Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Living to a ripe old age? That's just bananas
What with the worldwide appetite for health-related news, we media persons are always on the lookout for stories about ways you, the average consumer, can live forever.
That's why every news organization worth its daily dose of salt jumps on fast-breaking medical stories, such as how Burger King, the world's No. 2 hamburger chain, is launching a new crinkle-cut French fry -- to be called "Satisfries" in the U.S. -- that contains 20 per cent fewer calories than its regular fries.
It also explains why I personally became excited in a medically significant manner this summer when I stumbled on stories about how Salustiano Sanchez-Blazquez, a 112-year-old self-taught musician, coal miner and gin rummy aficionado from western New York, had been declared the world's oldest man by Guinness World Records.
According to stories I read back in July, Salustiano -- better known to his friends as "Shorty" -- became the world's oldest man when Japan's Jiroemon Kimura died on June 12 at age 116.
The stories -- which I filed away for a day just like today -- were packed with interesting tidbits about Salustiano's extremely long life, such as the fact he was known for his talent on a double-reed wind instrument called the dulzania he taught himself to play and played at celebrations in the village of El Tejado de Bejar, Spain, where he was born on June 8, 1901.
But the thing I hunted for -- the thing you find in EVERY story about the world's oldest human beings -- was the part where they forced him to reveal the secret to his longevity.
And there it was, in black and white on my computer screen -- bananas! Seriously, the world's oldest living man attributed his amazing longevity to eating one bright-yellow banana every day, along with a handful of Anacin tablets.
What with being a health-conscious journalist, right away I said to myself: "Huh?"
I based that statement on the fact I did not have a clue about the health benefits of the humble banana. Moments later, I had another thought: "Hmm, maybe I should eat a banana."
And, so, based on the undeniable scientific evidence contained in online news reports about a 112-year-old man and his passion for a nutrient-rich fruit, I drove to the store and bought a bunch of beautiful ripe bananas.
Before buying them, I carefully hoisted them with one hand and, for safety reasons, gave them a good shake. I did this because I grew up listening to Day-O (The Banana Boat Song), wherein Harry Belafonte sings these alarming lyrics: "A beautiful bunch a' ripe banana/Daylight come and me wan' go home/Hide the deadly black tarantula/Daylight come and me wan' go home."
I plopped my tarantula-free bananas on the kitchen counter, and every morning I'd walk by them and think: "I should definitely peel one of those babies today." But I never did. I kept walking by until they turned the colour of charcoal briquettes, at which point my wife deemed them perfect for banana bread and popped them in the freezer.
The point is, despite being committed to improving my health, I could not find it in me to actually eat a banana, though I did show my newfound respect for their remarkable life-sustaining qualities by writing the following original poem:
"Roses are red/Violets are blue/Bananas are full of potassium/And they're easy to chew!"
I also visited websites praising the banana -- a typical one contains 467 mg of potassium -- as one of the world's healthiest foods. According to whfoods.org, "A banana a day may help to prevent high blood pressure and protect against atherosclerosis."
The important thing is, when I sat down Tuesday morning to write about the long life of Salustiano and his daily banana intake, I decided it might be journalistically wise to first check whether he was still, in fact, alive.
And, as sensitive readers may have already deduced, the news was not good.
According to several sad stories I have just finished reading, this simple man, a man who spent his life working in the coal mines of Kentucky before moving on to the industrial furnaces of the Niagara Falls area of New York, slipped away on Sept. 13, just three months after being handed the title of world's oldest man.
By all accounts, he was a loving husband, a caring father, and a man possessed of great humility. As for the banana-a-day diet, his daughter Irene had an entirely different theory about why her dad lived so remarkably long.
Here's what she told reporters: "I think it's just because he's an independent, stubborn man."
Which is comforting to me, because bananas may not have appeal, but stubborn I can do.

Question on view controllers and program design
Hello everyone:
I'm sure someone has come across this at one time or another and hopefully can help. I have a UITableView for which I have created a custom view for each row. The custom view is created in another class (which implements a UIView) which includes two images, a label, and a detaildisclosurebutton. The view displays just fine, the problem I have run into comes in when the user pushes the detaildisclosurebutton. The program should push another view controller onto the view controller stack then display it. I'm having a hard time trying to do this because since the button is created in the seperate view class, the button push is also handled there and I either cannot push the new view controller onto the view controller stack (because it implements a UIView and not a UIViewController) or there's some way of doing it that I'm not aware of. It would seem that no matter what you do, you need a reference to the rootviewcontroller which seems like it would end up being a cyclical reference. Should I add a reference to the rootviewcontroller in the custom UIView class and push it that way? (which seems a little messy) Or is there a better way of doing something like this? I can see that this issue can come up in the future and I would like to get the accepted method for doing this. Thanks, Joe |

There is a class called UITableViewCell, which is exactly what you need. Make your custom view for each row inherit from UITableViewCell and you should get notification whenever user taps on the row. The best way to evaluate this is to implement UITableViewDelegate method:
tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath: I hope this helps. |

Nov 3, 2008, 10:07 AM | #3 |
If you have a tableview then you have a view controller that controls it. All the code for navigation to new views should be in that view controller. It should have a didSelectRowAtIndexPath, which is called when a row is touched. If there's some other control in your cells that get touched they should send their action method to this view controller.
The next view that gets pushed should have its own view controller. |

Nov 3, 2008, 10:31 AM | #4 |
So then if someone pushes a button in that view, I should be able to respond to that event in my UIView class, and pass the event along to the next level up the chain of responders? I think that would probably be the table row itself (didSelectRowAtIndexPath I guess) If that's what you're saying, then that's something I need to do a little research on. If I can pass the event to the table row, then I have to figure out what was touched in the tablerow. But at least this would put me back into the roowviewcontroller class which is where I need to be to push the new view controller. I'm still green enough that I do not yet understand how to find out what was touched or pushed in the view, nor am I familliar with sending the event up the chain of responders, but I'm sure Apple has something with regard to that. Thanks, Joe |

Creative mom explores how to live a sustainable life with a focus on food.
Bacon prices are higher than ever but demand hasn't decreased
If your taste buds demand bacon, but the price is straining your food budget, try a recipe that uses just a little bacon but brings a lot of bacon flavor.
Wed, Aug 06, 2014 at 01:35 PM
A pound of this tasty stuff now runs about $6.11, an all time high. Photo: BGSmith/Shutterstock
Our love affair with all things bacon seems far from over even though Americans are paying more for it than ever. Two years ago, bacon shortages were predicted and the price has been steadily rising ever since. In fact, the price of bacon is now at an all time high, having risen in price an average of 41 percent since 2012.
Bloomberg reports that the average price for a pound of bacon is now about $6.11 a pound and costs may still rise through August. Yet, people aren't buying less. Although prices have risen about 14 percent in the past year alone, sales of bacon has risen by 11 percent. Americans obsession with bacon, whether it's served traditionally on the side of pancakes or breaded and turned into chicken fried bacon, rages on.
What's causing the price of bacon to rise? A deadly virus, the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus, has killed off some of the pigs being raised for food. Slaughter over the past year has fallen 4.8 percent. Supply is down but demand is up. Simple economics means the price will rise.
If you love the taste of bacon, but the prices are getting too steep, remember bacon is so flavorful that a little goes a long way. Try one of these recipes that include bacon, but won't use up the entire pound you buy.
- Rutabaga Hash with Onions and Crisp Bacon – This vegetable hash uses only 6 slices of bacon.
- Bacon and Summer Vegetable Medley – Only four slices of bacon go in this side dish that uses plenty of seasonal vegetables that are inexpensive right now.
- BELT Sandwich (Bacon, Egg, Lettuce & Tomato) – The classic summer sandwich adds an egg and uses 4 to 6 slices of bacon. Stick with four slices to keep the cost down.
- Cooked Kale with Bacon – Three slices of bacon, plus their rendered fat, give a lot of flavor to inexpensive kale you can pick up at the farmers market.

text: Segal Dies; Father of Noted Law School Lecture Series (continued) By Hon. Arlin Adams With such a distinguished career in law, it's hard to imagine that Segal almost took another direction. After high school he mulled a career in theater. His wife, Eleanor ("Pom"), said he received a scholarship to a performing arts school, but his mother feared he would not earn a living and talked him out of it. Still, with prodding from family, he found time later in life to pursue his artistic interests. "He just worked a lot … We kept begging him to develop some hobbies," Mrs. Segal said. Segal collected sculpture and was an accomplished photographer, and he continued to learn new things in his older years. He took up golf at age 65, became an enthusiastic pianist at 70, and mastered computers at 84. He also wrote an autobiography May It Please the Court! He is survived by his wife Eleanor ("Pom") CW '41; daughters Betsyann Carter and Kathy Segal; and son Robert.


text: Living LivingReligionBrazil Freya Petersen on Jul 26, 2013 @ 1:49 AMJul 26, 2013 @ 1:49 AM PublishedBrazil: Pope Francis hits Copacabana beach after tour of Rio favelaPope Francis has called on the world's rich to help wipe out inequalities, in between visits to Rio de Janeiro's favelas and famous Copacabana beach.The Vatican estimated that 1 million people turned out at Copacabana to greet the pontiff, who is in Brazil to celebrate World Youth Day.According to Reuters, he was driven slowly through a huge crowd, stopping to kiss babies and even swapping his white skullcap with one hand-made by a follower who passed it to him through the car window.Earlier, Francis visited a favela, or shanty town, in Rio de Janeiro.In Manguinhos, a sprawling shanty town once ruled by drug lords and so violent, according to the Guardian, that it was known as "the Gaza Strip," the Pope told the crowd:"No one can remain insensitive to the inequalities that persist in the world."Francis, an Argentine known for frequent outings into the slums of Buenos Aires even as a cardinal, appeared to appreciate the close contact with the favela's residents.That he chose to remind the world of inequality in Brazil seemed apt, given the huge number of Brazilians living in poverty. Despite a decade of economic growth in the country that has raised incomes for many, tens of millions of Brazilians still rely on little more than the basics to get by.World Youth Day is promoted by the Vatican as a way to inspire young Catholics at a time when rival denominations, secularism and sexual and financial scandals continue to lead many to abandon the Church.

Reward: The First Hero
The story of Alethrion and Amerath, the original creators of the map.
4.83 / 5.00 18,259 Views*update. Version2.0 now up, this time it has a menu with some additional information to give some sense to the animation
Heres my newest but unfortunately not my most original piece of work submission to Newgrounds after a long time hiatus due to my job and life.
Just a note that this animation is inspired/base off from another animation called "kansuto2.swf" if you guys saw it, I'm doing a tribute animation to it.
The purpose of this flash is to work out on my effect and motion tweening skills. In the future I hope to submit more original content and not works being inspired and base off someone else's.
Nice Easter Eggs! I had a feeling that is what you meant by 'old school'.
The first one did indeed make me laugh, I hadn't expected that. The second one was very well animated.
On to the actual flash: Brilliantly done! I've been curious about picking up that new Pokemon game just to live out some nostalgia from my elementary days with Red and Blue; I just may after seeing this.
Great work there ol' chap, Cheers!
trust me, many easter eggs begin like that in flash animations back in the days.
Wow, I'm impressed (And I impress easy)
I love the different style of animating for Steelix, the animation style, and the story, it's completely originoal!
make more
dud, that was epic, plz make more, and if possible make them longer :)
Really good. Ur animation is perfect, and it has alot of possiblities. It would be even better if you can make a story line.
this was just epic
good animation music and i loved the way you added in health bars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Matthieu and his girlfriend were excellent guests. Friendly, responsible, clean and very nice people. Highly recommended.
Matthieu never arrived, nor did I receive any phone calls. I emailed him and he never arrived as scheduled. The telephone number he listed on airbnb was not in service: This is the last email I received from him: "hello steven! just to let you know that we will be arriving at around 730 tonight! we have limited access to our emails but i will receive any message you send through airbnb Matt" This rating is completely out of character, I am taken aback that Matthieu would not be truthful, and rest assured I am a great host!.
Matt and his girlfriend were ideal guests. They were flexable, on the go, and social. They were clean, kind, and generous. We had a lot of fun hosting them.

Mohammad Musa has yet to perhaps take his first unguided step or perhaps even say his first word, but he already has a crime charged against his very young name. At only nine months old, Mohammad has been booked for attempted murder in Pakistan. He has appeared in court for the first time on Thursday, April 3, seated on his grandfather's lap sucking on a milk bottle.
Mohammad was arrested along with over two dozen other members of his family for attempted murder, threatening a police, and interfering in state affairs. Police alleged they threw rocks at gas company officials carrying out an anti-theft inspection in Lahore on Feb 1.
The gas and electricity supplies to the houses of residents who hadn't paid their bills were reportedly being cut off that time.
It was presumed the residents threw rocks at the police in mere frustration over their plight.
The boy's father, who was also arrested, said false reports were made against him and 25 others by the police. "Our crime is that we had protested against non-availability of electricity in our locality," he told Times Of India.
Mohammad has been alleged as being part of the group. The baby Pakistani boy may have thrown a rock, mot probably triggered by the scenario around him.
But to prove that young 9-month-old Mohammad threw the rock with the intention to kill is all together a different thing.
Video footage from the hearing released showed the boy being fingerprinted while sitting on his grandfather's lap. He was granted bail on April 3, but is expected to reappear in court on April 12.
The minimum age for criminal responsibility in Pakistan is generally 12. On that note alone, the murder charges slapped against young Mohammad should have been immediately dropped, Chaudhry Irfan Sadiq, the family's lawyer, told Agence-France Presse.
"The court should have simply referred the minor's case to the High Court to drop the charges against the innocent child and acquit him from the case," Sadiq said. "This case also exposes the incompetence of our police force and the way they are operating."
The judge presiding over the case said he did not dismiss the case against the child because it was not within his jurisdiction.
"A nine month old can never commit such a crime. This incident took place due to sheer misunderstanding on the police's part and was not done on purpose," The Express Tribune quoted Rana Abdul Jabbar, Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG), who was responsible for suspending Kashif Muhammed, the Pakistani policeman who charged the 9-month-old boy with attempted murder. Mr Rana had ordered a probe into the incident.
"Everyone in the court was saying 'How can such a small child be implicated in any case?' What kind of police do we have?" the young boy's grandfather told AFP.

West Bromwich Albion defender Jonas Olsson says he will treat the pre-season tour to the USA just like he does a Premier League season.
The Baggies are in action against MLS outfit San Jose Earthquakes in California tonight and the Swede says he will be up for the match as if it is a meeting in England's top flight.
"I always hear that the results aren't too important in pre-season. But everyone here, when they play a game, wants to win," he told Express & Star.
"If you ask the physical team and the medical team, they'll say it's about getting fitness. If you ask the gaffer, it's about getting the tactical things right.
"It is a training game so it's about getting all of those things – but you want a result as well. You always want a result.
"Personally, I don't think I can approach games or training in any other way than giving it my best and giving all I have.
"I don't think I have it in me to do it any other way."

April 24, 2015
PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- A Philadelphia jury pondering a landmark clergy-abuse case is re-hearing a defendant's testimony from a 2008 church trial.
The jury has deliberated for six days on the fate of two Roman Catholic priests.
Monsignor William Lynn is charged with conspiracy and child endangerment for his handling of sex-abuse complaints at the Philadelphia archdiocese. The Rev. James Brennan is charged with attempted rape and child endangerment.
Prosecutors say Lynn endangered Brennan's accuser in 1996 by keeping Brennan in ministry despite earlier red flags.
Brennan had not been accused of abuse, but nuns had complained about loud parties and male houseguests.
The jury has again heard Brennan's testimony from the church trial, which involves the same accuser as the criminal trial.

Aim: To explore whether early treatment of children with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) with immunoglobulin and/or corticosteroids reduces subsequent morbidity.
Methods: Centres participating in a Nordic ITP study were divided according to whether they had treated more than 2/3, from 1/3 to 2/3, or less than 1/3 children within 14 days of diagnosis. The course of disease from 15 days to 6 months after diagnosis was compared for children managed at the three centre categories. The comparison was restricted to children in whom at least one platelet count <20×109/l was measured, numbering 156, 143 and 84 in the three different categories, respectively.
Results: The three groups of children were clinically similar but were managed with initial treatment rates of 89%, 57% and 14%, respectively. By day 15, the platelet count had stabilised to >20×109/l in 67%, 67% and 52% (p<0.05) and to >150×109/l in 38%, 29% and 29% (p<0.20). At 1 month after diagnosis there was no difference in recovery rates. Chronic ITP developed in 27%, 22% and 25% in the three groups. During follow-up, one or more disease-related events occurred in 23%, 22% and 19%, with no difference in the average numbers of episodes with mucosal bleeding. Treatment courses were administered to 19%, 13% and 11%, respectively.
Conclusion: Active treatment policies accelerated platelet recovery in children with short-lasting ITP but did not avert the development of chronic ITP and did not cause a reduction in morbidity during follow-up.

That's the problem - the results weren't weighted. They show results by different groups (men/women), (age), (political association), (2008 Vote), and then totals for all 1,151 respondents.
5 years
If you look at viewership, Fox is in the top each and every night. I know that doesn't mean all the viewers trust Fox. I just found it interesting...
Also, weighting in polls is supposed to even things out if people refuse to answer or the pollster can't find more liberals. I can see why the results would be laughable if only raw data were used. Weighted, not so much.
5 years
I did like also that you could answer "yes" to any and all of the news channels. Something interesting that could be concluded from this study is that conservatives get the majority of their news from only Fox, whereas liberals and moderates watch multiple news channels.
Percentage of People who replied "no" when asked if they ever watch this channel's news:
CBS: Libs, 29%; Mods, 33%; Cons 68%
CNN: Libs, 21%; Mods, 31%; Cons 60%
ABC: Libs, 31%; Mods, 34%; Cons 67%
NBC: Libs, 22%; Mods, 33%; Cons 66%
FOX: Libs, 66%; Mods, 48%; Cons 13%
Now that to me is more interesting. I do think this study provides some insight into where people with certain political inclinations (liberal versus conservative) get their news, but I don't think the ratio of cons., mods., libs. they used is representative of the general public, so thus you can't make a general conclusion from this study.
5 years
I will say at least this is one study that provides it's methodology and actual results of the study - so kudos for that!

"PPP conducted a national survey of 1,151 registered voters on January 18th and 19th. The
survey's margin of error is +/-2.8%. Other factors, such as refusal to be interviewed and
weighting, may introduce additional error that is more difficult to quantify."
The actual report:
I just find this laughable. Considering that 39% of the respondents identify themselves as conservatives while only 14% considered themselves liberals, of course the results are going to come out weighted in favor of the conservative news channel.

The stuff about John Edwards is amazing. Simply amazing that he could be like that, use people, use money for his personal dirty business.

Is it because they're openly right-center?
Then again, the link points to a blog that's considered to be no1 by WSJ that belongs to the same owner of Fox. So I don't know, these days, I don't know if I can really trust any 'polls.'
I check every news outlet though, local to CNN and Fox. I must admit, sometimes cable news provide more details on stuffs compared to local news. I miss cable news.

I must admit, sometimes cable news provide more details on stuffs compared to local news. I miss cable news.

At least Fox is upfront about their views, unlike other news stations! I can't stand Campbell Brown and anyone that thinks CNN is fair and unbiased is truly an absolute moron.

Truly an amazing collection for the modest price. The grainy quality of a few of the older movies leave a little to be desired; but the sheer magnitude of the films alone necessitates an overall rating of "five stars".

Ten Healthy Teas, by: Valerie B. Lull Wednesday, April 04, 2012 3:14:00 PM
by Nicole Marie Sorkin
Start the water boiling because once you begin reading this book you'll want to make a cup of tea to savor along with learning the medicinal qualities of many popular tea varieties. Valerie B. Lull has assembled her list in her terse book Ten Healthy Teas, presenting each with a brief description of flavor, what ailments it is known to countermeasure, and the proper way to mix the blend. Each is accompanied by a quality photograph appropriate for exciting the visionary sense, albeit only a black and white photo. The richness of the cover art suggests a stimulating galley of information within, of which Valerie Lull gently describes each tea as she would to a friend.
Green and Black tea, Lemon, Ginger, Chamomile, Goldenseal, Echinacea and even Cranberry, Peppermint and Raspberry are all brought to simmer in your mind. One tea I found quite different is garlic – known for ages as being a healthy herb for just about any condition of the cardiovascular system, it is also known for antibiotic prevention of gangrene; called "Russian Penicillin" during the two World Wars. Many of the teas have been medically proven to fight cancer and heart disease, lower cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure and improve circulation. One tip Valerie Lull mentions is for those that do not like caffeine in their tea, to discard the first pour, and drink the second cup, as most of the caffeine is gone by then. Detoxification of the liver and overall health improvements are the by-products of having a tasty, sole warming hot drink ~ sounds too good to be true !
I have found much of the material to be known already as I would believe most readers also have gained experiences with teas. Tea has been and still is a very popular drink and most everyone has experienced a wide variety of types in their lives. However, it never hurts to once again refresh your mind, as you refill your cup. I believe this book is an excellent gift to be given to a friend along with an assortment of tea bags bought from either a health food store or online on the Internet. If packaged up and given as a gift, the synergetic effect of stimulating the mind, body and senses would all come together as a memorable, thoughtful present. So now I hear the teapot whistling, and it's time to go have a soothing cup of one of life's little pleasures.

Each child is unique with personality, learning style, interests and talents. The M and Ms are fun, not scary...Math and Music! Reviewing a full year of math is allowed to make the concepts fast and easy...especially if you are thinking of SAT and other tests before college.

The starling bird
Monday, July 15, 2013
Starling is a common name applied to any of several passerine birds. native to the Old World, and belonging to the genus Sturnus and allied genera of the family Sturnidae. and particularly applied to the common European starling. S. vulgaris. The common European starling has been introduced in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. One hundred birds were brought to Central Park, New York, in 1890 and thrived so successfully that countless thousands of the birds are now found in North America, particularly in N.E. United States. The adult male and female attain a length of 8½ inches. The coloring is predominantly iridescent green and purple with creamy-brown spots tipping the feathers. The long, pointed wings and the short tail are dark brownish gray. The bill is yellow. The female is less brightly colored than the male and in winter adults and young display more of the drab grayish-brown coloration. They are omnivorous feeders, and although they are beneficial to farmers in destroying Japanese beetles and other harmful insects, they are often considered pests, particularly in England where they are extremely numerous. They are lively, active birds and often roost in enormous flocks. Starlings nest in holes and cavities in trees, and often appropriate the nests made by other birds, such as bluebirds and woodpeckers, driving away the original occupants. They are also city dwellers and are fond of roosting and nesting on or in buildings. About five pale, bluish-green eggs are usually laid in a clutch, and the young birds are tended by both the male and female. The song of the male is a loud and lively whistle. The bird can be taught to mimic sounds and in some regions is kept as a cage bird. The rose-colored starling, Pastor roseus, which is found in Asia but which sometimes occurs in Europe, is glossy black with a pink abdomen and back.
What is a depressant?
A depressant is a drug that reduces the activity of various body functions. Some depressants such as anesthetics, sedatives, antiepileptics, narcotics analgesics, and some muscle relaxants, slow nervous and muscular activity by acting on the central nervous system. Tranquilizers are depressants that affect only part of the nervous system. They induce relaxation without causing total depression.

Everyone is friendly and truly goes out of their way to make what is often an unpleasant experience good. After purchase they checked in on me, the car, and wanted to see if I needed to pre-schedule my first service. While there, I was introduced to the service people. Great place, great people, low...

Let's get a little adventurous!
... headed back to the hotel and enjoyed a good nights rest. It was the best we have had all tour and we could have just stayed there a little longer. We are now on our way to Paris and it is our last drive together as a group. We only have two nights left and reality is starting to kick in and Contiki/travel depression is starting to kick in. As much as we miss everyone at home and we just want to play and cuddle with molly we are safe our trip is almost ...
First Weeks of Class
... receive and light blessed candles, and then a procession around the church while singing some Marian songs (in French I believe). The candles were kept lit most of the mass, and I'm still not completely sure of the significance of the candles. Second, the 10:30 mass at St George is the high mass, and by high mass I mean the Latin mass. I really enjoyed this because I felt like I got more out of the mass. I know the responses to the Latin Prayers (and ...
Overnight at Perouges
... of Lyon) turned out to be a delightful old walled town tracing its history to the 13th century. There are cobblestone streets with stone and half-timbered houses, a lovely picturesque and historic town.
We strolled around in the afternoon sunshine, sampling the local pastry specialty (called Galettes - They were selling like hot-cakes!). The fortified church that formed part of the city wall was especially interesting - it has very narrow stained ...
Paris/Lyon - Day 3
We awoke early (5:30) to begin our day trip to see Courtney's fried Cecile in Lyon, France's second largest city. Rather than our traditional oatmeal breakfast, we elected to go with a baguette and speculoos, which is a delicious peanut butter substitute which essentially tastes like blended graham crackers. We tip our hat to Courtney's cousin Kyle for the suggestion. We had no idea how the train to Lyon would work so we hustled to the train station ...
One More Forgetttable Meal in Lyon
... Then they reopen around happy hour but just for drinks! If you want an evening meal, you need to wait till at least 7 pm. Not quite Spanish mealtime, but when trying to fit in the evening meal during a train change between 4 and 6 pm it was awkward.
So I made do, and eventually got back to my hotel in Nimes, having had another eminently forgettable meal in Lyon. I'm sure there are good places to eat in Lyon. I just didn't find any.

19. Remorse
"Dadi'"Maan called softly when silence prevailed once Nakul escorted the doctor from the room. The face that turned towards him was etched in pain and anxiety. He knew she wanted to rant at him but it was the doctor's advice of no stress that spared him. He still couldn't fathom what had come over him' one moment he was looking at Geet over Dadi's head when Dadi had brushed away the hand he had extended for support' then the excruciating pain had flashed in his head as if the torment in her eyes slashed at him and the world had gone blank. He couldn't comprehend that any more than he could fathom the blinding rage that had blinded him to everything but the need to lash out at her for calling herself a w***e. But that did not excuse his behaviour'
"I'm sorry Dadi'" he reached out to touch her. But his hands dropped when she moved away in the pretext of pouring a glass of water.
"I am so ' so disappointed in you Maan." Her eyes burned with supressed rage. "I am not the one whom you should be apologising to. "
"I know Dadi and I will too. But I know I hurt you too" his voice was thick with remorse. "I don't know what came over me'."
"Whatever it is ' this is no way to behave," her voice spoke of her distress. "Your action speaks of my failure. Yes! I am to be blamed for failing in your upbringing. I failed to instil the need to treat your wife with respect."
"Dadi please don't blame yourself' the fault is entirely mine. I know what I did is wrong and there is no justification for it. I will apologize to Geet and will take whatever punishment I deserve."
"What has happened to you, Maan? You had stood against the world to be stand by her, there was no extend to which you would go to bring a smile on her face," she shook her head in bewilderment. "Now you have raised your hand on her, the same Geet whose tears would depress you."
"When you say Geet was my life.. I ' I feel I am missing out" he caught her hand in his, holding on' "Why can't I remember Dadi? I want to. I want to remember so I can understand. But I don't know why!... then when she comes before me with her eyes full of expectations, I '. I ' go on defensive.. I feel as if I am found wanting' i want to lash out and she is there conveniently'." He bend his head and clutched his hair. "I want to remember' I need to correct this'"
Dadi was concerned by Maan's outburst and placed a calming hand on his shoulder. "Now, now' don't stress yourself, it will come back to you, I am sure ' I just hope'" she shook her head dreading how this was tearing apart the children she loved so dearly. " But for now take rest."
"I will send her in' you can apologize." She gave him a stern look before continuing, " But 5 minutes. I don't want her upset further."
As moments passed he became restless.. he just needed to get this over with.. he was not someone who made mistakes often and he lived by his rule' but with Geet he found himself apologising every now and then.. what was it between them that they were at odds almost always? No decision he made regarding her seemed right and he reacted insensibly' violently'. Just the opposite of how he was told he used to react'
He looked at the snap placed near her bedside, the one he avoided looking at because it puzzled him. He looked so different in that' so happy o utterly relaxed and content as if he held the world within his arms' the pride in his eyes as he looked at the woman in his arms. his head was angled to listen her whispered words. As if pulled by an unseen thread he walked towards it and took the framed picture in his hand'.
Maan's eyes shifted to the woman'her face aglow with joy' so comfortably leaning onto him' her head tilted back a little to gauze the reaction of her comment'her eyes brimming with mischief and something so bright'
"How are you feeling now Maan?" He turned to see her standing a couple of steps away from him. Her voice was almost as expressionless as her face. But in her eyes flickered to the photo he held in his hands, there was a depth of emotions' pain, hopelessness'
Remorse sliced thru him as he saw the redness of her cheek' he could almost make out the finger marks even at this distance which explained her absence when the doctor was there. As if tuned into his thoughts she turned away slightly.
"I'm sorry Geet'"he walked towards her.
"It doesn't matter' it is not like I am new to this." She gestured to her cheek, her voice was blank. Then closed her eyes to hold back the anguish as her voice lowered to an almost inaudible whisper, "just new from you'"
A tear slipped past the confines of the closed lid.
"Geet'" his voice was an agonised whisper. "Please forgive me'"
At the whispery touch of his thumb she opened her eyes to see those eyes dark with misery and contrition.
"It is okay' it doesn't hurt," she consoled. She bent her head so that her hair fell as curtain hiding her injured cheek. But he lifted them away with soft touch.
His drew in a deep agonised breath on seeing the angry marks of his fingers on her soft creamy cheeks. Turning away he slammed his hand against the cot wanting to punish himself for his crime.
"Maan, no'" Geet held his hand before he could cause injury to himself.
"Why?" he asked harshly, questioning not just her but his own actions.. ..the man he had turned into. He had never raised his hand on a woman. "Why?...why? " his voice hoarse with the ache in his throat.
"shh' don't stress yourself' let go'" she placed his hand on her cheek and repeated "It doesn't hurt."
Then cupped the side of his face with her free hand, "You hurt me more when you hurt yourself." Her eyes shimmering with unshed tears, she turned her face slightly to touch her lips to his hand, giving him the forgiveness he craved.
She was holding his palm between hers when Dadi knocked and entered.
"I hope you have had your say Maan '" she looked at him. " now go to bed, " she paused and fixed him with another of her stern look giving no room for argument, "' Geet will be sleeping in my room."
The next day everyone tried hard to behave normal'. but he could neither forget nor forgive himself' he felt suffocated acting as if nothing happened .. . with the long silences, the careful avoidance of eyes. Dadi made sure that he was not alone with Geet , and her distrust rankled even when he could understand her sentiments' Geet was no less to her than what he was to her. Still her distrust and the sadness in her eyes added to his shame. He needed to escape'. The need for solitude tormented' some personal place where he could be himself. So he asked his belongings to be shifted to the outhouse and Dadi's accepted as if she agreed that was for the best.
"Dadi, why is Maan's things being shifted to the outhouse?" Geet asked.
"He will be staying there for a couple of weeks. " Dadi replied, raising her eyes from the book she was reading.
"But why?"
Dadi placed her book down with a sigh, knowing she was in for an argument.
"He wishes to be on his own for some time and I thought it is a good decision. No one misbehaves with my daughter and gets away with it!"
"Dadi' he wouldn't have reacted so if he was not provoked' I ' I said something.."
"Stop making excuses for him Geet. What he did was wrong, against principles. You may forgive him because you love him'.." she took Geet's hand in hers. "I can't, because I love him too. It is my duty to correct when he makes mistake and raising his hand was way beyond a mistake. 'Distance however small, will teach him to value relations and not to take them for granted."
"Then let me stay in the outhouse' it is every bahu's right to visit her mayka when she is angry with her husband'. And the outhouse was my mayka."
"That was before." Dadi patted her cheek. "I am your Dadi now."
"And what about Maan? Will you be able to turn away from him?"
"IF I need to' and he is still within my vision."
"No Dadi' he needs someone with him now. What if he gets another dizzy attack? Do you think we will know about it unless he is staying with you? You know his independent streak ' he will never admit to weakness or vulnerability."
Dadi sighed saddened at the irony of fate' Geet understood Maan so well ..they were made for each other and her ziddi grandson couldn't accept that.
"I am in perfect health and if you can always see me thru the cameras installed."
"But beti'"
"No buts.. you know this is a better idea. And you can't take my right to stay in my mayka' even the most evil saas in soaps let their bahu's visit her mayka once in a while!"
"Why can't my fool of grandson value the precious gift he has?" adadi lamented after kissing Geet's forehead in agreement.
"Everything will work out Dadi'" Geet rested her head on Dadi's shoulder feeling the tears clog her throat. If nothing else it will prepare me for what is to come'.. a live without your support.
He had bowed down to Dadi's decision to let Geet stay in the outhouse because he did not wish to antagonize her further. Then there was always a chance to review the situation in a couple of days. For now he didn't wish to widen the rift.
He found that distance didn't diminish his fascination for her. Why else would his eyes go back to her movements in the outhouse, after the cursory glance to make sure she was okay? What made her depressed today, he wondered taking in her drooping shoulders as she stood by the window. He remembered her odd habit of talking to herself when she was alone' and put on the sound.
The darkness of the night added to the loneliness' there was no stars to keep her company tonight' she felt as if she was back to being the old Geet ,lonely desperate ' she had forgotten what it was like to be alone' the knowledge that her family was just a call away didn't relieve the desperation that came with the solitude' may be it was the hopelessness that her life was slipping away from her'. She felt so incomplete'
May be it was the significance of the day' a year had passed since Maan had defended her against the world and claimed her as his'filling her maang with his blood'. Then he had brought her back with him' held her in his arms thru the night' she had slept peacefully listening to the steady beat of his heart, feeling secure in the strength of his arms .. believing that, come what may his love and trust would strengthen her to win her battles' with him at her side she would never be desolate again'
Her throat burned with agony and she brushed
the wetness off her cheeks' she wouldn't cry 'she had promised herself' . but
the supressed tears called for release' suffocating her' still she didn't wish
to be thought weak even by herself'
do play he song for maximum impact... this is one of the few i always cry along
She selected the song she wanted ' and tried to distract herself with the soulful voice of the singer'. Singing along' drowning herself in the emotions the lyrics evoked' tears slipping past her closed eyelids'.
kyaa ahad-e-wafaa hote hain
Log milate hai, judaa hote hain
Kab bichhad jaaye, humasafar hee to hain
Kab badal jaaye, yek najar hee to hain
Jana-o-dil jis pe, fidaa hote hain
Baat nikalee thee, is jamaane kee
Jis ko aadat hai, bhool jaane kee
Aap kyo hum se, khafaa hote hain
Jab rulaa lete hai, jee bhar ke hume
Jab sataa lete hai, jee bhar ke hume
Tab kahee khoosh wo, jaraa hote hain
so there goes the first part of maan's remorse ... still a long way to go, i know but the song shud wud be the stimulus, don't u think? i so wanted to give updates for the other stories too ... like a triple sundae but they are not ready and it's a long weekend...
