Harnessing the power of our best-selling Only Natural Pet Easy Defense Squeeze On, we're excited to offer your cat the same effectiveness in an easy to use collar with the Only Natural Pet Easy Defense Flea & Tick Collar!
Using the power of natural Geranium extract, Only Natural Pet Herbal Defense Flea & Tick Collar is completely non-toxic and absolutely safe for your cat. The key to the collar's effectiveness is the scientifically proven, pest repelling power of Geraniol.
Geraniol is made from geranium oil, a natural extract of the geranium flower. For generations, geraniums have been planted around homes and in window boxes to keep fleas, ticks, mosquitoes and other insects out of the house and yard. Following that folk remedy to its natural conclusion, scientists discovered that geranium oil held preventative properties and extracted it in the form of Geraniol; a natural, safe insect repellent.
Geraniol is powerful at repelling fleas & ticks, which will help protect your cat from serious health issues:
Why It's Better
Conventional flea collars are often loaded with dangerous pesticides that can cause harm for you and your pet. Along with dangerous pesticides, most traditional collars are made from PVC or Phthalate plastics. The Only Natural Pet EasyDefense Flea & Tick Collar features all natural pest repellents and is both PVC and Phthlate free. This lets you offer your cat a durable, comfortable & natural option that is effective alternative to the conventional, chemical laden flea collars.
How It Works
Only Natural Pet Herbal Defense Flea & Tick Collar was specifically designed by scientists and tested and approved by veterinarians to give your cat a safe and effective alternative to dangerous, chemical laden flea collars. Our unique collar works by usingthe natural insect repelling power of Geraniol oil. This ingredient creates a pleasant smelling repellant that's infused in the collar and, when worn, keeps biting, disease carrying insects from even latching on to your cat.
Simply put the collar around your cat's neck, trim any extra length, and it will last for up to 3 months! You and your cat will only notice a pleasant smell, but biting pests will quickly realize that he is no longer an inviting host. The combined, naturally occurring repellant properties of the Geraniol oil will keep the bugs away while leaving him unharmed.
Only Natural Pet Herbal Defense Flea & Tick Collars:
Important Note If Your Pet Has Fleas: EasyDefense Flea & Tick Collars are designed for flea prevention, not to eliminate existing flea infestations. If your pet is already infested by fleas, most likely their environment is also infested, and the application of the squeeze-on alone will not be enough to mitigate the infestation. To eliminate existing flea infestations, we would strongly recommend that you complement the squeeze-on with other natural flea removal products, most especially the All-in-One Flea Remedy.
Each collar lasts approximately 3 months.
Country of Origin: France
Manufacturer: Only Natural Pet
Please Note: Only Natural Pet EasyDefense Flea & Tick Cat Collar changed ingredients on April 24th, 2014. All product reviews prior to that date refer to the old formula.
Active Ingredients - Geraniol 0.9%
Inactive Ingredients - Nylon, Zinc Stearate, 1,2-Propylene Carbonate, Almond Oil, Wintergreen Oil
The EasyDefense collar protects against new fleas, ticks and mosquitoes but will not eliminate an existing flea infestation. If your pet currently has fleas please use Only Natural Pet All-In-One Flea Remedy to eliminate them prior to using the EasyDefense Collar.
Fasten the collar around your cat's neck. For a correct fit be sure that two fingers can be placed comfortably between the collar and the neck of the cat. Any excess length of collar beyond the buckle should be cut off and thrown away. Replace the collar every three months for maximum protection.
Occasionally pets can be sensitive to natural essential oils. If your pet shows signs of sensitivity follow these instructions: On the first day use the collar on your pet for one hour only, then remove. Each day following, increase the hours your pet wears the collar by one hour daily. Continue for about 4 days to ensure the collar is well tolerated by your pet. If there is no sensitivity reaction begin continuous wear.
Avoid contact with eyes or clothing. Wash hands immediately with soap and warm water after attaching collar KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

Cat was Allergic
By Klrwriter
from Orlando, FL
My cat has a severe flea allergy. And living in Florida combined with her wanting to go outside is a huge issue. This collar smelled terrible to me (kind of like Pepto Bismol), but it didn't seem to bother my cat or my husband. I had it on her about 3 days and I think it was working but then she started getting sores on her neck around the coloar area, so I had to remove it. When the sores clear up I'll try again. Worth if if you can stand the smell and your cat is not allergic.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
strong smell
By Gina the groomer
from Clearwater Beach, FL
The smell is very strong but it does fade. My two cats are still flea free but I was disappointed to see mosquitoes still biting their face and ears. Not sure if it's going to last 3 months.

Great product helps eliminate pests!
By Veganallie
from Massachusettts
Smells good, just let it air out for 24 hours before putting on your dog. It's a bit too strong out of the package. After 24 hours my dog was fine with it. Pests REALLY seem to hate the smell of this, not ONE tick since I put this on with the electronic flea and tick tag sold on here! I live in tick infested New England also!

Heat cramps facts
What are heat cramps?
Heat cramps are the intermittent, involuntary spasm of muscles that occur in an individual who is physically active (for example, working or exercising) in hot or humid weather. They are often associated with dehydration. Heat cramps usually affect the major muscles that are being stressed in the hot environment. Most often these are the thigh and leg (quadriceps, hamstrings, gastrocnemius), the core muscles (abdominal wall and back) and the arm muscles (biceps, triceps).
Heat cramps can also occur after the activity has been completed. For example, construction workers or roofers can develop cramps a few hours after their work shift is over.

WATCH THE 1979 NASL NATIONAL SOCCER CONFERENCE FINAL VS. NEW YORK COSMOS (courtesy of canadianblaster09)
PART 1: http://youtu.be/Tm2WkDW7stc
PART 2: http://youtu.be/tsMbk02WhHI
PART 3: http://youtu.be/ZPO1bfdgiiM
As we look forward to playing in our first Major League Soccer (MLS) playoff game against the mighty Los Angeles Galaxy, the task at hand appears quite daunting. The Galaxy are the reigning MLS Cup champions, and they boast three of the top players in the league in Robbie Keane, Landon Donovan and of course, David Beckham.
If you are looking at this game on paper it is hard for anyone to really believe that we have any chance of going to LA and getting a result. Fortunately the game is played on the field, and not on paper. In fact, our boys can look at some playoff history that will show them they can do it.
To be the best …
It was back in 1979 when we were to face the cream of the North American Soccer League (NASL), the two-time defending Soccer Bowl champions New York Cosmos. In their team were World Cup winners Franz Beckenbauer (Germany) and Carlos Alberto (Brazil), as well as Giorgio Chinaglia (Italy) and Johan Neeskens (Netherlands) – the latter of whom led Holland to the runners-up spot in back-to-back FIFA World Cups in 1974 and 1978. Not to mention the wealth of other talented players they had on their team.
The Cosmos had finished with the best record in the NASL (24W-6L). In order to get past them, we needed not only to beat them once, but twice in a two-match home-and-home series – or in an extra mini-game should we win one match each.
We had confidence from beating them twice during the regular season, but this was the playoffs, and they had the added incentive of hosting the Soccer Bowl at their home venue – Giants Stadium.
Up against the odds
I have to say in looking at both teams' rosters, our chances did not look too good. But we knew as a team that once both teams got out on the field that we were not going to be outworked by New York.
There was no doubt that there was more quality in their team, but mentally we felt that we had the edge. We were confident that we were more of a team and that we really trusted each other and could overcome anything that the Cosmos threw at us. But as they say, talk is cheap, and in the end you have to do your talking on the field.
Who wants it more?
We played the first game at home in front of a sell-out crowd (32,875) at Empire Stadium. The game was tense, hard fought, and very close. But we remained focused throughout the match and held strong. Eventually they were the first to blink and we came away with a 2-0 victory on goals by 'Wee' Willie Johnston and Trevor Whymark. The job was half done, but there was still plenty of work left to do going back to New York.
Even winning the first game did not change people's opinions; the prevailing thought was still that the vaunted Cosmos had too much firepower for us and that would show with them playing at home.
When you go into a game as an underdog it is said that you really have nothing to lose and can play freely. There is some truth to that – there was definitely more pressure on New York than us – but we had a lot to lose. We had a chance to get to the Soccer Bowl and we were not going to let this team stand in our way.
We lost the game in a shootout, which meant that we would immediately play a 30-minute mini-game. The mini-game also ended tied, meaning the contest would go to a second shootout. After going toe-to-toe for almost four hours, we eventually came out on top.
David had conquered Goliath.
Our 'Caps face a mighty challenge against the Galaxy and will have to play their best game to advance. But I know firsthand that even the most talented of teams can be beaten.
The first step is believing that you will win.
Before the season, Whitecaps FC head coach Martin Rennie set a goal to make the MLS Cup Playoffs. That may have seemed a lofty goal for a club coming off of a last-place finish in 2011, but after a long season the 'Caps achieved that goal. Along the way the team got their first MLS road victory, set a record for the longest shutout streak to start an MLS season, and put together an impressive home record by losing only three of 17 matches at BC Place.
We will most definitely be underdogs going into next week's playoff clash versus LA Galaxy on the road, but one fact remains: this team is one of only 10 clubs left that can win MLS Cup this season.
A baby boy's hair is not to be messed with unless the momma bear gives permission. Especially when that hair is curly and blonde. Imagine my shock and, let's be honest, heartbreak, when I walked in the door to find it strangely quiet in our apartment. Quiet doesn't happen here much, so I knew something was up. I rounded the corner to our bathroom to find Matt going to town with the razor. I thought he was being nice to let me step out of the house alone, little did I know his plans to shave our son's head. And the quiet? The kid has a thing for brushing his teeth, it's like Disney World to him, so Theo happily brushed (also known as drooled) while Matt happily shaved. And I silently cried.
Funny thing has happened though -- Theo is slightly faster, nimbler, and not falling as much (big accomplishment for him). His head has less bruises from staying afoot. We even thought we heard him say "good" the other day when we asked him how his day was going. Could it possibly be? Could the Power of the Mullet be the cause for his advances? We like to think so.
I've now embraced his Mini Mullet. Not only is it probably enhancing his physical, as well as mental, capabilities, it looks pretty darn cool for a one-year-old.
To increase the Power, we joined a few of the 'Caps at Sugar Skull Salon on Wednesday for one last shape up before today's game. There were no tears this time, but just as much drool as Theo sat still for about three and a half minutes thanks to a lollipop and his rockstar stylist, Gracie. A few new power stripes in there, a snip or two off the top, and he was good to go. I tried to get a snapshot of Theo with the original mullet, but Theo didn't want to share the spotlight. Clearly the Mini Mullet isn't helping his manners.
Regardless, today, of all days, is really the day for the spotlight to be on our 'Caps. So in light of this afternoon's momentous match: here's to faster feet and greater goals -- here's to the Power of the Mullet.
If, by now, you are getting tired of hearing about my kids, I get it. But, no matter how many times in a single day I'm tempted to scream, I still think they're the best and their bums the cutest. Plus, they consume about 97% of my time, so what else would I write about? So, bear with me. I'll get to soccer in a second…
I had a girl first, so I didn't know any different. I just figured her playful, energetic, on-the-go personality was normal. Not that she's abnormal, but I know little girls who will sit still and read books for hours. Ha! Not mine. She's not a boy, but she sure can keep up with the best of them. She wears me out, but that aspect of who she is is one of the things that I love the most about her.
I thought that maybe because I had a girl with a boy's disposition when it comes to sitting still, maybe my boy will be calm. Quiet. Gentle. Most of all, maybe he won't be non-stop. Maybe he'll give me a break every once in awhile. No such luck. While our Theo is most definitely sensitive, he gives Evelyn a run for her money. The kid is a little daredevil.
Essentially, I've got two monkeys on my hands.
This makes game day interesting.
It's really all about timing. Those 8 p.m. games? Forget it. Half of the moms won't even try. We want to be supportive WAGS, but in all honesty, will our attendance, accompanied by tired, cranky kids wearing our patience thin, affect the result? Hardly. If anything, the game will go smoother since our kids won't be around to annoy the nearby fans. We are, after all, indebted to the fans. Our husbands wouldn't have jobs and we wouldn't be able to feed those screaming kids if the fans didn't care enough, so the least we can do is let them watch in peace. Besides, those few precious hours after bedtime are hard to compete with. Fans watch in peace, mommy watches from the couch, everyone wins. And we always hope for a home win.
But say we do luck out and get a 4 p.m. game. Everyone is fresh and just up from naps. The game occupies the whole afternoon, so it's straight home and straight to bed, which, if you're a mom and you're honest, it's your favorite part of the day. The afternoon is looking great, until every mom shows up with every kid in tow at the same time, and we realize we've now got a circus on our hands. Popcorn is flying, someone is crying, Theo fell down the stairs again, we're screaming to say hello, God forbid the crowd goes wild - it'll send at least two babies into hysterics, and our awesome suite host gets stuck with babysitting duties. It can get a little out of control sometimes, but that's life with kids, eh?
Game day can be crazy and exhausting, but one thing it never is – boring. At the end of the day, we love game day, screaming kids and all. And we love it even more when it ends with a big win.
It was 'Soccer Sunday' on Bell Pitch, and what a way to wrap up a busy week for Whitecaps FC at BC Place.
Martin Rennie's side have two more Sunday games at home this season. The win over San Jose was not only their second-straight 2-1 result over the Earthquakes, it was Vancouver's second league victory on a Sunday afternoon in 2012.
Like any win, this hard-fought triumph over Frank Yallop's MLS high-flyers was vital in terms of the three points taken, and the morale boost it provides the Blue and White.
To take six points off the favourites for the 2012 Supporters' Shield (top club in the MLS regular season) is a huge building block to achieve. It was also the perfect tonic for a club that has been through an eventful recent spell.
Among those events have been several notable roster moves that have left supporters looking at their match day programs to familiarize themselves with the new faces. Of course, that familiarization is made easier if the new faces can make an immediate impact. This week, Dane Richards and Barry Robson did just that.
It's been an interesting couple of weeks for Richards following his move west from New York Red Bulls. The Jamaican international has already made three appearances for the 'Caps, but his efforts on Sunday will be remembered fondly.
Richards' ability to out-pace defenders on the right flank is a real asset for Vancouver. The Caribbean midfielder not only found the scoresheet, he also tormented an MLS All-Star in Earthquakes left fullback Justin Morrow.
With Camilo Sanvezzo and Darren Mattocks also causing San Jose headaches, the speed and skill of the 'Caps attack is sure to cause concern for Vancouver's future opponents.
As for Robson, the midfielder's integration with Whitecaps FC is improving by each match. The passionate Scot battled throughout Sunday's clash - fully aware of the importance of the occasion.
His passing and distribution drew regular applause from supporters, while his efforts to win possession in midfield were very important during the spells that produced Whitecaps FC's two goals on Sunday.
He also showed his striking power when he converted Vancouver's lone penalty of the season so far. By the late stages, Robson's name was chanted in praise throughout BC Place.
If Richards and Robson generated a large amount of excitement, the reaction new signing Kenny Miller received when he substituted late on for his MLS debut was also a highlight of the day.
Apart from almost making a sensational start with a chance at goal, the Scottish international striker did what he could to help his new club to victory in the final few minutes. His Whitecaps FC moments will surely come soon enough…
The Sunday dinner or BBQ will be a bit more satisfying for 'Caps fans this July 22, 2012. With a dozen more matches left in the regular season, supporters will be hoping for a feast of satisfying results to consume on between now and late October.
Until Friday night!
It was one of the hottest tickets of the summer in Vancouver – a visit by David Beckham and the star-studded LA Galaxy to take on Vancouver Whitecaps FC in a crucial MLS Western Conference encounter.
Most times, the hype and anticipation of a live sporting event is balanced by what unfolds during that event. Wednesday night, however, Whitecaps FC and the Galaxy took full advantage of the energized atmosphere at BC Place by offering more great moments to the 2012 MLS season catalogue.
From a soccer standpoint, the match was a tale of two halves. Whitecaps FC set the initiative by taking a two-goal lead into the halftime break before the Galaxy showed the heart of defending MLS Cup champions to earn something from their lone regular season visit to Vancouver.
The game likely left those who watched it live, on television, or online in one of three categories. For passionate Whitecaps FC fans, there was disappointment at being held at home, while Galaxy supporters would have been relieved to earn a late point on the road.
The third category may have been the more popular one, as the midweek clash left people fully entertained and fulfilled by the gallant efforts of both clubs. Yet, unlike the experience of a satisfying meal, Wednesday's match will have fans hungry for more soccer entertainment in Vancouver.
There were likely some first-time visitors to a Whitecaps FC game at BC Place on Wednesday night, and depending on their level of knowledge of soccer, the club, and MLS, it proved an outstanding advert for new converts.
Much credit must go to the home side, who showed spirit and application to take the game to their high-profile guests. In particular, some key individual performances made Whitecaps FC fans jump out of their seats!
Fully deserving of the 'Budweiser Man of the Match' award, Gershon Koffie played with determination against LA. He deserved more than the one goal he actually scored, while his eagerness to create openings for Darren Mattocks and home debutant Dane Richards was a positive sign for the future.
The young Ghanaian also deserves praise for his defensive work, particularly in the first half, as he did well to nullify the threat that was David Beckham in central midfield.
It was in midfield that another of the 'Caps top performers offered his new fans a taste of his influential abilities. Using the recent extended road trip to gain his match fitness, Barry Robson might have become the new hero in Van City.
His first-half goal was superbly taken, while his efforts to score again brought BC Place to life in the dying stages. With each match under his belt, Robson is proving to be a talismanic character in Martin Rennie's side. At the very least, Robson would have been full of adrenaline from the crowd reactions to his efforts on Wednesday night.
And what of his fellow countryman Kenny Miller, who watched his new club from the press box? He must be itching to have a chance to experience the BC Place atmosphere on Sunday when San Jose Earthquakes pay a visit.
It is a bit difficult to sum up Wednesday's match, but maybe the opinion of one broadcaster at the end of the game offers the best assessment. In his mind, a Whitecaps FC match at BC Place is the best live sporting event you can attend in Vancouver. When you assess our home games this season, the above argument has plenty of evidence to support it.
If you missed out on Wednesday's soccer fireworks, you only need to wait four more days before another Whitecaps FC match takes place in downtown Vancouver.
Top MLS club San Jose make the visit this weekend, and if the events of May 5 are anything to go by, we are all in for a real soccer treat!
We hope to see you Sunday!

American Nudist: Living the Naked Life in California's Desert
By Max Hartshorne, GoNOMAD Editor
The desert winds are blowing hard in early May at De Anza Springs, in Jacumba, California, inland and just three miles shy of the Mexican border. The 600-acre property borders a 100,000-acre state park, and is surrounded by volcanic mountains and miles and miles of view. I packed light, since it is a clothing optional resort.
I put what I brought with me in the hotel room bureau…it did not include more than some socks and toiletries. And a fleece jacket. And shoes…three pair. Plus three big bottles of sunscreen.
Half-Assed Nudist
Without anything but my coat and Tevas, I walked out. This was my first half-assed attempt at being a nudist. There was just a little sun, but it was tempered by the persistent chilly winds.
I walked the desolate compound, not really ready yet for the Memorial Day holiday, in the distance huge volcanic boulders piled on each other. The road circled up with many parked RVs. The parcels where each RVer had made the space their own were neatly decorated. One sign read "Bobby and Linda's Bare Buns Getaway" and another "Clara's Place."
At one a giant 18-wheeler cab was parked. But no one, clothed or other, was around. I met the owner of the truck cab later that night at a poker game where the players wore bathrobes. He and his wife were going to be buying a trailer and living as nudist nomads when they retire in a few months.
Saturday dawned clear and sunny, and the wind finally let up. The warm weather gave me a chance to sample the naked life, and I didn't put on anything for the next two days. It is incredibly liberating, and in a funny way it is an experience like no other. It is almost like going back to a simpler time, a time so long ago, when you didn't have clothes, and you played around in the nude. Not having pockets, a cell phone or my keys was a pleasant change, it made life seem simpler and less tied down to my material world.
near the border. "You always see border patrol picking up people and about three times a week we get Mexicans coming and trying to get into the resort. Some times they even try to blend in by taking off their clothes." But they are easy to spot so this gambit hasn't worked yet.
44,000 Strong—and Growing
There are more than 44,000 dues-paying members of the American Association for Nude Recreation, (AANR), the lobbying group based in Kissimee Florida. Thousands more enjoy nudity at home or skinnydipping at a local nude swimming hole. But the people who vacation every weekend at De Anza and at the more than 100 other naturist clubs across the U.S. regard taking it all off much more seriously.
We drove to the nearby Golden Acorn casino for dinner, on a windy bluff right off the Interstate. A Mariachi band, eight strong, played trumpets and guitars noisily in the background. The staff were all dressed in Cinco de Mayo outfits, one manager wore a cartoonishly large sombrero. Everyone recognized Dave and Helen, local business owners who employ almost as many people as the casino. Neighbors are friendly and after seven years, nobody here much cares about the naked people down in the hollow.
Defense of Nudity
Dave has strong feelings in defense of nudity. He said he'd much rather leave his kids with nudists than with a YMCA or church camp. Others echo Dave's belief that nudists are among the most trustworthy and God-fearing people you could ever meet. They suffer a stereotype only because
Americans equate nudity with sex, and that simply is not the case. Sex with strangers isn't a part of nudist resorts, though of course, you can find this at other "alternative adult' resorts that are a universe away from a place like De Anza Springs.
"COG's" Not Allowed
The staff at De Anza has been trained to spot the signs of molesters and "creepy old guys," or COGS, and if someone is identified as such by a young person or anyone else, the hook is quick. Like a bad Vaudeville performer, the gig is up, they are yanked out. And they never complain or make a fuss.
"We ask them to leave," said Dave. Still he's only had to do this about six times since he opened the resort seven years ago. "If someone is looking a little too long, or leering, or making another person uncomfortable, then we step in." he said. "The staff has been trained by people who know about the tendencies, people who study child molester behavior have provided clues, tip offs... these types don't last more than 15 minutes here. We know what to do and we act."
Another thing that's banned at the club are cell phones with cameras. But of course, since out here in the desert there is no cell service, "anybody with a cell phone, that phone ends up in the bottom of the pool," said Dave. Read more

First flown in 2002, the X-45A was the first modern UAV designed specifically for combat strike missions. The stealthy, swept-wing jet has fully retractable landing gear and a composite, fiber-reinforced epoxy skin. Its fuselage houses two internal weapons bays. The X-45 project was first managed by the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency, but in 2003 the Air Force and Navy consolidated the X-45 and X-47 programs under the Joint Unmanned Combat Air System Office.
This X-45A, named The Elsie May, accomplished several firsts during testing. Among them: the first autonomous flight of a high-performance, combat-capable UAV; the first weapons release from an autonomous UAV; and, with Air Vehicle #2, the first autonomous multi-vehicle coordinated flight. Only two X-45A scaled-down technology demonstrators were built. Flight tests successfully concluded in 2005.
Transferred from the U.S. Air Force
Physical Description:
Jet-powered, "stealthy" Combat Aerial Vehicle. Designed specifically for offensive combat operations above the battlefield. One of two technology demonstration aircraft for the Joint Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle (later Air System) program.

Elmer's Twomile Library: Could Diagonal Plaza be home to a branch library?
We've talked a little about some longshot library-related ideas on this blog in the past, but now here's someone with a city title doing it:
Donna O'Brien, another library commissioner, said there also could be opportunities to partner with developers to have a library presence in new retail locations. She cited the possible future redevelopment of the Diagonal Plaza center at 28th Street and Iris Avenue as a possible opportunity.
The Camera story talks in very broad terms about the city wanting a library resource for north Boulder of some kind.
What do you think — is two and a half miles to the nearest library too far?

Sinking to the bottom of the harbour in 1628, the Vasa is arguably the best preserved ancient maritime artifact in the world. Its maiden voyage lasted a mere 1300 metres before capsizing just off shore. Early attempts to raise it were unsuccessful, but a state backed effort began salvage in 1956. In 1961, after years of preparation and raising small portions of the ship, the main lift was performed. However, this was just the beginning. Preservations efforts would continue until 1979, when the spraying of the preservative substance was complete.
This elaborate effort and years of hard work have left a legacy for future generations to experience and learn about their seafaring past. Upon entry into the building, you are overwhelemed by the completely restored and preserved Vasa. The ship is incredibly fully assembled indoors multiple related exhibits depicting subjects such as the building process, life on board and Sweden's rich maritime history.
Dedicate at least a morning to this museum, as it is unlike any other in the world and you will find yourself captivated by the vastness of the ship and the science and dedication behind its preservation.

Melissa Field was extremely helpful! She was courteous, professional, knowledgeable, and friendly! She kept me updated on the status of everything and provided timely correspondence. She took ownership for any problems I had and remedied them. I had the most amazing time of my life in Iceland and Paris! I would not have experienced everything without the help of Kensington Tours.
All of our guides were beyond fabulous! Our time in Dublin was much too short, would have loved to stay there at least one more full day. Would recommend extending this package to 15 days for any future visits. The train to Edinburgh was super! Beautiful scenery and great steak pies!
Our trip was fantastic!!! I cannot say enough good things. Lianne worked with our exact dates and time frame beautifully.Our drivers were prompt and friendly. The private guides were so knowledgeable. We left with an appreciation of the history, the culture, and the beauty of Andulasia. We were very pleased and will certainly recommend your company to friends and family.
Everyone involved in our Portugal trip made it terrific. Exactly as advertised. Every event on time and most pleasant. Guides were well-informed, courteous and friendly. Really made for a great journey every time. Each hotel was clean, upgraded and staffed with knowledgeable and friendly folks. Breakfasts were complete -- almost too much to eat. It will always be a wonderful memory thanks to Kensington Tours.
We've been raving to everyone about the food, the friendliness of the people and the amazing history and sites in Turkey. Yes, we want to go back.
Overall, our tour in Spain was very enjoyable, and well planned and executed. Our private tour of the Alhambra was excellent. Virginia, tour guide for royal palace ruins outside of Cordoba, was also excellent. In Seville, we went to the Flamenco Show/dinner, and the Flamenco was outstanding!
Great trip to Spain! Thanks again for all your help, Lianne. The destinations, hotels, guides and everything were all top notch.
My husband and I took a 3 week vacation to southern Europe and North Africa and had a great time. All the guides were very knowledgeable and bent over backwards to accommodate us. The arrangements made by Kensington went off without a hitch. This is our second trip with Kensington (we went to Peru in 2009) and we will certainly book with them again.
Thank you for your follow up, we both loved our time in Croatia. It's really a beautiful place, especially the coast. Your choice of hotels was great. It was an incredible view from the Bellevue hotel in Dubrovnik and the Vestibule in Split was in the best possible location. We were able to relax in our room listening to the wonderful singers in the courtyard and its central location made it so easy to walk anywhere we wanted to see with ease.
We just returned from a 10 day trip to Paris and Normandy. We spent three nights in Paris and then enjoyed a seven night cruise on the Seine to Normandy with AMA Waterways. The time in Paris was well spent and has piqued our interest to return for a more thorough visit. Guide Wafaa Lankey was superb in our visit to Versailles. The Seine cruise was relaxing and beautiful. So many wonderful little towns and we wished we had more time in each one to explore and enjoy.
We traveled to Croatia and Slovenia using Kensington earlier this year which was a fantastic trip.

Volume 1 is concerned with the algebra of vectors and tensors, while this volume is concerned with the geometrical aspects of vectors and tensors. This volume begins with a discussion of Euclidean manifolds. The principal mathematical entity considered in this volume is a field, which is defined on a domain in a Euclidean manifold. The values of the field may be vectors or tensors. We investigate results due to the distribution of the vector or tensor values of the field on its domain. While we do not discuss general differentiable manifolds, we do include a chapter on vector and tensor fields defined on hypersurfaces in a Euclidean manifold. 2006-06-20T22:18:12Z Introduction to vectors and tensors, Vol 1: linear and multilinear algebra http://hdl.handle.net/1969.1/2502 Introduction to vectors and tensors, Vol 1: linear and multilinear algebra This work represents our effort to present the basic concepts of vector and tensor analysis. Volume I begins with a brief discussion of algebraic structures followed by a rather detailed discussion of the algebra of vectors and tensors. Volume II begins with a discussion of Euclidean Manifolds which leads to a development of the analytical and geometrical aspects of vector and tensor fields. a discussion of general differentiable manifolds. We have not included a discussion of general differentiable manifolds. However, we have included a chapter on vector and tensor fields defined on Hypersurfaces in a Euclidean Manifold. In preparing this two volume work our intention is to present to Engineering and Science students a modern introduction to vectors and tensors. Traditional courses on applied mathematics have emphasized problem solving techniques rather than the systematic development of concepts. As a result, it is possible for such courses to become terminal mathematics courses rather than courses which equip the student to develop his or her understanding further. As Engineering students our courses on vectors and tensors were taught in the traditional way. We learned to identify vectors and tensors by formal transformation rules rather than by their common mathematical structure. The subject seemed to consist of nothing but a collection of mathematical manipulations of long equations decorated by a multitude of subscripts and superscripts. Prior to our applying vector and tensor analysis to our research area of modern continuum mechanics, we almost had to relearn the subject. Therefore, one of our objectives in writing this book is to make available a modern introductory textbook suitable for the first in-depth exposure to vectors and tensors. Because of our interest in applications, it is our hope that this book will aid students in their efforts to use vectors and tensors in applied areas. The presentation of the basic mathematical concepts is, we hope, as clear and brief as possible without being overly abstract. Since we have written an introductory text, no attempt has been made to include every possible topic. The topics we have included tend to reflect our personal bias. We make no claim that there are not other introductory topics which could have been included. Basically the text was designed in order that each volume could be used in a one-semester course. We feel Volume I is suitable for an introductory linear algebra course of one semester. Given this course, or an equivalent, Volume II is suitable for a one semester course on vector and tensor analysis. Many exercises are included in each volume. However, it is likely that teachers will wish to generate additional exercises. Several times during the preparation of this book we taught a one semester course to students with a very limited background in linear algebra and no background in tensor analysis. Typically these students were majoring in Engineering or one of the Physical Sciences. However, we occasionally had students from the Social Sciences. For this one semester course, we covered the material in Chapters 0, 3, 4, 5, 7 and 8 from Volume I and selected topics from Chapters 9, 10, and 11 from Volume 2. As to level, our classes have contained juniors, seniors and graduate students. These students seemed to experience no unusual difficulty with the material. It is a pleasure to acknowledge our indebtedness to our students for their help and forbearance. Also, we wish to thank the U. S. National Science Foundation for its support during the preparation of this work. We especially wish to express our appreciation for the patience and understanding of our wives and children during the extended period this work was in preparation. 1976-01-01T00:00:00Z Introduction to continuum mechanics for engineers http://hdl.handle.net/1969.1/2501 Introduction to continuum mechanics for engineers This textbook is intended to introduce engineering graduate students to the essentials of modern Continuum Mechanics. The objective of an introductory course is to establish certain classical continuum models within a modern framework. Engineering students need a firm understanding of classical models such as the linear viscous fluids (Navier-Stokes theory) and infinitesimal elasticity. This understanding should include an appreciation for the status of the classical theories as special cases of general nonlinear continuum models. The relationship of the classical theories to nonlinear models is essential in light of the increasing reliance, by engineering designers and researchers, on prepackaged computer codes. These codes are based upon models which have a specific and limited range of validity. Given the danger associated with the use of these computer codes in circumstances where the model is not valid, engineers have a need for an in depth understanding of continuum mechanics and the continuum models which can be formulated by use of continuum mechanics techniques. Classical continuum models and others involve a utilization of the balance equations of continuum mechanics, the second law of thermodynamics, the principles of material frameindifference and material symmetry. In addition, they involve linearizations of various types. In this text, an effort is made to explain carefully how the governing principles, linearizations and other approximations combine to yield classical continuum models. A fundamental understanding of these models evolve is most helpful when one attempts to study models which account for a wider array of physical phenomena. This book is organized in five chapters and two appendices. The first appendix contains virtually all of the mathematical background necessary to understand the text. The second appendix contains specialized results concerning representation theorems. Because many new engineering graduate students experience difficulties with the mathematical level of a modern continuum mechanics course, this text begins with a one dimensional overview. Classroom experience with this material has shown that such an overview is helpful to many students. Of course, more advanced students can proceed directly to the Chapter II. Chapter II is concerned with the kinematics of motion of a general continuum. Chapter III contains a discussion of the governing equations of balance and the entropy inequality for a continuum. The main portion of the text is contained in Chapter IV. This long chapter contains the complete formulation of various general continuum models. These formulations begin with general statements of constitutive equations followed by a systematic examination of these constitutive equations in light of the restrictions implied by the second law of thermodynamics, material frame-indifference and material symmetry. Chapter IV ends with an examination of the formal approximations necessary to specialize to the classical models mentioned above. So as to illustrate further applications of continuum mechanics, the final chapter contains an introductory discussion of materials with internal state variables. The book is essentially self contained and should be suitable for self study. It contains approximately two hundred and eighty exercises and one hundred and seventy references. The references at the end of each chapter are divided into References and General References. The References are citations which relate directly to the material covered in the proceeding chapter. The General References represent additional reading material which relate in a general way to the material in the chapter. This text book evolved over an extended period of time. For a number of years, early versions of the manuscript were used at Rice University. I am indebted for the assistance my many students gave me as the lecture notes evolved into a draft manuscript. The final manuscript has been utilized at the University of Kentucky by my colleague, Professor Donald C. Leigh, in an introductory graduate course. I am indebted to him for his many comments and suggestions. 1989-01-01T00:00:00Z
