Breakfast at Ubud Market
I’m on a mission at the Ubud market to find my favorite breakfast. I enter near the corner of Monkey Forest Road and Jl. Raya, past a row of noisy old ladies dressed in faded sarongs and the long-sleeved lace or printed polyester kebayas, selling fluorescent cakes dyed with pink and green food coloring, soft blue hydrangeas, coconut leaves, green bananas and vegetables of all descriptions bursting out of small bamboo baskets.
As I jalan-jalan round the corner, edging my way past 100 Ubud mums doing their early morning shopping, I’m relieved to find what I’m looking for: mission accomplished.
There lies my breakfast. Ahead of me, shaded from the hot morning sun, is the bubur seller, Memek Leseg, from South Ubud, serving my favorite market treat, rice porridge or bubur. Bubur is soft-boiled rice that is topped with assorted seasonings. In this case, it’s a savory dish.
Meme Leseg’s small foodstall sits beside a community of grandmas at low tables that are set up for the morning’s takeaway trade. These are Ubud’s D.I.Y. walking foodstalls – meals on legs, not wheels, if you know what I mean. Every morning, these diligent grandmas carry cooked rice and assorted seasonings on their heads to the market. Have you seen them? They walk from home, set-up shop and when all is sold, carry the empty pots and pans back again (to their abode), with a somewhat lighter load than when they left.
In the crowded western wing of the market, you can buy sweet or savory rice porridges, bubur or nasi campur from these four grandmas. They have been selling takeaway rice for as long as I, or anyone in Ubud for that matter, can remember. But it’s more than that. This cozy little corner provides an exciting local gathering of sorts, for it’s here you can catch up on all the village gossip in a matter of minutes. What more could a girl want? You can find out about almost anything, told in the most animated, exaggerated way, while buying provisions for the family. That’s what I call one-stop shopping.
The bubur is my all-time favorite and consists of smooth, boiled rice topped with steamed greens and soy sprouts mixed with shredded coconut, sambal and a gentle coconut sauce. It creates a sublime mix of textures, from soft as a kiss to deliciously chewy, with that salsa-dance punch of hot chilli. But what also makes this dish so seductive, (well, to me anyway) is the flavor of fresh coconut oil and lashings of fried shrimp paste. It adds a mellow, luscious base note that gives it a certain depth, rather like the smooth jazz I heard at As One the other night, My Funny Valentine.
The grandma who sells the bubur has a sweet, round face that somehow matches the gentle quality of the food she sells, rather like owners and their pets. Beside her sit the sticky-rice and nasi campur sellers. Apart from their food, I love the distinguishing feature of the towels on their heads. Perched like turbans, these coils of well-worn cloth have seen better days. They range in faded pastel shades and patterns, in an oddly coordinated way.
If you feel like something sweet, you can dine on sticky rice, flecked with pumpkin and topped with grated coconut. And then there is the ubiquitous nasi campur. At the market, it usually consists of steamed vegetables with roasted coconut, tempeh, ground salted fish, sambal and other seasonal titbits. The meals are all carefully wrapped in banana leaves, or brown paper, to be eaten for breakfast, lunch or as a shared snack amongst friends.
To wash it all down, dalumen, that forest-green, slimy drink smelling of wheat grass, can be purchased nearby from Memek Jarni, a woman whose personality is as intriguing as the tonic she sells. I adore this woman and her dalumen is the undisputed finest in town. Memek Jarni is an unusual mix of elegance, comedy and melancholy, and always has the crowds laughing. Her stall, set with the supporting cast of mysterious green dalumen, creamy, roasted coconut milk, palm-sugar syrup and pink squiggly rice flour bits, is her stage where she delivers her lines, combines all the ingredients and stirs each glass with the drama of a Shakespearian actor. Once her potion is finished for the day, she quietens down and looks a little forlorn. If I see her at the temple, she always hugs me and tells me I’m cantik (beautiful). Otherwise, she asks me to give her the shirt off my back. When all her pots are empty, usually by 10am, the table and all its contents are carried home on the top of the coiled towel turban. A busy day’s work in Bali.
As I jalan-jalan round the corner, edging my way past 100 Ubud mums doing their early morning shopping, I’m relieved to find what I’m looking for: mission accomplished.
There lies my breakfast. Ahead of me, shaded from the hot morning sun, is the bubur seller, Memek Leseg, from South Ubud, serving my favorite market treat, rice porridge or bubur. Bubur is soft-boiled rice that is topped with assorted seasonings. In this case, it’s a savory dish.
Meme Leseg’s small foodstall sits beside a community of grandmas at low tables that are set up for the morning’s takeaway trade.

Breakfast at Ubud Market
I’m on a mission at the Ubud market to find my favorite breakfast. I enter near the corner of Monkey Forest Road and Jl. Raya, past a row of noisy old ladies dressed in faded sarongs and the long-sleeved lace or printed polyester kebayas, selling fluorescent cakes dyed with pink and green food coloring, soft blue hydrangeas, coconut leaves, green bananas and vegetables of all descriptions bursting out of small bamboo baskets.

Virtual Bali
I am on vacation (sort of) this week. But I did manage to get up early this morning to participate in the UN’s climate change negotiations currently underway in Bali, Indonesia via the Virtual Bali initiative from OneWorld.net, the civil society portal in Second Life (also see the Guardian Unlimited). Dr. Walden Bello executive director of Focus on the Global South was being interviewed by Daniel Nelson (picture above) and taking questions from Second Life.
Daniel Nelson, is streamed live from Bali onto OneClimate island each day, from 12.30pm GMT, in conversation with conference goers about the progress being made.
There is a another important opportunity for Second Life residents to participate in the United Nations Climate Change event in Bali today.
Congressman Edward Markey will be in Second Life.
Congressman Edward Markey (D-Mass.), Chairman of the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming, has decided to use Virtual Bali, on Second Life, for his speech to the UN Conference instead of spending the carbon to fly there. You can meet him and hear his presentation on the OneClimate island this Tuesday at 8pm EST, 5pm PST and 1.0 am in the UK. Or you can watch it on the web.
The National Physical Laboratory unveils the new interactive model of the remarkable TRUTHS satellite in Second Life
truthsslpost.jpg
The new interactive model of the TRUTHS satellite was scheduled to be unveiled in Second Life to an audience at the United Nations Climate Change meeting in Bali. Unfortunately a technical hitch prevented the streaming. But, I was lucky enough to attend in Second Life as the UK National Physical Laboratory Science Fellow, Dr Nigel Fox, spoke and took questions from the Second Life audience. TRUTHS is a vital step forward for an operating system for planet earth.
TRUTHS is a concept designed at NPL, the UK national measurement institute, to help improve the accuracy and traceability of Earth Observation data used in Climate Models to predict Climate Change, and has wide support in the international science community.
The proposed Traceable Radiometry Underpinning Terrestrial- and Helio-Studies (TRUTHS) mission is unique in establishing high accuracy SI traceable data in-flight - a “calibration laboratory in space”. It also offers a novel approach to the provision of key scientific data with unprecedented radiometric accuracy for Earth Observation (EO) and solar studies, which will also establish well-calibrated reference targets/standards to support other Earth Observation missions.
Recently the need for such a mission has been specifically highlighted by the United Nations GCOS (Global Climate Observing System) and WMO GSICS (Global Satellite Inter-Calibration System) committees, culminating in the call for a specific mission by the, US Academy of sciences called CLARREO (Climate Absolute Radiance and Refractivity Observatory) of which TRUTHS is the likely component to meet the solar spectral domain
TRUTHS will be the first satellite mission to calibrate its EO instrumentation directly to SI in orbit, overcoming the usual uncertainties associated with drifts of sensor gain and spectral shape by using an electrical rather than an optical standard as the basis of its calibration. The range of instruments flown as part of the payload will also provide accurate input data to improve atmospheric radiative transfer codes by anchoring boundary conditions, through simultaneous measurements of aerosols, particulates and radiances at various heights. Therefore, TRUTHS will significantly improve the performance and accuracy of EO missions with broad global or operational aims, as well as more dedicated missions.
TRUTHS in Second Life
TRUTHS is being exhibited in the SciLands, at the International Spaceflight Museum and with additional information at NASA CoLab. The UK’S National Physical Laboratory is represented in Second Life by Davee Commerce, Minna Runo, Nigel Comet, and Bing Villiers. You can IM them for more information.
Davee Commerce, NPL, (a.k.a. Dave Taylor in “real” life) demonstrated the fascinating new interactive model to me. I will do a longer write up in another post. This is one of the most impressive Scientific instruments to be modeled in Second Life.
truthsinside.jpg
The TRUTHS satellite contains two sets of instruments:
1/ to measure the Sun – total radiation arriving at the top of the Earth’s atmosphere, and spectrally resolved
2/ to measure the Earth – reflected sunlight viewed through the Earth’s atmosphere
The animations [in Second Life} show these instruments in operation. However, the principle objective of this animation is to illustrate the novel in-flight calibration concept of TRUTHS which allow an improvement in accuracy of a factor of ten over other similar sensors.
Will real data from TRUTHS be integrated into Second Life?
drnigefox.jpg
It was very exciting to hear Dr Nigel Fox present in Second Life. I asked him if he foresaw real data from TRUTHS ultimately being integrated into Second Life. He responded:
It may even be we take it a stage beyond that as a concept. If you think of Google Earth where people are viewing Google Earth and looking in their own back yard or their garden to see if they can see their image from the satellite data. It is perfectly possible with the TRUTHS concept that people, viewers within Second Life, could actually control the satellite and take the data themselves and put it into models, see how the whole thing works, and actually control the satellite. I could imagine having a virtual earth and satellite where we can actually show and control the thing from within the Second Life environment so scientists from around the world can use it to determine what data they want, where from, and when within the Second Life environment.

Dr. Nigel Fox also has a Podcast on Earth Observation and Climate Change on: http://feeds.feedburner.com/npl-lectures
Here is a short bio of Dr. Nigel Fox taken from the notecard announcing the Second Life event:
Dr. Nigel Fox joined NPL from University College London in 1981 and since that time has been engaged in the establishment and dissemination of primary optical radiation measurement scales. The instrumentation and methodologies resulting from his developments and technical leadership have led to nearly two orders of magnitude reduction in uncertainty in many of these scales and their adoption worldwide throughout the metrological community. More recently he has expanded his interests to include the specific needs of the Earth Observation and associated climate change community. This has led to further international recognition within this specific sector where he represents the UK and the international metrology community as a whole in a number of key committees. Nigel has published more than 100 papers and filed two patents.

It is perfectly possible with the TRUTHS concept that people, viewers within Second Life, could actually control the satellite and take the data themselves and put it into models, see how the whole thing works, and actually control the satellite. I could imagine having a virtual earth and satellite where we can actually show and control the thing from within the Second Life environment so scientists from around the world can use it to determine what data they want, where from, and when within the Second Life environment.

Dr. Nigel Fox also has a Podcast on Earth Observation and Climate Change on: http://feeds.feedburner.com/npl-lectures
Here is a short bio of Dr. Nigel Fox taken from the notecard announcing the Second Life event:
Dr. Nigel Fox joined NPL from University College London in 1981 and since that time has been engaged in the establishment and dissemination of primary optical radiation measurement scales. The instrumentation and methodologies resulting from his developments and technical leadership have led to nearly two orders of magnitude reduction in uncertainty in many of these scales and their adoption worldwide throughout the metrological community. More recently he has expanded his interests to include the specific needs of the Earth Observation and associated climate change community. This has led to further international recognition within this specific sector where he represents the UK and the international metrology community as a whole in a number of key committees. Nigel has published more than 100 papers and filed two patents.

Daniel Nelson, is streamed live from Bali onto OneClimate island each day, from 12.30pm GMT, in conversation with conference goers about the progress being made.
There is a another important opportunity for Second Life residents to participate in the United Nations Climate Change event in Bali today.
Congressman Edward Markey will be in Second Life.
Congressman Edward Markey (D-Mass.), Chairman of the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming, has decided to use Virtual Bali, on Second Life, for his speech to the UN Conference instead of spending the carbon to fly there. You can meet him and hear his presentation on the OneClimate island this Tuesday at 8pm EST, 5pm PST and 1.0 am in the UK. Or you can watch it on the web.
The National Physical Laboratory unveils the new interactive model of the remarkable TRUTHS satellite in Second Life
truthsslpost.jpg
The new interactive model of the TRUTHS satellite was scheduled to be unveiled in Second Life to an audience at the United Nations Climate Change meeting in Bali. Unfortunately a technical hitch prevented the streaming. But, I was lucky enough to attend in Second Life as the UK National Physical Laboratory Science Fellow, Dr Nigel Fox, spoke and took questions from the Second Life audience. TRUTHS is a vital step forward for an operating system for planet earth.
TRUTHS is a concept designed at NPL, the UK national measurement institute, to help improve the accuracy and traceability of Earth Observation data used in Climate Models to predict Climate Change, and has wide support in the international science community.
The proposed Traceable Radiometry Underpinning Terrestrial- and Helio-Studies (TRUTHS) mission is unique in establishing high accuracy SI traceable data in-flight - a “calibration laboratory in space”. It also offers a novel approach to the provision of key scientific data with unprecedented radiometric accuracy for Earth Observation (EO) and solar studies, which will also establish well-calibrated reference targets/standards to support other Earth Observation missions.
Recently the need for such a mission has been specifically highlighted by the United Nations GCOS (Global Climate Observing System) and WMO GSICS (Global Satellite Inter-Calibration System) committees, culminating in the call for a specific mission by the, US Academy of sciences called CLARREO (Climate Absolute Radiance and Refractivity Observatory) of which TRUTHS is the likely component to meet the solar spectral domain
TRUTHS will be the first satellite mission to calibrate its EO instrumentation directly to SI in orbit, overcoming the usual uncertainties associated with drifts of sensor gain and spectral shape by using an electrical rather than an optical standard as the basis of its calibration. The range of instruments flown as part of the payload will also provide accurate input data to improve atmospheric radiative transfer codes by anchoring boundary conditions, through simultaneous measurements of aerosols, particulates and radiances at various heights. Therefore, TRUTHS will significantly improve the performance and accuracy of EO missions with broad global or operational aims, as well as more dedicated missions.
TRUTHS in Second Life
TRUTHS is being exhibited in the SciLands, at the International Spaceflight Museum and with additional information at NASA CoLab. The UK’S National Physical Laboratory is represented in Second Life by Davee Commerce, Minna Runo, Nigel Comet, and Bing Villiers. You can IM them for more information.
Davee Commerce, NPL, (a.k.a. Dave Taylor in “real” life) demonstrated the fascinating new interactive model to me. I will do a longer write up in another post. This is one of the most impressive Scientific instruments to be modeled in Second Life.
truthsinside.jpg
The TRUTHS satellite contains two sets of instruments:
1/ to measure the Sun – total radiation arriving at the top of the Earth’s atmosphere, and spectrally resolved
2/ to measure the Earth – reflected sunlight viewed through the Earth’s atmosphere
The animations [in Second Life} show these instruments in operation. However, the principle objective of this animation is to illustrate the novel in-flight calibration concept of TRUTHS which allow an improvement in accuracy of a factor of ten over other similar sensors.
Will real data from TRUTHS be integrated into Second Life?
drnigefox.jpg
It was very exciting to hear Dr Nigel Fox present in Second Life. I asked him if he foresaw real data from TRUTHS ultimately being integrated into Second Life. He responded:
It may even be we take it a stage beyond that as a concept. If you think of Google Earth where people are viewing Google Earth and looking in their own back yard or their garden to see if they can see their image from the satellite data. It is perfectly possible with the TRUTHS concept that people, viewers within Second Life, could actually control the satellite and take the data themselves and put it into models, see how the whole thing works, and actually control the satellite.

coast pacitan
coast pacitan that is beautiful, pity kalo we are never there. coast pacitan this is never at make to stop in big ships because the coast insufficient. in this time coast pacitan this is at benefit fishermans to melaut mecari fish and tour place. but recently coast pacitan this is at make to reclining coal ship because follow ship news experience leakage, and final reclining at this coast. see the message at radar madiun berikut…
ember stone ship is lunged wave
forced reclining at gulf pacitan
pacitan - billow and good weather at sea waters south java, make ship entebe star 20 reclining at gulf pacitan, yesterday. luck, barge will contain thousands ember stone ton from banjarmasin (kalimatan south) that will aim cilacap that only will experience little leakage in lambung ship.
follow one of the crew (abk), so enter sea waters pacitan, sudden appear billow as high as 4 until 5 that meters. that condition augmentings with weather very bad (dark cloud is espoused rain). afraid happen a certain, nahkoda ship decides to avoid billow with reclining at gulf pacitan. " forced we postpone voyage aims cilacap, " he said while leave a message so that bot to speak of the spirit.
decision nahkoda reclining at gulf pacitan not without reason. around three last year, a barge also contain thousands wave trailing ember stone up to achieves coast teleng cheerful. up to separo spilled the load to coast. even, ship penarik experience damage. " moment that, nahkoda late avoid billow. "
actually, he with around 15 another crew man accustomed has passed by waters stripe. but, this wave wave very big and very berisiko if then continue voyage. " after fix leakage and string selling (chain), we are soon anchor, " augment it again.
although so, nahkoda and 15 abk another can not ascertain what day reclining at gulf pacitan. besides still to do correction in ship, also see wave condition and weather. related that thing his side contact to company the place works.
several abk another admits glad lean at gulf pacitan. because, local fisherman solidarity very tall. so the ship huddles, several fisherman boats soon approach to do communication and accomodation efforts. for example with lend compressor, to menguras water that come into dek ship.
like to unfolded one of the fisherman teleng cheerful, big ship existence not matter foreign again. because, that waters area is really be big ship route, belong ember stone barge. but, if there big ship melaju fast huddles to gulf pacitan, sure happen a certain. " that ship begins to enter gulf around blow 03.00 early morning, " word siran, one of the fisherman.
according to him, in lambung barge ship there crack around 5 centimetres. that damage is said little. but, condition at sea very difference. if not fast anticipated crack going worse strong sea wave pressure consequence. so that water enters dek and ship can sink.
meanwhile, existence entebe star 20 entebe at gulf pacitan, be scenery interestings for tour visitor teleng cheerful also local society. even, several mengantaranya a lot take a picture it. and a part again talk about it related to the frequently of the happening
