Detroit's mayor Ken Cockrel Jr. on Friday, Sept. 19, 2008.
- Filed Under
Detroit Mayor Ken Cockrel Jr. is calling on federal officials to postpone the scheduled Feb. 17 change that moves broadcast television channels to a digital format that requires viewers without cable, satellite or other television service to obtain a special box to receive a signal.
Cockrel, in a letter to Michael Copps, a Federal Communications Commissioner who was in Detroit today, said despite a massive outreach effort to get boxes in the hands of those who still use a television antenna to receive a signal, too many would be left with no television service when the changover occurs. ...

Respect for Royalty, Bangkok
26 Reviews
26 Reviews
After living in Bangkok for over a year I have learned many things about the Thai People that I wanted to share with other foreigners living or vacationing here should know. The first thing you have to accept is that eastern culture is different. The people in the east are less emotional and more polite and while they know westerners are different, they often are uncomfortable when we stray from their norms. The things I found to be important are listed below in order of importance:
1. Be Polite - Thai people hold being polite above all else. Their very language has politeness built into it. If you follow what is considered "common courtesy" you will be fine.
2. Thai King - The Thai People Love their King, King Rama IX. Never show any type of disrespect to him.
3. National Religion - Buddhism is Thailand's national Religion with nearly 95% of Thailand's population being Buddhist. All Buddha images are considered sacred and there are laws against removing these images for anything other that personal worship.
4. Be Quiet - Loud people are considered impolite. Speak softly and do not laugh loudly. Of course there are the common places such as bars that being loud is appropriate.
5. Body Odor - Thai people almost never smell badly and they find it offensive if others do.
6. Crowds - if you go to areas in Thailand during Thai holiday's and celebrations, be prepared to encounter many people. To Western experience the volume of these areas can be incredible. Be prepared to be pushed and shoved and be aware that they mean no harm. Thai people
7. Watch where you walk - The side walks in Bangkok are uneven and full of obstacles, pay attention. Oh, also, the streets have many stray dogs; the dogs are not aggressive but do leave landmines on the sidewalks.
8. Taxi drivers (enough said) - Most taxi drivers are fine. Generally, it is always better to use the metered taxis. Tuktuks are always more expensive and with Bangkok traffic you could be breathing in a lot of smog on the way. If you are going a significant distance negotiate… Also, the Taxis marked "We love farang, we speak English", well most of them do not. They do have a radio that has a person that knows a little English.
9. Movie Theater - After the advertizing and right before the movie a tribute to the Thai King Comes on and everyone stands in respect.
10. Driving in Thailand - If you are a brave one and decide that you want drive yourself around Thailand, don't be too worried, it really isn't that bad. There are just several things to understand. Drivers use the left side instead of the right, like in the US, and the roads tend to be narrower than in the US. So driving next to a bus or a truck can be a little intimidating.
Following these tips will allow you to have better understanding of the Thai people and more fun in your stay in Bangkok, allowing the locals to be more comfortable with you and give you a better understanding of how things function in Thailand.
Here are just a few, but the most important rules.
Do Smile:
Thailand is known as the land of smiles. Thais do not necessarily smile about something like we do in the west. They smile for a variety of other reasons too. To say hello or thank you, to make a request, to apologize, to smooth over bad feelings or to show embarrassment.
Do show respect for the king: Thai people show great respect for their king and they expect visitors to do so too. The national anthem is played twice a day (typically at 8am and 6 pm) and also before every film at the cinema. Everyone is expected to stand whilst it is playing. You should never insult or joke about the king or royal family.
Do show respect for their main religion, for the Buddha, and for monks. Shorts or tank tops should not be worn in a temple, and shoes should be removed before entering. It is considered very improper for women to touch a monk.
Do not touch anyone on the head. The head is considered to be very sacred.
Do not point your feet at anyone or anything. This is quite hard for a westerner to follow as, without realising it, we do in some circumstances seem to use our feet quite a lot e.g closing or opening doors. I never realised how much I use my feet until I was made very conscious of it in Thailand.
Do not step over anyone instead walk around them.
Thai people have much respect for others. There is a hierarchy from the King at the very top to the labourers at the bottom. Everyone knows his or her position on the hierarchy tree and shows their position by way of what you could call the 'height rule'. In any social encounter the social superiors head must always be higher than the social inferiors head. The lower you stoop means you show more respect to the person you meet or are passing by.
In a school situation this is more evident and it can be quite an eye opener to watch. As a white person I am seen quite high up the hierarchy tree. This means that other teachers will stoop as they pass me even if they are much older than me. (Thai people respect their elders like we do). I do find this a bit unnerving so I tend to stoop too, thus giving them as much respect back.
HM the King of Thailand is one of the world's longest reigning monarch who has done much good for his country and subjects. He is widely respected and held in high esteem by the entire country. In Thailand, one will see much show of affection for the King and the Royal Family in many ways - such as this billboard celebrating his 80th Birthday, the wearing of yellow (or pink, red, blue) shirts emblazoned with royal emblems, the flying of flags along roads and in residences, merit making at temples in his honour...etc.
He has worked tirelessly over the years for the benefit of the Kingdom and it would be a grave insult to the Thais if one should speak disparagingly of the King, Monarchy and of Thai royalty. Please be mindful when it comes to this topic.
May he live long !
At 8am and 6pm, it's time for national anthem. In public, around these specific time, dont get freaked out when you see people stop walking ll of the sudden and stand still. The song you hear is our national anthem. It's our custom to pay respect to the country, to the royal family, to the past, through this song. We wont call you names or anything if you keep on walking. It would be nice though if you do the same.
Aside from the gold there is a rather intriguing amount of symbolism associated with the Royal Family. Two sets that most usually crop up are:
The little golden umbrella pyramid style things that go above the head in many images and statues. For the King and Lord Buddha you get nine of these in a series above the head. For the Queen, well she gets seven, and other members of the Royal Family, they are on five, until they get a promotion.
Then there are often the "Golden Egg" type things that are positioned around the image / statue. These "fruits", as my team tell me - so let's hope they are not winding me up again - originally come from the sacred Buddha tree and are changed into silver and gold when they are offered as gifts.
In this day and age many a nation knocks their royal families. In Thailand the King does as good a job as anyone in such a position could. Not only does King Bhumipol (Rama IX) manage to motivate and unite most of the nation, He also manages to quieten down the politicians when things go somewhat astray. He popped up on TV to quieten / dispel military coups. One King that has most certainly earnt His respect.
The King and Queen of Thailand is very revered by the people; so much that sometimes it felt almost in a religious way.
All over Bangkok you will see the pictures of the King and Queen; either in shops, restaurants, or even posters on the road.
When you go to the cinema, before the film start they will play a song in admiration for the King and people are expected to stand up in respect.
I know it can all be too much for a Westerner, but please refrain yourself from making fun of the Royal family and the Thai's admiration of them. This will be very offensive to most Thai.
The Thai are very polite and gracious people, if you make fun of the Royal family they probably will just smile and leave rather than try to argue, but when you disrespect their King you will lose their respect immediately.
The Ramayana -- an epic from the Hindu tradition in India is also part of the Thai culture & lore. Many of the murals at The Grand Palace are based on this tale. This image is of the White Monkey King and the golden mermaid.
A person can notice coming to Bangkok that many people (men and women) are wearing light pink shirts. Dress shirts, polo shirts or tee shirts in light pink. Winston, my VT friend, explained how the Thai people love their King and Queen. The King was recently ill and hospitalized (2008). After becoming well and departing from the hospital he happen to be wearing pink. This was all over the media. Because the Thai people saw he was wearing pink and were happy that he was well once more, they honor him by wearing this color.
They also wear the color yellow on Mondays. The King's color is yellow and the King was born on a Monday. Hence, wearing yellow on Mondays.
Thais as a whole, almost 100%, listen to their King. Whoever you ask on the streets, they will sing praises of their King. It is amazing. A word from their King can stop almost all disputes. It is a custom for centuries I heard from the locals. So please give respect to other royalities or symbols of them.
The king of Thailand is much loved as is his wife. They have both supported many projects that have helped ordinary Thai people. You will find displays such as this in many restaurants and public places.
If on a particular day,
the majority of the population
is dressed in yellow shirts,
it's in honor of the King.
Yellow shirts are sold a every other corner,
and the people of Bangkok,
proudly wear them with pride.
Especially this year
to celebrate 60 years of the Kings reign.
We visited Bangkok on the year of 60th anniversary of King Bumiphol ascension to throne. Many Thai people were celebrating it by wearing a shirt of Kings colour (yellow) on Mondays (in fact, we saw people wearing those shirts every day of the week, but on Mondays there were a greater number of them). King Bumiphol was born on a Monday, and the colour for this day is yellow. Most of Thai people love their king and wore this clothes as a symbol of respect
Visitamos Bangkok en el año del 60 aniversario de la ascension del Rey Bhumiphol al trono. Muchos thai lo celebraban llevando una camisa o polo del color del Rey (amarillo) los lunes (de hecho vimos a gente llevando esas camisas todos los dias de la semana, pero los lunes habia un numero mas grande). El rey Bhumiphol nacio un lunes, y el color para este dia es el amarillo. Las mayoria de los thailandeses quieren mucho a su rey y llevan estas prendas como simbolo de respeto.
The Thai's generally seem to be very patriotic. They are also very proud of their monarch, and it is not at all uncommon to see photographs of the king in local homes or even in stores. You will see other examples of patriotism all over the city, and for example you will even have to stand for the national anthem prior to a cinema screening a film.

Phase Transition is an installation of recent paintings and a wall mural from Pierce's geometric abstraction series. In his work, he employs multiple layers of vivid optical rhythms, and purposely counters the rational pattern with unpredictable variations.
Pierce received an MFA in Art Theory & Practice from Northwestern University in 2007. His work has been reviewed in Modern Painters Magazine, Visual Art Source, and Papercut Magazine. He recently had a solo show at Butler University and participated in group shows at CAM Raleigh, Johalla Projects, and Nebraska Wesleyan University. His first large scale mural was completed in September 2014 for Hoop Dreams, a charity basketball tournament by Empty Bottle Presents.

Visual Art Source: Editors Pick
Cole Pierce, "Triangle is the Strongest Shape #37," 2013, oil and acrylic on canvas, 20 x 20"
It's not that easy to put together a compelling group show of geometric abstraction, not for lack of contemporary engagement with the genre (it certainly has no shortage of practitioners), but because innovative, novel approaches to the dialogue are hard to come by. In "Measurable Inconsistencies," however, Richard Blackwell, Cole Pierce, and Zin Helena Song, brought together by curator Tyler Blackwell, provide abstractions that deviate from the well-worn course with smart, playful uses of space, perception and texture.
Continuing through August 31, 2014
In works like Chicago-based Pierce's "Triangle is the Strongest Shape #23," what initially appears to be flat, uniform patterning is upon closer viewing a shallow but dimensional relief of deep brush strokes and rigid taped off edges. In four sculptures by New York artist Song, the use of painted corners and actual ones confuse the eye. As the viewer moves around the pieces, you are never able to see all the planes from any one angle. Blackwell contributes an installation. A framed print of a geometric form is covered in a geometric pattern and hung on a geometrically patterned, screen printed wall. This produces commingling notions of fore- and background that exudes an exuberance of form and repetition.

Opening Reception: Friday, July 25 from 7-10pm
By Appointment Only
Johalla Projects is very pleased to announce MEASURABLE INCONSISTENCIES, a summer group exhibition bringing together the artwork of three artists who work directly with shape, form, and structure. The exhibition will run from JULY 25 to AUGUST 31, 2014. An opening reception will be held on Friday, July 25 from 7-10pm.
At a primary level, Richard Blackwell, Cole Pierce, and Zin Helena Song each employ the geometric shape, using its formal qualities to inform and populate their works. More interesting, however, is the true nature of these artists' practices, which function further to create breaks in the rigid structure, to create new interactions, or to disassemble the form entirely. Color also plays a vital role in this assemblage of works and operates chiefly as a catalyst for vivid optical rhythms and compositional choices.
Here, MEASURABLE INCONSISTENCIES explores these departures from pure form and instead inspects more subversive takes on geometric abstraction. By strategically incorporating unpredictable variations in the compositional framework of their respective works, Blackwell, Pierce, and Song arrive at a more engaging formula that encourages rigorous interactivity.
MEASURABLE INCONSISTENCIES is curated by Tyler Blackwell.
LVL3 Artist of the Week Interview
Cole Pierce lives and works in Chicago. He earned an MFA in Art Theory and Practice from Northwestern University, a Post-Baccalaureate in Painting and Drawing from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, a BA in Art and a BA Sociology from Cornell College. He recently had a solo show at Butler University, was in a group show at CAM Raleigh, has been in numerous exhibitions in and around Chicago and also as far as Cairo, Egypt and Sarajevo, Bosnia. Modern Painters Magazine reviewed his work in 2012 and he has been featured in many online publications including Papercut Magazine, Disquiet, Art Social, and Sixty Inches from the Center. He is a co-author of Field Mic, a sound art and music blog and is a contributor to NUMBERS.FM, an experimental music radio station.
Tell us a little bit about yourself and what you do.
I grew up in Iowa and moved to Chicago shortly after college, where I lived in a house full of art students and transients before going to graduate school. Back then my practice included anything and everything, and in grad school I narrowed it down to painting, found object installation, and video. I was interested in finding and making a quiet flickering moment that I equated to everyday epiphanies. I graduated in 2007 from NU and for a couple years I was in brainstorming mode, inventing systems to make abstract paintings and making analog glitch videos. My current project, the Triangle is the Strongest Shape, came out of that brainstorming period. This series started in 2008 but I was also working on 2 or 3 other projects at the same time. In 2011 I decided to dedicate my studio to the Triangle series because I realized that all of the issues I was interested in could be found in these paintings of skewed triangle grids. I was, and still am fascinated with the visceral effect of Op Art and it being an example of a limit of cognition. By the time I was technically able to achieve a mind-blowing optical effect, I became more interested in the imperfections and started to add elements that detracted from the strong optics. I wanted to focus on the phase transition into the optical effect, which I am still working on today.
What are some recent, upcoming or current projects you are working on?
I am currently working on a set of three paintings, a kind of subset of the series, each sized 48"x 60" in mostly black to white gradients. They will be #44, #45 and #46 of the series, and they are the first paintings I've made where there are multiple layers of gradients over the masked off triangle grid.
I also have an ongoing side project where I make an edition of audio multiples about once a year. It is essentially an intricate mix CD of ambient, electronic and found sounds that I distribute to a mailing list and share on the internet. I sent out the last edition in March of 2014, and this summer I will start collecting songs that will determine the theme for the next edition.
What are you currently watching on Netflix/what's on your Netflix queue?
I don't know about Netflix but the new Fargo series on FX is fun to watch. Some of the intros are long, one-take scenes like Gus Van Zant or Bela Tarr, minimal and sinister.
What is one of the bigger challenges you and/or other artists are struggling with these days and how do you see it developing?
The biggest challenge is making a decent living. There are plenty of opportunities to exhibit in Chicago and the arts community here is strong but the market is not so supportive. There are a handful of success stories, but most artists I know have day jobs and are now starting families. My kids were both born when I was in grad school so I've had time to find a balance between work/art making/parenting. It is still a struggle, especially on beautiful days when I'd rather be at the beach with my kids than working in the studio.
What materials do you use in your work and what is your process like?
My process is formulaic and I make gradual changes over time. I keep a notebook with rough sketches and ideas to try. I'll make 3 or 4 paintings with similar color and compositions before moving on to the next idea. I start with a layer of acrylic, which I cover in a pattern of triangles that I have cut out of painters tape. This is the time consuming part where I slowly build the structure and decide how many glitches will disrupt the pattern. After the tape is sealed I'll use oils to paint a gradient or a fluid abstraction. The final product is revealed when I peel off the tape.
What artists are you interested in right now?
Tauba Auerbach and her instagram feed, Jessica Eaton, Anoka Faruqee, Russell Tyler, and Jeremy DePrez to name a few. I've unintentionally become a heavy tumblr user, and will frequently post artwork I find on the internet. So you could say I'm interested in a gazillion artists right now but I don't know if they really count because I've only seen their work on a bright digital screen. I try to reserve judgement until I've seen it for real.
How has your work developed within the past year?
Last winter I decided to complicate the paintings further by adding a layer of smaller triangles, which is the beginning of the Sierpinski fractal pattern. This made the pattern more detailed and it also gave me an extra layer to play with, so I could combine various gradient compositions. Last fall I was experimenting with vibrant color combinations, which I was happy with, but when I changed up the composition I decided to return to black and white in order to focus on what the new structure was doing. I have one more painting to make in this black and white mode and then I'll decide how to bring more vibrant colors into the mix.
What are you really excited about right now?
Biking 20 miles a day on my commute to work now that the weather is nice and Chicago is beautiful once again.
Listening to audiobooks in the studio. I just finished the Hyperion Cantos by Dan Simmons, an epic sci fi space drama. Another of my recent favorites is 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami. The process of taping off the canvas is quite time consuming so I just settle in and put on an audio book.
Any current or upcoming shows we should know about (that we can include in our LVL3 Media calendar)?
I'm in a group show at Johalla Projects that opens July 28th. Josue Pellot and I are working on a collaborative piece for a show at Roman Susan on October 10th. I also have work in a massive group show in October at Elder Gallery in LIncoln, NE.
What are you listening to right now?
Future Islands, Deru, Ray Charles, Colin Vallon Trio, Man Forever & So Percussion, anything that comes out on 12k, and the Lee Scratch Perry Pandora station.

The Blood Soaked Road To Enlightenment: An Interview With David Metcalfe
Disinfonauts! Some have this idea that enlightenment can be bought one yoga mat at a time at Whole Foods, but is that the real deal? With so many soft core eastern traditions infiltrating western culture, how do we parse the legitimate from the bullshit?
I had a great conversation with Esotericist, Hermit, Santa Muerte expert and all around, great guy, David Metcalfe for my podcast and we tackle the subject of the Blood Soaked Road to Enlightenment.
I just had to share it with you all.
Psilocybin: The Science behind a Magical Molecule
Excellent summary of some of the recent scientific research on the main constituent of psychedelic fungi via The Nexian:
Psilocybin is a naturally occurring psychedelic compound found in many species of mushrooms. In this form it has a long history of use by humanity in the context of healing and divination, and it is still employed in this manner today by indigenous groups such as the Mazatec. Since the 1960's awareness of psilocybin and the fungi within which it resides has spread into the Western world. Following the legal clamp down that resulted from widespread use of this and other psychedelics like LSD and mescaline at this time, scientific research into this compound and other psychedelics all but drew to a halt. In the last few years regulatory red tape has been loosening to some degree, and scientists have began studying psilocybin for a number of reasons. It appears that psilocybin is a highly multifaceted compound and has the capacity to act as a profound tool in the study of the brain and consciousness, as well as act as a treatment for a variety of psychological conditions.… Read the rest
Let Me State the Obvious: Transhumanism is Really Influenced by the Drug War
You ever notice how supposedly smart people are often too dumb to realize that there are different kinds of intelligence. I mean, Jimi Hendrix probably wouldn't be able to write code for shit, but he could play the hell out of a guitar. Last time I checked, Henry Miller isn't a science legend and LeBron James isn't a technological icon. I love that sermon that Jesus gave about organic chemistry. I'm pretty sure that's the one that got him killed. Man, what's at the movies this weekend? Yeah, a bunch of new films about how to make better computers, totally. I suppose the reason I mention this has to do with the fact that in the last week or so I've stumbled upon roughly 5 different articles by highly respected scientists informing me that computers are going be smarter than humans in the near future. Anytime anyone says something like this the appropriate response should be, what the fuck are you talking about?… Read the rest
The Cosmic Trigger Play and Find the Others Conferestival Kicks Off This Weekend
Should be noted that the crowdfunding campaign was a rousing success, and my favorite book about summoning aliens with your privates is coming to a stage in Liverpool this Sunday, November 23rd (of course) and again in London the following weekend. Not only that but there's going to be an epic "Conferestival" on Saturday to kick things into the upper echelons of high strangeness. Apparently, some of my collage sigils even made it into the tantric sex sequence of the play, which is magickally appropriate. To say that I'm more than a bit honored by this creative decision would be a massive understatement. If only I was a richer man who could justify spending my money on such a trip, I'd be there in a heartbeat, but alas it is not to be at this point in my life. Apparently they might make it to the states here if it's successful enough (come to Seattle) but if you happen to live in the UK, make it fucking so.… Read the rest
Turn On, Tune In, Rise Up: DMT, Globalization, and Radical Psychedelic Engagement
This presentation was given by David Nickles at Liminal Village at the 2014 Boom Festival in Idanha-a-Nova, Portugal. David is a moderator on the DMT-Nexus forum and contributing editor with The Nexian:
Forty-three years after the UN Convention on Psychotropic Substances imposed global prohibition on psychedelic compounds, demarcating governmental efforts to end the first psychedelic revolution, a second major psychedelic awakening is underway. Set amidst the landscape of late capitalism, this resurgence is unfolding in the forms of renewed focus on sanctioned psychedelic research, the emergence of significant underground psychedelic research, and the rhizomorphic spread of global festival cultures.
The role of DMT in this "archaic revival" is impossible to ignore. From Nick Sands' discovery that DMT freebase could be smoked in the early 60's, to Terence McKenna's discussions of the vaporized DMT experience sowing seeds in countless imaginations during the 80's and 90's, to the rise of internet forums and the DMT-Nexus in the 21st century, distributing information rendering the molecule accessible worldwide, DMT has manifested itself into popular consciousness at a truly astonishing rate.… Read the rest
Creativity, Madness and Drugs
via Scientific American:
… Read the rest
Would we have Poe's Raven today if the tormented author had taken lithium to suppress his bipolar illness? Not likely, considering the high frequency of psychiatric illnesses among writers and artists, concluded psychiatrist Kay Jamison of Johns Hopkins Medical School speaking last week at the Society for Neuroscience annual meeting in San Diego. Madness electrifies the creative process, Jamison concluded, but this difficult drug-use dilemma raises an even more provocative question:
Would we have Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds had the Beatles not taken LSD?
Lord Tennyson, Virginia Woolf and Vincent Van Gogh are familiar examples of artists and writers who suffered serious mental illnesses, but Jamison explained that psychiatric illness was the cruel engine of their creativity. Tracing their family pedigrees, she showed that many of these artists' siblings, parents and descendants were institutionalized in mental hospitals, committed suicide, or endured life-long struggles with mania, despair, schizophrenia or other mental disorders.
Dr. Rick Strassman Sheds Light on the Mysterious, Profound Paradox Hiding Within Us- DMT
Join Dr. Rick Strassman (DMT the Spirit Molecule, DMT and the Soul of Prophecy) and I as we discuss the deeply mysterious, alien-filled inter-dimensional chemical portal that is DMT.
"DMT is a forcible reminder that there's a lot more about reality, the universe, ourselves, (and) the biosphere than we imagine." – Dennis McKenna.
Within your body, there's a chemical gateway to another world and it's called DMT (dimethyltryptamine).
As if that weren't crazy enough, it's not just in the human body. In fact, it's quite commonplace throughout nature. DMT is produced within every mammal and found in thousands of plant species (which indigenous cultures have taken advantage in ceremonies for thousands of years). Why is this compound with such extreme psychedelic capabilities so ubiquitous and what is its practical function? There's no consensus.
Chemically speaking, DMT is not a complicated substance. In fact, it closely resembles neurotransmitters and essential amino acids that your brain is brimming with.… Read the rest
Magic Mushrooms Create a Hyperconnected Brain
via Live Science:
Magic mushrooms may give users trippy experiences by creating a hyperconnected brain.
The active ingredient in the psychedelic drug, psilocybin, seems to completely disrupt the normal communication networks in the brain, by connecting "brain regions that don't normally talk together," said study co-author Paul Expert, a physicist at King's College London.
The research, which was published today (Oct. 28) in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface, is part of a larger effort to understand how psychedelic drugs work, in the hopes that they could one day be used by psychiatrists — in carefully controlled settings — to treat conditions such as depression, Expert said.

Listen- Why You Have Heroic Potential and Shouldn't Fear Shape-Shifting Lizards, The Illuminati, ISIS or Ebola.
Fellow Disinfonaut, Author and pal, Gabriel D. Roberts joins the podcast!
"You as you know yourself are not the final term of your being. You must die to that, one way or another… Life is always on the edge of death, always. One should lack fear and have the courage of life. That's the principle initiation of all heroic stories." – Joseph Campbell.
As the great Joseph Campbell so beautifully points out, you my friend, are goddamned hero.
I know that's weird to say, let alone admit to yourself. It seems ostentatious, self-aggrandizing and ridiculous. However, it's totally true.
We lose sight of what it is that each and every one of us is charged with just by being alive– We're born, we do our best on this planet, decade after decade, then die. It's a positively gargantuan task in and of itself that shouldn't be diminished.… Read the rest

Historical Traveler Reviews Yunak Evleri Urgup
Fantastic place to stay
I have to admit, when I looked at the reviews of this hotel I thought it would struggle to live up to the hype, however it did. We stayed for 4 nights in a cave suite with its own courtyard and were very impressed. The staff are so helpful, they even organised a cake for my birthday!! The breakfasts are wonderful, lovely jams and breads, the dinner was good, although not spectacular, and the check out bill process hurried and confusing (hence only 4 stars).
Urgup is a great town, bars are cool, shops interesting, people friendly.
If you want a different holiday, somewhere memorable, Cappodocia is the place, and based on our stay I couldn't recommend this hotel highly enough.
Some Do's and Donts
Do have beers on the terrace.
Do walk the Red Valley on your own, its wonderful
Do let the hotel organise tours and baloon rides, they are cheaper beleive it or not than booking direct.
Do use Argeus tours if you want to book direct
Don't (under any circumstances) go to the whirling dervishes show - its rubbish (really jaw droppinly rubbish)
Don't use Akhal Teke Horse Centre for riding, they are all thats bad about African riding for Europeans, no safety info, no English speakers, pressure to pay, different charges for different hotels etc etc oh and unsafe horses.
Soz to end on a low note - but that was all of them, overal a fab fab place!!
Lovely Staff
Everything is perfect in this Hotel.
Staff is so friendly..
I recommend to everybody to visit this hotel.
Fantastic Place to Stay
We stayed at the Yunak Evleri for 2 nights in July '06 and loved it. We are amused that the Lonely Planet guide is a bit dismissive of the place, so off base.
I had several emails with the staff before arriving to arrange a hot air balloon ride (definitely a must do, BTW), and to help with directions as we were driving there, and the response from the staff was very quick and very helpful. Everyone speaks English quite well.
Upon being greeted, we were offered a place to sit, and a beverage while the room was checked to be sure it was ready. The hotel has less than 30 rooms, and is quite spread out, so you feel like you are alone much of the time. The main building has a kitchen in it which guests can access for a vast array of beverages at any time (at a hefty markup, I must add)--just place a check mark on a piece of paper on the fridge! An informal part of the hotel that I found sort of charming. There are different levels of rooms, some of which are in a newer building and are not in the caves...staying in the caves is a big part of this hotel, just pay the extra money and do it!
Each of the cave rooms has its own terrace with chairs and small table for having a drink and admiring the view. The view is incredible, but the hotel is much closer to the "city" than it appears on their website. There are people's homes rignt up against the hotel on all sides, and the pics on their website make it seem like you are very isolated--not the case. It was still very quite and restful.
The room we had had a nice sitting area, a large comfortable king size bed, CD player stereo, desk, multiple furniture for stowing things and a very nice modern bathroom with all the mod cons. Urgup and Goreme are pretty rustic-type towns, so its sort of odd to be staying in such a luxurious place, and I loved it! So nice to come back to this after a hot day exploring.
There is a lovely terrace restaurant for breakfast (part of the room) and dinner (extra). Our first night we wanted to eat on the terrace and it was not set for dinner...it was "too cold" and dinner was inside in a somewhat charm-less room. We started to leave into town to eat, and they changed plans and allowed us to eat, by ourselves, on the terrace, even bringing blankets to keep warm after the sun went down (it was probably 60+ degrees, but breezy). The meal was very good, and service efficient.
All the staff of the hotel were professional, friendly and always around wanting to help. Staff stand outside the main building most of the day to greet you and help with whatever your needs may be. Urgup was a good place to stay; its just a few minutes walk into "town", and while touristy, its much less so than Goreme (which is just 10 minutes drive away--they'll arrange taxi if you don't have a car). As a side note, we went into Urchisar on our way out of the region and we stunned by how great it was; lots of nice looking places to stay and some pretty good looking restaurants...yet the town is barely mentioned in our guide books...might be worth checking out staying there if you're not set on Urgup.
All told, this was an exceptional property and a delightful stay, I recommend it very highly.
The best hotel in Urgup
Stayed at Yunak Evleri for 4 nights and I would highly recommend this hotel. Lovely rooms, very tasteful decor and excellant service. The nicest hotel in Urgup.
What a fabulous experience!
My husband and I loved this hotel! The rooms are beautiful and large, and the bathrooms are huge, clean, and have unbelievable water pressure in the showers. The proprietor of the hotel is extremely friendly and helpful, and the hotel is very quiet and peaceful. The breakfast (included in the room price) is tasty and fresh, and the available dinners are delicious and an exceptional value for $20. The hotel is well-located a short walk from downtown Urgup and very near a wine company that has a tasting room. You won't forget staying at this hotel--it's an experience not to be missed! We're definitely going back!
Unlike anywhere else!
Yunak Evleri is a fabulous base from which to explore Cappadocia. After seeing all the rock-cut villages and churches, you can retire to your very own rock-cut suite! It's quite a dramatic sight to round the bend up the hill and come upon this honeycombed cliff-turned-hotel. But you don't have to be a cave man to enjoy it - the rooms and suites are decked out with wood floors, Turkish carpets, kilims, etc. Some have their own fireplaces, and all have fabulous marble baths. And even in November when we stayed, it was perfectly warm in our room. The restaurant was delightful as well - a great place to dine if you don't feel like descending into downtown Urgup itself. We had just a wonderful time - I can't imagine a better place to stay to experience Cappadocia.
What an experience!
We found this hotel online, and my only complaint is that we did not have more time to enjoy it! We got a personal greeting, cup of tea, and a tour from the manager upon arrival. The room was superb - cool and comfortable even in the middle of summer. The view from our front step was of the whole town and at night it was just us, the crickets and the muzzein crying the call to prayer. And the bathrooms!! All gray marble with glass showers. I wanted to pack it in my suitcase and take it home. We'd return there anytime.
Sublime, Serene, Divine in the Cave Hotels
Luxurious, earthy, and peaceful, the Yunak Evleri Cave Hotel in Cappadocia is sublimly divine. It is listed in both the Hideaway report and 1000 places to see before you die for good reason.
Under a full moon as the call to prayer melted over our ears and the scent of the fresh high plateau air filled our lungs, we arrived to find our suite ready and a late dinner prepared just for us. A welcoming table sat next to the fireplace as we ate one of the best meals in our two week journey. We had fun seeing three different cave rooms and chose the suite complete with a stunning view of this unique geological area, known as the land of Fairy Chimneys. The bathroom suprassed the Ciragan Palace with its local pottery accessories, steam shower unit, jacuzzi tub, and oh so clean. An attention to detail is found throughout from the antiques in your room, the cubby holes in the rock, the candles, the couches with Turkish pillows, the CDs and CD player in the bedroom....this place is a delight.
Wake up to the sound of birds and the fresh air. Take in the view of the mountains and the fairy chimneys while sipping the region's famous apple tea. Walk down to a fresh breakfasts of ripe tomatoes, cheeses, olives, breads, fabulous preserves, fresh OJ, eggs, apricots and more while classical music plays.
The manager arranged a top notch tour for us with Irlfan. He turned out to be the photographer of the region's famous tour books. We discussed the plans over a sunny breakfast outside as a turtle sauntered by. The Yunak cave hotel made us feel welcomed, attended to our needs and yet we had a sense of serene privacy.
Only a 45 minute flight from Istanbul and then a short car ride (free airport transfer), you are then whisked to this serene land with its 7th century caves, outdoor archeological museums, and the best baklava ever (ask Irlfan for the store). Climb fairy chimneys and lie on a 6th Century's Saint's stone bed and pillow, Visit the Turasan winery nearly next door; Explore the hidden underground dwellings as well as the high above caves; Stroll the newly refreshed center of Urgup; or just relax on your porch star gazing.
It was magic!
A little gem!
This hotel is gorgeous! The location is stunning, in a magical landscape. The rooms are very luxurious, large and comfortable with amazing bathrooms . The hotel is beautifully decorated. Everything was spotlessly clean.
Diner and breakfast are served on a terrace with a fantastic view. Diner was delicious, much better than the food we had in Istanbul!
The staff was very friendly and helpful.
This hotel is really the perfect place for a fabulous stay in Cappadocia.
My husband and I had a deluxe room at this hotel and it was *stunning*. (See the website - our room really did look like the deluxe room in the photograph. ---yunak--- You feel an incredible sense of history when you enter the hotel and your room. The room was spotless and had both a bedroom and a separate seating area so that we could plan our day, write postcards, etc. (The bedroom had a nice stereo system so bring your CDs if you want music.) The bathroom was very large and had a fantastic shower. We had a lovely view from our balcony. At night, the stars were incredible. The room was extremely quiet. The staff was friendly and very helpful.
Breakfast (included) was delicious! I am a vegetarian and my husband eats meat. We both had more than enough options and left extremely full and happy. We had dinner there one night and thought that the food was very good.
We visited in September and found the room temperature very comfortable so I don't know if the room has air conditioning.
We highly recommend this hotel and would stay there again in an instant! Enjoy your trip!

We again rose before dawn in the hopes of a balloon flight today. As we walked outside we could see stars which we took as a positive sign. We were driven to the Kaya tent and the wait began.

Narrow your search
The $180 Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 is a fine choice for a budget tablet, but it's ultimately bested by great older devices, and new slates that are cheaper still.
A thinner, lighter gaming laptop, the Acer Aspire V Nitro Black Edition satisfies with an excellent screen and performance and understated good looks.
Poki is an excellent Windows Phone client for the Pocket bookmarking service, and a few missing features don't spoil the slick, simple experience.
Pricing not available
While the new Surface Pro 3 is Microsoft's best PC to date, it's more successful as a tablet than a laptop replacement.
If you're on tightest of budgets, the Acer Iconia One 7 will meet your needs for very casual use, but don't expect more than that.
The dual-SIM handset challenges Nokia's low-cost Windows phones in the US, Europe, and Latin America.
Download Facebook Messenger if you want the same robust chatting features from Facebook's Web site on your phone.
Pricing not available
Betting on a full 1080p display partly justifies the Dell Venue 11 Pro's higher price compared to other Atom-powered tablets. But the keyboard dock add-on, which should turn this into a functional laptop alternative, is too expensive and occasionally frustrating to use.
It's not as much of a conversation piece as the tank-like Alienware 18, but the slimmer, lighter Alienware 17 is arguably more practical for serious gamers with realistic budgets.
Pricing not available
There's a premium to be paid, but the massive Alienware 18 is a show-off-worthy desktop replacement that takes down even the newest PC games, and is just plain fun to use.

Face Painters at the Melbourne Zoo
We Love Face Painting! creates animal faces for children and adults at the zoo.
Melbourne, Victoria (PRWEB) February 11, 2013
Melbourne-based body artists had another extremely successful event at the Melbourne Zoo on Jan. 21 to paint faces and bodies.
WeLoveFacePainting.com.au brought triple the usual number of painters for the event, said company owner Shelley Bledsoe. She said that´s unusual, but the venue called for more people than usual.
"The zoo is a big place and is always packed with people," she said. "I knew we´d need a lot more artists to keep up with the demand and I was right. It was a grand day at the zoo and we made a lot of people and children very happy."
Ms. Bledsoe said she is looking forward to having similar events throughout the Melbourne area as events and time allow.
"Face painting and body painting is fun for everyone," she said. "Children love having designs on their faces and parents like the fact the paint washes off easily later. Adults also enjoy getting painted because it´s something simple, quick and easy and lets them express themselves."
We Love Face Painting! is based in Melbourne, Victoria. It was established by Shelley Bledsoe in 2007.
"With a background in Makeup Artistry, face painting was a natural progression. Our team thoroughly loves what we do and pride ourselves on our reliability, and quality work. Our face painting designs range from popular full face to cheek art," she said.
The best part of the work is how people react, she said.
"We love our work because it is such a great joy to make people feel special. We love how face painting makes us feel too! Our greatest reward is feeling connected to the community, we are privileged to share in your special occasions, and to meet people from all walk of life," she said. "We love to watch the magic of art impact on peoples' lives. It is our teams sincerest desire to provide each person we paint with a feeling of joy, satisfaction and personal value in the time we spend with them."

Meyer calls on Boks to improve
ESPN Staff
August 18, 2012
Bryan Habana scored South Africa's third try © Getty Images
Heyneke Meyer called on his side to improve next week after seeing the Springboks beat tournament newcomers Argentina 27-6 in Cape Town on Saturday.
Tries from Bryan Habana, Marcell Coetzee and Zane Kirchner gave the Boks the win with Morne Steyn contributing the rest of the points with the boot. Despite the win taking them to the top of the Rugby Championship table, Meyer wants his team to step it up a gear next week in Argentina against the Pumas.
"I would like us to have got the four tries that would have given us a bonus point," Meyer told Supersport. "But this is Test rugby and tries don't come that easily. I felt we could have finished better than we did, although the team is improving.
"I was really pleased that the Pumas, who played passionately, weren't able to score against us. I was concerned about our defence and in this game we improved (on the England series)."
Fly-half Steyn was superb for the Boks with him keeping the scoreboard ticking over from the tee and also executing the cross-kick for Habana's try superbly. Steyn was under pressure going into the match after struggling against England but Meyer was delighted with his performance. Meyer said: "He responded the way I expected of him. He worked hard to get back to his best and was rewarded tonight".
Meyer's praise for Steyn was also echoed by skipper Jean de Villiers. "He did not deserve the flak he was getting, but proved those critics wrong with a very good display," he said. "I am also very happy for Frans Steyn, who played in his 50th test match. And we can cap two more Springboks in JJ Engelbrecht and Pat Cilliers, another great occasion."
