Blighted MidTown properties may be targeted under revised Urban Renewal plan in Oklahoma City
Ahmad Bahreini has an appointment in Oklahoma City Municipal Court on April 5 to answer citations for storing vehicles at his boarded-up, decades-old gas station at NW 10 and Harvey.
Such citations are not new to Bahreini, who has repeatedly paid fines for housing the cars, many of which were inoperable.
A dozen years ago, Bahreini's building was no different from those across the street. But the corner now is surrounded by former flophouses turned into upscale apartments and previously boarded-up buildings that have been renovated and filled with restaurants and shops.
County assessor records show Bahreini has owned the property since 1990, but that could change under a proposed blight plan amendment being sought by the Oklahoma City Urban Renewal Authority.
The neighborhood itself was declared blighted by the city council in 1997 as part of an effort by the city to keep St. Anthony Hospital in MidTown, which at the time was littered with flop houses, boarded up and abandoned buildings. That plan was the start of a turn around that has seen more than $100 million plowed back into the neighborhood.
"MidTown is a dynamic area with incredible potential," Urban Renewal Director Cathy O'Connor said. "The current North Downtown Redevelopment Plan was last updated in the 1990s and no longer reflects the current conditions in the area. The Oklahoma City Urban Renewal Authority is opening discussion to the public to ensure an updated plan reflects existing development and to identify new economic development opportunities."
The plan, O'Connor said, may include a renewed focus on acquiring and redeveloping neglected properties.
"There is a possibility we will be identifying parcels that will help in the continued growth and development of the area if they are required to facilitate blight removal," O'Connor said. "It may not just be places with code violations — others with title issues, not probated properly — that we can help with."
The Bahreini property, she added, is an example of a potential acquisition under an amended urban renewal plan. Bahreini denied his property is blighted, but declined to say if he is proud of its appearance.
Bahreini also denied he has any inoperable vehicles on his property, though a visit on Wednesday showed cars on blocks, with flat tires, and cars with extensive body damage.
Bahreini also denied he has been cited for code violations, though city records show citations issued every year from 2007 through 2012. Records show Bahreini paid most of the citations, but with a brief exception a year ago, he has continued to store vehicles on the lot.
"Just because I went to court doesn't mean I've been cited for anything," Bahreini said. "If they're going to single me out, they had better do it for others on the whole block. I'm not the only one."
Bahreini added his business is a legal car sales lot.
Marva Ellard, who owns the nearby Sieber Hotel Apartments at 1305 N Hudson Ave., welcomes the prospect of a revised urban renewal plan for the neighborhood.
Properties like the one owned by Bahreini are a "hindrance," Ellard said.
"It's not something where you want to bring potential tenants by, or large scale potential tenants in to promote the attributes of MidTown," Ellard said. "It shows we have one foot in the future and one still in the 1970s."
Ward 6 Councilwoman Meg Salyer, who represents the MidTown neighborhood, said she remains excited about its future, but added that in every redeveloped area she has noticed one or two property owners who fail to share that vision.
"A burned-out building, a property that isn't well maintained, has the ability to create a sense or perception of an unsafe neighborhood, which is just as bad as being unsafe," Salyer said. "And we can't find ourselves in a position where we have buildings with vagrants living in them or being unsafe. Having a plan or process available to use in dealing with a building like that is what the city does best."
Meeting set for Tuesday:
An Urban Renewal blight zone for MidTown was first created by the Oklahoma City Council in 1997 and covers an area bordered by NW 4, NW 13, Classen Boulevard and the BNSF Railway viaduct. A public meeting on the proposed blight amendment will be held 5:30-6:30 p.m. Tuesday in the lobby of the Siebert Hotel Apartments, 1305 N Hudson Ave.
Amendment goals include:
— Update language in current plan to reflect MidTown development.
— Update finding of blight.
— Support the Oklahoma City University Law School move to the old Central High School at NW 7 and Harvey in Midtown.
— Support the ongoing expansion of St. Anthony Hospital.
— Identify key sites for acquisition to facilitate blight removal.
— Recommend public parks, spaces and other improvements to support increased density and appeal of Midtown as an urban, mixed-use neighborhood.
— Provide development and design concepts to contribute to the evolution of streetcar system planning.
— Provide planning concepts to stimulate private development that is pedestrian oriented.

Late last year, I bought a bunch of stuff for my bike.
A week before I got the parts, I had a massive panic attack and a depression followed that.
I'm almost fully recovered now, but I didn't really have energy enough to get the parts on my bike and all that. I just took all the stuff and put it in a box. Just made sure they were all in working order and with no visible damage or defects.
So, here I am, four months later, and I've just dug the parts out.
Two of the items are a handlebar with drops and a pair of Avid Speed Dial 7 brake handles.
To my horror I now find that the brake handle clamp inner diameter is 22.5 mm, while the handlebar's is 24! They don't fit!!! Argh!
So, what's wrong here?
Are handlebars made in many different diameters or should I have ordered a specific size for the brake units? Not that any such info was available on the site I bought the things from...
Obviously, I have to do something about this.
Do the brake unit clamps come in different sizes so it's a simple matter of replacing the ones I have with another pair?
Or is the handlebar I have such a non-standard piece that I won't be able to find any brakes for it???
Here's the handlebar I have:

More Stalling on Pension Progress
One member of the pension reform conference committee doesn't expect a deal to be reached anytime soon.
State Rep. Jil Tracy (R-Mt. Sterling) acknowledges that progress has been slow, saying the committee has a few components in place, but nothing has been in stone.
"As much progress as I feel like we've made, I feel like now we're kind of stalled trying to get a pulse on what's going to be acceptable in the House and in the Senate," Tracy said.
Tracy says there was more dissension amongst committee members at the last meeting. She's still hopeful that they'll be ready to recommend legislation in time for the October veto session.

When medicine becomes a government system, it's ultimately the system that chooses who will live and who will die. Some decisions are just too important for a system make
The man was in a unique position to decide his own fate, and doctors were fearful that starting the transplant process could put undue pressure on him to choose death
Life-saving transplants have been in the news recently. Less often told is the story of the donors' families who agree to give life, as they grieve their own unimaginable loss
Alberta Health Services (AHS) grounded Naomi's family's efforts to find a suitable donor through media releases because AHS has a rule against anonymous living donors.
Burying the dead with their organs is like burying them with all their money and jewellery
Only 26 of more than 500 Canadians who answered Melnyk's plea for a live liver donation said they would donate to someone other than the owner of the Ottawa Senators
The Senators said Melnyk and the anonymous donor are doing well and resting comfortably. The team announced last week that Melnyk was in need of a live liver transplant
The firm and fast response, however, causes discomfort over how a celebrity case rouses this result when others with similar need go unnoticed and unassisted
From the moment they picked them up from a Vietnamese orphanage, Michael and Johanne Wagner knew their twin girls stood on the edge of death
Alcoholism can be treated before the patient reaches the point of liver failure, and in some cases, liver disease can actually be reversed through abstinence

I would like to play these games. I never got a chance to play these games in there glory days. I would like to play these games. Old things always go to waste when new things come out,but people should bring them back. If it's old, but you haven't played it then it's like new to you. That why I think it's a good idea. They should expand the pokedex by adding in generations 2-5 Pokemon in the game to make it up to date. They should still keep the story line and graphics.

This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 07/495,371 filed Mar. 19, 1990 now U.S. Pat. No. 5,040,104.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to task lighting systems and, more particularly, to an improved means for evenly distributing light with reduced glare over an entire work surface using a single panel having integral lens and diffuser functions.
2. Description of the Related Art
Light from a linear source, such as a conventional fluorescent bulb mounted over a work surface, has an uneven illumination pattern. That is, the light is directed primarily to a center of the work surface, with greatly reduced illumination of the front, rear and sides of the work surface. Typically, a lens is employed to provide more uniform illumination across the work surface from one side to the other.
Strong coherent illumination also produces considerable glare off the work surface. Glare is undesirable because it causes fatigue, eye strain, and reduced user efficiency. In addition, direct light or glare from the bulb, such as caused by the user viewing the bulb, is very distracting and can cause fatigue.
Oftentimes a separate frosted diffuser sheet is employed to reduce glare by dispersing and attenuating light emanating from the light source. Frosted diffusers randomly diffuse light, thereby reducing glare or veiling reflections. However, because frosted diffusers randomly diffuse the light without attempting to focus it, they fail to adequately and uniformly illuminate the work surface from front to rear. Moreover, although frosted diffusers can prevent the user from viewing the bulb, a substantial amount of light still impinges on the user's eyes directly from the bulb. Further, the light is still reflected from a work surface to a user's eyes even though the light is diffused and attenuated.
Some diffusers employ prismatic refractors in an attempt to reduce glare and disperse light. An example of such an arrangement is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,233,651, issued Nov. 11, 1980 to W. Fabbri which discloses a lower refractor plate that is slidable laterally relative to an upper refractor plate. While light is dispersed toward opposite side portions of the work surface when the lower refractor plate is centered relative to the upper plate, only the central portion of the work surface is provided with glare-free light. The Fabbri structure is not adapted to prevent light from the source from directly impinging on the user's eyes or to prevent the source from being viewed by the user. The user can still view end portions of the light source. Further, the upper refractor plate increases the cost of the diffuser substantially.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,300,185 issued Nov. 10, 1981 to J. Wakamatsu discloses a structure in which the lighting fixture must be positioned above the front edge of the work surface. A control lens includes a plurality of pyramidal indentations formed adjacent to a front edge of and on an upper surface of the lens, the indentations being adapted to disperse light. The remainder of the upper surface is covered by a plurality of longitudinally extending linear indentations of nonuniform depth. However, the disclosed embodiments do not block direct viewing of the light source by a user or prevent light from directly impinging on the user's eyes.
Thus, there is a need for an improved task light panel that evenly disperses light over a work surface, reduces glare from the work surface, and effectively blocks the user's direct view of the light source. It would be advantageous if a single panel having these capabilities could be provided as this would reduce the production and assembly costs of a task lighting system.
The invention relates to a task light panel for use in conjunction with a light source for illuminating a work surface The panel includes an upper surface having a plurality of first grooves formed thereon and a lower surface having a plurality of second grooves formed thereon. The first and second grooves are substantially perpendicular to one another and are adapted to distribute light from the light source onto the work surface.
The first grooves are formed on substantially the entire upper surface of the task light panel and are substantially symmetrical. Preferably, the first grooves form angles of approximately 40° with respect to a line perpendicular to a face of the task light panel. The first grooves are adapted to substantially uniformly illuminate the work surface between the side edges thereof.
The second grooves are formed on a portion of the lower surface adjacent to a front edge of the panel and occupy approximately one-half the surface area of the task light panel lower surface. Preferably the second grooves are asymmetrical and form first and second angles with respect to a line perpendicular to a face of the panel. Preferably, the first angle is approximately 60° and the second angle is approximately 10°. The second grooves are adapted to direct light from the light source toward a rear edge of the work surface. The first grooves overlie the second grooves and cooperate with the second grooves to reduce glare or veiling reflections on the work surface as well as to block direct viewing of the light source by an individual using the work surface.
The invention also relates to a lighting fixture comprising a housing having an open bottom portion in which is received a light source, the housing being adapted to receive in the open bottom portion a task light panel constructed according to the invention. The invention further relates to a work station in which a work surface and a storage module are mounted to a wall panel. A lighting fixture incorporating a task light panel constructed according to the invention can be mounted to the underside of the storage module to illuminate the work surface below.
For a more complete understanding of the invention reference should now be had to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a side elevational view of an office work station incorporating a task light panel according to the invention;
FIG. 2 is a front elevational view of an office work station incorporating the task light panel of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a top plan view of the task light panel of FIGS. 1 and 2;
FIG. 4 is a bottom plan view of the task light panel of FIGS. 1 to 3;
FIG. 5 is an enlarged, fragmentary, side elevational view taken generally along lines 5--5 of FIG. 4; and
FIG. 6 is a sectional view of the task light panel taken generally along lines 6--6 of FIG. 3.
Referring now to FIGS. 1 and 2, the task light panel is designated generally by the reference numeral 10 and is shown incorporated into a typical office work station 110. The work station 110 can form a part of a modular office arrangement of the open plan type that uses freestanding wall panels to segment space or can be provided in conjunction with a conventional office having structural partitions to which wall panels are mounted. Hanging components such as work surfaces, storage cabinets and shelves can be mounted to the wall panels in cantilevered fashion to furnish the work station 110.
FIGS. 1 and 2 show a work surface 104 and a storage module 102 such as a cabinet or shelf mounted to a wall panel 106 to furnish the work station 110. Task lighting is provided by a light fixture 112 mounted to an underside of the cabinet or shelf. Typically, the work surface 104 is rectangular with a longitudinal axis (not shown separately in the drawings) extending between a left side edge 118 of the work surface and a right side edge 120 of the work surface. The work surface further includes front and rear edges, respectively designated 114 and 116. For reference, the front edge 114 is that edge of the work surface which is typically adjacent a user 108 of the work surface. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the work surface is cantilevered from the wall panel 106 so that the rear edge 116 thereof is adjacent to the wall panel. The work surface thus will have a front portion thereof extending toward the user 108 and a rear portion extending away from the user. Preferably, the fixture 112 is a sheet metal structure open at the bottom and having a linear light source 100 mounted therein. The fixture 112 includes means for mounting the task light panel 10. The task light panel 10 is mounted to the fixture 112 such that the task light panel is interposed between the light source 100 and the work surface 104. The light source 100 is, in the preferred arrangement, an elongated cylindrical element such as a conventional fluorescent T-12 bulb having a longitudinal axis (not shown separately in the drawings) parallel to the longitudinal axis of the work surface 104. An inside surface 113 of the fixture 112 is generally adapted to reflect light onto the work surface 104. As explained more fully below, the task light panel 10 directs light laterally across the work surface 104 (FIG. 2) and also away from eyes of a user 108 and onto the work surface (FIG. 1).
FIGS. 3 to 5 illustrate the structure of the task light panel 10 in greater detail The panel 10 is a generally rectangular, unitary sheet or member formed of a clear, light transmitting plastic such as acrylic. The panel 10 is horizontally mounted to the fixture 112 with a panel longitudinal axis 11 parallel to the longitudinal axes of the light source 100 and the work surface 104. The task light panel 10 includes an upper, light source facing surface 12 and a lower, work surface facing surface 14. A front lip 22 is formed along a front, user facing edge 13 of the task light panel 10. Similarly, a rear lip 24 is formed along a rear edge 15 of the panel 10. The front and rear lips 22, 24 provide rigidity to the panel 10 and can be used to mount the task light panel to the fixture 112.
A plurality of substantially symmetrical transverse (or first) grooves 16 are formed on substantially the entire upper surface 12 of the panel 10, the grooves extending transversely to the longitudinal axis 11 of the task light panel. As best shown in FIG. 6, each groove 16 is prismatic in shape and is adapted to direct light from the light source 100 laterally across the work surface 104 (FIG. 2), thereby uniformly illuminating the work surface between the right and left work surface edges 118, 120. Thus, it will be seen that the structure formed between the grooves 16 are prisms which refract light from the light source as it passes through the panel 10. The degree of refraction depends upon the slope of the prism side or, conversely, the angle of the grooves. An optimum angle 130 for the transverse grooves 16 will vary depending upon the application for the panel 10; the material of construction for the panel; the configuration of the light source 100, the task light panel 10, and the fixture 112; and the position of the fixture with respect to the work surface. The angle 130 is preferably approximately 40 degrees with respect to a vertical center line (identified schematically by the reference numeral 131) perpendicular to a face 10a of the task light panel 10.
As best shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the panel 10 further includes a plurality of asymmetrical longitudinal (or second) grooves 18 on a front portion 14a of the panel lower surface 14, and a smooth, grooveless section 20 on a rear portion 14b of the panel lower surface. The longitudinal grooves 18 extend parallel to the panel longitudinal axis 11 and occupy approximately one-half the lower surface depth, that is, the dimension extending between the panel front and rear edges 13, 15, respectively. (It will be understood that the longitudinal axis 11 of the panel 10 is identified principally for the purpose of describing the relative orientations of the transverse grooves 16 and the longitudinal grooves 18.) The area covered by the grooves 18 can be adjusted to adapt to particular needs. Each groove 18 is prismatic in shape and, as best shown in FIG. 1, is adapted to direct light emanating from the light source 100 away from the eyes of the user 108 and onto the work surface 104. As with the grooves 16 and prisms on the upper surface 12, so the grooves 18 define prisms on the lower surface 14 which refract light from the light source. The asymmetry of the grooves 18 means that opposite sides of the prisms will have different slopes. Thus, light will be refracted at different angles on the opposed sides of each prism. As can be seen in FIG. 5, each longitudinal groove 18 has a longitudinal groove front angle 132, which is significantly less than a longitudinal groove rear angle 134. The optimum dimension for the longitudinal groove front angle 132 and the longitudinal groove rear angle 134 will vary depending upon the application; the material of construction; the configuration of the light source 100, the task light panel 10, and the fixture 112; and the position of the fixture with respect to the work surface 104. Preferably, the longitudinal groove front angle 132 is approximately 10 degrees with respect to a vertical center line (identified schematically by the reference numeral 135) perpendicular to a face 10b of the panel and the longitudinal groove rear angle 134 is approximately 60 degrees with respect to the vertical center line.
As an example of a preferred embodiment, a task light panel having a dimension of approximately 44.5" in the longitudinal direction and a dimension of approximately 6.2' in the transverse direction is used in conjunction with a conventional T-12 fluorescent light source having a length or longitudinal dimension of approximately 36". The light source and task light panel are mounted to the underside of a storage cabinet and over a work surface. The work surface has a depth or transverse dimension of approximately 30", the light source is positioned approximately 8.6" from the work surface rear edge, and the panel is mounted in the range of 16.75" to 25.25" above the work surface.
In operation, the task light panel 10 performs several functions. The transverse grooves 16 on the upper surface 12 act as prismatic lenses to direct light toward the left and right work surface edges 118, 120 so that illumination of the work surface 104 is substantially uniform along the work surface longitudinal axis and glare to the user is avoided. The longitudinal grooves 18 on the lower surface 14 also act as prismatic lenses. They function principally to refract light from the source 100. In the absence of the grooves 18, illumination from the light source 100 would impinge directly on the eyes of the user 108 and would fall on the work surface 104 adjacent to the front edge 114 thereof. Thus, the longitudinal grooves 18 cooperate with the overlying transverse grooves 16 to provide increased illumination of the work surface 104 between the front and rear edges 114, 116. The grooves 16 and the grooves 18 also coact to block direct viewing of the light source 100 by the user 108. Thus the grooves 16 and the grooves 18, although forming independent prismatic lenses, cooperate synergistically to provide a diffuser function. It can be seen that a single task light panel that functions to uniformly illuminate a work surface between the side, front, and rear edges thereof has been provided. The panel further provides a diffuser function by reducing glare or veiling reflections from the work surface and blocking a user's direct view of the light source.
Reasonable variations or modifications are possible within the spirit of the foregoing specification and drawings without departing from the scope of the invention which is defined in the accompanying claims.

I am rather befuddled after hours of handlebar googling. My spouse has small hands, and we will get the Shimano brifters for small hands, no problem.
My question is reach and flare. For touring, it seems most bars have some flare. No problem, I get that.
My question is reach. There are all sorts of bars with various reach measures. If you are riding the ramps with small hands, I assume its just a little longer to get to the hoods. And, I would have to take that into account a little when setting up stem length.
On the other hand, that longer ramp would essentially give her a higher upright position on the tops, no?
And, any opinion on the ergo bends? Seems to me that would help keep the hand up a little to reach the levers.
I have a Nitto Noodle and love it. I am afraid the reach and drop would be adverse for small hands.

Seriously Awesome
This review is from: Astro Gaming MixAmp Pro - Wired with Dolby 7.1 Surround Sound
Pros: Really incredible device plug almost any pair of headphones through this and they'll noticeably sound better. Have had the 2011 and 2013 versions of the MixAmp, really incredible device.
Cons: Can't be. :)
Other Thoughts: Recently found out you can talk to your friends on Xbox while using it on the PC, Only device i know out there that lets you do this, but remember you have to use the Astro Headset for this to work, you can't just use any headset with it. Also since any pair of headphones will work with this you can hook up your audiophile grade phones and play xbox with them, obviously you cant talk to anyone but it's awesome to hear the explosions in any game with your favorite pair of phones.

Nice improvement
This review is from: Astro Gaming MixAmp Pro - Wired with Dolby 7.1 Surround Sound
Pros: Nice directional sound improvement with its build in EQ. Pro-mode (top left had corner light) provides excellent directional audio especially enemy footsteps. I've had the 2012 model without the EQ and surprisingly, this is quite the upgrade.
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: I use this on a Xbox 360 mainly playing BF3. I have 10 hours online with this mixamp and love the fact that I can hear sneaky people trying to take my dog-tags. Lots of hate mail claiming I'm cheating. Well done Astro :)

This review is from: Astro Gaming MixAmp Pro - Wired with Dolby 7.1 Surround Sound
Pros: Hi quality sound, great software encoding to mimic surround, and really brings out the sound quality on a good pair of headphones.
Cons: Lack of info in package about setup.
Other Thoughts: I set this up on my PC running windows 8. In testing I at first thought it was not working and sound was still running in my surround speakers. When I realized the sound was to clear for my speakers, I took the headset off. Works so well I actually thought the sound was coming from behind me. I purchased some audio Technia ath-m50 studio monitor headphones, paired with a modmic for voice chat when needed. The sound on a good quality pair of head phones is amazing.

Cons: optical audio cable has a unique connection on the mixamp side so you have to use the one provided.
Other Thoughts: I use Turtle beach x12 headset and because both the headset and the mixamp require USB to power them it would produce a feedback sound that could not be overlooked.

What Discriminates?
For his book on electrical workers, the historian Ronald Schatz interviewed a number of women who had sacrificed lucrative jobs after World War II. When he asked one of them how she felt about giving up her job, she offered an acerbic reply: "How're you going to feel? You gotta give him a chance, right? The fellow that you took his job and [he] went to the service to protect you and your country, the least you can do is give him back his job or there's going to be a war." Other women concurred with the tenor of that comment: "There are some jobs—I don't care how good you are!—you can't begin to have the muscle that a man has, " a militant woman organizer for the United Electrical Workers argued."We felt that there were certain jobs that couldn't be done by women because of the nature of the work, " said another. 1
We catch our breaths as we read these words. Gender differences seem so palpable, so transparent to these women, clearly an acceptable rationale for distributing jobs and the benefits attached to them, and the source of appropriate politics and behavior. The lens of a particular kind of womanhood shapes the way they conceive their obligations as workers, trade unionists, family members, and citizens. Yet their perception of gender seems awkwardly dated: they are on the cusp of an enormous transformation that will sharply differentiate their attitudes toward earning wages from those of their daughters and sons. Less than twenty-five years later, congressional representatives, learned witnesses, and ordinary housewives would testify to the penalties paid by women because all of society had "clung to the comfortable belief that a woman's exclusive and rightful place is in the home." 2
African-American contemporaries of these electrical workers would not have mirrored that commitment to gender differences with regard to race; they would certainly have denied the relevance of racial distinctions in

Wonderful experience of a lifetime....highly recommendable
January 2016
Wonderful ride. Driver/operator was extremely professional.
December 2015
This was the highlight of our Cappadocia trip. Suat piloted for us, and he was very personable, funny and knowledgable about the area. I couldn and #39;t recommend this experience more, especially if you haven and #39;t been on a hot air balloon before, and cross your fingers that Suat will be your pilot!

One of the best attractions in Turkey.. a MUST TRY. The tour company was not the cheapest @ SGD300 but it definitely did not disappoint us. Live up to their No.! rating in Cappadocia.
October 2015
Extraordinarily well run, highly professional, and -- most importantly -- an amazing experience. We couldn't recommend it highly enough. It's worth noting that we had our flight canceled on the first day due to inclement weather, but the company was able to fit us in on the second day. If you do decide to go, make sure you reserve a spot on the first day possible in case you run into the same situation!
September 2015
I had a wonderful time and the whole process was seamless. From the pickup to the actual fliying. Kudos to our pilot who did a great job keeping us safe.
September 2015
Highly Recommended
Lovely experience, a must do when in Turkey!
My wife and I went for this ride on 26/08. We had our hotel pick at 4.30 am, but our flight was delayed and we reached Keyseri airport at 4 am. As we were short on time, we called up the Royal Balloon Chief Pilot Mr. Suat Ulusoy who advised us to come directly to their office/hotel. At 5 am we were served a hearty breakfast there, then divided into groups and taken to the launch field. The sight of the balloons being filled with gas was splendid. We were up in the air for about an hour, during which time we soaked in the magnificent sights of the landscape the early morning rays of the sun touching our faces is something that'll be forever in our memory, we forgot all about our exhaustion and tensions from the flight. Chief Suat kept us entertained with his jokes and by answering our queries on the intricacies of the gas balloon he also guided us about the landscape. When we landed, we were treated to customary champagne and strawberries dipped in chocolate by the staff. It concluded with each one of us being felicitated with a medal as a memento of our flight. We were then dropped off at our hotel. Super happy and content with this tour.
August 2015
Fantastic Tour! Seeing the sunrise was an incredible experience and our Balloon Pilot/Driver was great. She made it much more fun. Truly a must-do if you're in Cappadocia!

This was one of the highlights during my trip to Turkey. The local operator that Viator used for this was very organized and professional. They provided breakfast before the flight as well as a champagne toast afterward apparently a tradition for balloon rides. The balloon pilot was funny, entertaining, and a total pro. We landed in a field of flowers, which was great.
July 2015
It was a seamless arrangement. Very skillful pilot who took care of everyone onboard.

I had 6 acne treatments here and it was a complete waste of money. They are specialist in groupon and wowcher cheap deals and that's about it. Each time I went for the treatment it did not take longer than 10 minutes and it should have been 30 minutes long. That's what they told me at the consultation when I paid them. But it was downhill from there. I have more spots than ever. Wish I had gone to a more established company that does not specialise in cheap deals and no customer service or treatment results to speak of! Don't go there you will regret it!

Kasbah Trail Departing 16th April
I'm booked on the Kasbah Trail trip on the 16th April and was wondering if there was anyone else out there that had also booked this trip. I'm a solo traveller and my first trip with adventure company so it would be good to chat to others on the trip before departure.
Hi Katy, I've just booked this trip! I'm also travelling solo and it's my first trip too - can't wait! It's good to hear there will be at least a couple of solo travellers.
Have you been to Morocco before?
Hi Rachel,
Great to hear from you. I've never been to Morocco before and like you, can't wait. It looks so beautiful in the photos and the trip sounds really interesting. I was a little worried I'd be the only solo traveller. Will you be also flying from Gatwick - if so, do you fancy grabbing a coffee in the departure lounge?
Have you been anywhere like Morocco before? I'm expecting the cultural differences to be so significant.
I know, I've wanted to visit Morocco for a while and think this trip sounds like the best way to do it. I've not travelled much outside Europe before so am also expecting a culture shock but should be really interesting.
I'll be flying from Gatwick too (I did look into organising my own flights as I live up in Liverpool but thought it would be easier this way!) so it would be great to meet up. Where abouts are you from?
Hi Rachel
I'm from Aberystwyth, on the west coast of Wales. It takes so long to get to gatwick from here by train I'll have to go the day before! I looked at arranging my own flights but I couldn't get them much cheaper and then i would have had to arrange transfers - as you say at least this way there is less to worry about.
I'm getting my vaccinations next week - not looking forward to it!!!
Good luck! Which ones are you getting? I need to get my vaccinations soon too....and sort out what else I need to get for the trip!
Had Hep A and typhoid vaccines today. My arm feels very heavy now. Could have been worse at least i was up to date on my tetenus and diptheria so didnt need those and i didn't have to pay for either of the jabs!
I've started a list of things i need - its quite long! It'll be a challenge to keep to 10kg as they suggest as we will still need warm clothes for the evenings and a sleeping bag.
