Berry United Methodist Church will host a Summer Fair on June 26 at 5 p.m. Come for an outdoor fun filled evening of sun and fellowship, including free hot dogs, snow cones, popcorn and cotton candy. There will also be an inflatable slide and face painting for the kids.
All are welcome.
For more information call Earl Gross at 859-707-0038 or Barbra Fryman at 859-588-4424.
Connnersville Christian Church, 2190 Ky. Hwy. 1842 E., will accept shoes through June 24.
My grandfather sold insurance by day and in his spare time he was an artist.
He mostly painted clowns -- scary clowns.
A few of his paintings hung in our house, which meant as a kid I had major heebie jeebies nearly all the time, especially at night.
When you're a kid getting up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and you know scary clowns are staring at you from the walls in the hallway, well, you grow up neurotic and afraid.
I can hardly believe how beautiful my tomato plants look and I do believe I will have a ripe one well before July 4th!
But what I am really anticipating is our first harvest of summer squash. I love squash and am happy to eat it for dinner every night.
Last year the garden was mostly a bust so I have high hopes for a bumper squash crop this year.
Mostly gardeners complain about losing their plants to the squash vine borer, but I have managed to offset that pest pressure by delaying planting in order to miss peak egg-laying time.

A robotics researcher I know through Twitter forwarded this link to me and asked if anyone on LMR had worked with electromyography (EMG) for controlling robots. This looks pretty interesting and seems approachable for a hobby robotics budget and complexity.
The website shows videos of EMG control over motors and servos.
Err. Does anyone have a telepresence robot they could lend to a good cause for a few days?
Oh, and it needs to get to NYC by Saturday. Yes, this Saturday.
No? Oh, well. Worth asking.
Heahter Knight, all around amazing human, robot expert and one of the key organizers of the first ever Robot Film Fest just sent out a tweet asking to borrow a telepresence robot for this Saturday at the fest.
Man I would love to go to that event. I would love even more to show up and help deliver something for the event.
OK, OK. Longshot.

I was asked to bring Blind Lemon along to appear with me on Make: Live this coming Wednesday. Poor BL had been sitting in a box, and was a bit worse for wear from my kids playing with him.
Curtis Boirum, a grad student at Bradley University, in Peoria, came up with this unique drive system using a motor spinning a hemispherical pad on a two-axis gymbol. Check it out. It is pretty amazing and may be something worth experimenting with.
Last year there were several LMR members who went to the European Campus Party. This year, I haven't heard a thing.
No plans?
This one is basically anything to do with USB, which is pretty easy to qualify for.

This could be a good one. I can't help but think of MarkusB's creations. Or maybe Frits would like to post something about his hexacopter plans.

We report the detailed numerical investigation of stress-induced material birefringence in polymer rib waveguide for the design of nonbirefringent waveguide devices. To accurately simulate the stress-induced effects we propose a more realistic model in the finite element analysis which considers the stresses induced over the entire sequential fabrication process. It is observed that the birefringence is nonuniform, and it is different for different etch depth and core width. The maximum birefringence in the core layer is observed near the lower cladding which decreases to zero toward the top surface. The influence of this material anisotropy on the modal birefringence is analyzed also for different rib structures. We found the stress effects on the modal birefringence to be largely affected by etch depth, while core width has small effect. It is also found that the deeply etched core has better birefringence stability. Finally, an accurate design of the zero-birefringence waveguide is illustrated by taking the stress effects into account, and the results are compared with experimental data. Excellent agreement between calculated and experimental results confirms the potential application of this work to aid in the design of polarization-insensitive waveguide devices.

I think the answer is an admin login and then check if the user has an admin flag, but I also thought of some other related questions.
Is it better to have an admin flag (attr_protected) in the same user table as non admins? or should i have an admin users table?
Should I create a separate rails application for the admin users? This might be overkill since they will both have to access the same datbase (not to mention it might be a huge pain to set up).
Any other suggestions? Right now I just need to secure a page or two so I even looked into HTTP basic or digest authentication as a temporary measure (the protected content is actually not THAT private/important). But... I don't know how to implement HTTP auth for specific actions, I have only seen how to implement it to prevent directory access.
Any direction and discussion would be great. I am sure other Stack Overflow users will benefit from this discussion.

Daily breaking news and news the liberal media doesn't want you to know, won't report, or just daily news issues.
Americans for many years have had to rely on left leaning biased news reporting from liberal media such as NBC, ABC, and CBS and the New York Times. As most of these outlets struggle to remain on the air and in print, the new media is flourishing and people are hearing both sides of the issues. This forum will provide people with a place to discuss daily news issues of any kind or discuss articles not printed or aired by the liberal news outlets.

Stinky, Tom Steyer (ex Goldman Sacs) and Soros also want you to go backwards but in their own way.
Tom in particular wants you to go back to the good old days while he lives in Billionaire digs. He claims to want to clean up the environment but still is heavily invested in Coal.
He and Soros want things to be the way they want it. No different then the Kochs.
You are the pot calling the kettle black.

exerpt from an article on the Washington Post Site:
"Meanwhile, Guevara acknowledged that she pronounced Scalia dead by phone, without seeing his body. Instead, she spoke to law enforcement officials at the scene — who assured her "there were no signs of foul play" — and Scalia's physician in Washington, who said that the 79-year-old justice suffered from a host of chronic conditions.
As late as Sunday afternoon, for example, there were conflicting reports about whether an autopsy should have been performed. A manager at the El Paso funeral home where Scalia's body was taken said that his family made it clear they did not want one."
NCN...i thought it odd as well...however....tin foil hats to the speculation party can be ordered if needed.

Mod, i prefer the bush as well just not in family. nonetheless, in an article by CNN money, Joe has raised some eyebrows with his favorable reporting of Trump and his friendship from way back. in addition, he has spoken with Trump giving him advice regarding his debate performances. while you may be correct in your premise, i think the article may indicate a shift away from Bush to Trump. i await correction.

Joe Scarborough loves him some Trump. it is reported to be very troubling to the brass at NBC. it appears that the memo regarding diversity did not have a complete review by all staff. NBC does have its image to uphold even if the image is paper-thin. i think it is great for Trump to have someone that will advise him honestly and for the right reasons. Joe sees a problem with this country and has been edging the left as gingerly toward to the truth as much as possible. my latest guilty pleasure has been watching MSNBC. Chris Matthews and Chuck Todd on "Meet the Press" in particular.

We have a C# ASP.NET 3.5 project with VS 2008.
We also have a VB6 DLL that we call via Interop (yuck...I know).
We use a Web Deployment project with MsBuild and run a batch file to build the project on a build machine.
My question is:
Is there a way to modify the MSBuild project to have the VB6 DLL and interop files created and moved to the proper folders as a part of the build process?
Currently we have to manually build the VB6 DLL and interop file and move them to the appropriate folders first then run the MSBuild batch file.
Any ideas?

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Chemical filter media is often under-utilized by aquarists. However, chemical media is an important part of aquarium filtration. It improves water quality by effectively removing toxic or unwanted chemicals from the water. There is a variety of chemical filter media ranging from those that remove specific pollutants to multi-functional media that remove multiple pollutants. Simply supplementing with chemical filter media can significantly enhance existing filter performance.
Activated carbon is an excellent choice.
The amount of
food you feed also plays a role in filter efficiency. For instance, if you constantly overfeed your fish, your aquarium will require more filtration to remove uneaten food as well as fish waste. Maintain fish health and filter performance by
feeding only the recommended amount of fish food and promptly removing any uneaten food.

Welcome to Calabria
If a Vespa-riding, siesta-loving, chaotically unadorned version of Italy still exists, you'll probably find it in Calabria, the 'toe' that kicks Sicily into the Tyrrhenian Sea. Scarred by recurrent earthquakes and lacking a Matera or Lecce to give it high-flying tourist status, this is a land of throwbacks and traditions, sheltered by craggy mountains and burdened with a long history of poverty, Mafia activity and...

RiverVoyages.com, part of World Travel Holdings UK, has reported a 400% increase in trading so far this month, compared with the same period last year.
The river cruise specialist's director James Cole attributes the increase to increased customer choice of destinations, more competitive pricing and a substantial investment by the company into online marketing.
He said: "We have seen a huge upsurge in web traffic over the past few months for searches on river cruise related terms.
"This mode of cruise offers a special insight into a destination, viewing landmarks from a totally different perspective as well as enjoying a completely hassle-free trip.
"We see river cruising growing even further in popularity this year, as both seasoned cruisers and holidaymakers new to cruising look to enjoy this exciting travel experience."
According to the Association of Cruise Experts (ACE), approximately 80,000 people a year book a river cruise, making river cruising one of the fastest growing cruise sectors.
ACE director, Andy Harmer, said he also expects to see "increased market demand for European rivers in 2013, including the Danube and The Rhine."

Oil Refinery Proposed Near Theodore Roosevelt National Park Gets Necessary Zoning
Jul 7th - 09:08am | Kurt Repanshek
John, the plant site is 3 miles east of the park entrance. NPCA has not specifically identified other locations in the state where an oil refinery would be suitable -- they have said they don't flatly oppose a new refinery, just the proposed siting of this one -- though that's not their responsibility, either.
Jul 7th - 08:55am | JohnBick
The location is variously described as "several miles form," "near" and "next to" the park. How close/far is it, exactly? Five miles, or fifty? It makes a difference. Clearly there is already industrial activity going on at the site if there is an existing rail loading facility. So while a refinery would add to the potential for problems, it would not be desecrating virgin soil.

Its also possible to camp/hike across the island either the short or long route. You'll carry all your gear on your back. When you land at one of the drop-off/pick/up docks you'll tell the captain when and where you wish to be met by the boaT. You better be on time because if you miss the boat it won't be back around for 2-3 days! A beautiful hike for backpackers!

I think Congressman, Paul Cook (R-CA) is getting a bad rap being lumped into a nefarious group including Reps.

Wonderful news. Jerry was a mentor to many of us in Yellowstone. He was a ranger's ranger. This is one book I'll have to buy. Jerry's too young passing after a battle with Parkinson's was a tragedy that I'm sure was felt by a lot of people. It's great to think he will live on through his book.

Judy - Please don't take the sour grapes personal opinion of one chronic complainer that there is no maintenance backlog as an axiomatic fact. There is an extensive maintenance backlog coast to coast, and congresscritters keep medling with the budget to their own advantage, and to the NPS' disadvantage.
Jul 5th - 16:21pm | rmackie
I believe you are correct, the NEPA process requires public input and the gathering of the best information available, but once the process is completed, management makes the decision. You cannot sue on the decision in NEPA, only the process, at least that is my understanding. I would be opposed to charging hiking/backpacking fees, but feel charging for the reservations is reasonable.

Delaware North Companies Sues United States Over Loss Of Yosemite National Park Contract
Jul 5th - 20:36pm | rmackie
I agree EC, on the issue of railroads, I think they made some significant contributions to our first National Parks, the nation as whole for that matter. I know the President of the Southern Pacific was extremely instrumental in getting the California State Senate to cede the Yosemite Valley/Mariposa Grove grant to the Federal Government (do I have that right Alfred?).
Jul 5th - 19:38pm | ecbuck
Matt - while there are many areas where those private companies can do a better job than public ones - concessions, hotels, et al. I don't think the primary mission - preservation - would be well served by the profit motive.
Jul 5th - 19:26pm | Matt1974
I think the NPS does such a poor job managing our public land that it should lose the privilege of managing them. I think the DNC, Xanterra or Aramark should be sub-contracted to run all Park operations. The NPS has already ruined Yosemite and Yellowstone. The accountability required by the Private-sector far surpasses the complacency and ineptitude of the Public-sector.

Too Many Retirements Impacting National Park Service Law Enforcement Ranks
Jul 4th - 20:49pm | rmackie
Thank you Mr. James Longstreet. I agree, "no net loss" is a bad policy, you lay it out nicely. I retired after 37 years as a NPS Ranger, LE/Fire. Still occasionally get employed as an emergency hire for fire operations. In Yosemite National Park, I worked for 10 superintendents, all were ethical and qualified for their positions., I was closer to some than others, but that is human.
Jul 4th - 17:43pm | Retired Ethical...
While there are a lot of Rangers retiring, this is but one element of a crisis caused mostly by both poor management and inadequate attention by Congress. The NPS always seems to have higher priorities than its LE field personnel, or to its committments such as "No Net Loss". This includes maintaining a top-heavy organizational structure in which many manage

Jul 4th - 16:00pm | Alfred Runte
Again, good points from both of you. Then how are we to know, as Lee puts it, exactly "what they are really doing?" The late Garrett Hardin suggested we look at the adjectives, in short, how adjectives are applied to establish a taboo. His favorite phrase, not actually an adjective, was "You can't fight City Hall." Of course you can and you must.
Jul 4th - 15:22pm | Lee Dalton
Agreed, Alfred, with a couple of corrections. It's not only Democrats. It's all of them regardless of party. It's not only the president nor current Secretary of Interior. It's all of them, regardless of party. Somehow, we have to find a way to teach voters to look beyond the propaganda spewed by both parties and learn what they are REALLY doing.
Jul 4th - 14:18pm | ecbuck
Alfred, you may not have voted for Obama and his co-conspirators but more people did than voted for the other guy. The result is not the fault of GE or any other corporation, its the fault of those that voted these globalists, entitlement driven, we know what good for you people in.

As you argue, "the only things" wealthy individuals and corporations are "entitled to is what they have earned." How did they "earn" that right? The truth is: They didn't earn it; President Obama gave it to them, along with Interior Secretaries Salazar and Jewell.

Well Lee I see we have crickets on your accusation. I guess we can rack that up to another of your baseless accusations.

I have to agree with our Esteemed Comrade. He is completely correct when he talks about the entitlement mentality of our corporations and wealthy individuals. And while corporations don't vote directly for legislators, they certainly do vote with campaign dollars and other contributions. Those people sure do get what they vote for -- or manage to purchase.

Ranger Of The Lost Art: National Park History Preserved In Historic Posters
Jul 4th - 16:45pm | Alfred Runte
Looking at these gorgeous posters, we are reminded of what the Park Service could have done for its centennial, especially to renew the agency's commitment to "interpretive" services. Hats off to Doug Leen for this remarkable contribution to history and historic preservation. Fortunately, the images I emphasize, produced by America's railroads, were printed in larger runs. All survive.
Photography In The National Parks: From Banff National Park To The Border Of Jasper National Park - An Armchair Photographer's Guide Part 1
Jul 4th - 08:00am | Leo de Groot
One thing to note about a pass to a Canadian National Park is that it gives you access for those days to all the Nations Parks in the country. The pass you purchased going onto the Ice fields Parkway was thus good for both Banff and Jasper Parks (as well as for the adjoining You and Kootenay Parks if you had wished) rather than for one particular park only.

So you want to intercept Internet traffic? If the National Security Agency is too busy to help out, you could always exploit a weakness in the Border Gateway Protocol that was demonstrated at the DEFCON security conference earlier this month.
As explained by Wired's Kim Zetter, it's possible to conduct a man-in-the-middle attack that exploits the shortcomings of BGP to cause a router to redirect network traffic.
To understand the impact of such redirection, rewind to February, when Pakistan's attempt to censor YouTube caused collateral damage to Internet traffic routing that spread to PCCW, an ISP based in Hong Kong, and from there to other servers across the globe. The result was that YouTube was inaccessible around the world.
However, this kind of traffic redirection can be done without breaking anything. The technique demonstrated by Anton Kapela, data center and network director at 5Nines Data, and Alex Pilosov, CEO of Pilosoft, could be done discreetly, without creating a major outage that everyone would notice.
As Kapela explained in a message sent to the North American Network Operators Group mailing list, "In a nutshell, we demonstrated that current lack of secure filtering infrastructure not only permits [denial of service]-like attacks, but also full 'traffic monitoring' of arbitrary prefixes from essentially anywhere in the world."
In a blog post, Danny McPherson, chief research officer at Arbor Networks, wrote, "[Y]ou could liken this to a poor man's traffic intercept." Most governments and intelligence agencies, he suggested, don't need to do this because they can intercept network traffic at a lower-level network layer.
Viewed in conjunction with the DNS vulnerability that security researcher Dan Kaminsky disclosed at the Black Hat conference earlier this month, the Internet's core infrastructure looks about as watertight as a screen door.
This isn't a new problem. Government and academic networking researchers have known about this and related issues for years. Sites like the Internet Alert Registry and the Prefix Hijack Alert System represent an attempt to identify potential attempts to hijack Internet traffic. And projects like Secure Inter-Domain Routing and Resource PKI offer potential fixes.
In February, when Pakistan brought renewed attention to the issue, Steve Bellovin, a Columbia University computer science professor, posted a message to the NANOG list in which he observed that the Internet technical community has been warning about routing problems like this. He called for deployment of S-BGP, a more secure version of the routing protocol, despite deployment and operational issues that still need to be resolved.
"The question is this: when is the pain from routing incidents great enough that we're forced to act?" Bellovin wrote. "It would have been nice to have done something before this, since now all the world's script kiddies have seen what can be done."
McPherson sees information presented by Kapela and Pilosoft more as the novel expansion of a longstanding vulnerability rather than the revelation of a major hole in the Internet. But he said that renewed attention to BGP's problems "should serve as a reminder for folks that if you have any expectations of transaction privacy on the Internet, you should be employing end-end encryption (e.g., IPSEC)."
Managing risk is the top security issue facing IT professionals, according to the 2008 InformationWeek Strategic Security Survey. The survey of 2,000 IT professionals also found that IT is years behind other disciplines in adopting systematic risk management processes. You can learn more about the InformationWeek Strategic Security Survey by downloading an InformationWeek Analytics report here (registration required).
The cybersecurity profession struggles to retain women (figures range from 10 to 20 percent). It's particularly worrisome for an industry with a rapidly growing number of vacant positions.
So why does the shortage of women continue to be worse in security than in other IT sectors? How can men in infosec be better allies for women; and how can women be better allies for one another? What is the industry doing to fix the problem -- what's working, and what isn't?
Is this really a problem at all? Are the low numbers simply an indication that women do not want to be in cybersecurity, and is it possible that more women will never want to be in cybersecurity? How many women would we need to see in the industry to declare success?
Join Dark Reading senior editor Sara Peters and guests Angela Knox of Cloudmark, Barrett Sellers of Arbor Networks, Regina Wallace-Jones of Facebook, Steve Christey Coley of MITRE, and Chris Roosenraad of M3AAWG on Wednesday, July 13 at 1 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss all this and more.

Dougie's Friday mailbag
Fans ask Dougie questions about Sergey Kovalev's rise to prominence, hall of famer Joe Gans, the hold-up in big heavyweight fights being made, and much more in this week's Friday mailbag.
Fans ask Dougie questions about Sergey Kovalev's rise to prominence, hall of famer Joe Gans, the hold-up in big heavyweight fights being made, and much more in this week's Friday mailbag.
Jean Pascal continued to state that Sergey Kovalev, who he faces on Saturday in a rematch, has racist tendencies at the final presser in Montreal on Wednesday.
On Jan. 30, IBF/WBA/WBO light heavyweight titlist Sergey Kovalev isn't just predicting a win over Jean Pascal; He's promising the end of Pascal's career.
Jean Pascal discusses his Jan. 30 rematch with Sergey Kovalev at new trainer Freddie Roach's Wild Card gym. Roach expects "huge improvement" from Pascal.
Sergey Kovalev's manager believes the unified light heavyweight king will stop Jean Pascal in fewer rounds in their Jan. 30 rematch than he did in their first bout.
Main Events and InterBox have announced a quality undercard for the Sergey Kovalev-Jean Pascal rematch that takes place on Jan. 30 at Bell Centre in Montreal.
On Jan. 30, unbeaten welterweight Dmitry Mikhaylenko will face Ray Robinson in HBO's televised support bout to Sergey Kovalev-Jean Pascal II.
Andre Ward is slated to return on March 26 but the identity of the tune-up foe remains a mystery, frustrating impatient fans. The former 168-pound champ aired his own frustrations on Twitter recently.
Kathy Duva says "Sergey's record speaks for itself," in response Max Kellerman's comments that Gennady Golovkin is better than Sergey Kovalev.
RingTV.com interviewed WBC light heavyweight titleholder Adonis Stevenson about criticism and if a showdown with Sergey Kovalev can happen in 2016.
Can 175-pound titlist Sergey Kovalev focus on his upcoming rematch with former RING champion Jean Pascal when Adonis Stevenson looms nearby?
Sergey Kovalev discussed his new deals with Main Events and HBO, and an eventual showdown with Andre Ward during a media round table in Las Vegas.
Although in their primes, it seems former RING super middleweight champ Andre Ward is averse to a bout with 175-pound titlist Sergey Kovalev. But why?
Fans share their thoughts on Bradley-Rios, Cotto-Canelo, Ronda Rousey on the cover of RING, Sergey Kovalev, Ray Mancini, upcoming heavyweight fights, mythical matchups and more in this week's Friday mailbag.
Sergey Kovalev-Jean Pascal isn't quite official just yet…but we're getting there slowly but surely.
Former WBO light heavyweight titlist Nathan Cleverly is approaching one of his most dangerous opponents, Andrzej Fonfara, with real confidence.
Isaac Chilemba faces Eleider Alvarez for the right to challenge RING/WBC champ Adonis Stevenson, and Sullivan Barrera takes on Artur Beterbiev in an eliminator for IBF/WBO/WBA titleholder Sergey Kovalev.
In this week's Monday mailbag fans share their thoughts on Golden Boy Promotions' future dealings with PBC fighters, the prospects in action this past weekend, the Cotto-Canelo-GGG triangle and much more.
Despite Kathy Duva wanting to see Sergey Kovalev defend his 175-pound titles against Artur Beterbiev, promoter Yvon Michel is saying no…for now.
Sergey Kovalev delivers another brutal knockout against Nadjib Mohammedi on Saturday in Las Vegas and has us wanting more.

We are so sorry for the confusion and upset that this situation caused you. It is not the case that there was a deliberate attempt to mislead you and we did eventually manage to obtain the cabin you had requested but we are aware that, by then, you felt that you did not feel able to go ahead with the reservation. We know that you have travelled with us previously and that this is not a representation of the normal levels of service we provide and we do hope that, in the fullness of time, you will change your mind about booking with us again.

Thank you Titan. The Trip (Golden West) was great. Our driver was the best. He is also a qualified tour guide. Why not let him run the trip ?

We booked to go to Canada a year ago, 4 days ago received a phone call to say holiday has been cancelled just 3 months prior to departure. Have been offered week prior to the booked one but work will not accommodate changes. My daughter has booked A/L to accommodates child care as I look after my granddaughter while she is at work, so another problem and means dates need to remain the same. Was to be the holiday of a dream. I think it fair to say we are very annoyed, extremely disappointed… Read Full Review

Thank you for your review, we are so sorry that your tour was cancelled and understand the disappointment that this must have cause - please be assured such decisions are not taken lightly. Our booking conditions clearly state that, as in this instance, such situations may occasionally occur. Unfortunately however, as we are unable to identify you without a booking reference, this makes it difficult for us to look into in further detail. We would however like to sincerely apologise once again for any inconvenience this has caused. Best Regards, Titan.

Christmas / New year tour 2015/16 Southern Sights & Sounds. Overall the tour was well organised & enjoyable. Included was a New Years Eve meal & Jazz band on a Mississippi River Paddle Steamer - The Natchez. The Titan Group was put in a downstairs area with no entertainment and a limited menu. After complaining, once we'd finished the meal we were eventually 'invited' upstairs to join everyone else where there were insufficient tables & chairs for the group and the band was on a rest break (so… Read Full Review

CHRISTMAS IN AUSTRALIA Turned into Christmas in Hell. Hotel at Ayres Rock obviously double booked, Our Titan Group ended up having a self service lunch in what can only be described as a Breakfast Bar. Just a Christmas cracker on a bare Formica type canteen table. The outdoor meal arranged while viewing the sun setting on Ayres Rock was a complete disaster, we ended up completely meal less as the local bugs had beaten us to it, the evening concluded rather suddenly with a torrential downpour… Read Full Review

Just returned from Titan's Christmas in the Dolomites. The VIP home departure service was excellent, fast and smooth with no problems. The tour was generally well organised visiting some beautiful places including Vipetano, Moena, Bolzano and Merano. The Christmas Eve visit to Innsbruck was very enjoyable and the local guide was very knowledgeable with a great sense of humour. Even though some of the shops closed mid afternoon this did not matter as the guided tour was scheduled at the… Read Full Review

From the moment we could not get the room type to being ordered off the coach in freezing weather while the driver made phone calls,this tour was like a poor version of fawlty towers. Arriving in towns that were closed or finding that a city closed at 2pm,told that the drive from the airport would be 2.5 hours when it was near 5 hours. Any who were unwell or just fed up were made to wait for up to an hour as the coach was never available until five minutes before leaving. I could go on but… Read Full Review

This was generally an enjoyable trip, although I can not recommend it to everyone. The places visited were lovely, everything ran smoothly, but there's no escape from the fact that most Titan customers are getting on a bit. On this trip, the group were rather too inclined to stay close to the tour manager, and after a few days, they seemed like primary school kids on a day out in unfamiliar surroundings. This was irritating, especially as the otherwise competent tour manager tended to pander to… Read Full Review
