The news that Raspberry Pi 2.0 will run a free-to-education version of Windows 10 has set Ed Tech social media channels ablaze. And justifiably so – this is undoubtedly a major milestone in the transition from education technology for productivity training to using technology as a platform for learning to be inventive, creative and entrepreneurial.
Raspberry Pi had the same effect on the education market, albeit at much lower volume, that OLPC XO had – it opened a new category of low-cost devices for learning. The flood of competitors to Raspberry Pi was inevitable, and now the latest version – 2.0 – goes on sale.
Processor performance and memory get a boost, and its great that they've retained backwards compatibility with older versions.
But the feature that has caught the attention of many is that it will be able to run a version of Windows 10.
The big question – which I'm certain will be hotly debated in the coming months is "why". On the one hand, one could argue that simplifying the interface will open it up to a wider audience – one that is intimidated by 'rustic' feel of Raspbian, and command-line-prompts. On the other hand, one could argue that this new category requires an altogether different type of operating system, custom built for Internet of Things. Wired Magazine, amongst others, comment that Microsoft (like Google etc) want to win the IoT space and has at last recognised that the grassroots efforts of hobbyists are where the products of the future will come from.
However, the reality is that the vast majority of IoT implementations in schools – with Raspberry Pi and its competitors products – are not really IoT at all. They tend to be M2M projects – where a machine talks to another machine, for example a sensor tells a remote Arduino device to trigger a relay that opens a valve and waters a plant at the optimal time. M2M only becomes IoT when multiple M2M systems are strung together with a services layer above it, as Atmel describe in this example from Healthcare –
So, Microsoft's most significant play in this space is likely to be another type of Windows – Windows in the cloud, or Azure. This could potentially provide the services umbrella that brings together M2M scenarios for learning and the operations of schools.
There's another 'but' though – and its a big one. Many teachers are still finding it hard to implement basic productivity technologies, so how are we going to reach a wider audience with products like the Raspberry Pi? Will it make any difference to the vast majority of teachers that a Raspberry Pi can now run Windows, when so few teachers are confident with neatly packaged technology? How can the learning curves be shortened for teachers – and industry specialists – so that students can realise their inventive potential? What will it take to build a groundswell of teachers that really understand not only the importance of technology in the modern world, but are inspired to play an entirely new game.
The march towards invention based learning is gathering significant pace, and regardless of the device's reception with a wider audience, Raspberry Pi running Windows is a significant milestone and something to be celebrated.

Collecting antique books could be a hobby or which can be rewarding too. These old and antique books, when cared for correctly more than the years, will remain in best condition possible, although poorly cared for books might outcome in loose or missing cover and pages. Even books which are uncommon but in poor situation could be maintained to help keep from becoming additionally damaged.
Beneath are some common practice in conserving and preserving your antique books. Prior to handling old books, usually make certain you wash your hands or use a cotton gloves. If the natural oils from the hands get in touch with older books can leave a mark on the book you would like to preserve. Do not eat or drink something when reading or caring for the older books. Food and liquid stains are permanent as soon as they are available in get in touch with using the book.
Have a look at your antique books to determine if you see any paper clippings or bookmarks stuck inside. Eliminate these and any other objects that ought to not be there, like old rubber bands, which can disintegrate and leaves stains on other surfaces more than time, and paper clips, which can do exactly the same quantity of harm.
Books with loose covers could be held together with archival cotton tape that's acid totally free. This cotton tape is generally obtainable via unique archival item stores. Whenever you tie the cover together, make certain the tape is flat against the cover and binding, and make the knot in the correct edge to ensure that it lays against the outside of the pages.
For books with covers which have come totally loose from the bindings, an alkaline paper could be used to wrap the book in. You will find also unique cardboard boxes for books with damaged covers or loose pages inside. These are much better for the books than normal cardboard which can give off acids more than time and attract insects that like paper, like silverfish.
Your antique books could be place on display inside your bookcase, so lengthy as they're not exposed to direct sunlight. Maintain them together on one shelf upright and not laying on their sides, together with your newer books on the other shelves. Maintain the room's climate that's slightly beneath room temperature, like 70 degrees. The room exactly where you retailer your collectible books in ought to also be lower than 60% in humidity to stop molds and mildew from occurring in your books. So whenever you determine to sell your antique books online, you'll get the best price for them.

It's been a while lovelies but I'm back. After my last post, where I spoke about being unwell, life gave me another blow as I found that I had lost my job. After being someone who has had a job since I was 16, it was a real knock to my confidence to be starting again. I'm now on the up and beginning to feel much better about things. As people keep telling me 'everything happens for a reason' and I have to hold on to that and know bigger and better things will be on the horizon!
Because of this my spending has had to be really controlled lately but after getting an email from Voucher Codes for 40% off and free delivery at Body Shop I thought I could afford a little treat 🙂 The 40% seems to have finished now but if you check Voucher Codes they have a 30% off here.
As a teen I used to LOVE body shop but I found that when I got to Uni and discovered Lush I lost my love for it. After a trip to Leeds with Sophie from SophieNicsBits, who loves a bit of a Body Shop, I thought I'd give it a go again. On our trip I picked up the Hemp hand cream and hand wash (buy one get one half price) after Sophie raved about how it is her hand saviour – see her post on it here.
When I got the voucher through I thought it was a great opportunity to try more products so I headed online to see what I fancied.
I went for an old favourite, the Seaweed Mattifying Day Cream. I tried it a few years ago but stopped using it as sometimes it made my skin feel a bit tingly and sensitive but it does give a really good finish to the skin and matt base for make up. My skin has calmed a lot recently after a new skincare routine so thought o would give it a go again.
I also decided I needed some eye cream as my eye area can get quite dry and flaky on the lids, with dark circles underneath. As I am a big Lush fan, I was interested to try the Nutriganics line as it boasts 98% natural ingredients. After trying out I am not too sure on the smell but it seems to soak in to the skin well. We will see if it makes much of a difference to my eye area!
I also wanted to try some of the hair care products. I suffer from a really dry, flaky, itchy scalp and use Head and Shoulders but I don't find it gets rid of my flakes. When I saw that Body Shop have a Ginger Shampoo for a dry, flaky scalp I was really excited to pick it up and see if it makes a difference. It also smells amazing and reminds me of my favourite ginger beer!
I also went for the Banana Conditioner, as after reading a few reviews it seemed that it would be very moisturising and smell great. When it arrived it looked quite different to the picture with a bright yellow colour and a very sickly sweet smell. Hopefully it will work well on the hair.
What are your Body Shop faves? Do they have one product you couldn't live without? As always let me know below.

Long experience has taught me that the crux of my fortunes is whether I can radiate good will toward my audience. There is only one way to do it and that is to feel it. You can fool the eyes and minds of an audience, but you cannot fool their hearts.
–Howard Thurston–
I've talked a little about how some professional magicians dump on amateurs and otherwise seem to think their title earns them king shit status online. What I'd like to do this time around is examine why someone might behave in such a fashion and what it really signifies.
First I want to make it clear that the majority of professional magicians I've known have been the friendliest people in the world. It's pretty clear that they feel blessed to be in a position to do what they love and actually get paid for it – even when times are tough, which they can sometimes be. They aren't worried about going to a magic forum or doing a blog and impressing everyone with their professional status; they don't care about impressing other magicians. They care about impressing their audiences with their magic.
I think some people become performers for all the wrong reasons. While it's probably true that most magicians crave recognition and acceptance, some few are absolutely consumed by such desires. They're attempting to compensate for shortcomings in themselves, real or imagined, and are using magic to show the world that they're worthy of love and adoration. Again, I think most of us want to be recognized and accepted. But those desires are but a component of the larger whole of sharing the art we love. Some few don't really care anything about magic; they perform because it affords them a means to prove their worth.
The real problem is performing isn't a substitute for therapy. It might even aggravate the problem. If you're unable to connect with others in a meaningful way and get the love you're missing, standing before them and doing tricks isn't going to change that. They might laugh and applaud, but if you can't connect the experience will ultimately feel hollow and superficial. Consequently resentment forms. You want to be a part of something and you've tried so hard but nothing has changed. Resentment ferments into anger. And hate.
What I've noticed about the people who come online and flaunt their professional title is that they're almost invariably low level performers who've had limited success. This makes perfect sense to me, as you're never going to succeed as a magician unless you can connect with people, unless you genuinely like people and they like you. You've tried and failed to show the world at large that you're worthy of love and you've failed. The solution then is to show your fellow magicians what an expert you are.
I'll admit that this is a lot of conjecture on my part founded on nothing more than personal observation. However, I sincerely believe I'm on the right track. It might very well be that those loud mouth know it alls who drive some of us crazy are crying out for help in the only way they know how. All I can say is that you'll never get the kind of help you need online, and even when you succeed in proclaiming your status loudly enough that some of your ilk actually listen to your drivel it's ultimately going to lead to another let down. I wish there were some easy answers, but there aren't. A very good start can be made when you stop trying to belittle and demean and offer kindness instead. Just a thought. See you next time.

Vintage Up cycled Beach Bag Free Pattern
By AnnooCrochet Designs
This is a new version of My up cycled Beach Bag.
I am such a poor sewer, and I had to find a way to create a beach Bag with lining, and no need for sewing !!! Mission Completed!
This adorable Bag only takes a simple Canvas Tote and simple crochet technique to achieve.
I will use different color Yarn for this Tutorial, but in fact I am sticking to one color per bag.
You will Need
A Canvas Tote 15 by 15 inches
A Sharp Crochet or a whole puncher
Crochet hook 3.25mm
Measuring tape
Tapestry needle
Cotton Yarn of your choice I used Martha Stewart Hemp in Red, white or Blue
Stitches used:
ch: chain
sc: single crochet
dc: double crochet
at the top of your tote measure a cm all along and mark with a pen
begin by sl st with your sharp crochet in the first dot on your right side,
sc all along trying not to crochet too tightly, or it will create an uneven border, sc all along both sides of your tote.
You will have 78 stitches.
Round 1: [sc, sk 3 st, ch4,] repeat all around
Round 2: ch4, [sc in round 1 ch4, ch4, ] repeat all around
it will look like so as you crochet
Eventually you will fold it down this way
continue working in the round until you have about 28 rounds, enough to reach the bottom of your Tote.
For the last Round, ch5 and sc in both sides loops together
Finish by ch3 and sc at the edge of your work
Sew in all lose tails
You could leave, your handles as it is, but I like to crochet around it, to make it a little more durable, and to give your Beach bag a more finished look
sl st through the front right vase of your handle, sc in same space and in next space
You will sc Crochet around the Handle,
Voila, repeat for the other handle, and you are done!!!
Time for a Beach Day!!!
Happy Crochet!!!!
Please mention me, the source if you find yourself in a sharing mood ;-)))
Happy Crochet my fellow artists!!!!

One in five patients 'harmed' in some hospitals
One in five patients in some NHS hospitals suffer harm due to avoidable accidents, complications and mistakes, it has emerged.
The data has been assembled via a monthly series of snapshots, gathered by frontline clinical staff since April
By Rebecca Smith, Medical Editor
6:00AM BST 31 Aug 2012
Official NHS data has shown that more than 20 per cent of patients in some organisations suffer from problems such as bed sores or suffer accidents such as falls while on wards.
Nationally just under one in ten, or around 41,000 people, were harmed, but this masks wide variation in individual hospitals, it was found.
The Department of Health has set a target to deliver "harm-free care" to 95 per cent of patients "by 2012".
Officials admitted around 200,000 patients suffer common avoidable problems over the course of a year.
The NHS Safety Thermometer, launched in April, gathers data from all NHS hospitals covering patient problems such as bed sores and patient falls that can be avoided with good care.
Carers urged to look for support
Carers need a break as well otherwise they end up making themselves ill and becoming the one who needs caring for
By Ian Dipple 31/08 Updated: 31/08 09:45
THE MAYOR of Redditch has urged the borough's carers to seek help.
Coun Alan Mason said it was important people looking after loved ones were not too proud to look for and accept the wealth of support on offer, especially so-called 'hidden carers' who consider themselves to only be doing their duty.
Mr Mason looks after his wife Nina, who has difficulty walking, but he admitted until recently he was one of those who had never considered himself to be a carer.
Doubts raised over safety of 'doctor by broadband'
Patients could be put at risk by using internet-based equipment to manage their conditions from home, the lead investigator of a nationwide trial into the technology has warned.
Ministers are keen to push 'telehealth' – where people with chronic conditions help manage their own conditions from home – but there are questions over safety.

Ministers are keen to push the benefits of telehealth, in which people with long term conditions like diabetes and heart disease submit readings to doctors and nurses online.

This is the sixth part of my travel blog about Chile. If you want to start with the first entry, you can click here. If you are interested in the last entry, you will find it here.
Today, I want to make good on my promise and show you some more pictures from the wine festival in Chillán. I'd like to start with how I ended yesterday's entry, the Chinchineros. On Saturday, I managed to take a video of them during day time. Enjoy =)
Moreover, I want to give you an overview of the different dishes that were available. This list is definitely not exhaustive but shows a nice variety. The first image is the stand where my friend and I got huge amounts of caramelized almonds. On a Berlin Christmas market, those would be three to four times more expensive than here.
The next images depict some dishes we didn't try. The first one is a clam dish, the second one is paella, and the third image is beef and chicken on a stick.
Next, I want to give you some impressions from the wine stands.
You can buy a glass at one of the stands for 2000 Chilean Pesos (2,70€). With that glass, you are allowed to try every wine you want. Some pour in quite a lot, so even if you don't buy any wine, you could get drunk. And you could get drunk quickly^^. I am glad there was enough food available to have a strong basis. I only tried dry red wines, as I was looking for a wine for my dad, but they have all kinds of red and white wines. If I manage to come back here, I will spend one day trying all the red ones, and one day all the white ones.
If you happen to be in Chile next year in April, think about stopping by Chillán for a wonderful experience. And bring your friends and family. You won't regret it =) !
Have a wonderful day and take care!

Target on Tuesday said transgender people are more than welcome to use whatever bathroom or fitting room they gender associate with.
The boycott pledge was started by the conservative hate group known as the American Family Association (AFA).
"Target's policy is exactly how sexual predators get access to their victims," AFA President Tim Wildmon said in an open letter. "This means a man can simply say he 'feels like a woman today' and enter the women's restroom…even if young girls or women are already in there."
He then urged his bigoted supporters to sign the pledge because Target's policy "poses a danger to wives and daughters."
He also urged his followers to post messages against the company's stance on its Facebook page.
While there have been many negative messages posted on the company's Facebook page, there have also been many messages of support from transgender and non-transgender customers. Many who have promised to support the company even more than they have in the past.
Target clarified its position on transgender bathrooms with the following statement.
"We welcome transgender team members and guests to use the restroom or fitting room facility that corresponds with their gender identity," the retailer said in the statement. "Everyone deserves to feel like they belong. And you'll always be accepted, respected and welcomed at Target."
Target's statement even arrived with a redesigned logo that features a rainbow.
The transgender bathroom issue has extended well beyond Target.
Analysts estimate that the North Carolina bill could cost the state more than $500 million annually as many companies continue to cancel their plans for expansion in the state.

THE restaurant in Los Angeles at the moment is Osteria Mozza. We went shortly after it opened and then again this May. I think we ordered much, much better the second time – more variety and the execution was spot on.
David Rosoff, who we have known for over 16 years, is the GM. He couldn't have been nicer or more cordial. He is the consummate professional.
Amuse – on a small crostini, fresh ricotta with olive tapenade, basil chiffonade with a drizzle of olive oil – simple, nice
First Course – Grilled octopus with cubes of cooked potatoes (they were cold, however), celery slices, mizuna dressed with lemon oil. The octopus was absolutely perfect. It had been marinated in olive oil with wine corks for hours and then quickly grilled.
Second Course – Crispy Pig's trotters with Ciccoria (a type of Italian dandelion grown and used as for Lettuce and in Mesclun mixes) and mustard. This should not be pig's trotters in the plural as there was one pig's trotter that was actually a small croquette. Most of the dish consisted of "salad" stuff.
Third Course – Burrata from Basilicata with sautéed leeks and grilled country bread drizzled with garlic and olive oil – The burrata was excellent, but a large portion for 2 people and after a few bites, I had enough.
Fourth course- Bufala mozzarella with small dishes of Romesco sauce, Tapenade, Basil Pesto and a Caperberry Relish sauce. Only the later sauce was truly outstanding.
Fifth Course – Burricotti with Braised Artichokes, Pine Nuts, Currants and Mint Pesto – the artichokes were excellent.
Sixth Course – Tripe alla Parmigiana with cecci – John forgot to take a picture of this – good.
Seventh Course – Fresh Ricotta and Egg Ravioli with browned butter – I was really looking forward to this dish as it had been described by many as wonderful with a wonderful runny yolk when you cut into the ravioli – our yolk was more well done than runny yolk – a big disappointment.
Second time at Osteria Mozza
We decided to try Mozza again and we were to be at a play by 8 pm nearby so this meant an early dinner.
Traffic has become unbearable in Los Angeles and we allowed 1 ½ hours to go 14 miles – ridiculous. In any case, we made it in 1 hour and 10 minutes so we decided to have a drink and an appetizer at Pizzeria Mozza while waiting for Osteria to open.
Even at 5:10, the pizzeria was packed.
Bruschette with Chicken livers, capers, parsley & guanciale – interesting texture as the liver is roughly chopped. What sets this apart is the guanciale. Great.
At Osteria
Grilled Octopus with potatoes, celery and lemon – much better than last time – the octopus was still excellent, but this time the potatoes were warm. Delicious.
Burrata with bacon, marinated escarole and carmelized shallots – very good
Fresh Ricotta and Egg Raviolo with browned butter – 100 times better than last time – perfectly cooked – comfort food and delicious.
Garganelli with ragu Bolognese – a one for two portion size – a split portion – John inhaled this dish
Excellent service, delicious food and David Rosoff is a gem.

How would you rate episode 302?
NickSnow replied to Ran's topic in E02: Dark Wings, Dark WordsI gave it a 7/10. I don't know why I didn't like it as much as a lot of you guys did. I thought it was a bit slow, and it didn't feel as coherant as the previous episode. There were some good moments thought: Brienne and Jaime; Arya and the Brotherhood; Margaery, Sansa, and Olenna; and yes...I actually liked the Reeds. But there was one moment that i hated. CATELYN'S SCENE. Its not the actresses fault (I love the actress), but the writers decided to completely ruin her character. AACCK. God. I feel like Im not going ot care during the red wedding, because they are making Robb and Catelyn totally despicable and stupid. They nedd to develop both of them WAY MORE
How would you rate episode 301?
NickSnow replied to Ran's topic in E01: Valar DohaerisRating: 8 out of 10 A very solid first episode I think. There didn't think that there was anything particularly cringe-worthy. GOOD: -Davos. Very good stuff. His conversation with Sallador Saan is very good as well as his interactions with Stannis and Melisandre -Daenerys. Dany had a VERY BAD season last year, but everything seems to be improving. The Unsullied are great as well as Kranzys and Missandei. AND A VERY GOOD ENDING with Barristan!! -King's Landing. Everything in King's Landing was very good as well. I particularly liked the scenes with Margaery, Lancel, Joffrey, and Cersei. The dynamic between the Lannisters and the Tyrells is very well done. Also, Tyrion's conversation with Tywin was very good indeed. BAD: -Jon Snow and Mance Rayder. Meh. I wasn't too impressed with the Wildlings. Mance Rayder did not have the necessary charisma to make me convinced that he had become the leader of all these Wildlings. And Tormund Giantsbane was underwhelming as well. -Catelyn and Robb. There wasn't a lot of Robb and Cat in this episode, and whatever is there is fairly underwhelming as well. They arrive in Harrenhal (?) and meet Qyburn (?). Huh? UGLY: -Again, I didn't flip any tables in this epsidode. I thought it was very good.

NickSnow replied to Hmadkour's topic in The Winds of WinterPraise the gods for Hmadkour!!! We now know the answer to one loose end. YAY, only 70401 answers left to go. WOOHOO! (WOW, I hope your'e able to answer some of these questions, not create more of them)
How would you rate episode 210?
NickSnow replied to Ran's topic in E10: Valar Morghulisugghgh... This was most certainly my worst favourite episode of this season. So many dumb changes that made absolutely no sense at all. 1. Ros is going to be a spy for Varys. WHAT!? 2. Robb is married under oath of the Seven. WHAT!? 3. Dagmar Clefreek. Who even burned Winterfell? Him or the horn blowers? WHAT!? 4. No prophecies in the HotU. WHAT!? 5. Doreah sleeping with Xaro. WHAT!? eeek. So many problems... I really only liked three scenes in this episode. 1. Stannis and Melisandre. Really creepy and awesome. 2. Theon and Maester Luwyin. Awesome acting. 3. Attack on the Fist of the First Men. 4/10 rating from me. Super dissapointed
WOW!!! That was absolutely fantastic. I had no issues with this episode at all. It was perfect. I think that GRRM just redeemed this season for me.

How would you rate episode 205?
NickSnow replied to Ran's topic in E05: The Ghost of HarrenhalAlright, I've gotten used to the fact that this is an ADAPTATION of the books, and changes have to be made. As a reader of the books, I am trying to not be nitpicky when it comes to the changes. When looking at the show from that kind of point of view, I definitely thought that this episode was the best episode of the season so far. It was just one awesome scene after the other. 10/10

Chances are, the recipes you'll find in this blog were inspired by Chez Panisse (besides Alice Waters' library, Chez Panisse Cooking by Paul Bertolli is one of my favorites), Jacques Pepin, or an article from Saveur.
Many years ago, my cousin Julie, collected family recipes and stories and shared them with her cousins, aunts and uncles in a book she published called Delicious Memories. I'm grateful for Julie's work, and look forward to sharing some of the classic Northern Italian cooking with readers of this blog. Thank you, Julie, for preserving this history and these cooking traditions.
Cooking from the garden is seasonal, so recipes are tagged by the time of year.

Ernesto Artillo
This is recording because you told me to start already.. What have you done with this video?
Very well, you are right. Well, I've done what I've been achieving little by little and that really motivates me, and is to find myself developing personal projects in the midst of commercial contracts. This starts from this thing I have with people telling me that I'm an artist, when I don't feel like one while working on commercial projects, and suddenly I find myself expanding this concept throughout commercial campaigns for different clients. What was the concept? The concept I have unfolded in this video comes closer to what I wanted to dig into, which is what happens to me with objects. What does happen to me with objects? Well, it so happens that I live in a flat that looks as if I moved into it yesterday, although I have lived there for two years. The only things in that flat have been either created by me or have been given to me by someone. For example by my grandma, the important things here are hers.
You have an object at home which is a strange chimney with fire.
Oh yes, it is a very powerful object. (He laughs) It's one of the latest best objects I've been presented with. To start off it's a present from my family for the Three Kings, see how strong my family is that, aware as they are of my personal conflict with objects, they give it so much though that they end up picking some random, farfetched object . So in the end it's a kind of designer's object, neither furniture nor decorative, due to its high sentimental value. Bear in mind that my father, in order to give it to me, wrote a poem which was attached to the chimney. It's a piece of glass with methacrylate that blows fire and warms the soul. And my guests.
And that object you have built from many other objects, what does it speak of?
Let me explain myself because it wasn't possible to me earlier. What interested me the most with so many objects was to explain why I judge people by the objects that they accumulate, store, acquire. And why I personally am unable to accumulate objects that haven been given to me, or that I have created and why it is so hard for me to do so. And it is because I personally distrust the object directly, I don't trust objects to have an independent emotional value. I, for example, see a beautiful vase from Murano, which I adore, but am incapable of purchasing it, because I don't know how much of me likes it and how much AD. So actually allowing it into my house is very hard for me, I strive to believe in objects.
And what happens when you fall in love? How much of it is it you and how much is Disney, Warner and HBO's responsibility?
Well, not initially. To be able to understand love I have to part with religion, and I am still in process, because I didn't understand how God could love me but wouldn't want me to be a homosexual. That was a disaster. And that went on with lots of other things, such as religion, lifelong marriage and also Walt Disney. Now I want to go and see the Beauty and the Beast because I actually enjoy it, as well as I went to see La La Land and it was good, although it speaks of romantic love. And with love, well.. I actually really fancy falling in love, but it is not a necessary thing to me as it would have been before. I find it something unnecessary. If I get to have a romance that happens to last for two months, well that's great, and may it last longer if possible. But If I don't find it I am happy nonetheless, actually the problem is that I am growing to like this, so finally I will end up alone and without any objects (he laughs). But with lots of friends.
And how would this movie be called?
This movie is called "Mira tú por dónde". (He laughs) This interview is a total disaster, Dani. I hope you will be able to get something sensible out of it.
I don't think that is likely to happen.. From which point of you have you unfolded this work?
Well, it has been a project that started with lots of illusion and hopes to dedicate a lot of time to it but my commercial work also takes a lot of my time, I tend to get carried away with all those projects and in the end it has been a pleasure more about resolving. A resolving between what I want and what the audience may want to see. So the result is something I want to tell about but quite pleasing to the eyes. The objects tend to also be quite pleasing a lot of times. But I go out on a limb, I really do.
And what does all that hanging there say?
The installation?
The old banger
Well look, the contraption is actually a collage. The same way I take people's face off the pictures and I replace them with paintings or cuttings in my collages… like I've been wanting to show what's inside people's heads, I imagined someone accumulating a lot of objects that meant something to her. So in the end it is no more than a portrait of someone with all of his or her meaningful objects. There's a squeezer, a horse's head, a book, a jacket, even a sofa… A melting pot, I know you like that word. It is the portrait of that person showing how fragile it clearly is because of everything being in equilibrium. In fact, the video shows the rocking of several objects moving and how they could fall. But it doesn't matter.
Taking into account that your artistic side may be the most honest side of Ernesto, what ethics are behind that discourse?
I think I speak about esthetics and the part of it which is irreparable… I tend to fight with myself about my looks, I am highly conditioned by fashion and, even though I really like this world, I do not agree with a lot of the meaning it carries. The same way as I am interested in religion but I do not agree with the religious tone. I believe in using esthetics that are very powerful and making them mine to see what they really mean to me. For example, to make a religious image but for it to seem totally… gnostic?
basically what it is, is to try to become each time more honest with myself, to learn.. I don't know if the moment will arrive when I have finally learnt and I can make works of art but, for the time being, to learn and to become less afraid of revealing myself even if that implies judging myself less.
What element do fashion and religion share?
Well, they create a character that doesn't exist, an imaginary in which people believe but cannot see. People cannot actually see the brand Dolce&Gabbana but they believe in it. They want to follow it and be like it. Well, religion is the same, it is very evoking.. now this is a subject in which I am currently very focused, because my work is also very evocative. I will read a piece to you.
Please let it be brief.
Look, screw you.. I am going to read this text to you, which I still haven't published but is nice and intense and I wanted it to appear with a voice in OFF in the video, but finally I decided I am more honest writing than with images, where I tend to be more spaced out. So the text has overgrown the video, it talks about what I told you before, about identity and my own self, and they things I am afraid of and can make me lose myself. Well, I'm going to tell you this now. It says, hello, almost all the text I write begin with hello, that I actually don't know who I'm greeting, maybe myself.. or you in this case.
It would be worse if you started with goodbye.
Hello, I hope you get a slap, a painful one, no pain is evocation and that is far from truth. An object is the object of fiction without scene, the script of routines, gathering without beer, and ideas, objects that point at the edge of our finger towards the phone, fat from not moving, being useless not blind. An object is like an object dwelling in random rooms like a dog by a gas station, without focus nor story, they don't smell nor remember. An object contains in it love, and rage, envy and pride. Pride as though the event required it. A Stand that goes against the emotion and deforms us accompanying another object that melts in deserts known to Dali, and our dumb faces is what we will see when we look back to the trail we didn't walk. This is where the first part could end, but there's a very short second part that says: Take your broken heart and transform it into art, like the lady who died recently said. Get drunk badly, make yourself a feminist top, get a tattoo with the name of a random guy, turn it off or take a thousand selfies. Eat well, sweat. Eat badly, dance. But fall in love with an object,man. If not, i hope you get a slap, and i hope it hurts because life with no pain is evocation and that is far from truth.
What three objects would you say define your father?
A collage that could be an object, my mother can also be an object an my father too, I guess. His glasses.
You have a rather wide conception of an object, including your mother as an object…
Of course, because the object as I've understood in this video and how I understand it in general, is all that can be matter of knowledge or sensitivity for the subject, even itself. That's why people also appear in the video, Cristina Ramos and myself, and we are both going round and round, because that is what you do with ideas. To be able to understand them. That's why the camera goes around the object, as the contemplation goes on.
What don't you ever get tired of contemplating?
I believe (he laughs) I never get tired of contemplating myself. (he laughs) It is true, but not in a way of looking into the mirror or so, if people are not going to understand me I will stop talking! (he laughs)
Don't blame the people who still haven't even read anything.
It's not that I look into the mirror a lot, there are times the I look more and time when I look less. I don't stop contemplating how I learn, how I am doing…
And when you look, what do you see?
When I look, I like myself. Actually now I have been going to the gym.
A lot
A lot. It has been six months and I have a personal trainer. The more I look at myself lately when I am naked, the more I like myself. That's why I am on that video without a top on, because I could appear like that perfectly.
And how did this male interviewer who we like so much, Jesus Quintero, ask Maribel Verdú if she touched herself?
I touch myself. Lately not much but I do, yes.
When did you finish doing the video?
And when did it need to be ready for?
For about a week ago. They are very flexible and they are very patient with Dream Magazine. I would spend at least another month more finishing it. But it's great that they demand from me and they speak harshly to me if required because people would end up tired of me otherwise.
Do you think there is a lot of people waiting for Ernesto Artillo's video to come out?
I think there might be some people because the other day I posted a picture of me without a top and the gym is actually starting to show.. Nah, no more kidding, I am very happy with my internet followers and I think they really like my work.
I was going to ask you that, you seem to have more and more activity in these social networks and something we have talked about before, that brings you back to yourself. And I see you more and more open to show yourself, to…
To sexualize
Well yes, to be touched.
To be touched? I wish, more. The fact is that afterwards I don't let myself be touched much. Because in the end people are objects and I cannot put myself to trust them, to believe them. Objects of study. And for what I study I don't achieve much.
Ok then, up to there. It has been very beautiful.
Yes, you do it very well. If you get this right you can make me look like a jerk, and if you do it very well you might make me look right. It is in your hands.
I think I am going to respect what happened here. It is the best we can give to whoever reads this. Readers find treasures along the way.
Great Dani, very well.

The weather was somewhat less than desirable last night, and the poor Ospreys had a rough time keeping their chicks out of the wind and rain. Of course, they were all absolutely fine this morning. The wind did have one benefit – it got rid of that very annoying stick that was in the way! Unfortunately, another stick replaced it later…
However, that too has now been laid aside. This morning, at about 8 o'clock, the scene on the nest was one of perfect normality. All three chicks were sitting in a row in front of Maya, who was feeding them all in turn from a huge trout.
This trout, and yesterday's, look suspiciously like they may have come from the River Gwash Trout Farm at Ryhall! It wouldn't surprise me to learn that 33 went there, as the wind has been making fishing from the reservoir rather difficult. Other Ospreys are also using Ryhall, here are some photos of 28(10) that Geoff Harries took at the end of May.
33 brought today's fish straight to the nest again, head intact. He came back for it later, and looked as though he was going to fly off with it, but in the end he left without it.
Because 33 didn't take the trout, Maya decided to give the chicks another feed from it. 33 watched her closely.
Later still, 33 came back for the trout again. This time he did take it away to the T-perch to eat his share. Before he did, though, it looked like he might have been thinking about feeding one of the chicks… as he stood with his foot on the trout, one chick turned towards him, and for just a second I thought that he was going to do it, but in the end he moved away.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if 33 fed the chicks one day. Males don't usually, but the instinct is there, and it has been known for a male to feed a chick when presented with a gape. 33 is very interested in the chicks, he likes to be on the nest with them and Maya, and he has watched her feed them several times. I don't think it will be long before he has a go at feeding them!
33 took the fish off and ate part of it on the T-perch.
He didn't eat all of it, though, and he brought it back again later. This large trout has kept all five Ospreys going almost all day, and 33 won't need to go fishing again until later on. He's doing an absolutely fabulous job of keeping his family fed. Even though he occasionally uses the trout farm, he tends to prefer to fish in the reservoir whenever possible. We have seen him out fishing on every Osprey cruise we have done so far this season! Yes there have only been two, but we know that he heads out to fish at that time in the evening, so we hope to see him on many more cruises in the future… Yet another one has sold out, but there are plenty more to book onto! Click here for more dates and details.
Tim Mackrill's evening walk tomorrow night has also sold out, but there is another one in July, so if you missed out this time, click here! There is also a Guided Summer Walk at the Lyndon Reserve on Wednesday 17th June, beginning at 09:30am. More details can be found here.

Welcome to Our Parents Corner
The Montessori School of South Riding community means students, teachers, parents and grandparents caring for one another. We all work together to ensure that our students can thrive academically, emotionally and spiritually. Parents entrust MSSR with their most sacred possession: their children. We take that responsibility seriously. We believe parent involvement is critical to a student's academic and personal success.
The MSSR-PTA mission is to build a strong sense of community and a high level of participation among parents. All MSSR parents, along with staff, and alumni, are considered to be members of the PTA. Parent volunteers run the association, and membership is free. The MSSR-PTA, as all independent school parent organizations, exists to further the school's mission through volunteer work, fundraising, and special events. Parent involvement offers the opportunity to meet other parents, become involved in the South Riding Community, and support The MSSR School.
During the school year, the PTA sponsors several events including: Back to School Picnic, Fall Photo Shoot, Holiday Parties, Puppet Shows, Book Fairs, Casino Night Auction, Breakfast for Dads, Mother's Day Tea, and Teacher Appreciation Week, just to name a few.
The generous contributions of our current parents, grandparents, parents of alumni, and friends allow us to continue to challenge our students to academic excellence, responsible leadership and community involvement. Your cooperation to this year's MSSR activities will enable us to:
Recruit and retain the finest teachers
Help with our scholarship fund
Help us continue our much needed support for our Center in Peru
The combined resources and talents of The Montessori School of South Riding parents are formidable. The PTA seeks to coordinate these resources and talents to provide a platform for interaction, cooperation, and socialization among the parents. All parents are invited to attend the meetings, volunteer their time toward the sponsored activities and events, and contribute their ideas and suggestions that serve to improve the organization and the various enrichment programs offered.

What is this SAG thing of which you speak? Simply, it is a support and gear (SAG) van and trailer used for multi-day biking. It makes your biking day much easier. The SAG wagon moves your luggage, your food and sometimes even you! This means a light bike and flexible biking distances.
Riders rendezvous with the SAG wagon at preset locations. This gives you the ability to customize the length of your biking day. The guide operating the SAG wagon can refill your water bottle, tune your bike or shuttle you over that hill.
The vehicle carries your luggage, purchases from along the way, snacks and lunch, a cooler with icy beverages, and repair parts and pieces for you and your bike. The SAG vehicle and it's driver are one of the key ingredients in making your biking vacation easy and hassle free. It schlepps your luggage from one lodging to the next, miraculously shows up when you are thinking, wow I could use an energy bar and some fresh water, and gives you a lift, when you decide that you have had your fill of biking for the day.
The key to an awesome SAG vehicle is the person operating it. They need to be somewhat of a foodie, handy with a wrench, and full of information.

Is it possible for a massive structure to be portable? I had a stimulating conversation with a good friend about a portable museum, although brief, I was still taken back by the possibility. At first I dismissed the idea as momentary madness from a mentor, but upon further investigation I realized that this is indeed possible and maybe advantageous. What do you all think? Would this work? Is it possible? What are the advantages? and the drawbacks?

The Possibilites of Tomorrow..a portable International Museum of Terran Arts
3 comments:
Do you know about the freedom ship?ReplyDelete
no..wow thank you joshReplyDelete
con--portable might not be the greenest option, if green remains a priority...unless it's pedaled or powered by wind or something along those lines.ReplyDelete
pro--it could also be looked at as an outreach service--a means of bringing art (and history) to those who do not have access to museums, sort of like the libraries have bookmobiles.

The problem has to do with the domain:
Domain details for whitestreetphotography.com from http://www.melbourneit.com
Registrar: MELBOURNE IT, LTD. D/B/A INTERNET NAMES WORLDWIDE

Name server: ns.rackspace.com 184.108.40.206
Name server: ns2.rackspace.com 126.96.36.199
The name servers automatically route traffic for EMAIL and WEB pages to the hosting service that the name servers are pointing to. In this case, they are pointing to RACKSPACE. If you want both WEB and EMAIL traffic to come to our servers, you will need to change the name servers for the domain. If the domain is managed by us, then you can change the name servers by simply going to the Account Management Panel (AMP), and selecting MANAGE DOMAIN. I'll give you a link to changing domains later in this message. Remember that changing any DNS settings requires up to 24 hours of propagation time before the change actually takes effect.
You are also able to specifically direct traffic, but it does require specific DNS changes. In layman's terms, you can direct WEB traffic AND/OR EMAIL traffic to wherever, but it depends on your settings. A records are used to direct web traffic. MX records can be changed to direct email traffic.
Let us know if you're trying to direct BOTH email and web traffic, or simply the email traffic to our servers. Since the name servers are NOT pointed to us, you would need to change them to our servers before we could make any changes (we can't make changes if they're not pointed to us). If you need to leave name servers pointing to Rackspace, then you will need to contact your other hosting provider for technical support on changing the DNS to point to our hosting for email service to operate from here.
Apologies, but I do understand this may sound a little confusing. If you need immediate assistance, you are welcome to contact live support and they can enact the changes over the phone.
Here's the link on Domain Name Servers that I promised for you:

To speak of the 1st Noble Truth, I use a quotation from the SN56.11: Dhammacakkappavattanasutta provided on this website.
At the time the Buddha announced this, it was revolutionary on multiple levels. Everyone knew of suffering and stress in some form or other, but what the Buddha was suggesting, combined with the 3 other Truths, was that suffering was on a whole different level to what they were used to thinking of, and the fact that the source of that suffering was under their own control, if only they knew it.
Now this, monks, is the noble truth of stress: Birth is stressful, aging is stressful, death is stressful; sorrow, lamentation, pain, distress, & despair are stressful; association with the unbeloved is stressful, separation from the loved is stressful, not getting what is wanted is stressful. In short, the five clinging-aggregates are stressful.
As I have stated in a previous article, the use of the word 'stress' is an approximation. The Pali word is Dukkha, and has many and varied interpretations. My favourite happens to be 'unsatisfactoriness' as it gives a far more wide-ranging indication of the nature of reality. Not everything in life is stress, not everything in life is suffering, but there is absolutely nothing in life that is completely satisfactory… if you spend enough time thinking about it.
This is the key to the first Noble Truth. You need to really think about whether your kitchen table is truly satisfactory, (eventually its design will become unsuitable, maybe even a leg will become loose and break off, or it will not fit in with you planned redesign of the kitchen). You need to really think about the latest iPad you have just bought. I'll bet you a pound to a penny that in 18 months time you'll be getting frustrated by it because it has become slow and cumbersome to use.
Look at your relationships. Are they truly satisfactory? I mean REALLY satisfactory? No they are not. Now I'll bet this may be where people start having trouble with this concept because I for one have the most finest, trustworthy and dependable partner any man could wish for; BUT, the relationship is unsatisfactory. How on earth can I say that having just stated what an amazing woman she is? Well, one day, however it happens, my relationship with Sharon will come to an end, and that is very unsatisfactory.
What I have written above is just a small attempt to indicate how far-ranging even the first Noble Truth is. It affects absolutely everything in our lives from the can opener to the atomic bomb, from your pet cat to the ivory poachers in Africa. Nothing, absolutely nothing is completely satisfactory, and all these elements have an impact on our mental well-being in some form or other. From minor frustration to full-blown mental breakdown.
The Five Clinging Aggregates mentioned in the quote above are a subject for another article but they can be approximated to the five senses. I say approximated because mental 'objects' or as is more usually stated, 'formations' come in to the mix and it is quite a complicated scenario, so I will no get in to it just yet. But fear not, a full explanation will be forthcoming.
I trust what I have written has given you a rough idea of what the First Noble Truth encompasses. The subject bears much thought and meditation before a true grasp of the subject can be made, and I recommend doing so before progressing further. The 1st Noble Truth is a biggy and is the start of your adventure into Buddhism as a whole.

Baja Racing News LIVE!
Ensenada, Baja Mexico
Gary Newsome Editor
Starting today, it appears the US military will be testing a device or devices that will potentially jam GPS signals for six hours each day. We say "appears" because officially the tests were announced by the FAA but are centered near the US Navy's largest installation in the Mojave Desert. And the Navy won't tell us much about what's going on.
|Baja Racing News LIVE ! Advisory on GPS interference testing on the West coast in June
The testing will be centered on China Lake, California—home to the Navy's 1.1 million acre Naval Air Weapons Center in the Mojave Desert. The potentially lost signals will stretch hundreds of miles in each direction and will affect various types of GPS, reaching the furthest at higher altitudes. But the jamming will only affect aircraft above 5,000 feet. As you can see from the FAA map below, the jamming will almost reach the California-Oregon border at 4o,000 feet above sea level and 505 nautical miles at its greatest range.
"We're aware of the flight advisory," Deidre Patin, Public Affairs specialist for Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division told me over the phone. But she couldn't give me any details about whether there was indeed GPS "jamming," nor whether it had happened before. Patin added, "I can't go into the details of the testing, it's general testing for our ranges."
As AVWeb points out, Embraer Phenom 300 business jets are being told to avoid the area completely during the tests. The FAA claims that the jamming test could interfere with the business jet's "aircraft flight stability controls."
GPS technology has become so ubiquitous that cheap jamming technology has become a real concern for both military and civilian aircraft. And if we had to speculate we'd say that these tests are probably pulling double duty for both offensive and defensive military capabilities. But honestly, that's just a guess.
These tests are naturally going to fuel plenty of conspiracy theories about mind control, weather modification, and aliens—especially with China Lake's proximity to both large population centers like LA and Las Vegas, and the fact that Area 51 is practically just down the road. But it doesn't take a conspiracy theorist to tell us we're being interfered if terrorists or flat-billers make it a habit of jamming GPS signals for everybody.

- 7PM Doors
- 8PM Helms Alee
- 9PM Earth
Earth was formed in Olympia, Wa. In 1989 by Dylan Carlson, with an ever evolving line up including Slim Moon (Kill Rock Stars founder), Joe Preston (Melvins) and many others. After moving to Seattle and signing to Sub Pop in 1990 they would release 3 full lengths and an EP including "Earth 2". Considered by many a definitive statement of the drone triumphant, others have described it as "the inevitable result of the damage done by downers to perception of time". Whichever the case, its influence is undeniable. If it wasnt for this album, bands like Sunn 0))) simply would not exist.
in 1996 they recorded their final Sub Pop lp "Pentastar (In The Style of Demons)" in an abandoned Colt 45 factory. After its release the "group" disbanded and Earth/Dylan Carlson go on hiatus. 6 years later Earth becomes active once more, with the addition of Adrienne Davies on drums. Unveiling it's new cleaner, sparser, and more improvisational style. in September 2005 Earth release their first studio album in 9 years, diversifying their sound and pushing all perceived boundaries. With "Hex; or Printing in the Infernal Method" Earth create a intense, powerful album that defies restrictions of genre. The monolithic darkness of previous releases such as "Earth 2" is still apparent. though now shifted away from saturated and distorted guitar tones. Using compression, echo, tremelo, and reverb, it is a specifically American style. A "Black Americana" reminiscent of an immense desert landscape at dusk. It is a sound that draws on the influence of Duane Eddy, Merle Haggard & Roy Buchanan and fuses it with the vibe of epic visionary composer Ennio Morricone. Beautifully darkened, huge chords that resonate slowly while every single note is played with a precise conviction.
Where "Hex" reveled in dark satanic twang and austere american beauty, 2008's "The Bees Made Honey In The Lion's Skull" finds Dylan Carlson and the band growing into a harder, more rock, American Gospel and impovisitory direction framed by truly psychedelic production and blazing guitar sounds. Earth shows it's affinity to the more adventurous San Francisco bands of the late 60's and 70's, and the more spiritually aware and exciting forms of Jazz-Rock from the same era.
The most recent records "Angels Of Darkness, Demons of Light - parts 1& 2" (2010 and 2011 respectively) serve as testament to the fact that they have come a long way since 1989. Drawing on inspiration from both British Folk-Rock bands Pentangle and Fairport Convention and the North African Tuareg band Tinariwen, the new material, while still "heavy" is much more fluid and melodically oriented, more textured and nuanced. It contains greater improvisatory interplay between the musicians.
On one hand they acknowledge previous recordings, cultivating the jazz infused Americana presented on "The Bees Made Honey In The Lion's Skull" and on the other, there are significant changes which give birth to yet another new sound. The addition of cello, though subtle at times, adds a more haunting tone to the repetition throughout.
Though such repetition may, at times, seem simplistic, there is absolutely nothing simple about holding a note as long as Earth do.
"The ongoing musical project which is Earth has always been concerned with repetition and the drone or THE NOTE. When I was younger and full of hubris I believed that a "pure" or "original" music could be developed in a static and removed state from other music. I now realize that music, especially music containing the drone or THE NOTE, and music that effects a spiritual reaction from the listener is a continuum. It is a music that has continued throughout time and manifested itself in a number of different forms or "genres" or"styles". I began to see my music as part of and a product of that continuum. I also began to see that continuum strongly expressed in historically 'american' forms. Specifically the "genres" of "country" and "blues". The truly 'cosmic american musics'. Dylan Carlson summer 2005."
Every music nerd has gotten roped into the desert island conversation. You know—what's the one record you would bring with you to some remote location to provide solace for the rest of your days? Or better yet, what's the one band whose catalog would always remain fresh to your ears, even after years and years of isolation? Of course, the ideal candidate would be a band who has a significant body of work, a band who's songs span a variety of temperaments and timbres, and, obviously, a band that just plain rules. With their fourth album, Stillicide, Helms Alee prove that they might be the only group you would need for the rest of your life. Hyperbole? Perhaps. But the Washington state trio of Ben Verellen (guitar, vocals), Dana James (bass, vocals), and Hozoji Margullis (drums, vocals) delivers the kind of expertly crafted, dynamic, nuanced, and diverse songwriting that is both instantly engaging and—as evidenced by their previous albums Night Terror (2008), Weatherhead (2011), and Sleepwalking Sailors (2014)—increasingly gratifying after years of repeated listens.
With Stillicide, Helms Alee continues their sonic tradition of blending heavy riffs, dark guitar pop, and math rock into songs that are at turns brutal, anthemic, and cerebrally engaging. Starting with the syncopated poundage and epic piano line of "More Weight", Helms Alee demonstrates that they've fortified every angle of their attack. You want amp worship? Try to find a more barbaric chug than the riff in the appropriately titled "Galloping Mind Fuk". You want melodies so powerful you break out in goosebumps? Try to quell your follicles during the final crescendo of "Tit to Toe". You want one of those proggy odd-time signature moments where you can flex that you know where the "1" falls while banging your head? Listen to "Bullygoat" and bask in the knotty introductory guitar line that sounds like Duane Denison fucking with Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus". Relish the brutalage of the title track. Savor the minor-key jangle of "Andromenous". Ride the tumultuous tug-of-war between savagery and serenity in the album closer "Worth Your Wild".
After nearly a decade of existence, one can only assume that a band is either entering their sunset years or striding with such artistic strength and confidence that they are creating a whole new legacy for themselves. With Helms Alee, it is obviously the latter scenario. The band set a high bar for themselves with their spectacular debut album Night Terror, but every subsequent release has trumped their previous endeavors. Bolstered by the recording and production expertise of Kurt Ballou at God City Studios, Stillicide is not only the group's strongest collection of songs, it is arguably their best sounding release to date. The heavier moments are that much more oppressive; their melodic angles are that much more beguiling, and the juxtaposition between Verellen's patriarchal roar and the siren song vocals of James and Margullis is that much more exhilarating. If there was only one band you could listen to for the rest of your life, Helms Alee would satiate most every emotional yearning. And if you could only pick one of their albums, you'd gravitate towards the best document of their textural range and songwriting chops. You'd gravitate towards Stillicide. - by Brian Cook

My Book of Ideas!
My 'Book of Ideas'!
With all of the submissions of the Book of Ideas coming through I felt inspired to make a book of my own!
I decided to let this book evolve organically and just start writing whatever came to mind – what I'm working through at the moment – and that happens to be researching creativity and working through my website development content!
When I'm starring at a blank page I tend to freeze up a bit. So, I decided to just START!
I invite you to join the project! All it takes is some paper or a notebook, writing materials and time to ask yourself:
"What inspires me?"
We hope you'll also encourage the little people in your life to keep a Book of Ideas!
For more information and to see the celebration of idea books shared so far, visit our 'Book of Ideas' Project page!

WHAT ARE THE PERIMETERS... of a famous holiday many people pause to celebrate, or at least acknowledge in a festive, friends-come-together way? Especially a holiday that has some fairly defined edges as to what foods we typically eat -- turkey, yams, cranberry -- and what foods we do not -- everything that isn't turkey, yams, and cranberry? It can be difficult to break out of what one does, year after year, because tradition has a strong and fast hold. But what if a tradition surrounding Thanksgiving also dealt with some of the themes of the day, including joy, gathering, fun, and good tunes? Nope, we're not talking about throwing some vinyl down to accompany dinner, we're talking about the live, foot-stomping, put on your twirliest skirt and dance sounds of the San Diego Jazz Fest. As for the tradition end of things? This sound do-it-up has been doing it up for 35 years, so, for sure, that's well into the tradition zone. As for the Thanksgiving end of things? It's unusual to find a multi-day music happening over this particular holiday weekend -- Memorial and Labor Day Weekends are the more apt candidates -- but participants, and fans, are clearly all about the festive, heading-into-the-holidays mood.
NOV. 26 THROUGH 30: We weren't pulling your (turkey) leg about Thanksgiving being smack dab in the middle of this brassy party. Centered around San Diego's Town & Country Hotel and Convention Center, the fest'll feature the likes of the Red Skunk Band, Cornet Chop Suey, Yerba Buena Stompers, and Corey's Rolling Figs (and so many more, caboodles more). A Swing Dance Extravaganza on Saturday, Nov. 29 is a sparkly centerpiece, so, you betcha, we were being fully serious about your twirliest skirt.
AS FOR CELEBRATING THANKSGIVING... like Thanksgiving? You could find some yams, we bet, in the vicinity of the tunes. But tunes are happy-makers, and the holiday is about gratitude, so if music means much in your life, why not spend the gratefullest of days with some jump-and-jive joy?
