How do you guys feel about this show? I saw it for the first time yesterday. The animation/action looked really sharp, but it was really thin on story. Is it worth catching up from the beginning?

Huh, this was on TechTV way back, during Toonami's first life. It's a reimagining of Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai. It was okay; pretty cool visuals, but the ending kinda sucked. (IOW, Gonzo in a nutshell.)
Edit: At least, I think TechTV was the channel... don't really remember anymore. Pretty sure it wasn't CN, at any rate.

"Gendou is probably the least whiny, but... well, let's just say that his reaction was probably not quite as healthy as a good whine."
-The Drunkard Kid, on Evangelion
I loved this story. But I think you shouldn't expect complex plots or plot twists. For me, it's pretty much a simple yet timeless Samurai story applied to a futuristic setting. I think it's just right considering the series isn't toot long.
I think the series reflects the ideals of culture of Samurai; everything from frugality, mastery of their art and honor until death. The ending kind of mirrors their ideal death; a glorious death in service of their leader or cause.
I think Kanbei is the one who epitomizes aspects of the classic Samurai while Katsuhiro becomes the audience's avatar into their world.
So upon watching the anime, I think the audience will have to focus more on the characters and the virtues and ideals they live with; because I think that's what the series is for. It's a glimpse to the Samurai way of life.

Sometimes you lose things which you don't expect losing. It doesn't make the hurt any less.
Yeah I wasn't expecting anything complex. It just did seem like the majority of the episode I saw was action. Really well done action, but nevertheless...
I did see the Kurosawa credit, but that makes sense now though.
It is my favorite anime (I can't stand shows like Naruto and Bleach) - wrapped up nicely - great music, animation and story. Well worth watching from the beginning.
Cable's death seemed like a soldier's fate simply and finally catching up with a man never not at war - Mainline

This show, Durarara, and Kekkaishi are on my list of "B-Anime". They look good, they made it to Adult Swim/Toonami so they're probably decent, but the first episodes didn't wow me that much.

I haven't seen the ending to the anime yet but I really enjoy all versions of this story that I've come across. It has great archetypes and its epic. I recommend checking out the black & white Kurosawa film, its long and sub-titled but worth your time. It was also made into a western called The Magnificent Seven; which has Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen & Charles Bronson in it. So needless to say its all kinds of badass. The story is basically the same in all of them, except in M7the characters of Kikuchiyo & Katsushiro seem like their archetypes (the youth & the fool) are combined into one character; Chico.
"It is wrong to assume that art needs the spectator in order to be. The film runs on without any eyes. The spectator cannot exist without it. It ensures his existence." -- James Douglas Morrison
There's a DC book right now Demon Knights, that's very similar to this, I think it's also based on Kurosawa's Seven Samurais.
I'm enjoying the show. Nothing amazing, but it's good.
The bird of Hermes is my name, eating my wings to make me tame.
This turned out to be fake, but I was immediately reminded of this show.

So I was cleaning up my garage this afternoon and the biggest mess was my dumping gound for cycling stuff I'm not using or haven't used for quite awhile. I found a set of extralite octaramp chainrings (now on ebay) and another 50t extralite ring. There was also an old salsa 34t ring, both being 110bcd. This got me to thinking - my computrainer bike has an old shimano rsx (or is it rxs) crankset w/ 46/36/26 rings, which doesn't help my winter training when my regular bike has 50/34. Fortunately I still have a crank puller, popped the drive side off and attempted to take off the rings. The 26 came off no problem. The bolts for the other 2 rings would not budge- all steel and the stupid nuts are not hex nor torx, so they were just not moving. DRILL! I have a set of drill bits from my (late) uncle- the made in the USA type from the 60's-70's. Nothing stops them.
The cordless drills were not cutting it, so I went for the electric drill. Noise, smoke, hot metal shards and 10 minutes later I had those rings off! Ah, sometimes destroying things is just plain fun!
So, my circa 1990 steel touring frame is now set up w/ an rsx crankset w/ a 50t extralite ring on it. It's now 50/34. Shifting w/ downtube shifters (friction on the FD) is quite nice, compared to normal shifting w/ extralite rings!

10 Least-Trendy Cat Names of 2013
By Kristen Seymour
For every name that moves up a mark on the list of the top 100 most popular cat names, another name has to slide. And some names have fallen more than their fair share over the past decade, with a few dropping off the list completely.
Do any of these names ring a bell? They might be losing ground now, but they were certainly popular once upon a time!

Red River's Jacob Benson Commits to St. Cloud StateGrand Forks Red River junior forward Jacob Benson has committed to St. Cloud State.
By: Dan Corey, WDAZ
It was announced Tuesday that Red River's Jacob Benson has committed to St. Cloud State. The junior forward leads the East Region with 44 points through 19 games. Benson considered UND and Mankato but chose SCSU.
Benson, "Their coaching staff's been awesome with us with the family. The new rink is going to be cool and it's somewhat close to home which also helps. Mainly the coaching staff has been awesome with me."
"He's working hard, he's a good player, he's talented and he deserves whatever he can get, so I'm happy for him. It's fun to see kids that you've coached, kids that you know go on and excel and go on to that higher level," added Red River head coach Bill Chase.

"I used the monogram stripe cards for invitations to a wedding. The black, chartreuse, and white colors are deep and rich, the paper is thick and looks wonderful. The many choices for script allowed me to create a very contemporary invitation, which was perfect! I've received so many compliments on these invitations....I'm VERY happy with them. The service was exceptional....I had them within a few days of placing my order and they were packed well, so they arrived in impeccable condition. Highly recommended!!"
"This colorful insert was just what we wanted, and complemented our invitations perfectly! I loved having inserts in addition to our invitation, because it added so much more color to the whole package! The vertical lay-out allows room for lots of information to be printed on the card."
"We really needed to give our guests more information about our reception, so we chose this card and changed the wording up a bit. It is now a great little info card! WPD was wonderful at helping me with the wording. They pointed out any typos and suggested some word changes so that the card was more uniform with our invitations. I couldn't be happier!"
"I worked with the editors to get this looking and saying exactly what I wanted, they made changes extremely fast and it ended up arriving quickly and just as I ordered!"
"These are great cards ! Fun and young with an awesome sheen to the paper . I was able to design the card exactly as I wanted . They came out great and we love them !"

Vitamin D Therapy: Training in Tucson
I don't even know how this happened. I'm going to go ahead and blame my coach because it was his idea. Secondary blame goes to Sal, whom I allowed to make the final decision for us, since I was on the fence:
"Sicily or training camp in Tucson?"
"Training camp in Tucson."
I know, right? I was surprised too. But secretly kind of happy. I mean, really? Training camp? Is that like band camp? Just think of all the crazy crap we're going to do!
Of course, I was also nervous. Big miles early in the year. There weren't many women signed up to go. I had visions of caribou and rescue teams. But my coach assured me I'd be ready, so I took a deep breath and one big leap of faith and trained my ass off.
And here I am.
It's sunny. In fact, it's the best weather Tucson has seen all winter. We rolled out in short sleeves and shorts. No booties, no leg warmers, no wool base-layer, no thick cap. No snow!
Shit-eating grins were the order of the day.
60 miles of rolling, climbing and swooping. Not even the 30 mph headwind on the climb heading out could break us. Mark attacked, Sal followed, and the game was on.
Eventually I hooked up with Javad and one of our guides, Mike, and we clawed our way into the wind to the top of the climb. And I did what I do best – sucked wheel like a champ.
The work paid off and on the way back we found the big ring and ripped out a roaring descent. Wind at our backs.
At Saguaro National Park we ducked in for an 8-mile lap around the scenic loop. Roller coaster city. One way traffic, vistas, and big silky turns. The kind of terrain that makes you feel 12 years old again.
Back at the house we went straight into the unheated pool for an ice bath, slugging recovery drinks as we did.
Lunch was immaculate: lentil soup, naan bread, fresh green salad, and three bean salad. It nearly rivaled the grilled salmon and rice pilaf of the night before.
I rubbed the road off my calves in the shower and wondered what tomorrow would feel like. Then, like a kindergartner, I succumbed to nap time and fell asleep with the acute sensation of my legs heavy on the bed.
Tomorrow brings more miles, more climbing, and more sun.
Ride hard, buttercup – road season's a-comin'!

You lucky, lucky person. Tell Owen I said "Hello!". No trip to Tucson is complete without a trip to El Charo (downtown location) and the Congress. Go!
Its so beautiful there!
Dude, I've been to band camp (I'm sure Ty has, too). Training camp is way cooler than band camp.
I'm crazy jealous!
How was the new bike? Without the burden of all the cold weather gear was it everything you imagined?
Awesome report, and the site looks very slick!

CouchDB: The Definitive Guideby J. Chris Anderson Jan Lehnardt Noah Slater
Three of CouchDB's creators show you how to use this document-oriented database as a standalone application framework or with high-volume, distributed applications. With its simple model for storing, processing, and accessing data, CouchDB is ideal for web applications that handle huge amounts of loosely structured data. That alone would stretch the limits of a relational database, yet CouchDB offers an open source solution that's reliable, scales easily, and responds quickly. CouchDB works with self-contained data that has loose or ad-hoc connections. It's a model that fits many real-world items, such as contacts, invoices, and receipts, but you'll discover that this database can easily handle data of any kind. With this book, you'll learn how to work with CouchDB through its RESTful web interface, and become familiar with key features such as simple document CRUD (create, read, update, delete), advanced MapReduce, deployment tuning, and more. Understand the basics of document-oriented storage and manipulation Interact with CouchDB entirely though HTTP using its RESTful interface Model data as self-contained JSON documents Handle evolving data schemas naturally Query and aggregate data in CouchDB using MapReduce views Replicate data between nodes Tune CouchDB for increased performance and reliability

"I'm excited, I was just waiting for the right time to commit," said A.J. Coplon, who was recently selected to play in the Shrine Bowl of the Carolinas. "It was kind of a relief and it feels great now that I've made my decision."
"I don't think it has set in yet -- it probably will later on. I'm just looking forward to the experience."
Coplon will bring a lot the Pirates' defense.
"We nicknamed him "Big Play A.J." this season for a reason," said Havelock assistant coach Caleb King. "He has six punt returns for touchdowns, six interceptions (returned two for touchdowns), and he's blocked two kicks."
"He will bring huge playmaking ability to East Carolina," said King. "He can return punts, he can return kicks, and he can play cornerback or safety. He can just cover so much ground and he has great ball skills."
Coplon likes the coaching staff at East Carolina.
"The coaching staff played a big role in my decision," said the 5-foot-11, 175-pound Coplon.
"I really like the Coach (Brian) Mitchell. He's the defensive back's coach and we have a good relationship. He's cool and he's always talking to me about everything."
"I also really like Coach (Ruffin) McNeill. It feels good to know that I'm going to be playing for him and I can't wait."
With his commitment made, Coplon said he is done with recruiting.
"I'm 100 percent committed," he said.
The Havelock star has a bright future in Greenville.
"He's going to be a great player," said King. "The sky is limit for A.J."
Coplon chose the Pirates over scholarship offers from Appalachian State and Coastal Carolina.
Havelock plays Orange on Friday in the fourth round of the state playoffs.

Best anti- cold defense

Purchased at iHerb
I gave this brand a chance about 5 years ago, when I couldn't find my regular one and I was suffering from a cold to end all colds. After a few hours I was good and functional again, 2 days later it was all gone, and I never looked back. Now,I make sure I have a box at the beginning of every cold season and if I start taking it at the first symptoms, it stops it dead in it's tracks. Highly recommended. I gave it to a lot of my friends too, and now they swear by it.
If You're Already Sick, Won't Help - Also Strange Urine Smell

Purchased at iHerb
I bought 2 boxes of these because of the reviews. Perhaps it works well when you are just getting sick. I don't know. But I was in full blown flu/cold and this has not helped at all. I have been on for one week now. Still sick. Have taken as directed, 3x a day. Also, my urine has a very strange, pungent odor now. Very gross. I believe it is from this medicine, as this is the only NEW item I added to my regime. I take cough medicine, Emergen-C, Vitamin C,D, cough drops, tea with lemon and honey. So this is the only logical medicine that I can think of to make this happen.

PhpPeanuts is a framework for developing database-backed applications in PHP. Rather than building an application from the bottom up, you initially only build domain model classes in which you specify properties, relationships, and database table names in metadata. The framework dynamically scaffolds getters and setters, persistency, navigation over relations, and input and delete validation. The abstract user interface instantly offers a rich set of pages for searching, browsing, drilling down, editing and reporting over your domain model. From there on you extend and refine both the domain model and the user interface to make it what you want by defining specialization classes and overriding inherited methods.

Comments On Aug 18, 2013:Bought the clutch and installed it today. It all went in fine. The instructions are hard to understand. It took me a good hour id say. Just because i tried to fit it different ways. Does it make the clutch pull easier on the WR. No. I dont find it to be easier. I have heard the same thing from other WR owners with magura clutch. I will take it on a long ride soon and update. Short ride it did its job. Looking forward to consistent clutch pull when in trails.
Additional Comments On Aug 25, 2013:So i had to modify the mount a bit. The way it was sitting it bent the clutch puller a bit when fully engaged. So i bent it a bit towards the clutch actuator arm a bit. Works good now.
Additional Comments On Mar 17, 2014:If you decide to get this, the stock master cylinder is 10.5. for a WR 450. If you want easier clutch pull. Get a 9.5 master cylinder. Contact magura or your local dealer for more info.

Comments On Feb 14, 2014:I put off buying this setup for several years. I read reviews saying how well it worked, and others that said it did little to nothing to improve clutch action. The CR500 has a stiffer than average clutch pull and even with new cables, the clutch pull was difficult enough that 99% of the time I would just let it lug down to get through nasty rocky sections. Now, I can actually feather the clutch and ride with more finesse through these sections. Much less arm fatigue from pulling the clutch. I didn't do any before and after measurements, but there is no comparison. Wouldn't ride without it again.
I do think it could use a little more stroke. With everything adjusted all the way up, it still won't roll with the clutch pulled in, but once the engine is running, it works like butter.
I have been riding with this setup for a couple years now and have had no issues with it. If you have a bike that only requires one finger to actuate the clutch, this probably won't help any. If you ride a CR500, I would HIGHLY recommend this setup!

Comments On Jan 20, 2014:Just installed a Magura Hydraulic Clutch system on my crf250 and all I can say is wow. Smooth as butter and consistent pull all the time. Pull effort is half than a cable system. A unbreakable style lever would make the kit better.Just had to bend the stock bracket slightly and install went well

Comments On Aug 24, 2013:Installation was very easy & only took about a half hour, however I am disappointed that this "upgrade" doesn't make the clutch any easier to pull in. The force required to pull the clutch in is the exact same as a fresh cable. The only two real positives is the clutch does have a consistant feel throughout the full pull/release of the clutch & the cool factor of have the hyd. clutch over cable, but thats just cosmetic. The money is better spent on other real upgrades!

Comments On Feb 09, 2013:I ordered the exact one for my model bike and it came with a cute little bracket along with the manual (which is the same for all bikes) and very vague in expalining anything. I'm sure it fits certain bikes easily but mine not so much. Instructions will tell you certain models will use the stock cable bracket and others will use new one along with telling you to bend them possibly to make the right angles. I tried to find a way to use the new bracket and it wouldn't work at all and the stock one would not leave enough free-play thus causing the clutch to be in constant pull and would overheat the bike even if the thing didn't slip too much. For the price of such an add-on i feel like they could print off a 2 dollar Machine-Specific instruction sheet and all neccesary brackets. I gave it 3 stars only because i know the gain i will get as far as endurance will outweigh the initial pains of getting it hooked up right.

Comments On Dec 27, 2012:I had purchased this product from this website and put it on in an hour. It was awesome. I had a few problems on the way, but not significant enough to lower stars. You can tell it is universal when you get it because the mounting bract they gave you was a little too close to the clutch lever mounted on the engine. This was a little aggravating, but I just used the stock mount and took it out for a drive (05 trx450r) and noticed that the sock mount was a little too far away from the engine clutch lever because it would not fully engage. I could tell this because when I punched it it basically felt like the clutch was pulled and it did not move. I jet used a grinder and filed it down a few millimeters and it engaged fine.

Comments On Dec 15, 2012:This thing is really well made. Despite the current pictures it is a Gen 2 model with folding lever. The instructions are totally generic. Routing, what needs to come off, what to loosen, where/what to tie wrap are all missing. The end product is great; reduced lever pull and super smooth action are worth the expense.

Comments On Aug 22, 2012:I HAVE AN 06 CRF450R. THE CLUTCH WAS VERY STIFF NO MATTER WHAT I DID. WITH THE MAGURA I AM ABLE TO USE ONE FINGER INSTEAD OF TWO AND I EXPERIENCE LESS FATIGUE WHEN FORCED TO RIDE THE CLUTCH A LOT, LIKE WHEN I AM STUCK IN TRAFFIC ON A POKER RUN.

Shaw Living takes aim at becoming 'single-source'
Cecile Corral -- Home Textiles Today, September 22, 2003
Two acquisitions and several strategic partnerships later, Shaw Rugs embarked this market with a new name more befitting its recently restructured course as a multiple category supplier.
Shaw Living, vp Jeff Meadows explained to Home Textiles Today, represents the company's effort to "become a single-source vendor" to its retail partners.
"It's very important to buyers to know they can come to one place to get all they need," Meadows said during a preview of new product lines at the company's Georgia Tufters's division showroom at 295 Fifth Avenue. "Buyers don't have time to shop from six different vendors for six separate categories."
Shaw Living's current product mix includes area rugs from the original Shaw Rugs line, chenille-tufted top-of-bed products and bath and scatter rugs through its acquisition of Calhoun, GA-based Georgia Tufters in April, and decorative pillows and throws through its partnership with Norcross, GA-based Trade Am. And soon, through parent company Shaw Industries' purchase of some of the assets of The Dixie Group, it will add doormats to its offerings.
The expanded lines have boosted retail placements beyond the core of independent floor covering stores for its area rug business. Earlier in the year, an alliance with Trade Am for coordinated decorative pillow, throw and rug lines won a placement at a major mass merchant.
And this summer, Shaw Living won an auction for bath rugs at another major mass retail chain, as well as added shelf space for scatter-size rugs at a major home center that already carries some of its area rug programs, Meadows said.
Expansions at its facilities support such growth. The company recently installed new tufting and automated finishing machines, both for scatter rugs, at the Georgia Tufters site.
"Being in these new retail channels, we know we'll generate several impressions each week," Meadows explained. "Many customers shop the mass merchants about once a week, but they don't go as often to floor covering stores. But now they'll see our label on scatters or bath rugs or throws regularly, so when they redo their homes and go to those floor covering stores, they'll recognize our name and make that connection."
Collections debuting with a new logo include 100 percent nylon space-dyed and printed space-dyed scatter rugs.
Now that the logo has been redesigned, Meadows said new labels and packaging will soon follow. While some overlap of the old and new label on store shelves will occur, he expects the rollout to be complete within the next six months.
Meadows said Shaw Living will continue to look out for viable acquisition opportunities to enter into new product categories and gain placement at existing and new retail channels.
"Our five pillars are innovation, design, color, quality and service," Meadows said. "Some suppliers might do one or two of these, but we do them all."

Comments On Jun 26, 2012:WOW!! This exhaust makes my 2010 KTM 250 XCF-W run much better. More power at low and mid RPM and gains RPM's much quicker. The FMF muffler is 1 lb 3 oz lighter than the stock muffler. I borrowed a decible meter, stock muffler is 96-97 db, FMF is 98-99 db. The FMF is louder and has a much lower tone. It seems to make my bike run a bit hotter. Suggestion for RM ATV/MC: Change the picture on your website from a blue muffler to a silver muffler. FMF does make a blue anodized muffler. I thought I was getting/buying a blue muffler but RM ATV only carries the silver. No big deal as the silver looks fine, just a bit deceiving.

Comments On Oct 24, 2007:A great exhaust, I noticed a huge gain in low and mid range power. The weight savings compared to the stock pipe was a big plus. Fully satisfied.

Fenerbahce Ulker: McCalebb (17), Sato (2), Bogdanovic (18), Andersen (2), Oguz (1) -equip inicial- Omer (2), Baris, Tripkovic, Peker (9), Batiste, Karaman (7) i Preldzic (2)
FC Barcelona Regal: Sada (4), Navarro (13), Mickeal (17), Lorbek (9), Tomic (14) -equip inicial- Huertas (14), Jasikevicius (6), Ingles (13), Todorovic (4), Jawai (3), Wallace i Rabaseda (2)
Colossal. Barça are now on a 12-0 streak and were simply untouchable at the Ülker Arena in Istanbul, where they were up against the recentl crowned Turkish Cup champions Fenerbahçe Ülker. But not even a star-studded squad or home advantage could help them against a side that is playing the kind of basketball that only the greatest teams can produce. The home side were outclassed from the start, and the road win was a foregone conclusion from very early on in the game.

I thought something was up when Ryan Reynolds was the Sexiest Man Alive in PEOPLE this year, and very little of what he had to say about his exalted sexiness seemed to involve his wife. You would have thought that would be something the PR people would have been all over him to promote.

The expert guides always on hand at Stanley's camp, will share a wealth of wildlife knowledge, take guests deep into the bush in specially modified open 4 x 4 vehicles on morning and afternoon game drives to find the secluded places where elephant families congregate in search of the tastiest fruits and berries. The game viewing opportunities at Stanley's Camp are awe-inspiring.
Following is a list of included activities; please note some activities are weather dependant:
Game Drives: Game drives are not typical here, as water crossings are part of the adventure, and watching zebra standing belly-deep in water, grazing, is a sight to see. Even giraffe will cross water up to their hocks. During higher water levels, game drives will be combined with motorised boating excursions. Sanctuary Stanley's Camp is set in a private concession which means you can also venture out at night on exciting game drives to see the many nocturnal animals that live here. The evening drive starts after sundowner cocktails, using a spotlight to identify nocturnal creatures including the ones that are easier to catch a glimpse of in the dark, like hyena and leopard. Tiny fireball eyes that seem to levitate through the air and reappear again in different trees are bush babies, just one of several different creatures to be found.
Walking Safaris: Professional guides at Stanley's Camp will show you the bush on foot. This is a chance to see the Delta from a different perspective, one that is up close and personal with the surrounding environment. Walks allow you to read the news of the night in the smooth sand of the road. Lion, leopard, elephants, genets and even millipedes are all part of the signs, each with their story to tell. A walking safari is about seeing the small five and the various floras in the area.
Mokoro Excursions: The Okavango Delta is of course flooded for much of the year and when it is, guests can experience serene silence at the gentle pace of a poled mokoro excursion along the narrow channels. Sit back and relax as you glide through lily ponds on local dugout canoes while seeing eye to eye with a buffalo as it laps water from the river, watch crocodiles sunbathe on the banks or cruise past a pod of hippos as they lie in a pool. Fish eagles, frogs and fabulous lilies form much of this experience, but more frequently it is the quietness and gentle pace that makes its impression.
Sanctuary Stanley's Camp sits amidst 260,000 acres of untamed African bush in a private concession. Bordering the southern section of the famous Moremi Game Reserve, Sanctuary Stanley's is a small luxury camp consisting of eight classic styled safari tents. Each of the eight classic safari tents sits on raised wooden decking. Each unit offers en-suite facilities, a private deck and is equipped with a hairdryer and ceiling fan. There is also a swimming pool. Electricity, 220 volts, is supplied by a combination of silent packed generator and battery system allowing 24-hour power supply.
The Okavango Delta is home to some of the most spectacular and varied wildlife on Earth. Famed for its big cat and bird population, the delta is a peaceful haven where animals have been protected for decades and know they will not be disturbed. You'll have the opportunity to see animals up close when expert guides accompany you on your daily included activities. The area also boasts a diversity of landscape with desert, dry savannah, lagoon and swamps in close proximity – cheetah, crocodile and elephant can frequently be seen.
In the Okavango, you will typically you will have a morning game drive, coming back to your camp for lunch and some down time. Later in the day, you will head out for your afternoon or night game drive.
Enjoy breakfast in the first light of day and head out to explore more of the fascinating Okavango Delta. Today, you might encounter impala and predators such as cheetah or the endangered wild dog. Return to the camp for lunch and perhaps a siesta, before heading out for an afternoon activity.
A representative from your lodge will provide a shared transfer to the airstrip today.
This charter flight travels to the numerous airstrips of the Okavango region.
At Chief's Camp you will have the opportunity to experience the following activities:
•Game Drives- Expert guides are always on hand to share their wealth of wildlife knowledge as you explore the Delta in modified open 4 x 4 vehicles on morning and afternoon game drives. The game viewing opportunities at Sanctuary Chief's Camp are awe-inspiring.
•Mokoro Excursions- Mokoros, local dugout canoes, offer a different perspective of the bush in the company of a highly trained local guide.. Poling through the byways created by the floodwaters is a magical experience that allows guests to get very close to the biggest of game and to see the world from a totally different angle. As a change from a game drive, the quiet, gentle pace of a mokoro is a real introduction to a way of transport still used in the Delta by the 'river bushmen' or BaYei people.
Additional Activities available at an extra cost:
•SCENIC FLIGHTS OVER THE DELTA- These scenic flights involve flying west towards the permanent delta, exposing areas which are unreachable by vehicle or boat and showcasing the sheer enormity of the Okavango Delta.
•TREATMENT ROOM- Sanctuary Chief's Camp offers a range of spa treatments including body therapies, body rituals and facial skin care treatments.
Chief's Camp is nestled in the Chief's Island bush, in the Moremi Game Reserve. Its 12 luxury pavilions are admired for their spaciousness and clean, plush quality. At the same time, the camp adheres to an African authenticity in bush camping. Chefs use their talents to the fullest, concocting tasteful delights from local produce and succulent meats. Friendly and ready service add to this enjoyable experience. Take part in game drives, and observe the interactions between animals of different species. This region plays host to the most carefree and unhindered wildlife.
Spa Treatments - Guests at Sanctuary Chief's are able to enjoy a range of spa treatments. Treatments include products from the Africology line and guests are able to choose from a range of body therapies, body rituals and facial skin care treatments. Treatments may be booked at the camp reception with the camp manager, or with the therapist. A full consultation will be held before every treatment.
Helicopter over the Delta - Experiencing Botswana's Okavango Delta by helicopter is an incredible and unrivalled experience, one in which a large variety of game as well as the region's stunning landscape can be easily viewed… Together with our preferred partner in Botswana, Mack Air, we now offer scenic helicopter flights over the Okavango Delta, allowing you to venture to parts of the Delta which are inaccessible by game vehicle providing an excellent opportunity to explore an array of truly unspoilt wildlife and scenery. The helicopter used provides incomparable comfort with air conditioning, leather seats and a large cabin, easily seating 6 passengers. Each passenger is provided with a David Clarke headset which allows guests to freely talk to each other as well as the pilot.
Sit back and relax during this short hopper flight that departs the airstrip in Okavango and arrives at the airstrip in Maun.
Enjoy a direct flight today between Maun and Johannesburg. Flight time is approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes. Flight scheduled to depart Maun at 1h45pm and arrive into Johannesburg at 330 pm. Please Note: Flight times may vary.
Depart from Johannesburg 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!"

"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!"
