Highlights: Namibia (Windhoek, Sossusvlei, Swakopmund, Palmwag, Etosha)
In Namibia, time has less meaning, but everything else has so much more.
Your time in Namibia will have you question whether something so beautiful actually exists, or whether it's the best dream you've ever had. A photographer's delight, Namibia offers dramatic seascapes, majestic mountains, vast deserts, a profusion of wildlife and colonial cities that charm travelers of all ages. Experience the harsh beauty of the Namib Desert, with its endemic wildlife and ever-changing colors; cruise quaint harbors and blue lagoons in search of seals and Bottlenose dolphins that play more than swim; and track the magnificent white rhino on foot through Etosha National Park. In the evenings, relax in a mix of charming hotels, traditional tented camps and stylish game lodges that offer the opportunity to commune with the natural world around you.
Entering through a private gate into famed Sossusveli Reserve, explore the giant red dunes that have been continually forming for millions of years and try to make yourself believe you're still on planet Earth. Head for the idyllic coastal town of Swakopmund and stroll the pristine beaches, try paragliding, take a dolphin cruise, or just relax in a quaint coffee shop and watch the world go by. Visit the Torra Conservancy in Damaraland and roam the picturesque hills and valleys for a chance to glimpse zebra, giraffe, cheetah, springbok and black rhino. Continue on to Etosha National Park where games drives will get you up close and personal with elephants, lions and gemsbok. If you weren't questioning whether you were dreaming at the beginning of your trip, you will be by the end!
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.
Airport transfer with private vehicle, driver, and English-speaking guide.
Olive Grove is an upmarket establishment, situated close to the city centre in a quiet, peaceful area. It is the place to stay in Windhoek and whilst each room caters for every need of the most discerning traveller, their emphasis is one of simplicity and elegance. The inside lounge is tastefully decorated, with comfortable chairs and a welcoming fireplace. Each room has a large veranda with tables and chairs for al fresco dining. The open-air lounge, spa bath, plunge pool and tranquil garden all invite the visitor to unwind and relax under Namibia's open skies.
Enjoy a private transfer to/from the Windhoek airport for your flight.
Enjoy a short flight to Sossusvlei today.
Activities at Kulala start with morning guided drives to the spectacular towering dunes of Sossusvlei, through a private gate into the reserve. Sossusvlei is situated within the Namib Desert, the oldest desert in the world, which itself is part of the Namib Naukluft National Park that stretches 400km south of Walvis Bay and is sandwiched between the west coast and the escarpment that runs parallel more than 100km inland. Its huge dunes and flat valley floors make up the archetypical view of the Namib that is world famous.
Kulala Desert Lodge is located within the arid Namib Desert on the 37 000-hectare private Kulala Wilderness Reserve, and is closest to the iconic dunes of the Sossusvlei. Kulala Desert Lodge has a main area, lounge, bar, dining area, plunge pool, and wrap-around veranda overlooking the waterhole, which is a perfect location to view and photograph the desert vista. The overall setting is a true delight to the senses, bringing together the rhythm of Namibia, wholesome meals and intimacy. A waterhole in front of camp attracts a number of local wildlife (such as gemsbok, springbok, ostrich and jackal) and provides a perfect location to view and photograph the desert scenery. The staff and environment will ensure you get the true Namib Desert experience, with excellent service and stay you imagined.
Early this morning you'll meet up with other guests at the lodge for guided nature drive to the spectacular dunes of Sossusvlei. You'll go through a private gate on the Tsauchab River. World-famous Sossusvlei is an enormous clay pan, flanked by the famous red sand dunes that stand out starkly against the blue sky. These dunes have developed over millions of years, the wind continuously transforming the contours of this red sand sea. The 'vlei' itself only fills after rare heavy rainfall when, in a complete turn-around, it becomes a spectacular turquoise lake.
This afternoon you'll join others from the lodge for activities including nature walks, drives to scenic viewpoints and marveling at the unique Namib fauna and flora in the private Kulala Wilderness Reserve.
Enjoy a short flight to Swakopmund today.
Transfer to or from the airport.
This idyllic coastal town is the perfect location for walking tours, shopping, relaxing at a quaint coffee shop or along the sandy beaches. This being Namibia's playground, we also have a wide variety of activities on offer, ranging from dolphin cruises, desert tours and scenic flights to quad biking, paragliding, parachuting and kite surfing to mention but a few.
The four star Hansa Hotel is nestled in the centre of Swakopmund and offers easy access to everything the town has to offer. This classical building dates from 1905, and it is an integral part of the architectural heritage of the area. The Hansa has twice received the Best Hotel in Namibia Award and is also a 5 time winner of the Award of Excellence, a Golden Award of Excellence and a HAN Gold Award winner. The hotel has also been awarded the prestigious Diners Club Wine List Platinum Award, for outstanding selection and quality of it's wines. The Hansa Hotel offers you a feeling of being enveloped in a luxurious and sophisticated hospitality with a satisfying blend of both classic atmosphere and truly elegant interior, matched with friendly and personalized service.
Boat departs from Walvis Bay at 09h00 and cruises the harbour through to the Bird Island, and then cuts across the lagoon to Moored Russian trawlers where inquisitive seals will swim up to the boats for something to eat. From there we head for Pelican Point where entertainment is provided by a large Cape Fur Seal colony and pods of Heavyside- and Bottlenose dolphins swimming alongside the boats.For the bird lovers, apart from seeing flamingos, cormorants and pelicans, there are common sightings of the White Chinned Petrel, Wilson's Storm Petrel,Cape Gannet, Black Oystercatcher, and even the Jackass Penguin. At approximately 11h30, you will be dropped off on a deserted beach where your guide and 4 x 4 vehicle will meet you. But, first you will enjoy a light lunch of fresh oysters, snacks and champagne before departing for the magnificent scenery of the dunes and natural lagoon meeting the sea on route to Sandwich Harbour. Tour ends at approximately 17h00. Please note that while on the boat there may be other guests on board.
Take your flight from Swakopmund to Palamwag/Damaraland.
The 352 200ha Torra Conservancy lies in northern Damaraland, where the landscape is characterised by hills interspersed with valleys and dry riverbeds that occasionally flow, sustaining riverine vegetation through the long dry seasons. Early morning fog provides precious water to the flora and fauna, all of which has adapted superbly to this harsh environment. Despite its aridity, the area supports a surprisingly high diversity of wildlife including a healthy number of desert-adapted elephant and good populations of Hartmann's mountain zebra, southern giraffe, gemsbok, springbok, with occasional cheetah and black rhino as well interesting flora like euphorbias, pachypodiums and shepherd's trees. Birding is excellent with Herero Chat and Benguela Long-billed Lark common finds. The conservancy is the result of a highly successful partnership between Wilderness Safaris and the local Torra community - that has become an inspiration for communities and conservationists throughout Africa
The Desert Rhino Camp offers one of the most thrilling adventures to the intrepid explorer - an encounter with the astonishing desert-adapted black rhino. Set in the 450,000 hectare Palmwag Concession, which boasts the largest free-ranging population of black rhino in Africa, Desert Rhino Camp is a truly original and exclusive experience. Set amongst rolling, rocky hills with scattered euphorbia, ancient welwitschia plants, scrubby vegetation and isolated clumps of trees of the 450,000 hectare Palmwag Concession. This region is marked for its tranquil, minimalist beauty, surprising wealth of arid-adapted wildlife and the largest free roaming black rhino population in Africa.
Activities at Damaraland Camp revolve around exploring the Haub River system, featuring guided nature drives, walks and mountain biking. Morning and afternoon drives in search for desert-adapted elephant are a great favourite. Gemsbok, greater kudu, springbok, and occasionally lion, cheetah, elephants and black rhino can be spotted. Interesting flora such as euphorbias and shepherd's trees can be viewed on the way to some of Africa's best known rock engravings, including the famous Twyfelfontein etchings.
Today you'll fly from Damaraland to Etosha Park
Game drives and daytrips into the easily accessible Okaukuejo area of Etosha National Park are rewarding, with sightings of lion, elephant, gemsbok, springbok, red hartebeest, and white and black rhino. Guests at Ongava Lodge share a dedicated guide and Land Rover, ensuring the best possible nature experience at one of Africa's great wildlife destinations. The Ongava Game Reserve is unique in that it is one of the few private game reserves in southern Africa where there is a chance of seeing both black and white rhino. For those who enjoy close wildlife encounters, tracking white rhino on foot with a guide is a highlight not to be missed.
Stylish Ongava Lodge is situated along the southern boundary of Etosha National Park in the privately-owned Ongava Game Reserve. From its beautiful vantage point overlooking a waterhole and the plains beyond, one can enjoy a plethora of game that arrives to drink. Its proximity to the National Park makes it the ideal base for exploring Etosha's kaleidoscope of wildlife.
Activities at Ongava Camp revolve around day and night wildlife-viewing drives, visiting hides that overlook waterholes and walks with experienced guides. A hide at the camp waterhole provides superb photographic opportunities. The Ongava Game Reserve features all the characteristic wildlife of the area, with both desert-adapted black and white rhino to be seen as well as lion.
Today you'll fly from Etosha back to Windhoek.
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!!!

THE GOOD:The Samsung PND8000 series has outstanding overall picture quality, with excellent black-level performance, and the most accurate color of any TV we've ever reviewed. It can handle bright rooms well and exhibits the nearly perfect screen uniformity of plasma, as well as superb 3D picture quality. It includes two pair of 3D glasses, built-in Wi-Fi, and a comprehensive set of picture controls. The Smart Hub Internet portal boasts more apps and streaming services than the competition, along with a functional Web browser, and is easier to use thanks to the included dual-sided Bluetooth keyboard with a screen and QWERTY keyboard. The PND8000's design is one the most attractive of any plasma we've seen.
THE BAD:The relatively expensive PND8000 cannot produce full shadow detail or proper 1080p/24 cadence without sacrificing some black-level performance. Smart Hub lacks Amazon Instant, its search is next to useless, and its interface can be cluttered and confusing.
THE BOTTOM LINE:With picture quality that's nearly the equal of the tough competition, as well as best-in-class design and features, the Samsung PND8000 makes a strong case for being the best overall plasma TV of 2011.
For the last couple of years it has seemed that our job as TV reviewers comes down to determining which TV is better: the best Panasonic plasma or the best Samsung plasma. In 2011 the vessel bearing the Samsung flag is the PND8000, and while Panasonic's VT30 still deserves the nod for overall picture quality in our book, the Samsung is good enough to match the Panasonic's numeric Performance score of 9. The PND8000's picture quality is superb, and we don't expect any other TV aside from the VT30 to surpass it this year--although the less expensive PND7000 series, which we have yet to review, might equal it. The kicker, and it's a big one, is that the 59-inch Samsung PND8000 we reviewed actually costs less than the 55-inch Panasonic, while delivering a better design and even more features. Unless you're the pickiest of videophiles with the most unlimited of budgets, it's tough to justify the cost of the VT30 over the PND8000.
Series information: We performed a hands-on evaluation of the 59-inch Samsung PN59D8000, but this review also applies to the other screen sizes in the series. All sizes have identical specs and according to the manufacturer should provide very similar picture quality. That said, we've heard reports that the smaller 51-inch model may have worse black-level performance than the size we tested, although we won't know for sure until we can evaluate one ourselves.
Thinner than its Panasonic and LG counterparts and sporting a new, more compact frame around the screen, the D8000 series gets our vote for the best-looking plasma TV available. That bezel is narrower than any plasma's we've tested, outdoing the Panasonic GT30's by 0.19 inch. The bottom edge of the frame is a bit thicker (2.13 inches), but that does nothing to spoil the PND8000's LED TV-like dimensions.
Samsung differentiated the equal-sized D8000 and D7000 plasmas by coloring their metallic frames "titanium" and "brushed black," respectively. While both look plenty slick--especially with the company's trademark transparent edging--we slightly prefer the darker D7000. We also like the latter's stand better, with its rectangular base and transparent stalk. The D8000's chrome-colored spider stand is a great reason to get this TV wall-mounted.
Remote Control and menus
The remote included with Samsung's PND8000 and UND8000 is a flipper. The top side of the wedge-shaped rectangle offers standard TV controls that shoot infrared commands to the TV, while the bottom gets a full QWERTY keypad along with a screen, and works via Bluetooth (which doesn't need line-of-sight).
Unlike our experience with the UND8000, we had no trouble this time around pairing the clicker with the PND8000 (a necessary step to enable Bluetooth). According to Samsung, the pairing issue on the UN was due to a previous pairing performed before the review sample was sent to us; since we purchased our PN review sample directly from a merchant, rather than it being a sample sent by Samsung, its remote was never previously paired. We expect most users won't have any problems pairing.
We liked the clicker more than the QWERTY remotes included with Vizio's current models or Sony's Google TVs, but that's not saying much. The screen is its best feature, allowing you to see what you're typing without having to look up at the TV. Spacing and key action were improvements on the other two. Unlike the flipper found on Boxee, Samsung's can sense what side is "up" and automatically deactivate the "down" side to prevent accidental button presses.
While we appreciated the little thumb touch-cursor control better than Sony's when using the browser, it was still quite difficult to control. The lack of backlighting on the QWERTY side was a major flaw--using the remote in dim to no light ranged from annoying to impossible--and all told we actually liked using our Android phone as a remote best of all (see "Streaming and apps" below).
Samsung's new 2011 TV menus have been refreshed and also feel a bit snappier than before. The main column of adjustments, formerly transparent, is now bright opaque blue with rounded edges and good-size text. Each major menu item gets a text explanation and many are accompanied by helpful little illustrations.
As Samsung's highest-end plasma TV for 2011, the PND8000 comes equipped with the kitchen sink. The main step-up features compared with the less-expensive PND7000 are the remote described above, the ability to interface with the optional Skype camera, a Web browser, and a performance-related feature called Local Contrast Enhancer (LCE).
A Samsung representative described LCE to us as an enhancement to the dynamic contrast control that automatically optimizes contrast separately for different areas of the picture. We generally leave dynamic contrast disabled to avoid such on-the-fly fluctuations as much as possible, so we don't consider LCE an improvement to picture quality.
Unlike some previous Samsung plasmas, the D8000 is missing dejudder--and we couldn't care less. If you're a fan of its smoothing effect and still want a plasma, however, Panasonic has added the option to its 2011 models.
Samsung doesn't include the two pairs of 3D glasses mentioned above, model SSG-3100GB, in the TV's box, but buyers of the PND8000 (and other 2011 Samsung 3D TVs) who don't receive glasses at the time of purchase can use Samsung's dedicated Web site to claim them. Samsung is still the only company to make such an offer; Panasonic, for example, only includes one pair of glasses, and that's only on its most expensive model, the TC-PVT30 series. According to Samsung its promotion will continue through June 25, although we expect a similar one to continue after that date.
The PND8000 is incompatible with Samsung's 2010 3D glasses. Bluetooth does make the new glasses easier to use, though, since they keep sync much better than the old infrared versions did.
We applaud the inclusion of built-in Wi-Fi on this Samsung (as well as the D7000 and D6500 plasmas), saving the cost and hassle of the $80 USB dongle.
Streaming and apps
Even without Yahoo, Samsung's Smart Hub seems to offer more apps than the competition. The only major missing link so far is Amazon Instant, available on Sony, Panasonic, and LG TVs.
Smart Hub is basically the same as we described on the UND6400 and on Samsung's Blu-ray players, so check out those write-ups for details. We found its interface somewhat crowded and the Search and Your Video functions, while ambitious, disappointing since neither incorporated apps like Netflix and Hulu Plus. On the plus side we liked the ability to customize our favorites area with folders--especially the ability to dump unwanted but unremovable shortcuts, like AllShare and Channel, into a folder.
Samsung's Web browser is superior to the browser in Sony's EX720 or the PS3, but not as good as Google TV's. It's fine for light use and viewing most Web pages, although complex ones (Gmail) and videos caused it to slow down, crash, or lose functionality. We tried loading Hulu.com, for example, and it simply didn't work, but reading a review on CNET was easy enough...although the video played only sound. The little pointer on the remote was a pain to use but better than tabbing around, while response times and load times were slow in general.
Samsung's remote app on our Android phone worked quite well, with excellent response times and most of the functionality we wanted. We liked the easy access to apps and the ability to input text searches using the Swype keyboard, but its best feature is changing context according to what you're doing--hitting the Smart tab, for example, brought up a simplified interface that we actually preferred to Smart Hub on the TV. Sure you have to look at the touch screen, as opposed to feeling your way with the remote buttons, but all told we liked using it better than the QWERTY remote included with the TV.
New apps launched since we reviewed the UND8000 in April include Fandango (unfortunately it lacked features found in the Vizio version, such as local theater showtimes and the ability to purchase tickets directly), Gymbox (workout videos, albeit only 3-minute previews are free), and games including Pac-Man ($4.99), Extreme Hangman, and Speed Racer ($2.99 each).
Picture settings
As usual Samsung provides one of the best suites of picture adjustments for both 2D and 3D sources, delivering extras like a 10-point grayscale and superb color management that many TVs lack. There's also a CinemaSmooth setting in the Film Mode menu that engages a 96Hz refresh rate to properly handle 1080p/24 sources at the expense of some black-level performance (see below).
When this review was first posted we wrote that picture settings can't be adjusted in Netflix, but that's incorrect. Calling up the Tools menu and then pressing the main menu button brings up picture adjustments in Netflix. Vudu's picture can also be adjusted, although we didn't try other services.
3D settings are the same as last year, and provide plenty of control as well. You can use the 2D-to-3D conversion system with streaming services and other sources, if you want.
Like other thin TVs, the D8000 is light on analog connections and those it does have require breakout cables (included). We'd like to see a headphone jack, but the third USB port might make up for the lack if you're using the Wi-Fi dongle and you like to stream media via USB.
Samsung's PND8000 is the best Samsung plasma we've ever tested, and the third-best of all time after the Kuro and the Panasonic VT30. Its black-level performance was very good, with the ability to produce extremely deep blacks, although it failed to resolve full shadow detail--and properly reproduce 1080p/24--when calibrated for those deep blacks. Color after calibration was, simply put, as close to perfect as we've seen on any TV, bright-room and 3D picture quality were excellent, and of course it trounced any LCD in terms of uniformity and off-angle viewing.
The 59-inch version we tested was even a hair quieter (with less audible buzzing) than last year's 50-inch PN50C8000, which itself was quiet enough that we doubt any viewer would find it irksome.
As usual we found Movie to be the most accurate of Samsung's preset picture modes, with very good gamma and color--although it measured a bit too bright for dim rooms (47 fL) with a grayscale that went from too blue in dark areas to too red in brighter ones. Thanks to Samsung's excellent user-menu controls we were able to achieve near-perfect calibration that's as close to reference as anything we've ever seen (check out the chart below). In fact it surpassed the color and gamma accuracy and linearity of our Pioneer Kuro, and we intend to use the D8000 as a reference display for color going forward.
For our evaluation we watched "Tron: Legacy" on Blu-ray and compared the Samsung with the following displays.
Black level
After the Panasonic TC-P55VT30, the Pioneer Kuro, and the Vizio XVT553SV, the Samsung PND8000 delivered the deepest black levels among our comparison models. It's easily the best non-Panasonic/Pioneer plasma we've tested in this category, getting twice as dark as the PN50C7000 and also outclassing the TC-P50GT30. As usual those deep blacks had a positive impact on many aspects of picture quality, creating the vibrant, high-contrast picture that we expect from the very best plasmas.
The black-level difference between the VT30, PND8000, and GT30 was relatively subtle even side by side in a dark room, but watching dark scenes we ended up ranking them first, second, and third place respectively among the non-Kuros. The Samsung's main issue was a lack of subtle details in some deep shadows. In "Tron" at the 12:51 and 13:05 marks, for example, Sam's black vest and the guard's black pants appeared a bit less detailed, respectively, than on our reference displays. We saw similar differences in some other shadowy areas, such as in the jungle from "Avatar" we cited in the VT30 review. The Panasonics in comparison showed full detail, albeit a bit brighter than reference, but overall we liked the look of dark areas better on the VT30.
As usual we could have sacrificed some black level on the D8000 to achieve better shadow detail, but we preferred the look of the deeper blacks. Since our gamma measurements were excellent, and we used the same test patterns and methods to set brightness and other controls affecting shadow detail, we suspect the TV might be performing some sort of on-the-fly adjustment to contrast despite our having disabled the Auto Contrast feature (and presumably LCE; see Key Features above). We can't say definitively one way or the other, however, and we noticed no other ill effects.
We also kept an eye out for "floating blacks"--an artifact in which the level of black changes abruptly enough to notice along with the brightness of the rest of the picture--but we didn't see it in "Tron" or in the close-up scenes from "I Am Legend" (Chapter 3). The D8000 does "turn off" and display a completely black image when the picture content goes dark for long enough, but this never happened during normal-length fade-outs in Movie mode in our experience.
These observations were made (and our calibration was performed) with Film Mode on the PND8000 set to Off, not CinemaSmooth. That's because CS caused a relatively large loss in black level, from 0.0071 to 0.0114 by our measure. The picture also dimmed slightly from 40fL to about 36fL, although of course a tweak to calibration (perhaps at the further expense of black level) could remedy that. See "Video processing" for more details.
Color Accuracy
As we mentioned above, color was the PND8000's greatest strength and this plasma is our new reference for color accuracy. Program material bore out the excellent measurement results we achieved in calibration. In Chapter 3 (15:30) of "Tron," for example, the skin tones of Sam and Alan appeared realistic and natural without the slight green tinge of the Panasonics or the generally grayer, less saturated appearance of the LG and PNC8000. In this scene and others, we ended up preferring the color rendition of the PND8000 to that of the Kuro by a nose, although the latter appeared more saturated thanks to its deeper blacks.
The color of near-black areas was superb on the PND8000 as well, easily outdoing the others aside from the VT30, which measured a hair better at 5 percent--although the difference was tough to discern, even in our side-by-side comparison.
Video processing
While the PND8000 has the ability to handle 1080p/24 sources with proper cadence thanks to its CinemaSmooth mode (hence the "Pass" in the Geek Box below), we didn't take advantage of it. That's because engaging CS caused black levels to worsen as noted above. We asked a Samsung rep about this black-level rise and he mentioned that it was due to the need to cycle the phosphors more quickly to achieve the 96Hz refresh rate required.
In our test clip of the flyover of the Intrepid from "I Am Legend," the difference between CinemaSmooth and Off was subtle but obvious. In the former mode the movement of objects in the frame has a regular cadence, smooth but not too smooth, that we associate with film. In the latter the cadence stuttered slightly with a sort of hitching motion characteristic of 2:3 pull-down. Such differences won't be as apparent in most scenes, but sticklers who want to see the true motion of film at all times will engage CS to the detriment of black levels on this TV. The Panasonic plasmas handle film cadence without black-level loss, although each also necessitates a minor trade-off to achieve it.
As with previous Samsungs the default Auto2 Film Mode setting for 1080i sources didn't result in proper deinterlacing; we had to switch to Auto 1 to get the PND8000 to pass that Geek Box test.
Bright lighting
Compared with the VT30 the D8000's screen was a bit less reflective, doing a better job of dimming ambient highlights when we turned on the lights. While it did a worse job of preserving black levels under bright lights, it was still very good in that area (and better than any of the other plasmas in the room). We ended up slightly preferring the bright-room picture of the Samsung, but the two were very close.
The PND8000 handled a full-resolution PC signal at 1,920x1,080 pixels, but we noticed some softness and interference in high-frequency test patterns and text. Still, its VGA performance was among the best we've seen for plasma TVs.
The PND8000 is a very good 3D performer. It outperformed the two Panasonics at reducing crosstalk; only the UND8000 LED (which replaced the Vizio in our lineup for 3D tests) was better.
We're able to cite a few examples from "Tron." The word "1989" appearing in the intro (1:28) and the white pattern on Quorra's chest in the mirror (1:04:00) were both instances where the PND8000 showed fainter crosstalk images than the VT30 (the UND8000 was better than either). The two plasmas were basically the same in most other scenes we compared, such as the uniform sequence in Chapter 5 and the beginning of the meal scene in Chapter 9, and very close overall.
Between Movie mode on the Samsung PND8000 and THX mode on the VT30 we preferred the look of the Panasonic. It had better color accuracy to our eye, and skin tones and color looked a bit oversaturated on the Samsung. The Samsung's Movie did look a bit brighter and punchier, but it also seemed a bit too crisp and somewhat edge-enhanced, and had a bluish color palette. We assume the difference could be narrowed in calibration, but we don't calibrate for 3D at the moment.
Power consumption
We did not test the power consumption of this size in the Samsung PNC8000 series, but we did test the 59-inch model. For more information, refer to the review of the Samsung PN59D8000.

ZOOLANDER: Life's a zoo for Lanvin's Alber Elbaz — or for the holiday period at least. Thursday night, the designer and window dresser extraordinaire, sporting a silk scarf sling for a minor arm injury, was spotted putting the finishing tweaks on the Christmas window displays at Lanvin's Paris flagship on the Faubourg Saint-Honoré. Framed by strings of colored bulbs, an orange-wigged-and-eyelashed plastic kangaroo occupies one window, draped in Lanvin necklaces and bags ahoy, while a mannequin next door sprawls across the back of a stuffed tiger, its glassy stare greeting window-shoppers. "My team has been working on this all day, and then my role is to come in and un-perfect what is perfect," said Elbaz, striking a pose with a parrot before moving to another window. "Stuffed animals, toy animals, Christmas trees — anything goes. I love to see the kids — not just the fashionistas — admiring the windows," he continued, patting the rear end of a giant toy elephant, the chef d'oeuvre that fills the main window with her calf, both festooned with feather boas, pearl strands and Lanvin sparklers.

CoolIT System has a bunch of new CPU and GPU coolers. They are showing a full range of new coolers for the CPU, starting with the ECO A.L.C. which now places the pump right into the cooling base, increasing compatibility with cases. The unit has an MSRP of $74.99 and should be available now. The next step up is the Vantage A.L.C, which incorporates a display and all the electronics on the CPU bracket. The LCD is a programmable 84x48 pixel screen with a dynamic, custom color backlight and 2.4 GHz wireless communication module. Two buttons on the Vantage module provides a user interface for optimizing all chassis fan speeds, RGB case lighting, LCD Backlight color along with monitoring and alarm triggers. The Vantage also features the so called ESP (Extra Sensory Peripherals) wireless technology which enables the cooler to be controlled and monitored through CoolIT's Maestro software and USB wireless controller. On the GPU cooling front, we got a good look at the OMNI A.L.C. This unit has the same wireless system and features interchangable plates between the water block and GPU. This means that you can simply exchange the this plate when upgrading your graphics card.
All these look pretty good. the CPU coolers are much much better tehn the ALC by the looks of things. Push/pull setup without modding fora start.
I would too if they had dual 12cm rad on there. They look really good and am excited by the price and also the gpu cards. Hopefully the GPU coolers are cheap as well.
I think they may do actually, could be tripping balls mind you. I'll go check on their website, unless you do it first
OMNI seems interesting, if the baseplates are cheap. Something like that I could stick on one of the top ventilation holes and it wouldn't interfere with anything else. If they keep the ECO price on OMNI it'll become a tempting option with all of 'em HOT cards. edit: price wasn't for OMNI 240mm rad too (these might become a hit): OMNI A.L.C. packages are available for a number of current graphics cards in 120mm radiator and 240mm radiator variations. Pricing varies with each graphics card type. http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/news...it-reveals-eco-vantage-omni-maestro-products/
Looks interesting... it's only a matter of time until we see prebuilt WC kits that compete with custom.
Actually most of them do Its just you don't often see people using a 120 rad , certainly not of that thickness for their cpu. I tend to find most people get atleast a double. These would compete with a 120 thin rad custom system gota compare apples to apples after all. And price to price.
You're absolutely right. I'm a little confused as to how the GPU cooler works... am I supposed to hook it up to the rad/fan as shown in the bottom left picture? If so I'm all over it. Edit: Actually, where the hell have I see that concept? I remember seeing something like that in the news section a long time ago..
Precisely like that, seems like a very good idea from domino to have interchangeable plates. if it works.
Wonder how's the bottom of that CPU cooler as it's pictured no where, but all in all looks damn cool and simple way to get basic water cooling. Although, how the heck it's a water anything while it's using fan.
Do not buy these. I had my ALC explode, yes I said explode like a wine bottle. These use the same housing and tube that the ALC uses.
All water cooling setups require fans to draw heat off the radiator. Well what's your definition of extreme?
Has anyone come across any reviews yet for the Eco or the Vantage? Can't find freakin any, i need to decide soon, will prolly just get the H50.

Hockey is a fast-paced physical sport popular throughout Europe and North America and particularly in Canada. Although the game was traditionally played outdoors on frozen ponds, it is now played almost exclusively in indoor arenas with the exception of a select few outdoor events such as the Winter Classic and Heritage Classic annual outdoor games. There are many different hockey leagues throughout the world but the most popular leagues with the highest degree of talent are the National Hockey League (NHL), the American Hockey League (AHL), the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL), the Elitserien or Swedish Elite League (SEL) and Finland's SM-Liiga. Major-junior hockey is also very popular throughout Canada with the three junior leagues, the Western Hockey League (WHL), the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) and the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) together forming the world's largest junior hockey program, the Canadian Hockey League (CHL).
The current 2012-13 season could become one of the most pivotal years in the history of hockey due to the current lockout that has put a hold on the NHL season. With the NHL currently locked out, the other major hockey leagues are benefitting from an influx of all-star talent as NHL players are looking for a place to play while labor negotiations continue. The KHL, considered the rival league of the NHL and the second best hockey league in the world, is more than happy to welcome home Russian superstars such as Evgeni Malkin, Alexander Ovechkin and Pavel Datsyuk along with a strong cast of non-Russian players such as Nicklas Backstrom and Zdeno Chara. The other European leagues have also seen a steady influx of NHLers joining although some leagues, such as the SEL, have placed restrictions to limit the amount of NHL players allowed to join each team.
Although most NHL superstars have taken their talents overseas or decided to take the time off, it is the AHL that could be the biggest beneficiary of the ongoing lockout. With many North American hockey-starved fans craving professional hockey in their own markets and time-zones, the AHL is poised to have a breakout year. As the primary development league for the NHL, the AHL has recently seen young NHL stars such as Taylor Hall, Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Jordan Eberle join their respective farm teams in the AHL, boosting the league's overall talent considerably. Furthermore, with the absence of the NHL, the AHL is currently the only professional hockey league in North America and many die-hard NHL fans are following the league more closely than ever to track the progress of their favorite team's young players and prospects.

"Why did it have to be snakes....I hate snakes." -IJ
That's pretty crazy.
Some dens have a few hundred snakes in them.
I think your buddy pulled a fast one on you, JT.
You just look at it and say: If I were a Hulkamaniac, I'd body-slam it!
Awesome photo!! I think snakes are beautiful!!
not my originals. tried to find photog for credit, but all I got is many friends removed and location near golder ranch rd (catalina state park area). doubt it's wyoming, but certainly could be somewhere else. regardless, a spectacular labyrinth of vipers! and yes mark, 'body-slam it!' was the first thing that came to mind.
'Bear Grylls' would have a feast here!
Herp geek addition: these appear to be Crotalus viridis viridis (common prairie rattlesnake). I suspect these were photographed either in colorado or southern wyomoing. what does this have to do with climbing? oh yeah, watch that next hand hold!!!!
Wow... all my ex girlfriends at one party.
Add white gas, and match. Repeat as needed.
judging by how fat they are, i would guess they are from mississipi.
Tea, Which part the whole "natural eco system" don't you understand. If I ever run into you on a trail suffering from a snake bite, I hope you don't mind if I walk on by. Stay in the concrete jungle were you belong.
easy tuffcakes.....it was a joke.
This wasn't taken anywhere near the Catalinas. It was taken near Kingman. I've see it used for other areas too.
Looks like a good place to stomp around
really, where was this picture taken?
I'm pretty sure I've seen this photo floating around on the internet with the caption, "Where a newborn Chuck Norris found his baby rattle."

The Security Council unanimously approved a resolution Saturday expanding the number of U.N. cease-fire observers in Syria from 30 to 300 and demanding an immediate halt to the violence that has been escalating since the government and opposition agreed to end hostilities more than a week ago.
The resolution is the first authorizing unarmed U.N. military observers to go into a conflict area, and it gives Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon authority to decide when to deploy the additional monitors, based on developments on the ground including "the consolidation of the cease-fire.''
Ban accused Syrian President Bashar Assad on Thursday of failing to honor the cease-fire, expressing dismay that increased violence is claiming more lives. In a statement Saturday from his spokesman welcoming adoption of the resolution, the U.N. chief again demanded that Syria end all violence and "the gross violations of the fundamental rights of the Syrian people,'' and send its troops and heavy weapons back to their barracks.
The resolution establishes a United Nations Supervision Mission in Syria, to be known as UNSMIS, "comprising an initial deployment of up to 300 unarmed military observers as well as an appropriate civilian component'' for an initial period of 90 days to monitor the cessation of violence and the implementation of international envoy Kofi Annan's six-point peace plan.
The resolution merged rival Russian and European texts and dropped a European threat of non-military sanctions against Syria if it fails to withdraw troops and heavy weapons from towns and cities. Instead, it uses language from the resolution adopted last Saturday authorizing deployment of the 30-strong advance team of observers which expresses the council's intention to assess implementation of the new resolution "and to consider further steps.''

In this lifetime on this plain of existence the laws of the universe are set so that every thing happens for reason. Moments, meetings, opportunity are not predestined but created by everyone of us. Energetically we all give presence to the things that happen in our world, whether we know it or not and whether we decided to do something about what we see is also a responsibility all our own. Every thing is connected inside and out meaning health is a universal goal not only should the 5 senses we can measure be exercised and kept healthily working but even the ones we can measure the senses that are mysterious. How do we find these mysterious senses and make them healthy the first step is self education, you must know yourself and the rest will become known.

Real-life Barbie creates Internet sensation
what's interesting is this statement:
Lukyanova lashed out at the media, claiming she got her Barbie body by eating raw foods, working hard, abstaining from booze and having "good genes."
please note that there was never any intention to post this discussion as a promotion or endorsement of rawfoods (that's one reason it's in the off topic category). i merely found the items above as interesting. thx to daniel's comment which encouraged me to put this disclaimer up. daniel also found a statement by her saying she eats only fruits because she loves all living things:
in friendship,
Tags: barbie
i reproduced the part of the quote that is relevant to what her current diet consists of. the full quote can be seen in my post in the first page, along a few of her other quotes.
disclaimer: i didn't know back then that she had made surgeries to attain her current looks. i must say i never liked her physical appearance from the beginning, but i had previously though that that was just her natural appearance. i think one cannot deny she's a splendid vocalist,though. a strangely curious creature, that is. truly very odd! but if you look at so many people around, you will see they are also so strange. best not to get too involved with this, i think.
prad, please listen to what she says.
she may be lost, but she is a very beautiful and profound being who says some beautiful and profound things.
or am i hallucinating???
i've only looked at what is in that article briefly.
if you have more information to present here, i'll be happy to look at it.
(i just don't have the time to go around the web finding things about her, though i did listen to her singing).
in friendship,
Interesting! She seems very trippy. lol. I'll probably check her out tomorrow.

NetApp on Wednesday said it agreed to acquire CacheIQ, a developer of flash storage technology that supports non-disruptive operations in enterprise data centers.
Nick Noviello, CFO and executive vice president of finance at NetApp, told CRN that CacheIQ is a small developer of intellectual property related to data mobility, with just a few employees and a small revenue. He declined to give specifics.
"This is a very small company," Noviello said. "We can keep going with their current path, or add it to our products."
[Related: NetApp Intros Software To Manage Multivendor PCIe Flash-Based Storage]
However, Noviello declined to provide details about the technology CacheIQ brings to NetApp.
Tom Georgens, president and CEO, said at NetApp's second fiscal 2013 financial conference call that CacheIQ should be thought of as more of a technology "tuck-in" than as a provider of stand-alone technology.
The CacheIQ website was already taken down except for a note asking visitors to contact NetApp for more information.
However, cached press releases available online from CacheIQ refer to the Austin, Texas-based company's development of the RapidCache, a NAS acceleration appliance.
In a September 2012 press release, RapidCache was described as an "intelligent NAS acceleration appliance that delivers unmatched performance to I/O-intensive applications."
RapidCache "identifies the most active dataset by analyzing the network flow between clients and file servers and serves it directly from its local DRAM and SSDs, vastly improving the performance of files in greatest demand. RapidCache users can further optimize NAS cache behavior by using CacheIQ's unique policy engine to set caching rules based on business criticality and usage patterns," according to the press release.
RapidCache uses simple policies to determine what data gets cached to its DRAM and SSD tier to improve the performance for important applications, and offers a fully-integrated analytics and visualization software to give storage administrators the ability to access network storage performance and troubleshoot problems quickly and efficiently.
The Austin Business Journal on Wednesday reported that CacheIQ was founded in 2010 and had 14 employees in 2011.
CacheIQ in 2010 purchased the intellectual property of Austin, Texas-based Storspeed. The company in 2011 finished a Series A round of financing from 27 angel investors, and in July it received $3.8 million of a planned $4.3 million financing round, the Austin Business Journal reported.
Terms of NetApp's acquisition of CacheIQ were not released.

In order to avoid some of the comments I would otherwise get let me just say that I know floppies are old technology and I know there are better, newer alternatives. The last two computers I built did not have floppy drives but I still have a collection of old floppies in boxes that go back over 25 years. I just built a new computer and decided it would be nice to have a floppy drive again to read all of those old disks and save anything of any value before I throw them out or sell them on ebay.
When I could not get the drive to read after installing Mint I decided to install XP to test it. The drive works just fine under XP and I was not only able to read the drive but I used XP to format a boot disk so that I can boot from the A: drive if I want to. My point here is that the drive itself seems to work. It appears to be installed correctly, the BIOS sees it, and OS's from the corporation that must not be named can read and write from it.
After putting together a system with components that should work just fine with Linux I did a clean install of Mint 9. The floppy drive shows up in Computer. When I right click to "Mount" the floppy the drive light briefly comes on and it makes a click sound but then displays the message "Unable to mount location – no media in the drive". Choosing "Detect Media" also accesses the drive but does nothing. The system seems to be aware of the floppy or it wouldn't show up but I cant actually get to the disk. This is the same disk I read, and then formated as a boot. Formated and read in this very drive by the way.
I have searched for a couple of days mostly including Ubuntu in the search. I tried all of the suggestions I could find but none of them have worked for me. Most of what I found was older so that may have something to do with it. What may have worked on the mid 2000's may not now apply to Ubuntu 10.04 or Linux Mint 9.
If anyone has a floppy working with either Mint 9 or Ubuntu 10.04 I would really appreciate knowing what to do. I am not very skilled so I need exact steps to follow.
