<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Was wäre der schönste Tag im Leben ohne ein bisschen Pomp und Glamour? Was früher das 2-PS-Gespann war, übernimmt heute oft die Luxuslimousine. Aus der Hochzeitsbranche ist der Limousinenservice heute nicht mehr wegzudenken. Kein guter Wedding-Planer überlässt das Thema der standesgemäßen Beförderung der Brautleute dem Zufall. Chauffeur inklusive! Und der kümmert sich um alles:</p>
<p>Dass das Luxusgefährt – egal ob Bentley, Hummer-Stretchlimo oder Rolls-Royce – tip top gepflegt ist, versteht sich von selbst. Eine ansprechende Blumendeko auf der Edellimousine rundet das perfekte äußere Erscheinungsbild ab. Zur Chauffeurdienstleistung gehört es aber auch, den Brautleuten das Gefühl zu geben, dass sie etwas ganz Besonderes sind. Selbstverständlich wird der Braut mit behandschuhter Hand die Tür aufgehalten und beim komplizierten Einsteigen mit Brautkleid diskret in das Luxusauto geholfen. Und dann wird Champagner gereicht und der Chauffeur legt wunschgemäß die Musik auf, die der Braut oder dem Brautpaar an diesem wunderbar anstrengenden Tag ein wenig Entspannung bringt. Für die Brautleute ist dieser Tagesordnungspunkt nicht einfach nur die Beförderung von der Kirche zur Location, in der gefeiert wird. Die Chauffeurdienstleistung verbindet das Notwendige mit dem Angenehmen und macht – selten genug an diesem Tag unter Ausschluss der Öffentlichkeit &#8211; den Tag zu etwas ganz Besonderem.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Het hoort in Indonesië bij het straatbeeld: mensen, die hun bagage op het hoof vervoeren. Ik heb al ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://balibatin.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/ibu-kopi-10.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-684" title="ibu kopi (10)" src="http://balibatin.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/ibu-kopi-10.jpg?w=296" alt="" width="296" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Het hoort in Indonesië bij het straatbeeld: mensen, die hun bagage op het hoof vervoeren. Ik heb al vele varianten gezien, van een fles water tot een complete marktkraam. Ik blijf het een prachtig gezicht vinden, al ben ik me er terdege van bewust, dat de fier gedragen goederen niet zelden een te zware belasting voor nek en rug betekenen.</p>
<p><a href="http://balibatin.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/ibu-kopi-11.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-685" title="ibu kopi (11)" src="http://balibatin.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/ibu-kopi-11.jpg?w=279" alt="" width="279" height="300" /></a> </p>
<p>In de winkelstraten lopen de dames van de ‘catering’ af en aan. In een soort wasmand dragen ze een keur aan lokale lekkernijen en maaltijden. Op de stoepen van de winkeltjes strijken ze neer om het winkelpersoneel van een lunch of een snack te bedienen. Hoewel de maaltijden veel op elkaar lijken (meestal een soort nasi campur: witte rijst met een plukje groente, een stukje vlees of vis, tempe, wat sambal), verschilt de smaak nog wel eens. Men heeft zo zijn voorkeuren. Bij de één is de pisang goreng voortreffelijk; de ander heeft de lekkerste mie goreng. Nummer drie heeft altijd verse kroepoek. Rond min of meer vaste tijden lopen de dames een min of meer vaste route. Soms kruisen ze elkaars pad; soms zijn ze elkaar nèt voor. Maar zoals in elke dienstverlening in Bali zijn er ook hier een beetje te veel wandelende snackbars, die hun klanten met elkaar moeten delen.</p>
<p> <a href="http://balibatin.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/ibu-kopi-3.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-686" title="ibu kopi (3)" src="http://balibatin.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/ibu-kopi-3.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="237" /></a></p>
<p>Ook op de hoek van het voetbalveld waar de taxi- en ojekrijders (motor vervoer) rondhangen, vindt de inhoud der manden gretig aftrek. Zodra in de vroege avond ‘ibu kopi’ de hoog gevulde mand op het stoepje zet, komen van alle kanten hongerige chauffeurs aanlopen om gretig in haar maaltijden te graaien. ‘Ibu kopi’, zo genoemd omdat zij een der weinigen is, die verse koffie meebrengt, is bij de meesten favoriet. Haar eten en snacks zijn heel smakelijk en altijd vers. Op de motorbike wordt twee keer per dag een verse voorraad aangevoerd en aan het einde van de dag is ze altijd nagenoeg leegverkocht.</p>
<p> <a href="http://balibatin.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/ibu-kopi-4.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-687" title="ibu kopi (4)" src="http://balibatin.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/ibu-kopi-4.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="219" /></a></p>
<p>Vaak drinken we thuis geen koffie na het eten, omdat het leuker is een bekertje koffie van ibu te nemen. En als het eten erbij is ingeschoten, eten we lekker mee met onze Balinese vrienden op de stoep. Het smaakt me eerlijk gezegd net zo goed als de nasi goreng bij de beroemde ‘Dewa Warung’ in de Jalan Gootama, die in de Lonely Planet zo wordt aangeprezen.<br />
Als het druk is, blijft ‘ibu kopi’ soms tot drie uur in de nacht rondlopen om de hongerige magen te vullen. Ze is onder de chauffeurs zeer geliefd, deze jonge weduwe, omdat ze vriendelijk is, hard werkt om voor haar gezin te zorgen en natuurlijk vooral vanwege de goede en goedkope maaltijden. Vaak geeft ze nasi weg aan bedelaarsters met een baby. Bedelende kindjes krijgen nog wel eens een zoetigheidje toegestopt. Als haar mand leeg is, of als er geen klanten meer zijn, wacht ibu op het stoepje tot ze wordt opgehaald door haar zoon of een ander familielid. En het gebeurt zelfs wel eens, dat een late taxichauffeur haar thuisbrengt, bij voorbeeld omdat het regent.</p>
<p><a href="http://balibatin.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/ibu-kopi-51.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-689" title="ibu kopi (5)" src="http://balibatin.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/ibu-kopi-51.jpg?w=298" alt="" width="298" height="300" /></a></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">Have you ever dreamed of visiting historic and romantic places across Europe? If so you are definitively not alone, it is most people&#8217;s dream to be able to travel across the world, even if you are not able to do so right away you still yearn to meet new people and just see what&#8217;s out there. Traveling can be a very positive experience which can reinvigorate your body and mind, big business owners and companies know this and this is precisely the reason why they run contests which reward employees and business partners with trips.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">It is normal for a person to be way more productive at work if they have had a wonderful experience in remote places which inspire them. The fact is that no matter how great your job is, if you keep the same routine day in and out you will sooner or later get bored, if this happens your performance goes down and the entire business suffers, not to mention your budget and mental health.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Planning trips or vacations is the most positive course of action anyone can take after a year or several months worth of work, specially if you are an American who wants to explore countries across Europe.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">European countries have a lot of history behind them and there are so many places worth visiting that you can be sure you won&#8217;t be able to cover even if your trip lasted a whole year. Some people plan these trips by taking a cruise which may have tours around the cities it stops at. The experience of taking a cruise vacation can be quite nice but if you have an adventurous spirit then you may consider another option, you can take a road trip across European counties! Yes, you have seen and heard about the many European road trip movies which turn out to be a complete adventure, after all they do make movies based on that!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Driving across Europe is a unique experience, there are so many countries close to each other which have different traditions, language and culture which adds value to the entire trip. Driving through Andorra and stopping by the ski resorts is something you won&#8217;t forget, neither it is the experience of being in St Peter Square in Vatican City. Driving through UK and Ireland can be a fantastic experience as well, these counties are home of many Castles and peculiar constructions, each telling a unique story. Yes, driving across Europe is something you must experience at least once during your lifetime.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">A great tool you can use are sites which provide multinational <a title="Chauffeur car from Maidenhead" href="http://www.gerrardbeacon.com/transfers.php"><strong>car hire services</strong></a> across the countries you are planning to visit, after all it would be quite a bother to rent a different car in each country you drive by, not to mention the amount of money you&#8217;ll end up spending. Car hire is all about convenience, especially during long trips. Pay close attention to the countries they cover and the selection of vehicles available, after all you want to make this experience as memorable as possible so don&#8217;t take your family or friends to a European road trip on a small and uncomfortable sedan, unless you are only taking your other half!</p>

<description><![CDATA[Wait…want to hire a car? But you are still unaware of many things related to car rental… Car hire ag]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">Wait…want to <a title="Chauffeur car from Slough" href="http://www.gerrardbeacon.com/transfers.php"><strong>hire a car</strong></a>? But you are still unaware of many things related to car rental…</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Car hire agency or car rental agency is an agency that rents out cars or automobiles for a limited period of time with a certain amount of money or fee for hiring an automobile. Car rental agency is a wide form of hiring shop with numerous branches. Majority of these agencies are located near airports, bus stations, railway stations and busy cit areas where a frequent hiring of automobiles are seen. These agencies also have online reservations through computer. Most of the travel agencies also have connection with major car rental agencies. Car hire agencies also serve a wide variety of needs by renting vans and trucks also.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The conditions to get a car for rent may vary according to the brand or size of the car. The rented vehicle should be returned in a good condition and should not exceed the prescribed driving distance or kilometers by the car agency. If the distance exceeds the normal prescribed one, the agency will ask for extra payment for extra kilometers. In addition to this, there is a minimum age for the vehicle driver, mostly 18 or 21 but in some cases it is 25. In today’s technological world the introduction of GPS (Global positioning System) technology which is used to limit the speed of the car and also to locate the vehicle in case of any mishap. A majority of car rental agencies insists the use of credit cards to make it easier to identify the person who steals the car or to charge additional fees, if any defect is later found with the car after the car is returned to the agency.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The information or documentation to collect a car are passport or any other identification similar to that, driver’s license, prepaid car voucher and a valid credit car in the driver’s name. In some countries international driver permit along with national license is needed. If the person wants to make any changes in the booking, he will have to contact the customer service. Different types of insurance coverage will be offered to add money on to the base rental rate. But most of these insurance are covered by the personal auto insurance policy. Exception from this is Collision Damage Waiver or CDW which is an extra daily charge covering both the cost of damage of a car involved in an accident and loss of use charged by the agency. To avoid cheating, consult with an insurance agent before taking a car for rent. Loss of use is the time and money lost for the car company as the vehicle cannot rent during the time of repair, if it met with an accident. Some credit card covers the damage or theft of the rented car. Most credit cards which offer this feature only cover basic models which do not include SUV’s and luxury cars.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">There are certain requirements to meet before taking a car for rent. They are:<br />
(1)Know the age requirement of the driver.<br />
(2)Compare the rent of different agencies.<br />
(3)Determine whether it is a free upgrade or discounted rate.<br />
(4)The classes of the car depend on the different brands at different car rental agencies. Rental cars will be typically the base models.<br />
(5)Book the vehicle as soon as possible to avoid the confusion during travel.<br />
(6)Before providing the credit card number, ask about the cancellation policy.<br />
(7)Give rent only for the needs.<br />
(8)Don’t pay double of the car insurance.<br />
(9)If two people are going to drive, make sure that both of their names should be in the agreement.<br />
(10)Inspect the car before taking it from the car agency.<br />
(11)Fill the fuel before returning the car to avoid charging a premium.<br />
(12)Ask for map and directions to the destination.<br />
(13)Take a membership of a rental agency to avail special offers, if the traveler is frequent renter.<br />
(14)Make sure the mileage policy is favorable so that to avoid extra charge.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">It is better to take the car according to the weekly rate, if a person is keeping a car for more than five days. Mostly the seventh day ends up saving money on weekly rental and might not need the free seventh day but there is always a plan of change.</p>

<p>i started this post as a theophilus london interview post. then i realized i hadn&#8217;t post this song. the fuck is the matter with me? chauffeur = <a href="http://www.myspace.com/markronson">mark ronson</a>, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/theophiluslondon">theophilus london</a>, and <a href="http://www.myspace.com/samsparro">sam sparro</a>.</p>
<p>anyway, according to ronson:</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color:#888888;">I created the music with a Fictional supergroup we put together called Chauffeur. The band is Sam Sparro, Theophilus London, and Tommy and Victor from the Dap Kings. It’s cool—the sound is very ’80s and luxurious. It’s like what you would imagine a Gucci record to sound like.</span></p></blockquote>
<p>word. it really does too. shit is all bang. and hit the cut for the theophilus video i was originally gonna post about.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">When it comes to <a title="Chauffeur car from Reading" href="http://www.gerrardbeacon.com/fleet.php"><strong>renting a car</strong></a>, whether it is the first time or the fifth time, many people feel overwhelmed. They are unsure as there are normally so many hidden costs and variables to consider, and they feel confused as to how they should handle the situation. However, the process doest not necessarily have to be that painful, nor does it have to leave you feeling like you don&#8217;t know what is going on. With car rentals, you should know what is happening from the beginning right until the end. As long as you are informed right throughout the procedure you should feel in charge.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Even though it is the most obvious factor to consider, many people think of it last. The first question you should think of is the price of the rental. The great aspect that you should look into when looking forcar rentals is that most of the car rental agencies that are available today will have offers for weekly rates and daily rates so you can choose the options that best suit you. You can also choose for the mileage to be charged as a fee or it can be charged as a completely separate charge. There are some plans that you get withrenting a car that will offer you a certain number of free miles, where as once those miles are done you will be charged a fee.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The main thing you have to take into consideration, after the cost of the renting of course, is the type of car that you would like to drive. Many of the agencies that are available today will offer medium sized, compact, economy, and luxury cars, and then the rates of these cars will depend on the preferences that you choose. You also have to take into consideration the way in which the car will be used, as in the duration of the hire. You have to determine how long you will need the car for. Maybe it is a short trip you are going on while your car is in for repairs, or you need to rent a second car for a huge family outing. There is something that will suit your style and needs.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">However, if you are taking a long road trip you might want to rent a larger vehicle as you will find it more comfortable, but also more worth while in the end as you will probably not have to hire a trailer too. Once you are sure of the type of car you would like to rent and the best rate at what you can get the car for, you can begin your search online. With the main renting agencies that are available, they should have calculators that will let you enter the city where you live, when you would need the car and other details.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">You have many options when it comes to car renting, so make sure that you look at all the options that are available to you before you make your final decision.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>The main draw for me at Fader Fort at the ACE Hotel in NYC was Florence + The Machine&#8217;s 7:15 set but along the way, open bar and wonderful sets by MNDR, Jenny Wilson, The Temper Trap, Chauffeur were an awesome bonus! Full pictures from each set can be seen <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tlcblog/sets/72157622712241320/" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</p>
<h2><span style="color:#800080;"><img class="alignright" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3488/4066155106_93c2b7f868_o.jpg" alt="" width="220" height="293" /></span></h2>

</span></h2>
<h2><span style="color:#800080;"> </span></h2>
<p>has been building steam over the past couple months through her <a href="http://mndrmndr.com" target="_blank">blog</a>, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/mndrtronica" target="_blank">MySpace</a>, and her frequent party gigs.</p>
<p>Bushwick&#8217;s MNDR was a breath of fresh air in the sweaty basement of the ACE Hotel, jumping from keyboards, knob-turning, and moving the crowd with her incredibly fun and tech-no-logic set.</p>
<p>Keep an eye out for MNDR!</p>

</strong></h2>
<p>were essentially CMJ&#8217;s headliner, playing some of the biggest showcases of the week and gracing the cover of the CMJ industry newsletter.We saw The Temper Trap Wednesday night at The Music Hall of Williamsburg for the Blue Flowers showcase in the headlining slot once populated by Speech Debelle.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m going to be honest in saying that I was not impressed by their set that night, and was quite frankly bored. However, the band I saw onstage at MHOW was not at all the same one smashing the stage at the ACE Hotel.</p>
<p>I think The Temper Trap are more comfortable in a smaller and more intimate setting where they connect with the fans, stepping up their stage presence 150% and feeding off of the energy of the crowd. The crowning moment for me was when lead singer Dougy<em> </em> Mandagi poured bottles of water on the drums to create a geyser effect while Jonathan Aherne swung his bass around like a chainsaw. Now that&#8217;s what I call a show!</p>

</span></strong></h2>
<p>was first on my radar as the guest vocalist on The Knife&#8217;s infectious <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NwP2SOnN4Y" target="_blank"><em>You Take My Breath Away</em></a> from the band&#8217;s 2005 album Deep Cuts.</p>
<p>Fellow Swedes Olof Dreijer and Karin Dreijer Andersson (aka The Knife) signed Jenny Wilson to Rabid Records where she released two records: Love and Youth (2005) and this year&#8217;s Hardships!</p>
<p>Like Chauffeur and Florence + The Machine, Wilson made her debut performance in New York at Fader Fort&#8217;s CMJ party. It was a beautiful debut performance and a great introduction to her electro-orchestra sound complete an ensemble of horns, flutes, keys and percussion.</p>

<p>I first caught Vega live at Studio B last spring, and again at Hype Machine/Babelgum&#8217;s CMJ showcase before Fader&#8217;s party, and the set gets more and more polished each time.</p>

<h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong><span style="color:#800080;">&#60;&#60; Chauffeur &#62;&#62;</span><br />
</strong></h2>
<p>is the super-power collective of New York&#8217;s Thelophilus London, Australia&#8217;s Sam Sparro and the Transatlantic Mark Ronson.</p>
<p>I wasn&#8217;t quite sure what Chauffeur was upon seeing it listed on the bill, but I was pleasantly surprised to see these three artists from different places (musically and geographically) come together to make something fresh.</p>
<p>The trio played an extremely short set of about 3 songs, but wowed everyone with their cover of Sheila E.&#8217;s Glamorous Life. I&#8217;m interested to see what&#8217;s next!</p>

</strong></h2>
<p>also played Hype Machine/Babelgum&#8217;s CMJ showcase with Vega. The Australian trio played a 6-song set that floated between punk and electronic, sucessfully rousing the sweat-soaked and spritied crowd into a hardcore dancefest.</p>
<p>We chatted with the band earlier that week (check back for the on-camera interview with &#8216;Sup Magazine) and they were excited to play CMJ, an energy that was pleasantly projected through their live set.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>In het consumentenradioprogramma Peeters &#38; Pichal op Radio1 werd een klacht uitgezonden en behandeld van Hasselaar Peter Goyens die zijn twee dochters op zaterdagnacht naar huis liet komen met een Hasseltse taxi. Deze taxichauffeur nam het niet zo nauw met het verkeersreglement. Hij reed 120km/u door bebouwde kom en dan nog door het rode licht.</p>
<p><strong>Taxiconvenant</strong></p>
<p>Mobiliteitsschepen Rob Beenders reageerde erg alert op een telefoontje van Annemie Peeters. &#8220;We hebben een taxiconvenant met de Hasseltse taxibedrijven waarin we duidelijk stellen dat deze taxi&#8217;s niet alleen hun standplaats moeten hebben in Hasselt, maar ook moeten voldoen aan de nodige vereisten van onder andere uitrusting en verkeersreglement. De controle van dat verkeersreglement ligt naast de regelmatige politiecontrole ook bij de taxi-uitbaters zelf&#8221;, aldus Beenders. Trouwens hij pleit voor een soort zwarte doos, die alle bewegingen van de taxi registreert.</p>
<p>&#8220;In Hasselt loopt er inmiddels een procedure om de vergunning van zo&#8217;n taxibedrijf in te trekken wegens veelvuldige overtreding van het taxiconvenant&#8221;, stelt hij nog.</p>
<p><strong>Taxichauffeurs</strong></p>
<p>Het betrokken taxibedrijf wou echter anoniem blijven en reageerde echter niet zo verbaasd. De hoofdreden die ze aanbrachten, is dat ze niet voldoende chauffeurs vinden om dit onderbetaald nachtberoep uit te oefenen. Ook omdat vele taxichauffeurs werken op percent, kan een motief zijn voor dit onverantwoorde rijstijl.</p>
<p>Niet alleen in Hasselt bestaat dit probleem, ook elders komen er klachten van binnen. Rob Beenders moet in het volgend taxioverleg, dat eerstdaags zal plaatsvinden, zeker de puntjes op de i zetten, wil hij het imago van Hasselt voor de toerist aantrekkelijk blijven maken.</p>
<p>Momenteel worden afspraken gemaakt tussen het stadsbestuur en de lokale politie om de nultolerantie tegen inbreuken van het verkeersreglement door die taxicowboys af te kondigen. Taxi&#8217;s wezen gewaarschuwd!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>&#8220;My b&#8221; guys&#8230;  CMJ [and midterms :/] turned me out this past week. Got much to catch up on, but this one&#8211;I just couldn&#8217;t wait.</p>
<p><strong>Chauffeur </strong>&#8220;the blazing lovechild of <em></em>Sam Sparro, Theophilus London, Thomas Brenneck, Victor Axelrod &#38; myself&#8221; [(c) Mark Ronson] did a couple of shows this week, the last at the Fader Fort (outside of which I stood in the pouring rain for over an hour, hoping that the Chauffeur set would start late enough for me to get in, only to eventually leave after seeing Theophilus London come out the back..but I&#8217;m not bitter).</p>
<p>The track was made to support the campaign of Mark Ronson&#8217;s Gucci sneaker, and the vinyl of &#8220;Soles Of Fire&#8221; will be given with each purchase. This looks pretty Limited Edition, but I&#8217;m guessing that this won&#8217;t be the last we hear from Chauffeur after this track blows up.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Je zou denken dat dit makkelijk is &#8230; maar, als dat zo was dan hoefde ik er geen lap tekst aan ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Je zou denken dat dit makkelijk is &#8230; maar, als dat zo was dan hoefde ik er geen lap tekst aan de wijden, toch?</p>
<p>OK, hoe parkeer je een heftruck?<br />
Behalve dat je een beetje uitkijkt waar je je machine parkeert: niet voor elektriciteitskasten, brandblusmiddelen, doorgangen en nooduitgangen, in gangpaden of op een helling; kijk je ook of de wielen recht staan, de handrem op, het contact af en de contactsleutel eventueel ook eraf, de dodemansknop ingedrukt en de vorken plat op de grond.</p>
<p>Waarom?<br />
Wel, met <strong>de wielen recht is makkelijk</strong>: je weet nooit wie er na jou op de heftruck springt, en als je wielen niet recht staan dan zal de volgende chauffeur onvermijdelijk een bocht maken.  En dat zou desastreuze gevolgen kunnen hebben.<br />
Ik heb zelf vaak genoeg kunnen gadeslaan hoe een toeschouwer nog net op tijd kon wegspringen voor zo een onverwacht manoeuvre.  Gelukkig maar, want wie niet kan wegspringen is de pechvogel van de dag.<br />
Dus, parkeren doe je met de wielen recht!</p>
<p>Met <strong>de handrem op</strong>, om te vermijden dat de truck door trillingen (voorbijrijdende vrachtwagens, ander verkeer, machines, &#8230; ), of door falende voetremmen in beweging zou komen.  </p>
<p>Het <strong>contact af</strong>, dan draait de motor niet meer, en bij een heftruck op batterijen gaat ook de automatische rem in werking.  Bij een heftruck met verbrandingsmotor voorkom je zo dat de machine door de trillingen van de eigen motor in beweging zou komen.  Of je de contactsleutel eraf haalt en meeneemt hangt af van bedrijf tot bedrijf, in sommige bedrijven blijft de sleutel altijd op de machine (de kans dat onbevoegden er een ritje mee gaan maken is klein of onbestaand) en in andere neem je hem altijd mee (als de machine op een werf of zo wordt achtergelaten is de kans groot dat een enthousiasteling ermee aan de haal gaat).</p>
<p>Als je de <strong>dodemansknop indrukt</strong>, zeker als je de sleutel in het contact laat zitten, voorkom je dat iemand die niet veel kennis van zaken heeft uit &#8220;interesse&#8221; met de machine aan de slag gaat.  Iemand die geen training kreeg in het rijden met de heftruck weet meestal ook niet dat er een dodemansknop is, en dat je die moet deactiveren.  </p>
<p>De <strong>vorken plat op de grond </strong>om te voorkomen dat iemand struikelt over de vorken en met een rotsmak op zijn gezicht valt.  Ik ben (lang, lang geleden!) zelf tijdens mijn training over zo een stel vorken gestruikeld, met twee gigantische blauwe plekken en een fikse buil als souvenir.  Mij hoef je dus niet te overtuigen van het nut van het parkeren met de vorken plat op de grond!</p>
<p><strong>Maar, er zijn twee manieren om dit te doen:</strong><br />
- met de mast naar voor en de tip van de vorken steunend op de grond<br />
- met de mast vertikaal en de hiel van de vorken steunend op de grond<br />
Zelf ben ik voorstaander van de laatste manier, en ik zal eventjes vertellen waarom.</p>
<p><strong>Methode 1</strong> houdt in dat je de mast naar voor doet, tot de tip van de vorken op de grond steunt, je legt het contact af en je duwt nog een laatste keer met de hendel of de joystick tot de vorken helemaal naar voor staan.  Op deze manier komt de <strong>spanning van de ketting</strong>, en komt deze iet of wat los te hangen.</p>
<p>Ik vind dit geen goed idee, mocht de truck al wat ouder zijn, en de ketting niet meer in zo perfecte staat, dan zou je door te bruusk met de mast of de vorken te gaan bewegen <strong>de ketting </strong>te hevig onder druk zetten, waardoor deze kan <strong>breken</strong>.  Op dezelfde manier waarop je met je twee handen een touwtje breekt: door het los te laten hangen en er vervolgens een ruk aan te geven.<br />
Ik hoef u allicht niet te vertellen dat een gebroken ketting geen lachertje is?</p>
<p>Daarom ben ik fan van <strong>methode 2</strong>: je zet de mast netjes vertikaal, laat de vorken zakken tot de hiel op de grond rust, en legt het contact af.<br />
Klaar!<br />
Je zal merken dat de ketting nog steeds onder spanning staat, wat geeft dat een te bruuske chauffeur geen ravage kan aanrichten.</p>
<p>Welke methode is nu de beste?<br />
Wel, als je het aan mij vraagt: de tweede methode, en de heftrucktechnici geven me daarin gelijk, maar je kan genoeg instructeurs vinden die de eerste methode verkiezen.<br />
Nu, op zich maakt het mij niks uit op welke manier jij je heftruck parkeert, zolang je de regels maar volgt en je rekening houdt met de consequenties van beide methodes!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Zesde en laatste deel.</p>
<p>Gde zat een beetje mismoedig op de stoeprand. Hij had die dag nog geen ritje gehad. Zijn vriendinnetje was er vandoor en ik was ook niet al te vriendelijk naar hem toe.</p>
<p>“I know it; I am a bad person.” beschuldigde hij zichzelf om mij de wind uit de zeilen te nemen.<br />
-“You can do a lot to change that”.<br />
-“I have a bad karma.”<br />
-“Bull shit.”<br />
-“You are not Balinese; you don’t understand.”<br />
-“Bull shit.”<br />
-“I really love her.”<br />
-“And you really love the other one the same.”<br />
-“No, but she’s always after me. I already said to her that I want Janine, but she won’t leave me alone.”<br />
-“I think you were not clear enough to her.”<br />
-“I was, but she is so aggressive.”<br />
-Then be more aggressive too.”<br />
-“It is too hard for me to be unkind to anyone.”<br />
-“But now you have hurt Janine, is that not unkind?”<br />
-“You understand nothing about it.”<br />
-“Are you sure?.”<br />
-“No….. My life is so hard; I don’t want to live anymore.”<br />
Gde hing met zijn hoofd in zijn handen, vol zelfmedelijden en ik kon –hoe dan ook- niet meer boos op hem zijn.</p>
<p>“Taxi?” vroeg hij werktuiglijk aan een voorbijganger.<br />
-“Yes please”, was het onverwachte antwoord, “how much to Penestanan?”<br />
Gde verrees energiek uit zijn droefenis en begon zijn onderhandelingen.</p>
<p>Na een paar dagen kreeg ik een sms-je van Janine. Ze had een leuk onderdak gevonden in de streek Sidemen en aardige mensen ontmoet. Ze genoot van de prachtige omgeving en zond haar groeten aan: “you, Ketut and the serial lover.” Ketut kon zijn oren niet geloven. –“Greetings to me?” Hij zond direct een sms-je terug en grapte: “Don’t dream too much about me. Ok?” Met ondeugende ogen liet hij het me zien. Haar antwoord was: “Ok, I won’t, haha.”<br />
Daarna hoorden we een tijdje niets van haar.<br />
Na een week kreeg ik opnieuw een sms-je, waarin ze meldde: “coming back home on Sunday.”<br />
En daar kwam ze: verwaaid, maar vrolijk en uitgerust.<br />
Gde zat nog dezelfde avond bij haar op het terras en liet haar de hele avond niet meer alleen. Ik hoorde hun praten; de kamer ingaan, de kamer uitkomen, samen eten, en weer praten. Het klonk heel rustig allemaal en ik bemoeide me nergens mee.<br />
Laat op de avond stond Aiko al weer naast de auto op Gde te wachten. Niet vergeefs, kreeg ik in de gaten. Ketut wist er meer van, maar zweeg in alle talen.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-636" title="Kadek and Janine" src="http://balibatin.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/kadek-and-janine.jpg?w=300" alt="Kadek and Janine" width="300" height="293" /></p>
<p>Vandaag, de dag na Galungan, kwam de ontknoping.<br />
Janine gebruikte het ontbijt samen met een tevreden jongeman, die ik nog niet eerder had ontmoet. Hij werd aan mij voorgesteld als Kadek, haar vriend uit Karangasem. Wegens de feestdagen had hij een paar dagen vrij van zijn werk en hij kwam zijn nieuwe vriendinnetje ophalen om zijn vrije dagen met haar door te brengen. Janine pakte haar rugzak in en stalde haar koffertje in mijn kamer. Even later vertrokken ze samen op de motorbike.</p>

<p>Ik heb er verder niets aan toe te voegen.<br />
Alleen het piepschuimen vliegtuigje ligt nog op de kast in Janine’s voormalige kamer.<br />
Nu zoek ik nog een heel erg hoge boom om het  voorgoed in te hangen. “Ketut, can you help me please?”</p>
