Die bekende kinderliedjie ‘almal dra n jas’ het n lekker catchy tune, ek onthou nie veel daar]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="pagepost">

<h2><em></em></h2>
<h2><em>Die bekende kinderliedjie ‘almal dra n jas’ het n lekker catchy tune, ek onthou nie veel daarvan nie behalwe die insit stukkie: Almal dra`n jas, n jas wat netjies pas…</em></h2>
<div class="entrytext">
<div class="snap_preview">
<p>Die afgelope week by die werk was dinge stil - stiller as normaal… Die ekonomie het (soos SA in die olimpiese spele) geen oplewing veroorsaak nie… Tye is hard en mense kry swaar, inkopielyste word verkort en budgets word gesny, maar terwyl die armes armer raak, is daar rykes wat ryker word, mooier en duurder… Jy kry optimiste en pesimiste en dan sommer ook die tussen-in. Ek verkies om realisties te wees. Ons is almal netjies toegedraai in on eie pretensies en voorkeure, Dit wat ons wil wees, straal ons na buite, dit wat ons is, hou ons binne.</p>
<p>Elkeen dra sy eie jas, een wat hom pas, en as jy wil kan jy n hele paar mense op hulle ‘baadjies’ takseer. In swaar tye, soos die, word die pelse verruil vir polyester, en as ons bedreig word, verruil ons die koningskleed vir kaf… </p>
<p>Op kantoor. My assistent Aghata (ons noem haar n mooi naam, al is sy n harde, koue vrou…)  se man het sy besigheid verkoop. Met opgewondenheid is aan elkeen vertel wat wou hoor - 2.2 miljoen is in die bank! Klaarblyklik was die glasies geklink… Toe kom die val - Rentekoerse gaan op en tonne kope word gekanseleer. (banke of kopers self besluit om lenings van die hand te wys…) Met ons Agatha was dit so - die koper kon toe nie meer koop nie. En toe word die netjiese jassie knoop ver knoop losgemaak en die ware kleure wys… Nie helder flambojant en warm nie, maar koue grys kleure. Die volgende weke was vir die kantoorpersoneel opwindend. Die betrokke bank se top bestuur (gepraat van die corporate ladder) is geskakel en geskel, man, kinders en ma loop deur en selfs die konsultante moet boete doenning doen… Met tye was sy gekalmeerd, dan weet ons - die perculator gaan nou-nou oorkook…</p>
<p>Vyf-uur verkeer... Die man in die dubbel kajuit bakkie oorkant die kruising leun met altwee arms op die stuurwiel terwyl hy opwaarts na die robot staar… amper biddend. `n Christen blanke man miskien 55, met `n ‘al debbo’ pet en pierce brosnan sonbrille, ... ‘n Ouderling in een van die susterskerke.... takseer ek hom op sy briltoutjie… Avril teem in die agtergrond oor sk8terboi -  Die lig slaan groen, en die man draai links.</p>
<p>Die taxi (uit die hel) skiet oor die rooi lig, en jaag voor die bakkie in. Die giet mis die neus van die christen man met n goed-gegegewe sentimeter - en daar verdwyn Zola tevrede met vrag en al. Ek sien alles! Die man leun so oor die stuurwiel (om die 'skade' te bepaal) dat sy keppie afdruk teen die ruit, en toe vorm sy mond die woorde, duidelik, verstaanbaar, (soos Schalk Burger se eensydige gesprek met Willie Ds. ) “F*## - H*&#38;rkindse - K*&#38;&#38;^r . ‘Nogal Snaaks’ giggel ek. Die kerkbaadjie is uit…</p>
<p>Terug blik... Die dominee van my studente dae was gewild onder sommige gemeentelede. Die huilende, smekende stem kon jou nogal oorreed om terug te draai van al die verkeerde wee… Sy Pak was altyd swart met wit hemde en dasse - al was ons reeds in die eerste dekade van die 2de millenuim…en hy 32. Die ouer mense het dit gelaaik - Die swart en wit monotoon kleure het goed by hulle Calvinistiese lewensbeskouings gepas. Dominee wou ook aan gespreek word as dominee. Met die een en enigste tienerpreek wat ek in die kerk was preek dominee toe mos oor “cool dinge” : onder andere Billa Bong, Nike, Britney ( Sy favourite sondaar…) en daar staan n ouer vrou agter, onder die balkon op “Dominee ek dink Jesus is cool, en nie die snert wat jy nou kwyt raak nie…” En daar staan arme dominee weerloos, stil - en van toe af kry ons net gereformeerde preke!</p>
<p>Die gemeente roep toe`n nuwe dominee… Hy is plat op die aarde, hy soen die tannies as die ou dominee hand gee, hy dra nie toga nie en is nie pretensieus soos sy kollega nie. Hy preek gemaklik met alledaagse voorbeelde en nie wederkoms of bestrawwende oordeelspreke nie, net lekker vars preke - Die ouer dominee trek sy toga uit en die ware kleure wys… Donker kleure... Haat, afsku, weersin… </p>
<p>Die ouer Een probber alles, kerkraadslede word gemanipuleer, n dagbestuur word uit die binne kring gekies, en klagtes word ingedien teen sy jonger kolega… Nadat verhoudige versuur is, en mense seer gekry het, vertel die ouer Een met smaak daar was fout aan albei kante (terwyl net sy hande 'derup' van die bloed…) Die uit-einde?  Die jong dominee vind sy weg elders, sy jas mooi in plek, terwyl die ouer doos syne stilletjies aantrek en kreukels uitvee... ongesiens - of so dink hy...</p>
<p>Jy en ek dra `n jas - meestal een wat ons netjies pas.</p>
<p>Of so dink ons...  Dan kom jy met skok en afgryse agter dat daar `n knoop of twee oop is, en dan sien jy wat die wereld sien… (nie jou junior nie, man...!) JOU ware kleure…</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>That my good readers means someone stole my toga again ( I bet Caesar had to use that quite often). Very practical if your toga gets stolen and no one speaks undead languages. You'll thank me later.</p>
<p>My dearest child or computer as others might call it has been unavailable for the last 5 days and I'm overjoyed to have it back. Dad needed the power pack for something I had no clue of (or MAYBE it was conspiracy against me...) So naturally computer said kaputz and went into a coma. But now that it's up and running I can finally get the holiday/random pictures here.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://usera.imagecave.com/jadis289/jadeeela/heppoja.jpg" alt="" width="413" height="329" />In Brighton for the day. Not very sunny though. Got rained on but mmyeah. My horses name was Kelly.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://usera.imagecave.com/jadis289/jadeeela/Jade1englantirandom079.jpg" alt="" width="409" height="314" />Camden! I bought cute bear ear muffs from there:)</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://usera.imagecave.com/jadis289/Jade1englantirandom081.jpg" alt="" width="326" height="433" /> Took train from Camden back home. I kept on sticking my head out of the window so in the end my hair looked like a birds nest.</p>

<p>Los gehts mit einer Toga für den festlichen Anlass. Wer damit durch die Hallen schreitet fühlt sich gleich ein ganzes Stück wichtiger als er es mit den üblichen Silks tun würde. Man braucht schon ein gewisses Maß an Würde für so ein sperriges gewickeltes Teil. Also genau das richtige für jemanden der optisch was hermachen will ohne gleich Flattersilks aufzutragen (die eigentlich nur von Tänzern getragen werden).</p>
<p><strong>Haar:</strong> Novocaine Hair - Riko - silver</p>
<p><strong>Armband:</strong> Acid &#38; Mala Creations - Organic bracelet</p>
<p><strong>Untere Toga:</strong> Sweetest Goodbye - [SG*] Breeze - Ivory &#38; Blue</p>
<p><strong>Oberteil:</strong> Bare Rose - Toba Dealer for men (modified)</p>

<description><![CDATA[Nous le savons : la communauté des utilisateurs de systèmes d&#8217;exploitation libres, bien qu]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nous le savons : la communauté des utilisateurs de systèmes d'exploitation libres, bien qu'en expansion, est relativement réduite. Mais il en est une qui l'est peut-être encore plus : celle des joueurs d'échecs de compétition. <a href="http://www.echecs.asso.fr/">La Fédération Française des Échecs</a> compte presque 50 000 licenciés, et parmi eux très peu doivent faire un usage exclusif de logiciels libres.</p>
<p>Et pour cause ! Pourtant, l'outil informatique est devenu au fil des années un élément <em>indispensable</em> de la panoplie du joueur d'échecs. D'abord, le compétiteur moderne dispose d'une base de données de plusieurs millions de parties, jouées par des milliers de personnes de tous les niveaux, qu'il peut exploiter à sa guise grâce à un logiciel spécifique. Elle lui permet de se préparer contre ses futurs adversaires, de peaufiner son répertoire d'ouverture ou encore de rejouer religieusement des parties classiques de grand-maîtres.</p>
<p>Ensuite, il a également besoin d'un moteur d'analyse, c'est-à-dire d'un logiciel capable de générer d'assez bons coups dans une position donnée. Comme ces logiciels sont en général très forts (disons-le clairement, les meilleurs d'entre eux peuvent battre n'importe quel humain dans une partie en temps limité), le <em>pousseur de bois</em> aguerri s'en sert souvent pour étudier ses propres parties et y repérer les fautes tactiques les plus grossières.</p>
<p>Enfin le joueur d'échecs, même occasionnel, aime jouer en ligne contre des adversaires du monde entier. Pour enchaîner les « blitz » (parties où chaque joueur dispose d'un temps de réflexion très réduit, en général inférieur à cinq minutes pour l'ensemble de l'exercice), il a besoin d'un client qui lui permette de se connecter à son serveur préféré.</p>
<p>Cependant, il y a un gros hic. L'entreprise qui détient le quasi-monopole de l'équipement informatique pour le joueur d'échecs s'appelle <a href="http://www.chessbase.com/">Chessbase</a>. Et évidemment, elle ne développe ses outils que pour la plateforme Microsoft Windows (et entre nous, cela fait un moment que Chessbase est entré en mode tiroir caisse)...</p>
<p>Peu importe. De toute façon, le nouvel adorateur de GNU et Linux va s'évertuer à chercher des alternatives libres, quitte à perdre un peu en confort et en fonctionnalités. N'ai-je pas raison ?</p>
<p>Par conséquent, je voudrais ici faciliter la tâche des joueurs d'échecs souhaitant se séparer définitivement de l'OS de Redmond, en leur fournissant quelques pistes vers des solutions intéressantes. J'espère pouvoir dégrossir un peu le terrain.</p>
<p><strong>1 - Gérer sa base de données avec Scid.<br />
</strong><br />
<a href="http://scid.sourceforge.net/">Scid</a> est une application pour gérer des bases de données, créée par Shane Hudson. Elle dispose de toutes les fonctions que l'on attend d'un tel outil. Scid peut servir de simple lecteur PGN (Portable Game Notation, le format standard des parties d'échecs), dispose de fonctions de maintenance puissantes (on peut par exemple purger automatiquement les doublons d'une base) et, bien sûr, sait générer des rapports d'ouverture ou fournir des statistiques variées à partir de quelques parties. Son interface, bien qu'un peu austère, est propre et efficace.</p>
<p>Il faut noter que le développement de Scid s'est brusquement arrêté en 2004, lors de la mort de son créateur. Mais comme Scid est un logiciel libre, il a pu être repris par des volontaires motivés ! Ainsi, la dernière version stable de l'application date du 22 juin dernier, et de nombreuses nouvelles fonctions sont venues progressivement enrichir un outil qui était déjà d'excellente facture.</p>
<p>Une vieille version de Scid est disponible dans les dépôts Debian. Vous pouvez, si vous le voulez, compiler la dernière version depuis les sources.</p>
<p>Enfin, j'attire votre attention sur la disponibilité d'une base gratuite de plusieurs millions de parties sur Internet : <a href="http://v3.icofy.net/index.php/home?lang=en">Icofy</a>. Complète et régulièrement mise à jour, elle constitue un assez bon choix par défaut.</p>
<p><strong>2 - Un très fort moteur d'analyse : Toga.</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.superchessengine.com/toga_ii.htm">Toga II</a> est certainement le plus fort moteur d'analyse libre. C'est un module UCI (Universal Chess Interface, protocole ouvert de communication entre moteur et interface). Il est basé sur le moteur Fruit 2.1, lui aussi sous license GPL. Ce dernier a connu son heure de gloire il y a environ deux ans, quand il parvenait à rivaliser avec les meilleurs programmes commerciaux de l'époque ; on lui reconnaissait un style de jeu assez humain, ce qui a fait une partie de son succès. Toga conserve certaines de ses qualités.</p>
<p>Vous pouvez utiliser Toga dans Scid. Mais comme ce dernier ne gère pas nativement le protocole UCI, en tout cas pas dans la version présente dans les dépôts, il nous faudra installer un paquet supplémentaire : polyglot. Ce programme permet de rendre Scid compatible avec les modules UCI. J'ai toujours trouvé la procédure un peu obscure, c'est pourquoi je vais la détailler ici.</p>
<p>D'abord, téléchargez les paquets <em>toga</em> et <em>polyglot</em> avec votre gestionnaire de paquets préféré.</p>
<p>Nous allons maintenant créer un fichier <em>toga.ini</em>, qui sera ensuite pris en argument par polyglot. Créez par exemple le fichier suivant, puis placez le dans le répertoire qui contient toga et polyglot ; chez moi c'est <em>/usr/games</em> (pour plus de précisions, les spécifications du protocole UCI sont disponibles <a href="http://download.shredderchess.com/div/uci.zip">ici</a>) :</p>
<blockquote><p>[PolyGlot]</p>
<p>EngineName = Toga<br />
EngineDir = /usr/games<br />
EngineCommand = /usr/games/toga2</p>
<p>Log = false # Mettre à true pour des rapports de bogues<br />
LogFile = toga.log</p>
<p>Resign = true<br />
ResignMoves = 1</p>
<p>[Engine]</p>
<p># Options standards UCI</p>
<p>Hash = 256</p>
<p>NalimovPath = /home/zitrouille/Nalimov-TB # Tables de Nalimov ici<br />
NalimovCache = 16</p>
<p>OwnBook = false</p></blockquote>
<p>Ouvrez Scid. Cliquez sur <em>Outils</em>, puis <em>Moteur d'analyse</em>. Une fenêtre s'ouvre, avec les moteurs déjà installés. Nous voulons installer un nouveau moteur. Par conséquent, nous allons cliquer sur <em>Nouvelle</em>.</p>
<p>Une nouvelle fenêtre apparaît, avec plusieurs champs à remplir. Devant <em>Nom</em>, écrivez par exemple <em>Toga</em>. Devant <em>Commande</em>, il va falloir indiquer l'emplacement de polyglot : c'est <em>/usr/games/polyglot</em>. Devant <em>Paramètres</em>, inscrivez <em>toga.ini</em>. Devant <em>Répertoire</em>, il faut indiquer le répertoire dans lequel se trouvent toga et polyglot, c'est-à-dire : <em>/usr/games</em>. Vous pouvez sans incidence laisser les derniers champs vides. Cliquez sur <em>OK</em> : Toga est désormais disponible pour vos analyses !</p>
<p><strong>3 - Jouer sur Internet avec Eboard.</strong></p>
<p>Cette partie peut intéresser les joueurs occasionnels. Le jeu sur Internet, bien qu'il puisse difficilement remplacer le jeu en club, possède un charme tout particulier. Il existe plusieurs serveurs : les plus connus sont <a href="http://www.playchess.com/">Playchess</a> (qui appartient à Chessbase, payant), <a href="http://www.chessclub.com/">ICC</a> (Internet Chess Club, le plus populaire et le plus fréquenté par les grands maîtres, payant) et enfin <a href="http://www.freechess.org/">FICS</a> (Free Internet Chess Club, gratuit : « We do it for the game, not the money »).</p>
<p>Vous pouvez d'ores et déjà enterrer le premier choix, puisque l'unique client permettant d'accéder à Playchess n'est pas compatible avec GNU/Linux. En revanche il existe plusieurs applications libres permettant d'accéder à FICS. <a href="http://www.bergo.eng.br/eboard/">Eboard</a>, même s'il est bien loin d'être parfait, constitue un compromis honnête entre convivialité et efficacité. En tout cas, il conviendra bien aux débutants, et possède l'avantage non négligeable d'être présent dans les dépôts de Debian.</p>
<p>Un autre programme libre fournit la possibilité de jouer sur ICC ou FICS : il s'agit de <a href="http://www.jinchess.com/">Jin</a>. Pas vraiment meilleur que Eboard, il assure également l'essentiel.</p>
<p><strong>4 - Une ultime expérience à but scientifique et castratrice de libertés : les solutions propriétaires existantes.</strong></p>
<p>Plutôt que de jeter un voile pudique sur la scène, faisons discrètement le tour des solutions privatrices disponibles. À ma connaissance, il n'y a que l'honnête <a href="http://www.shredderchess.com/chess-program/shredder-11-linux.html">Shredder 11</a> qui puisse être utilisé nativement. Ainsi, notre promenade semble tourner court.</p>
<p>Et pourtant, nous disposons d'un outil « merveilleux » en l'objet de Wine. Et si les logiciels de Chessbase (encore eux) échouent pour la plupart lamentablement (cliquer sur les menus de mon <em>Fritz 9</em> faisait invariablement planter l'application), il est un programme qui, lui, fonctionne impeccablement. C'est le déjà légendaire module d'analyse de Vasik Rajlich... <a href="http://www.rybkachess.com/index.php?auswahl=Home">Rybka</a> ! Le meilleur des moteurs est donc parfaitement fonctionnel sur notre OS. Pour l'utiliser avec Scid il suffit d'adapter le fichier .ini précédent en écrivant notamment en face de <em>EngineCommand</em> quelque chose comme <em>wine /usr/games/rybka.exe</em>.</p>
<p>Notons également que le tout récent Aquarium (interface graphique créée pour Rybka par Convekta) fonctionne aussi bien avec Wine, et est donc exploitable sur GNU/Linux. De même, le bon client <a href="http://www.babaschess.net/">Babaschess</a> peut être utilisé pour jouer en ligne. Je ne l'ai pas testé personnellement, mais il semble que les retours sont <a href="http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&#38;iId=9602">assez positifs</a>.</p>
<p>Ainsi, la situation du jeu d'échecs sur GNU/Linux est finalement loin d'être catastrophique, contrairement à ce que l'on aurait pu penser au premier abord. Malgré les faiblesses évidentes de certaines des solutions proposées, nous pouvons être satisfaits car l'essentiel est préservé : le tryptique Scid/Toga/Eboard présente un réel interêt pour n'importe quel joueur d'échecs (mention spéciale pour Scid, véritable couteau suisse à l'efficacité remarquable). Courage, vous ne devriez pas voir la courbe de progression de votre <a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classement_Elo">classement Elo</a> s'infléchir !</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;">El especial Abogados de la Gaceta de los Negocios incluye una noticia sobre la última inocentada del jefe de prensa de la abogacía valenciana, José Antonio Giménez, en la que informaba sobre el inminente patrocinio de las togas de los letrados por parte de editoriales jurídicas.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Esta noticia contó con la colaboración de los diseñadores de Sanserif Creatius que recrearon un manual de aplicación y modelos de togas con el corporativismo de varias editoriales para acompañar a la noticia publicada el 28 de diciembre. La noticia ha aparecido en las páginas de destacados periódicos de toda España.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tadi pagi saya bersama teman-teman wisudawan ingin mengambil toga dan menandatangani ijazah saya di Rektorat ITB. Sesuai dengan jadwal yang dikeluarkan oleh rektorat, saya dan teman-teman yang lainnya berinisiatif melakukan semua itu saat pertama kali dibuka yakni pada pukul 08.00. Ketika saya sampai rektorat, saya mendapati antrian yang lumayan panjang, tanpa berpikir panjang lagi saya langsung ikut mengantri karena saya melihat teman-teman saya ada dalam antrian itu. Setelah beberapa saat, teman saya yang berada pada antrian paling depan berkata "kita nanti jam 1, ijazah kita belum ditandatangi sama rektor". Namun setelah jam 1 saya kembali lagi kesana dan setelah mengantri selama beberapa saat, saya kembali mendapatkan jawaban yang sama seperti sebelumnya yakni "maaf ternyata rektornya belum selesai juga menandatanginya jadi mungkin baru bisa diambil besok"<br />
<!--more--><br />
Jujur saja saya sangat kecewa dengan keputusan ini. Saya berpikir alasan itu cuma akal-akalan dari pihak tata usaha saja atau memang bisa jadi benar adanya. Itu merupakan alasan yang menurut mereka bisa diterima oleh yang lain. Alasan itu untuk menutupi ketidaksiapan mereka dalam menangani sesuatu. Sebaiknya jika mempunyai jadwal yang sudah <em>fix</em> dan mereka tidak dapat memenuhi apa yang telah dijanjikannya, mereka harus mempersiapkan plan B-nya. Seharusnya mereka sudah mempersiapkan resiko terburuk yang mungkin terjadi dalam pengambilan tersebut.</p>
<p>Well, mungkin pelajaran utama yang dapat diambil dari kejadian ini adalah kita harus mempersiapkan resiko terburuk dari apapun yang kita lakukan.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am laying downstairs in my house where it is cool and relaxing.  My day has been GO GO GO.  The yoga party was a lot of fun.  Unfortunately we had to leave early because we had to wake up early today.</p>
<p>Here are our toga's</p>
<p><a href="http://sweetsandsweats.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/toga12.jpg"><img style="border-right:0;border-top:0;border-left:0;border-bottom:0;" src="http://sweetsandsweats.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/toga12-thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="toga12" width="364" height="484" /></a></p>
<p>I only had one drink at the party---a blueberry vodka with Sierra Mist Free.  I also munched on some pita chips.</p>
<p>On the way home we stopped at 7-11 because Justin wanted a gatorade.  How pleased I was when I found out that was free slurpee day (because it was July 11th).</p>
<p><a href="http://sweetsandsweats.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/slurpee12.jpg"><img style="border-right:0;border-top:0;border-left:0;border-bottom:0;" src="http://sweetsandsweats.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/slurpee12-thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="slurpee12" width="204" height="271" /></a></p>
<p>It was a little kiddie size cup.  Perfect size for me!!! I got a cherry flavor because the crystal light flavor was broken (:( ).  I also had a sweet tooth weakness and got Swedish Fish.  I only had 2 though. </p>
<p><a href="http://sweetsandsweats.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/swedishfish.jpg"><img style="border-right:0;border-top:0;border-left:0;border-bottom:0;" src="http://sweetsandsweats.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/swedishfish-thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="swedishfish" width="354" height="266" /></a></p>
<p>And went to bed.  6AM came WAY too early.  We got to work immediately moving furniture out and such.  People started showing up at a quarter til 7.</p>
<p><strong>Breakfast</strong></p>
<p>I made myself an iced coffee to wake me up.  It was just GFI sugar-free french vanilla mixed with water and ice.</p>
<p><a href="http://sweetsandsweats.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/coffee12.jpg"><img style="border-right:0;border-top:0;border-left:0;border-bottom:0;" src="http://sweetsandsweats.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/coffee12-thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="coffee12" width="254" height="337" /></a></p>
<p>and made a cereal mixture of about 2T swiss museli, some regular oats, kashi go lean, 5 frosted mini wheats and some dried fruit.  I had a small spoonful of natural peanut butter on the side and about 1/4 cup of light soy milk mixed in.  I also had a piece of 100% whole wheat toast with apple butter on it.  I unfortunately looked at the ingredients of the apple butter and it had HFCS.  UGH!  I am going to aim to find some natural AB and chuck this crap.</p>
<p><a href="http://sweetsandsweats.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/cereal12.jpg"><img style="border-right:0;border-top:0;border-left:0;border-bottom:0;" src="http://sweetsandsweats.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/cereal12-thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="cereal12" width="364" height="274" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://sweetsandsweats.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/toast12.jpg"><img style="border-right:0;border-top:0;border-left:0;border-bottom:0;" src="http://sweetsandsweats.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/toast12-thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="toast12" width="254" height="337" /></a></p>
<p>(it isn't burnt, it just looks that way because of the AB)</p>
<p>We did pretty well.  I left around 10:30 and rode my bike up to the farmer's market.  I wandered around forever just looking at all the yummy goodness that has started to come in.  I am thrilled that peaches are in now!!  and corn!!</p>
<p><a href="http://sweetsandsweats.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/farmers-market12.jpg"><img style="border-right:0;border-top:0;border-left:0;border-bottom:0;" src="http://sweetsandsweats.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/farmers-market12-thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="farmers market12" width="354" height="266" /></a></p>
<p>And look at this adorable little guy:</p>
<p><a href="http://sweetsandsweats.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/zuccs12.jpg"><img style="border-right:0;border-top:0;border-left:0;border-bottom:0;" src="http://sweetsandsweats.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/zuccs12-thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="zuccs12" width="354" height="266" /></a></p>
<p>By the end of the yard sale, we made enough money to make it worth getting up early.  Still had quite a bit of stuff that we took to <a href="http://www.planetaid.org/" target="_blank">Planet Aid</a>.  After that, I had to run to a meeting but I didn't have time to really eat.  So I just grabbed food to take with me.</p>
<p><strong>Lunch</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://sweetsandsweats.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/clifbar12.jpg"><img style="border-right:0;border-top:0;border-left:0;border-bottom:0;" src="http://sweetsandsweats.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/clifbar12-thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="clifbar12" width="354" height="266" /></a></p>
<p>I had half a clif bar (chocolate chip) and a plum.</p>
<p><a href="http://sweetsandsweats.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/plum12.jpg"><img style="border-right:0;border-top:0;border-left:0;border-bottom:0;" src="http://sweetsandsweats.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/plum12-thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="plum12" width="354" height="266" /></a></p>
<p>Then yesterday evening, I was going to see Brad Paisley (with Jewel) along with 2 of my girlfriends.  Before I left the house I knew I hadn't eaten much during the day, so I threw together a snack.  I had 1/2 cup of cottage cheese with 1/2 a banana and some (farmer's market) cantaloupe.  I put a little apple butter on top because Justin always says he likes AB with cottage cheese.  I am not sold on this combination.</p>
<p><a href="http://sweetsandsweats.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/cottagecheese12.jpg"><img style="border-right:0;border-top:0;border-left:0;border-bottom:0;" src="http://sweetsandsweats.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/cottagecheese12-thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="cottagecheese12" width="354" height="266" /></a></p>
<p>I also had 2 100% whole grain sesame crackers with hummus spread on one and 1/2T of peanut butter on the other.</p>
<p><a href="http://sweetsandsweats.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/crackers12.jpg"><img style="border-right:0;border-top:0;border-left:0;border-bottom:0;" src="http://sweetsandsweats.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/crackers12-thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="crackers12" width="354" height="266" /></a></p>
<p>and out the door I went.  We had an amazing time at Brad Paisley.  I had 2 beers (the remaining Ultra's from Friday night) before we went in.  I snacked on some Honey Wheat pretzel braids and rice crisp while tailgating.  Right after walking in, these guys that work for Brad Paisley came up to us and said that they are given front row tickets to give to girl's every night.  So we ended up being right front row.  It made me feel like a groupie (especially seeing I didn't know a single song) but it was a lot of fun being that close.  I LOVED being that close for Jewel.  I was amazed how fit/muscular she was.  She wasn't in anyway a teeny Hollywood girl.  You could tell she lifts some weights, which I enjoyed.  I had 2 drinks while at the concert--another beer and a margarita.   Alice and I split a soft pretzel.</p>
<p>I didn't eat a whole lot on Saturday.  Just kind of snack throughout the day with out any real 'meal' except for breakfast.  Probably wasn't the best idea and I have felt off all day today (sunday) because of it.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#000000;"><span>Aku dan teman-teman KKN sudah 5 hari di Dusun Jetisan terhitung tanggal 1 Juli. Hari pertama kami habiskan untuk beres-beres pondokan agar “layak” untuk ditinggali selama 2 bulan kedepan. Pondokan kami adalah sebuah rumah joglo yang biasa digunakan untuk acara pertemuan ibu-ibu PKK, tempat kumpul-kumpul warga, sekaligus sebagai posyandu (balita dan lansia). Maka tidak heran dinding-dinding kayu rumah ini dihiasi dengan poster-poster<span> </span>imbauan, sosialisasi KB, ibu menyusui, kampanye linkungan, dan data-data statistic yang direpresentasikan dalam grafik dan tabel dan ga ketinggalan yang satu ini : peta dusun.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#000000;"><span>Setelah beberapa kali melakukan rapat <span> </span>intern unit dan subunit KKN untuk memantapkan program yang<span> </span>akan kami jalani selama KKN, akhirnya kami melakukan sosialisasi dengan warga setempat. Kebetulan subunit Jetisan yang pertama mengadakan pertemuan dengan warga yang diwakili pemuka-nya untuk mensosialisasikan program KKN. Alhamdulillah sebagian yang diundang datang, paling tidak ada respons baik dari warga terhadap ‘pendatang baru’.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#000000;"><span>Aku ditodong jadi MC untuk acara kali ini, alasannya : agar acara berlangsung dalam bahasa Indonesia, karena biasanya acara-acara dikampung menggunakan bahasa <em>kromo inggil</em>, jawa halus banget. Acara pertama yaitu pembukaan, dibuka dengan kalimat <em>basmallah</em> dengan harapan acara berjalan dengan lancar. Kemudian dilanjutkan dengan perkenalan baik peserta KKN dan beberapa pemuka masyarakat.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#000000;"><span>Masuk pada acara inti yaitu sosialisasi program KKN. Tema utama kami adalah Pemberdayaan Toga (Tanaman Obat Keluarga) dan Pengelolaan Sampah Terpadu yang kegiatannya dijabarkan sebagai berikut :</span></span><!--more--></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#000000;"><strong><span>Peningkatan Mutu SDM :</span></strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:0.25in;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span>Pelatihan komputer; Bimbingan belajar mata pelajaran, TPA, dan kesenian; Melengkapi perpustakaan SD</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#000000;"><strong><span>Pengoloaan sampah :</span></strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:0.25in;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span>Pengelolaan sampah : (1) Perencanaan, (2) Sosialisasi, (3) Pemasangan prasarana; Pembuatan kompos</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#000000;"><strong><span>Peningkatan Kesehatan Masyarakat :</span></strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:0.25in;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span>TOGA (penyuluhan dan penanaman), Hidup sehat : sikat gigi masal, dokter kecil, apotek hidup, dll</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#000000;"><strong><span>Peningkatan produksi dan Pemanfaatan hasil pertanian :</span></strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:0.25in;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span>Pengolahan salak, dan hasil pertanian (minim modal), Pestisida nabati, Pembibitan, EXPO pertanian</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#000000;"><strong><span>Administrasi desa :</span></strong></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#000000;"><span>Setelah program dijabarkan acara selanjutnya adalah diskusi. Banyak saran dan informasi dari warga yang sangat berguna untuk pelaksanaan program kami nanti. Misalnya informasi jadwal kegiatan rutin warga mulai dari PKK, Pemuda Desa, Remaja Mesjid, dan rapat-rapat RT. Ini penting, agar kegiatan kami bisa berjalan beriringan dengan warga, masuk dan berbaur dengan mereka untuk mempermudah penerimaan, pelaksanaan, dan keberhasilan <span> </span>program. <span> </span>Harapan besarnya ada interaksi “saling menguntungkan” antara kami dan warga disini.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Setelah ucapan terimakasih telah hadir dan masukan2 dari warga maka acara pun ditutup dengan ucapan <em>hamdallah</em>. Semoga kehadiran kami disini dapat memberikan manfaat baik untuk kami maupun untuk warga. Amin. <em>Wassalamualaikumwarohmatullohiwabarokatuh...</em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#808080;">*wah mohon maaf sekali, post kali ini tidak disertai dengan foto2 kegiatan, karena foto2 belum terkumpul (ga bawa kamera sendiri :(  jadi fotonya nyusul aja*</span></p>

Além de ser um ótimo presente para o formando, serve como uma lembrança e decoração para a vida toda.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear Crazy, Infection-Ridden, Dog-Infatuated, Probably Homeless Lady Who Roams Central Park West:</p>
<p>Whoever you are under that low-quality wig of dreadlocks, thank you.</p>
<p>You'd think New Yorkers would be used to anything, and not glance twice when they see an emotionally warped man of my chiseled looks walk out of his luxury condo in a toga and laurels.  I guess we never live in a society as progressive as we'd like—I've certainly tried to put pressure on what constitutes "normal" in my lifetime, but maybe I'd given up trying to push it there, defiantly eschewing the need to fit in, even to my own detriment.</p>
<p>But then along you came, wearing those plastic vampire teeth that I can only assume are your cheap replacements for the genuine article, showing off that bed bug-infested inside-out fur coat, and suddenly exploding from inaudible mutters into an incoherent scream of "Time was to get busy, PLEASE!!"  Which never fails to speed up the gait of passersby.  </p>
<p>Also, your tendency to act as though you're about to kidnap people's shi tzus makes them visibly panicked.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://caligulaversusnero.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/leona_helmsley-1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-148 aligncenter" src="http://caligulaversusnero.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/leona_helmsley-1.jpg" alt="" width="199" height="294" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>I'm like 80% sure our neighborhood's crazy dog lady </em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>isn't the ghost of Leona Helmsley</em></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">I'm not a man prone to hyperbole, but you are quite literally America's greatest hero, nay, doused in godliness.  Because of your wrestling matches with park benches, nobody even seems to notice a harmless eccentric like yours truly these days.  It seems that after an estimable tenure, I've passed the torch on to another challenger of the status quo.  Oh, sure, you can't take the twisted decadence out of me—I'm the same soulless void I always was. But a new generation is ready to follow in my footsteps, helming the ship en route to an oblivion of the cruelly absurd and absurd cruelty.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Dog-licking: why didn't I think of that!</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">With rapturous admiration,</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Caligula</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"> </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://ephaey.wordpress.com/wp-includes/js/tinymce-143/plugins/media/img/trans.gif" alt="" width="425" height="355" /></p>
<p>Saturday, May 17 eph / aey staged a public intervention in New York's Union Square.  This act of collective imagination attempted to create a tear in the space-time continuum to transport performers and passers-by alike backward in time and eastward in space approximately 2500 years and 5000 miles.</p>
<p>Passers-by were encouraged to don togas, provided by eph /aey productions, and / or to engage in a dialogue with the performers.  The toga walk was followed by a symbolic Greek sacrifice.  Participants gathered in a circle and chanted a passage from Homer's poem The Iliad in ancient Greek; this was followed by a recitation by eph / aey of a poem comprised exclusively of textual documents collected around Union Square</p>
<p>Union Square Agora is concurrently a singular act in the history of the use of Union Square as a public space, and a deliberate act of decenetring / recentering of that history.  Furthermore Union Square Agora is alive in the conscious and subconsious memories of those who witnessed and in the displaced memories of those who heard and read about it after the fact.  It grows out of the discourse it creates.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This portrait bust of Julius Caesar has been found at the bottom of the Rhone River at Arles, France.<br />
<a href="http://100falcons.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/arles-caesar.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-149" src="http://100falcons.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/arles-caesar.jpg?w=285" alt="" width="241" height="254" /></a></p>
<p>Archaeologists believe it was sculpted while he was still alive, perhaps two years before his assassination.  Since it is clearly not an idealized portrait but a study from life, the bust shows what Caesar really looked like.</p>
<p>It has forced many to re-consider their hero.<br />
“He doesn't look like the kind of guy who would let himself get assassinated or worry about adjusting his garments in death,” said one scholar. “This Caesar image has close set eyes and a pugilistic face, possibly affected by the bust's damaged nose. Not the smooth intellectual face of someone who was famous for using clemency toward his defeated enemies as a political tool.”</p>
<p>Yet others see the portrait as a fine illustration (nature's) of the general who conquered Gaul, created a Civil War, and became Dictator. He was no romantic. Clemency was a political tool and there were times when he opted for others (a club). Read Suetonius and see how brutal he could be.</p>
<p>All the extant portraits but one were known to have been carved after Caesar's death and were therefore artists' inventions.</p>
<p>A favorite one has always been this noble head in the Vatican Museum.<br />
<a href="http://100falcons.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/vatican-caesar.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-151" src="http://100falcons.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/vatican-caesar.jpg" alt="" width="151" height="264" /></a>Bust of Caesar in the Vatican Collection</p>
<p>An engraving of its profile was used as a frontispiece for James Anthony Froude's famous Victorian biography. He admires Caesar no end and denies or justifies and forgives all the evil deeds Suetonius and others record. In his last chapter Froude even compares him to Jesus Christ.  Froude saw all his hero's almost supernatural virtues reflected in this Vatican Museum portrait.<br />
<a href="http://100falcons.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/caesar-froud-1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-152" src="http://100falcons.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/caesar-froud-1.jpg" alt="" width="207" height="299" /></a>Frontispiece of Froude's <em>Caesar: A Sketch<br />
</em><br />
The one bust that was known to have been carved in Caesar's lifetime has usually been  ignored.  It is so realistic it seems crude. It shows too definite a man and one who does not seem to embody all those mythical qualities of the hero, at least the likeable ones. Its profile is slightly more satisfying.</p>
<p><a href="http://100falcons.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/turin-caesar1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-154" src="http://100falcons.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/turin-caesar1.jpg?w=171" alt="" width="171" height="300" /></a><br />
<span style="color:#ffffff;">.</span><a href="http://100falcons.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/caesar-turin-profile.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-155" src="http://100falcons.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/caesar-turin-profile.jpg?w=195" alt="" width="184" height="282" /></a><span style="color:#ffffff;">.</span>Turin bust front and profile</p>
<p><a href="http://100falcons.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/caesar-coin1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-157" src="http://100falcons.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/caesar-coin1.jpg" alt="" width="241" height="241" /></a><span style="color:#ffffff;"><span style="color:#000000;">This is a coin minted during Caesar's brief period as dictator. In common with nearly all the other portraits, it shows his long, thin neck with deep parallel furrows, perhaps scars of some kind. The large eyes must be only an artistic device.</span></span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This just in from my friend Talia:</p>
<p>What is the function of public space in the 21st century? In what ways have our understanding and use of public space evolved over the past two or three millennia? In what ways have they remained constant?</p>
<p>We would like to invite you to join us in celebrating the release of the May / June neighborhood-themed issue of <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.nymoon.com/" target="_blank">The </a><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.nymoon.com/" target="_blank">New York Moon</a> <strong>Saturday, May 17, 2008 at 3.00 pm in Union Square </strong>by participating in a collective effort to imagine what Union Square might be like as an ancient Greek agora.</p>
<p>1. We begin our collective imagining very simply: by convincing as many people as possible to participate in a <strong>toga walk</strong>--that is, to put on togas (a white sheet will do) and walk through the stalls of the market in Union Square.</p>
<p>2. Following the toga walk we will be conducting two other <strong>performances </strong>that concern themselves with the way we make use of our public space in the 21st century and encourage audience participation.</p>
<p>3. Finally, in the spirit of the agora as a place built on the principles of public discourse and the exchange of ideas, we invite <strong>anybody who is interested</strong> to contribute to the discussion of public urban spaces in absolutely anyway that inspires them--be it a reading, a performance, an installation, etc.<br />
<strong><br />
PLEASE forward this email to anybody in NY who you think might want to join us</strong></p>
<p><strong></p>
<p>How to Participate</strong></p>
<p>1. <strong>Togas togas togas</strong>! We need as many people in togas as possible. Come out in a toga! Get your friends to come out in togas. In addition, we need lots of extra togas (sheets) to hand out to passers-by. We are hoping to collect dozens of extra togas that will be distributed and recollected at each end of the market. Bring your old linens or let us know of a place that is giving away old linens that we could collect before the 17th.</p>
<p>We will also need several <strong>volunteers</strong> to help in the distribution and collection of togas.</p>
<p>2. <strong>Performances</strong>. In addition to a toga-clad audience, we are looking for a dozen or so <strong>volunteers / actors</strong> to participate in the performances.</p>
<p>3. <strong>Come in a toga - do your own thing. </strong>Exploit an interested, toga-clad audience.</p>
<p>4. Visit our wiki and contribute to the discussion: <a href="http://theagorainunionsquare.wetpaint.com/" target="_blank">http://TheAgoraInUnionSquare.wetpaint.com</a></p>
<p>If you are interested in participating please contact Aaron Finbloomaaron (dot) finbloom (at) gmail (dot) com</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Toga</strong> adalah pakaian berbentuk jubah yang digunakan oleh laki-laki pada zaman Romawi kuno, sedangkan wanitanya memakai jubah yang disebut Stola.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Toga</strong> dan<strong> Stola</strong> ini dikemudian hari berkembang menjadi sandangan para bijak dan pendeta yang dimodifikasi menjadi lebih rapi dan dinamakan <strong>Vestimentum</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Vestimentum atau Toga bagi para bijak dan pendeta dipakai untuk membedakan mereka dari orang-orang awam, namun juga dipakai pada perhelatan<em> ceremonial</em> yang agung. Maka sejak saat itulah Toga dipakai untuk upacara-upacara dan penobatan.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Bila sekarang para lulusan di seluruh dunia mengenakan Toga pada hari wisudanya, itu disimbolkan, bahwa para wisudawan sudah bertambah ilmunya dan dengan bertambahnya ilmu maka bertambah bijaksanalah mereka seperti para bijak dan pendeta terdahulu yang akan selalu menjaga perdamaian.
