(Antigua, Lake Atitlan, Flores, Guatemala City)
This value tour of Guatemala features the Colonial gem, Antigua. It was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979, and is the focus of much curiosity, in its mysterious allure. Discover lakes and volcanoes in Atitlan while learning about ancient rituals and mysticism. Take a domestic flight to Flores and enjoy a tour of the Tikal ruins, set in the heart of the Guatemalan Jungle! Listen to the Howler Monkeys roar across the distance as you climb to the top of these ancient ruins. Tikal was an important Mayan settlement for over 1500 years, starting about 700 BC. During the Classic Period 300 - 900 AD, the city prospered through trade and military conquest when the population peaked at 100,000. Return to Guatemala City by domestic flight.
Upon your arrival you will be met by a local representative who will help you locate your vehicle.
You will be picked up at your hotel and transferred to the airport in Guatemala city for your international or domestic flight.
Like many of the hotels in Antigua, the Spanish influence is still obvious in the Villa Colonial. An old, quaint ambiance surrounds this 50 room hotel, where traditional decor and modern necessities ensure a comfortable and pleasant stay. Enjoy an array of fresh fruits and juices at breakfast, along with other staples for a satisfying start to the day. Be sure to try the nearby restaurants to have a taste of the region's specialties firsthand. Lounge in the courtyard, mingle with other guests, or simply take in these beautiful surroundings. The center of town is a bit of a walk, and a short taxi ride away, but it is important to discover the history of these old walls and buildings when free time arises.
You will be met at your hotel by your private driver & guide. First you transfer to the village of Jocotenango - just on the outskirts of Antigua where you can visit the local workshops of the traditional woodcarvers of the area to see them work. You can also see the interesting pink & white façade of the Jocotenango church before you transfer across to the wonderful Azotea Coffee farm and museums. Here you can have a private guided tour of the Coffee Farm & the museums covering Mayan traditional music and costume. Learn about the importance of coffee in Guatemala's history and its impact today as well as hearing about the Maya way of life. Lunch is included for you and your guide. When you are ready you will continue on driving to some of the villages surrounding Antigua to see local life, textiles and architecture. Typically we visit San Juan del Obispo, pass Ciudad Vieja and then to San Antonio Aguas Calientes but guests can feel free to discuss with their guide and plan as they go.
Meet at your hotel by your private guide & driver for you 1hr transfer to the town of Comalapa. On arrival to the town you can see the famous painted mural that the school children of the town painted depicting major events in Guatemala's history up to the signing of the peace accords in 1996. From here, you will visit some local painters who continue the tradition of naïve paintings that the town is so famous for, and visit a local bakery to see how they make the small, rock hard biscuits known as "Roscas" that sell by the thousands each day in Guatemala. Finally, you can visit the wonderful authentic market of Comalapa to see the local people go about their daily life buying produce and goods still dressed in the traditional textiles of the area. You can also visit the small museum dedicated to the composer who wrote Guatemala's national anthem, who came from Comalapa. Lunch included for you & your guide.
Situated outside of Guatemala City, at the edge of Lake Atitlan in a hilly countryside getaway circling Catarina Palopo village, Casa Palopo is surrounded by a wealth of forest and volcanoes. The 8 rooms are adorned with the finest of linen and toiletries, and further equipped with to-die-for views. Sleeping in these impressive rooms is an experience like no other. Look forward to the height of hospitality, as the staff provides sincere and consistent service. Cuisine is enjoyable, though many opt for trying the restaurants in the nearby towns. Relax in the heated pool, and absorb the surrounding views. Or, plan a boating trip and get to know the lake which some consider the most beautiful in the world.
You will be picked up from the hotel & transfer to San Juan La Laguna Village where you visit a local textile cooperative to see the back strap loom in use and to see how they still dye with natural dyes. You will also visit the home and workshop of local naïf painters before boarding the boat onto Santiago Village for lunch. After lunch walk with your guide to find the house where the Maya God Maximon is living. Each year a different "brotherhood" has the privilege of taking care of their God so his location changes. Once with Maximon you may see local shaman performing rituals for local people and if you wish you can ask your guide to help you hire the services of a shaman for you to have a personal ceremony performed. After visiting Maximon guests can visit the local church and learn about the history of this very traditional town and also see the market and learn about the distinctive textiles and primitive art that is famous from this area. When guests are ready they will be transferred back to their hotel.
Transfer to the highland town of Chichicastenango (1 hr) with your driver. Observe local Maya people in their traditional dress going about their daily lives. Upon arrival at Chichicastenango, your guide will take you to the famous market where you can purchase local ceramics and crafts. This tour departs on Thursdays and Sundays only. Return to Guatemala City Airport (3hrs drive) after the end of the tour.
Enjoy a short flight from Guatemala City to Flores.
Airport transfer with private vehicle, and driver.
A Francis Ford Coppola Property. La Lancha is a warm, sun-soaked escape near Lake Peten Itza in Guatemala's Peten region, near the archaeological site of Tikal. The 10 rooms promise unhindered privacy, and a rustic approach to travel. Management has made it a point not to include televisions, phones, and internet, ensuring that all who visit will bask in the natural aura of La Lancha. Impeccable service and dining options make all meals an occasion, as guests tend to anticipate the fine cuisine prepared by chefs. Activities range from boat trips to hikes, so one may get in touch with both the land and the water in this stunning environment.
Pick up from your hotel and transfer with your driver and guide to Yaxha National Park.The tour begins with with a short boat ride on Lake Yaxha to the small island site at Topoxte. Next, explore the Mayan ceremonial site of Yaxha. Set atop a hill overlooking two scenic lakes, this is a picturesque site. Enjoy the sites and sounds of the howler and spider monkeys as well as many colorful tropical birds and other mammals in this wildlife area. Enjoy a picnic lunch on the beautiful shores of Lake Yaxha. Afterwards, you will head back to your hotel.
Pick up from your lodge and begin your privately guided tour of Tikal National Park. Tikal was one of the major cultural and population centers of the Maya civilization. Though monumental architecture at the site dates to the 4th century BC, Tikal reached its apogee during the Classic Period, ca. 200 AD to 900 AD. Some of these pyramids are over 60 meters high (200 feet). Enjoy some free time at the site and return to your hotel after lunch at a local restaurant.
Take a domestic flight from Flores to Guatemala City. Approximate duration is 30 minutes.
Not far from the most exciting sights and attractions of Guatemala City, the Westin Camino Real stands tall and grand. The hotel consists of 271 rooms, each cozy and equipped with all the necessities of home. European contemporary themes are utilized in the decor. Enjoy delicious cuisine offered at the restaurants, and cocktails that hit the spot on a warm evening in the city. Served in buffet style or a la carte, chefs work with influences from across the world. Take advantage of the range of facilities available at the hotel, which include a tennis court and spa, as well as a swimming pool and lounging space for interacting with other guests.

"We are home safe and sound from the best vacation I can remember. It seemed seamless to us but I know that you worked very hard to make our experience so good.
The guides and drivers were always punctual and reliable. They were very knowledgeable, personable, and funny. They provided us with very helpful information and helped us work on expanding our Spanish. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful and the rooms were very nice.
I especially appreciate our ability to update our plans while we were in Costa Rica. The zip lines were the highlight of our trip. I hate to think we almost missed out by not including it in our original plan.
You have made a friend and supporter for life. I will certainly recommend you to anyone I know going to Costa Rica. Thank you, again.
Pura Vida,

Drivers were always early and eager to please. Your wish was their command!!!Every tour included educated guides who knew how to make our experience fun and exciting! I loved having personal drivers and guides, as well as many inclusive meals. We will definitely use this company for future travels."

"Our Costa Rica trip was amazing. The whole family thinks its the best we've ever taken! Kensington did an excellent job of organizing everything. The two hotels they picked were amazing.
Arenal -- The Springs Resort & Spa was almost too good since as soon as the family saw it they wanted to cancel activities so they could take full advantage of all it offered. We ultimately did cancel the safari to give us a free day to spend a day at the spa, pools and Club Rio (riding the river in innertubes!). The activities Kensington setup were excellent and very adventurous. Our favorite was canyoneering (repelling), We were all terrified at the first drop-off! It's more thrilling the zip lining (also lots of fun) and river rafting (a blast as well).
Manuel Antonio -- The Preserve at Los Altos was very nice. It was like staying in a 3 bedroom apartment at a boutique hotel (same feel as Athenum in London but nicer). The drive to get there was a bit long but worth it when our driver made a surprise stop at the the "crodillio bridge". The tour through Manuel Antonio National Park is a must do for nature lovers (3 types of monkeys, sloths, etc). Our guide was excellent. If you go MA NP, try Kapi Kapi for dinner.
I'd highly recommend using Kensington (Brandi was our rep) for a Costa Rica trip. Thanks for hooking us up with them.
Have fun.

"Hi Erika
We returned yesterday from our wonderful Costa Rican vacation and I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed it. We loved staying at the El Silencio (the kids would have liked to stay even longer so we could have taken some of the nature hikes). Being surrounded by the cloud forest was an amazing sensation that really helped us to feel that we were in a completely different world and was a perfect way to begin the trip. Maria Lucia was a very kind tour guide and showed us the all sites in a huge day (the waterfalls, Poas volcano, the coffee plantation & Sarchi). The staff at El Silencio was wonderful and Jeff and I very much enjoyed the food and the very elaborate wine tasting there.
In La Fortuna the activities ruled. We loved everything, the exhilarating waterfall rappelling, the zip lining (& tiger swing - the kids LOVED IT) the volcano hike and we had a FANTASTIC time on the river safari with Gerald and his friend Tom. Gerald was a great guide and was able to share many stories while letting us see the wildlife. We saw a spectacular Toucan flock and of course the monkeys were a huge hit. Ending up at the farm was a fun end note to the trip. Of course we enjoyed the hot springs at the Tabacon - they are pretty amazing. Jeff and I had a chance to have a massage at the Tabacon spa and it was spectacular. The service at the hotel was lovely and our room did have a beautiful view of the volcano. I think the hot springs & spa are far superior at the Tabacon.
Alex drove us from both El Silencio to La Fortuna and then from La Fortuna to Punta Islita (that is a lot of driving and he did a great job - he was so friendly and made the travelling very enjoyable). On the way to La Fortuna he made a point of showing us the Iguana restaurant and it was a great wayside stop for everyone.
Punta Islita was stunning. Our villa Ilan Ilan was ideal, the view and the setting were spectacular. The kids loved the pool (when they weren't swimming & playing in the ocean), Jeff loved being able to finally drive around a bit like a native (the villa came with a small 4 wheel car), and I enjoyed waking up every morning to see the sunrise over the cliffs at the ocean's edge, and hear the incredible variety of birds (and on the last day even the howler monkeys). We enjoyed so many of the activities the hotel had to offer. Andrey & Hector and the whole staff were so warm and hospitable. They really worked hard and made every effort to make our stay so much fun. Hector helped us plan some more zip lining, surf lessons, a dolphin sighting/fishing boat trip and a sunset horseback ride which was the perfect way to wrap up the trip.
Ronald picked us up and got us to the airport in plenty of time. Ronald was very interested in showing us the wildlife as we drove through the different areas and we really enjoyed that.
Everywhere we went the people were absolutely wonderful, kind, and proud to show us their country and it made our trip spectacular.
Erika, thank you for all you did to help make the trip such a huge success.

"Hi Erika,
We are home with many good memories from our stay in Panama.
We found your guides and drivers to be always on time and very instructive, especially in David/Bouquette/Amistad. We liked the Panamonte Hotel in Bouquette.
Since the Amistad Park was closed due to rain on the day we arrived, we toured a Race horse breeding farm, Cerre Punte, which was magnificent and might be a consideration for your future guests
Your choice of itinerary in Panama City was quite informative and complete considering the limited time we had.
All in all, we were quite pleased with Kensington Tours in general.
Many Thanks,
Anthony and Barbara

P and I want to thank you so much for all of your help in setting up our trip! It was a wonderful week in Panama--we loved every minute. And we especially appreciated you taking care of the hotel reservation glitch. Your partner in Panama was really great to work with--they did a wonderful job and were very professional. Everything worked like clockwork with them. We look forward to working with you again!
Warm regards,

"My husband and I are "Boomers" and veteran world-wide travelers, from our early days with Eurail passes and VW Vans to the present! As such, we are not content with the group tours that "herd" you around and show you the tourist photo-op sites. However, as a busy medical professional I don't have time to carefully put together the type of trip that we want to have in places we have never been before. What a delight and relief to have discovered Kensington tours! Our trip to Costa Rica was the epitome of personalized, professional, and exceptional service. All our drivers and guides were wonderful - Barbara Franz, our naturalist guide in Manuel Antonio National Park was a standout. Our hotels and lodges in San Jose, Tortuguero, Monteverde, and Manuel Antonio were unique, lovely, and very comfortable. We are recommending Kensington to all our friends and are already trying to decide where we will go next. Maybe Africa, maybe New Zealand! We cannot say enough about Kensington's commitment to excellence! When it can be hard to wade through the mediocre, such professionalism is refreshing. Thank you Brandi for all you did to make our trip memorable!"

"Hi Brandi-
Ariana & I absolutely LOVED our trip to Costa Rica. This trip was even better than we had hoped or expected. The quality of the different hotels was excellent, and I was quite frankly surprised at how "deluxe" our rooms were when I was expecting more "average" type of lodging. We were thrilled & loved each place we stayed and we have told all our friends & family about this exceptional customer service. The tour guides were AMAZING, so knowledgable, friendly, spoke great English, & were willing to help us learn Spanish & the culture. We were so happy that we were able to do the different activities-- Canyon Rappelling in Arenal, Venado Cave Tour near Arenal, ziplining in Monteverde, The Springs, and the different rainforest tours. All these activities-- and the other activities along the way-- were WONDERFUL, and we felt very safe and well-cared for during our excursions. The travel arrangements & private vehicles were great- we were very comfortable & the drivers were very professional & prompt. We were treated so well that we felt like royalty!
I am telling all my friends, co-workers, family members and my patients ( I work in a dental office) about how wonderful the Costa Rica trip was with my daughter & how great the service & planning was with Kensington Tours. I have given your name to several people & hope that you'll get referrals from those I've talked with! I am definitely planning on traveling abroad again and plan to go through you and Kensington Tours when I do. My next goal is to plan a trip (maybe Europe or return to Costa Rica?) for my teenage son & I to do together in the next year or so.
My sincerest gratitude to you for making our Costa Rica trip SPECTACULAR! Well done! Below, you will see my responses to the survey (as you can see, I'm not very prompt about checking email, but eventually I get around to it!) you sent a few days after we arrived back home. Let me know if there's any problems reading my responses-- I rated everything "excellent" because that's what it was/is!
Thanks again!

Darmanitan is one of the strongest Pokemon in the UU metagame, boasting not only a giant base 140 Attack stat but also a Sheer Force boost on many powerful moves. It resides in a good Speed tier, comfortably ahead of notable Pokemon such as Heracross, Roserade, Krookodile, and Adamant Arcanine. However, Darmanitan suffers from a weakness to Stealth Rock, and its most powerful move, Flare Blitz, deals heavy recoil damage. Furthermore, its frailty, weakness to common attacking types, and lack of good resistances means it's hard to switch Darmanitan into battle. Its sweeps are impeded by a few Pokemon that can switch in without care and take any hit from it, and many of those Pokemon can even heal to prevent gradual weakening. Even so, Darmanitan has one of the most powerful attacks in the game and is definitely a force for which one should prepare.
This is by far Darmanitan's most dangerous set. Its massive Attack stat combined with Sheer Force and Life Orb boosts rips through slower teams. Flare Blitz is Darmanitan's power move. It deals massive damage even to Pokemon with a Fire-type resistance and plows through any Pokemon without one. Rock Slide gets acceptable coverage beside Flare Blitz, hitting opposing Fire-types for super effective damage. With the Sheer Force boost, Rock Slide is almost as powerful as Earthquake and Stone Edge, and because it gets the Sheer Force boost, Darmanitan will not take recoil damage from Life Orb when using it. This reduces the passive damage Darmanitan takes, as well as allowing it to bluff a Choice set. Superpower rounds off Darmanitan's coverage by hitting Rock-types, such as Rhyperior, as well as bulky Normal-types such as Snorlax and Porygon2. U-turn allows Darmanitan to keep momentum by switching out of hard counters, while also dealing super effective damage to Slowbro, who could easily switch in otherwise.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
With a Choice Scarf equipped, Darmanitan can run through offensive teams with its heightened Speed. Flare Blitz is incredibly powerful with a Sheer Force boost added to its already high Base Power, and offensive teams often lack a good switch-in to it. U-turn allows Darmanitan to keep momentum on its side and does decent damage to Slowbro, who would otherwise be a great switch-in to Darmanitan. Rock Slide gets decent coverage beside Flare Blitz, hitting for super effective damage on both Fire-types that resist Flare Blitz and Flying-types without inflicting recoil damage. Earthquake gets even better coverage with Flare Blitz, as it hits both Rock-types and Fire-types that resist Darmanitan's Fire-type STAB for super effective damage. Superpower also hits Rock-types hard and comes with the benefit of breaking bulky Normal-types such as Snorlax and Porygon2. Fire Punch can be used alongside Earthquake as a reliable STAB without recoil. However, Darmanitan then lacks a reliable way to beat Snorlax.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
While Darmanitan only has a couple effective sets, it has a huge movepool. Encore can lock defensive Pokemon into a support move and prevent them from walling Darmanitan. Yawn can cripple a potential counter and possibly remove it from the battle due to the resetting sleep mechanics. Will-O-Wisp can ruin physical attackers that might switch into Darmanitan, such as Rhyperior and Swampert. Darmanitan can try a Substitute + Focus Punch set, but it lacks the power of its other sets. Belly Drum is very risky, but also very powerful, and it can turn Darmanitan into a powerful sweeper. Zen Mode is an interesting gimmick, but the low Speed makes it very bad.
Checks and Counters
Slowbro is the number one counter to Darmanitan as it resists Darmanitan's STAB and takes almost no damage from any of its coverage moves once Regenerator is taken into account. Slowking works similarly, but its lower Defense stat means it'll be forced to use Slack Off more often. Suicune and Milotic are two other defensive Water-types that can take hits from Darmanitan with relative ease. However, Suicune lacks a reliable recovery move, which means that it will eventually resort to using Rest. Similarly, Swampert can switch into Darmanitan a finite number of times before entry hazards and U-turn wear it down to Flare Blitz's KO range. Rhyperior also resists Darmanitan's Fire-type moves, and can take a hit from Superpower and/or Earthquake thanks to Solid Rock and its huge Defense stat. Flygon can always serve as a good check to Darmanitan, as it will never be OHKOed by any of Darmanitan's moves (barring a critical hit or prior damage), outspeeds, and OHKOes with its STAB Earthquake. Due to the huge threat Darmanitan poses to nearly every team, its always a good idea to pack at least one Pokemon can can revenge kill it. Azumarill can do so with its STAB Aqua Jet, while common Choice Scarf users, such as Mienshao, can simply outspeed and OHKO.

For sun protection inside your car any time of year, this multi-fitting car sunshade for rear windows helps protect from strong sunlight, UV and glare. The Auto-Shade is so simple to attach and leaves no residue marks, proving to be the unique solution for trips out in the car on sunny days.
The Outlook auto-shade provides UV sun protection, and relief from glare and heat. With an adjustable strap that secures under or around the door handle, it ensures the shade never "rides up".
This car shade fits over the entire rear door window frame and can be interchanged between most family vehicles to keep children safe in the sun. On those sunny days the windows can still be lowered for cool ventilation, even with the auto-shade fitted.
Does everything it says on the package. Rather annoyingly it flaps in the wind or when traveling over 10mph
Much better than any other car blinds we've had (those that stick on with suction pads) as they block out sun across the whole window, plus you can have the window open with them in place. But they are noisy when travelling at speed (the bit outside the window vibrates). Visibility is also reduced - more like driving a van - but that goes with blocking the sun out effectively.
Great quality, and works when windows wound down as goes over frame. Just check it is pulled tight so that it doesn't flap (and annoy husband!) Boys happy as they can still see out of window. Much better than the muslin I was using. Think it will last ages. Can be bought as a single or a pair, and with rounded top or rectangular to best fit your car.
I brought this product to help cool my car down for my dog, I am very pleased with it I can wind the windows down and let air in and its sturdy so my dog can't get out ( I don't leave my dog in the car in hot weather)
Standard sunblinds dont allow you to open the window & still let in a certain degree of sunlight. These don't & they are so easy to fit & don't fall off like a standard blind often does. Great product, wish I discovered them years ago!

Redbirds Defeat Drake 81-57, Collect Sixth Valley Win
Follow @ISURedbirds Tweet #ISUATH
February 8, 2013
NORMAL, Ill. - Four Redbirds scored in double-figures as Illinois State (14-8, 6-4 MVC) opened its two-game home stand with an 81-57 victory over Drake (7-14, 2-8 MVC) on Doug Collins Court at Redbird Arena Friday night. The victory marked the fourth time this season Illinois State has scored at least 80 points in a game and 12 different Redbirds saw minutes.
Jamie Russell led the Redbirds with 16 points, joining Janae Smith (15 points), Maddie Oliver (13 points) and Brianna Puni (15 points) in double-figures as Illinois State shot 59-percent from the floor as a team. The Redbirds outscored Drake 48-22 in the paint and tallied 23 assists on 35 baskets. Puni tied a career-high with nine rebounds and ISU forced 23 turnovers in the victory. Ashley Bartow paced Drake with a game-high 17 points and the Bulldogs shot 38-percent from the floor as a team.
Oliver, who came into the contest averaging five points-per-game, scored six of the first eight points of the night for Illinois State. Both teams battled to a 10-10 tie at the under-16 media timeout before Russell's three-point basket sparked a 9-2 ISU run that built the Redbirds lead to 20-12 with 11:29 to go in the opening half. Candace Sykes responded with back-to-back baskets as Illinois State went on a 12-2 run to lead 32-16 with 8:21 to go.
Alexis Jenkins' layup with 3:45 to play in the opening half snapped a 6-0 Drake run that included a four minute stretch without an Illinois State basket and put the Redbirds in front 34-24. Drake cut the deficit to eight points before Russell's spinning layup put Illinois State in front 38-28 with one minute to play. Puni added a layup and Illinois State made a late defensive stop to go into halftime leading 40-28. The Redbirds shot 58-percent from the floor in the opening half and collected nine steals, leading to 16 points-off-turnovers.
Oliver opened the second half scoring for Illinois State, netting the first five points of the half for the Redbirds on a layup and a three-point foul play. Katy Winge and Smith added baskets as Illinois State opened the half on a 13-0 run, building its lead to 53-28 with 14:30 to play in regulation. Drake did not score its first basket of the half until Stephanie Running's jumper at the 14:20 mark.
Drake cut the deficit to 60-44 before Illinois State went on a 15-0 run to make it 75-44 with 3:40 to go. Russell, Puni, Winge, Nelson and Smith all scored as Illinois State held Drake without a basket for 5:23, before Alexis Eckles' made free throw.
The victory improved Illinois State to 34-33 all-time versus Drake, including a 20-12 mark in Normal.
The Redbirds will continue Missouri Valley Conference play versus Creighton on Sunday, Feb. 10, with a 2:05 p.m. (CST) tip against the Bluejays in the Play4Kay game. The contest will be televised Comcast SportsNet Chicago. Tickets for all remaining Redbird home basketball games can be obtained by calling (309) 438-8000.

Hue Knew?!1 of 13
The idea of "feeling blue" is more literal than you might think. Believe it or not, colors can affect our moods and feelings, giving us a needed energy boost when we feel sluggish or even making us anxious the moment we walk into a room painted a certain hue. However, everyone has at least one "power color"—sometimes a whole spectrum of 'em!—that's based on their astrological sign and can bring out their best qualities. Read on to find the shade that makes you shine.
Aries2 of 13
Aries—fiery, energetic, impassioned Aries––rules the color red. Considered a stimulant, red evokes action and confidence, which you exhibit in true Arian style. The color is also an attention grabber, and you're not afraid to wear it. A pair of red skinny jeans are a must have in your closet, along with a wealth of red accents.
Taurus3 of 13
Taurus rules the color green. Soothing and serene, green represents growth, love, renewal, springtime and prosperity. Stay away from the lighter or yellow shades of green; yours is a much earthier hue.
Gemini4 of 13
Energetic Gemini is bright and multicolored, but the sign's signature shade is yellow. Optimistic and young at heart, Geminis have a cheery and warm disposition that is complemented by their color. What's more, yellow promotes communication, and you love to talk.
Cancer5 of 13
Cancer's power colors are the shades of the moon, silver and white, which will look stellar against your summer glow. Incorporate these colors into your style with a pair of white jeans or a silky silver top—heck, wear them together for the full Cancer effect. Or experiment with your makeup: Try a shimmery eye shadow or liner next time to you get dolled up.
Virgo6 of 13
As an earth sign, Virgo's colors are beiges, tans, browns and greens, which are very soothing to the sign's anxious temperament. Surround yourself with earthy hues by repainting your living room walls a light beige or tan with the occasional dark brown accent. Or, if you're in need of new furniture, a plush chocolate couch will offer the perfect place to unwind after work.
Leo7 of 13
Turn to your power colors, gold and orange, to accent your kingdom. For an elegant look, paint a single wall a rich hue or fill your space with warm decorative details. Leos love foreign cultures, so play up the bronzed gold touches with Indian statues or Moroccan throw pillows and blankets.
Libra8 of 13
Libra's colors are soothing blues tones. Chances are you look great in navy, go for dark blues instead of black, especially when it comes to blazers and suits. If your wardrobe is a little more casual, then try a pair of navy wide-legged trouser pants or pick up a sapphire-toned scarf.
Scorpio9 of 13
A Scorpio's power colors are red and black. Known for their hypnotizing eyes, Scorpios should play up their best feature with some smoky shadow. And you may as well go all out and paint your lips red for a full-on sexy effect.
Sagittarius10 of 13
For having such a sunny disposition, the colors associated with Sagittarius—rich purples, maroons and navy hues—are surprisingly moody. Which actually work for you because, being as outspoken as you are, you don't need to draw more attention to yourself with bright accessories.
Capricorn11 of 13
Like fellow earth signs, Capricorn's colors of choice are dark browns and greens—nothing flashy for this surefooted sign, who prefers the traditional over the exotic.
Aquarius12 of 13
Exciting and imaginative, Aquarians prefer watery colors like turquoise, blue-greens and shiny silver to more earthy tones. Chunky necklaces or shimmery earrings in these colors look great with a white T-shirt and jeans.
Pisces13 of 13
The imaginative fish never shies away from color, preferring cooler hues to bright oranges and reds. Pisces' best colors are soft sea greens, lilac, mauve and light shades of blue. Get creative with your makeup and highlight your luminous eyes with your shimmering colors.

After Innocence

Life again?by Opinion Staff
Just as a Palm Beach County judge was handing down multiple life sentences to three young males for a heinous crime, five even younger males were charged with another heinous crime.
The sentences were for the 2007 gang-rape of a woman in a West Palm Beach housing project. The attackers also forced the women and her 12-year-old to have sex. The new charges are for setting on fire a 15-year-old boy, supposedly over a money dispute. The boy was burned over 75 percent of his body.
The parents of the accused, predictably, are in a mixture of shock and denial. The authorities have to sort things out, but it seems inevitable that Florida is facing another case where a very young person could face life in prison, an issue before the Supreme Court.
We favored life sentences for the Dunbar attacks. The same may hold true for those accused in the Deerfield Beach. If convicted, should they get life in prison? Take our poll.

Digital Literacy
Video Info & Transcript
Video Transcript
Imagine for a moment what it's like not knowing how to read or write. The world becomes much more difficult to navigate and understand. While people around you use written words to apply for jobs and follow instructions, you can't understand or communicate as well, and this can prevent you from succeeding. Literacy matters.
Literacy also comes in many forms. For example, being literate in healthcare may mean you have learned and understand the terminology and gained skills to communicate and be a productive and responsible part of the healthcare community. This is a kind of literacy that makes the healthcare community stronger.
But there is a new kind of literacy that touches almost everyone in our modern world. It's not related to a specific industry or job title. This literacy matters to both young and old and has become more important as computers and electronic devices have become more of a necessity in daily life.
I'm talking about digital literacy - the ability to use technology to navigate, evaluate and create information. By looking back at history we can understand what this means.
Basic literacy used to be a privilege. Books and publications were rare and expensive compared to today and success didn't necessarily depend on the ability to read and write.
Over hundreds of years, as the world became more oriented around the written word, literacy became a requirement for success in almost any field and societies with literate citizens prospered.
Similarly, technology used to be a privilege. Computers and devices were rare and expensive compared to today - and the ability to use them wasn't always expected or necessary.
But over the past 30 years, technology use has exploded and touched nearly every business, school and community. Many of us now carry powerful computers in our pockets and use the Internet everyday.
This explosion of technology and digital information has helped individuals and societies achieve great heights, but its quick adoption has also left many behind.
This is why digital literacy matters - it is becoming a requirement for success in almost any field.
Nearly every job today now requires some form of technology use, from email to basic research. Neighbors and friends depend on technology for communication and organizing events. So much of how we learn and express ourselves is now made easier by technology. And it's not just gadgets and websites - digital literacy means using technology thoughtfully and responsibly.
Today, digital literacy is not a privilege or just a convenience - it's an expected and often required part of being a productive and responsible citizen.
By inviting more people to become digitally literate, we can improve our own future in the way basic literacy improved societies in the past.
What it teaches
Literacy comes in many forms. As the adoption of computers, mobile devices and the Internet has grown, digital literacy has become more important than ever. This video will help your audience understand the potential of digital literacy in our societies.
It teaches:
• Why literacy matters
• The basic ideas of digital literacy
• Why digital literacy is becoming a requirement
• How digital literacy impacts all parts of life
• The potential of working towards digital literacy in societies

Going to Bat for CAT
Quad/Graphics gives CAT '07 engines a test run.
"We have been testing with ultra low sulfur fuel from the beginning with our field units, so the data that we're getting back on those engines is as close to 2007 as we can get. In fact, as far as the engines are concerned, it is 2007—because we've been using the fuel and the fluids, and driving them just like they will be come January 1st," Phelps says.
Maintaining the Change
Since preparedness is the name of the game for '07—especially after the debacle of 2002—training has become a huge part of the overall program for the implementation of these new engines. CAT has taken a proactive approach to making sure the new elements to the engines don't come as a maintenance shock to technicians or OEMs.
"We've been doing some training with our service organization, our CAT dealerships, and our OEM partner dealerships for several months now," Phelps says. "The first wave of the training was online, which basically covered the systems of ACERT technology, and the components that will be part of the 2007 solution: the CGI and the diesel particulate filter, as well as the CAT regeneration system, our method to generate heat to regenerate the diesel particulate filter."
The next step of the training program, "Train the Trainer," involves the dissemination of this training throughout regional outlets. "We feel pretty good about the training on the people side of things," Phelps says. "We also have systems to be sure the parts that may be required to repair—if necessary—2007 engines, will be in place."
Does field tester Quad/Graphics feel as confident as CAT? Unfortunately, part of the experience is slightly lacking—Drake's maintenance shop doesn't do much heavy duty engine work, although he does assent that his oil changes have remained steady. "We're at 30,000 mile intervals, and we plan on staying there," he says. "We just made the switch to the new CJ-4 oil. We don't see any significant additional maintenance."
As for CAT's role in the maintenance end of things (Quad's engine work is done at CAT, or Fabco—one of the largest CAT dealers in North America), things seem to be running smoothly as far as the comprehensive establishment of CAT service networks. Still, CAT involved Quad in every technical element of repair when possible. "Were we fortunate enough that we could get the trucks back to Milwaukee, 90 percent of the time? Yeah, we were," Sondag says. "Those guys got a very good firsthand look at these engines in terms of maintenance."
Drake concurs. "The additional training we've needed, we've gotten from CAT. We have an extremely good working relationship, and our fleet supervisor in our shop is very familiar with the '07 engines, and he works with Fabco really well on them and can explain what's happening. Again, we take it right through Fabco for maintenance. Todd and I have a lot of dialogue back and forth on what's happening, what the truck is doing. It's a true partnership," he says.
The Drive
Many of the engine manufacturers have been stressing issues relative to drivers in their marketing for 2007. Mostly it's been a matter of passive regeneration, and assuring operators that the process will not require any effort on the driver's part in order to initiate. Drake, instead, refers back to feedback he has been getting from his operators in terms of power-related issues.
"Any new engine has a little bit of a power loss, compared to an engine that is broken in, and we saw that same thing with these engines when they were new—we saw a little bit of a loss in power. They still pulled the hills," he says. "We run loaded to gross weight, probably 90 percent of the time. We test out at 80,000 (lbs.), and the drivers can pretty much tell, pulling Mt. Eagle; if the transmission downshifted once, they were happy. That's the point that we got to… We got them to where they needed to be. I want to say each one probably has 150,000 to 180,000 miles on them now, and they're going strong."
The Finish Line
So because of Quad's positive experience in their testing program with the new Caterpillar engine, Drake is the perfect candidate to sign the order form for new '07-spec trucks next year. How many will he purchase? "None," Drake says. "We positioned ourselves to buy zero trucks in '07."
