|It sucks that he is never home and I wish he were home more but I find that when he is home it disrupts our rhythm and everything gets messed up! It's not that he does anything to mess it up it is just his presence that seems to throw everything off wack! And it takes a day or so for things to get back into swing once he leaves again! DD and I are both cranky for at least a day after he leaves and I find the longer he has been home the harder these days are once he leaves! I just tend to do my own thing, and sad to say I sometimes feel more like a single parent than a SAHM!

|A boy named Air suddenly appears at Mizuki's window one evening, forcibly transporting him to Neverland. Having grown up most of his life without his own father, Mizuki wants nothing to do with surrogate fatherhood. Unfortunately, stuck without a way out of Neverland, he has little choice but to stay. As he spends time with Air, however, Mizuki is gradually charmed by his boyish innocence, and the two fall in love. In the end, Mizuki decides to return to the real world to reunite with his estranged father, but tells Air that he will always leave the window open for him.
From the Publisher:
Mizuki is abducted by the spritely Air, who brings him back to Neverland to be a father for the Lost Boys, and as he spends time there, Mizuki begins to fall for his kidnapper.

Web Letter
Allow me to inject a dose of reality. China's future is very clouded around 2021, due to several imbalances already in place and ripening.
The demographic imbalance caused by the "one child" policy looms over everything. During a similar period 1,250 years ago, major civil war raged for seventeen years, the Tai Ping Rebellion. There is no way to go back and re-balance the sex of births from the past decade.
This plays into gigantic regional economic disparities and the tensions they are producing.
The likelyhood of major internal conflict is extremely high, basded on the functioning of several political cycles, as shown in "Politicometrics."

Most Elegant Two Hander?
I'm curious. Who do you think has the best looking two handed backhand? I think Djokovic would be my vote, he seems to have a very fluid motion, very compact, and very effortless. And please keep it to current players.
I think Murray is more fluid with his two hander than Djokovic. But, I think Nalbandian is the finest in this regard.
Marcelo Rios.
Gene Mayer.No doubt about it.I would also mention Mc Millan, the great doubs player.
Gildemeister was solid as a rock but not elegant.Never watched Segura, who may have been the best double handed player ever.
Nalbandian. Baker's is sweet. I actually like Nadal's as well.
Safin followed by Nalbandian. I would also mention Kafelnikov
safins and nalbandians, but murray's is pretty smooth too
Disclaimer: A two-handed backhand is a functional, stable and safe tennis shot with many advantages. Elegance is not one of them :) .
With that out of the way, I would vote for Nalbandian among current players and Miroslav Mecir and Chris Evert among past players.
Djokovic, not so much. And the less said about Nadal, the better. If any aspect of Nadal's game appears elegant to you, then I could also convince you that I am George Clooney.
Nalbandian, Agassi, Safin in no particular order. If I ever wanted to use a double hander I'd look upon their backhands.
Nishikori has the best 2-hander in the game.
The one aspect of Nadal's game that looks effortless to me is how he moves on the red clay of European events.
i like baghdatis' 2HBH.
gulbis' is nice too (where the hell is ernests, by the way ? he didn't play the qualies !).
and among retired players, i'd say rios.
I can't believe I forgot this man....Nikolay Davydenko, anyone?
Safin' got my vote.
Nalby by far.
The OP is an oxymoron. No such creature.
Kafelnikov and Agassi had very clean backhands.
Big fan of how Nalbandian works that two hander. Very effective, but even aesthetically it looks good.
There are too many exemplary backhands to name just one, but purely to look at I think Mathieu's is one of the most fluid and easy on the eye. And Borg's had a memorably quirky grace to it, in the way he'd swing with both hands but only use his right for the follow-through.

School-age children (K-12) have until June 5 to enter the Creative Expression Contest
The Ohio Department of Agriculture today reminds parents and children that the deadline for the 2015 "Agriculture is Cool!" Creative Expression contest is less than four weeks away. Ohio children enrolled in school or home schooled during the 2014-2015 academic year are encouraged to capture their personal interpretation of why Ohio agriculture is cool for their chance to win prizes including a trip to the fair. Entries must be postmarked by June 5, 2015.
Entries, which can include an original video, photograph, drawing, or painting, will be judged in the following age categories. One winner from each age group and category will be chosen:
- Grades K-2: Photography, Drawing or Painting
- Grades 3-5: Video, Photography, Drawing or Painting
- Grades 6-8: Video, Photography, Drawing or Painting
- Grades 9-12: Video, Photography, Drawing or Painting
All entries will be judged by a panel that may include representatives from the Ohio Department of Agriculture, the Office of the Governor, the Ohio Expo Center, and professionals in the areas of video production, photography, drawing, painting and other visual arts. Judging will be based on the student's visual representation of the "Ag is Cool!" theme, if it accurately reflects 21st Century agriculture, creativity and use of Ohio images, and quality of work.
Award winners will be recognized by the Office of the Governor and other state officials at the Ohio State Fair on July 29, 2015.

The 43rd annual convention descended on San Diego this weekend bringing with it the usual mix of panel events, previews and announcements on the year's upcoming releases, including Django Unchained, Man Of Steel and the new series of Game Of Thrones. Here are our ten biggest revelations of this year's event.

WhatsApp messenger is one of the most popular instant messaging applications compared with WeChat and other important texting apps. An impressive number of people use WhatsApp on their iOS and well as Android devices. As you probably know already, this app allows people to send each other text messages, video and photos free of charge, using the internet. However, there is something unpleasant about this app as it is limited to smartphones, and you can't use it on most tablets and computers. Our tech guy allready put a tutorial on how to install whatsapp on pc if you want to try it out.
Since many computer users may want to have this famous app on their computer, there is a possibility for doing that even if there is no official version of the application available for PCs. The only way they can do that is by downloading and installing Bluestacks, an emulator that will bring the Android experience to their computer.
When it comes to the iPad or iPod touch, things are a little bit different, but there is also a possibility that allows iPad users to enjoy WhatsApp on their favorite devices and you can see it in action here.
So, if you are interested in getting WhatsApp for iPad, there are some things you must know before beginning the procedure of downloading the app. First of all, besides the iPad, you need a Mac or a PC which has iTunes installed. Also, the file manager names iFunBox is necessary since it will help you to manage your files on any iOS device. Furthermore, you will need an iPhone, but just for a couple of minutes so, if you don't have one you can easily borrow it from one of your friends. Last but not list you need a SIM in order to activate WhatsApp.
Also, as you probably know a phone number cannot be used for WhatsApp to be active on two devices at the same time. That means you need SIM that is not synced to a WhatsApp account already.
Once you have all these prepared, you can begin the procedure. My advice is to read carefully a step-by-step tutorial that will show you how to download and install WhatsApp for iPad, in order to make sure you do everything correctly. There is nothing complicated about this, but it is not easy either, so it is better to be safe than sorry.
Or you might want to use wechat or kik on your pc instead so make your choice depending on how many of your friends use the app.
Good luck and enjoy the WhatsApp experience!

While technology improved on the airhead design (EFI is a great example in my view), BMW keeps adding electric this and ring that with servo assisted whatever. I don't want all that. I want a simple, easy to maintian and fixable bike wherever you find yourself. Give me a clutch cable versus hydraulic. I'll take manually adjustable shocks over EWS. Why the hell would you put that ring antenae crap on a bike that you take around the world? Just something else to break!
Sorry, but a radiator is more complexity, something else to go wrong, something that adds to the difficulty (and expense) of service. Yes boxers get hot in traffic, but do I want to add all that crap?
I am not anti improvement. I would take a wet clutch, but only if its more accessible and easier to fix than the current dry single plate clutch. I like the current clutch, but it is not easily servicable anywhere but the dealer.
So some of you may get excited about the radiators, but count me out. I like simple for this kind of bike.
So i'm not the only one who holds this opinion.
i just seek clarity

I'm a 6 or 8 jean (28) depending on brands. My Waist is 30" my hips are 38". I'm 5-6-1/2" tall & weigh 145lbs. The size 28 (which I nornally wear in Silver Jeans) fit but were snug through the hips. The 29's fit me perfect. They were not as long as i expected them to be. The lenght will be slightly long but doable w/flats & okay with a bout a 3" inch heal but I wouldn't go with a heal much higher. I really like these jeans however I'm not sure if they're worth 200.00 bucks but I'm going to keep because I've always wanted a pair of true religions.

Marks in the higher secondary examinations will also count for admissions to professional courses soon. G. MAHADEVAN gives a snapshot of the reforms in store for the entrance examinations and the admission procedure.
Admissions to engineering and medical colleges in Kerala are set for a major overhaul with the committee constituted by the State government in October 2006 suggesting fundamental changes in the concept and conduct of the entrance examinations.
In 1983, a Kerala High Court verdict led to the institution of these examinations. The verdict was an outcome of rampant corruption in the granting of marks for the pre-degree examinations (now the higher secondary examinations or the Plus Two examinations), which were the basis for admission to engineering and medical colleges.
The examinations underwent some reforms based on the recommendations of a committee appointed by the government in September 1999. One change was the institution of separate examinations for the medical and engineering courses.
Right from the time the entrance examinations were introduced, a sizeable section of the academia had pointed out the inadequacy of the multiple-choice questions to gauge the engineering and medical aptitude of a candidate. With each passing year, it became apparent that the entrance examinations were more about pattern recognition and eliminating improbable answers and less about applying concepts to find solutions to problems.
Now, all this may change if a prime recommendation of the latest committee's report is accepted and implemented — a 50 per cent weightage for the marks scored in the qualifying examinations.
No more a distraction
Till now, for many students, the Plus Two examinations were almost a distraction of sorts on their way to write the entrance examinations. So long as one got 50 per cent marks in class 12, it was okay. Now that may not be enough.
However, even now, only the marks or grades scored for the theory papers of physics, chemistry, mathematics and biology in the final examination will count. The committee felt that the evaluation system of the higher secondary examination was in its infancy and hence this recommendation.
"This would mean that in the first two or three years, the Internal Evaluation scores and Practical Examination marks should not be counted. Once the reforms in the Higher Secondary Education suggested below are implemented, and the internal evaluation system attains a higher degree of robustness and objectivity, Government may use the Internal Evaluation and Practical Examination marks also for admissions to the Professional Colleges of Kerala," the committee's report reads.
Committee members, who discussed the report with The Hindu-EducationPlus, said the reforms in the entrance examinations would be virtually meaningless if higher secondary examinations were not conducted with as much seriousness as the entrance tests.
The report recommends external supervision, assigning false numbers and double valuation under camp mode. All papers securing above 60 per cent marks should be re-valued. In the case of answer papers that have been valued twice, no request for further revaluation or recounting should be entertained. Marks received by the Entrance Commissioner on the last working day of the first week of June should only be considered.
Common scale
Another major issue that the committee has sought to address is the diversity of the Board examinations after which students appear for the entrance examinations. There are many who argue that the entrance examinations (indeed all entrance examinations comprising multiple-choice questions) are more friendly to those who pass out of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) stream. There are those who maintain that students who come out of this and the Indian School Certificate streams are better academic products and as such, they should be given some weightage in the entrance examinations.
What the committee has done is to prescribe a formula which takes the higher secondary examinations conducted by the State government as the "standard examination" for normalising the scores in other streams of study.
The marks or grades scored by a candidate for the relevant subjects — in the CBSE, ISC or other equivalent streams — will be standardised using the mean score and standard deviations. The standardised scores for each subject will then be "mapped" to the higher secondary platform using the mean and standard deviations in this examination. This score will then be placed on a scale of 0 to 100. The marks scored by a candidate in the entrance examination will also be placed on such a scale. Both these scores, calculated to an accuracy of four decimal points, will determine the position of a candidate in the entrance rank list. (The procedures for normalisation would be based on the methods suggested in Score Normalization as a Fair Grading Practice, by Winters, R. Scott., ERIC Digest, Report No. EDO-TM-02-10, Office of Educational Research and Improvement (ED), Washington, D.C.)
In the entrance examinations, 20 per cent of the questions should be challenging, 30 per cent, application-oriented and the rest, direct. In the engineering entrance, the present weightage of 5:3:2 for maths, physics and chemistry should continue, while for the medical entrance, equal weightage should be given for these three subjects.
Further, the physics and chemistry papers should be common for both examinations, the committee has recommended.
Question bank
Yet another major recommendation is for the institution of a question bank containing thousands of questions in mathematics, physics and chemistry. Questions should have graded difficulty levels and should be selected for inclusion in the question paper by a software. There shall be a minimum 3,000 questions for each subject (25 times the number required for a question paper). When the question bank is sufficiently large, it should be made available online and be made accessible to the students.
One recommendation that may prove contentious has to do with the number of chances that a general category candidate can have to appear for the entrance tests. The committee feels that a general candidate need not have more than two chances, while a candidate in the Scheduled Caste category can be given four. There will be no limit for the Scheduled Tribes category. To ensure social equity in the entrance examinations, the committee has suggested the institution of a scholarship fund to support those coming from socially and financially disadvantaged sections of society.
The committee has pointed out that this should not be a problem given that the office of the Commissioner for Entrance Examinations earns close to Rs. 7 crore a year from the conduct of the entrance examinations.

Angels fly past Pirates
IWA competes like teams of yesteryear
TAFT - IWA boys basketball coach Casper Wenzel isn't about to compare his team with some of the great Angels teams of the past.
Thursday night's impressive performance by IWA against area perennial Class 3A playoff team Sinton in the first round of the Taft Classic tournament, however, did give those spectators on hand at least a glimpse of the way it used to be at IWA when Wenzel was at the helm.
The Angels scored the first 12 points of the game against the Pirates and never trailed en route to a 60-27 victory at Taft High School.
IWA (5-3 overall) advances to today's 4:30 p.m. semifinal game against Skidmore-Tynan (3-1).
Taft (6-0) - which fell in the tournament's championship game to Goliad last year after winning it two years ago - will play Mathis in the other semifinal today at 7:30 p.m. The tournament's title game will be at 2:30 p.m. Saturday.
"We used to have big, strong kids at IWA and we could play with anybody," said Wenzel, who previously coached the Angels for 20 years before taking over the team again this season. "We're still not there yet with this (group), but I will say that this was a step in the right direction."
"Casper does a great job and IWA just outplayed us in very facet tonight," Sinton coach Jaime Boswell said. "They out-hustled us, they out-shot us - they did everything that we didn't do."
The Angels opened the game with the 12-0 run and held Sinton scoreless until Kyle Minnick's putback with 18 seconds remaining in the first quarter, which brought the Pirates back within 10.
IWA then outscored Sinton 14-4 in the second quarter to take a commanding 26-6 lead into the half. The Angels pushed that lead to 36-8 nearly three minutes into the third quarter and the Pirates wouldn't recover.
IWA post Russell McElwee scored seven of his game-high 14 points in the third quarter, and he was one of nine Angels that scored in the game.
Ryan Williams also had nine points for IWA, while Chad Skrobarczyk (two treys in the game), Brandon Garza, Robert Marion and Anthony Gibson combined for the Angels' five 3-pointers in the game.
Josh Rodriguez and Ricky Romero combined for 13 points for Sinton (2-2).
Taft 61, Woodsboro 37
The Greyhounds used a 15-2 third quarter run to break open a one point game en route to the first round victory over the pesky Eagles.
Senior guard and foreign exchange student, Gert Byron, scored 18 of his game-best 26 points in the first half for Taft, while his teammate Anthony Trevino poured in 16 of his 21 points in the final two quarters of the game to help the Greyhounds outscore Woodsboro, 30-7 in the decisive second half.
Noe Cuevas combined with Byron (four treys) and Trevino for all eight of Taft's 3-pointers in the game.
Mathis 64, Highland Academy 35
The Pirates held Highland Academy to four first-quarter points in building an early 16-point lead before cruising to a first-round victory.
Mathis post J.D. DeLeon scored nine points in the first quarter and another nine in the third quarter en route to posting game-high scoring honors with 22 points. Kurtis Flores and Israel Sanchez also reached double figures with 15 and 11 points respectively for Mathis in the game, and they combined for three of the Pirates' five 3-pointers in the game.
Skidmore-Tynan 68, Kingsville Academy 62
The Bobcats scored the first six points of the game and held an early 10-2 lead, before the Pride used an 8-2 run to close to within 12-10 on Adam Salazar's fast break layup.
Skidmore-Tynan extended its lead to 23-13 in the second quarter on a 3-pointer by Jairus Yzaguirre and a jumper by Chris Hall. Kingsville Academy wouldn't come closer than six points the rest of the way, although The Pride used a 25-point outburst in the fourth quarter to spearhead their comeback
Chris Hall had eight of his team-high 17 points in the first half, while Cory Markham also reached double figures with 12 points for the Bobcats.
Rick Zapata and Adam Salazar led Kingsville Academy with 18 points each, but it wasn't enough to help The Pride catch Skidmore-Tynan on this night.

"The U.S. doesn't even want to take the first step and acknowledge slavery as a crime against humanity or acknowledge the continued suffering of Africans and African descendents," says Brown. "Instead, they say they 'regret' that the slave trade happened. Forget regret. We want them to take responsibility." Responsibility, for Brown and others, includes a U.S. commitment to dismantle the dual justice system, which doles out different sentences for white and black defendents, the dual immigration system, which targets immigrants of color, and the inadequate funding for community organizations, health, and education in predominantly black neighborhoods.
Africans and African descendents have worked together in Durban, creating a ten-point declaration of unity that calls for cancellation of third world debt, investing in community-based organizations, and further discussions on compensation. "Look at the economic poverty of Africa. Look at the mortality and incarceration rates for black people in the United States," says Brown. "These are the direct consequences of slavery and colonialism, and they can't continue."
Meanwhile, I wander the "New South Africa," which Kofi Anann says is supposed to be our model for overcoming racism. As I walk the dirt roads of Inanda, Durban's largest black township, I smell burning grass and glimpse children peering out of lopsided tin and cardboard shacks. Although Inanda and the two bordering townships are home to over 3 million people (about twice the population of Manhattan), there is no hospital or sanitation system. The nearest hospital is in Phoenix, the Indian settlement founded by Mahatma Gandhi, more than 30 minutes away. In Durban, blacks rarely eat at the same restaurants as whites, not because they aren't allowed to, but because they can't afford it. Sitting on a bench near City Hall with a South African friend, the stares of passersby remind me that, less than 10 years ago, he could have been arrested for even talking to me.
Ten thousand people from 153 countries (at last official UN count) have met here in Durban and have discussed the issues, from reparations to indigenous autonomy to environmental racism. Groups working on problems of caste in India are meeting with landless South Africans. The acknowledgment of suffering is a crucial beginning to taking actionfor the Roma of Europe, for the Dyak of Borneo, whose government denies their very existence, for African descendents who are still affected daily by the legacy of slavery. But talk matters only if people are there to hear it. The withdrawal of the U.S. and Israeli delegations means that some of those most responsible for the suffering won't be around to listen.

Multiple African Nations Release Gombe 50 and Jane Goodall's Roots & Shoots 20th Anniversary Collector Postage Stamps; Dr. Jane Goodall Depicted on Legal Tender for the First Time
New York, N.Y. - March 29, 2011
- The African nation of Tanzania is the first country in the world to release a commemorative stamp issue celebrating the 50th anniversary of renowned primatologist and conservationist Dr. Jane Goodall's arrival in what is today Gombe National Park, Tanzania. This is the first stamp issue in the world featuring Dr. Goodall's image. In the coming months, similar series will be released in other countries, including Liberia and the Gambia.
A New Perspective on Chimpanzees!
"For the past 10 days, we have taken a different angle on filming chimps. Rather than shooting a fig-eating sequence in the traditional way—from the ground looking up 100 feet or so to the treetops—we decided to move up to the chimps' level.
Searching High and Low for Chimpanzees
In his latest blog entry, Dr. Deus Mjungu, Gombe Stream Research Center's director of chimpanzee research, writes of a particularly strenuous day tracking the chimpanzees of Gombe National Park.
Each day, we typically target one individual chimpanzee who has not been followed recently and track him or her for the entire day.
World Health Day: JGI and Communities

By improving the health of these rural populations, we can significantly enhance their quality of life and enable them to become partners in conserving the natural resources on which they depend.
Data from Gombe Provides New Insights Into Aging
A paper published in this week's issue of the journal Science suggests that humans and other primates share certain aging patterns that were previously thought to be unique to humans. In addition to uncovering new similarities among primate species, the research findings may ultimately bring us closer to answering such questions as: Why do women live longer than men?

I was so excited to get started on her nursery — I knew it was going to be bright and vibrant. I had made some pillow cases for my former Etsy store and paired them with a quilt that was made for my husband and I as a wedding gift.

Read More 838 16 Comments May 21st My 5 ideas for non-baby themed nurseries My husband and I are only just beginning to talk about having a baby, but like the overeager person I am I've already been looking at different baby room inspiration online. Over the past few weeks I have looked at all the available store themes and come to one conclusion: they are not us. Baby animals, over-powering geometric patterns, PINK…. just because it's for a baby's room doesn't mean it has to be infantile! Read More 788 26 Comments Mar 21st Let's get real: I decorated my kid's room for myself My almost four-year-old recently achieved a huge milestone: he finally has his own room. When I asked him what color he wanted his room to be, he said black (it's his favorite). When I asked what he wanted on the walls, he said black things. When I asked if he still wanted his thrifted Harry Potter blanket, he said ok, but he wanted black everything else. I politely and sweetly smiled at him, told him there was no way my preschooler was going to have an all-black room.

Final England-Windies ODI washed out
The third one-day international between England and West Indies at Headingley was abandoned on Friday without a ball being bowled due to rain.
England won the series 2-0 after victories by by 114 runs, under the Duckworth/Lewis method, at Southampton last weekend and Tuesday's eight-wicket success at The Oval.
England's Ian Bell was named man-of-the-series thanks to scores of 126 and 53 after his recall to the one-day side as an opener following the limited overs international retirement of Kevin Pietersen.
West Indies, which lost the preceding Test series 2-0, concludes its tour with a stand-alone Twenty20 international against England at Trent Bridge on Sunday.

Publisher: Princeton University Press
This is an eTextbook Learn More
Breaking off the ordinary flow of experience, the passions create a state of exception. In their suddenness and intensity, they map a personal world, fix and qualify our attention, and impel our actions. Outraged anger drives us to write laws that will later be enforced by impersonal justice. Intense grief at the death of someone in our life discloses the contours of that life to us. Wonder spurs scientific inquiry.
The strong current of Western thought that idealizes a dispassionate world has ostracized the passions as quaint, even dangerous. Intense states have come to be seen as symptoms of pathology. A fondness for irony along with our civic ideal of tolerance lead us to prefer the diluted emotional life of feelings and moods. Demonstrating enormous intellectual originality and generosity, Philip Fisher meditates on whether this victory is permanent-and how it might diminish us.
From Aristotle to Hume to contemporary biology, Fisher finds evidence that the passions have defined a core of human nature no less important than reason or desire. Traversing the Iliad, King Lear, Moby Dick, and other great works, he discerns the properties of the high-spirited states we call the passions. Are vehement states compatible with a culture that values private, selectively shared experiences? How do passions differ from emotions? Does anger have an opposite? Do the passions give scale, shape, and significance to our experience of time? Is a person incapable of anger more dangerous than someone who is irascible?
In reintroducing us to our own vehemence, Fisher reminds us that it is only through our strongest passions that we feel the contours of injustice, mortality, loss, and knowledge. It is only through our personal worlds that we can know the world.

Port Clinton, Ohio - Today's NRA High Power National Championship started this morning with the Navy Cup Match. The Navy Cup is shot from the standing position at 200 yards. Competitors and their rifles are allowed two shots for sighting before taking the next twenty shots for record.
Last year's High Power champ Carl Bernosky took the 2011 Navy Cup title with a score of 199-5x. Following yesterday's results, Bernosky will have a fight on his hands for this year's Cup as shooters from the United States Army Marksmanship Unit (USAMU) are poised to make a claim of their own.
The results for relays one and two are in the books. Leading the pack is USAMU's Matthew Rawlings, pictured above. With four out of the top five morning finishers, the USAMU's drive for this year's NRA Navy Cup looks to be a strong one.
While we wait on scores to come in for Bernosky's relay, please enjoy the photographs below of this morning's match.

A Battling Stopover Before Leaving Syria
... bulding from one of the many demonstrations ensuing around the country.
I watched for hours, the firing of machine guns, rushing of crowds, arrests, regrouping and resting of the forces, the operation of command, and the various degrees of military discipline.
It was somewhat surreal and almost like watching a movie. I heard no reports of injuries. I suspect ...
A close call
On Tuesday the road-trip continued with a visit to the Church of Saint Simeon Stylites. This is the oldest surviving Byzantine church, dating back to 5th century and located in the dead city of Telanissos, close to the ancient city of Antioch. St Simeon joined a monastery in this area, but soon decided to seek the religious life alone as a hermit monk. After living in a cave for a little while, he relocated to the top of a pillar eventually reaching 15 meters high to ...
Ruins, ruins and more ruins
... On the drive we went up and down mountains which we could see the coast and Lebanon. This was as close as we got to it. The castle was the most intact castle we have seen. Again it sat on top of a mountain with great views of the valley below. We walked along the castle wall and up and down towers and through different rooms. Before we knew it it was time to leave.� Our driver took us to Homs where we caught a bus to ...
City Break 2
... a Noria and the An-Nuri Mosque which is now open. I eat to the sound of water and my complaining camels. The meal is excellent and I get a beer.
Like a moth drawn to the flame I return to Emad. After coffee I look longingly again at the two I will not buy and make my purchase. I know I shall get great pleasure from it. We embrace and part. Goodby, or maybe au revoir, Inshallah, to another new friend. I will miss ...
More of the Flat Stuff
I sit outside the hotel waiting for my washing, drinking coffee and watching the world go by. I pack, say my goodbyes and ride around to Mamoun. He, Mohamet and Ahmed are genuinely pleased to see me and we sit drinking coffee. Mohamet speaks some English so pleasanteries and blessings are exchanged. Perhaps next time I visit Palmyra I'll stay in the camp? Another round of farewells and I'm on my way.
