Spent the better part of the day detailing the exterior of the Tacoma and it looks great! I don't have a good enough camera to show the crap and stains all over the paint before. I had the rail dust spots all over the place and red blotches from leaves sitting on the paint. Here's the products I used in order of how I went through them:
Eagle One wash (I normally use Mother's but didn't want the wax from the wash before detailing)
Turtle Wax Bug and Tar Remover - Heavy Duty
Meguiar's Clay Bar Kit
Meguiar's Ultimate Compound
Meguiar's NXT Tech Wax 2.0
First, a simple hand wash:
Then moved on to the Turtle Wax Bug and Tar Remover to get the red blotchy sap crap off the truck. The Turtle Wax Bug and Tar Remover was recommended to me by the auto parts store and all I can say is it's a complete waste of money. It does not remove bugs, tar or tree sap, even with a LOT of elbow grease. If you're considering this product, don't waste your time or money.
After the Turtle Wax product didn't work, I moved on to Clay Bar. I'd never clay barred or polished a truck before but it's a relatively simple process. The clay bar was actually a disappointing step. It did take off some of the sap and a little of the rust stains from what I'm assuming is rail dust. It made the surface nice and smooth, like baby's ass smooth but it didn't take a lot of the stains off.
Next was the Ultimate Compound and that was the step that gave the most dramatic results. The Ultimate Compound took off all of the rail dust stains, sap and whatever else was on the paint that survived the wash and clay bar. Awesome product and left the truck looking like new!
Lastly, the wax. The wax gave it a nice shine and the truck looks better than the day it rolled off the showroom floor
Thanks to the guys who helped me choose the products in the "Ask a Detailer" thread and Meguiar's themselves. I e-mailed them and asked a bunch of questions and they helped me choose the correct products.

Beeville on the Poesta. Long before Mexico granted land (1834) on Poesta Creek to the first settlers, Anne Burke and James Heffernan, savage Indians roamed this valley at will. Their colony, although successful at first, soon met disaster. In 1836 James Heffernan, his brother John, and John Ryan, who had planned to join Texas patriots at Goliad, were planting a crop in a field at this site when they were massacred by Comanches. Also killed was James' family, in his picket house upcreek. Bee County was organized in 1858 and named for Col. Barnard E. Bee, a Republic of Texas statesman. Soon after, choice of a county seat came into hot dispute. A site seven miles east, on Medio Creek, was chosen for "Beeville". But ten months later, voters made the 150-acre donation of Anne Burke "O'Carroll permanent county seat, on the banks on the Poesta. The new town, first called "Maryville" for Mary Heffernan (relative of those killed in 1836) was soon renamed Beeville. In its first decade, it had two stores, one saloon, and a blacksmith shop. First courthouse was built for $750 on west side of present square, 1860. First railroad came through, 1866, and a larger courthouse was soon built. After it burned, the present one was erected in 1913. (1967) #354

Cadiz Baptist Church. This congregation, orginally known as Lapara Baptist Church, was organized on Aug. 12, 1877, by 32 charter members. Services were held under a brush arbor and in a schoolhouse before a sanctuary was erected on Lapara Creek. The building was moved here in 1920, and the church was renamed for the Cadiz settlement. The facility later was enlarged to accommodate the growing church. In 1960 the congregation won the Rural Church of the Year award. In recent years the church has aided disaster victims and supported ministerial students and Christian crusades. (1983) #619

Early Trails in Bee County. From pack trails and wagon roads that marked this area at least 300 years, have developed such modern roads as U.S. Highway 181. The old trails of Indians, wild cattle and mustang horses formed highways for 17th, 18th and 19th century expeditions coming from Mexico to claim sovereignty for Spain over land of Texas. When pioneers established land grants in this section, they also found Indian trails useful, placing towns along them. Beeville, the county seat, was situated at the natural intersection of San Patricio-Helena Road with Goliad-Laredo Road. About 20 miles south, the Matamoros-Goliad road ("Camino Real" to old-timbers) was probably the most historic road in this area. In the years 1861-1865 the "cotton road"--called "lifeline of the southern Confederacy"--crossed Bee County. A later route of great value was a cattle trail that channeled thousands of Longhorns from the Rio Grande to the Red River and up the Dodge City Trail or the Chisholm Trail to northern markets. In this area were also La Para (or Grapevine) Road; the Indianola-Papalote Road; and a road to now vanished St. Mary's, a port on Copano Bay, off the Gulf of Mexico. (1968) #1359

First Methodist Church of Beeville. In 1861, three years after Bee County was organized, the Rev. Berry Merchant of Corpus Christi assisted Beeville Methodists in establishing the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. Between 1862 and 1870, circuit-riding preachers ministered to the congregation, and worship services were often held in Bee County's original courthouse, a small wood-frame structure. The congregation erected its first sancturary, a wood-frame building, in the early 1870s at the corner of Bowie and Monroe streets. In 1904, the congregation relocated to this site and built a Gothic structure with stained glass windows. It was replaced with a newer and larger worship facility in 1955. The congregation was part of the Corpus Christi Methodist District almost continually until 1891, when Beeville itself became a district headquarters. A district parsonage was maintained until 1927, when the city again was absorbed into the Corpus Christi District. Denominational mergers caused the congregation to change its name to the First Methodist Church in 1939 and to the First United Methodist Church in 1968. It continues to play an active role in the religious life of this community. (1991) #1747

First National Bank of Beeville. Beeville, the county seat of the Bee County since 1860, did not have a secure bank until 1890, when the First National Bank of Beeville opened for business. Prior to that year, the town's only banking facility was A.C. Jones' general store, where some area residents stored money under a loose floorboard behind the counter. The increases in population and trade volume brought by the arrival of the San Antonio & Aransas Pass and the Gulf, Western Texas & Pacific Railways in the late 1880s made the establishment of a bank necessary. In December of 1889 thirty investors met and organized the First National Bank of Beeville and elected A.C. Jones, Louis B. Randall, B.W. Klipstein, J.H. O'Connor, Viggo Kohler, J.C. Wood and J.R. Hoxie to the first board of directors. The First National Bank of Beeville operated on the courthouse square until 1894, when it relocated to the vicinty of the railroad depot. Functioning at that site for 66 years, the bank moved in 1960 and again in 1984 to be near major auto routes. It is one of the few banks in South Texas to have been independent and locally owned and operated for one hundred years. (1992) #1790

Medio Creek. Named by the Spaniards about 1800 because of its midway position between the San Antonio and Nueces Rivers. Rises in Karnes County; empties into Mission River. Crossed by explorers, padres, soldiers, settlers who traveled on three early ox-cart roads that led from Mexico to Mission La Bahia at Goliad. The Cart War of 1857, between Texas and Mexican teamsters on the freight route between San Antonio and Gulf ports, originated along San Patricio Road, southernmost of the three roads. The Mexican cart drivers used mesquite beans as feed for their teams, starting the mesquite brush which thrives along creek. Settlers were attracted here by the tall grass, and many veterans of the Texas Revolution were given bounty lands in the area. First post office in Bee County was established in 1857 at Medio Hill pioneer community, once a down-creek settlement. In 1909, the town of Candlish was founded within 50 feet of here, with a hotel, general store, school. The store closed; Candlish became a ghost town. In 1938-39 on Medio and Blanco creeks, fossil beds yielded 1,000,000-year-old fossils of a new mastodon species (named Buckner's Mastodon), rhinoceros, elephants, alligators, camels and three-toed horses.

Papalote Creek. A few yards south passes Papalote Creek, crossed by the fierce Karankawa Indians who found kite-shaped pebbles and named it Papalote, which means "kite-shaped" or "wing-shaped". Along its banks came the leaders of the Power and Hewetson colonists, holding Mexican land grants in the 1830's. On its Rata tributary there is evidence the Mexican Army camped on its way to suppress the Texas Revolution. By 1857 the town of Papalote had emerged. It was the center of entertainment for the county, boasting of a circular dance hall built by cowboys trading steer yearlings at $3 a head for lumber. There were rooster fights, ring tournaments and horse races. In 1886, when the railroad came, the town was booming. After the turn of the century, however, Papalote began to die away. A land company sold lots to settlers from as far away as Hawaii. Expecting to grow citurs fruits, they were disillusioned when the first killing frost doomed the project. Threats of Pancho Villa's raids continued as late as 1916, when women and children hid in a brick schoolhouse. In 1948, Main Street was bypassed by U.S. Highway 181. Today there is no post office--only a rural route for the few remaining households. (1965) #3934

The Railroad in Bee County. On June 14, 1886, the first San Antonio and Aransas Pass (SA&AP) train arrived in Beeville to a cheering crowd. The arrival marked the combined efforts of SA&AP president Uriah Lott; Beeville merchant, banker and cattleman Captain A. C. Jones; and rancher Frank Skidmore to route the railroad through Bee County. When Lott's proposed line from San Antonio to the Gulf at Corpus Christi was opposed by the nearby town of Goliad, Jones granted land and substantial funds, while Skidmore donated land and the Skidmore townsite. Many others followed their example. Transformed from a village to a boom town, and surrounded by new farming towns, Beeville became a shipping point for cattle and cotton. In 1889, after the Southern Pacific completed a second line through here to Victoria and the port of Galveston, Bee County became a rail center with connections far and wide for passenger and freight service. Passenger service peaked in 1918, and by 1930 the Beeville-Skidmore line averaged 18 trains daily. During World War II passenger service increased, but improved highway travel led to its end in 1952. The Southern Pacific depot was razed in 1958, and the last train left Bee County in 1994, but the booster spirit of the railroad era lives on. (1997) #7128

Colony Cemetery. Several Norwegian farmers and their families immigrated to this area beginning in 1894. Their settlement became known as Norwegian Colony or, simply, the Colony. In April 1897, Colony residents met to establish a cemetery and a cemetery association. Because three earlier graves were on a corner of Hans Thompson's property, he offered to donate an acre for the burial ground. His offer was accepted, and O.R. Peterson created a plan for the site, dividing it into four blocks of equal size. The fourth block was established as an open area for single graves available to anyone. Lewis Travland, Hans Thompson and Barney Olson became the association's first officers. Although the association wanted the burial ground reserved for those of Scandinavian descent, many others were initially allowed in the fourth block. This practice was discontinued when it became clear there was limited space. The first three burials are those of Hans Thompson's son, Carl (d. January 1896), Barney Olson's son, Barney (d. August 1896), and Telda Travland (d. April 1897). The two earliest birth dates noted in the cemetery are those of Nels Thompson (b. 1810) and Gertrude Hanson (b. 1826). Veterans of the Civil War, Spanish-American War and both World Wars are also buried here. The names of settler families and their descendants can be found throughout the burial ground, including Thompson, Travland, Selgelid, Kingsted, Nelson, Olson, Beck, Berkeland, Mickelsen, Torgerson, Lovell and Sivley. Today, Colony Cemetery, designated a Historic Texas Cemetery in 2002, is a link to the original Scandinavian families and their contributions to the community's rich history. (2004) #12945

West Side School for Mexican Americans. In the years before Texas became an independent republic, Hispanic and Irish settlers established ranches and farms in this area. Their children received education at home or in community schools. Bee County organized in 1858 and in 1860 Maryville (Beeville) became the county seat. Beeville citizens incorporated in 1893 to form a school district, opening a new school the next year; St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church founded St. Mary's Academy in 1898. Outside the city, ranchers, who with their employees represented a majority of the area's Hispanic population, established schools on their property, and rural communities continued maintaining small schools. The Beeville school district built the A.C. Jones High School in 1911. At that same time, the district built the West Side School for the city's growing Mexican American population. The two-room frame building served students until 1932, when a brick schoolhouse was erected one block west at this site, facing Jackson Street. Mexican American students integrated into Jones High School in 1938, and lower grades integrated by the mid-1940s. During that era, two organizations, the American G.I. Forum and the League of United Latin American Citizens, began challenging inequality toward Mexican Americans. Their cases before Texas courts in the 1940s and 1950s barred segregation of Mexican American students. In 1954, Brown v. Board of Education did the same for African American students, who in Beeville attended the Lott-Canada School for many years. Since integration, the school district has continued to utilize the West Side, or Jackson, school building. The former school is remembered for its strong curriculum, educators and students, who succeeded despite segregated conditions. (2005) #13297

Jones Chapel United Methodist Church. This church, organized in 1888, was originally known as Jones Chapel Methodist Episcopal Church. At first, it was part of a circuit, and ministers often traveled by stagecoach or horseback as they rotated Sunday services among churches. Jones Chapel shared the Rev. J.T. Jacobs with Fannin Street Methodist Church in Goliad, and during its first year held services in a schoolhouse. In 1889, members built a sanctuary on land that Capt. A.C. Jones donated to three former slaves who served as trustees of the new church. Charter members included Classie Douglas, Ann Felix, Felix Garner, Lawson Green, Serena Hodge, Ellen Jones, Bell Lott, Leanna Lott, Mose Lott, J.J. McCloud, Carrie McCampbell, P.M. McCarty, Kimmie Nancy, Elvira Newton, Rebecca Simms, Wesley Simms, I.E. Starnes, George Steward, Katy Ware, Sam Ware, Harriet Williams and Mary Williams, and many of the church's early members were former slaves. Although members have remodeled and repaired the church several times over the years and have made additions, such as a bell tower in 1913, the church is still at its original location. The congregation remains active in Beeville's African American community. Members take part in Bee County's Juneteenth festivities and participate in a variety of programs, including outreach ministries to help youth and the economically disadvantaged. Members also aim to provide food and other necessities to shut-ins in the community. Even after more than 100 years, Jones Chapel fervently continues to serve the African American community in Beeville. (2006) #13517

Rialto Theater. This distinctive building served as the flagship of a chain of 22 theaters in south Texas. In March 1922, brothers Henry and Sydney Hall announced plans to build a $25,000 two-story brick motion picture theater in Beeville. They bought this site, and Homer Boots was foreman during the construction, which took five months. The theater design included a stage large enough to host vaudeville performances and other attractions. W.C. Stephenson, who also designed the 1912 Bee County Courthouse, was the architect. The Rialto Theater opened on Saturday, August 19, 1922. The first film shown was The Three Musketeers starring Douglas Fairbanks; admission was twenty-five cents for adults and ten cents for children. On opening night, the management hired an orchestra to accompany the silent movie, since the $10,000 pipe organ had not yet arrived. More than 1,300 tickets were sold the first night for two showings. Here in December 1924, the Halls also started and early area radio station, KFRB, with a transmitter on the roof. Air conditioning was also a noted attraction, and the theater installed a sound system for "talkies" in October 1929. In 1935, a fire that started in the basement gutted the building's interior. The Hall brothers hired atmospheric theater designer John Eberson to redesign the structure, and his exuberant Art Deco interior and Art Moderne exterior featured bold colors and geometric patterns in materials, finishes and fabrics. During World War II, movie stars came here to promote war bond drives. The theater survived flooding damage caused by Hurricane Beulah in 1967 but eventually closed in 1986. The Hall Rialto Preservation Association formed several years later to restore and reuse the historic theater. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 2007 #13965

St. Rose Cemetery. This historic African American burial ground is associated with two congregations organized in the 1880s. Many buried here were members of Bethlehem Missionary Baptist Church or Jones Chapel United Methodist Church. Some burials took place prior to the site's official dedication as a cemetery. The earliest known burial, of former slave Nancy Williams, dates from 1901. Land for a community cemetery for African Americans was officially deeded in 1921. Among the prominent individuals interred here are Mose Lott and Allen Canada, who built the first Beeville schoolhouse for African Americans. Several veterans of conflicts dating back to World War I are also buried here. The St. Rose Cemetery Association organized in 1970 to care for this sacred site. Historic Texas Cemetery - 2008 #14265

Lott Canada School. With few formal schools available, education for many African Americans in the 19th century came through church instruction. In 1876, the first African American school in Bee County began in Stephen Canada's store seven miles north of Beeville. The following year, Stephen Kennedy built a small frame schoolhouse. County commissioners granted Canada and Kennedy's petition to create "Colored Community School Twelve." Beeville provided separate schools for Caucasian, African American and Mexican American students. In 1908, Beeville school trustees bought land for a new African American school from R.H. and Clara Berry. In the frame schoolhouse completed on North Burke Street, prinicipal J.R. Lockett introduced courses in agriculture and science and matched the studies of other Beeville schools. A 1929 fire destroyed the building, and students were taught in temporary quarters near the Bethlehem Missionary Baptist Church. Construction on a new school began in 1931. Financial assistance from the Julius Rosenwald fund of Chicago helped complete a brick schoolhouse with four classrooms and an auditorium. The school was named to honor Mose Lott and Allen Canada, carpenters who built the previous school which burned. The school offered ten grades, with additional years added through the 1940s. Gradual integration of Beeville schools began in 1955, with Lott Canada students attending A.C. Jones High School and the elementary school. In 1964, the Lott Canada School closed, though the school district continued to use the campus for other functions. The Lott Canada Alumni Association organized to preserve the heritage of African American education in Beeville. (2008) #15488

MONT VENTOUX, France (AP) — British rider Chris Froome showed why he remains the overwhelming Tour de France favorite by winning Sunday's grueling 15th stage up to Mont Ventoux to extend his lead over main rival Alberto Contador.
Froome attacked about two-thirds of the way up the mammoth 13-mile Ventoux, and his acceleration was too much for two-time former champion Contador. The Spaniard dropped back to sixth and finished about 1 minute, 40 seconds behind as tens of thousands of people crammed the roadside on Bastille Day — France's National Day.
"This is massive. Everyone wanted to win this stage today, on Bastille Day, being on top of Mont Ventoux," Froome said. "It really was an epic stage today."
The win means Froome effectively made up the time he lost on Friday's sprint stage, when Contador caught him with a surprise attack. He leads Dutchman Bauke Mollema by 4 minutes, 14 seconds and Contador by 4:25.
"It wasn't really about sending (Contador) a message, but I'm obviously going to take as much time as I can," Froome said. "I'm really happy to have this advantage now."
Colombian Nairo Quintana was second, 29 seconds behind, and Mikel Nieve of Spain was third, 1:23 behind.
"My objective today was to take a bit of time in the general classification, but I didn't think I could win the stage," Froome said. "I thought Quintana would win it. But his legs started to go in the last two kilometers."
The longest stage of the race took riders over 151 miles from Givors in the winemaking Rhone Valley and ended in the Provence region.
Ventoux is one of the most famed climbs in the Tour's 110-year history. Britain's Tom Simpson collapsed and died on it during the 1967 Tour.
Froome raised his right arm in the air when he crossed the line for his second stage win of the race after winning a mountain stage in the Pyrenees on Stage 8 with a similarly decimating attack.
"It was incredible today, incredible. This is the biggest victory of my career," Froome said. "I didn't imagine this, this climb is so historical. It means so much to this race, especially being the 100th edition. I really can't believe this."
Froome said he needed "five or 10 minutes on the oxygen" mask after the stage.
A nine-man breakaway group, including sprint champion Peter Sagan and French veteran Sylvain Chavanel, led early in the race. Sagan picked up more valuable points in his quest to win the green jersey for the second straight year, extending his already massive lead over Brit Mark Cavendish, the 2011 Tour sprint champion.
Reputed to be one of cycling's showmen, Sagan lifted his front wheel and did a wheelie, followed by a salute to the crowd in a rare moment of frivolity on an otherwise difficult day.
The small group of front-runners split open on Ventoux, leaving Chavanel alone in front, and with about 9 miles of climbing still to go. Froome, meanwhile, only had two Sky teammates — Australian Richie Porte and Britain's Peter Kennaugh — to help him.
Andy Schleck, the 2010 Tour champion, was dropped straight away while the 36-year-old Cadel Evans, who won the 2011 Tour, also faded, as did Chavenel.
"It was a terrible day for me," Evans said.
Quintana didn't have enough at the end of the race.
"I needed more strength, but I couldn't find it," Quintana said. "I'd already made an enormous effort."
With about 6 miles to go, Contador still had three teammates with him but Froome would lose them all.
Other countries were well represented. There were dozens of Union Jacks and Norwegians and Danes wearing Viking costumes. Pockets of Belgians and Dutch swigged beers, others dressed up as animals or ran alongside the riders in inflatable body suits.
The chaotic, raucous, deafeningly loud scene included motorbikes and spectators perilously close to the riders. Toward the top it was windy, overcast and cool, a welcome respite from the stifling heat below, with temperatures again well into the 90s.
Following a rest day Monday, there is a medium mountain stage on Tuesday — 104 miles from the medieval cliff-top town of Vaison-la-Romaine in Provence to Gap in the Alps.
Then come the final few days of agony in the mountains.
There are three straight days of tortuous climbing — including two ascents up the famed l'Alpe d'Huez pass in one day on Stage 18. The next two days both feature two Hors Categorie climbs each — so tough they are considered beyond classification.
The race ends the following day with a nighttime finish on the Champs-Elysees.

I see that Trafficmaster is selling the Allure as a click together floor now. Has anyone had any experience using this product?
I would think that this would eliminate the problem of edges not adhering together well. Thanks for any input. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I didn't know Trafficmaster Allure even came in anything other than what I got where there is an adhesive edge that sticks one piece to the next. By the way, I hate it and after just one year, I am ripping it out and replacing it with an engineered wood floor. |
Twinnera thanks for the response. What is prompting you to tear it out? I am trying to find flooring for my basement and it is making me crazy because I don't want to use tile and carpetting gets so dirty. |
- Posted by Lauren Reynolds(firstname.lastname@example.com) onTue, Jan 18, 11 at 12:18
Wow I just purchased this product in the cherry color for my deck that is enclosed. I hope that i will be happy with the final outcome. I intend to start laying it later today after buying it from HD yesterday spending 500.00. Twinnera what was the main reason you do not like it now? |
Lauren I hope you like it. I am waiting for a couple color samples but this is my top choice still. I was wondering if you are not supposed to let it acclimatize in your home before install? Please let us know how you like it (complete with pictures of course :) ). |
I just finished installing this flooring in my kitchen so far it looks great. It butts up to a just refinished oak floor. I have to admit the Allure Ultra looks good. |
- Posted by barbcollins (My Page) on Mon, May 9, 11 at 19:20
tom421 - How did the installation go? Any problems? Any tricks? I have used the old style with the adhesive tabs several times and had no problems. I currently have it in my bathroom, and still love it. Working on a kitchen remodel now, and trying to decide whether to use the old style or the new Allure Ultra. I am disappointed that the Allure Ultra does not come in tile patterns (yet). |

Bruce Coville
"I grew up around the corner from my grandparents' dairy farm, which was three miles outside of a small town called Phoenix. As a child I loved Mary Poppins and Dr. Dolittle, and I can remember getting up ahead of everyone else in the family so that I could huddle in a chair and read The Voyages of Dr. Doolittle. I also read lots of things that people consider junk (Nancy Drew, the Hardy Boys, Tom Swift, and zillions of comic books). My only real regret is the time I spent watching television, when I could have been reading instead. (After all, mind is a terrible thing to waste!)
"The first time I can remember thinking that I would like to be a writer came in sixth grade, when our teacher, Mrs. Crandall, gave us an extended period of time to write a long story. I loved doing it. I started working seriously at becoming a writer when I was seventeen.
"Like most people, I was not able to start selling my stories right away. So I had many other jobs along the way to becoming a writer, including toymaker, gravedigger, cookware salesman, and assembly line worker. Eventually I became an elementary teacher, and worked with second and fourth graders.
"When I was nineteen I married Katherine Dietz, who lived right around the corner from me. She was (and is) a wonderful artist, and we began trying to create books together. However it was not until 1977 that we finally sold our first book, which was called The Foolish Giant. We did two other books together-Sarah's Unicorn and The Monster's Ring.
"Kathy and I have three children: a son, Orion, born in 1970; a daughter, Cara, born in 1975; and another son, Adam, born in 1981. Though we lived apart for many years, Kathy and I are now sharing a house again. Sharing the house with us are our dog, Thor (a Norwegian Elk Hound) and four cats: Babette and Cleo (sisters), Princess Ozma Fuzzybutt, and Dickens, a jet propelled kitten.
"Kathy and I have done many more books together, including Goblins in the Castle, Aliens Ate My Homework, and The World's Worst Fairy Godmother.
"I feel like a very lucky person. From the time I was young, I had a dream of becoming a writer. Now that dream has come true, and I am able to make my living doing something that I really love."
Bruce Coville is an award-winning author whose many books include prose adaptations of Shakespeare's The Tempest and A Midsummer Night's Dream and, cowritten with Elizabeth Levy, three books in Paula Danziger's Amber Brown series. He lives in Syracuse, New York.

Running club helps homeless get back on their feet
"It's 5:40 a.m., and under a street lamp on the corner of E and Second streets, a small group begins to form as they do every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The streets are nearly empty, save a few aimless individuals resting outside the Federal City Shelter.
A couple of men ramble out of the Clean and Sober Streets section of the shelter five minutes later, clad in sweats and tennis shoes, and join the small band. They greet with hugs – everyone gets a hug, they say – and form a tight huddle in the darkness. They start off the morning with the serenity prayer, reciting in unison the lines about strength and wisdom somewhat instinctively before breaking into warm-up stretches. Soon they begin to jog. Friday's route goes down E Street to the White House, about three miles in all. It is a break, they say, after a successful five-mile run Wednesday."

About Hand-Tufted Wool Rugs Hand-tufted wool rugs require a high level of craftsmanship to accurately portray intricate designs. These rugs are created by pushing wool yarn through a backing, creating a looped 'tuft'. The tops of the looped tufts are sheared off to create the pile, or plush surface texture, of the rug. Although handmade, the tufting method creates a beautiful rug with an accurate design that is durable enough to use and enjoy daily.
About Aubusson-Style Rugs Aubusson rugs take their name from the small, picturesque French town by the same name. Although rugs have not been produced here for over 100 years, the town was at one time the epicenter of Europe's rug manufacturing industry. Original Aubusson designs were influenced by Turkish motifs. However, in the mid-17th century, Aubusson designs changed to reflect another popular style of French carpet, Savonnerie.
The Savonnerie style embodied purely French designs, pictorial or armorial framed medallions, and densely-massed flowers in bouquets or leafy rinceaux set against deep blue, brown or black grounds, within multiple borders. The designs were available only to the King and remained the exclusive property of the Crown. Savonnerie carpets were considered to be among the grandest of French diplomatic gifts, and the manufactory provided both Cardinal Mazarin and Anne of Austria with carpets and pile hangings. For well over two hundred years, these designs could be found in the best homes all across Europe.
Although the traditional Aubusson and Savonnerie designs are still popular, there are also many variations on the original motifs. These modern versions are infused with updated colors and other design elements such as Art Deco or Persian. Owning an Aubusson-style rug or carpet still remains a symbol of prestige and sophistication.
Recommended Care: Vacuum regularly. Use of a gentle carpet cleaner is recommended. The cleaning process should involve applying the cleaner with a soft-bristle brush, rinsing with water and extracting the liquid with a vacuum or extractor. The rug should then be air-dried. If in doubt, call a reputable rug cleaner. These are recommendations only.

Each rug offers a timeless beauty that is meant to be shared for years to come. Margie is a second generation rug buyer and prides herself on bring you the most beautiful hand-tufted rugs in the world.

Please Note: Each rug is made by hand and is uniquely original. Minor variations in size and color may occur.
Rugs have become so much more than something on which to wipe your feet. They have truly become recognized as works of art and ways to express yourself in your home. A rug design can be as simple or complex as you want and can really tie a room together. Choose different types of rugs based on your style of room or home. If your style is eclectic, you may go with a fun design like zebra or leopard. If you are more of a traditionalist, you might prefer floral patterned rugs for country-inspired rooms. High-tech? A man-made shag rug would look ultra-cool in your modern space!
Whatever your style, there is no mistaking there are hundreds of different types of rugs from which to choose. It can be overwhelming, but try following these tips to ease the stress:
There are many elements that can cause damage to your rug. By protecting your rug from these elements, you can help keep it looking newer longer.
The first harmful element is the sun. Sun damage can appear in the form of fading or discoloration of your rug. To protect your rug against sun damage, you may place it in an area that doesn't get as much sunlight or use a window treatment to block some of the direct sun. Whatever method you choose, remember how important it is to turn your rug once a year. This will ensure equal amounts of sun exposure over the life of your rug.
The second factor you should keep in mind is protecting your rug from water damage. There is one simple thing you can do to protect from water damage: Do not place potted plants directly on your rug. If you do, water can leak out of the pot and onto the rug. Moisture could potentially build there for weeks and ultimately weaken the foundation of your rug.
Lastly, you will want to protect your rug from your lovable pets. That's right, cats and dogs can cause serious damage to rugs. Often times, dogs will use them as chew toys and cats will use them as claw-sharpening devices. Employ proper obedience methods in order to protect your rug from pet antics.
Process & Materials
The quality of a rug is often determined by two factors: process and materials. It can be said that handmade, natural material rugs may be more expensive than machine-made synthetic ones since hand weaving is such a time-intensive process. You should expect to pay more for a handmade rug from Iran than you would for a European machine-made rug.
You can also think of handmade rugs as unique investments for your home. They can serve as conversation pieces, while adding a unique flair and making your house a home.
While a hand-woven rug is considered quite luxurious, the machine-made rug process has been diligently perfected over the years. This is a good option to get the handmade look without the handmade price!
Materials used in rugs can also make a big impact on cost and quality. Wool is used in many countries, as it is a durable substance and seen as the most traditional material. Although this is the component of choice, less expensive synthetic materials are also common in the man-made marketplace today. The type of material used often varies by the country of origin. For example, Persian rugs usually incorporate soft wool, while silk is the material of choice for Chinese rugs.
Rug Producers
Asia is at the forefront of the rug industry. China, Turkey, India and Pakistan are all major exporters. It is difficult to say when rug-making began in these countries, but it can be traced back as far as the 13th Century. China produces rugs mainly for the purpose of exportation, which is why they are one of the largest handmade exporters in the industry. India and Pakistan began producing rugs in the 16th Century and still hold an important place in the market today. Iran, however, accounts for nearly 75% of all handmade rugs today. This country is known for producing very diverse pieces and Iranians are themselves passionate purchasers of the rugs made in their country.

Eastern apples are quick to credit processors for giving them a big cut of the foodservice business.
They predict things will just get better.
"They just continue to increase, especially with QSR (quick-service restaurants) continuing to increase apple slice purchases," said Jim Allen, president of the Fishers-based New York Apple Association.
McDonald's made headlines several years ago when it started to offer sliced apples as healthy alternatives with Happy Meals.
The volumes of apples headed to restaurants only grew from there, Allen said.
"We've got some great varieties in New York, and they're great slicing varieties," he said.
Retailers have followed suit, ordering sliced product for their own shelves, said Lee Peters, vice president of sales and marketing with Wolcott, N.Y.-based Fowler Bros Inc.
"Every store you go into has sliced apple and in different forms," he said.
Sliced apples comprise only one of two important foodservice categories for Eastern apples, said Mark Nicholson, executive vice president of Red Jacket Orchards. Geneva, N.Y.
"The other part of foodservice is the school pack, like a 125 No. 1 grade," Nicholson said.
There has been growing demand from local schools, in particular, Nicholson said.
"There's been preference for school lunch-type programs, where they are more aware of the origin and source and want to source more local product," he said.
Developing a school market has had challenges, but it is paying off, Nicholson said.
"It took a little longer, probably because of the logistics behind it, but you're seeing it more and more," he said.
School sales also have led the way in institutional foodservice sales, said Tim Mansfield, sales and marketing director with Burt, N.Y.-based Sun Orchard Fruit Co.
"The sliced apple category drives foodservice and continues to be real strong, but beyond that, you have your traditional school apples and small apples for the restaurant business," he said.
Prisons are purchasing more apples, too, said Jack Bream, owner of Orrtana, Pa.-based Bream Orchards.
"The government has bought a lot," he said.
There's no reason to expect any different results this year, said Brenda Briggs, vice president of marketing at Gardners, Pa.-based Rice Fruit Co.
"The slicing market has in recent years become a very important part of sales of apples and is an expanding market," she said.
Bream said the slicing market is an ideal venue for apples whose aesthetics may be less than perfect.

Comics A.M. | 'Charlie Hebdo' massacre survivor recounts attack
Crime | Sigolène Vinson, a writer for Charlie Hebdo, gives her account of the Jan. 7 shootings that killed 12 at the French satire magazine's headquarters. Vinson was in the kitchen and heard brothers Chérif and Saïd Kouachi shoot her coworkers; she hid in a colleague's office but came face to face with Saïd Kouachi, who told her "Don't be afraid, calm down. I won't kill you. You're a woman, we don't kill women. But think about what you do, what you do is bad. I'm sparing you and because I've spared you, you will read the Qur'an." (However, Chérif killed writer Elsa Cayat, the only female victim of the attack.) [The Guardian]
Awards | This year's grand prix de la ville d'Angoulême, the lifetime achievement award given every year at the Angoulême International Comics Festival, won't be given to the staff of Charlie Hebdo, despite a petition started by jury president Gwen de Bonneval that garnered 1,200 signatures plus significant support on Twitter and Facebook. Two Charlie Hebdo cartoonists, Wolinski, who was killed in the Jan. 7 attack, and Willem, who wasn't in the office that day, have been awarded the grand prix in previous years. The festival has announced a special Charlie Hebdo award that will go to a cartoonist whose work embodies resistance to oppression and censorship, and organizers will also publish a special album of cartoons drawn in response to the attacks. [France Inter]
Comics A.M. | Books-A-Million sees growth in manga sales
Retailing | The Books-A-Million retail chain reported significant growth in the last quarter, due in part to strong sales of manga and strategy games. "Sales in the graphic novel category … grew nicely on the strength of a significant resurgence in the interest in several manga series, particularly Attack on Titan," CEO Terry Finley said in an earnings call. The chain's sales increased 1.2 percent, and same-store sales were up 1.8 percent last quarter compared to the same quarter last year; by contrast, fiscal year 2013 sales were down by 9.4 percent from the previous year. [ICv2]
Creators | Jeff Lemire talks about his new graphic novel Teen Titans: Earth One, which reflects his love of Marv Wolfman and George Pérez's The New Teen Titans: "I wanted a fresh and clean take on a teen super-team without having to rely on other heroes or continuity. So I gravitated to these unique teen characters Marv and George had created, and re-envisioned them through my own sensibilities along with artist Terry Dodson, who really helped them come to life." [The Kindle Post]
Comics A.M. | 'Attack on Titan' creator honored by hometown
Creators | Hajime Isayama's hometown of Hita City has named him "Tourism Friendship Ambassador to the 'Beautiful Riverside Location of Hita.'" Isayama, the creator of Attack on Titan (which describes a city under siege by man-eating giants and defended by teenagers), came to town over the weekend for a cultural event titled "Shingeki no Satogaeri" ("Attack on Returning Home"), and he mentioned in a speech that the area was his inspiration for the scenery in the manga. [Anime News Network]
Publishing | Dark Horse announced there are 500,000 copies of its Plants vs. Zombies: Lawnmageddon graphic novel in print; this presumably means that sales are in that range as well. The key here may may be that the book is available at Scholastic book fairs, where the numbers really add up. [Dark Horse]
Comics A.M. | Was Marie Duval the real creator of Ally Sloper?
Creators | A U.K. researcher argues that Marie Duval was the real creative force behind the wildly popular 19th-century British comic Ally Sloper, which is largely credited to her husband Charles Ross. Duval, the pen name of French cartoonist Emilie de Tessier, drew the character at the height of his popularity in the 1860s and '70s, but historian David Kunzle now questions what role Ross actually played in his creation. [The Guardian]
Commentary | Chase Magnett pushes back on Chris Suellentrop's statement, made in a column about GamerGate, that comics are "a medium that has never outgrown its reputation for power fantasies and is only very occasionally marked by transcendent work (Maus, or the books of Chris Ware) that demands that the rest of the culture pay attention to it." [Comicbook.com]
'MAD' issues warning about DC's 'Harley Quinn Annual' #1
It's pretty widely known by now that one of the smells in the special rub-and-sniff Harley Quinn Annual #1 is of a less-than-legal, but incredibly distinctive, drug. As a result — even at New York Comic Con 2014 — there have been many jokes about the results of rubbing and smelling the marijuana-scented section of the comic.
Hilariously, through its MAD Magazine website, DC Comics has released an "important message from the DC Comics department of ethical reading," which continues the running gag of the drug's distinctive smell — "something called Cannibisylocibe 7-A" — and the possible side effects.
'MAD' takes aim at police militarization with Rockwell homage
MAD may be well past its 1960s heyday, but every once in a while the magazine shows that it's still capable of surprising us with political satire and social commentary.
The most recent reminder is MAD's timely take of Norman Rockwell's famous 1958 painting "The Runaway," which memorably depicts a kindly state trooper talking to a little boy at a diner counter. In the magazine's update, influenced by events in Ferguson, Missouri, and the subsequent debate about the militarization of local police forces, the officer isn't the reassuring presence he might have once been.
Longtime 'MAD' editor Al Feldstein passes away
Al Feldstein, who as editor steered MAD Magazine to the height of its popularity and influence, passed away Tuesday at his home in Livingston, Montana, The Associated Press reports. He was 88.
Born in 1925 in Brooklyn, New York, Feldstein began his career as a teenager at Eisner & Iger Studio, doing menial tasks initially for $3 a week and then, after World War II, freelancing for publishers like Fox Comics. In 1948, he approached William Gaines, who had become publisher of EC Comics following the death of his father Max Gaines, and began a working relationship that would last for decades.
Although Feldstein started at EC as an artist, he soon wrote his own stories; within a couple of years, he was also editing most of the publisher's titles. He's credited with co-creating iconic anthologies like Tales From the Crypt, The Vault of Terror, Panic and Shock SuspenStories and helping to develop a stable of contributors — Otto Binder, Will Elder, Jack Davis, Wally Wood, Al Williamson and Bernard Krigstein, among them — whose influence is still felt in the industry.
Comics A.M. | 'There's a real feeding-frenzy for graphic novels'
Publishing | Variety speaks with Madrigall President Antoine Gallimard about how the French publishing giant and its holdings (Gallimard, Casterman, Flammarion and Futuropolis, among them) handle the film rights to their many graphic novels, and the popularity of comics as source material: "I think that the French publishing and film industries feed on, complement, and ultimately do help each other. The number of films adapted from books that are produced every year in France is eloquent testimony to this." Noting that, "In recent years, there's a real feeding-frenzy for graphic novels, comic books," Gaillimard says, "Comedy, in all its variants, is the most popular of adapted materials." [Variety]
Legal | An Algerian judge has made a preliminary recommendation of 18 months' imprisonment for cartoonist Djamel Ghanem for drawing a cartoon, which was never published, that government officials deemed offensive. In an odd twist, Ghanem was sued by his own newspaper, La Voix de l'Oranie, which tends to favor the current administration, and as a result, he has been blackballed by the Algerian media. The cartoon is critical of President Abdelaziz Bouteflika's bid for a fourth term but doesn't even depict the president — it shows two people in conversation, comparing the fourth term to baby diapers — Ghanem said the point was that Algerians were treated like children. Pressed by the district attorney to admit the cartoon was insulting to the Bouteflika, Ghanem insisted that wasn't his intention. [Global Voices Online]
Exclusive: Manti Te'o hoax makes 'MAD's' 'Dumbest' list
MAD joins in the end-of-the-year insanity next week as only the venerable humor magazine can, with its rundown of the "20 Dumbest People, Events and Things of 2013." It's a list that includes the best and brightest — or is that worst and dimmest? — from the worlds of politics, sports and entertainment, from President Obama and the U.S. Congress to Miley Cyrus and Paula Deen.
Coming in at No. 6, as MAD has reveals exclusively to ROBOT 6, is Manti Te'o's dead 'girlfriend." As you may recall, the former Notre Dame linebacker rose to prominence not because of his Heisman Trophy candidacy but for the revelation that his girlfriend, who had battled leukemia only to die after a car crash, never existed. It turns out she was the creation of one of Te'o's acquaintances, who admitted to orchestrating the hoax.
"It's unclear if Te'o was in on the scam," the magazine writes, "or just a gullible romantic who got got catfished — but either way, the whole thing is hard to swallow."
The full list can be found in MAD #525, which goes on sale Dec. 18.
Comics A.M. | Smart's 'Fish-Head Steve' shortlisted for Roald Dahl prize
Awards | Jamie Smart's Fish-Head Steve has been shortlisted for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize, the first comic to make the list in the six-year history of the award. The prize recognizes the funniest book for children in two age categories, and the final judges will be 200 children from schools around the United Kingdom. [Forbidden Planet]
Comics | Eric Margolis reports on the difficulties U.K. creator Darren Cullen had in getting his Kickstarter-funded comic (Don't) Join the Army printed. The format was unusual, so some shops simply couldn't do it, but printers also took exception to the comic itself, which was an "anti-recruitment leaflet" satirizing the British army. [Comic Book Legal Defense Fund]
Six things DC Comics is doing right
DC Comics hasn't had a particularly good run of things lately. To be frank, the publisher has done blown it a number of times over the past few years. But don't worry, DC fans — I'm sure it'll soon be Marvel's turn, as the two rivals seem to trade off every five years or so.
I've been calling out DC for the past couple of weeks, but that doesn't mean everything it does strikes me as wrong. It's important to declare shenanigans, but it's also important to recognize when a publisher does something that's good for comics.
So here are six things DC is doing right:
1. Digital comics: Legends of the Dark Knight and Adventures of Superman are digital-first anthology series that feature some excellent creators (from Jeff Parker and Chris Samnee to J.M. DeMatteis and Jeff Lemire) producing completely accessible and entertaining stories that stand on their own; no college course on the New 52 or Crisis on Infinite Earths required. Yes, these stories are out of continuity — so for a percentage of readers, they don't count. That's a mistake, because there's nothing wrong with a straight-up superhero tale that exists on its own terms. These two anthologies are the gems of DC's digital-first line-up, but Batman '66 and Batman: Li'l Gotham also offer fantastical takes on the iconic Caped Crusader that are bright and fun. For those exhausted by the angsty versions of serious stories, you owe it to yourself to check these out.
Al Jaffee donates archives to Columbia University
Acclaimed cartoonist Al Jaffee, whose work for MAD Magazine spans nearly six decades, has donated his archives to Columbia University's Rare Book and Manuscript Library.
According to the press release from Columbia University Libraries/Information Services, the archives will arrive in several stages, beginning with Jafee's artwork for Esquire and Playboy, notebooks of ideas for the Harvey Kurtzman-edited magazine Humbug and Timely Comics' Ziggy Pig and Silly Seal, press clippings, fan mail, photocopies of strips never submitted for publication, photographs, biographical material for Al Jaffee's Mad Life and more."I feel privileged and honored to have my work added to Columbia University's collections," Jaffee, widely known for the long-running MAD Fold-In feature, said in a statement. "Columbia is a jewel in the crown of New York City; keeping my work here is my way of giving something back to the city in appreciation for all that was given to me."
The 92-year-old Jaffee, who lives with his wife Joyce in Providence, Massachusetts, still contributes to MAD.
Established in 2005, Columbia University Libraries/Information Services began its push to acquire special collections of comics work following the donation in 2011 of Chris Claremont's archives.
Comics A.M. | 'MAD Magazine' artist Bob Clarke passes away
Passings | Bob Clarke, one of the original artists for MAD Magazine, passed away Sunday of complications from pneumonia. He was 87. Best known for his "Believe It or NUTS!" parodies, Clarke actually began his career at age 15 as an uncredited assistant on the Ripley's Believe It or Not comic strip before joining the Army, where he worked for Stars and Stripes. At MAD, he also drew "Spy vs. Spy" for many years, and illustrated the famed January 1961 back cover congratulating John F. Kennedy on his election (the front featured Richard Nixon; the editors were hedging their bets). [The News Journal]
Creators | Charles Soule talks about taking the reins of DC Comics' Swamp Thing: "Swamp Thing isn't just a horror book by any means — it's also a book about superhero action and philosophy and humor. This is a title that's open to just about anything." Soule's plans include new supporting characters and short story arcs that build up to a bigger structure. [USA Today]
Comics A.M. | This weekend, WonderCon returns to Anaheim
Conventions | The Orange County Register previews WonderCon, which returns this weekend to Anaheim, California, and selects some of the highlights from the programming schedule, including panels dedicated to "Batman: The Zero Year," The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, and Joss Whedon's Much Ado About Nothing. [Orange County Register]

This week it's a choice between navy beans and Nova
Welcome to Food or Comics?, where every week we talk about what comics we'd buy at our local comic shop based on certain spending limits — $15 and $30 — as well as what we'd get if we had extra money or a gift card to spend on a splurge item.
Check out Diamond's release list or ComicList, and tell us what you're getting in our comments field.
Chris Arrant
If I had $15, I'd buy the leading contender for best ongoing series this year, Saga #10 (Image, $2.99). I loved the last issue focusing on the Will, but I'm excited at the prospect this one teases of Izabel returning – although in a red-tinged, seemingly evil demeanor. After that I'd get another creator-owned gem with Francesco Francavilla's The Black Beetle #2 (Dark Horse, $3.99). I love the latitude Dark Horse is giving Francavilla in the design packaging here – that cover is something special — and luckily, the insides have the promise of being even better given what happened last issue. Third and last in my $15 haul this week would be Dark Horse Presents #21 (Dark Horse, $7.99). Criminally underrated and consciously mind-blowing, this issue promises three new serials debuting plus a collaboration between Neil Gaiman and Paul Chadwick about alien saucers. Why isn't this a top-selling book?
If I had $30, I'd make it a Dark Horse trifecta with Conan the Barbarian #13 (Dark Horse, $3.50). How does Brian Wood do it, finding such great artists that no one else knows about like Mirko Colak? This time, Conan tries to conquer the desert. Then I'd do a Marvel trifecta: Avengers #6 (Marvel, $3.99), Nova #1 (Marvel, $3.99) and Thor: God of Thunder #5 (Marvel, $3.99). Avengers has seemingly the origin of my formerly most favorite D-list hero in the Marvel Universe, Captain Universe – until she upgraded to the A-list as an Avenger. Then Nova has a spirited, seemingly kid-friendly romp by Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness. Then Thor … Thor. This thoroughly dark and mythic story has made Jason Aaron's beard even more ominous than before.
If I could splurge, I'd get Alter-Ego #115 (TwoMorrows, $8.95). Normally a magazine about comics, in this issue they collect some lost gems – namely the stereoscopic comics (3-D!) – of the 1950s. 3-D glasses included, this issue contains work by Joe Simon, Jack Kirby, Joe Kubert, Curt Swan (!!), George Tuska and more. Truly a highlight of the week.

I think every girl is naturally attracted to a certain "type" of guy. But being open-minded is always good. Dating outside your usual type is like trying out a new style of clothing, you put it on for a bit, see how it makes you feel. These are the types of guys I've sampled:
The alternative musician...he used play guitar for me and sing. When he moved away to Boston, he made me a goodbye videotape (old school VHS style) of himself playing our favorite songs. Actually another guy I dated was the lead singer in a band. I didn't have the heart to tell him I thought his singing voice sounded nasally.
The athlete...my college boyfriend played rugby and was a wrestler. Not the smartest cookie in the jar but he was a sweet, sensitive guy so not a completely stereotypical jock. He also counts as: The military guy
The free spirit...after I moved home from Chicago post-college, I started dating an old high school classmate. We couldn't have been more different. I was entirely focused on starting a career, he earned cash by painting people's house numbers on their curb and spent his days painting and reading.
The older man...already talked about him.
The sports junkie...I had a boyfriend who put the FAN in fanatic. He was obsessed with all sports. The TV was always tuned to Cold Pizza in the mornings. He woke up in the middle of the night to watch Tour de France. He had 2 fantasy football teams. When his college football team lost, he would mope around the apartment for a week.
The foreigner...Scottish Guy – he's a topic for another time.
The youngster...when I was 31, I went on a couple dates with a boy 10 years younger. He was a bartender/waiter at the steak house a couple doors down from my apartment. He talked a lot about how much he loved getting wasted.
The male cheerleader...hey, it was college. His party trick was lifting girls above his head with one arm. His forearms were like hams. He told me once that he had to get his college roommate to fold his shirt collars down for him when he got dressed because his large forearms meant he couldn't bend his arms enough to reach behind his neck.
The coworker...happened twice. First time ended smoothly when the guy moved out of state. The second time exploded in my face spectacularly. Never again.
The friend turned love interest...I discovered first hand that sex does indeed ruin a friendship.
The alcoholic...his drinking problem revealed itself slowly. Everyone is capable of drinking too much on occasion. But string too many of those occasions together in a severely consistent manner and you've got an alcoholic on your hands. The depth of his alcoholism didn't fully come to light until after we broke up. I was cleaning my kitchen one day when I found what used to be a full bottle of rum now empty in the cabinet. It was half full when I'd pulled it out to make a rum cake a few months prior. He was clearly sneaking swigs while I wasn't looking.

Reasons to Visit Australia
Driving is a pleasure on Australia's scenic, safe and uncrowded roads. We usually arrange for you to be met at the airport and taken to your hotel, where a hire car will be delivered. Embark on one of the world's most scenic drives including the Great Ocean Road or Gibb River Road.
Australia's Red Centre has one of the country's highest concentrations of Aboriginal culture while in the north, Arnhem Land is Aboriginal owned and home to Australia's most extensive and significant collection of Aboriginal rock-art.
You don't need a surf board to appreciate the endless white sands that ring Australia. From the hustle and bustle of Bondi beach to the idyllic shores of the Whitsundays or remote beaches of the west, each has its own appeal.
From the world-famous Sydney in the east with her iconic Opera House and bridge, to the gleaming buildings and sandy shores of Perth, Australia offers the visitor endless opportunities to enjoy the fast-pace and excitement of city life.
Australia has one of the largest and greatest national park systems in the world, covering over 24 million hectares. With such diversity as lush rainforest to arid desert-scapes the wildlife that call these national parks home are equally diverse.
The vastness of Australia is something truly to behold and there is nowhere better to take this in than in the Outback itself, where beautiful desert-scapes stretch for as far as the eye can see.
Whatever your fitness level, there are plenty of opportunities to head out into the Australian countryside and enjoy the remarkably-varied landscapes during your trip. Choose from leisurely strolls to more strenuous, multiple day hikes.
