&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: book antiqua,palatino; color: #000000; font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Hi Bloggers,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: book antiqua,palatino; color: #000000; font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Toegegeven, Dardania is zeker niet de meeste exclusieve en mooiste wijk van Prishtina, maar alles heeft zo zijn voor- en nadelen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: book antiqua,palatino; color: #000000; font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Maar het waren vooral de voordelen die me hadden overtuigd om me hier te nestelen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: book antiqua,palatino; color: #000000; font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Je hebt geen last van politie, want die hebben schrik om hier te patrouilleren.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: book antiqua,palatino; color: #000000; font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Je hebt een prachtig zicht op Thermokos en weet dus precies wanneer de rest van Prishtina hun centrale verwarming werkt (zie foto). Ons gebouw mocht tijdelijk niet meegenieten van die centrale verwarming tot dat de openstaande rekening van 167.859 € betaald is.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: book antiqua,palatino; color: #000000; font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Maar het grootste voordeel was ongetwijfeld dat we 24/7 stromend water hadden. Toegegeven, normaal verwacht je dat stromend water door de kraan komt en niet via de muren, maar dat zijn details voor muggenzifters, pessimisten en narcisten.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: book antiqua,palatino; color: #000000; font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Tot blogs!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: book antiqua,palatino; color: #000000; font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;El Patron&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: book antiqua,palatino; color: #000000; font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Calibri;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: book antiqua,palatino; color: #000000; font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;img id=&quot;media-7754115&quot; style=&quot;float: left; margin: 0.2em 1.4em 0.7em 0;&quot; src=&quot;http://static.skynetblogs.be/media/137443/150354660.JPG&quot; alt=&quot;20101231 Thermokos Water.JPG&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Destination: Dardania, Prishtina. En van op El Patron’s penthouse had hij een mooi overzicht wat er zich afspeelde in de Mahalla (lees: Da Hood) van Prishtina.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: book antiqua,palatino; color: #000000; font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Tot blogs!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: book antiqua,palatino; color: #000000; font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;El Patron&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img id=&quot;media-7751871&quot; style=&quot;float: left; margin: 0.2em 1.4em 0.7em 0;&quot; src=&quot;http://static.skynetblogs.be/media/137443/2720465849.JPG&quot; alt=&quot;IMG_0205.JPG&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

In December 2008 was de crew van Jan Verheyen op zoek naar locaties voor de verfilming van Dossier K (Jef Geeraerts) en El Patron is toen in de schaarse katholieke bergdorpjes in de buurt van Klina en Gjakova op zoek gegaan naar mogelijke lokaties. De crew heeft Kosovo nadien zelf ook bezocht. Uiteindelijk werd er besloten om niet in Kosovo te filmen, maar de naam van het dorpje Zllakuqan viel wel in de aarde bij de filmmakers. De naam werd dan ook gebruikt in Dossier K als het dorpje in Albanië vanwaar Nazim Tahir (gespeeld door Blerim Destani) zijn familie achterlaat om de moord op zijn vader te wreken volgens de tradities en de wetten van de Kanun.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: book antiqua,palatino; color: #000000; font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Ondertussen is Dossier K een van de weinige niet-Engelstalige films die in de Kosovaarse videotheken vlot over de toonbank gaat.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: book antiqua,palatino; color: #000000; font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Tot blogs!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: book antiqua,palatino; color: #000000; font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;El Patron&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: book antiqua,palatino; color: #000000; font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Calibri;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: book antiqua,palatino; color: #000000; font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;355&quot; data=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/q26NR7pYWxs&amp;amp;rel=1&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;data&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/q26NR7pYWxs&amp;amp;rel=1&quot; /&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;wmode&quot; value=&quot;transparent&quot; /&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;src&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/q26NR7pYWxs&amp;amp;rel=1&quot; /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

<summary>  Hi Bloggers,    Eergisteren speelde Rachid Taha in de Ancienne Belgique in...</summary>
<content type="html" xml:base="http://elpatron.skynetblogs.be/">
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Calibri&quot; size=&quot;3&quot; color=&quot;#000000&quot;&gt;Hi Bloggers,&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Calibri&quot; size=&quot;3&quot; color=&quot;#000000&quot;&gt;Eergisteren speelde Rachid Taha in de Ancienne Belgique in Brussel. Ondergetekende is nog steeds onder de indruk en wil via zijn blog Rachid wat meer bekendheid geven, want blijkbaar is de Algerijnse rocker nog niet zo bekend bij het grote publiek.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Calibri&quot; size=&quot;3&quot; color=&quot;#000000&quot;&gt;Een citaat in het Engels van op MySpace geeft al een eerste indruk, binnenkort meer.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;mso-ansi-language: EN-US;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Calibri&quot;&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#000000&quot;&gt;On this his 8th studio album Rachid Taha&amp;rsquo;s &amp;ldquo;Bonjour&amp;rdquo; is no ordinary greeting. It is not the standard &amp;ldquo;bonjour&amp;rdquo; uttered reflexively in the street or on the telephone, but a more generous one reflecting Rachid&amp;rsquo;s nature. Rachid has been offering to get acquainted for nearly 30 years now. For all that time, his music has been saying &amp;ldquo;bonjour&amp;rdquo;, &amp;ldquo;bongiorno&amp;rdquo;, &amp;ldquo;hola&amp;rdquo;, &amp;ldquo;hello&amp;rdquo;, &amp;ldquo;as salaamu alaikum&amp;rdquo; and &amp;ldquo;guten tag&amp;rdquo;, greeting others with tireless, friendly enthusiasm. Already on the Made In Medina album in 2000, he sang &amp;ldquo;Come on over!&amp;rdquo;(Garab). On this record recorded in Paris and New York, he continues with &amp;ldquo;Come here&amp;rdquo; (Agi), &amp;ldquo;Hi&amp;rdquo; (S&amp;eacute;lu) and above all &amp;ldquo;I love you&amp;rdquo; (Mon Amour - My Love). After asking &amp;ldquo;Where are you going?&amp;rdquo; (Ya Rayah), he adds &amp;ldquo;Where are you from?&amp;rdquo; (Mine Ja&amp;iuml;), not out of any suspicion, but because he sees in other people that part of himself where shared dreams and desires are reflected. Since the 80s, Rachid has been consolidating his musical world on the basis of the exchange, movement and circulation of people, ideas, cultures and sounds. From rai to rock and electro to song, his landscape has continued to broaden. Now, on this new album, it forms an expanding, increasingly fertile, fresh-flowing confluent where he invites his listeners to take part in unforgettable festivities. This structured, appealing, open attitude has won him international recognition. Damon Albarn invited him to join his Africa Express project, ex-Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant has cited him as an example and he is admired by U2 and Coldplay producer Brian Eno, who is now a friend (the two have given concerts in St. Petersburg and Sydney). Over the last few years, singer without borders Rachid Taha has appeared in Russia, Australia, Brazil, Hungary, Vietnam and Mexico, not to mention his native Algeria, adoptive country France, and the United States, land of influences, where he recorded this new album. &amp;ldquo;I wanted to change my way of doing things,&amp;rdquo; admits Rachid, who has also changed his headgear. Goodbye beret and porkpie hat, hello Stetson. Like J.R. in Dallas? &amp;ldquo;No, like John Wayne in Rio Bravo!&amp;rdquo; he insists, ever a stickler for the proper reference. This time, he has headed out West. Initially, he worked on demos at home near Paris. Then he carried on writing the 10 new songs with Ga&amp;euml;tan Roussel, Louise Attaque singer and personal friend. &amp;ldquo;My albums have always been partnerships. Before, it was with Steve Hillage. We worked together for a long time. With Ga&amp;euml;tan, everything fell into place almost immediately and the record was the fastest I&amp;rsquo;ve made in my career.&amp;rdquo; You draw faster in a Stetson, one might say! The second phase was in New York, where Mark Plati, an Italian-American producer who has worked with many great names (David Bowie, The Cure, Alain Bashung, the Rita Mitsouko and Louise Attaque) welcomed him to his studio, Alice&amp;rsquo;s Restaurant. The Big Apple felt both familiar and new to Rachid, conducive to the perfect state of mind for a project of this kind. The America Rachid loves is an idiosyncratic one, gleaned from John Ford westerns, Johnny Cash&amp;rsquo;s country music and Elvis Presley&amp;rsquo;s rock &amp;rsquo;n&amp;rsquo; roll. Yet it is also that nerve centre that transforms and returns the raw material supplied by its immigrants. A metalworker&amp;rsquo;s son, once fascinated by his uncle&amp;rsquo;s ranch in the Oran region, that Algerian Far West where he was born at the end of the 50s and spent part of his childhood, before being hauled around from Alsace to the Vosges to the suburbs of Lyon, Rachid inevitably feels at home there. On Ha baby, where phonetics flirts with semantics (&amp;ldquo;Habibi&amp;rdquo; means &amp;ldquo;my love&amp;rdquo; in Arabic), Rachid has achieved a perfect blend of country and Alger-style cha&amp;acirc;bi popular music. This mixture of Kenny Rodgers and Farid El Atrache is a love song and jewel among others, with Hakim Hamadouche&amp;rsquo;s Arab lute twinned with Marc Copely&amp;rsquo;s National guitar to produce a set of finery Rachid offers to his beloved. The album, which begins with a vibrant Je t&amp;rsquo;aime (I love you) and ends on the tender, disarming Viens (Agi) (Come), is very much a declaration of love addressed to his partner, life and difference. Love might seem a very commonplace subject, but sung from the heart, it can brighten any tune. Rachid understands this. He appreciates both the romantic Elvis of Now or Never or Love Me Tender, and the often scorned classics of French vintage pop. 23 years after his take on Charles Trenet&amp;rsquo;s Douce France (Sweet France) with his band Carte de S&amp;eacute;jour, he brings us Bonjour (Hello) sung in Arabic and French with Ga&amp;euml;tan Roussel, a wonderful tribute to the French popular genre at its most sincere. This delicious exercise, which joins the na&amp;iuml;ve world of Amelie to the oriental ritornellos of Egyptian singer Abdel Alim Hafez, brings the simple greeting back into fashion, managing to raise a smile and even (why not?) a little optimism. Yet such lightness of tone is in no way symptomatic of an early form of vacuous amnesia in the singer. A famously sensitive and committed artist, Rachid has experienced too many personal and collective rifts to turn his back on the pain of exile, reawakened here with This is an Arabian song, where his friend Bruno Maman (an Algerian brother from Constantine) repeats &amp;ldquo;n&amp;rsquo;oublie jamais&amp;rdquo; (never forget) over a rock guitar backing. Elsewhere, Rachid reflects on the fraternal bond between Jews and Arabs, continually buried under successive layers of hatred and suffering (Mabrouk aalik). We can safely say that obscurantism will never be welcome at his table: on S&amp;eacute;lu, he invites only purveyors of light - Averro&amp;egrave;s, Naghib Mahfouz, Camaron, Frantz Fanon, Lili Boniche and Youssef Chahine - rewarding each one of them with a vibrant flamenco greeting. This has always been the way on Rachid&amp;rsquo;s albums. There is a time for love and a time for thought; a time for dreams and a time for memories. Then there is obviously a time for dancing, with the uncompromising Mindjey, a hip-hop/jeel-music hybrid whose electro programming (by his son Lyes) forms a stunning alloy when brought into contact with a bewitching oriental scale. In this sound environment where all cultures finally meet and exchange greetings, Rachid Taha is reconciled with his different selves. He has often wondered, &amp;ldquo;Am I Oriental or disoriented?&amp;rdquo; Here he provides the irrefutable answer: a record that bridges two cultures.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Calibri&quot; size=&quot;3&quot; color=&quot;#000000&quot;&gt;Tot blogs!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Calibri&quot; size=&quot;3&quot; color=&quot;#000000&quot;&gt;El Patron&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Calibri&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Calibri&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Aangezien ik niet ben afgestudeerd met een Masters in Nederlandse Literatuur en ik voorheen de voorkeur gaf aan &amp;lsquo;De Avonturen van Kuifje&amp;rsquo; kunnen jullie mij dit wel vergeven.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Calibri&quot; size=&quot;3&quot; color=&quot;#000000&quot;&gt;Ondertussen heb ik een beetje gegoogled en heb ik vernomen dat A. Den Doolaard nog voor mij verliefd werd op de Balkan. De Nederlandse schrijver heeft een aantal jaren van zijn leven doorgebracht in het voormalige Joegoslavi&amp;euml;. In 1939 verscheen zijn boek &amp;lsquo;De bruiloft der zeven zigeuners&amp;rsquo;, een boek dat er voor zorgde dat er een enorme belangstelling ontstond voor Ohrid in de lage landen. Jaarlijks bezochten toen 50.000 Nederlanders dit prachtige stadje in het Zuidoosten van de Balkan. En ik die dacht dat deze parel van de Balkan onontgonnen terrein was.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Calibri&quot; size=&quot;3&quot; color=&quot;#000000&quot;&gt;Ik ben ondertussen wel benieuwd naar die roman van A. Den Doolaard. Is er iemand die deze roman ooit gelezen heeft of weet waar ik die kan vinden?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Calibri&quot; size=&quot;3&quot; color=&quot;#000000&quot;&gt;Tot blogs!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Calibri&quot; size=&quot;3&quot; color=&quot;#000000&quot;&gt;El Patron&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Calibri&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://static.skynetblogs.be/media/137443/dyn007_original_600_450_pjpeg_2637520_023f36500fe273596d6a5f8735891080.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;1 Den Doolaard&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

<summary>  Hi Bloggers,    Blijkbaar konden de bunkers ook getransporteerd worden door...</summary>

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Calibri&quot; size=&quot;3&quot; color=&quot;#000000&quot;&gt;Hi Bloggers,&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Calibri&quot; size=&quot;3&quot; color=&quot;#000000&quot;&gt;Blijkbaar konden de bunkers ook getransporteerd worden door een vrachtwagen. Dat mocht ik enkele jaren geleden ervaren toen ik de prachtige Albanese film &amp;lsquo;Tirana Year Zero&amp;rsquo; (Franse en Belgische coproducties) te zien kreeg.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Calibri&quot; size=&quot;3&quot; color=&quot;#000000&quot;&gt;De film vertelt het verhaal van een jong koppel in het postcommunistische Albani&amp;euml;, in een tijdperk dat Albanezen het land ontvluchten voor een beter leven. Ontzettend grappige en vrij obscure film die enkele prijzen in de wacht sleepten, waaronder onder andere de SACD-prijs in Belgi&amp;euml;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Calibri&quot; size=&quot;3&quot; color=&quot;#000000&quot;&gt;Tot blogs!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Calibri&quot; size=&quot;3&quot; color=&quot;#000000&quot;&gt;El Patron&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Calibri&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Calibri&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
