I will be visiting South Africa for the second time in August and I'm having trouble deciding whether we should stay at a private lodge or do a self-drive for 3 nights.
On our last trip, we stayed at a private lodge in the Sabi Sands (Arathusa) and loved the experience, but the idea of driving ourselves throughout the park is pretty exciting. It would be a lot cheaper too. We've never driven in another country so that makes us a little bit nervous.
If we do decide to stay at a private lodge, we want to spend as little as possible so we are thinking about either the Africa on Foot camp or nThambo Tree Camp. They look fantastic!
Also, before going to Kruger, we will spend 3 nights in Chobe and 3 nights in Victoria Falls (where we will do either a walking safari or a game drive in the Zambezi National Park). We are also going to Durban for a few days after Kruger and we will probably do a day trip to the Tala Game Reserve or the Hluhluwe Imfolozi Game Reserve. Is it too much time spent on safari?
t is so hard to decide. Please help!

Kruger: Private lodge or self-drive for 3 nights?
I will be visiting South Africa for the second time in August and I'm having trouble deciding whether we should stay at a private lodge or do a self-drive for 3 nights.

Drive yourself in Kruger National Park. A totally different experience than a private safari camp. You alone explore the back roads (good wide flat gravel) and never know when you will come across a herd of eles or buffalo or zebra. But if there is a lion or leopard near road, expect to see many cars lined up.
With car rental, park fees, bungalow, gas, food, etc. budget for two (2) people about $250-$300 per day.

I calculated how much the self-drive and the private lodge would cost and there's only a 225$ total difference per person. We're friends and we're each paying for our half of the trip so it wouldn't make a big difference in our budget. Just another thing to consider. I am sure we would enjoy doing a self-drive but I think until the moment we arrive in Kruger, I would always worry about what could go wrong.

"225$ total difference per person."
Obviously depends on private camp, an &Beyond camp or MalaMala would be double that savings. (Not to mention others at 4 times!!).
Worry getting to Kruger?? No big deal, done it three times self driving from JNB. Avis rental car at JNB, 6 hour drive mostly on 4 lane divided tollway. But hey, if your mind is made up, sure, I love private camps, will do some in May, 20 days, 100% safari!!!

Self drive. Great fun, easy, you control where you go and for how long. You can spend the whole day every day out game driving if you want to. You can also take advantage of the sanparks guided game drives at sunset or after dark or even better, do a guided morning walk from one of the camps. A fantastic experience. You don't need a 4x4, a little sedan will do the job.

We love self-driving in Kruger and Umfolozi -- have done it a dozen times or more. Besides the perks mentioned by others, you'll probably meet and talk to some South Africans, not just other foreign visitors.

Well, I hate to be the red apple in a basket of green ones, but I'd have to say; private lodge.
The thing is that 3 nights is short. Basically, that's just two days and the rest is being "in transit". OK, you might be able to squeeze in an evening drive or last morning drive, but I think you know what I mean.
Depending on your own - untrained - eyes to see a decent amount of wildlife during those two days (read; enough to go home with the impression you've had your fill)... My magic 8-ball would say "outlook not so good". You certainly will not see what you saw at Arathusa.
Report Abuse
J - I agree completely. Private camps are easy. They take care of everything and generally do a great job. Self drive means you have to shop for food, supplies, etc before you go and is time consuming. For just three nights, it doesn't make sense to me. I love Kruger, but for me it is logistically much more difficult. I don't know how it can only be $225 less, but if it's not a budget-buster, I'd go private.
Report Abuse
Yes, three days in Kruger is short but we will spend three nights on safari in Botswana before, plus we plan on spending a day in the Zambezi national park in Zimbabwe. We will also spend a day on safari in a game reserve near Durban. Doing a self-drive looks great and it would be cheaper but I'm not sure it's the right thing for us. Here is the cost breakdown for two people to compare the cost of doing a self-drive versus staying at a private camp (nThambo Tree Camp or Africa on Foot)
Self-drive in Kruger
3 nights at Skukuza + daily conservation fees: 460$
Cheapest car available with insurance, gps, etc: 200$
Food, gas, supplies, optional walks or safari organized by the camp: 300$ (is it too much or too little?)
Total: 960$
Private camp (everything included):
230$ per night x 3 nights x 2 people: 1380$
So there would be about a 200$ difference per person if we go for the private lodge. Its hard to decide!

I'll certainly agree that you will see more wildlife at a private camp. Especially the big 5. If I were going safari -first- time I would spend as much, both time and $$$, I could in private camps. (Like you did before). Just that that I know nothing about camps nThambo Tree Camp or Africa on Foot. $230 per night per person is a great deal, maybe I've been paying twice too much?? That is, at &Beyond camps, Kings Camp, MalaMala?
regards - tom
ps - check both camps at Tripadvisor. Bet they got wonderful reviews, everything does at TA. Wait, I'll do it for you - "Awesome safari experience!" "Another week in paradise" "Loved it.."

I don't agree that you necessarily see more wildlife at a private camp. Self driving I have seen far more over the same time (except wild dogs) than at private camps.

tom - I know you weren't enthralled with the choices I made on my last trip, but I suggest you mix it up a bit. Yes, Timbavati has been a bust for me, but that was due to bad weather luck both times. The day before we arrived at Shindzela the group got out of the vehicle and went on foot to get closer to rhino. I am convinced that those smaller independent camps have more leeway on what they do. I appreciate that. You have three weeks - give one or two of those camps a try. It may not work out, but your expectations are low. Hopefully they'll surprise you (in a good way).
I'd be freaking out not knowing where I'm going two months out. You seem to be feeling a little pressure. Is C going with you or are you on your own?

>> Just that that I know nothing about camps nThambo Tree Camp or Africa on Foot. $230 per night per person is a great deal, maybe I've been paying twice too much?? That is, at &Beyond camps, Kings Camp, MalaMala?
I wouldn't say "twice too much". Let's keep it at "a little too much"
Seriously; MM is a league of it's own. Such a big plot. such exclusivity. And top in luxe as well.
King's Camp; idem when it comes to luxe, I assume. A bit less so if you look at exclusivity and traverse size. See the map:
I'd say other camps there are fairly similar in traverse. I don't know what Kings costs. The last time I was there, I chose Simbavati River Lodge, as it was the cheapest option of all the camps sharing their plots in the north of Timbavati. But I admit it was quite a far drive to get to a lion cub sighting on Umlani's plot. So; having traverse is one thing. The location of the lodge within the traverse area is another thing.
Now, if you compare all the above with AOF/nThambo: these two are sister camps, both on the Ross plot in Klaserie. The staff camp is in between them (but you don't see/hear it from either camp).
They share traverse with Gomo Gomo and with Baobab Ridge (the latter only by invitation). But they also share traverse with some plots up north. In total, I'd say total traverse is about similar as those camps in Timbavati.
But there's one caveat; the plots in the south are not connected to the plots in the north. And Klaserie rules forbid them to use cutline roads of plots on which they have no traverse. Hence, for lodge vehicles to get from N to S or vice versa, they need to use the asphalt road that lies in between Klaserie and Timbavati.
Personally, I don't see that as a disadvantage. It's a private road, so there's no traffic. It's quite similar to Kruger NP itself; plenty of asphalt there too. But some might say it spoils the mood a bit?
To be honest; if this is the only caveat that comes with such a fantastic price... to me it is a no-brainer. I went to AOF in 2010 and to nThambo in 2011. Going back to nThambo this year. And to Shindzela and Umkumbe too!

Hi All,
Like CB I always try new camps so I'm sure I will in May. If for no other reason than my budget is not $9K for 20 nights in Kings Camp. And sadly, no, Carolyn not going with me (other plans) so I have to lug all my camera kit myself . Also means being solo so the dreaded SS can bite my camp $$ rates. I will be looking at all options in Timbavati and Sabi Sand and admit I'm a bit nervous about what I will find in mid-April for May. But it's an approach (super late booking) I've been curious about so now seems a good time to try. If I get too frustrated by process I'll try Sun Safaris as PP recommends. I'm not looking forward to calling camps, talking with reservation clerk, getting the standard published rate, then asking clerk if I can talk to camp manager about a better deal. I'm not much of a "horse trader".
Whatever the traversing rights, so much still depends on where the critters are moving about. I wish I had PP's trip report for his soon safari at those camps before mine starts. More ideas, suggestions, always appreciated, thanks.

We are also going to Durban for a few days after Kruger and we will probably do a day trip to the Tala Game Reserve or the Hluhluwe Imfolozi Game Reserve. Is it too much time spent on safari?
Are you self-driving and camping in Chobe? At Ihaha campsite? If it were me, I would spend only two nights in Vic Falls and put the extra night into Chobe - maybe two nights in the park at Ihaha campsite and two nights on safari on the Chobe River on a house boat - a fabulous experience, which will offer you a bit of variation. See:
I am not familiar with Tala, but Hluhluwe Imfolozi is fabulous. However, it is a long drive from Durban, and it would therefore be difficult to visit the reserve on a day trip from Durban. CR

Well, I'm there end of April until half March. So that's about the same time s you, no?

I suggest you skip Tala. If you are talking about the Tala less than an hour away from Durban. It is a lovely place, but it is small and would be a disappointment after Chobe and Kruger. Rather spend another day in Kruger. There is another Tala, closer to Mozambique, but that is far from Durban 4-5 hours. Have never been to that one, but hear good things. It is defininitely not a trip from Durban, but could be done en route from Kruger to Durban.

PP - "Well, I'm there end of April until half March. So that's about the same time s you, no?"
(You mean "half May", of course?)
I leave LAX May 6th, arrive JNB May 8th, leave JNB May 28th. So probably do overlap you. Thus I'll be there before you have returned home and made report?? I think you're from Belgium, so I'll ask around for Belgium Johan. You ask for Tom Graham

Well now I'm thinking since we're already going to Botswana and Victoria Falls, we should maybe spend 3 nights in the Hwange National Park instead of Kruger. It looks pretty good! Any lodges we should recommend?

No, but I like the idea. Don't "waste" any more time or $$ on transfer travel (JNB to Kruger?) than you have to.

I saw the big five in Kruger last year in less than 10 hours in the park.
tom, I saw the response from Kim on the other thread. If its true they don't care about residency, it looks like a no brainer. I can't haggle either. I thought Carolyn was joining you. SS stinks - but doing this last minute thing may be genius. Can't wait to finish school, get a job and be able to travel again!!

Kruger. CB you saw the big 5 in less than 10 hours. I was there two weeks before seeing one leopard and have never seen rhino. I must be looking in wrong places . Yes I believe people in Kruger see much wildlife because there are many many people looking. But I'm still not convinced that the density of big 5 sightings in Kruger is anywhere close to say MalaMala. Besides, in Kruger a big cat usually stacks cars on both sides of the road. Have seen that in Kruger!! Anyway . . . . . on to . . .
mtbeds. But pixelpower on another thread says his looking into mtbeds really didn't turn up much worth considering. And pp has researched (and written) a lot into camp costs and deals in the Greater Kruger Area. A good sounding name, mtbeds, but little useful substance. Assuming I'm reading pp correctly. There are many camps with no SS up front and if for ones that do, I can't get them to at minimum waiver SS in May, then my plan is in trouble. Waivering SS should be the easiest rate break they could give me? But I'm hoping/planning for more.

Hey guys,
Don't get me wrong; MTbeds can be great. But only in low season imho, and if you have plenty of time. MTbeds has deals with lodges to sell bednights that are not filled up. It's like a last-minute for safaris.
Thing is this; if a) you only have 10-14 days to be there, and if b) those days are fixed (because of your international flights which you better book way in advance), would you jeopardize a day or two to find the right lodges at reduced prices?
Because that's what you need to do; you land in Jo'Burg, you need to book a hotel there, and then you need to assemble your safari there and then. So then starts a puzzle-work of fitting in lodges that still have availability. You need to find lodges that have beds free during consecutive days. Otherwise you're not on safari, but more like in constant transit from one lodge to another. And speaking of transfers; that all needs to be arranged too.
Doesn't sound like a plan to me, if that's the way one goes about filling in their hard-earned vacation days.
When I'm retired, perhaps I will consider them. Go for one month, fix my 1st week of safari with them, and start my safari. Then, during non-game-drive time, I can continuously fill up my remianing days a few at a time, with lodges that are nearby. All I have to do is keep an eye on their website.
About big 5 in Kruger; I can do better than that! On my first game drive in Kruger I saw the big five in less than three hours. But if you think that means that Kruger NP in better in quality; think again. None of the sightings were comparable with what I'm used to in private reserves. The worst was the leopard; 30 mins in a bush jam to see a tail dangling from a tree.
Report Abuse
We were incredibly lucky then. As we were driving into the park for the first time, we saw a leopard walking on the road, by ourselves. At least five minutes with it- great sighting, maybe our best leopard. The next morning we saw, with a car jam, a pride of 9 lionesses and their sub adult children, and when we left that mess, had a male sighting on the road again to ourselves. We then found a rhino mom and baby and had them to ourselves for at least an hour. I was a bit of a lunatic. No cars ever passed. It was closer to 16 hours. Next day we got in a buffalo jam. Hundreds of buffalo crossing the road. We even saw honey badgers - again alone, while we were trying to intercept a rhino. Kruger was spectacular.
Jochen has a point - if there are only two nights available at a bunch of camps, that could be inconvenient. But you are going in low season, so that might not happen. I'd chance it, knowing I could still get availabilty at camps without a deal. Isn't that what credit cards are for - emergencies?!

I second canadian_robin with regards to the Ichobezi Safariboats. It is really a fantastic experience. Here is a video I made on my first trip with them. I have since done many more as it really is a fantastic experience. Hope this helps.
Happy Safaris

Interesting idea J. I will be there 19 nights. So, before I leave home have a camp reserved for first 5-6 nights. Then when there start calling around to fill the remaining 12-13 nights. And hope I don't get tossed out into the bush for a night Actually, if I had to sleep in visiting guide quarters bunk for a night or two would not be so bad. I've done the hostel dormitory thing. Just feed me . Again I'm thinking this may only work because low season. And yes, like CB says, that's what credit cards are for, back-up plan B!!!

You set out to search for for tips related to internet marketing, however you have reached the end of your journey. This article will supply you with all that you need to know to succeed. In this day and age it is important to stay on top of all the latest trends and this is the perfect way to do so.
Keyword-tracking software can greatly enhance the effectiveness of affiliate marketing programs. Such software lets webmasters see which pages on their websites are visited by surfers looking for particular keywords. With this information a website owner can tailor such pages to direct his or her visitors to affiliates that offer the products or services that will interest them most.
Pick a high-quality product. If you recommend a product that is of poor quality, it will reflect back on you as a promoter. The last thing you want people to believe is that you purposely recommended a product that doesn't work. If you wouldn't trust it, don't ask your readers to!
Do not get caught out advertising products for a merchant that will not ship to your website's visitors. On the Internet it is easy to forget how big the world is, and not all of the online marketing partners you can join up with ship all the way around that world. Do not waste time on an advertiser that cannot ship to countries where the majority of your visitors live.
To promote your web marketing products most effectively, you can write a free book or paper on the topic and give it away on your website. You can also convert it into Kindle format and offer it for little to no money on the Amazon site. This will create more interest in your product.
A great affiliate promotion tip is to keep your web site design simple. Though it may be tempting to pick a special font to make your web site unique, it can also be very irritating to your visitors. Most visitors would rather see a standard font than a crazy one.
Join a two tier affiliate program that can provide you with a steady income source that doesn't require a lot of effort. In two tier plans, you make a small commission on every product that the affiliate underneath you makes which will generally net you a steady income stream.
There is little in web marketing that is more important than patience. Establish a long term view of the internet marketing system and make a commitment to stick it out for a while. This will help you build a successful business and provide you the information to do it right.
After you have learned as much as you can about how the online marketing program works, put it all to work for you. Do not hurry yourself to start earning instantly. It may take you months before you make any money. Do not throw all of the time that you have spent building this site away. Stick it out, and you may be surprised.
Before choosing an web marketing program, read as many reviews about the company itself as you can. While it is important to read reviews about the affiliate program too, the reviews of the entire company will give you a good idea of the behavior of the company toward their customers. A company that treats its customers poorly, will not receive repeat business, which means no repeat commission for you.
Try developing an audience before you even start selling to them. Lets say you are going to be promoting a new tool for article marketing. Start recording and posting videos of yourself giving advice and tips about article marketing. After you have posted a few videos and built up a following, then create a video promoting your product. By that point you have shown yourself to have knowledge in the product you are promoting.
In conclusion, you cannot go wrong with the advice that you have just read in regards to internet marketing. Out of all of the information out there, you should find that this is your number one source. Hopefully you can use the advice given to you in your own plan and find success.

25 Feb, 2015, a date to remember...I was so nervous, so afraid....I never experienced this before.... my future looked deemed and I could hardly see anything otherwise because my eyes were wet out of the overwhelming grip of fear and anxiety.
I tried to be as positive as possible, hosting on even the smallest positivity around me. My dad's faith in me and my faith in the work I did till now...all helped me steer through. Everything and Everyone I could have possibly been grateful for....I thanked them all in my heart to get an uplifting feeling. To start with... I thanked for the new day itself, as it is like an opportunity to make things better, the sun for its warmth in the breezy cool morning, the train for coming on time and directly taking me to my destination, my sound health...that is sound even after literally stretching it to its limits after burning oil for the entire night...skipping meals and forgetting to even stand and stretch as I worked on my project... Yet, I knew I have fallen short...and I could recall every minute of every day when I could have done what I was supposed to be doing so that I won't have seen this day.
Time stood before me stretching its arms flashing my life in past, present and future...making me apprehensive on one hand and still trying to think and feel positive on the other.
Miraculously enough, the gratitudes I gave, turned back to me as the day passed and the events took a turn for better and better...and I couldn't be more thankful... The turmoil of mad waves in my mind gradually calmed down to serene waves of a quite sea. My journey back home was full of content and more gratitude. Yes...gratitude works like magic. You don't have to think about and be prepared for the worse to achieve your the best...You only have to thank for what you already have to become your best. What goes unsaid is a conscious and sincere effort towards whatever you are passionate about. Life is beautiful indeed. Live every moment in gratitude and it will only get better.

It's been entirely too long since my last post...where on earth DOES the time go?! I have been working on several projects, each different and beautiful in its own right.

Completely handcrafted by me, with special touches for the originality you desire, this piece measures approx. 4 1/2" H x 6 3/4" W. There is a sweet vintage image of a child angel praying (framed in vintage trim), a beautiful rolled muslin rose with a handbeaded center, a bit of tulle and furry trim adorning the piece. The word "Faith" is cross stitched, and there are also rusty dressmaker pins, and vintage style buttons adding charm. The back is a beautiful teastained cotton calico print, as pictured below.

Unanswered: XML importing/exporting V8 UDB
Would like to explore importing/exporting data via XML extensions in DB2 V8 in order to simulate import/export utilities.
Essentially we have created Ant Tasks to open JDBC connections to DB2 databases and read ASCII del files partically simulating the import (insert and insert_update operations only) utility. However, parsing of the del files is not as clean as I would like and there is internal convertion of data types done by import that I have faked which is not 100% tested. Basically, I wish IBM provided a JDBC set of classes to perform imports/exports (maybe there exists an API written for JAVA so if anybody knows of one please fire me information). Anyway, the parsing and extra processing of del files isn't exactly extendable to IXF file types. And import simulation transforms insert and insert_update operations into individual insert/update SQL statements. Plus I have no current solution for handeling CLOB or BLOB objects.
What would be nice is if the XML extenders for V8 where mature enough to export/import.
Anybody seen good websites describes a similar process or redbooks or have any spontanious ideas?

"I'm 11-years-old, from the city, and my parents are mean alcoholics. One day the deputy takes me away to live with some distant relatives on their sprawling farm in the country. At the Larsen farm, I meet my Uncle Knute and Aunt Clair and their two children, Glennis and her wild brother Harris. I also meet Louie, the crusty old guy who works as a farmhand and steals all the pancakes at breakfast. Harris introduces me to life on the farm, and it proves to be a rude awakening. From getting up before dawn to be kicked in the groin by a cow, to wrestling in the mud with slimy pigs, this is turning out to be quite the experience. Best-selling author Gary Paulsen is acclaimed for his many novels for young adults. This rollicking tale set just after WWII features action and laughs galore, and is sure to appeal to even the most reluctant readers.
©1993 Gary Paulsen (P)2007 Recorded Books
"A hearty helping of old-fashioned, rip-roaring entertainment." (Publishers Weekly)
"In stitches start to finish."
Paulson delivered once again. My children and I laughed all the way through. Some minor swearing. Probably best for children older than twelve.
"The Miracle Elixir (If laughter is best med)"
Oh YES!!! I grew up in small-town Utah, and while we weren't as wild as Harris, the environment and some adventures were very familiar. It is a fun read that so many can relate to from their youth. It is a fun and purely realistic and hilarious listen. Please, please buy and listen to (or buy and read) this book. I want everyone to enjoy this. I initially came across it after it was passed around the entire extended family on my wife's side, with all of us who read it spending most of the read laughing out loud and with tears rolling down our faces. This is a MUST LISTEN!! You will be happy when you are done (and all the way through).
Harris!! (Buzzer was a close second)
Yes, and you can as it is only about 4 hours long.
Just listen. I am not trying to sell this for Gary Paulson, I just want everyone to enjoy this. It is so much fun to envision the hilarious antics of these two young boys in small mid-west USA in the 1950's.
"All Around Brilliant"
One summer on a farm changes everything for a city boy. The book's touching and hysterical and completely wonderful. The performance is pitch-perfect. Worth more than one listen.
Amazing! Overall great performance! I love it!
There was nothing I disliked. Me and my brother loved it! We laughed so hard we fell over. Best book ever!
"One of my favorites"
I read this book while I was in elementary school and still loved it now when I'm 25. One of my favorite short book which keeps you laughing the whole time. Parents be advised there is mild cursing, but it's pretty mellow for today's standards

Mao Tun Trilobite
These small species of trilobites were found in 2007 by Mr Zuo, after a careful detection by the trilobite experts Yuan Jinliang( who works in Nanjing Institute of Geology and Paleontology,) It was identified as the first complete clover sample in this species. Belongs to Cambrian Zhang Xia order, Middle Cambrian, about 510 million years ago, Well known as the finest one of the Chinese trilobite by the majority of fossil enthusiasts,
This insect has two different color: blackboard and yellow-green board, There is a beautiful overlying a thin film which metasomatism by calcium carbonate, and the different colors were from different minerals formed in.
The film will be broken up while splinting the fossil, less than one percent could be well preserved. In fact, this film is not a trilobite entity itself, under the black membrane covering that is the trilobite entity, the casting of this film is just calcium carbonate, so the loosing of film did not affect itself. Of course the more complete the film more significant looking trilobite is.
Age: the Cambrian
Name: Mao Tun Trilobite.
Origin: Shandong State
Size of the Trilobite:18.2x14.8 mms
Size of the Stone:87x81x6.3 mms
Weight of the stone: 51 Gms

Chae, J. & Nenkova, A., Predicting the Fluency of Text with Shallow Structural Features: Case Studies of Machine Translation and Human-Written Text, 12th Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics, March-April 2009, doi: anthology/E09-1017
Sentence fluency is an important component of overall text readability but few studies in natural language processing have sought to understand the factors that define it. We report the results of an initial study into the predictive power of surface syntactic statistics for the task; we use fluency assessments done for the purpose of evaluating machine translation. We find that these features are weakly but significantly correlated with fluency. Machine and human translations can be distinguished with accuracy over 80%. The performance of pairwise comparison of fluency is also very high—over 90% for a multi-layer perceptron classifier. We also test the hypothesis that the learned models capture general fluency properties applicable to human-written text. The results do not support this hypothesis: prediction accuracy on the new data is only 57%. This finding suggests that developing a dedicated, task-independent corpus of fluency judgments will be beneficial for further investigations of the problem.

The world's largest aircraft Airlander 10 is preparing for its first commercial flight.
Airlander 10 started as US Army project which was developed in 2009. But, after project was dropped by US Army, Airlander 10 started moving towards commercial use.
It is a combination of balloon and hovercraft. With its length of 90 meters is just a little bit smaller than a footboall playing field. It is being assembled by Hybrid Air Vehicles company in UK.
The first flight of Airlander 10 is planned to take a place in Cardington in Befordshire, United Kingdom.
If everything goes right, the Airlander 10 should take off for its first flight over A1M motorway in Cardington. The craft could be used successfully for passenger flights, cargo transport, surveillance etc.
This aircraft can stay in air for about five days and can reach the maximum speed of 80 knots. If flying without passengers, this aircraft can stay in air for about three weeks.
It can take and land off vertically, doesn't need an airport and can be landed even on water.

Chugging Cinnamon Is Bad For You
CHICAGO (AP) — Doctors say cinnamon is best taken in small doses as a seasoning and the so-called cinnamon challenge fad should be avoided in any case. The fad involves daring someone to swallow a spoonful of ground cinnamon in 60 seconds without water. But the spice is caustic, and trying to gulp it down can cause choking, throat irritation, breathing trouble and even collapsed lungs.

When my friend Kara, asked me to help her with their rehearsal dinner, I jumped at the chance to help bring her vision of the perfect rehearsal dinner to life. One reason was because this is the only aspect of the wedding I will probably be helping with.
She was thinking of hosting a backyard BBQ inside, that means, the boys cook the meat and we get to enjoy it in comfort, indoors. She had something similar when she was invited to her for his cousin's rehearsal dinner.
There weren't a lot of restrictions laid down, just some guidelines that she wanted to go with which meant that we had a blank canvas to work with.
So we tried to incorporate a lot of details to make the venue look like a ranch style BBQ. Even though it was being held in the groom's living room. One reason she picked this is because the groom is a real cowboy from Texas, he's a transplant up here and he ins't yet accustomed to the colder weather. Though he has said it can get pretty cold in Texas, I still do a little poo-poo and think that I could handle the temps. It's the poisonous snakes that scare me.
Anyway, we really had our work cut out for us to make this event look as authentic as possible!
Kara found most of the glass and other decor materials at IKEA.
I love IKEA since it has everything that you could ever want/need/use for just about any occasion and half of my living room is decorated from their showroom. I also helped her make all of the beautiful printable signs. I know, I am amazing right? I picked up a few globe lights are from Target. And used some Trader Joe's to round out the decorations.
She paid for more of the decorations, mainly because she knows I am broke, and partially because her parents were giving her some money to get things organized. Her dad has always been super generous with her which makes me a little jealous. Mine is loving but tight fisted.
The only thing that I really ended up paying for were the rehearsal dinner invitations which was fine because I got them pretty cheap. And the design really nailed the whole cowboy/BBQ/manly theme that Kara wanted and I looked totally like a hero in her eyes. So that was nice.
I am not certain how big the normal, and I say "normal" rehearsal dinner is, probably more, we had twenty people in the end that came. And it was a lot of fun. The food was good, Kara was happy, and that meant that I was also super happy. She was a little nervous since it was the second time she met her fiance's parents. And since the rehearsal dinner is the "first impression", the first night to celebrate and spend time with those closest to you and your fiance, there was a lot of weight on her perfect shoulders.
It is nice when things work out.

Vasa Museet, Gamla Stan(Old Town), Royal Band playing 'YMCA' wtf???
Stockholm Travel Blog› entry 7 of 22 › view all entries
After a night of drinking, I woke up later than I was supposed (what a shocker). My goal for the day was to see Gamla Stan(Old City) and Vasa Museet, the Swedish vessel that sank in 1628, they found it after 300 years underwater...
Old Town is gorgeous, very well kept up and really gives off a feeling you are more in Eastern Europe than Scandinavia (mostly because the other countries are no comparison to Stockholm). Daniel, Max, and I went to the Royal Palace and got there just in time for the changing of the guard. Now I know that alot of tourists find it interesting but I find it boring and a complete waste of personnel and years of training. So after the guards do their little dance or whatever and the Royal Band plays the national anthem, we are about to leave when we all of a sudden hear something awful.
Ok now to the Vasa Museet, it was the highlight of my day, the ship is amazingly over 95% original!!! The ship is in great detail and its just amazing to see something like this upclose. Apparently the ship never even left the harbor for its maiden voyage, it was too heavy and sank in the harbor (atleast Titanic was an accident, this was just a screw up by the designer lol) But you still marvel at its size and beauty :)
You can view the ship from many levels, up high, and even walk right next to the bottom of the ship. The creepy part is that when raising the ship out of the water, they did discover over 20 bodies of the crew and decided to put the bones on display RIGHT NEXT TO THE SHIP!

Pope appeals for support for earthquake victims
Pope Benedict appealed for "swift and generous" aid for all those affected by the earthquake which devastated South Asia on Saturday. Speaking during his Sunday audience in St Peter's Square yesterday, he told pilgrims: "It was with deep sadness that I learned of the earthquake, which caused such great damage and loss of life in Pakistan, India and Afghanistan." The Holy Father said he was entrusting the dead "to God's loving mercy" and expressed condolences to the injured and bereaved. He said: "I pray that the international community will be swift and generous in its response to the disaster, and I ask the Lord to grant courage and strength to those involved in the task of rescue work and reconstruction."

The A1R features Yamaha's advanced SRT pickup system, designed to allow players to access sounds that previously were only available in professional studios.

The result is a recording and performing tone of the highest quality, available to every player.
Yamaha A-Series
This guitar is part of Yamaha's A-series range, the result of thousands of hours of development, prototyping, evaluations and field-testing combined with more than 50 years experience in crafting guitars. The A-Series construction was designed with input from players, luthiers and technicians with one goal in mind - to produce stunning tone. Rosewood provides striking low frequencies and sparkling highs, and the resonant dreadnought body assures a well projected and assured voice. This tone is then rendered and modelled by a 3-band EQ and preamp system, producing a studio-quality sound wherever you go.

Mystery solved of whereabouts of Nazi who invented mobile gas-vans to kill Jews
ALOIS Brunner – who invented mobile gas-vans to kill Jews during the Second World War – met his death in a squalid cellar in Damascus 16 years ago.
Mystery solved of whereabouts of Nazi, Alois Brunner, who invented mobile gas-vans to kill Jews
The fate of Brunner has been one of the lingering mysteries left over from he Second World War.
Today, a French magazine reported that the man, who described Jews as "human garbage", met his end in the country which gave him sanctuary after 1945.
Veteran Nazi-hunter Serge Klarsfeld said from his Paris home that he had read the report in the magazine XXI and found it "highly credible".
Brunner, who was 88 in 2001, was one of the most notorious of Nazi killers during the Holocaust which claimed six million Jewish lives.
Brunner was Adolf Eichmann's right-hand man
[Brunner] suffered and cried a lot in his final years. Everyone heard him. In the end he couldn't even wash himself
Until a few years ago he occupied the number one slot of most wanted war criminals on a list compiled by the Simon Wiesdenthal Nazi hunting organisation in America.
Brunner was the right-hand-man to Adolf Eichmann, the supreme logistician of the Holocaust of who plotted the transports across Europe to the extermination camps in occupied Poland.
Brunner was the inventor of mobile "gas vans" – innocent looking lorries whose passenger compartments were sealed.
Exhaust gas from the engine of the trucks fed back into the van, killing all its occupants.
The vans operated outside of ghettoes and concentration camps in eastern Europe before the static killing factories like Auschwitz went on-line.
The vans operated outside of ghettos and concentration camps before Auschwitz went on-line
Brunner was also personally responsible for rounding up at least 130,000 Jewish men, women and children in France and had them shipped off for extermination.
He fled to Syria after the war where the regime sheltered him for decades.
Israeli agents managed to send him parcel bombs on two occasions which wounded him but did not end his life.
Now three ex-members of the Syrian secret service who he tutored in torture and clandestine police work have confirmed to XXI that his remaining years were spent in "miserable and squalid" conditions beneath an apartment block in Damascus
One of his guards called Omar said that Brunner, who went by the name of Abu Hussein, "suffered and cried a lot in his final years. Everyone heard him. In the end he couldn't even wash himself.
"All he had to eat were army rations -- awful stuff -- and an egg or a potato. He had to choose one or the other."
Klarsfeld, whose father was murdered in Auschwitz, once flew to Damascus in the 1980s to plead with the Assad regime to give Brunner up for trial in the west.
"I am satisfied to learn that he lived badly rather than well in exile," sáid Klarsfeld after the magazine was published on Wednesday.
"XXI's investigation is highly credible. They have questioned someone who knew him at close quarters," he added.
Brunner left Germany for Egypt in 1953 with a passport in the name of Georg Fischer and worked for a time as a gun-runner for Algerians fighting to throw off French colonial rule in their country.
Then he moved on to Damascus where he passed on all the terrible interrogation and torture techniques of the Gestapo he had learned during the Third Reich.
Convicted by French courts in absentia to death, he lost and eye and four fingers in the two Mossad bomb attacks, but nothing diminished his love of Nazism or his hatred of the Jews.
In a 1987 telephone interview with the Chicago Sun-Times in 1987 he stated that he didn't regret his part in the Holocaust. "All of them deserved to die because they were the devil's agents and human garbage. I have no regrets and I would do it again."
According to XXI, Brunner was practically under house arrest in his apartment in the diplomatic quarter of Damascus from 1989 onwards. He was moved into the basement by the Assad regime for unspecified "security reasons".
"Once he was in the room, the door was closed and never opened again," Omar told the magazine.
He claimed Brunner was buried secretly in accordance with Muslim rites in the city's Al-Affif cemetery in December 2001.
"In a dictatorship like Syria, he was untouchable as long as the dictator didn't want rid of him," said Klarsfeld.
"Until the end he kept his hatred of Jews intact, as well as his faith in National Socialism," he added. "He was someone who hated France as much as he hated Jews."
In 2011 it was learned Nazi hunters were foiled in 1989 from capturing him by the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Lost Art Koordinierungsstelle MagdeburgTue, November 19, 2013
These handout photos are provided by the Lost Art Koordinierungsstelle Magdeburg, the German government agency charged with documenting and ascertaining the origins of artworks appropriated by the Nazis between 1933 and 1945. The works are among 25 shown on the Lost Art website and among the approximately 1,400 works German authorities confiscated from the Munich residence of Cornelius Gurlitt, son of Hildebrand Gurlitt, an art dealer who worked for the Nazis
The East German state was poised to get back Brunner from his exile in Syria when the country imploded, and with it the last chance to make him answer for his crimes.
Documentation came to light that showed Damascus was prepared to send him back to the German Democratic Republic in return for trade deals and money.
The details of the negotiations were found by journalists working for the Austrian news magazine Profil which discovered them in the archives of the old Stasi secret police of East Germany in Berlin.
"Brunner, Alois, will likely be extradited from Syria to the GDR," read a Stasi document from 1988.
Another document from April 1989, quoting former East German foreign minister Oskar Fischer, went on: "Comrade Erich Honecker has arranged for the GDR general prosecutor to initiate the necessary measures to prepare for criminal proceedings against Brunner in the event that he arrives in the GDR."
However, the fall of the Berlin Wall in November 1989 severed contacts between the two regimes and put paid to the extradition plans.

NWN Releases
As the band approaches its tenth year in existence, Villains continues to explore the depths of debauchery on the bands fourth full-length album. Just as the hangover induced by the release of 2011s Road to Ruin is wearing off and the DTs set in, Villains delivers another sickening display of vile and reprehensible conduct with the sagely titled new album, Never Abandon the Slut Train. By now it is safe to say that, with its unique breed of Street Metal, Villains has established itself as the most prominent ambassador of urban depravity in the underground. Imbued with wanton contempt for the rigors of the social order, this album depicts the crude ardor of vice and alcoholic obsession. Never Abandon the Slut Train is easily the most consistent and focused Villains recording to date in terms of both composition and production. As with the bands previous releases, the Villains sound is not easily categorizable as the band incorporates various elements of Black, Death, Thrash, and Heavy metal. Villains ascribes to no regimented formula, selecting, instead, the appropriate tools for the appropriate purposes. The end result is simply a phenomenal Metal record without conforming to the tropes and rules confining the various metal subgenres. Every riff on this album is drenched in disdain for the sobriety of day and a reverence for the Dionysian decadence and unbridled destruction heralded by nights call. Villains music dwells in that span of hours devoid of memory during which ambition manifests itself in the handing out of unrestrained chin-checks and the indiscriminate hunt for feminine submission until the haze of morning reveals the broken remnants of the nights revelry.

ANGAD PAUL, son of the Labour peer Lord Paul of Marylebone, looks like an entrepreneur worth keeping an eye on.
Paul - the executive producer of the films Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch - has been bankrolled by his father to launch an "ethical" cable television channel. Called Unity, it will screen "alternative" news and documentaries.
The project recently hit problems, however, after Paul approached one Tony Buckingham in search of further investment. Buckingham, it emerges, was a driving force behind Sandline, the firm behind the 1998 "arms-to-Africa" affair in Sierra Leone.
On learning that their "ethical" company could soon be entering a commercial relationship with Buckingham, two of Unity's co-founders resigned.
A well-known Left-wing polemicist, who had been advising on programme content, also severed his ties. "The channel was a good idea, but I soon realised that they were not taking the business in the direction I had hoped," he says.
Angad Paul admits approaching Buckingham, but says, "We didn't take it any further when we learnt of his background. Ethics is a strange word. It means different things to different people."

"The Enterprise Canada Network could be described as the eHarmony for exporting businesses," says Philip Turi, National Director, Global Business Services at Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters (CME). "And like any online matchmaking site, you'll attract more attention and the kind of partnerships you're looking for if you pay careful attention to crafting your online profile."
The Enterprise Canada Network (ECN) was created by CME in partnership with Export Development Canada (EDC) as a comprehensive matching platform that connects Canadian firms to foreign customers, as well as qualified international business and technology partners. The initiative represents a collaboration of more than 600 partner organizations in more than 50 countries, including foreign chambers of commerce, innovation centres and universities.
"From our surveys, we know that finding new international business partners has been consistently identified as one of our members' greatest challenges, second only to managing exchange-rate risk," says Turi. Through the ECN, Canadians can tap into more than 21,000 opportunities to exchange skills, services or technologies with partners around the globe.
Since ECN's launch in the fall of 2014, over 1,100 companies have joined by registering on the site, more than 65 business connections have been made and over 73 companies have completed Opportunity Profiles to proactively seek new international partners.
Turi notes that Canadian companies can increase their chances for a successful match by ensuring their online ECN profile creates a clear, concise and positive impression, with pertinent information clearly defined in the most appropriate template fields.
When a company registers on ECN, information about their company, as well as their current and future exporting strategy, is requested. This information is not made public, but instead is used by the ECN team to proactively identify potential opportunities that might be of interest to the company.
Through ECN, companies also have the ability to submit their own Opportunity Profile for publication on the network. This allows companies to promote their product or service, as well as seek products or services they are in need of. All of the Opportunity Profiles are non-identifying, to protect the poster from unwanted solicitation and from disclosing competitive information.
"A well written Opportunity Profile certainly attracts greater interest, but people also consider a well-crafted profile to be a reflection of the quality of your work in general," says Nancy MacKneson, National Operations Manager with CME. "If you take the care to create a good profile, that attention to detail signifies your level of professionalism to potential customers."
MacKneson adds that partners who review the published Opportunity Profiles to find a match usually first scan the introductory sections of profile; if those details look promising, they will open the full profile to read the rest. It's therefore important to ensure the right information is placed in the optimum areas of the profile template to take advantage of this process.
Download a tip sheet to craft your ECN profile
To help make it easier, CME has created a downloadable tip sheet that gives a broad overview of the most important tips to follow. While filling out the Opportunity Profile template, there are also handy "help" buttons that further explain requirements.
"The time it takes to make a strong Opportunity Profile—about half an hour—is well worth the effort," says MacKneson. "This is an investment in your business, and it will save you time in the long run and help you to attract the most appropriate matches more quickly."
