Holiday Overview
Holiday Overview
- Visit several game reserves, including Kruger National Park
- Easy walks and relaxation time in the Drakensberg mountains
- Cultural highlights include the Zulu village at Shakas Kraal
- Enjoy a day at leisure on the beach north of Durban
Accessed through the city of Johannesburg, the spectacular and historically fascinating north-eastern corner of South Africa is also home to some of the world's finest game reserves. With a specialist guide and comfortable private transport, this family safari includes game drives in the world-famous Kruger National Park, but also spends time in less well-known, but equally impressive reserves, such as Edeni, Hlane and Mantega. A visit to the Moholoholo Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre will allow us to get even closer to animals such as lion and leopard, before we continue our tour through the landlocked kingdom of Swaziland and out to the north Natal coast at St Lucia. Here, we take a boat trip on the estuary, walk amongst coastal dunes and visit a crocodile farm. Heading south towards Durban, we also visit Shaka's Kraal where we can gain an insight into the way of life of the Zulu people, before checking in at beach-side apartment for 2 nights, with the chance of some beach R&R. Journeying back towards Johannesburg, our final stop-off is at the accommodation in the Drakensberg, a haven of peace and tranquility in sight of the mighty escarpment. A couple of easy walks in the wonderful countryside around this accommodation provides a fitting end to this excellent family adventure.
Explore International. This is one of our Explore International holidays. Participants on these trips can book through KE or through one of our international partners. This helps us to gather together sufficient numbers of like-minded adventurers to get your holiday up and running quickly. Led by an English-speaking guide, the cosmopolitan nature of these groups can be an important part of the experience!

Holiday Itinerary
Meet at Johannesburg Airport in the morning. Drive to Graskop.
Meet at Johannesburg Airport at breakfast time where we will meet with our guide. KE Land Only package services begin with the long drive to Mpumalanga and the small town of Graskop. En route we will travel via the Long Tom Pass and stop off to look at the cannon on the top. The pass was named after "The Long Tom", silver cannons used in the Second Boer War and a commemorative cannon sits on top of the pass. The Long Tom Pass was once a treacherous journey of steep hairpin bends and hair-raising drops and was originally the route followed by pioneer wagon drivers transporting goods from Mozambique to Lyndenburg. We'll also stop off for a picnic lunch at Lone Creek Falls, a 70m waterfall close to the town of Sabie. This is a great place for a swim in hot weather. We'll also view the impressive Mac Mac falls before travelling on to Graskop, where we check into our accommodation at Mogodi Lodge. Accommodation will be in family chalets, each with 2 separate rooms, a shared bathroom and open plan lounge. Drive time today will be around 6 hours plus stopping time (450km).

Passing Blyde River transfer to Edeni Reserve for game drive.
The magnificent Panorama Route drive in Mpumalanga is best-known for its cultural heritage and its dramatic landscapes. Today we will check out God's Window, Bourke's Luck Potholes and the Blyde River, home to spectacular wildlife and birdlife and some of the best views in South Africa. We'll then journey on via the Abel Erasmus Pass and the JG Strydom tunnels to Edeni Game Reserve. Edeni is home to the "Big Five" and is also one of the best locations to spot Africa's most elusive large cat, the leopard. We will arrive in the afternoon with time to set up camp, freshen up and then take a game drive with a local guide through the reserve. During the trip we'll stop for a Sundowner before switching on the spot lights on the vehicle and returning to camp for dinner round the camp fire. The campsite has a swimming pool, so there may be time for a quick dip if anyone wants to cool off in the pool. Drive time today will be approximately 3 hours plus stopping time (150km).
Swimming: At campsite pool.

Moholoholo Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre. Drive to Kruger National Park.
After breakfast we'll visit the Moholoholo Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre for a guided tour. The centre, established in 1991 is home to many wounded animals and the aim of the project is to contribute to the conservation of endangered species and the rehabilitation of injured and poisoned wildlife. Animals at the centre include lion, leopard, serval, lynx, honey badger, eagles, vultures and can include an array of baby animals depending on when we visit! After our tour we'll drive into the Kruger National Park spotting for big game as we drive to our camp. We'll overnight at a Kruger Park campsite, which has a swimming pool and small shop. Drive time 2 hours (150km) plus game drives in the park.
Swimming: At campsite pool.

Two game drives in Kruger National Park to see Big Five.
Today we'll enjoy morning and late afternoon open vehicle game drives in the world-famous Kruger National Park. Established in 1898 to protect the wildlife of the South African Lowveld, this national park of almost 20,000 square kilometres is unrivalled in terms of biodiversity and is a world leader in advanced environmental management policies. Kruger is home to an impressive number of species: 336 trees, 49 fish, 34 amphibians, 113 reptiles, 507 birds and 147 mammals, including the "Big Five" : lion, leopard, black rhino, elephant and Cape buffalo. Each of our game drives today will be for around 3 hours, giving us plenty of time to spot the "Big Five" and more! Early morning and late afternoon are the best times to see the animals, so we'll take some out during the heat of the day to rest and chill out by the pool.
Swimming: At campsite pool.

Meals bld
Morning game drive in Kruger. Transfer to Hlane game reserve in Swaziland.
After a final morning game drive (3 hours approximately) in the Kruger, we'll leave the park and cross the border into the Kingdom of Swaziland. Swaziland is one of the smallest countries in Africa and is one of the world's last remaining absolute monarchies. Bordered to the north, south and west by South Africa and to the east by Mozambique, the country is named after the 19th century king, Mswati II and is about the same size as Wales. Despite its small area, the country has a variety of landscape including mountains, savannah and rain forest. We'll drive to the King of Swaziland's traditional hunting reserve, now a game reserve - Hlane. In the afternoon we'll set up camp and sit around the waterhole at sunset, looking out for rhino who come down to drink. Drivetime today will be 3 hours (280km) and we'll enjoy a 3 hour drive in the Kruger in the morning.
Accommodation Camping
Meals bld
Optional game walk. Transfer to Mantega a traditional Swazi village.
In the morning there is the option to take a guided game walk through the reserve with a good chance of seeing rhino. Note that children must be aged 12 and up to take part in the game walk. Alternatively families can take a game drive or relax by the waterhole. After a late brunch we'll drive to Mantega Nature Reserve where in the afternoon we'll enjoy a guided tour through a traditional village. The Mantega Village is a mini-complex of 16 huts, each with its own specific purpose. Kraals (or byres) for cattle and goats, reed fences that serve as windbreaks and various other structures. With traditional artefacts on display, the village showcases many facets of the ancient Swazi way of life. This evening dinner will be taken in the restaurant and we will spend the night in traditional Swazi huts. Approx drive time 2 hours (130km).
Accommodation Traditional Hut
Meals bl
Transfer to the St Lucia wetlands on the coast.
After an early start we drive through southern Swaziland before re-entering South Africa at the Lavumisa border. From here we drive to St Lucia, via the Pongolapoort Dam, the third largest in South Africa. We arrive in the afternoon in time to set up camp. Drive time around 5 hours (350km).
Accommodation Camping
Meals bld
Morning boat tour and afternoon crocodile farm visit.
The Greater St Lucia Wetland Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site consisting of 13 protected areas and is the largest estuarine system in Africa. The marine conditions in the estuary have resulted in a variety of landforms and ecosystems, including wide submarine canyons, sandy beaches, forested dunes and a mosaic of wetlands, grasslands, forests, lakes and savannah. As this is such an extensive area with a wide range of different habitat environments, animals of all sorts may be seen including hippos and crocodiles on the St Lucia estuary. Wildlife in the park also includes nesting turtles on the beaches, migrating whales, dolphins and sharks offshore and huge numbers of birds including pelicans, storks, herons and terns. In the morning we enjoy a boat tour on the St Lucia estuary and will be on the look-out for birdlife and wildlife with a good chance of seeing both. In the afternoon we will visit a crocodile farm which offers guests the opportunity to learn more about the estuary and one of the world's most fascinating and misunderstood creatures. The farm interprets the Lake St Lucia system and the habits of the crocodile and serves as a centre for monitoring and research. Crocodiles are a protected species in Natal province. In the afternoon we'll take a short walk through the sand dune forest before returning to our campsite for dinner in camp.
Accommodation Camping
Meals bld
Optional guided tour of Zulu village. Transfer to Natal north coast.
After breakfast at camp, we drive to 'Shaka's Kraal' and enjoy an optional guided tour through his Zulu village. King Shaka was a great Zulu king and lived in this part of KwaZulu Natal in the nineteenth century. Shaka became king of the Zulus when he was about 30 years old and his warriors, the amabutho, were legendary. Their battle tactics were very successful and included the famous 'horns of the buffalo' fighting formation - it was very simple, the warriors formed the 'horns' encircling their enemy while the 'head' took on the main weight of the attack. Shaka led the growth of the fearsome Zulu people from a small clan into a significant local power. The Zulu are the largest ethnic group in South Africa and are known for their beautiful brightly coloured beadwork and basketry. We'll have the chance to feel the pulsating rhythm of mysterious and magical Africa as we re-live the excitement in this authentic re-creation of the 'Great Kraal'! After lunch we'll continue to the Natal north coast which will be our base for the next two nights. We will stay in holiday apartments with separate bedrooms, bathroom, open plan lounge and kitchen. Allocations will depend on family size, with some families sharing. Drive time approximately 4 hours (300km).

Free day at beach. Option to visit UShaka Marine World in Durban.
Today is free to spend at the beach. Alternatively the tour leader will be available to drive anyone who wants more action to nearby uShaka Marine World in Durban. UShaka is a world class marine entertainment park spanning 15 hectares of prime beach front at the end of Durban's "Golden Mile". There is a salt water aquarium, dolphin stadium, Sea World "behind the scenes" tours, beach activities and Wet'n'Wild World! Entry to the marine world is not included, but transport will be provided.

Drive to the Drakensberg. Exploration walk.
We depart the apartments after breakfast and head inland, via Durban and Pietermaritzberg, crossing the South African Highveld before reaching the town of Bergville close to the Drakensberg Mountains. Rising above 3000m on the western edge of KwaZulu Natal, the rugged escarpment is known by the Zulus as "uKhahlamba" – barrier of spears. The escarpment stretches for almost 200kms and forms the border between South Africa and Lesotho. Arriving at our comfortable accommodation in the afternoon, we should have time for a short walk to explore the area. Drive time today will be around 5 hours (400km).
Accommodation Lodge
Meals bld
Full day walk in North Drakensberg. Optional adventure park, mountain biking or quad biking.
We have a full day for walking in the nearby Royal Natal National Park, at the foot of the dramatic Drakensberg escarpment. The park was founded in 1916 and contains some of the most spectacular scenery in Africa. The main feature is the Amphitheatre, a rock wall 5kms in length and 1000m in height that forms part of the escarpment and most famously was the backdrop to the battle scenes in the film "Zulu" starring Michael Caine. Five rivers rise at the top of the escarpment, most dramatically the Tugela River which plummets 948m and is the world's second highest waterfall. Today we can choose to walk the Tugela gorge to visit the foot of the falls or try shorter walks to nearby Tiger Falls and the cascades where there is a lovely swimming spot and we can also see some bushmen paintings. For those who have extra adrenaline, it's possible to visit (optional, entrance fees payable locally) a local adventure centre, All Out Adventures where you can try mountain biking, paintballing, quad bike tours or Go Ape style treetop adventures.

Joining Arrangements & Transfers
Our first night is in Mpumalanga at the Mogodi Lodge, in chalet with 2 bedrooms, a bathroom and an open plan kitchen/lounge area. There is lots of space additional beds are easily accommodated for larger families. There is a swimming pool. On day 2 we are at the Karongwe (used to be called Edeni) campsite. This is a private campsite with shared bathroom amenities, but we have access to the facilities at the lodge (pleasant lounge, bar and swimming pool). Camping at Kruger (2 nights) is in the park campsite with shared bathroom amenities, there is a swimming pool at the campsite. In Hlane we have the simplest campsite (1 night), and then at Mantenga Village (1 night) we are in the Swazi-style beehive huts each family in one hut, with shared bathroom facilities. When in St Lucia (2nights) we camp at the Sugar Loaf campsite, here there is a swimming pool and we have shared facilities. These are the last nights camping (6 nights in total). At the coast near Durban we stay in the Umhlanga Apartments. Each family will be in one apartment which has 3 rooms, 1 en-suite and 2 sharing a bathroom. There is an open plan kitchen/lounge in the apartment as well and there is a swimming pool. The last 2 nights are in comfortable cottage accommodation at the Berghouse Cottages in the Drakensberg (each cottage has separate sleeping and living areas with shared bathroom). This is a great place for the last nights of our holiday.
Whilst camping we provide safari canvas tents 2.4m x 2.4m x 1.8m. They have built in mesh windows and door. They have a rain cap. We provide a camp bed with a 5cm thick camping mattress. You will need to provide your own sleeping bag and pillow, however these can be hired if you wish. The guides can set up camp, however it's a lot more fun (and quicker) if everyone helps in.

Group Leader & Support Staff
Spending Money
We estimate that a total of around £200 per person (or equivalent in euros/dollars) should be allowed for personal spending including the above-mentioned meals. This amount should also be sufficient to cover miscellaneous expenses, including any departure tax, and approximately £30 per family member for tips to local staff. If you are intending to buy expensive souvenirs or undertake any additional activities or excursions, you should budget accordingly (credit cards can be useful in this respect). Also, if you expect to buy considerable quantities of soft drinks or beer, you should make an allowance for this. You can choose to take your money in pounds Sterling, dollars, euros or in South African Rand. There will be the opportunity to change money into local currency on arrival at Johannesburg Airport. Additionally, you will be able to get currency from bank ATMs in many of the towns that we will visit. Credit cards are often accepted but if you intend to bring your travel money with you, we recommend that you bring this in the form of cash rather than travellers cheques, since this will be much less time consuming to exchange and generally attracts a better rate. Sterling, US Dollars and Euros are readily exchanged.
Guidance on Tipping
In South Africa it is usual to tip staff including your local guide and driver if you are happy with the services provided. We suggest you co-ordinate these tips as a group and as a rough guide we recommend each group member contributes around £30 per family member. The exact amount should be determined by the group and the guide will give advice on the appropriate levels.
Baggage Allowance
There is no weight limit on this trip other than that imposed by your international carrier (normally 20kg). However, we do ask you to restrict your luggage to one bag and one small daypack per person.
Beat the Jet Lag
Our holidays are normally designed with minimal 'down time' at the start of the trip, but having a day or two at the beginning will have the additional benefit of allowing you time to get over the stress of travelling across time zones, leaving you refreshed and ready for your holiday. We can easily arrange for you to have additional nights and airport transfers.
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.
This holiday does not involve any significant ascent to altitude and we would not expect any altitude issues with this trip.
Equipment List
The following checklist should help you with your packing. As a general rule, you should always try to keep the weight of your equipment to a minimum.
You must bring the following items:

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.

South Africa has a generally sunny and pleasant climate, with regional differences due to the weather systems from the surrounding oceans and altitude above sea level. This area experiences most of its rainfall in the southern hemisphere summer, from October to March. From May through to August is drier, with long spells of mild, stable weather. However, cold fronts moving in from the south-west can bring rain and snow-fall to the Drakensberg Mountains. Daytime temperatures range from around 10 - 20°C from April to September, to 20 - 30°C from October to March.

In Cthulhu Gloom, you control a group of Lovecraftian protagonists and guide them down a path of horror and madness to an untimely death, while keeping your opponents happy, healthy, and annoyingly alive.

To the Editor,
I am writing to express my enthusiastic support for the candidacy of Tom Murphy in the Democratic primary race for county legislature. It's our opportunity to vote for someone who has consistently used leadership and intelligence to solve difficult issues confronting our community.
When Mamaroneck faced a myriad of legal issues and crushing legal bills, Tom formed a committee of local attorneys, including myself, to advise the village on alternate strategies to settle cases reasonably and protect taxpayers from growing legal fees. He took this action as the lone Democrat on the Board of Trustees. He believes that elected officials have a responsibility to offer solutions to the problems of their community whether they are in the minority or majority.
Tom is an honest, intelligent, pragmatic problem solver whose skills are sorely needed in our county government. I urge my fellow Democrats to support him on Sept. 10. We need Democrats who aren't afraid to lead.
Ira M. Millstein,

Do you like traveling and diversity, state of the art mixed with a rustic decoration and an environment that's both touristy and working class? The Le Quoi apartment is the picture image of the exotic side of Paris. Only 5 minutes away from the top of Montmartre, Le Quoi is immersed in the African district of Paris known as Château Rouge. Piles of fruit and vegetables cover the streets as well as stores selling typical African goods. The inhabitants feel happy here and we can clearly see it on their faces. They openly converse on the sidewalks giving an impression of living in a village where everyone knows one another. Situated on metro line 4, which crosses through Paris from north to south, you can easily access the 4 corners of Paris.
Before heading off to your Parisian travels, discover the incredible universe of le Quoi! Climb up the 2 flights of steps and penetrate into the lair, which is both vintage and modern at the same time, of an owner who loves going to flea markets. A long hallway gives access to all the rooms of the apartment, directly letting you dive into the atmosphere of le Quoi. With the rooms you can find paintings spread throughout, big metal letters arranged to spell out French words such as "Oh" or "Quoi", refurbished and modernized furniture with bright colors, and mismatched armchairs full of charm. The Le Quoi apartment is spacious, cozy and stunning.
Kitchen Open onto the hallway, and is entirely equipped : dish-washer, gas-oven, microwave, 4 gas burners, a toaster, Nespresso coffee machine, an electric whip, washing machine, dryer, and the necessary utensils for cooking.
Living room Comfortably seated on the pull out bed, ideal for 2 people, you won't know where to look first as the apartment is decorated with rare objects. The living room has a flat screen television, internet with wi-fi and an Ipod stereo hook-up.
Bedroom Spacious and country-like, the bedroom has a double bed 140x200, two bedside lamps, a television and a large armoire.
Bathroom Equipped with a shower, a sink with a mirror and a toilet.
Metro line 4 Chateau Rouge Station
Bus Line 56, Line 31

Neighborhood life
The Château Rouge area is situated next to the top of Montmartre, in the 18th arrondissement. Very animated during the daytime, it is known for its large immigrant African population. Numerous markets, supermarkets and African barber shops are open all year long. On the weekend, hundreds of clients from all of the Ile de France region bustle around this area, looking for products that are rarely found elsewhere (tropical fruits, spices).
The rue Dejean and the neighboring areas are often known as the "exotic market". The market takes place every day except for Mondays.
The must-sees nearby Montmarte and its basilica, the Pigalle area, the flea markets of Clignancourt, in a few metro stops you are directly in Chatelet Les Halles, on the Grands Boulevards or in Odeon.

The interior of the apartment is absolutely ok, cozy and atmospheric. Cleanliness was poor: dust, refrigerator not clean, use toothbrush and dirty glass in the bathroom. Nearby: bonjour tristesse! Really this is not done with a weekend tourists who want to relax. Chateau Rouge is unsafe, dirty, noisy and oppressive! The metro stop is absolutely not safe at night! We have traveled extensively throughout the world and are not easily scared, but this neighborhood, ...
De inrichting van het appartement is absoluut ok, gezellig en sfeervol. Netheid liet te wensen over : veel stof, koelkast niet schoon, gebruikte tandenborstel en vies glas in de badkamer. De buurt : bonjour tristesse! Werkelijk dit doe je niet met toeristen die een weekendje willen ontspannen. Chateau Rouge is onveilig, vies, lawaaierig en beklemmend ! De metrohalte absoluut niet veilig s'avonds! Wij hebben veel gereisd, over heel de wereld en zijn niet snel bang, maar deze buurt,...
Checking in and out worked perfectly and quickly. We were a little irritated from the fact that we were not dealing with an apartment, but with an actual resident of the abandoned apartment for a few days, which has resulted in the fact that both all the cupboards and the refrigerator (salad, milk .. .) were occupied. We did not unduly disturbed, we had a nice stay in Paris, Metro station is near, some sites (such as Sacre-Coeur) are within easy walking distance.
Ein- und Auschecken hat problemlos und unkompliziert funktioniert. Etwas irritiert waren wir davon, dass wir es nicht mit einer Ferienwohnung zu tun hatten, sondern mit einer von der eigentlichen Bewohnerin nur für einige Tage verlassenen Wohnung, was sich darin äußerte, dass sowohl alle Schränke als auch der Kühlschrank (Salat, Milch...) belegt waren. Uns hat das nicht übermäßig gestört, wir hatten einen schönen Aufenthalt in Paris, Metrostation ist in der Nähe, einige Sehenswürdigkeiten (z.B. Sacre-Coeur) sind bequem zu Fuß zu erreichen.
It is a very nice apartment.
Comfortable and cozy furnishings. Everything you need is there.
The location is great in a vibrant African section in the 18th arrondissement of Paris. The Sacre Coeur is a 10 minutes walk.
Good value for money! This is really a first class appartment, clean, cosy, and comfortable. And in addition, located in a unique quarter of Montmartre, with a friendly African atmosphere. My children and I immediately felt at home. Go and find out for yourself!
We were very surprised at how easy it is to book a hotel on Wimdu. Everything went smoothly and I would love to plan a trip with Wimdu,
Wir waren sehr überrascht, wie einfach man eine Unterkunft über WIMDU buchen kann . Alles hat reibungslos geklappt und ich würde jederzeit wieder eine Reise mit Wimdu planen,
Leider war es von außen nicht erkennbar, dass sich dort eine Ferienwohnung befindet.Ich musste erst mal telefonieren, damit ich meine Schlüssel bekomme.
Daraufhin mussten wir 1,5 Stunden warten. Die Ferienwohnung ist ganz nach meinem Geschmack eingerichtet. Allerdings sollte im Küchenbereich mehr Wert auf Hygiene gelegt werden. -Die zentrale Lage in der Nähe des Montmartre hat mir gefallen.
The apartment is very nice. Clean and with all the things you'll need. It is unfortunately a little dark since it is in the courtyard but the building is beautiful and it is a cosy place so it's a pleasure coming home. The beds are comfortable and the placement is excellent if you want to feel home in the Arrondissement. We walked almost every where. It's a small apartment so I would suggest you only stay there with family since you cannot have any privacy. I travelled with my daughter and my parents. Anne Sophie ordered the taxi for us to the airport wich was very nice. I would recommend this apartment to everyone with or without children.
The flat is absolutely fine! It is small, but I'm not in Paris to hang around in doors.. Nicely located. Fine welcome and everything worked just as promised.
Enjoy Paris!
Very lovely appartment, perfect for romantic journeys for two! We booked the appartment over New Years Eve and were very happy with our stay. The area around it was pure French lifestyle, with lots of little boulangeries and shops in walking distance. Perfect for the daily shopping and amusement. We highly recommend the appartment to everyone looking for a typical sweet French studio apart from the tourist masses.

AVB - Lucky or good...or bad...or
Yet again we seem to pluck a win from a game where we seemed lack lustre. I think AVB will gain a reputation from this season that isn't entirely justified by the performances. I'm not sure whether he's (we've) been exceedingly lucky this season or whether he is good. A forced sub, and then what seemed odd to me - bringing off Lemmon (the supplier) and putting on Ade (presumably for more of an aerial presence) - but we then look a bit more threatening and score.
Another win though - and again, after the Woolwich bunch start off on the good foot, their game apparently went flat as well. Let's hope the Chavs misfire today as well (not tooooo badly that they feel the need to 'bounce' back!)Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
poor attempt at a mind game if thats what it was! jose wont be worried. saying things like fulham can go down is silly to me. equally i could say 20 teams can win the prem next season. but its not realistic. a crazy sequence of results would have to happen for fulham to go down. not realistic. but thats just me! u & the media can pretend its a realistic outcome to make things more exciting. ignore me, its my hang up. i dont see the point in pretending things are more close & exciting than they really are. iv got no imagination! couldnt get in to star wars, lord of the rings, twilight or harry potter.

I'm not so sure SB. The Chavs looked like they could have blown it yesterday. Wigan beat City.
I know you like predictions - and you may be good at it - and I know certain things are unlikely - but that is football. It is the 'unlikely' events that keep us on the edge of our seats.
its deja-vu again sfer. just like villa away last season, we need to win & score yet defoe stays on the bench. even the pundits couldnt believe defoe didnt play or come on. instead he was going to bring on carrol as u say! last season it was harry bringing on parker.id have rather defoe come on instead of dempsey. just like the villa game, that pt is highly unlikely to be of any use. it was proven last season to be of no use too. looks like we are handing top 4 to arsenal again. cant see them dropping any pts. back to the game. ade showed what he can do on his day but he isnt consistant enough. avbs high line with dawson is asking for trouble! hudd was just completly off the pace, as expected i guess. bae wasnt good enough which is quite commen for our away games.

I would be highly surprised if we finish in the top now especially now Chelsea have beaten united we need to go and beat Chelsea in there own yard to stand any hope.
I have screamed shouted cheered been angry this year been a roller coaster one all in all I think not qualifying for the champs league and finishing 5th will be a failure and a non improvement from last season .
I hope AVB gets the money from levy in the summer so we can finally break into that top 4

Bit of a #$%$ wasn't it?
I think the Chavs and Woolwich reaped the benefit of the fixture draw - as I doubt if the Utd results would have been the same had Utd still EPL Title winning points to play for.
But such is life, it could have been us benefiting.
Makes the Wednesday game a bit interesting doesn't it? Maybe, just maybe this will the one game that I've been waiting for where I will think that we've played well for the full 90 minutes.
Lemmon back, Bale fit and both strikers to choose from. What's the news on Dembele?
Maybe Luiz will also get a retrospective ban for bringing the game into disrepute as well......
Why do I feel so nervous? Sweaty palms already....
On the subject of AVB - I found this amusing, given that I personally think we haven't played that well (so far - to change tonight!) .....
...made me wonder what AVB's 'style' then was and whether he thinks we're invisible or not.
Hopefully, his 'style' will become more apparent next season, after he's had a chance to bring in players he wants.

he does say a lot of rubbish. remember him saying arsenal are on a negative spiral. & now they are odds on to finish above us. i agree that our performances have mainly been poor & lacklustre. recently i dont know how we have ended up with 7pts from last 3 games. i dont think we deserved to win any. im dreading tonight. we are going to get hammered. they are a much better side & we havent won their for 23yrs. also lennon & dembele not fit. both were rushed back to early yet again & had to go off injured. thats at least 4 times now that lennons been rushed back to soon & ended up going off injured. its just the media building up the race for 4th. the bookies are realistic & have us big outsiders for top 4. its the same with the relegation battle. its pretty clear wigan are going down. but the media are trying to make out its more exciting. odds on that arsenal & chelsea finish top4 & wigan go down. sorry to burst the so called exciting climax lie!
This software has a few problems - twice I've replied to SB here, and twice the post appears to be accepted initially, but then vanishes. I'll try a separate 'linked' subject thread...

Congratulations, Mags!! Keep it up!! It will get easier!!!

Good job there my friend. At 4 weeks - all those nasty toxins are gone - you are coasting now - Kong is just peeping in the window from the cold - let his monkey but freeze!!!
Keep things in perspective - you took a break from the computer to spend time with the family for the holidays - yeah - that's it!
Your title does say reflections - so reflect = I am ready! - I know the food will be there, also.
The thing about being a non-smoker is that you have to learn how to do everything again - just without having a cigarette in your hand and trying not to burn yourself! Just think, life will be easier now!
Can you wash your curtains??? You are probably starting to snell them when you return from errands - get some febreez at least to spray the furniture and stuff! My parents stopped smoking in the house in '83 and the junk is coming through the ceiling paint again - it is slowly turning brown is splotches! UGH - repainting soon!

I don't care what they say, nicotine is the most additive substance on the planet (maybe on Mars it's salad - I don't know...). I officially quit 20+ years ago but STILL in moments of stress I want one. Sometimes I'll take a puff or two if someone is around me who has one and a few times I've actually bought a pack. But thankfully I haven't gone back to full time smoking.
Best of luck - you CAN do it! And when you figure out how to get the monkey off your back, I need some help with mine - he's a white monkey. Commonly known as "Sugar".

Hang tough, Mags! I was up to 3 packs a day when I had a heart attack, and after 53 years of smoking, I successfully quit 14 months ago. I still want one when I play my favorite computer game, but that's the only association left. Chantix got me through it
E A S I L Y! I can't praise it enough. Taking a few "puffs" on the tip of a ballpoint pen satisfies that little urge. Now I can't stand being around smokers - they stink!
- January 4, 2011 at 1:20 PM

Congrats on the 4 weeks! My parents both smoked so I grew up seeing their battles with trying to quit. Both of them finally did. Lot's of luck; I'll be cheering you on!

Congrats on the four weeks! I whined my way through quitting smoking as well. I'll be 2 years smoke-free in March.
It's do-able. It ain't fun (I have a feeling you're well aware of that fact), but it's the best thing you'll ever do for yourself and the ones you love.
Keep at it!!

Oh seriously big hugs to you and your bravery! I'm particularly thrilled that this was something you started before Jan. 1. It seems more real that way.
I've got my own vice (it's the dadgum orange snack called a Cheeto) and it's hard for me to read a book without nibbling on one so I totally understand why the computer is hard right now.
We miss you though.

Wow that is amazing, 4 weeks smoke free after 35 years?! I wish my mom would have your resolve! Cheers to a healthy New Year!

I've been reading your blog for a few months now and I want you to know how much I enjoy it. I decided to comment today because even though we don't know each other, I feel that there is a sense of support that can come right through cyber space. I don't know what it's like to quit smoking, but I've been around my whole family who as at one point or another quit. I think you are brave for sharing with your readers and I hope so much that you continue to beat Kong.

Way to go Mags. I was 2 years without smoking when my husband died and I started back with a vengeance. You've inspired me to think about quitting again. Hugs and prayers.

I'm so proud of you, Mags! I cut out that bad-boy/bad-girl habit back in 1983. It took me several attempts. I think my first try began in 74. If those M&M's fail to satisfy, grab yourself some gum and chew until your jaw hurts.
Seriously, I be proud...you can do this, girl!

I just got the Extraordinarily Longer Thigh Highs and loved them so much that I immediately had to tell you about it. I, of course, love all the socks I order from you, but these are my favorite!! They are not only long enough for my mutant legs, they are also the softest, most lovely thigh highs I have ever worn! I love them so hard.

Holocaust Denial on Trial, Skeleton Argument of the Claimant (long): Electronic Edition, by Adrian DaviesTable of Contents
|<< The Berlin crime statisti...
|< Skeleton
|Extremist Associations >
|Racism and Anti-Semitism >>
184.This peripheral issue (it has nothing to do with Hitler's policy towards the Jews) was introduced by the Defendants in November 1999, at a time when the Claimant was struggling under the weight of preparing as a litigant in person for a heavy trial. It arises out of the first of Irving's books, which he began writing in 1960, and published as long ago as 1963, and which was not substantially revised until the 1996 edition. During the intervening thirty-three years, Irving had little control over the text, which was in the hands of sub-licensees. Some of the figures which Gray J cites in his chronologies are from jacket blurbs, over which the author had no control whatsoever.
185.In November 1999, the Defendants must have known that there was no possibility of Irving going back in any detail to his 1963 material in time for a trial fixed for 11 January 2000. Lipstadt later explained the Defendants' tactics in the Jerusalem Post of 6 June 2000:--
"There was always the possibility that Irving would drop out, and some of the pre-trial strategy was designed to keep pressure on him, in the hope that he would give up."
186.1.86, Irving is said to have falsified the death toll in Dresden. See e_g at 1.3.124:--
"He [Irving] also testified that his claims had been based on estimates as high as 250,000 which he had received from a great many individuals. Irving neither identified the individuals nor disclosed the letters."
187. Irving had donated his records to the Dresden city archives in 1965. Microfilm copies were disclosed to the Defendants. Among evidence thus disclosed and produced to the Court were letters from Hanns Voigt, a wartime Dresden city official in charge of maintaining death lists, who gave his best estimate of the death roll at 135,000, the figure used by Irving; and a letter from Dr Max Fünfack, a wartime medical officer in Dresden, stating that General Mehnert, the city commandant and Professor Fetscher, chief of the city's civil defence, had at that time given him death roll figures of around 140,000. Mr Irving also produced a book with a foreword by Dr Konrad Adenauer, Germany's post-war Chancellor, with this footnote: "The attack on the city on Dresden, which was filled with refugees on 13 February 1945 alone cost about 250,000 dead," and a report by US Air Force medical officers Desaga and Hurd, in the records of the US Strategic Bombing Survey, giving a similar figure. "The most badly damaged town, in their opinion, is Dresden with an estimated casualty list of 250,000." Prof. Evans was cross-examined on these two sources on Day 23, 21 February 2000, pages 197 et seq.
188. It is submitted that Irving fairly used the material available to him between 1960 and 1963 on this side issue.

Today's letters: Our crosswalks
Published: Sunday, June 16, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, June 14, 2013 at 5:30 p.m.
To the editor: In the June 6 Times-News article concerning the Main Street Project, we learned that some of the crosswalks had to be redone when their elevated grades became more like speed bumps for drivers. The obvious implication was that the problem had been corrected.
That seemed strange since I had just driven the length of Main Street and bounced over numerous crosswalks. Seeking clarification, I called our city engineer, Brent Detwiler. Mr. Detwiler assured me that all the crosswalks on Main St., except the one midway between Third and Fourth avenues, which needs minor adjustment, perform as expected.
Government work.

Middle East plan
To the editor: Trudy Rubins column in last Tuesdays Times-News edition described as a plan the concept that Ehud Olmert presented recently for an Israel-Palestine solution. Like its very similar Abdullah Plan endorsed years ago by Saudi King Abdullah, the entire Arab League and the Palestine Authority, Olmerts concept is a proposal, not a detailed plan.
Both Abdullah and Olmert glossed over the crucial details that would need to be completed by negotiations between the two parties. Therein lies the rub.
Israels governments have insisted that negotiations not prevent construction of new and expanded settlements in Canaan which are placed to dominate militarily the West Bank and control the water aquifers vital to Palestinian farming. Mahmud Abbass regime insists that negotiations cannot be held until settlement construction is halted.
President Barack Obama, like the predecessors Rubin cited, has called publicly for negotiations that would adjust the 1967 borders to the satisfaction of both parties. At least two-thirds of Israels public, and more than half of Palestinian Arabs, also favor that approach. Only pro-Zionists (in Israel and America) reject Arab rights in the Canaan that they claim as Eretz Israel.
It remains for Congress to permit the U.S. to follow through.

Hitting the curb
To the editor: While taking a walk down Main Street the other day, my eyes were drawn to all the new curbing that the city has spent so much money on. Upon closer inspection, I noticed that each and every corner curb had black tire marks on it.
It does not take a genius to see that turning on or off Main Street creates a problem and that there is not enough room to make this turn without hitting the curb unless you turn your steering wheel to excess. It just seems that this city is making one screw-up after another.
Do we now rip up all the curbs and start all over again? I still like the old adage, If it aint broke, dont fix it.
Bart Bohnen
Telephone scam
To the editor: A serious scam is now making its way over the phone lines, when a caller named John offers you a free medical alert system, all paid for by a friend or relative.
Guess what? The delivery has been paid for as well. All you have to do is press 1 on your phone. If I did I imagine I would be in for some kind of contract, paid by me and probably expensive.
My phone is on the Do Not Call registry. Does this registry work? Not at all. Beware the scam.

Every once in a while, a name comes a long that is so fake, so not-real, so obviously made up, that you literally cannot fathom an alternate universe in which it might ever exist.
Sometimes that name belongs to a Bond Girl. Sometimes it is an nontraditional variation of the name "Kate." Sometimes it is Joe Jonas' new girlfriend:
Blanda Eggenschwiler
"Hello, my name is Blanda Eggenschwiler. This is my boyfriend, Joe Jonas."
"Hello, I would like to order a birthday cake for myself. I would like the cake to read 'Happy Birthday, Blanda Eggenschwiler.'
"Blanda Eggenschwiler residence."
If you were going to date Joe Jonas but didn't want any of your friends from high school to find out about it, what name would you give yourself? Or, if you were Joe Jonas and wanted everyone to think you were dating and romantically interested in a female human, what name would you give her?
I'll start: Justa Reglargurl.
(If you're curious, the Daily Mail has pictures of former model Blanda Eggenschwiler, who is as beautiful as her name is imaginary.)

Though video game playing is a popular pastime for children, too much of it could lead to health problems down the road. (WRDW-TV / Dec. 15, 2011)
News 12 at This Morning / Thursday, Dec. 15, 2011
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Video games can score you major points with the kids.
"Star Rim or something. The other one, Call of Duty," that's what's on Tammy Neal's 15-year-old son's list.
Neal knows what her son is after this Christmas.
"He has his comfy chair, he reclines in it. Plays games, he has a computer set up and does dual conversation with head sets," Neal explained.
Having their glued to the TV and mashing buttons to level up is a cause for concern for pediatricians like Dr. Reginald Pilcher, who is a pediatrician at Doctors Hospital.
"You can truly get blisters, erosion of the thumb. I have seen this," Pilcher said.
Pilcher said it's not uncommon for young adults to experience shoulder problems and even thumb cramps.
"He plays more than an hour," Pilcher said. "On average, three hours."
That's too much, according to Dr. Pilcher, but Neal draws the line when it comes to family time.
"There just comes a time to turn it off. It's dinner time," Neal said.
Too much video game playing can not only have physical effects, but social consequences as well.
"Kids are not learning how to talk to each other or communicate. They are communicating through text messages," Pilcher said.
It's also contributing to our nation's growing waistline, as more sit and use the controller instead of paying outside.
"At least there is a little activity with Wii, compared to just sitting on the couch," Pilcher said.
Neal isn't too worried. She says she tries to keep her son active.
"I know the sign to look for in him," she said.
If you're still in doubt this shopping season, go with gaming consoles that require movement and limit their time on the screen so their young eyes are not strained.
Pilcher recommends that no child under the age of 5 should start playing video games or watch anything on a brightly-lit screen. He recommends for parents to limit gaming time to an hour or half an hour for younger children.

Cupcake is another word for happiness. These cupcakes look like Uniqua and require only basic cake decorating supplies and some candies for her antennae.
Catch the Backyardigans on Nick Jr.
Tint one can of the vanilla frosting green. Spoon 1 cup of the green frosting into a pastry bag fitted with a small star tip; set it aside. Spoon 1/4 cup of the vanilla frosting into a resealable bag; set it aside. Tint 1/4 cup of the vanilla frosting a dark pink with the food colors and spoon into a resealable bag. Tint the remaining vanilla frosting a lighter pink.
Trim 1/4 inch on opposite sides of the vanilla wafers to make an oval shape using a serrated knife. Place the cookies on a wire rack placed over a wax-paper-lined sheet pan. Heat the lighter pink frosting in a microwave-proof measuring cup for 5 seconds, or until it's the texture of slightly whipped cream. (Do not overheat!) Pour the frosting over the cookies to cover them completely. Reheat the excess if necessary. Let the cookies dry for about 30 minutes.
Cut the wax paper into a 3 inch square. Cut out a 3/4-inch-circle in the center. Place the opening over a dried cookie and spray lightly with the food spray. Continue over the cookie to create Uniqua's pattern. Continue with the remaining cookies.
Meanwhile frost the tops of the cupcakes with the green frosting. Transfer the cookies to the center of each cupcake. Pipe several patches of "grass" with the frosting in the pastry bag with the star tip.
Pipe dots of vanilla frosting for the eyes and attach the mini chocolate chips, flat-side up. Add a small dot of frosting onto the chocolate chips. Mold the fruit chew into a 1 1/2 inch rope. Curl one end and place at the top of the cupcake as Uniqua's antenna. Snip a small corner from the bag with the darker pink frosting and pipe the mouth and eyebrows. Continue with the remaining cupcakes and ingredients.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Augusta commissioners said no, and now the company that wanted to run the Patch has withdrawn its offer.
On Tuesday, commissioners did not approve a lease agreement with Virginia Beach Golf Management.
Some commissioners say the Parks and Recreation director should be hired first so the director would have a chance to look over the contract before it was finalized.
Virginia Beach Golf Management officially withdrew its offer on Wednesday, saying, "After successfully negotiating a lease agreement with the evaluation team and having the motion to approve a lease agreement fail three times, we have decided to respectfully withdraw our offer. VBGM has been in negotiations on another golf course and we feel we need to put our energies in that project."

Mountaineer raises morale at Williamstown Elementary
May 22, 2013
WILLIAMSTOWN — The West Virginia University Mountaineer brought a little West Virginia pride to Williamstown Elementary School Tuesday....
I had the opportunity to meet this young man this past weekend at North Bend State Park where he proudly displayed his position as the WVU Mountaineer mascot. The children there, celebrating nature's wonders with the Division of Natural Resources, appeared amazed and intrigued to be in his presence. He was a true gentleman who acknowledged and spoke with anyone within reach and hearing distance with kindness and fairness.
In my opinion, he is a great representative as the WVU Mountaineer and I for one am quite impressed with his efforts to speak and interact with the next generation.

Well, chances are that you're broke this Winter Break, and therefore can't afford to do much more than sit at home. Then again, maybe you should put in a little elbow grease and make some of that cheddar. In case you do have some extra cash lying around and you feel the need to escape ye old parents, here are some great (cold) places to go:
1. Tremblant and Montreal – For all you East Coasters out there who are looking for a ski mountain to shred, Tremblant is your spot. It's a world-class mountain (something hard to find on the East Coast), and it's just a couple hours north of Montreal, one of the most underrated cities ever. And if you get in trouble? Don't worry! You're in Canada.
2. Jackson Hole, Wyoming – If you love snow/skiing/snowboarding and you've never been to J-Hole, then you are a bad lover of snow/skiing/snowboarding. The town is a little hokey, but it's full of lively bars and fun-loving ski bums. They've been running a promotion where if you fly with three friends, the fourth flies free. Split the cost, stay in "The Hostel" on the cheap, and get you some powder.
3. Tahoe – Tahoe has it all like whooOOoaa. If you're a gambler, head to south shore where the classy Mont Bleu will be happy to take your money. If you're a skier/boarder, head to Squaw, Alpine, or Kirkwood and strap your shred sticks on. Check out SnowBomb for great discounts in Tahoe, or Liftopia for good discounts at any ski resort!
There you have it, real live Wintry places.

Star bright
Posted by Shreve & Co. at 6:17:56 AM in Hearts on Fire (28)
This was how one family's Christmas tradition inspired one husband to show his love with a Hearts on Fire.
It's a Christmas tradition in his house where a fresh alpine is brought home and meticulously decorated with an array of colorful ornaments. The last and final piece to the Christmas tree has always been the star. The responsibility of placing the star belongs to the wife, who always makes sure that the star is arranged just right.
One Christmas, the wife was distraught to realize the star was broken. The couple went shopping for a replacement, "but they just don't make them like they used to," said a disappointed wife, as the couple returned home empty handed. However, on Christmas day the husband presented his wife with a shiny Hearts on Fire diamond star pendant, whispering to her, "because it just wouldn't be Christmas without a star."
Hearts on Fire is available at Shreve & Co. at Palo Alto, California, San Francisco, California, and Portland, Oregon.
