Mahali Mzuri, a Virgin Limited Edition property Virgin chief Richard Branson is building a property on the Motorogi Conservancy in the Masai Mara. The property, Mahali Mzuri, part of the Virgin Limited Edition portfolio, is slated to open next year as 12 tented suites. It has 20 rooms situated along the Mbagathi River. The idea is the brainchild of Anthony and Emma Childs, created as an alternative to exhausting transfers through Nairobi to get to game destinations around the country. They created a property designed to serve as a respite at the start or end of a trip to Kenya. Solio Lodge A property in the Safari Collection portfolio, the Solio Lodge opened in August 2010 as six luxury cottages in the valley between Mount Kenya and the Aberdare Mountains. The lodge is located on the Solio Reserve, which is part of a private ranch. Each cottage has an outdoor deck, indoor lounge area, fireplace and bathrooms with double sinks, bath and shower.

It's been a long and bumpy road for Kenya since deadly political clashes in 2008, followed by the global economic downturn, brought its tourism industry to a near standstill. But despite ongoing challenges, this East African nation is finally starting to see signs of a rebound, in part because the hit its tourism industry took forced Kenya to step up its game. "In the '90s, you didn't have to be good, you just had to be there," said Mark Wheeler, managing director for Abercrombie Kent in Kenya. It was a decade, he recalled, when South Africa was still battling apartheid, Tanzania's properties were not well developed and Zambia and Botswana hadn't come into their own as mainstream tourism destinations, "so Kenya was the only option." But the new century brought sweeping change to the continent. "South Africa took off, Tanzania has got better properties and Zambia and Botswana have come onto the scene," Wheeler said. With increasing pressure and competition from the rest of the continent, exacerbated by the crippling 2008 crisis, Kenya has been forced to reinvent itself as a destination. No longer are canned safaris cutting it. (View a slideshow from Kenneth Kiesnoski's safari trip in April here.) Ashish Sanghrajka, president of Big Five Tours Expeditions, recalled that "in 2008, tourism had been decimated. What it forced the country to do was to take a look at the long term problem it's had, which is an overcrowding of tourists. We've moved away from those typical hotel chains in the reserves to private camps on private land owned by the Masai. You have direct revenue shares with the tribes. There's nowhere near the type of crowding that occurs in the national parks. The value proposition becomes much stronger in these conservancies. There's an authenticity." Kenya's public relations challenges, however, are not likely to be fixed anytime soon. State Department updated its Nov. 4 travel warning for Kenya due to "heightened threats from terrorism and the high rate of violent crime in some areas." Operators in Kenya say the violence has been concentrated on its border with Somalia, where the Kenyan military has been clashing with rebels from the Islamic militant group al Shabab. But on March 10, assailants threw four grenades at a bus station in Nairobi, killing nine and injuring more than 50. Kenyan officials blamed al Shabab for the attack. There have also been attacks reported in and around the coastal city of Mombasa. Violent crimes can "occur at any time and in any location, most particularly in Nairobi," the State Department warned. So far at least, Africa operators report that the most recent warning has not affected bookings. "I'm not saying [the State Department warnings] are wrong, but in some ways they've lost their credibility," said Dave Herbert, CEO of Great Safaris. "Travelers seem to be more resilient." Claudia Gordon of Naples, Fla. based Naples Luxury Travel Advisors said she will be sending a couple to Kenya on their honeymoon in the next few months, and while they're somewhat concerned about the warning, they're not considering canceling their trip. Operators report that travelers to Kenya have not called with concerns about safety or security, and they think that's largely due to the fact that the incidents appear to be far from the game reserves. Nike Roshe Run Sand Color Alarm Red,I'm sure all ladies shoes are manufactured in a similar fashion. welding: The original heel for this shoe had a wide flange at the heel which helped support the width and weight of the heel and foot. Remember the heel covering I asked you to set aside in Step 2? We're going to use them here. I'm sure all ladies shoes are manufactured in a similar fashion. Your shoes may be slightly different in construction and may require a different method than the ones shown here for modification. I started by removing the small plastic heel cap with pliers, then bisected the decorative leather sole at the heel and removed the sole portion that was glued to the heel. Making sure not to damage the heel veneer, the white heel covering was peeled back and removed. Set aside this scrap for later as we'll be using it in Step 6 to cover the underside of the shoe where the old heel used to be. The heel of these shoes were held on with a large industrial cleat that mechanically fastened the heel to the sole and adhesive. The cleat was attached from the top of the shoe under the insole through the sole and embedded deep in the plastic heel. It was no small undertaking removing this cleat. I worked for about 20 minutes getting these heels off. Once removed the old plastic heels can be discarded. This shoe has a steel shank under the insole for support, my shoe had the shank riveted to the insole, so the entire insole was removed from the shoe. The underside of the shank was abraded at the heel with a rotary tool, this will clear away any debris and prepare the surface for accepting a weld. The heel cleat opening left a jagged edge which needed to be fixed. I easily cut away excess shoe around the cleat opening and then reinserted the shank insole back into the shoe to approximated where I was going to weld my new steel heel spike, the new heel location was marked on the steel shank with indelible marker.
You Will Have a Good Time While Buying Items Nike Roshe Run Sand Color Alarm Red,Men Nike Free 4.0 Game Royal Blue Electric Green Pure Platinum SOCHI David Wise already knows the question he'll face when he returns home, and he can deliver it in a perfect toddler voice. The freeskier's 2 year old daughter Nayeli will likely ask of his Olympic medal what she did of his most recent X Games gold, "Oooh, Daddy, new necklace. Is that for me?" And even though Wise's gold medal that he won here in his sport's Olympic debut in the halfpipe would likely tip his daughter over, he'd say, yes, of course, it always was for you. "I think that she's gonna be pretty excited and want to wear it all the time," he says as he headed to the medals plaza on Wednesday night to receive it. That the young father puts his focus on family before skiing makes him a unique spokesman for his sport. It was his daughter half a world away who was in his thoughts throughout the chaotic day. Wise allowed USA TODAY Sports to accompany him in the immediate aftermath of his gold medal win. The latest star of these Games, Wise, 23, went through the wringer that every medalist goes through, and one that is especially demanding for those who win gold. His obligations began immediately after his first run score of 92 led him to victory on a snowy, slushy night at Rosa Khutor Extreme Park. Olympic Committee, no more than 15 minutes to eat a meal and no shortage of repeat questions. During the 50 minute drive, Wise checks his phone to see about 100 text messages. He reflects on a podium shared with Canada's Mike Riddle and France's Kevin Rolland, who took silver and bronze, respectively. If it couldn't be another American on the podium, he's glad it was those two, guys like him who are focused on their skiing and not tied up in the status of being a pro athlete. That has helped him become one of the best halfpipe skiers in the world, with the past three X Games gold medals to his name. By the time he reaches the International Broadcast Center, the realization of all that happened still had not sunk in. He expects that will come when he's interviewed by Bob Costas for a taped piece for the NBC broadcast. In 90 minutes during the pre dawn hours, Wise is interviewed by NBC radio and for the company's website, takes part in a social media session and sits down with Costas. "I nailed that one," he says, on Wednesday morning. With just three hours sleep, the Reno native starts his day with a breakfast put on by his sponsor Visa. Afterward, a surprise proves to be the highlight of the day. In a commercial congratulating Wise, Morgan Freeman narrates the story of Wise's life, something the skier jokes he can check off his bucket list, with pictures from his childhood and video of him skiing with Nayeli. Wise's wife, parents and sister all cry, and the skier's eyes well with tears. He maintains that he can keep his street cred because none fell, but it is clear he is moved. "I don't think it gets any better than that," he says. In the span of 30 minutes, Visa crams in all it can for the gold medalist. With poles way too big to ever ski with, Wise jumps around on the patio for a Vine video. Wise sees a mosaic of a photo of him after his winning run, one created with the avatars of those who had congratulated him. He tapes a thank you video for his fans, and one for a particular fan ?? 86 year old Sally Pepper, who was one of the first to comment on Facebook. As he signs, it's pointed out to him that he should carry a gold Sharpie from now on. Before departing the hotel, Wise swaps his Nike sweatpants for jeans borrowed from his manager. A trek through the International Broadcast Center ?? through which he carries a stuffed garment bag that he had packed poorly ?? ends with him in an NBC green room. The video rebroadcast of his run plays as he has make up applied next door. Wise's packed schedule starts at NBCSN, where a brief interview yields claps and congratulations from the crew. "They're throwing me change ups," he says. A trip to the commissary leaves 15 minutes for lunch that consists of a salad, steamed vegetables and chicken and rice. He's starting to dream of the freezer full of elk and deer meat at home. Nike Roshe Run Sand Color Alarm Red Few professions are as unappreciated as that of the gangland concrete shoe cobbler. Maybe you've never had to send a rival mobster to the bottom of the East River and, therefore, can't fully appreciate the craftsmanship. After all, it looks pretty simple in "Billy Bathgate." However, if the movies teach us anything about the ins and outs of the criminal underworld, then fitting a doomed gangster with concrete shoes is obviously a far from simple undertaking. First, you have to make sure you have the right proportions in your concrete mixture and then you have to convince the intended victim to keep still for a few hours while it hardens around his or her feet. Even at gunpoint, that requires some serious conversational talent. We've all seen concrete in action. Someone drives up in a truck, pours the gritty, wet concrete into the desired area and workers shape and smooth it into place. After it dries, you essentially have a custom sized slab of rock only without having to cut blocks of stone out of the Earth. The technique is nothing new. Making concrete essentially resembles the common children's pastime of making mud pies in which mud is poured into a pan and allowed to dry into solid dirt. Of course, no one ever built a skyscraper out of mud bricks or sealed a mafia informer's feet in a slab of Georgia red clay. What is it that makes concrete special, and how do we turn sand and water into something as solid and immobile as a concrete dam?
