Call us on 858 345 1761 to start planning your vacation to Ol Pejeta Bush Camp or take a look at our itineraries to Laikipia and Northern Kenya
Ol Pejeta is a traditional bush camp in the Laikipia region. The six simple safari tents are set along the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River in the Ol Pejeta Conservancy and on clear days there are beautiful views of Mount Kenya and the Loldigas.
Ol Pejeta Bush Camp is run by Alex Hunter, who was Kenyan born and moved back there several years ago to set up the camp. He is a renowned guide specializing in walking safaris and he and his wife, Diana, make excellent and entertaining hosts with their intimate knowledge of Kenya and the local area.
Alex is passionate about promoting the conservation efforts that are going on in the Ol Pejeta Conservancy and encourage their guests to join in. They can also arrange visits to the nearby Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary, which was set up by renowned primatologist Jane Goodall, and is home to nearly 50 rescued chimpanzees. They also have a hide, which, if guests are staying for four nights or longer, can be used to sleep out in. Ol Pejeta also offer guests the opportunity to have a behind the scenes look and learn about the work in the Ol Pejeta Conservancy.
There is plenty of game in the area, including elephant, lion, cheetah and the rare Grevy's zebra. Since February 2007 the conservancy is the biggest rhino sanctuary in East Africa and is home to four of the last seven known Northern White Rhinos.
Ol Pejeta Bush Camp has six tents with twin beds, accommodating a total of 12 guests. The camp can also be booked exclusively for a family or group of four or more for a small supplement per night. Further temporary tents can be added for larger groups if necessary.
There is no age restriction for children to stay at Ol Pejeta Bush Camp but parents will need to be responsible for their children due to the open and unfenced nature of the camp. If you have questions, please ask your Scott Dunn consultant for advice.
At Ol Pejeta Bush Camp you can join the conservation team in tracking lions and cheetahs. Learn how to use radio-tracking equipment. And assist with elephant and general wildlife monitoring with resident rangers and researchers. All the guides are experts from the local area and are happy to share their knowledge and passion for the wildlife with you.
At Ol Pejeta Bush Camp you can join a day and night game drive, visits the Morani Information Center
or take a guided visit to the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary. You are also encouraged to visit local community projects such as schools. It is also possible to help with Rhino tracking with the Ol Pejeta rangers (maximum 2 guests per patrol) and assist with individual rhino assessments with researcher identification material.
Location & Directions
Laikipia and Northern Kenya, Kenya
Ol Pejeta Bush Camp is located on the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River on the Conservancy. Set in nearly 100,000 acres in the Laikipia region of central Kenya, right on the Equator next to Mount Kenya itself.
When to go
Ol Pejeta Bush Camp is open all year except during the rains in April-May, and November.
The main season is in January and February, when the weather is hottest and driest. At this time, the animals in the wildlife parks tend to congregate more around the watercourses, making them easier to spot.
Northern and eastern Kenya temperatures vary from highs of up to 40°C during the day to less than 20°C at night. Rainfall in this area is sparse and, when it does occur, is often in the form of violent storms. July is usually the driest month, and November the wettest.

DETROIT (AP) -- Pavel Datsyuk and Niklas Kronwall scored 56 seconds apart in the third period to give the Detroit Red Wings a 3-2 comeback win over the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday night.
Scores | Standings | Stats | Roster | Schedule | Transactions | Injuries | Depth
Datsyuk added an assist, and Nicklas Lidstrom also scored for Detroit, which won its 11th consecutive home game. Ian White had two assists, and Jimmy Howard stopped 29 shots.
Matt D'Agostini and Alexander Steen scored for St. Louis, and Jason Arnott and Kevin Shattenkirk both had two assists. Brian Elliott made 29 saves.
Datsyuk tied the game at 2 with 8:41 left, deflecting White's shot out of the air off the rush for his 12th goal. Kronwall netted his eighth with a wrist shot from the left point with 7:45 remaining.
Lidstrom put Detroit on the board during a power play with 1:03 left in the second period. He scored his eighth of the season when he beat Elliott by one-timing a carom off the boards from the left point.
D'Agostini gave the Blues a 1-0 lead with a power-play goal 6:51 in. He tipped Shattenkirk's shot from the point out of the air and past Howard for his eighth goal.
Steen made it 2-0 with another power-play effort with 6:52 left in the middle period. Howard seemingly had Arnott's shot in his pads, but the puck trickled between his legs. Steen put it into the empty net as he skated behind Howard for his 13th goal.

AUSTIN — Gov. Rick Perry has the opportunity for a political do-over this week in a critical debate that he hopes will get his sagging campaign back on track after subpar debate performances and a plunge in the polls.
Conversely, another poor showing in Tuesday's Republican debate in New Hampshire could plunge him deeper into a hole, making it even harder for the one-time GOP front-runner to regain the momentum he enjoyed in the opening weeks of his campaign.
Perry's performance at the last debate in Florida was universally panned and contributed to a downturn that knocked him out of the lead in the Republican nomination battle. While Perry was falling, Atlanta businessman Herman Cain was surging, and Mitt Romney, a former governor of Massachusetts, was holding steady as the current front-runner.
A new Granite State Poll in New Hampshire, which conducts the first-in-the-nation primary, showed Perry in fifth place with only 4 percent, while Romney was a strong first place with 37 percent. But other recent national polls placed Perry toward the front of the pack, in second or third place, despite his drop in support.
In a positive development for Perry last week, his campaign announced that the governor had scooped up a hefty $17 million in contributions in just seven weeks. Perry also delivered a well-received speech to conservative activists in Washington, D.C., on Friday, although a controversy ensued after Dallas pastor Robert Jeffress, who endorsed Perry at the event, later described the Mormon faith as a "cult." Romney is a Mormon.
Perry needs to appear articulate and focused in Tuesday's debate and would be well-advised to avoid petty -- and distracting -- exchanges with Romney and other candidates, some analysts said. Sponsored by The Washington Post and Bloomberg News, the debate at Dartmouth College will focus on the economy, giving Perry an opening to spotlight the centerpiece of his campaign -- his pledge to "get America working again."
"He's got to communicate his positions ... in a way that doesn't look like he just woke up this morning and had the idea," said Chris Ingram, a Republican consultant in Tampa who is not aligned with a candidate. "He's got to quit worrying about the zingers on Mitt Romney and really focus on what the problem is, what Rick Perry's solution is, and how he's going to execute it."
Perry's opponents, though, may be likely to continue attacks on what they perceive as Perry weaknesses -- his depiction of Social Security as a "Ponzi scheme" and his support of a 2001 Texas law allowing illegal immigrants to receive in-state college tuition. Perry has defended his position on those issues, saying he has no intention of dismantling Social Security benefits for elderly Americans and portraying himself as the toughest candidate in the race when it comes to dealing with border security.
Other issues that have surfaced since the last debate could emerge in Tuesday's nationally televised confrontation.
The Post reported that the Perry family used a hunting camp with a racially offensive name, but Perry's campaign said the family painted over the name and strongly rejects racial intolerance. Even some of Perry's critics in the Legislature defended the governor and said he is not a racist.
Religion also entered the picture last week after Jeffress, pastor of the 10,000-member First Baptist Church of Dallas, endorsed Perry at the conservative Values Voters Summit and later told reporters that Mormonism is a cult. Romney and former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, another GOP presidential contender, are both Mormons. Perry spokesman Mark Miner said Perry does not share Jeffress' opinion, saying the governor "does not believe it is a cult." Jeffress did not mention Perry rivals in his endorsement but made it clear he prefers Perry over Romney.
Perry, who practiced in a mock debate before his first debate in California, cleared his schedule of public events Sunday and today. Campaign spokeswoman Katherine Cesinger declined to say whether the governor plans to use that period for debate preparation, saying the campaign does not discuss internal strategy. "The best thing he can do right now -- and is doing -- to prepare for the debate is to talk to everyday Americans," she said.
Political experts said Perry's efforts to reboot his campaign obviously will go beyond the debates and will presumably emphasize his proven strength at fundraising and grassroots campaigning. Perry, who has never lost a race, has a team of longtime advisers who have assembled well-organized operations in key states.
"When you start a race with such fanfare, you're going to hit a few potholes, and it depends on how he reacts to that," said Chip Felkel, an unaligned consultant in Greenville, S.C. "I don't believe by any stretch of the imagination he's out of it."
Pamela Tucker of Greenland, N.H., the state's deputy House speaker and a Perry supporter, said the governor got a strong reception at recent appearances in New Hampshire. "He was right on message with jobs and the economy, and he did really well," she said. "As he continues to talk to voters, his poll numbers will go up."
But others say that it will be difficult, if not impossible, for Perry to regain lost support from conservative Tea Party activists because of his backing of the in-state tuition law, which generated charges that he is soft on illegal immigration. His 2007 order requiring Texas schoolgirls to be immunized for the sexually transmitted human papillomavirus that causes cervical cancer has also generated a backlash among Tea Party activists.
"He's been on the other side of some issues that concern people of New Hampshire," said Karen Testerman of Franklin, N.H., founder of Cornerstone Policy Research, a conservative think tank. "It appears to me he has declined in support."
Testerman hasn't endorsed a candidate, but she said Perry is "not on my short list."
Despite Cain's recent surge, some experts say they believe that the GOP race remains essentially what it has been since the outset -- a two-man scramble between Romney and Perry -- and Perry, they say, could still pull it back together.
Tom Jensen, director of Public Policy Polling of Raleigh, N.C., said, "This is such a fluid race, he could be back in the front-runner seat a month from now."

Green Chemistry Principle #9
Catalytic reagents (as selective as possible) are superior to stoichiometric reagents.
Contributed by Roger A. Sheldon, PhD, Emeritus Professor of Biocatalysis and Organic Chemistry, Delft University of Technology and CEO of CLEA Technologies B.V.
A primary goal of green chemistry is the minimization or preferably the elimination of waste in the manufacture of chemicals and allied products: "prevention is better than cure". This necessitates a paradigm shift in the concept of efficiency in organic synthesis, from one that is focused on chemical yield to one that assigns value to minimization of waste. What is the cause of waste? The key lies in the concept of atom economy: "synthetic methods should be designed to maximize the incorporation of all materials used in the process into the final product". In the reaction scheme we compare, for example, the reduction of a ketone to the corresponding secondary alcohol using sodium borohydride or molecular hydrogen as the reductant. Reduction with the former has an atom economy of 81% while reduction with the latter are 100% atom economic, that is everything ends up in the product and, in principle, there is no waste.
Unfortunately, hydrogen does not react with ketones to any extent under normal conditions. For this we need a catalyst such as palladium-on-charcoal. A catalyst is defined as "a substance that changes the velocity of a reaction without itself being changed in the process". It lowers the activation energy of the reaction but in so doing it is not consumed. This means that, in principle at least, it can be used in small amounts and be recycled indefinitely, that is it doesn't generate any waste. Moreover, molecular hydrogen is also the least expensive reductant and, for this reason, catalytic hydrogenations are widely applied in the petrochemical industry, where the use of other reductants is generally not economically viable. It is only in the last two decades, however, following the emergence of green chemistry, that catalysis has been widely applied in the pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries, with the goal of minimizing the enormous amounts of waste generated by the use of stoichiometric inorganic reagents. This involves the use of the full breadth of catalysis: heterogeneous, homogeneous, organocatalysts and, more recently, Nature's own exquisite catalysts: enzymes. The latter are particularly effective at catalyzing highly selective processes with complex substrates under mild conditions and, hence, are finding broad applications in the pharmaceutical and allied industries. Moreover, they are expected to play an important role in the transition from a chemical industry based on non-renewable fossil resources to a more sustainable bio-based economy utilizing renewable biomass as the raw material, yet another noble goal of green chemistry.

Reese Witherspoon Will Star in Cheryl Strayed's Wild
As adapted by Nick Hornby.
Reese Witherspoon, through her production company, was the first to option Cheryl Strayed's breakaway hit memoir Wild. Author Nick Hornby (High Fidelity, About a Boy) came aboard to write the screenplay, and maybe he did a great job, because now Witherspoon has moved from producer-only to star. There's no director yet, but the film's aiming to start production this fall. Witherspoon is also a producer of Gone Girl; will she show up in that one as well?

Street View applies extra blur to Swiss
Only in Switzerland
So they're only doing it in Switzerland because of Swiss number-plates.
Great. It would appear to have escape insular American notice that all Swiss can, and most at some point do, drive across the border into France, Germany, Austria or Italy. They can even carry on driving and find themselves in any European country.
nice tidy switzerland
i used to live there, i know where you see weed growing on balconys, strippers stepping out for a fag and hash dealers on the street:
"the letters and numbers are bigger"
What twaddle. A casual Google turns up this fascinating resource:
They appear to be no larger than any other European country's typeface and somewhat smaller than the normal British lettering. If they are bigger, we're talking a millimetre or two.
to The Indomitable Gall
The swiss law does not apply to other countries so it would be meaningless for the swiss authorities to ban goggle maps on the ground that they don't protect the privacy of a swiss citizen when in italy or france.
Much more important is the fact that swiss number plates are definitely not larger than UK number plates therefore it appears that our government should have raised the same concerns (if they cared about our privacy)
Small digited Swiss numberplates
As a Brit living in Germany close to the Swiss border, I can definitively state that the Swiss have the number plates with the smallest numbers and letters. All Europeans now have harmonised (more or less) number plates, so that the digits are all of a similar size (Germany, France, Spain, UK etc.). The Swiss, not being in Europe, don't do this. Their digits are even smaller that those found across the Atlantic (as I recall).
I smell excrement of male cow.
p.s. If this get posted twice, sorry - I had to renew my account and the first post wasn't confirmed.
Obscuring license plates is a good idea in Switzerland.
Swiss license plates are issued on a regional/Kantonal basis. Many Kantons publish the license plate together with the name and addresse of the owner; either online, in print and sometimes both. Very handy if you are double parked, but not conceived for a 'Googled' world.
The one aspect I don't understand. With the exception of some very old plates, Swiss plates are smaller than those of it's European neighbors.
Instead of blurring, stamp an image of Heidi onto all the faces and plates.
Then we can all be reminded of her courage and fortitude.
And delicious chocolate.
And secret bank accounts.
Great Sub-heading…
Given the utter dross El Reg normally serves-up in this department I thought you should be congratulated on this occasion.
what a joke...
it really makes my blood boil over this privicy nonsense...
so,,, its like this....
wandering around streetview, you spot a car and can identify a number on a number plate. You fill a form in and send it to DVLA, pay your money and then they will tell you who owns the car. no difrent than what you can do walking down the street yourself....
ok, so if it was in real time, or you can scan for number plates to locate a car... yeah, its a privacy issue as someone could stalk you form the comfort of there computer....
what are the chances of casualy viewing street view and spotting somebody you know driving down the road, or walking down the street.... if they are that bothered, they were proberbly somewhere they should not have been...
I have more issues with the council run street cameras slaping me with tickets for stopping on double yellow lines while i unload my car, and having to go to court to get the fine dropped....
re: nurse pay. 20-26k (band 5) for a high-stress, shift based hospital nursing job that requires a university degree plus extra certifications? No wonder nurses in the UK are leaving in droves. Only place that seems to pay (and treat) nurses worse is Japan.
Ah yes, but how does Google treat the reg-plates of Japanese nurses in Switzerland? Or should one not feed the troll?

Lonely Planet ScrewedMay 1, 2008 at 3:55 pm | Posted in Lifescape | Leave a comment
Lonely Travel's Nasty Surprise
This is some very bad news
for travel publisher Lonely Planet. One of the firm's travel writers
admits in a new book that he never even went to some of the countries
he reviewed, that he made up most of what he wrote and that he
plagiarized the rest. It's an absolute shocker to the company who has
rushed to review and edit all of the books he worked on. He also dealt
drugs on the side to offset his low salary and accepted free travel, in
contravention of company rules.
Thomas Kohnstamm also claims in a new book that he accepted free travel, in contravention of the company's policy.
His revelations have rocked the travel publisher, which sells more than six million guides a year.
Mr Kohnstamm, whose book is titled Do Travel Writers Go To Hell?, said
yesterday that he had worked on more than a dozen books for Lonely
Planet, including its titles on Brazil, Colombia, the Caribbean,
Venezuela, Chile and South America.
In one case, he said he had not even visited the country he wrote
"They didn't pay me enough to go Colombia," he said.
"I wrote the book in San Francisco. I got the information from a chick
I was dating — an intern in the Colombian Consulate.
"They don't pay enough for what they expect the authors to do."
An email to management, posted on the company's authors'
forum, describes Mr Kohnstamm's book as "a car crash waiting to
"Why did you (management) not understand that when you hire a constant
stream of new, unvetted people, pay them poorly and set them loose,
that someone, somehow was going to screw you?" author Jeanne Oliver
Ms Oliver, an experienced travel writer having written for Lonely
Planet on eastern Europe, France, Germany and Greece, admitted to
sending the email, but did not wish to comment further.
Other writers believe some practices described in the book are
widespread. Lonely Planet forbids their authors from accepting gifts or
As to the question posed by Kohnstamm's book,
Do Travel Writers Go To Hell?: A Swashbuckling Tale of High Adventures, Questionable Ethics, and Professional Hedonism,
we're thinking the answer is an enthusiastic yes. At least in his case.
What an amazing liar he is! We're also betting that half of his wild
"adventures in hedonism" in his new book are as fictional as the travel
guides he wrote.

Email Marketing – Getting Your Emails Read!
Email has all but replaced snail mail. The hyper quick, usually reliable medium allows people to near get in touch all with the click of a button. And now businesses can quickly send coupons, info, promotions, and other enticing things to potential customers.
Due to its low costs and solid rate of returns, email marketing is now one of the most popular promotional tools in the world. But running a successful email campaign isn't as easy as throwing a discount and a few paragraphs into an email and clicking send. You'll have to come up with a world class strategy in order to ensure people read and respond to your overtures.
An email marketing campaign can empower just about any kind of business, even traditional bricks-and-mortar companies. Email also allows you to get in touch with people on their smartphones and tablets. In general, email marketing is a great way to increase engagement and build relationships with customers.
Why Email Marketing Rocks
Email is a great tool for any business due to its low costs and high speed of contact. With email you don't have to print up expensive flyers and pay for postage. You just spend some time on your computer formatting a nice email letter and perhaps using a publishing program to create a coupon. Then you click send. No stamps, no licking nasty envelopes shut.
Read on to find out how to build such a strategy!
Building an Email List
You need to build up a list of email addresses. The quality of your list will go a long way in determining the quality of your email campaign. In order to build up a high quality list, you should try a variety of methods.
If you have a bricks-and-mortar business, such as a restaurant, start trying to solicit information from customers. You can do this by offering contests for those who sign up for your mailing list, and other incentives. Also, set up a website and let people know if they join your mailing list they will be entered into a raffle, or something similar. You can also offer freebies, and other gifts to people who sign up for your emailing list.
At all stages people should be "opting in," or choosing to join the list. If you just email random people you will gain the reputation of a spammer and that can severely damage your brand image. Also, make sure people can easily opt out by offering a link through the email. The sad fact is that some people may come to realize that they aren't interested in your promotions. That's fine, let them go their own way.
Do not buy an email list! For one, the quality of the list will be low and most of the customers will not be interested in your products. Second, you could be violating anti spam laws, such as the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, and could end up in legal troubles.
So what happens after you build your list? The fun is just getting started! Having a great list is a good way to start your campaign but now you will have to build high quality content to draw customers in.
Building the Right Promotions
So you've got the body of your email written, the subject line is in place, and you are looking for an enticing promotion? Well, let's go over a few things.
First, don't send out small promotions, like 5% off. Customers will be uninterested and will start to ignore your messages. Second, for the same reasons, make sure you are selling only high quality stuff through email. Anything that damages trust and interest can cause lasting and irrevocable damage. And with most email lists, people can unsubscribe with a simple click of the button, or simply block your email.
Building Content
Getting names and email addresses is just the beginning. You then have to nurture your list and build a relationship with customers. You can do this by providing helpful information and high-quality content. Customers will see you as an expert and friend, and this builds trust so that you can then start making offers.
-Some quick tips-
• Keep your subject line short and enticing.
• Make sure you don't use more than one or two paragraphs worth of content in the body of the email.
• In the body, put the most important content first.
• Most of the time you should make an offer or give a promotion. This will ensure that people pay attention to your emails.
• Double check for grammar errors and confusing content.
• Sign off with a friendly good bye and provide some contact information.
• Avoid all CAPS and any other thing else that resembles spam.
Track Your Success
So how do you know you email campaign is working? There are numerous methods you can use to monitor your email campaign. Specialized software can tell you how many people open your email and how many people click through to any provided links. Another method is to make up special email only coupons and see how many people turn them in. You can even set up autoresponder programs to reply to people who make inquiries!
You should be prepared, a lot of people will ignore your emails. An open rate about 25% is considered good! Don't worry though, remember that emails are free!
Also, make sure you check with your national government and understand all of the involved marketing laws!
A Final Tip
You should always treat your potential customers like gold. That includes people who walk into your shop, and people who get in touch via email. Be quick, polite, and helpful should anyone send you an email asking for more information, or wanting to make a remark or complaint. Courteous customer service always leads to a stronger business.

A 17-year-old has been arrested after he was spotted with an air rifle near a Chartwell property in Hamilton.
Hamilton senior sergeant Robbie Hermann said a member of the public contacted police about 4pm after they saw a male with a rifle in Magee Place.
"The person was concerned they had seen a person looking through a scope of a firearm, contacted us so we went and checked it out. Found it and found the male."
Hermann said the teenager did not appear to be a threatening anyone. What he was doing with the air rifle was still to be determined.

10% Cash Back
- How does the 10% cash-back offer work?
As an active ShopSmarter member, you can earn 10% cash back on every eligible online purchase you make at over 1,000 stores when you use our links to shop at those stores. You can earn up to $1,000 every membership year in 10% cash back, which will be automatically credited to your Savings Center account once a retailer notifies us about a qualifying purchase. To qualify for 10% cash back, you must make your purchases through US-based websites (which carry .com extensions); if you make a purchase through a Canadian website (i.e., a site that uses a .ca extension), it won't be eligible for 10% cash back. Please be aware that if you want to ship an order to Canada, you may be re-directed to the retailer's .ca site, and the order will therefore be ineligible for 10% cash back. Also, if you use a coupon that isn't available on the ShopSmarter website, that purchase may not be eligible for 10% cash back.
Savings tips: You can use our search tool to find out whether any specific store participates with ShopSmarter and to reach that retailer's ShopSmarter page.
You can also use our search tool to look for specific products — and to find the lowest possible price on any product available at our participating retailers! Just type a description of the product into the search bar, using anything from a common term ("basketball sneakers") to an exact description ("adidas Boys' D Rose 773 Iv Basketball Sneakers from Finish Line"), to see a list of every item matching your chosen term. You can keep narrowing down your search results by using any or all the four filters — Price, Category, Brand (e.g., adidas), and Store (e.g., Macy's).
Plus, the search results will show you the prices on every item offered at participating retailers, allowing instant comparisons, as well as any available coupon deals that could further reduce the price you pay (along with your 10% cash-back savings).
Thanks to our search tool, you can shop with greater peace of mind, confident that you've found the best possible deal at more than 1,000 online stores!
Be sure to check out our Terms of Service for complete information about the 10% cash-back benefit.
- How do I make sure my purchase qualifies for 10% cash back?
To be eligible for 10% cash back, you must be an active ShopSmarter member when you place your order, and the purchase must be made using a link from the ShopSmarter website. The purchase must also be made via a U.S.-based website (i.e., it has to use a .com extension); orders placed on Canadian websites (which use .ca extensions) don't qualify for 10% cash back. Please be aware that if you want to ship an order to Canada, you may be re-directed to the retailer's .ca site, and the order will therefore be ineligible for 10% cash back. Also, please note that if you use a coupon that isn't available on the ShopSmarter website, that purchase may not be eligible for 10% cash back.
For full details on how purchases qualify for 10% cash back, please review the Terms of Service.
- Why wouldn't a purchase of mine qualify for 10% cash back?
There are a few reasons why your purchase might not qualify for 10% cash back: You might not have made your purchase in the browser window that opened when you clicked the "Visit Store" button, for example, or you might have returned the purchase to the retailer, either of which would make it ineligible for 10% cash back. Please be sure to read the Terms of Service for more information about why a purchase might not qualify for 10% cash back.
- How do you calculate my 10% cash back?
The amount is determined by dividing the subtotal you pay for a qualifying purchase (i.e., the total minus taxes, shipping and handling, and other charges) by 10. If your purchase qualifies for any discount(s) or coupon offer(s) from the online retailer, the 10% cash back will be calculated using the subtotal price you pay after any such discounts are applied. Because you can earn up to $1,000 in total cash-back payments (including special promotions that may be offered from time to time) per membership year, you may receive less than 10% cash back on the order that reaches your annual $1,000 limit. For more information, please read our Terms of Service.
- When do I receive my cash-back earnings?
You'll receive a check for your cash back earnings every month for all qualifying purchases made the from the previous month. Therefore, you'll receive a check for every month you shopped and earned cash back through ShopSmarter. Please allow 2-3 weeks for cash back payouts to process. All cash back earnings will be tracked in your Savings Center within 5-7 days of your purchase.
- When I check my Savings Center account, I see "Pending," "Paid," and "Declined" in the "Status" column. What do those terms mean?
- "Pending" means an online retailer has informed us that it's shipped a cash-back qualifying purchase of yours.
- "Paid" means the cash back was approved and sent to you as part of your payout check. that Your Savings Center will show you all "paid" cash back you've earned since the start of your membership.
- "Declined" is used to indicate a purchase ineligible for cash back. For example, if you return a purchase that would have earned you cash back, you'll see that cash back amount marked as "declined" in your Savings Center.
- What does a red purchase in my Savings Center account mean?
If a purchase listed in red, it means that an item from your purchase has been returned and is therefore ineligible for 10% cash back.
- Why doesn't every participating store offer a free shipping coupon?
You'll find quite a few free shipping coupons on our site, but you'll also find all sorts of other offers, including percentage-off discounts, "buy one, get one free" deals, and much more. Every coupon offer is determined by the individual retailer. All our participating stores refresh and update their offers all the time, so if the deal you're looking for isn't available, we encourage you to check again shortly after!
- Do retailers place any restrictions on the use of their coupons?
You may have to enter a coupon code at checkout to redeem coupon offers at some retailers but not at others. Several retailers also limit their customers to one coupon redemption on any purchase. If a retailer places limits on a specific coupon offer, those restrictions will appear when you click "Visit Store" on that coupon.
Special Offers
- What is the Special Offers page on ShopSmarter?
The Special Offers page is your one-stop spot for exceptional savings on top products and services. You can view deals and discounts on subscriptions services, health and fitness memberships, groceries and other things you love, all in one place.
- How do I get to the Special Offers page?
You can navigate to the Special Offers page by clicking the "Special Offers" tab, now visible in your main menu next to "Savings Center".
- If I purchase an offer from the Special Offers page, will I earn cash back?
Right now, you will only receive savings specific to the offer itself. Offers claimed via the Special Offers page are not yet eligible for cash back earnings and will not be tracked in your Savings Center.
- How do I save an offer for later?
Just click the star on the offer tile to save it. You can view all your saved offers in the "My Saved Offers" tab on the Special Offers page.

Howard Goodall – Red Dwarf Theme lyrics
It's cold outside
There's no kind of atmosphere
It's freezing cold, more or less
Let me fly far away from here
Fun Fun Fun, in the Sun Sun Sun
I want to lie, Shipwrecked in-comatose
Drinking fresh mango juice
Gold fish shows
Standing on my toes
Fun Fun Fun in the Sun Sun Sun
Fun Fun Fun in the Sun Sun Sun

CUDA Spotlight: GPU-Accelerated Medical Image Processing
By Calisa Cole, posted Dec 02 2011 at 12:00PM
This week's Spotlight is on Anders Eklund, a SPh.D. student at Linköping University in Sweden. Anders is affiliated with the University's Center for Medical Image Science and Visualization (CMIV), a multidisciplinary research center.
NVIDIA: Anders, what is your research focused on?
My research is especially focused on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), where you try to find brain activity from magnetic resonance images (MRIs) of the brain. My interests include brain-computer interfaces (BCI) with real-time fMRI, where the fMRI data is processed in real-time as the subject is in the MR scanner. A brain computer interface could help people communicate who are paralyzed or suffer from Locked-In syndrome.
NVIDIA: How did you become interested in this area?
NVIDIA: How does GPU computing play a role in your work?
Another challenge in the medical imaging domain is the amount of data that is collected for a single patient. A 4D (3D + time) computed tomography (CT) dataset can be of the resolution 512 x 512 x 512 x 20 and require as much as 10 GB of storage. To apply image denoising to such a dataset can take several hours on the CPU, compared to 15-20 minutes on the GPU.
NVIDIA: What are some advantages of working with CUDA?
I like the different tools that NVIDIA has developed (like the Visual Profiler) and the fact that NVIDIA continues to improve the CUDA programming model by listening to people who use CUDA.
NVIDIA: As computing becomes more powerful, what can we look forward to?
Anders is currently financed by the Linnaeus center CADICS, funded by the Swedish research council, and the Neuroeconomic research group at Linköping University.

I (Obviously) adore baking! And theres nothing I love more than some super cool, super cute equipment to work with. I am fortunate enough to have good appliances and great things to work with at home, aswell as generous parents who support my hobby. But theres always those few things I will forever lust over!
I have always dreamt of having one of these bad boys sitting on the counter top. They are huge and oh so cool! They will take up space on the counter, but its well deserved. Not only are they functional but they look so cool with all the different colours! I will buy myself one, one day. I will!!
Although I have a press that is over flowing with cookery and bakery books, the heart wants, what the heart wants! Right now, I am loving this book by the talented Irish chef Donal Skehan. His book is filled with spectacular recipes following from his television series. Definitely on my to-buy list!
Le Creuset:
Just look at that picture. Just look at it! I have dreamt of just walking into a kitchen filled with these little gems! So so cute! I would literally cook things in separate pots just to use them all! They are so cute and versatile.
That's my baking wish list (for now!!) What is on yours?

I had mentioned Koko Cocktails awhile back, but had forgotten one minor detail in that every first Friday of the month, they do Bacon & Bourbon night. Yeah, in case you were wondering, "Hmm, how can I totally enjoy a one-two punch to both my heart and liver without going to McDonald's?" here you go. Seeing as how I don't drink liquor and am a much more refined gentleman who enjoys the secrets of the grape, I'll have to pass, but for those of you looking for a good time, head on down. As shown by the comments in that original article, folks really dig on the Koko.
(Thanks again to Tablehopper for reminding me of this. I will try to do better next time, although I break promises like I break hearts.)

Eric Sorensen examines how religious tradition is maintained when in conflict with social convention. The author is specifically interested in how Christianity overcame stigmas of magic and superstition in its practice of exorcism as it extended into Greek and Roman areas of Christian mission. Using an historical-critical approach, he argues for three principal factors at work in confirming the exorcist's place in religious society: cultural adaptation (Near Eastern influences on Greek and Roman thought and practice), a tradition of exorcism founded upon authoritative scriptural example, and innovative theological interpretations applied to that tradition. Eric Sorensen proposes that the exorcist's role was adapted in part by Christianity's interpretation of demonic possession relative to the concept of divine possession long familiar to Greco-Roman sensibilities. Early Christians found a suitable metaphor to express this correlation in the doctrine of the Two Ways, which itself had literary antecedents both in Greek literature and in Christianity's own scriptural tradition.Eric Sorensen examines how religious tradition is maintained when in conflict with social convention.

Indiana Pacers center Roy Hibbert. (AP Photo/Michael Conroy)
The basketball fan in me is beyond psyched for Game 7 of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals between the Miami Heat and Indiana Pacers. The sportswriter in me wants every player on these two proud squads adrenalized and at the top of their game this Monday night. The human in me wants the person who's perhaps been the Pacers' best player in this series, Roy Hibbert, suspended. In the press conference after the Pacers Game 6 victory, the seven-foot center used an anti-gay slur, saying "no homo." Here's the context, which is even worse. Hibbert said, "There was Game 3 here that I felt I let Paul [George] down in terms of having his back when LeBron was scoring in the post or getting into the paint because they stretched me out so much—no homo [laughs]—but I want to be there for him." (The Pacers center also called the press "motherfuckers." Roy was certainly on a roll.)
In every interview I've seen, Roy Hibbert seems like a good person. He's funny, thoughtful and, for what it's worth, terrific in a cameo on Parks & Rec. But this time no one's laughing. That "no homo" nonsense is degrading and the league needs to take a stand. The league needs to stand up not only because it degrades the LGBT community. It degrades Hibbert's colleague, NBA player Jason Collins who came out of the closet last month. It degrades every NBA player who supported Collins and pledged to make the league a more inclusive place. It degrades Golden State Warriors executive—and friend of David Stern—Rick Welts who came out two years ago. Lastly, Roy Hibbert degrades himself. There is no doubt he realizes this. After his press conference, Hibbert reached out on Twitter to Jason Collins, writing, "@jasoncollins34 hey can I get a follow. Would like to discuss something's with you."
That's all good. But the league could send one hell of a message by saying, "We pledged that the NBA would be a safe, nondiscriminatory atmosphere, and even though we recognize how unfair this will seem to Pacers fans and their organization, we are answering to a higher principal. Roy Hibbert therefore will not be playing Game 7."

Episode One
MacGruber forms a second group to investigate the Hellgates, recruiting boy genius Svass-Thai and his amnesiac, gate-sensitive friend, Verizon. Svass-Thai's younger brother picks a fight with Michael Comcast, son of the powerful leader of the Cult of the Black Flame, a cult that allies with demons. In a foxing match in front of a large crowd, including the Baron, the team easily defeats the Cultists, but as the fight comes to a close the Mihn burst through the walls and begin to capture both Michael Comcast and the Princess (daughter of the Baron and Svass-Thai's love interest). The party fights back in the Mihn, rescues the princess, and shows mercy to Comcast.
Episode Two
MacGruber is tapped by Atienti Comcast for an audience, while Svass-Thai and Verizon do some last minute research. Comcast asks MacGruber to break up a sex slave trader (run by a teenager) in the lower levels. MacGruber kidnaps Dallas and takes him to this room where two Black Cult members usher him off. At a bar, an informant approaches MacGruber with information about the kidnapped daughter of a fellow veteran. MacGruber sets forth to investigate. Meanwhile, Svass-Thai and Verizon investigate a possible lead to the Mihn attack implicating the Black Cult behind the Mihn attack as an attempt to kidnap the Princess. Svass-Thai and Verizon arrive at an empty storefront just before MacGruber who arrives just after an enemy shows up. The team defeats the cultist and find Dallas in the middle of some transformation into a demon. The boy is rescued but his memories are gone and it is revealed that he is an eunuch.
Episode Three
Comcast stops by the party to pick up a demonic statute that the party had taken from the Cultists. Svass-Thai discovers hidden blueprints in the Mihn DNA that create a ritual which transports the party to an interactive history lesson of the Mihn. At the pre-parade dinner with the Baron it is revealed that there has never been and never will be any expeditions to the gate, and that the Baron is the leader of the slave trade market as it is Sandy Hill's most precious commodity. The party goes against the advice of the Baron and proclaims the news in front of the population, along with a guarantee that they will go through the Hellgate and end the Rapture. One the way out, Comcast stops them and tells them to look for three Hermits who knows of the Gates.

Contrary to other parts of the world, where breast meat is almighty, in Hungary the most popular parts of the chicken are thighs and drumsticks.

For the second month in a row, the New Orleans casino market brought in more money than the year before, thanks to a strong performance at Harrah's New Orleans.
The three riverboats, land-based casino and slots at the Fair Grounds brought in $53.9 million in July, a 1.9 percent gain, according to figures released Thursday by State Police. That compares with $52.9 million in winnings during July 2013.
Winnings at the Harrah's casino were up 12.4 percent last month to top $28.5 million. That offset the declining business at the three riverboat casinos in the New Orleans market, which were down 8.5 percent to nearly $21.9 million.
The Amelia Belle riverboat posted the smallest decline, with winnings dropping by 3.8 percent to $4 million. Boomtown New Orleans, the oldest riverboat in the market, saw a 9.4 percent decrease in winnings when compared with July 2013, falling to nearly $9.6 million. The Treasure Chest had an even bigger decline, with winnings falling by 9.7 percent, to $8.2 million.
Winnings at the Fair Grounds slots fell by 2.5 percent to nearly $3.6 million.
Statewide, the 14 riverboats, four racetrack casinos and Harrah's brought in nearly $213 million in July, slightly better than the $212.6 million last year. This was the second month in a row gambling winnings were up across Louisiana.
Once again, improved business at the Belle of Baton Rouge and in the Lake Charles market helped the state beat the July 2013 numbers.
Baton Rouge's three riverboats posted a modest 0.4 percent gain over July 2013. But the Belle of Baton Rouge, the city's oldest riverboat, was up 10.7 percent, to $5.4 million. That offset drops in winnings at L'Auberge and Hollywood Casino.
The two riverboats in Lake Charles were up 5 percent, while the Delta Downs racetrack in Vinton posted a 1.3 percent gain.
The Shreveport-Bossier City market, with six riverboats and slots at the Harrah's racetrack, was down 4.5 percent. The Opelousas market, represented by the slots at Evangeline Downs, also was down, by 2.7 percent.

Perspectives | Bombs Targeting Israeli Diplomats and the Iran Connection
17 Feb 2012 00:54Comments
The men -- Saeid Moradi, 28; Mohammad Kharzei, 42; and Masoud Sedaghatzadeh, 31 (pictured) -- were apprehended following an explosion in the two-story house where they had been staying in the residential neighborhood of Sukhumvit. Moradi was apprehended at the scene after he blew off one of his legs attempting to hurl a grenade at police; after he was hospitalized, his second leg was amputated. Kharzei was arrested later on Tuesday as he tried to board a flight to Malaysia. Sedaghatzadeh succeeded in flying to the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur, only to be arrested there Wednesday as he tried to fly on to Iran. Thai police had also been seeking to question a fourth Iranian national, identified as Leila Rohani, who rented the Sukhumvit house, but according to authorities she left the country and is now in Tehran.
In Monday's New Delhi attack, a motorcyclist attached a sticky bomb to a car carrying Tal Yehoshua Koren, the wife of the Israeli defense attaché to India. She remains hospitalized with shrapnel injuries to her spine and liver. The same day, an explosive device was found and defused in a motor vehicle belonging to the Israeli embassy in Tbilisi. No arrests have been made in either incident. Responding to Israeli accusations that the Islamic Republic was directly responsible for the plots, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast declared, "Israel has bombed its embassies in New Delhi and Tbilisi to tarnish Iran's friendly ties with the host countries.... Israel perpetrated the terrorist actions to launch psychological warfare against Iran." After the similarity of the various explosive devices was made public, Israeli Ambassador to Thailand Itzhak Shoham stated, "We can assume that there is the same network of terror." In January, Thai police arrested a Swedish Lebanese man linked to Lebanese Hezbollah, which is closely aligned with the Islamic Republic. The man led police to a large deposit of bomb-making materials, including more than four tons of urea and several gallons of ammonium nitrate; he claimed the materials were intended for transport to another country, which authorities did not name.
This week's events come in the wake of the assassination last month of Iranian nuclear scientist Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan in a Tehran car bombing, the most recent in a series of unsolved attacks targeting Iran's nuclear program in which Israel has been implicated. For perspectives on Ahmadi Roshan's assassination and the context in which it took place, see here.
Following are excerpts from commentaries on this week's bombing incidents and related issues; those whose perspectives we survey range from a London-based scholar of international relations to a former Israeli intelligence agent, from an Indian counterterrorism expert to an analyst for the English-language subsidiary of Iran's state broadcasting network.
"Iran Seems an Unlikely Culprit for the Attacks on Israeli Diplomats"
Arshin Adib-Moghaddam, author of Iran in World Politics: The Question of the Islamic Republic
Let's assume that sections of the military and security apparatus in Iran are responsible for the string of bombings in Georgia, Thailand and India. What would be the motive? The argument that Iran is retaliating for the murder of five civilian nuclear scientists in Iran is not plausible. If Iran wanted to target Israeli interests, it has other means at its disposal. It is hard to imagine that the Iranian government would send Iranian operatives to friendly countries, completely equipped with Iranian money and passports -- making the case against them as obvious as possible.
If the Iranian Revolutionary Guards are as professional, highly trained and politically savvy as we have been told repeatedly by Israeli politicians themselves, if they have successfully trained and equipped the cadres of Hezbollah and other movements with paramilitary wings in the region, then why would they launch such a clumsy and self-defeating operation?
And why India, Georgia and Thailand, three countries that Iran has had cordial relations with during a period when Iran is facing increasing sanctions spearheaded by the United States? A few days ago, India agreed a rupee-based oil and gas deal with Iran and resisted US pressures to join the western boycott of the Iranian energy sector. As a net importer of 12% of Iranian oil, India's total trade with Iran amounted to $13.67bn in 2010-2011. What would be the motive for damaging relations with one of Iran's major trading partners and regional heavyweights?
For Iran it doesn't make sense to risk alienating India by launching an assassination attempt in the capital of the country. Similarly, Iran has good economic and political relations with Georgia and Thailand. Why would the leadership in Tehran risk a major crisis with these countries during this sensitive period when IAEA inspectors are moving in and out of Iran to investigate the country's nuclear programme?
"Iran's Fingerprints Are All Over Clumsy Thai Bomb Attempt"
Michael Ross, former deep-cover officer with the Israel Secret Intelligence Service (Mossad)
National Post
For the better part of my career in the Mossad, it was my job to track, hunt down (and where possible), neutralize Iranian or Hezbollah terrorist cells of the type that clumsily attempted to assassinate Israeli diplomats that played out on the clammy and stifling streets of Bangkok.
While it's easy to deride the incompetence of the Iranians' plot in Thailand (especially when compared to the assassination of scientists involved in Iran's non-conventional weapons projects), this is how Iran and its proxies operate. [...]
Many pundits whose memories are short (or are simply too young to remember these events) have been drawing attention to the aborted attack as proof that this couldn't be the work of the Iranian government on the basis that the sheer amateurism and ineptitude of these attacks don't exhibit the hallmarks of a clever state actor like Iran. In fact, this four-person cell is of the exact type that Iran deploys -- either under the direction and aegis of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps-Qods Force (IRGC-QF) -- or Hezbollah, an otherwise wholly-owned subsidiary of the Iranian regime. This four person cell consisted of three men and one woman; Saeid Moradi (the hapless fellow who lost both legs trying to throw one of his explosive devices at a police unit), Mohamed Khazaei, the cell commander who was caught trying to flee Thailand, Masoud Sedaghatzadeh, most likely the technical and explosives specialist, who was arrested in Kuala Lumpur after trying to escape via Malaysia (a well-known transit point for IRGC-QF/Hezbollah operatives working the Far East), and Leila Rohani, the logistics person who managed to escape and has fled back to Tehran. Ms. Rohani was responsible for renting the safe house and providing other logistical support in Bangkok because being a woman would not attract the attention of the authorities in the same manner as three men of Near Eastern appearance. The fact that they were operating on Iranian identities is entirely consistent with their modus-operendi.
"'India Won't Act Tough Even if Iran's Hand Proven'"
Interview with Ajai Sahni, founding member and executive director of the Institute for Conflict Management
Zee News
Israel has blamed Iran for attacks in India, Georgia and now Thailand. Do you think Israel just jumped the gun, or has it logic to back up its accusation?
Israeli intelligence is usually very good, and they have a strong reputation on this, which they are unlikely to jeopardise by completely fabricated claims. The circumstantial evidence around this case, particularly including the nature of the explosive device and the near simultaneous developments in Tbilisi and Bangkok, is also fairly compelling. In Bangkok, particularly, Iranians have been arrested in connection with the incidents, and there were also antecedent intelligence warnings regarding the threat of Iran-linked terrorist incidents. Despite the very obvious difficulties of understanding why Iran would go for such an operation on Indian soil at this juncture, the Israeli allegations will have to be taken very seriously. It is not possible to say more than this, at present, and investigations will hopefully provide a more accurate picture of what actually happened, and the conspiracy and linkages that underpinned the incident.
If Iran is to be blamed for this attack, why did it choose Indian soil? Anyways, why would Iran want to antagonise one of its last-standing major trading partners? And if it is not Iran, which did other agencies carry out such an attack?
This is the real imponderable here. There is no rational strategic or tactical calculus apparent in this attack, if it emanates from any state entity in Iran. On the other hand, Iran-linked non-state actors, most prominently the Hezbollah, could have acted within a more comprehensible calculus. Such operations could have been undertaken without specific state sanction by such non-state groups, under the wider and ongoing mandate that such agencies enjoy. It is significant that, just days before the attack at New Delhi, on February 3, 2012, Ayatollah Khamanei, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran and the country's highest authority, had described Israel's "Zionist regime" as a "cancerous tumour that should be cut and will be cut," and had declared, further, "we will support and help everyone who opposes the Zionist regime." Such broad exhortations may have been the provocation for the actions undertaken in Tbilisi, New Delhi and Bangkok.
Virtually every Islamist terrorist grouping operating on Indian soil, including all the Pakistan-backed groups, moreover, is anti-Israel and anti-Semitic in its ideological stance and pronouncements. Thus almost any one of these groups would also have the motives for such an attack, or may be tempted to cooperate with others who provoke such attacks. Of course, there is a wide gulf between these groups -- all of whom are fundamentalist Sunni in orientation -- and the Iranian regime or Hezbollah, who are fundamentalist Shia, and willing collaboration here is unlikely. A purely mercenary local actor could also have been recruited to execute the attack, creating another "circuit breaker" that will make it difficult to trace the link back to the primary conspirators.
"Israel Frames Iran for Its False Flag Embassy Bombing Saga"
Arash Zahedi, Tehran-based political analyst and broadcaster
Press TV (Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting subsidiary)
Maybe some would argue that Iran might be conducting an "Eye for an Eye" operation for it has said Israel and the West are behind the serial killing of its nuclear scientists.
First of all, it has been time and again, not only argued but proven by evidence, that Iran has itself been the victim of terrorism. It has lost its citizens to it, from President to ordinary people! But it has continued thriving in many fields despite these hostilities. Tehran has proved and itself knows best that terrorism will not stop anyone from doing what they wish to.
In addition, a country making some of the most sophisticated missiles in the Middle East, with advances in various fields and with a world class intelligence work that has proven beyond capable in the many tests they have had in the past 3 decades, the most notable example of which was during the 8 year imposed Iraqi war, can do immeasurably better in the absolutely unlikely event of a retaliatory operation of this kind! After all, if Iran had intended to take revenge for the killing of its scientists in Tehran, it would undoubtedly target somebody as important in Tel Aviv, not an Israeli ambassador's wife in New Delhi!
But what about the Thai incident? Who are these suspects obviously not involved in a sophisticated terrorist attack? Individuals with bombs so poorly made, constructed and kept who depart from the scene chaotically with a clear lack of operational security in entering and moving about since they entered Thailand. People who carry their Iranian passports, wether fake or real, to a terrorist operation! It all indicates a purely amateurish operation with little advance planning for contingencies.
It is not hard to find politically unhappy groups in any given country and make them do things in exchange of some cash or other incentives. What Israel is doing in the West Bank of blackmailing desperate people to change them into Palestine "traitors" makes it all the more likely that Tel Aviv could be the number one funder of such operations. And who else better than elements affiliated with the outlawed MKO (Mojahedin Khalq Organization) to conduct these acts, a group that has fought against Iran alongside Iraq's ex-dictator Saddam Hussein? They have proven they will do whatever it takes to tarnish Iran's international image time and again besides being involved in a number of bombings against the Iranian nation that have killed many.

Born Free is the heartwarming true story of a British couple who teach their pet lioness how to survive in the wilds of the African jungles. Joy and George Adamson (portrayed by real-life married couple Virginia McKenna and Bill Travers) involuntarily domesticate several lions while living in Kenya. They keep one, named Elsa, until she is fully grown, and rather than turn her over to a zoo, they decide to train her to live like a wild animal so that they can release her into her natural habitat. Geoffrey Keen is a sympathetic government official who convinces the Adamsons that they should set Elsa free to avoid being ordered to place her in captivity. The film, based on Joy Adamson's book, is poignant and emotional without ever becoming banal or overly sentimental. The title song and film score both won Academy Awards. ~ Don Kaye, Rovi
