Bacon Water Chestnut Wraps Recipe
The holidays around the house just wouldn't be the same without these classic wraps. Through the years, Christmas Eve guests have proven it's impossible to eat just one. Laura Mahaffey, Annapolis, Maryland
- 1 pound bacon strips
- 2 cans (8 ounces each) whole water chestnuts, drained
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup chili sauce
- Cut bacon strips in half. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until almost crisp; drain. Wrap each bacon piece around a water chestnut and secure with a toothpick. Place in an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish.
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, mayonnaise and chili sauce; pour over water chestnuts. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Yield: about 2-1/2 dozen.

Far and away the favorite appetizer of our Thanksgiving day. We've made bacon-wrapped water chestnuts in the past with thousand island dressing. I still soaked the water chestnuts in thousand island dressing, then followed the recipe as usual. A nice combination of the two recipes.

What a fantastic turnout for the 11th annual Providence Heart & Sole Women's Five Miler!
We had a record crowd at our event in Finlay Park on April 28. More than 2,200 of you registered to run and walk with us—and we were thrilled to have you there!
Caitlin Chrisman of Charlotte, N.C., won our event in 28 minutes and 42 seconds, and Amber Moran of Asheville, N.C. was only 34 seconds behind her. We had a terrific lineup of elite women athletes joining us from the Midlands of South Carolina and surrounding states. Thank you for coming out and giving us such a spectacular finish to observe!
We were also happy to have more than 800 participants from Girls on the Run Columbia, an afterschool program for young girls that promotes self-esteem and healthy living. About 375 elementary and middle school girls completed their first official 3-mile course with us, running alongside their training buddies and coaches. Watching these girls cross the finish line is a reward within itself, and we are always thrilled to have them be a part of our event each year.
The majority of women who participate in Heart & Sole aren't your typical athletes. They're women who may be finishing a 3- or 5-mile walk or run for the first time. They don't necessarily believe they can even accomplish such a goal. But they know a women's only event like ours gives them the opportunity to try. They also know they'll receive the kind of encouragement and support that comes from hundreds of women just like themselves. I applaud these women for their accomplishments on Saturday and hope their experience inspires them to make a lifetime of healthy choices.
Every single woman who participates in our event is special to us. And we work hard to deliver an experience that makes everyone feel that way. So whether you're an elite runner, a recreational athlete or someone new to exercise, please know our arms are open wide to you. Come join us next year on April 27 and help us continue to create awareness of heart disease and the power of a healthy lifestyle!

Alive! Dining Headlines
Dispatch Dining Guide
Meng Klailee is the nephew of Anan Klailee, owner of the two Thai Orchid restaurants, who died in July. He and his wife have taken over the original place and renamed it Siam Orchid.
Reflecting their Thai heritage, the couple seem to be turning to a more-authentic form of Thai cooking.
Thai dishes on the new menu will be modified to suit the tastes of patrons who might not want the fiery notes that can accompany the wonderful flavors of many Thai dishes. But diners should understand that ordering something "hot" will bring a dish with an authentic chili kick.
A new dish on the lunch menu is a lively Thai noodle soup ($8.95). It's available by request during dinner hours.
Containing pieces of shrimp and tofu, the broth is tart from the liberal use of lime juice. Added flavor comes from chili paste and shrimp paste (which also provides a slightly sweet background). Thai rice noodles provide starch.
Yum talay ($14.95) is a cold dish, with plenty of mussels, good-quality scallops and large shrimp. It's spicy with chili heat, with more flavor from lime juice, cilantro and green onion. Lettuce and shredded cabbage provide a backdrop to the collection of authentic Thai flavors.
Even more authentic is the bold seafood curry ($14.95), which is subtitled "King of Five Curry." This excellent red curry is full of Thai tastes, including makood, Thai basil and galangal. It's also full of shrimp, scallops and somewhat-chewy calamari.
Tiger Tear ($12.95) is a beef salad, which consists of strips of meat with a top-notch grilled flavor. Added flavors come from a marinade of lime juice, onion and Thai basil — and it's hot.
Thai holy basil ($13.95, also called gra pow) features the herb of the same name. The main ingredient is finely minced chicken stir-fried with fresh basil, hot peppers and garlic, creating a pan sauce that provides moisture and flavor to the aromatic chicken.
How's the pad thai? Siam Orchid makes it with thin rice noodles — stir-fried richly with vinegar, nam pla (or fish sauce) and sugar — that manage to stay chewy. Shreds of fried egg and bean curd, plus a choice of shrimp or chicken with minced scallions, round out the stir-fry. Served with fresh, uncooked bean sprouts and chopped peanuts, it's one of the most flavorful pad thais around ($12.95).
For dessert, a house-made coconut custard ($3.50), served hot, has a cakelike texture, is mildly sweetened and has laid-back coconut flavor.
Also house-made is a credible green tea cake ($4.95), which is served partly frozen. The center layer of a sweet green tea is sandwiched between green tea-flavored cake.

I mean, people get mad on these boards about all sorts of things, so why not get mad that tooling dollars/budget were allocated to a vehicle and not the most fan-demanded classics figure?

Lansdale Park Tobacco Ban Moving Forward
Lansdale officials are preparing an ordinance that would create tobacco-free zones in parks.
Borough Council Member Mary Fuller says it will apply in areas where children gather and play.
"Playgrounds, tot lots, swimming pools, ballfields, and we'll be working in cooperation with the state's program called, 'Young Lungs at Play.'"
She says violators will be asked to leave that area of the park. A broader ban on tobacco use on all borough-owned property failed to gain support of a council majority. The ordinance could come up for a vote at the November 28 council meeting.

I was out at lunch today and when I returned to my car, I looked up and saw a Bentley Continental trolling the parking lot for a space. It made me wonder why the fundamental shape of today's Bentley motor vehicles are so stunning. After perusing Bentley's history, I think I found the answer: André Embiricos.
I'm sure that lately, one question has been dogging you relentlessly: "What am I going to buy my favorite Jalopnik writer Patrick George for Christmas?" I know I can be tough to buy for, so I'll say that Bentley's
Great news everyone! The latest Bentley Home collection means you don't have to sleep in your long-wheelbase Mulsanne anymore.

Last year, Bentley brought the EXP 9F concept car to Abu Dhabi. While it was interesting to see what Bentley's future would look like (although word has it that the production car will look rather different), my attention was taken by activities happening in the corner, away from the spotlight. Bentley had brought…
If you looked at this Craigslist listing and said, "holy crap who would do that to a Bentley Continental?" don't worry. It's actually a Chrysler Sebring.
Regular readers will know I have a tendency to bang on a lot, and my features are wordy as a result. Consequently, it can take a while for me to get around to writing them. Take crankandpiston's drive of the Bentley Continental GT Speed. It's a feature I've been meaning to get round to for an embarrassingly long time…
Apparently, 30% of Bentleys in China are owned by women. This compares to 10% in the rest of the world.
So far, our new weekly series called "what outrageously expensive police car did Dubai get this week" has seen both a Lamborghini Aventador
Jalopnik's own Travis Okulski and his personal bomber, Blake Z. Rong. Bentley provided the car, Travis provided his best Match.com smile.
Bentley might build its upcoming SUV in Bratislava, the most quintessentially British city in all of Slovakia.
With its highest horsepower and lowest suspension, the GT Speed is Bentley's most athletic production car. But what happens when you chop off the roof? Does it retain the qualities that make the Continental such a great ultra GT — its momentousness and poise — or is there just too much rarified air blowing into that…
We're testing out the new Bentley Continental GT Speed Convertible near Lake Tahoe, and — well look at that — it's snowing like mad.

OK, I'm going to admit, right up front, that I'm about to engage in speculation, and cannot, and will not, defend this speculation as being true, or even necessarily likely (that should head off the ankle biters, to some degree).
So, the question is: what is really going on, with this story? Might it be (and here comes the speculative part) that Apple and Target conspired to head off Amazon's Kindle as competiton, by getting Target to dump their product, in return for the 'franchise' of sorts to market the Apple products with a far higher visibility?NEW YORK -- Target Corp. is phasing out Amazon.com Inc.'s e-reader Kindle at its more than 1,700 stores and its website.Target spokeswoman Molly Snyder said Wednesday that the decision to stop selling Kindles this spring came after an "ongoing review" of Target's merchandise that evaluates quality and prices of the chain's offerings.The move coincides with the discounter's plan to create mini shops of Apple Inc. products in 25 of its stores this year.Despite competition from cheaper tablet computers such as Amazon's Kindle Fire, Apple's iPad remains the most popular tablet. Apple has sold more than 55 million iPads since the tablet's debut in 2010.Target, which is based in Minneapolis, started selling Kindles two years ago. Target announced in late November that Amazon's Kindle was the best-selling tablet in its stores on the day after Thanksgiving, typically the busiest day of the year.Target will also stop selling Kindle accessories like covers and chargers.Snyder declined to comment further about its partnership with Apple, only saying, "We will continue to offer our guests a full assortment of e-readers and supporting accessories."A spokeswoman for Amazon didn't immediately return calls.Target's decision to phase out the Kindle is also occurring as the retailer, along with other major merchants, are trying to fight a growing practice called "showrooming." That's when shoppers, armed with smartphones, browse products in physical stores and then shop online for a better price. Earlier this year, Target sent out a letter to vendors asking for help in developing exclusive merchandise and matching rivals' online prices.
Might not some of the justification, on Target's part, be some sort of pricing deal which would make the iPad more profitable than the Kindle, in return for Target dumping the amazon product?
I am NOT suggesting that anything illegal is going on (although there ARE laws about collusion and such which might apply).... but I DO wonder if this isn't a sign of what's to come. Apple now has the largest market cap of any US company... and counts its quarterly profits in the tens of billions. We all applaud 'competition' in the marketplace... but is this really competition? In the early part of the 20th century, the breakup of Standard Oil was recognized as necessary, when a single company, as a consequence of sheer size, wealth and marketplace power, had grown to a size which threatened the marketplace, rather than enhancing it......
...are we nearing the same situation?

Where else can you > run X11 BSD, OSX and Windows, all at full speed? If Apple announced that they were going to run on PPC and Intel hardware, it would have made a lot of sense to me -- good for competition, pick the best CPU for each particular application, etc..., and it wouldn't have made current and near-future PPC systems seem like lame ducks. Instead, they announced a very dramatic shift which sent out a huge ripple. It just doesn't make sense to me, so I think there must be a lot more going on behind the scenes that we don't know about (Apple/IBM politics). I just can't think of a rational reason why they would make such a dramatic announcement in this fashion without any short-term PPC roadmap (at the very least, a detailed phase-out plan would have made sense). I watched the WWDC keynote and Jobs made a fair (though limited) case. After the Intel CEO came out and gave a short pitch, I even felt good about it. But overall, this announcement has left a bad taste in my mouth and will be a wash until I see more details about the future. Some issues I am thinking about: * lots of time/money spent on AltiVec tuning which is going to be wasted. Yeah, Intel has MMX/SSE/SSE2, but if you believe the claims Apple made over the years, AltiVec was always supposed to be better. * what multi-processor 64-bit CPUs does Intel offer that are a compelling alternative to the G5 for desktop and cluster systems, in terms of cost, power, efficiency, heat, etc? (keep in mind that I continue to think the P4 is a great 32-bit CPU). Again, Apple has always touted the superiority of the G5, so this represents a pretty big shift in their posture. * lots of time/money invested in IBM XLF for OS X, which may be a dead end in a couple years (or whenever it finally breaks). I transitioned a lot of software development to XLF in the last two years. * Apple has done a good job making sure Cocoa apps transition easily, but that may not help the majority of scientific developers who are using compiler tools like Absoft, NAG, XLF, etc... to make command line executables. We're going to need to switch compilers and go through a port/test exercise for every code (mileage always varies here). In addition, unless someone comes up with a nice way to make universal binaries for command line executables, we will need to maintain PPC and Intel versions of our software through the transition. I have a hard enough time maintaining compatibility with past/current/future OS X versions, never mind dealing with multiple CPU targets. * On a related note, scientific developers and users are different than commercial developers in the sense that we're not driven by sales. When I spend a week porting a code and tuning it for G5, it's a major investment in my job and my research capability, and the idea is that the software development becomes a tool for long term use. With tight budgets and limited time, switching platforms/CPUs and supporting other platforms/CPUs is not easily justified. * the issue of software compatibility with x86/Windows is speculation at this point; we don't know if the Mac switch to Intel will be a good or bad thing for software and apps. I hope to see more commentary on this from experts in the field.

But she was speaking from exile in Turkey.
Like hundreds of thousands of other Syrians, Daghestany came here to escape the conflict a year ago.
She now lives with her 5-year-old daughter, Zia, in a basement apartment in Istanbul. The single room is decorated with colorful stickers, Zia's drawings, and a large Syrian rebel flag.
In Istanbul, Daghestany makes documentaries and reports that support the Syrian opposition. She has also taught her daughter, that they will one day return to their country after al-Assad has been overthrown.
"I want to go back to Syria," said Zia in fluent English, as she filled in a coloring book with markers. "I want to rebuild Syria."
"Not immediately. It's not like a magic stick that will make everything be OK," Daghestany said later. "We need time to rebuild Syria. Maybe 5 years, maybe 10 years. But I know that it's a step forward. I know that the choice now is better than if we didn't have any revolution."
Two years into the uprising, one revolutionary remains idealistic in exile, while the other struggles on, fearing that his hopes are slowly being crushed at home.

PCC Board Approves Differential Tuition
April 14, 2011
Tucson, AZ – The Pima Community College (PCC) Board of Governors Wednesday night approved changes in tuition for courses that are more costly for the College to offer.
The new tuition rates will become effective for the Spring 2012 semester.
It is common for colleges and universities to charge more for courses that cost more to offer. At least 60 percent of public research universities apply differential tuition for certain courses, majors or programs. Like most other colleges and universities, PCC applies differential tuition to students who are not Arizona residents.
PCC reviewed four years of cost data. To qualify for differential tuition, the cost of a discipline's courses had to be at least double the College median for two or more consecutive years.
Courses costing at least twice but less than four times the median for two consecutive years were found in the following disciplines: Aviation Technology, Music Studio Instruction, Technology, Travel Industry Operations, Respiratory Therapy, Machine Tool Technology, Massage Therapy, Veterinary Technology and Welding. Courses in these disciplines will be subject to a 30 percent differential.
Courses costing more than four times the median for two straight years were found in the following disciplines: Dental Hygiene, Radiologic Technology, Nursing, Fashion Design, Clinical Research, Dental Laboratory Technology, Medical Laboratory Technology, and Dental Assisting Education. Courses in these disciplines will be subject to a 40 percent differential.
Differential tuition rates apply to courses, not entire programs. For example, a PCC Nursing student will not pay a differential for non-Nursing courses such as Writing that are needed to satisfy the program's degree requirement.
The total cost of a program will be based on a combination of differential and non-differential rates. For example, the College's Machine Tool Technology (MAC) program qualifies for a 30 percent differential rate. But the cost increase for MAC students will translate to only 19 percent, because to satisfy the program's degree requirement they also must take non-MAC courses that are unaffected by differential tuition.
In-state tuition is set at $58.50 per credit hour. The 30 percent differential rate constitutes an additional $17.50 per credit hour, increasing the per-credit-hour cost to $76.00. The 40 percent differential constitutes an increase of $23.50 per credit hour, increasing the cost to $82.00 per credit hour.
Differential tuition will be effective in Spring 2012 and is expected to generate approximately $200,000 for the Fiscal Year 2012 General Fund.
In other action at Wednesday's meeting, the Board approved an agreement with Habitat for Humanity-Tucson to give as many as 12 advanced students in the College's Building and Construction Technology program quality hands-on experience through the construction of Habitat for Humanity homes. The term of the agreement is July 1, 2011-June 30, 2012.
Also, the Board approved a new Certificate for Direct Employment in Phlebotomy. The new occupational education credit program will be offered through the Center for Training and Development at Desert Vista Campus. Economists forecast an 11 percent growth rate in Pima County for phlebotomists between 2010 and 2015.
Additionally, the Board renewed an agreement with the U.S. Air Force to provide educational programming and services at Davis Monthan Air Force Base through April 1, 2012. PCC has provided instructional programs and education services at Davis Monthan since 1981. The College annually serves approximately 3,500 students at its Davis Monthan education center, offering classes that permit students to complete Associate of Liberal Arts, Associate of Business, Associate of Science and Associate of General Studies degrees. Educational services offered at Davis Monthan include admission, registration, assessment, orientation, advising, testing, and financial and military tuition assistance.
The next scheduled meeting of the Board will be Wednesday, May 11, 2011 at 7 p.m. in the PCC District Office Community/Board Room at 4905 E. Broadway.

I love born shoes. Its the only brand I can wear. I have bad feet and cannot wear high heels. These I can wear all day without any foot pain or discomfort. I own 5 pairs of born shoes and they are the best.

Gorgeous shoe. The color coral construction style are lovely. However the length on me was perfect but all the straps were at least one size too big on my average not narrow feet. So sad to be returning.

Sorry, I was unclear there- not "lush" in the way Mignola uses heavy blacks, but just that there was SO MUCH in every one of Guy's pages.I'd say Guy Davis isn't necessarily about heavy blacks at all. He's about using stylisation optimally, for conveying what needs conveying - which typically wouldn't be "look how juicily *realistic* I can draw stuff".
Stuff like The Dead probably has as much ink there as Mike's ink-drenched stuff- but it's all detail, not the lack of it.
That's not anything aginst Tyler's stuff- it's just an ajustment.
Tyler's stuff is nicely detailed in stuff like the street scene in Russia #1, but much more sparce in places like the conference room.
No. -not for closeups it's not. Not stuff happening in the near distance of the frame.And the "dots-for-eyes" is not something uncommon for Guy Davis or Ba/Moon or either Mignola for that matter.
That was my big gripe for Monsters, but most of that is not present in Russia (at least not with main characters).
Eyes are the strongest part of a face when conveying emotion, and the lack of that really detracts from the overall quality of the work. There's no stress or anger or anything in a pair of buttons on a face.
If say, Kate suddenly had Tintin features, there'd be a lot more people complaining- as long as it's just some shlub Russian giving Kate a hard time, it's not too bad....and again, I really do like the rest of it, so it's not as though I'm just trashing the guy.
Maybe the eye definition signifies a character's importance.
That's my opinion, and while yours may differ, please remember that only my viewpoint matters.

Not a tour for the faint hearted as it's was over three hours on our feet. However for those not skipping the queue, there would have been an additional hour and a half for the entry queue into the museum and probably the same for St Peters and a quick whisk through the Sistine chapel. Frederica, our guide was brilliant being both a friendly and jokey personality as well as providing brilliant supplementary material using her iPad where she was able to zoom to show us where to focus our attention and bringing in links between what we were experiencing and other key sights in Rome. A brilliant day

Honestly, any tour ending with the Sistine Chapel is fantastic. Luckily, we had the benefit of an amazing tour guide (Ivana from tour operator Dark Rome) who really made this tour a highlight of our time in Italy. She provided respectful, entertaining, and at times humorous context to the plethora of exhibits we observed while on our tour. We are a family of four (two young children), so we were worried about whether or not they would enjoy the long walking tour, but Ivana made this tour great for the kids and for us. A debate we had for this tour was whether or not to take a semi-private tour or a larger group tour. Our tour had 20 people in it, and we found that this was the perfect size. Although it was a very busy day, we did not get lost or fall behind- rather, the entire group stayed close together as Ivana helped us to see the most interesting sights of the worlds largest museum. All in all, this was a fantastic experience, and I fully recommend it.

Our guided tour of the Vatican, Sistine Chapel and St.Peter's Basilica was absolutely fantastic. The guide was informative and very interesting during the excitement of being in this overwhelming environment. We are so pleased that we booked this before leaving on holiday and regret not having arranged other guided tours in Rome as we found the self guided headset tours very laborious.

I can't imagine anyone coming to the Vatican without booking a tour ahead! You do NOT want to waste hours in those lines nor miss out on the expertise of a guide. You paid lot of money to get here, pay a little more and book the tour. We actually skipped the day in Rome on our cruise (a tour through the cruise line is WAY more expensive anyway) and came back to Rome after our cruise so we could have an unhurried three days to see what we wanted to. The headset/radio makes it possible to hear the guide's every word, even if you stop to snap a picture and lose sight of him for just a sec. David from Dark Rome Tours was just wonderful - a sense of humor without being irreverent, a willingness to answer any questions thoroughly, and a knowledgeable style that kept us hanging on every word. The only thing I would change is the HOARDS of pushy people inside - which would be impossible, of course. The Sistine Chapel was pretty much as magnificent as I expected, but I was not prepared for St. Peter's - WOW! No photo can do justice to it, and the crowd wasn't as big there, either, so we could relax and enjoy every corner and every detail that David pointed out. One little tip - this is NOT a tour for children. It is long, they can't see over the heads of all the people, esp in the Museum, and they will be bored. Save it for their teen years when they can appreciate it more. One couple had to be asked to leave the Sistine Chapel with their crying infant...seriously, don't take your baby!!

This was an absolutely fantastic tour. We met our tour guide, Maurizi, opposite the entrance to the Vatican Museums. He was highly knowledgeable on all matters throughout the tour; he has a degree in history and fine art, I believe. As there is so much to see in this tour (you could spend days there), he picked out the highlights and his personal favourites and gave fascinating details. He was very friendly and patient with people taking photos, etc. We were given headphones and a small device so we could hear our guide through the crowds. After the main tour, we were left to wander around St Peter's Basilica (after being provided with info on it) and the square.
I would also add that our tour guide gave us lots of religious details but in a perfect, objective way.
The price almost put me off, but for the quality and length of the tour, it's excellent value. Plus you get to walk past all the people queuing to get in and go through straight away!
A few things to bear in mind on this tour:
- wear comfy shoes and don't wear yourself out beforehand (I made the mistake of walking for about two hours around Rome before!)
- it is busy and crowded throughout the Vatican City, with few places to sit down
- there is only one public drinking tap, at the start of the tour (although there is a cafe inside, we did not stop there during the tour)
- I'm not sure if there were more places we could stop, but we only made one bathroom break about halfway through
- you cannot take pictures and have to be quiet inside the Sistine Chapel. Our tour guide helpfully gave us descriptions before we entered
- certain areas of the tour require you to cover up: no exposed knees or shoulders. I saw people being asked to cover up before entering the basilica
- you have to go through a metal detector to enter the Vatican City. Whilst you don't have to take off belts, etc., your handbags will be scanned

My husband and I had 4 days in Rome and went on the tour of the Vatican, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica and enjoyed it immensely. Our Guide was extremely knowledgible re dates, etc. and we even managed to reach the Dome! A most enjoyable afternoon.

This was my second time in Rome and seeing the Vatican but the first time I didn't do a tour. Save yourself any hassle and just book this tour. its fun, educational and our tour guide (I really wish I could remember her name) was very knowledgeable. She was an archaeologist! and you could just tell she loves Rome and all its glory and history. When in Rome you can't miss the Sistine Chapel or St. Peter's Basilica. Seriously, do this tour and avoid fighting with the tourist crowds and wasting a whole day waiting in lines. It's convenient and worth the money.

It was absolutely worthwhile to book this tour and skip that unbelievable line up! I happened to visit on a particularly busy weekend due to holidays and events in Rome. The tour guide Nicola was excellent at keeping the group together and focused so I found the whole experience to be interesting, particularly as he shared little known insights about Michelangelo's paintings in the Sistine Chapel. Time and money well spent.

Outstanding tour! Our tour was Holy Saturday (Saturday befor Easter) afternoon and everything was extremely busy. Our Guide was great, she had us pass the regular line and into the Vatican Museums more quickly than I thought possible. She was extremely knowledgeable about everything throughout our tour. Only downside was that because of the crowds, we were stuck in some places (Sistine Chapel was elbow to elbow) without being able to take it all in but our guide did everything she could to keep us engaged in the tour. This was my first experience with the small radios and ear pieces so we could hear our guide and they were great. This was an English speaking tour and our guides inflection, volume, and cadence were all perfect to help us experience everything even with the crowds. I would definately recommend booking the Dark Rome Tours through Viator for this and other tours in Rome.

It was difficult to get specific directions to the meeting place but I can help! It's at the NE corner of Via Germanico and Via Leone IV. There is a sign on the SE side of the building that says "Enjoy Rome" and the door is right next to the sign on the ground floor. Backpacks will have to be checked at the door of the museum and it's a good 10 minute walk to get back to your possessions after the tour. Don't go without taking a tour! You will have long waiting lines and won't understand much. As for the tour, our guide was Valentino and we absolutely LOVED her. She was fantastic! There were 23 in our group and she kept us with us all beautifully. The tour was 3 full hours. You do get a shortwave/earphone to hear the tour guide. The crowds were incredible - 20,000 people a day makes it very crowded and very loud. I would NOT go in the summer as there is no air conditioning. We saw one museum, the Sistine Chapel and St Peter's Basilica. No talking and No photos in the Sistine Chapel. It was all fascinating and beautiful. A definite must-do on your trip to Rome! One suggestion - go eat at Ristochicco Restaurant after - make reservations!

I'm writing this the day after our VIP tour of the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel. My head still feels like sensory overload. It was brilliant. But a bit more about where I'm coming from so you'll know why I was so blown away by this tour.
This is my 11th trip to Rome. I come almost every year, for a week, just to walk around and take pictures and sit in cafes and to disconnect from everything. I love this city. I've been to the Vatican Museum 3 times in the past, and honestly, each time felt like torture. God help you if you're trying to get into that museum between March and November: prepare for 2-hour lines and thousands of people. And when you finally get to the Sistine Chapel at the end of your visit, you will be herded in along with the 400, 500, 600 other people in there that are shuffling about shoulder-to-shoulder, while guards hiss "Silencio!" and "No Photos!" I remember my first time in there: I was expecting this miraculous, overwhelming, powerful moment -- and instead I was overcome by a feeling of "oh my god I have to get out of here." I say all of this so you can get a grasp of how special this VIP tour was that my mom and I were on yesterday.
Here's what the website promised: a private tour of secret, closed-to-the-public rooms of the Vatican Museum, ending with 30 minutes spent in the Sistine Chapel, completely alone: just your group of a max of 10 people. And you know what? They delivered, tenfold. It was SPECTACULAR. So, the details:
Our guide Shannon was wonderful. She is an American transplant in Italy and had her degree in art history so she knew this stuff inside out, but her presentation was friendly and informative and never dry or boring: it was the insider scoop. It wasn't "and then Raphael painted this painting in the year ___" -- no, it was the backstory about the rivalries between these famous artists, how they lived, what influenced them -- it was the stuff that you never hear about in stuffy, stodgy old history books. And we had a guard who accompanied us on the tour, unlocking secret rooms along the way, like the Bramante Staircase and one of the pope's private chapels. The tour started around 3:15 as the museum was already emptying out, and by partway through the tour you noticed that the place was empty except for the cleaning people and the guards locking things up. You hit a few of the major attractions in the museum that are open to the public, but by the time you get to them they're empty. The Raphael Rooms? Empty. It was breathtaking. We were literally walking down empty corridors, and if you've ever been to this museum before, you know that it sees a good 15,000 people per day. The other thing I liked: the Vatican Museum is 9 miles of museum. It's filled with amazing things, but not all of these amazing things are significant. Sure, that statue might be 2000 years old and it might be pretty, but it's not "important" -- and you could spend days in this museum -- so Shannon took us to the major things worth seeing, so you know that you leave the VM having seen what you should've seen.
As we approached the finish line - the Sistine Chapel - Shannon told us what to expect: she said there was another private tour group ahead of us but that they would be ushered out as we entered, and then we'd have 30 minutes alone in the chapel. Just our group of 10. If you've been to the Sistine Chapel before, you know what it's like to enter it: it's like Grand Central at rush hour, but worse. So bad, in fact, that when friends have visited Rome and asked if they should see the Vatican Museum, I normally tell them "don't do it, you'll regret it." So I want you to imagine what we saw: we entered a quiet, empty room with a little group standing in the middle chatting as they walked out. There was silence, and the room was empty. THE SISTINE CHAPEL WAS EMPTY. Our guard closed and locked the front door and exit, and it was just us and our tour guide. A completely empty Sistine Chapel. I looked around at our group and we were all staring, slack-jawed, at what was around us. Shannon gave us a few minutes to just sit and take it all in before she started the tour-guide portion of the details of the chapel (which is another great thing, because tour guides aren't allowed to talk in the chapel, but on this VIP tour, they ARE allowed to talk -- and you'll learn more info in this 30 minutes than you will in any history class.) I can't stress enough how amazing a moment that 30 minutes was: that alone was worth the cost of the ticket. For people who appreciate art or beautiful things, this actually delivers that "oh my god" moment that you hope to experience when you see something as beautiful as the Sistine Chapel. As we entered, I think I heard 9 other audible gasps.
So let me just say that if you've never seen the Vatican Museums before -- or even if you have, but were frustrated by the experience -- this is worth the price of admission. SO worth it. It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience that so few people ever get to have. We were all giddy by the time we left: it felt like we had just shared something really special. On a scale of 1 to 10, this is a 20 and that's not hyperbole: it was A-MA-ZING. Already looking forward to my next Rome trip so I can do it again!!!

Amazing tour and one thing you will appreciate after a few days in Rome, a tour away from the crowds. I feel incredibly privileged to have been able to sit in The Sistine Chapel for an hour with eight other people admiring the artwork. Also enjoyed relaxed viewings of the other amazing displays in the Museums such as the Hall of maps and Raphael Rooms. Expensive but absolutely worth it.

our guide was franchesca (so sorry if that is spelled wrong). she was great. we went on a not so busy day. so we didnt have to stand in a horrible long line like many have posted in reviews, i was also warned about an additional fee? we never paid for anything extra. so im not sure what that was about in previous reviews. i really enjoyed the tour it was amazing to see the history behind each art piece. though i was extremely upset about idiotic people taking pictures and talking and taking pics with flash in the sistine chapel. it saddened me because it clearly states no photos and to be silent. and flashes from cameras ruin the old paint. some people just have no respect. other then that our tour was amazing and so was our guide. i highly recommend going and taking this tour! the meeting place was easy to find and is if you know how to read road signs and a map. we walked to everything in rome including our visit to the vatican.

Worth the cost for beating the LONG line-ups alone! Our guide was fabulous you will see all the high-points along the way. To enhance your experience, read / study the Sistine chapel artwork before your trip. You will really enjoy it so much more. Earlier in the day is best for this trip. I will do it again. Next time, I'll break from the tour after seeing the Sistine chapel, and return to the museum to visit even more rooms. I think that this is a must-do tour for anyone who visits Rome for the first time.

We caught the wrong bus and were running late so it was nice to find that I had actually booked a PRIVATE tour and that our guide was still waiting for us! I had forgotten that I had booked a private tour. Our guide was excellent. An easy going 'go with the flow' kind of person which made the experience so much better since the place was swarming with tourists.
They locked the door between the Sistine Chapel and St Peter's while we were in the Sistine Chapel due to some procession in St Peter's. We were happy to wait as we will probably never get back to Rome and our guide used that time to show us some pictures and explain a few extra things to us.
She was open to suggestions of anything we particularly wanted to see and welcomed questions.
The day before our tour we went past the Vatican while on the 'hop on hop off bus' and saw the queues. I'm so glad I booked before we left Australia.
