Was in my local Apple Store and asked a member of staff for the second generation of the Beats Tours to be told they were unavaila Was in my local Apple Store and asked a member of staff for the second generation of the Beats Tours to be told they were unavailable which actually turned out to be an extreme saving. These earphones are half the price of the Beats and sound amazing, especially at high volumes when the bass really kicks in. Hit shuffle on my phone just after i got them and The Chain by Fleetwood Mac started, the vocals are unbelievably clear, the drums sound like they are next to you and the bass guitar thumps your ears! Definitely worth the price and they look like they are going to stand up for a few years at least! …

The sound quality is amazing allowing me to hear nuances of sound that I hadn't been aware of before. The noise-isolating is excellent and means I don't have to turn up the volume full blast when listening on the tube, nor do others have to listen to what I am listening to either! The build quality is also excellent. All in all, I would expect to pay double or more for a set as good as these. …

I did really enjoy the I also never write reviews, but unfortunately found this product too frustrating to suffer in silence...
I did really enjoy the sound of these earphones, but not enough to warrant any more than 1 star. That is because unless you use them exclusively while stationary, you'll find the most durable thing about this product to be the packaging in which they arrived.
I received these as a gift (which I personally chose) in December '13, and by April '14 they they had completely stopped emitting sound. Slowly, starting from the left bud and moving on to the right, the sound began to only work intermittently, and then stop entirely. I had to order a replacement soon after they had ceased to function (which to the credit of RHA, was quite a quick process), and alas, after about a month of usage of the new pair, the left ear bud decided that it only wanted to work part-time.
This is still the case at the time of writing this review and I am currently having to manipulate the wire with duct tape to (temporarily) enjoy a twin-ear experience. And although I used these fairly often for endeavours such as walking at an above average pace, and running*, I still don't think it's unfair to have expected a life span of more than 4 months for a product which was "Machined from solid, aircraft grade aluminium" and has "Dual insulated, oxygen-free copper cable with gold plated 90° connection".
If you are purchasing or have recently purchased a pair of these, I suggest you keep your proof of said purchase handy, you'll probably need it soon.
*Don't expect to be able utilise these while doing this activity. I found that the buds seem to be disinterested in staying within my ear when introduced to moisture or any sort of movement, despite trying every size of the array of ear buds supplied and the 'wrap it around your ear' technique described in the manual. …

James Gallery & Soda Fountain (1790)Thursday, February 9th, 2012 Posted in Commercial Buildings, Federal Style, Old Saybrook | 2 Comments »
In 1824, the Marquis de Lafayette stopped at a store in Old Saybrook to make a purchase (according to tradition he bought either a pair of socks or a bar of saddle soap). Built in 1790 as a general store for the Humphrey Pratt Tavern, the building was moved in 1877 to the corner of Pennywise Lane where it became a pharmacy. A new section with a soda fountain was added in 1896 by owner Peter C. Lane, who had received his license in 1895 becoming one of the first two black pharmacists in Connecticut. From 1917 to 1967, the James Pharmacy was run by his sister-in-law and partner, Anna Louise James, the first African American woman to graduate from the Brooklyn College of Pharmacy and Connecticut's first female African American pharmacist. Miss James, as she was called, retired in 1967 and continued to live in the building's back apartment until her death in 1977. Miss James's niece, Ann Lane Petry, was also a pharmacist and worked for a time at the pharmacy. Petry became known as a writer, most notably for her novel The Street (1946), which became the first book by a black woman writer with sales topping a million copies. Closed after Miss James's retirement, the building was restored and reopened by new owners in 1984 and then had other owners. Today, it is owned by the neighboring Deacon Timothy Pratt House B&B and is known as the James Gallery & Soda Fountain.
John Shipman House (1697)Monday, December 19th, 2011 Posted in Colonial, Houses, Old Saybrook | Comments Off
The house at 404 Main Street in Old Saybrook has been dated back to 1697 or even 1687. By the mid-eighteenth century, the house was owned by John Shipman. This Cape-style house has been altered over the years, but still has four fireplaces and a beehive oven in the kitchen.
Grace Episcopal Church Rectory (1892)Monday, April 25th, 2011 Posted in Gothic, Houses, Old Saybrook | Comments Off
Located right next to Grace Episcopal Church in Old Saybrook is the Rectory, built in 1892, which replaced an earlier rectory, which had been lost in a fire. The design of the building was influenced by a house seen by the church's rector in England. The Rectory is currently being leased out, with the rector and his wife live elsewhere.
Grace Episcopal Church, Old Saybrook (1872)Sunday, April 24th, 2011 Posted in Churches, Gothic, Old Saybrook | Comments Off
For Easter, we're featuring here an English Gothic-style church in Old Saybrook. Regular Episcopal services began to be held in Old Saybrook in 1825, meeting in the Center Schoolhouse. The first Grace Episcopal Church was constructed in 1830-1831, later replaced by the current church building, built in 1871-1872. The second church used the cornerstone of the first church, which was subsequently moved around the corner to the Old Boston Post Road.
Old Saybrook Town Hall (1936)Saturday, March 5th, 2011 Posted in Colonial Revival, Old Saybrook, Public Buildings, Schools | 1 Comment »
Old Saybrook's Main Street School was built in 1936. In 1999, voters approved a referendum to convert it to serve as the new town hall. At the same time, restoration of the former town hall of 1911 was also approved and it has been restored as the Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center.
The J. Shipman House (1836)Saturday, February 27th, 2010 Posted in Greek Revival, Houses, Old Saybrook | Comments Off
Built around 1836, the J. Shipman House, on Main Street in Old Saybrook, has bold Greek Revival detailing and a later side bay window and enclosed side porch. The building now houses Old Saybrook Youth & Family Services.
The Humphrey Pratt Tavern (1785)Thursday, December 17th, 2009 Posted in Colonial, Old Saybrook, Taverns & Inns | 1 Comment »
Built around 1785, the Humphrey Pratt Tavern in Old Saybrook was a stage stop between New York and Boston and housed Saybrook's first post office. There is also an attached ell containing a ballroom. The Marquis de Lafayette stayed at the Tavern in 1824. Humphrey Pratt, who also built a house in 1785 for Saybrook's minister, Frederick William Hotchkiss, was a brother of Deacon Timothy Pratt, whose house stands nearby, and the Tavern remained in the family until 1943. The building also had an adjacent general store, built in 1790, which was later moved down the street and is now the James Pharmacy and Soda Fountain.

DescriptionWhen the epic, thousand-year-old battle between different dragon clans was finally over, and the benevolent White Dragons started ruling the country of Akranis, it looked like the age of peace has finally arrived. But all changes when the dragon rider Kain finds an ancient weapon known as the Rune Blade. He brings it to the old white dragon Yoshua, who tells him that a powerful protective artifact has been stolen, and the fateful hour has come to Akranis... with the help of his dragon Sarken, Kain has to restore peace and save Akranis and the dragon race.
The game is a rather unusual example of a side-scrolling action game, in which the player controls a dragon. Sarken is able to fly in any direction, but so are the enemies in the game, most of which are other dragons. The dragon has a HP bar which is depleted when he is damaged by enemy attacks or traps. Beside physically attacking, the dragon can also learn and cast offensive and protective magical spells.

Album Spotlight: Toby Keith, 'Drinks After Work'
The opening track on Toby Keith's 'Drinks After Work' album sets the tone for a mostly hard-rockin' ride that's full of attitude. Sure, that describes many of the singer's best songs, but as a producer, he makes subtle changes to give this collection of songs its own space.

Lady Antebellum will release their 'Live: On This Winter's Night' DVD next week (Oct. 29), but Taste of Country readers have a chance to win a copy today -- signed!
George Strait, 'I Got a Car' [Listen]
George Strait's new single 'I Got a Car' is another easy love story, just as he's done dozens of times before. It's a circle-of-life adventure revolving around a car, presumably the same car in each verse. Expect nothing out of the ordinary from this track from the 'Love Is Everything' album.
Album Spotlight: Cassadee Pope, 'Frame by Frame'
Cassadee Pope's debut album 'Frame by Frame' is a young woman's record. She refers to "boys" and "girls" and sings of things like her parents' divorce and falling in love in the front seat of an old car. The production straddles both pop and country, using phasers and Gwen Stefani-inspired stomps alongside fiddle and acoustic guitar. It's a mix that will be unique on country radio.
Justin Moore, 'Lettin' the Night Roll' [Listen]
Justin Moore's big country voice shines during the final choruses of 'Lettin' the Night Roll,' the second single from 'Off the Beaten Path.' His loyal fans will recognize the performance, and fans of country music will recognize the story he tells.
Album Spotlight: Joe Nichols, 'Crickets'
'Crickets' is a fine way to describe Joe Nichols' new album. The singer aims for a relax-on-the-riverbank vibe with many of the mid-tempo cuts on this project. The album begins and ends with crickets ( literally), and in between it offers a fairly level ride.
LoCash Cowboys, 'Best Seat in the House' [Listen]
Fans of the LoCash Cowboys may do a double-take when the duo's new single begins. 'Best Seat in the House' is Chris Lucas' tribute to his late father, and it's more emotional than the party rockers have ever been. Dads may weep during this ballad.
Rachel Farley, 'Midnight Road' [Listen]
Rachel Farley flirts with the role of country music's next bad girl in her new single 'Midnight Road.' In the end, the country-rocker plays it safe, but she leaves enough to catch one's attention.
Album Spotlight: Billy Currington, 'We Are Tonight'
Billy Currington adds a pinch of rock, two tablespoons of R&B and a heavy dose of soul to his new 'We Are Tonight' album. The result is a project that tastes different, but remains true to a sound he's cultivated over the last decade.
Little Big Town, 'Sober' [Listen]
Little Big Town's new single 'Sober' is a sweet love song bathed in four-part harmonies reminiscent of the group's most popular cuts from the mid '00s. After three edgier singles, the quartet lightens up.

Scotty McCreery's 'See You Tonight' video tells a homecoming love story for a member of the United States military.

How about cutting some of the programs that the city put in place for various non-profits and special interest groups that would be highly debated if the program stood on it own? Each year the City Council incrementally adds more social programs, which at the time, don't seem so big, but taken together are considerable. For example afterschool programs, Cuesta Park Tennis Club, Fire Department's Hazmat, senior lunch open to all at the Senior Center, etc., etc., etc....We need more programs for the Earth!

Marchers in Secretly Gay Parade disappointed that everyone knows they're gay now.
NORTHSIDE - Organizers of the area's first Secretly Gay Parade recently failed in their promise to ensure no one would find out the thousands of parade marchers were gay. Gay marcher Michael Santos, who carried a large sign that said I'm secretly gay and proud, commented angrily to reporters, "I was promised complete anonymity but now everyone knows I'm gay." Disappointed marcher Peter Winchell who was unaware the event was televised said, "I have protected my gay secret for so long and now just because of one silly Secretly Gay Parade my cover is totally blown." Organizer Steven Rogers said, "We regret any pain this has caused all of the participants who were secretly gay. We certainly plan to offer all of these people assistance in making a successful transition to being secretly gay again."

When you are happy, right now, then there is no goal. If you are even thinking about the future; tomorrow also I should be happy, then you are not totally happy now. So, hundred percent happiness is there only in the present moment.
If you are a group of very sad people, there is no point in talking about happiness. Because, whatever I say will go above your heads. And, if you're already happy, then there is no point in talking about happiness! But, success is something we can talk about.
To me, an undying smile is a sign of success; a confidence that cannot be shaken is a sign of success

Lotus says fourth place in the Constructors' Championship is still the target in 2012
|By Dieter Rencken and Jonathan Noble
|Monday, June 18th 2012, 10:28 GMT
Lotus owner Gerard Lopez reckons that his team has a proper chance of beating either Ferrari or Mercedes to fourth place in the Constructors' Championship this year.
The Enstone-based outfit is currently third overall in the standings - 11 points clear of Ferrari - but is well aware of how competitive the fight for positions is going to be.
However, Lopez says his outfit's hopes are boosted by the fact that it has both drivers scoring decent points this year something that Ferrari and Mercedes are not experiencing so far.
"Finishing top four is still the aim and I think the target is realistic," Lopez told AUTOSPORT. "If we can get more we will take more, but the top four is the objective.
"And I think right now, we are one of the very good teams because of two drivers being able to score points."
Lopez is delighted with the way Lotus' season is panning out, and reckons only circumstance has prevented it taking a victory so far.
"Things have to come together differently," he said. "In Canada, Kimi's differential did not work so that is half a second, and he should have been second row. Romain made a mistake on his new set of tyres and that did not help.
"If you start 7th and 11th, you can take the podium. You could win the race but it is difficult. For us to win a race, the whole package has to work and there are many people trying to do the same thing
"But as long as both drivers keep scoring points then I am happy with that."

I'm glad I skipped NYC in 2012. I wanted to do that, but the cost was just too much to justify so I went and entered Chicago instead and then went to NYC in tourist mode. In hindsight that was a very lucky decision!
Weedy - Nonsense. She'll be cursing her luck at passing up on the legend that you are.
Getting NYC envy now!
Tim - My London marathon was a tough one as well. I did it two weeks after running Paris a couple of years ago and my legs rebelled in the later stages. I was ok until about 18 miles and then all power to the engine went bye-bye!
I need the 5 x 20 to be in good condition for a marathon. I didn't do that for LN and suffered badly as a result.
TinkerBEL - I've got two more sleeps before I'm off on my travels too! Although mine is more swanning about in tourist mode than important family stuff. Hope you have a great time seeing your folks.
orapidrun - I was lucky as I entered the last year before it became a ballot (2012), so I got in on a first come first served basis. It's certainly a popular event and much like most other big city marathons one that's becoming more popular year by year.
I'd imagine the odds might be slightly better than they are for London, but I'm not sure how the ballot separates out allocation of places to foreigners. From a UK perspective it's not a race that seems to attract much interest at all, not sure if that is also how it plays out from other nations.
Berkeley Runner - Welcome to the thread. I ran Chicago a couple of years ago. Great race and one of my favourite cities to visit.

Baggage Allowance
Airlines have varying weight restrictions on luggage. Some airlines may impose additional charges if you choose to check any baggage; be advised that you are responsible for any such costs. Contact your airline for detailed information regarding luggage size and weight restrictions for your flight, but please note that Go Ahead travelers are restricted to one checked bag per person due to storage limitations on motor coaches and other internal transfers, which may include train connections or flights.

Clothing & Packing Tips
To ensure you're comfortable while out exploring, we recommend packing lightweight, loose-fitting clothing that can be easily layered. For sightseeing, we suggest bringing a sturdy pair of walking shoes or sneakers, as well as a lightweight jacket or rainwear. If you're planning a visit to a high-end restaurant or performance, you may also want to bring dressier attire. Also, please remember that it's preferable to avoid showing bare legs or shoulders during visits to churches or other religious sites (entrance may be denied on this basis).
There are no major health risks associated with traveling to England, Ireland and Scotland. Be sure to check with your healthcare provider for the latest updates and overseas travel requirements.
Traditional Irish cooking is simple, relying on meat-based dishes. The traditional Irish stew is always popular choices. Soda bread is delicious and very filling, as are Irish cakes, such as scones and Barm Brack. The thick, black stout known as Guinness is a national institution in its own right. In recent years, Dublin has seen something of a culinary revolution, and the city now boasts an impressive array of new restaurants offering exciting cuisine with continental European, Asian and Californian influences. Specialties of Scotland include kippers, smoked salmon, Scotch broth, venison, shortbread, oatcakes and haggis (made of sheep innards). As in Ireland, sometimes the best (and least expensive) meals are found in pubs. Whisky is a favored local spirit, and Scottish ales are equally world-famous. For traditional English fare at a reasonable price, try a pub meal. Stilton cheese, steak and kidney pie and Cumberland sausages are specialties. Sip afternoon tea with delicious finger sandwiches and scones at Harrods for the ultimate in English tradition. Modern-day London also boasts an array of ethnic restaurants unmatched by almost any other city in the world. Popular options for the adventuresome palate include Indian, Thai, Chinese, Indonesian, Greek and West African cuisine.
Round-trip flights arrive in Shannon, Ireland, and depart from Edinburgh, Scotland (London on the extension). Transportation from Ireland to Wales (by ferry) is also included. All other transportation is serviced by private motor coach. Dublin and Edinburgh are both best explored on foot, although buses and taxis are available. In London, you can't get around without using the legendary, 12-line "tube," connecting all the districts and attractions. You might want to mix up travel on the tube with some walking and bus travel. Don't miss the chance to explore London on the iconic double-decker buses.
Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) uses 240 volts. Ireland operates on the European-standard 220 volts.
Time Zones
Britain and Ireland both operate on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), which is five hours ahead of U.S. Eastern Standard Time (EST).
The euro (in Ireland) and the British pound are the currencies you'll be using on tour. Better rates of exchange are usually available in your destination countries, although it is worth ordering some currency from your local bank to use when you first arrive. We strongly advise that you take credit cards and ATM cards, as needed. We suggest that you inform your bank and credit card company of your travel plans, so that they won't confuse your international purchases for fraudulent charges.
At the conclusion of your tour, it's customary to offer your Tour Director and driver a gratuity. We recommend tipping in your tour country's currency, the equivalency of $3USD/CAD per person per day for your driver and $6USD/CAD to $9USD/CAD per person per day for your Tour Director. If applicable, we also recommend the equivalency of $2USD/CAD per local guide. Tips can only be paid in cash. Please keep current local currency exchange rates in mind when tipping.

Gorgeous journey
The "Rural landscapes" tour is just that, and they are beautiful. We had sun in LImerick, rain in Dublin, gales in the Scottish highlands, and it was all wonderful regardless. The lakes were superb, in Ireland, England and Scotland. Rainbows were plentiful. The castles were glorious (make sure to see Bunratty at the beginning; it's like being transported to the fifteenth century.) There were delightful villages, such as Comwy in Wales, just below the castle there.The food was often excellent and many meals were included, a real bonus. We were only ten in the group, and that, too, was really good (and not simply for logistical reasons!). My only complaint is our guide. He started off very well (the unscheduled first castle, the Irish whiskeys), but by the end I felt he had lost interest. His historical knowledge was sometimes shaky. In one outrageous instance, he pretty well abandoned us, if only briefly. He had our bus parked some half mile below our destination, all uphill; our bus ride had been overlong; he raced ahead to find the bathrooms and disappeared from view so that we, who had obviously never been there before, had to ask at an information booth where to find them--which wasn't easy even after the uphill hike. As one of the men in the group commented afterward, "I could feel his tip shrinking in my pocket." (To return, he had the bus brought to within yards of where we were, so it certainly wasn't a case of not being able to bring us closer.) Accomodations varied. Some were excellent: the first night at the Radisson Blu, the hotels in the countryside in England and Scotland. The hotel in Dublin was a particularly poor choice, and poorly located. (We were told it was because some people complained about the city noise. I have my doubts that was a majority complaint--or even the real reason.) The one in Edinburgh was better, and though it had no restaurant, there were numerous options nearby (as we learned from the hotel, not from our guide). Of our three bus drivers, two were fine (it does make a difference). Paddy, the Irish one, was priceless. I was also glad that the trip included the two days in Dublin and the one in Edinburgh.,A second day would have been lovely, since it's such an interesting city, but having five hours free time after the city-and-castle tour was really nice, especially since the Scottish tour guide had given us a variety of things we might see (aside from shopping!). In fact, the pace of the trip, especially considering how many different places we saw and how actively we saw them, was very pleasantly leisurely, On the whole, this was a well-planned and very rewarding trip.
Our first tour with goahead!
We really enjoyed our trip of the Rural Landscapes of Ireland and Britain. We had a couple of bus issues which resulted in missing a couple of our optionals, but Goahead have said they are reimbursing us which is awesome. Our tour director was from Italy and wasn't really familiar with Ireland and Scotland and was relying on our bus drivers to help her out. We also had extended our stay and goahead was to extend our hotel rooms but found out that they had not. It did work out in the end, but a lot of worries when you think you will have to be looking for 3 rooms in London at peak tourist season.
Dear Tracey, Thank you for sharing your review of your recent tour of Rural Landscapes of Ireland & Britain. We would like to apologize again for the mishaps during your tour and we are glad that you feel we addressed your concerns. We're so glad you enjoyed your time in Britain and Ireland, and I hope we have the opportunity to reassure you of your choice to travel with Go Ahead Tours.

Memorable Moments!
My husband and I had looked forward to traveling to Ireland and Scotland for two years to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and discover family roots. We were not disappointed! What a fun bunch of people with whom to travel and a great tour director. Ali warmly welcomed us at the airport, shared Ireland and the UK's rich histories, and helped us plan our own excursion to meet with family in Scotland. With her help we were able to travel on our own via public rail and bus transportation! We made several travel friends with whom we look forward to traveling with again! Every part of this tour was fabulous, and our favorite was the Ring of Kerry in Ireland and meeting and visiting with family in Scotland! Thanks for offering such quality travel at such reasonable prices with memories to last a lifetime!
Fantastic Friendly UK
Having recently returned from a tour of Ireland, Scotland and briefly into Wales and England, I have many great memories of the people we travelled with along with the absolutely gorgeous scenery. Mountains, lakes, rivers, castles, cathedrals, villages, tour of Wordworth's home, ancient buildings, sheep, cattle, sunsets and sunrises all gave me what I was looking for in a tour. Hotels for the most part were exceptionally clean aside from Fort William where we were assigned a room that was dank and damp with moldy ceilings and walls in the bathroom. Dampness was seeping up through the bathroom floor in the morning. After discussion with the desk clerk about the condition of the room, we were moved to a much drier room the second night. It was great! Portage of luggage was an issue as there were not sufficient hotel staff to carry our luggage to and from the rooms and some of our male passengers ended up doing much of the carrying and loading. Other hotels were fantastic aside from the cot which touched the floor when you sat on it in Cheshire. The bottle of wine which we received was not much good to us as we left it behind as it was too heavy to pack and too much to drink at once. Transportation - after having travelled with another company last year on the continent, I was appalled at the condition of the bus which we had. It was anything but clean. Dried gum was stuck to a tray and the back of a seat, some of the seats were missing trays and/or netting to hold water bottles, The floor was only swept during the last couple of days of the trip. The garbage container was not emptied. The bus broke down twice, in one case leaving us stranded in downtown Liverpool. We walked back to where we were to attend the Beatles exhibit. We were late and missed the movie, and felt rushed getting going through the display. The other major disappointment was missing the tour of the Ilean Donan castle due to a mix up with the ferry ride to Isle of Skye. Included meals were very good with lots of variety to chose from. It was a treat to have a choice. The farewell dinner was a disappointment as it was Italian (very slow service and then rushed out before everyone had dessert). I expected to have a Scottish meal. The ceilidh in Edinburgh was great - music, food, etc Even the fire alarms going off at the beginning couldn't put a damper on the fun. Just one more experience to add to my journal. Tour guide - I expected to have an Irish or Scottish tour guide and was disappointed in that we had an Italian guide who had little if any experience guiding in the area. While she did the best she could under the circumstances, it remained a major disappointment as we did not receive the "flavour of the Irish or Scots people". Along with the history we were told, it would have been interesting to know populations, economy of the countries, etc. We did get this with the local guides on the days we had tours. They all gave exceptional tours. Added events such as the peat bog, sheep herding and Irish music night, etc were much appreciated and enjoyed. Gretna appeared to be a great place but we only had 15 minutes which extended to much longer (we sat on the bus) while to the tour guide and driver negotiated for shortbread and candy. There would have been time to tour the blacksmith shop.
Dear Evelyn, We appreciate all of your feedback regarding your tour of Rural Landscapes of Ireland & Britain. I assure you that our attention to quality is of utmost importance so I apologize if this tour did not quite live up to what you were expecting from us. Feedback from our customers is critical to our success and is something we take very seriously. Thank you for taking the time to write this review, and please be assured that this information has been passed on to our operations department so that we can continue to improve our tour experiences.

Beautiful Countryside
This is our first tour so we have nothing to compare it to. The scenery was spectacular and we really enjoyed the villages. Often, we didn't have time to really get to see the town where we were staying, but then would spend too long in a tourist trap waiting to go to our next scheduled stop. This may be impossible to avoid and still make it through the country in the time allowed. Scheduling seemed to be a problem. Our biggest disappointment was having an Italian tour director on a tour of Ireland and Great Britain. A director who was familiar with the history, customs and the like would have certainly enhanced the experience. Most members of the tour wound up relying on the bus drivers for local information. The two local guides we had in Dublin and Edinburgh were excellent. I'm sure that herding a big group is difficult so I give our director applause for doing that. She just didn't really seem to want to be there leading us around. Overall though, our experience was good.
Dear Patricia, Thank you for your review and I'm glad you had a good time in Ireland and Britain! We do appreciate your comments about the scheduling of your tour. Unfortunately, due to the distances between some of the destinations on this itinerary it is often necessary to make stops to break up the longer drives. Often times these stops are only possible at larger facilities that are able to accommodate large coach buses and bigger groups of people. The feedback on your tour director is also appreciated and will be passed on to our operations department for further consideration.

Beautiful Scenery!
The countries are so lush and green. Flowers everywhere and it was so amazing to see all of the old structures and ruins of centuries ago. The weather was so good and made each day so much more interesting .
Once in Lifetime Experience
Our tour of the landscapes of Britain and Ireland was everything I had hoped it would be. The scheduling, hotels, and food were excellent. Ali was so helpful and knowledgeable of the countries history. This was a learning experience for me, since I had not been on such a tour, but couldn't have asked for more, except time. We saw so much in such a short time. Would have loved to have spent more time in Ireland and Scotland. The group that we traveled with was great. We were the "newbies", not having toured before, and everyone was so nice and helpful. It was a pleasure to be around such nice people. They were almost like family. If in the future, we are in a position to travel again, we would use Go Ahead. The only down side was the airport in Newark, NJ. and with United Airlines. We had to spend an extra day travel time.
Great Tour, Great Director
Ali did an excellent job conducting the tour and moving through areas we visited. I would certainly enjoy touring with her again. The schedule for the tour was at a pace that could be maintained with some effort but not overly aggressive. She was very helpful in trying to arrange a side trip to visit ancestral locations. The only problem was encountered in Newark with several United flight cancellations. This was blamed on the weather but other weather sources could not verify the problem, consequently we spent an extra night in Newark. If I were to tour with EF again I will not use Newark as a departing or arriving airport, and prefer not to use United Airlines.
Good itinerary
This itinerary was appropriately named rural landscapes. We only did the major cities of Dublin, Edinburgh, and London which was fine. The great castles and churches and scenery are outside of the city. Ireland was the highlight of the trip but I soon grew to love Scotland and the Wales and the villages of England along the way. Liverpool was exciting, especially the day with the Beatles Experience(an option). All the options were terrific including two entertainment nights with Irish dancing and song and the Scottish which included the bagpipes, dancing, and the ceremony of the Haggis. I would recommend opting to take all that are offered on this trip.
Our Tour Director made our trip!!!
My wife and I made the trip to Ireland, Wales and Scotland with GAT in March 2014. We were dressed in layers for the cooler, rainy weather. As our group was only 15 people we didn't go on many optional tours, but our Tour Director, Mansel David certainly made up for it!!! He went out of his way to show us some extra places and things along the way! Mansel gave us the history of each and every place we visited as well as the current events at most locations! He should be teaching as a History Professor at a university or college!!! What a GREAT Guy!!! There were a few hotels we stayed at and one inparticular at Best Western Shap Wells (I believe they are no longer on GAT hotel list, hopefully) that was not great. Old, rickety and in need of repair! The places visited were very nice! We could have used another day in Edinburgh, Scotland (maybe fewer in the countryside) or maybe make it as an extension to the trip instead of London, England. Too little time to see all we wanted to see in the beautiful city of Edinburgh! You are there only one and a half days total! Overall, it was a great trip, only because of Mansel David and the extra mile he went to make it successful! Regards, Barry & Toni S.

I've inherited some JUnit tests written in scala that need to be fixed to use @BeforeClass semantics. I understand that the @BeforeClass annotation must be applied to static methods only. I understand that methods defined in "companion" objects (as opposed to scala classes) are static. How can I get a test method to be called once prior to the individual instance methods in a test class?
seems to work...
I had to move to specs2 to implement this feature with Scala. Just adding an example to help people with the same problem as the orginal poster who don't yet know specs2.
The specs2 way uses the concept of a "step" to accomplish test suite set-up and tear-down. If you run with a JUnitRunner all your Ant scripts and IDEs that use JUnit will still know how to run it. Here's an example using a mutable specification from specs2:
And here's an example with a non-mutable specification:
You don't specify if you mean inherited in the OO-programming sense or the "taken over from someone else" sense of the word.
In the latter case, I'd advise you to re-write the thing using either ScalaTest or Specs2 and expose it as a JUnit test (both frameworks support this) so that it'll integrate with whatever other tools and processes you already have in place.

Stayed here for 3 nights with my husband and another couple. We all enjoyed our stay and have nothing but wonderful things to say about the Hotel Metro. The location is central to lots of attractions. The rooms were good size and spotless. Bathrooms were a little small but the shower was terrific-with wall, rain shower head and handheld options. Felt spa like despite the overall size of bathroom. Continental breakfast more than adequate. Free coffee/tea all day which hit the spot after long sightseeing days. It was full when we were there but the hotel was quiet. Great view from hotel rooftop of the Empire State Building which is literally just around the corner.
We did use the concierge for theatre tix which was hassle free but there are great deals to be had in Times Square if you are willing to do a bit of work and stand in line.
Also had free wifi which was another bonus. Would highly recommend this hotel if you want a boutique hotel feel for very reasonable price.
