This is the third night of Hanukkah, so get to the North Park Farmers' Market and collect the farm fresh ingredients for your holiday meal. A lot of people find Hanukkah to be a bit of a mystery: Why is it never the same time each year? Do you really get one present a night? If there are 8 nights of Hannukah why are there 9 candles on the menorah? (answers below)
Invited to a Hannukah celebration? Gift packs from California Olive make a beautiful hostess gift. Latkes, or potato pancakes, are fried in oil to honor the olive oil that burned for 8 nights to light the Temple. Use potatoes from Proios Family Farm or try a great beet latke variation with fresh beets from Suzie's Farm or JR Organics. Think about using avocado oil for frying, it will let you get your latkes nice and crispy without smoking up your kitchen. Top with sour cream from Springhill farms and a simple applesauce from Smit Orchards apples. Serve warm whilst spinning dreidels. What's a dreidel?
Oh yes, we promised you answers.Hanukkah is based on the lunisolar Jewish calendar. Traditionally, a few gifts are given on only one night of Hanukkah, but some families gift children every night. The extra candle on a menorah is a shamash, it's lit first then used to light the rest of the candles. A drediel is a 4-sided top used to play a children's game, winning gold foil-covered chocolate money or gelt. Happy Hannukah!
Though they grow pretty much year round in San Diego, oranges light up the night at farm stalls at the North Park Farmers' Market during the winter months. Versatile, sweet, and terribly healthy, organic oranges should be at the top of your shopping (and cooking) list this season.
Paradise Valley Ranch, John Gilruth's Rainbow Ranchito and R&L Farms sell their locally grown Navel and Valencia oranges, as well as juicy, easy- to-peel tangerines, and tart and sweet limes and lemons.
Orange wedges with shaved fennel and boiled or grilled chunks of Chiogga beets from Suzie's Farm make a delightfully refreshing salad. Chill the beets, and toss with tender winter lettuce or vibrant leafy greens from Maciel Family Farms and an easy vinaigrette made with orange juice and California Olive oil and vinegar.
Saute onions, garlic and ginger together and then deglaze the pan with just-pressed orange juice from Paradise Valley Ranch. Reduce the liquid to glaze pork chops and roasts from Da Le Ranch, or start with the same combo and add crushed chilis from Valdivia Farms and stir fry a batch of Kawano Farm green beans with a taste of Thailand.
Cooking with oranges makes everyone feel like a fuzzy navel, doesn't it?
When you live in a climate where winter clothes = long sleeved t-shirts, sometimes the winter wonderland feeling doesn't kick in easily, but get into the holiday spirit now by shopping at the North Park Farmers market!
Pick up bunches of holly from Maldonado Growers to hang on your door or put in a big vase and decorate like a little Christmas tree. Buy their evergreen garlands to hang above your fireplace or wrap around the banister on your stairs. Not much of a decorator? Just place a potted poinsettia by the door and let those red flowers exorcise the Grinch in anyone.
Get a wreath made from red chilies and organic flowers from JR Organics to show the world that you are in the holiday spirit and proudly support local farmers and farmers' markets. Pile chilis or red apples from Smit Orchards in a pretty basket from Paradise Valley Ranch and use as a centerpiece for your next dinner party.
Keeping it subtle? Pick a nice little succulent from John Gilruth and tie a ribbon around the pot, set it on your desk and ease on into the holiday spirit! Stack persimmons in a tall vase on the mantel, or use a pretty bouquet of red gladioli to make a statement and make yourself at home for the holidays.
North Park area schools, like those all over San Diego (and beyond), are struggling with severe district budget cuts that threaten to cut staff and even close schools. Parents are rallying to contribute in any way they can, and community members without school-age children can help too. The North Park farmers' Market is pitching in with Cash Crops.
Starting December 8th, San Diego Weekly Markets will rebate 5% of the dollars you spend at the North Park Farmers' Market to the local school of your choice. Just ask the farmers and vendors for receipt tickets when you shop, then deposit them in your school's bin at the Information Booth. Keep your grocery money in your neighborhood and help local kids. Amazing farm-fresh food is the icing on the cake.
We're guessing you spent Thanksgiving taking time to acknowledge gratitude for family and friends, the relative comfort and safety we live in, and our many other blessings. Just looking around the North Park Farmers' Market makes us thankful for harvest abundance.
So often though, the holiday seems tied to gluttony. If you overate last week, you're not alone. But it's simple to tip the scales back by lightening up this week. Take a quick trip to the farmers' market on Thursday to get some fresh air, enjoy the live music and shop for the ingredients to get your eating back on track.
Pick up a jug of Green Fix and sip a fresh green smoothie for breakfast. Use any last turkey leftovers to make a Cobb Salad for lunch, with hard-boiled farm fresh eggs and avocado from Paradise Valley Ranch on a bed of leafy greens and tomatoes from JR Organics with a light creamy dressing made with Springhill Farms' Quark. Grill a lean piece of chicken from Da Le Ranch for dinner, with some steamed baby squash from Valdivia Family Farm and new cauliflower from Suzie's Farm. Enjoy a baked apple from R&L Farms for dessert. See? All back in balance.
Thanksgiving is almost upon us; this Thursday's North Park Farmers Market is exactly a week before the holiday. Before we hit the patch of black ice that is Black Friday, latke parties, and tree trimming, sending us skidding into the December Holidays, focus on this celebratory meal. While your farm-fresh Da-Le Ranch turkey may take the lead, this meal's side dishes take more than a supporting role. Make it yours by serving up some signature sides that are not in your momma's arsenal.
Savory bread pudding is sure to be a show-stopper and once you have the core bread and pudding, the world is your oyster. Whisk together 6 Paradise Valley Ranch eggs, 2 cups milk, salt and pepper. Throw in a pound of soft Belen bread, cubed, and a half pound of grated gruyere from Taste Cheese; that's is your blank canvas. Sauté 1 to 2 pounds of peeled squash from your favorite farmer and a chopped onion, sprinkle with sage from Suzie's Farm, let cool, toss with the bread mixture and bake at 350 for 55 minutes. Or try it with 2 pounds of sautéed mushrooms from Rodney Kawano Farms mixed with garlic, parsley, and thyme. Try oven roasted tomatoes and garlic or sautéed kale and mushrooms; there's no end to savory combinations.
Want to lighten up the mashed potatoes? Add some Valdavia farms turnips peeled and boiled for about 10 minutes more than your potatoes. Drain them, add some Springhill Dairy European butter and mash out any frustrations of your day.
Round out the meal with an antioxidant rich carrot and orange roast. Cut up 2 pounds of JR Organics trimmed carrots and cut an unpeeled orange from John Gilruth or Paradise Valley Ranch into 8 pieces. Toss it all in 2 tablespoons of Bari olive oil and 2 tablespoons of Meljess Wildflower Honey, some salt and pepper, and roast in a 375 degree oven for 35 minutes. Serve with a sprinkle of Suzie's Farm chopped dill.
First time cooking? Don't agonize over taking over the Thanksgiving meal reins from someone who's been doing this meal by rote, just live by this mantra: "The secret is in the sides" and serve to impress!
Pomegranate season is upon us and that lovely pink-skinned fruit is all over the North Park Farmers' Market. See them in abundance at John Gilruth's and R & L Farms' stands. The trick to eating them is to cut them in half then bang on them until all the seeds come out. There is the more delicate way of digging the seeds out with your fingers but that eliminates all the fun; if you are still a touch daunted, Paradise Valley Ranch has packages of pomegranate seeds ready to go. Take them home to cook with or snack on them as you stroll the market. Once you have the seeds out the possibilities are endless: throw them in yogurt, top your green salad for a sweet/sour crunch, or throw them into pancake batter for a new twist and serve with wildflower honey from Meljess Bees.
Want to incorporate more farmers' market ingredients? Mix the seeds with chopped cucumbers from Suzie's Farm, lime juice from R&L, and cilantro and diced chilies from JR Organics for a fresh salsa that is fantastic on fish tacos. Mix fresh citrus with the pomegranate seeds and toss with Grand Marnier or Triple Sec and serve as a sweet salad or over ice cream. Impress your friends with your ingenuity and creativity at your next pomegranate-themed dinner party; serve them champagne or cava with pomegranate seeds floating in it for a fun and festive fall cocktail. Slice and grill eggplant and top with pomegranate seeds, feta from Nicolau Farms, mint and a glug of Bari Olive oil. Serve as a vegetarian entrée with hummus from Baba Foods and couscous with more seeds tossed in for color. Seeding is believing!
This past weekend was divine- with intermittent rain and blustery, grey days. It was time to hunker down, stay inside, and enjoy warm food and good company. Comfort food has a different tone though, when you live and work at the farmers' market. Comfort food means fresh pasta and braised greens, or upscaled, locavore-friendly grilled cheese sandwiches, or fresh spiced apple butter and biscuits...
Here are a few ideas for you for the next time you get caught in the rain, or the sunshine, and want a healthy(er) twist on cozy good cookin'.
Spaghetti with Braised Kale
Braise either curly or lacinato (Tuscan black kale), with chopped onions from Suzie's Farm and fresh garlic from Valdivia. Add the greens to a bowl of steamy, hot angel hair pasta from Likso Imports and squeeze a bit of fresh lemon juice with a bit of grated Parmesan Romano cheese from Mary at Taste Cheese.
Escarole and Caramelized Onion Grilled Cheese
You know this. You know how you like it. Be creative with what you can find at the market and make a sandwich that you'll be remembered by. Start with a decent portion of sourdough or your favorite loaf from Belen Bakery. Take home a hefty slab of Spring Hill Goat Cheddar or maybe their dry Pepper Jack cheese, and shred it carefully. Pick out a beautiful specimen of frisee or escarole from Suzie's Farm or JR Organics. Sautee slices of white onion with a bit salt until the onion begins to carmelize. Meanwhile, brush the bread with some olive oil and layer on the onions, escarole, and cheese. Then grill it until its crispy and melty in the pan, add pepper or salt if needed, and serve immediately...
Spiced Apple Butter
Spiced apple butter on warm toast is a treat from heaven. Luckily, Smit Orchards and R& L Farms have you covered for tart Fuji's and sweet Pink Ladies. Or try combining apples and asian pears for more complexity. Cook the apples down with spices like ginger, star anise, cinammon and cardamon. Add lemon and a bit of sugar, mash it all together once its cooked, and you have yourself an excellent addition to any brunch.
Are you wanting to make fresh, healthy dinners but feel overwhelmed by picking out ingredients and putting it all together?? Really, its not that hard if you visit the farmers' market to take advantage of Chard! JR Organics has beautiful, leavy bunches of red, yellow, and white chard now that is bursting with vitamins, carotenes, chlorophyll, and iron. Not to mention it yields delicous brackish flavors and when cooked the leaves release a sweet aftertaste.
A simple recipe for dinner is to toss some freshmade pasta (Lisko Imports has some delectable handmade fettucines of all flavors) with olive oil, lemon juice, a bit of minced garlic and steamed or sauteed swiss chard. Or try adding a little zest to your breakfast omelets by adding a few stalks of boiled chard. With Autumn really setting in, it's always a welcome idea to cook ahead and make a creamy "beans & greens" soup for take away lunches or easy dinners. Make sure to pick up some cremini mushrooms from Kawano Farms, a bundle of chard, some pecorino cheese from Taste for grating on the top, and some sprouted black eyed peas from Suzie's. Season with olive oil, garlic, and maybe add some thick cut bacon from Da Le Ranch to infuse more flavor into the broth while your soup cooks down.
Enjoy! It's easy!
Broccoli is beginning to blossom again in San Diego and you'll find beautiful florets, stalks, and leaves at our Thursday evening farmers' market in North Park. One of the most nourishing and delicous of cruciferous vegetables, broccoli can make everyone happy and you can use it in many types of dishes.
Toss pasta with olive oil from Bari's (did you know they grow and process all their own olives?), roasted pine nuts or almonds and steamed "hapy rich" broccoli florets from Suzie's Farm. This is one of the most sweet and tender varieites you'll find at the market. Add a bit of salt and pepper to taste and enjoy it as is. Simple. Or, purée cooked broccoli with a few zucchinis, then combine with some fingerling potatoes from Produce Stand and perhaps a few herbs of your choice from JR Organics to make a simple, yet delicious, soup.
Broccoli is super fun. Steam the stems and rub with butter from Spring Hill Chese, fresh lemon juice and garlic from R&L Farm. Add a few black olives from Lisko for an awesome appetizer. Broccoli fills you with vitamins, fiber, and anti-inflammatory flavanoids, so you're covered, for better or for worse, when it comes to staying healthy...

Each of our San Diego farmers' markets is geared to the needs and interests of the communities it serves, and each is managed professionally to provide the highest quality farm-fresh produce, meats, fish, eggs, and artisan foods to San Diego farmers' market shoppers.
You know spring's in full swing when you spot colorful squash blossoms, or flor de calabaza at Valdivia Farms' stand at the North Park Thursday Farmers' Market!
Stuff them with Spring Hill Cheese Company Quark and coat them with Belen Bakery bread crumbs for Mexican City style fried squash blossoms, fold them into quesadillas on fresh, handmade tortillas from Don Tommy's Mexican Food, or try a lighter version of stuffed blossoms filled with Paradise Valley Ranch avocados.
Raw blossoms add a beautiful splash of color and a subtly sweet flavor to a salad of spinach from Suzie's Farm or baby spring lettuces from JR Organics. Pick some up this Thursday, they're bloomin' delicious!
We're really happy to see a couple of small local businesses that sell their creations at the San Diego Public Farmers' Market are getting some well deserved press for their success.
Supernatural Sandwiches have been building a cult following for their sea to sandwich creations and they've earned praise in San Diego Magazine for the Nessie Sandwich, a glowing review of the Siren on Serious Eats, and a place on Thrillist's compilation of the coolest places to eat and drink in San Diego.
Meanwhile, Pacific Beach based Papa Luna's Empanadas was named Best New Business in their store front's neighborhood, one of the top new local restaurants by the Union-Tribune, and also got a great review on Thrillist.
One of our very newest vendors, Cane Patch Pies, just received a deliciously glowing review from Caron Golden at San Diego Magazine. Stop by the San Diego Public Market for lunch on Wednesday to taste what all the buzz is about!
How many ways do we love ripe, red strawberries from Suzie's Farm and Kawano Farms at the San Diego Public Wednesday Farmers' Market? We like to sip them in a smoothie with fresh squeezed citrus juice from Doucette Farms, or in this fancy fizzy strawberry lemonade.
We're thrilled to toss them in this salad with Paradise Valley Ranch avocados and Maciel Farm's kale, and we adore them mixed with fresh chevre from Nicolau Goat Farms and aged balsamic vinegar from Bistro Blends in this strawberry goat cheese bruschetta.
We're crazy for halibut with strawberry salsa using wild Alaskan filets from the Salmon Slinger and fresh basil from Gilbert Quintos Farm. And we can't resist asking L'Ardiquel to fill a hot crepe with strawberries for a sweet breakfast.
We're so berry glad that strawberries are in season!
Find crunchy carrots at the Pacific Beach Tuesday Farmers' Market from Maciel Farm, Kawano Farms, Suzie's Farm and J.R. Organics. Follow French fashion by tossing grated carrots with a little fresh flat leaf parsley and a squeeze of Meyer lemon from Gilbert Quintos Farm in salade de carrotes rapees, or do something decadent and dunk chunks of carrot in goat cheese fondue featuring fresh rosemary and Nicolau Farm's chevre.
Aged vinegar from Bistro Blends adds tang to balsamic glazed grilled carrots and a trip to Suzie's Farm for fresh herbs livens up these roasted carrots. Toss carrots in the oven with beets, parsnips and turnips from your favorite farmers or make a hearty bowl of carrot-fennel soup.
Grab a bundle of carrots to make farm-fresh carrot cake bites for dessert. What's your favorite way to eat carrots?
Celebrate Passover with fresh, local food from the Little Italy Mercato. Make pomegranate braised brisket of grass fed beef from Da-Le Ranch and juice from Lone Oak Ranch, or visit Descanso Valley Ranch for a label rouge chicken with 40 cloves of garlic from Sage Mountain Farm.
Try orange glazed salmon with wild Alaskan coho from the Salmon Slinger and don't forget carrots from Maciel Farm and Mikolich Honey for tzimmes. Check out these fresh Passover dessert recipes that are homemade with local ingredients like lemons from Rancho Mexico Lindo, raspberries from Pudwill Berry Farms and pistachios from Hopkins AG.
Chag Sameach!
Hop on over to Herman Street to shop the North Park Thursday Farmers' Market for Easter weekend treats. Grab carrots from your favorite farmer to leave out for the Easter bunny (he only eats local veggies, right?), and boil eggs from Paradise Valley Ranch for your basket and dye them naturally using beets, carrots, kale or other intensely colored vegetables.
Start off an Easter brunch with a frittata filled with Swiss chard from JR Organics and mushrooms from Kawano Farms, add a salad of spinach and strawberries from Suzie's Farm tossed with aged balsamic from The California Olive, and and make a tart citrus punch by squeezing Smit Orchards' tangerines with navel oranges and ruby red grapefruit from R&L Farms.
Put out a plate of smoked fish from the Salmon Slinger or roast a leg of lamb from Da-Le Ranch for the main course and don't forget to grab something sweet like bunny cookies from Belen Bakery or local brew infused cupcakes from Pubcakes (yes, they're back!) for dessert.
Enjoy your Easter feast!
Ripe red strawberries from Suzie's Farm, J.R. Organics and Kawano Farms brighten the Pacific Beach Tuesday Farmers' Market this week. Make them part of a special breakfast with Belen Bakery's multi-grain bread, chevre from Nicolau Goat Farm and pastured Paradise Valley Ranch eggs in strawberry danish French toast topped with a drizzle of Mikolich Honey.
Enjoy them at lunch with fresh greens from Gilbert Quintos Farm and apples and nuts from Smit Orchards in a spinach, strawberry and pistachio salad. Try them at dinner with wild Alaskan fish from the Salmon Slinger and Berry Balsamic from Bistro Blends in halibut with strawberry salsa. Or simply slice strawberries and toss them with citrus segments from Lone Oak Ranch for a refreshing, low calorie snack anytime of day.
Stock up on strawberries this Tuesday!
Stock up for St. Patrick's Day at the Little Italy Mercato this week; buy a beef brisket at DaLe Ranch and cure your own corned beef, pick up potatoes at Polito Farm's stand, and grab bright green savoy cabbage from Suzie's Farm; find more cabbages at Maciel's Farm and Vang's Farm.
Pick up kale from Second Chance Farm or J.R. Organics for traditional Irish colcannon and garnish it with green garlic from Sage Mountain Farm or Schaner Farm. Don't miss Irish soda bread from Belen Bakery, and try the Shamrock Cabbage soup from Fresh Start Foods.
Seafood lovers will want to visit Poppa's Fresh Fish for an authentic Irish breakfast of a dozen fresh, briny oysters.
Grab a bag of dried fruit and locally grown walnuts and almonds from Terra Bella Ranch, all tied up in green ribbon! The hens at Spur Valley Ranch are getting in the spirit by laying eggs with green shells - pick some up for the cluck 'o the Irish!
Get fresh with sprouts from Suzie's Farm at the North Park Thursday Farmers' Market. We like to mix onion sprouts with kale from J.R. Organics Farm plus avocado and a squeeze of lemon from Paradise Valley Ranch in this outrageously healthy salad.
Use spicy China rose radish sprouts to add crunch to a sandwich of Colby Jack from Spring Hill Cheese Company and cucumber from Valdivia Farms on sliced French bread from Belen Bakery. Wrap sprouts with smoked fish from Salmon Slinger and whipped garlic spread from Hani's Olives in a fresh tortilla from Don Tommy's, or add pumpkin sprouts to a slaw of cabbage and carrot from Kawano Farms.
There's no doubt we love sprouts!
Look for leafy green Swiss chard at Maciel Farm, JR Organics and Suzie' s Farm at the Pacific Beach Tuesday Farmers' Market. Sautee it simply with a little extra virgin oil from The California Olive, with sliced spring onion or crimini mushrooms from Kawano Farms.
Make a chard pesto with pistachios from Hopkins AG, spread it over crostini from Belen Bakery and top them with Nicolau Goat Farm's fresh chevre. Cook chard with raisins from Smit Orchards and rosemary in this recipe, or wrap chard leaves around an Alaskan filet from Salmon Slinger for lemon-thyme halibut - see Gilbert Quintos Farm for the citrus and herbs and Springhill Cheese Company for butter.
Besides being delicious, chard is super low in calories and loaded with vitamins K and A, calcium, potassium and other important nutrients, so make a healthy, tasty dinner tonight - it's easy with chard!

Report: North Carolina Connectivity – The Good, The Bad, and The UglyThe content that follows was originally published on the Institute for Local Self-Reliance website at https://ilsr.org/report-north-carolina-connectivity-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly/
North Carolina's digital divide between urban and rural communities is increasing dangerously in a time when high quality Internet access is more important than ever. Rural and urban areas of North Carolina are essentially living in different realities, based on the tides of private network investment where rural communities are severely disadvantaged. The state has relied too much on the telecom giants like AT&T and CenturyLink that have little interest in rural regions.
Download the Report
The state perversely discourages investment from local governments and cooperatives. For instance, electric co-ops face barriers in seeking federal financing for fiber optic projects. State law is literally requiring the city of Wilson to disconnect its customers in the town of Pinetops, leaving them without basic broadband access. This decision in particular literally took the high-speed, affordable Internet access out of the hands of North Carolina's rural citizens.
The lengths to which North Carolina has gone to limit Internet access to their citizens is truly staggering. Both a 1999 law limiting electric cooperatives' access to capital for telecommunications and a 2011 law limiting local governments' ability to build Internet networks greatly undermine the ability of North Carolinians to increase competition to the powerful cable and DSL incumbent providers.
In the face of this reality, the Governor McCrory's Broadband Infrastructure Office recommended a "solution" that boils down to relying on cable and telephone monopolies' benevolence. What this entire situation comes down to is a fundamental disadvantage for North Carolina's rural residents because their state will not allow them to solve their own problems locally even when the private sector abandons them.
"It's not as if these communities have a choice as to what they're able to do to improve their Internet service," says report co-author Christopher Mitchell, director of the Community Broadband Networks initiative at the Institute for Local Self-Reliance. "There's a demonstrated need for high-quality Internet service in rural North Carolina, but the state literally refuses to let people help themselves."

Gor fans urged against pitch invasion
Ahead of their coronation on Sunday 1 November, Gor Mahia will be looking to cap their season with a win to keep their unbeaten run intact and with the day set for the final awarding, fans have been asked to celebrate responsibly.
Gor Mahia will be bagging their third straight trophy and the club management is seeking to steer fans from invading the pitch in celebration as has been the case in the last two years.
The club's Organising Secretary David Kiilo has urged fans to stay away from the pitch after the game so as to allow the players go celebrate with the trophy and savor their win after a tough season.
"I would like to ask the fans to conduct themselves in decorum and give the players an opportunity to savor the moment they have worked hard for all season.
"It is always good for them to conduct themselves in a good way even as we seek to attract sponsorship. This season, they have behaved themselves quite well and we expect the same on Sunday," he said.
Gor Mahia will be crowned after the game against Muhoroni Youth.

Workers excavating at the site of the future Museum of the American Revolution over the past few years found quite a few historical artifacts in a place you might not expect to look for them: In the toilet. Read more »
Opening Date for Museum of the American Revolution Set
The Museum of the American Revolution has an opening date.
Yesterday the museum, located at 3rd and Chestnut streets, announced it will open on April 19th, 2017. That will be the 242nd anniversary of "the shot heard 'round the world," the date of the first battles in the American Revolution at Lexington and Concord.
The museum additionally announced that H.F. "Gerry" Lenfest — media entrepreneur, philanthropist and owner of Philadelphia Media Network — had donated $10 million to the museum. He had previously made gifts of a $40 million matching grant and $9 million in earlier commitments. Read more »
Drink Like an 18th Century Philadelphian at the Philadelphia History Museum
Have you ever caught yourself sitting in an old tavern thinking about how the wonderful concept of taverns came to be?
Well, tomorrow night from 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. is "Tavern Talks" at the Philadelphia History Museum where Dr. Philip Mead, curator and historian of the Museum of the American Revolution, will talk all about late 18th century tavern culture as well as a present related artifacts. The night will also include a tour of the museum's American Revolution collection led by Kristen Froehlich, director of the collection.
Sign a 40-Foot Beam at the Museum of the American Revolution "Topping Off" Ceremony
Leave your mark on history at the Museum of American Revolution's "topping off" ceremony, which marks reaching the literal highest point in the structure's construction process. This Thursday, July 16th, at 11:45 a.m. the public is invited to sign their "John Hancocks" on a 40-foot beam that will subsequently be hoisted to the top of structure. The Museum will further pay tribute to this time-honored "topping-off" tradition by providing a lunch, courtesy of Wawa. An announcement of project updates will be included in the ceremony.
Morning Headlines: Museum of the American Revolution Breaks Ground
It's expected to open sometime in late 2016, but construction of the Museum of the American Revolution will soon be underway. In fact, the Inquirer's Stephan Salisbury reports that a symbolic groundbreaking took place yesterday for the $119 million building designed Robert A.M. Stern.
You may recall the museum was previously under a lot of scrutiny when renderings first came out, leaving a number of people unimpressed. "Could [it] be constructed in a way to make its Georgian details feel plausibly like real architecture?" asked Inga Saffron in 2012. Even after its redesign, the building's appearance was still deemed uninspired.
Architype: A Stern Rejection
I' m starting to think that Robert A.M. Stern is the Robert De Niro of architecture, and not just because the two New Yorkers have names that trouble copy editors. It's the professional inconsistency — a disconcerting whiplash between knockout performances and efforts one could charitably term "phoned in."
Of course, the stakes aren't the same: De Niro's embarrassing (but ephemeral) turn in The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle matters far less than, say, Stern's design for the (theoretically permanent) Museum of the American Revolution. Panned by critics, the design also spurred an angry online petition. The Philadelphia Art Commission sent Stern back to the drawing board for a redesign of what they called his "mishmash" — with help from a Commission committee created especially to guide him.
That's quite a comeuppance for the dean of Yale's architecture school — the head of an eponymous 300-
person firm who's had a dozen books written about him. He's won all the prizes, been on all the juries — there's nothing left but the crying. Only it's Philadelphians who are doing the crying.
Popkin on New MAR Design: Still Mired in Conservatism
We asked architecture critic Nathaniel Popkin to comment on the redesign of the American Museum of the Revolution that was approved yesterday by the Philadelphia Art Commission. Popkin has been the most outspoken critic of Robert A.M. Stern's design for the museum, though he has certainly not been alone ("it's controversial for its shittiness," he notes).
After a look at the new renderings, which you can see in a slideshow below, Popkin had to wonder just how much time Stern & co. spent "back at the drawing board" after the Commission requested a redesign. Here's his assessment:
Inquirer Marvels Over the MAR's New Design
Robert A.M. Stern turned in what many considered a subpar design for the Museum of the American Revolution. The building's cupola, especially, was a subject of consternation; called "ham-fisted" and "Disneyesque" by critics, it was just one of several mawkish, neo-historical design notes that the Philadelphia Art Commission nixed when they told Stern to try again.
And so he did, and today the Inquirer has a piece that trumpets! the! success! of the new Commission-approved design (despite the fact that, in my opinion, it's pretty much as crappy as the old one). The article, rather than reading like journalism, reads like a press release penned by the museum itself. I don't know why that is, but I'm aware of the fact, shall we say, that the primary backer of the museum, Gerry Lenfest, is part-owner of the Inquirer; and Lew Katz, another part-owner of the Inquirer, is also a museum board member. (Both facts are disclosed in the Inquirer's article). These facts could be coincidental, of course. Could be.
Morning Headlines: Art Commission Approves Stern Redesign of Museum of American Revolution
It's not set in stone, but the redesign of the Museum of the American Revolution has received approval from Philadelphia's Art Commission, which sent Robert A.M. Stern architects back to the drawing board last February. Can you spot the differences between the old design (above) and the new one below?:
A Declaration of Independence From Robert Stern Architecture
Hidden City co-editor Nathaniel Popkin, who recently published an Inquirer piece about Robert A.M. Stern's unappealing design for the Museum of the American Revolution (rendering above), has gone a step further in his opposition: He's written a Declaration of Architectural Independence that serves as the basis for a petition on Change.org.
Those who sign the petition, which is directed to the City of Philadelphia Art Commission, "demand that the Commission use its full Power and Prestige to rectify this abominable design and replace it with one that will, in body and in spirit, embrace the City and the Revolution it purports to celebrate."
The Declaration in full, below.

Friday was the day here for cats, but now I have widened it to all kinds of creatures, cats included.
This week, a snake! On a vintage car!
I took these pictures in the square next to Quimper Cathedral, in the summer of 2008:
The snake is most clearly to be seen in pictures 1.2, 2.1, 2.2 and 3.3. I think it must be some sort of air intake, for the engine, or for something. But what do I know?
Berliet seems to be an enterprise that makes lorries these days. But if you scroll down through the images you get when you type "berliet" into google images, you start to see vintage cars, in among the more recent lorries.
If you scroll down at this site, you get to something that looks like the above vehicle. And if it is the same vehicle, or something very similar, then it is a 1907 Berliet C2 Double-Phaeton, or something very similar.
There's a number plate on the front of my Berliet, which says: 1909 VS 29. I thought that might be a clue, rather than, you know, a number plate, so I tried "Berliet 1909 VS 29" with google images, and guess what I found. A Berliet "Double Phaeton" at a car museum in Malaga.
I even found a photo of the car in question, with a ludicrously long internet address attached to it, which I now offer you, in the hope that it works
Well, the link does seem to work, but if it doesn't, take my word for it. Although this is not the same car as my one above, it is very similar. So similar that the car in the Andalusian museum also has, just like my car has, attached to its side, with its mouth wide open, sucking in air, … a snake. Weird.
I like this photo, of Daniel Hannan, at the top of a Guardian piece about him, and about how he was and is "The man who brought you Brexit":
I like this photo because it is exactly the sort of photo that I try to take of photoers myself. A smartphone with interesting graphics, held over the eyes of the photoer (which of course often happens) to preserve anonymity. Or it would if there were no other photos of Hannan in the world and no article underneath the photo, telling the world all about him.
While browsing through my archives recently, I came across those pictures I took of Brexiteer Kenny, doing his rehash of a Hannan piece in Trafalgar Square, with white chalk. And what I discovered was that, to revise that Abba song, I never thought that we could win. The pictures brought back the feeling I had when I took them, which was: gallant failure. Brave effort. Well done mate, going down fighting. But, we won't win.
I told myself that we might win, but mostly what I thought was that although the majority for Remain had slimmed down a bit over the years, it was still there.
As for the Brexit arguments now (quick versus careful), I am reading this guy. He is for careful. Every post he does says (a) that he is the cleverest person in the world and that everyone else is at best not so clever, and at worst stupid stupid stupid; and (b) something worthwhile, carefully and persuasively explicated.
I never thought that we could win, but just to be clear: there's no regret.
Here are some pictures I took in the main part of Tate Modern, while on my way to and from the New Extension.
Once again, what I saw in this grand building, now even grander, is this amazing paucity of Art. I presume there is plenty of Art in this place, if you go looking for it. But I have never before visited any Art gallery where you have to go looking, half as determinedly as you have to in this one:
Art being somewhat lacking, the people came into their own. I photoed people. And I photoed people photoing people.
The lady with the blue hair and the blue fingers is herself a work of Art.
Yesterday evening, London burned, and people lined the river to watch:
That being a horizontal slice of one of the pictures here. A big wooden sculpture based on the London that was destroyed first time around was put on a barge, floated into central London, and burned.
The work of Artichoke.
On September 7th 2015, I took a ton of photos of Surrey beating Notts, including half a ton of photos of Kumar Sangakkara, who scored a wonderful century that day.
Sangakkara, having had time off to go and win the Caribbean Premier League with his team out there, has been back playing for Surrey in recent days, with his usual huge distinction. He made the highest score of the match in Surrey's win against Warwickshire in the County Championship, and he made that match winning 130 not out against Northants, to get Surrey to the semi-finals of this year's 50 overs tournament.
The best time for this photo-tribute to the great man would have been just after I took all the photos. But now feels like the second best time for it. Very late is not good, but it is a lot better than never.
The first lot of pictures are of Sanga scoring his 166, of him becoming increasingly tired while doing this, and of him walking off after getting out to first ball of the final over of the Surrey innings.
Several of these shots are of – ho ho – shots. One shot should be particularly noted. This is the so-called "ramp" shot, which is when the batsman scoops the ball right over where his head would have been, straight behind the wicketkeeper or thereabouts, hopefully for a boundary. Sanga did at least one of these last September, as you can see (2.2). And he did another, even more spectacularly, when he ramped a six in the last over of that one wicket victory over Northants. (Very short YouTube video of that here.)
I also particularly like the shot of Samit Patel of Notts congratulating Sanga (3.2), as he walks back to the pavilion.
And the second lot of photos are of what Sanga did after this great innings. He fielded (4.1). And oh look, who is that doing exercises in the foreground? That would be Jade Dernbach.
After the game had concluded with a narrow Surrey win, Sanga was given a Man of the Match medal (4.2), and a Man of the Match bottle of Champagne (4.4). Surrey commentator Mark Church interviewed Sanga (5.2). And then (5.3 to 6.4) Sanga mingled with us punters, and had his photo taken by lots of us including by a very happy me, who by then was but a few feet away from him:
Note in particular the Bald Bloke, with a very battered old-school looking camera, whom I managed to include in a couple of my shots (5.3 and 6.1). Maybe I am in some of his shots.
Finally, a bone weary Sanga decides that he really has done enough mingling, and he makes his bone weary way up the steps to the Surrey dressing room (6.3). But then, he gets ambushed yet again by an admirer, a kid (6.4), and he obliges with one last shot, before making his final exit.
Yes, I know, I show recognisable faces here. But a public sports ground is a very public place, and you don't go there unless you are willing for your face to be included in photos and TV coverage of the event. Plus, if you place yourself right next to a Celeb, then you become fair photographic game, same as the Celeb himself is. Well, those are my rules.
One day, I will collect together all the photos I have from over the years, of … this kind of thing:
I love it when Asians get married and have a photoshoot to celebrate, in London. Quite when and where they get married, I don't know, but this is definitely a Thing that they love to do. I took the above photo this afternoon. On a bridge. With a Big albeit Ancient Thing in the background. Weird reflections.
And because they are making such a spectacle of themselves, and doing it so very delightfully, I feel it's okay to put my photo of one of these photoshoots here.
By which I mean: here are some more photographers who are anonymous, not that these particular photographers are any more anonymous than photographers shown here usually are.
Wandering through some recent photo-archives, I came upon this particular collection of anonymous photoers, photoed by me May of this year, which had already been gathered together, but not, I believe, ever shown here. I think I recall gathering them up, and then getting diverted into doing some postings about similarly anonymous photoers photoed rather longer ago.
Anyway, here they are:
Lots of mobile phones, with one tablet, one Real Photographer doing his Real Photography thing, and the odd old school specialised digital camera. That's pretty much how things are these days.
I know what you're thinking. You're thinking that there I was, making my first visit to the Tate Modern Extension, and photoing from the top of it: Big Things, cranes, roof clutter, bridges, churches dwarfed by modernity, and so forth and so on, but I made no mention of other photographers. Did I perhaps ignore them?
Oh no.
This was the first picture I took of the new building when we arrived in its vicinity, not of the whole building, but of some people at the top of it, taking photos:
And when I got to the top myself, I was keen to photo more of my fellow photoers, and I did:
The first and last of those nine photos are of people taking photos of the building. All the others are, as you can surely see, of people taking photos from the building, from that excellent top level aperture.
Almost entirely smartphones. I didn't pick them out that way. That's just how it turned out. The only non-smartphone camera is in the top picture, the one taken from the ground, and even he has a smartphone snapper next to him.
Taken by me, middle of last month, outside Westminster Abbey:
Normally, I would bore you to death with why I like this, but: busy day gotta rush.
6k writes about the long journey from journeyman amateur snapper to Artist:
I don't pretend to be a photo ninja. I can point, and I can shoot, and sometimes the results can be pretty good. Very occasionally, they can be startlingly good, but only very occasionally. I need to work more at not just pointing and shooting to increase the percentage of those startlingly good shots. We'll get there.
There follows a picture of a bird spreading its wings. In other words, the capture of a fleeting moment.
6k photos his family quite a bit, as they do things like explore the spectacularly beautiful coastline near where he lives, in South Africa. Photoing your loved ones is also a matter of capturing the exact right moment.
With me, I think I get nearest to Art when I'm lining things up with each other. I have a mental list of things I like, and a picture counts double in my head, if I can line a couple, or maybe even more, of these things. The most characteristic of such alignments over the years have typically involved a digital photographer, with a London Big Thing in the background.
Here are a couple of efforts I might pick out to enter a competition, if someone told me I had to do that:
In these two cases, there is also an element of me waiting for the right moment, or more accurately me snapping lots of promising looking moments and picking out the best one.
Those two are from this huge collection of unrecognisable photographers, which I doubt many of you scrutinised in its entirety. So there are two of them again. I particularly like the one with the blue balloon.
And here is another exercise in lining things up, captured just a few days ago. This time, the object at the front is a plastic water bottle, resting on the anti-pigeon netting in the courtyard outside and above my kitchen window. Behind the bottle is a thing that regulars here will know that I like a lot, namely: scaffolding! This being the scaffolding at the top of the big conversion job that's being done across the courtyard from me:
That picture involves something I don't usually like to do, which is cropping. The original snap was rather bigger.
I don't know what exactly I've got against cropping, but it feels to me like only one or two notches up from cheating. Maybe I take rather excessive pride in (the Art of) getting the snap I want to emerge straight from the camera, no muss, no fuss, no photoshop. The truth, of course, is that cropping is itself very much an Art. But because I don't do cropping that much, I probably could have cropped this photo a whole lot better than I actually did.
And I'm back to trivia-mongering. Any day now, I'll be back to opinion-mongering too:
It's the first picture of these.
Engineer Thomas Selig, 28, set up his camera on a tripod 100 metres away from a cluster of female lions and cubs in the Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya. He then retreated to a safari vehicle to take pictures with a remote control. A lioness decided to make off with his camera, and proceeded to chew it!
Lucky someone had a second camera, to show what happened to the first camera.
Actually, according to what I am now reading, a lot of people never stopped opinion-mongering.
So I photo this guy outside Westminster Abbey who is wearing a Chicago Lions shirt:
Later I ask him what sport the Chicago Lions play. He doesn't know, but the magic WWW in the sky knows, because it knows everything that there is to be known. Turns out the Chicago Lions play rugby. I couldn't find any Chicago Lions shirts looking like that one, that colour. But I could find no other Chicago sports team called that, so that must be it.
In the course of googling I also came across some Lion statues in Chicago, and further news of how these Lion statues were made to wear Chicago Bears helmets (American football), and Chicago Blackhawks helmets (ice hockey):
Such is the world. Such is Chicago. Such is the internet.
To you, yes, I hope that you had one, but actually what I'm saying is: I did.
England came belting back against Sri Lanka at Lords. After sampling the London weather last night, I had a feeling that might happen. It was not bright and sunny, more overcast and sweaty. It felt like swing bowler weather, which made SL's reply yesterday afternoon (to England's 416) of 162-1 rather strange. Dropped catches apparently. Well, this morning, order was restored and SL are now 218-6. Woakes, luckless yesterday, got a wicket with his first ball. England now look likely winners of that series 3-0. The longer the series goes on, and the more the Lankans get acclimatised (following seriously inadequate practising games), the more it counts beating them. The first game, where SL collapsed twice, meant nothing, I reckon. I've been following the score here.
Deep thanks to Michael Vaughan, who mentioned on one of the bits of cricket commentary I listened to that England were also playing Australia. At rugby. Aus 28 Eng 39. Must have been some game, and according to the BBC live updates, it was.
And before all that, I even managed a quick (they're often the best) Samizdata posting, about something odd I heard on the radio, about the EU.
Here is one of the funner pictures I took while out and about last night, this one taken at the Parliament end of Whitehall:
Great reflections in her sunglasses, right? On the left, as we look, the two devices she is holding, and on the right, you can just see a tiny Big Ben. Is that red thing she is holding a charger?
Plus an elephant.
The onward march of mobile phones into photography continues apace.
I haven't always been blogging here as early as I'd like to in recent days, but today, I did it.
If you had as good a morning as I did, lucky you.
As I understand it, the big reason why miniature helicopters work is because modern computer magic can control all the propellers and stop them crashing. Proper big helicopter piloting is notoriously skilful. Now, a tiny little robot can fly a tiny little helicopter, all by itself. But, first generation consumer drones are going to look very foolish to later drone-flaunters, because so big, and because they are just so clunky and dangerous.
This looks much more of a serious prospect, especially for indoors:
If that does an Enrique Iglesias to you, it will do you far less damage and do itself far less damage, not least because humans are less liable to beat it to death after it attacks them.
Regular commenter here Michael Jennings is fond of enthusing about the miraculous advances in materials technology we've been having lately. I bet this gizmo is a fine example, especially those propeller covers. If they're too heavy, they sink (literally) the entire idea.
I wonder how noisy it is.
Not very, if this quicky engadget youtube review is anything to go by:
You wait a decade for videos at BMdotcom, and now two come along at once.
LATER: 6k drone blues. Maybe cancel "Lily", and get the above?
I love to write about digital photography, and have been tracking the selfie phenomenon since long before the mere word was invented, way back in the days when I referred to digital photographers as Billion Monkeys (which I don't anymore (because some people thought I meant Muslims)). (But also way back in the days when I didn't worry about showing the faces of strangers, the way I worry now.) And I also enjoy often public sculpture, especially of the more recent and less abstract sort.
So, I love this:
There have been complaints, of course, such as from all the commenters there at the Daily Mail. God forbid that vulgar people should find this vulgar statue so much fun. Sculpture is Art, and Art isn't supposed to be amusing.
One of the Daily Mail's other photos is of bloke photoing himself with his own mobile, in front of the selfie statue. But I prefer the more subtle response that consists of simply being photoed joining in, thus:
For once, the statueness, so to speak, of the statue, the fact that it is made of monochrome metal rather than realistically painted to look like real people, works really well, because it contrasts so nicely with the real people. It helps that it seems to be exactly life size.
One of the idiot grumpy commenters at the Daily Mail said that Sugar Land is a stupid name and they were obviously desperate for some attention, which they have never had until now. But wasn't there a Goldie Hawn movie called The Sugarland Express, or some such thing? Yes there was. Early Spielberg. But, is Sugar Land the same as Sugarland?
According to a later Daily Mail report, it isn't only their grumpy commentariat that objects to this statue. Could this be because a lot of people heard about this story partly through the Daily Mail, and those people being the sort that hears about things via the Daily Mail, immediately started objecting, because they object to everything. Whereas, the ones who liked it hadn't heard about it so much.
I first found about the statue via Amusing Planet, so of course I was already self-identified as the sort who would be amused. It was just that the Daily Mail had better pictures.
