Kelok was disappointed by the fall of the hedgehog and motor oil table, but said, "Don't worry, the chocolate table is fine."
He chose a small handful of chocolate covered slugs, and poured a cupful of chocolate covered eggnog. He checked to be sure that Unger was not actively encouraging the flames in anyway, and went back to his alcove in case the fire suppressant suddenly decided to work. He never wanted to be in the middle of a flood of that stuff that managed to be both slick and sticky at the same time again.

Highlights: Ethiopia (Addis Ababa, Bahir Dar, Gondar, Lalibela, Axum)
Ethiopia is not a destination for those who seek thrills; it is a destination for those who wish to be moved.
Immerse yourself in a landscape of incense and stone and experience the blurring of past and present. Journey through fertile highlands fraught with antiquities; experience the bustling Mercado marketplace with its thousands of stalls; and tour the island monasteries of Lake Tana, where coffee grows under the shade of the forest canopy. In the evenings, relax in comfortable accommodations that offer warm hospitality and modern amenities.
Tour Addis Ababa and visit the Ethnological Museum which boasts the famous complete hominid fossil remains of 'Lucy,' and tour the beautiful baroque Trinity Cathedral. Explore the many medieval castles and beautifully decorated churches of Gondar, in particular Debra Berhan Selassie, a representative masterpiece of the Gondarene school of art. With your private guide and driver, head for the Simien Mountain region and hike the natural habitat of the gelada monkey. Continue on to Lalibela, the jewel in the crown of Ethiopia, and tour its many rock hewn churches, arguably Ethiopian's most famous and remarkable attractions. Your journey through this resplendent country will be one you'll treasure forever.
Enjoy a personalized vacation that best suits your needs, developed by one of our experienced destination experts. Relax during your trip with our 24/7 support and expert local guidance.
A private vehicle with an English speaking driver will provide a transfer to the airport.
The Addis Ababa hotel is located near the UNCC and is in the heart of the city's business centres. A modern design characterises the hotel's 204 rooms and 16 suites, which include amenities like Free high-speed, wireless Internet access and flat-screen televisions. Additionally, a fitness centre, spa, lounge, restaurant and nine meeting rooms provide even more hotel amenities for guests' convenience.
This full day city tour explores the many highlights and monuments of this special Ethiopian city. Begin with a tour of the Ethnological Museum, boasting many archaeological and historical findings including the famous complete hominid fossil remain of 'Lucy', locally known as 'Dinknesh', which translates to wonderful. Visit the Trinity Cathedral, a beautiful church built in the baroque style, similar to much of the European inspired architecture unique to Ethiopia. Next proceed to Merkato, the largest open-air market in Africa, a fascinating glimpse of the vast range of goods and artifacts available from all parts of the country. Travel to Mount Entoto to admire the stupendous views of the city and its surrounding plains.
This flight travels from Addis Ababa to Bahir Dar, Ethiopia. The flight duration is approximately 1 hour.
Depart the hotel this morning to enjoy a boat trip on Lake Tana. This boat ride visits the 14th century Monastery of Ura Kidane Mehret, one of the most famous monasteries of the area, boasting some very beautiful painted maqdas and a priceless collection of crosses and crowns. After the boat ride, drive to the village of Isat to view the nearby Blue Nile Falls.
Bahar Dar is a small town set on the south-eastern shore of Lake Tana. It is just 30 km from the spectacular Tisisat Falls. Here the Blue Nile creates an awe-inspiring sight as it plunges into the gorge below. From Bahar Dar you can explore some of the ancient monasteries that have been built around Lake Tana, or on its many Islands. These include Dek Stephanos with its priceless collections of icons, the remains of several medieval emperors, Kebran Gabriel and Ura Kidane Mehret with its famous frescoes. The colourful local market at Bahar Dar is renowned for its weavers and wood workers. The Tana Hotel, a modern 64-bedroom hotel has rooms with private bath & shower, restaurant with seating capacity of 137 (dining style), well-equipped kitchen, coffee bar and pool side terrace, spacious veranda, telephone, fax, televisions with Satellite reception capabilities, well-equipped laundry, stand-by power generator.
The distance from Bahir Dar to Gondar is 170 kilometers and it is a flat road. Instead of waiting for 2 hours for check-in and 25 minutes for the flight, it is recommendable to drive. Experience the Ethiopian countryside and see the country by private car.
This tour explores the many historical sites and monuments of the Ethiopian city of Gondar. Founded by Emperor Fasilidas around 1635, this city has gained fame due to its many medieval castles and elegantly designed and decorated churches. In particular, Debra Berhan Selassie, a representative masterpiece of the Gondarene school of art. Upon completion of the tour a return transfer is provided.

These friendly creatures allow for a very close experience, fantastic for a memorable photo opportunity. Enjoy a traditional picnic lunch in the mountains, before returning back to the point of departure.
This short flight travels between Gondar and Lalibela, Ethiopia. The flight time is approximately 30 minutes.
Lalibela is the jewel in the crown of Ethiopia, the most famous churches and the scene of so many major religious ceremonies. Also known as 'Africa Petra', Lalibela and its rock hewn churches are arguably Ethiopian's most famous and remarkable attraction. These churches include Bete Medhane Alem, Bete Mariam, Bete Meskal, Bete Denaghel, Bete Golgotha, Bete Mikael, and Bete Giorgis. You will start your tour this morning and continue in the afternoon.
The Roha Hotel in Lalibela, Ethiopia, is the most comfortable and desirable lodging in town. Snuggled into the bosom of this mountain village, the 64 room hotel and its staff guarantee impeccable service. Try the local food, which is typically made with spicy meats and vegetables along with flat bread and salads. Situated a mile outside of town, you will find yourself taking pictures of the intricate artifacts adorning this attractive, simple space. More humble than the crystal chandeliers and gold-plated walls of more arrogant hotels, the Roha boasts something above high ranked holiday hot spots. With a lush countryside and some of history's most incredible monolithic churches from centuries of yore, there is little need for spas and tennis courts in this region.
This tour begins with a drive to the Nakuto Le'abe Monastery. Nakuto Le'abe was the son of King Gebre Meskel, who abdicated his throne in 1270 AD, and then began a hermit's life in a nearby cave. This dramatic cave has ever since became a monastery, housing one of the most interesting collections of ancient crosses, illustrated manuscripts, garments, and other icons, some of which are attributed to its founder Nakuto Le'abe.

Enjoy this exploration tour of the 5th century Temple of Yeha, dating back to about seven or eight hundred years before the birth of Christ. This temple is believed to be the oldest standing building in the country. Beside the remarkable temple, visit the church of Abba Aftse, dedicated to one of the famous nine saints who came to Ethiopia in the 6th century from the eastern Roman Empire to spread the word of the Gospel. This church shares the same compound with the temple of Yeha. Upon completion of the tour a return transfer is provided.
This flight departs from Axum and arrives in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The flight duration is approximately 1 hour.

Depart from Bole international airport - end of itinerary.
Africa JoyceHorgan , November 08, 2012 "I am a world traveller and this was one of my Top 3 vacations ever! Kensington Tours did a great job with EVERY little detail, from the planning to being met and catered to every step of the way. Our favorite lodges were Tau Pan in the Kalahari, Botswana & Moon Mountain in Sossusvlei, Namibia. We especially loved the Batswana people and all the animals we saw at Camp Moremi on the Okavanga River. The highlight of our trip was actually our stay in Swakopmund when we stayed on the South Atlantic & went for an exciting boat ride to see all the sealife up close and personal (like a seal coming onboard the boat!), a rollar coaster dune ride in a 4 X 4!! the balloon ride over the red sand dunes over Namibia and several champagne brunches in the middle of the desert. Also, will never forget all the sundowmer game drives which ended with our favorite cocktail, watching the sunset with wildlife close at hand! Unforgettable. Thanks Ivona for planning it all!"
Africa MarkMasterson , October 26, 2012 "35 Goose Pond Road Lincoln, MA 01773 October, 2012 Re: Steven Weru Kinyua, Kenya tour guide We recently returned from a wonderful 8 day tour of Kenya with Steven, he is an exceptional individual. But one example: As we returned to the Samburu lodge from our first game drive, Steven pointed out a young, sick-looking lion in the shade of a tree. We observed it momentarily and soon returned to the lodge for dinner. The next day Steven mentioned he had reported the weak young lion to the local Samburu ranger. Steven explained that due to the arrival of a new alpha male in his pride the young lion had likely been chased out before he was able to hunt for himself. He further explained that the young lion would be welcome back in a week or two, if he were alive. I pursued the full story w/Steven. The ranger Steven had reported the weak lion to had been unresponsive, indicating he would do nothing. Steven, unsatisfied w/that response told the ranger to report it to the Head Park Ranger, or he would. The Head Ranger agreed with Steven's analysis of the situation; bought 10 kilos of meat for the young lion; and directed his staff to feed it appropriately. Steven understood the workings of that lion pride, and has an exceptional knowledge of all the wild animals of Kenya. Furthermore he has a passion for their well-being. He would not accept a lazy, disinterested response from the local ranger. During our trip in Kenya I had occasion to speak to groups of secondary school students. I related Steven's actions as an excellent example of a Kenyan's knowledge, passion and commitment. One day Steven pointed out a cheetah. We saw the cheetah w/a young impala in its mouth. After the cheetah had choked the young impala, Steven explained the mother cheetah was calling her cubs --it was thrilling to see the 3 cubs come tearing across the plain creating a mini-dust storm in their wake. The mother gave the kill to her cubs. Steven explained they had to learn to open it up. Shortly she sent them off the kill, twenty paces or so, then froze, looking westerly. A lion, smelling the kill Steven explained, was moving off to the north about a 1000 yards away. Intent on the lion the mother cheetah remained frozen in place (as we're the cubs, mimicking their mother). After the lion passed the mother called the cubs back to the kill. Not 15 minutes later the lion came back, followed by yapping jackels, this time moving off to the east of the cheetahs. As soon as the lion appeared, the mother cheetah repeated her previous actions, sending off the cubs and freezing over the kill, intently watching the lion. Steven explained that the jackels were distracting the lion from the kill, knowing if the lion found the kill, nothing would be left for them. Again the lion passed off to the southeast, never able to find the cheetah kill. This summary highlights events that played out over a 90 minute period. In that time several tourist rovers and vans came, took pictures of the cheetahs, and left. None of those tourists had a complete explanation of the scene that was playing out before us. Game-viewing w/Steven is a rich experience, a clear cut above the average. In our time w/Steven we had lengthy conversations about the pluses and minuses of grass-burning, the challenges of maintaining wildlife corridors, park encroachment by locals, roadway underpasses for big game, etc. in addition we discussed ukabila and other political challenges facing Kenya. Steven Kinyua is an exceptional Kenyan guide. He has a wonderful sense of humor, and made our Kenya safari a wonderful learning experience we will cherish for years. Mark Masterson, Ed.D."
Africa EbonyHoskins , October 18, 2013 "I am so happy that I used Kensington Tours to help with my dream trip to Cape Town South Africa. I was looking for a well respected tour company that planned private guided tours that was not going to cause me my leg, lol. I begin searching companies by reputation and value. I narrowed it down to Kensington Tours because of the quality and value. I felt taken care of prior to my departure due to the detailed itinerary. From the time of got off the plane to the time I headed back to the states, I was in excellent hands. The service was EXCELLENT! I will definitely use Kensington again. Certainly, a trip of a lifetime!"
Africa DeborahEastland , October 29, 2013 "My husband and I have just returned from the trip of a lifetime in Egypt. The sites were amazing and overwhelming. Everything was as promised. We had the most amazing pyramid view and Nile view from our hotels. Our itinerary included the most magnificent sites and we were accompanied by the most informative and friendly people. I highly recommend visiting Egypt. It is totally safe. Thank you to everyone at Kensington for this experience. It was so beyond our expectations!"
Africa JudyChiburis , October 31, 2013 "From our greeter, who whisked us through customs in Johannesburg, to all our excellent drivers, guides and associates in Lions Sands, Cape Town and the wine country, everyone was highly professional, well dressed, well mannered, and well informed. Overall our tour worked like a superbly designed, technically perfect Swiss watch. An experience for the ages. Bravo!"
Africa ConniePurtell , October 29, 2013 "This was a trip of a life time for me and I was never disappointed. Sylvia listen to me and give me exactly what I wanted in the way of a photo Safari as well as full tour of Cape Town and the wine country. I never had to wait one minute for a guide or any of the transportation provided. The people I dealt with along the way could not have been more courteous and friendly. I just cannot say enough about my experience with Kensington Tours, it was fabulous! "
Africa Hanne Jones , October 24, 2013 "I have travelled all my life. I've combed much of Europe, from The arctic north in Norway to the streets of Seville in Spain, the beaches of Cannes and Nice in France and the medieval heart of Bologna in Italy. I've been on two African safaris (one tented, one not), both "luxurious." I've been on more than a dozen jaunts to India, some guided, others not. Over the years I have discovered that I had rather be lost and disoriented in a foreign country than submit once again to the unbending schedule of a guided tour. Hence I had given up tours of any kind, until Molly Kelly, an American Express travel agent, suggested I might want simply to list the places my friends and I wished to see in Morocco then let Kensington Tours make accessing them in an orderly way not only possible but thoroughly enjoyable as well. And this Kensington Tours did. They pulled our disparate destinations together and designed a far, far better route than we could ever have done on our own. They satisfied all our requests and threw in delicious additions, areas of interest we had never considered or even heard of. Our accommodations were well within our means and wonderful. Our guide and driver, not to mention our Mercedes SUV, could not have pleased us more. In other words, thanks to Molly and her recommending Kensington Tours, we had a sensational holiday. "
Africa Anthoula Korina , September 05, 2013 "Africa had always been a myth in mind since I was child that was up until a week ago. I just returned from an epic safari adventure! Kenya, Tanzania and the Maasai are sorely missed. Words cannot fully express the magic of this ever-flowing journey. It was awe-inspiring, breathtaking, free and powerful. My mind keeps playing tricks on me; thinking rather hoping that I'm going to see a giraffe cross a busy NYC street :) The memories will resonate for a lifetime. To boot, I went on this trip solo; female traveler. Not sure any of it would have been possible w/out Kensington Tours!!! Thank you..."
Africa JaneJennings , July 12, 2013 "I had a wonderful trip visiting the mountain gorillas in Uganda. We were able to get really close to the gorillas and watched their interactions with each other. The local people are so gracious and made every minute a delight. The accomodations were great. I loved waking up in the morning to the sounds of the forest. The added luxury of a massage was a great way to end the trip!"
Africa gingermedlen , July 26, 2013 "Our family of 6 traveled to Morocco for a 9 day Imperial cities discovery, I was absolutely amazing. Our guide Lahcen Zaaim was the best guide we have EVER had and we have traveled to many countries. There was not one subject that he was not knowledgeable about. He made the trip sooooo memorable. He was so flexible and when he picked us up in the mornings to head out, he was talking nonstop to tell us soo much about everything we were seeing. There was soooo much to see in Morocco and he made sure we saw it all.. He truly has a gift in the touring business, you feel as if your leaving your best friend when the trip is over. When we got to the airport in casablanca, he spotted us before we saw him and of course, we asked him, how did you recognize us? He even went as far as to get the King of Moroccos artist to meet us at our riad the night before we left to return home late to do our names in moroccan arabic to frame, They were beautiful, He showed us a picture of the Kings Face he had done for the Palace! Lily Baffour from Kensington planned our trip and she was amazing, planning everything as she thought we would like based on what I told her. She did an Outstanding job and literally sent our Iteniaries by next day air in a beautifully done spiral bound personally book for each family that was going on the trip, SOOOOOO IMPRESSED and she even got the guide we requested!!!! I cant say enough about this trip and Kensington, we will definitely use again!!! We experienced a VERY different culture in going to Morocco and thats what we wanted, a Very different exotic trip and thats what we got!!!! Again our accomodations we Top Notch, staying in the TRuly authenic Riads, they were SOOOOO Luxurious, Plan on taking another suitcase or buying one there because you will buy more things to bring home than any other trip because of all the Handicrafts there, especially in Fes!!!

We want to hear your suggestions on how we can make the Zion 100 a better experience for you. Post questions/comments below or send emails to email@example.com You can also get in touch via our Facebook page. The FB page has the most up to date photos and happenings related to the race.
Is there a 100k option? Yes, the races will start simultaneously. The courses are identical until mile 62, where the 100k runners will split and head back to the finish line. 100 mile runners that have had enough can opt to call it a day at this point and head to the finish line also, receiving an official 100k finish. 100 mile runners that stick it out and make it to the Guacamole aid station or farther before withdrawing will also automatically receive an official 100k finish.
Where does the race start and finish? The race will begin and end at the Virgin town park. To get there, turn right at 100 W as you come into Virgin on Hwy 9 and continue for one block.
What time does my race start? 6:00am (official start time for both distances). Coffee and hot chocolate will be ready by 5am.
A few runners have inquired about starting early in order to make sure that they make the 32 hour cutoff. We will be offering two options for an early start: 4am and 5am. Anyone that takes the early start will not be eligible for overall awards, this is intended for those that need more time. If you are a mid-pack runner that isn't worried about the cutoff but not competing for the top spots, feel free to use this option as well. We will not be opening aid stations earlier for the early starters, so be prepared for water-only with limited food options at the first two aid stations. Just make sure we get your name down when you line up to take the early start. The additional one or two hours will be added to your official time after you have finished the race.
When and where is the pre race check in? Thursday evening from 5-9pm at this gorgeous home located in the national park, ten miles up Kolob Reservoir road. Click here for a map of how to get there from the start/finish line. The physical address is: 95 North Kolob Terrace Rd. Virgin, UT. You can bring drop bags to pre-race check in or drop them off at the starting line Friday morning.
Is there a pre-race meeting? Not a set meeting, just important information handed out at pre-race check in. Your goodie bag will have updated handouts. Make sure to give yourself time to read them over. Any remaining questions can then be addressed with the race staff. Your opportunity for a free wood-fired pizza is at pre-race check in, so don't miss it! If you are unable to make it, your packet will be available Friday morning before the race (but you'll need to arrive at least an hour early.)
How often are the aid stations? Between 5-10 miles. Water-only stations and sponge buckets will be placed between aid stations, with the exception of between the starting line and Aid station #1.
When will drop bags will be accessible? You can leave a drop bag for any aid station that you'd like.
What will be available at the aid stations? Aid stations will be stocked with: water, ice, Heed, Gatorade, Coke, ginger ale, gel packs, fruit, boiled potatoes, broth (both vegan and chicken), tortillas w/ Nutella, PB&J, turkey sandwiches, dill pickles, chips, Ensure (or similar drink), coffee, hot chocolate, hard candies, granola bars, fig newtons, anti chafing agent, sunscreen, first aid supplies. We will have some electrolyte caps, but not enough to supply all runners if they rely on us as their only source. If you run out or need a few at each aid station, they're there for your use, but please plan to supply your own. Same with gels. We will supply an average of one gel per runner per aid station, but that's obviously not enough to cover every runner if they are fueling only with gels and relying on our supply.
Birthday cake will be served at the Goosebump aid station, celebrating all of the runners with April birthdays!
In addition to the standard fare, any night aid stations will have different warm food items (rice/bean/cheese/salsa burritos, grilled cheese, quesadillas, and pancakes in the morning).
Dutch oven potatoes (vegetarian, meat lovers, and breakfast varieties) will be served at the finish line.
The pre race meal is organic, wood-fired pizza made to order from the Rise Up Pizza Co. The pizza oven will also be available on Friday afternoon and evening at the start/finish line selling pizza. A beverage of your choice will be provided with each voucher as well.
Coffee and hot chocolate will be ready at 5am on Friday morning at the starting line.
If you have a favorite item that you can't live without at the aid stations, let us know and we'll see what we can do.
Can I have a pacer? Pacers are allowed anywhere after Grafton Crew Access Point (approximately mile 47). We will provide a pacer shuttle service from the start/finish line to the Grafton and Camino del Rio Crew Access Points. The shuttle will leave every hour on the hour so plan accordingly if you wish to use this service.
Can you help me find a pacer? Visit this page for information on how to request a pacer.
Where can friends/family (crew) access the course to provide support? At Goosebump, Grafton Mesa, Grafton Crew Access, Camino del Rio Crew Access, Walsh Aid Station, Smith Mesa Turnaround Crew Access, and Mesa Road Turnoff Crew Access (3 miles from the finish line.)
What percentage of the course is run on single track trail/dirt roads/paved roads? The 100 mile course has approximately 30 miles of single track, 63 miles of dirt roads (good running quality, not gravel) and 7 miles of pavement. (Don't let the paved miles get you down too much- 5 of those miles are on remote, very scenic stretches.)
Where are the nearest/best accommodations? Virgin is located right in the middle of Hurricane and Springdale, about a 15 min. drive to either of them. We highly recommend staying in Springdale if you can- hotel prices are higher than Hurricane or St. George, but the proximity to the park and the ambiance of the town are worth it. A discounted rate has been offered from the premier hotel in Zion Canyon- Cable Mountain Lodge (10% discount- use "Z100″ for discount code on their website). Follow this link for more lodging options around Springdale. (Links to lodging in the Hurricane and St. George areas are also available through this same website.)
Our sponsoring hotel on the Hurricane side of the event is the Holiday Inn Express- St. George, Utah, just off of the Hurricane exit that takes you to Zion National Park. Mention that you're with our group and get $32 off of the regular rate. Access this trail in the Red Cliff Desert Reserve from the hotel.
Here is a blog post about camping options within 15 minutes of the starting line. The unofficial "group" free camping area is about 5 miles up Kolob Terrace Rd, next to North Creek. We will have a port-a-potty set up at this site (for reals this time- it didn't get delivered to the right place last year!)
See this post for links to home rentals in Virgin, Springdale, Hurricane, and St. George.
Where is the nearest airport? The St. George airport is about 45 min from Virgin. Las Vegas International Airport is about 2 hours and 15 minutes from Virgin.
Who gets belt buckles? What do they look like? Only finishers of the 100 mile race. Buckles are custom made with materials harvested from the course and will make a perfect souvenir of the area. Here is a link to a preview of the buckles. Runners will select their buckle in the order that they finish the race, as there are a variety of styles to choose from.
100k finishers will receive a unique finisher's medal.
What are the average temperature highs and lows? Tough question. Highs could still hit 90 degrees in the lower elevations, although that is less likely than last year. It could also snow up on either of the mesas in April. Be prepared for either extreme. Average temps for mid April should be around 80 for a high and in the 40′s for a low.
What are the cutoff times? 100 mile= 32 hrs, 100k= 20 hrs. Use the early start option if you're worried that you won't make the cutoff.
Why was the cutoff time shortened? Two full days exposed in the desert sun is just too risky if we get hot temps like we did in 2012. We had some close calls last year which were heat related, all of which occurred late in the afternoon on the second day.
Do I need to purchase a pass to get into the national park? No. The race is run on 5 mesas on the outskirts of the park, not inside the park. Even though the pre-race check in location is on a property that is surrounded by the park, it is a lesser traveled road and there is not an entrance fee to get there.
Am I required to prove that I've completed a race of another distance in order to qualify to register? Nope. Just need to be crazy enough to try. Fortunately we can easily access all aid stations by vehicle and can give runners a ride back that have had enough. (But that would never cross your mind!)
Is the race held on bike trails? If so are there a lot of bikes on the trail? All of the single track sections are shared with mountain bikers but we'll be using the busiest trails during times with very low traffic. We'll have signs up to let bikers know to use caution.
What will be used to mark the trails? High visibility flagging (no more of the cheap stuff), removable paint, flour, high intensity reflective tape, LED lights, and signs to mark junctions.
How technical is the trail? The ascents onto Gooseberry, Eagle Crags Grafton, Guacamole, and Smith mesas are hands-on-knees steep. The descent off of Gooseberry Mesa is steep and technical with bad footing. Gooseberry and Guacamole have lots of ups and downs and slickrock sections mixed in which make it nearly impossible to find a good running rhythm. Other sections such as Smith Mesa road, Smithsonian Butte road, Eagle Crags road, and Dalton Wash road are very straightforward and fast. This course has a little bit of everything!
What do the shirts look like? Race apparel has our logo on it, with a variety of products that you can choose from. Upon registering, you will choose one of the following: a T-shirt, longsleeve shirt, hoodie, running cap, visor, armsleeves, or a handheld watter bottle. All of these items will be available for purchase at the race as well or you can pre-order items via ultrasignup. Here's a look at what the merchandise will look like with our logo:
Is there cell phone reception on the course? It's pretty spotty, depending on your provider. You can pick up a signal every so often. Most aid stations will have volunteers from the local Ham radio club that will help us keep track of runners and communicate emergencies.
Will it be possible to track runners online during the race? Yes, there will be 4 checkpoints from which runners' locations will be updated online. Miles 19, 31, 57, and 82. Goosebump and Walsh aid stations are the only ones where we will have internet access to do this.
Is there a "Plan B" course if the weather is bad? Yes. Much of the course is a nightmare when wet. The clay sticks to the bottom of shoes and it becomes almost impossible to run. Gooseberry and surrounding area is much better under rainy conditions, but the access getting there can get a little ugly. We'll likely have to run laps on Gooseberry if it gets ugly. Crew access will be the biggest challenge in this scenario.
What are the post race festivities? We will now be heading over to the new Brew Pub at the main entrance to Zion National Park (next to Cable Mountain Lodge). Runners will receive a complimentary brat, burger, grilled chicken, or veggie burger. You can enjoy the only fresh draft beer in southern Utah (from Zion Canyon Brewing Co.) on the patio overlooking the Virgin river while listening to live music.
Will the registration price increase after a certain date? Yes. On December 1st, the price will increase to $225. We ask that you please register early if possible, as it is very helpful for us in the planning/preparation process.
Can I get a refund if I'm not able to run? We'll do our best to work with individual circumstances, and the amount refunded will be determined by how much advanced notice you give us as many costs involved with the race are incurred early. If you let us know before Jan. 1 that you are withdrawing, we can refund (or roll over to the following year if you choose) the full amount of your race entry (except for the ultrasignup processing fee). Until March 1, we'll refund or rollover 75% and after March 1 a 50% rollover discount to the following year's race will be given.
Is there a cap on the number of runners allowed to enter in 2013? Not really. There is but it's high enough that we don't anticipate being anywhere near it.
Are there age group prizes? No, overall winners only. (1st-3rd, M/F- for both the 100 and the 100k.) Age group places will be posted on your ultrasignup.com profile. Awards (and buckles) will be handed out individually after runners cross the finish line.
Can I run the course while I'm in town? Yes. We'd love to have you come and join us on any of our group runs. The group run schedule will be posted on the blog in the fall. If you're in town and want to run, post on the Facebook page and chances are myself or another local will join you since a few of us are usually out running the trails on weekends.
How does the 2013 course compare to the 2012 course in terms of difficulty? What was the reason(s) for changing it? This course is a bit more difficult in terms of elevation gain (about 20% more climbing). It is hands down better in terms of views offered (we're much closer to the national park). We get out of the hottest desert section bright and early before it heats up and most runners won't hit it again until evening or night when it has cooled down. We'll hit Gooseberry during the day instead of at night. We climb up and descend 5 mesas, each offering dramatic panoramic views of the park. It is logistically easier to manage and more accessible. While the course isn't easier to run, it has much more to offer. Scroll down through the course description photos in the sequence that they come at you in the race, and you should get an idea of why the changes were made. I wanted to showcase this area that we're running in and this course does that much better.
I'm a little concerned about the animals that could be out roaming at night. What do I need to look out for? The biggest concern would be possibly stepping on a rattlesnake. But the good thing about rattlesnakes is that they rattle to warn you before they bother you, giving you time to get out of the way in 99% of the encounters. There's a good chance that you'll hear coyotes howling, but they aren't a real threat around here. While mountain lions are around, we've never had any attacks in the area. It's wild enough here that they have plenty of room to roam and they keep their distance. I've never seen one personally in the area in over 30 years and I do a lot of late night running.
I'm traveling from far away and planning a vacation around the event. What are some of the "must see/do" activities for someone who has never been to Zion National Park before? Here's a link to a nice variety of hikes within the park. There's so many backcountry options that even local enthusiast have a list of canyons that they have yet to explore. Click on this link to see some great mountain biking trails in the area. These mtn biking trails give a good overview of what's available in the region. There's also plenty of great climbing to be had in southwestern Utah.
The Facebook page is the best place for current events/discussion surrounding the Zion 100.

Press Release 10 December 2009
World Energy Council Statement on COP15
World Energy Voice on Energy and Climate Change
Energy is at the core of economic, social and environmental development. Moving towards a low carbon economy in a context in which we see a major demand shift towards Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East and, in which 1.6 billion people strive for access to modern energy will require strong and effective policies to be in place.
Climate change and energy security are global challenges and therefore have no economically efficient solutions within national boundaries. This underlines the role of trade and makes the rules that govern it an essential building block of the global public good. Nationalistic solutions that lose sight of the global picture and the need for a coordinated and collaborative approach delay the necessary international policy convergence. The resulting high investment framework uncertainty makes infrastructure investments unnecessarily risky and we all will pay the risk premium as part of higher energy prices, possible energy shortages and further delay in climate change mitigation.
The right incentive framework is the key to the delivery of the investments required to guarantee security of supply and mitigate climate change. Failing the implementation of true costs will deliver and lock us in with an inadequate infrastructure.
Such framework needs to provide
transparency and certainty to allow for the adequate investments to take place without further delay;
a predictable carbon price to steer the most effective technology choice, keeping in mind the specific needs of low-income citizens;
a market based international coordination mechanism to enable investments where they have the highest impact;
the enabling of technology innovation and technology transfer by complementary policies and incentives, taking into account the equity issues among countries.
An unprecedented level of collaboration involving public and private sector will be necessary in the design and implementation of such policies. WEC's World Energy and Climate Policy Assessment promotes the coordination and monitoring of effective policies to ensure energy security and mitigate climate change.
Energy trade is critical to global economic development and international energy security. The WEC Trade and Investment Rules for Energy study warns that GHG reduction should be addressed through means other than the use of trade restrictions.

Surrounding of the apartment Universitat in the Eixample neighbourhood
The apartment is located on Aribau Street, just off of Plaza Universitat, in the heart of Barcelona's "Eixample", a neighbourhood famous for its wide boulevards and modernist architecture, created in the late-nineteenth century. Today it is a lively residential and commercial area.
A 5-minute walk away are the Ramblas and the notorious Paseo de Gracia, as well as the central Plaza Catalunya, where many underground, train and bus lines can be found. The bus to and from the airport stops just 50 m away, and Montjuic with its museums and the Fira conference center is only only three metro stations (red line 1) or a 20 minutes walk away.

ultra-mide 25
Information, Symptoms, Treatments and Resources
What is ultra-mide 25?
Lantiseptic Therapeutic Topical Cream
Drug Name:
This medication is used as a moisturizer to treat or prevent dry, rough, scaly, itchy skin and minor skin irritations (e.g., diaper rash, skin burns from radiation therapy). Emollients are substances that soften and moisturize the skin and decrease itching and flaking. Some products (e.g., zinc oxide, white petrolatum) are used mostly to protect the skin against irritation (e.g., from wetness). Dry skin is caused by a loss of water in the upper layer of the skin. Emollients/moisturizers work by forming an oily layer on the top of the skin that traps water in the skin. Petrolatum, lanolin, mineral oil and dimethicone are common emollients. Humectants, including glycerin, lecithin, and propylene glycol, draw water into the outer layer of skin. Many products also have ingredients that soften the horny substance (keratin) that holds the top layer of skin cells together (e.g., urea, alpha hydroxy acids such as lactic/citric/glycolic acid, and allantoin). This helps the dead skin cells fall off, helps the skin keep in more water, and leaves the skin feeling smoother and softer.
What are the possible side effects of taking ultra-mide 25?

INTERIM STUDY REPORT Economic Development, Tourism and Financial Services Committee Representative Randy McDaniel, Chairman Oklahoma House of Representatives Interim Study 11-011, Representative Leslie Osborn October 14, 2011 State funding and budget of State parks and golf courses under the Department of Tourism Deby Snodgrass, Executive Director Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department (OTRD) email@example.com Oklahoma benefits from the state park system in several ways. The parks bolster Oklahoma's third largest industry, travel and tourism, and preserve natural resources, including land and water, that might be damaged without the park designation. The state's park system also encourages health and wellness among Oklahomans, which is important considering poor state statistics related to obesity and physical activity. Most state parks are leased, not owned, and Oklahoma will always be in the state park business as a result of an agreement with the federal government under which state park assets were built with Federal Land and Water Conservation Funds (LWCF). These funds were provided to the state with a replacement requirement stipulating that if LWCF projects were removed from the park system and privatized, they would have to be replaced with assets of equal market value. As a result of the agreement and this arrangement, Oklahoma will never exit the park business. In order to improve the quality of life and health of all Oklahomans, there should be an assessment of park locations and distribution across the state. Every five years Oklahoma is required by the federal government to do a Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP). Each SCORP has generated the same criticism that the state's parks are not distributed in accordance with Oklahoma's population. There are two ways to reach self-sufficiency in park system operations. The state can either reduce operating costs or raise revenue generated by certain fees, although an uncontrollable factor like weather also plays a role in the financials. OTRD is looking at each park individually to find ways to increase visitation and raise revenue. Most of Oklahoma's parks do not have one central entrance point. Therefore, the state cannot charge an entrance fee and generate income from park land. The lodges and golf courses associated with Oklahoma's parks underwrite the entire system. In Texas, state residents buy an annual card that grants entrance into any state park. The Oklahoma Legislature must authorize the transfer of park land. Next session, the Legislature will be asked to approve the transfer of title on land at Boggy Depot and Heavener-Runestone. See presentation a. Jonathan Small, CPA, Fiscal Policy Director Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs, Inc. email@example.com There are core government services that should be provided by the state, but the government should not be providing a service that the private sector can or does provide already. Privatization of certain services should be considered.

Red Necks. One of the most important aspects of a hat is to make sure you protect your face and neck from the sun.
Adding a quality fishing hat to your fishing outfit can be the difference between a day you will always remember or one that you wish that you could forget. One of the simplest pieces of equipment, fishing hats play a key role in keeping anglers dry, warm, protected from weather and insects. Fishing hats range from your ordinary baseball cap to a traditional wide-brimmed Stetson. Whatever style that you choose, be sure that this hat will to do the job that you need. Too often, anglers simply grab whatever is hanging in front of the door on the way out. A good fishing hat is something that keeps the sun out of your eyes and face, won't blow off even in a stiff wind, water repellent, dries quickly and prevents sunburn on your neck.
Baseball Caps: While these are the simplest of all the different fishing hats, they really aren't always the best choice for the serious angler for a number of reasons. First of all, ball caps easily blow off if you hit windy conditions while out on the water. Secondly, most ball caps are made of cotton, meaning they will absorb the sweat produced by your body while walking to your favorite fishing hole. Once these caps get wet they will stay wet all day making it uncomfortable to wear for the remainder of the day. Lastly, ball caps are not great at keeping the rain off of you. With all that being said, baseball caps are still the No. 1 hat used for fishing around simply because almost everyone has one lying around the house. And if you do not have any other fishing hats then a baseball hat will certainly work.
Up-Downer Baseball Cap: This style fishing hat is simply a better version of the standard baseball cap. This type of hat has an extended front bill shielding your face from the sun's rays, a roll-down cape to protect your neck and a chin strap to keep the hat securely on top of your head. These up-downer hats are a great choice for anglers who are fishing the shallows salt flats where the sun can be very hot and the angler needs maximum protection on their head.
Traditional Wide-Brimmed Caped Hat: These types of hats are what come to mind for most when anyone mentions fishing hats. These types of hats are the ideal fishing hat combining a wide brim, a neck cape, floatation, chin strap and lots of venting to keep you cool. Additionally, these wide brimmed hats are ideal for travel. Whether you're on a safari in Africa or backpacking in the Smokey Mountains, these hats will protect you from the sun and make your activities that much more enjoyable.
Booney Hat: Sometimes thought of as a "hunting hat," there are many great booney hats on the market built just with the angler in mind. Most of these come in a light color to as to not soak up heat and have a wide brim to keep out the sun's rays. Some of the better versions are made of waterproof synthetic material that is breathable and lightweight.
Out of all the different styles and types of fishing hats on the market, a few key features make one hat better then the next.
Fishing hats come in a numerous range of sizes and styles. Owning a good quality fishing hat is an important addition to your fishing outfit, but what style you choose is a matter of personal choice. As long as the hat you choose covers the basics of being windproof, waterproof, and sun proof then you should be ready for any weather conditions you might encounter out on a days fishing.

Facebook started at Harvard and then spread to a very few other colleges early on. Eventually anyone with a university address could get an account, but they always kept an air of exclusivity.
When they opened their service up to everyone, they dropped this requirement and suddenly anyone could have an account. Yet, instead of failing, we all now know Facebook was a wild success.
Can their amazing growth be attributed to their exclusivity early on? What would have happened to a Facebook that was open to everyone?

EDUCATION support staff at Victoria's public schools have voted to join teachers and principals in a historic statewide strike next month.
They want to make Premier Ted Baillieu keep his pre-election promise to make them ''not the worst-paid [but] the best-paid teachers in Australia''.
On September 5, support staff will join teachers in the 24-hour strike, after more than 97 per cent of them voted to take protected industrial action.
Teachers' aides, IT staff and administrative workers will strike for the first time, joining teachers in walking off the job.
The strike by production staff will mean hundreds of the state's 1200 public schools will shut for the day.
Tens of thousands of teachers walked off the job in June in a statewide strike that shut down about 200 schools for the day.
Australian Education Union Victorian president Mary Bluett said the September 5 strike would see teachers and support staff gather at Rod Laver Arena this time - after a mass meeting of education workers was too big for a similar gathering held at the nearby Hisense Arena in June.
''Education support staff have never taken industrial action in Victoria's history, but are poised to do so because of the treatment by the Baillieu government,'' Ms Bluett said.
''The bulk of these people are very poorly paid,'' she said, with 43 per cent of support staff also with little job security because they were on short-term contracts rather than permanent employees.
Ms Bluett said she understood the strike would disadvantage some parents who would need to arrange for their children to be looked after for the day. But no teacher ever took industrial action lightly, she said, ''as evidenced by the fact that educational support staff have never done this before''.
Teachers are pushing for a 30 per cent pay increase over three years and a reduction of short-term contracts, while the government is offering a 2.5 per cent annual rise with further increases delivered through productivity gains.
A spokeswoman for the Baillieu government said the Coalition was disappointed the union had chosen to pursue another round of strike action.
The spokeswoman said the request by teachers for a 30 per cent pay increase over three years would be considered ''excessive'' by most Victorians, and if granted would cost taxpayers $14 billion.
