Panthers rally to tie Forest Lake but lose on criteria, finish third
FOREST LAKE - In a dramatic rally the Ellsworth High School wrestling team, ranked third in Division 2 in Wisconsin, came from down 27-9 to tie Forest Lake, ranked third in Minnesota Class AAA Saturday at the Fores Lake Duals. Brody Kemmerer's pinfall at heavyweight in 2:17 evened the dual at 27-27. The initial criteria decision gave Ellsworth the win but a recount gave the win to the Rangers. Ellsworth wound up third in the six-team meet.
EHS rallied behind upper weight wrestlers Derek Donnelly at 192, Parker Hines at 195, Hank Holdorf at 220 along with Kemmerer. Donnelly scored a key 6-4 win, Hines got a technical fall, Holdorf won by major decision and Kemmerer's pin completed the rally against the top-ranked Rangers.
The Panthers had lost four matches in a row before Logan Kemmerer won at 145 pounds. Jens Lantz also won for Ellsworth at 113.
Despite the emotional letdown the Panthers accorded themselves well for the rest of the meet, beating Stillwater in pool action 47-25 and won the third third place match over LeSeuer/Henderson 40-20.
The Panthers will compete in the Middle Border Conference meet next Saturday in Durand.

My love affair with the written word began in grade school, when my fifth grade teacher made us read a book and write a book report each week of the school year.
I devoured every Zane Gray book I could get my hands on that year, sparking a lifelong love for the American West of the 19th century.
Later, I found out my grandfather had actually prospected in the Yukon for two years in 1898, and ever since, I've had a fascination with Jack London, Robert Service and tales of the Yukon. I've had a short story published in an anthology of short stories on Amazon, titled THE TRADE, that I wrote from a snippet of a story my mother shared with me about his time there. You can click the button below to find it.
Finally, I latch on to every book about the Civil War that I can, and have written the first of what I suspect will be several novels centered on that agonizing, but captivating period.
US Air Force Academy
MA, Mass Communication
University of Denver
I CURRENTLY HAVE A WESTERN mystery, THE RECKONING, THAT was released September 2016, by THE WILD ROSE PRESS! IT'S SET IN 1868 IN COLORADO, AND IS THE STORY OF TWO BROTHERS AND A SISTER WHO SET OUT TO AVENGE THEIR PARENTS, WHO WERE KILLED BY QUANTRILL'S RAIDERS DURING THE CIVIL WAR. CLICK THE LINK JUST BELOW MY NAME ABOVE FOR MORE INFORMATION.
Type here.
I've had a lifelong interest in things historical, especially in mid-to-late 19th century America. I write about the fascinating events of that era- the Civil War, the opening of the American West, the gold rushes, the Industrial Revolution, Reconstruction.

Civil War

Senator Bill Perkins' Thoughts On Enhancing New York's Rent Regulations
The New York rent regulation laws protect the security of over one million household, which contributes a lot protecting the economic vitality of the region. To allow these protections to lapse, eliminating our major source of affordable housing would mean certain disaster. Disaster has happened before and it can happen here, unless we work to avoid what's obvious.
When rent control laws were lifted in Boston and Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1995, the result was predictable. A mass exodus from both cities resulted from unprecedented rent increases and condo conversion's. A study commissioned three years later showed that rents has increased by 54 percent in formerly rent-controlled apartments and the rate of condo conversions soared to mind 1980's levels.
Reports prepared for the Community Development and Human Services Departments of Cambridge showed that advertised rents doubled for all size apartments, evictions cases increased, waiting lists for public and Section 8 housings assistance mushroomed while condo conversions rose dramatically. Ironically. Section 8 housing was actually undermined, because the chance to double and triple rents made Section 8 vouchers unattractive to landlords.
This sounds like my district a few years ago, where every neighborhood experienced accelerated gentrification. Only it could have been, would have been, much worse, without rent regulations. By the same token, we can increase our affordable housing stock by preserving and enhancing our rent regulations. For the sake of livable, affordable, viable cities, this is what we must do.

Rajesh, in his complaint to the Bunder police, has stated that Dhanaraj had promised him to secure a job under special quota. He also took Rs 35,000 in the from of a DD for Rs 25,000 and Rs 10,000 in cash.
A month later, Rajesh enquired of him regarding his promise and but did not get a suitable reply. Thereafter, he stopped taking the calls.

This mini version of the Boite is meticulously crafted from fine calf leather and is designed so that you can take it seamlessly from casual to dressy. It comfortably stow your small wallet, mobile phone, compact beauty kit, and more.
· Calf leather on board
· Gunmetal hardware
· 2-way zip
· Swiss cotton lining
· Inside pockets
· Detachable strap
· Outside slip pocket
· Approx. H 10" x L 10.75" (widest part) x W 3.5"
You can enjoy your leather goods for years if you take good care of it.
For small scratches, try rubbing it gently with a clean fingertip (not the nails!). The natural oils in your skin should remove most small scratches. For dirt, grime or surface residue, use a soft, damp (not wet) cloth. Gently rub - not scrub. For a deeper clean, we suggest taking them to a professional leather cleaner. If you wish to do it yourself, always test in a hidden area to ensure the cleaner is compatible with the leather. Follow the instructions as stated on the cleaner.
To preserve your leather and keep it looking supple; use a wax-free leather conditioner. As always, test the conditioner in a hidden area with a soft, clean cloth to ensure its compatibility with the leather. Follow the instructions of your leather care product.
Remember that leather is a natural material and should be stored in a breathable bag, not plastic, to prevent the growth of mildew and bacteria. While it is wise to give it a buff of your favorite leather cleaner before you store it in its dustbag (where provided) and box when not in use, it is best to take it out once in a while and give it a good run. Remember, leather is skin and it still needs air to "breathe". We think that all the marks that your item will bear throughout its use are signs of love and give your item its own unique personality.

I didn't have much time to research the merits of this hotel before booking a well-priced package from Icelandair. Fortunately the risk paid off. The hotel is clean and quiet. The basic rooms are pretty small and basic, but everything functions. There was always hot water in the shower and I slept well every night. The wi-fi (free for guests despite what it says on the web) is reliable and fast.
The hotel is something of a walk from Reykjavik, which would be more of an inconvenience in the winter. The bus pass provided free of charge by the hotel is very handy. Not many people use the bus and it only takes about 5 or 6 minutes to get to a bus station where you can switch to many other lines. There is also a grocery store (1011) just across the street from the station that was very handy considering all the hotel rooms have a mini fridge. As well, most tours include hotel pick-up so the distance is not really so inconvenient.
There is a restaurant in the hotel that is the only dining option nearby. (Next closest are two restaurants in the Perlan and a couple of take out type places near the long-distance bus station.)It is pricey, but comparable in price to similar class restaurants.There is a daily special, but if it does not strike your fancy, there is not a lot of choice. The buffet breakfast, by contrast, has lots of choice. They have the typical northern European breads, cold cuts and cheese as well as smoked salmon and jams. They also have fruit, granola, cereals, porridge and some rather rubbery eggs.
Despite the somewhat confusing information on the web, entrance to the spa is free for hotel guests. They do give you a towel, but robes and slippers are extra. There are lockers in the change rooms for your things. It's in the basement, so it is rather dark. There is a small pool, a sauna, and a very large hot tub (without jets). A nice extra to try out one day, although the hours are not terribly convenient.
The location near the domestic airport means that there is easy access to car rentals and roads leading out of Reykjavik. The paved roads in Iceland are well maintained and there is little traffic outside of the capital. Although gas is expensive, the agencies tend to rent diesel cars with standard transmissions, so the cars are efficient. Also, there is free parking at the hotel.
This is not the place to go if you are expecting luxury. However, it is very good value for those who plan to spend most of their visit outside of their hotel rooms.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Four-star Reykjavik accommodation showcasing the best of Icelandic nature. Newly-renovated Icelandair Hotel Reykjavík Natura (formerly Hotel Loftleidir) is close to the city centre, in the quiet Oskjuhlid wooded area near the sea. ... more less

Featured Spa & Body Tools
Brushes and Extractors
Equip yourself with the tools to fight off skin problems. Pop out blackheads with a stainless steel loop extractor and pull out a retracting lancet to get at those deep-rooted whiteheads. If that doesn't sound appealing, you might want to try a spoon extractor for a gentler approach.
Tweezers and Scissors for Fine Hair Removal
Hairs misbehave all over the place. Get into those tiny details with a splinter tip, or relieve ingrown hairs with a sharp curved tip, and a claw tip is one of your best friends for plucking. Lash curlers and combs come in handy when you're working around the eyes, and slant-tip tweezers are great for refining the eyebrows. Find the set that fits your hand with a range of ergonomic rubber grips. You can also keep things looking pretty with a fashionable tweezers leatherette case.

Start with a clean bare face!
Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer
Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum in 52 Vanilla
Conceal and brighten with :
Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage 3 and Clinique airbrush concealer in 04 Neutral Fair
Covering the eye socket with the lighter brown in:
Chanel Les 4 Ombres in 204 Tisse Vendome
Darken the outer corners with dark brown shade
highlight the inner corner with the lightest shade
Add the peachy shade to the centre of the eye on both the top and bottom lid
Fill in eyebrows with Shiseido eyebrow pencil in dark brown
Line top lash line with a very black liquid liner. Remember to tight line and flick out with a light wing if desired. Try and keep the liner on the thinner side. Too thick of liner can make the look overly dramatic and that's not the look we are going for today.
Curl your lashes and add some definition to your lashes with my favourite Kiss Me mascara.
Now for some contouring with a matte brown shade. I am using MAC emote blush.
Add a bit of colour to the cheeks with a neutral blush (Hourglass mood exposure) that doesn't compete with a red lip. This also keeps the overall look relatively natural and not overdone.
I also highlighted with BECCA highlighter to the high points of my face and powdered lightly with Chanel translucent powder.
Using a neutral red (Chanel coco shine in Dialogue) apply a thin layer and blur the lip line with your finger.
And you're done! This look is versatile and chic. Work appropriate and works well with different outfits. Let me know in the comments below if you have tried out a modern red lip and how you like it!
Shiseido PK109
Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage SC-3
Hourglass Ambient lighting blush palette - Mood Exposure(far right)
MAC contour colour in Emote
Becca Shimmering Skin perfector in Moonstone
Chanel Poudre Universelle Compacte in 30 Naturel
Eyes & Lips:
Shiseido eyelash curler
Kiss me lengthening mascara
Shiseido eye brow pencil
Chanel rouge coco shine 84 Dialogue
Chanel Les 4 Ombres in 204 Tisse Vendome
Missha Signature Sexy Black eyeliner

6 Budget Friendly Reasons to Visit The Hague
6 Budget Friendly Reasons to Visit The Hague
Those who speed through The Netherlands on their Euro trip and only spend a couple of hazy nights in Amsterdam are missing out. Sure, the boisterous, touristy capital is an unmissable stop, but Holland has much, much more on offer, and you can find it a 45-minute train ride away in The Hague.
Unlike Amsterdam, The Hague is known for its peace, in every sense of the word: It's home to the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Justice, but it's also serene, green, and the perfect counterbalance to the capital's red light district and party-hardy tourists. It's also perfectly situated at under an hour from both Amsterdam and Rotterdam (The Hague's de facto airport), making it a lot easier to find cheap flights.
The Hague is a must visit, and if you're wary of Europe's high prices, we've put together this list of the most budget-friendly reasons to visit, all under 10 Euros each.
1) The Peace Palace
The stunning Peace Palace is perhaps the city's most photographed building, and is often called "the seat of international law," as it houses the International Court of Justice (the principal judicial body of the United Nations), The Hague Academy of International Law, and the Permanent Court of Arbitration. There's also the always burning Peace Flame and a World Peace Path, made from 196 stones from 196 countries, and the price is just right: the attached museum of peace and justice is free, and weekend guided tours are under ten Euros. For an extra Dutch experience, try staying at the nearby bed and breakfast Maison Indochine, where you can stay in one of their two boutique rooms from $118 per night.
2) The Beach
The Hague turns a trip to Holland into a beachy getaway. Scheveningen beach is a very short ride from the city center by tram or bicycle, and the very walkable seaside is populated by seafood shacks and hungry, dreadlocked surfers. At the Pier in Scheveningen, if weather permits, you can see about 30 miles in either direction, from the Rotterdam Port Entry to the point of entry to Amsterdam Harbour. Hotel Bella Vista is situated right on the beach and might be your cheapest bet at about $45 per night, but the nearby Andante Hotel is surprisingly swanky for $65.
3) The Escher Museum
Water flows uphill, fish morph into birds, and men walk up (or is it down?) neverending staircases in this loving tribute to the weird, wonderful, and wondrous M.C. Escher, the Netherlands' most famous graphic artist. Best known for his optical illusions, this museum is located in an old winter palace of the royal family and features four storeys of the man's mathematically inspired masterpieces, including a floor of surprising interactive exhibits. Entry is under 10 Euros, and it's located virtually across the street from a Holiday Inn, with rooms from $101.
4) Humanity House
In the planet's epicenter of international law, Humanity House is an important and unique museum that aims to recreate the experience of being a refugee. Afterwards, use interactive exhibits to learn about almost every cause of internationaldisplacement in recent history, and explore seasonal exhibitions as well. Entry is €7.50 for adults, €5 for teenagers and free for kids under 12, and it's a very short walk from the 4-star Mercure Den Haag Central hotel, which as rooms from $70 a night.
5) The Biking
Just about every tree-lined corner of The Hague can be reached by bicycle, and there's far less traffic and fewer tourists on the roads than in Amsterdam, making the experience infinitely more pleasant – this is bicycling in Holland. Grab a bike and go; rentals usually cost about 7 or 8 Euros per day, and if you're stuck for destinations, make sure you ride around Haagse Bos ("Forest of the Hague"), the country's oldest protected forest which reaches right into the city center. (The nearby Holiday Inn gladly provides bikes to their guests.)
6) The Binnenhof
City centers don't cost a dime, and this historical treasure is in spitting distance of the city's famous shopping districts and The Mercure Den Haag Central. The Binnenhof is the oldest House of Parliament in the world that's still in use, a huge complex of 800-year-old buildings that includes the Ministry of General Affairs and the office of the Prime Minister of the Netherlands. Tours are less than ten euros (they're in Dutch, but there are English recordings). Get your photos at the nearby Hofvijver lake, over which the Binnenhof stands majestically, and if you feel like splashing out on the €14 entry, visit the nearby Mauritshuis Museum, which houses the famous Girl With the Pearl Earring.

The Syrian refugee crisis has been a disaster for a while, but the images of a tiny child washed up on the shores has been enough to galvanize some kind of support. Unfortunately, it gets worse and worse for Canada:
The young boy had ties to Canada, and a local MP had approached Chris Alexander to plead their case. Update - It's still a little bit unclear on exactly what happened here.
Of course, Chris Alexander has been ignoring refugees in Syria for quite some time now. And he is further embarrassing himself. Please watch the video in that link. Oh wait. More embarrassment. This is probably part of the reason Conservatives grant less than 5% of interview requests.
And just to counter what we're doing vs. what other countries are doing. Germany is planning on taking on 800,000 refugees. To our 2300 so far.
Jesus Christ. Worse and worse:
The boys' father, Abdullah Kurdi, also said today Canadian officials offered him citizenship after seeing what happened, but he has declined. But Citizenship and Immigration Canada released a statement Thursday afternoon saying "Canada did not offer citizenship to Mr Abdullah Kurdi."
Macleans figures we can do a lot more.
The amazing thing is that the Conservatives seem to be touting their "taking it to ISIS" as some kind of justification for doing nothing about refugees. US documents reveal that we killed up to 27 civilians with our airstrikes. And we aren't taking it very seriously. So we're screwing that part up too.
Where is Joe Oliver? You'd think the Finance Minister would be front and center in talking about financial policy and reaction to the announcement of a Recession.
Oh Laureen...you're off message!
Macleans dismantles the mineral exploration tax credit and all the benefits it supposedly provides.
Steve has been cleaning up anti-Conservative Instagram comments.
A former DFO employee did an analysis and determined that enforcement and charges have dried up in recent years. There's nobody on the ground to protect our waterways.
A great article about sports stadium construction shakedowns, using Calgary as an example. It's amazing that these buffoons waited for the oil price collapse to announce their intentions.

Why You Will Love New York City
My favorite world travel experiences are always when I have a local guiding me before or during my trip. We all love to have recommendations from someone we know and trust before we hop on that plane or train (and if you don't know me, yet, feel free to learn more). Please explore the New York City Insider Guide at your own pace. I hope it helps you plan your New York City Vacation, so you not only go home as a NYC Insider, but plan to visit us again soon.
NYC Skyline at Dusk
If you come to NYC, stay in a Times Square hotel, jump on a Hop On Hop Off New York City Bus Tour, go only to the Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty and Madame Tussauds Wax Museum, well, you may actually never run into another New Yorker; and you certainly won't get to experience some of the most amazing things this city has to offer. I hope to be able to show you how do it all – see our world-famous and historical attractions, while also experiencing some of our local culture.

About the Insider New York City Travel Guide
Mom and Cousin on my Uncle's Checker Cab
(scanned photo – circa 1950)
Don't believe a word of the hype – we are some of the most diverse, friendy, smart and fun people you will ever meet. I mean that wholeheartedly – it takes me almost 30 minutes to walk the two blocks to the subway, because I'm always saying hello to my neighbors, doormen, shoe guy, manicurist, bartender, dry cleaner, deli, gym…and that's all on my block!
I love this city so much and nothing makes me happier than when you love it, too. Please enjoy my insider tips, the kinds of things you discover only when you have hundreds of friends and family members and our collective prior generations passing down "insider" information.
I have no connections with the New York City tourism and travel industry, so all the information on this site is genuine. I will never recommend anything unless I'm absolutely confident it's the best (and by my and NYC standards, that's pretty high!). Please enjoy all the real information from a real person who lives here.
I can't wait to show you some of my favorites.
Thank you for visiting the NYC Insider Guide …welcome to our city and I hope you love it as much as I do!

'Finding out I was pregnant was the best wedding gift'
Former Girls Aloud star Kimberley Walsh has coped with the tough world of showbusiness, but motherhood has surprised her with its demands. She tells Gabrielle Fagan about her wedding, her toddler son and preparing for baby number two
Kimberley Walsh laughs as she reveals her plan for a large brood of children has gone awry since she's experienced the reality of looking after an energetic toddler while expecting another baby.
Although she took the demands and pressures of fame, performing and touring in her stride during 11 years in pop band, Girls Aloud, the 34-year-old describes motherhood as "amazing", but not as easy as she expected.
"I started out saying, 'I definitely want four kids', but now, when I see parents with four or five I'm like, 'Wow, well done but, er, how do you do that?' I honestly don't know whether I'd manage four, so I'm definitely not making any more promises about numbers. Let's just say the family's growing slowly but surely," declares Walsh, whose second baby with husband, Justin Scott, (33), is due at Christmas. The couple have a two-year-old son, Bobby.
"When I had my scan for this baby, I immediately asked, 'Are you sure it's not twins?' I just needed to put my mind at rest. I'm glad I'm having this baby now while I've got some energy - dwindling as it may be. Motherhood's changed my life - it brings out your emotional side and Bobby and the baby are my priority - but I've realised there's no off-switch. It can be tough with no time for rest, especially when you're running around after a busy toddler."
There's no sign it's taken any toll on her looks - she's radiant and glamorous as she poses to launch her role supporting Pampers and UNICEF's Amazing Babies campaign (it has been going 11 years and has saved over 500,000 babies' lives) which aims to eliminate maternal and newborn tetanus and is "proud to be able to play a part in helping mothers have healthy babies and to help save lives" - but she's certainly had a whirlwind year.
She and Scott married in February in a lavish ceremony in Barbados, with her former Girls Aloud bandmates Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and Nicola Roberts as bridesmaids. A few weeks later she discovered she was pregnant.
"Justin and I have been together 13 years, so we waited a long time to marry. In the end, Bobby gave us the impetus to become a family officially. It made our wedding day even more emotional because he was with us," she says, before jokingly revealing that her little boy's presence also turned the occasion into "carnage".
"He was a page boy and supposed to walk down the aisle with my three nephews and my best friend's little boy, but it turned into chaos as they all tripped up, fell over and were stepping over one another. Bobby only made it half-way down because he decided to lie down and take a nap.
"It was carnage, but so funny. What was especially lovely was that just as we'd finished saying our vows, with perfect timing, Bobby suddenly shouted out, 'Yeah.' It was so sweet that he made himself totally part of our perfect day. Finding out I was pregnant a few weeks later was the best wedding gift."
Walsh wants to continue forging a new career in television and musical theatre - in 2011 she made her West End debut in Shrek the Musical, was a runner-up in Strictly Come Dancing in 2012, and starred last year in Elf: The Musical.
Currently, she's also trying to prepare Bobby for the arrival of his sibling. "I'm hoping to get him used to the idea of having a brother or sister. We haven't found out the sex of this baby as we want to keep it a surprise. Bobby talks to the baby in my tummy and pretends it's kicking him, which is cute so he's engaging up to a point, but really he's too young to understand," she explains.
"He loves babies though, so fingers crossed he'll enjoy looking after the baby - either that or he'll turn into the devil. At the moment he's a sensitive, placid little boy, but who knows how he'll react? I'm so looking forward to it."
Unsurprisingly, he shares his parents' musical genes. Her husband was in boy band, Triple 8, who recorded for the same label as Girls Aloud, before he became a property developer.
"Bobby's a real character and a bit of a show-off. He's got real rhythm, can clap in time and even change beats from double to single. He's obsessed with music and dancing, which I kind of expected with our background, but it's funny when you see performing signs so early," says Walsh.
"I would perform at the drop of a hat as a kid, so I'd support him if he followed in our footsteps, but I'm encouraging him to go to work with his dad when he's renovating properties so he can see as much of that practical world as possible, and maybe take an easier route than show business."
Her husband's qualities as a father have, she says, further strengthened their relationship. "Justin's a wonderful dad and so hands-on and that's kind of made our relationship grow. Although he'd had experience with his daughter, Chloe, (16), when he was very young, I didn't know if he'd have quite the same enthusiasm going back and starting again, but he loved it from the start. It's so lovely seeing him and Bobby - a blonde-haired blue-eyed mini-Justin - together."
Blissfully happy, Walsh who'll turn 35 in November, says: "This is such a nice age because I feel totally comfortable and settled with where I am in life and where I am as a person".
Clearly it's a contentment she wishes for her good friend, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, (33), currently dating former One Direction singer, Liam Payne, (23), to share. There are unconfirmed rumours that the couple are expecting a baby. Walsh simply says: "It's so good to see Cheryl so happy. When it's your best friend, that's what you want for them, and she's in a really good place right now."
Yorkshire-born Walsh, who found fame at 21 when she auditioned for reality ITV show, Popstars: The Rivals in 2002, is buoyant about the future. "Life's about finding the right balance, which I think I have so far. I've learnt you just have to go with the flow and hope things work themselves out - and they generally do."
Kimberley Walsh is supporting the Pampers UNICEF campaign. For every specially marked pack of Pampers purchased, Pampers will donate the equivalent cost of one vaccine to help UNICEF in the fight against Maternal and Newborn Tetanus (MNT). Visit facebook.com/PampersUKIre to find out more.

My Go-To Combo
What I'm Wearing
Jacket: Material Girl [old,

| Pants: H&M [old,
also love
Shoes: Prima Donna [
] | Clutch:
Clare V
| Hat:
loves! It feels so good to put the winter season behind us, although it did snow a little bit yesterday, ha! This weather has just been so insane over these past several months. Hopefully we can get back to some consistency though.
To be completely honest I had absolutely no idea what I wanted to wear and shoot over the weekend. In fact, I went a few days without doing it because I didn't want to force it. I think I have definitely learned throughout these last few years that if for whatever reason I am not in the mood or I am not feeling it, then I just shouldn't do it. My forced outfits/shoots never turn out the way that I want them to anyway. Any other bloggers feel me on this?! Speaking of this, you might have realized that I went from posting 4-5 looks per week down to 2-3 only. I feel much better doing it this way so that it leaves room for other content and so that I am not overwhelming you guys with outfit after outfit. It also makes me focus more on the quality instead of the quantity.
Whenever I am in some sort of style rut, I think that I slowly break out of it by grabbing some of my go-to pieces and creating a new look with them. I know I've mentioned it before plenty of times, but black, red and leopard will always be one of my favorite combinations. I've worn this little red moto jacket several times, but I don't believe that I have ever posted it on here in a separate style post. I got this months back before Ireland and actually wore it with a skirt and my OTK boots on the last night. I also wore it to a bebe event during fashion week with red lace up heels, white denim and a white top. This time though, I stuck with my "
style comfort
" and decided on black on black. I love the versatility of this one jacket though. I'm pretty sure that I will continue to wear it in many ways. I've been wearing hats so much lately, mostly because I haven't really felt like doing my hair. Hey, just being honest. ;) Wide brims are a life saver.
What are some of you go-to combos?
Hope you all have a lovely day!

Regarding modification on 24 February 2010, at 04:02. Some axe damages have changed in the new patch. The following changes were made: Axe 3-11 ---> 4-11 Double Axe 5-12 ---> 5-13 Military Pick 6-10 ---> 7-11 War Axe 8-14 ---> 10-18 Battle Axe 12-28 ---> 12-32 Great Axe 8-26 ---> 9-30 Giant Axe 26-38 ---> 22-45 Military Axe 14-24 ---> 14-34 Also, the stack sizes for throwing axes are different in the new patch. The maximum quantity for both throwing axes and balanced axes is 130, not 32 and 24, respectively. I don't know if the minimum quantities are still correct. All information about the normal axes and the hatchet and military exceptional axes should now be correct. I don't have up to date information about the other exceptional axes and the elites, but some info there might also require an update.
21/11/2010: As of patch 1.13 it seems possible to get Elite items in NM Act III, not only IV/V as stated. Playing SP I had a damaged Matriarchal Bow (Elite Amazon-specific Bow) drop earlier, and then one of the random bosses in an Upper Kurast temple dropped a rare Feral Axe (Elite 2-H Axe). I can't find a general 'items' page to add this, however.

30, 60, 90-Day Inpatient Vs. Outpatient Rehabilitation in Gilberton, Pennsylvania
Getting sober from Pentobarbital, Antidepressants, alcohol or any other drug you or your loved one is addicted to takes an individualized treatment strategy. Two options of substance treatment facilities in Gilberton can help you succeed: either Inpatient or Outpatient Rehabilitation. Residential therapy offers long lasting benefits with an extended stay in a highly-rated rehabilitation program. Outpatient plans may be more suitable, but lack the support and resources of 30-day programs to get clean. Ultimately, the decision is yours, and we are here to help you find the best option.
Dual diagnosis refers to a person who is simultaneously battling both a drug or alcohol abuse problem and behavioral or mental issues. For instance, an addiction to benzodiazepines, Vicodin or Suboxone combined with anger management issues or an internet addiction. For these cases, a residential treatment center becomes even more desirable, incorporating quality inpatient therapy with support group aid, such as one might see in Alcoholics Anonymous. Luxury drug rehabs in Gilberton, Pennsylvania will provide the latest treatment with upscale amenities for anyone requiring the very best drug rehab, just as Gilberton alcohol rehab centers will help those battling alcohol addiction to get sober.
Note About Insurance for Addiction Treatment: Magellan Health Services, Mental Health Network and COBRA usually cover at least a portion of your addiction treatment, and you can find out more about your own coverage or benefit status here.
Our comprehensive online catalog provides many alternatives in Gilberton, PA to help you get over your substance abuse problem. Once you have decided to get clean, you've taken the initial step to success. Our toll-free hotline advisors can then help you move to the next phase to recover from substance abuse with the perfect programs in Gilberton.

MDJournal of Lower Genital Tract Disease: July 2013 - Volume 17 - Issue 3 - p 248–254 doi: 10.1097/LGT.0b013e31827527e3 Original Articles Abstract In Brief Author Information Objective: This study aimed to compare efficacy, tolerability, and safety of trichloroacetic acid (TCA) painting versus monopolar spray coagulation of the cervix for treating persistent benign cervical lesions. Materials and Methods: A prospective randomized controlled trial was done in a tertiary care referral facility and university hospital. A total of 246 cases with objective evidence of benign cervical lesions were divided into 2 groups according to the line of management. Group A was composed of 126 cases subjected to spray monopolar coagulation, whereas group B was composed of 120 cases subjected to TCA application. Cervical smearing and colposcopy with or without cervical biopsy were performed to exclude underlying malignant lesions. Trichloroacetic acid painting or spray monopolar coagulation of the benign cervical lesion(s) was also performed. Follow-up was performed to assess relief of symptoms and cervical morphology for 1 month. Main outcome measures include success of management tool, relief of symptoms, and normal cervical morphology after 1 month of therapy. Results: A statistically significant cure rate of cervical lesions after treatment in both groups without significant difference between both groups was reported. Failure rate was reported more in group B than group A mainly owing to hypertrophied ectopy and cervical polyp. Patient in group A reported low satisfaction (26.9%) and poor tolerability rate (44.5%) as compared with patients in group B, who reported high satisfaction (77.5%) and good tolerability rate (77.5%), this difference was statistically significant. Conclusions: Both topical application of 70% TCA and monopolar spray coagulation offer considerable efficacy, acceptable success rates, and minimal complications. Spray coagulation is significantly superior in terms of less persistent or incompletely healed lesions. Nevertheless, topical application of 70% TCA has the advantages of simplicity, higher patient tolerability, and safety, which can be widely used by gynecologists who have limited experience with surgical procedures. It is highly recommended if the cervical lesion is ectopy or nonspecific cervicitis but not hypertrophic lesion such as hypertrophic ectopy or polyp. Spray monopolar diathermy is as effective as 70% trichloroacetic acid for treating benign cervical lesions.

Residential Interior Design Trends - November 2012
By Sonya Jennings
Brown to grey, light to dark, traditional to contemporary—some interior furnishings trends cycle in and out and others fade away. We spoke with three upper-end, residential interior designers in three different regions of the country. There are interesting similarities and differences in their observations as to what is trending in the design world and how we got here.
Joe Tice of Memphis based Joe Tice Interiors, Robert Wright of San Diego's Bast/Wright Interiors and Jennifer Dumoulin of Cincinnati's Jen Dumoulin Designs each offer unique regional perspectives on current home interior fashion, including which flooring products are popular with the contemporary consumer, which colors are fashionable now and the mindset of today's residential client on budget and quality.
Robert Wright, Bast/Wright
Interiors, San Diego, California
Robert Wright of Bast/Wright Interiors has spent 21 years helping his clients keep their homes current with the latest styling trends. His firm of seven employees serves higher end clients mainly in southern California, although he has completed projects in other places like Hawaii and Boston. He is seeing a contemporary modern style trend with open and airy spaces featuring natural materials like wood used in a clean, modern way. His clients are remodeling for a different purpose in this climate of low home values. It was popular in the past to have a "Flip This House" mentality of lower quality, lower cost, sell and make a profit. However, clients are now investing more upfront because they plan on staying in the home long term. They want to create quality environments in which to raise a family, entertain and grow old. Quick fix products that look good but won't last are not part of the equation for his clients.
The challenge is always to put a home's square footage to its best use, so Wright tries to connect to the outdoors and visually extend the sight line by unifying flooring. From the outdoor flooring surfaces to the interior, color is unified to create the illusion of a much larger area. He prefers using flooring materials that perform outside, like stone and wood, on the main floor. For tile, Wright leans toward natural stone tile or porcelain. The tumbled edge tile is moving out and being replaced with tailored, tighter edges and square edged looks. This trend is part of the transformation toward a modern, cleaner look.
In the kitchen, Wright is using a lot of cork flooring. It provides comfort, particularly for older clients. He notes, "If a client is dealing with any type of health issue, for instance, I recently had a lady with osteoporosis, a softer gentler cork floor will help with comfort level." People spend a lot of time in kitchens, and cork provides that underfoot comfort.
Wright is seeing the industry move to a greyer palette, with bleached woods like oak becoming more popular. Planks of wood are becoming narrower after a widening trend, and typically 2" or 2½" planks are chosen. He adds, "The contemporary mid-century modern oak floors have been rediscovered, again, in a move toward a sleeker look."
Approximately 85% of the flooring Wright uses is hard surface, with carpet typically used as an accent with a bound broadloom or carpet tiles. Occasionally, he will use carpet for an entire room. When placing carpet, Wright likes the low pile and tight tailored look of commercial carpet. He sees an opportunity for manufacturers to bring more of this look into the residential arena. Clients like commercial carpet for its sleek look, and it is perceived as better for those with allergies as there are fewer places for dust and germs to hide. The palette is a bit dark in commercial carpet for the West Coast, but he still uses it in select rooms. He would encourage commercial carpet manufacturers to bring this style of carpet into the residential market with a lighter color palette. Wright comments, "The hospitality market influences commercial and commercial influences residential, and so on. We are all borrowing the best from each other."
Using carpet tile to create area rugs has become a popular practice for Wright. On wood floors in art studios, children's rooms, and even master bedrooms, carpet tile allows him to create a custom design. Also, the ease of replacement, particularly in the art studio or children's rooms, is another advantage of carpet tile. Spills and stains that cannot be removed are easily remedied with a replacement tile. He has used traditional carpet in a home theater or study, and in those cases he prefers a nylon or wool fiber. Wright notes that wool is not as cost prohibitive as it used to be.
Joe Tice, Joe Tice Interiors
Memphis, Tennessee
Serving Memphis for 29 years, Joe Tice designs for local clients and many outside his zip code in places like California, New York, Florida, and many states in between. His clients are mostly high income, and located and in the middle to older age group. Most of his new business comes from referrals—friends of current and past clients. These clients have enough experience to choose wisely, having lived long enough to have made expensive design mistakes in the past. Tice sees a transitional, contemporary trend and a shift toward less cluttered, simpler spaces. Due to the economy, there is less money to spend, so the investment items are neutral and the color trends are seen in accessory items that can be replaced at minimal cost.
To find current colors, Joe Tice looks to women's fashion for the upcoming season. He studies the runway looks in Milan during the spring and fall fashion weeks to find the colors that will be trending. He usually travels to Milan to be in attendance, but when he cannot, he sifts through the main fashion highlights and assumes the same colors will be trending here in the U.S. "It used to be that it would take a while for America to follow the Italian fashion trends," says Tice. "Now it takes place almost immediately."
Tice adds, "During a booming economy, there is a lot more color; in a down economy, neutrals are everywhere. You'd think it would be the opposite, more color to bring some cheer in a down economy, but clients look to make their dollars go farther and last longer, so they choose neutral colors for investment items." Neutrals are moving away from a brown palette to greys and silvers, and he is seeing a lot more cream than true white. For pops of color, chartreuse is gaining in popularity.
For living rooms, dining rooms, master bedrooms and even kitchens, Tice is placing mostly hardwood. He's seen a shift to American hardwood from exotics. Colors are going darker with few natural looks, and higher gloss wood flooring is becoming more popular than matte finishes. Cork flooring is trending particularly with environmentally conscious buyers, but he likes to place it in rooms with no exterior opening because a lot of sand or dirt can wear down the floor. It's suitable for interior rooms, especially in environments where a soft, forgiving, soundproof floor is needed. Cork is water resistant and does not stain easily if a spill is cleaned quickly, so it's great for children's rooms. Bamboo is also popular, but not in places like Memphis because of the humidity. In Tice's experience, bamboo tends to curl when damp, so he only uses this flooring in drier climates. He generally uses area rugs or bound broadloom rugs over hardwood flooring, and in terms of design, he's noticed a shift away from traditional Eastern designs to a simpler modern look.
Tice uses carpet in upstairs bedrooms with a focus on wool and nylon. He has noticed cut and loop texture becoming popular because it shows less wear and can offer patterns and textures. Tile is used in some kitchens and most bathrooms. Porcelain and natural stone tile are featured with glass or metallic tile accents. In large rooms, he has placed a wood and tile combination floor with wood bordering a large tile area in the center of the room. Larger tiles like 18"x18" or 24"x24" are more popular than smaller sizes, as are tiles that look like slate or limestone but offer no maintenance.
Jennifer Dumoulin, Jen Dumoulin Designs,
Cincinnati, Ohio
Jennifer Dumoulin has spent 25 years in the design business. After working for a larger firm for many years, she went out on her own as a designer earlier this year. This proved to be a great decision, because she has been busier than ever helping clients transform their spaces. Many are remodeling to stay longer in the home, and Demoulin has noticed her clients gravitating more towards prudent choices and taking the time to think through design decisions. Large ticket items like furniture and flooring are mostly following a neutral color palette with splashes of trending colors. She says, "In good economic times, you might have had clients looking at that big splashy sofa, but now they will choose a neutral sofa and add the same splashes of color in a lamp, vase, or artwork."
Like our other designers, Dumoulin is noticing a more contemporary look with quiet, clean lines. Mixed in are big, bold, bright accessories like pillows, lamps, sculpture and fabrics. With the contemporary trend, the shift is away from yellow-based colors and toward a grey palette. She says, "Grey has a new life because of the advances in paint and fabric. There is a subtle luminescence to it, letting light reflect and keeping it from looking flat. There is a lot more dimension happening with grey."
Dumoulin is impressed with the technological advances in carpet, making it an attractive flooring choice for her clients. The new designs, textures, depths, friezes and comfortable pile looks have offered a reinvention of carpet as we know it. She's finding that wool is more affordable than it used to be, and therefore it works for people with a budget. The same depth and light reflectiveness in paint and fabric is showing in new carpet products as well.
Most of Dumoulin's clients are choosing larger rather than smaller tile flooring. Natural stone or porcelain that mimics natural stone is very popular. In kitchens, she's placing wood or tile, but she encourages the use of wood because standing a lot in the kitchen calls for a more forgiving floor. In family rooms, she is placing mostly wood or tile with a large bound broadloom rug. Distressed hardwood and reclaimed wood are popular with greyer stains like driftwood. Darker stains are still more popular than light or natural, and larger 5" planks are trending with her clients. Carpet is still king in bedrooms.
I scope trade shows and evaluate the latest in fabrics and other interior furnishings to see which themes are emerging. It is important to distinguish between a fad and a true trend that will have some longevity. Being involved with product development for 25 years, I approach trends in a practical sort of way and try not to complicate the overall design direction.

I got an email from my dad over the weekend asking me whether Mr. EB and I wanted to join him and my mom for a wine tasting event in a couple of weeks. This is not an abnormal type of email to receive from him, given his love of wine and the fun he has finding new wineries to add to his list of favorites. But at the very end of his email he made an off-hand comment saying "Mrs. EB I see you've changed your name. Cool."
My reaction to this email was: 1) Heck yes on the wine tasting! and 2) Huh? I haven't done anything about changing my name yet. What on earth is he talking about?
So I asked him that and he said that in Gmail (which is the email program that we both use) when he typed my name into the address bar it came up as FirstName NewLastName, even though he could see that my email address was still email@example.com.
I have to admit, this one had me stumped.
He hadn't changed anything in Gmail on his end, and I hadn't done anything yet to change my name in any of my online accounts, so I had no idea how this had happened! I sat there for awhile thinking that Gmail truly did know all and had mined my emails and blogger posts where I talked about how I was planning on changing my name, and they figured out what my new name was going to be and they totally changed it for me!
Um, no. They didn't. Turns out my dad had changed my name in his phone (which uses the Android operating system) and it ended up filtering out to his Gmail account a day or so later.
So while Gmail may be all powerful in many ways, they have not yet started changing peoples' names for them. Yet.

Family courts 'letting down the victims of domestic abuse'
The family courts have been described as "subhuman" - a place where victims of domestic violence are often left feeling no one can protect them.
The "appalling" lack of privacy in Dolphin House, Dublin's main family court, has meant many women suffering violence at the hands of their partners have been forced to sit across from their abusers as they wait to have their case heard.
Ursula Regan, chair of Women's Aid, outlined the conditions at the launch of a report into domestic abuse in Ireland. "One instance of this has never left me… there was a very distressed female who was trying to instruct her barrister and as I walked by, she said: 'You're not getting this. I was raped last night. I want protection'."
"In that moment, that poor woman was stripped of her dignity. She, like many others, had no privacy because of the shocking lack of facilities afforded to those seeking help in the family courts."
This bleak appraisal of Ireland's biggest family court was given during the launch of Women Aid's new Impact Report, which revealed there were 22,341 reports of domestic abuse against women and children in Ireland in 2015.
Describing the experiences of those who contacted their free helpline or one-to-one services, the group disclosed a litany of instances where women had been kept prisoner in their own homes, cut with knives, strangled and slapped while pregnant, spat on, and even one shocking case where an 18-year-old had begun to join his father beating his mother.
"In the last 20 years, 46pc of women were killed by their partner's own hands," said Margaret Martin, Director of Women's Aid since 2003. "As our figures show, a man's bare hands can be as dangerous as any weapon."
Justice Minister Frances Fitzgerald said efforts were under way to improve conditions at the family courts, and that it was "likely" the Government would ratify the Istanbul Convention [on preventing violence against women] later in the year.

My wife and I are planning a trip to Sri Lanka mid-Sept. (13-26th). I've spent many hours reading amazing trip reports kindly posted by numerous authors on this site. We've pulled together a trip plan, would appreciate anyone's thoughts.
We plan to book the first half through an agent (eg: Boutique Sri Lanka) and travel via driver up until to Kandy, then we will move to train/taxi as we like the idea of having some independence. We've both travelled a lot and are happy to explore places and organise as we go. We're Irish, in our mid-thirties, easy going and want to get a flavour of different types of Sri Lanka. We like the outdoors and love to get out hiking. We love food and are looking forward to tasting all that Sri Lanka has to offer. Accommodation wise we're happy so long as it's clean and relatively comfortable. We like smaller places with character and don't tend to enjoy larger commercial resorts as much. We will plan to splurge a little in the cultural triangle, but hope to step it back after that. No 5 star hotels, equally, no party palaces. Aiming for $50-60 a night. I've read that booking hotels in advance is a lot cheaper due to rack rates. Will leaving the booking of accommodation in the second half be a problem?
Our plan at the moment is as follows:
Arrive Sat 13th @ 9pm (night) – trying to decide whether to stay in Negombo or head north to Horathopola. Is it possible to get to Horathopola at this time of night? Leaving at 10pm, assuming 1hr to clear airport? Or is the weather likely to be bad there this time of year, therefore, making more sense to overnight in Negombo and head straight to CT the next day. Thoughts?
Sun 14th: relax in Horathopola (tbd weather). Sun 14/Mon 15th: Drive to Cultural triangle, stay in either Cinnamon Lodge or Heritance Kandalama. Spend 2-3 nights. Visit Dambulla, Sigiriya, maybe Pollonoruwa as day trips.
Wed (17) travel to Kandy, spend 1 night. Stay in Queens.
Plan is to part company with driver here. Thurs (18th), take the train to Ella. Any recommendations for places to stay in Ella. Hoping for cheap and cheerful here as hoping to be outside hiking during the day. Plan to spend 3 nights here. Can anyone recommend a cooking course?
Sun – Fri – This is the part we are having trouble deciding on. We'd like to head to the coast and spend a few days in the sun relaxing/reading books/swimming etc. Would be nice to have water sports (surfing/diving/snorkelling ). The two places we are looking at are 1) South east coast – Tangalle or 2) Arugam bay (east coast). We are contemplating not booking this part until closer to the time – depending on weather we will chose one over the other. Is this a good idea? Any issues with this?
Have read that the weather in the south can be nice this time of year, (but also not so nice). Have read that the water can be wild though. We can both swim well (comfortable swimming 1km off west coast of Ireland), but not sure how wild is wild for the water in the south? If we go South, we may move after a few days to Marissa, to be closer to the airport on the last day. Any recommendations for this?
For Arugam bay, any recommendations for accommodation? Are we likely to get better weather here versus the South? Is there a particular area that is recommended?
Fri 26th, fly from Colombo at 10pm. How safe is it to leave travelling back from the east or south coast on that day? We plan to hire a driver and car locally.
Many thanks for your help,

A few thoughts: I'd spend the first night in Negombo. I wouldn't want to be on the road any longer than necessary late at nights after a long flight. I am unable to find Horathopola on my map -maybe there is another spelling? In any case early the next morning I'd head to the Dambulla area. I think you need a minimum of three nights in the area (that is just two full days) to visit the must-sees: Dambulla Cave Temples, Sigiriya, and Polonnaruwa. We loved the Kandalama and would stay there again.
Sorry, can't help with beaches, as we didn't visit any. One caution to you - travel takes longer - much longer than you would expect given the distances. If google says it takes two hours, it will take 4 to 6 hours.

Hi Kathie,
Thanks a million for replying. I've read your trip report (More than once )and it was one of the reports I was basing my itinerary for the earlier part of the holiday (amongst others)
Horathapola estate is about an hour north east of the airport according to their website http://www.horathapola.com/location/ looked nice and we thought it might be nice after the long flight. There's not much to do there which would be perfect if the weather was ok but might be a waste if not.
Can you or anyone else comment on any of the general questions such as whether the plan to wait until around kandy to decide which beach is best could cause issues?
Report Abuse
Horathapola looks lovely. I was thinking it was a town and couldn't find it on the map! That looks like it wouldn't be much out of the way - if you can get there in an hour.
Sorry, I really don't know how easy it would be to make lodging choices on the fly. Generally, booking in advance gets you better - sometimes much better - prices. And I don't know how busy it would be so whether places might be full.
Have a wonderful trip. We loved Sri Lanka.

We were travelling at a different time of year ( feb - March ) an did exactly as you are suggesting I.e. Wait and see. we headed for the South coast and tried several locations. Goyambokka ( near Tangalle) , Weligama , Mirrissa and Galle. We struggled a little to find accomodation in some places but always found something reasonable. Our favourite place was Goyambokka, a small beach, good swimming and some nice beach shacks selling seafood. More of a "local" feel than Mirrissa which was bigger but very pretty, bigger hotels and more people. My recollection is that there was good surfing there.
We had planned to visit Yala but found that to be completely booked up so had to change our plans. That was in 2011 at the time of the worst floods in decades so maybe that affected availability. There did seem to be a shortage of accomodation back then.
My concern with your plan would be that, as you are travelling as the monsoon, others have the same idea as you.

Thanks guys for the answers.
Crellston, how did you book the accommodation on the fly? Did you book directly or via sites like hotels.com/hostelworld etc? is there a potential benifit to one over the other? Has anyone used AirBnB?
Does anyone have a recommendation for accommodation in Ella?

We would just turn up at a location ( having done a little research beforehand) and have a look at 2 or 3 places and pick one we liked.we were staying mostly in budget and mid range places with en suite facilities and aircon ( most of the time). I think I used hostelworld fro research but didn't book with them but more often than not we just stumbled upon a place.
That really only applied to our 10 days spent on the coast. Elsewhere, everything seemed to be booked solid. We had to change hotels a couple of time in the Cultural triangle and Kandy and really struggled to find anywhere. I suppose the main benefit is that you get to look at the rooms before deciding to stay. Not that important if staying in upper range places but v. Important in budget and mid range places where often things are not as advertised in SL!
highly recommend Mountain Heavens in Ella mentioned in the previous post. Fantastic views!
Here is a link to my TR from a couple of years ago with some more detail
Re "If we go South, we may move after a few days to Marissa, to be closer to the airport on the last day. Any recommendations for this?
I THINK there is a new, faster road open from the South but do check! We stayed in Galle before heading back to the airport. It turned out to be an 6 hour drive which was a real pain! Mirrissa is a few hours drive from Galle.

I traveled the same year as crellston, and had similar problems. I abandoned the idea of going to Yala as I couldn't find acceptable accommodation, booking a month or so ahead. I wanted to change hotels in Kandy and spent a morning looking for somewhere with no success. I don't know whether I would have had more success on the coast, as I booked ahead, but it seemed pretty crowded. However, I was traveling in January.

There is a expressway from Matara (southern end of the island)to Colombo (capital city). It is a 1 hour 30 Minutes drive. Another from Colombo to BIA (25 Minutes distance). There are exits to Galle and Mirissa from Southern Expressway. Monsoon had a late start and right now it is rainy in Galle/Mirissa area; but; will be clear in next few days.

Thanks everyone for answering. Our plans have firmed up a lot at this stage and there's only one or two questions left which would be great to get some advice on.
Our plans are as follows. We've booked the first 5 nights accommodation and a car and driver through boutique S L as they came in considerably cheaper than red dot who we also got to quote. We staying first night in araliya lodge in Negombo, then up to cinnamon lodge for three nights) ( would have loved to stay in kandalama but BSL came up with a great price of 400$ for 3 night half board). We'll do day trips to Polonnaruwa and sigiriya and the dambulla caves. The on to kandy where we'll stay at the Queens for one night. Getting the expo train to ella and booked a hopefully nice b&b via airb&b (ella mount) for three nights. The plan at that point is probably to go to arugam bay as the weather is likely to be better there than on the south coasts (if not we'll likely change our plans and head to the tangalla area).
So to the questions:
1. Has anyone got a suggestion for places to visit between negombo and the cultural triangle. We don't want to visit pinawella orphanage and we're thinking of Yapahuwa (sp) but we're told this was not on the way? Is it a long way out?
2. Is it worth going to kandalama for lunch? Expensive? Seeing sigiriya in the morning, lunch in Kandalama and the on to dambulla caves one of the days is a tentative plan.
3. As we're only spending one day in Kandy should we get there as early as possible from the CT by not stopping on the trip down?
4. Can anyone recommend a cooking class in Ella. Ella spice garden??
5. We fly from Colombo at 9pm. Is it reasonable to leave arugam bay early in the morning (6am) via taxi and make our flights? Any good places to stop on the way? Or would it make more sense to break the journey up and spend a night along the way?
Thanks in advance for any answers.

I'd say go straight from Negombo to the cultural triangle.
The Kandalama was not terribly expensive for lunch, though I can't remember the exact price.
I thought I'd love Kandy - but I didn't. It is supposed to be the place to shop, but we saw nothing exceptional, and the prices were very high. The only thing I bought there were vanilla beans. The Temple of the Tooth is well worth seeing, but not much else. We loved the place we stayed - The Kandy House - and wished we had more time there.
Sorry, don't know about cooking classes in Ella. My experience of the various spice gardens is that they were mostly interested in selling various ayurevedic treatments and not much else. I can't imagine doing a cooking class at the spice garden we visited. Ask your hotel for a recommendation.
I can't help you with your return drive to the airport, but I'm sure Mohammend knows.

Thank Kathie.
Can anyone else help with any of the questions but in particular on the last one about getting back to the airport from Arugam bay on the day of our flight.

Dajin Resources Corp. (Dajin) is a resource exploration company focused on the exploration and development of energy metal projects with strategically located brine based lithium targets in the salar basins of northwestern Argentina and Nevada, USA.
Dajin holds 100% interest in 403 claims covering 3,202 hectares (7,914 acres) located on a desert playa known as Teels Marsh in Mineral County, Nevada. This is a potential brine-based lithium target with confirmed lithium and boron mineralization.The playa is located east of the Long Valley Caldera, California, site of a large volcanic eruption. Ash from this eruption may have contributed lithium and boron to the deposits in the Teels Lake playa.
In addition to the Teels Marsh project, Dajin also has a 100% interest in 191 placer claims totaling 1,552 hectares (3,834 acres) in Alkali Lake, Esmeralda County, Nevada, just 11 km from Rockwood Lithium Mine, North America's only producing brine based lithium mine.
A third property in Nevada's "Lithium Hub" was recently staked by Dajin in Gabbs Valley, Mineral County, Nevada. The Gabbs Valley lithium project is made up of 690 placer claims totaling 5,860 hectares (14,500 acres), situated in the lower-elevation western portion of Gabbs Valley, where a playa (salar) with surface salt and mud flats occurs.
Dajin Resources Corp, also holds a 100% interest in 25 mineral concessions totalling 93,000 hectares (230,000 acres) in a salt flat known as Salinas Grandes in Jujuy Province, Argentina. These claims sit within the "Lithium Triangle" which is reported to contain in excess of 80% of the world's supply of lithium. On August 8, 2016, Dajin's wholly owned Argentinian subsidiary, Dajin Resources S. A., signed a binding Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with Lithium S Corporation ("LSC") whereby LSC will be granted an option to earn a 51% interest in Dajin's lithium properties in Argentina.

The $46,000 price tag would be enough to deter many homeowners.
Not Matt Peterson. He recently installed a 6.4-kilowatt solar system on his house in Hazel Dell that ties into the public power grid. But then again, he's looking at the long term.
With federal tax credits, a state incentive program and savings on his electrical bill, he hopes to recoup about $41,000 of that initial investment over the next decade or so.
"If I was going to do it, I wanted to maximize the possible incentives," Peterson said. "I thought I'd save some money, and, hey, it helps the environment at the same time."
With a federal tax credit set to expire in 2016, and a state incentive program sunsetting in 2020, more homeowners are joining Peterson.
"My phone rings quite a bit," said Sam Walker, who administers solar energy programs for Clark Public Utilities.
Clark County has 90 solar installations, 70 on private residences. Thirty-six of those were installed in 2011, with another 20 going in so far this year. Clark Public Utilities administers the state of Washington's production incentive program on behalf of the Department of Revenue.
When homeowners call the utility about installing solar panels, Walker asks them if they have implemented energy-efficiency measures first: Does the home have a heat pump, compact fluorescent light bulbs and good insulation? Are appliances energy efficient? Windows weatherized?
"Solar is expensive. It is not a cost-effective way to immediately lower your energy bill," Walker said. "If that's a homeowner's primary goal, other energy-efficiency measures are a far better option."
Once those measures are in place, a solar system might make sense, Walker said.
"Still, with incentives, there is still a decent payback," Walker said. "People aren't just doing this because it's the right thing to do. They're doing it because it's a good longer-term business decision."
Installing solar panels takes significant upfront investment. Peterson tapped Clark Public Utilities' low-interest loan program for his project. He tried to comparison shop for equipment, but found pinning down costs a bit frustrating.
"Normally when you buy things you can get a price for them. With solar panels, they don't give you what each one costs. It's always a package price," Peterson said.
Homeowners can expect to pay $5 to $8 per installed watt. "A 1 kilowatt system is going to cost anywhere from $5,000 to $8,000," Walker said. "I recommend getting three bids."
Solar World, for example, is a local producer of panels, but it's based in Oregon. Prices may be lower, but homeowners maximize the state incentive only if they buy equipment manufactured in Washington.
Contractors can help with a price analysis taking into account tax credits and incentives, Walker said. The utility maintains a list of solar contractors on its website.
Take care when calculating how much you will save on your electrical bill, Peterson cautions.
"I had an overly optimistic expectation of production," he said. He had hoped for a solar system that would generate all the power his family of five would need. On sunny days, he produces about 20 kWh, but his 2,200-square-foot house uses an average of 44 kWh a day.
Even so, he's not sorry he installed a solar system. In fact, he has plans to expand it. Phase 1, as he calls it, began generating power in May, so he hasn't seen a full month's electrical bill yet. It's one bill he's eager to open.

That's very true! Spanish is Spanish everywhere. I haven't met that native Spanish speaker that I can't understand or communicate with without any problem.
Here in the USA I have friends from all over Latin American and we all understand each other perfectly. If one person used a colloquialism from their country we just ask what that mean if it not clear from the conversation we are having.
I used to work with a Pakistani guy and he spoke decent Spanish and we talked to him in Spanish and joked in Spanish with him.
Once a guy from coastal Hondura was hired and he spoke Spanish faster than lighting and he had a accent and weird sound. Of course all the Latinos at work understood him with no problem. The Pakistani why ask us in Spanish: He is not speaking
Spanish? He couldn't understand a word that the Honduran guy was speaking. All the Latinos in the room told, yes he is. He was confused because he couldn't understand and we (Latinos) could.
I also met a guy from Equatorial Guinea in Africa and we understood each other perfectly.
