No hemos acabado con este extraño 2014 y ya tenemos a varios de los grandes preparando su alineación de cara a la próxima temporada. A Radiohead, probablemente Metallica y quién sabe si Tool va a sumarse don Steven Wilson, la figura más impactante en el mundo del Rock Progresivo, figura que no solo se alimenta por su labor estrictamente como músico sino que se engrandece por su empeño en volver a poner en vigencia a muchos de los clásicos que el prog nos regaló en los setenta.
Y claro, una vez nos ha metido en el zurrón a un clásico como The Power and the Glory de los infravalorados Gentle Giant y ha mezclado discos como Pale Communion o Distant Satellites de Anathema, Steven Wilson nos pide que hagamos sitio a su cuarto disco en solitario, disco que anuncia para inicios de 2015 y al cual, por supuesto, estaremos muy atentos en esta casa.
Recording of the follow up album to 'The Raven that Refused To Sing' starts this month (with the same band line-up).
— Steven Wilson (@StevenWilsonHQ) agosto 2, 2014
El prolífico músico londinense ya había anunciado en mayo de este año que estaba trabajando en su nuevo disco, pero fue ayer, a través de las Redes Sociales que confirmaba la entrada al estudio de grabación este mismo mes de agosto, confirmando el mismo line up que ya le ayudó con el impresionante The Raven That Refused to Sing, anuncios publicados quizás por la alegría de leer que su última obra era considerada la novena mejor en la historia del Rock Progresivo por parte de la famosa publicación Prog Rock Mag.
En su último mensaje en twitter Steven Wilson nos invitaba a permanecer atentos pues en breve nos daría más detalles al respecto de, desde ya, uno de los discos más esperados de cara al año que viene. Y lo estaremos, y os informaremos convenientemente.

A rare Candon scroll console table
Estimate: PHP 120,000 - 140,000
Last quarter, 19th century
Candon, Ilocos Sur
Red narra
90 x 98 x 51 cm (35 1/2 x 38 1/2 x 20 in)
Provenance:
Formerly from the heirs of Josefa Abaya of Candon City
In furniture, the Late Classical style popular in Europe in 1835-1850 is known as the Pillar and Scroll style in America. It is characterized by C- and S-curves that were cut into pillars and scrolls as primary visual element. This pair of console tables, offered in separate lots, was influenced by this style as it reached the Philippines decades later. It looks stately and elegant, and one is immediately drawn to the curvaceous scroll supports decorated with turned bosses, and the shapely foliated scroll ornament to the 3-inch thick lower shelf. The corniced double top is attenuated at the bottom and widens to the top, the same archetypal shape found in the Ilocos comoda de poste. The table stands on claw feet at the front. When found in situ, these tables on which the family’s venerated santos were enshrined, sat at either side of the door leading to one of the bedrooms.
Josefa Abaya is a descendant of local hero Isabelo Abaya (1854 - 1900), who despite being from a prominent and rich family founded Espiritu de Candon, the revolutionary faction of the Katipunan in Ilocos Sur. He led the 'Cry of Candon' in 1898 which drove the Spaniards away and declared a free Republic of Candon, less than three months before the declaration of the Philippine Independence in June 1898. He is now recognized as one of the founders of Candon, the tobacco capital of the Philippines.

SOPAC 2.0 in TextMate. I've been using Vim for about 10 years now in console mode. But I really would like to start doing cut-and-paste in a real window (yes, in some ways I'm still stuck in the 1980s). Never really liking GVim or BBEdit, I've been searching around for the right editor and I think I may have found it in TextMate. It's not free ($65), but I really, really like it. I also need to learn all of its in-and-outs and I do miss Vim a little which is a familiar old friend. I kinda feel a little guilty, like I'm cheating on it.
That's called Geek Angst.
Honest Eyes by Melissa Ferrick
Well if there's a way
N' if there's something
That you want to hear me say
If there's a little hope
Somewhere inside you for us both
Would you please reconsider
This drastic means of giving in
To our givings
Would you please take my hand
N' help me understand
What the problem is
(Chorus)
I think we've got to
Look at each other with honest eyes
Got to tell each other how we feel
Leave nothing inside
Give me your heart
And I will give you mine
But first we've got to start with
Honest eyes
Maybe you could direct me
To the right - the right
train of thought
Because you see I don't
think that I am on it
'Cause it's foggy down here
I'm along and I'm scared
All I can hear is
Your beating heart
Your beating heart
Your beating heart
(Chorus)
Well if there's a way
Yes n' if there is hope
Would you please reconsider
Would you please reconsider
Reconsider

YAYA seriously . you can blame me for making you do it but just do it. i shall have a good time reading it and knowing you all. But i tag more then 10 coz i'm allowed to ! :P
How to play:
Tell your readers 10 things about you that they may or may not know, but are true. Tag ten people and be sure to let them know they’ve been tagged (a quick message will do). Don’t forget to link back to the person who tagged you
If someone i tagged is not going to do this, well then i'm stalking you !! SERIOUS! NO JOKE !
Went for a lonely wander tonight, i remembered hearing on the radio that there looking at closing the wheel down.
About:
The controversial Wheel of Perth, which has rotated on the city foreshore since January 2009, will shut down.
Perth Lord Mayor Lisa Scaffidi announced the attraction, which has polarised opinion since being installed, will stop spinning on May 2.
"Our much-loved big Ferris wheel will actually be packing up and shipped out", she told radio 6PR.
Mrs Scaffidi said the tourist attraction's popularity - or lack thereof - was not the reason for the wheel's shutdown.
"And contrary to what a lot of people might be thinking, that it hasn't been busy enough, that is not the reason."
She said the wheel's operators were seeking a longer contract than the City of Perth was able to give them due to the foreshore redevelopment project starting immediately after the Commonwealth Heads Of Government Meeting at the end of next year.
"We have been in discussions with the operators for the last three weeks on a more permanent site for the wheel," she said.
"They require an area where it could be installed using concrete pylons. It would be a different wheel to the one that is there now but of a similar size.
"So while the discussions are still continuing, the mobile wheel as we now know it will be removed."
Mrs Scaffidi said the mobile wheel was almost twice the cost of a fixed wheel, but the operators said that it was not being used at its full capacity.
The company wanted to bring a slightly smaller, permanent wheel to Perth but had made it clear that there wasn't a preferred location other than around the Barrack Street Jetty.
Mrs Scaffidi defended the $10 million cost of the ferris wheel, which took advantage of a $1 a year peppercorn rental agreement for the wheel's operators for the prime location it occupies next to the Bell Tower.
"We were not giving away the chance to make money, we were doing the best we could for the Barrack Jetty businesspeople", Mrs Scaffidi said.
"They have had a tough time because of the distance to the city."
Mrs Scaffidi said staff operating the Wheel of Perth had been notified that they would be made redundant.
Thousands demonstrated on Friday in Tahrir Square, demanding public trial of Mubarak, his interior ministry Habib el-Adly, and other regime figures.
The square and the surrounding streets since early morning have been emptied from all police and military presence. Most of the established political forces, most notably the Muslim Brothers, did not take part in the demonstrations.
The families of the martyrs were present, and demanded speedy trials of the police murderers, as it's becoming clear day by day that they will get away with what they did. More shockingly, most police officers who are currently undergoing trial still hold their positions (or have been promoted)! Demonstrators also denounced the brutal police crackdown on the protests in the square on Tuesday night and Wednesday.
Protesters marched, in solidarity with the detainees, by 4pm on the ministerial cabinet headquarters and the interior ministry. Policemen from inside the interior ministry's compound threw rocks and were making provocative gestures with their hands. Protesters responded by rocks and a shower of insults and chants against both the military and the police.
I've heard very strong chants, demanding the execution of Mubarak, Adly and Field Marshal Tantawi. While some are staging a sit in at the moment, others will resume protesting on Saturday, in the run up to the mass protests planned next Friday 8 July.
About the shot
This was taken during my last Edinburgh Zoo shoot as a non-member. Expect many more photos once I get my membership card. The Capybaras (world's largest rodent) were much more active than I'd ever seen them. After a quick dip in the water, two of them jumped about together. One was pursuing the other more enthusiastically but I wasn't sure if they were siblings playing or if it was perhaps mating/bonding behaviour. The one with its back to the wall was basically saying "go away" I think. :-)
The title comes from the new T-Mobile commercial. If you haven't seen it you must watch it. If this "flash mob" doesn't make you smile, then nothing will.
About Capybaras
Capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris), also known as capibara, chigüire in Venezuela, chigüiro, and carpincho in Spanish, and capivara in Portuguese, is the largest living rodent in the world. It is related to agouti, chinchillas, coyphillas, and guinea pigs. Its common name, derived from Kapiÿva in the Guarani language, means "master of the grasses", while its scientific name, hydrochaeris, is Greek for "water hog".
Though now extinct, there once existed a larger capybara called Neochoerus pinckneyi. Other fossil rodents that were eight times the size of modern capybaras (larger than a grizzly bear) have been informally called "capybaras" but were actually dinomyids related to the pacarana. There is also a "lesser capybara", Hydrochoerus isthmius.
Capybaras are social animals, usually found in groups, between 10 and 30 (though larger groups of up to 100 sometimes can be formed), controlled by a dominant male (who will have a prominent scent gland on his nose used for smearing his scent on the grasses in his territory.) They communicate through a combination of scent and sound, being very vocal animals with purrs and alarm barks, whistles and clicks, squeals and grunts.
Capybaras are excellent swimmers and can survive completely underwater for up to five minutes, an ability they will use to evade predators. If necessary, a Capybara can sleep underwater, keeping its nose just at the waterline. During midday, as temperatures increase, Capybaras wallow in water to keep cool and then graze in late afternoons and early evenings. They sleep little, usually dozing off and on throughout the day and grazing into and through the night.

Ci ho messo quasi un mese a trovare il coraggio di scrivere. Quel che c'era, ormai non c'è più. Che ci fosse di preciso non lo so nemmeno io. Perchè è vero, ho fatto tutto di testa mia. Sono partito di testa, un'allucinazione sentimentale mi ha fatto credere che ci fosse qualcosa che non c'è.
Avevo capito che la cosa non era reciproca, ma sai, so raccontarla talmente bene che sono stato vittima della mia stessa arte. Non so per quale stupido motivo, ma pensavo che... magari. E invece no, ho dovuto sentirmelo dire a voce, per permettere ad un telefono di riportarmi sulla terra ferma.
Per quanto faccia male, per quanto mi secchi usare la terapia del distacco per dimenticarti sotto certi punti di vista, io non ce l'ho con te. Perchè se la scintilla non s'è innescata non ci sono ragioni che tengano. E' così, così e basta. Lo condivido totalmente, lo capisco. Per quanto mi piacerebbe avere questo potere sul genere umano, non ce l'ho.
Certo, non è facile, ma tant'è. All'inizio faceva più male di quanto ne faccia ora, ma a qualcosa è servito. Mi sono permesso di vivere emozioni che di solito freno, per paura di quello che sarà dopo. Che poi sarebbe quello che vivo adesso. Disillusione, tristezza, melancolia, sfiducia, apatia, silenzio.
Perchè anche se mi piacerebbe tantissimo e viva nell'illusione di trovarti, non ci crederò mai del tutto. Forse sei solo un'ideale, un'ispirazione che non ha incarnato. Non posso farci niente, sebbene mi sia permesso di pensare al concetto di "noi", a prescindere da te, in fondo sento sempre che non accadrà. Non c'entri tu. E non è pessimismo, è fare i conti con la realtà. La mia storia, le mie storie, ciò che ho vissuto e non vissuto, non me lo consentono.
Un po' però mi manchi, e al momento non riesco a capire se sia un bene o un male.

See http://www.iucnredlist.org/search/details.php/7961/all, the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. The Przewalski's Horse is extinct in the wild and only maintained through captive breeding programmes.
Here is an extract from the IUCN site regarding this species:
Equus ferus ssp. przewalskii – Extinct in the Wild
Extract from Wakefield et al. 2002, pp. 83-84: "Since the ‘rediscovery’ of the Przewalski’s Horse for western science, western zoos and wild animal parks became interested in this species for their collections. Several long expeditions were mounted to catch animals. Some expeditions came back empty handed and some had only seen a glimpse of Przewalski’s Wild Horse. It proved difficult to catch adult horses, because they were too shy and fast. Capture of foals, with possible killing of the adult harem members, was considered the only option (Bouman and Bouman 1994). Four capture expeditions that managed to catch live foals took place between 1897 and 1902. Fifty three of these foals reached the west alive. Between the 1930s and the 1940s only a few Przewalski’s Horses were caught and most died. At least one mare was crossbred with domestic horses by the Mongolian War Ministry. One mare (Orliza III), particularly through her son Bars, was of great importance to breeding in the west (Bouman and Bouman 1994).
Small groups of horses were reported through the 1940s and 1950s in an area between the Baitak-Bogdo ridge and the ridge of the Takhin-Shara-Nuru (which, translated from Mongolian, means "the Yellow Mountain of the Wild Horse), but numbers appeared to decline dramatically after World War II. A number of causes have been cited for the final extinction of Przewalski’s horses. Among these are significant cultural and political changes (Bouman and Bouman 1994), hunting (Zhao and Liang 1992, Bouman and Bouman 1994), military activities (Ryder 1993), climatic change (Sokolov et al. 1992), and competition with livestock and increasing land use pressure (Sokolov et al. 1992, Ryder 1993, Bouman and Bouman 1994). Capture expeditions probably diminished the remaining Przewalski’s Horse populations by killing and dispersing the adults (S. Dulamtseren in Van Dierendonck and de Vries 1996). The harsh winters in 1945, 1948, and 1956 probably had an additional impact on the small population (Bouman and Bouman 1994). Increased pressure on, and rarity of waterholes in their last refuge should also be considered as a significant factor contributing to their extinction (Van Dierendonck and de Vries 1996).
The last confirmed sighting in the wild was made in 1969 by the Mongolian scientist N. Dovchin. He saw a stallion near a spring called Gun Tamga, north of the Tachin-Shara-Nuru, in the Dzungarian Gobi (Paklina and Pozdnyakova 1989). Annual investigations by the Joint Mongolian-Soviet Expedition have since failed to find conclusive evidence for their survival in the wild (Ryder 1990). Chinese biologists conducted a survey in northeastern Xinjiang from 1980 to 1982 (covering the area of 88–90° E and 41°31'–47°10' N) without finding any horses (Gao and Gu 1989). The last wild populations have almost certainly disappeared."
Listen, at first you said I do, but now it's I did,
Said together we should live, now your mad with time we spend,
Used to be jealous of my friends, and fill my weekends,
But, now your off for pastimes,
Playin' games with my mind,
Your layin' the blame in my lap, but delaying laying in our bed,
Yo, I meant what I said when you weren't listening, and I'm not saying it again

TRUTH #1003
I TRY TO LEARN SOMETHING NEW EVERYDAY
Today I was caught off guard by something (more like someone)
But I proud of myself for the way I responded to it.
I could have very easily made a huge mistake.
And It's funny that right after all this happened we both laughed it off
As if it was all just a test.
This whole month feels like it's been this huge test. I've been so busy lately,
but I'm sure it'll all be worth it in the end
The Stadium Business Summit 2023 at Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester. Picture by Paul Heyes, Wednesday June 28, 2023.
I wonder how long before we can look back an laugh at having to sign up to iffy-Wifi spots when travelling. It was actually pretty good once you got past the strange login.
Opened in 1931, John's Modern Cabins seemed to have begun life as a disreputable juke joint known as Bill and Bess' Place (with a sweet name like that, it wasn't known for the best apple pies and corn fritters in town? Really?).
At Bill and Bess', where the dance hall was set between six little cabins, a murder took place, serving only to enhance the place's reputation. Eighteen year-old Billie Duncan had separated from her husband, Eugene, almost two weeks before to live with her mother, and he simply wouldn't stand for it. In 1935, on Halloween night, Eugene shot and killed Billie.
After denying the murder, Eugene entered a guilty plea just a week before the trial was supposed to start, and served thirteen years of a 50-year sentence. He died at 60 years old of a heart attack, after remarrying and living what we must presume was a fairly normal life for a Missourian. I wonder if Billie would have liked that opportunity?
Despite its beauty and popularity, the Palace closed in 1978, and unsurprisingly began to crumble. Some of the windows were smashed, the marquee began to rust. Thankfully, it didn't take long for residents to realize that this gem would be lost forever should no one do anything, and in 1983, Cumberland Heritage began making noise about restoring and saving the Palace.
Still, little was done until 1989, when the Palace was listed in David Naylor's "Great American Movie Theatres". Beginning in the 90s, Downtown Crossville, Inc., a group of citizens, began the drive to save what was left of the Palace. The city purchased the property in '93 thanks to DCI's push, and in '94, the National Historic Register added the Palace to its list.
By 1996, the people of Crossville had approved the funding of a bond to restore the Palace so it could be used as a community auditorium. TNDOT also donated over $230,000 to the cause. More importantly (if you ask me), many private corporations donated money, while students and other locals donated their time and bodies for work in the theatre itself.
The Palace had her grand reopening in February of 2001, and the restoration has led to a revival of the entire downtown area where the Palace sits. Today, she hosts debates, fundraisers, music, pageants, various entertainments, and, of course, classic film.
It made me smile to see that the Palace is referred to as a "jewel" and "gem", because that is exactly what I said about it without realizing that's how locals see it. Though not large in stature, she's definitely large in style and class, isn't she?

Las dos principales consolas de la actual generación, Xbox One y PlayStation 4, se presentaron inicialmente durante 2013 con el negro como color principal. Algunos detalles también estuvieron disponibles desde el primer momento con otras tonalidades, pero el cuerpo principal de ambos cacharros se ha mantenido siempre igual. Hasta ahora.
Tanto PS4 como Xbox One tendrán sus ediciones blancas durante este año. La de Sony lo hará bajo una edición especial junto con Destiny y su blanco glaciar; por su parte, la de Microsoft en blanco aún no es oficial, aunque ya ha aparecido en algunas tiendas online: sí, Xbox One terminará llegando en blanco, y casi coincidiendo en tiempo con su compañera y contrincante de batallas.
En el caso de la Xbox One blanca os sonará porque surgió como una edición especial para empleados de Microsoft. Ahora se abriría al público y, como la PS4, también con una edición especial junto con Sunset Overdrive, una exclusividad para las de Microsoft que se especula con que vaya a lanzarse al mercado a finales de octubre. Lo lógico es que el bundle de la Xbox One blanca y Sunset Overdrive también empiece a venderse en esas fechas, claro.
Jugando al ajedrez: negras o blancas, tú elijes
Suele ser muy habitual que las consolas de escritorio se presenten primero en color negro con las salvedades de Nintendo, cuya Wii empezó vendiéndose sólo en blanco, y la Wii U en ambos colores. Tanto Microsoft como Sony han tenido affaires tanto con negro como con blanco, dependiendo del modelo con mayor o menor importancia de uno u otro.
Evidentemente el color de una videoconsola no afecta en absoluto a su rendimiento, pero también es cierto que el blanco suele ser un color muy requerido por los usuarios de tecnología, generalmente por una mera cuestión estética. En el pasado también hemos visto, incluso, ediciones especiales mucho más llamativas que los planos negro o blanco, y seguramente éstas también terminen llegando al mercado tarde o temprano.

Salve Marinera - Diana Navarro
Un día para captar imágenes especiales del Fervor marinero, del cariño de los hombres de la mar y la gran cantidad de pueblos que tienen a esta Virgen como Patrona, como esta serie tomada el año pasado en la Malagueñísima Barriada de el Palo, mañana espero estar en el Rincón de la Victoria para recordar viejos tiempos, y ver como entran los hombres de trono con ella sobre sus hombros en el mar....al atardecer...

Debido a nuestros queridisimos funcionarios públicos, una de las fechas del Free Jazz Festival 2010, que iba a ser realizada en el hermoso Profondo Rosso, en el barrio de Almagro, tuvo que ser suspendida.
Al rato de la frustrante noticia, los músicos decidieron salir a tocar enfrente, en la misma calle (donde se encuentra la sede del SUTERH).
Algunos que pasaban por allí, sorprendidos, pudieron disfrutar de unos minutos de improvisación a cargo de 4 contrabajos y un saxo.
Ha sido una experiencia accidentada, pero no por ello deja de sumar... Argentina necesita muchos más eventos como este, que hecho 100% a pulmón, tuvo que clausurarse.
Pero a pesar de todo, la cultura pudo más.
Para más info del festival, puden visitar la página del evento.
“Un jour d’hiver, comme je rentrais à la maison, ma mère, voyant que j’avais froid, me proposa de me faire prendre, contre mon habitude, un peu de thé. Je refusai d’abord et, je ne sais pourquoi, me ravisai. Elle envoya chercher un de ces gâteaux courts et dodus appelés Petites Madeleines qui semblent avoir été moulés dans la valve rainurée d’une coquille de Saint-Jacques. Et bientôt, machinalement, accablé par la morne journée et la perspective d’un triste lendemain, je portai à mes lèvres une cuillerée du thé où j’avais laissé s’amollir un morceau de madeleine. Mais à l’instant même où la gorgée mêlée des miettes du gâteau toucha mon palais, je tressaillis, attentif à ce qui se passait d’extraordinaire en moi. […]
Et tout d’un coup le souvenir m’est apparu. Ce goût c’était celui du petit morceau de madeleine que le dimanche matin à Combray […] ma tante Léonie m’offrait après l’avoir trempé dans son infusion de thé ou de tilleul. La vue de la petite madeleine m’avait rien rappelé avant que je n’y eusse goûté […]. Mais, quand d’un passé ancien rien ne subsiste, après la mort des êtres, après la destruction des choses, seules, plus frêles mais plus vivaces, plus immatérielles, plus persistantes, plus fidèles, l’odeur et la saveur restent encore longtemps, comme des âmes, à se rappeler, à attendre, à espérer, sur la ruine de tout le reste, à porter sans fléchir, sur leur gouttelette presque impalpable, l’édifice immense du souvenir.
Et dès que j’eus reconnu le goût du morceau de madeleine trempé dans le tilleul que me donnait ma tante […] aussitôt la vieille maison grise sur la rue, où était sa chambre, vint comme un décor de théâtre […] et avec la maison, la ville, la Place où on m’envoyait avant déjeuner, les rues où j’allais faire des courses depuis le matin jusqu’au soir et par tous les temps, les chemins qu’on prenait si le temps était beau […] et les nymphéas de la Vivonne, et les bonnes gens du village et leurs petits logis et l’église et tout Combray et ses environs, tout cela qui prend forme et solidité, est sorti, ville et jardins, de ma tasse de thé.”

Instructions for living a life:
Pay attention.
Be astonished.
Tell about it.
~ from Mary Oliver's "Sometimes" - found in "Red Bird".
40+ years ago I lost touch with my Best Friend in the entire world. Both being military wives we'd made numerous moves across country - both of our fathers had passed away and our mothers each had new married names ... so conventional searching methods were fruitless. About a month ago I was thrilled to finally find my friend - and especially so to find that she was less than two hours away from where I live!
After several weeks of daily writing/chats we finally met again last weekend - and it was if not a single day had passed between us. :-) We've written an article together about our experience and whether or not we have success in publication ... it was fun and rewarding to collaborate with my friend. Rest assured - we will NEVER lose touch again! :-)
