My first African flower cushion......... I don't believe I did it....!
Fun mixed with backache !!!!!!!
(The actual lines are – “In solitude, where we are least alone.”)
I have often seen an eagle hovering alone around the sun. And for some inexplicable reason, it keeps drawing me like a giant magnet. And every time that I have let myself being led, I have found great peace just watching the entire scene… If I had to tell you the one moment that I like the most when I sit watching it for hours, I’d say, every moment that the bird faces the sun & glows with its warmth, is a moment I treasure.
I love the company of these two… and the way they go about their life quietly… Isn’t it a wonder!
Life is beautiful in moments. And even when they all add up..

Mukutmanipur's undulating forested landscape marked by the vibrant colours of Palash and Sonajhuri trees is refreshing and invigorating for the body and mind. It is marked by the prominent hillock about 200metres high, locally named "Baroghutu" (Baro- twelve, ghutu-/stones/hill). The tribal hamlets of Baroghutu, Jambeda, Kumorbahal, Dhagora and Mukutmanipur encircle this hillock. With a landscape that seems naturally designed for adventure, Mukutmanipur offers opportunities in rock climbing, trekking and a variety of water sports.
The local festivals, Tusu, Bhadu, Sahrai and Badna are symbolized by much music and dance, and strengthen the Mukutmanipur experience, laden with the relaxed air of nature in the heartland. The Bankura district has a tribal population famous for its music, art and culture. Mukutmanipur is one such quaint village. The community will provide the tourist with a life that is stress free.
Palash(Butea monosperma) is a species of Butea native to tropical and sub-tropical parts of the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia, ranging across India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, and western Indonesia. Common names include Palash, Dhak, Palah, Flame of the Forest, Bastard Teak, Parrot Tree, Keshu (Punjabi) and Kesudo (Gujurati).
It starts blooming end of JAN and arround mid March it is in full bloom. Perhaps the most attractive flower of the season. When in full bloom, it is a sight to behold ! The mountain ranges are transformed into a spectacular phenomenon making them appear as if the flames of saffron-red colors are leaping from them. No wonder the tree is also known as-and aptly so- ' Flame Of The Forest '. In West Bengal, it is associated with spring, especially through the poems and songs of Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore, who likened its bright orange flame-like flower to fire. In Santiniketan, where Tagore lived, this flower has become an indispensable part of the celebration of spring. The plant has lent its name to the town of Palashi, famous for the historic Battle of Plassey fought there.
It is a medium sized dry season-deciduous tree, growing to 15 m tall. It is a slow growing tree, young trees have a growth rate of a few feet per year. The leaves are pinnate, with an 8–16 cm petiole and three leaflets, each leaflet 10–20 cm long. The flowers are 2.5 cm long, bright orange-red, and produced in racemes up to 15 cm long. The fruit is a pod 15–20 cm long and 4–5 cm broadIt is said that the tree is a form of Agnidev, God of Fire. It was a punishment given to Him by Goddess Parvati for disturbing Her and Lord Shiva's privacy. In the Telangana region of Andhra Pradesh, these flowers are specially used in the worship of Lord Shiva on occasion of Shivratri. In Telugu, this tree is called Modugu chettu.
In Kerala, this is called 'plasu' and 'chamata'. Chamata is the vernacular version of Sanskrit word 'Samidha', small piece of wood that is used for 'agnihotra' or fire ritual. In most of the old namboodiri (Kerala Brahmin) houses, one can find this tree because this is widely used for their fire ritual.

Medicinal value
The medicinal values of Palash have long been acknowledged in our ancient scriptures. Gum secreting from its bark cures Mucus Dysentery, Acidity & many stomach ailments. Its seeds are useful in treatment of worms and intestinal bacteria. ' Panchang ' of Palash or ash prepared from its five parts i.e. leaves, flowers, seeds, skin and root cures urinary tract, Obesity, Kidney problems, Backache & many more ailments. Highly esteemed by the ancient sages and modern researchers, the miraculous Palash, like Tulas, has no parallels. ( www.palashayurvedictreatment.com/palash.htm).
I saw this at a kite festival adjacent to Redland Bay. This kite is actually massive and is being towed by a power boat.
If you look very closely, you can see multiple towlines attached to the head.
In case you thought that Australia was in need of more deadly animals, spare a thought for the famous box jellyfish, which developed its frighteningly powerful venom to instantly stun or kill prey, like fish and shrimp, so their struggle to escape wouldn’t damage its delicate tentacles.
It is pale blue and transparent and their tentacles can grow to more than 3m long, and the venom is considered to be among the most deadly in the world, containing toxins that attack the heart, nervous system, and skin cells. It is so overpoweringly painful, human victims have been known to go into shock and drown or die of heart failure before even reaching shore. Survivors can experience considerable pain for weeks and often have significant scarring where the tentacles made contact.
You have virtually no chance of surviving the venomous sting, unless treated immediately.
If you thought that was bad enough, then it gets worse. The Irukandji jellyfish is only about 2cm in diameter.
The initial sting of the jellyfish is usually not very painful. But about 5-45 (usually 30) minutes after being stung, the person starts to have a severe backache or headache and shooting pains in their muscles, chest and abdomen. They may also feel nauseous, anxious, restless and vomit. In rare cases, the victim suffers pulmonary oedema (fluid on the lungs) which could be fatal if not treated.
These 2 dangerous creatures normally inhabit the northern part of the state, where the beaches are pristine and the water inviting. Perfect conditions for a cool dip right.
Unfortunately, and unusually, there incidents of attack have now been reported much closer to the south much closer to Brisbane, so the smug smiles we have had for years are now disappearing.
So pack your bags and head for Australia. Where the bloody hell are you ?

These Leaves of Lotus flowers filled the Pond outside the "Yoga Narasinga Perumal Temple". I was extremely tired after shooting and walking around the temple for an hour together. I could not do anything more since i had a bad backache and i did not notice this pond while leaving the place. Whilst i was just about to get into the van my mom came running and insisted i shoot the lotus flowers and the pond, she usually does not ask for favors but this being a very sincere request from her i got down from the van and i unpacked the camera bag. Went to this pond and it was quite beautiful, lied down on the wall of this pond to get a close up of these leaves, shot a few. I think it was worth all the pain and effort taken.

Office Workers.
Comfort For Girl Clerks.
Why do so many employers still cling to the old fetish that it is unbusinesslike to make an office comfortable? It is a mystery to every woman who goes to work in the city (writes a correspondent in a London newspaper).
When she enters a business office she is prepared to put up with a long day's work in a stuffy city atmosphere. She even expects, in consequence, to get a bad headache now and again. But why, in the name of common sense, should she also have to put up with a continual backache from sitting on a hard, wooden, straight-backed chair the whole day long?
Many office workers are worse off still; they frequently have to sit at high desks on tall stools without any backs to them at all. The chief himself usually has a handsomely-furnished private room, with a thick, warm, carpet on the floor, a cheerful fire, a comfortably-padded chair, and he sits at a desk exactly the right height for him. Most successful business men manage to get through a tremendous amount of solid work in these "cosy" surroundings, which enable them to "carry on" with the minimum of weariness.
Would it not be sound policy, therefore, to provide all office workers with comfortable chairs, with tables and desks of the proper height, electric lights in the right position, and with plenty of windows that open easily and give a good light during the daytime?

5.30am- I've had backaches for the 2nd time in just a few weeks for the first time in my life. Not even heavily pregnant did I get any aches and pains. So I've decided exercise has to be the solution and it goes well with my diet ;-) I went for a run... It never occured to me that running could be bad and now I feel great!

With the crazy gloomy weather going on outside for the past few days, it could be quite a challenge to determine the direction of light, especially in a financial district filled with nothing but tall buildings.
Without doubt, this image is definitely an exception. A building was included in the foreground in order to add some depth to the shot.
Without having to use a bulky tripod, this gives me a greater versatility in composing my shot (and not having to complain about backaches). Phew!
Do enjoy!
my 2nd visit to Broga Hill with naza (the dude can walk in total darkness!) ... not so lucky this time as the sun decided to a no-show. Cloudy and thick mist ... feels very much like Genting Highlands :)
... 2 days had passed and no muscle pain and backache like the 1st time. haha, i must be fit!
till next time baby :)
This plant is one of the most talked about in the ethnobotanical world because it has a strong reputation as a cure for cancer and now increasingly as an immune booster in the treatment of HIV/AIDS. Research on its properties is ongoing.
It has long been known, used and respected as a medicinal plant in southern Africa. The original inhabitants of the Cape, the Khoi San and Nama people, used it mainly as a decoction for the washing of wounds and took it internally to bring down fevers. The early colonists regarded it as giving successful results in the treatment of chicken pox, stomach problems, and in the treatment of internal cancers. It is also known to have been used in the treatment of eye troubles, the eyes being bathed with a decoction of the plant. It continues to be used to this day as a remedy for the above-mentioned ailments. It is still used as a wash for wounds, to bring down fevers, to treat chicken pox, for internal cancers, and farm workers in the Cape still use it to treat eye troubles. It is also used to treat colds, flu, asthma, bronchitis, rheumatism, rheumatoid arthritis and osteo-arthritis, liver problems, haemorrhoids, piles, bladder, uterus & 'women's' complaints, diarrhoea & dysentery, stomach ailments, heartburn, peptic ulcers, backache, diabetes, varicose veins and inflammation. It is also used in the treatment of mental and emotional stress, including irritability, anxiety and depression and is used as a gentle tranquillizer. It is said to be a useful bitter tonic and that a little taken before meals will aid digestion and improve the appetite. It is considered to be a good general medicine.

I love a trip to Cozumel!
CUAUHXICQLLI is from Tenochtitlan, Cuidad de Mexico in the Region Altiplano Central. A cultural relic that has been relocated to the Chankanaab State Park. Development of this park never fails to amaze me when we visit. Of course, now it is being developed with the tourista in mind and the next feature will be a fairly long zip line that they're working on now. When seas and water temp makes it appealing this is one of the spots we always enjoy snorkeling.

shouldn't really have done any sewing this weekend as I've had exhausting backache all week...but it stopped me climbing the walls (metaphorically speaking of course!)

Camel Pose pose or Ustrasana- a deep back bend. It can be modified by bringing your hands to the low back or reaching only with one hand to one foot then repeating on the second side. It is not for those with high or low blood pressure, migraine, insomnia or serious low back or neck injuries. Therapeutic applications: respiratory ailments, mild backache, fatigue, anxiety, and menstrual pain. To intensify/deepen this pose, one can flatten the front of the feet and reach the hands as low as the body feels comfortable. If too intense practice other back bends: cobra, bow, bridge, upward dog, hero postures...
One of my colleagues has this flower in his office. It's Datura innoxia (sometimes erroneously called Datura Meteloides) Datura Meteloides. It contains atropine, a powerful belladonna alkaloid which is an antidote for serin (nerve gas). It's been used in "traditional medicine to alleviate toothache and backache.

MADE IN ENGLAND
Triumph 750 Twins
Triumph's T140 Bonneville and TR7 Tiger 750s are the obvious choice for a first British classic bike. Here's why...
First off, they don't cost a fortune, so you can try an old Brit bike to see if you enjoy the experience without mortgaging the cat. Second, there are heaps of 750 Triumphs on the market at any time, so you have plenty to pick and choose between.
Production of the 750s started in 1973 with the twin-carb T140V Bonneville and the single-carb TR7V Tiger, direct descendants from the Speed Twin all those decades earlier. The first few 750s were actually 724cc but the vast majority are 744cc (76mm by 82mm) from 1974-onwards. The 750 Triumphs do everything fairly well although they tend not to excel at one thing in particular - apart, perhaps, from steering rather more sharply than some lumbering four-cylinder contemporaries from overseas.
The affordable Bonneville looks and sounds like a proper British bike, and makes a stab at a modern spec with five gears, indicators, disc front brake, and an electric start on ES models from 1980. T140s tend to be somewhat smoother than the preceding 650 twins with marginally more power and a better spread of torque. In keeping with the times, the gearchange lever moved to the left hand side in 1976 so they feel faintly familiar for riders of modern machinery. The rear brake changed to a disc from a drum at the same time.
By 1976, NVT were marketing the 750 as 'the bike that created its own legend.' The big Bonnie engine was 'redesigned to cope with the extra power with new and stronger pistons, bigger oil pumps, stiffer rods, and so on. All adding up to smooth, effortless Triumph power.' Reassuringly, the top end still sounds like a proper Triumph: it's not broken, they all do that, Sir.
The suspension boasted 'race bred forks to give that certainty of handling under all conditions' with two-way hydraulic damping and a sensible set of gaiters. Actually, the 750s do benefit from sure-footed and predictable steering, so the blurb didn't exaggerate too much. Mind you, it was probably going a bit to extremes to claim that the 10-inch front disc was 'massive', and few of them feel 'powerful' or particularly 'smooth' today despite the Lockheed calipers. But there are plenty of available braking upgrades if you wish to improve stopping power.
The 1976 TR7 Tiger combined 'the traditional virtues of thoroughbred handling with a power bonus from the bigger engine. Single carb design provides miserly fuel consumption of up to 75mpg with fuss free reliability.' Like the T140, it ran at 7.9:1 compression with alloy conrods, plain big end bearings and ball and roller mains; used a multiplate clutch, triplex primary chain, welded oil bearing frame with taper roller head bearings, had a seat height of 31 inches, seven inches of ground clearance and weighed around 415lb (189kg) dry.
Electronic ignition arrived in 1979 and you would definitely want to fit a modern sparky system (there's plenty of choice available) rather than rely on the contact breaker set-up which can be tiresome to time accurately. In 1980 the Bonneville was voted 'Bike of the Year' by both weekly UK papers and was still selling steadily. The majority of the specification remained unchanged, but weight crept up to 430lb for the electric-start models and there were some tweaks - like moving the rear brake caliper away from road spray to improve its performance in the hissing rain.
There's even an eight-valve version, the TSS (which you should avoid unless you're a dab hand with the spanners and enjoy untangling top end traumas), and some attractive special editions like the 1977 Jubilee, the Royal, the luggage-laden Executive, and the extremely handsome Tiger Trail of 1981.
Depending on which model you prefer you'll get a choice of single or twin discs, cast or spoke wheels, high or low bars, single or twin carb, and so on. American-spec models feature sharper styling than the slab-sided Brit equivalents but the UK bikes benefit from a full-size four-gallon petrol tank: depends whether you want the bike to go a long distance or just look spiffy… UK models had low bars, generating generations of backache, while the US model, with its high bars and peanut tank, revealed why Meriden's engineers placed the footrests where they did; it all makes sense with the high bars.
The final, Devon-built Bonnies bridge the gap between Meriden and Hinckley and feature twin Brembos on the Paioli front end but are kickstart only. They also sport Italian rear suspension and silencers and Magura switchgear - altogether a pretty package if you can find one which has had its engine carefully looked after.
Spares and expertise are abundant, although not all modern components are of wonderful quality: an established commercial supplier or even a well-regarded ebayer may be a better bet than an anonymous autojumble stall. There is a famous saying about repro T140 spares: it can work right or it can fit right, but you can't have both at once…
There are straightforward fixes for common faults and an array of useful upgrades, and the bikes themselves are relatively inexpensive yet are capable of clocking up big miles in modern traffic. The TR7 is easier to live with than the T140 - unless you're a dab hand at balancing carbs, of course. All are very happy at 60mph, can sustain 80mph without too much trouble and will break the ton is you ask nicely.
The final incarnation of the 750 was actually a 650: the T140 chopped down to 650 size in the shape of the single carb TR65 which was built for two years from 1981. Less than 500 were made which is a shame, because this is one of the sweetest Tritwins of all time.
Tatty 750s start at £1500, mint ones go for £4500. Two Jubilee Bonnies were offered for sale in autumn 2012: one had covered just 890 miles from new and was up for £5300. The other had done 7000 miles and the seller was asking for £4250.

Street art comes in many forms and Chinagirl Tile has a different approach. This is one she did for Upfest in Bedminster and I almost walked past it... I do wish she would put her pieces higher up as it always gives me backache trying to photograph them!
So, these little babies are my latest experimentation with the pill. The last ones I quit because Simon said they made me act like I was PMSing all the time and for me it felt like I constantly had morning sickness and everything I ate made me want to throw up.
Can you believe these are actually worse?!
I'm one of those nuts who reads the whole product description and warning label. In this one it said it had the possibility of giving liver damage, but it was only really a risk if you were currently regularly taking medication that also affects your liver (like prescription ibuprofen or others). So, I thought I was fine. This pack is my first so you can see how far down I am in it. Three days before where its at now I had half a glass of wine and was buzzed (that should have been my first clue because that's unusual for me). But yesterday, I had a backache and I took two ibuprofen. And before I had taken them I had also had a half a glass of wine with lunch. In about 20 minutes I felt so heavy, as if my body was full of toxins, like when you've been drinking a lot or you've really got the flu. And I was very thirsty. I was so sick the whole night and Simon and I were really worried that I might need to go to the hospital, but I ended up being ok. I drank A LOT of water and slept a lot (and needless to say, peed a lot) and a lot of the junk got out of my system, but I still feel a little woozy today. I don't feel good enough to do my part at the meeting and I hope I can still make it to Isaac and Bonnie's wedding. One things for sure, I wont be drinkin.
For me though, this I think is my last try with the pill. I like living. And I really appreciate my liver.
This was about the only thing I could do today. I hope it didn't hurt me more. My girlfriend is supposed to come tomorrow with her table and work her magic.
My insurance won't let me get a lumbar MRI (remember that whole saga from last time?) until I've had 6 weeks of PT. Like I have the time and money. My chiro wanted me to go to ER for meds. And I just want to not hurt. I'm tired.
I was in the drive-through line at the bank today, and some (old, sorry) lady in front of me did what old ladies do, which is open their doors and lean through their windows anyway to reach the machine. And then, when the teller returned her things, she sat there for a long, long, long time. So I had to go in.
I limped and hobbled in, and I was waited on right away. I made a deposit, and then I cashed a $25 check. The teller said, "You just want this cashed?" I told her yes. The other teller said hi to me by name, and we chatted. The teller waiting on me just looked at my check. I said, "She knows me," and pointed to Miss Kim. She said, "Oh, that's not a problem. But I see here you don't do online banking."
I was incredulous. "What does that have to do with anything?" I asked.
"Oh, nothing."
"Because I was sitting outside behind an old lady, and I'm injured and can't walk, and you want me to stand here longer?"
Enjoy a little blast from my past. I know it cheered me right up. It didn't seem so ridiculous at the time.
My body is forever changed by this pregnancy. I only had a single, solitary stretchmark until about 33 weeks. Now, the entire underside of my my belly is marred by deep interwoven lines. They're definitely not "pretty" by society's airbrushed standards of perfection. And yet, I am not as horrified by them as I thought I would be. If anything, I see them in some odd way as a rite of passage - a symbolic badge of strength. I often find my fingers straying there, tracing the deep scars absentmindedly.
Allegedly 90% of caucasian women develop them in some extent during pregnancy. And I did everything I could to prevent them - adequate hydration, moisturizing, eating a healthy diverse diet, minimizing weight gain, etc. In the end, it came down to genetics. And in the end, that's what makes me proudest of them.
I was told by more than one doctor that I would never likely have children of my own without "significant medical intervention." My ex-husband and I tried (unsuccessfully) to have a child for years - undergoing many humiliating and invasive fertility treatments. It was incredibly taxing, physically and emotionally on both of us.
Thus, I was shocked when I found out that Patrick and I were expecting Julian. This pregnancy wasn't expected, or planned - but it was the most wonderful surprise I could've ever asked for. And I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. Even despite the 24 hour a day 'morning' sickness, the edema, the constant threat of pre-term labor, the backaches, the mind numbing fatigue, etc. Every single moment has been worth it. And I will always carry these scars to remind me of that.
Patrick tells me all the time that he loves my body more now than he did before. I have to say, I'm learning to love it more myself.
This is what my bag contains right now, ready for monday morning. I go from school, to uni or the other way round. I have to haul all this around on buses and trains. It's a nightmare alot of the time because i am quite small in stature and the bloody thing can get pretty heavy! I get backache alot from it! Some days that plastic bag is full of library books aswell as the ones being carried around ( constantly changing, as the modules rotate!) I also have my Macbook in there sometimes, depending on whether i will get chance to actually sit and do some work!
The curse of bricklaying, BACKACHE, 30 years on the trowel as now taken its toll, wear & tear they say sorry can't help you, change your job !, not a lot on the cards for me at 50. Feeling sorry for myself day, stop being soft ! think of those who are really ill, feel better already !!!!!!!!
