À La Carte Excursions | General Information
Add To Plan
Driving to Ephesus, you can almost feel modern civilization slipping away as you enter a world firmly rooted in the past.
Ephesus is esteemed as one of the best-preserved ancient cities in the world, and during your walking tour, you will see the remains of its glorious Roman architecture. Behold excavated treasures such as the Odeon theater, public baths, the two-tiered Celsus Library, and the nearly 24,000-seat Grand Theater, where St. Paul once preached. Known for its wonderful acoustics, the theater is still used today for musical performances.
Before leaving the archaeological site, you will have the opportunity to visit the Terrace Houses, which were inhabited by Ephesus' wealthiest residents. The houses are richly decorated with mosaics and frescoes and even had running water.
Returning to Kusadasi, it's your choice to enjoy some free time to shop or sit in on an informative carpet demonstration that shows the fine craftsmanship behind these luxurious items.
Please note: This tour includes approximately 2-hours of moderate walking plus any additional walking at the guests' discretion during free time. There will be uneven ground and a significant amount of steps to negotiate. The tour is not available to wheelchair guests and not considered suitable for those with walking difficulties. Weather appropriate clothing; sun cap; sunglasses; sunscreen; a bottle of water from the ship; and flat, comfortable walking shoes are recommended.

Have you noticed the flashing signs on valley highways this week, telling you to move over?
It's part of a statewide campaign and a statewide law.
The Department of Public Safety is sending the message to motorists statewide -- it's the law to give emergency officials, first responders and police officers room, but what most people don't know is anyone who puts their hazards on while they're pulled over is protected by the law.
On Wednesday, we got a first hand look at how dangerous it is when people don't move over.
While traffic on Interstate 17 was moving at a high rate of speed, on the side of the highway -- dangerously close to passing vehicles, was Joe Phillips, who was fixing a blown out tire.
"It can be disturbing," he said. "If I was on that side, I'd really be in trouble."
"If they are not able to move over, they're supposed to slow down, which they've done," said DPS officer Carrick Cook. "It's the people that go from the other lane and move into this lane -- that's violating the law."
Cook pulled over to help and to show us what to do when someone else is in trouble. He says during the month of March, DPS will observe what's being called "Move Over Mondays," an awareness campaign to remind Arizona residents they need to stay a safe distance away from flashing lights.
"Our highway patrol officers are very intent on observing these violations and pulling people over for it, not only to educate, but also to save lives," said Cook.
The move over law was put into place in late 2005 to protect law enforcement officers and emergency responders assisting the public. In July 2011, it was enhanced to include the public because stranded motorists and the tow truck drivers who help them are equally at risk.
Giving motorists like Phillips room on highways and local streets could be the difference between life and death. In the end, all drivers have to do is be aware.
Drivers observed in violation of the move over law can be ticketed and fined up to $180.

CLEVELAND, Ohio- The auto show season continues and the newest version of the Chevy Cruze is getting special attention from General Motors at the 2013 Cleveland Auto Show.
The soon to be launched Cruze Diesel has its own special platform in Chevrolet's display area at the Cleveland Auto Show.
At a news conference, GM executives called the Cruze Diesel an important new car in the GM lineup and that means a lot to the autoworkers in Lordstown.
"It's a testament to the members. It's a testament to GM and their belief in Lordstown," said UAW Local 1112 President Glenn Johnson.
Engineers say its 2.0 liter engine is the cleanest and best diesel GM has ever produced and will go head to head with German diesels that have dominated the diesel market.
"This is the epitome of high technology diesel engines," said GM Engineer Mike Siergrist.
The Cruze Diesel is the result of research that shows a large segment of consumers want a clean and fuel efficient diesel.
"Three percent of the small car market is diesel but it looks to grow to seven percent soon into the future," Johnson said. "So it's great to see GM and Chevrolet on the cutting edge of this technology."
The price of diesel today is over four dollars a gallon, but GM says its Cruze test models have consistently achieved over 42 miles per gallon.
A spokesperson for GM said that as gas prices fluctuate there is a price point in there where it makes good sense for somebody to buy a diesel.
The price for a well equipped Cruze diesel averages about $25,600, about $3,000 more than a standard Cruze, but it also comes with two years of free maintenance.
The GM display in Cleveland also features its other strong contenders in the small car market, the Sonic, Spark and the all electric Spark EV.

BERNADOTTE, Il.--A recent bridge collapse over the Spoon River is causing an environmental crisis in the small town of Bernadotte.
Hundreds of dead fish are being washed up at the Bernadotte Dam.
The dam is down river from the real source of the problem, a bridge collapse in Seville that sent 6 train cars into the Spoon River on September 16th.
Environmental officials are saying a rupture in one of the train's tank cars leaked thousands of gallons of corn syrup into the river.
Ralph Foster of the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency said, "We're estimating 16,000 gallons from the one tank and 4 to 5 thousand from the other tanks."
Clean up crews discovered the large leak after the train cars had been removed, but the damage is done.
Nearly 500 fish have been killed at this point most of which are Asian carp.
Railway employees are now working to clean up the dead fish.
Foster says the corn syrup is suffocating the fish.
Foster said, "As it degrades it uses the oxygen in the water not leaving enough oxygen in the water for the fish to sustain themselves. The other conjecture we've had is that it may coat their gills and cause them not to be able to breathe."
Oxygen is being pumped into the water to try and help the situation.
At this point the corn syrup cannot be removed because it has mixed in with the water.
Foster says eventually the corn syrup will become diluted and the water will be back to normal.
Crews will continue cleaning up the dead fish until the problem is resolved.

Reviews for Steak and Shrimp Kabobs
Sort By :
When we cook this, we always make extra for leftover and it tastes delicious.
I omitted the steak and marinated everything including the vegetables. Yum.
I absolutely loved these and so did the rest of my bunch! Great flavor they were definetly work the work! These are a keeper!
Whenever we make this recipe we double it right away for leftovers. It is the best! We just had it for Father's Day and the kids were all delighted and couldn't stop eating it. We also made the Mediterranean Potatoes which pairs quite well together.
I am so glad to have this recipe again! I lost it when our home burnt down last year. I have made this recipe many times and it is always a hit. I also make the marinade and use chicken pieces instead of kabobs.

REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY: Children do their bit for appeal
7:00am Friday 9th November 2012 in News
CHILDREN and staff of St Nicholas' Primary School in Marston, Oxford, have been encouraging people to dig deep and give generously to this year's Poppy Appeal.
Like many Oxfordshire schoolchildren, the pupils of St Nicholas' have witnessed the solemn sight of a repatriation as the cortege has passed through the county from RAF Brize Norton to the special armed forces department of pathology at the JR Hospital.
And it has made the children are even more aware of the importance of buying and wearing poppies.
St Nicholas' headteacher Rachel Crouch said: "Our school supports the Poppy Appeal every year by selling poppies around the school and at the school gate, and we have a special assembly with two minutes' silence to remember sacrifices made in the past and present by servicemen and women."

60th Installation Dinner Speech
Thank-you for sharing your Saturday evening with us as we celebrate the past, the present and the future of the Clark County Medical Society. My promise this evening is to follow Franklin Roosevelt's advice, Be Sincere, Be Brief and Be Seated. I'd like to share some thoughts I have about the current state of medicine in Southern Nevada and what we all can do to continue to make it better.
The leadership of the Clark County Medical Society comes from a diverse background of medical specialties. Each of us has had formative events or influential people that have molded us into who we are and what we do. There are stereotypes about different specialties and their quirks. Think of the gruff cardiothoracic surgeon, the meticulous oncologist, the passionate and caring primary care provider, the ex-jock orthopedist and most certainly the "nip tuck" plastic surgeons. I'm here to tell you that many of these stereotypes are well-founded but more than often than not, sterotypes are broken and you all know examples. I come from a military upbringing: having been born in a military hospital, growing up nomadically and then serving 19 years in the Air Force. Many don't really appreciate what plastic and reconstructive surgeon is and I assure you we all don't drive Lamborghinis and party the night away. Our specialty was developed out a need for reconstruction of horrible war injuries and the innovations based upon understanding of the human form are astounding. Although aesthetic plastic surgery is where many of us evolve to, we are all reconstructive surgeons at our core. The take awa is that the leadership of the medical society is diverse and well-represented.
A Few Comments About The Past
We still continue to fight the pervasive idea I heard when I first arrived in Las Vegas in 1996. It was commonly asked, "Where is the best place to get healthcare in Las Vegas?" The answe that was given, ....McCarran.... It didn't help when high visibility citizens left Nevada for their care for various medical issues. Everyone in this room knows that there is very high quality state-of-the-art care delivered on a day in and day out basis in Southern Nevada. Unfortunate outcomes or medical errors do occur in healthcare settings in eery city and state of our great country and these are far out-shined by the many successes and saves. Our job, as providers of healthcare, is to work diligently to recognize these potential missteps before they happen and learn at every turn.
The Future
Medical education and post-graduate training is critical for our future. We have the University of Nevada School of Medicine, Touro University. a...Read more

Question: Since you weren't familiar with Hedda at all, what kind of research did you do or how did you go about approaching the part?
Question: How would you describe the Hedda that you're playing?
Question: Since you've been involved in different productions of Chaplin, how much has the show changed or how much has your character changed throughout?

Colella: Well, I just got my hands on as many books as I could. There's a wonderful biography by Jennifer Frost called "Hedda Hopper's Hollywood." There's another great book called "Hedda and Louella." It's a biography of those two women. Louella Parsons was her big rival. And then Hedda's book, "From Under My Hat," has been a tremendous piece of source material for me as well. And then I tried to find as many things as I could on YouTube to get her voice and really get the feeling of her radio personality as well.
Colella: [Laughs.] You know, it's so fascinating because I've never been the villain… I'm having to fight and embrace the "twirly-mustache" aspect of it because there has to be some. I mean, there's no doubt. She's the villain, and there are some lines that are purely "twirly mustache," and it calls for it, and you just have to embrace it. But I'm also really trying to find some humanness in her and some vulnerability and really understand where she is coming from, rather than just being vindictive and shallow. She had morals and values that she deeply believed in, and I wanted to get a better understanding of what those were and what exactly she was fighting for, so that I wasn't just "twirly-mustaching" all over the stage.
Colella: The show has changed tremendously. When I first started in La Jolla, they had like half of a second act, and Hedda is mostly the second act. So it's grown a lot, and I've been very fortunate to be a part of that growth. And, watching [director-choreographer] Warren Carlyle and [composer-co-librettist] Chris Curtis and then [co-librettist] Tom Meehan coming in, and [music director-arranger] Bryan Perri, especially with the music. They've created it together, and I've been with them through most of that process.

Colella: Oh, man! It's incredible. It's definitely a tour-de-force performance. What he is doing is mind-blowing. If, for no other reason, I think people should come and see this particular performance that he is offering. It's incredible. And, not just the way he embodies the Tramp, the character—that's genius, yes—but he is making this a three-dimensional person and sharing so much of himself in this role. It's exquisite what he's doing, but offstage Rob is also such a tremendous leader. He has worked harder than anybody else, but he continues to show this gratitude for being where he is at all times...and this graciousness. And, his sense of play is completely infectious. He is one of the best leaders I've ever worked with.
Question: Since you weren't familiar with Hedda at all, what kind of research did you do or how did you go about approaching the part?
Question: How would you describe the Hedda that you're playing?
Question: Since you've been involved in different productions of Chaplin, how much has the show changed or how much has your character changed throughout?
Question: Do you have a favorite moment for yourself in the show, something that you look forward to?
Colella: I enjoy my big number in the second act, mostly because that's the most amount of stage time that I get with Rob. And, that, to me, feels like I'm right in the pocket. Every night that music starts, and I get a feeling of being in the flow state—like athletes feel like they're in the zone—I sink in, I look into his eyes, and I feel like I was born to be right here in this moment.
Question: Sometimes when you play a villain, reception at curtain call can be an odd experience. What's that been like?
Colella: [Laughs.] You know, they've been super sweet. Because I'm belting my face off, there's a big cheer for me, which feels lovely. Every once and a while, there's some boos interspersed, which also is incredible that this means I'm doing my job. It's pretty cool!
Question: Is there any talk about a cast recording at this point?
Colella: We haven't had any talk of that, but I really hope that they're able to preserve Chris Curtis' music. I think it's beautiful, and I'm really proud of what Bryan Perri has done with it as well. And, the orchestrations that Larry [Hochman] has done…We only have, what, ten pieces? And, it sounds like this huge full orchestra. I really hope that that's in the works.

With the help of 12 other fire departments, Shelbyville Fire Department battled a type of fire they had no experience for.
Tuesday afternoon lightning struck a large oil storage tank containing about 3,000 gallons of crude oil southeast of Clarksburg on 600N, about a half mile east of 2050E. The strike caused the top of the tank to be blown into the air, taking out a power line and barely missing a metal storage building before landing more than 100 yards to the east of the fire. The force of the landing plunged the tank three feet into the ground.
"It was a confirmed lightning strike - neighbor saw it," said SFPD engineer William "Perk" Wilson.
The department arrived on the scene about 2:20 p.m. and immediately began calling for help from other departments for water and foam chemical to smother the flames. More than 100 personnel and 25 pieces of equipment, including tankers, responded to the call. Local fire fighters have not been trained for this kind of incident, but knew that the fire needed to be smothered because water alone would only spread the flames.
"In my 31 years as a fire fighter, I've never seen anything like that," said SFPD fire chief Gary Lynch. "We've had small scale barrel training, but this was out first actual oil storage incident. It was pretty fast-paced."
Another concern were nearby tank containing xylene, which is extremely flammable, and other tanks with inhibitors, which were not explosive but were flamable.
The fire was contained to a 30-foot by 70 foot area thanks to an earthen dam around the storage tanks. It took a little more than four hours to get it under control.
"We had to use the water to keep those tanks cool," Lynch said.

Town Square
Dogs Ordered not to Poop at Hap Magee Dogpark
Original post made by Lassie N. Fido on Nov 16, 2009
Backstory: a stark, unattributed (but nicely-laminated) sign appeared recently at the entrance to the park, succinctly announcing that no further bags would be supplied by the Town. The sign did helpfully describe what kinds of volunteer bags might qualify for this important doody.
No word on when, or if, the Town will suspend waste removal, but Don Bothermie, Parks and Rec spokesperson, suggested to this reporter that his Department is considering a Carry-in/Carry-out plan, modeled on the National Parks wilderness permit program. He continued: "We've long had a BYOB policy here at Hap Magee, that has been very successful for the many stressed-out humans who use the park on weekend evenings. We're just extending its benefit to the canines, and to Bags."
The timing of the announcement is curious, as the Dogpark closes for the Season in early December. It is also not known whether users of the Town's other outdoor athletic facilities will now be required to bring their own lime for the sidelines, basketball nets and pitcher's mounds. It IS known that the local yokel who built and installed two sturdy holders for volunteer bags now regrets his decision -- he also routinely picks up "orphan" piles, which are now certain to proliferate.
Anyone with further information on this subject is encouraged to post it in the Comments section. BTW, San Ramon's several dog parks will continue to supply bags to (all) their users.

Really, are plastic bags so hard to come by that the town must supply them? You know, even when bags are available, you'd be amazed at how many folks let their animals turn our public parks into open-air latrines.
I regularly take my dog to the park to walk and play, and I have no problem bringing along my own plastic bags so that I may pick up after him. It would be great if everyone did the same.
on Nov 16, 2009 at 2:33 pm
Hey Ralph, good for you, but aren't you being just a little holier-than-thou and a bit self-righteous? Great, so you pick up after your dog with your own bags. There are other people with different needs, Ralph, so please stop thinking about yourself.
I, for one, appreciate the plastic bags that are supplied by our fair city, although I never use them. My dog, Schitzo, is what may be considered larger than average, part St. Bernard, part Newfoundland, part Great Dane, and if it weren't for the scientific fact that different species cannot procreate, I'd swear that he's also part African elephant. If you have read this far, I think you know where I'm going with this. That gargantuan mongrel poops prodigeously. I often wish that there was a market for Schitzo's most important talent and product, because then I'd put Bill Gates to shame. But, I digress...
Ralph, I also pick up after my dog, and the reason I don't use the bags supplied by the city is that they simply do not hold enough. I bring along a roll of large heavy duty bags and a wheelbarrow, and every 200 yards or so, I stop to collect my dear Schitzo's latest accomplishment. Instead of the city discontinuing the practice of supplying us dog owners with plastic bags, I think it would be great if the city could place rolls of 36 gallon Hefty Bags at 200 yard intervals. Also, if there are any under utilized public employees available (any ideas?), perhaps they could help with the larger piles and take turns with the wheelbarrow. But then, I'm describing a perfect world, and I fear that we won't find such perfection here.
Another idea...perhaps the city could also make available power backhoes or other earth moving equipment to assist in the pick up of canine waste. Yes, that would be a perfect world, indeed.

I am installing a front D44 front from a mid-70s Waggy in my 85 CJ-7. I have found some good write-ups on shortening the drivers side of the 44 to keep overall width the same. My current issue is that I want to convert the unit from the 6x5.5 Waggy pattern to the 5x5.5 CJ pattern. I have actually sourced a set of Ford outers, but am reading some things which concern me concerning later Waggy D44s maybe not being compatible because of some dimensional changes to the bearing. AS I am not sure of the year of the D44 I am now considering having a machine shop redrill some of the components on the Wagoneer outers to 5x5.5. Any opinions on the best way to achieve what I am trying to do? Thanks, hobbs

Dana 44 Front Axle Swap into 1985 Jeep CJ-7

Welcome to the forums, Hobbs, great to have you onboard and opening with this topic! The Grand Wagoneer axle has been a popular change, and you've detailed the roster of issues, including the wheel bolt pattern. Aside from the shortening of the left tube and clocking the C-support for the knuckle, both somewhat involved and requiring quality welding and measurements, the wheel pattern issue remains.
There are several solutions, including re-drilling the hub flanges for 5-on-5.5" and installing appropriate rotors, calipers, etc. This seems involved to me, and I'm note thrilled about a hub flange with extra holes! You mention Ford, there's also Dodge and I-H, etc. On that note, I like the I-H Scout II D44 front axle (Dana/Spicer 20 and 300 era as well), which many do as a simpler install and to quickly gain track width without major modifications.
Our fellow member, lastCJ7, has the Scout II front axle. I'll ask him jump into this discussion and air his approach and "why". The Scout II provides the wider track width, always helpful with lifting and big tires, it helps restore the center-of-gravity! You would then have D44 options (OEM to save cost) for the rear. There are many OEM D44 rear axles from which to choose!
We'll open this up to others. I'm here, too. RareCJ8 also has been down this road, although his ultimate solution was 3/4-ton Chevy truck D44 front and a Ford E-van rear axle, each with 8-lug wheels...See his Scrambler at these forums!
Welcome, Hobbs, trust you'll enjoy the community! Looking forward to photos of your Jeep, its modifications and your 4x4 fun!
Posted 22 October 2013 - 08:28 AM
I already have the Waggy front end, which is one reason I wanted to try to use it. I also have a set of Ford outers, which was going to be my solution for the 5x5.5. I have now read that Wagoneer D44s after about 76 may not accept the Ford outers (I always like to do research after I already have the parts...)
I had considered the Scout front D44s, but I'm not sure they are too easy to source anymore, but more inmportantly what I have read indicates they have 0 degrees camber, which isn't compatible with the Jeep. I have had a "darting" Jeep before from camber problems.
Posted 22 October 2013 - 09:09 AM
Gotcha...I sent notes to lastCJ7 and RareCJ8 to add more content here. The Scout II front axle camber is actually something you can control with the location of the spring perches to fit your CJ springs. As long as you do not create an excessive front driveline U-joint issue at the pinion, you can set camber where you want: 4-7 degrees positive would be plenty to control wander and shake. 4-degrees positive is often a good place for both U-joint angle and steer back to center, this is stock Jeep CJ setting.
I'll let others comment about your J-axle, and if information lags, I'll research and provide details on the best way to implement this switch to 5x5.5 wheel pattern...We'll get you going, Hobbs!
What's the plan for the rear axle? The AMC Model 20 is a great unit, most install one-piece axle shafts to eliminate the challenge of OEM tapered axle shafts with separate flange hubs. If you do plan to keep the OEM hub arrangement with stock axle shafts, follow the factory workshop manual method for tightening the hub nuts. (I also outline this procedure in detail within my Jeep CJ Rebuilder's Manual: 1972-86, available through Bentley and several aftermarket parts sources.) The torque necessary to meet the factory hub-to-shaft depth setting is often extreme and necessary.
Posted 22 October 2013 - 09:51 AM
I currently have the AMC 20 with one piece axles and some sort of traction diff, I think what it came from the factory with. I am looking Ford 9" back there, but finances are in play. Neither AMC 20 or D44 for the rear excites me much, but its last on the priority list at the moment anyway...
Posted 22 October 2013 - 11:31 AM
Hobbs, just a thought, but what about wheel adapters? You can usually get them for almost any bolt pattern combination, and wouldnt have to swap rotors and brake components.
Posted 22 October 2013 - 02:44 PM
I worry about the leverage caused by spacers with large rubber. I had thought about it, but I think the spacers are more in line with getting those oversized tires on some of the current street car looks.
Posted 22 October 2013 - 03:50 PM
last CJ7 here (Rich) I have a 1980 Scout 2 Dana 44 cut down front axle in my 86 CJ7. I have a 4" lift I had a local shop add 10 degrees to the knuckles. drives great down the road. As far as the Waggy front hubs if there is room have them redrilled. When I installed Ford 8.8 rear disc brakes I had them redrill the rotors to 5 on 5 1/2 (from 5 on 4 1/2).

Posted 22 October 2013 - 03:57 PM
the only mistake I did was I had the stock shaft resplined. I should have just gotten a chromemoly shaft and outer from the start. I did later, only on that side. I used the CJ outers on my Jeep as well as the CJ rotors.

I can tell you that the Waggy Dana 44 front has a thicker wall tube then the Scout II, and the tube is thicker then a stock Rubicon Dana 44 front axle. I think the shop cut off 3 5/8" from the tube and the axle shaft. Some people out board but this does not look right to me, plus I already had a HD steering link. later I did the tie rod flip (with insert) and went back to the stock pitman arm.

Posted 23 October 2013 - 07:26 AM
The 44 Rubicon front axle comes up short for axle tube size, as Rich notes. It also has the wrong wheel bolt pattern for your CJ-7. The Scout machining sounds similar to your needs, lastCJ7 would be able to qualify what route to go with the custom axle shaft(s), inner and outer pieces.
I prefer an AMC 20 over the D44, the 20 actually has a bigger ring gear and is an overall more serviceable design with better bearing layout. (These units held up well in the J-trucks.) You already have the one-piece axles, a hurdle crossed.
A Ford 9-inch, of course, has even better design with its outer bearing support on the pinion shaft. The 9-inch center-member is also easier to service than an integral axle. I did note the comment from Rich (lastCJ7) about the J-axle having bigger tubes than his Scout II axle. That's a plus. His idea of re-drilling the wheel hubs and confirming a 5-on-5.5" rotor match and proper fit would be worth considering. If your OEM rotors will fit the J-axle hubs, and if the calipers line up properly, this might work. Take some measurements and size things up.
Posted 23 October 2013 - 07:33 AM
Hobbs, you do raise a question about leverage on the spacers...It's worth pursuing their intent and use. Considering the wheel patterns, it would seem they're designed for light truck applications as well as cars after "a look". A call to Roadkill might be warranted, although lastCJ7's approach to re-drilling your steel hubs may be more appealing—and possibly less costly?
Posted 23 October 2013 - 06:53 PM
Spacers would sure be easy. Easy just never seems right... I will investigate it though. Over the next couple weekends I am going to play with the Waggy D44 and the Ford outers I have and see if they are compatible. Sounds like a worthwhile way to spend a weekend...
Posted 23 October 2013 - 09:24 PM
Let us know how the Ford to Jeep Dana 44 pieces fit up. If this works out, let us know the axle shaft, hub, rotor and caliper needs, which bearings and spindles you use, the location of the calipers and caliper mounts and so forth. It would be great to have a parts-correct blueprint for this retrofit—if it's practical. If not, let us know why this is not a good idea...
Posted 25 October 2013 - 06:56 PM
This weekend is dedicated to installing the rest of the Monsta-Liner interior. I have to say, for a do-it-yourself liner it comes out nearly as nice as Rhino lining does, for 20% the cost (but a lot of work). Much better than first generation stuff like Hurculiner, which really isn't very impressive.
Posted 26 October 2013 - 11:07 PM
Glad this material has come around...What are the safety precautions when using it? Trust you're using a respirator, at least...
Posted 27 October 2013 - 03:16 PM
Its a roll-on product, not too bad as far as vapors. I did underestimate how long prep would take. So prep is done, I guess rolling it will be next weekend...
Posted 27 October 2013 - 05:39 PM
Like to see how this turns out...If adhesion is right, this can be the best long-term solution for a Jeep tub's protection and ease of maintenance/cleaning...

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Police say a Louisville man caused quite a disturbance and had to be tased after he stole one pint of Prairie Farms chocolate ice cream.
It happened at the Value Mart near the intersection of Bardstown Road and Baxter Avenue, just after 4:30 Monday afternoon.
Police say they were called there after store employees said a man had just stolen merchandise from the store.
Officers later stopped 59-year-old Donald Doran, who was walking near the intersection of Bardstown Road and Patterson Avenue. When confronted about the alleged theft, Doran allegedly threw his belongings on the ground, "took a bladed, fighting stance," and started moving aggressively toward the officer.
That's when the officer drew a taser.
Police say Doran ran away, with the officer in close pursuit. Eventually, the officer tased Doran, but the taser was ineffective.
Doran then began to fight the officer, according to the arrest report.
Several vehicles swerved around Doran, police say, and the disturbance caused "panic and alarm" to people walking on the sidewalk.
Eventually, officers were able to subdue Doran and place him in handcuffs.
They were also able to find the merchandise Doran allegedly stole: one pint of Prairie Farms chocolate ice cream.
Doran was charged with assault, fleeing and evading police, menacing, resisting arrest, shoplifting and disorderly conduct, according to an arrest report.

You could say Marbury High School principal Billy Hollon is all business, efficiency is the name of the game. And if you add it all up this veteran educator is making a difference everyday, every year.
"You save money and have a plan," says Hollon.
It was Hollon who brought AP classes to Marbury High and it was Hollon who made a serious push to improve technology.
Student Levi Colquitt remembers a principal who was very much part of the planning of the new Marbury High School. Talk about being hands on! Hollon even does the morning announcements at school.
"When I saw him checking on the building of the new high school and making sure we had the technology, that impressed me," said Colquitt.
The physical part of the high school is impressive, but it's the Media Center that's Hollon's pride and joy.
This is where you'll find 9 Kindles and computers. You'll find a lot of empty shelves, a clear focus to move the school away from the past and into the future.
Melissa Beeson is the school librarian.
"The long range plan is for students to take the Kindles home to encourage them to read. These will last forever whereas books simply wear out over time," said Beeson.
The school's theatre department has also taken center stage under Hollon's watch.
"He has really supported the theatre in the way of advertising," said student Tracey Booth.
Not only that the average ACT score at Marbury has improved. In fact, it's higher than the state average thanks to Hollon.
Hollon is the kind of principal who would really rather not be in the spotlight. He prefers to work behind the scenes doing what he does best and that is giving his students the very best.

San Francisco 49ers running back Frank Gore entered Sunday's game against the New York Giants dealing with an ankle injury that limited all week in practice. Although Gore did play on Sunday, he was fairly limited and left for extended stretches of the second half. Kendall Hunter came in and matched Gore's six carries, providing more effective running in the second half.
At one point, NFL on FOX reporter Pam Oliver said Gore was questionable to return with ankle and knee issues, but Gore did return for small segments of the second half. Following the game, 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh declared that Frank Gore would be able to play next week against the Arizona Cardinals. Frank Gore indicated in a post-game interview that his position coach Tom Rathman had been holding him back to avoid further aggravation.
We'll keep an eye on injury reports this week to see if Gore is limited during the week. The 49ers host an Arizona Cardinals team that stunned Philadelphia on the road, but also still has a struggling defense. If Gore is limited, we could again see more of Kendall Hunter on the ground.

run small This slipper sock runs small, also the seam across the toe is thick and bothersome. I wear a size 8 shoe and got the medium, which is supposed to be 6-9. I do not recommend these. August 11, 2014

Vermont-Made Fleece Slippers are great slippers. Bought these slippers for elderly parent for evening and sleep comfort. Fantastic product for hard to please who is very happy with gift. Thanks Vermont Country Store. January 28, 2014
The product meet expectations I like the socks I bought. They keep my feet warm at night. One potential improving detail could be how your feet feel when you wear the socks: it feels as if something, not belonging inside the sock, is there. This is probably caused by the seams. Nothing serious, but comfort can be improved. November 26, 2013
Wonderful Socks Wonderful Socks !!!! I have very dry and bad feet. Throughout the night my feet escape the covers and get very cold, these Vermont Slumber Socks save my feet from getting cold and I continue to sleep. Thank You !!!! November 6, 2013

CATEGORIES Action, Casting, Paramount, RumorMonger, Celebrities and Controversy, DIY/Filmmaking, Newsstand, Comic/Superhero/Geek, Remakes and Sequels, Movies, CinematicalFor two years, Edward Norton and Marvel have been dancing around whether or not he'll reprise his role as the Hulk in The Avengers. Norton has insisted he's simply waiting by the phone for Marvel to call him up, and that he was eager to return to the character, but nothing has ever happened.
Now, Drew McWeeny of HitFix is reporting that Marvel plans to hire an unknown to play the Hulk in The Avengers. Reportedly, Norton even met with Joss Whedon (who, it must be said, is still unconfirmed but is actively working on the film) and the two hit it off very well. Norton supposedly even cleared his schedule with goodwill. But no offer has been extended to him. In fact, Marvel has made it clear that they're moving on and giving the role to someone else -- someone cheaper. McWeeny writes, "In early conversations, it sounds like a deal could be made here, and simply wasn't. Norton's desire to return to the role was so palpable at SXSW, and that was before he met with Whedon, that I can't imagine he would refuse to negotiate or find some way to satisfy Marvel. So the question is really why won't Marvel try to make Norton happy at all when he obviously brings so much weight to the team?"
It's whispered that Marvel plans to introduce the Avengers in Hall H at SDCC this year in person. One of these will apparently be the new Hulk. While that's an exciting picture, knowing that Norton wants to be on that stage but won't be takes the shine off it a little bit. The Hulk doesn't need an actor's actor like Norton, but it's awfully cool that one wants to play him. Why not fatten that lineup out just a little more, bring on Norton, and make The Avengers truly epic?
Does Norton's non-involvement in The Avengers hurt the film, or is it a non issue in your opinion?

Buster Posey broke out of his World Series slump in Game 4, hitting a Max Scherzer changeup down the left-field line for a home run. When Fox slowed down the replay of the home run, though, there was a curious bit of errata to note: Someone tried to catch the ball with their face.
This did not work out for them because their face is not a mitt. Rob Neyer wrote about it here, and that was the end of that. We would forget about it and move on to the next person getting hit with a projectile.
Wait! The epilogue! Over at Reddit, someone claiming to be the mystery fan has emerged. And, in a Metroid-like twist, it turns out that he is a she.
Lessons learned:
1. Your face is not a mitt
2. When writing about people in freezing temperatures, don't assume the genders. They aren't always kind enough to wear a pink jumpsuit or a Rush sweatshirt to make it obvious for you.

Dinner on the first night meet a lovely couple Rob and Susan and attempted to have a conversation but kept getting interrupted at least 10 times by the wait staff. I understand that the goal is try to push packages and get people to spend money...but at least let us get our bearing. Out of this we purchase a wine tasting package.
The wine tasting...well all the wines only one was any good...but we had a hard time hearing the staff giving the instructions because a table of Italian Ladies talked the whole time. And not until the instructor for the class battery to his microphone went out did he ask people not to talk or have side bars so everyone could hear.
Thank you for making the overhead announcement in English!
The food in the main dinning room was fantastic!
And the food on the buffet was fine if not a little limited in selections. The apples on the ship where bad...bitter, and mealy. The bananas where just nasty. The pineapple and cantaloupe was fantastic and sweet.
Thank you for restricting the areas where smoking can be done. I got to enjoy my balcony without the stench of cigarette smoke.
How Crown Princess can Improve:
They need to update their entertainment...it is all very dated.
Although I appreciate the lack of small children running wild on the ship and no animated characters bouncing around...YOU NEED TO UPDATE YOUR ENTERTAINMENT! Most of the time the Princess Theatre was 1/2 empty because the entertainment was not that good. Get out of the 60's and 70's entertainment.
Another thing: YOUR INTERNET CHARGES ARE OUTRAGIOUS! I understand as we become more frequent users of Princess cruises that free Internet is offered...but 79 cents is ridiculous...get a reasonable daily rate going.
The shopping on the ship could have more selection...felt the options where limited and clothing was dated. Do you really have to carry all of the
perfume? Get more options in there.
Lastly, sent some cloths down to the laundry and two of my husband shirts came back stained. One shirt my husband was going to wear to dinner and I noticed what looked like an oil stain on the silk shirt. Got with the cabin steward and he returned them to laundry to be taken care of...they came back still with stains and discoloring. Laundry tried to say that they did not launder the silk shirt because there was no laundry tag on it. The tag had been pulled off when my husband was going to wear the shirt and why would weleave it on to scratch the back of his neck. Now I have to submit to the company for the damage shirts. In the future I will use the pay washing machines on the ship instead of paying over $70 to get laundry done. Lession learned.

The city has been approved for a $791,000 loan and a $2,098,000 grant to upgrade its wastewater treatment plant and replace aging sewer lines. The Cordova Water and Gas Board will receive a $269,000 loan and a $106,328 grant to replace its existing water meters, which are read manually, with radio-read meters.
The official announcement was made on Thursday during a press conference at City Hall that was attended by representatives from the city and USDA Rural Development as well as local legislators and residents.
"This is a tremendous boost for Cordova," Mayor Jack Scott said of the funding, which is being provided through the USDA Rural Development Water and Environmental Program.
Scott added that the money will be useful in both helping the city recover from the April 27 tornadoes as well as in its seven-year battle with the Alabama Department of Environmental Management over discharging pollutants from the wastewater treatment plant into state waters.
Jack Drummond, chairman of the Cordova Water and Gas Board, said the new water meters will allow the board to be more efficient in conducting business.
"It's going to enable us to reduce our water loss and it's going to enable us also to use our labor better because we can work on other things," Drummond said.
USDA Rural Development has invested nearly $2 billion in Alabama since 2009, according to a press release. Examples of projects that have qualified for funding include essential public facilities, small and emerging businesses, water and sewer systems and housing opportunities.
"Rural Development's support for infrastructure projects like these in Cordova helps the environment, improves the lives of rural residents and ensures that rural communities have modern, up-to-date facilities and equipment," program administrator John Padalino said in a prepared statement.

NASCAR disallowed Clint Bowyer's Daytona 500 qualifying time on Sunday after his car was found to be too low in the left front.
Bowyer's team sent the No. 15 Michael Waltrip Racing Toyota through inspection after the driver posted the 22nd-fastest time of the session, but it flunked the height sticks officials use to make sure cars are within the rules.
After letting the car "settle," the team tried again but had the same result. Bowyer will now have to start his Gatorade Duel – he's in the second of the two 150-mile races on Thursday – in the rear of the field.
"Really very surprised," MWR competition director Scott Miller said. "I don't know if we got something stuck in the bleed hole in the shock, but the front just didn't come back up. It's all the same stuff we ran in practice, and it was coming back up.
"We'll go over there and get to the bottom of it and see what happened."
A NASCAR spokesman said there will not be any further penalties to the team, which is standard procedure in such situations.
Miller said the action was not intentional.
"It's never good to be in this position right here, but as far as the (Gatorade) 150 goes, you're going to be to the front and to the back of that thing," he said.

For its first appearance of the season at the Adrienne Arsht Center in downtown Miami, the New World Symphony chose a program that was traditional, Germanic and anchored by a star soloist.
The soloist Saturday was Emanuel Ax, who gave a strong performance of Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 4 that had a firm sense of early 19th-century proportion and ease.
There are some concertos in which you want to feel the performer's effort, in which the heroic conquering of technical obstacles forms part of the musical drama.
Beethoven's Fourth isn't one of them. Positioned between the thunder and fire of the composer's Third and Fifth piano concertos, the Fourth is Beethoven's most serene work in the form, and Ax's fluent virtuosity captured its unique tone.

text: The Spokane Chiefs dropped their first game of the pre-season in a 5-1 decision to the Everett Silvertips in Everett's Holiday Inn Pre-Season Classic. The Chiefs roster featured 13 first year players including Nakeh Lamothe, a 17-year-old from Edmonton who scored Spokane's first goal. The Chiefs also played four 16-year-olds who were selected in the 2011 WHL Bantam Draft; left wing Markson Bechtold (3rd round), defensemen Jacob Cardiff (7th round) and Colton Bobyk (10th round) and goaltender Trevor Martin (9th round). Everett scored twice in both the first and second periods and once in the third. Their first two goals came 1:15 apart when Stathis Soumelidis and Josh Winquist tallied at 8:40 and 9:55. Manraj Hayer made it 3-0 at 3:48 of the second and Reid Petryk pushed it to 4-0 at 6:24. Lamothe,Spokane's fourth round selection in 2010, put the Chiefs on the board at 2:28 of the third with assists from fellow rookies Riley Whittingham and Adam Helewka. Trent Lofthouse pushed the Everett lead to 5-1 at 8:46. Rookie Garret Hughson started in net for Spokane and stopped eight shots in 12 opportunities in 33:58. Martin was 12 for 13 in save opportunities in 26:51. Spokane outshot Everett 27-25. Neither team scored on the power play as Spokane was 0-6 and and Everett 0-4.

Montana Repertory Theatre's Educational Outreach Tour is proud to announce the opening of this year's Fall touring show - An Unladylike Battle for Survival in the Sunnyside Library. Directed by Montana Rep Educational Outreach Coordinator Teresa Waldorf, this two-person show stars Kristin Moriarty and Ryan Luwe in yet another hilarious comedy by Jay Kettering.
The play will be performed in the Toepke Center Auditorium on the Dawson Community College campus - Friday, September 21 at 6:30 p.m. This is a free event no need to reserve a seat just bring a friend and enjoy!
About the Play: The Sunnyside Library is no dusty, quiet place-a battle is raging.
There's a new librarian in town by the name of Kerosene Kevin and he's brought with him a novel idea-books are for burning, not reading. Fortunately, during this 50-minute play, you'll see that some of those living on the shelves of Sunnyside have decided to fight back. After a narrow escape from the clutches of Kevin (and only first-degree burns), Jane Eyre has appealed to the Shelf People, but she's only been able to recruit a small ragtag army. Among her troops are Esperanza Cordero, a young girl from the Latino section of Chicago; a spirited and beautiful Sioux warrior called Red Dress; and a literate spider named Charlotte. Together, they devise a plan to put a damper on Kevin's burning desire.
A life and death struggle has begun. Will the stories of these literary heroines continue to be told, or will they be snuffed out in flames? Stay tuned!
Director Teresa Waldorf earned her MFA in Acting/Directing at The University of Montana in 1991 and is an adjunct professor in UM's School of Theatre & Dance. Past UM directing credits include Gypsy, The Rocky Horror Show, Bat Boy, and Still Life with Iris.
This presentation follows in the Montana Rep's Educational Outreach Tour tradition of bringing staged selections of the works of acclaimed historical writers to Montana communities. This year's featured writers include Charlotte Bronte, E.B. White, Sandra Cisneros, and Susan Power.
Established in 1977, Montana Repertory Theatre has become one of the most respected professional touring companies in the country today. Recent productions include the highly acclaimed It's a Wonderful Life, Death of a Salesman, A Streetcar Named Desire, and To Kill a Mockingbird. The Montana Repertory Theatre has operated under the artistic direction of Greg Johnson, a member of the Acting/Directing faculty in The University of Montana's School of Theatre & Dance, for the past twenty-one years.

We enjoyed all of the sea days, using them to relax, visit the Mandara Spa, workout, and try the specialty restaurants on board. In our opinion, Le Bistro, East Meets West, and Moderno Churrascarria are all worth the extra cover charge. We also signed up for the exclusive Chef's Table dining experience that occurred on Day 4 of our cruise, and there is an extra $75 cover charge per guest . We enjoyed this exclusive experience and plan to do it again on a future cruise.
We especially loved the cruise staff on the Sun; our room steward, Fnu, was exceptionally attentive and we received towel animals each evening. The staff in all of the restaurants and pretty much everywhere on the ship were very friendly. We loved the Sun and still miss the wonderful service that we received.

Q&A: Building Germany's Jewish Future
It might sound counterintuitive given the traumatic history of the 20th century, but over the past few decades, Germany has boasted one of the fastest-growing Jewish communities in the world.
It might sound counterintuitive given the traumatic history of the 20th century, but over the past few decades, Germany has boasted one of the fastest-growing Jewish communities in the world.
From birth, 15-year-old Yana Taratun has been an active member of the Jewish community of Minsk, the capital of Belarus and a city about the size of Philadelphia.
This summer marked 14-year-old Galya's first time at Szarvas — JDC and the Ronald S. Lauder Foundation's pioneering international Jewish summer camp bringing together 1,300 children and teens from 25 countries — but the Turkish teen is no stranger to the idea of being a global citizen.
For years, young Arina, 9, and Rafael, 7, have attended singing and dancing classes at the city's Hesed — one of the JCC-style social welfare centers that JDC coordinates throughout the former Soviet Union. Their parents Irina and Rinat frequently volunteer at holiday celebrations and special events, tailoring costumes, scripting skits, decorating venues, and more.
Wiktoria Jachym, 16, is a proud participant of many Jewish programs in her hometown of Krakow, Poland — Sunday school, community celebrations, the city's innovative 7@Nite Festival, and more. But the high school student's favorite Jewish program by far is Camp Szarvas, JDC's pioneering summer camp experience for young Jewish leaders from around the world.
If you're one of thousands of Jewish tourists planning on visiting the Jewish community of Brazil while you're in the country for the 2014 FIFA World Cup this summer, you might be wondering what to expect.
Dressed in shimmering gowns and sparkling jewelry, the models proceeded down the runway to thumping beats and rapturous applause. But there was something slightly different about this fashion show: Half of the models had special needs, and their high-fashion designs were specially modified for their disabilities.
JDC's Centennial Dinner in Washington was attended by more than 350 people, including Administration officials, Ambassadors, members of Congress, and Jewish leaders representing the vast spectrum of Jewish community life.
For fashion designer Antonina Samecka, her clothing line is about more than selling trendy dresses and streetwise hoodies: It's about redefining what it means to be a Polish Jew.
Hundreds of people packed Warsaw's first modern Jewish Community Center (JCC) recently to celebrate the facility's opening – a remarkable milestone in Poland's astonishing Jewish renaissance.

Jasper Fire Chief Calvin Kluesner said the apartment where the blaze originated was reportedly abandoned at the time of the fire, but 11 of the 16 other units were occupied.
"Thankfully everyone got out the building OK and no occupant or firefighter injuries were reported," Kluesner said. "Only one apartment sustained major damage, but we had to use two ventilation fans to clear the smoke from the other 17 apartments."
Kluesner said firefighters had the fire extinguished within minutes of arriving on the scene, but the heat from the blaze melted some of the wiring so bad that power had to be shut off to the entire building.
"The building is like a concrete bunker. It was built out of concrete blocks and bricks, so the fire was pretty much contained to that one apartment," Kluesner said. "The heat melted the wiring in the area of the fire so bad we had no choice but to shut the power off to the whole building until it can be repaired."
Kluesner said the owner of the apartment building is reportedly assisting the tenants with finding alternate living arrangements until repairs can be made.
The cause of the fire is currently under investigation by the Jasper Fire Department and the Jasper Police Department.
