Starved and abused: Inside Indonesia's nightmare zoo
- From: AP
- March 14, 2012
THE tigers are emaciated and the 180 pelicans packed so tightly they cannot unfurl their wings without hitting a neighbour. Last week, a giraffe died with a beachball-sized wad of plastic food wrappers in its belly.
That death has focused new attention on the scandalous conditions at Indonesia's largest zoo. Set up nearly a century ago in one the most biologically diverse corners of the planet, it once boasted the most impressive collection in Southeast Asia.
But today the Surabaya Zoo is a nightmare, plagued by uncontrolled breeding, a lack of funding for general animal welfare and even persistent suspicions that members of its own staff are involved in illegal wildlife trafficking.
The rarest species, including Komodo dragons and critically endangered orangutans, sit in dank, unsanitary cages, filling up on peanuts tossed over the fence by giggling visitors.
"This is extremely tragic, but of course by no means surprising in Indonesia's zoos, given the appalling way they are managed on the whole," said Ian Singleton, a former zookeeper who now runs an orangutan conservation program on Sumatra island.
The zoo came under heavy fire two years ago following reports that 25 of its 4000 animals were dying every month, almost all of them prematurely. They included an African lion, a Sumatran tiger and several crocodiles.
The government appointed an experienced zookeeper, Tony Sumampouw, to clean up the operation and he struggled, with some success, to bring the mortality rate down to about 15 per month.
But following last week's death of the 30-year-old giraffe Kliwon - who had for years been eating rubbish thrown into its pen and was found with a 18-kilogram ball of plastic in its stomach - Sumampouw said he's all but given up.
Nothing short of a "total renovation" is needed, he said.
"We need to either think about privatising or transferring out some of the animals."
With entrance fees of less than $2, critics say there's not enough money to care for the animals, much less invest in improving the zoo's facilities.
One of the biggest problems is overcrowding.
Whereas most zoos limit the number of animals born in captivity - taking into consideration how many can reasonably be cared for or exchanged with other zoos - the notion of "family planning" has not yet taken off here. Contraceptives are expensive and there are not adequate facilities to separate males and females. As result, species at the Surabaya zoo are bred to excess.
The 180 pelicans are kept in a pen the size of a volleyball court. Nearby, 16 tigers - 12 Sumatran and four Bengalese - are kept in a prison-like row of concrete cages.
One white tiger, whose parents were donated by the Indian government nearly 20 years ago, is now covered by skin lesions.
Let out so rarely, she suffers from back complications that make it difficult to just stand up, let alone walk, zoo curator Sri Pentawati said.
"There are too many tigers," she lamented. "We have a hard time rotating them out to get all the exercise they need."
Sumampouw acknowledged he has had little success in controlling the undisciplined staff.
He said he believes some animals, including three young Komodos that disappeared last year, were stolen by caretakers and sold into the exotic pet trade.
Zookeepers also have been accused of taking meat meant for the tigers and selling it in the local market.

This is a disgrace! The problem is that they even treat humans this way as well. Take they way prisoners in the jails are crammed in. Human Rights and Animal Rights Activates should be having a field day with countries like this! Disgusting!!
Chris of Bali Posted at 11:25 AM March 14, 2012
To all of those comments that are pointing the finger at the Indonesians for mismanagement of this zoo, we seem to have forgotten that we Australians were exporting live farm stock to countries that were inhumanly slaughter animals. Do we all have short memories? Sometimes Australians disgust me more.
Gricey of Lismore Posted at 11:24 AM March 14, 2012
All those boatpeople sitting in cages get them to work in the zoo at least they will be doing something constructive while they wait to be processed and the money can be spent on food for the animals!!!

Why be libertarian? — The non-aggression principle — Because it's the right thing to do? — Or because it works?

The other day I got to watch birth happen. I got to watch a woman pull up all the strength inside of her and use it to bring a newborn child into the world. I got to remind this woman of that strength when in her mind, she didn't think it possible. I got to watch her body do what it knows how to do, and held witness as her body taught her mind the incomprehensible. I got to breath and moan with her through the process. I got to see the baby's head emerge, out of one world and into another. I got to see the father's overwhelming joy and awe at that moment as new life came forth. I got to see this baby placed on his mother's chest and breathe his first breath.
Witnessing birth is like witnessing anything in nature do it's thing. It's in these extraordinarily ordinary moments when life truly makes sense. Yet we don't get it in our heads, where we usually make sense of the stuff of life; we make a connection somewhere else. Maybe that's why it's so hard to put into words.
I have seen the potential of birth- I have been the one physically moving life through my body, while at the same time feeling at one with all of Life. I have experienced a power and divinity flowing through me as I became a threshold. When women experience that, they know they have a power, a creative impulse capable of bringing the utterly new and unimaginable into the world.
So as I read the stories of our sisters in the Laboring for Change series, I understand something profound- even as unacceptable maternal health conditions rise, the potential for us to change it also rises. So many of us can perceive this; women such as Hudda who lost her mother to childbirth complications and Lucia who has also been a witness to birth ending in death. We feel these conditions propelling us toward a new model.
We are headed there, one empowered birth at a time. We are headed there as we join together knowing we can do anything we put our hearts to.
We are headed there because we know changing birth changes everything.
Take action! This post was submitted in response to eMagazine: Maternal Health .

Eve M. Tai Swoon.
A Piece of Cake Bakery & Cafe (514 S. King St.) is the Larsen's of the International District. Like its Danish cousin in Loyal Heights, A Piece of Cake dazzles with cases brimming with baked goods. Making a selection might require an app that inputs personal criteria--mousse? custard? crust?--to help you suss out the cornucopia of Asian breads, buns, and cakes.
Eve M. Tai Swoon.
Although their frothy mousse cakes laced with fruit are perfect for summer, the Chinese baked goods win my attention. That still leaves half the bakery to navigate, but at least I'm teamed with a friend bearing a Chinese last name and matching appetite, Seattle Weekly's own Chelsea Lin.
The most famous Chinese dessert may be the dim sum stalwart dan tat, or egg custard tart. If you could pour sunshine fattened up on eggs and sweetened, evaporated milk into a personal-sized shortcrust shell, you'd end up with dan tat.
While mine wasn't a Tiger Mother when I was a kid, I thought twice before bringing home a report card bearing anything less than all A's. But get my mom around dan tat and I'd end up with a box of four even if I were the class dunce. A Piece of Cake's dan tat aren't the richest in town, but the flavor is custardy all the same and the shortcrust is good enough to scarf down on its own. Plus the price is right--$1.25. Try and find a personal pie at an uptown bakery at even thrice that price.
Other treats include the baby-bunny-shaped lotus paste bun--a great pick, notes Chelsea, for those who think red bean paste is a) overrated and b) overdone. It's baked to a pale tan and painted over in an eggy yellow glaze. The paste is sweet, mild, and refined as a courtesan's silk gown. And again with the crust already! It's generous on the shortening and so explosively flakey you're at risk of inhaling the crumbs.
Eve M. Tai Pieces of cakes.
For sticky-rice fans seeking life beyond mochi, try the wife cake, a mini-pancake stuffed with mashed sweet sticky rice. Like the other desserts, wife cake doesn't overdo it on the sugar. It's chewy and gooey and thoroughly satisfying.
A Piece of Cake Bakery & Cafe is like that girl or guy you overlooked at the school dance. The neon signs, hand-scribbled labels, and melamine tables look pretty plain-Jane. But the bakery sneaks up on you because the pastries actually taste better than they look. How often does that happen anymore? As Chelsea said after a few bites in, "I think I love this place."

Using Religion to Discriminate
With increasing frequency, we are seeing individuals and institutions claiming a right to discriminate—by refusing to provide services to women and LGBT people—based on religious objections. The discrimination takes many forms, including the following:
- Religiously affiliated schools firing women because they became pregnant while not married
- Business owners refusing to provide insurance coverage for contraception for their employees
- Graduate students, training to be social workers, refusing to counsel gay people
- Pharmacies turning away women seeking to fill birth control prescriptions
- Bridal salons, photo studios, and reception halls closing their doors to same-sex couples planning their weddings
While the situations may differ, one thing remains the same: Religion is being used as an excuse to discriminate against and harm others.
Instances of institutions and individuals claiming a right to discriminate in the name of religion are not new. In the 1960s, we saw objections to laws requiring integration in restaurants because of sincerely held beliefs that God wanted the races to be separate. We saw religiously affiliated universities refuse to admit students who engaged in interracial dating. In those cases, we recognized that requiring integration was not about violating religious liberty; it was about ensuring fairness. It is no different today.
Religious freedom in America means that we all have a right to our religious beliefs, but this does not give us the right to use our religion to discriminate against and impose those beliefs on others who do not share them.
Through litigation, advocacy, and public education, the ACLU works to defend religious liberty and ensure that no one is discriminated against or denied services because of someone else's religious beliefs.

GM need to walk the hotel and check behind the cleaning staff. Vacuum the Hallways. September 6, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by RMGTravel Average Stay Have to say as a Platinum 2013 SPG and now a LifeTime Platinum I was treated as though I walked in off the street and never frequented Starwood properties. Disappointing. From the approach at the front desk - and not having the simplest request I had made prior to our stay executed, I was not pleased with our experience. It appears until check out with an Associate named Ashley that none of the staff had any urgency or care about the experience. You have a lot of work to do. We did enjoy the Heavenly Spa and the staff at the spa. Clean and beautiful. September 3, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by ACinATL Great family fun! Thanks for a great weekend... our family had a blast! September 3, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by floridagrl10 We had a great stay We just returned from our stay at the Westin Savanah resort. This is a grand resort redone to perfection.. The location to the historical section of Savanah is great. So close to all the fun places to go but far enough to be relaxing. We were upgraded to a river view room as we are Starwood members. We loved the resort and will be back soon. September 3, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Arnold66 Wonderful Holiday My husband and I went on a Stay- cation of sorts to relax and enjoy our beautiful city from another perspective. The Westin was a great experience. From our check in to check out everyone was very friendly and helpful. I look forward to our next weekend visit to the Westin. September 2, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by JLB813 Service is lacking The rooms in this hotel are nice, ours had a great view of the river and the pool area was nice also. However, the staff here was not up to par. The maid staff left trash in our room and left parts of our 8 hour old breakfast from the morning sitting on the desk. They didn't provide clean drinking glasses or wine glasses even though they had clearly been used. The room was dusty even when we got there. We had to call and ask them to come back and actually clean the room. The front desk staff was unhelpful when we needed items and was downright rude when we asked for a late check out. The pool staff was unattentive, the original staff member that took our order disappeared inside and never came back. It took us 20 minutes to get someone else's attention. The rooms with the river view are nice but the pool is on that side of the hotel and it is very loud and is open long hours. Even with the door shut and all the way up on the 12th floor we could hear music, people talking, and kids playing. Double check the events going on at the convention center next door and don't stay here if there's a large event going on. We were there during the craft beer festival and we aren't huge into craft beer so we didn't plan to attend, but those folks were using the same ferries to get across the river as we were so it resulted in long lines of loud drunk people and overly crowded boats that weren't running on time. Very annoying when we just wanted to hop quickly across the river for dinner or sight seeing. I'm a starwood preferred member and usually have great experiences at starwood hotels but I will not be staying here again. September 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ftz1 Lots of great services Very nice stay- beds very comfortable as advertised- staff attentive and friendly- terrific eating facilities. One suggestion: provide coffee in the lobby/lounge area so guests do not have to wait in he Starbucks Cafe line just to get a cup of coffee. September 2, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Jack Nice resort -bad crowd My family stayed at this Westin Resort over Labor Day weekend -nice hotel and location BUT -they did not seem able to cope with mob of drunks attending a beer fest next door. Trying to access the only ferry across the river to downtown was an ugly nightmare. The hotel had no contingency plan, and seemed unable to call upon enough cabs to accommodate the guests. My suggestion to use the airport shuttle was ignored. We felt stranded among the rowdy drunks. I would not take a family back to this resort if you want to avoid a scrum with beer-swilling, profanity wielding lager louts. September 2, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by jechho Good option in Savannah Second stay. The rooms are a bit worn, but clean and tidy. Got a great spg platinum upgrade, but will aim for a balcony room or suite the next time. Plumming noises from above was very notable, so was doors slamming from the hallway. Pool area was okay, I would have liked an adult pool though. Lots of kids made it kind of noisy. And the music blasting from 11 am was not to my liking. Location is good for me – I like getting away from the hustle and bustle of savannah downtown. I usually enjoy the ferry ride from the hotel to river street, but this time it was a beer festival in the concention center. Needless to say the lines and the drunk people getting onboard in the evening was less enjoyable. The hotel guests should have priority embarking, in my opinion. Okay breakfast buffet. Great service from Shamika! Very attentive! She is a keeper! Pet-friendly hotel. Not my cup of tea. Hated that they let pets stay on all floors. A small dog was barking from 8am and for almost an hour (their folks at breakfast?) on at Sat morning on 13th floor. Please keep those dogs on designated floors! September 1, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Hornets50 Awesome Location! The location was great and the hotel was awesome. Loved the décor and the ambience. I only wished our room would not had been given away after making a reservation over a month ago. The room we were given had a small sink and it drained rather slowly. Also, we should have been told upfront that gratuity would be added to our bill if we used the 50% off discount card (not a savings). We were charged 32% gratuity on a meal for two people. What in the world!!!! Charged 18% gratuity in the lounge (no problem, that's fair#, and 21% gratuity on room service #still not bad). After it was all said and done, it was a great place to celebrate my boyfriend's 50th birthday. We look forward to going back, but we won't eat at the restaurant in the future, and we will inspect the room before we unpack and settle in. August 27, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by JB13 Best Guest Service!!! Stayed here for a Girls' Weekend and had a phenomenal time. Great guest service from Tatiana at the pool, Miguel at the bourbon bar, and Tyler and Simon the valets! Can't wait to come back!!! August 27, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Rolo50 Expected More I was told upon check in I would receive a card to allow me to get 50% off food and drinks at the hotel, and I had to go back and ask for it. The bathroom sink was badly clogged and drained very slow which was both annoying and unsanitary .And to beat all I was charged a whopping 32% gratuity at dinner after receiving very fair service Also Wi -fi stopped working and had to contact the front desk other than that my stay was fine. August 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Brenda518 Close to everything in Savannah but still a retreat from the hustle and bustle! Service was outstanding! The hotel was well maintained. Everyone we encountered went out of their way to make sure that we were having a great time and had everything we needed. August 26, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by PSS1 Nice Hotel....August can be a challenge! Observations: The hotel is nice and located in a good spot to visit downtown Savannah. The ferry is very convenient. The pool is a little small and it would be great if they used some of the extra space to create an adult pool. The rooms were OK, but needed updating. We had 'golf course' view balcony. Unfortunately, it really only overlooked the parking lot and air units. Although we knew August would be hot, we did not anticipate the mosquitos. They were very bad. The bugs at the pool were tolerable, but annoying. The golf course was terrible even with bug spray. I don't know how they can charge a full round rate in those conditions and not make people aware of the situation. That was very disappointing. August 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by lagoon1 very diverse in its amenities love, love the balcony viewing the Savannah River and a view of the City. Just an excellent place to relax!!! Our third visit. Can't wait to go back. August 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by SPGFromNJ Southern Charm with a Starwood Twist This property had everything that I have come to love about Starwood properties, but with a Southern twist. The staff was extra courteous. August 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ceedubb Very nice stay My wife and I had such a great time here. Everything was perfect. All the amenities were awesome.. Special thanks to the bartenders who were so friendly. The water taxi made it so convenient we didn't need to drive. We are looking forward to our next stay here. August 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ro55 This hotel has great features I always enjoy staying at the Westin!! August 26, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Neicy1 Never again in Savannah, GA! The room it self had nothing special about it. The bed was not at all comfortable as it should had been. I don't recommend anyone ordering room service at all! I order a sandwich after midnight. Not only did I have to put my sandwich together, the bread itself wasn't fresh. On top of that they charge a 21% fee along with a $3 delivery fee to bring it to you. So I paid $20 for an unassembled sandwich with chips and a glass of tap water to boot. When I decided, I wanted to go for a swim I couldn't do that either, the pool water was green! That was really disgusting. The sight of other people swimming in it made my stomach turn, especially when they don't know any better. The amount of money I paid for the 2 days I was there was not worth it at all. I was so disappointed with this facility. Durning check out the receptionist didn't ask how our stay was, she simply took my payment and sent me on way. August 25, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by s20mark You chose not to help me. The Savannah Harbor was a disappointment! It's a nice property, in a great location -just poorly run. I had the bad fortune to have a room next to someone who brought a dog into their room. There is an actual hotel for dogs. It's called a kennel. To let a large dog stay in one of the hotel rooms is bad operational judgment. The guest left the dog in the room all day and while I was trying to work in my room, the dog barked and barked and barked and barked. Also scratched the door incessantly. Not wanting to be "that guy" I put up with it for a while but when I was on a conference call and someone onj the call accused me of being at home because they could hear a dog, I had had enough. I cal the desk explained the situation and asked them to do something about it. "The reply I got was "we'll check into it." Don't know if they did or if they didn't but the barking didn't stop. I endured it for another hour and a half and called the desk again. I let them know this was my second call and the again said "we'll check into it." Didn't offer to move me to another room. Another hour later I had had enough. I packed up and went to front desk and explained that I was checking out. "why are you leaving early Mr Olson?" Because there is a barking dog in the room next to me, I'm trying to work, and you won't do anything about it. "Would you like to change rooms?" That's a question you should have asked three hours ago. I was so frustrated at this point I went to another hotel. August 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nic027 Exceeded Expectations Prior to booking our stay, I reviewed the hotel on TripAdviser. Many people stated that the staff was unfriendly and unhelpful. I found the exact opposite. Everyone was super friendly and attentive. The room was clean and comfortable. Both the Midnight Sun (bar) and Aqua Star (restaurant) were terrific; great service and yummy food. I will be visiting this hotel again. August 20, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Kincaids2013 Disappointed or embarassed There is so much that went from starting and check in and ending at check out. I hope someone contacts me for full details. We were not given adequate information upon check-in as we has listened to couples receive before us, the long wait for bags to be brought up. Breakfast and the treatment in the dining room was horrible and for checkout, we wound up bring the bags down ourselves. I can't believe how we were treated and the level of service we expected from having stayed at many Westin Hotels before, how different this was. This was supposed to be so special as it was my birthday celebration trip and ruined by the staff. It was an awful experience to say the least and that's saying a lot in itself. I wish there had been some staff person that actually cared working over this weekend and could have corrected some if not all of the wrong that happened. My wife and I both were truly disappointed and I can Google enough words to truly describe the horror. Everyone should take and be required to pass a customer service experience class before another day passes and I normally don't leave reviews as such but this deserve this and so much more. Then there was the inconsistency with the dining experience. Our Saturday am server was awful, explain absolutely nothing to us as we know everyone uses their own protocol in each hotel but she was deplorable and rude to us. I know it could have been worse but it also could have been much better as it should have been . I do not understand why it would take over 30 minutes to get my bags to my room and the same before I just brought them down myself to leave, not sure why I was not on a speedy check out as requested and told I would be as the CC was on file and we incurred no room charges for anything. I also requested 2 robes that were not in stock and not offer to mail to us, I know I can order online but I have had enough troubles already, why not offer to assist and make things better since you were out of the item to begin. August 20, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by TravelPro13 This hotel is sloooow.... The room was nice, but customer service was poor and slow. It was not to standard for the amount of the rate that was charged. August 20, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Zoe13 I was suprised it was not a better quality Some of the amenities in the room were old and did not work well, certainly not what one would expect from a hotel of this quality. I was unable to decline housekeeping (for sustainability purposes) without hanging a "Do not disturb" hanger, which prevented me from getting refills of coffee, etc. And this hotel only offers Starbucks medium blend coffee for in room service, of which I believe is too strong and tasted very poor. I had to cycle the pre-measured coffee filter twice in order to reach a drinkable cup. It seems the pre-measured is way too much for a single cup. The staff was nice but did not go out of there way to help. I had one attendee stand by and watch while I unloaded my car onto the luggage cart! My check in was delayed by 45 minutes - this is after the 4 pm check in time - even though I arrived at 3:45 pm. Overall - I expected more from this hotel. August 19, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Brian67 Great Location Staff was very accommodating. Alison was great! August 17, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by WorkoutQueen Dropped the ball on my package delivery I was eagerly awaiting my package delivery with supplies I needed for my stay at the hotel, but apparently there was miscommunication between the Savannah Post Office and the Westin Hotel package pick up because it took one week for a Priority Mail 2 day delivery package to be picked up at the post office and brought to the hotel for me to pick up. August 17, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by 1Richal85 disappointing stay room not ready for 4 hours after arrival August 16, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Annie46 CHECK - IN I dfidn't get a room until 20:30. The room was great 15th floor with a balcony. I heard some receive vouchers for lunch and an apolygy. I received a sorry card. I was my worst experience since resting at the Westin for the CJIS Symposium. August 16, 2013

I linked the following FT blog by Emma Saunders, from 11 March. I picked up the covered bond purchase number (4.8 billion) instead of the securities markets programme number (13.1 billion), being the holdings of the ECB at end of 2010.
Eurosystem bond profit - correction | Money Supply | News, data and opinions on market-moving economics from the Financial Times - FT.com
To set the record straight, ECB national accounts show that the central bank held more like 18 per cent than 8 per cent of bonds bought to aid sovereigns in distress.
17.8 per cent of them as at end 2010, to be precise. At the end of December, the total stock of bonds purchased was 73.5bn, and 13.1/73.5 is 17.8 per cent.
(Sorry for the 10 billion euro difference.)
The takeaway point is that, in the 5-and-a-bit months to June 11, the ECB has increased its holdings in the securities markets programme phenomenally :
13 to 75 billion on the SMP (62 billion net purchases)
I've no idea what proportion of the stock of distressed sovereign bonds that represents... any ballpark numbers around?
So :

The story of Nothing.
posted 5/13/2008 8:16:23 AM |
what's this?
report abuse
I find myself wanting to write a blog and tell a story. But I have this very real problem. I have no stories to tell. Which got me to thinking. Ouch! Won't do that again.
I have been single for two years this coming July. I've dating some and even gotten laid in that time. But for the most part, I've been alone. Which brings me back to the want for a story. How does one write a story with nothing to tell? A story of nothing.
Well, our story begins with a Jaded, women hating man, who wants nothing to do with women. That was me two years ago. It all seems like a faded memory now. How pitiful I was with all my distain. If only I were better now.
The relationship that ended and made me feel so un-attracted to women was at best a toxic relationship. For the record, we were madly in love with each other. When I sad madly, I mean just that. We had to be insane for being in love with one another. I can only relate it to being a Heroine addict trying to avoid the next fix.
We met online during a time when it was still new to meet people online. I was still married at the time. Although, my marriage was all but over I was still married. I never lied about it to her. I don't recall having giving her the idea that a relationship was even possible at that time. But, never the less we became friends. Very good friends. We talked about ever detail of our lives. All the good, all the bad and ever thing in between. Every minute with her was utopia. An escape from the hell I was living with.
My marriage was a farce. Two people living under one roof with separate lives. I had stopped being intimate with my wife long before I met my friend. Two years before to be exact. I wasn't until after my divorce that I learned that my wife never went without sex, just not with me. My reasons for not being with my wife were simple. She gave me not one, not two, but three STD's. I decided that my health was more important than make my wife happy.
So, here I am, celibate for two years and a wonderful friend who wants to be with me. Its no wonder that we moved from platonic to intimate. My child was 6 years old at that time. I kept my friendship a secret from my child. It wasn't the sort of thing I wanted a child live with. That her father was an adulterer.
A year goes by and my friendship has become a relationship. A weekend warrior relationship, but a relationship just the same. I kept no secrets from my friend. Nothing was taboo from her. So, when the day came that my wife told me that she was moving out, my friend got a call. Not the "she's finally gone" call either. It was a call to a friend about my broken heart. A hand reaching out to someone for help to ease my pain of loosing my family. She never once flinched about it. She rushed to my side and comforted me as only a true friend could.
Fast forward seven years....
We could not stop yelling at each other. Everything was a reason to argue. Dusty bathrooms, food in the fridge, or just time in a bottle. I felt like I was going mad. I didn't want to argue but I couldn't help myself. I wanted to be a nice guy. Something would not let me. The only answer to this problem is for us to stop talking to each other. The only way to stop talking to each other is to stop being near each other.
And that's how it ended. She went her way and I went mine. We haven't spoke to one another since that time. I've seen her once around town. I'm sure she has seen me more than once.
Two years......and I can't stop thinking about her. This is what heroine addiction is like......????

Only if I were willing to have sex with another women.....just can't seem to want anyone anymore.
perhaps I really am that Jaded.
May 13 @ 4:46PM
Native, maybe just maybe the time is right to try and talk to the lady.Is she in another relationship now?.If she is, sometimes just talking lays to rest ghosts from the past.
Took me 5 yrs to start to move on with my life.
love ya native.
May 13 @ 4:50PM
One of the parts of the story I left out is the number of times we broke up and got back together. That turnip has been milked dry.
thanks to anyone who offers wisdom or advice. My best laid plan has been to get to know myself again and be a better person. Then I will look for someone to spend time with.
May 13 @ 6:37PM
u kin think about her....but jus think of the bad times..........that will cure ya real quick
May 14 @ 6:39AM
Yep, do that every time. One of the events that "broke the camels back" is still fresh in my mind. I always thing of that moment and remind myself that is just wasn't worth it.
Now, if only I could stop grading other women be the standard that she set. I think that is my biggest problem. Once you've driven a Porche its hard to go back to a Gremlin.

Sharon and Bush meeting moved forward to July 29
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon will meet with U.S. President George W. Bush at the White House on July 29. The meeting had been scheduled for early September, but the American administration asked for it to be held on the eve of Bush's departure for his summer holiday on August 1.
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon will meet with U.S. President George W. Bush at the White House on July 29. The meeting had been scheduled for early September, but the American administration asked for it to be held on the eve of Bush's departure for his summer holiday on August 1.
Bringing the visit forward will allow the U.S. administration to keep a close eye on the political process between Israel and the Palestinians, in an effort to prevent its collapse.
The Americans are also closely following the power struggle in the Palestinian Authority between PA Chairman Yasser Arafat and Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas, and they are asking Israel to takes steps to make things easier for Abbas and boost his status among the Palestinian public.
Sharon, for his part, leaves today on a four-day visit to Britain and Norway - evidence of the improvement in the prime minister's international standing in the wake of Israel's acceptance of the road map and progress in talks with Abbas.
Sharon is seeking a meeting with Abbas on Thursday, following his return from London. Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz passed on Sharon's invitation to his Palestinian counterpart, Mohammed Dahlan, during their meeting last Thursday. Dahlan responded positively, but political sources in Jerusalem say that a meeting has yet to be scheduled.
Sharon intends informing Abbas of Israel's intention to up the number of Palestinian prisoners to be released. Israeli political sources say there is consensus among all the professional elements on the need for Israel to demonstrate more generosity with regard to the prisoner release issue. The U.S. has also asked Israel to show more flexibility on the matter.
The defense establishment suggests releasing Hamas prisoners who belong to the organization's civilian wing and were not involved in terror attacks. These individuals were not included on the original list prepared by the Shin Bet security service.
In comments published yesterday, Sharon urged European leaders to cut off ties with Arafat, while a key Sharon aide said Israel would consider deporting the PA chairman if he continued trying to "scuttle the peace process."
A senior Palestinian official said it was Sharon's "incitement" against Arafat that endangered peace moves.
Sharon was quoted by Britain's Daily Telegraph newspaper as saying European officials were making "a major mistake" by maintaining links with Arafat. Yesterday, a British parliamentary delegation visited Arafat at his headquarters in the West Bank town of Ramallah.
Meanwhile, U.S. special envoy John Wolf, who is overseeing implementation of the road map peace plan, wants a 60-strong team of monitors, including a significant security force, rather than the 10-12 observers originally planned. Wolf presented his plan to Israeli officials this weekend, before leaving for meetings in Washington. He will return to Jerusalem in midweek.
Wolf wants a larger team so that he can move freely through the area and post monitors at points of friction, instead of making do with meetings with Israeli and Palestinian Authority officials.
Last week, and without prior coordination, Wolf made a tour of the Netzarim region in the Gaza Strip to get a close look at the new security arrangements in place there.
Israeli officials, meanwhile, are at odds over Wolf's activities here. During a meeting at the Prime Minister's Bureau last week, a number of the participants expressed concerns and reservations about the activities of the U.S. monitoring team and insistence on "working by the book."
On the other hand, senior officials in Sharon's bureau, together with high-ranking security elements have a positive view of Wolf and his team. They noted that Wolf was very meticulous about the new security arrangements and had prepared "a matrix" of steps for disarming the Palestinian terror groups and that he intended to insist on implementation of the steps.
The U.S. administration is sticking by its understanding with Israel that the issue of the outposts and settlements will be handled separately from the general implementation of the road map and will be discussed along bilateral Israeli-U.S. channels.
Hence the task of raising the issue of the need to dismantle the unauthorized outposts has been entrusted to U.S. Ambassador Daniel Kurtzer, and not Wolf.

Last Chance: Washington National Opera's Nabucco, Reviewed
Earlier this week, we reviewed the Washington National Opera's production of Werther. Also currently on stage is the opera's production of Nabucco, which has a pair of remaining performances.
Now in its third week on the Kennedy Center Opera House stage, the Washington National Opera's first ever production of Verdi's Nabucco has had some time to settle into its groove. By last week, the cast seemed confident, hitting the limits of its performance potential and delivering an enjoyable rendition of the classic biblical redemption saga. Nabucco, based on the sixth century B.C. sacking of Jerusalem and enslavement of the Jewish people by Babylonian King Nabucodonosor (Nebuchadnezzar in English), was Giuseppe Verdi's third opera. Following a libretto by Temistocle Solera, the biblical drama employs a love story and the politics of repression and redemption as its narrative arc, a poignant message for a Northern Italy then under the thumb of an unwanted Austrian monarchy. Debuting on March 9, 1842 at Teatro alla Scala in Milan, Nabucco went on to secure Verdi's place as a fixture in the realm of Europe's musical heavyweights.
Philippe Auguin's orchestra didn't disappoint the ears last week, delivering a flawless performance, with piccolo and horn parts shining through as exemplary. While the entire cast sang well, at time individual performers could've stood to crank their voices up to 11. Even the otherwise bold singing of baritones Franco Vassallo (Nabucco) and Burak Bilgili (Zaccaria) was slightly less robust than it could have been when sword-brandishing and crowd-rallying demanded masculine boom. Sean Panikkar and Geraldine Chauvet, as the lovers Fenena and Ismale, sang beautifully, particularly in duet.
Volume was no problem for bass (and D.C. native) Soloman Howard, as the High Priest of Baal, and Hungarian soprano Csilla Boross, as Abigaille. Despite earlier criticism of her weak lower register, Boross delivered a powerful performance. No stranger to her role as the tragic Babylonian slave who becomes a queen—she took on the role at Teatro dell'Opera di Roma last year for Italy's centennial—she dominated the stage, filling the hall with brobdignagian vocals while she portrayed a convincing understanding of her character's emotional evolution.
Director and set designer Thaddeus Strassberger's beautiful staging showed off Verdi's distinctly mid-19th century continental take on the ancient biblical tale. Strassberger's renditions of the interior of Jerusalem's vaunted First Temple and of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, one of the seven wonders of the world, are stunning. Bold colors and believable perspective make the audience feel like it's sitting in the corner of Solomon's temple or staring at a Babylonian ziggurat from the grand city's main concourse. His depiction of Zaccaria, kneeling and draped in his ceremonial prayer shawl, praying alone in a dimly lit dungeon, beautifully evokes the desolate nadir of the Jews' suffering under their Babylonian conquerors.
Some of Strassberger's devices were confusing, though. Employing a recurring cadre of uniformed, rifle-wielding Austrian soldiers, several pairs of tuxedo- and gown-clad ballroom revelers, and a liveried lamplighter, he suggests a play-within-a-play to the audience. But the idea was vague until the third act, which showed "Va Pensiero" sung as if from backstage, with Strassberger's vivid scenery replaced by behind the scenes scaffolding (at one point, an elderly man sitting a couple of rows in front of me turned to his wife after watching the ballroom crowd waltz across the stage, exclaiming, "I'm so confused!").
"Va Pensiero," the repressed Israelites' call for deliverance from their foreign oppressors, was pretty, but didn't do what it could to communicate their plight or hopefulness. The tune flowed, but the opera's actual characters shared the stage with Strassberger's created ones, and thus seemed split between the real audience and the imaginary one. The squad of Austrian soldiers, who despite the orchestra-provided cadence couldn't seem to keep in step, awkwardly brandished their rifles when the 19th century component of WNO's cast joined in with their ancient-world counterparts as "Va Pensiero" got underway.
The significance of "Va Pensiero"—its use as an anthem for Italy's independence and unification movement, the Risorgimento—is the stuff of popular legend, equating the Hebrew slaves' longing for freedom with the Italian desire for independence from Franz Ferdinand's empire. When Nabucco debuted, Milanese audience members supposedly sang along with the cast as a way of expressing their displeasure with Austrian rule. But recent scholarship suggests that it may be no more than a tall tale.
"Va Pensiero" returned with renewed vigor at the end of the performance, when Boross shushed the audience's applause to begin the encore of the famous chorus. Italian supertitles appeared above the stage, encouraging members of the audience to sing along, but not many people took the bait. The performers' singing was very nearly inspiring, but its potential to create a musical-emotional nexus was quashed by lack of audience enthusiasm. Strassberger's production contained another quirk or two, but in large part it was as musically engaging, gloriously colorful and dramatic as I've always imagined operas ought to be.
As for fostering patriotism, hope, or whatever it is you're supposed to feel when a chorus strikes up "Va Pensiero," WNO made a good effort. The hauling out of the tricolori (red, white, and green banners and a Savoy seal-bearing Italian flag) made it easy to forget that Silvio Berlusconi nearly destroyed the Risorgimento's legacy over the past decade.
The Washington National Opera performs Nabucco Friday, May 18 and Monday, May 21 at the Kennedy Center Opera House. $25-$300.

CONWAY NATIONAL BANK PROVIDES OUTLET FOR PROPER AMERICAN FLAG RETIREMENT | e-STATEMENTS NOW AVAILABLE | 3RD QUARTER '15 SHAREHOLDER LETTER | TEACH CHILDREN TO SAVE | EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION
Conway, SC - As a tribute to our wonderful nation, Conway National Bank is proud to serve as a drop-off location for those individuals wishing to retire their American flag. When the flag becomes worn, torn, faded or badly soiled, it is time to replace it with a new one, and the old one should be retired with all the dignity and respect befitting our nation's flag.
The U.S. Flag Code states, "The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning."
CNB delivers the flags to the Boy Scouts of America to ensure proper retirement is carried out. They are one of a select few service organizations permitted to actually retire a flag.
While the ceremony for flag retirement varies by organization, the Boy Scouts offer a carefully choreographed ceremony. These emotional ceremonies, also known as 'final honors', are performed with precision and care. The organization takes this civic duty very seriously and performs the ceremonies under the watchful eye of Scoutmasters and District Executives.
"It is both an honor and privilege to have a hand in something as sacred to our country as retiring the American flag," says Jennings Duncan, President and CEO of CNB. "We have offered the service of being a drop-off location for years, and it is something we will continue to offer for years to come."
Flags can be dropped off at any of CNB's fourteen (14) locations, Monday-Thursday, 9 am - 5 pm, and Friday, 9 am - 6 pm. For physical addresses for each of CNB's locations, please visit our Locations page.

Despite continued concern about the health of the global economy as well as unrest in various foreign countries, the U.S. national economy experienced steady growth in the third quarter of 2015. According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, a division of the U.S. Department of Commerce, the U.S. national real gross domestic product (GDP) grew at an annual rate of 1.5% during the third quarter of 2015, in its advance estimate. Growth in real GDP for the third quarter of 2015 primarily reflects increases in personal consumption expenditures, state and local government spending, nonresidential fixed investment, exports, and residential fixed investment, partly offset by decreases in private inventory investment. Locally, total real estate transactions increased 15.3% for the first nine months of 2015, at 11,490, as compared to the same period in 2014, at 9,964.
The Company's net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 totaled $5,466,000, up 31.9% from $4,145,000 for the first nine months of 2014, for a return on average assets of .71% and a return on average equity of 7.27% as compared to .57% and 5.79%, respectively, for the first nine months of 2014. On a per share basis, earnings increased 32.1% to $3.33 for the first nine months of 2015, as compared to $2.52 for the same period in 2014.
Total assets increased to $1,062.5 million at September 30, 2015, an increase of 5.3% from $1,009.1 million at September 30, 2014; and capital stood at $102.6 million at September 30, 2015, compared to $97.3 million at September 30, 2014, up 5.4%. Total deposits were $858.4 million at September 30, 2015, an increase of 5.0% from $817.2 million at September 30, 2014. Repurchase agreements increased to $97.3 million at September 30, 2015, an increase of 7.8% from $90.3 million at September 30, 2014. Loans totaled $457.5 million at September 30, 2015, an increase of 5.2% from September 30, 2014; and investment securities were $494.0 million, an increase of 5.3% from September 30, 2014.
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 of $5,466,000 is primarily the result of the Bank's net interest income. Net interest income increased 4.2% to $21,524,000 for the first nine months of 2015 from $20,656,000 for the first nine months of 2014. Other factors which affect earnings include the provision for loan losses, noninterest expense, and noninterest income. The provision for loan losses was reduced to zero for the first nine months of 2015 as compared to $1,240,000 for the first nine months of 2014. The allowance for loan losses, as a percentage of net loans, stood at 1.92% at September 30, 2015 as compared to 2.16% at September 30, 2014. Noninterest expense increased during the period, 9.2%, to $19,087,000 for the first nine months of 2015 from $17,483,000 for the same period in 2014; and noninterest income increased 37.6% to $5,761,000 from $4,188,000 for the same periods in 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in noninterest expense was due to increased salaries and employee benefits, primarily medical benefits expense, and other operating expenses, primarily debit card expense, which was more than offset by increased debit card income. Noninterest income increased due to increased other operating income, primarily debit card income.
In the third quarter of 2015, the Board of Directors received approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency on the Bank's application to establish a Carolina Forest branch office at 4100 River Oaks Drive. Management expects to commence construction of this office in early 2016.
Conway National continues to maintain a substantial financial position and continually improving profitability, both of which compare favorably to local markets. Conway National remains dedicated to its conservative and prudent banking practices; and, as always, we are very appreciative of your continued support. We look forward to the future and continuing to build your bank steeped in our traditions of exceptional customer service, trust, and dedication to all of the communities we serve.
W. Jennings Duncan, President
CNB Corporation and The Conway National Bank
Our current economic times serve as a great reminder of how important it is to teach our young children the value of saving. Conway National Bank is proud, once again, to partner with the American Bankers Association by participating in their annual Teach Children To Save Day. This event brings students and bankers together to increase savings education. Since it was started by the ABA Education Foundation in 1997, more than 60,000 bankers have reached some 2.8 million young people.
CNB has participated in this event several years and has had the privilege of reaching thousands of second graders throughout their service area in Horry County and the Waccamaw Neck area of Georgetown County. While the national program focuses on children of all ages, CNB felt if you could teach them early enough, it would become a lifelong lesson. "CNB firmly believes that teaching children about money and savings is a crucial part of providing our youth with a superior education," says Jennings Duncan, President and CEO of CNB. "Children are typically fascinated by money and enjoy spending. That's why CNB has joined the nationwide effort to help educate children on these issues."
While this year's Teach Children to Save Day was April 21, CNB will implement its program May-June to accommodate the school system's academic calendar and statewide testing. Spreading it over two months rather than just one day also allows the Bank to reach a lot more children. The 45-minute program is conducted by several bank representatives and includes games and activities allowing students to apply the concepts of saving money. "Financial literacy is critical to personal and professional success. Money is not just a resource that you work for; it is a resource that should work for you. CNB has taken a leadership role in helping educate children about financial responsibility. It is just another example that shows they are invested in our children and in our community for the long haul." says Teal Britton, Horry County Public Information Officer. At the end of the program, each student receives a CNB piggy bank and a $5.00 savings certificate, which they can deposit in their previously opened or new CNB savings account. "These children are our future. Everything we do for them today helps secure a better tomorrow," says Duncan. "We are pleased to offer this program, and are encouraged by the enormous support we receive from our community educators. Without their support, none of this would be possible."
Plans are already underway for this year's program, and schedules are being set with the schools. If you have not participated in the past, but would like a visit from CNB, call Marcie Shannon, Banking Service Representative, at 488-8310.
In addition to the Teach Children to Save program, CNB works with high school students in the Fall with a Get Smart About Credit program.
