This year's website Poet in Residence is Longfella, aka Tony Walsh. Tony will be writing poems for the website throughout the Festival weekend, just as Jo Bell did last year.
Tony will be tweeting from the Festival – you can follow him at @LongfellaPoet. Tony's also hoping to crowd-source a poem which will be posted here on the website and performed at the Festival. To get involved, simply tweet him a Glastonbury memory, completing the sentence "The moment when…" in 8 words or less, using the hashtag #glastopoet.
Wednesday, June 29
Sunday, June 26
Tony appeared on BBC 6Music last night live from at Glastonbury and performed a poem that he had written on the day in tribute to the late, great Glastonbury stalwart and legendary DJ John Peel. The poem adds the voice of performance poetry to the many scenes which owe the great man a debt of thanks and records how John was a srong supporter of the likes of John Cooper Clarke and Linton Kwesi Johnson. Listen again on the BBC iPlayer.
Back in the era when vinyl was vital
Each platter that mattered a vital recital
When the Festive Fifty and every Peel session
Was essential listening, a real obsession
When Peel Acres and Maida Vale
Were secretly famous, a complete Holy Grail
An avancular uncle with a grizzly grey beard
A funky punk uncle still keeping it weird
You were dry and ironic on Top of the Pops
You were wry and sardonic as they bopped til they dropped
You would stand there bemused, just extracting the urine
Then, completely amused as you slipped something pure in
And you played the essentials, a playlist of passion
Not the inconsequential with the vagueness of fashion
And we, the outsiders, with music inside us
And Peel the provider, just there to provide us
With weirdness and beardness, the craziest combos
Yes, sometimes you'd fail but you'd fail with aplomb though
And who cared that you played them at all the wrong speeds
Cos you were daring to play them and that's all it needs
And there was Hegley and Joolz there was Linton KJ
Johnny Clarke and Attila were blazing the way
Ivor Cutler and Swells, and all different wordsmiths
But you'd time for them all and you really deserve this…
You see, music is grateful and they've had chance to show it
But I'd like to say thanks on behalf of the poets
And you told us of Walters, The Kop and your wife
While every night this dj was saving my life
And you're missed on the wireless and Glastonbury telly
And it's just not the same without Peel in his wellies
So I just wanna tell you, wanna tell you tonight
And say thanks for the kicks, John, mate, right through the night
Well alright!

2. Unhappiness is a wet dongle.
3. Columbo died. We all wore dirty raincoats as a tribute.
4. Rooney's chopper is trending. Again.
5. Friday Muddy Friday. Where the streets make you lame.
6. God is an astronaut not a dj. But he will sing backing vocals for those that he worships.
7. It was good to see that U2 have updated some of their songs. I particularly enjoyed "I Will FF."
8. David Cameron is officially a "silly twit." Morrissey says so. And he knows so much about these things.
9. Me: "T'is murder."
10. But this place is amazing!
Don't bring any glass-tonbury

Friday June 24
Ten Things That I Learned Today At Glastonbury: Thursday
1. If you camp next to people who have sprayed their massive tent with the legend "HCB: Hardcore Cider Bastards" then they probably are.
2. We need more than one word for mud.
3. The setting sun makes a noise. It appears to be "Psssssshhhh."
4. The only type of hat that suits my face would seem to be a ski mask. Plus maybe a Mexican wrestling mask for Sundays.
5. TV cameras emit secret rays which turn passers-by into idiots.
6. If your burgers are made from "rare breeds" mate, you know…maybe there's something to think about there.
7. The poets here are outstanding in their field. So go to their field!
8. Some people leave a massive trace.
9. Didgeridont!
10. This place is amazing.
Elvis lives! In Wythenshawe
The Pope has launched a condom store
The weather's not shit anymore!
And it never rains at Glasto
Father Christmas, he's retired
Michael Gove is well admired
Alan Sugar, he's been fired
And it never rains at Glasto
Eurovision and the UK won
Katie Price is now a nun
I read it last week in The Sun
And it never rains at Glasto
Osborne got his numbers right
Simon Cowell isn't shite
Cameron spoke and he was right
And it never rains at Glasto
I liked it once when Jedward sang
My phone went, Angelina rang
They've called their baby Cillit Bang
And it never rains at Glasto
A World Cup game went just as planned
Dale Winton isn't orange tanned
Girls Aloud want me in the band
And it never rains at Glasto
There's never ever any mud
It never ever ever floods
It's never any f***ing good
And it never rains at Glasto
Have you got mud on your face, you big disgrace?
Yesterday in the Fluffy Rock Cafe the crowd joined me in an historic mass rendition of "We Love Glasto" to the tune of Queen's "We Will Rock You."
For added fun (!) we replaced the clapping noises of the original with half the crowd saying "Bang, Bang" like the toilet doors and the others making the "Psssssh" noise of the dreaded gas cannister (Don't do it, kids!) Surely the twin soundtracks to the Glastonbury experience.
Bang, Bang, Psssh
Bang, Bang, Psssh
We love, we love Glasto!
Pass it on! With claps or with the noises – whatever works for you. Let's see if we can get it on the telly from the Pyramid stage.
You heard it here first! Unless you were in the Fluffy Rock, of course.
and drugs
and rock n roll
Some people live like this all the time
Some people live like this all the time
Huddled under canvas
Queuing for a tap
Flooding and diarrhoea
Some people live like this all the time

Ten Things That I Learned Today at Glastonbury: Wednesday.
1. The weather is ALWAYS gorgeous.
2. Putting pole A into slot B then pole C into slots D and E can be helped by the using swear word F.
3. If your tent cost less than £12 then iiiiit's probably going to leak, dude.
4. Yes, we CAN hear you having sex. And we're marking you out of ten. You scored two, mate. As you appeared to be on your own.
5. I want to go to Poonarnia.
6. Ladies! Short shorts and flowery wellies is a very good look. Gentlemen! Not so much.
7. It's not that interesting behind the Pyramid stage. But there is a big zebra. And a giraffe. And a rhino. (I'm not sure if they're plastic or very highly trained.)
8. If you fall full length in the mud then it's very wet. And it hurts. And people laugh. A lot.
9. (M&S voice) This isn't just any old mud. This is prime Somerset organic dairy farm mud. With cow shit in.
10. This place is amazing.
We're grateful to the people who keep safety in the queues
We're grateful to the first aid folk who'll help you with a bruise
We're grateful to the guys who sell the psychedelic booze
But let's hear it for the guys who lose our poos!
We're grateful to the guys who keep fresh water in the taps
(Do you see where we're going here?)
We're grateful to those famous painted naked dancing chaps
We're grateful to the bloke who puts an ostrich on our baps (Are you sure?)
But let's hear it for the chaps who zap our craps!
We're grateful to the squads of bods who pick up all the litter
We're grateful to the people who put feta on our pitta
We're grateful to the lady wearing only silver glitter
But let's hear it for the guys who shine the shitters!
We're grateful to the comics for their humour and their wit (You're ahead of me now!)
We're love the pyromaniacs who keep the night times lit
I love my camping neighbour too, the noisy, selfish git
But let's hear it for the shamen of the shit!
We're grateful to the dairy team who've moved all Michael's herds
We're grateful for the 4am dawn chorus of the birds
We're grateful to the poets for the beauty of their words (Like these!)
But let's hear it for the A-team of the turds
We're grateful to the artisans for sharing crafts and hobbies
We're grateful to the gang of lads all dressed as Mr Blobby's
We're grateful to the stewards and the good old British bobbies
But let's hear it for the top job with the jobbies!
We're grateful to the people who do all the pretty lights
We're grateful to the artists for their carnival delights
We're grateful to the crazies for so many stunning sites
But let's hear it for the plight of those
The basic human rights of those
The musn't be quite right of those, the guys who shift our shite!
Saturday June 18
To kick things off, Tony (who's a Festival regular) has written a terrific poem, entitled 'Why Glastonbury?'. Check it out below (photos and video by Rohan van Twest).
As well as his daily poems, Tony will be tweeting from the Festival – you can follow him at @LongfellaPoet. Tony's also hoping to crowd-source a poem which will be posted here on the website and performed at the Festival. To get involved, simply tweet him a Glastonbury memory, completing the sentence "The moment when…" in 8 words or less, using the hashtag #glastopoet.
Tony will be performing on the Poetry&Words stage at 6.30pm on Friday and 12.50pm on Sunday. You can check out more of his work on his website, at longfella.co.uk.
Here is the text for the poem above…
G is for the green fields, and for grining in the queues.
L is for that long walk with your luggage and your booze.
A is for the atmosphere, it's awesome, always fun and
S is for the sun rise. And the sunsets. And the sun.
T is for the toilets and the traffic and the tents.
O is for outrageous and for Oh! My! God! events and
N is for the night time filled with naughtiness, insane and
B is beer and burgers, bongos banging in your brain and
U is uuurgh! 'Ungover but you're up until you drop and
R is righteous rock n roll and raving round the clock and
Y could be for youth, it could be yoga in a yurt but
Y is why they do this. Why we come back every year.
Why? Because it's built on love. We find it in ourselves.
And while we're feeling loved up we love everybody else.
And Oxfam, Greenpeace, Wateraid and all the other causes
teach that people loving people is the strongest of resources.
So why don't we share lessons from this special time together?
And why don't we ask why more? And why can't things change forever?
And so why don't we resolve here now that Glastonbury's flames
will light a thousand beacons and ignite the sparks of change!
And so why don't we grow wings here as a mighty flock of doves
With a single word to change the world and that simple word is love!
I said why don't we take strength here as a mighty flock of doves
With a single word to change the world and that simple word is love!
I said why don't we take flight here as a mighty flock of doves
With a single word to change the world and that simple word is love!
And we'll burn and soar like lanterns with a smile on every face
We'll take heart but leave a piece here. It's so hard to leave no trace.
And that's why there is a part of us that stays here when we're gone.
And that's why it's always special in these Fields of Avalon.
(Spread the love, Glastonbury. Spread the love.)

BMW 760Li Battery Replacement Cost
Know what price you should pay to get your vehicle fixed.
What is a battery?
The battery, in conjunction with the alternator, supplies the electrical power needed for the lights, stereo, and all other electrical components. The battery stores electrical power to start the engine, and allows electronic components to function when the alternator cannot produce enough power.
How does the battery work?
As the engine is running, the alternator is constantly recharging the battery and providing electrical power to the vehicle simultaneously. The battery stores this electrical power and, when requested by turning the key, uses the stored power to start the engine. When additional batteries are stored on a vehicle, they may assist in starting the engine, or they can send power to additional components that were not included with the vehicle when manufactured. Some cars use up to four batteries, such as the original Hummer, but for the overwhelming majority of cars, one battery is sufficient for all standard operations.
Find a Certified Mechanic
What are the symptoms related to a bad battery?
The battery is considered "dead" when there is insufficient charge to start the engine, or run electrical components. Normally, the first sign is dim lighting in the interior of the vehicle, and when attempting to start, the engine may crank extremely slowly, or not at all. A very rapid clicking noise is normally heard if there is any charge left in the battery, but in many cases the vehicle will be completely unresponsive to any input. If the battery is losing charge while driving the vehicle, the battery warning light will illuminate, and the engine may stall from lack of electrical power needed to run.
Can I drive with a battery problem?
Vehicles with manual transmissions can be manually started by pushing the vehicle to considerable speed, and releasing the clutch quickly. If the battery is faulty, this will allow the vehicle to start using power from the alternator. The vehicle may be able to start using jumper cables, but if the battery is faulty, the jumper-cable wire thickness must be sufficient to allow the engine to start using power exclusively from the second vehicle's battery.
How often do batteries need to be replaced?
Batteries fail at no specific mileage interval or age. The older a battery however, the more typical it is to experience failure. Proper maintenance of the starting and charging system can prolong the life of the battery, as well as other starting and charging components.
Related BMW 760Li Estimates
How are battery issues diagnosed?
A "dead battery" does not necessarily mean the battery is at fault. Vehicles exhibiting the symptoms of a dead battery should be properly tested (e.g. individual cell voltage, load, and conductance tests) by connecting to a starting and charging system test machine. This is an advanced device that will test every part of the starting and charging system automatically by following onscreen instructions. The machine will display results and may also require the servicing technician to complete visual inspections while testing is in progress. If the battery is found to be discharged below the required voltage, it will be recharged, retested, and possibly replaced. If the battery is not at fault, other issues that cause electrical current flow — sometimes in very low amounts after the vehicle is shut off — can cause chronic dead battery problems and be the true cause.
How is a battery replaced?
Battery replacement, for most vehicles, is typically fast and easy. When replacing the battery, battery cable, or the battery cable end, apply the emergency brake, remove the keys from the ignition, and turn off all electrical components. Before disconnecting the battery, make sure the radio anti-theft code is available; some vehicles require certain systems to be reset or "learned" after the battery is installed. These can include engine and/or transmission adaptation, power window pinch protection, power seat/mirror settings, and radio station presets.
When ready, the battery cables should be disconnected and any battery insulation material should be removed. The negative cable is always removed first, followed by the positive cable. After removing both cables, the hardware holding brackets are loosened and/or removed. If you carefully follow these steps, any reserve voltage in the electrical system will equalize. The battery will then be free for removal.
When installing the new battery, always connect the positive cable first, followed by the negative cable because the computer memory and adaptive functions will start to energize as soon as the new battery is connected. To avoid damaging the computers or software in the vehicle, it is important to have the correct polarity.
Note that some vehicles place the battery in the trunk, the front or rear wheel well, or under the seats. In these instances, accessibility of the battery may dictate dismantling several components before the replacement can begin.
RepairPal Recommendations for battery issues
We recommend using a battery rated identically to the original battery. Using too small or too large of a battery will result in overcharging or undercharging, and will lead to repeated failure.
What to look out for when dealing with battery issues
A dead battery can be caused by several components. Most commonly, the issues causing battery power depletion are battery cables, failed connections due to corrosion, an electrical system malfunction causing battery drain while the vehicle is off, and long periods without using a vehicle. That being said, the battery must be tested prior to replacement, as the battery very often is replaced needlessly when a jumpstart or other solution would suffice.
Can I replace the battery myself?
Replacing the battery is a great DIY project that can be completed in short order for most cars. However, there is a risk of electrical shock and other electrical component failure if arcing occurs at the battery terminals. Prior to performing this maintenance, the vehicle's battery location should be noted and, if the location requires much disassembly, either a very experienced DIYer or a trained technician should be trusted with the repair.

A reader emailed the following question as it relates to "open carry": "Is a holstered hand gun mounted plainly in view in a vehicle considered concealed?"
A reader emailed the following question as it relates to "open carry": "Is a holstered hand gun mounted plainly in view in a vehicle considered concealed?"
The answer is yes, it is considered concealed. I will refer to MSP's legal update #86 which provides detailed information about this issue as well as many other laws about possessing and carrying firearms.
MCL 750.227(2) makes it a felony for a person to transport a pistol anywhere in a vehicle unless the person is licensed to carry a concealed pistol. Exceptions to the above statute are found in MCL 750.231a.
One such exception allows for transportation of pistols in a vehicle for a "lawful purpose." ("Lawful purposes are listed in MCL 750.231)
MCL 750.231a also provides that a pistol transported for a "lawful purpose" by a person not licensed to carry a concealed pistol must be unloaded, in a closed case designed for firearms, and in the trunk (or if the vehicle has no trunk, it must not be readily accessible to the occupants).
There is no way to "open carry" a pistol in a vehicle. An individual, without a CPL who transports a pistol in a vehicle to an area where he or she intends to "open carry" may be in violation of MCL 750.227.
Keith Disselkoen is a Community Service Trooper for the MSP Lakeview Post. If you have a question for Trooper Disselkoen, you can email him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

I have been an admirer of Lily's designs for a few years now. She is an absolute wonder.ReplyDelete
No need to enter me in the contest. Unfortunately I wouldn't have the time to make any of the designs if I won. I just wanted to comment and agree with everything that you said about her.
wow - so amazing that she's only 13! i especially love the beret. :)ReplyDelete

Lower Silesian Voivodship : Wrocław
Wrocław[10] (Polish: Wrocław , pronounced Vrots-waf; also known as Breslau, its German name, and English name until 1945) is the largest city in the Dolnośląskie (Lower Silesian) Voivodeship in Poland. Wroclaw is also a historic capital of Silesia. Wrocław is a city where football matches during Euro 2012 have been played [11] and also 2016 European Capital of Culture [12].
Wroclaw in Polish (also known as Breslau in German) is a large undiscovered gem of a city in southwestern Poland in the historic region of Silesia. It boasts fascinating architecture, many rivers and bridges, and a lively and metropolitan cultural scene. Like many cities in Central Europe, it is a city with a troubled past, having seen much violence and devastation. Prior to the Second World War, Breslau was the capital of the German province of Prussian Lower Silesia. It became Polish territory when, after the War, the Soviets moved the German/Polish border westward to the Oder/Neisse Line. Breslau was almost completely destroyed during the end of the War as the Red Army fought its way into Germany towards Berlin, being declared a "Fortress City" by Hitler. However, it has been wonderfully restored and can now be counted amongst the highlights of Poland and of all Central Europe. As Poland rushes headlong into further integration with the rest of Europe, now is the time to visit before the tourist hordes (and high prices) arrive. Right now, most tourists are only Polish and German. There are also many Japanese and Korean businessmen and their families living in Wrocław now.
Get in
By plane
Wroclaw is served by an international airport [13].
LOT [14] flies here from Warsaw (8 times a day except Sundays when there are only 6 flights), and together with Lufthansa to Frankfurt Main, Düsseldorf and Munich.
Scandinavian Airlines from Copenhagen.
Ryanair [15] and Wizz Air [16] from several European destinations.
From the airport, bus 406 operates from the terminal building to central Wrocław between 5am and 11pm every 20 minutes (schedule: [17]). There is also a night bus 249 (schedule: [18]). The night bus will take approximately one hour to get to the city center (it will have a short break in the Jarnołtów district). If you are not sure how to get to your final destination in Wrocław by public transport, it might be helpful to use the journey planner [19]. Single-ride tickets from Wroclaw Airport to the city center cost 3.00 PLN (or 1.50 PLN for students or ISIC/EURO 26 Holders).
By train
Wrocław is a major hub in the Polish rail network, with several trains a day to all large Polish cities (route planner [20]). There are about 10 daily departures to Warsaw (travel time varies from 5h by a InterCity train, up to almost 7h with a TLK (fast) train) as well as quite a lot of trains to Poznań (from there you can go to Warsaw or Berlin). Several trains a day go to Kraków. There are also international trains to Hamburg (via Berlin), Prague, Dresden, Kiev (via Lviv) and Budapest.
By bus
Wrocław is a stop on the Eurolines [21] international coach network. All international and national buses stop at the PKS Centrum station which is located directly behind the main train station. The actual timetable can be found on [22] (click "Odjazdy autobusów z Dworca Centralnego PKS").
PolskiBus operates routes to Prague and Warsaw (via Łódź). Tickets are only available online [23], but traveling with them is comfortable. Buses are brand new and free WiFi is available on-board. Tickets are cheap when bought in advance. One-way tickets are available from 1 zł (plus 1 for reservation).
Every day a fast bus runs between Wrocław and Kraków [24]. The bus leaves at 8.50 PM and arrives in Kraków around 11.50 PM. On Thursday, Friday and Sunday there is also a fast bus service leaving at 3.30 PM and arriving in Kraków at 6.30 PM. On Monday an additional service to Kraków leaves Wrocław at 11:00 AM (arriving around 2.15 PM in Kraków). Tickets cost 39 PLN and can be bought on board. Reservations can be made by sending an SMS indicating the date and time of departure and your name to +48664670191.
Another company that rides to Kraków and back (with a stop in Katowice) is Lajkonik [25]. Three runs everyday each direction. One way ticket is 43 zł (and there are some small discounts for students).
Get around
The centre of Wrocław is navigable on foot, but the city has an excellent public-transport system for access to the suburbs and outlying attractions, with 60 bus lines and 25 tram lines. During the past year large areas of the surrounding area of Wroclaw have been closed for extensive road works. As such there are many diversions, and journey times in and out of the city have increased especially at peak times and a few tram lines have been diverted or removed from service temporarily.
By bus or tram
Tickets are sold in lots of places. Look for "Ruch" kiosks, post offices. You should be able to buy them in most newspaper stores also.
In the city centre you can find lots of ticket machines offering all types of tickets [26].
In every bus and tram there should be a ticket machine installed too [27]. Payment only by credit/debit card(Visa/Master Card/American Express). Watch out, Maestro is not accepted!
You must validate your ticket (also a period one) on board, or face a 120zł fine if caught by an inspector (100zł if paid within 7 days).
Ticket prices:
There are 2 types of tickets (prices: normal fare/discounted fare):
One ride tickets: for normal lines 3.00zł/1.50zł, for express or night bus - 3.20zł/1.60zł. These tickets are not time-based or route-based - you must pay each time you enter a different vehicle.
Period tickets: 30-minutes - 3.00zł/1.50zł, 60-minutes - 4.40zł/2.20zł, 90-minutes - 6.00zł/3.00zł, 24-hours - 11.00zł/5.50zł, 48-hours - 20.00zł/10.00zł, 72-hours - 26.00zł/13.00zł.
If you travel with large bags (such as backpacks) you must buy a 1.50zł ticket for the bag.
If your stay will be longer check the Urbancard offer [28].
Route numbers
By taxi
Go to the rope park on Opatowicka island, Opatowicka Wyspa Przygody.
Nowe Horyzonty (New Horizons) - International Film Festival. Best Film Festival in Poland. Ten days of films, concerts and exhibitions. End of July [49]
Dialog Festival - International Theatre Festival. October [50]
International Festival Wratislavia Cantans - oratorio and cantata music in Wroclaw's historical venues. September [51]
There is for some reason, a stunning amount of Italian inspired Pizza restaurants, if you like Pizza then this is the town for you.
Pierożek, Marszałka Józefa Piłsudskiego 20 (next to the Casino, close to the Scandic Hotel) - according to many Wroclavians, the best pierogi in Wrocław, priced at about 10 zł for a small portion (you may need to order two if you're hungry). Try pierogi ruskie (with potatoes and cottage cheese) with kefir and barszcz (borscht) and "nalesniki" (pancakes) to experience what real Polish pierogi ought to taste like. The place is small and basic, you may need to wait for a seat, but the food is top-notch.
Cultural note: the "bars" listed below are in fact self-service canteens, known as milk bars (bar mleczny), offering inexpensive and traditional Polish meals. They are a gastronomic and cultural experience. They should be open even on national holidays. Expect short queues.
Bar Miś, 48 Kuźnicza Street, 700 ft. north of Rynek (Market Place or central square). M-F 7-18 and Sa 8-17. Offers an ample and diversified menu, including meat-based dishes. Students, staff and professors of the University of Wroclaw usually eat there, together with homeless people, elderly and pensioners. After entering go to the cash desk (at the left corner) and order your meal (Polish only). Turn right, go to the food counter and handle your receipt to the person serving the meals. Mains 1.50-4.50 zl.
Bar Bazylia, Kuźnicza Street / corner of Universytecki Square, 300 ft. after bar "Miś", inside the building of University's Law Department. Very clean and fast service. Offers a more stylish ambient. Mains 3-9 zl.
Bar Mewa, Dubois Street, 7 minutes walk north from Rynek through University Main Building and Pomorski Bridge. M-F 8-18, Sa & Su 9-16. The cheapest. Offers some dishes only at specific hours: pirogi - 13:00, pancakes - 14:00, pirogi with cabbage - 15:00, potato pancakes - 16:00. You pay directly at the food delivery counter (Polish only).
Abrams' Tower - Resto Bar and Wine Shop (also formerly known as Baszta and La luz), 14 Krainskiego Street. Both the first wine bar and multi-ethnic kitchen in Wroclaw, with delicious food influenced mainly by Mexican but also a unique menu of "Global Tapas", Thai, Indian, Spanish, Middle Eastern, Italian and other dishes, relying on authentic preparation and ingredients. Their Mexican selection is on the level of high caliber Tex-Mex cuisine, including fresh cilantro (coriander), imported corn tortillas, jalapenos and chipotles. Yet prices are very reasonable. They also serve a wonderful selection of quality wines. Situated inside a 13th century tower, it's a bit hidden in a courtyard behind old buildings made in the socialist times but a rare jewel worth the effort to find, an alternative to the crowded city's market square. The first floor has a decor of illuminated wine bottles and ethnic music is also played from Caribbean to gypsy to acid jazz and Latin rhythms. Lounge sofa seating with big fluffy pillows lining the walls, antique furniture and candles everywhere, lends a very comfortable homey atmosphere. Food is served until late evening and while cigarettes are not allowed, shisha is available on the bar floor, the staff friendly and English speaking.
Amalfi, Wiezienna Street. The only place in southwestern Poland serving authentic thin-slice Italian pizza from a proper, scorching-hot wood oven. Tastes just like in Rome. About 15 zl for a pizza for one person. Italian owners.
Oregano, Igielna Street. Inexpensive restaurant with pizza and a variety of other dishes.
Piramida, Wita Stwosza Street. Egyptian restaurant. Kitschy interior and big portions.
Gruzińskie Chaczapuri, Mikolaja Street (nearly adjacent to Market Square), a budding franchise originating from Krakow, serves Georgian food (khachapuri). Try "lawasz z adżapsandałem" (dough filled with a tasty mix of tomatoes, bell peppers, aubergines, garlic and goat cheese) for about 15 zl.
Mexico Bar, Rzeźnicza Street. A favorite of many Wroclavians. As long as you are willing to eat a somewhat modified version of Mexican cuisine, you should enjoy the large, rich portions at Mexico Bar. You might want to order the "hot" (na ostro) version of your dish, as the regular dishes are surprisingly mild. This is a small, popular place, so you may have to wait for your seat at the bar.
Radisson Hotel. Next to Panorama Racławicka.
Pod papugami. At Rynek, next to Spiż Cellar (see above). Offers good meals and a good selection of salads.
There's quite a significant number of different clubs and pubs in Wroclaw. Most of them are located in the centre of the old town, many good ones however, are situated a few crossings from the Town Square, not within its very borders. The Town Square mostly contains some not very specific, quite expensive restaurants, although it is definitely needed to mention the Spiż Cellar, an interesting mini-brewery with a few tasty kinds of locally made beer and a unique interior design. There are also two discos quite popular among fans of house/techno music - Daytona and Związki. However, pub-wanderers, who want to meet interesting people and/or get involved in some discussions will probably enjoy places situated in some less obvious locations than right in the Town Square. Good examples of such places are:
Mleczarnia (pronounced 'Mletcharnya'), [52], ul. Włodkowica 5 - a bit further from the Town Square but still not too far, near the main courthouse in a quiet street - quite a large pub occupying the basement and ground level of an old fin-de-siecle building. It has unique dark, cozy, wooden interiors and a specific atmosphere. Music played is quite specific and varied - among the styles played are: Jewish music, jazz, progressive rock, film music and others. There are often some cultural events, like discussion clubs or film projections taking place in the basement. They also have a hostel in that same building.
Bezseność (Insomnia), [53], ul. Ruska 51, upstairs. Concerts, film screenings. Popular place.
Setka, [54], ul. Kazimierza Wielkiego 50A, on the corner. Supposedly PRL (Communist) style, well - kitschy. But open 24/7 with cheap alcohol (4 PLN for a glass of beer or shot of vodka) and good meals.
There are also clubs dedicated especially to rock music fans, in Wrocław. Most popular are:
Od Zmierzchu do Świtu (From Dusk till Dawn), [55], ul. Krupnicza 15 - located opposite the main courthouse in a basement. You can regularly hear live music there. On Wednesdays there are concerts of young rock bands, on Thursdays jam sessions featuring a bunch of resident performers. Their level varies from great to moderate. On Fridays and Saturdays there are rock parties with a DJ.
There's also plenty of other clubs and pubs in Wroclaw. It's a great adventure to explore them because most have their own specific style and atmosphere.
Stay Safe
Wrocław, like most of Poland, is a very safe city but you should exercise the usual caution and keep guard of your valuables especially around crowded places or places popular with tourists like the main train station or the town square (Rynek).
Because international tourism has not quite hit Wroclaw yet, English is not as universally spoken as in the tourist areas of Kraków. You'll still be able to get around and pantomime, or find someone who speaks English, but it's easiest if you know at least a few Polish phrases.

Princeton-based Covance Inc. conducts clinical trials worldwide for pharmaceutical and biotech research companies, and while New Jersey has lost portion of its pharma industry, the state remains an excellent location, Covance CEO Joseph Herring told a meeting of business executives Tuesday evening.
"Within an hour and a half of here, two-thirds of all the decisions for the global (pharma) industry are made — so if you want to see your clients, you might as well be in New Jersey," Herring told a joint meeting of Financial Executives International and ACG NJ at the Westin in Princeton. He said New Jersey is close to "not only the top pharma companies, but also burgeoning biotech companies, midsized pharma companies and specialty companies." Covance, he said, is in New Jersey "to be close to the decision makers in our client organizations."
Herring said the state must focus on stemming the out-migration of the pharmaceutical industry, even as the pharmaceutical industry overall is being transformed from a U.S. industry into a global business. "New Jersey has to offer incredible incentives to keep the nerve center of the pharma industry here. Even though a lot of our work is done in other countries, there is more (pharmaceutical) knowledge in New Jersey than any other place in the world, by far," he said. "So for God's sake, save this industry for New Jersey, no matter what it takes. Because when it leaves, it ain't coming back."
Covance has about $2 billion in annual revenues and about 1,000 employees in Princeton, including about 700 who comprise the global headquarters of the company's clinical trial business. He said Covance does safety or efficacy work for one-third of all prescription medications on the market today, including 38 of the top 40 drugs.
Herring said Covance faced a major challenge when the 2008 credit crisis slashed pharma and biotech spending. Covance decided to wind down portions of its business and focus on clinical trials.
"The good news was that our corporate culture was to take care of clients, so we started growing our clinical and central lab business like no one believed we could grow," he said. He said one of the core principles of the company is to "preserve the opportunity to participate in the market rebound," and to that end, the company is investing $250 million in IT systems. He said preserving future opportunity also means "putting your arms around your best people. Tell them you trust them, you respect them, you care about them and they are important to the company's future. If people know you care about them, they will do unbelievable things for your company."

The war on terrorism is an abject failure. The terrorists are here in Western Pennsylvania, and our state government protects them.
I spent a recent weekend with a group of about 100 concerned citizens on an organic farm in Bessemer, Lawrence County. We spent the entire weekend camping, strategizing — peacefully exercising our right to assembly.
We were there to discuss how we should deal with a gas well being installed by Shell Oil Co. about 4,000 feet from a farm. The placement of the well is problematic for a number of reasons, but that's not the point of this letter.
The state Department of Environmental Protection has, intentionally, withheld water test results from homeowners near wells. Though that is a scandal, that also is not the point of this letter.
Shell Oil is a corporate bad actor. It has been alleged that Shell's relationship with the Nigerian government, police and military led to a wide range of human rights violations and deaths. In 2009, Shell agreed to pay a $15.5 million settlement, although admitting no wrongdoing. The suit alleged that Shell was involved in a campaign against local activists — a campaign that left 2,000 dead and 30,000 homeless.
Shell also has a long history of environmental disasters. A pipeline in Nigeria had two leaks that spilled more oil than was spilled during the Exxon Valdez disaster. It still has not presented a plan to clean up that mess.
Shell had more than 200 significant leaks in Nigeria in 2011. Shell had a huge oil spill in the North Sea in 2011. It didn't report that spill for two days.
On the Monday morning following the weekend at the organic farm, with just a small group of the citizens still in attendance, still at the farm, almost a mile from the Shell well, we were finishing our meetings and preparing to go to the site to protest. That's when we noticed a state police helicopter circling over the farm.
Shortly thereafter, we noticed three state police cruisers parked on the road adjacent to the farm. There also were state police vehicles parked on other roads near the farm.
A bit later, after I flagged him down, a trooper told me there also were troopers at the well site. I assured the trooper that we were a peaceful, nonviolent group.
I personally saw 10 separate state police vehicles and the helicopter; a reporter at the scene told me she had seen 16 separate vehicles.
What does it say about our country when such a force is mobilized in the face of approximately 40 demonstrators exercising their right to peaceful assembly? What it says to me is that there are people in high places who have little regard for the constitutional rights of citizens. What it says to me is that the "rights" of an exploitative multinational corporation with a long, disgraceful history are protected at great cost while the voice of the citizens is feared.
The attempt by the state to intimidate and stifle citizen speech is reprehensible. It will backfire.
If Gov. Tom Corbett or Shell thinks that this show of force will dissuade future attempts by citizens to have their say, they are sadly mistaken. We're not going anywhere.

The word "because," in standard English usage, is a subordinating conjunction, which means that it connects two parts of a sentence in which one (the subordinate) explains the other. In that capacity, "because" has two distinct forms. It can be followed either by a finite clause (I'm reading this because [I saw it on the web]) or by a prepositional phrase (I'm reading this because [of the web]). These two forms are, traditionally, the only ones to which "because" lends itself.
I mention all that ... because language. Because evolution. Because there is another way to use "because." Linguists are calling it the "prepositional-because." Or the "because-noun."
I'm a sucker for this kind of stuff. This is language changing before our very eyes - and thanks to the internet, it happens out in the open, in an easy documentable way, and at an incredibly fast pace.
Technology leaves nothing untouched.

The museum was donated to the city of Florence by Stefano Bardini (1836-1922), internationally renowned merchant and art connoisseur, who established his prestigious antiques gallery in the Piazza de' Mozzi complex, that was then converted into an impressive neo-Renaissance palazzo.
Altars, stairs, portals, columns and ceilings from churches and palaces were used to create rooms with an antique atmosphere, which even today can be perceived as one of the most interesting features of this museum.
The collection contains masterpieces of painting and sculpture such as the Charity by Tino di Camaino, the Virgin of the Cordai by Donatello, the Archangel Michael by Antonio del Pollaiolo and many fine examples of the minor arts: ceramics, medals, bronzes, oriental rugs, musical instruments and a small but impressive collection of arms.

SHORELINE CLASSIFICATION - ESI maps include a shoreline ranking, based on a scale relating sensitivity, natural persistence of oil, and ease of cleanup. The shoreline classification scheme combines an understanding of the physical and biological character of the shoreline environment, as well as the substrate type and grain size. Relationships among physical processes, substrate type, and associated biota produce specific geomorphic/ecological shoreline types, sediment transport patterns, and predictable oil behaviors and biological impacts. The sensitivity ranking (Rank 1 - Rank 10) is dictated by the following factors: relative exposure to wave and tidal energy, shoreline slope, substrate type (grain size, mobility, penetration and/or burial, and trafficability), and biological productivity and sensitivity.
Methods for classifying shorelines include review of existing maps, literature, and remote imagery, incorporated with observations from low-altitude aerial surveys and ground observations.
Base maps, shoreline, wetland boundaries, and aerial photographs are gathered prior to a survey. Using this information, along with any previous studies of the area, the geologist completes a preliminary shoreline classification. This classification is modified during the fieldwork process.
Fieldwork consists of two parts: aerial surveys and ground verifications. During the overflight phase, the geologist annotates the shoreline base map with ESI Rankings, carefully noting transitions in habitats. Shorelines with more than one ESI type in the intertidal zone are annotated on the map in order from landward to seaward ESI classification. A segment of coastline may be assigned up to three ESI shoreline types. In areas where the coastline has changed significantly from the base map (either through natural or artificial processes), the geologist modifies the base map by hand. In addition to classifying the shoreline, the observer takes representative low-altitude, oblique photographs for each ESI habitat.
Ground verification consists of spot-checking to confirm aerial observations. Ideally, an example of each habitat is visited and photographed from the ground. At a minimum, ground verification concentrates on confirming grain-size classification for sedimentary substrates, since this can be difficult to recognize from the air. If a portion of the coast is identified during the overflights as problematic or difficult to classify, that segment is ground checked and maps are updated according to the ground observations.
Once the field component of the project is complete, the maps are scanned and the digital shoreline arcs are updated with the ESI attributes noted in the field. The shape and position of the digital shoreline may also be modified at this time to reflect field observations. After the information from the field map has been incorporated into the digital database, the ESI shoreline is color-coded and replotted at the same scale as the original base maps. The geologist then compares the classified shoreline plots to the original field-annotated base maps and any errors in shoreline attributes, as recorded in the GIS database, are corrected.
SENSITIVE BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES - ESI maps depict oil-sensitive animals and rare plants, as well as habitats that are used by oil-sensitive species. Some habitats, such as submersed aquatic vegetation and coral reefs, that are themselves sensitive to oil spills may also be depicted.
Biological resource information is gathered from local officials who provide expert knowledge and suggest relevant source materials for biological resources in the study area. When the data have been collected and reviewed, the biologist plans how each resource will be mapped throughout the entire study area. During this process, it may be necessary to prioritize the species to be mapped in order to avoid excess clutter, which makes the final product difficult to read or interpret. Considerations may include species that are rare or listed as protected or endangered, or those species that have a particular commercial, recreational, or cultural value in the area. It may also be appropriate to limit some species-mapping to particularly critical life stages, such as nesting or spawning.
Biological features are mapped as points, polygons, and lines, and are given unique numbers corresponding to associated data tables, for easy identification and editing.
HUMAN-USE RESOURCES - ESI maps also include human-use areas that could be impacted by an oil spill, or that could provide access for spill response operations. They include areas that have added sensitivity and value because of their use, such as beaches, parks, and marine sanctuaries; water intakes; and archaeological sites. Human-use resources are divided into four major components: high-use recreational and shoreline access locations, management areas, resource extraction locations, and archaeological and historical cultural resource locations. Each human-use resource is assigned a feature type and feature code. Management areas are typically mapped as polygons, while the remaining socioeconomic resources are generally depicted as points.
For more information about the data sources and process for a particular resource, refer to the metadata record for the desired resource in the ESI atlas of interest.

38 comments:
My personal chef is Picard! I'd be hard pressed to pick a favorite main course---there are so many that are great! One hint---do go in different locations. They do not all stock the same things. :) For example, I must climb the hill to Pantheon to get Gateau Basque. However, it is so good that I'd do a lot more! The best! You must try!!ReplyDelete
Ah ha! I have Never seen Gateau Basque at my Picard.Delete
Too true indeed
Merci Carolg
I'm really surprised you didn't get caught taking photos chez Picard. Ever since the horsemeat scandal (they had some of the suspicious products--the lasagne) they have been forbidding anyone with a camera into the stores. Lucky you! We wouldn't want you to post about a Parisian prison!ReplyDelete
As often as I have been to Paris, I have never entered these pearly gates but I will be back in two weeks and now I will venture in. Thanks for the heads up. I love the portioned servings. Great way to know when enough is enough.ReplyDelete
Bear takes great shots..and I love Bear reading..ReplyDelete
Looks like a good place to keep in mind~
My friend Jerry introduced us to Picard several years ago when he returned to Michigan for Christmas and brought us some of their delicious mustard. Indeed, some of the best we'd had! When we visited last year he explained how he cooked from Picard quite often and whipped up amazing meals for us. We had to see for ourselves and weren't disappointed. I suspect the next time we visit Paris, Jerry won't be there, so I am glad for the reminder, as we'll probably do the apartment thing!ReplyDeleteReplies
Can I have Jerry's number?Delete
I'd love to know a few of his tricks too!
I knew it wouldn't be long before you had sussed out THE place to shop. Sounds like a good place to shop & impress your friends when you put on a gourmet meal !! It's a good job you have bear with you, then he can take all the blame for spying !! Have a good weekend.ReplyDelete
I shopped there once in 2009 .. as I was in Paris for 2 weeks , looking after a friends cats and the apartment ,, used the markets more .. but always handy.ReplyDeleteReplies
One can not do without the marche especially for strawbs, radi, asparagusDelete
I wish there was a Picard in the UK, it would be such a help as l can't stand for more than two minutes and l clicked on the name to have a search of there products and there was just lots of brilliant things. I don't eat any red meat like you and there's lots of fish products and the sushi looked so good. Salads were a delight to see as well. Tell them to think about coming to the UK there is nothing like it here.ReplyDelete

ah oui, je sais Picard! and a really clever aspect of Picard is that they have shopping carts lined with insulated padding so your food won't defrost while you shop! why can't American supermarkets taeka lesson?ReplyDelete
am trying to come up with a Grand Plan that might allow me to live in Paris for a year . . . aren't there any foundations that will pay to let someone do that just because she wants to??
Let me know when you find one.
But a year goes soooo fast don't ya know.
oh god. beam me over scottie!ReplyDelete
Vanilla ice cream with macadamia caramel?????ReplyDelete
I don't even like ice cream but I HAVE TO HAVE THAT.

I do not...
My impatience saved me yesterday from getting a caramel crepe at the jardin d'acclimation Bretagne fair ;))
Great post! I wandered around Picard a couple of times, but couldn't bring myself to buy frozen food in Paris...I'll try it next time for sure.ReplyDelete
And Bear is such a clever little bear. x Katie
Awesome that you posted on this. I love love love Picard. I think they need to roll it out in the US. High-quality frozen food for the single/couples only out there!! Can't wait to "make" some incredible meals with mon mari this summer! ;-)ReplyDelete
Yet another fantastic post. I knew of Picard last time, but never found a store- I will have to search harder next visit- I need that speculoos ice-cream.ReplyDeleteReplies

The Grand Budapest Hotel (R)
Cast: Saoirse Ronan, Ralph Fiennes, Edward Norton, Willem Dafoe
Release Date: March 7, 2014
Runtime: 1 hr. 40 mins.
Genre: Comedy, Drama
THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL recounts the adventures of Gustave H., a legendary concierge at a famous European hotel between the wars, and Zero Moustafa, the lobby boy who becomes his most trusted friend. The story involves the theft and recovery of a priceless Renaissance painting and the battle for an enormous family fortune -- all against the back-drop of a suddenly and dramatically changing Continent.Watch Trailer
You don't arrive at the Grand Budapest Hotel without your share of Wes Anderson baggage. Odds are, if you've booked a visit to this film, you've enjoyed your past trips to the Wes Indies (I promise I'll stop this extended metaphor soon), delighting especially in Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, and his most recent charmer Moonrise Kingdom. On the other hand, you could be the adventurous sort - a curious diplomat who never really got Anderson's uric-toned deadpan drudgings but can't resist browsing through the brochures of his latest European getaway. First off, neither community should worry about a bias in this review - I'm a Life Aquatic devotee, equally alienating to both sides. Second, neither community should be deterred by Andersonian expectations, be they sky high or subterranean, in planned Budapest excursions. No matter who you are, this movie will charm your dandy pants off and then some.
While GBH hangs tight to the filmmaker's recognizable style, the movie is a departure for Anderson in a number of ways. The first being plot: there is one. A doozy, too. We're accustomed to spending our Wes flicks peering into the stagnant souls of pensive man-children - or children-men (Moonrise) or fox-kits (guess) - whose journeys are confined primarily to the internal. But not long into Grand Budapest, we're on a bona fide adventure with one of the director's most attractive heroes to date: the didactic Gustave H. (Ralph Fiennes mastering sympathetic comedy better than anyone could have imagined he might), who invests his heart and soul into the titular hotel, an oasis of nobility in a decaying 1930s Europe. Gustave is plucked from his sadomasochistic nirvana overseeing every cog and sprocket in the mountaintop institution and thrust into a madcap caper - reminiscent of, and not accidentally, the Hollywood comedies of the era - involving murder, framing, art theft, jailbreak, love, sex, envy, secret societies, high speed chases... believe me, I haven't given half of it away. Along the way, we rope in a courageous baker (Saoirse Ronan), a dutiful attorney (Jeff Goldblum), a hotheaded socialite (Adrien Brody) and his psychopathic henchman (Willem Dafoe), and no shortage of Anderson regulars. The director proves just as adept at the large scale as he is at the small, delivering would-be cartoon high jinks with the same tangible life that you'd find in a Billy Wilder romp or one of the better Hope/Crosby Road to movies.
Anchoring the monkey business down to a recognizable planet Earth (without sacrificing an ounce of comedy) is the throughline of Gustave's budding friendship with his lobby boy, Zero (newcomer Tony Revolori, whose performance is an unprecedented and thrilling mixture of Wes Anderson stoicism and tempered humility), the only living being who appreciates the significance of the Grand Budapest as much as Gustave does. In joining these two oddballs on their quest beyond the parameters of FDA-approved doses of zany, we appreciate it, too: the significance of holding fast to something you believe in, understand, trust, and love in a world that makes less and less sense everyday. Anderson's World War II might not be as ostensibly hard-hitting as that to which modern cinema is accustomed, but there's a chilling, somber horror story lurking beneath the surface of Grand Budapest. Behind every side-splitting laugh, cookie cutter backdrop, and otherworldly antic, there is a pulsating dread that makes it all mean something. As vivid as the worlds of Rushmore, Tenenbaums, Fantastic Mr. Fox, and Moonrise might well have been, none have had this much weight and soul.
So it's astonishing that we're able to zip to and fro' every crevice of this haunting, misty Central Europe at top speeds, grins never waning as our hero Gustave delivers supernaturally articulate diatribes capped with physically startling profanity. So much of it is that delightfully odd, agonizingly devoted character, his unlikely camaraderie with the unflappably earnest young Zero, and his adherence to the magic that inhabits the Grand Budapest Hotel. There are few places like it on Earth, as we learn. There aren't many movies like it here either.

SIERRA VISTA, Ariz. Nearly 1,400 acres in Cochise County has become an experimental farm, substituting for parts of Africa where deserts, hot temperatures and little rainfall create agricultural challenges.
The only thing Arizona has, which most parts of Africa doesnt, is frost, said Howard Buffett, whose foundation has been working in different parts of the world to increase agricultural output. Hes the eldest son of billionaire investor Warren Buffett.
Noting that his foundations work is being done in 78 nations, of which 41 are in Africa, Buffett said the acreage near Willcox is a stand-in for other countries because of its similarities, which can be used to create theories and perform newer farming techniques. If successful, these techniques can be transferred to other areas around the globe.
Buffett said he was flying over southern Arizona, when he looked down from the airplane and saw Cochise County, where the landscape reminded him of similar places in Africa.
Willcox is the place you can both water-stress plants and drought-stress plants, which is what happens in large parts of the African continent, Buffett said.
When it comes to most African nations, they do not have anything similar to the United States, with land-grant colleges and associated agricultural research services, Buffett said.
He attended a groundbreaking ceremony for a new shooting range for the Cochise County Sheriffs Office, which he donated $900,000 for the facility.
The range will be named in honor of the late Sheriff Larry Dever, who proposed the idea to Buffett several years ago. Buffett also supports many law-enforcement projects through his foundation.
The Willcox property allows for center pivot, drip and furrow irrigation systems and allows for a better understanding of yield economics, Buffett said.
Having the Willcox experimental property allows him to spend more time in the United States and still go to Africa and elsewhere to find solutions to the food issue in different parts of the world, where a majority of farmers are involved in subsistence agriculture in order to feed themselves and their families.
Unlike the United States where about 10 percent of a persons money goes to purchasing groceries, in Africa it is between 60 and 70 percent, Buffett said.
A benefit that results from the Willcox property is that surplus items, like pinto beans, go to a food bank in Tucson.
Modernizing agriculture in other nations has to involve a sense of reality, according to Buffett.
How Americans farm, with heavy mechanized equipment, isnt how most farmers in Africa do things.
There, Buffett said animals pull plows and the majority of the seeding is by hand. On the Cochise County land there are two oxen used to test equipment that will be used in different parts of the world.
One project is trying to develop a new system to plant seeds at the same time the land is being plowed using the oxen. That idea is still a work in progress, Buffett said, adding two other ideas were unsuccessful.
Labor saving devices are as important as high-yielding crops when it comes to small farms, he said.
And being able to ensure the land is productive means finding ways to end centuries-old ways of farming, when the old ways remove the natural nutrients to the detriment of the soil, Buffett said.

23 years online - "vintage" reviews of RustyZipper.com dating back to 1996
"Ain't No Closet Deep Enough Depending on the crowd you hang with, the offerings at www.RustyZipper.Com might very well be construed as the beginnings of a very promising Halloween costume. Then again, there are those for whom bowling shirts, elisure suits and flared pants are high style. So long as you don't consider polyester the fashion equivalent of kryptonite, check out the site's 5,000 or so items; most date from the 1940s through '70s, though the feel is definitely more Bee Gees than Pointer Sisters. If you're always in persuit of that nexy shiny acetate disco shirt, welcome home." - Newsday, Oct 2000
"...more than 5,000 vintage items from the '40s through the '80s, and KingPoodle.com, which features discount vintage clothing -- nothing over $10 -- from the same eras. Both are the brainchildren of... Portland, OR. clothing collectors who decided to channel their passion into virtual stores." - At Home With Mary Engelbreit, September 2000
"Thousands of one-of-a-kind vintage-clothing items from the '40s through '70s. Check out sister site KingPoodle.com; you won't find anything over $10. Useless baubles for way cheap? Groovy"
