The Prisoner : Based on the highly acclaimed 1960s television show, Thomas M. Disch's novelization of The Prisoner has become a cult classic in its own right. A story that combines elements of a spy thriller with the Orwellian tropes of science fiction, The Prisoner follows a former British secret agent who has quit the force, only to find himself trapped in an anonymous place called the Village. Known only as "Number 6," he struggles to maintain his individual identity in the face of the nameless powers-that-be, who use increasingly sophisticated and terrifying methods in order to extract his secrets. First published in 1968, by an author widely regarded to be a master of the science fiction genre, The Prisoner will appeal to longtime fans of the show as well as those who are discovering it for the first time.

Mark Pilling, Editor of Airline Business and David Field, Americas Editor of Airline Business review this year's conference in San Diego. The general feeling was that open skies would be a smaller issue than expected, but it nonetheless got a lot of attention. Similarly, the fear factor associated with mergers among US airlines from only two weeks ago has abated.
But the industry still faces tremendous threats from rising fuel prices. Yet airports are watching closely for opportunities and any nuances from airlines. The consensus from airline panel discussions was somewhat downcast; and airports generally were more sanguine. There is not much they can do about oil, but they still will fight for traffic and service.

Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, Mr. Holt is a graduate of Rhodes College in Memphis. His television and film credits include Law and Order, Anne B. Real, Generation X, All My Children, and Autumn in New York.
Initially perceived as simply a critique of racial injustice, Richard Wright's fictionalized autobiography Black Boy, a classic in the tradition of Black writers bearing witness to oppression, details his own struggles with poverty and identity in Jim Crow America. As James Baldwin said of the novel, "Wright's unrelenting, bleak landscape was not merely that of the Deep South, or of Chicago, but that of the world, of the human heart."

When Dr. Venture gives Hank the injection, his sleeves are rolled down. Why (and how) would Dr. Venture give someone an injection through their clothes?
If Sally's skin turns invisible, why are her ears normal?
Richard: Halt! This area is restricted on the authority of the United States government!
Brock: I work for the government.
Richard: Uh...still, you're not coming in here.
Dr. Venture: Wait a minute, are you a hallucination?
Brock: Afraid not, Doc.
Dr. Venture: What, did you miss me? What the hell are you doing here?
Brock: Hank's a bomb...long story.
Dr. Venture: Oh, great, Venture! Thousands of square miles of empty arctic wasteland and you somehow manage to step in the one spot of yellow snow!
Hank: Dude, what is with you!? Why are you so calm about this?!?
Dean: Because, Hank, we're not just any poor suckers, we're the Venture Brothers. Our dad's a super genius, with, like, chemistry stuff. He can fix this no prob.
Brock: Dean, we don't even know where your dad is. He's sequestered in some secret think tank, and this is, well, this is kinda outta his league, honestly...
Dean: We're all gonna die!!!
Hank: Nice spyclothes, douche
Dean: What? I didn't have any black, I figured cowboy - next best thing to spies, right?
Dean: Brock, I think I figured out why the plane crashed - there were skeletons driving it!
Hank: Hey Brock, how would you (kill me)?
Brock: You're asleep. Quick jerk of the neck. Never feel a thing.
Hank: You've thought about this.
Brock: Yes I have.
Hank: Cool! I'm not going to explode anymore. And plus - free invisible mom.
Hank and Dean: Go Team Venture!
Mr. White: It's like wearing nothing at all. Like a second skin.
Dr. Venture: Ummm, you've got a little something brown on your nose.
The Impossible Family are obvious spoofs of the Fantastic Four. Even the car used by Richard Impossible to drop off Dr. Venture is a knockoff of the Fantastic Four's classic "Fantasticar."
Just before Professor Impossible enters, Dr. Venture is doodling on a piece of paper. It only comes up for a moment, but you can see it. You can see the following snippets, most accompanied by pictures: Joy Cube, Joy Can (with the word "Bad" next to it), The Momy Place, Dean, and a rather unflattering doodle of Professor Impossible, "Company Policy, blah blah, company policy!"
Race Bannon's "License to Kill" displays the following:
No. 09268-2722-561
Name Race Bannon
Clearance Level 9
Race Bannon was a regular cast member of Johnny Quest, one of the shows that the Venture Brothers spoofs.
When Dr. Impossible's wife finds Dr. Venture in the snow, the music from Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance plays.
Monarch and Doctor Girlfriend do not appear in this episode.
Ratings: finally The Venture Brothers makes the top 3 for Saturday with 290,000.
The snake garbed men Race Bannon defeats are a cross between two Marvel Comics villain organizations, HYDRA and the Serpent Society. In addition, the term "Snake Men" has been used by He-Man and the Masters of the Universe since such characters were first introduced to the original toyline in the mid 80's.
Master Billy Quizboy, Mr. White, and Professor Impossible first appeared in The Terrible Secret of Turtle Bay where they were credited as "Hydrocephalic Child Scientist", "Albino Scientist", and "Solar Powered Car Scientist," respectively.
The suits designed by Professor Impossible feature a letter i enclosed in a circle logo similar to the super hero costumes in Disney's Pixar Animation Studios 2004 film, The Incredibles. Also the suits themselves are of the same design with the only difference being Professor Impossible's suits are blue with white gloves and black boots and The Incredibles' are red with black gloves and boots.

Graeme Hart Tops New Zealand's Business Review Rich List Again
Graeme Hart, owner of the world's second-largest drink-carton maker, retained his position as New Zealand's richest person, with an estimated NZ$5.5 billion ($4 billion), according to National Business Review's 2010 Rich List.
Hart's wealth was unchanged from a year earlier, the Review said. He has topped the list in eight of the past nine years. This year he used Reynolds Group Holdings Inc. to bring together a number of his packaging interests and a New Zealand mill.
Second on the list is the Todd family, with an estimated NZ$2.7 billion, up from NZ$2.6 billion in 2009, through closely held Todd Corp. They have interests in New Zealand's largest oil and gas fields, as well as in media and coal mining.
Eamon Cleary, who owns Southland dairy farms and commercial property in Queenstown, is worth an estimated NZ$2 billion and ranks third on the list. Lynette Erceg, who sold her late husband Michael's Independent Distiller Group company in 2006 and has reinvested in wine and property, is fourth with NZ$1.5 billion, the Review said.
Brothers Richard and Christopher Chandler are fifth with a combined fortune of NZ$2.8 billion, the Review said. Their Dubai, United Arab Emirates-based Sovereign Global Investment Ltd. invested in real estate, banking and oil refining before being split between the two in 2006.
The 2010 list includes 150 entrants with a combined wealth of NZ$38 billion, down from NZ$38.7 billion last year.

Taylor Momsen Is 80 Percent Leg
We sense a plot twist on 'Gossip Girl.' Jenny gets into cutting!
Since we are such awkwardly rabid fans of Gossip Girl, today's Observer profile of Taylor Momsen doesn't teach us much that we didn't already know. It's mostly a recap of the role that her character, Jenny, plays on the show. But we did appreciate this little tidbit about Lil J's ten-foot-long legs (it's true, we've seen them in person, they account for at least two-thirds of her body mass):
Her legs are epic, long and stretching out from here to forever — and, she pointed out, covered with nicks and cuts. "They take up most of my body, and I'm not used to coordinating them," she said. (She did, in fact, later trip on the sidewalk, and she still seemed embarrassed when she told the story of her grand entrance her first day on the Gossip Girl set when she wiped out before she could even say her name.)
"Covered with nicks and cuts"? We don't buy the "clumsy" cover-up — this is clearly a plot point. After last season's dizzying highs and terrifying lows, it was inevitable that the Gossip Girl writers would have Jenny venture into that most patrician of teen girl practices: self-harm.

The maximum torque values in computer analysis and experiment in the switched reluctance motor (SRM), having competitive torque density and efficiency with respect to the rare-earth permanent magnet motor employed in the 2009 Toyota Prius, have been compared. The SRM is highly saturated to provide the maximum torque for a short time; thus, the torque value tends to have considerable error of 15% even in the 3D FEM analysis with respect to experimental result because of the incomplete material setting. A comparison of the flux-linkage and current is also provided for consideration. The results of the 2D-FEM and 3D-FEM analysis as well as a test machine are presented. The maximum torque in the 3D-FEM analysis is shown to be within errors of 5.0% with respect to that in the test machine.

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Don Dion posts his current insights on the stock, bond, commodity and currency markets in his RealMoney blog, anticipating which ETFs will be in play next. Among his blogs this week were the following, in which he wrote about developments in energy ETFs, Europe and Korea ETFs, and improving relations between Turkey and Armenia. Breakout for Energy ETFs? Posted 10/16/2009 2:56 p.m. EDT Gasoline inventories declined by 5.2 million barrels last week, while analysts had expected an increase. Crude oil inventories increased by 0.4 million barrels, but it was overshadowed by the big decline in gasoline and a smaller decline in distillates, which includes heating oil. Refinery utilization is down for maintenance and that could mean a few more weeks of inventory declines. Nevertheless, gasoline inventory is 15.4 million barrels above 2008 levels at this time, distillates are 48.6 million barrels above last year's levels, and crude oil inventories are 29.6 million barrels higher. Equity investors followed the pop in oil yesterday by pushing up the price of energy ETFs. Energy Select SPDR ( XLE) gained 2% to close at its highest level since October 2008. Shares of refiner Tesoro ( TSO) gained 8.6%, and Valero ( VLO) advanced 7.1%. iShares Dow Jones U.S. Oil & Gas Exploration & Production ( IEO) is the ETF with the largest exposure to TSO at 0.83%; it gained 1.9% yesterday. IEO also has the largest exposure to VLO, at 3.02%. We've seen natural gas, crude oil and now gasoline jump and plunge based on large, unexpected swings in inventories. It is partially due to economic data that provides a mixed picture of the economy, along with huge amounts of liquidity created by the Federal Reserve. Prev 0 of 3 Next

You already know how to make the music. You've got the songs, the instruments, and the skills; now it's time to sort through equipment options to create your live setup. When you invest in a complete PA package, you can save time and money while being sure all the components are perfectly suited to work together to achieve your audio goals. Mackie live sound packages come complete with a mixer, speakers, microphones and all the cables you need to set up and get playing, right out of the box.
For ease of use and a compact size yet all the power necessary for smaller shows, the Mackie ProFX12 / TH-15A PA Package is a solid option to consider. The professional compact mixer offers six mono and four stereo channels with a selection of effects, and the USB I/O lets you plug in your laptop to record your performance or stream audio. Meanwhile, the included powered 15-inch speakers deliver deep low-end and clear high-frequency sound at once.
The rugged Mackie PPM1008 / C300z PA Package packs just the right tools for gigging, presentations, and other mid-level performance situations you might encounter. The compact mixer boasts eight mono and two stereo channels and just the right selection of effects to do the job without going overboard. Meanwhile, the steel casing protects your electronics from the hazards of frequent setup and teardown, transporting and bar gigs.
In order to achieve the ultimate sound, however, you need the ultimate setup, like the Mackie Onyx 24.4 / HAD / HD 1501 PA Package. Featuring two 12-inch two-way HD powered loudspeakers and two 1200-watt powered subwoofers with pole mounts, this setup delivers clear, professional-quality sound. Meanwhile, the 24-channel mixer with premium Onyx mic preamps to support the two included Audio-Technica M400S handheld dynamic microphones.
All artists are on a journey and, no matter the next stage or venue you encounter, Mackie live sound packages offer an option that's right for you. From combo speakers to subs and loudspeakers, or from an eight-channel mixer all the way up to 24, the perfect package has been preassembled by Mackie to ensure your next gig goes off without a hitch.

Vastu Shastra North Street Focus House Factory
If one street strikes North of the property that street is called as North Street Focus or Road thrust and that house is called as North street focus house. Some says that this is not good, some says that this is good, which one is correct, let us check the below images.
Observe this image :
Here observe the street is hitting one house, this street is coming from North direction, so this street is called as North street focus and the house is called as North street focus house. How can we came to know that this street is giving good results or bad results to the property. There are some methods to observe the genuine of the road hit. Expert Vastu Consultant can easily identified the results of this street focus.
Please note that if there is any such kind of street focus property / house / plot / Factory / Office was for sale, don't buy immediately, first search for one best vastu consultant and there after decides to buy or leave it. We should observe many things before evaluate this property, coz this property is having middle focus. Please go through below to understand better on this subject.
Observe this image :
Same house and same street focus, but changes appears in formation, this street is little tilted towards Northwest, and touching the house exactly at North center point as same as above image. But results are vary.
One factory owner bought a site and constructed the house, after joining the house and two years later he lost so much of his hard earned money and was in debts, previously he is having full of cash in hand. Its only because of North street focus, blame fixed to that vastu consultant and North street focus, later he called us and we visited the property and found this street focus, he said that that is North street focus and read in many books that North street focus is good one and giving benevolent results to the inhabitants. Now what happened, this is the exact position or facts of the site and road. That is why we are insisting our readers and public, better to approach one best vaastu consultant and get his consultancy before buying the property. Don't approach quacks in the market, their service charges may be cheap but your future security is important for you.
Another Image :
Almost road shula is same when comparing with the above images, but here street just tilted towards Northeast, is this road hit is good or bad. Generally this focus blesses with good results when compare with the above two images. But here we should be very cautious about surroundings, if there is good structures towards West and South parts then this street hit turns like a Northeast-north focus and residents will enjoy with good money and enjoying their life.
Another Image :
We are discussing only one street focus i.e., North road thrust, please observe how many types are there. Small change in formation, adjoining with other roads, possibility of change in results. Some times positive may become negative and some times negative become positive etc. Shortly we will discuss more types of Street focuses and will expand the links with latest research information taken notes from 1992 September.
This house is having the same North street thrust, but t is dead end to the house and later turns to West direction. Before going to say some thing about this house means it has to be personally verified. If any resident requires urgent opinion on this property without any surroundings vastu information then (timid results) "not to buy" is the "good decision" , please note that this decision has to taken only when the site is 90 degrees. If the house is not exactly according to 90 degrees then the decision should be postponed and should require to observe the boundaries information otherwise lie idle. Please note that we are discussing this street focus when the turn is exactly as what we are looking, if the turn is like half circled before house, then no second thought just postpone of consideration is best idea.
Another Image :
This house is having North street focus and the same was dead end before this house and moved towards East direction. This is good house, if South is filled with properties then this is good one. You are well known that the main entrance of the house is too important, when one property is having street focus, there is a great changes happens in regard with doors. Northeast doors are good, you are well known of it, but here that system may be ruled out. If the doors will have in good placement then the life will become progressive.
Another Image :
The above property is also seems like this one. But this North originated road is not exactly 90 degrees, it was tilted. There is a difference in between this image and the above image. Coming to this street focus this may not provide good results to the property though this street is moving towards East next to this house, we should be very cautious when the street is tilted.
Another Image :
These are the rare properties, but in some towns / cities we can observe these types of properties. What about this property, is this provides good or bad results. How can we say good or bad to this property, One road hits from Northeast-north which is excellent and one road hits the property from Northwest-north which is bad. Now how can we consider the property is good or bad. Coming to the point this is bad one, because the virtual North was lost here. Remedies are there, but it should be confirmed by only one expert vasthu pandit. He can easily handle the issue after observing the surroundings.
Another Image :
Complete North road and North street focus to the property. This property is not a bad one, but it should be decided only after observing the neighborhood vastu only. South floor elevation is good for this property. Be cautious regarding main entrance gate and door.
Another Image / Flash files :
Please observe the below flash files, this is important to understand about North street focus properties. Here you may understand the logic behind the North street focus.
East of the thrusting streets there are houses leaving NNW side open. This is one of the most destructive situations in vastu, if a house suffers such a situations it is difficult for the residents to enjoy the beneficial effects of northern street thrust. In such an event the only solution is that the house be fully vastu compliant, thereby bad effects (Matter from www.subhavaastu.com website) may be warded off or their influences greatly reduced. Otherwise the residents may have to suffer NW street thrust effects. A competent vastu scholar would be in a position to suggest suitable remedial measures. However self medication should be avoided at all costs.
Observe this flash file :
This flash file situation is exactly opposite to the above flash file which shows with red color filled in the house, , here heavy construction is seen to the west of the thrusting street leaving eastern portion free, this is as good as having Northeast street thrust about which we have already studied. Even so house should be fully vastu compliant for undiminished benefits.
Houses are filled either side of the road, Either side of the street leaving the effects of Northern street thrust as it is. As long as such street thrusts are strictly within the North of the house / plot it bestows good results, however even when it shifts slightly to the West of the street it will have the bad effects of NNW street thrust.
Northern Street Thrust Benefits :
1. Increased financial gains
2. Mental tranquility
3. If in addition, southern portion / area of the house (and beyond) is at higher level there may be multiple businesses
4. Contented life
5. Residents must ensure that there be vacant area to the East side of the house or else it is possible that men folk will be always harrased, facing sharp exchanges etc. (Matter from www.subhavaastu.com website). There will be female dominance
6. At times the men folk will run away from home or there will be complianing to the parents of the wife.
7. Girl children would have good education
8. Ladies of the house would have good name in the society
Some Precautions
1. have a round pit dug in the northeast area of the house
2. towards the south side build a strong platform adjoining southern wall.
3. plant strong trees in the southern side
4. ensure that the northern area is at a level lower than the southern side
5. there may be built a sloping verandah (sloping towards north) from northeast upto the street thrust portion (ensure that the NE construction is full without breaking of NE side)
6. if there be first floor it should completely occupy southern area leaving northern side only open.
7. It is better to have open area towards east. This will give name and fame and prosperity to the residents.

We are Software Professionals in USA, Initially to buy a home we searched internet, sent floor plans to India, then one of my friend suggested subhavaastu.com site, I was very impressed going through the site ,lot of information was provided, I contacted immediately Suresh garu for consultation. Being so busy he always responds to my emails and phone calls, clarified my doubts, He is so expert in giving consultation to USA properties. I feel him like a family member very frank, genuine and most of all patience. He do have immense knowledge in abroad properties, Indian properties by default. Anyone can give guidance, but he gives consultation with practicality not just some text book guidelines. He knows in and out how the structure, layout works and will give simple alterations, genuine Consultation. I have to salute to the tremendous work and efforts he puts in subhavaastu.com site - Sangeetha - New Jersey - USA
The website Subhavaastu.com is very informative.Sureshji, the founder of this website is according to me a great ¨human who has vast knowledge in vastushastra and his kindness to his clients are appreciated. He listens to his clients problems patiently and gives the appropriate remedies. His main motto is good service and he responses as quick as possible. I spoke to Sureshji as a stranger only, but after one phone call itself , I started feeling that he is a caring well wisher for whoever asks his help. He is a genuine person. He doesn't force you to spend money in the name of vasthushastra, he explains clearly where the problem is and tries to give very easy changes to have a peaceful life. Sathya Priya - Switzerland.
We stay in USA, I was initially Searching Google for some vastu help,one of my friend recommended subhavaastu.com website. Very useful information indeed, I found lot of good and valuable information, as got more motivated I contacted Suresh garu through phone. First I would like to mention he is a such a wonderful person, talking to him is like reading different knowledgeable books, he is a mobile Library always with a patience, a kind heart. He being so busy attended my each and every call immediate response to emails and clarified all my doubts. Especially I am amazed with his knowledge in vasthu with USA properties,its easy for some vastu specialist to tell vasthu with standard guides, but Suresh garu tells vasthu according to the place and country. My sincere suggestion for all the people who are wandering for a good Vaastu person or site, www.subhavaastu.com contact Suresh garu take his consultancy - Sarvani - Massachusetts - USA.
Our recent interactions with SubhaVaastu and Sureshji have not only been insightful but also extremely educational. Having a home is a matter of great virtue - having the home Vaastu compliant ensures that the investment and the future of the family in the home is secure and ensures progress. Having gone through the website gave us a tremendous amount of insights on bring about improvements to enhance positive energy and ultimately ring in progress. In the US, most home builders do not consider Vaastu and hence most occupants/ home owners are unaware of the benefits. In my dealings with Sureshji and the website, I have found insights and resources that can be helpful for almost everyone in the US. I highly recommend Subhavaastu and Sureshji to the broader NRI community. I wish SubhaVaastu and Sureshji the very best. Regards - Sneha - Florida - USA.

Re-accreditation: A time for assessment and aspiration
by Allison Sylvest, University Communications
Re-accreditation is more than a formalized process to insure institutional credibility; it's an opportunity to assess our strengths and goals as a university.
Since 1913, CU-Boulder has been accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (NCA). The re-accreditation process takes place every 10 years and requires a comprehensive evaluation of our programs, policies and practices by a team of educational peers. At the end of this month, Feb. 22-24, the 14-member team will visit our campus to review the university as a whole and provide recommendations for continued improvement.
What should you expect from this visit?
"In the two-and-a-half day visit, approximately 30 meetings with site team members will take place," said Mary Jo White, senior advisor to the chancellor and project coordinator. "There will be some large group meetings with all site team members, but most meetings will be with small groups, focused on one of the five criteria for HLC/NCA accreditation."
The HLC/NCA evaluates the university in terms of its mission and the agency's standards or criteria. It assesses formal educational activities, governance and administration, financial stability, admissions and student services, institutional resources, student learning, institutional effectiveness, and relationships with internal and external constituencies.
The HLC/NCA Accreditation Criteria
CRITERION 1: Mission and Integrity
CRITERION 2: Preparing for the Future
CRITERION 3: Student Learning and Effective Teaching
CRITERION 4: Acquisition, Discovery and Application of Knowledge
CRITERION 5: Engagement and Service
"Within each criterion are components that were used to gather names of suggested CU-Boulder community members for the site team members to choose from to attend the smaller, focused meetings," said White. "Invitees are able to address these components from their professional work and areas of expertise. Participants include vice chancellors, department chairs, and faculty who are focused on key initiatives."
In addition to the structured meetings, the site team will hold four open forums on Monday, Feb. 22 from 3 to 3:50 p.m. in the UMC. Separate forums for faculty, staff, students, and alumni and external constituents will offer the opportunity to address the site team. The locations for each forum are in the sidebar of this article. The process is a unique opportunity for focused introspection about CU-Boulder's strengths and challenges, and a chance to gain feedback from the consultant-evaluator team. The team will also help advance the university by providing advice and advocacy relevant to its future challenges.
There are many materials that can give you a clearer picture of the process, what we hope to learn and how it will help to guide our goals for advancement and excellence into the future. The CU-Boulder accreditation website includes links to the self study report; a briefing document that supplies an explanation of the re-accreditation process; and a PDF of the presentation to the steering committee.
The detailed Self Study Report is intended to assist the site team, and summarizes the findings of CU-Boulder's self-study evaluation process. It is organized according to the five criteria established by the HLC/NCA. The report also poses questions about the university's future and was informed, in large part, by Flagship 2030, the long term strategic plan to redefine how we teach, discover and share knowledge for the benefit of Colorado, the nation and the world.

Osama Bin Laden Killed
U.S. Probing Whether Bin Laden Had Help From Within Pakistani Establishment
Steve Inskeep speaks with John Brennan
Asked if the U.S. believes that someone in the Pakistani establishment might have known that al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden was in Abbottabad, Pakistan, and helped him hide there, President Obama's counterterrorism adviser said today that "we need to dig deeper into this."
And, John Brennan said on Morning Edition that:
"It would be premature to rule out the possibility. ... We're not accusing anybody at this point, but we want to make sure we get to the bottom of this."
The U.S., Brennan told host Steve Inskeep, is looking at the question of who in Pakistan knew about bin Laden's presence "very closely right now."
There is "no indication at this point that the people (in the Pakistani government) we have talked to were aware," but that does not rule out the possibility that others in the establishment "knew about bin Laden's presence at the compound and provided support and helped maintain the secret." He said that Pakistani officials the U.S. has been dealing with also want answers.
Brennan made the rounds of several morning news shows today to talk about the U.S. raid that resulted in bin Laden's death on Sunday, the investigation into how long he had been in Abbottabad and what the U.S. has learned from the intelligence it seized during the mission.
Pakistani officials, on All Things Considered and in op-eds (including this morning in The Washington Post) have said their government did not know where bin Laden was.
Brennan also said on Morning Edition that the U.S. believes al-Qaida's No. 2, Ayman al-Zawahiri, "is in the same area of Southwest Asia, whether it's in Pakistan or Afghanistan."
And Brennan said that U.S. officials "may release photos" of bin Laden. "What we don't want to do is release anything that might be misunderstood or cause other problems," he added.

Book cheap car hire in Bulgaria and enjoy this fascinating country at your own pace whether you're here for a ski or beach holiday.
Click Here to get a car hire quote
Whilst not a common tourist destination, Bulgaria has a lot going for it. It's home to some stunning beaches and mountain ranges, wonderful old towns and cities filled with charming architecture, and unspoiled alpine forests. Bulgaria really is a fascinating country to explore in depth.
If you're looking for sun and sand, head to the beaches of the Black Sea. Here you'll find some luxury resorts, more modest offerings, and all the water activities you could wish for. If you're a hiker or skier, head to the Pirin Mountains for the most dramatic views and experiences. Here you'll find the famous ski resort of Bansko, alternatively you could head to Pamporovo in the Rhodopi Mountains or the Rila Mountain's Borovets.
We want to make your trip to Bulgaria as relaxing and enjoyable as possible. Rent a car in Bosnia and we'll provide you with breakdown assistance and unlimited mileage.
Our UK head office is open 6 days a week and we also operate an emergency 24 hour back up service. You can rest assured that we're always at your service with the best value car hire in Bulgaria! We're even open on Bank Holidays should you need us.
We work with suppliers at both the major Bulgarian airports and smaller locations around the country. You'll never be far from one of our locations!
Sofia Airport – A relaxed and interesting city, the capital of Sofia is home to some wonderful Orthodox churches such as the St Alexander Nevsky Cathedral whose green domes dominate the surrounding area. If you're more interested in Ottoman mosques, the Banya Bashi mosque is a fabulous example and was built over a natural thermal spa. If you're here for the skiing, the stunning Rhodope, Rila, and Vitosha Mountains are all just short drives away.
Plovdiv Airport – History is a central theme for the city of Plovdiv although its stunning location is a close second. Surrounded by a number of hills, 4 are of particular interest and worth exploring. The old town has been restored to its former 19th century glories and there are reminders of Roman, Thracian, and Byzantine influences, including the still used Roman amphitheatre.
Varna Airport - Perfectly placed to explore the Black Sea coastline, Varna is perhaps the most interesting resort in the area with its Roman baths and fascinating museums. If you'd rather get out and about, the Golden Sands (or Zlatni Pyasâtsi) resort is nearby and offers gorgeous scenery and the historical city of Nessebar.
Bourgas Airport – Bourgas (or Burgas) is essentially a transport hub for other more popular locations. However, it's close to 4 wonderful lakes that will satisfy even the most demanding nature lover's needs whilst a number of good museums and restaurants are on offer in this lively, much overlooked town.
Discover everything that Bulgaria has to offer before you leave for the airport by checking out our comprehensive Bulgaria travel guide and travel blogs and our guide to driving in Bulgaria. Our skiing guide covers the best Bulgarian resorts should you wish to pound the pistes.
