Santa Barbara is often referred to as the "American Riviera" – a place that conjures up images of waves, spas, beachfront dining and, of course, the perfect glass of wine.  Wine lovers looking for the fresh, modern style of Santa Barbara County will be delighted with these high-quality, luxurious wines.

Santa Barbara County has joined Napa and Sonoma as one of California's most prestigious wine regions. "This is the most exciting place in the world to be growing grapes," says Don Ackerman, General Manager Central Coast Vineyards for Santa Barbara Wine Company. "Our climate and our soils are proving to be ideal for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. For a relatively young region we are already producing great wines, and the potential in our vineyards clearly points to a tremendous future," he added.

The Santa Barbara Wine Company wines come from two exceptional vineyards situated on the Central Coast. In the Los Alamos subregion of Santa Barbara County, the Cat Canyon Vineyard provides the backbone for the Chardonnay. The vineyard's cool climate, combined with sustainable farming practices, produces vibrant, fruit-driven Chardonnay. This wine is crafted in a refreshing style, with limited oak treatment and minimal malolactic fermentation, and retails for $17.

The Santa Barbara Wine Company Pinot Noir is sourced entirely from the North Canyon Vineyard, which is located adjacent to one of the most famous vineyards on the Central Coast, Bien Nacido. The Cuyama River runs alongside the vineyard, and, with its maritime influence from the Pacific Ocean, the vineyard produces elegant and expressive Pinot Noir. The wine offers vibrant strawberry and cherry aromas with racy acidity, making this a very food friendly Pinot Noir, which retails for $20.

Opened in January 2010, the 49-hectare Resorts World Sentosa is Singapore's first integrated family resort destination, complete with Southeast Asia's first and only Universal Studios theme park, the world's largest Marine Life Park, six unique hotels offering 1,800 rooms, more than 60 dining outlets and a casino.

Hard Rock properties offer stylish and contemporary design, unparalleled service and the thread that unites them all - music. The properties are situated in resort destinations with unique character and tourist appeal as well as in urban gateway cities. Hard Rock Hotels cater to the evolving and distinctive needs of today's experienced, modern travelers, who seek a reprieve from traditional, predictable properties, whether for business or leisure travel. 

"The highly anticipated Hard Rock Hotel Singapore is a welcome addition to the Hard Rock Hotel portfolio," says Hamish Dodds, President and Chief Executive Officer, Hard Rock International.  "This development and our relationship with Genting Group and Resorts World complement Hard Rock Hotel's expansion strategy in premier locations worldwide, and will serve as a perfect backdrop for the continued growth of Hard Rock's portfolio."

The Hard Rock Hotel Singapore, a nearly $223 million venture, is one of six unique destination hotels at Resorts World Sentosa, which include Festive Hotel, Crockfords Tower, Hotel Michael, Equarius Hotel and Spa Villas. The hotel offers 360 keys (including nine suites and 351 rooms), modern conference facilities with 26 meeting rooms and Asia's largest column-free ballrooms with seating for 7,300 guests.  Featuring the latest in audio-visual equipment, the ballroom will be an ideal venue for concerts, seminars, performances and banquets and can be further subdivided into smaller ballrooms or separate conference halls for more intimate affairs.  The Rock Pool, a quintessential Hard Rock element, is a focal area for both music and relaxation, as well as a social gathering place.

The Hard Rock Hotel guest rooms incorporate Hard Rock's tradition of providing luxury, quality service and amenities with a distinctive music edge.   A retreat for chic jet-setters, Hard Rock Hotel Singapore is also the perfect family destination.  Deluxe twin rooms can accommodate up to five guests, with an extra pull-out bed for kids.

The hotel offers destination dining venues and high-energy bar locations providing both locals and hotel guests a place to see and be seen. Starz Restaurant, a stylish modern restaurant designed in contemporary style, offers a relaxing al fresco dining area overlooking the Rock Pool.  Inspired by the healthy and energetic lifestyle of Singapore, the restaurant's buffet-style dining with live cooking stations complements an A la Carte menu with the culinary flavors of Morocco, Europe, Middle East and Australia.  The Rock Bar, located on the second level of the hotel, is a trendy lounge and bar complete with a DJ spinning rock and techno music.  The menu features a selection of premium wines, liquors and champagnes, as well as Hard Rock's famous cocktails.  Finally, the award-winning Rang Mahal Group's latest dining concept of Indian cuisine is housed at the Hard Rock Hotel Singapore.  With the dining mood and decor inspired by the colorful celebrations of India using vivid colors and ethnic Indian instruments, the stylish restaurant pays tribute to "a celebration of Indian cuisine" with its menu highlighting classical Indian favorites as well as new, trendy dishes that embody the new generation of fusion flavors.

Chief Executive Officer of Resorts World Sentosa, Mr. Tan Hee Teck said, "We are excited to welcome our guests to the renowned Hard Rock Hotel in Singapore.  As a family destination with two of Asia's largest attractions, Universal Studios Singapore and the Marine Life Park, we believe that Hard Rock Hotel adds not only sizzle to our appeal, but excitement to accommodation options in the region.''   

"The Seminole Tribe of Florida is excited about the opening of our newest Hard Rock development in Southeast Asia," noted Jim Allen, CEO of Seminole Gaming and Chairman of Hard Rock International. "It's a testament to the brand that we have such incredible strategic partners and ample opportunity for global growth in emerging locations."

In the last week GlaxoSmithKline has had a PR crisis on their hands as the story broke that counterfeit alli, the over the counter weight loss drug, was being sold on eBay. While many times counterfeit anything is made to be similar to the real thing, there is one major difference with the counterfeit diet pill: it contains sibutramine. Sibutramine is something that is typically the ingredient in Dr. prescribed weight loss medications, therefore it can be dangerous to the health of those who unknowingly take it.

GSK has already begun to take steps to warn the public by the alert posted on their main website. They are working closely with eBay to deal with this issue and news outlets are beginning to spread the story.

Here are some PR suggestions to what other things they need to do during this time:

The Snack Food Association (SFA) reports that Super Bowl fans consume 11 million pounds of potato chips and 3.8 million pounds of popcorn each year — but don't let these stats get you down. On February 7, while everyone else loads up on potato chips, pizza and beer, sneak away during halftime and try Marta's 30-minute Super Bowl Halftime Workout."I designed the Super Bowl Halftime Workout because it's simple, and anyone — including families, roommates, or couples — can burn a quick 120 calories during halftime," said Marta Montenegro, editor-in-chief of SOBeFiT Magazine and creator of the upcoming fitness DVD series MM21, available for purchase in March. The 30-minute Super Bowl Halftime Workout consists of moves and circuits that work several muscle groups for an efficient strength/cardio workout. However, equally as important is the food we consume. Marta advises to watch portions, and replace foods like potato chips and dips with veggies and low-fat or Greek yogurt dips. And try popcorn minus the oil and butter; instead, sprinkle with chocolate powder or cinnamon for a sweeter taste. "You're likely to eat more than half your daily food intake during Super Bowl Sunday, so get creative in the kitchen," continues Marta. "I make whole-wheat pizza with veggies and top with chicken for lean protein, and serve light beer to guests, if they don't mind."This total body workout should be repeated three times for a total of 21 minutes. After each circuit, take a three-minute break and then repeat two more times. Total workout: 30 minutes.1. Burpees (1 minute):      a. Start in frog position, then kick legs back      b. Return to frog and jump upward      c. Land softly with knees slightly bent  2. Knee Raises (1 minute)  3. Squats with Pulses (1 minute):      a. From standing position, go down and squat      b. Keep chest up, back straight, and knees at a 90 degree angle from floor      c. Hold at the bottom for 5 short pulses  4. Knee Raises (1 minute)  5. Push-Ups (1 minute):      a.
