Why I can’t enter DSTWO menu?
A:by fr.r4-ds.net
1. Make sure use the correct OS version. There are two version of DSTWO, English version and Chinese version. English version hardware can only use English version OS.
2、Insert the TF card or DSTWO again, maybe this is poor contact problem.

Holidays in the Holy Land
Traveling. A style of living I’ve been exploring since I set off from
the outskirts of Philadelphia six months ago. I’ve been a long-term
guest, living out of a suitcase. I’ve settled into a home amongst
strangers and have made them family. I have traveled for extended
weekends in the same one set of clothing on trains, buses, and on foot
everywhere from the pebbly beaches of the Black Sea through the
snowstorm of a ski resort to the rain and mists of mountains almost
forgotten by time. But for the first time ever in my life, on the
reluctant edge of the holiday season, my friend Nathan and I shouldered
our backpacker’s packs and we set off to fly into a foreign country with
maybe plans, no reservations, and only a return ticket as a sense of
definition.
We had decided while we were in this part of the world, we should take advantage of our one-month holiday from school, so Nathan and I chose to travel through Israel and Jordan. The Lonely Planet was our best friend. Advice from other friends who had traveled through the region led us to expect time consuming, forceful security checks everywhere in Israel, and we weren’t disappointed. Stepping off the plane in Tel Aviv, immediately after walking through the corridor to the building, before even entering Passport Control or Customs, we were stopped by two security officers who aggressively questioned us: where are you from? What are you doing here? Who are you staying with? (ummm…some guy we met on couchsurfing who we’ve never met before, and I can’t remember where he lives right now, but if you give me a second I’ll look up his address in my book) We made it through a few rounds of questioning like this in the airport. I really think it helped that the guys we were going to stay with and meet were named Goldfarb and Kotel.
We landed in Tel Aviv, an incredibly modern, gritty in some places, city that reminded me instantly of New York. Crashed in a hostel, enjoyed the best latte and chocolate pastry in recent memory on the beach of the Mediterranean, and departed straight to Jerusalem, planning on spending some time in Tel Aviv before our return flight.
Israel is an incredibly small country. Driving from North to South is a chore of less than half a day through mountains and the lowest points on earth. It took us only about an hour and a half to reach Jerusalem. I spent the ride admiring the infrastructure. It was the first time I had seen such beautiful roads (I never thought I would describe charging highways of concrete as lovely) since departing the states. I once again understood how smooth a bus ride could be. But the Western wonders didn’t end there; people carrying coffee in the streets? Many women driving? Families sitting in parks as their children romp with dogs? Frisbee? Bicycles everywhere? Extreme racial diversity? I had not realized just how non-European Georgia felt until I stepped into a “westernized” country again. The change in culture was palpable. But I must say, Georgia still has more beautiful McDonalds than Israel. One point Tbilisi.
Landing in Jerusalem, we started our walk through what would soon
become familiar streets to the home of the man I had contacted on couch
surfing who had invited to let us stay for several days at his
apartment. He lived on the south side of the city, so Nathan and I
enjoyed quite a relaxing walk through an outdoor market, past many bagel
shops (I never got around to eating a bagel because food was so
expensive!!! We subsisted mainly on pita, hummus, and khalva bought from
grocery stores), and through a street protest. Our host lived in a
beautiful part of town; the sun was shinning on gardens in full bloom
and the most domestic feral cats were wandering the streets. We settled
in his living room, were generously given a key, and now had a home base
to operate from.
Alright, now the lead-up is finished, I will leap immediately into descriptions and stories to carry through the fortuitous encounters and happenstance meetings that were these beautiful three weeks.
A place, with women and men as its body and buildings as its memories, has a massively strong influence on all who enter it, whether they be citizens or visitors. Jerusalem retains its core, the Old City — with its 16th century walls and remnants of the Second Temple era lying under every layered street – insulated by a modern city all around, niched and cliqued into quite different neighborhoods: the ultra-orthodox live in semi-poverty, men walking the streets in their full regalia –long black coats, heeled shoes, side curls and cylindrical fur hats –past piles of trash in yards reminiscent of West Phily, young orthodox boys in sweaters and dress pants wrestling in the yards of schools; the Arabic-speaking population with lively markets and bars filled with smoke from the hookahs smoking men; American English from immigrants mixing with the scattered English of tourists on every walkway. A walk through a down-sloping park fills your vision with the spires of Churches, domes of synagogues, and minarets of mosques orienting the heavens above to rest upon this city on a hill. You enter the gates, and are almost crushed in the throng of tourists, stallsmen, faithful, and locals peddling and bargaining and cheating on the narrow stone streets. Market fronts hung with all bits of marketable nicks and nacks line each passageway in the covered winding maze. Here is where the city converges. Despite being quartered, the old city is the heart where each of these populations, scattered the world over, come to worship, come to tour, come to marvel and pray.
Nathan and I stood amoungst the chosen at the Western Wall at the beginning of the Shabat, the chanting and the praying immersing us as we paid our respects to this, the foundation of millennial hopes and supplications. The sun set, and the families reunited from their gender-separated prayers, and wove there way home. We climbed the Mount of Olives, and watched the lights of the city as the last call to prayer rang out.
Two things amazed me about this city; the Sabbath and the proximity of major sites. On that Saturday Nathan and I wandered through the deserted center streets; all public transportation ceases. Roads are closed off in the Orthodox areas. Most all shops rest as their owners respect a day of leisure, a day of family, a day for appreciating the busy week just had. The city slept as we footed our way through the churches marking many of the most important sites of Christianity. Within a thirty-minute hilly walk lie the Church of the Ascension, the Garden of Gethsemane, Mary’s tomb and location of her Assumption into Heaven, the Via Dolorosa (the way of the cross Christ walked to his Crucifixion), the location of the Last Super, and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre believed to contain Golgotha and the tomb of Christ. Hearing Bible stories throughout my American childhood, I believed the sites of these historic happenings to be quite far from each other. Walking the ancient streets where these events actually transpired, I was touched by a reality of the Bible I had never before imagined.
Jerusalem changes lives. Whether it’s the Jerusalem Syndrome (a documented psychological condition in which people become convinced they are the second coming), or, more typically, the sense of faith which permeates every community populating this crux of a city. Place, land, is more important than opinion, and all politics are birthed from the control of the land, holy to such diversities of faith groups. As a pilgrim on foot, carrying with me each day the beesewax candles to light and a list of names, living and passed, to pray for from my Georgian mother, it was impossible not to be alternated as a paced from Church to Church.

The kosher McDonalds were blue and called McDavids
The Orthodox currently are pushing to re-segregate buses based on gender. These people didn't want that.
I can't believe I missed my chance

The Home of Christmas (Holidays in the Holy Land Pt2)
This Christmas was unlike any I’ve ever had before. No presents. No
family. No Christmas Music unless I was singing it (and I must admit to a
little bit of Rudolph as I was walking the streets of Jerusalem).
My family sent me a video of Santa Claus and his elves…it was before I left for Israel. It showed elves working a machine to guess what presents children wanted for Christmas. I watched it with Nathan sitting beside me. After spending six months in this country, I couldn’t help but laugh. It’s focus on morality and material rewards both seem so foreign to me now. In this country, a child can commit the most serious offence, but as long as s/he were penitent, the family and community would accept her/him back instantly. Living in Gldani, a present maybe consisted of a token bought on the side of the street, but one was all that could be afforded. I was traveling with Nathan during the holiday season, and we did not bother with such extraneous symbols. We wished each other a happy holiday, gave toasts to what the day meant, and that was more than enough. This was the first Christmas that I felt completely satisfied…probably because I wasn’t expecting anything.
On Christmas Eve Nathan and I made our way to St. George’s Episcopal Cathedral in Jerusalem, wandering through the Orthodox and Arabic neighborhoods to find our way. Before we even left, Nathan had researched a place to celebrate a Christmas Eve Mass. While spending time at our couchsurfing host’s, we found on the interwebs that they were hosting a bus tour to the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem for a Lessons and Carol service, the first I had ever heard of. It was too late to register online, but we figured we’d stop by during the day of the 24th to see what was happening.
We found the church, stepped through the electronic gates a second before they closed, and then feared we were locked in. After a bit of wandering through the grounds and gardens, we doubled back to look inside the chapel (they were setting up for the service) and then found a priest. Nathan began to say that we had heard of the service online, and knew that the application date had passed, and in the middle of the build up to the question if they had any places left, the priest interrupted and said: “come on! Let’s do it.” He brought us into the office and we were written onto the bottom of the list. “You see, we always leave a few open spaces on the bus, just in case things like this happen,” he informed us. “Come back at seven, and we’ll be leaving.”
We returned at the appointed time to find many British, American, and
many other nationalities standing around waiting for the bus. We met
one Priest, who studied in Cambridge, who happened to know two
professors at Nathan’s Alma Matter. I met one neat young man named Phil
who was planning on studying aviation near Pittsburgh the following
year, so I told him to look me up. A nice group. Then we stepped on the
bus, and as we circulated Jerusalem for thirty minutes, Nathan and I
made “ak gamicheret!” jokes…
Finally, we made our way out of the city…and got stuck in traffic. It
was a short highway to the checkpoint in the wall separating Israel
proper and the West Bank of Palestine; once we got through, the world
changed. Christmas light, shop fronts run down but swamped with
customers and men sitting around laughing spilling into the streets. The
ran started.
By the time we reached the end of the main street, the rain was coming down in sheets. A smooth wind pulled it into our hats and boots. Some of the churchgoers had no protection against the sky’s gift as we made our way to Manger Square, the large square filled with year-long Christmas shops devoted to tourists and the Church of the Nativity. We found our place in line, the church not opening for us for another hour and a half, alongside a rigid row of Palestinian army men, equipped with AK-47s.
Nathan and I were quite equipped for such weather, used to traveling this time and adorning ourselves in wool and synthetics, but even so the rain started to soak in as the square was packed with people wanting to play with the tourists. At various points, the soldiers tried to move the crowd as motorcades of black SUVs roared through our line onto the main road. At this point, we realized that something else must be going on; there couldn’t be all of this security for the tourists wanting to see the church of the manger on Christmas Eve.
After a long hour or so, during which the group was separated and
reformed several times, we were allowed in. Part of what made this
entire process difficult were the Crusades. Originally, when the Church
was commissioned in 327AD (one of the oldest continuing functioning
church in the world), it had a magnificent stone doorway, but during the
following two Crusades, it was reduced in size twice to defend against
invaders. Currently, although both original outlines can still be seen,
on man must crouch to fit through. The perfect bottleneck situation.
We made our way through the main chapel, up some stairs, and out into
an interior courtyard with another humility dour leading into St.
George’s Chapel (St. George and the five patterned cross…constant themes
leading me to think of Georgia…). Half of us made our way in, including
Nathan, when we were told there was no more room until the delegation
came out. Uhhh, what?? It was at this point, me standing in the end of
the line with some of the ministers, rain pouring down, that I
discovered that this was a particularly special service. Not only was
the Anglican Archbishop of Jerusalem and the Middle East in attendance,
but so was the Patriarch of the Greek Orthodox Church in Jordan, the
crown princes of Belgium and Jordan, and the President of the
Palestinian Authority. Nathan was inside and heard the explanation of
the first reading, in which the Archbishop of Jerusalem dedicated the
church’s support to the peace process. Eventually, as I chatted with the
Jordanian and Palestinian Authority bodyguards, the delegation made
there way out. The Pres. of the PA was so close I could have easily
touched him. They made there way out of the door, stooping low as was
necessary for any man in this place, and we made our way in as the
service was started again.
This small group of the faithful, singing carols and listening to readings in an absolutely beautiful cathedral, adorned with ancient artifacts, listening to the Patriarch read in Greek, rain dripping off of us…surely, this was Christmas. Eventually, we began to make our way out after the service. I hung back, and saw in the original cathedral steps leading beneath the Alter. I broke off—this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was well worth the possibility of being left behind in the West Bank—and made may way down the ancient stone steps weaving between nuns praying rosaries and waiting for the magic hour, when Christ would be born again in the eternal mystery. And there it was, the star that marked the spot of the manger. Many tourists were lining up and taking pictures in front of it. That not being quite my style, I paid my respects, and walked out amoungst the faithful and the frivolous. I walked down the street away from the church and tried to find our buses; as I walked, I thought of the time of the year, where I had just been, and what it meant to so many who believed, and so many who wanted to see it because others believed.
We made it back to the church in Jerusalem, a bit late for the midnight service, but we had the priests with us. It was a beautiful service, and afterwards we stepped once more into the rain to head home, or rather, to a traveler’s home.
The day afterwards, my mom emailed me to ask if I had seen/ gotten caught up in the fight between Orthodox and Armenian Clerics at the Church. Luckily, I got to walk away with the impression of people of multiple faiths coming together to find their commonalities and a path to peace, especially in such a politically disputed area, and did not witness squabbling amoung men of the cloth.

← Older posts Life in Georgia: A Great Big Thumbs Up
I cannot believe that there are only 3 days of school left! Where
has the time gone? I will be coming back to America for a visit in a
week and a half! With so little time left, I have been recalling all of
the memories I have created here and I feel truly blessed for what an
amazing time it has been. Now don’t get me wrong, it was by no means
easy. There were hard times, frustrating conversations, and things that
were just flat out lost in translation, but overall these past five
months have been an incredible experience. I have learned so much about
Georgia both the country and its’ people, along with learning a lot
about myself.
….One thing, with regard to myself, that I have learned is that I give the ol’ thumbs up in a lot of my photos…….haha …..(and you thought I was going to get all heartfelt on you!) In reminiscing on my time here I have gone back through a lot of my photos and realized that I give the thumbs up quite frequently! ……hey it means I have had a good time!…….. It seems appropriate as a conclusion to my first five months here to give you a chance to see these marvels of photography as well! Haha! It also gives a nice summary. Enjoy!

Settling Into a Schedule at the Amazon Sustainability Project
The first day at the Amazon Sustainability Project in Peru is spent
doing a whole lot of nothing. We get to rest for the first day because
we have been traveling a lot over the past few days. I use this time to
wander around and explore. This place is really nice and looks just like
it does in the pictures. The staff here is also really nice and they
are quick to make me feel at home. The Peruvian staff doesn’t speak much
English so this provides a good chance for me to teach them some
English and for them to teach me some Spanish.
I’m so glad that I already have a small background in Spanish, this makes all of our interactions easier and they are very patient. The food here is all home cooked by a dedicated cook and his assistant, and they do a great job. I still can’t believe that I’m in the Amazon, its all so surreal. I never thought I would be living in the jungle, even if only for a month. Being in the jungle, we don’t have easy access to electricity or Internet. We get electricity and internet 4 days a week for a few hours. The Internet is very slow because we are in the jungle and we have a lot of people that want to use it. Without electricity we also don’t have hot water so all our showers are cold; that will be fun. Of course there’s no washing machine so it’ll be hand washing everything and hanging it out to dry, which will prove to be a challenge because it’s so humid here and still rains somewhat often, even though it’s the dry season.
We start the second day off with a nice long trail walk that takes around 2.5 hours and is around 3 miles. I easily make the walk but I get somewhat tired out for a bit on a few of the big hills and drink 1.5 liters of water. This forest is beautiful! This walk is really just to show us parts of the forest, inform us, and get us used to walking trails. We don’t do anything special on this walk other than check a few camera traps. The camera traps are set up to go off whenever something steps in front of the sensor. We pull out the cameras SD card and check it with my camera and end up seeing some cool animals.
We see pictures of jaguars, armadillos, deer, some giant bird, and a jaguarundi (a small predatory cat). As we walk, Andy, the project’s lead researcher and manager, points out different plants that we should know. We walk by this giant leaf cutter anthill that is maybe 4 feet tall and more than 6 feet in diameter. We see bullet ants, soldier ants, beautiful butterflies and moths, crickets, grasshoppers, poisonous caterpillars (all are here), some awesome birds, and Capuchin monkeys. This walk is a great way to start off the volunteer expedition in the jungle.
On the way back we stop by the Mirador, which has an amazing view of the river and the clay lick that the birds eat to either supplement their mineral content or neutralize toxins in their diet. When we get back to camp we just relax and talk until we go on another walk with Jaz, the assistant manager of the project. The only thing we see are squirrel monkeys, but I am perfectly happy to see these super cute monkeys. We also go to the swamp in a failed attempt to see some birds. When we get back to camp we just relax and talk for the rest of the day. I take my first cold shower today and lets just say that it’s bracing to say the least.
The third day we took a night walk in the forest. On our walk, we catch any frogs we find and put them in plastic bags with leaves to study the next day. We end up walking up a stream for quite a ways. By the end of the walk, my boots had been filled with water more than a few times and my legs were soaking wet, but the walk was awesome! We saw a lot of cicadas molting, large creepy looking spiders, a few cool frogs, lots of grasshoppers and crickets, sucker fish, freshwater shrimp, and more beautiful moths and butterflies. Most exciting of all was that Tom caught a caiman!! We were walking by and he managed to grab it on the third attempt. It was about 4 feet long and not happy to be caught. It was amazing. We all crowded around to touch him, awesome. Tom named him Big Al. This was definitely the highlight of the trip so far. We kept walking down the stream but were not sure when an exit to a trail would appear and were forced to turn back to make sure we got back to camp on time, otherwise a search party would be sent out. Pretty awesome for the third day. This gives me the chance to take my first cold shower in the dark, sweet…
The next morning was spent processing frogs that we caught the night before. This includes writing down where we caught it, what it was on and how high up it was, the Latin name of the species, taking its weight, measuring the snout to butt length, and the time that it was caught. The researchers use this data to study habitat, movement, what species are in the reserve, and to look for new species (they have found 3 new species so far and recorded many species previously not known to be in Manu). This is fun because I get to handle frogs again. The day was spent learning first aid techniques, which was perfect because it was raining all day and we couldn’t go out. We got through primary and secondary first aid information, and learned how to handle situations like someone choking, how to check a person that has injured themselves and is on the ground, CPR, how to tie bandages, splints, and slings, and how to treat a snake bite. We then got into pairs and were sent out while the group came up with a scenario. Each of the pairs then has to come back into the room and figure out how to handle the situation. We made this part a lot of fun. The lessons also come with videos and we read through a “dangers of the jungle” packet. This packet discusses venomous snakes and bugs, dangers of the job, common sense, illnesses and parasites, and storm protocol. Definitely some scary stuff in this packet. Even caterpillars can kill you here, jeez. Moral of the story, pay attention to the jungle or it will eat you.
Sundays are the off day for the camp and no one works. Very nice and relaxing. Everyone goes down to an offshoot of the river to swim and play games. After, we play soccer on a small field in the camp. Past that, we just chill and talk for the rest of the day. Its really nice just relaxing and getting to know the other volunteers.
I’m so glad that I already have a small background in Spanish, this makes all of our interactions easier and they are very patient. The food here is all home cooked by a dedicated cook and his assistant, and they do a great job. I still can’t believe that I’m in the Amazon, its all so surreal. I never thought I would be living in the jungle, even if only for a month. Being in the jungle, we don’t have easy access to electricity or Internet. We get electricity and internet 4 days a week for a few hours. The Internet is very slow because we are in the jungle and we have a lot of people that want to use it. Without electricity we also don’t have hot water so all our showers are cold; that will be fun. Of course there’s no washing machine so it’ll be hand washing everything and hanging it out to dry, which will prove to be a challenge because it’s so humid here and still rains somewhat often, even though it’s the dry season.
We start the second day off with a nice long trail walk that takes around 2.5 hours and is around 3 miles. I easily make the walk but I get somewhat tired out for a bit on a few of the big hills and drink 1.5 liters of water. This forest is beautiful! This walk is really just to show us parts of the forest, inform us, and get us used to walking trails. We don’t do anything special on this walk other than check a few camera traps. The camera traps are set up to go off whenever something steps in front of the sensor. We pull out the cameras SD card and check it with my camera and end up seeing some cool animals.
We see pictures of jaguars, armadillos, deer, some giant bird, and a jaguarundi (a small predatory cat). As we walk, Andy, the project’s lead researcher and manager, points out different plants that we should know. We walk by this giant leaf cutter anthill that is maybe 4 feet tall and more than 6 feet in diameter. We see bullet ants, soldier ants, beautiful butterflies and moths, crickets, grasshoppers, poisonous caterpillars (all are here), some awesome birds, and Capuchin monkeys. This walk is a great way to start off the volunteer expedition in the jungle.
On the way back we stop by the Mirador, which has an amazing view of the river and the clay lick that the birds eat to either supplement their mineral content or neutralize toxins in their diet. When we get back to camp we just relax and talk until we go on another walk with Jaz, the assistant manager of the project. The only thing we see are squirrel monkeys, but I am perfectly happy to see these super cute monkeys. We also go to the swamp in a failed attempt to see some birds. When we get back to camp we just relax and talk for the rest of the day. I take my first cold shower today and lets just say that it’s bracing to say the least.
The third day we took a night walk in the forest. On our walk, we catch any frogs we find and put them in plastic bags with leaves to study the next day. We end up walking up a stream for quite a ways. By the end of the walk, my boots had been filled with water more than a few times and my legs were soaking wet, but the walk was awesome! We saw a lot of cicadas molting, large creepy looking spiders, a few cool frogs, lots of grasshoppers and crickets, sucker fish, freshwater shrimp, and more beautiful moths and butterflies. Most exciting of all was that Tom caught a caiman!! We were walking by and he managed to grab it on the third attempt. It was about 4 feet long and not happy to be caught. It was amazing. We all crowded around to touch him, awesome. Tom named him Big Al. This was definitely the highlight of the trip so far. We kept walking down the stream but were not sure when an exit to a trail would appear and were forced to turn back to make sure we got back to camp on time, otherwise a search party would be sent out. Pretty awesome for the third day. This gives me the chance to take my first cold shower in the dark, sweet…

Why Teaching in Georgia is not like Teaching in the States…
…and why I love it.
Tuesday morning. I wake up in yesterdays clothes because it is too cold to take off any layers before sleeping–undershirt, dress shirt, sweater that hasn’t been washed since arriving because I don’t have enough sweaters to afford letting it air dry for five days, and jeans I have been wearing for a week. It’s a frost on your skin kind of morning. I look in the mirror and think, “well, these’ll do again for the day,” and I walk out the door, faithful briefcase from goodwill in the states slung across my back.
I set off on my dirt path to school. Instead of just droppings lying across my way, the heard of cows is lying across my path this morning. I have to climb up the hill through the brush to continue forward. The nieghborhood’s stray dogs bark and follow me to school as I pass my children shouting “Hello Mr. Cass!!!” and enter the school.
After first period, a teacher comes up to me and asks if I’m staying after school for the party. “What party?” She didn’t know, but she told me there would be cake, so I had to stay. I wasn’t quite in the mood, seeing as I had a private tutoring lesson in the evening, so I gave her the typical Georgian line “oh I am so sorry, but I cannot tonight. I have business.” The teacher was distraught. She ran off to another group of teachers, animatedly chatted, and in a few minutes my English coteacher Natia came over to me and handed me a cup of sugary, sugary instant coffee, in one of the three communal cups we all use for water and coffee and never wash. “Cass, you must stay for the party. We’re having cake!” “Natia, what is it even a party for?” “Umm, I don’t know.” The bell rings, and we go to class.
After a great class of “What is it? Is it a boat? Nooooooo. It isnut (Georgian pronunciation of “isn’t”) e boat. Itz e doll,” I head back to the teachers’ lounge. One of our Georgian teachers confronts me. “Cass, you must stay for the party, even for a short time.” “What is it a party for Manana?” “For grandchild.” “Oh! Does someone have a new grandchild?” “No.”
After third period, I get shepherded into the assistant director’s room. There are the sad remains of a torte and champagne. Natia and I sit down to enjoy our compulsory share and give toasts to our fellow teachers. Ok, so I’m happy because I’ve satisfied my obligation and my teachers are happy that I’ve eaten the cake with them. I go, teach my remaining two lessons, and get ready to leave the school.
After the last lesson, a teacher grabs me and says “let’s go to the party!” “I’ve already had some of the cake, I really can’t eat anymore,” I excuse myself. “No, no. There is a different cake.” I’m really confused, and she leads me to a room I have never been in before, our school’s biology room, strewn with plants, anatomical dummies, and student-made posters dedicated to motherhood. The beginnings of a supra are laid, and I am told the cake and chicken are coming. Here I at last find out that we are having a party for the grandmothers in our staff in general. The teachers wanted to have a party, so their planning went something like this; We should have a party! Ok, what for? I don’t know, what to we all have in common? Well…we’re all grandmothers, aren’t we? Yeah! Let’s have a party in honor of our grandmothers and grandchildren! Great! I’ll bring the cake tomorrow!
And so we had a party.
Natia jokingly said, “Cass, we should call it the ‘Grand Party’.” I loved it, and so wrote it around the beautiful flower drawn on the board. I open the champagne for the teachers (a strange simple secret delight of mine, along with pouring liquids from great heights and having milk-crate bookshelves) as the teachers shout with each pop ‘vaiiime!’ The only other male classroom teacher in the school (besides the two athletic teachers) pours me some of his homemade cognac after the champagne runs out. Rough stuff. The mandatorebi, our school’s security, and the directors stop by and make toasts. Up till this point, I had not had much communication with many of the teachers. I give stumbling toasts in Georgian, and since then they love me even more. Especially the other male teacher, who didn’t talk to me much before the party.
The cake comes, we eat, we drink from not enough plastic cups, passing them back and forth with each other, and then separate for the day. I call and cancel my private lesson for the day.
The dogs chase me back home. I am sincere when I say I could not love my work and fellow teachers any more than I do.

What we’ll see at the SSG – Aga Khan Palace – Gandhi National Memorial
Aga Khan Palace
The Aga Khan Palace was constructed by Sir Sultan Muhammed Shah Aga Khan III, in the year 1892. Built in Yerwada, near Pune, it was intended to be a source of employment for the famine-struck villagers in the surrounding areas. Prince Shah Karim al-Hussayni Aga Khan IV, successor to and grandson of Sir Sultan Muhammad Shah Aga Khan III, donated the palace to the Government of India in 1969, in memory of Mahatma Gandhi and his philosophy.
The Aga Khan Palace is also known as the Gandhi National Memorial because of its close association with Mahatma Gandhi, who was kept at this palace under house arrest in the 1940s. His wife, Kasturba Gandhi, and his long-time aide, Mahadev Desai, both died of dysentery while under house arrest in this palace, and their samadhis (memorials) were built here by Charles Correa. A museum inside the palace complex has a rich collection of pictures and photographs of the important incidents in his life. There is also a wide assortment of his personal items, including utensils, clothes, mala, chappals (slippers), a letter written by Gandhi on the death of his secretary, and so on. A small amount of Gandhi’s ashes are kept here as well.
Aga Khan Palace is in Kalyani Nagar, Pune
This palace was one of the filming locations of Richard Attenborough’s biopic of Gandhi, Gandhi. Since 1980, the museum, samadhis and campus of the Aga Khan Palace has been managed by the Gandhi Memorial Society. Exhibitions are held at the palace on a regular basis to showcase the life and career of Mahatma Gandhi.
This palace also is the headquarter of Gandhi National Memorial Society.
India the beautiful
I’ve been in India for 5 days now and am having a great time.
Arriving in Pune on Jan 20 at 4 in the morning, we were greeted by very
friendly taxi drivers who offered us fruit drinks and water as we were
driven back to the hotel. I got back took a nap and met with some ssg
folks for lunch. Michelle Santee and I decided to go for a small tour
of Pune. The travel desk 
arranged a tour of the fort and a museum in Pune called the Kelker museum.
Unfortunatley, the fort was closed(there was some sort of police issue) so we stopped by the Ganesh temple. This temple is awesome. It’s in the middle of the city, on this small street with hundreds of people and cars wizzing by. Michelle and I got out for a few minutes to take some pictures. It was an experience.
We then headed for the Kelker museum which has some beautiful artifacts. Some of my favorite things – I have created a photo gallery at the top of the page. There are some great puppets and the picture of the interior of the museum which was a palace built for the wife of the owner of the museum (Ithink). My travel companion Michelle is also there and an old wood cabinet.
ok, off to dinner.

The Empire strikes back.
I had a session attacking brambles this
weekend: I need to get at the fallen pear tree to start cutting it over
winter, and the prickly empire of doom was not only taking over our
garden but also encroaching over the fence and our neighbour wasn’t
happy. I tried to point out the advantages of blackcurrant jam for life
but he didn’t seem convinced, so I got out the new scythe. I really need
to figure out a new way to sort the brambles out or at least keep them
to resspectable levels, and I have a horrible feeling the only effective
thing will be putting something toxic on them: the only organic
solution I’ve heard of is keeping goats on the land, which would require
security fencing and possibly minefields: they only have to get into
the neighbours garden once. A long term solution may be to grow trees on
the steep parts of the hill to shade the brambles out, so wherever I
came across an ash tree I cleared the brambles away in the hope it
grows.
The area you can see took about two hours
to cut and which a tenth of the total. I discovered several quite large
saplings while doing this. Having brambles higher than the trees is
probably a bad sign in terms of weed control.

The Wrong Trousers
I’ve discovered that learning to be a
carpenter makes me part of a tribe. The college where I’m learning the
basics of carpentry (Try not to cut your finger off, etc) teaches other
skills as well, so when we emerge from our workshop pulling sawdust out
of our ears, we’re suddenly surrounded by people learning interior
decoration, housebuilding, car repair, and half a dozen other things,
all standing in little tribal groups.
You can tell what everyone is learning
because every tribe has a different colour of trousers. The decorators
have white, or a base of white at least, with all manner of colours on
top, The car mechanics wear blue, the electricians have grey; and the
very strange people learning house building favour traditional black
corduroy. We all lurk in ‘our’ part of the campus every day as if
someone had marked out territory boundaries with paint.
We don’t have this in the UK: probably
because people change career much more frequently, and because courses
in most trades last a matter of months rather than years. In Germany I’m
not permitted to call myself a ‘carpenter’ until 2015 when I
(hopefully) pass the exam and I’m entered on the register of craft
persons. The same applies to the people learning to fix cars or paint
houses: everyone has to have an apprenticeship lasting a minimum of two
years, and the expectation is that they will keep working in their trade
for their entire career, and in some cases for the same employer.
Most carpenters here wear khaki, the
better for hiding sawdust, except for the occasional rebels and one Brit
who failed to appreciate the significance of this and turned up wearing
grey.
Not that that’s important of course: I
certainly did not just order a pair of Khaki trousers because I want it
to be obvious that I’m learning to be a carpenter and not an electrician.
I needed a new pair of trousers anyway.
I hope that is understood.

That commuting thing…
I’ve been a commuter for a month now. Not
a proper ‘fight against early morning drivers to claim back the road
from motor vehicles’ commuter, more a sort of ‘ride blearily through the
fields to the next village and abandon the bike for a bus’ commuter. I
only have a few hundred metres of road where there’s traffic and at half
past six in the morning there isn’t even that much of it.
I’ve even managed to find some decent
covered cycle racks (ie, not wheel eaters) which are pretty safe. I know
this because the old peoples home next door has used them as to stack
several new rolls of linoleum for a couple of weeks.
Normally I leave home at leave home at
about 0615 which gives me plenty of time to get everything ready,
discover something is missing, panic, run about the house trying to
search quietly so I don’t wake up Beautiful Wife, wake Beautiful Wife,
look for the missing item where she has told me to look , find it, pack
my bag and leave, and ride over the fields at a reasonable speed catch
the bus at 0635. The strange thing is, if I happen to be late (ie. When
I’ve lost something and Beautiful Wife isn’t able to guide me to it), no
matter how hard I ride, it still takes me five minutes longer to ride
the same distance.

New (child) Labour
So there I was fretting about how to clear brambles from around the fallen pear tree,
when Eldest Son solved the problem for me by inviting his friends
around for the last few weekends. His friends mostly live in apartments
or houses with carefully manicured suburban gardens, and spent Saturday
climbing on the fallen tree, using dangerous things like garden shears
to hack the brambles down and discovered an apple tree in the middle we
never got near before. This was denuded of all fruit and a pack of happy
boys were delivered home at dusk, a bit muddy, but ready for bed and
with all the apples they could carry.
The fallen tree is now a ‘spaceship’ so I have to wait until the mission is completed before cutting the branches back.
(Update: one of the lads just appeared with two bottle of apple sauce made from our apples. I could get used to this system…)
Seeds of change
Not being a spreadsheet minded
person I can’t give the full, in depth, results of the garden, but I
can report that although the carrots came out interesting shapes and
most of the Kohlrabi turned out like cannonballs in taste and texture,
we won’t ever be short of aubergines this winter. The potatoes did
pretty well too: Being of a lazy disposition, I’d planted them in the
‘no dig’ beds in the hope that they would break the soil down nicely and
for once my cunning plan worked. The resulting spuddies tasted good as
well, so next year I’ll be getting a few more kilos*, and use them to
break down the beds where the courgettes and pumpkins clobbered the
weeds this year. Collecting the order from the farmers shop will involve
climbing up the Hill of Doom with bike full of seed potatoes, which I
suspect will generate a blog entry in itself.
The other goal of the year was to start
collecting seeds, so to this end I deliberately avoided F1 varieties
(cross bred plants which are meant to combine the best properties of
both previous plants) as apparently the advantages don’t last to the
next generation, and last week I started drying out the seeds while I
still can and getting them ready to store for next year. This is my
excuse for why several lettuces and most of the spinach have bolted:
it’s so I can collect the seeds, honest, not because I was in the UK and
then too sloppy to harvest the things.
The flip side of this cunning plan is of
course that I can only collect seeds from what grew well, so if I want
any French beans, basil, or tomatoes, I’ll have to order them, whereas I
have enough seeds to grow more yellow courgettes than any right
thinking person would ever want…
*Obviously I can’t remember what variety they are. What do you take me for, a proper gardener?
Behaviors and regulations
Testimony I was told by the Official University of Coimbra, the
goat, on the recent drafting and approval of Disciplinary Regulations
by Portuguese universities.
1. Agrees with the existence of Disciplinary Regulations in Higher Education?
My agreement is relative so I explain below. These regulations stem from the asserted need to address the real problems: in recent years, both teachers and students, have identified and reported, with the appropriate instances, problematic behavior on the part of some students in both academic context more generally as room class, as well as various types of fraud in the work that you are asked. Are manifestations that are believed to have become progressively more frequent and severe. Thus, for, at first, reducing its occurrence and / or to discourage justified typifies them up and legitimize sanctions. But a disciplinary regulation, by itself, does not educate or liability. And I need to do something else with students coming to higher level of education, even so it is not necessary to resort to these regulations. I understand that what has to be done by schools and by all of his teachers, is a deliberate and systematic work in terms of allocation of value to knowledge, attention to others, curiosity and intellectual honesty. Dir will that the university is not the place to do this work, that students should already have purchased before, on primary and secondary education, this sensitivity. We can say that there is some reason in this, but there are two aspects to consider: first, you must realize that this job is always open, can not just give up on, should be taken at all levels of schooling and on the other hand, the education systems are not adequately preparing students to the levels I mentioned, very little reach university prepared to develop independent learning and responsible. 2. Are other educational levels that are below the top that are failing? All levels of education are failing in some respects. The same for schools and for teachers. But this has much to do with the social context in which we operate. You need to think a little about it, where are we fail we need for a disciplinary higher education. 3. Believes the disciplinary regulations will be properly applied? me not the answer. I realize that there is a commitment of Dean of Faculties and I know to enhance learning and attitude of the students. So, I assume that the regulation will be taken as a reference. 4. You know an episode that could have been the subject of disciplinary action? Tomei knowledge of several episodes. Troop most relevant in three points: aggressive behaviors related to academic practice, academic fraud with various embodiments; disruption of classes that prevent the normal course of teaching and hence learning. But I must say that many of the episodes that I learned reveal something more worrisome than the episodes themselves: the protagonists do not show consciousness of social rules that guide individual freedom and, in sequence, not realizing that their behavior is inconsistent with these rules. 5. The University of Coimbra has to have the only document approved. Did you know that one of the warnings may lead to disqualification from the university for 5 years? Li regulation but took no attention to the punishments provided. I imagine that could identify students’ behavior so serious that justify this kind of penalty.

Li regulation but took no attention to the punishments provided. I imagine that could identify students’ behavior so serious that justify this kind of penalty.

The Fear Of Motherhood
We are all in exile from something in our lives, particularly from
the past and we especially feel this when we are preparing for a
dramatic change in our lives.
I am now 30 weeks pregnant and although I am so very excited to finally meet my baby after what feels like so long, I also feel a little bereft. I have enjoyed the time that I have had on my own while being signed off work and have thoroughly enjoyed using that time to work more on my writing. Already I know I will miss this time and I have tried my best to not take a single moment for granted.
What
is more intimidating now is that my life is completely changing and
permanently changing. When I got married, it was not such a
re-adjustment in my life as I never really led the traditional single
life. However, soon I will no longer have my own life. As a mother my
life will be forever intertwined with someone else’s. I have enjoyed
caring for my niece and nephews. However during the midnight feeds and
the incessant crying, the rocking to sleep I always knew it was for a
short period and in effect I can hand the child over and return to my
life. Soon I will be unable to do that. For me that
is extremely daunting. Will I be good enough? Will I
know instinctively when my baby needs me? Not only that, but my body has
and is still changing so much, even though I was never particularly
‘body proud’ prior to my pregnancy. I’m proud of my pregnancy bump but
the thought of my body no longer belonging to me alone is not something I
have been able to easily comprehend.
I
have never been ambitious in terms of a career and always felt my
career would develop once I had children. This belief became
increasingly prevalent as I embarked on a number of jobs that were
primarily to assist me to reach my goal of a family life and not any
vocational advancements. On top of becoming a mother for the first time,
I am now thinking of where I want my career to take me. I know I want
to progress more with my writing and of course to be published would be
my ultimate goal. However, I have a family to take care of, there are
never-ending bills to pay so I will need a day job while I continue to
pursue my dream.
How many dreams can one person chase? Motherhood vs a career. My dream is to be a mother and I believe being a parent is the most important, demanding, frightening and exciting job there is. The most unnerving aspect is there is no job description or person specification to follow. It is very much learning on the job.
I have absolutely loved being pregnant, I can genuinely say I have loved every single moment. Despite the effects of Thalassemia I know that it is all worthwhile. I can not understand why people have felt sorry for me due to the complications; even though I am scared to venture out on my own and scared of even driving in case I faint or become too dizzy. As I sit here now, the room is spinning and although I have had to learn a different breathing technique to help me become less breathless, I have enjoyed every kick from the baby; every ache; every pain. Motherhood is most definitely a labour of love. I understand that now.
So although my life will never be the same again that is not necessarily a bad thing. My purpose in life will soon be tangible and soon enough I will be most likely sitting here writing another blog post wishing for these days back again. If motherhood is really learning on the job, the first lesson I’ve learnt is to appreciate the time I have because it will be over before I know it.
It’s important to not miss where we have been but to look forward to where we are going.

I, Too, Hate How I Look in Pictures
I want to show you a photo my brother posted on Facebook this morning.
It is impossible for words to express how much I adore this picture, which mush have been taken this summer, if only because the ROTC has taken my oldest nephew’s hair since school started. I like to think about how my brother’s great grandchildren might look at this picture, should they find it, fifty or sixty years from now. I mean, I think of it in comparison to the photos I have of my great grandparents, with only Teckla smiling, the rest looking so damn dour.
And I hope they appreciate the strain of silliness in our family. I hope they look at this picture and imagine that we were ridiculous and playful and, for all our bullshit, beautiful.
This is why I’m trying to be better about having my picture taken, which I hate. Because the people who love you have a.. right may be too strong a word… let’s say the people who love you have a claim worth honoring to mementos of the people they love, even if you are a woman who’s looking more and more like a grouchy German man.
I want old people to be able to point to pictures of me and say “That was my dad’s Aunt Betsy. That must be where you got your curly hair, your love of writing, your fascination with ghost stories.” Or just “That was Aunt Betsy.” Just that is fine. Let me be some familiar stranger with a friendly smile.
And let them delight that we were alive once and silly, you know?

Houdini
Greg may yet have to have a name change.
A few days ago I left him shut in the downstairs loo/cloakroom, where he usually stays at night – that is until his inoculations have been completed and he has had his little snip, since we don’t want to be involved in any paternity suits. For the moment, therefore he should be an indoor kitten. On this occasion he did not have free run of the house while I was out during the day, because there has been a decorator sanding down the outside window frames.
When I arrived home the door to the cloakroom was shut: but when I opened it the kitten was not there. I opened the back door and called and he soon came in. I assumed the decorator had let him out.
The next morning I spoke to the decorator… no, he hadn’t been in the cloakroom, hadn’t seen the kitten and certainly hadn’t let him out.
That evening I saw him (the kitten, not the decorator) attempting an escape from the bathroom window. I caught him as he heaved himself up the window pane to the little opening window at the top… I don’t like to think what would have happened if he had achieved this feat as it is a long drop from there!
Anyhoo, we left him shut in again, overnight in the cloakroom, with the little top window just a little open, to allow free gaseous exchange. (As anyone who has had a kitten will attest there’s a lot of smell for one small cat, whatever expensive litter is in use, and said litter does not ‘lock in odours’ what ever it says on the packet.)
It’s very pleasant in the cloakroom: lots of boots and shoes to explore, and laces to chew, a few toys to kill, a window sill full of interesting trinkets, kitten food and drink, a litter tray and one of those hanging cat cradles, suspended from the radiator with a snuggly blanket for comfort.
In the morning he had gone. The little window had swung shut… I presume he pushed himself through and knocked the strut which holds the window open. So he couldn’t have pushed his way back in, even if he had wanted to.
Who me?

Who me?
So here is Gregory Houdini, all innocent and
comfortable, but he won’t look me in the eye. Since that last outdoor
foray his intestinal motility has increased drastically. Not sure what
he ate, but there seems to be a lot of it.
PS. The real Houdini used a hidden trap door in his acts.
It was just a stage he was going through.
