orphan date December 2007 The North West Cultural Calabash is a youth based arts festival held annually in the village of Lokaleng , greater Taung , North West Province, South Africa . It was initiated by Hendrik Baird in 1994 as a celebration of cultures and coincided with the democratic elections in the country. The name symbolises the African tradition of using a Calabash as a means of feeding people. By putting the various South African cultures in a melting pot, it was hoped that a new culture would emerge to feed the nation. The Cultural Calabash started as a one day event and soon found a sponsor in the Transnet Foundation, the country s transport parastatel. This sponsorship enabled the Calabash to grow and bear fruit. Soon the North West Provincial Government in the Department of Sport, Arts and Culture came on board as a funder, enabling the event to prosper and grow. The Cultural Calabash is a unique arts festival in that it sets out to discover new talent. Through a series of Provincial auditions held at local municipal level, amateur and semi professional artists are identified in drama, dance and music. The winners in each category take part in four District Previews, where only the best are selected to participate at the Main Festival held traditionally during the last week end of Space. From its humble beginnings, the Calabash has grown to encompass twenty two auditions, four District Previews and a four day main Festival. Professional artists like Louis Mhlanga jazz , Zola kwaito and others draw thousands of people to the rural village of Taung in search of entertainment and fun. Being a youth based event, it does not promote alcohol, but strives to give its participants and audience a healthy alternative, at the same time promoting safe sex practices in a country ravaged with HIV Aids. The Calabash is a project of the Mmabana Arts, Culture and Sport Foundation. The Calabash is currently not presented by the Mmabana Foundation after Transnet stopped ... more details

Dottle is the wet and sour smelling mass of unburned tobacco found at the bottom of a tobacco smoking pipe tobacco pipe . Dottle is produced by a combination of two reasons, first the smoker is a wet smoker , that is, he pushes a considerable amount of saliva down the stem and into the bowl, and second the tobacco being smoked is excessively moist. Puffing too fast can also be a factor depending on the humidity of the tobacco. The foul liquid that collects at the bottom of a pipe results in gurgling and can be accidentally sucked up. Pushing a pipe cleaner down the stem can remedy this problem to a point. Dottles are generally considered troublesome because they lessen the time one may spend smoking a bowl. Dottles can also give a sour taste to the smoke as it is approached by the hot ember. If dottle is not promptly pipe tool removed after smoking , the pipe may eventually give a foul taste to any tobacco smoked in it. When this happens, pipe sweetening is required. Some pipes are designed to specifically lessen or prevent the formation of dottle and excessive moisture. The most common are the Smoking pipe tobacco Calabash calabash pipe and the Dry System pipes made by Peterson Pipes Peterson . In the Sherlock Holmes stories, Sherlock had a habit of drying out all the dottles from the day s pipes on a corner of his mantelpiece to be smoked the following morning. ref http doyle.thefreelibrary.com Adventures of Sherlock Holmes 9 1 dottle ref References references Refimprove date November 2007 Category Pipe smoking Category Tobacco Culture stub ... more details
