Sinulog, without a doubt, is one of the most well-attended and vibrant festivals in the country. People from all directions and all walks of life flock to this popular local fiesta in Cebu every year. There are also numerous devotees of Sto. Niño de Cebu who make it a point to include the Sinulog festival in their pilgrimage. Sto. Niño, after all, is the reason for the celebration.
When I was invited to fly to Cebu to experience the famed festival this year, I immediately grabbed the opportunity. My first Sinulog experience truly lived up to the hype.
It was tiring, but definitely satisfying because I got to meet the lovely people of Cebu, visit famous destinations in Cebu City—such as the The Pyramid, IT Park and Yacht Club—and eat delicious Cebuano cuisine (like their yummy chorizo and lechon).
The energy was electric even at the start of the festival. Cebuanos surely know how to party— the Cebuano crowd is definitely one for the books! I was in awe of their energy. Even well into the evening, there was no sign of people retiring. Everyone was just partying it up.
I even got to attend a party in the middle of the sea! I absolutely enjoyed looking at the expanse of water around us as we ate, danced, and mingled. The entire city seemed to be buzzing with Sinulog excitement.
One of the main highlights of the festival every year is the Sinulog Grand Parade. This year, the parade was a spectacle of colors and sounds. There were so many colorful floats. They came in all shapes and sizes, each one showcasing unique creativity and resourcefulness.
Some were adorned by famous brands, like the one built like a huge order of McDonald's French fries. Others carried movie and TV personalities who really amped up the energy of the crowd.
The grand display of costumes was also out of this world! Some dancers were on fire—literally! Somehow, they were able to put flames on top of their head, which really wowed the spectators. The parade, held on the last day of the festival, typically runs from nine to twelve hours! Talk about non-stop partying!
Two tips to survive it? Wear comfortable footwear (slippers would be ideal) and always hydrate.
During my Sinulog experience, I couldn't help but notice the religious nature of Cebuanos. It is their devotion to Sto. Niño that truly propels Sinulog. Despite the heat, the exhaustion, and the sheer number of people, they are motivated by the fact that they are paying homage to their patron. It is one of the things I definitely appreciate about Sinulog and the Filipino culture.
Given another chance to return to Cebu to attend Sinulog again, I would do it in a heartbeat—I'd want to experience the parties and the parade again. I'd recommend going to Sinulog at least once in your life. Once you get to Cebu during Sinulog, you'll definitely catch the fever!
Plan ahead for your own unforgettable journey to Sinulog Festival. Discover cheap Cebu City hotel deals and cheap flights from carriers like Philippine Airlines, AirAsia, and more with Traveloka!

So I'm out of control busy right now with real life, part of which involves looking over essays that have been entered in a campuswide competition for a scholarship in leadership. They've been culled by our Student Affairs professionals into 15 finalists. The finalists were all required to write a 750-word essay, and the theme (I know you're going to be shocked) is diversity. Specifically the applicants must describe an experience where they demonstrated leadership that affected or increased inclusivity in the campus community. Let's just say my "buddy" M. OWES ME.
When I got the essays, I was joking around with Hublet saying, "Let me guess. We'll have The Gay Experience, The Black Experience, The Frat Experience, The Female Experience, The Latin Experience and The Republican Experience."
Just call me Cassandra, people. But it doesn't take a Kreskin to predict Student Affairs types.
Thus far I have soldiered through 4 of the 15 essays. Sure enough, the first one I picked out of the pile was The Gay Experience, which included more acronyms than the entire product catalog of IBM. It doesn't help that the acronyms are undefined, or that the main one--which I do understand, by the way--is unfortunately reminiscent of a really tasty sandwich. As I read I kept getting distracted by mental images of bacon.
The next one was a little weirder, because it was totally vague about what, exactly, the diversity challenge was, but I finally figured out that it could probably be subtitled "A White Chick Discovers Black People," although the chick in question never mentioned any overt differences in anything. Perhaps she is too afraid to type the words African-American or Black, lest she be labeled racist? Who knows? I sure as hell don't. Although I must commend her--not since Umberto Eco have I read anything that oblique, with strange veiled references to "enemies" and "divergent life experiences." The hell?
The next essay was The Frat Experience; specifically A White Frat Boy Discovers All Sorts of Brown People and is Amazed! Amazed! That They Can All Drink Beer Together!
And finally, I got to The Republican Experience, wherein one hapless soul who helped found a chapter of the ACLU on campus was actually surprised and bummed out when said chapter was co-opted by the more radical lefty student groups on campus. It seems he got involved mainly to counter the banning of an off-campus drunken bash that the city council had passed ordinances against. So he helped found them, served his term and left the chapter--not exactly a stellar leadership experience, if you ask me, but the most clearly written essay so far.
What I've noticed about these essays thus far is that we have a whole bunch of really earnest kids trying desperately to give me what they think I want to hear, and so we end up with 750 words worth of platitudes about diversity, and very little about the leadership capabilities of these students. Why? I think it's because most of these kids look for leadership roles because they genuinely want to help out and give back, and that ideas about "diversity and inclusivity" don't figure into that--helping is helping, right? So when they're asked to expound upon diversity, they twist and pad their experiences with pull quotes from Warm Fuzzy-ville, and completely obscure their own actions.
And so I soldier on, trying to (literally, in some cases) read between the lines to divine what sorts of leaders these students might be.
On the bright side, I've discovered I don't miss grading freshman comp essays anymore!Posted by Big Arm Woman at September 30, 2005 02:50 PM
Mmmmmm - bacon!Posted by: Unknown Professor at September 30, 2005 08:38 PM
The problem is the requirement is stupid. Ask instead for troublemaker qualities.
I've never had leadership qualities in my entire life. Leadership qualities are what troublemakers are there to guard against.Posted by: Ron Hardin at September 30, 2005 11:20 PM
I am sad to see that so many kids lack enough self-respect to refuse to write those essays.
Ron, I had a discussion with my daughter about leadership earlier this month. She has just gone off to college for the first time and had a run-in with some RA's in her dorm, and discovered that the condition of having idiots in charge of her did not go away with her high school graduation. I told her that this revelation is the kind of thing that makes people like me, who would rather stick pencils in our ears, take leadership positions: it's the desire to see decisions made by somebody with some sense. And that she should think about it.Posted by: Laura at October 1, 2005 09:25 AM
The in-charge guarantees you get idiots. It's a permanent condition.
The troublemaker is the only protection.
There ought to be courses in troublemaking.
I was described in one memorable merit review as having negative leadership, which, when a leader says it, means undermining authority.
How hard is it to undermine an idiot? I posed that question.
Of course it helps if you're actually right about things. This is achieved by actually embracing the goals that the institution claims to live by.
Goffman described that subversive more in _Asylums_ a sociological analysis of mental institutions (as a model of society in general, with regard to how stands are taken against control, in particular total control).
I don't know that anybody would argue that institutions of higher learning today differ from mental institutions in the 60s.Posted by: Ron Hardin at October 1, 2005 10:51 AM
The problem is, the qualities that indicate effective leadership are qualities the Diversity Police are determined to eliminate from society. The best (well, most effective -- they can be evil) leaders tend to be domineering, focused types, and these types often are not into warm fuzzy things like making people feel all better about being "different" from someone else. Or if they are interested in this sort of thing, it's on the order of "how can I use this to effect my goal?" of being in charge and getting something done. Sociable, feeling-sensitive types also tend to end up as leaders, at least in our democratic, personality-driven system, but their techniques are not always as effective at getting things done -- though they are better at getting people to like them (c.f. Bill Clinton vs. George Bush).
Yeah, we had a behavior seminar at work recently, can you tell? It was actually kind of interesting.Posted by: Andrea Harris at October 1, 2005 02:56 PM

"I am sad to see that so many kids lack enough self-respect to refuse to write those essays."
No, they lack enough money to refuse to write those essays.Posted by: Michael at October 1, 2005 08:09 PM
Bravo! I think every college student eventually comes to realize that what he/she is being taught is mostly meaningless crap and that they and their parents have been the victims of a cruel hoax. The revelation happened for me in my Junior year.
I stuck it out, reluctantly, but the true leaders among the students probably drop out and move on at that point.Posted by: snopercod at October 2, 2005 01:52 PM
What my daughter is being taught would be mostly meaningless crap except that she's majoring in biology (pre-pharm). I really encouraged her to go into the sciences, and that's why. She had some terrific English courses in high school, and that will have to do, because her freshman English class is all about male-dominated blah blah. "You warned me," she said.Posted by: Laura at October 2, 2005 02:53 PM
and a side effect to the "meaningless crap"? The college students who buy into the idea that that is how college is "supposed" to be are so totally gobsmacked when they get to science classes and are actually expected to learn facts, and synthesize information, and write coherent sentences that are not entirely based on their opinions, that many of them cannot do it, or at the very least, complain bitterly about it.
I had a friend once get a comment (she taught a human biology class): "She expected us to know three different types of skin cells! That's totally unfair and TOO MUCH!!!!"
One thing I'm learning is that one of the best hallmarks of adulthood is realizing that most of the time, it's not all about you. Unfortunately, these kind of "The (insert whatever "marginalized" group here) Experience" essays only serve to reinforce the juvenile perspective that the individual writing should rightly be the center of the universe.Posted by: ricki at October 2, 2005 05:23 PM
Obviously *you* can write a coherent sentence ;-) Your piece was very good.
I have a question. I have always *thought* that higher education was intended teach young people the skills they would need to qualify for the "better" kinds of jobs out there - you know, the ones where you get to use your brain in air conditioned comfort rather using your arms and back out in the weather.
(Maybe that idea was a cruel hoax, too, I don't know any more.)
These days, schools are cranking out graduates who *can't* put together a coherent sentence, know nothing about the physical world in which they live (other than man is destroying the environment), but can talk for hours about "diversity".
...and these fresh graduates are "certified malleable". By spending four years eagerly consuming ideas which run contrary to the natural instincts of mankind, they have demonstrated that they will believe whatever they are told by an authority figure. (Sure boss, I see *five* lights if you say so.)
My question is this: "Is this the kind of worker the American job market demands for the 21st century?...or does our higher education industry no longer serve the needs of its customers."
...or maybe the customer of higher education is no longer the student.
Either way, what does this say about the future of America?Posted by: snopercod at October 3, 2005 07:48 AM
I teach history, and many of our students are stunned to realize they're expected to learn facts and be able to use them to form coherent essays. I'm sick to death of the "science is real education" mantra. Some of the best students I've had were English majors, and some of the worst were engineering majors. Vice versa, too. The common factor in the best students is a propensity for imaginative thought coupled with curiosity; the common factor in the worst students is a lack thereof. The major doesn't matter.
One other factor in academic: a willingness to work hard. Again, the major doesn't matter.Posted by: Michael at October 3, 2005 10:17 AM
I would say a perverse curiosity is the most important thing.
Pleasing academics of any kind isn't high on the list.
You can, in fact, read and take pleasure in the same authors as academics, and have no interest in common with them.
I put it down to the forces of institutionalization. It kills curiosity. Hence you need a pervese sort of curiosity.
Or, otherwise put, embrace the claimed goals but not the actual goals of the institution, and pay the price.
Posted by: Ron Hardin at October 3, 2005 12:20 PM
Ron, you're being unnecessarily dramatic.
I took a course in microbiology at the local State U last Spring. Some of the information in the lecture and the textbook seemed a little sketchy to me and I wasn't assimilating it as thoroughly as I wanted, and I was curious enough to look for supplemental information online and in some of my college textbooks that I kept from >20 years ago. My curiosity did result in my better understanding the material, and there was nothing perverse or uninstitutional about it; I received an A in the course.Posted by: Laura at October 3, 2005 01:35 PM
Same with me but I got F's.Posted by: Ron Hardin at October 3, 2005 02:37 PM
Two questions.
1) What were the ones culled by the SA professionals like? Better or worse? Are you onlyseeing those that the SA people think are worthwhile?
2) How can anyone say anything interesting, develop an argument or story in 750 words? That�s the size of a Krugman column which rather procves that point.

Blackboard Jungle Volume 2 ft Lee Perry and Jahdan Blakkamoore
Posted in Music on 02/11/2010 05:52 pm by snf
With collaborators including the dub legend Lee Perry, Jahdan Blakkamoore, Subatomic Sound System and Dubblestandart you know it's gonna be large. I wrote a while ago about the first episode in this collaboration and a video documenting the evolution of dub to dubstep and this is the second chapter. This one's been out for a bit but Subatomic recently made one of the tracks available for free download and I gotta pass that along. The second volume of Blackboard Jungle is a dutty dubstep refix of the original available in three versions on the release. Plus, the cover art is based on the classic Upsetters album "Super Ape" which is legendary.
If you're in the bay area check out the release party for this one this Sunday the 14th at Dub Mission. Rest of the world, click below to download the radio edit of this beast of a tune.

Invest your money wisely.
Share your profits generously.
Our Philosophy
We believe that a long term perspective is a prerequisite for investment success. We also believe that over the long term, a value approach to equity selection may exceed all other strategies. We do not believe in market timing or frequent re-allocation of client portfolios. On the contrary, we believe that a well conceived investment plan will withstand the test of time without the need for frequent changes.
We believe that bonds are for income and therefore attempt to structure fixed income portfolios using a short to intermediate term laddered approach. In most cases, we will limit our purchases of bonds to investment grade issues as defined by Moodys and/or Standard & Poors.
A laddered approach would involve investing equal dollar amounts maturing over a specific period of time. If rates rise, you will have monies coming due which can be re-invested at the new (and higher) rates. If rates stay stable, you will have a reasonable rate of return. If rates decline, you will have the majority of your monies locked in at more attractive rates.While this approach adds flexibility to a fixed income portfolio, it does not eliminate the risk of market value decline in times of rising interest rates.

The F-16s have left and the F-35s are scheduled to begin arriving in Vermont this fall. For about five months, this part of the country is left without the protection by the Air National Guard from incoming threats. Interesting. This brings up the question — was it necessary and crucial that the F-16s, and this fall, that the F-35s, need be based at the Burlington International Airport?
That question must be answered. And further, and more importantly, another crucial question must be answered — in light of the burgeoning national debt ($22 trillion and rising steadily) and the many costly manifestations of climate change, including making a speedy transition to a much-reduced fossil fuel economy, can this nation afford the continually increasing military budget?
There is increasing evidence that we cannot afford the increasing military budget. It is unsustainable. A 2018 study by the Watson Institute, International and Public Affairs, Brown University, calculated the war-related spending from FY2001 through FY2019 as $5 trillion. If the estimated future obligations for veterans medical and disability though FY2019 is added, the total is very nearly $6 trillion. These are huge numbers. The report concludes that the "… high costs in war and war-related spending pose a national security concern (emphasis added) because they are unsustainable."
The Pentagon itself, in a report issued in 2014, warned that climate change is a national security threat (emphasis added). Recent reports indicate that the threats are real and that the costs to cope with the threats just to U.S. military bases are significant.
All the naval bases will be, and are already being, affected by sea level rise. The National Naval Headquarters in Washington, D.C., is in the process of building a $20 million, 1.5 mile-long, 14-foot-tall seawall to protect three dozen buildings from flood waters.
"The Naval station Norfolk in Portsmouth, VA, the largest naval base in the world, already floods ten times a year when full moons cause especially high tides — sea levels there are one and a half feet higher than they were when the base was built in 1917, and rising twice as fast as average global sea levels. By 2050, Norfolk is expected to flood 280 times a year," according to a Columbia University Earth Institute article.
Inland military bases are also threatened and will be increasingly at risk. For example, in March, the Offutt Air Force, Camp Ashland Base in Nebraska was severely flooded and entirely shut down. The base flooded despite updated infrastructure following catastrophic flooding in May 2015.
Considering these national security threats, the costs of the national debt, the costs of coping with climate change, a third question arises — how did our country get itself into this situation? To me, it is quite clear Congress has not been doing its job.
On Sept. 18, 2001, Congress passed legislation to authorize the military to essentially go to war in (not necessarily, against) any country in the world if the president designates an organization in that country as terrorist. This legislation is called Authorization for the Use of Military Force (AUMF). Now, drone strikes and military operations are ongoing and increasing in at least seven countries on the OK of the president. Congress continually increases the military budget year after year without a full audit until last year, much less determining if the military expenditures are effective.
This brings us back home to the issue of the F-35s coming to Burlington. Early this year, with the full support of the organization that I lead, I sent letters to Sens. Leahy and Sanders and to Rep. Welch that posed a number of questions, including the need for basing the F-35s in Burlington, and requested meeting with them. In March, six of our chapter members met with Sen. Leahy's staff in Burlington and we had a teleconference with Rep. Welch. So far, we have been unable to schedule a meeting with Sen. Sanders or his staff.
In sum, the Vermont congressional delegation seems to remain firm in its decision to support the F-35s coming to Burlington. When asked about the jets' nuclear capability and its potential impact on Vermont, Sen. Leahy and Rep. Welch replied that nuclear weapons would not be part of the F-35 mission and that nuclear bombs would not be stored in Burlington.
A National Guard spokesman said on VPR's Vermont Edition on Friday, April 12, "the policy of the military is neither to confirm nor deny the existence of nuclear bombs (or capability) at a particular site." Given the military's policy of secrecy, we'll never know if nuclear bombs are located at Burlington International Airport or if the F-35s have been made nuclear bomb capable.
As I recall, one of the main considerations of the Vermont congressional delegation advocating for the F-35s coming to Burlington was jobs and giving a boost to Vermont's economy. Well, there is more to it than just jobs, per se, it's what kind of jobs.
Much has changed in the decade since our congressional delegation supported (and lobbied) for the basing of the F-35s in Burlington. It is time for Congress to recognize the fast developing global events and to change its priority from military spending to finding and supporting the means to cope with climate change and to strengthen our democracy.
Between now and October, when the F-35s are scheduled to arrive, there is time for our congressional delegation to deal with the tip of the iceberg and to stop the Vermont Air National Guard mission of basing the F-35s in Burlington. I hope that our congressional delegation will make a concerted effort to do so. I hope, also, that they will work with their colleagues in Congress to tackle the rest of the iceberg, the huge national and global issues, without delay.

Microencapsulation involves surrounding cells with a thin, spherical, semipermeable polymer film.[8] The small size, thin wall, and spherical shape of microcapsules are structurally optimal for diffusion, cell viability, and release kinetics. The material components of microcapsules vary from polysaccharides to thermoplastics. There are potential benefits associated with each choice; however, during the manufacture of certain thermoplastic cell-encapsulated systems, exposure to organic solvents is not easily avoided and is a potential viability risk. Thus, work has primarily focused on the polyelectrolytes, which are nontoxic during processing but are generally mechanically fragile and chemically unstable, as well as difficult to retrieve. For the polyelectrolytes, microcapsule membranes are formed by ionic or hydrogen bonds between two weak polyelectrolytes with opposite charges. Microcapsules can be prepared by gelling droplets of a polyanion/cellular suspension (e.g., alginate) in a mixing divalent cationic bath, which immobilizes the cells in a negatively charged matrix, and then coating the immobilized cells with a thin film of a polycation, such as poly (L-lysine). The poly(L-lysine)-alginate bond creates a permselective membrane whose molecular mass cutoff is on the order of 30,000-70,000 Da. Because poly(L-lysine) is not biocompatible, a second layer of alginate is generally added to the capsule surface. Alternatively, polyanions such as polyornithine have greater reactivity during capsule formation and are biocompatible. Poly-electrolyte-based techniques avoid organic solvents, and, with proper permeability control, microcapsules represent a very effective configuration for cell viability and neurochemical diffusion.
Getting Started With Dumbbells
The use of dumbbells gives you a much more comprehensive strengthening effect because the workout engages your stabilizer muscles, in addition to the muscle you may be pin-pointing. Without all of the belts and artificial stabilizers of a machine, you also engage your core muscles, which are your body's natural stabilizers.

This is SA's word of the year
The Pan SA Language Board, together with media-research firms Focal Points and Newsclip, has chosen 'land expropriation without compensation' as SA's word of the year
1. Mouthful of the year
The Pan SA Language Board, together with media-research firms Focal Points and Newsclip, has chosen "land expropriation without compensation" as SA's word of the year, which it defines as "a word or term that was used most frequently in the country's print, online and broadcast media". Last year, "state capture" beat "white monopoly capital" and "blesser" to the title. The word of the year must be one that reflects the passing year.
2. Sauce for the gander
The UK Law Commission is deciding whether to broaden the ambit of hate crimes to include hostility to men and the elderly. Hate crimes are offences motivated by prejudice based on disability, race, religion, sexual orientation or transgender identity. It was earlier announced that the commission would look at whether offences driven by misogyny — contempt for women — should be treated as hate crimes. Now misandry, or hostility towards men, will also be considered. Hate crimes are considered as aggravated offences, which means they can attract longer prison sentences than similar crimes not motivated by hate.
3. Anyone can watch
One of the world's most striking paintings, Rembrandt's The Night Watch, is to be restored at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, reports The Guardian. The museum's director, Taco Dibbits, said the public will be invited to watch the process, both from the gallery and via an internet livestream. It is believed to be the biggest undertaking of its kind and is expected to take several years and cost millions of euros. Completed in 1642 at the height of the Dutch Golden Age, The Night Watch was commissioned by the leader of the civic guard of Amsterdam. The painting, which measures 3.63m by 4.37m, was last restored in 1975, after a Dutch teacher slashed it with a bread knife.

Through three decades, Lori Zaret has experienced all areas of the human relations profession including talent acquisition, employee relations, compensation and benefits design and administration, performance management and organizational effectiveness.
She received a bachelor of science degree in bilingual social work and certification as a senior professional in human resources from the Society of Human Resources Management.
She says the HR profession is shifting from a tactical, compliance and risk focus to a strategic business focus as a result of new technology, outsourcing of basic functions such as payroll and benefit administration and the need for deeper, more specialized knowledge. New recruiting platforms and social media are changing the way people are hired, self-serve capabilities are changing the way employees manage their pay and benefits and tech-savvy millennials are driving a bottom-up approach to adopting new tools and applications.
"The HR professional of the future will be a strategic thinker bringing broader insights to the leadership team that will drive business strategies and results," she said.
PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND: Since discovering the field of Human Resources 30 years ago my career has navigated through all areas of HR including Talent Acquisition, Employee Relations, Compensation and Benefits design and administration, Performance Management, Career and Leadership Development, and Organization Effectiveness. My industry experience ranges from the insurance industry to telecommunications and ultimately landed me in financial services/banking.
EDUCATION: Bachelors of Science from the University of Connecticut in Bilingual Social Work, postgraduate studies at the University of Sevilla in Spain, Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR) certification from the Society of Human Resources Management.
Exchange Bank is a great place for me because my personal values mirror the core values of our organization: Integrity, Commitment, Respect and Teamwork. People come to Exchange Bank and stay at Exchange Bank because of the strong comradery that exists; we are dedicated to serving our customers and also encouraged to support our community. There is an expression that I try to live by and that I believe reflects what Exchange Bank means to Sonoma County: "Say little and do much". Although you don't see it in our advertisements or hear us boast about it, we give our time, our talent and our treasury to support the needs in Sonoma County, helping nonprofits, providing funding for scholarships and giving countless hours volunteering and serving on Boards to make our community a great place to live and work. Exchange Bank does so much, and I am honored to have the opportunity to be a part of it.
This year, I led an initiative that made Exchange Bank the first financial institution in the North Bay to become a Heartsafe Business by installing defibrillators (AEDs) in most of its locations and training the majority of our 400-plus employees in CPR. Eight years ago, at age 48 my husband had a major heart attack which took his life. Had there been an AED available supported by someone to provide CPR, he might have survived. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S. and Sonoma County, and by making AEDs readily accessible we can protect the lives of our customers, employees and the community.

Zidane Dominates Press Front Pages
Madrid, Following confirmation that Zinedine
Zidane has returned to Real Madrid as coach, signing a contract until
2022, the Frenchman faced the press.
Surrounded by club legends and former teammates, including
Raul and Roberto Carlos, he was joined by the board of directors and
his wife Veronique.
"It's a new project, an exciting new era with one of our great symbols
leading, Zinedine Zidane," club president Florentino Perez began.
"The best coach in the world is here, thank you Zizou for your loyalty
and forming part of this legendary club."
The newly appointed coach then had his turn, revealing his
emotions on a day which few expected to come so soon.
"I know it's a special day, for everyone, I'm very happy, which is the
most important thing, as the president said, I'm very happy to return
home," Zidane explained.
"There's nothing to say, I'm very happy to return and I want to work and
put the club where it deserves to be, for now I'm focused on training
Zidane has not been far away from the Estadio Santiago
Bernabeu even though he left last summer.
"I didn't go very far, because I still live here, but I'm happy to work for
this club and this squad, above all," he added.
However, there were also inevitable questions about what had
changed in the past months.
"I left the club because I needed it, not the time for the club, but the
squad needed it after winning it all," he said.
"This club is what it has and it had to change.
"I've come back because the president called me and as I love the
president and the club, I'm here.
"After eight months, I want to coach again, I took this decision for the
good of everyone, we had to make a change."
He admitted that it was a big responsibility to take up the role
though hinting that he did take some convincing.
"It's a big responsibility, when I look at the players I see people who
love this club and I'm another one," he confessed.
"I like football, I played with this badge and this shirt, but I'm just
another one.
"Now what I want to do, I don't forget what we won but also what we
did badly, or last year, we lost the league and the cup but won the
Champions League.
"Life is like that, good things and bad."
Facing the future, it looks like Zidane could plan to make
"It's a great challenge, not because it's the second time, but that too,"
he admitted.
"I don't think about the past, if I did I wouldn't have returned.
"It goes beyond returning to the club, I want to take the reigns on this
second project, I want to coach again.
"I'm not thinking about signings, I'm thinking it's an important day and
I'm happy to return.
"I'm only thinking about the 11 games left.
"There will be time to look at the rest with the relevant people, what's
clear is that we will plan for next season."
One key absence, who some say is yet to be replaced, is the
exit of Cristiano Ronaldo.
"It's not the topic, the topic is that there are 11 games left, you know
what Cristiano is, the history of this club, which no-one will change, he
was the best, but he's not the topic," he insisted.
Still, the coach was adamant that he had returned at the perfect
time despite having been approached by other clubs.
"I had a number of offers, but I didn't want to go to other clubs, we
have to finish this season well and prepare well for the next one," he
Zidane admitted to having rested well over his break and is now
raring to go with the same team of coaches after receiving the call.
"The president called me, I can't say no to him, after what happened,
he knows, what happens to players, coaches, what happens inside
when you lose form, this year it's happened to us," he analysed.
"I was a coach and it happened to me.
"I want to be with them, I have seen this season, the players are the
first who know it's a difficult season, but you can't always do things
well and always win."
Regarding the situations of some specific players, such as Isco,
Marcelo and Gareth Bale, Zidane would not be drawn.
"I won't get involved with what happened with one or the other," he
responded. "I want to get back with them, work and do things well on
Zidane's new era will begin against Celta Vigo next Saturday, the
Spanish MARCA newspaper reported.

Quality & Service
All of our Replacement Windows, Doors and Porches are made to measure
to ensure a perfect fit and a long life of trouble free service.
After all, we guarantee everything, so if there is ever a problem,
it is our problem!
Our policy is to take great care in all aspects of carrying out
the work, from the detailed measurements taken by one of our qualified
surveyors and accurate, careful manufacturing, through to the professionally
fitted, final finished job. We double check everything along the
way to ensure that the Windows and Doors that you ordered are what
you get and that they look good and perform well.
Quality is paramount. We are very careful. But we're not perfect!
If we do have a problem at any stage of the process, then we put
it right, quietly, quickly and with a minimum of fuss. We won't
'cut corners' or 'bodge it in' or in any way attempt to hide a mistake.
The real test of a Company is not when everything goes right, but
when something goes wrong!
The following is a good example; the job looked straightforward
but an unusual method of original construction meant that our surveyor
could not tell what was hidden behind the existing door and windows.
When we started the work on site and revealed the original construction,
it became obvious that new lintels would be required, a very costly
addition to the work.
This is what our Customer experienced:
That, we believe, is the real test of a Company.
Due to our compact Operational Area we are able to respond to service
requests very quickly, usually within a few days. Service requests
are accepted and booked by telephone and are free of charge during
the guarantee period. Calls are booked on a geographical "service
run" basis on a weekly rotation. This means that under normal conditions,
for non-urgent minor problems, you can expect to be offered an AM
or PM weekday appointment within 2 weeks.
In the event of a major problem, such as the window becoming a security
risk, we will genuinely make every effort to attend within 24 hours.
If we are unable to offer a reasonable response time then, subject
to the terms of the guarantee, the Customer shall be entitled to
instruct another contractor to carry out emergency repairs and 1st

text: Released just four months after their debut album, This Is The Modern World firmly placed The Jam at the forefront of the mod revival. For the album cover, rock photographer Gered Mankowitz, who'd shot iconic images of 60s legends such as The Rolling Stones and Jimi Hendrix, captured the group standing underneath the Westway flyover: an iconic stretch of the A40 in west London, which has since become synonymous with punk firebrands The Clash. Bill Smith, early artwork designer for The Jam, had the group pose with the brutalist architecture visible in the background, in a nod to the Situationist art movement that existed from the late 50s to early 70s. Jam frontman Paul Weller included a tribute of his own, adorning his jumper with gaffer tape shaped into arrows, in homage to Pete Townshend, The Who guitarist and mod icon, who had been photographed sporting the symbol on his own clothing.

Seasons Greetings!
But there's no reason why I can't continue to learn the Hawaiian language as I study Turkish, or to play the 'ukulele while I learn about the saz, a traditional stringed instrument played in Turkey.
But today my message is not a Turkish/Hawaiian mix, rather an Oregonian/Hawaiian mix. Pictured here are the Christmas shortbread cookies that I baked, frosted -- and ate. Yum!
As you can see, I had two themes in mind. There's the Christmas tree, looking very much like a Douglas fir. And there's an Oregon state map, complete with a heart. My daughter bought me this cookie cutter last summer at the gift shop in Oregon's Capitol in Salem.
But when I was last in Hawaii, in early October, I visited the Christmas shop at the Outrigger Reef in Waikiki. I bought four Hawaiian-themed cookie cutters: a honu, a mano, a palm tree and a pineapple. I chose just to use the two animals for my cookies. It's one way to bring 'aumakua, spirit animals, to life.

What's with all the pigeons?
|Pigeons on Waikiki Beach
I had noticed the pigeon population on earlier trips to Honolulu, but when I was staying last week at the Outrigger Waikiki I saw a photo which made me wonder who brought pigeons to O'ahu in the first place. The photo was of the Outrigger hotel chain's founder, the late Roy Kelley. His arms were full of white pigeons, the kind that are most prevalent in Waikiki. The caption noted that these were his "beloved pigeons."
Was Kelley the pigeon lover who introduced the now ubiquitous birds to Waikiki?
Not even close. I learned that pigeons first started strutting along Hawaii's beaches in the late 1700's, when Kamehameha was first rising to prominence on the island of Hawai'i.
|White Kings roosting in a banyan tree
That accounts for the gray ones, but what about the white ones? They're everywhere. Known as White Kings, they're prized by pigeon fanciers. They are also prized for their meat and raised as squab.
Menus from 'Iolani Palace when Kalakaua was king (1874-1891) show that a popular tidbit at state dinners was pigeon on toast. Kalakaua was a man of prodigious appetites, but he also was a lover of beauty and nature. He loved birds and had his own exotic bird collection, located where the Honolulu Zoo is now.
In a 2004 article in the Honolulu Advertiser, a columnist tackled the subject of Waikiki's pigeons. He unearthed the fact that someone named S.Y. Chun brought four pairs of White Kings from Canada in 1876 for the dedication of the Kapi'olani Bird Park, which originated as Kalakaua's personal bird collection.
I found other articles about how the city of Honolulu has over the years tried to control the pigeon population, even by feeding the birds birth control grain. The fact is, plenty of other people feed them and accept them as part of the landscape. Whether you regard pigeons as flying rats or as doves of peace and beauty, they're in Waikiki to stay.

It's Kava Time!
Due to popular demand (well, one person), I'm breathing new life into my blog after months of neglect.
I'm embarrassed that I even failed to remark on the death of the subject of my last post, Herb Kane. He died March 8, 2011, about eight months after my interview. So alas, I never got to collect on his kind offer of an adult beverage served on his lanai. But I was lucky to have a long phone conversation with the legendary artist, whose paintings grace so many rooms throughout the Hawaiian Islands.
Today, on the first day of the new year, I decided to start things out in a mellow manner by reporting on my visit to Portland's first and only kava bar, Bula Kava House. This was not my first experience with the tranquility-inducing drink, made from the powdered root of the kava, or 'awa, plant. I wrote a blog post about imbibing kava from a coconut shell at Portland State University's lu'au in May 2009. After sampling kava, I didn't mind a bit that the dancing part of the program kept getting delayed. I had all the time in the world.
At Bula, I was served by Jamie Campa, the bartender, or shell tender. I had my choice of two varieties of kava: borogu, which is spicy and energizing ($3.50 per shell); and fu'u, which is more potent and would leave me feeling really mellow ($3.75). I chose fu'u and Jamie ladled the brown liquid from a large glass container into a half coconut shell.
Jamie didn't want me to have to drink alone. After all, kava is a social libation. So she poured a shell for herself and led me through the proper ritual.
Before drinking, we each clapped once. That action would invite positive energy and even friendly ancestors to witness our imbibing. We lifted the shells to our lips and drank without stopping, until the shells were empty. Then we each clapped our hands twice, dispelling any bad energy that managed to sneak in. Finally, we each ate a chunk of fresh pineapple to refresh our palates.
I felt the effects of the kava almost immediately. My lips began to tingle. Warmth spread down my limbs and through my body. I felt -- yeah, real mellow. And I still do.
Jamie told me that although kava's physiological effects are obvious, we were certainly not intoxicated. "There's no foggy thinking, no poor judgment," she informed me. She said I'd feel relaxed, perhaps a tad euphoric. As for her, she said kava makes her feel meditative.
In fact, she said kava is an effective hangover cure. She was surprised there weren't more customers on New Year's Day.
Bula is a multi-purpose word like aloha. In Fijian it means cheers, hello and goodbye. Bula Kava House fits in snugly with some of the hip new eateries on Division Street, including Wafu and Sunshine Tavern. Jamie says the place is hopping every Thursday night, when there's live music, and the first Friday of each month, which is open mic night.
It's an attractive space, with Polynesian masks and local art on the walls. There's even a small library of books about the featured beverage. Titles include "Kava: Nature's Relaxant," "The Pacific Elixir" and "Hawaiian 'Awa: Views of an Ethnobotanical Treasure."
