If you've lost your sense of awe and wonder, you'll find them again in Tanzania.
Trek through some of the most beautiful and diverse landscapes Africa has to offer in your own private 4x4 vehicle. Your personal guide will take you through Tanzania's greatest parks where you can search for big cats, elephants, and giraffe. At night, take in the setting sun behind breathtaking vistas and relax in comfort in well-appointed accommodations. With so much to see and do, internal flights cut down on drive time and get you to your next rendezvous quickly.
Explore Tarangire National Park and scan the famous baobob trees in search of lions and leopards napping in the branches. Discover the diversity of the Ngorongoro Crater, the world's largest inactive volcanic caldera, where you'll have the opportunity to spot the rare black rhino amongst the large packs of hyenas and jackals. Cross over into the plains of the Serengeti, which boasts the largest population of lions and giraffe in all of Africa, and thrill at the sight of the annual wildebeest migration, one of the greatest highlights of any African safari.
Enjoy a personalized vacation that best suits your needs, developed by one of our experienced destination experts. Relax during your trip with our 24/7 support and expert local guidance.
Airport transfer between your Arusha hotel and Kilimanjaro International airport with private vehicle and english speaking driver.
While you are in the care of Kensington Tours, your safety and security are our number one priority. As such, in the unlikely event of serious illness or injury, all Kensington Tours clients are covered by "Flying Doctors" Insurance policy. This emergency evacuation insurance covers the cost of the evacuation flight back to Nairobi for treatment. This insurance policy however DOES NOT cover the cost of any medical treatment received. We highly recommend travel insurance for full coverage.
Mount Meru Hotel is situated at the foothills of Mount Meru in the city of Arusha, Tanzania. The Mount Meru Hotel lies on 9 acres of lush landscape, surrounded by some of Africa's most breath-taking vistas, rich with a diverse array of wildlife, etched against the fertile slopes of this beautiful mountain. The Mount Meru Hotel, its management and staff members have made every endeavour to ensure that your stay is a rejuvenating and refreshing experience of African hospitality and look forward to meeting you in person.
From Arusha, your guide will drive you to the Tarangire National Park. This commute takes approximately 3 hours to complete.
On this afternoon drive you will notice the unusually shaped baobab trees, also known as the "upside-down tree". Look up and you might find the tree climbing African pythons. This is one of the world's largest species of snakes, but do not worry, it is also a non-venomous species. Tarangire's pythons climb trees, as do its lions and leopards, lounging in the branches.
Kikoti Camp is situated above one of the most highly populated wildlife arenas in Africa, Tarangire National Park, where privacy is guaranteed and guests are privy to 35 000 acres of unrefined living species. The dramatic landscape surrounding the camp's 10 permanent en-suite tents makes for a stunning African experience full of discoveries and sights like no other. Dishes prepared at the camp feature local cuisine of the most tasteful sort, filled with adventurous spices and succulent meats. Vegetables and fruits are gathered from nearby farms, and there are no formalities around meals as it is meant to be a fulfilling, wholesome endeavor. Activities range from bush trekking and bush dining to cultural talks to add to your knowledge on the area.
In the early morning hours, your skilled guide will pick you up and take you for a game viewing drive through Tarangire National Park. The main highlight here is elephant, which mass in enormous numbers during the dry season June to December. General game is also good, although predators tend to be quite difficult to find. From January to May the park is beautiful and offers a more private experience with very low visitor numbers. Year round this is a unique safari experience.
On this game drive you might notice the swamps, tinged green year round, which are the focus for 550 bird varieties. This park boasts of having the most breeding species in one habitat anywhere in the world. On drier ground you find the Kori bustard, the heaviest flying bird; the stocking-thighed ostrich, the world's largest bird; and small parties of ground hornbills blustering like turkeys. More ardent bird-lovers might keep an eye open for screeching flocks of the dazzlingly colourful yellow-collared lovebird and the somewhat drabber rufous-tailed weaver and ashy starling – all endemic to the dry savannah of north-central Tanzania.
Your guide will pick you up from the Tarangire National Park and drive you to the massive Ngorongoro crater. This drive will take approximately 3 1/2 hours.
Just inside the Ngorongoro conservation area, a majestic waterfall beckons travelers to enjoy a light hike through the forest highlands. Along the way, experience the 'elephant caves': cave-like structures created by elephants digging up the earth to ingest the vitamin-rich soil. This soil also attracts other large animals like Buffalo, Bushbuck, Waterbuck, and Baboons.
A small and exclusive lodge facing the Oldeani Volcano, only 5 kms. from the Ngorongoro Lolduare gate was built, meant to offer our clients an original experience reminiscent of the atmosphere of the old days.
Explore one of the most recognized wildlife conservation areas in Tanzania today. Depart your camp or lodge in a privately driven vehicle, along with a local expert guide, for approximately a 20 to 30 minute drive towards the Ngorongoro Park Gate. It will then take you another 20 minutes to reach the crater rim itself. The Ngorongoro Crater is the world's largest inactive, intact, and unfilled volcanic caldera. This geological masterpiece was formed as a result of an extremely large volcanic explosion which caused the volcano to collapse in on itself, thus creating a crater. The crater is roughly 20 kilometers wide and some 2000 feet deep, making the trip from crater floor to rim around 45 minutes by 4x4. The extremely fertile crater floor is the reason why there is such a highly concentrated amount of wildlife here. Over 20000 mammals call the crater home, including some of the only remaining black rhinos in the world. The crater floor also boasts one of the highest carnivore densities in the world including large prides of lions, packs of hyenas and solitary predators like cheetahs and jackals. A keen eye and expertly recommended search patterns from your guide may help you spot some of the less common species like leopards, servals, and bat-eared foxes.
You are provided with a personalized, experienced tracker-guide and private transportation today whilst exploring around the Ngorongoro National Park grounds.
Enjoy a box lunch while you travel (included in tour price).
Your guide will pick you up from the Ngorongoro Conservation area and drive you to the famous plains of the Serengeti. On this drive you have the option of stopping at Olduvlai Gorge, the Serengeti welcome centre and lookout point, or stop for lunch at a picnic spot. After entering Serengeti Park you will have the chance to enjoy game viewing as you drive through the park to your next accommodation. This drive takes 5 to 6 hours depending on the number of stops you make and how much game viewing you enjoy along the way. Expect longer trip times during the rainy seasons.
The massive Olduvai Gorge or Oldupai Gorge is often referred to as "The Cradle of Mankind." Beginning in the eastern Serengeti plains, the gorge is roughly some 48 kilometers long. As a result of millions of years of natural erosion, this gorge boasts a steep-sided ravine which cuts and stretches its way through the Great Rift Valley along eastern Africa. The gorge is named after a commonly used plant by the Masai people with the scientific name of Sansevieria-Ehrenbergii, or Oldupai for short.
Get ready for an afternoon to remember as you set out accompanied by an experienced tracker-guide into the seamlessly never-ending expanses of the Serengeti. The park is world renowned for its health stock of resident wildlife species, in particular the African Big 5 which or course includes buffalos, elephants, rhinoceros, leopards and lions. Although with sightings considered a rarity, very few black rhinoceros still live within the confines of the park grounds. The Serengeti is also home to the largest population of lions and giraffes in all of Africa. Heavy concentrations of topi, gazelle, waterbuck and Coke's hartebeest provide an ample food source for local carnivores including cheetah, hyenas and African wild dog. The park is also home to some 500+ species of birds, ranging in size and weights some of these bird including ostrich, crowned crane, marabou stork and secretary bird are the most sought after photogenic birds on the planet.
Mbalageti Serengeti features 24 luxury tented chalets on the slopes of the rising Mwamweni hill and 14 lodge style standard rooms. Each tent is equipped with all the utilities of home, such as an en-suite bathroom and a veranda with a stunning view. Dining takes place both in the bush, privately or with small groups, or in the dining tent, where local and continental cuisine forge new roots. English tea is served in the gardens with pastries daily. Activities range from spending some alone time in the loft reading books or a relaxing float in the tranquility pool, with the Serengeti plains as the backdrop.
This morning's African adventure begins with an exploratory game drive through Tanzania's oldest and most recognized National Park, the Serengeti. This dynamic location offers the most expansive game viewing in Tanzania, and considered by many as the best for game viewing location in all of Africa. From predators to prey, great herds of grazing herbivores to tactically cunning packs of carnivores, life on the plains of the Serengeti can best be defined as a complete "circle of life." A photographic dream unfolds before your eyes as giraffes and elephants feast on tasty shrubbery, whilst impalas, gazelles and buffalos dance carefully through the plains as to not become the latest meal for on-looking lions, cheetahs and hyenas.
Spend the day taking in the spectacle of the famous wildebeest migration. This annual migration through the Serengeti and Masai Mara is one of the safari highlights of Africa. The wildebeest migration moves in a basic clockwise direction throughout the year in the Serengeti eco-system and moves north into the Masai Mara in Kenya from June/July through to Sep/October. Sightings cannot be guaranteed as the herds move according to the availability of food sources and migration movements can be erratic. The herds are accompanied by zebras and Thomson's gazelles and are stealthily hunted by local predators such as leopards, lions and hyenas.
If time allows, your expert guide will squeeze in one more game drive before dropping you off at the airstrip. It will be your last chance to see the park's diverse range of animals.
Take your flight from Serengeti to Arusha today. The flight will do more than one stop on the way. The flight duration is approximately 2hrs.
Luggage restriction applicable to this flight: 15kg (32 lb) per person, for both carry-on and checked luggage. Your checked luggage needs to be soft-sided - no wheels / no spine, a duffel bag is recommended. A small purse/backpack, is recommended as a carry-on, to keep your camera, passport, hat, sunblock or other items you need within easy reach.
Stop for lunch at the Arusha Hotel in this tourism capital of Tanzania. Shop the local souvenir market.
Time permitting, visit a local handicrafts market to stock up on souvenirs.
Depart from Kilimanjaro 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!"

Although Swanna is cursed with mediocre offensive and defensive stats, it can support its team in several ways. Swanna is great at setting up hail, rain, and Tailwind thanks to its good Speed, making it a useful asset to a variety of teammates. Moves that can inflict status are preferred, which makes it easier for Swanna to turn situations around in its favor. All in all, Swanna should not be underestimated at supporting its team.
Other than supporting its team, Swanna can't do much else, so Tailwind, Hail, or Rain Dance should be used accordingly. Tailwind is the dominant choice, supporting all of Swanna's teammates. Scald is the preferred STAB Water-type move that Swanna can choose from, because of Scald's ability to burn. With Hurricane, Swanna can 2HKO Amoonguss and OHKO Jolly Virizion; the possibility of confusing the opponent supports Swanna's teammates too. Air Slash is the better choice if Rain Dance is not used; without the boosted accuracy, Hurricane isn't reliable. Air Slash's ability to flinch can also be useful in tough situations. Ice Beam is for coverage, hitting most common Pokemon in VGC 2011 for super effective damage. Ice Beam doesn't OHKO anything of significance, but it can take down quite a few things that were damaged beforehand, Swanna can really only finish off what its partner leaves. Although these moves don't have much coverage, and are walled by Pokemon such as Jellicent, Swanna can be threatening when it has good synergy with its teammates. Big Pecks is chosen over Keen Eye as Swanna's defenses already suffer enough, and some Pokemon take advantage of stat lowering moves. Timid is preferred to allow Swanna to be able to set up as soon as possible since it's not going to be attacking much.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
4 Attack EVs, a Jolly nature, and physical moves could be used instead, but the many status affliction possibilities from the special set would be missed. Though Brave Bird has better accuracy than Hurricane, the recoil damage hinders Swanna's usefulness. If a physical set is being used, Dive would be the only possible Water-type STAB. Protect could be used over Ice Beam if Swanna's partners already have it covered or if a physical Swanna is being used. Protect can definitely come in handy in tough situations; if Swanna is meant to survive for multiple turns, it should definitely be considered. The only point of a physical Swanna would be for Pokemon with low Defense, which isn't common. The special set would definitely be more useful. Surf can be used over Scald, as it can restore health to a Water Absorb partner. Swanna's movepool isn't very good, and other Pokemon such as Samurott can set up Hail more consistently without a 4x weakness to Electric-type moves or 2x weakness to Rock Slide. If Swanna is being used, the rest of the team is usually built around it.
Checks and Counters
Swanna is KOed by several common types, so it can usually only set up. Even if it lives past the first turn, Swanna can't do much else. Swanna's typing isn't very useful in a metagame with Pokemon such as Thundurus being common. Terrakion, Thundurus, and Eelektross with STAB Rock Slides and Thunderbolts easily KO a Swanna that isn't holding a Focus Sash. Taunt, commonly carried by Tornadus and Whimsicott, prevents Swanna from setting up. Fake Out users can break Swanna's Focus Sash. Due to their inability to OHKO anything, Swanna are usually considered inferior to other choices, though Swanna does have the ability to take a hit from quite a few of the common VGC 2011 Pokemon, ultimately deciding Swanna's life on Speed.

SurfacePad for iPhone
Don't call it a case.
SurfacePad for iPhone is a new breed of protection for iPhone. Feather light and credit card thin, SurfacePad for iPhone adheres to, and wraps around, iPhone 5/5s/5c or 4/4s. Rather than protecting your iPhone from falling off the side of a cliff, the luxury leather SurfacePad shields your iPhone from more common hazards, like the keys in your pocket. This minimalistic, napa-leather cover also has a built-in stand for hands-free iPhone use. It's the perfect cover for those who have an iPhone, and are not afraid to show it.
Use your iPhone naked? We hear you.
iPhone cases have gotten so thick and bulky, many users have chosen to let their iPhones go naked (no case at all). We completely understand. Most don't need a case that's military certified or that works underwater. SurfacePad for iPhone is designed to guard against the more typical dangers of daily life, while letting the beautiful modern design of the iPhone still shine through.
It's minimal, but not invisible.
SurfacePad is thin, light and shows off your iPhone - but it also makes a design statement all its own. It adds a pop of color to your iPhone. It makes your phone distinctive and sophisticated in a sea of silly plastic. With its razor thin profile and supple touch, SurfacePad is the first cover worthy of your iPhone, and shares the same design sensibilities as well. Sleek, modern, minimal - both device and cover are cut from the same cloth.
Luxury leather jacket for iPhone.
Made from luxury Napa leather, SurfacePad dresses up iPhone unlike any other cover. At less than 1/10th an inch thick and weighing less than one ounce, this thin leather jacket does not interfere with the buttons, ports or camera on iPhone. Since the cover wraps around and protects the front and back surfaces, the tell-tale profile of the iPhone remains on display. At a glance there's never any doubt what phone you've chosen to run your world.
Built-in stand. Look no hands!
Believe it or not, this micro-thin cover has a built-in stand sewn into the back cover. Flex the back of SurfacePad for iPhone and set iPhone on a flat surface to catch up on your favorite episodes on iTunes, have a FaceTime chat or turn iPhone into a bedside clock radio. You'll be so surprised by how many times you'll use this handy built-in stand - you'll wonder how you got along without it.
Color your world.
The minimal design of SurfacePad doesn't prevent it from making your iPhone stand out. Three colors, Red Pop, Modern White and Jet Black, attach to iPhone with the same special adhesive used on our SurfacePad for MacBook. You can re-position SurfacePad or remove it and re-attach it many times. The only thing you'll find underneath SurfacePad is the shiny surface of your iPhone.
Introducing SurfacePad for iPhone.
"SurfacePad for iPhone delivers a luxury feel and has great looks that compliment the sleek design of your device."Steve Sande, TUAW

SurfacePad FAQs
- Which iPhone is SurfacePad for iPhone compatible with?
There are two versions of SurfacePad for iPhone. One version fits iPhone 5 and the other fits iPhone 4/4S. Aside from the size, both versions of SurfacePad for iPhone are identical.
- Will SurfacePad for iPhone protect my screen if I drop my iPhone?
Probably not. SurfacePad for iPhone is not designed to protect iPhone from falls, drops, being run over by a car or dropped in the loo. SurfacePad is meant to guard your iPhone from scratches and scrapes from things like car keys, nail files or concrete park benches.
- Will the SurfacePad for iPhone leave any sticky residue when removed?
No way. All that will be left underneath SurfacePad is a shiny, protected iPhone surface. SurfacePad can even be removed and reinstalled multiple times - great if you want to change your SurfacePad color to match your shoes.
- Where can I download the clock app that's in the SurfacePad for iPhone gallery?
The clock app used in that photo is Flip Clock, by Larva Labs Ltd. Click here to download Flip Clock in the App Store.
- SurfacePad for iPhone Installation Guide
- How does SurfacePad attach to the iPhone?
The SurfacePad attaches to your iPhone with a modern adhesive that has been used on our SurfacePad for MacBook for years. It installs easily and can even be removed and reinstalled multiple times. This means you can use SurfacePad as your minimal everyday cover, and take it off temporarily when your weekend adventures call for more rugged protection.
- Is SurfacePad for iPhone 5 compatible with the new iPhone 5s?
Yes, SurfacePad for iPhone 5 is fully compatible with the recently released iPhone 5s.
- Can I remove and then re-install SurfacePad for iPhone?
Absolutely. SurfacePad can be removed and reinstalled many times. This makes it convenient to switch between multiple colors of SurfacePad, or to temporarily use an activity-specific case.

You are not required to have technical skills related to Web programming to build a website using this CMS.
openTCS is a platform-independent transportation control system (TCS) intended to control automatic guided vehicles (AGVs), but which can be used to steer virtually any (track-guided) vehicle. It consists of an abstract kernel which implements replaceable algorithms and strategies (computation of routes, dispatching of orders to vehicles, scheduling of resources, etc.), pluggable vehicle drivers which implement communication protocols, and a graphical frontend for creating and visualizing logical models of areas the vehicles are moving in.
The ghostream project is centered around defining a new era of software development. The aim is to enable developers to rapidly produce high throughput, low latency systems capable of processing billions of events a day. ghostream inverts the typical relationship developers have with data. Without access to all the data at once, developers have to consider which parts of the data they absolutely need to arrive at a particular goal. Because of the need to keep the system moving, hanging on to data is an anti-pattern, forcing developers to consider how to take advantage of the data as quickly as possible. This results in components and systems that are scalable, fault tolerant, and uniquely suited for distributed environments.
The Noble Ape Simulation is a collection of a number of autonomous simulation components including a landscape simulation, biological simulation, weather simulation, sentient creature (Noble Ape) simulation, and a simple intelligent-agent scripting language (ApeScript). Noble Ape also contains a social simulation where the Noble Apes can be tracked in terms of social groups and also over many generations to explain social phenomenon to users looking to study this kind of interaction. It has been in development for more than a fifteen years.
NimBorg is a library for accessing Lua and Python libraries from within Nimrod code. It wraps the C API of these languages with macros which make the code far more readable than the low-level API, and also automatically handles the memory management interface of these languages so that objects aren't deallocated as long as they're accessible from your Nimrod code.
Portable Computing Language (pocl) aims to become an efficient implementation of the OpenCL standard. In addition to producing an easily-portable Open Source implementation, another major goal of the project is improving performance portability of OpenCL programs with compiler optimizations, reducing the need for target-dependent manual optimizations. At the core of pocl is a set of LLVM passes used to statically parallelize multiple work items with the kernel compiler, even in the presence of work group barriers. This enables parallelization of the fine-grained static concurrency in the work groups in multiple ways (SIMD, VLIW, superscalar, etc.). The code base is modularized to allow easy adding of new "device drivers" in the host-device layer. A generic multithreaded "target driver" is included. It allows running OpenCL applications on a host which supports the pthread library with multithreading at the work group granularity.
Langer is an object oriented, rule based programming language. Its interpreter is shipped as a Python library. It was created to express behavior strategies, has a simple syntax based on languages like Python and C, and was designed to be convenient and readable for a programmer, but it can be easily used in genetic programming as well.
Qore PostgreSQL Module is a DBI driver module for the Qore programming language to communicate with PostgreSQL databases. The PostgreSQL driver transparently handles client and server character encodings, supports multi-threading, transaction management, stored procedure execution, and more.

Functional Foods for a Heart-Healthy Eating Plan
Healthy Oils, Healthy Fats: The 'New' Truth
New research has overturned some long-held ideas about good fats and bad fats. It used to be gospel truth: Saturated fat is bad. But new studies suggest that saturated fats in moderation may not be so hard on your heart after all. What's more, replacing saturated fats with the wrong foods -- such as the refined carbohydrates in white bread, white rice, pastries, candies, and desserts -- may actually raise the danger to your heart.
Here are five ways to fit fats and oils into your heart-healthy diet.
Don't Obsess Over Saturated Fat
Health experts told us to eat less saturated fat when they found that it raises LDL, the "bad" cholesterol. That advice made perfect sense. High LDL is linked to heart disease.
The focus on saturated fat alone may have been misguided. "We now know there are many other important [factors] for heart disease risk," says Dariush Mozaffarian, MD, of the Harvard School of Public Health.
When you look at all of the factors together, he says saturated fat isn't as bad as once thought. Indeed, reviewing the evidence, Mozaffarian and his colleague Renata Micha found that levels of saturated fat have very little impact on cardiovascular risk.
Americans eat about 11.5% of calories from saturated fat. If we cut that roughly in half, to 6.5%, we might lower our risk of heart disease by only about 10%, says Mozaffarian.
Unfortunately, during the low-fat craze, many people replaced saturated fat with fat-free products that were high in refined carbohydrates. That switch may end up increasing your risk for heart problems.
So can you eat as much butter and cheese as you like? No. The American Heart Association still recommends that no more than 7% of all your calories come from saturated fat, which is mainly found in fatty meats and dairy foods.
Choose Heart Healthy Plant-Based Oils
Most experts still agree that it's smart to swap out some saturated fats with unsaturated fats. Olive oil and canola oil are better choices than butter, for instance.
But there's plenty of debate about the healthiest type of oil. Vegetable oils typically mix two types: polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats. Olive oil is mostly a monounsaturated fats. Corn and soybean oil are mostly polyunsaturated. Canola oil is unusual among vegetable oils because it has omega-3- fatty acids, like those found in fish oil.
For now, the best bet is to use a variety of plant-based oils. That's good advice for cooking and flavor, as well.
Olive oil, with its rich flavor, is great for salad dressings, for drizzling over pasta, or dipping bread. Peanut oil and sesame oil also have rich flavors. But all three of these oils lose flavor and smoke when at high temperatures. Canola and sunflower oil are better for cooking because they have high smoke points. Also, canola oil has very little flavor of its own, so it won't overwhelm other ingredients.

Welcome to SouthBeachDiet.com, where you'll find the tools and support you need to lose weight, feel better, and live a longer, healthier, and happier life.
If you love food as much as I do, you know that losing weight—and keeping it off—isn't always easy. But the good news is, you don't have to starve yourself to achieve permanent weight loss and gain better health. On the South Beach Diet you will enjoy three nutritious and delicious meals a day, at least two satisfying snacks, and even dessert.
But more important, you'll learn that the South Beach Diet goes well beyond the dining table and a number on your scale.
Your Total Solution for Healthy Living
Today we know that maintaining a healthy weight is just part of the equation when it comes to optimal health. In addition to feeding your body what it needs to feel good day in and day out—nutrient-dense, fiber-rich carbohydrates (from vegetables, fruits, legumes, and whole grains), healthy unsaturated fats (like olive oil and canola oil), and plenty of lean protein—you also need to exercise regularly and get adequate, quality sleep. Every day new studies show that this combination is critical, not just for permanent weight loss, but for preventing a host of acute and chronic diseases.
On the South Beach Diet we embrace all of these healthy lifestyle habits as part of our total solution for healthy living. If you pay attention to all three, you'll not only lose weight, you will also lower your risk for heart disease, prediabetes, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, age-related macular degeneration, and even some types of cancer. You can also improve your blood pressure and stabilize your blood sugar, lower LDL ("bad") cholesterol and triglycerides (fats that circulate in the blood), and raise HDL ("good") cholesterol.
The Gold Standard
Today the South Beach Diet is the brand more people turn to for the good health and trimmer shape they crave. And as new research comes to light, we continue to evolve. For example, I have found that so many of my patients feel better when they become gluten aware (and stop devouring the entire bread basket!) or when they try a vegetarian way of eating, that I am encouraging them to keep it up. In other words, our South Beach Diet principles can easily encompass the way you prefer to eat.
Let's Start Together
I wish I could see all of you in my office to give you a personal pep talk, but that's just not possible. Thanks to SouthBeachDiet.com, however, I am connected to you. Take some time to check out our website and please take advantage of the weight loss tools, great recipes, customized meal plans, exercise program, and support from registered dietitians and a vibrant community of South Beach Diet followers available to you.
And remember, the journey to permanent weight loss and better health begins with a simple first step. I wish you success.
Preventive cardiologist, creator of the South Beach Diet, and author of The South Beach Diet, The South Beach Diet Supercharged, The South Beach Diet Super Quick Cookbook, The South Beach Wake-Up Call, and numerous other books.

I'm surprised that none of Gregg Araki's films got mentioned, "The Doom Generation", "Nowhere", or I suppose even "Mysterious Skin" could go there. "The Doom Generation" was one of the biggest films for me in terms of rebellion, crazed, and out there.

Oops...you missed two others of Reese Witherspoon that I admire more than "Freeway": "Man in the Moon", and "Fear" (pairing her with Mark Wahlberg). Also, how about "Cruel Intentions", and Joseph Gordon-Levitt's "Mysterious Skin" (a real classic)?

Agreed Dan. Right when I saw the headline I thought "Over the Edge"
MAL | March 12, 2013 3:01 PM
Glad you have "Thirteen" on your list. I found it practically unwatchable but not because I didn't think it was excellent -- I have a daughter and I found this movie extremely disturbing as I thought of her growing up!
I'm surprised you didn't mention The River's Edge.

Over the Edge (1979)

Out of the Blue (1980)

The Steubenville rape case isn't over yet.The Steubenville High School football player Ma'lik Richmond, who was convicted Sunday of sexually assaulting a 16-year-old, will appeal his guilty verdict arguing "that the 16-year-old rapist's brain wasn't 'developed' enough" so he "should not have to be on a sex offenders list for life," The Atlantic Wire reports.
Since Sunday, many bloggers have reminded anyone critical of the sentencing in this case that the victim -- who Richmond and Trent Mays raped in August -- will have to live with what was done to her for the rest of her life. Some might take from that, then, that Mays and Richmond should be branded as perpetrators for the rest of their lives as well. I'm not sure I agree that these boys should be on a sex offenders registry for life, but I'm not sure they shouldn't be, either. I was moved by the points in this post by Black Girl Dangerous wherein she talks about the failings of the criminal justice system to rehabilitate offenders, but I also believe that these boys were treated fairly by being tried as juveniles and given a fair sentence in juvenile detention. Perhaps they should be given a chance to start fresh when they turn 21. I think that's worth considering. What I don't think is worth considering, however, is appealing the guilty verdict.

There is no doubt in the public or the judge's mind that everyone involved in the drugging and gang assault of this young girl is guilty. The social media evidence in this case is shockingly graphic and leaves no room for doubt. Richmond's lawyer knows that his client is guilty, so he's going to appeal using brain development as a last-ditch-effort technicality. While it's true that the human brain isn't fully formed until about age 25, that's no excuse not to hold teenagers accountable for their actions. Richmond's lawyer certainly believes that, considering he tried to hold a girl who was drunk and drugged accountable for being dragged from party to party that fateful night, alleging that she was functional enough to make decisions. That perverse logic is so sickening, and then to fully flip the script and say his client's brain isn't developed enough for him to know what he was doing is even more abhorrent, but it should come as no surprise in our bully culture or rape culture -- or whatever you want to call it. We all recognize now that America is a land filled with sad, weak, angry, entitled and selfish narcissists who will say whatever they want -- constantly contradicting themselves and being hypocritical -- to get their desired result, which is the ability to do whatever they want without being held accountable.
I have thought about this and talked about this and written about the narcissist-victim dynamic every single day for the past several years, and I have felt a lot of grief and despair and helplessness and hopelessness over it. Recently, though, the tides have turned, and I don't feel helpless anymore. I don't have to -- because I see all of the brilliantly brave, wonderful, kind and strong people willing to stick their necks out for the common good. One example is Alexandria Goddard, the blogger who first broke the story of the Steubenville case and caught the country's eye. Goddard spent hours taking screen shots of the very evidence used to convict the perpetrators of this heinous crime. Then there are people like Katie McDonough, at Salon, who wrote this article asking why Steubenville head football coach Reno Saccoccia hasn't been fired even though he knew about the rape and didn't report it, which is a crime in Ohio. The hacks at anonymous who pushed the Steubenville story to a new level. The people of Occupy Wall Street. Parents who tour the country fighting bullying in schools. This dying soldier who is calling out the leaders who sent him to Iraq for their lies and flagrant abuse of power. I could list so many more examples. People everywhere are waking up and taking a stand against narcissistic abuse. The imbalance of power and wealth in this country cannot and will not last forever.
What will help this process of cultural awakening is for more and more people to understand what narcissism really is and where it stems from. Bullies and rapists don't come from nowhere. We live in a culture that supports bullies and rapists because we live in a highly competitive, capitalist society. I'm not going to bother to try to dismantle free-market capitalism right now because: 1.) I don't have the economic knowledge to do it, and 2.) I don't need to to further my point. I mention our economic and business construct simply to remind you of the overall tone of the culture that we live in -- the "dog-eat-dog" world that we exist in.
When people feel threatened in a stressful, competitive environment, they react in one of two ways: They retreat, or they attack. This is very basic stuff. What we don't fully seem to understand yet but what Americans of all stripes are really becoming aware of, is that what narcissists do after they attack is deflect responsibility. They shift blame. It's a very child-like way to behave.
"Sweetie, did you write on the wall with crayon?" "No, the dog did it."
That argument is really no different than, "Ma'lik, did you rape that girl?" "No. My body did it, but my brain didn't."
Now, narcissists will not allow YOU -- their victims -- the same type of out when it comes to holding you accountable. Girls are raped because their skirts are too short, they're too drunk, they're not protecting themselves, they're whores, etc. Narcissists are -- in their own minds -- never responsible for anything they do. It is always someone else's fault that they behave badly. Often criminally. Sometimes murderously.
And how they get away with this rationale -- how they snow us all into pitying them and believing them -- is because they use the compassion they know we feel to try to manipulate themselves into seeming innocent. So, for example, in the Jodi Arias trial, where we know she brutally murdered her ex-boyfriend, Arias is claiming he raped her, and psychologists for the defense claim that she had PTSD, and that's why she killed him. Arias knows that compassionate, conscience-bound people don't like to see women raped, so she's using what is most likely a lie to try to deflect responsibility for murdering a man. (To quote CBS News: "She faces the death penalty if convicted of first-degree murder in the June 2008 death of Travis Alexander in his suburban Phoenix home. Authorities say she planned the attack in a jealous rage. Arias initially told authorities she had nothing to do with it then blamed it on masked intruders. Two years after her arrest, she said it was self-defense." See also Casey Anthony.) Narcissists know that "good" people are reticent to see someone punished undeservedly, so they exploit that weakness and constantly wiggle their way out of trouble.
The good news is, people have had enough. We are not without compassion, but we are not going to stand for unchecked abuses any longer.
I, too, have compassion for most of the narcissists I see featured in all of these news stories that stream across our feeds day in and day out. As I said, they're not created out of nowhere. The entire town of Steubenville for generations has taught its boys that they are heroes and that they should rape and pillage and that if they don't they're not adequate men. In other words, people are bullied into becoming bullies. Their souls are transformed into rapists. I'm not trying to give anyone a pass. I'm simply arguing that if we really want change in the atmosphere of this nation -- if we want to relate to one another differently, in a more compassionate way -- we have got to start to be honest about what we think, what we feel and what we learned. We have to examine it and dismantle it, and see the garbage parts for what they are, throw them out and move forward. We have to be willing to help people grow. We have to encourage people to seek professional help -- therapy, or whatever may be -- and to speak up if that's what they feel they need. We have to stop being snarky, demanding and demeaning all the time. I'm not saying we can't use boisterous and passionate and rough-hewn language -- I mean, if I'm anything, it's a woman of the people, the salt of the earth. But I learned to be a rough-and-tumble kind of gal from my dad, a man who had the biggest heart of anyone I have ever met. He taught me that comedy and commentary -- even when it's critical -- always comes from a place of love. He taught me that you don't have to hate in order to want things to be better. He showed me that hating the people who disappoint you isn't necessary, and he proved that wanting things to be better meant that you actually cared about people and life.
It's easy to understand, though, why hurt so quickly turns to hate. And this is how I think narcissists are born. A small child is picked on, neglected, hit, screamed at, whatever it is. No one is listening to him. He is alone. He doesn't know how to express his feelings of abandonment. He is sad. That sadness turns to anger, and left unchecked it eventually morphs into the kind of seething, seeping loathing that created a culture replete with self-involved people. People who think: "I want what's mine. Mine. Give it to me. Give me something. And if you don't, I'm just gonna take it. Because that's what you get."
If we don't stop forgetting in fray of the crazed day-to-day that we are human so we can help each other all act humanely, not like anti-social monsters, we will be done in by the business of our own busy-ness. It is not too much to ask to offer time to one another. It is the only thing that matters.
I am not delusional here. I have done a lot of reading about what some healers call the "core wounds" of individuals and of our society at large. I know that what happens is that after a certain point, some hardened criminals, some of the emotionally wounded who are filled to the brim with self-loathing, and therefore loathing for everyone around them, are beyond hope of rehabilitation. At least for now. Because we haven't really examined this giant scourge that plagues us -- this very basic lack of fundamental love. That's really all it is. Love, acceptance, encouragement, friendship, kindness, compassion: These are the things that keep us healthy. These are the things that keep us whole. I will never stop standing up for universal love and healing, even when bullies and rapists and narcissists will say that I am bullying them by doing so, by preventing them from trying to fill the hole with whatever they want. I don't believe that anymore. I'm no longer fooled by manipulative, sick logic. I pray that we all continue to move forward in fighting the good fight, knowing that we don't have to believe what isn't true, and we don't have to be scared to speak truth to power -- ultimately, to acknowledge what is right and what is wrong.
Ma'lik Richmond and Trent Mays, along with their friends, parents, teachers, coaches and drug suppliers are all guilty of raping that girl. Let us let what she has been through for the past eight months mean something. When will we stop making a mockery of pain? When will we stop hurting each other because we feel hurt and then pretend that nothing is wrong? Everything is wrong, guys. But we can still make it right.

Thirty-three Cub Scouts in Pack 2 in Barrington will compete this afternoon at 1 pm at the 60th-annual Pinewood Derby at the middle school.
The nationwide, annual competition actually began weeks ago with Scouts given kits that include blocks of pine, nails for axles and wheels. Different axles and wheels can be used, and working with an adult, they create own signature designs and transform the wood into model cars.
The cars cannot weigh more than 5 ounces. If a car exceeds the weight limit, it has to be shaved.
Most of the Scouts name their cars.
The cars are judged on originality of design and, of course, tested for speed. Through successive time trials, three winning entries and an alternate will be selected to move on to the Rhode Island regional competition in March.
A webcam also will film the cars in "ultra slow motion" for everyone to see after the race. The entire competition probably won't take more than an hour. It is open to the public.
