The lights along the fabled Strip and outside other casinos around this desert gambling mecca will do something Wednesday night they've done only a handful of times in the last few generations.
They'll go dark for several minutes, in honor of the late
At 10:30 p.m., after the finish of UNLV's home game against Boise State, those beckoning lights will momentarily surrender their luster, in recognition of "Tark the Shark," the college basketball coach-turned local hero who embodied the spirit of this city for his love of the game, and let what critics said be damned.
This uniquely Las Vegas tribute has been done sparingly over the decades – honoring such social and political icons as Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Ronald Reagan and John F. Kennedy.
And now there's Tark; that controversial, sad-eyed, towel-chewing court-side pacer who for years battled the National Collegiate Athletic Assn. over how it issued sanctions.
But around Las Vegas, he was more than a Hall of Famer. He was the guy everybody around here called Coach.
The light-dimming gesture was driven by a social media campaign waged by Tony Cordasco and Scott Gulbransen, two UNLV alumni who rallied fellow alumni around Las Vegas and the state, creating enough momentum to convince the normally bottom-line-oriented casino bosses to agree.
Casinos such as Caesars Entertainment Corp., MGM Resorts properties on the Strip, the Cosmopolitan, Stratosphere, Tropicana, the Venetian and the Palazzo, have agreed to dim their non-essential exterior bulbs for a few minutes.
But the lights will dim elsewhere as well, including such off-Strip resorts as the Hard Rock Hotel and South Point casino; locals-only Station Casinos and even the digital canopy above Fremont Street. PTs pub will also lower the exterior lights at many of its 46 locations locally.
Gulbransen, an online marketing expert and 1995 UNLV graduate, said he conceived the idea Wednesday, late at night on the day Tarkanian died. "I was on my computer at home when Tony texted me about what a terrible day it was," he said.
"We were commiserating in our moment of grief and the talk eventually turned to getting the lights dimmed on The Strip. It was like 'It's only been done a few times. Yep, this is what we should do.'"
That night, they set up a Twitter account and Facebook page asking casinos to honor Coach Tark. They showed a picture of Tarkanian, hands clasped before him, wearing his national championship ring, before a view of The Strip lighted up at night like a galaxy of stars. The hashtag read "#DIMLIGHTS4TARK".
The response on social media was immediate and sizable. "The whole thing kept me up until 3 a.m.," he said. "The next day we both began calling people we knew."
Both Gulbransen and Colasco dusted off their mental Rolodexes for UNLV alumni with political pull. That included Trevor Hayes, a member of the Nevada Board of Regents. They reached out to both the Nevada Resort Assn. and Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.
Even here in the desert, the momentum began to snowball, showing both men the reach of UNLV graduates here. "the university has grown; there's well over 100,000 alumni now," said Cordasco, a 1982 UNLV graduate. "The school also has a hotel management school, so there are people working in town. But the biggest reason we all got this done was that Coach was so revered. People were willing to help."
In recent days, the Tark tributes have been constant. ESPN called Tarkanian's most successful teams a latter-day Rat Pack that owned the heart of The Strip. He was a renegade coach who took athletes rejected by other schools and won a national championship in 1990.
In all, Tarkanian won 729 games as a coach at
4:45 p.m.: An earlier version of this post said Tarkanian was a coach at the University of Nevada, Reno. It should have said Fresno State.
"We were the outlaws," said Colasco, who worked as a reporter covering many UNLV basketball games. "Coach embraced that role. People gravitated to him. We were the underdogs and they wanted the underdogs to win. Even the bellmen and airport workers, they all rooted for Coach, and he embraced them all."
Colasco said he recalled Tarkanian as a coach who allowed his superstitions to run as wild as his Runnin' Rebels.
"I broadcast many games and one day he walked up to me and said: 'You're doing a good job. We're 5-0. Keep up the good work, as though I was somehow responsible," Colasco said.
When Colasco sat with the team for pregame meals, he recalled that Tarkanian never allowed anyone to talk – another superstition. And if he won on the road, he stayed in the same hotel year after year.
"We stayed in this dumpy hotel in Las Cruces, N.M., because we continue to win against New Mexico State," Colasco recalled. "When we finally lost, one of the team said on the flight home 'Well, at least we won't have to stay at that hotel anymore.'"
If Tarkanian were alive, he said, he'd certainly see the dimming of the Las Vegas lights as another good omen.

Black Bird Press News & Review: Poems for Palestine, Egypt, Syria by Marvin X and Mohja Kahf
Few had not anticipated that the discovery that the kidnapped Israeli youth had been killed inside Palestinian territories would lead a terrible collective punishment of Palestinian civilians. The death of the two kidnapped young people is a sad and frightening reality of the injustice of a war forced upon the people of Israel and Palestine to serve but one objective; the continued illegal occupation of Palestinian land. While we acknowledge that many Israeli families have lost lives, it has however become a pattern that the state of Israel reacts with all its crude force against 1.5 million Palestinians caged in ever shrinking territories to even the smallest incident. Since 2000, thousands of Palestinians have perished as a result and many more have been traumatised and displaced.

Palling Around with McCain: A Window Shopper's Nightmare.
First, as we found through Ziegler's poll on Obama voters, most of them recognized the media's infatuation with the RNC buying Palin's clothes so it stands to reason the infatuation will continue through the title. Thus Palin can make huge sums of money from them.
Of course buyers remorse would set in as soon as they read the story because it should be a story about how McCain and his staff were ninkinpoops.
Start with Nicole Wallace and an interesting short article about her in the American Spectator.
The story talks about how Frum thinks Wallace was behind the B.S. with Palin and how she was handled poorly.
I agree especially after reading the following article written by her.
Nicole Wallace is now talking about Obama by saying Republicans Get on Board.
No American could watch the inauguration of President Barack Obama this week and not feel pride in the splendor and strength of our democracy. No one watching could miss the drama of this moment of challenge and self-examination for our nation—of seeing a man so well-suited to meet the expectations of the office he fills. The presidency is now within reach for any man who dares to dream big enough. It is no longer an office attainable by members of one race, and, hopefully, in short time, it will no longer be an office available to one gender.
All I can say is; she must be looking for work. And she must need new shoes, a handbag and an outfit for an interview with the Obama express which is one track away from a trainwreck.
One should ask if she and Palin are the same size. Word on the street is the RNC is having a garage sale on women's clothing.

Outside I have a coop and fenced in a 12' x 12' area with netting over the top (we have red shouldered hawks on our property) I bought a bag of organic starter duck food. And have read a couple books on duck raising. I'm so excited and nervous! My husband and I have both wanted ducks for many years. We are finally in the country in a place where we can have them. We ordered 6 female Welsh Harlequins. We are looking for eggs and simply to have some pets. I hope we are prepared! I love this forum and have been reading many of the threads. I believe that I will need to find a better plan for watering after reading some of them. Thanks for listening, if you have any words of advice or experience with this breed I'd love to hear it.

That was the real picture of the day. But it was seen, felt, heard, and treasured only by the 40,000 to 50,000 "unseen" in Seattle. The unseen included rice farmers from Japan; teachers from Canada; religious leaders; steelworkers; longshoremen; experts in economics, the environment, and education; students; and the workers. These peaceful protesters paid tribute to a vision of fairness for all who contribute to our global well-being -- often at the price of their own. Although this gathering was characterized as mere anarchy, something of positive consequence happened in the streets of Seattle. This is the story of international populism. And it's only just begun.

going back to the 1940's and 50's

Tapes go back longer than the 70s! I think the first real tape deck was produced in 1948 by ampex, though there might have been earlier units availible. Before that film was used predominatly for play-to-air and they had a real-time telecine machine to feed to air. The telecine stuck around after tapes started making inroads, mostly in the news business who was shooting 16mm all the way up to the late 70s.
Ampex released their first machine to market, the VR1000 in 1956.

TV stations had a "film chain" type of telecine, more or less a projector pointed at a video camera. Prints of the TV shows were delivered to the TV stations. Regarding videotape, see:
I was on a school tour of NBC Burbank in the mid70s. They had at least two rows of 35mm film chains.
Since the shows were projection prints there were rather restrictive recommendations for lighting ratios to keep the contrast low.
I read John Dystra talking about doing the effects for 'Battlestar galactica' for TV and how important it was to keep to the recommended densities for broadcast. When I saw it at a screening it llooked awful. All flat middle tones.

Just to add: There were lots of shows from the '50s that used KINESCOPE. Shows like Jackie Gleason's THE HONEYMOONERS used a process like Kinescope. Kinescope was the process of a 16mm film camera filmming a video monitor of what the TV cameras were capturing in the studio.
I had heard of this process talked about over the years, but you can read all the reasons they did this if you google Kinescope.

The seperate series, as opposed to the ones which were segments of the Jackie Gleason show, were filmed with a Dumont rig which had a blimped 35mm camera and a TV camera shooting simutaneously through the same lens. The show went out live on it's initial broadcast, and as prints from 35mm for other markets.
The difference between those shows and the earlier segments is very obvious, could be why Jackie Gleason sat on them for so long.
Often kinescopes looked like and old Xerox®. There were some 35mm Kinescopes.

By filming the action in the regular manner and through an ingenious fast chemical film developing tank combined into a wet gate telecine, Baird could broadcast within a few minutes of the actual filmed event. He even performed experiments with use of a film chain/mechanical camera in RAF aircraft for "live" broadcast of battlefield action to military HQ.
Baird also invented the first video recorder - using 78rpm records. Some still exist and have been digitally extracted with astonishing, spookie results! 15fps 30 lines PROGRESSIVE!!!!!
Baird eventually got his mechanical system up to 300 lines 30fps, quite amazing really. The invention of the CRT killed Baird's system and ironically imposed crap interlaced video upon the world for the next 60 years!
Yes, TV was progressive for the first 20 years or so

Actually, interlace was also used in mechanical scan. It was patented around 1910 - 1915.
Yes, TV was progressive for the first 20 years or so
It was the right choice for analog broadcast TV, because it gives you 65% of the effective resolution of progressive while using only 50% of the bandwidth. In effect, it's a very crude lossy compression whose only advantage is that it could be implemented in analog. In the digital world, it only interferes with much better compression methods.
300 line mechanical scan wouldn't be too practical. It would take a disk with a diameter of 8 feet to make a picture an inch high.

Actually, there were quite a lot of them. I have a 35mm Acme kinescope movement somewhere. They were used for net delay before there was 2" quad tape. Shows like Gleason and Sid Caesar that were shot live to air with TV cameras in New York made the trip out to LA via 32 terrestrial microwave hops, and were recorded on hot kine's. The film was rushed through the lab, and ran on a film chain three hours after it was exposed to feed the West coast. They were supposed to be tossed or recycled as slug leader at the end of the night, but if the film chain guy really liked a particular show, he might put it aside to watch again. That's how some of those early shows survived.
There were some 35mm Kinescopes.
Lucy, OTOH, was shot here on the West coast, so they shot and posted on film, and delivered prints to both coasts. I know one of the assistant editors from Lucy, somebody should really shoot an interview with Ted. Where's Ken Burns when you need him? ;-)

SRK practices autism at homeFollow us on Social Media

Shah Rukh Khan continues to practice the body language and speech patterns of his autistic character even at home.
Before Shah Rukh Khan played the autistic character in My Name Is Khan, Karan Johar met Londoner Chris Aston who suffers from Aspergers Syndrome and his wife Maxine, who wrote a book on how to cope with a spouse suffering from the disease.
Says Karan, Shibani and I met the couple. They were gracious enough to meet us in London. And that couples relationship became the basis of Rizwan and Mandiras relationsip in My Name Is Khan. At its core level this film is a love story.
Continues Karan, My writer Shibani Bhatija researched extensively on various aspects of an autistic disorder and contacted the various National Autistic Centres. Shibani and I personally met a lot of autistic people, took notes went to u U-Tube. Then Shah Shah Rukh did his own research.
Karan admits this has been the most difficult film of his career. It has taken its toll on me and Shah Rukh. Its true Shah Rukh remained in character as Rizwan Khan even at home. At home in his body language hes always Rizwan. I see him doing it all the time. I dont think he has got out of it. Even when hes with his children at home.
Karan cuts down the theory that Shah Rukhs disorder is inspired from Tom Hanks in Forrest Gump. Its not Tom Hanks in Forrest Gump at all. That was a totally different strain of autism. Its nearer to Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man, though still very different. Its what we call high-functional autism. You can have a regular life, be married, have children. But the syndrome does convey a fair amount of quirks and eccentricities. But his character is not essentially neuro-typical. The film has made me understand human behaviour and how to be compassionate and humane.The film has sapped Karans energies. He needs to take a break. I need to go away for a month. I dont think it will happen. But no harm in dreaming.

This is the last in a series of five fact sheet developed for vegetable growers in 2003 – 2004.
These sheets will provide you with information about composting, compost products and how to best use them to suit your needs.
The type of product you choose and the method of application depends on your production goals and your specific performance requirements.
Your compost supplier should match your needs with a particular product, giving specific advice on method and rates of application.
This fact sheet provides you with some general guidelines about quality criteria for compost and how it can be used in vegetable production.
Compost Quality :
The Australian Standard (AS 4454) provides a framework for the production of quality compost and for quality assurance. However, an Australian Standard compost also needs to be 'fit for purpose'.
In general composts should be:
Stability is the level of biological activity in a moist and aerated compost pile.
Applying Compost :
Apply compost just before planting and leave it on the soil surface for mulching or incorporate it in the soil.
Broadcasting of compost is the fastest way to improve soil conditions across a paddock.
Mulching reduces evaporation and saves irrigation water.
Plan to succeed :
Acknowlegements :

Chronicles of Coolness
From Anime to J-Pop, Japan is In
April 14, 2004
TOKYO -- Cute animal characters roam
amid full-size figures
of robots and action heroines busting out of their halter tops.
Posters advertise titles such as "Rave Master," "Fullmetal
Alchemist" and "Creamy Mami." One exhibit, built like a haunted
house, is so popular there's a line to get in.
This isn't a theme park and the people wandering the aisles are not tourists on holiday; they're businesspeople in suits, carrying briefcases and hoping to make deals. It's the Tokyo International Anime Fair, held recently over four days, and even the American television networks sent people.
Japan's unique form of animation -- known as anime, pronounced a-nee-may -- is just one aspect of Japanese pop culture being embraced by the young and the hip around the world. From food and fashion to art, video games, "J-pop" music and manga, or comics -- if it's Japanese, it's in.
"The influence of 'all things Japan' on American culture has hit an all-time high," Kristien Brada-Thompson, a spokesperson for Los Angeles-based manga distributor TOKYOPOP Inc., said in e-mailed comments. "Manga (and especially its animated counterpart, anime) is everywhere ... and I believe we're just now seeing the start of it."
This new image, as the purveyor of all things cool, is a sharp turnaround for a country that has endured persistent negative stereotypes in Western culture on top of being beaten down by one recession after another in the last decade. It is now helping to buoy the collective mood as the economy shows signs of entering the first sustainable recovery in a long time.
"In the past, most foreigners' image of Japan was of an economic animal or people with teeth sticking out, wearing suits all the time," said Masakazu Kubo, the man behind the worldwide Pokemon phenomenon. "But foreigners' perception of Japan has changed. Because Japanese anime and games are going to overseas markets, foreign kids think Japan is a cool country."
Being cool has not only been good for the national self-esteem, it's been good business.
Anime alone is a $19 billion industry. The total size of the content industry, as it's called here, is about $106 billion, accounting for 2 percent of Japan's GDP. It's twice the size of Japan's steel industry and half the size of its car industry. Growth in exports of cultural products has been explosive, tripling to $12.5 billion from 1992 to 2002 while overall exports grew by only 21 percent, according to the Marubeni Research Institute.
To be sure, cultural products accounted for a tiny 2.9 percent of exports, but exporting culture can achieve something that selling all the cars and cameras in the world can't. It's called "soft power."
The term was first coined by Harvard University's Joseph S. Nye Jr. in 1990 and refers to the non-traditional ways a country can spread influence. The United States is the world's premier soft power, with its values, movies and blue jeans coveted and admired by people across the globe.
Although it still has the world's second-largest economy, Japan is no longer the economic superpower it was in the 1980s. Now more Japanese are talking about becoming a cultural superpower as a way to regain that influence and possibly even as a way out of its decade-long economic stagnation.
"Traditionally, America has taken this role," said Kubo, the creative director of publishing house Shogakukan Inc. "Maybe Japan must attach more importance to becoming a soft power from now on."
Already, Japan is headed down that path. More people are studying the Japanese language, according to the Marubeni Research Institute. More people are visiting Japan. Even Hollywood has jumped on the bandwagon.
In Sofia Coppola's Oscar-winning "Lost in Translation," the city of Tokyo -- its bright lights and go-go nightlife -- is practically a co-star. Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill" and the Tom Cruise vehicle, "The Last Samurai" are also set in Japan, though vastly different versions of it.
What's cool in America still matters here though. In an ironic twist, Japanese products that were ordinary when they were exported have come back, refracted through the American cultural prism, as cool.
"In the past, not many people noticed anime and manga could be that influential because it's been around so long," Kubo said. "They're noticing it now because America has noticed it."
As a result, anime is suddenly no longer just for the otaku, or nerds. Even Japanese men, lagging far behind their female counterparts in attracting foreigners of the opposite sex, have become more attractive, according to media here. The headline of a recent article in Aera, a leading weekly news magazine, read: "Japanese men are attracting foreign women. Made in Japan is popular."
Some credit "The Last Samurai" for giving a boost to Japanese masculinity. Certainly it has helped revive interest in bushido, the samurai code, and set off a small boom in sales of "Bushido: The Soul of Japan," the classic book on the topic.
How foreigners view Japan matters deeply to them.
"Japanese are so hyper-sensitive and cautious about how Westerners see them," said Yuko Kawanishi, a sociologist at Tokyo Gakugei University. "They've been mostly disappointed with the Western portrayal of Japan."
During the bubble years of the 1980s, Japanese were brimming with self-confidence, even arrogance. But the last dozen years of repeated recession and record unemployment, coupled with the rise of China, has weighed heavily on the Japanese psyche.
"The rising sun next door, which is China, has great economic potential," she said. "That awareness makes Japanese people think maybe our time is over."
Now that Japan is cool, "it's very flattering and self-assuring," she said.
Yet at the same time, Japanese are baffled as to why foreigners find their pop culture so "cool." Over at the Japan External Trade Organization, or JETRO, as they're trying to capitalize on the phenomenon, they admit they don't fully understand it.
"Recently, it's a boom. We want to ask foreigners why," said Makoto Kimura, head of JETRO's foreign trade division, which started promoting exports of cultural products only last year.
He says he watched anime as a kid but never thought it was especially cool.
"Maybe foreigners think it's cool because it's exotic," he said, taking a stab. "But more than that, maybe the high-tech is appealing. Maybe orientalism plus digitalism equals coolness."
Whatever the reason, manga is no longer a cult-like fad found only in specialty bookshops; it's available at a Wal-Mart near you. Revenue for TOKYOPOP, which distributes Japanese manga, music and videos, has doubled every year since the company started in 1996, said Brada-Thompson. Total manga sales in the United States were estimated at $100 million last year.
In Kubo's wildest fantasies, manga is the path to world peace.
"Since American kids have that perception (that Japan is a cool country), when they grow up, Japan and the United States can retain good relations," he said.

Hard to believe it's been more than half a year since I last posted here, but there you have it. During that time, I've been playing more music, seeing more shows than I could ever keep track of, and making a lot of new friends. In short, I've had little time to blog.
This year, however, does mark the return of Parlour to Parlour - you can read more about that in the announcement posted at Popdose last week. The first episode of the year posts today, and as before, I will update this space each time a new episode is posted. The new scheduled is last Monday of each month (though in December it will likely be the second to last Monday so I can have a break during xmastime).
Beyond that, I'm now playing bass in a band called The Beehavers. I've played two great gigs with them so far (at the Make-Out Room and at Kaleidoscope), and there will be more to come. On top of that, I'm singing backup vocals with a new group called Sugar Candy Mountain, featuring members of The Blank Tapes, fpodbpod, and the Ash Reiter and Anna Ash bands. Their live debut is scheduled for February 20 at the Make-Out Room. If you're in San Francisco that night, come on by and check us out.
That's all for now. More soon, and welcome back to the Parlour.

Survey finds 1 in 3 Brits would struggle to be offline for 24 hours
28th October 2015 11:44 - Telecommunications
According to research findings from Vodafone, millions of technology users in the United Kingdom could not go 24 hours without access to the internet, with the most frequent reasons cited as being the need to speak to friends, as well as the internet being part of modern day life.
The survey – which was conducted as part of Vodafine's Digital Behaviours research – revealed that 69 per cent of the respondents would not be able to cope during a digital switch-off due to boredom.
Ofcom data revealed that 69 per cent of adults in the UK use a smartphone, a testament to Vodafone's findings which revealed that 87 per cent of the respondents blame the increase of technology in modern day life on their dependency, saying "it's the way things are nowadays".
The survey findings also found other reasons as to why technology users would find switching off the internet so hard, such as needing digital products to manage their home, stay coordinated, work and to motivate themselves to hit the gym.
Cindy Rose, Consumer Director at Vodafone, said of the findings:
"Internet enabled devices bring a range of great tools and services right to your fingertips, and it's natural that people tend to use them more and more for work and play."
Rose also suggested that it is vital that families keep a balance when it comes to children using the internet.
"Despite this, it's still important for families to be able to balance online and offline from time to time," she added.
"Our aim is to provide our customers with the tools they need to easily manage that balance."
Vodafone also monitored the technological habits of families in the UK as part of its market research, and discovered that 34 per cent find it difficult to manage the amount of time their children spend on their mobile devices.
As well as this, 10 per cent of the parents in the survey said that they were concerned other adults will judge them based on how much time their child spends on the internet.

This guy got a little bit too close to my D.graminifolia.
John 3:16
My grow list/want list
Prior to the funeral home visit, we heard ~ "Hey'all watch this ! !"
That outta teach him a lesson he'll never forget! Nice picture.
"The tragedy of life is not that every man loses; but that he almost wins."

I watched a little spider get caught in my capensis 'alba' yesterday...
He was a fighter... he managed to slowly work his way to an escape.
Pour plant, maybe you should find the spider and steal one of his meals. (just a joke, I know he is a jumping spider)
A bit off topic...but what are D.graminifolias growing requirements? I was given one and it died. I grew it like I do my other tropical Sundews. I used the tray method. Initially I had it in full sun, but then moved it into half shade.

Barcelona to launch another bid for Liverpool star Philippe Coutinho in January after summer failure
Brazilian was desperate to make switch to La Liga but Liverpool held firm and Barca under pressure to make signings could try again in January
BARCELONA are to test Liverpool's resolve with another tilt at landing Philippe Coutinho, according to reports.
The Catalan giants made three huge bids for the Brazilian who tried to force through a move to the Nou Camp by slapping in a transfer request.
However, the Premier League side held firm and rebuffed all offers for their playmaker.
Spanish outlet Sport claim Barca will go back in for the 25-year-old Brazilian in January to boost the second half of their La Liga and Champions League campaigns.
Coutinho has not featured for Liverpool this season due to a back injury.
But earlier this month he played and scored for Brazil in a 2-0 World Cup qualifying win against Ecuador.
He was expected to part of Jurgen Klopp's squad to face Manchester City last weekend at the Etihad.
Despte his heroics in South America, Klopp did not think his playmaker was fit enough to take part in the defeat at City.

Barca top brass have come under huge criticism for what has been sen in Spain as a disastrous summer transfer dealings after failing with Coutinho and Paris Saint-Germain winger Angel Di Maria.
Barca have been desperate to bring in new recruits after seeing Neymar leave the club to join Paris Saint-Germain for a world record fee.
However, with both respective teams refusing to sanction transfers, Barcelona bosses' failings were highlighted in the press.
Catalan news outlets Sport and Mundo Deportivo showed no mercy in their slamming of the four-time Champions League winners.
Mundo Deportivo, whose headline read: "Couti-no", ran an exclusive on the Coutinho saga, saying talks for the Brazilian reached an impasse after Liverpool demanded £146.5m.

Jakarta Beginnings: Sunda Kelapa Harbour
The nearest most tourists ever get to Jakarta is a stopover at the airport in route to Bali. But it does have a few places tucked away here and there where the intrepid traveller or the Jakartan who simply can not stomach another trip to the mall might consider visiting. Sunda Kelapa harbour and its immediate environs is one such place. It is where the Dutch first set up shop and was a hotspot back in the days when spices of the south seas were a driving force in the burgeoning global economy. Eventually the area was abandoned by the Dutch. They moved inland to escape the disease and squalor of the low lying area. The port remained as a primary trading venue until the modern facility at TanJung Priok was built 20 kilometers away to accomodate the hulking bulks of modern day ocean going vessels. But Sunda Kelapa continues to be a vibrant port today dealing in interisland trade primarily between Jakarta, Sulawesi and Kalimantan. The centuries old traditional shipping routes are still followed and ancient methods of naviagtion practiced; the captain's deck is not equipped with modern day navigational equipment. The ships, known as bugis pinisi, are made by hand out of iron wood. Iron wood is soft when wet and thus pliable but dries into a very hard, durable wood. The schooners now use diesel engines but the sails are still in place just in case the 300 horsepower (about the size of the engines in Chevy pick up truck) engine conks out. Diesel power has cut the trip from Jakarta to Kalimantan, one of the main routes, from about a month to 3 days. The harbour is open to the public, the atmosphere is pretty laid back and it is possible to get up close and personal with the action. You can actually arrange to make the journey on a schooner through agents of the tourist department milling around the harbour. It would certainly be an interesting alternative to Bali for a long holiday weekend - sailing the south seas with the Bugis.
Two brand new Bugis Pinisi looking very pirate shippish. There were three brand new ships docked in the harbor when we visited. They take about two years to build and cost about 200,000 $ US. The ships are made in Sulawesi then sail to Sunda Kelapa harbour where they are painted before beginning their carreers. These beauties were waiting for their cosmetic makeovers.
Another view of the new ships. They can sail for 50 years before they are required by law to undergo a complete overhaul.
A view of the Bugis schooners lined up waiting for loading and unloading. The primary trade is in lumber from the islands coming to Jakarta and cement, flour, cloth and other processed items going outward. The wood is of secondary quality and is used in housing construction for frames and such. The top quality timber is exported internationally. According to one of the harbour fellows we chatted with, the stacks of lumber are quite smaller than in recent years when illegal logging in Jakarta was much more prevalent. Now most likely the illegal timber trade avoids high profile places like all together and involves more clandestine distrubution facitlites.
Low rider. Fully loaded with bags of cements and ready to make the return trip to Kalimantan. Cargoes of cement are a bit tricky due to the posibility of the cement taking on water and dramatically increasing in weight - not a good thing when riding that low. The long board strapped to the back right side (starboard stern??) of the ship is the rudder that is used if and when the boat is forced to rely on its sails for power.
Walking the gang plank with another low rider in the background.
All the loading and unloading is done by hand. The labourers live in a village nearby and work 10 hour days. They earn about 15 dollars a day - bit more if unloading cement - due to the unpleasant combo of sweat and cement dust. These guys were unloading lumber.
One man's trash is another man's treasure. A local gathering driftwood floating among the flotsam.
A purveyor of iced juice waits for a break in the action and potential customers from the cement crew.
Old school bicycle
On the other side of the harbour are larger boats. The work is done by a combination of hand labor and machines.
Down in the hold of a ship, workers unload another crane full of cement bags.
A view from the village that built up around the harbour. It is one of the oldest in Jakarta. It houses the laborers who load and unload the cargo and a community of local fisherman.

Good job, Daddy! This was really interesting. Someday you will have to take me there because it looks like quite a place to see. You are a good writer. I love you! Love, Emmerson xoxoxo

Mr. Duell-
Those ships look both fun and scary...
I was writing a quick note to you to say that Jared Diamond has a new book out...i am not sure how "new" it is, but it looked exciting so i bouhg it for a plane ride to North Carolina i have coming up soon.
Just a quick update- I am in my last year of school! (eek); this is my last semester stateside, and September 7th i leave for Uganda, Africa. I am pretty (ok, very) excited and kinda nervous. But then i am officially done with school. This summer i think i am working as a park ranger at a cave system in Oregon, so i am looking forward to that quite a bit. As for after school, i will either hop on the Peace Corps boat, get my TEFL, or go to Grad school for history....becoming a professor suits me i think, but i am not yet sure that i can deal with all of that school.
I really like reading your blog...but it makes my traveling bug so much worse!
Your baby is beautiful! I tend not to be partial to children, but i told my mom that i would have one if she was as cute as yours.
I hope you can find that Jared Diamond book in Indo. Have fun

Hi Indolan, what a wonderful blog you have here, even when I just finished reading your first post :-) I like how you captured those images...and you're a good writer for sure. It's great that you're enjoying your time in Indonesia and seeing things in totally different ways, appreciative ones, compare to me for example who is an Indonesian, live overseas now, and would see Sunda Kelapa area and surrounding...to be very very diry and not environmental-friendly at all. You see...different experiences, different perspectives..., but I'd like to appreciate my country more esp. since I've been far away it's more doable. I'd like to ask you if it's ok...to mention your blog in mine. I'd like my readers to read what you have to say about Indonesia...please let me know. Thank you and please do share with us more about Indonesia...
- IndoIan said...
Hi Saya. Thanks very much for your recent comments. Your country is wonderful - I just signed a contract for another year - but does have its quirks - as all places do. I hope that what I write does not offend and that I give a relatively accurate description of Indo, albeit from an expat perspective. Please feel free to mention my blog on yours. I think your cafe looks great.
- Maya said...
Hi Ian, I wrote about you in my blog...take a look :-) Also please compare my collection photos of Sunda Kelapa...thanks again.
Hi IndoIan,
what a nice story about sunda kelapa harbour. I bet the bicycle picture you posted is an "ojek sepeda" which is popular in North Jakarta -as compared to "ojek sepeda motor" we used to see in Indonesia.
Cheers, Melie
Well, I've just bought one of these Pinisi called "Kaïsso Kaïa" and I'm gonna charter her in Thai waters around Koh Samui in the south China sea starting around the 15th of june. If you ever feel like sailing one of those boats, I'll be happy to welcome you onboard... See you in Samui!

2012 and the Technology Blahs
Has American innovation taken a beating along with the economy?
Generally, at the end of the year, predictions stream forth as to how this or that new technology will transform the world in the next 12 months. Just before Christmas, IBM announced computerized mind reading was just around the corner -- sometime after 2017, that is. But on the whole, experts and analysts dont see a whole lot of innovation coming out of the U.S. anytime soon.
Instead, they see sluggishness.
"We'll have to wait for consumer spending to go up before the 'flying surfboard' arrives, Chris Stephenson, partner and co-founder at Seattle-based strategy consulting firm ARRYVE, told FoxNews.com. "Bigger innovation labs and companies are holding back on numerous innovations until they can properly monetize them."
Stephenson tried to put a positive spin on 2012's unexciting tech prospects.
We will continue to see innovation around cost savings and information flow, he said.
Other analysts were even more critical. Professor Michael Goul, chair of the Information Systems Department at Arizona State University's W.P. Carey School of Business, told FoxNews.com that "like a frog in a blender" last years tech predictions looked a great deal like those from the year before.
"For 2012, most predictions are -- again -- like another round of rehashed mash-ups, Goul said.
New technologies are no longer appearing in a flash and making a big impact: Theyre evolving slowly over time. And even though technology is more pervasive in our daily lives than ever, it's stagnating.
There's no stopping the momentum of consumerization of technology in 2012, said Nahum Gerson, a fellow at the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), which bills itself as the leading professional society for the advancement of technology.
But consumerization is not the same thing as innovation.Its incremental.
The top tech trends for 2012, therefore, are very likely to be similar to those seen for 2011 and 2010, with some small nuances, analysts say.
For example, as more and more smartphones populate our pockets, look for more hackers to target your Blackberry and iPhone, both at home and at work.
Smartphone owners are increasingly paying a high price for free mobile applications, with 2012 set to be a disruptive year of widespread mobile hacking, IEEE Fellow Dr. Jeffrey Voas, whose research has found malware in more than 2,000 free smartphone apps, told FoxNews.com.
Voas says free applications like those will be the most common access point for hackers over the next year.
Look for more innovations in social media next year, as well as the emergence of application stores and independent ratings for social media sites, research consultancy Gartner predicts.
Mobile tech continues to remake home and office life: Today's hyper-connected workforce is always on the go, and users are demanding mobile applications that mimic their desktop experience.
That means more media tables and tablets and more mobile-centric applications, experts predict. And -- of course -- cloud computing will affect consumers.
"Easing access to software applications not just email, which has always been an online app, but Microsoft Word and more on a per-use rather than per-user basis has been a corporate trend for years. Prices are dropping so fast that this ideology will spread further into the consumer market.
Yet there is hope for the long-term future of innovation. Traditional R&D hot-beds, start-ups and university laboratories, are still humming along, some say.
As far as universities go, innovation is alive and well," Ian Murphy, a spokesman for the University of Southern California, tells FoxNews.com. "Our spinouts -- companies formed from USC research -- have raised more than $380 million in financing over the past three years, at the height of the economic downturn.
A recent study we conducted also found that 19 percent of USC alumni have started at least one business, he added.
Murphy said there was a 13 percent uptick this academic year in students taking entrepreneurship classes at USC. He concludes that, if not today, and if not tomorrow, maybe innovation will return next week.
There is a compelling case for a strong innovation sector with a huge potential to trickle up into large businesses.
If it doesn't come from USC, there's always those mind-reading IBM machines."Watch what people are cynical about, and one can often discover what they lack. -- Gen. George S. Patton

So one Friday afternoon I was at the park with the kiddos and the other women there start talking to me about our kids. This is something that I love about Austin. People talk to me everywhere and ask me questions and share advice and if they know cool things to do with kids - they tell me about it. I mentioned that I wanted to take my kids to a pumpkin patch but one that is preferably cheap, like really cheap. One Mom knew just the place, the Elgin Christmas Tree Farm, then another told me how I could get Carson in for free - this is sounding better and better. I checked it out online, found a friend who wanted to go too, set a date, packed lunch, blew a tire in my double stroller on the way, and we were off. :)
We started off on the hay ride. Camilla and Carson both thought it was fun but wouldn't stay close to me. I kept getting so nervous that Millie was going to fall out.
Our first stop on the hay ride was the playground and tractor display. The kids had a great time playing and going down the slide and Millie was not to be left behind for one second, she was all over that.
Now you weren't supposed to climb on the tractors but really, how could you resist this photo opp?? When I asked Carson what his favorite part of the pumpkin patch was he said it was the tractors...totally worth the rule breakage.
Next stop: corn maze. Now the corn maze was a little low, we are in a serious drought here, but the kids didn't care and it made it way easier for us to know where the kids were all the time. Camilla had a hard time keeping up with the boys.
I love this picture:
Then we decorated pumpkins:
We took a quick stroll through the animals, it said you could pet them but with a warning that they might bite. No thanks you. :) Then we went on a train ride. The kids really liked this part, we got to sit in the caboose.
After this we went through one more maze and were ready to call it good.
They had this adorable little place set up for photos and this is the best I could get, it was a fun morning but my kids were very done by the end.

What's your theological worldview?

...a barely thematic journey through my tangentizing mental life...
Okay, so I'm jumping on the "What's your theological worldview?" bandwagon. I've seen this on so many blogs, I don't even remember where I first saw it, so I've no attribution to give. My first response to this is, "Neo-orthodox? Hmmm." So now I really do need to read Barth this summer. Yup.

It's probably best that you not mention the results of this survey at school until after you have your Talbot diploma in hand. :-)ReplyDelete
bwahaha... actually, we now have a Barth expert on faculty, so I'm in good shape there. It is true, though, that the emergent thing is touchy ground. Funny thing, though, when we had the conversation on campus a few months ago, a number of the CE profs wondered what all the fuss was about. Personally, as an avowed TULIP person, I found the Evangelical Wesleyan/Holiness rating a bit odd. Go figure.ReplyDelete

Obese youngsters are missing school due to the misery of bullying
Six in 10 obese children are victims of bullying and many are missing days from school as a result.
More than one-in-three children referred to the obesity service in Temple St Hospital in Dublin had emotional difficulties, a new study has revealed.
They suffered low mood, lack of self-esteem and were involved in deliberate self-harm.
This makes treating their weight issues more complex, the research led by Dr Samantha Doyle, lecturer in paediatrics in Temple St Hospital, said.
"Bullying represents a very big issue within our group," the study said.
"The social stigma attached to obesity clearly plays a big role and this is a barrier to treating obesity," the findings in the 'Irish Medical Journal' revealed.
As many as 12pc of the group of 111 children were missing days from school due to bullying.
Half of those who were teased were targeted by their peers, but in some cases it was strangers who harassed them.
The children with emotional difficulties who were at the start of treatment at the hospital's W82GO service were seen by the psychologist in the team.
In some instances they were sent to the child and adolescent mental health services for ongoing treatment.
The incidence of learning difficulties, as reported by parents, was 30pc.
Commenting on the prevalence of obesity, the research team said it was a problem of "epidemic proportions".
It spans all social classes and at age nine some 7pc of children are obese and 19pc overweight. "Overweight children are at significantly increased risk of becoming obese adults," it said.
It also said the retrospective review highlights the difficulties faced in treating these children as they have psychological difficulties which can affect their progress and make them a more demanding group of patients.
All professionals working with obese children must consider the psychological difficulties they have and the impact it has on their treatment.
"Left untreated, the health consequences of obesity are severe - therefore a multi-disciplinary team approach is needed," it said.
The treatment offered by the hospital is a group outpatient family-based lifestyle programme.
This is not always suitable as some children have problems with a group setting.
Many of the families attending the service whose children have behavioural difficulties are without professional help to support them.

So two weeks ago my friend Mae called me.
She knew that I was currently unemployed (which should be changing soon..hopefully),
and she needed help.
Since her husband Aj got a new job and they now work at the same time,
she needed someone to watch her adorable baby boy, Conner.
He was Born October 13th, 2008.
He is two weeks older than Avery.
I was totally stoked to do it and I have been watching him for two weeks now.
he is the CUTEST little boy ever huh?
he is SUCH a good baby.
he seriously doesn't cry unless he's tired
and sometimes hungry.
he is ADORABLE!!
one thing that I absolutely LOVE to watch,
is when my dog gets in Conners view.
He is the only baby I have seen that doesn't absolutely freak out when he sees my dog.
he laughs.
he LOVES him.
It's do adorable to watch.
he stopped smiling everytime I snapped a picture,
so this was the best one I got.
he's yummy.
I just want to eat him up.
My hope is that I get a job where I still get to watch him because he is SOO much fun.
The job I'm hoping for, would make it that way.

New York rapper 50 Cent is staying on his promotional grind. The hip-hop veteran has reminded fans of how big "Power" is outside of the United States.
Fif went to Instagram Monday (June 19) with some shots of "Power" getting love in Europe.
Earlier this month, "Power" duo Omari Hardwick and Joseph Sikora lit social media up with a joint pic.
Hours prior, 50 Cent pumped up the show's season 4 return.
In late May, "Power" promoted its season 4 comeback with a slew of pics and promo clips.

Morning Walk
Purportedly the weather would be on the high teens today. Well, it ain't all wrong.
The temperature was mild with light breezes with thick clouds, thus making it difficult for the sun to make its appearance.
Anyhow, we (the usual suspects bar one, who was down with cold) went on a planned brisk morning walk around my little kampung.
Back home, in my garden... more photo-ops for the ladies!!
Lunch was a simple Thai-style fare.
Cecilia made the deliciously spicy Papaya Salad, Gaye provided some crunchy fried salted fishes and I made Pineapple and Prawn fried rice with Thai Green Curry with Chicken.

The following post goes into detail about Psychic Near Me in Lindale Texas 75771.
Psychic Near Me Lindale Texas 75771
Let's take a few minutes and go over some of the numerous methods to find a psychic or medium – either local to you, or that is available to you in a practical and comfortable way. Remember, just because a reader is close and practical, however … it doesn't always suggest that the experience is going to ready. (or visa versa – often you have to extend yourself a bit to have a really extraordinary experience, and the very same uses to the spiritual field too)
That said – all the pointers listed below are simple, budget-friendly (as long as you remain cost mindful) and are tried and true techniques for the true blue followers, as well as the curious … but not convinced:-)
Sign up with a Meetup
Every city, and state has spiritual fulfill ups that accommodate the psychic exploration community and in all possibility, you will NOT have trouble finding one near you. (depending a bit on where you live and how large your community is, you might discover you have to drive a bit to obtain there, but for most of our readership, this is an excellent option) Have a look at meetup.com and simply utilize their search function to psychic and spiritual meet ups that are geographical hassle-free for you.Join a Spiritist church or company Spiritist churches( and spiritualist churches, comparable focus, different companies) both provide access to spiritual mediums as part and parcel of their "prayer" process. Some locations have more of these churches than others, but most big cities will have one near … and NO, you don't need to alter your underlying religious beliefs to join. (or to have some insane cool experiences with some extremely special mediums, at fraction of a fraction of the price you 'd pay to see a genuine "celeb" reader as well)
Recommendations and friends
Recommendations and recommendations stay among the BEST methods to find good, experienced and trusted psychics and mediums. You might have to push and prod a bit … as in some cases our loved ones do not desire us to understand that they've seen or spoken to a psychic or a medium. (something I always find ridiculous … however it surprises me the number of people will aim to lessen the idea, until they later on are comfortable adequate to confess they've had the experience, and it moved them deeply)
Online directory sites
Obviously we are prejudiced due to the fact that THIS is our online psychic directory.:–RRB- However a great, trustworthy directory site that notes psychic and spiritual professionals in your area or geographic location is a terrific method to discover regional assistance, and with websites like this one, and even other local directory sites that deal with more generalized audiences, you'll find great "gems" in the spiritual market that are well worth exploring.Craigslist Beware-
however Craigslist CAN be a fantastic location to discover cost effective local readers Don't give your charge card details out over the phone to a stranger, and DO do some due diligence first, however there are lots of legitimate psychics and mediums who promote on Craigslist since it's complimentary and popular, and we've had some great experience discovering some quality readers to discuss from online classifieds like CL.Review Sites Again- be careful as many psychic review websites are rip-offs,( and are written by online marketers and NOT mediums) but you can find local review directory sites like Yelp and similar to help you discover highly ranked and evaluated psychics and mediums where you live, work and play.TV and print media Last but not least, don't underestimate the TV, or regional publications (particularly if you live in a larger metropolitan area )along with any and all other media that has a section on lifestyle for the spiritual set. For example, I found one of my preferred mediums ever from a profile composed in a regional publication, and one of my closest buddies swears by a medium she discovered who does regional astrological charts for a town paper. (however whose focus is NOT astrology, but rather … her obviously extraordinary instinctive ability and her constant performance history of offering evidential details from the opposite … to ALL my buddies skeptical and negative peers, friends and family) Keep in mind -if you are seriously searching for a fun, evidential and amusing psychic reading- stick to a budget plan- do a bit of due diligence- DO N'T over examine or squander weeks searching for excellence,
and just dive in and indulge your curiosity.( if you are anything like countless our own readers for many years … it's a decision that COULD modification what you think forever ).

For the second game in a row, Russell Westbrook stuffed the stat-sheet with a triple-double—his fifth of the season—finishing with 13 points, 10 rebounds and 15 assists.
Kevin Durant added 24 points and ten boards, in the OKC Thunder's 99-74 blowout of the visiting Miami Heat.
Dwyane Wade turned 34 Sunday, and was asked to compare his gracefully aging game to the relentless explosion Westbrook plays with.
Per The Oklahoman:
But there Wade was Sunday night, getting serenaded with "Happy Birthday" from the Oklahoma City crowd — "That was cool," Wade said, "much appreciated." — and then threatening to send Loud City home unhappy. Wade scored 18 points first-half points, some on trick shots and Houdini moves, and Miami was down just two points. […] "His game is timeless," said Heat coach Erik Spoelstra.
In some ways, it was like watching a young Wade. There's really never been anyone like Westbrook, but I've always thought the closest thing to Westbrook has been a young Wade. Athletic. Multi-talented. Determined. Cold-blooded. […] "Reckless?" asked Wade. "He's even more athletic than I was, for sure," Wade said. "But I look at a lot of things he has, I see a player that's close to what I was when I was young. He's that kind of player. He's dynamic. He's very special."
Makes you sort of wonder what Westbrook will be like at 34. Will he be crafty? Will he rely on guile? Will he play more like Andre Miller than this Westbrook we've come to know? Or will Westbrook still be able to leap tall buildings in a single bound? […] "Nah, I take it one day at a time," Westbrook said after his second straight triple double and his fifth of the season. "I don't go with the future. I just wake up in the morning and take it one day at a time."

Jim Johnson walked off the mound at Camden Yards on Wednesday night, having just given up the one-run lead the Orioles had secured in the previous inning. A spattering of boos drizzled down upon him from above.
It was not what soggy and groggy fans wanted to see after sitting through an hour-long pregame rain delay.
I understand their frustration. I get that the paid ticket-holders have every right to boo whomever they feel like booing. But doesn't Johnson, who leads the major leagues with 27 saves, deserve better than this?
Last season, Johnson was the most reliable closer in all of baseball. He didn't overwhelm hitters but usually found a way to get it done. He converted 51 of his 54 save opportunities -- a ridiculous save percentage of 94.4 percent -- and had more saves than any Orioles closer had ever had in a single season.
