Global warming countered by acid rain
A recent NASA study links global warming to the decrease in sulfate particles in the air, because these particles reflect heat. Sulfate particles were the cause of acid rain.
The same study, concentrating on aerosols as a cause for global warming, says a rise in sooth levels from Chinese coal, is causing a temperature rise, because sooth absorbs warmth.

Gene taylor @ 't Hof van Blaasveld
Last saturday the Gene Taylor trio played a fine concert in our neighbourhood pub.
Gene Taylor is a great piano player, sometimes reminds me of Professor Longhair (no physical resemblance).
The trio features the ever relaxed Wuff Maes on drums and Tim Hooligan on guitar.
I remember fun versions of "one scotch, one bourbon, one beer", with a practical demonstration, logically followed by "Drunk" (Jimmy Liggings). They finished of taking "Jambalaya" (Hank Williams) back to New Orleans.
Gene Taylor used to play with the exciting retro rock band The Blasters and is touring with the Fabulous Thunderbirds these days.

Hemel en aarde
Paul Rans retires from his world music program Hemel en Aarde sunday evening on Klara radio. Hemel en Aarde had a wide array of folk music from all over the world, but focussed on asian and arabic music. Typical 20 minute performances, ideal for softly drifting to sleep.
Hemel en Aarde continues with a new guy, Marc Vandemoorte, who is selecting a bit more European folk. There's also a a new presenter (that english?), Melike Tarhan, a female Turkish singer from Ghent (record by Melike). The music is still fine, but I'm missing Rans's voice.

Vooizeken
Een van die dichtregels die volkswijsheden geworden zijn:
't Is goed in 't eigen hert te kijken
Nog even voor het slapen gaan
Avondliedeken III, Alice Nahon
Uit: Op zachte vooizekens, 1921
Blogs brengen overwegend zakelijk geschriften voort omdat een computer nu eenmaal een andere sfeer geeft dan ganzeveren en kaarslicht.
De titel van de bundel betekent "met zachte stem" denk ik (voice, zoetgevooisd), hoewel een vooizeken ook een liedje is. Aan het kampvuur werd wel eens geroepen "zing nog eens een vozeken". Vroeger altijd gedacht dat dat van voos (bedorven) kwam.
