Red Hot Chili Peppers - Goodbye Angels
Red Hot Chili Peppers, also sometimes shortened to The Chili Peppers or abbreviated as RHCP, are an American alternative rock/funk rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1983. The group's musical style primarily consists of rock with an emphasis on funk, as well as elements from other genres such as punk rock and psychedelic rock. When played live, their music incorporates elements of jam band due to the improvised nature of much of their performances. Currently, the band consists of founding members vocalist Anthony Kiedis and bassist Flea, longtime drummer Chad Smith, and former touring guitarist Josh Klinghoffer. Red Hot Chili Peppers are one of the best-selling bands of all time with over 80 million records sold worldwide, have been nominated for sixteen Grammy Awards, of which they have won six, and are the most successful band in alternative rock radio history, currently holding the records for most number-one singles (13), most cumulative weeks at number one (85) and most top-ten songs (25) on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart. In 2012, they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Pickering Castle is situated on the southern edge of the North York Moors on a limestone bluff which formerly overlooked the meeting point of two of the main highways through the north of England: the east-west route along the Vale of Pickering and the north-south route through Newton Dale to Malton. The monument consists of a single area which includes the site of the 11th century motte and bailey castle and the 13th century shell keep castle. The former was built by William the Conqueror either during or shortly after the 'harrying of the north' in 1069-70. It consisted of an earth motte crowned by a timber palisade, flanked on the north-west side by a crescent-shaped inner bailey and, on the south-east side, by a contemporary or slightly later outer bailey. The inner bailey measured c.120m by c.35m and was bounded to the north by a steep natural slope surmounted by a palisade and to the south by deep 15m wide ditches linked to the ditch encircling the motte. The outer bailey, which measured c.185m by c.25m, was protected on the north side by these same ditches and, on the south side, by a 5-8m high palisaded bank with an outer ditch. To the immediate east of the outer bailey ditch a further earthwork bank may have provided additional defence on this side; alternatively it may be part of a medieval defence system associated with the adjacent settlement. The motte is c.20m high and has a base diameter of c.60m. It is not yet clear whether this is the original 11th century motte or a later medieval reconstruction. In the latter case, the earlier motte will have been preserved inside the later while, in addition, the buried remains of a wide range of domestic and service buildings will survive within the open areas of the baileys.
The reconstruction of the castle in stone largely took place between 1180 and 1236. There were three main phases to the work at this time, the earliest involving the late 12th century replacement of the palisade round the inner bailey with a curtain wall and also the probable construction of the first shell keep on the motte. In its present form the shell keep dates to the early 13th century but the foundations of the earlier wall will survive underneath. The remains of the early curtain wall still stand round the inner bailey, surviving best where the curtain was incorporated into later buildings. The earliest buildings so far identified are the early or mid- 12th century Old Hall, a free-standing residence whose surviving foundations show it to have been half-timbered, and the Coleman Tower, constructed at the same time as the inner curtain and an integral part of it. The Coleman Tower guarded the entry across the inner bailey ditch and was also a prison; hence its earlier name, the King's Prison. It was square in plan and had its entrance on the first floor, the level underneath being where the prisoners were kept. On the east side are the remains of a small building and also a stairway leading onto an adjacent wall. This wall, built across the motte ditch in the late 12th century, replaced an earlier palisade and provided access to the summit of the motte. A similar and contemporary length survives on the opposite side of the motte, crossing the ditch and joining the curtain alongside the later Rosamund's Tower. The keep consisted of a rubble wall enclosing a roughly circular area 20m wide. A wall walk would have lined the inside of the wall above a series of garrison buildings. The foundations of some of these buildings survive but it is not certain whether they date to the 13th or the 14th century. In some cases they will have replaced earlier timber structures whose buried remains will also survive. Also of uncertain date are the foundations of a number of buildings in the inner bailey, including a service range to the south-west and a group of buildings referred to as the Constable's Place in the accounts of the years 1441-43. The latter were half-timbered and some sections predate the inner curtain though others were clearly added later. A survey of 1537 lists a number of distinct structures, including the Constable's hall, a kitchen, buttery and pantry, and quarters for staff and servants. At the southern end of the group were a number of storage buildings, one of which is believed to have been the wool house. Two additional service buildings lay adjacent to the Old Hall and are thought, originally, to have been contemporary with it. To the south of these is the chantry-chapel which dates from c.1227 and is still complete though in a much altered state.
To the west of this is the early 14th century New Hall, initially built as a residence for Countess Alice, wife of Earl Thomas of Lancaster. This was later used as a courthouse which gave rise to it being named King's Hall or Motte (moot) Hall in later surveys. It was a penticed or lean-to building of two storeys which utilised the inner curtain for its outer wall. The inner walls were timber-framed and, as much of the surviving stonework is late 12th or early 13th century, it clearly replaced an earlier building. The upper chamber or solar of the 14th century hall was an elaborate plastered room with a decorated fireplace. The last major programme of building dates to 1324-26 when Edward II ordered extensive works to be carried out which included replacing the whole of the timber palisade round the outer bailey with a stone wall. This outer curtain included three projecting towers, a gatehouse with a drawbridge over the outer ditch and a postern gate which led from the north-east arm of the inner bailey ditch, underneath Rosamund's Tower and out onto the rampart. A second gate and drawbridge, built at this time alongside the Coleman Tower, had fallen out of use by the 16th century and can now no longer be seen. The three projecting towers, named from north-east to south-west, Rosamund's Tower, Diate Hill Tower and Mill Tower, are all square in plan and all would have led out onto the wall-walk along the inside of the curtain though, in the case of the Mill Tower, the curtain to either side has not survived sufficiently well to demonstrate this. The ground-floor entrance to the Mill Tower consisted of two doors linked by a short passage, in which the first door opened inwards and the second outwards indicating that the tower was built as a prison, a role it took over from the Coleman Tower. North of the Mill Tower, the outer curtain crossed the inner bailey ditch which can also be seen outside the castle walls on the west and north sides. This section of the ditch was part of the original 11th century defences and was quarried out of the rock on which the castle was built.
A levelled area alongside the inner edge indicates that quarrying of the rock-face continued after the ditch was cut. The quarried stone would have gone towards the construction of at least some of the castle buildings. Aside from its strategic and administrative roles, Pickering Castle had two other functions: to guard and manage the large forest which lay adjacent and to provide a court and place of detention for those found guilty of offences against it, such as poaching, unauthorised clearance and the theft of timber. The forest was an extremely important economic resource during the Middle Ages and its particular importance at Pickering can be seen in the great use made of wood in the castle buildings and also, most significantly, its continuous use in the defences down to the 14th century. Also important to the castle economy during the 14th century was the sale of wool, and it also had responsibility for managing the royal stud created by Edward II in c.1322. Possibly the stables known to have been located against the outer curtain at this time, between the gatehouse and Diate Hill tower, were connected with this. According to the Domesday Book, in 1086 the manor of Pickering was held by the king, that is, William the Conqueror. The castle established at this time as part of the subjugation of the rebellious North remained in royal hands until 1267 when it was conferred with the title Earl of Lancaster on Edmund Crouchback, younger son of Henry III. Edmund's son Thomas succeeded to both title and estates in 1296 but was executed for treason by Edward II in 1322, whereupon his estates reverted to the king. Following the unsuccessful Scottish campaign of the same year, and the ensuing retaliatory attacks on the north of England by Robert the Bruce, Edward ordered the building works noted above, clearly intending to keep Pickering a royal castle. However, in 1326 his son Edward III confirmed Henry, the younger brother of Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, in his brother's titles and estates, and, in 1351, the castle became part of the Duchy of Lancaster when that title was created. Upon the elevation of the House of Lancaster to the throne in 1399, and in 1413, the succession of Henry V, the Duchy reverted to the Crown and Pickering became a royal castle once again. It has been in State care since 1926. A number of features within the protected area are excluded from the scheduling. These include the ticket office/sales point and its paved base and steps, all English Heritage fixtures and fittings such as bins, bridges, safety grilles, signs, railings and interpretation boards, the surfaces of all modern steps and paths inside and outside the castle walls, lighting and the modern walls and fences round the outside edge of the protected area but the ground beneath all these features is included.
Espacios Bioseguros
“Necesitamos tomar medidas preventivas de forma urgente bajo el paradigma del uso de las mejores tecnologías”
Luis de la Fuente Ramírez, presidente de ABQ, presentó Espacios Bioseguros junto al decano del Colegio de Biólogos de la Comunidad Autónoma de Madrid (COBCM), Ángel Fernández Ipar, como “un concepto en el que destacamos una serie de medidas de prevención para la población general por medio de un conjunto de soluciones tecnológicas para prevenir y minimizar los riesgos de contagio en, por ejemplo, espacios interiores, medios de transporte y otros, con el objetivo de controlar los agentes contaminantes de una forma eficaz y sostenible desde el punto de vista medioambiental y económico”. Por otro lado, “los profesionales debemos de controlar de forma eficaz los riesgos de contagio, tanto en las superficies como en el empleo de los materiales de trabajo que utilizamos todos los días”, matizó Ramírez a lo largo de su exposición.
Con motivo del acto de presentación de las Olimpiadas de Biología de la Comunidad Autónoma de Madrid, los responsables de ABQ dieron a conocer los objetivos de la entidad, así como el proyecto Espacios Bioseguros.
De esta manera, ABQ, entidad europea especializada en bioseguridad, “desea llevar a cabo un protocolo de implantación de un certificado de calidad para garantizar el Espacio Bioseguro en las empresas e instituciones con un 80% de éxito en todos los análisis que hagamos a partir de ahora”, indicaron los responsables de la asociación.
Recordemos que “ABQ ha logrado seleccionar, junto a los colegios de biólogos de las distintas Comunidades Autónomas, soluciones eficientes que han sido contrastadas por la NASA”, concluyó Ramírez.
De esta manera, la asociación ABQ participó en las Olimpiadas de Biología de la Comunidad de Madrid, organizadas por el Colegio de Biólogos de la Comunidad de Madrid (COBCM) con el patrocinio de la Consejería de Educación y la colaboración de la Universidad Complutense, Universidad Autónoma y Editorial Santillana.

kathak is a flamboyant style of a dance form. But when you bring in the language of Bharatanatyam and Odissi, obviously you will be restrained.
Parkahya, literally, 'The Body of Another' this festival features cross-currents in classical dance. It attempts to expand the boundaries of our performing arts as well as augment existing repertoires meaningfully. Whilst adhering to certain rules and formats, each style also absorbs and imbibes from others, though retaining its essence. In Parkaya, three exemplary dancers work with each other and collaboratively use elements of each other's forms that are visualised by one and executed by another.
It is hoped that this endeavour goes some way in sensitizing one dance form to another and benefitting from this interaction, since there is so much that is shared in the Indian art aesthetic.
Three signature pieces taken from each style form the basis of this festival's repertoire: the Varnam from Bharatanatyam, the Pallavi from Odissi and the Thumri from Kathak.
Prerna Shrimali is amont hte leading kathak dancers and gurus of her generation. A versatile dancer, she has evolved an individual style in her presentation and gained wide popularity as a soloist. She incorporates various elements of classical, medieval and contemporary poetry in her performances and has to her credit many choreographies. She receive her training in Katha Guru Shri Kundanlal Gangani of the Jaipur Gharana.
Prerna has participated in several international dance seminars and congereces and has presented Kathak in the festivals in UK, USSR, Japan, France, Switzerland. She has presented at Liconln centre and Carnegie Hall, New York and present a series in Jordan, Syria and Muscat.
She is a recipient of Sangeet Natak Akademi award, Rajasthan Sangeet Natak Akademi Award..
Prerna is Senior Guru in Kathak Kendra.

Malayan Tiger ... male
Panthera tigris jacksoni
The Malayan tiger wears the characteristic striping pattern of black stripes on orange and white that provides excellent camouflage in the forest. Using its quiet stalking ability, a tiger will ambush large prey, often pouncing on it from the rear. Other than females with their young, tigers are solitary and come together only to mate. Each tiger defends its own territory from others of the same gender. Territories must be large to provide enough prey for a tiger to eat. A tiger may travel up to 20 miles a night in search of prey. As more and more forests disappear, tigers struggle to maintain a territory with sufficient prey.

This is a very old picture of the male cubs that were born at our zoo. Year this shot was taken was 2010.
We have been getting a fair amount of snow here even though it isn't officially winter so I decided to look to the past for some of my snowy day photos taken at my zoo. I haven't even tried to visit my zoo with the snowy weather because it is just too cold for me. I'm hoping that by next weekend it will warm up some so I can go for a little while before Christmas. In the meantime I hope you enjoy these snow pictures from the past.
Have a nice night everyone!

1987 - the divide between the Lower Schools East and West was readily apparent: 'we think the East buildings are pretty drab' 'we Westies don't mix with the Easties' 'the people there aren't very nice to us' 'East smells of disinfectant.' There was a Swiss Expedition to Val D'Herens. HMS Pinafore was performed for 2 nights by the staff. In the Boarding House, lights-out was at 9.15pm for first years and 11.30pm for sixth formers. Prep was from 6.00-8.00pm. The Headmaster Mr Kenningham confessed he'd used corporal punishment in a previous school but thought it a bad thing. The first exchange with Marblehead School in New Hampshire took place. Kent Opera conducted opera workshops. James Jones, John Lockyer, Linda Cookson, Jim Hunt, Elenore Williams, Paul Cheetham were staff leavers. Gary Yates played table tennis for England Cadets. In October a trip was made to Montepulciano in Italy. In exchange, the Italian students had this to say about their stay: 'I don't like early dinner very much.' 'In Italy we work much at School. English pupils have many breaks between lessons, they don't spend their lesson time very well and therefore have to study in the evenings.' 'You have more exams, more subjects, more breaks but less hours in lessons.'
La cathédrale Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption de Clermont est une cathédrale gothique située à Clermont-Ferrand. Elle a été édifiée à partir de 1248 au centre de la ville de Clermont, la capitale historique de l'Auvergne. Elle a remplacé une cathédrale romane située au même endroit qui elle-même avait été précédée par deux autres sanctuaires chrétiens. Son patronage initial est celui de saint-Vital et saint-Agricol. La majeure partie de la construction actuelle date de la seconde moitié du XIIIe siècle, c'est le premier exemple d'utilisation en architecture de la pierre de Volvic. La façade occidentale et d'autres rénovations ont été effectuées par Eugène Viollet-le-Duc au cours de la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle.

Mais que cores e formas, a preocupação em reciclar e reutilizar está sempre falando mais alto quando o assunto é artesanato. Por isso, aquele jornal velho, que iria para o lixo foi transformado nesta peça decorativa.
Você sabia...
A reciclagem do papel é de extrema importância para o meio ambiente? O papel é produzido através da celulose de determinados tipos de árvores. Quando reciclamos o papel ou compramos papel reciclado estamos contribuindo com o meio ambiente, pois árvores deixaram de ser cortadas. A reciclagem de papel também gera renda para milhares de pessoas que atuam, principalmente, em cooperativas de catadores e recicladores de papel.
I was reorganizing photos stored on my computer and I came across this one taken right after the snow melted this early spring. It was taken in the wetlands portion of my backyard in Merrimack,NH. It shows decaying leaves on the forest floor under a thin film of water.

Formed more than 40 years ago by a group of snap net fishermen in South Tipperary, Carrick-on-Suir River Rescue is entirely voluntary and relies on contributions from the public.
The team’s range has expanded to take in recovery searches in Kilkenny, Waterford, Cahir, Durrow, Clonmel and other riverside locations as well as its home base in Carrick-on-Suir.
Un paseo por el barrio donde nació, pintó y desarrolló sus primeros conocimientos
De exterior en exterior
Entre Soria y Bilbao, se unieron dos apellidos y dos formas de entendimiento. La visión del abuelo Jorge García Vellosillo, que por medio de un carromato llegó a la segunda ciudad, permite observar la evolución de la sociedad y paso de los años en muy poco tiempo. Quizás del siglo XX al XXI no nos separa sólo la fotografía en Blanco y Negro, sino una serie de cambios en el uso de los medios de comunicación que hacen que nos fijemos en la red como si hubiese estado siempre para quedarse. García Ergüin, en el último paseo realizado, nos enseñó la casa donde nació, la Escuela Cervantes o uno de los lugares más emblemáticos de Bilbao: el Café Iruña. Además, en un día lluvioso, la Calle Iparraguirre y Mazarredo son dos lugares de paso obligado, porque son numerosos los recuerdos de una zona en la que el pintor se ha sentido como en casa, a pesar de los diferentes viajes realizados. En esa cronología, que estamos realizando gracias a las diapositivas de las diferentes exposiciones, análisis de imágenes en papel o el estudio de la obra, cuadro por cuadro, el origen marca una serie de acontecimientos que son de interés y que marcan el compás del tiempo.
Los estudios en los que Iñaki García Ergüin se ha sentido como en casa cambiaron con la evolución del propio pintor, que pintó sus primeros esbozos y bocetos en la calle, con tan sólo 14 años de edad, hasta que miró por su arte trasladando sus utensilios y herramientas de trabajo a la Calle María Muñoz. En poco tiempo, la Calle Gran Vía de Bilbao fue el segundo lugar seleccionado para seguir investigando en el arte de la pintura, con calma y espacio, donde el creador empezó a dar forma a sus cuadros denominados “primitivos”, que sintetizan algunos exteriores de Cuenca, Castilla, Guajasierra, Castro Urdiales, Bermeo o Portugalete, con los bodegones de época, de dificultad añadida por el juego de luces y uso del color.
En la Calle Mazarredo, los placeres y los días, se esfumaban con los viajes por Europa y las exposiciones realizadas en Madrid, ya que los premios llegaron a finales de la década de los cincuenta y los críticos vieron en la figura de Ergüin una promesa capaz de buscar temáticas diferentes para lograr consolidar un estilo propio, original y con marca auténtica que dejará al resto de autores y coetáneos su propio refugio. París, Bad Aibling (Alemania) o las propias localidades cercanas a Bilbao dieron una visión de exterior a un joven artista que recibía las clases de la mano de José de Lorenzo Solís en la escuela, al lado de otros compañeros de profesión.
La infancia, marcada por el transcurso de la Guerra Civil Española (1936-1939) y la evolución de la contienda, sobre todo las noticias de la II Guerra Mundial, crean una generación de niños que crecen con el sonido de las bombas, la falta de alimentos de primera necesidad y los “juegos de guerra” en la calle, entre bandas rivales que provenían de los distintos barrios. Para García Ergüin la pintura, como tal, los primeros juguetes y la posibilidad de participar junto a otros niños, se “basaba en la propia definición de las cosas, la creación de juegos y juguetes, así como por medio del uso de la imaginación. Las tizas, como recuerdo en el tiempo presente, son la extensión de la mente y de la mano con la que realizamos los primeros esbozos en la carretera”.
El monte Urkiola, Bermeo o Archanda quedan en un pasado que sigue vigente en la cabeza del autor con más de 5.000 obras a lo largo de una trayectoria profesional significativa, donde con “poco se hacía mucho”. En el viaje realizado a finales del mes de noviembre, el Café Iruña, uno de los sitios más emblemáticos de la ciudad y al lado de los Jardines de Albia, es una de las paradas obligadas de una ruta personalizada por Ergüin, que descubre el barrio que le vio crecer a él y sus dos hermanos. De misma estatura, con sensibilidad y compartiendo las preocupaciones de la época, en el interior del café se relatan numerosas aventuras del pasado, de los primeros éxitos en las exposiciones de Madrid y Bilbao, así como de aquellos sermones de los padres cuando había poco que llevarse a la boca.
Al lado de un plato de jamón, la selección de una serie de productos de excelente calidad y un café con leche –en el caso de Ergüin solo-, las imágenes de exteriores nos permiten ver la decoración preciosista de un lugar que ha contado con los mejores productos de cada región. La Alameda de Mazarredo hasta llegar a la Calle Iparraguirre hace que busquemos cobijo con las primeras gotas de lluvia, hasta llegar al portal y seguir con las fotografías de una casa que fue el lugar de nacimiento del pintor.
El paso por la Escuela Cervantes, después de aquella simulación de paseo por en medio de la calzada realizada por el padre del artista (León) en los cincuenta, hacen que giremos sobre nuestros pasos para ver y observar aquella terraza de la Calle de Mazarredo, dejando atrás los sonidos de aquellos pájaros que nos llegan del interior del colegio de al lado. Por otra parte, contrastando las épocas, la etapa de Madrid ha permitido el desarrollo profesional de García Ergüin que disfrutó de su propio estudio en la Calle Velázquez, Nº54, aunque esas fotografías se realizarán en los próximos viajes y paradas del recorrido sobre la vida del pintor. Con la idea de finalizar un episodio, y la lluvia encima, la vuelta al análisis de la obra cumplió dos facetas. Una, que es notoria, es la consolidación de un fondo artístico que saldrá a la luz en 2013, y la otra, que es importante, es la definición de una persona capaz de adaptar su idea a cualquier tipo de formato para materializarla en obra. Así de sencillo.
