Photos: Bear lies down in hammock in Daytona Beach
After knocking over trash cans and scaring the residents of a Daytona Beach neighborhood Thursday, this black bear needed a rest.
Photographer Rafael Torres said he followed the bear as it climbed into a hammock on Glenbriar Circle and lied down.
Torres said he was about 60 feet away when he took the photos, and the bear didn't seemed bothered by his presence. It stayed in the hammock for 20 minutes before heading back into the woods at about 8:15 p.m.

Another hip San Diego eatery is headed to Orange County.
The Range Kitchen & Cocktails, known for offering a contemporary twist on American comfort foods, is opening this summer at The Market Place in Irvine, the Irvine Co. said Thursday. The rustic eatery is located in the Hillcrest neighborhood of San Diego.
Its menu features cage-free foods, grass-fed proteins and an assortment of craft brew beers. Â Lunch and dinner items range in price from $8 to $19.
âWe couldnât be more excited to make our Orange County debut at The Market Place,â said David Schiffman, co-owner of The Range. âWe looked at several locations in Orange County, and selected The Market Place because of the great mix of stores and wide appeal to families and young professionals.â
The Orange County restaurant will occupy the space where Pat & Oscar's used operate near the Corner Bakery. Dan Sheridan, president of Irvine Company Retail Properties, said The Range is a great fit for the shopping center.
"We strive to bring new and exclusive concepts from within Southern California," Sheridan said.
When renovations are complete, The Range will feature reclaimed tractor seats as bar stools, large retractable doors and reclaimed wood plank flooring. Like its San Diego sister restaurant, The Range in Irvine will serve all-day breakfast foods such as potato chip chicken benedict.

Nasrin Sotoudeh, a lawyer for Rahmanipour, denied he had played any role in the unrest
Iran has hanged two men over widespread protests that followed the country's disputed presidential election in June last year, an Iranian news agency has said.
"Mohammad Reza Ali Zamani and Arash Rahmanipour whose cases were confirmed by a Tehran appeals court were hanged on Thursday morning," the ISNA news agency said.
The pair were convicted of being "Mohareb" or enemies of God, and members of the Kingdom's Assembly, an outlawed pro-monarchist group and the People's Mujahideen, a religious movement.
They were also charged with plotting to topple the Iranian government, ISNA said quoting officials.
The executions were the first carried out for election-related incidents.
'Show trial'
Iranian authorities arrested around 4,000 protesters including journalists and reformist politicians in a massive crackdown in the weeks after the disputed election.
The two were among 11 people sentenced to death on similar charges in the wake of post-election protests.
But Nasrin Sotoudeh, Rahmanipour's lawyer, denied that her client had any role in the post-election disruption.
"He was arrested in Farvardin [the Iranian month covering March-April] before the [presidential] election and charged with co-operation with the [monarchist] Kingdom Assembly," Sotoudeh told AFP.
She also said she was prevented from representing Rahmanipour at his "show trial" in July and that many of the charges were brought against him when he was a minor.
"He confessed because of threats against his family," she said, adding that she was shocked at the news of the executions since she and her client's family had still been waiting for word from the appeals court.
Baqer Moin, an Iranian author and journalist, said the execution was a "political decision", likely intended to "set an example and to frighten some of the people who may shout a slogans that are not of the liking of the authorities". "We don't really know which group they belong to, one of them is a monarchist and the other one is the Mujahideen group, obviously the Mujahideen group is not very popular but little is known about the monarchist group," he told Al Jazeera. "Their lawyers have said that these people were arrested much before the elections, I suppose that they have been used as an example specifically as we are approaching the anniversary of the revolution."
He said: "It is an attempt to make sure that the radicals within the opposition movements are not going to take the lead in the anniversary of the revolution."
The June 12 presidential election plunged Iran into its deepest internal crisis since the 1979 Islamic revolution and exposed widening political divisions.
The reformist opposition says the election was rigged to secure the re-election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the president.
Denying fraud, Tehran portrayed the protests as a foreign-backed bid to undermine Iran's Islamic system of government.

Important revisions in the 2008 NFPA 1583 focus on:
New Annex material offers hands-on assistance.
Annex material is reorganized to help fire departments provide an adequate facility, rather than a prescriptive list of equipment.

New Yogi Promotion!
All new clients can now receive an unlimited month of yoga for only $40. (A $100 savings!) To receive this, you must come into one of our three locations and fill out a registration form. This deal is not available for purchase online.
Use this first month to try out classes, teachers, and times that will work best for your yogahOMe routine. To get started, visit any yogahOMe studio today!
- Make it part of your yoga practice to arrive early. Getting to class about 10 minutes early can help you sign in, settle in and align your attitude with the purpose of the class. While you're waiting you can practice a pose, do a few stretches or just sit or lie quietly, breathe and get centered. If it will be your first time at hOMe, please arrive 15 minutes early. You'll need to fill out a short form.
- Repeatedly arriving late to class can be disruptive to others. We realize that situations do occur, however. If you do arrive late, politely prepare yourself for class at the door (put away your keys, remove your coat, cover-up, shoes) and have your mat ready to unroll quietly as you enter the room.
- Tell your teacher about any injuries or special health conditions that might affect your practice. If you are injured or tired, skip poses you can't or shouldn't do or try a modified version.
- Remove your shoes before entering the studio… NO SHOES IN THE STUDIO
- Please turn off cell phones, pagers & anything that makes noise. Even out in the lobby.
- Please refrain from wearing fragrances as some people are allergic to strong odors and asthma is often triggered by synthetic fragrance.
- Keep your eyes on your own practice.
- Be aware of the space around you – avoid bumping into your neighbor – avoid stepping on other people's mats.
- It is helpful to come with an empty stomach. Allow 2-3 hours digestion after a large meal
- If you must leave class early, do it before Savasana (final relaxation pose). Also, please know that Savasana is essential. If you need to leave early, allow yourself a few minutes in corpse pose to reap in the benefits of your shortened practice. This also alerts others around you that you plan to leave class a bit early.
- Always create an intention. To help you focus, you might find it helpful to dedicate your practice to a certain intention. This might be to become more aware and understanding, more loving and compassionate, or healthier, stronger and more skillful. Or it might be for the benefit of a friend, a cause – or even yourself.
- Bring a big towel if you are attending a vigorous class or Hot Yoga. Towels are available to borrow complementary.
- Read class descriptions and take the class that's appropriate for your level of experience.
- Pick up and neatly put away any props you use. Be a good yogi and clean your borrowed mat before putting it away. Mat disinfectant is kept at the studio.
- Speak in hushed tones before and after class. Loud voices can interfere with students who have arrived early for meditation or staying after class for some quieting time. Be respectful of the volume of your conversations.
- Come in with an open mind and an open heart and take time afterwards to think about what you did in class, so you can retain what you learned. Review the poses you practiced and note any instructions that particularly made sense. Even if you remember just one thing from each class, you'll soon have a lot of information that can deepen your own personal practice.
- The most important thing…enjoy yourself and have fun with your yoga practice!
What is 'asana'? What is 'vinyasa'?
In yoga, the word 'asana' refers to the poses
themselves and 'vinyasa' means 'to move with breath'. At yogahOMe we practice vinyasa yoga– the linking of each post to your breath. Matching your body's movement with your inhalation and exhalation
deepens your practice and gives you greater strength and balance.
Where should I begin?
Be gentle to your body to be strong. please begin the practice with Gentle, New to Yoga, or Slow Flow classes to gather knowledge of how to link yoga with your body. We want our yogis to be healthy and safe.
Should I eat and drink before I come?
Avoid practicing on a very full or empty stomach. Drinking water during class is fine, but drinking water all day is the best rule. Definitely bring water (and a towel) to hot yoga classes.
How do I keep from being sore?
Yoga is a journey, not a destination. Listen to your body– back off or come out of a pose if it hurts, and push yourself when you feel ready. Practice should make you feel good. Know that yoga is not a
competition– that's what it's called a practice.
I didn't understand all of the poses? Is that okay?
Sure. Everyone begins somewhere. Feel free to ask questions before and after class. Private instruction is also a great way to gain a foundation for your practice.
What should I wear? What else do I need?
Comfortable clothes that move with you, but don't get in the way are best. We have rental mats, but a personal mat is best. Props (blocks and straps) are available.
What class is right for me?
The one you can get to. Seriously. There are classes for different ability levels, but no class is too difficult because you decide the pace you feel.
What time should I arrive?
If it's you first time ever, 15-20 minutes early. Otherwise, 10 minutes should be fine.
I've never done yoga before, can I come to any class?
As long as it says 'mixed level' or 'beginner' you should be fine. Mixed level classes can be good for a beginner because you'll be around more advanced students.
What if I have an illness or an injury? What if I'm pregnant?
Let your instructor know! They can provide modifications for you.
I'm not very flexible, can I still come?
Yes, absolutely. A very common misconception is that if you aren't flexible, then you can't do yoga. Not true at all! Yoga will increase your flexibility with each class, no matter how 'inflexible' you consider yourself to be.
How long is each class?
Most classes are an hour and 15 minutes long. Some are an hour though–be sure to check the schedule.

There are bound to be questions when travelling. Information on everything from weather to internet connections can be found below.
Checked Luggage – General
Due to space restrictions, we ask that you please limit your checked luggage to one suitcase per person weighing no more than 50 pounds (23 kg) and with overall dimensions (length + width + height) not exceeding 62 inches (158 cm).
Besides complying with the Tauck restriction noted above, you should also be sure to research and comply with all airline baggage restrictions relating to your flights to and from your Tauck journey. Airlines have become much more strict in enforcing size and weight limits in recent years, and luggage exceeding airline standards for size or weight may result in expensive overage fees or other consequences.
Airlines are free to revise luggage policies without notice, and certain airlines have different baggage allowances for different classes of service. Researching and complying with airline luggage restrictions is the responsibility of the guest, and Tauck cannot be held responsible for any costs or disruptions to travel caused by the failure to research and comply with airline policies.
Please be sure to attach your Tauck luggage tag to your suitcase before leaving home!
Carry-on Luggage - General
Although oversize bags and wheeled, carry-on luggage are popular for airline travel, they are often not convenient or appropriate for motor coach travel or for many on-tour flights. Most modern sightseeing motor coaches offer limited space for numerous or larger items. Space under seats or in the overhead rack is typically small, and designed to accommodate items like coats, hats, purses, and small camera bags, etc.
For your day-to-day travel while on tour, we recommend that you limit your hand luggage to a small, soft-sided carry-on piece, and that you bring only those items you need handy during the day such as make-up, medications, cameras, film, etc. Items too large to fit under the motor coach seat or on the overhead rack must be stored in the luggage bays beneath the motor coach, and may be inaccessible during daytime travel.
If you are a U.S. citizen traveling internationally, you will need a passport valid for six months after the completion of your Tauck journey to enter Ireland; however, you do not need a visa for the short duration of this tour.
If you are a citizen of another country traveling internationally, you should contact an embassy or consulate of Ireland to determine what travel documentation is required.
Please note that longer stays abroad for any purpose may require additional travel documentation.
We recommend that you make at least two photocopies of all the travel documents that you bring with you. Include copies of the photo page of your passport that contains the date of issuance, the date of expiration and your citizenship. Secure one set of copies in the safe in your room while traveling and leave one set behind with someone at home who will assist you in the event your documents are misplaced, lost or stolen.
Transportation to the tour departure point and from the tour ending point is not included.
Although every effort is made to handle your luggage carefully, we cannot be responsible, assume liability or accept claims for loss or damage to luggage and personal effects due to breakage, theft, or fair wear and tear through hotel, airline and group carrier handling. It is important for your own self-interest and protection that you make certain you have adequate insurance to cover these eventualities. Please refer to the Tauck Travel Protection Product section below on this webpage for more information.
Lost luggage is an unfortunate possibility in today's world of airline travel. We suggest that you:
Your Tauck Director will assist you with airline and other carrier communications, but has no inside contacts to guarantee or expedite recovery of lost luggage. All recovery costs, including the communication costs, are your responsibility. Check your travel protection details for covered expenses.
We understand and appreciate the value of instant communication when we travel; it keeps us in touch with friends and family, and it's a reassurance in the event of an emergency. However, the use of cell phones can be disruptive to a tour and to other guests who are enjoying their vacation. As a courtesy to others, we ask that you refrain from using your cell phone while on the motor coach, during group functions, when sightseeing and when your Tauck Director is addressing the group as a whole. There will be many opportunities to make and receive calls at times when it does not affect others.
Please contact your cell phone carrier to determine whether your service extends to Ireland.
A Week in … Ireland involves a considerable amount of walking. To enjoy this tour, you should be in good health and able to walk reasonable distances, often over unpaved and uneven surfaces. Some of the most memorable sightseeing can only be accomplished on foot. The amount of walking you do, however, is at your discretion. The visits to the Cliffs of Moher and Glendalough are challenging due to the steep climbs and long walk involved in the sightseeing. The visit to Blarney Castle is somewhat more challenging, with a steep climb up a narrow, winding staircase if you wish to kiss the stone.
Most hotels do not have special handicap access rooms. Dromoland Castle does not have elevators but there are guest rooms at ground level. Dromoland Castle has a handicap lift to the floor where the welcome reception will be held; the floor is also accessible by climbing 20 to 30 stairs depending on the actual room assignment.
PLEASE NOTE: We regret that this Tauck itinerary cannot accommodate wheelchairs or motorized scooters. Likewise, we regret that we're unable to provide individual assistance to guests with walking difficulties or other personal needs. The responsibility of the Tauck Director who accompanies your trip is to ensure that the larger group enjoys a relaxing and informative journey, and he or she cannot be relied upon to provide ongoing individual assistance to any one guest. Guests requiring such individualized assistance must be accompanied by an able-bodied companion who can provide it.
While drinking water is generally safe at all our hotels, bottled water will be available wherever the local water is not fit to drink. We also provide bottled water on the motor coaches.
If you are interested in sporting activities, opportunities to play golf are available at Dromoland Castle. You may rent clubs and purchase golf balls but you will have to bring your own footwear. If you are interested in playing golf please advise your Tauck Director at the beginning of the tour so that tee times can be booked for you in advance to avoid disappointment.
Tennis facilities and fishing opportunities are also available at Dromoland Castle. You will have the opportunity to swim in the pool at each of the hotels used on this tour. Any expenses incurred in conjunction with these optional activities are at your own expense.
Ireland has introduced a ban on smoking in all enclosed places of work in Ireland. This includes all bars, night clubs, restaurants and hotels. Although the public spaces within the hotel are non-smoking, you may request a smoking guest room at your hotel.
Please check with your health insurance provider to determine whether you are covered while traveling. If you will not be covered under your current policy, we strongly suggest that you arrange for adequate coverage while on tour.
If you have a medical condition that might limit your participation in activities, please consult your physician for pre-departure health advice and notify us as soon as possible, if you have not already done so. We will advise your Tauck Director accordingly.
If you are a resident of the U.S., no vaccinations are currently required for travel to Ireland. For complete vaccination and inoculation information, please contact your physician, the public health service in your area, or the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to obtain further information. The Travelers' Health Section of the CDC operates a 24-hour "Travelers' Health Hotline" at 800-232-4636 (toll-free in the U.S.). You may also log on to the CDC website by clicking here.
If you are a resident of another country, please contact an embassy or consulate of Ireland to determine what vaccination(s) may be required for your travel.
If you are traveling from the U.S., the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) requires that your name, as it appears on your domestic or international airline ticket, must precisely match your name as it appears on the government-issued photo ID (i.e., passport or driver's license) that you present during security screening. The ID name must also match any additional airline data, such as frequent-flyer information. For example, if you present your driver's license to security and it says John T. Smith, your ticket must also say John T. Smith, not John Thomas Smith, Jack Smith, or any other variant. Your date-of-birth and gender information provided to the airline must also match your passport.
If you make your air travel arrangements through us, please ensure that the name you provide us precisely matches your name as shown on the identification you will use while traveling. If you make your own airline reservations, please ensure that the airline has the correct information.
For more information on the TSA's requirements, please visit their website by clicking here.
If you are traveling from an airport outside the jurisdiction of the U.S., you will need to determine what travel documentation and identification is required for that particular airport.
Due to heightened security regulations, certain items such as a metal nail file, pocketknife, cigarette lighter, or tweezers, and some liquid, gel, or aerosol items may not be permitted in your carry-on luggage. Please call your airline prior to departure to obtain current information on non-permissible carry-on items and recommended airport check-in times.

The weather in Ireland is moderate. Your journey is designed with leisure in mind. Dress for comfort and convenience with a wardrobe that is adaptable and allows for layering. Generally, during the day, casual, comfortable, cotton clothing is recommended. Cool weather at higher elevations or at night will require warmer, layered clothing.
In Europe, especially in finer restaurants, it is generally customary to dress somewhat formally. Slacks or a dress for women and a jacket and tie for men are acceptable dining attire, but a jacket is not required. It is advisable to avoid wearing jeans, sneakers or shorts for dinner. You may also wish to dress up a bit for the welcome reception and the farewell dinner, but by all means be comfortable.
You will find a hair dryer located in your hotel guest room. Irons and ironing boards are available upon request. Valet laundry and dry cleaning services are also available for a fee.
We recommend that you pack an adequate supply of your prescription medication in its original container to last through your entire journey, together with a copy of your doctor's prescription or a letter from your health-care provider on office stationery explaining that the medication has been prescribed for you, a list of the generic names of your medication, your travel documents and a change of clothing in your carry-on bag to avoid any inconvenience in the event that your flight or luggage is delayed.

-The Tauck Guest Relations Team
We started in Shannon and stayed at Dromoland Castlen. Biggest room we ever had on any Tauck tour. Gave our new friends a guided tour! Dinner the first evening was preceded by an Irish Bagpiper in full regalia, leading us to our private dining room. Wonderful start. Mohrer cliffs were really outstanding. Waterford Glass Co. was quite interesting.
Climbing up the inside of Blarney Castle before kissing the Blarney Stone.
This was an excellent trip that was well controlled in spite of a large number in the group. Available time was appropriate and well timed.
Was amazed at the Jamison trip and a wonderful meal.
The best trip I have ever taken. the hotels were fabulous, the outings, trips, dinners, music, everything was great, great fun, most beautiful countryside I have evern seen. Would go back in a minute. Our tour guide was the best!
I did not have one moment, they were all so wonderful. Perhaps the visit to the farmhouse that had been convereted to a B&B, meeting the family and the wonderful poem recited by the owner.
A "Week in Ireland" was all that I expected and more. Thank you for the wonderful memories.
How is it possible for a 'trip of a lifetime' to have been experienced in just one week? Tauck has successfully brought Ireland to us on a silver platter. The castle of Dromoland brought to mind the days of knights in shining armor. There were many activities, beautiful gardens and magnificent employees who smilingly attended to our every need
Deciding which memorable moment to choose is like trying to pick a favorite child. Impossible....however; interacting with the Harris Hawks was an experience I shall never forget. The guide, Jim, was extremely knowledgeable and fun to be with. The Cliffs of Moher were astounding and I could envision ancient relatives upon the cliffs.
lovely hotels,very good food-except one awful bag lunch-good entertainment,diverse activities-could have used a bit more of the history in places we went!!
watching my wife kiss the Blarney Stone in a downpour!!
great trip well run
jamison distillory dinner
As I think back on the trip, there were a couple of things that could have been better.
1. The first day was a waste for us. On past tours we have begun the tour in a city where there were things to do. This one started at the Castle where we just sat around for hours waiting for a room.
2. Dinner on the last night was really mediocre!
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are very sorry some aspects of this trip fell below your expectations but please rest assured that your comments will be addressed with management. We thank you for your patronage and hope you will travel with us again.
The trip was great. Hotels were superb, staying in a castle was magical. Wish I had booked an extra day in Dublin at the end of the trip, loved it there. Joe was the best driver ever
I really enjoyed Dublin, trip to Jameson was awesome. I went to Guinness in my free time, so fun!
Harris Leven
My wife and I embarked on Tauck's "A Week in Ireland," immediately followed by "A Week in Scotland." While Ireland and Scotland have much in common, each has its own unique joys. Where else can you compare whiskEY to whiskY and have such fun doing it! Plus the little extras that Tauck added to the journeys made the overall trip that much better.
For my wife, it was the beautiful countryside of Ireland and the friendliness of the people, particularly the couple we met on a visit to a family dairy farm. For me, it was in Scotland with the dramatic scenery of the Highlands and the historical magnificence of its castles and the sites in Edinburgh.
We enjoyed our Week in Ireland trip tremendosly. However we needed a few days rest when we got home after all the running!Our tour director was full of information and the beautful countryside never ending. Our accomadations and meals were incredible. The weather did not cooperate and we completely missed the Cliffs of Moher. Next time!
We loved the Blarney Castle and surrounding grounds. We kissed the Blarney stone, it wasn't easy to get up there on the narrow stairs, in the tight passage ways and in the rain but we did it! The opportunity to really investigate the castle and touch the same stones as many generations before did made the trip worth it.
This was a really nice trip. It was a good pace, and the weather was better than we had expected. We had been told that we could encounter some rainy and cool days, but the luck of the Irish was with us and produced very comfortable days overall.
Tauck is known for surprises, and that is always a treat. We enjoyed the visit to Waterford Crystal and the time spent listening to a senior Irish citizens at a working farm that had been in the family for 100s of years. The time spent in Dublin was very memorable. The hotel accommodations were top notch.
This trip was excellent. From the rep meeting us to the airport in Shannon to take us to the hotel all the way to the rep meeting us at the hotel to take us to the Dublin airport. The accommodations were superb and well placed in each city. The meals also were quite good. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and helpful.
The tour and whiskey tasting at the Jameson Factory was my most memorable and fun. The music, dancers, and of course the whiskey and meal made this so. My fellow travelers getting up to dance with the Irish dancers was a blast!
Suzie Fox
This was a trip to be remembered forever! I have traveled extensively and used many different tour companies, but at the recommendation of my travel agent, I booked this Tauck trip for 8 days in Ireland. Everything was clearly explained before departure, and every days was organized to maximize visits and avoid long lines or long bus rides.
Difficult to say, so many were wonderful. I suppose the quality of the lodging and food, so consistent and so excellent. Driving a 45 passenger bus on tiny Irish roads was a challenge and our driver did it with style. Our guide knew Irish history and made it so interesting! And I got to see my husband kiss the Blarney Stone!
This was our 1st Tauck trip. It was more then we ever expected. Right from the beginning with our tour leader Jane and bus driver Denis. They made us feel like family and Jane's presentation was very informative. Our whole trip was special with extras included with our tour. A private little concert, private dinner, beautiful hotels. Well done.
Doing a special trip to the home of Mr and Mrs Fenton. We were welcomed with tea and goodies, then given a talk about their family and growing up in Ireland. Also the private dinner at the Jamison distillery with the Irish dancers and music was a grand time.
Absolutely a treasured experience. The beauty of Ireland is only surpassed by the beauty of its people. Their homes are beautifully tended everywhere showing so much care and pride and in every circumstance they make you feel extremely welcome. Makes you respect their history, strength and passion for their country.
Trip is very fast paced but the itinerary makes it worth it. Dromoland is not to be missed and the many "people" moments Tauck provides are most memorable. The walk with Sean at Dromoland and the concert at Fin Barre were treasured highlights. The guided tour of Kinsale, Fort George, Dublin and Glendalough with the help of our "whispers" great!
We had always wanted to see Ireland because many of our ancestors came to the US from there. That made the trip memorable and our tour guide was very knowledgeable about Ireland's history. That said, there wasn't as much to see as in other countries...too much time on the bus. Dollar for dollar,we felt our last trip (to Italy) was a better value.
Concert in St. Fin Farre Cathedral
Would you recommend Tauck to a friend?Maybe
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. I am sorry this journey fell below your expections. One of our Guest Relations Specialists will contact you to discuss this matter in more detail.
The beauty of Ireland was surpassed only by the charm and friendliness of the Irish people. Fabulous tour guide was exceptionally knowledgeable and her passion for the country enhanced our trip a great deal.
Walking on the streets of Dublin just taking in the Irish culture. Also seeing River Dance in Dublin was an awesome experience.
This was our first trip to Ireland and our first trip with Tauck. It was a great experience. The knowledge of our tour guide Maggie was exceptional and her ability to communicate this to us was excellent.
There were a lot of memorable moments and a lot of beautiful sights to see. However the most memorable may have been the visit to the farm and meeting the family and hearing their story. This was a bonus as it was really not mentioned in the trip information and gave us a better understanding of the people of Ireland.
We are delighted you enjoyed your journey to this wonderful country and returned with so many memoorable moments!
Loved it. TAUCK really knows how to do this.
Stay in Castle
The hotels,food, and service were outstanding and the Irish people were very friendly and made our holiday very pleasant
There is nothing special to do or see so it made the long bus rides a little difficult
The breakfasts and service at the hotels
Amazed by how many pubs there are and how many Irish drink beer at all times of the day
We are pleased you enjoyed your overall journey with us and thank you for your feedback.
Our second Tauck adventure, your caretakeing, choice of accomodations and sites chosen are unparalleled. Brenna Shay did a stellar job of explaining history, geography,customs etc, really
a fun and knowledgeable hostess and a genuine Tauck asset. Even the weather surpassed our expectations. (promised rain did not occur!)
Inhaleing our first refreshment at Dromoland Castle after 26 hours of planes, busses, trains and Blarney due to insufficient time between connecting flights. (Same problem on return from Dublin-British Airways should be cudgeled)
We are delighted you enjoyed you jour journey to this magical destination and returned with many memories!
Wendy R
Loved this trip! The hotel properties were absolutely first rate. The scenery was breathtaking. The historical sites were fascinating. Our guide, Maggie, was outstanding. Our only suggestion for improvement is more structure around the Dublin part of the itinerary. If you go, plan your sight-seeing in Dublin beforehand.
View from the Caha Pass
Thank you for your feedback and we are thrilled you enjoyed your journey.
The tour was nearly perfect. Weather could not have been better. Guide was very caring and knowledgeable. Her assistance and demeanor were professional. The accommodations were spectacular. Each room was lovely.
The scenery was all that we had hoped for. The length of time was good for all that we planned.
We cannot select one! Waterford, Jameson, Cliffs of Mohrer, Caha Pass, Glendalough, Dublin museums. Each represented a different perspective of Ireland
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are so pleased you enjoyed your journey to this wonderful country!
Everything about the trip was outstanding: 5 star hotels and resturants; flawless coach travel; amazing tours and exposure to locals, history, and culture. The key item that made this trip so exceptional, however, was the Tauck tour guide. Maggie's knowledge, experience, expertise, and skills were the most valuable asset to this trip
Laughing and singing during our private concert with local musicians and dancers after an amazing day filled with beautiful sites, lovely people, delicious food, and ancient history.
We have been on several Tauck tours and this one certainly maintains their high standards. The Tauck tour director was excellent. She provided very interesting history and local commentary as the coach was moving from one location to the next. The sights we visited were well chosen and lodging/food was always superb.
Choosing a single memorable moment is an impossible task. The stories that the tour director recounted would be high on the list. The visit to the ruins at Glendalough and the starkness of the Burren were particularly impressive.
At first I was skeptical about taking a tour and being on a rigid schedule but it worked out wonderfully. Being on a schedule really allowed us to see more of Ireland than my mother and I would have been able to on our own. It was a nice combination of touring but also gave us free time as well.
Our night at the Irish House Party to learn about Irish music in a very light hearted way with lots of laughs. They are an extremely talented group. The Westbury Hotel was the perfect place to stay due to being right in the heart of Dublin and in walking distance to everything.
Had a wonderful time in Ireland. Hotels are the best you can find, food was wonderful and our tour director Maggie was the best ! I cannot reccomend this tour enough.
Seeing the cliffs of Moher

This was a terrific trip. We took along our two children (Ages 9 and 13), in spite of this being a non_bridges excursion. They enjoyed the trip as much as my wife and I did. The Tauck excursion guide was excellent. She filled offered just the right amount of history and current information about the people and the countryside.
We loved it! Every detail was thought of for us. No waiting in lines for admission tickets, no need to have extra small bills to tip the bellmen, no worries about where we were going - didn't even have to find good restaurants. All was done for us! Our accommodations were top notch. The entire vacation was pure pleasure and stress-free.
We knew we were in for a special experience when we checked into our first hotel, Dromoland Castle. It set the tone for the entire vacation. An absolutely beautiful hotel with the finest staff.
Thought I would like Ireland but fell in LOVE with it! This was a fantastic tour! Stunningly beautiful scenery and warm and special touches provided by Tauck!
Actually from the moment we were whisked away from the Shannon airport to our "Castle" every moment was memorable and really special!

I did not know what to expect on the Ireland tour. Our tour guide was brilliant, and imbued me with a desire to get to know the country better. Scenery and history were fascinating, co-travellers were friendly, and the food was top notch. There were some unnecessary fillers (train ride to Dublin), but overall, the tour was very well planned.
Visiting the Irish prison. Seeing Riverdance in Dublin.

I loved this product for the short time I had to try it out. It was at our local pharmacy for 9.99 and for a drug store prod i thought too expensive. It FINALLY went on sale for 8.99 and i bought it LOL.
It scrubs well and the petroleum jelly in it makes your legs feel uber moisturized when you are out of the shower.
It has since gone up to 18.00 for that price, id rather hit up The Body Shop
The smell..The smell... is amazing.
It does its job, it gets rid of dead skin and makes your skin nice smooth and soft!
Its also cheap for a huge pot too!
I only use this on my feet (my skins pretty sensitive but I have another S&G scrub I use which is lass harsh). It works wonders! My feet used to be in a pretty bad state because I never did anything to them. One use of this and, with the help of a pumice stone, they were lovely and soft, obviously not perfect but way better than if I used a different product (and I have).
Great scrub and great smell. I use it in the shower and on my hands and feet before mani/pedi. The entire line is nice, but this is my favorite!
I discovered this scrub some years ago, thanks to my daughter, who'd started using it. It was my first purchase from Soap and Glory and led to me trying quite a few more of their excellent products.
This is an excellent body scrub....not one of these "namby-pamby, can hardly feel it, gentle" type scrubs but a great exfoliator for you body that will remove all the dead surface skin and the scaly skin on winter-dry legs and leave your skin feeling soft, gently scented and ready to drink up whatever body lotion or cream you want to apply. In summer, I can actually skip body lotion some of the time because this does leave my skin with a nice, light layer of oil overtop. And, of course, it leaves behind the lovely subtle scent of Miss Dior Cherie (it's S&G products that prompted me to buy a big bottle of Miss Dior Cherie after eschewing Dior fragrance products my whole life). My only quibble is the large open jar packaging. I use this in the shower and it's hard to keep water from getting into the product. A big tube with a large opening would be much more practical although with the jar, you can get every last bit of product. A definite "repurchase" product for me.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I just want to say WOW! When it comes to body scrubs I am not very fussy, after all it just has to have some nicely sized exfoliating beads to create some friction and exfoliate your skin, right? But after I used Flake Away I could definitely tell the difference between a so so body scrub and a good one. This stuff is amazing. It got rid of all the dead skin, made my skin baby smooth, moisturized just right, and the lovely scent lasted all day long. I do not feel the need to wear perfume when I use this. Will definitely, absolutely, surely re purchase!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Whilst I love S&G this scrub was too harsh for me it irritated my legs badly. Great scent but I much prefer their breakfast scrub.
I absolutely LOVE the smell of this scrub! It really makes my legs smooth. The downside is that if you use a bit too much, it will make your legs or the area you used it on greasy. IF you use just the right amount, you will have smooth legs and it doesn't dry out your skin either! I definitely recommend this product to all the girls out there with dry, flaky skin!
I've already raved enough about soap and glory
This brand and this product has honestly saved my dry rough skin and transformed it into beautifuly soft and touchable. I could not reccomend it enough. If you suffer from very dry, rough and sometimes sensetive/reactive skin..Please consider giving this a go!
added points for the cute packaging.
I love this scrub for it's rough texture and fresh smell. It really does do the job without drying out your skin. I don't like the overly greasy residue, or the way it does gum up the tub, as other reviewers have mentioned. But I guess I'll put up with it because I love the way this scrub works.

Easter 2012, the greatest feast day in the Christian 2012 calendar, celebrates the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, is going to take place on April 8 this year.
Christians believe, according to Scripture, that Jesus came back to life, or was raised from the dead, three days after his death on the cross. As part of the Easter season, the death of Jesus Christ by crucifixion is commemorated on Good Friday, always the Friday just before Easter. Through his death, burial, and resurrection, Jesus paid the penalty for sin, thus purchasing for all who believe in him, eternal life in Christ Jesus.
Easter Season
In Western Christianity, Easter marks the end of Lent, a 40-day period of fasting, repentance, moderation and spiritual discipline in preparation for Easter. Lent begins on Ash Wednesday and ends on Easter Sunday. Eastern Orthodox churches observe Lent or Great Lent, during the 6 weeks or 40 days preceding Palm Sunday with fasting continuing during the Holy Week of Easter. Lent for Eastern Orthodox churches begins on Monday and Ash
Determining the Date of Easter
In Western Christianity, Easter is always celebrated on the Sunday immediately following the Paschal Full Moon. "Easter is always celebrated on the Sunday immediately following the first full moon after the vernal (spring) equinox." This statement was true prior to 325 AD; however, over the course of history (beginning in 325 AD with the Council of Nicea), the Western Church decided to established a more standardized system for determining the date of Easter.
Easter Presents
Typical Easter presents are related to Spring, vitality and something like that. For example, eggs, springer, bunny, flowers especially lily. On Easter Vigil, the children will paint on the chicken eggs with colorful patterns, the egg is widely used as a symbol of the start of new life, just as new life emerges from an egg when the chick hatches out.
Of course, people will also get themselves dressed up on Easter, that's always regarded as a symbol of hope for life and vitality. (Easter shopping http://www.everytide.com )

The Mangetout that we planted a few weeks ago in Jackson's garden is growing well. He was amazed that it came up so fast and we put some sticks in for them to grow up. He wants to know if we can eat them yet? And even though I said that they won't be ready for some time I expect he'll still pick some and taste it, just to see!
He never believes me when I say things aren't ready. He spat out quite a few green Strawberries last year before he admitted that I was right. He has a will of iron.
And… at the moment Jacskson's little patch has more growing in it than my garden. All I have showing are some sprouting Onions and a row of Radish. I need to start concentrating on my patch! Ho-hum.

Hidden Danger Of Asbestos In Schools "Comes As No Surprise"
LONDON, November 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
A specialist industrial disease lawyer has said that the closure of a Welsh high school after ten times more than acceptable levels of asbestos were found comes as no surprise, adding that the hidden danger of asbestos in our schools has been known for years.
Bridget Collier, head of the Industrial Disease team at Fentons Personal Injury Solicitors LLP and a specialist in asbestos claims, said that the shock closure of the 900-strong Cwmcarn High School was potentially just the tip of the iceberg.
"The Cwmcarn case does not come as any great surprise, as we have known for years that asbestos was widely used in schools, typically for fireproofing and insulation," said Bridget. "But the dangerously high levels of asbestos found in that particular school have thrust it under the spotlight."Reports over the last few weeks have detailed how workmen discovered airborne asbestos fibres that were ten times acceptable levels in the main block, leading to Cwmcarn High School being closed suddenly last month. Now a further specialist report has described the levels of asbestos in the school as posing 'potential serious risk to health', advising that it should be demolished. "Since the closure we have received numerous calls from former pupils and staff at the school, as well as those from many others, who suspect they may have been exposed to asbestos," said Bridget. "It is believed that as many as 70% of schools built before 2000 will have asbestos in them, and that wherever maintenance, repair or new construction has taken place, there is potentially some risk that needs to be managed. "In this case, the specialist asbestos management company's report suggests that ceiling tiles being disturbed by draughts, repairs to the electrical circuit and even pupils scraping chairs and tables in classrooms may have caused damage to asbestos boards," said Bridget. "It also said that asbestos in the roof void may have been blown around the building by the heating system."
