A wheel alignment refers to the adjustment of the angle of the wheels so that they are perpendicular to the ground and parallel to each other. A wheel alignment can help to ensure the vehicle tracks properly and also will help the vehicle drive straight on level roads. This can vastly improve the life of your tires.
Oil is the life blood of the engine. Without enough motor oil, bearing surfaces may heat up and score, and the engine can be severely damaged or even seize up. The oil filter helps protect the engine by removing dirt and other contaminants from the oil. It is generally recommended to change the oil and filter every 3,750 miles for non-turbocharged engines.
The cabin air filter is designed to keep dust, pollutants, and odors from entering the passenger compartment. The cabin air filter should be inspected annually. A dirty cabin air filter will have a negative effect on the climate control system by reducing the amount of airflow.

Driving by, you may miss the Mondrian Hotel on the Sunset Strip because it doesn't boast any obvious signage, and that's the point. But if you look up, you'll notice the huge double doors a la Alice In Wonderland. The Mondrian aims to be an oasis of escape from L.A.'s hectic way of life and part of the charm comes from its nondescript exterior. A walk through the doors brings you the two themes the Mondrian is built around, escapism and decompression.

NASTAR Nationals Moves To Aspen/Snowmass
From our friends at NASTAR:
Aspen/Snowmass, COLO., May 30, 2012 - NASTAR, the largest public grassroots ski race program in the world, proudly announced today a new partnership with Aspen/Snowmass to serve as the host resort for the 2013 and 2014 Nature Valley NASTAR National Championships. Avid skiers from approximately 45 states, ranging in age from three to 90, will converge on the world-class resort to compete for national titles in various divisions of the Nature Valley NASTAR National Championships.
"Snowmass was the first resort to host the NASTAR National Championship when the format of the event changed in 1998 to a large scale public event," said Bill Madsen, director of NASTAR operations. "We are excited to bring the championships back to Snowmass and the Spider Sabich race area, allowing our participants to enjoy the amazing skiing and amenities that Aspen/Snowmass provides."
The 2013 event, March 20-24, will celebrate the sport of alpine racing and serve as a reunion for the top recreational racers in the country. Aspen/Snowmass has planned an exciting week of activities that includes race clinics, races, free concerts, Warren Miller movie screenings, autograph signings by U.S. Ski Team alumni and NASTAR Pacesetters, competitor raffles/giveaways, awards receptions, a Family Challenge team competition and a Team Race. Participants and their guests will receive discounts on lift tickets and lodging and they will be given a credential that provides great deals at on-mountain restaurants and in-town discounts on food and beverages, merchandise and recreational activities.
"The NASTAR National Championships is an outstanding event supported by passionate skiers and riders" says John Rigney, Aspen Skiing Company's VP of Sales & Events. "We are excited to show our new guests a tremendous experience in Snowmass".
To qualify for the 2013 Championships, NASTAR racers must earn a top five resort ranking in their age and ability category by February 18, 2013. Racers will be categorized by age, gender, division and discipline and take two runs on Friday and two runs on Saturday. The best handicap score earned Friday and the best handicap score earned on Saturday will be averaged to determine the competitors' final results. Each racer that wins a Nature Valley NASTAR National Championship title is invited to compete in the final Race of Champions competition on Sunday. Racers carry their handicap into the race to level the playing field so that young and veteran racers have an opportunity to win and become the overall Nature Valley NASTAR National Champion. In addition, the fastest man and woman, based on raw time, during the Race of Champions will earn a trip to a U.S. Ski Team training camp in South America.
"We are thrilled to partner with NASTAR and bring the Nature Valley NASTAR National Championships to Snowmass," said Scott Baldwin, Associate Marketing Director for Nature Valley. "Snowmass' diverse terrain and its reputation as one of the premier family-friendly resorts in North America will provide a perfect setting to celebrate the fun recreational skiing and ski racing experience that has become a hallmark of the Nature Valley NASTAR National Championship event."

Say goodbye to Snooki, The Situation, DJ Pauly D, JWoww and the rest of the "Jersey Shore" gang. MTV announced Thursday morning that the reality show will end after season six.
The network will be bidding its hit show farewell by offering what it calls "celebratory" programming beginning on Thursday, Sept. 6. That will include first looks at the final season, a one-hour retrospective and more.
The program debuted in December 2009 and quickly grew in popularity as cameras captured every headline-making fight, hook up, break up, make up and arrest of the hard-partying 20-somethings who share a house together. The show is MTV's highest rated series in its history. The majority of the seasons were filmed in Seaside Heights, N.J., but season two followed the cast's adventures in Miami Beach and season four in Italy.
"Jersey Shore" has spawned two spin-offs: "The Pauly D Project" and "Snooki & JWoww."
The final season of "Jersey Shore" premieres on Thursday, Oct. 4 at 10 p.m. on MTV.

CSU preview: Rebuilding the O-line
In the third part of a series of look-aheads at Colorado State's 2010 season, broken down by units, we look at the Rams up front, on the offensive line …
Newcomers: This is traditionally to toughest position to fill in college with a true freshman. That said, Mason Myers, 6-3, 285, is getting a look on the depth chart at center. Redshirt freshman Weston Richburg is very much in the battle at center.
Biggest losses: Shelley Smith, a sixth-round draft pick, Tim Walter, Cole Pemberton and Adrian Martinez — all multi-year starters who are in NFL camps.
Strengths: This is a work-in-progress area. Despite inexperience, many of the linemen have been in the program for a while and the Rams should be more than solid at tackle with Mark Starr and Paul Madsen, both with starting experience. Also guard Jake Gdowski had four starts in Smith place a year ago.
Weaknesses: Proven depth at tackle and figuring out the pieces on the interior line, particularly at center which had been manned so well for years by Tim Walter.
What to look for: Steve Fairchild says this group could eventually be better than the offensive line unit of a year ago. Time will tell. First, Ryan Griffin, Tyler McDermott and Connor Smith need to settle the positions at center and one guard. There is a fair amount of depth developing in the ranks.
More previews:
** RBs: Lots of carries for running backs
** QBs: Questions abound behind center

ObjectFrame.BackShade Property (Access)
Gets or sets the shade applied to the theme color in the BackColor property of the specified object. Read/write Single.
Version Information
Version Added: Access 2010
expression .BackShade
expression A variable that represents an ObjectFrame object.
The BackShade property contains a numeric expression that can be used to darken the theme color in the BackColor property. The default value of the BackShade property is 100, which is neutral, and does not change the theme color. To darken the color, first determine the percentage by which to darken from 1 to 100, then subtract that value as a whole number from 100 and use the remainder. For example, to darken the theme color by 75%, subtract 75 from 100 and use the remainder, which is 25.
This property is not surfaced in the property sheet.
The following code example darkens the BackColor property by 75%.

"He must be able to develop players. Good X's and O's can only put players in a position to succeed; they must also be taught the tools to actually do so. This requires that the coach be a great teacher of technique, drive, and desire (and if he is head coach he must be able to teach his players and his coaches those things as well), and to be a great teacher the players must also know that he cares before they will listen. Styles may differ -- compare Pete Carroll to Bear Bryant -- but the players must be willing to run through a wall for their coach."
That's my answer. Other contributors Feldman asked included former GA coach Jim Donnan, Rod Gilmore of ESPN, Jim Hofher Delaware's OC, and Phil Steele ("My No. 1 judge of a coach is how often they outperform my magazine's expectations."), among others.
2. Brophy chimes in with more on the "robber" coverage, as a jump-off from my recent bit on Va Tech's D for Dr Saturday. He includes some classic coaching tape of Virginia Tech vs. Syracuse in 1998 (McNabb was QB for the Orangemen).
3. The Blue-Gray Sky breaks down -- and is down on -- Notre Dame's use of the draw play. They do a nice job, but I'm confused why they are so down on the draw play. Michael points out that the play's average in 2008 was 4.9, which was down from a high of 5.3 yards per carry in 2005. That's true that it was down, but that's still a pretty good average for a team that averaged a paltry 3.27 yards per carry. (And if you take Jimmy Clausen's 54 "carries" for -74 yards out of the equation, ND still only averaged 3.92 YPC.)
Notre Dame's problems with the rush appear to be two-fold: one, they just need to get better at blocking up front, and maybe BGS is right that just committing to the inside zone or some other play will make them better; and second, the pass game is not as dangerous as it was, as in 2005 Brady Quinn averaged an impressive 8.7 yards per pass attempt (unadjusted). If I were them I would focus on a simpler base of run plays: four or five at the max. Anyway, check out the original post.
4. I agree with the Senator: The Tebow-gate vote scandal was anti-climactic (Spurrier: Uh, I didn't care enough to do it myself and someone else either got cute or lazy and I never looked. In fact, I never look.) As I take the Senator's point to be, do we care if coaches don't really bother with these things? I sure don't. I always figured the "Coaches poll" -- in its various forms -- basically just stood for "someone over there at the coaches office and/or athletic department of that school," and that was good enough for me. It's more of an issue of who else you'd want to ask.
5. File this in the category of strange ideas: Zach Zaremba wants Southern Cal to switch to the spread offense.
The Trojans have the athletes to run this prolific offense, so will they get behind the eight ball, or follow suit as so many teams have already done and install the offense of the 21st century?
Powerhouses such as Texas, Oklahoma, Ohio State, Michigan, Virginia Tech, Penn State, Florida and West Virginia have made the switch. When will the mighty Trojans?
Uh. There's more there, but the argument seems to be that USC isn't scoring as many points as, say, Oklahoma or Florida, and they haven't won a National Title in four years. But that doesn't make much sense: USC lost to Oregon State last year, in a single defensive breakdown, and Stanford the year before, in just a fluke game (many spread offenses have had similar breakdown games). Relatedly, this really can't be an issue of being wide open enough, as USC throws the ball plenty and does -- contrary to what the article says -- use four and five receiver sets (though not with the frequency of a team like Florida).
The other reason of course that USC hasn't won a title game over the last four seasons (aside from facing Vince Young), is that the Pac-10 has let USC down: Florida, which won two of the last three titles, had a loss each season, and LSU lost two games. It's a strength of schedule thing.
Anyway I'm getting off topic. The article is weird, and based on an equally weird premise: "The spread offense is the most popular offense in football today." That, to me, is a good reason not to run the spread. Look, the issue with pro-style offenses versus spread offenses is that spread offenses, where the quarterback is a dynamic runner, can get an arithmetic advantage. But that doesn't make dropback passing obsolete; if your guy is Peyton Manning or Tom Brady -- or the college equivalent, like Leinert or Carson Palmer were -- then you are more than dynamic enough. It's not easy to find guys with that kind of passing ability, but USC definitely can.

29 Tricks Found -- Page 1Next 10 Tricks >>
|The magician displays a sheet of newspaper and proceeds to fold it into quarters. He then takes a glass full of water and pours it into the folds of the newspaper. Of course the audience expects that the water will soak through the paper. Instead however, the paper is turned end over end and the water has apparently vanished! The magician even unfolds the paper, shows it on both sides, and the paper is as completely dry as it was in the beginning. The paper is refolded into quarters, and the liquid is now poured back out of the newspaper and into the glass. Not only has the liquid reappeared however, now the liquid has changed to the color red! This is a simple and easy-to-do effect that is entirely self-contained. It comes complete with a specially prepared newspaper and instructions.
|The magician picks-up a bottle of liquid. He starts pouring the contents of the bottle into the glass. Suddenly he lets go of the glass and it is suspended in mid-air, the liquid contents of the bottle still flowing into the glass! The rigging of this Airborne Glass is the best that has ever been created. Glass included. Note that this is not an "up close" effect and is best presented at least ten to fifteen feet from the audience. It is ideal for the platform and stage worker.
|This is an incredible trick that is often overlooked. The magician displays an ordinary soda pop bottle. The bottle is either filled with water or is already full of water. Or the magician can open an ordinary bottle of soda. The magician puts his hand over the opening of the bottle and turns it upside down. He removes his hand and the water remains suspended in the bottle! Is there some type of "invisible" covering or stopper over the mouth of the bottle? To prove that there isn't, the magician sticks wooden matches and toothpicks into the mouth opening of the upside down bottle! The audience clearly sees the match and toothpick float upward inside the bottle! The bottle is again covered with the hand, turned right side up, and the liquid is then poured out of the bottle. The bottle, matches, and toothpicks can be thoroughly examined. 051nufro00020
|Here is an excellent apparatus to change liquid into a solid object. The performer shows a metal vase. This is shown to be empty. A glass of water/any liquid is poured in the vase. This is now covered with an empty cylinder which the audience clearly has seen right through. Next, making magical passes the performer lifts away the cylinder and then makes a throwing motion with the vase, and out scatters colored confetti, the water has vanished! With some thought you should be able to use the apparatus to change liquid into toffee, garlands etc. and thus making it useful for varied routines. 0051rumudaquavase
|The magician displays two glasses. One of the glasses is empty and the other is full of milk. The magician covers the empty glass with a paper tube. Next he places a small square piece of solid plastic over the top of the glass. Lastly, he stacks the glass of milk on top of the plastic square. Visibly, the audience begins to see the milk in the upper exposed glass gradually empty itself until only a small amount of liquid remains in the glass. The upper emptied glass is removed, the plastic sheet is picked up and shown again to be solid, the paper tube is removed from the lower glass, and the missing milk is now in this lower glass! A surprising visual magic trick by Arthur Hambling that is rarely seen!
|The magician covers a water-filled champagne glass with a handkerchief and when he removes the hank, the water has transformed into red wine. He covers the glass a second time and when he removes it, it has changed to what appears to be amber-colored whiskey. He covers the glass a third time and the liquid turns to green. Finally he covers the glass one last time, and the liquid turns back to clear water! This great trick is self-contained and mechanical. There are no chemicals or food coloring involved. It is a stunning trick that will delight audiences everywhere. The glass is about 8-1/2" tall. Hank not included.
|An tube is shown to be completely empty. To futher demonstrate it's emptiness, a glass is dropped through the tube. Water or other liquid can then be poured into the tube but the liquid does not pour out! A magic wand can be passed through the tube and the wand can even be used to push a silk hank through the tube. The liquid has apparently vanished. The glass is then pushed back up through the tube and when it exits the top, the glass is completely full of the missing liquid! This outfit is beautifully made. Comes with tube, glass, gimmick, and complete instructions. Wand and handkerchief not included.
|On display is a bucket sitting on a small square pedestal. The magician pours a large amount of water into a bucket. He picks up the bucket and tosses the contents toward the audience! The spectator's on the front row instinctively flinch away of course, but instead of the water, a shower of confetti pours forth! This is a great trick for use with a Lota Bowl where the pail is the receptacle for the liquid for the Lota liquid. 42nufip00230
|The magician forms a cone out of a sheet of newspaper. He displays a plastic glass tumbler and shows that it can easily fit in the cone. He removes the glass from the newspaper and then proceeds to pour liquid into the newspaper. He picks up the empty glass tumbler, inserts it into the newspaper, and removes the glass now full of liquid! If you know how the old Liquid Appear trick works, then you get the jest of this effect. Everything is nicely made out of transparent heavy gauge plastic to reduce breakage; it works perfectly, and is visible on the largest stage.
|Long off the market, we are proud to introduce this unique magical prop. The magician seeming pours milk into a volunteer's ear using his trusty Magic Milk Pitcher, Milk Vanishing Glass, or Foo Can. Next he picks up what appears to be an ordinary ice pick and "punches" a hole in the elbow of the spectator's arm! Next he places his Comedy Magic Funnel under the volunteer's elbow and while moving the volunteer's arm up and down in a pumping fashion, the apparent vanished milk squirts from the arm! This tricky ice pick does it all. Ice pick only. Other liquid tricks sold separately. 578LOFsb-0017

'Twas the Night before Christmas' is theme of Pence holiday
WASHINGTON (AP) - Christmas at Vice President Mike Pence's official residence literally jumps out of the pages of "Twas the Night Before Christmas."
Every room on the main floor of the Naval Observatory represents a verse from the poem by Clement Clarke Moore, officially titled "A Visit from St. Nicholas." Pence has a family tradition of reading the holiday classic to his three children every Christmas Eve even though they're now adults and the gang includes a daughter-in-law.
Stockings hung by the chimney with care? Of course.
Instead of dreaming about sugar plums, kids can eat them.
Guests arrive to an oversized copy of the poem opened alongside a high-backed, red velvet chair.
The main attraction shines in the living room: an 11½-foot North Carolina fir.
The family is spending Christmas in Washington.

Car hire companies in the UK, Short Term Car Insurance Porsche in Sandton like every other car owner in the United Kingdom are required by law to have insurance for the vehicle covering third party risk. This mean that the vehicle has to have insurance cover for the eventuality that the vehicle is involved in an incident in which third party property is damaged or a person is injured.
So when you rent a car from a car rental company in the UK this insurance cover will be in place without you having to pay for it directly as part of your rental cost. The car is likely to have comprehensive insurance included in the rental cost. This covers the cost of repair to the vehicle in the event that it has been damaged.
However, due to the insurance costs incurred by the car hire company, they normally try to offset their costs by having an insurance excess or deductible on their policy. The excess amount could be in the region of GBP 600.00 and could be more if the vehicle is a premium type car, Get Short Term Car Insurance like a sports car.
The car rental company make the person hiring the car responsible for the insurance excess amount.
This means that in the event that the car is damage, the renter would be responsible for the first GBP 600.00 of damage to the car, Short Term Car Insurance Compare The Market if the excess has been set as GBP 600.00. By doing this they reduce their insurance costs and also give the renter an incentive to try and avoid the vehicle being damaged.
Rewriting Your Car Insurance Policy to Save Money
When a vehicle is returned damaged to a car rental location, the car rental staff will normally work off a chart of sorts to establish the approximate cost of repair. They will then apply this cost to the hirers credit card. In the event that the cost of repair is actually less than the amount charged to the credit card, there is some doubt that the car rental company actually contacts the hirer to refund the difference. The hirer should make a point of contacting the car rental company to establish what the exact of cost of damage was in case they are entitled to a refund.
Short Term Car Insurance Porsche in Sandton ?
If you're driving around without car insurance you are probably breaking the law and certainly tempting fate. Here's why you should get it as soon as possible.
All states have some sort of financial responsibility law that requires owners of vehicles to provide proof that they are financially responsible for injuries and damages their vehicle causes. Each state is different in their minimum requirements. The most common proof of financial responsibility is to purchase car insurance.
When you shop for an auto insurance quote, get at least three different quotes because rates can vary from company to company. That's really the number one way to save on car insurance. If you've been driving awhile without auto insurance, a lot of companies may not want to insure you. At the very least, you'll probably have to pay a bit more than someone who has already had car insurance and has a clean driving record. Again, make sure to check out several different quotes.

If you have a car, then you would need car insurance. The best car insurance can protect your car from any inconvenience should a likely car accident occur. But you should also be careful of what kind of car insurance you have. There are a lot of them available out there but not all can give you that coverage that you might be looking for.

There are liability car insurance policies that cover for accidental bodily injury as well as property damage to others. There are also policies that cover only damages caused by collisions with other vehicles or objects. There are also comprehensive car insurance policies that cover for loss or damage to the insured vehicle caused by circumstances other than car accidents. This may include car damage or loss due to fire, hail, vandalism, or theft.
You can also try to restrict the number of drivers on your car insurance policy as it might increase your premium payments later on. If you want to avail of good but affordable car insurance, then you can choose to drive a cheap but dependable vehicle because such cars can have policies that can well cover for damages at a very affordable premium. These are just but a few tips for you in getting that car insurance the cheaper way. A car insurance policy can greatly benefit a regular driver like you.

Innovatics necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 477 diseños de 156 diseñadores freelance.
We are a design and web agency based in Berlin and we need some great input for our project Lunchbox.
Lunchbox will be a web based application, developed by our company. Basically a tool for winning, managing and realizing projects, more accurate a "Project Management System". It will have a very simple user interface and a very efficient usability.
The look and feel will be alike 37signals's Basecamp (http://www.basecamphq.com) or Zendesk (http://www.zendesk.com).
The target audience is very simple, companies! Basically it is our target to create a tool that can work for every industry.
We like modern Logos like:
- http://www.dropbox.com
- http://www.zendesk.com (!!)
- http://www.scribd.com
Our idea of the Lunchbox logo is basically a real lunchbox - but we are very open for new ideas. May a "vector based lunchbox" will be the best. The name "Lunchbox" should be readable, not in capital letters (only Lunchbox or lunchbox).
As real requirements, we don't have anything special, it should work as a typical "Web" Logo, more specific a "Software as a Service" Logo.
The platform will be very modern, with iPhone application, special desktop tools, maybe that helps.
We need the logo as a .psd or .ai file.

Any tips you can give would be greatly appreciated! xoxoReplyDelete

I am in love with your tree. I actually used your tree as an inspiration for mine with the ribbon. It's amazing what a little bit of ribbon can do for a tree. I noticed while I was shopping for Christmas things that tree skirts are quite pricey this year. Where did you get yours at?ReplyDelete

I love uniformed trees. They look absolutely gorgeous. I do have a question. With a beautiful tree like that,do you have any ideas on what to do with the ornaments you get from your kids? They are adorable and I don't not want to use them, any suggestions?ReplyDelete
I've thought about doing a separate little tree (the kid's tree)??!!!!
Oh my. I absolutely LOVE your eye for design. I have recreated/will be recreating a few of your tutorials in my own home. Anytime I feel like I need a bit of inspiration, I swing by The House of Smiths blog. This year's Christmas design is probably my favorite. Keep up the wonderful work!!ReplyDelete
Okay...so I love everything! BeautifulReplyDelete
Merry Christmas
Do you mind telling the color and brand of paint you used on your turquoise table and the gray coffee table? I love them! My email is firstname.lastname@example.com
I was just about to ask what the grey color on your kitchen or diningroom wall was! email@example.com
Miss B, Busy Bee
I just came across your blog,you are amazing!! Great ideas!! Love it, I'm a fan !!
Where is your tree skirt from? Or is it a diy?ReplyDelete
It varies depending upon the weather, which species where planted by the tree farms years ago, and your region of the country. In Florida, Red Cedar, Virginia Pine, Sand Pine, Spruce Pine and Leyland Cypress are grown specifically for use as Christmas trees.ReplyDelete
Very very pretty. I like the display by the mirror and the garland is very nice. Great photos.ReplyDelete

About Transmission
One of the most overlooked areas for performance improvement is the drivetrain and transmission. Many people disregard clutch and gearbox modifications in their pursuit for more speed, worrying too much about adding more power, and too little about applying it.
JBS can help you decide which drivetrain modifications are right for you. Whether you're trying to improve your car's cruising economy or going for all-out performance.
Don't let your car's drivetrain hold you back. Supercar performance is only a shift away!

However it is subject to change, and does not form part of the contract between the client and the operator. The itinerary featured is correct at time of printing. It may differ slightly to the one in the brochure. Occasionally our itineraries change as we make improvements that stem from past travellers, comments and our own research. Sometimes it can be a small change like adding an extra meal along the itinerary. Sometimes the change may result in us altering the tour for the coming year. Ultimately, our goal is to provide you with the most rewarding experience. Please note that our brochure is usually released in November each year. If you have booked from the previous brochure you may find there have been some changes to the itinerary.
VERY IMPORTANT: Please ensure that you print a final copy of your Trip Details to review a couple of days prior to travel, in case there have been changes that affect your plans.
Itinerary Disclaimer
While it is our intention to adhere to the route described below, there is a certain amount of flexibility built into the itinerary and on occasion it may be necessary, or desirable to make alterations. The itinerary is brief, as we never know exactly where our journey will take us. Due to our style of travel and the regions we visit, travel can be unpredictable. The Trip Details document is a general guide to the tour and region and any mention of specific destinations or wildlife is by no means a guarantee that they will be visited or encountered. Aboard expedition trips visits to research stations depend on final permission.
Additionally, any travel times listed are approximations only and subject to vary due to local circumstances.
Group Leader Description
All G Adventures group trips are accompanied by one of our Chief Experience Officers (CEOs), a G Adventures representative, or an expedition team. The aim of the group leader is to take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible. They will provide information on the places you are travelling through, offer suggestions for things to do and see, recommend great local eating venues and introduce you to our local friends. While not being guides in the traditional sense you can expect them to have a broad general knowledge of the countries visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious and social aspects. We also use local guides where we think more specific knowledge will add to the enjoyment of the places we are visiting- we think it's the best of both worlds.
Group Size Notes
Max 16.
Meals Included
6 breakfasts, 1 lunch
Eating is a big part of traveling. Travelling with G Adventures you experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available out in the world. Generally meals are not included in the trip price when there is a choice of eating options, to give you the maximum flexibility in deciding where, what and with whom to eat. It also gives you more budgeting flexibility, though generally food is cheap. Our groups tend to eat together to enable you to taste a larger variety of dishes and enjoy each other's company. There is no obligation to do this though. Your CEO will be able to suggest favourite restaurants during your trip. On truck trips in Africa, aboard the expedition ship Explorer or our Galapagos yachts, while trekking in remote regions etc. food is included, plentiful and made of fresh local ingredients. The above information applies to G Adventures group trips. For Independent trips please check the itinerary for details of meals included.

Visas and Entry Requirements
All countries require a valid passport (with a minimum 6 months validity). Contact your local embassy, or consulate for the most up-to-date visa requirements, or see your travel agent.
Spending Money
Every traveller is different and therefore spending money requirements will vary. Some travellers may drink more than others while other travellers like to purchase more souvenirs than most. Please consider your own spending habits when it comes to allowing for drinks, shopping and tipping. Please also remember the following specific recommendations when planning your trip.
Money Exchange
Credit cards and debit cards are very useful for cash advances. Visa cards are the most widely accepted cards. While ATMs are widely available, there are no guarantees that your credit or debit cards will actually work in Latin America. Check with your bank. You should be aware that to purchase products or services on a credit card a fee of 5%-10% usually applies. Do not rely on credit or debit cards as your only source of money. A combination of US dollar cash, travellers cheques and cards is best. Always take more rather than less, as you don't want to spoil the trip by constantly feeling short of funds.
CURRENCY EXCHANGE TIP: Please be advised that slightly torn notes, notes that have been heavily marked or are faded may be difficult to exchange. It is best to bring notes in fairly good condition, in denominations lower than 100USD (or equivalent).
Emergency Fund
Please also make sure you have access to at least an additional USD $200 (or equivalent) as an 'emergency' fund, to be used when circumstances outside our control (ex. a natural disaster) require a change to our planned route. This is a rare occurrence!
Departure Tax
Depending on the exchange rate departure tax is approximately $48 USD per person. This tax is sometimes included in the price of your ticket, contact your airline to confirm.
There are several times during the trip where there is opportunity to tip the local guides or drivers. You may do this individually, or your CEO will offer to collect the money and tip as a group. Also at the end of each trip, if you felt your G Adventures CEO did an outstanding job, tipping is appreciated.
Optional Activities
- Mole Cooking Class
- Mezcal Factory Tour
Monte Albán
- Monte Albán Tour (300MXN per person)
San Pablo Villa de Mitla
- Valley of Mitla Ruins Visit (500MXN per person)
Please note inoculations may be required for the country visited. It is your responsibility to consult with your travel doctor for up to date medical travel information well before departure.
You should consult your doctor for up-to-date medical travel information well before departure. We recommend that you carry a First Aid kit and hand sanitizers / antibacterial wipes as well as any personal medical requirements. Please be aware that quite often we are in remote areas and away from medical facilities, and for legal reasons our leaders are prohibited from administering any type of drug including headache tablets, antibiotics, etc. When selecting your trip please carefully read the brochure and itinerary and assess your ability to cope with our style of travel. Please refer to the Physical and Culture Shock ratings for trip specific information. G Adventures reserves the right to exclude any traveller from all or part of a trip without refund if in the reasonable opinion of our CEO they are unable to complete the itinerary without undue risk to themselves and/or the rest of the group.
Safety and Security
Many national governments provide a regularly updated advice service on safety issues involved with international travel. We recommend that you check your government's advice for their latest travel information before departure. We strongly recommend the use of a neck wallet or money belt while travelling, for the safe keeping of your passport, air tickets, travellers' cheques, cash and other valuable items. Leave your valuable jewellery at home – you won't need it while travelling. Many of the hotels we use have safety deposit boxes, which is the most secure way of storing your valuables. A lock is recommended for securing your luggage. When travelling on a group trip, please note that your CEO has the authority to amend or cancel any part of the trip itinerary if it is deemed necessary due to safety concerns. Your CEO will accompany you on all included activities. During your trip you will have some free time to pursue your own interests, relax and take it easy or explore at your leisure. While your CEO will assist you with options available in a given location please note that any optional activities you undertake are not part of your itinerary, and we offer no representations about the safety of the activity or the standard of the operators running them. Please use your own good judgment when selecting an activity in your free time. Although the cities visited on tour are generally safe during the day, there can be risks to wandering throughout any major city at night. It is our recommendation to stay in small groups and to take taxis to and from restaurants, or during night time excursions.
Protests and Demonstrations- Protests and demonstrations, even those that are well intended, have the potential to turn violent with no warning. Counter protests can also turn violent. Action by security forces to disperse demonstrators and protesters may occur at any time. If you are in an area where demonstrators or protesters are gathering, avoid the temptation of staying for a good photo opportunity and leave the area immediately.
Water based activities have an element of danger and excitement built into them. We recommend only participating in water based activities when accompanied by a guide(s). We make every reasonable effort to ensure the fun and adventurous element of any water based activities (in countries with varying degrees of operating standards) have a balanced approach to safety. It is our policy not to allow our CEOs to make arrangements on your behalf for water based activities that are not accompanied by guide(s).
Swimming, including snorkeling, is always at your own risk.
We take all prudent measures in relation to your safety. For ways to further enhance your personal safety while traveling, please visit:
A Couple of Rules
Illegal drugs will not be tolerated on any trips. Possessing or using drugs not only contravenes the laws of the land but also puts the rest of the group at risk. Smoking marijuana and opium is a part of local culture in some parts of the world but is not acceptable for our travellers. Our philosophy of travel is one of respect towards everyone we encounter, and in particular the local people who make the world the special place it is. The exploitation of prostitutes is completely contrary to this philosophy. Our CEOs have the right to expel any member of the group if drugs are found in their possession or if they use prostitutes.
Travel Insurance
Travel Insurance: Travel insurance is compulsory in order to participate on any of our trips. When travelling on a group trip, you will not be permitted to join the group until evidence of travel insurance has been sighted by your CEO, who will take note of your insurance details. When selecting a travel insurance policy please bear in mind that all clients must have medical coverage and that we require a minimum coverage of USD 200,000 for repatriation and emergency rescue. We strongly recommend that the policy also covers personal liability, cancellation, curtailment and loss of luggage and personal effects. If you have credit card insurance we require proof of purchase of the trip (a receipt of credit card statement) with a credit card in your name. Contact your bank for details of their participating insurer, the level of coverage and emergency contact telephone number.

Day 1: Oaxaca
El Día de los Muertos is a holiday in Mexico to honour and pray for loved ones who've departed. During this period in Oaxaca – centre-stage for Day of the Dead celebrations in Mexico – cemetery vigils and street parades are not to be missed.
Additional Notes:

Day 2: Oaxaca (1B)
Take an orientation walk around Oaxaca with your CEO. Visit two massive markets located just off the "zócalo" (main square), here you'll find many local foods, ornaments, and Day of the Dead essentials for local families.
This tour includes visits to cemeteries in both Xoxocotlan and Atzompa to view the altars and families gathering as dusk turns to dark. The many candles placed around the altars and graves add to the ambiance. In addition, you'll view Day of the Dead parades in both Oaxaca and the Etla Valley. Participants in these parades dress in elaborate costumes and are serenaded by brass bands. Mezcal, served in small plastic cups, is frequently passed out to those watching the parades.
Day of the Dead takes place between October 31 and November 2 and is a celebration and remembrance of the deceased. Families will build private altars and bring large feasts to cemeteries, to be with the souls of the departed. It is believed that the souls will come back to visit and take part in the celebrations. Some of the "ofrendas" (altars) are very elaborate and include sugar skulls and marigold flowers. In most regions, the souls of infants and children are honoured on November 1. Adults are remembered on November 2. It is generally a festive rather than somber gathering.
The Oaxaca area is well known for its many artisans who make everything from pottery, to elaborate weavings, and mezcal (tequila's cousin). The group can also take an optional visit to a couple of the the nearby communities to see the artisans at work.

Urban Dictionary: flappy
It might have something to do with the seventh entry in there...
Student or Learner
Was watching an episode of Top Gear tonight and one of the hosts said "Well there's a flappy chap!" ...at least I think that's what he said- "flappy chap."
What does this 'translate' to in American English? Maybe 'happy guy' or something?
Urban Dictionary: flappy
It might have something to do with the seventh entry in there...
The 7th entry, actually, doesn't fit here at all, but I am also curious what this means.
If you're in a flap,l you're angry or excited- could it have meant that?
If not, could it have been flabby (fat/chubby)?
Or could it have something to do with the guy's ears?
I'm just wondering... Could I post the video on this thread that the phrase comes from? I browsed the forum rules and I didn't see anything on posting videos. I may have overlooked it, if anything is there... Just thought I'd ask before I post.
No- people post links to videos, but you can only post links when you have posted ten times. If you put the link up with spaces, I will repost it as a working link. I am afraid we have to do this to reduce the amount of spam and advertising that people try to post.
There are three presenters on that show. who spend a lot of time making personal comments about each other. Two of them could be said to have flappy ears, and one of those could be wearing loose trousers. The other could be called 'flappy' in the unusual but understandable sense of 'likely to get into a flap'. So all in all, the words aren't surprising.
