6 JUNE 14
Another twist out attempt on this TWA. Today was a day to just get out of the house and run a few errands. Typically I think we all just throw on some jeans or something and go, but I decided, lets not look like we crawled out of a cave today, so I really got dressed up. I'm wearing the lace cut dress I wore almost a year ago to my now Sister-in-laws bridal shower with a shrug and my arrowhead necklace and some hoops. I wanted to wear my heels, but by god, my hamstrings are still killing me. My brother suggested in might actually be sciatica, and given where the pain is coming from, I tend to agree. Today was the first day in forever that I felt any sort energy enough to walk. The pain has made it most difficult to just walk straight. I have had to compensate by sort of rocking on leg forward or sliding my leg in a sort of shuffling fashion. I'm icing it and Ben Gaying it, but I'm still only at 60% today.
Anyway, today was hotter than the devils balls. It seemed like just about every one of my friends status updates had something to do with how hot it was. My thermometer in the shade read 100 degrees all the way up until 7:30 at night. As all of us H-towners know, its not the heat that will kill you, it's the humidity, and that it was. Typically when I pull up to some place, I can turn the air off, and rifle through my stuff looking for whatever I need and then go, but now-a-days, I have to leave the a/c on up until the absolute last minute before I open the car door. I have wanted to go to G-town for ages, and now as I feared it is just much too hot to go out there and try to hang out on the water for any reason. Unlike other people who live near the water, ours is absolutely not blue so getting in is like an at your own risk thing, not that I would be out there swimming anyway. The last time I officially went in the drink, I was in the 6th grade at a pool party. I haven't been swimming since that day mainly because for nearly 17 years I had permed hair, and you don't get that wet, but now with the natural, I still have no desire to really go swimming.
Thanks to Netflix and my third free trial, woot, I was able to rent the last hundred seasons of all the shows I haven't been able to see. I'm trying to catch up on Game of Thrones, True Blood, Shameless, and Orange is the New Black. Binge watching is something else. In like a day, you can be caught up with an entire show. TV has changed so much from when I was a kid. I remember for one, the summer was a dead period on tv. There was no new programming, so you had re-runs for about 4 months solid, and now summer tv is where new shows that might not typically survive in the Fall, are debuted. Of course now, with DVD and Blu Ray, even if the show you love is cancelled or maybe you just haven't been able to see it all season, you can pick it up on dvd and watch it forever if you'd like. You also really never have to worry about missing a show for the aforementioned reason and because with DVR, you can simply record your show but unlike VCR's, if the power goes out or your tape gets messed up, you've lost your show, but with DVR, its on there basically forever until you choose to delete it or watch it. And then even after all of that, you still have things like On Demand where you can watch your shows, or HULU, or any internet device, or you can buy an episode and watch whenever and wherever you want. I mean when we think about how many leaps and bounds TV technology has made, it is absolutely astounding. I remember getting into fights with my brother over who controlled Saturday morning cartoons. If I had kids, this wouldn't even be an issue.
For our bodies to work appropriately, without issues or without torment, we really want to guarantee we are practicing reliably and appropriately. For our backs specifically, practice that reinforces the muscles in the encompassing regions will go quite far in forestalling or diminishing back torment.

Even after establishing where the elephants were thanks to their tracking collars actually getting close enough to spot them in the thick Vachelia (Acacia) seyal bush was difficult while they were still on the move. Occasionally when they stopped moving we were afforded a nice clear view.
For roughly 6 months of the year between June and November Zakouma National Park is almost entirely inundated with floodwaters at this time elephants would often disperse into the surrounding area of what is now the Salamat Faunal Reserve. During this time Arab horsemen from the Darfur region of neighbouring Sudan would come to hunt the elephants as they had done for perhaps several hundred years. Traditionally a group of up to 20 horsemen armed with lances would charge a herd aiming to separate out one of the elephants. A single horseman would then ride in front of this elephant to draw its attention and get it to pursue him allowing the other men to ride in and spear it from behind with their lances. They would aim for the elephant’s hamstrings in its hind legs which if severed would bring the animal down and ensure it could not get up again. Huge numbers of elephants were killed this way and in response the surviving herds in the region have learned that at the first sign of horsemen their best defence is bunch up into tight groups to ensure that no individual can be separated out.
Today this is no defence the horsemen are Janjaweed militiamen and members of the Sudanese armed forces and they come not with the lances used by their ancestors but with AK47s, belt-fed machine guns and rocket propelled grenades. This habit of bunching up into a single large herd has meant that the poachers can easily kill 50-60 elephants in a single attack by simply machine gunning the terrified animals as they try to escape. In 2005 an aerial count found 3,885 elephants in Zakouma and the surrounding area in under a decade the population was reduced to just 430 and had stopped breeding due to the constant stress. Since African Parks took over Zakouma the poaching has been almost entirely stopped and the elephants are breeding again the population now stands at around 470.
After so many years of poaching most of Zakouma's elephants still generally stick together in a single big herd and often keep to the thick bush making them difficult to find.
Watching these young fellas was so tempting for me to join in. Knowing that I might get the hamstring pulls after a few kicks, I just resolved to taking pictures.
Sepak takraw (Malay: sepak raga; Thai: ตะกร้อ "takraw"; Lao: ກະຕໍ້ "ka-taw"; Filipino: "sipa"; Vietnamese: "cầu mây") or kick volleyball is a sport native to Southeast Asia, resembling volleyball, except that it uses a rattan ball and only allows players to use their feet, knee, chest and head to touch the ball. It is a popular sport in Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Myanmar, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Philippines and Indonesia. From ~wikipedia

As this match up starts 3 of the main events are not playing on this night. Manu Ginobili is out with a hamstring injury which he suffered friday night against the Clippers. Dwayne Wade, and LeBron James the Miami heat superstars are out for something a little more controversial (Mario Chalmers also sat out). As you may remember, when the spurs visited Miami this year coach Greg Popovich decided to sit his 3 big key players, so it looks like Miami was trying to repay this unusual tactic.
Paula Radcliffe, the favorite, would finish 4th behind Ethiopian Derartu Tulu, Russian Ludmila Petrova and French Christelle Daunay after setting the pace for much of the race. While she ran by, you could see she was in a lot of pain. Paula later reported that she suffered a hamstring injury that hobbled her quite a bit. She is known for her distinctive "nodding" action while running.

C2-SL Deadlift- Start with feet shoulders width apart. Hold dumbbells in hands, palms facing thighs. Bend over at your waist keeping knees slightly bent (do not lock out knees) and back flat. Lower dumbbells down to the ground until you feel a stretch in your hamstrings. Stand back up to upright position. Repeat.
Elephants very quickly learn where they're safe and where they're not, this bull is one of a small group that hang around the Zakouma HQ area during the dry season. After everything that these elephant's have been through it's remarkable that any of them are willing to trust humans at all. However they are such intelligent animals that not only do they know where there safe but they also know who their friends are and these bulls that come to the Park Director Rian Labuschagne's house have learned to take water from a garden hosepipe.

Here's a shot of the leg four days after the surgery. It looked a little better than I expected. I thought that there would be more swelling and more bruising from the initial surgical trauma, but there is only minor swelling and the incisions. It is feeling pretty good, as long as the muscles don't spasm (which they do about 10 to 15 times a day). I went off of the pain meds on Saturday and can put weight on the leg without too much pain. We are hoping to go out to dinner tonight, as five straight days stuck in this house is a bit dull.
