"Mozzie bites and a bit of peace" Katrinaoliver's photos around Orchha, India Saturday, April 30, 2011

A TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow of a travel blog to Orchha, India by TravelPod blogger Katrinaoliver titled "Mozzie bites and a bit of peace!". TravelPod is a company of TripAdvisor™. Katrinaoliver's travel blog entry: "On Monday we left Delhi in the early morning for a train ride to Agra. This was the first time we had actually had to put our backpacks on and carry them anywhere ourselves! I fell backwards when I first put mine on! We departed from a different station to what we had been through before but the system was the same. We travelled in the Chair Car on the Taj Mahal Express and whilst it wasn't anywhere near as good as the Shatabdi Express to Amritsar it was fine. That said I did hear an Argentian lady proclaiming that she had just seen a mouse after which none of her Brazilian companions would put their feet down! Me neither! The journey was just over 3 hours and passed quickly. When we arrived in Agra two jeeps picked us up and transfered us to the hotel. We were just 200m from the Taj Mahal with a stunning rooftop view. The rest of the day was a little repetitive for us as it was a return visit to Agra Fort and then the Taj Mahal. It was actually quite good to revisit these two major attractions as we were able to relax a bit more. We also visited a rug making factory and whilst the work was astounding it wasn't really to our taste! We chose to visit the Taj at sunset having been for sunrise last time. It was lovely to see it in the different light and ...

"Sucre" Stubo's photos around Sucre, Bolivia Friday, April 29, 2011

A TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow of a travel blog to Sucre, Bolivia by TravelPod blogger Stubo titled "Sucre". TravelPod is a company of TripAdvisor™. Stubo's travel blog entry: "10/4/08 Sucre - what a great place. I left La Paz on a bad looking bus but it was an ok journey. Im paraniod about getting my stuff stolen (just because i know how poor the Bolivians are) so I stowed EVERYTHING down by my feet. I was chatting to an old woman in traditional dress in the bus station in La Paz and she was sat next to me on the bus. She was massive and took most of my seat so that coupled with the stuff all by my feet there wasnt much room to even breath! Just to show the estent of the weather at this altitude I was still freezing wedged in between the Woman, the seat and my bags! Anoyingly the bus went bia Potosi (my next destination) so ive had to do a tiny bit of backtracking but I arived in Sucre, hopped on a micro (after asking some army dude which one), got of att eh right placve and walked into a nice (if slightly expensive) place in a perfect location right next to the central plaza and the market. I then realised I had time to go to do a tour. I arived at 8.30 at the bus station 7km from town and at 9.30 I was queing to get on a tour! I went straight out to see some dinosaur tracks. 6km from Sucre they found loads of Dinosaur tracks in a mine. They were blasting away and they saw it - quite increadible! The tracks are up a wall as when the plates colided they pushed the ...

A TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow of a travel blog to Winnipeg, Canada by TravelPod blogger Beyondwpg titled "Preparation" Beyondwpg's travel blog entry: "One more week and I board a plane to Quito, Ecuador. Even though I've known about this trip for over three years, I've only really started planning and preparing for it in the last few weeks. I booked my airfare at the end of July and have been on a spending spree ever since. New clothes, backpack, sleeping bag, hiking boots and a bunch of other gear that will hopefully make my life easier over the next six months. Sometime back around the middle of August I sent an email to friends telling them that I planned on going for a hike every weekend until I left. Well things got a little hectic and I've only managed one hike so far. My boots weren't extremely comfortable but they're ging to need a little break-in time so I'm hopeful. I think I'll get one more day hike done before I leave and will have a bette ridea how the boots will fair. They're Zamberlan Trek Lite 2.. if you have a pair, let me know how they've worked out for you. I've uploaded a few pics from my hike here in Manitoba so that other travelers can see a bit of where I come from and to see how this site works. The hike was a 10km out and back that starts in the old town of Senkiw near Roseau River. Nothing rugged or challenging but it was a beautiful day and an enjoyable hike. Apparently the trail is an old school path. Children used to cross the river in a ...

We were ready to go and in a cab by 4:35. We had to assure the driver that we would pay the 45 bhat (less than $2) for the toll and agreed to pay by the meter (it came to 230 bhat or $10). We checked in with Air Asia and shared a bagel with bacon, egg and cheese. We were able to jump on the internet for 10 mins on the 2nd floor at CAT. After we checked in we boarded a bus that took us to our plane. Bill and I both had window seats, so we had a nice view of the city as we departed. We were even able to pick out our favourite park - Pee Pee Park, from the sky. Shortly thereafter, we were able to see some mountains and then I took a nap. The flight should have been less than an hour, but due to fog, we circled for more than an hour. I was awakened when we were hundreds of meters from the ground and our pilot pulled up and circled one more time. I was awake after that! We finally landed, an hour or more, late. It is going to be between 32 and 37 degrees and sunny in Yangon all week. It does cool down at night into the 20's, so that is good. I was getting hungry and decided to grab a bun with chicken at the airport. I did not have the local currency yet, so I tried to use some US singles. The cashier carefully scrutinized the money and even gave some back to me. This ...

I am SMELLY!!! We camped every night in the mountains- so that meant no showers... and the long hikes meant sweaty and stinky bodies!!! One person in our group took a quick rinse in one of the ice cold rivers, I couldn't believe it because the water was sooooo cold. I opted to stay nice and dry but stinky, as did the others in our group! I still think I made the right choice, although the person sitting next to me on the return bus ride may not have agreed. Every morning we had to start trekking by 8am which meant that we had to get up by 7am... which doesn't seem like it should be a problem- but when we were camping above 4000 meters that means it is mighty cold once the sun goes down in the evening- and trying to get out of a warm and toasty sleeping bag when it is icy cold outside is TOUGH!!! I had never felt more like a snug, bug in a rug in all of my life. The worst thing was putting on FREEZING clothes... I would hop around like a crazy person until my body temperature warmed up what I was wearing. I "wised" up the second night and placed my clothes for the following morning inside my sleeping bag to keep warm... it helped... a tiny bit! The trail we followed ...

"Stuck on Fansipan without a rain jacket" Filly's photos around Sapa, Vietnam Tuesday, April 19, 2011

A TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow of a travel blog to Sapa, Vietnam by TravelPod blogger Filly titled "Stuck on Fansipan without a rain jacket" Filly's travel blog entry: "Took a night train to Sapa from Hanoi with two German guys I met on my Halong Bay tour. All I had in mind was a small bit a trekking to some villages with a home stay. However I was tempted by the Fansipan mountain climb when the boys decided to do it. It meant staying an extra night but I figured I'd make up the time elsewhere. Sapa is a town in northern Vietnam only 30km from the Chinese border. There is still a lot of ethnic minority communities living there including the the Hmung, Black Mung and Dao tribes. It is a mountainous region and the area is famous for its terraced rice fields. They are quite a striking sight but unfortunately when I was there, there wasn't much visability due to the poor weather. Farming is tough here and very manual, apparantly the men and women carry up to 50kg of rice on their back during harvest up and down the terraces. The Black Mung community have taken to selling there crafts on the streets of Sapa. The young women follow tourists around for hours (in a friendly way) but eventually enfource the hard sell. They are very friendly and speak suprisingly good english but I found it a little off putting. It makes tourism in the area seem a bit sleezy. Apparantly there is free schooling for the mung children but most of the girls are sent to sell on the street instead ...

Disaster Supplies Kit Monday, April 18, 2011

savant7.com FEMA video on how to stock a disaster supply kit. Be prepared in case of emergency. You may need to survive on your own after a disaster. This means having your own food, water, and other supplies in sufficient quantity to last for at least three days. Local officials and relief workers will be on the scene after a disaster, but they cannot reach everyone immediately. You could get help in hours, or it might take days. Basic services such as electricity, gas, water, sewage treatment, and telephones may be cut off for days, or even a week or longer. Or, you may have to evacuate at a moments notice and take essentials with you. You probably will not have the opportunity to shop or search for the supplies you need. A disaster supplies kit is a collection of basic items that members of a household may need in the event of a disaster. The following items are recommended for inclusion in your basic disaster supplies kit: * Three-day supply of non-perishable food. * Three-day supply of water - one gallon of water per person, per day. * Portable, battery-powered radio or television and extra batteries. * Flashlight and extra batteries. * First aid kit and manual. * Sanitation and hygiene items (moist towelettes and toilet paper). * Matches and waterproof container. * Whistle. * Extra clothing. * Kitchen accessories and cooking utensils, including a can opener. * Photocopies of credit and identification cards. * Cash and coins. * Special needs items, such as ...

Attention! 1. Don't give this game to pregnant women, children under 12, mentally unstable people! 2. Increase volume level of your device to the maximum before the next experiment! 3. Watch out your device, it can be thrown away! PS Prepare dry underwear:) Description: Very old joke, new realization, now on iPad and iPhone.

If anyone does not remember the rules of the game it is simple: try to find differences on two almost identical pictures, in our game you can offer 3 pictures with 3,5 or 7 differences. After 15-20 second full concentration on the screen and searching for non-existent differences:) suddenly horrific monster will appear with an appropriate soundtrack. Of course for maximum effect all should take place in a calm atmosphere with the maximum increased volume on device.Don't experiment on dogs and children (actually we have ignored this rule:) ) Enjoy a frightened look of "objects" of your experiments and measure their level of fear! Also there is an opportunity to share their success on Twitter and Facebook.

POLITICS INFOCUS Homeless not hopeless + Suicide or murder? Thursday, April 14, 2011

Homelessness is reaching further into the nation's suburban heartland, with emergency accommodation services reporting unprecedented demand from everyday families unable to pay mortgages and rent. The need for beds is so great that some welfare groups are giving away sleeping bags. In the NSW city of Newcastle, three destitute families have pitched tents in friends' backyards, and a mother and her two children were reportedly living under canvas in a park. Hostel and emergency shelter providers routinely turn away people seeking help due to a lack of facilities. At Newcastle's Wesley City Mission, client services manager Tony Scully is handing out three sleeping bags a week because he cannot place any more people in its 94 bed-sitter style units. The waiting list stretches to at least three months. Increasingly, the calls for help are coming from what Mr Scully calls "everyday families". In most cases, they had been unable to pay the mortgage or rent, and had nowhere else to go. Last week it was a couple and their four children, who had been living in a car after the father lost his job, fell behind with home repayments and the bank foreclosed. "People who have been working, driving a car and doing pretty well for themselves are now knocking on our door," Mr Scully said. He is still trying to trace the homeless woman he heard about last week, who had pitched a tent in a park in nearby Lake Macquarie with her two young children. Mr Scully said three other families were ...

Big Hug - Sensory Therapy, Deep Pressure Positioning Aid Tuesday, April 12, 2011

This is an informative video on the Big Hug which is a sensory therapy, deep pressure positioning aid. The Big Hug was ergonomically designed to comfort, calm and redirect the energy of children and adults living with Autism or who are Cognitively Disabled and would benefit from deep pressure therapy. The Big Hug has been found to be effective because it allows the caregiver to simultaneously apply different amounts of soft, wrap- around pressure to six separate areas of the body. The caregiver or user is then able to release the Big Hug's wraps after the desired amount of individualized sensory needs are obtained.

WIDE AWAKE : The Boy Who COULDN'T SLEEP | Toddler Medical Mystery | ABC News Tuesday, April 5, 2011

A toddler who can't sleep undergoes risky, life-changing surgery. | Not long ago, saying goodnight to his mom and dad was nearly impossible for 3-year-old Rhett Lamb. In a case that baffled doctors, Rhett was awake nearly 24 hours a day. "His body would give out but his mind wouldn't; he'd still be awake," said Rhett's mom, Shannon Lamb. "He'd still be alert. It was extremely scary." One of the side effects of Rhett's lack of sleep was bad behavior. "He was in a bad mood all the time," Lamb said. "He couldn't play, he didn't interact with other children. His frustration level was so high, and it just kept getting worse and worse and worse. He couldn't communicate with anyone. It was heartbreaking." Rhett's temper got so bad he would hit his mother, even giving her black eyes. "He would hit you, he would bite you, he would head butt you and anything else around him, and you didn't know from one minute to the next what was going to happen," she said. Rhett's dad David Lamb said, "It was like he was losing his mind and there was nothing we could do to help him." The Lambs, who live in St. Petersburg, Fla., arranged opposite work shifts so one of them could stay home and take care of Rhett. "You get to the point where you can't function anymore and you can't think straight, and you get up in the morning and you take a shower to go to work and you drive to work and you're a robot," Shannon Lamb said. "You are an absolute robot. And then you dread coming home 'cause you know ...

Nor, as I write, can I believe the experience gifted to me. Words are limited to fully describe all that took place during 5 days traveling in Athos (Agion Oros). Much of what I experienced, I will keep close to my heart and soul; for these experiences were truly mine. Yet, what I do share I think you might agree was a true gift. One would have thought, especially me, that given the rare opportunity I had to enter Mt. Athos as a non-Orthodox, I would have "planned" a bit better and in some ways I thought I had but, truly it was not to be my plan that was to transpire. Only 10 non-Orthodox men per day are allowed to enter Athos and those that do must be because they provided a substantial reason six months in advance and received permission from the Pilgrims Office of Athos. Which I had done. Women are not allowed into Athos because of the story and tradition identify Athos as the Garden of the Virgin Mary. Rather than me ...
