At the South Leeds Youth Hub the IT suite, which consists of 11 desktop PCs, a suite of laptops, wireless connectivity and a 65" touch screen, is used mornings, afternoons and evenings 6 days a week by young people and by the wider local community. In the daytime The Hub's IT facilities are heavily used by local schools for the delivery of IT classes. Local libraries, Leeds City College, the local Connexions service and the Leeds Youth Service also use the Hub's IT facilities to provide IT training and support to their customers/clients. In the evening the IT suite is dedicated to the young users of the Centre. For those that have questions to which they seek confidential answers and who prefer "remote" advice, an educational programme called Brainpop provides information and advice on personal, social and other issues relevant to young people. The suite is also used to provide IT training to young people who are encouraged to use the facilities to update regularly the Centre's social networking site on Facebook.

If you have lived in India, you have definitely heard the word Kanchipuram being thrown around in conversations. The female gender has a great propensity to use that word because of the famous Kanchipuram sarees that come from the town. That however is another tale and we shall get into it in another blog post. While we were planning our road trip through Tamil Nadu, we found that Kanchipuram would make a great stop. Our main agenda was to see how the saree weaving is done first hand. The half an hour pit stop however became a 3 hour stop as we wandered through the Kanchipuram temples. Yes! There are many and we covered just a few. Without much ado let me take you through the ones that we visited.
Our guide Puranjyoti stopped for a pose.
Our first stop was the Kanchi Kailasanathar temple in Kanchipuram. Initially that was the only temple that we were going to visit. Then we happened to meet a cheerful man named Paranjyoti. He offered to be our guide for INR 100. Since we already had a car, it was a mere mater of driving from temple to temple while he offered insights into the history and the architecture of the Kanchipuram temples.
The oldest of the Kanchipuram temples that we visited.
The Kanchi Kailasanathar temple is oldest of the Kanchipuram temples. It is a Hindu temple that is dedicated to Lord Shiva. The walls of the temple are covered with ornate carvings. We were surprised at how well these carvings appeared to have been preserved. The Pandit of the temple however informed us that the preservation of the temple was difficult because it had been plastered over during the British era. This had covered numerous paintings that were part of the temple's charm.
RELATED POSTS: Exploring The History Behind The Kanchi Kailasanathar Temple
If you look at the pillars closely, you will notice why they inspire the Kanchipuram weavers.
The Ekambareswarar Temple is probably the largest temple complex among the Kanchipuram temples. It covers over 25 acres of land and is said to be one of the largest in India. The Ekambareswarar temple has smaller areas where people worship in different corners of its structure. Tall pillars are laced with intricate designs which are said to be the inspiration for the Kanchipuram sarees. The Ekambareswarar Temple dates back to the 9th century and was built during the Chola dynasty. This temple too was dedicated to the Hindu God Shiva.
A brief view of the temple.
We did not get a chance to enter this temple but our guide Paranjyoti told us that the Karchapeswarar temple is famous because it has a thousand identical pillars inside it. From the outside, this Kanchipuram temple certainly looked magnificent. We couldn't really determine why we were not allowed to go in but from what we understood it was because there were ongoing renovations.
The Sri Varadharaja Perumal temple is another one of the old Kanchipuram temples that can be found in the city. This temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu and I guess that is how the suburb gets the name Vishnu Kanchi. The temple was built by the Cholas in 1053 and is believed to be one of the temples that Vishnu visited. That makes it very popular among his devotees.
A lot of the devotees flocked to worship at the temple.
We did a quick walk around the Kanchi Kamakshi Ambal Devasthanam. This Kanchipuram temple is dedicated to Kamakshi who is said to be a form of the Hindu Goddess Parvati. The temple was beautiful and it had a lot of work that was done in gold which glittered in the sunlight.
There are numerous temples that are present in Kanchipuram. In fact, Kanchipuram is one of the temple cities in India and people frequently go there as a form of pilgrimage. It is amazing how much you can learn as you travel. Despite being Indians, our knowledge about this famous town was limited to the handloom sarees that are produced there. It definitely felt good to get out and explore. Have you been to Kanchipuram? Which temples did you visit? Let us know in the comments below.

The use, handling and transport of dangerous goods is governed by a number of national and international laws, regulations and recommendations. Central to these is the duty to protect you, your employees and members of the public from any potential injury or damage from dangerous goods.
Put simply, dangerous goods are hazardous materials — solids, liquids or gases — that can harm people, other living organisms, property or the environment. The United Nations Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods and other international organisations have divided dangerous goods into nine classes which are recognised worldwide.
In Australia, the manufacture, storage, transport, transfer, sale and use of hazardous materials is governed by the Dangerous Goods Act 1985. The recently updated Dangerous Goods Code fully complies with UN regulations of the transport of hazardous materials, providing detailed guidance for anyone who works with, stores or transports dangerous goods.
Before we examine the Code in more detail, let's take a closer look at the nine classes of dangerous goods:
Class 1: Explosives – Any substance that is capable of causing hazardous amounts of heat, light, sound, gas, or smoke. Separated into six different divisions, this class covers a wide range of substances and materials, ranging from fireworks and air bag inflators to rockets and TNT.
Class 2: Gases – Gases are hazardous not only because of their flammability, but also because of the risk of asphyxiation they pose. Liquefied gases, compressed gases, dissolved gases and refrigerated liquefied gases are all included in this class. Common examples include aerosols, lighters, propane and natural gas.
Class 3: Flammable Liquids – These are volatile liquids that give off a flammable vapour at temperatures below 60-65°C. While they are commonly used in every day life in the form of petrol, diesel and kerosene, large quantities can be extremely hazardous because of their volatility and combustibility.
Class 4: Flammable Solids – Flammable solids are classified as substances that may spontaneously combust, or emit flammable gases when they come into contact with water. These can include oily fabrics, alkali metals, phosphorous, firelighters and more.
Class 5: Oxidizing Substances – While not combustible in themselves, oxidizing substances are classified as dangerous goods as they can contribute to the combustion of other materials.
Class 6: Toxic & Infectious Substances – Toxic substances can cause severe injury or death if swallowed, inhaled or come into contact with the skin. Infectious substances, meanwhile, are defined as materials that may contain pathogens such as bacteria, parasites, viruses or other microorganisms that can cause sickness or death.
Class 7: Radioactive Material – This is defined as any material containing atoms that are subject to radioactive decay. Known as radionuclides, these materials emit ionizing radiation, which can pose severe risks to human health.
Class 8: Corrosives – These are any materials that damage or destroy other materials on contact through a chemical reaction. Undiluted corrosives, such as hydrochloric acid, can cause severe damage or injury on contact.
Class 9: Miscellaneous Dangerous Goods – This class covers dangerous goods not included in the other classes. Genetically modified organisms, substances stored and transported at elevated temperatures and environmentally hazardous materials all fall within this category.
If you or your employees handle any of these materials, you have a legal obligation to minimise any risk of damage or injury. The Dangerous Goods Code gives detailed advice on how to safely store and transport dangerous goods and how to ensure the health and safety of your employees, as well as detailing your obligations with regard to safety signs, data sheets, etc.
Central to the Code's recommendations is the isolation of hazardous materials in safe storage conditions, ensuring human contact with any dangerous goods is kept to a minimum. Dangerous goods storage cabinets can significantly reduce the risk of damage and injury. Specially designed to withstand fire and/or corrosion, fully featured safety storage cabinets also come with secure locking systems to prevent unwanted access.
If you need to transport dangerous goods as part of your business, transport segregation units can provide full peace of mind and ensure that you comply with all regulations. All dangerous goods storage and transportation products should be fully compliant with Australian safety standards.
At S.E.P.M.A.R, we have more than 20 years' experience helping businesses and professionals in Perth store and transport dangerous goods. Contact us today to find out more about our extensive range of storage cabinets, safety cabinets and fire cabinets.

This is a quick little video of Amanda, Roger and myself after having an adventure of hot air ballooning and safari in the Northern Serengeti.
This is a quick little video of Amanda, Roger and myself after having an adventure of hot air ballooning and safari in the Northern Serengeti.
We had another trip with a lifetime of memories in Tanzania in 2017. This is a short video of some of the highlights from our 12 day safari.
The learn more you can go to the Shutter Tours website to book this luxury African adventure.
Being on Safari can be full of surprises, but on this day we had probably the best surprise of all. We were on our first day of our 12-day trip and everyone was excited about what we might see. Arusha National Park is one of those gems of a park that not many people go to because you won't see lions or any cats. But I like it because its a great introduction to our trip to see our first Giraffe's, Baboons, Colobus and Blue Monkeys.
We arrived at the park gate around 10:30 AM and waited as Francis sorted all the paperwork and then we were off to our official start of our safari. Almost immediately we saw a field of Zebras and Wart Hogs and it was fun to feel the excitement for those in the vehicle who have never been to Africa before. As we continued to drive we saw Blue Monkeys and baboons.
With more than 120 distinct ethnic groups living together in Tanzania, this creates an excellent opportunity for those of us that enjoy travel photography. For me, I always gravitate towards getting photos of people, whenever I travel. I love the animals and the fantastic wildlife we get to see while on safari, but I also make sure that our safaris have cultural visits and opportunities to interact with the Tanzanians.
Many of these photos were taken during those interactions as we traveled, whether we were in the Rift Valley or the Central Serengeti or just in the back of our vehicle as our guide Francis searched for animals. Each photo tells a story, and I'll share a little bit of information on each one so that you can appreciate them in a different light. You'll also note that many of these have post processing and I'll share at the end of the article, which software I used as I edited these. Though this editing style is not for everyone, it works for what I am trying to convey in my images.
Francis was an excellent guide and was always able to find animals where I thought there might not be any. Before he was a guide, he was a researcher, and he shared that he knew every corner of the Serengeti and he didn't need to use a radio. While on safari, many guides communicate with each other via their radios, but in the twelve days we were with him, not once did he ever turn it on. He was focused and was very aware of animal behavior to indicate where there might be predators. At once point, Amanda and I were looking at four giraffe's, but he noticed they were looking beyond our vehicle at something else. This was when he noticed a female Leopard and her cub in the tall grass. For the next 20 minutes, we were able to watch them as they climbed two trees and drank water and interacted with each other. This photo conveyed his focus and drive as he searched for us to create the best safari experience.
When driving towards Lake Manyara, there are little homes and villages on the way. Our safari vehicle always drew attention, and the children would run towards the road as we passed. They would wave and say hello, and it always brought a smile to our faces to see their enthusiasm. Many would yell, asking for candy, which we did not have, but we would have to continue on our way and were unable to stop, though we wanted to, many times. You may also notice that these boys are not wearing shoes, but that didn't seem to stop them from enjoying their adventure and climbing a tree.
Many places in Tanzania are lush and green, and water is abundant. But as you get out of the foothills and enter more arid climates, the struggle to get water can be a challenge. Throughout our travels, we would see carts like this, referred to as Kalahari Ferrari's by one of our local guides, Sadi. People would travel for miles to get water for their crops and livestock in this fashion.
Amanda and I just got back from another wonderful trip to Tanzania. This year we were able to take a balloon ride over the Serengeti, and I have to say it was a real highlight of our trip there.
Our Video of the Flight
Updated November 18, 2017
As a child, I always had this vision of going to Africa and experiencing wild animals in their natural habitat. I could see myself wearing a pith hat and boots in an open vehicle as the untamed Africa unfolded in front of me. Today I am more likely to wear a Tilley hat, flip flops and a long sleeved shirt while on safari in Africa, but the experience is still one of wonder and magic moments that I envisioned as a young boy.
Often when people think of Africa, which is a continent by the way and not a country, (You'd be surprised how many people believe it is a country) their mind goes to stories of Ebola, Malaria and starving children with distended stomachs. As we all know American media feeds us negative stories at a rapid-fire rate and I wanted to dispel some of those ideas and give you a background on what I have experienced by taking tour groups to Tanzania for Shutter Tours.
When you fly halfway around the world to Tanzania, you probably won't be on a safari for just a few short days. We spend 12 days while we are there and there are times when I wish we could extend it even further because there is so much to see and do. According to Travel and Leisure Magazine, the average safari runs between $800-$1000 per day. Most safaris are all inclusive, so though it may seem like a lot, everything is taken care of except for alcohol, staff tips and things you may purchase.
There are budget safari companies that can get your daily cost down to much less. Our per day price is a bit over $500, but I would caution against using deeply discounted tours. When you are taking a trip of a lifetime, the additional cost to ensure a good experience is worth it in my mind.
The early morning came way too soon as we gathered our gear and jumped in the vehicle for an hour and a half journey to visit the Hadzabe Tribe near Lake Eyasi in Tanzania.
The road twisted and turned with lots of bumps as the headlights pierced the darkness, an occasional truck passed us in the opposite direction on the dusty, dark road. As the morning dawned, the road followed a single power line dotted with individual lights in front of homes that were barely 500 square feet. We made our first stop at the Lake Eyasi cultural tourism office to pickup our guide Michael, who was well versed in the ways of the Hadzabe.
Tracy and I will bring guests to Africa again in 2017, and we would like you to join us on this once in a lifetime dream trip to Tanzania. We put together an E-Brochure in PDF format for our upcoming trip to Africa in November 2017.
Staying at beautiful lodges and luxury tented camps, you'll travel in comfort and have such fantastic food that you feel like you are on a cruise ship and always eating. We have excellent chefs creating the best soups, meat and fish dishes as well as fresh fruit dishes each day. And when we are out on safari, we also have boxes lunches out in the bush.
We love seeing the animals, but it's also about having cultural experiences. We will visit a Maasai village near the Ngorongoro Crater, visit our friend Daniel and learn about the Iraqwi Tribe of Tanzania as well as one of my favorite visits, a visit with the Hadzabe Tribe. We also visit the Datoga Tribe where you can watch them create beautiful metal bracelets and a Makonde Tribe woodworking workshop where you'll need to hold onto your wallet.
Every trip we have taken to Africa, we have seen the "Big 5", though there is no guarantee, we are pretty proud of our track record. You will most certainly see elephants, giraffes, lions, hippos, zebras and a whole host of other African wildlife.
The ebook linked below is full of lots of information and photos from the past three years. We wanted to maintain the high-quality images in the .pdf, so it may take some time to download, being almost 200 MB is size.

When I travel I always like to take photos of people, especially what I would call environmental photos. Taking photos in familiar surroundings puts people at ease and in the digital world, you can share your photos with your subject, especially children to get them to relax and have more fun.
One of my goals on the trip was to be able to go to a Maasai village and learn about their culture and spend time asking questions and get a brief understanding of who they are and spend some time interacting in a village where people live on a day to day basis such as in the photo above. Gabriel knew of such a location and I was excited for the day to arrive.
Throughout the trip as we got further away from the main city of Arusha, we would see many Maasai tending to their cows and goats. Most of those responsible for keeping these animals on the move and being fed, comes down to boys often under 6-8 years old being helped by an older brother as in the photo above. It was not unusual to see child after child on the side of the road or off in the distance as we whizzed by on the highway.
When we first arrived at the village, we were met by many of the married women in the village and they performed a greeting song for us as you can see in the short video above.
The men then came out and performed and then started their traditional jumping song and each time the men take their turn, they try to jump higher and higher.
We were then able to go inside a home and learned they take about 4 months to build and are built by the woman. There is not much more than a simple place to have a fire with an exhaust out the side of the hut and an area to sleep. Men and boys sleep together as do the girls and women. And you can see by the photo above, the beds are very simple as is most everything in their lives.
After taking a tour of the home and the homeowner answering many questions, they then shoed us how they make a traditional fire by using a knife and a couple of pieces of wood, something they do on a daily basis in the village I was told. you'll also notice in the photo above, the guy on left wearing a watch. He told me he attended secondary school in Arusha and many villagers had an interest in my watch, apparently its one of the luxury's they do like to own. It's interesting to me as I look at their culture because they only seem to worry about two times of day, sunrise and sunset.
Once they get the embers hot, they then add it to dried cow dung and this is what really starts the main fire.
Next we were able to see children in their school and they are taught English as a second language and they recited the alphabet for us and counted in English as well. The age of the children in the school were between about 3 and the oldest being 11 or 12.
We wandered around the village for a short time and took a few more photo and I thought this one of Ken interacting with the little ones was pretty fun.
Eventually it was time to be on our way, but not before they gave us the hard sell on buying some of their carvings and a few other things they were selling in the village. I picked out a handful of items and then they told me it was $250 Euro's for everything and I just laughed and handed everything back to them and said I was thinking more like $50. We finally agreed on a price for a few items and then we were able to get a few more photos in the village and it was on to our next adventure down the road whatever that might be.
It wasn't long after we left the Maasai village, I asked Gabriel to stop again and I was able to get one of my favorite portraits on the trip. As A photographer one of the first things I learned, when I photo opportunity presents itself, you have to take action and get the photo then or you'll probably never have the opportunity again. Throughout our time driving, every once in awhile we would see Maasai boys on the side of the road with their faces painted either white or black. I asked Gabriel why only a few boys chose to wear paint like that and he said they were boys who had gone through a circumcision ceremony also known as Emuratta.
The ceremony is the most vital initiation of all rite of passages in the Maasai society. This initiation is performed shortly after puberty. Young men are eager to be circumcised and become warriors. Once the boys become warriors they resume responsibility of security for their territory. Circumcision initiation elevates an individual from childhood to adulthood. In order for the boy to be initiated he must prove himself to the community. The boy must exhibit signs of a grown man, by carrying a heavy spear, herding large herd of livestock, etc. After the operation is successfully completed, the boy would receive gifts of livestock from his relatives and friends. He would also gain a tremendous amount of respect for his bravery.
I was really happy to be able to stop and take a few quick photos of these boys as it was really once in a lifetime shot with the perfect location. I threw on my simple "Nifty Fifty" 50mm f/1.8 lens, allowing me to get some beautiful bokeh in the background with excellent sharpness. They were really good sports about me taking their photo and its one I'll always be happy with from my trip.
Next up, we stopped at Olduvai Gorge, considered the cradle of man and one of the most important paleoanthropological sites in the world. It's famous for Mary Leakey and her find of Homo habilis, meaning "man with skill." in 1959.
Here we also met a man with skill, a Massai Medicine Man who was there selling his medicine to other Maasai at Olduvai Gorge where he allowed me to take this portrait.

I love shooting with a digital DSLR with a great lens and in my mind they are both a requirement for getting professional quality images while on vacation. But there are some times when lugging around a backpack full of gear gets annoying and I just want to lighten my load and give my back a rest.
Since I upgraded to my iPhone 5s, I have found that in many instances the iPhone handles the job quite nicely and is less hassle than a DSLR. The one other great thing about having a camera in your pocket it allows you to shoot as much as you want. I believe this is key for becoming a better photographer. The more you shoot, the better you will get a feel for how to compose images and what works from an artistic standpoint. The one challenge is to not merely take snapshots, but to look at the scene and determine what composition will make the best impact on your viewer.
If you are an avid photographer, a good challenge might be to put down your pro gear and shoot with an iPhone for the day like I did in this post one day in Seattle. I took it one step further and shot in B&W mode too.
Below are some examples of images shot with an iPhone 5s. All the images below are edited with Snapseed for some added visual effects. Don't be afraid to play with various programs and edit your images. Most pros run their images through Photoshop before sending to clients, so don't feel as if its cheating or you should just leave your images as they are from the camera. You'll find some great tweaks in Snapseed such as the HDR Scape mode. I always bring this mode down to about 25-25% via the slider as I don't like how artificial it looks as 100%. The Coffee shop and Wine shop images below was enhanced in this mode, just enough to make the colors pop a bit. I also like to play with the Grunge and Drama settings and experiment a bit.
When the digital age came, I resisted moving from film to digital. Then I didn't want to touch my images with Photoshop, I was still trying to be a purist. Now realize these are additional tools to bring our photography to a more professional and polished level.

Elephants in Tarangire National Park in Tanzania

I use panoramic mode a lot when I travel. Learn how to use this mode and you'll create some impacting images. This is the Ngorongoro Crater, one of the 8 natural wonders of the world.

One of my favorite mammals have always been the elephant and I was in for a real surprise in how many we saw throughout the trip. One of the best experiences I was able to have was when 13 elephants walked right in front of our vehicle our first day in Tarangire National Park. One coming so close I could have reached out and touched it as it passed the back of the vehicle. As you can see in the photo below, I also had my GoPro setup as the procession of elephants passed us. I'll upload the video once I'm able to edit it upon arrival back home.
We saw well over 200 elephants during our 2 week safari and at one time we saw over 70 in one group as the migrated in the Serengeti. The photo below is just a small portion of the 70 we saw in this migration.
One thing I was surprised about with Elephants is how they eat Acacia Trees, thorns and all. The Acacia Tree has a very hard thorn and the Elephant will tear them apart and uproot them as I saw on many occasions throughout the trip. You will see trees pulled over as the Elephants do whatever it takes to get to the highest leaves. Having over 40,000 muscles in their trunk, they use their brute force to snap these trees like twigs.
But there is one saving grace for the tree to protect themselves, this is with the cooperation of Ants on the Whistling Thorn Tree, also an Acacia tree. The Ants build little abodes about the size of a small marble and when the tree is disturbed, the ants all get to work and come out and crawl up the nose of an Elephant and bite them. The longer the Elephant stands there, the more they will be bitten.
I was surprised how close we were able to get to an elephant or even groups of them for that matter. We would stay at tented camps some nights and there was always the possibility of them walking next to your tent at night to feed.
As the trip progressed we saw so many elephants that after awhile we didn't even stop to enjoy them as the were so numerous. We also saw a couple of dead elephants and Gabby explained as they get older, their teeth wear down and they are no longer able to survive on their normal diet, having to look for softer food. Eventually they succumb due to a lack of food.
We estimated seeing well over 200 during our safari and below are just a few of my favorite images of those that we stopped for.
This Elephant had a large hole in his ear and the only guess was maybe getting it caught on a stick of some sort. Since is was located in a national park, the idea that it was a bullet wound was very remote.
This elephant was eating an Acacia tree and a few moments later he pulled half the tree down to get to the higher leaves.
One day we came upon a river and were watching the hippos as they wallowed in the river. We then heard some noise in the brush across the river and out walk three elephants who decided to take a bath. The hippos gave way and shared the river with them without creating a commotion. Something they are unable to do with each other as they become very territorial for their perfect spot.
One day when we were at the Tarangire Lodge, two elephants just walked up to the hotel and started foraging for food. There were even some people who were sunbathing by the pool who were a bit surprised.
Here is a video, sorry its a bit shaky and not focused. I forgot to put my Fuji X-E1 into manual focus mode and its tough to shoot video with that camera.
So if elephants are a favorite of yours, then you really need to make it to Africa to see them in their natural environment. Who knows, they might even join you at your hotel.
"Nine O'clock, Cheetah on our left" Ken yells out as Gabriel and I spin our heads to see the elusive Cheetah not more than 25 yards away from our vehicle. The road is dusty and the windswept Serengeti reaches out for miles with dry grass in every direction to the horizon. Our guide "Gabby" as we call him for short, knows this is the area we are most likely to see a Cheetah as we arrive our first day in the plains after leaving Ngorongoro Crater earlier that morning. As one does a "Game Drive" you are always on the lookout for animals and many times I thought I saw a lion or larger animal to only have it be a rock. Our guide Gabby however, on many occasions could see the top of a lions head in the tall grass over a 100 yds. away.
Ken joined the tour with me so I could understand the business side to bring tour groups to Africa as well as understand animal behavior better. Ken was the former Director for the Honolulu Zoo and is such a wealth of knowledge at was at times mind boggling. Most animals we saw he knew not only amazing facts about each one, but could tell me scientific names of the most unusual birds or animals.
Quickly Gabby stops and immediately backs up and says that the Cheetah is eating a fresh kill and it's most likely a Thompson Gazelle. Life can be a bit harsh in Africa as the food chain requires some animals to not always make it. Sure enough as we get a closer look with binoculars and the vehicle, he is right about it being dinner time. The Cheetah is completely oblivious to us and only occasionally looks up to make sure there are no other predators such as Hyenas trying to move it off it's kill.
Gabby knows I need to get the best photos so he maneuvers the Landcruiser into the perfect position so I can start getting the once in a lifetime images with the beautiful light coming from the west. We are also fortunate there are no other vehicles around as the scene unfolds around just the three of us. Many times on safari there will be a sighting and guides will radio the other guides and before you know it there are fifteen vehicles all maneuvering for the best position to see the animal.
After awhile the Cheetah is done eating for a moment as evidenced by her big stomach. She saunters away from the meal and settles into the grass for a couple of minutes, only to stand up and look over the tall grasses to make sure she is still safe. Looking forward, to the side and behind every few minutes she always has to be aware of the surroundings and must eat fast because sooner or later a few Hyenas will show up to challenge her for what is left.
Cheetahs are the fastest land animal in the world and can accelerate from 0-60 mph in only 3 seconds. Their top speed of about 65 mph can only last about 20-60 seconds with only about half their chases being successful. Cheetahs originated about 4 million years ago, making it the oldest cat on the planet. As you look at one in its natural habitat, you are also caught by the beauty of the animal and the certain gracefulness they exhibit even when simply standing in the dry grass.
Eventually we move the vehicle to get one last great view before its time to move to our next destination. I'm truly stunned at this experience and seeing a Cheetah in the wild is a bonus, but to see one and be so close that you can almost count her whiskers is something that one can only dream about.
Slowly Gabby moves the vehicle towards the east as the dust kicks up, the wind and warmth of the sun reminding me once again that I really am in Africa.
Note: I spent two weeks in Africa on Safari in November 2014 and will be sharing many posts from that trip as time allows. As I write this I am in Amsterdam and then off to Istanbul, Turkey so the updates will be intermittent until after December 4th. If you are interested in joining me in 2015 for a trip to Africa please contact me via my contact page for more information.
I'm going to work my way backwards on these posts of Africa as I reflect back on the past two weeks that have truly enriched my life. In America we are fed a vision of Africa that is polar opposites of what I experienced here. We think in terms of Third World" and yes in many ways this is true, but in more ways than not the system works better than ours. Tanzanians are extremely proud of their country and their peaceful way of life. They are not so much in a hurry and "Pole Pole" is a common term used here, meaning going at a slower pace. I have to say on my trip, since it was a FAM trip as I was here for business in looking at many hotels and trying to fit in so much more than most people, was far from Pole Pole. On this last day here before I head to Kilimanjaro Airport in a couple hours, I finally have a chance to relax and breathe a bit and reflect on the past few weeks.
Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would really make it here someday and then experience this beautiful country. The one thing about being on Safari, you stay at some really nice hotels and eat way too much. There is so much food and at times I had to say "no more please" as they just keep bringing many plates of food. The great thing about being on safari is that you also have an inclusive meal setup, so except for drinks, laundry and souvenirs, you really don't have to spend any money once you arrive. The staff is always super friendly and they speak excellent English so the language barrier is not a problem.
Tanzanians in general seem very happy and they are curious where you are from and want to know about our cities and how we live. Many asked me to take them back to America. I had once conversation with a gentleman who grew up in Tanzania and he said he once took a trip to New York and told me after a few days his "memory bank was full" he was overloaded by the city. Some days I felt overloaded as well with all that I was seeing.
We saw tens of thousands of Wildebeest, Zebras, hundreds of Elephants and well over 100 lions and so many variety of birds with beautiful colors and songs. As I write this I am having a challenge trying to distill this trip into a few paragraphs so when I make my journey back to Amsterdam, I'll have a few days there to decompress and write some posts that may make more sense.
I am sad to be leaving Africa and I already miss the Serengeti and NgoroNgoro Crater, where we saw so many beautiful animals in a completely free habitat living life the way they should be. My company Shutter Tours will be working hard to put together a wonderful trip for clients to come and experience a Safari. For many people a trip here will be life changing and I can't wait to come back and share it with those that join me here again.

Goodbye 2015!!!
When I started this year, I thought "This is going to be a great year!" and in a lot of ways it absolutely has. I have done things that 5 years ago I never would have believed I could. I've released more "stuff" this year than I realized I was even carrying and that has made SO much more room for me to show up in my life. I've been asked to speak several times and my last talk "Illuminating Purpose" was for a SOLD OUT audience. I have officially opened my coaching practice, run several groups, and even run retreats – all with glowing reviews from the participants. WOW!!! There have been some HUGE wins.
I have also lost people that I truly didn't believe I could lose, grieved deep losses I've never allowed myself to feel, and have cried more tears in just the last months than I knew I could cry. Those things were definitely not as much fun.
The key, I think, is in realizing that there is always a combination of good and bad, easy and hard, laughter and pain. If life were all light with no darkness I suspect we may not be able to appreciate the light so well. And we can choose to handle ourselves in the most difficult of times with dignity and grace or we can choose to be grumpy and miserable. And both are absolutely ok! We are not required to paste on a happy face to make other people think we will be ok. We WILL BE ok, and the reason I needed to grieve those deep things I've never allowed myself to feel was because I'd always pasted on a happy face to make other people think I would be ok! I know it's not always appropriate or smart to wear your heart on your sleeve, but in the privacy of my own home I will allow myself the space to feel what I feel so I can release it and move on. This is a promise I make to myself.
Last night, as I was trying to go to sleep, I found myself pondering the year and the transitions I'm working through and then I asked myself, "What are 3 things I want to take away from this year and hold onto?" Here they are:
- A good pillow and a heating blanket can provide more warmth on a cold night than anyone who is incapable of recognizing your brilliance, your beauty, your sheer awesomeness ever could.
- No matter what life throws at me, I triumph! I may get knocked down, but I ALWAYS get back up and am smarter and more resilient from the learning.
- I am STRONGER, more CAPABLE, more POTENT, and more MAGICAL than I ever realized was possible!
What are you going to take with you into this new year that has yet to be created? Is 2016 going to be an amazing year? ABSOLUTELY!! Will it be bumpy? I'm certain at times it will, but if you choose it, you can get back up every time you get knocked down, smarter and more resilient from the learning.
Thank you for your time, your interest, and your love in 2015. I look forward to seeing more of you in the coming year!
Happy New Year!!!!!

Size does matter – for all men who are into their sexual side of life, this is really true. First, having the right penis size stow away the things that affects self-confidence. Second, the pleasure to attain satisfaction can add up to good mood all throughout the day. Most of all, male enhancement pills are great way to show your perfectly elongated penis to your partner resulting to a much more pleasure for you both. But with all the information and claims that these products can do, is this for everyone's consumption? Read along as we reveal to you the things that you need to know before buying any male enhancements.
The most important thing everybody should know is that male enhancement pills are designed for healthy people with the right mind and age. Generally, it is not advisable for teenagers to buy these pills or any kind of male enhancements because their penis size isn't fully developed yet. And most importantly, they are to be considered as playful individuals so involving them to sexual enhancement is really immature.
And since this pills are said to be designed for healthy individuals, then all people who are under medications or undergoing surgeries need to consult with their doctors first. Male enhancement pills contain strong ingredients like herbs and other substances that may react with other medications. This is true among people who have cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and other lifestyle related medical conditions.
Male enhancements are initially prescribed for sexual dysfunction and impotence. Doctors and other allied healthcare professionals may be strict to recommend you a brand to improve your sexual performance. So if you are one of the people who are actually fit for sex, no problems in psychological and medical ways, then your doctor can prescribe you other ways. Well, there are more liberal doctors out there so it is still easy to get credible advice.
Some male enhancements products are too good to be true. Some claims to have permanent effects while some claims that they can counteract whatever reasons of impotence you have. For whatever reason there is, it is good to buy only brands that are proven to be safe and effective. Male enhancement pills really can contribute to a permanent effect only if you continue to take them at a given amount of time. Make sure that what you are getting is made from quality materials.
If you are impotent, you may want to find out the cause of it first. Some may be genetic and some may be psychological. Taking male enhancement pills with wrong reasons are dangerous to health. Moreover, you are just wasting your money hoping that this will cure your impotence and end up with nothing.
While it is true that taking these wonder supplements increase your sex drive, it may also cause increase in side effects. You need to do some self-assessment first by checking if you really do need to buy one of these pills are you just need it to have fun. Any other way, just make sure that you are taking them with extra precaution.

Early Rise: Somewhere between rocker and traditional sits the Early Rise. This helps the tip of the ski get up in softer snow, and still maintains good edge grip and firm snow performance.
Skier Ability: Advanced to Expert: Skipping the blue runs to get to the black runs, but sometimes a little cautious when it gets very steep, or some hesitation when your buddy says, ''You just have to clear those rocks or else you're toast.''
WaveLight : Waves in the structure of the ski enable soft flex and great stability in the turn. Due to specific shape of the waves they make the skis thinner and lighter.
Textured Surface: Ideal for repelling wear and tear on the skis surface. Textured ski surfaces (aka snakeskin topsheet) are rough surfaces to the ski that hide or repel scratches keep your skis look new long after they are not. Originally designed for rental skis for obvious reasons, this surface is now available on a wide variety of retail skis as well since everyone likes their skis to look nice.
Wood Core: The standard core which has throughout time provided the best performance and durability. Each model may have it's own density level to help define flex and maximum speed but every wood core ski will be solid.
Cap Construction: The topsheet of this ski drapes over the edge to form a clean and rounded finish to the side of the ski. This style of construction adds some torsional rigidity, and helps reduce topsheet chipping when the skis hit each other.
Ideal Target Skier: West Coast All Mountain Skier: Skiers on the west coast will enjoy this ski as an all mountain, do everything model, while skiers on the east coast will find this more suitable for powder skiing, or when there is chopped up crud to be had.
Skier Ability: Intermediate to Advanced: Sometimes these skiers are intermediate, and on a good day, they are advanced, but hard to commit to one level. They can ski most places on the mountain, sometimes with a little difficulty, but always making it down without crying and calling ski patrol.

To be a successful writer, one must read.
It's not ME who says this, but it's authors like Anita Diamant (author of one of my all-time favorite books, The Red Tent) and Stephen King.
[one_half] [/one_half][one_half_last][/one_half_last]
They kind of know what they're talking about.
Since most of our favorite authors don't really have an outlet like a book blog to espouse their feelings on books they read, I'm throwing them a bone and opening up Smut Book Club to be a platform.
Thus begat Authors Love Authors.
Unrelated: Begat is my new favorite word.
My first author lover is actually the lady brain who had this idea in the first place: Tessa Bailey. Known for her outrageously dirty-talking alpha males, Tessa is one of my favorite authors. Not only is she super pretty (a requirement for me to like you) but she's also a machine when it comes heh to pumping heh out must-read stories.
Here are 3 of my favorite Tessa Bailey books that need to be added to your Reading List:
With my gushing out of the way, Tessa wants to tell you about a book she just read and thinks you will love, too. It also happens to be very high on my Reading List.
Burned by Tara Sivec
+ Favorite Quotes
"You bet your ass I'm going to taint this fucking house."
"You can play with your nipples, baby, but this," I tell her as I cup her sex in my hand, "is mine. Even when I'm taking your ass, Lee, it'll still be my fingers fucking your pussy. You don't get to touch."
Heat Level: Molten
Kink Rating: Mild = Some power play
Genre: Modern Romance, Erotica
Series: Standalone
Tessa Says:
In my mind, Tara Sivec became a master of writing reunited lovers with the Chocolate Lovers series. Loved those books hardcore. She nails it once again in BURNED with a couple that singes the pages with a long-carried torch. It's a hot, heartfelt story of redemption with a huge heaping of sexy firefighter on top. Boom. You can't go wrong here.
I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for sharing my honest opinion.[/box_light]
If you haven't yet added Tessa's newest release Baiting the Maid of Honor to your Reading List, Nelle and Adrian think you absolutely should!
Authors Love Authors is in the beta stages of development and is by invitation-only. If you are an author who has previously been recommended on Smut Book Club and are interested in recommending another author, please email me or message me on Facebook.

The amount of force a hammer imparts to the receiving object derives from two things: how much mass the hammer has, and how much oomph you put behind the swing. (mass times acceleration, for you physics students)
How To Build Body Like Thor – Chris Hemsworth by
Indomitable Will : Thor has shown to have a powerful force of will, so much so that he has defied the will of his father Odin, who is his king and is bound to serve him, on several occasions if he feels the need to do so. He does not back down from any foe, does not give into a fight and is willing to lay down his own life in defense of others. On occasion, he has demonstrated the will power necessary to overcome mental domination. [697]

[76] Thor lost it centuries ago, but recently reclaimed it from the Apocalypse Twins. [777] In addition to piercing Celestial armour, Jarnbjorn is an effective blunt force instrument, Thor used it to kill Gorr [778] and cleave off one of Red Onslaught's horns. [779]

Brick & Mortar Hammers - These hammers used by builders sometimes have a chisel (pein) on both ends, or sometimes they can have a hammer one end and chisel the other. Typically they are used for breaking bricks neatly.
"In the first series, there was this sense of fun and excitement," Bennett said in an interview with ComicsBeat. "With Bombshells United , we're refocusing the series around a different conceit: the historical failures of the war and the question of 'if you had had a second chance in life, what would you have done differently?'"
Medicine Ball Exercises. Med or fitness balls are important in increasing explosive power which is a great help in throwing. Plyometric training, or training on how to maximize your muscle strength in a short period of time is crucial in hammer throwing because you have to give the best you've got in just three or four turns.
The basic shape and design of a hammer has not change for hundreds of years. Traditionally the handle was made from wood, most commonly ash or hickory. Now this is changing with the introduction of other materials which can absorb the shock from the hammer blow better or are considerably lighter and/or stronger.
In terms of eat post-workout you should eat something in a timely manner, it doesn't have to be immediate, although pretty much every athlete I have ever known doesn't have a problem with this. We are a hungry bunch after training.
For starters, the shot of flames washing through the city and turning a courtyard and its greenery to ash is completely devoid of people. A full-scale evacuation doesn 8767 t seem likely although we would ask anyone to estimate the actual population of Asgard so it seems not enough is actually known about the sequence of events or plot to make an educated guess. It 8767 s possible that there 8767 s nobody left in Asgard, but it may simply be a case of Marvel not wishing to show the fiery death of hundreds of Asgardians. In which case this shot could actually depict the death of thousands. Yikes.
While I was at David Savage 's workshop I was delighted and surprised to see he used a "lump hammer" for assembling casework.

Dec. 19th, 2007: Corrected design approach & added cautions
Dec. 8th, 2007: Home-brew considerations, Parts & software, Market evaluation
Dec. 7th, 2007: Intro, Solution, Design
After some unfortunate accidents in the past, where data was *almost* lost, I decided to take certain precautions to make sure my data is safe.
I've been a Slackware Linux
As of this writing, I have 96.1GB left, and I still haven't copied my old data!
Why not an OTS?To understand why I'm building one from scratch, rather than getting one of those off-the-shelf (OTS) Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices, one would have to understand the problems of the OTS devices:
- OTS NAS devices come with a built-in hardware RAID controller; If that controller got busted/burnt, you can no longer access your data, unless you buy ANOTHER device of the same brand (all hardware RAID controllers use proprietary methods to store data).
- If one of the disks fail, you have to buy a replacement disk of the same brand AND model number (limitation of the hardware controller), which is most likely not possible, unless you buy another NAS device of the same brand, hoping to have the same old disks.
- Limited connectivity, by offering usually USB 2.0 or maybe 100Mbit Ethernet, rather than 1Gbit, WiFi, 4x USB 2.0, FireWire, ...etc.
- To extend your current storage, you have to buy another NAS, as there's no way to expand/stack an existing one.
What does a home-brew NAS offer?It depends on your approach, and design of the NAS, and of course, budget!
I'm planning an initial 4TB NAS, to withhold ALL my data, and data of other family computers in the house (either directly, or backed to the NAS). So, my budget is kind of flexible, but I'm all for cheap stuff, so I'll squeeze the money out of every item I buy!
Getting to the point, the NAS I have in mind, will offer the following:
- Easy and cheap disk expansion
- Multiple ways of delivering data to workstations: Ethernet, Wifi, USB / HTTP, FTP, Samba (Windows share)
- User-level data separation, by authentication
- Scheduled backups
- Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Support
- Ability to use disks from any vendor
- Data openness: If the management system fails, a replacement can be made of any typical computer, and data would still be accessible
- Stream video to PS3 (using VLC) or to TV, using a laptop/set-top box.
- Early detection of failures: By using software that monitors the disks, whenever something fails, or errors start occurring, send an email.
One could argue that current OTS NAS devices that offer 2TB are cheaper than building one from scratch, which might be true, but most likely would not offer any of the advantages above, and would suffer from all disadvantages. And, on the long run, using a home-brew one, would prove to be cheap, when expanding to extra storage, as demand grows.
Points of caution with a home-brewIf you aren't careful with your design and implementation, you could seriously jeopardize your data.
Before jumping into scenarios, I should mention this info, in case you didn't know it: Linux's RAID arrays can be built on partitions & block devices, that is, you can create a RAID5 array of 5 partitions on the same disk, or of different disks!
Now, consider the following:
- Scenario 0 - Expansion: Let's say I have a RAID5 array of 5x 500GB disks, and have consumed 90% of it. Time to expand! Unfortunately, the market no longer has 500Gb disks, so let's say we have 750GB disks. When adding the new 750GB disk, I'd have to partition it into 1x 500GB & 1x 250GB, because the smallest disk size in the array is 500GB. The remaining 250GB partition can be treated as a standalone partition and not part of an array. (its contents can be backed up to the array, though).
- Scenario 1 - Expansion: Instead of buying a new 750GB disk, I bought a 1TB disk. The WORST idea ever is to partition the disk into 2x 500GB partitions and adding BOTH to the RAID5 array; why is that so bad? because if the 1TB disk failed, I'd lose 2 pieces of the array, not just one, and hence, loose ALL my data residing on that array!!
A workaround, is to join one partition into the array, and put the other as a standalone.
- Scenario 2 - Replacement: Let's say I have a RAID5 array of 5x 500Gb disks. One disk made a bobo and died on me. The above solutions of the Expansion scenarios apply here, as well.
- All disks will fit in a rack/case, with a built-in Power Supply Unit (PSU)
- Next to the disk rack, is a motherboard rack/stack; they'll act as management computers. Each motherboard should have 6-8 SATA2 ports handled by the chipset directly, not by a controller*.
- SATA data cables are extended from the disk rack to the management stack.
- All racks are powered through a UPS. The management boxes monitor the UPS's battery status, and put the disks in sleep mode then shutdown automatically when needed. (Or shutdown the disk rack if possible to shutdown the specific UPS port)
- Management boards will boot the OS from a USB memory stick, because it's cheaper than a hard disk (and faster)
Next to the disk rack, is a motherboard rack/stack, which will have multi mini/nano ITX boards; they'll act as management computers Management boxes must have built-in SATA 2 ports and one PCI slot. A PCI-to-SATA adapter will be connected to provide more SATA ports. The max is around 6 ports per board, that is 6 managed disks. This assures that if one management box dies, some data is still accessible.
* Because the controller communicates via the PCI bus, which has a lower speed than that of the chipset, and all ports connected to the controller will be sharing a single bus. Ports that are handled by the chipset are independent.
* 32-bit PCI buses have a max throughput of 133 MB/s, while the common PCIe 1.1 has a max of 250 MB/s, and PCIe 2.0 has a max of 500 MB/s.
This means, having a PCIe 1.1 adapter/card with 4 SATA2 ports, will result in limiting the max throughput of the disks to 250 MB/s, instead of 300 MB/s per disk, because all the disks connected to these 4 ports are sharing a single bus.
One could have multiple PCIe cards, but create RAID arrays of one disk from each card; This would work for non-high-load configurations. Under high load.
Figure 0 is the old design, which I scrapped (using mini/nano itx motherboards & PCI).
Figure 1 is the new approach and shows 2 ways to implement a NAS:
- The first is more suitable for environments where there's no dust accumulation, like server rooms, or if you like the occaisional dust-blowing adventures... It also depends on the space available for future growth.
Note that those disk-specific racks come with their own power supply, which is different than a typical power supply, because it has power pins for disks only, no motherboard pin.
- A good reason to go for the 2nd is if the case supports multiple power supplies, for redundancy. Useful for critical machines.
Pay extra attention to the power supply & make sure it can support the max number of disks your motherboard allows.
Parts & software
- 1x disk rack, or a CD/DVD duplicator rack, fitted with 5.25"-to-3.5" bay converters.
Note: duplicator cases' PSU provide 1 power cable per bay; The bay converters take 3 5.25" bays, and provide 4 disk bays. This means, for a 9-bay rack, 4 disks won't have power.
- 5x 1TB disks (NO Western Digital!!! Very bad history)
- 2x CD/DVD PSU duplicator for 12 disks (on a 9-bay rack) -- One will be used, and another is a backup
- mini or nano ITX boards with 2x SATA ports & a PCI slot to house a PCI-to-SATA adapter.
- UPS: Power rate depends on the number of disks & boards
- OpenFiler OS to manage the disks.
Market evaluationThe prices of computer hardware in Kuwait are very high, and depending on the total cost of the project, one must see whether it's worth buying from the Internet, or not.
As of this writing, the price of a 1TB disk = 100 K.D., and 500GB = 40 K.D., in Kuwait, while online, 500GB = 25K.D. and 1TB = 74 K.D. ($1 USD = 0.2743 K.D.). So, if you decide to buy 3x 500GB disks, you'd save 45 K.D., take 30 K.D. out for shipping (assuming worst case), you still save 15 K.D.!
Note, that on 1Tb disks, you save 25 K.D. per disk, so for 5 disks, that's 125 K.D., minus 45 for shipping (assumption), you save 80 K.D.!!!! These savings can get you a management computer!
So, as far as I'm concerned, I'll be buying from the Internet, to avoid the absurdly high expenses of the local market.

Many people are still wondering why they should have a local mobile locksmith's contact number on their phones, and yet they keep on locking themselves out of their car, house, office or store. An emergency happens at times we least expect it, and on times when we're in a hurry. Has it happened to you when you lost your car keys and you're in a rush to your meeting? or you got home late, and your house key is missing? Sometimes our keys tend to go m.i.a when we need them the most. I don't know why and how, but it does happen, and it happens a lot of times.
While you must have tried to break your door lock or your window to get in your house, your car, or your office, a local mobile locksmith can get you in fast, and without leaving damage to your property.
And here are the top 5 reasons why you must save a local mobile locksmith's contact number on your phone:
Local Mobile Locksmiths are on-call 24/7
A local mobile locksmith must be available 24/7 because of emergencies like a lockout or losing keys, happen anytime and anywhere, and having their contact number on your phone is necessary. You will thank yourself in the future if do have them saved on your phone.
Quick Response
A reliable local mobile locksmith must arrive on time especially in times of emergencies. When you're locked out of your car, or your house, you are open to danger. And being locked out in the middle of the night, or under a very bad weather would not only expose you to danger, but your health might also suffer.
Licensed, Bonded and Insured
It would be a relief to know that the locksmith who's doing the lock picking for you, or extracting the broken key out of your lock is licensed, bonded and insured. That way you would know that your property is safe in case the locksmith broke it while doing his job.
Experienced Locksmith Won't Damage Your Property
A professional locksmith who is experienced and have vast knowledge in any locks won't drill your door lock to get you in. He will pick the lock in seconds to help you get in without leaving any damage to your door and your lock.
Reasonable Price
A local locksmith usually offers affordable locksmith services to their clients. A lockout service, for example, starts at $35 plus $19 service fee in order to cover the locksmith technician's travel expenses. The prices vary on the kind of service, of course, but the locksmith company should be able to give you a quote on the phone. Always ask for a quote, anyways, it's free.
You must do your research before saving any locksmith's phone number on your phone though, to ensure your safety. Not all locksmith companies can be trusted. You must be careful in choosing the right local mobile locksmith to pick the lock for you or rekey your front door. You are giving a total stranger an access to home, might as well choose the one you know can be trusted.
If you are curious about how much car key replacement, car key extraction, or new lock installation cost, you may check in the prices we offer for the locksmith services we provide.

The beach without all the rocks. The beach with way more palm trees than houses. The beach where the turtles love to lay their eggs.
Casa Oasis Troncones is close enough to walk to downtown stores, restaurants and yoga, but far enough away for a never-crowded, practically private beach. Which means all the solitary beach walks you want.
The best swimming beach, really!
We are right in front of the best "swimming hole" in town. Our beach is a huge, sandy rock-free surf and splash paradise all season long. People sometimes come from other areas of town just to swim or surf here.
There's even an elusive surf break right out front, and several right down the beach from us. Note: Rocks are sometimes uncovered during deep summer storms, but not during high season.
Three Troncones vacation rentals nestled in tropical gardens
There's the Beachfront Penthouse, an 1100-square foot one-bedroom, one and a half bath flat that takes up the entire top floor of the main house. Next there's the larger two-bedroom Downstairs Beachfront Flat, which has two full baths, a larger kitchen and pantry, and both indoor and outdoor living areas — all with stunning ocean views. Finally, there's our brand new Treehouse Loft two-bedroom garden apartment, which sleeps 4 in breezy comfort. It's a tropical adventure in itself, with its crow's nest bedroom, with stunning 360° views of mountain, jungle, treetops and beach.
Peace and privacy
The property is set up like a compound, with space around each unit for peace and privacy. Each Troncones vacation rental has a separate entrance, so, you can have one all to yourself for a romantic getaway, or rent a combination of units for your group or family beach retreat (the entire compound sleeps 12 comfortably). All units have access to our gardens, pool and secluded sandy swimming beach.
Spectacular scenery
Casa Oasis offers great views of the pristine beach and lush tropical landscape from every unit. From the penthouse, check out the surf, enjoy the sunset or watch whales and dolphins frolic from the comfort of your own ocean-view sofa. Downstairs, be one with the beach — your indoor and outdoor ocean-view sofas are just steps from the sand. And from the Treehouse, you get 360° aerial views of tropical forest, beach and mountains. Not to mention the insanely beautiful Troncones night sky. Milky way much?
Tropical privacy Casa Oasis is its own private world on a nearly private beach. The sound of the waves and the songs of tropical birds will be your only soundtrack.
