Posted by J
Hiring Peter Iocona as my lawyer was the best decision I ever made. This process was the most difficult experience of my life and I could not have done it without him.
I researched several attorneys and firms, but ultimately decided to go with Peter because of his frankness, willingness to communicate and empathy that he showed me from the very beginning. I knew from my initial consultation that he was extremely knowledgeable about the nuances of the law surrounding DUI's specifically. His aptitude and abilities as an experienced DUI lawyer were evident from our first conversation, but more importantly I felt that he would fight for me to the best of his abilities.
Peter, Marlo Cordero and their team of legal professionals are great at what they do. They had the foresight to meticulously gather the necessary evidence, interviews of witnesses and all of the proper documentation that we needed for the courts. They worked very hard of my behalf to navigate the lengthy and complex legal system and communicated with me regularly during each step of the process.
When we ultimately decided to take the case to trial I was confident that Peter would do everything he could to fight for the best possible outcome of my case. He worked on my case personally and was at my side every day from the beginning of the jury selection process to the end of the trial. He handled my case brilliantly through his knowledge of the law, experience as a DUI trial attorney, and by bringing in scientific experts in the field to testify on my behalf. His moves in court were smart, charismatic, tactful and calculated. After an emotionally grueling ordeal, Peter ultimately won my case and I couldn't be more thankful. I feel like I was given a second chance at life and I owe him an immense debt of gratitude.
The bottom line is that you absolutely need an excellent lawyer if you are ever stuck in this unfortunate situation. It's an uphill battle from the start and you need every advantage you can get. I cannot recommend Peter highly enough. He is one of the best DUI attorneys you can get hands down. There are no guarantees in this process or in its outcomes, but do yourself a favor and hire Peter to fight for you. It will be the best money you ever spent and you won't regret it.

I was pulled over, arrested, and charged with DUI in 2011. Some DUI cases are text book. You plead guilty of DUI and serve a suspension followed up by classes and fines. If your case is even remotely abnormal like mine was, YOU NEED HELP! I couldn't take time off of work since I travel for work. I needed a lawyer who knew exactly what to do and do it for me. Peter Iocona did exactly that. His knowledge and experience really showed when my case got tricky. All I can say is if you use Peter you will not regret it.

Being arrested for driving under the influence was one of the most unsettling experiences I have ever had to deal with. Having never been in this situation before, I was not sure where to turn. Fortunately, I was referred to Peter Iocana.
Peter and his office were extremely professional and really easy to work with. They handled everything from beginning to end. They responded promptly to emails and calls and always kept me abreast on any case updates.
And as to the outcome of my case, it was way beyond what I could have hoped for; due to Peter's diligence, the case was not filed by the district attorney!
If you are ever in an unfortunate situation that requires legal representation, I highly recommend Peter and his team.

Peter is a lawyer I trust, he has answers and he gets the job done. I cal lPeter when I want to discuss a case because I appreciate his intelligence and his wisdom. I know of no higher compliment - except he also cares about what he does. Peter is a very good lawyer and an even better person.

Dear Peter & Alan,
I would like to sincerely thank you for the great job that you did representing me on my DUI citation. I was very nervous and stressed having to deal with this. You both handled my case very professionally and made me feel very comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process.
I was referred to you by a friend of mine who has used you in the past and also had a great experience with the both of you. He said if anyone can beat the charges it is Peter and Alan and he was right. Peter was successful in getting the DMV charges dismissed which included a possible 1 year license suspension due to breathalyzer refusal allegations. Alan was successful in the courts negotiating my DUI allegations down to a reckless driving and avoiding a DUI conviction. You both make an incredible legal team that I will always appreciate and refer you both to my family and friends.

I highly recommend the law offices of Barry T. Simons and their staff. I was referred to this law firm with the highest respect and reverence through a personal source. I was told they are bulldogs in the courtroom and I would have the best defense if I retained their firm. I immediately visited their offices and was greeted by hundreds of testimonials and thank you letters displayed in multiple binders within their waiting room. After meeting with Mr. Simons I felt more at ease.The process of my case and all my questions were answered extensively. It was clear that this was a good team of lawyers. I was given tips and solutions to better my situation that same day. I decided to use this law firm for my case and I am so grateful that I did. Peter Iocona represented me and I have never seen a better defense lawyer. I felt like I was in proficient, skilled and very qualified hands every step of the way. Not only is Iocona highly intellectual and quick witted but he developed a concise and well constructed plan of discovery to represent me. It was clear that Peter Iocona's reputation in court far succeeded him. My case was completely dismissed and I hold Peter Iocona in the highest regard. This law office is the only way to go.

I am anonymously writing this review to enlighten you on the spectacular experience I had while going through a very traumatic time last year. I unfortunately was arrested for a second DUI while coming home from a Christmas party. I am employed as a healthcare professional and having this conviction on my record would have heavily encroached on my ability to practice due to the proposed ramifications imposed on me by my licensing board. I was referred to Peter, Alan, and Barry from a colleague and felt immediately comforted when I walked in their office (as compared to the prior 2 attorneys I had interviewed). Peter who is a walking encyclopedia of Law dealing with DUI opened my case with the DMV hearing and through his meticulous review of the police videos, he was quickly able to identify inconsistencies and bias directed towards myself(due to my previous conviction) despite all of the evidence at the scene identified that I was not the driver. He further highlighted these facts during the deposition taken by the arresting officer in a nonthreatening manner that made the officer feel comfortable and open to reveal the potential that his judgment may have been incorrect. This set the tone for the entire case that eventually achieved the optimal outcome (an arduous and tedious year long struggle that placed my family and me under significant amount of stress). I had multiple long conversations with Peter during that time frame and through his candid yet optimistic style of customer service, I was able to cope with confidence that my case was being managed by an expert in his field (allowing me to sleep at night!). These numerous informal meetings were had at various times in the day (many after office hours) to fit my busy schedule. Peter always called on time when an appointment was scheduled to keep my updated with each step of progress as the case evolved. Over the year I was working with Peter, I was witness to the diligence he put forth towards not only my case but managing the collateral damage created by dealing with my licensing board. Peter and his associates were, through a collaborative effort, able to deliver the optimal result in my case. The one thing I would like to highlight is the fact that when you hire Peter, you are not only employing one attorney, you are hiring an entire team of lawyers who specialize in this specific type of scenario. During the process of dealing with my case, I by chance, came across an article written in the OC Metro rating the top law firms in Orange County and was comforted to see Peter's firm listed in the top 5 (in no specific order). I through this challenging experience, I can state with confidence that if you are placed in the uncomfortable situation I was in, you need an attorney that is not only going to treat you like a client, but a unique individual (husband, father, professional, or whatever moniker you wear). I am indebted to your passion and diligence you have shown to the management of my case during the most trying time of my life that nearly ended my career and marriage. Bad things happen to good people. In challenging times, you need to place your trust in an attorney that is not only an expert but an advocate to your cause. Peter is that individual! P.S. My case closed in late October and I received a personal message from Peter wishing myself and my family a happy holidays. That is the type of person you get if you select Peter to represent you. Personable, professional, pragmatic!

Confused, scared, embarassed, overwhelmed, hopeless.... These are words that describe how I was feeling before talking to Peter Iocona. I had gotten arrested for a DUI and I thought my life as I knew it was over.
After talking with dozens of other DUI attorneys in Orange County, Peter was the first to make me feel calm and confident that there was hope for my case. Peter Iocona was the most trustworthy, honest, and knowledgeable lawyer I spoke with and from the moment he took on my case, he fought for me 100% of the way.
Peter was available for every question I had during this very confusing and scary period of my life. He took the time to personally meet with me and talk with me on the phone to update me on my case.
Peter handled my DMV trial (to decide if I would keep my driver's license) and I wouldn't have picked anyone else to handle that trial. Peter treated my driver's license as if he was defending his own license. I knew Peter was doing everything he could to protect me and my privilege to drive. Thanks to Peter I did not lose my license. I thank him every time I get to drive my car.
Peter Iocona is the first lawyer I would recommend to anyone who is going through this experience. I would personally recommend him to any of my family members or friends. He is dependable, honest, trustworthy, kind, funny, loyal, and knowledgeable. He is THE lawyer you want to have on your side.

At 56, I was arrested for DUI/DWI. Prior to this my only vechical violations were for minor traffic challenges like speeding tickets. I was simply not prepared for the whole experience, so I quickly sought legal counsel. After considerable research and interviews, I settled on the firm of Barry Simons in Laguna Beach. They had me write down all of the details I could recall from the start of that day up and until I was released at the police station.
A conviction would have a significant impact with my employer, my career and my reputation. I needed strong representation to have any chance in lowering the charge.
The attorneys and staff at Barry Simons firm are all very friendly, and the attorneys I spoke with about my case all seemed very knowledgeable, but my recommendation here is based on my experience of having Peter Iocona represent me at trial.
Peter ensured that I understood what the outcome could be of going to trial, while detailing how we could fight every potential argument by the DA. Granted, I have not had much experience with criminal court, but I witnessed the hard work spent on his preparation. His dedication to my defense, his ability to lay out and have me engaged throughout the process was amazing. He was able to make me understand my role, a participative role, throughout the trial. He listened to my comments about what I observed whether it was during jury selection or in witness testimony.
The trial, yes, a lot was on the line for me personally, but I sincerely believe that everyone was impressed with how Peter conducted my defense from start to finish. He was affable to all, he endeared himself to the court (bailiff, clerk, judge) from a friendly but highly professional manner. As a defense lawyer should, he made it very clear to each member of the jury that it was the DA's responsibility to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt (emphasizing that if even only one point failed that reasonable test. a not guilty decision must be returned).
He took some non-traditional tactics as well, like reserving opening remarks, allowing the DA to tell his story first. In cross-examination, he consistently demonstrated to the court that he was more informed on how to conduct the Field Sobriety Tests (FST's) then the arresting officer. He did so without showing malice to the officer, but clearly showed reasonable doubt on how the FST's were conducted. His knowledge of the science behind driving impaired was as strong (or stronger) than the DA's professional witness. Peter was able to impart the right knowledge into the jury's understanding, raising that all too important doubt.
The trial portion (after jury selection was complete) lasted two full days. Although he was prepared to bring forward defense witnesses, he discussed it with me and we agreed that the DA had not overcome reasonable doubt. Here he did another bold act, he waived the reserved opening remarks, choosing rather to rest. DA gave closing statement, but Peter in his closing emphasized every area of doubt that the jury should have.
The result? Not guilty on the second count (driving above a .08) and a 50/50 split on the first count (hung jury). The judge rendered that it was doubtful that the DA could retry the first count successfully and dismissed that count.
I shall be forever thankful to Peter for his hard work, his dedication, his success on my behalf. He is an outstanding individual professionally and in character. BTW - every single juror stayed for post trial interview and all requested his business card!

Outstanding, is all I can say about Peter Icona, he and his staff were with out a dout extremly friendly, professional, polite, understanding, and very quick to call you back if you could not reach them. Peter was able to help my 22 year old daughter who had moved back to Virginia, from California with a fail to appear on a speeding ticket, and the speeding ticket, both of them over a year old. He also helped her have the hold on her Licence removed. He waisted no time, he was able to work things out, and she was able to get her licence back, helped her into driving school, and helped her with the FTA. I am a 25 year Veteran Deputy Sheriff in Virginia, and have known many lawyers over the years, but I can say that Peter is one of the best out there. I highly recomend him to handle any cases you have. I also have to say that his office staff are very efficent, and extremly polite. You will not be disapointed with Peter.

I would like everyone to know that the datasheet for the wind vane's output voltage is wrong for the 315 degree direction. If you do a voltage divider using 5 V…. ((64.9k * 5)/(10k + 64.9k)) = 4.33V. Not 4.78 V. Please have this corrected.

Ray Bradbury's moving recollection of a vanished golden era remains one of his most enchanting novels. Dandelion Wine stands out in the Bradbury literary canon as the author's most deeply personal work, a semiautobiographical recollection of a magical small-town summer in 1928.
Twelve-year-old Douglas Spaulding knows Green Town, Illinois, is as vast and deep as the whole wide world that lies beyond the city limits. It is a pair of brand-new tennis shoes, the first harvest of dandelions for Grandfather's renowned intoxicant, the distant clang of the trolley's bell on a hazy afternoon. It is yesteryear and tomorrow blended into an unforgettable always. But as young Douglas is about to discover, summer can be more than the repetition of established rituals whose mystical power holds time at bay. It can be a best friend moving away, a human time machine that can transport you back to the Civil War, or a sideshow automaton able to glimpse the bittersweet future.
Come and savor Ray Bradbury's priceless distillation of all that is eternal about boyhood and summer.
©1946 Ray Bradbury (P)2011 Blackstone Audio, Inc.
"Bradbury is an authentic original." (Time)
"Thought Provoking Story"
This is a wonderful book which perfectly captures every human emotion and examines each one. My only complaint is that there was no pause at all between chapters, nor did the narrator say when a new chapter was beginning, which left me momentarily confused.
SciFi/Fantasy and Classics to History, Adventure and Memoirs to Social Commentary—I love and listen to it all!
"Small Town Summer, And Oh The Writing!!!"
June mornings, July noons, August evenings, each day perfect and held in a bottle of dandelion wine that can be opened in the cold and dark of winter.
"Dandelion Wine", while called a novel, is mostly a series of perfectly drawn stories, each featuring colorful characters with wants and needs, dreams and despair. Green Town is, after all, a small town with barely over a thousand people, most who know each other, know their business, wonder and wait with held breath as life rolls by.
While Paul Michael Garcia isn't my favorite narrator, he does a wonderful job here, capturing loneliness, joy, fascination and intrigue. The only problem isn't his fault but a production blip: each chapter runs straight into the next, not giving you, the listener, time to absorb, to roll around on your tongue the wonderful words and essences of what you've just heard. Bradbury writes to be heard, to be digested fully and appreciated. Each story is perfect in its own way, with beautiful last lines that just sink into you.
This might not be everybody's cup of tea. It is, after all, a simple compilation of simple lives, but oh the writing!
Ray Bradbury once said something along the lines of: When you write, you're running off a cliff and sprouting wings as you descend. With "Dandelion Wine", I truly believe he sprouted those wings and soared high above, showing us our lives, our sorrows, our joys just as we live them.
"Fantastic Writing That's Read Well!!!"
The way Ray Bradbury writes coupled with the excellent reading done by Mr. Garcia was truly a treat. The words romance you out of your daily life and back into a time where life revolved around relationships. It invites you back to small town America, where old lady's always have brunch on Sunday, old men curse their bodies as their spirits remain young. It provides hope in what sometimes seems like a dismal reality.
I love how Bradbury touches on topics that have left universal scars on almost everyone's soul. Maybe I am just too young to see how many universal events there are that unite us all in this world but Bradbury seamlessly touches all those chords playing on life's trials like a grand pianist: The result me understanding life (or at least I think I do;)...) a smidgen more.
I love how he reads the sounds of nature, you can tell he isn't half-assing it. I love how he makes the sounds for the old ladies, dials it down even more to mimic naive and pure youth. He truly does the story justice, which is rare...
No...I'd rather sip this one and enjoy it
I would love to see this narrator read the Illustrated Man...I have yet to read it, but I know he would do a great job.
"Stunningly perceptive and beautifully written"
Get ready to be transported back to a simpler time, and get ready to be transported to a future that is clarified by Bradbury's ability to sense the essence of life and what is truly important.
Say something about yourself!
"Fears and Glories of Childhood"
This mash-up book of Bradbury short stories works well as a novel (as did the Martian Chronicles). The book masterfully taps into the fears and glories of childhoood. I'm only sad that it took Bradbury's death to bump it up on my reading list. Of the two versions, I chose Paul Michael Garcia's version because the tone of his voice is youthful and I've found higher voices are easier for me to hear in the car. He did a good job, convincingly breathing life into the novel's wide variety of characters.
"Your mileage may vary"
If you haven't previously been exposed to Ray Bradbury's writing, or if you've only read (or listened to, or viewed) his more well-known works of fiction, like Fahrenheit 451, this review may not be for you. But if you grew up in the '50s or '60s - or maybe in the early '70s - these words may be helpful. If you consumed Tolkien, and were appalled by Peter Jackson's increasingly perverse interpretations of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, you'll understand where I'm coming from.
Audio interpretation of the written word is a somewhat dicey proposition. As we read, we hear a voice (or voices) in our head, speaking the words we read. When we return to the text, those same voices reappear, once again bringing the written word to life. When we revisit the text via an audio recording, the story seems changed. The voice may be in a different register, have a different timbre; and the pacing is wrong. Dramatizations can be worse, with mispronunciations, or more (or less) emotion than we felt when we read the story, or when it was read to us.
For me, Dandelion Wine carries an extra burden. It's not just fiction, but memories. My memories. Some of the events in the book happened to me, or so closely correspond with my own childhood memories, that they may as well have been part of my own past. The voice in my head as I read those words does not track them the same way they're presented on the page, but uses them as if they were signposts, leading me to a host of memories that take me back to my own childhood.
Because I'm looking to revisit my own memories, I'm looking more for narration than dramatization, because a narration frees me to recreate my own thoughts. A dramatization, especially this one by Paul Michael Garcia, forces his own version of events on me, making this an entirely different book from the one I know. The difference, and the disappointment, was so great that in the end I had to stop listening. This wasn't the Dandelion Wine I was looking for.
Your experience may be entirely different. I certainly don't fault Audible, the production company, or Mr. Garcia. The technical quality is good. But for me, this version doesn't approach the bottled summer quality of the words as they flowed from Bradbury's typewriter, onto the page, and into my mind.
"Ray B tells a story with amazing creativity!"
I can't imagine a better afternoon than sitting down and listening to a story by Mr. Bradbury and the narrator was a pleasant surprise as he came up with all of the nuances to the voices and sound affects that added a special magic.

"A Good Book. A Must Read. 😱"
Early Bradbury has a poetic lilt and cadence that is really magical and isn't found in any other science fiction writer I've ever read.
This and his Martian story are unique in that regard and being unique -- they must be enjoyed and appreciated.
Three stars is OK.
Four stars is good.
Five stars is excellent 😱
Thank goodness for Audio books. I'd never get to enjoy a book otherwise!
"charming story"
What a charming story of youth and imagination. One can only hope that every child can experience a summer such as this.
A light yet real enjoyable story. Thoroughly enjoyed. Also greatly appreciated Paul Garcia's narrating style, articulate and expressive.

How to Smooth Rough Skin
- Add a cup of baking soda to a warm bath and soak in it for 10 minutes. Skin can get rough and dry, especially in places like the heels and elbows, where the keratin cells can build up in the horny outer layer, says Vermen Verallo-Rowell, a dermatologist in Kennebunkport, Maine. "Soda helps slough off the thickened keratin and allows water to penetrate and hydrate the deeper layers of skin cells," she says.
- After your bath, apply petroleum jelly to rough spots while your skin is still damp, then slip into cotton clothing to further lock in moisture. Wear it overnight if possible.
- When the problem has cleared, include a daily moisturizer with an exfoliating alpha hydroxy acid (such as Eucerin Professional Repair Extremely Dry Skin Lotion, $8 at drugstores) in your regimen to improve your skin's suppleness and appearance.
Extra credit: Consider applying virgin coconut oil (sold at health-food stores) along with the petroleum jelly. It contains fatty acids that protect the skin's barrier function.
How to Layer Skin-Care Products
- Apply in order of consistency, lightest to heaviest, says Peter Thomas Roth, of the eponymous skin-care line. First eye cream and serum, if you use them.
- Next comes moisturizer.
- Finally, sunscreen, which you need if your moisturizer doesn't contain at least SPF 15.
Extra credit: In a pinch, you can use your eye cream as face cream. Your eye skin tends to be the most sensitive on your face, so if you can use a product there, you should be able to use it anywhere.

Despite the rumours we had all heard about LG abandoning its dedicated Blu-ray player in favour of developing an industry-first HD DVD/Blu-ray dual format device, the company gave a UK debut to the single format player last Friday.
Like Fujitsu's AVIAMO range the What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision/The Best of Stuff Show 2006 was the location and Olympic gold medal sprinter Darren Campbell was on hand to make us all feel hideously out of shape.
As with Samsung's BD-P1000 the similarly named BD100 is a Full HD/1080p capable player compatible with formats from 480i upwards. HDMI with HDCP encryption (obviously), component, coaxial and composite inputs, 5.1 audio and digital optical out are also all present and correct while playback supports both single and dual layer Blu-ray discs plus DivX, WMA and MP3 formats.
LG declined to give us a price (even when I threatened to embarrass myself by challenging Darren Campbell to a shuttle run contest) but it did say the unit would be comparable with Samsung's offering. This means a hefty tag in the region of £999 awaits us when the player ships in January.
Since the BD100 was encased in glass and LG wasn't letting us play with a controller I didn't get much chance to evaluate the unit. That said, it did appear to start discs faster that the BD-P1000 (it isn't hard to beat a minute) and should these two be the only models on the market when you decide to splash the cash early next year I'd recommend you go for the BD100 over Samsung's player.
Still, I'd recommend you go in for root canal over Samsung's player.

Review Sallés Hotel Ciutat del Prat Near Barcelona Airport
Page Content
The hotel staff are warm and helpful in answering my questions. The hotel itself has a more local and classically Spanish feel than other hotels located in the airport area - this is achieved through homely bedrooms, with floral bedding, bright colours and antique-style furniture. The communal areas such as the lobby and bar have a twenties feel to them with crystal chandeliers, marble flooring and ornate lampshades.
We met with the hotel's Sales Executive, Carlos Romero, for a tour of the hotel. He also answered some of our questions:
Hotel facilities?
- Do you have a pool?
Yes, there is a pool inside the hotel, on the sixth floor. It is available to all customers at no extra cost. Its dimensions are 5 metres by 6 metres and it is 1 metre deep. It is heated and open all year round. It is covered by a glass roof, but this roof opens up in the summer, creating an open - air pool.
Next to the pool there is also a sauna and a changing room area.
- What facilities do you have at the hotel for tenants wishing to keep fit?
Yes, we do a have a small gym. Equipment on offer includes a running machine, a cycling machine and weights.
- Hotel restaurant
We have two eating areas in the hotel. One is a larger area where buffet breakfast is served. Both hot and cold food is available. Hotel customers can pay extra when booking to include a breakfast option.
We also have a separate restaurant with an a la carte menu, serving lunch and dinner. It serves traditionally Spanish food.
- Hotel Bar
We have a small bar in the lobby area of the restaurant.
- Terraces for the rooms?
No, there is no hotel terrace area.
Business facilitiesThere are 3 rooms in the hotel that are designated meeting/conference areas. Also, the area that is used to serve the buffet breakfast can be used as a meeting room once the breakfast period is over. 2 of the rooms have a capacity of 70 - 80 people. One of these has natural light. The breakfast room also holds a similar amount of people. The smaller room holds 15 - 20 people. All rooms are air - conditioned.
On the same floor as the 3 meeting rooms, there is a reception area, where teas and coffees can be served as part of meeting sessions.
There is Wi-Fi available at no extra cost throughout the hotel. There are also two computers available for use in the lobby area of the hotel. These are coin - operated.
Disabled Facilities
There are 2 rooms in the hotel that have been adapted for wheelchair use. The door to the room has not been widened, however the internal doors are widened. There are rails next to both the toilet and the shower. There are also lifts to all floors.
Unfortunately, the swimming pool does not have a special lifting chair.
Hotel Rooms
The hotel contains a total of 130 rooms over 6 floors. All rooms are either double or twin and are not categorised differently. The hotel is positioned in such a way that planes do not fly overhead the hotel. The windows are also double - glazed. There is, therefore, no problem with noise pollution in the rooms.
All rooms provide exterior windows. Some have views of the mountains. If customers would like one of these rooms they should request it when booking.
All rooms contain a television, air-conditioning, a safe, a telephone, an iron and ironing board and a mini-bar containing free soft drinks.
- Are pets allowed in the hotel?
No, we do not allow pets in the hotel.
- Does the hotel offer a short - stay option?
Yes, as the hotel is located close to Barcelona airport there are often people who are interested in the short stay options who are awaiting connecting flights etc. We do offer this option at a reduced rate. However, it is subject to availability.
- What type of groups primarily does the hotel caters for specifically? e.g. business people, families, couples?
The hotel caters well for business people. We have a lot of local businesses in the area and are also located near to the airport. We therefore cater largely for those on business trips or those in need of a place to stay due to a stopover flight.

Special event for kids!
Ron Berman is a native San Franciscan who loves to write about the city.
The Cable Car That Couldn't Clang ($6.95) is Ron' s latest book. Have you ever lost your voice? What a nuisance! But can you imagine the horror of a Cable Car losing its Clang? This is what happens to Clyde as he and his old buddy, Sasha the Sea Lion, roam the hills and beaches of San Francisco in search of his Clang. On the way, he runs across all the great sounds of the city from Fisherman's Wharf, to the S.F.Zoo, the ballet, Chinatown and more.
Ron worked as a copy writer and Creative Director in SF which is not even nearly as much fun as writing children's books. He lives just 15 minutes away from Book Passage where he's purchased books for his wife, Ellie, two daughters, three grandchildren and three grand dogs. Along with illustrator Frank Hill, Ron has also written Sasha the San Francisco Sea Lion and Dude the Surfin' Sea Otter. He also created Old McDonald Had a Wedding with illustrations by Brian Gerrity.

It was Catherine Chandler's perky little sister Heather who prompted plenty of screams at the television last week when she interrupted the detective's first kiss with Vincent on The CW's "Beauty and the Beast."
This week though, Nicole Gale Anderson's bubbly character hopes to keep the romance going for Kristin Kreuk's Catherine, by inviting Jay Ryan's Vincent over for a fun little get-to-know-the-family dinner.
PLAY IT NOW: Kristin Kreuk & Jay Ryan Talk Beauty & The Beast - Comic-Con 2012
But while she's certainly intrigued that her romance-shy sister has a guy in her life, former "Jonas" star Nicole revealed to AccessHollywood.com that Heather will show a new side to her character in tonight's new episode, airing at 9/8c on The CW. Not just bright and bubbly, Heather will take after Catherine this week, playing a bit of a detective when it comes to Vincent Salansky. And, there's a little continuing romance for Heather too with Joe's little brother who was introduced last week - Darius (Christian Keyes).
AccessHollywood.com: At the end of last week's episode, Heather walked in and caught Catherine and Vincent about to kiss! That to me seems like holding red in front of a bull...
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Beauty & The Beast: All The Latest Photos From The CW Drama!
Nicole Gale Anderson: Right, yeah! Heather has always been so invested in Catherine's lack of love life, so seeing Vincent in the apartment was really exciting for Heather. And obviously, she squealed a little at the end, and naturally, she wants to meet the guy and [is going to be] putting two and two together that it was the man from the wedding. She knows that something more is going on that Catherine isn't letting on, so [Heather] wants to meet Vincent. She wants to get to know this guy who's been in her sister's life for, I guess, a while.
Access: Why do you think she's so obsessed with her sister's love life?
Nicole: I think it's just a combination of a lot. She really wants to see her sister happy, first and foremost, and knowing how consuming Catherine's job is for her, she just wants a guy for Catherine to make her happy and take her away from all of that, or at least take her mind off of all the hard things that she deals with at work. And we've been through a lot [as Chandlers]. Heather just really wants someone for her sister and I think part of it is also being the giddy younger sister that always looks up to Catherine. It's also really exciting to see her with a guy in the living room being like, 'Wow! What's going on? This is so not like you!'

Access: There's going to be a twist in this week's episode... and Heather turns into a little bit of a detective too. Can you talk a little bit about that?
Nicole: Kristin and I were just laughing on set because it's such a funny switch. Catherine is usually the one that interrogates the guy and the one that asks all the questions and is like the protective older sister, so when the tables turn and Heather's the one interrogating Vincent and asking all the questions -- it was a lot of fun for us to play because it's so unlike our relationship. But it was also nice for me to play Heather in that sense because it really just shows that bond that sisters have... [you] go out of your way, even if it's uncomfortable or painful. You'll do what you think is right for them. We had a lot of fun with the dinner scenes - when Vincent comes over - and it's just kind of trying to figure him out and everything else changes once Vincent tries to steal the photos!
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Kristin Kreuk: From Smallville To Beauty And The Beast
Access: Heather has a love interest - Joe's brother Darius, who she met in the Valentine's Day episode. She falls so quickly! She fell for Evan really fast too .
Nicole: After an hour of conversation, Heather was like, 'I'm in love!'... Last week's episode ran over so they cut the whole date scene. It was supposed to be this really nice sort of involvement of Heather and Darius that the fans didn't really get to see before this week's episode, which is a bit of a bummer, but I think they'll still appreciate Heather's affection towards him. He just seems like a really smooth, sweet talking guy that appears to have a good job and a nice car and is really easy on the eyes. Heather is immediately like, 'OK, who is this guy! And I'm not letting him go.' And yeah, and he shows Heather a good time.
"Beauty and The Beast" airs Thursdays at 9/8c on The CW.

I, too, share the problems associated with waviness. I have gorgeous ringlets in the front. I have pretty waves in the top layer on the sides and in the back, clumpy and pretty consistent in pattern.
Then the bottom. Oh, god. There must be something wrong!! It barely does anything! I am lucky if it is even 2A at the bottom. Forget about ringlets, forget about any texture! Luckily it is mostly hidden by all the other hair...but boy do I hate it!
I thought I would love FSG. I did...for 2 days! Then my hair became limp with barely any wave. Tried it under LA looks sports gel...even worse! I seem to consistently like ArcAngell and BRHG but I am constantly worried that my hair will just stop liking them.
No hair is easy though. Straight hair, wavy, curly, kinky...they all have their problems. We just have to learn to deal I guess. I just know I am not ready to give up on my ringlets. :]
