- unhappyVIPDined on 11/23/2014One of the best burgers anywhere. I recommend a bacon and green chili burger on the regular NH meat -- delicious. I am sure the Wagyu is wonderful, but definitely not required.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Really Gone DownhillJudgyCookDined on 11/8/2014Not sure what has happened but NHG&B has become sub-par. Used to be one of our favorite places, but no longer. Everyone at our table complained that their food was bland, the portions significantly smaller and over priced. We were also charged a 20% gratuity without being told for a party of five. Our server was nice, but hard to find when we were ready to pay and then he screwed our checks up. No longer a worthy restaurant and we won't be back anytime soon.
- Love the placeJDJ8VIPDined on 11/7/2014I don't want to wright a review. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hit the spot!TravelDivaVIPDined on 11/6/2014Great atmosphere and eclectic menu. Veggie burgers the best, with lot of veggie accompaniaments: lettuce, tomato (of course), sprouts, grilled onions, & avocado, plus a pickle spear. Mixed fruit on the side, very standard, yet flavorful. Price point quite reasonable. I would certainly return.Special Features:
- cute costumesstarwatcherDined on 10/31/2014It was Halloween & everyone was dressed up & looked great. The food was delicious. The service was fast.Special Features:
- EliandersDined on 10/28/2014We were late for our reservation, but it was a quiet night, and they held the table for us. Very pleasant, although slow, waitress. Everyone was happy with dinner - kids as well. Fish tacos, fish and chips, veggie rolls, cheeseburger w. truffle fries...all very good. Comfortable, dark interior. Definitely returning and recommend to friends.Special Features:
- Before theater dinnerb4theplayDined on 10/10/2014The staff gave us great service. The food was terrific!Special Features:
- Good Food; Irritating musicOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/23/2014The restaurant ambience is nice-- nice design and comfortable seating, but the soundtrack that re-looped in the hour and a half that we were there was way too heavy on the base and unpleasant to the eating experience. The food was good, but I just wanted to leave because the music was so irritating. Not the feeling you want to have for an enjoyable, relaxing meal. I would say that the music was geared toward the younger demographic at the restaurant, except that as I looked around, most of the patrons were middle aged. Restaurant managers need to remember music is for the patrons, not the management.Special Features:
- DisappointedfoodiemvVIPDined on 9/20/2014Third visit to this restaurant and not only disappointed in the food but in the reaction of the staff when I noted my disappointment.Special Features:
- Good food & enjoyedgr8valuDined on 7/31/2014We hadn't been here in awhile, but will get back sooner. The food was good, good local beer selection. Only con: it wasn't busy yet and the waiter wasn't attentive to refill drinks, but compliments to the young helper.Special Features:
- The following 210 reviews are from the Nob Hill Bar & Grill reviews archive.
- Another great visit...pipesmokeVIPDined on 6/27/2014The waitress and the food were awesome. The specialty drinks were okay. This is due to the peach drink. Very acidic and not tasty.
- Very good as expectedGeriDined on 6/20/2014A friendly neighborhood restaurant for those of us lucky enough to be within walking distance. Great happy hour drinks made to suit, nachos appetizer with kobe beef was very good for two hungry people to share before dinner. Main courses were very good, as usual. I do wish they would switch out the menu once in a while for those of us who dine there often.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing FoodAshyDined on 6/15/2014The food here is always quality, although maybe a little on the pricey side. The service is great and I have never had a bad experience here.Special Features:
- gr8abqDined on 5/31/2014Working on trying everything on the menu, so far it's been great! Chicken Picatta was our last choice and it was really good. Love that Bloody Mary!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great spotJimBVIPDined on 5/14/2014My favorite spot in New Mexico. Great food, super location and the staff is top notch. The only negative to the experience is no Yungling beer.Special Features:
- Consistently goodMDubDined on 4/25/2014I've lived in Albuquerque for a year and a half and probably come here at least once a week. The happy hour deals are great, the food has been consistently good. I've only ever been truly disappointed with the ramen, and now there's a ramen shop on central so never order it here. (And the dessert fritters are hit or miss - sometimes burnt on the outside and raw on the inside). Everything else is delicious, when I have a mixed group of friends (some picky, some not so much, some vegetarians) this place works great. Krystle is the very best server, I try to always sit in her section. Drinks are strong. The crowd gets interesting(?) after 11 pm -mix of olds hitting on youngs, and the weeken djs play a lot of edm if that's your thing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great potential - order with careBusinessDiner4OneVIPDined on 4/10/2014The menu attracted me to the trendy upscale diner. Seems to be a local fave with an upbeat vibe that cheers the solitary business traveller. The sauces we great, but the experience disappointed. My advice: Don't compromise: Pork loin entree was my choice. When the server reported "We are out of polenta," I substituted rice. Out of polenta in New Mexico? Seriously... Next time, I'll change my entree selection. Keep it simple: I chose Fritter Bomb for dessert. (Don't tell my cardiologist!). Sounded great but the fritters were underdone. The better choice was Berry Cobbler (special). Heads up: The server was working hard to keep up. Did not return my credit card. Also didn't check back as I was dining. Bottom line: next time, I'll pass.Special Features:
- It was okay..pipesmokeVIPDined on 4/4/2014We sat at the table for over ten minutes before we even knew our server. Most likely, it was vice versa. Her device was spotting. We could not tell if it was a bad day or, most likely another reason. we will reconsider this choice in the future.
- Saturday NightsGeriDined on 3/29/2014Love this place and usually love the music but for Saturday nights. The music is geared toward younger folks on the weekend and a bit loud and too energetic for a quiet meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great night out!FoodieMomDined on 3/28/2014Everything was great, especially the service. We especially enjoyed the Waghu burger! Can't be beat!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Enjoyable Birthday DinnerBzvickyDined on 3/13/2014The food at Nob Hill Bar & Grill is dependably very good. The menu is not large but what they serve, they do well. The wait staff is very friendly and does a good job of being there when you need them and not hovering. I recommend their steak salad.Special Features:
- Food was good but not superb.PTJPTJVIPDined on 3/6/2014Food was good but not superb. Service was slow at times. The iced tea was quite good.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Salmon of the Day--awesomeMaribethDined on 3/5/2014Great dinner as always! I had the salmon of the day and it was amazing. Pea risotto with kale and chard with grilled salmon and a lemon vodka sauce. It was absolutely amazing. My husband had the nachos which were good, but when he tasted mine, he said "You Won"...meaning I picked the best meal. As always, a great experience with good service and food. One of our go-tos particularly before games and events in the UNM Area.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 2/28/2014With the exception of our waitress, Marisol, the entire staff was completely rude to us. I believe its because we were all of hispanic decent and the majority of the crowd was anglo. From the get go it was bad. I had requested a 6 person party reservation. We got there and they tried to cram us into one tiny booth. I then asked the hostess if I could get a bigger table and she rolled her eyes and stated that table has six people which they did but were half our size. Treated poorly by everyone except Marisol. Never again will i suggest this to my friends.Special Features:
- One of our favorite go to'sMaribethDined on 2/25/2014Interesting cocktails with great happy hour pricing. Food solid as always! I had the tenderloin salad--yummy and fresh, my husband had the fish and chips- large pieces of hot tender fish with crispy breaking served with waffle fries and homemade ketchup and my daughter got the clams with extra bread for sopping up the delicious cooking liquid. Hubby and I shared the bread pudding- hot and a mixture if textures . Not too sweet and delicious. Our daughter enjoyed the apple crisp ala mode for her dessert. As always, a great experience.Special Features:
- Date nightOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 2/22/2014Went with my wife for a date night. Nice scenery and food was good!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Try the chickenOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 2/15/2014The pistachio crusted chicken and cobb salad we ordered was delicious. We paired it with the JKs skrumpy hard cider. I made a reservation and we got seated right away. This is my second bisit here, and I have yet to try the other menu items.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FunKiki84Dined on 2/14/2014Excellent food and staff. Steak and risotto delicious. Parmesan crusted salmon and risotto so good. Very fast service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Valentine's DayGfoodandserviceDined on 2/14/2014We had great service and excellent food and ambience! A great evening!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great fun place to eat andSamanthaDined on 2/7/2014Great fun place to eat and the food was yummy too!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- My placeJimBVIPDined on 1/28/2014This is my spot to eat when in town. Normally get the same seat, order the clams( first rate) and generally check out the special. Prime rib is equal to even the Oak Room in Louisville KY.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FIT FOR A LADIES LUNCHabqladycopDined on 1/26/2014An excellent experience with Nob Hill Bar & Grill. I am a veteran at this restaurant. I just love it. I have been many times and you can always count on consistency with the food and drinks. If you are looking for something that is not on the menu, just ask. You might be pleasantly surprised.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A major disappointment...pipesmokeVIPDined on 1/24/2014My wife and I are usual regulars to this place. She ordered the fish special; and, the meatloaf. Both did not meet the expectations at all. we inquired if the meatloaf had any sort of spice. We were advised it did not, but it it did. My mouth was on fire. The fish dish was another complete disappointment. The server was acceptable but had occasional flashed of forgetfulness and inattentiveness. She only check in twice. When she was advised of the disappointment, she did not make any other query or attempt for satisfaction.We walked out hungry and unsated. We have decided to stay away for while until we hear positive reviews from trusted diners whom we know. My apologies.
- Nice place but if you wantDateniteDined on 1/24/2014Nice place but if you want a quiet respite do not sit near the bar area! Way to loud to enjoy the meal and the company you are with. Food very good, service great, decent prices.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Another great time was had by all!HappyDinerVIPDined on 1/18/2014This is the second time I have been to Nob Hill Bar and Grill and it was wonderful--again. Jessica, the hostess, was solicitous when I arrived and sat waiting for my friend and she didn't bat an eye when we asked to sit at the bar instead of the table I had reserved. She came over and checked on us several times, but we were in great hands with Tyson, the bartender! He poured, chatted and took our orders making us feel we had his undivided attention, but never leaving anyone else at the bar to feel he was ignoring them. The waitstaff who presented our food was equally solicitous and made for an incredible afternoon of dining. We enjoyed it so much, we went back the following day! Thanks, to all at Nob Hill Bar and Grill - see you all soon.Special Features:
- food presentation and tasteOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 1/17/2014food presentation and taste surprised us as great at these reasonable prices. The service was as attentive as a five star restaurant.Special Features:
- YummyMaribethDined on 1/15/2014Our visit to Nob Hill Grill was great as usual. The daily salmon selection was delicious as were the clams. Thouroughly enjoyed our visitSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- meeting new friendsJacquioladyDined on 1/10/2014We like to bring newbies here, the food is always good and it's moderately priced Werth great ambience. My wife and I got engaged there 2 years ago, so it's special for us.Special Features:
- Great drink menuTheBigCheeseDined on 1/3/2014Food was very good, as was service except for messing up one order for our party. Seated right by the entry door on a cold evening which detracted a little from the evening.
- We enjoyed everything aboutswimjanDined on 12/21/2013We enjoyed everything about our meal except that the people on the window side of the booth were very cold. I do not recommend a window booth during the winter.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

The BW's 125 is an off-road inspired scoot that goes nicely and looks even nicer - rugged styling marks it out as a small scoot aimed at blokes. At £2,499 it's not the cheapest 125 scooter on the market, but nice detailing and decent performance help to justify the price.
278cc, 22.5bhp, 75mph, Insurance group
The Aprilia SportCity Cube is a totally restyled version of the Sportcity 250ie chassis fitted with a bored and stroked Piaggio Quasar engine, taking it to 278cc. It may seem like 300cc is an odd choice of capacity, but it gives Aprilia a head-on rival to Honda's Italian chart-topping SH300 high-wheeler that's both stylish and comfortable around town.

Princeton Police Department
Police Chief James Water
Few folks in the city felt the changes of 2011 more than Waters. The year saw one chief replaced and the police department move into a new home in downtown Princeton.
"We have recently moved into a larger police department," Waters said. "Now we can utilize different areas of the police department for our needs and jobs."
He said while the added space and has been great for meeting the department's needs the building still needs facelift on the outside.
"The inside of the police department looks great, I just want the outside to represent the city of Princeton and its police department," Waters said.
Even thought the department got new digs, it was faced with a tight budget just like everyone else but was able to maintain its staffing levels. But those levels still leave the police force short.
"We still need approximately three more officers for the correct amount of coverage that this size of a city needs, but our officers are working very diligently to provide the safety for the city," Waters said.
2011 was also big for Waters personally as he was selected by the city council July 25, and in August he was sworn in.

Judge Garzon's suspension divides the Spanish
Baltasar Garzon, the Spanish judge who indicted former Chilean dictator General Pinochet, and pressed charges against Osama bin Laden over the 9/11 attacks, has been suspended from his duties. Critics say he's overstepped his jurisdiction by investigating disappearances during the Franco era, despite a 1977 amnesty law. But others have championed his high-profile crusades.

Welcome to Country Living 2010 House of the Year Home Green Home. We're finally here. It really exists. We're in Manhattan at the World Financial Center. The house itself may look like it belongs in a peaceful countryside but there's all kinds of stuff going on around us. The siding on the house is James Hardie, and it's got something called ColorPlus technology. They actually guarantee the color of the siding for 15 years, which means you're not painting every 2 to 3 years. Right now, we are on this green porch. This is just one small slice of a very large wraparound porch. The interior of the house is 1600 square feet. The porch is almost that big. There are 1100 square feet of livable exterior space. You are literally connected to nature, and what could be greener than that?

Avenged Sevenfold Until The End Lyrics
Last updated: 11/21/2013 04:42:30 AM
Weekends on young and angry streets
We meet, drink 'till trouble found us there
Living life as without a care
We've had our bouts, been black and blue
Its true, I've even gone to jail for you my friend
Bet your life that I'd do it again
(Until the End)
Don't change the way you think of me
We're from the same story
Life moves on, can't stay the same
For some of us, i'm worried (yeah)
While some have gone their separate ways
Theres some still caught up with the past instead
But move on, you're missing most of your life
They say its hard to stay the same
When some fail, while other men seem to gain, my friend
I'll be with you here until the end
(Until the End)
Don't change the way you think of me
We're from the same story
Life moves on, can't stay the same
But some of us, some worry
We're all falling forward
With no signs of slow
And some moving faster
Thats all that I wanted
I wanted
I know it's wrong
Its passing by
Be out all night
To reminisce wont bring you back
Just look ahead and hold on tight
We're all falling forward
With no signs of slow
And some moving faster
Thats all that I wanted
I wanted
Don't change the way you think of me
Oh yeah
Until the end
Until the end
Until the end
Until the end
Thanks to firstname.lastname@example.com for submitting Until The End Lyrics.
Awesome song! | Reviewer: Ben | 11/29/12
This song is not about The Rev's death, 'cause this song is in the album Diamonds in the Rough, wich The Rev recorded with the band (So Far Away is in memory of The Rev, may he Rest in Peace). This song is just about friendship, is really deep and good. I'm not sure but I think Synyster wrote this one. I just simply love it<3.
Fucking Nice!!!! | Reviewer: TheFallenIndo Alva | 5/24/12

=D | Reviewer: Emma | 6/6/09
I really love this song. The lyrics are more like Waking The Fallen lyrics, which is my favourite album by Avenged Sevenfold. I think that the earlier stuff is awesome, but they always said they wanted to head in a different direction and each album has been completely different. They've pulled it off really well and shown everybody that they can do whatever they want and still be kick ass!! All the way through they're career as a band they've always looked out for eachother and this song really concludes how much they care for eachother.
beautiful song!! | Reviewer: A7X fan | 4/21/09
this song is my favourite of A7X!! it's so beautiful, this song makes me cry ><! i love walk on the street listening until the end, it's like heaven!! M.shadow has a so beautiful voice in this song!! (sorry for my english ^^")

Chefchaouen is known worldwide for its Medina of shady alleys, whitewashed houses with blue turquoise doors, wrought iron windows and colorful tile covered roofs. The souks are decorated with their traditionally dressed inhabitants boasting their straw hats.
Blue lime-washed houses, busy squares, steep alleyways, the best way to discover this holy town is to wander around it taking in the atmosphere. This city has a powerful charm that you really can feel in the Outa-el-Hammam square, in the cobblestone medina. Sit on the terrace of a cafe and take in the view of the grand Tarik-Ben-Ziad mosque whose octagonal minaret is inspired by that of the Torre de Oro in Seville. This Andalousian architecture can be found in the kasbah and its gardens, at the center of the medina. Its walls and its 11 crenellated towers, of which one used to be a dungeon, house an interesting ethnographic museum. In the small museum in the kasbah can be found collections of embroideries and colored and varied pieces of clothing like those worn by the region's women. The famous djellaba, this long and ample garment worn by the men and women of North Africa, was created here. For something different, visit a traditional oil mill (there are more than 1500 of them) or a craftsman's workshop. Over and above its weaving, Chefchaouen is renowned for its basket-making and its pottery.

Also known as Fes el Bali, this UNESCO World Heritage Site was founded in the 9th century, and is home to the world's oldest university. The city of Fes reached its true economic and cultural height in the 13th–14th centuries under the Merinids, when it replaced Marrakech as the capital of the kingdom. Although the political capital of Morocco was transferred to Rabat in 1912, Fes has retained its status as the country's Artisan centre. Artisan workshops in the medina are as active today as they were 100 years ago, and strongly contribute to the city's industrial economy. Trades such as blacksmithing, leather working, ceramics, silk, tapestries, and sculpting are still practiced in these workshops today. The original ramparts still protect this ancient city and its estimated 9000 narrow passageways and bustling streets.

En-route you'll pass through a scenic forest of cedars and across the Middle Atlas Mountain range to the mineral mining city of Midelt, where a stop for lunch is scheduled.

Enjoy a traditional Moroccan lunch at the hotel Taddarte in Midelt.
A 4x4 vehicle will be waiting for you to continue your adventure by heading towards the dunes of Erg Chebbi, possibly the largest dunes in the Sahara desert. The dunes of Erg Chebbi are a strikingly strange natural formation. On the top of the flattest area you could imagine, suddenly a long mountain of sand rises. This mountain is surrounded by flat and desolate nature on all sides, and you could end up wondering if it really is real. But so it is, even if its existence is so weird that it has given rise to legends and myths among the locals. Upon arrival at the camp you will witness the sunset from over the desert dunes and be astounded by the peace and calm as well as the changing colours of the landscape. If you're up to it you can also ride a camel!
A 4x4 vehicle will transfer you back to Erfoud where your private vehicle awaits for your onward journey.
Travel today between Erfoud and Ouarzazate with private vehicle and English speaking driver. En-route, stop in the Dades Gorge, Todra Gorge's more beautiful and older sister. These gorges are located just southwest of Tinerhir and some 110 km (65 miles) from Ouarzazate. In the latter winter, the Dades River flows and in mid-spring through early summer provides a life source to the valley`s unprecedented amount of greenery. In the valleys along the Dades Gorge, you'll notice more argan (nut) trees more than the palmeries that surround the Todra Gorge. When you arrive at the top of the gorges, you will notice the temperatures will be cooler, the views amazing, and the people delightful. Northwest of Rissani and Northeast of Ouarzazate, just up the road from Tinerhir are the Todra Gorges. Experience the unbelievable glory of the massive canyon walls reaching some 300 meters (900 feet) high and continuing for some 100 meters (300 feet). A little north-east of the southern city of Quarzazate, lays the Dadès Valley-stretching out between the peaks of the High Atlas and the Jbel Sarhro Mountain range. Known as 'The Valley of One Thousand Kasbahs', it is the most prominent of the oasis valleys that dominate southern Morocco. Originating from melt water high up in the snowfields of the Haute Atlas, the river Dadès cuts a steep gorge, known as the Dadès Gorge, at Aït Oudinar and Aït Ali. From here, it flows across the broad Dadès Valley in a south-westerly direction towards Quarzazate. Before reaching Ouarzazate, you will make a stop in Skoura - one of Morocco's beautiful oases. Skoura offers weary travellers a chance to rest their feet and enjoy the abundance of nature. At first glance from the road, it resembles a sort of thin, long, oasis but if you have a chance to explore within it, you will notice it is rather large and impressive. Continue to your lodging in the Ouarzazate area.
A private vehicle with an English speaking driver will be at your disposal for the day.
Relax as a private vehicle with English speaking driver provides a transfer towards Marrakech, for a visit to the village of Ait Ben Haddou. Located approximately 60 kilometers from Skoura this fortified village (or ksar) is ideally positioned along a once frequented, ancient caravan route linking the Sahara and Marrakech. Ait Ben Haddou has been used in numerous Hollywood film productions for its distinctive architecture. In 1987 this famed location was deemed a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Next, travel to the village of Telouet, located approximately 1 hour north of Ait Ben Haddou. Telouet hosts one of the area's most recognized structures, the palace of the 'Lord of the Atlas.' This palace was the residence of the once Vizier of Marrakech, back in the early 20th Century. An evocative relic of the time when the Glaoui clan ruled over the Atlas and Marrakech, the palace was the family's Headquarters and was situated in a dramatic location, on a broad mountain valley, providing sweeping views of the peaks on all sides. Continue from here back onto the main road back to Marrakech, crossing on the dramatic Tizi n'Tichka passage through the High Atlas Mountains range on the way. Whilst passing take time to notice the many beautifully-terraced valleys and adobe villages perched precipitously on the hillsides.
Travel today between Ouarzazate and Marrakech in a private vehicle with an English speaking driver. The route through Ouarzazate to Marrakech offers wonderful photo opportunities including views of the UNESCO World Heritage Centre of Aït Ben Haddou, where movies such as Gladiator and Jesus Of Nazareth were filmed, and the dramatic Tizi n'Tichka mountain pass.
Your tour usually starts at the 12th century Koutoubia Mosque. This mosque's beautiful minaret dominates the skyline of Marrakech and can be seen from almost every approach to the city thanks to a long-standing planning ordinance that forbids any other building in the old city to rise above the height of a palm tree. You will also visit the El-Bahia Palace. This 19th century palace is elaborate in its decoration and was built over a period of seven years for Ba Ahmed, the son of the Grand Vizier Si Moussa. There are row after row of apartments—that once housed Ahmed's harem—a trapezoidal garden, a huge tiled courtyard, and many hidden treasures, both in the form of antique objects d'art and the palace's convergence of Andalusian and Moorish architecture. One of most visited sites in Morocco is the Saadian Tombs, which were only accessible via the mosque next door. However, in 1917 they were opened to the public and can now be accessed via a narrow passage that leads to an enclosed garden watched over by two mausoleums that include more than one hundred mosaic-decorated tombs. The Koranic School Medersa Ben Youssef is a Theological college founded by the Merenid Sultan Abu Hassan in the 14th century. It was restored in 1564 by the Saadians who made it the largest theological college in the Maghreb and a rival to the important Medersa Bou Inania in Fés.
Enjoy a morning excursion to the High Atlas Mountains and Kasbah du Toubkal. Heading south from Marrakech along the hairpin bends, you will eventually reach one of only two passes through the High Atlas Mountains. Perhaps make a brief stop at the Berber villages of Tahanoute or Asni and continue to the village of Imlil, where you will take a ten-minute walk up to Kasbah du Toubkal. Mules will be available if you prefer to ride! Situated on a hilltop with commanding views of the surrounding valley, the Kasbah du Toubkal was built as a summer palace for the Pasha El Glaoui. It is now a wonderful place to experience Berber hospitality and a great base from which to explore the High Atlas. Enjoy a traditional Berber lunch on the terrace overlooking the snow-capped peaks or a picnic lunch on the trail. You may wish to take a stroll to a nearby Berber village, where an invitation to share mint tea with the locals can be arranged. Kasbah du Toubkal has been heavily involved in sharing its prosperity with the local mountain villages, sponsoring much-needed health and educational projects. Head back to Marrakech at your leisure and the remainder of the day is free for more exploration of Marrakech.
Travel in a privately driven vehicle with an English-speaking driver between Marrakech and Essaouira. The approximate travel time is 2.5 hours.
Enjoy a private tour of Essaouira, one of the most picturesque towns in the country. You will dive into it's history and see how as an original Phoenician trading post, it prospered during the Roman era as citizens extracted the Tyrian purple colour from a local shellfish. Explore the fortifications that ring the city were built by the Portuguese and is inherent to the charm of Essaouira. You will have time to see the other attractions including the port, where a daily supply of fresh fish can be found, and the tremendous beach that stretches away to the south. The easy-going nature of the town, the medina, the dramatic fortifications and the beach, have created a bohemian atmosphere quite different from the rest of the country.

"I would highly recommend the tour guide that we had in the Serengetti . He was extremely knowledgeable, very helpful and courteous. We all agree that Kensington has first class staff working for them in Africa. All the camps that we stayed at were absolutely beautiful except perhaps for the one in Lake Manyara. All in all it was a spectacular trip!"

"Our trip to Masai Mara via Kensington ran very smoothly. We stayed at the Mara West Lodge. Beautiful location atop a ridge overlooking the Masai Mara plains. Our luxury tents were quite comfortable and the staff/service at the lodge were great. Meals were very nice especially the daily soups. Our guide, Steve, was also great...so knowledgeable and eager to show us many interesting things. He planned our daily game drives and took us on a nature hike one afternoon. He clearly knows and understands this ecosystem. He has an amazing eye, finding animals in fields of tall grasses. Our entire family had an amazing time, trip of a lifetime...would love to go back!"

"Once again, a perfect trip. From Elizabeth's planning to Godfrey's guiding, we could not have asked for a more thorough and well planned safari. I can't wait to come back and do it again, this time with a Kilimanjaro climb added onto the trip!"

"The entire trip was superb - all the transfers, the lodging and the food, the safari experience and the knowledgeable guides. The guide's ability to spot an animal and identify it at a great distance allowed us to see and photograph all the animals on our list and then some. The lodgings were even better than we had hoped and the staff could not possibly have been better. Our trip of a lifetime turned out to be just that."

"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 - 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!"

"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!"

"Our family of 6 traveled to Morocco for a 9 day Imperial cities discovery, I was absolutely amazing. Our guide Lahcen Zaaim was the best guide we have EVER had and we have traveled to many countries. There was not one subject that he was not knowledgeable about. He made the trip sooooo memorable. He was so flexible and when he picked us up in the mornings to head out, he was talking nonstop to tell us soo much about everything we were seeing. There was soooo much to see in Morocco and he made sure we saw it all.. He truly has a gift in the touring business, you feel as if your leaving your best friend when the trip is over. When we got to the airport in casablanca, he spotted us before we saw him and of course, we asked him, how did you recognize us? He even went as far as to get the King of Moroccos artist to meet us at our riad the night before we left to return home late to do our names in moroccan arabic to frame, They were beautiful, He showed us a picture of the Kings Face he had done for the Palace! Lily Baffour from Kensington planned our trip and she was amazing, planning everything as she thought we would like based on what I told her. She did an Outstanding job and literally sent our Iteniaries by next day air in a beautifully done spiral bound personally book for each family that was going on the trip, SOOOOOO IMPRESSED and she even got the guide we requested!!!! I cant say enough about this trip and Kensington, we will definitely use again!!! We experienced a VERY different culture in going to Morocco and thats what we wanted, a Very different exotic trip and thats what we got!!!! Again our accomodations we Top Notch, staying in the TRuly authenic Riads, they were SOOOOO Luxurious, Plan on taking another suitcase or buying one there because you will buy more things to bring home than any other trip because of all the Handicrafts there, especially in Fes!!!

The film features two strong female leads, with Charlize battling Kristen Stewart's Snow White. The Oscar winner told me the two clicked instantly. "We had amazing chemistry, right off the bat," she said. "We just really hit it off."
"We had a great time doing it," Charlize said of the film. "I hope people enjoy it as much as we did." Not to worry — we're pretty sure we're going to love it.

Fireworks blamed for extra-alarm blaze that injured woman in Pilsen
BY ART GOLAB Staff firstname.lastname@example.com July 4, 2011 5:58PM
Firefighters work to contain a smoky fire at 1323 W. 18th st. in the Pilsen neighborhood Monday, July 4. One person was injured at the 2-11 alarm blaze. | Rich Hein~Sun-Times

Children playing with fireworks sparked a blaze that damaged three buildings in the Pilsen neighborhood Monday afternoon and sent an elderly woman to the hospital.
Fire officials said children started the blaze on the back porch of a building in the 1300 block of W. 18th and it spread eastward to two buildings.
An adjacent structure was the most heavily damaged of the three brick buildings, which all had stores on the first floor and apartments above.
"Before the fire trucks came, the back porch was totally engulfed in flames," said Estela Balderas, who lives in the neighborhood.
"People were coming out of the front of the building, flames were coming out of the roof, the attic is gone," she said.
An 80-year-old woman was taken in good to fair condition to University of Illinois Medical Center with smoke inhalation.
Rodolfo Alvarez, owner of the building where the fire started, was looking through the two water damaged rear apartments and wondering how soon he could reopen his hardware store on the first floor.
"This is the way I live, I don't know anything else," he said. "I've been here 30 years."
As he spoke, explosions from fireworks nearby echoed down the street.
"I think fireworks are a threat," he said. "In fact, last night my grandkids were asking me to take them to buy some fireworks.
"I said, 'Nope, it's a hazard. We might cause a fire.' And look, here it is in my own place."

Hold the phone
Sniff. Sniff. Will cold calls eventually be a thing of the past?
March 22, 2011 12:50 by shafeer
What? That's it? Kipp won't get those calls anymore?
Kipp is going to miss those random calls…in the middle of the night…during a movie…in a meeting…or when it's getting close to deadline…
"Hello, there? Would you be interested in our latest loan offer? It's a minimum monthly cost of …"
"Can't right now…on deadline. Can you please…"
"…but this is a one-time offer of 0% interest…"
At which point Kipp starts a dodgeball discourse that can only be done with plucky determined telemarketer—they'll keep calling over and over again, talking constantly as if reaching a speaking speed limit would turn us into amenable customers while we take the opportunity to vent frustrations at every unfortunate customer service experience we've ever had, starting with telemarketing. It's a game of who will hang up first.
Good times. Good times.
But now the Central Bank has banned banks from calling customers to market loans and other services, clamping down on one of our favourite target practice: bad customer service.
Good thing it's only the banks, though. Kipp is still expecting unwarranted calls from legal departments pushing us to create a will at minimal cost. Plus there are the calls from the telecoms operators themselves about upgrading services.
Please don't tell Kipp we'll be seeing those gone too?
Otherwise, we'll have to resort to bashing luxury cars (from some stress relief) to prove a point. Much like the Chinese gentleman Kipp talked about earlier this week. He had his Lamborghini bashed in the name of consumer rights. Of course Kipp will have to borrow someone else's car smash. Uhm, ours is taking its time leaving the mechanic's.
But Kipp has a feeling this won't be the last we'll hear of our telephone sparing partners AKA banking telemarketers.
A clear cut ban on telemarketing would hurt telemarketing companies and financial marketing companies built around these cold calls. There are about 3,500 people involved in marketing financial products, out of which at least 20-30 per cent are in telemarketing, according to a Khaleej Times article.
Not to mention that it closes another avenue for smaller players in the banking and finance sector to reach potential clients without having to shell out major cash for mass advertising.
The Central Bank, Kipp hears, is awaiting feedback from the banks.
In the meantime, we will have to tide ourselves over with leaflets littering our corridors and welcome mats, spam emails and brochures, oh and of course on virtual stalking on social networking sites…until we hear the phone ringing from an unknown number again.
