Clubfoot, also known as talipes equinovarus, is a congenital (present at birth) foot deformity. It affects the bones, muscles, tendons, and blood vessels and can affect one or both feet. The foot is usually short and broad in appearance and the heel points downward while the front half of the foot (forefoot) turns inward. The heel cord (Achilles tendon) is tight. The heel can appear narrow and the muscles in the calf are smaller compared to a normal lower leg.
Clubfoot happens in approximately 1 to 3 of every 1,000 births, with boys outnumbering girls 2 to 1.
Clubfoot is considered a "multifactorial trait." Multifactorial inheritance means there are many factors involved in causing a birth defect. The factors are usually both genetic and environmental.
Often one gender (either male or female) is affected more often than the other in multifactorial traits. There appears to be a different "threshold of expression." This means that one gender is more likely to show the problem than the other gender. For example, clubfoot is twice as common in males as it is in females. Once a child has been born with clubfoot, the chance for it to happen again depends on several factors. If a parent and child are affected, the chance that it may happen again may be as high as 25%. If a parent does not have club foot, then the risk that it may happen again is based on gender of first born—2% risk with a male child and 5% for a female child.
Risk factors may include:
Family history of clubfoot
Multiple gestations (twins or triplets)
Position of the baby in the uterus
Increased occurrences in those children with neuromuscular disorders, such as cerebral palsy (CP) and spina bifida
Oligohydramnios (decreased amount of amniotic fluid surrounding the fetus in the uterus) during pregnancy
Babies born with clubfoot may also be at increased risk of having an associated hip condition, known as developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). DDH is a condition of the hip joint in which the top of the thigh bone (femur) slips in and out of its socket because the socket is too shallow to keep the joint intact.
Your child's healthcare provider makes the diagnosis of clubfoot at birth with a physical exam. During the exam, your child's healthcare provider obtains a complete prenatal and birth history of the child and asks if other family members are known to have clubfoot. If the diagnosis of clubfoot is made in an older infant or child, your child's healthcare provider will also ask about developmental milestones since clubfoot can be associated with other neuromuscular disorders. Developmental delays may need further medical follow up to evaluate for underlying problems.
Diagnostic procedures of the foot may include:
X-ray. A diagnostic test that uses invisible electromagnetic energy beams to make images of internal tissues, bones, and organs onto film.
Specific treatment for clubfoot will be discussed with you by your child's healthcare provider based on:
Your child's age, overall health, and medical history
The extent of the condition
Your child's tolerance for specific medicines, procedures, or therapies
Expectations for the course of the condition
Your opinion or preference
The goal of treatment is to straighten the foot so that it can grow and develop normally. Treatment choices for infants include:
Nonsurgical treatment. There are various methods of nonsurgical treatment for infants with clubfoot. These methods include serial manipulation and casting, taping, physical therapy and splinting, and use of a machine that provides continuous passive motion. A nonsurgical treatment should be the first type of treatment for clubfoot, regardless of how severe the deformity is.
According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS), the Ponseti method, which uses manipulation and casting, is the most often used method in the U.S. to treat clubfoot. Most cases of clubfoot in infants can be corrected within 2 to 3 months using this method. It is recommended that Ponseti method treatment be started as soon as clubfoot has been diagnosed, even as soon as 1 week of age. The AAOS states that infants with clubfoot occasionally have a deformity severe enough that manipulation and casting will not be effective.
Because clubfoot may happen again, braces are worn for several years to prevent relapse. Initially, the braces are worn for 23 hours a day for up to 3 months, then at night for 2 to 4 years.
Surgery. Surgical treatment for clubfoot may be needed in these situations: when nonsurgical treatment fails to correct the deformity, or when the deformity happens again and does not respond to nonsurgical treatment. The specific surgical procedure and extent of surgery will depend on the type and extent of the deformity. Postoperatively, surgical wires, pins, and/or a cast may be used to maintain the corrected foot position until it has healed. Splints may also be needed for several months up to a few years after surgery.
Long leg casts are applied from the upper thigh to the foot. These casts are commonly used in the treatment of clubfoot. They can also be used with knee dislocations, fractures, or after surgery on the leg or knee area.
Keep the cast clean and dry.
Check for cracks or breaks in the cast.
Rough edges can be padded to protect the skin from scratches.
Do not scratch the skin under the cast by inserting objects inside the cast.
Use a hairdryer placed on a cool setting to blow air under the cast and cool down the hot, itchy skin. Never blow warm or hot air into the cast.
Do not put powders or lotion inside the cast.
Cover the cast while your child is eating to prevent food spills from entering the cast.
Prevent small toys or objects from being put inside the cast.
Elevate the cast above the level of the heart to decrease swelling.
Contact your healthcare provider if your child develops one or more of the following symptoms:
Fever greater than 101°F (38.3°C) or chills
Increased pain
Increased swelling above or below the cast
Complaints of numbness or tingling
Drainage or foul odor from the cast
Cool or cold toes
Most infants with clubfoot can be corrected with serial manipulation and casting. Some infants may need surgery to help correct the position of the foot. Additional surgeries may be necessary since the deformity may come back as the child grows and develops.

For the first time in a long time, my girlfriend and I had a weekend where neither us were being savaged by hay fever, flu, back ache or work. This felt remarkably good, so I celebrated by refusing to turn my computer on until the early evening for a quick "when is the new Counting Crows album coming out" check (next week, dammit). Saturday was a good day -- long chats in pubs, a bit of shopping, laughing, cooking, followed by red wine and Best Of Luis Theroux in the evening.
Now that I finally have some web space to go with my domain, I can start putting some content up. This led to my routine adventure into metadata...
I want to keep a collection of screenshots and photos online, as we all do. I'm against 100 files, all called screenshot-43.png, so some form of index is required. I'm also against information being in the wrong place, i.e. in a seperate file. The only file which knows what am image is about, is the image. A quick peek at the PNG specification confirmed that the text chunks are have keywords associated with them, so a PNG image can have a creation date, title, author etc.
So, all I need is:
- A CGI script which can examine a directory, scan the metadata, and create a titled, date sorted index
- A nice GUI tool to edit said metadata
(1) I could code up in a day or so if Apache Cocoon 2 were installed on the server, and I still had my love for Java. Cocoon2 is a wonderful piece of software, and excellent for this sort of thing. However, its too heavy for a single directory... does anyone know of a tool which does this? Or should I just sit down and write it in Python myself...
(2) I suppose needs writing — I remember a Java tool written by a Dublin Core dude, but that only handled JPEG images. I'm thinking Python + GTK + Bonobo + gnome-vfs should be good, and handle the file opening and viewing nicely. Drop in a few objects and edit the metadata of any file desired. All I need now is for jamesh to add the application stuff from gnome-vfs to the GNOME bindings for Python... :-)

Pietro Longhi has often been considered the chronicler of Venice, a painter who was able to enter the salons of the nobility and bourgeoisie, and relate the daily life of his patrons, viewing them in a less formal manner than the numerous Venetian portraitists were used to in his day. While this is true (and it highlights the desire to appear "true to life" as Enlightenment ideas started spreading in Venice well before the mid-18th century), the quality of Pietro Longhi's painting — sometimes underestimated by critics — should not be forgotten. His subjects were very close to reality — and this fact, the object of much misunderstanding, has led to reams being written about the artist's supposedly ironic attitude — and are rendered in an almost miniaturist style, made more gentle by a chromatic scale using light tones, still clearly bound to the poetics of the Rococo style, in a manner reminiscent of the works of Amigoni.
One of Longhi's recurrent types of painting is the group portrait, of which this Patrician Family , which can in all probability be dated to the mid-18th century, is an excellent example. We do not know who the people are, but they are captured in the intimacy of their drawing-room, with very lively colours and a powerful graphic style. They are certainly members of an important family of Venetian nobles, with the old heads of the family (the older one sitting on the right with a stick, the other in profile, standing with a grandson in his arms), the wife of one of them, their sons with their wives and children: in any case, this is a group Longhi was able to portray with affection — not just in terms of their exterior features and their clothes, but also of their good-naturedness.

A diversity statement for Ubuntu
The Ubuntu website states that "we aim to make Ubuntu a wonderful place to participate". We developed the Ubuntu Code of Conduct to set a standard for participants to accept each other in the spirit of cooperation, and have improved it over time to state these principles more clearly.
It is implicit in our philosophy that these and other Ubuntu values should hold equally true for everyone. I would like to propose that we upgrade this to an explicit statement on behalf of the project.
I have spoken with many people who were interested in joining a free software project, but were put off because they felt unwelcome. I know various people who participate in Ubuntu today, but sometimes face difficult social obstacles in order to do so. Going forward, I would like for us, as members of the Ubuntu community, to make the extra effort to accept all kinds of people. This may sound simple, but it can be very difficult to put into practice. People often don't even notice they've gotten it wrong, until the offended party points it out to them. We need tools and guidance to make this a reality.
To that end, I would like to propose a diversity statement for Ubuntu. This draft has already received support from a majority of the Community Council, but I'd like to take it a step further. Because I want this to be a commitment that we can all stand behind, I'm also calling for support from the community as a whole. Please give this issue your consideration, and let me know in the comments if you can get on board with an official statement like this. The more support we have, the more real this commitment can be.
Here's the text. Many thanks to Mary Gardiner, Valerie Aurora and Benjamin Mako Hill for their review and input.
The Ubuntu project welcomes and encourages participation by everyone. We are committed to being a community that everyone feels good about joining. Although we may not be able to satisfy everyone, we will always work to treat everyone well.
Standards for behavior in the Ubuntu community are detailed in the Code of Conduct and Leadership Code of Conduct. We expect participants in our community to meet these standards in all their interactions and to help others to do so as well.
Whenever any participant has made a mistake, we expect them to take responsibility for it. If someone has been harmed or offended, it is our responsibility to listen carefully and respectfully, and do our best to right the wrong.
Although this list cannot be exhaustive, we explicitly honor diversity in age, culture, ethnicity, genotype, gender identity or expression, language, national origin, neurotype, phenotype, political beliefs, profession, race, religion, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, subculture, and technical ability.
Some of the ideas and wording for this statement were based on diversity statements from the Python community and Dreamwidth Studios (CC-BY-SA 3.0).

Hyperviscosity of the newborn is the slowing and blockage of blood flow. It occurs when there are too many red blood cells in an infant's blood.
Neonatal polycythemia
Hyperviscosity can occur when the percentage of red blood cells (RBCs) in the infant's blood called the "hematocrit," is greater than 65%. The problem can occur as a result of conditions that develop before birth. These may include:
The extra RBCs can block the flow of blood in the smallest blood vessels. This may lead to tissue death from lack of oxygen. This blocked blood flow can affect all organs, including the kidneys, lungs, and brain.
Symptoms may include:
There may be signs of breathing problems, kidney failure, and newborn jaundice.
If the baby has symptoms of hyperviscosity, a blood test to count the number of red blood cells will be done. This test is called a hematocrit.
Other tests may include:
The baby will be monitored for complications of hyperviscosity. An exchange transfusion may be needed. This is done to lower the amount of red blood cells that are moving through the baby's blood vessels.
Other treatment may include increasing body fluids.
The outlook is good for infants with mild hyperviscosity. Good results are also possible in infants who receive treatment for severe hyperviscosity.
Some children may have mild developmental changes. Parents should contact their health care provider if they think their child shows signs of delayed development.
Complications may include:

American Airlines Merger With US Airways a Done Deal, If Domain Name Purchases to Be Believed
Tags: American Airlines, American Airlines bankruptcy, domain names, mergers, spotlight, US Airways
A report from Domain Name Wire lists 10 domains containing various combinations of the American and US brands.
Maybe this is simply the work of domain squatters seeking to extort money from AA and US if they do merge, you ask? Well, these purchases weren't the work of some guy who saw a GoDaddy commercial, and probably weren't done by a Russian scammer, either. The author points out that the names were registered through MarkMonitor, an online brand protection service that only deals with legitimate companies. Anyone registering a domain through MarkMonitor has to provide proof that they own the rights to the names involved, so barring fraud or a security failure at MarkMonitor, it is almost certain these names were actually registered by representatives of American and/or US. Furthermore, the last three names on the list, which play on the AAdvantage and oneworld brands, seem a bit too creative to be the work of a scammer.
The List
- american-usairways.com, .net, and .org
- americanairlinesusairways.com, .net, and .org
- americanusairways.net (the .com was registered by someone else in 2010)
- usairways-american.com, .net, and .org
- usairwaysamerican.com, .net, and .org
- usairwaysamericanairlines.com, .net, and .org
- usandaa.com, .net, and .org
- aadvantageofus.com, .net, and .org
- advantageofus.com, .net, and .org
- oneworldoneairline.com, .net, and .org
Last week, American sought a six-month extension for filing a bankruptcy plan, which could be a signal that they are working on a deal with another carrier. US Airways has been speculated as a bidder for American, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in November 2011.
It is possible that a deal is far from complete, and that AA and US are simply buying these names to protect them in the event that they do merge. But for the airlines to take this huge step in their relationship, at the very least, their merger discussions must have progressed to a very high level.
UPDATE 4:45PM ET: US Airways has confirmed to TheStreet.com that it was behind the purchase of the domain names. US Airways spokeswoman Michelle Mohr told them, "The purchase of these domain names, along with other potential transaction names, is simply step to ensure others do not use our marks in a way that might negatively impact our brand."

As a resident student you have more important things to concern yourself with than worrying if you have enough meals for the entire week. Roger Williams University has crafted two great meal plan options to provide easy access to great food and communal dining.
The following meal plan options are available to any student, but required for those residents who live in our traditional style living areas.
Unlimited meals in residential dining plus 300 Hawk Dollars per semester; 3 guest passes per semester
$3591 per semester
Unlimited meals in residential dining plus 125 Hawk Dollars per semester; 3 guest passes per semester
$3428 per semester
Ideal plan for students who want to eat an average of thirteen meals per week on campus and use 300 in Hawk Dollars throughout the semester; 3 guest passes per semester.
$3428 per semester
For students living in our residence halls, there is no better value than the meals per week option. This option allows you to enjoy up to an unlimited number of guaranteed meals each week for the semester that you have signed up for. Your Hawk Dollars do carry over from semester to semester but not from year to year.
Block Meal Plans offer students the most flexibility as the amount of meals that you sign up for can be used throughout the semester in any manner. Students can use their block meals at our two all-you-care-to-eat dining halls. Unlike the traditional meals per week plans available to resident students, meals on our block plans will carry over from week to week. So, you won't have to worry about losing your meals each week if you do not use them. With a Block Meal Plan, there are no restrictions and the flexibility is endless! Your Hawk Dollars do carry over from semester to semester but not from year to year.
Hawk Dollars are accepted like cash in all our dining locations. Hawk Dollars are a "declining balance account" that works on the same principle as a debit card. You can use your Hawk Dollars to purchase beverages, snacks, or even a full meal in all of the RWU retail and residential locations. Each time you make a purchase, the purchase amount is subtracted from your Hawk Dollar balance. Your Hawk Dollars do carry over from the fall semester to the spring semester but not from year to year.
Much like Hawk Dollars, Unicard Points are accepted like cash in all our dining locations and are a "declining balance account" that works on the same principle as a debit card (Unicard Points can also be used at location on and off campus. You can find a full list of locations that accept RWU Unicard Points here: http://unicardpoints.ugrydnetwork.com/). However, your Unicard Points are assigned when a customer adds extra money to their Unicard at the Bursars Office or Unicard Office.
For students currently on a meal plan, one Guest Pass Bundle may be purchased per semester. A Guest Pass Bundle can be purchased at the ID Office located in the Lower Commons and will add two guest passes to their Unicard.
All students living in RWU resident halls must be enrolled in either the Carte Blanche Gold or the 200 Block Plan. They are eligible to buy-up to the Carte Blanche Platinum
Roger Williams University has created several dining plans especially for the Commuter and Law Student community to provide greater access to the new Upper Commons Dining Café and all the other new services on campus. When you purchase one of these plans, you can be sure that you have access to healthy, nutritional food choices when you're on campus.
This plan offers the best value for commuting students. You will receive 16 meals per semester that can be eaten at any meal period, as well as 300 Hawk Dollars.
$474 per semester
Ideal plan for apartment dwellers who want to eat an average of 7-8 meals per week on campus and use 400 in Hawk Dollars throughout the semester; 3 guest passes per semester
$1754 per semester
Visit the ID Office located on the first floor of the Lower Commons to sign up for your dining plan or to find out more about our exciting offers.
Visit the Roger Williams University Bon Appetit Website for daily menus, service hours and more information on campus dining.

Opinions on which to buy. Son of a gun more compact but throws shorter distance. Thanks in advance.
Opinions on which to buy. Son of a gun more compact but throws shorter distance. Thanks in advance.
As a Gunners Up Dealer I always recommend that my customers consider the full size winger over the smaller version as there are more positions to set the bands and therefore different combinations for different throws. The full size just throws higher and further. That all being said, I do sell a good many of these due to the ability to fit into smaller bed trucks and SUV's for easier transport and set up. Some folks have told me they have set up a rack on their 4 wheeler to carry these around and it is easier for them to handle. I have both sizes and my personal preference is the larger version but if you want to talk about it shoot me a PM and I will be glad to discuss it further. All the best. - Brian

What are you made of?
Cells make up all living things, including your own body. This picture shows a typical group of cells. But not all cells look alike. Cells can differ in shape and sizes. And the different shapes usually means different functions.
Introduction to Cells
A cell is the smallest structural and functional unit of an organism. Some organisms, like bacteria, consist of only one cell. Big organisms, like humans, consist of trillions of cells. Compare a human to a banana. On the outside, they look very different, but if you look close enough you'll see that their cells are actually very similar.
Observing Cells
Most cells are so small that you cannot see them without the help of a microscope. It was not until 1665 that English scientist Robert Hooke invented a basic light microscope and observed cells for the first time. You may use light microscopes in the classroom. You can use a light microscope to see cells (Figure below). But many structures in the cell are too small to see with a light microscope. So, what do you do if you want to see the tiny structures inside of cells?
The outline of onion cells are visible under a light microscope.
In the 1950s, scientists developed more powerful microscopes. A light microscope sends a beam of light through a specimen, or the object you are studying. A more powerful microscope, called an electron microscope, passes a beam of electrons through the specimen. Sending electrons through a cell allows us to see its smallest parts, even the parts inside the cell (Figure below). Without electron microscopes, we would not know what the inside of a cell looked like.
An electron microscope allows scientists to see much more detail than a light microscope, as with this sample of pollen.
Cell Theory
In 1858, after using microscopes much better than Hooke's first microscope, Rudolf Virchow developed the hypothesis that cells only come from other cells. For example, bacteria, which are single-celled organisms, divide in half (after they grow some) to make new bacteria. In the same way, your body makes new cells by dividing the cells you already have. In all cases, cells only come from cells that have existed before. This idea led to the development of one of the most important theories in biology, the cell theory.
Cell theory states that:
- All organisms are composed of cells.
- Cells are alive and the basic living units of organization in all organisms.
- All cells come from other cells.
As with other scientific theories, many hundreds, if not thousands, of experiments support the cell theory. Since Virchow created the theory, no evidence has ever been identified to contradict it.
Specialized Cells
Although cells share many of the same features and structures, they also can be very different (Figure below). Each cell in your body is designed for a specific task. In other words, the cell's function is partly based on the cell's structure. For example:
- Red blood cells are shaped with a pocket that traps oxygen and brings it to other body cells.
- Nerve cells are long and stringy in order to form a line of communication with other nerve cells, like a wire. Because of this shape, they can quickly send signals, such as the feeling of touching a hot stove, to your brain.
- Skin cells are flat and fit tightly together to protect your body.
As you can see, cells are shaped in ways that help them do their jobs. Multicellular (many-celled) organisms have many types of specialized cells in their bodies.
Red blood cells (left) are specialized to carry oxygen in the blood. Neurons (center) are shaped to conduct electrical impulses to many other nerve cells. These epidermal cells (right) make up the "skin" of plants. Note how the cells fit tightly together.
Levels of Organization
While cells are the basic units of an organism, groups of cells can perform a job together. These cells are called specialized because they have a special job. Specialized cells can be organized into tissues. For example, your liver cells are organized into liver tissue. Your liver tissue is further organized into an organ, your liver. Organs are formed from two or more specialized tissues working together to perform a job. All organs, from your heart to your liver, are made up of an organized group of tissues.
These organs are part of a larger system, the organ systems. For example, your brain works together with your spinal cord and other nerves to form the nervous system. This organ system must be organized with other organ systems, such as the circulatory system and the digestive system, for your body to work. Organ systems work together to form the entire organism. As you can see in the Figure below, there are many levels of organization in living things.
Levels of organization, from the atom to the organism.
- cell: The basic unit of structure and function of a living organism; the basic unit of life.
- cell theory: Scientific theory that all living things are made up of cells, all life functions occur within cells, and all cells come from already existing cells.
- electron microscope: Microscope that uses a beam of electrons to magnify an object.
- microscope: An instrument that uses lenses to produce magnified images of small objects.
- organ: Tissues that work together to perform a specialized function.
- organ system: Organs that work together to perform a certain function.
- tissue: Groups of cells that work together to perform a specific function.
- Cells were first observed under a light microscope, but today's electron microscopes allow scientists to take a closer look at the inside of cells.
- Cell theory says that:
- All organisms are composed of cells;
- Cells are alive and the basic living units of organization in all organisms; and
- All cells come from other cells.
- Cells are organized into tissues, which are organized into organs, which are organized into organ systems, which are organized to create the whole organism.

For those of you not in thew "know", we settled in Beirut for about 9 months, then got the serious itch to venture out again. This time, the itch was down south. Way down south! No, not the kind of itch you get from not washing your jockstrap, but something that burned with just as much fury and right from the loins. The desire was for South America! It represented a "black mark" on us as "World Travelers" who, when asked if we had been to SA had only yo sheepishly look at our shoes. Well, no longer.
In order to GET to SA, however, you have to pass through the UK, so we decided to take a nice, hardy stop there to see it all. England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland
So, the plan was to fly to London from Beirut, rent a car (bypassing London), take a clockwise loop starting south and heading north, pop into (and out of) Wales, and up to Scotand then back to England, fly to ireland, then back to London for 4 days, then off to San Fran, then South America. Wshew!
So, we landed in London and landed at Heathrow and were whisked off to our car rental place. We picked up "Lil Jimmy" at the redheaded bastardchild of Hertz - (Dis)Advantage rent-a-car (no disrepect to our redheaded viking friends of the UK). We collected our keys to the car (from the ratty trailer in the back of Hertz) then headed out on the "non-right" side of the road with automatic transmission. I am not lying when I say that within 30 seconds we almost got into a head-on -collision in the parking lot. Ooof!
Our very first visit was to Winchester with its amazing cathedral. We stopped for our first pub beer around the corner and indulged in some warm, earthy ale. We headed out, narrowly avoiding death (BTW, we declined the extra insurance, so we were gambling) and headed towards Salisbury (famous for their delicious frozen Salisbury Steak dinners)
The next day we drove out to Stonehenge and Avbury (a much bigger, older, and less touristy version of Stonehenge). Good times. We got obsessed also with the angry, craggly trees that looked straight out of a horror flick with trillions of branches and trunks. Nice.
A brief sidenote is required to describe the cold. It was COLD, and we were not in the mood to bring lots of extra clothes, so we effectively ended up wearing every scrap of clothing which made for restricted movement and, after a few weeks, a pungent travellers odor that was hard to shake, even after vigorous washing. So, I want you, as the reader, to imagine us for the UK/Ireland entries as bundled and smelly.
The next stop was Bath, where we toodled around the adorable town, trying hard not to spend too much money. We also ran into some people with a dog that had weird toes. You know the little freak-toe that all dogs have about 1/4 the way up the leg? Well, this guy had doubleheaded freaktoes
One other sidenote is required to talk about free parking in the UK. There is NONE! "Pay and Display" was everywhere, and a constant hassle for us cheapasses. We did manage to find free parking, but often requiring a long drive out to some remote part of a city and a chilly walk back to the hostel.
After Bath we headed to Wales (see Wales entry), then popped out of Wales into the Lake District (back to England), which is a series of rolling mountains and lakes that are "fenced" into a million parcels by picturesque stone walls with spray-painted sheep roaming about eating. We stayed at a little town called Ambleside and ventured out on treks into the hills. We ended up making a little pub into our local watering hole (it had room for maybe 15 people) and the young bartender mentioned that they were making an amazing treat for the next day that was an egg encased in stuffing and was to die for. The next day we came back in and bought two huge, nasty balls which were eggs wrapped in a meat casing, cold and about the size of softballs. The only thing that made it palatable was the ultra-spicy English mustard which was tip-top. I'm not bagging on English food, but this was just plain nasty. Maya barely ate 2 bites and I, the consservationist, finished them both. I am truly the human garbage disposal, plus I felt bad that some poor animal had served up his nasty nuts for us. It was the least I could do.
With our bellies full of mystery meat we ventured into Scotland (see Scotland entry), then popped back down into York. York was amazing! A really cute walled medieval town full of character. It also had a lot of ghost stories associated with it and Maya even claims she saw a ghost late at night while sleeping
Our final stop was in Oxford. We toured this cute college town, watching people with large brains riding their bikes through cold, rainy streets in wool jackets. We visited the watering hole where Bill Clinton first (didn't) smoke a fatty. Not, of course, his last encounter with fatties.
After Oxford we went to Heathrow to fly to Ireland (see Ireland entry). Being cheap, we decided to fill the car up ourselves. So, any sane person would think there would be a filling station close to Heathrow, right? NOPE! We drove an extra 50 miles (round trip) to find a station. Needless to say, I was about to go through the roof. Luckily, being anal retentive when it comes to travel, we had been to the airport 4 hours before the flight, so we had ample time to search the countryside for a station. We finally dumped the car off at Disadvantage and were yet again on foot. The flight was to Ireland.
When getting back from Ireland we just focused on London, which was awesome, as usual
We also managed to hit up a lot of great free museums (thank you, UK taxpayers), including the museum of Britain, an art museum (Tate Modern) and the War Museum. The latter was my personal favorite and I ended up making poor Cupcake spend about 5 hours there. We were wasted at the end.
Our second to last night we toodled up and down the Thames (about 10 miles) and it snowed big frosty flakes. We managed to find a loophole in St Paul's cathedral that on Sunday (which it was) you can enter for FREE and listen to evensong. We trotted in with about 100 other people and listened to the choir sing. Even though we were inside, it was bone-chillingly cold and we sat in our little bundles. When we left, we walked by a street that we had just passed earlier and the cops were there and litter all over the street. It was like a a bomb made of beercans and bottles had exploded. When we asked a cop he just said "the Kiwis", and we later found it was a Kiwi holiday from some really drunk Kiwi's in huge afro wigs. We tagged along with them for a while, then bailed before we got sucked into a painful night of drinking. It was a close call.
So, that was England. We drove about 2000km, visited 30 pubs, ate a lot of food, and walked away lighter in the pockets and roomier through the hips.

Rwanda: Catholic Priest Jailed for 'Denying the Genocide'
A Catholic priest, Father Jean-Marie Vianney Uwizeyeyezu, head of the parish of Kaduha in southern Rwanda, has been jailed to 12 years for "having downplayed the genocide", his lawyer said.
"He has received a sentence of 12 years in prison plus a fee from the Court of First Instance for having, in their words, downplayed the genocide", Mr Protais Mutembe, told Hirondelle News Agency. The priest was found guilty by the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda sitting in Arusha, Tanzania.
Fr Uwizeyeyezu was sentenced on October 6, the lawyer said. "We are going to appeal before the High Court", Mr Mutembe said, stressing that the priest who was arrested last May, is imprisoned in Gikongoro in the south of the country. Allafrica

OK.. I tried to get this post out yesterday.. not sure if it was the computer or the operator.. but lets try it again…
I have been playing with a new stove the last couple months. Taken it out on the last three outings and I am in love with it.
The Esbit Alcohol Stove is designed like the Trangia stove out of Sweden. The Esbit is from Germany and is built to last just like the Esbit chemical fuel tablet stove. When I was an 11 year old Tenderfoot I got one of the chemical tablet stoves, as most of the guys in my Troop had them. We lived in Holland at the time and it seemed to be the standard for our Troop. I still have that stove.
So back in February I wanted to find one to show the Scouts of the Troop. I found them and bought a new chemical fuel stove, and right next to it on the shelf sat the Esbit Alcohol Stove for $19.99. I picked it up and thought for 20 bucks it's worth a shot.
Let me tell you why I like this stove, but first.. let me tell you what I look for in a stove.
First, I like a stove that is easy to use. To many buttons, knobs, pumps, or steps to operate frustrate me.
Next, I like a stove that is not too heavy. I am not a gram weenie.. but something that is too heavy is usually bulky also.
Finally, I like a stove that uses different fuels or multi fuel stoves.
And so.. the esbit alcohol stove has caught my eye. Let me throw some specs out at you.
The stove weighs in at 3.2 ounces or 92 grams for those of you that count them up. The stove will burn denatured alcohol, solid fuel (chemical fuel) tablets, and white gas. The Esbit is made of Brass and is 1.8 x 2.9 in or 4.6 x 7.4 cm.
The stove has a screw top with a rubber seal. This is a great feature that allows you to keep fuel in the stove while its in your pack without leakage. It has a simmer ring or flame regulator. I love this feature. It allows you to either go for a full boil or simmer for delicate cooking and frying. This simmer ring has a nice fold away handle that works real well when on the stove. When looking for the full boil, 1 ounce of fuel (Denatured Alcohol) will get water to a rolling boil in 5 minutes. That was a time that I never thought I could get out of an alcohol stove. I am not big on faster boiling or cooking. The way I see it.. I'm camping, relax and enjoy it. Which brings me to another feature of the stove that I love. It makes no noise. It is absolutely quiet. Real nice to site around and chat with.
Alright… But the BSA has a ban on alcohol stoves.. right? No. the BSA has defined the prohibition like this; "Prohibited chemical-fueled equipment—Equipment that is handcrafted, homemade, modified, or installed beyond the manufacturer's stated design limitations or use. Examples include alcohol-burning "can" stoves, smudge pots, improperly installed heaters, and propane burners with their regulators removed. " – Chemical Fuels and Equipment publication. Homemade stoves are banned.. but stoves like the Trangia or the Esbit are manufactured with the intent of being used as a stove.
The fuel on the other hand is where the question and where you will have to make a judgment call. Denatured Alcohol is "Not Recommended", but no where does it state it is prohibited. So you have to be the judge. Here is my take. Let me be clear here. This is MY take. I understand that the BSA has to make decisions based on the lowest common denominator. Denatured alcohol, while it may be toxic if swallowed, is non explosive and extremely stable. The absolute worst thing that can happen if it spills is evaporation. No gear is ruined, and it will be dry before you need it.
The danger comes in the color of the flame. The flame when first lit is almost invisible. This could lead to burns. But in my opinion that rule goes for any stove. Proper training and instruction is important when using this stove. So what I am saying is that when Scouts in my Troop ask if they can use one of these, the answer will be yes to Scouts that I trust can handle it. Scouts that have proven that they will operate it with care. I suppose it is just like giving a Scout his Totin' Chip. Once they are trained and demonstrate proper use and care, they are allowed to carry and use a Knife, Saw, and Ax. We trust them with other stoves, but only after training. The Esbit Stove is much easier to use than most stove. It is clean, small, and easy to maintain. The only moving part is the simmer ring, which is not used when just boiling.
I love this stove and look forward to cooking many great meals on it. I'll report more as I use it. Stay tuned.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Tishomingo County will hold an alcohol election May 21 after a date was set Monday.
After almost three years of effort to gather more than 2,500 signatures, a lone man determined to have an alcohol election in Tishomingo County has succeeded in his quest.
Charles "Tubby" Aldridge went before the county Board of Supervisors on Monday with petitions having 2,648 names of county registered voters, more than the 2,593 required.

|Warmwater flyfishing Bass, pike and even muskies in your backyard
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Freshwater Dorado
I have a trip planned to Northern Argentina next March and we are planning to fish for Dorado in the Ibera marsh.
I have tried to find suggested patterns for this area but most of the dorado flies I have come across online seem to be designed for the big rivers (e.g. the Parana) where you need a big, dark fly that moves water & shows up in somewhat coloured water. The Ibera, from what I have read, is very clear and the big, dark flies don't look right to me.
Is there anyone out there who has fished the area and can give me suggestions as to fly patterns (or any other advice)? We are using local guides but not going with one of the big outfitters as we have friends who live there.

The landowner recently mowed this field so I lost my cover. The retired gun was not intentional as the wind blew the stickman over. But it worked out ok as he had to work for the memory bird.

Also on Wednesday, an American official and former U.S. intelligence officer told The Associated Press that CIA operatives were sent to Libya this month after the agency's station in the capital was forced to close. CIA officers also assisted in rescuing one of two crew members of an F-15E Strike Eagle that crashed, they said. They spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the information.
Intelligence experts said the CIA operatives that were sent to Libya would have made contact with the opposition and assessed the rebel forces' strength and needs if Obama decided to arm them.
The New York Times first reported that the CIA had sent in operatives and that British operatives were directing airstrikes.
There were "unconfirmed reports" last week from one of these anonymous officials that many of the airstrikes can't be done without forward observers "lighting 'em up" with the laser designators. So whether or not they're uniformed Special Ops/SAS or CIA, there's heel marks in the dirt.
Speaking of boots on the ground, this story
http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_theenv...yan-rebels-win says that "The Egyptians really are already in there training (the rebels)," the former official said. She noted Egypt has made a point of keeping its role quiet--but that the United States is likely already aware of it.
Well isn't that weird?
The Egyptian President is removed from power with American "encouragement" & replaced with a military council in a coup d'etat shortly before a war, oops, "kinetic military action", with his neighbor country, in which his forces would be playing a key role in destabilizing that regime..
You think maybe Mubarak wasn't so keen on being the point man & the staging area for the incursion into Libya, ie. Saudi Arabia/Iraq ?
The lefties ought to be REALLY proud of PBO on that one, even Bush didn't pull that off!
I think this is going a bit further than "somebody lied".

By Sarah Robinson/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – More information is emerging on a second man searched in connection with the federal case investigating ricin-laced letters that were sent April 8 to the president, Sen. Roger Wicker and Lee County Judge Sadie Holland.
Tupelo's James Everett Dutschke, 41, is the latest target of the FBI investigation, and his home and business have been searched this week.
Dutschke has maintained that he is innocent since his name was first mentioned in federal court by an attorney. The man originally charged with mailing the letters, Paul Kevin Curtis, an Elvis tribute artist, was cleared of charges Tuesday.
Similarities between the two men continue to come to light.
Dutschke is a musician and formerly operated Tupelo Taekwondo Plus. He has run unsuccessfully for public office twice in North Mississippi, once against Steve Holland in 2007 as a Republican candidate for the state House of Representatives and later in 2008 as a Democrat for Lee County election commissioner.
Jack Curtis, the older brother of Kevin Curtis, supported Dutschke's 2007 campaign with a contribution of $600. According to the New York Times, Dutschke was once an employee at Jack Curtis' insurance business.
In addition to political connections, both men have a history of legal trouble: Curtis has been convicted of simple assault against a then-assistant district attorney and Dutschke has been convicted and is appealing a charge of indecent exposure and is currently facing additional charges of child molestation in Lee County.
Both Dutschke and Curtis admit to having argued in the past but while Curtis claims the feud was ongoing, Dutschke said that he has interacted with Curtis only three times – twice in person and once online.
Curtis said he met Dutschke sometime around 2005 and was told by friends that the two shared common interests. Curtis said at one point Dutschke even suggested he could get a book Curtis was writing printed.
Both Curtis and Dutschke have acknowledged an argument over Curtis posting a Mensa membership certificate on his MySpace page. Curtis claimed to have posted the certificate because he knew it would upset Dutschke, who he believed to be reading his online profiles under an alias.
"It's a simple act I did to prove he was stalking me," Curtis said.
The phony Mensa certificate was prominent on Curtis' Facebook page when he was arrested April 17 by federal officials at his home in Corinth.
The business owned by Dutschke, Tupelo Taekwondo Plus on Rankin Extended, was the focus of the FBI investigation on Wednesday, a day after a search of his home.
Recent charges
This is not the first accusation to involve Dutschke's business. He reportedly closed the taekwondo studio in January, after he was charged with three counts of child molestation.
He is currently released from jail on a $25,000 bond and is pending trial. According to court documents, Dutschke is not allowed to have any contact with minors as a condition of his release.
City of Tupelo prosecutor Richard Babb confirmed that prior to being charged with molestation, Dutschke was convicted of indecent exposure, a misdemeanor, in early 2013 for an incident that occurred incurred in his neighborhood involving a minor.
He was sentenced to six months in jail but has appealed the conviction and is currently awaiting a new trial, which will not take place until the felony molestation trial is complete.
Prior to opening his own facility, Dutschke worked for Kinetic Kick in Tupelo. Owner Noel McMichael said he dismissed Dutschke from his job as an assistant instructor because "he was conducting himself in a way, outside the school, that was not conducive to our school." It didn't involve minors.
Another taekwondo studio owner, Richard Hamner, said Dutschke worked for him both in Meridian and in Hattiesburg. He said while Dutschke ran his facility in Meridian, "the students loved him."
Hamner said he later fronted another studio in Hattiesburg for Dutschke to manage. He said that after noticing "numerous times" that "cash would be short" and "books would be off," he reported Dutschke in 1995. Hamner said, Dutschke was charged and pleaded guilty to embezzlement.
According to Curtis' Facebook page, Curtis practices taekwondo, but his ex-wife said he did not take lessons from Dutschke.
Curtis has faced his own legal battles. Former Lee County Assistant District Attorney David Daniels was awarded a restraining order against Curtis because of an altercation between the two in 2003.
Daniels was hired as a backup musician for a performance Curtis was playing with his brother Jack, also an Elvis impersonator. Daniels claimed that Curtis attacked him after rehearsal. Curtis was subsequently convicted of simple assault.
Both Dutschke and Curtis are active performers. Dutschke is the lead for the band "Dusty and the RoboDrum," a blues band profiled by the Daily Journal in 2010.
Curtis said he believes Dutschke has intentionally disrupted his career as a performer by calling sponsors and telling them about Curtis' legal woes.
"I lost 12 really big shows in 2011 and eight in 2012 directly linked to him," said Curtis.
Curtis also has repeatedly claimed that he was being 'targeted' by law enforcement in order to prevent him from talking about an alleged criminal conspiracy involving human organs and body parts that he claims to have uncovered more than 10 years ago.
The book, Missing Pieces, that Curtis said he had initially believed Dutschke was interested in publishing, was about the supposed conspiracy.
The two men have both also had issues with state Rep. Steve Holland and his mother, Judge Sadie Holland, who was a target of the ricin attack.
Family members of the two men also appear to have a connection.
Walter Simpson, a manager at Outback Steakhouse in Tupelo, confirmed Madison Curtis, Curtis' daughter, and Janet Cayson Dutschke, Dutschke's wife, have worked together as waitresses at the restaurant for a number of years.
Simpson said he did not believe the two women have ever had any conflict and that the staff at Outback is like a family.
Dutschke did not answer or return phone calls to the Daily Journal on Wednesday.


text: Migration Info The Common Nighthawk is a late migrant in spring, not arriving in the north until temperatures in the hours between sundown and nightfall are warm enough for flying insects to take wing. The migratory patterns of this species are difficult to assess because of the difficulty involved in distinguishing between this and other species of nighthawks that mix in parts of the winter range. One unique aspect of the migratory pattern of this species is that females usually arrive several days ahead of males.

Speaking with MTV on the red carpet at the Hollywood premiere of The Fighter last night, Christian Bale gushed his excitement at the prospect of getting to work with actor Tom Hardy in the upcoming sequel film Batman: The Dark Knight Rises. As you may know, Hardy as been reportedly cast as Batman villain Hugo Strange in the upcoming film … and Bale is gettin' all amped to face this new foe in head-to-head combat in the film:
"I liked him in 'Inception' and I did see 'Bronson' as well," said Christian Bale — Bruce Wayne/Batman himself — in a recent interview with MTV News. "He seems like he's a balls-out actor." When we asked Bale if he was looking forward to Hardy as an opponent, he answered, "Yeah, sounds good." Did Bale confirm that Hardy will in fact be a villain in "The Dark Knight Rises"? Did the "opponent" part of our question breeze right by Bale? While Bale left the door slightly open to returning for a fourth "Batman" flick, he seemed fairly convinced that "The Dark Knight Rises" will be his and Nolan's final installment in the DC Comics franchise. "I think so. That's up to Chris," he said. "That was always what the discussion was. But you know, if Chris says, 'I see another story here,' then we'll be up for it. But in my mind, I'm expecting this will be it." Of course, there's always the fanciful hope that Bale and Nolan will reunite a few decades from now for an adaptation of Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns," which tells the story of a 55-year-old Bruce Wayne who comes out of retirement to become the Caped Crusader once again. "That maybe would not be bad," Bale laughed of the idea. "Maybe in 20 years time, but you need that break."
I'm prolly just as excited if not MORE excited by the prospect of these two fine hunks of beef going at it together in the new Batman film. I'm not sure if there is room in Christopher Nolan's script for any shirtless wrestling BALLS-OUT scenes between Bale and Hardy but … MMMMMM … wouldn't that be nice?

text: I just called this morning to a local Toys R Us, the one by the Park Meadows mall in Highlands Ranch area, and was told that they will be putting out the supply of R2D2 this weekend. So anyone in the Colorado area who could not get one, or you wants another one, this will be a good chance. Additionally, the guy told me that I don't have to spend the $25 on solely Star Wars toys. So I'm going to pick up the Spider-man DVD, and whatever else I can find. I just wanted to point this out . . .

I had just finished clipping a show horse for the Grand National Morgan Horse Show... I had gone inside to catch a shower and get cleaned up for a funeral. and turned on the morning news... I was glued to the TV. On the way to the funeral, the first tower fell.....while in the funeral tower 2 came down. I remember being in disbelif. On the way home (from Stillwater OK to Edmond OK) we saw gas prices skyrocket to $7 per gallon. It was mind blowing.
I hurried home as I had a new horse boarder coming in from Florida and wanted to be there to meet up with her. We also were near Tinker AFB, and walking outside that night and seeing absolutley zero planes in the air was surreal.

Family: Laridae, Gulls and Terns view all from this family
Description ADULT SUMMER Has mainly dark gray back and upper wings, with white trailing edge and black and white tips to wings; underparts, including neck, are white, sometimes flushed pink on breast and belly. Note dark hood and striking white "eyelids," and red legs and bill. ADULT WINTER Similar, but dark hood is much reduced and absent altogether on forecrown. JUVENILE Resembles brownish version of winter adult, but molts in fall to first-winter plumage: gray back, gray inner upper wing marbled with brown feathering, and mainly dark flight feathers. Legs and bill are dark, and note narrow dark tail band that does not reach outer margins.
Dimensions Length: 13-15" (33-38 cm)
Habitat Locally common breeding species, restricted to prairie marshes. Post-breeding birds wander south, Aug-Nov, before migrating to coasts of South America for winter.
Observation Tips Relatively easy to see if you visit suitable habitats within breeding range, May-Aug. Migrants and post-breeding wanderers are sometimes seen at freshwater sites south of breeding range, but species seldom reaches western coast.
Range Eastern Canada, Rocky Mountains, Florida, Northwest, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Southwest, Great Lakes, California, Texas, Western Canada, Plains, New England
Voice Utters clipped, yelping calls. Colonies sound like an audience's hysterical laughter.
Discussion Small, elegant gull. Superficially similar to larger Laughing, but separable on basis of daintier proportions, particularly legs and bill; latter is straight (slightly downcurved in Laughing). Adult has distinctive markings on wingtips: pattern of white-black-white (wingtip of Laughing is uniformly black). In winter, adult retains more extensive dark markings on head than winter Laughing. First-winter has narrower dark tail band than similar age Laughing. Breeds colonially and often migrates in flocks. Sexes are similar.

Wear any little dress you like with LivRelief Varicose Vein Cream
A very good friend of mine always wears hose. It could be sweltering outside, she's always in hose. Not because she's a British princess, but because she hates her legs. Specifically the veins on her legs. She's super self-conscious about them. She's been anxious about it her whole life. And I see her looking at people who step out in bare legs the same way I look at French fries, or chicken wings, or chocolate hedgehogs.
It's more common among young people than you'd think, too. I always thought spider and varicose veins were "old people" problems. Jacek's friend had some painful surgeries to remove hers and she's only in her mid-30s.
Enter LivRelief® and its rub-in, non-invasive application. It contains an active ingredient traditionally used as an astringent in herbal medicine to help treat varicose and spider veins. I won't bore you with the technical details about how it works. You can read about that here if you're curious. But I will add that the breakthrough, all-natural active ingredient it contains (called delivra™) is Canadian. And we can all get behind that.
LivRelief offers a series of topical pain relief products including WOUND HEALING, PAIN RELIEF, and NERVE PAIN RELIEF. They are all high-end, highly effective products and retail for approximately $27-$38 each. We're offering you a chance to win the entire bundle as well as a "Healthy Legs" pack (pictured below) courtesy of LivRelief. If you're interested, email [email protected] with "LivRelief" as the title before EOD PT on Friday, November 8th, 2013. One (1) prize pack is available with a retail value of $250. Standard contest terms apply. Good luck!

Cash PIE and Term PIE rates
New tax rules of Portfolio Investment Entities (PIEs) provide benefits for people who pay tax at more than 30%.
If you're in the 30% or 33% tax bracket, you can potentially earn more from your investment because under the rules the fund pays tax at 30%, so investors who put money into these funds are only taxed at that rate.

Maersk pledges to tighten its supply chain
September 13, 2011
Following its promise to be more collaborative with shippers, Maersk Line is introducing a time-definite service in the booming Asia-EU trade lane.
"A daily service between Asia and North Europe with reliable on-time delivery will change liner shipping forever," spokesmen in Copenhagen declared. "Up until now, customers have had to adjust their production schedules and supply chains to accommodate shipping lines' unreliability, as they have never been able to trust that their cargo would be on time."
This will be thing of the past, Maersk promised, noting that the engine behind Daily Maersk is 70 vessels operating a daily sailings between four ports in Asia (Ningbo, Shanghai, Yantian and Tanjung Pelepas) and three ports in Europe (Felixstowe, Rotterdam and Bremerhaven) in what amounts to a giant "ocean conveyor belt" in the carrier's busiest global service.
In a speech given last June at a major EU logistics event, Maersk Line CEO, Eivind Kolding said the container shipping industry stands on the brink of an "era-defining moment" as it faces fundamental challenges. He added that if container the shipping industry is to secure its right to operate in the future, the industry needs to change now.??
This latest announcement seems to reflect that attitude, said analysts. Zim Line has been ramping up its premium service in the trade lane, as well.
At the same time, however, Maersk and other carriers may soon be holding shippers accountable for freight that is promised, but does not appear. So-called "phantom bookings," may be countered with a surcharge to compensate for lost revenue on any given voyage.
This, said one analyst, must be exercised with caution:
"Maersk has every right to demand such an arrangement," said Charles Clowdis, Jr., managing director-transportation advisory services, at IHS Global Insight. "But until capacity is controlled or withdrawn, it's going to be tough to enforce."

The leather jacket I want to get is a distressed brown with no collar. I might have to change it to a distressed black though, as my uniform for work is brown. ... There's a helmet I kinda want to get that is designed to look like a helicopter pilot helmet; I was thinking to get that and have someone either paint it to look like Luke's X-wing helmet, or use Scotchlite reflective tape.
Took a solo ride yesterday up to French Creek State Park, in PA. It was just under 100 miles roundtrip. Gas light came on on the way there but I wanted to wait to see how far I could go. Seems the light comes on at about a half tank. I had been determined to make it all the way home, but after sputtering up a number of hills I decided to get gas with about 5 miles to go. It took 4 gallons (tank is 4.5).

Wow, I just found bitlbee! Now I can finally get rid of Gaim. For those who don't know, bitlbee is a Jabber,ICQ,MSN,etc. to IRC gateway. It runs as an IRC server on localhost, maintaining a channel which all your buddies from the different IM networks just join when they come on-line. So nice! Then you can either /msg them or just talk to them in the customary IRC way ("nick: blah") from the control channel.
Oh by the way, setup is really simple, just apt-get install bitlbee, /connect localhost, and follow the instructions of the bee.

1 day Backwater Tour on a houseboat
We were picked up at 8am and joined a few other tourist for our full day trip, we drove for about 1.5 hours to get to the boat and sure enough it was lovely we sat down in the shade and off we drifted though all these tiny alleyways in the backwaters with 2 guys using a ginat bamboo stick to push this huge boat through the water – how they do it in the hot sun is beyond me
We stopped at a few villages to see how the made rope from coconut shells, another place made calcium powder from some sort of sea shells. We stopped for a traditional lunch served on banana leaf which was delicious then it was back on the boat for another couple of hours lazing down the river. Well once the food and a wee kingfisher beer hit my belly sitting on the relaxing drifting boat I once again thanks to Marcs arm on the back of my chair, managed to doze off, all I seem to do is sleep at weird times – I actually woke myself up with a snore – aparently I was asleep for about 45 mins in an upright chair haha !
Anyway trip ends it was beautiful back home to check out our options on how to get to Delhi !!
