Coordination: Jon Otamendi
harriak: "zena eta dena" exhibition
November 4th – December 2nd 2017 in the old prison in Markina-Xemein (Biscay).
Text by Oier Iruretagoiena: Zena eta dena, PDF [546KB]
Opening and guided visit with the curator and artists: November 4th, at 12:30.
Public transport Bilbao-Markina-Bilbao.
Public transport San Sebastián-Ondarroa-Markina
Sound installation by Gerard Ortín Castellví: December 2nd, 12:00-20:00h in the hermitage of Arretxinaga.
The old prison was built in 1912 and operated as such until the 1970s. Its walls are covered with prisoners' graffiti, including names, dates and drawings. It is now empty, but has been used from time to time for cultural events.
It is thought that the hermitage of Arretxinaga was an old pagan site which was later Christianised. Now, at a time when few masses are held there, it is being given a new lease of life as a cultural venue.
Both sites have a strong character and show many traces of their history. The prison exhibition and the event in the hermitage start from an attempt to unite with the places themselves and to build something related to them, juxtaposing new elements with what is already there.
Every time we create unions, each element makes the others stand out, or directs our attention towards details which wouldn't be noticed any other way.
What was, and what we bring, will coexist for one month.
Participating in the exhibition: Ignacio García Sánchez, Gabriele Muguruza Goenaga and Paula Prieto Fernández de Velasco
Project curated by Oier Iruretagoiena Arregi.
Opening times:
Saturday to Sunday, 12:00–15:00
For visits Monday to Friday, please make a booking in advance with Uhagon Kulturgunea by calling 946 166 303 or emailing firstname.lastname@example.com

There are few experiences in life that act as true rites of passage: Learning to ride a bicycle or drive a car, or that first kiss with that special post-pubescent someone. Then there's virginity, both the kind that gets lost in between the sheets and the kind that takes place between one newcomer, several thousand fans and one or two bands. In this reporter's case, the deflowering took place Saturday at the Woodlands Pavilion with Widespread Panic and the Allman Brothers. Could there be a better first-time experience with these musical lovers than the gentle yet ballsy bass work of Dave Schools? Don't bother responding, the answer is simply "no." Opening up their first Houston show in almost a year with "Let's Get Down To Business," a blend of Southern rock with just the necessary amount of progressive edge, this is indeed what Widespread Panic intended to do. Along with "Party At Your Mama's House" and "Tall Boy, " it was easy to hear the fusing of jazz and blues in their musical vernacular, with a consistently powerful usage of melody and tone. The surrounding crowd responded as expected, raising half-empty beer cups and lighting up for the night's first toke of many. Apparently, something about jam-band music simply makes some women go nuts. And when the chords of the Grateful Dead's "Ribs and Whiskey" where struck, the sexy moves of one drunken, cowboy-boot-clad woman seemed to express the sentiment of the entire crowd. The guitar capabilities of Panic's John Bell began to seem endless at this point. One of jam's best elements is that no show will be played like the previous one, or any other; what the audience is hearing is straight improv making them the first, and only to hear what that musicians are doing on that night. This grew even clearer when the Allmans' Warren Haynes joined Panic for Neil Young's "Cortez the Killer" and Warren Zevon's "Lawyers, Guns and Money." After Panic closed with "Henry Parsons Died," it seemed Saturday could not be topped off any more. First-time exposure to a band at the height of its two-decades-strong powers, and overhearing a disgusted security officer retell the story of busting a man pissing on his girlfriend? How could it get any better? But what would this review be if it ended there? No, just when our mind and knees thought they could take the stereotypical cigarette break, the Allman Brothers Band took the stage. Though their line up has seen so many changes over the years - only Gregg Allman, Butch Trucks and Jai Johanny "Jaimoe" Johanson remain - their sound remains the same. Fitting opener "Revival" set the mood for the Allmans' two-hour set. Lead guitarist Derek Trucks played dynamically throughout this song and the entire show, showing what music can do when exposed to a child at an early age. Not to say that every child will grow up to play guitar like Butch's nephew, but the dream can still be there. The best moments, however, came in the calmer times. On "You Don't Love Me" and "Black Hearted Woman," the guitars would go to this rhythmic place located right next to the heart of the blues that made hips begin to sway all by themselves. Feet would start tapping to the accompanying drums, and just before the senses could get use to this, Trucks would take a solo and bring the rhythm back to good, clean rock music. During the Allman Brothers' set, members of Widespread didn't hesitate to take the stage. Both John Bell and Sunny Ortiz came onstage for covers of Dr.John's "Walk On Gilded Splinters" and more Dead, this time "Franklin's Tower," which paved the way for Schools to come out and add a nice touch to "Dreams." The night ended in a manner tantamount to the musical equivalent of cuddling, with all members of both bands onstage for an encore of "Southbound." At this point, it was easy to tell neither group's music would amount to anything without the members' musicianship and inventiveness that holds it together. Jam music transcends all genres - listeners' ears can hear rock one moment, gospel the next and have it all end up with a drum beat now commonly heard in hip-hop. Improvising in all these styles, and doing it night after night after night, deserves more accolade than this one article can give. In the end, the only thing that comes to mind is "Was it a good night for you too, baby?" For our part, Aftermath will never forget our first time with either one.

The Greatest Dog2
August 1, 2017 by imhavingadadday
I was 19 when I adopted my big boy. Growing up with dogs put a soft spot in my heart from an early age, and when I moved away for college, getting a dog seemed like something I needed to do. For whatever reason, I was set on getting a big male dog. Something about being able to squeeze and lay all over something large, soft and furry is the greatest therapy that exists, and I really missed that from back home. A friend of mine had come across this family that lived out in the country who had a lot of land and had turned a good portion of it into a home for both strays and rescues from the pound. So, I decided to drive out there and take a look.
I get to the house and park in the circular, gravel driveway. The house is completely isolated, with nothing but farm land surrounding it: no neighbors within eyesight's distance. Looking out towards the back of the house, there are around twenty or so dogs quickly approaching to greet me, and behind them was a long row of individual enclosures all housing additional groups of dogs.
I step out of the car, and the dogs immediately surround me; all breeds, ages, and sizes, tails wagging and all trying to get a sniff. A man, who looks eerily like the actor Anthony Hopkins, meets me out in the driveway, says hello and asks me if I am looking to adopt, and if so, am I looking for anything specific. So I tell him, "I'm really trying to find a big boy dog. Do you have any here?". He told me that he didn't have any that were big yet, but he had a little lab mix with massive paws; a telltale sign of how big a dog will get later on.
We make our way through the group of dogs back towards the enclosure area. There was an entry fence, and then a long dirt walkway which had tarp-covered enclosures on either side of it. As we were walking through, every dog in there was yelping and pawing at the fence. If they could speak they would have been screaming at me to play with them and take them home. We get about half way down the walkway and the man says, "Well, there he is…". I look into the enclosure, and I see two small dogs playing with each other, three food bowls, and a dog house with a good size hole dug out underneath it. Now I'm thinking, "He said there was a boy lab mix with giant paws….I don't see any pupp….oooh wait a second…what's under that dog house…" And there he was. The skinniest, boniest, most precious puppy I had ever seen. I had to get nearly on the ground to get a good look at him, and while all the other dogs all around me were going nuts, this puppy just lay there, hiding under the dog house with his face between his front legs. He was three months old, 32 lbs of skin and bones, and had massive paws that haven't grown a bit in over 9 years.
I named him "Tank," and did he ever live up to his name. Nearly 10 years later, Tank is 130 pounds and is the most unique and loving dog with incredibly peculiar habits. He refuses most human food, and wants nothing more than a shoulder rub and to be with his humans (and his best in-house dog friend, Bella). Tank has become a wonderful companion/pillow/teddy bear for my now 16-month-old daughter, and is so incredibly passive, gentle, and kind to her. I'd like to think that other families out there have been blessed with a friend like Tank, but I'm just not sure it's possible. He is a one of a kind, and we are the luckiest people alive to have found him. Tank found himself at the adoption house after his previous owner left him abandoned in a cardboard box. If the person who did that happens to come across this post, you're heartless, but thank you. And if the family that brought him in and allowed me to adopt him sees this post, you're amazing, and thank you!!

A group of professionals in the audiovisual sector has known today first hand the locations and possibilities offered by Benidorm as a set, through a 'fam trip' organized by the Visit Benidorm Foundation with the collaboration of the Benidorm Film Office.
All participants in this initiative are linked to the Association of Professionals in Audiovisual Production (APPA). The head of the Benidorm Film Office (BFO), Rosa Llorca, and the technician of Marketing and Promotion of Visit Benidorm, Carola Valls, have shown 'in situ' to these professionals the most emblematic and recognizable spaces of the city, but also others less known but with much audiovisual potential. In addition, they have explained the reasons that make Benidorm an authentic 'film friendly' city, such as the climate, the connection with the airport and the AVE station, the offer of accommodation and leisure, personal treatment, and the quick response that is given to the needs of the producers. These actions give rise to numerous proposals, many of which end up materializing.

How Identity Providers can show custom error messages in CardSpace
Wouldn't you like to show your users a custom error message instead of this generic one?
Now you can with the latest .Net Framework 3.5 release (Beta 2 as of this blog). Your Identity Provider can simply return a SOAP fault and CardSpace will display the Fault Reason Text. This feature is great because it enables you to present the user with help and support information such as phone numbers or URLs. Your error message can now look like this:
Your fault reason text can also be language specific. CardSpace will display the correct fault reason text based on the UI locale.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the format of a SOAP message?
<s:Envelope xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing" xmlns:s="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">
<a:Action s:mustUnderstand="1">http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing/soap/fault</a:Action>
<s:Text xml:lang="en"> In English …</</s:Text>
<s:Text xml:lang="es-ES">In Spanish …</s:Text>
Note that this SOAP message must be secured just like a typical application message. That is, it must contain the necessary Security headers (with all the necessary signature and encryption requirements based on the binding). CardSpace will only display secured fault messages. It will not display unsecured fault messages.
Can I present rich HTML information?
CardSpace will only display plain text messages.
How do I return a custom error message with WCF?
Your code snippet will look something like this:
using System.ServiceModel;
FaultReasonText defaultMessage = new FaultReasonText(@"Our record on file shows that you are not authorized to use this service. If you have forgotten your user name or your password, please visit
http://www.contoso.com/help for further assistance.
You can also call (123) 456-7890 to speak with one of our customer care representatives.", "en");
FaultReason reason = new FaultReason(defaultMessage);
throw new FaultException(reason);
The FaultReasonText has constructors that take the culture info (see http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.servicemodel.faultreasontext.faultreasontext.aspx). The list of culture names is documented at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.globalization.cultureinfo.aspx. You can even do something like this:
FaultReasonText defaultMessage = new FaultReasonText(@"The default error message", "en");
FaultReasonText spanish = new FaultReasonText("(In Spanish) Español", "es-ES");
List<FaultReasonText> reasonInDifferentLanguages = new List<FaultReasonText>();
FaultReason reason = new FaultReason(reasonInDifferentLanguages);
throw new FaultException(reason);
There are a few caveats. Due to the way the WCF channel stack processes a SOAP message; the fault message will be sent as a secured fault message if you throw the FaultException in the following places:
1. Within the code path of ServiceAuthorizationManager.CheckAccessCore
2. Within the code path of the Identity Provider's Issue operation.
If you want to show a friendly error message due to authentication failures, the above steps is not sufficient because the WCF channel stack will send back the exception as an unsecured fault message. Since CardSpace only displays secured fault messages, the user will not see the friendly message that you have sent back. Instead the user will see the generic version.
The workaround is to use the security extensibility points in WCF to delay throwing an exception until the WCF channel stack calls into the ServiceAuthorizationManager.CheckAccessCore. The steps below use the UserNamePasswordValidator as an example; the same principle applies to other types of validation as well:
1. Implement a custom UserNamePasswordValidator to validate the user name and password.
2. Implement a custom UserNameSecurityTokenAuthenticator to call your custom UserNamePasswordValidator. If the user name and password validation succeeds, return a custom IAuthorizationPolicy that will pull in other claims permitted for this user. If the password validation fails, return an invalid authorization policy. The job of this invalid authorization policy is to insert an "invalidusernamepassword" claim when called upon.
3. Implement a custom ServiceAuthorizationManager to check for the "invalidusernamepassword" claim in the AuthorizationContext. If it exists, throw your friendly FaultException message. If it does not exist, you can check the other claims to grant /deny access.
4. Wire up these customizations by implementing a custom ServiceCredentialsSecurityTokenManager and a custom ServiceCredentials. Then replace the ServiceCredentials on ServiceHost with the custom one.
For further details regarding the above (including code samples), do visit these resources:
· Govind's blog on plugging in a custom UserNamePasswordAuthenticator. Govind's office, by the way, is on the same floor as mine. It was really convenient for me to walk over and ask him questions about how the security layer works in the WCF channel stack J.
· MSDN article on Custom Security Token Authenticator
· How to create a custom Service Credentials
Is there a sample I can play around with?
Brian on our team is working on samples right now. He'll post it once the samples are ready.
Cool new feature, isn't it. Do let us know how else we can help you build a better Identity solution.

|Stuart, FL
Print Leave a comment
Kiwanis Youth Park in Stuart has an amazing accessible playground with unusual play equipment. There is a roller tunnel, accessible seesaw, airplane bouncy, modern seesaw, plastic dome to peek through, and roller slide. On the other side of the park there is a bright yellow, red, and blue submarine playground for toddlers. They can climb into a long tunnel. It's fun!
There is also a wooden car to drive, and a dinosaur bouncy for two. A dolphin bouncy adds to the fun. A third area has plenty of swings, a tire swing, a metal dome climby, and a medium-sized big kids playground. There are plenty of benches in the shade where parents can sit, plus large shade pavilions. White sand dotted with many leaves is below the play equipment on one side, and spongy rubber on the other. A fence covered in jasmine and tropical flowers surrounds the park. This area feels slightly industrial but it's just a short walk to downtown Stuart and a fun park to play at!

I am not a Member of IBM yet, but I am thinking about joining a local ring. I was wondering if simply joining a local ring grants any access to the online resources from the website or if one needs to also be an international member to get theses benefits.
I realize this is probably a silly question, but I did not see a direct answer to it on the IBM website.

You need to be a member of the IBM to get into the website. Also most rings will not let you join the ring as a full member unless you are an IBM member

Thank you Matthew for your response. As far as the website access that is what I assumed, but I did not know that most rings require a full membership.

My local magicians group is a combined IBM and SAM so I am wondering which of the two would be better to join. The price of both them are about the same, though with a student discount SAM is cheaper. But the price difference is not too big of a factor for me, though joining both would be too expensive for me at this moment. I am open to any opinions but I also ask specifically about the following:
How do the magazines Linking Rings and MUM compare?
Does IBM or SAM have better online resources?
Does IBM or SAM have more online resources?
Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated. And I know this the choice between IBM and SAM is probably mostly about personal preferences. So please try give the reasons behind opinions.

I'll mail you a copy of the LINKING RING, so you can make an educated decision.
I've been a member of the "I Bother Magicians" since April, 1950, and the "Some Are Magicians", since August 1975.
Frankly, I like the SAM better. Partly because George Schindler, the Dean, has been a friend for many years. --And, my dear friend, Father Cyprian Murray, OFM Cap. was the "Most Illustrious" (National President),
I would suggest that you join the one that is most beneficial, financially!
I would be pleased to sponsor you for membership in either group.

Both groups have online groups for those too far from a Ring or Assembly. Right now the SAM does a better job with that, but I'm working on catching up. I'm doing the IBM online Ring solo. We are going to start doing a desktop lecture series soon as well as a member spotlight on the ring's Facebook page. The Linking Ring and M-U-M are not what they were but I think that M-U-M is a little better right now, but that can change. Where the IBM passes the SAM is the back issues of the magazine. With the IBM you get all of of the back issues, convention programs, and Jinx, Sphinx Hugard's Magic Monthly and a 11 other runs of periodicals. As far as the online version of the magazine goes, the M-U-M has a few more add ons, but neither one comes close to what Genii does.
Then again if you have the $120 a year you could just join both

Matthew thank you for your insightful response. Right now I am definitely leaning towards starting with SAM. Your comments helped with this, but also SAM offers a free four month trial membership so I can see if I would really like to invest in such a community of magicians, regardless of whether I ultimately start with SAM or IBM and then probably joining both when all is said and done. As far as I have been able to tell IBM does not offer a free trial membership. Though if there is one please let me know.
Also if anyone else would like to share their opinion on SAM vs IBM, the pros and cons of each ect. I would be happy to hear them. For I will be starting out with the trial membership. Thus I still have time before I need to make a decision on which to community to join first.

Hakaput, you've probably already made up your mind and it's your mind, so only you can make it up. I think the choice between IBM and SAM is one of individual and personal preferences. I haven't really taken full advantage of what IBM offers via their website, but that wasn't the primary reason I joined IBM. I don't get M-U-M, so can't make an informed and unbiased assessment of the Linking Ring publication vs. M-U-M. I originally considered SAM because the local SAM group had their monthly meetings at a home/residence of one of the members/officers of that group, while IBM held their meetings in a back room of a local restaurant (banquet room). I thought the intimacy of someone's home would be the better place for such meetings, but I've since discovered that a backroom/banquet room is the PERFECT place for a meeting.
I ended up joining IBM because I met several of the local ring members at a Michael Ammar lecture (president, secretary, treasurer, and more from that group), but not one local SAM member was in attendance. If your primary reason for joining is to learn new magic, gain new skills/sleights, and grow your library of magic, then it will be those things that you'll value and seek from your membership. I can do those things and grow my skills with what I already have in my possession (got plenty of DVD's and books that I've not given a full study). I was looking to find a group of fellow magicians with whom I can fellowship and share the magic. Finding a place where I can go and fearlessly perform some new trick very badly without soiling my magic reputation. It is where I can get an honest and constructive response about my very bad performance that will help me improve from very bad to just bad-a$$ed. Staring into a mirror while you're performing/practicing doesn't lend well to your effort with a public performance. It's so much more beneficial to perform your magic as practice then it is to practice your magic as a performance (huh?).
IBM may not call it a trial membership and you won't have access to their online resources, but most open their monthly meetings to anyone considering membership. Contact the local ring's president or other officer's and ask about attending and then attend at least two meetings to get a true sense of that group. Do the same with SAM and then decide.
Magic is believing in yourself. If you can do that, you can make anything happen.

Thank you for you words of wisdom. I have not yet joined either SAM or IBM, I have not really had the time. The main reason my focus has been on the benefits and resources that IBM and SAM have to offer is because where I live both are a single group as far as local meetings go. As such the push to join one verses the other depends much more heavily on what the non local group has to offer. Additionally the time when the local meeting does not often work with my schedule and I have only been able to attend once in the four months that I have known about its existence. But luckily I discovered that there is a smaller group of magicians that meets more regularly and at a time that works better for me. So I will try to join them regularly. But the decision between SAM and IBM still has yet to be made.

I couldn't keep up the pace I had yesterday because I think I zonked out my brain last night. I think it got quite a shock to write so much in so little time! I've had to take it more slowly today; my thought processes don't seem to be matching up or something.
Or maybe I just need more exercise.
Anyway! The story continues and so far it's good. A bit slower paced than yesterday, because the protagonist started reflecting on himself before he got on the train, and then the plot just started to drag slower than molasses stuck on turtles. But at least he got on the damn train to his destiny. Finally.
And now to take this story to The City.

That Numbers Game...
Saturday, July 06, 2013
WELL it was bound to happen eventually! 26th weigh-in, and for the first time since the beginning of January, I have recorded a "gain" on the scale.
I guess I am human after all! I have to say, I was really starting to wonder when the Scale Day of Reckoning was going to arrive - 25 consecutive weeks of loss does seem somewhat miraculous (no matter how hard I worked for it - other people work just as hard as I do, yet fight regularly with The Scale - oh, Scale, you are so fickle with your attention, so cruel!)
And here it is - my first "gain." Now, I KNOW it isn't an actual gain of FAT. That would be impossible. Since my last weigh-in, I've eaten at "maintenance" levels for 4 days (1800-2000) and "reduction" levels for 3 days (1300-1500). No fat stores have been created. Some may have been depleted. Yet the stable-to-loss status of my underlying body mass has been masked by Normal Fluctuations in Water Weight.
Yep, summer hit, it got hot, and I puffed up like a water balloon held too long over the tap, my body swelling in preparation to defend against drought and dehydration. My fingers, hands, ankles are visibly puffy. I can FEEL the swelling when I clench a fist. I have felt like this ever since last Monday.
Mid-week, I felt curious about what havoc this was going to wreak on the scale. And against my "once a week, first thing Saturday morning" rule, I stepped on, on a hot Wednesday night. At the peak of my sweaty wishing-my-house-had-aircon misery, after gulping down yet another cup of water. At that point, the scale said ONE NINE NINE. I leapt off as fast as I'd stepped on, and wished I hadn't succumbed to my need to know where things stood between the scale and I. Rationalizations immediately followed. "You just drank a 12-ounce glass of water - that's 3/4 of a pound right there!" "It's evening, whereas you always weigh in the morning - probably explains another couple pounds right there!" "I bet you ate sodium! I bet you did! And I know you drank an alcoholic beverage! No wonder you're so puffy, serves you right!" So, much chagrined, I turned my back on the scale and waited for the weekend to come.
Thursday - still hot. Still puffy. Uh oh. This water retention nonsense might not be over by the weekend...
Friday - a gracious break in the weather, more tolerable temperatures - but still puffed up like a marshmallow over a campfire. Plus Friday night out, a restaurant dinner and wine. Oh dear... 12 hours to weigh in, this is not going to be pretty. Quick, how to fight water retention? Oh, of course, better hydration! *Guzzles copious amounts of water before bed; not the best idea if one is looking for an uninterrupted 8 hours of sleep, but, I digress*
Saturday. Sigh. I feel more "normal" than I had on Wednesday, but... well fine, let's just get this over with. Yep, as suspected, "up 2 pounds from last weigh in."
- Oh no! This means i've only lost a net 2# over the last 4 weeks!
- Oh no! This means I've reversed the losses of the past 2 weeks completely, and then some!
- Oh no! This puts me totally off-target for my Sept 1st goal!
- Oh no! Does this herald A Plateau?!
- Oh no! Maybe I shouldn't have had those "maintenance level" days!
- Oh no! Maybe I should question how accurate my counting has been! What If I've been underestimating by a hundred calories or so, per day!
- Oh no! Oh no! Oh no!!!!!
Alright - I KNOW THIS IS CRAZY-TALK. I know it's unfounded, reactionary, and just plain stupid. I know it does me zero good, to think this way. I KNOW how "normal changes in water retention" affect The Scale - I've pointed it out to countless other panicked "gainers" in the forums, time and time again, there-there, it's just water! There-there, it will resolve on its own in a week or two! There-there, based on what you ate, you'll have experienced actual fat loss, it's only temporarily masked! There-there, sodium, alcohol, hormones, heat! Worry not!
At the end of the day, though, I just have to laugh at myself and my crazy-talk and celebrate the fact that I am "normal" with successes and challenges and good days and bad days and motivational thoughts and silly thoughts just like anyone else. I have to laugh at myself and my reaction to The Numbers and my immediate need to start playing with those numbers, rationalizing those numbers, as if Numbers were the be-all and end-all, as if nothing else meant anything, as if Winning at the Numbers Game were my actual goal. It isn't. I know that. So why such an internal drama? Who knows. I will laugh until the anxiety passes, and then I will laugh some more.
And next week I will slay that scale! (I mean... *cough*... what I meant to say was... if the number on the scale mattered, I would... but it doesn't... so... what will be, will be).

I feel your pain! the hard thing I think, is just that you need to get into the mindset that this is a lifestyle, not a diet, and you have the rest of your life to get through this - you'll make that progress and if it takes you a couple weeks past your 'goal date', it shouldn't be a big deal. Easy for me to say, but not so easy for me to do either ;) Love the way you articulated what we all feel at one time or another!!

It's funny how it totally doesn't matter what our intellect says --- there is still an instant emotional reaction to that little set of numbers between our toes.
Sorry to hear that the heat got you, but it's reassuring to know that even Superwoman has her human moments!
Enjoy the laughter, and the rest of the weekend!

Don't worry about it. Summer water retention is normal and you know you are still doing good. If you are eating right and doing your exercise then all is well. Don't over think it.

Livin' Large!
Drew Carey is amazing and funny, and in this case I think he hits the nail right on the head. The media have been telling us how bad we should feel for years! So everyone just falls in line and expects that life is bad... if not for them then for someone else. America needs to lighten up and realize how good we have it. We live in the best country in the world and we are blessed! So smile and quit complaining! God bless

Bill Belichick disciples are going to love it. The haters who
can't let go of "Spygate" will detest it.
The NFL Network had Belichick wear a microphone for the entire
2009 season, and also recorded the coach off the field -- fishing
off Nantucket, reminiscing about his father and his childhood,
teaching his son, motivating his players, conferring with the likes
of Tom Brady and Robert Kraft. The result - "A Football Life: Bill
Belichick" - premieres on the NFL Network on Thursday, Sept.
Part One airs at 9 p.m. on Sept. 15, while Part Two is on at 10
p.m. on Sept. 22.
"Bill Belichick doesn't only make history - he studies it; he
understands his place in it; and he appreciates our desire to
capture it," said NFL Films President Steve Sabol. "Like Vince
Lombardi's Packers in 1967, Belichick and the Patriots gave us
access to his football life and what we created is a portrait of

Building a home theater provides you, your family, and friends with the incomparable luxury or being able to recreate the movie going experience in the comfort and convenience of your Maryland home. However, it can seem like a steep investment at first, and while home theater construction has always been touted as a great way to increase your home's value, it can be hard to believe. So is it true? Is investing in building a home theater guaranteed to have a solid return in Maryland?
The Short Answer
The Longer Answer
Yes, but how much depends on the quality of the home theater system. Home theaters are swiftly becoming a common feature of pre-built, high-end Maryland homes because the construction business, to remain financially solvent must be constantly responding to market demand. People want home theaters and builders and real estate agents know that not only will a home theater make a house stand out from the competition, but they can also substantially increase the amount you can charge per-square foot of space.
Theo Kalomirakis, a respected home-theater designer, sold his own apartment, equipped with a home theater, six years ago, "everything in the building was selling for $600 a square foot," he said. "Because of the theater, I sold my apartment for $850 a square foot."
A home theater doesn't have to massive but it will require a room at least 10'x16' able to accommodate two rows of seating. You'll also need decent acoustics and lighting to make the experience as true to the cinema as possible. Finally when selecting AV components, it's best to consult a professional. With the staggering array of possibilities to choose from, only a professional will be able to find top quality components without wasting money.

Tottenham now have a little rest before returning to the lane Saturday lunchtime (12:30 GMT) to face West Brom.
(71′) Ben Davies
(81′) Heung Min Son
93′ Tottenham nearly finish the game in style when Onomah makes a great run and slots in Son who's shot is saved by the keeper.
90′ 3 minutes of added time to be played.
88′ Free kick to Aston Villa as Grealish is fouled just outside the box by Carter-Vickers. However, the free kick by Ross McCormack is blasted over the bar.
85′ Great play by the substitutes Nkoudou who's cross nearly found Onomah for a tap in. Tottenham getting close to finding a third. 2-0.
84′ Substitution for Tottenham:
Moussa Sissoko OFF – Joshua Onomah ON
81′ Sissoko in the action again and Trippier plays a one two with him and Sissoko uses his pace to get into the box and cut it bad for Heung Min Son who slots it in the bottom corner of the net. Surely that goal see's Tottenham into the fourth round of the FA Cup.
79′ Sissoko gets in behind the Villa defence and the keeper makes a good save. However, Sissoko should have scored there to double Tottenham's lead. Still 1-0.
77′ Triple Substitution for Aston Villa:
Albert Adomah OFF – Andre Green ON
Mile Jedinak OFF – Keinan Davis ON
Gabby Agbonlahor OFF – Ross McCormack ON
74′ Eric Dier' free kick lacked height and hit the wall before being cleared by the visitors.
73′ Free kick to Spurs just on the edge of the penalty box after Wimmer was fouled from behind. Eric Dier looks to be taking the free kick.
71′ A great ball by the substitute who had been on the pitch for only 30 seconds which is then nodded home by Tottenham's left back Ben Davies. His first goal for Spurs! 1-0
70′ Substitution for Tottenham:
Toby Alderweireld OFF – Georges-Kevin Nkoudou ON
68′ Dele Alli makes a great run and play's it too Winks who shot is saved by the keeper on the stretch. The game is end to end and starting to come to life.
66′ Aston Villa get their best chance of the game as a beautiful cross is pinged around in the box but is superbly defended by Alderweireld for a corner which eventually comes to nothing.
64′ Nathan Baker is ok to continue for the visitors and play continues as Villa win a free kick in the middle of the park.
62′ Stoppage in play as Nathan Baker gets treatment on his back.
62′ Fantastic save by the Villa keeper Johnstone as Son makes a great run down the right and hits a powerful shot which is tipped over the bar for a corner. The corner is first cleared by Baker and then put back in by Ben Davies but Carter-Vickers' header is wide.
60′ Substitution for Tottenham:
Vincent Janssen OFF – Dele Alli ON.
57′ Dele Alli is getting ready to come on for Spurs. In the mean time Tottenham win a corner which is met by the head of Janssen who header goes just past the post. Still goal-less at the lane.
Tottenham fans are signing loud and proud; 'Come on you Spurs' to show their support to their players.
52′ Trippier swings in a beautiful ball to the feet of Heung Min Son who doesn't catch the shot and it is easily cleared by Villa's defence.
47′ Tottenham start the half off strong after Son plays a one-two with Janssen who's shot is placed into the arms of the keeper.
46′ The second half gets under way by the visitors. No substitutions as of yet.
The teams are coming back out as the second half is about to get under way. Lets hope for a bit more of an exciting half and some goals!
Not many chances to report in that first half with the visitors probably being the happier of the two sides. Spurs seem a bit slow and need to up the tempo in the second half and the quality in the final third to challenge their opposition.
45′ HALF TIME – No Added Minutes. Tottenham 0 – 0 Aston Villa.
43′ The home side are getting closer to taking the lead and are creating more chances than their opposition.
40′ Spurs win their second corner of the game as again Davies is played in on the overlap which his cross is intercepted for a corner. However, again the corner comes to nothing.
36′ Better from Tottenham as Sissoko puts in Ben Davies on the overlap who puts in a great low and hard cross across the edge of the six yard box but Villa clear again. Still 0-0.
33′ Trippier wins Tottenham's first corner of the game. But, Eric Dier' attempt towards goal is rolled into the arms of the keeper.
30′ Free kick just outside the box for Aston Villa. It was a good delivery by Grealish but was eventually cleared by the home side. It is then back in the visitors possession and Grealish' who's shot is high and wide of the target.
28′ The first shot that is on target has finally come from Aston Villa' Bacuna but is a very easy catch for Michel Vorm.
26′ Spurs having good possession but no real chances coming of it at the moment. Still 0-0.
21′ Jack Grealish fouls Winks who makes a fantastic driving run in the Aston Villa half giving Spurs an opportunity from the free kick. However, the resulting free kick is too deep and is punched away from the Villa goalkeeper.
20′ 20 minutes gone still 0-0.
19′ The corner results into a free kick to Spurs as Baker collides into the back of Tottenham captain Eric Dier.
18′ Free Kick in the Tottenham half to Aston Villa which is cleared by Ben Davies to give away the first corner of the game to the visitors.
15′ Aston Villa's are starting to get into the game and their goalkeeper Sam Johnstone who is making his debut today hasn't been troubled in the first 15 minutes.
12′ Janssen receives the ball in the penalty area and wriggles away from the villa defence to place in a lovely low and hard cross which is intercepted and cleared by Villa's right back.
8′ Trippier puts in a long cross from the right hand side but it is too high for Tottenham's striker Vincent Janssen who was ruled offside anyway.
4′ Sissoko with a terrific 40 yard run through the middle of the park but is then stopped in his tracks by the Villa defence. Still 0-0
2′ Some early possession for the home side but no chances as of yet.
1′ Kick off! Spurs and Harry Winks get the game under way.
The players are coming out of the tunnel.
Aston Villa make 4 changes from the defeat against Cardiff City. Sam Johnstone who has signed on loan from Manchester United makes his debut in goal for the visitors. However, Steve Bruce believes they can get a victory today and even go on to win the FA Cup, but admits it will be very tough.
"It's hard because the first match is against one of the best teams in Europe at their own ground. The FA Cup gives you a chance to win something and we can win five games and get there. It's a difficult challenge but we will try our utmost to get through to the next round. We all know that a day out at Wembley is fantastic for the club – and the supporters, of course."
Spurs making 9 changes from the victory against Chelsea but it was expected as Mauricio Pochettino believed some players need rest. However, he believes it will be a tough game and one they shouldn't take lightly.
"We need to measure the level of the players and to assess them properly not only physically but mentally as well. Some players need rest. Sure, we'll make some changes. They struggled from the beginning of the season but now it's Steve Bruce and a team that can fight for promotion again. It's a long way to the end of the season but they have the possibility to push up the table. They are a good team with very good players, many players who played in the Premier League. It's a big club and it will be a tough game. It's a special competition and one game."
LINE-UPS: Tottenham Hotspur V Aston Villa (16:00 GMT)
Tottenham Hotspur: Vorm (GK), Trippier, Carter-Vickers, Alderweireld, Wimmer, Davies, Dier (C), Winks, Sissoko, Son, Janssen.
Aston Villa: Johnstone (GK), Hutton, Chester, Baker, Amavi, Jedinak, Aaron, Adomah, Bacuna, Grealish, Agbonlahor.
Welcome! It's time for the FA Cup clash between Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa. Spurs are the big favourites heading into today's game but the visitors are looking to cause an upset.

I have recently returned to Paleo, knowing that is what makes me feel best. In January I went keto Paleo, only to come off of it at the end of June because I developed trouble digesting fats due to an external event that kicked off whole body inflammation. I had to go to a high carb, low fat diet that included beans and non-gluten grains.
While I didn't gain weight eating that way, I watched myself slide into a total lack of energy and brain fog. Then came body aches, stomach issues and muscle pain. Finally, after a lot of work, my ability to digest fat improved over several months and I have been able to return to Paleo again.
Within 48 hours of returning to Paleo, I began improving.
So I am Paleo but not keto Paleo for now. We'll see what the future holds as to whether I return to keto after more healing and plenty of testing. I remain avocado, gluten, dairy, pork, nightshade and egg free, all due to intolerance/allergies. We continue working on healing my body.
Since my return, I've rather been at a loss on how to feed myself again. Diet shifts always catch me off guard and I have to rethink menus. I tend to assign meals based on evening activities and who is cooking, so as to not overwhelm the cook. You'll see my focus is on simple meals that are quickly prepared for the cook's skill level.
That's especially true right now as we're working on a whole-house declutter as part of the renovation as we prepare to play musical rooms. In the next 6 weeks, we hope to go from a 3/2 to a 4/3 with two master suites and an office. Everyone will permanently move to a different bedroom as part of the remodel that will then proceed and I will claim one bedroom as an office. The other office has already been completed and Jeff has moved into it. We will lose all our current storage area in our home, so we must pare down a lot as part of this whole house remodel. There will be no more storage, everything we keep will now take up living space, so we are getting rid of a lot. My goal is to let go of over half of what we own as we work through this process. I'll post in more detail about this soon.
We also typically cook enough for lunch the next day, plus extra leftovers. It isn't uncommon for us to make 12 servings for a normal dinner. We eat 4, have 4 for lunch the next day, then the remainder goes into the leftover pile for whoever needs a meal on the weekends or it feeds the freezer. It can make a quick breakfast when needed, especially if I don't feel like cooking for myself in the morning.
We're also working on cleaning out the freezers of ingredients, as they've gotten a little too full. We're also rotating the pantry as we remodel our house and using up items that need to go. I'll talk more about the whole-house remodel soon.
My family isn't Paleo all of the time. You'll see here that we typically fix two separate breakfasts as they eat grain at breakfast. I also allow them to fix things I can't have due to intolerances, like chili. They enjoy those foods and it's nutritious to someone who isn't intolerant/allergic, so there's no reason why they should miss chili even though I can't tolerate tomatoes right now.
This week's prep work
- Roast two chicken, debone meat and make stock
- Prepare fat bombs and gelatin to have on hand as snacks
- Make soup and stoup. Lots of it.
This week's menu
- Fried eggs for the kids, an apple with sunflower butter for me
- Curried pumpkin soup with added chicken for me, potato soup with bacon for the kids
- More soup with roasted chicken and sauteed kale
- Muffins for the kids, pumpkin noatmeal for me (recipe coming soon)
- Leftover roast chicken, sauteed kale, salad
- Meatloaf (minus the ketchup topping because nightshades) with fennel, apple and pomegranate salad and roasted broccoli
- Oatmeal for the kids, pumpkin noatmeal for me
- Leftover meatloaf and veggies, green salad as needed to stretch the meal
- Grilled chicken thighs with grilled asparagus, yellow squash and zucchini if the weather allows grilling. If not, we bake it instead but it isn't nearly as yummy.
- Plantain waffles for me, pancakes for the kids
- Leftover grilled chicken thighs with Ranch Brussels sprouts
- Chili for the kids, leftovers for me
- Broccoli soup for me, scrambled eggs for the kids. Bacon for them from the freezer.
- It's taco Tuesday… On a Friday. ??? Insert Lego emoji here. Tacos with plantain or romaine wrappers, taco shells for those who can handle corn, which doesn't appear to be me.
- Chicken stoup. Sroup is soup that has loads of veggies in it. Soup usually has a lot more broth than solids. Stoup is teeming with solids so that it's more filling.
- Butternut squash puree with coconut cream for me, free day for the kids. They pick what they want and fix it themselves.
- Leftover tacos for me, chili or sloppy joes for the kids (cook's choice). Excess feeds the freezer.
- Sunday morning is always 'fend for yourself.' Church starts at 9, don't be late! We normally heat and eat any leftovers or grab something previously frozen to heat up.
- Jeff makes lunch every Sunday. He picks up whatever he needs on the way home from church, if we're out of something, and he handles the whole meal. He normally grills something.
- Sunday evening is leftovers or fend for yourself.
I often now turn to Pinterest for meal ideas over Facebook and individual blog feeds. It seems to be a lot easier to quickly pick items searching for key words. Between that and my personal recipe archive, I can plan menus quickly.

|Graphical Depiction of Where Weak to Strong Tornadoes
Impacted Florida During the Passage of Hurricane Agnes in 1972. The track is shown to the West of the Peninsula in lavender. Blue dots are severe thunderstorms/red triangles, tornadoes
THE SITUATION: Not a whole lot different today than yesterday but there are some subtle changes that will make a difference from Sunday. It is 12:30pm and the East Coast sea breeze has yet to form north of South Florida. It should begin during the next 30-60minutes and work from South to North up the coast. The breeze north of Vero Beach might first be felt from the N-NE and remain quite late until the true sea breeze arrival later in the afternoon. This wind will remain close to the coast..and will not be the full bore sea breeze.
Meanwhile, the upper level trough that was the impetus for large storm coverage over South Florida yesterday has pressed into the Atlantic..this area is now under some upper level subsident (sinking air)...but residual moisture remains and continues from a more southern source. Instability is not quite as strong down that way today and wind fields are much weaker aloft now that the upper trough has pulled east. Further exemplified by the fact that waterspouts have been able to form well off the coast of Ft. Lauderdale (in general), which require weak low level wind fields. Further north, significant mid-level drying has occurred along and north of the Beachline. Like yesterday, strongest mid-level westerlies prevail over North Florida. It will be quite hot today along I-10 to JAX/TLH and south along the St. John's River Valley Basin to west of Ormond Beach.
TODAY: TRICK-cast today...especially in the 'where it will rain today' department. All convection/showers/storms will be sea-breeze/Lake breeze boundary driven induced under a moderately unstable atmosphere. The strongest storms will occur in general after 3:30pm when instability has been built up, boundaries have formed and begin to run into each other. That will happen over South Florida first, which is almost always the case when little to no other synoptic scale features are present. Some of the strongest storms in South Florida today will result from the Lake/Sea Breeze handshakes in Palm Beach and Broward County, possibly Martin County west of I-95. Other strong storms will occur near Miami metro but probably the strongest storms will occur over less populated areas around "The Lake" / Everglades.
SOUTH CENTRAL: Storms in South Central Florida will not even consider beginning to form until the sea-breeze boost begins from the SE-SSE from South to North with time, first in Indian River County. This boost should reach South Brevard around 4pm-4:40pm which will then send the East Coast Seabreeze boundary inland in rapid fashion. Storms will form as the boundary accelerates inland then be left behind to linger in their own pee and die as the boundary continues.
Meanwhile. the west coast sea breeze could perform just the opposite..accelerating from North to South. Net affect will be that the sea breezes will begin to approach each other after 5pm well inland. It is at this time that the best chance of an isolated strong storm or two is possible, mostly over Osceola/Okeechobee/Polk Counties with a random renegade strong storm in Lake County due to the extra moisture provided by the nearby lakes which the models do not pick up on. Could be some showers along the St. John's River Valley Basin in NE Florida..but would be very short lived and not strong due to the very dry mid level air...solely on moisture convergence which will be quickly spent to simply form the clouds.
THIS EVENING: If there are even any storms to be found late today...the strongest storms should occur over Okeechobee to Northern Osceola County where mid-level dry air from North Central Florida could be en-trained into the updrafts. Thus, if there are to be any briefly strong to pulse severe storms today, believe they will be either over Osceola/Okee/Polk County.
In any case, it looks now as though any such storm would occur over a lowly populated area and will be hard to confirm its nature by an actual person. Nearby swamp lands and marsh over SW Brevard County could add a boost to storms in Osceola County as they begin to en-train drier air from the north while receiving a moisture boost off the enhanced sea breeze as it blows over that terrain.
Additionally, the strongest storms should occur over South Central due to the combined efforts of the enhanced late afternoon east coast sea-breeze, Lake Breeze, and mass convergence PRECEDING the actual time the two breezes meet superimposed with contraflow areas. This should begin roughly after 5pm and peak between 6 - 8pm. Storms will quickly dwindle once the sea breezes have embraced, shook hands, and are no longer arguing shortly after the sun sets and outflows kill any other surrounding showers.
Might be a orphan or custody battle straggler though in Lake County for while after dark...or, perhaps in the custody battle, the Lake County area will never be able to generate a storm as South Central wins sole custody tonight. Any activity, if it is occurs north of the Beachline, will be isolated and easy to spot (and avoid) if desired. As should that over South Central.
TOMORROW: Looks to be completely different from today but favoring more toward the West Side of The State with little in the way to completely deter showers or enhance them.
WEDNESDAY: More favored for far North Florida with some isolated activity south of there.
TRANSITION DAY (Thursday): Like clockwork...the TRUE FLORIDA SUMMER WET SEASON MIGHT VERY WELL BEGIN almost on Calendar Summer (June 21).
This would be the second latest the wet season has ever started on record'; second only to 1998 when it began in July sometime.
Beginning Thursday and beyond, it looks like the rule of thumb more often than not will be hunting more for where it will not rain rather than where it will...easy to do..Just highlight A1A from Cape Canaveral to Cocoa Beach and you can't lose ;-(.

We were flying solo this weekend (just me and the baby...and the dog...and the cat, but she hardly counts). The weather was stunning - cool but fine, so we took a couple of walks through Hagley Park.
We really are lucky to still have this space. There were huge numbers of folks out with their dogs, and their children, and each other. If you're trying to live in the new Christchurch, I thoroughly recommend a stroll in the Autumn sunshine-y goodness to clear the head. Then a cup of tea, or a glass of wine, then another glass, and hey, why not finish the bottle?

Barcelona have been a poor selling club over the past decade. Players like Rafael Marquez, Thierry Henry, Samuel Eto'o, Ronaldinho and Deco have all left the club for a variety of reasons. Most recently, Aliaksandr Hleb had his contract rescinded at the end of a three-year-long fruitless search for a new club.
This summer could bring with it its own set of players who are set to leave the Camp Nou. Some may not fit into first-team plans. Some lack crucial abilities required to play at Barcelona. And some are just not considered good enough by the technical staff.
Here are the five players most likely to leave the Camp Nou in the summer transfer window.

Montevideo, Uruguay | 3rd Public Talk 4th May, 1935
The future is nothing but an escape from actuality, through an ideal to which we try to adjust the present, the immediate action. These ideals are merely safeguards, hopes, illusions born of incompleteness and frustration. So the future is placing a hindrance in the way of action and fulfillment. Thought, which should be in constant movement, is attaching itself either to the past or the future, and out of this comes that limited consciousness, the "I", which is but incompleteness.
Now to understand reality, the deep significance of the movement of life, which is the eternal, thought must be free from this attachment to and influence of the past and the future; mind must be completely naked, without any escape or support, without the power of creating illusion. In that clarity, in that simplicity, there is born, as the flower, truth, the ecstasy of life.

Acts 1:15 King James Version (KJV)
15 And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty,)
Acts 2:1-4 King James Version (KJV)
2 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Once again, I went literal. Can you spot Ernest in this PLAY? Hint -- he's a lot shorter.
The kids had such fun.
The casting was perfect.
Well, of course I have video of Ernest's stellar performance as Linus. Just not on the computer. So enjoy this instead.
Next week's theme is SPICY.

Chicken Rezala is a tropically Bengali and bhopali recipe. It is an Indian mughlai non veg recipe. You can use lots of dry fruits and saffron in this recipe. Chicken Rezala is one such dish from these well-known Muslim restaurants of Calcutta and Bhopal. During Ramadan Muslims are made this recipe. I had also eaten this recipe in my father's childhood friend home. Aunt's hand made chicken razala is so tasty and its exceptional flavor is absolutely divine with not-so-thick off-white gravy. Writing this recipe is re-memorized the old days.
Chicken – 1/2 kg
Curd – 1 cup
Boiled Onion paste 75 grams
Ghee 1/2 cup
Green chilies 2-3 pieces
Bay leaf 1 piece
Ginger garlic paste 2 and ½ tablespoon
Coriander powder ½ tablespoon
Whole garama masala cardamom 2, cloves 2, cinnamon ½ inch Whole Black pepper ½ tablespoon
Poppy seed paste 2 tablespoon
Cashew nut paste 1tablespoon
Saffron strands few (soaked in water)
Whole Dried Red Chili 8
Fresh Cream 100 grams
Sugar ½ tablespoon
Kewra water ½ tablespoon
Salt as per taste
Hot water 2 cups
For garnishing: Roasted almonds, cashew nuts
Wash the chicken pieces. Marinate chicken pieces with curd and ginger-garlic paste for 1 hour. Put a pan on gas then add ghee in it.
Add the whole Red chilies. Add whole garam masala (cloves, cinnamon sticks, cardamom, bay leaves), onion paste, ginger garlic paste.
Cook till raw flavor is gone. Add black pepper powder, green chilis, cashew nut and poppy seed paste and curd. After adding curd you have to stir continuously. Other wise it will burn.
Now add the marinated chicken in it. Stir well and fry the chicken pieces for 5 minutes. Now add the reserve marinade to it. Add 2 cups of hot water. Cover the lid on it and let it cook for 30 minutes in a slow flame.
Remove the cover and check consistency. Gravy should be medium thin with fat drops from ghee separating at the side Check for seasoning and adjust the salt, sugar and pepper. Add the Kewra essence and saffron. Switch off the flame.
Transfer to an individual serving bowl, place one dried Red Chilli with each serving. Serve it with biryani or roomali roti.
Health conscious people can avoid ghee altogether by adding 1/2 cup of curd instead of 4 tablespoon.
DO NOT use the Turmeric, Red Chilli Powder and Garlic or any other spices.

On 3 July 2019 the H. Wieniawski Lublin Philharmonic will host an unprecedented music event devoted to the 450th anniversary of the Union of Lublin. The concert at 6pm will feature works written by Polish, Lithuanian, Belarusian and Ukrainian artists.
All these nationalities inhabited the territories of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The meeting of these four cultures, permeating each other for centuries, will thus celebrate the 450th anniversary of the signing of the Union of Lublin Act. The concert will be a unique opportunity to listen to both well-known works and compositions that are rarely performed.
The concert organised by the Lublin Branch of the Association of Polish Musicians will present a cross-section of works from the eighteenth to the twentieth century, representing various genres: from opera arias, songs and solo instrumental works to traditional folk melodies. Next to the works of Stanisław Moniuszko and Fryderyk Chopin, great ambassadors of Polishness, there will be compositions by other Polish composers (Jelski, Joteyko, Noskowski, Niewiadomski) and artists living in the pre-partition Poland and Lithuania (Holland, Stepowyj, Čiurlionis). The programme will also feature several classic compositions for traditional Belarusian cymbals.
The "Concert of dialogue" will feature musicians associated with the Lublin region: singers Anna Barska, Dorota Szostak-Gąska, Natalia Skipor, Mariola Zagojska, Jakub Gąska, violinist Magdalena Maciąg, and pianist Agnieszka Schulz-Brzyska as well as guest artists from Poland and abroad: Natalia Kovalenko from Ukraine, Maria Kuczyńska from Belarus and Aleksander Ładysz. The concert will be hosted by Andrzej Gładysz.
Admission free!

It's been over 4 years since I last posted on this topic, and I am ready to offer an update.
I made the complete switch to Apple products, so our house now has an iMac, Macbook, iPad, Apple TV, and iPhone. There are trade-offs involved, but for me the benefits (one relatively functional system that combines software and hardware) outweigh the costs (moderately expensive, plus I have all my computer eggs in one corporate basket).
I would not have done this were it not for one cloud-based application that is not dependent on Apple: Evernote.
I have been using Evernote for five years, and now it contains all my personal and other information, organized in about 65 notebooks (as of today I have 6495 notes). Each note contains either a single piece of data (e.g., a product on Amazon I am considering buying), or a whole category of data (e.g., all of my contacts with my dentists). A note can be written by me, clipped from the web, a photo, a video, a sound file, an attachment, an email, or any combination.
Evernote works just as well if you use one notebook, or 200. How you organize is entirely up to you. I have my notebooks arranged under main categories, such as Health, Food, People, My Stuff. Under My Stuff, for example, I have notebooks for House, Bicycles, Yard, Computer Hardware, etc. Under Food I have separate notebooks for Wine, Recipes, Cooking Tips, In-state Restaurants, etc.
When you do a search, all notebooks are searched, or you can specify one. You can put multiple "tags" on each notebook and organize/search that way.
Now, if I need information (e.g., a history of an insurance claim), it is super easy to find, and almost effortless to update. What is even better, and essential, is I can access this data instantly on all my devices, or any mainstream device connected to the internet.
This is really my dream system, one I have been hoping would emerge in my lifetime, but never really expecting it to.
With Evernote, I have essentially gone paperless. On my always-present iPhone, I use an application called Drafts to assemble or compose notes, etc., then hit a button to instantly transfer the note to Evernote. Just as often, I email a note (or forward an email) to Evernote. As a Premium Evernote user ($45 per year), I can search any attached document, whether it is a .doc file, a .pdf, or something else (like a photo). The free Evernote program is powerful, too. You can switch back and forth from free to premium with no obligation or penalty.
I use other programs to store and access a variety of information I want to keep, such as Vimeo for videos I create, Flickr and Snapfish for photos, Yahoo for email (also Gmail).
I do keep backup data on hard drives, and Evernote allows me to keep its data (my data) on my devices, so it is available whether or not I have an internet connection.
The main problem going forward is I am increasingly dependent on a corporation (Evernote) and its continued availability and functionality. So far, despite a few problems along the way, it has been dependable, and its future seem assured.
