MUSEO DE LA TAUROMAQUIA SALTILLO COAHUILA
La fiesta taurina está íntimamente ligada a su aspecto ancestral, tradicional y popular. La cultura que ha cubierto siempre el discurrir histórico de la fiesta, da idea de su relevancia: la tauromaquia ha sido plasmada por artistas tales como Goya, Picasso, Manet, Enrique Simonet, Alberto Gironella, Lucas Villaamil y Paco Puertas, así como en pasodobles del famoso compositor mexicano Agustín Lara. La tauromaquia es ejercicio de múltiple comprensión, y puede ser admirada o criticada, pero sus componentes, ya citados, le permiten perdurar en el tiempo y generar amplio debate a su alrededor. Por ejemplo, el gobierno de España, a través del Ministerio del Interior, hace referencia al aspecto cultural de las corridas de toros en su reglamentación de las escuelas taurinas: «Para fomento de la fiesta de toros, en atención a la tradición y vigencia cultural de la misma, podrán crearse escuelas taurinas para la formación de nuevos profesionales taurinos y el apoyo y promoción de su actividad.
El historiador y crítico de la estética y de la literatura española, Menéndez Pelayo, enseñó en su Historia de las ideas estéticas en España que la tauromaquia pertenece a las artes secundarias:
Son artes secundarias todos aquellos ejercicios y obras humanas que, sin proponerse un fin de utilidad práctica inmediata y participando por esto del carácter desinteresado de las obras estéticas, tienden a hacer resaltar, por medio del libre juego de nuestras facultades físicas o morales, cualidades de fuerza, de agilidad o de gracia, análogos a la belleza, cuando no la belleza misma de la figura humana. A este género pertenecen… la tauromaquia, que en realidad es una terrible y colosal pantomima de feroz y trágica belleza, en la cual se dan reunidos y perfeccionados los elementos estéticos de la equitación y de la esgrima, así como la ópera produce juntos los efectos de la música y de la poesía. Bastante más merecen estos ejercicios el calificativo de artes que la pirotecnia y la agricultura (!!) que han querido admitir algunos teóricos.
Menéndez Pelayo, Historia de las ideas estéticas en España, hasta el siglo XVII, cap. XII
El filósofo José Ortega y Gasset explicaba que era impensable estudiar la historia de España sin considerar las corridas de los toros. Si muchos de los escritores y filósofos de la Generación del 98, no gustaban de las corridas de toros, era porque la culpaban del atraso de la sociedad española. Así, Unamuno explicaba que no le gustaban las corridas, no porque fuese un espectáculo cruento, sino porque se perdía mucho tiempo hablando de ella y esto explicaba la formación cultural de sus espectadores. Ortega y Gasset, en su obra La caza y los toros, se extrañaba de que el toreo, siendo un ejercicio callado diese tanto que hablar. Posteriormente, la Generación del 27 en su mayoría fue amante de la fiesta, sobre la cual escribieron, pintaron y esculpieron. Vale citar las palabras con las que Federico García Lorca manifestaba su abierto apoyo y gusto por la tauromaquia: «El toreo es probablemente la riqueza poética y vital de España, increíblemente desaprovechada por los escritores y artistas, debido principalmente a una falsa educación pedagógica que nos han dado y que hemos sido los hombres de mi generación los primeros en rechazar. Creo que los toros es la fiesta más culta que hay en el mundo».
Cartel del festejo taurino del 15 de agosto de 1934 que se celebró en Villafranca de la Sierra (Ávila, España).
Antonio Machado deja clara su postura en su obra Juan de Mairena: «Con el toro no se juega, puesto que se le mata, sin utilidad aparte, como si dijéramos de un modo religioso, en holocausto a un dios desconocido.»
Ortega y Gasset, al igual que otros autores como el académico José María de Cossío, realizaba un paralelismo entre las corridas de toros y la historia de España:
Afirmo de la manera más taxativa que no puede comprender bien la Historia de España, desde 1650 hasta hoy, quien no se haya cimentado con rigorosa construcción la historia de las corridas de toros en el sentido estricto del término, no de la fiesta de toros que, más o menos vagamente, ha existido en la Península desde hace tres milenios, sino lo que nosotros actualmente llamamos con ese nombre. La historia de las corridas de toros revela algunos de los secretos más recónditos de la vida nacional española durante casi tres siglos. Y no se trata de vagas apreciaciones, sino que, de otro modo, no se puede definir con precisión la peculiar estructura social de nuestro pueblo durante esos siglos, estructura social que es, en muy importantes órdenes, estrictamente inversa de la normal en las otras naciones de Europa.
José Ortega y Gasset
Otros intelectuales contemporáneos, como Enrique Tierno Galván, subrayaron, en abierta contradicción con los del 98, el carácter socialmente pedagógico de la tauromaquia: «Los toros son el acontecimiento que más ha educado social, e incluso políticamente, al pueblo español». Y abundaba en el refinamiento del gusto artístico que supone para sus aficionados:
El espectador de los toros se está continuamente ejercitando en la apreciación de lo bueno y de lo malo, de lo justo y de lo injusto, de lo bello y de lo feo. El que va a los toros es exactamente lo contrario de aquel aficionado a los espectáculos, de quien dice Platón que no tolera que le hablen de la belleza en sí, de la justicia en sí y de otras cosas semejantes. El espectador de los toros no es un mero, un simple aficionado a lo espectacular, ni tampoco exclusivamente un entusiasta de la exaltación embriagadora, es, mejor que todo esto un amante del conjunto del cual, en cuanto acontecimiento, es parte necesaria.
Los toros acontecimiento nacional, E. Tierno Galván
Una larga lista de escritores de varios países ha escrito exaltando el toreo como una parte importante del alma de sus pueblos. Entre los artistas vivos que defienden el toreo se encuentra el peruano Mario Vargas Llosa, el escultor y pintor colombiano Fernando Botero y el escultor y pintor mexicano Humberto Peraza.
Entre los partidarios de la tauromaquia se encuentran el pintor Francisco de Goya (si bien tuvo, al parecer, una postura ambivalente con respecto a los espectáculos taurinos) y los escritores Nicolás Fernández de Moratín y Valle-Inclán. Filósofos como Fernando Savater o Enrique Tierno Galván, y artistas como Joaquín Sabina o Joan Manuel Serrat, aducen que estas críticas de los antitaurinos obedecen a la ignorancia, ya que el toro de lidia vive en libertad en su hábitat natural y, sin las corridas, no solo se extinguiría el toro bravo, sino el propio ecosistema en que se desenvuelve (las dehesas), sin embargo hay alegatos que refieren a que estas pueden ser protegidas por ley sin la necesidad de criar toros. Otros defensores del toreo, como el catedrático Andrés Amorós, argumenta que nadie ama más al toro que un buen aficionado a las corridas: «nadie admira más su belleza, nadie exige con más vehemencia su integridad y se indigna con mayor furia ante cualquier maltrato, desprecio o manipulación fraudulenta.

A photographer records an awe-inspiring moment in time during a brilliantly-colored sunrise at Mono Lake, California.
Scientists around the world were captivated for a time when researchers at Mono Lake seemed to have discovered the first known microorganism on Earth able to thrive using the toxic chemical arsenic instead of phosphorus in its cell components. The discovery turned out not to be a new form of life, but such is the nature of science: new findings are tested before they are fully accepted.
I'll be leading a workshop in Mono Basin to benefit the Mono Lake Committee June 2-4, 2017. Enrollment is through their Seminars page:
Mono Basin Spring Landscapes & Astrophotography
June 2–4 • Jeff Sullivan
$275 per person / $250 for members
Spring is a special time for photographers in the Eastern Sierra, with wildflowers emerging, snow lingering on Sierra Nevada peaks catching morning alpenglow, afternoon cumulus cloud formations for potential sunset color, typically yielding to clear skies for night photography. Accomplished local photographer Jeff Sullivan will teach you some of his favorite techniques and show you some of his favorite spots for landscape and night photography in the Mono Basin. Jeff is a landscape photography and astrophotography workshop instructor, and author of 320-page guidebook Photographing California Vol. 2 – South. Limited to 12 participants

Finished soldering the component side of bushing's new twlfpga board to a mostly-virgin DSi. I'm trying a new "hot glue reflow" technique for making the wiring job sturdy yet serviceable :)
For those of you who are interested in the 'bits', here are a selection of the key parts.
Not a complete rundown by covers the main mechanicals and load-bearing structures.
Car is 'drivable' with rear engine/transaxle, front tub and front drive assembly module.
Engine is an eight cylinder in 'W' format. That is two Vee-fours with their crankshafts gearedto a cenntral drive shaft.
Front and rear suspension are both by swing axles and sprung by torsion bars. The front suspension module plus straing into the front of the stressed tub and is completely self contained for load paths. The rear suspension feefs the loadparths into the engine assembly.
Not on the engine module the heat exchangers mounted in front of the rear wheels as well as behing the rear suspension module. The real Veyron has 13 heat exchangers in all. The detailing on the top of the engine asembly replicates the intake system and air-air intercoolers for the charge air.
One of the included images has the entire vehicle assembly arrayed.

Enough components to build three more Bonneville's. This will put total at 9 builds. I will then build one last Bonneville Flyer to end production at 10 units. Nice pile of parts, huh?
Animals from the Botswana Defense Force wildlife training area in Gaborone.
Two U.S. Army Africa officers conducted a Military Decision Making Process seminar for Botswana Defense Force leaders Aug. 2-6 in Gaborone, Republic of Botswana.
Majs. Tre Wilcher III and Dan Kolva undertook the traveling contact team visit to present the U.S. Army approach to field grade officers of both the Botswana Ground Forces and the Botswana Air Wing, the two components of the BDF.
“The U.S. Army model of MDMP was introduced five years ago to the BDF, but previously has only been taught in the Command and Staff College. But now there seems to be a push to integrate it throughout their ranks for planning process at all levels,” Wilcher said.
The majority of participants held the rank of major, though there were a few warrant officers and noncommissioned officers in attendance as well. Participants included pilots, logisticians, military police, air defense and intelligence personnel, he said.
The seminar consisted of morning discussions regarding one or two of the seven MDMP steps followed by afternoon Tactical Decision Games or scenario exercises in which the BDF officers practiced the conduct of MDMP according to the U.S. Army model. The BDF officers were quick to grasp the MDMP and work with it as a planning tool, Wilcher said.
“They were overwhelmingly receptive to the concept and the seven steps,” Kolva said. “They conducted a candid analysis of the process and sequential steps, even to the extent of challenging the order we presented.”
The BDF officers occasionally worked through their scheduled breaks to ensure their grasp of particulars and the process as a whole, he said.
“The officers, warrants and NCOs that participated were always attentive to the subject. They displayed a real dedication to learning the process for the benefit of their branch and service,” Kolva said.
While in Gaborone, Kolva and Wilcher had the rare opportunity to tour the BDF’s “Snake Park,” a unique training environment that prepares BDF soldiers for deployments in the bush. The facility is home to not only snakes, but to lions, crocodiles, monkeys, hyenas and wild dogs among other creatures.
The BDF uses the facility to train soldiers to understand, react to and interact with the indigenous wildlife while conducting anti-poaching and border security missions.
“We learned something from them, too,” Wilcher said.

Recent research by the Airfield Research group has revealed that building was nicknamed "Dragon Mountain" by base personnel, Not the often quoted "Magic Mountain" . The first reference to Magic Mountain is in the research notes for the listing of the Building and is in error. The Dragon Mountain name makes more sense as the U2/TR-1 aircraft are nicknamed "The Dragon Lady" and personnel with the 17th RW called themselves "Dragon Keepers"
"The Avionics building, constructed c. 1989 by US Air Force, is a two storey, partly sunken reinforced concrete bunker, rectangular in plan. The building accommodates a drive-through access roadway and is capped with a rough concrete buster cap designed to absorb the impact of a missile before penetrating the bunker's roof.
INTERIOR: The purpose of the avionics building was to service the electronic components of reconnaissance aircraft and process the data retrieved. The interior of the building housed life support systems, stainless steel decontamination rooms, electronics workshops, photographic dark rooms, handling and storage areas. It is protected internally by subterranean 'portcullis' type blast doors on a hydraulic release mechanism. By the main doors are a suite of decontamination rooms and male and female toilets. An internal vehicular decontamination facility is also present. Large rooms on the lower floor housed the computers (now removed) where the data was downloaded and analysed. One of these rooms has a painted motto 'Aircrews live by the knowledge, skill, awareness and integrity of their maintenance people' over the door. A unique feature is the system for maintaining air pressure in the case of attack, by the use of compressed air cylinders on the lower floor, still present. All fixtures and fittings apart from the air cylinders and generators, floor surfaces, wall panelling and doors have been removed.
HISTORY: Land for an airfield at Alconbury was first acquired in 1938 as a satellite landing ground for RAF Upwood and when war broke out, the base was used by Blenheims from RAF Wyton. As part of the US 8th Air Force, it fulfilled a variety of roles until being handed back to the RAF in November 1945. In June 1953, the base was reactivated for the US 3rd Air Force and from 1959, Alconbury assumed its principal Cold War role as the home to various reconnaissance squadrons. In 1983, U2/TR-1 spy planes were permanently based at Alconbury, resulting in the construction of a number of hardened structures including the Avionics building and a number of Hardened Aircraft Shelters which have group value. Following the cessation of the Cold War, flying ceased in March 1995 and the base was released for disposal.
SOURCES. RCHME/English Heritage 'MPP Cold War Survey' 1999. Cocroft, W.D and Thomas, R.J.C 'Cold War, Building for Nuclear Confrontation 1946-1989', English Heritage, 2003.
SUMMARY OF IMPORTANCE: The hardened Avionics building at Alconbury airfield was constructed by the US Air Force in 1989. It is a very rare surviving example of this building type, and along with other buildings from this period, represents the physical manifestation of the global division between capitalism and communism that shaped the history of the late 20th century. The Avionics building is unique amongst the few such buildings in England, because of its size, form and internal survival of the vehicular decontamination unit and compressed air re-pressurising system. It is uniquely associated with the U2/TR1 aircraft, stationed only at Alconbury. As one of the last Cold War structures built in the country, it is the most sophisticated hardened structure remaining and as such has very special architectural and historic interest.
