Black Peter by the Grateful Dead

All of my friends
come to see me last night
I was laying in my bed
And dyin'

I just want to have
A little peace of mind
And a friend or two
I love
At hand

People roll up
Past a hundred and five
Gonna roll on up
Gonna roll back down

See here how everything
leads up to this day

And its just like every other day that's
Ever been

The sun, coming up and them
The sun, it going down
Shine through my window
And my friends
They come around

The people they know
But the people don't care

Take a look at poor Peter
He's lying in shame

Now his friends
Come and see
Come and see
Come and see

La Gombe
La Gombe or Gombe (formerly Kalina, after the lieutenant, E. Kallina) is a central district in Kinshasa City, in the north of Kinshasa Province, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). It is bounded on the north by the Congo River and in the south by the Boulevard du 30 Juin.

La Gombe is both a residential area and Kinshasa's business district. It also houses some of the DRC's principal governing bodies, including the Palais de la Nation and the Banque Centrale du Congo on the Boulevard Colonel Tshatshi. Various ministries, diplomatic and media organizations are also situated there.

The offices of Kinshasa's governor are located in La Gombe, making it the capital of Kinshasa Province.

Gombe
"Gombe" can refer to:
-Gombe State, Nigeria;
-Gombe the capital of Gombe State, Nigeria;
-Gombe Streams National Park in Tanzania;
-La Gombe or Gombe, the central business district of Kinshasa
-Gombe, a traditional Norwegian dish.

You have just got to let me turn your coat, man,

In his Harlem detective novels, Chester Himes brought the detective genre from Perry Mason to NYPD Blue.

"Coffin Ed Johnson and Gravedigger Jones", two Harlem detectives. "At 6:00 the rib joint was starting up the nights work; the vent spouted gouts of black smoke into the night air. 118th Street was bustling with activity. Coffin Ed and I were sitting in our car drinking coffe....."

Have you ever wanted to know what was going on in Bochcoworld while Martin Luther King Jr and Miles Davis were working?

My first major Wikipedia contribution was to the Chester Himes article, in 2004. Since then I have over 12,000 English and over 2000 Chinese wikipedia edits. Thank you Chester Himes.

Himes transitioned the detective genre from Perry Mason and Miss Marple, all the way to Shaft, Mannix and Stephen Bochco, like 50s rock n roll brought us from Tin Pan Alley to Elvis and Rubber Soul and rap brought us from Foghat to Danzig. Himes and others worked to create an environment in which The Wire, Silkwood, All the President's Men and The Godfather would be created. etc Car 54, where aren't you?

Bom dia! It's the Portuguese flag.

The shield structure is held together by straps, when the flag is flown, it seems as though the shield motif has been sewn together. The red and the green, the castles surrounding more shields, it seems like other flags. The strapwork is noticeable and interesting and is an important part of the flag.

Good one, Eliot;

Normally in the course of human affairs, as seen on cable news channels and sports radio, people talk and talk about all the different problems in the world and that's good; the governor seems to have actually alienated many people on Wall Street, the very key to his political venue. What a puzzling turn of events!

"田" is so funny here. One thinks of getting the harvest in and then setting to making frames for rice seedlings over the winter, for the planting. It's important to make the frames, a lot of scientific and technological thought is expressed here, and they seem a lot like pallets at the factory to me in their function and role.

田 is also a map of a ricefield, obviously. I grew up in an agricultural area in New England, fans of geology and geography know that Southern New England has a similar agricultural value to Long Island, home of legendary potato fields, Yaz, and famous tomatoes, as seen on tv's Seinfeld. I worked on the farm and lived for a month on an orange grove in Cheju, it was there that I understood how a farmer will think of his farm as a 田, and then take each quadrant and think of the quadrant as a 田, so on down to the individual plants or trees, all of which makes it possible to keep track of each precious one. I think graph paper was invented by farmers, (x + y)(x - y) and so forth.

Kamchatka OblastThat is a nice yurt. I should finish watching All About Lily Chou Chou, the ancient Altaic ways are so prevalent in Japan.

Recipe Talk: Coconut Milk

Coconut milk is good and good for you. Reading some recipes at 'the place that sells the canned Thai curry', one learns that it is ok to simmer coco milk for a long time, and one should fry meat and vegetables with the material at the top of the can of milk. Excellent information.

Making Thai curry from a small can of red curry, green curry, tamarind curry, etc, is simple, one follows the English language instructions on the label or one looks up some recipes online. The best recipe I have found yet involves making spaghetti sauce the normal way and then adding a can of coconut milk. As is the case with many other changes in my life in the past 15 years, I am sure I will never make plain spaghetti sauce ever again.

Here's a good one: bacon, coconut milk, vegetable, egg + fried rice.

Indian curry is another good idea, as with Thai it is easy and inexpensive to get restaurant quality food in the kitchen. The key is to cook up some 'garbanzos' to create the base of the curry.

Growing up with European-American food you learn it's good to simmer things, and sometimes leftovers taste better because the food gets more suffused with the onion, garlic, parsley, sage, as time passes. With Asian food, which may have a shorter simmering time, you fry or pop the spices in oil, as the beginning of the cooking process.

Czech

As of yet there's just not as much work put into these Czech names as the Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese names. I suppose after a long time passes new names will evolve, one definitely starts developing ideas for place names as one goes along with one's studies. Western place names are "place holders" that sometimes are interesting, and provide a workable phonetic translation product.

It's difficult but not impossible to find some productive thread of meaning in these translations, its difficult but not impossible to produce some kind of readable English expresssion, of the Chinese translation, of the Czech name. And it certainly is difficult to compile this list without it seeming very arbitrarily composed.

Cities

Brno: Squall at the market

Many Czech cities' names are part of the names of their respective regions.

Floating Tomato Garden, Inle Lake, Myanmar
Kampong Speu, Khmai
Kampong Speu is located near the ocean.

Brno has made me thoughtfult. "Squall at the market" is quite a concept, it led me to google "floating village" where I found a nice video of a trip to a town in Tonle Sap in Chinese Yahoo. This waterworld looks a lot like the landworld near it and there is an airconditioned church. The name of the video is 'Chong Khneas Floating Village on Tonie Sap Lake near Siem Reap Cambodia'.

As far as Czech is concerned, the national football team has been doing quite well, soccer and UEFA are not well-covered on ESPN and on national sports radio, it brings up a little-known aspect of Confucianism, "Geopolitical Confucianism", wherein we as European-Americans are supposed to pay attention to our ancestors across the pond. Given all the events of the last 100 years, it would be a good idea to do so. One gains merit in the act of watching sports. Perfectly amazing.

Niigata Prefecture

Niigata Prefecture. When I first started reading this wikiarticle I thought about all the feelings of being in love. It's very romantic, like moving in with someone, two people are now together within the context of society and the successful outcome of this existence is children and marriage, the continuation of the species, with lots of walking around, spaghetti dinners with bottles of wine, it's an important step in the sociobiological process of reproduction, with an emphasis on being very pleased with one's life and the results of one's existence. Do you remember when we used to sit, in the government yard in Trenchtown?

Seriously.

In this case the cat looking in is "long", it longs to be in the den or garrett one is now in.
三条市 | Looks like "3 Fixes".
柏崎市 | For men, one reliable method of moving from a single state to a double state involves ESPN, pro cheerleaders, Maxim, Brian McKnight, Jang Nara, and Ellen DeGeneres. After this works, the relationship itself is the center and the nice media blizzard is just something that is happening outside.

Be alert, care for your world

福岡県の自治体等 Fukuoka is a state or prefecture, in this case the cat at the mousehole is groomed, well dressed, all business. The carpool is here, off to work, you know the feeling. Our blog entry has taken a serious turn at the end. From days of wine and roses the seasons have turned to daily coffee and local work travel. Fukuoka State is at the north of Kyushu. Kyushu is one of two islands named for a number, Kyushu = 9 State, Shikoku = 4 Nation.

I just wrote this article on Chinese Wikipedia; it took about 20 minutes. I suppose I should sit down and turn out half a dozen more, but it is late, I have been reading all day. Writing zh:Wikiarticles is great language practice, one can copy part of an extant article and create entire sets of articles that don't exist, each province of Nigeria, Mexico, New Guinea, Burlington Vermont, it's also a lot like an exercise in public speaking, there is a thrill involved, one's work is in the book, more or less permanently, it creates a good discipline for oneself.

You stem

A phrase often heard in middle school.

Steroids are real prevalent, in our free society they are always there, in our high tech society they are very important to science. South Africa, Korea, Thailand, France, Massachusetts, the biology industry should be wide open, let common sense sort out the jags and misfits.

There are a lot of American jobs at stake and we need better therapies and pharmaceuticals. Let the congress and the senate put paychecks first.
