Holiday Overview
Holiday Overview
- Ride the Skeleton Coast to the Cape Cross fur seal colony
- World-class game viewing in Etosha National Park
- Visit Herero and Himba villages off the beaten trail
- Chill out at the charming coastal town of Swakopmund
Namibia is an outstanding destination for a mountain biking holiday, with its ever-changing desert landscapes, rugged Atlantic coastline, reliable sunshine and plenty of opportunity to spot wildlife. From a cyclist's perspective, it's a big country and our itinerary mixes vehicle transfers with daily 60 kilometre cycling stages, as we seek out the best of Namibia's highlights. From our first night's fixed camp accommodation in the Daan Viljoen Game Reserve, close to the the capital of Windhoek, this classic circuit takes us northwards on gravel roads, via Kalkfeld with its dinosaur footprints. We then spend 2 days at the Etosha National Park and have the chance to spot black rhino, lion and many other species that visit the floodlit waterholes of this world-famous park. Then, crossing the Grootberg Pass, we meet the Himba people and bike south down the Skeleton Coast, stopping off to visit the seal colony at Cape Cross. Free time in the picturesque seaside town of Swakopmund is a relaxing way to end this Namibian cycling holiday extravaganza. This tour on 2-wheels offers the best way to experience Namibia.
Is this holiday for you?
SEMI-SLICK ADVENTURE. A mountain bike fitted with semi-slick tyres is best for this holiday. Choose tyres with low rolling-resistance, but a minimum of tread to allow for better control on the gravel roads. It's also important to choose tyres with excellent puncture resistance and also to consider using a puncture sealant such as `Slime` in your inner tubes. This circuit has a mix of tarmac and mostly gravel roads, with an average of 55 kilometres of riding on each of 7 days and the option to do more biking on several other days. Group members will be expected to pitch in and help with camp chores. Vehicle support is always available. BIKE HIRE AVAILABLE LOCALLY.

Holiday Itinerary
Meet at Windhoek Airport and transfer to Khomas Hochland camp. Optional warm-up ride.
Meet at the airport in Windhoek. KE Land Only package services begin in the morning with the group transfer from Windhoek Airport. We have time for a brief city tour, before driving out to the nearby Daan Viljoen Camp, situated at around 1700 metres in the region known as the Khomas Hochland. After checking in and reassembling our bikes (if you have brought your own), we set out on an introductory ride in this game reserve, looking out for the wildlife that lives here.
Accommodation Camping
Distance 25km
Cycle north west to Omaruru. Transfer to Kalkfeld area and explore evidence of dinosaurs!
This morning we cycle directly from our camp in the Daan Viljoen reserve, following dirt roads north-west towards Omaruru. We then transfer to the Kalkfeld area and check in our fixed campsite accommodation on a guest farm. Close by are 220 million year old dinosaur tracks for us to check out.
Accommodation Camping
Distance 60km
Meals bld
Ride gravel tracks to Namibia's premier National Park, Etosha for overnight camp.
We cycle from camp for a couple of hours on a gravel road and then transfer north to the Etosha National Park, , passing through the town of Outjo to pick up supplies en route and arriving in the park at lunchtime. The central feature of the Park is the Etosha Pan, a 6000 square kilometre salt-flat, once an inland sea, which can manifest itself either as a parched white desert or as a lush green land of plenty according to the season. Many rare animal species manage to survive here, such as the black rhino, roan antelope and black-faced impala. During infrequent flooding, the pan attracts thousands of flamingoes and other wading birds, although the water is so mineral-rich that it is undrinkable. The key to life here is the occurrence of underground springs which form waterholes on the edge of the pan. Together with the savannah grassland that they nourish, these springs enable more than 110 species of mammals to exist in an otherwise forbidding environment. We spend 2 nights at Etosha, in one of the fixed camps (Okuakuejo, Halali, Namutoni) and one of the highlights of our stay will be the chance to visit the floodlit waterholes at night. Elephant and black rhinoceros are seen daily during the dry winter months and numerous other game species are also found here including big cats. The rainy season at Etosha extends from November into March and April. This is a season of plenty, when grazing animals and their predators are widespread across the park. Within a few months, with the coming of the Southern Hemisphere winter, the waters evaporate and, once again, the animals become concentrated around the waterholes. Each of the Etosha camps has good facilities, including a shop and a swimming pool.
Accommodation Camping
Distance 30km
Meals bld
Full day exploring the salt pans, waterholes and 'Big 5' of Ethosha National Park.
During our time at Etosha, we will go out on morning and evening game drives. So, after an early breakfast we travel into the park. We drive to the different waterholes watching the animals quenching their thirst. We may have lunch in one of the 'rest camps', or return to our camp for lunch and to take a dip in the pool to cool off from the fierce mid-day sun. There will be a second game drive in the late afternoon. We spend a second night at our fixed camp.
Accommodation Camping
Meals bld
Cycle local game farm trails. Short drive to Kamanjab to meet local Himba tribespeople.
Driving out of Etosha, after about an hour we get back on our bikes and head west on a gravel road between game farms. We then transfer to Kamanjab where we have to chance to interact with some local Himba people. The Himba are a semi-nomadic pastoralist people indigineous to this area. They wear few clothes and the women cover their bodies with a reddish pigment called otjize, made from butter fat and ochre.
Accommodation Camping
Distance 40km
Meals bl
Transfer to the Grootsberg Pass and cycle through Herero and Himba villages to Palmwag.
We start out with a transfer towards the Grootberg Pass, but stop off to get back on our bikes for the ride over the crest and down towards Palmwag. In this area we are likely to pass through Herero and Himba villages and will, no doubt, stop off at some of the roadside stalls, where women sell handmade articles and semi-precious stones. We will also be on the look out for desert elephant and black rhino that roam freely in this area.
Accommodation Camping
Distance 60km
Meals bl
Drive to the Atlantic coast and ride the Skeleton Coast to Mile 108.
After a relaxing morning, we transfer into the Skeleton Coast National Park and set off on our bikes southwards along the coast road. Riding on a level gravel strip, we will be looking out for shipwrecks and seabirds. Overnight at a semi-wild camp beside the sea at Mile 108.
Accommodation Camping
Distance 60km
Meals bd
Cycle south to Cape Cross seal colony. Drive onto the adventure town of Swakopmund.
Today, we cycle south beside the sea to the Cape Cross seal colony, home to 250,000 fur seals. After checking out this amazing site, we transfer to Swakopmund, the adventure capital of Namibia, and check in at our hotel accommodation.
Accommodation Hotel
Distance 75km
Meals b
A free day to explore and sample the adventure activities of Swakopmund.
Arguably Namibia's premier holiday resort, the town of Swakopmund was founded in the last decade of the nineteenth century, as the principal deepwater port of German South West Africa. Today Swakopmund is a rather unusual place, with a quaint and atmospheric feel, sandwiched as it is between the Namib Desert and the cold Atlantic Ocean. It is as if a piece of 1950's Bavaria has somehow been cast ashore on the harsh Skeleton Coast. Amongst the distinctly Germanic architecture, an odd mix of peoples make their home: artists, world travellers, big-game fishermen, safari guides, hippies and stately african tribesmen. We spend the day at leisure in this wild and whacky port-town. There are lots of activities that can be arranged locally, such as boat trips in search of dolphins, or to visit a nearby seal colony, dune-boarding and even scenic flights over the Namib and along the Skeleton Coast – these are entirely optional and payable directly. Alternatively, you may choose to take it easy, visit the Crystal Galley, the aquarium, or stroll along the beach.

Meals b
Departure day. A single transfer to Windhoek Airport is provided.
There is no great rush this morning, but we do have a road journey of around 300 kilometres on good roads back to Windhoek. We will take our time and stop for lunch and then stop again in the town of Okahandja. This place is famous as a marketplace for wood carvings, which are brought here from all around the region. Spending some time at the market provides a good opportunity for us to stretch our legs, soak up that last little bit of Namibian culture and perhaps purchase some souvenirs. In the late afternoon, we drive to Windhoek Airport, where KE Land Only package services end.

View the gallery below for images of the style of accommodation used
Meal plan
Breakfast is provided every day. Lunches are provided on Days 2,3,4,5 and 6. Dinners are provided on Days 2,3,4 and 7.
Where we are staying at fixed camps and visiting areas where there are no restaurants, all meals are provided. The tour guide will prepare these meals, often working, at least in part, over an open fire. Our local guides pride themselves in being able to cater for a variety of tastes. Breakfasts include; cereals and milk with bread/toast, jam, yogurt, muesli and fruit with coffee and tea or the occasional cooked breakfast. Lunches are generally picnic-style, with cheeses, cold meats, tuna, fruit, pasta, salads and bread or rolls. Dinners tend to be potjies (stews), braais (barbecue), stir fries, curries etc. prepared either on an open fire or on a gas stove.
Joining Arrangements & Transfers
There will be a single group transfer from Windhoek Airport on the morning of Day 1 of the land Only itinerary, timed to meet the arrival of the preferred flight. At the end of the holiday, on Day 10 of the Land Only itinerary, there will be a single transfer back to Windhoek Airport early afternoon to meet the departure of the homeward flight.
Group Leader & Support Staff
The group will be accompanied at all times by a professional, English-speaking Namibian cycking guide. There will also be a support vehicle driver.
Spending Money
The unit of currency is the Namibian Dollar (note: South African Rand can also be used in Namibia). We recommend that you take £250 in cash (or the equivalent amount in US Dollars). This amount will allow you to pay for the non-included meals and also to pay a reasonable tip to local staff. If you are intending to buy expensive souvenirs, you should budget accordingly. Credit cards can be used to purchase goods and services and it is a good idea to carry one in case of emergency. You can exchange your currency to Namibian Dollars or South African Rand at Windhoek Airport. Traveller's cheques can only be exchanged in large towns like Windhoek and Swakopmund. Most towns also have ATM machines available. You should keep your money secure in a money belt.
Guidance on Tipping
Tips are the accepted way of saying 'thank you' to your local guide and other staff. They do not form part of their wages. KE always pays local crews the best rates of pay, no matter what country they are in and any tips they receive are seen as a personal thank you from group members. For our part, we advise local teams that they cannot expect to receive a tip and that, if they do, it is a bonus and entirely dependent on the service that is given. We recommend that you tip your crew, if you feel that the services provided have been good. As a rough guide, we suggest you allow a total of £50 for tipping your crew.
Baggage Allowance
Taking a bike on an aircraft is usually straightforward. Different airlines have differing policies with regard to baggage allowances and transporting bikes. We strongly advise that you check the current policy of your chosen airline for carrying bikes and their baggage allowances before purchasing your air ticket. The baggage section on your chosen airline's website will usually contain this information. We suggest that you are aware of the weight and dimensions of your intended check-in baggage in advance of your arrival at the airport as airlines may charge for both excess and oversize baggage, or refuse to carry oversized baggage. If you are using a domestic flight to connect with your International flight then it is likely that a different baggage policy will exist for the domestic and international flight sections. Again you should check the baggage policy with your chosen domestic airline prior to booking your domestic flight tickets. Any additional charges incurred for transporting your bike on any of the flights required for this adventure (international, domestic and internal flights within the trip itinerary - if applicable) are the responsibility of each individual client.
Vehicle Support
Throughout this trip we have the back up of one or more support vehicles. Each morning our main baggage will be loaded onto the support vehicle which will at times follow the group on the day's ride and at other times go ahead to set up a lunch stop or a camp. This biking circuit also includes regular vehicle transfers and our support vehicles must also double-up as game-viewing vehicles during our time at Etosha. The local biking leader and the support vehicle driver will watch over the group and we will have regular stops for drinks and to allow the biking group to reassemble. We want everyone to enjoy their cycling experience on this trip and we recognise the importance of group members being allowed to cycle at their own pace. The support vehicle will pick up any group members who wish to take a break from cycling at any time.
KE Trek Bag
All KE clients will receive a FREE KE trek bag. These have been specially made to stand up to the rigours of adventure travel. Your KE bag will be posted to you when your trip is guaranteed to run or on receipt of your booking if the trip is already guaranteed. If you have travelled with us before and already have a KE trek bag you can select an alternative free gift in the booking process.
The altitudes attained on this holiday are not extreme and the maximum altitude attained is no more than the equivalent of a pressurised cabin on an international flight. You may 'feel' the altitude when biking at close to 2000 metres, but all that is required is a slower pace to compensate. You should pay particular attention to your hydration levels when biking at these elevations.

- You should bring the following with you as a minimum. Whilst not essential, it is a good idea that you familiarise yourself with how to carry out at least some basic repairs e.g. fixing a puncture, changing an inner tube. Naturally the bike guide will always be happy to assist with any repairs, but due to the often remote nature of our trips, being able to carry out a simple repair can save time and inconvenience waiting for assistance.
Tyres - for this trip you will need 1.9 to 2.2 inch semi-slick tyres suitable for predominantly dry dirt road conditions.
- Pump
- Plastic tyre levers
- Small tube of grease
- 1 rear brake cable
- 1 rear gear cable
- Spare set of brake blocks / disc pads (front and rear)

- Spoke key
- 4 x inner tubes
- Liquid chain lube (bottle not aerosol)
- Multi-tool with allen keys
- Chain link extractor (if not on multi-tool)

- A rag and brush for cleaning bike and drive train.
- Spare chain links
- Spares specific to your bike**
KE tools and spares
- On all of our trips we carry a toolkit and a basic range of spares for emergencies. As bikes become increasingly part specific it is impossible to carry a comprehensive range of spares compatible with all makes and models of bike. **Please ensure you bring any bike-specific spares that might be needed - such as disc brake bleed kits (and appropriate fluid), shock pumps etc.
Energy Gels/Sports Drinks/Power Bars
- Our back up vehicle will carry ample supplies of water and lunches but if you like a particular energy gel, sports drink or power bar we suggest you bring a selection of your preferred choice along.
- It is possible to hire bikes for this holiday. Our local agent has Giant Revel 4 mountain bikes available in all sizes (S,M,L,XL). These are hardtail bikes with 26 inch wheels. They have Suntour 63mm forks, Shimano components and Tektro V brakes. Please refer to Bike Hire in the trip notes for an indication of hire costs. The bikes are equipped with flat pedals. If you prefer to use spd or clip-in pedals, you will need to bring these with you, along with your regular cycling shoes and cleats. Another item which you might choose to take with you on the holiday is your saddle. The hire bikes have standard saddles and anyone requiring more comfort, or a women-specific saddle, should consider taking their own. Helmets are not provided with the hire bikes and you will need to take your own. You will pay your bike hire fees directly to the local group leader in Sterling when the bike is delivered to you. This payment does not cover you if you lose the bike or damage it beyond 'fair wear and tear'. You will need to provide a photocopy of your passport information pages and your credit card details, as security against loss of or damage to the bike. If you want to hire a bike, please contact the KE office and we can reserve one on your behalf. We must stress that your hire contract will be with the local hire company and that KE cannot be held responsible for any issues arising from bike hire.
- Please do not hesitate to call us for further advice about what to bring or any other aspect of this trip. We are more than happy to offer you the benefit of our experience. Further helpful information can also be found in the Your Bike, Baggage Allowances, Climate and Travelling with Your Bike sections of the detailed trip notes.
Group Size and Holiday Status
For each holiday there is a minimum number of participants required to enable it to go ahead. Once the minimum number is reached, the trip status will change from 'Available' to 'Guaranteed to run'. You can check the trip status for each departure in 'Dates and Prices' table. Other than in exceptional circumstances, we will not cancel a trip once it has achieved this guaranteed to run status and so you are free to proceed with your international flight booking and other travel arrangements.
Passport & Visas
A passport with 6 months remaining validity at the end of your stay is generally required. The information that we provide is for UK passport holders. Please check the relevant embassy or consulate for other nationalities. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have the correct travel documents and visas for your holiday. Visa requirements and charges are subject to change without notice. If you are travelling outside the EU you should have at least 2 blank pages in your passport.
Electricity Supply & Plug
We recommend you check if you require an adaptor for your electrical items at:
Preparing For Your Trip
The better conditioned you are the more you will enjoy your trip. We suggest that you adopt a sensible weekly exercise regime and fit in a number of long cycle rides in hilly country to ensure you are physically capable of taking part in this trip - this will also provide you with an opportunity to make sure all your riding kit is tried and tested before you travel. Cycling is obviously the best activity to prepare for this trip, however, running, squash and swimming are also good for developing aerobic fitness and stamina.
Know before you go
As a reputable tour operator, KE supports the British Foreign & Commonwealth Offices 'Know before you go' campaign to enable British citizens to prepare for their journeys overseas, and we recommend that all KE travellers take a look at the FCO Travel Advice for their chosen destination on the official FCO website: www.fco.gov.uk. North Americans can also check out the U.S. Department of State website: www.travel.state.gov for essential travel advice and tips.
KE treat the safety and security of all clients as the most important aspect of any trip we organise. We would not run any trip that we did not consider reasonably safe. Should the FCO advise against travel for any reason, we will contact everyone booked to travel to discuss the situation. We receive regular updates direct from the FCO and are in constant touch with our contacts on the ground. If you have any questions about government travel advice, please call our office.
Namibia's climate is typical of semi-desert terrain, hot days and cool nights. Daytime temperatures are likely to range between 20 and 30 degrees centigrade. The coastal regions are cooled by the cold Benguela current, causing fog and some rainfall. With 300 days of sunshine on average per year, Namibia is truly a sunny place. Only during the summer months from November to the end of March does rain occur, mostly as heavy thunderstorms. Winter is from May to September with wonderful warm days which are contrasted by very cold nights, when temperatures can drop close to freezing.

Worst of the day
OK, so in scoring a combined 104 points, Colorado and Arizona set a new Pac-12 Championship game record for lowest combined score by 19 points, but lots of it had to do with solid defense. The Buffs shot only 38 percent and the Wildcats sat at a lowly 36.7 clip, but the two teams also only combined for 15 turnovers.
And it was remarkable that Colorado pulled off the win despite scoring three — yes, three — points in the last 9:12 of the game. Those three came off of the previously noted Carlon Brown dunk and a free throw. Sure, maybe it wasn't fun to watch. But if you appreciate good defense, overlooking the ugly statistics is much, much easier.
Faces in the crowd
Washington State coach Ken Bone was sitting somewhere in the stands to take in the game. I know this because during one timeout, a fan camera was focused on a crazy Arizona supporter, and it caught a stone-faced Bone watching as the lady made a fool of herself by dancing around. It's safe to say that Bone was not about to start Dougie-ing.
Remember when the media picked the Buffaloes to finish next-to-last in the Pac-12 despite it being a down year and teams like Utah and Arizona State looking to finish down there, too? Yeah, they lost a lot of players from last season, when they were an NCAA bubble team. Well, Tad Boyle's squad didn't buy it, and they used last year's snub and the media poll as motivation.
"We dedicated this game beforehand to Cory Higgins, Levi Knutson, Marcus Relphorde, Trent Beckley, Javon Coney, and Alec Burks," Boyle said. "Not a lot of you in this room may know those six guys, but those six guys sat in my home last year on Selection Sunday for their last opportunity to go to the NCAA Tournament, and they were snubbed. That inspired us. They picked us 11th. That inspired us."
Eyes and ears
The Buffs fans definitely traveled well in their first Pac-12 Tournament, and the athletic department even flew out some members of the student section. These guys are serious, too. One dude was dressed head to toe in a golden Halo get-up while another fellow had a black and gold Iron Man outfit.
Also, best fan sign of the weekend came courtesy of a CU student. "Cat people are weird." Simple, and kind of clever.

Woman fights Michael Jordan's harassment suitERIE, Pa. - A woman who claims Michael Jordan fathered her child wants the former NBA star to submit to a third paternity test. Lisa Miceli also is asking a judge to lift a temporary restraining order imposed after Jordan filed a harassment suit against her. Miceli, 35, of Meadville, claims Jordan fathered her 4-year-old son, but Jordan's lawsuit says a pair of 2005 paternity tests rule him out as the boy's father. Jordan's attorney Frederick J. Sperling participated in a hearing by phone Friday, denying Miceli's claims that the restraining order prevents her from negotiating a child-support agreement settlement with Jordan. Aaron Neville plans to return to New Orleans NEW ORLEANS - Aaron Neville is finally coming home to New Orleans - almost. The R&B singer, who bought a house in Brentwood, Tenn., after Hurricane Katrina, said he's buying a home near Covington, across Lake Pontchartrain about 40 miles from New Orleans. He expects to close on the property in the coming weeks. ""It's nice,' he told The Times-Picayune newspaper for a story on its Web site Friday. ""I can sit outside and watch the sun go down, then drive on in to New Orleans.' Neville was on tour with the Neville Brothers when Katrina hit in August 2005, leaving much of the city under water. Though he watched the disaster unfold from a distance, he couldn't see himself returning. UK appealing court decision allowing Snoop Dogg into country LONDON - Britain is appealing a court's decision to allow Snoop Dogg into the country, the Border Agency said Friday. He was barred from Britain after he was arrested on charges of violent disorder at London's Heathrow Airport in 2006. But the hip-hop heavyweight successfully appealed the ban and received entry clearance from an asylum and immigration tribunal in January. The Border Agency said Friday it would challenge the ruling at a hearing next week.

Donte' Stallworth was sentenced to a month in jail in the death of 59-year-old Mario Reyes. He began serving the sentence Tuesday after pleading guilty to driving under the influence manslaughter. / AP
Justice is often more theory than reality. It's less about black and white and more about green -- the more money available, the better access to the best legal counsel available and the easier to beat the rap. It has long been one of the unacknowledged pillars of the American legal system -- there's a hefty price tag to equal protection under the law.
Donte' Stallworth is celebrity's newest scourge because the wide receiver's NFL millions bought him only a month in jail for accidentally killing a pedestrian while driving under the influence in Miami three months ago.
Stallworth was criminally stupid that morning, and if he never plays another down in the NFL because of commissioner Roger Goodell's iron fist, he doesn't merit one shred of sympathy. But it would've been even more stupid if Stallworth didn't take full advantage of a judicial system dramatically skewed in favor of those rich enough to aggressively mount a counterattack against their accusers.
Nobody held a gun to the heads of the family of the deceased, forcing them to accept a sizable financial settlement from Stallworth against their will. They could've demanded that the state press forward with its prosecution. But they took the money. Nobody could blame them for seeking financial security in the aftermath of such a tragedy, but that decision effectively resolved the criminal case and ensured reduced jail time for Stallworth because he was fully admitting responsibility and orchestrating restitution.
But many would rather rail about the disproportion of Michael Vick's two-year sentence for operating an illegal interstate dogfighting ring as opposed to Stallworth's one-month behind bars for vehicular manslaughter.
However, nobody is equating the value of an animal's life with that of a human life!
Remove the dogs from the equation. Vick got two years in prison because he funded a federal felony. He lied to the government, not exactly a sound strategy if you're hoping for leniency. There was nobody higher-up in the chain of command of the illegal operation that he could've flipped to the government for a reduced charge because he was the man in charge of the operation. He also failed a drug test, thus violating the probation terms of a prior incident.
Where in that litany of damning facts is there any mention of dogs?
Each case must be judged on its own unique particulars, requiring a willingness to assess all the available information.
Stallworth clearly benefitted from his celebrity, but when you consider the 10 years' probation and the two years' house arrest that should cost him the continuation of his NFL career, he didn't exactly get a free pass from accountability either.

Defensive coordinator Bill Young was back, and so was the Oklahoma State defense.
A week after going M.I.A. in the desert in a 59-38 loss at Arizona, the Cowboys were back to business in Saturday's 65-24 win over Louisiana at Boone Pickens Stadium.
Defensive coordinator Bill Young was back, and so was the Oklahoma State defense.
A week after going M.I.A. in the desert in a 59-38 loss at Arizona, the Cowboys were back to business in Saturday's 65-24 win over Louisiana at Boone Pickens Stadium.
OSU posted a first-half shutout while the offense piled up 44 points, and Young was pleased with the effort in his first game of the season.
Young had missed the first two contests following an undisclosed medical procedure, but was glad to be back.
"It felt wonderful," Young said of his return to the sideline. "I think we had six three-and-outs, which was really good. We were better in all phases from last week."
Aside from a few minor tackling issues — though nothing as serious as the Arizona game — the Cowboys were strong defensively, with the first-teamers essentially allowing only 10 points and less than 300 yards.
"(The defense) was a very disappointed bunch this week," Young said. "They knew they didn't play up to their standards and they knew they needed to play better. They couldn't wait to get back on the field and show that."
Young also credited his players for not having "a lot of dumb penalties." The defense was responsible for many of OSU's record 167 penalty yards at Arizona. In all, OSU was penalized five times for 45 yards Saturday.
The Cowboys also recorded a takeaway for the first time in nearly eight quarters.
They failed to create a turnover at Arizona, but finally snapped the drought in the closing seconds of the first half Saturday with a fumble recovery.
It was the Cowboys' first takeaway since its first defensive series of the second half against Savannah State two weeks ago, and they quickly took advantage. On the next play, Quinn Sharp made a 44-yard field goal to end the first half.
OSU led the nation with 44 takeaways last season, yet the Pokes have only three this year.
Though he weighs 230 pounds and has come back from one of the worst knee injuries the OSU training staff has ever seen, Kye Staley showed that he still has a little zip.
The fullback caught a pass in the flat, got key blocks from Tracy Moore and Charlie Moore, and barreled 52 yards for a touchdown, the second of his career.
"I haven't run that long since high school," said the senior from Guthrie. "I try to do the best I can when I get the ball."
Staley finished with two catches for 65 yards. For his career, he had 10 catches for 81 yards and a touchdown entering the game.

Well, I'd say either Red Hat 9 or Fedora Core 1 (which is the free successor of Red Hat). Maybe Suse or Mandrake, but I have never used wither of them.
I can make you copies of either. If you want, PM me.

Ok, here's the deal...
My USB port is working. My external CD Burner was recognized and I was able to mount a disc. The hardware browser also recognized my USB Hub and my printer, however I am still not able to get my printer working.
I downloaded the HP driver, and ran the makefile, but the Hardware Browser is recognizing my printer as a Desk Jet 5100, not a 5150, which it is.
So, basically I need help getting the driver to work properly... I read the documentation, but I get lost in a hurry. It seems like I need to install CUPS, but I don't know what that means or how to do it...
Thanks again to all for your help and patience.... I have applauded each of you who have helped me get through this...
Thanks again,

Hi John,
you probably have cups installed already. It shouldn't matter that it is a bit off detecting your printer, because most HP's use the same driver (I have the same printer, and it works pretty good.)
You just need to start the cups daemon. Try, from a console typingCode:cupsd

No luck. Command not found. This is frustrating! I simple typed "cupsd" in the command line both as a regular user and as a super user. Same response both times.... Can you IM me?
I have not used red hat in a long time. Check on the menu to see if it has a tool for managing services. I'm pretty sure it does.
A) The classic rule of any OS: if all else fails... resart the computer
B) I went into the Printer Configuration tool and finagled the driver a bit. I didn't have my printer listed, but I used the driver listed for another HP model.. it seemed to work.
When I restarted Linux it detected my printer and configured it. It was still looking for my old printer.. a parallel connection... so I created a new Queue for the HP, selected a different driver.. and printed a test page.. IT WORKED...
Boy, you have to do a bit of work to get things goin, but it sure helps you learn how to use the system.
Thanks to all for all of your help.
I'll work on the Palm Problem on my own for a while. I have the printer and the CD burner working... so that's a big leap for one day.
Thanks again.
In UNIX like OS's, it is the work to make it work in the first place, not the upkeep like in MS based systems. Put simply once you get it up and going, there is rarely a need to do a single thing ... EVER. Just a security patch here and there.

Stuff We Like
Articles We Like
Washington Post article on sexual abuse of boys by women
I think this article highlights the difficulty boys have in getting the help they need after having been assaulted or violated by adult women. People assume an erection means a green light. It doesn't. Many female sex abuse victims become aroused and even orgasm during crimes against them, but it doesn't mean it's okay. If anything, these boys and girls need additional care because of the confusion that exists. Their bodies responded one way and their souls another way. Most people don't get this.
Our bodies repair themselves but our souls usually need help from others.
No matter how a body responds, when a child is tricked, seduced or coerced into a sexual situation by an adult or a much older young adult a scar is left because deep down the child knows they were objectified and used – made to feel small and powerless which is what the abuser is seeking from the sex. It is not an act of sharing, it is an act of taking.
If they remain silent, the victims may not be able to articulate the wound consciously for years, if ever, but something has been changed inside

8 Exercises to Improve Your Mental Health
As we age, our mental health deteriorates and we become less sharp. But just because your memory is fading and your problem-solving skills have weakened throughout the years doesn't mean you can't turn it around and improve your mental health today. All our brains need are some good teasers and training to come back to life. Here are eight exercises to improve your mental health.
Daily exercise and physical activity prevents disease and makes you stronger, but it also improves your mental health. Ever heard of a little thing called endorphins? These feel-good chemicals are released during exercise and other activities and have been known to increase feelings of euphoria, happiness, and well-being. In addition to the endorphin increase, exercise also reduces stress and anxiety, the common culprits of depression and other debilitating mental disorders. It doesn't matter if you walk, bike, swim, or weight-lift; all types of exercise are good for the body and mind.
The act of sitting still, closing your eyes, and clearing your thoughts can do wonders for your mind and body. Meditation means something different to everyone, and the benefits of regular meditation range

Cave Hill in Louisville is, like Brooklyn's Green-Wood, one of the finest, most beautiful public parks in the world. It also happens to be a sprawling cemetery, designed in the era of "garden cemeteries," full of opulent and/or spooky monuments and historic figures. Chartered in 1848 (just ten years after Green-Wood), Cave Hill has become a popular destination for strollers and history buffs. It is the last resting place of local and international figures like Colonel Sanders, Julian "Pappy" Van Winkle, cult film director William Girdler, the Frito-Lay magician, and a vast assortment of local generals, mayors, captains of industry, and luminaries. I set myself loose on the grounds armed with a Lomo LCA and Holga to wander aimlessly and capture some of my favorite spots in a cemetery so huge that there are still, all these decades later, unknown corners.

Last Resting Place of the Frito-Lay Magician
Not too long ago, whilst back in my home town of Louisville, we went on a brief late-afternoon sojourn to the city's historic Cave Hill Cemetery, of which we shall make mention many times in the future. The cemetery is well worth an entire day spent exploring it, but we were running late and looking for a specific grave (that of cult film director William Girdler). As is usually the case with any trip to Cave Hill, mere minutes after entering the vast rolling grounds, we were lost. It was as we tried to find our way back out before the cemetery gates were closed for the evening, presumably locking us in and fating us to a night battling ghosts, we stumbled across this, one of the cemetery's many interesting monuments and markers. Not one to let something curious pass by without investigating further, we stopped and found out what we could about this Harry Leon Collins, also known as the Frito-Lay Magician.

I don't see what being atheist has to do with this, I mean if you're Christian, Catholic, Baptist, Jewish, islamic, or a hindu. You should hate the WBC because of the things they do, not because of their religion.

Its his favourite part because he grew up in what would have been a family that constantly filled his mind with christian values aswell as their ****** up christian views. Its amazing that he became an atheist after being raised by such twisted people. It shows that he has an open mind and is able to overcome the odds. Atheism doesnt make you better necessarily but in this situation it speaks for his character.

I've noticed that a lot of the atheists that don't like to bash others for their beliefs (unless those other religions attack atheists or each other) like to stick together.
There's some sort of emotional attachment to someone who can not believe in what another believes and still respect others for their beliefs. Even if you do not know them.

Well it was probably just put there to show just how stark the contrast between him and his family is. They believe in what they say so intensely, that everyone knows and hates them.. while he pretty much acknowledges none of that, and the existence of god at all.

About MeI consider myself a novice photographer. I love to be on the end of a camera. Whether is pointing to earth, or the heaven's, it's a great feeling to be able to point & shoot. I do not have a private studio, but the outdoors is a continuous and endless art-form. I've done many photo-shoots from a New-Born Christening, to an Engagement, to Family Fun, to Graduations, & even to a Grandmother who got her groove back.
I am open to possibilities and am looking forward to many more adventures.

My research combines the disciplines of paleontology, comparative anatomy, and development to formulate and test phylogenetic hypotheses of vertebrate interrelationships. I am particularly concerned with assessing the role that fossils play in the interpretation of modern biodiversity and phylogenetics, as well as the role that phenotypic variation plays in the interpretation of vertebrate fossils and systematics. My studies include morphological changes across ontogeny and over deep time, which offer a way to investigate pattern and process in evolution, and help to generate more comprehensive hypotheses about how form and function interact. I make extensive use of museum collections worldwide for my specimens based research.
Much of my research has focused on cartilaginous and bony fishes. Fishes are a practically ubiquitous group of vertebrate with the potential to help formulate hypotheses for every other group of vertebrate known. With the propensity for an even distribution across a vast geographic area, biostratigraphic data for other vertebrates can be enhanced dramatically.

Remains of war dead dumped in landfill

The Dover Air Force Base mortuary for years disposed of portions of troops' remains by cremating them and dumping the ashes in a Virginia landfill, a practice that officials have since abandoned in favor of burial at sea.
The mortuary in Delaware, the main point of entry for the nation's war dead and the target of federal investigations of alleged mishandling of remains, engaged in the practice from 2003 to 2008, according to Air Force officials. The manner of disposal was not disclosed to relatives of fallen service members.
Air Force officials acknowledged the practice Wednesday in response to inquiries from The Washington Post. They said the procedure was limited to fragments or portions of body parts that were unable to be identified at first or were later recovered from the battlefield, and which family members had said could be disposed of by the military.
Lt. Gen. Darrell G. Jones, the Air Force's deputy chief for personnel, said the body parts were cremated, then incinerated, and then taken to a landfill by a military contractor. He likened the procedure to the disposal of medical waste.

Ducks in tough vs. South Florida
Oregon's spread offense is designed to create excellent running options, which running back Jonathan Stewart and quarterback Dennis Dixon, for the most part of the season, executed to perfection. With Dixon out, and the replacement not the same kind of breakaway threat, the Ducks will not run as much "true option" against favored South Florida in the Sun Bowl.
But by altering blocking assignments or formation alignments, UO offensive coordinator Chip Kelly can help his quarterback out. Most likely, the options will be choices of handing off to the dive back (Stewart or Andre Crenshaw) or pitching the ball to another back or receiver. Dixon ran the triple option, where he had three options: give, keep, or pitch, depending on the reaction of the defense. With less experience and speed at quarterback, Kelly will likely limit the quarterback's option keeps, although Justin Roper showed he could handle a bit of it against a very good Oregon State defense in the Civil War.
One of the most highly-touted defensive players in the country is South Florida's sophomore defensive end George Selvie (No. 95), who has 31.5 tackles for a loss this year and 14.5 sacks. He is a phenomenal athlete who can run plays down from behind. Look for the Ducks to run a reverse early to try to counter his reaction time. Watch also how Oregon's fine offensive line attempts to block him in passing situations. Likely, a back may stay in to help, or try to, anyway.
The Bulls have two excellent corners who are capable of shutting down outside wide receivers. Watch how Trae Williams (No. 21), who has run three interceptions back for touchdowns this year, and Mike Williams (No. 4) line up against Oregon. Will they play against the wide receivers, or if Jaison Williams is in the slot, will one of them play inside? How they line up will have a great deal to do with the formations the Ducks use to set up certain receivers for certain plays.
Ken Woody is a former Fox Sports football commentator who played defensive back, receiver and kicker for Oregon from 1966 to 1970. He coached college football for 18 years, including stints as an assistant coach at Oregon, Washington, WSU and Utah State, and was head coach at Whitman College and Washington University-St. Louis.

The Dictator frolics with supermodel Elisabetta Canalis at Cannes - in photos
To mark the start of the 65th Annual Cannes Film Festival on May 16, 2012, The Dictator – aka Admiral General Aladeen, aka Sacha Baron Cohen – was spotted frolicking with supermodel Elisabetta Canalis on a luxury yacht at Hotel Du Cap. The 'stunt' began playfully (even sexily) before Elisabetta fell foul of the General's temper and ended up in the sea (literally). View photos from the event…

Clariant opens new production unit for halogen-free flame retardants in Hürth-Knapsack
Published October 9, 2012
Clariant has established itself as a world leader in non-halogenated flame retardants, according to the company. By doubling the DEPAL capacity in Hürth, the company is responding to the growing demand for safe and environmentally friendly FRs for plastics in the global E&EE market. Exolit OP (based on organophosphorous compounds) has been manufactured at the Hürth-Knapsack plant since the product line was launched in 2004.
The efficient infrastructure of the Knapsack Chemical park and the central location of the site close to Cologne provide a solid basis for reliable and safe production, and ensure a high level of delivery reliability for customers.
Exolit OP has proven successful as a halogen-free flame retardant, particularly for engineering thermoplastics such as polyamides and polyesters, and is used in switches, plugs, PC fans, and structural and housing components. Smartphones, washing machines, and airplane parts, among others, contain the product. Other applications include thermosetting resins as well as cable sheaths and insulation made from thermoplastic elastomers. Exolit can give these plastics flame retardant properties that are otherwise only achievable with expensive high-performance plastics which are less easy to work with.
In most cases, a relatively small dose is sufficient to meet the strict fire protection regulations applicable in these market segments, as well as to comply with all environmental legislation such as European Directive 2011/65/EU on the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) in electrical and electronic equipment or European Directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).
Clariant has developed two new non-halogenated FRs in Hürth-Knapsack under the name Exolit EP specifically for the flame retardancy of epoxy resins. Both products are aimed at the requirements of printed circuit boards and therefore perform vital functions such as minimizing the impact of the FR on the glass transition temperature of the plastic, which is a key parameter in epoxy resin chemistry in this demanding application. In addition, it has been shown that Exolit EP can reduce the quantity of flame retardant required by up to 50% compared with conventional products.
Alongside the Exolit OP and EP product families, Clariant also manufactures the Exolit AP flame retardant, which is based on ammonium polyphosphates (AP). This FR renders polyolefins fit for use in electrical and electronic items and increases the fire resistance time of steel/building structures. Further product groups include Exolit RP, based on red phosphorous in various formulations and dosage forms for polyamides, and Exolit 5060, used for viscose fibers for protective and safety clothing.
