DAVIE, Fla. (AP) In the Miami Dolphins' opening game, rookie Ryan Tannehill became their 17th starting quarterback since 2000, which put the team on pace to go through 141 QBs this century.
One month later, it appears the Dolphins may have finally found a quarterback keeper.
``Ryan just gets better and better,'' offensive coordinator Mike Sherman said. ``Very seldom does he make the same mistake twice. You tell him that you need to do something, and he does it. He has taken steps every single week.''
Tannehill's statistics weren't flashy in the most recent game, aside from one: He had a passer rating of 92.3, his best yet. The rookie threw for 223 yards with no turnovers and helped Miami (2-3) win at Cincinnati, 17-13.
After more than a decade of steady turnover at quarterback, the Dolphins would happily take that sort of play every week.
The performance bumped Tannehill's rating for the season to 70.4, which ranks a distant 30th in the NFL. He'll go into Sunday's game against the St. Louis Rams (3-2) with only two touchdown passes and six interceptions.
On the other hand, he's the first NFL rookie to pass for more than 1,250 yards and win at least twice in his team's first five games. He has thrown for more yards in his first five games than any Miami rookie, including Dan Marino.
And his bosses are delighted with his progress.
``Our quarterback position has seen the most dramatic improvement on the offensive side of the ball,'' Sherman said. ``Ryan's decision-making has definitely improved over the last couple of weeks. Each game we come out less and less critical of his decisions.''
Sherman also coached Tannehill at Texas A&M and judged the youngster a promising NFL prospect, which is one reason the Dolphins used their first-round pick on a quarterback for the first time since taking Marino in 1983.
Rams coach Jeff Fisher said it appears Miami made a wise choice.
``He's got tremendous poise, he throws with accuracy, he's not making mistakes, and he's doing a great job in that offense,'' Fisher said. ``He and coach Sherman obviously are on the same page, and I think there's a great future.''
The Dolphins are hardly an offensive juggernaut - they've scored two touchdowns in each of the past three games. But with a rookie quarterback and a new regime led by first-time head coach Joe Philbin, this season is all about improvement.
And Tannehill has showed plenty. He took his lumps in a Week 1 drubbing at Houston, when he became the first Miami rookie quarterback to start an opener and threw three interceptions.
Even then, Tannehill's teammates saw lots of potential.
``He has never really seemed a rookie,'' guard Richie Incognito said. ``He has never had that deer-in-the-headlights look.''
``When I was a rookie, my head was swimming,'' running back Reggie Bush said. ``So I can imagine what his head is going through as a rookie quarterback. But he has showed a lot of maturity at such a young age.''
Tannehill's 431-yard passing performance in Week 4 at Arizona was an eye-opener, and the balance between good plays and bad tilt more in his favor with each game.
``Obviously you don't want to make a mistake in the first place,'' he said Wednesday. ``But if you make a mistake, you have to learn from it. If you're consistently making the same mistakes over and over, you're not growing as a player. You're backpedaling. I have to hold myself to high standard and expect myself not to make the same mistake twice.''
One area of improvement has been Tannehill's reaction to a crumbling pocket. He has made several completions after stepping forward rather than bailing on the play, and he has also hurt defenses by rolling out and finding open receivers.
``He throws the ball very well on the move, whether it is a pre-designed movement pass or a step-up, shuffle-in-the-pocket-and-escape throw,'' Philbin said.
The Bengals faced a rookie or second-year quarterback in each of their last four games. Tannehill was the only one to beat them.
``I was impressed with him,'' Cincinnati defensive tackle Domata Peko said. ``He doesn't look like a rookie to me. He's got great arm strength, can make all of the throws and I was real impressed with his composure. They've finally found a quarterback there in Miami, it seems.''

Bon Secours Volunteer Ministry is structured around 5 pillars:
- Learning through Service with Others
- Practicing God's Justice
- Developing Community
- Growing Spiritually
- Living Simply
Volunteers' service, life and reflection is structured around these 5 program pillars. Every week, volunteers will have a chance to reflect on and engage with at least one of the program pillars through formation and reflection times. At Bon Secours Volunteer Ministry, we understand these pillars to be the foundation on which volunteers experience their year of service, and will hopefully inform their lives after completing the program as well.
"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment." -Ralph Waldo Emerson

Thought I let you in some of my current staple winter essentials and let's start off with something I wear every single day and if I don't have any, I go "omg, oh no" and end up with bleeding cracked lips… not a good look.
1) Lucas' Papaw Ointment
An oldie but a goodie. I'm sure everybody is familiar with this red tube. It's almost like a cult. I never heard or knew about it until few years ago, actually and I live in Brisbane (where this is made). It works amazingly in keeping your lips protected. I like to put a thick layer on at night and sleep on it – wake up to "hello smooth lips!" ready for kissy kissy… a'ight I'd leave that to you.
This is not a good base for lipstick, though, as this is quite a thick paste. It also has a tinge of herbal scent – that some people may not be a fond of.
Price has gone up over the years. It now costs ranging from $3+ to 4.99-$5.99 depending on where you get it from and whether it is on sale. Still affordable for the 25g tube you get. Available everywhere – Woolworths, Coles, Priceline, Kmart, Big W, Target, and your local chemists.
2) Maybelline Baby Lips
I have 2 – Mango Pie and Menthol. I love the Menthol one – it's minty and refreshing. It's one of those twisty chapstick tube, so you don't need to use your fingers to apply. Easy peasy and very convenient.
This leaves a balmy feel on the lips. Moisturising and not sticky. It is not glossy either. Not too bad of a base for lipstick but I don't normally wear lipsticks when I wear this just because I just don't wear lipsticks on daily basis.
Price varies from $3+ to somewhere in the $4ish depending on sale. Available at chemists, Priceline and anywhere that sells Maybelline.
3) Kit Cosmetics Lip Balm SPF15
Surprisingly this actually does soften and protects my lips. I feel like it has this extra buttery texture which coats my lips and moisturises it. It contains Kakadu plum, quandong and lemon. It has a buttery texture and a nice semi matte finish. Loving the fact that it contains spf15 means that I be wearing this during day time more often. I keep this in my bag. I also love how you only need a pin size to cover your lips. Totally enjoying applying this on my lips ever since I opened the tube.
$16.95 at Kit Cosmetics for 15ml tube.
4) Kiehl's Lip Balm #1 SPF4
This is like a softer version of the Kit Cosmetics lip balm and more towards petroleum jelly sort of texture but not as greasy as jelly. I
don't like dislike loathe the petroleum jelly feel on my lips but this is surprisingly good. It is smooth and gives my lips a protection without giving me the yucky gel feel of… petroleum. It's been around for 40 years – omg, wow!
Available at Kiehl's counter. I believe it's around $11ish now.
5) Dr Hauschka Lip Balm
If you want the ultimate, this is it. I love this and actually almost running out of mine, and saving it for rainy days. It smells freshly of roses but not sickening. Herbal roses, some may like it some may not. It is very hydrating and I love putting this on at night time. It works nicely in the morning under lipsticks too. It contains ingredients such as Castor Oil, Beeswax, Peanut Oil, Carrot Root Extract, Apricot Kernel Oil, Calendula, Sunflower Seed Oil, Cocoa Seed Butter, Wheat Bran Extract, Wheat Germ Oil, Jojoba Seed Oil… now we know why it is so good as a treatment and a must have in my essentials kit.
$19.95 at David Jones.
6) Malin+Goetz Lip Moisturizer
This is the only one out of all the above that will give you a gloss finish. This works as highly hydrating lip moisturiser or a lipgloss, really. You can use this on top of your lipstick too. The tube may look so small, but don't let that fool you (unless you're chewing through it), you only need a pin size amount. This is like a special occasion must have saviour. Due to its slight stickyness, the lips wearing this may not be well suited for kissing purposes.
$20.00 at Mecca Cosmetica
I personally would repurchase all of the lip balms mentioned above and always have them in my essentials kit using them on rotation depending on condition of my lips.
What are some of your favourite lip balms?

We are madly preparing the cottage in Nova Scotia for our arrival in July.
The painting and floor refinishing is all done and apparently 32 boxes of furniture have arrived. We are having someone assemble all of the beds, but we will still be logging in some quality time with an allen key when we arrive after our 18 hour drive.
I've never done an 18 hour drive before with kids and a dog and a new husband. People say it changes you.
We've decided to rent out the place to friends and family during August and in the fall. We'd been hoping to spend the entire summer there but life with kids is busy. As it is, some of us will be running back and forth.
I can't wait to see it all put together. I had to do something similar when I moved into the 1920s house I use to have. I had my things in storage and had to buy everything else from measurements, hoping it all would fit. I was not able to enjoy it until I was physically in the space. Then, putting it all together was restorative. I love fussing around with furnishings. That and exercise are the two things that keep me out of my head.
And this year, I will have partners in crime in NS in the form of the Mr. and a Stepford mom (who is so not a Stepford Mom!) who has a place nearby. We've also met new friends of friends and know others who will be visiting. So it shall be a social summer indeed, once we build the chairs.
If you are planning on visiting in July, give me a shout and we'll have you over for drinks. And if you are firming up your summer plans, consider our place near Lunenburg. The tall ships are there in August and we have spectacular views.
I hope your summer plans are coming together. As soon as I'm out there, I'll show some interior photos of the place. That is, if we all survive the drive!

Word was the Lady in Gray wanted to meet. She's my counterpart at our cross-town rival, the Obscura, or whatever it's called, and she thought it would be interesting if we reviewed a place together. She made reservations at the new Pearl Street Steak Room. I got there early and sat with my back to the wall so she didn't get the drop on me.
This is a fancy place with prices to match. It's the kind of joint where high rollers entertain clients with Unobtanium card expense accounts, not batting an eye at premium Wagyu steaks for two at $89 a pop.
True to its "room" moniker, this is a small, cozy space with alligator-pattern red banquettes, white wallpaper with circular patterns, and all-out retro ambience. I half expected Don Draper to come sauntering by when in walked this sharp-looking dame in gray, and I knew it was her. Liz was her name, and I figured I'd met my match when she ordered her smooth $8 martini extra dirty and didn't flinch when I suggested the $11 chicken-fried sweetbread starter. Any woman who doesn't shy away from possibly eating thymus glands is OK with me.
We parted company on these savory sweet morsels, though. I dug the breading and apple cream sauce dotted with crisp-tender pea shoots.
I thought these were smart adornments to tempt the uninitiated, while Liz felt these additions knocked it out of whack. Our detail-oriented server confirmed my suspicions; they were trying to take a more user-friendly approach with this preparation, so score one for Fong.
Next up was the $10 Caesar, a deconstructed job, which means the romaine, anchovy and croutons were stacked into neat little piles. The dressing packed a creamy punch, and the high point was a thick chunk of house-cured Berkshire pork, top-shelf bacon. Smart cookie Liz asked if she could get a plateful of pork for herself.
Our $7 sides were spiffed-up takes on steakhouse staples. You can't go wrong with the truffled fries, which deliver earthy flavor and sticky cheese. We also sampled creamed greens, enriched by what our server called a flourless béchamel. Not as creamy as dairy-heavy versions, these greens did have more complex texture and flavor than run-of-the-mill spinach.
We could have had chicken or fish, but the label here is steak room. Although a .38 snubnose is my usual choice, our server gave us our pick of knives — I grabbed a pearl-handled shiv. Liz went for the $41, 14-ounce, prime Holstein New York Strip. It was unquestionably tasty and tender, but the Aussie Wagyu, specifically the $48 eight-ounce filet, scored the bovine TKO. Both were grain-finished, thick and perfectly cooked to requested doneness. The Down Under slab was buttery in both flavor and texture thanks to this breed's unfettered marbling, and sweeter and more tender than the Holstein.
There's no question the kitchen cooks a mean steak, and sure, Wagyu's rare around here. But at these prices, I want utterly over-the-top presentation, or barring that, what some fancy pants might call a mythos. Brooklyn's Peter Luger's gets away with sky-high prices because Jimmy Cagney ate there, ditto L.A.'s Pacific Dining Car, a hangout for real-life noir figures like mobster Mickey Cohen.
As for the Lady in Gray, we possibly ate pancreas, and I'll be seeing her around.

Follow updates and the progress of Alan's new album, Wherever You Go, on his Facebook page.
Alan's second CD, Ladders of Daylight, is now on iTunes.
For 25 years, Alan Franks sang with former Settlers singer Patty Vetta, who had performed with many eminent artists, including Johnny Cash and The Everly Brothers.
Alan and Patty have recorded with a wide variety of musicians, including violinist Chris Leslie of Fairport Convention, concert mandolin player and multi-instrumentalist Graham Preskett, British country stars Wes McGee and Reg Meuross. The repertoire included many jazz/blues numbers such as I Wouldn't Do It To A Dog, Gospel-influenced chants (Government Hill), sardonic humour (The Day It Started Raining Millionaires on Wall Street) and Broadside Ballads (At The End of Our Times.)
They made many radio broadcasts and played at festivals and clubs throughout the country, including Cambridge, Reading, Warwick, Aldeburgh and the popular Weavers in Newington Green. They also did support spots for a number of artists including Ralph McTell on tour, Bert Jansch at the 12-Bar Club in Wardour Street and Jake Thackray at the Amadeus Centre in Maida Vale. They were regularly joined by West End actress Charlotte Moore, whose recent roles include Audience, in which she had a lead role and also understudied Helen Mirren and Kristin Scott Thomas as The Queen.
Several of the songs have been covered by other acts, most notably Fairport Convention, whose version of The Wishfulness Waltz became the title track on a compilation CD. Other musicians who have performed his songs or lyrics include Martin Simpson and Peter Donegan, son of the late skiffle pioneer Lonnie.
Alan new album, Wherever You Go, includes a variety of musicians in different genres. One of these is the young West End singing sensation Isabella Pappas, star of "Annie", who has recorded four of his most recent numbers.
Franks has also played at such clubs as Ronnie Scotts Upstairs, The Map in Kentish Town, Way Out West in Richmond, and he performs regularly at the Unity Club in Camden. He has collaborated with the jazz saxophonist Tim Whitehead, and several of their songs (Franks' words, Whitehead's music) have been performed at jazz festivals, recently Winchester and Berlin.
Alan started singing in school choirs and as a student took part in cabarets and stage reviews. His numbers included country-and-western versions of John Milton's verse epic Paradise Lost and the Early English poem Beowulf. In 1969, he wrote and performed songs for the Oxford Theatre Group's revue at the Edinburgh Festival. His fellow performers included Jane Asher's sister Claire and the American economist Robert Reich, labour minister in the first Clinton administration.
Here is his song, How Can I Be A Has Been, sung with Charlotte Moore, on the album Bird in Flames:
Four years ago, Alan joined the London Gallery Quire, one of about forty choirs in England performing the so-called West Gallery hymnody of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The name derives from the siting of the string-and-wind bands that accompanied the singing of the congregations before the widespread introduction or return of the organ during the Victorian era. The Quire also sings one of the songs on his new album.
This process of a church choir being replaced by the more "seemly" keyboard instrument is vividly described in the novel Under The Greenwood Tree by Thomas Hardy, who came from a family of West Gallery fiddlers. In fact his local villages of Stinsford and Rockhampton were the model for the story's Wessex community of Mellstock.
The London Gallery Quire, founded by Oxford music graduate Dr. Francis Roads in 1997, performs regularly in churches throughout central and Greater London, accompanied by varying combinations of violin, flute, clarinet, trumpet, bassoon and serpent. Some recent venues have been two churches closely associated with the young and not so young Hardy, the first St. Pancras Old Church, where he worked as a churchwarden, the second St. Andrews Enfield, where he married his second wife Florence in 1914.
Last year the LGQ was the featured choir in a Radio 4 Sunday Service broadcast from Wesley's Chapel in City Road. In December it will give a recital in the Friday evening series of events at the National Portrait Gallery.
The LGQ now has a repertoire of more than 500 items, most of them dating from between 1720 and 1850, some of them unperformed since that time until their rediscovery from sundry sources by Dr. Roads.
One of Franks' hymn lyrics, Nothing More Than Man, to the pre-existing tune of Rineton, has twice been included in the quire's programmes.
This is Alan singing one of his songs, No More Of This

spinal cord injury - C! and C2
A: Dear Karen, I don"t blame you for feeling frustrated, that"s normal. Being in bed for a long period of time can make you tired. And a C1/C2 injury can be serious, so I"m sure your doctors are taking every precaution necessary to allow your neck to heal properly. I don"t see why you wouldn"t recover back to normal based on what you"ve told me. But your doctor should be able to answer any of your questions. I will keep good thoughts for your quick recovery.

I need info. about early medical care for someone with a C1-C2 spinal cord injury 2 weeks ago.
A: It depends on the type of air mattress. There are some that do pulsing waves of air pressure and it"s not really noticeable. He should be turned every 2-3 hours to prevent pressure sores. If he is on a pulsating air mattress, turning is not as necessary as it would be if he were only on an egg-crate type of foam mattress. Unfortunately, the speed of response is lacking in most facilities. Often, this is due to limited staffing. If the lack of response has been life-threatening, you should contact the unit supervisor. If you get no action at that level, address the issue with the hospital administrator and the hospital"s patient advocate department. A speech pathologist or occupational therapist should be involved with setting up some form of...
spinal cord injury, no mobility ? how can I lose weight?
A: Dear Reader, Many people, whether they are unable to exercise or just don''t like it, have wondered whether weight loss without physical activity is possible. Basically what weight loss comes down to is this: weight stays stable when we take in the same amount of calories that we expend. If we eat more energy than we use, we store it for later, i.e., we put on pounds. Some people accomplish weight loss by limiting caloric intake, others by upping their energy expenditure though exercise, and many people use a combination of both strategies to lose weight. One pound of body fat is equal to about 3500 calories. In order to lose a pound per week, a person would have to create a daily deficit of about 500 calories. Weight-loss of a pound per week is generally considered safe and in about a...

spinal cord injury (car wreck)
A: Combination of degenerative spine disease and acute trauma is one of the trickiest things any health care provider can encounter, it" s actually one the most common causes of accident-related law suits in this country, since we cannot objectively prove that the accident worsened the pre-existing condition, but patients swear it did and you have to believe them! Only they know how much pain they"re in, and how worse it has become after the accident. Just a couple of points, there is no mention of a fracture in any of these reports. Spondylolisthesis means slippage of one vertebral body over the one below it, it seems to be secondary to advanced degenerative disease of the facet joints (posterior part of the spine) in your case; sometimes we have what is called...
What do people like me with MS and a spinal cord injury do with diabetes. Last time I tried to exercise I fell and broke my knee.
A: You may want to try some seated exercises. There are a number of books and videos out there that have full exercise routines that can be done in a chair. Also, you can work out your legs by strapping on some ankle weights or using resistance bands and lifting your lower leg straight out. For your arms, you can use some light weights (or something like canned foods, if that''s all you have access to) to work out your upper body. If you are in a wheel chair, try to find somewhere in your house or neighborhood that gives you an open stretch where you can push hard with your arms; then turn around and do it again another ten times, or as many times as you can. Thinking creatively along the same lines, you will probably be able to come up with a lot of other ways to exercise that would be safe...
How can stem cell therapies help restore nerves damage resulting from spinal cord injuries?
A: Whenever a spine is injured it loses some nerve cells. If people are given stem cell injection like there is a chance that people will recover from their injuries which is very similar to the rats in the link below.After a period of time stem cells will disappear and there will be a new growth of nerve cells. http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1200/is_1_157/ai_59021043/...
spinal cord injury. is there hope
A: Hi Genie! I''m so sorry to hear about the complications you are having after your surgery. I don''t understand why your Dr. wouldn''t be able to prescribe you any opiate medications for pain control though. I also at one time had complications after a morphine pump trial in which I now have permanant nerve damage from. But my Dr., who is a pain management specialist, had no problems at all with giving me anything that would put my misery at bay. Is the Dr. you are seeing an Orthopedist? I know this is probably going to ruffle some feathers for all of the Orthopediststs out there, but I have yet to meet one who was willing to prescribe me anything stronger than an anti-inflammatory medication!! They all said ''Buck Up and take it''. If this is the case, I would definately recommend seeing a...

A comprehensive camping safari into South Africa, Lesotho and Swaziland, starting in Johannesburg and ending in Cape Town, South Africa.
First, we travel to the vast Greater Kruger National Park for game viewing in South Africa's premier wildlife reserve and explore the scenic Panorama Route. From there it's off to Swaziland to hike in Mlilwane Nature Reserve, before crossing back into South Africa to visit the diverse iSimangaliso Wetland Park and the prestigious Hluhluwe-Umfolozi National Park.
Stopping over in Durban we travel into the Drakensberg Mountains where we enjoy the breathtaking scenery of the Royal Natal National Park, before visiting mountainous Lesotho. Then we drive into the semi-arid Small Karoo of South Africa and on to Addo Elephant National Park for more game viewing. Next we travel along the well-known Garden Route of South Africa taking in beach and nature highlights, and stopping in Oudtshoorn to see Cango Caves.
Lastly, we make our way into the Cape Winelands Region, where we enjoy wine tasting and walk in the charming town of Stellenbosh, before embarking on a cultural experience in Cape Town where our safari ends.
Welcome to South Africa! Leaving the bustling city of Johannesburg we travel east into the Mpumalanga Province, making our way to Kruger National Park. We head into the Lowveld region, which hosts numerous top game parks and is known as the safari capital of South Africa.
In the late afternoon you have the chance to embark on an optional sunset game drive which needs to be booked in advance (your guide can assist you on departure this morning).
Our first campsite is at a lodge located in a private wildlife concession inside Kruger National Park. This evening your guide tells you more about the safari adventure ahead as we relax around the campfire.
This safari comes with an optional Activity Package at an additional cost. The itinerary includes these highly-recommended activities. Contact African Budget Safaris for a detailed breakdown of what is included in the Activity Package and see the Full Pricing Information above for the cost of the Activity Package.
On day two we get up early and make our way into the world-famous Kruger Park for an unforgettable day of game viewing. Entering the vast Kruger Park the game viewing adventure begins right away. Kruger National Park is home to Africa's Big Five, as well as a multitude of other African animals, both small and large. This is South Africa's premier national park, famous for its superb game viewing and progressive conservation practises.
Our truck offers an elevated vantage for seeing over other vehicles and the bush, providing excellent opportunities for spotting and photographing as many of the wild animals in Kruger Park as possible. If you have opted for the Activity Package then you take a 4x4 game drive in an open safari vehicle instead, immersing yourself in the wilderness that is Kruger National Park.
In the late afternoon you can set off on a sunset game drive as an optional extra.
On day three you have the option of venturing into the bush on foot for a guided game walk (optional extra) or you can sleep in a little.
Then, we visit the Panorama Route, driving into one of the most scenic parts of South Africa. Travelling along the Panorama Route we stop to admire the spectacular views from God's Window, looking out over the Lowveld to the distant mountains along the Mozambique border. We also stop to view Bourke's Luck Potholes - peculiar rock features created by water erosion over decades. Our drive takes us along Blyde River Canyon, one of the largest vegetated canyons in the world.
From the scenic splendours of the Panorama Route we return to our safari camp in Kruger.
This morning we head back into the legendary Kruger National Park looking out for game as we head south through the bush. Leaving Kruger we cross into the small, landlocked country of Swaziland, encompassing a diversity of terrains, from lowveld to towering mountains.
We head to the Nyonyane Mountains in the northwest region of Swaziland, where Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary is located. This beautiful reserve lies in the "Valley of Heaven" or Ezulwini Valley and is known for its idyllic setting. Covering 4 560 hectares of open grassland plains and towering mountains, this is the oldest protected area in Swaziland.
In Mlilwane we take our time to tune into nature, soaking up the fresh mountain air and scenery.
This morning we take a nature walk in the reserve or you can enjoy optional activities in the Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary - from mountain biking to a village visit - and simply relax in this scenic haven. Bush walks are a popular activity here as large predators are absent from this scenic wilderness area. The variety of self-guided hikes offer visitors a chance to get up close to the local flora and fauna - a fascinating way to explore nature.
Then we are off to the East Coast of Africa, bidding farewell to Swaziland. We drive back into South Africa heading to iSimangaliso Wetland Park, near the Mozambique border. Isimangaliso was the first UNESCO World Heritage Site in South Africa, when it was known as the Greater St Lucia Wetland Park. The area is a heritage site given the high biodiversity it protects, including threatened and endemic species, across its range of habitats.
This evening we are treated to a cultural experience, gaining insight into the local Zulu people, their traditions and language.
Today we head to nearby Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Game Reserve for a morning game drive in this wildlife-rich wilderness area. Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Game Reserve is famous for its rhino conservation successes, hosting one of the world's largest white rhino populations. Hluhluwe and Imfolozi together make up one of KwaZulu-Natal's best game parks - the oldest game reserve in Africa.
We take a game drive in open 4x4 vehicles exploring the only state-run park in the province of KwaZulu-Natal where all of the Big Five occur. After our morning of bird watching and game viewing in Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Game Reserve, we drive back to Isimangaliso.
Later this afternoon we embark on a relaxing sunset boat cruise on the lagoon for some bird and hippo viewing in the scenic iSimangaliso Wetland Park.
On day seven we travel further south to the city of Durban, on the east coast of South Africa. Durban is a popular seaside holiday destination, known for its sandy beaches and excellent surfing spots. One of the busiest ports and biggest cities on the East African coast, Durban is a vibrant and culturally diverse place.
In the afternoon you can go to one of the pretty golden mile beaches, or visit to the world-class Ushaka Marine World. This evening you are free to head out for dinner in Durban, with Indian food being a specialty given the large population of Indian descendants living here. After dinner you have the option of enjoying some of the nightlife of the city.
We leave behind the beautiful beaches of the KwaZulu Natal coastline, travelling inland to the Ukhahlamba Drakensberg, formerly Royal Natal National Park, located in the unbelievably scenic Drakensberg Escarpment. En route we stop to visit the historic attraction of the Mandela Capture Site where a statue of world-famous Nelson Mandela, or Madiba, marks the place of his arrest in 1962. After visiting the site where Mandela's 27-year long imprisonment first began, we drive to Howick Falls to marvel at the beauty of nature.
We spend day nine exploring mountain paths and enjoying the beauty of the towering Drakensberg Mountains. The Drakensberg Mountains are South Africa's highest peaks, also widely considered the most beautiful. In the morning your guide takes you on a hike in Ukhahlamba-Drakensberg Park where we have the chance to meet with local guides and view San rock paintings. Alternatively you can enjoy optional outdoor activities, such as horse riding, or simply unwind in the scenic Drakensberg Mountains.
Next, we take an inspiring drive into Lesotho, travelling via spectacular mountain passes, a vulture centre and the impressive landscapes of the Golden Gate National Park in South Africa. This afternoon we arrive at our campsite in the hills of Lesotho, famous for its mountain scenery and pony trekking.
Known as the 'Kingdom in the Sky', Lesotho is one of the highest countries in the world, with the entire country lying over 1000m above sea level.
Day 11 begins with a hike in the mountains of Lesotho, soaking up the beautiful scenery and fresh mountain air. We hike to a village where we get to meet the local Basotho people and find out more about their way of life. The Basotho are known for their traditional straw hats, colourful textiles and hardy ponies. This afternoon you have the chance to go pony trekking, high up in the hills (optional). On the pony trek, Lesotho villagers will guide you along secluded mountain trails with breathtaking views.
Leaving hilly Lesotho behind, we cross back into South Africa and travel to Graaff Reinet in the semi-arid Karoo.
This hot inland region, called the Karoo, is an open and flat terrain with sheep farms and a scattering of remote towns. Driving through the vast, dry plains of the Karoo we cross the Gariep (formerly Orange) River on our way to Graaff-Reinet.
In the late afternoon, we head to the Valley of Desolation, 14km from Graaff Reinet, for sundowners. We soak up the spectacular views of the Camdeboo plains at sunset and take a closer look at the unique flora and fauna of the area. In the winter months, we visit the Valley of Desolation early the next morning and spend this evening exploring the historic town of Graaff Reinet instead.
On the morning of day 13, you can join a local guide for a historical tour of Graaff-Reinet, the fourth oldest town in South Africa (time allowing). Or spend some time sightseeing in the town, which hosts one of the highest concentrations of monuments in the country. During winter we set off early on our sunrise excursion to the Valley of Desolation.
Leaving Graaff Reinet behind we head to Addo Elephant National Park in the rugged Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. This unique, malaria-free game park is home to one of the world's densest concentrations of African elephants. Addo Elephant Park also boasts the 'Big Seven' (elephant, rhino, lion, buffalo, leopard, southern right whale and great white shark), as the game park includes both terrestrial and aquatic habitats.
We camp at a lodge with a bar, laundry services, hot showers and internet.
This morning we explore Addo Elephant National Park, one of the biggest game parks in the country.
We head into the bush where we are surrounded by elephants and other creatures, from the flightless dung beetle to the regal lion. Game driving in our elevated safari truck in Addo provides the perfect opportunity to take some great photos of Africa's big game and other wildlife and birds.
In the late afternoon, you can embark on an optional sunset game drive in Addo, exploring the park in open 4x4 safari vehicles.
Day 15 starts with one last game drive in game-rich Addo Elephant Park. From Addo National Park we make our way to the Garden Route, a lush and scenic nature lover's paradise along the southern coast of South Africa. Along the way, we stop in Jeffreys Bay, one of the top surfing spots in the world.
Continuing west along the Garden Route we head to Tsitsikamma National Park, where majestic mountains and dramatic coast converge. We spend day 16 exploring the striking coastal region of Tsitsikamma National Park. One of South Africa's natural treasures, the Tsitsikamma National Park incorporates rich marine ecosystems, lush indigenous forests and Fynbos-covered hills. The park stretches about 80km's along the coastline and includes the belt of sea along its shores for about 5km's out into the ocean, making it one of the largest marine protected areas worldwide.
On the morning of day 16, we hike the first stretch of the Otter Trail, one of the most famous trails in the country. The morning hike is challenging but incredibly scenic, taking us along the rugged coastline to a pretty waterfall and back.
If you prefer to take it easy you can walk along the boardwalks in the indigenous coastal forest and across the suspension bridge at Storm's River Mouth. In the afternoon you can do an optional treetop canopy tour, viewing the forest from a zip-line suspended in the branches.
A short drive further westwards along the Garden Route brings us to Nature's Valley, where you can unwind on the beach or go hiking along the coast.
Then we move on to the next Garden Route gem - the popular beach resort town of Plettenberg Bay, known for its stunning Blue Flag beaches. There are plenty of optional activities to enjoy in and around Plett, as locals call it. Your guide helps with planning and booking activities to ensure that you get the most out of today. The safari truck will travel between selected points of interest on a set schedule providing you with the freedom to join or leave activities as you choose.
This afternoon we meet up on a pretty beach of the Keurbooms Lagoon and this evening we celebrate our adventures with an optional meal out in Plettenberg Bay. Tonight we stay in twin share rooms with en-suite bathrooms (hot showers) at a lodge with a swimming pool, near Plettenberg Bay.
In the morning you have time for one more optional activity in the Plettenberg Bay area, before our scenic journey continues.
Go sea kayaking, laze on the beach in Plettenberg Bay, explore the town or set off on an ocean safari in season. Whale watching safaris are a highlight in Plett, which is a whale watching hotspot in the season (July to October).
Next, our Budget Garden Route Tour travels inland, taking us over breathtaking mountain passes of the Outeniqua Mountains; which separate the coast from the semi-arid Klein (Small) Karoo region. Leaving the green belt along the ocean we make our way to Oudtshoorn, a historic Karoo town famed for the Cango Caves and the ostrich farms.
Arriving in the Oudtshoorn area we make our way to the Cango Caves. This underground cave network is made up of a grand complex of interconnected caverns and passageways. We take a tour of the caves to see the magnificent stalagmites and stalactites in the large limestone caves.
Our overnight stay in Oudtshoorn is at a resort with a pool, internet and drinkable water.
Today begins with a short tour of an Ostrich farm. Oudtshoorn's ostrich industry is huge - this is the ultimate place to see plenty of these big flightless birds up close and buy all kinds of ostrich-related souvenirs from ostrich feathers to eggs and biltong.
Then we drive along the well-known Route 62, passing through the barren Klein Karoo on our way to Somerset West in the Cape Wine Region. Along the way we stop to sample the homemade confectioneries and baked goods, and browse or buy local arts and crafts, at one of the many quaint and unique farm stalls along the Route 62. One of our colourful stops is at a quirky bar, with an eye-catching name - Ronnie's Sex Shop - which is actually just a country pub.
We overnight in en-suite rooms at a Cape Winelands hotel, with a swimming pool, bar, internet and laundry. In the evening you are free to relax at the hotel or eat out with your fellow travel companions.
On our last morning together we travel to Stellenbosch, in the heart of the Western Cape's Wine Region. This is the second oldest European-established town in South Africa, home to one of the country's leading universities. Arriving in the historic town we explore the leafy streets on foot to see the monuments, museums, art galleries and cafes that give the town its charm.
After walking around Stellies, as locals call it, we go to a wine estate in the area to sample the wines the region is famous for producing. Wine and cheese tasting (included in Activity Package) complete, we drive towards Table Mountain and the beautiful city of Cape Town.
Those doing the Cape Town Cultural Tour (included in the Activity Package) will set off from the city in smaller tour vehicles with a private tour company. First we visit District Six, the historic part of the city from which over 60 000 people were relocated to informal settlements during Apartheid. Then we travel into the townships of Langa and Khayelitsha, to encounter the locals, meet a traditional healer and visit a shebeen (informal bar). Visiting the informal settlements is a real eye-opener for many - offering a glimpse into the dynamic cultures and hardships of township life.
The order of today's activities may be switched around on Public Holidays and Sundays, but our Overland Camping Safari still comes to an end back in Cape Town this afternoon. Activity Package: Cheese & Wine Tasting / Cape Town Cultural Tour
This southbound South African Camping Safari is also available in the reverse order as a South African Safari - Northbound, starting in Cape Town and ending in Johannesburg.

More than 12 hours after the end of last night's season ending loss, five of the top ten trending topics on twitter were cowboys related and social media is slamming the team for another 8-8 season.
Tony Romo didn't even play in last night's game, but he's all over twitter today with comparisons between him and backup quarterback Kyle Orton. The tweets poke fun at Romo and Orton's game-ending interceptions.
Another pic titled, "How To Spot a Counterfeit Playoff Ticket," is circulating online – with the tag line, "It has the word Cowboys on it."
Finally, another of the trending photos shows Rowdy, the Cowboys mascot, sitting alone in chair with his head hanging down.
One Twitter user posted a picture of three lumps of coal and a letter addressed to Jerry Jones. He posted that he would send the coal and boycott buying tickets until the Cowboys win two postseason games.
On the CBSDFW Facebook page, we asked you what changes do you think the cowboys should make for next year?
Pat A. Sisk wrote, "Need to rebuild the team from top to bottom."
Morgan Singleton said, "The Cowboys have the worst defense in the league so I think it should start there."
Walker wrote "Complete overhaul…. Fire em all!!!"
And John Briggs made it really simple, "I don't know. Maybe win more games?"
There's plenty of jokes and frustration to go around for Cowboys fans – and nothing that can be done about it until next year.
A California mom caught a scary moment in the surf, even though her kids in the shot don't seem to notice.
The picture was snapped close to the shore on Manhattan Beach in California, as the mom watched her 12-year-old twins playing in the water.
You can see the outline of a large fish swimming just a few feet away from the kids.
Some are calling it a shark photobomb. The mom says she thinks it's a large dolphin, and at least one expert agrees with her.
Soon after she posted the pic on Facebook, it went viral.
Finally, the number one meme of the year has just been awarded.
From the Harlem shake to Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball," the internet has given us plenty of memorable memes for 2013 — and a dog tops them all.
Thousands of variations of this cute dog — which is spelled DOGE by the way — started flooding the internet around August of this year.
The picture usually includes several funny short phrases in broken English or misspellings — like on this fake cover of Time magazine.
The site "Know Your Meme" named it as the best of the year!

Election 2012: Marijuana Now Legal in Colorado, Washington
But "don't break out the Cheetos"--the feds could intervene
DENVER & SEATTLE -- Last Tuesday, Colorado and Washington became the first states to outright legalize the recreational use and sale of marijuana: Both Colorado's Amendment 64 and Washington's Initiative 502 passed with a respective 54% and 55% of voters in both states casting yes ballots on the pro-pot measures. A similar measure in Oregon failed by 54%.
Officially, both states will now allow adults age 21 and up to purchase up to an ounce of marijuana without requiring a medical prescription; however, as Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper warned citizens during Tuesday night's victory, this vote was just the first step in a long road to true legalization. Or as Hickenlooper said in a press statement, "don't break out the Cheetos or the Goldfish too quickly."
Perhaps Hickenlooper was referring to the fact that before people can actually go buy marijuana for recreational uses, Colorado and Washington state officials must tackle the daunting process of writing the rules, tax codes and other regulations necessary to determine which retailers may be licensed to sell marijuana. Before these rules are written, it's impossible to know whether existing retailers such as c-stores would be eligible to sell marijuana or if only state-run operations will be permitted.
It's also possible Hickenlooper was referring to the elephant in the room: the fact that marijuana is still a Schedule I prohibited substance on the federal level. While the federal government has notably targeted California, Montana and other states that have legalized marijuana for medical use, it is unclear how it will respond to Colorado and Washington's latest laws.
Hickenlooper opposed the ballot measure and has downplayed the likelihood of a commercial marijuana market materializing in Colorado. "If it's still illegal under federal law, I can't imagine that 7-Eleven is ever going to sell it," he told the Associated Press.
The U.S. Department of Justice is still reviewing the new laws: The New York Times reported that a Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) spokesperson declined to comment on how the agency will handle Colorado and Washington, but noted that the agency's enforcement of federal drug laws "remains unchanged."

Still, those familiar with how law enforcement operates in Colorado and Washington are cautiously optimistic that the feds will let them be.
"I don't see DEA agents sweeping into Colorado and Washington and enforcing drug laws that were previously enforced by local agencies," Norm Stamper, a former Seattle police chief and Initiative 502 supporter, told the newspaper. "It would be extremely poor politics. The will of the people has been expressed."
It's also worth noting that the federal government has generally stayed out of Colorado since the state legalized medical marijuana 12 years ago.
Ethan Nadelmann, executive director of the Drug Policy Alliance and Amendment 64 advocate said that he believes it will be a smooth transition for the already pot-friendly state: "Coloradans are accustomed to having this stuff above ground, supervised by state authorities and having it regulated," he told the Times.
Regardless of how the federal government responds, Tuesday's results represent a historic day--one that could be a turning point not only in marijuana legalization, but in how tobacco retailers operate.

American Agri-Women (AAW) has received a grant from USDA to produce a television program for farm and ranch women, which is planned to air nationwide in 2009.
Six months of programming is about completed, which will include 30-minute weekly programs to be shown four times each week. The programs are planned to air on satellite and cable networks, which reach an audience of over 30 million nationwide.
Each weekly program will include information for women producers on a relevant topic to assist them in managing risk, such as estate planning or farm tax planning. Program topics will also include items such as educating consumers. In addition, each program will include a segment on the farm with an AAW member, addressing the theme for that week.
The grant is provided through the Risk Management Agency's Community Outreach and Partnership Program. The programs will be produced by the Extension Communications Center at Kansas State University. AAW First Vice-President Chris Wilson, Kansas Agri-Women, is the project director.
"We're excited about this opportunity to help farm and ranch women nationwide by providing them with information that will help them with their operation," Chris stated. "In addition, we will be providing many risk management resources at our website in conjunction with the TV series. There will also be opportunities for networking with farm women through the program."
If you are have suggestions for program content, email Chris at [email protected].
For more information please contact AAW president Marcie Williams at [email protected]ricanagriwomen.org, or visit the American Agri-Women web site at http://www.americanagriwomen.org.

A Palatine man faces sexual abuse charges after police say he molested his girlfriend's 8-year-old daughter four times since 2007.
Jose Rincon, 31, of 1640 N. Rainbow Bay, Palatine, was charged Friday with four counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse.
The most recent incident occurred Nov. 26 during a family gathering at an apartment in the 1400 block of North Ports O'Call Drive, police said.
Police said Rincon told relatives that he had to check on the children. The 8-year-old girl later told her mother Rincon had touched her inappropriately that day, once on Nov. 21 and twice in 2007 when he lived in the 2100 block of Ginger Circle.

Oil and gas developments across Canada are emitting unwanted greenhouse gases into our atmosphere. Our team can detect the presence and origin of these emissions.
As our trucks covered well over 100,000 km, we were collecting on the order of millions of geolocated gas concentration measurements.
Our analyzers measured the concentrations of several gases every second. We designed special algorithms to crunch the data.
Regional monitoring surveys like this allow us to pin-point sources contributing to poor air quality, and greenhouse emission hotspots.
Equipped-vehicle based surveys cover a large region at a very fine scale. We repeat all our surveys at least 3 times for certainty.
The gases we are detecting are typically a mixture of methane, which is bad for the greenhouse effect and in smaller amounts carbon dioxide. There can also be toxic gases such as hydrogen sulfide.
How frequently do vents and leaks occur? How do vents and leaks differ between conventional and unconventional developments? Does the frequency of vents and fugitive emissions depend on well class? Well age? Operator size? Are super-emitters common in Canadian developments? Which one(s)?
We have driven extensive routes through developments in British Columbia (Montney), Alberta (Medicine Hat, Peace, Lloydminster), Saskatchewan (Bakken, Weyburn-Midale), and New Brunswick (Stoney Creek). The links provide maps that show driving routes that we repeated 3-6 times, normally in one season but sometimes in summer/winter to build some seasonal contrast. In each development we will have repeatedly (2-6 times) sampled air downwind and within 500 m of 1000-3000 wells and facilities. Field work is mostly complete, but we do have campaigns ongoing in Alberta to target several additional developments, plus additional work in New Brunswick near legacy infrastructure. We typically measure geolocated concentrations of several gases (methane, ethane, hydrogen sulphide, carbon dioxide, carbon isotopic composition of methane) 1-2 times per second.
Our datasets are robust because of; the high sample numbers; the the high degree of replication; the use of control routes as 'blanks'; and the defined minimum detection limits (MDL). Comparator studies usually lack all four. Furthermore, to enhance certainty, we tag infrastructure as 'emitting' only if we have detected anomalies more than half of the passes. We will conduct our analysis and release results in two phases. Phase I analysis will be used to define; emissions frequency (e.g. wells emitting / wells existing); severity; emissions frequency as a function of infrastructural class, development type, or operator size. Our Phase II analysis products will include more refined volumetric inventory estimates, product loss rates (as % of production), and/or methane emissions intensity of oil production. In both phases our focus is on large-scale industry trends, and for example we will not be releasing operator-specific statistics because our sampling routes were determined largely by road access, and we did not design the routes for representative sampling across operators.
In the short-term (summer-fall 2017) there will be 4 important outcomes from this work:
In the longer-term these datasets offer significant opportunities for re-analysis. In the future we hope to investigate the episodic nature of emissions, summer-winter emission contrasts, and to highlight low-emitting developments, etc. These are all in the pipeline for late 2017/2018. In addition to the above, we've also made measurements at oil sands operations (several), Carbon Capture and Storage sites, and have also measured emissions from legacy wells and coal adits/shafts in eastern Canada.
