Mubarak Message Expresses Hope For Mid-East Peace JERUSALEM (JTA) - President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt has sent a message to Premier Yitzhak Shamir expressing hope that Egypt and Israel would continue to cooperate to "promote peace in the area." The message was conveyed to Shamir last week by Energy Minister Moshe Shahal. In Cairo, meanwhile, Mubarak told reporters that he expected Palestine Liberation Organization chairman Yasir Arafat to be in Egypt soon to discuss "further steps toward peace." He said Egypt was trying to solve the issue of Palestinian representation at an international peace conference on the Middle East.

The march and mass rally for Soviet .Jewry, held on Nov, 13, began yvith a blast Bill Passed By Ohio House To Protect Those Who Object To Performance Of Autopsy A bill was passed in the Ohio House of Representatives last week that protects members of the Jewish community who want to object to the performance of an autopsy on a deceased friend or relative. Substitute Senate Bill 283, sponsored by Senator Stanley J. Aronoff (R-Cincinnati) and passed in the Ohio Senate last spring by a vote of 29 to 0, was successfully moved through the Ohio House last week by a '.'. vote of 90 to 3; with concurrence on amendments by the Ohio Senate. The bill awaits Governor Richard Celeste's signature. Sub. S.B. 283,. initially drafted by the Agudath Israel of America, Ohio Chapter, and supported by the Government Affairs Committee of Ohio Jewish Communities, w^as developed to protect members of religious groups who object to the performance of autopsy. The bill gives a family member or friend the right to halt an autopsy for 48 hours if it is contrary to the deceased person's religious beliefs. In that time, the family members or friend have the opportunity to get an injunction halting the county coroner from performing an autopsy. The 48 hour waiting period is instituted by notice to the county coroner but is waived in the case of murder, suspected murder, manslaughter or suspected manslaughter. The bill, sponsored in the House by Representative Judy Sheerer (D-Shaker Heights), received broad- based support from legislators across the state of Ohio. David M. Deutsch, president of the Government Affairs Committee, stated, "The passage of the autopsy bill, which we worked so diligently on, speaks well for the responsiveness of Ohio's legislators, We explained (CONTINUED ON PAGE 4) of the shofar.

The rodent star of Steven Spielberg's new animated film An American Tail is the centerpiece of two major Christmas sales promotions, both apparently with Spielberg's blessing. At more than 7,000 McDonald's restaurants across the United States, Fievel is pictured on four facsimile-stocking Christmas tree ornaments, each given free to purchasers of a $5 book of gift certificates. The books also contain a coupon for $5 off a $25 Fievel doll at 801 Sears department stores nationwide. Sears has exclusive rights to sell merchandise based on the movie's characters, according to James Podany, director of marketing communications for Sears Roebuck & Co., Chicago. v Sears is placing the characters on a variety of children's products as a draw for sales during the Christmas season; however, Podany insisted that Fievel is not pictured on any Christmas-related items such as a wreath or tree ornament. 'Ill Advised' And 'Tacky' The use of an identifiably Charity Newsies Provides Clothing For Needy Columbus School Children Members of Charity Newsies will be selling the Columbus Dispatch throughout the city on Saturday, Dec. 13, to raise funds for clothing for needy school children.

"I think it's ill-advised" and "tacky," said Dr. Eliot Spack, executive, director of the Coalition for Alternatives in Jewish Education. He noted that he was expressing his own opinions, not his organization's policy. However, he told JTA that the Fievel campaigns did not pose major assimilation problems for Jews. "I'm not personally worried that we're going to lose thou sands of Jews over it," he said, explaining that children won't easily identify the mouse as Jewish, since Fievel is an uncommon Jewish name. He chalked up the Fievel promotions to capitalism. "Chanukah and Jewish linkages have clearly been exploited for many years" in the promotion of Christmas and non-religious events, he added!

Cards JERUSALEM (JTA) - A Supreme Court panel ruled unanimously last week that the Interior Ministry may not inscribe the word "converted" on the identification card of a person converted to Judaism. The decision, hailed in liberal and secular circles and angrily condemned by the Orthodox estblishment, is seen likely to revive the bitter debate over the' 'Who is a Jew" issue because it involved a conversion performed by a Reform rabbi in the U.S. The court ruling is considered a landmark because it makes clear the supremacy of civil law in Israel. ■'■' .'■■'.•,-'.,. The ruling was handed down by a panel of three justices — Supreme Court President Meir Shamgar, Menahem Eylon and Miriam Ben-Porat. Eylon, in an addendum to the ruling, stated that the word "converted" on an identification card was contrary to religious law. A number, of leading rabbis agreed with him on halachic grounds, though others have ruled differently. A storm is centered on Interior Minister Rabbi Yitzhak Peretz of the Orthodox Shas Party whose resignation was demanded Dec. 2 by ' Orthodox leaders. The court acted on an appeal by Shoshana Miller against the Interior Ministry. Miller was converted to Judaism in 1982 by Rabbi David Klein of Colorado Springs, Colo., and immigrated to Israel three years later, claiming citizenship. The Interior Ministry refused to register her as a Jew. But when she appealed to the Supreme Court last year, Peretz agreed to register her as a convert. He explained to the Knesset at the time that to register her simply as Jewish withoitf the qualifying "converted" could mislead other citizens and officials as to her standing under Jewish law. But Miller continued to press her appeal. Orthodox Establishment Is Irate The ire of the Orthodox establishment: focused on Peretz for registering Miller as Jewish even with the qualification that she was a convert. Ashkenazic Chief Rabbi Avraham Shapiro said in a statement Dec. 2 that "The Chief Rabbinate opposed the (Peretz) proposal all along ... in our view, a Reform conversion is just a joke because it does not require acceptance of mitzvot- It is impossible, indeed immoral, to accept such a convert whom a large part of the Jewish people does not accept as a Jew." (CONTINUEO ON PAGE 13) Conservative, Reform li< NEW YORK (JTA) -The Conservative and Reform Judaism movements of America have hailed as a victory for pluralism the Israeli Supreme Court decision barring the label of a convert on identity cards, but the Orthodox say they have merely lost the battle, not the fight. The Israeli Supreme Court ruled last week that the Interior Ministry may not inscribe the word "converted" on the identification card of any person converted to Judaism. The landmark ruling is just one small step towards resolving a bitter and emotional conflict between Jewish religious factions over the question of "Who is a Jew?" The Orthodox establishment has contended for years that Reform and Con- (fONTINUED ON PAGE 51 \'*'

The Colorado fire has taken its toll, having already destroyed more than 181 homes. The week-old fire in the 85-square-mile High Park now is considered as the most devastating wildfire in state history.
The High Park fire began with a lightning strike at about 6 a.m. on June 9. Media reports state that more than 3,000 evacuations have been ordered, with about a third of those having been lifted.
The fire, racing through large swaths of private and U.S. Forest Service land, is believed to have caused the death of only a 62-year-old grandmother whose body was found in her burnt cabin.
The High Park Fire burning 15 miles west of Fort Collins surpasses the Fourmile Canyon wildfire, which destroyed 169 homes west of Boulder in September 2010.
Fire officials said more than 1,600 fire personnel from around the country are battling the fire, with costs running more than $1 million per day to contain the fire and increasing with each day. The blaze was 20 percent contained, with full containment said to be two to four weeks away.
According to the Larimer County Assessor's Office, the property within the burn zone, destroyed and still standing, have an estimated value of $160 million, and the structures have an estimated value of $87.5 million.

Kornel Romada, a leasing agent with The Woodmont Co., which owns King's Crossing, said the lease was signed last week. Kirkland's will occupy a space near Maurices in the shopping center. Romada anticipates the store will open in May.
Jeff Snyder, general manager of the Mall at Barnes Crossing, said he "hasn't heard a word" about Kirkland's moving, but said it wouldn't surprise him because Kirkland's as a company is moving toward a strip center tenant with outside access.
If the store does move, Snyder said it will leave space for mall officials to market to other tenants.

93% of customers would recommend this product to a friend (2774 out of 2963)
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Worked with my laptop right off. Compatible with the IVT bluetooth software I had installed from a previous (larger) dongle that included full-featured software. It is small enough that it can stay plugged in and my laptop fits in the case.
Cons: There is no software included. Apparently under XP the drivers were already present (i.e. plug-and-play).
NOTE: you will still need software for transferring data to/from your cellphone or PDA.
NOT QUITE AS SMALL as I had pictured it. The black plastic part does not sit flush against the side of my laptop: You can see about 2mm of the silver USB connector sticking out, leaving the entire device about 1cm out the side of my laptop.
Other: Great price, no software, pretty small.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: -plug and play on my laptop with Windows XP
-comes with IVT BlueSoleil software
-it's so small that i can leave it plugged in when i put my laptop in its case
-works with my logitech V470 bluetooth mouse
Cons: -it doesn't go as close to the back of my laptop as i thought
-there is a gap between the black semicircle part of the adapter and my laptop
-it sticks out about 1cm from my laptop
Other: cheap, small, works well
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: The dongle worked right out of the packaging. I ordered this item to solve problems that I have with my Nokia phone, which refuses to communicate with my computer when I use the original provided cable.
Cons: Due to the construction of my desktop computer it is quite hard to remove the dongle from the USB slot when installed. The USB slots fall somewhat inside the casing and the dongle only protrudes about 5 mm. However, this is more a problem with the computer than with the dongle.
Other: Nice product. Not the cheapest one on the list but the small size makes it worthwile.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Very small bluetooth dongle. I have another blue tooth dongle but it is too long sticking out and since i want it to be there all the time. I need something like this one.
Blue Soliel Software version IVT2.6.09 provided but i do not need it. It works default in XP.
Cons: Minor Cosmetic: As the other reviewer said: The plaste does not flush when inserted into the computer. Since it is small enough (not protruding to out), i do not think it will cause an damage to the usb or the dongle (I hope)
Other: Cheap, no installation or custom driver need and works !!!
Highly recommended
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Works under Linux out of the box (tested with Ubuntu):
ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)
Really small.
Works with my bluetooth keyboard and mobile phone (both Nokia).
Cons: None.
Other: Get one if you need a very small USB Bluetooth dongle. Smallest dongle that I could find.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Great dongle for the price. IVT BlueSoleil software IS included on a small CD/DVD inside the packaging. Don't throw it out by mistake.
Cons: Sticks out a bit on the Eeepc USB ports, about 1cm total. In some other laptops, it sits almost flush.
Other: Works well. Excellent range (over 50' range with bluetooth headphones).
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Excellent price
Very small
Well supported chipset
Cons: Sticks out too far to leave in many laptops
Limited range due to small antenna
Other: It is hard to be too positive about this adapter. While it works perfectly fine, the entire point of the device seems lost since it sticks so far out of the machine. Granted this effect is probably less pronounced on other machines, but for the Eee this is basically useless. If you want full-time Bluetooth on an Eee, your best bet is to open it and install one internally, or at least get one of the other small adapters sold here on DX.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: It is very ittle and light.
I can leave it in my laptop at any time.
Although my laptop only has 1.1 usb it is very fast.
I use this bluetooth dongle with my nokia n73 to keep it up to date and change contacts and transfer documents etc.
Cons: only the installation was not very good I had to put my system back in time for it to work with the drivers included in windows xp.
Other: very good solid little good working bluetooth dongle for this money
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Comes in a nice package, really professional.
Comes with a driver CD.
It's really small so you can keep it attached all the times.
Just pluy n' play.
Cons: You have a USB port less in you note, this can be a problem if you own a high end notebook and don't have a lot os USBs, of course can be solved with a USB hub.
Other: Buy if you have a Pc/notebbok without Bluetooth (and if you own at least one Bluetooth device of course)
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: This adapter is small, connects quickly and easily, the driver disk not needed for Windows XP.
Cons: It could be a tad shorter in order to fit flush with computers USB port but it still fits pretty good.
Other: No regrets, I'll probably end up buying several more of these.

Stephens Co. Sheriff Billy Wade Cleared in November 2012 Altercation
By: Victor Sotelo
Updated: February 5, 2013
Yesterday the city manager released a statement saying that the Texas Rangers never investigated the November 2012 incident because the people involved never filed a complaint. A Texas Attorney Generals investigation found no laws broken, and an internal police department investigation found no policies were broken during the incident, so no one will be disciplined.
It was back in November 2012 that the female officer had to call for help over the radio when she was involved in some kind of altercation with Wade after he had been drinking. They were at the local golf course after hours and Wade may have been tased. The Chief of Police would not comment on camera, but said he is ready to move on.

The Media PrimaryHow News Media and Blogs Have Eyed the Presidential Contenders during the First Phase of the 2012 RaceIn the first months of the race for president, that weeding out period before citizens ever vote or caucus, Texas Governor Rick Perry has received the most coverage and the most positive coverage from the news media of any GOP contender, according to a new study by the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism. But in what is already a fluid race, Perry lost that mantle to Herman Cain two weeks ago, after the Florida straw poll and a faulty debate performance, according to the study, which combines traditional media research methods with computer algorithms to track the level and tone of coverage of candidates for president. The analysis also shows that Cain's narrative actually started to become more positive in late August, six weeks before he began to rise in the polls. Meanwhile, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney remains the one constant—portrayed as the ever-present if not passionately embraced alternative in the GOP field. Despite often leading in the polls, Romney has typically received less coverage and less positive coverage than his chief rival of the moment—and that remained true in early October after Perry faltered. Overall, he is second in the amount of attention received and the tone of that narrative has been unwaveringly mixed. One man running for president has suffered the most unrelentingly negative treatment of all, the study found: Barack Obama. Though covered largely as president rather than a candidate, negative assessments of Obama have outweighed positive by a ratio of almost 4-1. Those assessments of the president have also been substantially more negative than positive every one of the 23 weeks studied. And in no week during these five months was more than 10% of the coverage about the president positive in tone. These are some of the findings of new work by the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism that combines PEJ's ongoing weekly content analysis with computer algorithmic technology developed by Crimson Hexagon. In combination, the two research methods assess coverage across more than 11,500 news media outlets each day. A separate analysis also tracks the level of discussion and tone across hundreds of thousands of blogs. The study covers the 23 weeks from May 2, when candidates began to announce, to October 9, one week ago—that first phase of what might be called The Media Primary. The blogosphere, it turns out, is proving a much rougher environment than the news media for candidates, including contenders associated with the Tea Party movement. But one candidate has emerged as the winner of the blog primary so far—Texas Congressman Ron Paul. The research, across such a wide range of outlets, and using a combination of conventional and computer tools, make it possible to quickly compare shifts in news coverage and in blogs with events in the campaign and movements in the polls. The project will continue to provide reports tracking the level and tone of candidate coverage on a weekly basis throughout the campaign season. Despite his recent stumbles, Rick Perry received the most flattering coverage of any candidate over the five months studied. Positive coverage about his candidacy in the news media outweighed negative 32% to 20% (the remaining assessments were neutral). His coverage began to be less positive the week of September 12-18, before his Florida debate performance. But Perry endured only one week in which coverage was more negative than positive overall, October 3-9. And while he did not enter the race until August, he has received more coverage than any other candidate during the five months studied. The tone of coverage of Mitt Romney, by contrast, has been mixed—26% positive and 27% negative—numbers that are less positive than those for Perry, Cain, Michele Bachmann or non-candidate Sarah Palin. Yet what stands out most is consistency. While other major candidates have risen and fallen in the amount and tone of coverage received, the basic arc of Romney's narrative has wavered little from week to week from May to early October. Overall, news coverage of Herman Cain has been moderately more positive (28%) than negative (23%). But most of that flattering narrative has come recently—the result of eight straight weeks when positive assessments of his candidacy outweighed negative. The first two weeks of October have been particularly positive. From May through July, however, Cain was largely ignored, and his coverage was more negative or mixed. Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann's coverage overall has been substantially more positive (31%) than negative (23%). But she had the wildest ride of any candidate in the race. In five months, she moved in the media narrative from a long shot to a surprise contender, to an object of scrutiny about her health and husband. She re-emerged as the Iowa straw poll winner, and now she is back where she started, an unlikely contender discounted in the narrative. At the same time, she has been largely pummeled in the blogs throughout the time studied. Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin continued to display a gift for fascinating the media during these past five months. Though she never entered the race, finally announcing on October 5 that she would not run, Palin seemed to generate significant coverage whenever she hinted she might get into the contest. That was enough to make her the fourth-most-covered Republican figure in news coverage, and the most-discussed candidate in blogs. And despite her complaints about what she calls the "lamestream media," Palin enjoyed coverage that was considerably more positive than negative—by a factor of almost 3-2. Bloggers, meanwhile, were much more disapproving. The two biggest losers among the GOP have been former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty, whose candidacy lasted less than three months. While Gingrich generated much more coverage than Pawlenty, both candidates received negative assessments that outweighed positive ones by a ratio of more than 2-1. Both candidates also endured negative coverage virtually every week. The GOP field also has what might be called the long shot duo. They are former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum and former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman. Their candidacies are distinguished in the media by two elements. They both generated only modest amounts of coverage. And that coverage has been mixed between positive and negative assessments. The same could be said of the narrative in the news media of Texas Congressman Ron Paul, who received the least coverage of any candidate overall (although from July on, Newt Gingrich received less coverage than Paul did). The difference with Paul is that he has received, by far, the most favorable coverage of any candidate in the blogosphere—48% positive and only 15% negative.
The study examined four basic elements of each candidate's narrative. It measured how much attention each candidate received in news media. It also examined the tone of that coverage. Then, separately, it assessed the amount of attention and tone in blogs. To analyze the level of attention, researchers identified all of the campaign coverage from a core list of mainstream news outlets using PEJ's weekly analysis, called the News Coverage Index. That core list includes 52 different news outlets from newspapers, cable news, broadcast television, the 12 most popular news websites in the country, and radio news (NPR, syndicated radio headlines and three talk radio personalities). To assess the tone of coverage, PEJ researchers then employed computer algorithmic software from Crimson Hexagon. Researchers conducted a tone analysis and then "trained" the algorithm to follow the same rules as they had themselves. PEJ also conducted inter-coder tests to ensure the computer coding was replicable and valid by comparing human coding to the results derived by the algorithm. The project also had different people build the algorithms separately to ensure that they were achieving consistent results. Each computer algorithm was then additionally tested for reliability by having multiple researchers review the content assessed and the results. The tone analysis was conducted on two different samples. The first was of the coverage and commentary on more than 11,500 news outlets, based on their RSS feeds. While the content is text based, the material on various television news sites often closely resembled the stories that had aired on television, and in some cases were exact transcripts. The second was from hundreds of thousands of blogs. (Facebook and Twitter feeds were not included after researchers found that the political assessment offered there was typically quite brief or referred to blog or news content.) Among other findings:

Welcome to Naples, home to the best pizza of the world. As your fellow travellers are arriving throughout the day, there are no planned activities until your Group Meeting at 6pm this evening, so check-in to the hotel (check-in time is approx 3pm) and enjoy the city. Please make every effort to arrive in time for this important meeting. If you are delayed and will arrive late, please inform the hotel or us directly- contact numbers are provided in these notes. Your Chief Experience Officer (CEO) will then leave you a message at the front desk informing you of where and when to meet up. Why not join your Chief Experience Officer (CEO) after the welcome meeting at an optional group dinner to eat the dish Naples is famous for—pizza!
Today we head off by private transport to our accommodation, an agriturismo just outside of Furore. Enroute we will visit the famed site of Pompeii, at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, near Naples. One of Italy's best-known sites, this unique visit is truly an amazing experience. After our guided tour with an expert local guide, there will be some free time to explore on your own before heading to our accommodation. For the duration of our trip we stay at the same agriturismo. Located in a tiny village just outside of Furore, our accommodation was formerly a 16th century monastery - the friendly and hospitable staff are unsurpassed. The monastery is surrounded by colourful gardens, open terraces and endless staircases leading out to lemon tree groves and grape vines. Enjoy your meals in an open-air dining area that overlooks the crystalline waters of the Mediterranean Sea. Tonight, and every night, we will enjoy a real treat for our Local Living experience. Before dinner, our local hosts will show us how to make a delicious specialty to traditional regional recipes, using local produce. Indeed, depending of course on the season, you may well be selecting and picking part of your own dinner from the vegetable patch and orchards before cooking it! This activity will be available every night before dinner, for a time varying between 20 minutes and 1 hour, depending on what time you finish your days' activities and the seasonal availability of ingredients. Estimated Travel Time: 1hr to Pompei and 1.5hrs Pompei to Furore
Walk through meadows to the lush verdant flora and beautiful waterfalls of the Valle del le Ferriere National Park. The bustle of the Amalfi Coast is only a few miles away as the crow flies, but away from the throng we have the chance to savour the quieter surroundings. We will take the "Valle dei Mulini" route, which will take about 4 hours (not including a lunch stop). It's a 300m height gain and the same in descent. The route goes up alongside the Rio Canneto, then there is a possible rest stop with picnic table by the river. From here you have the option to rest and enjoy the view, or to go on to the edge of the nature reserve for better views of the waterfalls. We will then continue on the path to the village of Pontone where we will have drinks and snacks. Then we will continue with steps downhill to Amalfi. Valle delle Ferriere is a UNESCO natural wonder, with sparkling waterfalls, and renowned for its rare and beautiful flowers. It is also home to the oldest remaining paper mills in Europe. Paper manufacture is one of the traditional crafts of this area and there are two remaining working paper mills, which you are welcome to visit. Amalfi also has a Paper Museum where you can learn more about this ancient craft and the local people who made their living from it. We will provide a packed picnic lunch picnic on our walk today, as it is the first day of walking and quite a long day. Depending on your hiking experience, you might find that the trails used on this trip range from moderate to a bit more demanding in difficulty. All hikes are optional. At any time you do not wish to participate in any of the included hikes, your CEO can help you arrange optional, non-included day activities in the area at an additional cost. Please note, picnic lunches for the other days are not included but you will have different lunch options each day that your G Adventures CEO will brief you about the night before.
We set off early to the lovely hilltop town of Ravello. The walk is steep but delightful partially along a paved road with traffic and partially up stone steps. Ravello is famous for the beauty of its situation, perched high above the azure Mediterranean with stunning views in all directions, and for its musical associations. The scenery here inspired many poets, artists and musicians, most prominent amongst them Wagner. After free time for you to to visit the Villa Rufolo and the cathedral, we walk down a quiet footpath to the tiny coastal village of Atrani. From here we follow back streets and improbably tiny alleyways to return to Amalfi and thence our agriturismo home. Estimated Walking Time: 1.5 hours
Today's hike takes us to the mountain slopes of Mount Tre Calli. We begin from Bomerano and hike uphill through woodland and then open slopes with magnificent glimpses down to the sparkling Mediterranean sea. The first half of the walk varies between walking along a paved road, a dirt road and going up and down steps. The second—and most challenging— half is up on the side of the mountain, with steep uphills, big steps, and is mostly on rocks. Getting down the mountain can be very steep and sometimes slippery. As with all of our hikes, today's hike is optional but you are rewarded with stunning views throughout. Tonight's cooking demonstration and multi-course dinner will certainly be earned if you complete today's hike. Estimated Walking Time: 5 hours
Today is a free day for you to enjoy more sites of your choice along the Amalfi Coast. Perhaps a visit to the famous resort islands of Capri or Ischaia, with their stunning scenery, entices you. There is a regular boat service from Amalfi to Capri and it is a very pleasant and popular day trip. We also have details of more beautiful walks in the area if you would like to do another day's hiking. Amalfi's famous historic cathedral should not be missed, or simply hit the beach for some R&R. A day spa is locating close to our Local Living home if you would like to pamper yourself on your free day.
Probably the most famous walk of the Amalfi region, the ancient trail climbs along ridges high above the coastal towns of Positano and Praiano, once the only road connecting these two villages. The path can be rough underfoot and a little exposed but well worth it for the spectacular scenery and the chance to be so close to nature and "the Gods". The outstanding beauty of the Amalfi Coast can only be fully appreciated on foot. Follow ancient paths and trails linking isolated farms, villages, churches and monasteries. Most of the walking offers amazing views to the rugged coastline below with wonderful vistas from village to village. Hike 1.4km uphill along a forest trail and stairs to the small town of Bomerano, perched in the hills high above the sparkling sea. From there, we walk approximately 8km to the village of Montepertuso and eventually to Positano along sometimes narrow path with sensational views down to the sea far below. Walk past abandoned farmhouses and lemon groves, across high mountain pastures and through woodland, and finally down to hilltop villages and steeply down to the coast again. The last part of the path is on the main road and then down approximately 1300 stairs. This last part can also be done by public bus to save knees and ankles. The walk finishes in Positano where you will have time if you wish to explore the bustling resort. We'll then take a scenic boat ride back to Amalfi and bus it back to the agriturismo. Estimated Travel Time: 2 hours to return to Furore Estimated Walking Time: 5-6 hours
Depart the agriturismo at 8:30am, arriving to Amalfi at 9am via a provided group transfer. If you opt to stay at the agrigurismo in Furore until checkout time at 11am, we will gladly help you to arrange any onward transport at your own cost.

Bright, soft, subtle, uplifting, atmospheric and warm. Beautiful You is a track that motivates, inspires, builds and climaxes. It's joyful, fun, wandering, feel-good and positive with an indie acoustic feel with a happy chorus. Violins, cellos and a string ensemble accompany a warm bass, delicate piano and driving drums.
Medium tempo and great for use in a variety of contexts from corporate videos to virals and for adverts and idents.

Back for the 6th time! No need to say much else as this speaks for itself! The Mackays, South Staffs, October 2010
Our first time in Spain instead of the usual Brittany and we loved it! The house is convenient and comfy and the view of the Picos is great on a clear day. The Elder Family, Northumberland, August 2010
Our 2 main days out were the 2 zoos - Santillana and the Park SE of Santander - used the Privilege Card at both. Really enjoyed both but very different. at Santillana much smaller, easy to walk around but still stayed there for hours. At the Parque de Cabárceno you drive around amazing landscapes and then park when you want to view the animals who have incredibly natural and expansive enclosures. An excellent time which kept our family well entertained. The Galloways, Birmingham, July 2010
We spent several days on Comillas beach and then went on to explore those at Oyambre and Luana (this one was very good for rock pools). Trevor, Andrea, Izzie & Denham, Beds, July 2010
Everyone is very friendly and helpful here. John, Lindsey, Sarah & Alice, Berks, July 2010
If the weather is bad and you like retail therapy, visit the Valle Real shopping complex near to Santander airport - all indoors. Janet & Ian Warrender, Cheshire, June 2010
Lovely casa, great position for the town and amenities. Garden was great and the horses were lovely. All in all it was a totally fabulous week! John, Toni, Ava & Kat, Ascot, June 2010
This is truly a wonderful property, comfortable and welcoming, in an excellent location. The view from the house is outstanding - we had clear sunny days with a great view of the snow capped mountains. It is a 5 minute walk to the town square - to shops and restaurants. An excellent holiday! The Flanagans, Doncaster, October 2012

Mean radius is 2,576 vs 2,634km. 'Quite a bit larger'? It's 2.3% Jerry. It's so close that before we really got up close with Titan, we thought IT was larger because of the size of its atmosphere.
This part is true.closer to the sun,
Because Saturn's tiny, right?and close to a larger planet,
Yeah - That would be good. As would be answering the manifold questions I've asked you, as the rules of ATM dictate you should.Once again, I need .........discard the premise.
