A Fireside Chat With Joe Morris
FJ: Age of Everything is a guitar trio session. The other two members in your band, Timo Shanko (bass) and Luther Gray (drums) are foreign to me (not that I know shit).
JM: There is another reason to make your own records because Timo Shanko is somebody I have known for a very long time, for about fifteen years. Luther is new to me, but Timo is a bassist in the Fully Celebrated Orchestra, which has consistently been one of my favorite groups of musicians. They are in Boston and they are led musically by Jim Hobbs, who is a tremendous alto player, who recorded with me on my record Racket Club , which is on About Time. These guys are phenomenal musicians. They are just unbelievable musicians. You go to, I think at this point, as amazing as they are, they are not trendy. They're not really interested in a lot of the things that have been going on, which to me, makes them more interesting because they are different. They're interested in Coltrane and Ornette and swinging and playing with a lot of energy and a lot of precision. They are really a different kind of group of musicians. So again, if I ask people to pony up to make a record with someone they have never heard of, it is harder to get the money. There is a bigger risk that people are going to lose money, so my attitude is to hell with it. I will just do it myself and I am so glad I did.
FJ: Eloping with the Sun (Riti) features Hamid Drake and William Parker.
JM: Yeah, I did a duo, Ken Vandermark hired me to play a duo in Chicago with Hamid a couple of years ago, about two and a half years ago. I have been playing banjo, ukulele for a long time and I'm really interested in African music and the name Riti Records, riti is a one string African fiddle. I spent years listening to field recordings of traditional West African string music. I am totally up, inside of that. I love that. I can talk to Hamid Drake about that and we know the names of people. He actually had tea once with Alhaji Bai Konte in a tent in the Sahara Desert. Alhaji Bai Konte is one of my all time heroes. He's one of the greatest kora players of the modern era.
In the duo, we played a little frame drum, ukulele duet and it worked. Then William Parker and I did a duo where he was playing zintir, which is a two string Moroccan bass lute. On the gig, we did about twenty five to thirty minutes of playing like that. About six months later, William came up to me in New York, and we were all playing on the same bill, and that the recording of that was really unusual and we should put it out. He gave it to me and I listened to it, but we didn't have enough to make a record. Hamid was coming to town and we put the microphones up and I recorded it at the AUM Fidelity headquarters and recorded a trio in an afternoon. It is the kind of thing that the three of us kind of just understand. I know those guys know about that music and we just do it. There is no discussion about what we are going to do. We just hit record and record a bunch of stuff. It is all centered about William's zintir. He is amazing. He is an non-traditional on that as he is on bass, but he ends up just furthering the whole reality of it because he is such a great musician.
FJ: A secondary vocabulary between the three of you.
JM: It definitely is, Fred. I think it might be equal to the primary vocabulary. One time I was sitting in a restaurant with Hamid in Chicago and we were talking about some of these things and a musician was sitting there, turned and said, 'What is that?' And Hamid said, 'That is what we try to get to every night when we play music.' I really think that that is what the three of us always try to do. It is maybe a little bit more obvious using this instrumentation, of the folk aspect of it. But it is funky too and it is intense and it is dense. And that is true of all of our playing. I think that sensibility totally governs everything that I ever do. I'm glad to be able to say that so people don't think I'm trying to be a classical musician. I like African music, jazz, and then folk music and pop music. That is totally where I come from on every level. It is easy to say that is true of those guys because they have proven that every time they pick up an instrument.
FJ: And the Whit Dickey record?

I use these bindings for all mountain and park skiing. The heavy duty construction and durability are what appealed to me, and yes they are definitely very strong. I haven't ridden on them extensively yet, but they will hold up great I'm sure. They only downfall I can see is the weight, but honestly, I think the durability more than makes up for that.

Very challenging to pull the skis apart because the binding brakes too tightly interlock. It's really kind of a pain. Other than that, they work fine.

At 12:42 a.m., Reno firefighters responded to a structure fire at an unoccupied single-wide mobile home at the Keystone RV Park, 1457 W. Fourth St.
The residence was unoccupied at the time of the fire. Other residents in the mobile home park called 911 to report the fire. No injuries were reported.
"Prior to our first engine arriving, the fire had already vented through the roof and windows," Battalion Chief Sandy Munns said in a statement. "Firefighters were able to quickly knockdown the fire and save nearby homes."
The fire caused extensive damage to the mobile home. A preliminary estimate for damages has not been set. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Ever wondered how to start pickling cucumbers? The thought might cross your mind during the growing season, a time when gardens and farmer's markets will be bursting with fresh cucumbers. That's a stark contrast to what you'll get if you buy this veggie at the store, where it's likely coated in a wax that should be peeled off, robbing you of healthy fiber and vitamin C housed in the skin.
It's best to grow your own, or stock up at farmer's markets, to try your hand at pickling cucumbers. And remember pickle recipe rule number 1: "Make pickles your family likes," suggests Jean Nick, author of Rodale.com's Nickel Pincher column. "If no one ever eats dill pickles, don't make them."
• Match the cucumber to the pickling recipe. Whether you're interested in making whole dill pickles to crunch or pickle slices for sandwiches, choosing the right cuke is key. "Cucumbers make great pickles. Bread-and-butter pickles are very easy, and can be made with regular slicing cukes," explains Aimee Good, organic farmer and co-owner of Quiet Creek Farm in Kutztown, PA. "Dill cukes are delicious, but to stay crisp, it's best to use small cukes, and cut off ends [before pickling]" she adds. Also, only use fresh, firm cucumbers for pickling, not ones that are starting to soften up.
• Slice 'em how you like 'em. If the pickles are going to be used on sandwiches, cut large, thin slices on an angle to make long ovals, instead of small rounds, suggests Nick.
• Select the proper salt. When pickling cucumbers, you must use pickling or canning salt, not iodized or table salt, Good adds. Sea salt is OK.
• Make refrigerator pickles for free. Here's the easiest way to make homemade pickles: "After you eat all the pickles out of a jar, reuse the juice by slicing leftover cucumbers, onion, beans, cauliflower, or just about any fresh or cooked veggie into it, and putting the jar in the fridge overnight—or even better, for a week or more," suggests Nick. "They just get better with time!"
• Think beyond cukes! Pickles and cucumbers are not synonymous. "Think outside the box—pickled peach halves and spiced pickled crabapples are great," says Nick. Good suggests pickling hot peppers, beets, and even dilly beans for more fun pickling variations.

Ross sticks to cautious Q4 guidance
Retail Editor 1 -- Home Textiles Today, November 16, 2012
Pleasanton, Calif. - Ross Stores Inc. reported double-digit growth in net earnings and sales during its third quarter, propelling to off-price chain's better-than-expected year-to-date results. Still, the retailer is playing it safe in terms of fourth quarter projections.
"Our focus on bargains continues to make our stores attractive destinations for value-conscious customers. During the holiday season, however, it is always difficult to predict how promotional other retailers may become or how current macro-economic and political uncertainties may impact consumer spending," said Michael Balmuth, vice chairman and ceo, during the company's quarterly conference call.
He noted Ross is anniversarying a 7% increase in same store sales from last year's fourth quarter. "So, while we hope to do better, we believe it is prudent to maintain our prior fourth quarter guidance," he said.
Net earnings for the third quarter, ended Oct. 27, grew 11% to $159.5 million, and earnings per share rose 14% to 72 cents. Sales were up 11% to $2.26 billion, and comps increased 6%, compared to a 5% gain in the prior year.
For the nine months, net earnings grew 18% to $550.2 million, and earnings per share rose 22% to $2.46, up from $2.01. Year-to-date sales jumped 12% to $6.96 billion, and comps grew 7%, on top of a 5% gain last year.
The 1,097-unit chain is sticking with its outlook for the fourth quarter, Balmuth noted, which calls for same-store sales to be up 1% to 2% and earnings per share to be in the range of 99 cents to $1.04, compared to 85 cents in the year-ago Q4.

<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Fred L. Smith, Jr.
Competitive Enterprise Institute
As entrepreneurs come to the Securities and Exchange Commission today to share their frustration about section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Competitive Enterprise Institute calls on Congress and President Bush to repeal this unfair law in its entirety.
"To deal with the problem of a few big business bad apples, Congress created a web of costs and mandates that are shackling innovation," says Fred L. Smith, Jr., president of the Competitive Enterprise Institute. "These rules disproportionately hurt the innovative entrepreneurs who run small public companies. And they've turned out to be a form of corporate welfare for the accounting industry that many wanted to punish after the scandals."
The boom for the Big 4 accounting firms, coming at the expense of job and productivity growth in the general business world, is the subject of a new National Review article by CEI's Warren T. Brookes Journalism Fellow, John Berlau. Noting that "the Big 4 are hiring big time and have stepped up their recruiting efforts," he proclaims that "what's good for the Big 4 isn't necessarily good for America." He points to a survey finding that Sarbanes-Oxley has raised costs and fees 130 percent for middle-market public companies.
Berlau compares the breadth of 404 to the price and output-control schemes of the New Deal that were struck down by the Supreme Court. "Things such as the technology used to derive accounting numbers must be audited every year by the accountants," Berlau writes. Auditors usually do not know as much as company employees about which products, such as software, work best, and shareholders consequently could be hurt if employees are second-guessed on these highly technical items. "If management ... has to go against its best judgment to please an auditor, shareholders could lose out as well."
Berlau concludes that the law is clearly a threat to overall economic vitality and could lead to a major slowdown in business investment. Smith adds, "Lawmakers must stand up to misguided activists, as well as the businesses that profit from the law's burdens, and undo the mess they have created."

text: Halloween Decorating Ideas and Recipes From Interior Designer Sandra Espinet 8 Halloween Tricks and Treats From Sandra Espinet by Julia Millay Walsh 10/11/10 10 Reactions 43 Shares Print 21 12 10 0 0 For its upcoming Halloween Block Party special on Oct. 16, HGTV has asked interior designer Sandra Espinet, designer Kenneth Wingard, and event planner Michelle Buckley to transform the homes of three families to create the spookiest neighborhood in America! The show will give us dozens of ideas for a Halloween menu, décor, floral arrangements, tablescapes, and more. Sandra Espinet has been kind enough to put together a series of Halloween décor tricks and treats for us as a sneak peek of the special. From front-yard graveyards to skeleton sugar cookies, I know you'll want to try all of these tricks and treats. Pumpkin Ice Cooler What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "If you are bad at carving pumpkins or have limited time, simply cut the top off of a pumpkin, scoop out, line with a clear plastic bag and fill it with ice! Now you have an instant Halloween cooler for your favorite canned and bottled beverages with very little effort." 1 / 8 Skeleton Sugar Cookies What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "A great way to get the kids involved in Halloween is to make sugar cookies and have them paint and decorate them. You can use a Christmas gingerbread man cookie cutter and paint a skeleton over it. This is a cute way to have fun while you prepare for your party." 2 / 8 Tombstone Cookies What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "For a Halloween variation of sugar cookies, make tombstone cookies and sit them on top of brownies to look like graves. Get creative and have fun with the wording on these tombs. You're bound to get lots of giggles from this." 3 / 8 Cupcakes What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "Don't have time to bake cookies? You can simply buy cupcakes from a local grocery or bakery and add a cute topper that goes with your Halloween theme. Make sure the icing is a solid color so that your topper stands out." 4 / 8 Take-Away Candy Bags What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "If you are having a Halloween party, it's great to have themed take-away gift bags for guests to put all of their cookies and goodies in as they leave. Simply purchase solid color bags and glue on colored designs of your choice that go with your theme. This is a thoughtful detail that does not require much time or money, but will have your guests thinking about you the following day." 6 / 8 Candy Display What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "A super easy way to make your Halloween sweets look elegant is to properly display the candy. Glass apothecary jars like these can be found at many retailers." 6 / 8 Halloween Piñatas What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "A great way to have Halloween outside for young kids is to get a Halloween-themed piñata and tie it to a tree outside. All of the candy stays outside and you do not have to worry about messy fingers inside. Almost all cities have a Mexican neighborhood where you can buy piñatas. They range from $40-$80 and are filled with confetti and candy. The kids will have a blast trying to break it open!" 7 / 8 A Front-Lawn Graveyard What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "It sounds more complicated than it is. All you need is a few large black garbage bags, dirt ($5/bag), a set of bones-in-a-bag ($25) and some leftover candles or flowers. Lay the plastic bag down, put the bones down and throw dirt over it. Decorate with the candles and flowers and boom! A grave. The good thing is that it is even easier to clean up. Just grab the plastic bag from all 4 corners and throw it all out into your trash bin." 8 / 8 21 12 10 0 0 Read More Sandra EspinetHalloween Halloween 11 Reasons It Was Sweet to Be a '90s Kid 1 week ago Ranking M&M's: Which Comes in at No. 1? 2 weeks ago 19 Old-Time Confections That Shouldn't Be Forgotten 3 weeks ago Mom Brings Star Wars to Life For Her Daughter 3 weeks ago 13 Foods For Freaky Friday 12/13/13 A Showstopping Vegetarian Main For Thanksgiving 11/11/13 Get a Personalized Living Newsletter!

Building and keeping healthy bones. Bone is a living tissue. It is not simply an "erector set" that keeps us upright but must renew itself throughout life. Bone health at any age requires a healthy lifestyle, a well balanced diet with plenty of calcium and regular exercise. These factors are important in childhood and adolescence to achieve the strongest bones possible and for maintaining bone health in adulthood. Although normal levels of sex hormones are important throughout life, the decision about hormone replacement therapy is especially important at the time of the menopause in women. Hormones are not right for everyone and other treatments to protect your bones are now available.
Bone Density and bone health. "Healthy bones" mean, strong bones. Bone strength is determined by measuring its density. Density testing, or densitometry, allows us to precisely determine how strong your bones are. Dual energy x-ray densitometry (DEXA) is the best densitometry method. It takes only minutes and can measure bone mass in the spine, hip, and wrist. You simply lie on a table and a scan beam passes over you. It uses much less radiation than a chest x-ray.
Osteopenia and Osteoporosis. We now know that the lower your bone density the greater the risk of fracture. This risk is determined by comparing your bone mass to healthy young adults of the same sex. The World Health Organization has established diagnostic criteria for osteopenia and osteoporosis based on bone density measurements. Osteopenia means a somewhat reduced bone density. When a person'bone density is lower than the density in 98% of young adults, a diagnosis of osteoporosis is established. If fractures are also present, you have severe osteoporosis.
How valuable is measuring bone density? Knowing your bone density will help you and your physician determine your risk for osteoporotic fractures. This information will enable you to choose specific options to prevent or treat bone loss. Where can I get my bone density measured? The Yale Bone Center offers bone densitometry as part of its comprehensive program to prevent and treat osteoporosis. Densitometry tests can be scheduled by calling 203.785.7667 at any time.

Rules:(1) Pick one NFL team each week(2) You can not pick the same team twice (similar to survivor/knockout)(3) You receive the number of points equal to what your team scored(4) Your selection must be logged before kickoff of the game you choose(5) The Regular Season winner is the person with the most points at the end of the 16-game season 6) Every participant will select one BYE week. You can choose any week you want. You don't need to select that week in advance. If you fail to make a selection by Kickoff time and you have not used your BYE week, then you will automatically get a BYE for that week. 7) Playoffs: The top 12 participants by points at the end of the regular season will make the playoffs. Then, those 12 people will pick the one real playoff team whose playoff points they want. The regular season winner picks first, the second place finisher picks second and so on. The 12th place finisher is stuck with the last team not chosen. Regular season points do not count toward playoff totals. In case of a tie, the playoff champion will be the team that advances the furthest.8) Know the rules well so you can break them effectively.

So put it together and it's - Liking ____ Bengals (Li kahn _____ Ben Ghouls)

Picture 1 = Animals "Sense" a storm is coming
Picture 2 = Kh"AN"
Picture 3 = "ATI"re
Picture 4 = "Ben" Coates
Picture 5 = "GHOULS" = gals

Editor's Note: The following is a news release issued by the Mercer County administration.
Grab a shovel and help the Mercer County Park Commission and Friends of Hopewell Valley Open Space reclaim 40 acres of forestland in Hopewell Township.
Volunteers are needed for a massive reforestation project that calls for planting more than 3,000 trees at the Hollystone Preserve this November. The 108-acre tract off Fiddlers Creek Road was preserved in 2010 by local land trusts and municipal government, creating a crucial link between the woods of Baldpate Mountain and Washington Crossing State Park.
The Park Commission and Friends of Hopewell Valley Open Space recently partnered to restore more than eight acres atop the neighboring Baldpate Mountain Preserve. They are joining forces again at Hollystone to restore 40 acres of abandoned agricultural field back to healthy forest, increasing the size of the largest tract of contiguous woods in the Hopewell Valley.
Park Commission planting days are as follows: Thursday, Nov. 8, from 9 a.m. to noon or from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m.; and Friday, Nov. 9, from 9 a.m. to noon or from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m.
To sign up for the Nov. 8-9 plantings, contact Jenn Rogers at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Friends of Hopewell Valley Open Space planting days are as follows: Tuesdays, Nov. 6, 13, 20 and 27, from 9 a.m. to noon. To sign up for any of the Tuesday plantings, contact Beth Craighead at email@example.com.
Students should take note that the Nov. 8 and 9 planting dates coincide with the school break for the New Jersey Education Association convention. Earn volunteer hours for National Honor Society or college applications. And planting trees is a great way for parents to experience community service with their children while having fun outside.
Volunteers should bring shovels and work gloves if you have them (extra shovels and gloves will be provided).

April 25, 2014
Davey Johnson of the Washington Nationals and Bob Melvin of the Oakland Athletics have been chosen as managers of the year.
Johnson easily won the NL honor on Tuesday after the Nationals bolted to the best record in baseball. Melvin was picked narrowly for the AL award over Baltimore's Buck Showalter in voting by the Baseball Writers' Association of America.
Johnson, who turns 70 in January, was honored for the second time. He was tabbed as the AL's top manager in 1997, hours after he resigned from the Orioles in a feud with owner Peter Angelos.
Melvin also became a two-time winner, having been chosen in 2007 with Arizona.

Hi, I'm Cassie & very new to this. I want to meet other mothers & familys to help with questions and share ideas. Is anyone else 31 weeks or having/have a girl. I'm scared because I want to give birth all natural. I'm also scared because I'm having a girl. I had an attitude growing up & I'm scared she will be the same.
Welcome to the site and congrats on your girl. Do you have a name picked out yet? I also have a little girl. she will be 5 months old next friday. She is the sweetest little thing. As far as the attitude it concerned you'll know what to do when you get there. Most girls have attitudes, i think it comes with the territory. If you're super concerned that she'll be hard to handle just make sure you raise her to be respectful. If you have any questions feel free to ask, everyone on here is usually really helpful.
Welcome to the strongmom's site. I'm so glad that you found us. You must be really excited to be progressing in your pregnancy and congrats on having a girl! :) My best suggestion is to worry about one thing at a time....or maybe not worry at all, lol. You can face the attitude issues when and if they arise, for now focus on having a healthy pregnancy and the excitement of looking to meet your daughter!
I have had 4 little girls and every single one of them have had attitudes. That is not a bad thing though. Each one of my girls was indpendent and believed they could do anything. They did not take it well when they were told by boys that they couldn't do something just because they were girls. My girls acted just the same as my two boys. Having an attitude is fine as long as you teach them to be respectful and compassionate to others. I just found out the other day that I am once again pregnant and I hope that it is a girl but a boy will be just as good.
I was going to ask in your other post what you were having! :-) Congrats on your girl. :-) Do you have a name picked out already? I think the best thing to do as far as attitudes go is to make sure to connect with other mothers in mommy groups and figure out how to raise a loving, compassionate and respectful child. Talk to people you know who have children that you really like and ask them what they do with their kids to help them be that way. Everyone needs some help now and then - you'll do just fine.
My fiance and I refer to this woman we saw in Lowes a few years back as super mom. When she came in carrying her son he was screaming bloody murder. She very calmly put him in the bucket seat in the cart as he is still screaming... then leaned over to his ear and said something.... QUIET!!!! not a peep came out of that kid. I have no clue what she said, but whatever it was she didn't have to shout it or say it more than once.
Congratulations! As the father of three girls, I too often worry about attitude, but what can you do? Being a parent is an odyssey... like Forrest Gump once said... you never know what you're going to get! Good luck and welcome to Strong Moms!

There was a time investors loved inefficiencies.
How's this for an inefficiency: According to data provided by Cleve Rueckert of Birinyi & Associates, 78 percent of the S&P 500 is currently moving with the market.
That's right—almost everybody is doing the same thing, thanks to computers, ETFs, flash trading and everything else that has made real investing, certainly the Peter Lynch style, seem like a joke.
It wasn't always this way. Back in April the correlation was more like 50 percent. And if you go back further to the good old days of the mid-90s, according to Rueckert, it was around 30 percent.
Those were the days when good, old-fashioned stock-picking still meant something—when inefficiencies meant betting against a group of investors who disagreed on the fundamentals of a company.
The trouble this time is that betting against this inefficiency, using classic fundamental research, can be meaningless when stocks move largely based on nothing having to do with underlying fundamentals.
As we focus on Man vs. Machines, one big question all investors should be asking: If the market has become its own self-fulfilling prophecy, can this possibly have a happy ending?
Or is an "event" in the offing? Nobody can say for sure, but my guess is that the "fat finger" fiasco from May was simply a tap on the shoulder.

Different countries have different rules about how much a piece of artwork must be changed before it classed as a 'derivative work.'
That being said, if it's a character or some other uniquely-identifiable thing, especially if it's used for commercial purposes, it could fall under the copyright law of a character, or trademark law.
'Copyright' is the right to copy something. If you draw an original picture of your favourite anime character, the picture itself would be copyright to you, but the character in that picture would be copyright to its copyright holders. Whether that is a perfect copy or a hand-drawn copy, it's still a copy of that character.
So technically, drawing a picture of your favourite anime character, unless you own the copyright of that character, is a violation of the copyright of the character's creator.
As far as copying things like an apple from a photo, copyright laws in some countries state that the photographer holds the copyright of his/her photos, and copyright law is intended to protect the copyright of the photograph, not the rights of the subject of the photograph.
So if you copy a photograph in a way that's identifiable as a copy of the photograph, then you could be breaking copyright law. It depends on whether your 'copy' is different enough to be considered a derivative work. If you only copy part of the photograph, then your copy could come under 'fair use' law.
Many countries have signed a treaty that protects the copyrights of their citizens in all the countries who have signed that teaty. I believe it's the URAA:
But the intent of copyright is so that people can have control, for a finite period of time, over the works that they create so that they can copy those works for commercial purposes.
Copyright law is not the same in every country, but copyright law is a legal mechanism. So the answer to 'What is protected by copyright?' is not clear-cut.

(Fes, Marrakech, High Atlas Mountain)
Impersonating shades of scarlet and crimson, the Atlas Mountains rise up from the desert floor like something not entirely real; clay Berber villages hugging the valley sides while walnut groves thrive against all odds.
Morocco has fascinated Westerners for centuries and taken visitors back to a slower time of mint tea sipped in tiled courtyards and sun-drenched bazaars selling hand-knotted carpets. An exotic gateway to the African continent, Morocco's stunning landscapes and rich cultural heritage make it a tailor-made destination for even the well-seasoned traveler. From winding narrow alleyways through bustling medinas, to the towering cliff faces of the Atlas Mountains, your customized journey will introduce you to the splendid highlights of this astonishing country. In the evenings, relax in a mixture of dazzling riads and fine hotels that offer extraordinary surroundings and Moroccan charms.
Discover the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Fez with your private vehicle and guide and visit the many blacksmithing, leather working, silk and tapestry workshops that have been in existence for over 100 years. As you make your way to Marrakech, explore the rugged terrain of the Middle Atlas Mountain range and stop in at the Berber village of Immouzer de Kandar. Continuing on to Marrakech, explore the 12th century Koutoubia Mosque, the El-Bahia Palace, and the famous Saadian Tombs. Experience an off-road adventure through serpentine, non-graveled roads to one of the highest perched villages of the range, some 2,000 feet high. After marveling at the breathtaking vistas, head back down to a picturesque village and watch the light play on the red clay structures as the sun slowly dips behind purple jagged peaks.
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.
Welcome to Morocco! Upon arrival at the airport, you will be met by our local representative.
A private vehicle with English speaking driver will provide a transfer between Casablanca and Fes. During the transfer, enjoy some brief touring stops including a visit to Meknes, the famed Ismailia capital known for its 40 km long walls and numerous gates. Next, visit Bab Mansour, the Royal stables, the amazing markets and also the popular Jewish quarter. Before arriving in Fes, explore the ruins of the ancient city of Volubilis and the holy city of Moulay Idriss. Upon arrival into Fes, a hotel drop-off is provided.
Renovated from ruins, Riad Maison Bleue, the sister property to La Maison Bleue, is an elegant hotel that successfully combines traditional Moroccan influences with modern sensibilities. The 18 suites, comfortable restaurant, private spa and hammam, well-equipped gym and intimate bar exude an air of discreet luxury. The main courtyard, with its swimming pool and lush garden is surrounded by three guest rooms and a Moorish salon. Here you will be welcomed upon arrival with a bowl of orange-blossom scented milk and almond-stuffed dates. Six of the suites overlook this courtyard, where the palm trees, mandarin trees and pool combine to create an oasis of calm. The hotel offers a choice of two 'a la carte' menus comprising traditional Moroccan cuisine or international dishes. There is also a room service menu available.
A private vehicle with English speaking driver will be at your disposal for the day.
Explore the cultural and spiritual center of Morocco during this full day tour of Fes. Also known as Fes el Bali, this UNESCO World Heritage Site was founded in the 9th century, and is home to the world's oldest university. The city of Fes reached its true economic and cultural height in the 13th–14th centuries under the Merinids, when it replaced Marrakech as the capital of the kingdom. Although the political capital of Morocco was transferred to Rabat in 1912, Fes has retained its status as the country's Artisan centre. Artisan workshops in the medina are as active today as they were 100 years ago, and strongly contribute to the city's industrial economy. Trades such as blacksmithing, leather working, ceramics, silk, tapestries, and sculpting are still practiced in these workshops today. The original ramparts still protect this ancient city and its estimated 9000 narrow passageways and bustling streets.
Travel in a privately driven vehicle from Fes to Marrakech, making a lunch stop en-route. Explore the rugged terrain of the Middle Atlas Mountain range, boasting towering cliff faces, and incredible passes. Drive by the scenic berber villages of Immouzer de Kandar and the university town of Ifrane for a glimpse into rural living in Morocco. Explore the Kasbah of Ras El Ain and mingle amongst the merchants to find the perfect gift. The approximate travel time is 7.5 hours.
La Maison Arabe, a legendary hotel located in the romantic medina of Marrakech, includes 26 rooms and suites, three restaurants, a swimming pool, spa and cooking school.
Your tour usually starts at the 12th century Koutoubia Mosque. This mosque's beautiful minaret dominates the skyline of Marrakech and can be seen from almost every approach to the city thanks to a long-standing planning ordinance that forbids any other building in the old city to rise above the height of a palm tree. You will also visit the El-Bahia Palace, this 19th century palace is elaborate in its decoration and was built over a period of seven years for Ba Ahmed, the son of the Grand Vizier Si Moussa. There are row after row of apartments—that once housed Ahmed's harem—a trapezoidal garden, a huge tiled courtyard, and many hidden treasures, both in the form of antique objects d'art and the palace's convergence of Andalusian and Moorish architecture. One of most visited sites in Morocco is the Saadian Tombs which were only accessible via the mosque next door. However, in 1917 they were opened to the public and can now be accessed via a narrow passage that leads to an enclosed garden watched over by two mausoleums that include more than one hundred mosaic decorated tombs. The Koranic School Medersa Ben Youssef which is a Theological college founded by the Merenid Sultan Abu Hassan in the 14th century, and restored in 1564 by the Saadians who made it the largest theological college in the Maghreb and a rival to the important Medersa Bou Inania in Fés.
For those of you who are interested we can arrange a cooking class for you. After the tour you will head to one of the traditional riads where you will meet up with your personal chef. You will have an orientation where you will look at the recipes together, then divide up the tasks before you start cooking. All of this takes about 4 hours and than of course it's time to try your own creations.
Enjoy time at leisure to explore at your own pace, or relax at your hotel.
A private vehicle with English speaking driver will provide a transfer between Marrakech and the High Atlas Mountain region. The approximate travel time is 1 hour.
The High Atlas Mountain region boasts a wide variety of trekking possibilities, and is suitable for visitors of all ages. For those unable to meet the physical demands of trekking with equipment, mule support for transporting bags or travellers can be provided. An experienced guide will accompany each trek, and will provide historical information about the area`s visited. During the trek, a picnic lunch is provided.
The Kasbah du Toubkal is an extraordinary venture, the product of an imaginative Berber and European partnership. There is a shared belief that the beauty of the Toubkal National Park should be accessible to all who respect it. To this end the Kasbah has been transformed using traditional methods, from the home of a Feudal Caid into an unprecedented haven; one that provides a variety of accommodation and event possibilities to meet differing requirements.
Prepare for a day of exploration and cultural enrichment as you head out aboard a 4-Wheel Drive vehicle into the picturesque surroundings of the High Atlas Mountains Ranges accompanied by a local expert guide. Depart in the morning from Asni to the hamlet if Imlil where the off-road adventure begins. Enjoy the view as you'll be driven along the serpentine, non-graveled roads to one of the highest perched villages of the range, some 2000 feet high. En-route, marvel at the many terrace-lined towns and small mud-brick houses. Make a stop along the way to the local old hydraulic and olive press which to this day is still in use. A visit to the Takherkhort Reserve is also scheduled where you can enjoy a walk through native flora and fauna, stopping along the way to take some photos of the Barbary sheep and the over 150 species of birdlife. Upon your arrival to the Mountain Lodge you will feel the greatest sense of homeliness and comfort by the welcoming scent of freshly baked bread, as the local woman demonstrate Berber hospitality at its finest. As the ancient oven continues to bake, you will be seated on a panoramic terrace and served local delicacies and of course some of that freshly baked bread as you admire the almost surreal surroundings. From here, you will be driven to the town of Tahanoute, a picturesque village set amongst a variety of olive groves, and citrus trees for an opportunity to admire the red clay structures built according traditional Berber construction techniques. A local resident will prepare a home-cooked meal for your enjoyment, with a special "table-setting" atop their roof. This opportunity allows you to experience the everyday life of these mountain people.
A private vehicle with English speaking driver will provide a transfer from the High Atlas Mountain region to Casablanca. The approximate travel time is 4 hours.

"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!"

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.

"We finally returned from the most magical vacation in Morocco and we cannot thank Lily and Kensington Tours enough!! This trip was beyond amazing and we are so appreciative for everything done to make this trip happen last minute for us!
We had a spectacular tour guide that spoke 8 languages, Ismail, and the friendliest and warmest driver, Said, whom made the experience absolutely phenomenal! Not only did we learn and see, but we laughed, danced, ate like pigs, kissed camels and snakes, ran in the Sahara desert under the stars, and enjoyed life - which is the best gift of all!

"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!"

"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!"

"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! "

"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. "

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..."

"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!"
