Social Events/UnPDNS
From LCA2014 Delegate Wiki
Revision as of 12:28, 16 December 2013 by Mike Fabre (Talk | contribs)
The Unprofessional Delegates Networking Session (or UnPDNS) is the exciting event that gets run alongside the Professional Delegates Networking Session. It's for everyone who can't (or don't want to) go to the PDNS.
We took a break in 2013 when running the UnPDNS would have required us to wake up before 7am. Now that the PDNS is back in the evening, we're back for 2014. Woo.
- When: Thursday night (when the PDNS is on)
- Where: Not sure. We'll figure this out during the conference.
Please note yourself with a (V) if you are a vegetarian or vegan, so we can cater accordingly.

Redness-prone gals and rosacea sufferers have it tough. Sun exposure can make symptoms worse, but chemical and perfume-heavy sunscreens can cause flare-ups too. Get back outside with this fragrance-free moisturizing sunscreen. Created by board-certified dermatologist Dr. Julie Pena, the SPF 50 formula is designed to protect your skin and simplify your skincare routine.
This moisturizer did not agree with my skin. I felt like I was wearing a mask. It is fragrance-free and does moisturize but I just didn't like the feeling of it.
I have olive toned skin and I really liked this. You do have to rub it in some, but it didn't feel thick or heavy. I really like this compared to other brands I've tried. Definitely would purchase the full size.
I wear sunscreen daily on my face and while I understand that it's a sunscreen, it seemed too thick to put on my face because I didn't want my skin to break out. I used it on other parts of my body and was impressed with the results so I used it sparingly on my face but I wouldn't use it as my daily product.
This sunscreen is not heavy or sticky. It not only brightens your skin, but works as a great primer. Has great texture and light, pleasant smell.
I live in Florida and am outside all the time and wear sunscreen every day. I liked this sample so bought full size. I thought it was a very small size considering how expensive it is. Still like the sunscreen, but it is thicker and more difficult to rub in than I remembered. Still very moisturizing.
This is a great product. Oil free and SPF 50...yes please! This sunscreen stays soaked into your skin and prevents getting burned on even the longest days out in the sun. It has zinc so make sure to rub it in really well otherwise you can get some white streaks.
Not a fan of this. I just didn't like how it felt when applied. It felt greasy and went on super white. My skin was shiny and greasy and I had to keep patting my face to get it to absorb. My skin is more oily than normal, so this is probably better suited for dryer complexions.
I thought this was a good product! I love the sample size because I can just throw it in my purse, but I probably won't switch from my regular moisturizer.
This product was not at all for me. I rubbed the Likewise Facial Moisturizer into my deeply complected skin...and rubbed...and rubbed...and rubbed some more. And after several minutes of this looked as if I was prepping for kabuki theater. I have no doubt in my mind that the Likewise product protects its users from the harmful rays of the sun, but I have to be willing to go out in it first. I realized later that I haven't the wrist strength for continued use. Trying to rub this moisturizer into my skin will undoubtedly give me carpal tunnel. Better luck next time.
I used this my Likewise Facial Moisturizer & SPF 50 sample on a recent Vegas vacation...not completely sure how i feel about his product but here are my observations:
- I have dry (with sometimes oily t-zone) and sensitive skin which is prone to acne anytime I use a new product. So definitely like the fact that I DID NOT breakout from using this moisturizer/spf combo.
- Goes on smooth and non-greasy. The only thing is that i see the whiteness for a while after application.

Kentucky's Finest: Bourbon
Small-Batch and Single-Barrel Bourbons Revive the Good Old Days of Whiskey
Mark Vaughan
From the Print Edition:
Winston Churchill, Autumn 93
On an afternoon in late spring, Booker Noe stands in the dimly lit passageway on the fourth story of a 20,000-barrel warehouse at the huge Jim Beam distillery in Clermont, Kentucky. Though rain from a sudden storm pounds down outside, inside the warehouse it is monastically quiet, the air heavy with the scent of musty wood and the caramel-and-alcohol aroma of aging Bourbon. "This is the part of the warehouse where Bourbon ages the best," says Noe, a grandson of the legendary Bourbon-maker Jim Beam, as he selects a barrel for drawing a sample. "I call the whiskey we draw from these barrels the center cut. It's like the heart of a watermelon, strong and flavorful."
Noe, a giant of a man with a slow, deliberate down-home style, takes a large mallet in one beefy hand and rests the other against the side of the nearest barrel. With three sharp whacks on the barrel's staves, Noe skillfully removes the two-inch-thick softwood plug, called a bung, that protrudes from the barrel. With a pop, the bung almost flies out. "There's pressure builds up in a whiskey barrel this time of year," explains Noe, who is a retired master distiller and a self-appointed "ambassador of Bourbon." "In winter, it's just the opposite, and you've got to get hold of the damn thing with something and give it a good pull."
Using a copper siphon, Noe draws a glassful of dark-amber liquid from the barrel. He holds it up in the dim light to check the color, sniffs at it twice and reverentially offers it. "Here, take a good snort of this. It's just what Bourbon was meant to be, the way our forefathers drank it. I kept telling the marketing boys that we ought to be putting this in bottles, and they finally listened to me." The Bourbon has a rich bouquet of smoky spice and the full sweet flavor of burnt caramel and oaky vanilla.
"That's Booker's," says Noe, referring to the label under which this particular whiskey will be bottled. "It goes into the bottle just as it comes out of the barrel, at about 125 proof, not cut or filtered. It's a sipping whiskey, just right for the back porch in the late afternoon."
Later, during that same warm day, Bill Samuels, a lanky talkative Kentuckian with a maverick's reputation in Bourbon circles, tours his Maker's Mark distillery. Nestled in a quiet hollow at the corners of Marion, Nelson, and Washington counties, Maker's Mark retains much of the charm of the old Burke's distillery, which Samuels's father, William Samuels Sr., bought in 1953 for $67,000. The purchase price included the 200-acre Spring Hill Farm, a farmhouse, and a cluster of aging buildings, some dating back to the early 1800s. Most distilleries have an industrial air about them, with 1930s-style, vertical metal architecture and paved parking lots, but not Maker's Mark. With its meticulously restored buildings and tastefully landscaped grounds, the look is distinctly nineteenth century. And the pace is geared to match: Maker's Mark limits production to 40 barrels a day--tiny compared to the industry average of nearly 600 barrels.
"Our philosophy has always been that rather than make a lot and pick out that which is really good from the bunch, we prefer to make a little bit and have it all come out right," says Samuels.
After the tour, Samuels arranges for a comparative tasting of premium Bourbons in the distillery's small conference room decorated with family memorabilia: the revolver of outlaw Frank James, a distant cousin by marriage; a photograph of great-great-grandfather T.W. Samuels, founder of the defunct T.W. Samuels distillery, just up the road in Deatsville; a letter from Ronald Reagan thanking Samuels for a bottle of Maker's Mark delivered to the president's hotel room on the eve of a debate with Walter Mondale in Louisville during the 1984 presidential campaign. ("Reagan was just awful against Mondale in that debate," jokes Samuels, a lifelong Republican. "I'm sure that bottle of Maker's had something to do with it.")
Lined up along a tasting counter are 14 Bourbons. Mostly single-barrel or small-batch, they include some of the finest premium Bourbon whiskeys available: Hancock's Reserve, Rock Hill Farms, Blanton's and Ancient Age 10 Year Old from Ancient Age; Elijah Craig and Evan Williams from Heaven Hill; Wild Turkey Rare Breed from Wild Turkey; Baker's 107, Knob Creek, Basil Hayden's and Booker's from Jim Beam; Old Forester from Brown-Forman; and Maker's Mark standard six-year-old and an experimental eight-year-old.
J. Bennie Miles, assistant vice-president for production at Maker's Mark, supervises tasting of the distillery's Bourbons throughout the aging process. A polite, soft-spoken native of nearby Bardstown, Kentucky, Miles has been at Maker's Mark for 27 years. "The best way to taste a bunch of Bourbons," explains Miles, "is to cut them all down to the same proof. Otherwise, you'll find that the higher proofs will be too hot compared to the lower ones, and your taste buds will get burned."
Miles picks up a glass of Hancock's Reserve and offers it along with some tasting instructions. "What you're looking for is any overaging, which gives it a bitter tannic taste; underaging, which leaves it grainy and sweet, and balance, which means the charcoal, alcohol and wood are all more or less right. Just take a little sip and let it hit the front of your lips, then back it around the tip of your tongue, roll it a little and spit it out."

" I don't see this one mentioned a lot on the boards. I received it from a friend and it is hands-down my favorite carrier. I have had ring slings, wraps, etc. but this one is definitely my go-to. I have a large 5 month old (almost 20 lbs.) and it's the only carrier that doesn't leave my shoulders sore at the end of the day.

post pictures of your undersink plumbing and any other lines you can see.
Hey everyone; new user to the site and was hoping someone may have some ideas for us!
My wife and I just moved into a home that was built in 1987 that is connected to city water and sewer, but in the past had well and septic. We had a renovation done in our kitchen that put new granite with double sinks and a new disposal (there was no disposal before). Everything worked fine for about a week. On thanksgiving, both of the sinks wouldn't drain and backed up. I took apart everything underneath the sink and checked the traps and the pipes. There was no blockages. I put everything back together, strangely enough everything worked again. We ran the dishwasher with no problems etc. Then, the next morning it happened again while my wife was doing dishes. I removed everything again and ran a 15' snake down the pipe that the sinks connect to. Nothing blocked. Now it's still backed up. Also, the disposal has a dripping leak from the bottom of the housing. I also heard some sort of alarm which sounded like it was in the pipes somewhere when I tried sink this morning.
The two sinks drain into one 1.5" pipe that is by itself. The 1.5" pipe runs through the basement rafters and connects to the main line which is exited into the sewer. There are no other problems with any other sinks / drains / toilets etc. I'm about to start beating my head against the wall on this problem. Any help or suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!!
post pictures of your undersink plumbing and any other lines you can see.
Sorry, I was at work and unable to post pictures on my original thread. In talking with a family friend who's a plumber, the concern he had was with how the pipes are under the sink and not having enough venting? There are 2 traps under the sink.. one near the exit to the main pipe going downstairs and the other underneath the t from the disposal... Does this shed some more light on the issue??
Wow. That is special.
Why are there two traps there?
The first thing I would do is kick the person who installed that mess under the sink. Twice.
You wont need any sink stoppers to wash dishes! That sink will never drain! Lose the double trap, and fix the outlet from the disposer which seems to slope upwards. Drop the disposer directly into a Tee into trap, figure out how to make all the other connections. When you add it all up, the drain into the wall may be too high, and might have to be lowered.
Thanks for the input everyone; much appreciated it. Our GC is coming back over tomorrow night to take a look at things again. He swears it's a plug in the line going into the main line.. even after I told him that I ran a 20' snake through and there was no blockages what so ever.
We didn't have an undermount sink or granite (or a disposal for that matter) before the remodel. Are we maybe running into an issue with the 9" deep sink and the big disposal on that side??
You're running into a problem of a contractor who has no idea what they're doing. Every time I say I think I've seen it all...
Looks to me like the drain line is low enough, if you didn't have 2 traps in there. keep the basic setup you have, but lose the trap nearest the exit, as jimbo said. Check the slope on the cross from the disposer, again as jimbo said, it looks to be running uphill to the tee. if that is the case, you need to lower the tee, which may require a new tailpiece on the right bowl if its not long enough. Then just go off the first trap straight to the wall. make sure everything runs slightly downhill, i think it should line up just about perfect once you lose the 2nd trap.
and don't hire whoever that was again, at least not for plumbing. this is 101 stuff here, not a complicated venting issue or something. no excuse for mistakes like that.
With 2 traps in the line it will NEVER drain, or will drain very slowly, at least at first. Whoever did it was NOT a plumber, but you may need a "real" one to get it connected properly. YOUR 20' snake was probably too small to even affect as stoppage, if there were one.
Licensed residential and commercial plumber
Well the GC's contractor came over last night and hooked it up correctly and everything looks fine. BUT, the sinks still don't drain Our next step is to have drainking come by later this afternoon and check out the pipes to see if there is a plug somewhere.
The GC tried to tell me a "told you so" story after it was hooked up correctly. Until I showed him this forum and a few other resources to shut him up. Hopefully we'll have a working sink later tonight with no major problems along the way.
Thanks again everyone for the help and I've learned a few valuable lessons regarding contractors this week!
I just hope the guy didn't work on any of your other plumbing.
If the GC did the redo, it probably still isn't right. With all due respect to you, you should hire a real plumber to deal with this problem. It really isn't going to be very complicated for a professional, may not even need new parts. Also, while I have no personal knowledge of "Drainking", I suspect it is similar to Roto Rooter or other franchise drain cleaners which often are not a very good choice.
The rule of thumb is that ANY company with "Drain" or "Rooter" in the name could be a bad choice.

This might be the perfect place for a tankless water heater. It would be cheaper than building a dog house too.
re: Small Seasonal Cottage - Northern Michigan Lake
The bathroom is very small where I removed an LP Water Heater recently to free up space for a more spacious layout of water closet, lavatory sink and shower unit. The roof is a 3/12 pitch and the vent leaked so I figured that going electric would solve the troublesome vent leaking issue on the roof.
Planning a "dog house" to house an electric water heater. This would be a room attached but not interconnected to the bathroom. It would be of stick (2 x 4) construction with a traditional asphalt roof and vinyl siding and wood floor over joists to match the cottage construction. The bathroom will be heated with baseboards for chilly but not winter usage, but the dog house would not. The cottage plumbing lines will be drained along with the water heater for freezing temperatures before winter sets in and traps filled with RV anti-freeze. The cottage would not be used during the freezing winter season.
QUESTION: Can I install the electric water heater in this "dog house"? Access to the Water Heater would be from a weathertight exterior door. The copper water lines would be run from this new "room" down through the crawl space and up into the bathroom via the floor. Can the water heater be wired (30-amp circuit) with appropriate wiring paths in the wall, and up into the attic. It would be shielded with armor cable or plastic whips as needed. Should it be on a AFCI circuit? There would be a 2 x 4 wall seperating the adjacent bathroom from the water heater. Is this water heater location acceptable? The dog house would be weathertight. Thanks.

Many companies make a metal "shed" for outdoor water heaters, which will be much cheaper than a doghouse, and considerably less than a tankless water heater.

Gui Xianggu was one of the many artists who rose to prominence in the wake of Zhou Leyuan and, like so many of them, he seems to have begun by copying Zhou's works. Since Gui used his own signature first in 1893 and must have known of Ye Zhongsan and Zhou Leyuan early in his career, and since the style here is obviously very tentative and experimental, it may actually be a correct date.
Whatever name Gui used in these early bottles with false signatures, he never made any attempt to hide his own evolving style, which became very distinctive, or his own palette which was unique among the inside-painted artists, with its dominant use of a pale purple colour in most of his works. Although unquestionably a commercial artist, he is one of the most intriguing. He was also capable of excellent work when he put his mind to it, as is demonstrated by the few bottles in this collection and many more on record. Gui worked under his own signature from 1893 to 1901, and we have 60 recorded works from him, if we include the two with spurious signatures. Most of his bottles were dated, and he seems to have been particularly productive in the years 1899 and 1900.
He borrowed subject matter freely from a range of artists, but he was a very individualistic artist with a strong style of his own, who also introduced a number of fresh subjects to the genre. It is also clear that, when borrowing from others, he was usually very creative in rethinking the work of art. The present bottle is an excellent example of this, where a subject borrowed, we may assume, from Ma Shaoxuan (who painted it first in 1894) is linked to its origins only by the subject on one side, and by the long inscription on the other in a style referring to Ma's output. What is more, Gui varied his different versions of this subject, of which there are several, quite considerably. Unlike with Ma, no two are ever the same composition, and clearly Gui was an artist who liked to re-invent each subject as he painted it, another factor that makes him one of the most intriguing of the artists from this period.
For the subject of the Qiao sisters, see Sale 4, lot 40.
The inscription has the irregular line length of a lyric (ci) or aria (qu), but it ends in a long line that rhymes with nothing, which would be impossible in any form of traditional poetry in China. It is possible that Gui Xianggu broke off the inscription before the end of whatever composition he was copying; this happens fairly regularly on snuff bottles. But it may be his own work, for we have not found a source for it. The inscription does not refer to the Qiao sisters, although it does contain one allusion to an event involving the husband of the younger sister, General Zhou Yu, who was an expert in music. Even if Zhou Yu were seemingly paying no attention to the music at a banquet, if the musicians made a mistake, he picked it up and inevitably looked around at them. Whether the writer meant this to be an allusion to Zhou Yu specifically or used the reference to 'turning around to look at the tune' in its general meaning of 'musical appreciation' is unclear.
The composition sees in the corn poppy certain famous events around the founding of the Han dynasty, hundreds of years before the Qiao sisters lived. Xiang Yu, who had toppled the Qin dynasty but failed to establish a stable and defensible state in its place, was pursued to a place on the Yangzi River called Wujiang, where he found himself surrounded by an army led by Liu Bang, the eventual founder of the Han dynasty. He refused to cross to safety, lamenting that he could not face the families of the thousands of young men who had followed him and lost their lives. According to some accounts, he committed suicide there after making a last stand. Before the final battle, he sang a lament for his consort, Yu, who danced for him one last time. Her name, Yumeiren (the Beauty Yu), is also the name of the corn poppy, and the inscription turns on this fact. One more note: Chu in this context refers to the area from which Xiang Yu had raised his army and headed north toward the Qin capital, and it was known for its beautiful women and dances.
We break our translation into stanzas to show where the original changes rhymes:
When a hero's ambition is crushed, he pities the boys and girls; (nü)
When he sang 'Oh, Yu,' his tears fell like rain. (yu)
Can it be that the blossoming branch is the spirit of the beauty,
Still learning to dance with lightly floating steps in the style of Chu? (wu)
The old regrets at Wujiang--- (jiang)
The fresh makeup of Chu. (zhuang)
Tender, it must be dreaming;
Sad, its heart is about to break. (chang)
It seems to turn its head when the singer errs;
How could it stop being fragrant when no one is there? (fang)
When [Liu Bang's] strength was enough to pluck up mountains and his vital energy overspread the world. (no rhyme)
This is one of Gui's masterpieces and one of his finer bottles in general, since the unusually broad form and fat shape have allowed him more scope to be expansive, to which he has responded with the finest version of a subject he painted several times.

Heartstrings Ethereal Fichu Shoulder Wrap
Sorry, this is not currently available.
Previously $4.00 each.
- Pattern Type
- All Knitted
- Shawls and Wraps
A sheer and flowing long triangular shoulder wrap knit in geometric lace motifs. This is a good project to make in a special exotic fiber you've always wanted, as it requires only a small amount of laceweight yarn. (Note - Schaefer Anne is a great yarn for this.)
Start at the point of the triangle and increase to the widest point, creating a pretty pointed edge along the sides of the triangle. To add a bit of a curve to the basic triangle shape, the initial lace motif transitions into a similar one with a slightly different scale partway through the length of the fichu. A pretty coordinating edging is worked sideways to bind off and complete your project.
Triangular shape 42" deep and 56" wide. 600 yards laceweight yarn, approx 2 oz, 4 stitches/inch, size US 6 / 4.0 mm needles suggested.
Charted Instructions.

OGBaby Really Fragrance Free Barrier Balm by Trillium Organics SKU: RFF3BB
The best way to address the problem of diaper rash is to avoid it before it happens with a safe, protective organic barrier between baby skin and urine/excrement.
Really Fragrance Free Barrier Balm is formulated with a base of organic castor oil, a thick, occlusive oil that has been proven effective in diaper rash prevention and in the treatment of inflammation. The castor oil is combined with sunflower oil, which supports the development of healthy skin immune function in babies, and whole, organic chamomile, calendula and lavender flowers, and wildcrafted grindelia herb, extracted in organic olive oil. Non-GMO Vitamin E oil is added due to its action as a natural skin nutrient. Chamomile, calendula and lavender flowers are valuable as gentle anti-inflammatory, disinfectant and healing botanicals, and grindelia herb is particularly useful in the formula as a highly regarded treatment for rashes. Beeswax is one of nature's most useful ingredients for skincare, and contributes thickening, soothing and softening properties to the formula.

you're right about the complement part, its what i said above when i went on two 10's complement with decimal.
Wow! look at the response this threads getting!
by 'regular binary' i meant place value, as in 1010 = 1*2^3 + 0*2^2 + 1*2^1 + 0*^0 = 12d
There is one more thing (two, perhaps). The other way to do negative numbers is to just have a sign bit, and the rest be interpreted as a normal positive value. Where else does 2's complement succeed when this method fails.
also note that this doesn't just work for binary numbers. if we define the negative integer as k-x where k is the number 1 followed by 'n' 0's where n is how many bits the number is. i.e. -0101 = 10000-0101 = 1011.
It simplifies adding a positive number to a negative number.
we use this system because we can use the exact same set of logic gates to add two normal binary integers, as we can to add two two's comlement binary integers. without any overhead such as 'if first bit is 1, then do this instead because it is negative' it can simply be treat as any other positive integer, and due to overflow's ends up giving the correct answer
Two's complement is "regular binary" for positive values. I'm not certain if that's what you were trying to say.
i'm not sure but i think -3(101)
The first bit (leftmost) is the sign bit and is not used in computing the value of the number. Zero signifies a positive number, a one signifies a negative. So with 4 bits, you can represent from 7 (0111) to -8 (1000).
oops! I'm sorry. I thought i was posting this in coders corner! my bad!
i'm taking a course in assembly language x_x

Post subject:
The following will probably be a bit long...and..
since these days, our attention span is very short
hence FB posts past about one sentence are confined to "see more" cuz people have no attention span past a sentence...
so most will probably not read it...
I have nothing against the new Ranger Page...
or the new NSB private FB page...
it is just that you won't see me at any of them much....
I am really tired of social media...
the following (which most won't read cuz it is past one sentence...lol...) is, hopefully, a bit of an explanation....
the large generation gap between me and most of you guys.
I was born in 1951.
at my house, there was no television...when we did get a tv it was my Dad's domain. IF he was watching TV...you could watch what he was watching...otherwise the TV was off.
We had a phone...it was for emergencies only...no one used the phone.
Phones had rotary dials...and I still remember party lines.
Starting with me attending grammar school -as soon as school was out and until a couple days before it resumed I was shipped down to Southern IL where I had 6 Aunts and Uncles with farms....I would be passed from farm to farm for the summer working as a farm hand doing chores like feeding the pigs, picking up eggs, chopping weeds out of the crop fields...and many other tasks. Some of my Aunts and Uncles had no indoor plumbing...you used the outhouse and used a big pan to wash up after you pumped the water from the well.
I walked to school.
I graduated High School in 1969....still well before most of you were born. The 60's was turbulant...I can tell you that first hand. I started my first part time job at 15 - by the time I was 16 I had two part time jobs and went to school. I worked 7 days a week. I also had to pay room and board as soon as I brought home a paycheck...
you get the idea...
life was a little different...
I find that these days people spend more time talking about stuff than doing stuff...
Lately, often when you are conversing with someone face to face...they are only partly paying attention to you as their smart phone is in their hand and they are checking this...that...and the other thing...probably thier "social media" pages...
I find this very annoying to the point that I want to take said phone and put it where the sun don't shine...
probably why I will never own a cell phone....
oh yeah..
photographic proof...
this is me "slopping the hogs"
So....I guess I want to say to "go for it" with all the social media...
but you will likely not see me there much..
I struggle to keep up with the boards and pages that I already am "subscribed" too..

Post subject:
Cute! Though I was born in the 80's, we used to get out and do stuff a lot too! That's why I enjoyed the Dellwood Park shoot. It was 4 hours of nothing but hanging out and taking pics, being big goofy overgrown kids.
I'll still be active on all the facebook pages though. The good thing is, since most of the posts are very short, it doesn't take a lot of time to make them
The hardest part for me is trying to constantly find relevant pictures to post. A lot of events lately haven't had photogs and those that don't haven't been posting a lot of them to the boards.

Kapirinengu | Looking for the Zim tigers …
When Paul and Pieter van Pletzen needed a break from the Gauteng daily grind, they went fishing.
For years they had been trying to find directions to the fishing camp Kapirinengu, near the Mana Pools Game Reserve in Zimbabwe, but to no avail.
They had no idea how to get there, even up to the winter's day they left towing the Titanic, their little aluminium boat. So the plan was to head for the Doma Safari Area in Northern Zimbabwe from where they would bundu bash their way through the Chewore Safari Area to the Zambezi, to try to find Kapirinengu. After some fishing there, they would try to reach the Kafue River Camp next to Zambia's Kafue National Park.This is their story:
Does Kapirinengu ring a bell?
About five years ago I heard about Kapirinengu – a fishing camp near the Mana Pools Game Reserve at the confluence of the Chewore River and the Zambezi.
But no one, not even the staff at Mana Pools, could tell us where it is. The breakthrough came when I found the well-known Zimbabwean conservationist and tour operator, Dick Pitman, on the internet last year. He said he knew where it was.
So we decided to go searching for it. We planned to stay over at Doma Safari Lodge en route to the lower Zambezi, and by coincidence, Dick and a group that he was escorting down the escarpment were also stopping over at the lodge. We agreed to join them there.
Pieter and I left Johannesburg early one morning in June. We headed north on the bumpy, potholed A4 road between Beit Bridge and Harare.
We wasted a lot of time passing through five toll stops (US$ 1 fee at each one) up to Chinhoyi. A few kilometres after each stop, there would be a police road block. At all of these stops we were well received. (Only once, on our way back, did we have to pay a $15 spot fine for a faulty tail light on the trailer − no receipt necessary.)
At Runde, south of Harare, we slept at Rhino Camp. There was no power when we arrived (as is common in Zimbabwe), but the lights came on soon after we had arrived.
On the second day we crossed over to the A5 on the A17 to Gweru and refuelled in Chegutu, 79 km south of Chinhoyi.
About 40 km from Chinhoyi our trailer's brakes suddenly jammed. Catastrophe! The trailer's drawbar had broken.
A well-spoken local lad, who introduced himself as Elias, approached us and said he knew a welder nearby. So off we went to fetch the welder. Luckily, he had the right materials, so a mere hour later we were on the road again.
That night we stayed at the Orange Grove Motel just outside Chinhoyi.
Doma Safari Lodge
Heading for the Doma Safari Lodge the next day, we headed northwest on the A1 and turned off to Mhangura.
The lodge offers hunting safaris, but we were more interested in the beautiful dam next to the lodge, with bream and an abundance of small bass.
Considering it was the wrong season, we caught quite a few fish in six days.
On our sixth day at the lodge, Dick Pitman arrived with a group of four South African families. They were fully equipped with 4x4s, trailers and all the off-road bells and whistles.
Pg 2 | into the escarpment
Trek down the escarpment
What was to have been a 315 km, day-and-a-half trip down the Zambezi Escarpment, took three days.
The road down the escarpment passes through the Doma, Chewore and Sapi Safari areas. It was slow and cumbersome driving along steep, rocky slopes, through deep gulleys, along detours, through tall grass that limited visibility, and a few crossings of dry riverbeds. We were mostly in first gear 4×2, and only had to switch to low-range 4×4 here and there.
Dick gave everyone a two-way radio to keep in contact, and "Paul and Pieter" ended up as "Sout en Peper" for our call signature.
After spending a night camping in the bush on the ridge of the escarpment, we came across a river crossing that looked treacherous. We decided to do a 40 km detour via Angwa Bridge to get to Mkanga Bridge.
We reported to the warden at the outpost of the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority at Mkanga Bridge and then drove along a rough 2 km track to our overnight spot in Bird Camp.
Kapirinengu, at last!
At about 4 pm on our third day of bundu bashing, we finally got to Kapirinengu and the Zambezi and pitched our tents.
What a magnificent place! It is situated in the Chewore Safari Area where the seasonal Chewore River meets the Zambezi, across the river from the Lower Zambezi National Park in Zambia.
It is many kilometres from the nearest settlement and has lots of wildlife and good fishing. Lions roared in the distance at night, an old bull elephant wandered around the camp, antelope grazed in the open plain behind the camp and fish eagles woke us up at dawn.
The river starts to converge around there as it approaches the Mpata Gorge downstream, so the water is deep and fast flowing, and the tiger fish mean and furious.
After years of neglect, Kapirinengu is being renovated by the owner, Terry Kelly, with Zim Parks.
The river was in flood, so fishing was not at its best, but Johan Buys from Paarl was thrilled when he caught one of the first nice-sized tiger fish.
We two ou manne, who were exploring the river from our little Titanic, were put to shame by the rest of the party who caught all the fish in the first few days from the banks.
They all left after four days for further adventures, but we stayed on for another five days.
Pieter eventually caught a 4 kg tiger fish, and I caught my first nice-sized one. Terry taught us a few tricks and helped me catch a 5.5 kg prize specimen.
Pg 3 | Kafue River Camp
Kafue River Camp
Our last destination was the Kafue River Camp. Except for the last 30 km of the bad Mana Pools access road, the many counters at the Chirundu border post and a potholed section of road south of Kafue town, things went well and we reached Eureka Camp, on a private game farm near Lusaka.
>After restocking with food and drink and refuelling, we hit the tar road to Mumbwa one day later. Following directions obtained from the Kafue River Camp we drove through the outskirts of Mumbwa and found the main gravel road north to Kasempa.
Apart from the first 40 km, it was in a good condition and we cruised at 70 km/h. We watched out for animals and oncoming vehicles, as we passed through parts of the Kafue National Park and adjacent game management areas.
We crossed the Kafue River by ferry ($20) at Lubungu, drove a few kilometres down the main road and took the well-marked turnoff to the camp on a 12 km gravel track.
Kafue River Camp is a new development, but it was the only lodge offering affordable self-catering camping facilities.
The Kafue River was in flood, so we did not use the Titanic very much. But fishing from the banks was good. We caught a few nice pikes and bream on spinners, and lots of smaller bream on worm.
There were lots of lion, elephant, bushbuck and puku about, but the game was generally skittish because of hunting in the game management area.
Which way to Kafue?
We spent a whole day trying to locate the northern entrance to the Kafue National Park, which is about 100 km north of Kafue River Camp, driving up and down one section.
Locals told us to turn off onto a badly rutted road at a sign reading Kabanga Wildlife Sanctuary. There was no indication that it eventually would lead to the park.
We also had no idea how far it was to the park – estimates by locals varied from 8 km to 25 km.
Eventually we gave up and turned around, and drove back to Lusaka. The next day we headed home, taking three more days to get back.
We might not have seen Kafue National Park, but that didn't matter − we had finally found Kapirinengu.
I want to go too!
What are the roads like?
The potholed A4 north of Beit Bridge is bumpy. Apart from badly potholed sections between Chirundu and Lusaka, and the first 60 km from Mumbwa to Kafue River Camp, the Zambian roads are not bad.
Can I drive there by myself?
Yes, but if you want to follow the route we did to Kapirinengu, you will need a guide. From there you can drive to Zambia by yourself.
What should I take along?
For camping, you need to be completely self-sufficient. Carry at least 25 litres water. Treated water is available at the lodges and camps.
Apart from tools and spare parts as well as a recovery kit, must-haves include an electrical adapter plug – from square pegs to round pegs and a variety of double adapters.
Also take water purification tablets, a block of wood to support your jack and a seed net for the radiator.
Is fuel readily available?
Fuel is available in most Zimbabwean (around $1.10/litre) and Zambian (about R10/litre) towns. Take at least one full jerry can along. Carry enough fuel for at least 1 000 km between remote refuelling points.
Should I book?
We booked the main destinations. It is advisable to book for national parks (email@example.com).
You need authorisation from Zim Parks to visit the safari areas in the Lower Zambezi. Phone the offices in Makuti 263 63 512/3 or 263 63 584/5.
What maps did you use?
Infomap's Zambia; the AA's Motoring in Zimbabwe and New South African book of the road; World Map's Zimbabwe; maps that were drawn from Google Earth.
Pg 4 | Facts & Figures
Facts & Figures
Best time:
August to mid-November. Many lodges and camps on the Lower Zambezi close up by late November.
In Zambia, fishing seems to be good all year round. For game viewing, winter is best.
Stay at least:
Five days at each venue to get the feel of a place.
Lions roaring at night, dodging elephant and buffalo on your way to a fishing spot.
Tiger fish are ferocious hunters just like piranhas. With their razor-sharp teeth, schools of tiger fish can attack humans and large land animals.

Why Kapirinengu?
Recently a pride of lions killed an eland in the campsite. The lions were chased off by a pack of hyenas.

What can I say but I love all the sexy women in the world. Upon shooting a music video for a client, I was definitely posted right in the land of sexy women. I was by the beautiful west side highway by Riverside Park, well about 50 blocks away at least. I love to see people outside doing their thing and being themselves. I like to go out and enjoy all types of culture and people. If you ever get a chance to visit New York or if you already here, please go to the west side by the water and see the visual of the New Jersey across the water. It is one of the best places to go and relax and watch the men and women working out. When I went so many lovely ladies were doing thing, running and getting in shape and men riding bikes to build their fitness. I will share with you the music video when I finish editing it on my YouTube channel for a song titled "Emotions".
It's one of goals this year to tour random areas in New York City. I want to under all gems both in the daytime and nighttime in which brings to my late night visits to the East Village to go poetry, photo and video work in the area and also at the Nuyorican Poets Cafe. I am also a current proud member of the institution of expression for so many talented people and the history it bestows. Well making my trip there and back home walking to the 6 train, I try to walk down a different block each time to discover cool locations for future photo shoots and etc. Upon doing so and walking towards Bowery Street, I found some nice visuals in which I am glad to share with you. I hope you like and enjoy.

Whooping Cough (Pertussis) - Topic Overview
What is whooping cough?
Whooping cough is a disease that causes very severe coughing that may last for months. You can cough so hard that you hurt a rib.
Whooping cough is also called pertussis.
Whooping cough is contagious. This means it spreads easily from one person to another. You can prevent whooping cough by getting shots, called vaccines, that protect you from the disease.
Whooping cough can lead to other problems, such as pneumonia. These problems can be very serious in adults ages 60 and older and in young children, especially babies who are born early or have not had shots to prevent whooping cough.
With good care, most people recover from whooping cough with no problems.
A person of any age can get whooping cough. You can get whooping cough more than one time, and you may get it years apart. But you will be less likely to get it again if you get the shots as recommended.
What causes whooping cough?
Whooping cough is caused by bacteria that infect the top of the throat (pharynx) where it meets the nasal passages. The bacteria bother the throat, which causes coughing.
See a picture of the respiratory system , including the pharynx.
Whooping cough spreads easily from person to person. When someone with the disease coughs, sneezes, or laughs, tiny drops of fluid holding the bacteria are put into the air. The bacteria can infect others when they breathe in the drops or get them on their hands and touch their mouth or nose. After the bacteria infect someone, symptoms appear about 7 to 14 days later.
What are the symptoms?
Adults usually have milder symptoms than children. How bad your symptoms are also depends on whether you had the vaccine and how long ago it was.
Symptoms of whooping cough usually last 6 to 10 weeks, but they may last longer. In young children, three stages can occur. Older children and adults don't always have the same stages.
In stage 1, symptoms are like those of a cold:
- You sneeze and have a runny nose, a mild cough, watery eyes, and sometimes a mild fever.
- The symptoms last from several days to 2 weeks.
- This is when you are most likely to spread the disease.
In stage 2, the cold symptoms get better, but the cough gets worse.
- The cough goes from a mild, dry, hacking cough to a severe cough that you can't control.
- You may cough so long and hard that you can't breathe. When you can take a breath of air, it may make a whooping noise.
- After a coughing fit, you may vomit and feel very tired.
- Between coughing fits, you feel normal.
- Symptoms are most severe in this stage. They usually last 2 to 4 weeks or longer.

In a world where television is still tightly controlled by the cable providers, the news that ESPN is considering a future in web-based TV is both positive and exciting. The Disney owned sports network has reportedly been holding 'preliminary talks' to take their entire offering online according to Bloomberg:
Super Bowl XLVII is just around the corner and this year we'll be witnessing the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers go head to head. If for some reason you won't be able to catch the entire game live in front of your television set, there are tons of apps available in the App Store that can help you keep up play by play straight from your iPhone or iPad no matter where you are or what you're doing.
So if you want to make sure you're kept up to date with scores, plays, and more, follow along for some app suggestions that'll help you do just that.
It's been a long time coming, but ESPN ScoreCenter for iPhone has finally been updated with a refreshed interface that mirrors that of its larger iPad-fitted version. The new interface ditches the swiping five-panel layout of the old ScoreCenter, opting instead for a simplified layout while adding support for ESPN's rapidly-growing video catalog and greatly improving app performance. Everything you liked about ScoreCenter is still there, while a lot of what you disliked has been excised or improved. And it's still free - can't beat that.
Walt Disney might possibly potentially think about considering putting their sports network's WatchESPN app on the Apple TV and letting us poor dumb users watch it, provided we authenticate with a right-and-proper... with a Pay TV account. Seriously.
Ok, the season officially opened the other day, but the Red Sox play their first game today so that makes it the real opening day. Thankfully, baseball fans are never far away from the action if they have their trusty iPad or iPhone by their side. There are apps for watching baseball, scoring baseball, finding food at the ballpark, playing casual games, and managing the ever-important fantasy baseball team.
Here are the home runs...
Slacker Radio announced this morning that they have signed a new deal with ESPN that will allow them to stream live sporting events in addition to the ESPN Radio shows already offered. The live coverage will kick off tonight with the BCS Championship title available to all Slacker listeners via the web player. Future live programming will be available to Slacker Radio Plus and Slacker Premium Radio subscribers.
Football season is upon us again and with it comes the need for score updates, player stats, rosters, and other information hardcore fans want in the palm of their hands. For iPhone users, you've got tons of options when it comes to apps. Whether you just want to check score updates or check on your favorite fantasy football league. Follow along for our top picks.
One of Phil Schiller's favorite iPhone apps, ESPN ScoreCenter, [iTunes Link] just got that much better with the addition of push notifications. Even better you get the ESPN SportsCenter jingle as your notification sound.
With ESPN ScoreCenter you get real-time scores, live game details, game summaries and stats for 9 major sports including the following: MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL, Soccer, NCAA Football and Basketball, NASCAR, Golf, and Tennis.
The only major sport that I wish was included is mixed martial arts coverage. That would make this app absolutely unreal. Life goes on and at the end of the day, with push notifications, this is the best sports app to get your up to the minute sports information and best yet, it's free!
One more image after the break!

Some local organizations are doing their part to help the victims of Hurricane Sandy in New York and New Jersey.
Klockner Pentaplast continued its effort Saturday to collect goods for the students and staff of a school in Brooklyn. The company collected foot outside of Charlottesville's Kmart Saturday.
Calvary Chapel Charlottesville also began a collection effort Saturday. The community helped fill a truck at the Giant supermarket on Pantops.
On Monday, volunteers from the chapel will take two truckloads of food and other supplies to some of the people hit hardest by Sandy.
"The people there who are organizing these efforts are going to distribute us into the neighborhoods and communities," said Chad Myhre, pastor of Calvary Chapel Charlottesville. "Basically, we're going to open up the back, set up some tables and pass things out. So everything that goes into this truck, when it comes out, it's going right into somebody's hand."
The chapel will collect donations on Sunday at the Kroger locations at Rio Hill and Emmet Street.
Klockner Pentaplast will also accept donations at Kmart Sunday.
