I plan to make the OBD2 adapter a more permanent installation in my car, but seeing that I have the Bluetooth version of the adapter I was not too happy about the security. Before keeping it plugged in permanently I want to make sure it's safe. If you see enough Defcon and C3 talks, anything wireless will make you paranoid.
First gigantic problem is that there is no pairing password. Yep, you just plug it in and you can start Torque and direct it towards the device and without as much as a confirmation, the app starts displaying real-time data. This is a rather huge problem if I'm not connected as it means anyone else can just connect to the device without any authentication. Now if the stream is encrypted or not is something that I've not looked into.
Fortunately, like all other bluetooth devices, once the OBD2 adapter has established an active connection to a device (be it a phone, or a PC) other devices cannot connect to it. It's not a big deal but it's something I guess. In my opinion, it would be reasonably safe (against basic intrusion) to put the adapter into non-discoverable mode if a device did not establish a connection to it with say, 60 to 90 seconds. It should also go into non-discoverable mode when a device establishes a successful connection as well. This would drastically reduce the attack window to the first minutes of power up.
Another worrying issue is that the range on a seemingly cheap device is quite large. I was able to achieve a stable connection all around the car and it only started breaking when I went a bit more than 5 meters away on the passengers side, which would imply that it indeed has an approximate range of 8-10 meters and the fact that the adapter is placed deeply in a recessed part of a large metallic box is doing nothing to attenuate the signal.
I have not even checked if the adapter draws power when the car is turned off.
So, for now, I must say that the situation is not looking good. It seems to be not just highly but completely insecure to have a bluetooth based OBD2 adapter permanently plugged into the car. I don't know how good the wifi adapters are. If nothing, a wired adapter might be my only option.

Gateshead 1-2 Tamworth
Ten-man Gateshead conceded a last minute goal to crash out of the FA Cup after an eventful afternoon on Tyneside.
Trailing to Francino Francis's goal on the half hour The Heed were left with a mountain to climb when left back Chris Carruthers was sent off just before the break.
Keiron St Aimie's spot kick was well saved by Jak Alnwick, at fault for The Lambs opener, and ten-man Gateshead rallied to level on the hour through Nathan Fisher.
Another Alnwick error from a corner, however, denied a spirited Gateshead a replay in the Midlands as the long wait to reach the 3rd round of the FA Cup goes on.
The Tynesiders opened brightly with Jon Shaw looping a header over the bar and Chris Moore advancing into the box without picking out the final pass.
Danny Mills then slipped in St.Aimie at the other end but his low cross from the byline was beaten away by Alnwick at his near post.
Shaw then broke out of defence to find Moore on the left. The wide man cut inside to hit a 24 yard shot straight at Jonathon Hedge.
Moore was then inches over the bar with another shot from outside the box as Tamworth got men behind the ball while becoming more influential on the break.
The Lambs took the lead on the half hour when Sam Habergham's accurate corner saw an under pressure Alnwick drop the ball underneath the bar in a packed area.
Francino Francis tapped home from virtually on the line, Alnwick then saving from Mills with Danny Thomas putting the rebound over the bar.
Moore had a shot deflected wide and then Fisher flashed a centre across goal before Tamworth then had the chance to put the tie to bed.
St.Aimie got goalside of Carruthers following a lob into the box and was pulled back by the Heed defender who was promptly red carded.
Alnwick made a flying save from At Aimie's spot kick and then the unmarked Mills put a back post free header over the bar when he should have scored.
Ten-man Gateshead were still in it and they hit back after the break when they found more space than they had in the opening 45 minutes.
Tamworth, however, had further chances with Ben Clark slipping as Paul Green's cross found St.Aimie only for Alnwick to make a fine block.
Kris Gate then had to head clear off the line, Clark off target from 25 yards as a gallant Gateshead refused to lie down.
They were back in it on 62 minutes when Fisher took Eddie Odhiambo's inside ball to superbly turn his marker and slide the ball home off the inside of the post.
Only a brilliant Alnwick reflex save from Patterson's close range volley prevented The Lambs from regaining the lead in an absorbing second half.
Clark's header from beyond the back post from Sam Rents' cross was clawed clear by Hedge while Moore burst into the box before going down under a challenge.
Gateshead were pressing for the winner but Tamworth remained a threat on the counter attack.
A heavy back pass from James Curtis put Alnwick in trouble and when the ball finally broke to St Aimie only a vital challenge from Rents saved the day.
Fisher had a 25 yard shot deflected wide while Richard Tait had a shot deflected into the side netting as play swung from end to end.
With a replay looming there was one last twist - and it proved to be a fatal one for The Heed.
Green swung a high corner into the box and as the ball drifted in on the wind Alnwick failed to gather at the back post and Patterson lashed home the close range winner.
It was the third consecutive FA Cup tie that Tamworth had scored a vital game changing last minute goal, a late show that left Gateshead with no time to hit back for a second time.

In a letter posted on LSU's athletic website Wednesday, athletic director Joe Alleva apologized for the decision to edit crosses painted on a group of LSU students out of a recent promotional photo the university sent out.
The altered photo of the "Painted Posse" made national headlines and has earned widespread criticism for LSU. Each of the four young men in the photo had their bodies painted yellow with a purple cross painted near their left shoulders that was edited out.
Alleva said the university would not attempt to edit photos in a similar fashion in the future.
Here is the text of Alleva's letter regarding the photograph:
"On occasion after a football game, we will send out a promotional email to fans asking for feedback on their experience in Tiger Stadium. LSU recently gained media attention for a photo that accompanied one of those promotional emails sent after the South Carolina game.
"A photo was used of a group of young men called the "Painted Posse." They paint themselves purple and gold and play a significant role in the energy in the student section. They also paint crosses on their shoulders as an expression of their religious beliefs.
"As a public institution, we are careful not to imply endorsement of any particular religious belief, but a mistake was made in editing the crosses out of the photo before sending it out as part of the promotional photo.
"We apologize for making this edit and in the future we will not make this kind of edit. This was an error in judgment and we have communicated our apologies to the group of young men represented in the photo whose school spirit is second to none."
Members of the Painted Posse issued a statement Tuesday asking that people wear crosses Nov. 3, the date of the LSU-Alabama game, though the statement does not specifically ask people to wear crosses to the game.
Alleva's letter also urges fans to arrive early on campus and to carpool when possible for the Alabama game, and that LSU will continue to fight for what is "best for LSU" in terms of football scheduling.
On Oct. 18 the SEC released its 2013 football schedule, which for LSU includes a road game at Georgia and a home game against Florida, the Tigers' permanent SEC East opponent. Meanwhile Alabama, which is again likely to be LSU's chief rival in the SEC West, hosts Tennessee and plays at Kentucky, teams that are currently a combined 0-9 in SEC play.
"We don't know what SEC scheduling will look like from 2014 and beyond," Alleva said. "LSU will always fight for what is best for LSU, but ultimately we are but one vote among 14 in determining what is best for the SEC."

How can you be a knockout like Mario Lopez?
Hot Hollywood types, like this dimpled delight, get their sweat on in the ring. Celebrity trainer Holly Mosier (www.followholly.com) details how it's done IN 15-MINUTES
Minute 1-3: Jump Rope
"Let's jump in by jumping rope!" Holly enthuses. "It's my go-to warm up drill."
If you don't have a jump rope, you can mime the movement by circling your hands and hopping foot to foot.
Holly tells me she loves this simple exercise because "It's an all-over body warm up that quickly gets your legs, core and upper body ready for serious action."
Begin slowly; increase your speed and intensity as your body begins to warm up.
1 Minute "Abs Knockout": Plank
"Bathing suit season is here," Holly reminds us.
Gaah! We have limited time, people!
"We need something fast and wickedly effective to get those abs looking hot!" Holly adds: "I think the most efficient and effective abdominal exercise is Plank. It also strengthens and tones the entire core, including your back and hips. Plank will also warm up your shoulders and arms for the next round."
Here's how-to plank:
- Come to your hands and knees in "table top" position.
- Press into your palms and lift your knees so your weight is resting on your palms and toes (push up position).
- Keep your body in a straight line, like a "plank" of wood.
- Hold for 1 minute. (If you can't hold this position for the full minute, drop your knees to the floor for a brief break then lift again. Keep your eyes on the floor & don't sad in the middle)
*Ding-Ding* there's the bell -- in 4 minutes flat, you're warmed up and ready to go. Now it's time for the smack down!
Minute 5-7: Shadow Boxing
"Shadow boxing rocks for carving sinewy core, shoulder and arm muscles," Holly says. "I'll take it over lifting weights any day!"
1) Hold 1-pound hand weights and come into a boxing stance by bending your elbows with the weights near your face, firming your core with your knees slightly bent.
2) Start with a jab (short punch with your left hand), then immediately follow with a cross (punch with your right hand).
3) Get your rhythm down by twisting at your waist as you throw the jab and cross evenly, one after the other with no stopping in between.
4) Make sure to keep your core tight.
5) After you're comfortable with the rhythm, speed it up but keep the movements even and controlled.
1 Minute "Abs Knockout": Side Plank -- Right
"We want all the ab muscles to dazzle," Holly rightfully notes. "Side Planks will deliver by developing sexy obliques to frame that six-pack by giving definition to the sides of your abdomen."
1) Come into Plank
2) Roll your weight onto your right hand and the side of your right foot, opening your torso to the left.
3) Lift the left hand toward the ceiling.
4) Keep your body in a straight line.
5) Hold for 1 minute (To make this easier, you can bring your knee to the floor)
Now it's time to give our opponent (a.k.a. evil body fat) the "slip"!
Minute 9-11: Slips
"We can't forget the bottom half of your body!" Holly says. "Adding slips with shadow boxing sculpts the butt and thighs, so you can rock those summer shorts."
- Hold 1-pound hand weights and come into a boxing stance.
- Keeping the feet hip distance apart, "slip" from side to side, as if dodging a punch.
- Keep your back straight and perform the "slip" by bending at your knees (not at the waist).
- As you slip to the right, rotate your torso so your left shoulder points in front of you.
- As you slip to the left, rotate so your right shoulder points in front of you.
- Keep slipping from side to side without stopping and increase your speed as you get your rhythm down.
- Once you have your rhythm, up the intensity by adding punches.
- As you slip to the right, throw a left jab (this will make sense to you as you do it because your left shoulder will be moving forward as you slip to the right).
- As you slip to the left, throw a right cross.
- Keep the core firm and keep it going: You ought to be sweating if you're doing it right!
1 Minute "Abs Knockout": Side Planks
"Whatever we do on the right, we do on the left so we get a balanced effect," Holly tells me. You got it, coach!
1) Come into Plank by rolling your weight onto your left hand and the side of your left foot, opening your torso to the right
2) Lift the right hand toward the ceiling
3) Keep your body in a straight line. Hold for one minute.
By now, the routine is in full swing. When you get your body moving, don't stop the motion! Rather than wind down at the end, if you really want each and every workout to fully maximize your fat-burning and muscle-building potential, then kick it into HIGH GEAR. This is the final round, so it's time to do some damage!
Minute 13-15: Jump Rope
"We're in the final round, which will put the finishing touches on that beach-ready body," Holly assures me. I'm too sweaty to argue.
"Jumping rope is a cardio bomb that blasts calories to chisel away the flab exposing those wonderful sexy, sinewy muscles!"
If you don't have a jump rope, you can mime the movement by circling your hands and hopping foot to foot.
"You're all warmed up, so there's no need to start slowly," Holly reminds us. "Hit it hard and fast and go for the final calorie blast!"
Combine this boxing body blast with your regular routine and you'll be a Hollywood knockout in no time!

Tutor Support
Helping you be your best.
The success, development, and retention of volunteer tutors are very important to the Literacy Council. In addition to our accredited training program, we support tutors in several ways described below.
Tutor Mentor Program
We are fortunate to have several experienced tutors who serve as mentors for our newer tutors. These mentors help new tutors assimilate into their roles by:
Coaching by the Program Director
One of the main priorities of our Adult Education and ESOL Program Directors is to ensure that tutors feel successful and rewarded for their efforts. Program Directors are always available for individual appointments with tutors to help them with lesson plans, materials selections, and instruction techniques. They are a valuable resource to help tutors understand the life challenges many students face and to improve communication. Tutors also benefit from observation and feedback by the Program Directors.
In-Service Training
About once a month, Program Directors hold in-service training for tutors. This is a small group gathering that focuses on a specific topic of interest, such as Interactive Teaching Techniques or Teaching Pronunciation. These sessions help tutors expand their subject area knowledge and teaching skills.
In-service training is also a great opportunity for tutors to share their challenges and successes, swap ideas, and stock up on new teaching materials. It's a collaborative session, a time to get to know your fellow tutors, and an opportunity to recharge and rededicate yourself to this vitally important volunteer effort.
Online Training
The Literacy Council recommends that tutors take several online courses to supplement our internal training. These optional courses are:

NEW ORLEANS - Despite almost postponing Saturday's season-opening dual tennis match, the Tulane men's tennis team took to the courts and defeated cross-town foe Xavier, 6-1, at the City Park Pepsi Tennis Center.
The Green Wave (1-0) had gotten word on Friday night that Xavier might have to postpone the match, but the match was able to be played as scheduled.
Tulane took care of the doubles point easily, winning on courts one and two. The duo of Idan Mark and Dominik Koepfer defeated Loic Didavi and Nikita Soifer, 8-2, on court one, while Rodrigo Rappaccioli and Alex Van Cott upended Viktor Svoboda and Benjamin Brading, 8-2, on court two.
"The guys came out today with great energy in singles and doubles and it helped us get a good jump on them. I like how they took care of business today against a very solid opponent," Tulane head coach Mark Booras said.
Tulane won on courts one, three and four in singles. Mark posted a 6-1, 6-1, victory over Didavi on court one. Rappaccioli earned a 6-0, 6-1, win over Svoboda and court three and Koepfer got past Brading, 6-0, 6-1, on count four.
Alex and Ian Van Cott won via walk overs on court five and six.
The Green Wave will host New Orleans at 1 p.m. CT at City Park.
"Tomorrow will be a very tough test for us," Booras added. "UNO's program has developed into a nationally ranked caliber type of program since we played them three years ago and I'm expecting a very tough battle. I am glad we are able to have such a high level of competition in two solid teams this weekend right in our backyard."

I.N.C. International Concepts cotton pantThese flat-front, off-white pants from I.N.C. International Concepts are sophisticated enough to wear for a night out, but relaxed enough to wear to the office or on the weekend, and they capture Brad's laid-back elegance perfectly. Made from cotton, these pants are supremely comfortable, and an added touch of spandex gives you enhanced mobility.
They're also easy to clean since you can throw them straight into the machine. So make like Brad and take these pants traveling with you.
With a white-linen shirt and some sandals, these are perfect for strolling along an upscale boardwalk in a hot climate, and in the city, teaming these pants with a dress shirt and some oxfords will have you work-ready in no time.
Perry Ellis sunglassesPolish off your uber-cool ensemble with some tinted sunglasses. The gold trim on this pair from Perry Ellis will draw attention to your face and let you work your charms so you can hit the jackpot. Tinted lenses will also make it easier for you to scope out the scene and hone in on hotties without anyone else being the wiser. Fortunately, these modified aviators only have the look of a posh pair of shades, but not the exorbitant price tag. They'll look best paired with warm earth tones like the ones in Brad's outfit, but a navy blue blazer or a light-pink dress shirt would complement these glasses nicely too. For a really hot summer look that will also keep you cool, wear these sunglasses with head-to-toe white and some sleek, slide-on, tan-colored sandals.
get brad's cool-casual lookTo complete your transformation into a style-savvy woman magnet, go for gold and swipe Brad's Ocean's 13 hairstyle. Run a dime-sized amount of gel through your hair and comb the front part of your hair off to one side, making sure the pieces stick out a bit. Finally, to get Brad's not-trying-too-hard look, muss up the back and sides of your hair ever so slightly.
The stakes may be high but the payoff is big in Ocean's 13, and after stealing Brad Pitt's smokin' hot style, it's a safe bet that you'll be getting lucky at more than just the blackjack table.

Foster the People's Latest
March 25, 2014
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Foster the People, an indie pop/rock band from LA, officially released Supermodel last week, their second album three years after debut Torches. Both Torches and the popular track, "Pumped Up Kicks" received Grammy nominations in 2011, leading many to speculate what the band would release in the future.
Several singles preceded the album's release, including catchy "Coming of Age" in January and "Pseudologia Fantastica" in February. Both support the album as a concept album, one whose songs 'express a particular theme or idea.' According to several sources, Supermodel's is that of the 'pitfalls of capitalism' and consumerism, and on a more personal note, self-discovery.
Self-identity is certainly a unifying idea of the album: the recurring line in the chorus of "Ask Yourself" 'is this the life you've been waiting for?' underlines the song's address to someone who has fallen short of their goals. Similarly, "Are You What You Want to Be?" also highlights the pressures of society's labels: '[you] stick them onto everything…I gotta keep myself free.' Both present relatable ideas and emotions, reaching the listener on a personal level.
But viewing the album as a collective unit, as a concept album, the 'you' in most of the tracks can stand for society as a whole and not just an individual, as Foster's lyrics question the major flaws of modern capitalism. This provides a fresh perspective on lyrics that could also appear merely aimed at people on a personal level.
In this album, Foster the People has moved away from the fast-paced electronic beats of songs from Torches such as "Helena Beat" and "Pumped Up Kicks." Instead Supermodel is more guitar-based, especially "A Beginner's Guide to Destroying the Moon" whose riffs amplify Foster as he sings of society's reliance on those in power. Yet the album is not completely different: "Best Friend" is reminiscent of those previous Torches tracks with its sing-songy, catchy chorus.
While it is indeed a concept album- tracks clearly highlight society's unhealthy tendencies- those messages are not delivered in a one-dimensional fashion: "Goats in Trees" provides a relief from other loud, guitar-heavy songs with its slower, acoustic feel.
Some songs attempted to combine both into one and did so successfully; sadly "The Truth" didn't achieve this balance. Its high-pitched chorus punctuated what was otherwise a slower song with almost preachy lyrics. Yet as one of the only flaws of a decent album, the track didn't do much to hinder the album's overall success.
Foster's lyrics are definitely darker than the majority of songs from Torches:
In "A Beginner's Guide to Destroying the Moon," the song states:
You'll never be whole…
Until you lose control.
And stop drinking the wine
That's been dripping from lips
Of the gluttons
And envying their bloody teeth…
These more serious lyrics accompany the previously mentioned guitar.
Overall, Foster the People's change in sound from Torches (2011) with its fast-paced tunes punctuated with electronic effects to more of a guitar-based rock feel reveal the band's ability to adapt and grow: keeping their own sound without losing their catchiness. The use of a concept album and its accompanying theme unifies a variety of songs under one unique message.
Supermodel: 17/20

Watching "Catch .44" I couldn't help but make a list of things it riffs from Quentin Tarantino movies. That is not necessarily a bad thing since Tarantino notoriously steals from every movie he has ever seen. He gets away with it because he actually does something creative and original with what he steals. Unfortunately writer and director Aaron Harvey took some interesting elements commonly found in Tarantino's work but didn't do much with it.
See if this sounds familiar: a group of characters, whose names are eventually introduced in big bright yellow letters, are at diner discussing day-to-day topics. They are not discussing if they should tip the waitress but they might as well be. Eventually the conversation is interrupted by an outburst of bloody violence, followed by many, many flashbacks explaining how they got in this jam in the first place.
The three characters in question are Tes (Malin Akerman), Kara (Nikki Reed), and Dawn (Deborah Ann Woll). They work in some capacity for Mel (Brue Willis), a sleazy drug kingpin with a penchant for eating peacans. Tes is the leader of the trio and dutifully accepts her next assignment, which consists of intercepting a transaction in the middle of nowhere in the dead of night. There are many details involved, but suffice to say a large bag of money is involved and the three armed women will do everything they have must to get their hands on it even if the whole thing reeks of a set up.
Also making his way towards the same diner is Ronny (Forest Whitaker), a deranged killer with a thick Spanish accent. Once he arrives at his destination you have the inevitable Mexican standoff, during which the characters, including a shotgun totting Shea Whigham, discuss their options. In fact the discussions eventually overstay their welcome. At one point one character does that thing when he counts down to when he will finally pull the trigger, but since nothing happens he actually asks if he should start counting down again. How about you just bite already instead of barking all day little doggie?
This is one of those films where I am guessing the actors had a lot of fun making the movie given they get to shoot guns, curse, say semi-clever dialogue, and get to work with some great fellow actors. Bruce Willis gets to stretch a bit by playing a weird tough guy with facial hair reminiscent of Billy Bob Thornton, and there is a humorous jab at his brief musical career.
The highlight of "Catch .44" is seeing beautiful women involved in a bloody shootout while great music is playing in the background. You just wish once the music stops playing they had more interesting things to say and do.
("Catch .44" is available on DVD and Blu-Ray and is streaming on Netflix.)

Jerry Palm of CBS Sports released his new NCAA tournament projections on Thursday. It's easy to notice the major changes at the top of the bracket. More importantly, teams seem to be making bigger jumps than usual. Of course, for every upgraded team, there has to be a team falling in the projected seeds.
Kansas Jayhawks stay at No.2 Seed.
Biggest Risers:
Louisville has been all over the seed lines these past couple of weeks. Shockingly, the defending champion was sitting at No. 6 seed entering their road test at SMU. After a nice double digit victory, Louisville moved up three lines to a No. 3 seed. With one game and a conference tournament left, Louisville could be in line for the fourth No.1 seed. If that happens, the Cardinals swept the regular season and tournament title.
Colorado moved up to a No.9 seed. The Buffalos are still on the bubble, but they had a great road win at Stanford. They have one more chance to get a big win against California on the road. It's not only a PAC-12 battle, it's a battle to make the tournament.
Kansas State moved up one seed line to No.9, but Jerry Palm doesn't have them as a bubble team. When the Wildcats take the court on Saturday it will be their last chance to make an impression. It's almost a must win for Kansas State.
Dayton also moved up one seed line. They've been removed from the first round game in Dayton to an 11 seed. Their huge win over St. Louis might be what they needed to secure their NCAA berth.
The Nebraska Cornhuskers are now one of the first four teams according to Jerry Palm. The Huskers knocked off Indiana for the second time to complete the sweep. Nebraska is currently in fourth place in the Big 10. They aren't a lock but a final win over Wisconsin will go a long way to securing that bid.
Biggest Falls:
Duke had a chance to battle for the top seed in the tournament, but their loss to Wake Forest now has the Blue Devils projected as No. 5 seed. They still have to play North Carolina in the ACC finale.
Saint Louis has continued to slide. Their third consecutive loss now has the Billikens at a No. 6 seed. They still lead the Atlantic 10, but if they don't win the conference tournament, there's no telling where Saint Louis could fall to.
Stanford also dropped two spots after their loss to Colorado. Not only are the seeds close, but the games are close. Stanford was a possession away from winning. Instead, they've gone from a No.8 to a No. 10. The whole PAC-12 battle will be amazing until selection Sunday
SMU also dropped a seed line to No. 10. They aren't a lock to make the tournament, but everything about this team says they are "March Madness" worthy.
Saint Joseph's ended a six game winning streak with a loss to George Washington. That was enough to drop the Hawks to a 10 seed.
Last Four In: Xavier, Providence, Missouri, Nebraska.
Last Four Out: Minnesota, Tennessee, Georgetown, California.

PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (Persero) is Indonesia's state-owned power utility. The company transmits and distributes electricity to almost 50 million residential, commercial, and industrial customers. Its 32,900 MW of generation capacity comes from its own power plants and is supplemented by independent power producers. The Indonesian government has ended Persero's power-supply monopoly to spark interest among independents to build more capacity for sale directly to consumers. The move is seen as a measure to address the power shortages that many areas of the country experience.

The holiday season, filled with open houses, family gatherings, shopping excursions, and an abundance of food and drink, tends to disrupt routine activities, including healthy eating and particularly healthy snacking.
"The South Beach Diet is a lifestyle that works 365 days of the year," says Dr. Arthur Agatston, author of The South Beach Diet Supercharged and more recently, The South Beach Diet Wake-Up Call. "The trick during the holidays is to not only eat three healthy meals based on lean protein, nutrient-dense fruits and vegetables, fiber-rich whole grains, and low-fat dairy — but also to make sure you work in your protein- and fiber-rich mid-morning and mid-afternoon snacks, which will help you keep your cravings under control."
Of course, it's easier if your kitchen is stocked with healthy snacks. Here are a few items you should keep around during the holiday season (and throughout the year) to help keep you on track:
For Phase 1:
- Edamame
- Hard-boiled eggs
- Fat-free or low-fat cottage cheese
- Plain nonfat or low-fat yogurt, including 0% Greek yogurt
- Fresh vegetables
- Hummus
- Nuts
- Part-skim ricotta cheese
- Reduced-fat cheese sticks
- Sliced lean deli meat: ham, turkey, and chicken breast, roast beef
- Tomato juice and vegetable-juice blend
- South Beach Diet Jumpstarts Carb Control Snack Bars
For Phases 2 and 3, stock up on the above plus:
- Fresh fruits
- High-fiber, whole-grain cereal (look for those with at least 3 grams of fiber and no more than 2 g of sugar per serving)
- 100% whole-wheat or whole-grain bread
- Whole-grain crackers
- South Beach Diet 100-Calorie Snack Bars and/or Good to Go Bars
By enjoying healthy snack foods like these, you can save your moments of indulgence for a few bites of one or two of those truly irresistible holiday treats.

Android 4.2.2 update now rolling out for Nexus devices
Around one month ago we heard that new LG Nexus 4 smartphones may start shipping with Android 4.2.2 preinstalled. And here we are today, when Google has started pushing the 4.2.2 update to Nexus devices (specifically the Nexus 4, Nexus 7, Nexus 10, and Galaxy Nexus).
As its number designation implies, this is not a big update. As such, don't expect any feature additions (or not big ones, anyway). This update should be focused on cleaning out the remaining bugs in the 4.2 release, and we have previously heard that it's going to fix some annoying Bluetooth-related problems too.
It's funny to note how, while not one Android phone or tablet maker has put out an update to Android 4.2 just yet (and hey, we're only three months away from its release), Google isn't stopping with its rapid update pace. In fact, most of the mobile world expects the next 'big' update (codenamed Key Lime Pie) to be unveiled in May during the company's annual developer-focused conference. By that time, we'll probably see a couple of non-Nexus devices get 4.2, but most will still linger in 4.0 or 4.1 land.
Sad, if you care about such things. Not sad if you care about such things and you own a Nexus (well, one that isn't the Nexus One or Nexus S).
The update has been pretty elusive for the first hours of its rollout, so it wasn't certain that you'd get it by manually checking. But things have progressed, so if you haven't received the notification yet, perhaps it's time to go to Settings > About and do your thing.
The build number is JDQ39, and the update comes in at around 50 MB on the Nexus 10 (the size may vary depending on device).

riding horse or hacks are good ones for manerly tb's and generally what they move onto after ROR classes.
your friend should wear a navy show jacket pref not black, beigh jods, black boots, brown tack, horse can wear a neat cavesson/rolled bridle with a coloured brow band pref to tie in with riders tie hair scrunchie.
ETA just seen she is under 16 - as far as i know these are adult classes at county because its all done on age/horses height but if its just local she could wear the usual jod clips and joddy boots

at local shows as well as ex-race horse classes she could do things like 'riding horse', and if they can jump, even if only small, they can do riding club horse. in riding club horse you just have to jump one jump as well as doing a ridden show. there is also best turned out and best condition.
my horses are my medicine, without them im even more crazy!

The one point to remember if you do this is to change permissions after putting the script in /usr/bin . Happy New Year. Kalyan

Moto X gets priced: $299 for 16 GB, $349 for 32 GB – unlocked
The Motorola X will finally get official on August 1. Until next week, though, we're going to see many more rumors about it pop up. After all, this handset has been leaking like crazy for the past few weeks, and there's absolutely no reason for that to stop happening from now on.
Until now, we've heard a lot about the X's specs and the many things you can customize about it (hint: not the specs). But what about pricing? Today that too seems to have been revealed, though as with all rumors you must not take this for granted. Nothing's really official until it's official, and all that.
Unlike some, we always thought the Moto X's specs make a lot of sense – if it's going to be affordable. Yet others cling to the fact that the phone doesn't come with the latest and greatest… of anything, really. But that's not the point. The point of a midranger is to be a solid option for the 'everyman', 'Joe average' if you will. Something that's cheap enough to more easily become a mass-market success compared to a $650 handset.
And, if today's leak is accurate, Motorola agrees. The X will apparently start at $299 for the 16 GB version. The model with double that built-in storage will retail for $349. These are prices for unlocked units, and not ones bought from carriers with long-term contracts.
This is the exact same pricing we've seen for the Nexus 4, but that has half the storage of the X. On the other hand, the Nexus 4 sports a quad-core processor, unlike the X which is rumored to go dual-core only. So that may be where the price difference (at the same storage capacity, the Nexus 4 is $50 more expensive) comes from.
Oh, and it looks like assembling the thing in the USA won't take a toll on its affordability, which is great. Many are sure to be happy about that whole 'made in USA' phrase stuck on the back of the Moto X, and why not?
If for some reason you're into signing two-year contracts with carriers and want to get your X that way, we assume it won't be going for more than $99 (16 GB) or $149 (32 GB). And that's at the carriers themselves. Amazon, Wirefly, and other third party retailers will probably drop it even lower within a few weeks of the launch.
It's way too early to tell if this is actually going to be the first chapter in Motorola's comeback, but Google sure is doing things right on paper. A cheap mass-market device, with some novelty 'features' (all the customization goes in here), made in USA no less… Let's see how this pans out.
One thing looks pretty obvious though – Google doesn't necessarily want to make a ton of money off of the X directly. These price points clearly signify that. Whether or not the search giant will apply this strategy to all upcoming Motorola phones remains to be seen, but that would be a sweet prospect for smartphone buyers.
One note of caution, though, for those of you not in the US. Given Motorola's recent track record, we wouldn't expect the 'made in USA' X to be out anywhere else soon. Or if it will be, don't expect it to still be made in the USA. Prices in Europe should be €299 and €349, respectively, of course.

I know I'm not the only Melburnian who thinks that 11 degree days in October is RIDICULOUS. I know legit spring will come soon but for the time being, I'm going to revel in Queensland's warm weather vicariously with these series of Queensland posts. Because as much as I love Melbourne deep down, you know there is something wrong with your city when one Queensland winter day is twice as warm as a spring day in Melbourne.
Another thing that's 'ugh' is a delayed flight from Melbourne to Coolangatta. I mean, it was my fault for booking a peak period flight but still. Coolie ain't Sydney and 30 minute delays are pretty unusual, even for Jetstar. I was worried that this delay would mean that Marty and I would miss our 7:30pm booking at Allure on Currumbin but thankfully, the flight time was shortened thanks to good weather conditions and thankfully, Allure is only a five minute drive from the airport so we made it in time.
I've never been to Currumbin but from what I gather, it's a quiet little part of the Gold Coast surrounded by lots of flora and fauna and nary a drunken grommet in sight. And even though Duringan Street is home to many of the area's restaurants, I still find it odd that one of Gold Coast's one-hatted restaurants, and a fancy French one at that, is found here.
The lovely owner, Cheryl Fullerton, greeted us when we arrived at the door. She remembered me as 'the girl who was flying in from Melbourne' and quickly ushered us to a quiet corner table. Because it was a warm night on the 'Coast and because I was still in my Melbourne attire of woollen tights and scarves, she poured us iced waters immediately.
Once we had ordered our food, two neat stems of asparagus and cauliflower cream veloute appeared. Marty and I both loved this amuse bouche which was creamy and tasty. I, for one, would not have minded a big bowl of this to myself!
I liked that the wine mark-ups aren't unreasonable so I was pleased that my Frogmore Riesling from Tassie only cost us $7.50 (if this was Sydney, it would be more than $15, I bet). The menu says that this drop is 'classic lemon sherbet on the palate' and I have to agree. It was very fruit and sweet with a bit of a kick. Meanwhile, Marty had a long day at work and decided that he needed a Jamesons on the rocks ($10).
We started our meal off with some oysters. I'm someone who prefers to eat their oysters raw but we couldn't resist ordering the oysters gratinated with blue swimmer crabmeat, leek and chive Mornay for something a little bit different. I like how at Allure, there is the option to go four oysters in addition to half a dozen and a dozen. We decided that four (for $14) would be more than enough for just a little nibble. We loved the cheesiness interspersed with flecks of crab meat, but give me fresh naked oysters any day.
Allure's menu has something for everyone, thanks to the oh-so-egalitarian head chef Brad Cooper. While there are odd dishes such as the deep fried camembert ($19) that should have been left behind in the 80s and the seared scallops on confit pork belly ($22) that reminds us that we are, after all, in Queensland, there is bound to be a few dishes that will tickle your fancy.
Marty ordered the blue swimmer crab bisque ($19), which I thought was a weird choice given how warm it was that night and given that we shared some pretty rich oysters. Once I had a sip of it, however, I immediately took my words back. The bisque was delicious; it was super-rich and creamy, perfumed by the crab shells that went into making it. It also contained lots and lots of crab meat, which got two thumbs up for me (there is nothing worse than a restaurant that's super skint on ingredients).
I had the oxtail croquettes on truffled cauliflower cream and roasting juices ($19), which were also lovely.
Each crumbed pillow held together a mushy blend of mashed potatoes and tender strings of braised oxtail, beautiful on their own but even better when eaten with the truffled cauliflower cream provided.
Given that our first few dishes were rich, it shouldn't surprise you when I say that we were half full at this stage. Cheryl, whose team had given us nothing but attentive and friendly service, came around with a palate cleanser, a green apple sorbet. And suddenly, we were hungry again.
Marty had the slow roasted rack of lamb on truffled mash and carrot with creamed baby spinach and shallot jus ($42). It was a decently-sized dish and yes, one that was rich, which meant that even the human rubbish bin struggled with it. The lamb was well-prepared and tender but Marty said that he wouldn't be ordering this again. He didn't like that the carrot chips on top of the lamb as they were too sweet and secondly, he doesn't like the idea of mash swimming in jus so he found it hard to fully get into the dish. When I asked him for a soundbite, he went on a diatribe about how he thought that mash swimming in jus is not as awesome as it sounds and how he just didn't like jus in general. I don't know what else he said because I stopped listening to him at this point. That said, he did admit that he was erring on the side of 'too fussy' and not to take his word for it.
Meanwhile, I ordered the pan-seared Atlantic salmon with truffled mash, grilled asparagus, crisp parsnip and salsa verde ($35). I noticed that truffle played a big role at Allure, which made me wonder whether they were still stuck in 2007 – it was, after all, in most of the dishes I had. That said, they did know how to use truffle very well. Of the dishes I tried, truffle oil was only used sparingly so rather than overpowering the dishes, the oil actually brought out the flavours of the other ingredients. That, I had no issue with.
What I did have an issue with was the fish. It was a well-presented dish, which certainly appealed to my eat-paleo-as-much-as-I-can sensibilities. The truffled mash was beautiful and there was nothing wrong with the grilled asparagus. No, what annoyed me was that the waitress asked me how I would like my fish done and I replied, 'medium-rare.' The fish I ended up getting was bordering on well done so I didn't enjoy it as much as I would have liked.
We were full but Marty is not one to leave without ordering a dessert. He insisted we ordered our own desserts because there were so many wonderful things on the dessert menu but we compromised by ordering one to share. Given that most of the desserts on Allure's menu are pretty rich, we chose what we thought was the lightest one, a selection of homemade sorbets and fresh seasonal fruits in a spun toffee basket ($16). It was a work of art. After taking the obligatory iPhone shots to send to our friends, we dug into the beautiful fruit sorbets and the fresh fruits that adorned it, while breaking into the toffee basket. Amazeballs.
Overall, we had a wonderful night at Allure. The hospitality was amazing and the food was decently priced given the portion size (we got all this for around $160). Although there were a few misses (such as my salmon), the food was generally pretty good. I mean, if this is where Currumbin locals get to eat on date nights, then they should consider themselves very lucky. Just like its name suggests, Allure does have a lot of genuine charm which is way more than I could say for most of the fancy restaurants up in Surfers Paradise. We both agree that such charm would please even the most hardened food snobs flying up from Melbourne and Sydney. We would definitely return if we were in the area and definitely recommend it to anyone wanting a place were they could have a romantic date in an unpretentious setting, away from the bright lights of Broadbeach and Surfers.

Ooo everything here looks great but hmmm like you I'm not a fan of well done fish especially when it's salmon >_< lol tell Marty I like his way of thinking, 'never leave without ordering desserts' YAY that's the way to go!Reply
Reading this sure beats reading about corporateReply
tax! Hahaha, that spun sugar

Maybe a trip up to the Gold Coast is worth it again – I didn't much enjoy it the first time around though..Reply
I don't know what I enjoyed more: your words through the courses or the delightful imagery of the ending toffee basket filled with fruit sorbets. Bliss xReply

U.S. Ski Team's Bryon Friedman to Play Deer Valley
Some people are just so talented-like Steve Martin, for example, who can pen a sweet novella, make a stone face laugh and play the banjo like mad. And then there's Park City's Bryon Friedman, a former U.S. Ski Team downhill skier (downhill, did you read that? The crazy, fast stuff) and super talented musician. Friedman sounds (and looks) like Jack Johnson, but he's got more punch and energy to his music. His voice is rich and round and his melodies bright, folky acoustic that either mellow you out or make you tap your feet. Friedman's latest album, Matchstick Memories gets regular play on Sirius XM's Coffee House channel and last year, he was selected as one of the top 5 singer/songwriter discoveries of the year.

By Brunhilde Felding-Habermann, PhD, Associate Professor, The Scripps Research Institute and Project LEAD® Faculty
As with any other research, research on breast cancer can have very diverse overall goals, specific aims and study designs. As generally in research, the selection of new research directions is naturally driven by our immediate findings and the discovery of how biological pathways are involved in processes that we study. In basic research, a noble goal is to identify new meaningful questions built on each answer we found. This strategy can lead to an accumulation of a large body of knowledge that enhances our overall understanding of biological mechanisms. This understanding might eventually help to innovate therapies against diseases that could involve the biological processes studied.
When I first set out to establish my own lab in academic research, my goal was to enhance our understanding of mechanisms that drive breast cancer metastasis. The very first research grant that I received was from the California Breast Cancer Research Program. This program made a huge difference for me, not only by allowing me to embark on my own research but also by connecting me with breast cancer advocacy. This connection turned out to be of fundamental importance for me, everyone in my group, and the design of our research projects. The interaction with breast cancer advocates taught me and continues to teach me, essentially every day, why we do the work we do and for whom we search for new insight into what determines the onset and progression of breast cancer. I learned that we cannot work purely for information seeking purposes only. I learned that we must develop our research strategies so that our projects have an immediate potential to break new ground toward significant improvement of breast cancer therapy. I became keenly aware that the mission of our work is to make a tangible difference for breast cancer patients now, and not in the far away future. And that we must strive to generate information and tools that will help women to avoid becoming breast cancer patients in the first place.
Another very important aspect of working with breast cancer advocates is hard to frame in words. Every time I meet with a breast cancer advocate or a group, I receive an indescribable boost of energy. Every one I met who decided to be an advocate, has enriched me and everyone in my group to reach high and work hard for them, their children, and everyone with or carrying a risk of breast cancer. The determination of advocates, and the reality message that hoping for better treatments is not an alternative because we live now, is empowering and transmits a clear message of responsibility that propels our work.
Working with students of Project LEAD® this year was fantastic. I wish to thank everyone in the group for their determination, power, and kindness. The sense that we are in this together, and that we can work together to end breast cancer is strong. Neither one of us can reach this goal alone. So, thank you for being there and for working with us.

Coronado Hires New Public Services Directorback
Contact: Janine Zúñiga; (619) 522-7340
Coronado Hires New Public Services Director
CORONADO, CA (June 2, 2014) – The City of Coronado has named recently retired Navy Capt. Clifford M. Maurer as its new Public Services Director.
Maurer, who is expected to start June 23, has a nearly 30-year naval career as a Civil Engineer Corps officer. The Navy's Civil Engineer Corps is a team of professional engineers and architects responsible for managing the planning, design, construction, operation and maintenance of the Navy's shore facilities. He has served as Naval Facilities Engineering Command's Operations Officer, Strategic Business Officer and Energy Officer.
City Manager Blair King said Maurer, 51, has extensive experience in public works management, maintenance, construction and service contracting, environmental engineering and strategic planning. He was chosen from a select group of eight finalists from a pool of nearly 100 applicants and invited to interview for the position.
"The City of Coronado will greatly benefit from Cliff's background as a Civil Engineer Corps officer and his leadership experience as a Navy officer," King said. "We are pleased to welcome him to the City, where he will oversee both the Public Services and Engineering departments."
Maurer is a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, holds a master's degree in Civil Engineering from the University of California, and completed the Advanced Management Program at the Wharton School of Business, University of Pennsylvania. Maurer held command posts, including at Naval Facilities Engineering Command's largest field organization, Naval Facilities Engineering Command Southwest based in San Diego. He led an organization at NAVFAC Southwest responsible for facilities and real estate in a six-state area on the West Coast.
Maurer is a registered Professional Engineer in the Commonwealth of Virginia and a Certified Energy Manager. He currently serves on the Board of Directors of the San Diego Post of the Society of Military Engineers and is a past president. He is also a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers.
The City's Public Services Department has a $5.6 million budget and 42 permanent as well as a number of seasonal employees, who maintain the City's physical infrastructure and the City's beaches, parks, facilities and fleet in the most cost-effective manner. Public Services is responsible for a wide range of services including street, parks and beach maintenance; graffiti removal on public property; parkway tree trimming; sewer main line cleaning and maintenance; stormwater pollution prevention; and household hazardous waste, trash and recycling. The City's Engineering Department has a $1 million budget and 9 full time and one half-time position. The department manages general engineering services, traffic engineering, project development, street maintenance and improvements, storm drain improvements and the Wastewater Utility Improvement Program.
City Manager King said Maurer, who once lived in Coronado, will soon relocate back to Coronado from Oxnard, where he currently resides with his wife. He will receive an annual base salary of $162,996.


text: From what I've learned it doesn't cause any sovereignty issues, doesn't require any new legislation, and has some bipartisan support. However the support breaks down within the repub party between basically internationalists (like McCain, H.W. Bush, Dole, and some other older republicans vs. newer teaparty isolationists like Corker, Rubio, etc). Over 125 other countries have already ratified this treaty including China (which isn't known for their human rights). Basically all people including those with disabilities. Thought I would get the boards thoughts since we have a range of political leanings on it.

Comments from Bill Huelbig
Showing 76 - 100 of 1,863 comments
I'm giving the edge to the Cinerama screen at the Capitol. Something about the curve, the way it just enveloped you. Really amazing.
Thanks Jfg718 and William for describing the Capitol screen so vividly, bringing me back to the one and only time I saw it, "2001: A Space Odyssey", 46 years ago today. I too think it was the largest screen I've ever seen, even after all these years.
The storm was at its height just about when the movie was over – visibility zero – and I was seriously considering asking the manager if I could spend the night on the wide rug floor between the front row and the screen. I didn't think I'd be able to get home, but I did. Now I regret not asking. What if they'd said yes? That would really be a Ziegfeld night to remember!
Rob, on behalf of all those people waiting in the snow, I want to thank you for running the shows that day.
Rob: Sorry to hear about your accident with the "Gandhi" reel, but I've got to say that movie was one of the best shows I've ever seen at the Ziegfeld. I saw it there 7 times, including the night of one of the worst blizzards in NYC history, a Friday night in February 1983. Maybe you were working that night? It was a packed house, too.
According to a book called "The Wizard of Oz: The Official 75th Anniversary Companion", the movie did above average box office business in 1939, but failed to break even due to its exorbitant production costs. The same thing happened to "Cleopatra", the top box office attraction of 1963 but forever branded a flop. "Oz" did recoup its costs and start to show a profit ten years later, due to a very successful nationwide rerelease in 1949. MGM promoted it as the "most requested" of its hits from years past.
I believe today was the day "2001" opened to the general public, after the press screening and premiere, 46 years ago.
Good thing the plaque was wrong about that, BigJoe. The only time I was ever in the Capitol was June 1968.
Bigjoe59: You can find lots of souvenir programs on eBay. I got one for It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World from there, and in excellent condition.
Looking forward to "2001" tonight at the Count Basie Theatre. It'll be my first time there. Hope the screen is as big as it looks from the photos of the stage curtains.
I saw "2001" here three years ago in the small upstairs theater. Saw it again tonight in the main theater, with the biggest screen. Size does matter when it comes to "2001".
Every Sunday in December 2013, the NYC subway system runs a vintage train filled with ads from the 1940's and 1950's:
Maybe they could have a sellout with Star Wars Episode VII in December 2015. The prequels all did very well at the Ziegfeld.
Bud is right. The Ziegfeld will never sell out with a new movie, but if TCM holds another Road to Hollywood event there in early 2014, like they've done for the last few years, you won't see one empty seat. That's a sight to behold.
"The Bells of St. Mary's" is the movie Al Pacino and Diane Keaton went to Radio City to see in "The Godfather". I'm trying to imagine Michael and Kay waiting on that impossibly long line.
Wow, Chris. Thanks for reporting that for us. Now if only they'd SHOW "2001" at the Chinese. Maybe they will someday.
Just got back from a true classic at Hoboken Cinemas: "Psycho". They've been showing lots of great stuff every Saturday and Sunday morning. Too bad there were only 3 other people in the audience besides me.
Saw it in Imax 3D. That is indeed the only way to see it, and I was never that crazy about 3D. Not since Avatar, anyway. Gravity is an excellent movie all around.
A post from Vito or RobEndres can never be too long. Great to hear from you both again!
One of the largest is in the AMC Loew's Lincoln Square complex in New York City, measuring 100' by 80'.
One answer might be that the New York metropolitan area had multiple Cinerama theaters at the time the MGM Cinerama films were released. There was one in Montclair NJ (the Clairidge), two on Long Island NY (the Syosset in Syosset and the Twin South in Hicksville), and one in Rockland County NY (the Route 59), which was Cinerama only for a short time, but it did play How the West Was Won.
I think the reason "2001"'s Cinerama run in New York was so short is because MGM had "Ice Station Zebra" ready to go out, and there was only one Cinerama theater in New York at that time. So they sacrificed "2001" in Cinerama to make room for "Zebra". But the 35mm version of "2001" played in only a handful of theaters in Manhattan until March 1969, so the movie played New York for a week or two short of one year before going into wide release.
I guess everybody wanted to see Liz and Dick. It's a common misconception that "Cleopatra" was a flop, but it was actually the biggest-grossing movie of its year. It just cost so much that it didn't show a profit until its network TV sale, several years later.
rcdt55b: I guess you can't be more specific yet, but I hope you meant the Music Hall will soon be showing an actual movie again, and not just something projected for the Christmas show. Looking forward to the answer!
Yesterday I attended a William Castle double bill of "The Tingler" and "Homicidal". They took interactive movie-going to new heights. Forget 3D – these movies were in 5D. I even got popcorn in my hair. Most fun I've had at the movies in years.

Melanie Fiona is effortless with her sing-song. This new single, "Cold Piece," shows the Canadian singer blending what sounds like the best of popular R&B styles over the years (circa mid-1990s to early-2000s); Love this lady's versatility!

Parents need to be active participants in their children's educational experiences. They can help their children at home when teachers are not available. It is important for parents to meet and communicate with the child's teacher. Parents of students who show an interest in their education, seem to do better than students who do not have the support and help of their parents.
Parents should familiarize themselves with the material that there students are required to learn. Several websites are up and available to help promote the educational experiences of all students. One of the websites that most teachers use is www.brainpop.com. Some teachers will even provide a list of websites that they may recommend their students use to enhance their learning outside of the classroom.
Parents who are involved with their child's education can boost their child self-esteem, and this can make a child that was struggling to be able to become a successful student, and improve their grades all the way around. Students who struggle in school are usually students that do not have support and are from lower-class families. Most of these students end up repeating grades, or having to receive tutorial or resource help at school.
Parents can also volunteer at their child's school to help students who do not have that support, and help them in any areas that they are struggling in. Teachers and parents can work together to produce a conducive learning environment for all students. When the students see that the teachers and parents are working together, it can promote dynamic results in a students attitude and performance in the classroom.
If students see that someone truly is willing to help them, they will begin to strive to do better. Together, parents and teachers can help any student become successful learners.

With the beach on the hotel doorstep there's plenty to keep your little ones occupied. Enjoy sunbathing, splashing about and building sand castles right here using the hotel as your base and you can pad in and out as you please and have lunch on the terrace.
Catch the ferry in to town to buy your buckets and spades and get your ice creams, there's also a toy shop and Cranch's Pantry, a traditional old fashioned sweet shop bursting with naughtiness.
Crabbing is great fun and very popular here in Salcombe and there are numerous spots off the quay to dangle your fishing lines and have competitions to see who can catch the most.
Wander up and down Island Street to see the speedboats at Ranieri and dive in to the chandlers to see fresh crabs and lobsters in their tanks. At the end of the Street you'll find the award winning Salcombe Dairy Ice Cream Factory and shop which is guaranteed to buy you at least ten minutes of sheer contentment and more importantly, complete silence. Happy Days.
A ten minute walk up the road and you'll find North Sands Beach. North Sands is a tidal beach so check the times before you go to make sure there's some sand to sit on. It's great for sunbathing, playing and splashing about. There is a car park here and a grassy picnic area which is great for ball games, bbq's and dogs.
If it's raining you can visit The Reel Cinema in Kingsbridge www.thereelcinema.co.uk

On last night's second episode of "Catch a Contractor," multi-talented comedian Adam Carolla and his team of private investigator Alison Bedell and her husband Skip, a licensed home-improvement contractor, this team is going after the worst contractors in America. Before Adam became famous for his comedy and other endeavors, he was a contractor, so it is not so much of a stretch for him. Now, the three are on the job to hunt down the crooked people who screw over innocent people, and force them to complete the jobs they left unfinished. If they cannot find these people, they will finish the job and help the family take legal action against these jerks.
They visited the Johnson family. Their contractor was brought in to remodel their kitchen and bathroom. What he left them with was an unfinished, bug infested, contaminated mess. For two years, this prevailed as their contractor named Avi did this to them with no remorse.
As Adam and Skip went to visit with the Johnsons, they found a septic backup with cricket and silverfish infestation. Avi Cohen was paid $32,000 to redo the kitchen and bathroom and disappeared in the middle of the job, leaving the sewer lines uncapped and the toxic sewer gasses coming back into the house.
The Johnsons made the biggest mistake by giving him the entire $32,000 up front. So they will help in one or three ways; bring him back to fix the job, return all her money or help her take them to court to sue him.
Alison hunted Avi down and found him. She set up an appointment for the sting to catch him. As he parked outside, the producer and camera crews were ready to film him, and Adam and Skip were prepared to drop the hammer on him. When they confronted him, he complained that she ran out of money, and he did not make a penny on the job. When the sewer backed up, they took out the cabinets, and brought the contaminated ones back in. He claimed he was an honest person, and would come back the next day. Adam gave him the three options they discussed with the Johnsons, but will he return?
