<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Przepraszam Was za dzisiejszą nieaktywność. Wiem o czym miałem napisać, co poskanować, ale nie dam rady. Oglądałem sobie razem z tatą video z <a href="http://jesien.linux.org.pl/2007/">5. Jesieni Linuksowej,</a> no i zapomniałem o Was, Czytelnicy. No ale chyba nie jesteście źli, co nie? :D</p>
<p>Zapraszam też do zobaczenia stronki <a href="http://jesien.linux.org.pl/2008/">6. Jesieni.</a> Zwłaszcza dlatego, że było tam <a href="http://jesien.linux.org.pl/2008/wyklad_michuk.html">przemówienie Michuka.</a></p>
<p>Poza tym muszę uczyć się na sprawdzian z Elektrotechniki. Całe szczęście, że dowiedziałem się o nim dziś, a nie jutro. Bo on jest jutro. Chociaż... Wiecie, że nauczyłem się Małego Katechizmu w jeden dzień, tzn. od rana w autobanie do lekcji religii i dostałem 5+? Chyba nie jestem aż taki kiepski, jak to mam w zwyczaju o sobie myśleć. Hmm.... A z tym Małym Katechizmem nie było tak łatwo, wiecie o tym, jeśli znacie mnie z podejścia antyteistycznego.</p>
<p>Nieważne.</p>
<p>Elektrotechnika jest ciężka. Dostanę 1 :D</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Witam wszystkich rodziców podróżujących z dziećmi, to z myśla o Was zaczynam pisanie tego bloga.<br />
Chciałabym, aby podróże z naszymi maluchami były jak najmniej uciążliwe, a zarazem coraz częstsze.<br />
Postaram sie podsunąć młodym rodzicom wiele pomysłów na podróże - zarówno dokąd jeździć z dziećmi, jak i co w taką podróż zabrać.<br />
Wydawać by się mogło że taka wycieczka z dzieciakiem to pestka, ale wbrew pozorom jest to dla rodziców wyzwanie, więc serdecznie zapraszam do lektury.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Nürnberg &amp; Fürth: SPD klarer Sieger, CSU mit enormen Verlusten
Die amtierenden Bürgermeister ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>Nürnberg &#38; Fürth: SPD klarer Sieger, CSU mit enormen Verlusten</b></p>
<p>Die amtierenden Bürgermeister der SPD in Nürnberg und Fürth konnten am Sonntag Rekordergebnisse erzielen. OB Maly wurde mit 64,3 %, OB Jung sogar mit 80,1% wieder gewählt. Im Nürnberger Stadtrat konnte die SPD ihr Ergebnis von vor 6 Jahren um 3,7% verbessern und 43,2% der Stimmen auf sich vereinigen. Die CSU verlor 11,6% und landete bei 32%. Damit löst die Maly-Truppe die CSU als stärkste Fraktion ab. OB Maly möchte die große Koalition aus SPD, CSU und Grünen weiterführen, doch die CSU lehnt das Angebot bisher ab. Rot-Grün hat im Stadtrat nun eine eigene Mehrheit.</p>
<p><b>Bayernweit</b></p>
<p>Die CSU verarbeitet derzeit das schlechteste Kommunalwahlergebnis seit 40 Jahren. Die Partei verlor 4% und liegt damit bei ca. 40%. Nachdem zunächst das schlechte Wetter am Sonntag verantwortlich gemacht wurde, hat inzwischen das extreme bayerische Nichtraucherschutzgesetz den Schwarzen Peter. Die Raucher hätten die CSU abgestraft, meint etwa Günther Beckstein, und kündigt Nachbesserungen am Gesetz an. So sollen die Regelungen zu Bierzelten und Raucherclubs <a href="http://www.nn-online.de/artikel.asp?art=780750&#38;kat=27&#38;man=3" target="_blank">eventuell liberalisiert</a> werden. Beide Argumentationen sind schwer nachzuvollziehen: warum sollte das Wetter nur die CSU-Wähler vom Urnengang abgehalten haben? Und warum wurden SPD und Grüne, die das Nichtraucherschutzgesetz mitgetragen haben, nicht ebenfalls abgestraft?</p>
<p>Die SPD mußte, trotz der Erfolge in München und Nürnberg, bayernweit ebenfalls Verluste von insgesamt 2% hinnehmen und kommt auf 22% der Wählerstimmen.</p>
<p><b>Andere Parteien im Stadtrat</b></p>
<p>Im Nürnberger Stadtrat sind neben SPD &#38; CSU weiterhin die Grünen mit 5, Die Guten mit einem und die FDP mit 2 Mandaten vertreten. Die Linke schaffte auf Anhieb den Sprung ins Kommunalparlament mit 3 Sitzen. Neu dabei ist ebenfalls die ÖDP mit einem Stadtrat.</p>
<p><b>Neonazis legen leicht zu</b></p>
<p>Die <a href="http://www.br-online.de/bayern-heute/artikel/0711/22-buergerinitiative-auslaender/index.xml" target="_blank">NPD-Liste</a> "<a href="http://www.hagalil.com/01/de/Antisemitismus.php?itemid=1706" target="_blank">Bürgerinitiative Ausländerstopp</a>" konnte ihr Ergebnis um 1% verbessern und erhielt 3,3% der Stimmen. Damit sind die Rechtsradikalen mit 2 Sitzen (bisher 1 Sitz) im Stadtrat präsent.  Die Republikaner verloren ihr einziges Mandat. Insgesamt konnten die rechtsextremen Parteien ihr Wahlergebnis um 0,6% verbessern. Die besten Ergebnisse heimsten die Rechten in Gibitzenhof, Tafelhof, Sündersbühl und an der <a href="http://www.nz-online.de/artikel.asp?art=781220&#38;kat=11" target="_blank">Hohen Marter</a> in Schweinau ein. <a href="http://www.nn-online.de/artikel.asp?art=780832&#38;kat=10" target="_blank">Dort lagen sie bei bis zu 10%</a>. Im Wahlkampf hatte sich die BIA durch Hetze gegen Migranten und "den Islam" hervorgetan. Attacken gegen "das System Maly" durften ebenfalls nicht fehlen.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font COLOR="#000000">Dawno temu, kiedy chodziłem do podstawówki w łatwy i szybki sposób potrafiłem rozróżnić, kto ile ma lat i do jakiej klasy chodzi – oczywiście były to takie obliczenia „na oko” – związane ze wzrostem danej osoby...<br />
Podział był prosty – ci najmniejsi w tym ja (najmniejsi na tamten czas...) – To odpowiednio pierwsza – trzecia klasa, ci wyżsi to czwarta-szósta, a ci najwyżsi to siódma i ósma klasa. I były to podziały w pełni uzasadnione, bo te kilka lat temu tak właśnie wyglądali ludzie.<!--more--></p>
<p>Przeskok do gimnazjum, (bo po drodze zmienił się system szkolnictwa...).<br />
O ile jeszcze mój rocznik pasował do moich podziałów – tzn. osoby wzrostem pasowały do wieku, to z roku na rok młodsze klasy były coraz niższe wzrostem...<br />
I tak ci z pierwszej gimnazjum wyglądali tak jakby żywcem wyjęto ich z 4 klasy podstawówki. No, ale nic, jakoś mnie to nie ruszało....</p>
<p>Jestem w 3 klasie technikum, od czasu do czasu gimnazjum ma lekcje w budynku technikum – to, co widzę jest nie tyle szokujące, co dziwne i zastanawiające.<br />
Czy społeczeństwo z roku na rok kurczy się?<br />
Oglądając tych maluchów mam wrażenie, że są grupką dzieciaków z podstawówki, którzy przypadkowo znaleźli się w budynku technikum...</p>
<p>Może mi się zdaje, ale wątpię...Kiedyś było tak, że dzieci były niskie, starsze dzieci były już średniego wzrostu, a młodzież była po prostu wysoka – oczywiście, w każdej grupie znalazła się osoba, która albo odbiegała wzrostem w górę albo w dół, – ale było to normalne. Teraz jest tak, że osoby młodsze rocznikowo ode mnie są lub stają się coraz niższe. Z roku na rok te dzieciaki są coraz mniejsze. Jeszcze z 3-4 lata i uwierzę w krasnoludki...</p>
<p>Bo to, co się dzieje jest nienormalne...</p>

Wydarcie Nickiemu zwycięstwa, a dodatkowo sprezentowanie Kasprzakowi drugiego miejsca - to było niesamowite (równie bardzo jak wtedy, gdy pojechał po bandzie - nie pod nią, koło, ale po niej), to było COŚ.<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Something I had promised myself since the exams:  Having no worries and relaxing with a book sounds easy, but it hasn't been like that for some reason.  I guess you cant teach an old dog new tricks.  Or can you?  Well, I've been trying but the old ghosts don't completely leave.  I'll continue to fight it though...stay open and airy, not close an stale.  At any rate, some of the promise was fulfilled.  The ghosts didn't battle, they just seemed to dissipate.  It gets easier.</p>
<p>I've enjoyed Tanah Rata: Stayed at <a href="http://www.hostelz.com/hostel/21418-Father's-Guesthouse" title="fathers guest house" target="_blank">Father's Hostel</a> on the hill, ate a lazy steamboat, did some trekking, met a cool comedian bloke called Wade, an English girl called Dawn, and Australian girl called Elle and her friend Olay and two Swedish girls who saved my bag.</p>
<p>Got a bit homesick but I must keep my promise.  Carpe Diem.  I wont lose.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Steep, sweaty, out of breath and hot.  Narrow path ever up, roots form natural steps.  Foot-holes well worn.  Insects singing, individual laves dance on their branches, sunbeams breaking through the canopy.  Ant columns on the march, feasting on a caterpillar and moving fungus.</p>
<p>The summit brings views of the mountain shrouded in mist.  The sun beats down on the clearing.  Wayward down, mercifully cool.  Slippery, steep, concentrate no finding a safe foothold to tread.  Across a stream and up a near vertical mud wall.  A waterfall brings cooling air, a rush of water-the sound sudden  as I turn the corner.  Upon reaching it I could gaze for hours, at peace, watchin the water drape over the rocks.  Mountain height:  6000ft.  <a href="http://kyspeaks.com/category/eat/steamboat/" title="Steamboat reviews" target="_blank">Steamboat</a> for dins and don't forget the tea!  Tofu and taste!  Could be a money-maker!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Winding roads and occasional wooden huts and shelters lead up and up into the lush green hills.  Spectacular drops and even more spectacular views.  <a href="http://www.cameron-highland-destination.com/cameron-highland-tanah-rata.html" title="Tanah Rata" target="_blank">Tanah Rata</a> of the <a href="http://www.cameron-highlands.com/" title="Cameron Highlands" target="_blank">Cameron Highlands</a> is the next stop: a streets-worth of shop sand smiles again.</p>
<p>Upon our hill, the stars decorate the sky as the beauty of the trees fades from sight.  The cool (and contextually cold) air replaces the hot, thick smog and the constant rumble of cars gives way to the song of a thousand tiny insects.  Our Swedish friend from KL turns up and teaches us 'shit-hole'.  Right now though, the crickets will serenade me to sleep.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A wait to visit the viewing  bridge of the <a href="http://www.petronastwintowers.com.my/internet/pett/pettweb.nsf/flash_intro?OpenPage" title="petronas  twin towrs" target="_blank">Petronas Twin Towers</a> was spent shopping for local music and chillin' with the rewards.   From the viewing bridge, Kuala Lumpur could be seen nestling between lush green hills; the modern  architectural marvels not yet dominating the skyline as London or New York might but seemingly living in tandem with the natural beauty.  Hundreds of thousands of people all going about their personal experiences before my eyes.  All experiencing life in a similar way that I could if I were behind their  eyes.  Mine, and the experiences of the people I know just a minute drop in the ocean.  I wish I could experience life as all of them not to mention those in Singapore, Melaka and no doubt in the other places I'll see as well as those that I'll never see.  All of this just confirms that there is no point trying to learn from everybody and just be myself whilst taking an interest and understanding the ways others do  things.  That should keep me one step ahead  as not many people give an arse about understanding others...well...unless money is involved.</p>
<p>Back to the city streets where the air  is hot and thick with smog and the traffic imposing and single-minded.  This, I could not cope with for long despite loving the buzz of the city.  Overall, Kuala Lumpur is exhausting, loud and very warm.  However, I love the cramped bustle of the <a href="http://www.malaysiasite.nl/markets.htm" title="night markets" target="_blank">night markets</a>, novel (to me) nightlife and endless  people-watching experiences possible.</p>
<p>It'll be nice to get up to the <a href="http://www.cameronhighlands.com/" title="cameron highlands" target="_blank">Cameron Highlands</a> where the air is cool and  laid back.  I think cities make me think too much!  However, the contrast between the harmonious  thoughts of the Tower and the imposing smog at ground level is odd.  Perhaps the harmony will not stay for long.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today, we did some mingling with some really nice locals!  The fist was a man sitting outside a shop who called Tom a 'cowboy'  because of his bush-tucker-man hat.  He told us about places he'd seen in Britain (he went to uni in Cardiff) and that he wants to travel the US now he's single (his 22 year ol'd son goes to uni in Malaysia).  The second bloke was even  nicer.  We sat down with him at a roadside drinks stall:  We talked about <a href="http://www.travelmalaysia.co.uk/home/region_details.asp?Region=West%20Coast&#38;Country=Malaysia" title="Melaka" target="_blank">Melaka</a> and Malaysia, and Melaka's cultural diversity (Malays, Dutch, Portuguese - some were at the stall, Indians, Chinese).  We drunk a sweet Indian drink called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chendol" title="Cendol" target="_blank">Cendol</a> (pronounced Chendol) made from long green bits made from rice flower, ice, kidney beans, coconut milk.  It was really sweet.  We then left and he paid for our drinks!  We were walking his way and he said we should visit him in Kuala Lumpur if we visit again!  He lives near the airport and beach and is just here for a while.</p>
<p>We also saw Istana Kesultanan (a rebuilt Malay palace).  It's entirely made of wood and the original used no nails!  Here, it said Malaka was founded when a regal blokie on the run had his dog kicked in the river by a white Mouse-Deer when he was resting...</p>
<p>The thing most striking about Melaka is it's heritage:  The dutch, Portuguese and British have conquered it so there are the Dutch graveyard, Portuguese Church and rebuilt trading ship, Dutch buildings etc.  A colonial feel to a tropical place with a muddy, typically Asian river running through it.  Today, I bought two cool shirts (white and beige) and an off-white top for about 4 quid each!  Later we are going to sample some Nonya  food (Nonya food is made by descendants of the Chinese workers who married Malaysian women - They developed their own culture.)</p>
