I learned more from Calvin and Hobbes than I did throughout my entire high school career. Bill Watterson, the author of Calvin & Hobbes, taught me that life isn’t as simple as it may seem. There are always greater forces at work.
Calvin’s character is a 6 year old brat who wants nothing more than to be left alone to his own devices. He hates that he must adhere to rules and finds himself engaged in a never-ending battle to fight and change them. In one strip taking place in Calvin’s imagination, he finds himself able to walk on the ceiling. He also discovers that although he may no longer answer to gravity, everything else does. His shirt falls down over his eyes and the change falls out of his pockets. He got his wish and he wasn’t happy with it.
This is a common theme throughout the strip: if you try hard enough, you may be able to change the rules to which you must adhere, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that the same goes for everyone/everything else. There’s a life lesson in there, somewhere.
Thanks, Bill. You changed my life.
Style inspired by .LisaK. – Lisa has a wide range of skills. My most favorite being the ability to wash out a shot, keeping it somehow interestingly devoid of color. Simple and to the point: One and Two and Three.

...but that's gonna cost you one penny! There's no free wishes! I tried to get some nice gorgeous candid photos of people in my local mall but that didn't last very long as I was kicked out by one of those mall-cops. Apparently it's against the law to take photos in the mall. Oh well, I'll find another place. So I hope on taking more and more of these shots like Stephan Geyer. Stephan inspired me to do this. Well don't forget to comment and favorite. Have a great day!

Dandelion facts
The name dandelion is taken from the French word “dent de lion” meaning lion’s tooth, referring to the coarsely-toothed leaves.
Every part of the dandelion is useful: root, leaves, flower. It can be used for food, medicine and dye for coloring.
Quote from : Did you know
Each year fifty-five tones of coffee substitutes made from roasted Dandelion roots are sold in England, Australia and Canada.

El Atlético de Madrid se dio el gusto de ganar por segundo año consecutivo el derbi en el mismísimo Santiago Bernabéu. En el marco de la tercera jornada de la Liga BBVA, el equipo del argentino Diego Pablo Simeone se impuso por 2-1.
Primero fue Tiago que con la vieja recete, córner aprovechando los quedes defensivos y las malas salidas de Casillas, anotó la apertura a los 10 minutos.Sin embargo, a los 25 minutos Cristiano Ronaldo se internó en el área y fue derribado por Siqueira. Cristiano asumió la responsabilidad y batió a Moya que antes y después de esa jugada estuvo notable.En el complemento los blancos salieron dispuestos a tomar la iniciativa. Ancelotti falló dando ingreso a Chicharito por Benzema, no confiando en s delantero centro titular.
El Real Madrid pareció que inclinaba la cancha, pero Simeone se guardaba algo. El entrenador dio ingreso a Arda Rután. Primero el turco lo buscó con un zapatillazo que pasó cerca de Iker, y luego en el minuto 75 tras un buen centro de Juanfran y un gran recurso de Raúl García que dejó pasar el balón, el turco marcó el segundo.
El Real se volcó al ataque pero no consiguió el empate. El encuentro será recordado porque es la primera vez en su historia que el Atlético gana dos veces seguidas en el escenario de su rival, y porque parte de la afición blanca despidió a Iker Casillas con una pitada, clara señal de que el debut de Keylor Navas puede estar cerca.

Carbonero común (Parus major)
Características
Carbonero común (Parus major)El carbonero común es uno de los páridos más fácilmente identificables. Su cabeza y su "corbata" negras y el pecho amarillo, junto con el verde oliváceo, a veces casi azul, de sus alas y cola y sus mejillas blancas amarillentas son rasgos inconfundibles de un carbonero. En las hembras el negro de la banda ventral es menos intenso y la banda misma es más estrecha. El vivo color de su pecho lo distingue de su primo el carbonero garrapinos (Parus ater).
Distribución
Se le puede encontrar en todo el monte peninsular; de hecho ocupa la mayor parte de Europa, donde es sedentario. Allá donde haya árboles, sobre todo caducifolios o mixtos, encontraremos al carbonero común que, aun siendo un ave pequeña, es grande dentro del grupo de los páridos, ya que llega a medir 15 cm de longitud. En las islas baleares encontramos la subespecie Parus major mallorcae.
Ocupan las cajas nido con orificios de más de 3 cm de diámetro y otros lugares de los más pintorescos, como buzones o latas. Como la hembra pone de 10 a 13 huevos y no da abasto para calentarlos todos, el nido es bastante cálido, acolchado con musgo y forrado de plumas y pelos. En la segunda mitad de mayo comienza la incubación por parte de la hembra y dura 13 ó 14 días.
Reproducción
A los 18 ó 20 días de la eclosión los pollos abandonan el hueco, pero siguen con sus padres durante una o dos semanas.
Alimentación
El carbonero común se alimenta de insectos y semillas que abre con su potente pico, sujetándolas con las dos patas.
Su canto se puede confundir con el de otros pájaros porque es un buen imitador. Suele ser repetitivo, vigoroso y marcadamente metálico, de dos o tres sílabas.

I met a man of many colors
And a tear was upon his cheek.
"Old man" I ask, "why do you cry
With such an agonizing weep?"
"Oh child" this man he says to me,
"My heart is broken in so many ways
That I believe this day to end
Will find me out stretched and far within
The encompassing earth of sin."
I sat down beside this man
And asked him "do not cry.
For what you think is so bad
That life will pass you by?"
He looks at me with such sad eyes.
And weeps ever more.
He holds his hands out to me
And alas, I do see
The anguish of his heart.
For his hands were different colors
One is red and the other white,
A leg he unclothed for me
Was as yellow as could be
And his other leg as black as night.
"I am the father of the world.
In case you do not know.
And my children have grown apart
And fight among themselves.
For when they do not get along
My arms and legs and hands and feet
Destroys the very life of me.
My hands of red and white
Will not feed this face of night.
And my legs of black and yellow,
Will not stand beneath this body
And support my heart and soul.
For they argue far too much,
And now I have grown old.
So here I sit in this haven
Of unwelcomeness.
And when this day ends,
A father I will not be.
For my children of many nations
Have forgotten how to accompany me.

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
Aveva ventisette anni, ma sembravano di più.
Dicevano una cosa strana: dicevano: Novecento non è mai sceso dalla nave. E' nato su questa nave, e da allora c'è rimasto. Sempre. Dicevano che suonava una musica che non esisteva.
Novecento, perchè non scendi?
Perchè?
"Tutta quella città...non se ne vedeva la fine...La fine, per cortesia, si potrebbe vedere la fine?
Ora tu pensa: un pianoforte. I tasti iniziano. I tasti finiscono. Tu sai che sono 88, su questo nessuno può fregarti. Non sono infiniti loro.
Ma se io scendo da quella scaletta, e davanti a me si srotola una tastiera di milioni di tasti, milioni e miliardi, che non finiscono mai....su quella tastiera infinita non c'è musica che puoi suonare.
Anche solo le strade, ce ne sono migliaia...
Ma come fate voi laggiù a sceglierne una?
A scegliere una donna
Una casa, una terra che sia vostra, un paesaggio da guardare, un modo di morire
Tutto quel mondo
Quel mondo addosso che nemmeno sai dove finisce
E quanto ce n'è
Non avete mai paura, voi, di finire in mille pezzi solo a pensarla, quell'enormità, solo a pensarla? A viverla...
La voglia di scendere
La paura di farlo
Diventi matto, così
Matto."
(Alessandro Baricco - Novecento)
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.
Coccinellidae is a family of beetles, known variously as ladybirds (UK, Ireland, Australia, Pakistan, South Africa, New Zealand, India, Malta, parts of Canada), ladybugs (North America), or lady beetles (preferred by some scientists). Lesser-used names include ladyclock, lady cow, and lady fly.[1]
They are small insects, ranging from 1 mm to 10 mm (0.04 to 0.4 inches), and are commonly yellow, orange, or scarlet with small black spots on their wing covers, with black legs, head and antennae. A very large number of species are mostly or entirely black, grey, or brown and may be difficult for non-entomologists to recognize as coccinellids (and, conversely, there are many small beetles that are easily mistaken as such, like tortoise beetles).
(see it big, on black)
I've got a roof over my head.
I've got a warm place to sleep.
Some nights I lie awake counting gifts
Instead of counting sheep.
I've got a heart that can hold love.
I've got a mind that can think.
There may be times when I lose the light and let my spirit sink.
But I can't stay depressed
When I remember how I'm blessed.
Grateful, grateful, truly grateful, I am.
Grateful, grateful, truly blessed
and duly grateful.
Within a city of strangers,
I've got a family of friends.
No matter what rocks and brambles fill the way,
I know that they will stay until the end.
I feel a hand holding my hand.
It's not a hand you can see.
But on the road to the Promised Land,
This hand will shepherd me.
Through delight and despair.
Holding tight and always there.
Grateful, grateful, truly grateful, I am.
Grateful, grateful, truly blessed
and duly grateful.
It's not that I don't want a lot
Or hope for or dream of more
But giving thanks for what I've got
Makes me happier than keeping score.
In a world that can bring pain,
I will still take each chance.
For I believe that whatever the terrain
our feet can learn to dance.
Whatever stone life may sling
We can moan or we can sing.
Grateful, grateful, truly grateful, I am.
Grateful, grateful, truly blessed
and duly grateful.
Truly blessed and duly grateful.
(John Bucchino, Grateful)
I hope you all had a wonderful day, and a wonderful Thanksgiving for my American friends.
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.

L’action syndicale de plus en plus unitaire en France, depuis le 1er mai 2009, est plus marquée au niveau du personnel de l’enseignement. L’école française de tous les cycles et niveaux est menacée de privatisation, de même que la remise en cause de la laïcité. La suppression de 16000 postes de travail pour la rentrée 2010, ainsi que le réforme en général où le lycée est visé d’un chamboulement, mobilisent les travailleurs. Le climat dans les établissements est aussi peu stable.
