1956 was the year that some hillbilly truck driver with the unlikely name of Elvis Presley kickstarted rock ’n’ roll with a his jumpy, jittery, hiccupy versions of Carl Perkins, Little Richard, Ray Charles, Otis Blackwell, Big Joe Turner, old-time country music, blues and standards his mother would love. Everything was instinctual. His singular genius—similar to that of Billie Holiday—was so ingrained in his very being, that he had no idea what he was doing. He just knew what felt good.

In 2006, SeaWorld agreed to lend 4-year-old Ikaika to Marineland to use in its breeding program, in exchange for the loan of four beluga whales, the QMI Agency reported. Marineland has only one other killer whale.

"We set out to create an experience that customizes new car information for the unique ways iPad users interact with Cars.com – and not simply adapting our popular Cars.com app for iPhone®," said Sharon Knitter, Cars.com senior director of mobile technology. "On a dealer lot or even at work, most of our mobile users shop with our app for iPhone or Android™ to gather information on price, availability and inventory – elements which are more commonly suited for 'on-the-go' shopping. iPad users, on the other hand, tend to concentrate more on photos, videos and new car content like reviews and specs, which is why our new Cars.com app for iPad specifically focuses on those features."
The Managing Editor of Glass’s, Adrian Rushmore, recently gave his opinions on what the car market could look like in the months to come.
He said “To some extent history is always repeated in the final quarter because there are the same elements in the mix.”
He added that September usually accounted for up to 17% of car sales for the year, with a surge of fleet purchases and part-exchanges.

If gold is hot, con artists play up gold. So now that we're seeing some record-high prices for used cars, why not a used car scam?
Used cars continue to be popular, thanks to sluggish new car sales during the Great Recession and the reduced production levels during the quick-fix auto bankruptcies in 2009. The recession cut into pocketbooks and boosted demand for used cars.
There’s nothing I hate more than listening to the little pitter patter of unsupervised children running around squealing at a low-cost pizza buffet.
Ultimately, the sadness in your gut from the cardboard crust that has lodged itself sideways in your esophagus is only topped by the sadness in your soul over the lack of attention from the tired parents who just want to “enjoy” their all-you-can-eat respite from cooking at home. Alas, we cannot also forget the sadness in your ears upon the insistent screech of a fallen or ignored or — worse — wet child.
A Niagara Falls girl won YTV show last season - can lightning strike twice? By JOHN LAW, NIAGARA FALLS REVIEW Updated 9 hours ago
Before she started filming Season 3 of YTV's competitive reality show In Real Life, Niagara Falls teen Ashley Hawkins asked an expert for advice.
That would be Tea Vlatkovic … the Niagara Falls teen who merely won the show last year.

Sept. 26 (Bloomberg) -- Can U.S. citizens count on using the Internet and cell-phone networks to communicate in high-stress situations? The Federal Communications Commission is about to examine that question. Public interest and the law both require that channels stay open.
At issue is the termination of cell-phone service by San Francisco’s Bay Area Rapid Transit system on Aug. 11. It acted to thwart a protest about a shooting of a passenger by BART police. A host of consumer advocates and digital civil-rights groups have filed an emergency petition, asking the FCC to step in.

," based on David Wong's novel. This is his first new work since his 2005 "Masters of Horror" episode and exciting news for his fans. Here's the trailer.
Horror fans have been enamored with director Don Coscarelli since he gave us The Tall Man and that crazy bladed ball in 1979's "Phantasm." Then he cemented that relationship with the brilliant "Bubba Ho-Tep" featuring Bruce Campbell as an aged Elvis Presley. But Coscarelli has been creatively silent for too many years so the arrival of the trailer for "John Dies at the End" is a real treat. Of course it also made me jealous of all those people at Fantastic Fest enjoying many more treats than just this.

With the economy where it is, drivers are keeping their current vehicle. As for those who must get another, used is more popular these days. This will help you find the right one for the right price.
Dealerships, used car lots, private sellers, and auctions are the primary places to buy the used car you want. Dealerships sell certified used which is a good way to go since they usually offer a warranty with it. They do vigorous inspections on cars which is good, although it does come with a higher price tag. Used car lots are cheaper and also a good way to go. Look into its reputation to see what past buyers thought of it. Many of them usually offer a 30 day to 1 year warranty. They usually just put it through a state inspection in order to sell them which is only a safety inspection. It could very well have leaks, cosmetic damage, and even transmission or engine issues and still be sold. Private sellers and auctions are a 50/50 shot of getting a decent car or a nightmare. You are relying on the seller to be honest about what kind of shape the car is in. A lot of times they sell “as is” which means it hasn’t been inspected. The price is much cheaper but after any repairs, to make it road ready could cost hundreds or even thousands.
Edmunds.com revealed late last week that it has updated its Android smartphone app to include more used-car pricing information.
