Will CASP actually Cheap aceon Grasp what is really needed in our area?
The town of nearby PottuVille welcomed the Vice President of Canadian Agro-Sustainability Partnership ( Buy keftab cephalexin CASP), Mr. Victor and his wife Ms. Petrescu this morning.
As usual, the newly arrived visitors are overwhelmed with proposals and project ideas.
Arugam.info however has observed and is frustrated that during the past 2 years the Bay itself has benefited nothing “Sustainable” from any of the hundreds of organizations passing through our area.
Photos of the auspicious PottuVille welcome ceremony are attached herewith.
Arugam.info has again crossed all fingers and one hopes to be able to report some realistic help and support for the Bay one fine day.
As stated, CASP is looking for Community based projects.
Therefore presentations, suggestions and support for our recommended causes might be welcome directly to:

As from now a special permit needs to be applied for any journey out of the Eastern Side of the island.
Arugam.info has just obtained the first “Travel West” permit, issued this afternoon at PottuVille Police station. A specimen copy of the new document is posted here for you to evaluate. See sample pass below
http://picasaweb.google.com/arugamsurf/Pass
We are informed that only vehicles with such a permission are allowed to travel West, as from today.
No doubt: The cumbersome application process alone should be sufficient to discurage lawbreakers and terrorists to carry out their deplorable plans in the West in future.

The often reported lack of cooperation between rival organizations has been disproven..
On a trip to OKANDA, at the entrance of the Yala East National Park, our reporter could not help to be rather impressed.
Of course, normally only one of the (up to 4) opposing adverts will be seen when hard working NGO’s pose in front of one of the ancient wells at Okanda (and elsewhere) to impress their gullible donors.
Remarkable! What a brilliant piece or coordination! No fighting for dominance here. Normally just one single side of the -still very dirty!! – wells was filmed of course.
Used entirely free of charge as a studio style backdrop for each Organization’s Self Promotion!
Well, well, well! Well done, mates.
Our nasty reporter didn’t apprechiate the wider backdropping either and went even further afield than remote Uganda.
He wanted us to publish shots of choked animals and other horrors – we declined because this is supposed to be a tourist promotion site.
But: Although poor, We do have a consience and concern for our environment!
How about YOU?

Our Wild Life as well as Arugam.info regret that the budget of said Organizations did not stretch as far as the employment of a few local labourers.
Two full months after the Kataragama walk PVC and rubbish still litters one of the nicest part of our island.
10 local guys could have cleaned this beauty spot in one or two days, at ease.
People here do need education; this is where Western “experts” could have made a real difference.
Total cost: 10 x 5$/day = approx. 100$
The painting of self-adverts was obviously much more cost effective.

would certainly be ashamed if our logo would be associated with such mismanagement, anywhere.
Cheap feldene 20mg Erythromycin cost uk Arugam.info has just received details of today’s interview with the overseas buyer.
Current buying prices at Arugam Bay are as follows:
Fishing Boat: Rs./ 20,000
Fishing Outboarder, 15 HP Kerosene: 80,000Rs./ (new)
Fishing nets: Depending on net sizes and condition.
contact: 0094 775 45 03 79 (Fawaz)
emai: Seaplaneair@yahoo.co.Uk
It is felt that due to pending East Coast fishing restrictions in the wake of the Galle Navy base attack many more boats will enter the second hand/ oversupply market.
..the subject of much local gossip and jealousy…
(source: Lonely Planet, 2006 edition, page 273 re. #50 SVH)
With the arrival of a flamboyant and somewhat colourful Australian investor local attention has recently shifted across the road, to a location directly opposite #50 Siam View.
Money changing activities, tour guides, boat trips, three wheeler donations (we have only 600 so far…) and property dealings are nothing new of course.
But this open activity is totally new to the Bay!
We have never seen such dominant signs as below:
Costumes clarina Where to buy aristocort 
Fishy boat buying and selling has been a lucrative business ever since uncoordinated NGO donated them to anyone, including many guys who never been near the sea.
However, it always made good publicity stunts and provided a quick fix for many NGO’s as we know.
New is the fact that a mere visitor from overseas has spotted this huge potential and entered the cash-for-donations market.
There are certain reservations and other suspicions about this man’s true intentions – but time will tell; it is not up to arugam.info to speculate or repeat rumors of such kind.
However, caution is advised in entering any business venture with this newcomer.
Speculation has it that donors boats might end up for export or be donated to Galle Harbour..; where a potential market opened up this morning….
Brand new outboard engines seem to have been purchased, still in their original boxes, unused of course.
Will they be returned to the main dealerships?
Or end up in Japan with Mr. Ja Ma Hammer or Miss Sue Sou Key?
Whatever, the idea makes perfect sense due to the oversupply of equipment.
And of course there is nothing illegal about it!
We reserve comment until we know more, obtain further details and know what the current by-back price levels are.
It is known, however, that a new 15HP Suzuki Kerosene engine now costs about 180,000Rs.
It is also known that a good boat was worth about the same, or slightly less.
Fully equipped, we are informed most NGO’s paid about 4-500,000Rs. for each boat.
To establish livelihoods etc…
Current market prices will be published tomorrow!
Wait for it & confirmation!

www.arugam.info is designed to concentrate on issues concerning Arugambay alone, but as we are governed by the nearby town of PottuVille the opening of a new office may have an effect onto life in the Bay.
A brand new Divisional Secretay Office (DS) was opened today in PottuVille.
In Sri Lanka, a Divisional Secretary implements Government policy on a rural or district level.
Our reporter was present and a few photos of the auspicious event are attached herewith.
The main sponsors and donors are the Italian Civil Protection on behalf of the Italian People.
The actual building is a fine design and it is hoped that the new location and equipment will be used for the benefit of the population of PottuVille.
Hopefully some progress will also come to the resort of Arugam Bay; which is governed by the office of the Divisional Secretariat of PottuVille in the Ampara District.
PVC pollution is a real problem in Sri Lanka.
Sewage Lanka maybe has the name right.
Spot the poor Deer feeding in the background
When careless pilgrims leave huge amounts of mess in a National Park, it is a disaster and a real thread to all animals, who often rummage for left over food in plastic waste.
Digested, they choke and many die as a result.
Kumana National Park is badly affected due to the thousands of pilgrims which transit to Kataqragama every year.
Sponsored or supervised by USAid the site shown is in front of the park ranger’s office, at beautiful Okanda Bay.
More and better photos follow when we return from our next safari, showing the actual site, USAid banners and promotions and may show up the failure of this large GO to control this outrage.
Even 2 months after pilgrims have left, nobody seems to be able to find the funds and the manpower to clean up our Nation’s greatest asset, the (normally) unspoiled Wild life and Nature.
The entire cleaning operation would cost no more than, say 100$.
This is obviously far too much for the Ox Frame, Sewage Lanka, USAids, Sword, Zoa & the Reds and all the other “Experts” who came to save our Nation.

News just in!
Charlie and Simon as well as Wolfgang are back in the Monkey House!
Now we have at least one explanation:
Simon’s overdue statement has been delayed because he is back inside.
Relax, No Problem!
This time it is only in the interest of Wolfgang’s eco project and our local wild life orphanage.
We will report more about the background soon, but today one important episode has been completed.
In brief, all four Arugambay, orphaned monkeys have been released back into their own habitat, the wild.
After a period of nursing and looking after them, the 3 males and one female were successfully placed into a safe area today.
It was never our intention to establish yet another zoo or silly tourist attraction and everyone, incl. all neighbors are very happy that this intermediate part of the ecoproject has been completed. Successfully today.

During AbHa’s recent research into the ‘War on Drugs’ we came across a rather iteresting graph. We feel it is important enough to share it with you and the young generation looking for fun in life.
The highly respected British Science Select Commitee collected data from relevant experts who have taken all relevant factors into consideration. They came up with a graph showing the actual harm drugs inflict onto society, the individual itself, as well as the underlying impact on their immididate family, the user’s health and all associated crime.
Here are their findings:
AbHa does not endorse the use of any drugs, but maybe our generation could benefit from a responsible re-classification of certain drugs?
Look where Alcohol, Tobacco and, say Ecstasy (A), stands right now.
And take a look at their present classification (legal).
No opinion here! Just Food for thought!
We have NO doubt, however, that Heroin, or ‘Brown Sugar’ is in its correct place (A)!
BBC News 13th October, 2006:
‘Cannabis drop’
The British Crime Survey which is published today is understood to show that drug use overall is down.
However against that background there are some individual increases, said BBC home affairs correspondent Rory MacLean.
Cheap uroxatral medicine Dostinex price in pakistan The survey, he said, is expected to show a drop in the numbers of people using cannabis.
The government is also expected to say it plans to stick to the classification of drugs into A, B and C classes in response to a parliamentary committee report saying the system was not fit for purpose
In July, a committee of MPs said the designation of drugs in classes A, B and C should be replaced with one more closely reflecting the harm they cause.
The Science Select Committee said the present system was based on historical assumptions, not scientific assessment. Some of the drugs could be rated less harmful than tobacco or alcohol.
Estrace for sale Trazodone treatment What a surprise!
After last weeks unprecedented incidents we really thought we lost our brilliant reputation as a very peaceful, remote Bay.
Little wonder that our friends from Israel, including some attractive,young ladies packed their bags last week to escape yet another confrontation with angry Muslims. Many feel they have enough of it at home and don’t deserve similar impressions on a well earned holiday.
(Note the two girls on the left; they are also shown in our: “Surfers leaving the Bay” article). They returned to the Bay in less than ONE week! Respect!!!!
We are honoured that all of a sudden most guys (and specially the two girls mentioned) have come back to us to show solidarity, representing a very strong support and full confidence in the little Bay at Arugam.
Just as distant Governments warn of East Coast travels:
Here are our REAL travelers, rather than illinformed pen pushers – who voted with their presence.
And they show up all this nonsense and overreacting hype.
Being no expert at the complex Internet, and also a tiny bit drunk due to the ongoing celebrations, I don’t know right now how to copy and paste more and better photos into this space here (as yet..old man still learning…and so on…)
But here is a link for you to take a glimpse of some up to date, tonights, events at Arugam Bay:
Metformin hair loss treatment Folks!
We are overwhelmed! Purchase triamcinolone
Who would have dreamed that our little Community would recover so quickly?
Again: Totally on our own!
Last week we really though that we lost years of good reputation.
And nobody would want to know us anymore. Or come to see and stay with us.
Today we are happy to welcome even more visitors and we received dozens of emails of moral support. Even more surprising:
Loads of guys phoned up and asked who our DJ will be for next weeks Full Moon Party!!!
To be honest, we will show restraint and we will just have a low key get-together FMP on the night of the 5th October; that’s all.
Sad events happened outside the Bay and we also wish to show respect, of course.
It’s the Holy month of Ramadan …as well.
However, on a brighter and more cheerful note we are very happy to report that we have received our first photo collection from our good friend Ms. Line (sorry: that’s not her Line, but a Danish name).
Line asked us to publish her impressions during her long stay at East Surf Cabanas:
So here it is:

The Bay is sunny, the surf is good, all is quiet and peaceful.
An empty beach & a warm, blue ocean is waiting for YOU!
Do YOU wish to support Arugam Bay?
The best and most direct way is so simple:
Reward us with your visit! Buy metformin 1000mg
Just make your way due East, across the island from Colombo on the A4 and visit us!
You will have a great vacation, the few businesses offering services will have something to do and your money spent here will directly help us to recover on our own devices.
Should you require transport, and you wish to be collected from anywhere, at any time our local taxi operations are also very happy to get a little income.
