text: suicide Dave Mirra, A Superstar Of BMX, Has Died In What Police Say Was Suicide By Bill Chappell • Feb 5, 2016 BMX rider Dave Mirra, who for years dominated his sport even as he helped others embrace it, has died at age 41. Police in Greenville, N.C., say they found Mirra "sitting in a truck with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound." Police found Mirra in a parked vehicle shortly after he had visited friends in Greenville, where he had lived for years as an active member of the community. Mirra is survived by his wife and two daughters. Death at York Women's Prison Being Investigated as Suicide By Mary Lou Cooke • Jan 26, 2016 Thomas Hawk /thomashawk / Flickr Connecticut state police and the Department of Correction said they are investigating the death of an inmate at the York Correctional Institution in Niantic as a possible suicide. Connecticut and Missouri: a Contrast in Gun Policy and Gun Suicide Rates By Ray Hardman • Sep 3, 2015 R0Ng / Creative Commons Stringent gun permit laws may contribute to a drop in the gun suicide rate, according to a new study by the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research. The study contrasted the gun policies and gun suicide rates in Connecticut and Missouri. A Connecticut Widow Talks About Police Suicide and Stigma By Lucy Nalpathanchil • Jun 16, 2015 Trish Buchanan Listen Listening... / 2:13 Waterbury's Acting Deputy Police Chief, Chris Corbett, was laid to rest on Tuesday. He died from a self-inflicted gun shot wound last week. It's not uncommon: each year, more police die by suicide than are killed in the line of duty. U.S. Senate Unanimously Approves Bill to Reduce Suicide Rate Among Veterans By Lucy Nalpathanchil • Feb 3, 2015 Senate Democrats The U.S. Senate approved the Clay Hunt Suicide Prevention for American Veterans Act by a vote of 99-0 Tuesday afternoon. The bill seeks to improve mental health care and suicide prevention resources for veterans. The federal VA estimates 22 veterans die by suicide each day. Marine Clay Hunt has become the face of the suicide epidemic. Hunt killed himself in 2011 after deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. His family and veteran advocates say he struggled with post-traumatic stress disorder and received inadequate care from the VA before taking his own life. Talking About Suicide in Order to Prevent It By Jeff Cohen • Sep 19, 2014 preventsuicidect.org The state is rolling out a new campaign to get people talking about a topic they typically avoid: suicide. In 2013, there were more than suicides in Connecticut. According to the state, it's a number that has stayed relatively constant over time, and it's also a number that's lower than the national average. On the one hand, that's good news. On the other, fewer suicides would be even better. Surviving a Suicide By Colin McEnroe, Betsy Kaplan & Chion Wolf • Sep 3, 2014 Chion Wolf If things had gone according to his plan, Kevin Hines would have been dead for the last 14 years and therefore, not appearing on today's show. In September 2000, he jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge, the second most popular suicide site in the world. Somewhere around 1,600 people have jumped to their deaths from that bridge since it opened in 1937. The rate seems to be rising. But, this isn't really a show about that location. It's about what we learn from a person who survives a very serious suicide attempt. Talking About Suicide By John Dankosky, Betsy Kaplan, Tucker Ives, Lydia Brown, Heather Brandon & Catie Talarski • Aug 26, 2014 The recent death of actor Robin Williams left many people shocked, and it re-started the conversation about suicide, its warning signs, and ways to get help. We revisit a show we did about the illness last year. We also hear a moving story about depression from author Andrew Solomon, who shared it at The Connecticut Forum earlier this year. Robin Williams: A Supreme Talent Who Was Always On By Eric Deggans • Aug 12, 2014 For many years, Robin Williams seemed like a talent who had no off switch. From his standup comedy work to TV roles to talk show appearances to Oscar-caliber movies and performances on Broadway, Williams was a dervish of comedy — tossing off one-liners, biting asides and sidesplitting routines in a blizzard of accents, attitudes and goodhearted energy. Task Force Says Asking All Patients About Suicide Won't Cut Risk By editor • May 19, 2014 Suicide remains a leading cause of death in the United States, especially among teenagers and young adults. Anything that could reduce the toll would be good. But asking everyone who goes to the doctor if he is considering suicide isn't the answer, according to a federal panel that evaluated the effectiveness of existing screening tools for suicide. They found there wasn't enough evidence to know whether screening the general public helps or hurts. Public Testifies on "Aid in Dying" Bill By Jeff Cohen • Mar 17, 2014 photonewman/iStock / Thinkstock A legislative hearing was held Monday on a bill that would allow doctors to prescribe life-ending drugs to the terminally ill. The session brought emotional testimony from those both in favor and opposed. Poll Shows Support for Bill to Aid Suicide for Terminally Ill By Jeff Cohen • Mar 6, 2014 photonewman/iStock / Thinkstock A new poll shows Connecticut voters strongly support legislation allowing doctors to prescribe life-ending drugs to terminally ill patients. Quinnipiac Poll Released; Staples Closing Stores By Teri McCready • Mar 6, 2014 A Quinnipiac University poll released today shows Connecticut voters 61 to 32 percent support allowing doctors to legally prescribe lethal drugs to help terminally ill patients end their own lives. Voters were closely divided on whether they would ask a doctor to help them take their own life, as 39 percent say no in all cases, while 33 percent say they would if they were terminally ill. Legislature Will Revisit Right-To-Die Bill By Ray Hardman • Jan 30, 2014 Ray Hardman / WNPR Supporters of legislation that would allow terminally ill patients the right to die gathered at the Capitol Wednesday. The event was sponsored by the advocacy group Compassion & Choices. Last year's legislation that would have allowed a terminally ill patient to request medication from a doctor that would end his or her life didn't get out of the Public Health Committee. Right-to-die supporters say this year could be different, with a new aid in dying law in Vermont and a recent court action in New Mexico. Guns in America: By the Numbers By Heather Brandon & Tucker Ives • Dec 12, 2013 Digital Vision / Thinkstock As the slogan goes, "Guns don't kill people; people kill people." But the people who do get killed are frequently the ones pulling the trigger. Matthew Miller at the Harvard School of Public Health, who will appear Friday on WNPR's Where We Live, found that gun owners are more likely to die by suicide than non-owners. Across the U.S., the more available guns are, the more frequently suicide occurs. A Marine Remembered By Lucy Nalpathanchil • Nov 7, 2013 Photo provided by the Eldridge family The VA estimates 22 veterans commit suicide each day. There's a stigma that surrounds military suicides. When a loved one dies in this manner, grieving family and friends often don't talk about it openly. But Joanna Gallup Eldridge of Waterford says their stories need to be heard. Marine's Family Decides To Talk Openly About His Suicide By Lucy Nalpathanchil • Nov 7, 2013 Transcript DAVID GREENE, HOST: This is a stunning number. Every day in this country, an estimated 22 veterans take their own lives. Often military families suffer these tragedies privately. But the recent death of a Connecticut veteran is very much out in the open. Lucy Nalpathanchil from member station, WNPR has the story. Afghanistan War Veteran Takes Own Life By Lucy Nalpathanchil • Oct 30, 2013 Early Wednesday morning, WNPR learned of the tragic death of 31-year-old Justin Eldridge of Waterford. He was a Marine who served 8.5 years in the military including a deployment to Afghanistan. Connecticut Student Commits Suicide After First Day Of School By Diane Orson • Aug 30, 2013 A Greenwich High School student committed suicide this week, just hours after his first day of classes. A preliminary investigation revealed that 15-year old Bart Palosz died Tuesday of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Greenwich Police Lieutenant Craig Gray told WTNH that Palosz used a weapon that was stored inside a gun locker at his home. "The firearm was a family firearm, and it had been secured inside a gun safe," said Gray. Suicide Haunts New Generation Of Veterans By editor • Aug 1, 2013 It's estimated that more than 20 veterans kill themselves every day. A new survey of men and women who served in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan shows that mental health is the most important issue they face. How A Family Copes With Schizophrenia And Suicide By Jeff Cohen • Jul 24, 2013 Homer Bell was 54 years old when he killed himself in April in a very public way — he laid down his head in front of a stopped bus in his hometown of Hartford, Conn. It was the last act in a life filled with struggle, as Bell and his family endured his schizophrenia. At a time when there are calls to strengthen the mental health system, Bell's story shows how hard coping with mental illness can be. Suicide and Mental Health By John Dankosky • May 9, 2013 Chion Wolf Suicide rates have risen dramatically for middle-aged Americans in the last 10 years. The highest jump is for men aged 50-54. In a report released last week, the CDC says that more people aged 35-64 die from suicide than from car accidents, and they have been since 2009. This hour, we look at what might be behind this trend, and what resources are available for Connecticut residents struggling with mental health issues. Asians and the "Model Minority" Myth By Samaia Hernandez • Apr 22, 2013 Listen Listening... / Asian Americans have been dealing with the "model minority" myth for decades. And it's playing a role in high suicide rates. The idea of Asians as a model minority dates back to the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. Scholars began publishing articles that argued against themes of social reform. Bill Would Legalize Physician Assisted Suicide By Diane Orson • Mar 21, 2013 The legislature's Public Health Committee heard testimony Wednesday from supporters and opponents of a bill that would legalize physician-assisted suicide in Connecticut. The legislation would allow a physician to prescribe medication to a patient who has six months or less to live, and has been deemed mentally competent. The patient could then take the drug to end their life. Critics says Connecticut's bill lacks adequate safeguards and could lead to abuse of the disabled and elderly. VA Gives Gun Locks To Veterans To Prevent Suicides By Lucy Nalpathanchil • Mar 7, 2013 Lucy Nalpathanchil Every day an estimated twenty-two veterans kill themselves in the U.S. and most of them will use a gun to do so according to the US Department of Veterans Affairs. This trend mirrors the general population where more people kill themselves with guns than with all other methods combined. The VA is trying to help with a program that offers gun locks to veterans for free. The thinking is that if they lock their guns up they might not reach for them in the spur of the moment. The Rights and Dangers of Bearing Arms By John Dankosky • Feb 28, 2013 Michael Saechang / Creative Commons Today - we're talking about guns. It seems like that's all we've been talking about since the mass shooting in Newtown that left 20 children and 6 educators dead. While that crime left people stunned because of the horrific circumstances, Newtown is only part of a much bigger problem. Suicide 'Epidemic' Among Active Duty Military and Veterans By Lucy Nalpathanchil • Dec 13, 2012 Photo courtesy of Truthout.org Listen Listening... / Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has called on military leaders to explore a "epidemic" of suicide among active duty servicemembers and veterans. Each day, 18 veterans kill themselves according to the federal Department of Veterans Affairs. In Connecticut, 30 veterans have died this way since 2009, but those are only the suicides that the VA knows about. Bullied No More By John Dankosky • Nov 29, 2012 Death At College By Diane Orson • May 17, 2012 As colleges around the region wrap up for the year, we turn our attention to a surprising and disturbing fact. Suicide is the second leading cause of death among college students. In April, a 19-year old Yale University freshman - Zachary Brunt of Alexandria, Virginia – took his own life. He was found dead in a physics lab. The following story is in two parts. We begin by hearing the voices of two friends of Zach's. PART ONE VA Commissioner Highlights Programs to Combat Suicide Among Veterans By Lucy Nalpathanchil • Dec 28, 2011 Photo by Tyler Antrim A lot of attention has been paid lately to troops coming home from Iraq now that the war is over. But thousands of soldiers who have served post 9-11 are home already and many continue to struggle in civilian life. One of these struggles is combating suicidal thoughts. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs finds that eighteen veterans die by suicide each day. In Connecticut, Commissioner of Veterans Affairs, Linda Schwartz says in the last year, an estimated fourteen veterans in the state committed suicide. But she stresses suicide is often underreported.

Angels Hit The Accelerator With Calhoun
After batting .324/.410/.547 for high Class A Inland Empire last season, outfielder Kole Calhoun figured to take a step up in the Angels farm system. Instead, he made a jump.
After batting .324/.410/.547 for high Class A Inland Empire last season, outfielder Kole Calhoun figured to take a step up in the Angels farm system. Instead, he made a jump.
Jean Segura clearly made a big impression during his time in major league camp with the Angels this spring.
Garrett Richards made his major league debut at Yankee Stadium in 2011 and may make his first 2012 appearance there too.
The Angels are optimistic that last year's first-round draft pick, C.J. Cron, will not be hampered in 2012 by the knee and shoulder injuries that clouded his professional debut last summer.<br/>
The Angels have been behind the Rangers the last two seasons so they went straight to the source for help in finishing ahead.
The Angels spent most of the final day of the Winter Meetings focusing on Albert Pujols and C.J. Wilson. So you can't blame them for inactivity in the Rule 5 draft. Or you can look at it another way and say the Angels thought it better to give rather than receive.
Correspondent Kevin Baxter selects end-of-season awards for the Angels organization, naming a best player, best pitcher and a player to monitor in 2012.
The Angels feel confident Mike Trout will succeed in the big leagues, not only because of his talent but also his mature beyond his years approach.
Injuries, absences make for tough year for Angels.
Picking the best player, biggest leap forward and biggest disappointment in the Angels farm system over the first half of the season.
The Angels selected arguably the best college power-hitter in the draft in C.J. Cron, whose father Chris previously played for the club.
Diminutive second baseman Alexi Amarista has been a hit since joining the Angels. He dedicates his success to his father, who shot in a home-invasion robbery in Venezuela.
ANAHEIM The Angels never gave Brandon Wood 250 at-bats in a season. In five seasons, he never gave them a batting average above .200. Wood, 26, and the Angels finally […]
The Angels were so impressed with second baseman Jean Segura's first full season last year that they're moving him to shortstop.
TEMPE, Ariz. Winter ball in Latin America is not a nurturing place for a prospect. "I had a really poor two or three games," Mark Trumbo said. "I was hearing […]
After a year out of baseball, 62-year-old Tom Gamboa comes out of retirement to manage the Angels new high Class A Inland Empire affiliate.
Peter Bourjos should bring plenty of defense to the Angels' outfield, but will he hit enough to stay in the lineup?
Gary DiSarcina had an ideal job. He worked for his hometown Red Sox, as a minor league manager and instructor. But when the Angels called, DiSarcina answered. This, after all, was his baseball home. He didn't have to think too long before accepting a job with the Angels as special assistant to general manager Tony Reagins.
The Angels cast a favorable eye on righthanded relievers with the fastest of fastballs. The harder you throw, the better your chances, generally speaking. When you hit 99 mph, your chances are pretty good. Ysmael Carmona touched 99 this season, and the Angels added him to the 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.
The Angels did not expect much from first-round pick Kaleb Cowart this summer. They did not sign him until Aug. 16, and they sent him to their Arizona training complex to "shake off the rust," as farm director Abe Flores put it.

This will be my third season with the mower. It is exceptional. It always starts and consistently cuts the grass at the correct height, even at maximum speed. We have five acres that we mow. The speed of the mower has reduced my cutting time by 50%. I have more time for other projects. Servicing is easy. Changing the oil is simple and not messy. Nothing has shaken loose on the machine. I check it often and have not had any service issues. BTW, the ride is very comfortable. I like stretching out while I mow and listen to my iPod. This is my 2nd Gravely Zero Turn. We use both, but the Pro-Master is much easier to use. My wife is not imitated to use it. There is nothing like coming home and, surprise, the yard is mowed.

We have 2 Gravely zero turn mowers a 260 and a 266 and they mow approximately 60 acres of residential and commercial property a week. They do a great job of mowing, the high tip speed of the blades mow great and on the occasions when the grass gets long they spread it out to minimize clumping. The features are only average nothing thrilling. As far as value yes they are cheaper than some of the more known zero turns but I guess you get what you pay for. during the 2 year warranty the parking brake had to be replaced on each one of them for some reason one decided to eat belts, then the clutch froze which caused a fire these are just some of the more serious problems we have experienced. and now with warranty expired another brake has failed and needs to be repaired. Design is only fair I sometimes wonder why it was built the way it was. I would not recommend this mower for commercial use however maybe for a home owner it would be ok as I said it does do a nice job mowing.

Promaster 260z
By Anonymous
from Undisclosed
I own a gravely promaster 260 (2009 model). It is on of the best mowers I ever owned for value and performance. The pivoting front end makes a huge difference on hills and rough terrain. Plus you have the added feature of locking the front end and having a ridgid front like most other commercial mowers, the cut quality and the build of the mower is top notch. I would recommend the promaster to any serious landscaper.

design flaws
By steve
from nd
well over all the 260 is fine but if you have one with the front ribbed tires . buyer beware. i mow from side to side and the front tire on the left side packs the grass down and the deck doesnt create enough vacuum and well in a nut shell you either leave a stripe or you cant use all 60'' every pass i think i was only getting the preformance of a 52'' deck because of the wide ribbed tire on the front of these mowers . i believe the tires are the problem. because i have seen othere gravely mowers with the 60'' deck and with smooth front tires mow just as nice as can be.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The hydrolic lift for the deck is garbage on the 260
By Robert
from Raleigh, NC
I am a professional at grass cutting. I have only bought Gravely machines for years. I was forced to buy the mower with the hydrolic lift because the dealer said that is the only way they come now. It cost me $800.00 more for that one thing. I hate it. The plastic spacers will not last 6 months. After 2 months they are already loose and tree limbs will knock them off. In 5 years I have bought 5 Pro Master 260's and 3 Pro walk behinds. I will not buy another 260 with the hydrolic lift ever again. You should take the lift design from the Pro Turn 460 and put it on the 260 and leave it alone. I Demoed the 460 mthis week and love the seat and the lift for the deck but nothing else. Put the seat and lift on the 260 and you will have a great machine. I hope I don't need to look for another supplier for my mowers. I will not buy yours again unless you change the desing back to what works. You are more than welcome to call me. You can get my number from Clay's in Raleigh, NC where I buy my equipment. This is a bad as when you did away with the pistol grip walk behind. Robert

I don't know how it could be improved.
By Bill
from Rantoul
Better than my old ProMaster 50, which by the way, is 30 years old and still running. Very comfortable to mow with and does an excellent job.The only improvement I could see would be a smaller model for smaller yards. This mower cuts my ditchbanks just as easily as my yard. I hope it lasts as long as my old one.
Very Durable - Handles Any Job
By Rick
from Sherman, TX
I have 2 1/2 acres of yard and 160 acres of fenced off land/hay fields/holding pens/etc. I use this mower to manacure my yard and I also use it to keep my fence rows clean.PROS: Whether in my "clean" yard or over ruff fence rows with 2 foot weeds, this mower handles it all. It never bogs down and handles the terrain perfectly. Maintenance is very easy.CONS: 1) I wish it was a diesel; 2) you get absolutely filthy from the discharge if the wind is blowing :(

Pro Master Z 260
By Chad
from Athens, TN
I have been mowing for about 10 years and have had several brands. This mower by far is the best mower I've ever owned. I have been using it since 2006 and have over a 1000 hours on it. The cut is great. The hydrolic lift is the best feature on the mower, the jack is a must. Makes sharping the blades and cleaning the deck breeze. What really amazed me is how well it mows in wet grass. The 27 hp just glides through any type of grass. Save yourself time and go check one out.
Best zero turn on the market.
By Jim
from NORTHWEST IOWA
I have owned this mower since 2003 and have over 600 hours on it Other than oil changes and new blades I have never spent a time on this mower. It performs in all condtions and makes mowing fun, not a chore. I have used other zero turns: john deere, bush hog, exmark and my gravely is hands down the best.
Now is a great time to buy new Gravely commercial landscaping equipment. Professionals who work all day, every day count on The American Workhorse. You can too!

Still running. but what from?
If Neil's still singing, then whats young?
Lyric Meaning
Shad posits that maybe the reason he still looks like he did in 6th grade is that he's still chasing after youth. But why?
Neil Young is a fellow Canadian, as well as a singer/songwriter and rock'n'roll/folk legend. He's been making influential music since the 1960s with the group Buffalo Springfield (another Buffalo reference), and he's still singing to this day.
Shad is saying that if Neil Young is still singing and living his dream almost 40 years later, what does being "young" really do for you, and why is he chasing it?

Reviews of Okonjima Plains Camp
They do not necessarily represent the views of Expert Africa.
Good game tracking at Okonjima
We wanted to visit Okonjima to learn more about the work of the Africat foundation. We probably needed more than the 2 nights we allowed in order to get a full understanding. We were surprised by the variety of game that we saw on the game drives, beyond the cheetah and leopard for which the camp is renowned.
On our first game drive we encountered cheetah that were semi-tame, contained within an enclosure, and not themselves capable to hunt game. On other drives, we used radio antenna to track leopard and hyena that had been collared, and were living in the wild. We got the impression that we might not have found the leopard at all by more 'normal' tracking methods.
We also enjoyed night game viewing of animals from a hide, where food is routinely left for them in a prepared location. These were excellent experiences, but they felt a little contrived, and different from our previous game viewing activities. We also felt that the presentation of Africat work was somewaht low key.
Okonjima Main Camp review
We were upgraded to a Bush Chalet (we had been booked into the Main Camp). This was superb.
Service was excellent and the best we experienced in Namibia. In addition the food was also excellent. Although the animals are in an 'enclosed' space -- this is so huge (thousands of square kilometers) that even the animals that are radio-collared were difficult to find.
Brilliant place for Cheetahs!
We were booked in to stay at the Main Camp but got an upgrade to the Bush Camp. It was such a lovely place. The lodges are far apart from one other and very well appointed.
Main draw here for us are the cheetahs and we had a lovely afternoon seeing six of them. Activity is itself limited to well worn tracks within well-secured pens. You will not see any part of the action or works they do here, as they are all tucked away somewhere.
The guided walk tracking collared hyena is very good in itself as you get chance to have a couple of hours to walk and get a bit of exercise.
The waterhole by the main area is lovely and lots of Oryx's' are always around. They serve lovely a breakfast and especially the freshly made omelets. The dinners are very good and have a very nice selection of wine too. There are very friendly and professional staff and guides, which made our stay very memorable. We loved the swimming pool here.
Okonjima Main Camp review
Good situation with fine communal facilities and pool and well planned rooms with the large picture windows giving a great outlook both by day and at night. The food was very good as was the service. The outings were enjoyable and we managed to see all that we had hoped to, and were enhanced by the knowledgeable and lively banter between the guides driving our vehicles.
One of our party had a birthday during our stay, and arranged for special pre-dinner drinks to be served. The method of preparation was unknown to the staff, but during our afternoon excursion, they had consulted the internet and prepared two alternative versions for us which showed commendable initiative and commitment to service. Following this, at our brunch after the next morning's excursion, we were provided with two complementary bottles of champagne, a very thoughtful touch.
The one slight downside was the fact that a small number of staff carried pistols, which surprisingly were said to be for personal protection after an organised robbery at the site a couple of years ago and the theft of the camp's takings in the local town en route to the bank. However security arrangements appeared to be very good and there was no feeling of concern whatsoever among our group. In fact only a couple of the more observant, and ex-military, members of the group noticed the weapons and made the subsequent enquiry.
Okonjima Main Camp review
We would have liked to stay here longer!!!
In our opinion, Michael was the best guide we had on the whole trip, very knowledgeable, mature and calm about what he does. The food was good and the pool was superb.
The Leopard drive in the morning was great fun and if we had stayed another night I would have gone on the Cheetah drive again. It was so nice to see them with space and lots of shelter.
an excellent place to visit
what a wonderful place with really good trips to see cheetahs and leopards which were quite magnificent. The whole experience from arrival to departure could not be faulted.
I left wishing we had had more time here.
The cats were a treat
I did not think that seeing radio-collared leopards would be a big treat, but it was actually quite exciting.
The new rooms are beautiful; the older rooms looked as though they were small, but I did not see any interiors.
The gardens were a great place to relax, with many birds (thanks to several birdfeeders).
We only stayed here one night, but I think two would have been nice, because there seemed to be good walking, in addition to the cat-viewing rides, and it was just a nice place to hang out.

Okonjima Main Camp review
After a minor hiccup regarding which room grade we had booked, fortunately Expert Africa's voucher system confirmed our booking precisely our luggage was transferred to one of the new view rooms ( a bungalow really ).. These are huge with a wall of glass over looking the savannah.
We arrived early afternoon and after lunch went on a game drive in search of Leopard... did we find one ? yes we did.... a beautiful male out walking, thanks to our guide.
Back at the lodge we had a very good evening meal with our guide.. Martin... joining us which was a very nice touch.
After dinner we went to a hide to watch porcupine.
In the morning after breakfast we went on another drive this time to look for cheetah... did we find them ? yes we did... not one but 5.. and they came right up close to the vehicle.
On the way back we also found a female leopard with a cub although they were hard to see as they were so well concealed in the bushes.
Our only negative comment was that the gift shop was closed and since the trust receives its income from the lodge and shop we found it strange that they were not prepared to open it... this was our last day in Namibia and we were ready to buy gifts... this therefore had to wait until we were in Cape Town

Welcome to the week! Let's not dwell on the fact it's a Monday, let's just get right involved with as much celebrity goss as we can shake a stick at. And where better to start than with the X Factor, which has been accused of fakery after it emerged One Direction's performance on Saturday was pre-recorded and not live!
Thankfully last night's show was totally live - find out who left here.
The One Direction lads were interviewed on Xtra Factor, to coincide with their appearance. Nothing strange about that is there? YES! Because if you remember correctly, there was that little fling between Xtra Factor host Caroline Flack and the much younger Harry Styles! Check out their awkwardness here, it's pretty awesome.
Next week's theme is going to be Guilty Pleasures - we've decided Rylan Clark is ours and we don't care who knows it.
I'm A Celeb started again last night and while everyone's mainly interested in seeing Helen Flanagan in her bikini, there are a few others in there with her. Find out what happened in the first episode here, where you'll also get that bikini shot.
Heidi has got caught the Gangnam Style bug - it's an official illness.
McFly frontman Tom Fletcher has denied giving One Direction "sh*t" songs and keeping the 'better' tracks for his own band.
He criticised a newspaper story on Twitter this morning after they printed a story as fact, while the singer-songwriter claims the quotes were obviously a joke.
Talking to Metro, Tom said: "We just worked on a couple of songs on their new album. They came over to do a writing session and I had a few song ideas.
"It's hard when you're writing for someone else. You obviously always want to do your best work, but sometimes you write and have a song idea and you're like, 'Oh, it's so good I want to keep it for us'."
Bandmate Danny Jones asked Tom: "You sent that slightly s**tter one, didn't ya?"
He added: "So I played them a few song ideas and they went for one of the others. I was like, yes!"
But Tom obviously feels he's been somewhat misquoted and denies the accusations.
Taking to Twitter to vent his anger, he posted: "So, the stuff in the press today about us giving One Direction our "sh*t" songs is obviously completely false.
"What Danny said was obviously a joke. We would never, NEVER, give anyone "shit" songs and as I clearly say in the interview: "You obviously always want to do your best work".
"In fact all 3 songs I've written for 1D are some of my favourites I've EVER written and I genuinely would have kept them for mcfly but I have never, and will never give anyone second rate songs.
"How would that ever be good for me as a song writer? And the most important point of all is…I've never written a shit song ;)"
Tom wrote the songs I Want (which featured on 1D's debut album Up All Night) and I Would for new album Take Me Home.
There's a little pattern… we're no songwriters but we reckon the next song he contributes to One Direction might be called I Will.
On the subject of McFly, Radio 1 are refusing to play their single Love Is Easy, because of the whole target audience thing. McFly are at number three on itunes, Robbie Williams is at number one in the official charts - neither of these artists will be heard on the station. Is it just us that thinks this is ludicrous?
Frankie Cocozza's first single went in at number 89, but he doesn't care: "Didn't know I had a single out, but would anyone expect any better than 89 anyway? F*cking epic," he Tweeted earlier. He did also point out though that the EP "peaked at number 6 on the iTunes pop chart which is pretty good," so yeah, he probably does care a bit.
George from Union J has just Tweeted this picture with the message: "Aww Joshy in his new monkey all in one! Haha! George x" As if teenage girls everywhere didn't want to cuddle him enough...
Katherine Jenkins (you know, the one who didn't have an affair with David Beckham), is teaming up with Il Divo for the first time and going off on tour in April next year. Tickets go on sale on Friday November 16, here www.ticketmaster.co.uk.
She'll also be starring in a TV special called Steppin Out with Katherine Jenkins on ITV1 in early December, for those who can't wait until next year to see her face. Not David Beckham, obviously.
Day two of Capital's Jingle Bell Ball has sold out in less than two hours after the tickets went on sale. It's hardly surprising really since the likes of Girls Aloud, Pink, The Wanted, Rita Ora, Calvin Harris, Conor Maynard and Example are playing at the 02 Arena on December 9. BUT, because you know us, you can still get tickets HERE.
Don't say we never give you anything (you still have to pay though, so yeah, we're not really giving you anything but a heads up).
Peaches Geldof has told how she had a bit of a meltdown when she found out she was pregnant for the second time. Her son Astala is only six months old and she's already three and half months gone with another boy, who will be called Phaedra after a Greek play.
"I did have a momentary panic and go, 'Oh my God, we're going to have a one-year-old and a one-month-old! How will we cope?" she told Hello! mag. But she said her husband Tom Cohen put her mind at rest and now she can't wait to be a mum of two and move to Surrey. How times change, eh?
Their work is here is done obviously now their latest single, I Found You, has reached number three in the charts, because The Wanted have Tweeted: "ello ello it's #MaxMonday, start of another week & we're heading back out to the US of A today excited to see the #USFanmily :D."
It's never too early for junk food if your name's Professor Green: "off to sort out car fiasco and then to make music, but not before we eat pizza."
Usher is selling the mansion where his ex-wife Tameka still lives for $3.2million if anyone has that kicking about? Anyone? TMZ.com reports it has six bedrooms, seven baths, 10-foot ceilings, a pool, gym and a library.
Apparently Tameka's ok about getting kicked out - let's face it, who needs more baths than beds anyway?
Beauty bargain alert! This week's Mirror Bargain Power flash sale is now live. Save at least 60% off RoC's Sublime Energy Rejuvenation Trio. The more people join, the cheaper it will be, so share the link!
Chipmunk and Jahmene could be joining forces! Mr Munk just replied to Jahmene's Tweet with this: "100% just keep going in! RT @JahmeneDouglas: @OfficialChip collaboration someday ?" Mind you, he didn't have much option really...
Rita Ora is getting right in with her possible future sis-in-law. She posted this snap from the MTV Awards. Another Kardashian wedding on the cards?
Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez have split up. He performed a cover of Justin Timberlake's Cry Me A River during a concert over the weekend. Coincidence? Of course not!
If 1D's Zayn was wondering why girlfriend Perrie Edwards from Little Mix hadn't replied to his text, this might be why: "Todays been the worst day ever! My phone fell in the toilet & it has my life on there!! BUT...... put it in the tumble dryer and now it works! :O :D ITS A MIRACLE!! I'm so happy, I'm 2 hours late for work now though, ooops! (: Perrie <3."
Lisa Maxwell just dropped the s-word live on ITV's This Morning. To be fair on her, producers of the show should have expected it by making someone put their hand in a box of creepy crawley nasties, I'm A Celeb style.
The Bieber has done a bit of confused sharing on his split with Selena Gomez. He gave a radio interview to Open House Party in the US and said this: "I don't know what to say.
"I don't know what's going on in my life . . . To even assess that it doesn't make sense 'cause I have not made any comment."
We're guessing his Facebook relationship status reads, 'It's complicated'.
Did you catch Nadine Coyle swearing on Radio 1 this morning? Listen to the naughty singer below - warning, audio contains a swear word. Hence the point of it.

The Fourteen Questions to Which Buddha Remained Silent
February 2007
There are fourteen unspecified points (lung-du ma-bstan-pa bcu-bzhi), which are points about which Buddha did not specify an answer when asked. Often this set of fourteen is referred to as the "fourteen questions to which Buddha remained silent."
The Mahayana Version
To those who believe in a true findably existent "me" or "self" (bdag, Skt. atman) and a true findably existent universe, Buddha did not answer when they asked are the "I" or the "self" and the universe:
not eternal, since they undergo gross impermanence at the time of their destruction,
as both, in the sense that some beings and their environments, like the Creator Brahma and his heaven, are eternal; while all else, such as his creations, are not eternal and end at the time of their destruction,
neither, since it is impossible to know?
Are "I's" or "selves" and the universe:
both finite and infinite, in the sense that limited beings (sentient beings) are infinite in number, but the universe is finite in size,
neither, since it is impossible to know?
Does the "I" or the "self" of a Buddha:
continue to exist after death,
not continue after death,
both, in the sense that the body does not continue, but the life-force (srog) does,
Buddha did not answer these because there is no such thing as a true findably existent "me" or " self" for either limited beings (sentient beings) or a Buddha, and no such thing as a true findably existent universe. Therefore, there can be no question whether such things are eternal or not eternal, or finite or infinite. It is like asking do rabbit-horns, turtle-hair or chicken-lips last forever or only a limited time. If Buddha said the "me," and so on are eternal, these people would fall to the position of eternalism. If he said they are not eternal, they would fall to the position of nihilism, since they would not understand his answer. Therefore, it was more skillful not to specify an answer at all.
To those who believe in a true findably existent body and life-force, Buddha did not answer when they asked are the body and life-force:
the same entity,
totally separate and different entities?
He remained silent for a similar reason, since they would only misunderstand anything he said.
The Theravada Version
An earlier, abbreviated list of ten unspecified points appears in the Pali canon in the Sutta of Shorter (Instructions) to Malunkya (Pali: Cula-Malunkyovada Sutta, within the The Collection of Middle-Length Discourses (Pali: Majjhima Nikaya). In this version, the monk Malunkyaputta was continuously distracted by metaphysical speculation during his meditation. In order to turn him back to his intensive meditation practice, Buddha remained silent when Malunkyaputta asked whether:
the universe is eternal,
the universe is not eternal,
the universe is finite,
the universe is infinite,
after death, a Buddha continues to exist,
after death, a Buddha does not continue to exist,
after death, a Buddha both continues to exist and not to exist,
after death, a Buddha neither continues to exist or not to exist,
the body and the "self" are the same entity,
the body and the "self" are totally separate and different entities.

Bengal surpasses target for water harvesting: Mamata Banerjee
Posted on Jan 15 2014 | IANS
Kolkata, Jan 15 : West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee Wednesday said her government, in the last two-and-half years, had surpassed the five-year target it had set for water harvesting in the state.
Banerjee said while the aim was excavation of 50,000 water bodies in five years, more than a lakh have already been dug.
"It was in our assembly election manifesto to create 10,000 water bodies every year in the state, so that 50,000 water bodies are excavated in five years' time. To fulfil our commitment, we had taken up the task of 'Jal Dharo, Jal Bharo' (water harvesting) programme in all earnestness," Banerjee said on her Facebook page.
"I am happy to share with you that within only two and half years of our government, we have exceeded our five-year target and already excavated 1,02,618 water bodies."
She stressed that such measures are imperative to tackle the effects of global warming.
"In the present scenario of global warming, it is necessary to focus on ecological balancing. These water bodies will play a significant role not only in ecological balancing, but also in water harvesting, pisciculture and supporting micro-irrigation in the rural areas," she said.

A court in Azerbaijan on Wednesday extended the pre-trial detention of two prominent opposition leaders accused of fomenting rare anti-government riots in the tightly-controlled former Soviet state, opposition activists said.
Ilgar Mammadov -- who heads the Republican Alternative (REAL) movement -- and Tofig Yagublu -- deputy head of opposition group Musavat -- were handed an additional three months in jail in closed court hearings in Baku where they are awaiting trial on charges of causing mass disorder and resisting state officials.
"The prosecution said that investigations were continuing and for that reason it was necessary to extend the term of detention," REAL executive secretary Natig Cafarli told AFP, in reference to Mammadov.
The two activists were arrested in early February on accusations that they organised an outbreak of rioting in the provincial town of Ismayilli in January that saw police use rubber bullets, tear gas and water cannons to disperse thousands of protestors.
Azerbaijan's weakened opposition denied any role in the rampage in which angry residents torched buildings and cars following a minor car crash and fight allegedly involving a relative of the local governor.
The Amnesty International rights watchdog has called the charges against Yagublu and Mammadov -- who wants to run in presidential elections later this year -- "politically motivated".
The men face up to 10 years in prison if found guilty, Amnesty said.
Any display of public discontent and political dissent usually meets a tough government reaction in Azerbaijan, an oil-rich state on the Caspian sea ruled by strongman President Ilham Aliyev.
A spate of further protests in recent months including one over alleged hazing in the army has been ruthlessly suppressed by police and scores of activists have been detained.
Azerbaijan's government has long been accused of stifling free speech, jailing opponents and crushing dissent.
Aliyev, who has been in power since succeeding his father Heydar, a former KGB officer and Communist-era boss as president in 2003, faces presidential elections in October, in a vote that he looks certain to win.

It's Friday once again, which means it's time for another round of my Five For Friday: Five Thoughts about the Auto Industry for June 7, 2013. Jeep says 'no' to the NHTSA, the 2014 Toyota Corolla is here, GM and Lincoln adopt different philosophies on free maintenance, and glowing Mercedes-Benz logos invade the streets - let's look at my take on the most noteworthy and interesting automotive stories from the past week.
01. Jeep Defies NHTSA Recall Request
It's always awkward when a federal agency accuses your vehicles of harboring a major safety flaw. It's even less comfortable when they issue a recall based on statistical probability and not a defect with a particular component that has actually been identified. But people squirm the hardest when a car company simply says 'no' to that recall request and leaves the vehicles in question in the hands of owners.
This is currently the case with Jeep, as the brand - and its parent company, Chrysler - have elected not to comply with the NHTSA's request that it recall 2.7 million Grand Cherokee and Liberty SUVs. The NHTSA claims that Jeep Grand Cherokee models built between 1993 and 2004, as well as Jeep Liberty examples produced from 2007 to 2007 have a flaw in their fuel tank placement that puts them at greater risk for fires when involved in a rear end collision. The Administration points to the number of fire deaths that have occurred during the course of the last two decades as proof, but Jeep is holding out until the NHTSA actually proves that there is a specific problem with the design in question. Meanwhile, these vehicles remain on the road.
02. New 2014 Toyota Corolla Breaks Cover
The 2014 Toyota Corolla has been unveiled, and it presents compact sedan buyers with a far more visually interesting shape when compared to the current, and aging, model. The new Toyota Corolla is also much larger than ever before, and in fact dwarfs several of its competitors when it comes to interior space thanks to a wheelbase that as been extended by four inches. The 2014 Toyota Corolla, which goes on sale this coming September, will attempt to reverse a sales slide with a pair of 1.8-liter, four-cylinder engine options, a new continuously-variable automatic transmission, and better fuel mileage than the outgoing edition of the car.
03. GM Steps Up With Free Maintenance
After luring in truck buyers with a range of similar promotions in recent months, General Motors has elected to go whole-hog and extend its free maintenance program to almost ever vehicle underneath its corporate umbrella. What this means is that for 2014, buyers and those leasing Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC vehicles will enjoy two years of free oil changes, tire rotations, and inspections (up to 20,000 miles). Cadillac buyers already benefit from a four-year / 50,000 mile free maintenance program.
There are a few exceptions to the maintenance plan, but they are common sense-related: for example, electric vehicles won't require oil changes. The plan is also retroactive and transferable, so anyone who has already purchased a 2014 GM product will start enjoying free maintenance as of now, and can pass on the savings when selling or trading-in their automobile.
04. …And Lincoln Cuts Its Own Free Maintenance Package
In the face of GM's free maintenance initiative (and Cadillac's pre-existing program), it doesn't look good when cross-town rival Lincoln goes in the opposite direction. 2014 Lincoln models will still enjoy free oil changes and the like, but only for two years or 24,000 miles. This is roughly half of the four year / 50,000 mile program that had been available on all Lincoln models in 2013. The move is being positioned as one that dovetails with popular two-year lease terms, and while some dealers are on board, the Automotive News is reporting that others are questioning the wisdom of removing a perk from the Lincoln ownership portfolio.
05. Glowing Mercedes-Benz Grille Logo A Sign Of The Apocalypse?
Apparently, it's no longer enough to increase the size of the Silver Star until it reaches pizza-plate proportions. It would seem that Mercedes-Benz has elected to pursue the nuclear option and make a glowing version of its grille logo available on the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, the GL-Class, the CLS-Class, and the M-Cass. The Star emblem makes use of LED lighting in order to cut through the darkness, and even better, it can be retrofitted to older models of the CLS-Class and the M-Class. The grille logo glows when you unlock the car, but the aftermarket will certainly waste little time in wiring it up so that it looms ominously in your rearview mirror like a luxury constellation on a deserted highway.

The 48th Annual Tour of Historic Galena Homes, held on a glorious, early fall weekend, provides a clear example of the value the Historical Society provides to the city of Galena. The featured homes and their owners welcomed large, enthusiastic crowds. Many event attendees came from out of town just for the Tour event, and they spread their money all around. They stayed in local hotels and bed and breakfasts. They ate at Galena's outstanding restaurants. They took tours and rode the trolley. Most important, they became advocates for Galena as a tourist destination, sure to recommend our beautiful town to friends, family and co-workers for their next getaway.
Telling Our Story
These stories offer important qualitative data as the Historical Society approaches several key benchmarks in planning a new, world-class museum. Over the coming three to six months, the Society Board will consider recommendations for the project's design, focus and storylines. The information we glean from museum visitors and special event participants about their interests helps crystalize the stories for the new museum. We anticipate sharing these stories with the community before the end of the year. That is when we all will really get a sense for what the new museum — at its new location, with its expanded vision, and with professionally designed and executed exhibits — will look like.
Finding Data
On another track, Board members will consider study results from Northern Illinois University's Center for Governmental Studies measuring the economic impact of the new museum on Galena and Jo Daviess County. They'll also participate in a feasibility study to evaluate the Historical Society's capacity to conduct, and the community's ability to support, a capital campaign to fund museum construction. In both instances, while additional qualitative information may surface, the emphasis is on uncovering quantitative data, the hard numbers that will demonstrate the viability of the new museum plan, its operations, the fundraising to build it, and its sustainability.
We understand and appreciate the community's anticipation of our next steps. We've piqued Galena's collective interest by talking about the possibilities. Soon we'll be able to share what needs to be done to make these dreams reality.
