The novelty mode is a nod to old-timey VHS tapes, and their gleefully dodgy quality.
In celebration of the anniversary of the VCR, YouTube has now added a "tape mode" to certain videos to recall that old crunchy VHS feeling.

WELCOME :) I'm rather boring, but I try to make the most out of it... I love photography and I try to take a lot of pictures. But not selfies because I'm actually really bad at those Music is my life but don't play any instruments or sing. Dance is my passion. I couldn't live without it. I'm on my schools varsity dance team and have been since freshman year :) I like hipster music hehehehe ;) Not going to lie, one of my pet peeves is when people eat. Like everyone is just so disgusting about it. I have a really hard time eating around people now. It's really bad I do what makes me happy and that's fine if you don't like what I do, but don't criticize me because I don't criticize you. I have a lot of feelings and opinions and I get them out through writing :) My entire life is a contradiction of itself. ~ And we'll all float on ok, and we'll all float on anyway~ The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams -Eleanor Roosevelt Never be bullied into silence.

Each generationPosted by Lawrence Dillon in Uncategorized
For Christmas, my mother, who is 91, gave me her international travel journals – accounts of trips she took outside the US from 1956-1982.
Eight international trips in twenty-six years isn't a lot by today's standards but, for a woman of her time and circumstances, it represented a concerted effort to experience new lands and cultures. Especially when seen against the backdrop of her heritage – her parents never left the US – her ability to explore the world was an immense leap, made possible by much improved means of travel.
Reading these journals gives insight into a vanished relationship between carrier and passenger. Difficult to imagine an airline offering free champagne to everyone on board today.
When I was a teenager, I learned a lot about new music by going to my local library. There I found recordings and sometimes even scores, of the latest works by Stockhausen, Cage, Boulez, Carter.
There was a period, say 5-15 years ago, when teachers lamented the decline of public libraries, which no longer carried these materials. Now that gap has been filled: the www gives the young and the curious access to more kinds of music than we could have imagined in my salad days.
We've entered college audition season and, as I interview dozens of hopeful, young composers, I am repeatedly astonished by the depth of their awareness of the new music scene. I meet young men and women who, without having spent a moment in an institution of higher learning, are fluent in Lang, Adams, Bolcom, Gann… you name it. It's pretty awesome, in the traditional sense of the word.
Just as astonishing, though, are the ones who show up without the least knowledge of anything, the ones who have found some music software and developed a fair proficiency without exhibiting the slightest curiosity about what anyone else might be doing with some of these same ideas and tools.
When I see them, I think of my mother. Given an ability to travel that far outstripped that of her forebears, she took advantage and saw a decent chunk of the world. That, to me, is the assumption: to every generation more is given, and more is expected.

It's no question that this fire tower has already helped to save lives right here in the CSRA.
Columbia County Fire Rescue has developed plans to plans to rent out the facility when it's not in use by Columbia County firefighters.
a firefighter's life is very important, so that's what we're hoping to
accomplish from this," said Chief Brent Willis. "And it better serves the citizens not only here
but also in the communities around us."
Training Chief
Brent Willis works with firefighters in the training center on a
frequent basis. Now, the goal is to give other agencies without their
own tower a chance to as well.
"Fire departments have the
ability to rent that facility to conduct their training," said Willis. "It gives them
the ability to conduct different types of training, that we can take
them through that building."
That training is something the department prides itself in.
of the things that we pride ourself in is the training aspect," said Willis. "And
training our firefighters and having the ability to train other
firefighters from around the area."
That training is something that Chief Willis says is crucial to the everyday experience of a firefighter.

PhotoshopFollowing the System
I've mentioned the Scott Kelby's 7 Point System for Photoshop CS3. I thought I'd revisit an image I took last summer in Seattle and give you the before and after images to give you a sense of what you can do with the adjustments in Camera Raw backed up by a little work in Photoshop CS3. You can click on the images to see larger versions.
Most of the work was done in Camera Raw. After Raw adjustments I opened the image in Photoshop as as smart object. I made a copy of the smart object and re-edited it in Camera Raw and completely changed the adjustments allowing me to pop the sign. I use a layer mask to push the first layer through the second except for the sign. It's a nice workflow.

Coulrophobia is a fear of clowns.
The term is of recent origin, probably dating from the 1980s,[1] and according to one analyst, "has been coined more on the Internet than in printed form because it does not appear in any previously published, psychiatric, unabridged, or abridged dictionary." However, the author later notes, "regardless of its less-than-verifiable etymology, coulrophobia exists in several lists."[2]
The prefix coulro- may be a neologism derived from the Ancient Greek word κωλοβαθριστής (kōlobathristēs) meaning "stilt-walker."[nb 1] Although the concept of a clown as a figure of fun was unknown in classical Greek culture,[4] stiltwalking was practiced. The Online Etymology Dictionary states that the term "looks suspiciously like the sort of thing idle pseudo-intellectuals invent on the Internet and which every smarty-pants takes up thereafter".[5]
According to a psychology professor at California State University, Northridge, young children are "very reactive to a familiar body type with an unfamiliar face".[6] Researchers who have studied the phobia believe there is some correlation to the uncanny valley effect.[7]
A study conducted by the University of Sheffield found that the children did not like clown décor in the hospital or physicians' office settings. The survey was about children's opinions on décor for an upcoming hospital redesign. Dr Penny Curtis, a researcher, stated "We found that clowns are universally disliked by children. Some found the clown images to be quite frightening and unknowable."[8][9]
In popular culture[edit]
|This section may contain excessive, poor, or irrelevant examples. (September 2014)
In July 2006, the Bestival, a three-day music festival held in England, had to withdraw a request to festival goers to come dressed as clowns due to the unexpectedly high prevalence of claimed coulrophobia among the potential audience.[10]
In a 1992 episode of Seinfeld ("The Opera" S4, E9) recurring character "Crazy" Joe Davola plays a clown dressed as the character Pagliaccio from the opera Pagliacci. Davola approaches Kramer, who thinks the clown looks familiar. Kramer mentions that he was scared of clowns. The clown then asks Kramer if he is still scared of clowns, to which Kramer uneasily answers, "Yeah."
Coulrophobia can be a plot device used to show how the protagonist must overcome his fears in order to vanquish the enemy. Examples include the 2009 film Zombieland, in which a character must overcome his fear in order to kill a zombie clown.[11]
In The Simpsons episode "Lisa's First Word", Homer tries to build a bed for Bart after he outgrows his crib, and fashions the headboard into a clown. However, instead of being the "fun friend" Homer intends it to be, it triggers insomnia in Bart, who keeps repeating "can't sleep, clown will eat me."[9][12] The phrase became an Internet meme and inspired the Alice Cooper song "Can't Sleep, Clowns Will Eat Me".[13]
In Stephen King's It, the eponymous menace is a being that preys on, and by unknown mechanism, manifests his victims' worst fears. When in the presence of multiple other beings, It takes the form of a clown, suggesting that the clown is the "lowest common denominator" for the irrational fears of all the protagonists.
It is also argued that notorious clown figures in literature (Pennywise in It) and real life (John Wayne Gacy) have contributed to adults being averse to clowns. Additionally, the fact that much clown behavior is "transgressive" (anti-social behavior) can create feelings of unease.[14]
A more recent use of the term coulrophobia as a "significant plot device" was the February 25, 2014 episode of the TNT program Rizzoli & Isles. The episode ("Tears of a Clown" S4, E13), is described by the Celeb Dirty Laundry website this way: "...a kidnapper who dresses as a clown reemerges in Boston after more than 20 years, the squad is struck with fear."[15]

News on the recession often focuses on job numbers, employment programs and wages, but assets are another important indicator of the nation's – and a family's – economic health. A recently released infographic from George Washington University's Face the Facts USA reveals that assets have decreased markedly in the recession.
|The full infographic includes additional statistics on the decreasing net worth of US households.
From 2007 to 2010, the median net worth of American households decreased by $49,100, and minority households have been especially impacted. White households, on average, have a net worth almost 20 times the median net worth of African-American households and more than 14 times the net worth of Hispanic households. Increasing assets, in addition to income and job readiness, is a core goal of CICF's Family Success efforts, especially at the Centers for Working Families. With many local families starting with negative net worth, Centers for Working Families sites provide education and support to clients. Clients at the Centers have achieved income gains of more than $1,000 and net worth gains of more than $4,000 through March 2012.

What's better than having that beachfront property on a beautiful, scenic island in your back pocket? Whether you're keeping it for yourself to have your personal moments of zen or renting it so others can do so, having that can be a smart investment.
Concierge Auctions tugs at your wallet a little as they will be offering six luxury properties on one of the most beautiful islands in the world, Hawaii.
Two luxury houses, two lakefront lots and an 11-acre agricultural property each with private gates near a reservoir on Kauai's north shore will be up for auction at Concierge's on October 14, 2010.
"On the heels of the successful auctions of the Pueo Point residence and adjacent lot last month and two Kealia Kai properties in March, I'm thrilled to be working with the Concierge Auctions team again," Neal Norman, founder of Koa Properties, said.
The property called Mali'e Wai, which means "Quiet Waters", is well spread out over 16 acres located on Hawaii's north shore. Five separate properties are offered in the estate, either individually or combined.
No matter which property you go with, you'll have plenty of space and opportunity to relax. Home one comprises two bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, a pool and spa in over 2,700 square feet. Starting price for that is only $3.1 million. Home two is a four bed, three and a half bath masterpiece with over 3,600 square feet of room with a spa and pool as well listed for about $3.4 million.
Both lots are over an acre with scenic views of the lake. One lot costs $750,000, and the other will run you about $895,000 -- a relatively small price to pay if it means you're enjoying the blue waters and umbrella drinks.
The most impressive piece of Hawaiian property sits on a 40-acre Kauapea Road estate owned by the Michelle Hughes Company. Think about this beautiful piece of land. If you have $10 million laying around the house, you'll be able to treat yourself to a home with panoramic views of Hawaii's north shore without obstructions and the famous Mount Makana. Three bedrooms, four bathrooms, a saltwater pool and a heated pool are just the start. If that's not good enough, take a walk on your private trail to Kauapea, one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, which is known to natives as Secret Beach.
The auction of Mali'e Wai and the Villa at Secret Beach will happen at 11 a.m. on October 14. You'll want to be able to stake your claim fast because the auction is open to registered bidders and their representatives. For more information, go to www.MalieWaiAuction.com and www.SecretBeachAuction.com.

WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) - The Weston teenager who tried to burn his ex-girlfriend's home is going to prison.
18-year-old Jacob Rykowski was sentenced by Judge Jill Falstad to several concurrent terms adding up to a total of three years in prison followed by another three years under extended supervision. Along with incarceration, Rykowski must pay restitution totalling $5,101 dollars and not have contact with the victims.
Rykowski could have received 40 years behind bars for his actions. He was charged with arson, burglary, stalking, and criminal damage to property after setting a woodpile on fire inside a shed near a Town of Maine house in November of 2011.

Receptor Mediated Endocytosis
|Receptor mediated endocytosis is a process by which cells internalize
molecules or viruses. As its name implies, it depends on the interaction of that molecule
with a specific binding protein in the cell membrane called a receptor.
Read pages 618-633 and p 640 in your text: Alberts et al, Molecular Biology of the Cell, Garland publishing, N.Y., Third Edition, 1994.
Test yourself!! How much do you know about receptor mediated endocytosis?
List the major types of internalization events?
This figure diagrams the major internalization events. In the two views on the right, receptors are not needed for internalization. During phagocytosis, cells may simply internalize particles or cells, like bacteria (cell eating). In the second, called pinocytosis, cells internalize soluble material (cell drinking). In both types of internalization, the cells extend processes and bring cells or soluble material into the cell in a vacuole. In the presentation on lysosomes , we learned that the vacuole formed in the cell by phagocytosis or pinocytosis often became a lysosome after hydrolases were brought to it and the pH was adjusted. The vacuoles formed are called phagosomes or macropinosomes. This cartoon was taken from Endocytosis, Edited by Ira Pastan and Mark C. Willingham, Plenum Press, N.Y., 1985
Endosomes are formed by receptor-mediated endocytosis. In this case,
cells bring in proteins and other types of ligands attached to the plasma membrane via
receptors. The process depends first on specific binding to the receptor, which is a
subject worthy of a lecture in itself. This figure shows this process as "coated
pit endocytosis". The coated pit is a specialized region of the membrane that is
coated with clathrin (for stability, to aid the transport process). The coated pit forms a
coated vesicle and then loses its clathrin coat. It then joins with other coated pits to
form a receptosome.
Toxins and lectins
Diptheria Toxin
Rous sarcoma virus
Serum transport proteins and antibodies
Hormones and Growth Factors
How does the process work? An overview:
Receptors are brought to the plasma membrane by vesicles from the trans region of the Golgi complex . Review the definition of transmembrane proteins. Where and how are these receptor proteins inserted into the membrane? How does the Golgi complex maintain the fluidity of the plasma membrane , the receptors can move laterally in the membrane and collect in the specialized regions called clathrin coated pits.
Patching and capping
When the ligand binds to its specific receptor, the ligand-receptor complex accumulates
in the coated pits. In many cells, these pits and complexes begin to concentrate in one
area of a cell. Cytochemically, this appears as patches of label on the cell surface (patching)
Eventually, the patches coalesce to form a cap at one pole of the cell (capping).
Not all cells form caps, but most do form patches. Why would this process be an advantage for the cells? Imagine the large amounts of extracellular
fluid that would be taken up if the cells endocytosed the ligand receptor complex all over
its surface. Thus, the pre-concentration process minimizes the amount of fluid that is
taken up in the vesicle.
Recall the studies of membranes and Membrane fluidity . Receptors are moving in the plane of the membrane as long as the temperature is 37 C. In the presentation on Membrane fluidity, we talked about photobleaching with a laser beam. This allows you to study the lateral diffusion coefficients of the ligand-receptor complexes. Fluorescent molecules signal the site of the complexes and they are bleached after the laser exposure. Then, the photobleaching system measures the speed of the recovery in the bleached area (return of the fluorescence) as the label returns by lateral diffusion. This table was taken from Endocytosis, Edited by Ira Pastan and Mark C. Willingham, Plenum Press, N.Y., 1985 An example of some measurements for different receptors is found in this table. The objective of the lateral movement is to collect the ligand-receptor complex in the clathrin coated pits. So, some receptors appear to be moving faster than others. One might speculate that this may be related to size of the receptor or the ligand.
Temperature may affect the binding of the ligand (rate) as well as the lateral mobility of the ligand-receptor complex. Some ligands will not bind well at low temperatures. However, others will bind, but not be taken in. This photograph shows the peroxidase (HRP) detection of a ligand that is distributed on the membrane at 4 C. Note the right hand control panel that shows absence of label in the presence of competing unlabeled ligand. Note the presence of the coated pit, even in the control. So, the formation of these is not temperature dependent. However, after warming for a few minutes, the formation of vesicles and endosomes is evident. It is important to note that Receptor mediated endocytosis is much faster than phagocytosis or pinocytosis. If one were to simply have a non-binding ligand present, it might take hours for the ligand to enter via pinocytosis. Thus, this rapid uptake coupled with the absence of label in the presence of competing ligand is a sign that this is receptor mediated. This figure was taken from Endocytosis, Edited by Ira Pastan and Mark C. Willingham, Plenum Press, N.Y., 1985
Some coated
vesicles may be configured with a deep invagination, called a "neck". These were
discovered by Willingham and Pastan and can be seen in serial sections as a thin region
connection between the outside of the membrane and the vesicle. The vesicle contains
labeled ligand attached to receptor. Formation of these necks is definitely temperature
dependent as can be seen in the following table.
This figure and Table were taken from Endocytosis, Edited by Ira
Pastan and Mark C. Willingham, Plenum Press, N.Y., 1985
Finally, temperature is important to the overall patching and capping
process discussed during the lecture on membranes. There we
showed that, after they are bound, Membrane
Receptors move laterally in the plane and groups of receptor-ligand complexes may
actually coalesce in a patch and eventually in a cap. Antibodies are good examples of
receptors that react this way. This figure shows what happens if the temperature is 4 C.
There is a diffuse labeling. Warming the cells immediately produces patching. This
figure was taken from Endocytosis, Edited by Ira Pastan and Mark C. Willingham,
Plenum Press, N.Y., 1985
Clathrin coats surround the pit as diagrammed in the above cartoon. The assembly of the clathrin molecules on the pit appears to drive the pit to invaginate. This cage-like molecule may help stabilize the vesicle as it buds from the membrane.
Clathrin coated pits may move in the plane of the membrane, however recent studies show that there is an "organized movement" as if the pits are tethered to cytoskeletal elements. The following paper studies coated pits in living cells that were transfected with a plasmid carrying a cDNA for green fluorescent protein (GFP) attached to the light chain of clathrin. Gaidarov I, Santini, F, Warren, RA and Keen, JH Spatial control of coated-pit dynamics in living cells. Nature, Cell Biology 1: 1-7. 1999. The cells made GFP-clathrin and were able to insert the protein into coated pits. This was tested via antibodies to coated pit proteins as well as studies of the endocytosis of transferrin. When time lapse photography was used to learn if the coated pits moved, they found that the pits appeared and disappeared at intervals. Studies of regional spacing showed that appearance of new pits was often close to sites of old pits, suggesting regional organization. Superimposed images showed a linear pattern as if the pits were organized.
The studies showed that the coated pits were resistent to detergents (Triton-X). And, they were able to show that the retraction of cellular processes that followed triton-X treatment produced linear movement of each coated pit in the plasma membrane as if it was organized by or on cytoskeletal elements. See the paper by this group (above citation) for the photographs and movies of these findings.
Formation of Endocytic vesicles.
Once the vesicle has formed, the clathrin coat is lost (perhaps via a chaperone protein of the heat shock protein 70 family). The loss of the coat is an energy requiring process. After the coat is lost, the vesicles join with other vesicles to form endosomes or receptosomes. The following electron micrograph shows clathrin coated pits forming a vesicle. It is taking up lipoprotein particles. Note how thick and well defined the clathrin coat is. This cartoon was taken from Alberts et al, Molecular Biology of the Cell, Garland Publishing, N.Y. 1994, Third Edition
This micrograph was taken from Endocytosis, Edited by Ira Pastan
and Mark C. Willingham, Plenum Press, N.Y., 1985 Return to
Role of adaptin in the transport of the receptor-ligand complex
How do receptors know how to get to the coated pits? Specific coat proteins, which are really a multisubunit complex, called adaptins, trap specific receptors that are destined for the clathrin coated pits. One end binds to a signal sequence in the receptor molecule. The adaptins that work at the cell surface are called Adaptor Protein-2. Consult Figure 13-53 in your text (Alberts et al, Molecular Biology of the Cell, Garland Publishing, N.Y. Third edition, 1994), The signal sequence on the receptor molecule has a tyrosine-X-Arginine-Phenylalanine linkage near the Carboxy terminus. This signal sequence binds to the top of adaptin while the other pole of adaptin binds to clathrin. So, we have a very clever concentrating device that insures that the receptors stay in the coated pit.
Adaptin-receptor binding stimulates the attachment of clathrin. This assembly then quickly drives the formation of the vesicle. The vesicle then buds from the plasma membrane and forms an endocytic vesicle which fuses with other endocytic vesicles to form the early endosome (Rab5-GTP is instrumental in this homotypic fusion of the endocytic vesicles to form endosomes).
The fusion events also use tethering and docking proteins called EEA-1 and Rabaptin-5 which help align the vesicles and bring them close enough together to effect the fusion. A pair of SNARE (v-snares and t-snares) also function in this process. For more information, see the recent mini-review by: Pfeffer, SR Transport vesicle targeting: Tethers before Snares: Nature Cell Biology 1; E17-E22, 1999.
Note: Adaptins can be found in other parts of the cell. For example, review the process of sorting of lysosomal enzymes. This also involves a signal sequence on the enzyme that binds to a mannose 6 phosphate receptor. It also is shunted by a clathrin coated pit that buds from the trans Golgi complex. The above figure shows this diagrammatically. The important thing to know about adaptins is that not all are alike. The adaptins that bind the cytoplasmic tail of plasma membrane receptors are different from those that bind the mannose 6 phosphate receptors found in lysosomes. The latter group recognize a different set of signals unique to those receptors.
Adaptins capture the receptors as they move laterally through the membrane. This
sequesters them in the coated pits. Receptors that do not have the "right" tail
region (signal), or other types of molecules are allowed to pass through. Therefore, in
disease states, where the receptors cannot enter coated pits, one might speculate that
there may be a defect in the tail region (at least).

Inter-regional Wage Dispersion in Portugal
AbstractThis paper examines the size o inter-regional wage dispersion in Portugal. For this purpose, we estimate a Mincer-type human capital wage equation, including controls for a large number of regions, and calculate a weighted and adjusted standard deviation (WASD) of inter-regional wage differentials. The value is high and quite stable over time. The highest wages are found in the region of Lisbon. Moreover, the results are quite sensitive to inclusion of human capital and industry controls. A decomposition analysis reveals that differences in average years of education and in the return to education across regions account for a significant fraction of observed wage differentials.

Roberth R
This was my first trip to Morocco and I was very pleased with the service. I was staying at a hostel near the Alameda Principal and the pickup location for this tour was easy to find as it was within walking distance of the Alameda. (A good focal point to be near for a lot in Malaga, btw.)
Immaculada was a great "pickup liason" and explained everything we would need to know before we even reached the port, including the fact that passport control for Morocco was on the ferry itself.
Karim was a most wonderful guide. I am bilingual Spanish/English so I would switch constantly between the Spanish-speaking half and English-speaking half of our group and enjoyed everything thoroughly. Karim didn't miss a beat and made sure everyone made it out of the souk OK.
Currency exchange is at the ferry terminal, all the meals were great (especially at Chez Ali) and, on long drives between cities, rest stops are taken for one to relieve oneself and refuel thoroughly.
Definitely recommend this tour!
Great to see so much but be prepared to sit in a bus for hours after hours!!!! Never got to visit a mosque because we were always pressed for time but it all worked out just fine.
We were picked up from hotel A/C Malaga Palacios right on time and then bused to Tarifa. The journey took over 2 hrs as we picked up passengers enroute in costa del sol. The ferry left at 11:30 am and we were in Tangier in 45 min's. Morocco is an hour ahead as they follow GMT. We were met by our guide Nabil and driver Arafat. We were 19 tourists on the bus from different countries. We drove directly to Rabat with lunch at Larache. The only issue is that the day becomes very long and you might do well to bring some snacks and water with you.
Then we drove to Casablanca for the night stay. Early next morning, we got a whirlwind tour of Casablanca and then drove to Marrakech. I would suggest that Casablanca can be dropped from the tour.
Lunch was at the hotel which was very late. We did a evening tour of the city and saw the lost tombs and the medina. The visit to the spice market was a total waste. We were hurried by the local guides and would have loved to spend more time watching the snake charmers and other vendors.
That night went to the optional show (chez Ali ), it was raining and the arena was not well lit. Food was excellent and our guide ensured vegetarian options were available for those who wanted. The show with Arabian horses was good.
Next morning was back on the road to Meknes and Fez. Long day on the road with a panoramic tour of Meknes. We were glad to rest that night in Fez. Next morning was tour of the Medina at. Fez with local guides( Kamal) for English group. The guide was very knowledgeable but was steering us towards stores. It became more of a shopping expedition. This tour would have been better if we could have tasted local food at the medina instead we were bused back to the hotel for lunch. That night we attended the optional dinner and show with belly dancers. This was less crowded and there was more audience participation. Food was great and once again, our guide ensured vegetarian food was made available.
Last day was very long.
I enjoyed visiting all the towns. Fez and marrakesh were my favorites. I was not aware that the distances between towns was so huge. Each day we spent a huge proportion of time on the bus. Our guide gave the barest amount of information. He was lazy and slept on bus. The hotels in three star were fairly ordinary, the best one being in fez. Many Canadians and Americans and Australians were bitterly disappointed in the time spent on the bus. I was not as critical because i felt it was a budget tour, and it was certainly only that.
One day we went six hours without a toilet stop. We had to instruct the driver we wanted to stop at gas stations, to buy drinks and use the toilets. We did not see anything in Casablanca, tangiers, and meknes.
The ferry is good but the access with heavy suitcases is bad, many steps to reach boat. Huge queues to have passport looked at on boat, going into morocco. Not told to bring some food with us onto ferry. Other tour operators had the hotel make up picnic packages, because we left without breakfast that day.
We enjoyed our trip to Morocco. There were a lot of places to see. The people were friendly. The weather was nice. Our tour guide was very nice and helpful. He answered all our questions.
This was a great tour, which could be significantly improved by providing Moroccian food options on the included meals, rather than very poor western style food (our first lunch in Morocco - extremely disappointing!)
Excellent tour - all the sights and sounds of Morocco. Only complaint is Hotel Sofia in Fez was really appalling, not even 1 star standard and in terrible location.
The 5 day tours does require quite a bit of travel to cover the mileage, but there were a couple of days we went 8 hours before we had a meal break. Maybe a heads up would be good so people can prepare by bringing snacks. We didn't know there would be no meal break until 3 o'clock on the first day, and we were the first to be picked up at 7 am. The hotel's restaurant (AC Marriott) didn't open until 7:30, so we didn't eat for some time. If either of us were diabetic, this would have been problematic. We also had some difficulty understanding our guide due to the bus audio system and not knowing when our guide switched to English. Maybe if he announced the language before starting, we'd have recognized when he'd start. Despite, these mild complaints, we did enjoy the tour.
The overall experience of being in Morocco was amazing! However, i am sorry to say that the tour left a lot to be desired, primarily due to the fact that it was conducted in Spanish (when I signed up for an English tour :(. Of the 29 of us on the tour, 24 were native Spanish speakers. The 5 of us wishing to have detailed commentary, or even explanations of our agenda in English, were very much "in the dark" throughout the tour. The tour guide spoke poor English and would throw in half of a complete thought or phrase in English every several minutes after his Spanish commentary. This is an extremely critical point to review with the tour operator before signing up other English-speaking clientele for this tour.
I have traveled extensively and got the basics in Spanish, fortunately. The other really off-putting experience was in Marrakech where we spent a full 2 hours listening to a sales pitch in a pharmacy, observing our guide receiving his "kickback" following the group's purchases. Time wasted and offensive...I was also very disappointed by the transfer assistant who picked us up at the hotel, did not announce her name, nor the plan for the morning until nearly 2 hours into the trip toward the port and multiple hotel pickups later. Strange!
All that said, the local guides and the optional shows made the trip worthwhile. We all agreed that the amount of moving around was excessive, so perhaps reducing the trip to Marrakech, Fes and Casblanca would be a more manageable, pleasant flow.
Despite my constructive commentary, I would consider future bookings through Viator due to the ease of the process. I would only ask that you provide more historic knowledge to your team so that they may fully educate customers on the reality of what each tour offers, rather than simply the high-level points that can be found online.
Thank you!
They could make this tour much better with some small changes. I felt like we spent a lot of time traveling and missed the essence. For example, we spent only about hour or so in Casablanca. We were taken to the outside of a really spectacular mosque, but there was no time to go inside. Then we had a short stroll along the beach area. In Marrakesh, we had a local guide who was useless. We were taken to the souk but he guided us to a shop selling creams, perfumes, spices etc, and we spent over an hour there. No time to see/shop for anything else. The worst was Fez. The local guide was knowledgeable. But, in addition to walking through the medieval city all we did was visit 4 overpriced stores. It would have been so nice to have some free time to shop at stores of our own choosing. It looks like the guides make money from commissions from certain stores, so that is where they ensure you spend your time. And the meals at the restaurants left a lot to be desired. Spaghetti and the same soup. No choice at all, and no Moroccan food.
Local tour operator is not doing the right thing. The bus was full to capacity and this is not good for five hr coach trips.. I preferred to sit at the back of the bus because more space, but the heat from the engines was enormous. More than ten degrees higher than the rest of the bus, and could not hear audio system. Guide spoke more in Spanish than English, because he was better at that language. The hotel in Casablanca was awful. They did get better in marrakech and fez. I paid three star and apparently the last two hotels were better than the four star ones. The evening show in Marrakech was awesome. Expensive but much better than expected. Even the food was good and wine and beer included.
Overall i had a great time, but a lot of our group were seriously disappointed. I knew i had pd budget and didnt have high expectations. Glad i did it. Noddy
Tour started very badly! We called the tour operator 2 days before to confirm passport details and check that we would be picked up from our hotel, BUT, we were left stranded, waiting outside the hotel for over an hour the first morning. After 30 mins our hotel staff dialled the emergency no. for our trip, but there was no answer and the office was closed. After calling the other hotel, he was able to contact the driver who said the group had almost arrived at the port where we were meant to catch a ferry. Later, the tour guide said that we were on the list to be picked up with the others, and as we didn't show, they left without us. This caused much stress and anxiety- a bad impression before the tour even started. I cannot believe that the details of our hotel were not correct after I specifically asked for an English speaking member of staff at the tour office, reinforcing the fact that we were staying at our hotel specifically for the tour. She assured me this was all correct. When, on the day, we were not present at the other hotel, would the staff not have made a call to check on us?? They could have called the main number, our phone number, or our hotel, but NOT EVEN ONE call was made! This gives us both a total lack of credibility in the tour office. The same happened at the end oft the trip too! Very little English commentary was made between the guides on the tour and the 4 of us, English speaking tour members. As most of the group were Spanish speaking, most of the information and commentaries were mainly in Spanish with not as much English, and we were left wondering. The tour itself involved much time on the road, and the hotels were not 3 star standard, as claimed. The food at dinner was good, but always disorganised and late at night eg 9pm. Breakfast was not good, always the same and very limited. We were left very disappointed.

SAN LUIS, Ariz. (AP) - Border Patrol agents caught a group of Guatemalans who illegally crossed the U.S.-Mexico border on one side of San Luis and a group of Romanians on the other.
Yuma Sector spokesman Douglas Choi says the groups separately crossed the border in southwestern Arizona on Thursday.
He says the four Guatemalans got over the three-fence barrier on the east side of San Luis, probably using ladders provided by smugglers.
According to Choi, the five Romanians crossed the border through the bed of the Colorado River on the west side of San Luis.
Choi says Mexican nationals still account for large numbers of illegal crossings in the Yuma Sector but that there's also a stream of people from other places, including Central America, South America, India and Romania.

BATON ROUGE - If you choose to pay someone to prepare your tax return, be selective about whom you hire. Remember that you are legally responsible for the information on your tax return even if it is prepared by someone else, so it is important to select a qualified tax professional.
There are several characteristics to look for when hiring someone to prepare your taxes.
Reputable tax preparers will ask a number of questions to determine the validity of expenses and deductions. They will remind clients to keep careful and complete records in order to substantiate information on the tax return. They will sign all returns that they prepare, and will include their identification information on the return. They will provide clients with copies of completed returns for their records. And they will respond to clients' requests for information within a reasonable period of time.
Try to find a preparer who you are certain will be available to answer questions after your return is filed. Determine what the preparer's service fees are before the return is prepared. Avoid tax preparers who base their fees on a percentage of the amount of your refund. Be skeptical of preparers who claim they can obtain larger refunds than other preparers. Review your return and ask questions before signing it.
Other helpful tips for working with a tax preparer include:
Ask a prospective tax preparer for professional referencesConduct a background check with the Better Business Bureau, the state licensing board for CPAs, or the state bar association for attorneysAlways ask question about entries on your return that you don't understandInsist that the preparer sign the return and provide appropriate taxpayer informationMake sure that the IRS has not prohibited the preparer from preparing federal tax returnsFind out if the preparer belongs to a professional organization that requires continuing education and holds its members accountable to a code of ethicsNEVER SIGN A BLANK TAX RETURN
If you suspect that a tax preparer is preparing fraudulent returns, call the LDR Criminal Investigation Division's Tax Fraud Hotline at 1-866-940-7053.
