WASTE management company J & B Recycling is expanding its operations across the region after acquiring an additional site in Middlesbrough.
The North-East firm has opened a waste transfer station at Dockside Road, South Bank, to process commercial and industrial materials from customers across South Teesside and North Yorkshire
The new site has helped to create an additional six jobs at J & B Recycling and will improve efficiency by reducing journey times for deliveries by other waste carriers.

Mark Penny, commercial manager at the firm, said: "A significant proportion of the waste we handle comes from businesses and organisations in the South Tees region, so it has always made sense to operate a waste transfer station closer to the point of waste generation. This will allow us to expand our reach further south and gain more work.
"With an additional site in Middlesbrough we can handle commercial and industrial waste far more efficiently and reduce journey times. Previously, all the waste had to be delivered to Hartlepool for processing but the new site will allow J & B to expand our service and attract new customers that may have found it uneconomical to travel to Hartlepool."
The new waste transfer station will manage industrial waste from commercial customers such as general waste, construction waste, metals, glass, plastics, and cardboard and will allow J & B Recycling to release capacity at its two existing recycling centres in Hartlepool. The South Tees site is currently processing more than 1500 tonnes of waste per month and has helped J & B Recycling attract a number of new customers.
The company, which employs 150 staff, recycles about 120,000 tonnes of waste each year from household, commercial, industrial and construction sources with customers including Middlesbrough College, car parts manufacturer Nifco UK and The Cleveland Centre.
Mr Penny added: "As a waste management business, reducing our carbon footprint is at the very heart of what we do. We need to set an example by driving forward efficiency in every aspect of our operations particularly in reducing the journey distances and working to our full capacity."

I have a library, written in python, that I'd like to include with one of my plugins.
On my OSX machine, which I believe has python installed, I am able to get my plugin to work!On my PC, I am not able too; I get errors that seem to indicate packages that don't exist (os, re, pkg_resources, sys)
My initial reaction is that; I simply don't have python installed and ST2 doesn't ship with any python libraries with it's interpreter aside from sublime and sublime_package.
If I am not able to get a library loaded into ST2, am I allowed to open files for input, reading.
Sublime Text uses OSX's built-in version of Python.On Windows (and I think Linux, too), Sublime Text uses a bundled version of Python 2.6.
There should not be an issue with importing os, re, or sys since I've used all of these in some of the plugins I've made. I've never used pkg_resources but I doubt that would cause a problem either.
am I allowed to open files for input, reading.Yes.
Could you tell me what error you're getting? What is displayed in the console (control + `)?
Thanks, I was being purposefully vague.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File ".\sublime_plugin.py", line 59, in reload_plugin
File ".\setup.py", line 3, in <module>
from setuptools import setup
ImportError: No module named setuptools
I believe this is just me importing wrong, circular or otherwise.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File ".\sublime_plugin.py", line 59, in reload_plugin
File ".\DocDecorator.py", line 172, in <module>
class FigletFont(object):
File ".\DocDecorator.py", line 178, in FigletFont
reMagicNumber = re.compile(r'^[tf]lf2.')
NameError: name 're' is not defined
The code I'm attempting to bundle in a package via: github.com/pwaller/pyfiglet
from pyfiglet import Figlet
Edit: Solved the preceding errors. Narrowed it down to pck_resources not being available (I think) so the file input, file reading will need to be modified.
Edit 2: Pretty sure I have it working now. Here's some output:
__ _
_____/ /_____ _____(_)__ _____
/ ___/ __/ __ \/ ___/ / _ \/ ___/
(__ ) /_/ /_/ / / / / __(__ )
/____/\__/\____/_/ /_/\___/____/
Going to finish it up now, thanks for the help.
Hi, I am really looking forward to this plugin to work: Its the only thing i miss at Sublime2. I love the minimap and having big comments would come just handy to find stuff easily with it.
Currently i have that

Is there a quick fix for it available?
I'm actively working on it, I promise.
Once it's available I'll be sure to post it.
I am now running into a logic issue... it was working fine at home but now, after converting to file i/o from pkg_resources, it's smushing and looking terrible on OSX.

Faces & names: Bieber's condo is new hot spot for police calls
Beverly Hills police have a new favorite haunt: Justin Bieber's condo.
Police officers responded six times over the weekend to the condo — twice for fan misconduct and four times because neighbors complained about noise coming from an apparent party, said Beverly Hills police Sgt. Matt Subin.
Bieber was not cited but was given verbal warnings. He is on probation for egging the home of a former neighbor in Calabasas, Calif.
Bieber recently moved to a five-story luxury building, acquiring a penthouse apartment and another apartment inside the complex that has a rooftop lounge and party area.
The pop singer, who has had more brushes with the law in recent months than chart hits, recently pleaded no contest to throwing eggs at his former neighbor's home.
Under a plea deal reached with the Los Angeles County district attorney's office, the pop star pleaded no contest to misdemeanor vandalism in the incident and was ordered to pay $80,900 in restitution.

Sheila Jordan and Cameron Brown Present A Jazz Evening with Voice and Bass
The New York Society Library will present award-winning vocalist Sheila Jordan and bassist Cameron Brown in an intimate evening of their jazz favorites. The event takes place Wednesday, September 28, at 6:30 pm at the New York Society Library, 53 East 79th Street (just east of Madison Avenue; 6 train to 77th Street).
The cost is $20 per person with advance registration, or $25 at the door. Reservations can be made at http://nysljordanbrown.eventbrite.com/ or by contacting the Events Office at firstname.lastname@example.com or 212-288-6900 x230.
This event is generously supported by the Estate of Marian O. Naumburg.
Sheila Jordan is one of the premier living jazz vocalists. She has received American jazz's highest honor, the Jazz Masters Award from the NEA, as well as the Mary Lou Williams Women in Jazz Award. She began in a trio singing versions of solos by Charlie Parker, her first great influence. She married Parker's pianist, Duke Jordan, and studied with Lennie Tristano. Among her early recordings in the 60s was "The Outer View" with George Russell, which featured a famous 10-minute version of "You Are My Sunshine." After working extensively in jazz church liturgy and in clubs in the 60s, her popularity and recordings spread in the 70s and 80s, including collaborations with pianist Steve Kuhn and bassist Harvie S. Her preference for the bass and voice set has led to another remarkable collaboration with bassist Cameron Brown, with whom she has been performing all over the world for more than ten years. They have released the live albums I've Grown Accustomed to the Bass and Celebration. The New York Times says, "her ballad performances are simply beyond the emotional and expressive capabilities of most other vocalists."
Detroit native Cameron Brown has worked with such leading lights as George Russell, Don Cherry, Archie Shepp, Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, Chet Baker, Betty Carter, Dannie Richmond, Dewey Redman, and Joe Lovano. He was a founder of the famous Don Pullen/George Adams Quartet, performs with his own group The Hear and Now, and has worked with Ms. Jordan for 15 years. He has appeared on more than 125 recordings.
The New York Society Library was founded in 1754 and is the city's oldest library. In the eighteenth century, an organization labeled "Society" meant that it was open to all-available to everyone throughout society. The Library today is open to all for reading, reference, and selected events, with circulation and other services by subscription.
The beautiful landmarked building dates from 1917 and includes reading rooms, spaces for study, stacks, and the Assunta, Ignazio, Ada and Romano Peluso Exhibition Gallery. The Library has approximately 275,000 volumes and hosts a variety of special events, reading groups, and workshops, as well as the New York City Book Awards.
Information on the Library and its history can be found at www.nysoclib.org.

On Thursday, March 24, 5 to 7 p.m., the Crouse Hospital School of Nursing will welcome prospective students who want to learn more about pursuing a degree and eventual career in nursing. Both events will be held in the Marley Education Center, 765 Irving Ave.
Faculty will be on hand to provide information and answer questions, and attendees will be able to tour the school, labs and dorms, and speak with current and former students. Refreshments will be provided, and free parking is available in the Marley Education Center garage. For more information, call 315/470-7481.
Nurses will be in demand for years to come. According to DiscoverNursing.com, part of a national nursing recruitment project sponsored by Johnson & Johnson, there will be an estimated shortage of 800,000 nurses by the year 2020. With the world population living longer and needing more care, the healthcare field is one of the best places to get a job, and will likely stay that way for many years to come. Nursing is also considered a highly regarded profession. A Gallup Poll several years ago announced that the public again voted nurses number one for "honesty and ethical standards of various professions.

Pendleton Could Become Home to Guantanamo Detainees
orange county register ^ | January 15th, 2009 | Dena Bunis
Posted on Thursday, January 15, 2009 9:00:03 AM by kellynla
Camp Pendleton is apparently on the list of potential new homes for Guantanamo Bay detainees if and when President-elect Barack Obama makes good on his campaign promise to close the terrorist detention center.
The Associated Press is reporting that Obama will issue an executive order during his first week in office. As soon as he signs it the new administration will have to figure out what to do with the 250 al Qaeda and Taliban combatants.
And three House members from San Diego put Defense Secretary Bob Gates on notice this week that they don't want to see Pendleton as the new home for these folks.
""This decision could seriously endanger the mission," at Pendleton, wrote Reps. Darrell Issa, Duncan Hunter, and Brian Bilbray.
I talked with Issa's chief of staff Dale Neugebauer last night who said the Vista congressman – who used to represent part of Orange County – believes these prisoners should be returned to the places they were captured. So if we picked them up in Afghanistan, they should go back there.
Issa believes, he said, that having those enemy combatants there would "detract from the Marines' mission at a time when they are engaged in armed conflicts in both Iraq and Afghanistan.
The letter also points out that there are 14,000 military family members at Camp Pendleton and that it wouldn't be good for Marines serving overseas to be fearful for their families if the Guantanamo detainees were sent there.
There isn't agreement among those who sent the letter about what to do with Guantanamo. Hunter, who is a freshman lawmaker taking over from his father, also Duncan Hunter, comes to Congress fresh from multiple tours in Iraq and he has been quoted as saying the detainee camp in Cuba should be maintained.

The Adoption of Genetically Modified Cotton and Poverty Reduction in Pakistan
This article employs a propensity score-matching approach to examine the direct effects of adoption of "Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) cotton on yields, pesticide demand, household income and poverty, using cross-sectional data from a survey of farmers in the Punjab province of Pakistan. Generally, the findings reveal that adoption of the new technology exerts a positive and significant impact on cotton yields, household income and poverty reduction, and a negative effect on the use of pesticides. The positive and significant impact of the technology on yields and household income is consistent with the potential role of new agricultural technology in directly reducing rural poverty through increased farm household income."

When it comes to drag racing, the Tesla Model S has proven itself a worthy opponent even for established sports cars, so how about putting it side by side with the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51?
That's exactly what the folks from DragTimes did, choosing the most capable version of each car on sale today: the Model S P85 and the Corvette Stingray Z51. The Tesla Model S P85 has 416 hp from an electric motor, while the Corvette Stingray Z51 is powered by a 6.2-liter V8 engine producing 455 hp (460 hp with the optional performance exhaust system).
Torque is even more important in a drag race, and the Tesla Model S has an advantage here, as the electric engine delivers all its 443 lb-ft (600 Nm) at the first push of the accelerator pedal, while the Corvette's engine delivers its 460 lb-ft (624 Nm) of torque from 4,600 rpm.
Sounds like a pretty tight race, so scroll down to find which car wins.

Today, I get to share two great things.
First, my first book as Keaton Quist will be out today! I'll add the link as soon as it's available. Swapped will be available at Stiff Rain Press and while it's a romance, it's go some taboo elements so it's under my Keaton name. I had so much fun writing this book, and my editor thinks it's one of my best works. I can't wait to share it with all of you.
The other thing I'd like to share is this video. It's just too freaking cool not to spread around the world. I love classic films and I grew up loving the Bee Gees so this is a perfect mix. You have to check this out. Whoever mixed this video is super talented.


text: I prefer bigger bullets, but I continually read comments about how there is little difference in the actual effect of modern HP ammunition between 9mm, 357 Sig, 40, and 45. I can easily understand how a millimeter or two of diameter is not as important as an inch or two of exact shot placement. Given the understanding that shot placement trumps caliber and follow up shots may be required, accuracy and speed of follow up shots are both important. Since we are not going to count on a one shot stop and could be faced with more than one assailant, a 6 + 1 or 7 + 1 capacity is unfavorable; I am including capacity as a factor in my choice of carry pistol. Using my Glocks, I decided to obtain some fresh data with carry ammo. First, I fired each 8 10 shots slow fire at 7 yards to make sure the horizontal adjustment was good, if needed I tweaked it. I prefer to aim right on that small red dot and have the bullet POI either right on or up to about 1 high. Satisfied with POI, next was double taps. My emphasis is on 1st 2nd shot follow up time. I want both the first and 2nd shot to hit a 6 circle. I put several 6 circles on a larger target at 7 yards. I had not used the shot timer in about a year, so I gave myself a couple of warm-up runs with the Glock 19 prior to data collection. This is the method I used for my data; I would shoot 4 pairs (8 shots) then check to see if any shots missed the circle, after covering any misses I repeated with 4 additional pairs. In order to obtain what I considered to be a fair representation of performance, I eliminated the greatest (slowest) time from each of the four pairs; if a shot missed then I also eliminated the quickest time. The result was at least 4 pairs that remained (for each pistol) and they got averaged. I use the flush fitting magazines in the 30SF but all subcompacts (26, 27, 33) have Pearce +0 bases. All of the pistols have Meprolight night sights except the 33 which has XS Big Dots. Results: Glock 19 using Federal 124 gr. HST +P: average .26 sec with 13/16 hits. Glock 32 using Winchester Ranger T 125: average .26 sec with 13/16 hits. Glock 23 using Remington Golden Saber 165: average .27 sec with 13/16 hits. Glock 30 SF using Federal 230 gr. Hydra-Shok: average .28 sec with 13/16 hits. Glock 27 using Federal 180 JHP*: average .29 sec with 15/16 hits* *I was skeptical with this result and Federal 180 JHP is not my carry ammo so I ran it again. Glock 27 using Federal 180 gr. Hydra Shok: average .30 sec with 14/16 hits. Glock 26 using Federal 124 gr. HST +P: average .30 sec with 15/16 hits. Glock 33 using Winchester Ranger T 125: average .35 sec with 13/16 hits. I was most pleased with the total cumulative POI from the 19, 23, 26 and 27. I did not include my 29 SF in the test, because when I shot the initial 8 rounds slow fire to check POI it was higher than I prefer, even with light 155 gr. ammo and recoil was noticeably stiffer than the others. Conclusion: Take what you want from this, but I am surprised by the slight to non-existent difference in follow up times (9mm vs 40) with similar pistols and hits on target.

Mr. Holt answered these questions in the summer of 2013. He joined the Alumni Council in the fall of 2012.
Why did you decide to pursue a degree at the University of Chicago Divinity School?
Because of its reputation in the field of history of religions and the resources of Regenstein Library.
What were the highlights of your Divinity School experience?
Taking courses in American religious history from Martin Marty, in theory and method from Jonathan Smith, and in the study of myth and ritual from Mircea Eliade. I also truly appreciated being mentored by Joseph Kitagawa. But the most outstanding experience was benefiting enormously by the encouragement, constructive and detailed criticisms, and passion for knowledge of a great dissertation adviser, Frank Reynolds.
What is your current job? How did you get to this position?
I am currently William R. Kenan Professor of Humanities in Religion and Asian Studies at Bowdoin College. Frank Reynolds recommended me for this position in 1978 and I was successful in my interview.
How did the program at the Divinity School and the wider University prepare you for your current work?
The Divinity School and the University turned me into a scholar and bred into me a work ethic that has persisted to this day. Though the experience was not without an extraordinary amount of effort and sometimes intense feelings of anxiety, I learned how to respect the process of inquiry and to benefit from engaging it seriously.
What do you do in your non-professional life?
Skiing in the mountains of Maine and canoeing in Maine's coastal waters remain the best way for me to navigate the psychological intensity of the academic year.
Why did you agree to serve on the Alumni Council?
I wanted to reconnect with the Divinity School and perhaps give just a little something back to the institution that made my own career possible.
Anything else you would like to add?
I'm still very enthusiastic about recommending Chicago to my best students who want to proceed to graduate study.

Comments about Mackie 1604-VLZ3 Premium 16-Channel/4-Bus Compact Mixer:
I think this is a very good mixer. It has a lot of features I don't care about because I do not do home recordings and I do not have lots of effects on my live music. Features I could use that this mixer does NOT have is more than two possible monitor mixes and no xlr outputs (not even 2 on the R/L mains).
The Mackie 1604 VLZ3 mixer straddles the line between a small studio mixer and a small/medium venue live mixer. It is heavy, but that usually equates to quality in my experience, unless they are using a cast iron frame.
I currently am using a Peavey 16 channel mixer that is starting to show problems after 10 years of constant use and sometimes in heat over 100F. It has xlr outputs on the right/left and mono main outs and the 2 monitor outs. If I had not had such bad luck with so many of Peavey's other products, I would try to get another mixer just like it.
Why Mackie does not offer a mixer with the same features as this old Peavey given that all Mackie's powered speakers use xlr connectors exclusively, is beyond dumb to me. So be sure to buy some male 1/4 inch phone plug X female xlr cables for any outs to powered speakers.
I did not find a manual in the box. You will need one to use this mixer! LOTS of buttons on this baby. You miss one button in the wrong position and there may be no output! Mackie has some very specific meanings to some terms commonly used with other mixers that could impact the performance of the mixer. They have a nice summary of channel setup in the manual I downloaded from the internet. If you memorize it, you are halfway there with this unit.
It would be nice if Mackie provided the "pre-send" option on more of the aux outs to increase the potential monitor sends to more than 2.
This thing appears rock solid. All the faders are very smooth operating as well as the pots. All the switches work, the power cable is heavier than I have seen on some guitar amplifiers. I have not used it live yet. I tend to run electronic items like this for a couple days at the house to burn them in and uncover any infant mortality issues that may wreck a gig later. So far, so good.
In my particular application, live using active monitor and house speakers, sometimes at the end of LONG mic (signal) cables, I cannot use this mixer out of the box without buying some extra specialized cables, and even then, I don't like having extra connectors in my signal chain. So as nice as this mixer is, it does not seem like it is designed to go with the active speakers mackie has also designed, and of which I have bought so many. But no other mixer appears to have xlr outputs either at this time so maybe I am the one that is totally clueless here.
Comments about Mackie 1604-VLZ3 Premium 16-Channel/4-Bus Compact Mixer:
There's really not much more that can be said about the undeniable quality of a Mackie analog mixer. A bit overpriced, I think, so I gave the Mackie 1604-VLZ3 a low "value" rating.My frustration came when, after paying though the nose for the mixer and being excited about the rotating I/O panel feature that their own specs say offers "three configurations", I found out that you still have to buy a pricey accessory to have the I/Os on the face of the mixer.Be aware of this and order the accessory when you buy the mixer so you don't have to wait longer.
Comments about Mackie 1604-VLZ3 Premium 16-Channel/4-Bus Compact Mixer:
I have no idea why this mixer doesn't have XLR outputs. None. At all. Even the entry-level mixers by Mackie have XLR outs. The old VLZ-PRO is built better, and it's cheaper now that these are out. Buy an old VLZ-PRO and be happy forever.

Mine worked great for 2 years. Now it goes crazy. Sometimes WHOLE channels completely go out! Sometimes I loose the Left or just the right channel! This board woud be great if you wanted some extra electronic parts....
Comments about Mackie 1604-VLZ3 Premium 16-Channel/4-Bus Compact Mixer:
The EQ isn't as good as the VLZ-Pro, it sounds a bit weaker. The build strength on the VLZ3 is MUCH lower. The one I got had the roto-pod bent, and although the board tested out ok on install, a week later, I was called back to look at the mixer. It had to be replaced. The replacement is working fine. Since Mackie was bought out by LOUD, their products have gone downhill.

While I prefer larger and more powerful cartridges like .357 Magnum and .44 Magnum myself, I think that a medium-frame .38 Special revolver is a highly underrated self-defense weapon and would not feel at all uncomfortable if it was all I had to defend myself with.
In a medium-frame, all steel revolver, the recoil of a .38 Special, even with +P ammunition, is mild enough that I've yet to meet anyone who couldn't handle it after a moderate amount of training and familiarization. In its better loadings such as Remington 158gr LSWCHP +P or Speer 135gr +P Gold Dot, the .38 Special gives comparable performance to some of the better 9mm loadings and is more than enough gun for most situations if the shooter can do his/her part. The simplicity of a DA revolver is, in my mind, very advantageous to inexperienced or "casual" shooters not only because of the absence of a manual safety, but also because of the longer, heavier yet smooth trigger which takes a deliberate effort to pull and the ease of verifying whether the gun is loaded or not. Finally, while not available at the bargain basement prices they used to be, a good medium frame .38 Special such as a S&W K-Frame, Ruger Security Six, or Colt Official Police is not particularly difficult to find in the $300-400 range and sometimes less if one happens upon a good deal.

The .38 Special can be a fun plinking round and I would not want to get shot with one.
It does not do well at stopping drug-crazed Phillipino Moros. Hence, the M1911 in .45ACP.
Edit: Was just thinking about my SA XD9 Service. Maybe some 9mm loads have comparable ballistics to some .38 Spl loadings. But even if I had to deal out 3 shot "Mozambiques" with a 9mm I could theoretically take out 5 attackers to a .38 Spl's 1 attacker (and some change). I see value in a lightweight .38 Spl to carry when you don't want to carry your main gun, but if I only have 5 or 6 shots let them be .357 Magnum so I don't need 3 shot kills. That is why I carried a S&W 686 4" for many years. Maybe too heavy or large for some, but it worked for me when it had to.

I think it was the .38 Long Colt that was the one the GIs used in the Phillipines. The .38 Special was designed (and is more powerful) to overcome the weaknesses of it.

Thanks for the correction. I believe you are right about that.

What can't a .38special do? It can't keep a band going for three decades!
Ok, I'm a dork. I liked that band though.
Seriously, I prefer a .38special (lswc) to a .357mag for nightstand duty: less over penetration and less deafness after the fact, while still being a life saver.
My pop-in-law passes a .38sp to me and it is a nice little shooter. I admit I am more into bottom-feeders, as I shoot them better, and I prefer 9mm or .45acp for personal carry or home defense: same or more power with 2x the capacity. My wife has the .38sp and a phone on her side.
I wouldn't feel unprepared with a .38sp. But I won't carry a smaller pistol for defense.

It lost favor mainly because the cops started facing multiple assailants with hi-cap semi-autos. Bad guys don't worry about hitting innocent bystanders, so they could "spray and pray" and achieve fire superiority against the 6-shot police revolvers. Some departments (Chicago PD for one) actually adopted what amounted to a hi-cap .38 Special in the form of the Beretta 92 DA only gun. 9MM eventually replaced the .38 Special because you could carry 15+ rounds in it and it was much quicker to reload. Then people started realizing that 9MM wasn't all that effective and it was (and is) being replaced by .40 S&W.

I get confused when I read statements that cops carried the .38 special in crime-ridden cities like New York and Los Angeles (you missed Chicago)...when cops rarely drew their gun.
The fact is, the .38 special was a relatively powerful cartridge. In fact, it still is. The magnums are certainly more powerful, provided you actually shoot them in your gun. I rarely did when I owned revolvers. Likewise, practically all handgun cartridges came with round nose bullets. Hollow points, referred to as "trick bullets" by some, came rather later. The same sort of writers also referred to any particularly powerful cartridge as a "freak load." Maybe he didn't like guns.
I might also point out that my comments here are based on published data from an old book from before the ammo companies started loading weaker ammunition, when the .38 ACP was a real man's cartridge. But I sometimes wonder if those figures were truthful.
I always thought it odd that people love the .45 ACP (I'm one of them) but yet recommend using anything but the old full metal jacket 230 grain load, the one load that made it's reputation. It'll knock you down if it hits you in your little finger, I've been told, whereas the .38 special will only give you a sore finger for a few days, or something like that. These days a .357 magnum is the absolute bottom for a serious self-defense cartridge and then only if you have weak hands. That's what Elmer Keith said and you can trust him.

I read this thread hoping someone had some actual experences with the round. Since shootin 2 legged vermin seldom actually happens, the shooting of game animals will surfice. Only one person mentioned they actually shot anything breathing with a 38 special, and that was small game. When I was a deer and elk guide I would test out handgun bullets in recently dead animals. I recorded most of these results but lost most in my move. Last year I used a 2" model 36 using Cor-Bon 110 grn DPX bullets on an antelope that had died minutes before. I always shoot behind the last rib and angle the shot for the off shoulder, thus maximizing penatration and replicating torso shots. The 2 shots I took penatrated the entire lung cavity at it deepest point and the bullets were recovered deep in the meat of the off shoulder after penatrating the shoulder blade. Just one test. Anyone else with big game experence?

"The fact is, the .38 special was a relatively powerful cartridge."
I guess you could say that when you compare it to cartridges like the .38 S&W or .32 Long. But it depends on how you define "powerful".

I was in Law Enforcement for 17 years off and on. I carried a revolver most of that time. I never felt under gunned with a revolver, or I would have carried something else. I carried a S&W Model 28 loaded with 357 Magnum to start with, and a 4" 610 10mm with Full House Corbon last. All my gunfights were with deer hit by vehicles and one mean dog.
I personally think the change to semi autos was more driven by the perceived need to be better armed, than it was a true need. You have a high round count gun fight now and again, like the North Holywood Bank Robbery, and the Miami FBI Shoot Out. In both of these situations a Patrol Carbine was needed, and not a Hi Cap auto.
I would guarantee in most situations where a Hi Cap semi auto pistol is better than a revolver, the officer would really rather have an AR15 at his disposal.
I am now retired and have a Concealed Carry permit, and I carry almost daily. I carry an 442 Pro Moonclip Airweight J Frame 38 Special quite often. In it 125 Grain +P is a handful for me, and I shoot a lot. I would guess that a 340 M&P with 135 Short Barrel 357 would be about my limit of enjoyment.
The 135 Short Barrel 357 shot in an LCR-357 is plenty serious, but doable.
I also have a 2-1/2" and a 3" Model 66. Both are very shootable platforms.
My most shot 38 would be my Model 64-2 SSR Gun. A 158 RN over 4.7 grains of Unique is a very accurate and shootable load for IDPA Silhouettes as well as Steel.
My 686-5 is a work or art. I cannot imagine a 357 any better.
As was mentioned several times above. A 4" K Frame loaded with Full Power 158 grain 38 Special HP ammo is about all the recoil the average shooter can control well. That being 30 years ago Full Power ammo, which is probably 100 fps faster than today. For me a 13/65 or a 19/66 loaded with Full House 158 grain 357 Magnum is no fun to shoot at all. I can shoot it, and I can hit with it, but it is no fun to shoot at all.
I have worked with several Lady shooters over the years. I have gotten every one to shoot a 4" K or L frame with standard 38 Special accurately without much effort.
We have a Lady Shooter who shoots at the range almost every week with a 9mm. I had the Plate Rack set up for some BSA vendors a while back. I was taking everything down when the lady shooter showed up. I asker her if she wanted to try the plate rack while I had it out. She made a couple runs with her 9mm. I let her try my 4" HB Model 64 a couple runs. She shot it much more accurately than her 9mm. You can take it to the bank, she would be better armed with a 3" Model 65 LadySmith.
We took the daughter-in-law to the range a while back with a large assortment of handguns for her to try out, and see what she liked best. She shot something like 12 handguns. What did she like,and shoot the best. My 4" HB Model 64 that has been worked on my Ron Power.
The youngest Son got her an as new 4" HB Model 64-1, and I had Ron Power make it perfect. She now has a 4" K Frame Swiss Watch for a House Gun. And a couple Safariland Comp III Speedloaders incase 6 is not enough.
I have been on the Board at the Gun Club for 31 years. I see and work with lots of shooters. I always recommend a 4" K or L Frame revolver for Lady Shooters for a house gun. Same goes for new Men Shooters.
A DA Revolver is much easier to operate than a semi auto.
Nothing to worry about to make it work, just pull the trigger. A very simple safety, take your finger off the trigger. It will go bang 6 times without fail. It won't short cycle if you limp wrist it. Easy to load and unload. Normally more accurate than an average semi auto.
Did I mention 38 Shotshells for snakes?
I have a 45 acp Revolver, and a couple that shoot 40 S&W and 10mm. I have a couple that shoot 22 ammo for practice. I have 6 that shoot either 38 Special or 357 Magnum. You have to love those 38's.

The 38 special was never known as a manstopper. My grandfather was a cop in Milwaukee, WI during the 1920' and 1930's. He walked in to the chief one day, plopped his 38 on the chiefs desk and said " They are shooting at my with 45's I am shooting back with one". And began carrying his 1917 Colt, 45 Colt. He had a pouch full of 1/3 moon clips loaded with 45 ACP's for reloads.
My rifle and pistol are tools, I am the weapon.

And you're exactly right. A .223 or better yet, a .308 would have been perfect against riflemen in a car or bank robbers with body armor. Or a good shot with a Colt Python able to hit their face or neck.

What I meant by relatively powerful, Mr. Deputy276, and relative to other handgun rounds only, was that in absolute terms of muzzle energy, some .38 special loads were as powerful as a .45 auto. You can argue all day if you want if one were as effective as the other. No statistic can convince anyone one way or the other. I've learned that much here. It is more perception than anything else and after all, a man has to be confident in his weapon. But the .45 auto was not the only cartridge that was held to be super-powerful. Bill Jordan wrote that he never discovered where the bullet went the first time he fired a .357 magnum because he was sure the gun was pointed at the target when he closed his eyes and pulled the trigger.

The .38 Special can kill you.
It can kill the person next to you.
It can kill anyone attacking you.
It cannot protect you unless you pull the trigger.

38 Special has put countless bad guys in the ground. Six feet under ground.
Fire up the grill! Deer hunting IS NOT catch and release.

My standared answer, whenever this discussion comes up, is to quote my first firearms instructor when I went on the job. My duty gun was a Smith Mod. 10, bull barrel, in .38 Spl.
In his first lecture to us at the range, he explained that there are more powerful guns out there, and some day we might have to face one of them in the hands of someone out to do us harm. He then came out with the following statement, which I have remembered to this day.
He said,
"If you doubt the ability of the service load to protect you, it is relatively easy to double its stopping power. All you have to do is pull the trigger again. If your life is on the line, never rely on just one shot."
I have never had any problem with carrying a .38Spl., and I worked in some of the toughest neighborhoods, in one of the toughest citys in the world.
I still carry a .38 Spl. (642) on a daily basis, and do not feel, in any way, that I am, or have ever been, undergunned.
Just my opinion.
God Bless America

A 38 spcl can be shot fast in a small pistol by most people. That is what it does best. 357, 40 and 45 are too much for a lot of people to shoot fast, even with training.

I am confident enough in my 38 spcl 158 gr LSWC that it is my home defense load in my night stand gun for that dark thirty at night Bozo who wants to get hurt. It is good enough that I have hunted and shot rabbits at 7 yds to 50+ yards using both SWC and LRN. I wouldn't want to hunt deer with it but I can guarantee a small 4 legged critter with teeth and bad intentions like a feral dog, coyote or wolf would not want to get shot with it.
Good intentions will always be pleaded for any assumption of power. The Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern will, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters.

Muzzle energy doesn't kill people. And the reason Uncle Sammie went with the .45ACP was because the .38 couldn't get the job done. That's enough argument for me. The training methods for the .357 (shoot wimpy wadcutters and carry super-max loads) as well as the ammo of the day guaranteed that unless you got the BG with the first shot, you wouldn't get him with the remaining 5. As we entered the 80s, bad guys were carrying much more manageable 9MM with a lot more ammo if they missed. Police WERE outgunned, unless you lived in East Podunk, Missouri.

I love the .38 Special.
The variety of loads mean you can do just about anything with it. 148-gr. wadcutter Target loads, 158-gr. LRN or SWC hunting loads for small game or varmints, either for self-defense loads.

The .38 isn't a barn-burner. It's not much of a hunting load for things over 80lbs or so. Those are its deficiencies.
Its merits are that it's accurate, easy to control, and very effective with modern loadings. It certainly has its place, even among newer developments.
Sometimes it's nice not to destroy the world for a change.

As for the fact that American aviators were issued .38 revolvers until fairly recently, that doesn't say much for their suitability as a combat weapon. I'm a flight officer in the Navy, and the pistol I'm given when I go flying is strictly a last-ditch survival tool - effectiveness and stopping power aren't primary considerations. If I have to bail out, my new mission becomes getting myself back to friendly forces, hopefully without encountering any enemies at all. I don't transform into a ground soldier and start looking for bad guys to kill.

Just this past Sunday morning,,,
I had a guy shooting next to me with a Glock in .40,,,
I was popping away with my model 18 in .22 LR,,,
Then I changed up to my Model 15 in .38.
He asked what I just fired and I said .38 Special,,,
His snarky comment was, "I guess it's better than .22".
He was shooting a man sized silhouette and his shots were all over the place,,,
I fired and knocked over five 20-ounce water bottler with five shots
My reply was "Yep, especially when I hit what I aim for".
But seriously now,,,
We Americans have always believed that bigger is better,,,
It's a fallacy we embraced and grew to love right after we finished with World War Two.
Modern designs have replaced the ineffective lead round nose bullet,,,
Load up with HP's, SWCFP's, or even just wad-cutters,,,
The .38 special will do the job very nicely.

Offering a holistic approach, Lifting The Veil Ministries seeks to provide spiritual, emotion and social enrichment to the South Bay community.
The new ministry, founded by Pastor Byron L. Smith, worships each Sunday at 10:30 a.m., and Wednesdays at 7 p.m., at the Doubletree Hotel, 2 Civic Plaza in Carson.
"Our main objective is to encourage people, from a spiritual, social and educational context, that the veil of ignorance of what they could not be can be lifted so they can see what they can be for Christ," said the Rev. Smith.
"Our worship experience will help individuals that may come from emotional, psychological or spiritual depravity of encouragement to be inspired so that their light so shines that others will believe in the same God that we believe in," he explained.
Pastor Smith's energy, optimism and enthusiasm about his new venture may just be contagious. Since the first service on December 7, 24 people have joined the ministry and Nysa Sheney has come aboard as the music director.
Expecting growth to continue, he said, "We're hope to see people from all walks of life be a part of the ministry. We plan a multi-cultural church that will meet the needs of all nationalities from different social and cultural backgrounds. We're looking to see a very diverse group of individuals finding their way in their faith."
Diversity and faith reflect Pastor Smith's background. Previously, he led several parishes in the C.M.E. Church for 17 years including Curry Temple C.M.E. in Compton. A native of Chicago, he earned a Bachelor's degree at Chicago State University and Master of Divinity degree from Claremont School of Theology.
"Now, I am working on a second master's from Argosy University where I'll receive a degree in 2014 as a marriage family therapist. I'm also doing an internship at a Jewish rehab facility for men as a psychotherapist," he shared.
His vast experience will be an asset as Lifting The Veil Ministries prepares for a busy agenda in 2014. During January, the church will present the 'Dream Keepers Workshop' for children and youth.
"The seminar highlights the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King and emphasizes the six principles of nonviolence to teach our children that education is far more important than violence and to have a strong desire for learning and life," said Pastor Smith. Also, the 'Five Nights of Fire Revival' is set for January 20 to 25.
"Please join us and help lift the veil that someone might see Jesus," said Pastor Smith.

Favre retirement talk like a false alarm
On July 29, 2009, this newspaper's sports section had a headline that read: "ALL4NAUGHT."
It was in reference to the Minnesota Vikings "losing out" on star quarterback Brett Favre, who said he was retiring from the NFL - yet again.
"I didn't feel like physically I could play at a level that was acceptable," Favre was quoted as saying two Julys ago.
"I would like to thank everyone, including the Packers, Jets and Vikings - but, most importantly, the fans."
Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, shame on you. Fool me three times, shame on Favre.
That is why it's hard to believe Tuesday's reports that Favre is calling it a career - for the third time - and it's really going to stick this time.
Don't buy it.
Reggie Bush, the star running back for the New Orleans Saints, is another nonbeliever. The Vikings are scheduled to open the season at New Orleans on Sept. 9 in a rematch of last year's NFC title game.
Bush tweeted Tuesday: "Brett Favre suppose to make 13Mill this year...enough said! We'll see him September 9th in the Superdome!"
To think Favre would walk away at this point makes no sense.
Why did Favre have the off-season ankle surgery? Why was he playing catch with high schoolers in Mississippi this summer? Why would he let the final pass of his career be an interception? Why would he leave all that money on the table?
This latest episode in the Favre drama seems like someone pulled the fire alarm in the building and no one is leaving - because no one truly believes there is a fire.
Favre retired in March 2008, July 2009 and now reportedly in August 2010.
Favre is coming off the best statistical season of his storied career. A Super Bowl-type caliber team - set to return all 22 of its starters if good old No. 4 "un-retires" - awaits the 40-year-old gunslinger.
Don't fret, Vikings fans.
Favre will be wearing purple at some point this season, even if it's not for the season opener against the defending Super Bowl champion Saints.

(Duncan Alfreds, News24) RELATED ARTICLES EU rules: People have the right to be forgotten Obama popular in tech world, policies less so 5 must-know data security tips Cape Town - The case against Google in the EU holds wide implications for the way online publishers are meant to handle personal data, legal experts have said.The Court of Justice of the European Union (ECJ) upheld the complaint of a Spanish man who objected to the fact that Google searches on his name threw up links to a 1998 newspaper article about the repossession of his home.He had argued that he had the right to have the results linking to his case be "forgotten" by Google's search tools.Google said that the decision made search engines liable for policing human rights."This is a disappointing ruling for search engines and online publishers in general. We are very surprised that it differs so dramatically from the Advocate General's opinion and the warnings and consequences that he spelled out. We now need to take time to analyse the implications," said Google.Specific conditionsIn SA, the Protection of Personal Information Act (Popi), No 4 of 2013, gives voice to the concerns of how companies should deal with personal information."The EU decision potentially has various implications for the way in which Popi will be interpreted and applied," Dario Milo and Avani Singh, specialists on data protection at Webber Wentzel told News24.In particular, they added that there were specific conditions in terms of how the law would look on the collection of personal data by search engines like Google with respect to the EU decision."This includes, for instance, the court's finding that in exploring the internet automatically, constantly and systematically in search of the information which is published there, the operator of a search engine processes the personal information that may be contained there - regardless of the fact that the operator of a search engine also carries out the same operations in respect of other types of information and does not distinguish between whether this is personal information or not, or the fact that the personal information is not altered by the search engine."In SA, Popi specifically insists that the collection of information must be done directly from the "data subject" (people) though it does allow the collection of publically available information, such as content placed on social networks.Also, companies may collect personal data as long as "collection of the information from another source would not prejudice a legitimate interest of the data subject", says the legislation.ResponsibilityMilo and Singh argued that in SA, information placed online is the responsibility of the person posting the information or the organisation on whose behalf the information is being posted."If the individual were to place the information online at the request of a third party, for instance an employer who undertakes to secure the safety of the information, then it will be for the employer in that example to protect the personal information. "Importantly, this will be more carefully regulated once the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2014 ('Popi') is fully in force. To the extent that personal information is placed online as part of the processing of that information, Popi stipulates that it is the responsible party (that being the person or body that determines the purpose of and means for processing personal information) who bears the primary responsibility for protecting the personal information."One critical challenge in SA is that the regulator envisioned in the act has not been appointed, meaning that penalties for non-compliance has not yet been determined.- Follow Duncan on Twitter Read more about: google | internet | online privacy share:

Army's Best Instructor
During the spring, the U.S. Army acknowledged URI's teaching excellence by selecting Maj. Robert Edwards for its most prestigious teaching award, the Col. Leo A. Codd Memorial Award, which is presented each year to the most outstanding ROTC instructor from the Army, Navy, and Air Force.
"It's the best job in the world," says an exuberant Edwards, who recently concluded his three-year assignment to URI ROTC's Cramer Saber Battalion where he taught URI, Roger Williams University, and Salve Regina University students enrolled in URI ROTC. "And it's the most important. There are many ways to serve one's country.
"All the staff and instructors in URI ROTC, as well as the administrators at URI, deserve to share this great honor," he adds.
Teaching comes naturally to Edwards. A native of Fairfax, Va., he earned three degrees from Virginia Tech—a bachelor's degree in business, a master's degree in education, and an M.B.A. He was a teacher and coach in the Fairfax County public school system for eight years while in the Army Reserves before beginning active duty in 2003, which has included a tour in Iraq.
"Soldier, scholar, teacher, and mentor, he does it all with excellence and character. Robert is an outstanding representative of our Army and our University," commented Lt. Col. Paul Yager, commanding officer and department chair of military science.

They've only faced off a few times, but there is a rivalry brewing between the Minnesota Swarm and the Calgary Roughnecks.
It might be as big a war of words as a war on the floor between the National Lacrosse League teams.
New Roughnecks head coach Dave Pym is still miffed about talk he heard through the grapevine some in the Minnesota management have referred to his players as divers.
It all seems to stem from last season's meeting in Minnesota, when Ryan Sharp drilled Scott Ranger towards the end of a Riggers victory, sending the Roughnecks forward tumbling to the floor.
The words still linger in Pym's mind as the Riggers face the Swarm today at the Saddledome (3 p.m.).
"It's disrespectful of the talent, character and hard work our guys live and die by," Pym said. "Ranger has had his head taken off a few times. It incenses me someone would say it's a systemic approach to the game (to be divers). The blood and guts on this team is second to none."

TALLAHASSEE (CBSMiami/AP) — Despite the intense controversy over whether random drug testing is legal, Florida lawmakers pushed ahead with a bill Wednesday that would allow random drug testing of state workers and other public employees every three months.
A House panel voted for the bill on Wednesday even though there are questions on whether random drug testing is legal. A Senate panel is scheduled to take up a similar bill on Wednesday as well.
Gov. Rick Scott, who supports the bill, tried to order random testing of state workers last year but his actions were challenged in federal court.
Rep. Jimmie Smith, the bill sponsor, says he wants to pass the bill in order to change society's attitude toward drug use.
Rep. Jeff Clemens, D-Lake Worth, criticized the bill because it would allow the firing of public employees after one negative drug test.

Dixon Sinclair arrives in Jexville, Mississippi, the town of her forebears, to find solace, stop drinking, and rebuild her life after her father's murder. As the new publisher of the weekly newspaper and a second-generation journalist, she's determined to ignite the political will of the townspeople and expose the corruption of the old guard. She forms an uneasy partnership with Sheriff J.D. Horton, another prodigal son returned hoping to find peace and a sense of fulfillment by keeping his town safe.
Then two teenage girls disappear from a sandbar on the swift-moving Pascagoula River, and fears surface that evil lurks in the depths of the swampland - an evil consumed with rage against betrayal and an insatiable desire for vengeance. Suspicions fall on a mysterious transient, a young man running from a violent past in the Catholic Church of Mexico. Yet J.D. and Dixon discover that many there in Jexville have been betrayed, innocents suffering the sins of the fathers. Now they must find out who is willing to kill for revenge.

"Unexpectedly good audiobook"
Yes. It's a good story and does not wander nor have a lot of unneeded details which always distract me especially in a mystery.
Can't really think of another book to compare this one to, but I thought this one was very good
I thought she handled the southern accent extremely well. Lots of narrators butcher the southern accent and she seemed to be close to the characters in the book. Overall, I think she added a lot to the book - I listen to a lot of audiobooks and I know that the narrator can make or break an audiobook.
No. It made me a little sad at the end but that's because it didn't end as I expected.
This is the first of Carolyn Haines' novels that I have read or listened to. This book was recommended by a friend and it was well worth the time. I hope to find more of Ms. Haines books.

Project Description
This 11-day Africa safari and coastal exploration offers the unforgettable opportunity to witness the Safari Big 5 and Marine Big 5.
Your journey kicks off in the world-renowned Sabi Sand Game Reserve (famous for its incredible Big 5 sightings), at &Beyond Kirkman's Kamp, where you will embark on twice-daily game drives and interpretive nature walks. Afterwards, journey to South Africa's Mother City of Cape Town for a wonderful exploration of Table Mountain and the Cape Peninsula before venturing to the Cape Whale Coast region, the world's best destination to view the antics of whales. Here, you will have the opportunity to stay in the tranquil surrounds of the Grootbos Private Nature Reserve, which offers a plethora of adventures.
Start your journey in the Cape Whale Coast region with an exceptional wine tasting tour of the Hemel-en-Aarde (Heaven on Earth) Wine Route. Next, encounter the Marine Big 5 on a sensational whale watching trip, followed by an action-packed shark cage diving excursion. In between your ocean adventures you will also have the opportunity to explore your surrounds with various activities such as nature drives, horse riding, hiking, beach trips, cave explorations and quad biking.
This exceptional 11-day Africa safari and coastal exploration offers the unforgettable opportunity to witness the Safari Big 5 and Marine Big 5
Today, you will board a flight from OR Tambo International Airport to Skukuza Airport. On arrival at Skukuza Airport, you will be met by a member of our &Beyond team and driven to &Beyond Kirkman's Kamp.
More than 65 000 hectares make up the Sabi Sand Game Reserve which borders the Kruger National Park. Made up of a number of private game lodges – each one differing in atmosphere – a visit to the area guarantees a never-to-be-forgotten experience of the African Bush. With no fences between the farms (or for that matter between them and the Kruger Park), animals wander across vast stretches of grazing land as they did years and years ago. With one of the richest game populations in the country, the chances of seeing the Big 5 (lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant and rhino) are excellent. The Reserve is also home to a host of other animals – but be warned: chances are, one visit to the area, will probably lead to many more!
Spend three nights at &Beyond Kirkman's Kamp on Sabi Sand Game Reserve in a suite with ensuite bathroom. Your stay includes three meals daily, soft drinks, house wines, soft drinks, local brand spirits and beers, teas and coffee, scheduled safari activities, refreshments on game drives, nature walks (one hour) accompanied by experienced, armed trackers and laundry. A wide range of fascinating children's activities is offered at Kirkman's Kamp.
With its lush spreading lawns and down-to-earth grace, this camp is the ideal destination for a Big 5 safari in South Africa.
Explore the magnificent wilderness on twice-daily game drives in search of the Big Five, as well as a host of other fascinating creatures. The Sabi Sand is particularly well known for sightings of the normally elusive leopard, so make sure to keep an eye out for this graceful and elegant cat. The early morning game drives leave shortly after dawn, with the mysteries of the bush lying open before you. Your experienced ranger and tracker team will discuss what you hope to see prior to the drive and will do their best to find all your favourite animals for you.
After breakfast there is the option to set off on a bush walk and explore the finer details of your surroundings, from animal tracks to plants, insects and birds. Alternatively, you can just sit back and enjoy the historic atmosphere of authentic 1920s homestead
Another game drive sets off in the late afternoon, continuing after dark in search of the nocturnal habits of Africa's predators.
After your morning game drive and breakfast you will be transferred to Skukuza Airport for your scheduled domestic flight to Cape Town International Airport. On arrival at Cape Town International Airport, you will be transferred to The Twelve Apostles.
With Table Mountain – one of the most spiritual places on earth – at its heart and two oceans at its feet, the city of Cape Town, strategically situated at the south-western tip of Africa, has been famed for centuries as the Tavern of the Seas. Vibrant, cosmopolitan and an eclectic mix of old and new, this laid-back city is as much at home with its 17th century castle – whose cannons have never been fired in anger – as it is with its sleek skyscrapers and trendy malls. Home to South Africa's first Mosque, oldest wine farm, a 350 year-old garden and timelessly beautiful beaches, it's no surprise the legendary Flying Dutchman and his spectral ship have spent eternity sailing the city's shores.
Spend four nights at The Twelve Apostle in a luxury room with ensuite bathroom. Your stay includes breakfast.
Explore the scenic beauty and varied attractions of Cape Town with your choice of exciting activities.
Set out on a ferry ride to Robben Island, best known as the site of a jailhouse for political prisoners, including former South African president and Nobel Peace Prize winner Nelson Mandela. Your tour of the island is guided by a former political inmate, which means you will hear first-hand tales of its story of hope and hardship.
Indulge in a full day in the spectacular Cape Winelands, beginning with your first wine tasting on the way to Franschhoek, home to award-winning wine estates and known as South Africa's gourmet capital. Drive past the Groot Drakenstein Prison, where Nelson Mandela was incarcerated before his release and where he took his first steps as a free man. Visit the village of Franschhoek and see the Huguenot monument. Enjoy wine tasting in and around Franschhoek before stopping in the village for lunch. Continue your journey through the panoramic landscapes of the Helshoogte Mountain Pass, stopping for a third wine tasting in the area, time permitting. Your adventure ends with a leisurely stroll along the oak-lined streets of the university town of Stellenbosch, well known for its traditional Cape Dutch architecture.
Drive to the Cape's scenic Atlantic seaboard, through the beautiful suburbs of Camps Bay and Hout Bay to the popular Chapman's Peak. After snapping some glorious ocean photographs, you will continue to Kalk Bay for a delectable seafood lunch before cruising through the Constantia Winelands and heading back to the city. Depending on time availability, we can arrange a sensational wine tasting at one of the estates in Constantia.
Today, you will have the opportunity to explore the scenic city of Cape Town, beginning with a ride on the revolving cable car up to the top of iconic Table Mountain. The spectacular views over the city and the entire Cape Peninsula are utterly spectacular. If the weather is not favourable, you will have the opportunity to explore the nearby peak of renowned Signal Hill.
After breakfast a private vehicle will collect you for a scenic drive to the Cape Whale Coast region of South Africa, where you will spend three nights at in the Grootbos Private Nature Reserve. Along the way, you will have the opportunity to enjoy an off-the-beaten track wine tasting experience, as you discover various boutique wineries scattered along the beautiful Hemel-en-Aarde (Heaven on Earth) Wine Route, in the Cape Whale Coast region. The route offers a wonderful alternative to exploring South Africa's first-class wines, away from the hustle and bustle of the main wine routes of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek. Surrounded by towering mountains that stand vigil over a tranquil landscape, this must-visit destination produces some of South Africa's best bottles of chardonnay and pinot noir.
The area known as the Cape Whale Coast stretches along the southern coastline of South Africa's Western Cape Province from the coastal hamlet of Rooi-Els, west of Cape Town, to Quoin Point near Cape Agulhas. Made up of a series of spectacular bays, coves and river mouths and hemmed in by soaring mountains and valleys, it is known as one of the best places in the world for whale watching. Almost 40 species of whales and dolphins are attracted to the rich marine environment created by the meeting of the cold Benguela and warm Agulhas currents, while Southern right, Bryde's and humpback whales mate and calve in the area between June and November each year. While whale watching is definitely the main attraction, there is no shortage of other adventures in the area, from shark cage diving with great whites to hiking through mountains covered with the region's distinctive fynbos vegetation and horse riding on sandy beaches. The region's main towns include Kleinmond, Hermanus, Stanford and Gansbaai.
Flanked by the spectacular cliffs of Walker Bay, is the beautiful Grootbos Private Nature Reserve. Large, private cottages include spacious bedrooms, lovely ensuite bathrooms, air-conditioning and secluded balconies from where guests can admire the breath-taking sunsets over the Atlantic Ocean. Guests can savour hearty breakfast and lavish four-course dinners in the superb restaurant boasting sweeping views of the picturesque surroundings — the passionate chefs work their magic in transforming freshly-caught fish, succulent meats and organic produce into delectable culinary creations, perfectly complemented by award-winning Cape wines. At the end of the day, guests can head to the bar for refreshing cocktails, whilst drinking in the sweeping views from Walker Bay to Cape Point, or retreat to the cosy sitting room for a comfortable spot around the open fireplace on chilly evenings.
Spend three nights at Grootbos Private Nature Reserve in a Forest Lodge, one-bedroom Luxury Suite. Your stay includes accommodation, welcome drink served upon arrival, fresh fruit daily in-suite, breakfast buffet, light lunch, 5-course dinner, horse riding, guided walks including fynbos nature tours and milkwood walks, nature, marine, coastal drives and walks including the Walker Bay Nature Reserve, De Kelders cliff walk Klipgat Cave combined with seasonal land-based whale watching (whale watching especially during June – December), bird-watching, various maps of the reserve and the area for self-guided walks and transfers to/from all activities.
After breakfast you will be collected for an unforgettable whale watching excursion. Whales won't be the only things you'll see on this exceptional 2½ hour adventure. Your boat will launch in the quaint harbour of Kleinbaai, in Gansbaai, and will make its way toward the Pearly Beach area — which is home to the southern right whale. Afterwards, you will venture towards renowned Dyer Island for excellent penguin and seabird viewing, and then to Geyser Rock to view the curious antics of Cape fur seals. Between these two islands is the notorious "shark alley" where you may be fortunate enough to view the spectacular great white shark
After your whale watching excursion, you will have the option to spend the rest of your day exploring your surrounds with a choice of additional adventures such as horse riding in the Grootbos Reserve, embarking on a tranquil 4×4 flower safari to discover over 765 flower species within the reserve, enjoying a quad bike trip along scenic trails, hiking or venturing to an ancient cave along the rocky shores of De Kelders.
Today you will be collected for a truly memorable and action-packed shark cage diving excursion. This adventure is ideal for thrill-seekers and nature enthusiasts alike. You can experience the excitement of being face-to-face with a shark, inside the protection of a submerged cage. Your day begins early in the quaint coastal village of Gaansbaai, at the Great White House, where you can top up your energy levels, with a delicious breakfast, for the day's adventure. Safety is paramount. Guests will sit down to a brief introductory talk with a marine biologist, before being fitted with life-jackets. Snacks, soft drinks, wet suits and waterproof jackets are included.
After your adrenaline-pumping shark cage dive, you will have the option to spend the rest of your day exploring your surrounds with a choice of additional adventures such as horse riding in the Grootbos Reserve, embarking on a tranquil 4×4 flower safari to discover over 765 flower species within the reserve, enjoying a quad bike trip along scenic trails, hiking or venturing to an ancient cave along the rocky shores of De Kelders.
