An event such as the British Open can create heroes among the unheralded.
There is Bryden Macpherson, for example.
The 23-year-old Australian and former University of Georgia player, exempt into this event because he was fourth at the 2013 Australian Open, shot 90 in his first round at Royal Liverpool. That included a run to open his back nine Thursday of 7-6-8-4-7.
Friday, he picked it up a bit, shot 80 and said, with humor and a sense of perspective, "I actually hit the ball in play today."
He also had other gems:
—"Yesterday, my short game was actually really good."
—"There are glimpses out there."
—"It would be a little weird for me to retire, I think. It's a little character building, that's all it is."
Out of the factory
Also in the unheralded hero category would be John Singleton, who lives close to the Royal Liverpool course, works 9-to-5 in an area resin factory and plays his golf after work in a municipal course across from Royal Liverpool. He qualified to get in and had a big local following for his first round, but he slipped badly on his back nine and shot 78 Thursday. He rebounded with a two-under par 70 on Friday, but did not make the cut.
Singleton is 30. He played college golf in Illinois for a while and was a pro golfer for a couple of years before two knee injuries forced him back home and to the resin factory.
Better than any hospital stay
Then there is Erik Compton, a two-time heart transplant recipient who continues to amaze people with his pursuit of pro golf. He shot a 71, one under par, in the first round and was asked about some of the bogeys in his round.
"This was a better day than any day I ever had in the hospital," Compton said.
Mickelson's magic
And in the category of heralded heroes, we have the ever-present, never-to-be-explained-nor-figured-out Phil Mickelson, the defending champion.
He is struggling just to stay above the cut line, so it didn't bode well for him when he drove it out of bounds Friday on the par-five 10th hole.
So what did Phil the magician do? He re-teed, hit his third shot well down the fairway, his fourth to six feet of the pin and his fifth into the cup.
Routine par.
John Daly struggles
John Daly is playing here. Yes, he is still playing and is exempt in the British because he is a former champion (1995 at St. Andrews).
It is kind of sad. They have him teeing off very late or very early with the other projected noncontenders, and he verified the organizers' lack of faith in him at this late stage of his career by opening with a 77 on Thursday.
Hazards on course
The fan who was struck in the face Thursday by Ernie Els' drive on the first hole has yet to be identified by the Royal and Ancient, which runs this event. But officials did say he was taken to the hospital, had some stitches, was not seriously injured and was given tickets to come back for the weekend.
Els was so shaken — the man bled a lot — that he lost all focus, three-putted the first hole from two feet and shot 79, a horrible start for somebody who has won this cherished event twice, including as recently as two years ago at Royal Lytham & St Annes.
The man was not the only one hit Thursday. A marshal named Bill Davis got conked twice, once by Rickie Fowler and once by Charl Schwartzel. Davis said both were nice to him but told the London Times, "Fowler seemed more interested at first in where the ball was."
Sergio Garcia nears lead
Sergio Garcia holds the lead among the pros for most consecutive majors entered with 61. He is second, behind Lee Westwood's 65, with 63 majors entered and no victories.
Friday, Garcia got it going early by muscling a shot out of the rough and into the hole on No. 2, an eagle that put him at five under and, at the time, just a stroke back of leader Rory McIlroy.

Spring Flowering Crocus Bulbs
Buy Crocus bulbs (corms) online at Bulbs & beyond!
Crocus corms are hardy perennial flowering plants that are part of the Iridaceae family and are native to large parts of Europe and Asia. Crocuses thrive in woodland, scrub and meadows and the various different varieties flower in autumn, winter or spring. At Bulbs & beyond we currently offer the late winter/early spring blooming large-flowering (Dutch) Crocus (Crocus vernus), as well as the smaller yet slightly earlier flowering Crocus Species. Click here to view the range of our different Crocus bulbs on offer.
Crocuses may appear as small and fragile plants but don't be fooled by their size because they are extremely hardy and are not bothered at all by cold weather. A few days of late-winter sunshine is enough to get Crocus bulbs to flower and brighten up your garden or patio pots in February and March.
Crocus corms are ideal for naturalising. Because Crocuses are one of the earliest spring flowering bulbs their flowers and leaves will have died down before it is time to cut the grass for the first time. Crocus bulbs can therefore easily be planted en masse not only in borders, but also in the lawn. You will achieve the most dramatic impact when you plant Crocus bulbs in large numbers (at least 100 but more is even better). Note that Crocus corms spread freely so it may be necessary to divide crowded bulbs every few years, as when they become too dense they won't flower as readily.
Planting Crocus corms
Crocus corms can be planted from September to November in well-drained soil at a depth of 7-10cm and also 7-10cm apart. Most Crocuses prefer to be in a sunny spot but will tolerate partial shade. All our Crocus varieties naturalise well and look best when planted in swathes of larger numbers.
Tip: When planting Crocus bulbs in the lawn, please take care that you try to wait with taking out the lawnmower for the first grass cutting until the Crocus leaves have died down naturally, as they would need their leaves for several weeks after flowering to produce enough energy for next year's flowering.

COMBAT OUTPOST SHIR GHAZAY, Afghanistan – Marine Corps Cpl. Charlemagne Jennings was one of four children who grew up while his father was in prison and credits the enlisting in the Marines with changing his life.
"I had it kind of rough growing up as a kid with my dad being locked up for 13 and a half years, and my mom struggled to find work for a little while during that time," said Jennings, from Athens, Ga., who is a maintenance management clerk with Bravo Company, 2nd Tank Battalion, Regimental Combat Team 6. "The rough times I went through as a kid, though, definitely shaped me up. From an early age, I knew life wasn't going to be easy, but I decided to just straddle up and go along with the punches."
Jennings played football and ran track in high school, but he decided not to pursue that in college and enlisted in the Marine Corps in October 2008.
"I wanted to do things that my family hadn't done before," Jennings said. "I wanted to become the first person in five generations of my family to serve their country. I liked the challenges the Marine Corps offered me, and I realized the life lessons that can be learned through being a Marine were invaluable. I mean, the Marine Corps helped shape me into the man I am today."
While Jennings is proud of his time in the Marine Corps, he does not plan to re-enlist.
"I plan on becoming a barber and going to college. After I'm done with that, I'm going to get a resume put together to become an actor," Jennings said. "I want to play some roles in comedy movies at some point."
Jennings came into the Marine Corps with an open contract not knowing what his job would be, but doesn't regret the decision.
"I love my job. I mean right now in Bravo Company, these 14 tanks are mine along with all the other vehicles," Jennings said. "It's a lot of responsibility making sure all the vehicles are running smoothly, but it's a good job."
Jennings is married and has a 3-year-old stepson and a 1-year-old son waiting for him back home.
"It's hard being a new father and having to be on a deployment, because you have to miss your kids growing up and the early moments in their life," Jennings said. "My 1 year old grew his first tooth two days after I left on this deployment and just started to walk on his own. It's rough, but it's also nice having that to look forward to when I get back home."
To cope with being away from his loved ones, Jennings listens to music.
"Music has helped me a lot during this deployment," Jennings said. "In my off time at night, I usually go sit by the tanks and listen to music for about three hours. It's my time during the day in which I devote to back home. I just think about everybody and what's going on back there."
His daily tasks include keeping track of all repairs on tanks and vehicles.
"He's unique and a hard worker. He really is the guy in charge of all the maintenance," said Marine Corps Sgt. Joshua Whiting, Bravo Company's maintenance ramp chief. "He's the guy that makes sure we get all the parts we need and keeps the vehicles going. Jennings is the only guy in his job we have with us on this deployment. It's essential he does a good job, and he has throughout the deployment."

"We will restore science to its rightful place"
— President Barack Obama at his inaugural address
I heard this past weekend that the EPA has classified carbon dioxide as a pollutant that is hazardous to public health, and therefor needs to be regulated. What I feel is being left out of the discussion is that this much maligned gas is plant food. I assume we all learned about the process of photosynthesis in high school biology. In our society we apparently talk a lot about being "green", but it appears to me that the EPA's decision is actually anti-green.
Here's a refresher on the process of photosynthesis.
Carbon dioxide is essential for plant growth
More carbon dioxide means greater biomass in plants (more plant growth)
There are a couple interesting things to note. One is that CO2 is heavier than air, so it has a tendency to sink towards the Earth. The Greenhouse Effect takes place in the upper atmosphere. I imagine there's a bit of CO2 up there. The amount of it in the atmosphere as a whole is minute, about 380 parts per million. Here's a decent article on the chemical composition of the atmosphere, and what's known about its evolution since the Earth was first formed. It's a bit old (it said CO2 was (currently) at 360 PPM).
Secondly, the chemical equation for photosynthesis (see the 2nd link called "process of photosynthesis") shows that an equal amount of oxygen is produced from the amount of carbon dioxide that was introduced into the process. So more CO2 at the start will eventually produce a more oxygen-rich environment.
I understand there are concerns about global warming stemming from rising CO2 levels, but this side of the science is left out of the discussion, and it shouldn't be. CO2 has a good side as well, and what these videos show in the small is that our biosphere has a natural response to higher carbon dioxide levels. It is absorbed into the bodies of plants and more oxygen is produced. We can think of plants as our natural carbon scrubbers. More than that, more plant growth leads to more food for us and animal life.

HONG KONG (Reuters) - Shares of Foxconn International Holdings Ltd (FIH) (2038.HK), the world's biggest contract maker of cellphones, fell more than 4 percent after the firm said it expected to record a net loss for 2012 as a result of low demand from its major clients.
The last time FIH was in the red for the full year was 2010, when it reported a net loss of $218.3 million as key clients such as Nokia Oyj NOK1V.HE started to lose market share to Apple Inc (AAPL.O) in the booming smartphone market.
FIH said on Wednesday its net loss for the second half of last year was expected to be smaller than the group's first-half net loss, which came in at $226.07 million, its worst ever first-half performance.
Shares in FIH, which assembles phones for brands such as Nokia and Huawei Technologies Co Ltd HWT.UL but not Apple Inc (AAPL.O), fell as much as 4.2 percent in early trade on Thursday. By 0205 GMT, the shares were down 3.1 percent at HK$3.47, lagging the main Hang Seng Index .HSI which was flat.
Its shares rallied in the fourth quarter of last year when several brokerages said they expected FIH's parent, Foxconn Technology Group, to pass some iPhone assembling operations from its Hon Hai Precision Industry Co Ltd (2317.TW) to the company by the end of the year.
Neither FIH nor Foxconn Technology Group has confirmed that this is happening.
"We believe the speculation on Hon Hai's Apple order transfer was overdone," Aaron Jeng, an analyst from Nomura, said in a report.
Barclays analyst Dale Gai said any contribution from Apple would likely be delayed to the second half of 2013.
"We are not expecting strong demand in the first half of 2013, based on the weak first-quarter sales guidance Apple announced today, as we expect Hon Hai to continue keep all iPhone assembly production at its owned facilities," he said.

iPhone users no longer have an excuse to buy bottled water. A new iPhone application called "Oasis Places," created by Thermos, allows users to track locations, ratings, and photos of water fountains across the U.S. The best part? It's FREE (unlike expensive plastic bottled water.)
Proponents of plastic bottled water argue that it is the most convenient source of water while on the go; however, this application makes it easy for travelers to do away with plastic bottles, in favor of reusable stainless bottles that can be refilled at any of these various fountains. What's more, registered users of the iPhone app can add new fountains, comments and pictures, and can rate the water on several criteria, including coldness, location, cleanliness and flavor.
Thermos is sponsoring random giveaways of hydration bottles to registered users in the months of August and September to celebrate the launch of "Oasis Places." Using these bottles in lieu of plastic disposables will cut down on bottled water waste significantly. The app is now available for free download on iTunes..

I recently drove Porsche's new 2012 Panamera S Hybrid. My eyes finally are starting to adjust to Porsche's first four-door sports sedan's body and, except for its $95,000 base price tag, it's a practical offering.
The Panamera S Hybrid, which visually matches up with its Panamera siblings, is propelled by an eco-friendly hybrid powertrain and delivers well-rounded performance expected of a Porsche.
The sports sedan's hybrid powertrain delivers an estimated fuel economy of 22 miles per gallon city, 30 mpg highway and 25 mpg combined (on premium gasoline). This compares with the standard Panamera's fuel efficiency — second best in the seven-vehicle Panamera lineup — of 18/27/21 mpg. During a week of conservatively driving the test vehicle, with a considerably higher percentage of time spent on the highway, average fuel economy ranged from 27-34 mpg.
The rear-wheel-drive Panamera S Hybrid's parallel full hybrid drive system consists of a supercharged 3.0-liter V-6, delivering 333 horsepower and 325 lb.-ft. of torque, teamed with an electric motor producing 47 horsepower and 221 lb.-ft. of torque. The system, which also includes a nickel-metal hydride battery pack, generates a total output of 380 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 428 lb.-ft. of torque at 1,000 rpm.
Mated with an eight-speed Tiptronic S automatic transmission with smooth-chrome steering wheel shift paddles, the Panamera S Hybrid zips from a stop to 60 mph in 5.7 seconds and accelerates to a top track speed of 167 mph.
The driver has the option of pressing an E-Power switch on the floor console, which enables extended electric driving — a choice some may prefer when driving in residential areas or in parking garages.
While considerably more busy-looking than traditional Porsches such as the 911, the four-place interior layout is clean and sophisticated. It's comfortable with firm, supportive seats front and rear. Up front, headroom and legroom are generous. Considering Panamera's long roof, with a steep rear-window slope, I was expecting tight accommodations in the rear, but was surprised by excellent headroom and legroom.
A drawback of the rear-window slant is limited visibility out the rear. An advantage of the configuration is that the lifted power-operated hatch provides easy access to a generous trunk, providing up to 40.7 cubic feet of storage capacity with rear seats folded.
What are your thoughts on Porsche's new hybrid four-door sedan offering?

Pakistan remains desperately short of the money it needs to cope with the huge floods that have devastated the country in the past two weeks, the United Nations warned Tuesday as the scale of the disaster continued to grow.
A government relief fund established by Pakistan's prime minister has collected just $1.4 million, a government spokesman said. The United States has provided another $76 million in cash, and other countries and international agencies have pledged about $280 million more, which will be distributed through the government, the UN and nongovernmental organizations. The World Bank is to make $900 million available.
Those amounts, however, are nowhere near the billions that are needed to deal with a calamity that's swept through more than one-fifth of Pakistan's land mass, wiped out crops in the agricultural heartland, affected more than 20 million people and has many people worrying that the government itself could collapse. The Finance Ministry has warned that the floods probably will halve the nation's projected 4.5 percent economic growth this year.
"This is probably the biggest emergency on the planet today, and we need to respond keeping that in mind," Daniel Toole, the South Asia regional director of UNICEF, said at a news conference Tuesday in Islamabad. "It's beyond what any government or any one organization can do by itself, and beyond what we can expect the Pakistani people to respond to."
On Wednesday, the government will face a direct challenge to its fundraising efforts when cricketer-turned politician Imran Khan launches his own campaign to garner donations and set up an organization to deliver aid to flood victims.
"The government has totally collapsed. There's no government here," Khan said in an interview. "The government's efforts to raise money have totally failed, because no one trusts the government."
Khan's political party hasn't shown any significant following at elections and some suspect that he's aligned with Islamic hard-liners, but he has a reputation for being "clean" and a proven record of fundraising. He described the international aid so far as "peanuts."
Much of what the international community has pledged has yet to be delivered.
According to the latest figures from Pakistan's National Disaster Management Authority, the United States heads the list of donors with $76 million in cash, plus goods and services that are said to be worth another $11 million. Great Britain is No. 2, with $50 million. China, which is popular in Pakistan, has offered $9 million.
There has been criticism of Muslim countries not giving enough, which seems to have stung some to reach into their pockets. Saudi Arabia has delivered $44 million, while Turkey is to give $11 million.
Many energy-rich Middle Eastern countries are being less than generous, however. Qatar has pledged just $400,000. Pakistan's neighbor to the west, Iran, is giving $800,000, while the United Arab Emirates has no pledge that the Pakistani authorities have recorded.
"The people of Pakistan will see that when the crisis hits, it's not the Chinese, it's not the Iranians, it's not other countries, it's not the EU. It's the US that always leads," Richard Holbrooke, the US special representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan, said last week on PBS's "The Charlie Rose Show."
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will attend a special UN General Assembly session Thursday to push for more aid. Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., is due to arrive in Pakistan later this week. to assess the situation for himself
In addition to the cash, the US has 19 helicopters ferrying relief goods and rescuing an estimated 3,500 people. Pakistan continues to fight Taliban insurgents in its northwest, though some 60,000 troops have been deployed to deal with the floods.
"We don't know what impact it's having on the insurgents," the US ambassador to Pakistan, Anne Patterson, told a news briefing Tuesday in Islamabad.

Emergence of Order in Physical, Chemical, and Biological Systems
The emergence of patterns is one of the worlds most durable mysteries. Some patterns (clouds, zebra stripes) form in space, while others (the ebb and flow of tides, cardiac rhythms) form in time. We consider here how ordered patterns emerge in systems that are driven away from thermodynamic equilibrium by, for example, a gradient in pressure, velocity, temperature, or nutrient concentration. Although there is no general theory of pattern formation, new analysis techniques enable quantitative comparisons of patterns such as the spirals in a frog egg, a fibrillating heart, and an ocean eddy. Insight into pattern formation in diverse systems with different sizes and different underlying mechanisms can be gained from a common approach, as will be illustrated with examples from physics, chemistry, and biology.

Apparently, receipts aren't just for keeping track of tax and tip anymore.
Reddit user caraficionado24 said a friend was surprised to look down at her receipt from a burger joint and find "Best Butt" and "Best Looking" itemized along with her veggie bowl -- add fried pickles -- and soft drink. The "compliments" even netted the unsuspecting customer a $0.02 discount.
Of course, it's worth mentioning that this receipt is unverified and could well be the product of a jokester with Photoshop skills. However, a commenter on Consumerist notes that he or she worked at the same burger chain and explained the cash register system did allow "fun discounts" to be added.
This isn't the first time a cashier has taken "creative license" with his or her point-of-sale system.
In January, a New York City Papa Johns customer got more than she ordered, when her receipt came back with "lady chinky eyes," a racial slur, input in the customer name field. Consumerist also reported a case of receipt shenanigans after posting a picture of a Sonic slip offering a "Free Harry Hines Hooker" with purchase of a Sonic burger.
Gawker recently put together an Internet round up of the weirdest comments ever to find their ways onto fast food orders. The results are both hilarious and somewhat disturbing.

Progressive supranuclear palsy, also known as PSP, is a disorder of the brain that gets worse over time (progressive neurodegenerative disorder). Many progressive supranuclear palsy symptoms are similar to Parkinson's disease. These include rigidity, slowness of movement, cognitive (thinking) problems, difficulty speaking, and difficulty swallowing. While people with Parkinson's disease can have an unsteady gait…

I was diagnosed with MS back in 2002. Since then I had been slowly declining & had gone through so many medications for this disease to help slow it down but I did not have the good luck that others have had in controlling it. I needed to try something new that I had heard good things about. I was able to cross paths with another fellow that also had MS that had gone to Stemedix & had good results. I went forward with it & I cannot say anything negative about this whole stem cell experience at Stemedix. I recently got treatment from there. The entire staff was caring , knowledgeable & professional. Dr Khan was great, as were Jackie, Bonnie & Fred. The next day after treatment I already noticed a difference for the better. I would definitely recommended Stemedix to anyone considering a stem cell treatment.read more

The doctor and assistance at his office was wonderful and they explained everything and made it very comfortable in every way possible. My wife has seen improvement in her energy levels and we are praying to see more improvement the next few months as we continue on this journey.

Total process was about 6 months from first call to procedure date due to finalize all of my tests .well worth the money spent.read more

Stemedix is a great company. I was very fortunate to find them during my research about treating my Multiple Sclerosis with stem cells. The doctors are outstanding and very knowledgeable about the diseases and treatments. The patient coordinators are available to you every step of the way. Stemedix arranges everything to make sure the patient is able to focus solely on their treatment and they follow up with the patient following the procedure.read more

I was diagnosed with MS in 2009. My health spiralled from being a very active 5 day a week gym girl who hiked and jogged nature trails to not being able to walk by 2012. The nerve pain and spasticity was unbearable at times. Once independent, I became a hermit. My body rejected the MS medications and I began to research possibilities for treatment. I decided on stem cells because nothing foreign was being introduced into the body. No surgery or chemo was being used. The biggest gamble was $ if the treatment did not produce desired results. Taking no action could cost me my life. It was pretty much a no brainer for me. I had to make the important decision of which clinic I would go to for treatment. I contacted a Pacific based company and was instantly turned off by the 'call centre' environment and conversation background noise. I was straining to hear what was being said and frustrated having to repeat my emotional story due to a chaotic audience. Then I contacted Stemedix and received a call back from their client Care Coordinator Sarah. First I noted there was no background noise and that the conversation was private. She focused on what I was saying and asked her own questions. When I inquired about any information, Sarah was prompt in her response by phone or email. Due to my problem with mobility it was a relief to have help attaining the required medical record needed. The Care Coordinator was able to act on my behalf with a signed consent form. The communication flowed at an effective pace and soon my treatment was scheduled. Stemedix arranged for my accommodations and travel to and from the hotel, clinic and airport. The clinic staff and doctors were very professional and friendly which offers comfort during a trying time. The treatment itself was made easier due to the care and consideration given by attending doctors and staff. There was no down time or recovery period needed so all in all it was an awesome experience. I am in the repair healing stage following my stem cell treatment and the Care Coordinator keeps in contact on a regular basis. I would definitely recommend Stemedix to anyone considering stem cell therapy. Just make the call and I am certain you will receive the communication and comfort you need when having to make such an important decision. God bless!read more

I have been dealing with chronic Lyme disease since 1998. I tried all kinds of treatments from antibiotics, I.V. and naturopath etc... My wonderful Dr talked to me about stem cells treatment when I started to look it to it I couldn't afford it so my 2 beautiful daughters started a go fund me page by the grace of God we were able to raise all the funds . I Thank all my family and friends for their generosity and support with out them I wouldn't be able to do it. A huge Thank you to my coordinator Jackie and office staff that there were there to answer all my questions and concern about the procedure. Treating physicians and all his staff were great they all put my husband and I at ease by explaining in words that we could understand. I made a lots of research about stem cells in different states and country. After all I decided to do Stemedix because there were very honest and no pressure at all . So if you ever decide you need the stem cells I would recommend Stemedix. Thank you so much to all that was part of my journey. God bless you. Carole.read more

The staff and doctor was helpful and really considerate with my two idiot friends and I. My only issue is with the final results didn't really work for me personally. I have spoken with other clients that have had the same treatment as I did and it worked great for them. I fully believe that my problem is just with my body, not complying with the treatment. The staff is still in constant contact and are genuinely concerned with the treatment not working for me. I appreciate everything that they have done for me and I more than likely will be back for a different stem cell treatment that might work for my condition.read more

I'm thinking of taking an RV across Canada. However, having never used one before, I'm struggling to figure out how much fuel it might use.
I'm hoping there's a calculator for a Compact or Standard RV (from Cruise Canada) in terms of fuel consumption, that I can then use to work out the potential cost, roughly.
Does anyone know of such a method, website or have experience in fuel consumption with these vehicles?

I'm not an English native speaker. All the documents I write are in Spanish. To handle this I use some packages like
babel and
babelbib for bibliographies. However, this can cause some troubles of incompatibility with for example TikZ,
hyperref, etc.
It's interesting that if we change the
spanish option, when we call the
babel package, by any other language, we get a better support. For example this thread is about some error messages that appear when we use
[spanish]{babel} +
The only known solution (provided in the same page) is to comment the line 171 in the
babelbib.sty package file. My problem is that many documents I write must be compiled by other people, and, unfortunately, people that can't understand what they must do in order to fix the problem with the
babelbib package. And I don't want to go to everybody's house to fix that. So, I'm wondering if there is some code that I can put in all my documents to comment line 171 of
babelbib.sty at every compilation. If no, what can I do?

Dracula Untold is told by a beautiful dark direction of the newbie Gary Shore, Stoker's tale has found a perfect variant.
Luke is ravishing in the drac shoes and the tale of Dracula Untold is brilliantly scripted. There are subtle glimpses that Shore uses like depicting rad scenes of war through the dead eyes of a Turk that makes things different. Although the action bit isn't that great and put out quickly, the story still keeps you rooted. Some clichéd pieces pop up here and there, but its our own favourite fictional protag Drac, what do you expect? The score is apt. It makes you feel the vampire wrath. Screenplay is good.
When we contain the awesomeness of Luke's gripping facial gravity, make it dark, combine it with some twists and turns of the legendary Bram Stoker's tale, add some Cooper to it, throw in some Charles Dance grim screenplay voice then lo! we get a good decent movie that has the potential to run a fine franchise on its own.
We have forever rooted for a better depiction of the bad-ass Dracula tale, haven't we? Well, Dracula Untold might not be the right justice we expected for our beloved anti-hero, but it isn't quite bad either. Gary Shore might have ignited a franchise spark, that could be picked up by a much better director and an imminent promising story as well.
But everything aside, If we really want the right adjudication and the perfect hammer to drop, we want it to be picked up by some brilliant directors like Cameron, Nolan or Scorsese to give it the perfect verdict.

The assessment center is not a place as its name seems to suggest, nor is it a single process or method. Rather, an assessment center employs multiple assessment methods and exercises to evaluate a wide range of competencies used to make a variety of employment decisions (e.g., employee selection, career development, promotion). Assessment centers can be used to assess small groups of people at relatively the same time. Many assessment center exercises resemble work sample tests designed to simulate the actual challenges found on the job.
Assessment center exercises can be used to measure many different types of job related competencies, including interpersonal skills, oral and written communication, planning and evaluating, and reasoning and problem solving abilities. A frequently used assessment center exercise is the in-basket test. A typical in-basket test is designed to simulate administrative tasks. During this exercise, applicants are asked to play the role of a person new to the job and are instructed to read and react to a pile of memos, messages, reports, and articles.
Some assessment center exercises can be used to evaluate groups and individual behaviors in group situations. For example, in a leaderless group discussion, a group of applicants is tasked with solving a problem or a series of problems in a limited amount of time. Other assessment center exercises include, but are not limited to, job knowledge tests, personality tests, and structured interviews. Applicant performance is usually observed and evaluated by multiple assessors (i.e., raters). When used for internal promotion purposes, assessment centers are frequently designed to reflect values and practices specific to an organization, but when used to assess external applicants, assessment centers should be designed to focus on the job and level of the job (e.g., manager) rather than practices unique to the organization. While assessment centers can be designed for various types of jobs, they are particularly effective for assessing higher-level managerial and leadership competencies. Assessment centers require extensive experience to develop, considerable logistical planning to set up, and numerous personnel to administer. Highly trained assessors are needed to observe and evaluate applicant performance on the group and individual exercises.

Vox Guitar Amps are some of the most traditional in rock music, they deliver what many still think of as the most classic "British" guitar tone. Though better known for its beautiful cleans, Vox valve amps also sound great when pushed into distortion. Vox also makes some of the best solid-state and modeling amps right now - making the brand one of the top choices for professional and beginner guitarists alike.
The sound of so much early rock and pop was defined by the sweet chime of Vox guitar amps: they sounded pretty great when people started cranking them up too. For many guitarists there is no finer amp than an AC30 for both clean and crunchy tones. From Beatles and Queen to many new indie bands, the Vox sound is a defining feature in their music.
Having continued to play with valves Vox have also created the Night Train high gain amps and the compact little AC4.
This pedigree has also driven Vox's amp modelling technology, perfectly capturing the sound of valves in Valvetronix and VX series combos. Eminently affordable and lightweight enough for practice and if you need something even more compact. Much of the same technology drives their Tonelab multi effects and amp modelling pedals. Another option for home practice are the Pathfinder amps, sweet and warm sounding solid state combos.
When looking for a Vox UK supplier with dedicated in-store showrooms, expert staff advice and massive stock availability, look no further than PMT Online. The House of Rock!

Bells to chime worldwide to signal end of Pope Benedict XVI's 8-year pontificate
MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) � The bishop of New Hampshire's Roman Catholic diocese will celebrate a special mass and have church bells toll across the state for eight minutes to honor Pope Benedict XVI for his service to the church.
The 85-year-old pope ends his pontificate at 2 p.m. Eastern Standard Time after eight years.
New Hampshire Bishop Peter Libasci (lih-BAH-she) will celebrate a mass to honor the pope at St. Joseph Cathedral Chapel in Manchester at 12:10. He is asking that churches throughout the diocese toll their bells for eight minutes, ending at 2 p.m., in honor of the first pope to resign in 600 years. The bells will join others that will chime throughout the United States and Europe.
Bishop Libasci says all masses celebrated before 2 p.m. be dedicated to the pope.

The quilt I'm entering is my recent mini for the FLiQS swap! It was kind of a bold change for me from what I usually make, but I just love how it turned out.
I used Denise Schmidt's Chicopee fabric and Essex linen. I designed the pattern in an uneven chevron. Since it was so linear I decided to use some curves in the quilting. I have never tried anything in FMQ except a stipple or straight stitch, so I went for it. I made swirls! The result was pretty cool and very dense.
For the tag on the back I appliqued a little arrow with all of the swap information.
I hope you like my little quilt and please remember to vote!

New High-Power Line Array System for Theatre, Conference & Live Music
At the ISE show in Amsterdam, the world takes its first look at the new GEO M10 line array, a high-output sound reinforcement system for long-throw theatre and live music applications. With characteristic innovation and ingenuity, this exciting contemporary design uses a single 10 driver to deliver an unprecedented ratio of LF response to cabinet size for this class of mid-size line array.
The GEO M10 system is a true power package, twice as more powerful as its sister GEO M6 compact line array, launched 2 years ago. While the M10 design aesthetic is comparable to the elegant new-generation silhouette of the M6, the larger M10 cabinet draws on structural and acoustic innovations first released in NEXOs ground-breaking STM Series modular line array, in particular the STM M28.
So, whats in this injection-moulded reticulate urethane co-polymer enclosure? The M10 takes its name from the single 10 neodymium LF driver, paired with a 1.4 HF titanium diaphragm HF driver. With a footprint of 531(W) x 288(H) x 355(D) mm, this 2-way passive module will deliver a frequency response of 59Hz-20kHz with nominal peak SPL of 131dB.
There are two versions of the M10 cabinet, offering 12.5° and 25° of vertical dispersion. Both have 80°/120° horizontal dispersion which can be configured manually, without tools, by removing the magnetic grille and adjusting NEXOs innovative flange fixing system.
The choice of a single 10 design does not come out of the blue. NEXOs first line array GEO S8, a single 8 2-way cabinet has proved to be one of the most successful in the market. And when it comes to 10 drivers, NEXO is the market leader with its ubiquitous PS10 Series launched in 1993, enhanced in 2009, it is one of the best-selling loudspeaker models in professional sound.
There are several advantages to the use of a single 10 driver, instead of the more commonly found double-6 designs. The principle benefit is a much lower frequency response from a 2-way cabinet. The box keeps a narrow profile, and its height provides for tighter inter-cabinet angles.
As shown by the hugely popular GEO S8 compact line array, the single-driver design offers better vertical control. NEXOs proprietary Directivity/Phase Device (DPD) extends upper line source coupling frequency limits between the adjacent 10 drivers, so the adjacent loudspeakers couple as coherently as if there were twice as many 6 drivers, mounted at half the physical distance.
Cabinet size has been a critical consideration for NEXOs R&D engineers, guiding their choice of components and enclosure materials, down to the lightweight neodymium driver. In all, the M10 weighs just 21kg, and its impressively compact dimensions mean minimal visual impact and improved sightlines, an important consideration for its target market of theatres, auditoria and conferencing venues.
The GEO M10 is partnered by a dedicated subbass cabinet, the MSub15. Weighing 36kg, the new sub is presented in a robust touring package with steel grille, or in an elegant installation version with cloth grille. It has large composite bumpers on each corner, and side handles. It flies with the M10 in an aesthetically pleasing and low profile array, operable in omni or cardioid mode, thanks to front and back connection plates. The MSub15s are the same width as the M10 cabinets, but taller two subs are equivalent in height to three M10s.
M10 can be flown or ground-stacked, with or without the MSub15. Up to 12x M10 or 8x MSub15 modules can be combined in a single flown column, or, for instance, 3x MSub15s can be arrayed above 9x M10 cabinets, using one of two dedicated bumper accessories. Alternatively, the M10 elements can be ground-stacked on top of the MSub15s, with between -12° to +12° of tilt.
The rigging system for the GEO M10 evolves another step from the original designs in the GEO M6 and the STM Series. The internal 3-point rigging system now features automatic locking and no loose parts. Two different bumper options are available, both with optional expansion bar, as well as an extension accessory for ground-stacking.
Highly cost-effective amplification is via NEXOs NXAMP4x4 TDcontroller; with up to four M10 cabinets per channel, and up to three subs per channel, the system can be controlled over a network using a Dante, Ethersound or AES/EBU digital expansion card.
Available in black and white, touring and installation cabinet versions as standard, M10 can also be ordered in the full range of RAL colour options. It has full TUV certification.

Retired Texas Rep. Ron Paul is anything but retired. The three-time presidential candidate is speaking to college students across America and is working on his tenth book, this one taking on the American education establishment.
Paul's "New School Manifesto" is set to release on September 17. It is being billed as a focused guide to fixing the education system in America. It will delve into the history of the education system and address what has gone wrong.
Paul will be addressing education from a libertarian standpoint, something the Amazon.com book description says Paul's followers have been waiting for.
"New School Manifesto" will strongly support homeschooling, free market principles and individual freedoms.
Throughout his political career Paul has advocated an end to the federal role in education. Bucking fellow Texan George W. Bush, he opposed Bush's signature "No Child Left Behind" law — and tried to repeal it for a decade. He has long opposed federal student loans and the Department of Education. Speaking to a group of home schooling advocates in 2011, Paul called federal education efforts a "propaganda machine" indoctrinating children.
The book description challenges Americans to read the book, even if you disagree with Paul's political ideologies.
"Ron Paul's beliefs are always controversial, and even if you disagree with his principles, his arguments will make you think," his publisher declares. "Ron Paul's ideas and his urgent appeal to all citizens and officials will tell us what we need to do fix America's education system for future generations."

This 34 day overland tour journeys from Zanzibar to Nairobi through Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda
Border Information: If joining at Zanzibar, you will most likely enter Tanzania from Zanzibar Abeid Amani Karume International Airport (IATA code: ZNZ).
There will be an informal meet-and-greet and orientation of Stone Town with our local Zanzibar guide at 6:00pm - please meet at the reception of the joining hotel at this time if you wish to take part in this orientation. Please note that you will not usually meet your regular crew tonight, as they will be arriving in Dar es Salaam this evening and will travel to Zanzibar with members of their previous group tomorrow.
Please note that many of the options listed below will only be possible for those with extra time in Zanzibar before the start of your trip with us - please contact the Sales team if you would like to book pre-tour accommodation with us to have extra time exploring Zanzibar.
In Stone Town we will stay in a good local hotel.
Please note that the first 4 days of this trip overlap with our "YDF - Victoria Falls to Zanzibar" trip, so some of the group that come to Zanzibar will leave before we take the ferry to Dar es Salaam. This is because Zanzibar is part of both trips, so it means customers going all the way through do not follow our Zanzibar itinerary twice!
Today will be a free day to explore Stone Town, the atmospheric old town on the exotic and beautiful island of Zanzibar!
Your crew will arrive on Zanzibar this afternoon, and there will be an important meeting at 6:00pm at the joining hotel - there will then be the option going for sunset drinks at Africa House and heading out to the night markets for a local dinner.
On our second day on Zanzibar we will join our local guide for a very interesting and informative tour around the sights of Stone Town and learn about the history of the island. We will then head away from town and take in a tour of a spice plantation, enjoy a local lunch with our guide, then head to Nungwi beach at the very north of the island. Nungwi is the Indian Ocean at its best - bright white sand, sparkling blue sea outstanding seafood and a fantastic chilled atmosphere.
On our third day on Zanzibar, we will have free time to enjoy Nungwi beach and relax, or to try snorkeling, diving, or other beach activities, or maybe go further afield looking for Red Colobus monkeys in the Jozani Forest.
In Nungwi we will spend both nights in a good hotel right on the shore of the ocean.
Today we will return to Stone Town and then take a ferry from Zanzibar to Dar es Salaam, before travelling on the local commuter barge from the city centre to the suburb of Kigamboni. The ferry will take about 2 hours and 30 minutes. The rest of the afternoon will be free to relax at the campsite.
In Dar es Salaam we stay at a beautiful and well-equipped beach camp on the southern side of the bay across from the city.
Today we join our overland truck and set off early to beat the morning trafiic in Dar es Salaam. We have a full day's drive to Lushoto, where we have a nightstop camping in the grounds of a beautiful colonial hotel at the base of Mount Kilimanjaro.
In Lushoto we will camp in the grounds of a hotel.
Estimated Drive Time - 7-8 hours (please note that all drive times given here are the approximate number of hours that the truck will be in motion only, and does not include any time taken for coffee or lunch stops, border crossings, photo stops, activities en route, comfort breaks, shopping stops, toilet stops, etc. The times given are approximate estimates only and whilst given with the best of intentions, the drive times are heavily dependent on traffic, road conditions, weather, police roadblocks, and many other factors - flexibility is essential on any overland trip!).
After breakfast we head west to the town of Arusha, where we will stop for food shopping in preparation for our excursion to the Serengeti National Park. On the drive to Arusha we will go past the whole length of Mount Kilimanjaro where we'll hope for clear skies and fantastic views from the road.
We will then head to our campsite on the outskirts of Arusha. On arrival we should have time to go on an optional walk to a nearby Maasai village, or visit a reptile house and snake-bite clinic that are run by the campsite. We will also prepare and re-pack for the Serengeti excursion starting the following day.
In Arusha we will stay in a well equipped campsite.
Estimated Drive Time - 6-7 hours.
Today we will be met by our fleet of 6-person 4x4 jeeps - we will load the jeeps with our camping and personal gear, and then head out for our 4-day excursion to the Tarangire National Park, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, leaving our truck behind.
We will also be leaving our large bags behind (where they will be stored in a secure location), and advise you to bring along a smaller daypack for your personal gear for this trip that will need to be packed soon after the group meeting before we set off. You should pack clothing for 4 days (including a warm jumper or fleece and long trousers), a waterproof jacket, toiletries (including sun screen and insect repellent), your camera and charger, a small towel, a head torch, a water bottle, books and personal snacks, etc.
We will have a safety talk with our safari guides and then on to a day drive within Tarangire National Park followed by a treetop walkway in the afternoon. You should have many oportunities for photographs so remember your cameras!
Once we make it into our camp site we will have our evening meal before the opportunity for a night game drive to Lake Manyara.
This morning we will make our way down into the plains of the Serengeti. We will take an evening game drive around the savanna before heading to our campsite - the area is one of the world's premier spots for wildlife viewing and we hope to able to find elephants, lions, leopards, giraffe and other big game during our time here!
Tonight we will stay at a campsite within the Serengeti National Park. The camp where we stay is very basic (with showers and flush toilets, but no other facilities) but is located right in the middle of the plains, surrounded by animals and their nocturnal noises! Your leader will outline the basic safety rules to be followed when camping in an unfenced location where wild animals are present.
The next morning we will get up very early and we set off in our jeeps for an early morning game drive in the heart of the Serengeti plains. The early morning is the best time of day for wildlife viewing, as many of the animals are at their most active while it is still cool.
There is an option this morning to take a hot air balloon flight over the Serengeti instead of the game drive - demand is high for this activity, so this must be pre-booked at the time that you booked your trip with us.
We will return to our campsite for lunch, and then aim to exit the Serengeti early afternoon. We will head back through the conservation area to our next campsite, on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater, where we will arrive in the early evening.
Again, the campsite tonight is very basic and unfenced. It can often be quite cold on the crater rim so it is recommended that you take some warm clothes for this night.
This morning we will have another early start to descend into the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater for a morning game drive. Again, the Ngorongoro Crater is an outstanding area for wildlife spotting, often described as a 'natural wildlife enclosure'. This is the best chance on the excursion to spot black rhinos as well as a myriad of other big game.
We will spend as long as our entry tickets allow in the Ngorongoro Crater before departing, which will usually give us about 3-4 hours of game driving. We will then be dropped off at our campsite back in Arusha, where we are re-united with our truck.
We will have a well-deserved free afternoon to relax at our excellent campsite or to do some of the optional activites on offer here.
Border Information: Exit Tanzania at Namanga, enter Kenya at Namanga.
Today we will head to Amboseli National Park. Here you can experience the iconic view of the African plain with Mount Kilimanjaro standing majestically in the background. We will drive through the park in our truck keeping a keen eye out for all of the animals we will pass.
Estimated Drive Time - 4-5 hours.
Welcome to Nairobi, the final stop on our trip!
You will have time to explore Nairobi fully - possible activities include visiting the Karen Blixen Museum, the National Museum and the Langata Giraffe Centre. Your tour leader will let you know some of our reccommendations however you are more than welcome to move through the city independently for the day!
Border Information: If joining the trip in Nairobi, you will most likely enter Kenya at Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (IATA code: NBO).
Welcome to Kenya! There will be a group meeting at the joining hotel at 6:00pm. Please do not be alarmed if there is no welcome note, as this will often be a travelling day for the crew who will be joining you.
Please note that many of the options listed below will only be possible for those with extra time in Nairobi before the start of your trip with us - please contact the Sales team if you would like to book pre-tour accommodation with us to have extra time exploring Nairobi.
This morning we will drive on to Kericho, throughout this drive you will have sights of the world famous tea plantations in the area.
In Kericho we will stay at a well equipped campsite.
Estimated Drive Time - 5-6 hours.
Border Information: Exit Kenya at Busia, enter Uganda at Busia.
Today we have a full day's drive across the border into Uganda as we travel to Jinja, the adventure capital of East Africa!
Estimated Drive Time - 9-10 hours.
On the following day we will have a free day to get involved in the many optional adventure activities available here, such as white water rafting, bungee jumping and boat trips on the White Nile!
In Jinja we will stay at a well equipped campsite.
Today we continue our journey and head north to the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary close to the town of Nakitoma. Here we will have the chance to track rhinos on foot with a local ranger!
In Nakitoma we will stay in a well equipped campsite within the Rhino Sanctuary.
Estimated Drive Time - 6-7 hours.
Today we continue to Kaniyo Pabidi in the Budongo Forest, in the southern part of the Murchison Falls National Park. Here we will head out for our included chimpanzee tracking walk in the afternoon!
Please note that for conservation reasons the maximum group size to track the chimpanzees is 12 people, so if we have a large group we will split in half, one half going on the walk this afternoon and the other half going tomorrow morning.
In Kaniyo Pabidi we will stay in basic dorm rooms in a small lodge in the Budongo Forest.
Estimated Drive Time - 2-3 hours.
If we had to split the group for chimpanzee tracking, the other half of the group will head out for the walk this morning. When we are ready to continue, we will drive to the central region of Murchison Falls National Park to reach our campsite.
Estimated Drive Time - 2-3 hours (to the campsite).
On the next day, we will head out early in the truck for a included morning of game driving around the northern area of the National Park - we will take a local vehicle barge to get over the Nile and pick up a ranger to show us around in search of wildlife!
We will return to our campsite for lunch, and then embark on an included launch cruise on the Nile to spot wildlife from the water and to see the spectacularly-powerful Murchison Falls.
In Murchison Falls National Park we will stay in a well equipped campsite at Paraa on the southern banks of the River Nile in the heart of the park.
Please note that the roads leading into and around Murchison Falls are very poor and can be hazardous in wet conditions. If there has been heavy rain recently, it may not be possible to go into the National Park beyond Kaniyo Pabidi - this is firstly for safety reasons on the drive in, and secondly due to the risk of extreme bogging that could cause us to miss the gorilla treks further along in our trip. We will always endaevour to reach the National Park as per the itinerary; but when this is occasionally not possible, please respect the tour leader's decision in this matter. On these occasions we will be able to utilise this time with spending longer in Lake Bunyonyi.
This morning we will make our way out of the national park and head South to Mpanga Forest via Kampala. This is a chance to experience a new environment as we camp in the forest near traditional communities. We will hopefully be able to visit the Mpambire drum making village to experience their ancient traditions and culture.
Estimated Drive Time - 9-10 hours.
This morning we travel to the Queen Elizabeth National Park, beautifully set between the Great Rift Valley lakes of Lake Edward and Lake George, undertaking a game drive on our way to the campsite.
After lunch we will take an included boat cruise along the Kazinga Channel, well-known for pelicans, eagles and other wonderful birdlife as well as its healthy population of hippos. During our time in the park we also hope to see elephants, lions, leopards, buffaloes, Ugandan kobs and waterbucks.
The next morning we are up early to go on a full day game drive making our way into the depths of the park. We will experience areas of the National Park that are impossible to reach without a full days excursion!
In Queen Elizabeth National Park we will camp at a basic campsite with drop toilets inside the park. Your leader will explain the basic safety aspects of camping in an unfenced area amongst the wildlife upon arrival.
Estimated Drive Time - 8-10 hours.
Here we will go on what is undoubtedly the highlight of the trip - trekking to see the Mountain Gorillas in their natural forest habitat.
This region is one of the last remaining sanctuaries for the mountain gorilla. No more than 8 people per day can visit any one habituated family, and visits are strictly controlled to minimise the possibility of disturbance or transmission of disease to the animals.
Tracking gorillas in the dense forest can sometimes be wet, muddy and uncomfortable. The terrain is by no means easy either, so it can be pretty strenuous and often humid; however, the sheer thrill of coming across a habituated group of gorillas, dominated by a great male silverback, more than outweighs any difficulty. You need to be prepared and fit enough to walk at least 4 hours - uphill and downhill. We can usually get very close to the mountain gorillas, who are placid and gentle, and watching their movements is like seeing a mirror image of yourself! Once you find them, you will stay with the gorillas for one unforgettable hour!
When visiting the gorillas you will be assigned a trekking group and time on your permit. The group may be split up into different trekking groups during the day.
In Bwindi we will stay in a campsite that occasinally has some very special visitors, the incredible mountain gorillas!
Please note that the gorilla permits are paid for in full by the trip kitty - however, we have to purchase the permits in advance on the customers' behalf, so a higher deposit is charged on the trip price to protect us from losing this money in the event of cancellation - please see the notes at the end for further detail.
This morning we will make our way into the stunning Lake Mburo National Park. This drive will take us across the equator - a prime moment for some photos!
In the afternoon we may have time for a walking safari or even a boat trip on Lake Mburo.
We will stay in an increbile campsite close to the lake where you may be lucky enough to see hippos leaving the water in the evening.
Estimated Drive Time - 8-9 hours.
Border Information: Exit Uganda at Malaba, enter Kenya at Malaba.
Over the next 2 days we will travel back to the east through Jinja to Nakuru.
We will most likely split the drive with a nightstop in Jinja, but if the road conditions improve on a different road then we may go via the western town of Fort Portal instead. Both Jinja and Fort Portal have decent campsites to stay in.
Either way, we will reach Nakuru by the second evening and enjoy a night relaxing at a campsite that we are staying in for 2 nights.
This is our base for tomorrow's excursion into Nakuru National Park. If we make good time on the drive we may have the opportunity to take a walk around the working dairy farm where our campsite is, and to visit a local women's knitting collective.
Estimated Drive Times - 7-9 hours each day.
This morning we head into Nakuru National Park for an included half-day game drive in local safari trucks. Nakuru is a beautiful park with a large lake and many forested areas - it is teeming with wildlife and there is an excellent chance to see both black and white rhinos.
In the afternoon we will have the opportunity to take a walk around the working dairy farm where our campsite is, and to visit a local women's knitting collective.
In Nakuru we will stay at a beautiful and well equipped campsite located on a dairy farm on the outskirts of town.
Today we will be met by our 6-person 4x4 jeeps that will take us on our 2-night excursion to the Maasai Mara. We will load the jeeps with our personal gear (but we will not need our camping equipment) and then head off to Maasai Mara, leaving our truck behind.
We will also be leaving our large bags behind (where they will be stored in a secure location in Nairobi), and advise you to bring along a smaller daypack for your personal gear for this trip that will need to be packed soon after the group meeting before we set off. You should pack clothing for 3 days (including a warm jumper or fleece and long trousers), a waterproof jacket, toiletries (including sun screen and insect repellent), your camera and charger, a small towel, a head torch, a water bottle, books and personal snacks, etc.
On arrival, we will have the chance for a short evening game drive in the Maasai Mara National Park before heading to our campsite. The Maasai Mara is an incredibly scenic area and is one of the world's greatest places for wildlife spotting which is absolutely teeming with giraffe, buffalo, zebra, elephants, lions, cheetah, leopards, and other big game! On both nights at the Maasai Mara, we will stay in a basic campground on the outskirts of the National Park. The campsite has set-tents and bedding, but is self-catered (we will use our kitchen equipment brought from the truck).
The following day we will go out for the full day game driving in the National Park before returning to our campsite for a second night. There is also the opportunity for a sunset balloon flight over the savannah - demand for this activity is very high so you must reserve this at the time of booking your trip to avoid disappointment. Tonight we will stay at the same campsite on the outskirts of the Maasai Mara.
Today we will have a final game drive in the Maasai Mara in the early morning, before heading back to Nairobi and our campsite in Karen, arriving at about 4:00pm or 5:00pm. This is where we will meet our overland truck and start using the truck's camping equipment. In Nairobi we will stay in a well equipped campsite in the suburb of Karen on the outskirts of the city.
Estimated Drive Time - 5-6 hours.
Border Information: if you are leaving the trip in Nairobi, you will most likely exit Kenya at Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (IATA code: NBO).
Today is this is the final day of this section - if you are leaving here (or continuing northbound with us to Ethiopia) you will have a free day in Nairobi. If you are continuing your trip with us southbound towards Tanzania then there will a new group meeting at 10:00am for the next section of your journey, before heading away from Nairobi - your leader will give you detailed instructions about this.
Today is the end day for passengers finishing their trip in Nairobi. Please note there is no accommodation included on the trip tonight - please contact the Sales Team if you are interested in booking extra nights of accommodation in order to fully explore and take part in some of the optional activities listed below.
