Part two of the three part series. Here is Part 1.
How Much Solar Energy is Available?
The next step is determine the amount of solar energy available at the deployment site. This consists of three main components: the angle and timing of sun (which can be calculated for any location on earth based on the latitude, longitude and date), the meteorological effects (which can be calculated for areas near a weather station based on historical data), and the shading effects of the local topography (which generally requires prior access to the deployment site and specialized equipment).
Calculating Peak Sun Hours (PSH)
The most important figure to calculate for your potential site is the Peak Sun Hours (PSH) per day. This is not a simple measure of daylight hours but rather the equivalent number hours of an amount of standardized solar radiation (1 kW/m2). In the graph below, the red line shows the amount of solar radiation received during a day. The blue line show the equivalent number of PSH. The area under both curves is the same, but since PSH is in standardized units (the same standards that solar panel manufacturers use to rate their panels) this number can be used to choose a solar panel appropriate to your application.
While there are maps showing peak sun hours for various locations, they are not always useful for remote installations. They often show only highly populated areas like the continental US or Western Europe. More importantly, they generally show the yearly average peak sun hours. This can be useful for determining the economic feasibility of a long-term residential site. It would be very expensive for a solar home to size it's panels based on the worst month of the year since it would have unused excess capacity for the rest of year; instead they generally design for the average and supplement the solar power with wind, diesel generators or a grid connection during the lean months. Since a remote autonomous installation does not have these options, we must design for the worst month of the year (or for a short term deployment, the worst month of the deployment).
Optimizing for Solar Angle
While most guides recommend either setting the angle of the solar panel to the location's latitude in degrees or adjusting the angle several times throughout the year, neither of these are suitable for this application since the site will be unattended and we need to design for the worst month rather than the average. Set the angle to get the maximum benefit at solar noon on the winter solstice (December 22 in the northern hemisphere), or the day of your deployment that is closest to the winter solstice if it is less than a full year. This angle can be found by the formula A = L – (23.45° × sin(T ÷ 365.25 × 360°)), where L is the latitude of the installation, T is the number of days from spring equinox (March 21st), and A is the ideal panel angle for that day. Alternatively, websites like SunCalc can be used to determine the angle of the sun to the ground (referred to as the altitude) for any given location, date and time. The azimuth is the compass angle the panel should point, which is generally due south (though when doing the installation, be sure to correct for the local magnetic declination at your site).
You may have little control over the placement of the data collection site, but ideally it will have no large buildings, trees or other obstructions blocking the view of the south-east to south-west horizon (if located in the northern hemisphere; north-east to north-west horizon for the southern hemisphere). If there are obstructions that cannot be removed, you may want to consider moving to higher ground if possible, or mounting your solar panels on a pole to minimize the effect of shading from the obstructions. It is difficult to quantify the effect of shading without specialized equipment, however there is an Android app available called "Scan the Sun" which uses your phone's camera, GPS and compass to perform a decent site analysis including shading calculations.
The calculations for daily peak sun hours (or solar insolation) are complex to perform manually. Fortunately there are many calculators available on-line. One of the best regarded is the PVWatts Calculator provided by the U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory. While it was designed primarily for residential installations within the United States, it works well for any location worldwide. The calculator initially asks for a street address as a location, but if you enter an address near to your desired location, you can manually drag the marker to an "off-grid" location. Weather data from the nearest available weather station is used to compute the meteorological effects.
In the "System Info" screen, you can select a PV panel size (the minimum is 0.05 kW or 50 W) and panel type. Array should be "Fixed (open rack)". You can accept the recommended tilt angle and azimuth or enter the optimized angles you calculated in the earlier stage. The economic parameters are not applicable and can be left blank. The "System Loses" can be refined if you know these values for your system or you can just accept the defaults. Under "Advanced Parameters", since we are running a DC-only system, set the "DC to AC Size Ratio" to 1 and the efficiency to 99.5% (the highest the software allows).
You can then go the Results page and see a summary showing the solar radiation for each month in kWh/m2/day (also known as Peak Sun Hours per day). The column marked "AC Energy" is the useable energy produced for that month after system losses in kWh. We calculated earlier that our sample system needs 74.4Wh per day. Multiplying by 30, this system would need 2232 Wh or 2.2 kWh per month. If the energy produced in the worst month of our deployment is less than 2.2 kWh, we can go back to the System Info and select a larger panel, then check the results again. More detailed monthly and hourly results can be downloaded in CSV format.
Another on-line calculator with fewer options but easier to use can be found at the Solar Electricity Handbook website. It does not allow latitude/longitude input but has settings for most major cities worldwide.

My favorite times of year in general are holidays or any event that allows for at least a mild sense of spirit or fashionable celebration. It's the little things like heart shaped patriotic sunglasses that really make each day feel important. Am I right? So each year brings a small shift in my stylistic patriotism. I took a step back with these looks and toned down the gaudiness in my 28th year. Maybe I'm just getting old? But, while wrapping yourself in the American flag seems like an appropriate fashion statement, sometimes slappin' on some rouge can make you feel just as spirited. It's a holiday so you can typically get away with more outlandish apparel and accessories so don't be afraid to turn it up (or down) for the 4th. And most importantly, "do you" this weekend.

While film studies has traditionally treated the presence of the city in film as an urban text operating inside of a cinematic one, this approach has recently evolved into the study of cinema as a technology of place. From this perspective, Documenting Cityscapes explores the way the city has been depicted by nonfiction filmmakers since the late 1970s, paying particular attention to three aesthetic tendencies: documentary landscaping, urban self-portraits, and metafilmic strategies.
Through the formal analysis of fifteen works from six different countries, this volume investigates how the rise of subjectivity has helped to develop a kind of gaze that is closer to citizens than to the institutions and corporations responsible for recent major transformations. Documenting Cityscapes therefore reveals the extent to which cinema has become an agent of urban change, in which certain films not only challenge the most controversial policies of late capitalism but also are able to produce spatiality themselves.
Works covered: One Way Boogie Woogie / 27 Years Later (James Benning, 2004), Los (James Benning, 2000), L.A.X. (Fabrice Ziolkowski, 1980), Thames Film (William Raban, 1986), London (Patrick Keiller, 1994), News from Home (Chantal Akerman, 1977), Lost Book Found (Jem Cohen, 1996), Lightning Over Braddock (Tony Buba, 1988), Roger & Me (Michael Moore, 1989), Les hommes du port (Alain Tanner, 1995), Of Time and the City (Terrence Davies, 2008), Porto da Minha Infancia (Porto of My Childhood) (Manoel de Oliviera, 2001), My Winnipeg (Guy Maddin, 2007), The Decay of Fiction (Pat O'Neill, 2002), Los Angeles Plays Itself (Thom Andersen, 2003).

These days, keeping up with all of Google's search algorithm changes is harder than Chuck Norris's abs. For example, there is one algorithm named Hummingbird that goes through hundreds or even thousands of small changes each year. The vast majority of these changes are imperceptible even to SEO experts. However, there are always a few major updates a year where everyone in the SEO industry sits up and takes notice. This blog post will cover the 5 largest changes to the algorithm in 2015. Enjoy!
The first major update to Google's search algorithm came on April 21st, a day SEOs fondly refer to as 'Mobilegeddon'. Google's Mobile-Friendly Update gives a boost to websites that are deemed mobile-friendly by Google. In order for a website to be mobile-friendly, it needs to pass the following rules, per Google's blog post on the subject:
- Avoids software that is not common on mobile devices, like Flash
- Uses text that is readable without zooming
- Sizes content to the screen so users don't have to scroll horizontally or zoom
- Places links far enough apart so that the correct one can be easily tapped
Websites that followed these rules received a boost in mobile search results. Now that there are more mobile searches on Google in 10 countries (including the United States) than desktop, websites need to make sure that they can pass Google's Mobile-Friendly Test. If your site does not pass this test, I strongly recommend taking a long hard look at it and evaluating how you can make these fixes.
Additionally, mobile search results have been gradually distinguishing themselves from desktop results, and this divergence is even more pronounced after the mobile update. In June of 2014 BrightEdge stated that mobile results were 62% different than desktop results, and this has only grown since. It has become clear that simply optimizing your desktop site isn't enough to really run a complete SEO campaign – you need to also have all of your technical and usability ducks in a row.
It should also be noted that Google is now penalizing mobile websites that immediately serve an interstitial that prompts users to download their app. Make sure your website isn't doing that as well! This update came a few months after Mobilegeddon, but should still be noted when evaluating your mobile site.
Phantom II
Phantom II was a stealth update in late April/early May that targeted low-quality pages, with many sites gaining or losing upwards of 20% of their organic traffic. Google did not confirm this update until a few weeks after it was released, but industry experts were able to see the effects immediately.
As stated, Phantom II was a quality update that penalized sites with thin or unhelpful content, similar to Panda. However, Phantom II looks for different quality signals than Panda does: Phantom II is all about user experience. So, things like autoplay videos and popup ads, poorly designed pages (poorly designed, not ugly; ugly pages generally won't be penalized by Google), as well as thin or duplicate content may result in a visit from Phantom II. Other studies have suggested that sites with 'tag pages' saw significant ranking decreases, along with directory sites.
In order to fight off the Phantom, you need to take a close look at your website and its content. Visit your site as if you were a regular user and evaluate your experience. Are you constantly being bombarded by ads and videos? Remove them. Is your site confusing or difficult to navigate? It's time to change up your site structure. Does your content provide unique or useful information? If it doesn't, you need to evaluate why and then develop a plan to change that.
Panda 4.2
This is far from the first time we've seen Panda, but in mid-July, the Panda 4.2 rollout began. Unlike other Panda updates, Google stated that for 'technical reasons' this update would take several months for its presence to be totally felt. What this means for webmasters is that Panda recoveries or penalties could happen at any time, thus making it more difficult to know if a site was affected by the update. Additionally, while Panda has previously affected entire sites, this time, it is affecting pages on a page-by-page basis, thus making it even more difficult to observe.
Luckily, Panda 4.2 apparently doesn't introduce any incredibly different wrinkles to the update, meaning that if you were already following Panda's best practices, you won't need to make any changes. Essentially, your content needs to be valuable, in-depth, and relevant. If you are still struggling with Panda though, I highly recommend checking out this awesome infographic on how you can please the Panda. Making great content is, unfortunately, more difficult than you might imagine.
Very little is known about Google's RankBrain, other than it uses artificial intelligence to filter search results. Nobody outside of Google knew what RankBrain was until Bloomberg broke the story in late October. In that story, Google revealed that the AI has become the 3rd most important ranking factor in determining search results. RankBrain has been active for several months now.
RankBrain is already better at predicting what the top result for a search query is than experts at Google. Google experts predict the top result 70% of the time; RankBrain predicts it 80% of the time. Because of this, it is likely that its importance will continue to grow as it becomes more sophisticated.
So, you might be asking how exactly RankBrain works. Google provided an example of a search query that it might help with: "What's the title of the consumer at the highest level of a food chain?" RankBrain can help simplify long-tail search queries like this and still provide excellent results that will answer the question.
Because there is such little information about how RankBrain works we, unfortunately, can't properly react to it. For now, just stay posted for new information about the AI.
Phantom III
Phantom III was the final major update of the year. It was not officially confirmed by Google, but experts across the industry saw significant fluctuation in search traffic to their sites as well as keyword rankings, indicating a major algorithm change.
One of the major factors Phantom III went after was low-quality content. Search queries are now turning up pages that are extremely focused and relevant to the query. While before it was possible for sites to rank for hundreds of keywords without specifically targeting them, Phantom III seems to make ranking for keywords the site isn't optimized around much more difficult.
While Phantom II indiscriminately punished duplicate content, this update was a little more selective; in some context, duplicate content made sense, such as for dictionaries, transcripts, and lyrics. Of course, if a site had duplicate content when it shouldn't have, it likely saw keyword drops.
Thanks for reading all the way through, and I hope this review was helpful! When you're planning your SEO efforts for 2016, make sure you don't forget everything that happened this year. Let me know in the comments below if there were any other updates you think people should remember!

Garfield County hotels

Tropic Trailhead Sign
I visited southern Utah in late November, 2012, during some remarkably wonderful weather (mostly clear skies and temperatures in the upper 50's). I chose to stay at the Stone Canyon Inn for two reasons: 1) the location to the east side of Bryce Canyon NP and the Tropic Trail and 2) the very good traveler information on the Stone Canyon website.
I drove up from Zion NP. On the way, I hiked the short, but scenic, Arches Trail in Red Canyon. This late-afternoon hike was full of great rewards and well off the beaten path (i.e., no fellow visitors at all). This is a family-friendly trail and a good alternative to the crowds at Bryce Canyon during peak season (and not a long drive from Stone Canyon Inn).
I was immediately welcomed by Dixie and Mike Burbidge and made to feel at home. Although I had planned out my hikes for the next two days, I received valuable information from Dixie on specific things to watch for. Additionally, she did a little salesmanship and convinced me NOT to do my second hike in Red Canyon, but instead, take an additional hike in Bryce on another trail.
The next morning, after a wonderful breakfast at the Inn, I set out on my first hike: a bottom-up view of Bryce Canyon via the Tropic Trail. From the Stone Canyon Inn, one drives about 2½ miles down Bryce Way (southwest, away from Tropic) until it dead ends at the boundary of the Park. Entry into the park is via a small ladder over the barbed wire fence. A sign notes "TROPIC TRAIL, SUNSET POINT 2.8 MI., SUNRISE POINT 3.6 MI."
The Tropic Trail is a little-used, but well-maintained trail that follows Bryce Creek (dry during my hike) to the base of several popular trails in the park. It cuts east-west through the Ponderosa pine and juniper and, to the north, offers glimpses of what's in store. The trail runs about 1.6 miles to the first trail junction which takes you to either the Navajo or Peek-a-boo loops.
On this hike, I took the Wall Street section of the Navajo Loop up to Sunset Point and had a short break there (enjoying the extra breakfast pastry from the Inn!). I then made my way to Sunrise Point and then down the Queen's Garden trail. There was a surprise in the forested area of that trail that I won't describe here, but has only been there for a couple of years, according to Dixie. You'll want to spend a little extra time looking around; it was fun to see!
I followed the Queen's Garden trail back to the Navajo Trail junction and then from there back to the Tropic Trail and out. The total hike was around eight miles, round-trip, with several side excursions along the way.
Because of the beautiful weather and clear skies, I set out before sun up the next day in order to watch the sunrise from within the park. Again, I hiked the Tropic Trail (with a headlamp) but then headed northwest on a horse trail about 1.2 miles on the way. This crosses the Bryce Creek wash and then makes several switchbacks up a ridge that faces the Queen's Garden amphitheater. Standing alone in the crisp, cold silence of the park and experiencing this view was truly amazing and well worth the four-mile round trip hike.
I got back in time for breakfast, during which we were all entertained by Mike's wonderful presentations of cowboy poetry ("Cowboy Time" was appropriate!). Then I was further entertained as I watched Dixie show fellow guests various hand-drawn maps of great trips and hiking in the area.
I set off on my third hike into Bryce - again via the Tropic Trail - this time up the western side of Peek-a-Boo loop and to Bryce Point. This was Dixie's suggested hike to me. It was a little more difficult, seeing as there was over 1400' of ascent on the way up! But Dixie was right: the view at Bryce Point was breathtaking and was all-the-more worth it for having made the trek on foot.
I had lunch, helped take a few photos for fellow visitors, then made my way down and then on to the eastern side of Peek-a-Boo loop and back to the Tropic trail head. Total distance was just over nine miles.
I can't say enough good words about Dixie, Mike, and their family, who were all so gracious to us travelers during Thanksgiving. I am very much looking forward to returning and staying again at Stone Canyon Inn and visiting the beautiful vistas that southern Utah has to offer.
PS I would be remiss if I didn't also mention Bryce (my name), the stray cat that made himself at home at Stone Canyon Inn. He greeted me each time I returned to the Inn and I hope he makes a home there!

Printed in the Iowa City Press-Citizen, Dec. 4, 2009
Our View - Approve curfew and look for other solutions
Back in September, we added ourselves to the list of reluctant converts to a citywide curfew. And we're pleased that the list now seems to include a slim majority of the Iowa City Council -- even if one of the council members said it was one of the toughest decisions he's had to make as an elected official.
On Tuesday -- after hearing from organizers of the Safe Neighborhoods of Iowa City coalition as well as from a number of southeast-side residents -- the council voted 4-3 to approve the curfew's second reading. The third reading, the final hurdle for the ordinance to clear before being passed into law, will be put on the agenda for Dec. 14, the current council's final meeting of the year before gaining two new members.
"As a standalone tool, a curfew is pointless," said Councilor Mike Wright, who voted in favor of the curfew. "As part of a package, it may have something to offer to Iowa City."
That "package" needs to build on the hard work being done by the Safe Neighborhoods coalition. Volunteers from the relatively new organization have spent the past few weeks knocking on more than 1,000 doors on the southeast side and completing about 350 surveys in which residents explain what they would like to see done to improve the neighborhoods. The results of those surveys still are being tabulated and analyzed.
The curfew alone, of course, won't address the root causes behind many of the high-profile incidents this year -- such as a nearly 60-person brawl on Hollywood Boulevard on Mother's Day, reports of shots fired on Lakeside Drive and Regal Lane on Aug. 5, and a homicide investigation of a landlord found dead at Broadway Condominiums. Many of the worst incidents took place during daylight or early evening hours, and many of the teens involved already were under curfew restrictions through the juvenile courts.
Yet the curfew seems a tempered and appropriate response to residents' concerns. Police officials say that it could be a "helpful tool" in responding to the neighborhood problems identified by southeast residents. And some parents report that it could give them more leverage over their children's behavior.
Besides, the restrictions are hardly draconian. Kids younger than 14 have to be off the streets by 10 p.m.; 14- and 15-year-olds by 11 p.m.; 16- and 17-year-olds by midnight. The ordinance is full of justifiable exemptions, and police say they plan to issue citations only as a last resort -- after verbal warnings and other strategies have been used.
We urge the existing council -- at its last meeting of the year -- to give its final approval to the curfew. Then, after Councilors-elect Susan Mims and Terry Dickens are seated in January, the new council can continue looking at more long-term solutions.

Microsoft Isn't Interested in Hardware, But It Is
"I have no idea why a software company would buy a hardware company. We don't want to buy any hardware companies," Ballmer told the American Chamber of Commerce in the Egyptian capital, as reported by Reuters.
Ballmer's comments were given in response to a question about . Ballmer has already said he
But Ballmer's comments are also a bit odd, given that one of Sun's top engineers, Marc Tremblay, left the company earlier this month to join Sun as part of its Strategic Software/Silicon Architectures group, responsible for overseeing the software giant's relationship with chip giants like Intel.
As some have speculated, including The Register, Microsoft seems to simply be acquiring talent to ensure that its Windows operating systems work as optimally as possible with multicore machines. Sun began work on multicore processors in 1995 with the MAJC dual-core Java processor, which the company shipped in 2000. Sun began shipping "Niagara" UltraSparc T1 processors with 8 cores and 32 threads per chip in 2005.
Microsoft also influenced the design of the microprocessor inside of its Xbox 360 video game console, which also is a three-core microprocessor that uses the IBM PowerPC architecture.

The brain of the orchestra Angel Tichaliev (also founder of the Karandila Gypsy Brass Orchestra of 20 years ago), who is also its musician, composer, and conductor, created a mesmerizing new perspective of almost forgotten old gypsy melodies of his ancestors, combining the new arrangements with young exceptional musicians from Sliven in Bulgaria.
Vibrations guaranteed when the eleven professional musicians take off –
with their traditional and modern gypsy rhythms, bittersweet music full
of joy and tragedy. The groove of the Balkan goes under your skin –
and very much into your legs: 'Rock your bones'.With their brass instruments the ten-member gypsy band AGO 'Angels Gipsy Orchestra' from Sliven presents traditional and modern gypsy rhythms – an expressive experience in Orient tradition.
This music simultaneously radiates joy and tragedy – a bittersweet taste. In the different symbols of playing – wedding or travelling, landscape and colours – pictures of melancholy are developing – a song without words. In the freeedom and in the virtuousity of the musicians the touching lyrics of nomads are awakening.
The AGO was founded to revive the old Roma tradition of the brass orchestra in a new way. A music which includes the substance of wedding music as well as the influences of jazz is developing.
The conductor Angel Ticherliev and founder of AGO alreay played in one of the most famous bands of this kind – Southwind (Sliven) – in the 80s.
In 1996 he founded the famous Gypsy Brass Orchestra KARANDILA.
In 2007 Angel created his own music school teaching young gypsy musicians for free to preserve the traditions of his ancestors. The Angels Gypsy Music School got famous with his band KARANDILA JUNIOR.Angel Ticherliev wrote, create the music and headed KARANDILA GYPSY BRASS ORCHESTRA for more then 20 years. His story is the history also of the band KARANDILA.On invitation of Canel+ of France which made a documentary on the Bulgarian gypsies they realized a soundtrack in 1998 and also played in the film. The music of 'Gypsy Summer' was realeased on KUKER MUSIC in Bulgaria in 1999.
In June 1999 the group performed with the clarinet player Ivo Papasov on the Jazz Across The Border Festival in Berlin with great success.
At the beginning of 1999 Karandila played together with the most important jazz pianist Milcho Leviev and presented his music. In summer 2000 concerts with Goran Bregovic followed.
An extraordinary performance took place in 2001/2 when Karandila played in several performances in Kalman's "Gräfin Mariza" in the Wiener Volksoper. For the first time an ordinary band managed to climb the classical stage – a Revolution. Thus the group managed a further musical highlight which was accompanied with many appraising reviews. 'Revolution' is also the CD Karandila recorded in Vienna at this time – a collection of workers' and revolutionary songs recorded in the unique gypsy style.
Karandila also performed successfully at the EUROPALIA.
Since 2003 Karandila has been touring with an extraordinary guest – the singer ANITA KRISTI, whose great voice is a special highlight of the concert.
Karandila has taken part in many festivals:
Tilburg Gypsy Festival, Prague Gypsy Festival, Mulhouse Jazz Festival, Palmengarten Frankfurt am Main, Salzburg Balkan Festival, Europalia, Balkanfeever Wien, Innsbruck Fest der Träume, Antwerpen Summer, Liege, Stuttgart Lab Festival, St.Wendel Jazz Festival, Brandenburg Jazz Festival, Sziget Budapest etc. etc.
"Gipsy Summer" (Kuker Music / 1999)
"Never Say No" (Ara / 2000)
"Revolution" (ACCU / 2003)
"Cyclops Camel" (Messechina Music / 2005)
"Karandila is a wedding band which lasts out extremely long. And they play more lively, agile and more jazzlike than traditional bands. This brass orchestra mainly plays its own compositions. With ist drum metres reminding of the "second line" rhythms of the New Orleans Jazz Karandila is celebrating a Balkan music which makes you believe jazz was not invented in America but on the weddings of the Balkan."
Günther Huesmann
"Karandila" from the Folklore paradise Bulgaria in Frankfurter Palmengarten
"Karandila" – just another Roma Brass band which after "Fanfare Ciocarlia", the "Boban Markovic Orkestar" and others is conquering the European concert stages and festivals? Not very likely because the ensemble is from Bulgaria and there everything is different from what we know from the Balkan – as music is concerned. The long Turkish dictatorship and later the state-run care of the music heritage have made Bulgaria the paradise of folklore whose manifold shapes and technical challenges can only be compared with Ireland. Bulgarian musicians always have to prove their national reputation. And the group which staged in the Frankfurt Palmengarten in the World Music series managed this brilliantly and with verve. With his arrangements and compositions the founder and conductor Michailov Tichaliev succeeds in catching entertainment which is always expected at wedding parties (still the most important venues for this kind of music) and a 'higher' virtuousity for the concert podium. Polyphone voices, plastic vibrating dynamics and accelerandi, surprising jazz phrasing, melting Ballads as a taste of still wind in turbulent happenings – pieces which sound like the re-import of Balkan ideas for Klezmer music. So the repertoire of Karandila gets much colour and change.
But the quality of the musicians is even more important.
Virtuous musicians like the clarinet player Angel Kirchev Tsukev and the sax player Kiril Ivanov Shekerdankov cannot be found in other brass bands and there are not many radiant figures like the second trumpet player Trompeter Kuti Sovchev Varbanov who reminds of Harry James with is golden sound projection. They as much as their boss who also plays the trumpet are magnificent and perfect improvisers and thus tempted to jazz…
Ulrich Olshausen / Frankfurter Allgemeine
Seemingly exotic
"We have walked many ways already – sometimes we even met some good people then." The sad refrain of "Djelem Djelem", the inofficial hymn of the Roma, witnesses centuries of suppression and prosecution. But when Michailov Ticheliev, head of the Bulgarian brass orchestra Karandila starts to play his trumpet you might think the song had been made in Bourbon Street in New Orleans.
The world is coming together, also in music. Karandila, the wedding orchestra from Sliven, was certainly the most folkloristic contribution at the "Jazz Across the Border" festival in Berlin … Even with this traditional gipsy orchestra some phrasation is obvisiously taken from jazz. The ten-man band has concert experience; the CD with the title "Stories of the Survival" – excellently produced – has recently been released. On stage, however, little is felt about this programmatic claim to point out to the situation of an ethnic minority. Here pure love of life is ruling. Karandila is playing what they mainly earn their bread with – wedding music. And this makes the audience absolutely excited.
The term "Blues of the Balkan" is really true. Despite the impetuous, nearly archistic temperament there are overtones of some melancholy. The musicians are merrily improvising … a firework of speedy runs."
Uwe Sauerwein / Berliner Morgenpost
Gypsy Summer: Tales of Surviving
Soundtrack, featuring Karandila Brass Orchestra
Children clap, do a frantic, complicated scat singing that constantly breaks down into laughter, and then the landscape explodes with a brass band that is three parts Gypsy, one part gospel shout and a dash of New Orleans second line. This is the heart and soul of a cinematic collection of Bulgarian Gypsy sound images that reach deep to find pathos, joy and above all, compelling, energetic musicianship. The heart of the album is the Karandila band, an ensemble of brass, woodwinds and drums that rips through a modern Gypsy style tinged with American jazz, Balkan folk and unnamable other elements. Their virtuosity is unassailable, but it is the subtle undercurrents that make them so interesting; a soulful blue note here, a bow to New Orleans there, and intentional or not, a bit of bebop swirling through the most unexpected places. The album also features singer Anita Christi on some beautiful ballads, accompanied by a single cimbalom on two and a violin on another. A brief bit of ambience probably best sums up the feel of the album, as a lone reed player accompanies the rhythmic clacking of a train passing in the rail station. The music is appropriately visual throughout, never contrived, always just on the edge of breaking into a spirited laugh or a despondent cry. This music not only survives, but on this album, it lives large.
Cliff Furnald, editor of RootsWorld
Suddently the Karandila Orchestraburst in, booked perhaps for a mad tea party – typical oriental Gypsy Brass Band, with a swaggering sidedrum that sets up a punchy groove. Before long there are clarinet and saxophone solos that sound so raw and intense that you wonder whether they's just playing reeds.
Simon Braughton editor of THE ROUGH GUIDE TO WORLD MUSIC (Penguin) and Songlines music magazine

The date of dispatch can vary depending on the complexity of your order (many of our products are handmade), or simply down to how busy we are. We are not a massive organiaztion with Amazon-like pick and packing machines. We have a small hard working team who pick and pack all orders by hand and take extra special care to make sure each one is packed with love and attention - which inevitably can mean that there may be a delay between getting your order and sending it, especially in very busy periods.

If an item becomes out of stock after you have placed your order we will notify you as soon as possible and ask whether you would like to progress with the balance of your order, or wait for the out of stock item to become available before sending the complete order in one delivery. Please note that in order to keep our art prints in the best possible condition we only keep a limited number of each print in stock. We mount and frame our art prints on site but in the event that a particular print sells out rapidly, there may be a delay with your order whilst stock is replenished.

Truth to be told, I'm a changed woman. My shopping budget year-to-date has been largely blown on active wear.
If you have been seeing me rotating around the same dresses or same outfits, yes it's because I have been distracted at regular shopping. Or rather, it has been sidelined by sportswear shopping.
I discovered yet another place for cheap and pretty sportswear recently – Forever 21! The stores here in Singapore have small sportswear sections that get refreshed regularly. The online store has tonnes of pretty and affordable stuff that call out my name all the time.. especially their pretty sports bras.
I love these strappy bras, makes you wanna train your core muscles harder so as to flaunt the bra top at yoga class: Low Impact Strappy Sports Bra (US$12.90), Low Impact Criss-cross Front Sports Bra (US$14.90)
High Impact Heather Cut-out Sports Bra (US$15.90), Texture Printed Cage Back Sports Bra (US$12.90)
They have cute printed sports bra too, for those who would love to brighten up your yoga outfit! Medium Impact Abstract Print Sports Bra (US$12.90), Medium Impact Abstract Print Reversible Sports Bra (US$12.90)
Forever 21 has recently added a "yoga romper" style – I think another word for it is "leotard" – which looks comfortable and sexy!
Strappy Back Yoga Romper (US$17.90), Mesh Paneled Yoga Romper (US$17.90)
The quality of Forever21's sportswear is decent, although some may comment that the support of the bra tops ain't great. I think the medium and high impact bra tops are suitable for yoga and pilates. I have not tried the low impact tops yet – I guess they might work for Yin Yoga. 🙂

Vietnam is Asia's best kept secret paradise – a peaceful nation with many treasures. This much talked about country with its rich history has many secrets to share with us: unspoiled natural beauty, strange and delicious dishes, friendly people and interesting culture. We are guided through the energy and charm of Vietnam from the north to the south as we discover this spectacular country. Sail through mythical Halong Bay with its more than 2 000 tiny island jutting from the sea like a dragon ready for liftoff. Visit Hanoi, a World Heritage site of history and beauty, Hoi Ain and Ho Chi Minh City, known as the Saigon of old. We also visit the Chu Chi Tunnels and enjoy a day on the Mekong Delta.
Next we cross the border to Cambodia to be amazed by the ancient architecture of Angkor Wat which will leave us speechless. We stay in Siem Reap and the modern Phnom Penh, visit the Golden Palace and a floating fishing village on Tonle Sap (lake). This is a world of contrasts which also stands in stark contrast to the modern western way of life we are used to, and so we once again find ourselves discovering another world that will impact our lives forever.
There's even more… Singapore Breakaway

Calgary is is situated on the Bow River in the south of the province, in an area of foothills and prairie, approximately 80 km east of the front ranges of the Canadian Rockies.

"I am extremely pleased with work done on my behalf by Shabnam Ackrami of Niren and Associates. With only a short period of time before my scheduled trip to Canada, I contacted Ms. Akrami to assist in applying for a TRP and filing an application of Rehabilitation on my behalf. Throughout the preparatory process Ms. Akrami remained in contact with me via the associates in her team and I received my application for TRP a week before I traveled. My entry into Canada was effortless and simplified greatly with the help I received from this team of professionals. My applications are filed and I expect permanent approval to be issued within a 6-8 month time frame. I recommend Niren and Associates and in particular Ms. Akrami for immigration issues. Thank you"

Just another new blog, but what is in the name?
Who is the Red Queen?
The Red Queen is a character from a book by Lewis Caroll: Through a Looking Glass (1872). In Alica's dream about the looking glass house, all is weird. Left appears to be right and visa versa, as if she was in a mirror image of the world she knew. Also, chess pieces are alive and one of them is the Red Queen, who she will meet once she leaves the looking glass house to see the garden.
To get a better view of the garden, Alice decides to climb up the hill. From here, she sees a very straight path, but when she follows the path, she finds that it leads her back to the house. When she runs, she not only returns to the house, she also crashes into it. So, forward movements take you back to your starting point and fast movements cause abrupt stops.
Eventually, Alice finds herself in a patch of very vocal and opinionated flowers; the rose is especially vocal. It is here, where Alice learns about the Red Queen and as an excuse to escape the verbal use, she decides to find the Red Queen. When she spots the Red Queen, she begins to move towards her, but the Red Queen quickly disappears out of sight. Upon advice of the rose, she decides to go the opposite way, which results in immediate success, as she now stands face-to-face with the Red Queen.
The Red Queen leads Alice to the top of the hill and according to the Red Queen, hills can become valleys and valleys can become hills. This confuses Alice, as she already noticed that straight can become curvy. As if progress can only be made by going the opposite direction.
Once they are at the top of the hill, the Red Queen starts to run, faster and faster. Alice runs after the Red Queen, but it appears that neither of them are actually moving. When they stop running, they are still in the exact same place. Alice tells the Red Queen this and the Red Queen responds: "Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do to keep in the same place".
So why chase the Red Queen?
The short answer is: to keep up with my surroundings. Whatever you do, be it in your professional life or your personal life, you have to keep up with things to maintain your current position. To keep up with science as a graduate student, I have to read articles. For criminal to keep ahead of the authorities, they have to find loop-holes in the law and investigation techniques, whereas the authorities have to do the opposite. For a formula 1 team to maintain there lead in the championship they have to keep developing their cars, as their opponents are trying to out compete them for victory. In other words: life is just a rat race, chasing the Red Queen where ever she goes. You just have to chose which rat race you want to join and the chase is on!

If you're jumping straight into this post without reading part 1, that's fine by me, there's nothing here that absolutely requires preexisting knowledge about my bookbinding studies, but if you're curious, you can read part 1 here. Now, let's get started!
The main focus of my bookbinding studies was on the fine binding side of things, perhaps because it's the hardest to master and requires most practice, but perhaps also because that's what the people in charge appreciated the most. My favourite decorating technique was back pared leather onlays (used on the book above, and many others), right from the start. I think I was taught that while still on the artesan program, though it most definitely wasn't on the syllabus at that stage. I'm not really sure we actually even had a syllabus most of the time, but it worked for me. My teacher kept teaching me new things whenever he saw I'd finished with the previous task, and that's something I really appreciated even then. He also forced me to practice hand gilding even though it was something I really didn't like doing (and I still don't - the technique I use for my gilt linen books is worlds away from hand gilding fancy ass leather books), which I appreciate now, despite never doing it anymore.
These two books are from the first months of my bookbinding studies. The blue one is the first quarter leather binding I ever made (I protested against combining cloth and leather even then). The difference between the two is obviously huge - lots and lots of progress in a short time. Headcaps don't just happen accidentally. (Headcap is that part of leather turned in and molded into a nice crescent shape at the head (and tail) of the spine.) Just hearing the theory of how a headcap is formed is pretty much meaningless until the first time you actually try it yourself and feel how leather behaves and just how quickly or slowly the paste begins to dry. Different dyes and tanning lots result in hides that seem to behave differently - sometimes leather is stiffer and needs to be pared thinner than usual, etc. - and it takes lots of practising to recognise how this particular piece of leather needs to be treated in order to get the wanted results. Maybe if I'd have had money for grade I leathers while studying, I'd never run into all the problems and learnt how to solve them. And no, I still have never worked with grade I leather.
Just in case you're interested, that dotted edge was done with a pyrography pen.
This book was made on a fine binding course taught by Lester Capon. He was quite unsurprisingly one of my favourite teachers - always generous with his knowledge, super patient with his students, some of whom knew no English at all, and just a perfect gentleman (we don't usually run into many of those in that particular neck of the woods). The focus of his course was on leather doublures stretching from edge to edge - see, that terracotta leather on the inside cover is what we call a leather doublure (must come from French, that word...). My book is far from perfect and after all these years it's still missing the cover decoration I never got round to designing. Now I feel that if I planned and finished a design for it, I'd be tempted to sell it and it's not really a book I want to let go of. I wish I had saved more of my work just for myself.
As I was saying, fine binding was the thing we were expected to focus on. Sure the artisan students did thesis binding and that sort of menial tasks, but the others got away with it most of the time. My interest in making modern versions of historical bindings was not exactly greeted with open arms. This tiny book (about a 5cm / 2" square) is a link stitch binding with reindeer vellum covers. I taught myself the technique from Keith Smith's book about non-adhesive bindings, as our school had an extensive library of books about bookbinding to help a girl out when sailing to uncharted territories.
Luckily not all teachers were hostile towards the "craftier" techniques. This Coptic binding with double leather covers and Ethiopian headbands was made under the watchful eye of Nina Judin. It's a shame for the world of bookbinding she's no longer making her amazing books, but I can't blame her for pursuing other great dreams. Nina visited us a few times, teaching historical bindings as well as a wonderful course about the philosophy of craftsmanship (which is a subject I totally should write a post one day). I made one of my favourite books on her course and she always brought such a good energy to the classroom with her. Being around other people isn't always that great for me, so I really appreciate it when a teacher manages to free up most of the energy I usually end up wasting on tolerating sensory stimuli.
The pages in this book are of mixed colours and varieties. The fore-edge flap closure was decorated by hammering and tooling a texture with a metal bone folder onto the leather, painting over with acrylic paint and sanding over the dried paint. The flap closure was also stiffened and reinforced by gluing on a layer of reindeer vellum to the reverse side.
If you have any questions about my bookbinding studies I've not yet written about, do leave a comment below, and I'll do my best to answer in the next post!
surprise bonus: my favourite books about bookbinding
Both during my studies and after, I've found one bookbinding book more helpful than any other. The Archaeology of Medieval Bookbinding by J.A. Szirmai is a treasure trove for anyone interested in historical binding structures. It doesn't have tutorials per se, but it has detailed illustrations a person with basic knowledge about bookbinding techniques can interpret. It's an expensive book, so I recommend checking it out at a library if you're not quite sure what you're after.
If you're more interested in fine binding, Jen Lindsay's Fine Bookbinding - a technique guide is the way to go. I'd say it's a book very near perfection. It's a really detailed step by step guide that explains not only what to do, but also why you're doing it. Understanding the whys is absolutely essential in my opinion.

ISRAELI friends have been asking me whether a re-elected
You should be so lucky that the president feels he has the time, energy and political capital to spend wrestling with Bibi to forge a peace between Israelis and Palestinians. I don't see it anytime soon. Obama has his marching orders from the American people: Focus on Bethlehem,
Of course, no one here will tell you that. To the contrary, there will surely be a new secretary of state visiting you next year with the umpteenth road map for "confidence-building measures" between Israelis and Palestinians. He or she may even tell you that "this is the year of decision." Be careful. We've been there before. If you
Is this good for
To begin with, the rising political force in America is not the one with which Bibi has aligned Israel. As the Israeli columnist Ari Shavit noted in the newspaper Haaretz last week: "In the past, both the Zionist movement and the Jewish state were careful to be identified with the progressive forces in the world. ... But in recent decades more and more Israelis took to leaning on the reactionary forces in American society. It was convenient to lean on them. The evangelists didn't ask difficult questions about the settlements, the

So A&L&LittleA showed up mid afternoon Saturday, and we spread out in the garden and enjoyed the sunshine. A really beautiful day on Saturday meant that as well as consuming the odd beverage or two a full on bar-b-q (using the newly reconditioned BBQ) was the perfect way to watch the sun go down. LittleA has really become a great little character (she's 14 months now) and gurgle's away, points, says the odd intelligent word (like cat-cat or some such) and has an interest in absolutely everything for at least 35 seconds before being dis-squrriel-tracted.
Daughter arrived with S (and later C and Son's "friend" S2). S had made fresh kebabs with Daughter which went down well and we spoofed for who would be first in the tub fully clothed. All very silly but entertaining stuff. By the time the wee small hours arrived we'd migrated back in doors to a game of Buzz and a bit of Singstar before we were all fully worn out and had to sleep. There's only so much Lady GaGa as sung by the youths and mangled by the adults that you can take.
Early start Sunday morning because as anyone with kids will you tell you they set the agenda from the moment they awake, although this is perfectly normal in our house where we're normally early birds. So by 9 o'clock we were all up and had feasted on a proper english cooked breakfast. The five of us (A&L&LittleA, Mrs G and I) took a stroll into the city and around the newly refurbished docks (Oh what a floor that is) ending up appropriately in Robert Raikes' House for a spot of lunch.
Oh what a floor that is...
It's appropriate because it was a Sunday and Mr Raikes was the founder of the Sunday School movement. In fact he was the founder of schooling in general (as Sunday Schools came before the state school system) and they where first held on a Sunday because the rest of the time, the kids were all at work (up chimneys, in factories etc etc. - Oh for the good old days) Today his house is a pub, and a very beautiful one it is too. Can't say that the food and drink really lives up to the surroundings which is a great shame, but it's still perfectly edible and quaffable. A greatly enjoyed weekend that we don't do often enough. Luckily there are bank holidays on the near horizon and L has her special birthday coming up - so a weekend in Wiltshire with more buffoonery and catching up with more of the west country gang isn't far away.
This morning I have a disaster on my hands though. A and I finished off the "Old Brown Java" on Sunday morning which means I've had to revert to the Lavazza, which while good is not the same. So at some point this week I have to have a trip to Whittards to pickup both more OBJ and either some Italian Expresso, Monsoon Malabar or Cafe Francais. Life without coffee would be like life without oxygen probably.
I also seem to be having some very odd goings on with my broadband connection this morning. It's up and down like a pair of whore's draws and I'm damned if I can figure out why. My router is particularly old and has been 100% reliable so I'm doubting that's the problem. Of more concern may be network activity caused by some rouge piece of software. Now I have a fairly solid set of tools on the Mac that allow me to see exactly what it's up to and nothing appears out of place there, so my suspicions point towards the slightly more volatile Windows systems that sit on my LAN. The work box only does work and nothing else (at least as far as is humanly possible) so I doubt that's picked anything up, but it's not impossible. I think a full scan is in order and we all know how tedious that is.....

This movie is all about sex, inferred sex, not actual sex.
Rating: B+
*Our NEW Rating System: A is excellent, B is good and anything less than that doesn't get talked about here, because there's nothing good to say.
Audience: It's suitable for adults and mature adolescents.
Jay Wheeler (Scott Speedman) is a handsome playboy capable of wooing the women of Los Angles with his charismatic banter and physical sex appeal. The very first scene shows him putting on his jeans in a sparsely decorated "bachelor" pad. Then cut to the bed and a beautiful young woman is just waking up. He notices her stirring and the first thing he says to her after an inferred night of passion is "would you mind locking the door on your way out?" She sits up in the bed obviously nude, but covered with a top sheet and asks demurely, "so you're not going to buy me breakfast then?" Without a moment's thought he says "Naw", and leaves her there, dejected. I thought to myself, I never did that he must be crazy. I wasn't too far off.
Jay works in a psychiatric hospital mopping floors as part of his probation. Another reason he works there is because they have a strict door control security system that keeps the thugs working for his bookie out, because Jay is a degenerate gambler who never wins enough to pay off his debts. It seems he likes to bet on the ponies and he can't pick a winner to save his life.
One day he's moping the floors in the front lobby when he hears a commotion and sees the doctor in charge of the hospital trying the check in a new patient who's not real clear on what's going on. The beautiful nubile waif, (Evan Rachel Wood), Daisy has been picked up by the police and referred to the hospital for a psychiatric evaluation. She is totally beautiful and when Jay sees her he is intrigued by her physical beauty and her lack of shoes.
Not long after her arrival, Daisy is being examined by a fake doctor (the night shift security guard) and Jay hears her distress. He intervenes on her behalf by knocking out the deviant and calming her fears. As he leaves her room she decides to follow him. He knows that he will be fired for hitting the security guard, so he's leaving the hospital and Daisy slips out of the security door behind him. She's standing in the wet parking lot in her night clothes with no shoes or anything else to her name. He tries to get her to go back to the hospital, but in her innocent manner she convinces him to let her tag along with him.
This is where the laughter and adventures begin.
They range from a strip club in Los Angeles to a refined wedding party in the highest social setting of New Orleans. These two unlikely companions learn about disappointment, hardship, trust and finally love. I found this moving to be funny on several different levels with a happy ending.

Signs of kidney cancer include:
- Blood in urine
- Pain in the flank (side of the body)
- High blood pressure
These symptoms do not absolutely indicate that kidney cancer is present and these signs may occur in the face of other noncancerous conditions. It is also important to note that many patients who develop kidney cancer experience none of these symptoms and their tumors are found incidentally on imaging studies.
Causes and Risk Factors
There is no known absolute cause for the development of kidney cancer. The cancer can occur at any age but most occur after the age of 50. Twice as many men as women develop kidney cancer.
The risk factors for kidney cancer may include:
- Family history of kidney cancer
- Dialysis
- High-fat diet
- Overweight
- Smoking
- Exposure to asbestos, solvents and cadmium
