My favorite souvenirs are items that carry significance in the local culture. In Morocco, these are known as the hand of Fatima, named after Muhammad's daughter. In the rest of the Arabic world, they are known as hamsa (or khamsa), which literally means "five" but can also mean "the five fingers of the hand". The hamsa is a lucky charm of sorts, believed to provide protection against the evil eye. The exact origins of this symbol are unknown, but some Mesopotamian artifacts contained the image of an open right hand. At some point the symbol was also incorporated into Jewish culture where it is known as the hand of Miriam, for the sister of Moses and Aaron.
Probably one of my favorite souvenirs from Morocco are the mini tagines I bought from a friend's shop and a pottery factory we visited in Fes, where these mini tagines were also available in what I've been told are the city's emblematic blue and white. Easy to stuff in a suitcase (wrapped for safety in a scarf you bought, perhaps?), the mini tagines are a happy reminder of the many tagine meals you'll undoubtedly devour but are more likely to make it home safely and without taking up half of your suitcase. And they're as functional as they are cute (isn't everything cuter in mini-form?) as you can use them to hold sugar cubes or spices in your kitchen or maybe even knick-knacks and paperclips on your desk at work!
Some travelers are exhausted by the haggling in the souks of Morocco, by the barely-organized chaos of the medinas. In Fes, the stunning mosaic tile creations that are so typical all over the country can be bought directly from the artisans who make them in a showroom just outside the walls of the old Medina -- haggle, and stress, free. See how the pottery and mosaic is made then shop till you drop without needing to haggle. The prices are fixed and they ship internationally with Fed Ex. Buy items as small as cups, as large as garden fountains and dining tables. They even accept dollars and euros!
I found an oasis at Dar Seffarine, located in a quiet medina neighborhood and hosted by locals. Upon arrival, Zuhair, who had grown up next door, led me to one of the graceful salons surrounding the interior courtyard and offered water and tea. I then toured the dar's roof-top terrace with its splendid views and comfortable couches; patio dining room with fragrant citrus trees; and on to my spacious, quiet, and enchanting room. Thick white walls set off dark and intricately carved wood beams and colorful tiles. Soft white linens and bedside brass lamps beckoned, the faint sounds of neighbors chatting amiably, occasional clip-clop of little donkey hooves on the way to market, a chicken cackle--daily life--just outside. Wonderful breakfasts of good coffee, fresh orange juice, and homemade breads, eggs, cheeses, fruits, and jams were served on the roof terrace. Evenings I shared delicious patio dinners with fellow guests: fragrant chicken tagines, fried eggplant, fresh fruit and vegetable salads, rich tasting couscous, peaches in lemon and rose flavored syrup, prepared by Zuhair's mom. Daytime, I followed my whims and the advice of the staff, all locals, for shopping, museums, and cafes. Before tucking in at night, I would climb the tiled-covered stairs to the terrace for a view of the medieval cityscape with lit up windows like an opera set, look up at the bright stars, and listen to the haunting prayers from the nearby mosque, feeling I was truly in a magical land.
Deep in the maze that is the city of Fes, lies Dar Anebar. It is both a restaurant and a Riad. With a traditional courtyard that has a fountain and multiple dining rooms off the main area, there are plenty of "nooks and crannies" hiding delightful Moroccan details to inspire. The service is impeccable and the food, though very Moroccan, is also quite French (a good thing most certainly). Rooms in the Riad are of superior comfort and high speed WiFi is included, as is breakfast. My only complaint is that the lack of a door between the bathroom and bedroom can make sharing the space slightly awkward if you're staying in the Riad with friends. Still, if you're in Fes and looking for one of the most authentic experiences you can have, that's still luxurious -- this is where you need to stay.
While the stench is overwelming, the experience is once in a lifetime.......
At first glance, the narrow alley you have to maneuver to get to Café Clock -- does not look advisable. In fact, while walking down the path, I remarked to my friends, "This looks like a place in which we might find weed for sale." Yet the best adventures often begin in such a manner. You will feel glad for the thickness of the Riad walls that house the café, it's a break from the sensory overload that is Fes. The staff is young, fluent in three languages and enthusiastic. Even kind. It's another variation from the world outside. Decor reflects the history of Morocco while also representing those who visit. There's a mannequin keeping watch high up on the wall, dressed in the robe of an Arab princess, and horns hang upside down forming a sort of chandelier between the three levels of the cafe. Food is fresh, made to order, again representing both Morocco and foreign palates. There's a small movie theater that plays local films on Tuesday evenings and western films on Fridays. Make your way up top to the roof terrace and you have the perfect spot to relax for sunset. There are yoga lessons available, henna application and the chance to hire a local guide. Café Clock is nothing like the rest of Fes, and that's not a bad thing! Breakfast is served all day, WiFi is free and jewelry is for sale handmade by the female staff; there's even a cookbook you can take home that compiles classic Moroccan recipes, with a twist. (Perfect souvenir for mom, or your favorite chef!)
Rose water, olives, camel heads, and leathers. What else could one by at the Fez souk? With tanneries behind gnome-sized doors and saffron-selling spice shops behind friendly purveyors, Fez was a shopping experience that required a map, a guide, and a little bit of faith.
In the middle of the chaotic, restless and quirky medina of Fes rises a tall, unassuming (in true Moroccan fashion) building that would be the answer to what I precisely needed that day. Calmness. A short parenthesis from the bustling outside world. Spread out on three different levels with each 2-3 different rooms, including a lovely rooftop terrace that overlooks the medina, Café Clock is one of the funkiest cafés I have ever been in, and it was never more welcome. While still very Moroccan, with its hues of brown and ornate carvings, the café is also home to many funky works of art, starting with the gorgeous central chandelier. What makes this place so special, outside its beautiful and modern setting, is its menu. Exit tagines and couscous. At Café Clock, you can eat grilled veggies sandwiches, milkshakes, hummous, falafels, pancakes and other delicious delicacies. And even if you aren't particularly hungry, thirsty or in need of a break, Café Clock has something to offer - namely, free wifi, cooking, calligraphy, yoga and dance classes, concerts, and movie showings, to name but a few. Morocco is an incredible country, and the Fes medina does not disappoint - but sometimes, all a girl needs is free wifi and a decadent chocolate milkshake away from the hustle. And Café Clock is just the perfect place for that.
When I told people I was traveling to Fes for north Africa's most celebrated music festival, I heard, "Will you feel safe there?" or "You're traveling halfway around the world to listen to church music?" Ironically, at the primary concerts, attendees were required to walk through a metal detector machine. Just one more reminder that being sacred also requires being secure. My Relais & Chateaux hotel, Riad Fes, was a brisk, 10-minute walk to Bab Al Makina, the main venue, and I arrived just as Morocco's Presidential motorcade was about to pull up - I was a little underdressed. As the King of Morocco said in dedicating the festival, "The Kingdom of Morocco boasts a richly diverse, multi-faceted history, successfully forged together by its people, who have managed over the centuries, to build a deeply-rooted nation based on a commitment to lofty values and a long-standing tradition of respect for the Other…." What's sacred about this festival isn't the music, it's the collaboration. It's the fusion of Himalayan musicians with those from the Mauritanian desert, Bengali ragas joining in Gospel singing with those from South Africa, and an Eastern Orthodox Aramaen choir synthesizing with those from the Alfama distract of Lisbon. My only regret was not staying long enough to see Patti Smith later in the week. The title for the Opening Night celebration was "Love is my Religion." I can't think of a more exquisite way to describe the purpose of the World Sacred Music festival.
On my travels, a highlight has to be capturing images of local people, either chatting and then asking for a photo (usually positive) or like this one, a candid shot. While staying in Fes, in Morocco, I went to the Souk every day. It's an amazing place and for sure, you will get lost and more than once! This shot, for me is perfect. I first selected the plain backdrop of a wall, then just waited for a subject to enter my canvas. This elderly man caught in profile, made that particular day's shoot very worth while and satisfying!
Over a sultan's feast of pastilla, marinated salads, tajines, and pastries at La Maison Bleue in the Fès medina, my husband and I were spellbound by the haunting voice of this oud player. The melancholy cadence of his instrument coalesced with the slow enchantment of his vocals to form an unforgettable and almost tangible atmosphere of magic and mystery.
Like stepping back in time.........The colors, smells, textures, tastes will have your senses in overdrive.
The Nejjarine Museum of Wood Arts and Crafts in Fes, Morocco is interesting enough ... but be sure to climb the last flight of stairs to the rooftop for a view like this!
Within the ancient walls of Fez, Palais Amani is a magnificent restored riad with citrus-scented air, a panoramic rooftop terrace, and a mosaic-tiled hammam.Palais Amani's spa provides facials, massages, gommage and, of course, hammam treatments. In summer and autumn, treatments take place in a rooftop pergola, looking out over the city. The assorted unguents employed are made using unique-to-Morocco argan oil from the gardens of Ourika. If you're interested enough in your boots to wonder where the leather came from, ask the hotel to arrange a tannery trip – but bear in mind these are only for the stout of heart and resilient of nose. The hotel can also arrange city tours, cooking demonstrations, wine tastings and classes in henna painting. If you're after a particular item of Moroccan craftwork and don't fancy taking your chances in the souks, Palais Amani can put you in touch with talented and trustworthy craftsmen. 75km outside Fez, the Roman ruins at Volubilis are the best preserved in North Africa, and boast some amazing mosaics. The Atlas Mountains offer inspiring hiking trails and unbeatable views across the desert back to Fez, as well as the opportunity to visit a rural mountain village or two.
Everywhere I went in the Fes medina, I saw these numbered boxes painted on the walls. I had no idea what they were all about until later. I learned that these are election boxes. Morocco has a multi-party political system and each party is assigned a numbered box. I think I saw as many as twenty numbered boxes! Campaign posters are officially limited to these spaces so parties cannot plaster their campaign notices over just any available surface. Some parties have iconic symbols that represent them so instead of posters, they use spray paint and stencils to paint the image of their party's symbol on the wall. I was particularly curious about the symbols; many looked like hieroglyphics to me and I wondering what kind of campaign message they were intending to convey. Perhaps in a country where nearly 40 percent of the population is illiterate, using a symbol to just remind people the party is active and running goes a long way.
The medina in Fes is unparalleled - it will surprise, delight, and offend you as you wind through it's maze of shops. One of the highlights for those interested in seeing unusual professions is the leather dye vats. You don't need a map to find them, just follow your nose. You can view the vats from above from the various leather shops that have 'viewing areas'. You will be astonished at the work going on below you. Cow and goat hides are soaked in large vats to clean and then to dye them. The dye colors are natural and come from plants and flowers such as poppy (red), saffron (yellow), and mint (green). Men only work literally inside the vats stomping the hides down into the dyes - like grapes at a winery. They slather their legs in vaseline to ensure their skin doesn't get dyed in the process - a hazard of the workplace. This is a site to see so don't forget your camera. And don't worry - if you are worried about the smell, the shop will provide fresh mint for you to inhale while peering over the edge to see this ancient profession in action. How to find the vats? Most people hire guides to navigate them through the medina, so simply ask your guide - or just point your nose to the sky and inhale!
The tangled maze of narrow alleys in the medina in Fes, Morocco requires that all deliveries are made by push cart or donkey. I woke this guy from his nap to transport my luggage to my riad - which was most helpful, since I had no idea where it was!
From Fes, Morocco, we headed East to the Sahara Desert, where we stayed in a tent village, rode camels to tiny villages, and walked for miles in surreal sand dunes.
I'm not a shopper but I have to admit, I have a big weakness when it comes to local handicrafts. Every day that I was in Morocco was heavenly torture for me. Of all the places I spent time in, my favorite handicraft spot was the medina in Fes. Like many a tourist, I bought more than my fair share of the leather goods that Fes is world famous for. Fes is also known for its metal products and Place Seffarine (aka the metal souk) is the place to go. The small square named after the coppersmiths who still work there – pounding copper and brass to produce all sorts of metal products. In fact, you can hear Place Seffarine before you actually see it, the rhythmic sounds of hammer against metal reverberate down the narrow alleys of the medina. Much of what is sold here is produced here following centuries old metalworking methods. Artisans and their apprentices work side by side and in between shopping, it's very entertaining to just watch them pound and shape metal into the beautiful items sold in the shops. I was filled with glee making my way from one shop to another browsing through handmade utensils, bowls, plates, utensils, teapots, candle holders, boxes of all kinds and more. I had my eyes on the lookout for two uniquely Moroccan items – a copper couscous steamer and an exquisitely carved Moroccan lamp. Place Seffarine is located near the Karaouine Mosque. Like with everything, quality and price of the products vary - shop around and bargain hard!
Located in Fes's medina, Restaurant Sekaya is a great introduction to Moroccan cuisine, particularly for wary travelers. The ambience is great, the food is affordable and flavorful and they have what I believe to be the best mint tea in town. This was the first of many during my stay in Morocco and it remains one of my favorites to this day. Sweet but not overly done, minty, warm and refreshing. It's everything you could want in mint tea, and more. http://restaurant-sekaya.blogspot.com/
A visit to the tanneries was quite an experience. Walking through the medina of Fez, you will definitely be stopped by more than one or two locals begging to guide you to the tannery. I suggest finding a licensed guide before setting off to find it on your own, unless you are navigationally gifted. After being led by our guide down the twisted and narrow paths in the Medina, we were taken up to one of the leather shops ( the best views of the tanneries working can be seen here.) My husband and I were greeted by merchants with sprigs of mint to ward of the very strong odor that is definitely an assault on the senses. It is quite fascinating to stand upon the rooftops and watch the tanners using nothing but their bare hands and feet to dye the leather. Leather tanneries in Morocco still follow the ancient system of treating leather. Hides are soaked for a few days in vessels full of cow urine, quicklime, water and salt before being picked at and dried. Next they are sent to a different set of vessels filled with diluted pigeon excrement and water to be softened. With nothing but their bare feet and hands, tanners knead the skins to their desired softness as well as with the final dying process. Afterwards, you have the option of purchasing leather products in the shop. No worries, the merchants are not offended if you decide not to, just be polite when declining. This was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Fez.
Just across the street from the royal palace there is this beautiful garden. Surrounded by the loud noises of the city and the tall walls this place is a beautiful spot to sit a while and rest.
While we felt blessed throughout our time in Morocco, our Fes experience would be driven by divine providence, guiding us into not just a city, but into a relationship with a man that held it deep in his heart… "I know a guy!" That's all we needed to hear from our I Tour Morocco guide, Hafid. He had taken great care of us for hundreds of kilometers and had one last suggestion for our tour in Fes. A phone call and few minutes later and we had Mohammed Bouftila, an internationally acclaimed Medina guide, climbing into the front seat. To get the most from a Medina tour, particularly in a mazed Medina so rich in culture, history and artisans, find a guide. The Medina is crammed with stories and Momo started with one from his childhood, growing up in a nearby riad where his mother and sister still live. He had his favorite routes and off-the-map places. Some of the most incredible locations involved access into abandoned riads and palaces that were either in the process of renovation or looking for a sponsor. The Medina environment continues to be a communal living effort. Neighbors share walls, bakers, activities, religion and family life. It has been this way for a millennia and Momo loves to demonstrate how these traditions carry forward. Any credentialed guide in the Medina can provide similar services, but by the end of our time in Fes, we felt part of Momo's family and world. Find Momo via email - firstname.lastname@example.com
It's a long, fragrant walk through the food markets to Café Clock before you duck into an unassuming alley that leads you up to this eccentric little haven. Tour the three-story townhouse before you settle on a spot; each turn reveals something new and unexpected: decor ranges from a brass-horn chandelier to a collection of fez hats hanging on the wall to graffiti adorning the wall of a tiny cinema. The menu serves everything from quinoa and tofu (good luck finding that anywhere else in the medina) and grilled chicken sandwiches to — for the more adventurous palates — a camel burger. On any given night of the week, there will be concerts, movie screenings, folk-art lessons, henna classes. It's a gathering ground for tourists and locals alike — OK fine, when we went it was predominantly tourists, but we also chatted with a few employees who were hanging out there on their day off. Have you ever wanted to chill in your place of employment when you didn't have to? I didn't think so.
The Medina in Old Fes, or Fes el Bali, is a bucket list experience. Enough beautiful, noisy, smelly, tasty anachronisms to give you whiplash. Abandon your need for control and get lost (its easy) as you wander through the modern 12th century. Just watch out for donkeys and their associated "exhaust".
In the Fes Medina, Friday (Salat), The Quiet Day, has a completely different feel from other days, with most of the souks and cafes closed, and many more local families and out-of-town Muslims worshipping at the mosques. I passed men dressed in pristine white robes, one holding his little son's hand on the way to worship, the boy dressed in his own white robe and little gold slippers. I glanced at Sudanese women in emerald green or sapphire blue robes entering the holy wooden doors and tall, elegant Arabic and Ethiopian men in yellow satin robes strolling inside for prayers. During Salat, the ancient mosques seem especially splendid with their carved plaster, pink and green wall designs, blue and green tiles, and amazing intricate work on cedar wood. Adding to that vision are the haunting prayers which echo through the air and against the medina walls, mixed with the smell of cedar and of burning candles. As a non-believer, however, I could not enter--a dictate from the French Colonial Era. Salat is just one reminder that Fes has a rich interior life which is often just seen in glimpses. So much of the mystery in Fes is viewed while peering through an open door or one just closing, as I passed on foot along some narrow shadowed walkway. These fleeting images and forbidden entries felt like veils being lifted then drawn again without the secret ever being revealed. Something had been faintly illuminated to show a moment, but only that; the enigma remained.
Staying in The Medina in Fes, Morocco is one of the most amazing experiences travel can offer. One of the surprises was the people and how helpful they were. Our Riad owners arranged for baggage handling to our waiting taxi. A local touch that also helped to get us out of the maze. Nice to have an audience as well. To get this experience, it is important to choose to stay in The Medina. And, find a Riad of your liking and price range. Our favorite and highly recommend: Riad Numero Nine. It is the most authentic and interesting way to experience this mystical place.

PROF. k. August
Tel: +27 21 808 3856 | Fax: +27 21 808 3251 | Email
After completing his basic theological studies at the Moravian Theological Seminary (1971) and at UNISA (1976), Prof August studied Systematic Theology, specializing in the Theology of the Cross (Luther, Zinzendorf and Moltmann) at the University of the Western Cape. Since his ordination in 1976, he managed and served two rural Moravian settlements and two urban congregations. Besides his service in various church commissions, he served as one of the synodical chairmen for three national synods of the Moravian Church in SA. He also represents the Moravian Church on various ecumenical bodies, e.g. the World Synod of the Moravian Church, the Lutheran World Federation and the Distance Theological Education Commission of the World Council of Churches.
In 1988 Prof. August was appointed as rector of the Moravian Seminary where he had served as lecturer for ten years (1978-1988). In 1993 he qualified as a teacher at UNISA (postgraduate HED; main subjects: History and Biblical Studies) and during the following four years he taught at the Voorbrug Senior Secondary School at Delft, Cape Town. As from 1996 to 1998 he studied Public Administration and Development Management at the University of Stellenbosch in preparation for the post in Theology and Community Development at the US, which he has held since 1998.
Dipl in Theol (Joint Board 1971); BA(Theol) (Unisa 1976); Licenciate in Theology (Morav Theol Sem 1976); MTh (UWC 1984); Postgraduate HED (Unisa 1993); MPA (US 1999); DTh (US 2003).
Prof August's task and passion is to develop social services of the church in society as a theological discipline. This development - ministry demands a specific public profile of the church which, in turn, challenges theological training and practice. The Faculty of Theology must accept its social responsibility as partner in the struggle for survival, the transformation and the awareness of society, especially in a young democracy such as that of South Africa.
The social dimension of the church's life and proclamation is an inextricable part of the church's fundamental character. The church is in the world - being its context and external environment. As such, the humans and the ecology of the world are the field of its proclamation. The church can only fulfil its Godly imposed calling and function in relation to vital problems within society and the geographical environment! The church's task resides, not in avoidance, but in engaging and transformation of the world. This is the area in which the church must realise its 'salt-leaven-and-light' function in obedience to the values of God's Reign on earth. Because Theology is serious about 'God's love for the world' (Jh 3:16) and because of the firm belief that the church, in fact, is God's gift in Jesus Christ to the world to transform it with the view to confronting and spreading the Messianic values, the following issues, to Prof August, are of cardinal importance for the practise of Theology: poverty and the economy, labour and unemployment, crime and violence, culture and ethnicity, housing and health (Aids), education, community organization and management, policy for land utilization, administration, gender problems, communication and technology, globalization and liberal capitalism, the sovereignty of a democratic state, citizenship and ecological problems. These issues require a multi-disciplinary approach in theological practice.
The aim of Developmental Theology is the formation of inspired and effective leadership for ministry in rural and urban communities. The required pedagogical process is one of learning and doing, of research and reflection in the context of the ministry. The methodology will be dialectic and dialogical, interdependent and interdisciplinary. Developmental Theology emphasizes multicultural diversity and applies the principle of cooperation. In any Christian tradition, the approach to Theology is necessarily that of empowerment and transformation. The outcome aims to equip candidates for providing pastoral care, for facilitating development and for making social analyses while recognizing interdependence.

Brad Richards may go down as the best free agent signing when the 2014-2015 National Hockey League season concludes next summer.
Richards signed a one-year, $2 million deal with the Chicago Blackhawks on July 1st. The 34-year-old Canadian center made his second appearance in the Stanley Cup Final this past June with the New York Rangers. Richards had the remaining six years of his 9-year, $60 million deal with the Rangers bought out to free up cap space in New York.
The intrigue of the Richards signing really came out of nowhere because of the Ryan Kesler sweepstakes, which was won by the Anaheim Ducks. After missing out on Kesler filling the need for a second-line center, Blackhawks general manager Stan Bowman signed Richards like a thief in the night.
Personally, I thought the signing was perfect. Although Richards is on the back nine of his career, as a Blackhawks fan, you have to be ecstatic. You get a proven center with playoff experience (and a Conn Smythe Award from his Tampa Bay days) who can provide a consistent pop on a line with two of the best young talents in hockey.
Not only did Richards play in all 82 games last season, he logged 51 points, including 20 goals. I'll take 20 goals between Brandon Saad and Patrick Kane any day of the week. And yes, I'll stress this again: Richards signed a one-year, $2 million deal. Basically, you signed a proven veteran for nothing.
"If I was going to go to Chicago, it was going to be this way. I didn't go into free agency thinking anything. I was very flexible coming in because I'm pretty confident I can still play a lot of hockey in this league. I just went to the Stanley Cup final. You get the itch when you get that far. You want to win."
-Brad Richards after signing with the Blackhawks, ESPNChicago.com (Katie Strang)
Plus, Bowman and the Hawks knew a move had to be made. When the three top center options in free agency all join Western Conference playoff teams, a signing for the Hawks was imminent. Kesler joined the Ducks, former Ottawa center Jason Spezza signed with the Dallas Stars and premier free-agent option Paul Statsny signed with the division-rival St. Louis Blues.
Sure, Richards was demoted to New York's fourth line during their run to the Cup Final, but let's make this short and simple; would you rather have a 34-year-old Richards who still play effective hockey or a 37-year-old Michal Handzus who can barely get up and down the ice?
No disrespect to the one they call "Zus", but the Blackhawks' window to win the Stanley Cup is still wide-open. Making the move to sign Richards was not only a smart move, but helped solidify a need for the Hawks moving forward.
Pending the Blackhawks making more moves, the top six for the Hawks could be this in '14-15:
LW: Patrick Sharp, C: Jonathan Toews, RW: Marian Hossa
LW: Brandon Saad, C: Brad Richards, RW: Patrick Kane
Not bad, right?
The Hawks have many options on their plate and in-house matters still to take care of (Example: keeping Toews and Kane in Chicago), but Brad Richards should help bring comfort, stability and production to the Blackhawks in 2014.

GARY | The RailCats are still itching to have a starting pitcher reach past the fifth inning.
Kyle Wilson, the first in the rotation with three starts, was the next hope. Instead, the righty went 4 1/3 innings Sunday and gave up five runs as the RailCats dropped their third consecutive game at home 10-2 to Wichita.
"I've thrown more pitches each and every outing, today was more than the last and more than the one before that," said Wilson, who was pulled after 79 pitches. "(I'll) get the work in the bullpen and throw a few more innings out there and give the relievers a break."
Wilson allowed two runs in the first, but settled down giving up just a solo homer in the third until the fifth.
"I think you saw some of the things that we like (about Wilson), like the fourth inning when he was outstanding," manager Greg Tagert said. "We like the excitement of what he brings with his stuff. He's a little different than guys we've had in the past, you can see the electricity in some of his stuff, the 91 miles an hour, and he can be tough on a hitter. But, the four-pitch walk to start the game, the issues with being able to command the strike zone. He's probably very much the epitome of the pitching staff as a work-in-progress."
Wilson was pulled after allowing a pair of singles, but Wichita then hit four straight doubles and a triple off of reliever Chad Rhoades for a seven-run inning. Rhoades' season ERA has ballooned to 28.93.
"Chad continues to struggle and that's a tough one for us to figure out," manager Greg Tagert said. "He was a guy that we signed as an impact reliever. ... Everything that we've watched, his training, the radar gun, he's throwing as hard as he was when he was closing out games for the Red Sox in Double A, but it's one of those things we're scratching our heads and I think Chad is, too."
Left-handed relievers T.J. Wohlever and Chuck Lukanen pitched the final four innings without a run.
Adam Klein scored the RailCats first run thanks to a leadoff walk to open the first inning and Sean Smith added a run in the seventh. Wichita out-scored the RailCats 19-5 during the opening-weekend series.
The RailCats amassed seven hits, but stranded four runners in scoring position and finished the three-game series with 24 left on base.

In the latest episode that aired earlier this week South Park's theme was on the dangers of Tebowing. In the episode they referred to it as "Faith Hilling" and it involved trains. Funny in a strange, morbid South Park kind of way. (WARNING: Animated violence!)

Coke has Vanilla Coke....so now there's Pepsi Vanilla. Fortunately, Pepsi did something right with this product as it does not taste nearly as bad as Vanilla Coke. Instead, this product has a stronger, more natural tasting vanilla flavor that gives it much more of a soda-shop feeling. Sure, there are better sodas out there, but as far as Pepsi Cola products go this one is among our favorites. What would we love to see?...How about a retro-styled Pepsi Vanilla in a glass bottle? We know that won't happen, but they could really do a lot better on the packaging as the high-tech blue gives this product a chemistry lab feeling. Overall, one of the better Pepsi products to hit the market.

Lonely: Learning to Live with Solitudeby Emily White
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Despite having a demanding job, good friends, and a supportive family, Emily White spent many of her evenings and weekends alone at home, trying to understand why she felt so completely disconnected from everyone. In this insightful and soul-baring memoir, White recounts her struggle to comprehend and overcome her chronic loneliness, a debilitating condition that she contends deserves the same attention as depression and other mental difficulties. Interweaving her personal story with cutting-edge scientific research—as well as incredibly moving accounts offered by numerous lonely men and women—White provides a deep and thorough portrait of this increasingly common but too often ignored affliction.
In a boldly honest and elegantly written memoir—the first on this topic—Emily White reveals the painful and sometimes debilitating experience of living with chronic loneliness. In the vein of popular favorites such as Girl, Interrupted and Manic, Lonely approaches loneliness in the way that Andrew Solomans The Noonday Demon approached depression, and lifts the veil on a mostly ignored population who often suffer their disorder in silence.
About the Author
Emily White is a former lawyer who now works as a writer and policy adviser. She lives in St. John's, Newfoundland.

It fit my needs perfectly for a catalog with a handful of categories each with a dozen products which needed a short description, 3-4 product photos (easy auto-resize of thumbnails). Can include tabs for 'Additional Info' and'Reviews' etc using the pagebreak function in your text editor. Spend a little time figuring out the possibilities and it couldn't be easier.

This was so simple, it worked straight up - took me no more than 5 minutes. I had only one issue and that was as mentioned in another review, I'd used a space in the title with result of a blank module. I picked up the clue on how to resolve from the reviews, not from the developer, a word on this on the developer website would make for even quicker installation. Thank you and congrats to developers for making such a handy module so easy to instal - for free! It really couldn't have been made easier.

It took me a couple of hours all up to set up & tweak to satisfaction and away you go. The control & configuration panel is straightforward and to the point. I've set up and managed/moderated a stand-alone phpbb forum before and in comparison, this is sooooo much easier. I have had no conflicts or errors with the installation or setup. I'm new to Joomla only having created 2 Joomla sites, so if I can do it, so can you. Thank you Kunena Forum developers - you have an excellent component, well done!

If Minneapolis mayor R.T. Ryback had his way, the team visiting the Vikings at the Metrodome tonight would be named something other than the Redskins. Ryback has joined an increasing multitude of civic leaders and other people of influence who are calling for the Washington football team to change their nickname on the grounds that it is racially insensitive.
"It has never been right to disrespect the indigenous people of our country, and it is especially wrong to do it in 2013 with the name of a team that represents our nation's capital," Ryback posted on Tumblr.
Ryback went further than just standing against the nickname, he called for people to put pressure on the Redskins and owner Dan Snyder by refusing to spend money on gear emblazoned with the team's name and logo.
"I stand with elected officials across the country, including members of the Minneapolis City Council, and many, many others who believe it is long past time to change the name of Washington's NFL team. It is deeply disappointing that calls for respect have not been heard, and I will join others in looking for ways to bring change, including urging those who agree to boycott merchandise of the Washington Football Franchise.
Ryback added, "I have a son who lives in Washington who, thankfully, remains a Viking fan, but if he ever changes allegiance, he should not count on his dad buying him anything that uses their derogatory name and logo."
Dan Snyder has already made it clear that he has no intention of ever changing the team's name. When dragged into the middle of the controversy, Roger Goodell deferred back to Snyder, saying it was up to the Redskins to decide for themselves whether to make a switch.
Eventually the Redskins name will be changed, but probably not until Dan Snyder has had some kind of profound come-to-Jesus moment. I seriously doubt mayor Ryback's objections will do anything to speed Snyder toward this moment of realization but then again you never know.

IET reveals most innovative companies
One of the shortlisted entries in this year's awards is Reevu's rear vision helmet.
The IET has announced the shortlist for its 2012 Innovation Awards, celebrating the most innovative engineering and technology-related organisations.
The awards celebrate the most innovative organisations operating within a wide variety of science, engineering and technology disciplines.
Seventy entries have been shortlisted from over 400 in this year's awards, which have attracted entries from all over the world including China and Canada.
There are 15 categories in the awards – from asset management to electronics – and this year a special category on Sports Technology has been introduced specifically for the Olympic year.
Some of the shortlisted entries include a company that is bringing mobile phone coverage to rural areas with a green, off-grid energy solution; and a firm that has created the world's first rear vision helmet.
The awards, now in their eighth year, are judged by a panel of more than 80 engineering experts, recognising the depth and breadth of innovative work being carried out across all areas of engineering and technology, at all stages of development.
"Engineering continues to innovate and introduce new ideas that contribute to, and improve, our daily lives," says Tim Hamer, director of Knowledge at the IET.
"The shortlisted entries in this year's Innovation Awards highlight the way in which the engineering and technology industries strive for improvements in areas of software, design and technology. These companies are helping to ensure engineering flourishes as a profession."
TV presenter Clare Balding will announce the winners at a gala dinner at The Brewery, London, on 22 November.

Your phones and tablets need protection. Not from conquering warlords
but from you, because you drop everything and break it. We've seen you do it.
And these days it's not just a phone anymore, it's also a camera and a
torch and a door stop and some other important things too. So we've created
the toughest cases we could to protect your most precious of daily devices
from getting hurt. We're using the single finest technology available today
for case decoration to actually infuse the design into your case for maximum
durability. They're constructed from the finest Amorphous Polymer which sounds
like it just crawled from the sea but is actually a very strong plastic that
s apparently used up there in space. It's extremely strong, like a post-spinach Popeye.
The Snap is a slim fitting one-piece clip-on case. Perfect for not ruining the
smooth lines of your skinny jeans. We know how important that is.
The Tough is a clip-on case with a unique black inner silicon absorbing sleeve
to take the stress from a drop. Ideal for people who lead a rough or accident
prone lifestyle, like stuntmen for instance.
We currently offer the snap & tough for the following styles:
Which iPhone have I succumbed to?
Which Samsung Galaxy have I succumbed to?
Which iPad have I succumbed to?
digimon, crest, courage
Gallant Designs comprises of two 4th year Graphic Design students, Adam (that's me) and Cody who currently live in the beautiful and always eventful central Iowa where we herd cattle and in our free time design t-shirts and iPhone cases that we thought may interest the wonderful people of the internet.

Sample Report
Per Kirkeby: White Masonites
Galleri Bo Bjerggaard starts the autumn season by showing new pieces by Per Kirkeby.
After more than a half century as an artist Per Kirkeby continues to renew and develop his work . This is evident in the exhibition Per Kirkeby – White masonites, opening in the three large gallery spaces at Galleri Bo Bjerggaard. The exhibition consists of 15 white masonites, created between 2011-2013. With these pieces Kirkeby reintroduces the naked masonite the way he used it during his involvement with "Eksskolen" (The Experimental Art School) in the 60s. This time, however, Kirkeby uses the expressions known from his well-known black masonites, sometimes mixed with elements we know only from his works on canvas.
Kirkeby has always worked in a serial manner in terms of format, media, motif and themes that he methodically continues to elaborate and refine. This is also evident in the masonites. Nils Ohlsen, director of old masters and modern art at Nasjonalmuseet, Oslo, Norway speaks about this in the exhibition catalogue: "The square format of the panels seems in itself to represent the kind of frame that demands again and again to be filled in a dialogue between the intellect and the creative process.
The works on Masonite when seen as a whole are a means of cognition, a field of experimentation, a display area for educational purposes and an arena for, and reservoir of, the artist's alphabet of objects and gestures. These pieces have taken on the role of standard works within Kirkeby's oeuvre, corresponding – when carried over into the realm of music – not to large symphonies, but rather to sonatas or fugues. The works on Masonite are the serial outcomes both formally and in respect of subject matter of moments of action open in all directions."
Per Kirkeby (born in Copenhagen, 1938) is one of the most internationally renowned Danish artist. He has been featured in numerous solo shows across the world, including Tate, London ( 1998 + 2009), Museum Kunstpalast, Düsseldorf (2010), Palais Bozar, Brussels (2012) and most recently at the Phillips Collection, Washington D.C. (2012) and the Bowdoin Museum of Art in Main (2013). Many international collections feature his work: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; MoMA, New York; Tate Modern, London and Centre Pompidou, Paris.
The opening for Per Kirkeby – White Masonites is Friday August 23, 4-6 PM. At the same time Galleri Bo Bjerggaard will launch the opening of a solo show with new works by the renowned British artist Anna Barriball in the gallery spaces facing east. All is welcome to this double-opening at Galleri Bo Bjerggaard that extraordinarily, as a part of the Copenhagen Art Week, will be open until 9 PM.
Per Kirkeby, White Masonites will continue until September 28.
Per Kirkeby will also be a part of the exhibition Greenland held by Gallery Bo Bjerggaard at the art fair CHART at Charlottenborg August 30 - September 1.

An incarnation of Laserbeak, and condor/cyborgs for the Cosmic Era
I dream of rain; I dream of gardens in the desert sand
--Sting, Desert Rose
Once known by another name, the port city of Dragon's Wake suffered terrible tragedy, from which it is still recovering.
Home to the fabled Shining Towers, a gleaming beacon of light for miles around.
Bluest of sapphires; the ice-cold jewel. From its hoary breath flows the bitter winter winds. The Lady Karina sits there for all eternity, looking deep into the eyes of her lover.
With power borne from their unusual markings, men and women of the Five Orders of Ivory Tower are guardians and rulers of the Desert Realms, and guides to the people. But what secrets lay beneath their strange tattoos?
When arcanotech fails, it fails spectacularly
A polished flake of porous stone, stained a deep, rusted brown, this once-hallowed knife contains traces of the eldest of magics.
At one time it was thought that the substance known as Anagra Estratius, or Devouring Fire, was an alchemical substance, tainted by the infernal components that went into its making.
An ornate reliquary box, covered in fine metalwork that twists the eye and causes headaches.
Mora stepped up to the wicked-looking pipe-organ; the carved demonic head which it was made from leered silently at him. Sweating with anxiety, Mora looked back to his friends before swallowing hard and shakily bringing his fingers to the ivory.
Mora pressed the keys down into several minor chords, and a thunderous peal of music echoed, sounding mockingly similar to a church. Suddenly, the eyes of the carved head lit up with fire, and with a *WHOOSH* a pillar of flames burst into life around Mora. The man's screams were cut short after just a second and the fire disappeared just as quickly. Mora was gone.
After a moment of shocked silence, Mora's friends cheered excitedly.
Favored minion of the necromancer Warmaker, the Ossilyth is a tank of an undead.
"They said it would bring us a new age of wonder, of exploration, of excitement. I don't think this is what they meant: us scurrying around like rats in our cities of steam and steel, far away from the land and the sun."
I know a guy who says he found a tower in the woods and saw a man fall out the window - straight up!
Just as the Dimensional Engine supplanted the fission reactor, the DTR will eventually replace the D-Engine. Once they iron out the little bugs.
Did you ever wonder where the moon comes from?
There's money to be made ripping the past out of the ground and turning it back into usable reclaimed materials. It just takes the right equipment and the wrong people.
How does a culture measure time underground, without any sun? The dwarves have got it covered.
In the world of Delta Factor, not every battle takes place between costumed superhumans, or holds the fate of the world in the balance.
Hailing from a long line of brewers, Stout has given up the life of the beer-maker for the life of the Adventurer-Upon-Return
The massive blade known as Consequences carries several potent enchantments of battle, but also has a frustrating quirk: Its wielder finds himself unable to put it down until he enters the presence of a magistrate or other authority. Even then, it instantly returns to his hands if he has committed murder and fails to confess. Unless he somehow resists the blade's magic, the weilder's hands then run with fresh blood; the judgmental blade fights his every motion until he confesses his crimes.
