Replyroclexus, December 11, 2011, 07:03Rookie
inside around the spark plug 1mechanic says theres nothing wrong with the motor but there are worn parts in it so he would jus get a rebuild kit another told me that there is a seal somewhere around the valve covers that might be letting oil get on my spark plugs p.s my car dors have 295,000 miles
Replyeuromech, December 11, 2011, 09:25Journeyman
Valve cover gasket set will fix the problem. You had oil on top of spark plug but aftr you pulled out the oil drain down to the tip.

[video] Jim Cramer Quick Take: Market 'Forgives' Target, Tesla and Lowe's
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- TheStreet's Jim Cramer commented on the jump in Target (TGT), Lowe's (LOW) and Tesla (TSLA) stock. "Ya gotta love a market" being in "forgiveness mode" was his assessment.
The stock jumps are a bit counterintuitive. Cramer explained the market attitude to companies that have done poorly: "You did badly? We expect you to do badly -- let's buy your stock."
Target and Lowe's have run into business difficulties, but investors aren't penalizing them just now. After Home Depot (HD) reported, Lowe's rose, too. Even with merely OK numbers, Lowe's drew investors in, Cramer said. Home Depot is a holding in his charitable porfolio, Action Alerts PLUS.
Cramer remarked that Target is "rather amazing." After its data breach, investors might have shied away. Instead they accepted Target's word that things are improving and didn't flinch at its 2.5% drop in comparable-store sales.Tesla has been doing well, but has climbed even more. Why? Cramer sees a good Consumer Reports piece and Morgan Stanley's price bump as helping the stock. Cramer characterized the market as in "bountiful mode -- if you've got high growth." --Written by Nora Morrison in Cleveland At the time of publication, the author held no positions in any of the stocks mentioned.

I am a soldier for the empire, a product of the post nation-state, globalised world. I remember when it first hit me. It was at the job fair hosted at the American University in Cairo in 2008, prior to my graduation. In a sea of corporate booths, one particular image struck me: a veiled woman standing beneath a banner that read Halliburton. What a curious sight; a devout Muslim woman promoting the oilfield service company that used to be run by Dick Cheney and that made millions of dollars off the exploitation and suffering of the Iraqi people. Irked by finding footprints of imperialism in my proverbial backyard, I took a seat, which presented me with a panoramic view of the fair. I was struck by the lack of diversity in terms of job opportunities and career paths the event had to offer. It was a homogenous buffet of multinationals trying to lure in the next generation of loyal servants. Our collective fate as "elite graduates" was was to serve the world's corporate kings and strengthen their hegemony in the newly established neo-liberal status quo.
I decided there and then that I would not attend my graduation, a naïve rebellion perhaps, but I just couldn't see myself celebrating. I pictured the South American, Arab and African dictators that attended the military schools in the West only to come back home and subject their respective populations to the will of the powerful. I felt a bit like them; expect I wasn't a soldier of military but economical might, marching to the drumbeat of global capitalism in a world where capital, unlike people, was not restricted by borders, thus allowing the masters of money carte blanche access to the economical fabric of most developing nations, bridging a wider gap between the rich and the poor. Developing countries now looked like this: a tiny first world basking in consumerism and a vast third world neglected, forgotten and living in the shadows of la dolce vita.
After receiving my bachelor's degree in business administration, I decided to put down my arms and become a conscientious objector instead of following the majority of my classmates into the dungeons of the corporate world for good pay while selling shampoo products with hyperbolic cynicism to the different "target markets" of "the demographically rich" Egypt. I couldn't change the fact that I was being formed as child for the empire, tailored to suit and serve an economical status quo that I knew was detrimental to the genuine development of my nation,but I could at least outwit the conditions of my manufacturing and have the freedom to create my own path from that point on.
After some further introspection of my "condition," I've identified five macro symptoms of the imperial soldier.
1) Theft of National Culture, Language and Identity
During the Nasser era, the regime tried to compensate years of imperialism and racial hierarchy by reinforcing the Arabic language. National pride was high and the epoch was characterised by an abundance of great literature, powerful singers, and a thriving cinema industry. Its figures created a bond of national unity, a necessary illusion that maintained the dignity and stability of the people. When the utopia of the era dried out because of the crumbling economy, the humiliation against Israel and the deaths of the two icons of that time: AbdelHalim Hafez and Gamal Abdel Nasser, Egypt lost its compass and suffered from an identity crisis. From that vulnerability emerged the drastic and rapid changes that still have lingering effects in Egypt today, and our generation hails from the post pan-Arab world: the age of the open door policy which is more or less a euphemism for auctioning off the country to the highest bidders.
Our generation grew up in a coated bubble, filled with the joys of globalisation: private international language schools, the beginning of the Internet and its creaking dial-up connection, exclusive satellite channels subscriptions (Orbit vs. Showtime) and the gradual dissemination of English as the default working language. Our culture was thus forged by a variety of factors and realities that were alien to the majority of the populace. I was a 15-year-old that spoke better French than Arabic, listened to Radiohead religiously and that judged the Usual Suspects as the greatest film of all time. Keizer Soze was bad ass but my bubble was small, repetitive and sheltered from the bigger picture.
2) Disdain of the Poor and Inferiority Complex
In my building, there are two elevators; one is accessible to the residents and their guests, the other one, called service, is reserved for the delivery guy, the ba2al, the fakahani and other lesser folk. Ironically, this same service elevator was, during the British occupation, created for Egyptians to use while the main elevator only welcomed the English. The genius of the era of imperialism is to subtly instill in the elite the colonial attitudes of their past masters. The West is the "civilised world" and the elite, engrained partly in that culture through globalisation, aspire to be similar to it; to have their existence validated by those they judge to have a superior culture. This is often accompanied by a great disdain for the poor who are "dirty," "uneducated," "ignorant" and "primitive". The elite, however, are different, a higher brand, white Arabs, so to speak. His mokh is nedif and his 3ela is kwayessa.
The elite's subconscious is so shifted towards the West that Arab names tend to be transformed into English ones when nicknames are given: Jimmy (Gamal), Joe (Youssef), Timmy (Taymour), Sam (Salem or Sameh), Billy (Nabil) etc. One only has to look at advertising billboards around the city and three of the five faces on the famous constitutional campaign poster to realise the ma7agntitude of our subservient psyche.
3) The Stationed Cubicle
Imperialist soldiers are rarely encouraged to study majors that enhance critical thinking and self-growth. Instead, the psyche is titled towards studying majors that will be useful in the private job market, which itself is designed by the demands of the global economic order. Whereas the poor often are restricted to manufacture the goods of the capitalist market for abysmal pay, the rich are often recruited to strengthen and vindicate the capitalist philosophy which explains why they often end up in non-manual jobs, riddled in bullshit : advertising, PR, consultancy, trading etc.
They are of course well paid (rich slaves cost more) but these jobs contribute as much to society as the poor lad who presses buttons on the elevator contributes to the ride. Since becoming a lawyer or a doctor demands hard work and we rarely grew up making our own beds, these useful jobs are often reserved for the middle class with ascending social mobility aspirations.
4) Digestion of Main Imperialist Narrative
It is also interesting to see how our worldview has digested the main imperialist narrative. Growing up in a post-9/11 world articulated as a battle between Western illumination and barbaric Islamo-obscurantism, we were cornered into molding a perpetual need of over-justification, as if we had a palpable itch to prove to the world that we are the good type of Muslims; you know, those that prefer getting blown to blowing up.
When the Boston bombings occurred, my Facebook live feed was full of statuses of Egyptians offering condolences to the victims. Nothing wrong with that but where were those statuses when Tamils were being slaughtered in Sri Lanka, when the Congo was being raped, when Somalia become a country reincarnated in the tiger blood of Charlie Sheen? It seems that our sympathy only extends to those who look like us and to those we seek approval from. The West has become the mirror with which we see ourselves and our mind has been rebooted into continually trying to serve them a more positive image of ourselves. Our worldview has been limited to a ridiculous binary dance between East and West, strong and weak, in which we are both angry and apologetic, victim and perpetrator, but seldom introspective.
This is the canvas in which our world is painted, its brush is not in our hands and whatever happens outside its frame is not be visible and therefore cons on into thinking it does not exist. Notice how proud we are when an Egyptian documentary is nominated for an Oscar and how sad we are when Muslim immigrants are mistreated in the West and compare that to how oblivious we are to the Egyptian documentaries that travel to African or South American festivals and how indifferent we are towards the black immigrants trying to lead a dignified life within our borders. It was also disconcerting to see such blatant submission to the imperial system when Obama's facebook page was bombarded with angry messages from Egyptians, urging him to directly intervene in Egypt and save his "white Arabs" from the retrograde barbarians.
But the true slap in the face was the witnessing of the whole "convince the West that this is not a coup" social media campaign. Who cares what they think, honestly? Do they care that I think that their 2000 election was rigged and that George Bush is funnier than 90% of their sitcoms? No. And why weren't these people also trying to convince the president of China that this allegedly wasn't a coup? Is he not in their canvas? Personally, I wasn't seeking validation from the West regarding June 30th but I must admit that I did write a letter to Tommy Remengesau, the President of Palau, claiming that June 30th was caused by four middle aged women masturbating simultaneously to Mohannad from Nour. I explained that the electricity cut (Yes, fuck Morsi) prior to climax, and when it returned, MBC4 became state TV Channel Two and Mohannad became El Sisi. The dark shades conducted the activity to its orgasmic conclusions and 20 million people poured into the streets to celebrate the first genuine Egyptian female orgasm by parading posters of the suave general and his nipple-erecting gaze. Suffice to say, President Remengseau was skeptical. He simply wrote back "Tawfik Okasha, is this you?"
5) Political Apathy and Conspicuous Consumption
The biggest shift in the era is the transformation of the individual from a citizen to a consumer. The citizen is aware of what the country needs whereas the consumer is aware of what the body wants. Individuals are valued based on their purchasing power, the higher it is, the more important they are to the system.
The explosion of consumer culture has created a generation of apolitical shoppers and shisha poppers, spending their mornings working for the machine and their evenings refueling it. It was interesting to see how very few people from the so-called elite participated in the January 25th revolution in comparison to June 30th. On that occasion, streets were full of Ralph Lauren polo shirts. Perhaps they didn't protest out of genuine political principles but because they feared that their bearded boogie men threatened their tiny first world consumerist paradise. I remember, at one point, how going to Nacelle during MB rule was seen as a fuck you to the system. Nobody ever thought that perhaps Nacelle was a fuck you to the guy selling flowers in the queue?
Post-colonial societies are servants of the balance of power. The quasi-universal formula for developing countries in the imperial system seems to be: a corrupt government, an apolitical consumer elite and an increasingly alienated mass. However, for the imperial system to prosper, it has to find subconscious collaborators and, 1) strip them of their native culture and drive them towards the globalised capitalist one, 2) trigger their colonial complex and indifference towards the poor (the main victims of the system), 3) have them serve the system by 4) immersing them in a worldview and narrative that justifies it and 5) re-defining themselves as its proud participants in terms of making money off it and spending money in it. But what the system doesn't tell you is that you can take off the uniform. There is a whole other canvas to paint and this time you can hold the brush.

By MIKE HUGHES
OK, now I know I should have saved all my childhood toys and comics. Here's the story I sent to papers about the fascinating creator of "The Strain":
By MIKE HUGHES
During a busy blur of new cable shows, "Fargo" is the one that seized my attention. The series (which starts at 10 p.m. Tuesday, April 15) is good in every way -- beautifully written, filmed and -- with Martin Freeman and Billy Bob Thornton playing opposites -- acted. And as someone who has spent a lot of time in Minnesota, I can attest to the fact that it captures that region's quiet and quirky charm. Here's the story I sent to papers:
You've probably heard the notion of the crying clown, the idea that comedy springs from tortured souls. At times, we're told, that's wrong; from Jerry Seinfeld to Jimmy Fallon or Tina Fey, humor comes from cheery people.
Cable keeps finding new ways to dominate the summer. HBO is doing it with quality ("The Newsroom"), TNT and USA with sleek quantity. And now FX has anew approach.
In one overcrowded Thursday, it debuts shows by two eccentric sorts -- Charlie Sheen and Russell Brand -- sandwiching them around the returns of a good show ("Wilfred") and a sometimes-great one ("Louie"). Here's the story I sent to papers:
By MIKE HUGHES
If Thursdays are meant for laughs -- they are, really -- then why stops at 10 p.m.?
Wise viewers start with CBS' "Big Bang Theory," then switch to NBC for three more comedies. There's more tonight, though, with the season-opener of the animated "Archer" at 10, with Burt Reynolds as guest star; here's the story I sent to papers:
By MIKE HUGHES
The world seems to have an unlimited amount of television and a too-limited amount of really good television. So let's celebrate three bursts of good news -- two relating to shows tonight (Wednesday):
1) "Justified" has been renewed for a third season. This show (10 p.m. Wednesdays on FX) crackles with great characters and sharp dialog. Tonight's hour is a pretty good one, as two strong women -- a coal executive and a crime matriarch -- battle over mining rights.
OK, apparently some cable shows do get canceled after all.
The good news this week was that both "Southland" and "Onion News Network" were renewed for a second season. The bad news came this afternoon: "Lights Out" won't be back.
That's too bad, but it's easy to see the up side: This is a show with a logical one-season arc, as "Lights" Leary struggled for a comeback bout to avoid bankruptcy. It's ending with:
One of the best surprises this summer was "Huge," a show with subtlety, charm and flawed characters. It won't be back for a second season.
One of the best surprises this fall was "Terriers," with subtlety, charm and flawed characters. It won't be back next season.
Yes, there's a trend here.
The Fox network started by cleverly going where the others weren't. At various points, it tried all the things the big networks had abandoned. Some failed (there are, at times, good reasons for abandoment) and some succeeded splendidly; Fox revived primetime cartoons ("Simpsons"), variety shows ("In Living Color"), sci-fi ("X-Files") and amateur competitions ("American Idol").

Perfect travel stroller
By Mamacita
from Cambridge, MA
About Me Parent of Multiples (Twins etc)
Best Uses
Comments about City Street Side by Side Stroller - Black:
I got this for my year-old twins for our first air travel trip. (My other stroller is a Baby Jogger City Mini double, which I love but it's too big for extensive travel.) The Delta City Street worked GREAT: easy to open and close, very lightweight, comfortable for my kids, and inexpensive. It's also very narrow for a side-by-side - we loaded up the twins inside our hotel room and easily wheeled them out the door, down the hallway, in the elevator, inside restaurants and shops, etc. It turns very well, too.
I don't recommend this stroller for everyday use, but if you're looking for an inexpensive, lightweight travel stroller, it's perfect.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Dubrovnik to Santorini
Trip code: ZMSEC
Validity: 01 Jan 2014 to 31 Dec 2014
Wind your way down through some of Mediterranean Europe's most charming towns, beaches and islands on this journey from the Adriatic to the Aegean. Start off with a tour of Dubrovnik's enchanting walled city before heading south along the spectacular Dalmatian coast to Montenegro. Venture off the tourist trail for a taste of old-time Balkans in Albania and Macedonia, take time out in provincial Syros, and then eat, drink and sunbathe your way through the good times on offer in Mykonos and Santorini. A region of breathtaking scenery, legendary history and ever-enticing cuisine, this journey through Eastern Europe serves up a slice of the Mediterranean with a Balkans backdrop.
****A tip before booking****Just as a heads up before you book: this trip is new to our range this year. And while we have thoroughly researched every detail of the logistics, new destinations can sometimes throw us some unexpected surprises. More often than not, it'll be a great surprise. But every now and again there might be a hiccup. We like to think that's what puts the 'adventure' in 'adventure travel'.
Table of Contents
To save you money and the hassle of booking multiple trips, this journey is a combination of some of our most popular adventures so your leader and the composition of your group may change.
- Original trips are classic Intrepid adventures. With a mix of included activities and free time, they offer plenty of opportunities to explore at your own pace and take part in activities that really get beneath the skin of a destination. While the occasional meal may be included, you'll have the freedom to seek out your own culinary adventures. Accommodation is generally budget or tourist class (2-3 star), but you're as likely to find yourself as a guest of a local family as staying in a hotel or camping. Transport will vary as well. Depending on the destination and the itinerary you could find yourself travelling on anything from a camel to a train or a private safari vehicle. It's all part of the adventure! Original travellers have a desire to make the most of their travel time and really get to know a place, its people and cultures.
Day 1 Dubrovnik
Dobro Dosli! Welcome to Croatia.
Your adventure begins with a Welcome Meeting at 6pm on Day 1.
Please look for a note in the hotel lobby or ask the hotel reception where it will take place. If you can't arrange a flight that will arrive in time, you may wish to arrive a day early so you're able to attend. We'll be happy to book additional accommodation for you (subject to availability). If you're going to be late, please inform the hotel reception. We'll be collecting your insurance details and next of kin information at this meeting, so please ensure you have all these details to provide to your leader.
Croatia has recently piqued the interest of curious travellers searching for sunshine, sand and scenery. The chic cities of the glittering Adriatic coast, charming cobblestone towns, UNESCO World Heritage sites and thriving food and wine scene ensure visitors' curiosity is amply rewarded. Like many others, fall in love with the treasures of this Balkan beauty.
The undisputed jewel of the Dalmatian Coast, Dubrovnik is a beautiful white stone town surrounded entirely by city walls. Although it experienced devastation during the war in the early 1990s, the old town - with its tiled roofs and stone buildings - remains as charming as ever. Extensive restoration has taken place to return it to its original splendour, and even today repairs are still being undertaken. With the sparkling water of the Adriatic in the background, Dubrovnik is picturesque, full of character and can easily be covered on foot.
If you arrive early, why not head out to one of the Elafiti Islands? There's Lopud, a quiet island with lovely hikes, clean beaches and a ruined castle. Kolocep is a sleepy enclave that boasts walks for every fitness level and Sipan, which is the most populated of the isles and reputedly has the most hospitable inhabitants. Alternatively, you might choose to simply laze about on one of Dubrovnik's beaches and people-watch for hours.
There are many monuments to explore in the city including the 15th century Rector's Palace, monasteries with cloistered gardens, and fine baroque churches with copper domes. The main pedestrian promenade, once a shallow sea channel, is now paved with glistening white limestone, in stark contrast to the warm red terracotta roofs. It is hard to imagine a more beautiful city.
Included Activities
- City walls walk
Optional Activities
- Dubrovnik Diving - HRK550
- City sights entrance - HRK10
- Fish picnic cruise - HRK200
- Franciscan Monastery - HRK20
- Lokrum Island boat trip - HRK40

- War Photography Museum - HRK30
Hotel (1 nt)
Day 2 Kotor
Transfer to Kotor on the Montenegro coast.
A walk around the city walls (approx 2 km) is a highlight not to be missed. The walk takes around an hour and provides panoramic views over the city's rooftops and out across the Adriatic Sea. The walls are on average 24 metres high and 3 metres thick on the seaward side. The walls were also put to modern use during the eight-month siege of the city in the early 1990s. Thankfully most of the damage done has now been repaired.
Set on a secluded bay, Kotor is listed as a World Heritage site, and its crooked alleyways give lots of opportunities to get lost and mingle with the locals.
Take a cruise on the Kotor Fjord - the longest fjord south of Scandinavia - and visit grottos and an island with a church that is almost as big as the island itself!
Optional Activities
- Cruise on Kotor Fjord - EUR30
Hotel (1 nt)
Days 3-4 Tirana
If you think you know Albania, think again. This addictive country has a myriad faces. In the rugged north, the Alps are so fierce they're 'accursed', while the south enjoys one of Europe's least known and most beautiful coastlines. Tirana is filled with craziness, from its traffic to its nightlife, but on its doorstep are mosques, citadels, Ottoman architecture and a stunning dose of medieval Balkans. The real surprise of Albania is the people. Their warmth to strangers is infectious and you're bound to find yourself swapping stories over a glass of raki or three.
Tirana is the capital of Albania and its biggest city, though it's small and compact with architectural influences from Italy and Turkey. Recently many buildings have been painted to alleviate the Soviet block feeling that pervaded. Many upgrades have been made all over town such as new parks and wide pavements - a process that's still ongoing.
Take a scenic 4km ride on the Dajti Express cable car for great views of the mountain and the city. You'll drift up to 1230m above sea level in approximately 15 minutes.
Tirana is dotted by many museums. You can't miss the National History Museum if you look for the gargantuan mosaic on the facade which represents the development of Albania's history with everyone from the time of the Illyrians. Inside, each hall of this vast building covers one of the stages in the development of the Albanian nation.
The main sight in Tirana is the Et'hem Bey Mosque which is right on the city's main square. Construction of the Xhamia e Haxhi Et'hem Beut started in 1794 and was finished in 1821 by Et'hem Bey. Closed under communist rule, the mosque resumed as a place of worship in 1991. 10,000 people attended the reopening and the event was considered a milestone in the rebirth of religious freedom in Albania. Take a look at the frescoes outside and in the portico that depict trees, waterfalls and bridges - motifs rarely seen in Islamic art. Remember to take your shoes off before entering the inner room.
Included Activities
- Orientation Walk - Tirana
- Dajti Mountain Cable Car
Optional Activities
- Daytrip to Kruja - EUR10
- Et'hem Bey Mosque - Free
- Kruja Castle - ALL100
- Kruja Ethnographic Museum - ALL300

Travel by private bus to Ohrid in Macedonia.
Get your bearings on an orientation walk around Ohrid.
At 34km long, 14km wide and over 300 meters deep, vast Lake Ohrid is one of Europe's oldest lakes and there's plenty of it to explore. Cruise the turquoise waters on a boat tour. Take in views of the town from the water and soak up the scenery whilst afloat.
Included Activities
- Orientation Walk - Ohrid
- Boat ride on Lake Ohrid
Hotel (2 nts)
Days 7-8 Skopje
In Macedonia's political and cultural centre, walk through Macedonia Square and sample gomleze and tasty baklava. Take a step back to Ottoman time with a visit to the Daut Pasha Hamam or journey through the humbling Holocaust Museum to learn how Macedonia suffered during this tragic chapter of history.
Skopje's stone bridge over the river Vardar is an iconic sight and acts as a handy connection between Macedonia Square and the Old Bazaar.
Perhaps visit the Museum of the City of Skopje, housed in the old Railway Station which is a unique piece of history itself. It's unusual, part-ruined exterior is a result of the 1963 earthquake. The large clock on the outside of the building is frozen at 5:17, the moment the earthquake shook the city.
Travel out of the city to visit Matka Canyon, home to several medieval monasteries and caves.
Included Activities
- Orientation Walk - Skopje
- Iconic Stone Bridge Visit
Hotel (2 nts)
Day 9 Pelister National Park
Pelister National Park, located in Baba Mountain massif, perfect location for a walk. Beautiful landscape with views that go on for miles. Enjoy a great wine tasting experience at our homestay.

Days 10-11 Ioannina

This gem of the Aegean will satisfy your thirst for knowledge, lust for adventure, desire for partying and craving for cuisine. Opa!

Hotel (2 nts)
Days 12-13 Levkas
Take a private bus over a causeway to the island of Levkas on the Ionian sea.
In the birthplace of Greek goddess Aphrodite, there is nothing more to do than rest and relax on blue waters and white-sand beaches. Choose to follow the crowds to Porto Katsiki beach or try your hand at a challenging hike or mountain bike ride around the surrounding mountains.
Included Activities
- Orientation Walk - Levkas
Hotel (2 nts)
Days 14-15 Athens
There's much to be seen in the ancient capital of Greece, vibrant and refreshed following the 2004 Olympics, yet still retaining so much visible history.
Named after the goddess of wisdom, Athens has a weighty history that spills out over the modern city, represented most dramatically by the ancient Acropolis.
The birthplace of Western civilisation, Athens has an amazing array of historic sites to explore, including the National Gardens, the Temple of Olympian Zeus and the original Olympic Stadium.
Make sure you take the chance to dine on delicious Greek cuisine and try an ouzo or two.
As this is a combination trip, your group leader and the composition of your group may change at this location. There will be a group meeting to discuss the next stage of your itinerary and you're welcome to attend, as this is a great chance to meet your new fellow travellers.

Take a walk in the hills behind the island's main town, Ermoupolis, and wander the narrow alleyways of Ano Syros, keeping an ear open for the traditional Rembetiko music of the lively tavernas.
During our stay in Syros we will try some local specialities as part of an included restaurant dinner.

Hotel (2 nts)
Days 18-19 Mykonos
Travel by ferry to Mykonos (approx 2 hrs).
Mykonos is legendary both in ancient and modern times. Known in ancient Greek mythology as the battlefield where almighty Zeus fought against the Gigantes, today the island is best known for its decadence. Mykonos town is a typical whitewashed Greek island town. But its point of difference lies in the many bars and clubs which stay open all night, making this one big island party after dark.
You can take short bus and boat rides to some of the nicest beaches in Europe or enjoy cocktails at the infamous Paradise and Super Paradise beach bars. If this isn't your style, choose an altogether quieter spot to chill out and enjoy the natural beauty of the coastline.

Itinerary disclaimer
We've allowed plenty of room for freedom and flexibility in our trips. In fact, flexibility is one of the ingredients that makes each of our trips so exciting. This style of travel offers us some unexpected circumstances at times, for example, bad weather and road conditions, technical defects of transportation, inconveniences caused by local operators and authorities, and other circumstances beyond our control. Changes in the program may be required to make the best of the unique situations that we encounter.Overnight stops and driving distances each day may vary to best suit the needs of the group. Our described itineraries are to be used as a general guide only.
Culture shock rating
At times local life here will be familiar to that of back home, and at times very different. Services are available most of the time, English may not be the native language, and there may be some cultural differences.
Europe is a region which may be very different to anything you have experienced before. Expense, crowds, differing cultures can result in initial culture shock but should be seen as an exciting new challenge. During our time here we have come to love this region but we know that we should always expect to encounter some difficulties along the way. In some parts of Europe there are very different attitudes to time keeping and service. Buses and trains will sometimes be late, plumbing can sometimes be temperamental and waiters may not seem as keen to serve you as you may be used to. If you are able to travel with a lot of patience and a sense of humour, then we know that you - like all of us - will be captivated by every part of Europe.
Physical rating
Some easy physical activities included in your trip. No physical preparation is required to make the most of the journey.
Included activities
Included activities are listed in the day-to-day itinerary, all other activities are optional and at your own expense. If you choose not to participate in the included activities on this itinerary, the cost will not be refunded.
Optional activities
A selection of optional activities are listed in the day-to-day itinerary. This isn't an exhaustive list and should be used as a guide only. Prices are approximate and are for entrance only and don't include transport to and from the sites or local guides unless indicated. All activities are subject to availability and it may not be possible to do all the activities listed in the time available at each destination. Where activities are considered medium or high risk, we work with operators whose safety and credentials we have sighted and assessed. This means that it is possible that you may find the same activity cheaper with another operator on the ground, however we cannot vouch for the safety or quality of that operator. Activities not listed above have not been assessed by us and as such our staff and leaders are unable to assist you with booking these activities. The decision to partake in any activity not listed is at your own discretion and risk.
Money Exchange
The most convenient and cheapest way to acquire money is via an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) or Bancomat as they are often referred to. Check with your bank in advance concerning the suitability of your account / card overseas and any international fees that will be applied. You can obtain local currencies easily at airports and major train stations, but be sure to bring some extra emergency cash in a major currency that can be exchanged if the ATMs are not functioning. When leaving home don't forget your PIN and make sure you know the telephone number for cancelling your card if it is stolen. Keep this in a safe place. Credit cards are not always accepted in stores and restaurants. While travelling we recommend you carry some cash to pay for restaurant bills and other services. Change can be difficult to obtain so throughout the day, try to gain as many small denominations as you can. You might be advised to take some of your money as travellers' cheques from a major financial institute. Travellers' cheques have security advantages, however please be aware that the exchange rates may not be favourable and that it is difficult to change Travellers' cheques in most countries. Be particularly aware that after hours money exchanges and hotel receptions carry high commissions- sometimes up to 20%. For money safety we recommend that you carry your cash and credit cards in a secure money belt or pouch concealed under your clothes.
Spending money
Every traveller is different and therefore spending money requirements will vary. Some travellers may drink more than others while other travellers like to purchase more souvenirs than most. Please consider your own spending habits when it comes to allowing for drinks, shopping, participating in optional activities, and tipping. Please also remember the following specific recommendations when planning your trip.
If you're happy with the services provided a tip - though not compulsory - is appropriate. While it may not be customary to you, it's of great significance to the people who will take care of you during your travels, inspires excellent service, and is an entrenched feature of the tourism industry across many Intrepid destinations. The following amounts are per person suggestions based on local considerations and feedback from our past travellers:
Restaurants: Local markets and basic restaurants - round your bill up to the nearest €1. More up-market restaurants we suggest 10% to 15% of your bill.
Local guides: Throughout your trip you may at times have a local guide in addition to your tour leader. We suggest €2-€3 per day for local guides.
Drivers: You may have a range of drivers on your trip. Some may be with you for a short journey while others may be with you for several days. We would suggest a higher tip for those more involved with the group, however we suggest €1-€2 per day for drivers.
Your Tour Leader: You may also consider tipping your tour leader for outstanding service throughout your trip. The amount is entirely a personal preference, however as a guideline €2-€4 per person, per day can be used. Of course you are free to tip more or less as you see fit, depending on your perception of service quality and the length of your trip. Remember, a tip is not compulsory and should only be given when you receive excellent service.
In total, we recommend you budget approx €5-€10 per day of your trip to cover tipping.Over the years we have found that many of our travellers find the need for tipping to be both tiresome and embarrassing, especially if they don't have the correct small change. To overcome this, we have established a tipping kitty system. At your group meeting, your tour leader may discuss the idea of running a group tipping kitty, whereby everybody contributes an equal amount and then your tour leader pays the tips while keeping a running record of all monies spent (except restaurant tips). The record can be checked at any time and any money remaining at the end of the tour returned to group members.

Group size
Maximum of 12 travellers per group.
Your fellow travellers
As you travel on a group trip you will be exposed to all the pleasures and maybe some of the frustrations of travelling in a group. Your fellow travellers will probably come from all corners of the world and likely a range of age groups too. We ask you to be understanding of the various needs and preferences of your group - patience with your fellow travellers is sometimes required for the benefit of everyone's travel experience. Remember too that you have responsibilities to the group. If you are requested to be at a place at a certain time, ensure that you don't keep the rest of the group waiting. We have found time and time again that the very best trips we operate are those where the dynamics within the group work well - this takes just a little effort on your part.Due to privacy reasons we are unable to provide you with contact details and any personal information about your fellow travellers booked on your trip prior to departure. However you can download Intrepid's FREE Meet Up app to chat with your fellow travellers before your trip. Meet up, discuss your upcoming trip and share the excitement of planning for your adventure. For more information visit: www.intrepidtravel.com/meetup
Single travellers
Our group trips are designed for shared accommodation and don't involve a compulsory single supplement. Single travellers share with people of the same gender in accommodation ranging from twin to multishare. Some of our itineraries have accommodation booked on a mixed gender share basis and where applicable this will be specified in our Trip Notes. On a selection of our trips, you have the option to pay a single supplement to ensure that you have your own accommodation (where available). Please note that this only applies to accommodation during the tour - pre-trip and post-trip accommodation will be booked on a single room basis.
A single supplement is available on this trip, please ask your booking agent for more information.
The price of the Single Supplement includes all night of this tour.

Meals introduction
While travelling with us you'll experience the vast array of wonderful food available in the world. Your group leader will be able to suggest restaurants to try during your trip. To give you the maximum flexibility in deciding where, what and with whom to eat, generally not all meals are included in the trip price. This also gives you more budgeting flexibility. As a rule our groups tend to eat together to enable you to taste a larger variety of dishes and enjoy each other's company. There's no obligation to do this though.
8 Breakfasts, 1 Dinner
Budget for meals not included:
There are some basic breakfasts included on this trip which may simply include bread/toast or pastries, butter, jam, coffee/tea/juice (or similar.)
Private vehicle, Metro, Ferry, Bus, Public bus
Ferry strikes, bad weather and the general unpredictable nature of Greek public transport means you need to be prepared for possible delays and itinerary changes.

Group leader
All Intrepid group trips are accompanied by one of our group leaders. The aim of the group leader is to take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible. Intrepid endeavours to provide the services of an experienced leader however, due to the seasonality of travel, rare situations may arise where your leader is new to a particular region or training other group leaders.Your leader will provide information on the places you are travelling through, offer suggestions for things to do and see, recommend great local eating venues and introduce you to our local friends. While not being guides in the traditional sense you can expect them to have a broad general knowledge of the places visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious and social aspects. At Intrepid we aim to support local guides who have specialised knowledge of the regions we visit. If you were interested in delving deeper into the local culture at a specific site or location then your leader can recommend a local guide service in most of the main destinations of your trip.

Issues on your trip
While we always endeavour to provide the best possible holiday experience, due to the nature of travel and the areas we visit sometimes things can and do go wrong. Should any issue occur while you are on your trip, it is imperative that you discuss this with your group leader or our local representative straight away so that they can do their best to rectify the problem and save any potential negative impact on the rest of your trip.We recognise that there may be times when your group leader/local partner may not be able to resolve a situation to your satisfaction - if this is the case, please ask the leader to speak to their direct manager.You may also choose to provide details in your online feedback, which we ask you to complete within 30 days of the end of your trip. But we do ask you to be aware that it is very difficult for us to provide any practical help after the trip is complete.
What to take
What you need to bring will vary according to the trip style you have chosen, the countries you are visiting and when you are travelling. Generally speaking you should pack as lightly as possible. On the vast majority of our trips you are expected to carry your own luggage and although you won't be required to walk long distances with your luggage (max 30 minutes).Most travellers carry their luggage in a backpack, although an overnight bag with a shoulder strap would suffice if you travel lightly. Smaller bags or backpacks with wheels are convenient although we recommend your bag has carry straps. You'll also need a day pack/bag to carry water and a camera etc for day trips.You can find Intrepid's Ultimate Packing List on our website. It should be used as a guide only and isn't intended to be a complete packing list.
All Intrepid travellers need to be in good physical health in order to participate fully on this trip. When selecting your trip please make sure you have read through the itinerary carefully and assess your ability to cope with our style of travel. Please note that if, in the opinion of our group leader or local guide, any traveller is unable to complete the itinerary without undue risk to themselves and/or the rest of the group, Intrepid reserves the right to exclude them from all or part of a trip without refund.You should consult your doctor for up-to-date medical travel information or for any necessary vaccinations and anti-malarial requirements before departure. We recommend that you carry a first aid kit as well as any personal medical requirements (including a spare pair of glasses) as they may not easily be obtained at the locations on this trip. For legal reasons our leaders and guides are prohibited from administering any type of drugs including headache tablets and antibiotics. Please ensure that you are adequately prepared.
Travel insurance
Travel insurance is compulsory for all our trips. We require that, at a minimum, you are covered for medical expenses including emergency repatriation. We strongly recommend that the policy also covers personal liability, cancellation, curtailment and loss of luggage and personal effects.When travelling on a group trip, you won't be permitted to join the group until evidence of travel insurance and the insurance company's 24 hour emergency contact number has been seen by your leader.If you have credit card insurance your group leader will require details of the participating insurer/underwriter, the level of coverage, policy number and emergency contact number rather than the bank's name and credit card details. Please contact your bank for these details prior to arriving in-country.Please go to our website for links to various travel insurance providers:
Responsible Travel
In general, there are few dress restrictions in Europe. Note when visiting churches that modest dress is required - shorts or skimpy tops may not be permitted.
We believe strongly in low impact or rather positive impact tourism. Broadly speaking this means that we try to minimise the negative aspects of tourism on the local cultures and environments that we visit and highlight the positive aspects. Please visit our website for further details and suggestions on how you can be a responsible traveller:
A couple of rules
Illegal drugs will not be tolerated on our trips. Possessing or using drugs not only contravenes the laws of the land, but also puts the rest of the group at risk. Smoking marijuana and opium is a part of local culture in some parts of the world but is not acceptable for Intrepid travellers. Intrepid's philosophy of travel is one of respect towards everyone we encounter and in particular, the local people who make our destinations such special places. The exploitation of prostitutes is completely contrary to this philosophy. Our local representative has the right to expel any member of the group if drugs are found in their possession or if they use prostitutes.
The Intrepid Foundation
Since Intrepid Travel commenced operating in 1989 we've been committed to giving something back to the communities we visit. One way has been through our support for local humanitarian, development and conservation projects. Many of our travellers want to contribute something too. Whilst it is often tempting to give hand-outs to those less fortunate, this has the potential to promote a culture of begging and dependency. Handouts are not a sustainable way for individuals or communities to live. That's why we established The Intrepid Foundation – to make it easier for travellers wishing to give back to communities in an effective and meaningful way. The Intrepid Foundation is a not-for-profit fund offering a selection of excellent grassroots organisations which you can contribute to. All donations to The Intrepid Foundation will be matched by Intrepid Travel dollar for dollar (up to AU$5,000 per donor and a total of AU$400,000 for all donors in each financial year). And every cent gets there as Intrepid Travel pays for all the administration costs. Donating is simple and secure. Please ask your group leader for information on the projects we support through The Intrepid Foundation or go to our website:
Carbon offset
Carbon Offset C02-e 270.00 kgs per pax.
After your travels, we want to hear from you! We rely on your feedback. We read it carefully. Feedback helps us understand what we are doing well and what we could be doing better. It allows us to make improvements for future travellers. Remember that once you've left your feedback you'll automatically be entered into our monthly draw for a US$500 (or equivalent in your local currency) travel voucher.

This week on the charts!
by Chris K
posted Aug 5 2010 10:54PM
Katy Perry's "California Gurls" just won't give up its spot as the most played song in the country, as it stays at #1 for the 6th consecutive week. Â Katy also has the week's highest debut in the top 40, at #25 with her new track, "Teenage Dream." Â Katy's long run at #1 has prevented B.o.B from having back-to-back #1's to begin his career, as "Airplanes" begins to fall this week after spending 5 frustrating weeks at #2. Enrique Iglesias this week scores his first top 10 hit in 8 years (since 2002's "Escape" hit #7), as "I Like It" jumps up to #9. Â The other new song in the top 10 is "Find Your Love" by Drake, the second time the formerÂ
star accomplishes this feat (after last summer's "Best I Ever Had" hit #10). Besides "Teenage Dream," two other songs debut in the top 40 this week.  "Animal," the first ever hit by alternative band Neon Trees, and Train's "If It's Love," their 5th top 40 hit, and the follow-up to the biggest hit of their career "Hey, Soul Sister." This week's biggest jumper belongs to Ke$ha, who climbs from #33 to #27 with her 4th hit off of
, "Take It Off." Eminem and Rihanna's "Love The Way You Lie" will most likely be the next #1 song on the airplay charts, as they climb to #2 this week. Â They have already reached #1 on the Hot 100 (which combines airplay and downloads), where they are now spending their 2nd week. Â If it does reach #1 on the airplay charts, it will be Eminem's first #1 since his
8 Mile
soundtrack hit, "Lose Yourself," in 2002.
Does the world need a Justin Bieber 3-D film??
by Chris K
posted Aug 3 2010 11:45PM
Teenage hearts everywhere are beating just a little bit faster today upon the announcement that Justin Bieber is making his debut on the big screen. That's right, Bieber, in the movies!  OMG!  Well, sort of.  He's starring in a movie about himself.  And he's playing himself, which shouldn't be too much of a stretch (Justin will be honing his budding acting skills on the small screen in next month's season premiere of NCIS).  Okay, so I guess it's more of a documentary then.  Potential moments to catch on film: What's it like backstage with Justin before one of his shows??  What does Justin eat for breakfast??  How does Justin escape the constant throngs of adoring fans which surround him seemingly wherever he goes??  It all sounds fascinating, doesn't it?  Oh yeah, and did I mention that it's in 3-D?  Double OMG!! Alright, I admit I'm being a little sarcastic about all of this.  I mean, c'mon, did NSYNC or the Backstreet Boys have a movie during their heyday?  What about the Jonas Brothers, who until only recently were on the receiving end of many of the same screams that the Bieber is currently getting.  Sure, Jonas had their campy Disney Channel movies, but that's not exactly big screen material.  Hilary Duff and Miley Cyrus both had their concert movies, but I'm thinking, based on what I've heard about Justin's movie so far, that this is going to be oh so much more.  Here's the facts: the Bieber is teaming up with Paramount Pictures, MTV Films and his record label, the Island Def Jam Music Group, to release a 3-D film currently scheduled to hit theaters on Valentine's Day weekend 2011.  Oh yeah, and Justin is also starting his own production company to work on the film.  Sure he is.  Because... he's so good at movie production?  Please rise everyone, the Bieber would like to speak, "When the idea for a movie first came to us, we knew immediately this was our chance to give something very special back to the all fans who have been a huge source of inspiration and support throughout my entire career thus far (
editorial note: that's been about 10 months so far
). Â They simply make my dreams come true every day. Â I cannot wait to share all the great experiences I've had over the last few years with them." Â Me neither. Now I don't mean to demean the Bieber, after all, he was one of the big stars at our Jingle Ball last year, and he seemed like a nice kid. Â No doubt he is currently object of affection #1 for teenage girls around the globe. Â I guess I'm not sure why this all strikes me as odd. Â I mean, I suppose we should be used to this by now, right? Â People trying to cash in every possible dollar while the Bieber is still hot. Â They've even got a "big name director" attached to the project, one Davis Guggenheim, who also produced and directed Al Gore's propaganda, err, documentary,Â
An Inconvenient Truth
. Â I see that he also directed the pilot for the already canceled Melrose Place revival last year, which begs the question... Â which was the bigger pile of crap? So the countdown is on, just over 6 months until Justin is unleashed upon us in 3-D. Â Who knows, maybe this will be cinematic brilliance. Â But then again, it probably won't.

This is Amelia Rayno's third season on the Gophers men's basketball beat. She learned college basketball in North Carolina (Go Tar Heels!), where fanhood is not an option. In 2010, she joined the Star Tribune after graduating from Boston's Emerson College, which sadly had no exciting D-I college hoops to latch onto. Amelia has also worked on the sports desk at the Boston Globe and interned at the Detroit News.Follow Rayno on Twitter @AmeliaRayno
Read my full story on the Gophers' 81-73 win here.
Before Minnesota walked off the Williams Arena court for the last time in 2014, bound for the NIT semifinals in New York, before the Gophers even took the court, DeAndre Mathieu's mother called.
Remember that time in [current Southern Miss coach Donnie] Tyndall's office? she asked. The time when the former Morehead State coach didn't give her son a scholarship.
"Mom, it's not even about him anymore," he told her. "It's about winning this game and going to New York."
Tuesday, it wasn't about Mathieu. The 5-9 battled foul trouble in the first half and finished with just seven points and had five turnovers, while Austin Hollins (career-high 32 points), Joey King (15 points) and Mo Walker (12 points, nine rebounds, four assists, zero turnover, three blocks and three steals -- whoa) took over.
But no matter.
Going to Madison Square Garden was all Mathieu wanted.
Well, that and beating his former coach.
Tyndall was at Morehead State in 2012 when after his freshman season, Mathieu asked for a scholarship. Tyndall declined.
Since then, the pair hadn't spoken, despite that Tyndall said he's proud of his former player.
So when Mathieu heard who the Gophers' quarterfinal matchup would be, he was more than a little stoked.
"I was really excited," he said. "I'm even more excited now that we beat them. Because I would hate to hear what he had to say to the media after they beat us, like we didn't need DeAndre anyway. I'm just joking but yeah, man it feels good to just beat him. To know I played for him and he didn't give me a second chance, and to come out here and beat him, it feels really good."
Asked whether the night caused him to reflect on his long journey, Mathieu shook his head.
"It seems like forever ago," he said. "I don't even think about it anymore."
Back then, Mathieu said, even he didn't know if he would make it to this level, to be the starting point on a Big Ten team.
"The credit goes to DeAndre, the blame doesn't go to Tyndall," Pitino said. "He probably wasn't good enough to play at the time."
Now, Mathieu is just enjoying the fruits of his efforts.
"When I transferred it was just the best feeling," he said. "It just felt really good, and I'm just happy to be in the Big Ten and not still at Morehead, really."
