By STEVEN HOWELL Press-Republican
---- — MONTREAL — For the next two weekends, Parc Jean Drapeau is one big outdoor-musical-fest kind of place.
This weekend, indie music lovers will flock there to enjoy Osheaga from Friday to Sunday. Organizers recently announced a sold out festival — to the tune of some 40,000 tickets daily. This marks the second consecutive year Osheaga has sold out in the best of possible terms.
Evenko, the fest organizers, aren't in a rush to strike the outdoor stages. Up next on Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 10 and 11, is Heavy MTL, a festival dedicated to the headbanger in us all.
For fans of the heavy-metal genre — and the variety of metal substyles that it includes — Heavy MTL is a dream come true. This year's edition features 42 bands with an impressive lineup that includes Avenged Sevenfold, Rob Zombie, Megadeth, Danzig with Doyle, Mastodon, Black Label Society, Children of Bodom, Godsmack, August Burns Red, Wintersun, Steel Panther and Machine Head to name a few.
"This is definitely a more niche event compared to Osheaga," said Heavy MTL artistic director Nick Farkas, who holds the same title for Osheaga. "But we're one of the bigger metal and hard-rock festivals in North America right now."
Farkas said he's seen a nice progression of Montreal metal history with Heavy MTL, which this year marks its fifth edition.
"We get a lot of tourists for this one," he said. "It seems like with Heavy (MTL) we get a lot of people who have never been to Montreal before. And they're pretty impressed when they get here."
Farkas said that seeing hard rock and metal in a big outdoor venue is a good way to go.
"We like taking this genre to the fest level," Farkas said. "We like when the audience says, 'Wow, that's big, that's powerful, and that's the way we want to hear this music.'"
Loud equals good.
"It's got to be loud," Farkas quipped. "And this is the perfect environment. Jean Drapeau Park is just a gorgeous site and so conducive to people really getting a chance to enjoy world-class hard-rock music. That's the goal."
Programming a metal fest over the past five years has been an interesting ride for Farkas and his team.
"We're always trying to get enough of everything to make everyone happy," he said. "There's a lot of subgenres in metal and rock, but it's fun. We really enjoy booking and planning this fest."
Farkas doesn't rely on his own metal instincts all the time. He gets a little help from the fans.
"There's an immense amount of feedback from the 'heavy nation,'" Farkas said. They're really passionate about their music."
To accommodate that passion, Farkas said the lineup is a "bit more eclectic" that from past editions.
"What we've realized over the years is that we never wanted this to be a pure metal fest," he said. "We want to be able to do things that weren't traditional metal. So it's been an ongoing process to try and understand what the market wants."
Moving forward means more rock, perhaps a bit of punk and a mix of established metal bands and those newer to the scene.
"But it will always be interesting." Farkas said.
Farkas expects a crowd of 50,000 metalheads over the two-day event.

Germany? Before the beginning there was Ginnungagap, an empty space of nothingness, filled with pure creative power. (Sort of like the inside of my head.)
And it ends with Ragnarok, the twilight of the Gods. In between is much fighting, betrayal and romance. Just as a good Godly story should be.
Heroes have their own graveyard called Valhalla. Unfortunately we cannot show you a panorama of it at this time, nor of the lovely Valkyries who are its escort service.
Hail Odin, wandering God wielding wisdom and wand! Hail Freya, hail Tyr, hail Thor!
Odin made the many lakes and the fish in them. In his traverses across the lands he caused there to be the Mulheim Bridge in Cologne, as did he make the Mercury fountain, Mercury being of his nature.
But it is to the mighty Thor that the Hammering Man gives service.
Between the time of the Nordic old ones and that of modern Frankfort there may have been a T.Rex or two on the scene. At least some mastodons for sure came through for lunch, then fell into tar pits to become fossils for us to find.
And there we must leave you, O my most pure and holy children.

The Mcnay is one of more than 700 museums to offer free admission
to military personnel and their families this summer
(San Antonio TX) Today the McNay announced the launch of Blue Star Museums, a partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts, Blue Star Families, and more than 700 museums across America to offer free admission to all active duty military personnel and their families from Memorial Day through Labor Day 2010. Families can visit www.mcnayart.org for museum hours. The complete list of participating Blue Star Museums is available at www.arts.gov.
"America's museums are proud to join the rest of the country in thanking our military personnel and their families for their service and sacrifice," said National Endowment for the Arts Chairman Rocco Landesman. "I cannot imagine a better way to do that than welcoming them in to explore and enjoy the extraordinary cultural heritage our museums present. The works of art on view this summer will inspire and challenge viewers, and sometimes they will just be a great deal of fun."
"There have always been wonderful examples of partnerships between museums and military installations, but the scale of this gift from the museum communities to military families is thrilling," said Blue Star Families Chairman Kathy Roth-Douquet. "Military families work hard for this country, and it is gratifying for us to be recognized for that. We anticipate that thousands of military families will participate in the program and visit museums this summer – many of them for the first time. Blue Star Families will work hard to help our military families make the most of these opportunities."
In addition to being Chairman of Blue Star Families, Ms. Roth-Douquet is married to a Marine Corps officer, who is currently deployed to Afghanistan. They have two children, and Ms. Roth-Douquet and the children plan to take a road trip this summer to visit Blue Star Museums up and down the East Coast.
More than 700 museums in all 50 states and the District of Columbia are taking part in the initiative. The American Association of Museums, the Association of Art Museum Directors, and the Association of Children's Museums each sent a letter from NEA Chairman Landesman inviting museums to participate in this program. In addition to thirty children's museums across the country, participating museums represent a broad range of art, history, science, and cultural topics -- from the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, Texas, to the California Surf Museum in Oceanside, California, to the Mission San Luis, a living history site and historic landmark in Tallahassee, Florida, to the International Quilt Study Center & Museum at the University of Lincoln – Nebraska, the Art Institute of Chicago, Illinois, and the Seacoast Science Center in Rye, New Hampshire.
Blue Star Museums details
Blue Star Museums runs from Memorial Day, May 31, 2010 through to Labor Day, September 6, 2010. The free admission program is available to any bearer of a Geneva Convention Common Access Card (CAC), a DD Form 1173, or a DD Form 1173-1, which includes active duty military and five immediate family members, Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, National Guard, and Reserve. Some special or limited-time museum exhibits may not be included in this free admission program. For questions on particular exhibits or museums, please contact the museum directly. To find out which museums are participating, visit www.arts.gov/bluestarmuseums. The site includes a list of participating museums and a map to help with visit planning.
This is the latest Arts Endowment program to bring quality arts programs to the military, veterans, and their families. Other NEA programs for the military have included Operation Homecoming: Writing the Wartime Experience, Great American Voices Military Base Tour, and Shakespeare in American Communities Military Base Tour.
About Blue Star Families
Blue Star Families is a national, non-partisan, non-profit network of military families from all ranks and services including guard and reserve, with a mission to support, connect and empower military families. In addition to morale and empowerment programs, Blue Star Families raises awareness of the challenges and strengths of military family life with civilian community and leaders. Membership includes spouses, kids, parents, service members, veterans and civilians.
Operation Appreciation is an initiative of Blue Star Families that seeks to connect military families to the larger community. Blue Star Families 2009 annual survey shows that 94 percent of military families feel that the larger community doesn't truly understand or appreciate the sacrifices we make for the country. Through initiatives such as Blue Star Museums, Blue Star Families provides avenues for the larger community to show that they do understand, in meaningful ways that enrich the lives of military service members, spouses, children and parents. For more information, please visit www.BlueStarFam.org.
About the National Endowment for the Arts
The NEA is a public agency dedicated to supporting excellence in the arts – both new and established – bringing the arts to all Americans, and providing leadership in arts education. Established by Congress in 1965 as an independent agency of the federal government, the Arts Endowment is the largest annual national funder of the arts, bringing great art to all 50 states, including rural areas, inner cities, and military bases. For more information, please visit www.arts.gov.

Assuncao (13-4) won in his UFC return in September by outpointing Eddie Yagin at UFC 135. Pearson (12-5) defeated Spencer Fisher in February and then lost to Edson Barboza in August.
The live blog is below.
Round 1: Mario Yamasaki gets us started and there's no glove touch here. They take their time feeling one another out. Pearson comes in first and Assuncao drops under for a takedown. He puts Pearson down, but can't keep him there. When the Brit gets up he's back on the attack with a punch combo. Assuncao is already showing some welts around his eyes. Pearson continues stalking him, and Assuncao tries to keep him at bay with kicks as he circles away. Assuncao tries a takedown and gets stuffed. He doesn't seem to want to engage with Pearson on the feet at all. Aside from a few solitary punches and kicks, he's spending most of his time employing evasive maneuvers. Good counter by Assuncao, followed by a couple nice body kicks. Pearson continues following him around the cage until the horn sounds. MMA Fighting scores it 10-10.
Round 2: Assuncao manages the briefest of takedowns to start the second, but Pearson won't be kept down for long. The Brit is definitely the more aggressive fighter, but he's spending too much time chasing and not enough time connecting right now. Assuncao tries a nifty little leg sweep, but ends up giving up top position. Pearson can't do much with it and lets him back up. Pearson lands a glancing head kick after some inconsequential clinch fighting. A straight shot from Pearson stings Assuncao and drops him for just a moment. Pearson smells blood and tries to close the distance with punches and knees. Assuncao is bloodied up, but clear-eyed. He survives the onslaught and comes back with a hook behind the ear that wobbles Pearson just a bit. Assuncao looks for a takedown, but Pearson leg trips him to the mat. Assuncao rises again and returns the favor. Good punches from Assuncao as Pearson scrambles up just before the horn. MMA Fighting scores it 10-9 for Pearson.
Round 3: Pearson blows a mist of blood from his nose as they face off in the center. Assuncao shoots and gets the takedown, then looks to take Pearson's back. Pearson stays calm and gets to his feet without incurring any extra damage. Assuncao elbows his way out of the clinch and then comes back in for another takedown and another look at Pearson's back. Pearson struggles to free himself and eventually succeeds, but Assuncao is back on him in a hurry, suffocating him in close. Assuncao's right eye is looking bad, and Pearson targets it with a jab. Assuncao shoots for a slow, tired takedown and Pearson stuffs it. Pearson lands a few nice hooks in close, then hurts Assuncao with a kick on the way in. Assuncao keeps the pressure on, and Pearson ends up playing the clinch game again. Final seconds now and Pearson attacks with a hook that forces Assuncao to cover up, then adds a knee as Assuncao retreats. The crowd gets up for it, perhaps just out of desperation for a finish, but Assuncao is going to make it to the final horn. MMA Fighting scores it 10-9 for Pearson.
Ross Pearson def. Junior Assuncao via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 30-27)

"Presently, we were aware of an odour gradually coming towards us, something musky, fiery, savoury, mysterious, -- a hot drowsy smell, that lulls the senses, and yet enflames them, -- the truffles were coming." William Makepeace Thackeray

No significant injuries, but significant vehicle damage, were reported when two cars collided at the intersection of Columbia Road and Normandy Heights Road early Thursday afternoon.
The accident occurred at about 12:15 p.m., said Township Police Lt. Ed Conrads. One vehicle traveling eastbound on Columbia Road was making a left turn in front of another vehicle traveling westbound, he said, noting, "there was significant damage to both vehicles and both were towed from the location."
There Conrads noted there were no significant injuries, one driver had complained of pain in his wrist and was checked out by an ambulance at the scene.
The turning driver received a summons for failing to yield to the other driver, Conrads said.

The biggest developments from around the net...
# Ubuntu introduces HUD
Ubuntu 12.04 will bring the second controversial new feature from Ubuntu in as many major version numbers. The Head-Up Display (commonly known as HUD) is Canonical's answer to old-fashioned, but much loved, hierarchical menus. Currently, it's only available as an add-on to a pre-release alpha version of 12.04, but if Mark Shuttleworth has his way, it'll soon take over your desktop.
# Red Hat increases support for RHEL five and six to ten years
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) versions five and six will now be supported for ten years from their initial release, giving users extra time before they need to upgrade.
# First Plasma Active tablet announced
The Linux kernel has been powering Android tablets for sometime, but as yet we haven't seen a tablet running a more traditional version of the operating system we know and love. All that is set to change, however. KDE hacker Aseigo recently announced the Spark, which will be available with KDE's Plasma Active installed as default and will hopefully be on the shelves for 200 euros.
#Bada may or may not merge with Tizen
In the last newsletter, we announced Tizen (take a look here:
), and now we can tell you that the project is growing through the inclusion of Bada, Samsung's proprietary mobile operating system. Well, maybe. After seeming to announce that they were merging the two platforms, Samsung have now taken a step back and all the company will confirm is that it's looking into the option and that it won't make any announcements until a product is ready.
#Greg Kroah-Hartman Leaves SUSE ...
... and becomes a fellow at the Linux Foundation. This is a big loss for SUSE and their parent company Novell/Attachmate, but should benefit the Linux community as a whole because he is now better positioned to work on the kernel in a distribution-agnostic way. He is one of the most prolific Linux kernel contributors and an all-round nice guy. We wish him all the best in his new position.
#Firefox For Organisations
To combat criticism that the new ultra-quick release schedule is too fast for businesses to keep up with, the Firefox developers have introduced Firefox Extended Support Release (aka Firefox ESR or Firefox for organisations). This new version will be supported for a whole year before being superseded. This may seem short compared to Red Hat's new support schedule, but it's eight times longer than regular Firefox releases.
5. This month on the TuxRadar
There's been grumbling over our tardiness in starting the new season of the TuxRadar podcast. Well, we've finally pulled our collective fingers out and the first episode is now live here:
The question we put to you in the latest Open Ballot (discussed on the podcast) was ÄúWhich is the biggest threat to freedom - Google, Microsoft or Apple?Äù Well, there wasn't much love for any of the companies, although a few of you were willing to forgive Google, at least to some extent. The US Government also came under fire, and a couple of you nominated the one-time darling of the Linux community Äì Canonical. It looks as if Richard Stallman will have his hands full for a few more years.
6. This month on the forums
Madoba suggested that the PC market may be overtaken by tablets in the near future Äì a comment that seemed to split opinions. Ram, Marrea, Heiowge and Bazza came out in the pro-keyboard camp, whereas Rhakios and Nelz backed the original post. [1]
Bananaoomarang is a fan of Ubuntu's HUD (see news section), whereas everyone else remains skeptical. [2]
Chris0161 (among others) helped RolandS get a new version of Linux installed on his machine despite problems with his graphics cards. [3]
7. Special newsletter feature
If you've listened to the Podcast (and if you haven't you should!), you'll know that I'm a recent convert to Cinnamon, Mint's new user interface. It's a fork of Gnome Shell that's designed to provide users with a traditional desktop environment done in an elegant way. The philosophy of the project is summed up in the website's tag line ÄúLove your Linux, Feel at Home, Get things DoneÄù, and it does a good job of making me feel at home on my desktop, and get things done (I loved my Linux already).
The latest version, 1.2, brings a raft of changes to the internal workings of the software, but for users the most obvious changes are the inclusion of a graphical configuration tool, an improved main menu, applets, and support for different desktop layouts.
As it stands, the desktop supports only three layouts, traditional (where the panel is at the bottom), flipped (with the panel at the top), and classic (with panels at the top and bottom). This is a bit more limited than some other desktops, but covers most set-ups.
It always takes a little while for developers to create a full repertoire of applets for a new desktop, and as you may expect, the choice is currently a little limited. At the time of writing, there are only seven listed on the website, but there's a great tutorial on the website to get potential applet writers started, so expect more soon.
My only gripe with the otherwise excellent user interface is the default effect for opening a window. It looks as if the window is being thrown from behind and splatting on the screen. Perhaps some people like it, but it seemed a bit aggressive to me. Fortunately, thanks to the new configuration tool, switching to a more sedate effect only took a couple of clicks.
It's still a young piece of software, but it shows a lot of promise, and I look forward to seeing how it develops in future versions.
You can get more information about Cinnamon from their website (http://cinnamon.linuxmint.com), and packages for Mint and other major distributions are available from

Katie's Krew Team Photo by Katie's Krew - over 1 year ago
"Our sweet daughter Katie was diagnosed with type I (juvenile) diabetes in June 2010. Our team - Katie's Krew - supported by more than 20 friends and family walked in her honor on March 2, 2013 at the Meyer AmphiTheater in West Palm Beach, Florida. . Katie's Krew has raised $2,590 in donations so far for the annual JDRF walk to cure diabetes. Our beautiful team T-shirts helped to keep us warm on a very chilly day at the walk and the generous donation by CustomInk helped us to exceed our team goal of $2,500! "

Following are the whispers we've been hearing from around the AFC West:
• Broncos LB Robert Ayers, who broke his foot in a Week Five loss to the Ravens, may not be out as long as previously expected. According to a source close to the team, the organization expects its 2009 first-round draft pick back much sooner than the reported 2-3 months. While Denver erred on the side of caution when LB Elvis Dumervil (pectoral) was set to miss an extended period of time, we hear the Broncos never considered placing Ayers on injured reserve and hope to have him back within the next few weeks.
• Although the Chargers say that there is no drop-off from SS Steve Gregory, who was handed a four-game suspension for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances, to replacement Paul Oliver, we're told that Oliver is not as good in deep coverage as the man he's subbing for. Eligible to play in Week Nine, Gregory is expected to regain his starting job upon his return.
• Raiders head coach Tom Cable admitted to being frustrated with how long it's taking WR Chaz Schilens, who hasn't played yet this season, to recover from knee and foot injuries, but it's clear that the team values him. Oakland has held on to the third-year receiver even though he's missed 15 of the past 23 games because of injuries.
• Always looking to tinker with their roster to make improvements, the Chiefs signed veteran LB Mark Simoneau on Oct. 27. Although the 33-year-old has missed the last two seasons due to injury, he has kept in shape and is reportedly now healthy. He also has experience with some of the coaches on Kansas City's staff. While K.C. appears set at inside linebacker, Simoneau has stood out on special teams in the past and is expected to contribute in that area.

Denver has shipped WR Brandon Marshall to the Dolphins, the Broncos confirmed Wednesday morning.
Denver will receive a second-round pick (43rd overall) in next week's draft and a second-round pick in the 2011 draft.
Marshall still needs to pass a physical, but if he passes the physical, he will sign a new contract with the Dolphins that will make him one of the highest-paid receivers in league history, according to ESPN.

For many people, Spain conjures up images of flamenco, matadors, El Prado, Don Quijote, the Royal Family, castles, aqueducts, beaches, Lladro porcelain, swords, olive gardens, Picasso, shoes, and siestas. Spain is all of this and more.
The population of Spain totals approximately 40 million. Madrid, Spain's capital and largest city is home to three million people. The next largest cities are Barcelona, Valencia and Seville.
You will quickly discover that one trait that all Spaniards share in common is the official language of Spain – Castilian Spanish. When traveling to the northwestern Spain however, be prepared to hear the Galician language spoken. The Galician language is a romance language which is similar to Portuguese. In northeastern Spain, you will find Catalan speakers. Catalan is a romance language also, dating back to the 12th century. In eastern Spain, the variation of Catalan spoken is Valenciano. Lastly, in northern Spain you will hear Euskera or the Basque language spoken. No one is sure of the exact origin of Euskera, but it has been hypothesized that immigrants from Asia Minor introduced the language to the region at the beginning of the Bronze Age.
During the Middle Ages, Christianity, Judaism, and Islamic religions were practiced in Spain. In the late 1400's, the Catholic Monarchs, King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella declared Roman Catholicism the compulsory religion of the Spaniards. To this day, practically all Spaniards are Catholic, although few actively participate. Secularization of the State has been wide spread over the last two centuries and the constitution establishes religious liberty for all.
If you're a night owl, you'll love the hours the Spaniards keep. In general, Spaniards tend to get up later in the morning and stay out longer at night as compared to the rest of their European neighbors. Shops and businesses usually open their doors around 9:30 or 10:00 a.m. and close for siesta around 1:30 to 2:00 p.m. Later, around 5:00 p.m., they open shop again and remain open until 8:00 or 8:30 p.m. Sundays are a day of rest for many shop owners who don't open their doors at all.
If you aren't in the habit of eating breakfast, you might want to keep a snack bar handy. Spaniards usually eat breakfast around 8 am. But, they don't enjoy their main meal of the day until around 2 pm. The last meal of the day is eaten between 9 and 11 pm.
So, if you find yourself searching for a lovely outdoor café to eat the main midday meal, keep in mind that most restaurants serve lunch between the hours of 1:30 and 3:30 p.m. If dinner is your first priority, you will find that most restaurants serve food between 8:30 and 11:30 p.m. So, what should one do when hunger pangs are setting in around 6:00 in the afternoon? Take advantage of the wonderful world of tapas. Tapas are small appetizer sized portions of food that stave away hunger pains for the Spaniards who wait many hours in between eating meals. Eating tapas is popular pastime for Spaniards while socializing in cafes and bars with family and friends.
Looking for leather shoes, bags, coats, or gloves? If you answered yes, you are going to the right place. Spain is well known for its leather goods as well as lace, jewelry, pottery, antiques, embroidery, blown glass, toys, musical instruments, and furniture. So, if you love to shop, listen up: Pack light. That way you'll have some space in your suitcase to carry home your treasures.
If you are the type of person who prefers one stop shopping, you'll be happy to know that El Corte Inglés is Spain's major department store chain. You can find El Corte Inglés in every major city. One nice aspect of this particular store is its hours. This store doesn't close during the siesta. So, if it's siesta time, and you can't wait one more moment to buy a new pair of pants, chances are you won't have to wait for the store to re-open.
Although there are no special rules with respect to dress, nothing stands out more as being American than a baseball cap worn with shorts and a pair of sneakers. For the most part, baseball caps are donned by Spaniards only when playing sports. The same goes for shorts and sneakers. Most Spaniards will wear jeans, a shirt and leather shoes to class each day.
The most important holidays in Spain are Christmas, Holy Week, and All Saints Day, which reflect the country's Catholic heritage. In addition to these important days are the feasts of patron saints. All towns and cities, some neighborhoods, even certain professions have a patron saint, which is celebrated on the saint's day. Other well known festivals include: the Festival of San Fermin, (running of the bulls) in Pamplona, Las Fallas in Valencia, Feria de Abril in Seville and the Festival of San Isidro in Madrid. Last, but not least is another important fiesta - the Fiesta Nacional. This Fiesta is actually a bullfight, where the new and young, and the experienced bullfighters demonstrate their talents.
Originally a sport reserved for the aristocracy, bullfighting was practiced on horseback. Only a vassal, who handed the spears to his master or helped the nobleman up if he happened to fall off his horse, assisted the bullfighter. However, bullfighting changed under King Philip the Fifth's reign. The King prohibited the nobles from bullfighting as he considered the sport a bad example for the population. From that point onward, common men began to fight the bulls unarmed by dodging them, pole-vaulting over them, raising small spears, small objects or rags to sidestep the bull. This pastime has become a very deep-rooted cultural phenomenon of today.
It makes sense that if your last meal of the day isn't eaten until 11 p.m., the night- life isn't going to get started much before midnight. Nightclubs start filling up around midnight with the largest crowds milling about around 2 a.m. The merriment lasts until 5 or 6 a.m. the following day. For the really energetic, you'll find clubs that will allow you to frequent the establishment until 7 or 8 a.m.
Dancing is a very important element in the lives of Spaniards. Dance is involved in every celebration. Folkloric dance especially has been revived by the younger generations. It is quite common to see Sevillanas executed on the disco dance floor. More and more, traditional dances such as the Muneira, Sardana, Aragonese, Castilian Jota and Flamenco are being revived.
The social consciousness of the dangers of smoking and the prohibition of smoking in public places doesn't exist in Spain the way it does in the US. The majority of Spaniards do smoke. It is very difficult to find a smoke-free bar or restaurant, and especially a smoke-free nightclub. If you suffer from asthma, or respiratory problems, please be advised that you will probably encounter cigarette smoke in your daily life.
Tipping is customary in Spain. While most establishments include a surcharge for service in your bill, it is still common to leave a small gratuity. It is customary to leave tips in restaurants, and bars and to give a token of appreciation to theater ushers, hotel porters, and taxi drivers.
Must-see Museums in Madrid unique in the entire world, you will find the Avenue of Art in Madrid. The name of this famous avenue is the Paseo del Prado. On the Paseo del Prado you will find the world-renowned museums: Prado Museum, Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum and the Centro de Arte Reina Sofía National Museum. This short avenue affords you the opportunity to see such quality art works as: The Meninas of Velázquez, Las Majas of Goya, Giovanna Tornabuoni by Ghirlandajo, Les Vessenots en Auvers by Van Gogh, and Guernica by Picasso.
This is home to the world's best collection of Spanish painting. Showcased in the museum, you will find masters such as: El Greco, Velázquez, Goya, Ribera, Zurbarán, and Murillo. Van der Weyden, and Hieronymous Bosch represent Flemish painters.
The Prado Museum is located on Paseo del Prado. You can find your way to the museum by riding the metro to stop: Banco de España, or Atocha. Bus lines: 9, 14, 27, 37, and 45 also stop near the museum. The museum is open Tuesday to Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. On Sundays and holidays, the museum is open from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. With a student I.D. card, you can enter the museum at a discounted rate.
This is a complement to the Prado Museum. While the Prado focuses on classical pieces, the Thyssen Bornemisza collection contains art from Italian and Dutch primitives, German Renaissance, Russian Constructivism, American paintings, Impressionism, German Expressionism and Pop Art. Thyssen Bornemisza is located across the street from the Prado Museum on the Paseo del Prado, 8. You can take the metro to Banco de España or bus lines 1, 2, 5, 9, 10, 14, 15, 20, 27, 34, 37, 45, 51, 52, 53, 74, 146, and 150. The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m. If you show your student I.D., you will gain admission to the museum at a discounted rate.
Not only does the museum carry the name of the Queen of Spain, but the Cento de Arte Reina Sofía also houses contemporary painting and sculpture. Here you will find masterpieces of the great geniuses of the avant-garde: Picasso, Miró and DalÌ. The most famous painting, which occupies a place of honor in the collection due to its historic and artistic importance, is Guernica by Picasso.
You can get to the Reina Sofía via metro stop Atocha or bus lines 6, 10, 14, 18, 19, 26, 27, 32, 34, 36, 37, 41, 45, 47, 55, 57, 59, 68, 86, and 119. The museum is closed Tuesdays, but is open every other day of the week from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Students may enter at a discounted rate provided they show a student ID.

Dim T's sexy good looks – all low lighting, dark wood & orchids – are aimed at those with Hakkasan tastes on a Chinese takeout budget. The menu takes a 'greatest hits' approach to South-East Asia's cooking, throwing in a few fusion numbers for good measure. Sweet & sour chicken, crispy duck pancakes, Thai green curry & even the dim sum (after which the group is named) are pretty unambitious examples of their respective genres; the noodles are rather better – customers choose their own, plus toppings & sauces from the bar. A brief list of teas, juices, lemonades, exotic cocktails & quaffable sub-£18 wines completes the offering.

Since 2007, the Seattle Mariners' run-scoring abilities have been in free-fall. They scored 794 runs that season, winning 88 games.
Slowly -- actually, not so slowly, come to think of it -- the Mariners quit producing runs. They scored 671 in 2008, 640 in 2009 and completely fell off almost all charts with 513 runs scored in 2011, in a 101-loss season.
That was the fewest runs scored by an American League team in a non-strike season since the Angels had 498 in Year of the Pitcher, 1968.
Seattle improved a bit in run-scoring in 2011, with 556 of them. But even that team was hardly an offensive juggernaut; it scored 10 or more runs just four times (comparison point: the 2011 Red Sox, who led the majors with 875 runs, scored 10 or more runs 25 times).
That's why Wednesday night's Seattle scoring outburst -- 21 runs against the Texas Rangers -- came as such a surprise. It's 10 percent of all the runs Seattle had scored the entire season before Wednesday (218). It's 11 runs more than their previous season high, although Seattle had accomplished that 10-run feat twice in the previous two weeks, including just the day before against Texas.
They had back-to-back eight-run innings in the second and third and led 17-0 going into the bottom of the fourth. They hit four home runs (Jesus Montero, Dustin Ackley and a pair by Justin Smoak); every starting player had at least one hit, one run scored and every Mariner but Chone Figgins had at least one RBI. (Why is that last fact not a surprise?)
Seattle's offensive output fell one run short of the franchise record, set April 29, 1999 against the Detroit Tigers. It was the most runs scored in a game since the Yankees scored 22 against the Athletics August 25, 2011, and it was the 37th game since 2000 in which a team scored 20 or more runs, an average for all of Major League Baseball of about three per season. It was the first time a Rangers team had allowed 20 or more runs since September 30, 2000, when they gave up 23 to the A's.
So this sort of thing doesn't happen often for either of these clubs. For the Mariners, it's an extremely rare event, worth noting and remembering. It could be a decade or more before Seattle crosses the 20-run barrier again.

Two countries are teaming up this week for a special training course at Tyndall Air Force Base. Civil engineers from the Royal Canadian Air Force are joining U.S. Air Force engineers for the Silver Flag training course.
For seven days civil engineers in the training will learn how to set up and maintain a base for a deployment location.
"The mission of the Air Force is to fly aircrafts. That's what the number one mission is. But the behind the scenes work to make that happen, to run an air fields, you need a whole bunch of civil engineers . Both to build it up, to maintain it and to recover it from an attack. There's a huge amount of engineers required behind the scenes for one aircraft to do a mission," says Maj. David Jane, Chief of Contingency Training at Tyndall Air Force Base.
The goal is to put the airmen into a contingency environment. They must know how to produce electricity, for systems like Emergency Airfield Lighting. They must be able to produce clean water, as well as, fire protection and emergency management. For this particular training, the U.S. Air Force is joined by the Royal Canadian Air Force.
"The first week is about bringing the team together to learn about the different equipment," says Capt. Kip Boyechko from the Royal Canadian Air Force. "Then on Thursday, we're going to move into a bare area and practice building a place to live and operate aircraft auto."
With the two neighboring countries training together, they are preparing for joint deployment capabilities. While there are a few cultural differences, students say the engineering knowledge is the same.
"It's all relevant information," says Mcpl Moylan, a civil engineer from the Royal Canadian Air Force. "It's very similar to the training we do in Canada. We call it level two training. Same principle, just a little different equipment."
"The whole culture thing is a little bit different," says Lt. Eric Marks, with the U.S. Air Force. "I like to hear how they handle themselves in camp. It's kind of amazing how their technical knowledge is about the same as ours. They speak the same language as far as engineering their power-pro all that is very similar to ours."
This course will end March 8th.

The Cincinnati Bengals have an inherently difficult road back to the NFL Playoffs on account of playing in a division with the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers, but they got a bit of a lucky draw compared to some of their division rivals. Just like the other AFC North teams, they have to play the AFC West and NFC East, but the Bengals get the New York Giants and Denver Broncos at home.
That's the schedule as a whole, but the draw wasn't kind to them in Week 1. They start the year on Monday Night Football, visiting the Baltimore Ravens. They play Baltimore in the last week of the season as well, part of a nasty stretch following away games against Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
Week 1: at Baltimore Ravens
Week 2: Cleveland Browns
Week 3: at Washington Redskins
Week 4: at Jacksonville Jaguars
Week 5: Miami Dolphins
Week 6: at Cleveland Browns
Week 7: Pittsburgh Steelers
Week 8: BYE
Week 9: Denver Broncos
Week 10: New York Giants
Week 11: at Kansas City Chiefs
Week 12: Oakland Raiders
Week 13: at San Diego Chargers
Week 14: Dallas Cowboys
Week 15: at Philadelphia Eagles

The Presidential election is still three years away, but there's already a lot of talk about who could be in the race for the White House.On the Democratic side, it's widely expected that Hillary Clinton will run. Clinton has been keeping a low profile since resigning as Secretary of State a few months ago.On the Republican side, a lot of people expect New Jersey Governor Chris Christie to run. On Thursday, Christie was in Arizona for the Republican Governor's Association meeting, as well as another surprise guest who showed up.A surprise, safely away from reporters. Former President George W. Bush made a private visit to the Phoenician Resort in Scottsdale to meet with Republican governors, offering words of encouragement at the invitation of Christie -- a rising GOP star and maybe a future presidential candidate, but don't call him that.One of the very first things Christie said as he walked in with three other GOP governors: I'm not here to talk about 2016."My job is to elect and reelect Republican governors and that is going to be my sole focus over the next 11 months," he said.Christie was just elected chairman of the governor's group. His opinion is important. One very specific question he was asked Thursday: Does he support a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants? Yes or No?"By the way it is very helpful you suggest how we answer the question too. I really appreciate that. Listen, the fact is we have a broken immigration system and it needs to be fixed and how it needs to be fixed will be determined by the national leaders in this country, starting with the president and the leaders in the Congress to sit down and come to a solution."So, was that a yes or a no?"Yeah, well, I don't have to answer the question the way you want me to," replied Christie.That's vintage Chris Christie. You may like it, you may not, but get ready to see a lot more of it.30 states have Republican governors. They offered up a steady drumbeat of criticism of Congress, including Republicans there and they dumped on the federal government in general, and of course, President Obama in particular. Themes which will continue straight through election day next year and beyond.

Joseph Kelner, attorney who sued sitting Ohio governor over Kent State slayings, is dead at 98
Posted Mar 8, 2013 2:55 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
Joseph Kelner, a personal injury attorney best known for the litigation battle he fought, and arguably won, over an iconic Vietnam War protest at Kent State University, has died. He was 98 years old.
A former president of the New York State Trial Lawyers Association and the American Trial Lawyers Association, Kelner took on both the then-sitting governor of Ohio and the president of Kent State after four students were killed in 1970 by members of the Ohio National Guard shooting into a crowd of demonstrators, recounts the New York Times (reg. req.).
An initial federal jury verdict acquitting all defendants, including 27 members of the National Guard, was reversed on appeal. Although Kelner eventually won a settlement of $675,000, which the plaintiffs accepted against his advice, he was not happy about the result of the Kent State case. He had sought some $46 million in damages on behalf of students wounded and slain by the gunfire at the campus protest, according to an article by the Associated Press about the 1975 acquittals that is archived on Google.
In a 1980 book which he co-authored, The Kent State Coverup, the attorney contended that "one governmental agency after another had managed to suppress evidence and shield those responsible for the shootings in a monumental cover-up." And, he added, "The same process continued in the Cleveland courtroom."
For more details about Kelner's career, read the full New York Times (reg. req.) article.
Chronologies of what happened concerning the Kent State shootings are provided both in a May 4 Task Force website created by former Kent State students and on a special collections and archives web page of the Kent State University library.

Hull Zero Threeby Greg Bear
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
A starship hurtles through the emptiness of space. Its destination - unknown. Its purpose - a mystery.
Now, one man wakes up. Ripped from a dream of a new home - a new planet and the woman he was meant to love in his arms - he finds himself wet, naked, and freezing to death. The dark halls are full of monsters but trusting other survivors he meets might be the greater danger.
All he has are questions — Who is he? Where are they going? What happened to the dream of a new life? What happened to Hull 03?
All will be answered, if he can survive the ship.

The Deal: Banks Return to M&A
By Jane Searle
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Deal activity in the American banking sector is at its highest level in nearly three years, a stark contrast to the global scene, where sector M&A has hit lows not seen since the credit crisis.
For the year to date, there have been 274 bank deals in the U.S., a lift on the prior two years and on par with deal numbers for 2010, according to Dealogic. Globally, bank M&A, at 704 deals for the year to date, is at its lowest level since 2008, when 694 deals were struck.
A stricter regulatory and sluggish economic backdrop has challenged all banks, though U.S. institutions overhauled balance sheets and purged themselves of toxic assets more quickly than their European peers.
"A lot of [U.S.] banks have seen their stock rise, which gives them a strong currency to buy things when it's a challenging environment to grow revenue and get earnings per share growth," Keefe, Bruyette & Woods associate, Nishil Patel, said. He added that between $5 billion and $10 billion was the "sweet spot" for domestic bank M&A. If banks exceed this size through acquisition, they lose the ability to use Trust Preferred Securities as Tier 1 capital.While the number of U.S. deals is up, total deal value at $10.38 billion is at its lowest point in nearly three years, as regulation makes it difficult to strike large deals. Banks also face more punitive capital and regulatory hurdles if they exceed certain size thresholds, prompting them to carefully weigh the merits of a deal. The largest U.S. bank deal for the year to date is PacWest Bancorp's (PACW) $2.36 billion acquisition of CapitalSource, in July, highlighting the concentration of activity at the mid-tier asset level. Both 2010 and 2011 saw strategic deals top the list: Capital One Financial's (COF) $8.9 billion purchase of ING Direct USA led in 2011; while Bank of Montreal (BMO) scooped up Marshall & Ilsley for $4.3 billion in 2010. Deal values during the credit crisis were skewed by transformative survival deals such as Bank of America's (BAC) $18.5 billion acquisition of Merrill Lynch.

Critical Balance
Custom-fabrication shops like Gore Marine and Quality T-Tops often work with local dealers or builders to fabricate optional towers when selling a new boat or for individual owners as an aftermarket product. There are limitations though, especially on smaller or narrow-beamed models. If excess weight is added above the waterline, it might make the boat too top-heavy for optimal performance, or roll uncomfortably like a pendulum in heavy seas. Older boats that aren't structurally sound aren't good candidates either.
Custom Considerations
"A new boat isn't the same as a seven-year-old boat with a spongy floor," Meisman explains. "It depends on what you're starting with." Meisman says his company secures a tower with through-bolted backing plates in at least six anchor spots on the console, in addition to the deck pads.
"Before we start a job, we survey the boat to see where the leg pads will land to make sure the structure will be fully supported," Gore says. "If it's possible, we always use backing plates and through-bolts, even if that means redesigning the tower. But in the rare cases where we can't get below-deck access, we use lag screws and add 3M 5200 or Sikaflex adhesive caulk to lock it down."
For hinged towers with second-station controls, Gore and Meisman agree that cable steering should be avoided due to the likelihood of kinks. Hydraulic steering is a workable alternative, but the recommended option is electronic or fly-by-wire controls. The small-diameter control wires are easily routed, plus handling is responsive and dependable with backup safety features.
Maintenance Matters
"Pricewise, electronic controls cost more initially," Gore says. "But for the reduced labor costs and easy operation afterward, there's no comparison, especially with a retrofit. Everybody is going electronic now."
Once a tower has been professionally installed, routine maintenance will keep it in good shape. If the helm, controls, and electronics are mounted properly to begin with and are covered when stored, they'll be adequately protected against the elements. The tower's aluminum framework should be washed with soap and water after each trip to remove salt. Meisman says a ceramic-aluminum coating that they have used recently is holding up well to corrosion.
Adding a tower to an outboard center-console or cuddy-cabin boat certainly isn't an inexpensive option. But the first time you glance down from that vantage point and spot a 40-pound bull dolphin hiding under the sargassum, I'll bet you'll agree: Yes, it absolutely is worth every penny.

A South Korean woman who was hoping to earn her driver's license finally passed the written exam -- after 950 tries! Cha Sa-soon had set the goal of passing the test without knowing how difficult it would be to see her dream come true. She had to take the exam repeatedly for more than four years before she succeeded, but her efforts finally paid off.
What dreams lie dormant in your heart? If you haven't pursued a dream because you think you'd need a miracle to see it come true, you may get that miracle once you take some steps of faith toward your goals. In Mark 10:27 of the Bible, Jesus Christ declares that "…all things are possible with God."
You can invite God to work in your life in ways that may miraculously make your dreams come true -- if you believe that it's worthwhile to pursue your dreams. Eleanor Roosevelt once said: "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."
Here's how you can cooperate with God to help make your dreams come true:
- Trade your own plans for God's dreams for you. If you're dreaming dreams that don't reflect God's purposes for you, you're missing out on the life he wants you to live. So ask God to help you discern which of your dreams align with his will for you, and let the rest go. Spend time with God daily in prayer. Regularly read, study, and meditate on passages of your faith's sacred scripture, seeking insights about what dreams God wants you to pursue. Think about the specific interests and talents God has given you, and ask him to reveal more about how he would like you to contribute to the world. Look for ways that your dreams intersect with opportunities for you to act on what God has revealed to you so far. Make your relationship with God your highest priority in life. If you seek God himself first -- before any particular dreams -- then he will make the right dreams come true for you.
- Fight fear with faith. Although it's natural to feel fear about taking the risks necessary to pursue your dreams, giving into your fear will stop your progress. Realize that God will give you all the power you need to do whatever he is calling you to do. Rely on him for help, knowing that he never fails. Ask God to give you the courage to do what he wants you to do, no matter what others think. Feel free to seek counsel from a few trustworthy people who are close to you, but dismiss critics who don't have your best interests at heart. Make whatever changes you need to make to stop playing it safe and living in a rut. Don't be afraid to leave behind a way of life that you've been conditioned to think is normal so you can discover something better. Leave small thoughts behind and dream big. Don't wait for all the pieces of a plan to make perfect sense to you before moving forward if you sense God calling you to do so; be willing to take steps of faith as he leads you.
- Use your time well. Resolve to use your time wisely. If you invest even small amounts of time toward reaching your dreams, over the long haul your investment will pay off in a big way. Don't let seemingly urgent things like household chores and checking e-mail distract you from what's most important. Make sure that you're focusing on important tasks first -- the ones that will help your dreams come true -- and just fit all the "urgent" tasks in when you can.
- Remain motivated. Remind yourself often of the reasons why you're making sacrifices and working hard to pursue your dreams. Ask God to regularly remind you of what your life can look like once his dreams for you come true. Write out a plan for how to make those dreams realities and move forward with that plan while inviting God to edit your plan as he sees fit. Establish and grow relationships with key people who will pray for you and encourage you as you go after your dreams.
- Keep trusting. When you face challenges on your way to fulfilling your dreams, don't grumble about difficulties; instead, be thankful that you have the gift of each new day to keep making progress. Try to enjoy the journey as much as the destination. Be prepared for trials and tragedies that will inevitably threaten to derail your dreams in this fallen world. When you encounter them, depend on the hope that God offers and keep working to make progress as you can. Don't let your mistakes or failures cause you to give up. Stay focused on your vision, keep working hard, and continue to trust God.

The boom of downtown Nashville might seem like a great thing, but it's brought a growing problem. As new buildings, hotels and businesses promise to bring crowds downtown, where will those people park?
Already, an estimated 50,000 people work downtown, and that is only expected to grow as the city does the same.
"The parking is pretty expensive downtown," said downtown driver Becky West. "We're kind of worried when the new convention center opens and they have events there. I mean, it's bad now with the old one, so I don't know what's going to happen. They're going to have to do something."
No one knows the parking problem quite like Tom Turner, who crunches numbers for the Nashville Downtown Partnership.
"It's never glamorous, but if you don't have a parking problem, you've really got a problem," Turner said.
Currently, the Park It Downtown website lists 28,656 available spots. That number may sound like a lot, but consider it includes thousands of spaces at LP Field, in state-owned lots and lots requiring private permits.
In spite of the crunch, Turner remains optimistic.
"Right now, things still look pretty good. We could always use more," he said.
And downtown will soon get more parking spaces. When the new convention center opens, so will 1,800 new parking spots.
Nearby, at the existing Nashville City Center, workers will add 500 spots in a new garage.
Beyond just parking spaces, the plan for Nashville also includes an increased push for new thinking.
"You look at Austin, Indianapolis, Denver or Charlotte, and they're beating us on ride share or mode share. So, they have more people that walk, more people that bike, more people that take transit, more people that carpool," Turner said.
It sounds like a good idea for drivers like West, facing the downtown challenge at least five days a week.
"I think they're going to have to build some parking lots or get commuting, you know - shuttle service or something," she said.
As for the price to park, planners say to expect parking lots closer to Broadway to run higher as downtown grows.

Please use the buttons below to see more information on Leicester Tigers and matches between Wasps and Tigers over the years.
<1>London Wasps have defeated Leicester Tigers by a formidable 39 points to 14 to secure a third successive Zurich Premiership Championship at Twickenham this afternoon.
Tom Voyce got Wasps off to a dream start, scooping up the loose ball when Ollie Smith spilled in the tackle to sprint in under the posts on 5 minutes. An earlier Van Gisbergen penalty after 3 minutes and an easy conversion put Wasps 10-0 ahead, soon to be 13 as Alex King dropped a goal on the seventh minute.
Exchanges of penalties took the score to 19-6 at half time, with 3 more points each for Van Gisbergen and Goode making it 22-9 after 50 minutes.
As the clock ticked on, Leicester looked devoid of ideas, and Wasps blitz defence continued to put them under massive pressure.
Van Gisbergen added another try on the 70th minute, and it was a peach to put Wasps 20 points ahead and give Leicester no way back. A Tuilagi counter attack fizzled out, and the ball squirted loose for Will Green to fall on it and secure quick possession. Simon Shaw took it on at pace, and gave the perfect feed to put Van Gisbergen clean away on a 40 metre sprint to the line.
Another conversion and penalty from the prodigious Kiwi took Wasps to 32-9 when on the 77th minutes Bemand went over for a Tigers consolation score. It was Hoadley who put the icing on the cake however as, with all Wasps replacements on, Martin Purdy galloped up the far wing to slip the scoring pass, Hoadley sliding over the line in the final minute.
<2>Van Gisbergen's final kick of the day put his personal tally at 26 and the final score at 39-14.
Commenting on the game, Director of Rugby Warren Gatland said "It was a great win, and the perfect way to end my time at Wasps.
Commenting on his team's performance, Man of the Match Lawrence Dallaglio said "To beat Leicester you have to play on the edge. We had the edge today. Two weeks ago at Welford Road we were way off it, but today we were back on that edge for 80 minutes
Head Coach Shaun Edwards was full of praise for his team's tactical performance, for which Leicester had no reply, "It was a blitz defence against a slide defence out there today, and the blitz defence won. We were brutal and brilliant.

Julian Assange, a fallen angel, remains, as of this writing, a guest of the Ecuadorian Embassy in London. There he has sought asylum to avoid extradition to Sweden, where he faces rape charges that he denies, and, he believes, possible extradition to the U.S., where he fears he may be tried and found guilty of espionage and sedition, for which death is still the extreme penalty.
When we talk of fallen angels, we invoke the original fallen angel, Satan or Lucifer, once beloved of God, the highest in his closest council, whose pride impelled him to challenge for heaven's rule – and came before his fall to Hell. Assange was an angel of a sort, at least to many. They saw his role as founder of WikiLeaks and leaker of thousands of pages of cables on Iraq and Afghanistan, and then from U.S. embassies all over the world, as the act of a liberator, a rebel with a cause, one who could poke the U.S. in the eye in a new way, with only a laptop at his disposal.
He did set himself up very high. He challenged the deities and sacred texts of journalism, contemptuous of a trade that he saw as largely a handmaiden to power. In one comment, he said that the problem with the late News of the World's hacking into people's phones was largely non-existent. They had "actually done original investigative work about people in this society that its readers were genuinely interested in." In another, according to Guardian journalists who worked with him on the WikiLeaks material it published, he observed that if any of the informants who provided U.S. diplomats with the material in the leaked cables were to suffer retribution, they have "got it coming." Now, he fears he does.
He saw political power as a conspiracy against the people. Mainstream journalism, describing governments' activities in often respectful or at least neutral ways, was not exposing the conspiracy. Assange said he could.
He was, surprisingly often, taken at his own estimation. The common and confident forecast among media watchers was something to the effect of: "Journalism will never be the same again." But for now, it doesn't seem that way.

À La Carte Excursions | General Information
Add To Plan
Relax and unwind on Sitka's beautiful coastal waters during this half-day salmon-fishing excursion.
Depart the pier with your guide aboard a comfortable, fully-equipped, 24-27-foot cabin cruiser. The cabins are heated, and equipped with curtained marine heads, or port-a-potties, located in the V-berth. Fishing will be performed via trolling by downrigger, the most common practice on sport-fishing excursions. Rods will be placed in holders and lowered to specific depths. After the fish have been hooked, participants will take the rod on a rotating basis in order to land the fish.
If you wish, your catch can be processed locally and shipped to your home for an additional charge (only U.S. dollars and credit cards will be accepted). Regretfully, we are not allowed to store your fish on board the ship, but can prepare your catch for dinner.
During your 3-hour fishing session, all necessary equipment, bait, tackle, rain gear, light snacks, and beverages will be provided. At the conclusion of your tour, you will be returned to the pier.
Please note: Each boat will accommodate up to six guests. There is no outside seating, only 2 benches inside the cabin. This tour includes approximately 3 hours of actual fishing time. Rubber-soled or deck shoes must be worn on the boat. Dress warmly in layers. Bring cash for your fishing license ($20 for the one-day, non-resident license, and an additional $10 for the required king salmon tag during king salmon season). Guests subject to seasickness should take proper precautions.
NOTICE: All Oceania Cruises shore excursion fares are listed per person, and are subject to change and availability. Some tours are capacity controlled and may be withdrawn at any time without prior notice. Tour departure times are subject to change so please reference your actual tour ticket for the correct departure time. Minor children under 18 years of age must be accompanied by a an adult parent or guardian on all shore excursions.
