Comments about Expedition Drop-Bottom Rolling Duffel - Large:
I ordered it because I wanted a duffel that would stand up on its wheels. The stand was so crooked there was no chance of that happening. I wish I had taken a photo before returning.
Comments about Expedition Drop-Bottom Rolling Duffel - Large:
I've mainly used this luggage when I go on a ski trip - atleast 4 times over the last 2 years...fits my boots on the bottom part and some other clothes there too...and the top part is where the rest go. no problems of this piece of luggage...no busted zippers/wheels yet.
heck it even has gone to Europe twice over the last 7 years...very hapy

In all the ways that matter most, the case for Roger Federer as the greatest tennis player ever is quite powerful -- a record 15 major singles titles, a career sweep of all four and this year he'll likely finish ranked No. 1 for the fifth time in the past six years. All this by the age of 28.
But greatness assumes many forms. Here is a question tennis aficionados like to pose: Who would you have play for your life? If the fate of the planet hung in the balance, if Satan held the keys to the kingdom, if all the chips were on the table, which tennis player would you want stepping in the arena?
Federer? Certainly not the man who melted -- virtually vanishing off the court -- in the fifth set of the Australian Open and U.S. Open finals earlier this year.
What's wanted in this ultimate match is a warrior of the highest caliber, a competitor who will be counted on to summon up every last physical, mental and emotional resource. This designate must drag the opponent through a battle so rough and tumble that no one will ever forget what took place. Even if the terms are changed -- an extra set, shifts in wind, sun and temperature -- this warrior will continue to bear down. Even if the planet is lost, the effort will have been tooth-and-nail. We lost, but we gave everything.
Here are the top five players, as tenacious as they come, I'd want playing for my life:
5. Monica Seles
As a child she was once playing a match when the umpire announced it was over. Said Seles, "Who won?" Here was someone utterly immersed in the moment. Seles' feet moved like pistons as she threw herself time and time again into her bazooka-like groundstrokes. Her intensity was off the charts. Best of all, her courage was relentless. Never did Seles back off; instead she was thoroughly committed to going for her shots. Per Billie Jean King, the ball doesn't know what the score is. It's just sitting there to be hit.
4. Rafael Nadal
If the fates decree the match of matches must be played on clay, surely Nadal must be the representative. The monkey wrench in the Federer Empire, Nadal's engagement, desire and hunger for competition is exemplary. Like Connors, he concedes nothing. Nadal's eyes, his movements, tenacity and imagination are everything you'd want in a competitor.
3. Billie Jean King
So much is made of King's off-court significance that it's easy to forget what made her such a great player. But remember, she was the delegate for an entire gender when she took on Bobby Riggs and handily beat him in straight sets. King likes to say, "I play the ball." But it takes a keen student and a superb athlete to recognize what the ball is saying and constantly make the right decisions about what to do with it. Against Riggs, for example, King adroitly altered her game plan with all the dexterity of a quarterback. But that was but one of hundreds of matches where King was able to bear down, probe and thrust, and conduct business with a long-term view at once gritty and aggressive.
2. Jimmy Connors
Across 20 years, Connors lived for the big occasion, throwing himself into his matches like a caged lion. Though Connors liked to say he never changed his game for any opponent, the truth is Connors was committed to giving his heart and soul to every point. But don't think he was tactically rigid. Like a shark sensing blood, Connors could smell a weakness -- and then drill away at it like a dentist whittling away a cavity. If it was impossible to watch Connors casually, it was even more implicating to take him on and sense everything from his churning feet to his over-the-top scowl. And make no mistake, he was as gladiatorial as they come, inspiring opponents to dig exceptionally deep. Consider: In each of the seven Grand Slam finals Connors lost, the victor played one of the best and most defining matches of his career. Surely Lucifer must play this well, too, if he's to take over Earth.
1. Pancho Gonzales
The serve is the most important shot in tennis. On a par with Pete Sampras' serve, the Gonzales delivery was smooth, powerful, accurate and reliable. But that was only the linchpin of a forceful competitive sensibility that won singles titles in four separate decades. In 1949, at the age of 21, Gonzales won his second U.S. singles title, fighting back from two sets to love down to beat another formidable competitor, reigning Wimbledon champion Ted Schroeder. In 1971, at 43, Gonzales won the Pacific Southwest Open -- then one of the 10 biggest events in the world -- taking out 19-year-old Jimmy Connors. Although Gonzales' first-rate serve was one key to his longevity, his strongest asset was the internal firepower, as big an appetite for competition as the game has ever seen.

TPC Group Said to Discuss Buyout of Chemical Maker
TPC Group Inc., the largest producer of a chemical used in synthetic rubber, is in exclusive talks to go private in a leveraged buyout that may fetch more than $600 million, said people familiar with the matter.
TPC may get about $40 a share in the deal, which could come in a few weeks, said the people, who asked not to be named because the discussions are private. The $600 million doesn't include debt.
A takeover of Houston-based TPC, which used to be known as Texas Petrochemicals Inc., would represent a bet on continued scarcity of the rubber component butadiene. The chemical is a byproduct from making ethylene, and slumping natural-gas prices in the U.S. have led ethylene producers to use more of the fuel in the process, which yields less butadiene than other methods.
"They control a third of the North American supply of what should become a very scarce commodity going forward," Edward Yang, an Austin, Texas-based analyst at Oppenheimer & Co. who recommends buying the shares, said today in a telephone interview. "That gives them a lot of avenues to increase their earnings."
Miguel Desdin, a TPC spokesman, declined to comment.
The negotiations come after talks earlier this year, which involved chemical makers as well as buyout firms, collapsed following a jump in TPC's share price, the people said. The stock had climbed 43 percent this year through yesterday. TPC jumped 16 percent to $38.97 in New York, the biggest gain since Nov. 30.
Butadiene Market
A takeover at $40 would value TPC, including net debt, at about 7 times the company's $126 million estimated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for the year. That estimate is the average from two analysts surveyed by Bloomberg.
TPC competes in the market for butadiene with LyondellBasell Industries NV, Royal Dutch Shell Plc, and Exxon Mobil Corp. TPC is the best "pure play" in the butadiene market, Yang said.
The company plans to increase its butadiene output by refurbishing a Houston plant to make the chemical from butane, a component of gas that has increased in supply with production from shale rock formations.
Average contract prices for butadiene climbed 56 percent in 2011 amid tight supplies, according to a company filing.
TPC's origins date back to a pair of plants built by the U.S. government to make synthetic rubber during World War II. The company declared bankruptcy in 2003 amid the collapse in demand for MTBE, a gasoline additive it produced. It emerged the following year.
Apollo Global Management LLC, the private-equity firm run by Leon Black, disclosed in 2010 that it owned an 8.6 percent stake in TPC stock. The following year, it said it no longer owned any shares.

Hate speech targetting women is often neglected, for is is so much present in every day life and it can be so subtle that people do not even recognise it. This is why it is even more dangerous. Such hate speech is proliferating, notably on the Internet, with daily calls for violence against women and threats of murder, sexual assault or rape. Initiated by the United Nateions from 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, to 10 December, Human Rights Day, the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence Campaign is a time to galvanize action to end violence against women and girls around the world.

The Movement is organising a European Action Day against Fascism and Antisemtism on the 9th November 2014. In November we invite you to report antisemitic hate speech to the Hate Speech Watch. Report any online content (on social meda, websites, news sites, comments etc) that expresses hate speech against jewish people just for their identity, content that spreads fascistic ideas, or content that denies holocaust itself. The Movement is inviting you to express zero tolerance towards antisemitic hate speech and recommends that you speak up against antisemtism immediatelly when and where you read it. Ignorance can be interpreted as silent agreement, so it is very important that we counterargue in the moment it appears so other readers will see that it is not acceptable. If you fight ignorance you actually shiled out the spread of hatred. The Movement will organise different online actions around a selected number of hate speech reports. View

I have some external links coming into my site which mistakenly had a period added to their ends. (so, I can't fix them). Since inbound links are always good, I want to redirect these links to a legit page. I've tried a number of rules in the urlrewrite module for iis.5 and nothing seems to capture this url.
I've seen other questions on here regarding asp.net urls with periods at the end, but I'm trying to capture this one at the IIS rewrite module level. Any pointers on making this work?

Jefferson County deputies continue to search for two suspects wanted in connection to a string of residential burglaries last week in South Jeffco.
The crimes, encompassing at least three burglaries and the theft of a vehicle, took place between 3 and 4 p.m. last Tuesday, July 12 near West Bowles Avenue and South Kipling Parkway, said sheriff's spokesman Mark Techmeyer. The suspects, who had not yet been identified as of Monday morning, are a man and woman, both between the ages of 20 and 30, and are described as being white or Hispanic.

Tim Edgar, who lives in the Leawood subdivision, has been riding the vans daily since their inception in January 2012, and would have a much harder time getting to work without them.
It's a peaceful Saturday morning at Clement Park. Groups of runners are preparing for a 5K. Ducks and geese are walking through the grass. Locals are running along the path, some with dogs at their sides.
In the midst of all this, a small group begins a game of dodgeball. Even as the players are knocked out, they run behind enemy lines and do a set of 10 pushups. And once they have a ball in hand, they can attempt to hit their opponents, who now have enemy fire coming from both sides.

Film critics are up in arms over the general public's general dislike of the film "The Witch". They just don't understand how people could find it boring and they blame people for expecting scares when horror is so much more than that. The critics have concocted all sorts of reasons why the people's subjective take on the film are so objectively wrong. So I thought I'd take a few minutes to explain why I think the masses walked out of "The Witch" with such disinterest that the film got a C- Cinemascore.
1. False Expectations
If you treat people like they're stupid, they'll usually prove you right, whether they're actually stupid or not. In this case, the studio thought that, in order to sell "The Witch" to a wider audience, they needed to portray it as a movie with big scares so they advertised it as having big scares yet, for some reason, they were then surprised when people came out of the film wondering where the scares were. Now, obviously, there are times when you can go into a film expecting one thing and be pleasantly surprised by getting something different but that rarely happens when people expect mainstream fare and are given an art film, which "The Witch" most certainly is. Basically, if you tell people they're getting pizza and then you bring a salad, it really doesn't matter how good the salad is; people are going to be disappointed.
Although, what makes this situation even funnier to me is that the critics deserve blame here as well. I'm sorry but, if you're a professional writer, you can't describe a film as scary and then get upset that people were expecting scares. You can write as many think pieces about how horror is more than jump scares but how about you put your vocabularies to work when actually describing the film and use words like haunting, creepy, disturbing, etc. It's like describing a film as "The funniest movie ever!" and then complaining that people didn't appreciate how clever it was because they were expecting Funny Ha-ha. Words can shape expectations and expectations often shape reactions. I find it insane that writers apparently don't take much interest in being precise with their words when they're trying to sell a film they love.
2. The Accents
"The Witch" is a film that evokes anxiousness more than fright and that approach requires people to really immerse themselves in the film and get into the world and into the characters' shoes. That's very difficult to do when you spend much of your time trying to figure out what the heck people are saying.
3. The General Public Doesn't Care About Craft
"The Witch" is a very well-made film. And the attention to detail, down to the sets being built with period tools, is commendable however the general public doesn't really care about that. When I was telling people about "The Revenant", I always told them about how it was shot in natural light and how they could only shoot two hours a day and it was brutally cold but I still knew that, ultimately, that wouldn't be what carried the film. If people didn't get into the world or characters, the 40 minutes of Leo wandering around without saying a word of dialogue would be what they thought was truly brutal.
Similarly, "Hail Caesar" might have had some amazing set design and costumes and really nailed the feel of 50's Hollywood but if the audience is wondering, "What the hell is going on?!" then none of that really matters.
4. Missing Mystery
Hitchcock said that there's nothing scarier than a closed door. The Witch didn't have many closed doors. Basically, it had one open door that people kept walking through to their demise.
In an early scene, a baby disappears. Kinda creepy. And then we see a witch (we assume) holding a knife to the baby's throat. Then the witch is lathered up in blood. Super creepy! What's next?!
Well, what's next was what felt like an hour of a family drama while, somewhere in the woods, we know there's a witch that's… biding her time? This is where I think the public and the critics start to REALLY break ranks. Critics write stuff like, "The Witch makes the mundane sinister, from the tormented shapes of the corn husks in the field to the weird glow of pewter by candlelight." But, to most people, it just had a lot of mundane shots while people with thick accents don't seem all that panicked about what happened.
Critics dismiss complaints of the film not being scary as the rantings of people who need jump scares but the issue is that there was a distinct lack of tension. The father sells the story that the baby was taken by the wolf and nobody seems that panicked about this. For 90% of the movie, the daughter doesn't even protest that that excuse doesn't make sense. Nobody seems to be ringing the alarm that the Witch has left the woods once and could attack at any moment and they need to get out of there. The mother is broken up about her baby disappearing and people are upset that it died before being baptized but that's not exactly edge-of-your-seat material.
When the horror film kicks back in, we see the son being lured towards the witch when she is in buxom lady form. It's basically the shower scene from "The Shining" except in the woods. The set-up is painfully obvious so basically everyone's waiting for the woman to turn back into the crazy old witch that we've already seen. Nobody expects the kid to turn away from the hottie. Nobody expects anyone to get there in time to stop him. And this is why, when the film did try to attempt a jump scare in this case, it failed. People were more waiting for the old hand to appear than they were nervous about what might happen.
Conversely, the most effective moment in the film is when the mother wakes up to find her two dead children in the bedroom. It's a scene that is filled with dread as you know something's not right but don't know what exactly is happening or what the mother is getting herself into. When it finally cuts to show that what she thinks is her baby breastfeeding from her is actually a crow pecking at her bloodied breast, it's a moment that will likely live forever in the minds of horror fans and anyone who sees the film.
But that is really the only scene in which we're wondering what will come next rather than just waiting for it to happen already.
5. Archetypes Rather Than People
For a family drama, there's really not much to the family. Yes, you can read into the characters as making statements on feminism or religion but you need something on the superficial layers to grab the audience and there wasn't much to hold onto there. There's really not a ton of tension. It takes the second kid to disappear for the mom to say she wants to go back but even then it's more of a general "I hate America" than a "We gotta go! Now!" The daughter sits back and plays her role until she finally lashes out at her father but until then, she doesn't do much to fight the fact that the "The baby got taken by a wolf" story was nonsense. For the most part, she's a completely passive hero and the times she breaks from her passivity isn't very heroic – she freaks out her sister and blackmails her brother into taking her into the woods (where she just rides on the horse to wherever he's going.)
And "The Witch" is basically a witch. No motive that we know of. No nothing. Just a witch.
6. Lack of Hero/Villain Conflict/Goal
Not only was The Witch just a generic witch that we know nothing about, but there really wasn't a ton of conflict actually involving the witch in this film. There was a witch. People didn't like to talk about the witch. Nobody seemed all that pressed to find out why the witch was doing what she was doing or how she could be stopped. She was just out there. If you think the title "The Witch" is generic, wait until you get a load of the actual witch. To add something to the film, the people I went with started wondering if one of the family members was actually the witch. Nope. Just a bunch of witches doing witch stuff.
Honestly, I would have preferred this movie if there was no witch at all and it was just a drama about a family dealing with the father's decision to accept banishment from the colony, his realizing that he's a failure, and his daughter bearing the brunt of it as the family crumbles around her.
7. It was an Art Film
There's an old saying, "Be careful what you wish for because you might just get it," and this is a perfect example of that. Critics were thrilled when "The Witch" got a wide release but then seemed stunned when the art film played poorly to the general public. This was not a popcorn movie. There's little to it that plays to the crowd who goes to the film to be entertained rather than see a film and then sit and talk about it and see it again so they can better break it down.
And what frustrates me the most is how critics treat wanting entertainment value as a negative. The fact of the matter is that it's much easier to make an art film than it is to make a great piece of popcorn cinema. I'm always frustrated when our great writers and directors act like finding the alchemy to make a film that amazes both cinephiles and passive filmgoers alike is easy.
Critics like to pretend that their beloved indie films don't have as many tropes and clichés as popcorn movies do. But they do. Especially indie horror.
The bottom line is that many people go to be entertained and "The Witch", to me, was more of a film to be appreciated. Which is fine but don't be pissy when you sell it as more than that and people walk out expecting more.
In the end, I'm just not sure how critics are surprised that "The Witch" wasn't a crossover hit. I'm not sure what they saw in it that they thought was going to wow the general public. For instance, Slate's Katy Waldman couldn't BELIEVE that the masses didn't embrace the film's "commitment to unrelenting, ambient dread" that "helps it evoke the mindspace of its Puritan characters. Rarely have I seen rendered so powerfully the paranoia and terror of Calvinism…" I honestly have no idea how you can type out those words and still wonder how the film might have veered away from the general public.

|shadowlea 1216 posts
For those who don't bother reading the guidelines
NO SCIENCE FICTION PLEASE….EG…SPACESHIPS/ UFO'S UNLESS unless it includes relevant text relating to this group
thanks for your understanding
|☼Laughing Bones☾ 192 posts
I think why people might think it has to do with UFO's and the like is the group avatar even though it's not gives a sci fi vibe. (just my 2 cents)
|shadowlea 1216 posts
Thanks Jeff perhaps I might change it, it could be misleading, I don't mind fractals or any art medium as long as it provokes thought about what is commonly accepted as mainstream truth….and makes the viewer think further and see different aspects of a subject …just a spaceship and calling it invasion or rescue does not cut it, or alien landscapes..with no wording is just fantasy to me……and there plenty of groups for this sort of work…..of which I admire as in a lot of cases is exceptional work…but I am trying to stick to the guidelines and I must admit there are aspects of it which might be mis-interpreted…You have been most helpful Jeff
|☼Laughing Bones☾ 192 posts
i might add as i've had to do with my own group several several times, gentle reminders never hurt either. I think fractals might also be misleading, perhaps the best and most assured way to make a point is the rejection notice, I dont worry about feelings too much as rules like yours are explanatory enough and if a person gets enough rejection notices they eventually figure it out or they simply move on, either way the job gets easier. I just booted a person who refused to acknowledge anything, so after the 5th time – buh bye and sayonarra
|shadowlea 1216 posts
i was going crazy about how to re-word the guidelines, so thanks Jeff if it makes sense to you, then I won't bother..There's always B-mail if anyone has any queries I guess…..I'll take your line of dealing with those who don't get the message
thanks Heaps

CITY COUNCILWOMAN Maria Quinones-Sanchez, who yesterday backed a slate of five candidates under her "LEAD Team" banner, wants to build a political empire outside the Democratic Party machine.
But Rome wasn't built in a day - and yesterday was not Sanchez's day.
The only victory for Sanchez's candidates yesterday was Jason Dawkins' upset against state Rep. James Clay Jr. But yesterday afternoon, Sanchez seemed prepared for that reality.
"All I need to do is win one," she said before polls closed. "If you win one, you're in the game."
Her husband, Tomas Sanchez, lost his bid to unseat state Sen. Tina Tartaglione, finishing third in the three-way race. Former Councilman Danny Savage was the runner-up.

I am building a site for a friend of my bosses (see here). My problem is that when you Zoom Out (using Cmd -) the Nav Menu at the top gets broken into two lines. I can't seem to find any specific information on how to keep this from happening. It doesn't happen in FireFox.
Is there a CSS attribute that I am not using or am using incorrectly? Is there a way to disable the Zoom Feature in the code? I just don't know what to do or what I'm looking for really.
Thank you in advance.

You are going on a long trip. You start on the road at mile post 0. Along the way there are n hotels, at mile posts a1< a2< ∙ ∙ ∙ < an, where each ai is measured from the starting point. The only places you are allowed to stop are at these hotels, but you can choose which of the hotels you stop at. You must stop at the final hotel (at distance an), which is your destination.
You'd ideally like to travel 200 miles a day, but this may not be possible (depending on the spacing of the hotels). If you travel x miles during a day, the penalty for that day is (200 − x)2. You want to plan your trip so as to minimize the total penalty—that is, the sum, over all travel days, of the daily penalties. Give an efficient algorithm that determines the optimal sequence of hotels at which to stop.

A retired fly fishing enthusiast living the summer on the beautiful Swan River in northwest Montana. In addition to caring for our riverfront home, tending our vegetable garden and nurturing our perennials, as a certified fly fishing instructor and fly tier, I enjoy teaching fly casting and all the intricate nuances of the sport. I relish the food of my heritage and am blessed with my wife, Virginia, who as an accomplished chef, teaches cooking, enjoys knitting and painting landscape scenes. I love to float the 5 miles from Swan Lake to the takeout on our property, catching rainbow trout along the way. Leisure is reading mystery novels. Fly fishing floats, fly casting lessons, river tube floating and other outdoor activities can be easily arranged. I can also supply all fly fishing equipment. Just let me know your desires. The cottage is available from May 1st to October 31st.
Vince and Virginia are wonderful hosts and strive to make your stay at their English Cottage enjoyable with all you need. Their very clean cottage is located near the river with a beautiful view. We wish we would have booked more days at their place to enjoy all the activities around Bigfork. The cottage is also close to Glacier National Park for day trips. Virginia and Vince are easy to work with and great resources for local activity recommendations. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
I stayed at the cottage for a long weekend while I was in Bigfork for a wedding. Vince and Virginia were so welcoming and flexible. The property is breathtakingly beautiful and the accommodations are clean and comfortable. I loved enjoying my morning coffee and delicious homemade baked good (courtesy of Virginia) on reclining chairs on the banks of the Swan River. I highly recommend staying here and will do so myself if I'm ever back in the area.
We had a fantastic time at the cottage on the Swan. It was so peaceful and relaxing. We also had great hosts! Thanks for everything, Vince & Virginia!!!
What a beautiful and cozy retreat! Our hosts were extremely hospitable...we feel a kinship to them now. This provides a fabulous view of the river and if you float the river then you are able to get out right at the cottage. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. I highly recommend booking this cottage if you are headed to Glacier or simply want a place to let your cares melt away.
This was the best place we have EVER stayed. Setting, hosts, location was PERFECT. Not being stuck in GN Park made it ideal. You can not go wrong staying here

Members on the ad hoc committee on affordable housing, which met Tuesday, April 2, agreed that there is some confusion on what exactly affordable housing is.
One problem they are facing, members said, is that the term "affordable housing" has a stigma attached to it. People correlate "affordable" with HUD, or government-subsidized housing.

This was a fabulous introduction to Barcelona. We did this on our first evening in the city and it was a great start to our break. Fantastic guide, small intimate group, great pace, great value.
Fantastic! Great walking tour that provided a nice overview of Barcelona and the tapas were delicious.
Tour guide was fantastic! Took us to try quite a few different tapas and Pistos! Very informative on the history of Barcelona and its tradItions! A lot of tapas were served; did not even eat dinner that night!
Great tour!!!
We booked the tour for our first evening in Barcelona, and we were so glad we did. We were fortunate to have a wonderful energetic and knowledgable guide, Paula, who shared with us history of the area, as well as the history of the samples of delicious tapas and wine. She also gave us a good feel for some really great spots to check out during our stay in the city. Paula and #39;s enthusiasm kept us engaged despite our full day of traveling. We recommend this tour to any one visiting Barcelona for the first time. If possible request Paula as your guide, she was awesome and really made our first might a memorable one!
This was the last tour we took on our three week European vacation, and it was by far the best. Our guide was Nico, and we really enjoyed the entire tour. His knowledge of Barcelona even though he did not grow up there and the customs and traditions kept us interested and engaged. The two tapas restaurants he took us to had to be the best in town. We were also fortunate enough to sample some delicious candy and gelato. We would not only recommend this tour, but will take it again the next time we are in Barcelona. Thank you Nico!
Excellent tour. Guide was knowledgeable and friendly would recommend tour to others.
This tour was amazing!
Our tour guide, Sebastian, was entertaining and informative! The tapas and wine selections were outstanding, and additional surprise stops were fun!
Our tour started off with an amazing tour guide, his name was Nico. Nicole was friendly, knowledgeable, and fun! Overall it was a great tour!
It was my first tour after my arrival in Barcelona and I think it is a good idea to start from the food! I had the luck to be in the group guided by Nico, a very knowledgable and nice guy handsome also who took us to two tapas places and to one sweets' shop explaining so many interesting things about the gastronomic aspects and also hystorical and life-style of Barcelona. I very much suggest this tour and if you do it ask for Nico as a guide!
Fantastic!! Learned so much. Wonderful visit to market with so much information. Got to visit so many interesting places. Food was great. Our tour guide Paula was absolutely wonderful!!!!
My first night in Barcalona this was a great introduction. I didn and #39;t do the flemengo show and instead we did more tapas. Our guide was very knowledgeable and funny. He even took us to the oldest chocolate place for samples which wasn and #39;t expected but a very nice addition .
This tour was amazing!
This was the first tour of this type for me so I was not sure what to expect. I was delighted. The tour was just as advertised and more. It was great getting into some of the back streets of old Barcelona, seeing the shops and hearing the stories and history. Our guide was Ava and she did an excellent job. She was friendly, very well prepared and knowledgable. I enjoyed the whole experience, learned a lot and would like to thank Ava for her efforts.
I cannot recommend this tour highly enough! Our tour guide Paula was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and professional. The quality of the wine and tapas was first class, especially the pintxos in the last restaurant. We met some lovely people on the tour and thoroughly enjoyed the trip to the Boqueria food market. We now feel confident and well informed enough to order many different types of tapas. We also know where is best to wander. Paula also gave us interesting information about Spanish culture and some of the historical buildings, tiny squares and churches in the area. A great 'first night' trip out to help you maximise your time whilst visiting Barcelona. Very good value for money. Thankyou.
This was the best decision my partner and I made in Barcelona! We took this tour on the first afternoon of our stay in Barcelona and it helped us shape the rest of our trip. We learned so much about the city, culture, where to eat, what to eat, what vendors to look for, and what to avoid.
I cannot recommend this tour enough. Totally worth the price!
It was amazing! Nico was the best, the culture and history he provided was incredible, the food was fantastic and the flamenco show at the end was amazing, i was literally in a trans!
Lovely night in Barcelona going to markets and tapas bars while touring different areas of town.
Great tour and an Gabi is an excellent guide. This is a good intro to the types of tapas and the area around the market - la Bocaria. This was our favorite part and we went back days laterR and shopped for a picnic lunch. Even in the pouring rain we enjoyed ourselves.
This was one of our best tours in Barcelona! Our tour guide, Nico, was amazing. He took us through La Bouqueria, the Ramblas, and El Born area and explained so much history along the way. We had 5 tapas + 3 pintxos and had some bonus gelato and torrons samples because Nico simply has the hookup!
We began the tour at the office for this tour group. The guide was wonderful as he explained tapas and wine. The variety of the tour reflected the history and culture of Spain and the beauty of Bari Gotic. The food was wonderful at each of the stops. The guide encouraged a sense of adventure and exploring new cuisine.
JC United States of ...
Tour Guide was GREAT. Very informative and entertaining.
Gabbi was great!!! Food was outstanding, really enjoyed ourselves.
great evening tour. Very informative tour of the old town and in both main stops the food and wine was plentiful and delicious. Our tour guide was very good and we thoroughly enjoyed the evening
Our Favourite tour in Barcelona - ask for Nico - a great guide!
The tour was as much about local history as it was tapas.

Another bucketfull of irony poured into the bottomless well of Republican hypocrisy:
Senator Rand Paul […] was
detained[inconvenienced] at the airport in Nashville by the Transportation Security Administration on Monday, according to people close to the lawmaker, although the T.S.A. quickly disputed their account.
Instead, the agency said the senator had been denied entry to the secure part of the airport after refusing a pat-down,and was "escorted" from the screening area by local law enforcement, but had never been "detained."
Mr. Paul was later rebooked on a different flight and was "re-screened without incident," the agency said.
The T.S.A. said that Mr. Paul had been screened by a version of its millimeter-wave body imaging device that uses a generic image of a passenger and, if it detects any anomaly, puts a yellow box on the body area that requires greater scrutiny. An alarm was triggered when he was in the machine, which – under administration procedures – required a "targeted pat-down" to see what caused it. But Mr. Paul refused to submit to the pat-down, the agency said.
Get it? Wingnut firebrand Rand Paul gets his panties in a bunch because the TSA was trying to pat down his God-given right to privacy. Where does the irony come in?
A posting on the senator's own Twitter account shortly before the incident announced that he was headed to Washington to speak at the "March for Life," an anti-abortion rally.
Yep, Paul was off to join a bunch of anti-choice dead-enders in their quest to overturn Supreme Court decisions like Griswold v. Connecticut and Roe v. Wade, which served to establish a constitutional right to privacy when it came to things like contraception and abortion.
But far be it from me to ever expect any kind of consistency or logic to invade the bubble in which wingnuts spend all of their waking hours…
Republican Chutzpah Quote of the Day: Sex Life Off-Limits For Media
One wonders what Herman Cain's lawyer would have had to say about John Edwards or the whole Lewinsky mess:
"This is not an accusation of harassment in the workplace — this is not an accusation of an assault — which are subject matters of legitimate inquiry to a political candidate," he said. "Rather, this appears to be an accusation of private, alleged consensual conduct between adults — a subject matter which is not a proper subject of inquiry by the media or the public.
"No individual, whether a private citizen, a candidate for public office or a public official, should be questioned about his or her private sexual life," Wood said. "The public's right to know and the media's right to report has boundaries and most certainly those boundaries end outside of one's bedroom door."
Simple Question: If Jesus Were Around Today, For Whom Would He Be Speaking?
A little nugget in Lev's last post got me to thinking:
If acceptance by the public matters to Mormons so much, they might want to take the initiative and assume a more hospitable attitude toward the LGBT community and a social justice focus, for starters.
The ability of a lot of alleged "Christians" to flee miles away from what the Jesus of the Bible seemed to be interested in never ceases to amaze me.
The simple question I always find myself wanting to ask a public Christian like, say, Herman Cain or Bill O'Reilly is: "If Jesus were around today, for whom would he be speaking: the rich or the poor?"
It seems like such an obvious question with such an obvious answer. Yet the vast swathe of conservative people who show up on our teevees and claim to love Jesus are the same people who constantly speak up for the rich at the expense of the poor.
How do you really think that a quote like this from Herman Cain would've gone over with resurrected Zombie Jesus:
"Don't blame Wall Street, don't blame the big banks — if you don't have a job and you are not rich, blame yourself!"
I realize that it's kind of a fool's errand to try inserting rational concepts like logic and consistency into the irrational world of the religious. I get it. But it never seems to stop me from running into fundamental disconnects like this and slapping myself up the forehead about how ridiculous it all is.
I mean, it's all well and good to believe that a human being's only salvation is through sacrificing 2-week-old bunnies to the Unicorn God; but you've got to actually sacrifice the bunnies in order to get anyone to take seriously the belief you claim to have. You also can't wind me a nice-sounding yarn about how cool Jesus was because he spoke up for the poor and the downtrodden — and then turn around and tell the poor that they're a bunch of lazy, feckless assholes.
Another success story to add to Marcus Bachmann's theory of praying away the gay:
Emails shared with The Indianapolis Star suggest that state Rep. Phillip Hinkle — responding to a local posting on Craigslist — offered a young man $80 plus tip to spend time with him Saturday night at the JW Marriott hotel.
The emails, sent from Hinkle's publicly listed personal address, ask the young man for "a couple hours of your time tonight" and offer him cash up front, with a tip of up to $50 or $60 "for a really good time."
The email exchange is in response to the Craigslist posting in which the young man — who lists his age as 20 in the ad but says he is 18 years old — says, "I need a sugga daddy."
The young man told The Star that they met, but that he tried to leave after the man told him he was a state lawmaker. He said the lawmaker at first told him he could not leave, grabbed him in the rear, exposed himself to the young man and then later gave him an iPad, BlackBerry cellphone and $100 cash to keep quiet.
I wonder if all these Republican drops in the "closeted hypocrite" bucket will ever finally spill over into a real reckoning about the GOP's absurd crusade against evil homosexuals.
There isn't much that blows my mind more than the followers of some particular strain of irrational religious mythology denouncing the followers of another irrational strain of religious mythology.
I mean, is the belief that Catholics literally eat the transubstantiated body and blood of Christ any weirder than Magical Mormon Underpants™? I know most God-fearing "modern" Christians in this country like to bitch about Islam's treatment of women, but isn't "modern" Christianity just a cafeteria-style approach to the Bible's real teachings on the subject of male-female parity?
"Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church. . . ." — Ephesians 5:22–23
"These [redeemed] are they which were not defiled with women; . . ." — Revelation 14:4
"In pain shall you bring forth children, woman, and you shall turn to your husband and he shall rule over you. And do you not know that you are Eve? God's sentence hangs still over all your sex and His punishment weighs down upon you. You are the devil's gateway; you are she who first violated the forbidden tree and broke the law of God. It was you who coaxed your way around him whom the devil had not the force to attack. With what ease you shattered that image of God: Man! Because of the death you merited, even the Son of God had to die. . . . Woman, you are the gate to hell." Tertullian, early Church father.
For my money, people that believe in redemption through celestial tap-dancing leprechauns reveal themselves as pretty silly when they go around dissing people who yearn for the day when God's army of divine space chipmunks brings about The Rapture.
First case in point: "Real" Christian Hosts on Fox News dissing Mitt Romney's form of Space-God worship:
A recent Gallup poll had Texas Gov. Rick Perry trailing former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney 4 percent to 13 percent among Republican voters.
But the hosts of Fox & Friends said Sunday that Perry would have an advantage if he decides to get in the race because Romney is "obviously not a Christian."
"Only 13 percent of those people said Mitt Romney is their guy," noted Fox News host Dave Briggs. "It looks perfect for someone like Rick Perry to get in."
"Well the Christian coalition, I think he could get a lot of money from that," host Ainsley Earhardt predicted. "Because Romney, obviously not being a Christian — Rick Perry, he's always on talk shows — on Christian talk shows. He has days of prayer in Texas."
Second case in point: GOP Presidential Contender Herman Cain On Dirty Mooslems and the First Amendment:
WALLACE: [C]ouldn't any community then say we don't want a mosque in our community?
CAIN: They could say that. Chris, let's go back to the fundamental issue that the people are basically saying that they are objecting to. They are objecting to the fact that Islam is both religion and of set of laws, Sharia law. That's the difference between any one of our other traditional religions where it's just about religious purposes. The people in the community know best. And I happen to side with the people in the community.
WALLACE: So, you're saying that any community, if they want to ban a mosque?
CAIN: Yes, they have the right to do that. That's not discriminating based upon religion — against that particular religion.
Let he who is without ignorant, militant faith throw the first stone, right?
Update: The Herman Cain hits just keep on coming:
In an editorial board interview with the Washington Times, Herman Cain expanded at length on why he believed Mitt Romney could not beat Barack Obama. Among other factors, Cain noted that Romney has not done "a good job of explaining his religion," which he asserted would be a major liability in the South. Cain said the fact that Romney is a Mormon "doesn't bother me," but "it is an issue with a lot of southerners."
China to U.S.: Look At Your Own Human Rights Abuses Before You Criticize Us
Like I've said time and time before, our country's quick descent into becoming a torture state had broad ramifications for our ability to later call out human rights abusers without being called hypocrites.
China seems to have figured this out:
The United States is beset by violence, racism and torture and has no authority to condemn other governments' human rights problems, China said on Sunday, countering U.S. criticism of Beijing's crackdown.
The row between Beijing and Washington over human rights has intensified since China's ruling Communist Party extended its clampdown on dissidents and rights activists, a move which has sparked an outcry from Washington and other Western governments.
Chinese artist Ai Weiwei is the most prominent of the activists to be detained by police or held in secretive custody in the latest crackdown.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Friday she was "deeply concerned" about it, and cited "negative trends" including Ai's detention. […]
"Stop the domineering behavior of exploiting human rights to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries," it said, according to excerpts published by the official Xinhua news agency.
"The United States ignores its own severe human rights problems, ardently promoting its so-called 'human rights diplomacy', treating human rights as a political tool to vilify other countries and to advance its own strategic interests," said a passage from the Chinese report.
It's a hard time for pots trying to call the kettle black.
Remember our general disgust with Evan Bayh back in January when he decided to (surprise!) become a lobbyist after leaving Congress?
Well sir, it gets worse:
Today, the former senator who decried "strident partisanship" and "unyielding ideology" will be paid by a ridiculous cable news outlet that exists to spew "strident partisanship" and "unyielding ideology."
Fox News officially announced on Monday afternoon that former Democratic Senator Evan Bayh is becoming a contributor to the network.
Michael Clemente, the network's senior vice president for news, announced the move in a statement. He said that "Senator Bayh's decades of experience in the political arena and his participation in key decisions in Washington will lend a valuable point of view to the entire Fox News lineup."
"I'm pleased to offer analysis of public policy and politics to the millions of Americans who get their news from Fox," Bayh said in the statement.
Howard Kurtz said it's "good" for Fox News to hire "a prominent Democrat." But that's fundamentally at odds with what's transpiring here — Fox News hires Democrats who can be reliably counted on to say unpleasant things about Democrats. Why do you think Doug Schoen is on Fox News all the time? Because of his charming smile or because he's the "Democrat" who hates Democrats?
I realize that politics has always been a heaping portion of manure slathered onto a warm shit sandwich but did politicians ever try to do a better job of hiding their true nature as corrupt, duplicitous assholes? I mean, at least give it some effort!

Why I Like Working in College Health
I approach change from a solution-focused, narrative perspective, where there is an art and a science to the intervention.
In my job, no day is ever lacking in challenges and opportunities. Working with colleagues who share an ethic of care for clients (and also for each other) really makes this a great profession to be in.
