Vivid Sydney - Macquarie Visions
The Vivid Festival ran from May 27 to June 21.
Highlights inclided a light display on Macquarie Street and the return of the fire waters performance at Darling Harbour, a song summit in Sydney and a creative industries X Media Lab.
Last year's festival attracted more than 200,000 people to events at the Rocks and Circular Quay.
Macquarie Visions, a free public event celebrating in immersive light displays, the 200th anniversary and story of two visionary leaders, Governor Lachlan Macquarie and his wife Elizabeth.
Taking approximately one hour, the walk starts with a dazzling light spectacle at St Mary’s Cathedral and moves onto installations at Hyde Park Barracks Museum, The Mint, Parliament House, The State Library of New South Wales, The Royal Botanic Garden’s Palace Garden Gate and Sydney Conservatorium of Music, with special features including the spectacular Downer Macquarie Arch and the stunning illumination of the Opera House sails fulfilling the amazing Vivid Light experience.
The Sydney Opera House is a multi-venue performing arts centre in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It was conceived and largely built by Danish architect Jørn Utzon, who, in 2003, received the Pritzker Prize, architecture's highest honour.
The Sydney Opera House was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site on 28 June 2007. Currently, it is the most recently constructed World Heritage Site to be designated as such, sharing this distinction with such ancient landmarks as Stonehenge and the Giza Necropolis. It is one of the 20th century's most distinctive buildings and one of the most famous performing arts centres in the world.
The Sydney Opera House is situated on Bennelong Point in Sydney Harbour, close to the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It sits at the northeastern tip of the Sydney central business district (the CBD), surrounded on three sides by the harbour (Sydney Cove and Farm Cove) and neighboured by the Royal Botanic Gardens.
The Opera House was formally completed in 1973, having cost $102 million.

Kung kailan pinakamadilim
Mga tala ay mas nagniningning
Gaano man kakapal ang ulap
Sa likod nito ay may liwanag
Ang liwanag na ito
Nasa ting lahat
May sinag ang bawat pusong bukas
Sa init ng mga yakap
Maghihilom ang lahat ng sugat
Ang nagsindi nitong ilaw
Walang iba kundi ikaw
Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko
Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko
Tayo ang ilaw sa madilim na daan
Pagkakapit bisig ngayon higpitan
Dumaan man sa malakas na alon
Lahat tayoy makakaahon
Ang liwanag na ito
Nasa ting lahat

12/12 collective expo ARTE SAGRA @ MONDOPOPGALLERY Roma (Italy)
www.mondopop.it/exhbitions_list.php?mode=0
Il titolo della collettiva natalizia di MondoPOP "Arte Sagra" mescola il concetto, storicamente elevato spiritualmente, di arte a quello di sagra, ovvero di festa di paese dedicata generalmente a un prodotto locale, spesso alimentare o comunque legato a bisogni primari dell'umano.
Ma dal titolo è evidente che il curatore ironizza sulle Fiere e sul mercato stesso dell'arte: vengono in mente il palo della cuccagna, la corsa nei sacchi, il punchball e le varie giostrine, le processioni, la gara delle torte e quanto altro.
Ma in realtà, oltre l'ironia, quello su cui ci piace far riflettere con la mostra è il concetto di arte ele vata spiritualmente che spesso diamo per scontato.
La rappresentazione visiva del divino, tipica dell'iconografia della religione cattolica (Dio vecchio barbuto, il crocefisso, la sacra famiglia, i santi), ha permesso nei secoli - con lo scopo didattico e confessionale di mantenere il popolo nel culto cattolico facendo sempre più adepti (quindi scopo concreto e non molto elevato spiritualmente) - la commercializzazione dell'arte sacra, quindi la commercializzazione del divino stesso (pratica poco elevata spiritualmente anche questa).
Ed è su questo che gli artisti coinvolti hanno lavorato.
Le immagini sacre e i loro usi, le loro contraddizioni, i loro precedenti illustri, la loro storia.
fornendo così una propria interpretazione del Tema Sacro.
Visto che molte delle nuove correnti della pittura contemporanea si rifanno alla struttura pittorica pre-rinascimentale (icone, bidimensionalità, senso del grottesco, colore irreale
vogliamo mettere in relazione quell'epoca in cui il tema sacro era il soggetto di quasi tutta l'arte della nostra parte di mondo con gli stili pittorici del nostro contemporaneo, ovvero i nostri.
Quindi si tratta di una mostra di opere a tema sacro a tutti gli effetti, che vedrà la luce il prossimo 12 di dicembre dalle ore 19 presso la galleria MondoPOP, via dei Greci 30, Roma, con una inaugurazione/epifania con il più appropriato degli aperitivi: cantucci e vinsanto.

La obra de Arthania (en oleos sobre lienzo) supera las 13000 unidades(medida radiestésica), por lo que entra de lleno en el campo emocional, sus efectos curativos puede que sean debidos precisamente a esto, es decir, como armonizadores del sistema nervioso central, a través de él, afecta positivamente a los distintos sistemas orgánicos. La pintura de Arthania, en virtud de su emisión de forma, puede ser un factor armonizador de primera magnitud. Os invito a disfrutar de esta sorprendente muestra desde una actitud positiva, serena, abierta, desde el fluir, desde la receptividad, desde el silencio. Este es el camino más seguro para percibir los impulsos curativosy transformadores que se ocultan tras los sutiles velos de la obra de Arthania.

Explicación sobre la obra pictórica de ARTHANIA
La energía que rodea al ser humano está por todas partes, por ello es adecuado rodearse de obras bellas y armoniosas,
ya que, todo objeto, despide ondas: positivas, neutras o negativas.
Esta obra pictórica,comienza con seguros trazos circulares, ondulaciones que consiguen fascinantes formas y colores. Fractales de una policromía exquisita.
Más los dibujos, también de formas onduladas, "del sonido", inspirados en experiencias internas, vividas en otros espacios-tiempo.
En suproximidad, eleva la frecuencia vibratoria personal y del entorno. Mirando a corta distancia, ayuda adesarrollar la concentración en lo intangible.
Los tonos intensos vivos vitalizan, los suaves relajan, a veces según la obra persona o situación actúan a la vez.
Ensu proximidad limpian el campo de energía personal y del entorno, por ser transmutador de energías nocivas.
Produce efectos benéficos: en las personas animales y plantas, ya que, emanan energías positivas.
Aconsejable en decoración. Dan un toque de alegría y la vez de elegancia. Crean una atmósfera agradable... Optimizan el espacio.
Este arte expresa, estados internos, sentimientos de mi Alma, y ¡Ser! basados en experiencias elevadas, en otros mundos ínter-dimensionales...
Emiten ondas de formas positivas...

Everybody loves HK's trams. The French love it so much that they decided to keep it. So the news said the French company Veolia Transport will own 100% of HK's tram company from March 2010. As a selffish being, my biggest concern is whether my daily commute will get from HK$2 to 2 Euros. The news also said that the French will turn the interior "colourful" and have seats completely rearranged. I can only pray that the French do not paint this tram (numbered 120) red, white and blue (red and yellow are worse) or change anything more than subtle.
The excavations of Pompeii is the only archaeological site in the world, along with that of Herculaneum, capable of returning visitors to a Roman town, whose life has remained firm to a distant morning in 79 AD, an era from which the Vesuvius decided to cancel by earth orbit. The town owes its exceptional state of preservation to the way in which it was buried. Source: www.pompeiturismo.it

The city of Pompeii was an ancient Roman town-city near modern Naples in the Italian region of Campania, in the territory of the comune of Pompei. Pompeii, along with Herculaneum and many villas in the surrounding area, was mostly destroyed and buried under 4 to 6 m (13 to 20 ft) of ash and pumice in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
Researchers believe that the town was founded in the seventh or sixth century BC and was captured by the Romans in 80 BC. By the time of its destruction, 160 years later, its population was probably approximately 20,000, with a complex water system, an amphitheatre, gymnasium and a port. Source: en.wikipedia.org

The Metropolitan City of Naples (Città metropolitana di Napoli) is an Italian Metropolitan City in Campania region, established on January 1, 2015. Its capital city is Naples ; within the city there are 92 comune (municipalities). It was first created by the reform of local authorities (Law 142/1990) and established by the Law 56/2014, thus replacing the Province of Naples in 2015. Source: en.wikipedia.org

It was a very poorly lit street but the D700 with the Nikon AF-S 24mm f/1.4G lens does its magic with incredible details restitution. Due to their exquisite sharpness and unmatched color rendition, the Voigtlander Nokton 58mm SLII and this latest 24mm from Nikon are my two favorite lenses for night photography (Color or B&W). Here I am pleased of the reproduction of the texture from the cobblestone street and the wood door as well as the curved lines - a quasi graphical composition - of the cobblestones fading away in the dead end road.

Dentro de la marabunta de reediciones en HD y remakes que se están produciendo desde hace unos años, ha habido un caso reciente que nos ha llamado la atención. Sí, el de la puesta al día del ‘Resident Evil’ de 2002. Una reedición con unos cuantos retoques, principalmente estéticos y sin demasiado peso, que nos llevan a una situación un tanto delirante: es el remake (o remasterización) del remake homonimo de un clásico de 1996 que deleitó al mundo en PC, Playstation y Saturn.
Pero es que la cosa tiene más miga al saber que Capcom ha anunciado este “nuevo” ‘Resident Evil’ solamente para PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 y Xbox One, dejando de lado Wii U, al parecer porque los usuarios de Wii (y por lo tanto los de Wii U) siguen teniendo la opción del ‘Resident Evil Archives: Resident Evil’. Aunque no es lo mismo, vaya, porque ni es en HD ni cuenta con ese control sin giros.
La generación del refrito: dinero fácil
Desde que nos adentramos en las pantallas en HD o FullHD los desarrolladores tardaron poco en empezar a sacar tajada de esto. Actualmente la lista es bastante grande, con PS3 y Xbox 360 como las consolas que más apuestan por rescatar clásicos de PS2 y Xbox, sin olvidar que en PC también se apuesta por este tipo de iniciativas (véase el caso de ‘Resident Evil 4 HD’ para Steam), y con una Wii U que ha hecho sus pinitos, siendo el ejemplo más resaltable ‘The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker’.
Ya no resulta raro hoy en día, por lo tanto, ver una reedición o un remake. Lo tenemos asumido y no es algo ni bueno ni malo, simplemente está ahí, es una opción. Salvo a la hora de paliar la falta de novedades, como sucedió en su día con ‘Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition’ en PS4 y Xbox One.
Tampoco hay que omitir el hecho de que ciertas compañías se perdieron el mítico programa de Joaquín Prat, en el sentido de que muchas veces se pasan del precio que consideraríamos justo. Por lo general las reediciones compensan cuando dentro del lote van dos o tres juegos más. Ahí sí.
Esto nos lleva a recordar que cuando Capcom sacó las reediciones en HD de ‘Resident Evil 4′ y ‘Resident Evil Code: Veronica X’ lo hizo al salvaje precio de 19,99 euros por cada uno. Muy bestia.
Sin embargo el “nuevo” ‘Resident Evil’ no entra dentro del mismo grupo que esos, al no ser sólo una mera reedición en HD, con mejoras en las texturas, sonido y resolución (1080p), al ofrecer la posibilidad de disfrutar de un control opcional más manejable, sin los giros del original de 1996.
La bendita ironía del “nuevo” Resident Evil
Recapacitando, lo que nos llama la atención de esta edición es su procedencia. Tiene mucha miga:
BioHazard (22 de marzo de 1996, Japón): el origen de todo. En España tuvimos que esperar a primeros de agosto del mismo año para disfrutarlo bajo el nombre de ‘Resident Evil’ Tras debutar en PSone, salió en PC en diciembre de 1996 en Japón. Y al año siguiente a España La SEGA Saturn contó con una versión especial con varios añadidos en 1997 En ese mismo año salió ‘Resident Evil: Director’s Cut’ en PSone con ligeros retoques Hasta hubo una segunda versión especial, llamada ‘Resident Evil: Dual Shock Ver.’ Ya en 2002 Capcom rehizo por completo ‘Resident Evil’ y lo lanzó en Game Cube. Juegazo que no solamente mejoró el apartado estético, sino que nos brindó nuevas salas y más cosas Nintendo DS, por contra, apostó por revivir el original de 1996 con ‘Resident Evil: Deadly Silence’. Aparte de diversos cambios y novedades, llamó la atención su modo multijugador para cuatro Finalmente, en Europa disfrutamos de una adaptación del clásico de 2002 en Wii bajo el nombre de ‘Resident Evil Archives: Resident Evil’, con más tipos de control gracias al Wiimote y nunchuck
Esto nos lleva al presente, con este ‘Resident Evil’ (2015) que se aprovechará de lo visto en Game Cube y Wii para imprimirle cuatro retoques más, la entrada en la alta definición y un control sin los giros, algo muy característico de la saga iniciada por Shinji Mikami, para venderlo a precio de oro.
Porque si bien Capcom no ha anunciado su precio todavía, ¿hay alguien que realmente cree que se venderá por menos de 19,99 euros? Ahora bien, en la parte positiva (siempre podemos esperar a una rebaja, claro) está el hecho de que ahora los que no tuvieron ni Game Cube ni Wii podrán disfrutar de uno de los mejores ‘Resident Evil’. Y si esto sirve para que Capcom acabe haciendo lo propio con ‘Resident Evil Zero’ y ya en el futuro animarse con un remake de ‘Resident Evil 2′, bienvenido sea.

I was tagged ! so here it goes..
1. If you needed directions to anywhere in new jersey or the eastern side of PA, I could probably tell you how to get there and the best roads to take. my mind is a map. legit.
2. I talk on the phone more than I text. It used to be the other way around.. but now I lovelovelove talking on the phone
3. I go to shows like it's my job. I go to one at least once a month. next weekend I'm going to take action & in march i'm seeing black eyed peas!
4. i'm probably going to be all alone when i'm older, as in no husband. It's not that I don't like people, I just get bored of them so easily.
5. I want to travel. Everywhere. I want to be able to tell my grand children that I've been to all 50 states, and every continent. It just seems like such a cool thing.
6. I listen to music constantly. I don't think there's a minute without my ipod by my side, and in my ear.
7. I take my camera everywhere. Even if I don't take pictures, I still feel right when it's right next to me.
8. I don't fit in anywhere. I have friends within a lot of different groups, and I have yet to find my place. Not that I need one.
9. I just recently became vegetarian. and I want to keep going with it. It's been three days, and it's pretty hard considering all my diet was, was chicken. everyday, all day.
10. Up until this year, I always knew what I wanted to do with my life. Now, I don't have a clue, and it freaks me out.

life had a certain rhythm. an easy downhill flow. seconds,

everything in its proper place, at its proper time. moring

From ancient times the lotus has been a divine symbol in Asian traditions representing the virtues of sexual purity and non-attachment.
Hindus revere it with the divinities Vishnu and Lakshmi often portrayed on a pink lotus in iconography. In the representation of Vishnu as Padmanabha (Lotus navel), a lotus issues from his navel with Brahma on it. Goddess Sarasvati is portrayed on a white-colored lotus.
Often used as an example of divine beauty, Vishnu is often described as the 'Lotus-Eyed One'. Its unfolding petals suggest the expansion of the soul. The growth of its pure beauty from the mud of its origin holds a benign spiritual promise. In Hindu iconography, other deities, like Ganga and Ganesha are often depicted with lotus flowers as their seats.
The lotus plant is cited extensively within Puranic and Vedic literature, for example:
One who performs his duty without attachment, surrendering the results unto the Supreme Lord, is unaffected by sinful action, as the lotus is untouched by water.
— Bhagavad Gita 5.10:
In Chinese culture Confucian scholar Zhou Dunyi wrote - "I love the lotus because while growing from mud, it is unstained".
Most deities of Asian religions are depicted as seated on a lotus flower. In Buddhist symbolism, the lotus represents purity of the body, speech, and mind as if floating above the muddy waters of attachment and desire. According to legend, Gautama Buddha was born with the ability to walk, and lotus flowers bloomed everywhere he stepped.
In the classical written and oral literature of many Asian cultures the lotus is present in figurative form, representing elegance, beauty, perfection, purity and grace, being often used in poems and songs as an allegory for ideal feminine attributes. In Sanskrit the word lotus has many synonyms. Since the lotus thrives in water - 'ja' (denoting birth) is added to synonyms of water to derive some synonyms for the lotus, like ambuja (ambu= water + ja=born of), neerja (neera=water + ja= born of), pankaj, pankaja, kamal, kamala, kunala, aravind, arvind, nalin,nalini and saroja and names derived from the lotus, like padmavati (possessing lotuses) or padmini (full of lotuses). These names and derived versions are often used to name girls, and to a lesser extent boys, in India, Nepal and Sri Lanka, as well as in many other countries influenced by Indic culture, like Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia and Laos.
The Perry House which is still being renovated and restored is the largest home at Heritage Square. It was built in 1876 for a prominent lumber baron and business tycoon, William Hayes Perry. At one time it was the largest home in Los Angeles. Perry founded the Los Angeles Gas Company which installed gas lights in downtown L.A. and later went on to found the Los Angeles Water Company.
The house was designed by E. F. Kysor in the Greek Revival/Italianate style and features bay windows , four marble fireplace mantles, sweeping staircases and hardwood floors.
In 1888 the home waws purchased by Judge Stephen C. Hubble, the first City Treasurer of Los Angeles and a founder of the University of Southen California. It was moved in 1975 and donated to the Museum in 1995.

Almost 2000 years ago, four writers recorded the life and teaching of Jesus. The first four books in the New Testament bear their names: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
Matthew was one of Jesus' twelve disciples. He offers a first-hand account of what Jesus said and did over a three-year period.
Luke was a physician who became a follower of Jesus after Jesus' life on earth. He spent time with many who were close to Jesus during His earthly ministry. Jesus' mother Mary gave Luke a mother's insight into the birth and early life of Jesus.
John wrote the last of the four histories. Of the twelve disciples, no one was closer to Jesus than John. He was the disciple who stood alone at the foot of the cross. Jesus demonstrated His great trust in John by committing to John the care of His mother Mary. At the time he wrote the last of the four histories, John was the only disciple of the original twelve who was still living.
Mark's record is the earliest of the four accounts. A young boy during the latter part of Jesus' life, Mark grew up to travel with Peter, one of Jesus' first followers and closest friends. Peter was a fisherman who followed Christ personally and traveled with Him for more than three years. We know from early church historians that Mark wrote what he learned from Peter as he preached about Jesus to all who would listen. Irenaeus wrote in A.D. 175, "Mark, the disciple and interpreter of Peter, also transmitted to us in writing the things preached by Peter."
Of the four histories, Mark's Gospel is the simplest, shortest and most direct presentation of Jesus' life, written in the common language of the marketplace. None of the other Gospels devotes as great a portion of its content to Jesus' suffering, death and resurrection. Mark does not mention Christ's genealogy or birth. Instead, he begins his Gospel by describing John the Baptist's preaching and baptism, followed by the baptism and temptation of Jesus. Then he leads into Jesus' public ministry in Galilee, giving special attention to His miraculous works that prove Him to be the Son of God.
As in all Peter's sermons about Jesus recorded in the Book of Acts, the presentation about Christ in the Gospel of Mark answers two simple but critical questions. It is divided almost perfectly in two equal halves, the first presenting who Jesus is and the second presenting why He gave His life.
From the earliest part of chapter 1 through the end of chapter 8, Mark records Jesus' miraculous works and repeatedly draws attention to the significance of who Jesus is. That is why in the first half of Mark's gospel the word "who" occurs so often.
In the first chapter, Mark clearly declares that Jesus is the Son of God1 Even demons gave this testimony: "I know who you are — the Holy One of God!" But, Jesus did not permit the demons to speak, "because they knew who he was."2
In chapter 2, the scribes said, "Who can forgive sins but God alone?"3 In chapter 4, after Jesus miraculously calmed the storm, the disciples said to one another, "Who then is this that even the wind and the sea obey Him?"4
The climax of Mark's presentation of who Jesus is in the first half of the book comes at the close of chapter 8: "And Jesus went out, along with His disciples, to the villages of Caesarea Philippi; and on the way He questioned His disciples, saying to them, 'Who do people say that I am?' And they told Him, saying, 'John the Baptist; and others say Elijah; but others, one of the prophets.' And He continued by questioning them, 'But who do you say that I am?' Peter answered and said to Him, 'You are the Christ.'"5
The second half of Mark's 16 chapters describe the final week of Jesus' life on earth — His suffering, death and resurrection. In a series of statements Jesus reveals the purpose for which He was sent into the world: "He then began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and after three days rise again."6 "He said to His disciples, 'The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men. They will kill him, and after three days he will rise.'"7 ''We are going up to Jerusalem,' he said, 'and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death and will hand him over to the Gentiles, who will mock him and spit on him, flog him and kill him. Three days later he will rise.'"8
Also contained in Mark are three dramatic "confessions." In the first verse, Mark himself confesses Jesus as the Son of God. 9 This is followed by Peter's confession in the middle of the book, "You are the Christ,"10 and builds to the Roman centurion's confession, "Surely this man was the Son of God!"11
As you read through Mark's record of the life and teachings of Jesus, you will discover that His life touches the very center of your life.

El lleó (Panthera leo) és un mamífer de la família dels felins. El lleó mascle és conegut per la seva crinera (melena) i pot arribar a pesar més de 250 kg. Les femelles son molt més petites i pesen devers 180 kg. Els lleons son carnívors i viuen en grups familiars que consisteixen en femelles emparentades, les seves cries dels dos sexes i un mascle sense llaços sanguinis que s'aparella amb les femelles adultes.
Les femelles s'ocupen de caçar mentre que els mascles es dediquen principalment a protegir els límits del seu territori. Els mascles són expulsats del grup en arribar a la maduresa.
Els lleons son polígams i la femella cria cada 18 o 26 mesos en estat natural; en captivitat, els lleons es reprodueixen una vegada a l'any. Després d'una gestació de 110 dies, la femella té entre un i quatre lleonets, que neixen amb un pèl espès i clapat. En captivitat, un lleó pot viure fins als 30 anys d'edat, però en llibertat la mitjana són 12 anys pels mascles i 16 per les femelles.
The lion (Panthera leo) is a member of the family Felidae and one of four big cats in the genus Panthera. With exceptionally large males exceeding 250 kg (550 lb) in weight,[2] it is the second-largest living cat after the tiger. Wild lions currently exist in sub-Saharan Africa and in Asia with a critically endangered remnant population in northwest India, having disappeared from North Africa, the Middle East, and western Asia in historic times. Until the late Pleistocene (about 10,000 years ago), the lion was the most widespread large land mammal beside humans. They were found in most of Africa, much of Eurasia from western Europe to India, and the Bering land bridge and, in the Americas, from the Yukon to Peru.
Lions live for approximately 10–14 years in the wild, while in captivity they can live over 20 years. They typically inhabit savanna and grassland, although they may take to bush and forest. Lions are unusually social compared to other cats. A pride of lions consists of related females and offspring and a small number of adult males. Groups of female lions typically hunt together, preying mostly on large ungulates. The lion is an apex and keystone predator, although they will resort to scavenging if the opportunity arises. While lions, in general, do not selectively hunt humans, some have been known to become man-eaters and seek human prey.
The lion is a vulnerable species, having seen a possibly irreversible population decline of 30 to 50% over the past two decades in its African range;[1] populations are untenable outside designated reserves and national parks. Although the cause of the decline is not well-understood, habitat loss and conflicts with humans are currently the greatest causes of concern. Lions have been kept in menageries since Roman times and have been a key species sought after and exhibited in zoos the world over since the late eighteenth century. Zoos are cooperating worldwide in breeding programs for the endangered Asiatic subspecies.
Visually, the male is highly distinctive and is easily recognized by its mane. The head of the male lion is one of the most widely recognized animal symbols in human culture. It has been depicted extensively in literature, in sculptures, in paintings, on national flags, and in contemporary films and literature.

My librarian.net mail is a lost cause, but I need a way to be contacted via librarian.net. I have an address that librarian.net email goes to and I filter it with procmail so that it goes into one folder. I use WordPress. I dislike all the WordPress solutions I have found so far including Contact Form ][ and Secure Form Mailer.
I'd like something that I can style to fit my themes (often more than one of them) and one where I could set a custom subject line. I'd like it to not attract spambots and I'd like it to not have a CAPCHA if at all possible.
I'm not sure where to go from here. Suggestions?

" Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.... "

This is a set of photos I took some 10 years ago at my home in Lisbon, with an old point&shoot Kodak.
My Toy loved to jump around the house, always seeking the highest points ...
For 12 years he was a faithful loving friend and companion. He was The Master of the House :-) and he definitely filled it with his presence.
He will always be there... and with us.
Thank you so much, Toy, for having been with us and for those 12 years of joy and tenderness!
I do hope you come to meet me one day... at the Rainbow Bridge.
Lots of love,
Vanda
Ecocentro Danaus (<-- video) is located a couple miles east of La Fortuna Costa Rica. It's a fairly small reserve, 600 meters of walking trails, but boy, do they pack a LOT in such a small area. Danaus was created about 13 years ago when some forward thinking people decided it might be better to grow life than cut it down. Danaus is like a mini oasis since it's completely surrounded by pasture and cattle land. Here's what Ecocentro Danaus says about itself: 'Ecocentro Danaus is an ecological reserve that preserves a natural regenerating secondary forest. Many different biological processes take place here and there is a great biodiversity of flora and fauna in its natural state.'Danaus is worth a look if your in the La Fortuna area and you need something to do for a couple hours.

Le vent fera craquer les branches
La brume viendra dans sa robe blanche
Y aura des feuilles partout
Couchées sur les cailloux
Octobre tiendra sa revanche
Le soleil sortira à peine
Nos corps se cacheront sous des bouts de laine
Perdue dans tes foulards
Tu croiseras le soir
Octobre endormi aux fontaines
Il y aura certainement,
Sur les tables en fer blanc
Quelques vases vides et qui traînent
Et des nuages pris aux antennes
Je t'offrirai des fleurs
Et des nappes en couleurs
Pour ne pas qu'Octobre nous prenne
On ira tout en haut des collines
Regarder tout ce qu'Octobre illumine
Mes mains sur tes cheveux
Des écharpes pour deux
Devant le monde qui s'incline
Certainement appuyés sur des bancs
Il y aura quelques hommes qui se souviennent
Et des nuages pris sur les antennes
Je t'offrirai des fleurs
Et des nappes en couleurs
Pour ne pas qu'Octobre nous prenne
Et sans doute on verra apparaître

I never have seen wallnuts with three compartments.
Nunca he visto nueces con tres compartimentos.
ENGLISH
The walnut was introduced into western and northern Europe very early, by Roman times or earlier, and to the Americas by the 17th century, by English colonists. Important nut-growing regions include France, Serbia, Greece, Bulgaria, and Romania in Europe, China in Asia, California in North America, and Chile in South America. Lately the crop has spread to another regions: New Zealand and southeast of Australia. It is cultivated extensively for its high-quality nuts, eaten both fresh and pressed for their richly flavoured oil; numerous cultivars have been selected for larger nuts with thinner shells.
The walnut marketing industry has issued a press release interpreting a 2006 study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology to mean that eating walnuts after a meal high in saturated fats can reduce the damaging effects of such fats on blood vessels. Researchers from Barcelona's Hospital Clinic conducted a study on 24 adult participants, half of whom had normal cholesterol levels, and half of whom had moderately high levels of cholesterol. Each group was fed two high-fat meals of salami and cheese, eaten one week apart. During one meal, the researchers supplemented the food with five teaspoons of olive oil; the researchers added 40 g shelled walnuts to the other meal.
Tests after each meal showed that neither the olive oil nor the walnuts had any effect on inflammatory substances or lipid oxidation in the blood samples taken after the meals. However, the participants with moderately high cholesterol levels exhibited increased arterial wall movement after the meal containing walnuts and decreased movement after the meal containing olive oil. The participants who had normal cholesterol levels showed a much smaller effect on arterial movement.

La nuez es un fruto seco obtenido como semilla del nogal común. De alto valor nutritivo, este fruto es rico en proteínas, vitaminas del grupo B, oligoelementos, aceites, lecitina y ácidos grasos omega 3 (poliinsaturados). Se le atribuye la capacidad de reducir el colesterol.
Se consume fresco o cocinado, así como en postres.
Las nueces, al contrario de lo que parece, no entran dentro de lo que en botánica se considera como núcula sino que al estar rodeado de una envoltura carnosa y otra capa interior dura se la considera una drupa.
Antiguamente se consideraba que comer nueces fomentaba la inteligencia por la similitud en su forma con el cerebro humano.
Actualmente, debido no a su forma, sino a sus valores nutricionales, se ha demostrado que así es.

Oggettistica in Dung Paper con Carta riciclata in cacca d'elefante
ECO MAXIMUS è nata per produrre materiale per cancelleria e regalo da una materia molto "originale". Incredibilmente infatti, i prodotti di carta, totalmente
hand-crafted, sono fatti al 75% di sterco di elefante e per un 25% di carta riciclata.
PERCHE' ECO MAXIMUS ESISTE
Carta in cacca d'elefante
Lo Sri Lanka è la casa a di un decimo dei 40.000 elefanti Asiatici selvaggi, elefanti che in Sri Lanka non vengono uccisi per le loro zanne; non sono uccisi per la carne, poichè nessuno mangia la carne di elefante; non sono uccisi per la pelle, poichè non vi è mercato per non esiste industria della pelle di elefante.
Sono semplicemente uccisi perchè interferiscono con l'agricoltura. Dal 1950, è probabile che più di 4.000 elefanti siano stati abbattuti nel conflitto tra l'uomo e l'elefante.
L'elefante è senza spazio in Sri Lanka. La maggior parte delle aree protette abitate dagli elefanti sono piccole, meno di 1.000 kmq, mentre gli elefanti, possono spostarsi per centinaia di chilometri nel corso di una stagione. Il loro appetito è enorme e gli elefanti e le persone non possono vivere insieme dove l'agricoltura è la forma dominante di utilizzo del suolo, a meno che il danno che causano ai contadini possa essere ricompensato.
Maximus - Lavorazione carta
Non ci sono facili soluzioni per risolvere il conflitto! Molto dipenderà da come i contadini percepiranno il valore dell'elefante per fermarne l'uccisione ingiustificata. Molti si stanno convincendo che l'unico modo per convivere pacificamente passi attraverso l'utilizzo dell'elefante come una risorsa sostenibile economica. Lo sterco di elefante è un prodotto finito ed è anche una merce che è liberamente disponibile a in qualunque momento (mediamente ogni elefante adulto ne produce 180-200 kg al giorno) e, fino ad ora, nessuno aveva trovato alcun utilizzo.
Il progetto di Maximus per fabbricare la carta dallo sterco di elefante può aiutare la percezione dei contadini sul valore economico dell'elefante nelle aree di conflitto. Il progetto, cominciato nel 1997, ha prodotto con successo e lanciato sul mercato ciò che è conosciuto come "carta di pachiderma".
In questo modo "la cacca di elefante" prende la forma di quaderni, fogli di carta, scatole, borse ecc. La sola limitazione è l'immaginazione!
Maximus - Lavorazione carta
Questi prodotti sono divenuti estremamente popolari fra la popolazione locale ed i turisti stranieri. Anche se lo sterco di elefante non può risolvere il crescente conflitto uomo-elefante, il suo uso a beneficio dei contadini che soffrono andrà certamente ad innalzare il livello di tolleranza di questi ultimi. Se l'elefante sarà visto come un valore economico per contribuire significativamente al benessere delle persone, le stesse non ameranno vederlo scomparire dalla loro area. In conclusione, tutti gli sforzi sarebbero futili senza il sostegno delle comunità locali.
