Calvary Baptist Church in Waco, Texas has named Lawrenceburg native Mary Alice Birdwhistell as its senior pastor, according to a news release.
Birdwhistell, who has been associate pastor at the church since 2013, will begin her new role on July 10.
American Legion Post 34 held its annual Easter egg hunt Sunday April 9 at 1 p.m. There were 12,000 eggs hidden, and a raffle for age specific prize baskets
Summer's approach means many things in Lawrenceburg, including a barrage of fireworks in the months before and after the Fourth of July.
During Monday's city council meeting, resident Carol Witthaus asked the council at least limit the time fireworks can be discharged in the city.
"I moved here from Indianapolis and love Lawrenceburg, with one exception," she said. "Fireworks on the Fourth of July."
Splash park to become
reality this summer
The city will receive long-promised federal grant funds sometime this summer to build the splash park if approved two years ago.
The city is currently in the bidding process for the splash park, which is expected to feature a variety of water items in the city's park, located near American Legion Post 34 on Broadway.
City officials said they hope to get the park up and running later this summer.
By George, he's back
A Saturday full of local art talent is on tap for this weekend, according to resident artist Brenda Gardner.
On April 15 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m the Frame Clinic and Art Alley, located at 100 W. Court St., Lawrenceburg, will host its second annual spring fling event benefiting the Anderson County Art Council.
There will be art demonstrations, painters, photographers, pottery, glass art, jewelry and more.
The new Bojangles' restaurant under construction next to Walmart is scheduled to open in May, the restaurant's owners announced.
Located at 1028 U.S. 127 North, the restaurant known for its chicken and biscuits will be 3,800 square feet and seat 70 guests, according to a news release.
Its design will feature a "Biscuit Theater," allowing customers to view biscuits being made from scratch every 20 minutes, according to a news release.
The annual community Easter egg hunt is scheduled for 1 p.m. Sunday, April 9 at the American Legion, 725 W. Broadway.
The hunt is open for children ages 1 through 12 and includes more than 12,000 eggs, organizers said, including prize and money eggs.
The event includes free photos with Mr. and Mrs. Bunny or Chocolate Bunny, along with free drinks, organizers said.
A rain date has been scheduled for April 15.
The event is sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary, the city of Lawrenceburg and the Anderson County Fiscal Court.
The Anderson County Sportsman's Club held its annual Turkey Hunt Youth Program last weekend.
The program is designed for the youth of the Anderson County area who do not have property to hunt on, do not have an experienced person to take them or have never hunted.
Youth attend a hunter education class before the hunt and are trained to handle and use firearms safely. For more information regarding the Youth Hunt Program, contact Conservation Officer David Goodlett at 502-604-3731 or email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Anderson Community Education will thank its volunteers during an appreciation luncheon scheduled for April 11 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Kellar Casciola and the praise team from Christian Academy of Lawrenceburg will provide entertainment. The lunch will be donated by Walmart, the Adult Learning Center and Anderson Senior Center.

Chris Hart recovered a fumble by Arizona quarterback Brandon Dawkins at Utah's 20-yard line with 2:33 left, preserving the 23rd-ranked Utes' 30-24 victory Friday night in Tucson, Ariz., in the Pac-12 Conference opener for both schools.
Utah (4-0) led throughout and was up 30-17 late in the fourth quarter, but Dawkins threw a 30-yard TD pass to Tony Ellison with 2:44 left, cutting the lead to six points. The subsequent onside kick attempt bounced downfield, where Arizona's Shawn Poindexter recovered at the Utes' 35.
On the next play, Dawkins ran 15 yards to the 20 but fumbled and Hart recovered.
The Wildcats (2-2) committed five turnovers, including Dawkins having three...

LeBron James isn't the only one taking his talents to Ohio.
On the same day that the star basketball player announced his return to the team that drafted him, Atlanta-based SweetWater Brewing Co. unveiled its plans to launch new distribution in Ohio later this summer.
Beginning in September, SweetWater's beers will be available in Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus, Toledo, Youngstown, Canton, and, yes, Cleveland, home of the NBA's Cavaliers, and Akron, hometown of King James himself.
"While on a recent tour through Ohio, I could feel the energy and excitement throughout the state surrounding craft beer," said Jeff Chassner, director of new market business development at the brewery, in a news release.
The company is still in the process of selecting its wholesalers throughout the state.
A full release is below.
ATLANTA — SweetWater Brewing Company is movin' and shakin' with plans to launch brews in the Buckeye State, its northern-most distribution point to date, late this summer. Following the brewery's recent $19 million expansion, SweetWater plans to bring its lip-smackin' lineup to Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus, Cleveland, Toledo, Akron, Youngstown, and Canton starting this September.
SweetWater expanded brewing, packaging and shipping operations in 2012, quadrupling its overall capacity. In early 2013, the brewery announced plans to flow into three new states for the first time since 2008, including Kentucky, Louisiana and Virginia.
SweetWater currently distributes its notoriously hoppy and aggressive ales throughout a total of nine U.S. states across the Southeast. The distribution extension into Ohio, along with movement into Mississippi and Texas also this year, will bring SweetWater's availability to 12 total states by the end of 2014.
Although decisions on distribution partners for the markets are still being confirmed, Ohio locals can look forward to spotting the brewery's iconic rainbow trout tap handles and packaging throughout the area in upcoming months, along with local launch events and brand details to come.
"While on a recent tour through Ohio, I could feel the energy and excitement throughout the state surrounding craft beer," said Jeff Chassner, director of new market business development at SweetWater Brewing Company. "We feel now is the perfect time for us to tell our story and bring our award-winning brands to the Buckeye State to further complement their already established craft lineup."
To keep up-to-speed on SweetWater's launch into the Ohio area, follow SweetWater's Ohio Facebook page at www.facebook.com/SWHeadyPeddlersOH or on Twitter at @SweetWaterOH. To learn more about SweetWater Brewing Company and its full lineup, visit www.sweetwaterbrew.com.
Living by the motto "Don't float the mainstream," SweetWater Brewery has been blazing its own path in craft beer throughout the Southeast since its inception in 1997. With a brewer calling the shots, quality of beer—and life—are always most important in crafting a lineup of lip-smackin' brews. Widely known for its flagship 420 Extra Pale Ale and recent Great American Beer Fest gold medal winner LowRYEder IPA, SweetWater also serves up an ever-evolving Catch & Release seasonal lineup of brews and an off-beat, one-off Dank Tank series. SweetWater invites folks to join them for tours and tastings of their Atlanta brewery every Wednesday through Sunday. Visit www.sweetwaterbrew.com for more info about SweetWater, or hang out with your social thang out by following SweetWater on Twitter/Instagram @sweetwaterbrew, or on Facebook at facebook.com/sweetwaterbrew. And always remember; drink 'em if you got 'em!

Live Commentary
FULL TIME IN MILAN. Italy remain top of World Cup Qualifying Group B after a relatively comfortable 3-1 victory over Denmark. Goals in the first half from Ricardo Montolivo and Danielle De Rossi and a Mario Balotelli strike cancel out William Kvist's goal as Cesare Prandelli's men extend unbeaten run in the group. Thank you for joining us on Goal.com! I'm Martin Macdonald, see you next time!
90'Yellow Card Morgan De Sanctis
90'Simon Kjaer attempts the spectacular from distance but De Sanctis makes an easy save. Not a lot of added on time. Italy running down the clock now.
89'SubstitutionMario Balotelli Mattia Destro
88'Cesare Prandelli cleverly gives Mario Balotelli an ego boost by bringing the Italian off for Mattia Destro. The Manchester City player comes off to rapturous applause from the home crowd. He has been excellent tonight.
86'SubstitutionRiccardo Montolivo Emanuele Giaccherini
86'A chance for Denmark to give the game a grandstand finish now with a free kick opportunity just outside the box. Eriksen steps up an smashes the ball towards goal but the Italian wall remains strong to block the attempt.
84'Italy looking incredibly comfortable in the closing stages here. The Denmark heads went straight down as soon as Balotelli struck for the third goal and the visitors haven't really recovered for the rest of the second half.
83'SubstitutionMichael Krohn-Dehli Jakob Poulsen
82'Montolivo attempts to double his tally for the night with a drilled shot at goal from the edge of the box. Andersen gets his body behind the ball and blocks the shot and the Danish defence clear the loose ball to safety.
80'Yellow Card Nicklas Bendtner
80'Italian football expert Kris Voakes gives us his opinion on the performance of Bendtner this evening: The booking of Nicklas Bendtner earned a fair amount of applause for the referee! The big striker has been pulled up for pushing on a fair number of occasions now, though he and his team-mates seem increasingly baffled with each free-kick that goes against him!
78'A cross comes in from the left and Bendtner and Chiellini and grappling to meet the ball inside the area but the referee eventually gives a free kick to Italy. A yellow card is issued to the on-loan Arsenal man for dissent.
76'Yellow Card Nikolai Stokholm
76'Stokholm whips a fantastic cross into the box from the left-hand side but it evades all defenders and there is no takers for Denmark at the back post. The visitors will need to up the tempo for the remaining minutes.
74'SubstitutionClaudio Marchisio Antonio Candreva
74'Italy make their first change of the match as Claudio Marchisio comes off for Antonio Candreva. The Lazio man will slot in just behind Mario Balotelli.
72'SubstitutionM. Silberbauer K. Lorentzen
72'The Danes look slightly out of ideas now. Bendtner was a danger in the first half but his threat has been negated well by the Italian defence in the second period so far.
70'Italian football expert Kris Voakes gives us an update on the atmosphere inside San Siro: There's a certain sense of calm around the place once more since Balotelli's goal, with Italy noticeably puffing out their chests a bit further with a two-goal lead now in their favour. The fans are loving the Andrea Pirlo masterclass right now!
68'Rommedahl showing signs of frustration now after needlessly bringing down Balzaretti when the Italian was facing his own goal. Italy will take that.
66'Christian Eriksen finds space on the edge of the area and has a crack at goal from 20 yards but the shot sails over the crossbar and does not give De Sanctis a problem. You would think after the Italian goalkeeper's slightly shaky first half that Denmark would be spraying shots on goal, but it hasn't happened.
64'Italy have began to assert their dominance in possession again in the last five minutes or so. Denmark are the ones chasing the ball but the hosts are in no rush to find the third goal. A two goal cushion may be enough for them to shut up shop.
62'Andrea Pirlo has carried on his imperious form from the European Championships in this World Cup Qualifying campaign. He has been superb again tonight in his passing and vision, summed up by his delightful pass for Balotelli's goal.
60'SubstitutionWilliam Kvist Jörgensen Thomas Kahlenberg
60'Well Daniel Agger is a lucky, lucky man!! Balotelli clips the ball beyond him and drives through on goal but the Liverpool man goes down softly as the Italian runs by him. He did have a had slightly on his shoulder but not enough to make him go down.
58'Soft penalty shout for Denmark after Michael Krohn-Deli twists and turns on the left before hitting a deflected cross into the box. Bendtner goes down under the attention of Barzagli but the referee rightly gives a goal kick to Italy.
56'That was a bit of a smash and grab from Italy there as Denmark had been dominant after the sending off. This games is by no means over, however.
54'Assist Andrea Pirlo
54'Goal Mario Balotelli
GOOOOOAAAAAAL FOR ITALY!! Well that shows you what I know really! Balotelli scores!! The Italian latches on to a fantastic ball over the top from Pirlo and anticipates Andersen running out before cushioning the ball past the Denmark goalkeeper into the net!! Very poor goalkeeping!
52'Yellow Card William Kvist Jörgensen
51'Balotelli doing his best in his now role as the lone striker. Montolivo will provide support from central areas but the Manchester City man is in danger of being isolated up top.
49'Denmark already looking slightly more dominant in possession now that they have the man advantage. Erkisen beginning to pull the strings in the centre of midfield.
48'Kris Voakes gives us this thoughts on that controversial sending off: Well the San Siro crowd has been left stunned by the happenings either side of half-time. From 2-0 up and cruising, Italy are now down to 10 men and protecting only a one-goal lead. There is bound to be a hot reception every time Stokholm gets involved in play from here on in.
47'The worst possible start for Cesare Prandelli's side. The Danes have already proved tonight that they are a big threat, but they will have the bit between their teeth now that they are a man up. Lets see how Italy respond.
46'Red Card D. Osvaldo
46'Early drama! Pablo Osvaldo is sent off!!! Stockholm goes down innocuously in the middle of the park and the referee shows the Roma striker the red card! An arm did come up but that looks harsh!
HALF TIME. Italy looked to be heading into the break comfortably thanks to goals from Montolivo and De Rossi but a goal in first-half injury time from William Kvist has made the next 45 minutes very interesting indeed. Three points in World Cup Qualifying Group B up for grabs, join us in 15 minutes for the second half!
45'Goal William Kvist Jörgensen
GOOOOOOOOAAAAAL FOR DENMARK!! The Danes silence San Siro!! Jacobsen gets down the right wing again and stands up a cross to the edge of the box for Kvist who shows brilliant composure to volley the ball with a side-foot into the bottom corner from 18 yards! 2-1!
43'Dennis Rommedahl shows his superb speed by running beyond the Italian defence in the inside right channel. He latches on to a pass over the top and attempts a half-volley at goal but he was off balance and end up slicing the ball wide.
41'Balotelli has mostly played on the shoulder of the last Danish defender for the majority of the first half. He'll need to time his runs better though as he has been caught off side a number of times in the first 45.
39'Yellow Card Daniele De Rossi
39'Daniele De Rossi earn a well deserved booking after Bendtner stole possession deep inside his own half and went on a powerful run down the left-hand side. The Roma man took one for the team and grabbed a handful of the Dane's strip.
38'Italian football expert Kris Voakes, from San Siro, gives us his thoughts on this suckerpunch by Italy: The Danish supporters appear stunned, with their side having been more than worthy of their part in a stalemate just five minutes ago. Now, many of upped sticks and gone for an early half-time break. A devastating few minutes in the course of this match.
37'Assist Andrea Pirlo
37'Goal Daniele De Rossi
GOOOOOAAAAAAL FOR ITALY!!! Two goals within five minutes!! Andrea Pirlo delightfully wrong foots Stokholm on the right wing and dinks an inch-perfect cross into the box for De Rossi who powers a header down into the net!! 2-0 Italy!!
35'Balotelli shows of his power again as he turns and drives towards goal 25 yards out but earns a free kick in a dangerous area. Great chance for a shot on goal here.
33'Goal Riccardo Montolivo
GOOOOOAAAAAAL FOR ITALY!!!! What a finish!!! Italy counterattack down the left-hand side and the ball is played into the feet of Balotelli who flicks the ball into the path of Montolivo, who lashes the ball into the bottom left corner with a devastating finish! 1-0 Italy!
31'Save from De Sanctis!!! William Kvist breaks the Italian offside trap and picks up the ball in the inside left channel before smashing a shot towards the near post but the Italy goalkeeper is there to save with his knees!
30'Bendtner is winning everything in the air tonight. He was bullied Chiellini and Barzagli at times in the match. He must have been studying them during Juventus training sessions recently!
27'Denmark had the best of the opening play but Italy have just grew into the match as the game has went on. Montolivo and Pirlo are starting to see a lot more of the ball and it is benefiting the hosts massively.
25'Nicolai Stokholm has certainly put himself about so far in the match. He is not allowing De Rossi or Balotelli any time on the ball but he has committed a few fouls. He'll need to be careful that the wily duo don't earn him a yellow card.
23'Some vital points up for grabs tonight, but there is still time to appreciate the lighter side of life. Kris Voakes gives us an update on some comedy in the dugout: Fun moment in the Italy technical area! Cesare Prandelli turns to go back into the dugout but bobs his head down far too early, and ends up walking along with his head bowed for two or three steps. Straight out of the Ministry of Silly Walks, that one!
21'Osvaldo passes up a great chance!! Abate gets to the byline and whips an excellent cross to the back post for the Roma man, but as he is retreating when he meets the ball he struggles to get meaningful contact, and sends his header wide!
19'Kris Voakes gives us his opinion on that chance, it appears the Italian fans are raising their voices: Finally, the home fans are beginning to sing for their side, as Balotelli's cutback for Marchisio fashions Italy's first chance. Both side already have their full complement of three subs warming up, but it's hard to believe there'll be any tactical changes soon, even though this one has started slowly.
18'WHAT A CLEARANCE FROM KJAER!!!! Balotelli cuts the ball to the edge of the box for Claudio Marchisio whips a cracking shot towards the top corner but the Danish defender is there to clear with a fantastic header! Fantastic defending!
17'Fantastic speed and strength from Balotelli wins a free kick in a great position down the right-hand side for Italy. Lets see if they can give their fans something to cheer about.
15'Italian football expert Kris Voakes gives us his thoughts on the start of the Danes: The 3,000 or so Danes that are filling the top tier of the Curva Sud raise their voices, as they becoming bouyant off the back of that chance. How vociferous their fans becoming will surely largely depend on how often their side can put Morgan De Sanctis under similar pressure to that.
13'Denmark probing for the opening goal here!!! Its all very scrappy inside the area with a couple of Danish shots being blocked near the penalty spot. It ends up being Balotelli who takes charge by tracking back and smashing the ball up the park! The visitors have started strong!
11'Save from De Sanctis!! That was farely dodgy goalkeeping from the Italian!! Eriksen drives a shot at goal from the right hand side that had plenty of power behind it, but was very central. De Sanctis struggles with the flight of the ball before tipping over!
9'Balzaretti goes on a typical marauding run down the left-hand side and attempts to pick out Balotelli inside the area but a vital interception from Jaobsen sees the ball run safely into the hands of Andersen in the Denmark goal.
7'Some unsure defending from Italy give Denmark the chance to rob possession just on the edge of the box. The ball finds its way to Bendtner but his clipped pass through the middle is blocked by Chiellini and Pirlo tidies up.
5'Montolivo steals the ball in midfield and uses the space he has to test the gloves of Andersen with a rasper of a shot from range. The Denmark goalkeeper easily gathers then punts the ball out the park as De Rossi is currently down injured.
4'Italian football expert Kris Voakes gives us his thoughts on the opening stages: You've got to love when a player listens to what Mario Balotelli has to say, nods, puts up a hand and walks away... You've got to believe Claudio Marchisio paid little attention to his team-mate's advice in back play there! Meanwhile, Italy fans are still flooding into the ground... There are bound to me more latecomers to come too.
3'Bendtner misses an early opportunity!!! He should have done a lot better than that!! Jacobsen drives down the right-hand side and stand a perfect cross to the edge of the box and the Juventus man powers a header at goal but it goes wide of the post!
If Nicklas Bendtner scores tonight, he will become Denmark's 10th highest goalscorer.
Following his goal against Armenia, Pablo Osvaldo has scored six goals in six games for club and country this season.
Some striker stats now.
The last meeting between these sides in 2004 ended in a 0-0 draw. Let us hope we don't see that tonight!
Lets get some some stats in before kick off.
Italian football expert Kris Voakes, from San Siro, gives us his pre-match musings: The newspapers talked of just 35,000 tickets sold thanks in part to horrific rain yesterday keeping fans from venturing out onto the streets of Milan for tickets. And by the massive queues still apparent outside just an hour before kick-off, it certainly appears that many supporters waited until the very last minute before deciding to head here for the match. And it's a big game too. Italy may have gone unbeaten so far in Group B, giving them a two-point lead over Bulgaria, but they have not been without their problems. A victory tonight is important, but almost as vital would be a convincing performance. If Cesare Prandelli's men can overcome the loss of Gianluigi Buffon, then they should do ok. He's certainly picked a big, strong line-up.
This is the starting XI of Denmark: Andersen; Jacobsen, Kjaer, Agger, Poulsen; Kvist, Eriksen, Stokholm; Rommedahl, Bendtner, Krohn-Dehli.
This is how Italy will be lining up tonight: De Sanctis; Abate, Barzagli, Chiellini, Balzaretti; De Rossi, Pirlo, Marchisio; Montolivo; Balotelli, Osvaldo.
Italy currently lie first place in Group B with seven points taken from three matches. Denmark are fifth in the qualifying group with two points taken from two matches. An unbeaten, albeit slightly disappointing start from the Danes.
I'm Martin Macdonald, and I'll be taking you through the action this evening!
Good evening folks! Welcome to Goal.com's LIVE coverage of the 2014 World Cup Qualifying Group B match between Italy and Denmark at San Siro in Milan!

CBC: Steven & Chris and The Dragon's Den, eh?
Girl, you don't know what you're missing if you're not Canadian or lucky enough to have CBC on your cable TV like I do. Though, I'll probably lose it when I switch from lying assh@les Comcast to Direct TV any minute! Anyway, while I still have CBC, I'm enjoying a couple of shows that just aren't on American TV, unfortunately. STEVEN & CHRIS is a daytime talk show featuring 2 openly (unquestionably) gay hosts. They even pronounce the name of the show like Kelly (from "Shoes") would pronounce "betch": STEVEN & CRESSSS. Luckily, you can watch clips and whole episodes online on the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Company) web site. The other show I love is DRAGON'S DEN. There's a British version too on BBC America which I haven't seen yet (but will when I get Direct TV!) Canadian entrepreneurs pitch their crazy half-baked ideas to a panel of Canada's most successful and wealthy businesspeople. Of course, some of the ideas are pretty good and the dragon's invest their own money in the project. The show also has all sorts of smart tie-ins like voting for your favorite crazy idea that didn't make it. America had a show kinda like this on ABC that Simon Cowell co-produced, but it was poorly scheduled and I only watched it once. DRAGON'S DEN on CBC has a really wonderful Canadian quality to it. They're not as bitchy as the Brits and they're not condesending like Americans. It's a perfect balance for a reality show. In fact, I would say that most Canadian "reality" TV comes much closer to fine documentary film making rather than purulent realityshow flotsam and jetsom.

Review for Boch Collision
Maryanna B. on 11/22/2015
Maryanna said the person that had prepared her estimate at this business was very clear and specific with what was going to be done with her vehicle. They even coordinated with her insurance company and the rental agency. They were very flexible and patient with her. Michelle, an employee at this business, was wonderful and she was grateful for the repairs they made on her vehicle.

2017 Chevy Camaro – Naperville, IL
With the 2017 Chevy Camaro in Naperville, IL, you're getting the best of the best when it comes to old-fashioned muscle, combined with modern looks and performance. While other "muscle" cars like Ford Mustangs are now using turbos (EcoBoost) for their primary sources of power, the Camaro is still using naturally aspirated engines to elicit that old-school feel when you step on the throttle. In fact, Chevy is focusing on new performance technology to help give the brand an edge over the competition. Somehow, the company has managed to perfectly pair the two together like fine cheese and wine. Another noteworthy portion of mixing tradition with modern demands can be found in the design, which retains that well-loved muscle car shape, but has been calibrated for enhanced aerodynamics, making it more performance-focused than ever before. The looks? A delight for both new and old (ahem, vintage) hot-rod fans alike.
If it's the perfect modern-day muscle car you're after, the 2017 Camaro is for you.
Starting At
Max Horsepower
V8 engine
Powerful Engines
While Chevy isn't relying on turbos for the 2017 Camaro's performance, the base 2.0-liter engine still comes with a turbo to give it that extra oomph needed to keep up with the competition. But don't worry, the V6 and V8 in the more performance-oriented trims still provide that raw and familiar power thanks to natural aspiration.
2.0-liter Turbo
The base trim engine is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. This standard engine option lands you 275 horsepower and 295 lb.-ft. of torque. For some, that's more than enough power; others might crave more. Regardless, a Camaro with this engine will return 22 mpg city/31 mpg highway with an automatic transmission. One mpg less on each end when equipped with the manual variant.
Powered by this engine, the 2017 Camaro gets a 0 to 60 mph time of 5.4 seconds (manual) and 5.5 seconds (automatic). Not too shabby for a base-trim vehicle in this class.
3.6-liter V6
Looking for a bit more power? Grab the optional 3.6-liter V6, capable of producing 335 horsepower and 284 lb.-ft. of torque. The 3.6-liter benefits from direct injection, along with VVT (variable valve timing), to help optimize performance. For a peak 0 to 60 mph time of 5.1 seconds, you'll want to pair this engine to the optional 8-speed automatic. With the standard manual engine, the 2017 Camaro does the 0 to 60 mph dash in 5.2 seconds, barely affecting its performance.
As far as fuel-efficiency goes, a V6-powered Camaro gets 19 mpg city/28 mpg highway (automatic), and 18 mpg city/27 mpg highway from the manual setup.
6.2-liter V8
If you're looking for the maximum amount of power offered by the 2017 Camaro, it's found in the 6.2-liter V8. This engine equips the 1SS and 2SS models, and produces a massive 455 horsepower and 455 lb.-ft. of torque. Just like the other engines and corresponding trim levels, a manual transmission comes standard, with an eight-speed automatic the optional choice. Fuel economy (expectedly) drops, and the Camaro gets 17 mpg city/28 mpg highway when mated to the automatic transmission, and 16 mpg city/25 mpg highway courtesy of the manual.
The 0 to 60 mph time? An astounding four seconds flat (4.3-seconds with the manual).
Performance Technology
While the 2017 Camaro does have your typical Chevrolet technology (MyLink, touchscreen, smartphone capability, etc.) it also provides something more. It's loaded with performance technology, that truly takes the ride and experience of driving the Camaro to entirely new heights. And the best part is, not all of this refined technology is dedicated to increasing speed.
Active Fuel Management
While all three engines have direct-injection, active fuel management is found on both the V6 and V8 engines. AFM will deactivate cylinders when they aren't needed, such as during highway cruises or downhill descents, which means less fuel is burned.
Drive Modes
However, it does have performance technology for those looking to step-up their game. The Camaro features four different, selectable driving modes: Tour, Sport, Snow/Ice, and Track (on SS models). Selecting one of these modes helps the 2017 Camaro automatically tailor different aspects of the drive, like the shift/throttle response, traction, steering wheel sensitivity, and even ride stiffness. For added fun, it will even change the lighting ambiance found in the cockpit.
Magnetic Ride Control
Magnetic Ride Control is also found on the SS, and is a real-time dampening system. This means it reads the road every millisecond using radar sensors and calibrates the stiffness of the suspension, accordingly. With magnetic ride control, you're guaranteed a smooth ride on any surface.
Dual-Mode Exhaust
Chevy even made sure to give the dual-mode exhaust a place in this updated suite of performance technology. Drivers can dial-in a more aggressive sound using the driver mode control, by selecting a unique resonance for each of the four modes. While that might not improve performance, it's still a nice touch.
A Perfected Design
From both an aesthetic and engineering perspective, the design of the 2017 Camaro has been fine-tuned to provide the best looks and performance to date. Especially compared to the previous generation's model, which was a lot heavier.
Piggybacking on the heavier, yet successful design of the 2016 model, Chevy decided to leave the stylings of its new Camaro relatively unchanged. Compared to the previous generation, this sixth-gen Camaro is built around a smaller and lighter architecture. Meaning it naturally reduces weight, boosting both performance and fuel-efficiency. Chevy also focused on dialing in the aerodynamics during wind tunnel testing. Hours upon hours went into testing the sixth-gen Camaro's design, with every detail accounted for. Whether it's the wider opening and precise draft angle of the grille, the roof's "reverse Mohawk" channel, or even the available lift-reducing stanchion spoiler, it's all been tested and the results prove that this is the most aerodynamic and fine-tuned Camaro to date.
Even though the design was tested in a wind tunnel for peak performance, Chevy still didn't forget about one of the most important aspects of a performance sedan: the looks. Has it slimmed down? Yes, but Chevy made sure that the alterations made to the design still remain true to what modern-day muscle should look like.
A sleek and angular grille, raised hood, and athletic rear quarter panels are all present. Chiseled slabs of muscle can also be found running across the top, on the back, and along the sides of the vehicle. Even the back of the mirrors are angled in such a way to compliment the overall theme. Lean headlights and a smaller grille give it an intimidating look from the front, and the larger back-end gives it an aggressive and "jacked-up" stance.

Inspired by Elsie's post over on A Beautiful Mess, I decided that on January 1, 2013 I would start a 365-day photo challenge. I'm 31 days into my Home 365 project and wanted to share my month in review with you!
I'll admit, January has been a stressful month. With the start of a new year, opening up shop, my birthday, a week+ of cold and rainy weather, and the stress of searching for a job, I'll be glad when the clock strikes midnight tonight.
How was your first month of 2013?

Page Image? I thought maybe Wesker and Birkin from Resident Evil perhaps? They're pretty well known.

You can propose one in Image Picking, but keep in mind that the threshold of "well known enough" is extremely tall and Resident Evil not nearly well-known enough.

Alexandria was never a patient woman. No matter the situation she never wanted to be kept waiting. Especially when something concerned her precious little girl, Maria. Her little girl was late coming out of school, she had watched the other children stream out for a good ten minutes now. Not even the crisp spring air that caressed her body could assuage her right now. Whoever or whatever was keeping her little girl was going to face hell. She waited for a few more minutes before walking up to the front door, ready to march in and drag Maria out herself. She swung the door inward and was met with a small force colliding with her midsection alongside a muffled yelp.
Alex looked down and was met with the sight of curly onyx locks. Chocolate eyes looked up at her accompanied by a set of white teeth with a tooth missing up front. She knelt down and hugged her daughter.
"Hi Mommy!"
"Hey there baby. You know better than to keep me waiting like that." She took her daughter's hand and walked her to the car. Once Maria was safely in her seat in the back and buckled in Alex walked around to the driver's side and climbed into the candy red minivan. She started the car and looked at her daughter through the rearview mirror. "What kept you so long, baby?"
"I got in a fight with Jeff Thomas and Ms. Kanker was asking me a bunch of questions." Maria looked down at her kicking feet and fiddled with her fingers.
"Maria! What have I told about fighting with people?"
"He started it! He was saying mean things about you and Daddy!" Alex sighed and pulled out of the parking lot. It was no surprise that some of the kids had heard the gossip about her long over marriage.
"What kinds of questions did Ms. Kanker ask you?"
"She asked what you and Daddy were like at home. And uh . . . she asked I ever saw you guys drinking. I told her that you drank a lot of water and Daddy and Grandpa had beers when we visited him."
Alex's lip twitched ever so slightly. That bitch had the nerve to think they were some kind of alcoholics. "Is there anything else she asked?"
"Um . . . she asked if Daddy ever hit you before. I told her no but I saw him hit other people lots of times."
"You what? Who have you seen him hitting?"
"Uncle Oscar and some other people at the gym. He lets me watch them box when we go out together."
Alex couldn't believe it. That bastard had been taking their daughter to the gym of all places. As irresponsible as he was, even he shouldn't have been dumb enough to take his daughter with him to box.
"Baby, how often do you and Daddy go to the gym?"
"Every Saturday when I spend the day with him. We have breakfast, and then we go to the gym, and then we go home and he puts on my nice clothes so we can go play poker at Grandpa's. Last week I won a fifty dollar bill, Mommy! Daddy put it up for me and said he'll take me out to spend it this weekend."
To say she was pissed now would be an understatement. Taking Maria with him to the gym was one thing. But to have her gambling late into the night was another level of bad parenting. The rest of the ride home was silent save for the radio playing Maria's favorite Hannah Montana CD as they rode home. When Alex pulled up she noticed the black muscle car in the drive way. She recognized that car, it belonged to her former husband.
Alex could see her ex-husband sitting on the hood of the car. From her position it wasn't difficult to see the white sling on his left arm. Did he get hurt at work? He was a cop after all but this was the first time she saw him with more than a graze from a bullet. Maria hopped out of the car and practically leapt into her father's waiting arms.
"Daddy! You're early!" He hugged her tight smiled at her.
"I know baby, run inside and start packing a bag." Maria nodded and dashed inside, the door was already unlocked. He shouldn't have had a key.
Alex stepped out of the car and walked up to her husband. "What the hell is your problem?" She
poked him in the chest as she spoke. He stood up off his car and took a hold of her hand.
"I need you to go inside and pack a bag too."
"Oh no. I'm not going anywhere until you explain what you've been having our daughter do every weekend." She moved his hand away and placed her own hands on her hips.
"Lexi! Would you listen to me?" She stopped mid-sentence. He never called her Lexi, not unless he was serious about something. She gave him her attention full now. It was only now that she noticed his service pistol was still holstered around his shoulders, his slung hand fiddled with the butt idly. "A cop at the county prison was found inside a cell yesterday. Dead. The cell belonged to Xander."
Another short story for my creative writing class. I'll post more about it later. I'm feeling sick recently.

omg is there a second part there better i wanna know who Xander is and what he did
This was really good, especially considering how short it was. It really conveyed a feeling of who the characters are. Like there's a rich history to them, a good background. Almost like it's part of something... bigger. I don't just mean your cliffhanger ending, but also that there seems to be more before it.
At this stage, it's too early to say what I think of the characters, but I'll give you my basic impressions: The mum, lexi, is a bit overprotective (to say the least). The dad, unnamed(?) is a bit of a cliche stereotype, man's man. And the little girl is sweet and innocent. Makes for a good dynamic.

The adventures of fortune hunter, Nathan Drake continue will thrilling action adventure, a strong story-line and amazing graphics.

Review of "Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (PS3)"
"Uncharted 2 - Charted."
Uncharted 2 from a lot of critical reviews have noted the games excellent graphics, gameplay and longevity. On purchasing the game I remained skeptical about how good it would actually be regarding the fact that whilst I thought the first game was good, it was overrated and I saw it as nothing more than a playstation fanboy's boast due to its exclusivity to the playstation three. However, my cautions about the game were quickly blown out of the water within the first few minutes of gameplay. I can not remember the last time I was so engaged with a game, perhaps going back to my early teens when all I ever did was play games.
My friend suggested the game to me after he said he'd been playing the first game and was really impressed with it. I had played the demo of the first game and whilst I understood that it was a decent game I never bought it and never gave it the time of day. However, I'd been reading great things about the game including Official Playstation Magazine's review placing it as number one PS3 game and praising its graphics and gameplay.
In Uncharted 2 the player takes control of Nathan Drake, a decendant of Francis Drake, an Indiana Jones like adventurer who values historical artifacts. The character is likeable and the game features a twisting plot line. The game centres around Drake going up against a Russian git searching for a place called Shambala. Drake is plunged into an adventure which at times he doesn't think he can continue with. The game focuses heavily on the plot and really pulls you into its depths.
Graphics and Sound
The first thing I really noticed about Uncharted 2 was the excellent presentation, realistic graphics, animation, interactivity and voice acting. At the very start of the game you assume as Drake waking up wounded on a train hanging off the side of a cliff. It is the players responsibility to help Drake get out of this mess. The graphics are very realistic and whilst you are climbing up the train there is a level of detail and interactivity which I have not seen in a game yet. As Drake reaches the snow you will notice it clinging onto his clothing realistically, water effects are excellent as well as explosions. Drake moves realistically and animation is smooth, climbing obstacles recalls Assassins Creed, Prince of Persia and Tomb Raider.
Drake is voiced by Nolan North who appears in many other video games and he fills his role perfectly. The voice acting is all round superb as is the music and sound effects. The music fits in perfectly with the game's setting shifting from action to epic to eerie with a cultural influence. The script of the game engages the player almost as if it was a movie with Drake's cheeky comments every now and again fitting in perfectly with the plot or situation.
Besides from Drake the game features two prime enemies and two female side kicks. At the begining of the game we are introduced to Flynn and Chloe who appear to be the good guys but not all is what it seems. Flynn ends up stabbing Drake in the back and turns out to be working for the Russian guy, Lazarevic. Lazarevic is one bad dude and we see him kill one of his own men ruthlessly and apathetically. You probably won't like him too much either. Chloe shifts sides throughout the game and is occasionally seen as Drake's love interest. We're also introduced to Elena who makes an appearance in the first game as well. Drake also fancies her abit (ooh, scandal!) She turns up with her camera man friend who we get to meet briefly before he is shot in the face by guess who...
Uncharted 2 starts off excellently and it turns out that it has started as it means to go on. The gameplay shifts between exploration and action, recalling the best bits of Prince of Persia, Tomb Raider and Metal Gear Solid (yes, there are sneaky bits too, but this is dependent on the players preference). The player has the option of having hints from the game about where to go next, this is where the main criticism lies. The path through the game leads Drake on a nearly entirely linear adventure not having much choice over the path that is taken. However, this doesn't really seem to matter as the game moves at such a fast pace and the level design is so excellently realised that you can not really fault it. Puzzles are also crafted with care using an ingenious and innovative method of a journal where Drake keeps his findings.
Fighting and Gunplay
Fighting and Gunplay on Uncharted 2, whilst not a huge focus as apparent with the first game is brilliantly paced with an easy to use duck-and-cover system and varied hand-to-hand combat animations which sometimes slow down to make you look extra cool taking out a bad guy in the middle of a gun fight. Weapons are very varied, as you'd expect, ranging from mini guns to crossbows to rocket launchers, focusing on long-range weapons (no sword fights here thank you, this isn't Assassins Creed!). There are stealth kills to keep Drake safe from entering fights which he can not win. When Drake is wounded the screen fades to grey and it is up to the player to keep him out of harms way until the screen goes back to colour.
I picked up Uncharted 2 second hand at an excellent price of £25 on Amazon, considering it is still a new game. There is really no excuse to miss this game if you have a PS3. The game is appealing to anyone over 15, the games age certificate which I think is a relevant classification due to its violence and swearing. Since Naughty Dog originally made child-friendly games such as Crash Bandicoot and Jak and Daxter, this may come as a shock to parents who may have bought the games for their children before. In my opinion, the game is suitable for both genders considering its appeal lies in its adventure rather than any machismo reliance. This isn't Rambo or Die Hard, this is more like Indiana Jones meets Lara Croft with an added sense of humour. This may not sound like an amazing idea for a game but it takes the best things about other games, blends them together and overall makes the PS3's most likeable, engrossing, graphically stunning game yet. This is true next generation gaming, go grab yourself a copy, you will not be disapointed!

What happens if the class 3 dealer goes out of business

What happens if the class 3 dealer goes out of business
Hi guy.
I have been shooting for about 25 years. At one time I had a collection that totaled about 200 guns. I eventually sold everything for personal reasons.
I'm back and I am looking to rebuild my collection. I now live in Texas, which allows machine guns and silencers (I hate the term 'suppressor'), so I've started rebuilding my collection.
I am currently waiting on a number of silencers, an MP5a3, an M16a1 (complete, not ar15), and m16a2.
My question is...what happens if the class III dealer closes his doors, goes out of business?
Technically, the NFA items haven't been transferred, so I don't own the items, the dealer owns them, and is waiting for BATFE approval to transfer them to me.
Granted, I've already paid the two different dealers, but if they go out of business, since they own the guns until the transfer, I am just another creditor of the dealer. I basically have to sue the dealer for return of my money of the items.
Does anyone know of a class III dealer that went out of business? What happened to the NFA items that were waiting for approval?
How about a bankruptcy? Does the trustee take the NFA items? A friend of mine is a bankruptcy lawyer, and he says that the bankruptcy trustee would just take the assets, and I become a general creditor, and I have to get in line behind other creditors. His reasoning is that I don't own the NFA items while I am waiting approval, but rather I have a contract with the dealer that he will transfer the guns/silencers once BATFE issues the stamp. Bankruptcy of the class III dealer would void the contract, and I become a general creditor, no different from any other creditor, who the dealer may owe money to, such as the bank, utility company, unsecured suppliers, etc.
I asked about perfecting a security interest with the NFA items, so that I don't have to share the NFA items with other creditors. He said that you can't do that because I don't currently own the NFA items, and I can't create a security interest in collateral that I do not own.

Raw Trailer (2013)
RAW illuminates the legend of Greta Mueller, who in the 17th Century found her death at the stake! With her last strength she uttered a curse: "Should bring terror upon you my first-born!" - In the same night, she tormented the child who was to be a likeness of the devil, from the lifeless body of the pregnant woman. Three young women took in late summer of 2009 in the woods for the truth about the devil himself and his mother ... this they have probably found. But all trace of the women are still missing.

Pat Toomey on Principles & Values
Republican Jr Senator; previously Representative (PA-15)
After losing to Specter, Toomey became president of the Club for Growth and began to campaign against RINOs (Republicans in Name Only). 6 years later, he announced he was running against Specter again. This time, Specter saw he couldn't beat Toomey as a Republican, so he became a Democrat. He lost the race, anyway.
Sestak's ads have targeted Toomey as far to the right. One uses Toomey's own words, saying his record is "indistinguishable" from staunchly conservative former Sen. Rick Santorum's. Ads from the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee rip Toomey for his support of free trade and votes for policies the group says have shipped American jobs to China.
The free-market advocacy group Club for Growth, which Toomey once led, bought $1 million worth of advertising time in the Philadelphia media market Thursday for a new ad attacking Sestak as "just another liberal" dancing to the tune of President Obama and the Democratic leadership. "Yes, Joe Sestak served honorably in the Navy," the new 30-second spot says. "His service in Congress is the problem."
The Adherents.com website is an independent project and is not supported by or affiliated with any organization (academic, religious, or otherwise).
Such factors as religious service attendance, belief, practice, familiarity with doctrine, belief in certain creeds, etc., may be important to sociologists, religious leaders, and others. But these are measures of religiosity and are usually not used academically to define a person's membership in a particular religion. It is important to recognize there are various levels of adherence, or membership within religious traditions or religious bodies. There's no single definition, and sources of adherent statistics do not always make it clear what definition they are using.
The GOP controls the Senate by just one vote. Even with today's margin, the GOP doesn't have effective control of the agenda as the Democrats use the filibuster to kill pro-growth reform or crucial judicial appointments. The next Senate could confirm two U.S. Supreme Court justices.
If the Republicans do manage to pick up a few extra seats in the Senate, there could also be an ideological shift toward pro-growth issues. Right now, the balance of power is in the hands of the RINO Republicans like Olympia Snowe and Arlen Specter. With a seat pick-up for the GOP, plus the addition of GOP superstars, Olympia and Arlen would no longer be deciding votes. We could move away from watered-down Republicanism toward a genuine pro-growth agenda.
Members of the Club are economic conservatives, like-minded political contributors who are frustrated with the ideological drift of both parties today. Club members have a shared goal of contributing to and electing more Reaganites to Congress who are willing to stand for the issues like: cutting taxes, controlling federal spending, personal accounts for Social Security, ending the death tax, eliminating the capital gains tax, fundamental tax reform, providing true school choice and minimizing government's role in our daily lives.
The stakes are mighty high in the Senate elections. That's why we're providing you now with our outlook for every competitive Senate race and a list of our top tier choices. The "A" List Candidates make this list because their races are competitive and they are the very best on economic issues. The "B" List Candidates are all in hotly contested races too, but they are not as rock solid on economic growth issues.
The Tea Party movement is a populist conservative social movement in the United States that emerged in 2009 through a series of locally and nationally coordinated protests. The protests were partially in response to several Federal laws: the stimulus package; te healthcare bill; and the TARP bailouts. The name "Tea Party" refers to the Boston Tea Party of 1773, the source of the phrase, "No Taxation Without Representation."

One-of-a-kind Healing Safaris in Africa help you nurture your health and wellness while journeying through the stunning natural landscapes of Tanzania. This cultural immersion tour offers so much more than a traditional wildlife safari. A Healing Safaris is designed to take you on a journey of mind, body and spirit. This is the ultimate experience of beauty, inspiration and rejuvenation you can find.
Your cultural immersion journey begins in consultation with Dr. Tanya Pergola who co-creates the itinerary with Maasai elder and traditional healer Lekoko Ole Sululu. You can explore issues such as achieving your optimal weight, de-stress, overcoming addiction, detox, and healing family problems. Or, you can simply relax into primordial African nature and receive an adventure of a lifetime.
A Healing Safari includes follow-up when you return to your home country to assist you in integrating newfound mind-body wisdom into your daily lifestyle.
Day 1 – Welcome to Tanzania!
Arrive evening time at Kilimanjaro International Airport from Amsterdam. You will be met at the airport and driven in bush vehicles through Arusha National Park to Hatari Lodge. You enjoy a nourishing welcome dinner before retiring to sleep after the long flight.
The drive and approach to Hatari Lodge is remarkable. You leave the tarmac road and the frenetic town behind and slowly enter the trees, bush and even the jungle. Colobus monkeys jump around in the trees above you and giraffes greet you upon entrance to the lodge. You feel your energy calming down, connecting to the earth. You sense you are immediately at your new home, in Africa. Personal friendly staff show you to your room, which is beautiful and cozy. The bathrooms are very large and the walk-in shower with stone walls is luxuriously natural. All meals are made with local, fresh ingredients and the chef caters to all food sensitivities. During the warmer season, breakfast is served outdoors overlooking the meadow. There is nothing like having your morning coffee or tea overlooking the view of Mt. Kilimanjaro and eating your fruits and toast while the giraffes, just a few feet away, are eating their leaves. There are ample spots for both personal meditation and yoga practice as well as peaceful spots for group sessions and outdoor massage. The lodge is convenient to the main international airport yet very quickly, your long flight becomes a distant memory and you become present to East Africa.
Accommodation, Hatari Lodge
Day 2 – Yoga with Giraffes and Meditating with Flamingos
Morning yoga practice, gentle and stretchy to work out the kinks from the long plane ride. Opening group meditation. We eat a healthy and delicious breakfast together overlooking the meadow and giraffes before gathering for a briefing for our journey ahead. We then depart for Momella Lakes so you can see hundreds of flamingos rising to the sky with their pink color and you may also see hippos and giraffes in their natural habitat. You will enjoy a picnic lunch at Majo waterfalls. Return to the lodge for a rest before heading out to Boma la Megi for a sundowner meditation and yoga practice with a magnificent view of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Dinner at the lodge.
Accommodation, Hatari Lodge
Day 3 – Migrate to the Migration
Morning meditation and yoga practice followed by a delicious healthy brunch. We then depart Hatari Lodge for a scenic drive to West Kilimanjaro airstrip. From there we fly to the Serengeti. The Serengeti Ecosystem is home to one of the largest and diverse concentrations of wildlife. We will witness the famous migration of nearly two million wildebeests, zebras and antelopes. The drive from the airstrip to camp is through landscapes where you have a chance to see elephants, lions, cheetahs and leopards. We stay at the luxurious Chaka Camp nestled in the bush. In the afternoon we have time to relax and settle in before an evening yoga class followed by dinner.
Accommodation, Chaka Camp: Chaka Camp is a seasonal camp located in the Ndutu area from December till March, then relocates to Western Serengeti from May to June, and to Northern Serengeti from July through November. No trip to Africa, and Tanzania in particular, is complete without visiting the Serengeti. The word 'camp' is nothing like traditional camping, Western-style. This is truly, Out-of- Africa style luxury camp, meaning, you live in a full-sized room, sleep in a regular comfortable bed with duvets and pillows, and even have a proper sink, toilet and shower! Yes, the walls are made of thick canvas and your warm water shower is prepared for you by camp staff, but this all adds to the fact that you are in the bush! There are no thick concrete walls and over-the-top modern technology to block you from the sights, smells and sounds of Mother nature. You wake to the sounds of a plethora of birds greeting you and look out at the sunrise on the African savannah either from bed, or from a meditation chair. The food is delicious and the chef caters to all food sensitivities. Wildlife viewing is some of the best in the world. This is where to see the migration when the time is right. After a couple of days here, your mind-body gets truly in synch with the rhythms of nature and you feel at ease and in the flow. It is amazing.
Day 4 – Walking Meditation and Mind-Body Wisdom
Description: It's time to reflect on tradition! Whether during a walk with the Maasai warriors or a hunt with the Hadzabe Bushmen, you will learn from their traditions that they have gathered over hundreds of years in the Serengeti. On your walk with our competent guides, you will discover how hard we are trying to conserve the natural ecosystem and why. You will come to experience a genuine bush experience with those who know and understand the nature of the Serengeti.
For this experience, we will be using one hundred thousand hectares of Nature Reserve and also have access to another 600,000 hectares of beautiful land.
You will instantly notice the difference between a walking safari and safari by car. Your senses in the car were more cumbersome, whereas on foot, they will all be activated and noticing so many more signs of the wild. Your entire perception of the bush will be changed, and you will feel a whole new intimate connection with the surrounding nature.
Activity: In the morning, we meet for a walking meditation with a Bushman guide where we can feel the pulse of the earth. We enjoy a brunch after our walk. In the afternoon, Dr. Tanya will teach a workshop on understanding your own mind-body constitution and how you can stay in balance using ancient wisdom traditions and practices. Late afternoon yoga practice is followed by time for relaxing and dinner.
Accommodation: Chaka Camp
Day 5 – Meditation amidst the Migration
Description: The Maasai – Mara / Serengeti Ecosystem is home to the largest diverse concentration of wildlife and famous for the migration of nearly two million Wildebeests, Zebras, and Antelopes. In addition to that, large elephant herds wander amidst the migrating herds as the hunters of the steppe, the lions, leopards and cheetahs, prepare for the next hunt. There is no other place in Africa where one can experience this safari spectacle! Between December and March, millions of Wildebeests arrive on the southern steppes after the fresh rains to enjoy the new grass. The landscapes north of the Mara River are a huge contrast to the steppes with their rocky hills, huge fig trees, small valley and winding rivers. It is here, when the migration crosses the Mara River between July and November, where one of the greatest spectacles occurs as crocodiles overeat and lions and leopards hunt amidst the large herds.
Activity: Today we depart early morning for a game drive. We will have our group meditation on the Serengeti plains before our breakfast picnic. After a full day of wildlife viewing we return to camp for evening yoga class before dinner.
Accommodation: Chaka Camp
Day 6 – Talking to Your Nature
Description: By today, you will most likely begin to feel completely in-synch with nature and her rhythms. It is now a great opportunity to really listen to your own internal rhythms and become aware of how they sound to you. While your own daily life back in your home village may look very different from the external landscape of the Serengeti, your inner landscape is the same. What daily practices can you begin to integrate into your lifestyle back home that will enhance your health and happiness? How do indigenous peoples resolve conflicts in their families and communities? What do the sights and sounds of primordial nature teach us? And, ultimately, how are we all intricately linked together with wildlife and ecosystems on this planet and how does it happen that when we transform ourselves, we help transform the world?
Activity: In the morning, we meet for a walking meditation with a Bushman guide. We enjoy a brunch after our walk. Dr. Tanya will teach a workshop on knowing yourself, emotional freedom, and conflict resolution using ancient wisdom traditions and practices. You have a chance to meet with a laiboni, a Maasai spiritual healer. Late afternoon yoga and mediation practice is followed by time for relaxing and dinner.
Accommodation: Chaka Camp
Day 7 – Transfer to the Top of the World
We begin the day with meditation followed by our yoga practice. After breakfast we are transferred to the Maswa airstrip for our flight from the Serengeti back to West Kilimanjaro airstrip. We arrive at the luxurious Maasai Shu'mata Camp for lunch. In the afternoon we visit a boma, a traditional Maasai village and then practice our meditation and yoga on the natural salt pans on the savannah. In the evening, we enjoy a night game drive followed by dinner and rest.
Accommodation, Shu'mata Camp: This is the best place to stay in the heart of Maasailand, the traditional homeland of the indigenous Maasai people of East Africa. You are nestled up on a hilltop overlooking the 'old' Africa landscape, before modern development. Your luxury tent gives you peace and comfort, while you are surrounded by the wildlife and Maasai communities. There is nothing like taking a hot outdoor shower while looking up at the spectacular star-filled African sky! The meals are amazing and the chef caters to all food sensitivities. The Arabic-inspired sitting lounge is a perfect spot for group meditations and there are a number of amazing spots to practice yoga while feeling the spirit of the wildlife and the Maasai infuse you. The land is full of plants traditionally used by the Maasai for healing, and the views from the hilltops are beyond inspiring. Shu'mata actually means 'at the top of everything' in Maa, the language of the Maasai, and finishing your journey in Tanzania at this camp truly does make you feel like you are on top of this world.
Day 8 – Yoga and Maasai Naturalist Walk
Description: Water is more precious than diamonds in an area as dry and arid as the Sinya Steppe. The Maasai living in this area are constantly threatened by drought and often have to carry water from distances of many kilometers. Most of the Maasai living in this steppe in the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro do not have permanent access to drinking water, it is often difficult, sometimes even impossible, to find water for livestock or domestic use. Every day, Maasai women and girls have the daunting task of locating and transporting water to their homes and villages.
"The Maasai have to return to being the guardian of nature. To us, the land came first, then came the animals, and in the end came man. Balance is the key word – balance with nature, but also a new balance for the Maasai people, between old and new. Let's protect the environment." (Ole Molloimet – Maasai Elder)
Activity: Morning meditation overlooking Mt. Kilimanjaro followed by our yoga practice. After our morning yoga we will once again enjoy the knowledge and company of the Maasai on a naturalist walk through The Sinya area. In the afternoon, you have a chance to relax, journal and reflect and an opportunity to receive a massage from a trained therapist associated with Shu'mata Camp.
Day 9 – Walking Meditation in the Footsteps of Elephants
Description: This barren land, scattered with "islands" of old acacia forests and seasonal swamps flank the pans of the 'embosel' ecosystem which stretches to the lower slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro. It is this region, away from the busy tourism areas of northern Tanzania, where the elderly elephants retreat to spend their final years – in peace and harmony and away from the maddening crowds. On foot with Maasai warriors or in open-top game-drive vehicles we get within arms reach of Africa's largest mammals. Timeless moments. Sensing the great peace and beauty of these magnificent creatures and calmly sharing the habitat with the Maasai and their cattle, a true original part of Africa.
Activity: Early morning we leave for a scenic drive to Sinya community and are guided by a Maasai ranger 'in the footsteps of elephants', a walking meditation that will connect us in with the majestic elephants and bring healing to both ourselves and to the elephants, during this time of crisis in their community. We practice our yoga on the natural salt pans, enjoy a breakfast picnic and return to camp in time for lunch. In the afternoon, you have a chance to relax, journal and reflect and an opportunity to receive a massage from a trained therapist associated with Shu'mata Camp.
Day 10 – Final Healing Session
Today, our final day together, we will close our journey with group meditation, yoga practice and discussion. Our final meal together will be a celebration and closing ritual. We will then be transferred to the airport for our flights home.
All Inclusive Program Package includes 5 star accommodations, airport transfers, local transportation, all meals and tours as indicated
