- My night in Madrid:After being greeted at the airport by my friend Eva and her boyfriend Luismi (a celebrated poet in Colombia, believe it or not), it's off to the Melacatin to sample some traditional fayre. The restuarant is perhaps unique in that an order of food for three people prompts the delivery of enough for ten. The main course is Cocido Madrileno, a type of stew which consists of chickpeas, cabbage, celery, carrots, turnips, chicken, beef and pork, lots of pork, more pork than I've even seen. I suspect that there's an abattoir round the back of the kitchen where pigs are feverishly slaughtered in a desperate bid to keep up with demand. |

Traditionally scientific researchers have needed a desktop computer for all of their productivity applications, and a separate platform for the compute engine to support their research. "The tremendous benefit of Mac OS X is it gives you both," says Van Etten. "The only thin... |

- Lu sur Indymédia Paris : "Les Roms de Montreuil prochaines victimes des lois Sarkozy ? Après les expulsions-rafles de l'année passée, dernière en date Montreuil le 14 avril 2003, la répression policière avait pris une autre forme ces derniers mois, laissant de côté le spectaculaire pour l'intimidation au quotidien dans le dessein de décourager les familles Roms de rester sur le territoire français.

- Lu sur Périphéries : "C est un livre tout de sérénité et de clairvoyance; rien de moins péremptoire, rien qui se fasse moins le complice de quelque violence que ce soit. Et pourtant, L enfant, le prisonnier, sorti au printemps dernier, dans lequel Annie Leclerc raconte ses quinze ans d atelier d écriture en prison, est un livre éminemment subversif. Subversif, parce qu il contredit, comme elle l écrit elle-même, "l arrogante affirmation selon laquelle un criminel est un criminel, un point c est tout"; |

- Finally, something to watch on tv this fall... Tru Calling, the show Eliza Dushku picked instead of a BtVS spinoff, starts on Fox on October 30th. From the little I've seen (promos, etc) I'm hoping it lasts the whole season. Could be interesting. Not sure if the idea is enough to last more than one season. |

Ever since the tragic derailment at Camden Town the tube’s days have been numbered and despite the growing number of celebrities paying sky-high prices to use it, it was clear that passengers will henceforth have to make do with the slower bus service across the city. |
