Did you change your diet during pregnancy?
I was just reading this article on organic foods during pregnancy, and it made me wonder if other mums changed their diet during pregnancy. The article mentions a study that found organic foods have a higher nutritional content than conventional produce. I admit, during my first pregnancy, I was not aware of the benefits of organic produce. I also was unaware of the dangers of conventional foods, such as meats that come from cattle that have been given hormone injections. Although hormone injections have been said to be safe, it still makes me wonder if there are certain additives in conventional foods that could be harmful. Over the last few years, I have learned more about the benefits of switching to organic foods, which has made me reconsider some of the choices I make when I cook food for my family. I have not switched to a completely organic diet, but I am learning more about it, which makes me curious if other mums only use organic foods. The article I mentioned also has some great recipes in it, which I may give a try.

Oh yes I had to my husband was and is on my case about that. I am having another boy in March and if I eat out of line haha I am in trouble. He let's me eat certain things sometimes, but I am a healthy eater anyway, but there are times when I want to have certain things that I try not to have because I am pregnant. He does understand the cravings and stuff like that so I am good at times. I went back to a certain drink because soda is bad for the baby, but it is my biggest craving and addiction.
No, no organic foods at this moment I kinda get sick from it actually.

Fresh food
My sense of taste and smell have really dictated what I have been able to eat. I have the smelling ability of a super hero and my taste buds are going pyscho (I brush my teeth a few times a day to get rid of taste). I have stuck to fresh fruit and vegies (not organic). The thought of eating take away, strong food smells and unpleasant taste in my mouth are making me sick at the moment, can hardly wait till this morning sickness thing goes away as it is really getting me down. The upside of this weird behaviour is that I am eating very well (not much difference from normal diet) and falling for bad food cravings.
I also have a bit of addiction for fruit ice blocks - seems to quench my thirst and is refreshing.

Hi Chica - Taste and smell does can alter dramatically in pregnancy. Foods or drinks that once were favourites cannot be tolerated. The smell of cooking food can be a real turn off for some women. It does feel a whole lot better once the morning sickness phase passes (which for most women is around 13 to 14 weeks).

Jessica ~ I did change my diet and tried to stay away from processed foods and was just more conscious about what I was putting into my body. I didn't eat purely organic. However, once my boys were able to eat solids I only fed them organic items and made all of their baby food. We don't eat strictly organic but do buy certain foods like bananas that are.
Chica ~ I totally remember feeling like I had a super sniffer too Certain foods I loved, all of a sudden smelled repulsive. I remember a co-worker of mine wore perfume that I usually found pleasant enough but when I was pregnant it smelled like she bathed in it and I would get a headache. I found it quite strange at the time but later learned that it is quite common as Jane mentioned. It sounds like you are eating well despite your morning sickness. I hope it goes away for you soon! How far along are you?

With each of my children I've made less radical changes to my diet, but I think my everyday non-pregnant life has improved quite a bit since I got pregnant the first time.
In general, I eat more fresh foods, organic when available and I avoid caffeine and sugar. I also greatly increase my intake of both water and health protein.
Chica- My sense of smell has always been incredibly strong during pregnancy. I was fortunate to not have morning sickness, but I definitely had the smell/taste changes.

With its massive Y-shaped columns and clever use of concrete and glass, the Central Terminal Building (CTB) at OR Tambo International Airport is both striking and devoid of the heavy, boxed-in feeling that so many high traffic airports share. The CTB not only forms the central link between the international and domestic terminals, but also links the multi-storey parking garage and new Gautrain Railway Station at OR Tambo International Airport. Its completion sets a new benchmark for design efficacy, functional flexibility and construction quality in that it is purposefully designed yet still manages to impress those who enter its doors with breathtakingly clean lines and purposefully robust surfaces.
The completion of the new CTB was vital for the success of the 2010 FIFA World Cup as the airport served as the key point of entry to and from South Africa, forming a literal 'gateway to Africa' for all tourists.
Aurecon's involvement in the project comprised the civil and structural engineering which included the implementation of a complex glass and aluminium facade system which is pivotal to the CTB's visual appeal. In addition, Aurecon also provided wet services and mechanical engineering, including HVAC.
This project illustrates the expertise that enhances Aurecon's reputation for providing quality technical engineering services for large, complex projects. The CTB required that the construction of the project be completed in a way that interruption of existing operations was minimised. This involved careful sequencing and collaboration with professional team, including the client and the contractor.
Aurecon has won a number of awards for this project. These include:

WATCH: Dolly Parton talks romance on 'Tonight Show'
Listen to Dolly Parton on iHeartRadio
Dolly Parton is celebrating her 48th wedding anniversary this month. The country music icon told Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday's "Tonight Show" that the love between her and her husband has only deepened over the years, and she shared one of the tricks they use to keep the romance alive.
Parton also joked that after all the "nips and tucks" she's had, her husband swears he's been with three wives. But the singer eventually brought the conversation back to music. She reminisced about singing into a tin can on her front porch in Tennessee when she was young, and then closed the show with a performance of her new single, "Home."
Parton's 42nd album Blue Smoke is in stores now.

Catholic Bishops: Vote With Us or Else
"The Roman Catholic Church remains enemy number one of civil liberties in our country," contends Foundation president Anne Gaylor, in the wake of a stepped-up church assault against social reforms and the Catholic politicians who support them. Gaylor said the church's political activity calls into question its tax-exempt status. At their annual conference in Dallas in November, the American Catholic bishops issued aggressive statements against contraception, same-sex unions and abortion. The US Conference of Catholic Bishops is still formulating how it intends to punish Catholic politicians who vote against Catholic doctrine. An example of the Church's increasingly overt power play occurred in Wisconsin, where the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel ran an exposŽ in early December revealing an attempt at "spiritual extortion." Bishop Raymond L. Burke of La Crosse, who was just promoted by the pope to become the Archbishop of St. Louis, sent warning letters earlier this year to selected public officials. At least two Catholic state legislators and one member of Congress were warned that they are endangering their "spiritual well-being" by not voting the church line on issues such as abortion. Burke said if they continue to contradict church teachings, "I would simply have to ask them not to present themselves to receive the sacraments because they would not be Catholics in good standing." Burke told them that as Catholics they may not support "anti-life" legislation (such as support of abortion and assisted suicide). Wis. State Sen. Julie Lassa, D-Stevens Point, received one of the lengthy epistles, which documented how several of her recent votes violate church policy. For instance, Lassa voted against an onerous bill that would have permitted healthcare professionals to refuse medical and pharmaceutical treatment based on religious dogma. "As a faithful member of the Catholic Church, you have an obligation to fulfill the duties of your office . . . with regard to the moral law. You have failed to restrict the evil of abortion when the opportunity presented itself," Burke chastised Lassa. Burke cited a document, "Living the Gospel of Life: A Challenge to American Catholics," adopted by the US Conference of Catholic Bishops. This document charged bishops with a duty to "enlighten the consciences of political leaders to the protection of life, especially political leaders who are Catholics." The document maintains that "those who are directly involved in lawmaking bodies have a grave and clear obligation to oppose any law that attacks human life." Burke ordered Lassa to study the 26-page document, and then to schedule a meeting with him to discuss it. "I call upon you to consider the consequences for your own spiritual well-being, as well as the scandal you risk by leading others into serious sin," Burke wrote. Undaunted, Lassa told the Journal-Sentinel: "I'm concerned that the bishop would pressure legislators to vote according to the dictates of the church instead of the wishes of their constituents because that is not consistent with our Democratic ideals. When I was elected, I swore an oath to uphold the Constitution, and that means I have to represent all the people of all faiths in my district." Also receiving a letter of religious threat was conservative Wis. Rep. DuWayne Johnsrud, R-Eastman, who is strongly antiabortion but is considered religiously-incorrect on birth control. Johnsrud responded: "I didn't think I was down here representing the Catholic Church. Sorry, they can lump it or like it, I don't care." The overt church attempt to dictate voting by Catholic politicians recalls the concerns raised in 1960 when John F. Kennedy became the first Roman Catholic US president. As a candidate, Kennedy took pains to allay fears that he would act as a Vatican puppet. In a historic speech to Houston ministers on Sept. 12, 1960, Kennedy delivered his famous lines of assurance: "I believe in an America that is officially neither Catholic, Protestant nor Jewish--where no public official either requests or accepts instructions on public policy from the pope, the National Council of Churches or any other ecclesiastical source. . ." Upping the ante is the revelation that a conservative Roman Catholic organization based in Virginia is targeting Wisconsin's pro-choice Catholic governor, Jim Doyle, and dozens of other Catholic politicians around the country. The American Life League's "Crusade for the Defense of Our Catholic Church" targets 71 members of Congress and 340 Catholic state politicians. Previous attempts to sanction Catholic politicians include the January action by Sacramento Bishop William K. Weigand, who stirred controversy for telling former Gov. Gray Davis of California and other pro-choice Catholic politicians to abstain from receiving communion. In a 1989 case involving then-Bishop Leo T. Maher of San Diego, Calif. state Sen. Lucy Killea, D-San Diego, was banned from receiving communion because she is pro-choice. Bishop Francis Quinn of San Francisco overruled the action. In 1996, a Nebraska bishop declared that any Catholic in his diocese who joined groups such as Planned Parenthood would be automatically excommunicated. That year Bishop Rene Facida of Corpus Christi also excommunicated two abortion clinic workers and a doctor who performs abortions. Roman Catholicism dominates the 108th U.S. Congress, with 150 of the members claiming to belong to that denomination. Three Catholics are running for president: Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich, Ohio; Sen. John Kerry, Mass.; and Wesley Clark. The U.S. bishops, following their annual meeting in November, announced a new task force will produce guidelines on dealing with "recalcitrant politicians." Washington Cardinal Theodore E. McCarrick will head the taskforce, itself a response to a 17-page "doctrinal note" issued by the Vatican in January telling Catholics in politics how to behave. * * * The November decision by the Massachusetts State Supreme Court ordering the legislature to rewrite marriage laws to provide benefits for gay couples by mid-May was denounced by Massachusetts' bishops. The bishops openly urged parishioners "to contact the governor and their state legislators to urge them to find a way to give our citizens more time to deal with this issue." Although career celibates themselves, several prominent Massachusetts bishops lamented that the ruling promotes "divisions in society by villainizing as bigotry the legitimate defense of thousands of years of tradition." Religious right groups are vowing to turn "gay marriage" into the number one election issue next year. The Vatican issued a July 31 document declaring a global campaign against gay marriages and ordering Catholic politicians to vote in lockstep against such legislation. Catholic politicians were instructed that they are "obliged" to oppose "the legal recognition of homosexual unions," and that a Catholic politician has "a moral duty to express his opposition clearly and publicly and to vote against it. To vote in favor of a law so harmful to the common good is gravely immoral." * * * The Roman Catholic bishops are also vigorously fighting access to contraception. They announced in November they will link campaigns against it with abortion. The Bishops' "Committee for Pro-Life Activities" will issue a booklet on why "natural family planning" is the only acceptable alternative. The church is condemning contraceptive use not only by Catholics, who largely ignore the ban, but is fighting to limit everyone's access, and their own obligation as employers to offer insurance coverage of contraception. In a decision announced on Dec. 2, a New York court rejected a claim by Roman Catholic groups seeking to be exempted from a new state law requiring employers to offer insurance coverage for contraception. The court maintained the law's clear "secular purpose" of promoting women's health and halting sex discrimination. The New York State Catholic Conference vowed to appeal. The California State Supreme Court will be ruling soon on a lawsuit by the Catholic Charities of Sacramento, also seeking to be exempted from a similar California law enacted in 2000. More than 100,000 employees at 77 church-affiliated hospitals in California and New York have rights at stake. Churches themselves are exempt from providing contraceptive coverage for employees who work inside parishes and houses of worship in New York and California. Catholic Charities had a $76 million budget in California alone, and receives public funding. "Mother Teresa would be forced to offer contraceptives," argued California Catholic Conference spokeswoman Carol Hogan. Catholic Charities of Sacramento attorney called "artificial" contraception "sinful." "To ignore the health benefits of contraception is to say that the alternative of 12 to 15 pregnancies during a woman's lifetime is medically acceptable," said Catherine Hanson, an attorney for the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists, which favors the coverage. According to the New York Times, the 20 states requiring private-sector insurance coverage for prescription contraceptives include: Arizona, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Georgia, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island, Texas, Vermont and Washington.

EL PASO, Texas - USC wide receiver Robert Woods is expected to announce immediately after the Sun Bowl on Monday that he will forego his senior season and enter the NFL draft, according to sources.
Woods said earlier this week he made his decision but would not announce it until after USC plays Georgia Tech in the Sun Bowl. USC did not allow him to speak to the media Saturday.
Woods (Serra High) is USC's all-time leading receiver with 249 receptions in three seasons and considered a first- or second-round draft pick.
Cornerback Nickell Robey said he remains undecided about his future.
"I really don't know yet," Robey said.
Lee hurt
Wide receiver Marqise Lee injured his knee while making a quick cut during practice and did not return. He was examined by trainers and USC coach Lane Kiffin said he was "hopeful" Lee would play.
"We'll have to keep checking him out," Kiffin said.
Lee walked to the team bus without looking like he was in pain and told an onlooker he was "good."
If Lee can't start, he would be replaced by freshman Nelson Agholor.
Play calling still an issue
With Kiffin criticized for trying to call plays and be the head coach during games, reporters continued to ask if he will relinquish some duties to offensive coordinator Kennedy Polamalu.
"A lot of coaches that call plays that I've been around, it's very difficult to give up," Polamalu said. "We have not discussed play calling. We've just discussed how to use the strength of the staff."
"As the head coach, he is the pulse of the team. So we're going to do what he wants."
Kiffin remained vague Saturday even though he has spent more time in bowl practices watching the defense and special teams.
"We'll look at all that stuff after (the season)," he said.
Fond farewell?
Kiffin said he did not really think about having only a couple of more days coaching with his father, defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin, who will try to get an NFL job next season.
"It's not like we've been together for 15 years," Lane Kiffin said. "I haven't thought about it."
Monte Kiffin said Saturday he had "fun" coaching at USC.
"Hopefully I get back to the NFL," he said.
The Kiffins disagreed with each other about whether Georgia Tech is similar in offensive scheme to Oregon.
"It's like playing Oregon," Lane Kiffin said.
When Monte Kiffin was asked if Georgia Tech was similar to Oregon, he said "not really."
Injury report
Tailback Curtis McNeal did not practice for the second straight day with an undisclosed injury.
"We won't put his health at risk if there's an issue," Polamalu said.
Wide receiver George Farmer returned after missing two days. There were fears Farmer suffered a possible concussion Wednesday.
No dinner conflict
Both teams ate at a steakhouse Saturday night but the Sun Bowl staggered the meals so USC would eat 30 minutes later than Georgia Tech. That eliminated any issue of whether the teams were expected to eat together, like the first night when Georgia Tech left a dinner before USC arrived.

By Barbara Barton
Published December 2010
Christmas in the 1800s was wonderful, but people celebrated somewhat differently than we do now. Presents were usually handmade and the type of food served depended on what could be raised or killed. The holiday season at Fort Concho in 1873 was one example. Forrestine Cooper wrote about that Christmas in his book, "Child of the Fighting Tenth."
Although most officer families at the fort usually trimmed a Christmas tree, that particular year was different. So many of the husbands were away from the fort doing scout duty, that no one had a tree. Col. Merritt and his wife felt sorry for the children who would miss having a tree, so they decided to decorate one in the commanding officer's home. So each child would have a gift, the colonel told each parent to bring to the home gifts so they could be distributed at the party also.
Forrestine Cooper, also called Birdie, was a 6-year old girl living at Fort Concho during the fall of 1873. She liked to walk around the area near the fort with Col. Merritt, but she liked even better to ride her horse, Dobbin. Birdie's father was Charles L. Cooper, one of the men stationed with the 10th Cavalry at Fort Concho. He seemed to give Birdie free rein to go on little excursions some miles from the fort. Some people said Birdie was downright mischievous, impudent and unrestrained. We'd call her spoiled, I guess.
One day Birdie came dashing in from her horseback ride and made a big entrance into her mother's front room. At the time, her mother had a guest, Mrs. Gasman, who was also a soldier's wife. But Birdie was most interested in what lay in Mrs. Gasman's lap. The older woman had a beautiful doll with china head, legs and arms. Mrs. Gasman was busy making a white Swiss dress for the doll that had ruffles edged with pink ribbon.
Immediately, Birdie rushed to the doll and asked Mrs. Gasman if it was for her. The woman told her no. Being very upset, Birdie told the lady that the doll wasn't pretty anyway. Birdie said it had three eyebrows. Mrs. Gusman tried to explain that the doll had eyebrows, eyes and eyelashes, but Birdie was very sad and didn't want to hear her explanation. The doll disappeared, and Birdie didn't see it until the day of the Christmas party. When she came into the Merritt's home, the doll was hanging where everybody could see it. With envy, Birdie wondered who would get the fine china doll. Then Col. Merritt came forward dressed as Santa and began to pass out the gifts. When he picked up the doll, he said, "For Birdie Cooper." Everyone laughed and 6-year-old Birdie was the happiest girl alive to have a three-eyebrowed doll.
The soldiers had several ways they celebrated the holiday season. Some troopers shot off their rifles to get into the Christmas spirit, making a large volley. Sounding a booming shot may have been their version of popping firecrackers. Food was also an important part of the early-day Christmases. The list of dishes served at Fort Ringgold in 1886 sounds like the menu in a fancy restaurant. This fort was in the southern tip of Texas, and it survived for nearly 100 years. Its buildings are now transformed into an elementary school in the town of Rio Grand City.
Many Christmas dinners at Texas forts included a dance that lasted far into the night.
Soldiers attending a Christmas dinner at Fort Ringgold in 1886 recorded the various foods they enjoyed. The feast began with tomato soup and oysters. The main courses included roasted pork, venison with mayonnaise sauce, and chicken. Vegetables included cabbage, mashed potatoes, French peas, turnips, corn and tomatoes. Desserts sounded great as they included jelly cake, oranges, nuts, apple pie and mince pie along with lemon pie. On top of all this good cheer, each man was given a quart bottle of beer. These were presented to the troops by their saddler, James Patterson.
Although soldiers at Fort Ringgold enjoyed balmy days during December, recruits stationed at Fort Belknap near the upper Brazos River and modern-day Newcastle, received the full-force of winter's chilling breezes. During December of 1856, residents of Fort Belknap felt the full force of winter's rain and ice because they were situated on unprotected high ground. No trees or fences protected them from the cold north wind. While trying to get in the Christmas spirit in 1856, a few young soldiers made eggnog from frozen eggs. Even though they may have been under the influence of spirits, their commander said they performed the ceremony of the guard quite well the next day. Two days after Christmas, ice froze 6 inches thick and horses on picket lines froze to death. Wintertime on the high plains was tough.
Winter weather in Texas was always uncertain, according to Lydia Spencer Lane, wife of Lieutenant William B. Lane who was stationed at Fort Clark. Their home was about 30 miles southeast of present-day Del Rio. On Christmas Eve of 1864, Lydia, her small baby and her husband left Fort Clark traveling in a wagon driven by a man named Biles. They planned to spend the holidays in San Antonio. On their departure, the weather was so nice that Biles didn't even bring a coat. However, a short time into the trip a cold norther blew in. Biles had already started his holiday celebration by imbibing heavily in the spirits. He passed out, so William had to sit beside him and drive the wagon team. Biles kept falling over, so William cracked him with a whip from time to time to rouse him and keep him from freezing to death.
Lydia laid her baby on her lap and covered her with layers of blankets. First she worried because the little one wasn't warm enough. Then she worried that she would be smothered with so much cover. Miraculously, they made it to their destination with all bodies alive.
Back in the 1880s the best holidays at the forts seemed to center around families and friends getting together to visit, eat and dance, if possible.

Being active after your heart attackHeart attack - activity
You had a heart attack and were in the hospital. You may have had angioplasty and a stent placed in an artery to open a blocked artery in your heart.
What to Expect at Home
While you were in the hospital, you should have learned:
- How to take your pulse
- How to recognize your angina symptoms and what to do when they happen.
- How to care for yourself at home after a heart attack
Your doctor may recommend a cardiac rehabilitation program to you. This program will help you learn what foods to eat and exercises to do to stay healthy. Eating well and exercising will help you start feeling healthy again.
Getting Started with Your Exercise
Before starting to exercise, your doctor may have you do an exercise test and should give you exercise recommendations an exercise plan. This may happen before you leave the hospital or soon afterward. Do not change your exercise plan before talking with your doctor or nurse first.
Take it easy at first:
- Walking is the best activity when you start exercising.
- Walk on flat ground for a few weeks at first.
- You can try bike riding after a few weeks. Walk your bike up any hills, or ride a stationary bike in an easy gear.
- If it is windy, walk or bike with the breeze behind you.
- Do not walk outside if it is very cold or very hot. Go to a shopping mall and do your walking inside.
Slowly increase how long you exercise at any 1 time. If you are up to it, repeat the activity 2 or 3 times during the day. You may want to try this very easy exercise schedule (but ask your doctor first):
- Week 1: about 5 minutes at a time
- Week 2: about 10 minutes at a time
- Week 3: about 15 minutes at a time
- Week 4: about 20 minutes at a time
- Week 5: about 25 minutes at a time
- Week 6: about 30 minutes at a time
After 6 weeks, you may be able to start swimming, but stay out of very cold or very hot water. You can also begin playing golf. Start easily with just hitting balls. Add to your golfing slowly, playing just a few holes at a time. Avoid golfing in very hot or cold weather.
Household Activities
You can do some things around the house to stay active, but always ask your doctor or nurse first. Avoid a lot of activity on days that are very hot or cold.
You may be able to cook light meals by the end of your first week. You can wash dishes or set the table if you feel up to it.
By the end of the second week you may start doing very light housework, such as making your bed. Go slowly.
After 4 weeks, you may be able to:
- Iron -- start with only 5 or 10 minutes at a time
- Shop, but do not carry heavy bags or walk too far
- Do short periods of light yard work
By 6 weeks, your doctor may allow you to do more activities, such as heavier housework and exercise, but be careful.
- Try not to lift or carry anything that is heavy, such as a vacuum cleaner or a pail of water.
- If any activities cause chest pain, shortness of breath, or any of the symptoms that you had before or during your heart attack, stop doing them right away. Tell your doctor or nurse.
When to Call the Doctor
Call your doctor if you feel:
- Pain, pressure, tightness, or heaviness in the chest, arm, neck, or jaw
- Shortness of breath
- Gas pains or indigestion
- Numbness in your arms
- Sweaty, or if you lose color
- Lightheaded
Also call your doctor if you have angina and it:
- Becomes stronger
- Occurs more often
- Lasts longer
- Occurs when you are not active
- If drugs no longer help ease your angina symptoms as well as they did
These changes may mean your heart disease is getting worse.

Family: Nelson Mandela's Health Is "Perilous"
(Pretoria, South Africa) -- An affidavit filed by family members says "Nelson Mandela's health is perilous." The document dated last month says the former South African president is assisted in breathing by a life support machine, and "the anticipation of his impending death is based on real and substantial grounds." The African newspaper "Mail & Guardian" says the affidavit was filed in court by Mandela family members who are in a legal battle with other relatives over where the 94-year-old anti-apartheid revolutionary will be buried. Mandela remains in a Pretoria hospital where he's being treated for an ongoing lung infection.

Pre-Made Texsolv Heddles
Specially made for us in Sweden from the same texsolv used to make all non-metal heddles for floor looms, these one-eye Mirrix heddles come in a roll of 100. They are strong (they should last as long as you and your loom do), easy to use and are good at almost any sett on the loom because they are thin. For bead weaving past 18 dents per inch we recommend making your own thinner heddles. These are the only pre-made heddles you can buy that work on the Mirrix Loom if you choose not to make your own.
Note: Yes, they are reusable and very long-lasting!

Clip this add-on beam to the back of the bottom beam of your loom with the included C-Clamps and you increase the distance between the front and back warps by an inch and a half, providing a total of two and a half inches of space between the two layers of warp. This is perfect for those who weave wide bead pieces using the traditional method because you can easily get your hand behind the warp to hold the beads in place. It also works for tapestry weavers who want more space between the front and back warps.
*Note: The bottom beam does not increase the size of the shed, only the space between the two layers of warp.
Six skeins of 12 yards of the most beautiful hand-painted silk you've ever seen. We pick the colors since no two skeins we paint are alike. But each selection covers a full range of possibilities since each skein is a combination of colors.
Use this for your affinity bracelets, tapestry/bead cuff bracelets or for tapestry weaving. This silk yarn is made of 3 plies of 35 Mulberry silk filaments (20-22 denier each) for a total of 105 silk filaments. Lots of natural shine, smoothness, evenness and strength.
The 38" Zeus Loom is Mirrix's largest loom and is perfect for large tapestries, rugs or bead weavings. It was designed to be large enough to accommodate a small traditionally sized rug. While able to make a piece 35" x 61", it can easily be moved from room to room or driven to a workshop while providing a weaving space usually reserved for large, heavy, immobile floor looms. Unlike his larger cousins, the Zeus Loom can easily be stored when not in use because of his slim Mirrix physique. Warping the entire width of the loom will take no more than an hour once you've nailed the process down. He also provides better tension than most wooden floor looms, having the strength of double aluminum bottom and top beams, and the shedding device is easy and efficient to operate.
The Mirrix loom extenders are ideal for people who want to weave belts, guitar straps and longer, thin pieces without having to purchase one of the large looms. Included are two lengths of threaded rod, a coupling device to attach it to the threaded rod side bars of the loom, and feet extenders to give your loom its original stability.
There are two sizes of loom extenders. One size is for the 12 and 16 inch looms and gives an additional two feet of weaving length. The other size is for the 22 inch loom and gives an additional 20 inches of weaving length (this is because more length would make the loom unstable).
An extra shedding device for your Mirrix Loom for those of you who didn't buy one originally (For an 8" or 12" loom) or for those who want a second shedding device for your larger loom. Adding a second shedding device to your Mirrix will allow you to use techniques in your tapestry weaving such as twill weave, basket weave and tabby weave. These fancy and fun techniques will take your tapestry weaving to the next level.
You will receive the shedding device, a set of clips (if you need them), a handle, and an Allen wrench.
Separate the top and the bottom parts of the loom (just slide the top part off). Older looms will have a bushing in the bottom of the copper tube with a flange at the bottom. Using a pair of flat nose pliers remove the bushing. Newer looms will have a bushing without a flange, so they do not need to be removed because the clips can slide off the copper tubes without doing so. In either case, slide off the old clips if you are replacing them and/or slide new clips onto the copper bars. Replace the bushing if it was removed. Put the two halves of the loom back together.
The No Warp-Ends Kit eliminates the need to weave-in warp ends when bead weaving. It can only be used without the shedding device. It is perfect for using with any kind of warp material including wire. Set up with the No Warp-Ends Kit is very easy and once you have it in place, you can weave as many pieces as you want (as long as they are the same size) using the same set up. Read more here.
This kit allows you to put on a shorter warp. In so doing you will reduce warp waste. Because it also eliminates having a layer of warp on both the front and back of the loom, it allows you to better position your hand for weaving wider pieces with the traditional method of bead weaving. It is also great for those of you who weave tapestry from the back and want to have a better view of the front of your piece from the back of the loom.
The package includes an extra warping bar, Texsolv cord and special pegs to attach the Texsolv cord to the warping bars. You don't have to warp your Mirrix this way for weaving beads, but it's a nice alternative and adds yet another dimension to ways you can use the Mirrix loom to fit your special weaving needs.
3 yards of Texsolv cord for the 8" - 22" Looms 5 yards of Texsolv cord for the 28" - 38" Looms

It was fifteen years ago today that The Prince of Egypt opened in theatres across North America. To mark the occasion, here are twelve things you may or may not know about the movie. (I would have come up with fifteen things, but didn't have quite enough time.)
1. It came very close to being the first DreamWorks cartoon. It may seem hard to believe now, given that the DreamWorks brand has become associated with adolescent wise-ass humour and lots of pop-culture references, but when Jeffrey Katzenberg left Disney and co-founded the DreamWorks studio with Steven Spielberg and David Geffen in 1994, he aspired to epic greatness. After Katzenberg pitched the idea that animated films could take place on a grand scale like Lawrence of Arabia (1962), Spielberg suggested that they make an animated version of The Ten Commandments (1956) — and the resulting film was supposed to help establish the DreamWorks brand.

HONOLULU (AP) -- The father of a teenager who survived a flight from California to Hawaii tucked in a jetliner's wheel well has told Voice of America his son missed Africa, where he used to live, and was struggling in school.
Voice of America reported Wednesday (http://bit.ly/1igj8F8) that Abdilahi Yusuf Abdi of Santa Clara, Calif., said his 15-year-old son was always talking about going back to Africa, where his grandparents live.
A school official says the boy came to the U.S. four years ago.
Law enforcement officials say the boy climbed into the wheel well before the plane took off for Maui on Sunday morning. Officials say video shows the boy jumping out of the plane after landing.
Abdi told VOA that Honolulu police notified him Sunday of his son's journey. The teen remains hospitalized in Honolulu.

By Jake Landers
Published May 2013
Two woody plants surviving in the Shinoak thickets and other brushy areas of the Hill Country are White honeysuckle and Hawthorn—not often recognized by local residents. Both have attractive white flowers in the spring and red fruit in the fall, but their scattered distribution doesn't provide much exposure to the viewing public. Most of the time I see them across the fence, blooming, or with red fruit, as I go by at the speed limit on one of our good Texas highways.
White honeysuckle ventures out from the thickest brushy areas more than Hawthorn. Often it can be seen along a highway fence, half protected from excessive browsing by goats and deer, or branching out from an Algerita bush where it was protected from early destruction while it was becoming established from seeds. It may be gaining in its distribution on our rangeland because of better livestock management, but Hawthorn seems to be getting more and more uncommon.
One variety of Hawthorn has been considered scarce enough to be placed on the endangered list, but telling one Hawthorn from another is not an easy task, even for the experts. More than 1,000 species have been described east of the Mississippi with several dozen in east Texas. Differences are based on the shape, fuzziness, and edge pattern of leaves, and thorniness, flower and fruit characteristics are too similar to be of much value. Five white petals and tiny crabapple style fruits are repeated over and over. I lump them all together using the genus name, Crataegus, and leave the sorting out of species to someone with more time and patience.
White honeysuckle is a bush instead of a vine like its often cultivated cousin from Japan which has become an aggressive pest in some areas. Both have flowers with the same perfume smell and a good supply of nectar. Leaves of White honeysuckle are grey green and often stay on for most of the winter making it a valuable browse plant for goats and deer. The scientific name is Lonicera albiflora.
On field trips with students in the woodlands of eastern Iowa, we would occasionally encounter a Hawthorn with large tasty fruit as big as a Crabapple. I sampled some Hawthorn fruit in our Hill Country once, and I found it shriveled, dry, seedy and sugarless. Must be tough growing a good Hawthorn fruit in our summer weather.
Reading The Landscape
Windmill, storage tank, and Liveoak tree on Landers Ranch in springtime. How many years before the Liveoak tree grows high enough to block the wind?
|See below for Jake's answer
Jake's summary: The height of a Liveoak is determined by its genetics, its ability to move moisture in the soil to its leaves for photosynthesis. The height of a windmill can be built high enough to reach the wind. The Liveoak here will grow no higher, it has reached its limit to pull moisture out of this soil as you can tell from the very even height of its upper branches. —JL

I have been a customer of KSC Crystals on and off for several years and I have always found Keith to be very, very helpful. This purchase was no exception. I'm so fascinated by crsytals and their healing properties and wanted to create a grid for a specific reason. Keith rang me to discuss my needs before choosing some wonderful crystals on my behalf. His customer service is second to none.
I was nervous because I'd never ordered from this company before. My concerns were totally unfounded. My purchase arrived in a very timely manner & was exactly the same piece I looked at. I could not possibly have asked for better. Thank you very much. I look forward to ordering from you again.
As always, the crystals received were stunning I LOVE Dragon's Blood and highly recommend it. KSC is also GREAT at sending some as a gift Who wouldn't love receiving crystals in the mail And again, as always....a lovey crystal as a gift Thank you KSC....I recommend you often to friends and clients

Pulaski's Diaz allows one hit in debut
Mariners right-hander takes perfect game into sixth, fans nine
By Brandon Simes / Special to MLB.com | June 20, 2013 8:10 PM ET
Pulaski, Va., is a long way from Edwin Diaz's native Naguabo, Puerto Rico, but the 19-year-old made himself at home on the mound Thursday night.
Diaz gave up just one hit while striking out nine in six innings for the Rookie-level Mariners in their 2-1 loss to the Royals in 13 innings at Burlington Athletic Stadium.
"I like [Pulaski] a lot, it has the same weather as Puerto Rico so I feel at home. It's very nice weather," Diaz said.
Diaz used his low- to mid-90s fastball, change-up, and slider in 84-degree heat as he retired the first 15 batters he faced to start the year. He mixed all three pitches like his idol Pedro Martinez, for whom Diaz wears No. 45.
"All three of my pitches were very good, but my slider was the best," Diaz said.
It was a slider away that Burlington's Alex Newman doubled to left to lead field off the bottom of the sixth inning.
"It was a good pitch, but I'll give credit to [Newman]," Diaz said.
"His slider was outstanding," Pulaski pitching coach Nasusel Cabrera said. "I was waiting for this type of outing from him. He's been working very, very hard."
With the leadoff man at second, the right-hander got a groundout and a flyout before fanning Desmond Henry to end his outing.
"After he gave up the hit, he had thrown like 58 pitches," said Cabrera. "He got out of the inning with 74 pitches. It was enough. We planned to have him throw 80 or 75."
Diaz tossed 19 innings in the Arizona Fall League in 2012, striking out 20 but walking 17. He posted a 5.21 ERA in his first taste of professional baseball.
"Pitching in Arizona helped me a lot. Pitching in high school is not the same as pitching in the pros, and I learned a lot about the game," Diaz said.
Diaz has also been focusing on gaining weight and acclimating himself to life in the United States. He weighed 154 pounds when he signed after being selected in the third round of the 2012 Draft, and he has packed on 20 pounds since then.
"I'm working hard in the gym and I'm eating a lot," Diaz said.
He's still looking for a place that serves good rice, beans and fried chicken in Pulaski.
"I haven't found a good place yet, but I will," he said.
Jose Miguel Rodriguez (1-0) earned the win for Burlington, allowing one hit and striking out two with two scoreless innings. Andrew Ayers drove in the winning run with a ground ball to short that Zach Shank mishandled with the bases loaded in the 13th.

A POPULAR peak hour train WILL stop at Westhoughton again — but commuters will have to wait four months before it is back on the tracks.
The Bolton News reported in May how the Northern Rail 4.38pm service from Manchester Victoria to Wigan no longer called at Westhoughton, causing a major headache for passengers.
It followed a change in timetable, meaning trains had to skip the station to make a connection in Wigan.
Now, transport bosses have announced the service will stop at Westhoughton again from October 6, pending final approval from the Department for Transport.
Bolton Council's cabinet member for transport and leader of Westhoughton Town Council Cllr David Chadwick said he was pleased they were able to bring the train back through the station.
The earliest it could come back would be within six weeks, he said, but various engineering work on the line meant October was the most "sensible" option.
Cllr Chadwick added: "It will come back on October 6. There is a willingness to put it back in, and that's down to the good working relationship between Transport for Greater Manchester (TFGM), Northern Rail, First Transpennine Express and Bolton Council.
"It will go back in — although it might be a bit earlier, or might be a bit later."
Commuter Caroline Mangnall was one of the passengers affected by the change in timetable, and has had to travel via Daisy Hill station and walk home.
She said: "While it's welcome news, it would be more welcome news if it was a bit sooner.
"It's frustrating that for the next few months I'll have to make alternative arrangements.
"We'll have to be patient."
A Northern Rail spokesman said they had listened to commuters' concerns.
He added: "After meeting with local stakeholders and taking on board our customers' feedback, we have reviewed the recent timetable changes to trains on the Bolton to Wigan route.
"We are pleased to confirm that a Westhoughton stop will be reinstated on the 4:38pm Manchester Victoria to Wigan service.
"We hope to implement this as part of the next timetable change, scheduled for October 6."
A TFGM spokesman added: "By making these timetable alterations we are able to effectively balance the needs of Northern Rail passengers while still retaining efficient journey flows and peak-time capacity."
The Bolton News launched its Let's Get Back On Track campaign calling for an end to Bolton's "cattle-truck" trains.
And Prime Minister David Cameron promised Bolton would get an extra 200 seats, with some being introduced on the morning commuter route before the end of the year.

Freetown & Northern Sierra Leone
January. 30th 2006
My first trip outside of Guinea took me to Freetown, the capital of neighboring Sierra Leone. My digging guide and friend Amadou Baldé and I left town early in the morning in a bush taxi. There's this special brand of vintage Peugeot cars that have another, smaller row of seats behind the back seat. On the outside it's not bigger than any other regular european car, on the inside neither but somehow, around here you can fit at least 10 people plus an unbelievable amount of luggage inside a car like this plus another 3 to 5 feet of luggage on top. Sometimes more. This means you have two passengers riding shotgun, if those two aren't fat, you can fit a third passenger between the two front seats, raising the number of people on board to 11. On the backseat which in fact is the "middle row", at least 4 people are seated. The tiny little bench behind somehow fits 3. Being a decadent Westerner who only cares about his own comfort, I rented the entire middle row for Amadou and me, paying for all 4 "seats" of course prompting comments like "look, this is how rich people travel" from the three big ladies compressed into the small space behind us. After 3 hours, the tar gave away to a dirt road with a surface changing from deep washed out tracks and large craters to some sort of ripple pattern that must originate from the type of machinery used to level the "Freetown-Conakry Highway". Our car somehow reminded me of the Zombies in Dawn Of the Dead: Important parts of the body were missing, it looked like it long ago should have stopped moving but somehow this car was still going. Only difference being that this was one fast Zombie careening through the jungle at breakneck speed, camouflaged in an immense cloud of red dust, heading straight towards Freetown. Okay, I should mention that we had a three hour stop at the border but this would be an entire story on its own, everybody who has any experience in african border crossing should know what I'm talking about.
Freetown used to be a bustling town. The nearby beaches, endlessly long, white and lined with palm trees are considered to be amongst the continent's most beautiful, some claim they would make the worldwide top ten. This is why Freetown, before the 10 year long civil war that plagued the country up until 2001 had enjoyed its fair share of tourism. Then it became the favorite playground for international dealers in firearms and diamonds. The fighting during the first 6 years was limited to the border region to Liberia in the East and the diamond fields in the North but in 1997 one of Africa's most gruesome civil wars of the last decade engulfed the capital. Gangs of bandits and soldiers of the RUF (Revolutionary United Front) for the most part consisting of drugged out teenagers with machetes and AK 47s took the streets, terrorizing, raping, mutilating and killing civilians at will. After being pushed out of the capital by the Ecomog (West african peace keeping force) in 1998, the RUF retaliated in '99 with an unimaginably brutal assault code named "Operation No Living Thing". A wave of terror washed over the city of Freetown. Within a few days, many thousand civilians got killed or had limbs hacked off with machetes. Almost every single person you get to meet in Freetown can tell you stories that will wrench your gut.
Amadou and me entered the city through the borough of Kissy which was the one to suffer the most during the war. Amadou's uncle lives there and we paid him a visit. The old man told us how he had lost his business during the war and how he was lucky enough to keep his life. At times being forced to flee his house and live in the streets on the West side of town where for the most part, there were no rebels but where privately operating bandits executed their own brand of brutality. He told us how his entire family walked around with swollen bellies because they were not able to cook for weeks. The smell of food would have attracted the rebels who would have taken everything away. The diet consisted of raw cassava and potatoes resulting in severe intestinal pains.
After a couple of ice cold Star beers (the surprisingly good local brew of choice), we took to the center of town where we found our first "recording studio". The owner refused flat out to sell any of his records even though he didn't use them anymore. After he left, his employee told us to meet him after work at the kiosk inside Victoria Park. We headed for another spot called "Topman Recording Studio" where we met Abrahaman, our future main connection to various private record collections. Abrahaman let us go through his entire store stock and I scored my first few OG nigerian issue Fela records along with "Mandjou" by Ambassadeur International on Badmos Records with a young Salif Keita on vocals, not a dance record but an incredible piece of music: jazzy trumpet and organ soli, supertight percussion and Keita's hypnotic vocals. Gives me the chills every time I put it on. I also scored my first funk records by local bands: The insanely good and very rare 12" "bi loko" by Muyei Power and the "push am forward" 45 by Afro National.
Abrahaman told us to search for "old sailors". He explained how it had always been the sailors who brought the new records to town. They were traveling up and down the West African coast, buying records in the harbors of Lagos, Cotonou and Abidjan, the cities with pressing plants and sold them to local recording studios and nightclubs once they would get back to Freetown. We left Topman and turned a few corners to an electronics store that also used to deal with records, but they had nothing interesting left. There we met a young man named Zico who told us he knew just the man we were looking for, an old sailor with a vast collection of records. The shop was located on Regent Road, one of Freetown's busiest streets, lined by small stores and businesses with an endless stream of pedestrians, cars and the infamous taxi motorbikes which dart through traffic without any consideration for their own or anybody else's wellbeing. Zico showed us away from the chaos, down a narrow road with deep cracks in its tar. The edges giving away inch after inch to the valley into which we descended. In its middle, a bridge crossed over a small creek. The last few yards before the bridge, the edges of the road zigzagged towards its center, almost reaching the middle. Someone had painted the outline of the remaining tar white to minimize the danger of falling into the bushes below when walking after dark. On the other side, Zico led us into a neighbourhood of old wooden houses from colonial times and to the left we entered a narrow gate in a sheet iron fence which gave way into a small community of shacks and one story houses. A labyrinth of pathways led us past old women preparing food in front of their houses and girls fixing each others hair. On the other side, we exited again through another door and entered into a backyard where we found Mr. Abu Deen Kamara sitting in front of his one story house.
Mr. Abu Deen Kamara was old, hard to tell what age exactly, his eyes were slightly fogged as if someone had poured a few drops of milk into them. He told us about how he had bought vinyl and tapes all over West Africa in the 70s and with pride, he explained to us how he had always taken good care of his records over the years and that they would all be in excellent shape. Mr. Kamara disappeared into his house while his neighbours offered me a wooden chair. I sat down and set up the portable record player on the three feet high tile covered wall surrounding a water well. Instantly, we were joined by several children and a group of women who sat down for their meal in front of the house next door eyed us with curiosity. Mr. Kamara carried out the first box of 45s. Most of them really were in great shape, many even with intact color sleeve. I found Docteur Nico's Garage Funk Bomb "Sookie" on 45. Pressed much louder than the LP version and a full minute and one insane drum/conga break longer. The fact that this beast was recorded in Kongo in 1968 just blows my mind. Another Highlight was Cobra with "wari-wa", one of the heaviest Afrobeat tracks I've ever heard and pure dance floor material. Ernesto Djedje from Cote d'Ivoire teaming up with the Manu Dibango Orchestra for the incredible Latin Funk 45 "anowah" turned out to be unkown even amongst afro-specialists. I also found another local release: Lamtei Lamptei with "fish and funji", the heavy drum intro had some of the kids start dancing around. We left with a nice stack of 45s after handing over a good amount of cash to Mr. Kamara who was just as happy as we were. He even received a spontaneous mariage proposal from one of his neighbors who said that now, since he was a wealthy man, she'd be happy to become his wife.
We made it back downtown and entered Victoria Park to sit down in front of the Kiosk for a rich meal of delicious palm oil stew with rice. The friendly owner of the place already knew about us and said that our young friend from the recording studio whom we were supposed to meet had already been by earlier and would be back in a while. As the sun settled, the sky filled with tens of thousands of flying dogs, a large kind of bat that sleeps through the day, hanging from tree branches like dead leaves. At dusk, they travel to the countless mango trees for a nightly feast of sweet fruit calling out to each other in high pitched voices.
We were lucky to have a flashlight with us because Freetown has zero electricity and nights are pitch black. Our friend arrived and brought us, amongst other records, two great LPs from Ghana: Bob Pinodo's "show master of africa" with the track "africa" that starts out with an amazing drumbreak and one of my best finds ever, a previously unknown and excelent Ebo Taylor record named "conflict". Amadou left for his uncle's house and I took a cab to my hotel on the West side. Initially I had made plans to just take a shower and then check out some local clubs but when I sat on the hotel bar's terrace over a beer, trying to decide if I should walk or send one of the guards to get me a cab, there was gunfire errupting from several corners within the hotel's close proximity and I figured I might just as well go to bed and call it a day. Still some guns left on the streets of Freetown, it seems.
I've been back to Freetown on several occasions after this trip and I managed to establish a solid network of agents who are hunting down records for me while I'm away. It's always a big pleasure to visit this amazing place.
One day, I decided to explore the provinces of Sierra Leone. My wife was nice enough to lend me her SUV and once again, Amadou and me hit the Conakry-Freetown highway. This time, about 100 Miles before reaching Freetown, we turned north towards the cities of Bo and Kenema right in the heart of Sierra Leone's diamond fields.
Traveling with our own car and with a driver made things a lot easier for us. The cars diplomatic license plates reduced the normally several hour-long waiting periods at various checkpoints around the border to a few minutes. Thierno, our driver, sometimes didn't even stop, he slowed down, yelled "Mr. Ambassador coming through" out the window and everybody wearing a uniform stepped back and saluted... Another big advantage of having an all terrain vehicle was the condition of the road: We were traveling early in August at the height of the annual rainy season. We had to deal with pot holes that looked like small lakes and there was no telling on how deep the muddy brown water would be. Once we hit a not only very deep but also steep hole with too much speed, we heard something snap and upon close inspection on the other side of the crater, we had to discover that we had lost our license plate. Luckily, Thierno was able to retrieve it out of the water after only a short search.
It seems very amusing when you see the sometimes bizarre, African ways of transportation. Cows are bound at the feet and sat into the trunk of a cab, head with confused eyes sticking out to the side. The need to bring all sorts of goods and large numbers of people from one place to another with nothing but worn out cars results in lots of creativity but also in serious danger. 20 to 30 people get jammed inside "mini busses", small vans, in fact, with holes cut into the sides so air can get in. One of those crashes, the often already twisted frame might give away some more, jamming the side door. Leaking fuel, a spark, nothing more needed for a dozen or so people to burn to death. Happens not too seldom.
The last 100 miles before Bo, the road got really bad. We counted a total of three large trucks lying on their sides next to the road. One of those accidents as we later learned had cost the lives of 8 passengers who had climbed on top of the truck's load that consisted of sacks of rice and cement. When the truck tipped over, people's bodies got mangled between the heavy sacks, the scene must have been horrifying.
We arrived at Bo in the early afternoon and decided to first grab a bite to eat and then to start looking for records. We didn't find anything in Bo but very good groundnut stew. It was raining every day, all day. We decided to try our luck in Kenema. The road from Bo to Kenema is only 80 miles long but amongst the best maintained of the whole country. It was a pleasant drive through thick forests of palm trees, fields and small villages. Halfway there, I saw a field full of suspicious looking plants and asked Amadou "hey, I'm sure I just saw a big field of marijuana!" "yes, this is very popular in Sierra Leone and around here it grows a lot". When asked if that wasn't illegal, Amadou simply said "yes, but the police have other problems..."
Kenema is the center of Sierra Leone's Diamond trade but it's a very unglamorous city. It mainly consists of one main road with an endless row of lebanese owned stores that buy and export not only diamonds but also coffee and cocoa. At the same time it is very hard to find a cup of real coffee, not only in Kenema but in all of Sierra Leone, Nescafe is much more popular. Being amongst the world's poorest countries, Sierra Leone is also one of the worlds biggest exporters in diamonds. Of course, all that the tiny country ever got in exchange were big cars, offshore accounts and mansions for a small elite and guns and machetes for the rest of the population.
(As a footnote: Do not watch this movie called "Blood Diamond". It's a lying, trivializing piece of shit and on top of it it's boring and a total waste of time. Also some of the most pathetic acting I've ever seen in mainstream cinema.)
While doing research all around Kenema and finding the one or the other record (doubles of the Cobra 45 and the Poly Rythmo Vol.4 with "aihe ni kbe we") I kept hearing about a lebanese guy named Gassam. Suppposedly, he had bought up stock from several recording studios in Freetown and then moved everything to Kenema. Due to the war, there was little interest in music, basically every citizen at some time or the other had to flee their house, places got looted and business concentrated on things that were easy to move, like diamonds and guns. Gassam dumped all his records in his basement and waited for times to get better. Now he runs a big store for mobile phones which are strong in demand in Sierra Leone. It took us a couple of days to get a date with Mr. Gassam and on the last day before our departure back to Guinea we scored. We scored big!
These records hadn't been moved in years and the red dust that during dry season will enter all houses even through the smallest cracks and settle on everything, had covered a good dozen of about 5 foot high piles of LPs that lined one entire wall of Mr. Gassams basement. There was no light so I was happy to have come prepared. I pulled my strap-on headlight over my forehead and a mold-stopping microfiltermask over mouth and nose. Of course, I looked like a complete idiot and both, Amadou and our host had to chuckle. Many hours later though, after I was through with all the records, it was clear that I couldn't have done without the mask. More than once before, and again a few weeks later when I returned from my trip to Benin, I had to pay the price for deciding against the mask in order to either not be ridiculed or to not insult my host by giving them the impression I thought their house was dirty. Western Africa has a lot of rain, Conakry and Freetown are amongst the cities with the most rain in the entire World. All this rain comes down within 3 to 4 months every year, resulting in extremely high humidity and frequent flooding. It is rare to find a record with not at least a bit of mold on the in- or outside of the cover. Moving records around when looking through them results in fanning all those mold spores into your face. Doing this for a couple of hours, day after day in my experience results in an about 50% chance to fall sick within a week. It starts like a common cold with serious headache, the symptoms move up and down your throat and sinuses, sometimes settling in your jaws or forehead. It's nasty stuff, so better wear a mask when digging in the tropics.
The drive back to Conakry was easy. Funny how the way back always seems much quicker. We made a short stop at Rogbera and scored some delicious bush meat. An animal called cane rat, a large rodent, bigger than a beaver, personally, I prefer "grasscutter" the more appetizing other name under which this animal is known. The meat was simmered down with several spices and herbs I could not name and it tasted delicious. Tender to the bite and juicy, the thin layer of fat under its spice-covered skin melted on my tounge, pleasing every single tastebud. I regretted not to have bought the entire pot. Amadou explained to me how he used to hunt for grasscutters around his village when he was young. Since the animal is nocturnal, he would stake out their feeding ground during the day and then at night surprise them with a flaming torch, causing the feeding animals to scare and freeze, thereby giving him enough time to hit them over the head with a big stick. One of those cute little things would give you around 8 pounds of meat.
