Land ownership questioned for Vt. trailJune 20,2013Some question
trail ownership
DUMMERSTON Development of a trail near Dummerston has come to a halt as its ownership is being questioned.
The goal is have the trail follow a 36-mile former West River Railroad route from Brattleboro to Londonderry. Its attracted hikers since the railways demise in the late 1930s.
Representatives of the nonprofit Friends of the West River Trail said they want to work with property owners and possibly re-route future trail sections.
The Brattleboro Reformer reported that some residents just north of the trails end in Dummerston have signed a petition opposing further development due to privacy concerns.
The trail is well developed between Londonderry and Townshend. The trail group has begun publicizing the southern section between Brattleboro to an access point in Dummerston, which has brought up land ownership questions.MORE IN This Just InStaff Report Full StoryStaff Report Full StoryThe Associated Press Full Story

Arab EFL Learners' Writing Dilemma at Tertiary Level
There is a general trend among researchers and speakers at conferences and symposia that Arab EFL Learners are primarily responsible for their weak writing performance. Educational policies usually evade criticism. This study is an attempt to provide an additional interpretation of Arab EFL learners' writing problems. It posits that for the most part writing problems are caused by the employment of outdated approaches and resources. To this end, content analysis has been applied to existing writing courses in three Arab Universities. The examination of these courses has revealed that English Departments adopted approaches and materials characteristic of the 1940s and 1950s. Thus unless the new the developments into the linguistic theory are incorporated into the writing syllabus, Arab EFL learners will continue to suffer from writing problems.

Born and raised in Dothan, Lee was introduced to spinning vinyl at the age of 18, when he first started going out to clubs. He became acquainted with the local DJs, and was intrigued by their talent.
"I'd had a love of music, different types of music — dance music, rock music, everything," he remembers. When he decided to take up the trade in his early 20s, Lee started on a much more basic scale than today's DJs.
"Back then, it was records only — there wasn't such things as CDs or CD mixers and CD players," he said. He bought a mixer from a flea market and turntables from a pawn shop on a road trip to Atlanta.
"Being that age, turntables are $500 bucks apiece – it's not like you have $1,000 laying around," Lee said of his equipment choices. He started scouting regularly for records in nearby Pensacola and Tallahassee.
"We'd drive an hour and a half just to buy records — that's what you had to do," he said of his early days in the business. For a few years in the late '90s, Lee opened his own record store, "Pimpin' the Wax," inspired by a Beastie Boys lyric, but was eventually pushed out by the arrival of the more conventional CD turntable and the arrival of Napster and other forms of obtaining music.
"Basically, records just became more and more obsolete," he said.
Lee DJed off and on for the next five years before a chance meeting with electronic group Rabbit and the Moon in 2004 allowed Lee to explore the DJ scene abroad — and gain exposure to the then-hot genre, electronica, which uses electronic instruments and sounds and usually has fast dance beats.
"It was fun, but I considered myself still kind of young at the time," he said, "and it was always cool to be the DJ."
Before he knew it, he had a new name, traveled to more places around the Southeast and developed a new focus. Formerly known as "DJ Nitemare," Rabbit bandmembers David Christophere and DJ Monk didn't really think the monkier fit his personality. After doing some research, Lee tapped into his zodiac sign, Aries. The Aries sign represents fire, so Lee decided to find his synergy by focusing on the opposite element, water — which in Japanese is "mizu." He's satisfied with his decision.
"It should make sense, and it should have a reason," he said of choosing a name.
Following a lengthy residency during the 2000s at Grand Central Station in Dothan, he now spins across the state, and can be found once a month hosting "Revive Saturdays" by Daybreakk Productions in Anniston. Don't expect the same rotation every set, however.
"You never know what to expect — except for a good time," he said. "I don't think a good DJ comes prepared to play a certain set. It's all on crowd reaction, and what keeps the dance floor packed."
Lee enjoys introducing crowds to new music, using remixes and mashups to introduce people to new music. "Everybody and their mother is putting hip-hop lyrics over dubstep right now," he said of the latest dance floor trend.
Lee is looking forward to his return to Anniston on Saturday to The Smoking Moose, a.k.a. "the funnest crowd that I play for."
"They love it, they're there to have fun — I don't think I've ever seen a fight in there … it's just fun. I have friends from Dothan … they ride up (to the Smoking Moose)because they'd rather party there on a Saturday night than back home."
Erin Williams is a graduate of Faith Christian School and the University of Alabama. She is a performing arts aide for the Washington Post Style section.
Longer days, hotter nights and more fun and unpredictable adventures with friends and family means it's time to let the windows down and crank up the music. Lee has compiled a playlist of his 10 favorite summer jams that can take you from beach to barbecue in just one track.
DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince — "Summertime"
"As the name states, there are not many people on the planet that can't associate this song with summer. The laid-back sound of this track always reminds me of chillin' with my friends at a barbeque, or laid back on the sand listening to the waves crash in."
LL Cool J — "Doin It"
I personally have always associated this track with spring and summer because LL Cool J performed this track down in Panama City Beach with MTV the summer this track came out.
Sublime — "What I Got"
"The California sound of Sublime always sets the tone for any summer siesta."
Jay Z feat. UGK — "Big Pimpin"
"This track brought UGK to the mainstream, and made a timeless song that most recognize immediately. A video shot under the sun, surrounded by big boats and big money — perfect for any pool party or lakeside throwdown."
Dr. Dre feat. Snoop Dogg — "Nuthin' But A 'G' Thang"
"I don't think there was a single car that did not have this CD in their player the summer of 1993."
Blur — "Song 2"
"One of the more recognized songs by Blur, sure to get the party started no matter what the location."
Juvenile — "Back That Thang Up"
"This track was huge for the whole year in 1999. It put Cash Money Records on the map. You all would not have Lil' Wayne if it wasn't for this track."
Sleigh Bells — "Rill, Rill"
"A chill laid-back track that you can kick your feet up and relax to while soaking up some rays."
LMFAO — "I'm In Miami, Trick"
"This was the breakout song for these guys, and firmly planted them in the dance scene for many more singles to come. This was a big track for nightlife in the summer of 2008."
Sisqo — "Thong Song"
"The video to this track says it all — suds, sunshine, and sand."

"It's grown to be a huge event for our school," Sparks Athletic Director Rob Kittrell said. "We started off in a small little room in the Elks Lodge on Rock Boulevard and within four years we had moved over to the rec center on Richards Way in order to fit over 300 people. The last few years we've raised upwards of over $15,000 for just athletics."
The no-host cocktails and silent auction event will feature a wide selection of desserts starting at 6 p.m.
The auction cost $15 per person for entrance, along with a dinner buffet beginning at 6:30 p.m. Participants can reserve a table of eight for $120. Following dinner, the live auction will begin at 7 p.m. An all-night buy-in paddle is $40. Credit and debit cards will be accepted at the auction. All proceeds benefit Sparks High athletics.
"It's a great event," Kittrell said. "There's a lot of alumni involved and teacher support. For me, being an alumnus of Sparks, it's great seeing all the old alumni come back and have a night of fun while giving back to the athletic program. From the auction we've been able to buy all the hurdles and track equipment when we got the new track. We're able to pay for meals when our teams go out of town, stuff like that.
"The people that go just have a great time. What it has turned into is an event where people buy a table with their friends and family. It's a night for them to get together and sit around and socialize. On top of it all, their money is going to a good cause so it's become a big social event for family and friends to show their support."

Annual Reports
Your company's good standing depends on this yearly filing.
States in which your corporation or LLC is formed or qualified to do business in generally require you to file an annual report.
By filing an annual report, you're providing the Secretary of State with updated information about your business. The details of your annual report may vary from state to state, but typically include information about your corporation or LLC such as:
- the names and addresses of your officers, directors, members, managers and/or trustees
- your principal business office address
- the name of your company's registered agent
- the number of shares of stock your corporation has issued
Different states charge different filing fees for annual reports. Deadlines, too, vary from state to state. Some states have only a bi-annual (every two years) filing requirement. Other states require corporations and LLCs to file an initial annual report soon after formation.
Failure to file an annual report can mean penalties, fines and loss of good standing for your business.
The Company Corporation can help.
The Company Corporation can prepare and file your business's annual reports. By outsourcing the job to us, you'll save time, remove uncertainty about details, deadlines and fees, and help protect your company's good standing. When you sign up for our Annual Report Preparation & Filing services, The Company Corporation will track your deadlines, prepare your annual reports, and file them on time for you. To make sure we have the right information, we'll even conduct a thorough audit of your company records and provide you a detailed report of our findings.
It's important to note that along with annual reports, many states require companies to pay annual franchise taxes. The Company Corporation can help you satisfy your franchise tax filing requirements, as well as a host of other business compliance obligations.

Answered on 23rd May 2011:
My biggest tip for productivity is this: identify the things that actually make you money in your business and do those things FIRST, every day.
So many people spend so much time doing things that mostly just keep them "busy", while not doing the things that actually make them money. Identifying the "money making activities" is HUGE, and then actually doing them is what makes it happen.

Answered on 29th March 2008:
I think you are right. Most online businesses are going to deal with sales in some form or fashion, this is only because to make money you have to swap money for something. With the rebate processing you will be swapping money for your time.
I know sales can seem intimidating, but you have to realize "selling" online is not like selling a used car. It's much more about advertising. Which can be totally fun. You advertise your products/service and then people contact you to find out more. There are a million ways to advertise online and when you find a company that has an excellent team they will help you out every step of the way to learn how to most effectively advertise your business.
One last thing. No matter what you are doing you are always selling. Because people don't REALLY buy a business/product they buy YOU. A study was done where they asked a bunch of people who went to a network marketing meeting to rank things in order of importance. The person who was presenting the information was one and whether the person felt they could be successful was number 2. Info about the company and products did not come in until number 5. It's all about you!!! So even if you have crappy products ~ which I don't suggest you align yourself with poor products ~ what it really comes down to is shining who YOU ARE clear calm and bright and people will be attracted to that.
Good luck and I hope you find just what you are looking for. :)

Parents, did you know that more than 80% of teens said it's you they follow? Read on to learn more great facts…
For teens, the risk of being in a car crash is at a lifetime high in the first 6 to 12 months and 1,000 miles of driving.
A teen's risk of being in a crash can be reduced by a combination of practice, gradual exposure to higher-risk situations and parental supervision.
For teens, just one passenger increases their crash risk by 48 percent.
Most fatal teen nighttime crashes happen before midnight.
Teen crash risk is high in the evening hours.
Do you know your state's GDL laws? States with strong GDL laws have seen as much as a 40 percent reduction in teen crash rates.
Every 24 seconds, so far in the U.S. there have been an estimate of over 900,000 crashes due to drivers using cell phones and texting while driving.
Teens behind the wheel are inexperienced and the consequences can be deadly for public safety.
We have three suggestions that might help your piece of mind, and help keep your teen safe.
Set ground rules and expectations about what it means for both you and your teen to be smart drivers.
Connect with other parents of teens and share your safe driving experiences, triumphs, and lessons learned in Allstate's Good Hands Community.
If you have questions about teen driving, an agent can help you get answers so your young driver has the insurance coverage they need.
Here are some questions you may want to ask yourself before you start the conversation.
Start the Teen Driving Conversation
Right now. Research shows that too many parents put off the conversation until their teens are "permit age" (generally 15).
The other big 'talks' — as in smoking, drugs, sex — usually take place much earlier.
But the consequences of unsafe driving can be deadly, so the earlier you have the conversation, the better. Here are some tips to help the discussion.
How they drive during those first few months sets the pattern for all future driving.
This web site is a great resource for you to keep the conversation going.
Remember, they're excited about driving.
It's a fun topic for them.
If your teen feels they can share their views, their experiences and their excitement about driving with you, things may go a lot more smoothly.
But becoming a "smart driver" does appeal to them.
The same goes for becoming a "skilled driver."
So concentrate on them learning to drive well and prepare them well for adverse driving situations such as rain, snow, and glare.
You're still the authority figure they most admire.
Your job is to provide structure for your teens.
They won't ever say so, but it's what teens want and what they need-- a parent, not a friend.
Don't balk at enforcing the guidelines.
A consequence is not a consequence unless you enforce it.
Taking away your teen's driving privileges for a week or a month may not be convenient for you, but it might just save their life.
In a nutshell, GDL laws let novice drivers get on-road driving experience gradually and under lower-risk conditions. These laws have been proven to help save lives.
Whether you cover your teen's insurance premium, or they pay it on their own, you may be able to take advantage of some very helpful discounts - especially if your home or other autos are insured with Allstate.
*The availability, qualifications and amount of these discounts may vary from state to state. In addition, terms, conditions and exclusions may apply, and total savings may vary depending on the coverages purchased.
Feel free to overload on more great safe driving resources!
Allstate hosts teen driving programs, with the goal of helping teens stay safe on America's roadways. All of the programs reinforce good driving practices, help facilitate conversations with parents and are committed to safe driving.
The Allstate Foundation's teen safe driving program continues to develop innovative, teen-informed approaches to help raise awareness. Read below to learn more about these programs.
The Allstate Foundation aims to make smart driving socially acceptable by changing the way teens think and act in the car. Here you can find information on many aspects of teen driving, as well as parent-related research and tips.

You can help save a life, maybe even your own or someone you love. To learn more about Act Out Loud go to www.actoutloud.org. Start planning your rally today.
The Allstate Foundation sponsors the annual Keep the Drive High School Journalism Awards to encourage teens to educate their peers about the importance of stronger driving laws at the state or national level. To learn more about this program go to The Allstate Foundation.
The Save11 Facebook community has one goal and that is to make the roads safer for teens. Allstate is focused on encouraging every state to adopt the new Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) standards. GDL will help prevent teen driving deaths by introducing teens to the driving experience; gradually and in lower-risk settings. Join the movement today at facebook.com/save11.
If you are looking for more resources and tools to keep teen drivers safe, visit the Drive It Home site at www.driveithome.org.
Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) Laws are licensing programs created to protect new drivers and help them obtain hands-on experience under lower risk conditions. These laws work, too. They've actually been proven to save lives. Typically, GDL laws contain provisions for extended periods of adult supervision during learner phases, restrictions on late-night driving and driving with other teen passengers, plus mandated seat belt use. Heads up though, each state's GDL laws are different, so check the laws where you live.
Let's Make Smarter Drivers! Allstate is committed to keeping teen drivers safe.

Description: Do you make time to talk to your Arduino? Maybe you should! The EasyVR Shield 2.0 is a voice recognition shield for Arduino boards integrating an EasyVR module. It includes all of the features of the EasyVR module in a shield form factor that simplifies connection to the Arduino main board and PC.
EasyVR 2.0 is a multi-purpose speech recognition module designed to add versatile, robust and cost effective speech and voice recognition capabilities to virtually any application. EasyVR is the third generation version of the successful VRbot module and builds on the features and functionality of its predecessor. In addition to the EasyVR 2.0 features like 28 user-defined Speaker Dependent (SD) triggers and 28 custom speaker independent (SI) commands, the shield has additional connectors for the microphone input, an 8 ohm speaker output, audio line-out/headphone jack, and access to the I/O pins of the EasyVR module. A programmable LED is also included to show feedback during recognition tasks.
Replaces: COM-10963
Sweet! One step closer to "Tea. Earl Grey. Hot."
Does anyone know if this could be use to record/learn a dog bark and recognize and trigger based on that?
Also interested in the same solution! :)
Hi, good night.. One question, Do you ship to Mexico? I live in Mexico City And I'm very interested to buy an EasyVr, but I can't find stores in the Mexico that sell those products. If you ship to mexico how much time this product will arrive to my city? Thanks,
Just an FYI for those with the original EasyVR. I have an EasyVR I bought about a year ago. The original, NOT the 2.0 version. I had gotten the EasyVR Commander working fine with my old laptop back when I first bought it, but when I downloaded the software from the VEEAR website to my new computer a few days ago, the EasyVR Commander wouldn't work. I finally got it working with my Ardunio Mega 2560 on my new laptop after copying the OLD software (version 3.4.10) I originally downloaded when I bought the EasyVR. For some reason the current software on the VEEAR website (version 188.8.131.52) wont' work…maybe it's a plot to force us to upgrade… Lucky for me I still had the old laptop and hadn't wiped that hard drive clean.
Hello all,
I am a 3rd year electronics engineering student, long story short I had it working perfectly (1.0 version) but the built in audio jack crapped out and I needed to replace it, unfortunately they now only stock the 2.0 version of the shield which is supposed to be programmed and used identically, with some other completely unrelated, irrelevant features you can choose to use.
The EasyVR Commander WILL NOT upload the new sound table to the shield no matter what I try. Once again it says it is programmed identically and works with all the same versions of software. Then if I throw on the old broken board to test, it uploads perfectly, just with no audio…. So it appears to me, that this new 2.0 has a faulty boot loader for the custom sound tables.
I have experience in C, C++, Python, AVR and Arduino, and I honestly am stumped. I do not have the time or the money to get yet another board, and this to the best of my knowledge is broken out of the box. Done the usual crap, reinstalled all associated programs, rebooted several times, different arduinos, different cables, different ports in the computer, nothing at all changes anything….
Please help? :)
Note to All: common problem solved -> this unit would aquire the trigger voice recognition, but would 'error' on all the group learning commands. A comment from someone somewhere pointed out that the microphone has to be fixed into something rigid to function. four hours lost on trying to make this unit recognize my commands, and after mounting the micro into a hard servo bracket, recognition 9 out of ten times or better. hope this saves someone both time and trouble. -Garry
DO NOT BUY IF YOU HAVE A MAC!!! The commander is not compatible for macs os.
why headphone jack is provided to easyvr? whether it plays recorded voices or text to speech? if it plays text to speech, how much text it can load for a single command. for example if we give command "hi robot" , can it speaks text what ever we provided?
Is there any way at all to expand the shield's vocabulary?
Does the software work on computers running Linux or Mac? I hate windows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
try downloading it and see.
You hate windows, that is soooooo sad :(
Sad??? What is sad is that so many people use Microsoft products… the company who secretly/willingly deals with the NSA, makes crap software, and slows down the open source ideals that Linux supports!!!
Although Apple does not support open source at least they make good software and hardware products that work well and look good!
I didn't want to get in a argument, and i didn't mean to offend you.
Although Apple does not support open source…
That said, let's not let this conversation devolve into an troll battle, please.
Try this link:
Hope it helps!
I'm with you on that, and no apparently it doesn't. Bummer.

DAY 1: Depart the U.S. for Istanbul, Turkey
Depart the United States early this evening on your flight bound for Istanbul.
DAY 2: Arrive Istanbul
After arriving in Istanbul, you'll meet your Odysseys Unlimited Tour Director and transfer to your hotel, located near Taksim Square, the heart of modern Istanbul. Please note that as guests' arrival times may vary greatly (from morning to late afternoon), no group activities or meals have been planned for this day. We are free to explore the bustling area around Taksim Square or simply relax after our overseas flights. Dinner tonight is on your own.
Accommodations: Central Palace Hotel
DAY 3: Istanbul
It's our first full day in Istanbul, and there's much on the agenda, beginning with an informative briefing about our journey ahead. This legendary city, divided by the Bosphorus, separates Europe from Asia, and makes this a place where East and West meet in a fascinating melding of cultures. On this morning's tour we encounter the vast Grand Bazaar, one of the world's largest covered markets with some 4,000 shops and stalls selling goods of all kinds, including jewelry, pottery, leather, and Turkish delicacies. After leaving the Grand Bazaar, we walk along Istanbul's side streets through local Turkish markets, ending at the Spice Market, with its exotic spices, nuts, and dried fruits from around the world.
Next we cruise on the Bosphorus Strait, the waterway that separates Europe from Asia. We stop in the village of Ortakoy, known for its trendy art scene, cafés, and boutiques as well as its historic mosque and synagogue. There's time to explore and have lunch on your own here before we return to our hotel mid-afternoon. This evening we take a short walk to a local restaurant where we dine on traditional Turkish cuisine during our welcome dinner.
Accommodations: Central Palace Hotel
Meals: Breakfast, Dinner
DAY 4: Istanbul
This morning we cross over Galata Bridge, which spans the Golden Horn, and tour Old Istanbul, home of splendid mosques and magnificent palaces. Our first stop here: the ancient Hippodrome, where chariot races once took place. Then we visit the renowned Museum of Turkish & Islamic Art housing artifacts from the Ottoman (14th to 20th centuries), Seljuk (11th to 13th centuries), and earlier periods beginning in the 8th century. In the restored Palace of Ibrahim Pasha, the museum displays both everyday items and ancient pieces of art including carvings of wood, glass, and stone. We continue on to the marvelous Blue Mosque, topped by six slender minarets. Inside is one of the world's great collections of blue Isnik tiles (20,000 of them), along with 260 stained glass windows. Next we visit famed Hagia Sophia, which was the world's grandest Cathedral when it was built in 537 CE; it was converted into a mosque in the 15th century and is now a museum.
We enjoy lunch together at a local restaurant in the old town and dine on traditional Turkish fare. Then we tour splendid Topkapi Palace, dramatically set on a promontory with remarkable views over the Bosphorus. This vast palace, the home of Ottoman sultans, once housed as many as 4,000 royals, couturiers, and hangers-on. Among other magnificent artifacts on display here we see priceless paintings, jewel-encrusted swords, and delicate porcelains. The remainder of the afternoon and evening is at leisure; tonight you have your choice of many excellent restaurants for dinner on your own.
Accommodations: Central Palace Hotel
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch
DAY 5: Istanbul/Gallipoli/Troy/Assos
We rise early to begin our full day of travel to the northern Aegean Coast for a brief visit of Gallipoli, where in 1915 Allied troops faced the Turkish army led by Lieutenant-Colonel Mustafa Kemal, also known as Ataturk, the man who later became the leader of modern Turkey. Large numbers of casualties were suffered here, and we pay our respects to those who gave their lives as we visit ANZAC Beach Cemetery. Then we travel across the Straits of the Dardanelles to Troy, once believed to have existed only in Homer's epic poem. But Heinrich Schliemann discovered the real Troy in the 1870s; indeed excavations have revealed the remnants of at least nine civilizations here dating back 5,000 years. After an exploration of the ruins and relics here, we continue on to Behramkale, ancient Assos, where we spend the night.
Please note: Because of the Nazlihan Hotel's small rooms and limited space, and in addition to your one piece of checked luggage, you will need to bring a smaller, soft-sided "carry" bag for your overnight stay in Assos. This additional bag should be small and flexible enough to fit inside your checked luggage.
Accommodations: Nazlihan Hotel
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
DAY 6: Assos/Pergamum/Izmir
This morning we depart for Pergamum, once one of the richest small kingdoms in Asia Minor, which housed one of the world's largest collections of books. Here we visit the magnificent Acropolis, which contains the ruins of Pergamum's acclaimed 200,000-volume library, so large it challenged the world's greatest library in Alexandria, Egypt. In fact, the Egyptians were so afraid that Pergamum would attract scholars away from Alexandria that they cut off the area's supply of papyrus, forcing the invention of pergamen (Latin for parchment), made from animal hides rather than papyrus reed. Along with the library, the Acropolis also boasts a great theater seating 10,000 and the marble-columned Temple of Trajan. Below the theater lie the ruins of the Temple of Dionysus along with the Altar of Zeus, in a marvelous setting shaded by evergreen trees. Much of Pergamum has been lovingly restored; it is now considered one of the premier ancient sites in Turkey. After enjoying our lunch in a typical Turkish kebab restaurant, we continue on to Asclepieum, a sanctuary and healing center built in the 4th century BCE in the name of Ascelepius, god of healing. Later this afternoon we travel to Izmir and our hotel, where we dine together tonight.
Accommodations: Swissôtel Grand Efes
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
DAY 7: Izmir/Ephesus
Today we visit Ephesus, perhaps the world's best-preserved ancient city. In Roman times, Ephesus was the provincial capital of Asia, with a population of 250,000 at the height of its glory. An important Christian community arose here, and Ephesus was visited by St. Paul, who later wrote one of his epistles to the Ephesians. Perhaps its greatest claim to fame is the fact that Ephesus once housed the Temple of Diana, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Today the magnificently preserved ruins attract visitors from across the globe. A full day of touring here includes the immense theater that holds 24,000 people and is still used today. We'll walk along the Sacred Way, where the rich once lived and where an ingenious water and sewer system was constructed beneath paving stones of marble; see the Temple of Hadrian, a Corinthian-style building with the head of Medusa on the porch to keep away evil spirits; and admire the Library of Celsus, which once held 12,000 ancient scrolls. Before enjoying lunch in the beautiful rustic village of Sirince, we'll visit the Ephesus Archaeological Museum, filled with statuary, ancient relics, mosaics, and artifacts excavated from the site. We return to Izmir late this afternoon and enjoy an evening at leisure. From our well-located hotel, we have our choice of several local restaurants all within a short walking distance.
Accommodations: Swissôtel Grand Efes
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch
DAY 8: Izmir/Göcek
Today we continue our journey south, stopping along the way to see a demonstration of the ancient art of carpet weaving at a local factory. Then we'll stop in a local village for lunch before we continue on to Göcek, arriving late this afternoon in the serene port town set at the most inland point of the Gulf of Fethiye. Here we board our 14-guest gulet, a replica of a traditional Turkish fishing boat. Today's gulets are built with modern comforts in mind, containing small but cozy cabins with private bath and shower, public areas, and broad decks in an area approximately 85 feet long and 21 feet wide. Beautiful craftsmanship combined with ancient artistry makes the gulet the perfect vessel in which to cruise the waters of the Turquoise Coast. After settling in to your cabin, you'll enjoy your first dinner on board, prepared by the ship's crew with fresh local ingredients. Tonight you may wish to join others sleeping on deck under the stars.
Accommodations: Gulet yacht
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
DAY 9: Cruising – Aga Limani/Cleopatra Baths
Our route for the next few days is along the coastline that Mark Antony is said to have given Cleopatra as a wedding gift. Named for the brilliant color of its waters, the Turquoise Coast is nature's gift to all those who travel here. The swimming is glorious, in crystal clear waters that afford views into the depths. With the scent of eucalyptus perfuming the air, and forested mountains as our backdrop, we begin our "Blue Voyage" by traveling this morning to the hidden cove of Aga Limani where an optional hike of approximately three hours along an herb-scented trail brings us to Lydea, a little-known Greco-Roman site. The hike concludes at the Sunken Baths of Cleopatra, built in a breathtaking inlet by Mark Antony for the last Egyptian pharaoh. Please note that parts of this hike can be strenuous, and the trail has a fair amount of gravel and rock. Please consult with your tour director if you have concerns about your ability to participate safely on this hike. If you prefer a less strenuous day, you can choose to stay on board the gulet as it sails to the Sunken Baths to meet up with the hikers. There's plenty on board with which to keep occupied, including games, cards, or simply chatting with your fellow guests.
Accommodations: Gulet yacht
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
DAY 10: Cruising – Dalyan River
This morning we disembark and drive to Dalyan, an environmentally protected area where we board a small skiff for a trip through an intriguing maze of channels. At the Lake of Koycegiz, we see our first Lycian rock tombs. These relics, which stretched along the Mediterranean coast from Koycegiz in the West to Antalya in the East, are the few remaining artifacts of this great culture. After lunch in a local restaurant, we drive to our gulet in Fethiye Bay where we anchor for the night.
Accommodations: Gulet yacht
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
DAY 11: Cruising – Gemiler/Kayakoy
Today we sail to our next anchorage, Gemiler Island, where we disembark for a tour of the 6th-century Byzantine monastery here. After lunch on board, we disembark and drive to the Greek "ghost town" of Kayakoy, deserted after World War I and the Turkish War of Independence. Residents abandoned approximately 2,000 stone houses that are now restored and preserved as a historical monument. We'll explore the town and its two churches, which still retain some of their painted decoration and mosaic floors. Later we return to our gulet and remain anchored in Gemiler tonight, our last night on board.
Accommodations: Gulet yacht
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
DAY 12: Cruising – Fethiye/Demre/Myra/Antalya
This morning we sail to Fethiye, where we disembark, bid farewell to our gulet crew, and board a motorcoach for the long drive to Antalya. Along the way we stop in Demre to tour the ancient site of Myra, with an extremely well preserved Roman theater and striking Lycian tombs (including one topped with a dramatic deathbed scene). As a point of interest, Demre is where the legend of Father Christmas ("Noel Baba" in Turkish) is said to have originated with a Christian bishop who gave dowries to penniless girls. The bishop became known as St. Nicholas. We also visit Demre's 12th-century Church of St. Nicholas, whose last major renovations in 1862 were sponsored by Czar Nicholas I of Russia. After lunch here we continue our drive to Antalya along the beautiful Turquoise Coast. Late this afternoon we reach our hotel, splendidly situated overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. We enjoy dinner together at the hotel.
Accommodations: Rixos Antalya Downtown
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
DAY 13: Antalya
This morning we take a walking orientation tour of Antalya, where we see the resort city's Old Town, the extravagantly carved Hadrian's Gate, and the lovely Yivli ("fluted") Minaret. Then we board a coach for the ride to Antalya's Archaeological Museum, which chronicles the history of the area through a wealth of ancient artifacts discovered locally. Of special interest here is the "God Gallery" housing statues of 15 gods from Aphrodite to Zeus. We return to our hotel in time for lunch on your own. The remainder of the day is at leisure; you may wish to indulge in an authentic Turkish bath! Dinner tonight will be on your own.
Accommodations: Rixos Antalya Downtown
Meals: Breakfast
DAY 14: Antalya/Perge/Aspendos
This morning we set off for a tour of the once-thriving Roman city of Perge, which reached its pinnacle during the era of Alexander the Great. Among the outstanding ruins here are the ancient shopping arcade, the awe-inspiring 12,000-seat stadium, and a 15,000-seat theater. Then we move on to Aspendos, whose huge theater is considered one of the best preserved in all of antiquity. We return to Antalya in time for lunch on your own and an afternoon at leisure before we gather for a farewell dinner at a local Turkish restaurant.
Accommodations: Rixos Antalya Downtown
Meals: Breakfast, Dinner
DAY 15: Return to U.S.
If you are returning today to the United States, you will transfer early this morning to the airport for your connecting flight to the U.S. If you are joining the optional extension to Cappadocia and Ankara, please see the next page.

Guests who are joining our optional extension to Cappadocia and Ankara will have a full-day motorcoach transfer via historic Konya, where we'll stop for a visit to the Mevlana Museum, home of Turkey's renowned Whirling Dervishes – a mystic order whose members dance wildly to free themselves from earthly bondage. We'll have lunch here before continuing on to Cappadocia in central Turkey. Renowned for its awe-inspiring natural rock formations – which were utilized for everything from housing to churches and even complete underground villages – Cappadocia is as magical today as it was when early farmers discovered the fertile powers of the volcanic ash that covered the area thousands of years ago. Cappadocia became a haven for the first Christians, who ultimately carved more than 3,000 churches in the porous rock, painting many of them inside with splendidly preserved scenes from the Old Testament. We reach Cappadocia late this afternoon, and enjoy a buffet dinner this evening at the hotel.
Accommodations: Uchisar Kaya Hotel
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Post Tour DAYS 16 & 17: Cappadocia
For the next two days, we'll explore more of this unique region. We tour the rock churches of the Goreme Valley, including the open-air museum with 8th-century murals; and the refuge of Kaymakli, which was constructed over a period of centuries and provided a safe haven for Turks during times of war and conflict. A maze of tunnels reaching four stories deep, this underground city held as many as 3,000 people who were able to breathe thanks to a ventilation system that allowed fresh air into the complex structure. We also visit the vast Zelve Valley complex of caves laced with dwellings, churches, and public spaces where villagers lived until just 50 years ago; and marvel at the fairy tale chimneys at Pasabag; and the troglodyte villages of Cavusin and Uchisar.
During a stop in the charming town of Avanos we watch local craftspeople as they practice their arts, which include fashioning beautiful hand-colored pottery; and weaving rugs of natural colored wool, a regional specialty that has been perfected by the Turks over many hundreds of years and continues to be passed down from generation to generation. We dine both evenings at the hotel.
For those who wish, an optional early morning balloon ride is available on Day 17 (at additional cost). The ride offers an unparalleled view of the lunar-like landscape and may be reserved on-site during your stay. At the time of printing, the cost of the balloon ride is approximately $225 per person.
Accommodations: Uchisar Kaya Hotel
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Post Tour DAY 18: Transfer to Ankara
This morning we board a motorcoach for the half-day transfer to Ankara, Turkey's capital. Upon arrival we visit the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations, where we will gain insights into Turkey's fascinating past. One of the exhibits dates back to the earliest known human community, and takes us through civilizations that include the Urartu, Hattie, Hittite, Phrygian, and Assyrian. The building itself dates from the 15th century, and is a restored covered market. As we tour the museum, we will bring together all we have learned about Turkey and its people during our 2 1/2 weeks of traveling. Tonight we gather one last time for a farewell dinner at the hotel.
Accommodations: Ankara Hilton
Meals: Breakfast, Dinner
Post Tour DAY 19: Depart Ankara for the U.S.
Early this morning, you'll transfer to the airport for your connecting flight to the United States.
Meals: Breakfast

Ho'okena's Nani Mau Loa - Everlasting Beauty
Six years after Ho'okena's GRAMMY®-nominated Cool Elevation release, Manu Boyd, Horace Dudoit, Chris Kamaka and Glen Smith are on the verge of launching their 10th recording in 23 years together. This, by many measures, is their best to-date.
Nani Mau Loa – Everlasting Beauty is inspired by a new song about commitment and lasting love, but reaches much farther in expressing Ho'okena's commitment to the everlasting beauty of Hawai'i nei.
Ho'okena is a rare example of long-term commitment to Hawaiian music. While raising families, advancing careers, leading communities, traveling the world and experiencing life's many blessings, Manu, Horace, Glen and Chris remain as a staple in Hawaiian contemporary music bridging the 20th and 21st centuries while delving into their history, heritage and mana that goes back much, much further.

As you listen to this body of work, you will find so many gems and understand why Sean Na'auao is richly deserving of all the Na Hoku Hanohano awards he's won over the years.

I really enjoyed the majority of Michelinie's run. Sure he had a flop or two here and there (what writer doesn't after so many years on a title?) but I just enjoy the heck out of reading his stuff. It was fun and a blast to read. I'd gladly buy another of his Spidey or Venom stories if they should ask him to come back. And for those of you thinking "Gosh that 'Round Robin' story sucks!", it was actually written by Al Milgrom. I can't tell you how many people think Michelinie did that story and hold him and his run to that particular story.
His Venom and Carnage stories were the best, and I don't think either character flourished as well under any other writer; I also loved his Acts of Vengeance/Captain Universe Spidey, his Sinister Six story was great, I enjoyed his Dr.Doom/Black Fox two-parter, His Spider-Slayer story was fun, and I thought he had a real talent for using classic villains and revitalizing them, too (Chameleon, Rhino, Scorpion, etc). And the guy created some really memorable characters; some more so than others, but most of them are still being used today in some capacity: Venom, Carnage, Chance, Solo, Cardiac, the Tri-Sentinel, etc.
In fact, I feel Michelinie's run was one of the last good classic runs on Amazing Spider-Man.
And no, I read the rules about being able to have Ditko/Lee and Lee by himself. I just chose not to add Lee by himself.
And color me surprised when someone leaves off Gerry Conway or Marv Wolfman. I loved the hell out of Conway's run (Clone Saga, Death of Gwen Stacy, Punisher, etc), and from what I've read of Wolfman's run thus far (don't worry, I'll read 'em all sometime soon), it was fantastic (especially his Mysterio/Burglar story); plus, Wolfman gave us Black Cat. If that doesn't warrant him a top spot, I don't know what does.

Philip Reid, an enslaved skilled craftsman who worked at the Bladensburg Foundry, a bronze foundry in Maryland, on the outskirts of what is now Washington, D.C., is credited with finishing the massive undertaking that would result in the display of the statue of Freedom on top of the Capital building.
The story of the statue of Freedom began in 1855 when Thomas Crawford, an American sculptor, was commissioned to design the statue of Freedom. He first created a model in clay in a studio in Rome, Italy, then made a full-sized plaster model cast in five major sections. The plan was to crate the sections, ship them to the United States and cast them in bronze for erection atop the Dome of the United States Capitol, however, in 1857, he died before the model left his studio.
In April, 1858, the model left Rome in six crates aboard the small sailing vessel, the Emily Taylor. During the voyage, the ship began to leak, stopping in Gibraltar for repairs. While crossing the Atlantic, the ship began to leak again. It made it to Bermuda and was condemned. The crates were stored until other transportation could be arranged. Half of the crates finally arrived in New York in December, but all sections were not in Washington until late March of 1859.
The federal government had awarded the foundry a contract to cast the plaster model in bronze and the work began in May, 1860. Work was halted in 1861 due to the Civil War, but by the end of 1862, the statue was finished and temporarily displayed on the Capitol grounds.
An Italian craftsman assembled the huge plaster model of Freedom for all to see while the Capitol dome moved toward completion. This craftsman, however, in an attempt to get more money, he refused to reveal how to take the model apart for transport to the bronze foundry and finish the job.
Philip Reid was called upon to figure out how to disassemble the sculpture into its five large sections without breaking the fragile plaster.
The delicate white plaster model stood 19 feet six inches in height. Its points of separation were hidden by a thin layer of plaster, just like icing can hide the layers of a cake. Reid reasoned that an upward force could be applied to the statue using a block and tackle. As repeated tugs on the model began to strain the plaster, hairline cracks would appear at a point where the top section of the statue was attached to the rest of the sections below. Reid directed workers to carefully pull the ropes and his theory proved correct. Unfastening the top section from the mass below and then lifting it away exposed the hollow interior and the other three points of separation. Finally, five plaster sections sat separately on the floor.
Reid supervised the remaining casting of the statue in five sections, each weighing over a ton (the statue weight over 15,000 pounds in total). The tons of Freedom were moved by wagons from Bladensburg, Maryland to Washington. Reid and other slaves put the Statue of Freedom together on the grounds of the Capitol in a month during the spring of 1863. The cost of the statue, exclusive of installation, was $23,796.82.
Late in 1863, construction of the dome was sufficiently advanced for the installation of the statue, which was hoisted in sections and assembled atop the cast-iron pedestal. On December 2, 1863, the final section (the head and shoulders), was put in place on top of the Capitol dome to a salute of 35 guns answered by the guns of the 12 forts around Washington.
Reid was one of the last of hundreds of slaves involved in the building of the Capitol between 1790 and 1863. Slaves and freed men worked in the quarries of Virginia, digging and transporting the stone that became the beautiful building that stands today. At the building site, they performed the truly backbreaking work required to place the cut stones on the walls of the Capitol building. They dug trenches and ditches, hauled lumber and performed other tasks requiring great strength and stamina. Shortly after the statue of Freedom was positioned, President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, abolishing slavery.

Austin Stone became the third Fork Union player to commit with a Division I program Thursday when the senior receiver agreed to join Eastern Michigan.
He joins Christian Hackenberg (Penn State) and Malcolm Cook (Virginia) as Blue Devils who have made their decisions known in recent months.
Stone played in three games in 2011 and caught 18 passes for 195 yards. He chose the Eagles over other offers from VMI, Richmond and Ohio.
"They're turning around the program right now and I felt like me going there could help turn it around even more and we can become better as a team," Stone explained.
Stone says EMU coach Ron English and his staff noticed Stone in camps at Ohio State and Pittsburgh.
"It's always been my dream to play D-1 football and it's going to come true. My number one goal growing up was to never let my parents pay for college. So that's what I've been doing, just been grinding and playing football," he added.

text: I am installing a new drop-in type tub with a side drain. The tub edge is 3-1/2" wide and 1-1/2" high with a wall thickness of approximately 3/16" - 5/16". I am mounting the tub filler and handles on the tub edge rather than on the tile deck. I already cut the holes in the tub for the valve assembly and was all set to sweat everything to the supply when I realized I hadn't considered the overflow drain assembly. I don't have enough clearance for both the valve and the overflow. Is there a super-low-profile overflow assembly available? Can I do without the overflow? I know it's not a good idea but it seems the simplest solution. If I can do without it how do I close it off? So far, this has been the only chink in the armour...and it's a doozie.

Reviews for Cheese Tortellini with Tomatoes and Corn(23)
Sort By :
Delicious and fresh tasting! We really enjoy this easy meal.
My family loves this recipe. I always use fresh corn and put it on the grill until I get some nice grill marks. Then I cut it off the cob and add it to the other ingredients. It's become a summer favorite.
Summer fresh and very delicious!
Yummy! And, you know something...the Bertolli dry tortellini (found in the dry pasta section at your grocery store) is really delicious, especially with the spinach in it. I like it better than the refrigerated cheese tortellini. I think the quality of pasta used in this dish makes the difference. Fresh corn is the best, and even sometimes just making it a day in advance and letting the flavors blend overnight make a difference.
I followed another reviewer's advice and sauteed (for about 5 minutes), fresh corn in olive oil with some minced fresh garlic. I cooled everything down before putting together. It did call for some extra salt and pepper, but is a really great dish.

AUSTIN -- It is expected to be a busy day for Austin City Council members as their first meeting of 2013 gets underway.
"The closest comparison is Car2Go. It basically works the same way. You have a membership card you pay an annual fee for. There are kiosks that will hold the bikes," explained Bike Share of Austin Director Craig Staley.
The bike share program is a public-private partnership that won't cost Austin anything. The non-profit organization will raise $500,000 and the federal government puts in $1.5 million. The bikes will be available in downtown and East Austin by late summer or early fall.
Or if you prefer to let someone else do the peddling, you can ride in ease. The council passed an ordinance requiring pedicabs to have a third party inspection -- an effort to keep Austin roads safe.

Reflecting strong global interest, Welcome Sauer, executive vice president of business development at Gebbers Farms, Brewster, Wash., said Washington apple exhibitors were up in size at Fresh Summit 2012.
"We see the apple category being a real destination for a lot of international people and domestic retailers as the worldwide apple supply has been tighter this year," he said.
Fresh Summit 2013 will be in New Orleans, Oct. 18-20.
