The Universe and Our Hands
by Georgia E. Warren
Some stories are true stories, some are fiction. This is my true story and most of it happened in Cobbleskill, NY, although a piece of it occurred at Beardslee Castle in Little Falls, NY. I had a booth at both of these and this lady DID sit down with me and we really had these discussions. I am going tell you her story as I experienced it.
"Hello, do you have time for me to have a reading."
I looked up from my table at a psychic fair in Cobbleskill to say, "Sure, have a seat." As I did I was looking up at one of the tallest women I had ever seen. When she sat down, it was more like she folded up into the seat. Her hands were in the pockets of her beige trench coat. She wore very dark sunglasses and her ill fitting wig covered an obvious bald head. I asked her why she stopped by my table and if she had specific questions that we could talk about during our hand reading.
She replied, "I heard you talking at dinner last night and I decided to come here for a reading. I must admit, at first, I was going to talk to Mr. Cole but he was booked up, so I came over to see you. Don't get me wrong, I liked what you were saying, but you talked as if you were skeptical about extraterrestrial life and he was strongly defending the idea that there were intelligent alien life forms already here."
I was perplexed about her answer. Dennis Cole, Bob the Book Guy, and I had a discussion about space aliens during dinner, but the restaurant was closed to the public and only the psychic fair participants were there, plus two waitresses and the chef/cook. The waitresses were not tall at all and the chef was a man, I would have noticed this lady, if she were in the room close enough to hear us.
"I didn't see you in the restaurant last night." I said.
She said, "I heard you."
I let the subject drop. I was new at this show and even though it was busy, I had not been and I wanted to do a reading. I was trying to get into any shows I could. I needed money for my car; it was showing its age and cost as much as a car payment a month in repairs. I needed the car to do the shows and the shows to keep the car.
"Okay, so let me see your hands and we'll get started." She took her hands out of her pockets and they were just beautiful. She had long, slender hands and fingers. "You have what we call 'air hands,' or creative hands, if you are not doing something creative in your life, you will not feel fulfilled, and if you are you should try to keep that creative aspect all your life."
I always look carefully at the back of my client's hands, sometimes the backs will tell me as much as the palms. Strangely, her hands had a golden tone to them. I looked up at her face and even with most of it covered by the sunglasses, what did show was the same metallic gold color.
Her hands trembled and she began to speak, "That's why I came here, I am so unhappy. I came to this place taking a job that pays well, I left my home and my family so they would have a better life. I didn't think I would be here doing statistics for this many years. I am so lonely. That's why I came to your show. I am so lonely. I miss my children and my home. They haven't come back for me yet. I keep sending reports, I'm not getting any replies. I want to go home."
"Well," I said, "let's take a look at the palms while we talk. We can see what your hands say, first though, could you take your sunglasses off, it's hard for me to talk to someone without looking at them." She took off the sunglasses off slowly and as if it pained her to do so. Her large almond shaped eyes had irises and pupils of almost the same shade of black. Her eyebrows were drawn on in eyebrow pencil. When she smiled I noticed she had no canine teeth, (and she did smile a couple of times during our reading).
I continued, "I am skeptical about most of the psychic modalities, even my own. I will tell you what your hands say, but reading palms and hands is something I learned and you will need to interpret for yourself whether it fits your life or not."
Her palms as well as the shape of her hands were fitting a creative personality type. I told her that she had a well developed mound of Venus. Her mind and life line melted into one another which meant that she was what I have always called a "heart person."
I looked at the rest of her dominate hand (the strongest of a person's hands usually the one with which you write, draw or play sports), then both of her hands. All of the lines on both hands either started or ended well below the mound of Pluto (the bump on your hand at the bottom where your hand and wrist join). I said,
"Oh wow, according to your hands you sure have amazing Psychic Potential. Some readers would say: 'You are in this world but not of it.'"
"Oh, that's what I'm trying to tell you, but I have kept my secret for so long, it is hard to say. I am not from your planet. I want to go home. Please, I just need to talk to somebody, I heard you and Dennis Cole, last night talking to the man across from you who sells books. You two said that if you met someone from another planet and they wanted you to keep it a secret you would. The book selling man said that he didn't think he could, that it was too important for humanity to know we were here and that there was intelligent life on other planets."
I noticed my client had no accent or dialect. From what she said to me next, that would be expected. According to her narrative she had been right here in the middle of New York State for more than five decades.
"We came here in your year of 1954. For a while my boss and the rest of the crew checked out what was happening on your planet. They knew from seismic activity that there were atomic bombs dropped in the 1940s and that there had continued to be testing on stronger and stronger bombs. We had to make sure that your scientists were not going to find the next step of mass destruction that would not only wipe out your planet but set a chain of events that could move the delicate balance of the entire universe on a destructive course. Once they did their study they set an office up for me in a house in an isolated area near here. They set up a fund for me that would grow and give me living expenses. My pay check at home would go to my family. It was a lot. I couldn't say no."
Given my financial circumstances at the time, I could understand how she felt. I looked back at her hands, trying to see something in the lines there that would give her comfort.
I couldn't see anything in the lines of
her hands that showed her "going home."
When she began to talk again she said. "I can read most Earth languages and have subscriptions to major newspapers and scientific magazines. As soon as you all caught up to computers I started following the news that way. I easily hacked into the scientific community workplaces. I kept writing my reports. I kept sending them off to my bosses. They told me not to expect answers, they didn't want Earthlings to intercept messages coming across space. It wouldn't raise suspicions that I was sending messages out, suspicions would only come on incoming messages. It is very frustrating. I don't know if they are listening. I don't know if something happened and they never even made it back home. I just don't know."
I had to ask her a few questions: "How long did it take you to get to Earth? You said you've been here since 1954, you must have been an adult then, you don't look all that old, are you very old?"
She answered me: "We got from our star system to yours in a matter of a few Earth days. The Solar system is a bit of a mess and we had to slow way down. It took almost a month to steer around hunks of debris in your system. You people are so egotistical, you think you are the only ones. Intelligent life just isn't so very rare. Your people started out on the planet right next to Earth and ended up blowing it into millions of pieces after you had sent prisoners to this one to start colonizing. Looking at your history, I don't even want to think what they did here for thousands of years to degrade themselves and then start building back up.
Yes, I came here in 1954, your time. I am old by your way of reckoning time and age. We live many years longer than Humans. I don't like Humans much at all. People in grocery stores make fun of me. I wear these dark glasses because they make fun of my eyes. I keep my hands in my pockets in stores unless I am taking objects off shelves. I don't smile because my teeth look strange to Humans."
I wanted to know if her people were perhaps our ancestors. There were so many similarities, even in the lines of her hand. Were they the original inhuman Humans. She did not know.
It was Sunday and the show was closing at six o'clock. By the time we finished talking the other participants were starting to pack up. She gave me her e-mail and I gave her mine.
For a few years she would write me, not often, but often enough to let me know she was still there. After around four years I was doing a show in Beardslee Castle, I saw her come in. This time she had a blond wig covering her bald head and a white trench coat instead of the brown one she wore before. Nobody had contacted her from home yet, she paid me for a reading, even though she only stayed a few minutes and then she walked away.
I have no idea if this lady was a space alien.
I have read about Marfan syndrome. Many of her physical traits fit into the symptoms of Marfan, long arms, hands and legs, tall and thin, crowded teeth. "Marfan syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects the body's connective tissue. Connective tissue holds all the body's cells, organs and tissue together. It also plays an important role in helping the body grow and develop properly."*
The golden color could have make up, the eyes could have been contact lenses. Was one of our waitresses a friend and told her about the dinner conversation?
I have not heard from her for years now. I tried e-mailing after the Beardslee show and all of the e-mails came back to me "unknown."
Whether she was a space alien
or just alienated, humans
did not show her the kindness
and friendship she deserved.

Here is a map showing supposed lines of force, or connection, or power transmission, or something simply mysterious called "Ley Lines". When they intersect, Ley Lines are said to create places with a special power - typically the habitat of Bigfoot or powerful spirit beings, the landing place of aliens, or serving as portals through which one communicates with other worlds or other states of being. Spiritual centers, sacred places, and locations of political power...

Reply: Have you ever seen a small chunk of pure sodium metal burn, shriek, and tear itself apart when dropped into water? The energy release during the extremely rapid oxidation is impressive. It's not the same as the earth, but in some ways it's analogous - earth is burning (slowly), and tearing itself apart constantly - as a result of trying to cool off.

The most powerful place I've ever known isn't there any more except between my ears.
It was a flat swampy wetland with a brook flowing through it that once fed a shallow lake that Mom said she had skated on in long ago winter times. I imagined Mom skating in a mental newsreel, black and white and shaky; not a memory of my own at all but of something else I never knew but wish I did. (Go to Story)________________

It seems that humans can't resist following water. I am sure that it didn't take primative peoples long to know how much easier to get from one place to another perched on a fallen log and then a hollow log, a canoe and then finally a boat.
If you get tired going down the river, you pull to the side and stop. If there is a waterfall too steep or rapids too rough, you pull to the side and stop. Build a hut and eventually it becomes a community. (Go to Story)

The Old Same-Place, as we called it when we lived there in the seventies, was a nineteenth-century farm house next to a small, unmowed cemetery under tall White Pines as old as the stones where Blackcap Raspberries thrived in a couple of patches. Wild Morning Glory vines hooded the tomb stones and climbed the old pines to their first branches twenty or thirty feet above the ground. The old Pines had grown so large that their sprawling roots tilted the vine-hooded tombstones so that they seemed to be running away
One morning I was poking into the cemetery with my dog Kasha to check on some ripening BlackCap berries in which Kasha had no interest, she lay down in patch of Morning Glory vines near a stone I had never noticed before. It was mostly obscured by the vines but the thing was bigger than a bowling ball and glowing red. (Go to Story)
Connecticut Hill, about the wildest part of Tompkins County, has some reputation as a portal between worlds, a landing spot for space aliens, and the habitat of Bigfoot. I don't know about all of that, but I have hunted, prospected, and skied for years on that hill, and I don't get how people manage to come across Aliens and Bigfeet there, and not even notice the numerous Littlefeet: the small yellowish natives who retreated to the Gorges when the pre-Iroquois Algonquins arrived, and left the gorges for the hills when the Iroquois took over.

In the 70's I was known in Tompkins County as someone that had an interest to play with stones and this fellow wanted to find a particular boulder to set on some property in Ellis Hollow at the northeast quadrant at the corner of Turkey Hill Road and Ellis Hollow Road. He explained there was a confluence of ley lines in the area and that it was full of power. He wanted to place a boulder at the intersection to make it even more powerful a meditation space. This was, as I recall, to be called something like The Temple of Light.

Before Alcoholic Anonymous, or AA, there were Ancient Astronauts, the first-ever AAs. I met some of them when I was drinking spiked Mother's Milk in a far away Power Place called The Womb and later, after getting deported, at the Friday night Mensa meeting in Halifax.
They were a fast-talking fun-loving crowd but none too clever given they chose Earth as a crash pad. That was their big mistake and a dead give-away that these so-called Ancient Astronauts were on the interstellar lam and just looking for a new place to party. (Go to Story)
We would drive the buggy where
apart from the wheel tracks
we'd left last week
there was no trace of anyone
the land was so very flat
in all directions
we must unknowingly have crossed
one horizon after another
we might have been
let down from an angel chariot
for all the time
that distance seemed to take
your summons uplifted me
when the horse had its head
the prairie just rolled back
as steady as knitting
and in that pleasure
the body takes when it is
inured to hunger
and the fierce desires
in the renewed
appearance of tranquility
in each moved moment
we rehearsed our satisfaction
over and over so that
later I would find myself
repeating it even in my sleep
where there could be no expectation
of sharing it with you
how your call abides
that invited me
to look from that grassy shore
across a blind eye of water
with the ducks returning as
soon as our carriage-sounds stop
in a line that flattens as the surface
approaches beneath it
only to spill apart
and splash into several gratitudes
at the last moment

Wake Me
by Mary Gilliland
In the treeless light of Delos
mullein flowers burn round
and the stone lions
have waited so long
some have lost their smiles,
others their heads.
In Eleusinian bus exhaust
rain beads like wax
drops along a candle
toward the smashed ruins.
In Samaria the temples
are not slabs of stone.
Water cold as fire
channels the gorge.
In the neglect at Dodona
Persephone has burned
to a shade thinner than sorrow
and fled to the caverns
leaving a painted turtle
to stare down the lizards.

Places of Power
Mt. Shasta
In the fall of 2016 our prose writing workshop ("Traveling, Thinking, Writing") read books by Eddy Harris, Linda Grant Niemann, and Robert Michael Pyle. Pyle's book is called Where Bigfoot Walks and one weekend in early November we endeavored to go out walking in one of the places where Bigfoot is reputed to walk, Siskiyou County in northern California. We drove north for five hours—in a rented van—from Berkeley. (Go to Story)
Places of Power
Mt. Shasta
by Peter Fortunato
I'm originally from Kansas, and that's why the name has stuck. A guy I met when I first hitchhiked to the Mountain started calling me that, and I liked it, and so on Shasta I became Kansas for keeps. That was my first time up there, 1976. I came down from the Mountain when Rinpoche arrived in the Bay Area, and there I made some new friends and we all stayed in the same house with him in the hills near Orinda. A lovely, friendly little town in those days—I wonder what it's like now? (Go to Story)
The Texture of Music
by Peter Wetherbee
As a musician, audio engineer, and listener, I would like to define beauty in sound. What is it that makes something sound good? What is my favorite kind of music? If there could possibly be such a defining measuring stick, how would one quantify the magnitude of a given piece of art or music, the depth of beauty, or the absolute weight of meaning in the artistic gesture or statement?
I would like to call this magical sweet spot the location of power in music. (Go to Story)

The Mirage of Peace by David Aikman

Cross Rhythms Product Code: 98274

Binding: Hardback
Pages: 256
Publisher: Gospel Light
Cat. Code: 9780830746057
Release Date: 02 Jun 2010
Former TIME Magazine Jerusalem bureau chief David Aikman takes a sober, balanced impactful look at the Middle East, bringing a journalist's mind and a believer's heart to his examination of a region aflame. In this timely and informed exploration of current Middle East issues that goes beyond headlines and sound bites, Aikman fills in the blanks for thoughtful Christians, accurately tracing recent history and fairly portraying the leaders who have made that history. With a firm grasp on a biblical understanding of Israel's past, present and future, he turns a critical eye on the political and religious policies of the region's prime players, resorting neither to blind pro Israeli sentiment nor to reactionary pro Palestinian bias. Aikman challenges us to a uniquely Christian approach to the Middle East, respect, reason and love, rather than unqualified tolerance on the one hand or religious crusading on the other.

Johnny Manziel was all about rubbing thumbs and index fingers together in college. In the pros, he has taken to gestures involving the middle finger.
Johnny Football flipped the Redskins bench the bird in the third quarter of the Cleveland-Washington preseason game on Monday night. The rude sign language followed an incomplete pass thrown by the rookie quarterback–and a lot of heckling apparently thrown at him from the home team's sidelines. Although the referees missed Manziel's silent rendition of "Hail to the Redskins," the NFL surely saw it and will make him pay for his performance.
The league grabbed a quarter-million from the late Titans owner Bud Adams for unholstering both birds against Bills fans while wearing an unthreatening powder blue blazer back in 2009. But a rookie's wallet isn't as fat as an owner's, so the first-time offender likely looks to lose a few thousand dollars for losing his cool.
Earlier in the game, Redskins linebacker Brian Orakpo mocked Manziel by employing his iconic "money" sign after teammate Ryan Kerrigan sacked Manziel on third down. Manziel's early struggles generated razzing from the opposing team periodically during the game.
Manziel threw for 65 yards on 7 completions, one of them a touchdown, on 16 passes in the 24-23 loss. The performance didn't appear enough to topple Brian Hoyer from his presumed spot at the top of Cleveland's depth chart.

The Center for Studies in Contemporary History was born in February 2012 from the desire to ensure an environment suitable for historical research and for promoting the events and characters that are representative for contemporary Romanian history both in the country and abroad. The Center is a non-profit organization, independent and removed form interests that are other than strictly professional. It represents the private initiative of a group of young people with experience in the area of research and organization of events.
Our goal is to have a professional and dedicated approach to all subject matters, without prejudices or value judgments. We wish to turn our research subjects into public interest events and to attract the interest of people from all generations (especially youngsters) in knowing the recent past, both through the quality of the content and through the ways it is presented.
More than anything we value honesty, balance and common sense. We believe that the role of research is to record the facts and to present them in the context of their time, in order to have better understanding of the respective facts in the present. We aim for the emblem of the Center to become a guarantee of the quality of all the results of our work, be it books, conferences, events or media products.

Amazon gifts Kosair Charities with giant box of gifts
Amazon gifts Kosair Charities with giant box of gifts
LOUISVILLE, Ky. —
Christmas came early for dozens of special needs kids. On Wednesday, Amazon employees, with some help from Santa and his elves, opened a giant box at Kosair Charities' east campus, in Jeffersontown.
It was filled with toys, games and other items from the kids' holiday wish list.
The donation is part of the company's What's in the Box program.
"We've been doing it for over 90 years, making kids' dreams possible, making kids' dreams come true. We're grateful for that opportunity and grateful for the people who help us," said Kosair Charities President Randy Coe.
The Kosair east campus opened last year.
It merged the Heuser Hearing Institute, Bluegrass Center for Autism and Louisville Pediatric Therapy Center, all under one roof.

in Northeast Brazil

Intensive fish culture
in the Northeast is presently limited
Ceara State, but DNOCS is obligated to expand to all
regions under its jurisdiction.
To reach these regions and
to ultimately make
a significant impact on local fish supplies,
more fish culture
extension workers must be trained, preferably
USAID assistance. A fish culture extension
advisor is needed not
only for assisting in training of mere
fish culture extension
specialists, but also for assisting in
DNOCS-sponsored international
and regional training programs.
As training will be
continuous, assistance provided
by USAID will be necessary
for at least 3 years.
Colonization-Settlement Project:
Experience of DNOCS
in the last 5 years has shown that
under-utilized and under-productive land could
feasibly be put to crop
production through rational planning
and proper
management of stored water resources. These
projects with terrestrial crops and livestock
have been successful.
Aquaculture is a
viable option for land that is not suitable
for cultivation. Fish
culture colonization projects similar to
agricultural projects
now functioning are in the preliminary
planning stages. Such
projects deserve priority attention
due to their short-term
impact possibilities. Not only would
such a project bring
direct financial benefits to low-income
farmers, but large fish
supplies could be produced and,
through a cooperative,
marketed in a rational manner that
would benefit the maximum
number of consumers at the
lowest cost. DNOCS is
urged to expedite development of
this project so
that fish protein reaches consumers in significant
Model Form Demonstrations:
The most important
extension tool is the practical demonstration.
This teaching tool
is being used in Northeast Brazil,
with private farm
ponds serving as demonstration units.
Demonstrations directed
by public institutions can often
provide farmers
with a better concept of fish culture methods
because Brazilian farmers
are generally not interested in demonstrating
techniques to potential
To promote intensive
fish culture and teach production
methods, it is recommended
that DNOCS create public,
intensive fish
culture demonstrations throughout the Northeast's
more suitable regions.
Possible locations include
DNOCS's experimental
farms and state agricultural model
farms. All such
demonstration-type projects should apply
sound methods developed
through research to demonstrate
techniques of pond
construction, fish stocking, fertilization.
harvesting, processing, and marketing to farmers
and other
interested persons.
The future of fish farming
in Northeast Brazil is now dependent
on sufficient fingerling
production to satisfy farmer
demand. Without a continuous
adequate supply, fish culture
will not progress to
a point that it can make a significant
impact in Brazil's
Northeast region.
Fingerlings can be supplied
through one of two methods.
First, DNOCS can
increase fingerling production through its
own initiative. For
example, existing facilities can be expanded
by construction of
more production ponds and related
holding facilities.
Such expansion would require employment
and training of
more personnel. Second, fingerling
production could be
increased by the government relinquishing
control and allowing
capable persons in the private
sector to produce
fingerlings on a commercial scale.
Either of these
methods should help attain the goal of
producing an adequate
supply of fingerlings so that returns
on investments in
commercial fish production facilities can
be maximized.

The 2018 World AeroPress Championship will be held in Sydney, Australia and co-hosted with legendary coffee roasters, Single O.
The World AeroPress Championship has long been known as a "free-wheeling fuck-off" to the all-too-serious world of coffee competitions. In our 11th year it's time to change things up (big time) and really step out from the shadows.
As far back as we can remember, the World AeroPress Championship final has tagged along to wherever that big and stuffy competition (which we won't name) went. This meant that the location and date of our competition was always decided by someone else, and recently, some of those decisions have been pretty questionable.
Now that we're older, a little bit wiser, but still free-wheeling A.F., we thought, screw that; it's time to make sure we give our competitors and our hosts the best possible competition to be a part of (regardless of who's paying off the big guys).
With that spirit in mind, we're super stoked to announce that we're breaking free, and taking it Down Under…
You can expect the final to be held in early November, and for it to be an evolved version of our usual event. Sign up to our newsletter to stay up to date.
We're all about community, so we're stretching out to a two-day event including a true blue Aussie-style BBQ, and a lot more opportunity for competitors to actually hang out with other coffee lovers.
Shouldn't you be getting involved?

Broadcloth Sentence Examples
- The weaving establishments (mainly broadcloth) of Leiden at the close of the 15th century were very important, and after the expulsion of the Spaniards Leiden cloth, Leiden baize and Leiden camlet were familiar terms. These industries afterwards declined, and in the beginning of the 19th century the baize manufacture was altogether given up. Linen and woollen manufactures are now the most important industries, while there is a considerable transit trade in butter and cheese.
- From Mongolia come leather, saddlery, sheep and horses, with coral, amber and small diamonds from European sources; from Kham perfumes, fruits, furs and inlaid metal saddlery; from Sikkim and Bhutan rice, musk, sugar-balls and tobacco; from Nepal broadcloth, indigo, brasswork, coral, pearls, sugar, spices, drugs and Indian manufactures; from Ladak saffron, dried fruits and articles from India.

Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev places the blame for what is happening in Ukraine personally to President Poroshenko. Prime Minister wrote this on his Facebook page.
"By interrupting the ceasefire president Poroshenko made a dramatic mistake. It will bring new victims. And for those, he is now personally responsible", – Medvedev said in a statement. According to him, such a move complicates a return to negotiations.
Russian Prime Minister promised that Russia will defend its markets from the results of Ukraine signing of Association Agreement with the EU. Medvedev also predicted full gas crisis in the autumn of this year. Head of government called "cynical" the remarks of the U.S. State Department spokesman Marie Harf that Ukrainian refugees travel to Russia to visit their grandmothers. Actions of the Ukrainian leadership, according to Medvedev, considerably complicate the development of relations between the two countries and make it impossible to cooperate on a number of issues.

The Consumer Electronics Show 2013 is underway, and I have a couple of handy-dandy ways to keep up with the news. If you are a Twitter user, you can use the tags #CES or #2013CES to get the skinny. Even if you don't have a Twitter account, you can still use a site like Twinitor, and enter the tags there for real-time Twitter updates. If you like things a little less frantic, you can look up CNET which seems to be in full-fledged CES mode right now, or got to Daily Rotation and click the CES link in the "All The Latest" section - you'll get fresh CES stories from all over the web.

As a result of a joint engineering venture, Jünger Audio and Flux:: are pleased to announce Level Magic for the first time in a software format. Developed and enhanced over several years, the dynamic range processor principles developed by Jünger Audio enable level managing devices like compressors, AGC and limiters to be produced with exceptionally high audio quality, without coloration, pumping, breathing, distortion or modulation effects sometimes associated with this type of processors, in short, almost inaudible processing - with ease of use.
Level Magic 5.1 is a surround capable Real Time and Offline loudness measurement, correction and management processor. Designed to meet the requirements of the global broadcast and media industry it is compliant with all current worldwide loudness standards. The algorithm is highly adaptive to the structure of the incoming audio and requires only a small number of parameters to be set by the user. The result is audio compliant with the selected standard but free of any unwanted artefacts such as pumping, breathing or distortion.
Based on the underlying ITU-R BS.1770(-1/2/3) principle, Level Magic provides compatibility with EBU R128, ATSC A/85, ARIB TR-B32, FREE TV OP-59 and Portaria 354.
Designed to be audibly transparent, Level Magic utilises a proprietary multi-loop approach comprising of three essential elements in parallel to measure, and if necessary correct, out of specification audio. An AGC section controls slower changing levels over time whilst a fast acting transient processor catches inaudible high frequency overshoots that may otherwise cause detrimental effects in downstream processing or coding. A brickwall filter provides effective True Peak limiting using a 2ms look-ahead to capture any intersample peaks. The resultant gain changing signal is a combination of all three elements.

Basketball took Dale Brown around the world, filling a need in a fatherless lad with boundless energy that couldn't be satisfied by staying home in frosty Minot, North Dakota.
Without knowing it, maybe what the globetrotting Brown was looking for was Shaquille O'Neal.
They met in a U.S. Army base in Wildflecken, West Germany in 1985. Brown was there giving a basketball clinic for the troops — and no doubt delivering a few lines from his bottomless reservoir of positive pronouncements — when O'Neal came to him.
"Coach Brown, I need a strength program to help me with my lower extremities, because I'm 6-foot-8, and I can't jump," O'Neal once told People magazine.
"Uh, how long you been in the Army, soldier?" Brown asked
"I'm not in the Army," Teen Shaq replied. "I'm only 13."
"Thirteen!" Brown shot back. "Where's your dad?"
It had to be something like that scene from "The Scout," when Albert Brooks' major league and world weary scout finds Brendan Fraser's power-hitting and power-pitching uber talent Steve Nebraska in a dusty Mexican ballpark.
"I've found King Kong!" Brooks' Al Percolo exclaims.
For Brown, meeting O'Neal in a West German gymnasium was more than that. For both of them.
By the time they met, Brown had already known success.
Barnstorming into Louisiana in 1972 as the last of the once red-hot embers of LSU basketball stoked by Pete Maravich lay dying, Brown transformed the sport in this state.
Before Brown, and to a large sense after O'Neal left the Tigers for the NBA in 1992, LSU basketball was a feast or famine operation. It was either the highest of highs, like Pistol Pete shooting up basketball arenas with his record-breaking offense, or Bob Pettit leading the Tigers to the Final Four. Or it was a program so woebegone the packed house at the Parker Coliseum that came to watch Maravich play on the freshman team cleared out like someone yelled "Fire!" when the varsity took the court.
Brown turned LSU into a consistent winner. From 1979-93, 15 straight years, the Tigers made it to the NCAA or NIT tournament, a steady level of success LSU hadn't enjoyed before — and hasn't returned to since. In a string of four successive years starting in 1978, his Tigers took down No. 1-ranked Kentucky, won the Southeastern Conference regular season in 1979, the SEC tournament in 1980 and went all the way to the Final Four in 1981.
So, Brown had established himself and LSU.
But fame, as in Brown's and O'Neal's joint induction Sunday in the College Basketball Hall of Fame on Sunday in Kansas City, Missouri? Well, neither may have gotten there without the other.
O'Neal gave LSU basketball, and Brown, something even the great Maravich couldn't give. Maravich was a brilliant scorer and passer. O'Neal was a slam-dunking, backboard-breaking, ball-swatting-into-the-ground-level-portals-of-the-Pete Maravich Assembly Center freak of nature. When O'Neal played for LSU from 1989-92, earning national player of the year honors his sophomore season, he was more than the Tigers center. He was the center of his own environment, his own universe.
It was a universe practically engineered by Brown. Like Press Maravich gave his son Pete the green light to shoot any time he wanted, Brown allowed Shaq to be Shaq, to romp through the game with his childlike abandon.
It was Brown who created the monster that in the early 1990s took a big ol' bite out of basketball, and followed the path Brown blazed to cover the world with, ahem, random acts of Shaqness.
Without each other, Brown and O'Neal might not have gotten to this induction ceremony. It's the College Basketball Hall of Fame. It's about rebound, and renown. And both allowed the other to flourish.
Think about it. Do you think Brown would be here with a buttoned-down talent like John Stockton? And could Shaq have been Shaq if he's played for — Gasp! — Bob Knight?
Hardly. When it comes to Dale Brown and Shaquille O'Neal, their good fortune was also their lasting fame. ... And our good fortune, too. We got to tag along for the ride.

The Jasmine Dragon, 8 A.M.-9 A.M., December 6, 100 AG
Everyone wakes up and finds Iroh brewing a pot of tea. Iroh hears them walk and says, "So you're awake! Are you ready for the Battle of the Borders?"
"Yeah, I guess." Aang said.
"Let's get moving! I haven't knocked a soldier's head in months!" Sokka replied.
"So, neither have I" Toph remarked.
Iroh said, "Let's have breakfast first. I made jook!"
"Okay, sure" Everyone replied.
At 9 A.M., everybody was already on Appa.
General Fong's Base, 9 A.M.- 2 P.M., December 6, 100 AG
While they were flying, they had no clue that the captured soldiers and General Fong had a plan. Aang was busy controlling Appa while Katara was busy practicing Waterbending. Sokka was playing with his boomerang while Toph was Metalbending the metal that was leftover after they destroyed the prison that Haru was in a month ago. Zuko was practicing lightning and Iroh was drinking tea. No one was paying attention at what they were doing.
At 11 A.M., when they were above General Fong's base, General Fong's soldiers broke the net and took over Appa. They were forced to land at the base.
General Fong and the army got ready to fight.
Zuko launched a bunch of fire blasts at the armies.
Toph knocked some in the air with earth pillars.
Sokka used his space sword to stab and whack some soldiers.
Aang sent air blasts at soldiers and like Sokka, whacked some soldiers with his staff.
Iroh drank tea! Then, he used his breath of fire on some soldiers.
Mai used her darts and swords to trap some soldiers to bring to the Boiling Rock.
But the armies were too strong. They quickly defended themselves and struck back. They knocked back Katara, Sokka, and Mai but they quickly got up again. They tried to escape on Appa but he was too heavily guarded.
Aang's eyes glowed white for a second and Avatar Roku appeared beside him, it happened again and Avatar Kyoshi appeared by his side too! Now Team Avatar, Avatar Roku, and Avatar Kyoshi were fighting against General Fong and his armies. My friends and my past lives are fighting against 2 armies. With our type of power, we could win, I just know it. Aang thought.
Zuko generated lightning and was about to shoot it at a soldier but Avatar Roku grabbed Zuko's 2 fingers with his left hand and aimed for General Fong instead.
A bolt of lightning was now being shot at General Fong but he blocked it with an Earth Wall.
But luckily, Toph shot a boulder, knocking General Fong down.
All the soldiers came to his aid but at that very time:
1) Aang created a tornado.
2) Katara shot water jets.
3) Sokka knocked some soldiers.
4) Toph threw boulders.
5) Zuko shot fire blasts.
6) Mai trapped soldiers.
7) Iroh breathed fire.
8) Roku and Kyoshi made and erupted volcanoes.
They were all attacking General Fong's armies.
General Fong saw and said, "Look out!" but when the soldiers turned around, they got attacked.
After this battle, there were 230 soldiers captured.
"Okay, we have to go to the Boiling Rock first," said Katara.
Everybody agreed.

Summer- the "hottest" time of year, but it also becomes the time of traveling "cool" place. Coming with sea is a way to discard the hot of summer.
Where is Ky Co?
Located at the foothills of the towering Phương Mai mountain range in the peninsula town of Nhơn Lý in Quy Nhơn City, the pristine Ky Co beach is picturesque, possessing both majestic and poetic beauty. The beach attracts many tourists, especially the adventurous sorts, because it not only has enchanting scenery, but also various surprises.
Let's discovery the Beach
From downtown Quy Nhơn City, our group of 15 people set off together in a van on the Thị Nại bridge, turning left on the main road of the Nhơn Hội Economy Zone to get to Nhơn Lý Town on the other side of the peninsula
Carrying our food and essential items, we got on the boat of an old fisherman, Võ Ngọc Hiếu, to leave for Lý Lương Town. "We need to bring along all the things we may need because there is no tourism or food catering service available. There hasn't been any tour to the Kỳ Co beach yet," the fisherman said.
The boat sailed around Hòn Sẹo Hòn Cân giving us a glimpse of the islands before heading straight to Kỳ Co. The fishing town with little houses covered with earthy red-roof tiles and the pagoda with the solemn-looking Guan Yin statue in the middle of the mountain pass began to be visible. In front of us was the vast open space of the ocean and the Phương Mai mountain range that elegantly curved along the coastline.
We were all enchanted by the beautiful scenery along the journey and the 20-minute boat ride seemed to end in the blink of an eye. Only when the crescent-shaped long stretch of the white sandy shoreline along the foothills of the rocky mountains appeared, did we realise we were almost there.
Ky Co's Impression
My first impression of Kỳ Co is the rocks. They were everywhere: rows of rocks protruding towards the ocean, the towering rocky cliffs outside the cool rock caves, the rocks stacked along the stream flowing from the mountain top and many others in all shapes and sizes that were spread in different formations across the beach. All the rocks looked dry and coarse. The only foliage that could adapt to this dry terrain was grass and a few other bushy greens, which looked like patches of moss on the rocky cliffs.
Like a few other groups that had travelled earlier to Kỳ Co, we chose a spot near a rock cave to pitch our tents. Some four local friends accompanied our group and helped us start a fire and prepare the delicious seafood from the ocean in Nhơn Lý.
"Foodies in Quy Nhơn always prefer the seafood from Nhơn Lý area because of its superior freshness and flavor," Hiếu said.
While the food was being prepared, our group rushed to the beach to take a dip in the cool and fresh crystal-clear water of Kỳ Co that was ideal in the summer. Besides enjoying the water, the kids in the group looked for puddles of water hidden between the rocks to play with the small fish, while the adults went trekking along the rock pool to forage for fresh oysters, snails, sea urchins and sea cucumbers, all hidden between the rocks yet within arm's reach.
Our group remained on the beach and spread the fishnet. After spreading the net just twice in the area close to the seashore where the water level reached our chests, we had already caught a dozen fish – not bad at all for amateur fishermen like us.
Because of the hands-on experience in fishing, just like the local fishermen, and the freshness of the seafood that we had just caught, we truly relished all the dishes although they were cooked in a simple manner — grilled (fish, sea urchins) and boiled (snails). There was nothing better than enjoying some good food, singing to each other and listening to the waves crashing into the rock pool.
There was another fun surprise we enjoyed at Kỳ Co – bathing in the stream. The stream flowed from the mountain top, not too far from the ocean and right next to a small rock cave. Kỳ Co's unique natural beauty had enticed us enough to change our itinerary to visit this beach instead of the island at Hòn Sẹo so that we could enjoy the ocean and also take dip in the fresh water stream.
For summer coming, let come with this place, we sure that you would have a memorable experience in there. Moreover, we hope you would have a best time with your family and friend

[Warning: modest spoiler material for "X-Men: Days of Future Past" follows.]
I saw the new "X-Men" film over the weekend and generally agree with John Nolte's review, but I think my overall rating would be maybe half a star lower. As a bit of franchise filmmaking, "Days of Future Past" is almost without equal, because it rescues a fractured continuity, pulling its franchise together like the pieces of a broken plate.
The really great sequels – "Godfather II", "The Empire Strikes Back" – took an already great original and made the narrative even better, elevating the story to the stuff of legend. DOFP reboots some generally good films, cleans out a ton of continuity junk, and leaves its popular characters with a bright cinematic future (by which, of course, I mean an incredibly dark future for the characters, as anyone who sits through the credits of DOFP will get a taste of. If you don't understand the significance of that scene, ask the comics geek in your life to explain it for you.)
The continuity DOFP fixes was really messed up, so a round of applause is well-deserved for how neatly almost everything gets smoothed over by this film, with the arguable exceptions of the post-credits stinger in "The Wolverine" and the incomprehensible timeline of "X-Men Origins: Wolverine." I think the latter film gets beaten up more than it really deserves – it's a fast-paced revenge flick with a fairly straightforward plot, cleverly re-purposing Logan as a Seventies action hero – but it's overstuffed with half-baked supporting characters, and fitting it into the timeline established by the other films is enough to make even the casual viewer's brain melt. Maybe we can wave "Origins" off as one of those "time ripples" Beast talks about in "Days of Future Past."
But aside from giving the "X-Men" franchise a much-needed do-over and undoing some of the less satisfying story beats from the later installments, the new film works somewhat imperfectly as a movie in its own right. It's not structured as tightly as the franchise-best "X2," or the original "X-Men," which had the unrepeatable giddy delight of bringing beloved comic-book generation characters into the mainstream. Without the charm of going first, or the exhilaration of a great story firing on all cylinders as in "X2," DOFP is a less satisfying film.
Like so many movies these days, it's too long (although this summer's overstuffed butt-numbing chiropractor alert remains "The Amazing Spider-Man 2") and a bit too much of that running time is spent on conversations that rehash a few basic points. The script feels like it needed one last trip through the editing process to tighten it up. The whole movie needed to be as swift and sure as the show-stopping middle act with Quicksilver, whose outfit looked pretty goofy in publicity stills, but turns out to be far and away the best new character introduced into this franchise in years.
I'd have shifted some of the running time away from the Seventies and back to the dark future, which is never established well enough to feel like a world in its own right (something the original comics took pains to do.) The problem with limiting the future segments to a few minutes spent on two simple sets with less than a dozen characters is that it feels like a go-nowhere narrative that's going to get trimmed away, rather than a living, breathing universe. Meeting a few more of the people who live there – perhaps a brief scene or two with human officers, a scene that establishes that the terrifying Future Sentinels no longer really take "orders" from humans at all – would have raised the stakes, especially if one of those human characters was young and sympathetic, and we understood that his or her very existence was about to be erased.
It's also disappointing that the original "X-Men" cast is reduced to extended cameos at best in their swan song. I don't suppose we're going to see any of these actors in their roles again, other than Hugh Jackman, of course. The others all did great work selling their characters to both a skeptical mainstream audience and demanding hardcore fans, but some of them scarcely get any dialogue at all. (One of them literally does not get to say a word.) This movie is best understood as a sequel to "First Class," not so much the earlier "X-Men" films, although events from the unloved third film are referenced several times. It's not quite as dismissive of the classic cast as "Star Trek: Generations" was, but a bit more time spent in the dark future would have made it feel more like the crazy once-in-a-lifetime cast mashup it was supposed to be. (On the other hand, you've got to marvel – pardon the pun – at a film that gives an Oscar-winning actress about twenty words of dialogue.)
The Sentinels are a bit problematic as adversaries. They look great and certainly provide a proper sense of menace, but the unstoppable Future Sentinels are perhaps a bit too menacing – there's somewhat limited dramatic potential in unbeatable adversaries who can kill any of our heroes in a matter of moments, without the good guys really getting to land a single solid blow in return. (What, exactly, was the point of Bishop's 100 percent ineffective weapon? It didn't even slow the Sentinels down.) It certainly serves the plot purpose of the story, but judging this movie by itself as an action film, it bleeds off a bit of the excitement.
The Seventies versions really needed a bit more time to strut their stuff, given that some of the most iconic images from X-Men comics lore involve the team fighting those giant robots. The third-act plot twist of who ends up controlling the Sentinels doesn't even make sense according to the comic-book logic of building flying combat robots with Vietnam War-era technology. (Nobody checked those puppies out before putting them on a stage behind the President of the United States, huh?) A big finale in which the X-Men come together to battle the squad of prototype robots (and then Magneto pulls a dick move) would have been more satisfying. This movie would have done well to heed the advice given by Ken Watanabe's character over in the "Godzilla" film: "Let them fight!"
Don't get me wrong, "Days of Future Past" is A-list material, but I'd have to grade it an A-minus – a far better treatment of a beloved classic storyline than "The Last Stand" was, to be sure, and the least of its sins were the changes it made to the details of the original story, in which Kitty Pryde is the one who travels back in time, not Wolverine. It just didn't quite come together into a tight package the way franchise standouts "X2" and "First Class" did. It was an indispensable step toward getting the X-Men movies ship-shape for further installments, and say what you will about Bryan Singer, he really gets these characters – it's great that he got one more (one last?) chance to prove it. It's still amazing that two such excellent casts have been assembled to play these characters at different points in their lives; James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender definitely belong on the same stage as Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen, and they really hit the jackpot by catching Jennifer Lawrence at the right point in her career to handle Mystique.
But so help me, how on Earth did the DOFP screenwriters get Hugh Jackman's sole line of dialogue from "First Class" wrong during their big hilarious callback moment?

Why Get an Online Financial Advisor
Do you need advice in running your finances but don't have the time meeting a personal advisor?
You can look for Life's Great financial advisors online.
As an adult in the UK, who has a lot of responsibilities and obligations, your days and weeks may be filled with different tasks to finish, and you still have to balance work and family. At the same time, you also have to take care of your finances for a better financial stability and security in the future.
But again, you don't anymore have the time to study how to manage your finances. It will take time and you don't have time for that. You have business to think in mind and the welfare of your loved ones also. That is why financial advisers are there: to help you in managing your finances.
But what if again, that instead of meeting a financial advisor from time to time, you'd rather spend it with your family?
Did you know that you can spend time on other things and still get a financial advisor?
Yes, you can, as there already are financial advisors, online which can help you in your finances such as getting insurance, etc.
What Is an Online Financial Advisor?
An online financial advisor, or also known as a "robo-advisor" is an online financial management service that uses intelligent algorithms to automate financial advice online.
A robo advisor reads your profile and from that, gives you the best financial management solutions online that fits your current state and financial capability.
Online financial advisers typically work to those who do not yet have enough funds to get a personal adviser, or to those who do not have time to get and meet to discuss his/her finances.
What Are the Benefits of an Online Financial Adviser?
There are a lot of reasons why you should get a robo-advisor. Some of the big reasons are because:
1. Robo-Advisors Give Advice at a Less Expensive Rate
Hiring a traditional financial advisor can be quite costly, that is why only a few people get one. However, with the development of technology, online financial advisors have been developed. And because it is automatic, robo-advisors charge you almost the same as with other investors. With robo-advisors, you can be assured that you are only paying for the service that you're getting, and no more extra fees. Besides, robo-advisors calculate the charges using algorithms that read your status and your availed service, so you can be assured to get an objective and well-calculated calculated fees.
2. Easier Investing
When the robo-advisor has gotten your profile, it can easily read your financial state and can right away give you investment recommendations. Traditional advisors may refer to their "gut feels" on giving you advice on investments, but robo-advisors give you financial advice based on the market and investment patterns. This gives you a more objectified advice that is based on your best interest and financial capability.
Traditional financial advisers also prefer more financially capable clients which filter the majority of people such as in the UK. But with an online financial advisor, you can get help on managing your finances for your best interest at a less expensive rate and in a more convenient way.

Fresh from the fields of Delapre Primary School, Mr Wainwright, Mrs de Board and Mr Prosser were filled with a warm sense of pride on the back of our boys and girl sweeping through our local rivals like the wind!
It really was a display of 'total rugby' as our 12-strong squad sustained the perfect balance of play throughout.
Benito, Isaac and Tom Curry left opposing defenders chasing shadows.
Tom Mariner, Ryan Goody, Kyle, Jagvir, The Williams and George Gammage were 'beast' in the tackle.
Kasey Wright was the tactical anchor of the team…
…and George Kennedy…just made it look so easy!
The spirit amongst the squad was exemplary and was reflected on the field of play. Out of 6 games, we won 5 and drew the other…a 5-5 draw with the hosts. Despite being 2-0 down early on, Simon de Senlis fought back to take a 5-4 lead before conceding in the last second of play.
The results were as follows:
Simon de Senlis 6 – 3 Hunsbury Park
Simon de Senlis 7 – 1 Briar Hill
Simon de Senlis 5 – 5 Delepre A
Simon de Senlis 7 – 1 Abbey Primary
Simon de Senlis 6 – 3 Queen Eleanor
Simon de Senlis 6 – 4 Delapre B
With the NSSP tag-rugby tournament at the end of November looming, we are looking slick and in great shape!
The school are very proud of you ALL.
Vive Les Oeuf-Fleurs!

Christmas Cone Centerpiece
This has been SUCH an incredible week - Sharon has shared cards, home decor projects, techniques, and more with us. I hope you have come away with some wonderful ideas and inspiration! Sharon's last project is a gorgeous Christmas cone centerpiece that can be created to match any decor. Set it on your table and enjoy it all season long!
tree shaped styrofoam cone
two sheets patterned paper
die cutting machine
Xyron Creative Station (any size)
glue pen
star die cut
Xyron 1.5" Sticker Maker (also known as the X)
star sequins
Start with your cone and two sheets of patterned paper.
Use your die cutting machine to cut out approximately 100 2" trangles. Run them all through your Xyron (for this project Sharon used the Creatopia).
Before removing the triangles from the backing sheet, use a glue pen around the edges and sprinkle with glitter.
Starting at the base build up the triangle layers and curl up the tips.
Run the star die cut through your X and apply glitter to the adhesive side. Run through X again with the glittered side facing up and repeat.
Run the star sequins through the X.
Place one in the center of each triangle.

Exploring Waterfalls of Agra Oya (Elgin Falls)
Elgin falls is a 25m waterfall located in Ambewela. Agra oya starts from Black pool and creates three waterfalls. Waterfall is visible to the Badulla railway track.
Tracing the path from Ambewela to Dayagama
Ambewela is called little New Zealand of Sri Lanka. The climatic conditions of Ambewela make it an ideal location for dairy farming in Sri Lanka. It has highest (in attitude) and largest grasslands in Sri Lanka.
From Wildlife to Forest – Kande Ela & Pattipola…
The constant rains made it pretty awkward for us but it wasn't going to hold us back. So finally as usual we set off on our journey in the dawn of 16 Oct. The topic of the day was based on the wildlife in Borneo such as Bearded Pigs, Orang-Utans, etc. We stopped at our usual place at the Devon Viewing Point. As usual she was in full flow making my heart leap in joy. She also made my hopes soar high in anticipation of seeing my beloved St. Claire in full flow. "Dear god, please let her be in full flow even if you have to blast the darn sluice gates of the wretched Upper Kotmale", I prayed while we took our breakfast baskets of Seeni Sambol and Egg Sandwiches. I'm sure you would wanna see some pictures of the surrounding and it is my pleasure to oblige.
Train journey to Bandarawela…..
The long weekend at the end of July was long awaited as it's the only long weekend for 2015 until Christmas. We planned a train trip to up-country with cousins, an annual event during August school holidays. However for the 31st the train was fully booked so we had to reserve the train for the 30th – which gave us a bonus day to enjoy the cool climes.
The Repeat Performance – Kirigalpoththa & Thotupola…
I woke up and lowered the blanket covering me and a rain of needles hit my exposed skin. Oh dear, I'm in HP, it suddenly dawned on me. There was a light moving out of the room and it made me feel jittery. Getting out of the bed and landing my feet on the ground sent another dose of needles up my body. It was so cold (probably around 10-degrees) and I followed the light out of the room to find Ana already up and getting ready to make some coffee. The time had just gone 4.30am and I was shivering when I entered the kitchen. There wasn't any sign of the bungalow keepers (they can't have ever had their guests waking up at 4.30am) and I waited with my feet up for a steaming cup of coffee.
Atha and Prasa were still sound asleep and I went back to wake them up. It was very cold and we sipped at our scalding coffee hugging ourselves so tight. The caretakers got a shock when they appeared around 5.30am to see us up and about. I guess this was a great shock for them and they got very busy making our breakfast while we washed in the freezing water and got ready to leave while the sun was beginning his painting class towards the east.
Memorable trip to world's end
We, my self-my wife and two kids, started from Kandy at about 7 in the morning. Journey to Nuwara Eliya was eventless through beautiful mountains and tea estates. We reached Nuwara Eliya at about 10 in the morning. On the way to Horton Plains was also through beautiful farms.
Invaded by the Mist – Rail Hike Stage 04…
I've seen mist before but lemme tell you that I've never seen something like this. The world around us was nothing but grey white and the odd black shadows of all kinds of trees were barely visible. We were practically crawling at a snail's speed and it was no better than feeling your way in the dark. However we were intrigued by what we saw.
Eventually Tony had to get a torch and lower the shutter and aim at the edge of the road so that we wouldn't fall into a drain. However lowering the glass made our hair stand on its ends and froze our exposed skin.
The Enchanting March to the Milky-Rocky-Slab – Kirigalpoththa…
After a long journey we were finally almost on top. We reached an opening about 100ft below the summit where it gave a 180-degree panoramic view. This is where you can get the best view more than even the summit coz the summit point is covered to a certain extent by trees. We rested our tortured legs and had our energy bars and drinks giving us a boost for the rest of the day. I took hundreds of pics and managed to get Tony to do a short documentary too.
A Trip to Nuwara Eliya via Misty Mountains of Mandaramnuwara
We managed to reach Padiyapelalla via Kandy and Hanguranketha by about noon but the road condition was bad due to the road constructions that were taking place at that time.It was gloomy and raining in the morning which made us scared of a trip spoiled by rain. From Padiyapelalla we went to MA Eco bungalow at Elamulla and this stretch of road was carpeted and in very good condition. We were warmly welcomed by the manager of bungalow Mr. Janaka
Five Have Plenty of Fun – Rail Hike Stage 03…
Having stocked our larder with rice and curry and noodles, we reached at the Ambewela at moderate 8.45am and got the permission from the SM to park our car and leave it there. He was very willingly agreed and the Colombo-bound Podi Menike was arriving at the station and then sat waiting for the signal to run along.
Having stored water bottles, meal packs, portable cooker of Prasa and other essential items into our back packs, we left Ambewela towards Nanu Oya through the lush green patches of Ambewela farm.
Divided between Two Giants and a Million Petals
"Apparently there are 30 different kinds of Nelu and 24 of which are endemic to Sri Lanka"
We jumped out and headed towards the summit of Thotupola with an elevation about 200ft over 2km stretch. It was a sight to treasure for the rest of our lives. We were simply speechless and kept walking through dense forest patches till we reached a bit open area and the sight was simply outstanding. So many mountains were visible and Adam's Peak was standing tall and majestic in the horizon with her distinct shape. Kirigalpoththa and the undocumented Agra-Bopath were standing next to each other.
Seven Wanderers – Rail Hike Stage 02…
The sun was out and it was around 6.45am when we set off and I heard a dog shouting from the top of his voice to find out it was actually a puppy tied into a pole. He was making a big fuss wanting to be free and run about, looking very sad. I felt very sorry for the fellow but there was nothing I could do for him. The surrounding was lush green as the railway track lies through the Horton Plains.

Who are the Parents Anyway?
You see it all the time at the mall or the grocery store. It happens at home and in public. It happens on nights and weekends. It is a 24/7 phenomenon and it is all about Darwinism. The weak perish and the strong survive. The most significant problem is that I am talking about the parent child relationship and all the power being on the wrong side of the scale.
There is very little in life that is more disastrous than when a child has more power than a parent and the parents are unwilling or unable to change the dynamic. Parents must be parents and they cannot be their child's friend. Kids have friends their own age for that. Parents must be parents. Even when it is hard.
Children thrive when limits are set. As much as kids will naturally push limits they will also thrive with limit setting. When parents have an inability to set limits and live by those limits, it is under those circumstances that parents lose control of their kids. There are bad children out there who are bad independently of their parents but for the most part "bad" kids are created by bad parenting.
As kids get older and the dynamics between them become more rooted it becomes even harder for the parents to change the flow of power. Now fast forward to a teen or adolescent or young adult who has a drug and behavioral problem. Imagine how impossible it is for a parent to step in and have any impact on changing their child's behavior or getting them to even participate in a treatment program. More often than not if the child actually enters a program it is incredibly important that a large part of that program is spent on changing the parent/child relationship. Parents have to relearn how to be parents and kids have to relearn how to be kids.
