<description><![CDATA[Have you joined the Meatless Monday movement yet?  If you have not yet, what are you waiting for?!  ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Have you joined the <a href="http://www.meatlessmonday.com/">Meatless Monday movement </a>yet?  If you have not yet, what are you waiting for?!  The movement <a href="http://www.meatlessmonday.com/the-movement-goes-global/">has gone global</a> with entire cities like <a href="http://voices.washingtonpost.com/mighty-appetite/2009/05/thursday_is_veggiedag_in_ghent.html">Ghent, Belgium</a>, and a month later, <a href="http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1104808.html">Tel Avivi, Israel</a> declaring meatless days.</p>
<p>In Israel, it was the food magazine, <a href="http://www.hashulchan.co.il/">Al Hashulchan</a>, that organized the movement.  Why? <a href="http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1104808.html"> The editor, Janna Gur, explains</a>:</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;">The idea is to say to diners: Eat less meat, save money and resources and also maintain your health&#8230;After all, it&#8217;s better to eat high-quality meat that has been carefully raised in good conditions and is maybe more expensive once a week than it is to eat meat everyday that we don&#8217;t know exactly where it comes from and might contain hormones and antibiotics. Most importantly, in Israel it&#8217;s great fun to be a vegetarian. There is an abundance of fruits and vegetables and it&#8217;s weird not to take advantage of this.</p>
<p>Al Hashulchan is supported by over 30 restaurants that have committed to serving more vegetarian dishes on Monday:</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;">Every Monday, chef Hussam Abbas of the Al Babour restaurant adds an abundance of vegetable dishes from Arab cuisine.</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;">&#8220;This is mainly because diners ask me for meatless dishes,&#8221; he said. On Mondays at his restaurant Abbas serves baladi eggplant with yogurt, rijli &#8211; a local plant from the north cooked with tomatoes and garlic, grape leaves &#8220;because it&#8217;s the season now&#8221; and meatless stuffed zucchini with rice and friki (smoked green cracked wheat). &#8220;Lots of people ask for this and in the summer it&#8217;s very suitable,&#8221; Abbas said.</p>
<p>How exciting to join a movement that has reached the <a href="http://wiseeats.wordpress.com/2009/09/28/delicious-bruschetta-recipe-for-meatless-monday/">Baltimore City School system </a>, Ghent, and Tel Aviv!  Not to mention, if you join or are a member, you have fellow Meatless eaters around the world.  Check out the Meatless Monday movement in other countries and snapshots of their websites!  <em>(Note: Click on the picture to go to that country&#8217;s site)</em></p>

<description><![CDATA[In a world &#8216;first&#8217;, StAnza is running a virtual poetry festival on Saturday 14th Novembe]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>In a world &#8216;first&#8217;, StAnza is running a virtual poetry festival on Saturday 14th November. Poetry events throughout the world are being streamed in to the Byre Theatre, St Andrews, from 1pm until late. You can see the event on stage at the Byre, or as a <strong><em>live webcast</em></strong> on the <a href="http://stanzapoetry.org/virtual-festival.php">StAnza website</a>. To repeat: It&#8217;s happening live, in real time. I&#8217;m reproducing the whole programme below. I have a personal interest in the Tblisi link, as a I met David Robakidze and Gaga Naxutsrishvili at the Utena Poetry Festival in Lithuania last year, and both are powerful performers. Well done in advance to Eleanor Livingstone of StAnza for organising this, and to the technical teams at the Byre and on the website. </p>
<h1>Distant Voices</h1>
<div>
<p><strong><img src="http://stanzapoetry.org/images/about/virtual-festival.jpg" alt="StAnza Virtual Festival" width="250" height="167" />- a one-day</strong> <strong>Virtual Poetry Festival </strong></p>
<p><strong>- Saturday 14 November 2009 </strong></p>

<blockquote><p><strong>Studio Theatre<br />
The Byre Theatre,<br />
Abbey Street, St Andrews<br />
Fife KY16 9LA<br />
Tel 01334 475000</strong></p></blockquote>
<p><strong>- and webcast free online</strong></p>
<p>On 14 November StAnza will stage a brand-new poetry event, a one-day virtual poetry festival, using the latest digital technology to link up poets from around the world. Poets from as far apart as Mumbai and Sacramento and many points in-between reading at live events in their own countries will be linked by satellite to the audience in St Andrews, and broadcast worldwide via an online webcast.</p>
<p>The event in The Byre Theatre will be free and unticketed, and people are encouraged to drop in. However if you plan to travel any distance to St Andrews for this, do contact us in advance on <a href="mailto:arts@stanzapoetry.org">arts@stanzapoetry.org</a> and we shall do what we can to reserve a place for you.</p>
<p>We hope that this initiative will attract not only poetry enthusiasts but anyone who is interested in the arts engaging with new technology. For the audience in St Andrews, StAnza will provide a day of innovative and exciting poetry. For press enquiries, contact <a href="mailto:press@stanzapoetry.org">press@stanzapoetry.org</a></p>
<p>During the live event, tune in to the webcast here.  If demand is high, we would ask you please to be patient and try again later. </p>

<p><em>OFFSHORE LOVE</em></p>
<p>When I met my girl-friend she already had with her:<br />
her child – as she had been married before,<br />
a scar under her knickers,<br />
a mascara poppy with a leaf, a romantic poison –<br />
with a famous bottle, sadness which she<br />
had picked from the cafés while sitting there<br />
with her ex-boyfriends<br />
and chain of  hotels haunting her day and night.<br />
I was writing down the stories that shocked me<br />
while as having read the others I was throwing them away.</p>
<p>So we have brought the child up: he’s already a man.<br />
He has a lot of CD-s and he never listens to anybody.<br />
He knows so well that bones can breathe.<br />
He laughs at years greeting him.<br />
After work he always goes his second home,<br />
he takes his father /he’s one of his mother’s husbands/ by taxi<br />
to his parents who are called Mr. Gikha and Mrs. Ria and<br />
who are on the photo.<br />
He loves his wife as much as his mother though she plays the floor<br />
and sometimes weighs every word and – as she said offshore –<br />
she respects her father-in-law and that’s why she always lays the table<br />
and sets the fireplace when he comes.</p>
<p>Sometimes I get fresh air into my house gardens.<br />
Sometimes I play with my grandchildren and put them to bed.<br />
Sometimes I forget my sadness and look after fruit.<br />
My girlfriend has no more heavy thoughts and headache.<br />
I threw the romantic poison away.<br />
Now I’m thinking about my guests &#8211; Mr. Morning and Mrs. Night:<br />
they seem to be late &#8211; as usual.</p>
<p>* * *</p>
<p>The trees which are necessary for life are given<br />
electricity each season.<br />
While as the ordinary trees are waiting for<br />
spring and water rising in rivers.<br />
In spring their buds will light up and stay like that until<br />
somebody will come and pick the ripened fruit.</p>
<p>* * *</p>
<p> You’re a cart pulled by two oxen –<br />
 a heart ox and a brain ox.<br />
 A voiceless man makes you carry loads.<br />
 And you’re going to be wise…<br />
 after the event.</p>
<p><em>WHAT IS “A MAN”?</em></p>
<p>   A man is:<br />
when you model a money-box of clay giving it a shape of a man<br />
and making a slot where a rib should be.<br />
 A man is:<br />
when you model a money-box of clay giving it a shape of a man<br />
and when you take it to sell at the market.<br />
 A man is:<br />
when you model a money-box of clay shaping it into a man<br />
and make children carried by parents turn their heads and have a look at it.<br />
 A man is:<br />
when you model a money-box of clay giving it a shape of a man<br />
and bring it hardly wrapped back home not having managed to sell it.<br />
 A man is:<br />
when you model a money-box of clay giving it a shape of a man<br />
and leave it to your children so that they should break it at the waistline until<br />
coins reach the throat.<br />
 A man is:<br />
when you model a money-box of clay giving it a shape of a man<br />
and never manage to explain how you have done that.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Op dinsdag 10 november zal het openlijk fascistische N-SA een toegestane betoging houden in Gent. Bl]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><blockquote><p>Op dinsdag 10 november zal het openlijk fascistische N-SA een toegestane betoging houden in Gent. Blijkbaar heeft het stadsbestuur er geen probleem mee dat onze stad een nacht onveilig wordt gemaakt door gewelddadige neonazis die al heel wat op hun kerfstok hebben staan . De Actief Linkse Studenten (ALS) vinden niet dat we dergelijke groupuscules zonder tegenkanting door onze stad kunnen laten trekken.</p>
<p>Het N-SA (Nationaal-Solidaristisch Alternatief) is een extreemrechtse organisatie die zich baseert op het fascisme en ook enkele Vlaams Belangers in haar rangen heeft opgenomen. N-SA kwam de laatste weken wat in de media naar aanleiding van een reportage in Koppen over hun congres. Daar kwamen enkele tientallen neonazi’s samen om te luisteren naar nazistische optredens en speeches die o.a. opriepen tot een blank europa en jodenhaat. Wanneer ze op straat komen zijn ze niet schuw om geweld te gebruiken tegen mensen met een andere mening of huidskleur. De ALS heeft dit al meermaals zelf ondervonden met als meest recente voorbeeld de poging van enkele NSV-en NSA-leden in Antwerpen om via brutaal geweld een ALS-meeting te verhinderen.</p>
<p>De N-SA betoging “tegen zinloos geweld” is enkel een excuus om een ganse nacht Gent onveilig te komen maken. Ze komen betogen tegen zogezegd anti-fascistisch geweld. Wij voelen ons niet aangesproken want hanteren geweld niet als methode in onze strijd. De ALS veroordeelt en distantieert zich duidelijk van dit soort methodes.</p>
<p>Met een vreedzame actie in onze studentenbuurt maken we duidelijk dat het N-SA niet welkom is en studenten niet akkoord gaan met hun gewelddadig, verwerpelijk gedachtegoed. De dag voor wapenstilstand zal de uitgaansbuurt druk bezocht worden. Als het N-SA zich na haar betoging zomaar kan mengen onder de nietsvermoedende studenten dan zullen ze die nacht geweld en intimidatie gebruiken tegen iedereen die er volgens hen “anders” uitziet. Enkel door samen op straat te komen kunnen we de overheden verplichten de fascisten niet toe te laten om af te zakken naar de studentenbuurt en hen liefst zo snel als mogelijk naar huis te sturen.</p>
<p>Het N-SA beweert in de context van de huidige crisis een antikapitalistisch alternatief te bieden maar bevat in realiteit enkel een boodschap van fascisme en nazisme. Door het gebrek aan een duidelijke linkse oppositie in deze tijden van crisis, kunnen dergelijke fascistische groeperingen echter aan terrein winnen met hun verderfelijk gedachtegoed. Een oplossing voor de groei van extreem rechts kan enkel worden bekomen wanneer de oorzaken worden aangepakt. Tot dan kunnen we natuurlijk niet op onze lauweren rusten en moeten we vermijden dat het haar methode van intimidatie en geweld kan toepassen. Maar een echte oplossing kan enkel bestaan uit het wegnemen van sociale problemen als armoede, werkloosheid,&#8230; die een voedingsbodem zijn voor extreem rechts.</p>
<p>De Actief Linkse Studenten en de anti-racistische campagne Blokbuster roepen iedereen op om samen met ons te mobiliseren tegen het N-SA op 10 november.</p>
<p>We komen samen aan de Blandijn om 19u30 en trekken vandaar richting Overpoort in een geweldloze actie. We willen ervoor zorgen dat de studentenbuurt gevrijwaard blijft van fascistische propaganda en de studenten gewaarschuwd kunnen worden voor wat er die nacht zou kunnen gebeuren. Volgens ons heeft het geen zin om de confrontatie met de N-SA aan te gaan. Anders plaatst het establishment de anti-fascisten op gelijke voet met de gewelddadige neonazi’s. Wij willen dat onze aantallen en onze boodschap domineren.</p></blockquote>

<description><![CDATA[A short report will be given since I ain&#8217;t like repeating myself&#8230; :s Pos: - funny to say]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>A short report will be given since I ain&#8217;t like repeating myself&#8230; :s</p>
<p><strong>Pos:</strong><br />
- funny to say but the location: I liked the fact that I did not had to search our car. In Ghent it is not easy to park your car. But from a photographer&#8217;s point I can understand that the location was not superb compared to a park you have before.<br />
- different eat- and drinking places: French fries, hot dogs, at the entrance and at the cosplay stage (I count 4!)<br />
with more diversity (hot dog, French fries, sandwiches, Asian, &#8230;) compared to the previous editions<br />
- stamp you received when you went outside which allowed you to come back in<br />
- option to leave your coats at the entrance<br />
- separate changing rooms (although some people definitely were wrong, unless they changed from sex) :s<br />
- toilets: 3 huge places (more separated and more available toilets compared to the other years<br />
- NURD!<br />
- reduction for cosplayers<br />
- the information/cosplay desk at the entrance. Clearly stated and perfect location!<br />
- the possibility to get cash <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
- more professional light equipment for the cosplay performances.</p>
<p><strong>Con:</strong><br />
- parking 5 euro&#8230; although we parked free on Sunday. =)<br />
- euh&#8230; where is the &#8220;costume price&#8221; which clearly was mentioned in the rules (on the website)?<br />
- performance stage, it seemed smaller and the location was not ideal<br />
- volume of the music: sometimes it seemed loud, sometimes too silent<br />
- unclarity with the Eurocosplay. They had to take also the potential participants of Sunday into account + the information was announced quite late.<br />
- lockers!<br />
- only 2 ticket booths. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong>Personal Con:</strong><br />
- did not had to opportunity to see/do stuff in hangar 3&#8230; it was too hectic/busy. Barely saw hangar 5.<br />
- Aztek-TV stand which was VERY busy. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
- I did not see lot of friends/cosplayers&#8230; gomen <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
- costumières (or whatever) of the Euro cospaly: they did not ask ANYTHING on how I made my outfit except: &#8220;may I see the inlay?&#8221;. How can you be certain that the person really made it her/him self if you only ask 1 CLOSED question?<br />
- why making huge publicity of the Eurocosplay and place the participants at the end of the huge competition? *confused*<br />
- missing fairy godmother and cinderella in our Disney group.<br />
- jealousy, gossip, and 2-face people. No thank you, not with me. :p<br />
- catwalk&#8230; first wrote on the website that it was obliged and in the end it was not needed? Why do you place a catwalk and add the rule in the first place?</p>
<p><strong>Personal Pos:</strong><br />
- saw people back, even if it was for one second!<br />
- children who loved our outfits!<br />
- dad who had clearly fun with being Merlin!<br />
- Jessie who loved our Disney group. Knowing that she it a HUGE Disney fan, it pleased me a lot that she was thrilled! <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
- learned a LOT this weekend!</p>
<p><strong>Suggestions:</strong><br />
- combi tickets: save time, more environment friendly and easier!<br />
- cosplay competition: spread this please. Do for ex. first the individuals, and hour break and then the groups. Of the same scenario but then the 2 &#8220;main&#8221; categories (games, anime, manga  film, divers, &#8230;). Advantages: cosplayers can see each other performance, less waiting for the audience/cosplayers and less &#8220;boring&#8221; for the audience. It will also seem that the performance stage is more used!<br />
- separated &#8220;reserved space&#8221; for photographers at the performance stage?<br />
- maximum in advance declared amount of participants for the cosplay (except Eurocosplay) and they get a discount or free entrance.<br />
- subscriptions cosplay: only in ADVANCE and NOT viewable on the net! (maybe put a reserve list of max 5 persons in working) More professional, only in advance == less waiting rows when confirming your presence, ask images/mp3 files in ADVANCE. I am also NOT interested to know who does what, I see it @ FACTS itself. It is a bigger surprise seeing others cosplays and you will avoid reactions like starting bets, suggesting that it is X who does Y, &#8230; Plus I do not understand WHY FACTS is the ONLY convention in Europe who allows lists of participants&#8230;</p>
<p>What also was somehow annoying: some where complaining towards ME about the JURY&#8217;s choice. Sorry but it is not in MY hands. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
You cannot change the history but you can learn from it. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Finally it is evening &#8217;cause tonight I&#8217;m going to the movies to see This is it. People already said me <em>the movie just</em> <em>is it! </em>When the concert was anounced in the O2-Arena, I stayed up all night for tickets and I wanted to go so badly, you really have no clue. Michael is my idol since I first heard his <em>Ben </em>through the speakers at home. I was sold. Now I can proudly say I have almost collected all his songs, some in differents editions. But there was still one wish, seeing him in person. Too bad it would stay with that dream. But tonight he is back on the screen in Kinepolis in Ghent. I can hardly wait.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Bien longtemps que je ne me suis pas penché sur How To Be Obnoxious! Aujourd&#8217;hui, au programme]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img title="Soulwax_potwnd" src="http://howtobeobnoxious.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/soulwax_potwnd.jpg" alt="Soulwax_potwnd" width="265" height="244" /></p>
<p>Bien longtemps que je ne me suis pas penché sur How To Be Obnoxious! Aujourd&#8217;hui, au programme, ce sera documentaire et musique. Je vais parler de <a title="Soulwax" href="http://www.soulwax.com/potwnd/loop/" target="_blank">Soulwax</a>, ce groupe Rock / Electro de Ghent en Belgique, composé des 2 frères Dewaele et de Stefaan Van Leuven et Steve Slingeneyer. Pour tout ce qui est Biographie, discographie, ca se passe <a title="ici" href="http://soulwax.info/" target="_blank">ici</a> et <a title="ici" href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soulwax" target="_blank">ici</a>.</p>
<p>Je veux vous parler du documentaire qu&#8217;ils ont fait en 2008 qui s&#8217;intitule <strong>Part Of the Week End Never Dies</strong>. Ce film retrace  le quotidien de la tournée de ces 4 musiciens. Je veux plus m&#8217;atarder sur une analyse filmographique de ce documentaire. Le réalisateur a choisi une forme bien particulière de filmer. La caméra balaye constamment de gauche à droite et de droite à gauche le contexte. Il y a quelques plans fixes mais ils se font rares!! N&#8217;ayant pas fait d&#8217;études de Cinéma, je me doute que cette façon de filmer n&#8217;est pas une invention en soi, mais je trouve ca impressionnant et ça donne un  effet de style super sympa qui nous permet d&#8217;avoir un maximum d&#8217;informations sur la scène filmée.<br />
D&#8217;autre part, c&#8217;est une des premières fois que je vois dans un documentaire musical une tel ironie d&#8217;un point de vue du montage. Lorsque la personne en voix off parle de pression insupportable, on voit un des deux frères assis tranquille, en train de se siroter un verre a une terrasse. Lorsqu&#8217;une personne dit qu&#8217;elle n&#8217;a jamais pris de drogue, on voit a l&#8217;écran un drogué en train de danser. Un gros décalage entre ce qu&#8217;on entend (audio) et ce qu&#8217;on voit (video).<br />
Rien que ces 2 ingrédients font vraiment de ce documentaire une petite réussite. Je ne vous cache pas que j&#8217;ai un gros faible pour ce groupe, mais ce documentaire vient confirmer le fait que ces mecs ont un train d&#8217;avance.</p>
<p>Quand même pour les crédits, le Réalisateur (Avec un Grand &#8220;R&#8221;) est <a href="http://www.partizan.com/partizan/musicvideos/?saam_farahmand" target="_self">Saam Farahmand</a></p>
<p>Pour se faire plaisir aux oreilles, c&#8217;est par <a title="la" href="http://www.myspace.com/soulwax" target="_blank">la</a></p>
<p>Sur ce Kampaï!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Lol&#8230; I just wanted a catchy title.</p>
<p>It seems like they are doing a hug effort! =D<br />
I heard that there will be lockers available for the visitors, +60 consoles and the assassin creed II demo (provided by Ubisoft) and the extra arrangements for the cosplayers (trip to London + best costume price).</p>
<p>This already sounds very good, it looks like they are taking a step in the right direction.<br />
But I am waiting for the con itself&#8230; simply because aside from this, things can still be the same.<br />
Therefore I will only form my opinion after Saturday the 17th.</p>
