pectations exAt Southwest Florida International this Thanksgiving, the time you wait in line may vary depending on the day you're traveling. But what's allowed to pass through security remains the same.
If you travel often, you probably have your own ideas about how to prepare.
But with the holidays, even seasoned travelers may have to pack some odd things that could cause a problem at security.
Fort Myers residents Jerry and Elaine Pearson travel home during the holidays. They know wrapped presents aren't recommended unless you want to go through extra screening and have your gifts unwrapped.
"It's just a hassle," said Jerry.
To ensure your travel goes smoothly, the Transportation Security Administration has holiday reminders.
Remember the plastic bag rule for liquids. Snow globes are OK, if they're smaller than a tennis ball.
Pies and cakes are fine. But liquid dishes, like cranberry sauce that are more than 3 ounces, aren't permitted in your carry on.
"We try to move the lines as quick as we can but not at expense of security. That way, when people are better prepared that really helps us a lot," said Bob Cohen, Federal Security Director at Southwest Florida International.
But perhaps the best tip of all is getting to the airport on time. RSW officials are recommending people get here at least two hours before their flight leaves.
Currently, wait times at RSW security are averaging 30 to 40 minutes.
So, even those who are the most prepared will still end up waiting in line.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Click here to download a printer-friendly version of this FAQ. [pdf]
Democracy is often described as a form of government that is of, by, and for the people. A democracy adheres to laws and public policies that reflect the public will. It protects civil liberties and responsible freedom. It aspires to justice and equity for all citizens. And it supports fair elections of government representatives.
Deliberative democracy is a term used originally by political scientists, and now more broadly, to describe a form of democracy that has certain characteristics:
Although difficult to achieve, deliberative democracy is easy to imagine: people with different perspectives and ideas come together, study and talk about public concerns, work through conflicts, weigh options, and act individually and collaboratively, with each other and public officials; to effectuate social and policy change.
TDI's vision is broader than democracy as a form of government. We envision and seek to advance democracy as a set of principles and practices that guide how people interact and work together every day to improve public life and to create a more just society.
The point is that democracy is not something we have. It's something we do.
What is the role of colleges and universities in a deliberative democracy?
We know from recent research that high school students are not learning enough about civics to be actively engaged in social change and public policy making (see Peter Levine, The Future of Democracy: Developing the Next Generation of American Citizens, Tufts University Press, 2007). Colleges and universities need to make up for that gap in student learning. We view colleges and universities as among the best places for "citizens-in-progress" to learn the principles and practices of democracy. And, we believe colleges and universities should be leveraging and lending their knowledge to work with local communities and states in this important work.
What is the relationship between deliberative democracy and democratic dialogue and public deliberation? What's the difference between dialogue and daily conversations?
Quality dialogue and deliberation are critical to a deliberative democracy.
Dialogue is an interpersonal relationship-building process that involves listening and talking and that has a purpose of gaining mutual understanding that then serves as the foundation for individual, social, and/or public policy change. Organizations and initiatives that seek to improve the way we do dialogue in American public life promote dialogue as a way to: (1) change individual behavior and attitudes, and particularly to increase intercultural understanding and tolerance, (2) confront and address historic and contemporary social and economic injustice, (3) increase civility and respect (addressing the claim that "our civil society is less than civil"), (4) build community and networks, (5) change institutions such as governments and workplaces, (6) manage and capitalize on the transformative nature of conflict, and (7) change the way laws and public policies are made.
Dialogue is not to be confused with everyday conversations and is more than "just talk," which is why we usually characterize dialogue as "democratic." Democratic dialogue adheres to certain principles. It is:
The term deliberation often brings to mind the judicial process and the role of juries: a small group of men and women charged with the responsibility of listening to evidence, giving that evidence careful consideration, weighing choices, and making decisions, all in ways that are intentional and not hurried. In a public deliberation, people come together to study a community, social, or political issue, identify possible solutions (choices), consider the advantages, disadvantages, and trade-offs for each choice, and make decisions about how an issue should be addressed.
Some might argue that dialogue focuses on the dynamics of groups and interpersonal relationship building and deliberation focuses on issues and decision making. We look at it a little differently: in a public setting, democratic dialogue is the foundation for quality deliberation and sustainable decisions.
You mention ground rules for dialogue and public discourse. What are they?
Effective systems of open communication and exchange are guided by ground rules, agreements that people make about how they are going to work together. Some typical ground rules are:
One of American democracy's greatest challenges is for citizens (and policy makers) to work together across different social backgrounds, political ideology, personal perspectives, and moral values to work through their differences, overcome conflict, and increase social and political efficacy that benefit and sustain a just society.
Starting about fifteen years ago, it became almost a cliché to label Americans "spectators" of nearly all aspects of public life. Commentators on our nation's civic health point to several concerns: citizen disengagement from politics; the adversarial nature of public policy making; a public increasingly polarized by differences; everyday acts of intolerance, incivility, and unethical behavior, and persistent patterns of social exclusion and economic disparity.
In the past few years, experiments in deliberative democracy have emerged as promising antidotes to disengagement, polarization, exclusion, and incivility. Across the country, thousands of ordinary citizens and policy makers are participating in study circles, intergroup dialogues, issue forums, public conversations, deliberative polling, and town meetings on matters of local and national concern. Organizations such as Everyday Democracy, National Issue Forums and the Kettering Foundation, Public Conversations Project, and the Taos Institute provide support for communities seeking new ways to address community needs and public issues. The results of these organized, deliberative processes include a higher level of citizen engagement in public life, public buy-in for resulting policies, new civic organizations and projects, improved interpersonal relationships, and sustainable change.
A lot is happening, but it has yet to reach the tipping point. The aim is to advance deliberative democracy as the way we do our business in American society. And we believe higher education should play an important role in educating and engaging young citizens in the theory and practice of deliberative democracy. This is a different way of learning about and engaging in little 'p' politics and young citizens should be introduced and engaged with it while in college.
If not now, when?
We feel a sense of urgency. Our nation's issues are too complex and far-reaching – consider climate change, terrorism, and global economic disparities – and to persistent – consider poverty, crime, structural racism, and health care disparities – and too divisive – consider immigration, affirmative action, the role of religion in public life – to be managed by a political elite. These problems can only be address by an educated, informed, vigilant, and active citizenry.
We see an opportunity. Declines in political involvement, voter turnout, public trust in government, interest in current events, and participation in local public meetings – some of these problems seem to be turning around during this presidential election. If participation in the political process is a more positive experience, then perhaps Americans will maintain their interest after this election season ends.
We can build upon experience. Check out the reports on Everyday Democracy's web site. Read Matt Leighninger's The Next Form of Democracy and Intergroup Dialogue, edited by David Schoem and Sylvia Hurtado. Consider the way Oregon undertook an open and deliberative process to change its health care system (described in Gutmann and Thompson's Why Deliberative Democracy? on pages 17-20, which you can read at http://press.princeton.edu/chapters/s7869.html), and the ongoing work of Portsmouth Listens in New Hampshire (http://portsmouthlistens.org/). We know a lot more about how to do this work than we did even ten years ago.
Yes, it does.
We're not naïve. We know that democracy is an attractive idea that is easier said than done. We are aware of the valid questions about whether deliberative democracy is realistic or even desirable. The foundations for truly democratic dialogue – inclusiveness, open-mindedness, informed participation, reasonableness – seem unattainable or unenforceable. True inclusiveness requires that those with power set it aside. Is it realistic to expect that level of personal integrity? A deliberative process can be time-consuming and impractical. For some issues, our pluralistic society makes it nearly impossible to find common ground. Too many conflicts, particularly those stemming from moral beliefs, are irreconcilable. These legitimate concerns call for continued study, experimentation, and discussion.
But we also believe that Americans should not settle for the alternative – disengaged communities and a distant government of and by those who happen to be the majority. Every generation of Americans faces new challenges that provoke questions about how best to achieve a just society. The difference now is that, after years of measurable declines in civic and political participation, ordinary citizens are finding they have a voice, a say in the answers to the big questions facing society.
The other distinction is that, in a deliberative democracy, the responsibility for real change is shared – it is not only that elected officials consult citizens before making decisions for those citizens. It is that problems are considered from multiple perspectives: what can our policy makers or the government to do address a problem? What can others do – others such as nonprofit organizations, citizen groups, corporations, and faith communities? And what can I do as an individual? What changes can I make in my own habits and behaviors? What is my responsibility to address these concerns, and how do I live up to that responsibility?
We all shares responsibility for making deliberative democracy work.
What "principles and practices" is TDI seeking to promote in student learning and/or institutional governance and decision-making?
We're specific.
Don't most colleges and universities already educate for democracy?
Certainly every university president and board is "for" civic engagement, diversity, and democracy, but few organize their institutional practices in a way that would suggest that they take this mandate seriously. The term democracy is not in most institutional mission statements. It is not clear that existing programs affect more than a small number of students, and it is not clear that students in general are changing their attitudes toward matters of equity, justice, and civic engagement as a result of their college experiences. Nearly 90% of all college students report that they attend college "to get a better job." More students may be involved in community service, but few are developing the passion for or skills needed for taking on the economic, social, and political inequities that give rise to the need for community service in the first place. For example, it is unusual to find a campus that integrates the diversity and civic engagement offices. Structurally, colleges and universities rarely model exemplary democratic practices, as evidenced by their entrenched promotion and tenure systems, disciplinary silos, and hierarchical power structures.
We know that a certain amount of teaching and learning for democracy occurs in academic disciplines, interdisciplinary programs, and high impact learning structures (e.g., first year experiences, internships, senior capstones, study abroad). (For a graphic of where teaching and learning for deliberative democracy can occur on campus, see our graphic). We suspect, however, that this kind of learning occurs in isolated courses that are disconnected from complementary efforts in other departments. Currently, TDI is coordinating an ambitious effort to study where democratic learning occurs, and to what end (to become involved in this exploration, go to Catalyst Papers).
Perhaps most discouraging is the fact that, despite higher education's attention to civic engagement and diversity, national patterns of socio-economic inequality, polarization based on social identity and ideology, acts of intolerance and incivility, and, more recently, environmental deterioration, persist. We are seeing more excitement over this year's presidential election, but it isn't clear that that will stick or translate into individual long-term commitment to social change or political engagement.
What does my campus need to do to educate for a more just and deliberative democracy? How would we get started?
What is called for is not necessarily an increase in the number of programs or a heavier workload for educators. Rather, colleges and universities need to examine their current programs and activities and align them with the principles and practices of democracy. What is called for is a shift in the way colleges and universities do their work.
There are lots of ways to get started, and what campuses do depends on their circumstances and what they hope to accomplish. Here are a few ideas:
The staff and many members of TDI have extensive experience in guiding campuses through this process of assessment, dialogue, planning, and implementation. For more information on what TDI can do with your campus, see What We Do.
We like the idea of an assessment or inventory. What kinds of things would we look for?
Basically, if you are connected to a program or office captured in our graphics on teaching and learning for DD and democratic leadership on campus, you should join.
We're free, so you don't owe us money.
What we really want from you is your interest, time and ideas. But that does not mean that you will have to neglect all your other responsibilities to join us. We support projects, but because we are a lean operation, we ask people to contribute resources to the web site, write, reach out to new members, form communities of practice, host a regional meeting, host a webinar, participate in something specific. It depends on what we are doing. And we hope that members will propose and take the initiative on their own projects. TDI is happy to help members organize something or to co-sponsor an event or activity.
A lot of our members are quiet for a while, and then they become more active when they can – it is up to you how much time and energy you devote to the cause.
Our Statement of Principles and Practices answers this question in more detail. In terms of how we are going to operate, we plan to be as "flat" an organization as possible. We welcome and need anyone who wants to affect higher education's role in American democracy. We seek a diverse membership. All of our publications will be open source – our purpose is to share knowledge and resources. We welcome active involvement by our members and are happy to share leadership responsibilities for TDI's work.
We work consistently with the principles and practices we support, in ways that are respectful, inclusive, knowledgeable and informed, reasoned and deliberative, and carefully designed to effectuate change.
There are lots of other organizations out there. What is TDI's niche?
We are the only national initiative that focuses on advancing the principles and practices of a just and deliberative democracy in college and university teaching and learning and as an institutional leadership and governance practice.
Our work complements the work of:

Family Reunion
Wonderful place for our large family reunion. Conveniently located, beautifully situated, comfortable with just enough room for privacy, gathering, and fun. Great kitchen for communal cooking and entertaining. This was both a great base for day trips hiking, rafting, shopping etc. AND a beautiful, relaxing place for just hanging out. Note however, it is not handicap accessible; many stairs.
Family Spring Ski Event
This house is "sweet", my daughter txt to me when her family of four were the first to arrive. There was 10 of us (6 adults and 4 kids) and we were able to spread out, relax but enjoy each other as a group when all together. The kids loved the walkout basement area with foosball, movies, wii games, board games, and even game table. The kitchen and dining was perfect and seated all of us. This place was easy to maintain and keep clean because you had so much room! It was easy to feel at home here! Everything the owner presented was as good if not better than described. The heated pool and huge hot tub added the extra plus to this place not to mention free lift tickets and discounts on ski rental (close to the ski area at the YMCA). You can't beat the cost when comparing it to what would have been the cost of three hotel rooms a night with nowhere near the amenities! There is no comparison. Stay here and instead!
Outstanding Home
The views are beyond incredible, it has a mountain feel, with lots of luxury appointments. We had children 9 & 14 and the rest adults on our trip, the kids loved the pool table and play area downstairs so they could have their own fun away from the adults. The ski mountain is around a couple of bends, so very easy to access and you really feel away from things, excellent location in Granby Ranch. This was our second trip and everything was taken care of and set up nicely.

Spencer Pratt
Heidi Montag was at Pure in Las Vegas with husband Spencer Pratt over the weekend, where she dished to "Extra" about posing for Playboy.
"The Hills" starlet confirms that she is indeed posing for the mag again. "Matthew Rolston will be shooting it. I'm very excited to show off my new assets," she said.
Montag first posed for Playboy in September 2009, but the spread featured no nudity. As for her second feature being full nude, "I'm gonna surprise you," said Montag.
This is the first public appearance for the starlet since her 10 plastic surgery procedures in November.
"I was shaking a little bit," said "The Hills" star. "It's a little overwhelming, but it's my first time out of the house. It feels good."
In a previous interview with Us, Montag talked about giving her mom plastic surgery for Mother's Day. She tells "Extra" that her plans for that may have changed.
"I thought my mom wanted plastic surgery for Mother's Day a couple months ago. I think after my surgery she decided I had enough for the family," she said. "You'll see everything unfold on 'The Hills' this season, her full reaction, which I was shocked about. Very hurtful."
Spencer seemed to be a little more supportive of his wife's plastic surgery decision. "It's the same Heidi to me, I'm in love with her spirit," said Pratt.
Pratt also shared his thoughts on John Mayer's Playboy interview.
"He needs more love in his life,"Pratt said about Mayer. "John Mayer's getting caught up in what I got caught up in. You know, the pop culture TMZ, I love famous. Don't get me wrong, I love cameras and lights, you can do that, but not at the expense of other people."
Heidi Montag is taking aim at haters who say she's gone too far with her plastic surgeries -- and says she won't have any more surgeries for a "long time" to prevent looking like Cat Lady Jocelyn Wildenstein.
"I would know when I have gone too far," Montag explains. "I know now that for a long time I'm good and it's just maintenance. As I get older I'll probably keep up with it. I definitely think that enough is enough. This is as far as I want to go for a long time. I don't want to look like Cat Lady."
Montag also came to "Extra" to set the record straight on rumors People magazine footed the $30,000 bill for her recent plastic surgery operation.
"I just heard that!" Montag, 23, tells "Extra" of the rumor. "I wish they did, I would have loved... for them to chip in. No, they definitely did not."
What do you think of Heidi's new look? Sound-off now
The "Hills" starlet also addressed co-star Audrina Patridge's comments that her cosmetic enhancements were "a little much."
"I think that she hasn't seen the photos -- she probably just heard 10 surgeries and has no idea what it is," Heidi says. "So I think when I see her in person... she'll be like, 'Oh okay, it's not that drastic.'"
Montag adds, "Or maybe I'm crazy and it's that traumatic and I just don't realize it."
The MTV star -- who spent much of the last season of "The Hills" pressuring husband Spencer Pratt to start a family -- says her surgeries have put baby plans on the back burner.
"I will not be having children any time soon," Montag says. "I won't be ready for a long time because I'm going to enjoy this youthful body.

Heidi Montag just had ten plastic surgery procedures, but she's already thinking about the next time she'll go under the knife.
Montag, 23, underwent multiple cosmetic enhancements -- including her second breast augmentation -- but still wants more. Heidi admits her chest is now a "triple D, F. I like the F. I actually want H for Heidi."
The "Hills" star says of her nip/tuck, "I had a little bit of botox, an eyebrow lift, my ears tucked, I had my nose re-aligned, fat injections put into my cheeks, my lips done and I had my chin shaved down."
Montag thinks her new look is an "upgrade."
What do you think of Heidi's new look? Vote now!
Three months after undergoing the procedures, Heidi tells "Extra's" Terri Seymour that she went under the knife because of underlying insecurities about her looks.
Heidi claims to have been teased as a kid in school, saying. "It always kinda held me back from a certain inner light and an inner happiness."
"Hills" co-star Lo Bosworth has blasted Heidi for the message she's sending to young women, but Montag dismisses that, saying her cosmetic surgery will not decide whether young women follow in her surgical footsteps.
"Young girls who want to get it would get it regardless," Heidi explains. "They need to know how severe it is and how serious and real it is. And that's why I wanted to share my story with it. It's not that you just go in and come out and it's great a week later."
Montag says her husband Spencer Pratt was initially dead-set against the surgeries. "Spencer was like, 'You are crazy. You've officially lost it. I think you should see a therapist before you go.'"

What do you think? Did Heidi take it too far?
Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt have not been kidnapped, and are safe in Los Angeles.
Montag, 23, used a scarf as a shield from the paparazzi while walking into her L.A. home. An eyewitness saw the "Hills" star covered, grew concerned, and called the police to report a "possible kidnapping."

Heidi confirms that the 911 call was a misunderstanding -- and tells People magazine that she's grateful for the quick response from the LAPD.
"We're grateful this was only a false alarm, and I just had my pink Hermes scarf over me," Montag says. "A neighbor was concerned and called the police. We're thankful to the LAPD for their response and making sure we were safe."

The false alarm was first reported by TMZ, which noticed that helicopters and policemen swarmed the reality couple's home on Wednesday afternoon.

Heidi Montag can't get enough of her nip/tuck.
"For the past three years, I've thought about what to have done," Montag, 23 tells People magazine. "I'm beyond obsessed."

The "Hills" star underwent 10 procedures at the end of November and chronicled her hopes of becoming "the best me." Keeping her family in the dark, Heidi had her breasts enlarged, chin reduced and nose redone, among other cosmetic procedures.

Spencer Pratt doesn't expect to hear from Al Roker after slamming him on Twitter Monday a few hours after he and wife Heidi Montag were cut from the "Today" show.
"I don't think Al Roker will be Tweeting me back any time soon," Pratt, 26, told "Extra" at a New York City book signing for "How to Be Famous: Our Guide to Looking the Part, Playing the Press, and Becoming a Tabloid Fixture."
Not that Pratt cares.
"He does only have a few thousand followers so it wouldn't even matter what he says," Pratt says. (In fact, Roker posted Tuesday morning, "Folks, stay on the high road in dealing with people who toss anger and hate here on Twitter. Don't stoop to their level.")
See "The Hills'" hottest hookups
Pratt and Montag also opened up to "Extra" about their reality series, which they joked will be called "The Speidi Show."
Pratt said he's in talks with "the biggest network in the world."
"Everything is currently top secret," he went on. "We are part of 'The Hills' and love the show, but 'The Hills' only shows one minute a week of Heidi and Spencer. The new show will have at least 22 minutes and limited editing! There will also be many live scenes throughout the series."
Added Montag, "Raw, uncut!"
Said Pratt, "A really true version of Speidi."
One topic the reality couple wouldn't discuss: Little sister Stephanie Pratt's recent DUI and court-ordered rehab.
"With this book tour, it's not really relevant to Speidi. I don't know who you're talking about," Pratt told "Extra."
Al Roker isn't taking the bait.
After Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag were bumped from the "Today" show Monday, Pratt took to his Twitter to post nasty messages.
See photos from Heidi and Spencer's wedding
Wrote Pratt, "@alroker WEATHERMAN I thought you were out of town today getting your stomache [sic] stapled again?"
Roker's response?
"Folks, stay on the high road in dealing with people who toss anger and hate here on Twitter. Don't stoop to their level," he wrote Tuesday morning.
Roker and the MTV reality couple had their first run-in last June. After a contentious interview, Roker wrote on Twitter, "Heidi and Spencer are an interesting couple. famous for... being infamous. Bad and vacuous behavior. I think we're at minute 11 of their 15."
Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag are looking to expand their airtime on TV.
Pratt, 26, and Montag, 23, are shopping a reality show to different television networks based on their "everyday lives."
See photos from Speidi's wedding
"You don't get to see our everyday lives and what we do," Montag tells the Associated Press. The couple would also like to splice live segments into their show.
They want to stay on "The Hills" while filming their own series. MTV did not return comment to the AP.

Heidi Montag's Plastic Surgery Makeover — Good For Her or WTF?
Heidi Montag's Plastic Surgery Makeover — Good For Her or WTF?
by POPSUGAR Celebrity 134 Reactions 0 Shares Print
Heidi Montag is on the cover of this week's People discussing her latest plastic surgery. The issue also coincides with the release of her new Superficial album, which became available online Tuesday through iTunes. She apparently underwent 10 operations last November, including a chin reduction, another nose job, liposuction, and more. It's dramatic, for sure, but it's not the first time Heidi has gone under the knife. Nor will it be the last, apparently. "For the past three years, I've thought about what to have done," she said. "I'm beyond obsessed." So, tell us what you think about Heidi's transformation — good for her or WTF?

I think there are plenty of people on here that are jealous of her. If it makes the woman happy leave her alone. I do think it is more risky to have so many procedures at once. She looks the way she wants do you?

she obviously has not found a great purpose in life yet. once, she does, the illusion of physical beauty will be out the door. its part of a process of her journey to realize who she really is.

Heidi was stunning before she had all that surgery. i bet if she had never met Spencer she wouldn't have even considered having plastic surgery. She looks so fake now, she's after destroying her natural beauty..it's such a shame.

I think its a good thing that Spencer's holding out on letting her have a baby- people this stupid should NOT be allowed to procreate.

People keep saying they think this is sad and then they call her ugly or something along those lines. To me, that's even sadder. Heidi obviously did this to herself because a) She didn't like her appearance before and b) she wants attention. I for one think if she's happy with how she looks NOW, we all don't have a right to judge her for that. Think about it this way...With all the negative comments flying around, some of them are bound to get back to Heidi. She said she had all this surgery because people made negative comments about her appearance before. What do you think all your negative comments will drive her to do? In no way am I holding anyone responsible for Heidi's decisions, but words DO hurt sometimes... I think it's sad that Heidi felt uncomfortable in her own skin, but I think the public's reaction is even sadder. It kind of disgusts me with people in general...Let's all just be happy that she feels great about herself NOW and hopefully she won't get more surgeries. Now instead of posting a rebuttal to my comment, go see what you can do about helping people in Haiti. After all, that issue is way more important.

She looks like a man now, or a transvestite. Obviously she thinks that her "best me" is a mini Joan Rivers.......I have nothing against plastic surgery but wow, she went WAY TOO FAR.............

I can't believe she's onlyl 23 years old and did this to herself...it makes me sick to my stomach. I think she definitely looks worse, not to mention about 20 years older. It's sad that she felt she had to do this...and the effects are irreversible!

How sad and pathetic. I think she's too stupid to realize that this People 'cover' is making her look like an extreme loser. She keeps referencing Britney Spears, but, again, her extreme stupidity prevents her from realizing that when Britney was in her prime, it was because of her catchy SONGS that made her famous, not the size of her tits. And, news flash, Britney's girl next door looks added to her appeal. She did NOT look like a porno star. Even in her darkest hour, Britney didn't feel the need to get triple D-sized boobs. At the end of the day, Britney can actually dance and perform her ass off. And talent my dear Heidi, is something that you cannot buy or change with plastic surgery. It's obvs that Heidi is delusional. I hope that after this 15 minutes that this People cover provides, she & Spencer will just go away for good.

She was such a pretty girl in season one of The Hills, I don't get why she felt the need to get all this surgery. And what in the world did she get LIPOSCUTIONED? She had no fat on her in the first place. What is wrong with the doctor who is doing this to her? With every surgery, she's become LESS attractive. Maybe she has that body dysmorphic (sp?) disorder cuz everyone else sees that she looks worse, but she wants more surgery. She doesn't even look like herself anymore, she looks like every other over surgeried bleach blonde playboy model.

Popular Coach Tours
Sit back, relax and experience the world unfold
This world of ours is a big old place and it can often be a little stressful to navigate, which is definitely not what you want to be feeling while on holiday! Fortunately, bus and coach tours are available to take the stress out of cross- and inter-country travel, while providing the same memorable experiences of self-driving travel. Don't mistake these tours as the kind that only let you see the sights from the window seats. Buses and coaches are merely a means of reaching your exciting destinations without the hassles of hiring cars, going through customs and God-forbid dealing with unfortunate accidents.
The destination is completely up to you and although it might be different to someone else's, the moments you spend there are guaranteed to be just as life-lasting. Tossing tomatoes at strangers and friends in Spain's La Tomatina festival, enjoying the sights, sounds and tastes of Italy, and sailing on the picturesque waters in Croatia are just some of the incredible experiences you can have while on one of Flight Centre's bus and coach tours. It certainly helps having a knowledgeable guide in the weird and wonderful corners of the world who can speak the local language and knows what places to see and which ones to avoid.
Of course it can be just as difficult making your way around our great land as anywhere else in the world. With its pristine desert locations and hidden coastal paradises, Australia can often be explored without seeing significant parts of what makes this country great. Flight Centre's local bus and coach tours can help you see everything from historic Aboriginal rock art sites to one of the nation's treasures, the Great Barrier Reef. Find the places, sights and experiences that travellers before you have missed. Browse through the popular tours below or contact a Flight Centre consultant.

This week President Obama praised a bipartisan immigration plan that would address the issue of 11 million undocumented immigrants. Six years ago, President George W.

What are your New Year's resolutions?
Last year, Sajeesh Ragavan posted this question at http://www.ted.com/profiles/933068
Now, having made it through the 21st of December, 2012, it seems like exactly the right time to post it again!
I've been inspired by Dr Mike Evans short video about how much more successful New Year's resolutions tend to be compared with making resolutions at other times of year. Just posted a TEDed and would welcome your thoughts and feedback: http://ed.ted.com/on/cu5IwKY6
Happy New Year!!!

Marilyn RossJan 10 2013: I seldom make NY resolutions, but this one feels imperative to me- something to keep me from drowning in the mire of hopelessly negative world news. So here it is, 10 days late- but my resolution is to view something on TED at least once a day, kind of like wearing a life preserver! And I don't think it will be hard to keep this one.

Impeccably maintained home, incredible location
Photos can hardly do the property justice; the home and the views are breathtaking. The house was sparkling clean and well appointed with everything we needed to have a wonderful Labor Day Weekend (and a great birthday for my husband!). Waking up to the Pacific from the loft bedroom is an incredible joy. From the expansive decks and Cliffside hot tub, to the private gated drive and beautiful gardens, I can only compliment the owners on every detail. We had a getaway we will never forget!
Peace & Quiet
This was our first stay at the Irish Beach House and everything was perfect. The house was immaculate, comfortable and suitably equipped. You have all the comforts of home. The ocean view was spectacular and the night sky unbelievable! We saw hummingbirds and deer and the private beach was lovely. I can't wait to return. Manchester is 3 miles away with a good grocery store and stocked with fresh caught salmon. I highly recommend this house if you are looking for tranquility. We never once turned on the TV and didn't miss it. The view is better than anything you could possibly want to see.
Family Stay
We had a great experience at karagatan for just a two night stay. Loved the deck with wine in the evenings....well appointed kitchen, though we didn't cook much, just enjoyed our left overs from a few lunch experiences. Views and beach were wonderful. Added a "rock" to the fireplace. Think it may be a tradition. Beds were fabulous!

Hartnell College Students to Study in New York City as Boronda Scholars
April 21st, 2006
Four Hartnell College students will study in New York City June 6-17 where they will be immersed in the cultural and historical aspects of the city.
The students selected for the Boronda International Study Program are Kathrine Cagat, Arturo Coronel, Edward K. King, all of Salinas; and Ricardo Fernandez of Marina.
Dan Petersen, Hartnell English professor, is the instructor for the program and the will accompany the students to the east coast. "New York is truly one of the great cultural centers of the world," Petersen said, "and this trip will give students a real feel of that through museum visits, concerts, theater experiences as well as guided historical tours."
Specifically, some of the highlights of the trip will be visits to the Whitney Museum of American Art, the American Museum of National History, the Guggenheim Museum, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art; performances at the Metropolitan Opera and Carnegie Hall; and tours of Harlem and Central Park.
Students in the program have been awarded scholarships that the late Lester Boronda, a Monterey County artist, established in memory of his parents. In his will, Boronda stated that the recipients of the scholarships must be " students of unusual promise in the arts, namely painting, sculpture, architecture, literature, drama, music or dance."
Additional funding for the program comes from the International Scholars Program provided by the college's scholarship endowments.
In addition to the June trip, students are enrolled in a Boronda International Study course this spring to learn more about the cultural aspects of New York City.
In the Boronda's program's 21-year history, students have studied in Japan, Taiwan, Hungary, China, England, Spain, Guatemala, Argentina and other countries.
For more information about the Boronda International Program, call Dan Petersen at (831) 755-6953.

Bella Italia! Italy has Europe's richest, craziest culture. After all, this nation is the cradle of European civilization — established by the Roman Empire and carried on by the Roman Catholic Church. As you explore Italy, you'll stand face-to-face with some of the world's most iconic images from this 2,000-year history: the Colosseum of Ancient Rome, the medieval Leaning Tower of Pisa, Michelangelo's David and Botticelli's Venus, the playful Baroque exuberance of the Trevi Fountain...and the elegant decay that surrounds the canals of Venice. Beyond these famous sights, though, Italy offers Europe's richest culture. Traditions still live within a country that is vibrant and fully modern. Go with an eye open to both the Italy of the past and of the present.
At a Glance
▲▲▲ Venice Romantic island city, powerful in medieval times; famous for St. Mark's Basilica, the Grand Canal, and singing gondoliers.
▲▲▲ The Cinque Terre Five idyllic Riviera hamlets along a rugged coastline (and part of a national park), connected by scenic hiking trails and dotted with beaches.
▲▲▲ Florence The cradle of the Renaissance, with the world-class Uffizi Gallery, Brunelleschi's dome-topped Duomo, Michelangelo's David, and Italy's best gelato.
▲▲▲ Siena Florence's smaller and (some say) more appealing rival, with its grand Il Campo square and striking striped cathedral.
▲▲▲ Rome Italy's capital, the Eternal City, studded with Roman remnants (Forum, Colosseum, Pantheon), romantic floodlit-fountain squares, and the Vatican — home to one of Italy's top museums and the Sistine Chapel.
▲▲ Milan Powerhouse city of commerce and fashion, with the prestigious La Scala opera house, Leonardo's The Last Supper, and three airports.
▲▲ Hill Towns of Central Italy Picturesque, wine-soaked villages of Italy's heartland, including San Gimignano, Volterra, Montalcino, Pienza, Montepulciano, and Cortona.
▲▲ Assisi St. Francis' hometown, perched on a hillside, with a divinely Giotto-decorated basilica.
▲▲ Orvieto and Civita More hill-town adventures, featuring Orvieto's classic views and ornate cathedral plus the adorable pocket-sized village of Civita di Bagnoregio.
▲▲ Naples Gritty, in-love-with-life port city featuring vibrant street life and a top archaeological museum.
▲ Near Venice Several interesting towns: Padua (with Giotto's gloriously frescoed Scrovegni Chapel), Verona (Roman amphitheater plus Romeo and Juliet sights), and Ravenna (top Byzantine mosaics).
▲ The Dolomites Italy's rugged rooftop with a Germanic flair, featuring Bolzano (home of Ötzi the Iceman), Castelrotto (charming village), and Alpe di Siusi (alpine meadows laced with lifts and hiking trails).
▲ The Lakes Two relaxing lakes, each with low-key resort towns and a mountainous backdrop: Lake Como, with quaint Varenna and upscale Bellagio; and Lake Maggiore, with straightforward Stresa, manicured islands, and elegant villas.
▲ Pisa and Lucca Two classic towns: Pisa, with its famous Leaning Tower and surrounding Field of Miracles, and Lucca, with a charming walled old center.
▲ Pompeii and Nearby Famous ruins of the ancient towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum, stopped in their tracks by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.
▲ Sorrento and Capri The seaside resort port of Sorrento, and a short cruise away, the jet-set island getaway of Capri, with its Blue Grotto.
▲ Amalfi Coast and Paestum String of seafront villages — including hilly Positano and workaday Amalfi — tied together by a scenic mountainous coastal road, plus nearby Paestum, with its well-preserved ancient Greek temples.
Riviera Towns near the Cinque Terre More Italian Riviera fun, including the beach towns of Levanto, Sestri Levante, the larger Santa Margherita Ligure, and trendier Portofino nearby, and to the south, resorty Portovenere and workaday La Spezia (transportation hub).

In nasty elevation trails I struggled more but that's user error. This thing is nicely executed. The description doesn't include it currently but of the 2 pieces that I bought (for my XC300 as well) both came with 3 mounting holes to allow you to adjust placement. I tried the rear setting & I'm going to move them forward to see if I have less occurrences of unintended breaking when my foot slips etc. I REALLY feel pretty good about spending this money & that's not something I can say oftenRead All Reviews
