Door No. 1, at 200 Isabel St. where the No. 553 Sgt. Tommy Prince Cadet Corps is located.
A boulder with an engraved plaque will replace the old monument that was vandalized at Veterans Park. Mackey estimates that another $3,000 may be required for this.
At present, 12 boulders placed around a circular plaza at the park symbolize 12 warriors, and 12 trees behind them stand for each of Prince's medals, he says.
"The 13th boulder will represent Tommy Prince," Mackey adds.
Mackey hopes to have both monuments in place in September.
Prince served in the Second World War and in the Korean War, receiving many medals and honours, including being presented with the Military Medal from King George VI.
To donate, contact the Manitoba Indigenous Cultural Education Centre Inc., 119 Sutherland Ave., Winnipeg, MB, R2W 3C9. Tax receipts will be issued.

StumbleUpon Acquired By eBay: "Just Rumors," Says Founder
The blogosphere is abuzz with rumors that eBay is acquiring StumbleUpon, but they're "just rumors," Garrett Camp, one of StumbleUpon's founders just told me on the phone. "There have been rumors before and that's what they are now," Camp said.
Of course, if the company is in play, Camp would likely be bound by non-disclosure agreements, so the rumors could possibly turn out to have some merit. We'll follow the story and report any further details if and when they are confirmed.
Meanwhile, it's interesting reading the speculation about why eBay, a vast auction site, would be interested in acquiring a comparatively small, selective web search service (more about StumbleUpon and how it works in my Q&A With Garrett Camp, Founder & Chief Architect, StumbleUpon).
Michael Arrington over at TechCrunch with eBay Acquiring StumbleUpon offers a bit of background on the rumors, which have been going on since November (he says Google and AOL are also potential suitors), and Om Malik speculates that StumbleUpon might be a credible competitor to Google if integrated into the eBay's Skype client in his Why eBay wants Stumbleupon post.

PALMS FRAME a romantic view of the Avalon harbor on Catalina Island. .
(photo credit:GEORGE MEDOVOY)
AVALON, CATALINA ISLAND – This lovely island is just ashort cruise from busy Los Angeles, but you'd think you were really miles and miles away.My first glimpse of Catalina came as our Catalina Express vessel entered Avalon Bay and we passed the iconic Catalina Casino at the water's edge.Avalon itself is an intimate place, one square mile in size with a population of about 3,700 people, surrounded on one side by the clear blue waters of the bay and on the other by rugged hillsides with spectacular ocean views.Once off the boat, we circled the bay on foot to Crescent Avenue, the town's small, main artery, which is filled with shops and cafes by the water.Since the early part of the 20th century, members of the Rhodes Jewish community of Los Angeles have made the crossing every summer to Catalina Island, which they see as an image of their ancestral home off the coast of Turkey.Aron Hasson, a Los Angeles attorney who established the Jewish Museum of Rhodes at the Kahal Shalom Synagogue on Rhodes, remembers visiting Catalina every summer with his family when he was growing up. His four grandparents were born on Rhodes and immigrated to Los Angeles between 1912 and 1920.Catalina Island held out a special kind of attraction for the Rhodes immigrants, he said, since "the island is situated 26 miles away from the Los Angeles mainland, and Rhodes is about 26 miles away from the Turkish mainland."But beyond the comparison with Rhodes, it's easy to understand why anyone would be drawn here: the island is quite simply magical, giving you a feeling of having discovered some far-away land.In reality, of course, you're only a little more than an hour away from Los Angeles, now but a hazy smudge on the horizon.As my wife and I sailed into Avalon harbor from Long Beach, I thought about those early vacationers, whose distinctive Ladino sounds could be heard as they shared traditional Sephardic foods in Avalon.During the Big Band era, they could gather on the top floor of the casino to hear music greats like Jimmy Dorsey, Woody Herman, and Harry James.That bygone casino is still very much a living place, just a short walk from the new Descanso Beach cabanas. A "Discover the Casino Tour" is offered by the Santa Catalina Island Company and gives an introduction to the casino, which has a museum, an overhanging balcony, and a 25-foot lantern cupola above a tiled roof.In the tour,"visitors can also see the editing room where Cecil B. DeMille himself watched "rushes" of movies shot on the island.Movie-making here goes back to the silent film era with films like Treasure Island, shot in 1918. As a matter of fact, Hollywood liked Catalina so much as a South Seas setting that it planted palm trees at the Isthmus near Two Harbors on the northern part of the island. These trees are still seen today.When sound came to film, the island continued to be a popular movie venue, and it was turned into Tahiti with productions like Mutiny on the Bounty with Charles Laughton and Clarke Gable in 1935. More recently, aerial scenes for Pearl Harbor were shot here, as were scenes from The Hunt for Red October and Rosemary's Baby.You can still watch movies in the Casino's Avalon Theatre, which also has the original 4-manual, 16-rank pipe organ, built by the Page Pipe Organ Company of Lima, Ohio, and played every Friday and Saturday evening.Today, Catalina is opening up a new chapter in its storied history, this one connected to wine, thanks to Alison Wrigley Rusack and her husband Geoff.The Wrigley name is synonymous with Catalina Island. William Wrigley Jr. devoted so much loving attention to preserving and improving the island. Wrigley's name is also synonymous with the chewing gum empire he created as well as with the Chicago Cubs baseball team, which he would bring to the island for spring training.Wrigley's wife, Ada, for whom the island's Mt. Ada is named, built a memorial to her husband surrounded by a botanical garden, now managed by the Catalina Conservancy.Rusack said she would love to have known her great-grandfather "because he did so much and he had such personality."Back in 1983, Rusack and her husband went horseback riding on the island and Geoff remarked that the hills would be a great place to plant grapes.They "didn't know the slightest thing about running a vineyard and winery at that point," Rusack admitted, but they purchased an old winery in 1992. "We knew we'd regret it if we didn't try," she said.They planted Zinfandel grapes along with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in March of 2007 at El Rancho Escondido, an old horse ranch in Catalina's beautiful interior, where Rusack's grandfather, Phillip K.Wrigley, raised Arabian horses.The soil at the ranch is actually better suited to growing Burgundy varietals of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, rather than the warmer-climate Zinfandel, Rusack said, "But it's made a wonderful Zinfandel," she added of the first harvest under the Rusack Santa Catalina Island Vineyards label, "and it has a totally different type of taste than other Zins… more earthy and less fruity" The Rusack Vineyards in California's Santa Ynez Valley is quite successful today, and according to Rusack, known primarily for "the incredible Rhone varietals that we're able to grow in the Ballard Canyon area."So much about the new Catalina Island wines is unconventional, not the least of which is the way the grapes get to the Rusack winery in the Santa Ynez Valley: they're harvested at night and flown to Santa Ynez Airport on the mainland.The Rusacks also have plans for restoring the old horse ranch and "keeping all the wonderful historical elements.""It was built a long time ago and it hasn't really ever been completely restored," she said. Plans include having space for tasting rooms and wine storage, all the while keeping the "old, wonderful California feel," like the historic stage coaches her family owned.The Rusacks work closely with the Catalina Island Company to take things "to a new level" and bring back a new golden era, like the newly-added zip line adventure and the biofuel hummer tours, the Descanso Beach Club, and the addition of new restaurants.One of the best ways to sample the wonderful simplicity and romantic feel of the island is a leisurely walk down Crescent Avenue, which is what we did after checking into the Casa Mariquita Hotel on nearby Metropole Avenue.What you notice as soon as you land on the island is the scarcity of gasoline-powered autos, and for good reason: the idea is to keep the number of cars down to a bare minimum.In fact, if a local wants to bring a car here, there's a 15-year waiting list, and if you do have a gas-powered car, well, the cost of filling up was a little over $7 a gallon at the island's only gas station during our visit. So how do people get around on the island? Mainly by electric golf carts, which seem to be everywhere in Avalon.While checking out Crescent Avenue, we stopped at CC Gallagher, which was displaying the Rusack Catalina wine. The shop has hot espresso in the morning along with pastries and a daytime menu including sandwiches, focaccia bread, vegetarian soups, and wines, while the evening menu offers sushi, sake and beer.At the Avalon Grille, one finds American cuisine and regional dishes, along with wines, micro-brew beers and specialty cocktails, breakfast Saturday and Sunday, and all in a pleasant wicker setting.One afternoon, we sampled happy hour at the Bluewater Avalon restaurant, with small plates of tasty grilled fish tacos and garlic fries, all served with some really pleasant ambiance.The Avalon Scenic Drive, an hour bus tour given by the Catalina Island Company, afforded a wonderful view of the bay from the hills surrounding Avalon.The company offers a wide range of other tours, too, including golfing, a sundown isthmus cruise, a flying fish voyage, and a tour to Two Harbors with dining, swimming and shopping."It is a magical place," Rusack said of Catalina Island. "It's hard to describe what it is… It just has this beautiful, old historical, natural feel to it where you can do exciting things like the zip line, you can do relaxing things and sit on the beach, or you can go and experience nature and learn about things or hike or bike."It's a wonderful combination of things, and we're working constantly with everybody – the conservancy and the island company – to make sure it stays that way."

From ESPN.com:
Pete Carroll has reached agreement with the Seahawks on a deal to be their next head coach, multiple NFL sources confirmed early Saturday morning.
Carroll was fully expected to be introduced by the Seahawks as early as Monday, assuming they comply with the Rooney Rule this weekend.
The hangup could be locating a candidate to interview that would put the Seahawks in compliance with the rule, which requires teams to interview a minority candidate for head-coaching hires.
On Friday, Jim Mora became the first Seahawks coach to be let go after one season.
Vikings defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier could agree to interview, but he is unwilling to do so if Carroll has been promised full control of the Seahawks -- and multiple sources say he has.
Seahawks CEO Tod Leiweke told Frazier that Carroll definitely does not have Seattle's job.
Believing Leiweke, Frazier will interview for the Seahawks head coach job Saturday morning.
Seattle also contacted the agent for Chargers defensive coordinator Ron Rivera, but as of Saturday morning nothing had been set up.
But the bottom line is, Carroll's agreement with Seattle is "100 percent done," one NFL source close to the situation said.

Used-car demand plays out at Columbus Fair Auto Auction
Send this to a friend
- Dan Eaton
Keith Whann calls auto auctions the stock market for used vehicles.
If that's the case, then it's a bull market.
With car makers and dealers squeezed by tumbling new-car sales, auto auctions – an intermediate stop for many used cars on the way to dealer lots – survive on a precarious balance. The lack of new-car sales reduces the supply of trade-ins consigned to auctions. But the economy has kept demand for used cars healthy.
"We want them selling as many new cars as possible," said Whann, CEO of Columbus Fair Auto Auction Inc. "We want them turning inventory."
Although new cars aren't being sold as fast as they once were, Columbus Fair is dealing with rising demand for used cars that is driving up auction prices. It stays stocked partially with vehicles picked up through expired fleet leases and repossessions.
Tom Webb, chief economist for Atlanta-based Manheim Consulting, the nation's largest auto auction company, said in an April 7 call with industry followers that wholesale vehicle prices were up 8.3 percent through the first quarter of 2009 from a year earlier. He said used-car sales were up for the second consecutive month in March at franchised dealerships, and independent dealers saw their first positive used-car sales in 21 months.
Selling for others
Whann said Columbus Fair is bringing in about 11,000 vehicles a month to its facilities on Groveport Road and New World Drive in southern Franklin County. The volume is about the same as a year ago, he said, but now 70 percent of the vehicles are being sold, the highest conversion rate in years.
Auctions are held Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Customers are predominately dealers, except for a weekly Tuesday auction of repossessed vehicles, which Ohio law makes open to the public.
