ve Hites got it half right in his commentary, "Cruise ship head tax proponents are missing the boat ..." But the reason is the Passenger Service Act of 1886. There is a $300 fine for each passenger who wants to cruise in Alaska waters, e.g. Juneau to Whittier. As long as we must fly to Seattle and then take a bus to Vancouver to cruise in our own backyard - on a non-U.S.-made ship - I see the head tax as a great way to dull the pain of congestion, dirty air, dirty water, and archaic legislation!

I've seen on the marketplace now several alarm clock applications that claim to analyze your motion patterns in your sleep, so as to determine the ideal time to wake you up such that you feel refreshed. I am intrigued by this possibility; however, I do not sleep alone. Does anyone know if these apps work well, or even at all, if there are multiple individuals in the bed, each presumably moving on their own sleep cycle?
No, it would probably not work if you don't sleep alone unless the one you sleep with don't move at all in their sleep.
In short. It doesn't work.
The movements you have when you sleep indicates "muscle paralyzation", which is one of the factors that indicates your REM sleep cycle. However, this is one of the not-so-accurate ones. If you want real accuracy, you will need those that measure ECG with a headband (Zeo, for example).
In addition, most apps in the market does not give an accurate reading of your movements due to interference and sensor sensitivities.

In the presentation of his theme the author discusses first the chemical nature and the nutritive functions of the substances that serve as sources of energy in nutrition; then the nutritive requirements interms of energy; protein; the more prominent inorganic elements and the vitamins, and finally the bearing of the various factors of food value on the problems connected with the economic use of food. Such is the scope of a work that has deservedly reached a second edition and will in the years to come reach many more because of its logical and simple style, its accuracy, and its delightful presentation. Every physician who wishes to inform himself in a general way of the present status of our knowledge of the nutrition of man will find the book a short but invaluable and reliable text giving all essential facts.

Tyrosalata - Spicy Feta Dip
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 0 mins
This goes great on pitas or Lavash, chicken or fresh vegetables. Yum! I was trying to find a substitute for Trader Joe's Spicy Feta Dip because my family will no longer buy it because it contains canola oil. This is not as thick and clumpy due to the fact I put it in the blender. I'll try to give the closest measurements I can because I made it by just throwing things into the blender.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄2 cup feta
- 1⁄3 cup olive oil
- 1 campari tomatoes
- 2 cherry peppers
- 2 inches English cucumbers
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon cilantro (chopped)
- salt (to taste)
- pepper (to taste)
- onion powder (to taste)
- Blend all ingredients together in blender until smooth.
- Add more Feta if too thin.
- Add more Cayenne if not spicy enough.

My new addiction! My husband can't eat cucumbers so I roasted 2 small red peppers, switched the cilantro out for oregano and I did not have cherry peppers so I used 2 jalapenos. This stuff is amazing! We are having it tonight with chicken souvlaki. I think having it on a spoon is just fine! Thanks for posting-really is amazing stuff!
I loved the spicy feta dip from Trader Joes . I moved out of state and we dont have a Trader Joes here, and I have been looking for a recipe like this,Thankyou. Your reciepe tasted just like the Trader Joes spicy feta dip!
Excellent recipe! I brought this to a family dinner and it was a great hit. I substituted jalapeno peppers and it was nice and spicy. Thanks!

This might be on topic here, so I'm going to ask it: If a car was hit by another one and responders needed access to it, what key parts should they be aware of the location when entering the vehicle?

I'd have thought it'd be anything that could cause a fire/explosion - Airbags, batteries and fuel tanks/lines.
The first thing you're going to want to do is cut off the fuel supply. On most cars, this is done off the ignition key, so that'd be your first target.
You don't mention whether you're talking about standard or modified cars - it's an easier question to answer with standard vehicles, as such locations can be readily identified in advance, and tend to be fairly predictable, wheras in a modified vehicle they might not be in the expected locations (for example, batteries might be located in the back of the car for improved weight distribution). Of course, if the vehicle was modified for competition use, there are strict rules regarding such components, including clearly marking the locations of battery cut-off switches and extinguisher triggers.

Last night's performance of INVINCIBLE SUMMER was disrupted when eighty-seven members of a Christian group walked out of the show en masse, and chose to physically attack my work by pouring water on and destroying the original of the show outline.
Daisey's offense? He said "fuck."
I doubt I will ever forget the look in his face as he defaced the only original of the handwritten show outlineit was a look of hatred, and disgust, and utter and consuming pride.

There is no surefire symptom or sign to indicate that someone has hepatitis. Some infected people look perfectly healthy even in advanced stages of illness. Experts recommend talking openly with sex partners about the risk of hepatitis and other sexually transmitted infections.
Of course, if you notice that someone has yellowing of the skin or eyes (a condition known as jaundice), consider that a red flag. Other symptoms of hepatitis include fever, fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, joint or abdominal pain, and clay-colored bowel movements. Blood tests are available to help determine if someone has hepatitis that could spread through sex.

This POS bank doesn't operate in the real world. Just a bunch of wanna be bankers getting fat and I do mean fat,money wise and physically while the stock price continues to deteriate!
Mr. Runner,I understand your frustration. However, banks that are growing with acquisition(s) usually lose tangible book value--they had to pay a little extra, otherwise the acquirees can simply liquidate. With FDIC deals, they actually made money, except these acquirees are a bit crappy. So down the road, the banks had to absorb some losses. The loses has not been very large, but BNCN was supposed to duplicate its superior management to these acquirees and bring them up to speed. It never happened. Either it did not have the superior management of its own, or the integration took longer.Not unlike De Novo banks, they'll lose money for a couple years on these acquirees. Eventually, they'll do okay. How well is the question.I generally stay away from De Novo banks. I'll stay away from BNCN, for that matter any bank that is growing with acquisition. Unless, of course, they already illustrated their ability to integrate the acquirees. USB and WFC came to mind.That said, it's been a couple of years since BNCN started to expand, maybe better days are just around the corner?Good luck.Sam
2Q is out, the bank has not turned the corner yet.

Associated Press
FORT BELVOIR, Va. — A homemade wind chime with the word "Whining" under a red slash is made from metal parts put in his leg after a parachute accident. Every Sunday he trims his crew cut. He didn't join the Army willingly, but as Command Sgt. Maj. Jeff Mellinger prepares to retire, he's grateful he found his calling.
Mellinger was drafted to fight the Vietnam War, and the Army believes he's the last draftee to retire, after 39 years. Most did their two years and left. But Mellinger had found home.
"I think I'm pretty good at it, but I like it. That's the bottom line. I love being a soldier and I love being around soldiers," he said.
Mellinger's motto is simple: No whining — as the wind chime attests.
When the draft notice arrived in the mail in 1972 at his home in Eugene, Ore., tens of thousands of troops had been killed. Anti-war protests were rampant. Draft cards were being burned and returning soldiers were treated as part of the problem. The military wasn't a popular job.
The return address on the letter was the White House. Just 19, he was impressed that President Richard Nixon would write to him.
"I opened it up and it said, 'Greetings from the president of the United States.' I said, 'Wow, how's he know me?'" Mellinger said, laughing. "It was a form letter that said my friends and neighbors had selected me to represent them in the Armed Forces and I was hereby ordered to report for induction."
Mellinger told the draft board there was a mistake.
"I ... told them I don't need to go into the Army, I've got a job," said Mellinger, who hung drywall for a living. "They just kind of laughed."
Once the path was set, he said, he didn't consider trying to find a way out.
He heard so many war stories in training that he was fired up about going, and was disappointed he was instead assigned to be an office clerk in Germany.
In Germany, Mellinger immediately stood out with his positive attitude, short haircut and mastery of physical fitness skills, said Bob Myers, 64, of Pleasant Hill, Iowa, then his company commander who now runs a chain of convenience stores. He replaced a soldier in trouble for illegal drug use, Myers said.
"He wasn't a part of that culture and everyone knew that," said Myers, who was instrumental in getting Mellinger to enlist when his draft term was over.
Mellinger wasn't long for clerking. He earned a spot in the Army Rangers, and would go on to do more than 3,700 parachute jumps. And despite the 1991 parachute accident that gave him the material for the wind chime, breaking his leg in several places, he went on to run nine marathons. He was made a command sergeant major in 1992.
Nearly a decade later, he was sent to ground zero in New York right after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks as part of an advance party from the First Army. Then came his time in Iraq as the top enlisted soldier of the multi-national forces in Iraq, where he says he survived 27 roadside bombings during his deployment of nearly three years straight.
Mellinger, 58, says his stories of being in the Army during the tumultuous 1970s as the Army struggled with issues of drugs, race and the role of women are so foreign to young troops that they look at him like he's a dinosaur when he shares them.
A recruiting poster hanging today on Mellinger's office door at Fort Belvoir, where he's the command sergeant major for the Army Material Command, that encourages female troops to try out for female engagement teams that work in war zones with Special Forces troops shows just how much things have changed since Mellinger was drafted.

'United line up bid for new left-back' – Sevilla's Alberto Moreno is the latest candidate to replace Patrice Evra at Manchester United. Reports in Spain suggest that 21-year-old Moreno, who recently made his debut for the Spanish national team, is on United's radar as they look to replace the Frenchman. United are ready to compete with Real Madrid and Chelsea to sign Moreno, who has a £25m release clause, as they prepare for a move in January.
Paper Round's view: With Evra fully expected to leave Old Trafford when his contract expires in the summer, United were expected to rekindle their interest in Everton's Leighton Baines, but as he 28-years-old the Englishman - whose value is likely to be very inflated - may not represent as good a value as Moreno. The Spaniard would fit nicely into the United side, but he is not going to come at all cheap either. One thing is for sure: United do need a new left-back and Baines may now not be their first choice.

'Arsenal, Liverpool and Spurs told to pay £6m for Capel' – Sporting Lisbon are willing to sell Spanish winger Diego Capel in January but only if someone meets their £6m valuation of the player. Reports in Portugal suggest that Sporting are ready to let Capel leave in January after resisting interest from Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham for the 25-year-old over the summer. Sporting insist they will not facilitate a cut-price deal for the former Sevilla star and are adamant that £6m is the price to lure Capel away from the Estadio Jose Alvalade.
Paper Round's view: Capel reportedly remains one of the highest earners on the Sporting pay roll and the Portuguese club are understood to want to get his wages off their books. The player would obviously favour a move to a higher profile league, and it's now up to the three Premier League clubs to battle it out. Arsenal and Liverpool? That makes sense. But do Spurs really need yet another midfielder? Absolutely not.

'Benitez to raid Chelsea for Spanish star' – Former interim manager Rafael Benitez is reportedly eyeing up a raid of former club Chelsea for defender Cesar Azpilicueta. The Napoli manager is keen to add to his defensive options in January as he aims to mount a charge for the Serie A title and is understood to want to bring Azpilicueta to the club after being impressed by him at Stamford Bridge. The 24-year-old is apparently desperate to secure himself a place in the Spanish squad for the World Cup in Brazil next summer and Benitez will attempt to lure him to Italy with the guarantee of first-team football.
Paper Round's view: January is going to see more high-profile moves than usual as players desperately vie for position ahead of the World Cup, and Azpilicueta may well be one of the more unsettled stars looking to grab attention. That being said, Jose Mourinho is not going to be remotely keen on losing a top defender at a key point in the season when his squad will be stretched due to a number of games. Simply put, this will have to wait until the summer and Azpilicueta may well remain frustrated for the remainder of the season.

'City to sign starlet dubbed the new Arjen Robben' - Manchester City are looking at a Dutch-Serbian wonderkid dubbed the new Arjen Robben. Richairo Zivkovic has been impressing for Dutch club FC Groningen and has drawn comparisons with Bayern Munich's Holland international winger Robben. The 17-year-old also attracted summer interest from Liverpool and director Hans Nijland has admitted that "they are watching him closely and are very keen".
Paper Round's view: It is certainly true that Zivkovic is attracting a lot of interest from top European clubs and it would not be a surprise to hear that City are also keen on the winger. Liverpool are understood to have regularly sent scouts to watch him play and this move appears very likely come the summer. It certainly will not be one that needs to be pushed through in January, however, and a summer bidding war appears the most probable scenario.

'United, Arsenal and Southampton target Argentine' - Manchester United, Arsenal and Southampton are poised to move for Valencia midfielder Ever Banega in the January transfer window. Banega has fallen out of favour under Mirosalv Djukic at the Mestalla but remains an important player at international level for Argentina. And with the World Cup on the horizon, Alejandro Sabella has reportedly encouraged Banega to seek first team football in January.
Paper Round's view: Banega's agent, Martcelo Simonian, has confirmed that his client has had contact with a number of clubs with a view to a possible move in January, and this one does look to be a possibility for January with United in desperate need of midfield reinforcements, while Arsenal could do with a competitor for Mathieu Flamini in a deep-lying position. Banega would fit in nicely with his tenacious style and could represent an excellent January signing.

I really only care about Webkit, but in general, is Raphael JS expected to perform well when building thousands of rectangles?
Additionally, I would need to be able to handle events on each of these rectangles (yipes).
I've got a C++ solution which works but I'd rather use RaphaelJS.
Thanks :)

Women worry Petraeus scandal will hurt their role as advisers to military leaders
Some said they carried themselves modestly by nature and didn't think twice about their mostly male environment; others said they took pains to "overcompensate" for their femininity in the battle theater by avoiding a flirtatious tone of voice, dressing unobtrusively and not making too much eye contact.
Among this panel of serious women academics and analysts, there is a special bitterness about Broadwell, whom many accused of relying on sex appeal rather than expertise for entry into the exclusive generals' club.
They're also disappointed in Petraeus for giving so much access to a young woman whom others in his circle spotted immediately as ill-equipped to write the definitive biography of a man considered a national hero.
"The crime of it was to give her the inferred expertise of an insider when everyone else had to earn that status," said one longtime Petraeus adviser. "They weren't just resentful that she wore tight tops — they were resentful that she was given a status she didn't deserve."
The stories abound — Broadwell wore a halter top to meet a senior commander at the Pentagon, she was given research tasks and job interviews for which she wasn't qualified, she presented herself as a journalist while serving on a panel at the prestigious Aspen Ideas Festival, a gathering of top thinkers from around the globe.
To other women, some of whom tried to mentor her, Broadwell turned on the charm to hide the fact that she was way out of her league.
"She earned something, OK, she went to West Point and she wrote the book, but she didn't have the level of expertise and judgment and, certainly, integrity, of someone who was given such prominence," one of the advisers said.
Before the identity of the Florida socialite who's also embroiled in the scandal was revealed, at least one longtime Petraeus adviser was embarrassed to get e-mails from colleagues asking whether she was "the other woman" who reportedly received threatening messages from Broadwell.
That, she said, is the risk to other women in the field when one woman squanders her coveted entry into the world of the security establishment's mightiest decision-makers. Access and trust are key, she said, to making such high-stakes relationships work in order to move policy on urgent security matters.
"It's so painful to watch because it means that anyone who was seeking to function in a role that requires that kind of relationship got pushed back several yards," the adviser said, "You've basically got a penalty on you because now you have to move back further to make sure no one construes you in that way."

I have some pictures that have different aspect ratios (most horizontal, some vertical), and when adding them together in a slideshow I have the problem that vertical images (and generally, images that aren't as wide as the slideshow itself) are aligned to the left, instead of centered. Have a look here:
Using Firebug, I see that the relevant CSS class is the one called "slide", but apparently I can't change it through the Dashboard. I tried to add the following to the custom CSS:
slide {

But these changes don't come through.
How can I solve this problem?

Holiday Overview
Holiday Overview
- Trek the Accursed Mountains of Kosovo, Montenegro and Albania
- Experience a fantastic cultural melting pot of flavours and local life
- Overnight in rural guesthouses and enjoy lunch with a Kosovan family
- Explore Lake Skadar home to rare birdlife and UNESCO Bay of Kotor
A designated Peace Park area after the 1991 war, the "Peaks of the Balkans" trail weaves through spectacular mountains and explores some of Europe's wildest scenery. Alongside superb walking, nothing can prepare you for the friendliness of the people which guarantees a very special holiday! Whilst trekking the Accursed Mountains, we cross international frontiers in the wild borderlands of Kosovo, Albania and Montenegro along the very best of the trail before finishing with a relaxed end in UNESCO Kotor Bay. As a protected area, cross-border permits are required to follow the route through stunning scenery which starts with a short transfer from the Kosovan capital of Pristina to the historic city of Peja (Pec). Located in the foothills of the Rugova Mountains, this enchanting city features well-preserved Ottoman architecture and after visiting the monastery 'Patriarchate of Pec', we hike into a hidden corner of Europe. Passing through traditional villages and over the Jelenak Pass (2272m), we cross from Kosovo into Montenegro and continue along old trade routes. Next is wild and rugged Albania where we are welcomed by our village hosts. Continuing our walk through pasturelands and over a rocky mountain pass (1800m), we experience wonderful hospitality before transfering to the Montenegrin town of Virpazar on the shores of Lake Skadar. After a morning boat ride we finish this adventure with two relaxing days to explore the UNESCO Bay of Kotor - with its historical ramparts, pavement cafes and spectacular mountain views. If you're looking for a cross-border walking journey through undiscovered destinations which offer traditional Balkan culture and unforgettable hospitality, then this is the only one!
Is this holiday for you?
This is a low-level trekking holiday (maximum elevation is below 2300 metres) with no camping. Generally we are following trails between valleys and villages that have been used by shepherds and local people. However, some of the paths are not very well-defined and the going underfoot can be more difficult on occasion, with no obvious path to follow and steep or overgrown terrain. For June departures, there may well be some snow patches to cross. Please note that there are some steep ascents and descents, and the walking is in a remote area. You should ensure you are physically prepared for the trek and able to walk for approximately 6 - 8 hours each day and for several days continuously. (N.B please be aware that this cross border trekking holiday requires a trekking permit. Therefore a copy of your passport is required after booking).

Meet at the group hotel in Peja. A single, timed group transfer from Pristina Airport to Peja (1hr 15 mins) is provided with the local leader accompanying the group to the hotel. Time permitting, and depending on the final time of the group transfer, we may visit the Decani Monastery which is close to Peja. UNESCO-protected and guarded by KFOR (the Kosovo Protection Force), the monastery was founded in 1327 by an order of Serbian Orthodox Monks. The monastery has some fabulous icons and frescoes, and the monastery shop sells delicious wine and honey. KE group package services begin with dinner in a local restaurant.

Explore the old town of Pec. Transfer to trek in the Rugova Mountains after lunch with a local family.
Peja, or otherwise known as Pec, is thought to be one of the oldest settlements in Kosovo. The Illyrians settled here back in 200 BC, and archaeological evidence has shown that Peja was one of the most important cities in the surrounding Dukagjini valley, during this period. Through the ages it has been occupied by the Byzantine people and the Ottoman Empire. The Turkish arrival brought with it the Islamic culture, and much of all of these cultures can still be seen and felt in the city today. This morning we visit the Patriachte of Pec monastery, which dates back to the 12th century and is another important spiritual place for the Serbian Orthodox church. After our cultural visit we transfer via the dramatic Rugova Gorge for 1 hour to the village of Reke e Allages. Many families only live here in the summer months as they tend their herds, and we will have lunch with a family in their local guesthouse home. Lunch is usually a serious affair in this part of the world, and includes fresh salads, homemade bread, birek or other pastry dish served with cheese and local raki (homemade brandy). After lunch we start our walk through the Rugova Mountains ascending through meadows and high pastures and descending through small villages and passing by farmsteads. At the trail end we meet our vehicle and have a short transfer to our accommodation in remote Liquenat. Overnight in simple guesthouse lodge accommodation.

Exciting day of trekking into Montenegro as we cross the Jelenak pass (2250m) and descend to Gusinje.
After breakfast we set off on our walk straight from the accommodation. It's an exciting day today as we cross over into Montenegro via the high and unmanned mountain border (the actual border is disputed by both countries at this point, and is shown as a dotted line on many maps). The path initially winds up through forest and passes the small blue glacial lakes called Liqueni i Kuchishtes and i Dreljave. Leaving the treeline behind us, we ascend into a dramatic valley and cross the Jelenak pass at 2250m. Crossing the head of the valley, we finally enter Montenegro via a point on the ridgeline at the Ravno Pass. We descend to the village of Babino Polje (Grandma's Field) where we meet our vehicles and transfer (1hr) to the remote town of Gusinje where we overnight. Gusinje is a small town of around 1700 people who are mostly Muslim, although the two mosques sit alongside churches and everyone coexists peacefully. The town is on the edge of the Prokletije Mountains, and there are dramatic views towards the peaks on the Montenegrin/Albanian border.

Trek to Albania via Talijanca peak (2056m) offering spectacular views of the Accursed Mountains.
This morning we take a short transfer (20 mins) to the start of our walk. Today we'll cross the border between Montenegro and Albania by way of a small peak called Talijanca (2056m). The trail begins by zigzagging through forest before emerging into a small corrie. From here we hike up to a ridge from where there are spectacular views of Albania's Accursed (Prokeltije) Mountains, which look both forbidding and alluring. From the summit of Talijanca, we can see into both Montenegro and Albania. We then descend to the sleepy village of Lepushe in the vicinity of Bordolescit where we overnight. This region of Albania is still very remote from mainstream tourism and this is a great opportunity to experience rural lifestyle. People living in the villages are generally self-sufficient, growing their own vegetables and fruit and keeping cattle, sheep, goats, pigs and bees. Local honey is delicious. Electricity comes from local hydropower stations and there are few telephone lines.

Trek through pretty meadows and rich forest to Nikc. Transfer to the shores of Lake Skadar.
Another beautiful day of walking today. We set off from the guesthouse and walk through forest and pretty meadow pastureland and ascend to a rocky mountain pass at 1800m. Again we have splendid views of this unique and pristine mountain environment. We descend to the village of Nikc, in the Kelmend province of Albania. It is remote here, even for the people of the Balkans! The people here, due to their isolated location in a mountain valley, are incredibly hospitable and it is not unusual to be invited into someone's home to taste their homemade raki or take a cup of locally-brewed mountain tea. Our vehicle will be waiting for us and after some refreshments we drive (3hrs) across the border into Montenegro and then onto Virpazar, on the shores of Lake Skadar. Overnight in a hotel by the lakeshore.

Straddled between Montenegro and Albania, we take a morning boat journey (2-3 hrs) across the clear waters of Lake Skadar. This is the largest lake in the Balkans and we enjoy some impressive views back to the Prokletije mountains which we have just walked through. The lake is one of the most important reserves for wetland birds in Europe and is home to a colony of Dalmatian pelicans, cormorants, herons and terns. At least 48 species of fish live in the lake, including carp, bleak and eel, all of which are offered up on local restaurant menus. We then transfer to the former royal capital of Cetinje. Here we have some lunch and then drive on into the Lovcen National Park above the Bay of Kotor. We have some fabulous views of this UNESCO world heritage site as we descend along a trail which once connected the port of Kotor to the mountainous interior of Montenegro. It is fantastic to enter the town on foot, via the ancient city walls, descending into the atmospheric streets and squares which date back to medieval times.

Walk and explore the stunning Bay of Kotor on old military trails to the top of Mt Vrmac (710m).
Our last day and we enjoy great views of the bay as we walk across the Vrmac ridge, which divides Kotor Bay from Tivat. We make use of an old military route which takes us to the top of Vrmac mountain (710m). Here we find a vast military complex dating back to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The lookout point on the summit of the ridge was perfect for surveying ships entering the bay. We continue along the ridge before descending to the village of Gornja Lastva. From here we transfer (20-30 mins) back to Kotor. In the late afternoon we should have some spare time for sightseeing and relaxing. There is the option to take the public bus to the old baroque town of Perast, north of Kotor, still within the bay. From here we can visit the famous island 'Lady of the Rock' (payable locally). Alternatively you can walk, or take the bus, into the old town of Kotor and explore the maze-like streets, or just relax. In the evening we will have a celebratory farewell dinner. Walk distance approx: 5 hours, 13kms, 800m of descent & 700m of ascent.

Group Leader & Support Staff
Spending Money
Approximately £100 should be allowed for miscellaneous expenses including your bar bills and reasonable tips to the support crew. If you intend to buy expensive souvenirs, you should budget accordingly (credit cards can be useful in this respect). Kosovo & Montenegro use the Euro, and the Lek is the currency of Albania. You should obtain Euros for this holiday. By far the easiest way to obtain your travel cash is from ATM's using a credit card or a debit card. ATM's are available at the airport in Pristina and in Peja, as well as Cetinje and Kotor. OPTIONAL ACTIVITIES (Subject to change) Boat ride to Lady of the Rock : €5, Local bus to Perast : €1 each way.
Guidance on Tipping
Tips do not form part of the wages of local staff but they are very much appreciated. It is important to remember that tipping is voluntary and should be dependent on good service. It is best if the tip is given at the end of the trip by the group as a whole. We recommend that each group member contributes around £30 and that tips are then distributed between the guide and support staff as the group feels is appropriate.

The unit of currency in Europe is the Euro.

We recommend you check if you require an adaptor for your electrical items at:
Preparing For Your Trip
It makes a lot of sense to spend some time before coming on a walking holiday getting some additional exercise. Regular walking in hill or back country is the best preparation. Running and swimming are also good for developing better cardiovascular fitness and stamina.
Know before you go
As a reputable tour operator, KE supports the British Foreign & Commonwealth Offices 'Know before you go' campaign to enable British citizens to prepare for their journeys overseas, and we recommend that all KE travellers take a look at the FCO Travel Advice for their chosen destination on the official FCO website: www.fco.gov.uk. North Americans can also check out the U.S. Department of State website: www.travel.state.gov for essential travel advice and tips.
KE treat the safety and security of all clients as the most important aspect of any trip we organise. We would not run any trip that we did not consider reasonably safe. Should the FCO advise against travel for any reason, we will contact everyone booked to travel to discuss the situation. We receive regular updates direct from the FCO and are in constant touch with our contacts on the ground. If you have any questions about government travel advice, please call our office.
Daytime temperatures in the lower valleys will vary between 15ºC and 30ºC at the times of year we operate this trip. The weather in summer is generally excellent - with hot days, clear skies and little rain. Note that temperatures do drop in the evenings in the mountains by several degrees. High up, we may encounter cooler conditions and stormy weather cannot be ruled out at any time of year in this mountainous region. At the coast the temperatures will be higher.

Owners Katja and Mario are very helpful. Rooms are clean, well-appointed, and well-heated! Bar is quiet and relaxed, and spa area is also well-kept. Excellent place to stay, and note I was there with a 10 year old. Worked out fine. Note one thing about Zermatt in general, be prepared to walk in ski boots, with skis at the beginning of the day or end of the day.
Avena restaurant is nice, good ecelctic (for Zermatt) not inexpensive but service is excellent and owner Marcus is very helpful and are wait-staff. Same goes for Old Zermatt restaurant, where Harry, the owner is a also a cool, helpful guy, with good food and very constructive suggestions. Both worked with owner-managers of Bellerive to accommodate special dietary restrictions.
The hotel itself has a nice boot room and very ergonomic etc.
Good place to stay with very nice hosts.
Not Swiss love their hash-browns, called Rosti!

At Smithville, MS, the current temperature is 62 and it feels like 62. Highs will continue to range between 56 and 68 with lows between 33 and 51. There is an 80% chance of thunderstorms today with a 60% chance of scattered thunderstorms tonight. All rain/storms should be moved out by early Sunday morning or late tonight. Severe weather will remain minimal today, but a few storms could be strong to severe. Main threat will be strong winds with any storm that does become severe. Heavy rain/flash flooding will be the primary threat today. Rainfall amounts of 1-3 inches with isolated amounts of 3+ inches will be possible (especially if storms train over the same area for a long time). At the Regional Rehab Center in Tupelo, MS, the current temperature is 57 and it feels like 57. Todays high is 66 with a 100% chance of thunderstorms. Tonights low is 47 with a 60% chance of showers.

As recent market gains have renewed risk appetite, junk bonds are getting a fresh look. » Read More
Stocks got a quick pop at the open Monday after some strong bank earnings out of Europe and expectations that auto sales will show a boost from the "Cash for Clunkers" program. But the rally quickly fizzled.
Stock index futures indicated a strong opening for Wall Street Monday, helped by European markets that hit a broader-index high for the year on better-than-expected bank earnings.
It is now four weeks since the S&P 500 hit its recent closing high of 946.21 on June 12. The benchmark index is down 6.7% since then and some components have been hit harder than others bringing dividend yields back up again. Here is a screen for companies that have been beaten up but might have good value in the longer term.
The NAHB home buying survey for May is out, and is again showing some improvement, but not much. Present and Future expectations of sales-essentially a survey of builder sentiment-rose. But traffic in prospective buyers, which is what counts, was unchanged.
Stocks flopped Friday, capping a dismal week, as bank stocks pulled back after recent gains.
Stocks opened flat Friday as investors were encouraged by a pair of better-than-expected manufacturing readings but dismal economic data out of Europe and weak U.S. retail reports capped gains.
A modest pop in futures as the Consumer Price Index was flat, in line with expectations.
Futures pared losses Friday after a pair of better-than-expected manufacturing readings.
The stress test results gave banks 30 days to come up with a plan for raising capital and then six months to execute on the plan. Well, no offense to Big Brother, but the banks are tripping over themselves to sell equity to be in the position to repay the double-dealing government overlords.
Futures are weak as commodities and commodity stocks are down, along with some financials which have announced secondary offerings today.
Cramer makes the call on viewers' favorite stocks.
Plus, Cramer drills into a couple of dentistry stocks for their underperformance.
In today's initial sell off, the Dow was down over 50% since its Oct 2007 peak. Here are more key dates for the Dow & S&P, both on a closing and intraday basis:
Principal Financial Group is seeing bearish options activity, as February puts trade with volume more than triple the previous open interest.
On a week dominated by the $787B stimulus plan passed by the House, with the Senate scheduled to start the vote at 5:30pET Friday, the markets came close to retesting their November lows to end the week down 3.5% or greater.
This company took issue with one of the Mad Money host's previous calls. Now he's taking issue with them.
Shares of US financial companies are rallying today after CNBC's Senior Economics Reporter, Steve Liesman, reported late Tuesday that the Obama administration might set a "bad bank," taking away toxic assets.
And that's not all. Energy plays, housing stocks, retailers – they're all victims of an under-the-radar trend in the markets.
Cramer makes the call on viewers' favorite stocks.
Not all energy Master Limited Partnerships are created equal. Jim Cramer breaks down the crucial differences and warns the savvy investor to stay away from the riskier offerings.

Ok so I have a pretty big problem.My cousin who is 7 may have Aspergers but has not yet been fully diagnosed due to complications with my aunts current divorce.Needless to say all of these problems are effecting her son pretty severely.he's been getting bullied at school because kids notice he's different and at home all he wants to do is play video games.
Video games have been a MAJOR problem since when something doesn't happen HIS way he goes into a violent tantrum.He begins hitting himself,throwing himself around the room and screaming at the top of his lungs!!
So we usually do pretty well with just sitting him down and turning off the game until he has cooled down but today I went to help him with his game since he was throwing yet ANOTHER tantrum.When I asked him for the remote though HE HIT ME! I was so shocked! I told him he couldn't play the game for the rest of the day because he hit me.
He ran upstairs FURIOUS!he slammed doors for awhile then eventually calmed down and got really quiet.When his mother came home and hour later she went to speak to him and he had fallen asleep and acted like nothing was wrong when he woke up.
Just a few moments ago she was helping him with his spelling words from school and instead of trying to spell the words he would give up and start screaming and hitting himself when he didn't want to! He eventually became so enraged with her trying to help him that he hit her then KICKED her as hard as he could!
His anger has just recently began to get worse and worse and the doctor says that it's probably part of his way of coping with his feelings about the divorce.
In my opinion I think it's his lack of discipline!My aunt does not make the effort to discipline him or make him do anything other than play games and her reason is because of how angry he gets.I don't believe discipline is supposed to be pleasant.so instead I'M having to play the bad guy for her and tell him when no means NO and when he acts out he gets things taken away.
I don't feel it is AT ALL my place to have to do this but it HAS to be done!
Just the other day he got so enraged at a video game that my 9 month old daughter started laughing because he was throwing himself around the livingroom like a crazy person and he tried to PUNCH HER with a wii remote in his hand!! Even after THAT his mother let him have the game back within an hour (maybe less)
I just don't know what to do anymore!I'm having to deal with him throughout most of the day.She spends about 4 hours actually around him.I drive him to and from school and he spends after school with me everyday.I need help.I have my first child right now and I'm totally new at all of this.So now on top of being a new mom and having to raise my own daughter I'm feeling like I've been thrown into raising a 7 yr old as well!
I was thinking about maybe buying some paint and when he starts acting out take him outside,with a canvas, and let him express his feelings through art or something =| maybe some paint balloons and he can throw them?? I don't know!

Outstanding Customer Service
I was travelling up to Airdrie to go to a Glasgow City Women's Champions League match at the Excelsior Stadium, and back south the next morning.
Sandy treated me with every courtesy, even driving me along to the stadium. There was just one thing, could I be down for breakfast at 8 30 because it was his turn to feed a very old neighbour. Guess who, excited by the result on the previous night, slept in until 9 30!. It was absolutely no trouble to Sandy, who made a very good porridge for me, even sat down and had some himself. Next time I am up to see Glasgow City(next round of the competition) I will definitely be booking at Shawlee

5A boys basketball state tournament capsules
#20 Tanner Gamble, Sr., Guard (7.7 ppg, 1.2 rpg, 2.0 apg, 0.8 spg)
#24 Brody Bagshaw, Sr., Forward (6.4 ppg, 4.1 rpg, 1.4 apg, 1.0 spg)
#35 McKay Richins, Jr., Forward (5.4 ppg, 3.7 rpg, 0.6 apg, 0.4 spg)
Scoring offense: 57.3 ppg (10th in 5A)
Scoring defense: 49.4 ppg (5th in 5A)
Last state championship: 1993
Prep editor James Edward's bracket: Loss to Riverton in first round.
Edward's evaluation: This team went 2-9 in the preseason, so it's very easy to discount its 10-0 record in the very weak Region 2. However, over the past three weeks, it appears the Vikings started to figure things out offensively, scoring at a higher clip than they have all season. Was that because they've evolved into a decent team, or because the rest of Region 2 failed to keep pace?
Weber Warriors (17-4)
Coach: Mark Larsen
How qualified: Finished second in Region 1 with a 7-3 record.
Playoff opener: vs. Brighton, Tuesday, 4:10 p.m. (At Maverik Center)
Best preseason victory: A 70-58 win against Sky View on Dec. 14.

Prep editor James Edward's bracket: Loss to American Fork in quarterfinals.
Edward's evaluation: Weber may be the best team in 5A nobody knows about outside of Northern Utah. The Warriors feature one of the best point guards in the state in Hayden Schenck, and he runs the offense exceptionally well. They only lost four games all year, but two were to Northridge in Region 1 which cost them the region title. Weber might not be good enough to compete with the big three in 5A, but it's more than capable of getting past the first round.
West Panthers (5-16)
Coach: Mike Matheson
How qualified: Finished tied with Kearns for third in Region 2 with a 4-6 record, but lost the season series to Kearns to fall into the No. 4 seed.
Playoff opener: vs. American Fork, Tuesday, 5:50 p.m. (At Maverik Center)
Best preseason victory: A 61-45 win against Cyprus on Dec. 2.
