Beach Beauty Ca King Salon

A friend of mine has often said that women in the South believe they can say anything they want to about anyone as long as they say, "Bless their hearts" afterward.The first time I heard her say that, I didn't think much about it. Later, I started noticing how true that seems to be even for this writer. Here are a few things I heard just recently:"That Johnny can't seem to stay away from the women...bless his heart.""She is the messiest housekeeper I've ever seen...bless her heart." Or"She is so unorganized she would mess up a one-car funeral....bless her heart."I was thinking about that when I got this e-mail from a friend about Southerners in general. I find it very funny and hope you do as well.

'Born Standing Up' by Steve Martin

THERE is a YouTube video, shot at a Lincoln Center tribute to Diane Keaton earlier this year, in which Steve Martin comes onstage with his banjo and plays a sweet, twangy melody called "Father's Pride." The music is winsome and his execution heartfelt. After a few seconds, a rumble of laughter rolls up from the crowd. Then it dies. The audience can't seem to resolve the humorous visual cue of the banjo-wielding Martin with the sincerity of his song.

Martin's memoir, "Born Standing Up: A Comic's Life," will similarly confuse those who come to it looking for laughs. It is a mostly unfunny yet oddly stirring book about the comedian's early life, beginning with his boyhood before moving through his 20s and on up to 1982, when he hung up his balloon hat and quit doing stand-up for good.

'House’ Wins Night; ‘Cane’ Halts Descent

You know that scene in action movies where the hero is trapped in a flooding room, the water has risen to his head, he's up against the ceiling and straining to breathe inside that last couple inches of air?

Otherwise, Fox won the night with “Bones" (3.2 and on par) and “House" (7.0, down 8 percent from last week).

Ostrander takes up familiar role against Irish

When Notre Dame visited Stanford Stadium two seasons ago, Cardinal quarterback T.C. Ostrander was in the same role he'll be in today against the Irish: a backup. But that didn't prevent Ostrander from almost engineering a stunning comeback.

It was Ostrander who replaced an injured Trent Edwards in the second half and led Stanford to a go-ahead touchdown with 1:46 left - only to see the Irish pull it out.

So much has changed since then. Notre Dame (2-9) has gone from BCS contender to national punchline, Stanford Stadium has undergone a makeover and Jim Harbaugh - not Walt Harris - is calling the shots for the Cardinal.

But Ostrander's role is the same, although that wasn't his intention. The fifth-year senior lost his starting job when Tavita Pritchard led the Cardinal to one of college football's all-time upsets, 24-23 over USC.
