Tour Description
Experience the stunning scenery of some of Sydney's most enduring locations. Visit Milsons Point, Arabanoo Lookout, The Rocks, Mrs. Macquarie's Chair, The Gap, Bondi Beach and more on this amazing day-tour. There is no better way to experience this glorious city!
Relax in comfort while you are chaperoned around the city on a comfortable, temperature controlled tour bus
Marvel at the beauty of both the natural and manmade icons of Sydney
Learn of Sydney's historical past and diverse culture with full commentary along the way
Departing at around 8am from the Star Coach Terminal in Pyrmont (or earlier from your Sydney hotel) you will settle into your comfortable tour bus seat as you head out to experience the best of Sydney.
Milsons Point
Located on the lower North Shore, Milsons Point is a scenic suburb and home to some of Sydney's most exclusive homes, schools, cafes, restaurants and boutique stores. Many of the buildings within Milsons Point have been historically preserved from as early as the 1800s, making the sweeping views of the Opera House and Sydney Harbour even more interesting.
Arabanoo Lookout
Named after the first Indigenous person to live amongst the European settlers, Arabanoo Lookout's fascinating history and stunning views make this place well worth the visit. Scenery includes views over the Pacific Ocean to the North and South Head and occasionally, you may even spot a whale!
Manly Beach
Famous Manly Beach is the perfect place to relax and take in the sights of the ocean and Manly's foreshore. After strolling through the golden sand and getting your toes wet in the surf, why not treat yourself to a delicious morning tea at one of the local cafes (own expense)?
The Rocks
Once home to the Indigenous Gadigal people, The Rocks was then claimed by the Europeans in 1788 and much of the original layout still remains. This vibrant spot is situated at the base of the Harbour Bridge and is full of world-class restaurants, historical pubs, boutique stores and art galleries. You will be able to explore this region and marvel at the historical buildings.
Harbour Bridge
Sydney's iconic Harbour Bridge connects the north shore to the southern shore. The colloquially named "coat hanger" was opened in 1932 and is the world's largest steel arch bridge. This integral Sydney landmark is one of the city's most photographed attractions and you too can grab a winning shot from your vantage point at The Rocks.
A city just isn't a city without a Chinatown and Sydney's Chinatown is one of the best. Situated right in the heart of the city, Chinatown is a lively hive of activity with restaurants, street food stalls, noodle bars, Asian produce stores and bargain markets lining the beautifully decorated avenue. You will feel like you are actually in China while you explore this amazing place!
Mrs. Macquarie's Chair
Mrs. Macquarie's Chair is actually a sandstone platform with a hand-crafted bench hewn from it, carved by convicts in 1810. The name of this picturesque location as well as Mrs. Macquarie's Point was derived from the fact that the wife of the then NSW Governor favoured this spot for its spectacular views. Visit here and see what all the fuss is about.
The Gap
The Gap is located at the entrance of Sydney Harbour and is a majestic cliff that overlooks the eastern coast. You will want to ensure you have brought your camera, because views of the coastline are spectacular from here!
Bondi Beach
Sydney's Bondi beach isn't just a popular location, itt is an institution of the Aussie lifestyle! This bustling beach is one of the most famous beaches on the planet and it's not difficult to see why - the golden sand and cool, clear surf will enchant you almost immediately. Enjoy afternoon tea (own expense) at one of the many cafes lining the shore.
You also have the option of upgrading your tour with a Sydney Harbour luncheon cruise, featuring a scrumptious buffet lunch and commentary. After your cruise, you will be escorted to your coach tour.
After your tour, return to the Star Coach Terminal or your Sydney hotel at around 5:45pm approx.

Police Say Sioux Falls Man Was 'Kicked When He Was Down'
To hear Sioux Falls police tell it, it was a case of kicking a man when he's down.
Officers were called shortly before 6 pm Tuesday to the 600 block of North Franklin Avenue.
Officer Sam Clemens says a boyfriend and girlfriend had been arguing, and the boyfriend was curled up on the ground as his girlfriend kicked him in the head.
Clemens says Talia Garreau, 24, was charged with aggravated assault-domestic.
He says her 25-year-old boyfriend was on the ground and trying to call 911 when Garreau was punching and kicking him.
The victim, who was not seriously injured, called police again when Garreau returned around 6:30pm.

All four bodies pulled from the wreckage of a fiery plane crash at Santa Monica Airport this week were identified Friday.
Lauren Winkler (pictured, below), 28, of Irvine, was one of the four who died in the wreck, according to the Los Angeles County Coroner's office.
Winkler worked as a leadership director for the non-profit Save a Child's Heart organization. A tribute was posted on the group's Facebook page.
"It is a very sad moment for Save a Child's Heart as our past Young Leadership Director, Lauren Winkler, tragically passed away. We will remember her energy that filled up any room, her lightness and her love for our children. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends."
Kyla Dupont, 53, of San Diego, and Mark Benjamin, 63, of Malibu, were killed in the crash, according to the Los Angeles County Coroner.
A fourth victim has not been positively identified by the coroner's office, but according to Santa Monica-based Morley Buildings, it is Luke Benjamin, son of victim Mark Benjamin.
Mark Benjamin was CEO of the construction contracting company, and his son was a senior project manager, said Morely Buildings, the company behind some high-profile buildings in Southern California, including Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in downtown Los Angeles and the Getty Villa Museum.
The twin-engine Cessna Citation they were traveling in veered off the runway after landing Sunday and crashed into a storage hangar. The burning wreckage sent a column of black smoke over the airport as the metal hangar collapsed around the plane.
Responding fire officials described the crash and fire as "unsurvivable." Two women, two men, two cats and two dogs were aboard the plane, officials said.
Coroner's Assistant Chief Ed Winter told NBC4 that the federal government shutdown that began Tuesday might force the NTSB to suspend its investigation.
NTSB officials said there is "an indication" the plane had a cockpit voice recorder. The pilot did not indicate there was a problem with the plane and authorities could not confirm Monday that the landing gear's tire was damaged during the landing, NTSB officials said.

Bruno Mars Says 'Expect the Unexpected' When He Hosts 'SNL'
Bruno Mars is set to host 'SNL,' as well as serve as the musical guest, on Saturday, Oct. 20. It's a tall order, but if anyone can tackle the task with grace and poise, it's the 'Locked Out of Heaven' singer. While promoting his 'SNL' gig, he warned: Expect the unexpected!
Mars is game for any situation or scenario that the writers, the cast and producer Lorne Michaels decide to toss his way. "Whatever they throw me in…we'll see," he said. Sounds like we're all in for an entertaining time when Mars takes the reigns.
That's also the right attitude to take when hosting a long-running sketch comedy. Something tells us Mars won't fall flat on his face during his episode. He shares that he pretty much spent the week waking up and going straight to rehearsals.
When asked if he is going to be "super funny," which seems like a foregone conclusion and not exactly a novel concept when hosting a comedy show, Mars joked, "No, I'm not going to be funny. It's something new they are trying at 'SNL.'"
That reply in and of itself was funny.
So, we have no idea what to expect, but we have to agree with Bruno, a collabo with Alec Baldwin would be pretty sweet. 'Schweddy Balls II' anyone?
Mars also shed some light on his new album, saying he approached it simply. "It's me going in the studio, doing whatever I want," he said. He did acknowledge being somewhat unorthodox in how he did things, but he let whatever mood he woke up in and whatever he felt like that day dictate his writing and recording.
Be sure and watch Bruno Mars, live, from New York, on Saturday night!

So you have an idea of how something can be recycled but, you figure it is just a little bit crazy. Maybe you think "who would buy this?".
Let me show you a site with 10 recycled things that we should have thought of. Yes, we could be making a ton of cash if only we had followed our crazy idea.
Top 10 Recycled Gadgets. I love what they did with the cassette tapes and the phone books. The ideas here might be more pleasing than the Recyling Toilet Paper Machine.
Now, as soon as Brad gets home I will have him upload a couple of my Recycling projects. Yes, after loosing my hard drive I can't find my FTP info to load up the pictures. These were ideas I had using the AOL CD's that they would send in the mail.
Almost anything can be recycled if we just have an open mind and give it a try.
Have you had some of those ideas when you are looking at your would be garbage?

In 2013, the global conveying equipment market was worth USD 31.89 billion. These equipments provide an efficient, cost-effective and accurate technique for the rapid and easy movement of goods from one place to another. Conveyor belts are usually prepared from rubber and secured with textiles, PVC or steel according to the application. These are used as carriers for goods across numerous end use industries such as steel works, power, ports, metal mining & coal, cement, airports and food & beverages.
Conveyors lead to diminish the manufacturing time that, in turn, help plants in attaining operational efficiency. Conveying equipment are used for decreasing human effort and time in the transfer of goods from one place to another. They can be set up anywhere and are considered to be harmless as compared to using a forklift and other machines for the movement of goods. The making of modified conveying equipment is enabled by the increased industrial production and developments in technologies.
Unit handling was the largest product type which accounted for over 45% of the market in 2013. Key uses of unit handling equipment include the monitoring of lesser batches which are most largely applicable in businesses such as shipments, food & beverage processing and other productions for durable goods. However, parts & attachments is projected to witness the highest growth rate, at an estimated CAGR of 2.4% from 2014 to 2020.
View summary of this report, click the link below:
Durable goods accounted for the highest market share of over 40% in 2013. Growing demand for computer equipment and industrial machinery has led to the high growth of durable goods. Durable goods is also forecasted to witness the highest growth rate, at an anticipated CAGR of 2.0% from 2014 to 2020.
Europe accounted for over 60% of the global market in 2013.The growth in this region is driven by the presence of few top automobile manufacturers such as Audi, Mercedes and Ferrari. Europe is also projected to have the highest growth at an estimated CAGR of 1.6% over the forecast period.
Global conveying equipment market is amalgamated with few companies leading the market. The top three participants include Dematic, Rexnord and Sandvik and together they accounted for over 35% of the total market in 2013. The industry is moderately fragmented. The small unorganized companies across China and South Korea are taking ardent steps such as M&As to gain market share. There are ample opportunities for the new entrants, however high initial investment leads to restraining them from entering the industry.
Grand View Research has segmented the conveying equipment market on the basis of product, application and region:

Flight crews warn knives could add to air rage threat
Policy change leaves crew members worried about weakening a layer of protection in the security blanket for flights.
Flight crews, which report confrontations with unruly airline passengers more than 100 times a year, are warning that allowing pocketknives back on planes can make tense situations in the air even more dangerous.
"My concern is that it would essentially add fuel to the fire," says flight attendant Ian Funderburg, who's based in Charlotte. "My main concern is with safety. It's not so much that we're in fear, but it's an unnecessary risk that doesn't need to happen."
Travelers can start carrying small knives and sports equipment, such as golf clubs and hockey sticks, aboard passenger planes starting April 25, the Transportation Security Administration said last week.
TSA Administrator John Pistole justified loosening the restrictions, which have been in place since right after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist hijackings, as part of a shift to more risk-based security.
After hardening cockpit doors to protect pilots, the agency says its goal is to look for terrorists and explosives. "The focus is on what could present catastrophic damage to the aircraft," says David Castelveter, a TSA spokesman.
Some pilots, flight attendants and air marshals oppose the change, which has sparked a debate about dealing with unruly passengers — and whether allowing travelers to have items that can be used as weapons turns often stress-filled passenger cabins into a more dangerous place for other passengers and crew.
Incidents of so-called air rage do break out in the skies every few days or so.
Crew members filed 101 complaints last year about unruly passengers, who face fines up to $25,000, with the Federal Aviation Administration. The numbers were higher in previous years, with 140 in 2011, 149 the year before that and 176 in 2009.
Flight attendants say they don't report all incidents. Airlines worldwide collect internal reports of so-called air rage that they don't release, but which the airline trade group International Air Transport Association says rose 29% from 2009 to 2010, after rising 27% a year earlier.
Andrew Thomas, an associate professor at the University of Akron who's written books about air rage and aviation security, says stress has been ratcheted up aboard planes because of security hassles and more crowded planes. He says allowing small knives into the cabin will make flights less safe.
"Acts of aberrant, abusive and abnormal behavior known as air rage remain the most persistent threat to aviation security," Thomas says.
Crew members agree and worry that confrontations could become more incendiary with weapons.
Funderburg, the flight attendant, says a colleague on a recent flight confronted a man who wouldn't turn off his cellphone and became belligerent, finally lunging at the woman. "What if you added a knife to that situation?" Funderburg asks.
Disputes also can distract air marshals, who fly armed and undercover on some flights to discourage terrorist hijackings.
"There is no justifiable reason for implementing this policy, and it only serves to place law enforcement officers and flying Americans at greater risk," says Jon Adler, president of the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association, which includes air marshals.
In line with global standards
Although the International Air Transport Association says air rage incidents remain "a serious concern," it supports the TSA's decision to loosen restrictions to match international standards.
Jean Medina, a spokeswoman for the trade group Airlines for America, says domestic airlines also support TSA's approach of combining its vast experience from screening billions of passengers with risk-based assessments to find security threats.
The move puts U.S. carry-on rules more in line with airline security standards set by the International Civil Aviation Organization, a branch of the United Nations.
Perry Flint, an association spokesman, says global standards give passengers confidence that they won't be subject to different security restrictions in different countries, which translates into fewer hassles.
"We believe that global standards, consistently applied, are a key element of effective security, as they have shown to be with safety," Flint says.
And a former TSA official says the agency created in the aftermath of 9/11 was never intended to stop every squabble on a plane.
"What we were trying to do is focus its attention on the next threat, instead of fighting the last war," says Jeff Sural, a former assistant administrator for legislative affairs at TSA now practicing law at Alston & Bird LLP. "We took care of that with a few things: locked cockpit doors, armed pilots, air marshals. What other threats are out there?"
The policy change leaves crew members worried about weakening a layer of protection in the security blanket for flights.
Mike Karn, president of the Coalition of Airline Pilots Associations, which represents 22,000 pilots, says the group rejects having knives of any kind in the cabin because they would put crew members and passengers in harm's way unnecessarily.
"We are concerned that the proposed changes to the prohibited items list could represent a step backwards in aviation security," Karn says.
Flight attendants are working to change the policy. Funderburg has begun a petition at change.org/TSAknives to keep knives out of aircraft cabins.
The Flight Attendants Union Coalition, which represents 90,000 flight attendants, also has a petition on the White House website in a bid to overturn the TSA decision.
Veda Shook, president of on of the coalition unions, the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, is circulating a letter in Congress opposing the policy and plans to meet this week with House lawmakers who oversee TSA.
"We are totally appreciative of the cockpit door being reinforced. But what about the rest of us?" Shook asks. "It's a grave concern. If a weapon is introduced, that rapidly escalates the threat."

I'm sure they would not approve of the practice but then I'm sure they wouldn't really approve of any of the alternative trackables to their own endorsed products which is why they don't work within their system in an attempt to quash any upstarts.
I have had success with using the TB with a moving cache but then I only have the one. I am far more likely to get a log on the TB than the cache except when it is hidden alone as a pure OCNA cache.
I have to call you out a little too though......Aren't you doing the same sort of thing with some of your waymarks on OCNA? I see no mention of OCNA on their page.
I'm not suggesting you remove them or even the mention of the other site (please don't) but would they allow a mention of the listing on OCNA?
I posted a note on the three virtuals that I left here that they were my listed Waymarks, but that can be taken care of quickly. I did intend on leaving a few of my listings here because I worked hard to make them a nice addition to OCNA. It's really not funny that you three admins talk about how open and flexible OCNA is and you call me out in the public forums on it for posting a note on my own listing.

Okay... So I just saw the UI changes planned for 0.56.
I'm a user, so I don't like change. I can rationalise my dislike of change
And if the UI had looked like it currently planned and it was then changed, I'd probably find a reason to dislike that too.
So I dislike the vertically scrolling list of things. Hey ho. I think it makes the keybindings of "q" and "e" a little odd, since they are usually left and right. But again, hey ho.
So I thought I'd reply with an alternative proposal to replace the current system of [x] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] style sub-menus.
A 5 button mini bar
A 5 button mini bar that appears in room and object construction modes.
Fixed at 5 buttons, but with the central one being the "picked" item.
Each of the two buttons to both the left and right are increasingly small (My mockup uses 85% and 70%).
Then to the far left and far right are two direction arrows which are only shown if there are further buttons in that direction to be shown.
Each button has a shortcut number/letter on it.
Whatever item/room is currently located in the central icon, it's item name will appear just below it in large readable text.
It would need to be possible to click-through the buttons/icons. i.e. they should not be interactive.
Ideally, each icon could be unique and would provide a graphical representation of the object/room it places. However, just using the existing room/item icons seems to work too as long as the description is also displayed below it.
(especially since finding different icons for red flare and yellow flare might prove a little tricky).
Despite the problems of creating unique icons for each room/item, I think it would still be worth it. So that the user has an idea of what the icons to the left/right of the central one represent without scrolling to them.
Like the planned vertical scrolling menu currently planned for 0.56 - this route also makes it more obvious that there are more wall placeable items than just the door.
In my example above, only 4 of the 5 buttons are used. The furthest left button (button #1) and the left facing arrow marker are both not shown, because they are not needed.
Scrolling right 1 would make the central button "3" and button #1 would become "1".
Scrolling right 1 again would mean the whole bar looked something like [ <- 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 -> ] (presuming there are items #7, 8, 9 and beyond.
Anyway, I think it fits the existing UI without introducing limitations on the number of items shown in the scrollable list.
Extra points for animating the scrolling of the left/right action including the increasing/decreasing size changes.
Triple extra points for making the number of buttons configurable as 3, 5, 7 or 9.
[Suggestion] 5 Button Construction Mini-Bar

On its website, Aqua Coastal Sushi is described as �urban chic and sexy.� It also emphasizes �creative food in a cool atmosphere.� Aqua Coastal Sushi is visually appealing. And the menu is filled with interesting sounding items. But something gets lost in the execution.
ROSEMARY BEACH � On its website, Aqua Coastal Sushi is described as �urban chic and sexy.� It also emphasizes �creative food in a cool atmosphere.� Aqua Coastal Sushi is visually appealing. And the menu is filled with interesting sounding items. But something gets lost in the execution.
The food
Our server explained to us that Aqua Coastal Sushi is a tapas-style sushi restaurant. Each section of the menu features small plates. Dishes are composed with exotic ingredients and unusual combinations.
Salmon is served with truffle oil, sesame and sriracha. A salmon roll featured eel, avocado and banana. Crab and whitefish are teamed with melon, coconut and honey.
Despite the creativity, the resulting dishes were generally bland.
And there were issues that didn�t impact the flavor, but diminished the enjoyment of the meal. Some items were difficult to eat. The Lobster Melon Sunomono was a salad of lobster meat and three kinds of melon. It also included cucumber served as a long spiral, making the dish difficult to share (and impossible to eat with the chopsticks that had been provided).
Although it is not necessary that a sushi restaurant do things just like every other sushi restaurant to be good, sometimes common practices are there because they work.
At most sushi restaurants, large orders of sushi come out on a single tray or two. At Aqua Coastal Sushi each roll gets its own plate. They come to the table as they are prepared, which means if everything isn�t being shared, some diners have no food while others eat. In our case the rolls came out fast, and there was not enough room on the small table for the food we had ordered.
Sauces are also served in the center of each dish instead of on the roll. It was unsuccessful with the sticky eel roll sauce, which caused the rice to come off and stay in the dish.
All dishes are small servings, even the $20-$30 Hot Rocks items (Kobe beef, tuna and duck) that you cook on a hot stone at your table. Our beef dish was 4 1/2 bite-size slices of beef served with three sauces.
Kids can choose a peanut butter and jelly sandwich served as a roll, a banana nutella roll, chicken with sweet and sour sauce, and a fruit bowl.
Our server recommended the chocolate sushi roll for dessert. It featured sweet sticky rice, coconut and chocolate. It was very sweet and tasted like a high end Mounds candy bar.
Aqua Coastal Sushi offers sake (cold only) and sake cocktails that go well with the food served. There is also a wine list with some nice bottles, but it seems more suited to a restaurant that doesn�t focus on Asian cuisine. Excellent teas are offered. Options include jasmine pearl, silver needle and turmeric ginger.
The atmosphere
The interior of the restaurant is beautiful. There is also a lovely outside seating area.
But it was very dark. It is not unusual for those of us of a certain age to need our phone flashlights to read a menu. But when you need it to see the food, the atmospheric lighting is detracting from the main event at a restaurant.
The service
The staff at Aqua Coastal Sushi was not rude, but not welcoming either. Our server knew little about the menu, and gave us incorrect information several times.
Aqua Coastal Sushi prides itself on creativity and doing things that are out of the ordinary. But when a dish was delivered to the table, there was not a word about what was being served. Food was delivered without a word at all.
A final taste
Aqua Coastal Sushi is a lovely restaurant with some intriguing ideas when it comes to the food. If the creative forces behind the restaurant will put themselves in the shoes of a guest, the elements keeping the restaurant from reaching its potential can be overcome.

'Devious Maids': The controversy behind the new Lifetime drama

- For the first time on TV, there'll be a prime-time program featuring all Latina leads
- Lifetime's new drama has already received a slew of negative criticism
- Eva Longoria and actress Dania Ramirez defend show
- Some don't see show as an opportunity for Latinos in Hollywood
Editor's note: "Devious Maids" debuts on Lifetime at 10 p.m. ET Sunday.
(CNN) -- TV history will be made Sunday night with the premiere of "Devious Maids," the first prime-time program featuring an all-Latina leading cast. But even before the first episode has aired, the Lifetime show is receiving a slew of criticism.
Marc Cherry of "Desperate Housewives'' is the creator and executive producer, and he's joined by two fellow "Housewives" alums: Sabrina Wind and Eva Longoria. The soapy comedy-drama is about five Latina maids who work for wealthy families and dream of a better life.
The pilot opens with a Beverly Hills hostess scolding her maid: "I think what you people do is heroic. You wash clothes you can't afford. You polish silver you will never dine with. You mop floors for people who don't bother to learn your name," finally ending with, "That said, if you don't stop screwing my husband, I'm going to have you deported."
"Devious Maids" is loosely based on a Mexican telenovela "Ellas son la Alegría del Hogar," and stars Judy Reyes ("Scrubs"), Dania Ramirez ("Premium Rush"), Ana Ortiz ("Ugly Betty") and Roselyn Sanchez ("Chasing Papi"). Newcomer Edy Ganem plays Reyes' daughter.
Recently, some in the Latino community have expressed their disappointment for the show, calling it a "wasted opportunity" in that it will only perpetuate the ongoing issue in Hollywood that Latinas can play only stereotypical roles such as maids, gardeners and nannies.
"It is not wrong to be a maid, or even a Latina maid," wrote Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez, author of "The Dirty Girls Social Club," in an opinion piece, "but there is something very wrong with an American entertainment industry that continually tells Latinas that this is all they are or can ever be."
Longoria responded to the backlash on The Huffington Post: "I take pride in the fact that these characters are not one dimensional or limited to their job title. As the minority becomes the majority and the United States becomes more diverse, it is important that the protagonists on television embody this diversity."
"However," she continued, "television is a business. If we don't support shows that have diverse content, we won't see shows with diverse content! They will simply go away, and the hurdles to make the next show with diversity will be even more challenging."
Michelle Herrera Mulligan, editor in chief of Cosmopolitan for Latinas, countered: "Well, Eva, I've watched the show, and I'm genuinely sad to say that I disagree. It's not a complex portrait; it's an insulting disgrace."
"I saw the first [episode] and thought it was annoying," Valdes-Rodriguez said. "I just don't like the flamenco guitar tone every time there's a Latina on the screen. It's very unimaginative and predictable. I have no interest in the show at all."
The National Hispanic Media Coalition is supporting the show, stating members of the coalition watched the pilot and saw nothing wrong. They said if Lifetime were depicting Latinas in negative stereotypical roles, the coaliton would be the first ones to criticize the show.
"Some of the issues that Latinos go through in this country is characterized by each of these maids, things they are trying to overcome," said Alex Nogales, executive director of the coalition, interview with CNN. "If I came from a poor migrant experience, does that mean that story doesn't get told? That's silly."
Part of the criticism is the frustration that Hispanics don't have more characters on television that represent them as nurses, doctors and lawyers. Nogales says that to imagine Latinos being represented on-screen as successful professionals before telling the immigrant stories of hardship, assimilation and struggle first just won't work.
Actress Ramirez said on a phone interview with CNN that Cherry has hired two Latina writers, Gloria Calderon and Tanya Saracho, "to make sure that the Latino voices were really present and heard."
"We have, as Latina maids, been portrayed on television and movies, but none of them have been humanized," she said. "None of them are real life stories, choosing to take this role is more interesting to me because I get to tell a story of struggle."
For Ramirez, playing the role of Rosie Falta on the show strikes an emotional chord. Her character is a widow who left her son back in Mexico when her husband died and is working as a maid to help bring him to America.
"Not only do I tell this real compelling immigrant story, but I get to tap into my own experience because my parents had to leave me as an infant with my older sister, Danilda, back in the Dominican Republic and that took a lot of courage," Ramirez said.
Ramirez's mother worked as a clothing factory worker but was a nurse back in the Dominican Republic, and her father was a taxi driver, although he was a chemist back in his home country.
"Now, I finally have a chance to portray the stories of the older generation," said Ramirez. "If we are going to tackle Hollywood, then we need to educate Hollywood first. You gotta start there."
However, Valdes-Rodriguez says that people form their idea of reality by what they see on television. She used the racist comments about the boy from San Antonio who sang the national anthem at the NBA finals as an example of people "who don't know anything about Latinos' different cultures."
"I would advise those people to take a closer look at the people who attacked this boy ... where did they get the idea that we're all illegal immigrants? Well, the opening of the pilot episode of 'Devious Maids' has a boss threatening to deport one of the maids. Is this the only image Hollywood sees of us?"
Ramirez hopes audiences see that the leading ladies on "Devious Maids" as more than maids who are not defined by their jobs who happen to be Latina. Even though Ramirez has played every role from "the hot girl" to a superhero, she asks audiences, "how is that better?"

A Georgia man in charge of a weapons-heavy YouTube channel was found shot in the head last week.
Keith Ratliff, 32, was a channel producer for FPSRussia firearms channel, an account with more than 3 million subscribers that features videos of a man testing a variety of guns.
Ratliff was found shot in the head at his business on Jan. 3, and while police don't have a motive, they have classified his death as a homicide, FoxNews.com reported Wednesday.
In addition to being used to produce the YouTube channel, Ratliff's office was used to manufacture suppressors and gun silencers.
While often working behind the scenes, Ratliff did appear in front of the camera from time to time.
In one video he advocated for the right to carry assault weapons and declared "I am a gun nut," the New York Daily News reported Thursday.
Georgia Bureau of Investigations agents told WSBTV they found several weapons at the crime scene but don't know whether those weapons were used to kill Ratliff.
Police have said they don't believe Ratliff's website had a role in the shooting.
While police search for a motive, Ratliff's family told the local TV station they don't understand how this could have happened.
"For him not to pull out that gun and try to defend himself, he had to feel comfortable around somebody. Either that or he was ambushed," Ratliff's brother Kelly told WSBTV.

TECHNIQUE Mélange
Mélange yarns are made with top-dyed fibres of different shades, spun together, and are used to create heathered and luminous knitted fabrics.
From the French word meaning 'mixture' or 'medley', the process of creating mélanges has a smaller impact on the environment than dyeing a finished cloth.
Dyeing and blending fibres before spinning saves water and energy, reduces emissions and creates subtle variations that result in a much deeper, richer colour.

LG Asks South Korean Court to Kill Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 Tablet
LG has escalated its worsening patent dispute with Samsung, filing a request for an injunction against one of its South Korean rival's flagship products. Filed Friday, the injunction request asks a Korean court to "completely stop the sale, manufacture, and importation" of Samsung's Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet, which LG alleges infringes three of its display patents. Accompanying it is a demand for damages of $933,000 per day for each day of Samsung's "continued non-compliance."
