Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
Travel Better.
Tablet Plus
Cassa 45th Street
70 West 45th Street, New York City, NY, USA
Neighborhood: Manhattan - Midtown
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
New York is a tough place to open a hotel, and it's often the case that the most successful hotels are the ones that manage to stay focused. Viceroy Hotel Group's first foray into New York is a surprisingly simple affair — the Cassa 45th Street, located three streets to the north of Bryant Park, is a new build, a mix of rooms and residences in the modern vein, and very little else. There's Butter, the fine market-driven restaurant by the celebrity-chef Alex Guarnaschelli, but for the most part Cassa 45th Street is simply a stylish and fairly luxe lodging, in contrast with the usual Viceroy modus operandi of full-featured lifestyle resorts offering everything under one roof.
Well, the Cassa 45th Street name is a clue, perhaps, that this is something different. And in Midtown Manhattan, particularly, there's no need to keep it all under a single roof. If you can't find it within ten minutes' walk of here, it probably doesn't exist anyway. And what is under this roof puts quite a lot of New York's rooms and suites to shame. This is the mix of modern minimalism and classic rich-toned Gotham that every interior designer in the city has at some point been asked to deliver — this time, at least, they got it just right. Add little touches like Frette bathrobes and Neil George bath products and you know you're onto something good.

What I liked:
The staff goes above and beyond. The location is wonderfully central. The WiFi signal is strong & constant. The bed and linens VICEROY quality!

What I liked:
Large room by NYC standards. Service was perfect - inquiring about the right things at the right time without ever seeming pushy (or disinterested).
What the hotel could do better:
Nothing, had a wonderful stay! Though it's great as is, the room was a bit plain (bathroom was perfect tho) - could use more interesting decor. However, everything else is just great.

Cee-Lo Green - Silent Night
Artist: Cee-Lo Green
Producer: Peer Astrom, Alex Anders and Kerstin Thorn
Album: Cee Lo's Magic Moment
Avg Rating: 3.3 ( 9 votes )
Cee-Lo Green is already one of the biggest fish in today's musical pond, but the ATL veteran's angling for more than just temporary, chart-topping success; he wants to inscribe his name in the book of pop legends. To that end, he's following in the footsteps of so many stars before him and releasing an LP of reinterpreted holiday standards. For the latest song release off the project, Cee-Lo offers a reverent rendition of Silent Night, showcasing his powerful pipes over Peer Astrom, Alex Anders and Kerstin Thorn majestic instrumental arrangement. Adam Donald provides some tongue-in-cheek, slo-mo visuals to accompany the sweeping cut. Due out October 30, via Elektra, Cee-Lo's Magic Moment can be pre-ordered here.

He never came...
John V.
quick response and great job done!
Paul G.
Great work!
Josef G.
I have hired Mr. Rogers 5 times now. Every single time I have had the job requested...done right. Most times the crew gives me "bonus" work clipping hedges! Wow. Always friendly and reasonable price.
Jan R.
Bullshit! He never show up! He has no integrity.
William Z.
Poor quality work, hedges were uneven. A bush in the front was completely missed. Didn't even touch the trees like I asked. Would not recommend them or use them again.
I should have known when he said he could give me an estimate over the phone based off my zip code...
Erin G.
I never give a bid off your zip code I give a bid for lawn mowing off from an aerial map view as far as tree trimming goes you cannot expect me to do the job that your wife tells me to do and then you come home and want something different done. now you've wasted my time. But yet if you call me I wil. if you tell me what you want done and I do it and I price it according to that you cannot expect me to come out and do more work for free of charge because you weren't there. and as I always say I will back my work 100% if you feel you have the time I will meet you at any time to make things right
We needed a tough project done quickly. Randy and his crew were very professional and did an outstanding job. Reasonable pricing and speedy service. We will definitely keep him in mind for future projects. Thanks Randy!
Dvid G.
We rate you as outstanding. Great job and fair price. $80.00 for the first time and explained that it would be less the next time. $40.00? or less hopefully so I can afford it. Thanks so much. Excellent work in a very timely manner and very professional and quality work.
Robert T.
I talked with Randy at about 6 pm Monday night about getting my yard mowed ASAP so my realtor could come and take pictures. His crew called me at 0800 the next morning with a quote and they were at my house ready to go. They did an amazing job and I would recommend them 100 percent! Thank you so much for all of the hard work your team did!!
Amy M.
Very professional and responsive. However, last mowing noticed several circular brown spots on lawn. Mowers need adjustment for my lawn?😎
Peter V.
Amber R.
Delivered and installed mulch. Staff worked through rain to get installed by day's end. Looks great!
Robert (.
I contacted the service after "hiring" for lawn care. I never heard back from the company.....
Michael J.
Thanks Randy!
Robyn R.
Jennifer S.
Came out immediately, went about the work promised at a fair price. Did good work on a difficult lawn job and trimming.
Richard V.
Leanne B.
On time and finished the job in a quickly time manner..
Sandra C.
Randy has been VERY responsive both leading up to and following my first service with him. I have some very picky expectations, and he was very open to my requests and responded to my voicemail very quickly. I will definitely be using him again.
Kate N.
Dina A.
They came out and mowed my 4 acre land the next day! They will be called again when my lawn needs another cut!! Thanks Mr. Rogers. Great working with you and you co.
Adam N.
Philip P.
The best fastest least expensive!
Steve B.
Randy"s team was punctual And did a great job, mowing edging and hedging
I also got the lawn weed and feed treatment
I will use him again and recommend him
Uday S.
Stacey W.
Racheal C.
Chris B.
He was on time, courteous, and professional. His team did a great job on the lawn and cleanup in just a short time. I hired him on a more permanent basis.
Jacque G.
They did a fast and good job (left some areas uneven) a bit over priced. The only thing that I hated was the use of pay pal. Looking for other services.
Johnny J.
Carlos G.
Beautiful work: hired for lawn maintenance. I will definitely be a return customer! Thank you Rogers lawn service!
Teresa R.
The crew was all business and completed the work in a quick and efficient manner. The yard looks 100% better. I would recommend them to anyone needing their lawn and grounds serviced.
Danny P.
The original people I hired from a different company never showed up so I called Randy with my Easter weekend emergency! He bumped me first on his list and was able to save the day because my yard was a crazy jungle!!! I had people in town for the holiday and they were awesome! Great personality and even took some old items out of the yard I no longer needed!!! Thanks again randy!!!!
Samantha W.
Outstanding Job by Roger..! All weed was killed, even though it took several treatments, because the front and back yard was overwhelmly cover by weed. My grass is green again and the weed is gone, thank God...! Excellent Work Roger and all your staff. Thanks so much
Luis M.
Rogers' Lawn Service was very quick with their job! I got a phone call from them telling me that they were at my property, I went to pick up my payment, and by the time I got to my property they were done. They were cost effective and fast, and most of all, they were very friendly. I will definitely hire them again.
Charley M.
First person to reply on this site, scheduled lawn service for Saturday at 2pm. Never showed up, never called to reschedule. Seems to be consistent reviews with other customers experiencing the same circumstances. Don't be deceived by the fast response. I would not use this service.
Amanda T.
Did not meet my expectations in terms of pricing, professionalism and enthusiasm. Also left out mowing half of easement which we noticed after they left
Srinath R.
Alan C.
They did a great job at a reasonable price, but they did not come by at the time they originally stated they would. It wasn't a big deal for me, but it's something to keep in mind if you're on a tight schedule
Anna B.
Communicated very well so that expectations were laid out from the start. They did a great job with the lawn. Good price for the job (my lot is on close to a third of an acre).
Fia Y.
Very smooth experience with Rogers Lawn Service. I needed someone to tame my overgrown lawn and when another vendor promised to come out and never showed, Rogers was quick to help me with my needs...I wish I had contacted them first! They came out within 48 hours of my first contact with them, and did an exceptional job. I was very pleased, and I am considering hiring them on for regular service.
Cory W.
Fast service~ friendly people~ They get the job done well.
Amy S.
Randy and his crew showed up at the scheduled time and date and provided outstanding service. They answered all my questions and provided a game plan to get my lawn back on track ... Thx
Gina Z.
I will no longer be using their services.
Samuel B.
Very quick and efficient. And a fair price too. I will def continue to do business with them
Senisa W.
I posted a job late on Saturday night. Within ten minutes Randy was calling me to give me a quite and set up a time to come take a look at my yard and do the work. He said that his guys could make it out there Monday morning about 10am or 10:30. (I truly don't remember which time he said exactly.) At 12:30pm they still weren't here. I contacted Randy and he had his guys over within 30 minutes. Once they got here and did the work I was very happy. The lawn service was amazing. My yard had been a while since it's last cutting and they had a jungle to tame. When I arrived home I almost drove by the place because it looked that well done. I have since called Randy and set them up for regular maintenance. Very happy with the first go around, with the exception of being a little late. Everything was fixed and done well though. They will receive recommendations from me to my friends and neighbors.
Michael P.
I had arranged to have someone come out on Tuesday, Dec. 23 to give me an estimate, but I was not contacted until the next day, Wednesday, Dec. 24. The two workers who came over to give me an estimate were very courteous and professional. I did hire them, and they did a good job. My yard was looking quite ragged with all the fallen leaves from my 2 pecan trees, and now it looks 100% better.
Gwen L.
Rogers lawn service was hired to provide regular maintenance. They failed to keep to a schedule. They were unable to keep contact info and special notes. They let my dog get out and were not aware they had done that. They also were not consistent with quoted prices for services rendered. I will no longer be using their services.
Bill H.
I am truly sorry that my customer feels this way but if you do not give me your phone number I cannot contact you and yes dogs will get out sometimes and that is our mistake but we did retrieve the pet and put the pet back in the yard. If you were quoted $45 to do your lawn this does not mean that you call me and say I need leaves cleaned up and I come out and do it for free I am in a business to make money I am NOT the neighbor kid doing things for free. I try to offer a quality service and affordable prices. I do appreciate all of my customers and say thank you to everyone
Amy G.
Mr. Rogers was helpful and professional!
Atalie W.
Terrific service, reasonably-priced and reliable. Rogers Lawn Service is prompt and efficient, also very responsive. They are our regular mowers and also did some landscaping. Highly recommend them.
David K.
First person to contact me when looking for lawn service, never used this site; but since I'm overseas (Military) it's difficult to have family and friends up keep my obligations. I was surprised for such a fast response thinking the company is about service and work. Called Randy to have him go out to my house to give me an estimate and start lawn care (mowing/edging) stated he could hear me, my phone connection is not the greatest being overseas, called my sister to in Killeen to call Randy to let him know that I was the one who he couldn't hear and to set up the service and online payment option. Gave my address and email and still have not heard anything from him.
Bhrugesh P.
I don't understand how this could happen because I make a living taking care of my yards and I don't miss appointments other than if it's raining or if you did not give me your phone number and I could not contact you so is there something I can do to resolve this please let me know again I do not know what happened here becauseI don't know who you are
Great service! Showed up and did an excellent job. Received my invoice shortly thereafter via email. Quick and easy.
Carl D.
They came within 30 minutes after I gave them a call and were super friendly. We walked through the yard and talked about what needed to be done and he gave me a good price. I had to go to the store and by the time I was back they were done. Excellent job.
Michael R.
I needed the lawn done the day of my request. Not only did they accommodate me but they were courteous and gave me a very fair price. The job was done well and they were extremely efficient. I would definitely recommend this service.
Jason O.
Randy was awesome. He was quick with a very fair quote and went out the next morning first thing to complete the work. I had hedges done, lawn mowing, some fertilizing and weed killing. He even worked in the rain to get it done. It was awesome that I could pay online and I didn't have to be there for him to do it right. He also does handyman type work so I'll be calling him again. Good job, TeamRandy!
Donna R.
Randy and his team were very nice! I called at the last minute to get my overgrown yard mowed before a showing, Randy saved the day! He was very prompt and he and his crew were hard and fast. The yard is beautiful and the price was very fair. I would recommend Randy and his crew for future jobs. Thanks!
Kristen M.
Randy got back to me immediately and came out to quote and provide service the same day. His crew did an excellent job and I'm very satisfied with the work completed.
Jake T.
Randy and his crew were very professional, reasonable rates, and same day service. Awesome fast job. I would recommend his services.
Shawn-David D.
They were prompt and did an excellent job!
Jennifer B.
Randy's team saved the day, today. I called them a little before noon, when my weed eater broke, while doing the front yard. I was having company, and I needed my overgrown backyard done, right away. They showed up within the hour and took care of it for a very fair price. His crew was friendly and did a good job. I'll be using them again.
Renee H.
The crew did a great job. They were prompt and friendly.
Joseph B.
Jacob W.
He did call back promptly and gave me a quote. He was the first quote I got and I told him I just received another email and was going to call that person for a quote and his response was if I am going to look around then go with someone else. I found that very rude and would not recommend this company for this reason. I didn't give him a no, just I wanted to get one more quote at least!!!
Larry S.
If you call me and you want same day service and I tell you that it sounds like a $45 yard and you want to quibble over five or ten dollars then I suggest you find someone else because we do keep a very busy schedule I'm not trying to be rude I'm just trying to run a business thank you so much and God bless
Thank you so much! Great service!
Charles B.
Great Job!! Was very impressed with the work and the reasonable rate given the jungle that was our yard. Was very fast. Gave me an estimate and did the work the same day. Very satisfied customer!
Timothy M.
I should have read the reviews FIRST!! Always late, if they even show up. Quality of work is awful. Cuts grass so short it burns in the sun. Randy sits in his truck with the AC on while his workers (never the same team) do a a very poor job. In too many lines of business and not good at any of them.
Jilly J.
I'm sorry that you feel this way if there's anything I can do to resolve this please let me know but we try to do the best we can on every job we do and I'll do anything to do the job right as far as cutting the grass too low I would have to disagree being that we cut on the highest setting on every job
Great job and honest!! Was a little late but then again I Scheduled service last minute. I would defiantly use their services again.
Logan J.
I should have listened to the reviews of people saying this company is a constant no show because that is exactly what happened to me. I called needing a mow and edge for my house that is going onto the market and the first day I finally got a hold of him and he told me there was an emergency and he could get his crew to my house at 9-930 a.m tomorrow. Well, it's tomorrow and I called him and he said I was on his route and he will call me when he's on his way. I guess he doesn't want my business or his business to thrive since now it is 730 pm with no call. There are other people I'm sure that will actually come out and do the work they quoted so I wouldn't waste my time with this "company". Needless to say I need to hurry and find someone else to cut the yard in the morning.
Spencer C.
Called to get a quote and they were rude. There are a lot of lawn care companies, I would go with one that is a little more customer friendly and professional.
Bill T.
I do not know why someone would think I would be rude with them, that is not how we do business. Whoever wrote this feel free to contact me at anytime. I would definitely like to make things right with you. I do not understand why you feel this way God Bless
Dane G.
Randy responded quickly and got the job done ASAP within budget. His crew were very polite and professional. We will do business again.
Belinda R.
Came out as promised for a mowing quote and sent a crew out the same day. They worked fast in a yard full of rocks and stumps and got the job done. Missed a few sprigs of wild grass, but yard is 100% better than when they started. Will use again.
Kristi D.
William A.
Extremely courteous and quick to both answer and perform the service. We will utilize rogers again for any lawn care we need.
Nathan H.
Randy and his crew were aweso.e!! They were on time, friendly and professional. They worked hard and didnt leave until the job was complete. The price was quite reasonable too. I would use Randy Rogers and crew again and again.
Linda S.
He offered to mow my lawn while I'm out of town and send me pictures afterwards and a link to pay him online...so helpful and very convenient! Very friendly and customer-service oriented!
Norah L.
Save yourself the trouble and go with another company. Read below to see why!
The owner gave a quote over the phone that I accepted and stated they would be at my house the next morning. No show. We called in the afternoon and he stated they would come a little later and that he didn't have our phone number to call. Odd considering every cell phone has a number that appears on the phone. A few more hours pass by and it's close to the evening time.....no show. So we called again and then they stated they would be in at 8:30am Friday morning.
Friday morning comes and goes...and of course...another no show. So we called and they said they had car trouble but would be on there way. Four hours later, what do you think happened? You guessed it!.... Another no show. So I called and spoke to the owner and he stated that they couldn't find our address and went to the wrong house. So of course I ask, why didn't you just call us? His lame excuse of not having our phone number was used again after only the 7th time calling him. Give me a break, Mr. Business owner!
This time he said he'll send someone again and had the audacity to ask if we meet the guy somewhere so he can follow us. I told him "No, you have our phone number for sure this time, right. Can you confirm with me and you can have the guy call us and I can give him the extremely easy directions to get to our house." He confirmed my phone number with me and stated that he would have someone call me shortly.
What do you think happened? Come on....take a wild guess. No worker of his ever called and the owner never called. No one showed up, yet again. I was trying to give this small business owner a chance at gaining a new customer for a very long time. But his horrible business practice has only caused him to lose me and probably others after reading this review. Good job Randy Rogers. Way to do business!
Julie R.
first and foremost this is probably the BEST company I have ever dealt with..Not only did randy send his crew out the day he contacted they bid what i thought was very low so I paid more ..my yard looks fantastic then to add to the great service he checked with me the same night to make sure i was sastified i will re use this company and i will recommend to ALL MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY..thanks Randy for the same day service and GREAT JOB to Rick and the crew that came out
Nikki V.
Randy is punctual and very responsive. He did a great job in taking care of my lawn which had a lot of weed. Thank you Randy.
Harish R.
Incompetent. Full of excuses for his worthlessness. Need I say more. It seems he spends a lot of time on this site and not actually working. Please respond if you have the balls!
Wesley T.
I do not know who you are or what you are referring to but I always tell everyone you know my phone number. I'm always willing to work things out
I was disappointed with the service. He showed up very late and did a substandard job. The riding lawn more missed full corners and all around the trees and the trimming wasn't done to compensate so I have large tuffs of grass throughout my yard. Will not use again.
Sunny K.
I wish you would have called me, the riding mower actually broke and we're over here at a shop having it fixed right now the job was not complete
Took my money and ran. He was supposed to install some metal edging which was included in his proposal but never returned, even after several email exchanges. Besides that the the lawn seed / dressing he applied did absolutely nothing after his recommended watering. Only grass that grew in troubled areas is where I applied a small bag I purchased. I could have saved myself $400 by just picking up 10 bags of mulch from home depot. Beware!!!
Rick V.
I'm not sure who you are but feel free to call me my number is 857 4394. I will personally come out and install your piece of edging you .Occasionally we run behind and cant get a job in but we try to do things right and we appreciate the business we get so please give me a fair chance to try to make this right for you.
I found randy Rogers lawn service this morning through thumbtack. He immediately provided a response. Same day sent a crew over and took care of the job. Great job, fast service and professional. Thank you.
Nikki T.
Quick response once I filled out my profile. I did take a couple of days to respond but did set up a time to meet with him on Thursday between 12:30 and 1:30. Showed up late at 2:30 with no supplies, stated his guys would be back between 4:30 and 5:30. No show, he stated that his guys were really behind and would be at our house Friday at 11. I requested him to come after 2 since my husband wasn't available until then. He agreed and said he would call after two with the next available appointment. It is now 7:20 pm and I have not heard anything. Very disappointing after all of the good reviews I read.
Am L.
No show and didn't call me to let me know he couldn't make it for today.
Virginia R.
David K.
Contacted me within a hour of sending out a request. Showed up the next day and his crew stayed for a couple of hours fixing my yard! They were very friendly and I was happy with the service.
Rachael B.
Came out the next day for a quote and was able to do work the same day. Came back next business day to put down mulch. Good work, professional, quick and good communication.
Carolyn J.
Randy replied to my quote request with a personal visit to the property the very next day. He quoted me a fair price and came on the day specified. His crew did an excellent job and Randy was on site and actually did some of the work himself. I was pleased with the fact that they picked up any debris on the yard BEFORE they mowed which was not done by the previous company. I was pleased with his overall response and the work performed on the yard and the clean up afterward. Looking forward to continued work by this firm.
Jim Z.
I contacted Rogers Lawn Service and spoke to owner. He said he would be out on 02/28/14 to give bid and if accepted would perform service at that time, but assured me someone would be out on 02/28/14. He stated he was leaving on vacation, but one of his crew would be able to do the job. NEVER SHOWED, NEVER CALLED!
Stephen C.
He was quick to answer my request and did a fantastic job at a great price! All same day! Very impressive with the service and this site!

He trimmed my tree's and did not realize they need to be flush to the trunk, Along with all the twigs left behind so it would not grow promptly, back. Had to show him how to do that by a neighbor's home. I paid for removal of fabrication and re-fabrication. I watched as they via the old fabrication to the back of the fence with soil thinking, I would never notice. Never fabricating my yard. I did pay for that and then he stated why was it necessary.( no brainer I payed for it) I asked for something permanent with my dogs running by the fence. Then
caliche like and it would be red. He gave me red sand, then I asked for removal. Tried to convince me that this is red sand. I have orange sand with 16 red and white crape myrtles. Once you water it will be red, he stated.(No it will be a deep orange and certainly not permanent) The shrubs he took out still have the roots left of course they will grow back. I cleaned the street left branches, etc. I tried to work with him in removal of sand that he stated was red but really orange, either way, never would have approved of sand. Then asked for removal it would be my expense. Then I became degraded by stating I was bipolar, need to take my pills and see a psychiatrist along with that he would post my email, phone number and address. Also, my front strip was to be fabricated, he stated that it was made out of fibro glass and last twenty years. But I paid for fabrication. He stated some of the nobs off tree's could not be flush, it was impossible. However, I did find a professional that does not talk to customer's this way and get's the job done, correctly. Does not cheat, the customer. Randy, initially stated he needed 200$ down. He did a small portion of the job before he did the job. Then left me with the driveway and street clean up, calling me that we had showers for the next few days. (No rain) I cleaned up myself. when he realized things went sour asked for $600 so he could take care of his, boy's doing the work. I would say run and run fast. No body need's to be treated in this manner.
Michelle M.
I would like to state that I have tried to work it out with this customer she has been very difficult to work with during the job, she changed her mind four or five times on what shw wanted done and I gave her the address and phone number of where I bought the product and he showed me this was red sand needless to say I truly like to keep all my customers happy. She would not give me a chance to talk and make things right. She still owes me 425 dollars plus she kept my équipement. I only wanted to make her happy I really don't care about the money or the equipment I just don't like having an unsatisfied customer. God bless her
I requested a bid on Saturday. Received the quote on Sunday and had the work done the same day. Excellent work and less expensive than I thought it would be!! Thank you very much. Will definitely be a return customer.
Warren A.
Rogers' crew edged grass, raked leaves (a lot of leaves), applied weed killer to weeds, removed existing branch debris, and trimmed an annoying hedge. I am very satisfied with their work, and hiring them to aerate and apply Turf Builder too. Thanks, Randy, for doing what would have taken me a week to do on my own.
Mr. S.
They did a great job with the services they provided. They followed through with what they said they would do and the price was good. Will use again.
Alison M.
Rosie C.
I was contacted by Randy Rogers within an hour of posting my request on thumbtack. He was at my house the same day to offer me a quote for services. I called him the next morning to offer him the job and his employee, Bill, was at my door by noon. It took Bill a little over an hour to trim my very overgrown hedges. I was expecting them to look pretty bad as we had to trim about half of the growth. However, they look great. There are just a few bare spots. Bill was very friendly and worked diligently to ensure he did the best job possible. There were a few trimmings left in the driveway and the yard because he did not have a leaf blower with him but he cleaned up and hauled away most of them. Our front yard looks so much better and the prompt service was much appreciated.
Tamara N.
Charged way too much for lawn cutting and shrub/tree pruning service. Left all tree branches in my driveway. Randy promised to come back Sunday evening to pick up the branches and shrubs trash. The crew left some spots of high uncut lawn/grass.
John D.
Great job!
Beata C.
Randy Rogers did a great job on my lawn, was quick, professional and thorough. It was a little but more expensive than I thought it would be but they came on extremely short notice and that made it worth the little bit extra. Will definitely be using again!
Jamie L.
I would never spray grass killer on anything unless a client specifically asked me to. In this case I was asked to spray the grass killer and I warned them that it would leave spots on their lawn because that was going to kill everything w
if I sprayed it and they said to go ahead and do it. I'm rearlly sorry that they feel this way. Second of all I feel everyone deserves a second chance if there was an issue I was never told any issues
Mr. Rogers was prompt, courteous, and efficient; after I posted the request on Thumbtack, I got a response within a few minutes. The convenience came at a cost though, and Mr. Rogers overcharged me by quite a bit compared to past work orders I've requested from others.
Cheuk N.
Quick response, fast service and competitive quote along with same day service, would recommend to anyone who needs lawn service done. Helped me out! Thanks again!
Gabriel G.
He did grt job same day service good price ive used him twice and plan to keep using him
Mitch P.
I was in the hospital for a month and got out to find my lawns truly high. I needed to bring my dogs home from being boarded out but couldn't until the grass was cut. Yes, Rogers came right away, quoted me $175 and I okayed it. Never should have. Total miscommunication all the way around. He scalped a section of the yard; didn't edge the walkways, didn't blow the grass cuttings from anywhere and left 2 bags (which I provided) out on the street. I am now having to daily water the scalped section so it doesn't die out completely.
Will NEVER EVER use this service again. He really doesn't know the finer details of mowing.
Yvonne Z.
You only get one impression from me and that is the first one. I am very particular about my yard and I like things to be even and to get it right the first time. Staff was very nice. But quality of cut is uneven in many areas. Did not blow all cut grass on my property. I will not use service again :-(
Jonathan L.
Jim W.
Great service, Outstanding, affordable and friendly. Fast and clean.
Will call again... 4 stars from me
Maria H.
Terri T.
Randy Rogers was very nice and professional. Did a great job on the yard and gave a fair price. He also was cery quick to respond to my inquiry about services and quotes.
Cindy S.
I contacted Randy and within 2 days my lawn was done! He worked quickly and the quality was great!! Will definitely contact him again if we decide to set up a schedule!
Thanks Randy and crew!!
Yesenia M.
The work was well done.

A first for Filipino films: 3 nods in Asia-Pacific awards
Nominees are 'happy, proud' for country
The three nominations the Philippines received in this year's Asia-Pacific Screen Awards (APSA) signify that the country remains a strong contender in the international scene, said Filipino filmmaker Brillante Ma. Mendoza.
Brillante was nominated for best director for his Venice entry "Thy Womb," whose lead star Nora Aunor is in the running for best actress. Scriptwriter Chris Martinez, meanwhile, is vying for best screenplay for "Ang Babae sa Septic Tank."
Mendoza, who was in Ghent, Belgium, for a screening of "Captive" at the time of the announcement of nominations last Friday, told the Inquirer via SMS: "After having at least nine diverse films at the Busan fest (in South Korea), we got three nods in the region's top awards. This clearly proves that the country will continue to have a strong presence in world cinema. I'm proud and happy to be the first Filipino director to be recognized by the APSA in that category."
According to its website, the APSA, which was founded in 2007, seeks to "recognize and promote cinematic excellence and cultural diversity (in) the vast Asia-Pacific region … and is considered as the region's highest accolade in film."
This year's APSA awards ceremony will be held in Brisbane, Australia, on November 23.
Among the best
In 2008, Ishmael Bernal's "Himala," which starred Aunor, won the CNN APSA Viewers' Choice award for Best Asia-Pacific Film of All Time.
"These nominations are a source of pride for our country and countrymen," Aunor said in Filipino. "All these recognitions of the work and art of Filipinos are important. My nomination comes four years after 'Himala' won and it inspires me to work even harder. It warms my heart, especially since the honor comes from our fellow Asians."
"I feel more than validated," said screenwriter Martinez, who was earlier nominated for the same script at the Asian Film Awards in Hong Kong. "These nominations prove that our films and artists are among the best in the region."
Martinez hopes the citation will highlight the contributions of writers in local cinema. "Every great movie starts with great writing. It's my wish that the industry would give more importance to the written word. It's time screenwriters stop being invisible."
Martinez said that the entire "Septic" team—including actress Eugene Domingo and director Marlon Rivera—are "praying hard that we win."
Not just poverty
Joji Alonso, "Septic" producer, said that the nods "call attention to the country … that there is so much talent here, just waiting to be tapped. It also shows that there are other stories, apart from poverty, that we can share with the world."
The APSA citations prove "that there is still hope for the local film industry. That, if only we could all go out of the box, we would reach our prime much faster," said Alonso.
Alonso noted that when she first read the "Septic" script, she instantly knew that it would go places. "It's both real and surreal."
Martinez said that "Septic" has been making the rounds of international film fests "for over a year now. It will also be released theatrically in German- and French-speaking countries soon."
After its Venice, Toronto and Busan screenings, "Thy Womb" will compete in Goa, India, in November and in Dubai in December, Mendoza said. It will have its Austrian premiere at the Vienna fest on October 25 and will be shown in local theaters on November 28.

How the Rocky 1970s Gave Rise to Ronald Reagan
Wednesday, August 06, 2014
On today's show, Rick Perlstein discusses the political and economic turmoil of the 1970s, and the transition between Richard Nixon's downfall and the rise of Ronald Reagan. We'll get some practical advice for understanding cultural divides in a global world. Buzzfeed contributor Steven Thrasher tells the story of how Michael Johnson, a Missouri college wrestler, was tried and found guilty of infecting people with HIV. Joshua Wolf Shenk looks at the chemistry that makes creative partnerships, like Lennon and McCartney's, work.
The Hollywood Smile That Lifted the Conservative Brand
The controversies of Watergate and Vietnam, and the resignation of Richard Nixon, tempered America's patriotism... until Ronald Reagan came along.
Your Cultural Biases May Be Affecting Your Bottom Line
Even with English as a global language, it's easy for businesses to fall into cultural traps that endanger careers and sink deals. In The Culture Map: Breaking Through the Invisible Boundaries of Global Business, Erin Meyer provides a field-tested model for decoding how cultural differences impact international business.
Michael Johnson was Sexually Reckless, But Is He a Criminal?
steven-thrasherBuzzfeed contributor Steven Thrasher tells the story of how a college wrestler in Missouri named Michael Johnson—whose online name was Tiger Mandingo—was charged for "recklessly infect[ing] another with HIV," a felony. Thrasher's article "How College Wrestling Star "Tiger Mandingo" Became An HIV Scapegoat" appeared on Buzzfeed in July 7.
Just The Two Of Us: The Creative Power of Pairing Up
Famous creative duos—like John Lennon and Paul McCartney, Marie and Pierre Curie, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak—usually have a special chemistry. Joshua Wolf Shenk looks at how creative intimacy unfolds, and examines new scientific research into the foundations of creativity. In his book Powers of Two: Finding the Essence of Innovation in Creative Pairs, he reveals how pairs begin to talk, think, and even look like each other; how the most successful creative partners thrive on conflict; and why some duos flame out while others endure.

There it is. The finale to something that should never have been a trilogy in the first place. But hey, oodles of money can't be wrong. And the original Hangover made oodles of it. But it seems that no one on the production side of this venture really understood, or cares about what made the first one so good looking at the trailer for this, the third installment. Promising from the start, after the first scene it all slowly goes downhill then bursts into flames like the Hindenburg. I guess the one course correction in their mind from all this was, "Well, no one seemed to like Thailand so let's bring it back to Vegas. That is clearly the only thing that was wrong and we'll make tons of money and win more awards and it will be like the first one all over again." Seriously, it looked like making it over the top was the right way to go, and despite the incoherency which I warned about in "How to Judge a Movie by the Trailer," I was becoming optimistic. Then it happened. The last scene they showed. The stinger that is supposed to leave you laughing hardest so you remember what you just saw.
No. No. Just… no. Call me old fashioned, but that was not funny. It was horrible. Plain rotten. Is this some sort of formula for awful they are running on? Do they not get what made the tiger in the first one so funny or did they just think that since they ran with the animal jokes in the second one (along with the cruelty), that they should just go bigger here. In Django they killed horses. They killed several. But the tone was different. The setting was different. The context was different! It's kill or be killed in the deep south, so you have to harden yourself to the deeds that need to be done. In this, it seems the entire joke was up front. Zach Galifianakis' character Alan has a giraffe, it's killed causing a large traffic accident, and Alan makes a face. Nothing more. No greater substance other than a fool is given a giraffe and he decides to drive under a low bridge.
The reason the tiger worked is because that tiger showed just how crazy their rufilin induced haze of a bachelor party turned out to be. Then on top of that was having to figure out how to return it to its owner. The second one had a smoking monkey. That's the joke. Oh, and then it gets shot, but they take it to a doctor so it's alright, kinda. This is just unpleasant. I can see no greater context to this, no bigger picture where some life lesson or theme is touched on with the death of an animal caused by someone's stupidity. There are films that touch on the death of animals in mature and inspired ways, grim as the situation is. Animals in those stories tend to represent innocence or geniality, as they only tend to run on instinct with no greater reasoning behind their actions besides the fact that they just care. That's why fictitious or not, there is a problem with the way it was handled here. Context! That's what's missing. If in going to see this movie I find out that there is actually something important in Alan having a giraffe I will gladly eat my words on this. But I seriously doubt it.
I like Bradley Cooper. I like Ed Helms. I like Zach, Ken Jeong, Melissa McCarthy and John Goodman. They've all been in some great movies and television shows. I assume they'll be in great ones after this. But this, I can't get behind. It's in theaters May 24th. If you don't think it's that big of a deal since it's just a movie, go see it, have some very funny moments. I just can't get behind this.

FIGUEROA: Woods remains a shell of his former self
Golf fans will be getting an early Halloween treat this week when Tiger Woods tees off in the Frys.com Open up north at San Martin, marking his first appearance in the PGA Tour's Fall Series.
But these are scary times for the former top-ranked player, who has fallen out of the top 50 for the first time in nearly 15 years, ending a streak that stretched 778 consecutive weeks.
Woods, who has not played since missing the cut at the PGA Championship in mid-August, hasn't won a tournament in nearly two years. And it's amazing to think his last major victory was the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines — way back in 2008.
Woods just hasn't been the same since his personal life unraveled at the end of 2009. He played sparingly in 2010 and has spent much of this year mending his knee and Achilles injuries. He has played in just three events since his fourth-place finish at the Masters, his best showing a tie for 37th in the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational.
Now here he is this week, playing in a second-tier event that attracts mostly players who are fighting to keep their tour cards. Woods isn't in that class and normally wouldn't be caught dead playing in a PGA Tour event this late in the season, but he is fighting for something.
He needs something — anything — that shows his game is on the mend. No doubt U.S. Presidents Cup captain Fred Couples would like to see that, too. I know I would.
Nick Price recently said Woods not only has serious flaws in his swing, but he has lost the mental edge that made him such an unstoppable force in his heyday.
"The momentum is gone," the three-time major winner said, adding that Woods is unlikely to surpass Jack Nicklaus' record 18 major wins.
Winning majors will not be on Woods' mind this week. Heck, winning might not even be, either. He may just be looking for something — anything — to give him hope.
Who would have thought that three years ago?
PGA honors Roll
Susan Roll, the owner of the Carlsbad Golf Center, has been named the recipient of the PGA Merchandiser of the Year Award for Public Facilities.
Roll is only the sixth Southern California PGA professional to earn this national award since it was established in 1978 to recognize those who excel as merchandisers in the promotion of golf.
Roll, who will also be honored in December as the Southern California PGA Golf Professional of the Year, acquired the Carlsbad Golf Center eight years ago. She quickly turned around what was a struggling business into a thriving golf shop ranked among the best in the nation.
It has been ranked as a "100 Best Golf Shop" by Golf World magazine since 2007 and a "Top 100 Golf Range in America" by Golf Range Magazine since 2004. Roll is also a three-time PGA Southern California Section Merchandiser of the Year and a two-time PGA San Diego Chapter Merchandiser of the Year.

The room was very nice, comforters a bit big, but overall very nice. Huge bathroom, wow.
Location. Other than being next to the waterfront and directly across the street from the coliseum, the location was horrible. The limited menu in the inside restaurant with the high prices was discouraging. Tried to go find something close as an alternative, not. The delapitated downtown section offered no real alternatives for food options. So, reluctantly having no feeling of choice but to stay at the hotel to eat and paying 40 dollars for a quick lunch was a bummer.
The waterfront is located near a college/crime area yet it provides the security and serenity. The room deposit and the cable selection is not good... But if completely bored and you don't want to go to the movies rent the one you most want because your paying a couples price!!
I don't like that the clerks seem to harbor the rooms with a view even with prepaid reservations. In fact one clerk blatantly lied and on my next trip the new clerk was extremely nice. The two men clerks are not personable at ALL
Nothing it was terrible!
Atmosphere, people working there were dirty and low class, rooms, decor of rooms, furniture in rooms, amenities, housekeeping, electronic doors malfunction everyday. Everything and anything.
Staff was very friendly. Location very convenient right off the freeway.
Noisy at night from other occupants or visitors which made for a pretty restless night. Breakfast consisted of sweet rolls, cereal, juice, coffee. No eggs or meat as experienced in all the other places we stayed. All sugar and carbs with no protein.
room small and unclean smells bad will not come back
The bed comfort, staff, amenities.
No mini fridge in the room.
Easy access to freeway. Short notice availability.
First impression walking into where our actual room was located, you've got to be kidding me!!!! You're hit by a nauseating odor of stale cigarette smoke mixed with moth balls and mildew. Bad enough? Yes. But no we are not done. The room smelled fine. But our comforters were gross and had crud of them. The toilet was oddly placed in the bathroom which made it awkward to use. Overall I would not reccommend this place unless a last resort.
The public spaces were very good.
i booked a room with a king bed, and I didn't get the room that i booked.
Quiet, late check out, friendly staff
Scratchy towels, no extra amenities, cost more then comparable hotels with nothing above standards to set them apart.
The breakfast ours alright
I didn't like the fact that some teens where packed in a room and nothing was done
The hotel room and amenities were very good
The shower head holder was broken, not recently, so I had to hold the shower head the whole time. There was also a big leak at the flexible hose and shower head coupling. There was an attempt it with poorly installed plumbing tape but it leaked a lot.
Rooms had sufficient dishes in the kitchen
Staff was EXTREMELY inflexible with us and would not let us keep the same room after paying upfront for 3 weeks staying there. Made us move all of our stuff. Rude and discourteous staff. Ruined me towards marriotts altogether. DO NOT recommend the hotel.
The TV had an hdmi port
Staff was rude and unprofessional. Do not go there and expect to be treated like you would at any other Marriott in the world. Hotel employee at the front desk is rude and not helpful and the operations manager doesn't help much either.
Easily convenient off the freeway and very affordable
The first room I was given was completely filthy with trash everywhere and all of the bedding was piled in a corner. The second room was missing microwave & phone and bathroom door thrashed.
Close to uop
Friendly staff
Long check in line
Room smelled
Exterior not inviting
Our stay was uneventful. Nothing stood out as WOW but when you think of it that is exactly what you want. Any and all issues were handled very quickly and without effort on our part. All our plans for the vacation were not affected by where we were staying. We knew that all would be safe and secure in what was left in the room and that when we returned the room was cleaned and rejuvenated to look like as if you first got there. Pleasant stay and Recommended.
Nothing at all... No internet, Dirty and demanded a full refund from front desk! No one should ever stay here. And I demand a full refund !!
Here's why:

Monster Turbine In-Ear Headphones
" After a burn-in period over night, I have to say that these are the best IEMs I've ever listened to. Now, to be honest, you may need to take that with a grain of salt considering I'm only coming from a pair of JVC Marshmallows, and these Turbines will be my first foray into high-end IEMs. Be that as it may, I believe the Turbines are the IEMs to beat at their price point. ..." --XxMerlinxX

"The Monster DNA in ear earphones are part of Monster Cable's effort to further distance themselves from the failed Beats By Dre experiment that supposedly took the headphone market by storm some time ago.

" This is another heavy bass set from Beats. However, because this set was NOT designed to have a tight, secure seal like your typical IEM'S, I lost some of that bass....which in this case = good.

How to Create and Use a Set of Brushes for Digital Painting in Adobe Photoshop
about 3 days ago - No comments
What You'll Be Creating The Brush Tool is the most important tool for a digital artist, but it's also one of the trickiest ones. When you're just starting, you get this feeling that you need a separate brush for every effect you want. The default brushes in Photoshop don't seem too useful for this purpose, but professional artists often share their palettes, so you can always download something more powerful. The problem is that the more complicated the brush, the harder it is to use it properly. And if you observed these professionals at work, you'd see they use a simple round or slightly textured brush most of the time. You could give them this default brush set and they'd still paint a beautiful artwork with it. Why can't you? Using Photoshop is not really about "pressing buttons" and waiting for the program to do something for us .

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|4 nights
This unique 3 bedroom apartment has been elegantly furnished with a modern interior design. It's stylish and comfortable with the lovely décor adorning a peaceful and tranquil ambience. Set in the grounds of the owners' property you will always find someone at hand. Its hillside location displays stunning views of the mountains and provides an uninterrupted flow of constant breeze. All doors and windows have mosquito nets. Breakfast outside on the veranda is a perfect way to start your day. The garden is enriched with mangos, you're welcome to help yourself. "LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION is the key, it's perfect, just 3 minutes from town, therefore car hire is not essential. Beaches and restaurants are close by with the Carenage, Marina and Harbour even closer. From town you can travel the whole island. Elliz is ideal if you're looking for somewhere close to all amenities, peace and quite or adventure in paradise with secluded yet fitting accommodation at an affordable price. Elliz is nestled in the valley of St. George's. It displays a breathtaking view of the mountains and provides a tranquil ambiance which makes it special. It's situated between the Prime Minister and Governor General's residence in a prestigious residential area just outside town, it's also within walking distance to The National Stadium. The rear entrance of the apartment shares the same grand entrance and stunning view as the Governor General, capturing Grand Anse Beach, The Harbour, Port Louis Marina, The Carenage and a spectacular evening sunset. Its ideal location allows those of you who want to explore the beautiful island to do so with ease, or if not, to sit back and relax. You can either take a bus (stop right outside the apartment) or walk to town where you'll find the picturesque carenage, market, shopping mall, banks and restaurants. 5 minutes away is The Harbour and Port Louis, a further 10 minutes Grand Anse and other beaches for all diving and snorkelling activities.
A fantastic, well-equipped apartment with lovely views across the valley. Lizzie and Elvis are excellent hosts, they went beyond normal expectations without being intrusive. As indicated in the description you do have to climb a number of steps to access the apartment but it is a truly wonderful base for touring the island.
We booked this place on the strength of all the great reviews and were not disappointed. The unit was beautifully appointed and spotless. Elvis and Liz could not have been more helpful and we made arrangements with them to travel back and forth to St Georges University to visit our daughter and even spent a whole day touring the island with Elvis. The island is beautiful as are the people and we can't wait to go back.
Our stay at Elliz Apartment was one for the ages….AMAZING! We were lucky to be able to extend our stay for an additional week, making our total stay two weeks. Elliz (Lizzie) and Elvis were the kindest, most accommodating hosts. From the moment we contacted them, they were always very prompt and answered any questions we asked them so we could plan our trip better.
While they gave us plenty of privacy, they helped us organize an amazing wedding and reception when some of our original plans fell through. They even surprised us with the kindness to offer their living space and large veranda after we surprised them with the fact that we wanted the band from the dinghy concert to perform at our reception. We arranged with Lizzie and Elvis before we arrived in Grenada to have the reception in the space we were renting from them, but we never mentioned that there would be a band. There was plenty of room with the big yard, veranda spanning the front of the house where the view overlooks the mountains and valley, and the spacious three bedroom apartment interior. However, when the weatherman reported that it might rain, Lizzie and Elvis offered their living area and veranda for us to have the reception/party. They helped us get the cake, food, flowers, and let us use their place to make sure we stayed dry and the band could play rain or shine…they even helped decorate! While we do not recommend waiting until the last minute, Lizzie and Elvis helped prepare the most unforgettably incredible wedding/reception in less than a week. They really helped us have a magical experience; one that will forever be in our memories and stories.
Besides the wedding/reception, staying at Elliz Apartment gave us the private "at-home" feeling while the location provided the opportunity to enjoy local life by day and night. The facilities, location, and hospitality are second to none. We hope there is vacancy when we go back to Grenada soon. We never imagined we would fall in love with Grenada the way we did. Elliz Apartment made it all possible… the nights at the beach, the private tours, the no-pressure dinner invitations, the jug of fresh-squeezed juice in the fridge when we arrived, the nearby bakery, McKenzie and Hazel at a nearby pub, Ronald's delicious roti and oil down, etc., etc., etc…
Thank you so much, Elvis and Lizzie!
Junko and Tim
Staying at Elliz Apartment is more than a vacation. It's an experience. Renting Elvis and Liz's downstairs apt, was a window into the world of Grenada, all while staying at a wonderfully immaculate, comfortable, well appointed rental with views to die for. They were open, warm and helpful whenever needed (shopping and sightseeing advice, making reservations, etc), but never intruded. A very well stocked kitchen and wonderful light and open planned lounge /dining area, complimented by a large verandah with spectacular views. All that we want to say about Elliz Apartment and Elvis and Liz, the owners, has already been said by previous guests, so I would just like to use this review to say a great big "thank you" to Elvis and Liz for making our stay with them a truly wonderful experience.
If you are considering Elliz Apartment for vacation...then go ahead and book it, you won't be disappointed, we have no hesitation in recommending it.
I'm a British Grenadian and I usually stay with family when I return home, but I couldn't resist the stylish homely decor when I discovered Elliz apartments on Home Away. With modern amenities, crisp linen and authentic island fixtures, it appealed to my London sensibilities, while the open plan living room which opened up to a veranda surrounded by lush greenery gave me a fresh countryside feeling while still being in a convenient distance to shops, restaurants and the beach.
Lizzie who ensured my linen was changed, towels replaced and rolled hotel style was always on hand if I had any questions. Most importantly the pictures of the apartment are a true reflection of the property, which is spotless and well maintained.
I would recommend Elliz as I felt safe, the bus stop into the centre of town is a few footsteps away as is the bus to Grand Anse Beach. Local shop owners nearby are extremely helpful and friendly and the open plan living space with every modern appliance you could think encourages you to take pleasure in buying local produce, cooking it in your quaint kitchen and enjoying the apartment as you would do your own home.
A dive buddy, one of his friends, and myself decided to make our first trip to Grenada to do some relaxing and diving. I found Elliz on vrbo, and what a pleasant surprise it was upon arrival! I must say the pictures do not do it justice. The apartment is close enough to town, yet far enough away to be quiet and peaceful...perfect for sitting on the veranda. The three bedrooms offer plenty of privacy. The apartment is stocked with anything and everything you could possibly need for your stay (including some easy listening CDs that were made just for relaxing).
As if the apartment wasn't perfect enough, Elvis and Liz made everything even more enjoyable. They provided us with personal taxi service, and even invited us to dinner with them one night at a local grill out. They are truly hospitable people, and their story is warming, inspiring, and intriguing. Also, we booked an island tour with Liz. She made sure we got a true feel of the local culture, and included waterfalls, the chocolate factory, rum factory, monkeys, a volcanic lake, and much more. I HIGHLY recommend this.
The dive shop picked us up and dropped us off daily at the apartment, which was convenient and helpful to us. Waking up and having breakfast on the veranda was the greatest way to start the day.
I honestly cannot say enough nice things about Elliz, Elvis, and Liz. They made our first trip to Grenada hassle-free. When (not if) I go back to Grenada, this will be the place I stay. Thank you both for a relaxing and memorable vacation.
Who needs a pool when you have paradise beaches just minutes away which are natural stunning ocean pools with white sand and clear turquoise waters. Grenada is unspoilt and pristine. It's the most picturesque island of the Lesser Antilles and is rich in history. With a warm climate, lush rain forests, waterfalls and spectacular scenery it's a real mixture of serenity, nature and ambiance, alluring by day sparkling by night. The island is small in size but grand in offerings, the life style is simple and laid back. The islanders will capture your heart with their hospitality and are genuinely interested in making sure you have the time of your life and the holiday of your dreams. Melodic sounds of birds, crickets and waterfalls will soothe your soul and the aroma therapy simply means breathing in the spice filled air as you interact and share experiences with the friendliest people ever. Grenada is everything you'd expect and more, your experience will be far beyond your expectations.
What Grenada offers: Beaches, Scuba Diving, Snorkeling, Sailing, Fishing, Hiking, Hash Harriers, Golf, Cycling, River Rafting, Sightseeing, Rain Forest, waterfalls, Monkeys, Turtle Watching, Hot Springs, Rum Distilleries, Pearls, Fortes, Plantation Estates, Sunsets, Bars, Restaurants, Shops, Cricket and so much more.
How to get around: You can walk, cycle, bus, taxi or hire a car. The buses are a cheap & fast way to travel. The bus stop is right outside the apartment. Take a 3 minute ride into town to the main bus terminal where you can get a further bus to any part of the island. Bikes, taxi and car hire are also readily available depending on your preference. For those of you who enjoy walking you can do so from Elliz to town, Carenage, Grenada's National Stadium or even Grand Anse, it's the perfect way to start your day after breakfast on the veranda. Capture the stunning views, they're unbelievable, guaranteed in sending sensational warmth thru your body, whilst letting you know you're in paradise.

Diamond DVD is Transport to 1976
By Scott Iwasaki Deseret News
When I was in elementary school, my mother loved Neil Diamond.
She had all his albums on 8-track tape. From time to time, I would steal one and listen to it in my room. My favorite, as I have stated in previous columns, is 1976′s "Beautiful Noise."
I liked his singer/songwriter/troubadour image at the time.
I also liked how musical he was. And by that I mean the man was a classical music lover and got a lot of inspiration for his songs by listening to Mozart.
In fact, "Song Sung Blue" is based on Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 21.
At any rate, in 1972, at what some would call the pinnacle of his career, Neil Diamond took a nearly four-year break from touring to "find himself," as he would state in later interviews.
During this time, he released is definitive live album — "Hot August Night" — and his soundtrack to the motion picture "Jonathan Livingston Seagull."
Then in 1976, he returned to the stage with an Australian tour.
The final night of the historical 21-date tour, played to 38,000 people at Sydney's Sports Ground and telecast on Australian TV, has been released on DVD.
"Neil Diamond The Thank You Australia Concert: Live 1976″ (Eagle Vision, $19.98) is a single-disc featuring the concert and a bunch of extras.
While the concert — featuring half of the "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" soundtrack songs (with sometimes cheesy, superimposed graphics of seagull silhouettes) — and a slew of hits including "Play Me,""I Am, I Said,""Holly Holy,""Sweet Caroline,""Cherry Cherry,""Longfellow Serenade,""Cracklin' Rosie" and aforementioned "Song Sung Blue," to name a few — is obviously the focus of the disc, it's the extras that really catch the viewer's attention.
My favorite segment is an interview Diamond did with "A Current Affair" on Australia's Channel 9 on March 9, 1976. Make note the Australian version of "A Current Affair" was not like the U.S. tabloid program.
During the interview with host Michael Schildberger, Diamond, then 35, gave thoughtful insight to his childhood, songwriting, personal life and fame.
That, to me, is the most interesting aspect of this DVD. Among the other extras is the inclusion of additional concert footage of "Morningside," live commercial breaks that were seen on the original TV concert and a photo gallery.
The only complaint I have is that the DVD is not available in widescreen format.
With the release of his most recent Columbia Records CD, "Home Before Dark," Diamond marked 42 years in the music business. And while he is still a huge concert draw today, he will always be the man I first heard more than 35 years ago. And the "Thank You Australia Concert" DVD transports me back to that era.

BOISE -- The Ada County coroner says a 32-year-old Garden City man drowned in the Boise River while fishing Saturday morning.
The drowning victim was identified as Jeffrey Summerlin. He had been fishing near the Parkcenter Bridge when he was swept under the water.
The coroner says Summerlin was wearing fishing waders that appear to have filled with water, making it impossible for the man to stay afloat.
Dive team rescuers, with help from Boise Police, were able to pull Summerlin out of the water at Ann Morrison Park, but he was unresponsive. He was pronounced dead a short time later at Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center.
The drowning was ruled an accident.
