Pythonbrew, pip and github – Circumventing Issues on CentOS 5.8

I wrote a post a little while ago raving about the benefits of using Perlbrew to manage your perl installation and, crucially, allow you to install additional modules without the need of administer access to the machine.

Well, the Perlbrew project inspired a group of people to work on Pythonbrew, which is broadly similar but for python. It comes with pip, a really easy to use installer module that allows you to grab packages from PyPI (Python Package Index). Naturally, it working well on my system (Ubuntu 12.04) led me to recommend it to some of my colleagues for working with Python. And, naturally, it had issues. And, just to make things even more frustrating, the machine that they were using runs on an old version of CentOS (5.8) with what feels like nothing installed. Oh, and they didn’t have administrator privileges, so I couldn’t install anything without configuring it all for their home directory! URGH

Some modules, like matplotlib installed really quickly and cleanly:

$pip install matplotlib
Successfully installed matplotlib
Cleaning up...

The real issues came with ‘pip install numpy’ (and scipy), which seemed to fail on patching together some C libraries, with an end result:

Command /home/USER/.pythonbrew/pythons/Python-2.7.2/bin/python -c "import setuptools;__file__='/home/USER/build/numpy/';exec(compile(open(__file__).read().replace('\r\n', '\n'), __file__, 'exec'))" install --single-version-externally-managed --record /tmp/pip-2RdvJ1-record/install-record.txt failed with error code 1 in /home/USER/build/numpy
Storing complete log in /home/USER/.pip/pip.log

Short to say that the compiler “Failed with exit status 1′. On the machine that I was working on, this was a major pain in the arse. Plus, I had no way of knowing if it was merely that the version of libc was old or that I hadn’t included the correct library path. However, someone on a message forum suggested that I use the ‘bleeding edge’ github version of numpy as the issue might have been fixed. Low and behold:

$pip install git+git://
Successfully installed numpy
Cleaning up...
$pip install git+git://
Successfully installed scipy
Cleaning up...

Naice. I wouldn’t make a habit of using the github version of a project, but if you’re finding that you’re having issues with installing from PyPI then maybe give it a go!

Finally, MySQLdb also played up on the system that I was working on (again because of C libraries not linking). However, I came across PyMySQL, which is a pure python implementation of a MySQL interface, which is designed to be a ‘drop-in’ replacement to MySQLdb. As the project git wiki states:

“MySQLdb, is a C extension module that has a reputation of being difficult to compile, especially if you’re on a Mac. Additionally, end-users need to wait for new binaries to be compiled for each new release of Python [...]“

“It [PyMySQL] is also a drop-in replacement for the standard way of connecting to MySQL in Python, MySQLdb. Just import pymysql; pymysql.install_as_MySQLdb() in any existing project before MySQLdb is imported, and it’ll work.”

As it’s pure python, you’re already having issues with C linker libraries then perhaps try something written in pure python. ‘pip install pymysql’ installed it nicely on the ‘problem’ system nicely.

    Big thanks for that Adam!

    I got stuck at the same place trying to pip install numpy with the same failures. I get to easily lost on the forums and don’t really have the patience.

    Why on earth are these computers not set up / are we given rights to install the software we NEED to undertake our work. I’d rather they were all standalone boxes without any network connection!

    Anyway, thanks very much for that!

    • Adam says:

      It is a perennial problem! However, with pythonbrew on there you should be able to progress with your research without the need of root access. Fingers crossed anyway!

  2. Adam Zienkiewicz says:

    One major problem however – git is not installed on these computers either it seems!!

    Is this easy to rectify??

    • Adam says:

      If you go to here:

      And download the ‘zip’ of the file. It will go into ‘Downloads’ by default. Then:

      cd ~/Downloads *Or cd into wherever you downloaded it
      unzip *NB, the file name might have changed, depending on whether they update the github files
      cd git-git-e5acacf
      make && make install

      This will install git into your ~/bin/ folder

  3. Adam Zienkiewicz says:

    Hallo again! Hilarious Friday in Gloucester by the way – loved it! haaa!

    Wondering if you might have a similar trick up your sleeve for another install I’m having trouble with.. Open MPI.

    I’ve tried the following advice at:

    but for some reason the configure still doesn’t seem to be making the right MAKEFILES as when I do make all install, it quits straight away as if the correct files aren’t there..

    All this guff is really starting to get on my tits – give me a standalone 8core box any day!!

    • Adam says:

      In honesty I have not. A quick google seems to imply that it’s not dissimilar to the mac ports project (which I do use) and often works fine.

      However, installing a package with a package manager (such as aptitude or yum or whatever) means that you are playing with the system version of python, which means that you need root access. Pythonbrew allows you, the user, to have an install of python that is separate to the system version – so you can’t mess up the core workings of your machine!

A Really Good Idea

This weekend, I read about food trucks in my latest Sunset magazine. Here's their online blurb. They don't give you the full article if you don't want to pay the money, okay?!
Anyway. I was so inspired. What great fun. Flexibility & affordability would come with a food truck business. I found the truck I want. Nice, huh?!! I am still trying to decide what I will serve. Perhaps gourmet pizzas? No hurry really. Even though it would be more flexible & affordable than a restaurant, I probably won't have the time or money to invest in it for at least 25 years. So, I have time to decide what I will serve & to get practicing on that.

My Profitable Gambling Addiction?

Question by Henry: My Profitable Gambling Addiction?
I play online video games that have currencies in them, and I use Game Theory to accumulate incredible sums of wealth within those video games. This usually involves gambling with other players through various means such as player.vs.player combat in which items are at risk, gambling on the probability of an event occurring, etc. Now the thing is, I have learned so much from my adventure with gambling in games. I have significantly improved my mathematical skills, and I feel proud to have created some completely unique games that I’ve used to “clean out” others. I have done research on events in these video games and have made discoveries that nobody other than the programmers of them know.

I know what I’m doing. And I’m good at it. I turned 25$ into well over 50,000$ by playing these video games in my spare time. (I sell the video game currencies for real life money.) The problem is…

I’m in college now. No longer in high school, and I feel like I’m too tempted to spend time gambling in these video games when I should be out meeting people and further developing academic skills that will benefit me in the long run. Sure, making thousands of dollars on videos games is awesome. But in the long run, it’s not that much. Spending the time to say, improve my programming skills, or learn even more types of complex math, or contemplate things to research in real life, would all be more profitable in the long run than this.

I know I have to stop. I know I love it. I know I want to incorporate it into my life somehow in the future, perhaps through investments (hedge funds or something). But I have to stop for now and focus on other things.

I need advice. How can I reduce this urge to gamble? I’m addicted to the profits, and as crazy as it sounds, that’s bad. Because I know I can be profiting more in the long run by doing other things. I’ve made enough that I can graduate college debt free and have plenty of money left over to get me started. So it’s not like I need to do this anymore. But the idea of making more, and KNOWING that I WILL make more if I do it, is just so enticing. Not to mention, it’s risk free! Gambling with video game currency and selling for real life money. It requires no initial investment of your own money. How great is that? But yeah… Any advice on how I can get over this and move on? It was fun while it lasted, but i really do have to move on. It’s not worth the time investment anymore.

Best answer:

Answer by LegFuJohnson
Gambling involves risk of losing money. If you are advanced, knowing things other people don’t know, you aren’t gambling. You are working.

Answer by yahooer
I am taking a course in Scuba Diving where the monthly salary can range anywhere from $ 2,000-$ 100,000/month (based on whether you want to work or spend your time looking at fishes) I think this could be a good course for you to take. I am personally wanting to get into saturation diving which makes $ 30,000-$ 120,000/month based on resposibility upheld in the company. There is also a job that my teacher briefly mentioned that makes $ 88,000/month average working on the outskirts of India. But, I have not been able to find any supporting evidence of this salary so I don’t want to get my hopes up to much.I think scuba diving sounds like a great idea to me not just because of the high salaries, but also because of the fact that your lifestyle can be heavily routed in travelling and exploring which is, of course, much more exciting than sitting at a desk. For you I might suggest doing something like this.

1.) Go through the program and get a job on a cruise ship. I am guessing that this would be a very good job in terms of having a family (they can come to work with you every day and hang out on a cruise ship) The salary for this is kinda crappy ($ 2,000/month) but you get all amenities included and you are already rich anyways.

2.) Now with your $ 50,000/month plug it all into a secured investment account with an interest of 1.2%. You will make an increasing amount of interest of $ 600 every month after seven years you will be making your $ 50,000 every month just in interest. Do this for another seven years and you will be making $ 100,000 in interest every month.

So if this sounds appealing to you the school website is here
Typical first year tuition will run you about $ 25,000

Just look into your local bank for an account that will give you 1.2% interest where I am from this kind of interest is very common to come by.

Good luck!

Oh ,yeh, as far as your difficulty concentrating on the subject at school. This course is a little bit funner than your average school course

-You spend 8% (2 weeks out of 6 months) of it swimming in the Cayman islands, as ofc there is a need to have a good backing scuba diving

-You spend a good portion of it scuba diving locally and working out physically

If it is school stress that is slowing you down

-The academic part is based on a system called the “mastery approach” so what happens is if you get 75% or higher on your test than the teachers will work one-on-one with you to get you to 100%. If you get 75% or lower on the tests than the teachers will work one-on-one with you to reinforce the principles that you have clearly missed. This makes it much more assuring that you will get a good value for your money.

-The school has direct relations to companies all over the world so you can rest assured you will have a good job after completing the program.

Disney Bound

The weather has been gloomy lately and poor Taylor has been stuck inside. Our local resorts are all now closed so she has not even been able to go skiing despite all the new snow we are getting this fine April. She has been spending a lot of time on You Tube researching Disneyland. She will be spending her 5th birthday in Anaheim California at Disneyland and the surrounding parks. The princesses seem to be the most anticipated part of her upcoming California adventure. Although she is excited about the rides and attractions they would be that much better if she could get a princess to ride with her. Taylor and her friend Maclaren whom she is taking on her birthday Disneyland adventure just can’t believe there is a place on earth where there is a princess around every corner. I sure hope Mr. Disney doesn’t let them down!!

Did I mention we are driving.  That's about 12 hours in a car with one 4 year old and 1 five year old. Oh and the adults too.

Article Abstract

The importance and patterns for humanities education of Chinese ophthalmology residency

Authors: Ke Zheng, Yi Luo, Xiaobo Yu, Xinghuai Sun

At this point in time, the importance of medical humanities education has not been fully understood during the standardized training of residents in China. The study of medical humanities is an important facet of ophthalmology residency that needs to be strengthened. During the standardized training of ophthalmology residents, not only the medical sciences should be strengthened, but also the nature and practice of medical humanities knowledge should be enhanced in multiple aspects. Offering medically-relevant literature, history, philosophy and other courses, simulating real medical activities, being enthusiastic in popular medical science and increasing the contents of the examination in medical humanities would all be areas that would further advance the ophthalmology residency. Along with medical science education, residents will be led and trained on medical humanities as to build good medical humanistic spirit of patient care so that they may better serve patients.

The word "So"

There is a little bit of negativity surrounding the word, "So". Here are five different ways that "So" can be used.

1. So-and-so
2. So-So
3. So...(dot, dot, dot = awkward)
4. So called, blah, blah, blah (replace the blahs with appropriate words)
5. So good (but not really, sarcastic kind of "so")

Here is a scenario that exemplifies what I'm talking about.

1. Interior Comedy Club - Night

Life partners Steve & Robbie are sitting at a little lounge table enjoying Cosmopolitan cocktails. They just got done watching a comedian perform.

What did you think of so-and-so?

I think his name is Doug.

Does it really matter?

Haha. No. I guess not. He

A waiter approaches Steve and Robbie.

How's everything?

What did you guys think of Doug?

He was so--

WAITER (Proud)
He's my brother.

So good.

So, so good.

Really? Thanks guys. I'll let him know. Actually, I helped him write some of those jokes.

You don't say. Well, you should just go right ahead and quit your day job.

WAITER (Exuberant)
Really? You think I should? You do. Don't you? You know what, you're right. I should so quit. I'm going to quit right now!

The waiter rips off his apron and runs off.

I quit!

He so should have kept his job.

So should have kept it. Now he can run off with his so-called comedian brother and get laughed at for not being so funny.

Haha. Yeah. The funniest part of Doug's set was when he froze up and it got really quiet. Then he said, "So..."

Yeah. That was awkward. I laughed so hard at that.

Belief is important. Without belief, we have no reason to live. When I was at work, I looked at my desk and found some things that I believe in.

1. I believe in true love. These are a couple of pictures that I have showcased on my desk.

2. I believe in President Barack Obama. And I believe in America.

3. I believe in fresh breath (You're welcome Orbit).

4. I believe in rock n roll and my guitar.

5. I believe in a good moisturizer.

6. I believe in a good bromance. This is my current background on my desktop.

7. I believe in President Barack Obama and America, again.

I wonder

I'm going to preface by saying sometimes we as humans can think of some pretty messed up things. Also, epilepsy is a serious disorder and is nothing to laugh about. Without further ado (let's be honest though, no one can tolerate plain old ado let alone further ado), I present to you a little story that I wrote; well, a story that I'm about to write, right now. It might be sad.

Very Unfortunate Viola

A long time ago in the 1980s, Viola was just a little girl. Sylvia, Viola's mother, had to bring Viola to work with her down town at the Ballroom; because her babysitter a.k.a. father just got locked up. The Ballroom was a nice little erotic discotheque in the heart of a dangerous city. The whole night Sylvia thought that Viola was content just sitting there wide eyed, shaking out of beat to the music. It could have been because of the cocaine debris floating in the air. But no, it was due to the sight of the spinning discoballs which caused Viola to have a seizure. That was the first and last time that Sylvia brought Viola to the discotheque; because of the dangerous disco balls of course.

Later on in life when Viola was a teenager, she met a goth kid named Zachariah. She could relate to his dark interior which mirrored his dark exterior and his eye liner. However, one day Zachariah started going to the technotheque: a techno club. He changed his name to Zak and started dressing in fluorescent colored clothes. Oh, and he dyed his hair a very vibrant coral color. One day Zak asked Viola, "Do you want to see something cool?" Viola replied, "No." But Zak(ariah) showed her anyway. He whipped out two glow sticks and started spinning them around like he was a jester on crack. Viola immediately dropped to the ground and had a seizure. That was the last time Viola saw Zak.

When Viola was in her twenties, she moved to a nice little suburb and started her life over. She met a nice guy named Nick. One night Nick brought Viola to the highest peak in the town. Nick said, "I have something special to show you." Nick reached into his pocket. Viola said, "Dear God no." Nick pulled out a small nautical spyglass telescope and a map. "I mean, dear God, has ever showed me something this special" said Viola. Nick looked into the sky with the telescope. "I had a star named after you. Here, take a look" said Nick. Nick handed Viola the telescope. She looked up into the sky and saw the most beautiful, twinkling star. Then she had a seizure. That was the last time she saw Nick.

One day Viola finally found happiness and true love. Her boyfriend Lionel brought her to a park where they had a picnic. The sky was blue and the sun bursted with joyful little rays of fire and passion. When the time was right Lionel got down on one knee, pulled out a huge sparkling diamond ring and said, "Viola. Will you marry me?" Viola smiled and stared at the sparkling diamond ring. Lionel endured a long and awkward pause. Lionel exclaimed, "Ouch. I think I'm kneeling on a rock. Haha...So...Oh my God! Are you having a seizure?" Viola didn't answer Lionel because yes, she was having a seizure. When Viola came out of it, Lionel was right there by her side. Viola looked up at Lionel and said, "Yes. I'll marry you. Because no discoball, glow stick, shining star, or sparkling diamond ring can stop true love." They kissed long and passionately. Then they lived happily ever after.

Writer's notes: I believe I'm going to hell.

The Weekend Wrap Up

I learned some pretty valuable things over this long but not long enough (that is not what she said) weekend. I'm not going to be stingy with my knowledge. That's why I'm going to share it with the world. Let's get started.

A) It's probably not a good idea to eat a chicken cutlet sandwich & fried pickles after you just busted your ass at the gym. For one, you might find yourself busting your ass in the bathroom afterwards. Hopefully one set, one rep. Secondly, it's just not that healthy. However, those fried pickles were delicious. I think I'll just eat them before I do something active. Perfect. Problem solved.

B) A shot at redemption: So, I bought boxing gloves and tested them out on the punching bag at the gym. I was doing pretty well, showing that bag who the real sensei was. Then, in walked a senior citizen. He was atleast 68 years old. We'll call him Mickie. Mickie said something to me but I couldn't hear him clearly. Mind you, my ears were ringing a little bit because I had just head butted the punching bag. However, I think he said something like, "Give it up" or "Give it a rest". He smiled and I laughed it off. I was wondering what Mickie was doing in the boxing area. Then, he whipped out his hand wraps and wrapped up his hands. And I said to myself, "Check it out. This old timer is going to throw some fists at leather (I'm pretty sure that's the terminology that boxers use). Then he's going to throw out his hip." But right as I was about to say "hip", Mickie walked up to the speed bag and started speed bagging the hell out of that bag; like he was Rocky Balboa. So, what did I do? I started kicking the punching bag like I was Jean Claude Van Damme from his classic film Kickboxer. Then I grabbed my shin and fell to the ground. But I played it off like I was just stretching then turned it into a backwards tumble and stood back up. However, I fell back to the ground because I was still in pain. Then I proceeded to fall, stretch, backward tumble until I made it out of the room. Moral of the story: Don't discriminate against senior citizens...unless you're entirely sure they fit the stereotype. Administer the speed bag test if you have to.

C) I attended a wedding this weekend. I could barely hear the priest (maybe I should get my hearing checked). However, I did hear him make some Three Little Pigs/Big Bad Wolf analogy regarding marriage. I wasn't that impressed with it though. I'm a realist and I think if you can't maintain a stable home because some wolf keeps blowing it down, then you got bigger, badder problems on your hands. Chances are your marriage is just fine. It's the wolf that's the problem. Just get a shotgun and shoot the wolf. Is that animal cruelty? Maybe. But, if the wolf would just get a real job or a hobby then he wouldn't face such scrutiny. I mean, he goes around terrorizing three innocent pigs, a girl with a red hood, and a senior citizen. Next time he's going to mess with the wrong senior citizen like Mickie and get knocked the hell out. Let me get back to the animal cruelty thing. Maybe the BBW (Big Bad Wolf) is justified. Maybe he's just sticking up for the little pigs. Everyone wants to build a stable home for their family. But, you can't just go around turning pigs into carpenters and brick layers. That's just weird. There are practical ways of going about it. Try a real contractor. Moral of the story: Priests shouldn't make terrible analogies, period.(period)

Not at my expense

Some people just love to complain. They are the type of people that get nicknames; and not good nicknames mind you. For instance, there is this one lady that comes in from time to time. We'll call her Eileen or...Cryleen. She makes her life seem sadder than a depressed crack head with Alzheimer's who just realized that she forgot to pay her drug dealer and that's why her kneecaps are broken. But trust me, her life isn't any sadder than yours or mine. She just chooses to make every day sound like her worst day. You know that age old question, "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" Well, that doesn't make any sense because there will always be someone around to hear it and her name is Eileen. Not only will the tree fall, but it will somehow fall on her. That would be some form of hell for her because she wouldn't be able to complain to anyone. Then again, she'd probably just complain to the trees. Yep, she's something else. This is kind of how it goes down whenever Cryleen shows up. She'll open the door and enter my office.

Awwwwwww man. Heaviest door ever! Who put this door here? This door belongs in a castle. Look out everyone! I'm breaching the castle gates! Haha.

People cringe at the very sight of her. Then they drop to the floor and hide under their desks. I look around and realize that I'm the only one left.

Who is that handsome fellow?

I look around the room, pretending that I don't know that she's talking to me

ME (Not at all surprised)
Oh hello Eileen. What a pleasant surprise.

She doesn't give me a chance to ask her how she's doing.

Ugh! Did I tell you about my damaged left rotator cuff?

Um, yeah. I believe you did tell...

No? Well, I did a number on it. Ugh! And my knees. I could barely walk in here today. And that door. Let me tell you about that door.

ME (A little sarcastic)
Yeah. It's like it belongs in a castle or something.

That's what I was saying! I literally just said that. Weird. Ugh! Don't get old Ryan. Don't do it.

I won't.

I try to look away from her and return to my computer so I can finish my work.

Let me tell you why you shouldn't get old.

Bursting with excitement (I mean irritation) I slowly tilt my head back up and listen to her ramble on. Occasionally I nod my head or say something like, "Yeah" or "You don't say" (hoping that maybe she don't say anything else).

Ugh! If you had my back...

ME (Brainstorming in my brain)
First of all, I would never have your back; especially not in a fight. You're falling apart for crying out loud Cryleen. You certainly wouldn't have my back. The only time you would have my back is if I was giving you a piggy back ride. And then you'd still have the nerve to complain about your own back.

I think I have arthritis in both of my hands. I'm hurting all over.

ME (Brainstorming again)
Really? My ears hurt. Do you care? No.

Aww man. It looks like I finished early today. I guess I better head over to the other office.

Oh wow. That sucks (Please don't go?)

She didn't actually leave at that very moment. The conversation carried on for quite some time. And when I say conversation, I mean the conversation that she had with herself. I got two words in (or two syllables if you will) and they were "buh" & "bye".

Progression of the conversation through Facial Expressions:

This is what I looked like when I heard Eileen's voice from behind me.

This is me verifying that it is in fact Eileen.

Me smiling at Eileen; happy to see her.

Me listening to Eileen.

Me resting my face on my fist.
"Oh really Eileen? Really?"
Hmm. I wonder what Hulking out feels like.
Oh. This is what Hulking out feels like.
Maybe if I give her the Deniro, she'll stop complaining...No, she just said I look more handsome; handsomer. I can't say I disagree.

Elf Sighting

Sorry as Christmas draws near my nights get a lil crazier. But just because I have not been posting does not mean the elf has not been up to mischief.
Here is the recap of the last few days.
Elfy decided to go on a joy ride to pick up some pine cones. I guess of you are an elf you don't need reindeer, hee hee.

I guess he must miss the snow since he decided to make a mess on my counter making snow angels. Then Savannah decided to have a snowball fight with him and buried him in snow. One point Savannah.

Not sure if Elfy is hungry or just trying to scare Sara into potty training. Either way this was a big hit.

I cant wait to see what Elfy does next.
Till next time, God Bless,

A.M. Bush - The Aftermath

Date: Carnival Saturday 2012
Location: Chaguaramas
Cost: $450

 I really didn't want to write this review eh.
Cause this J'ouvert party was DE WORSE!
The end.

Nah...ah lie.
It wasn't really.

I really didn't want to write this review because of how BESS this J'ouvert party was. It was so bess that I fraid it will be over subscribed next year.

I have only ever played J'ouvert once in my life and that was way back when I was 15 years old...and I hated it. I hated the darkness, the cold, the mud/paint etc. And I never tried it again after that.

So what made me do a J'ouvert party? Friends nah. All of us were supposed to play mas together in Bliss, but then some of us changed bands to K2K/Fantasy etc. So we decided this would be the one event that all of us could meet and lime in.

Fast forward to Saturday morning, we packed away our cameras and phones in ziplock bags and car pooled our way to Chaguaramas where we parked by Samaan Park and were shuttled to the 'secret location'.

From the time we jumped on the shuttle, the vibes started. The maxis was playing soca at the highest decibels and people was wining in the maxi.

As the shuttles stopped and we jumped out the maxi, we spotted our crew one time and after all the hug up and greetings, the ting start one time. When Machel sang Vibes Cyar Done this year, I think he sang it for this party. Cause form the time we got there to the time we left it was nuff vibes.

Oh gosh you here too?!

So how the J'ouvert party works is this, we party and wine dong low in the secret location until the sun comes up, then we head out onto the road. Basically that's it. While waiting for day break, is level cho wine, drinks and paint.

Chipping outta de bush

1. Drinks
I eh know bout the alcohol, I think Single Barrel ran out and my friends had to drink Black Label  instead. Being the designated driver I had coke and juice, except for the shot of Patron from a fellow partygoer.

Once we made it out of the secret location, we had sandwiches to eat. Hops and saltfish, and hops and something else that I cannot remember now. The saltfish was bess and they weren't limiting you really to how many you could take. Some of us *cough* had at least two.

3. Paint
You get your paint in some of those small BlueWaters bottles. We started off with black, then came orange, red and blue. And every man jack who pass through our group had to get paint.

4. Buckets
At some point in time, just before we started heading out of the bush, someone came and dropped off empty Ozone soap powder buckets. People had buckets on dey head, used it as a receptacle for their drinks, used it to hold their drinks and to hold larger quantities of paint.

5. Music
BESS! I had no complaints with the music, except for one moment when we were heading out on the road and I heard Rihanna singing bout finding love in a hopeless place, when all people wanted was to cho wine all over de place.
We also had honorary Trini, Beenie Man in attendance as well as, straight off his Groovy and Power Soca Monarch win, Machel Montano. They entertained us with a medley of both their songs on the way out of the bush.

6. Bathrooms
The theme for Caesar's Army was "Me Tarzan, Me Jane" and due to the long lines to use the porta potties, when nature called, we really had to go "Me Jane and utilise the surrounding bushes.

Kudos to Caesar's Army for having a cleanup crew, so as we moved off, they were picking up empty bottles of paint, used cups etc so the venue was left clean.

Overall Caesar's Army A.M. Bush J'ouvert gets 6 cho wine out of 5 for me. It was EPIC!
De jabjab fork cho wine all on de pole

speed (killing)

I haven’t been home much since I moved in. I know it’s been seven weeks since I got the keys to the new house, but I’ve probably spent eight nights here in that time.

Not that long, really.

But long enough to realise that there was a problem, of some kind, with the broadband speed.

I raised this with my ISP. They put me on hold and ran ‘a few tests’ and yep, they came back on the line and said “You should be getting better performance than that!”

They put me on hold again and went off to do something else.

A couple of minutes later they said “It looks like Openreach have put you on the wrong kind of broadband. I’ve raised this issue with our provisioning team and within 24 hours you should be getting speeds closer to what you expected.”

Twenty-four hours later I ran a speed test that yielded

Download: 70mbs
Upload: 20mbs

So well done to Plusnet for sorting things out.

And a big fuck off you useless fucktards Openreach, for giving me 8mbs down and 1.2mbs up, when I should have been getting 70/20 from day one.

Nurse Unit Manager Kate O’Reilly-Bradley with a new baby warmer.
September 8, 2017

The maternity unit at Armadale Health Service (AHS) recently received two new Panda warmers to better care for babies.

The new model is all encompassing with a number of features. These include an integrated weighing scale, more precise heating which keeps the baby warm without overheating the caregiver, and contains all the equipment required for resuscitation.

Nurse Unit Manager Kate O’Reilly-Bradley said the newer model is also easier to use and transport.

“The new warming unit will benefit babies as everything is built into it,” Kate said. “When newborns are unwell, they don’t like to be handled.

This unit will allow us to do everything without having to move the babies back and forth.”

Craig and Komarnitsky

William Lane Craig posted a video on youtube attempting to rebut Kris Komarnitsky's theory about cognitive dissonance the origin of Christianity, as he articulated it in his book Doubting Jesus' Resurrection: What Happened in the Black Box?

Komarnitsky responded to him. Boy oh boy. Craig brought up criticisms that Komarnitsky addressed in his book! And things get worse. Look at what Kevin Harris, the man interviewing Craig, had to say:

"I had no time to read Kris' book and was keying off an article on it. Bill hadn't read the book either; I rather threw it at him knowing he could address cognitive dissonance."

That's very revealing. Both of you think that you have the power to divine the contents of Kris' book, and on top of that, you demonstrate just what a sheep you are: You just know Craig will be able to address the issue at hand, even without knowing the facts yourself, and ironically not even realizing that Craig's fallacious rebuttals were addressed in Kris' book. Shame on you.

Addendum: Here's a real howler in Craig's video: About 7 minutes in Craig starts talking about how we need to put ourselves in the shoes of a first century Palestinian after his messiah has been killed. What would such a person do? They probably wouldn't say Jesus had been resurrected, they would probably get a new messiah or they would, in Craig's words from 8:05 to 8:15: "They could've spiritualized the messiah. Maybe they could've said, 'Well, Jesus is a spiritual king and his kingdom is a spiritual kingdom, despite his death, and therefore we can still believe in his messiahship in a spiritual sense.'

I know. And it's not as if there are any signs of that occurring in the New Testament. Oh. Except that there are; John 18:36: "My kingdom is not of this world..."

The rest Craig says is dead wrong, and if you don't know that already, I'm preparing a book which will deal with all of this in some detail.

The Bible Geek Aug. 27

Here's a transcript of a question I sent in to the Bible Geek which Bob Price read and responded to in the August 27 podcast about 52 minutes in:

"In Dennis MacDonald's book The Homeric Epics and the Gospel of Mark he puts forward the idea that as Mark wrote his gospel he imitated the epics of Homer but sometimes altered the story in such a way as to show how his values were different from Homer's. I think I've found an example in the gospel of Matthew where Buddhist scriptures (you read right!) are imitated with a twist in order to emphasize different theological values. Buddhism was alive and well in the Hellenistic world (Wikipedia has some good links and historical references on that) and there were apparently Buddhist missionaries in the Middle East/Mediterranean prior to the gospels. In the Buddhist scripture, (Jataka 190), there is a story about a disciple of the Buddha who begins walking on water but begins to sink after he loses his meditational trance. The point of the story is that you can do anything through focus. Contrast this with Matthew 14:22-33 in which a disciple of Jesus begins to walk on water but sinks when he loses faith. Point of the story: You can do anything through faith.

"I think the early Christians knew about the Buddhist story (it was likely present in the culture of the time) and imitated it but with their own change in order to show how their values differed from Buddhism. Though many others have noticed this similarity and Randel Helms has suggested borrowing, as far as I know I am the first one to recognize why it was borrowed. What sayest thou?"

By the way, you can now purchase Robert Price's Deconstructing Jesus and Incredible Shrinking Son of Man: How Reliable Is the Gospel Tradition? for your kindle for under ten bucks each. Fascinating books.

Why No Posts?

Yep, it's been a month since I've posted anything. But I have a good reason: I've been working on a new book. I would say it's about 15% complete. Progress has been slow, but it should be good. Stay tuned for updates.

I love April Fools day!

Once a year is not quite enough for me, but when it does come round, I do love a good April Fools day joke. It gets harder and harder as more and more people toughen up to the experience, and predict that I will be menacing them in some way. But there are always the unprepared. Here is a snippet of the email I sent to the Bradford Cathedral staff:

"Dear (name excluded to avoid embarrassment, but he is incharge of the new Bishops Installation)

I was at a meeting at the 1 in 12 club (an anarchist collective in Westgate)
lastnight and I heard some disturbing news. Not only is the the day of the
new Bishops service going to be Bradford's Gay Pride festival, which has
probably added to the complexity of the day, but the UK Uncut have earmarked
that day as a 'Day of Anger' at the Church of Englands use of overseas tax
on some of its investment.

Cathedrals up and down the country are going to be targeted, and it is my fear
that Bradford will be especially targeted because of the Bishop's service.

Anyway, try not to be too worried, many of these protests are on a much smaller
scale than the anarchists hope - but I thought you should be warned.

Have a good day, blessings

The poor fellow completely went for it, especially as the Gay Pride parade is certainly taking place on the same day, making the anarchist 'day of anger' even more plausable a complication.  I am lucky that a central plank in Christian theology is forgiveness.

blood-transfusion-jw The “No Blood Card” that Jehovah’s Witnesses carry with them has experienced very significant changes over the years, as you will see in this article. It was simply referred to as “the blood card” for many decades, then came to be called “the Advanced Medical Directive”. The last major change occurred in 2004, when it was combined with a Durable Power of Attorney specific to each state and is at times referred to as the “DPA”.

The first example shown is one of the older versions of the blood card that Witnesses carried back in the 1960’s. You will note its clear and uncompromising statement about the use of blood. It says specifically “I demand that blood, in any way, shape or form, is NOT to be fed into my body…”

This statement is quite interesting for two reasons:

  • We seldom hear Jehovah’s Witnesses talk in terms of blood transfusions being a “feeding” on blood. This is because they now know that a transfusion is not a feeding on blood, but rather an organ transplant. The old view was based upon outdated medical views that were discarded nearly a hundred years ago. Today, Watchtower writers are forced to speak in terms of how it is wrong to “sustain one’s life” by means of blood. As we have shown, however, the Bible no where talks about blood in this way.
  • The other interesting thing about the wording in this older card is that it would clearly prohibit a Witness from taking any of the multitude of blood products that have worked their way into the Watchtower’s approved list. It accurately reflects the position taken by the Society in the following quote:

“Whether whole or fractional, one’s own or someone else’s, transfused or injected, it is wrong.” – The Watchtower 09/15/1961 p. 559

What follows below is the current “Advance Medical Directive” being used by Jehovah’s Witnesses:

The current blood card, or “Medical Directive” is no longer able to make the same uncompromising statement. Why? Because the Society has gradually modified its once firm position, and now allows every part of the blood to be transfused or injected if sufficiently fractionated. A doctrine that made little sense to begin with, now makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Are you still carrying this document in your wallet? If so, why? It may well become a warrant for your untimely death. Children of Jehovah’s Witnesses, though not even baptized, are called upon to carry a similar card:

1999 blood card childb

Beginning in 2004, the Watchtower announced a major change in how the blood card was to be issued as shown below:

12-04 KM

This new policy eliminated the annual service meeting part and distribution of new blood cards that were completed and signed each year to demonstrate the individual’s continuing commitment and belief in the policy. This marked a dramatic departure from the established policy – one that medical professionals relied upon in assessing the actual wishes of an unconscious Jehovah’s Witness who showed up at the emergency room. Why was this done? Note the following:

Note the level of alarm sounded by the Watchtower Society because one card was approximately five years old and more than half were unsigned, not witnessed or out of date. The reports certainly call into question the degree of support among Jehovah’s Witnesses for the blood policy.

Under the new arrangement announced in 2004, the elders would only have to make one thorough sweep of the congregation members to insure their permanent compliance and eliminate this hugely embarrassing situation.

The obvious downside to this new arrangement is that emergency department physicians must now speculate as to the actual degree of commitment from the individual unconscious Jehovah’s Witness patient since their signed Advanced Medical Directive is now more than ten years old.

For these reasons, we believe that it is incumbent upon emergency room physicians to verbally verify the level of commitment to the current Watchtower policy. Especially in view of the fact that it is well-known a significant percentage of Jehovah’s Witness secretly oppose the policy and feel coerced into carrying the blood card or risk exposure as apostates with subsequent shunning.1,2,3,4

PMID 7065795.

2-Kaaron Benson, H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute Cancer Control Journal, Vol. 2, No. 4, November/December 1995, “Therefore, while most adult Jehovah’s Witness patients were unwilling to accept blood for themselves, most Jehovah’s Witness parents permitted transfusions for their minor children, and many of the young adult patients also were willing to accept transfusions for themselves.”

3-Gyamfi C, Berkowitz RL (September 2004). “Responses by pregnant Jehovah’s Witnesses on health care proxies”. Obstet Gynecol 104 (3): 541–4. doi:10.1097/01.AOG.0000135276.25886.8e. PMID 15339766. “This review refutes the commonly held belief that all Jehovah’s Witnesses refuse to accept blood or any of its products. In this population of pregnant women, the majority were willing to accept some form of blood or blood products.”

4-Empirical data suggest to us that the current level of dissent may be significantly higher. We base this upon the conversations we have had with Emergency Department Physicians and Anesthesiologists at medical conventions.

Course Description

The United Golf Resorts golf course at La Tercia and is located just off the C-3319 San Javier to Murcia highway.  This is just a 9 hole course at the moment and thier are plans to extend to 18 (but no work has begun yet). This golf course has a unique ‘aqua’ driving range which is the only one of its type in Spain and which simply must be experienced by every golfer who visits this course. Good putting and chipping areas as well

Clubhouse Facilities and Services

Nice comfortable and friendly clubhouse with restaurant, very nice quiet setting

Course Review and Scorecard

This golf course was designed by Jose Gancedo who was also the designer of La Finca and you can see many of his ‘trademark’ features on this course including the variation in green size and shape and the additional 19th hole.
The course is planned to be an 18 hole layout but at present only the first nine holes are open for play and the scorecard is as shown below:

Hole   Par   Metres   Metres   Metres
1            4      394         381        333
2            3      180         171        141
3            5      571         535        487
4            3      109           97          75
5            5      484         463        418
6            4      294         287        248
7            3      205         188        147
8            5      507         483        457
9            4      298         279        254
Out      36    3042      2884      2560

The main feature of this golf course is the ‘Ramblas’ (dry river bed) which winds its way through the centre of the course.
The course designer has incorporated this as the main hazard
What the golfers will experience on this course is that the par 5 holes offer the biggest challenges for a variety of reasons
The course opens with a down hill par 4 hole of 381 metres which plays longer than you think and you must trust the distance markers on this course or you will continually be short.
The third hole is an absolute ‘brute’ at 535 metres (588 yards) particularly if played into the wind.
The 5th hole looks like a good birdie opportunity on the card but wait until you get to the green which only six metres wide and 50 metres long and undulating along its entire length.
The 8th and 9th holes sum up this golf course because the 8th is a long par 5 hole over water but with the narrowest of landing areas for the lay up shot and the 9th hole is a typical risk or reward hole where fortune may favour the brave if you go for the green or alternatively it could turn into a card ‘wrecker’
This is a new golf course and there are parts of the surrounding banks and hills which need time to mature and for the grass to grow but the tees and fairways are in a good condition and the greens in particular are some of the best in Murcia and this course is well worth playing for golfers of any standard.

McCluskey leaves it late

Thomas McCluskey hit a stoppage-time winner as Albion made it three straight victories by coming from two down to beat Montrose 4-3.

Stephen O’Neill fired the hosts in front in the sixth minute and then set up David Banjo to double the lead after a quarter of an hour.

But Mark McGuigan started the comeback three minutes later when he converted Ross Davidson’s pass.

McGuigan was on target again to haul Rovers level with a 32nd-minute header from Alan Reid’s cross.

Davidson put the visitors ahead just after half-time when he buried Joshua Mullin’s pass from close range, only for Banjo to grab his second to equalise.

But McCluskey settled it three minutes into injury time when he collected Alistair Love’s pass and fired home.

so inspired... etsy artisans who make receiving packages fun!

It's always fun to get a little extra bitty with an order,

to get a little card

or special handmade gift bag or box,

or even just a fun colored tissue paper wrapping!

Susan Lambert in Charlotte, N.C....etched blue beads and textured copper washers, plus a bonus disc bead...see her blog here, too.

Lynn Davis in St. Louis, MO...Asian connector beads, plus an extra bead, and a handmade box and little paper goodies as well!...her blog is here. (The hare was just curious and had to investigate.)

...and Tony and Lisa in Inman, S.C......Shibuichi component thingies and Tony's handmade mixed fiber bag....their blog is here.

I think it's kinda funny that I'm like the kid who wants to play with the box that the toy came in rather than the toy...but I'll get to that too. I just love the photo opportunities that these treasures afford me along with the treasures themselves.

macro nuts...

I ran across a bunch of sites that have photography challenges each week. I got really enthused about the MacroDay "nuts" theme and wanted to do some outdoor photos of hardware that happens to be around my house, but the days got so cloudy I had to wait. I finally decided to photograph some nuts inside the house, like almonds in case you were envisioning other ways of portraying nuts ;-), and was pretty happy with the results, but now I see that the theme has moved on to "tags"! Oh well, here's my "nuts" photo anyway ;-).

Maybe I'll have better luck with tags.

coupons for michael's...

You can subscribe to Michael's ads and coupons at I just received an email with a link to these coupons which I'll share here. I've seen these on other websites, and I don't see any restrictions on posting these except for the one that says they don't accept reproductions on the coupon itself...yet these are meant to be printed out on your printer and brought in to the store where they do accept that doesn't make much sense. Here they to make bigger and save to your pc and print, or go to the link and print the page. They're only good for this week, Feb 9 to 14.

taking it slow...

Two sick boys on my mind...making soup, lots of tea, pots of steamy chamomile and eucalyptus for breathing in...trying not to run my self down in the process. (oh, and this, too seems to be helping alot... Hyland's Flu, a homeopathic remedy for the flu)
Here they were a few days ago in the snow...

...I look forward to seeing them in action again!

We've had unseasonably warm temps lately. That always seems to do it...just when you want to be out enjoying the day...although with the snow melting down that means a lot of wetness. Probably contributes to the tendency to get sick. Pre-spring fever, I guess.

While they were sledding, there were two Turkey Vultures overhead, and yesterday's sun lit up a little teacup set on my windowsill...they all came together in this...

I'm enjoying playing with Photoshop lately. So easy to put ideas together and get something strange and unusual!
I plan to use the bottom black part for a quote inspired by Neil Gaiman in Neverwhere. Here's the original, which stuck with me as soon as I read it..

"He had gone beyond the world of metaphor and simile into the place of things that are, and it was changing him."

I've been working on something like that myself, so it seemed very profound to me when I read it.

I've been working on this necklace lately. I've had the focal bead for a looong time. It's called Fossil and was made by Kaye Husko (KoregonBeads). I found it on ebay one day and it spoke to me and I had to have it. I think Kaye had described it as something that looks like it might have washed up on the beach, and I like that imagery.

I just purchased some silver findings from Cathy Dailey (dotted bail and s-clasp) on etsy and the idea for this necklace came together for me. I love it, simple as it is. Today I photographed it on a cedar shingle that Trader Joe's was getting rid of awhile back. They had been re-doing the look of the store's interior and had the old cedar covered fixtures outside. When I asked, they told us which pieces they wanted to get rid of and my husband did the heavy work of taking them all apart and carting them home. Most of the cedar ended up on our treehouse.

Anyhow...this photo was taken with the board balanced on my windowsill which faces south, and then I cropped in close and sandwiched it with two different through-the-lens textures from Flickr. (white ttv and mirror) There's a tutorial here.

So here's the results...I like them both, but I think the first one keeps more of the effects of the sun and shows the colors better.

The little silver charm at the bottom came from a bead show seller...I don't remember who it was, they were fairly new and hadn't even been able to get set up to take credit cards in time for the show...I do wish I knew who it was, but anyway, the charm is Hill Tribe Silver and so sweet. It reminds me of a fossil, so it's been hanging out with this bead for a long time, just waiting for the right setting to be used in.

I also might add some wire wrapping on the strap with some beads, but I wanted to get it photographed today while I could.

Comments and observations are much appreciated. I'm not too sure about the wire wrapping on the ends. I didn't want to cut the ends too short, but I don't know if I like them sticking out as they are. I'm wondering if I should have put a little glue inside before wrapping. I eventually want to set up my etsy shop, but this one is for me...I'm too attached to the bead at the moment to think of selling it.

Improvisations: Susan Abod and Steve Figueroa

Vocalist and pianist dive headfirst into new projects

Arriving for the sound check before her first appearance at the Women’s Voices Concerts a few weeks back, vocalist Susan Abod wasn’t sure what to expect. She’d never played with the band for her set, led by pianist John Rangel.

She launched into her first tune, which begins rubato before locking into a tempo. “So I’m kind of like moving my arm to give him the feel, and John says, ‘Susan, stop conducting. Trust me. Just sing, and I’ll be there.’ That’s what the evening was for me. I let it happen,” she says.

Did she ever, singing with a freedom that exhilarated the audience. Blessed with a clear, expressive voice, daring playfulness and an empathetic heart, Abod filled the songs with a living presence that was irresistibly unpredictable.

Her energy and the buoyant humor in her own compositions are all the more remarkable for her ongoing struggle with chronic fatigue immune dysfunction syndrome and multiple chemical sensitivities syndrome, insidious conditions that sap body and mind. Four years ago, her search for a less-toxic living environment led Abod to move to Santa Fe from Boston, where she was enjoying great success with her singing career.

While she cast herself more as a cabaret singer in the past, she’s been heading deeper into jazz territory these days—thanks in part to working with local guitar wizard Lewis Winn, who’ll accompany her at the Outpost, along with Michael Olivola (bass) and John Bartlit (drums).

“I’m letting myself move more into improvisation,” she says. “Working with Lewis really has been quite wonderful because as a duo, we just had a lot of space. So I had more opportunities to scat and improvise and stretch the phrasing and become more familiar with improvisation.”

Abod also loves “characterizing songs in a different way,” she says. “I love when singers do that—take a James Taylor tune and completely change it around.”

On her CD In the Moment, Abod does just that with The Drifters’ “Up on the Roof”—the first song she ever heard on the radio, she says. Her interpretation is so singularly revealing that you want her to sing only other people’s tunes. Except that her own are too good—full of wordplay, insight and a tenacious optimism.

“I don’t know many Native Americans that play jazz, and I think that Native Americans coming together to make a jazz group is even more rare.”

Pianist Steve Figueroa

Gathering of the Tribes

Popular local pianist Steve Figueroa, whose mom is from Laguna Pueblo, has long wanted to put together a group of indigenous musicians playing America’s indigenous art form, jazz.

“I don’t know many Native Americans that play jazz, and I think that Native Americans coming together to make a jazz group is even more rare,” he says. “I’m not trying to make it into a racial thing. It’s something me and Milo [bassist Rob “Milo” Jaramillo, of Isleta Pueblo] have talked about, but the issue has always been, Who else are we going to get?”

The arrival of drummer Louis Speaking Eagle, a descendant of Mexico’s Zacatec and Maya tribes, solved that problem. With credits that include playing with renowned bassist John Heard, Louis Speaking Eagle became the final piece in a new trio, Steve Figueroa’s Red Hot & Red.

Figueroa, who has a lot of experience in the piano trio format, plans to feature both his bandmates. “I don’t want it to be just about me,” he says. “I want to try to make it a more equal kind of thing.”

He points to Ahmad Jamal, Bill Evans and Brad Mehldau, all of whom created a spaciousness in the trio format, as inspirations for the new group. Look for a set of fluid, straight-ahead jazz with Figueroa’s signature Afro-Cuban influences.

Steve Figueroa’s Red Hot & Red and Susan Abod appear at the Outpost on Thursday, July 9, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $15, $10 members and students, available in advance, by phone or in person, at the Outpost (210 Yale SE, 268-0044).
