Palenque, also anciently known in the Itza Language as Lakamha (literally 'Flat-Place-River'), was a Maya city state in southern Mexico that perished in the 8th century. The Palenque ruins date from ca. 226 BC to ca. 799 AD. After its decline, it was overgrown by the jungle of cedar, mahogany, and sapodilla trees, but has since been excavated and restored. It is located near the Usumacinta River in the Mexican state of Chiapas, about 130 km (81 mi) south of Ciudad del Carmen, 150 meters (490 ft) above sea level. It averages a humid 26°C (79°F) with roughly 2,160 millimeters (85 in) of rain a year.
Palenque is a medium-sized site, smaller than Tikal, Chichen Itza, or Copán, but it contains some of the finest architecture, sculpture, roof comb and bas-relief carvings that the Mayas produced. Much of the history of Palenque has been reconstructed from reading the hieroglyphic inscriptions on the many monuments; historians now have a long sequence of the ruling dynasty of Palenque in the 5th century and extensive knowledge of the city-state's rivalry with other states such as Calakmul and Toniná. The most famous ruler of Palenque was K'inich Janaab Pakal, or Pacal the Great, whose tomb has been found and excavated in the Temple of the Inscriptions.
By 2005, the discovered area covered up to 2.5 km2, but it is estimated that less than 10% of the total area of the city is explored, leaving more than a thousand structures still covered by jungle.
The famous structures that we know today probably represent a rebuilding effort in response to the attacks by the city of Calakmul and its client states in 599 and 611. One of the main figures responsible for rebuilding Palenque and for a renaissance in the city's art and architecture is also one of the best-known Maya Ajaw, Kʼinich Janaabʼ Pakal (Pacal the Great), who ruled from 615 to 683. He is known through his funerary monument dubbed the Temple of Inscriptions, after the lengthy text preserved in the temple's superstructure. At the time Alberto Ruz Lhuillier excavated Pakal's tomb, it was the richest and best preserved of any scientifically excavated burial then known from the ancient Americas. It held this position until the discovery of the rich Moche burials at Sipan, Peru and the recent discoveries at Copan and Calakmul.
The grandson of Janaab Pakal is the most famous of the Mayan kings, K'inich Janaab' Pakal, also known as Pakal the Great. He began rule at the age of 12 years after his mother Sak Kuk resigned as queen after three years, thus passing power on to him. Pakal the Great reigned in Palenque from 615 to 683, and his mother remained an important force for the first 25 years of his rule. She may have ruled jointly with him. Known as the favorite of the gods, he carried Palenque to new levels of splendor, in spite of having come to power when the city was at a low point. Pakal married the princess of Oktán, Lady Tzakbu Ajaw (also known as Ahpo-Hel) in 624 and had at least three children.
Most of the palaces and temples of Palenque were constructed during his government; the city flourished as never before, eclipsing Tikal. The central complex, known as The Palace, was enlarged and remodeled on various occasions, notably in the years 654, 661, and 668. In this structure, is a text describing how in that epoch Palenque was newly allied with Tikal, and also with Yaxchilan, and that they were able to capture the six enemy kings of the alliance. Not much more had been translated from the text. Pakal's sarcophagus, built for a very tall man, held the richest collection of jade seen in a Mayan tomb. A jade mosaic mask was placed over his face, and a suit made of jade adorned his body, with each piece hand-carved and held together by gold wire.
During the 8th century, B'aakal came under increasing stress, in concert with most other Classic Mayan city-states, and there was no new elite construction in the ceremonial center sometime after 800. An agricultural population continued to live here for a few generations, then the site was abandoned and was slowly grown over by the forest. The district was very sparsely populated when the Spanish first arrived in the 1520's.

Every day Sarah meets with Ibu Juarni to study Indonesian. Juarni is an
excellent language helper, and has become a dear friend. One day she taught
me how to make an Indonesian meal called Kari Ayam (Curry Chicken). It has
Curry in it, but isn't spicy. It is made with coconut milk, which make it a
little sweeter. Indonesians typically would make this meal very spicy, but
because we can't handle it as spicy as they do we toned it down a little.
Here's Sarah with Juarni and her 2 girls, Riryn and Jennie.

Adalah and the Association for Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI) sent numerous letters to mixed cities’ municipalities over the years to remind them of their obligations to post public signage in both Arabic and Hebrew, pursuant to the organizations’ petition and the 2002 Supreme Court decision. As Natserat Illit continues to ignore the Court’s decision, the organizations’ have written to the Attorney General, and may submit a motion for contempt to the Supreme Court to compel compliance.

This was on one of the playground levels at Wood River Park. There were several cool things like this, but how often do you see something put up on a playground to help bridge the gap between a hearing disabled child and one with hearing. I thought this was pretty cool.
According to this site ( research.gallaudet.edu/Demographics/2000_National_Summary... ) there are nearly 44 thousand deaf children in the United States alone.

everything single thought i've had today has been for the most part depressing. i'm not usually like this, really.. i have these down on myself moments. and i mean-i get REALLY down. today for example. i feel like i'm going to go crazy before this day is over.
first there is the always pleasant thought and fear of lack of talent. not only in my major in school, but in any and everything. Looking at this flickr, i see juvienille work from a mediocre photographer. i would never even pretend to put anything i have taken up for sale. i wish i could write more regularly.. but then i feel like i'm only good at it SOMETIMES, when i'm extremely emotional. even then i don't feel like i can fully write what i feel.
i also just have this insanely horrible self hatred, i couldn't even tell you where it comes from. not so much of me-me..but of my appearance. it seems to me that no matter how hard i try i will never see in the mirror what i want. in terms of losing weight, most defintely. the dumbest thing i hate SO much about myself are my freckles. i don't know why i hate them so much..i just feel like a lepar--[i'm not even pretending to know how to spell that.] its just frustrating when you find most things about yourself disgustable.
i'm giving my two weeks at work and i feel guilty becasue two people just quit and i feel like i'm leaving them high and dry. but i simply cannot handle it anymore. theres too much going on. school is stressing me out enough for 3 jobs.
i feel pretty distant from my friends recently.
my family..we just need help.
long distance relationships completely suck. i've always looked down on the strange people who try to make them work, wondering how anyone could have so much faith in such a hopeless situation. now that i am one of those people, i feel so so indescribably empty. the worst thing to do is sit and think about this..but i miss him so much. i would settle for 3 minutes holding him tonight.
this is not a feel sorry for me thing.. not by any means..its just me trying desperately to get this feeling out of my chest. okayy.

This was yet another night of insomnia. I didn't sleep at all. I tried to close my eyes and they just popped open and open and open so I resorted to using my brain for something even in the wee hours. So at 3am, I started trying to resume my quest to learn Italian.
English is my first language and French was my second. I actually attended a bilingual school, English, and French until I was seven. Unfortunately, here, the emphasis is all about learning Spanish, so as soon as I went to elementary, they enrolled me in the only language classes they had which was Spanish and I soon lost the ability to speak French fluently as only my brother and I spoke it, and my dad knew just a little bit of it. I did however get a chance to get back at it in the third grade when my parents enrolled me in the super Olympics of Summer Schools. We had French lessons, Chess lessons, Drum and Jazz classes, Dance, Swimming lessons, Arts and Crafts, History adn Culture, Singing lessons, and Sign Language. It felt as though we were in school, but all the classes were composed of electives. We ended up being sent back for 3 Summers in a row which was pretty cool. I excelled in French there, but again, got back to school, no one spoke or taught French, so it was back to learning Spanish and away my French went. Sign language was frustrating to me. We had a hearing teacher and a deaf teacher. I think she expected us to just pick up with the language, and so she would rarely actually speak to us once she'd taught us basics. The deaf teacher was much nicer and made a point to sign much slower so we could try to grasp the words and concepts unlike her lightening speed. I didn't really appreciate the language as much until I got a little older and I did try and take it in college but the basic classes were full up and I couldn't get in.
Along the way Spanish has been my constant companion. My besty's first language is Spanish so she sometimes speaks to me in half/half. My real test came when I started working in an after school program for the Y with bilingual students. I was there to tutor them in English, Math, and Science. I had to learn quickly how to translate. They wanted us to speak mostly English to them, but most were so young they were barely enrolled in ESL so I had to translate or the alternative would have been to spend my hours having them stare at me blankly.
And now, on my bucket list, is a dream of mine, to go to Italy. I don't want to do the whole tourisy ruins and art museums...I just want to go to a small country side village, eat as the locals do, enjoy the sunsets on some large land overlooking the countryside and eat, pray, love. I did say that I wouldn't go until I had some grasp of the basics of communication in the language. I don't want to go some place and have to rely totally on someone translating for me, because that gets old really quickly and it kind of puts people off as they have to struggle to say even the simplest things to you through someone else. I figured, a while back, because I know a little Spanish, learning Italian should be easier as the languages are very similar....um...that's actually the problem...the languages are very similar. There are subtle deviations between vowel sounds and pronunciations that have made this a confusing slog as I literally revert back to Spanish when trying to speak Italian. Counting is funny because I can easily recall Spanish numbers, so I say the numbers half in Spanish and Half in Italian. I'm at the beginning stages of the language, but it might as well be Spanish in a lot of respects. I think I might look for a tutor the more serious I get about learning it, but I want to at least learn the basics on my own, so I have plenty of books, audio, and of course as pictured, the lovely youtube.
In other news...I can almost cross this item off my bucket list because I have said for a while I am going to start growing my own herbs. That's legal herbs that is, LOL! Not that herbs at my local market are terribly expensive, I just want to start growing edible foods in my garden again. When I first moved in, I had corn and tomatoes, and apples and grapes, but most are now long dead and gone but its time to Secret Garden that b*tch, and make some food grow. So I'm starting with two items, one is basil, and one is carrots. Of course this being the worst time of year as the weather is about to turn, but I have hope that the basil will make it, and if not, I can transfer them and grow them inside if the outdoors fails. The one thing I will have to watch for in the garden is the freakin' squirrels. They constantly eat and destroy my apples because in the yard there is a giant pecan tree and when they get tired of those, the jump on my apples. Jerks! They are particularly active now with winter approaching, so I'm hoping they don't dig through the pots or chew through the basil as it begins to grow.

A smile is always the best way to engage children...especially in Asia, where they have a natural curiosity to look at the strange visitors! Unlike in Thailand, where school uniforms are very varied and colourful, green and white is worn by all children in Myanmar. The "longyi" is worn by most of the local men and boys.
