"What a life" was something we'd say when there didn't seem like anything else to say.
The first time I thought this phrase the way I'd think it for the next few months, I was sitting across from a Thai cowboy. He wasn't a real cowboy though he wore the hat. Cowboy is the name of his bar.
He sat with his wife, sipping and constantly refilling a glass of whiskey and soda, his wife sometimes going for more ice.
He left home at a young age and found work as a chef for theU.S.army, where he'd learned to speak English and cook western. Decades later, he opened a bar tucked into one of those smaller passageways that fit into the streets of Chang Mai.
It wasn't the travel or the family or the decades of stories that put a "What a life" under my breath. It was his daily schedule. He woke up, cooked for the kids, opened the bar, closed it when he was tired, got drunk in the in-between. He considered himself a content man.
What a life.
The only other person in there was an old friend of the Cowboy's—English, old and bald, speaking nonsense. He'd come to the table where we were sitting, try to speak, and be shooed away by Cowboy who was having none of it. He cleaned furniture for a living, and even if the booze hadn't done him in that night, the decades working with chemicals had mushed his mind. He visitedThailanda few months every year. He didn't have anyone back home. What a life. In a different way.
There's a tendency to be shocked by what you see and also by what you don't notice anymore. "What a life" was a recurring thought, a response to the incredulous. The kids on the beach who build a bracelet on your wrist on the spot? What a life. The tour guide who points out his house and, without skipping a beat, points out the adjacent killing field where his family died? What a life. The tuk-tuk drivers, men in as many industries as they have fingers—pimps, drug dealers, tour guides, drivers, police informants, whatever else might be paying at the moment; the motobike taxis, who take the tuk-tuk drivers' ambitions and prop it on a suicidal weave through big city traffic; their counterparts on trishaws, motos, and cyclos. The bar girls, young and thin and glossed with make up, looking for sugar daddies. The old men, fat and pasty and tall, looking for Thai "wives". The women dressed to find a john. The men dressed as the women. The guys they let screw them and then rob. What a life.
The old man in the sleepy tourist attraction town in Myanmar whose job it is to unclog my friend's toilet, whose age suggests he's lived through not just Cyclone Nargis, the riots and shootings of his country's recent history, the release and many arrests of Aung Sang Suu Kyi, but also the inception of his country, its partition from India, even World War 2, who walks into my friend's room, bucket in hand, ready for shit duty, and smiles. What a life.
The old toothless woman who distills rice moonshine out of a shack and sells it for 50 cents a bottle. The Lebanese painter who describes this jetset "as his life" and then tells me about places I saw as a child and will never go back to. The journalists dancing on the riverside, on a brief vacation laughing, dancing, tripping when a few days ago they were inEgyptwhenEgyptwas ousting its president. Mr. Lao Lao's son, serving the hard drink on the river, his entire body drawn on with magic marker and dancing around the dock as the water rises, intoxicated foreigners all around him. What a life.
The Mustache Brothers (deserving of a blog post of their own), resigned to house arrest, performing the same show every night, its host smiling on cue, looking tired and weary when the spotlight's on his brothers, who spent seven years in work camps doing hard labor for telling jokes ("Do you think," my friend asks later, "that they ever just get the urge to go outside and dig a ditch?"), and the people you see from your bus window as you leave building a new pagoda in a country that uses forced labor and believes that building pagodas can offset bad karma. What a fucking life (apparently to be reincarnated in).
The crap police informants you notice following you, and the better ones you don't notice. The kids hawking cheap wares and making rational arguments in your language as to why you should buy. The girls learning to balance baskets on their heads by practicing with bricks. The makeshift family that doesn't sell anything and lives in a shack and plays their music on the beach. What a life.
There's the foreigner at a random train station. A volunteer English teacher in smalltown Thailand, younger than me, who's almost on his way out, who will next walk the Camino de Santiago and follow that up with Burning Man, who admits that while it's awesome that he's based the rest of his year around festivals, what's seems most important, most exciting is doing things with the people in his life he's been off from.
And let's not forget the animals: the monkeys and birds in cages and chains, doing the dance so their owners get money and they get snacks; the stray dogs wandering in packs, begging, roaming the car parks, the sole thing you see against the moon on the streets at night, battling amongst each other for turf, for fun, for a stick; the horses—the poor horses—marching through the heat, carrying at least two fat foreigners and the driver, in some towns the main source of transport and no other way about it but miserable. "What does the horse get out of it?" my friend asks as it steers us towards a semi-famous ruins site. Maybe something at the end. Maybe some sweet, sweet hay.
Then again, as someone suggests after a day spent wandering a village and drinking a tea-whiskey concoction that's supposed to make us tired and healthy, what about us? What about we who go from place to place without any particular reason, acclimated to the long bus rides, the winding roads, the stenches and bathrooms that will never see porcelain? A little thing I found out was that almost every foreigner I met going through SoutheastAsiakept with them sleeping pills for the long bus rides. So much so that in conversation it stopped being a question and became more of an assumption, something you'd compare or share as the novelty of going somewhere else faded into the reality of a bumpy, disorienting ride.
There are people who live in countries of tremendous beauty who have never gone the50 milesbetween their home and that incredible beach or mountain because they can't afford to, and we do it in a single run and we tell them about it and ask questions, and they smile and at least act like they're happy for us. We who go just because we can, spoiled for travel, eating and drinking whatever and whenever we want, jumping out of planes and onto buses, living lives that are equally strange and infinitely more charmed, doing nothing as people ask, incredulously, as if they don't understand, if we're actually just going until we run out of whatever, no phone, no travel insurance, no plan. What a life.
But, of course, it can't last, and a little later, I can't help but ask my friend if, when he returns to the states, he'll just get the urge to go off and take a 14 hour bus ride. Imagine him seeking out the shittest bathrooms and the worst bus seat and soaking in the smells of being sandwiched between someone throwing up into a bottle on one side and someone spitting betel nut out the window on the other, thinking contently before the sleeping pills kick in that this, indeed, is the life.
Thanks to Samy Amanatullah, for this great guest post!
"How much does your life weigh?" is the staple question of George Clooney's motivational speech in Up in the Air. It's a springboard for inviting his audience of slack-jawed hangers-on to try and fit all their STUFF–their possessions, their fixtures, their relationships—into a backpack. And its end result is the condemnation of long-term relationships (girlfriends, mortgages) and, for our purposes, STUFF.
Go look in the mirror, take a look that can be short but make it hard. There is either some part of you that agrees with this statement, that has contemplated dumping everything, walking away, or you just don't dig it. Anyone who's been backpacking has answered this question at some point, even if they don't realize it. STUFF, if we're being honest, is a pain in the ass. When I said goodbye to South Korea (as well as the lovely and gorgeous host of this blog) to travel around Southeast Asia, everything I thought I'd need had been (over)stuffed into a bag.
My plan was to travel for a little, celebrate the solar new year, then look for work in Cambodia, maybe Thailand, possibly Laos—someplace where snow wouldn't be an issue and I could get a decent sandwich (Full disclosure: this plan was amended from an earlier plan). Everything went into that travel bag—warm weather clothes, two sweatshirts, two flasks, underwear abundant, socks, clothes that could be worn for job business, a pair of sports shoes—clunky clunky sports shoes. This thing was overpacked, bursting. I got it closed, but opening it again, as the dicks at airport security made me do was the least pleasant thing in the world. Turning up nothing of concern and seeing that they'd opened a storm, security personnel pushed the bag towards me and looked towards the line that wasn't behind me or anywhere. Deal with it.
The next day, I bought a $7 backpack off the street to split the load. I still felt conspicuous. Jam-packed, but with what? I described my load earlier, and I'm still not sure. So it was that as I got further from my plan, I shed.
In Up in the Air, Clooney is a frequent flying loaner, gleefully forsaking conventional relationships to jet set around America, proudly living out of a backpack the whole while. Desert island questions (as in, If you were stuck on a desert island and could only take 5 books/items/etc…) are designed to gauge one's personality via their possessions. Forsaking the comfort of STUFF, paring down your possessions, evokes a simplicity associated with Buddhism or Zen.
At the very least, it impresses people. "I quite admirable that he travel with simple luggage," my couchsurfing host in Taipei wrote of me (this was much later). A Swedish guy I met in Myanmar remarked at how little my friend and I were carrying. His pack had room for a midget and a half, and when it unzipped, spilling out over the usual suspects was the useless—a mug, a cup, a bottle of whiskey nearly empty but tiny enough to leave a titmouse or Mormon sober, a sleeping bag and a hammock, a drum, a book (Burmese Days) among many others that he bought not out of interest but because that's what people read when they go to the country formerly known as Burma. It sometimes becomes a thing to judge people by what they're unwilling to do without. We are what we think we need.
It was before dawn on the Mekong. At one of those stops that exist only to sell foreigners crap breakfast while the border opens, the bus from Bangkok to Vientiane unloaded its cargo (older men getting away from their Thai "wives", itinerant trekkers going north, farangs working in Thailand on visa runs, backpackers, tubers-in-waiting and a small group looking for work at the tubing bars, Travelers i.e. people for whom travel has ceased to be a vacation and is now a way of life) who then lined up for coffee and toast.
Between wafts of cigarette smoke, steam pouring off coffee, and the hazing pre-dawn, they compared bags. An older English guy who'd traveled Laos before and with whom I'd end up spending much of my time there carried with him a square pack, adorned with patches of countries visited, consisting of about four shirts, two shorts, a pair of trousers, underwear ('pants' as the English say,), and shoes on his feet. Books weren't an issue because he had an iphone with the Millennium Trilogy on audio. No jacket. No sweatshirt taking up half his bag. When people asked what he did on bus rides when the air-condition blasted, his response was, "Oh, it's not that cold." His country count was in the fifties.
A middle-aged Irishman showed off his bag, also with flag patches and not much bigger than my laptop. By his standards, that bag was large. His friend, he said, who'd made a mission of going to every country or territory and had pretty much succeeded had two shirts, two pants, a pair of shoes, socks, and no underwear. Later, when I told a travel companion about that last bit, he took it to heart and went commando, an unfortunate move as the waistband to his shorts bulged in the back, leaving a view to his crack. I was taller than he, so I made a point of not walking behind him.
As they talked, I thought of my bags. I was glad that they weren't with me at the time, but I didn't feel self-conscious anymore. Yeah, they were clunky mothers—the red mingled with dirt that would cling to my black, the strip of blue drooped over my shoulder making every narrow crossing a bit awkward. They were more than I needed. But I wondered why it was that these older people could get by with less while these teenagers and twentysomethings lug 50 or 70 pounds behind them. What's the point? What're we preparing for? When we think travel, we tend to think of freedom, the open road, adventure, but when I see travelers I think turtle, snail, crustacean laboring over the dunes, trying in vain to keep its home on its back. We are what we think we need? Maybe.
"It's hard for girls. Girls are expected to dress for every occasion," says a Belgian woman as we discussed this very topic at a bar overlooking the river. And it's true, especially in the age of social networking, traveling is so many things—tourism, party, adventure, cultural exchange, culture shock, status update, profile picture—that we get caught up in being prepared for anything instead of what we're facing.
No one wants to find themselves at the top of the mountain with a dead camera, or in an excrement-floored squat bursting out the behind and suddenly without toilet paper. On the other end, you don't need a cocktail dress to go out for drinks. A hammock and a sleeping bag is probably over-doing it. It's easy to judge, so I had to wise up. That's why in some bungalow on the 4,000 Islands, there's a blue travel bag filled with all the STUFF (shoes, socks, pants, dead camera, wires, water bottles warm and plastic-tasting) I didn't need.
That's why 2 months later wandering round Taipei, my STUFF collection was a passport, carton of Bamar (i.e. Burmese) cigarettes, a fifth of apple vodka, two MP3 players, 4 books (3 for trading, 1 used tour guide), three pairs of pants (one of which was always worn), 5 shirts doing double duty as towels, board shorts, a lucky pair of Obama socks that I'd kept because they were a gift (from the lovely and gorgeous host of this blog) and because wearing them at night stopped me from scratching the mosquito feeding farm, and sweatshirt that took up half my bag, because my Southern Californian ass doesn't handle the cold well. Also, toilet paper, though that had also been a gift from a Bamar guesthouse. My STUFF was like my trip—random, disorganized, endearingly chaotic, and indulgent.
But most importantly, my STUFF was disposable. I could dump it wherever. I've left and lost and broke things in every country to which I've been. If you look in Janet's apartment, you'll find the random remainders of my life in Korea. Some Thai guesthouse has that lime orange sweatshirt that made me stick out wherever I went. In Laos, there's a pair of shoes that climbed mountains, hiked jungles, forests, and walked through some of the biggest cities on either side of the world. The time came for my grey cargo pants twice burnt-on-the-crotch and mysteriously stained with Full Moon party paint to make someone else look like a chic hobo.
My relationship with STUFF has always been strained as an adult. Moving from house to house every year in university, I came to hate it. STUFF was a symbol of oppression, of being unable to just get up and go, of being tied to one place or thing. The people I lived with swore by STUFF in one way or another. But it's different when you're traveling, the temptation for STUFF comes in many forms, but souvenirs are the best way to hemorrhage space and money. Obviously, what we need is defined by where we're to end up and how long we have till we get there, but souvenirs are for Mantle Place People, folk who have a mantle on which to put their souvenirs. I met one person whose philosophy towards souvenirs was the most agreeable I'd heard. He went by a get one/toss one rule. Every time he bought a t-shirt, he threw one out.
"How did you know you didn't need a bigger bag?" a travel companion asked me. He wasn't a Mantle Place Person either, maybe less of one than I am. When we met up in Bangkok, he looked at my knock-off Lowe Alpine bag, limit 50 pounds. How did I know? I didn't. I assumed my life would shrink or grow with the backpack, kind of like a goldfish. How much does your life weigh? It doesn't. It depends.
So I was told this week I could take a 10 day holiday from work the end of January (perfect timing as that's when I shall turn a quarter of a century (25 years old…ancient I know). The only thing I need to decide now is where to go and am in desperate need of suggestions/inspiration or even somebody to make the decsion for me so I can book those flights!
At the moment I'm debating between Thailand or the Philipines. Or maybe even China. Except come the end of January, if I have not already turned into an icicle, i'm guessing I shall want to escape to warmer pastures and not icy cold China. My friend and fellow teacher here in Korea, has been to both places and says they are both equally awesome.
Gah decisions decisions. If you have been to EITHER place please comment with your advice as to where to go/what to do!
The Philipinnes…
Amazing scuba diving, stunning beaches and fun resorts. Everything, including flights, seem to be super cheap and I have heard nothing but good things about how friendly the people are.
Who hasn't heard good things about Thailand. Super cheap, awesome beaches, full moon beach parties, thai buckets, amazing sunsets, elephant trekking, bustling Bangkok and no doubt much more.

The following events may or may not be completely veracious.
Today's adventure required that I look up local ghost stories and investigate. Given that I live in an old town, I shouldn't be able to leave the driveway without running over at least one white lady in a haunted pirate ship. New Bern is over 300 years old, the site of at least one battle (Civil War), and the birthplace of Pepsi.
I don't really know what Pepsi has to do with anything, but the guy who invented it lives in a creepy old graveyard and surely rises from his coffin each night to leave hooks on the cars of unwary coke drinkers.
Knowing all this, I thought I should be prepared. I've seen Supernatural; I knew I'd need salt in order to repel the many gray-faced specters that tried to keep me from learning the Truth. Of course I also knew my mother would probably notice if I took one of her nice Sea Salt grinders and she no longer keeps the Morton's in the house so I had to settle for some packets of Splenda.

I would check the basics first.
When an engine wont start, there are a couple of things you must check.
1. Spark at the spark plugs
2. Fuel pressure from the fuel pump
3. Fuel injectors are operating correctly (opening).
4. Engine timing is correct (cam-crankshaft timing and ignition timing)
You'll find there will be a problem with one of these, once you identify it then diagnose the circuit or system accordingly.

Audi Does Some Spring Cleaning
Apparently, everyone in this town really reveres the Audi A7. And, what better time to do some cleaning than spring, right guys? LOL, get it? (Wink wink, nudge, nudge.)
"Spring Cleaning" is one of two new spots for Audi from Venables Bell & Partners. Along with "Car Carrier," which advertises the Audi Q5, these new television ads paint the luxury car company as "Luxury Progressed," and both do so in a sort of pretentious fashion. Sure, seeing an Audi cruising around your town has definitely become a much more common site as the company continues to take market share away from competitors like Mercedes-Benz and BMW. But, do the two spots really make you want to buy and Audi? Or, do they make you kind of hate Audi drivers that much more? Credits and "Car Carrier" follow after the jump.

Samsung Pokes Fun at BlackBerry in New AdWritten by Branding Magazine Editorial / Featured in: Advertising / 22.01.2013.
Samsung is now well known for picking on competitors; This time, instead of focusing on Apple, the brand turned to a new competitor – RIM – which will soon be launching its BlackBerry 10.
In the new ad, which aired during the NFC Championship game on Sunday night, Samsung pokes fun at BlackBerry users while promoting its Galaxy Note II smartphone with SAFE technology as "the next big thing for business".
The ad shows an office in which a game called "Unicorn Apocalypse" is under development on a tight schedule. The employees are told that they can use any smartphone they want; most of them turn to Samsung while others have trouble leaving their BlackBerry's, worrying if Samsung's safe enough for work. Check it out, below:

How do you use your cloth wipes?
Find a Conversation
|Mon, 01-14-2013 - 9:24am
Using cloth wipes is a great way partner with using cloth diapers. They can save money and help the environment. They are also a really nice option for anyone who wants a stronger and more durable cloth than most disposables (ever had your hand or finger go through into the ick, or have it rip when you pull it out of the notch in the top of the container??).
With cloth wipes you have lots of options of how to make your cleaning wash/solution. You can buy them prepared and just spray or pour onto cloth wipes. Several major cloth diaper companies make wipe solutions.
Here is one by bumgenius.
And one by Thirsties.
You can also make your own. Here is a link to a bunch of different recipes for homemade wipe solution.
At home, we use some little coconut soap bits that I buy online with a few drops of essential oil (grapefruit and sandalwood). I mix these up with about 2 cups of water and pour over a big pile of clean wipes. I store them in a wipe warmer and that's it! Quick and easy.
Do you have a wipe solution that you love? What are you doing for your wipes?
|Wed, 01-16-2013 - 8:35am
|Wed, 01-16-2013 - 1:51am
For most diaper changes I just use water on my cloth wipes. I keep a Thermos pump pot on the changing able with warm water in it. For sticky or smelly changes I use a few sprays of either BumGenius Bottom Cleaner or Kissalvs Diaper Lotion Potion and then finish up with water wipes.

I don't understand how it can be claimed as 'theft'. He lost the money, no one has stole it.
Well, this one BBC News - Man leaves £80,000 on top of car then drives off
I don't understand how it can be claimed as 'theft'. He lost the money, no one has stole it.
If you find something and don't hand it in to the police or return to owner, technically it's theft. I presume the idiot returned to the scene and surprise surprise it's missing. I hope the police are also investigating how he obtained £80k in cash and that the Inland Revenue are taking an interest.
tech_guy (26th November 2010)
If you can forget that theres £80K on the roof of your car then you must have too much.
I better he feels pretty sick at his own stupidity. That's a hell of a lot of money to lose.
I once left a laptop on my roof and drove about 5 miles or so - up and down hills.
It surprisingly just stayed there.

If you find something you are supposed to take "reasonable steps" to find the owner. If it is not reasonable to find the owner you can keep it.
In the case of £80,000, it is such a large amount of money it is reasonable and practical to hand it in / find the owner. The same could be said for a wallet that has forms of ID in it.
However for £5 it may be impractical or too difficult for a reasonable person to locate the owner.
Yes but you are rather stupid to have £80K in cash in the UK you could use wire transfer.
I left my mobile phone on the roof when I was in Coventry. When I got home my son asked me if I had my phone and it was then I had the sinking feeling as I realised what I had done. He then handed me my phone. Someone had found it and called him from the addressbook. It happened he was coming our way and dropped it in. My son didn't think to ask for his details so I could thank him.
The guy was a pensioner who had no trust in banks (don't blame him to be totally honest).
Forgetfulness comes with age though...
"More money than sense" springs to mind........
My mate livesin Westcliff in Southend, he said he's going searching for it ha!.......

Birthdays are supposed to be the most awaited day of the year, an occasion to rejoice and celebrate. But this year, Salman had a busy day celebrating his birthday on the sets of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa by doing what he is best at i.e working which in his case was dance!
Recalling his childhood birthday memory, Salman says, "You won't believe but I have failed to remember my birthday four times while growing up. And later, next day, on realizing this I used to cry a lot. (Laughs)."
But this year it was something out of the routine. Salman was delighted with a cake-cutting on the set with big hugs from all the three judges- Madhuri Dixit Nene, Karan Johar and Remo Dsouza.
Salman tells us about his idea for a perfect birthday, "A perfect birthday according to me is spending half a day at the mosque in prayers, by staying disconnected with the world and treating the needful. And then later, I like to spend a peaceful time with my family and friends at dinner."
He is overwhelmed with the birthday wishes that have poured in, "It's the prayers and love of each and every fan of mine that I work this hard for. From the bottom of my heart, I would like to thank everyone for being there for me. I'm really grateful for all the love and support that I've been receiving so far. All your tweets and mails turned my day into an ideal birthday. Thank you so much!"
We at Tellybuzz wish Salman a successful year ahead!

CORPUS CHRISTI -- A motorcycle accident put a woman in the hospital with a head injury.
The crash happened at the intersection of Lipes Blvd. and Airline Rd. shortly after 9 p.m.
Police said she lost control of the bike, hit a road sign, and flew into the side of the road. She was not wearing a helmet.
She was found unconscious by witnesses, but her injuries were not believed to be life-threatening.
It is still unclear what caused her to lose control.

Ancient artifacts could be latest issue for Berthaon March 13, 2014 @ 2:53 pm (Updated: 7:33 am - 3/14/14 )
WSDOT announced Thursday the manufacturer of the drill, Japan's Hitachi-Zosen, has come up with a tentative plan to dig a shaft to the machine stalled 120-feet below the surface to determine the cause of the problems that halted drilling in December.
Workers started boring a series of 4-inch wide probes Thursday to determine if archaeological work is needed.
It's a part of the tunnel project's environmental review process, and because of changes in WSDOT's digging depths, they must complete additional cultural resources survey work.
"This work is being coordinated with the Washington State Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation (DAHP) and tribal governments that are consulting on the project," said WSDOT in a news release.
The shaft will be dug through an area filled in years ago along the Seattle waterfront that predates settlement of the city and could contain historical artifacts, says WSDOT cultural resources manager Steve Archer.
The drilling is expected to take about a week and shouldn't delay the project even if artifacts of cultural significance are discovered, Publicola reports.
WSDOT Deputy Administrator Matt Preedy says contractors hope to announce a plan next week for the 120-foot shaft. The big question is whether crews will be able to simply replace damaged seals that protect the massive bearing that helps turn the machine's cutter head or whether it will require workers to pull the cutter head itself out to the surface from its current location.
While Hitachi has been considering three different sized shafts, Preedy says the company is favoring the smaller of the three options, which would be faster and less expensive than the other options.
Correction: An earlier version of this story said 'Indian artifacts'. WSDOT says the purpose of the soil testing is to look for anything of archaeological significance, which includes several possibilities, native artifacts among them.

It was my son, Alex, who called my attention to the fact that a Filipino was chosen as lead singer in the American rockband, Journey, the band that was formed in San Francisco in the 1970s by the Santanas.
Alex showed me some YouTube performances of Arnel Pineda. I thought maybe Arnel was Filipino American, but my son insisted he was from Quezon City. The reason I asked was that I heard no accent whatsoever in his singing.
He's been singing for some 25 years now. The legend goes that Journey discovered Arnel Pineda in YouTube and hired him as their lead singer to replace Jeff Scott Soto. The reviews of his singing are excellent. Indeed Arnel has a lot of energy and he's cute - which I'm sure helps in Show Biz.
It was refreshing to hear this news. My son was very proud that a Filipino made it "big" in the mainstream.
So, congratulations, Arnel Pineda. You have no idea how many millions of Filipinos all over the world watch you with pride and bated breath.

Ebola outbreak in Uganda kills 14
KAMPALA (AFP) - An outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus that erupted in western Uganda at the start of July has killed 14 people, the World Health Organisation (WHO) said on Saturday.
The latest outbreak was in the western Kibaale district, around 200 kilometres (125 miles) west of the Ugandan capital Kampala, and around 50 kilometres from the border with Democratic Republic of Congo,
"We have confirmed 20 people who have contracted the virus of which 14 have died," Joaquim Sewaka, WHO Uganda representative, told AFP.
Sewaka said that teams from the Ugandan health ministry and the US government's Centre for Disease Control (CDC) had been dispatched to the area.
"The response is strong and we will try to set up quarantine points as soon as possible," Sewaka said.
The rare haemorrhagic disease, named after a small river in DR Congo, killed 37 people in western Uganda in 2007 and claimed the lives of at least 170 people in the north of the country in 2000.

If your question is about the cost of a procedure, click here. For referral to a qualified surgeon in your area, see find a surgeon.
Note: ASAPS cannot give advice about specific medical problems nor should answers provided by responding surgeons be substituted for a complete medical history, work-up and an in-personal medical/surgical consultation. Sorry we can't answer all questions. We try to select questions that have the widest general interest.
Is there any risk in nose surgery?
This a very common question. The risks are often dependent upon the extent of the procedure ( i.e. Septoplasty, Cartilage Grafting, etc.) The most common risks are bleeding & infection. Other risks include patient dissatisfaction with the result sometimes requiring re-operation. Consider addressing your concerns with your surgeon BEFORE your surgery. Best,
Gary R Culbertson, MD, FACS
Dr. Culbertson is exactly correct. Every surgery has risks, but in rhinoplasty most are under the surgeon's control. Thus they can be minimized by surgeon selection. Infection and bleeding are very uncommon--your most likely complication will be an unsatisfactory cosmetic result or a new or uncorrected airway obstruction. That is why you should look for a surgeon whom you trust and who specializes in nasal surgery. If you do, you are very likely to have a good result that you like.
strong>Absolutely. Nose surgery is one of the most difficult surgeries to perform and achieve high patient satisfaction. The outcome is never perfect and this is the most common issue. A patient must be very realistic in the outcome. A home run is seldom and third base is frequent. The other issues are breathing issues, infection, bleeding but most common is re-operation for correction of cosmetic issues. Good Luck.
Risk In Nose Surgery -The most important thing about enhancing the outcome of safety in nasal surgery or Rhinoplasty, is to find a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or Otolaryngologist with expertise in Rhinoplasty. This is one of the most challenging operations we do in plastic surgery. This procedure requires both Expertise and Experience.

Amitiza (Lubiprostone)
What Is Amitiza (Lubiprostone)?By Beth Schneider
Medically Reviewed by Ruthan White, PharmD, BCACP
Amitiza is the brand name for lubiprostone, a prescription drug used to relieve bloating and abdominal discomfort, improve stool texture, reduce the need to strain when you go to the bathroom, and decrease the feeling that you haven't completely relieved yourself.
Amitiza belongs to a class of drugs known as chloride channel activators, which work by increasing the amount of fluid in your intestines, making it easier to pass stool.
It's prescribed to treat chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC) in adults. Idiopathic means the cause of the constipation is unknown and factors such as diet, underlying illness, or side effects from medications have been ruled out.
Amitiza may be prescribed to treat constipation caused by narcotic pain medications or opioids. In some cases, low doses of Amitiza are prescribed to treat irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C) in women 18 and older.
Amitiza (lubiprostone) was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2006. It's manufactured by Takeda.
Amitiza Warnings
The FDA warns a small number of patients develop dyspnea (difficulty breathing) when taking this drug. When this happens, patients describe a tightening in the chest and difficulty taking a breath within 30 to 60 minutes of taking their first dose.
The problems usually go away in a few hours but can reoccur. While this reaction is not classified as a serious one, some people found the experience upsetting enough to discontinue taking the drug.
People with a history of certain stomach or intestinal problems, especially blockages in the stomach or bowels, severe diarrhea, or liver disease should make sure to tell their doctor before taking this medication.
Also, tell your healthcare provider if you've ever been diagnosed with gallstones, Crohn's disease, Hirschsprung's disease, impacted bowel movements, diverticulitis, polyps, or a hernia.
Always tell your healthcare professional about all prescription, non-prescription, over-the-counter, illegal and recreational drugs, herbal remedies, nutritional and dietary supplements, and any other drugs and treatments.
Pregnancy and Amitiza
If you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding tell your doctor before taking Amitiza.
Amitiza is in FDA Pregnancy Category C, meaning it there's some evidence it may harm a developing fetus and should only be taken when the benefits outweigh the risks. Your doctor can help you decide what's right for you if you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy.
It's not known if Amitiza passes into breast milk, but some studies indicate a nursing infant can develop side effects like diarrhea if the nursing mother is taking this drug. Talk to your physician about breastfeeding before taking Amitiza.
This drug has not been approved for children.

Amitiza (Lubiprostone) Side Effects
Common side effects of Amitiza include:
- Nausea
- Diarrhea (that is not severe)
- Heartburn
- Bloating
- Vomiting
- Dry mouth
- Runny nose
- Cough
- Gas
- Dizziness
- Headache
- Joint pain
- Back pain
- Trouble sleeping
Let your doctor know if any of these side effects persist or get worse.
Serious side effects of Amitiza:
- Severe diarrhea
- Swelling of arms and/or legs
- Changes in mental health
- Mood changes
A very serious allergic reaction is rare, but seek immediate medical attention if you develop any of the following:
- Rash
- Itching
- Swelling (especially in the face, tongue, or throat)
- Severe dizziness
- Trouble breathing
Seek immediate medical attention if you develop trouble breathing, chest tightness, discomfort, or pain.
Amitiza may infrequently cause an episode of dyspnea (difficulty breathing). While this reaction is usually not serious and goes away within three hours, you may not be able to tell the difference between dyspnea and the severe reactions listed above.
Copyright © 2014 Everyday Health Media, LLC
Amitiza (Lubiprostone) Interactions
Studies show that there is a low likelihood of drugs interacting with Amitiza.
There is some evidence, however, that taking opioid type drugs, like methadone (Dolophine), may make Amitiza less effective.
Amitiza and Alcohol
This medication can make you dizzy. Drinking alcohol may increase this effect.
Copyright © 2014 Everyday Health Media, LLC
Amitiza (Lubiprostone) Dosage
Amitiza (Lubiprostone) comes in 24 mcg and 8 mcg capsules and is usually taken twice a day. Swallow the capsule whole. Do not open, chew, or crush it. Tell your doctor if you have trouble swallowing capsules.
The usual dose to treat CIC or constipation caused by pain medication is 24 mcg. A lower dose, 8 mcg, is commonly prescribed to women over 18 who are diagnosed with IBS-C.
Amitiza may help relieve symptoms but should not be considered a cure for your condition. Keep taking this medication even if you feel well and do not stop without talking to your healthcare provider.
Amitiza Overdose
Seek emergency medical attention or call the poison help line at 1-800-222-1222.
Missed Dose of Amitiza
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not "double up".

Webster Dictionary
a quagmire filled with decayed moss and other vegetable matter; wet spongy ground where a heavy body is apt to sink; a marsh; a morass
a little elevated spot or clump of earth, roots, and grass, in a marsh or swamp
to sink, as into a bog; to submerge in a bog; to cause to sink and stick, as in mud and mire
A bog is a mire that accumulates peat, a deposit of dead plant material—often mosses, and in a majority of cases, Sphagnum moss. It is one of the four main types of wetlands. Other names for bogs include mire, quagmire and muskeg; alkaline mires are called fens. Frequently, as the illustration on the right shows, they are covered in Ericaceous shrubs rooted in the Sphagnum moss and peat. The gradual accumulation of decayed plant material in a bog functions as a carbon sink. Bogs occur where the water at the ground surface is acidic and low in nutrients. In some cases, the water is derived entirely from precipitation, in which case they are termed ombrotrophic. Water flowing out of bogs has a characteristic brown colour, which comes from dissolved peat tannins. In general the low fertility and cool climate results in relatively slow plant growth, but decay is even slower owing to the saturated soil. Hence peat accumulates. Large areas of landscape can be covered many meters deep in peat. Bogs have a distinctive group of plant and animal species, and are of high importance for biodiversity, particularly in landscapes that are otherwise settled and farmed.

State to hold bar steady for school progress determinations
South Dakota schools will be playing by last year's rules when it comes to the state issuing determinations of adequate yearly progress, or AYP, later this summer. Determination of AYP is an annual process required under No Child Left Behind.
State Secretary of Education Melody Schopp announced via conference call to superintendents today that South Dakota will hold its goals for proficiency in reading and math at 2009-10 levels, rather than bumping up those targets as previously anticipated. In addition, the state will reduce its graduation rate goal to 80 percent from the current target of 85 percent.
In a letter to the U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, Schopp wrote: "Without making these changes, we believe our accountability system, as it currently stands, would inappropriately label schools as failing. This situation would eventually trigger a number of NCLB-related sanctions that our department simply does not have the capacity to address."
Schopp cited a number of reasons for the change – chief among them flaws in the current system for school accountability, as well as a lack of reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, or ESEA, also referred to as NCLB.
"Everyone recognizes that the standards imposed under NCLB become increasingly unrealistic over the next two or three years," Schopp said. "That is why it was widely assumed that ESEA would be reauthorized and rewritten by sometime this spring. Gridlock in Congress has prevented that from happening and requires us to take this step."
All states will be required to move to a new method of calculating graduation rate. Under this method, students who do not complete high school in four years count negatively against a school. "We know this change will have a negative impact on schools – even as they are trying to do the right thing for kids," Schopp said. "By moving to a goal of 80 percent, we soften that blow and still maintain a respectable goal for graduation within four years. Most importantly, we don't give up on those students who do not complete high school in four years."
Schopp is hopeful that, because of federal delays in reauthorizing ESEA, the U.S. Department of Education will grant South Dakota a waiver to adopt these standards. She noted that the state will be moving forward with developing a new accountability system – one based on nine key principles developed in conjunction with 40 other states across the country. While sharing commonalities with other states, the new system will be one that is unique to South Dakota, and one that is "legitimate, useful and promotes continuous improvement," according to Schopp.
"South Dakota remains committed to accountability, and I believe our track record in the area of student achievement demonstrates that commitment," Schopp wrote. "South Dakota students routinely score above the national average on the National Assessment of Educational Progress as well as on the ACT. Proficiency levels on our state test also remain high. Certainly, we have issues and challenges, which we recognize and are seeking to address."
Until a new accountability system is in place, South Dakota schools will be held accountable at the 2009-10 targets for proficiency in reading and math.

Sprint (Overland Park, KS, USA) is partnering with IDEAL LIFE Inc. (Toronto, Canada) to expand IDEAL LIFE's product portfolio to include embedded wireless devices. The companies will develop, certify and co-market a version of the IDEAL LIFE hub to transmit health data over the Sprint network.
Chinese telecom equipment makers have their sights set on the United States, a massive market that has so far been largely off limits to them because of fears over the security of key national infrastructure.
Huawei (Shenzhen, China), the world's number three seller of network gear, and ZTE (Shenzhen), number five, both told Reuters in interviews at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona that they wanted to crack the United States.
KT Corp, South Korea's No.2 mobile carrier, said on Thursday that it plans to become the top shareholder of credit card processing firm BC Card, betting on mobile payment services to generate new revenue.
KT (Seoul) said in a statement that its board had approved its planned purchase of a combined 33.85 percent stake in BC Card from Woori Bank and Shinhan Card.
IEEE (Piscataway, NJ USA) has announced that the final IEEE 1901 Broadband over Power Line (BPL) standard was finalized in December 2010 and is now available at its website. Sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society, this BPL standard is designed for use in a wide range of applications including smart energy, transportation and Local Area Networks (LANs) in both the home and the enterprise.
Following last week's announcement that Hyundai will be entering the telematics race, Sprint (Overland Park, KS, USA) CEO Dan Hesse has announced his company will provide the network infrastructure to support this and other connected vehicle applications.

"We want to provide connected transportation to trucks, buses, subways, taxis, planes, police cars and ambulances so that they can be instantly linked through voice, data and images," said Hesse.
U.S. communications regulators adopted Internet traffic rules on Tuesday that prevent providers from blocking lawful content but still let them ration access to their networks. Operators may still legally institute policy control and traffic management, but prioritizing that traffic based on content is against the FCC's order.
Airwide Solutions (Burlington, MA, USA), the company best known for transmitting the first SMS text message, has announced the launch of their Network and Personal Security (NPS) solution. The solution aims to shield subscribers and operator infrastructure from potential threats and unwanted content.

Perpetual Violecence in the east of the DRC
English translation by PulseWire member saskia
Here to the east of the DRC specifically in Bukavu, there is a man who raped his 8 year old daughter. While interrogating him he said that Satan asked him for the virginity of a girl between 8 and 10 years old. He searched everywhere but didn't find anyone and that is why he raped his daughter. We have no idea what to do in these situations.
Thank you my friends.

I Pray Justice Is Served
Situations like these are so heinous that they are beyond description and comprehension. Even though I am rendered practically speechless, I am so utterly appalled at what this man did to his own little girl nonetheless. He is a monster who is not fit to live among decent human beings. I pray that this young girl finds solace and love from caring family members and the community as a whole. He needs to be dealt with to the fullest extent of the law otherwise there is no doubt in my mind that he will repeat this horrible crime at the least possible opportunity. Thanks for your focus on this difficult topic.

Letter to the Left, Excerpt
… You say, "the basic misperception is that our enemy is man, not capitalism." I say, the basic misperception is the facile identification of "the system" with "capitalism." In reality, the American system consists of two interdependent but distinct parts – the capitalist state and the patriarchal family.
…. The social organization for the production of new human beings is the family system. And within the family system, men function as a ruling class, women as an exploited class. Historically, women and their children have the property of men (until recently, quite literally, even in "advanced" countries). The mistake many radicals make is to assume that the family is simply part of the cultural superstructure of capitalism, while both capitalism and the family system make up the material subculture of society. It is difficult to see this because capitalism is so pervasive and powerful compared to the family, which is small, weak, and has far less influence on the larger economic system than vice versa. But it is important for women to recognize and deal with the exploited position in the family system for it is primarily in terms of the family system that we are oppressed as women. If you really think about our exploitation under capitalism – as cheap labor and as consumers – you will see that our position in the family system is at the root.
Our position here is exactly analogous to the black power position, with male radicals playing the part of white liberals. Blacks answered "We can't work together because you don't understand what it is to be black; because you've grown up in a racist society, your behavior toward us is bound to be racist whether you know it or not and whether you mean it or not; your ideas about how to help us are too often self-serving and patronizing; besides, part of our liberation is in thinking for ourselves and working for ourselves, not accepting the domination of the white man in still another area of our lives. If you as whites want to work on eliminating your own racism, if you want to support our battle for liberation, fine. If we decide that we have certain common interests with white activists and can form alliances with white organizations, fine. But we want to make the decisions in our own movement." Substitute man-woman for black-white and that's where I stand. With one important exception: while white liberals and radicals always understood the importance of the black liberation struggle, even if their efforts in the blacks' behalf were often misguided, radical men simply do not understand the importance of our struggle. Except for a hip vanguard movement, men have tended to dismiss the woman's movement as "just chicks with personal hangups," to insist that men and women are equally oppressed, though maybe in different ways, or to minimize the extent and significance of male chauvinism ("just a failure of communication"). All around me I see men who consider themselves dedicated revolutionaries, yet exploit their wives and girl friends shamefully without ever noticing a contradiction.
The excerpt is taken from Ellen Willis' essay, "Letter to the Left," which was written in 1969 to explain the need for a movement focused specifically on women's liberation. Whereas many on the Left identified capitalism as the source of all social problems and inequalities, Willis argued that patriarchy – the social system based on governance by or dominance of males – was the root of women's oppression, and that women's oppression would not be alleviated by dismantling capitalism alone. Willis submitted this letter to The Guardian, the leading national Left newspaper of the time, but the editor refused to publish it.

Haier announced that it has provided more than 60,000 environmentally-friendly and energy-efficient products to the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad (BOCOG).
Products such as refrigerators, air-conditioners, washing machines, and water heaters will be used throughout the Olympic venues.
Focusing on the mission of the Beijing Olympic Games -- "Green Olympics, High-tech Olympics, People's Olympics" -- and using its experience as provider of air-conditioners to the Athens 2004 Olympic stadium, Haier has designed a complete line of green products for the Beijing Games. About 31 categories of Haier products have been installed in all Olympic venues in Beijing and the co-host cities. The Olympic products are also on sale throughout China to meet the consumers' need.
Haier has supplied all venues with 13,236 refrigerators, all CFC-free, with 5353 using carbon dioxide as a natural refrigerant.
About 1500 green washing machines have been installed in 18 laundries established by Haier in the Olympic Village and the Media Village to provide quick and efficient laundry services for all athletes, officials, and journalists. This includes 530 detergent-free washing machines and more than 700 double-driven washing machines. The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) has chosen the technologies used in these washing machines to become an international standard.
Haier also installed 2864 sq m of solar power panels for air-conditioners and water heaters in the Qingdao Olympic Sailing Center, the Beijing Olympic Green Tennis Court and the Olympic Village Restaurant. According to Haier's calculation, this energy-effective system will reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 2140 tons per year.
Olympic venues are cooled using the Haier 08 Olympic wind air-conditioner, which reportedly is the only air-conditioner providing "Grade A" fresh air. It incorporates a self-cleaning function to keep the air filter clean and unobstructed, ensuring cleaner air, while also saving energy.

Microsoft's Ballmer Defends Windows Vista, Slaps Google
Microsoft's Ballmer Defends Windows Vista, Slaps Google
ORLANDO, Fla.-At a talk before thousands of IT professionals at Gartner's annual expo, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer defended the company's rollout of its Windows Vista operating system nearly two years after the OS was delivered to negative reviews.
Ballmer, speaking at the Gartner Symposium/ITxpo here Oct. 16, Ballmer used a familiar Microsoft line in defending Vista. He told the audience that Vista was being adopted faster in both the consumer market and the enterprise than when the company rolled out the XP operating system. Just before the talk, Gartner analysts Neil MacDonald and David Smith told the audience that only 10 percent of enterprises have adopted Vista.
Those statistics did not deter Ballmer, who pushed a hard sales pitch and urged those enterprises not to wait for the release of Microsoft's next operating system-Windows 7-but to adopt Vista now. He added that Vista will be compatible with the Windows 7 operating system. Ballmer said concerns about security meant that Vista would not work with certain applications and caused some compatibility problems.
"I think Vista was the right thing," said Ballmer. "You can talk about some of the compatibility issues, but we have over 180 million users, and this has been the fastest accepted operating system that we have ever done. I know that it is not without controversy, but it has been extremely successful. [Internet Explorer] 7 is a major step forward, and IE 8 is going to be a major step forward, as well as Office 2007."
Ballmer also brushed off concerns that Windows 7 will just be a ramp-up or slightly cleaned-up version of Vista. Ballmer said Microsoft engineers have worked to improve the user interface of the new operating system, allow for more use of touch and multitouch functionality, offer better tools for managing applications, and increase the overall performance of the OS.
Challenges from Google
Ballmer was also asked about the challenges that Microsoft faces from Google. The two companies have been clashing in recent months when it comes to search and consumer advertising, but Gartner analysts believe Microsoft and Google are on a collision course about the future of the cloud.
When asked about people adopting the free Google Apps, Ballmer bristled at the comparison between Microsoft's Office suite and what Google offers.
"Let's look at facts," said Ballmer, his voice rising. "Nobody uses those things, and the usage data hasn't grown in seven months. If you look at the ComScore, it's just like this: It's just a flat line. You can't even put a footnote in a document."
Ballmer also defended Microsoft's proposed acquisition of Yahoo earlier this year. While Ballmer said there are no current offers on the table, he still believes the offer made sense to both Yahoo and Microsoft. He added that Yahoo and Microsoft have talked about partnering on search.
"It's clear that Yahoo did not want to sell the company," said Ballmer. "I think what we learned through that is that they want to remain independent, and perhaps there will still be some opportunities to partner around search. We are not in any discussions now, but it's an offer we made after the acquisition had fallen through. I still think it would make sense economically for their shareholders and ours."

Designed to be used on- or off-road, the Volt bicycle helmet is equally at home in Tour de France as it is on the World Cup XC mountain bike circuit. Eleven frontal vents corral massive amounts of air with the help of custom-sculpted Composite Fiber Intakes, which direct flow to the helmet's internal StreamJet Ventilation channels. Internal Reinforcement adds structural integrity, X-Static antimicrobial padding wicks moisture, and Twin Axis Gear retention system gives you two different adjustments for the most comfortable fit ever.
