The 6th century religious relic, St. Conal's Bell, was mysteriously stolen from Woodhill House in 1845. The house which overlooks the beautiful Donegal Highlands is set in its own grounds with an old walled garden. It is half a mile from the sea and a quarter of a mile from the coastal town of Ardara. The house offers unusual and interesting accommodation with private bathrooms/showers, Failte Ireland 3 star rated. There is a fully licensed lounge bar, which has occasional music sessions for tourists and locals alike. Woodhill House is well known for its high quality and reasonably priced restaurant which accommodates houseguests and the general public. The menu is French based using fresh Irish produce, especially seafood from nearby Killybegs, Ireland's principal fishing port.
The heritage town of Ardara is geographically well placed for exploring the wild and beautiful county of Donegal. "Up here it's different!!" is a frequent comment about the county. This area is famous for its Donegal tweeds and woollen goods. The local factory shops offer exceptional bargains. The Owenea River provides excellent salmon and trout fishing and is regarded as one of the best in the country. Pony trekking along the beaches is also popular.

League, the highest sea cliffs in Europe, is only 20 minutes away and close to
Glencolmcille, an archaelogically rich Pagan and Christian centre, with its
fascinating folk village. A scenic 3/4 hour drive to the north is Glenveagh

Autopsy confirms Bat Cave man was beaten to death
Published: Saturday, January 12, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 11, 2013 at 7:34 p.m.
An autopsy report paints a grisly scene at the home of a Bat Cave man who investigators say was bludgeoned to death.
Fifty-two-year-old Walter Cleveland Davis was found dead in his home on Minihaha Drive Oct. 11 by co-workers who went to check on him after he missed two days of work at Esmeralda Inn.
The autopsy report confirmed that Davis died from "blunt trauma of the head" a minute after midnight on Oct. 8. "Copious amounts of blood" were found throughout the house and Davis suffered "repeated wounds inflicted by a claw hammer," according to the report
"A hammer was reportedly recovered from a body of water running adjacent to his residence," according to the report. "Autopsy findings revealed blunt trauma of the head with numerous abrasions, contusions and lacerations predominantly on the head. Many of the injuries had a semicircular and circular pattern."
The medical examiner found "numerous skull fractures, many of which were circular" in shape, and noticed blunt trauma to the chest and abdomen, fractured ribs, a brain hemorrhage and bruising. The autopsy report shows Davis suffered multiple contusions, abrasions and more than 20 lacerations.
The toxicology report showed no presence of alcohol.
Henderson County sheriff's deputies have charged 29-year-old Daniel Clay Moore, a houseguest of the deceased, with first-degree murder.
"We don't know what the true motive to murder may have been," said Capt. Frank Stout.
Moore was granted representation by public defender J. Tyler Ray.

- coolI like this 'cause it is compact and can mount on many things. And launchers are great for scarring people. Imitation factors are high with this.
- alrightgreat for mounting and has a nice spread pattern, nice heft which adds to realism.
too bad there's no grenade included and and for the price of buying the launcher and a couple of grenades, you can get a rather nice rifle or gas gun.
- fun noob toobMaximas was right, this is great for intimidation. This saved my butt once in a game already, and i didn't even have to pull the trigger. The enemy saw me reach forward and took off running. I'm not sure of the fps on this, but NO ONE wants to get hit with it.
Great design, nice and solid. I use the RIS adapter and it feels great. It has a great pattern, and easy to reload. You could definately get a great gbb or aeg for the cost but this is a nice add on to a rifle.
- Perfect... Pure and SimpleAs far as grenade launchers go, this is just about the best thing on the market. It is full metal which makes it durable, it has a very high imitation factor, and it's just plain deadly. It would be nice if it came with an instruction manual (I had some difficulty changing the interfaces, but that won't matter in an actual airsoft war right?).
3 adapters can work on almost any gun
Good spread pattern
No instruction manual
Slightly difficult to install
Minor shaking while mounted
- this is a great grenade launcherwhether you want to attach it to an m15 or to an m4 this launcher will serve you well.
made of metal
great for qcb
a little heavy if you aren't strong enough

Pump renovation aims to combat flooding
Published: Saturday, December 14, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, December 14, 2013 at 11:13 p.m.
A $5 million pump station renovation to help drain parts of Houma finished under budget, parish officials said.
The Bayou Lacarpe pump station will relieve flooding in the Deweyville neighborhood into the downtown area, Capital Projects Administrator Jeanne Bray said.
The Parish Council is expected to approve a $64,541 reduction of the project's final cost Monday.
The contractor did not need to use all of the material, so the parish got a refund, Bray said.
The improvements will allow more water to flow through the pumps and drain the neighborhood more effectively. The station received larger pipes and a debris screen.
In the past, parish workers manually removed trash clogging the pump station. Now the debris screen will cut down on trips to clear the area.
The pump station will eventually help drain parts of downtown Houma after pipe work along Barrow Street near Magnolia Street is complete.
Workers shut down Barrow for more than a week last month to install pipes to improve water flow.
"That area has experienced a lot of flooding," Bray said.
The project is about 80 percent done, and should wrap up soon, Bray said.
The council will hold several committee meetings starting at 5:30 p.m. Monday in the Government Tower at Main and Gabasse streets in Houma.
The full council will meet at 6 p.m. Wednesday.

Mark Rutledge: The games people play
Published: Sunday, April 7, 2013 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, April 5, 2013 at 7:47 p.m.
'Did you move?" is a regular question my wife and I ask each other these days. We are getting older, but it's not what you think.
My wife is a bit of a gamer. Whenever we travel she plays solitaire or backgammon against her iPad. When the iPad wins, she accuses it of cheating.
I've grown accustomed to waking in bed to find her engaged in any number of silent video games beside me. To facilitate more quality awake time between us, I started playing Words With Friends with Sharon. It's basically an online version of Scrabble. Whenever Sharon wins, I often accuse her of cheating.
I've never been much good at video games. My friend Jim "Foggy" Dosser recently suggested I write a sequel to a column from many years ago that involved his son, Max, and a new game at the time called Pokémon. It's a Japanese game that originated from someone's interest in collecting insects.
Pokémon is too complicated for me to understand, much less explain, but young Max told me all those many years ago that he planned to still be playing Pokémon at 21.
I'm not sure what effect Pokémon has on brain development, but it apparently did not hurt Max's. His dad reports that Max is a stellar student at Wake Forest University, majoring in chemistry and music and getting special permission to take excessive course loads.
I don't recall the word "excessive" ever being applied to my college coursework. Perhaps it's because there was no such a thing as Pokémon.
"While he was home the other weekend," Foggy said of his son, "I asked him what he was doing. He was playing Pokémon. He said he would still be playing at 21, and he is."
I doubt I would be much good at Pokémon. I use words for a living and my wife currently has 134 points on me in Words With Friends. When she moves that far ahead, I accuse her of reaching beyond her own brain development.
Playing Scrabble online affords one the ability to quickly access certain resources that do not exist when playing the old-fashioned way. There's a website, for instance, called Scrabble Word Finder. I call it cheating.
How else could someone come up with the word "fauteuil?" It's a noun meaning "upholstered armchair." I've never heard my wife -- or anyone else, for that matter -- say, "Won't you pull up a fauteuil and join us?"
Such is the world of online gaming. When I was a kid, we used to have the neighbors over for homemade pizza and Parcheesi. Scrabble and card games were big, too, and I had a girlfriend who liked to play Monopoly.
When my girlfriend's family stayed over once during a winter storm, we kept our Monopoly game going until everyone else went to bed.
Did we end up sitting in the same fauteuil? We certainly did.
Would I ever allow my daughters to do that? Yes. When they're 21.

The Challenge of Facebook's Graph Search
Facebook is hoping that its new search engine will be the next big thing. But it will need a lot more cooperation from users.
On Tuesday, Facebook unveiled Graph Search, a tool that mines its vast trove of user data and surfaces results based on social signals, such as Facebook "likes." CEO Mark Zuckerberg described the service as one of the social network's three main pillars. One day, he mused, it could be a real business for Facebook. The hope is that people will use the tool not only to search for friends' college photos when they're bored, but also to discover local sushi restaurants, new music, singles in their neighborhood and employees for their businesses.
The problem: Facebook's search engine is only meaningful if users are willing to give up more of their data, according to many analysts. That requires not only trust, already a prickly issue for Facebook, but also a major shift in how users spend their time on Facebook.
"We are at the very early stages of Graph Search, and look forward to seeing how people use the product and to learn from them," a Facebook spokeswoman says.
Danny Sullivan, a founding editor of Search Engine Land, says it will be hard for Facebook to be a robust search engine because users don't naturally share everything they do in the real world, such as visits to their children's schools or doctors' offices. He doesn't believe Google provides a fulfilling experience for "friend-oriented recommendations" searches either, but says it's hard to imagine a world where
Facebook friends have liked enough local businesses to make the tool comprehensive for local business searches.
"People may never want to check in with their children's pediatrician," he said. "And just because I don't check in my children's schools doesn't mean I don't like their schools."
Mr. Sullivan says for most people, there's a lot of stuff left off of Facebook. He reads a lot of books, for instance, but he rarely notes them on Facebook.
That incomplete nature of Facebook's data can lead to some misleading results. A quick search, for example, of nearby people who are single yields a list of local friends and friends of friends who have listed themselves as "single." However, this search, which potentially threatens to displace services like Match.com, included people in relationships because some unmarried young people don't bother to change their relationship status to "in a relationship" because of the awkwardness of breaking up on Facebook if the relationship comes to an end.
Facebook's Graph Search is also muddling through the challenge of how to best surface and rank results. A ranking algorithm, dependent on signals like "likes," connections, comments and other interactions, helps dictate which items are pushed to the front of results. Mr. Zuckerberg said that when he searched for photos of himself and his wife, the photos with the most likes and comments were at the top. For searches of nearby restaurants, a lot of check-ins into that restaurant will help its placement in results. Mr. Zuckerberg on Tuesday said the company is working on encouraging reviews, such as star ratings of restaurants when people check in.
"People go to Facebook, to hang out, to express themselves, people don't necessarily go there to find a restaurant," says Apostolos Gerasoulis, a professor of computer science at Rutgers University. "It's hard to push people to go to Facebook for something else, unless Facebook can give them significantly higher quality results.
He adds Facebook will need to find new ways to collect and parse data, well beyond "likes" or "check-ins," to better anticipate what a user will like and what kind of music or local businesses, for example, would interest them.
"We will be looking at the feedback and data we get from the slow roll out to continually improve the order of search results so that the recommendations get better over time," the Facebook spokeswoman says.
Then there's the problem of trust. Over the past nine years, Facebook has had its share of privacy flaps. Last year, it finalized a settlement with regulators that will subject it to privacy audits for the next two decades. For its search tool, Facebook has tried to blunt privacy concerns early and announced plans to remind users to review what data they share. The company says users will only be able to search for data they already have access to.
Even so, Graph Search will make it incredibly easy for people to immediately retrieve information about their friends. Users may not feel comfortable that co-workers can find their college photos with one click, instead of four or five clicks. In practice, obfuscation can be a form of privacy.
"The issue is that privacy is not just what information could be found about you, but how that information can be discovered, how it could be aggregated and sliced and diced," says Chris Conley, a Technology and Civil Liberties Fellow at the ACLU of Northern California. Mr. Conley also takes issue with how Facebook will make sure that companies aren't taking advantage of search to target consumers. The company has said companies won't be allowed to use Graph Search to target consumers, under its terms of service, though it's unclear how that will be enforced or monitored.
"There's a responsibility on Facebook to do more than tell businesses to act properly," Mr. Conley says.
The Facebook spokeswoman says: "We understand that Graph Search provides another way for content you have shared on Facebook to be surfaced, and have taken steps to educate people on privacy settings and encourage them to review their content on Facebook and take action on anything that they don't like." said.
There are other signs that Facebook could be losing its users' trust. Last month, the company was forced to backtrack on certain proposed changes to its terms of service for Instagram, its photo-sharing service, after users' loudly said some of the new terms would allow advertisers to use their content and images for ads.
According to Patrick Salyer, CEO of Gigya, a service that helps sites integrate with social networks, Facebook users are beginning to pull back on using Facebook Connect, or using their Facebook log-ins to connect to third party sites and services. Gigya, which touches a billion users through its work, says Facebook Connect's share of the social log-in market grew steadily until 2012, when it began to level off and now hangs at roughly 50%. Mr. Salyer says it's a sign of wariness.
"Users don't understand how their data is being used," he says. "They're looking for increased transparency, a better idea of what's happening."
Correction & Amplification: Gigya CEO Patrick Salyer's name was incorrectly spelled in an earlier version of this post.

Holiday Overview
Holiday Overview
- Camp beneath Khan Tengri and Peak Pobeda
- Meet nomadic Kazakh shepherds at their yurt camps
- Exciting helicopter transfers to and from the Inylchek basecamp
- All meals and helicopter flights included in the price
Extending for thousands of kilometres across Central Asia, the Tien Shan is one of the world's great mountain ranges. Making our approach from the Kazakh capital of Almaty, we begin a stunning week of trekking on shepherds' trails beside clear mountain streams. Our route takes us by way of several high passes on the north side of the Inylchek Glacier, with far-reaching views of towering snow-capped peaks. An undoubted highlight of the holiday is the remote trekking across meadows filled with a profusion of multi-coloured wild flowers. Then, as a climax to our adventure, we take a short helicopter ride to the South Inylchek Basecamp and spend 3 nights at this far-flung, glaciated location. We have lots of time to admire the dramatic mountain scenery, as we trek towards the basecamps of the Tien Shan's biggest peaks, Peak Pobeda (7439m) and Khan Tengri (7010m). This brilliant 2-week adventure holiday in Kazakhstan spends time at the spectacular heart of the Tien Shan range and provides a real taste of Central Asia!
Is this holiday for you?
This is a remote mountain journey. The first part of this trip we will be walking on good trails amongst foothills, with lush grass and forest and crossing moderately high passes. We then have a transfer by helicopter to a high and glaciated region where we will be walking on and around the South Inylchek Glacier. On this part of the trip the underfoot conditions will involve bare glacier ice and moraine debris. Any crevasses we encounter can easily be avoided. Crampons and ice-axes are not required. We have graded this holiday to take account of the relative remoteness of the area and the ruggedness of the terrain.

Holiday Itinerary
Meet at the group hotel in Almaty. A single transfer from the airport is provided. Transfer to Karkara.
We rendezvous at the group hotel in Almaty at breakfast time where KE Land Only package services begin. A single timed, group transfer is provided in the early hours of the morning from Almaty Airport to the group hotel. Almaty is a lively, colourful and clean Soviet-built city with wide tree-lined streets and a quite cosmopolitan atmosphere. After breakfast, we board our private transport for the fascinating 6-hour drive to the Karkara Base Camp (2200m). We overnight at this fixed camp which has good facilities, including a bar.
Accommodation Fixed Camp

All terrain vehicle transfer to Kokzhar Valley. Final short walk to camp below the Tyuz Pass (3000m).
Today, we make our way to a camp in the upper Kokzhar Valley, both on foot and with vehicle assistance. After breakfast at camp, we board our impressive 6-wheel-drive support vehicle for the continuation of our journey up into the Kokzhar Valley. This vehicle is needed at this point, as there are a number of deep river crossings to negotiate. After around an hour's drive we may stop to visit with nomadic herders at their yurt encampments. These hardy people bring their flocks of sheep and herds of horses to this rich grazing area during the summer months. Then a further hour and a half of driving brings us to our lunch stop. After lunch we have a further 2 or 3 hours of bumpy, off-road driving through many rivers which would be too deep to cross on foot. After the last of several deep river crossings we can finally stretch our legs with a pleasant walk through grassy alpine meadows, to reach our campsite at around 3000 metres beside a side stream which flows down from the Tyuz Pass (one of many Tyuz passes in this area).

Cross the Tyuz Pass to the headwaters of the Tyuz Kokpak following an ancient shepherd's trail.
Accompanied by our trek crew and a team of pack-horses, we will ascend on a trail beside a tributary stream which leads up to the Tyuz Pass (3556m). Here, we cross a level plateau area which marks the watershed and drop down into the headwaters of the Tyouk Kokpak stream. Descending beside this stream, we are following an ancient shepherds' trail. We may pass Summer Yurt settlements and herds of horses along the way. The valley becomes narrower and we are forced to cross the growing stream several times en route to our camp, which is close to the forest edge at an altitude of around 2750 metres.

Trek into the Ulken Kokpak Gorge through meadows and the forest river valley.
Today's hike takes us through the Kokpak Gorge with many river crossings! (Get your sandals out!). At the discretion of the KE group leader and local guide and depending on recent weather patterns and trail conditions, we may cross an unnamed 3000 metre pass into the Ulken Kokpak Gorge. If conditions are not suitable for crossing the pass, the day will start with a couple of river crossings before following a trail above the river. This opens into a beautiful meadow with an amazing abundance of wild flowers and butterflies, passing old farm buildings and yurt settlements. The trail then follows the river valley in the forest with several river crossings then joins a jeep track where further river crossings maybe made on wooden bridges. We follow the Tulyk Kopak valley to its end and then enter a hunting reserve, passing an old memorial and the Rahat Tor hunting lodge. We camp at approximately 2450 metres, about an hour up the trail from this lodge.

Trek over the Buzynbai Pass (3100m). Descend to Karakol Lake.
An easier trekking day today, with far fewer river crossings! Leaving camp we follow a track through beautiful alpine meadows and have an early lunch stop by big boulder just after a river crossing. From here, we climb steadily at an easy gradient to reach the Buzynbai Pass (3100m). From the top of the pass it is possible to see our campsite, situated at 3000 metres and beautifully located at the far side of the Karakol Lake. The brave can take a dip in the lake's chilly waters!

Ascend a high pass at around 3600m for views of the Central Tien Shan. Descend to Lake Akkol.
After a leisurely breakfast, we leave camp in a southerly direction and walk through alpine meadows before gradually ascending a high pass at around 3600 metres. The final section of this ascent zig-zags at a steady gradient. The top of the pass rewards us with extensive views of some of the bigger peaks of the Central Tien Shan. There is minimal evidence of other people in this area, apart from the occasional curious Kazakh horseman. A straightforward descent from the pass takes us to a braided river crossing (hopping or sandles required!) and then to camp, again at around 3000 metres, on a beautiful flat area at 'Moraine Lake', also known as Lake Akkol

Cross the North Ashutor Pass (3880m). Descent on scree before final ascent to camp (3300m).
Still heading towards the east, we start the day with a steady climb up meadows and scree to a first pass (3600m), then onwards and upwards to the North Ashutor Pass (3800m), from where we have impressive views of the Tien Shan mountains, including Kan Tengri. A steepish scree descent of about 500 metres brings us into a grassy valley which we follow to reach the main Ashutor Valley where many herds of horses and cows graze, with a backdrop of mountain vistas. Towards the end of our walking day, we must ascend for an hour over tussocky grass and a few false summits before reaching our camp in a grazing area at 3300 metres.

Ascend the Ashutor Valley into Kirghizstan where we say goodbye to our trek crew.
Today we ascend to the head of the Ashutor Valley and climb to the Ashutor Pass (3900m) that lies on the border between Kazakhstan and Kirghizstan. Again, we have good views of the Tien Shan peaks and of the Sary Dzhaz Valley ahead of us. We descend to a camp near the river at 3400 metres. The final part of the trail to camp is marked by a series of old telegraph poles. The camp is in a beautiful setting with a remote feel. This is a shorter trekking day than yesterday but still quite tough. Those that have energy left are free to explore the area around camp in the afternoon. In the evening we have a traditional celebratory dinner and tipping ceremony with our trekking staff and horsemen, who will be leaving us in the morning.

Helicopter flight to the South Inylchek Basecamp (4000m) affording amazing views of the Tien Shan.
Striking camp early, we are picked up for a breath-taking helicopter flight (25mins) to the camp on the South Inylchek Glacier, with outstanding views of Tien Shan's highest peaks and the Merzbacher Lake along the way. The South Innychek Basecamp (4000m) is a fixed camp set up each year on the glacier mainly for climbers on Peak Pobeda and Kan Tengri. The afternoon if free to take it easy, acclimatise and soak up the splendid 360 degree mountain views.

Exploration trek towards Peak Pobeda Basecamp along the Zvyozdochka Glacier.
Today, we will make a return trek along the Zvyozdochka Glacier, which is the name given to the southern tributary of the Inylchek Glacier. Ahead of us is an unbelievably vast wall of mountains - the Kokshaal Tau - which culminates in the 7439 metre Peak Pobeda. This trek gives us a different perspective on the cluster of mountains at the head of the Inylchek glacial system. We return to spend a second night at the South Inylchek Basecamp.

Round trip towards Kan Tengri Basecamp following the South Inylcheck Glacier.
Khan Tengri is one of the world's most striking mountains, with its summit taking the form of a sharply defined and quite symmetrical marble pyramid. At sunset, the upper parts of the mountain take on a deep red colour that is particularly dramatic. There has always been some uncertainty about its true height. This is most likely explained by the fact that its rocky high point is at 6995 metres, whilst a permanent snow dome is actually a few metres higher, taking the peak above the important 7000 metre mark. Standing on the border between Kakakhstan and Kirghizstan, the mountain was first climbed in 1931. We will spend a full day on a round trip towards the base of this great peak, hiking up the northern arm of the South Inylchek Glacier. We return to spend a final night at the South Inylchek Basecamp.

A Typical Day
A typical day starts with an early morning wake up and a brew served in your tent. After a hot breakfast, during which camp will be struck and the pack-horses will be loaded, we start walking in the pleasant cool of the morning. We take a packed lunch every day and will stop at a convenient place on the trail for this snack meal, usually after 3 or 4 hours' walking. The pack-horses will usually catch up with the group during lunch. We aim to establish camp by mid to late afternoon. It is usual for the afternoon's walk to be shorter than the morning session. During the day you are free to walk at your own pace and to take as many photographs as you wish. On arrival at camp, the tents will be put up and a hot drink will soon follow. Dinner is ready at around 6 p.m. and is a 3-course meal served in the mess tent. This is a great time of day for reliving the events of the trek so far and for socialising.
Group Leader & Support Staff
Spending Money
Approximately $150 should be allowed for miscellaneous expenses and you should take this money in the form of US dollars currency. You should allow $80 for trek staff tips. Outside of Almaty, there is little opportunity to spend anything. If you are intending to buy expensive souvenirs, you should budget accordingly (credit cards can be useful in this respect).
Guidance on Tipping
Tipping is expected in this part of the world, although you should only tip for services which are well done. The total amount that you can expect to pay in tips for your local guide, trek crew and drivers is approximately $80. The local guide and the KE leader will help to coordinate these payments and decide on an appropriate level of tipping for each crew member.
Baggage Allowance
During the trek, your trek bag will be carried by pack-horses. The packed weight of your trek bag whilst trekking including your sleeping bag and camping mattress should be no more than 15 kgs / 33lbs.
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 involves going to high altitude. During the course of your trip you will reach altitudes in excess of 3500 metres. This is not something that you should worry about; the human body is quite capable of adapting to a very wide range of altitudes, but it is important that we follow some simple rules in order to acclimatise successfully. Before coming on this holiday you should read the advice on trekking at high altitude on our website which can be viewed via the link below. You can also talk to one of our trekking experts if you have any concerns about altitude. www.keadventure.com/page/altitude.html
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. The packed weight of your trek bag whilst trekking should be no more than 15 kgs.

*There are numerous river crossings on this trip, especially on Days 3 and 4 of the itinerary. You will need to have footwear suitable for river crossings, such as Teva style sandals or trainers/sneakers. This footwear should be comfortable to walk in, as there will be sections of up to 15 minutes walking in between river crossings, in which you will not change back into your boots. Crocs, flip-flops and similar non-secured footwear are not suitable for river crossings.
** Shorts or trekking trousers with zip off legs are useful for the trekking days in which there are a number of river crossings eg Days 3 and 4 of the itinerary.*** A long sleeve shirt is good for sun protection whilst trekking on the glacial terrain surrounding South Inilchek basecamp on Days 10 & 11.
Group Size and Holiday Status
For each holiday there is a minimum number of participants required to enable it to go ahead. Once the minimum number is reached, the trip status will change from 'Available' to 'Guaranteed to run'. You can check the trip status for each departure in 'Dates and Prices' table. Other than in exceptional circumstances, we will not cancel a trip once it has achieved this guaranteed to run status and so you are free to proceed with your international flight booking and other travel arrangements.
Passport & Visas
A passport with 6 months remaining validity at the end of your stay is generally required. The information that we provide is for UK passport holders. Please check the relevant embassy or consulate for other nationalities. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have the correct travel documents and visas for your holiday. Visa requirements and charges are subject to change without notice. If you are travelling outside the EU you should have at least 2 blank pages in your passport for each country that you visit.
Visa Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan
UK and USA passport holders do not currently require a visa for Kazakhstan or Kyrgyzstan. For further details we urge you to download and read the detailed information document: Visa PDF Kazakhstan / Kyrgyzstan.
Health & Vaccinations
You should contact your doctor or travel clinic to check whether you require any specific vaccinations or other preventive measures. You should be up to date with routine courses and boosters as recommended in the UK e.g. diphtheria-tetanus-polio and measles-mumps-rubella, along with hepatitis A and typhoid. A good online resource is Travel Health Pro.
Electricity Supply & Plug
We recommend you check if you require an adaptor for your electrical items at:
Preparing For Your Trip
This is a physically demanding trip and you will enjoy your holiday more if you have an appropriate level of fitness for the activities involved. It makes sense before coming on any active holiday to make sure you are in good shape. We recommend that you adopt a weekly exercise regime building up to departure. Regular hiking in hill country is the best preparation for a trip like this but if this is not possible, jogging, squash, swimming etc are all good for building up cardio-vascular fitness and stamina.
Know before you go
As a reputable tour operator, KE supports the British Foreign & Commonwealth Offices 'Know before you go' campaign to enable British citizens to prepare for their journeys overseas, and we recommend that all KE travellers take a look at the FCO Travel Advice for their chosen destination on the official FCO website: www.fco.gov.uk. North Americans can also check out the U.S. Department of State website: www.travel.state.gov for essential travel advice and tips.
KE treat the safety and security of all clients as the most important aspect of any trip we organise. We would not run any trip that we did not consider reasonably safe. Should the FCO advise against travel for any reason, we will contact everyone booked to travel to discuss the situation. We receive regular updates direct from the FCO and are in constant touch with our contacts on the ground. If you have any questions about government travel advice, please call our office.
In Almaty it can be hot during the day - above 30 degrees centigrade. Once we start trekking, however, we will already be close to 3000 metres and the daytime maximum temperatures will be cooler at around 20 degrees centigrade. Night-time temperatures at the South Inylchek Basecamp will fall to freezing point or even a little below. The Tien Shan Mountains usually experience excellent weather throughout the summer, with hot days, clear skies and little rain or snow. However, weather in mountainous areas is notoriously difficult to predict and short-lived storms can occur at any time of the year. In short, you need to be prepared for everything!

An avid bird lover in Chennai feeds hundreds of parrots who visit him in the morning and evening despite the hustle and bustle of the city life.
Not just parrots, but other birds, too, may abandon Chennai if immediate steps are not taken to control the increasing noise pollution in the city.
Bird population has dwindled in recent years due to an unremitting increase in noise pollution.
But despite this scenario, there is heartening news as Sekar, a bird lover, on Tuesday (October 01), said that he feeds nearly five to six hundred parrots every day.
"In the beginning only two parrots used to come to this place and this continued for two years, but after that, these two became four, four became eight and eight became ten and the number went on increasing and today more than 500-600 parrots come here daily. The arrangement of more than 44 lbs. of grains daily has become a challenging task for me. I feed them 22 lbs. of grains in the morning and the same amount in the evening."
Spotting parrots had become a rare sight for the residents of the city, but now hundreds of them visit twice a day for food.
Sekar, said that the birds regularly visit the place even after so much of noise pollution.
"The most astonishing thing about these parrots is that even after so much noise pollution and disturbances from various sources, this being the heart of the city with busy road junctions, these birds regularly visit here and if there is a loud noise, all these birds fly away and will sit on a tree and come back after some time."
Sekar scatters approximately 44 lbs. of rice everyday apart from millet, maize and ragi. He also takes care of their water.
Not only the regular visitor parrots, but crows and sparrows also visit the house.
For more than 20 years, the avid bird- lover and enthusiast is silently feeding the birds with an aim to also build a strong permanent shelter for them.

SANTA CLARA -- More so than he is at most of his media sessions, 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh was in an expansive mood Monday. He even made a self-deprecating joke. A reporter wondered if Harbaugh knew that back in his NFL playing days, he had become the first sack victim of Ray Lewis, Baltimore's retiring All-Pro linebacker.
"Yeah, I did know that," Harbaugh said. "My dad told me."
Pause for comic timing.
"My legend grows," Harbaugh said.
This brought laughter and a follow-up question: Did he remember that historic sack?
"No," Harbaugh said, then grinned. "In 1996? I've forgotten half my life."
Which is definitely not true. Harbaugh remembers almost everything. And he always knows much more than he lets on. Yet because of his often-disobliging approach to news conferences, there's an impression that he is some sort of rockheaded and supercilious clod.
He isn't. All right, so he can be rockheaded about certain things. But mainly and plainly, Harbaugh is a guy who wants to win football games and fails to see the point in wasting time on anything that does not lead to winning football games.
That probably describes most NFL head coaches. Harbaugh is just more up front about it than most. And he definitely understands that this week, building to Saturday's playoff game with Green Bay, is a legacy-making week for him and his team.
By the time the game ends, we will conclusively discover if Harbaugh's big choice to switch quarterbacks in midseason from Alex Smith to Colin Kaepernick truly was the right move. We will definitively learn if it was a smart roll of the dice for Harbaugh to sign aging wide receiver Randy Moss. We will see if the decision was correct to make no placekicking switch a month ago when David Akers was so obviously struggling, instead of delaying that potential risky move until now.
Harbaugh gets it, though. He knows that if the 49ers lose Saturday, fans will easily forget the good stuff that unfurled over the past four months, one of the more fascinating regular seasons in franchise memory. It definitely was not the joy ride of 2011, when Harbaugh swept in as a rookie NFL coach and surprised the entire league by reorienting the 49ers culture and rebooting the 49ers offense while producing a 13-3 record and a trip to the NFC title game.
This 2012 regular season, with its 11-4-1 record, was far more volatile, from an opening day adrenaline rush in Green Bay ... to a thud loss in Minnesota ... to the failure to win three straight games at any point ... to the bold quarterback switch ... to the strange tie with St. Louis ... to the epic Monday night trouncing of the Bears ... to the glory in New England followed by the ignominy in Seattle.
"I wouldn't really compare it to last year," Harbaugh acknowledged, "other than to say every week has felt like a football fight. That's been the same."
And, yes, it has had a physical effect on him. One day last week -- the 49ers' bye week -- Harbaugh was in a relatively relaxed mood, sitting on an equipment table in the locker room at the team's training facility. Someone remarked on his still-strong throwing arm, which he airs out in practice or pregame warm-ups, and then complimented Harbaugh for being in such good shape.
To the contrary, Harbaugh said. His body has never felt so nonrobust. He hates that he hasn't been able to maintain better overall fitness. He said the "stress" and the time-consuming nature of his job have made it more difficult to do so. It was a rare candid moment from someone who doesn't usually open the door about his inner thoughts.
Also, lest we forget, Harbaugh did have a medical hiccup with an irregular heartbeat less than two months ago. He returned to the job quickly after undergoing what was termed a "minor procedure." Harbaugh said he underwent a "cardiovert." You might want to do an Internet search on that term. The procedure's description does not sound minor. It involves strong drugs and electric shocks.
None of that has stopped Harbaugh from approaching this postseason with (you guessed it) enthusiasm unknown to mankind. And while it is difficult to imagine his outward self-confidence ever wobbling, Harbaugh has spoken several times after losses this season about going back and re-evaluating philosophies and strategies.
On some level, then, Harbaugh must be wondering along with the rest of us whether the critical choices he made from September through December will play out in the best possible way during January. As his heart issue proves, the man is human and vulnerable.
Not that he would ever own up to that publicly. Harbaugh's media sessions will continue to be Theatre Of The Opaque. Monday, he spoke about how Kaepernick has improved steadily throughout the season, although his worst game happened barely two weeks ago and he finished the season with a worse passer rating (98.3) than the man he replaced, Smith (104.1). On another matter, Harbaugh said it was possible both Akers and his potential kicking replacement, Billy Cundiff, could dress for Saturday's game. Uh, right.
Tony La Russa, the former A's and Cardinals manager, was interviewed recently about Harbaugh by staff writer Cam Inman. Harbaugh and La Russa are friends. And La Russa seems to get a kick out of Harbaugh's method of, ahem, public relations.
"I love the way he does press conferences," La Russa said. "He's not there for the fans to say, 'Oh, what a great personality.' He's there for his players to say, 'I trust that guy and he's there for us.' ... I really admire him.''
Followers of the 49ers generally do the same. However, for any NFL coach, admiration can be fleeting. Harbaugh's legend will grow again over the next few weeks. But which way?

Lady Bird Johnson
Beyond the Gowns
Thursday, May 9, 2013
6:30pm @ Plaza Branch
Over nearly two decades Lady Bird Johnson recorded 47 oral history interviews with historian Michael Gillette and his colleagues at the Lyndon B. Johnson Presidential Library. Now Gillette details Johnson's stories of marriage to a powerful man, of creating a media empire, and of encounters with first ladies like Edith Bolling Wilson, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Bess Truman.
Gillette is the former director of the LBJ Presidential Library's oral history program and editor of Lady Bird Johnson: An Oral History.
This series is made possible by Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation Legacy Fund grants to the Kansas City Public Library and the Truman Library Institute. Co-sponsored by KCUR's Up to Date.
