I have arrived safely to Sweden and have spent 2 weeks getting things to work here. Among them trying to get my Internet to work... Sigh... but now I am up and running! I missed you guys! I really have some catching up to do! I made this recording (and another one) as the last recordings in my "sauna" in Denmark. "Luz en la Capilla" (Light in the Chapel) is a Prelude in my series "Images from Spain" that also contains: "Canción de Luna", "Canción de Amanecer" and "Feria de Pueblo" (not yet published!). It describes the silence in a church on a warm summers day. Outside is the noisy market going on... a time to think and contemplate. I am leaving for Miami, Florida tomorrow so I will not be able to respond to your comments for a while. I will be in the States for 5 weeks. YAY!! Spending the summer with my beloved Marie and Verónica. I hope we will find time to record a video there... who knows?

In the summer of 1982 The Hot Antic Jazz Band played a concert in the town of Uzes just west of Avignon in the southern part of France. It was just fantastic that they had been able to contract famous alto player Benny Waters to join them, even more fantastic that there was a cameraman with camcorder in the audience. Michel Bastide, trumpetplayer and leader send me a set of films from this event and we like to share this with you. Benny Waters had a long career, he was born in 1902 in Baltimore, Maryland. He attended the New England conservatory of music where he gave lessons to Harry Carney. He worked with King Oliver, Fletcher Henderson and many others. In 1952 he moved to Paris , from where he performed until his 95th birthday. John McDonough wrote in Down Beat, "Waters plays it straight down the middle with a sympathetic but contemporary rhythm section, and his strong, gritty-on-demand sound in all registers neither asks nor gives any quarter. His intonation and control are clear and hard as a rock as he twists notes with a raw lyricism. It's that sound more than his ideas that regularly carries his solos to a boil on track after track." In this tune Hot Antic Jazz Band consists of Michel Bastide on trombone, Jean Francois Bonnel trumpet, Gilles Berrut piano, Jean-Pierre Dubois banjo and Christian Lafevre tuba. </article> <article> <h1>Side effects of swine flu!!!</h1> <p>Thu, 18 Jun 2009 12:37:53 GMT</p> <p> <p></p><div>IS - Thank you for the advise.</div><div><br /></div><div>Don't let this happen to you - Wash your hands!!!!!!<br /> <br /> </div> </p> <p><a href="http://sigalon.posterous.com/side-effects-of-swine-flu">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://sigalon.posterous.com/side-effects-of-swine-flu#comment">Leave a comment »</a> </p> </article> <article> <h1>la fourmi</h1> <p>Wed, 17 Jun 2009 21:56:48 GMT</p> <p> <div class='downloadFlyout'> <div class="downloadIcon"><a href='http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/sigalon/Fexj23Zoe2zC7UbSSvXP38fBLwIaR8svz8ce2Zsuf9NuLxcJCeENfxBGtDnM/La_Fourmi.pps'></a></div> <div class="downloadlinkInstructions">Download now or <a href='http://sigalon.posterous.com/la-fourmi' style='color: #bc7134;'>preview on posterous</a></div> <b><a href='http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/sigalon/Fexj23Zoe2zC7UbSSvXP38fBLwIaR8svz8ce2Zsuf9NuLxcJCeENfxBGtDnM/La_Fourmi.pps'>La Fourmi.pps</a></b> <span class="downloadSize">(1216 KB)</span> <br class="clearboth"/></div> </p> <p><a href="http://sigalon.posterous.com/la-fourmi">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://sigalon.posterous.com/la-fourmi#comment">Leave a comment »</a> </p> </article> <article> <h1>Blondes</h1> <p>Tue, 16 Jun 2009 05:12:34 GMT</p> <p> <div class='downloadFlyout'> <div class="downloadIcon"><a href='http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/sigalon/Wz7Q7DDBrHwhrPImiBt2wlYfUhxHfluOZmha7dhqR7u6B3xQNEafU54d24Lz/blondes_barbara.pps'></a></div> <div class="downloadlinkInstructions">Download now or <a href='http://sigalon.posterous.com/blondes' style='color: #bc7134;'>preview on posterous</a></div> <b><a href='http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/sigalon/Wz7Q7DDBrHwhrPImiBt2wlYfUhxHfluOZmha7dhqR7u6B3xQNEafU54d24Lz/blondes_barbara.pps'>blondes barbara.pps</a></b> <span class="downloadSize">(633 KB)</span> <br class="clearboth"/></div> </p> <p><a href="http://sigalon.posterous.com/blondes">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://sigalon.posterous.com/blondes#comment">Leave a comment »</a> </p> </article> <article> <h1>Struggle within Iranian elite</h1> <p>Mon, 15 Jun 2009 07:25:20 GMT</p> More at http://therealnews.com/t/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=102 Pepe Escobar: Two camps locked in fierce struggle, as Revolutionary Guard stages a successful "coup" </article> <article> <h1>Pepe Escobar: Iran's green revolution</h1> <p>Thu, 11 Jun 2009 07:23:58 GMT</p> More at http://therealnews.com/t/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=102 "Red" Ahmadinejad may have met his match </article> <article> <h1>Sigalon asked us to send you this post from Engadget</h1> <p>Wed, 10 Jun 2009 05:31:32 GMT</p> <p> <p>From: <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a><br />URL: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/engadget-cruises-with-the-brammo-enertia-electric-motorcycle-wi/">http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/09/engadget-cruises-with-the-brammo-enertia-electric-motorcycle-wi/</a><br />Sent from: <a href="mailto:sigalon@gmail.com">Sigalon</a> (sigalon@gmail.com)<br />Sent to: <a href="mailto:post@posterous.com">post@posterous.com</a><br />Comments: </p><hr /><h1><a href="%PostURL">Engadget cruises with the Brammo Enertia electric motorcycle (with video!)</a></h1><h3>06-09-2009</h3><div align="center"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/08/engadget-cruises-with-the-brammo-enertia-electric-motorcycle-wi/"></a></div> <span style="float: right; margin-bottom: 16px; margin-left: 4px;"><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /><param name="width" value="600" /><param name="height" value="342" /><param name="playerID" value="10032373001" /><param name="publisherID" value="1612833736" /><param name="isVid" value="true" /><param name="autoStart" value="false" /><param name="@videoPlayer" value="25818441001" /><param name="overrideAds" value="true" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /> </param></param></param></param></param></param></param></param></param></param></object> <br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;">The ride</span><br /> <br />It's a bit of a shame that the range is so limited, as the bike is a far more welcoming chariot than the Zero S. That great looking seat isn't particularly wide, but it is plush and comfy, and the large pegs are in a forward position that leaves you upright and your knees extended. We were a little worried about them getting caught on a cobblestone when we were doing a little carving on the rough alley streets, but their comfort makes up for any lack of cornering clearance. It's a little bit cruiser compared to the competition's little bit moto. <br /> <br /> Sadly our test ride was again in the throes of NYC traffic, but we found a few back streets and alleys and even <span style="font-style: italic;">corners</span> to explore, and were happy with what we experienced. The suspension soaked up the roughest of bumps without launching us out of the seat, as mentioned above the brakes kept us safe, and a quick ! twist of the throttle left every other bike in our wake -- so long as it was pedal-powered, of course. <br /> <br /> The lack of power and torque makes the bike a much smoother experience than the slight jerkyness we experienced on the Zero. Here you're gently whisked away from a stop with no hesitation or lurching, and keeping up with traffic is no problem at all. Throttle response is good at any speed -- any speed under 50. <br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"></div> <br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Wrap-up</span><br /> <br />So, the natural question is: how does it compare to the Zero S? The answer depends on your priorities. At $11,995 to start (<span style="text-decoration: line-through;">$14,995 if you want the limited edition, carbon fiber-clad model</span>), there's a heftier premium to pay, and with half the power, a lower top speed, and a shorter range, the Enertia is not much of a value proposition. <br /> <br /> But, if you're just looking at the numbers, neither of these two come out on top when compared to something like a Kawasaki Ninja 250R, which can be had for about a third the price, easily best 60mpg, and run circles around the pair of them on a track. If you're buying an electric motorcycle you're looking for something different, something special, and the Enertia certainly feels special. From that <span style="font-style: italic;">almost </span>tacky but still cool power button on the tank, down over the minima! list fairing, and back to the chopped seat, it all fits together and fits well. <br /> <br /> Despite the lack of oomph we like the bike a lot, and while we can't say we relish the idea of letting a Geek Squad member diagnose potentially life-threatening technical issues, with any luck more reassuring service opportunities will present themselves in the near future. Bikes should <span style="font-style: italic;">finally</span> start showing up at select Best Buy stores on the West Coast in early July, while those who've already pre-ordered will be receiving shipments about the same time. So, you'd better get that deposit deposited if you want one before the riding season is over -- assuming of course you live somewhere that <span style="font-style: italic;">has </span>a riding season.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Update: </span>We heard from Craig Bramscher at Brammo who indicated that the carbon-clad limited edition is actually no longer available. So, that'! s one less choice to make. <br /><br /><span style="font-style! : italic ;">Many thanks to Chad Mumm from <a href="http://www.switched.com/2009/06/09/hands-on-review-brammo-enertia-electric-motorcycle-video/">Switched</a> for the great footage and stills. </span></span> </p> <p><a href="http://sigalon.posterous.com/sigalon-asked-us-to-send-you-this-post-from-e">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://sigalon.posterous.com/sigalon-asked-us-to-send-you-this-post-from-e#comment">Leave a comment »</a> </p> </article> <article> <h1>Airline baggage</h1> <p>Sat, 06 Jun 2009 15:21:40 GMT</p> <p> <div class='downloadFlyout'> <div class="downloadIcon"><a href='http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/sigalon/0e6xxjdR5LkuOChzshPyO6ejBkqBHGS3pRnilKjjO0Ltco9r8ZbeJr7xY2D4/BTU.wmv'></a></div> <div class="downloadlinkInstructions">Download now or <a href='http://sigalon.posterous.com/airline-baggage' style='color: #bc7134;'>watch on posterous</a></div> <b><a href='http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/sigalon/0e6xxjdR5LkuOChzshPyO6ejBkqBHGS3pRnilKjjO0Ltco9r8ZbeJr7xY2D4/BTU.wmv'>BTU.wmv</a></b> <span class="downloadSize">(6329 KB)</span> <br class="clearboth"/></div> <p><br /><br /></p><div><div bgcolor="#ffffff" vlink="blue" lang="EN-US" link="blue"><div><br /></div> <div> <p> </p></div></div></div> </p> <p><a href="http://sigalon.posterous.com/airline-baggage">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://sigalon.posterous.com/airline-baggage#comment">Leave a comment »</a> </p> </article> <article> <h1>Sand castles in Oregon</h1> <p>Fri, 29 May 2009 14:46:00 GMT</p> <p> <p> <div class='downloadFlyout'> <div class="downloadIcon"><a href='http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/sigalon/6SSEpoMCYtybK50DZ2cFw8V6HEGd0DlOgjfwYq7zozBbgFzE7qnbF8CSXkp4/Sand_Castles_Oregon.doc'></a></div> <div class="downloadlinkInstructions">Download now or <a href='http://sigalon.posterous.com/sand-castles-in-oregon' style='color: #bc7134;'>preview on posterous</a></div> <b><a href='http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/sigalon/6SSEpoMCYtybK50DZ2cFw8V6HEGd0DlOgjfwYq7zozBbgFzE7qnbF8CSXkp4/Sand_Castles_Oregon.doc'>Sand Castles Oregon.doc</a></b> <span class="downloadSize">(1177 KB)</span> <br class="clearboth"/></div> </p> <p><span style="color: #888888;"><span style="color: #000000;"><br /></span></span></p> </p> <p><a href="http://sigalon.posterous.com/sand-castles-in-oregon">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://sigalon.posterous.com/sand-castles-in-oregon#comment">Leave a comment »</a> </p> </article> <article> <h1>POLICE WARNING</h1> <p>Mon, 18 May 2009 08:36:47 GMT</p> <p> <a href='http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/sigalon/RQUdH0N6l3Vo2WiHikTC6mRYDd4gLosRHl7Jq1Bx017AmpdKZgDLzMfscDOD/POLICE_ALERT.jpg'></a> <p></p><div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b> Police Warning</b></span><br /> <br /> Watch Out For This Scam<br /> <br /> Police say that the gang usually is composed of four members, one adult and three younger ones.<br /> <br /> While the three younger ones, all appearing sweet and innocent, divert their 'mark' (or intended target) with a show of friendliness , the fourth - the eldest - sneaks in from behind the person's back to expertly rifle through his or her pockets and purses or bags for any valuables being carried.<br /> <br /> The picture attached shows the gang in operation<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> </div> </p> <p><a href="http://sigalon.posterous.com/police-warning">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://sigalon.posterous.com/police-warning#comment">Leave a comment »</a> </p> </article> <article> <h1>Sveriges första test av oled-tv! - IDG.se</h1> <p>Fri, 15 May 2009 18:08:02 GMT</p> <blockquote><p>Quoted: Det blev stor uppståndelse när tv:n anlände till redaktionen.

As we laid out last night, that is complete BS. But I think it’s worth revisiting a video we posted a few months back about the topic. It’s from 1981 (incidentally, the year I was born), showing that newspapers seemed to have some idea about what the future of their industry would be. </p><p>It’s a common misconception that newspapers are simply late to the Internet game. As this video shows, some of them (including some of the major ones now failing) have been thinking about this stuff for 28 years. That is a long, long time. Towards the end of the video, the local news reporter says, “the day will come when we get all our newspapers and magazines by home computer, but that’s a few years off.” And this was at a time when hilariously, it took 2 hours to receive an entire newspaper over the modems of the day, and it cost $5 an hour to transfer that data — at the time newspapers were $0.20.

A new study examined the effect of chondroitins 4 and 6 sulfate (CS) on OA progression and symptoms. CS, unlike other chondroitin sulfate products sold as dietary supplements in the U.S., has been approved as a prescription symptomatic slow acting drug for OA in many European countries. </article> <article> <h1>Link Between Parkinson's Disease Genes, Manganese Poisoning Found</h1> <p>Thu, 05 Feb 2009 22:36:46 GMT</p> A connection between genetic and environmental causes of Parkinson's disease has been discovered by a research team led by Aaron D. Gitler, PhD, Assistant Professor in the Department of Cell and Developmental Biology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. Gitler and colleagues found a genetic interaction between two Parkinson's disease genes (alpha-synuclein and PARK9) and determined that the PARK9 protein can protect cells from manganese poisoning, which is an environmental risk factor for a Parkinson's disease-like syndrome. The findings appear online this week in Nature Genetics. Manganism, or manganese poisoning, is prevalent in such occupations as mining, welding, and steel manufacturing. It is caused by exposure to excessive levels of the metal manganese, which attacks the central nervous system, producing motor and dementia symptoms that resemble Parkinson's disease. </article> <article> <h1>Democracy Now! | Sanders Votes No on Geithner: "[He's] More of a Part of the Problem...Than the Solution"</h1> <p>Wed, 28 Jan 2009 20:50:44 GMT</p> We speak with Sen.

These opinions were issued by the Office of Legal Counsel and advised the executive branch on the legality of a range of tactics in fighting the so-called “war on terror.” A few of these records have been made public, but many remain secret, including those relating to the Bush administration’s domestic surveillance program. The investigative website ProPublica has compiled the first public database of all that is currently known about these memos. </article> <article> <h1>Democracy Now! | Obama to Face Test on Executive Privilege After Rove Subpoenaed Again Over Attorney Firings, Siegelman Prosecution</h1> <p>Wed, 28 Jan 2009 20:17:04 GMT</p> The chair of the House Judiciary Committee, John Conyers, has subpoenaed former White House adviser Karl Rove to testify next week about the Bush administration’s firing of nine US attorneys and the prosecution of former Alabama governor Don Siegelman. Rove previously refused to appear before the panel, and former President Bush upheld his legal position. Rove’s attorney, Robert Luskin, said he would consult with President Obama’s White House counsel to determine the Obama administration’s stance.
