Hello ladies,
I'm not sure this is the right place, but I just want to share this with you all.
Last November I was at the International Quilt Festival in Houston, and that's where I met a lovely Dutch lady. She -Jacqueline de Jonge/Becolourful- is a quilt designer, and makes really stunning quilts. They are so colorful and bright. I instantly fall in love with her designs. It's paper pieced, and so perfectly done. She has a great pattern line, with all kind of difficulties, she even made an instruction DVD, that shows you how to make a Becolourful quilt.
I think this lovely lady deserves a little attention from us American quilters :)
Wow, you are right. I googled her name and so many beautiful quilts! I see where she has been on Ricky Timm;s show.
I will have to check out more what she has to offer.
Chiliwist Valley
She does make some gorgeous quilts!!! Love them! For others interested in her this is her website
Here is a link to a page with her gorgeous designs. There is also links available on her page where you can find her patterns. The quilts are stunning.
Vinton, Virginia
I visited her website of course, and there was also a link to her Facebookpage (becolourfulquilts), which is also very inspiring :)
i've seen her work and love her use of color

Hi Bridget, it is nice to meet you. You are correct, her quilts are beautiful. Thanks for the info.
Life is like a quilt...bits & pieces, joy & sorrow, stitched with love

Best City Management Game on iPad
It is far from perfect, but of the bunches of city management apps I've tried, this is the best. Others (I've seen) are just too simplistic. What I've not been able to discover is how to build a bridge to span a river. This is a real problem if a river cuts through the middle of your map.
Cities tend to always have demand for industry and without a casino, which is offered after many years (if you allow gambling ordinance I think), I've always have trouble achieving a stable economy. Also, cities always seem to have high demand for industry and low, if any demand, for commercial. This is even when I put lots of green ordinances into place. If not careful, you can end up with an industrial mess on your hands. ; )
Btw, reading some of the gripes posted, water pumps only work at fresh water sources. The river may not count. I have always found lakes to be the best consistent source for water. And just because city advisors complain about water, this usually first happens as a heads up that you are nearing capacity. You don't have to add water sources until the no-water icons start popping up on map.
Also be careful with your choices because the game has limited "save" ability. It appears impossible to regress in most of my experience to than anything other than the beginning of a particular game. Ps, I am a desktop veteran for this game, but not an expert. : )
Crash-fest: Don't waste your time.
I've been a huge Simcity fan since the very early days in the late 90s. Finally getting a version for my iPad was great news. Too bad EA have not followed through and made the game stable enough to play for more than a few minutes at a time without crashing. I already have around 4 or 5 reliable ways to crash the game already and I have played the game no more than about 45 mins total, probably not more than 10 mins max without it crashing. Its especially unpromising when one reliable way to crash the app and loose your gameplay is trying to save your work. I would demand my money back if I thought for a moment I would not have to expend hours trying to get it back.
Folks, there is reason a complex game like this is only 99 cents at present, its because its a soul destroying pile of crashing junk. EA likely knows it and wants to avoid the backlash that charging $9.99 would bring. EA are late to the mobile games party, bringing crap like this to the party only makes the situation worse because I won't waste time looking at other EA titles, and neither should you. You maybe a fan of Simcity on the PC or Mac, but this will leave you irritated and frustrated. Do yourseves a favor and run from this one, don't walk,Tic-tac-toe or the iPad Lockscreen would be a more satisfying game experience than this. I want to give it zero stars for a rating but Apple are forcing me to be excessively generous and give it one star.
sim city is O.K.
this is an average game but the best city management game ever! I was struggling at first, but I got the hang of it by day 2. I suggest for starter to play the starter tour and on easy until you get the hang of it. Average cost but worth it all!
Here are some tips 2 get you started,
1 if the game does crash often, (like some1 else said) you should go on to airplane mode and then try it.
2 i heard in another review that that person asked how to span bridges across the river of the map, well you CANT! you have to make another city on the other side of the river and then add airports/seaports on each side of the river to allow travel and trading.
3 when your sims demand more zones, you should use every single square possible and not waste any land.
4 when pollution gets bad, you should take every step to stop it, even if it costs a lot.
5 sims don't demand a lot of commercial zone, so you should use the space for other things. I once went for 10 days without any commercial zone.
6 once your city get bigger, sims will allow more ways to get different things, so be patent.
7 there is no #7.

There is an increasing awareness of the need to act on the world's impending water challenge. Growing global resource use highlights the complex interdependencies between water and energy, agriculture, industry, urban growth and ecosystems. The challenge is compounded by climate change, which will lead to both water scarcity and unpredictable water-related shocks.
Governments and business need to prepare for long term water scarcity and for short-term shocks. They also need to consider the disruptive impacts of, and consequent political repercussions from, major water stress or shock on the world's interconnected production, trade, and economic systems. Key issues that will be addressed include:

I know they will have a lot of financial decisions to make in the next few years. One of the ways the city can save money is to lease the Cane Creek Golf Course to a golf management company. Maybe by leasing Cane Creek, the city will be able to keep Anniston Municipal open for many years to come.

One of the two men killed in a daylight shooting at a Burnaby, B.C., hotel Monday is suspected gang member Suhk Dhak, whose brother was also killed in a targeted shooting in 2010.
CBC News has learned Dhak and a man believed to be his associate were gunned down Monday at the Executive Hotel and Conference Centre at Lougheed Highway and Gilmore Avenue in Burnaby, B.C., just before noon.
Dhak's brother, Gurmit Dhak, was shot and killed outside the Metrotown mall in Burnaby in October 2010.
On Monday, the body of a tattooed man could be seen slumped outside the front doors of the hotel, surrounded by shattered glass from the doors and windows of the hotel lobby.
A second body appeared to be lying just inside the lobby of the hotel.
Police, who are trying to piece together what happened, are calling the shooting "brazen" and "cold," saying it was traumatizing for hotel staff.
It's not yet clear whether the shooting happened outside the hotel or whether the men were shot through the glass.

316 N Santa Cruz Ave, Los Gatos, CA | Directions 9503037.227695 -121.981410
Daily, 11am - 10pm
A Downtown Los Gatos Favorite – I was surprised to see the negative reviews and felt the need to submit my first ever restaurant review to defend this wonderful place. The atmosphere is casual and festive; the food is consistently great; and even the house margaritas are very tasty, and actually contain recognizable amounts of tequila, unlike margaritas can be at other Mexican restaurants. It's actually the only Mexican restaurant where I will order the house margarita! We've been going to Pedros on a regular basis for years, and I even had my husband's surprise 30th birthday party there, with friends and family waiting in the somewhat-sectioned-off back room. We visit often with family and groups of friends. Family favorites include Salmon de Morelia, Mole Rojo and Grilled Veggie Burrito. I highly recommend this place for a casual date, a gathering of friends, or a family dinner out.
Horrible Service! – We have tried this restaurant three different times. The first time it was a busy Sat. night and we had slow service and had to hunt down our server to get the check. The second time was a week night (read: not busy), we were seated by a girl who took our drink order, brought the wrong drinks then we never saw her again. Our server, male, took our dinner order and said he would fix the drinks, and then forgot until he brought our food. Our third visit was the final straw. We told our server (same one as 2nd visit) we wanted our check, proceeded to watch him take three orders and bring out drinks to all three tables, then SERVE THEIR FOOD!!! before I got up to tell him to bring the check --he would take off in the opposite direction of our table before we could catch his eye. The worst: we asked to speak to the manager about the poor service and she never came to the front to talk to us after at least five minutes of waiting...will never, ever go back!
Great Food, decor, and atmosphere. – My wife and I eat here often. Great food, decor, and atmosphere. THere is a nice little bar with lots of easily accesible chips to munch on while you are waiting for a table. Best seats in the house are in the covered terrace facing the main street.
The good reviews are kidding, right? – We waited close to an hour (started at '20 minute wait') for this 'upscale' mexican cuisine, and let's just say I wont be waiting again. The people were friendly, and it was a 'fun' spot (if you like average margaritas flowing, loud drunk people laughing their way through your meal....), but the food was very below par. The steak on the fajitas was way overdone and chewy, and my wife's enchiladas might as well have been from the frozen section at the supermarket.
Standout seafood dishes will cure your burrito blues at this upscale cantina. – The Scene
The Mission-style decor strives for casual elegance and succeeds with a weathered indoor-outdoor feel, complete with tile roofs above the dining areas. Veer left at the hostess station to reach the bar for after-work margaritas, or do lunch with a sidewalk view through large windows set into the colorful stucco walls. Service is attentive and friendly.
The Food
The menu offers a broad range of reliably good Mexican dishes--served with a healthy portion of Mexican cheese, queso fresco--or slightly more refined seafood specialties. Grilled prawns arrive atop a creamy cilantro vinaigrette and are enough for two to share over margaritas before dinner. Move onto Tres Pedros, a spicy, flavorful mix of beef, chicken and cheese enchiladas served with piquant tomatillo sauce. Steak fajitas are a cut above the industry standard, with tender, smoky meat. The fried ice cream, surrounded in gooey caramel, is a sumptuous finale.
Great Place – I went hog-wild here! The people and food were great... install Ping-Pong tables in the bar area:-) I will always return! Service is fantastic!
Fourth Time the Charm – As a resident of Los Gatos for over a decade, I've dined at Pedros on a number of occasions. Each time I left disappointed in the service, the quality of the food or the quantity. I hadn't been since 1999.
Times have changed! Had an enjoyable dinner last night. Tried the Tres Pedros enchilladas and was quite pleased. The enchilladas- cheese, beef and chicken were tasty and the correct portion size. In additon, our basket of chips were never half full.
In addition, the bartender and service staff were great.

Tips on Using Chlorine-Free Paper
What Do We Look for in Chlorine-Free Paper?
DO read the labels of paper supplies carefully. The dioxin problem applies to paper we use at home (toilet paper, napkins, feminine hygiene products, paper towels, etc.) and commercially (copying paper, etc.).
DO look for paper that is unbleached, or not bleached with chlorine. Some companies use hydrogen peroxide for bleaching; this is O.K.
Some products may have a label saying, "processed chlorine free" (PCF) or "totally chlorine free" (TCF). Either is fine.
DON'T buy elementally chlorine-free paper. This process uses a different form of chlorine (chlorine dioxide), but the bleaching process still produces dioxins and organochlorines. Some companies try to mislead consumers by saying elementally chlorine-free paper means chlorine-free, which is not true.
When you select a chlorine-free paper for publishing/printing needs, DO put a note on the paper indicating it is chlorine-free to help raise awareness of the issue.
What are the different types of Chlorine-Free Paper?
There are two different kinds of chlorine-free papers, TCF (uses virgin pulp) and PCF (uses recycled pulp):
Totally Chlorine-Free (TCF) paper designation refers to paper that does not use pulp produced with chlorine or chlorine-containing compounds or bleaching agents.
Processed Chlorine-Free (PCF) paper designation refers to recycled paper. All recycled fibers have not been re-bleached with chlorine-containing compounds. Any virgin fibers are totally chlorine-free, i.e. they have not been bleached with chlorine. This particular paper is made with 100% recycled fibers.
Both kinds of papers have been selected out of our concern for the health of people and the planet, in line with Women's Division and United Methodist Church policies which advocate for the elimination of dioxin, a highly toxic by-product of the chlorine-bleaching process.

amd64 changes
Mega commit to bring RELENG_18 branch in sync with HEAD in preparation for release tagging 18d.
Change most PROCLAIMs to DECLAIMs.
initial post 1.3.7 merge
Werkowskis source kit 1.03.7
Fix headed boilerplate.
Added Alpha support.
Added some declares to get rid of some efficiency notes.
Had the order of arguments wrong in the replacement for sap-ref-32.
Changed all SAP-REF-mumble functions to take the offset in bytes.
Fixed the SAP routines to align the sap to a word boundry before using it.
Fixed the case where we were iterating from the right to the left and we only needed to read one word of the source to compute the rightmost dst word. We were reading two words which made load seg-fault because next src word was on a different page (that wasn't mapped in).
In the unaligned, left-to-right unary copy, had the test to see if we need to load the last src word or not backwards, so we didn't load it when we needed it. (And potentially read one too many words when we didn't need it.)
Rewrote everything to simplity porting to different machines.
New file header with RCS header FILE-COMMENT.
Changed vm:target-byte-order to (c:backend-byte-order c:*backend*).
Added interpreter stubs for 32bit-logical-{not,and,or,xor,nor}.
Fixed the order of args to setf functions.
Removed comments from around 32bit-logical-mumbles.
Added stuff to allow different using different functions for the srcs and dst. Commented out all the bit-bash-mumbles, 'cause the compiler can't deal with 'em yet. Added interpreter stubs for the four copy functions.
Changed to use 32-bit units. Replaced calls to logand, lognot, etc, with special purpose unsigned-byte 32 functions. Replaced merge-bits with a function that gets translated into spiffy code.

I have designed a UI for the iPhone 4S. What will be the application appearance be if I use the same images and UI for the iPhone3? If I run the same application in iPhone3 and iPhone 4S, what will be the outcome?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Graphic Design Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for professional graphic designers and non-designers trying to do their own graphic design. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Nothing should happen. The iphone 4 has a higher pitch screen but doesn't usually effect the number of pixels in an image/UI however I would think using high res UI design would slow down the iPhone 3. the best way to check is design a background image or UI element and see how they look on each iphone.
This is probably more of a problem if you are talking about OS based icons e.g. for the home screen as already mentioned the 4S has a higher resolution screen than the 3 and therefore up-scaling may result in pixelation. If they are code based rather than pixel then its probably again not a problem.
If it does end up a problem targeting device version should be possible.

The easiest avocados to peel and slice are those that are ripe yet firm. (Very ripe, soft avocados are best used for mashing.) Cut the avocado in half lengthwise. Twist the halves in opposite directions to separate. Carefully tap the seed with the blade of a sharp knife. Rotate the knife to loosen the seed and lift it out. To remove the peel, scoop out the flesh from each half with a large metal spoon, staying close to the peel. Slice; dip slices in lemon juice to prevent them from turning brown.

As my bio states, I am a Spanish major...and I love it! If you're considering majoring in a foreign language, here are some helpful tips:
So I urge you to consider a major (or even a minor) in another language. You won't regret it: They're easy to double major with and you'll emerge a better person!

Mike works for an on-campus sports broadcasting company as well as the music news blog PropertyOfZack.com. He also works with several friends to promote concerts and shows in Greensboro, NC. He hopes to use this blogging position to inform and assist others who are seeking the right college or those currently enrolled in college by providing advice on college life, both in general and specific to Wofford.

If you've been in any career development class or seminar, I'm sure you've heard of LinkedIn. It's a fantastic networking tool and, if used properly, can lead to some pretty great opportunities...but you've got to know how to use it and keep it up to date.
What's incredible about LinkedIn is that they know you already have a billion social media sites to keep up with so they give you a quick way to get started on their site by providing options to import contacts from email and social media. You can also import your resume: The site does a fairly good job of sectioning off your resume to fit its profile layout, which is a quick way to establish your presence on the site. (LinkedIn also judges the amount of info you have and advises you on how to have a more 'complete' profile.)
Of course, there's still work that will need to be done and information to be added and changed but that's all easy to do in your own time. If you have an update to your resume, just change your resume on file and LinkedIn will do the rest with another quick upload. (It's not that hard to just add things directly to your profile, either.) The more information you add to your LinkedIn profile, the more marketable you are to future employers.
Also, keep your LinkedIn page classy! Do you have a goofy picture everybody just HAS to see? That's fine...just don't post it here. LinkedIn is a social media platform but approaching it like any other (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) would be a grave mistake. Nothing says "I don't take this seriously" like an unprofessional profile photo.
My final bit of LinkedIn profile advice? Keep it current, keep it interesting, make sure the information is accurate and join groups of similar individuals in your fields of interest to make sure your name is out there in the best light. Get a new job? Update your profile just like you would your resume and your profile will reach new people – employers use LinkedIn for recruiting and you could be exactly what someone is looking for. Gotta love technology!

Recently, the federal government came out with a proposed plan to encourage academic excellence in college and linking it to federal aid.
Linking financial aid to academic performance? Wasn't this already a thing? I mean, really? I completely understand where they're coming from – I can't slip below a 3.0 or I risk losing scholarships – and would have thought the federal government would be on a similar page. OK, so maybe that's a bit harsh and I'm not saying that the minimum GPA would have to be a 3.0 but having some minimums on grading is something I fully support the federal government doing. I mean, if they view college students as the future, then they are investing in America's future...and they're probably going to want to emerge at the other end having viewed that investment as a smart idea. I know I've seen my fair share of people getting by without incentive to succeed but if your money and future were on the line, you'd see drastically different outcomes. And in the long run, I think we'd appreciate it: Better grades = better GPA = better skills = better jobs. (Or at least in simple terms, that's how it would go.)
There is, however, the other side of the argument: In the same way that I believe high schools are pushed to be teaching to a test and not to the things we really need to learn (let alone the fact that ALL PEOPLE learn differently but standardized testing pushes a one-way system), I believe a federal system for weighing academic merit could descend into standardized tests for college professors. To be able to hold all college students to federal standards, the government would have to, right? THAT I cannot agree with.
The proposed plan also proposes a heavier focus on online classes. You can read my previous post about online textbooks but would a federal push for online classes devalue the classroom? All I know is that I'd need more details before they could sell me on some of this. But allocating more money to those doing well in school and less or none to those who don't take it seriously or do well? I can see that. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying a 2.5 GPA or anything like that, but if you have a 0.5 and you are receiving federal aid, that's a problem.
What do you think about the proposed federal plan?

I took AP Statistics in high school and I attend Wofford College full-time during the traditional school year. This summer, however, I've been taking statistics at UNCG...so what gives? Well, Wofford would only accept AP scores of 4 or higher and I received a 3 and after my late declaration of comp-sci as a major, I figured out that I actually need it. So off to summer school I went – at a university I wasn't familiar with and with professors I didn't know and students who were strangers, no less – but I'm actually thrilled that I had the opportunity to study at another institution, albeit only for a summer course.
UNCG was beautiful and way different than Wofford. And the class was organized, taught and tested on completely differently. The textbook was all online – something I'd never experienced at my main college – but I loved it: All of the resources, tables and info were in one place and there was great statistical software built right in! But having it all online meant that the class was entirely learn-for-yourself, at your own pace, in your own time (which I had NONE of). It was different but I appreciated the class and continuing my coursework over the summer actually kept me grounded and on top of things I was involved with. Even a) planning a two-day music festival with friends b) working a full-time management position at my pool and c) applying for another internship (stay tuned for another post) didn't keep me from passing!
It was rough with the mix of everything else I was involved with but my experience in the class itself was pretty positive. So if you're considering taking classes at another institution during the summer or over break, remember that it won't be bad...it will just be different. It will cause you to form better and varying study habits that will most likely help you in the future and having that structured schedule in the summer will actually help in everything else you're involved with as well. Embrace the opportunity!
July 9, 2013
The summer is a crazy time. For most, it means one thing – work – but it doesn't have to: Aside from internships and summer classes, there are many ways to keep up with the things you are interested in over the summer.
The point to take from all of this? Don't waste your summer. There is always something you can be doing to better your resume, your passion, your focus, your knowledge or your wallet. Don't let opportunities slip away and don't let summer pass you by – it's short enough as it is!

So it's about that time (at least in my semester) for the first slew of college tests and essays...and time for stress! But don't let it get you down - here are some tips I like to consider when I feel overwhelmed in my studies:
Remember, this won't be your last college exam, there will be room for improvement and it's a learning experience either way. Good luck and feel free to use these tips for all tests and essays, not just the first one!

Online and digital textbooks are a growing resource for college students. They can be cheap, interactive, fun and sometimes more useful than their traditional predecessors. And now there is a surge of technology for professors to use as well, including ways to digitally check if their students are reading the assigned material.
I personally have only used digital textbooks as accompaniments to hardcover books but the concept of an entirely digital book is enticing. Only having to carry around a tablet or laptop is a great thing for students burdened by long walks across campus with clunky book bags. But when I'm assigned a reading, I assume that the teacher trusts that I'll do it – not that I necessarily have to but because it will benefit me in the long run. I think that checking via software forces students to do something that a good student would already do. And I think that most college students aren't attending college to NOT do their assignments; it's not a cheap investment to just sit around!
Honor codes at most colleges deal with assignments, cheating, etc. The idea is great but its execution comes across a bit untrusting from professors. It may also not be the best way to keep tabs on student learning. For some, this kind of checking could benefit them but students have their own unique study methods and could do poorly on the online checks but still ace tests. Programs like CourseSmart (one of the online data collecting programs) could be useful to chart progress overall but to place grades or too much merit in the technology conveys a message to students that professors don't trust their commitment to coursework. People learn different ways and should be given the opportunity to study, read and work the way that is best for them.
Overall, the idea of digital textbooks is a great one if used properly: as an additional resource and not a primary way of determining student learning. Other resources, quizzes and methods should be used as well to provide a balance in various learning styles. What has your experience with digital textbooks been?
May 21, 2013
Large classes or small? As colleges look to save money per student, this has become a key discussion topic. Recent studies are now showing that redesigning the typical lecture-type lesson has proved successful in large class settings, boasting higher exam results than those on the old model...but I think it really depends on the institution.
I can only speak from experience about Wofford College: The largest class I've ever had had about 50 people in it (and the average class size here is 15), though I will soon find out how large classes work when I take a summer course at UNCG to fulfill a gen ed requirement in statistics. I can guarantee that in terms of building professor connections and having instructors as resources outside the classroom, small classes have the advantage but I could definitely see how this setting could be intimidating and that there could be students that flourish more in large-scale lectures.
Attendance policies also seem to be stricter at smaller schools and in smaller classrooms. In a class of 300, nobody bats an eye if somebody's missing; in a class of 12, however, every absence is noticed. Those who are engaged and active in class will probably benefit more from smaller courses, with more direct contact with the professors. But these assumptions seem to be changing. Like I said, the lecture-style of teaching is being altered at bigger schools and being replaced by interactive and virtual courses supervised by professors or teachers. The computers seem to keep the larger classes focused and have directly contributed to better grades in the sciences and visual arts.
When determining what class size is best for you, the best thing to do is to talk to people that attend your prospective schools. How do they like the large classes? Would they recommend them? Do they take any small classes? Are their learning styles similar to yours? Results don't lie but you know yourself better than a statistic. For me, the small classes at WoCo are where it's at. What about you?
May 3, 2013
Today I'd like to discuss something that I'm positive is constantly on the minds of underclassmen: "What should I major in?" There's pressure from all ends to do something that makes money but your heart wants to do something you are passionate about. What's a college student to do? Aim for something that has potential to do both. For example, I love music, I love promoting bands, I love going to shows and I love being a part of the music scene in any way that I can. My majors, however, are computer science and Spanish. Those majors paired with my interests may not make sense at first but here's how I came to this decision:
There is no right answer to choosing a major and the idea of a "practical" major (as discussed by Haverford College's dean of academic affairs Phillip Bean in his recent post for The Choice) is subjective, based on personal passion, skills and desires. You just need to be able to say, "Even though I love this, I could still study that," and get the best of both worlds. This is also a good reason to do thorough research beforehand on what majors your college offers, though most people change their majors a few times or wait a bit to declare.
How have you decided what to major in and did you take your personal passions into consideration?
February 15, 2013
This week, I'd like to talk about something that your prospective college might have to offer. We at Wofford call it Interim but most schools refer to it as January Term (or "J-term" or "Jan-term"). Colleges, especially those focused on the liberal arts, like to give students the opportunity to explore whatever might pique their interest, regardless of their majors! Wofford's lies between first and second semester and is a month-long class that lets students have fun, relax and dive into a hobby or passion that has yet to be discovered.
Colleges offer classes ranging from photography, hiking, trips within the U.S. and abroad, horseback riding or chess and can get as specific as a class entirely about The Beatles. I'd suggest looking into Interim options early on, especially if you have an idea and a class is not yet offered with that topic. Many colleges will allow you to propose an interim project all your own: Several of my friends developed an app for Android and iPhone this past January!
My favorite Interim class that I've taken in my three years here at WoCo has got to be American Punk, Hardcore and Emo. As I stated in my first post, music is a pretty big deal to me and this class allowed me to take my interest to a whole new level. We learned about the great bands and movements of the punk scene and for a month out of my stressful and hectic college career, I got to study the music I love. There's always the option, however, of taking classes or internships related to your major. My roommates all took internships this past interim – one dentist shadowing and two relating to finance. They loved them and view the experience as invaluable.
So whether it's traveling, music, writing, fishing, the intricacies of pro wrestling or a useful internship, I suggest looking into your school's options and taking full advantage of every opportunity a Jan-term could bring!

The Turbine Hotel and Spa was an ambitious project which transformed the old power station into a boutique hotel on the Garden Route, now with a massive wow-factor. All of the old machinery which was used in this power station has been creatively restored and forms an integral part of the hotel's aesthetics. The Turbine Hotel and Spa offers 17 suites, 6 luxury suites, a honeymoon suite and the self-catering Water Club apartment. Dine at the Tapas Bar, serving delicious light meals for lunch and dinner. Wake up and savour a hearty breakfast at Island Café, also featuring lunch and dinner, as well as a wine cellar. The hotel features three bar areas located in various positions, each with their own unique setting. Relax and enjoy the panoramic views from the pool deck, conveniently equipped with sun loungers. The Amani Spa offers a wide variety of spa treatments for guests wishing to indulge in a rejuvenating spa experience.
Start with a scenic drive to the top of the Heads, dramatic cliffs which overlook the Indian Ocean on your side and the town and lagoon towards the distant Outeniqua Mountains on the other side. Take a 25-minute ferry ride across Knysna's magnificent estuary to a secluded nature reserve, home to a variety of wildlife, Knysna loeries, the blue crane, and one of Africa's smallest antelope, the blue duiker. On arrival, a 4x4 trailer takes you to the summit of the Western Headland for a spectacular panorama view of the Knysna Basin and the sea. After admiring the view, take a gentle walk through a Milkwood forest, into caves and along the coastline back to the restaurant. Enjoy a spectacular lunch in the Food Forest, an outside eating area set amongst the Milkwood trees. The speciality is fish cooked over an open fire. Continue to The Elephant Sanctuary where you will join an hour long trunk in hand experience. This will involve you walking with the elephants through the forest where you will learn about these amazing animals from their habits to their anatomy. The Crags Elephant sanctuary provides a safe haven for six elephants and a platform for guest's education and interaction.
After a spectacular drive over the Outeniqua Mountain Pass, we enter the red semi-desert of the Little Karoo. We start with a short tour of the town and then go on to the Cango Caves for a tour. 29km from Oudtshoorn, at the head of the picturesque Cango Valley, lay the spectacular underground wonder of the Klein Karoo - the Cango Caves. Situated in a limestone ridge parallel to the well known Wartburg Mountains, you will find the finest dripstone caverns, with their vast halls and towering formations. Enjoy a visit to the Cango Wildlife Ranch, endangered species breeding facility extraordinaire. The oldest and biggest cheetah contact centre worldwide offers visitors the rare opportunity of interacting with the hand reared cheetahs and getting actively involved in saving this species and others from extinction. From there we continue to the Safari Ostrich Farm to see one of the world's most peculiar birds. Enjoy a tour of the farm, a traditional ostrich lunch (own cost) and perhaps even an ostrich race. Return back to the hotel late this afternoon
Rosenhof Country House is situated on the outskirts of Oudtshoorn en route to the Cango Caves and Ostrich Farms. The carefully renovated homestead (Circa 1852), with its yellowwood beams and ceilings and a tasteful collection of antique furniture, exudes an aura of authenticity. The lovely rose garden, which gave Rosenhof its name, leads to stylishly decorated bedrooms, each individually furnished. All rooms provide air-conditioning, satellite television, telephone, mini bar and tea trays. The two Executive Suites each have their own pool, lounge and patio, with tranquil views of the Swartberg Mountain.Rosenhof has a cosy pub and several luxury lounges with fireplaces where visitors can relax and admire works from well-known South African artists. In summer, cool down in the pool or take tea in the manicured gardens. The Wellness Center offers a fully equipped gym, Jacuzzi, sauna and a beauty clinic. With its luxurious facilities and excellent service, Rosenhof is recognized as one of the finest establishments in the region.
Enjoy an incredibly scenic drive between Cape Town and Oudtshoorn today. Pass through hills, mountains, and wine regions. Make additional stops along the way at little restaurants, stop for a wine tasting, or drive direct. This drive takes approx. 5-6hrs. Once in Oudtshoorn you'll have the chance to enjoy optional activities or simply relax.
Depart from Cape Town international airport - end of itinerary.

"I am a world traveller and this was one of my Top 3 vacations ever! Kensington Tours did a great job with EVERY little detail, from the planning to being met and catered to every step of the way. Our favorite lodges were Tau Pan in the Kalahari, Botswana & Moon Mountain in Sossusvlei, Namibia. We especially loved the Batswana people and all the animals we saw at Camp Moremi on the Okavanga River. The highlight of our trip was actually our stay in Swakopmund when we stayed on the South Atlantic & went for an exciting boat ride to see all the sealife up close and personal (like a seal coming onboard the boat!), a rollar coaster dune ride in a 4 X 4!! the balloon ride over the red sand dunes over Namibia and several champagne brunches in the middle of the desert. Also, will never forget all the sundowmer game drives which ended with our favorite cocktail, watching the sunset with wildlife close at hand!
Unforgettable. Thanks Ivona for planning it all!"

Re: Steven Weru Kinyua, Kenya tour guide
We recently returned from a wonderful 8 day tour of Kenya with Steven, he is an exceptional individual. But one example: As we returned to the Samburu lodge from our first game drive, Steven pointed out a young, sick-looking lion in the shade of a tree. We observed it momentarily and soon returned to the lodge for dinner.
The next day Steven mentioned he had reported the weak young lion to the local Samburu ranger. Steven explained that due to the arrival of a new alpha male in his pride the young lion had likely been chased out before he was able to hunt for himself. He further explained that the young lion would be welcome back in a week or two, if he were alive. I pursued the full story w/Steven. The ranger Steven had reported the weak lion to had been unresponsive, indicating he would do nothing. Steven, unsatisfied w/that response told the ranger to report it to the Head Park Ranger, or he would. The Head Ranger agreed with Steven's analysis of the situation; bought 10 kilos of meat for the young lion; and directed his staff to feed it appropriately.
Steven understood the workings of that lion pride, and has an exceptional knowledge of all the wild animals of Kenya. Furthermore he has a passion for their well-being. He would not accept a lazy, disinterested response from the local ranger. During our trip in Kenya I had occasion to speak to groups of secondary school students. I related Steven's actions as an excellent example of a Kenyan's knowledge, passion and commitment.
One day Steven pointed out a cheetah. We saw the cheetah w/a young impala in its mouth. After the cheetah had choked the young impala, Steven explained the mother cheetah was calling her cubs --it was thrilling to see the 3 cubs come tearing across the plain creating a mini-dust storm in their wake. The mother gave the kill to her cubs. Steven explained they had to learn to open it up. Shortly she sent them off the kill, twenty paces or so, then froze, looking westerly. A lion, smelling the kill Steven explained, was moving off to the north about a 1000 yards away. Intent on the lion the mother cheetah remained frozen in place (as we're the cubs, mimicking their mother). After the lion passed the mother called the cubs back to the kill. Not 15 minutes later the lion came back, followed by yapping jackels, this time moving off to the east of the cheetahs. As soon as the lion appeared, the mother cheetah repeated her previous actions, sending off the cubs and freezing over the kill, intently watching the lion. Steven explained that the jackels were distracting the lion from the kill, knowing if the lion found the kill, nothing would be left for them. Again the lion passed off to the southeast, never able to find the cheetah kill.
This summary highlights events that played out over a 90 minute period. In that time several tourist rovers and vans came, took pictures of the cheetahs, and left. None of those tourists had a complete explanation of the scene that was playing out before us. Game-viewing w/Steven is a rich experience, a clear cut above the average.
In our time w/Steven we had lengthy conversations about the pluses and minuses of grass-burning, the challenges of maintaining wildlife corridors, park encroachment by locals, roadway underpasses for big game, etc. in addition we discussed ukabila and other political challenges facing Kenya. Steven Kinyua is an exceptional Kenyan guide. He has a wonderful sense of humor, and made our Kenya safari a wonderful learning experience we will cherish for years.

"We finally returned from the most magical vacation in Morocco and we cannot thank Lily and Kensington Tours enough!! This trip was beyond amazing and we are so appreciative for everything done to make this trip happen last minute for us!
We had a spectacular tour guide that spoke 8 languages, Ismail, and the friendliest and warmest driver, Said, whom made the experience absolutely phenomenal! Not only did we learn and see, but we laughed, danced, ate like pigs, kissed camels and snakes, ran in the Sahara desert under the stars, and enjoyed life - which is the best gift of all!

"I am so happy that I used Kensington Tours to help with my dream trip to Cape Town South Africa. I was looking for a well respected tour company that planned private guided tours that was not going to cause me my leg, lol. I begin searching companies by reputation and value. I narrowed it down to Kensington Tours because of the quality and value. I felt taken care of prior to my departure due to the detailed itinerary.
From the time of got off the plane to the time I headed back to the states, I was in excellent hands. The service was EXCELLENT! I will definitely use Kensington again. Certainly, a trip of a lifetime!"

"My husband and I have just returned from the trip of a lifetime in Egypt. The sites were amazing and overwhelming. Everything was as promised. We had the most amazing pyramid view and Nile view from our hotels. Our itinerary included the most magnificent sites and we were accompanied by the most informative and friendly people. I highly recommend visiting Egypt. It is totally safe. Thank you to everyone at Kensington for this experience. It was so beyond our expectations!"

"From our greeter, who whisked us through customs in Johannesburg, to all our excellent drivers, guides and associates in Lions Sands, Cape Town and the wine country, everyone was highly professional, well dressed, well mannered, and well informed. Overall our tour worked like a superbly designed, technically perfect Swiss watch. An experience for the ages. Bravo!"

"This was a trip of a life time for me and I was never disappointed. Sylvia listen to me and give me exactly what I wanted in the way of a photo Safari as well as full tour of Cape Town and the wine country. I never had to wait one minute for a guide or any of the transportation provided. The people I dealt with along the way could not have been more courteous and friendly. I just cannot say enough about my experience with Kensington Tours, it was fabulous! "

"I have travelled all my life. I've combed much of Europe, from The arctic north in Norway to the streets of Seville in Spain, the beaches of Cannes and Nice in France and the medieval heart of Bologna in Italy. I've been on two African safaris (one tented, one not), both "luxurious." I've been on more than a dozen jaunts to India, some guided, others not. Over the years I have discovered that I had rather be lost and disoriented in a foreign country than submit once again to the unbending schedule of a guided tour. Hence I had given up tours of any kind, until Molly Kelly, an American Express travel agent, suggested I might want simply to list the places my friends and I wished to see in Morocco then let Kensington Tours make accessing them in an orderly way not only possible but thoroughly enjoyable as well. And this Kensington Tours did. They pulled our disparate destinations together and designed a far, far better route than we could ever have done on our own. They satisfied all our requests and threw in delicious additions, areas of interest we had never considered or even heard of. Our accommodations were well within our means and wonderful. Our guide and driver, not to mention our Mercedes SUV, could not have pleased us more. In other words, thanks to Molly and her recommending Kensington Tours, we had a sensational holiday. "

"Africa had always been a myth in mind since I was child that was up until a week ago. I just returned from an epic safari adventure! Kenya, Tanzania and the Maasai are sorely missed.
Words cannot fully express the magic of this ever-flowing journey. It was awe-inspiring, breathtaking, free and powerful. My mind keeps playing tricks on me; thinking rather hoping that I'm going to see a giraffe cross a busy NYC street :)
The memories will resonate for a lifetime. To boot, I went on this trip solo; female traveler. Not sure any of it would have been possible w/out Kensington Tours!!! Thank you..."

"I had a wonderful trip visiting the mountain gorillas in Uganda. We were able to get really close to the gorillas and watched their interactions with each other. The local people are so gracious and made every minute a delight. The accomodations were great. I loved waking up in the morning to the sounds of the forest. The added luxury of a massage was a great way to end the trip!"

UDG Creator Headphone Hardcase Large Specifications
About UDG
UDG stands for superb quality, innovation, comfort, style and durability. Our mission is to create products of excellence, be THE market leader in our field and still represent true value for money. DJ's and Producers all over the world rely on our products to protect their investments in equipment, vinyl and CD's. UDG has taken the number one brand position simply because customers know that a UDG product is second to none. The company gained respect very quickly and support from the top professionals in the global music industry, on a simple pretence: to build the perfect equipment bag. We started in 2000 knowing that the metal LP flight case was cumbersome for DJ's to carry, had sharp edges that could injure and was usually very weighty. Although it protected the records very well, it was not user friendly, so we believed there had to be an easier and more convenient way for travelling musicians to transport their gear. In early 2000, using all our experience in the electronic music scene, and talking with the World's top DJ's we began development of the ultimate alternative record bag - the UDG SoftBag.
Today the UDG range has grown to provide a vast range of bags, cases and cd wallets to suit every committed DJ. You can always purchase the perfect UDG Bag for your precious collection of music and gear. Of course, there are now copies of our products. We are flattered that imitators try to mimic what we do. But the simple, undisputable fact is that there is no substitute for the quality we build into our products. The materials, zips, locks, tags, inner protection, wheels, handles and design features are of the ultimate quality. Our name says it all – Ultimate DJ Gear. And we strive daily to always be one step ahead of the "copy-cats" by improving our designs with suggestions and comments from the world's top professional DJs.
Our guarantee is very straight-forward, and reflects our belief in the quality of our products. We sincerely believe that our products are the best in the World. We put our products through rigorous tests to ensure that the products you trust, are built to the highest standards. You will probably never encounter a problem with your UDG products. In the unlikely event that you, in the first two years from the date of purchase, discover a problem caused by defects in either workmanship or materials, we will be happy to see that it is fixed (or replaced, if we decide that would be best). When you purchased a UDG product after the 31st of December 2008, we will even offer you a Limited Lifetime Warranty against manufacturer's defects.
Please be aware that we do not cover normal wear and tear, damage caused by airlines or other common carriers, any damaged contents of your UDG bag, cd wallet or trolley, misuse and abuse of the products. We also do not cover any damage when our products have been in hands of a third party, before they were delivered by you.
It is important to note that our guarantee is not an unconditional guarantee. UDG products are made from the highest quality materials and produced under the highest manufacturing standards. But, like any other travel or bag product, UDG products are not indestructible. Therefore, our guarantee does not cover product damage that may result from abuse or mishandling of the product or overloading. If an airline or other common carriers damages your luggage, you should file a damage claim with the carrier before you leave the airport. We also do not cover incidental or consequential damages, such as loss or damage to the contents of the bag, cd wallet or trolley. Locks are intended only to prevent accidental opening and cannot necessarily prevent theft of case of its contents. For repairs that are deemed by us as non warranty, the repair fee will be determined at the UDG repair facility. All warranty claims accompanied by an explanation with detail pictures and an original receipt of purchase, can be emailed to [email protected]. Damage due to wear and tear will be invoiced at a reasonable charge. We do not speculate at the store level or on the phone as to whether a fee will be assessed for the repair. Turn-around time on repairs is approximately 2-4 weeks from the time the bag is received at our repair facility and we have your approval to complete the repair.

70 Creative Advertisements That Make You Look Twice
By Hongkiat Lim. Filed in Inspiration
It's quite true about the saying – There's no second chance at making a good first impression. Advertisement, regardless online or offline, if they don't catch your attention within seconds they are considered failed. Agencies and big corporations do not believe in 'cool factors' in advertisement anymore. Instead, to really stand out of the crowd, the idea has to be really out of the box, something that makes you laugh, talks about it or at least make you look twice.

Ordered the white and blue pair last year and fell in love with them. Just ordered the black and camel. These are the most comfortable sandals I have ever worn. The size is true to fit and they go with everything from casual to work to an evening out.

Each uses a different size tank. If you had a 12" rough in, if available, you could use a 10" tank to leave space behind it to the wall but less space on sides and higher also.
