Diamond jewelry is very popular. Some pieces, such as diamond engagement and wedding rings, are often worn 24 hours a day. Even though you may wear your diamond jewelry around the clock, you should give thought to its care. Diamonds are durable, but they still require proper maintenance. Diamonds can get smudged, soiled and dusty. Lotions, powders, soaps, even natural skin oils, put a film on diamonds and cut down their brilliance. Clean diamonds "glow" because the maximum amount of light can enter the stone and return in a fiery brilliance. It takes just a little care to keep them that way.
Do not wear diamond jewelry, especially rings, when doing rough work. Even though a diamond is one of the hardest materials in nature, it can still be chipped by a sharp, sudden blow.
There are many different types of colored gemstones, some of which require specific care and cleaning procedures. It would be impossible to enumerate all of them in this brochure. However, there are some general care and cleaning rules which apply to all colored gemstone jewelry.
Karat gold jewelry pieces make up the majority of many fine jewelry collections. Gold comes in many different styles and colors, but the care and cleaning procedure remains the same.
Platinum is one of the rarest and most durable precious metals. It is resistant to tarnishing and discoloration due to chlorine and other chemicals. These factors, along with its strength and white luster, have made platinum an increasingly popular choice for jewelry, either on its own or as the setting for diamonds and other precious gemstones. However, despite its durability, platinum jewelry needs proper care.
Cultured pearls are precious jewels and should be treated as such. They're also the products of living creatures. Cultured pearls are formed when an irritant is introduced into a mollusk. The mollusk secretes a substance called nacre which covers the irritant and produces the pearl. Nacre gives pearls the rainbow of colors and luster that makes these gemstones so treasured, but its delicate nature also makes pearls particularly susceptible to damage. For this reason you should be extra careful with your cultured pearl jewelry.
Watches need the same amount of attention as fine jewelry. Fine watches are sophisticated and precise pieces of equipment; the price often reflects the skilled workmanship that goes into a fine timepiece. In order to get the most satisfaction out of your watch, you should follow some simple care and cleaning guidelines.
A mechanical watch should be checked regularly by your jeweler/watchmaker or an authorized dealer and serviced according to the manufacturer's guidelines.
Protect your jewelry when it is not being worn by separating it from other jewelry, using a separate compartment in your jewelry box. Gems and gem quality items, improperly stored, can damage each other. Diamonds, for example, may scratch rubies, sapphires, or emeralds, and in certain situations, each other. To be on the safe side, be sure that gemstones and jewelry do not touch.
Because of their softness, cultured pearls need special care. Clean and dry them prior to storing your pearls in a special chamois pouch safe from potential harm.
Rings, regularly worn, need periodic cleaning to remove the film caused by, cosmetics, soap, and skin oil that may cloud the ring's beauty. Diamonds, for example, have an affinity for grease and literally collect oils in dish water. Remove rings before routine household chores and clean rings regularly. Activity which might subject a gemstone to sharp blows-such as gardening, working with hand tools, or playing sports-may also damage a gemstone.
Diamonds are also susceptible to damage from an impact which might cause them to chip or crack.
Put jewelry on after you apply hair spray or cosmetics. Chemicals present in either may cause damage, especially to cultured pearls. Wipe your pearls with a soft chamois or flannel cloth after each wearing to remove your skin's oils and salts.
A very few colored gemstones, such as kunzite, may fade when worn in sunlight or in a tanning booth.
Few watches are waterproof, though many are water resistant. If moisture or dust has penetrated the case of your watch, have it checked only by an authorized technician. Attempts by an untrained repair person may seriously damage the watch and invalidate factory warranties.
In most cases, routine home care of your fine jewelry supplemented with periodic care by your American Gem Society jeweler means a lifetime of pleasurable wear. Regular cleaning of your gemstones keeps them shining and beautiful.
A mild soap and water solution used with a soft brush is effective for many home jewelry care needs. Even the mild chemicals of commercial jewelry cleaning products may damage certain gems. Although soap and water is the best choice for most gems and jewelry, do not use soap and water with amber, coral, emerald, jade, kunzite, lapis lazuli, opal, pearl, or turquoise. Never use anything abrasive such as toothpaste to clean your jewelry.
Check with your American Gem Society jeweler prior to using a commercial cleaning product for the first time. Dispose of any such cleaner after 3 months. A home solution of one part mild detergent, one part household ammonia, and three parts water is also effective for many jewelry cleaning needs. Dry the jewelry with a lint-free towel.
This method of cleaning is especially desirable for alexandrite, amethyst, andalusite, aquamarine, citrine, diamond, garnet, iolite, moonstone, ruby, sapphire, spinel, tanzanite, topaz, tourmaline, and zircon.
Home ultrasonic cleaners are best used for karat gold jewelry without gemstones. The ultrasonic may also be suitable for some diamond-set jewelry. Intense vibrations may loosen stones, so a professional annual cleaning and security check is important. DO NOT use the home ultrasonic for amber, coral, emerald, kunzite, lapis lazuli, opal, pearl, ruby, or turquoise.
Be sure to check with your American Gem Society jeweler prior to using a home ultrasonic cleaner.
We recommend that your fine jewelry be examined and cleaned once every 6 months. We will check all the prongs for gemstone security. We also check clasps. If needed, we will recommend restringing pearls to protect against an inopportune string failure. When we clean your jewelry, we will also check the stone itself for any damage that may warrant re-cutting or re-polishing.
Be sure you understand how your fine jewelry should be worn, how to store it, how to clean it, and what to look for to protect it from harm. We would also be glad to discuss with you the questions you might want to ask your insurance agent concerning coverage. The care you provide your fine jewelry will reward you with years of pleasurable wear.

Killearn House
2 Responses to "Killearn House"
My mother lived at Killearn House during the war with her family (the house was owned by her aunt Alice and uncle Daniel McPhail). Does anybody remember the McPhails? Would love to hear from anyone about the old house back then.
From 1940 to ""47 I lived in the Finnich Toll house, my mother worked at Killearn house for a number of years ,I can still remember wandering around looking at what I now know were priceless paintings from The Kelvingrove Art Galleries & the Wallace Collection removed to the country for safety. The one on the main staircase was of a young lady with a man on each arm entitled Two Strings to Her Bow. The major part of the Wallace armoury collection was in crates in the cellars, except for two suits of 15th. century Italian Armour on either side of the staircase, their stands neatly catalogued. (to aid Goering's collectors!!)
During the war a number of evacuees stayed at the house, one of whom was my play-mate, unfortunately I can only remember his Christian name, Gordon. An internet appeal may yield results.
I hope this has been of some use to you.

Peaceful and majestic setting. Staff helpful and accommodating. Best spa experience to date.

Historical Traveler Reviews Pueblo Bonito Pacifica Resort & Spa Cabo San Lucas
Nice place to visit, but we wouldn't want to stay there
This is a really beautiful hotel, with many impressive features. Based on the reviews on this site, which had boosted the hotel to #2 in Cabo, we were VERY excited about staying there. The idea of a holistic spa, with delicious organic food and inspiring surroundings, sounded like just what we needed. However, the hotel is being mismarketed, and we left after one night for the PB Sunset Beach, where we had a much better time. We wouldn't say "don't stay there," since many people below obviously had wonderful times (though I wonder how many of them were relatives of Pueblo Bonito timeshare owners who were on the 7 nights for $299 special, which would certainly have made it a better deal). But we wanted to offer extra information beyond what's already posted, so people can make up their own minds.
--The hotel has a wonderfully impressive entrance, with a real "wow" factor. The lobby and hotel have a very interesting design, very soothing. The landscape is also really beautiful, great water elements. The pictures on the website and here do not do justice to how beautiful the hotel looks in person. The lobby smells wonderful.
--The food is exceptional. Yes, it's expensive, but it's very interesting and beautifully presented. And healthy and flavorful too. The service in Siempre was outstanding (can't say the same for the pool bar, see below).
--Much of the staff is excited to be working in a new hotel and is eager to please.
--If this is a "holistic retreat and spa," why are they pumping muzak and even techno (!) all day long at the pool, instead of letting people hear the waves? This is not only at the pool, but also in Siempre. It's very strange to be in this supposedly serene atmosphere, and they're playing trip-hop?
--The main pool was closed for repairs (even though the hotel is new) the whole time we were to be there. The secondary pool is pretty boring (one big circle, no foliage)-not a place we wanted to sit around for a week straight (if you came to Cabo planning tons of activities in town you might not care, but again-this place is advertising itself as a spa retreat).
--The beach itself is not that interesting. Next door the Sunset Beach is on a much more spectacular stretch, with better views of the crashing waves and of beautiful rock formations. The Pacifica's beach is flat and monotonous, and you don't really see whitewater (you can't swim in it anyway because it's too dangerous).
--Unlike at Siempre, the service at the pool bar was terrible. Hardly any guests are at the hotel now, and there are many staff people standing around, but it took forever to get menus, order-4 times asking to get water, etc. We sat at the pool for an hour and a half-no one ever came by to ask us if we wanted drinks.
--The concierge was perfectly nice, but she had a constant line while we were there, and she also seemed to be answering calls about housekeeping (I waited to make a shuttle reservation, and she was on the phone trying to get the details of a guest's toilet which needed to be fixed). Surely they can have a better division of labor.
--The shuttles are very infrequent: only 1 an hour to Sunset Beach, and you'd need to sit around the Sunset Beach for 40 minutes if you then wanted a shuttle to town/the Rose.
--There is little activity going on at the Pacifica. A real spa has more exercise classes: right now they have one yoga class in the morning and that's it. And if there are more than 3 people there, they don't fit very well (it's under a small shaded roof in their "holistic area", the only really "holistic" part of the place). The website says a wellness coordinator greets guests upon checkin to set up their plan for the week. We didn't see any wellness coordinator-instead we were sent to the timeshare salesperson who gave us a hard sell for the morning tour at Sunset Beach but eventually took no for an answer (and we did get 4 free drink coupons for having had to listen to her). There are supposedly other activities at the pool, but they might have been cancelled while we were there because of the main pool being broken-we didn't see anything happening.
--There are weird pebble borders around the beds-be careful when you get up so you don't keep hurting yourself. We kept forgetting, and saying "ouch"!
On the other hand, the hotel staff was very accomodating when we said we wanted to leave, and let us switch the Sunset Beach, where we had a much better time. And we enjoyed returning once to Pacifica to eat dinner at Siempre (wonderful food, magical lights, tried to ignore the music).
But think carefully before you choose Pacifica: you may love it like the people below, or you may kick yourself and wish you had stayed elsewhere!! If it's a real holistic resort you are after, this is not it; if you want a rockin' beach vacation, there are more fun places to stay. But the food is good and the architecture is interesting.
Loved the Pacifica!
Recently returned from a 5 night stay and definitely needed a few more days!
On your approach to this beautiful resort you will enjoy the Cliffside views on the curving roads lined with lovely fuchsia flowers as you make your way down to the peaceful Pacifica Resort. So tranquil and serene, away from the all the other resorts...this is the place to just relax!
You will be greeted by the friendly and helpful valet staff. Upon entering the open and airy lobby you will smell the soothing aroma of the candles and incense, which smells absolutley wonderful!!
Our deluxe room was ok, but we upgraded to a suite (with the help of Engelberto, the front desk manager) which was double the size and well worth the extra $! The balcony has four chairs - 2 lounges and 2 cushioned chairs, along with the wonderful drying rack. And our view was absolutely amazing! The bathroom was a good size with a spacious shower and tub. The bed and pillows were comfortable and the "cold" air conditioning felt great after being outside in about 100 degree weather each day. (Very hot in August & September) The maid service was outstanding, along with the nightly turn down as well.
The amazing restaurant staff, namely - Rueben (a manager in the Siempre restaurant) was so accommodating and is a very special person who helped make my birthday one to remember, by arranging a beautiful dinner on the beach, under the (full) moon-lit star sky, along with the help of his wonderful partner - Oscar. If you have a special occasion to celebrate - I highly recommend this special arrangement.
Enrique was so nice and very helpful with different food selections.
At the Poolside Bar & Grill - Aire, Alfredo - was the best! - never did we have to move from our lounge chairs to ask for a thing. Tomas (one of the chef's at Siempre) - simply, a great person as well.
Magda - at the Concierge desk was amazing. She was always pleasant and so helpful in arranging and confirming all of our reservations along with specific celebration details!
Basically, the staff at Pacifica, go well above and beyond to accommodate their guests!
Just a little note to be aware of your "welcome package" when you check in. It is for timeshare at the Sunset, which I found does not compare to the simple magnificent beauty of the Pacifica. (Guess it is just not my taste). The free Mexican breakfast they offer is honestly - not good. If you have 3 hours to spare of your vacation time and plan to do some excursions, and dine at the PB resorts, then this timeshare deal may be good for you.
The shuttle times are not good either (as mentioned in another review). PB needs to extend the boundaries of their shuttle service.
Be very aware of the expensive and always changing cab fare in Cabo. Since the Pacifica is further away from the other hotels, you will pay dearly for cab fare if you want to explore some other beautiful resorts - The Palmilla, Las Ventanas, and Esperanza. Each of these resorts have their own unique beauty, and I highly recommend visiting all of them, as the food and service was excellent at each and every one of them!!
The Pacifica is the place to truly relax, unwind, and enjoy the serenity and beauty that surrounds you there :)!
Possibly top vacation ever
I am doing this evaluation from our room at Pacifica.
I think I'll hit the negatives first.
The times of the shuttles to town start too late (10:15), and you have to take a shuttle to the neighboring Sunset Pueblo Bonito and wait 45 minutes for the shuttle to town. Or you can get a taxi for $10-12 each direction(depending how far you go)
2 of the 7 days the ice machines in our building didn't work(but the staff brought ice to the room when requested)
The AC did not work well the 1st day.(it was repaired by the next day)
The beach is there to look at , not use. You can't swim because of the dangerous surf, and the staff will not allow you to walk close to the water.
the pool waiter service is suspect , with the exception of Fernando. They don't check on you as often as they should, but I may be comparing them to Pueblo Bonito Emerald Bay in Mazatlan, no one could beat Carlos and Chris
Now the positives.
Incredible staff, very accomodating, friendly, and professional.
Every question was awswered, if not right away, then with a follow-up call. We have been dealing mostly with Victor and Magda, both exceptional!
Maid service is very good. including nightly turndown.
The activities director(Miguel) is friendly and fun. I liked the mini-Texas Hold em games at the pool.
The hotel had only 90 people the 1st couple of days', by Friday it seemed to raise to 120. This is about 30% capacity, so the staff to customer ratio is favorable.
No kids! Sooooo quiet, uncrowded.
At night , a swim in the pool alone, jump into the hot tub and you may see another couple or two, but it is huge and could hold maybe up to 16.
Sit by the ring (8) of fires and gaze at the stars or full moon and listen to the surf
We have been up around 6:30 every day and going into the health club. All of the stair steppers, treadmills, and bikes have TV's attached and individual headphones. Also weight machines and free weights.
This is our last night,of 8. Oscar, the chef, asked us about having a dinner on the beach. For a $50 set up, we are ording off the menu of the main restaraunt, at least I am, my wife pre-ordered lobster.
Oscar is proud of his restaraunt and should be. He was at Las Ventanas for awhile. Good person, fits well with the Pacifica. Ask him to make shrimp tacos or a pina colada with Meyers Rum.
I don't want to go home, need 2-3 more days, guess we'll just have to come back.
feel free to ask any questions.
Most relaxing vacation ever
This was the most relaxing vacation I have ever experienced. The scenery and view from every angle of this hotel was beautiful! The service by each and every member of the hotel's staff was by far beyond outstanding. From their friendliness to efficiency to their sense of humor, the hotel is staffed by quality personnel. We were treated as if we were the only guests on the property.
This is the perfect place to simply unwind. It is quiet and peaceful. If you are looking for a loud, partying place, this isn't the place for you. If you want to rejuvenate, work out, get massages, walk on the beach, take a yoga class, enjoy the scenery, catch up on a really good book and have the peace and quiet of no kids..... this is the place!
If we ever visit Cabo San Lucas, we will definitely come back to the Pueblo Bonito Pacifica Holistic Retreat & Spa. Hopefully it will keep it's warmth and charm as it grows.
OMG What An Absolutely Breathtaking Resort
While my husband and I didn't stay at this resort, we did visit it two times. We stayed at the PB Sunset Beach (sister property a few minutes away). All I can say is WOW. This place is the most peaceful resort I've ever encountered. The staff was absolutely fabulous showing us around. We asked to see a couple of rooms and were shown the basic unit as well as a suite. If we go back to Cabo, we will stay here. No doubt!
Great time in Cabo
We just got back from a 6 day trip to Cabo (week of July 17th) and stayed at the Pacifica. It was amazing! As many people have said, there were not that many people at the resort...it was almost as if we had the place to ourselves. The staff was very friendly and helpful with anything you needed.
We attempted to use the pool at Sunset Beach- we went and had a good lunch there and then got a cart down to the pool. There were so many people (and a ton of kids) and there weren't many chairs left (plus, you could barely see the beach/ocean unlike Pacifica). We decided not to stay and headed back to the Pacifica which was a welcome to come back to after our trip to Sunset Beach.
The $10 cab ride into town was not bad at all, and it's nice to be near the action but have a quiet and really nice place to go back to at the end of the night.
Siempre, the restaurant, was good but expensive- just like everything else in Cabo.
We had a blast at the Pacifica and would definitely reccommend others going.
An Undiscovered Beachside Oasis Devoted to Truly Holistic Relaxation
I stayed at the Pueblo Bonito Pacifica July 5-8, 2005 and had a truly relaxing, wonderful experience. I found a surprisingly affordable package deal through Expedia (I believe the hotel is currently offering special introductory rates) and was lured in by the resort's promise of a contemporary "holistic oasis". The Pacifica is a brand-new resort (barely opened this past April) and is part of the famous Pueblo Bonito resort chain in Mexico. Here are some of my thoughts about the resort:
The Pacifica boasts a beautiful, contemporary design --- it is minimalist and modern but still inviting and comfortable. The resort features clean lines in its architecture and a soothing neutral color palette. The entrance is breathtaking: you are greeted by an airy lobby centered around a shallow stone pool with an amazing backdrop view of the Pacific Ocean. The smell of gentle incense wafts through the air ... you immediately begin to feel relaxed. The grounds are simply picturesque --- gorgeous greenery, pretty fountains, and all framed by the ocean behind it. It is also to be noted that the grounds are very well-maintained and clean. In essence, the resort is a quiet, "Zen-like" experience --- it is far from a rowdy, college "spring break" type of Cabo hotel. Come to the Pacifica and it is simply about upscale contemporary elegance and truly peaceful relaxation.
Every room at the Pacifica features a stunning ocean view: we stayed in their basic room and our view was incredible. Each room also has a spacious balcony equipped with a pair of very comfy lounge chairs (I even fell asleep in one), a mosaic table, and a built-in drying rack for your bathing suits (this came in very handy). The rooms are also roomy and very comfortable, including the well-appointed beds. The bathroom continues with the resort's contemporary design and is lovely. Rooms also feature free internet connection. Overall, the accommodations at the Pacifica are very comfortable and enjoyable.
The resort features a main restaurant: the upscale, very classy "Siempre". All the food served at the Pacifica is organic. We dined at "Siempre" our first evening and found the service to be top-notch, the restaurant setting to be beautiful, and the food to be delicious (though pricey). Besides "Siempre", there is also 24-hour room service (we had a great breakfast one morning that included fresh watermelon and honeydew juices) and a poolside cafe of more casual fare (this wasn't open yet during our visit, however).
The resort features two pools, one being an always-heated infinity circle pool. This pool was our favorite retreat --- the water was always the perfect temperature and felt amazing. The area can get very windy, so there are built in glass panels surrounding much of the resort (including the pool) to block the wind. There are also two jacuzzis --- the main jacuzzi, albeit beautiful, wasn't working properly during our visit, however, so we didn't get to use it. The resort is also right on the beach, but it is not allowed to enter the ocean because of the strong riptides. Those who wish to go into the ocean can go to the neighboring Pueblo Bonito Rose. The Armonia Spa on site is also beautiful and from what I gleaned from other guests at the resort, wonderful in its services. There is also a gym area available to guests.
The service at the Pacifica is remarkable --- upon arriving, we were immediately greeted by everyone by our names, telling us they'd been expecting us. Right when we entered our room and settled in, we received an immediate phone call from the manager welcoming us. The concierge was very helpful in booking a snorkeling tour for us and in recommending local restaurants in town to visit. Basically, everyone at the hotel appears eager to help and please you and you truly feel pampered.
The resort is located in a private alcove of Cabo, not in the big tangle of other resorts in the area. It is near the Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach and a shuttle that comes on the hour will take you the Sunset Beach, from which you can take another hourly-arriving shuttle into town. The Pacifica is approximately 5 minutes from Pacifica to town. The problem we had with the shuttle is that it doesn't drop you directly in town, it drops you at the Pueblo Bonito Rose, which is a little bit of a walk from town. Because of this, we often resorted to just taking a taxi into town ... but be forewarned that even though it is a short, quick drive in, the taxis charge $10 each way. Other than the transportation issues, the location of the Pacifica is ideal because it is basically located on its own private beach and makes the resort feel very secluded and exclusive.
The Pacifica is a real gem and a truly beautiful hotel that lives up to its promise of a "holistic", relaxing experience. When we stayed at the resort, it was only 20% full, so it often felt like our own private oasis. For example, most of the time we spent in the pool, we actually had it all to ourselves. I suspect that since the hotel is so new, few people know about it. Thus, I would suggest taking advantage of this factor and visiting the resort sooner than later to truly experience the beauty and "newness" of the place all to yourself.
I would definitely visit the Pacifica again in the future --- I had an amazing stay at the resort and truly have very little complaints (the only real complaint being about the inconvenient transportation). It is a beautiful, luxurious, and refreshing addition to Cabo San Lucas and I would greatly recommend the Pacifica to those planning a getaway to Cabo.
Get there now!
The new Pacifica is a wonderful new retreat!. The archetecture emphasizes views and the natural desert. The people work very hard to serve your needs. They are very glad to see you and its obvious.
It is not yet well known and is currently sparesly occupied, which makes it even better as a get away. However even if it was full, I'm sure its service, location and facility would be an ideal place for a peaceful vacation.
The rooms are fine; decent size with nice linens on the beds and a nice, large balcony with great comfortable chairs. It can be windy and cool, so bring a set of jeans / sweater for evenings. As a new and ambitious property, they are still getting some bugs worked out, but nothing that couldn't easily be dealt with. Any issue was dealt with very quickly.
Overall it was very pleasureable and we would love to visit there again.
A Zen Paradise
We just returned from a week stay at Pueblo Bonito Pacifica Holistic Retreat and Spa. Words can't begin to describe the utter beauty and peace this hotel offers. The setting is beachfront where you can hear the waves crashing into the shore. The sound of water is heard throughout the hotel with multiple water features(fountains,pools,waterfalls).The grounds are beautiful with cactus gardens and palm trees.Our deluxe room was beautifully but simply furnished with state of the art bathrooms,very comfortable beds and a wonderful terrace to sit on with views of the ocean and pool.The staff really try hard to make sure everything is perfect. The spa treatments were wonderful and the staff especially NORMA was the best.Any small issues were quickly resolved. Victor and Karina were very helpful and welcoming(concierge).What we especially loved was the weather on the Pacific side is cooler than in downtown and there was a constant breeze off the water which was totally refreshing. The beach itself is beautiful but NO SWIMMING allowed due to strong currents and riptides. The 2 restaurants had very fresh and tasty food. Room service is also an option.Since we were so lucky to experience this hotel with only 6 rooms occupied during our stay we know this was a once in a lifetime gift.I know our next visit will be different but just as GREAT!!!!
Relax at Pacifica!!
An incredible hotel to unwind in. I visited Pueblo Bonito holistic hotel & spa in May 2005 barely 2 weeks opened. The minute you arrive you begin to see why it was named holistic. Every detail is simple and very pleasing to the eye. The architecture is clean and colors muted with splashes of bright accents that draw your eye to details. The lobby has a gorgeous pic-a-boo view of the grounds and of what's to come. There are cactus plantings everywhere in perfect rows surrounded by golden sand. The grounds are gorgeus and so perfect in design. There are many paths and areas to wander in. I was just a visitor to the hotel and asked to see a room. They were kind enough to take me in the regular room as well as the suite room. The rooms are beautifully detailed and comfortable, and all come with an ocean view balcony. I dined at their only restaurant and it was a delicious meal, pricy but worth it! The pool area is great. This is definitely a place to relax and take in the beauty of the grounds. I was told this was a no-children allowed hotel. I am definitely staying here in the future. Please take a look at the photos of my visit I've posted on this site - Just beautiful!

Buenos Dias Hommes!
... O ads though, Rob Brydon is nowhere to be found. Speaking of the ship I have to add that I've officially seen the worst performance on the boat so far, a comedienne called Mandy Moran (or something like that), part magic, part comedy, part **** – she was this mockney woman doing god awful jokes I'd heard 10 years ago and magic the likes I'd seen better at kids partys, she was just dreadful. I heard a lot of ...
Hiking and Last Celebrations
... us all day, but it was still early afternoon, so we had hours ahead of us before we needed to go back to the hotel. Therefore, we decided to enact the sneaky plan we had considered for the whole week: we snuck back to the private timeshare beach we made it to on the first day and pretended we were residents.
It was easy. No one called us out, so we just waltzed up through the condos to the pool and made ourselves comfortable. We even ordered margaritas and nachos at the bar ...
Full sails and tall tales
... evening hundreds gather for free live music, stand around barrels,being entertained ,with choices of many different foods on offer along with the liquids to accompanying them from the regulars bars lining the sidewalk. After spending several hours , we fought our way out through the crowds and saw the only face we knew.....Eric with friends – stopped for a quick chat – then found ourselves a quiet spot away from the mayhem ...
Day 4 in paradise!
... local called Fugon. A major hole in the wall with half liters of Mexican coke in the bottle, and some great tacos pastors. We walked into the town square near a beautiful, classic church and then hit a tamale truck where Mando got to have one of his most favorite drinks as a child (born in Mexico, we've seen him reminisce over the sweetest things!).
The End Of the World!
... in originality, it definitely makes up for in convenience and uniformity - you know exactly what you're going to get, each and every time.
But what's a positive for most is a negative for me - all-inclusives can be generic, all following the same formula. You could be in Mexico, Cuba, or any Caribbean island, without knowing exactly where you were - there's no distinguishing characteristic in these resorts, no sense of local culture, except for ...

On Tuesday, April 8, workers from some of TV's top reality shows, including American Idol, Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader?, and American Inventor, will gather at the Van Nuys office of the California Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE) to file claims alleging that the producers of these shows owe them unpaid overtime and penalties that could total over $500,000.
Despite the huge profits made by the companies that produce these shows, many of the workers - including writers, production assistants, contestant coordinators, craft services, and office workers - work long hours without receiving overtime compensation or being allowed to take proper breaks.
According to Harsh Reality, a study released last fall by the Writers Guild of America, West, reality TV workers report widespread violations of wage and hour law, including failure to pay overtime, provide meal periods, and maintain accurate payroll records. The study also revealed that many of these workers do not receive any form of health care or pension benefits.
Press conference with workers from hit reality TV shows American Idol, Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader?, So You Think You Can Dance, Gene Simmons' Family Jewels, Amazing Race, American Inventor, On The Lot, and others.
Speakers to include: Deputy District Director Kan Matoo, representing Assemblyman Lloyd Levine (AD-40), UCLA Center for Labor Research and Education Director Sharon Delugach, Teamsters Local 399 Organizing Director Steve Dayan, reality TV workers, and more to be announced.
Tuesday, April 8, 2008 - 11:00 a.m.

The Boston area got a taste of the Milwaukee flavor on Sunday which was August 24, 2014. Local bands The Laszlos and Sinnet were joined by Wisconsin-based groups Twin Brother and Old Earth at T.T. & The Bears Place in Cambridge.
What was the atmosphere for this half Bostonian, half Milwaukee scene? It was eclectic. The opening band was The Laszlos. The vocalist had a look akin to the Ramones, but had a voice more like Kurt Cobain. Using heavy distortion, they had a punk attitude with alternative rock rhythms. The audience responded well to the heavier sound when they covered a Motorhead song. We savored the heavy metal ending to their set.
Old Earth went on next. This was a really chill solo act. He passionately played the guitar and sang with his eyes closed. If you were paying attention, you would see that he was playing along with some pre-recorded material. It made us think of when the band broke up in Flight of the Conchords and Jemaine used a tape in place of Bret. Old Earth pulled it off in a classy way.
Twin Brother really stood out with their folk rock. The guitarist and vocalist is Sean Raasch. His voice is distinctive, mature beyond his actual years. Tyler Nelson enjoys the versatility of percussion and would regularly change from drum sticks to rakes. Lodewijk Broekhuizen plays the violin and the bass, transitioning smoothly.
The last band to play was Sinnet. They describe themselves as follows: "Sinnet plays adventurous, moody, indie-pop tangled up in fuzz and spooky bits."
We spoke with Sean Raasch and "Lodi" Lodewijk Broekhuizen of Twin Brother after their set.
LaPrade: "Your new album 'Swallow the Anchor' was named after a sailor's metaphor. Can you explain that and how it's relevant to your band?
Raasch: "It refers to how sailors retire. The guys in our band are getting older and sometimes we feel like giving up, but we keep pushing on, we keep fighting it."
LaPrade: "How did you guys come up with the name Twin Brother?"
Raasch: "My father had a twin brother. It's a tribute to his twin. He died of a brain tumor."
LaPrade: "Do you guys regularly perform at large or small venues? What do you prefer?"
Raasch: "This venue is as big as it gets. We've actually played in some living rooms without a microphone and some house parties. The intimacy of a small show is nice. You know everyone is paying attention, as opposed to a bar situation. The sound is quiet, but powerful. On the other hand, the bigger venues are nice, because they have better sound equipment.
LaPrade: "I noticed that there are some decals on the bass. What's on there?"
Broekhuizen: "That's actually a bass that I bought from someone 'as is'. I didn't want to rip them off. I like the DiMarzio pickups. It's actually a rock and roll bass, perhaps not the most appropriate for this genre, but fun."
LaPrade: "Lodi, you also play the violin. Is it hard to transition from one to the other? Is it like switching languages?"
Broekhuizen: "In the technical sense, you move your fingers further on a bass, but the bass is easy compared to the violin. I've played the violin my whole life. I picked up the bass, but I'm not Jaco Pastorius. I'm not doing anything particularly innovative with the bass. In your head you just have to make the jump from the melody of the violin to the rhythm of the bass."
LaPrade: "I noticed that you guys played a lot of the songs from your new album 'Swallow the Anchor,' do you guys have a favorite song?"
Broekhuizen: "I like 'Secret Talks'."
Raasch: "My favorite is 'If Heart Was Enough'. Tyler's favorite is probably 'Fire Fire Fire'. He likes a lot of ornamentation, anything really textural for an orchestra sound for the percussion. We've even done recordings of just him playing with the cymbals."
There you have it, the inside scoop from Twin Brother. Feel free to follow them on Twitter, like them on Facebook and most importantly, listen to their music.

People share information about themselves every day by using store loyalty cards, internet search engines, social networking sites, and online coupons. Many people — like the character in this video — decide that the benefits of these services are worth sharing some personal information with businesses, ad networks, and others.
But what if you shared information simply by walking through your local mall with your phone? What if businesses used your phone's Wi-Fi signal to track your movements through their stores? And what if they did it without your knowledge or okay? The FTC plans to raise those questions in a seminar on Mobile Device Tracking on February 19, 2014. It's the first event of our Spring Privacy Series.
Scam artists are forever trying to trick people into clicking on links that will download malware to their computers. But the latest scam takes the tricks to a new low. Scammers are sending bogus emails with the subject line "funeral notification." The message appears to be from a legitimate funeral home, offers condolences, and invites you to click on a link for more information about the upcoming "celebration of your friend's life service." But instead of sending you to the funeral home's website, the link sends you to a foreign domain where the scammers download malware to your computer.
Malware, short for "malicious software," includes viruses and spyware that get installed on your computer without your consent. These programs can cause your device to crash and can be used to monitor and control your online activity. Criminals use malware to steal personal information, send spam, and commit fraud.
A free iPad?! A $1,000 gift card? And all for clicking on a "YOU HAVE BEEN SELECTED FOR A PRIZE" text message you got out of the blue?
Say someone searched your name online. What do you think they'd find? What if some clicking brought them to things like your medical history, notes from psychiatric sessions or kids' medical exams, or your Social Security and driver's license number?
If you don't like the sound of that, you might be interested to know that the FTC has announced a settlement with GMR Transcription Services, a company that promised "Security Measures to Protect Your Confidentiality," for failing to protect personal information.
Strapped for cash? You might think an online payday loan is a quick and easy way to help stretch your money. But before you enter your bank account or any other personal information on a payday loan website, back away from the keyboard! That online payday loan might be a window to a scam.
Quick. In 2012, what was the number one complaint submitted to the FTC?
You guessed it: Identity theft. And it has been the number one complaint for 13 years straight.
That makes Data Privacy Day the ideal time to think about how you can protect your identity.
Latanya Sweeney, the FTC's Chief Technologist, recently told us that something as simple as an online resume could be a treasure trove for identity thieves. It turns out that a web search can reveal the names, Social Security numbers, and birthdates of thousands of people because this information appears in many online resumes.
Another day, another announcement about a data breach.
As news trickles out about retailers that have been hacked, you may be wondering what you can do to protect yourself from fraud. Even if you're not sure that your accounts have been affected, you can do a few things to protect your accounts, your money, and your credit reputation.
Data Privacy Day is just around the corner — January 28. What a good time to do something about protecting your personal information, online and off.
Being a victim of identity theft can be complicated and frustrating. While it may take time to figure out what happened and begin to fix the damage from this crime, there are programs and trained victim service providers available to help you through the process.
Quick: name a way your kids could rack up hundreds of dollars in charges in under 15 minutes without you being the wiser.
One answer: through an app on your iPhone or other Apple device.
Today, the FTC announced that it has reached a settlement with Apple, resolving allegations that the company didn't get parental consent for many of the charges racked up by their children in kids' games.

classic cobb salad
When I am considering recipes I might share with you all, there are a lot of foods that I arbitrarily rule out. Sandwiches? Nope! With rare exception, who needs a recipe for slapping things between two pieces of bread? Fruit salad? Oof! No! Again, unless you're doing something fancy–fancy to it, I'm pretty sure people can find their own path to chopped fruit in a bowl. So when I got to thinking about making an old-school Cobb salad a couple months ago, I quickly rejected it because given the Cobb salad's ubiquity on lunch menus everywhere, who doesn't know how to make it?

Create the ultimate TV experience
Published: Friday, November 16, 2012 at 10:58 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 16, 2012 at 10:58 a.m.
High-definition televisions were once the sole property of consumer electronic enthusiasts with deep pockets.
For those on the cutting edge: LG 84LM9600 ($19,999) or Sony XBR-84X900 ($24,999). Both of these 84-inch LED, 3D-capable displays boast the latest 4K viewing technology and every bell and whistle you can think of.
For those happy with 1080p: Sharp Elite Pro-70X5FD ($8,500). A 70-inch LCD (LED-backlit) 3D-capable set that surpasses any other standard HD viewing experience.
For those who want to show off: Sony VPL-VW1000ES digital projector ($25,000), Stewart FireHawk series screen (up to $17,000 for 100+ inch-screen), and a specially designed room full of high-end speakers, preamps, amps and media players.
But in a few short years, HDTVs have become commonplace in American homes. Basic sets can be had for around $500, and are more than adequate for most home-viewing applications.
That doesn't mean there aren't bigger, better and lavishly more expensive options that can still wow even the most jaded early adopter or ding the budget of the obscenely wealthy. But most of us would never consider spending more than a fraction of our income on home entertainment.
Let's do away with that fiscal caution for a little while and play "what if?" What if you were one of those private-jet flying, Lamborghini-driving types who doesn't care what their toys cost? What if you were handed a blank check to create a little slice of IMAX heaven in your own house?
The first place to look is at the front edge of the technology wave. The really expensive sets are there, and the latest to hit the retail market are those with 4K resolution capability.
Sony and LG have announced the release of 84-inch 4K sets, which deliver four times the resolution of any 1080p HDTV and almost 10 times what your old Zenith could manage (the numbers correspond to the pixels per "line" on the screen; more pixels mean better picture definition, hence the name high definition.)
Each of these behemoths will set you back $20,000 or more. And since 4K resolution is, for all intents and purposes, lost on the human eye and there is virtually no 4K media available yet, having one of these in your house amounts to little more than a monument to excess. But you can afford it, right?
If you want to stick to the "older" technology, Sharp's Elite Pro-70X5FD, at $8,500, is an excellent choice. This 70-inch LCD (LED backlit) display comes equipped with everything you'd ever need for high-end viewing.
There's also a 60-inch model for "only" $4,500, if your room's a little smaller.

Young Writers asked: What's the big idea?
Express Media is proud to announce the Young Writers Innovation Prize – a new program of support for young Australian writers, funded by the Copyright Agency Cultural Fund.
This prize is a one-of-a-kind opportunity for young writers, giving them a chance to take a new writing or publishing idea and bring it to life. Writers from all genres and all parts of Australia are encouraged to pitch their idea to Express Media. The idea will need to demonstrate innovation in the field of literature and/or publication. It could include anything; from writing for zines, e-zines, comics, multimedia, websites, live performances, spoken word. If you're aged under 30 in 2013 and think you've got a big idea, we want to hear from you.
Express Media will award a first prize for $4,000 to make the winning project a reality. Second and third prizes of $1,000 and $500 will be awarded respectively, giving them a valuable kick-start to reaching their goals. The key to submissions being short-listed in the prize will be that they show innovation in the outcomes or approach to the project. Applicants are also encouraged to make their project sustainable beyond the initial prize.
"We know young people have great ideas, because they come to us with them all the time," says Express Media CEO Joe Toohey. "This is your chance to pitch your own project to us. We want to be excited. We know we will be!"
For more information about the prize, including the guidelines and cover sheet, visit the Express Media website at www.expressmedia.org.au.

BYESVILLE - Both St. John Central and Shadyside have rich traditions in the sport of cross country.
The two schools found themselves in the winner's circle once again here Saturday morning at the annual Cal Pokas OVAC Cross Country Championship.
For the Fighting Irish of Coach Jeremy Midei, the most recent victory marks the school's 10th conference title and now eighth in a row.

cross country
Shadyside, meanwhile, hasn't made room in its gymnasium for a distance running banner since 1999 when the Tigers' boys and girls swept the crowns. The Lady Tigers ended the drought at Meadowbrook High School with a decisive victory in the small-school race.
ST. JOHN came into the meet thinking it could contend with St. Clairsville for the overall title. However, when the dust settled, Midei was left wondering if his team had done enough to hold off an impressive effort from Barnesville.
However, once the scores had been tabulated, the Irish finished with 111 points, which was five fewer than the Shamrocks.

SHADYSIDE'S Tara Tollett heads toward the finish line. She was the top Lady Tigers' runner during the OVAC?meet, which fueled Shadyside to the Class 1-A/2-A team title.
ST. JOHN Central's Ramon Nieves was the Irish's top runner Saturday at the OVAC?Cross Country Championship. He finished fifth overall and second in the small-school division. Additional images may be found at cu.timesleaderonline.com
BARNESVILLE'S Wesley Lewis finished second overall and helped the Shamrocks to a third-place overall finish and second place in their class.
"It was a bittersweet race for us," Midei said. "We knew coming in that St. Clairsville and Barnesville had very good teams, so it was going to be an up-hill battle. I wish we had competed better than we did (for the overall title)."
Through the first three runners on the respective teams, the Shamrocks held a lead over the Irish. However, St. John's fourth and fifth runners made up the deficit.
"Barnesville ran a great race...probably the best race they've ran all season," Midei said. "I think both teams deserved to win. I am certainly stoked we were able to pull it out. No offense to Barnesville, but we didn't expect it to be as close as it was. That's just a testament to how well they ran."
The Irish were led by their veteran, Ramon Nieves and Matt Riffle. Both were members of the Irish state championship team in 2008. Nieves finished fifth overall in 16:36. Riffle, meanwhile, was sixth in 16:45.
Junior Matt Thomas was the third Irish runner to cross the line. He did so in 22nd place in a time of 17:39.
Sophomore Corey Leasure was 28th overall and fourth for St. John, while senior Cory Foster rounded out the scorers for St. John with a 52nd place finish overall.
"We certainly didn't have our best race," Midei said. "We wanted to go out and do what we do and we weren't able to do that today. I wish I knew what it was. It wasn't just one guy, so it's obviously something we did cumulatively as a team that didn't work."
The aforementioned Shamrocks turned in a brilliant performance. Their dymnaic senior duo of Wesley Lewis and Brennan Delaney paved the way.
Lewis was second overall and first in the small-school division in 16:23, which is a personal best. Delaney, meanwhile, finished a second and place behind his teammate.
Sophomore Brandon Stephens turned in a sharp run as well. He finished 10th overall in 17:00.
Cameron's Austin Chambers was seventh in the small-school race. He ran 3.1 miles in 17:12.
THE SHADYSIDE Lady Tigers came into the wide-open small-school race as one of the teams to watch.
Coach Laura Gouldsberry's squad didn't disappoint, finishing with 214 points, which was fifth overall.
"I really think our girls ran the best they could today," Gouldsberry said. "We had some cramps during the race, but they pulled through in the end and we're coming home with the title."
The title is the school's first under anyone other than Donna Joseph's watch.
"The girls really wanted today," Gouldsberry said. "We're a fairly young team, but I think we're more known because we're out there racing and scoring points. This is big for us going into the postseason and hopefully we can build on it."
Leading the charge for the Lady Tigers was sophomore Tara Tollett who was 25th overall in 21:00. Junior Brooke Meintel was 29th overall and second for the Lady Tigers.
Shadyside's scoring was rounded out by sophomore Hayley Holenka (51st), junior Jillian Laslo (63rd) and senior Karlie Amato (78th).
Barnesville's Lina Partridge was 21st overall and third in the small-school division. St. John's junior Lindy Stauffer was 24th overall and fourth in 1-A/2-A.
Wheeling Central's Jesse John led the Knights. She was seventh in small-school. Cameron's Sarah Smith was eighth.
River, which finished second in the team race, was led by Laken Ramsay who was ninth in the small school division.

Ros Rowlison: Bring Back Mondo Thingo
Bring Back Mondo Thingo
Jude Stringfellow: Faith the two legged dog is mine
I hope 5 is the top! Thanks for your interest in my dog Faith. She is truly a wonderful dog, and I hope she does reach "star" status, she would have a great time meeting all the people along the way. If you know anyone in your country that would like to come over and film her please let me know! Faith is always available for an interview, she loves the attention.
jackie: ... so long, farewell
To the truly entertaining folk at Mondo Thingo: I thoroughly enjoyed the final (as the remainder of the year) until I was informed you were not returning in 2005. That is a travesty (!) and I naively hold out hope that enough complaints to the ABC will see the powers that be change their ever-loving minds (!!).
But failing that, good luck to you all in whatever future endeavours place you back on our screens. Specifically to Amanda and Steve - you two have such a natural and charming repartee with each other, I'd like to see you two back together discussing anything from 16th Century torture methods to the worst boob jobs post Tori. I know Hack's only 30 minutes but you could squeeze it in.
Thanks for all the Thursday night laughs, jackie
Jazmine Rooney: spanish song
hey amanda I wanted to know if you can play an spanish video called dame otro tequila by singer paulina rubio. why dont you make an spanish music special?
Ben Hughes: Mondo no moreo
Why is there no more thingo?
kellie: Kimba The White Lion
I'm 38 yrs old and my fav show when I was little was Kimba. I sat in front of the telly episode upon episode and sobbed my little heart out. Are these series available on video or dvd and if so where I can get a hold of them.
Yes, the Kimba series is available on DVD. Search the web - there are several online DVD 'stores' that stock it.
venus in furs: lipstick & tears
May I first add to the general and very legitimate consensus that mondo will be severely missed and the television will seem a strange and desolate wateland after mondo's premature departure.
That said and tears dutifully shed I have a very important question that needs immediate attention: what lipstick is Amanda wearing in the opening credits? I must have it.
Robn: Don't go, don't go
I would like to add my voice to the general weeping and wailing that is sweeping the nation at the thought of the end of Mondo Thingo. How can we stop this lamentable and catastrophic thing from happening? Please, please come back in 2005 Amanda.
gwenda: Steve Cannane
Amanda Where did you find the seriously Gorgeous Steve Cannane ?
Going to miss his smile and your show will be missed very much.
Pete : Re: Goodbye
Thursday nights just won't be the same!
Narelle: Not Happy People
Well, i have to say, i am devistated! A show filled with witt, intelligence, fun, funky settings and wardobes, gone! why would they want to stop that? Who's next? Margaret and David?
Nick: Blah
not the right song. Its at the begginning of the 'wrap-up of the years entertainment' movie thing. the song is all drums and theres a really catchy flute part. In the wrap up movie, theres a little footage of a concert where the song is being performed. any idea what the song is called? or who its by?
Great show btw, lots of laughs. It will be missed.
Brian Franklin: my vote - bring back Mondo!
To the ABC management,
please do another season of my favourite show Mondo Thingo!
I am an avid ABC listener and watcher who usually only tunes into documentaries and news. However this is one low brow entertainment I try never to miss.
Perhaps Amanda you should ask for less money?
Lee Harris: Don't go!
I have loved Mondo Thingo from the start. It is the most perfect show for today. Amanda, you are the most perfect host for the show, and the show is the most perfect show for you. No-one could do it just the way you do. I'm very sad it won't be coming back. Please send this on to the 'powers that be' at the ABC. Hopefully they'll reconsider their short-sighted decision. Lee
I absolutely loved Mondo thingo and can't believe it is getting axed! Why?!I know nothing seems to stay on the Thursday night slots for very long but this show is gold,prime tv material-good job amanda!Me and everyone I know who watches will be waiting on edge for it's return, thanks for making thursdays so good!

(11 p.m. EST) -- Update: At approximately 4:30 Saturday afternoon, the Coast Guard suspended its search for the missing passenger, and Monarch of the Seas has completed its New Year's voyage.
(10:33 p.m. EST) -- A woman onboard Royal Caribbean's Monarch of the Seas was reported missing at 12:15 p.m. on Thursday. Shipboard surveillance video later showed the passenger jumping overboard at 4:11 a.m. The Coast Guard is leading a search, but the woman has not yet been found.
The missing passenger, identified as 23-year-old Neha Chhikara in a Coast Guard report, was not only a guest onboard but the wife of a crewmember, according to Royal Caribbean's statement. She was last seen at 3:45 a.m. when the ship was sailing from Nassau to CocoCay. Once she was reported missing the following afternoon, both the ship and CocoCay, Royal Caribbean's private island, were thoroughly searched. Ship authorities notified the Bahamian government and the U.S. Coast Guard, which launched a search using a Falcon jet, Jayhawk helicopter and the Coast Guard Cutter Cormorant.
Video footage later revealed that the woman had jumped from Deck 11, port side. Royal Caribbean's Guest Care Team is providing support to her husband.
Monarch of the Seas was on a five-night Bahamas cruise, sailing from Port Canaveral. The ship is scheduled to return on January 2.

Luiz Felipe Scolari left no surprises for his national team selection on Wednesday. Brazil begun their World Cup campaign with 23 players as they look to earn the "hexa" this summer in their own backyard.
Toronto FC goalkeeper Julio César made history as he became the first Brazilian international to play in North America that will take part in the World Cup. Two surprises were the addition of Napoli man Henrique as well as the addition of Paris-St. Germain left back Maxwell.
There is also the exclusion of Kaká, who many thought would sneak in, but that was not the case for the AC Milan man. Also Maicon was added on despite the callup of Bayern Munich man Rafinha in the latter stages of the preparation process.
Goalkeepers: Julio César (Toronto FC-CAN), Jefferson (Botafogo) , Victor (Atlético-MG)
Defenders: Thiago Silva (PSG-FRA), David Luiz (Chelsea-ENG), Dante (Bayern Munich-GER), Dani Alves (FC Barcelona-ESP), Marcelo (Real Madrid-ESP), Henrique (Napoli-ITA), Maicon (AS Roma-ITA), Maxwell (PSG-FRA)
Midfielders: Ramires (Chelsea-ENG), Willian (Chelsea-ENG), Paulinho (Tottenham Hotspur-ENG), Oscar (Chelsea-ENG), Fernandinho (Manchester City), Hernanes (Internazionale FC-ITA), Luiz Gustavo (Wolfsburg-GER)
Forwards: Fred (Fluminense), Jô (Atlético-MG), Neymar (FC Barcelona-ESP), Bernard (Shahktar Donetsk-UKR), Hulk (Zenit St. Petersburg- RUS)

The Magical History Tour, which features an extensive tour of Beatles-related places in the Los Angeles area, will turn the Feb. 9 tour into a little mystery trip, tour operator Gillian Lomax tells Beatles Examiner.
"I will go to a few places that I've not visited before on the tour," she sold. "(I) will go by the house where the Beatles showed up in Brentwood for a charity fundraiser for a hemophilia foundation (benefit) in 1964." She said the tour will also go to Dodger Stadium which is where the Beatles played their last concert in LA.
The tour, which starts at 10 and runs around 31/2 to four hours, and includes stops in Santa Monica, Bel-Air, Brentwood and Los Angeles, takes fans to the places where the Beatles lived, where they frequented, venues where they have performed and the studio where they recorded, including Blue Jay Way, the Hollywood Bowl, the Troubadour, the Capitol Tower and the Jim Henson Studio (formerly A&M).
For more information, see the tour website.

Mitch Zamojc gives most of the credit for success to his team. "You can't win the Stanley Cup with one player," he said. "I will say to anybody that it's the best group of people, the most dedicated, the most passionate, helpful team possible. You can't win [APWA Top 10] without it, you really can't." Zamojc has been commissioner for the rapidly growing Region of Peel in Ontario for the past 25 years.
During high school, Zamojc realized that he wanted to pursue a technical career. After earning an engineering degree, he worked two or three jobs before entering the municipal field. Although his technical training helped prepare him for his position, people skills and building strong teams have been the most beneficial factors.
One of the Region of Peel's main goals is to divert 70% of its solid waste away from landfills by 2016. There are multiple phases to accomplish this. An organics plant with greater capacity is needed to handle kitchen wastes. "Residents need opportunities to divert and to deal with their waste if we want them to divert," said Zamojc. The current three-bag limit on garbage will be reduced to two bags. Anything beyond that must be tagged and paid for.
Large facilities are being constructed for waste management in the Region of Peel. These include single stream recycling, organics processing, and transfer stations. Large trunk sewers are being tunneled.
The Region of Peel's population increases by about 30,000 people each year. A master plan is in place, along with infrastructure plans to accommodate growth. Expansion is one of the biggest issues affecting waste collection, wastewater treatment, roads, and traffic.
Zamojc has found public works to be a rewarding field. "You can achieve a lot of personal satisfaction because you can begin projects, finish projects, and see tangible evidence of them," he said. "If you're in a public works profession or engineering profession you essentially touch everything. Everywhere you look there is some aspect of engineering."
On being selected for APWA's Top 10 Leaders of 2005, Zamojc said, "I'm humbled by it. I've met many people over the years, at APWA conferences and so on, and there are many very, very good leaders. To be in that group is a humbling experience."
William P. Baxter, P.E.: Public works director Orange County Public Works, Orlando, Fla.
Bill Baxter stands at the helm of one of the biggest public works agencies in Florida, with an operational budget of $70 million and a capital improvement budget of nearly S200 million. In addition to his role as public works director, Baxter serves as county engineer. Understandably, his myriad duties keep him busy, usually away from his office. "For the past couple of weeks, I've hardly seen him for more than 20 seconds at a time," said Ralyne West-enhofer. Baxter's executive assistant.
In addition to juggling an insane schedule, Baxter's significant challenges include tangling with the infrastructure of a bustling, swiftly growing area. "We live in a community of 1 million people impacted by 500,000 visitors weekly," said Baxter. 'The challenge of growth makes Orange County a unique area. It has placed a burden on our infrastructure that is difficult to match."
One solution: building public-private partnerships to facilitate much-needed infrastructure improvements. For example, for road construction projects, Baxter encourages developers to provide the required right of way and construction plans, while the county funds the construction itself. This innovative approach enables his agency to build many more miles of roads than would be possible otherwise.
"By combining our resources, we have been able to be successful," said Baxter. When Baxter joined the agency in 1982, Orange County had 300 miles of unpaved, maintained roads. Today, all of those roads are paved.
Baxter finds time to be an active citizen outside of his work as public works director. He has served as an adult leader in the Boy Scouts of America, garnering the District Award of Merit for his contributions. He also gives time to his church, working on the parish school board and, as a member of the church building committee, overseeing construction of a new $1 million facility.
Cheryl F. Creson: Municipal Services Agency administrator Sacramento County, Calif.
You might be surprised to find a registered nurse in public works, but looking at Cheryl Creson's list of duties and achievements, it's not such a big stretch. As head of Sacramento County's Municipal Services Agency (MSA), one of her primary responsibilities is protecting her community's health.
After graduating from nursing school, Creson decided an additional degree would help her career. She ended up obtaining bachelors and masters degrees in civil engineering, spent two years working for Malcolm Pirnie in New York City, then six years with Montgomery Watson in Walnut Creek, Calif. From there, she entered public service, working for California's Central Contra Costa Sanitation District, then the Sacramento County Water Quality Department. When the director of county engineering retired, she took his place, and she was promoted to director of public works in 2003.
In March 2004, Creson was appointed administrator of the newly formed MSA, which aims to combine public works, community development, and neighborhood assistance efforts to provide optimal service to urbanized, unincorporated areas in the face of expansion.
"The change was made to reflect what is occurring in the county today; growth is rapid and developed areas are incorporating," said Creson. "Urbanized unincorporated areas are requesting services similar to those of a city."
In addition to several fast-growing communities, the county also hosts the state capital. Creson "s agency brings together a range of bodies, including water quality, solid waste, water supply, transportation, and air quality groups. The agency is undergoing a two-year review process to gauge its effectiveness and public satisfaction. While bringing such diverse factions together has been challenging, Creson said she has learned much from the process.
"Working with the two cultures (planners and engineers) has been fun," she said. "I have grown to understand and appreciate the longer term and creative planning process in contrast to some of the linear, more time-constrained engineering thought processes."
Since entering public works in the 1980s, Creson has learned a great deal about what it takes to be a successful public works professional. "Interpersonal, writing, and presentation skills are among the most respected skills for a public works manager," said Creson. "Your technical solution may be the right solution, but you need to convince others that it is the right solution. You also need patience and flexibility in your approach to work."
And as demanding as life as a public works leader can be, Creson said, it has its rewards. "Satisfaction can come from the technical challenge of developing an engineering solution to a problem, but additional gratification comes from working with a team to achieve buy-in from interested parties and negotiating agreement to reflect the buy-in," said Creson.
Leslie Bland got into the public works field at the ground level—literally. An experienced backhoe and grader operator, he answered an ad for a skilled laborer position with Fenton, Mich., in 1969 and was hired. He rose through the ranks and has served as director of public works since 1979.
During his tenure, Bland has implemented improvements to the city and his department. "My proudest accomplishments would be the building of our new Department of Public Works garage and our new water treatment facility, which opened within the last two years," said Bland. "Both these buildings were badly needed and now are state-of-the-art."
Another contribution is the city's capital improvement program (CIP), which Bland put forth during his early days as director. The plan annually allocates a minimum of $200,000 to construct and maintain Fenton's 40 miles of local streets. The CIP established the first year of the plan's projects for implementation in the next fiscal year and laid out four more years of proposed projects for the council to review. The program helped increased his department's efficiency, improved quality of life, and helped keep the peace in the city.
Bland shows a great deal of pride in the municipality he has served for more than three decades. "We have lots of areas around us with many lakes and attractions for our residents and we are no more than half an hour from several large cities," he said. "Our school system is very good. We have approximately 170 acres of park area—one having a beach with lifeguards—and our housing is second to none at a very-affordable cost. Most people say we are a small town with big-city attractions."
And while Fenton might not be a big metropolis like nearby Detroit, that doesn't mean Bland's job doesn't present big challenges. "Each day brings in new problems to deal with, along with construction, maintenance, and overseeing all aspects of the water system, sewer system, roads, and parks. Days go by very quickly and problems seem to never end. I like a challenge and this type of work fits me just fine."

Need a little more organization in your life now that school has begun? Jennifer from Pink When has an easy an expensive way to turn cardboard tubes into a cute little desk caddy.
Jennifer got this project started by saving the cardboard tubes at her house. If you use toilet paper or paper towels….you'll have these readily available, too. Jennifer trimmed her tubes to the lengths she needed, and dressed them up with some pretty shelf lining adhesive paper. She also covered a small cardboard box with the adhesive paper, too. Then, Jennifer lined up the tubes inside the box and filled them with all the things she likes to keep handy on her desk. Looks great!
