I decided to take off today, and give myself a 4 day weekend. It's been a good thing! Vance's mom came in on Friday night and we enjoyed some chicken off of Vance's grill . He's coming along, we just have to be patient since charcoal takes longer than gas. Everyone kept asking me if we had big plans this weekend. We didn't, and have just been playing by ear. Kinda fun, to not be overly-scheduled! Saturday Pat and I ran around town doing not much of anything. She bought Tabitha (her other daughter-in-law) and I some cute pants at Old Navy. We had dinner with the Bennages at Chilis. It was quite fun, as Adah remembered Pat from when she was 'little'. Kind of funny to hear that out of a nearly-4 year old.
Shannon sent me a great bunch of pictures of Dylan. For Momma's birthday, she took a bunch of pictures of him with silly hats on at the Party Store. She framed them, and they are all over their house. Here's my favorite:
I know, I'm not biased at all, but this kid is too cute! I told Momma she was going to need more space to display pictures when our little guy comes along.
Well, my Blueberry Cobbler just came out of the oven so we're heading over to Monday Night.
Hope you enjoyed my foray into adding links to a post.

First, we need some information so we can give you the best demo experience.
We speak to many educational institutions who believe that they can't adopt digital signage because it is too difficult or too expensive. ScreenCloud was designed to help change that.
With a consumer-grade screen, cheap media device, and simple CMS that can be managed from anywhere, sending content to screens throughout your school or college is easy.
ScreenCloud is a simple-to-use software system that gives any staff member the ability to control the screen outside of their classroom door. Screens can also be managed centrally, giving you full control over your organization's digital signage.
With a 25% educational discount and flexible use with any screen hardware, ScreenCloud remains an affordable network for schools, colleges and universities of any size.
ScreenCloud has a full App Store included in the price and the ability to add content such as image galleries, videos and web sites. This reduces the strain on marketing and IT departments, as anyone can create or utilize existing content.
As a sidenote, we love education and will always listen to and respond to your feedback. We're interested in helping schools to embrace digital technology; not just selling our software packages.
ScreenCloud can be used on any Android TV, no additional device or player needed. If you don't have an Android TV, ScreenCloud can be used on any regular TV paired with a cheap media device like those shown below.
To find out which device would be most suitable for your school visit our hardware selector.

ScreenCloud is the best decision we've made. It's been the ultimate affordable, attractive solution to digital signage. We already had everything in place - flatscreens and a fast, reliable Internet connection - but it took ScreenCloud to put it all together for us!
With school budgets, I found it very difficult to find a good, easy-to-use solution that was flexible enough and cheap enough for us to use, with buying players and so on. Until we found ScreenCloud we couldn't adopt digital signage. ScreenCloud is a digital signage vendor that has a great solution, great support and pricing for schools and they are a pleasure to work with

Controversial Bridge & Tunnel Toll Increases Take Effect
"Last week, AAA wrote to the U.S. Department of Transportation urging it to step in and block the increase and accusing the Port Authority of misusing funds that AAA says are supposed to be spent only on transportation.
"In this case, it's going into a speculative office development," the vice president of legal affairs for AAA, Marta Genovese, said at a news briefing.
The organization's spokesman, Robert Sinclair, described the toll hike as "an eggregious example of the motorists getting ripped off."
The organization has threatened to sue to force a rollback of the increases."
However, the Port Authority defended the increase as "absolutely necessary."
"Port Authority officials, who proposed the toll hike in August, said the money also will help pay for maintenance of tunnels, bridges and other transportation infrastructure. The agency, which also runs four major airports in the region, said more money also is needed to help cover security costs that have risen as a result of the 2001 attacks.
See more details of the new tolls here."
Fares on the PATH trains from Newark to Manhattan increased 25-cents to $2, and eventually $2.75.

Intended to improve patient safety, radio frequency identification (RFID) is used in many hospitals to track medical supplies and blood products. But in an alarming new study, Dutch researchers found that radio waves emitted by RFID devices caused electromagnetic interference with mechanical ventilators, external pacemakers, kidney dialysis machines, and other critical care equipment.
The research, which didn't involve patients connected to the equipment, was based on 123 tests conducted in an ICU. Electromagnetic interference occurred in almost 30% of the tests when a wireless device was within 1 foot of the medical equipment. About 20% of these involved potentially harmful or life-threatening malfunctions in such equipment as mechanical ventilators, syringe pumps, an intra-aortic balloon pump, and renal replacement devices.
Many hospitals use RFID to monitor inventories, prevent theft, and detect drug counterfeiting. The researchers call for updates of international standards and urge administrators to conduct on-site testing for electromagnetic interference from RFID devices used in their facilities.

Google delivers IaaS cloud without Windows support
Google's IaaS platform will compete with Windows Azure and AWS, but a major limitation may prevent enterprises from adopting Google Compute Engine.
Google launched its IaaS platform last week to compete with AWS and Windows Azure, but the Web giant may have an uphill battle with a cloud offering that only supports open source operating systems.
The Google Compute Engine, revealed during the Google I/O conference in San Francisco last Thursday, is an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) platform that allows customers to launch and manage virtual machines (VM) running either Ubuntu or CentOS Linux on one, two, four or eight virtual core instances with 3.75 GB of RAM per virtual core.
Being Linux-only cuts the number of potential enterprise users by a substantial percentage.
Roger Jennings, Windows Azure MVP and developer
Google executives emphasized its Compute Engine's scalability by demonstrating a genomics research application running on 600,000 virtual cores.
Some industry watchers said IaaS is the right direction, but others are a little confounded by Google's vision.
"The one thing that jumped out at me is they only support Linux in general -- and Ubuntu and CentOS specifically," said Mark Eisenberg, director at Fino Consulting, an enterprise application and cloud integration firm based in New York.
That seems pretty restrictive for an offering that is supposed to be based on empty VMs that customers configure in any manner they choose, he added.
Others agreed that a lack of Windows support will keep enterprise shops from using Google's IaaS.
"Being Linux-only cuts the number of potential enterprise users by a substantial percentage," said Roger Jennings, a Windows Azure MVP and developer in Oakland, Calif.
Google, Microsoft and AWS bet on IaaS
In early June, Microsoft announced updates to its Windows Azure cloud service to make it an IaaS player akin to Amazon Web Services (AWS), which also supports Windows.
Though Google Compute Engine only offers open source OS support, industry watchers say that Google has entered the IaaS game for the same reason Microsoft did.
Customers are not buying into [Platform as a Service] and the money is all in IaaS until 2015.
Mark Eisenberg, director at Fino Consulting
"Customers are not buying into [Platform as a Service] and the money is all in IaaS until 2015," Eisenberg said.
PaaS providers have discovered they need to support existing application models, and in many ways, IaaS is more suitable for that than typical PaaS offerings, said Al Hilwa, program director for applications development software at research group IDC, based in Framingham, Mass.
"While early adopters in cloud have been a lot of consumer, social and mobile apps, enterprise is where the money is ultimately, and offering a portfolio of IaaS and PaaS, including hybrid and compatible private cloud capabilities, is ultimately what is needed," Hilwa said.
Most analysts consider Google's new service to be an Amazon competitor, but Jennings considers it more of a Windows Azure competitor, when compared to Microsoft's June rollout of Persistent VM Roles.
In fact, AWS has little to fear from Google, at least for the time being, said Jennings.
"Google Compute Engine is a fledgling no-frills IaaS offering from an organization that knows how to keep a massive big data infrastructure running in the cloud," he said.
Google Compute Engine is available only as a limited preview so far and is still a ways from commercial release.

Since her coronation in 1952, the Queen has seen 12 prime ministers and 12 US presidents.
Today Queen Elizabeth II celebrates her Diamond Jubilee.
From the snowiest corner of her realm, comes the unveiling of a special Jubilee emblem carved in ice at Ottawa's annual Winterlude festival, amongst a series of celebratory gestures from across the Dominion of Canada.
The federal government revealed in December that it had set a $7.5-million budget to celebrate the royal anniversary. Most of which is earmarked for the Jubilee medal presentations, which are to be held in Ottawa and at provincial capitals throughout 2012. More than 60,000 of the country's most dedicated volunteers and outstanding achievers are to be awarded the Jubilee medal.
Canada Post will issue a set of commemorative stamps marking each decade of the Queen's reign, including one design that recalls the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth's own great-great grandmother, Queen Victoria, in 1897.

Browser Detection with Conditional Comments
March 9th, 2006
A very common operation when designing Web pages is to detect the browser type and browser version. This is called browser detection and is used to make sure that what is presented to the browser is compatible and handeld correctly.
There are many different methods to detect what browser a user have. The majority of these methods use either client-side or server-side scripts.
Conditional comments is a script-free client-side alternative to the more common scripted browser detection methods.
Although there are many good browser detection scripts, conditional comments is a strong alternative that in some cases offer certain advantages, especially when dealing with Internet Explorer.
Syntax of a HTML Comment
For comparison I first demonstrate the well known HTML comment. As you
probably already know, the comment tag is used to insert a comment in the source code:
|A HTML comment
<!-- Something... -->
A HTML comment will be ignored by the browser, hence not be visible to users. It is often used to explain the code, which can be helpful later on when you or someone else need to do some code changes.
You can also store program-specific code inside HTML comments. Comments will not be visible for the user, but they will still be available to the program.
It's a good practice to comment the text inside the script and style elements to prevent older browsers that do not support scripting or styles from showing it as plain text.
Syntax of Conditional Comments
Any browser except for Internet Explorer 5 and later versions are
There are two primary conditional comment types:
<!--[if expression]> Something... <![endif]-->
<![if expression]> Something... <![endif]>
A downlevel-hidden conditional comment is a comment that can contain HTML code which is ignored in downlevel browsers. Internet Explorer 5 and later versions download and parse the content if the expression is true.
Because the beginning and end characters of the comment are identical to a a standard HTML comment, all downlevel browsers fail to recognize the conditional comment, including the content inside the comment. In other words, downlevel browsers treat this comment as a regular HTML comment and – therefore – any content inside the comment block is effectively hidden from the downlevel browser.
downlevel-revealed conditional comment is a comment that can contain HTML which is parsed in downlevel browsers. Internet Explorer 5 and later versions download and parse the HTML content if the expression is evaluated as true.
Since downlevel browsers doesn't recognize the downlevel-revealed conditional comment it downloads it without doing anything with it and then continues downloading and parsing the rest of the Web page. Downlevel browsers ignore this type of conditional comment, but they do not ignore the content inside it.
How to use Conditional Comments
Conditional comments are very practical to use to handle Internet Explorer, especially if you're using CSS. Since Internet Explorer has a lot of bugs in its rendering of CSS it's in my opinion best to have a separate style sheet for handling IE.
If you place it second in your XHTML head, the cascading nature of CSS will insure that your IE styles will over-rule your non-IE styles.
For example:
<link href="allbrowsers-including-ie.css" media="screen" type="text/css" />
<!--[if IE]>
<link href="ie-only.css" media="screen" type="text/css" />
"allbrowsers-including-ie.css>" style sheet file in the example above
will be used by IE, but anything in
"ie-only.css>" will take precidence and over-rule the rules defined in it.
There are many different ways to use conditional comments, but here are some of the more common onces:
Style Sheets presented to IE except the upcoming version IE 7
<!--[if lt IE 7]>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/ie.css">
Does the same as above
<!--[if lte IE 6]>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/ie.css">
Hiding HTML from IE
This is what Microsoft suggests, but it's not valid HTML:
<![if !IE 5]>
something hidden from IE
This is not what Microsoft suggests, but it's valid HTML:
<!--[if !IE]>-->
something hidden from IE

The coast of Tasmania is not just limited to north, south, east or west. Unlike the other Australian states, Tasmania, being an island, has coast all around. Just one of the many reasons Tasmania is so special.
Tasmania's north coast faces the mainland, with Bass Strait in between.
There are a number of interesting towns here.
Devonport is a vibrant coastal city,
home port to the Spirit of Tasmania vessels. Tasty Tasmanian produce, great shopping, lovely walks can all be found here.
Burnie is the fourth largest city in Tasmania
and best known for its busy container port and major industries. It has modern cafes and a strong arts community.
Bridport has a variety of attractions including bushland and wineries. It is well known for the Bridestowe Estate Lavender Farm, one of the world's largest lavender oil producers. It is from Bridport that you can travel by sea to Flinders Island.
Located in this region is
Launceston, Tasmania's second largest city.
Situated at the head of the beautiful Tamar river, it has Australia's largest intact collection of 18th century buildings.
Major industries supporting the north coast would be tourism, paper making, farming and fishing.
The east coast of Tasmania is known for its white sandy beaches. This is where you'll find
Freycinet National Park, the most popular National Park in Tasmania, and for good reason too.
Major towns on the east coast include the fishing ports of Bicheno and St Helens.
Tourism and fishing are the lifeblood of the communities in this part of Tasmania. Popular tourist attractions include
wildlife watching in Bicheno
the history of Maria Island.
You'll also find plenty of vineyards around here.
Most of the south coast is occupied by the Southwest National Park, Tasmania's national park.
On the south coast, there are some lovely beaches, for example, Deep Hole Bay.
Also on the south coast is the fishing port of Dover. Situated at the head of Esperance Bay, it overlooks three islands named Faith, Hope and Charity.
From Kettering you can travel by ferry to
beautiful Bruny Island, which has some of the highest sea cliffs in the world.
Close to the south coast is
Hobart, Tasmania's charming capital city.
Apart from tourism and fishing, industries supporting this area are shipping (Hobart) and manufacturing. There is a wide range of products including chocolate, beer, spring water, wine and boats.
This is where you'll find some of the most pristine natural wilderness in Tasmania. It should come as no surprise then that there are not too many coastal towns here.
Strahan is the only major town situated on the coast and it has lots to offer.
Other towns include Queenstown, Zeehan and Rosebery.
This part of Tasmania is a paradise for serious bushwalkers. The Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park is situated here. They are called "Wild Rivers" for good reason!
As you can probably guess, the major industry here is tourism. Mining brings in some revenue too.

At ASCO 2015, health care providers (HCPs) discussed a number of tumor types and clinical trials. Melanoma experienced a strong spike in social-media buzz this year, with the number of related tweets jumping 3.6 times to nearly 2,000 tweets over ASCO 2014. The CheckMate 067/069 trial dominated Twitter volume, and over 70% of MDs who tweeted shared positive opinions about the trial. By contrast, physicians appeared less impressed with pembrolizumab's results, with only 36% sharing positive sentiments on a significantly lower volume of tweets.

BODY + MIND Balanced.
Natural Ingredients, Natural Benefits
Ever since the origins of the Indian spice trade, people from around the world have been trying to incorporate traditional Indian herbs and medicines into their daily health routine. In ancient Ayurveda traditional practice of Dhum Pan, many natural herbs were smoked for a wide variety of therapeutic benefits.
Now technology has caught up with the traditional medicine, but the herbs are all still the same. Bosellia, ginger, turmeric, and more are all still used for the therapeutic compounds in the plant. However, pure CO2 extracts from these herbs are blended and vaped instead of inhaling harmful smoke. Our patented blends of the best natural herbs are used in holistic healing centers and doctor's offices around the country.
Here are some of the top natural herbs and spices in our vapor blends:
• Flax Seed Oil
• Cardamom
• Ginger Root
• Boswellia
• Tumeric
• Cinnamon
• Saffron
Balance Your Body and Mind.
Modern life is filled with enough distractions and temptations as it is, so we designed our vape oils to be the perfect balance for your body and mind. Use our four blends of therapeutic herbs to access several modalities throughout your day.
The Herbal NRG blend is perfect for starting your day and getting active. The Clarity blend is amazing for focusing your attention and getting the task at hand completed. The Movement blend is just the right formula to relieve joint pain and inflammation. And the Relaxation blend is exactly what the name implies, a great way to calm your nerves after a long and productive day.
100% Pure Herbal Vapors.
After extraction, every batch of our patented vapor oil is analyzed with a variety of physical and chemical tests like: pH acidity, total solids content, specific gravity, temperature profile, and purity to ensure we are producing the highest quality vape oil possible. Chemical assays like HPLC and GC for active compounds are also performed, as well as microbiological and heavy metal testing as is standard in the food industry. We do all of these quality assurance tests in order to craft the finest and purest vape extraction oil possible.
The Power of Whole-Plant Hemp Extract.
Hemp is one of the most nutritious staple foods in the world, and is now being regarded by nutritional experts as another superfood. The seeds of the hemp plant are extremely high in beneficial nutrients, like omega-3 fats, fiber, protein, and essential amino acids. Hemp oil is rich with omega-3s, anti-oxidants, and a family of cannabinoids unique to the hemp plant. Cannabidiol is just one of over 85 cannabinoids identified in the hemp plant, including CBG, CBV, CBC, and CBCV.
For the Hempology line, we have combined the restorative power of Dhum Pan with the therapeutic effects of whole-plant hemp extract. We specially mix our patented blends of herbal vape oil with high-quality whole-plant hemp oil, resulting in a synergistic effect of the therapeutic oils.

The 3rd edition of PrintPack Arabia, which was held at Expo Centre Sharjah from December 11 to 14, 2017 along with the 'Arabiamold' and 'Plastivision Arabia, saw the participation of more than 120 exhibitors from 11 countries. The just-concluded Plastivision Arabia international trade fair and conference served as a bridge between the region's plastics industry and global equipment manufacturers, suppliers and dealers.
Organised jointly as three specialised trade shows that catered to the plastics, printing & packaging and the mold-making industries, the multi-industry trade event attracted close to 5,500 visitors from 63 countries during its three-day run.
"The 4th Plastivision Arabia played a key role in highlighting untapped growth opportunities in the region, and underscored the fact that expansions as well as an improved product portfolio will help regional companies strengthen their grip in a high-growth market," said Abdullah bin Mohammed Al Owais, Chairman of Sharjah Chamber of Commerce & Industry and Expo Centre Sharjah.
"Along with rising spending on infrastructure for mega events like World Expo 2020, improving macro fundamentals of the region will also support the expansion and development of the entire downstream industry," Al Owais added.
"In a rapidly-evolving and competitive environment, industry players need to monitor performance and make critical decisions for growth and profitability. The success of the show is a true reflection of the phenomenal growth of the plastics industry and its quest to achieve more," said Saif Mohammed Al Midfa, CEO, Expo Centre Sharjah.
The fastest growing end-user segment for the plastics sector is industrial packaging, followed by consumer and construction segments. Plastics consumption is increasing rapidly in the GCC, added Al Midfa. As per recent reports, at nearly 25%, the UAE has fastest growing plastics industry market in the GCC in the past decade.
The 4th Plastivision Arabia 2017 was organised in association with All India Plastic Manufacturers Association (AIPMA), which facilitated large participation by Indian machinery makers and suppliers.

...an ant at a fourth of July picnic. So, I'm just dropping in here for a minute to share a few pictures from the book signing last Sunday.
For those of you who aren't familiar with Book Woman, it's been around Austin for quite a few years. It's also, as far as I know, the only independent feminist bookstore in town. I think it's a terrific store and I was so excited to have my first event there. Even my folks drove in from Houston.
See that bald head there? That's my dad. And do you see what section of the store he's facing toward?
Yep. My mid-seventies dad is staring right at the "women's erotica" section. It made for some interesting questions after the book signing.
I think that despite his bewilderment at exactly what kind of titles constitute women's erotica, he and my mom seemed to enjoy themselves.
I had, for one, had a blast.
Hey, but the celebration's not over. I do have another book event scheduled in early December, but, even as I speak, Erin from House on Hill Road, is showing off a terrific project she made with some of my hand dyes and hosting a book giveaway.Why not head on over there and share in the fun?

Isn't it funny how all little Jewish men look the same from the back?
Looks just like my dad (but with darker hair).
My dad would be looking at the women's erotica too.
Glad it was a good event.

Why People Think Services Are A Good Idea
Information on Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Rehabilitation covers several areas to include mental health, physical injuries, and addictions. Most people have heard of alcohol and drug rehabilitation as it the most commonly sought after type overall. The sad truth is that millions in the world have had a drug or alcohol problem that has reached an unhealthy abuse level. People with substance abuse problems typically need drug and alcohol rehab facilities due to their tremendous resources and skills in helping with these specific issues. Facilities that offer these treatment programs are experienced at giving people the chance that they need to get free of their addictions and behaviors that are holding them back. Many that are addicted to drugs or alcohol addiction have a drastic change in attitude and personality that is very apparent to friends and family. The scientific explanation for these behavioral changes has to do with a change in brain chemistry from abusing chemicals. These changes can often make a person act impulsive and make decisions that aren't thought out or coherent when compared to a sober person. People are treated with many proven health techniques to ensure that they can recover with success. There are some drug and alcohol rehab programs that offer gender and age-specific treatment options for safety and comfort. Gender specific treatment are great options for patients that need to feel a certain level of comfort or security due to personal reasons. An age specific program is excellent when a person wants to be surrounded by others in their demographic and that they could have things in common with. One big misconception is that people are forced to stay in rehab without a say. It is important for patients to understand that they can leave if they choose to. Programs let people leave if they choose to because it is a voluntary program that people must be fully committed to. Some check out before the end because they may feel that they are ready to embrace the changes and stay sober with the tools they learned in treatment. The goal is that patients will stay the recommended length of time for the highest odds of being successful in sobriety upon their leaving to re-enter society. There are various types of drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers out there. People will see everything from places that offer only the essentials all the way to places that have plush living quarters and extravagant amenities. The extravagance of the facility doesn't matter as much as how good they are at helping people with recovery. Looking up reviews on programs and asking for testimonials is vital to figuring out how good a rehab really is. Most will have to go through a detoxification process before rehabilitation can begin. Detoxification should be completed only with the help of a medical facility armed with professionals that know how to medically assist in the entire detox process.5 Takeaways That I Learned About Experts

New painting tools: Watercolor, Pollock, and iPhone
- David Lenaerts has created "Farbe," a very cool watercolor painting simulation that runs in Flash thanks to Pixel Bender.
- Disney artist Stef Kardos shares a whole series of paintings made on an iPhone, created via the natural media app Brushes. Here's a speed painting demo showing it off. [Via]
- I've always dug Miltos Manetas's Flash-based Jackson Pollock drawing toy (all 8kb of it). Now he's bringing the same features to the iPhone, adding support for multitouch painting & the accelerometer.
- ≪ Slick typographic apps: Hidden messages & more
- Home
- Wednesday Illustrations: Excellent Photoshoppery, scary logos, & more ≫
All I can say about Stef Kardos is Wow! Could this be the future of a new art media? It's so immediate and impressionistic. Now I'll have to buy an iphone and Brushes just to create this type of art. Does any one know if the resolution would be good enough to print or is it just screen resolution?
The watercolor filter is great. Do you think they will offer that for Photoshop as a pixel bender filter?
Some nice uses of Brushes here
And some stunning Stop motion here that I'll think you'll like John.
Go to third 'image' down for the video itself.
How do you find the Media App Brushes that Kardos used for his iphone pictures?
So where the heck is Farbe for the iPhone? Can't find any similar program that does watercolor like that on the app store. Grr….

To pass in multiple values, repeat the parameter. For example, if you specify
productKeyword=Brand:Toyota and
productKeyword=Brand:Honda, listings with either Honda or Toyota will be returned.
Important Note: When filtering by product keyword it is important to remember that not all listings will have product keyword information, and that the number listings searched will be much less than what would be searched otherwise.
Important Note: Field and value in product keyword are case-sensitive.
For example, to search for restaurants that accept Visa:
You can also search for multiple payment types:
This will return listings that accept either Visa or cash.
Available Product Keywords
Product keywords are returned as part of each listing when performing a search (see Listing Schema). You can use the values returned in each listing as input to this filter.

BTW, I was just setting up to take the photo and hubby walks past and goes...'pretty card, but I don't like the butterfly much!'. WT? I studiously ignored him...which spoke volumes methinks ;-).

A great way to spend a Sunday evening with family, and the weather was great too! Look at that background, we were not complaining.
No parking fees, plenty of food choices, a variety of music and lots of things to do for little and big kids.
Downtown Disney, I got my money's worth.

I keep seeing disturbing news reports. Not about foreign affairs either.
These things are happening right here at home in the land of the free and the home of the formerly brave. Our fore parents came here in large part to found a country where we could practice our Christianity without punishment. This has changed.
The news reports I am seeing deal with things the world does not see as important, or even things the world has decided we as Christians need to accept and shut up about.
A bakery is closing. Why? Because it doesn't have the support it needs from the Christian community. A group of activists gets to celebrate because they won a victory over Christ. How sad is that? People say they trust God, but when a thug confronts them and says they can't follow him, they slink away like mice.
Why is it activists for satan can gather large crowds and the church stays away? Why are Christians not pushing through the crowd in support and solidarity with the bakers, the photographers and others who are being threatened and sued and charged with crimes because they take their Faith seriously in ALL aspects of their life? Personal and business.
Remember how strong the church, the true church, not the denominations we each claim, is. God says the church itself, is so strong the gates of hell cannot prevail against it. So why are we letting the bullies on the block hold us down?
I don't care what steeple you worship under. If you are sanctified by the blood of Christ you need to get your armor on and prepare to fight. The church has grown weak, begun to think like and accept the world's ideas of peace. For too long we have heard meek and mild when Christ himself was strong and fierce when confronting sin. He was not meek in the temple, was he? There can be no peace between the sons of satan and the church of God.
It seems to me too many Christians have misplaced their fear. Their fear is aimed at the government, activist groups, thugs, terrorists. They have forgotten their God is the only one worthy of their fear and if they are his, he will protect them. Granted this does not mean physical protection necessarily but we are told not to fear him who can destroy the body, but him who can destroy both the body and the spirit. Who can do that? God.
God will be the victor, we have to make a choice, will we join him, or be against him, there is no other option.

Just returned from the The Borealis Festival for Contemporary Music in Bergen, where I presented a lecture at Landmark and played a Whistle Pig Saloon concert with Robert van Heumen at Logen Theatre. Many thanks to festival director Alwynne Pritchard for the invitation, it was a really great experience, and to Trond Lossius, director of The Bergen Center for Electronic Arts (BEK) who generously provided rehearsal space and recording equipment.
Apart from the gloriously light filled studio at BEK, which is on the ninth floor, right next to the water, with a balcony :o) …the two festival highlights for me were:
MEM1: who started very minimal, so incredibly slow and quietly creeping that I was initially underwhelmed. Quite suddenly though I felt paralysed and lost in their textures, the tension became incredible, I was standing throughout their set, increasingly (and painfully) aware of my body, its aching limbs and muscles. Various audience members were leaving their seats, but I couldn't move to sit, they appeared to articulate the impossibility of silence, and in constantly toying with the ambient noise floor foregrounded 'static' in all senses of the word. When they eventually surged forward in volume and presence, the sense of relief and completed trajectory was sublime, they had departed, we (the audience) had merely detained them for a chat, they obliged us for a while, and then they were gone, it was time to sit.
Pascal Baltazar and Bjørnar Habbestad performed a series of solo works and duo improvisations using a high powered four channel system, very gestural and impressive with chaotic sources frequently fractured by causal intent. Bjørnar's use of flute and electronics was very interconnected, really exposed his respiratory system, but with active footwork manipulating the electronics, his approach to 'touch' and 'control' seemed quite unique, drawing multiple layers of interactions from his body. Pascal's table-top setup respond to gestural input and performer effort in an excitingly non-linier and unpredictable manner, very effective four-channel panning too.
WPS @ Logen Theater 27/03/2009
In preparing for this concert we discussed some strategies, based mainly around guitar patch/LiSa sample combinations, so for example my 'ring modulation' patch seemed to work well with Robert's 'wind sample', this emerged as being the obvious starting point, my rough notes for the set:
Start (using above combinations)
Build in intensity to a point where John drops out, leaving 'small little sounds' (repetitive loops) from Robert.
John comes back in with granular patch 'vertical guitar' balancing etc (confuses the predefined 'wiimote mappings', building in intensity, then again dropping out, this time leaving Robert exposed with more repetitive loops going in and out of phase with each other….
John sits down (which affords a different approach, balancing objects on guitar strings etc) …quieter section leading to
'build up' with ebow.
Robert starts final piece forcefully and alone, leading to faster sampled sections, John finds a 'way in' and is treated to faster sampling.
Not sure to what extent we stuck to this, I discovered a couple of strategies during the gig: moving from a sitting to standing position with the ebow balanced on/and sliding along the neck of the guitar, and some high volume filtered feedback stuff. Maybe this distracted me from the planned structure. But we took some risks, engaged with the result and lost all sense of time, I think we can agree that the structure was a useful stimulus and loose enough to not threaten creative flow, even if there was some confusion (sorry Robert!). The second photo was taken (audibly) by Thor Brødreskift in the moment of near-silence where the ending announced itself, this seemed to come from nowhere (for me at least) but that was it. Done. No question that we could play any more, maybe Thor knew something we didnt…
See Robert's comments re our performance strategy here. Maybe, 'how best to integrate structured sections within an inherently improvised practice?' is a question that I need to investigate?
I look forward to hearing the recordings. More photos here.

Coast, Valley, Inland Oregon and Portland to Get Drenched by Storm
Published 10/23/2014
(Portland, Oregon) – Another sizable storm is coming for Oregon, Portland, the Willamette Valley, southern Washington and the Oregon coast, and then another is likely on the way for the weekend.
It's not good news for the eclipse today or for commuters, but storm watching will be awesome.
The National Weather Service (NWS) in Portland said no heavy winds are predicted for the coast, but it will be a bit more soggy than Portland, Salem, Eugene and other parts of the state. An inch and a half to as much as six inches will be drenching the region, and the NWS warns of urban flooding.
"A moist and slow-moving frontal system is bringing widespread heavy rain to southwest Washington and northwest Oregon," the NWS said. "The heaviest rain will slowly shift southeast through Thursday night before becoming confined to the Lane County Cascades overnight."
The NWS said to expect numerous post-frontal showers to continue across the region through Thursday with a break on Friday and more coming shortly after.
Storm rainfall totals upwards of 1.5 to 2.5 inches are expected in the inland valley by Thursday afternoon. Oregon coast towns are expected to get hit with two to four inches of rain. The winner by a long shot will be the coast range, which could get as much as six inches of rain, along with the Cascades.
Minor urban flooding is possible due to autumn leaves clogging storm drains. Additionally, there is a possibility of minor flooding along some of the faster-responding streams and rivers, including those on the north Oregon coast that have a tendency to overflow. The NWS said heavy rain coupled with burn scar areas from wildfires this year in the Cascades could produce landslides and debris flows.
The NWS will be monitoring these closely.
Look for a lull in the downpour later on Thursday and early Friday, but the NWS said another strong system may affect part of the area on Friday evening and then continuing through the weekend. The NWS said details are still not certain, but it appears southwest Washington and northwest Oregon are in for more.
Storm watching along the Oregon coast will be good but stay away from the beaches. You can view such conditions better from rocky spots that have safe, distant parking areas, like Yachats, Oceanside, Pacific City, Depoe Bay and just south of Cannon Beach.
So far, predictions are not good to see the solar eclipse today, but it may actually be a little easier to see with a camera. You will need equipment that can greatly darken the exposure. The eclipse really gets going between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m., and you may to see the eclipse with the camera through the thick cloud layer.
Do NOT look directly at the sun if it has come out for during the eclipse.
More Oregon weather here. More Oregon coast weather here. Great places to storm watch on the Oregon coast safely from a warm lodging. .

It is a marvellous adventure – when you can go back home
We again set out to help refugees in the Balkans just as we did last winter. For a week, we worked in two refugee camps, Adaševci and Principovac, near the town of Šid.
Photo: Lucie Karmová
It's the first day. I have barely seen anything yet, nor spoken to anyone. But even from the tiny peeks into the lives of the local inhabitants that I have been able to get, I feel disgusted.
The refugees are squeezed together in a former motel near a gas station along the highway from Belgrade to Zagreb, with cars whizzing by only ten meters away and a mess all around, washed clothes drying on rusty fences.
There are also the so-called "rub-halls," big tents with bunks for tens of people, where mainly men sleep.
The motel resembles a squat. There is a sudden racket – a pack of children running through the corridors. Rooms are divided by grey blankets instead of walls, obviously with more than one family living inside. The word "privacy" has likely been erased from these people's dictionaries. Someone is trying to Skype home with headphones on at the reception desk. The wi-fi is awfully slow and does not cover the whole motel.
The barracks smell like dirt, but there is nothing to clean them with. There is no room for common activities – for playing, drinking tea, screening films, lecturing, nothing. No entertainment, no school, no work. Only a total of ten people have officially managed to get over the border in the last month. The rest are waiting, sitting on the benches in the hall, staring silently at the highway out the window, wandering back and forth. Boys are kicking a ball, children playing with garbage, men smoking.
One volunteer finds a record holder: someone who has been stuck here for eight months. Young men without families have the smallest chance of being allowed to cross.
I would go mad being in such a place for even a month.
How long can hundreds of men endure this hopelessness before something goes terribly wrong?
They say men hang themselves here from time to time.
Compared to the barracks, it smells good in the laundry room. Families can wash one or two loads of laundry per week. We wash their clothes on a 17-minute programme at 30 degrees, and hand it back wet, heavy, poorly rinsed and full of soap bubbles – but it is better than washing it in a sink.
Children sometimes invade the laundry room. They are all beautiful, looking at us curiously. We caress and cuddle them, and then quickly make them leave; the buttons and circles on the washing machines are too tempting for them.
The next night, I find myself in a Czech xenophobe's nightmare: I am alone in a giant tent with almost 150 swarthy men. In Principovac, the volunteers have to take turns doing guard duty in the tents as a quid pro quo for the Commissariat permitting us to distribute hygienic packs to the refugees. We assist in calming down the sometimes tense atmosphere and observing the bans on smoking, cooking and playing loud music so the majority of people have a chance to sleep.
This place is different from Adaševci, where volunteers sometimes tell stories about knife fights breaking out. I would definitely not be surprised if the refugees lose control from time to time, with almost 150 people squeezed into one "room" (although at times I saw as many as 200 there at once) and two-storey blocks where only hanging blankets create the impression of privacy.
I feel like a jail-house would look better than this.
The tent is a kind of Babylon. I have been sitting with one group for a while, and the easiest way to communicate is to speak French. A Moroccan translates the words into Arabic for an Iraqi, an Iranian and a Syrian, and the Iranian translates them into Farsi for the Iranian Kurds.
We accept an offer of tea. As Czech volunteers, we have a reputation and a special position among the locals. All of them understand what a terrible calamity it would be for everyone if something happened to us. People in the tent are a very diverse group, and everyone watches everyone else. I asked my friend Radka if she had ever been harassed in the camp. She drily replied that she was facing harassment everyday – from the guys employed in the Serbian Commissariat for Refugees and Migration.
The gentlemen prepare some terribly sweet tea. I sip it and want to let it circulate amongst the crowd, but alas, I have to drink it all by myself. We are then taken from this group by another invitation to have a meal with a young Iranian, Reza. In the end, I am as full as a ball, but it is impossible to reject the food. It goes on like this until 1 A.M.
People are constantly haggling with each other; a group of guys are playing cards and hooting while being shouted at by others to shut up. Others are listening to loud music. When I see someone with a cigarette, I try to persuade him to finish it outside. If I only warn them, they simply smile, hide the cigarette and continue smoking. But when I stand and wait until they go out with me, it's like a kind of negotiation for them, and so it's okay.
The majority of people fall asleep at 3 A.M. when the machine producing hot air ceases to work. The temperature falls to zero in a couple dozen minutes.
I let it be, wearing thick socks and covering myself with two blankets, but it is clear why everybody is coughing and sneezing here.
When the morning approaches, I think to myself that it was a nice experience for one night, but in my mind I am in my hot shower at home.
Throughout the next day and night, I am pretty busy.
When I go into the tent, a lot of people greet me as if they have known me for a long time. Soon I am sitting on a bunk with a group of Afghans and Pakistanis, and in ten minutes we are discussing religion.
They did not hear it from the Czechs for the first time, but still they are still surprised to hear that I have "no religion". My hosts' poor English unfortunately (ha ha) does not allow us to engage in a deeper theological conversation. Clearly if we went deeper, we would find a lot of areas of friction. Eventually we agree that we are all "brothers and sisters", supported by a remark by one man that his cousin's wife is a Christian and it is okay.
I ask an Iranian why he left his country. He tells me that people in Iran are not free. He mentions the alcohol ban, and then he turns away and pulls up his sweatshirt. For the first time (and I hope for the last), I see a human's back mutilated by tens of crisscrossing scars caused by lashing. Who knows whether the religious police caught him during a raid on a party, or if he was moonshining schnapps secretly, or if he took a walk with a woman who was not his wife?
It sometimes starts to seem like one big, fun party – until I see someone sitting in between the bunks with a crying baby in his or her arms. Or I spot someone going barefoot. Or I stop to listen to the constant coughing and sneezing. Or I watch two men washing their sweatpants in a bucket and spin-drying them in the frosty air outside. And most importantly, until the moment I remind myself again that I do not have to be here and I will be going back home in two days.

Which of These Two is the Best Food Market in Madrid?
Connect with me on
Choosing the best food market in Madrid shouldn't be too difficult. Madrid is, after all, a city to be eaten through, a city of interminable tapas, taverns, restaurants and bars with as much solid as liquid sustenance.
And now it is also a city of markets, revitalized after years of decay.
When I was a child growing up here, we went to the market, and I remember learning how to – in those pre-cellophane days – gently nudge produce and look for the crispest celeries, the greenest salads, the reddest radishes.
Eventually the time-consuming habits of housewives – you rarely see a man shopping in a Spanish market – evolved towards convenience. Shopping carts on wheels replaced wicker baskets hooked lazily over an arm, and produce markets gave way to supermarkets. Women had entered the workforce and no longer had time for leisurely shopping. Nor did all middle-class families have a maid, usually a young girl from the countryside.
The result of this shift was the beginning of the end of large, weekend markets. Until relatively recently, what are now considered Madrid's two best food markets were slated for destruction, no longer relevant, no longer needed.
Both San Miguel and San Antón had become carcasses, yawing industrial hangars with spiderwebs instead of shoppers.
Enter the municipality of Madrid, which saw in these sprawling emptinesses some great possibilities. They set to work.
Mercado de San Miguel
San Miguel wasn't always a covered market. In medieval times it was a large open square, flanked by stalls with fresh produce, especially fish. Eventually a church was built on the little square and then destroyed by fire, rebuilt and finally razed in the 19th century to open up the heart of Madrid. It became an open-air market again and by the mid-1800s hosted some 200 merchants.
Hygiene was poor, traffic increased and the city fathers began thinking of covering it with a permanent overhead structure. Initially only a facade was built to 'hide' the market from the street but by the early 20th century covered markets were all the rage. This particular one was inaugurated in 1916 and after decades of use was remodeled and refurbished in 1999 – just in time for it to fall into disuse and abandon.
Taking Barcelona's Boquería market as a model, a group of historians and food lovers took over San Miguel and decided to save it from certain destruction. The result: a gastronomic superstore where eating on the spot is far more important than buying to take home.
As I stood munching jamón de bellota – acorn-fed ham – this morning (it's just to the right of the main entrance) a commandeering woman waved a Brazilian flag above her head, calling her flock to her.
"We're now on the tourist circuit," said Veronica, slicing slivers of the famous ham straight from the leg. "This has revived the area." I'm not sure about that – the area in question is Old Madrid and its enormous central square, the Plaza Mayor, is just across the street and hugely popular.
But I get her point. Without the investment tourists wouldn't have come and without tourists, the market would have died a quiet death. "They don't just look," said Veronica, "they actually buy."
A quick glance at the lunchtime – anytime actually – crowds will tell you the wager has paid off. I don't know if the original investors have recouped their money but the market is full to breaking, and I wouldn't visit Madrid without stopping here for some jamón. Or some pimientos de Padrón. Or some navajas.
Neither should you.
Mercado de San Antón
As I prepared this most recent visit to Madrid, I happened to read an article about San Antón market, one which called it "the new San Miguel, the market San Miguel would like to be."
Like waving the proverbial cape at a toro, these are fighting words, a gauntlet thrown down daring me to get me off my feet and take up the challenge.
I arrived in Madrid on a Sunday afternoon, so the grocery stalls weren't open but helpfully housed behind light grills and easy to see. A fishmonger, a butcher, a dairy, all delicacies behind bars, the chorizo and hams and Manchego cheese tauntingly beyond my reach.
On the second floor my world began to rock as I wandered among the various 'food stalls' – or tapas stalls or stand-up restaurants or call them what you may. While San Miguel specializes in more Spanish fare (which doesn't stop it from showing off pizza and a few other non-Spanish foods) San Antón is a little more out there, its clutch of international fusion-food and foreign stands appealing in a different way.
The Spanish have belatedly uncovered their love of foreign foods so a sushi market rubs elbows with a trattoria and a seafood bar, a bit like a food court that has something for everyone. A Greek display looks tempting, but I come to a screeching halt at Foie, where unusual liver mixtures are Spanified – croquetas with mushrooms and foie gras, for example.
The architecture is far more modern, having been built recently after the old building was torn down. It suffered a similar fate to its cousin San Miguel across town. When San Antón's habituals drifted away to supermarkets and malls, the market had to fend for itself and began its downward slide. By 2007 the association of San Antón's merchants weighed in, aware they would have to do or die.
Like San Miguel, this market has now found its niche. It lies in the heart of Madrid's trendy gay neighborhood and its mixed nature – restaurants, stalls and groceries – is perfect for the location.
We may decry the disappearance of traditional marketplaces, with their crunchy fruit and bumpy vegetables but far from autodestruction, these two Madrid markets have simply traded in last year's complacency and decline for this year's stylishness.
So which of the two is the best food market in Madrid? Given a choice I'm partial to San Miguel, by nature preferring the older to the new. But if you like soaring spaces, fusion food and modern decor with rooftop bars, head to San Antón.
Either way, if you're a foodie visiting Madrid, both are a must.
Things every Woman on the Road should know
- Both markets are easily accessible by public transportation. To get to San Miguel, take the Metro to Sol. Walk down the Calle Mayor for a few blocks and it will be on your left. If you're hit by a yearning for chocolate, halfway down the Calle Mayor on your right is the fabulously famous San Ginés, which serves one of the best chocolate con churros in Madrid.
- Getting to San Antón is equally easy. Take the Metro to Chueca, then ask – it's only a couple of blocks away.
- You'll find more information in English on the Mercado San Miguel's website. San Anton, unfortunately, only has a Spanish site.
- You can easily eat until midnight at both but check if it's Sunday – schedules are different.
5 Comments
I'm not a women but just started following your blog. Like the fact that markets are coming back into Madrid think it was starting to lose a lot because it is just a growing & merging city. When I'm back in Madrid, definitely will have to check them out.
I love your blog, Leyla! I love jamón de bellota and can't wait to eat loads of it in España someday.
I love your article, the jamon is so delicous!
We discovered the market "The Mercado de la Cebada" also known as Mercado de la Latina directly at the subway station La Latina.

Model Dree Hemingway is to front the latest advertising campaign from Salvatore Ferragamo for its new perfume Attimo. Joining Ferragamo's roster of big name models, which includes Claudia Schiffer (currently starring in the label's clothing ads for spring/summer 2010), relative newcomer Hemingway will be shot by photographer Craig McDean for the new Attimo women's fragrance. While Hemingway's great-grandfather, novelist Ernest Hemingway, may have been known for his understated style of writing, the career of the self-confessed "queen of layering" looks to be a lot less unassuming for the 23-year-old. She has previously scored herself ad campaigns with DKNY, Abercrombie & Fitch and more recently Gianfranco Ferré, and is set to feature in the up-coming films *The Truth About Angels *and Privileged.
