Bond, James Bond is an iconiccharacter on both screen and page.Bonds mystique stems not onlyrom his proession as a secretagent (and one who vanquishes the

villains at great peril), but also rom

the amazing gadgets, exotic cars,LeMans-style driving skills, andthe voluptuous women he seduces.Hes also well known or his wittyremarks, and you dont have to be ahuge an to know that Bond likeshis martinis shaken, not stirred.

Bond flms are known or their

signature opening graphics andlush scenery as well as the themesongs, which have been writtenand sung by the top contemporaryartists o the time. Some o thesehave become hits including PaulMcCartney & Wings Live andLet Die, Carly Simons NobodyDoes It Better (rom The SpyWho Loved Me), Sheena EastonsFor Your Eyes Only and Duran

Durans View to a Kill. SingerShirley Bassey spanned two decadeso Bond flms with Goldfnger in1964, Diamonds are Forever in1971; and Moonraker in 1979.Bonds watches are also legendary.

While Bond is a fctional character,his watches are real and on display

at the National Watch & Clock

(NAWCC) Museum, Columbia,through April 30.What we wanted was to have

an exhibit with broad appeal toboth our members and the generalpublic. A member o our sta isa James Bond an, and suggestedBond. When Ian Fleming wrotethe books, he made the charactersbelievable by surrounding themwith real brands. The movies took

it to the next step, and becauseo his job, James Bond neededto have the latest thing in cars orwristwatches, explained NoelB. Poirier, NAWCC museumdirector.He added that the movies, which

debuted in 1962 with Dr. No and

have continued through today, area microcosm o their time. (To date

there have been 22 Bond flms and the23rd one, Bond 23 is scheduled orelease in late 2012.)In the early 50s, Rolex mechanical

watches were the watch to have.Ian Fleming, the creator o JamesBond and author o the Bondbooks, wore a Rolex Explorer

and so did James Bond. One o theristwatches, a Hamilton Pulsar

LED digital watch circa 1973, is theonly known James Bond watch tohave been produced in the US, andin act, was manuactured locally byHamilton Watch Co.NAWCCs exhibit o Bondristwatches is unique in that it

brings together not only the typeso watches that Bond wore in printand flms, but its also the frst timethat Flemings Rolex Explorer hasbeen exhibited in the US and with anoriginal manuscript.Having those two pieces o

history together is a real coup orthe museum, said Dell Deaton,

guest curator o this special exhibit.He grew up in the 1960s, and hisgrandather ostered his interest intimekeeping.Deaton is also a an o both the

Bond flms and books. One o thethings I thought was brilliant aboutFlemings writing is that Bond wasultimately pitted against the clock.No matter who the villain was,the ultimate villain was the clock.

So it was important that Bondswatches be incredibly accurate. Asthe 1960s were unolding we wereon the verge o inventing perectelectric timekeepers quartzwatches that were as accurate in ayear as mechanical watches were in amonth, he said.He noted that is some ways the

watches have come ull circle. DanielCraig, who began playing Bond in2006s Casino Royale, wears anOmega, while Sean Connerys Bond(1962-67 and 1971) wore a RolexMariner. The Omega worn byDaniel Craig has a lot in commonwith the Rolexes that Sean Connerywore, Deaton said, adding that they

have a similar look in the dial andband.With the widespread use o

cellphones and more accurateclocks in vehicles, watches arent asnecessary in todays world to tell time.Watches are a personal extension otheir wearer just like cell phones havebecome, Poirier said.Watches have become a statement

o style and personal liestyle and

some in which we can indulge.The interesting thing about Bondswatches is that the Rolex Marinerthat Sean Connery wore is more o adivers watch, and you wouldnt reallywear it with a tuxedo. But since JamesBond did it it s ultimately acceptable,Deaton added.So whether you take your martinis

shaken or stirred (or not at all), theBond watch exhibit may spark yourinner secret agent.The National Watch and Clock

Museum, 514 Poplar St., Columbia,is open through March 31 Tuesdaythrough Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.with extended hours beginningApril 1Tuesday through Saturday

10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sundays noonto 4 p.m. (closed Easter Sunday).

More o a spring into ftness type person?This might be handy or you too. Some ous tend to over exert on the exercising ando course our bodies remind us to adjustslowly rom one season to another. Remind,yeah, more like scream at us!

Ready to tackle spring cleaning yourlawn and picking up downed branches andother winter debris? Prepare or a muscletwinge or two. You can make your owncozy sock wrap with just a ew items and alittle bit o time. Sock-it wraps

Youll need:

This crat is not an exact science anddont eel as though measurements have tobe perect. You will want seeds and beanswhich have a little weight behind them. Filla sock roughly to 2/3 ull, this will allow

or mold-ability and drape (to conform towhatever part of your body hurts). The morefll the less molding around a sti neck orsuch.

A ew examples o fllers used are: WholeOats, Pinto Beans, Rice, Lentils, WholeFlax Seed, etc. (Other suggestions includeWheat, Feed corn, Buckwheat hulls, Barley,Oatmeal, Cherry pits.)

Once the sock is flled with theappropriate amount, knot the end. I theknot intereres with a smooth wrap, cut apiece o twine to tie the opening o.

Cover the sock with another decorativecotton/cotton blend sock, or an ankle/lewarmer, you can even roll the sock intohand towel, tie with twine at each end andheat in a microwave between 1 minutesto 3 minutes. Again, this varies with eacmicrowave. The covers are ideal to washthe flled sock is Not washable. Please keepthe sock in a dry location or repeat use.

Heating times: The smaller size o thewhole seed or bean, the lesser time o 1minutes. The larger size whole seed obean can be heated to 3 minutes. Adjustimes according to your own microwaves.

Aroma therapy is added to the soccover ater heating, NOT to the flled sock.Natural oil extracts are a personal choice.Simply use a Q-Tip to wipe oil across theinside cover, or add a lightly oiled cottonball inside the cover. I preer the cotton ballor easy removal. Many oils can be ound inthe baking section o a grocery store, whilesome may be ound in a health or bathbeauty store.

ts hard to put Anthony Talarico in abox. This vibrant and active 60-year-old has an almost never-endingresume. His upbeat and positiveattitude is infectious.

Tony T., as he is also known, isprimarily an entertainer. He playsguitar and sings music fromthe 50s through

today. He playscountry/western androck and roll. Hesas comfortable withsinging John Denver,as he is singing PeterFrampton. Tony

T. also writes andperforms his ownsongs. Hes performedmore than 5,000 showsat Caesars Palace,Penn Hills, Pocono Mountain Resorts,Outdoor Adventure Centers and more.Hes also played at countless fairs andfestivals throughout the United Statesand at numerous benefi ts for hospitals

and causes.Tony T. is also a promoter. Currently, heruns New Vision Music Company and isdedicated to discovering, mentoring anddeveloping new local talent.

Tony T. is patriotic. He is a veteranhaving served two tours in Vietnam.

Tony T. is a lover of the outdoorsand nature. He was born and raised inMorgantown and says, I absolutely lovethis area. He combines his great loveand knowledge of the outdoors with hismusical talent in his shows. It makes for a

very entertaining evening.

But as varied as Tony T.s experience is,it all started with the music. Music, saysTalarico, has opened the door to manyadventures and friendships throughoutmy life.

Talarico was born to a musical motherand to a father, who didnt even know howto turn on a radio. At age 13, Talarico

absolutely fell in lovewith the guitar. Theshy, teenaged, pudgy,Talarico learned veryquickly that girlswould pay attentionto any boy who playedguitar.

I got the best of

both worlds from myparents, recalledTony T. Mymother wasthe caring,

compassionate one whereevery day was Christmas. Myfather was the quiet, sternone. It was from his fatherthat Tony T. learned the fi neart of cabinetry making andcontracting. That alwaysgave him something to fallback on in the precariousworld of show business.But it is that world ofshow business that is Tony T.sfi rst love. He recalls workingall day on a contracting job andat the end of the day droppingmy hammer, jumping in the car

and driving up to the Poconos toperform that night.

The Poconos holds a special place inTony T.s heart. He loves everythingabout the area, including the historyand the culture. He even put a CDout called, High on the Lehigh,A Gathering of Songs and

stories, history and Legends of the PoMountains. Its a CD that inclsongs, stories, history and revelatiodedicated to that area. Tony T. explailove the tall pines and the hidden streIm not a city boy, he said. Notclose.

a breath o spring at the2011 Philadelphia InternationalFlower Show. The theme o this yearshorticultural extravaganza, whichis produced by the Pennsylvania

Horticultural Society (PHS) and is theworlds largest indoor fower show, wasSpringtime in Paris.

A 37-oot high arch o the EielTower set amidst a garden oblooming lilac, roses, lavender andtulips greeted visitors at the showsentrance. This anciul garden alsohoused topiary animals including anostrich, butterfy, and unicorn andenticed visitors to travel urther to

the carousel stage, where a variety operormers celebrated Paris in musicand dance (think can-can dancers). Aspecial Parisian-inspired cake createdby the Cake Boss, Buddy Valstro,celebrated PNC Banks 20th year as

presenting sponsor o the Show.The many acets o Paris such as

a romantic antasy wedding scene atNotre Dame, lush rootop gardens,street scenes and intimate caes lledthe exhibit area. Guests also had apeek into Pariss Underground via anexhibit that was inspired by the cityscatacombs. A visit to Paris would not

be complete without the abulous artand culture several artists workedat their palettes amid the beautiulblooms as guest strolled by, and oneexhibit eatured a lighthearted tributeto the Tour de France.

Paris is also about couture, and theartistic divisions o the Flower showhad a new partner this year. PHSrecently created a new partnershipwith Philadelphia University to bring

I your list o spring cleaning choresincludes fnally doing something aboutthose boxes o old receipts, credit cardstatements and tax records, keep inmind that clearing out the clutter isnt

the only incentive or concern hen getting rid o old paperwork.hose fnancial orms could become a

potential gold mine or identity thieves.Most identity thet occurs in low-

tech ways such as stolen wallets anddocuments, experts agree. Storingdocuments at home could expose youto identity thet i someone breaks in.

Identity thieves also pick through trashlooking or identiying inormation, soits important to properly dispose odocuments you no longer need.

Its important to take steps to protect

yoursel rom identity thet whenstoring or disposing o documents thathave personal, identiying inormationon them, says Jennier Leuer, generalmanager o Experians ProtectMyID.com. Most o us know we need to keepsome fnancial inormation on hand, butmany people are conused as to what tokeep, how long to keep it, and how to

saely dispose o it when the time comesto do so.

Disposing o documents is airlyeasy, Leuer points out. Experts adviseyou use a cross-cut shredder to destroy

documents. As or what to shred, youshould destroy unneeded items thatbear account numbers, birth dates,Social Security numbers, passwords,PINs, signatures, ull names, addresses,phone numbers or e-mail addresses.

So what should you keep and or howlong? For most people, these guidelineswill sufce.

Spring cleaning

Pay and shred immediately:

* Phone bills

* Utility bills

* Credit card statements (unless

you need them for taxes or as

proof of purchase)

Keep for one year:

* Bank statements

* Pay stubs

* Medical records (but longer

if theres a question over

reimbursement or insurance)

Keep for about six years:

* Tax records, including copies

o returns and supporting

documents

* Documents relating to

the purchase or sale o a

home, or payment or home

improvements

Keep longer:

* Insurance records should be

kept as long as the policy is in

eect, plus fve more years.

* Hold on to IRA contribution

documents until you withdraw

the money, but shred quarterly

statements.

* Warranty documents should be

retained as long as the warranty

is in eect.

What to shred and what to keep

1. Never carry your Social Securitycard with you in your purse or

wallet.

2. Some communities now hostshred-a-thons. People who may

ace an overwhelming amount o

paperwork that needs shredding

can participate by bringing their

documents to a central locationor shredding. You can fnd a

shred-a-thon by searching online

or one in your community.

3. Use a secure mailbox, such asone at a post ofce, or out-going

mail, especially checks and bill

payments.

4. Keep personal inormation including fnancial documents

in a secure place, especially i

you live with roommates, employ

outside help such as a cleaning

service or babysitter, or have work

done on your home.

5. Consider switching to electronicbank statements and e-billing.

Most banks will now allow you to

stop receiving paper statements

in avor o receiving electronicstatements delivered through their

secure systems. Many credit card

and utility companies oer the

same kind o service or bills.

6. Consider using an identity thetprotection product that monitors

your credit, scans the Internet or

your inormation, and alerts you

to indicators o raud that may

be a sign your identity has beencompromised.

Spring cleaning season is a

great time to begin

minimizing the amount of

identifying paperwork you

keep in your home.

Begin by shredding anddiscarding any backlog of

documents, and then purge

each year as documents

become obsolete.

Throughout the year, be sure

to follow basic identity theft

protection measures,

including:

With hundreds of greenproducts coming out every dayits tough to tell what actually

orks, whats good for theenvironment and how to go green

ithout spending all the greenin your wallet. Plus, if youre likemany cash- and time-strappedAmericans, going green may seemlike a costly and time-consumingaddition to your everyday life.

Fortunately, several easyadjustments to your weeklyroutine can help you do your partto preserve the environment and

our paycheck. Take an everydaychore like doing the laundry.Spending more than $2,500annually on water, electricity,cleaning and laundry suppliescombined, the average U.S.household does more than 400loads of laundry per year.

Such costs can be taxing on theenvironment and your bottom

line, but here are a few simplechanges you can make to help yousave green by going green.

Cool it:The notion that you can only

thoroughly clean fabrics in hotwater is a myth. Approximately90 percent of the energy used

to power your washing machinecomes from heating the water.Wash your laundry in cold orwarm water. This will not onlyhelp to save money on yourutility bill, but will also minimizegreenhouse gas emissions.

Hang eM up:Dont dry your clothes

excessively - doing so is bad for

the environment and your fabrics.Try drying laundry the oldfashioned way - by hanging it on aclothes line or drying rack. If youare in the market for a new dryer,get one with an electronic sensorthat senses when the clothes aredry and automatically shuts off

afterward.DitCH tHe Dryer sHeets:Theyre an unnecessary

expense. Plus many of the mostpopular brands contain ethanol,chloroform and other chemicalson the Environmental ProtectionAgencys hazardous waste list.These chemicals are released intothe air after theyre heated inyour dryer. If you really need to

eliminate static cling, try addinga quarter cup of white vinegarduring the rinse cycle. Its cheaperand just as effective.

Fill er up:Depending on when your

washer was made you could bespending up to $195 each year

on electricity alone just to do thewash. Always try to run a fullload of laundry in your washer ordryer. Running a partial load usesthe same amount of energy as a

full load, but accomplishes less.Running full loads will help youuse less energy which is better fothe environment and your banaccount.

There are many ways to protectthe environment and it doesntstop with your cleaning routine.

Adopt some of these tips and theenvironment, your body and youwallet, will thank you in the lonrun.

laundry practicesTheres no question that the majority of Americans want to makegreen purchases and do their part to help preserve the environment.

But even as the economy starts to turn around, more than two thirds

of U.S. consumers say price is the biggest obstacle preventing them

from buying green goods or services this year.

Its no secret: Americans lovecoee. Every day it seems a newcoee shop opens around thecorner, and it s nearly impossibleto walk a block without passingsomeone with a cup in hand.Despite the rising cost o specialtycoee drinks in these difculteconomic times, Americanscontinue reaching or thatcherished cup o joe.

Coee drinking at workThe positive eects o coee

drinking are elt by hardworkingAmericans across the nationleading to increased workplaceproductivity and happiness.

According to a 2011 survey

on American ofce workers andtheir coee habits conducted by

Alterra Coee Roasters:

* 65 percent o workers drinkcoee while at work.

* The average workerconsumes three cups o

coee per day.

* 38 percent o workers saythey wouldnt make it through

a typical workday without

coee.* 30 percent drink coee in the

workplace because it helps

them ocus and increase

productivity.

Coffee culture

Coee not only beneftsemployees, but also ofce culture.The coee pot has displacedthe water cooler as the primarylocation to interact with co-workers, according to the survey.Two in fve ofce coee drinkerssay they have had interesting orhelpul talks with colleagues orbosses while near the coee maker.

While this pastime increasesbonding, survey results suggesttraditional coee pots can alsocause resentment and irritation

amongst co-workers. One in ourworkers say there is someone at

the ofce who never prepares reshcoee when needed, while 21percent said they dislike dealingwith people who make a messwhen handling the ofce brew.

To help eliminate such eelingso rustration, some employers/employees opt or one-cupcoee systems that brew romresh-sealed, single-use. Thisnew workplace trend allowsemployees to become their ownbarista by creating a number ocustomizable specialty drinks including coee, espresso, latte,cappuccino, tea and more without leaving the ofce.

Investing in coffee?As coee drinking grows

in popularity, it is also risingin cost. Specialty-coee salesare increasing 20 percent peryear with the average cost oan espresso-based drink nowat $2.45, according to the 2011Coee Business StatisticsReport. The report also showed18 percent o American coeedrinkers consume at least onegourmet coee beverage per day,a signifcant expense.

In act, more than three infve survey respondents say theyroutinely buy coee outside othe ofce, spending an average o$14 per week. Many say theyveabandoned the ofce in searcho a good cup because they

didnt enjoy drinking the coeeprovided at work, and 16 percento these workers admit doing socaused them to miss importantcalls or meetings at the ofce.

The

ofce coee

on

1. What i you could have a celebrity barista come to your ofce? Nearlyone in fve ofce workers voted to have Sandra Bullock, play barista in

their ofce. There was a three-way tie or second place, with Angelina

Jolie, Jennier Aniston and George Clooney all ranking as highly

desired ofce coee servers.

2. More than seven in 10 ofce workers who drink coee down themost cups o joe on Monday.

3. More than one in fve ofce workers admit the quality o their workwould suer i they didnt have coee.

4. Contestants on the new season o Celebrity Apprenticebetter keep a stash o coee in their briecases. Celebrity

bosses like Donald Trump, Mr. Burns rom The

Simpsons and Sue Sylvester rom Glee are all

perceived by Americans to be especially grumpy

without their daily cup o coee.

5. More women than men admit they wouldntbe able to go 24 hours without coee.
