"Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror."
-Kahlil Gibran
Reflections of the maritime forest on the salt-marsh estuaries and tidal wetlands of PHP never fail to captivate.
Their beautiful clarity is fluid, graceful and inspiring. (Not to mention ‘photogenic’!)

Su nombre " Ophrys " deriva de la palabra griega:"ophrys"="ceja" refiriéndose a la alta consideración que se tiene hacia este género.
Del latín "lupercalis"="De cubierto" refiriéndose a su labelo que está cubierto con un sépalo en la parte de la columna.
Estas Orquídeas se denominan las "Orquídeas abejeras" porque el labelo de las flores se asemeja al abdomen de las abejas.
Planta que tiene un tallo de 10 a 40 cm. de altura, con hojas básales grandes, hasta 10cm de longitud, en roseta, y otras más reducidas repartidas a lo largo del tallo y envolviendo en parte a éste. La inflorescencia es una espiga laxa de 2-10 flores grandes. Los pétalos miden 11-15 mm. x 4-7mm, y son verdes. Los dos laterales están expandidos hacia los lados mientras que el superior está doblado e inclinado hacia delante. El labelo presenta una pilosidad densa, uniforme, con tonos marrones, a veces rojizos, con un borde glabro de color amarillo. Esta tribulado, con dos lóbulos laterales de menor tamaño y más estrechos que el central, que a su vez está bilobulado en su extremo final. Presenta una mancha grande, central, de color gris o gris azulado, bilobulada.
De floración temprana, ya a principios de febrero pueden observarse las primeras flores, pudiendo encontrarse ejemplares en flor a finales de la primavera. Vive en pastos secos y soleados, aunque también puede encontrarse en matorrales poco densos

CARLOS 'BOTONG' FRANCISCO (1912 - 1969)
Ang Aguinaldo
Estimate: PHP 8,500,000 - 9,500,000
Signed (lower right) and undated (c. 1938)
Oil on canvas
71 x 96.5 cm (28 x 38 in)
Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity issued and signed by Victor Puyat, former President of the Botong Francisco Foundation, Makati City
National Artist Carlos “Botong” Francisco was a transformative figure in Philippine art, shifting from the romanticized Amorsolo style to modernism alongside Victorio Edades and Galo Ocampo, thus reshaping Philippine artistic expression.
‘Ang Aguinaldo,’ an early work by Botong, features a pre-colonial Philippine scene with a pregnant woman and a warrior bowing to a seated leader. The title, meaning "gift" or "present" in Spanish, contrasts with the traditional setting. Created before World War II, this painting reflects Botong's early style and anticipates his later murals.
A similar artwork appeared on the back cover of Graphic Magazine’s December 1938 Christmas edition. Despite the resemblance, differences in the details suggest that the magazine image and the oil on canvas painting are distinct works. Salcedo Auctions posits that these are variations on the same theme, given Botong's practice of creating similar works in different media.
The provenance of ‘Ang Aguinaldo’ is well-documented. Botong sold it to Gene Cabrera in 1938, who later sold it to Jaime Ledesma in 1975. Ledesma received a Certificate of Authenticity from Demetrio Diego, a prominent artist and collaborator with Botong. Suzano “Jun” Gonzales, a noted conservator, conducted minimal conservation. In 1979, Multinational Investment Bancorporation acquired the painting through East Asia Corporation for Arts & Antiquities.
A recent assessment of the painting by Victor Puyat, former President of the Botong Francisco Foundation, who knew the artist’s apprentice Salvador Juban personally, reaffirms the painting's authenticity. Puyat, who has graciously issued a Certificate of Authenticity for ‘Ang Aguinaldo’ notes that Botong’s distinctive technique in depicting the human body is evident and would be challenging to replicate. He adds that the faces in the painting, characterized by soft, roundish features and expressions, align with Botong’s known style. While the color palette differs from his later works, he likewise mentions that it is consistent with his early pieces, such as ‘Siesta Under the Mango Tree’ from 1938, and that the physical condition of the painting, along with its documented provenance, supports its status as a notable early masterpiece by Botong Francisco.

El alcaraván (Burhinus oedicnemus) es una especie de ave Charadriiforme de la familia Burhinidae. Es un ave migratoria de unos 40 cm de longitud. El nombre científico de la especie oedicnemus deriva del griego, "canillas hinchadas". De hecho, en la bibliografía anglosajona, a la familia de Los burínidos (Burhinidae), de la que el alcaraván es de sus principales representantes, se las conoce como aves de "rodillas anchas" Thick knees.
Distribución
El alcaraván se localiza en el sur de Europa, norte de África y sudoeste de Asia. Las invernadas las pasa en la latitudes más meridionales de África y Asia.
Comportamiento
De costumbres nocturnas, se alimenta de insectos y pequeños reptiles, a los que acecha y caza en veloz carrera. No desdeña pequeños mamíferos a los que caza como si fuese un gato. También come huevos y pollos de otras aves. Es un ave solitaria, desconfiada, tendente a esconderse, ocultándose fácilmente por su mimético plumaje pardo. Prefiere las zonas áridas y esteparias.
Canta de noche con grito aislado, sobre todo en la época de paso.
Reproducción
Nidifica en abril, en un hoyo excavado en la arena. Pone tres o cuatro huevos de piriformes a alargados, del tamaño del huevo de gallina, que por su color y dibujo parecen de codorniz. Son huevos de color arcilla, amarillo a moreno, jaspeado o con motas castañas, azuladas o pardas. La incubación dura 16 días y al poco de la eclosión, los pollos siguen a sus progenitores sin regresar al nido. En caso de peligro, la prole se agazapa y los padres protegen a las crías.

Sin ser yo el mayor fan en esta casa de mundos como el del Punk y similares, sí he de reconocer que siempre he tenido una especial simpatía (si se permite la palabra) por una banda como Fugazi. No es solo una reverencia basada en la nostalgia, sino también en el agradecimiento por una revolución llevada a cabo en los noventa en la que se unieron el corte primario del género madre con la experimentación y actitudes propias de los movimientos mayoritarios esos años, dando lugar a una fusión entre contestarismo y nihilismo que convierten al mundo del Post-Hardcore en una escena más interesante de lo que a priori aparenta.
Fundamental en todo esto sería el EP homónimo lanzado por Fugazi en 1988, un conjunto de canciones que marcaría una época por convertirse en una especie de eslabón perdido (junto a la obra de Big Black) entre el legado de bandas icónicas como Sex Pistols o The Clash y la posterior de otras más conocidas por vosotros como At The Drive-In, Shellac o Refused, conjunto al que seguirían algunos de los discos más brillantes presentados en toda la década de los noventa.
El caso es que hoy, de forma sorpresiva, ha saltado a la palestra la existencia de un material anterior al EP homónimo, un material que Dischord Records, el sello que se ha encargado de poner en circulación las Live Series, pretende lanzar bajo el nombre de First Demo. Del lanzamiento formarán parte las canciones presentadas en el material homónimo, la inédita ‘Turn Off Your Guns‘ e ‘In Defense of Humans‘ (la cual fue presentada en una recopilación anterior), temas que fueron grabados en su momento con Fugazi con solo diez conciertos a sus espaldas.
Los temas inéditos ya habían sido disfrutados por los fans en directo pero no habían sido aún recogidos en un lanzamiento oficial de la banda hasta el momento. No hay fecha aún para la puesta en circulación de este First Demo, pero todo apunta a que se pondrá a la venta en algún momento antes de que acabe este año. Y ahí estaremos para contároslo.

Eu falo de amor à vida,
Você de medo da morte.
Eu falo da força do acaso
E você de azar ou sorte.
Eu ando num labirinto
E você numa estrada em linha reta.
Te chamo pra festa,
Mas você só quer atingir sua meta.
Sua meta é a seta no alvo,
Mas o alvo, na certa, não te espera.
Eu olho pro infinito
E você de óculos escuros.
Eu digo: "Te amo!"
E você só acredita quando eu juro.
Eu lanço minha alma no espaço,
Você pisa os pés na terra.
Eu experimento o futuro
E você só lamenta não ser o que era.
E o que era?
Era a seta no alvo,
Mas o alvo, na certa, não te espera.
Eu grito por liberdade,
Você deixa a porta se fechar.
Eu quero saber a verdade
E você se preocupa em não se machucar.
Eu corro todos os riscos,
Você diz que não tem mais vontade.
Eu me ofereço inteiro
E você se satisfaz com metade.
É a meta de uma seta no alvo,
Mas o alvo, na certa não te espera!
Então me diz qual é a graça
De já saber o fim da estrada,
Quando se parte rumo ao nada?
Sempre a meta de uma seta no alvo,
Mas o alvo, na certa, não te espera.
Então me diz qual é a graça
De já saber o fim da estrada,
Quando se parte rumo ao nada?

LYRICS
Oh, her eyes, her eyes, make the stars look like they're not shining
Her hair, her hair, falls perfectly without her trying
She's so beautiful, and I tell her every day
Yeah, I know, I know, when I compliment her she won't believe me
And it's so, it's so, sad to think that she don't see what I see
But every time she asks me do I look ok, I say
When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing, just the way you are
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while
Because girl you're amazing, just the way you are. Yeah.
Her lips, her lips, I could kiss them all day if she let me
Her laugh, her laugh, she hates but I think it's so sexy
She's so beautiful, and I tell her every day
Oh, you know, you know, you know, I'd never ask you to change
If perfect's what you're searching for then just stay the same
So, don't even bother asking if you look ok
You know I'll say
When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing, just the way you are
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while
Because girl you're amazing, just the way you are
The way you are, the way you are
Girl you're amazing, just the way you are
When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing, just the way you are
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while
Cause girl you're amazing, just the way you are. Yeah.

Track Day ASA
Samedi 28 Janvier 2012
Porsche 911 Carrera S
Club des automobiles Sportives d'Aquitaine :
A Route 66 classic, Ernie Edwards' Pig-Hip Restaurant began serving yummy barbeque sandwiches in 1937. What started as a tiny three-table cafe started by a twenty year-old Ernie eventually turned into busy restaurant, filling station, and even a motel. Teeny Broadwell went from a dot on the map to a real stop on Route 66!
After 66 was bypassed by the interstate (not really far away, either), Broadwell quickly slipped into nothingness. The filling station and motel eventually closed, as did all of the remaining businesses in the town, the last of them shuttering in the early 80s. Only the Pig-Hip remained, and that until Ernie & his wife retired in 1991. The Edwards' turned the Pig-Hip into a Route 66 museum in 2003. Rumor has it that Ernie would talk folks' ears off when they popped in, but no one seems to have minded. Sadly, the Pig-Hip burned almost to the ground early one morning in 2007; it wasn't long before the destruction was blamed on an electrical problem.
Today, all that remains is an empty spot where the Pig-Hip used to be, with only its signs and the motel to mark its life. The last business in Broadwell was not only closed, but has completely disappeared except in the memories of those who've been there, and the minds of those who wished they could have stopped in.
This free-flying Night heron can be found at the sea lion enclosure at feeding time each day. It was very confiding, allowing me to get close. Even after feeding time was long after, after I had wandered around the zoo and returned to the enclosure on my way out, the heron was still perched there, head tucked in its feathers as the temperature dropped. Stunning bird.
See here for a recent report on these much discussed birds.
Further information from Stephen at Lothianbirdnews.
An update on zoo-derived Night Herons. Thanks to Jo Elliot, Animal Records
Keeper at the zoo and formerly Senior Keeper of the Bird Section, we now have
better info on what may be only two remaining birds. In summary:
Bird 1 - single vertically-split band half blue half yellow, seen April 09 to
date (at least); this is a "new style" band, probably numbered, used on birds
hatched 1989 to 1993 [a small possibility this bird is one ringed from 1997 to
2004, when sequences used were not recorded so carefully]; if caught numbers may
be readable, and thereby pin down hatch year.
Bird 2 - red over blue left (blue appears green in photos), red right to 2006
but missing subsequently, bird seen to date; this individual seems to have old
style bands used from 1983 to 1987 (possibly 1988?); again if caught it may be
possible to confirm lack of numbers and also check for transponder fitted to
(some?) birds in that period, thus confirm year.
Alan's 2006 photos were key to this identification, since careful comparison
with more recent images (thanks also to Bruce) suggests it is the same bird, it
just dropped a colour band btwn 2006 and 2008 (and they are not closed bands,
just a wrap round plastic ring like off a ring-binder, so they could easily be
lost).
In addition, the zoo inform us that a bird with metal ring and red right,
red-lime-blue left, ringed (and transpondered) in 1983 was definitely still at
the zoo in 2000.
In summary, it is likely that the current ages of remaining two are 16 and 23
yrs respectively, and the metal-ringed bird was 17 yrs old in 2000, but without
catching the former two are strictly unconfirmed. The current published
longevity records I can trace are 16 yrs in Europe and 21 yrs for N American
race (hoactli), the zoo birds are of course the latter.
Zoo not sure if they will try to catch birds, though it does not look to
difficult a job to me given their regular occurrence (apparently routine at
sealion feeding 11:15hrs) and if there are any volunteers (ringers?) for such I
would happily pass on!
Finally, it is remarkable that these birds are probably out of the zoo in the
local area for most of the time yet are hardly ever reported (Mike's sighting
last New Year's Eve excepted, the only other adult in Lothian since 2001 was the
bird at Bavelaw in Feb 2007, with a juv in Haddington in 2002 per BirdGuides
only). Anecdotal info per zoo staff is that their birds "winter on the Water of
Leith", also a report of one "seen regularly in Haddington", but these are
unconfirmed and undated. Thus all further records of Night Herons in or out of
the zoo, preferably with colour band details, would be most welcome!
Around 50 workers from Ahmad Maher Hospital demonstrated today in Magles el-Shaab Street, in front of the Ministry of Health, demanding contracts and bonuses. Some of the workers I spoke with said they have been working in the hospital for 15 years without contracts, at a basic monthly salary of LE70, which go up to LE200 only with the incentives. The workers also said they were not given food allowance. Instead they’re given one meal a day composed of one egg and a piece of cheese, whose money is deducted from the monthly pay!

SAY HELLO TO TALLI. This is Talli, as is Canon EOS Rebel T2i :) She's my new DSLR and I am PSYYYCHED!
This picture isn't that great, I know, but the lighting in my house isn't too great and I'm still trying to figure my camera out since I got it today.
----
If you're wondering why this picture is called BABY it's because three days ago or so I bought a Canon EOS 50D in Seattle (for an AMAZING PRICE let me just say). Unfortunately! There was a smudge/fingerprint on the sensor chip on the inside on the camera and Canon and the store refused to clean it because they said it could have been made by anyone. Luckily I noticed it in time to return it but then I was out of a camera (and an AMAZING camera, at that) and I was just so so so sad :(. So i'm glad to have a camera again :) Even though it may not be as pro as the 50D which I LOVED. I still am REALLY digging this one so YAY! :)
sorry for the essay guys ;)

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.

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!

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.
