Arrive in Johannesburg any time and make your way to the joining point hotel. A brief departure meeting will be held in the hotel reception area in evening on Day 1 of your tour. Upon arrival look for information from your tour leader on the hotel bulletin board regarding the meeting time (approx 6-7pm). Our starting hotel is located outside of the city of Johannesburg, but take some time on an optional excursion to Soweto or to the famous Apartheid Museum. George Harrison discovered gold near present-day Johannesburg in March 1886 on the Witwatersrand. Surveyors were instructed by the government to lay this farm out as a future town. They completed their work on 03 Dec 1886. The name Johannesburg was written for the first time on their plans of streets and stands. Only five days after the completion of the survey the first 986 stands were auctioned, and the first building to be erected was a corrugated iron hut. Within 12 months, Johannesburg was the second largest town in Transvaal, and by the middle 1890s there were 20 separate mining companies working from headquarters in Johannesburg. The Transvaal government granted Johannesburg municipal status in 1897. Later, the city became almost deserted with the advent of the Anglo-Boer war on 11 Oct 1899, as trainloads of refugees fled. Johannesburg was placed under martial law, to protect the existing claims. After the war, the labour shortage led to a proposed suggestion to import Chinese labour. The first load of 1055 Chinese labourers arrived in 1904. By 1905 they numbered 46,895. In December of 1905 the British liberal party ( who just won the national elections) suspended the Chinese recruitment. Between 1903 and 1997, 55,877 miners had been killed in mine accidents. In the same period 47,229 tons of gold had been produced. Johannesburg officially became a city in 1928, and by 1960 it had more than 1 million inhabitants. Today, Johannesburg is fondly known as eGoli, or place of gold.
Approximate Distance: 524 km Estimated Travel Time: 8 hrs Today's travel takes us through a very desolate part of central-eastern Botswana. We cross into Botswana and finish the day at the Khama Rhino Sanctuary, a unique community-based initiative in wildlife conservation. The Khama Rhino Sanctuary is centred around the Serowe Pan, a large grass-covered depression with several natural water holes and covering about 4,3000 hectares of Kalahari sandveld. The Sanctuary lies 25km north of Serowe, one of the largest traditional villages in Africa. The Khama Rhino Sanctuary was started by a group of Serowe residents in 1989 who had conceived the idea of a wildlife reserve near Serowe. It was established to safe-guard both the white and black rhino population, which had been severely depleted by indiscriminate poaching. This area was chosen as it was an excellent habitat for rhinos, and because of its central location close to a Botswana Defence Force base, which was to provide 24-hour protection for sanctuary. In 1995, a 28 km electric fence and this was completed, and all the rhinos were released and now roam freely within the sanctuary. Serowe is one of the largest and most attractive villages in Botswana, and the traditional home of the paramount chiefs of the Ngwato people. The Khama III Memorial Museum houses memorials to the Khama family along with historical artefacts and interesting local sculpture. Thathaganyane Hill at Serowe is a National Monument and royal cemetery set on a rocky enclave with sweeping views. A local business venture manufactures and promotes arts and crafts for the tourist market. Serowe is also well known for high quality basketry. Serowe is also the birth place of Botswana's first President, Seretse Khama. Maun, although officially still a village, is the fifth largest town in Botswana. It is an eclectic mix of modern buildings and native huts. Maun is the "tourism capital" of Botswana and the administrative centre of Ngamiland district. Maun has developed rapidly from a rural frontier town and has spread along the Thamalakane River. It now boasts good shopping centres, hotels and lodges as well as car and 4-wheel drive vehicle hire. It still retains a rural atmosphere and local tribesmen continue to bring their cattle to Maun to sell. This community is now distributed along the wide banks of the Thamalakane River where red lechwe can still be seen grazing next to local donkeys, goats and cattle.
After one night in Maun and leaving some of our luggage in Maun, we begin our exciting 2 day/1 night excursion into the delta as we drive about 1-2 hours (depending on which dock we go to) to the "dock" where we hop into a mokoro, a traditional dug-out canoe, that'll take us deep into the delta. After a couple hours in mokoro, we arrive to our basic "bush camp". Please note that there will be no shower for those two days but you will be compensated by the incredible landscape (we recommend you bring a 5l bottle of water into the Delta, for drinking and cleaning purposes). For 1 1/2 days, enjoy game walks, mokoros (occasionally unavailable due to seasonality), birdlife and game viewing in the pristine wilderness area of the Okavango Delta, the world's largest inland delta. Don't forget to bring a book with you as there is plenty of time in between the early morning and afternoon game drive where you relax at your camp, read a book or have a nap. In the evenings count the shooting stars, sing with the locals or just unwind and enjoy your sundowner and sit around the campfire. "Where all this water goes is a mystery", Aurel Schultz, 1897 The area of the delta was once part of Lake Makgadikgadi, an ancient lake that dried up some 10,000 years ago. Today, the Okavango River has no outlet to the sea. Instead, it empties onto the sands of the Kalahari Desert, irrigating 15,000 km_ of the desert. Each year some 11 cubic kilometers of water reach the delta. Some of this water reaches further south to create Lake Ngami. The water entering the delta is unusually pure, due to the lack of agriculture and industry along the Okavango River. It passes through the sand aquifers of the numerous delta islands and evaporates/transpirates by leaving enormous quantities of salt behind. This precipitation processes are so strong that the vegetation disappears in the center of the islands and thick salt crusts are formed. The waters of the Okavango Delta are subject to seasonal flooding, which begins about mid-summer in the north and six months later in the south (May/June). The water from the delta is evaporated relatively rapidly by the high temperatures, resulting in a cycle of cresting and dropping water in the south. Islands can disappear completely during the peak flood, then reappear at the end of the season.
Approximate Distance: 200 km Estimated Travel Time: 3 hrs from Maun. Enjoy one last sunrise over the Delta, get up early for your last game walk, set out on foot to explore the delta area in search of game. Cruise back down the crystal clear channels of the Okavango Delta. We return to Maun to our overland vehicle and continue our journey to Gweta. When the rain comes, it brings life to the pans, as it fills just a few centimetres awaking the dormant fish and aquatic shrimps from the mud. The surrounding grasslands also team with life and are home to an impressive number of antelope that attract a wide variety of predators. Makgadikgadi Pans National park is situated 162 km east of Maun and 143 km west of Nata (to the left of the Makgadikgadi pans). It was declared a game reserve in 1970, but in December 1992 it was enlarged and declared a national park. Today it comprises 4900 square km. It was initially state land. Although it is totally devoid of any water, people used to live there before it was declared state land. Villagers where allowed to graze their livestock inside the boundaries during dry season. As the largest expanse of 'nothingness' on earth, the pans have an area the size of Switzerland, and are clearly visible from outer-space. What is known today as the Makgadikgadi Pans is only a relic of what used to be one of the biggest inland lakes Africa has ever seen-Lake Makgadikgadi. The Makgadikgadi pan consists of two main pans, Namely Ntwetwe and Sowa pan, both of which are surrounded by myriad smaller pans. Although it is totally devoid of any water, people used to live there before it was declared state land. Villagers where allowed to graze their livestock inside the boundaries during dry season. Day 6: Approximate Distance: 200 km Estimated Travel Time: 3 hrs We stay at Elephant Sands tonight. It is well known for the Elephants that roam the area and they even get into the camp for a quick drink of water out of the swimming pool. We leave our overland vehicle and hop onto open safari vehicles which will lead us to our basic bush camp for the night (approx 45 minutes on open safari vehicles). Enjoy your dinner in the middle of the bush tonight. Tonight is non-participating, which means you can relax, unwind and enjoy the sunset in middle of the bush, truly an unforgettable experience. There will be no shower tonight and only a basic "dig-out toilet but with proper seating" but you will be compensated by the incredible landscape. Enjoy an included conservation walk tonight.
Approximate Distance: 324 km Estimated Travel Time: 5 hrs Cross the Zambezi River to enter into Zambia and continue to Livingstone. We will spend the next two days of our tour here, a great base to see both some natural wonders and take part in some exciting activities. Get up close (and wet from the spray) while awing at the immense Victoria Falls, raft the whitewater of the mighty Zambezi, for the more adventurous, bungee jump with the Victoria Falls in view. David Livingstone was born on March 19, 1813 in the village of Blantyre, South Lanarkshire, Scotland. He first studied Greek, medicine, and theology at the University of Glasgow and while working in London, joined the London Missionary Society became a minister. He originally planned to gain access to China through his medical knowledge. The Opium Wars, which were raging at this stage with no signs of peace on the horizon, forced Livingstone to consider other options. From 1840 he worked in Bechuanaland (present-day Botswana), and in the period 1852–56, he explored the African interior, and was the first European to see the Mosi-oa-Tunya waterfall (which he renamed Victoria Falls after his monarch, Queen Victoria). Livingstone was one of the first Westerners to make a transcontinental journey across Africa. The purpose of his journey was to open the routes, while accumulating useful information about the African continent. In particular, Livingstone was a proponent of trade and Christian missions to be established in central Africa. His motto, inscribed in the base of the statue to him at Victoria Falls, was "Christianity, Commerce and Civilization." The town of Livingstone is a regional transport center, being located near the borders of Botswana and Zimbabwe, and serves as a base for the many visitors to see this part of Africa, and the impressive Victoria Falls, a mere 12km from Livingstone. The Victoria Falls waterfalls occur in a country that is perfectly flat. From its source on the borders of the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Zambezi River meanders for 1300 km across the wooded plateau of Zambia, eroding for itself a shallow valley on its mild descent to the site of the falls. The river eventually found a weak spot on the lower lip of the surface over which it passed, and forced a passage which was steadily deepened into an exit gorge. During the last half million years the river has scoured out eight of these cracks across its bed. The Victoria falls occurs where the river is 1688 m wide, presents the spectacle of an average maximum of 550 million liters of water a minute tumbling over the lip of the trench in five main falls, the Devil's Cataract, Main falls, Horseshoe Falls, Rainbow falls and the Eastern Cataract. The highest of these is Rainbow falls, on an average 108 m high. A peak flood sees 750 million liters of water in one minute hurtling over the falls. The name Zambezi comes from the Tonka tribe, also meaning Great River, but the Sotho-speaking Kololo people of the upper reaches of the river gave it the well-known name of Mosi o a Thunya (smoke that rises). The Lozi people call it by the same name but translated it into smoke that sounds. The Ndebele call it aManza Thunqayo (the water that rises like smoke). The Namibian people call it Chinotimba (a noise-making place like the distant sound of digging).
Approximate Distance: 86 km Estimated Travel Time: 3 hrs Proceed towards Chobe National Park in the morning and stay just outside of the park near the town of Kasane. Take an optional game drive in the park, or an afternoon sunset boat cruise along the Chobe River - your best opportunity to view hippo, crocodiles and watch many elephants wallow in the water. Kasane is situated on the banks of the Chobe River, near its mouth. This is where the Chobe and Zambezi rivers meet, creating a border area of four countries – Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Chobe National Park is Botswana's first national park, and is situated along the Chobe River. It has one of the largest concentration of wildlife in all the Africa continent and one of the world's last remaining sizeable wilderness area. By size, this is the third largest park (11,000 sq km) of the country, though it is definitely the most diverse and spectacular. The park is probably best known for its spectacular elephant population: with over 120,000 it has the highest elephant concentration of Africa. Moreover, most of them are probably part of the largest continuous surviving elephant population on Earth. The elephant population seems to have solidly built up since 1990, from the few initial thousands. By chance, they have not been affected by the massive illicit exploitation of the 1970's and 1980's. Elephants living here are Kalahari elephants, the largest in size of all known elephant species. Yet they are characterized by rather brittle ivory and short tusks. Damage caused by the high numbers of elephants is rife in some areas. In fact, concentration is so high throughout Chobe that culls have been considered, but are too controversial and have thus far been rejected. During the dry season, these elephants sojourn in Chobe River and the Linyanti River areas. During the rain season, they make a 200 km migration to the south-east region of the park. Their distribution zone however outreaches the park and spreads to north-western Zimbabwe.
Approximate Distance: 200 km Estimated Travel Time: 3 hrs Cross into South Africa and head for Polokwane, the provincial capital of Limpopo. Polokwane was founded in 1886 by Voortrekkers and is now a busy centre serving the surrounding agricultural and mining communities. We overnight at Polokwane Game Reserve. The Reserve is characterised by open savannah and almost entirely dominated by themed grass with the odd smattering of acacia trees. Since its proclamation in the early 70s the Polokwane Game Reserve has established itself as one of the leading municipal conservation projects in South Africa. It supports viable populations of rare game species including Tsessebe, Sable Antelope and the White Rhino. Go and explore the park on foot by yourself (it is not guided) and unwind after a long day's driving or sip a sundowner while listening to the wild sounds of Africa.
Approximate Distance: 543 km Estimated Travel Time: 8 hrs Welcome to big game country! The world-renowned Kruger National Park offers a wildlife experience that ranks with the best in Africa. Spot lion, elephant, rhino and many other animals in one of Africa's greatest wildlife areas. Enjoy the early morning and afternoon game drives in our own vehicle where you will have a chance to search out some incredible wildlife. The first night we stay just outside the Kruger National Park, next to Manyeleti Game Reserve. The name Manyeleti, means 'Place of the Stars' in the local Shangaan language and guests have the opportunity to view the magnificent Southern Constellation. Manyeleti is situated away from the mainstream tourist areas and guests can experience the tranquility of the African Bush in absolute seclusion. In the late afternoon/early evening relax around the pool, sit around the campfire and enjoy your sundowner drink, followed by a traditional meal and traditional dancing by the villagers. Sleep tight and listen to the haunting sounds of the African night. The 23,000 hectare Manyeleti Game Reserve is situated between the Timbavati Private Reserve, the Kruger National Park and the Sabi Sands Game Reserve. With no fences separating Manyeleti from Kruger and the neighbouring reserves, a huge variety of wildlife roams freely over more than 2 million hectares of African bush. Game drives in open vehicles (optional) could bring you into close contact with the Big 5 (lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant and rhino) for an unforgettable safari experience. The Manyeleti Game Reserve is managed by the Mnisi tribe who have been in the area for many generations. The Mnisi are committed to retaining the integrity of the game reserve and ensuring that the benefits of tourism in the reserve are delivered to the surrounding communities. In the late morning of the following day we will visit and interact with the local community of the Planeterra volunteer program in the Shalati village. We continue into the Kruger National Park searching for Africa's "Big 5", we will spend the whole day game driving to spot wild animals in our own vehicle. Project Shalati Pre-school Over 50 children, under the age of 8, attend the pre-school of Shalati. The school has one teacher, and two teacher's helpers that organize activities for the children, as well as provide them with two meals each day. Shalati provides support to the children and prepares them for the transition into primary school. Why is this project needed? In the South African community of Shalati there are many single parent families and a vast number of orphaned children, often cared for by their grandparents. This is due in part to the prevalence of HIV/AIDS. Many children do not begin school until the age of eight, and receive no formal education and limited support during their early formative years. The Shalati Pre-School aims to provide children with the opportunity to begin their education, and become involved in organized activities. More information about the community project Shalati Lodge we are staying at: Shalati Bush Camp is unique, offering an intimate and truly memorable bush and wildlife experience combined with the culture of local Shangaan population, of Africa and its people today. At Shalati we understand the impact that tourism have on the environment and strive to create an interactive experience that is affordable and unforgettable. Shalati is at the forefront of responsible tourism offering the guests a rare insight into the fragile ecosystems of the Big 5 areas as well as the communities on the borders of these great National Parks. We are committed to the sustainable upliftment of the communities around Shalati and the long term benefits that this will bring, to these people. Only people from the community are being employed at Shalati. All these people have never previously worked in the hospitality industry nor have they studied for a Hotel & Catering Diploma. Shalati has an extensive training program incorporating day-to-day and hands-on training. The cooks at Shalati were not able to cook or bake for themselves, not to mention guests. They are now able to bake and cook for many guests at the same time. A huge achievement! All the areas of hotel management are being addressed and individual training for housekeeping, cleaning, laundry, stock management etc is undertaken on a daily basis. Through the salaries that these few people earn, the lives of many in the communities are touched in a positive way. Once you enter the gates of Shalati you will become part of a community – a community that cares, that gives and join hands in strengthening our Rainbow Nation. Established in 1898 to protect the wildlife of the South African Lowveld (low-lying bush land), this national park of nearly 2 million hectares. Kruger National Park is unrivalled in the diversity of its life forms and a world leader in advanced environmental management techniques and policies. Notably as well is its mixed biological, historical and archaeological significance. The Kruger National Park is truly the flagship of the South African National Parks, and it is home to a huge array of plants and animals. With over 145 species of mammals, it is possible to see all the classical African big game, including elephant, black and white rhino, hippopotamus, giraffe, zebra, buffalo, warthog and many antelope species. Large carnivores include lion, leopard, cheetah, wild dog and spotted hyena. There are also many smaller mammals equally enticing species. Some of the bird life here cannot be found elsewhere is South Africa, as 507 species reside in the park. Hornbills, Starlings, Vultures, Rollers, Bee-eaters and Shrikes typify the ubiquitous avi-fauna, and birders can look forward to pursuing the big 6 (Saddle-billed Stork, Kori Bustard, Martial Eagle, Lappet-faced Vulture, Pel's Fishing Owl and Ground Hornbill). Eagles are common: Bateleur, Martial, Black-breasted Snake, Brown Snake, African Hawk, African Fish and Tawny are all regularly seen, and in summer: Wahlberg's, Steppe, Lesser Spotted. The Park's numerous water points make for excellent birding, while the rest camps and picnic sites are exceptionally rewarding for birders. On 26 March, 1898, South African President Paul Kruger signed a proclamation for the founding of a government game park in the Eastern Transvaal, between Crocodile and the Sabie Rivers. As a large animal habitat, this area was at the time an extensive hunting grounds, but mosquito and Tsetse fly populations however, prevented human settlement in the area. The area stayed untouched until after the Anglo-Boer, when the new British administration accepted the idea of a game sanctuary and appointed a warden for what was called Sabie Game reserve. They appointed Major James Stevenson-Hamilton, who was the first to raise the idea that the area should be opened for animal viewing by the public, instead of the proposed plan of opening it for hunting. No accommodation was provided for the visitor, they made their own camps in thorn-bush enclosures. Visitors also carried weapons for their protection. In 1944 a cordon system was introduced between the park and local farms to decrease the impact of foot and mouth disease on the parks wildlife. Stevenson-Hamilton retired through the years of the Second World War, through which time the park was closed. The park was again opened to the public in 1946 under new control.
Depart on arrival in the late afternoon.

Focus 2012 The Oklahoma Department of Libraries is focused on impacting the lives of individual Oklahomans. Here's how ODL made a difference in 2012. Summer Reading ODL is encouraging Oklahoma's public libraries to expand the annual Summer Reading Program to include activities for pre-schoolers and teens. Of the 106,575 enrolled summer readers, 29% were either pre-K or older than 12. Attendance at pre-school storytimes alone exceeded 25,000. Libraries prepare our youngest for the school days ahead, and keep teens reading during the summer months. All of our young people can benefit from the program. Funded with federal dollars. The Power of Literacy The $214,233 in state literacy funding provid-ed a $1.8 million return on investment in terms of volunteer hours. ODL's literacy program works to expand and enhance its support of local volun-teer literacy providers to meet the needs of Oklahoma's adult learners, from training tutors, to providing assistance for those with learning disabilities, to a recent partnership with health providers for a Health Literacy initiative. Funded with state and federal dollars. State Aid Flexibility Public libraries can use their annual State Aid payments to enhance their collection, invest in technology, help with administrative cost, or support programs to serve their communities. ODL gives local public libraries the power to de-termine the best way to use the resource, and nothing illustrates the importance of this policy more than the recent economic downturn. While many communities struggled with falling revenue, the state's public libraries saw circulation increase from 20.7 million in 2008 to 22 million currently, and library card registration went from 1.8 million to 1.9 million. State Aid was there to help. Access to Information Oklahomans continue to discover and use the statewide online data-bases, which provide access to millions of full-text magazine arti-cles, encyclopedias, plus business and health infor-mation. Database searches increased in FY2012 to 50 million, up 20% from the pre-vious year. ODL has invested in e-book collections and Interlibrary Loan so all public libraries have the oppor-tunity to serve their customers with a broader range of resources. Funded with federal dollars. Training & Continuing Education Attendance at ODL-sponsored training and CE events eclipsed 5,400 in FY2012. The agency knows that putting tools and training in the hands of lo-cal providers is what makes the difference for our fellow Oklahomans. Librarians, literacy providers, teachers, government employees, and members

Ntsabane, T.; Ntau, C. (Pula: Botswana Journal of African Studies, NaN, 2000)[more][less]
Abstract: This article focuses on the changing trends and patterns in the youth's participation in the electoral process. It examines trends in electoral participation in general and that of the youth in particular and attempts an explanation. It draws on the results of accumulated surveys and opinion polls that have been conducted over the years by the Democracy Research Project(DRP) of the University of Botswana. The article argues that the reasons for the lower participation rates among the youth are to be found in traditional Tswana society's political culture that does not consider public affairs a domain for women and the youth. This culture is reproduced by the major agencies of socialisation such as the family, school system, political parties and the media. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/772 Files in this item: 1

as the title says, which one of these is better? This one http://www.bestbuy.co.uk/product/10...3_1321822519_7776c6730f9370196382bf25bb1180e0 Or this one http://www.richersounds.com/product/speaker-packages/onkyo/hts5405/onky-hts5405 EDIT:I'm mainly thinking about the speakers, i know most of the differences in the amps
Yes, has better speaker connectors, don't like spring clips. I'm using similar sized sony 140w speakers, and my system rocks
The amp is good, but the speakers are AWFUL in comparsion to even budget bookshelf speakers. Word of advice from a someone thats been there - Buy the amp and the speakers seperately. Edit: Get two pairs of these: YAMAHA NSBP200PB - £45 or WHARFEDALE DIAMOND 9.0 - £39.99 http://www.superfi.co.uk/p-3432-yamaha-nsbp200pb-speakers-pair.aspx http://www.richersounds.com/product/bookshelf-speakers/wharfedale/diamond-9.0/whar-9.0-blk They are one of the better speakers you'll find under £50. They are not great but he quality would be much better than the HTIB speakers you linked. You can find your own center speaker + sub!
which Sony's? I'm on a low budget so at the moment buying a set seems to be a efficient options besides that amp is worth £300 by itself so I can always upgrade the speakers when I have a larger budget , I've also heard some onkyo speakers and they at Least sound much better then my TVs speakers. if you can suggest a better set of separates I will consider them edit:just to clarify this Is already at the limits of what I could afford, so if I spend more on speakers I will have to get a lower end amp to compensate
Onkyo generally make good bookshelf speakers, but HTIB is usually an exception where the quality is often neglected across the board with most leading manufacturers. In both sound quality and build quality. It doesn't have to be expensive. I let you into a secret, sometimes finding your own parts is cheaper than HTIB! Get the ONKYO TXSR309, I have the exact amp - It's one of the cheapest amp you'll find with the HD formats (DTS Masters HD and Dolby Digital True HD Support). It's Only £179. ONKYO TXSR309 £179 Pair of Yamaha NSBP200PB x2 (front + rears) £90 YAMAHA NS-C125 Center speaker £51 That alone will shit on any HTIB. Cheaper too. Only £320. The subwoofer you can add later as bookshelf speakers tend to have quite good low frequency response already. Check Ebay you'll find a used subwoofer for £40-60 easily. http://www.richersounds.com/product/av-receivers/onkyo/txsr309/onky-txsr309-blk http://www.superfi.co.uk/p-3432-yamaha-nsbp200pb-speakers-pair.aspx http://www.overstock.com/Electronic...annel-Speaker/5108553/product.html?cid=133635 Edit: Found subwoofers: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/YAMAHA-SW...omeAudioHiFi_HiFiSpeakers&hash=item1c206c8eb9 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/400257794...id=m570.l2736&_nkw=400257794590&_fvi=1&_rdc=1 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yamaha-ac...omeAudioHiFi_HiFiSpeakers&hash=item336d5a95b1 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SAMSUNG-P...omeAudioHiFi_HiFiSpeakers&hash=item3cbe17a549
I'm using a full set of these, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sony-Rear-Speaker-SS-TS92-DAV-HDX285-DAV-HDX589W-/260897897458?pt=Home_Theater_in_a_Box&hash=item3cbeb9fbf2#ht_809wt_1139 I was using a set of active studio monitors, and believe me I am very particular about my sound setup, and these little speakers are fine, with the sub. You don't need whacking great speakers no more, I used to have but you can get pretty good sound quality form small ones and a sub, look at the bose acoustimass setups for instance. Buy one of the ones you originally linked imo, but it is up to you. Don't forget to factor in speaker brackets into that, specially for the rear ones at least. i don't use my active studio monitors no more as the quality from my current setup sounds fine, and with the sub it does not matter about the satellites ability to handle bass. Its up to you Cheesy,
Not really a big deal. We are talking low end to low-mid range components here. The type of budget we are working the Onkyo TX-SR309 is the best you'll get under £200. Those HTIB speakers just make me cringe, it's a justified compromise lol
the lesser receiver and better speaker option is a poor choice if he wants to upgrade because not only will he have to buy new speakers but a receiver as well. buy the Onkyo TX-NR509 receiver/speaker bundle. you will still get something better than Logitech and it will give you a chance to upgrade. I can't imagine living without Audyssey. Audyssey calibration guide: http://forum.blu-ray.com/audio-theo...ssey-auto-calibration-other-technologies.html
To be fair, the TX-SR309 does have some configurations needed for manual calibration. I'd say if the OP has his heart on the Onkyo TX-NR509, get it and only two bookshelf speakers. Then buy the other two bookshelf speakers + center after.
Audyssey is more than that and if he wants to spend $50 on a SPL meter with no way of confirming his readings be my guest. how good could a set of $70 Yamaha bookshelves really be..
so I could use some speakers I already have for the front speakers in order to increase quality and keep the rest of the onkyo's for the sorround effect
Checkout clubonkyo.com you can buy refurbed amps directly from them for supercheap and earn points towards future upgrades, they might have a european version of the site as well. Worth looking into The 509 looks like a good receiver DLNA and HDMI connections (although the HDMI portion can be tricky, most do not support 1.4 or bitstream..), and I love my cheap onkyo receiver, BUT the speakers are total crap, I paired mine up with Polk monitor 40s. Would like to get 2 more for 4 channel surround action Or even better a nice pair of towers and use the monitor40s as rears. yes but match impedance
The Onkyo 509 is a fantastic amp and it features audessy speaker calibration with a mic. Those speakers are going to be a bit crap though specially with that nice amp... I would get the amp seperate and go for a set of the Boston Soundware XS speakers, they have won a lot of awards and sound fantastic! http://www.richersounds.com/product/speaker-packages/boston-/soundware-xs/bost-acous-sw-xs-blk if thats too expensive then get the Onkyo 309 amp which is also great but much cheaper and get those bostons I wanted to buy the 509 & bostons but found someone local selling the 309 with a set of Tannoy 5.1's 2nd hand for £180 so I got that... sounds fantastic in my cinema room specially for only £180!! Both the 309 & 509 support hdmi 1.4 aswell as pass through 3D signals
rear channels is another subject all together: http://forum.blu-ray.com/speakers/6...iating-monopole-surround-speakers-part-i.html
Here's a nice cheap setup, in lincoln(uk) Comes with a half descent amp too. http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/bose-acoustimass-16-series-ii-61-with-matching-amp/91793210 Or this- http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/yamaha-dsp-ax761-av-amplifier-tannoy-sub-5-phillips-speakers/88952723 both come with good amps, and they will deliver too usually.
I have 2 yamaha receivers and both are tight. Once is a VX765. I have 2 NHT 3-ways and a 3-way center channel that have very good freq resp and are extremely crisp and I hear everything with the yamaha receiver. Also, their DSP programs are fantastic for simulating 7.1 sound from a stereo source. I'd stay away from the bose system. Everyone I talk to says they are basically cruising on their 40 year old reputation.
YPAO will equalize LFE but once you get a receiver with Audyssey MultEQ or above there is no contest. I think Yamaha is cheap and doesn't license a lot of technologies so they make their own that do the same but not quite..
Try to remember this is a budget build that will have decent speakers but is not going to be at the level of requiring lab accurate calibration. I do my calibration so it sounds the way I like it, not the way someone tells me it's supposed to sound. If you can trust your own ears, you can do the process manually. There were still audiophiles around before these calibration tools came out.

Brief opinions about events of the past week: Merit: For the Department of Veterans Affairs, which has awarded a $120 million contract for a new outpatient medical center off Raeford Road, near the Hoke County line. The 259,000-square-foot medical center will replace several VA outpatient clinics, consolidating them in one place.
The clinic will include primary care, specialists and outpatient surgery. It's one more major piece of a stretch of U.S. 401 that's turning into a medical avenue, with two new hospitals rising a few miles away in Hoke County.
Demerit: For insurance companies' request to boost homeowner policy rates by nearly 26 percent in Cumberland County next year, far above the also-steep statewide average of more than 17 percent. The hefty boost in premiums would be one more blow for the thousands of property owners already reeling from the recession and declining home values.
State Insurance Commissioner Wayne Goodwin says consumers have until Oct. 19 to comment on the request, which is posted on the department's website, ncdoi.com. Comments can be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com.
The last rate-hike request was in 2008, when insurance companies sought a nearly 20 percent increase. The state approved 4 percent. It would be good if history repeats itself. Insurance companies deserve to make a profit, but homeowners need some help, too.
Merit: For the Fayetteville Public Works Commission, whose bond rating just went up. Moody's Investors Service bumped the PWC's rating from Aa3 to Aa2. It covers PWC's $150 million in outstanding revenue bonds.
Moody's cited the PWC's sound fiscal practices, low debt ratio and prudent management - as well as having one of the lowest rate structures in the state. We hope the improved bond rating helps keep those water and electric bills down.
Demerit: For the state Department of Transportation's failure to adequately publicize the closure of the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge in Wilmington last weekend. It caused traffic heading toward the span to back up for miles, leaving motorists stuck for hours.
Engineers are replacing the cables that raise and lower the drawbridge over the Cape Fear River. The next closure is planned for Friday, Oct. 12, and DOT engineer Jackson Provost said the agency will make sure residents have plenty of notice this time.
Merit: For the two Fayetteville State University teams that competed in a recent UNC social-business competition. FSU and UNC-Chapel Hill were the only schools in the UNC system to have both of their teams make it into the final round of the competition. One of the FSU teams won second place. It's another achievement for FSU's highly regarded business school.
The teams were presenting proposals for entrepreneurial businesses whose work addresses societal needs. The top-ranking FSU team presented a business plan that would help farmers turn hog waste into usable energy that could be sold to utility companies.
Demerit: For 2nd District U.S. Rep. Renee Ellmers, who has refused to debate her Democratic opponent, Steve Wilkins. The Republican congresswoman turned down an offer to debate from WTVD in Raleigh.
Ellmers, who represents part of Cumberland County, is nearing the end of her first term. Her constituents deserve to hear her positions on the issues and to see her defend her performance in office. It's a political fundamental, and every politician should be willing to take part.

Welcome to German Studies at USC!
In today's world of global interconnectivity you have to be able and willing to look beyond your own community and step outside your comfort zone to be successful.
No matter whether you find yourself working in business, politics, humanitarian work, education, the arts, science, technology or any other field, it is impossible to be a "citizen" of one culture while ignoring the rest of the world. Part and parcel of the new paradigm of the 21- century work environment are not only skills such as multitasking and adaptability to constantly changing technologies or personality trades such as flexibility. One of the key elements of a successful life and career is also the ability to navigate in a multicultural society, in a global economy and in a world in which all countries and its citizens are growing increasingly dependent on each other.
Germany has long been a tremendously influential "player" in cultural history, economics and sciences.
You may think:"Why should I study German? Most Germans speak English . . ."
English may be the "lingua franca" and you may be able to function on a superficial level in German speaking countries by speaking English only.
However studying the German language is key to truly becoming culturally proficient,
and of course, English is a Germanic language, so you already know some German as a native speaker of English.
There are a multitude of reasons why you will not regret your choice of German as a foreign language and German Studies as a window into the culture of German speaking countries.

7.0 Is simply to low a score for this game. I personally loved it. Its addicting, looks good, plays perfect, good sound, fun level design, plenty of levels etc. I also enjoyed the large amount of coins. Theres nothing new, and its pretty easy (only the later levels offer much of a challenge) but this is a well polished Mario. I suggest it to all fans of the series!
this is a great game, everything I loved about the old games when i was young. the review rants on about nothing new, but WHO CARES!!! the old Mario style is just as fun now as it was then. It feels much like a continuation of Mario 3, The best Mario. =) the guy doing the review should have his mouth washed out with soap for putting it down every 10 seconds. or buy the guy some anti-depressants, because if you don't like this game you have to be chemically imbalanced in the brain.
Yep, just as I thought: more of the same. It looks to me like it's just continuing everything I disliked about New Super Mario Bros. Nothing "New," and more of that sh!tty modern Mario cutesy-style that made me turn my back on Mario ever since Super Mario 64.
if you don't like this game, then you can't be considered a gamer. If all you play are FPS', you know nothing of the gaming community.
Many of us just wanted a continuation of Super Mario 3, and this looks like it, but without the stupid motion controling.
I agree with most of this review Mark, except for your complaining about the princess being captured again. That's part of what makes a Mario game. It's part of the fun.
My reaction when playing these games...
New Super Mario Bros. :D
New Super Mario Bros. Wii :)
New Super Mario Bros. 2 :I
New Super Mario Bros. U :P
OK, after watching this I've decided I'm gonna pick it up this morning with my new 3DS XL, I'm excited :)
Sorry this does not have anything to do with New Super Mario Bros. 2. I just can not get a straight answer out of anyone.
Can anyone tell me if i was playing using the 3DS XL with an old DS game like Pokemon Pearl or something. Does it make the game get a lot of pixels and make it look sh*tty?
I ask this becasue i am thinking about upgrading from a DSi and i need to know if the old DS games still look okay or are they really bad. I dont really intend on using the 3D function on the 3DS XL but i would like an upgrade to be able to play the newer games on 3DS as well as enjoy the old DS games still.
Please anyone playing old DS games on their new 3DS XL let me know.
Well I got to say that after beating this game, a lot of what Mark says is true. There really isn't much new in the way of this game, and even though the focus is on coin collecting, it's not that challenging which equates to less than spectacular level design, and the Star World levels were a complete joke. It's a good game, but honestly, people should not feel obligated to give this game 9s just because it's a Mario game...
Man they going to keep on milking the crap out of mario. I think his milk has turn to dust.
I realized midway through the complaining, I mean review, that this is gamespot and its a review of a Mario game....
Just listening to reviews like this pisses me off incredibly. It's a video game review, tell us the pros and cons, no need to act poetic or snobby.
My idea if Nintendo wants to keep up the retro 2D sidescrollers to keep making money while doing something new. "New Super Mario Bros. :Return to Subcon" sure the US SMB2 wasn't really SMB but why not a follow up to the US SMB2 with playable characters with different skills sets, add Yoshi to the options. Bring back Wart, Mouser, Fryguy and Tryclyde, go back to the tossing baddies magical jars, etc. I'd play that. Want that idea Nintendo? Call me.
after listening to this delightful gentleman speak, i have immediately realized that i need to have a pHD in snobbery to make a game review.
I am sick of this guys hideous reviews. Everyone I watch and hear his voice make me want to hurl. He has no idea what gamers like maybe he has a PhD in video game making but he flunked at what people like. People LOVE this kind of mario game been around for 25+ years and he can say what he wants there has been only minor changes with each one this is no different BUT it gives a NEW platform a game EVERY nintendo platform needs. A Super Mario Brothers Game 2D and i have played it and its a lot of fun
I will definitely get this once it comes out this week for my son. I just have some questions: Is the New Super Mario Bros 1 for the DS is also playable in the 3DS? I'm thinking of buying it also if it is playable. And what are the possible drawbacks in playing a DS game in a 3DS handheld?
As a Nintendo fan I have just lost a bit of respect for Nintendo. It's a shame they had to go EA, and Activison on there fans. The blinded fanboys will buy it any ways, and praise it. All you have to do is get some s*** and a red marker. Draw a circle, with an M inside it, and Nintendo fans will fight like dogs to eat it up.
Seriously, so what if the game is "more of the same", as long as it's enjoyable? At least they still try to change some things up in the Mario games, like the whole coin concept in this one. I really don't understand why gamers complain about this so much these days. Of course it's going to be similar to the others. Video game sequels almost always are.
sorry, make some twist in the story. For example, in Paper Mario Gamecube, the story was actually DIFFERENT and fun.
Make me wonder has Nintendo, really run out of fresh ideas for future Mario games, or was this just a quick way to cash in on the Mario franchise to sell more 3Ds's?
Didn't realize I was on GameSpot Europe mate. Also its MAR-E-O ! Not Mare E O... Jesus Mario has even been saying his own name out loud since Mario 64 to just help blokes likes yourself... Stick to written reviews and get your horrible voice off my internets!
WOW Relax people !!! He gave it a 7, you know what the means on this site, GOOD! The reviewer said the game is good! Now shut up and watch this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXND6fkW4zM
They could have done more with this game, its really just a Wii port with new levels. If you enjoyed the Wii one then you'll probably like this, but i personally did not like the Wii one, so that doesn't make me a gamer? That being said, Super Mario Land 3D on the other hand is a great game which i enjoy playing.
I'd really like to see Nintendo make a Mario game closer to Super Mario World from the Snes with a Level editor included.
@The_Great_Purge Yes, you can play NSMB from the DS on the 3DS. The only drawback is that it will be slightly burry since it has to expand to the higher res screen. It is not that bad though.
@Nintyfan95 lol you and your Sonic logo, Nintendo already released a stuning full 3D Mario game, if people dig the retro 2D style they release one too, so what, it plays perfectly and they release one, ok, ONE, of this new super mario games per system, that's not milking anything, just giving some people what they want with quality, Nintendo hate keeps going strong. . .
@TAMKFan You are right. And I must say, I like the coin concept, too! It's something new for a Mario game. With the already awesome Super Mario 3D Land, a new 2D-style Mario game for 3DS is very welcome!
Can't wait to get my hands on my copy tomorrow! :)
@zpluffy It is a turn based RPG, a genre that tends to have a story, this is a platformer, a genre that tends to not have a story, but an enjoyable playing experience
@PSR8000 The second one, because there about to turn profit with the 3DS, and they want to start it off with a bang.
@EpycWyn yeah plus the replay vaue is much larger. I mean you do have a multiplayer mode with a few new modes, many more maps and new weapons. Also they added a brand new Survival Mode which greatly expanded the co-op in the modern warfare series. And the story also keeps going. But the MW series has indeed been lacking which is why MW3 got a little bit of a lower score then the other modern warfares. But this Mario game looks painfully repetetive. I mean, going back to this after Mario 3D land? Lame.
@EpycWyn The Modern Warfare games still are way more story-driven, and they at least have a progressing story, which makes it a bit less repetitive.

This is a real mystery that is very easy to do, even for a child. Yet it will fool adults!
You start with a plastic frame that has a clear plastic sheet inside. Let your spectator tap the clear parts with a pencil- they are indeed solid. Nothing can pass through. Place an ordinary playing card into each side of the frame, covering the clear plastic. Now, let your spectator push the pencil through the middle of the frame- the pencil goes through the card and through the solid plate! Take the cards out of the frame- the cards have holes in them, but the clear plastic is STILL SOLID! How can you push a pencil through a solid plastic plate?? Baffling- and really easy to do!

This medication has helped to relieve my nasal congestion due to allergies and I'm hoping it will help to shrink my Nasal Polyps. I'm not able to smell due to the Nasal Polyps. This condition existed before I started using the Nasonex. I plan to go to my ENT to determine if Nasonex has helped to shrink the nasal polys. Has anyone found Nasonex to actually shrink nasal polyps?

Nasonex works amazingly well for me. It has no smell, no aftertaste, and no side effects. I have zero nasal allergy symptoms while I'm taking it (which is year-round unless I accidentally run out). No other allergy medicine has ever done that for me. I would highly recommend it to any allergy sufferer.

Where is your MANNERS !!
Etiquette For Runners
In the interest of promoting an enjoyable running and racing experience for everyone, the Road Runners Club of America encourages good runners' etiquette. Whether running in a group or running alone, always follow the RRCA Safety Guidelines.
Whatever the pace, wherever the race, manners matter.
Rules of the road and trails
- Run against traffic if running on the road. If running on the sidewalk or multi-use trails, travel on the right and pass on the left.
- Never run more than two abreast if you are running in a group. Don't be a road or trail hog.
- Don't run down the middle of the road or trail.
- If you are running an out-and-back route, don't just make a sudden u-turn at your turn around point. Stop, step to the right to allow oncoming traffic the opportunity to pass. Ensure the road or trail is clear of oncoming traffic (runners, cyclists, in-line skaters, etc.) then make your u-turn. Making a sudden u-turn without looking over your shoulder is a good way to get hit.
- Alert pedestrians when you are passing them – don't assume they are aware of their surroundings. A simple "on your left" warning will suffice.
- Be alert on blind curves.
- Stop at stop signs and ensure oncoming traffic yields to you before proceeding across a road. Don't assume cars will stop if you are entering a cross walk.
- Respect private property along your route. Don't relieve yourself in the neighbor's bushes.
- Don't litter. If you can't find a trash can, carry your trash home.
General Rules for Running in an Event
- Follow the rules of the race outlined on the race entry form! (more…)

Ledgister claims innocence and disappointment over Beavers red card
10:00am Friday 23rd August 2013 in Sport
By Tim Ashton & Sam Elliott
Hampton & Richmond's Joel Ledgister said no-one is more disappointed than him after his first half sending off triggered a 3-0 defeat at home to Wealdstone.
In a 10-minute spell, the 25-year-old was shown a yellow card for appearing to handle the ball into the Stones' net, and then a second card for handling in his own penalty area.
The Stones took the lead from the resultant spot-kick and went on to claim all three points, and leave the Beavers still looking for their first win of the Ryman Premier season.
Chairman Gavin McPherson said Ledgister could face disciplinary action, describing the sending off as "crazy" and "unacceptable".
However, Ledgister is adamant that the video footage, which the team was due to watch last night at training, will clear his name.
He said: "No-one is more disappointed than me. I am disappointed about being sent off, about leaving my team-mates playing with 10 men for so long and for giving away the penalty.
"I did not deliberately punch the ball in the goal, I went up for a cross and it would have been easier for me to head it in, but I was shoved from behind and my arm hit the ball, I was not even looking at it at the time.
"When I heard the whistle, I thought the ref was about to give a penalty."
He added: "As for the one in our penalty area, I don't remember the ball hitting my hand, I think it hit someone else.
"It was not a good day for me, but I can say there was no intention on my side to deliberate handle the ball.
McPherson said: "We felt we were well in the game and had every chance of getting three points until Joel did what he did.
"It was crazy and it cost us. We're very disappointed by what happened and Joel knows that. We are currently discussing the next step, and what action to take.
"He has let everyone down, I felt very sorry for the players he left behind as he walked down the tunnel. Our chances went with him."
The Beavers, currently 21st, host fellow strugglers Cray Wanderers this weekend, before the derby clash with Kingstonian on bank holiday Monday.

Rated 2 out of 5Â by blkadder High hopes, but in the end dissapointment
I have been wearing Sperry products pretty much my whole life, and when I saw that they had a running type shoe, I jumped at the chance to get a pair. When they arrived, I noticed that they are a bit tight across the toe box, but after wearing them for a bit, they seem to be loosening up a bit. If you have wide feet, make sure you take that into consideration when purchasing them.
I have had an issue with a squeaking sound that appeared shortly after purchase. It seems to be coming from the left show near the heel. I have some concerns with this so a call to Customer Service is on my horizon.

The only limit to this shoe is in choice of color; otherwise, it the very best athletic shoe that I ever had the pleasure of wearing. Good job, Sperry!

Great during activities. I felt like the size was a bit small so I went up half a size. Great comfort.
I have some concerns with the quality. After a month I've noticed some seperation from the sole. This makes me question how much longer these will last. This is my first time with these sneakers, so I'm unsure of whether this is common.

For more than three decadess, Steve Harris's galloping fleet-fingered basslines have turbocharged U.K. metal titans Iron Maiden and have made him the most influential metal bassist alive. Harris has stayed true to his battle-hardened Fender Precision Bass guitar over the years, and Fender now honors him with the Artist Signature Series Steve Harris Precision Bass.
This bass features a regally cool Royal Blue Metallic sparkle finish, with a chromed mirror pickguard, alder body, vintage-tint one-piece maple neck and fingerboard with 20 medium-jumbo frets, a Badass II bridge, Seymour Duncan Basslines SPB-1 split-coil Precision Bass pickup, chrome hardware, Steve Harris signature Rotosound custom flat-wound strings and Harris's signature on the back of the headstock. Deluxe gig bag included.
Known for his super fast fingerpicking, Iron Maiden bassist Steve Harris can know also be known for his signature bass—the Fender Steve Harris Precision Bass.
As Steve requested, from the body to the neck, this bass is heavy—almost as if it were made out of iron.
For the true-blue speed demon of the bass guitar. Buy this bass and buckle up for a run to the hills.
