		<description><![CDATA[We recently did some landscaping work, where my Mother-in-Law&#8217;s motto &#8220;every Baas will break something in the process of making something&#8221; was confirmed. Her call for constant supervision of the &#8220;experts&#8221; &#8211; something my own father constantly demands- was also vindicated when the water bills came in. Turns out the guy who &#8220;jazzed up&#8221; the water [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Not too long after my post on LED lighting, it seems that Sri Lanka has commissioned its first solar power plant in the week ending 13 August 2011. The state media has publicized the commissioning of the 500kw plant, as has LankaBusinessOnline. While the economics may still be debatable, it&#8217;s good to see that Sri [...]]]></description>

The company concerned with the project, Carbon Futures is also planning on using local production facilities in partnership with local company RONA Electricals (Pvt) Ltd. The initial investment that they make is [...]]]></description>

Many thanks to Mr. Senanayake for his continued highlighting of such moments of hilarity. Type [...]]]></description>

Interestingly, they also include a separate page for what they don&#8217;t value. One of the terms I came across in all of this, is the &#8220;Monday Morning Quarterback&#8221;.

I'm paraphrasing here, so don't sue me:

It involves a particular phrase being said in all three main Sri Lankan languages &#8211; Sinhala, Tamil and English. It&#8217;s a good thing certainly and most of the phrases are likely to come in handy. Except that since I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>
