She's A Cheat1 of 11
By Meagan McCrary, co-author of The Little Black Book of Big Red Flags
Researchers at Indiana University found that women cheat almost as much as men do, with 23 percent of men and 19 percent of women admitting to unfaithfulness. Yet, the reasons women and men cheat are often different, with women being more emotionally driven. You've got to think like a lady to catch one in the act—or stop the act from happening in the first place. Watch for these signs confirmed by real women who've strayed and men who've been cuckolded.
Sign No. 12 of 11
She accuses her man of cheating. This common sign is an attempt to divert the guilt away from herself, and to project her dishonest behavior onto her partner. "My girlfriend of three years all of a sudden started questioning my every move," says Mark, 28. "Turned out she had slept with another guy." Also, if a woman knows that her guy has been unfaithful––or that he's broken her trust in a big way—then she may be tempted to do the same. While she may not be willing to throw away a marriage over it, a wounded woman may give herself permission to even the score.
Sign No. 23 of 11
She starts dolling herself up. If a woman suddenly starts taking hours to get ready for places like the gym or the grocery store, then there may be someone she's trying to impress. "I typically showed up for my business school classes in sweats, no makeup, hair in a bun. I had a boyfriend; what did I care?" say Sara, 27. "Then I developed a crush on a guy in one of my classes. Soon enough, I was spending an hour to get ready for school, swapping my ratty sweats for cute dresses." Of course, a crush doesn't always lead to cheating, but this may be a sign that the emotional motivation is there.
Sign No. 34 of 11
She tells her husband she needs space. Some couples use a separation period to save their marriages, but it should be a mutual decision made by both partners for the specific purpose of working things out. A woman thinking about straying, on the other hand, may ask for some time away from her partner without a solid explanation. "My ex told me she needed some space, then went off to hook up with someone else," says Jeff, 29.
Sign No. 45 of 11
She drops hints that she's not happy. Comments about needing more romance or feeling unsure of a future with her current partner may sound like empty threats. But a woman who says these things may decide that if her guy doesn't start giving her what she needs, then she's going to find someone who will. "I'm one of those women who craves romance, cuddling, flowers, love notes, the whole shebang," says Leslie, 39. "I've reminded him that there are other fish in the sea. No change. So when a guy in my office started paying all sorts of attention to me, I went with it."
Sign No. 56 of 11
She has a new BFF her partner has never met. For starters, this new "friend" may not even be a girl at all. The friend could also be a single gal pal looking for a wing woman… and sometimes a woman is all too eager to go along for the ride. "After living together for three years, I knew the relationship was over when my ex started spending all of her free time––and all of the time we had to spend together––going to the clubs with a woman she met in her spin class," says Chris, 27. While this may not mean she's cheating (yet!), she's still dipping her toe into the singles pool.
Sign No. 67 of 11
She changes her plans… at midnight. If she consistently ends up staying out all night, then it's time to question her loyalty. "I told my boyfriend I was going out for drinks with a colleague and would meet up with him later in the night," Sara says. "Then a guy I had a crush on from work showed up. Hours later, I called my boyfriend to say I was 'too drunk' and needed to sleep at my friend's apartment; then I went home with the guy."
Sign No. 78 of 11
Someone else thinks she's cheating. "I knew someone who had firsthand knowledge my girlfriend was cheating," Mark says. "But I believed her when she said it was a lie, because nobody wants to believe the worst, no matter how obvious it may be." While we love a man who stands by his woman, if other people—like her spouse's friends, or even complete strangers—flat-out tell him that his lady is cheating, then she most likely is.
Sign No. 89 of 11
She has a sudden increased interest in her partner's whereabouts. A woman carrying on an affair needs to cover her bases. If she starts wanting to know her man's plans for the day, especially when she's supposedly at work or otherwise busy, then she could be making plans of her own. "My ex-husband was an electrician, and his work schedule was different from day to day. Sometimes he would be home at noon, sometimes not till 8 at night," says Rachel, 36. "When I planned to meet up with my fling, I would always call him in the morning to see where he was going to be later that day."
Sign No. 910 of 11
She gives excuses to not have sex. If every time her guy start to make moves, she makes excuses—she's too full, too tired or too bloated—and if she's not being intimate with her partner, then chances are she may be sleeping with someone else. "We stopped sleeping together because she didn't 'feel as close to me' as she used to," Mark says of his ex. "I'm assuming now that this was because she was feeling closer to the other guy's naked body."

Sign No. 1011 of 11
She's checked out. If another man is meeting a woman's emotional needs, then she will lose her enthusiasm in her current relationship, even when it comes to things like arguing. "After being married for five years, our screaming and fighting faded into a general tolerance for one another," says Jen, 30, of her and her husband. "I was tempted to cheat on a few occasions and even took a guy's phone number. I was desperate for a little excitement."

On the other hand one statement that you come up with is a bit illogical, because you get wrong the notion of "Dark Ages". It's not about the human darkness and brutality of the age, but because it is called like that due to lack of written evidence. In that time 99% of people didn't know how to write or read, except some in the Catholicy clergy or high nobility.

We propose an on-site training program to train and certify our youth residents in Fabrication of Steel Beds and Steel Cabinets. As part of their rehabilitation program, these children will not only acquire skills which they can use once re-integrated to their respective families and communities, but they can then also become productive, self-reliant, and effective non-recidivating members of the rehabilitation program they are now in.
Twenty-five Children-In-Conflict with the Law who are not enrolled in outside schooling will directly benefit from this project which will last for two months. The project concerning fabrication of steel beds and steel cabinets will directly benefit all children in the center at present and in years to come.
Our vision is "For these selected group of children to learn and enhance their trade skills and capabilities and to later transform themselves as economically productive and self-reliant persons." Only by working on this vision can we fully realize our dedicated efforts in helping them attain positive changes and redirection in their lives.
Goal #1: To help the Children-in Conflict with the Law learn and improve their trade skills and capabilities by engaging themselves in a short-term, in-house training program over a period of two months.
Goal #2: For these CICL to transform their learned and enhanced trade skills into a personal and economic productivity gain upon their future discharge from the center.
RRCY will provide 35.57% of the total cost of the project, specifically including hiring the trainer and purchasing a portion of the materials necessary. We are asking the Partnership to supply 64.43% of the cost of materials.
Note: This summary was provided by a Peace Corps Volunteer and the community administering this project.

Commissioners answer critical editorial; it's a statewide policy
July 18, 2012 —
In an editorial in its Tuesday, July 10 edition, The Wayne Independent criticized the Wayne County commissioners for withholding information from the county coroner as to the cause of death of former Texas supervisor Jack McDonald, who died last week. The editorial called the commissioners' action hypocritical, saying it deliberately intended to withhold information from the public, which has a right to know.
"Apparently, in Wayne County, they have to fill out a request and then the county would get back to them—all costing everyone needless time and money," the editorial said. "When we asked those involved why this is the case, the coroner said it's the county's policy, and Vickie Botjer, chief clerk of the county, said it's in the coroner's rules. In other words, they are pointing the finger at each other."
Brian Smith, chairman of the commissioners, said that "we have the obligation of following state laws in such matters. This isn't something that is up to our whim. It's the law—the Right-To-Know Act. There's a procedure that has to be followed arising from Act 3 of 2008. It's statewide."
"We responded the next day," said Botjer, "although we have five days to respond to this kind of request. They got the information in less than 24 hours."
Smith added, "We will follow the law although we will be criticized by a newspaper. "If we don't comply with the provisions of the law, we may end up in the paper criticized for something that we should not have revealed. We will end up in the paper for the wrong thing."
Commissioner Wendell Kay reported that there had been a similar situation a few years ago. "We insisted that the law be followed and were upheld by the Right-to-Know board," said Kay. "In addition to following the law, we must be consistent in our response. We try to do that."

First Raccoon Recorded in North CampusLast week, while I was away in Costa Rica finding amazing bugs of all varieties, Sam's camera trap discovered a new species of mammal for our North Campus list!
Raccoon found under bridge in North Campus
Opossums, squirrels, dogs, and cats have all been spotted in the North Campus since we planted the space, but until recently we had only suspected that raccoons were part of that mix too. Raccoons, Procyon lotor, are common urban mammals often found in the urban core. These nocturnal mammals are notorious for destroying new lawns as they try to reach the tasty grubs and other insects that come to the surface after heavy watering. They are clever little creatures and will neatly roll up the new turf to get to the tasty invertebrate morsels they are craving. Another pestiferous trait is their proclivity for dumpster...

Letting cows feed themselves in winter is a good way to save on winter feed costs.
Table of Contents:
- Bale Grazing Lets Cows Feed Themselves
- Producer experiences
- Waste is a concern
- Bale grazing in Alberta
Harvested forage is generally used in northern climates when snow covers pastures, but time and expense can be saved if you don't have to haul hay in from the fields and then back out to the cows.
Windrow grazing, where forages (particularly annual forages) are cut and left in windrows for grazing in the fall and winter, has become popular, but bale grazing is gaining popularity, as it provides economic and environmental advantages over some traditional feeding methods, says Lorne Klein, a Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture grazing and forage specialist.
A few decades back, folks bale grazing their cattle were often considered poor managers; not so anymore. "Particularly in the past 10 years, stockmen have begun to realize the benefits of this method," he says.
Advantages of bale grazing
Many early bale-grazing programs involved hauling bales to a specific site, placing them in a grid pattern, and allocating a certain number of bales every 3-5 days by using electric wire. "But, the ultimate cost-saver is to graze bales on the spot where they're dropped, rather than haul them somewhere," Klein says.
Windrow grazing keeps plants at the stage of maturity they were cut, rather than becoming over-mature if they're standing all fall and winter. Plus, bales do a better job of holding nutrient quality of forage (less weather damage), and are easier for cattle to access after heavy snow.
"Snow is a non-issue when bale grazing. Cows are large and strong; even if there's a snowbank, they push through it," Klein says. "And when the snow melts toward spring, as long as the ground is frozen, there's no damage to the soil/plants."
Some management experts advise ranchers against haymaking because of the expense, but Klein argues that most of the cost of hay isn't in the cutting and baling.
"It's what you do with that bale afterward – hauling it in and hauling it back out, or to another location. All winter long, you're starting a tractor every day to move and feed bales. And, if you feed cattle in a pen, manure must be hauled out. That probably doubles the cost of the hay," he says.
But, leaving bales in the field minimizes the cost, he says. "Some producers bale graze 1,000 cows, and move very few bales. The bales stay where they're made, and the soil fertility stays right there, too," Klein says.
Extensive research at the Western Beef Development Centre in Saskatchewan compared bale grazing to feeding in a corral and hauling manure out. It showed huge benefits in letting cows eat bales in the field.
"When you feed in a confined area and haul manure to spread on a pasture or hayfield, you recover 1% of the original nitrogen content of those bales," Klein says. "When you bale graze on fields at the proper rate – at a stocking density where you enhance vegetation – you recover 34% of the original nitrogen in the bale. We have photos of old seeded pastures that now look brand new, because we've imported these nutrients."
Even hauling bales to a pasture that needs fertilizer is more effective and cheaper than hauling manure out or using commercial fertilizer, Klein adds. The results and benefits last longer because there's a combination of nutrients and litter from manure and wasted hay.

I've been reading other posts and now know that I cannot refreeze ebm. But, I have had a problem with my milk supply and what I do have expressed is so precious. Just a couple of days ago I had to go on a trip that I thought was going to last longer. I brought 3 bottles of frozen milk in a Medela PIS cooler tote with the ice pack in it. I only opened the tote once before I got back home. When I got back the milk had thawed but was still extremely cold; I have put it back in the freezer.
PLEASE tell me that I can keep this milk!?!?

- Title
- Maintaining competence : a grounded theory explaining the response of university lecturers to the mix of local and international students
- Author(s)
- Gregory, Janet Forbes
- Abstract
- The purpose of this research is to discover how university lecturers in management subjects respond to the mix of local and international students in their classes. The aim is to develop a substantive theory based on a conceptual understanding of the main concern of lecturers working in a changing Higher Education context. The aim of developing theory rather than providing rich description led to the choice of Orthodox Grounded Theory as the methodology. Grounded Theory is an inductive methodology that provides the methods to conceptually generate the patterns that explain the behaviours of participants in the substantive area. This was relevant for the current research as I commenced with no explicit hypotheses and there was limited literature on the responses of university lecturers to teaching diverse groups of students, particularly a mix of local and international students. Interviews and observations were conducted with lecturers from both traditional and newer universities in Melbourne, and data analysed using open coding, categorising, constant comparison, theoretical sampling and coding, and frequent memoing. The main concern of respondents emerged as balancing professional capability with the requirements of a heterogeneous student population. The Basic Social Process and Core Category that resolves this concern is Maintaining Competence. Maintaining Competence is both a causal-consequence model, and a typology model consisting of four strategies - Distancing, Adapting, Clarifying and Relating. The emergent Grounded Theory of Maintaining Competence contributes to the extant literature, in particular the literature on professional competence, and the literature on teacher centred and student centred approaches and on contextual and contingency models of teaching. It adds to the latter by demonstrating the importance of the interplay of moderating variables, specifically Forces in the Lecturer and Forces in the Environment. The thesis adds also to the Grounded Theory literature in its explicit presentation of Orthodox Grounded Theory methods and its discussion of the research journey of a novice grounded theorist.

Canadian Eskimo Dogs are best suited as companions for adults, rather than children, as they can be over-excitable. When used as sled dogs, they were often required to forage and hunt for their own food.
Consequently, many Canadian Eskimo Dogs have stronger prey drive than some other breeds. Owing to their original environment, they take pure delight in cold weather, often preferring to sleep outside in cold climates. Like most spitz breeds they can be very vocal.

This beef goes way back . Heres the summary of it.
Who do ya'll back?
I'm with Cage. I do admit Em can spit frie once and a while. But Cage is more real.
Remember how good things used to be?
(Although I seem.. and appear..)
Remember how good things everything used to be?
(.. to the naked eye to be normal..)
It used to just be so good
It used to just be me and this girl;
(.. thoughts grow haunted inside my head)
yeah, right.. rrright!
(.. then strike! Pull out my naked eye and with this..
my mask of sanity's about to slip!)
Sittin in my room with a razor blade
Thinkin all my days are played as much as my single needs to fade away
Shoot myself in the arm and start bleedin
Don't wanna go yet, stick a straw in my wound and taste my heart beatin
Fuckin bitch left me and I ain't even peaked yet
(Fuck all that noise playboy, this leak's wet)
Smoke a bundle to the face lace my brain and neurons
Carvin all my downfalls into my fuckin forearm
(Cage snap out of this, it's just a girl)
It's just the world, it's just a life, it's just a rusty Rambo knife
wedged between my ribs scratchin my heart up tonight
I'm gonna pull this shit off in front of all my friends
Went swimmin under the Brooklyn Bridge tryna catch the bends
Didn't swim deep enough my head imploded ten percent
Floated to the surface, the paramedic's like - what's this stench?
(I want everbody to back up, he's still alive)
[Chorus x2]
I'm a suicidal failure, look my life's a failure
I can't make it in rap because my birth's an error
Do what I can to catch a quick death
but I'm meant to be here and that's the fuckin hell I live with
Took the phone off the hook, ate multi-colored pills
Washed it down with Absolut and started writin out my will
Give my dawg bootlegs PS2 and DC
To my girl who left me when she said, "Pick me or PCP"
Since I love to smoke I thought it was a joke
Tried to hang myself and I fell free from the rope
Broke both my arms, my neck smashed my femur
Got up somehow and limped in front of a beamer
Cracked my rib cage, look what you did Cage, you're dying
but I'm not dead yet I'm still trying
Cut my wrist and walked past some crips bleedin red
in hopes that I get shot in the fuckin head
I drank a bottle of Jack, sniffed three bottles of kitty
In the middle of the freeway walkin to the city
So much PCP I changed my name to watermouth
Pumpin Masta Ase I walked into a jewish +Slaughtahouse+
Throw myself on the hook, now that's the chorus
Got split from my neck to my dick, now that's what poor is
Hollow man look at all my dangling parts
Dropping to the gutter with a piece of you in my heart
Little piece of shit that I couldn't fling from my chest
Should of stayed alive long enough to kill the fag you're with
but right now, my skin is gettin stripped off
Each one of my limbs is ripped off covered in thick sauce
My head hits the conveyer, I'm not thick(?) and a prayer is sick
I'm wacthin a movie at Loewe's alone and you suckin some guy's dick
Six seconds left when I die I'm gonna find her
on some Poltergeist shit while my face goes through the grinder
Cage vs. Eminem

A man was arrested after impersonating a police officer just to get a discount at Dunkin Donuts.
Charles Barry, 48, was arrested in Pasco County, Fla. after a manager at a Dunkin Donuts shop called the police to report a man claiming to be a police officer showing his badge and a gun in order to get a discount on doughnuts.
According to the Tampa Bay Times, employees told police Barry had asked for the discount several times, claiming he was a U.S. air marshal. He took full advantage of the discount by stopping by with his family to get cheaper food. Employees finally had enough when Barry came to the drive-thru window and asked for the discount, this time showing a badge and a gun.
Police stopped Barry after setting up surveillance near the Dunkin' Donuts, pulling him over and finding a law enforcement badge and gun in his possession, which belonged to Barry's father, who worked as a police officer in New Jersey.
Barry was charged with false impersonation of a law enforcement officer and improper exhibition of a firearm.
Pasco Sheriff Chris Nocco stated that usually, deputies are only allowed to accept discounts that businesses offer them, but that no officers are supposed to ask for one.

Wayne and Dave Holbert are seeking a permit that would allow them to expand their bluestone quarrying operation, which is now about 10 acres, by an additional 40 acres. The application permit says that the acreage is located in a rural district, and that "operations will consist of blasting, crushing and screening of limestone rock within the permit area."
If the area is located within a rural district, then it would be allowed with the issuance of a conditional use permit by the township. But if it is instead located within the township's Delaware River Corridor (DRC) district, then, according to the Lackawaxen Township Zoning Ordinance, the quarry expansion would not be allowed.
Sean McGuinness, superintendent of the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River, wrote a letter to Brain Stuart, chairman of the Lackawaxen board of supervisors, which said that the acreage is, in fact, located in within the DRC district. As such, the proposed expansion is prohibited not only by the township's own zoning ordinance, but also by "Land and Water Use Guidelines," which were developed by the U.S. Secretary of the Interior through Congressional mandate back in the 1980s.
McGuinness wrote, "There are no conditions or standards that the township supervisors can impose on a 40-acre quarry operation in the DRC District to make the use consistent with the township's ordinance, or the secretary's Land and Water Use Guidelines." He said in an email to The River Reporter that if the supervisors approve the permit, he will pursue the matter in court.
But the Holberts may argue, as they have in the past, that the quarry is not technically in the river corridor because it can not be seen from the river. According to sources familiar with the situation, the Holberts applied for essentially the same conditional use permit back in 2008, using that same argument.
The last time the argument surfaced, the question was not settled because the application was withdrawn. It is not clear what the supervisors might decide this time.
Supervisor Rich Krotcha said in an email that at a meeting in June the Holberts appeared before the township with two engineers, one of whom showed a cross-section map and maintained that the quarry is technically not in the river corridor.
He added in a follow-up email that according to the engineer's study even from the New York side of the river, the quarry can't be seen unless one travels 200 feet or so up the mountain. He wrote, "Looking at the cross section of the two states with the Delaware River shown, the quarry is beyond the river corridor."
Wayne Holbert, one of the brothers, said he would speak about the matter after this reporter read the transcript of the last meeting, which was not possible before deadline.
The supervisors are expected to make a decision on the permit on July 20.

I hit the single apostrophe directly followed by c
' c = ç
But you can find internetpages for special signs too. Welcome.

Depends on what OS you have. Windows OS's have a set of ALT sequences you can use. Hold down the ALT key and enter a 4 digit number on the numeric keypad. Note: some laptops don't have the numeric keypad, but you probably have a Character Map function hidden away as a pop-up menu when you click on the Windows logo key. Macs have another way of doing it. Linux machines generally have to use a Character Map.

Yes to all of the above, but often I find a document with the character I need, and then cut and paste it into my new document...
Or go one step further: create your own reference cheat-sheet with your special characters in it, for archival purposes.

Nate ran down the stairs, only to spot something he would never expect so close to his front porch.
"I saw something that, I looked like, you know, off the corner of the roof that looked like a body," Nate explained.
It was not until police commotion calmed down that he and Amelia realized it was Heenan's dead body on the sidewalk.
"Never in my mind would I, could I possibly imagine that they would for any reason do that to him," Amelia said.
Now, for the Royko Maurers, it is a lot of frustration of the unknown. Amelia listed a number of unanswered questions about the investigation, wondering if the officers had tasers, if they gave any threatening people a warning, if they were in enough danger to pull the trigger.
Madison Police would not provide any additional information or go in front of television cameras about the case, despite requests and questions asked over the weekend.
Police reported Friday that they responded to a call for a burglary in progress in the 500 block of South Baldwin Street. An officer saw two men struggling outside of a home. One of those men – presumably Heenan – reportedly "engaged in a physical confrontation with the officer," during which he was shot and killed.
Sources close to Heenan say it was a misunderstanding. They say Heenan wandered into a residence two doors down from his own house accidentally. As a woman upstairs was calling police, her husband went downstairs and recognized Heenan. According to accounts from friends and family, police pulled up as the neighbor was helping Heenan get back to his home.
Amelia still maintains that this was no burglary or intentional break-in and wants to see this case looked at very carefully.
"It was a mistake, and he was not a violent person, he hates guns, he's kind, he's gentle, he mirrors what this neighborhood is about," Amelia said.

They came to the window of the van and talked in Sinhalese whispers to Affan. The sentry was nervous, it was obvious.
"It is not safe here, any moment something could happen. When you go back, tell others not to come"
"Let's go Affan, let's get the hell out of here! Just drive..."
All the time while planning my trip I had told myself that I would go to any country as long as I wasn't "unwanted" there. It was now clear that there were some people in Vavurnya that didn't want me there..
Hold that thought, let me get back to that... first, the wedding day.
-- Wedding Day - Getting there
The daily life of Affan and his family was much like most North Americans, insanely hectic.
Leaving Mirissa Beach, where I had been soaking up the sun for a few days, we picked up the kids from school, zipped out to run some errands then stopped by the bank... today Affan was unusually hurried, it was his friend's wedding day and many things needed to be done before the 3 hour ride to Colombo for the night's festivities.
Zipping down side streets, cars passing us on the wrong side of the road, tuk tuks honking their horns constantly and driving madly, all seemed normal in the safety of Affan's mini van, until the bubble burst.
CRACK! Screech!!
A tuk tuk speeding by the van had hit our side mirror and ripped it clean off of the vehicle. Affan stepped out of the van into the traffic to inspect the damage.
"No problem" Affan calmly told the tuk tuk driver while examining the dismembered mirror he was now in his hands like a wounded bird. As if nothing had just happened, he jumped back into the van and sped of, back into the whirlwind of traffic. Within the hour a friend would crazy glue the mirror back on for us. "No problem"
Passing overturned trucks, vans laying in the ditch and busses strewn on the side of the road would now remind me of how unsafe these roads were, even with Affan driving.
Affan, Uma, friends and family all packed into the van we left late that afternoon for Colombo where we would first stop at Affan's brother's house to change into our wedding clothes before finally arriving.
-- Like a sore thumb
In a sea of swirling Sri Lankan Muslims, one Atheist, white skinned Backpacker stuck out like a sore thumb, me
Armed with only a hearty smile and totting an arsenal of cameras, I strutted into the main "Women Only" seating area with Affan and his friends, the wedding had begun.
"You go, You go" they said pushing me from behind and gesturing to the alter.
Feeling extremely uncomfortable with the whole situation, I started walking, passed hundreds of seated Muslim women to finally arrive in front of the bride and groom as they sat facing the crowd, being fed milk from a silver spoon from an elderly lady, a South Indian marital custom I was later told. I could feel all of the stares piercing from the crowd deep in my stomach. "I shouldn't be here" I thought.
Despite some inquisitive looks from the groom, no one seemed to mind that I was standing directly in front of the couple taking pictures like mad. "Maybe I should go now", not wanting to push my luck, I scurried back to Affan after having bagged my fair share of pictures.
Rushing upstairs to the men's eating area with Affan and his seemingly endless stream of smiling and welcoming friends, the adrenaline started to die down. It was time to eat.
"Fork and Spoon" Affan's friend shouted to the waiter as he pointed to me.
"No no, eat with hands, like you!" I said enthusiastically to my new friend.
They all burst into laughter as they respectfully nodded to me.
Everyone was speaking in Sinhalese, it was hard to understand what everyone at the table was saying. Although every once in a while they would all brake into uncontrolled laughter and look my way as I sat there whith a wide grin. I was the entertainment at Affan's table that night...
Everyone was so kind, making sure not to load too much Sambol (Hot) curries into my rice and always making sure the waiter served me first.
The festivities lasted only 2 hours.
"Best wishes" I said to the groom as I shook his hand promptly after Affan had explained to him who I was.
On the journey home to Galle, I couldn't stop smiling 'What a genuine experience' I thought... brilliant.
-- Yala, Safari
The wedding out of the way, it was time to start our tour of Sri Lanka. First stop, Yala National Park
"Elephants" our Jeep driver shouted as we approached a family of 5 enormous elephants bathing in a shallow pond.
The Safari, overpriced and brutally uncomfortable was something I was glad to have done but not something I'd do again.
Riding into the setting sun, we ended our safari tour with a roll full of wildlife pictures and an empty wallet.
Riding around in dusty, pot hole riddled roads for hours to catch a rare glimpse of a fleeing animal. 'I don't think safaris are my thing... '
"I think I'll bump the Serengeti a little further down on my list of 'places to visit'" I thought.
-- Speechless
It was getting harder and harder for me to find words to express what I was seeing and feeling as we got further into mainland Sri Lanka
After the Safari we headed for the temples in the dark night. In Kataragama, a Hindu, Muslim and Buddhist temple stood. Not one tourist, but hundreds of zealots swarming to give fruit offerings to Shiva or to smash a flaming coconut on the ground for Buddha.
An experience I was sure to relive again many times in India. I was humbled and feeling, yet again, completely out of place. "Soak it all in Luc, soak it in"
-- Sri Pada - The journey
During our picturesque drive to Sri Pada, better known as Adam's Peak, I ogled at enough waterfalls, monkeys crossing the road, tea plantations, lush towering hills and awe inspiring vistas to make my head spin.
The drive up to the base of the mountain I was to climb at 1am that evening, was a long spiralling one as we climbed higher and higher into the heart of Sri Lanka. Ears popping from the altitude, we stopped to drop some pots off at a friend of Affan's
"Shall we have tea?" Affan asked as his friend and his wife waved us in.
"Sure!" Never pass up an opportunity.
Affan's friend's family were vegetable farmers and I don't think they'd ever seen a foreigner in this neck of the woods. Basking in the wonderfully authentic experience of strolling through their garden in the middle of a valley surrounded by plantations I sipped my warm milk tea.
Agreeing to shell out the coin to tour around Sri Lanka with Affan was turning to be the best thing I could have done.
-- Sri Pada - The Pilgrimage
"It is foolish not to climb Sri Pada but it is ever more foolish to climb it more than once" Uma told me when I had arrived in Galle a week ago.
Not only is it foolish to do it more than once but it would be very difficult!
The climb is, for Christians, to see Adam's footprints, for Buddhists, to see Buddha's footprints and for Hindu's, to see Shiva's prints but for me, it was to see the sun rise.
The most difficult thing I've ever done in my life was to climb to the peak
Not sure what to expect once I reached the summit, I stumbled up, sweating and cold to the dark peak. The tiny temple at the top was full of pilgrims, cuddling in corners and huddled together to keep warm.
At 6am, the masses started to gather on the east face of the rock, pushing and shoving their way to get the best view of the sunrise, it was still dark.
Slowly dark outlines of mountains and mist filled valleys started to appear.
A burst of yellow shot up to the right over the horizon. The crowd chanted and shouted to the sky.
For 30 minutes the sun slowly rose in red, orange, purple and pink hues that ripped through the clouds
Finally the sun broke passed the distant mountains and filled the temple with a warm orange light as the Buddhists began to pray. The attention turned away from the sunrise and to the Buddha as the pilgrims sat and cupped their hands in prayer.
I sat on the steps, engulfed in the welcomed heat from the sun and decided to give meditation a first crack in this ideal, serene setting.
My most vivid memory of the journey was right there... sitting on the steps, Buddhist prayer filling the air and the warm sun casting it's first rays of the day onto me, so bright that my eyelids glowed yellow when I closed my eyes to meditate.
Being one of the only non-Sri Lankans on the summit, the locals stopped to giggle and photograph me. Whistling to get my attention, at times quite rudely. Not having slept much and having just climbed 7km straight up, I was slowly getting annoyed, but then I realized, this was how some others must feel when they're behind my intruding lens
A wrecked mess of heaving sweat and battered bones, I stumbled to a freshly awoken Affan.
"I never want to see another stair again" I gasped to Affan with a big smile on my face. He burst into laughter.
'Magical', This was, by far, the most pure, unspoiled, travel experience I had ever had the pleasure of living...
-- Malaria
The taste of metal rusting in my mouth had faded days ago and it was "Pill Day" for my malaria meds. I decided to take another pill to see if my body had gotten used to the drug, it hadn't. That night in Kandy, nightmares awoke me at 5am. This had to stop...
-- The Ancient Cities
Leaving Kandy we stopped off at the Buddhist publication society to get some information on Buddhist meditation courses on the Island, then we were off to see the Ancient Cities
-- North bound, the road to Jaffna
Having read the paper each day and talked to many military personnel in Sri Lanka, we had a naive notion that it was safe to make it all the way to Jaffna, the most northern town in Sri Lanka and the Tamil Tiger's well fortified base. We were dead wrong.
Seeing the Red Cross van idling in front of a restaurant in Polonaruwa, we stopped to see if they knew what the situation up north was like.
I walked into the cafe and asked the waiter to point out the person who was driving the van
"Nono, all of Sri Lanka is safe now" the Red Cross worker told me.
"Boat from Trinco or fly from Colombo but the land route may be closed, here," he reached for a pen "call Mr. Siva, he will help you."
Mr. Siva worked for the ICRC, an International body in Sri Lanka responsible for ensuring that both sides of the conflict conducted their warfare in accordance to the Geneva convention. He was in Vavurnya, the last government held city in the northern part of Sri Lanka. We would head to Vavurnya to talk with Mr. Siva and find out wether it was safe.
We filled up the van with enough gas to get us there and back.
Affan looked at me before turning the key to start the van and shouted "Jaffna Baby!" and we were off.
As the roads started getting rougher, Affan turned and said
"Best to lock the doors"
"Why?" I asked
"You never know, is better I think"
That's when I realized that even Affan didn't quite know what to expect
The drive to Vavurnya was a foreshadow of what was to come. Bunkers and pillboxes with camoflage clad soldiers every 500 meters, checkpoints at every several kilometers and razor wire bracing every open piece of land. This was a country at war.
We arrived into Vavurnya in the early afternoon. I felt quite safe at first, Military men in bunkers at every street corner clasping ak47s and military convoys passing every 10 minutes, but when we finally reached the ICRC office and found Mr. Siva that feeling would soon disapear.
"What gave you the idea that it would be safe to come up here anyway?" he asked quite candidly.
He sat back in his chair squinting his eyes and staring at me like I was some sort of creature he'd never seen before and said "You know, you're the first tourist I see make it all the way up here. If you would have come yesterday, you would have been turned back by the Sri Lankan Army (SLA)"
I started to explain "Because of the ceasefire, we thought it would be possible to go to Jaffna
"Hmmmm, well, it is possible to cross but first you must get approval from the military, but remember, once you cross the border, passed the mine fields, you will be in the hands of the LTTE, we have no military presence there, we cannot help you."
"If you would like to go, see the Government Agent (GA) and apply for a pass, if you need any help, anything at all, please call me" he gave us his personal home number and led us to the GA.
No harm in applying, after all, the information we were getting was very contradicting. Safe? Unsafe? We would later find out.
At the GA's office, the GA provided the application and said he would rush it through. The GA informed us that the Elephant Pass, the main road to Jaffna was closed but it was possible to get to Kilonochi, the most northern Tamil Tiger village before the pass. The new plan was to stay the night and see if the minister in Colombo had approved the application in the morning, if it still seemed safe we would go to Kilonochi.
Now we needed a place to stay. Rest houses are government run motels, and in Vavunya, it was the only place to stay.
Straw mats for beds, no mosquito nets, no running water and horrible service, but being the only show in town we decided to stay
-- Apocalypse Now
"You know you'll need approval from the LTTE's foreing minister before passing the LTTE side, your pass will only get you passed the SLA" the gray haired man with a british accent shouted from across the dining room of the rest house were we had decided to have a drink and think things through.
"You have to call this satellite number, at a specific time of the day and then fax a request and then wait for the reply. All of this on top of the SLA approval" he continued.
He was smoking Ganja and was stoned out of his mind. Cameras strewn across his table... he was a photographer.
"Can you get me a press pass? I've seen the killing fields, we could work up a pass in the kitchen with some old chemicals!" I shouted back jokingly making reference to a scene in the movie "the killing fields" where a Cambodian is given a fake press pass to evade the Khmer Rouge.
"Ahhh the killing fields... you know, the reporters in the movie, they were my friends" he said
His name was Tim Page. I'd never heard of him but once he explained that he was the photographer that Denis Hopper character had played in the movie 'Apocalypse Now', I held more weight to the process he was starting to describe which we would have to go through to cross the border
I sat with Tim for the rest of the day as he smoked Ganja and showed me some of the books he'd published while he was a photographer in Vietnam during the war. In the photography world, Tim was famous. 9 published photo books, 2 text books over 20 years of distinguished work in Bosnia, Kroatia, Russia, Combodia, Vietnam and so many other waring countries that I started to wonder just how bad northern Sri Lanka was. If he'd come here to take photos it couldn't be that safe.
Tim quickly sobered us up to reality.
"This is like Boz! It's just like fucking Boz, they haven't got anything right here" he muttered as he compared Vavurnya, the town we were in, to Bosnia. A comparison which immediately sent chills up my spine. "Down by the mines, they have some technicals and are searching every inch of every passing vehicle" he had been denied access to the LTTE side earlier that day and was livid.
Tim complained constantly about how unorganized the country was and how difficult it was to anything done.
"Luc, listen to this. My room key is in the key room. Right? Now, the key for the key room is with the key boy. Got it? Now, here's the kicker... the Key boy is gone grocery shopping with the key to the Key Room! How fucked up is that! Only in Sri Lanka!" Tim blurted as he curled up and laughed madly flailing his arms in the air.
"Now, listen to this, in the north, passed the checkpoint, there is a 30 minute time difference..
Tim turned to blast the waiter "Cambodia, has 20 years of war and now they prosper. Understand? Vietnam has 20 years of war and now they boom! ... and Sri Lanka? It's time to wake up chaps!"
As Tim explained the border situation to me, I realized it was time for a new plan. "Ok, we are safe here, in the rest house, we know that much. Let's spend the night and make a decision in the morning" I thought.
"Shall we eat? There's some great roti just down the street" Tim asked
"Sure... why not" I was getting hungry anyways and I didn't want to eat at the rest house.
Tim struggled with his camera and fumbled his way out of his chair. Tim had a limp, from a land mine in Vietnam. He later explained that he had taken shrapnel in the head and had lost 15% of his brain. The limp was the only lasting physical damage.
It was dark out, the nightly power cut had started. The power cuts in Sri Lanka had gone from 2 hours to 5 since I had arrived. The power crisis was getting worse. Burning trash lit the way down the street passed hundreds of Tamils squatting in corners and scurrying around. The Military, with their full arsenals patrolled the streets
Tim and his 2 man, Sri Lankan camera crew walked with me to the corner for some dinner.
Tim was hopping energetically about from side to side taking pictures of just about anything that moved and attracting way to much attention.
Over dinner, Tim gave me some photography pointers and offered to take me to the mine fields in the morning. He was in Sri Lanka to redo his photo essay which had been published some 20 years ago and the mine fields in the early morning was one shot he couldn't miss. I thanked him for the offer and said that I would see if my clearance had passed in the morning.
Back at the rest house, now realizing that it was much more dangerous in Vavurnya than we had originally thought, I called it an early night and locked the doors and windows.
-- Morning
"First we check to see if the van is still here" Affan said looking out the window of our room as we awoke
"1, 2, 3, 4... 4 tires, we are good." He laughed and rolled back onto his bed.
The tap broke away from the wall as Affan tried to start the shower. This place was the worse I had ever stayed in.
Then it hit me, I realized which character Denis Hopper had played in Apocalypse Now. Denis, or Tim as it were, was a crazy, titchy, photographer in Cambodia that had been taking way to much acid. From yesterday's chat with Tim, he fit the profile perfectly.
As we packed our bags, my gut told me to get out of town. Don't pass go, don't collect 200$, just leave.
"Affan, screw the damn DMZ permit, we're leaving." I said firmly. I hadn't slept well, had been bitten by so many insects through the night that my face was dotted with red marks and more importantly, my gut feeling was telling me that it wasn't safe to stay there any longer. I'd had enough.
Leaving the rest house, we stopped at a checkpoint to talk to the military
"It is not safe here, any moment something could happen. When you go back, tell others not to come"
"Let's go Affan, let's go! just drive..."
All the time while planning my trip I had told myself that I would go to any country as long as I wasn't "unwanted" there. It was now clear that there were some people in Vavurnya that didn't want me there...
On the drive out of the city we could see Tamil flags on every building, they had held a rally in Vavunya just 2 days ago and had their insignia plastered just about everywhere the eye could see. The tigers were even selling snuff tapes of their attacks on the military which they had carried out over the years. Tim had bought all 3 tapes.
When I arrived at the safety of my Negombo beach lodge, 400km away from the northern border, I bumped into a nurse I had met at the Vavurnya rest house
Tim was braver, or maybe just more stoned, than I was, he had left for the LTTE side earlier that day. We exchanged emails and promised to visit each other one day.
Safe and sound, on the beach, thinking back to that day's morning in Vavurnya it all seemed surreal. I was glad we went but was happier that we had mad it back safely... I would stick to the beaten path for the rest of my stay in Sri Lanka.

Pike child abuse program Saturday
October 23, 2013 —
A Child Abuse and Safety Symposium will take place on October 26 from 1 to 3 p.m., at the auditorium of the Dingman-Delaware Middle School on State Route 739.
The free program's goals include breaking the cycle of silence about child abuse, and promoting empowerment and prevention through awareness. The program sponsor, Pike County United Women, is asking the public to "work together now to stop events that could change the course of a child's life forever."
The program comes as new legislation has been introduced in Harrisburg to change the definition of child abuse.
Scheduled symposium participants include state Senator Lisa Baker, state Representative Rosemary Brown, Pike County Sheriff Phil Bueki, Diane Quintiliani and David Bever of Safe Haven of Pike County, child advocate Tammy Gillette and Brian Goldsack for the child safety puppet program Spotty Mcgoo and Friends, seen on Facebook.
The creation of Brian Goldsack and his mother, Yolanda Goldsack, Spotty Mcgoo and Friends features puppet video programs for children ages three to 10, to teach them about taking ownership of their bodies and that their voices will be listened to.
One of the program's puppet characters, General Sparky McPatton, has a military mission to eradicate child abuse in the video "This is War." Pike County Commissioner Rich Caridi performs McPatton's voice in the video.
Caridi told the commissioners' meeting audience that he has been told, and colleague Karl Wagner confirmed, that he has military style in his speech, which prompted the invitation. "I was proud and honored to participate. Child abuse is an epidemic," he said.
Visit Pike County United Women on Facebook for more on the program.

Hey everyone. I am a new mother of a 3-week-old (beautiful) baby girl. Before she was born I decided that I wanted to bf her exclusively at least until she was 6 months old. I had everything planned out and I just knew bf would be a walk in the park; after all, it's the natural thing to do how hard could it be?
Boy was I in for a surprise! After 3 days of non-stop nursing, a VERY hungry baby girl, sore and cracked nipples and no milk I started supplementing formula and using an electric pump so I could bottle feed instead of bf. I now wish that I wouldn't have. I'm afraid that my milk supply is getting too low. I've been using a Medela Lactina electric pump, and I pump every 3-4 hours during the day, and no longer than 6 hours at night. The problem is that I can barely pump 2oz from both breasts combined each time I pump. Early in the morning it's a little more than that, but still, Justice eats at least 3oz in every bottle! I can't keep up with her!
I really would just like to start all over and give bf another shot. Is it too late? How do I switch and get her off the formula completely? She is a very sleepy eater, so if I don't pump how will I know if she's getting enough to eat?
Thanks for any help you guys!

I know. I've been super lazy about blogging and commenting lately. For some reason, ever since the season ended, I haven't had much motivation to blog. Not good. So when I looked at the Latest Leaders today, I was super surprised that I was still in my general area with #19!!! I was pretty shocked. Thanks so much to all my incredible readers here. Even though I haven't been giving you much, it's so cool to know that you're still visiting. Thank you. It really means a lot to me.
UPDATE: So I didn't realize that this Latest Leaders was for the whole regular season. That's so cool! From April to October, this blog was #19 in popularlity. Wow. THANK YOU!!!
I've dedicated this number to this man before, but it's worth doing again:
So this last weekend I was in Arizona. Since we really didn't have anything to do, I thought this would be a perfect oppurtunity to go check out some of the Spring Training stadiums. We only got to one, Hohokam Stadium, which is the Cubs' Spring Training facility.
It was a very interesting experience. First of all, it was 100 degrees outside. When we got there, there was about half an hour until a game was starting between the Mesa Solar Sox and the Surprise Rafters. Craziest thing. You would have never guessed that there was a game about to be played. It was so quiet! Sure, there were a few people in the stands, but it was so still and peaceful.
We walked behind the field and were able to get a great view of the stadium.
It was really, really cool to see a Spring Training stadium like that.
Well, since the Red Sox got elimiated, I haven't really been tied to the playoffs. I got to watch a few of the games while I was in Arizona, which was really cool. Though I'm definitely not cheering for the Yankees, I gotta say that that walk-off win the other night was pretty cool. But only because it was Jerry Hairston Jr. who scored the winning run. He's so much like Scotty, it's incredible!
Wow, I just checked the score from last nights Phillie-Dodger game: 11-0 Phillies!!! Wow, I really love that score!
No Padres news lately😦

I love A.F.L. I will be going to a game next wk. But go Phillies ? Rule #1 for a west coast team never EVER root for a East Coast team vs. a West coast team . Freeway Series needs to happen to shove it up the butt of the East coast sports media & it makes our div. look better any way. Also screw the Red Sox ! I am so glad they were eliminated early . This stupid East coast weather sucks & we have real baseball weather out here . Too bad the Pads could not be in it this yr. but they will be back
Go Pads in 2010 !
I agree, hate the Red Sox and Phillies! Dodgers are down 3 games to 1 but I would still love to see them come back and face the Angels. My main reasons are, good for the West Coast and our division, and second, so the best broadcaster of all time can call another World Series. The Dodgers are lucky to have Vin Scully all the time, but just once I would like younger baseball fans to be able to enjoy his talents before he is gone. Glad to be back in San Diego, finally, after so long, and I am looking forward to next Padres season! See you all at spring training and/or Petco Park!
Congrats on the ranking! And congrats on the Phiilies moving on!
