À La Carte Excursions | General Information
Add To Plan
Experience China's historic and present-day traditions, cultures and lifestyles during this informative, half-day visit to Xiamen.
Depart the pier for the drive to the South Putuo Temple. Located on the southern outskirts of Xiamen, the South Putuo Temple was built during the Tang Dynasty more than 1,000 years ago. It is so named because it lies to the south of Putuoshan, one of the most respected Buddhist venues in China. Since 1924, the temple has also been the home and training center for men and women seeking the enlightened path to becoming a monk.
After entering via the front gate, you will walk to the Heavenly King Hall, which houses a huge laughing Buddha accompanied by four heavenly kings on either side. From here, you will take a leisurely stroll to the neighboring campus of Xiamen University, which is known as the most beautiful university in China. Upon arrival, students will join you for a walk, and talk about their life and studies in Xiamen University.
Next, you will take a scenic drive along the coastal highway. En route, a photo stop will be made at Xiamen's beautiful beach before attending an authentic Chinese tea ceremony. During this delicate and interesting tea ceremony, you will learn about the classification of different types of tea, and how the Chinese have transformed the simple act of drinking tea into a unique and refined art form.
Following your visit, you will rejoin your coach for the return drive to the pier.

Dr. Mehmet Oz recently got a dose of tough medicine after being publicly reprimanded on Capitol Hill for spotlighting certain dietary supplements.

Following a very rough couple of weeks, Camille Grammer says she's doing well – even without the support of her allegedly abusive boyfriend.
"I'm feeling great," the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star tells Dr. Mehmet Oz on The Dr. Oz Show Thursday, just four weeks after undergoing a radical hysterectomy for early stage endometrial cancer.
"Once in a while I'll get a little pain here and there, but I'm walking around," she adds. "I was able to go trick-or-treating with my kids and my life is moving forward and I'm feeling very well."

If Dr. Oz is hoping to become a contestant on RuPaul's Drag Race, he's got some work to do.
In these exclusive photos from the upcoming Sept. 10 show, the cardiothoracic surgeon goes deep undercover Tootsie-style to convince unsuspecting shoe shoppers to choose comfort over fashion – further proof that the good doctor is not ready for drag!
Originally posted 08/20/2013 03:45PM
Dr. Mehmet Oz proved that he doesn't just play a physician on TV when he rushed to help an accident victim hurt outside his offices near Rockefeller Center in New York City on Tuesday.
The cardiothoracic surgeon and host of The Dr. Oz Show hurried to the scene when a taxi driver lost control of his cab, driving onto the sidewalk and into a group of unsuspecting pedestrians. A woman, reported by the Daily News to be a British tourist, lost her left foot.
Dr. Oz said on his Facebook page that a plumber from New York, David Justino, acted quickly by removing his belt and using it as a tourniquet to stanch the bleeding from the woman's leg.

We have seen the future of cancer, says Dr. Oz.
Angelina Jolie's bold announcement that she had undergone a preventative double mastectomy has realigned our thinking about the disease, Oz tells PEOPLE:
"It changes everything about how the public will perceive cancer," Oz says. "She had remarkable insight into the challenges she faced, she embraced information, knowledge. She realized testing gave her power and she spoke very directly to women with some very sage advice, which I applaud. It changes everything on how we perceive cancer prevention."
"This shows us what the future of cancer will look like. What Angelina did was to change the dynamic – when a young, sexy woman electively, because of remarkable advancements in technology, allows some of her most sensuous parts to be removed in order to save her life so she can be here for her kids, that's a seismic shift."

Wendy Williams has lost about 20 pounds in the last year, but the talk show host says her accomplishment is about more than just looking good.
Williams says she has come to a place of self-acceptance – with food and her looks.
"It's not a big deal. It might not be right for everybody, but I am perfect the way I am right now," Williams, 48, told Dr. Mehmet Oz on The Dr. Oz Show. "I weigh 175 pounds. I am very accepting of my height and weight and where I am probably for the first time steadily in my life. I feel good."
Originally posted 03/28/2013 10:20AM
How do you lose more than 40 lbs. in six months after giving birth? Just by really, really wanting to – it's as simple as that.
Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi did just that, and says anyone can do it if they're committed to looking trim and fit again.
"I don't consider myself to be, like, a 'celebrity mom,' " the Jersey Shore star, 25, says in an interview airing Monday on The Dr. Oz Show. "I don't even consider myself famous. I just think I'm well known. And I'm very relatable, I feel. And I'm just a normal girl doing normal things."

Rosie O'Donnell could have died when she suffered a heart attack earlier this year, and she now says that deciding not to call 911 was a nearly fatal choice.
"I said to Michelle, 'I think this could be a heart attack,' " O'Donnell, 50, says, referring to her wife Michelle Rounds, on the The Dr. Oz Show airing Thursday. "She says, 'I'm going get you some aspirin.' By chance, three days before, [Michelle] had purchased Bayer Women's Aspirin. I chewed them, and then I fell asleep. But then I did not call 911, and I should have."
O'Donnell says she later learned that women often don't reach out for help during a heart attack. "Fifty percent of women, while having heart attacks and suspecting they're having heart attacks, do not call 911," she says. "It was the stupidest decision I ever made in my life."

These days, Valerie Bertinelli is looking good, feeling good and happily married to husband Tom Vitale.
But that wasn't always the case. On an episode of The Dr. Oz Show airing Monday, the Hot in Cleveland star frankly discusses her past drug use and addiction to food.
"[Using drugs] wreaked havoc on [my body], because one day I'm eating a healthy meal and the next day I'm just putting a bunch of white powder up my nose," Bertinelli, 52, tells Dr. Mehmet Oz during the appearance.
Bertinelli blames not taking care of herself on the fact that she had low self-worth. "I'm not being good to myself ... I'm not worth being treated well anyway, so I'll just treat myself even worse," she says. "I'm so glad I'm not that person anymore."

4.35/5 rDev -3.1%
This was brewed in a small batch at the request of the folks at the J. Clyde for their Burns Night dinner. I expect we'll see it come around again.
It's pretty spot on for the style. Super malty and caramelly. A bit sweet. I'd like maybe a hint more smokiness, but regardless, it was incredibly solid. Not too boozy, almost scary drinkable.

4.78/5 rDev +6.5%
Appearance: dark brown with subtle red highlights. Thick, clingy head that lasted all the way down to the bottom of the glass.
Taste: rich, sweet, caramelly, but not cloying.
Smell: caramel predominated.
Mouthfeel: very deceptive, it hides its 7.5% very well making this an eminently quaffable beer. I wouldn't try to session it, even though you might think you could!
Had as part of a one-off brew for a Burns Night dinner at the J Clyde. Those of us who have had this beer all expressed the same hope, that Good People will make this a part of their regular line-up.

4.33/5 rDev -3.6%
Tried this beer at the "Rythym & Brews" craft beer festival this past weekend. The samples were laid out on the table in rows in small cups, so the beer had time to breathe and warm a little bit. It was not quite room temperature when served. I don't know much about craft brews, but I'll try any beer once, and I tend to enjoy darker, richer beers (stouts, brown ales, etc.), so anyone with suggestions for a god brown ale, stout, scotch ale, or similar brews, please let me know.
It was in a small cup when I sampled it, so I have no idea how the head looks or how long it takes to dissipate.
Aroma was a little smoky, with stronger notes of sweet caramel and a tad of roasted maltiness. There were some other subtle flavors my nose couldn't identify, but I could tell right away it was something I'd enjoy.
Taste was great. Light carbonation, a taste of sweet caramel, but not overbearing. A good roasty malt flavor evened things out.
This is definitely one I'll be picking up from the package store when I see it.

ABOARD THE USS GEORGE H.W. BUSH — A drone the size of a fighter jet took off from the deck of an American aircraft carrier for the first time Tuesday in a test flight that could eventually open the way for the United States to launch such aircraft from just about any place in the world.
The X-47B is the first drone designed to take off and land on a carrier, meaning the US military would not need permission from other countries to use their bases.

Sharpton Slams Cain For Calling 'Cuban' A Language—Ignores Obama Did Same With 'Austrian'
Say, Al Sharpton: if Herman Cain lacks "intelligence" for colloquially referring to "Cuban" as a language, how about Barack Obama . . . who did precisely the same thing when it came to "Austrian"?
On his MSNBC show tonight, Sharpton mocked Cain for asking in an aside while munching on a Cuban delicacy during a campaign stop: "how do you say 'delicious' in Cuban?" Does Sharpton not know that Barack Obama, in a much more formal setting, addressing a NATO audience, said something virtually identical, wondering how a certain phrase was said "in Austrian"? Video after the jump.
How do you say "hypocritical double standard"--in any language?
AL SHARPTON: Herman Cain was in Miami today. And Herman Cain did it again. I didn't think he could, but he did. He talked about freeing Cuba. Now we all know he's had challenges in foreign policy. Let me show you this.
Cut to a clip of Cain at a campaign event, munching on a Cuban delicacy. A man in the crowd explains it's called "croquetta."
HERMAN CAIN: Croquetta. How do you say delicious in Cuban?
SHARPTON: I mean, how do we, how do Americans take this as a serious process, when you see people like these people. I mean, what are we really, really talking about? In some ways, it's almost making a mockery of the process. I'm clearly not in the Republican side of the train of thinking, but I know some very intelligent Republicans. We try to argue and debate in an intelligent way. This is a mockery of Republicans that have some intelligence and know how to run a campaign.
Here's Obama [YouTube], in that speech to a NATO audience: "It was also interesting to see that political interaction in Europe is not that different from the United States Senate. There's a lot of, uh, I don't know what the term is in Austrian: wheeling and dealing."

Submitted by metaphorsbwithu on Thu, 11/17/2011 - 12:28am.
Actually, Cuban is different from Spanish.
I once tutored a Cuban-American student in Math who spoke "Spanish" but was flunking Spanish in High School.
I was at first taken aback but he said he was having problems because Cubans spoke diffferently and the Spanish in school was different from the Spanish he learned from his Cuban parents.
I'm sure the same could have been probably said about Sharpton in high school grammer.
Maybe he should release his grades?

Yes, it is quite possible to develop dyslexia later in life due to an underlying organic defect such as Huntington's Chorea, certain malignant forms of senile dementia/Alzheimers or certain brain tumors. While it is relatively rare, such dyslexias can also be the result of cerebrovascular accidents (CVA = stroke from blocks or bleeds) and acute head trauma.

Cain was right, and da Rev be wrong.
I speak some Spanish, and live among MANY Cubans, and trust me on this one. It might as well be another language, especially when they shift into hyper-drive while speaking. Since most of us slug down a couple of cafe con leche's (or worse) each morning, noon, and night, they are usually in hyper-drive.
Cain asked the right question in Miami. If he had been in Alabama, he would have asked how to say delicious in Southern. If he had been at a New York liberal, socialite deb paaaaty, he could have asked how to say "delicious" with your teeth clinched and faking a smile, daaaaling.

Now that the holiday shopping season is underway, I am retelling this story because it is one of my favorites.
It may have been my sixth grade year. The University of Kentucky Wildcat basketball team was having another great season under Coach Adolph Rupp.
I was coming up on my 12th birthday and Christmas would be two days after that.
I had seen a couple of older guys in our town wearing bright, shiny blue jackets with "Kentucky" on the back. They were cool.
I later learned that the shiny material was called cotton sateen and it was pretty fancy stuff in those days.
I wanted one of those jackets so badly that I put it on my list for my birthday and for Christmas.
My mother loved Christmas but she had a rule that none of us were allowed to go searching for presents and spoil a surprise.
One of our big gifts would mysteriously show up late on Christmas Eve but we didn't ask questions.
I knew mom's rule about searching but I was obsessed with that shiny blue jacket. It didn't show up on my birthday so it just had to be there for Christmas.
Mom was delivering food and gifts to a family in need and had left my brother in charge.
His head was buried in a book so I went searching.
Lo and behold, I dug into mom's closet and found a shopping bag from a local store. As I pulled it down from the top shelf, the bag tore open and I could see white letters on shiny blue cloth.
I was excited as I reached into the bag. That's when I noticed my brother and sister standing in the doorway, shaking their heads.
I threw the bag back on the shelf and tried to play innocent the rest of the day.

Greensburg Daily News
---- — GREENSBURG – The employees of Collection Associates helped the community fight breast cancer this past week when they contributed more than $500 to the Hospital Foundation to help fund Decatur County Memorial Hospital's Mammography Assistance Program.
The funds were raised through "jeans passes," raffles, and more during October to celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The group chose a local recipient in the hospital's assistance program, which helps fund screenings for uninsured or under-insured patients that meet income qualifications. "Our employees have some of the most generous hearts I know" shared Phyllis Quiroz, HR Manager for the firm, "With a great majority of women in our office, the subject has a special significance."
Michelle Roth, Operations Manager for CAI also related: "It's a cause that has touched everyone in some way, be it a mother, sister, or friend — and our employees understand that impact." The American Cancer Society recommends that women get yearly mammograms starting at age 40 and that they continue for as long as the woman is in good health. The ladies from CAI enjoyed a quick tour of the Hospitals newly-renovated mammography suite, which provides greater comfort and privacy for patients, as well as the new mammogram system purchased in early 2013. Carol Blasdel related the Hospital's thanks: "We're very thankful to the employees and everyone out at Collection Associates. This year we haven't received as much funding for the assistance program as in years past, and it's so wonderful to see the community respond like they do." Director of the Hospital Foundation Bryan Robbins also concurred: "Collection Associates has long been a supporter of the Hospital Foundation, and this is simply another case of a local business and its employees giving locally to help meet a community need. It's pretty special."
Women interested in scheduling a mammogram can call Decatur County Memorial Hospital at (812) 663-1156.

ANDERSON — Three churches have plans to expand following approval from the City Council to vacate two streets.
The council voted Monday to approve the request of Second Missionary Baptist Church to vacate Chase Street from 14th Street north to the alley.
Attorney Bill Kreegar said the church owns both sides of the street and none of the surrounding property owners objected to the closing.
"The purpose is to build a new church," he said.
Pete Heuer, chairman of the Anderson Board of Public Works, said no department head objected to the closing.
"We don't have any plans to see what will happen," he said of the proposed new church. "Since that is located on a state route (Ind. 32), the church needs to get approval from the state if they intend to use the right of way."
Council members approved the vacating of 24th Street between Meridian and Main streets at the request of South Meridian Church of God and First Church of the Nazarene.
Attorney Bryce Owens said both churches own all the property along 24th Street, which dead-ends at Meridian and Main streets.
He said the South Meridian Church of God wants to use the street as part of its parking plan and to provide easier access to the church for mobility-impaired people.
Owens said the church will be financially responsible for maintaining the street, curbs and sidewalks.
Andrew Innes, chairman of the board of elders, said there are no immediate plans to close the street. He said it wouldn't be until the fall of 2014 until work would be started.
The First Church of the Nazarene intends to expand on the west side of the existing structure.
Heuer said there were no objections to the closing by city departments and the Anderson Fire Department said access would be available on 23rd Street.

Ten Straight Leads No. 1 Tufts Over Bates
from press release
MEDFORD, Mass. - The Tufts University men's
lacrosse team scored the game's first 10 goals and went on to post
an 18-9 victory against Bates College in a NESCAC game played under
the lights at Bello Field on Tuesday night.
The victory is the 18th in a row for the Jumbos, who improve to 8-0 overall and 5-0 in the league. They were led by four goals each from senior Ryan Molloy (Setauket, NY) and Sean Kirwan (Boonton Township, NJ).
Bates, which scored a flurry of goals early in the second half to make it interesting, lost their second straight and fell to 4-5 overall and 1-4 in NESCAC. Sophomore Gary Guinta (Bay Shore, NY) scored four times for the Bobcats.
Kirwan and Molloy both scored twice as the Jumbos raced to a 7-0 lead after the first quarter. Both then scored early in the second period as the Tufts advantage was extended to 10-0 after Molloy's goal at 11:19. Bates broke up the run with their first goal at 2:19 of the second quarter, scored by senior Luke Charest (Freeport, ME).
While the Jumbos were dominating offensively in the first two quarters, they were also getting strong play at the other end from freshman goalie Patton Watkins (Chattanooga, TN). He stopped eight of the nine Bobcat shots on goal in the first half. Junior face-off man Nick Rhoads (McLean, VA) won eight of 12 for Tufts in the first half.
After the teams traded goals early in the second half, Bates captured the momentum with four straight goals to make it an 11-6 game with 6:59 remaining in the third. Guinta scored twice during the four-goal surge and Charest had three assists. Consecutive goals by senior Matt Witko (Chappaqua, NY) and Kirwan put the Jumbos back in charge at 13-6 late in the third.
Tufts then scored the first three in the fourth quarter to go up 16-7 on the first collegiate goal by freshman Peter Bowers (Contestoga, PA). Charest picked up his fifth assist of the game on the Bobcats' final goal scored by freshman Wylie Leabo (Belmont, MA).
Watkins finished with 16 saves before he was relieved late in the game. Rhoads won 17 of 28 face-offs, while Molloy's five ground balls were the Tufts team-high. Senior D.J. Hessler (Monkton, MD) had three goals and three assists, while Witko finished with three goals and an assist.
Face-off wins by senior Cody Newman (Montclair, NJ) were the catalyst to the Bates third-quarter run. He finished with nine wins. Junior Reed Brown (Portsmouth, NH) collected six ground balls, while junior Kevin Helm (Norwell, MA) and freshman Paul Donovan (Norwell, MA) both had five. Charest was the Bates scoring leader with six points. Junior goalie Adam Scharff (Glyndon, MD) made six saves.
Tufts travels to Trinity for a battle of NESCAC unbeatens on Saturday with a 1 pm start. Bates hosts Connecticut College on Saturday at 1 pm.

Riverside and Deer Park School District officials will not have to worry about another maintenance and operations levy election for the next three years.
Both school districts M&O levy requests were approved by voters this month and certified by various county election officials on Friday.
According to final results, Riverside's three-year request, which will generate about $2.88 million a year in local funds, passed 2,161-2,150 following a last-minute surge of "yes" ballots.
A simple majority is needed for passage of an M&O levy.
While Riverside officials had to play a wait-and-see game with the ballot count, Deer Park School District officials were in a less stressful place as they waited for the final ballot count on its three-year levy request.
The Deer Park measure, which will generate about $2 million a year in local funding (along with an equal amount in state money), passed 2,298-1,640.
The Loon Lake School District's four-year, $226,000 annual M&O levy passed 398-218.

1969 Shelby GT500
This rare documented museum quality GT500 is one of only nineteen 4-speeds painted Grabber Blue in 1969, Carroll Shelby's favorite color. This ranks it among the most collectible classic muscle cars on the planet and an irreplaceable piece of automotive history.
The 1969 Shelby was designed with several features that set it apart from GT500s produced in earlier years including side stripes relocated midway up the body side and an increased body length of 4 inches. Famous in 1969 for its unique five-scoop hood configuration, this car was special ordered with all the right options, 428 Cobra Jet, 4-speed close ratio manual transmission, front disc brakes, and 3.50 Traction-Lok rear axle.
The 428 Cobra Jet V-8
The 428 Cobra Jet engine made its first appearance in April of 1968 and was offered in Mustang fastbacks and coupes. It was based on the 428-cid big-car engine, but had larger valve heads and the race-brewed 427's intake manifold. The engine was rated at 335 horsepower at 5200 rpm, but true output approached 410 horsepower.
2014 Shelby GT500
This one-of-a-kind GT500 incorporates several design ques from its matching 1969 Grabber Blue predecessor, including a hand built one-off aluminum hood, quarter scoops, retro stripes, modified rear window configuration to match the look of the 69, and modified body panels.
The hand built one-off aluminum hood created for this Mustang is the only one of its kind. It was custom designed to match the iconic five scoop hood configuration of the 1969 GT500.
Ford tested the new GT500, a 662 horsepower street legal racecar, at more than 200 miles per hour! Its supercharged 5.8 litre aluminum V8 leaves the competition in the dust. Six speed Tremec manual transmission, Brembo brakes, tuned adjustable suspension, and launch control, make this race-worthy GT500 an enthusiasts dream.
This one-of-a-kind Mustang was designed with several other features including RECARO front bucket seats, a soft-one piece instrument panel, navigation package, rear view camera, and a shaker audio system with HD Radio Technology.
5.8 Litre Aluminum V8
The 5.8L DOHC 4-valve Modular V8, dubbed Trinity internally by Ford, is featured in this production supercar. The Trinity is based on the 5.4L V8 used in the previous model year GT500's, utilizing the same block geometry but receiving increased bore diameter. The PTWA cylinder lining technology first used in the 11-12 GT500 5.4 is retained in this powerplant. The 5.8 benefits from cylinder heads with improved coolant flow, Ford GT camshafts, piston-cooling oil jets, new 5-layer MLS head gaskets, a red line increased to 7000 rpm (from 6250 rpm), and a compression ratio increased to 9.0:1 (from 8.5:1). Boost is supplied by a 2.3L TVS supercharger, facilitating 662 ground-pounding horsepower!
