However it is subject to change, and does not form part of the contract between the client and the operator. The itinerary featured is correct at time of printing. It may differ slightly to the one in the brochure. Occasionally our itineraries change as we make improvements that stem from past travellers, comments and our own research. Sometimes it can be a small change like adding an extra meal along the itinerary. Sometimes the change may result in us altering the tour for the coming year. Ultimately, our goal is to provide you with the most rewarding experience. Please note that our brochure is usually released in November each year. If you have booked from the previous brochure you may find there have been some changes to the itinerary. VERY IMPORTANT: Please ensure that you print a final copy of your Trip Details to review a couple of days prior to travel, in case there have been changes that affect your plans.
Itinerary Disclaimer : While it is our intention to adhere to the route described below, there is a certain amount of flexibility built into the itinerary and on occasion it may be necessary, or desirable to make alterations. The itinerary is brief, as we never know exactly where our journey will take us. Due to our style of travel and the regions we visit, travel can be unpredictable. The Trip Details document is a general guide to the tour and region and any mention of specific destinations or wildlife is by no means a guarantee that they will be visited or encountered. Aboard expedition trips visits to research stations depend on final permission. Additionally, any travel times listed are approximations only and subject to vary due to local circumstances.
Itinerary Notes : There are new Health & Safety Protocols for National Geographic Journeys tours. Please see here for full details and up-to-date requirements as they may change.
Important Notes : 1. TRAVEL DAYS This is not a physically demanding journey; however, travelling can be difficult, with long drives and poor road conditions at times. Despite this, most clients feel that the diversity of the African landscape, countries, culture and wildlife are all well worth the experience. We use a comfortable and safe air-conditioned touring vehicle for the long drives. 2. YELLOW FEVER South Africa is to enforce new rules requiring proof of Yellow Fever vaccination for all travelers - even in airport transit - who have been in Zambia or other countries where the disease is endemic. The stricter guidelines, effective 01 Oct 2011, will see pax without an international Yellow Fever certificate refused entry. 3. COMBO TRIP Please note that this trip is a combination of multiple G Adventures tours (Kruger and Cape Town). As such, the staff and/or particular vehicles operating your tour may change between tour segments. You may also expect some group members to join or leave the tour, between tour segments. 4. ACCOMMODATION Please note, if you have not booked MOR (my own room) for this trip, you might be sharing a room for your stay in Cape Town, as well as for the rest of the tour. Please ask at check-in at the hotel in Cape Town if you will be sharing your room. 5. Water-wise tips when visiting Cape Town: Cape Town is currently experiencing one of the worst droughts it has seen in over 100 years, and while we want you to have the best time possible while there, here are some tips to help reduce your water usage: - Bring a reusable water bottle, that you can fill with Cape Town's tasty tap water. - Reuse your towels in the hotel, for at least two days, before getting new ones. - Keep your laundry until you have a full load to do, rather than just doing a handful of items. - Turn off the tap when brushing your teeth, or shaving. - Keep your showers to two minutes or less, and don't use the bath. - Use hand sanitizer, instead of washing hands. 6. DRONES The use of drones in national parks in Southern Africa is prohibited. 7. ACCOMMODATION NOTE: Please be aware that properties we stay in with only two stories may not have elevators installed and climbing the stairs with your luggage will be necessary.
Group Leader Description : On this tour, you will be accompanied by a local Chief Experience Officer (CEO) in Cape Town and a different Chief Experience Officer (CEO)/driver for the Kruger portion. The Chief Experience Officer (CEO) will be the group manager/leader and driver- this person is a registered and licensed tourism guide, experienced in the routes travelled. You crew member has studied to have a broad knowledge base of the region's history, cultures, and wildlife, and are legally certified to lead/guide tours in the regions visited. Most of our leaders in the region are from South Africa. As the group coordinator and manager, the aim of the group leader is to take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible. He/she will provide information on the places where you are travelling, and will take care of the small things so you can concentrate on enjoying your adventure. We also use local guides where we think more specific knowledge will add to the enjoyment of the places we are visiting. Safari guides at the lodge (wildlife safari drives): All safari guides are certified safari guides, and are of course very skilled and experienced drivers. With years of experience taking wildlife seekers into the wildlife parks of Kruger National Park and surrounding Private Reserves, our local safari guides are exactly what will make your safari a success.

What to Take : You will be on the move a lot, so our advice is to pack as lightly as possible. Your baggage should be clearly labelled and restricted to one soft compact suitcase, sports bag, or backpack. A daypack is also essential for carrying everyday items. Space is limited on transportation, so there is a limit of one main piece of luggage per person. Porters may not always be available, so be prepared to carry your own bags. It is important to pack clothes for warm days and cool evenings, as well as a warm jacket for early morning wildlife safari drives. A set of smart casual clothes is also advisable. The Southern Hemisphere essentially has the opposite weather to the Northern Hemisphere. The winter months of June, July and August, whilst clear and warm during the day (up to 25 degrees), can drop down to single figures and even below freezing at night. Between September and May it is considerably warmer with the time between October and March being the hottest, getting up to the high 30C and sometimes above. However it is always a dry heat and the temperature does drop at night. The wet season is between November and February, but this is not a bad time to go, as it generally does not rain for very long. We strongly recommend lots of layers to wear from the start of the day until the night. You might still need to wear a fleece jacket in the mornings, a t-shirt during the day and again the fleece jacket at sunset time. A woolen hat is also very much recommendable for the cold winter's early morning wildlife safari drives. Please be advised that if you plan to bring a drone with you, the use of drones in national parks in Southern Africa is prohibited.

Detailed Trip Notes : TRIP SPECIFIC DETAILS REGIONAL INFORMATION Climate Southern Africa is renowned for its excellent outdoor living climate. The winter months are from May to September and are characterized by cold nights and pleasant days. Summer is from October to April and starts off with increasing dry heat and dust. Rains generally only start from mid to late December and last until March; this period is hot and humid. Local Currency South African Rand is the best currency to use in South Africa. KRUGER NATIONAL PARK The world-renowned Kruger National Park offers a wildlife experience that ranks with the best in Africa. Established in 1898 to protect the wildlife of the South African Lowveld, this national park of nearly 2 million hectares, SANParks - Kruger National Park is unrivalled in the diversity of its life forms and a world leader in advanced environmental management techniques and policies. FAUNA AND FLORA Approximately 145 mammal species occur in the park. It is possible to see all the classical African wildlife, including elephant, black and white rhino, hippopotamus, giraffe, zebra, buffalo, warthog and many antelope species. Large carnivores include lion, leopard, cheetah, wild dog and spotted hyena. There are also many smaller mammals. Kruger has a list of almost 500 species of birds, some of which are not to be found elsewhere in South Africa. Hornbills, Starlings, Vultures, Rollers, Bee-eaters and Shrikes are found here birdwatchers can look forward to pursuing the big 6 (Saddle-billed Stork, Kori Bustard, Martial Eagle, Lappet-faced Vulture, Pel's Fishing Owl and Ground Hornbill). The far north of the park (Pafuri and Punda Maria regions) is regarded as one of the birding Mecca's of the country (with many regional rarities to be found), yet birding throughout the entire park is excellent. Eagles are common: Bateleur, Martial, Black-breasted Snake, Brown Snake, African Hawk, African Fish and Tawny are all regularly seen, and in summer: Wahlberg's, Steppe, Lesser Spotted. The Park's numerous water points make for excellent bird watching, while the rest camps and picnic sites are exceptionally rewarding for birders. VEGETATION With Kruger being so vast it naturally has a tremendous botanic diversity. Simplistically the park can be divided into 16 macro ecozones. The northern half of the park, north of the Olifants River is predominantly mopane veld, while south of the Olifants the ecozones are thornveld. There are 336 tree species in the park.
Spending Money : Every traveller is different and therefore spending money requirements will vary. Some travellers may drink more than others while other travellers like to purchase more souvenirs than most. Please consider your own spending habits when it comes to allowing for drinks, shopping and tipping. Please also remember the following specific recommendations when planning your trip.
Money Exchange : NOTE: Simbavati River Lodge has credit card facilities. The easiest way is to withdraw money at the ATM airport (see below). The currency in South Africa is the South African Rand (ZAR). Rand can be obtained locally by changing foreign currency or by using ATMs (where available) which will disperse local currency. Your CEO will inform you where you can change money throughout the tour and approximately how much money you will need. The easiest foreign currency to exchange for locally for any of the local currencies is the $US; however the British Pound and Euro may also be exchanged as well. Please note that due to past problems with forgery, $US notes that are older than year 2006 are not accepted in Africa. Large note ($US 50, $US 100 etc) can be difficult to change in some places, but will gain you the best exchange rate. If you plan to rely on cash, please bring foreign currency (Euro, Pound, USD) with you, as it is often expensive to buy these currencies locally. And in more rural areas, it is often not likely. If you plan to buy your visas at borders, you will need to bring $USD cash to pay for these visas. Please note you cannot use the local currency or any other currency to buy these visas- they must be purchased in USD. Please do not bring Travellers' cheques to Africa. They are difficult if not impossible to exchange in many places. Visa/Plus system cards are the most widely accepted debit cards. it is harder to find machines Mastercard/Cirrus cards. We highly recommend that if you hold a Mastercard, you obtain a Visa card prior to departure and travel with both. This is also useful should somethingunforeseen happen to one of your cards during your travels. While there are many ATMs in the major centres, there are no guarantees that your credit or debit cards will actually work in Africa. Check with your bank. Credit cards can be used in major cities and towns ONLY but please do not rely on them as a method of payment because they are generally not widely accepted. You should be aware that to purchase products or services on a credit card a fee of 5%-10% usually applies. The majority of our optional activities can also be paid by credit card. Your CEO will advise on these. Please note that in many areas there may be occasional power-outages, where there will be no electricity for hours at a time. In addition, ATMs outside of larger centers often run out of cash or can be out of order unexpectedly. These factors could affect your ability to access money from ATMs. As such, please do not rely on credit or debit cards as your only source of money. A combination of foreign currency and debit/credit cards for cash advances is best. Always take more rather than less, as you don't want to spoil the trip by constantly feeling short of funds. As currency exchange rates can fluctuate often we ask that you refer to the following website for daily exchange rates: www.xe.com.
Emergency Fund : Please also make sure you have access to at least an additional USD $200 (or equivalent) as an 'emergency' fund, to be used when circumstances outside our control (ex. a natural disaster) require a change to our planned route. This is a rare occurrence!
Tipping : Tipping is an expected, though not compulsory, component of your tour program. The gesture serves as an expression of appreciation for exceptional service, and amounts given are up to your discretion. Tipping is one of the most direct ways that you can have a positive economic impact within the African community. Although it may not be customary for you, it is an important source of income for those in the tourism industry. Giving a tip should be a seen as a formal 'thank you', and the action should in no way be awkward. The best method of tipping someone that has served the whole group is to plan in advance, and not rush when it comes to saying goodbye. A suggestion would be for each group member to contribute anonymously by putting their tip into an envelope. This often works the best and the group should gather to present the gift to the recipient(s), offering their thanks and showing their appreciation. This method brings the action out into the open, allowing for a friendly and appreciative interaction between the group and the recipient(s). You may use the following as a guideline, all given in a per person format: CEO: $7-10 USD (per day) Driver: $5-8 USD (per day) Local guides: $2-3 USD (per day) Safari Guide/Driver: $2-3 USD (per day) Restaurant Staff: 10-15% of cost of bill
Optional Activities : Cape Town - Shark Cage Diving (2755ZAR per person) - Cape Winelands Tour (1295ZAR per person) - Two Oceans Aquarium (220ZAR per person) - Optional Welcome Meeting for Travellers on Combos Dyer Island - Whale and Bird Watching at Dyer Island (1450ZAR per person) Table Mountain - Table Mountain Cable Car (300-390ZAR per person)
Health : We recommend you contact your family physician, or your local travel clinic for the most up-to-date health information at least one month before departure. Travellers should also carry a basic first-aid kit and hand sanitizers/antibacterial wipes on their travels. Medical facilities are basic throughout these countries. For your own safety, we strongly recommend that you advise your tour leader of any medical condition that may affect you while travelling with the group. Your tour leader will be able to inform you of local health advisories (e.g. drinking water quality). Please ensure you have all the inoculations recommended by your doctor. Yellow Fever Certificate Note: (Updated: May 2017) It is compulsory to show a valid Yellow Fever Certificate if you are travelling to the following G Adventures-visited countries from a Yellow Fever endemic country: - Botswana - Ethiopia - Kenya - Madagascar - Malawi - Mozambique - Namibia - Rwanda - South Africa - Swaziland - Uganda - Zambia - Zimbabwe For some of these countries, proof of Yellow Fever vaccination is also required for passengers who have travelled more than 12 hours through the airport of an endemic country. If other countries not endemic to Yellow Fever have been visited after visiting an endemic country, then a Yellow Fever certificate may still be required on entry. Please check country-specific regulations before your departure. Malaria Malaria is a mosquito-borne disease that is present in some regions in Africa. Risk of malaria can increase during periods of heavy rain, during the rainy seasons, and in densely populated areas of Southern & East Africa. To prevent malaria, we recommend speaking to your doctor about taking preventative medication (prophylaxis), combined with regular use of insect repellent spray/cream. Please check updated travel health advisories specific to malaria before your departure.
Safety and Security : Many national governments provide a regularly updated advice service on safety issues involved with international travel. We recommend that you check your government's advice for their latest travel information before departure. We strongly recommend the use of a neck wallet or money belt while travelling, for the safe keeping of your passport, air tickets, travellers' cheques, cash and other valuable items. Leave your valuable jewellery at home - you won't need it while travelling. Many of the hotels we use have safety deposit boxes, which is the most secure way of storing your valuables. A lock is recommended for securing your luggage. When travelling on a group trip, please note that your CEO has the authority to amend or cancel any part of the trip itinerary if it is deemed necessary due to safety concerns. Your CEO will accompany you on all included activities. During your trip you will have some free time to pursue your own interests, relax and take it easy or explore at your leisure. While your CEO will assist you with options available in a given location please note that any optional activities you undertake are not part of your itinerary, and we offer no representations about the safety of the activity or the standard of the operators running them. Please use your own good judgment when selecting an activity in your free time. Although the cities visited on tour are generally safe during the day, there can be risks to wandering throughout any major city at night. It is our recommendation to stay in small groups and to take taxis to and from restaurants, or during night time excursions. Protests and Demonstrations- Protests and demonstrations, even those that are well intended, have the potential to turn violent with no warning. Counter protests can also turn violent. Action by security forces to disperse demonstrators and protesters may occur at any time. If you are in an area where demonstrators or protesters are gathering, avoid the temptation of staying for a good photo opportunity and leave the area immediately. Water based activities have an element of danger and excitement built into them. We recommend only participating in water based activities when accompanied by a guide(s). We make every reasonable effort to ensure the fun and adventurous element of any water based activities (in countries with varying degrees of operating standards) have a balanced approach to safety. It is our policy not to allow our CEOs to make arrangements on your behalf for water based activities that are not accompanied by guide(s). Swimming, including snorkeling, is always at your own risk. We take all prudent measures in relation to your safety. For ways to further enhance your personal safety while traveling, please visit: www.gadventures.com/travel-resources/safety/
Trip Specific Safety : GENERAL: Look after your personal items. Do not leave your valuables visible in a car or hotel room. Lock your hotel room door when you enter and when you leave. Do not carry large amount of cash on you. Avoid displaying flashy jewellery and carry your camera in its pack on your shoulder rather than around your neck. Keep your passport, airline tickets, money, important documents locked up in your room/safe - do not carry it with you. Please note that the use of drones in national parks in Southern Africa is prohibited. Vital Information when you are staying the KNP or any Reserve: Please ensure that your stay is happy and safe by taking note of a few simple warnings. You will be sharing your stay with many exciting and unusal creatures but without knowledge some of them could be dangerous: Example: Bats, Spiders, Snakes, Scorpions, Malaria Zone. If you must walk around at night please DO NOT DO SO WITHOUT A TORCH. Remember: by feeding any wildlife, you are signing their death warrant as they become aggressive!
A Couple of Rules : Illegal drugs will not be tolerated on any trips. Possessing or using drugs not only contravenes the laws of the land but also puts the rest of the group at risk. Smoking marijuana and opium is a part of local culture in some parts of the world but is not acceptable for our travellers. Our philosophy of travel is one of respect towards everyone we encounter, and in particular the local people who make the world the special place it is. The exploitation of prostitutes is completely contrary to this philosophy. Our CEOs have the right to expel any member of the group if drugs are found in their possession or if they use prostitutes.
Travel Insurance : Travel Insurance: Travel insurance is compulsory in order to participate on any of our trips. When travelling on a group trip, you will not be permitted to join the group until evidence of travel insurance has been sighted by your CEO, who will take note of your insurance details. When selecting a travel insurance policy please bear in mind that all clients must have medical coverage and that we require a minimum coverage of USD 200,000 for repatriation and emergency rescue. We strongly recommend that the policy also covers personal liability, cancellation, curtailment and loss of luggage and personal effects. If you have credit card insurance we require proof of purchase of the trip (a receipt of credit card statement) with a credit card in your name. Contact your bank for details of their participating insurer, the level of coverage and emergency contact telephone number.

Begin the day with an exploration of vibrant Cape Town, wandering through the multicultural Bo-Kaap neighborhood. Then enjoy an exclusive guided tour of Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, named by National Geographic Travel as one of the world's 10 most magnificent gardens. Later, stop by Boulders Beach to see the resident population of African penguins, and continue to the Cape Point lighthouse and the Cape of Good Hope, the southwesternmost point in Africa.
Enjoy a day of leisure in Cape Town, choosing from a variety of optional activities. Hike up iconic Table Mountain or hop on a cable car to the summit, taking in extraordinary views of the city and the Atlantic seaboard. Or explore the Cape Winelands, visiting the historical city of Stellenbosch, touring wine estates with expert guides, and indulging in a variety of tastings and pairings.
Fly to Johannesburg, then take a guided tour of Soweto township. Soweto was an important center of South Africa's anti-apartheid movement and home to its leader, Nelson Mandela. Visit the Mandela House Museum and learn about this painful chapter in the country's history. In the evening, enjoy a traditional South African braai (barbecue) with your fellow travellers.
Set out towards Kruger National Park via the magnificent Panorama Route, one of the world's most picturesque drives. Make stops at the dramatic Blyde River Canyon and Bourke's Luck Potholes, and take in panoramic views of the forest-covered valley from the God's Window viewpoint. Continue to our lodge near Kruger National park, savour a delicious South African Dinner in this picturesque location.
Rise early and climb aboard an open jeep for a full-day safari in Kruger National Park—home to an extraordinary array of large mammals. Spot elephants, lions, giraffes, and perhaps elusive leopards as we explore this breathtaking wilderness of savanna and scrubland. Return to our lodge in the evening, where you can take some time to relax and enjoy the nocturnal sounds of the bush.
Travel to the Karongwe Private Game Reserve, a pristine wildlife sanctuary located in the Greater Kruger area. Meet with a researcher from the Endangered Wildlife Trust's Cheetah Metapopulation Project—a program funded in part by National Geographic's Big Cats Initiative—and learn about efforts to protect the region's cheetahs and other carnivores. The researcher then joins us for a wildlife-viewing excursion through the reserve.
Spend the day exploring Karongwe on morning and afternoon safaris with our local guides. Search for Africa's famed "big five" as we drive through the shrublands of the bushveld. Back at camp, relax on deck or take a walk around the grounds.
Embark on one last safari this morning, keeping a lookout for Karongwe's iconic inhabitants. Then head back to the city, where you'll enjoy dinner in our family run lodge.
Depart at any time.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — It's bad enough that back-to-school comes in June, and Halloween arrives in July. And of course we all know Christmas begins in September. But now even the craft beer industry is caving to seasonal creep. For this year, the beer drinker's harbinger of autumn — pumpkin ales — apparently couldn't hold off until the pumpkins actually ripened.
Labor Day may be considered the unofficial end of summer, but some craft brewers couldn't even wait until then to roll out their pumpkin and other fall seasonal beers. Many already have been in stores and on taps for a month. And not all beer drinkers are saying, "Cheers!"
"Everyone likes pumpkin beer, but you don't want it to come too soon. I definitely like to drink it in the appropriate season," says Nate Marsden, 23, of Boston, who nonetheless recently gave in to the temptation of his favorite seasonal brew, Pumking, an imperial pumpkin ale from Southern Tier Brewing Co.
He's got company. Beer connoisseurs who wanted to savor summer a bit longer have been airing their gripes on social media. Taking to Twitter with hashtags such as #HolidayFail and #SummersNotOver, people like Andrew Hickey let it be known they weren't impressed with the early start.
Forget being irritated about back-to-school ads, the 33-year-old tweeted — complete with a photo of the offending brew — back on Aug. 16. "Why is there pumpkin ale already on shelves?!?"
"I think it's just a rushing the season kind of thing," said Hickey, of East Brunswick, N.J. "I'm guilty of drinking them but it seems like it's getting earlier and earlier each year."
Brewers were quick to explain that they didn't have much choice. They said increased demand and the size of their breweries meant they needed to start making the beer earlier. And that means it gets to consumers earlier, too.
"If you think it's too early for Pumpkin Ale . don't go get some," Schlafly Beer in St. Louis posted on its website in August. "It will still be on shelves for the next couple months (hopefully) and you can pick some up down the road."
Dan Kopman, the brewery's co-founder, said that in a perfect world they'd have their summer offerings available through the end of summer, then start selling their fall beers soon after. "When something changes that has been very traditional, you're always going to get a comment," he says. "It's a great problem to have and is simply reflecting what's going on in the market."
Bars across the country also have weighed in on the availability of pumpkin beers when temperatures are still hovering in the high 80s.
"We will not be tapping pumpkin beers until the fall, when the season is appropriate," says An Bui, the self-proclaimed chief beer officer at Mekong, a Vietnamese restaurant in Richmond that offers 50 revolving taps and more than 200 varieties of bottled beer. "Seasonal beers are where you taste the fruit or the flower of that period," Bui says. "It's so early. What's going on?"
Those who follow the retail trade also noted a possible reason for the premature arrival, aside from needing to start production earlier: capturing early demand.
"When you're selling seasonal merchandise, there's only a certain profit pool available to be had from that," says Craig R. Johnson, president of Customer Growth Partners, a retail consultancy. "If you're objective is to capture the maximum share of the profit pool, you want to have your goods out their early because you'll be first in the marketplace."
And Marshal Cohen, chief industry analyst with The NPD Group, says brands and businesses trying to get that top-of-mind business are "willing to risk the absurd — even earlier than expected."

NEW YORK – What does the baby of the world's most famous Latin American singer need? Nothing, apparently.
Expectant parents Shakira and soccer star Gerard Pique of FC Barcelona are inviting friends and family to join an online baby shower to benefit underprivileged children. Their own child is expected to be born early this year.
A UNICEF-hosted web site invites those attending the virtual baby shower to buy gifts costing as little as $5, which can buy a mosquito net to ensure a sleeping baby stays safe from malaria -- a leading cause of child deaths worldwide. Guests can spend $10 for polio vaccines to protect 17 children, or $37 for a baby scale.
"To celebrate the arrival of our first child, we hope that, in his name, other less privileged children in the world can have their basic needs covered through gifts and donations," reads a message from the 35-year-old Colombian superstar, a goodwill ambassador for the UN children's agency, and Pique. "Thank you for sharing this unforgettable moment with us."
The site also features never-seen photos of the couple, taken in December.
In a black-and-white image, a shirtless, 25-year-old Pique poses with his right arm around a hugely pregnant Sharika, who wears a bikini top and hip-hugging skirt that shows off her exposed belly.
A second photograph shows her in a white full-length gown that accentuates her expanding torso.

*** Swiss customs and Swiss VAT
We ship to Switzerland at net prices. For orders from outside the EU, no VAT is automatically calculated in the shopping cart by selecting the relevant destination country. Experience has shown that the postman will charge you Swiss VAT (7.5% of the value of the goods) and a fee of approximately CHF 10.00 when the goods are delivered. For some shipments, the post / postman also requests customs duty. You can calculate the exact customs fees by using the XTARES fee calculator from the Federal Customs Administration at http://xtares.admin.ch/. Unfortunately, there are no uniform rules on how much customs duty is actually levied on the customer, sometimes no duty at all, sometimes around CHF 10. Further information on import duties: https://www.ezv.admin.ch/ezv/de/home/information-private/interneteinkauf--post--und-kuriersendung/einfuhr-in-die-schweiz/empfangen-von-briefe -and-packages.html Please note: All information without guarantee!

Tomorrow we will be delivering the packages we made up for local friends and the neighbors. I'll post what we made/included in their packages tomorrow night! After that, I think I'm ready for a good 3-4 day nap... please?
This is one of our favorite snacks during the holiday season - we always have to find the holiday shaped pretzels to use in it too!
These are one of Jeff's new favorite crisp chocolate cookies - studded with those Ande's peppermint crunch chips.
This is another one that we have to make every single year. The perfect combination of salty and sweet in mini bite-sized form! Small peanut butter ritz bits dipped into real white chocolate and topped in holiday sprinkles.
We did the kisses a bit different this year - these crisp meringue cookies are still flavored with peppermint, except I painted red lines inside the pipping bag before filling it to create the colored stripes.
We both love this unusual brittle - instead of your favorite nut, crushed popcorn turns these crunchy snacks into a wonderful sweet treat!
Jeff absolutely has to have these cookies each year - chocolate malt gives these cookies an edge over your ordinary M&M cookies.
How could we not make our favorite new bark? We made this for the first time last year and will be making it for many years to come! I love the striking color difference in the layers and with a bonus of being able to be cut quite neatly! Rich, creamy and very peppermint-y!
One of the more uniquely flavored baked popcorn mixes - sweet caramel and buttery toffee spiked with a large amount of ginger.
One of the new recipes - crunchy biscotti flavored with spices found in gingerbread. Loved the addition of chopped apricots and nutty pecans. Fresh grated orange zest adds a fun background flavor which had people trying to guess what made these so good.
Another must-have! Smooth, creamy and you can't stop reaching for more of this addictive fudge!
We can't include only one kind of fudge - we started making this a couple years ago and it is just different enough that we always get asked for the recipe.
And finally... the crunchy toffee that we have made at least 5 batches of this season. Crazy good and so delicious.
Here is the quick shot of everything packaged up before they went in their boxes. Whew! Too bad we are not quite done yet!


text: Space | 05. March 2013 | posted by Jan Wörner 東京 にある DLR (DLR in Tokio) In addition to having offices in Washington, Brussels and Paris, DLR has now opened an office in Tokyo. To mark this occasion, a small delegation flew to Japan, where its members met with representatives from many institutions. A reception was held, which was attended by guests from Japan and Germany to mark the opening. This function was hosted jointly with the German ambassador, Volker Stanzel, at his official residence. These days in Japan meant a great deal to me, both with respect to the opportunities it brings for DLR and on a personal level, for myself. Back in 1982, my then boss, Gert König, sent me to Japan. As an employee of the civil engineering company König und Heunisch, I was tasked on behalf of what back then was the German Federal Ministry of Research and Technology (Bundesministerium für Forschung und Technologie; BMFT) to investigate the safety of German nuclear power stations in the event of earthquakes and to establish the extent to which it would be possible to use the Japanese test facilities, in particular the large vibration table in Tadotsu, for this investigative work. This first visit affirmed my close affinity with Japan, one that continues to the present day. Later, as a University Chancellor, I returned to Japan; on this occasion I developed a series of double-degree programmes with Japanese universities. Visit to the region affected by the 2011 tsunami – the former location of Arahama, near the city of Sendai. Another very special meeting of minds arose after the devastating events in 2011 involving an earthquake and a tsunami; my close connection with Japan and my dismay about those events prompted me to collect money at my local Lions Club, which we then sent to Tohoku University in Sendai. Now, let me turn to the opening of the DLR office. Equipped with an earthquake emergency kit – Niklas Reinke, Head of the new DLR Tokyo Office. After a whole series of meetings and presentations, it became clear just how well this commitment by DLR is being received, as well as the great potential for close cooperation it brings. Niklas Reinke, who is now our 'Man in Tokyo' , will have his hands full tackling all the various topics from what is a very small office. Nonetheless, with immediate effect, it has been equipped with all the items needed in the event of an earthquake. At the reception in the residence of the German ambassador, things became very personal indeed for me. The statements by Volker Stanzel and the President of the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), Keiji Tachikawa, carried the spirit of the event way beyond the mere exchange of generalities. The fact that many of those who accompanied me on my first visit back in 1982 were there was something that far exceeded my expectations. I was even able to get reacquainted with the people who taught me Japanese at that time, Kato-sensei and Inohana-sensei. On Friday, we caught the Shinkansen ('Hayabusa 1') to Sendai to sign the DLR@Tohoku agreement with the University of Tohoku. Here too, we received a truly warm welcome and conducted many fruitful discussions. Finally, we were taken to see the areas devastated by the tsunami, living testimony to the lingering threat as well as to the will and determination of the people to move beyond this disaster. On the evening before our return flight, a few of us got together for a 'Japanese evening' in a small tavern to enjoy biru and sake. At the end, we sat together with our hosts for a commemorative photograph. DLR@Tohoku, the cooperation agreement between Tohoku University (represented by its President, Susumu Satomi) and DLR. Internationalism is and will remain a very important aspect of DLR's work. First and foremost, this involves support for research. At our headquarters, the words of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry ring very true: "Your task is not to foresee the future, but to enable it." To rephrase that sentiment slightly: "International research cooperation cannot be planned, but it can be made possible." Now it is up to the scientists at DLR to make the most of the opportunities afforded by the opening of the DLR Tokyo Office. As Chairman, I do not see myself as a missionary or as an acquirer of relevant international research activities. Instead, I see myself as a facilitator and a door opener.

Fan's Frightening Upper Deck Fall Injures Two at Buffalo Bills' Game [VIDEO]
Football is a violent game, but watching it can be even more dangerous.
The Buffalo Bills-New York Jets game on Sunday was marred when a fan fell from the upper deck of Ralph Wilson Stadium. The incident was captured by CBS' cameras.
It looks like the fan in question was skating down a railing when he lost control and fell one level down. He landed on an unsuspecting fan in the deck below. That person reportedly suffered a head injury.
The Bills, by the way, won 37-14.

CFC - NAA Data (NIST/SI) - Tabular Display
This page presents a database consisting of the data produced by a program of NAA conducted at the National Institute for Standards and Technology/Smithsonian Institution facility in 1990.
This initiative consisted of 200 analyses involving 84 of the 126 CFC clay specimens. Eighty-nine of the 200 analyses were of a raw clay specimen, 26 of a specimen fired to 750 C and 85 of a specimen fired to 900 C. In 76 instances the same clay specimen was analyzed in both the raw state and one or both of the two fired states. The analytical protocols employed for this work are described in CFC - Project Narrative, Section 3.1.
The default display for the database presents the data in tabular form. Also available is a record display that presents the data for an individual analysis.
In the tabular display each row corresponds to an analysis, Column 1 records the laboratory identification number, Column 2 the specimen's clay number, Column 3 the type of clay (i.e., its general geologic origin), Column 4 the state of the material analyzed (heated to 105 C [= raw]; fired to 750 C; fired to 900 C), and the remaining columns the values obtained for each of the 28 elements assayed. The data are presented in parts per million (PPM) form for all elements and have been rounded to three places. The order in which the elements are presented is that employed for the reporting of data by the NIST/SI facility at the time that the program of analysis was undertaken.
In the tabular display users can sort any of the columns in ascending or descending numerical or alphabetical order by clicking on the column header.
Users can go to the record display for an analysis by clicking on the cell in the Lab ID column for that analysis. They can return to the tabular display by clicking the Back arrow. In the record view the fields for the chemical data are presented in a collapsed view under the heading Chemical Composition. These fields can be expanded and collapsed by clicking on this heading.
Clicking on the content in the Clay Number field in either the tabular or the record display opens a display of the record for the clay specimen in question in CFC - Clay Database Record Display. Users can return from this display to CFC - NAA Data (NIST/SI) by clicking the Back arrow.
The CFC - Products - Data page presents a link to a downloadable spreadsheet that contains the data in this database.

The examples in the subsequent sections illustrate the following aspects of PHP for SCA:
How PHP annotations are used to define PHP classes as SCA components, and how annotations are used to define the services.
How an SCA component can be exposed as a Web service
How an SCA component can consume a Web service, whether provided by another SCA component or by some other service which knows nothing of SCA
How an SCA component can call another SCA component locally (within the same process and on the same call stack)
How a client script which is not an SCA component can use the getService call to obtain a proxy for an SCA component.
How data structures such as Addresses, or Puchase Orders, are represented as Service Data Objects, and handled.
How SCA components are deployed, and in particular how and when WSDL is generated for a service.
How parameters are always passed by value (and not by reference) between components, even when the calls are local. This ensures that the semantics of a call do not change depending on the location of a component.
How positional parameters to a service are supported, even when the underlying WSDL is document literal wrapped, and naturally supports only named parameters.
How business and runtime exceptions are handled.

FormatThe teams play a single round-robin series. Each team plays each opponent once. The winner of the event will be promoted to Division II Group B.Medals will be awarded to the top-three teams.Three Point SystemFor all games points shall be awarded as follows:
Overtime OperationsIf a game is tied at the end of regulation time, a five-minute overtime period shall be played immediately after an intermission of three minutes. The teams will defend the same goals as in the third period. The game will end when the five minutes has expired or when a goal is scored; the scoring team will be declared the winner. If no goal is scored in the overtime period then the Game Winning Shots Procedure will apply. All overtime periods of any IIHF game shall be played with each team at the numerical strength of four (4) skaters and one (1) goalkeeper.
Game Winning Shots ProcedureIf no goal is scored in the overtime period then the Game Winning Shots (GWS) procedure will apply. The following procedure will be utilized:
Tie breaking formulaThe tie-breaking system for two teams with the same number of points in a standing will be the game between the two teams, the winner of the game taking precedence. Due to the fact that the three-point system does not allow a game to end in a tie, then the following tie breaking procedure is applicable when three or more teams are tied in points in a Championship standing.Should three or more teams be tied on points, then a tie breaking formula will be applied as follows, creating a sub-group amongst the tied teams. This process will continue until only two teams remain tied. The game between the two remaining tied teams would then be the determining tie-breaker as the game between these two teams could not end as a tie.Step 1:Taking into consideration the games between each of the tied teams, a sub-group is created applying the points awarded in the direct games amongst the tied teams from which the teams are then ranked accordingly.Step 2:Should the teams still remain tied then the better goal difference in the direct games amongst the tied teams will be decisive. Step 3:Should the teams still remain tied then the highest number of goals scored by these teams in their direct games will be decisiveStep 4:Should three or more teams still remain tied then the results between each of the three teams and the closest best-ranked team outside the sub-group will be applied. In this case the tied team with the best result (1. points, 2. goal difference, 3. more goals scored) against the closest best ranked-team will take precedence Step 5:Should the teams still remain tied, then the results between each of the three teams and the next highest best-ranked team outside the sub-group will be applied. Step 6:Should the teams still remain tied after these five steps have been exercised then Sport considerations will be applied and the tied teams will be ranked by their positions coming into the Championship.Note: If not all mutual games have been played yet in an ongoing tournament, the tied teams will be ranked in the standings according to the following criteria: 1. Lower number of games played, 2. Goal difference, 3. Goals scored, 4. Positions coming into the Championship.More informationClick here to download the IIHF's Rule Book and Sport Regulations.

At Annual General Meeting of shareholders, Ericsson President and CEO Hans Vestberg gave an overview of 2011 financial results and strategic decisions
Good sales growth; profitability remains in focus
Information and Communications Technology (ICT) reaching all parts of society – from electric vehicles to city planning
At Ericsson's (NASDAQ:ERIC, news, filings) Annual General Meeting, President and CEO Hans Vestberg reviewed financial results and discussed strategic decisions made throughout 2011, which he told shareholders will ensure continued technology and services leadership for the company.
As previously reported in the Annual Report, published on March 15, income increased by 12% and sales, excluding acquisitions and divestments, increased by 19% adjusted for currencies. Net sales were SEK 227 billion for 2011. During the same period, Ericsson increased its market share for mobile network equipment by 6% to 38%. Ericsson holds the number one position as a global telecom equipment vendor and is twice as large as its nearest competitor.
Vestberg gave an overview of Ericsson's focus areas: mobile broadband, managed services, and OSS/BSS (Operations Support Systems and Business Support Systems). Business Unit Support Solutions, formerly Multimedia, has defined a new strategy in 2012 that builds on OSS/BSS, TV and media solutions as well as M-Commerce.
2011 was a tough year for Ericsson's joint ventures, which both reported losses. Vestberg remarked on the divestment of Sony Ericsson as emotional, because Ericsson has been involved in making telephones practically since the company's inception in 1876, but said it made good business sense in the strategy to enable 50 billion connected devices – not just phones.
With regard to ST-Ericsson, Vestberg told shareholders that the company has presented a new business strategy and announced steps to return to profitability.
Networked Society
By the end of 2011, there were 6 billion mobile subscriptions in the world. There are about 7 billion people on Earth. Even more importantly, subscriptions for mobile broadband, or internet via mobile devices, increased by 60% during the year. By 2016, Ericsson predicts that mobile broadband subscriptions will go up to five billion. There are many examples of how the world is headed into the Networked Society, where people, business, and society use connected devices to their benefit. Vestberg presented two examples at the Annual General Meeting.
Staffan Lorentz from the City of Stockholm, talked about Stockholm Royal Seaport, where Ericsson is one of many partners in a project to build a sustainable city of the future. Ten-thousand people will live and 30-thousand people are expected to work in the area, which is designed to make it easy for people to live in a low-carbon, ecologically-conscious way. Ericsson is an ICT advisor and is building a network that is used for much more than voice calls. The other example mentioned by Vestberg was an electric car charging project, done in collaboration with Victoria Institute, Göteborg Energi, and Volvo Car Corporation, where drivers can control the charging of a Volvo C30 Electric car via a mobile app. An actual car was parked outside the meeting area for shareholders to see and touch.
Ericsson invested close to SEK 33 billion in 2011 in Research and Development and employs about 22,000 engineers in R&D. The company is the largest holder of essential patents for wireless communication, with over 90 license agreements and 30,000 patents.
During the Annual General Meeting, three employees were brought onstage and recognized as "Inventors of the Year." Thomas Cheng, from Ericsson Research in San Jose, California, USA, Paul Schliwa-Bertling, from Ericsson in Linköping, Sweden, and Iana Siomina, from Ericsson Research in Kista, Sweden, are altogether responsible for 275 patent applications.
Sustainability and Corporate Responsibility Report 2011
Ericsson today publishes its Sustainability and Corporate Responsibility Report for 2011, Technology for Good. The report gives examples of Ericsson's performance and activities in areas such as energy efficiency, in helping to reduce climate change, as well as its involvement in endeavors like Refugees United, which works to help refugees find their loved ones, and Connect to Learn, where Ericsson provides ICT to enable a 21st century education for secondary school students, especially girls, in Africa.
The report also highlights Ericsson's longtime commitment to human rights. Onstage, Hans Vestberg said: "It is our firm conviction that access to telecommunication is crucial to ensure human rights – the right to education, health care, not to mention freedom of expression and democracy."
He summed up by saying: "We have strengthened our position as the industry leader and I'm convinced that Ericsson has what it takes to be the driving force in the Networked Society. Our best assets are our leadership within technology and services, our global scale, and of course the fantastic colleagues that we have around the world."

Grilled Asian Eggplant with Soy-Ginger Glaze
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...It was gorgeous today. Our morning was really cold, but once the sun burned away the last pockets of fog, the sky remained a beautiful azure for the entire day. It was a perfect day to barbecue, so I fired up the grill and made our first "brick" chicken of the year. I had Asian eggplants in the refrigerator and thought that grilled, they make a perfect accompaniment to the chicken. They happened to be the long, slender dark purple Japanese variety. Japanese and the lavender Chinese eggplant have thinner skins, fewer seeds and a milder taste than the globe eggplant that is used in Italian cooking. The chicken was mildly spiced, so I decided to pair it with a full-flavored Asian-style grilled eggplant. This is very easy to do. All that's required is to halve them lengthwise and baste them with a teriyaki sauce as they cook. The insides become creamy as the outer surfaces caramelize. My only caution, should you decide to make them, is to watch the heat of the grill. If it is too hot the eggplants will burn before they cook through. If you are looking for something different to serve with plain grilled meat or poultry, you might want to give these a try. They are not the prettiest girl on the block, so when we have guests I roll the slices rather than serve them flat on a plate. Here's the recipe.
Grilled Asian Eggplant with Soy-Ginger Glaze...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite, courtesy of Willams Sonoma, Savoring America
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons sake
2 tablespoons mirin
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon peeled, finely minced ginger
2 teaspoons Asian sesame oil
1 pound Asian eggplants
2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
2 scallions, white and tender green, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise
1) To make the sauce: Combine soy sauce, sake, mirin, sugar and ginger in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Simmer for 1 minute. Let cool. Stir in sesame oil.
2) Prepare a medium-hot fire in a grill.
3) Cut eggplants lengthwise into slices about 1/4-inch thick. Brush one side of each slice with the soy mixture. Grease the surface of the grill. Place slices, glaze side down on grill. Cook, turning frequently and basting often with sauce until slices are tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer slices to a serving platter. Roll into a cylinder if desired. Garnish with sesame seeds and scallions. Serve immediately. Yield: 4 servings.

What a different way to do aubergine... I always play it safe and prepare it in a Mediterranean way, but this certainly looks delicious enough to try. Thanks

I have been missing you again! It seems I just turn my head - and when I get back to you - and I try to once a week - there is so much I have missed. I would love it if you could find a subscribe by e-mail plug in for readers like me to get your new posts in my mail box. These slivers of eggplant look like each is PACKED with flavour. Talk about "one perfect bite"! And, the Parker House rolls! In Boston last year, I learned the history of these. My mother would make them when I was a child. YOurs look perfect...
Every time I stop by, I am deeply inspired, and I would love to receive your posts in my mailbox. I never get to my readers in time.

Mary you always make fantastic, gorgeous food but this one really speaks to me! There is a great takeout place in NYC called Mooncake Foods that has the BEST marinated eggplant. I scoured tons of recipes trying to recreate it at home and was always disappointed - I think I wasn't adding enough sugar. I can't wait to get back home (in LA for work for the month) and make this. Thanks SO much for sharing!

Mary --
Yes, that creamed spinach is better than Ina's!!! But it has LOADS of cream cheese, lots of cream and lots and lots of parm -- it is plate licking good!
It will be a holiday dish at Linderhof -- way too much of the above to be on the menu regularly! - May 7, 2010 at 10:31 PM

Mary, how wonderful! The eggplant is so succulent and the flavors...wow! I don't think I'd be able to stop popping these in my mouth!
