When you are asked, "What is the first thing that comes to your mind when I say 'Washington, DC'", what would you say?
Washington Monument?
The Capitol?
White House?
Memorials?
National Mall?
Smithsonial Institute?
Well I think I would say Traffic Chaos. There are so many diversions and roadblocks that even if you have lived your entire life there in the neighborhood you have a good chance of getting lost. I was lost, driving and I was in front of a road block barricade and an officer next to it. I asked him for directions and he kindly gave me the same. The directions involved crossing a one-way street. Unbeknowest to that officer, there was another one in my way, right in the middle of the road, parked car with lights on asking me to turn around. Thanks to the One way, I couldnt get back to the same place again to ask to be rerouted (I should have taken the $10.99 GPS offer). Bottom line? Lets say, I saw the entire DC driving around in a couple of hours, unintentionally :D
The signs above were all photographed on the same morning, while walking around the downtown and tourist areas of DC. On the background is Washington Monument.
Have a wonderful Wednesday!
PRESIDIO OF MONTEREY, Calif. -- The Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center’s most colorful day of the year came May 8 as the Presidio opened its doors and welcomed a crowd estimated at more than 5,000 during its 31st hosting of Language Day. Attendees were treated to a diversity of songs, skits, dances, classroom demonstrations as well as food and wares that represented the cultures of 23 languages studied here at the military’s preeminent language training facility. Also in attendance were 54 combat veterans of the Vietnam War, honored guests during a “Welcome Home” ceremony led by Col. Paul Fellinger, Presidio of Monterey garrison commander, and Dan Presser, Military and Veterans Affairs Advisory Committee member, in commemoration of the war’s 50th anniversary.

We've recently adopted this English Language programme for school children, and are running demo lessons for local kids. This was the second. After the presentation activities, we took the kids off to a class for further teaching while the parents received more info.

My newest purchase, the Great Heights Shift dress from Anthropologie. I wore it to NYC when I went to AIPAD, and I got compliments from a variety of people, including a man on a subway and a curator at the photo gallery.
His pathetic need always made me feel slightly sick. A sweaty red face announced his intentions...just another language I'd picked up without ever meaning to. My pretending not to understand made him work harder and made me smile.

The Best Movies of 2006.
01. A Scanner Darkly / Помутнение — 10/10.
Криминальная sci-fi драма, от Richard Linklater, на основе позднего автобиографичного произведения от Philip K. Dick, который заодно написал Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? — по нему сняли всем известный Blade Runner. В фильме рассказывается о секретном расследовании путей распространения новейшего нркт, поэтому фильм снят в необычной полуанимционно-галлюциногенной манере, среди персонажей отметились Keanu Reeves, постепенно сходящий с ума двойной агент, который вынужден сам принимать этот препарат, чтобы внедриться в банду дилеров и «в свободное время» страдающий от неразделённой любви к Вайноне Райдер, собственно Winona в майке с глубоким декольте 💕 — слегка упоротая стерва-кокаинщица (на первый взгляд), далее Robert Downey, Jr. — философствующий дилер-шизофреник, который и сам перманентно под этим делом, и наконец Woody Harrelson — психопат-параноик, в любой непонятной ситуаций закидывающийся колёсами — причём в итоге всё окажется вообще не так как казалось поначалу. Отчасти в подобной атмосфере снят ещё один мегафильм — Enter the Void (Gaspar Noé, 2009) с Paz de la Huerta, хотя он намного более атмосферный и скорее о переселении душ, тоже посмотрите если пропустили. Ну и «Страх и ненависть в Лас-Вегасе», который многие считают бредом, хотя там млрд аллюзий на контркультуру 60-х.
02. Factory Girl / Я соблазнила Энди Уорхола — 10/10.
Биография культовой актрисы Edie Sedgwick (1943-1971) (потрясающая роль Sienna Miller), плюс циничный Andy Warhol (Guy Pearce), немного пафосный Bob Dylan (Hayden Christensen), который постоянно курит косяки задвигая философски-поэтические телеги, редактор Vogue (Ileana Douglas), и даже великие The Velvet Underground с Nico (Meredith Ostrom)! настоятельно рекомендую.
03. Inland Empire / Внутренняя империя — 10/10.
Мистический опус Д.Линча. Внутренняя Империя - это регион в Калифорнии. Именно там разворачиваются основные действия картины, рассказывающей о загадочной женщине, попавшей в беду. Лора Дерн играет Никки, актрису, которой предложили роль в фильме режиссёра Кингсли Стюарта (Джереми Айронс). Её партнёром по картине выступает Дэвон (Джастин Теру), которого режиссёр предупреждает об одержимом муже Никки и просит держать съёмки в секрете. По сюжету снимаемого фильма Никки должна сыграть Сью, а Дэвон - Билли, и оба персонажа должны начать любовный роман. В самом начале съёмок они узнают, что сценарий, который основан на польской народной легенде про цыган, является ремейком фильма, который не был доснят до конца, потому что игравшие в нём главные роли актёры были убиты.
04. This Is England / Это Англия — 10/10.
Моментально ставший культовым фильм Шейна Медоуза, рассказывает об английских скинхедах 80-х. 12-летний Шон Филд потерял любимого отца в Фолклендской войне. Подравшись со школьным задирой, он бредёт домой, и встречает в туннеле группу скинов, вливаясь в их тусовку.
05. Gradiva (C'est Gradiva qui vous appelle) / Вас зовёт Градива — 10/10.
Атмосферно-эротическая криминальная драма-мистификация от Алена Роб-Грийе, где профессор востоковед, исследуя в Марокко Североафриканский период работы Делакруа, получает редкие рисунки художника в таинственном секретном Театре страданий, после чего его разум теряется в галлюцинациях с сексуальным подтекстом — его начинает преследовать видение красивой женщины, Градивы, которая была музой Делакруа, на фоне марроканских лабиринтов. Нелинейный фильм-загадка!
06. The Departed / Отступники — 9/10.
Фильм Мартина Скорcезе, ремейк гонконгского криминального триллера Двойная рокировка (2002). Криминальный босс Фрэнк Костелло (Джек Николсон) берёт под своё крыло десятилетнего Колина Салливана, собираясь в будущем сделать его своим человеком в полиции. Проходят годы, и Салливан (Мэтт Деймон) оканчивает школу полиции штата Массачусетс. Вместе с ним там учился Билли Костиган (Леонардо Ди Каприо). Скорcезе наконец получил Оскар, давно заслуженный, за Казино, Авиатор и Таксиста, например.
07. Om Gud vill / По высшей воле — 9/10.
Красивая романтическая мелодрама, Швеция 70х, Хуан (мигрант) встречает вечером на остановке красивую блондинку (Нина Перссон, вокалистка The Cardigans), которая становится для него смыслом жизни. Amir Chamdin режиссер родился в Стокгольме, хотя его мать финка, а отец из Сирии, интересно, что шведка Nina Persson по фильму играет вокалистку финской группы Juli & The Monoliths, отца Амира звали Хуан.
08. Last King of Scotland / Последний король Шотландии — 9/10.
Великая роль Фореста Уитакера, о молодом докторе из Шотландии (Джеймс Макэвой), который приехал в Уганду, случайно став вскоре ближайшим советником президента Иди Амина, кровавого тирана.
09. The Prestige / Престиж — 9/10.
Двое британских иллюзионистов Роберт Энджер, выступающий под псевдонимом Великий Дантон (Хью Джекман), и Альфред Борден (Кристиан Бэйл), были друзьями до тех пор, пока при выполнении опасного трюка не утонула жена Энджера (как считал Энджер, по вине Бордена). С тех пор двое становятся заклятыми врагами и соперниками, устраивая друг другу диверсии, и уводят друг у друга любовниц. Бывшая помощница Энджера, а ныне любовница Бордена Оливия (Скарлетт Йоханссон) приносит своему бывшему работодателю (который отверг её любовь), дневник своего любовника. Ключевым словом для расшифровки дневника является слово Тесла. В роли Теслы отметился сам Bowie!
10. Paris, je t'aime! / Париж я люблю тебя — 9/10.
Альфонсо Куарон, Гас Ван Сэнт, Вальтер Саллес, Фредерик Обуртин, Гуриндер Чадха, Изабель Койшет, Ричард ЛаГравенес, Винченцо Натали, Бруно Подалиде, Том Тыквер, Итан Коэн, Джоэл Коэн, Уэс Крэйвен, Оливье Ассайас, Жерар Депардье, Кристофер Дойл, Александр Пэйн - киноальманах, состоящий из восемнадцати историй о разных проявлениях любви, каждая из которых происходит в определённом округе Парижа.
11. The Boss of It All / Самый главный босс — 9/10.
Фарс и чёрный юмор от Ларса Фон Триера.
12. The Devil Wears Prada / Дьявол носит Prada — 8/10.
Комедийная драма, мечтающая стать журналисткой провинциальная девушка Андреа (Энн Хэтэуэй) по окончании университета получает должность помощницы всесильной Миранды Пристли (Мерил Стрип), деспотичного редактора одного из крупнейших нью-йоркских журналов мод (прототипом стала властная Анна Винтур, редактор Vogue), коллегой/конкуренткой Энн Хэтэуэй по фильму является красавица Эмили Блант, плюс звёзды типа Валентино и Хайди Клум в эпизодах.
13. Мне не больно — 8/10.
Красивая мелодрама с Ренатой Литвиновой в фильме нашего гения Алексея Балабанова, немного перекликается с фильмом «Осень в Нью-Йорке» (с Гир и Райдер).
14. Man cheng jin dai huang jin jia / Проклятие золотого цветка — 8/10.
Китай. X век. Из долгого похода возвращается император. Он поражен холодной встречей придворных. Императрица тщательно скрывает тайную связь с кронпринцем. Двор погряз в любовных и политических интригах, оплетающих дворец, словно гирлянды золотых хризантем.
15. Casino Royale / Казино Ройаль — 8/10.
Одна из лучших серий бондиады, как теперь стало ясно, во многом благодаря участию как всегда роскошной Евы Грин и Бонда - Крейга.
16. Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus / Мех: Воображаемый портрет Дианы Арбус — 8/10.
Из окна своей квартиры в Нью-Йорке Диана Арбус (Николь Кидман) видит фигуру в маске — таинственного нового соседа (Роберт Дауни мл.). Заинтригованная Диана хочет его сфотографировать и отправляется к нему в квартиру. С этого и начинается ее путешествие, которое раскрывает самые потаенные секреты Дианы, пробуждает в ней гения и направляет на путь выдающегося художника.
17. Red Road / Жилой комплекс «Ред Роуд» — 8/10.
Драма, где каждый день Джеки (оператор камер наблюдения в Глазго) приглядывает за небольшой частью мира, оберегая людей, которые живут под ее пристальным взглядом. Однажды на ее мониторе появляется мужчина, которого она не ожидала увидеть снова, и которого она больше никогда не хотела видеть. Реж. Андреа Арнольд.
18. Goya's Ghosts / Призраки Гойи — 8/10.
Фильм Милоша Формана, cюжет разворачивается во времена правления Карла IV, придворным живописцем которого был знаменитый Франсиско Гойя. На заре наполеоновских войн святая инквизиция активизируется в Испании. В числе прочих в её застенки попадает Инес - дочь богатого купца Томаса Бельбатуа, которую можно было бы даже назвать музой Гойи, так как именно её лицо живописец с регулярностью изображал на картинах и фресках. 8/10.
19. Apocalypto / Апокалипсис — 8/10.
Брутальный эпик фильм Гибсона, о временах Майя, хотя потомки индейцев позже подали простест — дескать их предки изображены слишком жестокими.
20. Остров / Ostrov — 8/10.
Павел Лунгин и Пётр Мамонов, драма об искуплении, получившая множество призов, снимали фильм на побережье Белого моря в Карелии.
21. Zwartboek / Черная книга — 8/10.
Paul Verhoeven снял отличный триллер с Carice van Houten (позже она станет знаменитой ведьмой в Game of Thrones).
22. Scoop / Сенсация — 7/10.
Скарлетт Йоханссон (легкомысленная студентка журфака) и Хью Джекман (английский аристократ), плюс Вуди Аллен собственной персоной, в образе фокусника-неврастеника. Фильм-фарс насмешка над двойным дном британской белой кости, поданный под соусом некоего сенсационного расследования.
23. Babel / Вавилон — 7/10.
Многослойная драма с Питтом от Алехандро Гонсалеса Иньярриту. В фильме развиваются три основные сюжетные линии и действует множество персонажей. Всё это показывает зрителю картину нашего мира как один большой Вавилон, в котором людям приходится находить общий язык: добиваться своего и уметь слушать других.
24. Interview / Интервью — 7/10.
Реж Стив Бушеми, он же в одной из главных ролей, но основным украшением картины несомненно стала Сиенна Миллер. Матерый, циничный, но не слишком удачливый политический журналист Пьер получает задание взять интервью у актрисы с русским именем Катя — звезды мыльных опер и B-хорроров.
25. Fast Food Nation / Нация фастфуда — 7/10.
Аврил Лавин, Брюс Уиллис и Патрицией Аркетт, а также Итан Хоук и Крис Кристофферсон, крутой состав в этом грустном фильме, о безнадёжной судьбе мекисканских нелегальных эмигрантов, которые вынуждены работать на мясоперерабатывающем заводе Макдональдса, около мексиканской границы. Аврилка тут защищает бедных коровок, и хочет их выпустить на свободу (но они не убегают) - есть пара смешных моментов и с участием прекрасной Патриции Аркетт и Итана Хоука. На одном из фестивалей зрители аплодировали стоя в конце.
26. The Illusionist / Илююзионист — 7/10.
Романтическая история с налётом магии, с Эдвардом Нортоном, про иллюзиониста, который показывает публике невиданные фокусы, которые кажутся не иначе как волшебством.
27. Lake House / Дом у озера — 7/10.
Красивая мистическая любовная мелодрама с Кеану Ривзом и Сандрой Баллок.
28. The Painted Veil / Разрисованная вуаль — 7/10.
Экранизация одноимённого романа британского писателя Сомерсета Моэма, Эдвард Нортон и Наоми Уоттс.
29. The Da Vinci Code / Код Да Винчи — 7/10.

Лэнгдон знакомится с криптографом парижской полиции Софи Невё и вместе с ней пытается раскрыть тайну, которая может подорвать могущество католической церкви. Том Хэнкс, Одри Тоту, Иэн Маккеллен, Жан Рено, Юрген Прохнов - не дадут вам заскучать, фильм собрал огромную кассу и подвергся сокрушительной критике со стороны религиозных организаций.
30. High School Musical / Классный мюзикл — 6/10.
Ванильный тенейджерский диснеевский мюзикл, который стал невероятно популярен благодаря песням-хитам из него. В ролях будущие звёзды: Зак Эфрон (19), Ванесса Энн Хадженс (18), Эшли Тисдейл (21).
31. Lucky Number Slevin / Счастливое число Слевина — 6/10.
Джош Хартнетт, Брюс Уиллис, Бен Кингсли, Стэнли Туччи, Морган Фриман и неплохой криминальный триллер с закрученным сюжетом.
32. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest / Пираты Карибского моря: Сундук мертвеца — 6/10.
Вновь оказавшись в ирреальном мире, лихой капитан Джек Воробей неожиданно узнает, что является должником легендарного капитана «Летучего Голландца» Дэйви Джонса. Джек должен в кратчайшие сроки решить эту проблему, иначе ему грозит вечное проклятие и рабское существование после смерти. В ролях всё те же Джонни Депп, Орландо Блум и Кира Найтли.
33. Mission: Impossible III / Миссия невыполнима — 6/10.
Приключенческий боевик, в ролях Том Круз, Филип Сеймур Хоффман, Винг Рэймс, Мишель Монаган, Джонатан Рис-Майерс, Мишель Монаган. Пишут что Круз получил $75 млн, притом что бюджет был $150 млн, а собрали $400 млн.
34. The Lookout / Обман — 5/10.
Джозеф Гордон-Левитт, подававший большие надежды, попадает в автомобильную катастрофу и теряет память, cтав инвалидом, он зарабатывает на жизнь ночным уборщиком в банке, параллельно лидер преступной группировки планирует ограбление этого самого банка и вербует слабоумного уборщика себе в помощники.
35. Basic Instinct 2 / Основной инстинкт 2: Жажда риска — 4/10.
При всей моей любви к Шэрон Стоун, это полный провал, опус не идёт ни в какое сравнение с абсолютно культовым триллером Верховена — Basic Instinct (1992), название тут не поменяли очевидно только из маркетинговых соображений.

It's all about love, that doesn't left, but fills everything around and engage heart's beats. Your look has only right direction for a life of intentions. Don't you feel it? It will be the appointed hour. Create your reason to go out or stay in the shadows. The price is impeccable if isn't called. A trust feelings. The grace you kept anyhow. Behind every noise there are reasons to return to silence. It's all good. Think about it, no one will be calm at the moment when there is so much eye on the square.

We Aussies certainly have some slang which baffles others around the world so here's a test for those of you interested in trying to understand our lingo (Aussie word for language).
British people will probably understand the most as I'm sure much of our slang is based on theirs.
Italien / Lombardei - Lago di Como
Tremezzo
Lake Como (Italian: Lago di Como [ˈlaːɡo di ˈkɔːmo], locally [ˈkoːmo]; Western Lombard: Lagh de Còmm [ˈlɑː‿dːe ˈkɔm],[a] Cómm [ˈkom] or Cùmm [ˈkum]), also known as Lario (Italian: [ˈlaːrjo]; after the Latin: Larius Lacus), is a lake of glacial origin in Lombardy, Italy.
It has an area of 146 square kilometres (56 sq mi), making it the third-largest lake in Italy, after Lake Garda and Lake Maggiore. At over 400 metres (1,300 ft) deep, it is the fifth deepest lake in Europe and the deepest outside Norway; the bottom of the lake is 227 metres (745 ft) below sea level. One notable characteristic is its distinctive "Y" shape.
Lake Como has been a popular retreat for aristocrats and wealthy people since Roman times, and a very popular tourist attraction with many artistic and cultural gems. It has many villas and palaces such as Villa Olmo, Villa Serbelloni, and Villa Carlotta. Many famous people have owned homes on the shores of Lake Como, including George Clooney, Madonna, and Donatella Versace.
In 2014, The Huffington Post described it as the most beautiful lake in the world for its microclimate and environment with prestigious villas and villages.
Etymology
The lake's official name is Lario (derived from the Latin Larius), but it is rarely used informally, while it is still used in formal language; it is also found in the toponym of some villages along the lake such as Pognana Lario and Mandello del Lario; Italians usually call it Lago di Como.
Geography
The lake is shaped much like an inverted letter "Y". The northern branch begins at the town of Colico, while the towns of Como and Lecco sit at the ends of the southwestern and southeastern branches respectively. The small towns of Bellagio, Menaggio and Varenna are situated at the intersection of the three branches of the lake: a boat service operates a triangular route between them.
Lake Como is fed primarily by the Adda, which enters the lake near Colico and flows out at Lecco. This geological conformation makes the southwestern branch a dead end, and so Como, unlike Lecco, is sometimes flooded.
The mountainous pre-alpine territory between the two southern arms of the lake (between Como, Bellagio, and Lecco) is known as the Larian Triangle, or Triangolo lariano. The source of the river Lambro is here. At the centre of the triangle, the town of Canzo is the seat of the Comunità Montana del Triangolo lariano, an association of the 31 municipalities that represent the 71,000 inhabitants of the area.
History
At the beginning of the first millennium B.C. during the Iron Age, the Comum oppidum was born and the civilization of Como developed, inserted in the broader Golasecca culture. In 196 B.C. the army of the consul Claudius Marcellus defeats the Celts tribe of the Comenses and conquered the city. Comum was then strengthened and rebuilt after a raid by Rhaetian and repopulated with 3,000 settlers in 77 BC. Finally, after having reclaimed the marshy area, in 59 B.C. it was re-founded with the name of Novum Comun in its current location on the lake shore at the behest of Gaius Julius Caesar. Pliny the Younger, in one of his Epistulae, describes the lake and its surrounding area as providing plentiful opportunities for fishing and hunting. According to the Notitia Dignitatum, at least since the 4th century, a Praefectus commanding a Roman military fleet was present on the lake.
During the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, the waters of the lake were the scene of military clashes, such as in the 12th century during the war of Milan against Como, which saw the Como fleet in action against the ships of the Milanese and their allies or between 1525 and 1532 due to the Musso war unleashed by Gian Giacomo Medici.
On 28 April 1945, deposed Italian dictator Benito Mussolini was executed in the lakeside village of Giulino, about 180 metres (590 ft) from the waterfront.
Tourism
As a tourist destination, Lake Como is popular for its landscapes, wildlife, and spas. It is a venue for sailing, windsurfing, and kitesurfing.
Although generally considered safe, bathers aiming to find relief from the heat and swimming enthusiasts alike should exercise caution, as a prevailing regulation prohibits diving and swimming both in the city of Como and in the various small villages along the lake. Exceptions are found only in privately managed lidos or designated public beaches where explicit signage permits swimming activities. This prohibition stems from the danger posed by the lake's waters that swiftly transition from shallow to deep near the shoreline and from unpredictable aquatic conditions, which have led to numerous incidents, including drowning cases attributed to sudden thermal shock.
Transportation
Lake Como is served by a public transport system connecting the various villages on the lake. A motorized service began in 1826 when a steamship with sails, the Lario, was launched by the newly established Società privilegiata per l'impresa dei battelli a vapore nel Regno Lombardo Veneto. Since 1952 the fleet has been managed by a government organisation named Gestione Commissariale Governativa and later Gestione Governativa Navigazione Laghi, which is also responsible for transport services on Lake Maggiore and Lake Garda.
There exist three primary services:
Motorship services along the western branch and north towards Colico and back to Como, with additional shuttles to the mid-lake area;
Fast services that broadly follow the same route but with fewer stops; the service, which is more expensive, is operated by hydrofoils;
Ferries able to carry passengers and cars across the popular tourist destinations Menaggio, Bellagio,Varenna and Cadenabbia.
Economy
Lake Como attracts visitors from around the world and as a consequence the economy of the towns surrounding Lake Como is predominantly dependent on tourism and related activities. The tourism sector stimulates local businesses, including hospitality, restaurants and retail, while also fostering the growth of ancillary services such as transportation, cultural tours and recreational activities. This reliance on tourism has led to significant investments in infrastructure and amenities to accommodate and enhance the visitor experience, making it a vital component of the regional economy.
In literature and the arts
Letitia Elizabeth Landon's poem The Lake of Como was published in Fisher's Drawing Room Scrap Book, in 1837. It illustrates a painting by Samuel Prout, engraved by William Miller.
In 1818 Percy Bysshe Shelley wrote to Thomas Love Peacock: "This lake exceeds anything I ever beheld in beauty, except the arbutus islands of Killarney. It is long and narrow, and has the appearance of a mighty river winding among the mountains and the forests."

Tremezzo is a comune (or municipality) of some 1,300 people in the Province of Como, in the Italian region Lombardy. It is one of I Borghi più belli d'Italia ("The most beautiful villages of Italy").
It is located on the western shore of Lake Como between Mezzegra to the southwest and Griante to the northeast, and about 20 kilometres (12 mi) from Como. Tremezzo, which has an area of 8.4 square kilometres (3.2 sq mi), also borders the territory of the following communes: Lenno (south and west of Mezzegra), Menaggio (north of Griante), Grandola ed Uniti (inland from Menaggio) and, on the facing shore of the lake, Bellagio and Lezzeno.
As well as the capoluogo of Tremezzo, the area of the commune includes the frazione Rogaro, birthplace of the architect Pietro Lingeri.
Tremezzo is best known as a tourist resort—it was a favourite of Konrad Adenauer—and for its villas, of which the most famous is the Villa Carlotta with its much-admired gardens, and Villa Sola-Busca. The Brentano family hails from the Tremezzo, in the 17th century the family relocated to the Free City of Frankfurt. Members of the family include 19th century German Romanticist novelist Clemens Brentano and his sister Bettina von Arnim.
The comune of Tremezzo was united with Mezzegra, Ossuccio, and Lenno to form a single municipality named Tremezzina following the election of the Major on 25 May 2014.

Der Comer See (Schweizer Schreibweise Comersee, italienisch Lago di Como oder Lario, lombardisch Lagh de Comm; lateinisch Lacus Larius) ist einer der oberitalienischen Seen. Er liegt vollständig in der Region Lombardei.
Charakteristisch sind die zahlreichen am Ufer liegenden kleinen Dörfer, von denen viele ihren eigenen Charakter bis heute erhalten haben. Viele der Villen (u. a. Villa Carlotta, Villa d’Este) stammen aus dem 15. Jahrhundert, als die Bewohner der Region durch die Seidenraupenzucht und die dadurch entstandene Seidenindustrie zu Reichtum gelangten. Während der Zeit Napoleons erbaute der Vizepräsident der italienischen Republik (1802–1805) Francesco Melzi d’Eril die Villa Melzi.
Durch das mediterrane Klima gedeihen viele subtropische Pflanzen wie z. B. Palmen, Zitrusfrüchte, Zypressen und Olivenbäume.
Geografie
Der Comer See, von den Einheimischen auch Lario genannt, ist 146 km² groß, 51 km lang und maximal 4,2 km breit. Damit ist er nach dem Gardasee und dem Lago Maggiore, gemessen an der Wasserfläche, der drittgrößte See Italiens. Mit einer durch seine charakteristische Form bedingten Uferlinie von 170 km übertrifft er die beiden vorgenannten Seen in diesem Punkt. Seine maximale Tiefe – vor Nesso – beträgt 425 m; damit ist er der tiefste See Europas außerhalb Norwegens.
Der Comer See wird von der Adda durchflossen. Er liegt in einem Zungenbecken des ehemaligen Addagletschers, das sich vor der Alta Brianza in die Arme von Como und Lecco teilt, und hat so die Form eines (umgekehrten) Y. Die Adda mündet bei Colico in den nördlichen Teil des Sees und verlässt ihn bei Lecco; der südwestliche Arm, an dem Como liegt, hat keinen anderen Abfluss.
Die einzige Insel im Comer See ist die etwa 7,5 ha große Isola Comacina. Sie war bereits in der Antike besiedelt, nach Zerstörung der Siedlungen im 12. Jahrhundert durch Truppen Comos aber lange unbewohnt.
Tourismus
Der Comer See ist ein Touristenziel mit zahlreichen Kurorten, Parks und Golfplätzen. Auf seiner Westseite liegt der Sacro Monte di Ossuccio, der 2003 in die Liste der Weltkulturerbe der UNESCO aufgenommen wurde. Die umliegenden Berge bieten Wander- und Klettermöglichkeiten. Durch das milde Klima gibt es eine reiche Vegetation. Jährlich im Frühjahr findet das Oldtimerevent Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este statt.
Prominente wie George Clooney besitzen ein Feriendomizil am Comer See. Dieser dient immer wieder als Filmkulisse, beispielsweise wurde hier für Star Wars: Episode II, Casino Royale oder Ocean’s 12 gedreht.
Der deutsche Bundeskanzler Konrad Adenauer (1876–1967) verbrachte dort auf seinem Anwesen in Cadenabbia viel Zeit. Nach der Niederlegung seines Amtes, kurz vor seinem Tod, schrieb er dort einen großen Teil seiner Memoiren. Die 1899 erbaute Villa La Collina mit ihrem Park wird seit 1977 als internationale Tagungsstätte von der Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung genutzt.
Schifffahrt
Täglich fahren mehrere Boote zwischen Como und Colico, des Weiteren gibt es verschiedene Routen zwischen Como und Lecco oder Menaggio und Como bzw. Lecco. Es existiert eine Fährverbindung zwischen Lierna, Varenna, Menaggio und Bellagio.
Wassersport
Zwischen Bellagio und Colico herrscht ein reges Treiben von Wassersportlern, da dort zuverlässige Windverhältnisse herrschen.
Laut Berichten aus dem Jahr 2010 lässt die Wasserqualität an gewissen Stellen (durch fehlende Kläranlagen) zu wünschen übrig.
Windverhältnisse
Außer im Winter weht im oberen Teil des Comer Sees praktisch täglich ein thermischer Wind, die Breva. Am Morgen beginnt der Wind etwa ab 10 Uhr mit 1 bis 3 Bft und frischt am Nachmittag auf 3 bis 6 Bft auf. Juni bis September sind die besten Monate zum Wind- und Kitesurfen. Im Oktober lässt die Breva nach, um dann bis Anfang Februar ganz einzuschlafen.
Der Südwind Breva hat seinen Gegenpart im nördlichen Fallwind Tivano, der bei großem Luftdruckunterschied zwischen der nördlichen und der südlichen Seite der Alpen entsteht. Der Tivano weht bereits am frühen Morgen und ist oft stärker als die Breva, am stärksten in der Region von Lecco. Im Süden des Sees, im Larian-Dreieck, dem Gebiet zwischen den beiden Seearmen, bietet auch er gute Voraussetzungen zum Wind- und Kitesurfen.

Tremezzina ist eine italienische Gemeinde mit 5027 Einwohnern (Stand 31. Dezember 2022) in der Provinz Como in der Region Lombardei und Mitglied der Gesellschaft I borghi più belli d’Italia (dt. „Die schönsten Orte Italiens“).
Geographie
Die Gemeinde liegt am Fuße des Monte di Tremezzo (1700 m s.l.m.). Zur Gemeinde gehören die am See gelegenen und vom internationalen Tourismus geprägten Ortsteile Tremezzo, Mezzegra, Lenno und Ossuccio.
Die Nachbargemeinden sind: Griante, Grandola ed Uniti, Menaggio, Perledo (LC), Plesio, San Siro, Varenna (LC) und Bellagio und Ponna.
Gemeindefusion
Tremezzina war eine Gemeinde in der italienischen Provinz Como. Sie entstand im Jahre 1928 aus dem Zusammenschluss der drei Gemeinden Lenno, Mezzegra und Tremezzo. Benannt wurde sie nach der Landschaft Tremezzina, einer Region im Westen des Comer Sees.
In der Gemeinde lebten zu jener Zeit 4242 Einwohner (Stand: 1936). Nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs wurde sie 1947 aufgelöst und die drei Gründungsgemeinden wurden wieder selbständig.
Am 4. Februar 2014 wurde die Gemeinde Tremezzina durch einen Zusammenschluss der Gemeinden Lenno, Mezzegra, Tremezzo sowie Ossuccio neuerlich gegründet. In diesen vier Gemeinden fand am 1. Dezember 2013 ein nicht bindendes Referendum statt, bei dem sich 63 % der Wähler für einen Zusammenschluss der Gemeinden aussprachen. Zuvor waren vorgenannte Gemeinden gemeinsam mit der Nachbargemeinde Griante in dem Gebietszusammenschluss Unione die Comuni della Tremezzina organisiert. Letztgenannte wurde indes nicht Teil der neugegründeten Gemeinde.
Die Gemeinde gehört zur Comunità Montana del Lario Intelvese und wurde im Jahre 2014 neu gebildet, nachdem sie bereits in den Jahren 1928 bis 1947 unter diesem Namen bestanden hatte.

The word Allah
The Semitic language which is spoken in the celestial spheres, is the language in which the angels and God address each other. Adam Safi-Allah spoke the same language in paradise. Adam and eve then came into the world and settled in Arabia. Their children also spoke the same language. Then as a result of the descendants of Adam spreading in the world, this language passed from Arabic, Persian, Latin and into English and God was then known by different names in the different languages. As Adam lived in Arabia, there are many words of the Semitic language which are still found in the Arabic language. God addressed the Prophets, Adam as Adam Safi-Allah, Noah as Nuh Nabi-Allah, Abraham as Ibraheem Khalil-Allah, Moses as Musa Kalim-Allah, Jesus as I’sa Ruh-Allah and Mohammed Rasul-Allah. All these titles, in the Semitic language were written on the Tablet before the arrival of the Prophets. This is why the Prophet Mohammed said: “I was a Prophet even before I came in to this world.”
Many people believe that the word Allah is a name given by Muslims, this is not so.
The Prophet Mohammed’s fathers name was Abd-Allah, at a time when Islam did not exist. Prior to the advent of Islam the Name Allah was announced with the title of every Prophet. When the souls were created, the first Name on their tongue was Allah and when the soul entered the body of Adam, it said, Ya-Allah, and only then it entered the body. Many religions understand this enigma and chant the Name Allah and many others because of doubt are deprived of the Name.
Any name which is used to point towards God is worthy of respect.
In other words, which points towards God. The mystical effect of the Name of God has been diversified due to the different names. Every letter of the alphabet has a separate numeric value. This is also a celestial knowledge. All the numeric values are connected with all of the human race. Occasionally the numeric values do not agree with the astronomical calculations as a result of which people become afflicted. Many people go to astrologers and experts of this knowledge and have charts prepared based on the stars. They name their children on this basis.
Just as the letters (a, b, j, d,) (1, 2, 3, 4) when added have the numerical value of ten. Similarly every name has a separate numeric value. As God has been given so many different names, this has caused a conflict between the numeric value of the different names. If all the people called upon God by the same name, then despite the fact that they would all have separate religions, they would all be united inwardly. They too, like Nanak Sahib and Baba Farid would then say:
“All the souls have been created by the light of God, even though their environment and communities are separate.”
The angels that are assigned tasks in the world are also taught the languages of the people of the world.
It is important for the people of every Prophet that they recite, chant and affirm the Title of their Prophet which was granted by God to the Prophet at his time, for the recognition, spiritual grace and purification of his people. The recital and affirmation should be in the same method and in the language of their Prophet.
The entry of any individual into any religion is subject to the condition that the individual accepts and affirms the Title of the Prophet of that religion. Just as the affirmation and the verbal vows are a condition of any marriage.
Entry into the heavens has been made subject to the acceptance and affirmation of the Titles of the Prophets. In the western world many Muslims and Christians have no knowledge of their Prophet’s Title furthermore many do not even know their Prophets original name (in the original language of the Prophet.)
People who only verbalize the affirmation of their Prophet’s Title rely upon their good deeds. Those that reject and do not affirm their Prophet’s Title are refused entry to paradise. Those individuals in whose hearts the affirmation of their Prophet’s Title has descended (entered) they will enter paradise without any accountability.
The revealed celestial Scriptures, whichever language they are in so long as they are in the original form, are a means to finding God. Where the texts and the translations that have been adulterated, just as adulterated flour is harmful for the stomach, the adulterated books have become harmful and people of the same religion and the same of Prophet have divided into so many sects.
To be sure of the straight and guided path it is better that you are guided by the Light (of God) also.
The method of producing light.
In prehistoric times stones would be rubbed together to make fire. Whereas a spark can also be produced by rubbing two metals together. In a similar way electricity is made from water. Similarly by the friction of the blood inside the human body, in other words electric energy is produced by the vibrating heartbeat. In every human being there is present, approximately one and a half volts of electricity due to which the body is energetic. As the heartbeat slows in old age, this reduces the electricity in the body and this in turn also causes a reduction of the energy level in the body.
Firstly, the heartbeat has to be made vibrant and pronounced. Some do this by dancing, some by sports and exercise and some people try to do this by meditating and chanting the Name of God Allah.
When the heartbeat becomes vibrant and pronounced then by chanting the Name Allah try to synchronize it with every heartbeat. Alternatively try to synchronize Allah with one heartbeat and Hu with the other. Some time by placing your hand on the heart and when you feel your heartbeat, again try to synchronize the Name Allah by chanting it with the rythm of the heartbeat and imagine that the Name Allah is entering the heart.
The chanting of Allah Hu is better and more effective but if anyone has an objection, or a fear of chanting Hu, then instead of being deprived one should solely use the Name Allah, repetitively in the chanting. It is beneficial for people who chant and practice this discipline and who read mantras to physically remain as clean as possible as the:
“disrespectful are unfulfilled and the respectful are fulfilled.”
The first method for producing light.
Write Allah on a paper in black ink, and do this exercise for as long as you wish on a daily basis. Soon thereafter, the Word Allah will be transported from the paper and hover over the eyes. Then with one-pointed concentration, attempt to transport the word from the eyes to the heart.
The second method for producing light.
Write Allah on a zero watt bulb, in yellow. Whilst you are awake or just before sleep, concentrate and try to absorb it into the eyes. When it appears on the eyes then try to transport it to the heart.
The third method for producing light.
This method is for those people who have perfect spiritual guides and teachers and who due to their spiritual connection are spiritually assisted by them.
Sit alone and imagine that your index finger is a pen. Using your finger and with your concentration, attempt to write Allah on your heart. Call upon your spiritual teacher (spiritually), so that he too may, hold your finger, and write Allah on your heart. Continue to do this exercise everyday, until you see Allah written on your heart.
By the first and second method, the Name Allah becomes inscribed on the heart, just as it was written and seen by you but when it becomes synchronized with the heartbeat, then it slowly starts to shine. In the synchronized method, the assistance of the spiritual teacher is provided and for this reason it is seen shining and well written on the heart right from the beginning.
Many Prophets and Saints have come into the world, and just for the sake of testing this, if you feel it appropriate, concentrate or call upon all of them when you are practicing your meditation.
Whilst concentrating on any Prophet or Saint, during your meditating practice, if the rhythm of your heartbeat increases, in its vibration or you feel an improvement then this means that your destiny (spiritual fruits) lies with that Prophet or Saint.
Thereafter it is beneficial to concentrate on that same person whenever you practice your meditation as spiritual grace is transferred in this way, because every Saint is spiritually connected to a Prophet, even if that Prophet is not physically living.
The spiritual fruit (grace) of every illuminated person is in the hands of one Saint or another. It is essential that the Saint is living. Sometimes a very fortunate person is gifted with celestial spiritual grace by a perfect Saint who is not living, but this is very rare. However Saints not living in our human realm can provide worldly spiritual grace and assistance to people from their tombs. This is known as Owaisi spiritual grace.
The recipients of such spiritual grace often get entangled in their spiritual insights, visions and dreams because the spiritual guide providing the assistance is in the spiritual realm and so too is Satan and the recognition of the two becomes difficult.
Along with the spiritual grace it is important to have knowledge, for which a living Saint is more appropriate. If a person (Saint) possesses spiritual grace but is without knowledge, that person is known as a Majzoob (Godly but abstracted due to the complete absorption into the Essence of God and who is not in full control of his faculties).
A person (Saint) having spiritual grace and knowledge is known as a Mehboob (literally, loved one). Such people (Saints) as a result of their knowledge provide worldly spiritual assistance as well as spiritual grace and benefit. Whereas the Majzoobs are known to provide worldly spiritual assistance to people by their unusual but accepted practices of shouting obscenities and poking people with their wooden sticks.
If any (Prophet or Saint) appears but does not help or assist you then put Gohar Shahi to the test.
You may belong to any religion, there is no condition in this respect as long as the individual is not eternally ill-fated.
Many people have received the spiritual grace of Qalb meditation from the Moon. This is obtained when there is a full Moon from the East. Look at it with concentration and when you see the image of Gohar Shahi on it say Allah, Allah, Allah three times and you will be blessed with this spiritual grace. Thereafter without any fear or reservation practice the meditation as described.
Believe (the fact) that the image on the Moon has spoken to many people in many different languages. You can try looking and speaking to it also.
About Muraqba
(transcendental meditation)
(Literally. journey. Meditation in which the soul leaves the human body)
Many people without having acquired the illumination of the spiritual entities (‘Lata’if/Shaktian’) and without attaining spiritual strength and prowess try to engage in this meditation. They either fail to reach the meditative state or become the subject of Satanic interference. This type of meditation is for illuminated people, whose spiritual entity of the self has been purified and the Qalb has been cleansed. The practice or attempt at this type of meditation is foolish no matter what type of physical worship is used to achieve this. To collect and gather the strength of the soul and the spiritual entities and then to travel to a place is what is known as meditation.
Sainthood is the one fourtieth part of Prophecy.
Every dream, meditative journey, inspiration or revelation of a Prophet is accurate and authentic and does not need verification. Only fourty out of a hundred dreams, meditative journeys, inspirations and revelations of Saints are accurate the remaining sixty percent are inaccurate.
God cannot be understood without knowledge
The lowest type of meditative journey is started only after the illumination and awakening of the spiritual entity of the Qalb. This is impossible without first achieving the meditation of the Qalb (meditation with the vibrating heartbeat synchronized with the Name Allah). It takes one jerk or shake to bring the person out of this meditative state and back to consciousness. The faculty of the augury (foretelling the future by reading verses or looking into designated books) is also connected to the Qalb.
The next stage is the meditative journey of the soul. It takes three jerks or shakes to return a person back to normality from this meditative state.
The third stage of the meditative journey is done by the spiritual entity, Anna and the soul together. The soul travels along with the spiritual entity Anna, to the realm of souls just as the Archangel Gabriel accompanied the Prophet Mohammed to the realm of souls.
People who are in this meditative state are sometimes even taken to be buried in their graves and they are unaware of this happening to them. Such a meditative state and journey was taken by the “Companions of the Cave” as a result of which they remained asleep in the cave for more than three hundred years.
When this meditative state and journey was undertaken by the Sheikh, Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani, in the jungle, the occupants of the jungle would regard the Sheikh as dead and would take him to a grave for burial but the meditative journey would break just before the burial (the Sheikh would return to consciousness).
How to recognize a special inspiration and revelation from God.
When a person has awakened and illuminated the spiritual entities in the chest and is worthy of receiving the rays of the Grace of God, then at that point God communicates with that person. God is All-Powerful and can do as he pleases and thus communicate with the human being in any way fit, but he has made a special method for his recognition so that his friends can be saved from the deception of Satan.
Firstly, text in the Semitic language appears on the seekers heart and its translation is seen in the language of the seekers mother-tongue. The text is white and shiny and the eyes close automatically and look at the text (internally). The text then passes the Qalb and moves towards the spiritual entity Sirri as a result of which it shines even more. Then the text moves towards the spiritual entity, Akhfa and from here it shines more and then moves onto the tongue. The voice then spontaneously starts to repeat that text.
If this inspiration is from Satan then an illuminated heart will dull the text and if the text is strong and prominent then the spiritual entities Sirri or Akhfa destroy that text. Further if due to the weakness of the spiritual entities the text does arrive at the tongue, then the voice will prevent it from being spoken into words.
This type of inspiration is for special types of Saints, whereas in respect of ordinary Saints, God sends messages to them through the angels or other spiritual entities. When the Archangel Gabriel accompanies the special and inspired text, this is known as revelation which is confined to the Prophets.

Programming language share of sell through, per Neilsen Bookscan, from January 2003 through mid-June 2005.
The Italian language is fascinating. Even mundane things sound better in Italian, such as this car's name, simply called 'four door'. You couldn't do that in English. Or German (Vier Türen). Maybe in Spanish (Cuatro Puertas).
Regardless, pictured here is the fourth generation of the Fourdoor, introduced in 1994 but actually based on the Biturbo that first saw light in the early 1980s. About 2.400 copies were built until 2001, with six- or eight-cylinder engines producing between 284 and 326 PS depending on the version.
This generation was attractively styled if a bit restrained for Italian standards. This particular car appears to be in good condition, finished in an attractive blue (or is that grey?).
