One problem remained. The buttons needed to be held in place over the
main chip. This is when the idea to put the components in a golf ball
box arose.
Siggi had two teams with four Greenland Huskies in each team. They were wonderful dogs and Siggi is such a champion. His sled was 80kg which put him another league than me for instance with my 11kg sled. Still he finished close to the other teams and had a big smile on the whole time. True athletes, all of them!
Persistence pays off. I overnighted in Oregon in order to try again for the Burrowing Owls early in the morning. Easy to find so early in the morning. Also, later in the season, they get mobbed by Brewer's Blackbirds. So I took too many photos...
Finally! The components were extracted from the traditional case by
breaking a couple soldered joints and applying some carefully placed
force.
Jackie and Brooklyn Dodgers General Manager Branch Rickey shared a resolve to break down racial barriers and create opportunities and social change.
Set on board a deep space scientific vessel called The Persistence in the year 2521, the ship arrives at the site of a collapsing star 17,000 light years from earth. While conducting a major experiment, a horrific incident occurs mutating many of the crew. As The Persistence is pulled into the gravity of the collapsing star, the ship’s computer, ‘IRIS’ wakes remaining members of the crew from cryogenic sleep – one at a time. Can you stay alive long enough to get to the engine room and save The Persistence?

Llanferran i Abereiddy
“Pererin wyf mewn anial dir
Yn crwydro yma a thraw,
Ac yn rhyw ddisgwyl bob yr awr
Fod y Clonc Mawr gerllaw”.
Pantycelyn 1716-1791
Beth yw`r Clonc Mawr? Taith gerdded Gymraeg ar gyfer oedolion sy`n dysgu Cymraeg a`r Cymry sy`n mo`yn eu cefnogi nhw. `Yn ni`n cerdded rhan fach o Lwybr Arfordir Sir Benfro bron bob mis ac yn mynd o dde`r sir i`r gogledd. Cyfle i oedolion sy`n dysgu Cymraeg siarad Cymraeg tu fa`s i`r `stafell ddosbarth, ac mae croeso i ddysgwyr o bob safon. Dechreuon ni yn Llanrhath hynny yw Amroth yn ne Sir Benfro fis Mawrth 2009 a bennwn ni`r Clonc Mawr ar bwys Traeth Poppit yn y gogledd yn 2013, felly cymerith y Clonc Mawr marce pedair mlynedd.

The Clonc Mawr 33
Pembrokeshire Coast Path, Wales, February 2012
Llanferran to Abereiddy
“I`m a pilgrim in a desert
Wandering here and there,
And expecting every hour
That the Clonc Mawr is near”.
Pantycelyn 1716-1791
What is the Clonc Mawr? The Clonc Mawr is a walk for adults who are learning Welsh and the Welsh speakers who want to support them. We walk a small part of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path almost every month and we`re walking from Amroth in the south to Poppit in the north. It`s a chance for adults who are learning Welsh to use their Welsh outside the classroom, and adult learners of every level are welcome. We started in Amroth in south Pembrokeshire in March 2009 and we`ll finish the Clonc Mawr near Poppit Sands in the north in 2013, so the Clonc Mawr will take about four years.

Y Clonc Mawr
(English version below)
Fel arfer `yn ni`n cwrdd am 10.30 mewn caffi neu 10.45 os nad oes caffi cyfleus a dechrau`r Clonc Mawr am 11.00. `Yn ni`n cael picnic ar y ffordd ag `yn ni`n cyrraedd pen y daith erbyn 3.00. Lifftiau wedyn yn ôl i`r ceir ac i gaffi am glonc a dished. `Yn ni`n aros yn y caffi tan 4.30. Dyma dros bump awr rhwng 10.45 a 4.30 i`r oedolion sy`n dysgu Cymraeg ei siarad hi.
Mae`r Cymry`n bwysig ar y Clonc Mawr i gloncan da`r dysgwyr achos trwy siarad Cymraeg â`r Cymry mae`r dysgwyr yn dysgu`r iaith. Fel mae Dafydd Iwan yn dweud yn ei gân enwog*:
“I`r Clonc! I`r Clonc!
Dewch Gymry hen ac ifanc.
Dewch i`r Clonc!”
So pobol yn dysgu iaith yn y `stafell ddosbarth. Maen nhw`n cael y patrymau sylfaenol yno ond maen nhw`n dysgu siarad yr iaith trwy ei siarad hi â siaradwyr brodorol tu fa`s i`r `stafell ddosbarth. Ar y Clonc Mawr mae`r dysgwyr yn cael y cyfle i ddefnyddio, ymarfer ac ymestyn y patrymau maen nhw wedi dysgu yn y `stafell ddosbarth. Felly mae`r Cymry`n hanfodol i`r broses `ma ac mae`n bwysig iawn i ni gael Cymry ar y Clonc Mawr. A beth mae`r Cymry`n ei wneud ar y Clonc Mawr? Dim ond cerdded `da ni a chloncan `da pawb am y byd a`r betws.
`Yn ni`n cerdded dim ond tipyn bach o`r Llwybr Arfordir bob tro achos mae`r pwyslais ar siarad Cymraeg, dim ar gerdded. Mae croeso i`r bobol sy` ddim yn mo`yn cerdded gwrdd â ni yn y caffi am yr awr ola` i gloncan.

Mae sawl Clonc Bach o gwmpas Sir Benfro hefyd. Dyma gyfle i`r oedolion sy`n dysgu Cymraeg gwrdd am ddwy awr mewn caffi neu dafarn i gloncan yn Gymraeg. Mae`r Cymry`n hanfodol yma hefyd. Gallwch chi gael manylion y Cloncie Bach trwy Gwglo: Cloncie Bach.
Mae`r gerdd fach isod gan y Cloncfeistr at y Cymry sy`n dod i`r Clonc Mawr a`r Cloncie Bach i gloncan yn Gymraeg `da`r oedolion sy`n dysgu`r iaith:
Cymry`r Cloncie
Fe gewch chi hwyl a sbri,
Bisgedi, cacenni a dished o fri.
A phan ddewch chi`n llu, pentigili,
I ganol y miri, a`r garw wedi`i dorri,
Fe gewch chi`r fraint, heb sylwi,
O ddod â`ch Cymraeg aton ni.
Y Cloncfeistr
Dyma englyn gan y Prifardd Idris Reynolds at y bobol sy`n dysgu Cymraeg*.
Dysgwr
Mewn gardd a fu yn harddwch – a`i lliwiau
Yn llawer tanbeitiach
Y mae rhosynnau mwyach
Yn bywhau y border bach
Idris Reynolds
Dyma englyn gan y Prifardd Ceri Wyn Jones*.
Y Clonc Mawr
Am mai hwyl y sgyrsiau mân ar y wâc
yw`r wers orau`n unman,
drwy ddyfal donc a chloncan
mae ail iaith yn cerdded mla`n.
Ceri Wyn Jones
A dyma Gân y Cloncie**
And this is the song of the Cloncs
Cân y Cloncie
Mae`r Dysgwyr wedi gwylltio,
A`u hysbryd sydd ar dân;
Pob tafod wedi tewi,
A`u treiglade`n finiog lân,
A`u treiglade`n finiog lân.
I`r Clonc! I`r Clonc!
Dewch ddysgwyr hen ac ifanc,
Dewch i`r Clonc!
Hen ddigon o fân siarad,
Dosbarthiadau saff di-ri;
Dim cadw`n dawel dim mwyach,
Defnyddio`n Cymraeg `ŷn ni,
Ie, defnyddio`n Cymraeg `ŷn ni.
Cytgan
Fe heriwn ni bob tiwtor,
Mwynheuwn ni`r oriau dysg;
Sylfeini`r drefn grynwn ni, ie,
Pan godwn ni ein cri,
Pan godwn ni ein cri.
Cytgan
Oes `na Gymry yn y Cloncie
I gwblhau y gwaith?
Fe godwn ni i gyd o`n hawddfyd clyd
I gloncan gyda`r iaith,
I gloncan i ben y daith.

What is Y Clonc Mawr? `Y` means `the, `Clonc` means `a chat` and `Mawr` means `big`. So `Y Clonc Mawr` means `The Big Chat`.
The Clonc Mawr is a walk for adults who are learning Welsh and the Welsh speakers who want to support them. We walk a small part of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path almost every month and we`re walking from Amroth in the south to Poppit in the north. It`s a chance for adults who are learning Welsh to use their Welsh outside the classroom, and adult learners of every level are welcome. We started in Amroth in south Pembrokeshire in March 2009 and we`ll finish the Clonc Mawr near Poppit Sands in the north in 2013, so the Clonc Mawr will take about four years.
We usually meet at 10.30 or 10.45 when there isn`t a convenient cafe and start the Clonc Mawr at 11.00. We have a picnic on the way and we reach the end of the walk by 3.00. Lifts then back to the cars and to a cafe for a clonc and a cuppa. We stay in the cafe `til 4.30. This is over five hours between 10.45 and 4.30 for the adults sho are learning Welsh to speak it.
Welsh speakers are important on the Clonc Mawr to chat to the adult learners because by speaking Welsh with Welsh speakers the learners learn the language. As Dafydd Iwan says in his famous song*:
“To the Clonc! To the Clonc!**
Come Welsh people old and young
Come to the Clonc!”
People don`t learn a language in the classroom. They get the basic patterns there but they learn to speak to speak the language by speaking it with native speakers outside the classroom. On the Clonc Mawr the adult learners have the chance to use, practise and extend the patterns they`ve learnt in the classroom. This means that Welsh speakers are essential to the this process and it`s very important for us to have Welsh speakers on the Clonc Mawr. And what do the Welsh speakers do on the Clonc Mawr? Just walk with us and chat to everyone about anything and everything.
We only walk a small part of the Cioast Path each time because the emphasis is on speaking Welsh, not on walking. People who don`t want to walk are welcome to meet us in the cafe to chat with us for the last hour.
For details: Google `Y Clonc Mawr` or phone 01437 776785.

There are several Clonc Bachs (`Clonc Bach` means `Little Clonc`) around Pembrokeshire as well. This is a chance for the adults who are learning Welsh to meet for an hour or two in a cafe or pub to chat in Welsh. Welsh speakers are essential here as well. You can get details of the Cloncie Bach by Googling: Cloncie Bach.
The poem below by the Cloncmaster is to the Welsh speakers who come to the Clonc Mawr and the Cloncie Bach (Little Cloncs) to chat in Welsh with the adult learners:
The Welsh people of the Cloncs**
You`ll have fun and sport,
Biscuits, cakes and a cuppa of renown.
And when you come as a host, all the way,
Into the merriment, and break the ice,
You`ll have the honour, without noticing,
Of bringing your Welsh to us.
This is an englyn by the `Prifardd` Idris Reynolds to the people who are learning Welsh*:
Learner**
In a garden that was prettier – and its
colours
Very much brighter
There are roses once again
Enlivening the dear border
This is an englyn by the `Prifardd` Ceri Wyn Jones.
The Clonc Mawr**
Because the fun of the small talk on the walk
is the best lesson anywhere,
by persistence and chattering
a second language walks on.

his famous song and permission from Idris Reynolds and Ceri Wyn Jones to use
their englyns.
** The English version by the Cloncmaster is of course just a rough translation to give

Assignment: Create a photo that represents the idea of immortality.
Immortality...I thought about sunlight and other preconceived images and held them in my mind's eye, like a shopping list. I then went looking for an image to match the construct in my mind. So glad I was open to seeing something I didn't expect.
Other paths to immortality depart from here:
During our visit to the Dali Museum (One Dali Blvd., St. Petersburg), I took photos of some of the oil paintings on display. This work is titled The Disintegration of the Persistence of Memory.
A few details on this painting according to the museum's website:
The Disintegration of the Persistence of Memory
Salvador Dalí
1952-54
Oil on canvas
This painting features one of Dali's most popular images, the melting watch. In 1931, Dali painted his first melting watch. He said he was inspired one hot day while working in his studio when he noticed some runny Camembert cheese.
To Dali, the oozing cheese resembled a melting watch, so immediately he painted three melting watches on his canvas, capturing the public’s imagination for succeeding generations.
It is not clear why these melting watches are so startling and memorable, but they do suggest several powerful associations. They illustrate how time can be fluid, as in a dream. But a more essential and threatening association concerns our dependence upon clocks. The world runs by the clock – scheduling events is essential for life to function normally. If clocks melt, time becomes meaningless, and there is no way to control activities, leading to chaos.
Looking across the painting, what do you see? There are several images suggesting chaos, including the ocean fragmenting into atomic bits, its skin-like edge lifted to reveal a fish fluorescing. Yet there are other images that suggest continuity as well, particularly in the details of Dali's beloved Port Lligat landscape. Other questions arise – is the image disintegrating, or is it an expression of continuity? Is time interrupted, or is it fluid and elastic? Looking beneath the ocean's surface, do you discover disintegration or order? Dali leaves the answers to the viewer.
I'm knitting a sweater for myself! Wish me luck and persistence, I will need it!
Pattern: Sunrise Circle Jacket by Kate Gilbert ... free Interweave Knits pattern.
Size: the largest, which should probably be too large for me, but my gauge is a tiny bit smaller so I hope it'll turn out OK.
Needles: 5 mm straight Atan needles (vintage, late 1970s, very slippery and heavy and my all-time favorites!)

Essa foi a imagem usada para ilustrar o meu último videozinho de animação, feito com a parceira de Camila Torres.
Foi um trabalho de aprendizado e de descoberta. As falhas pode deixar que os próprios produtores já se cansaram de apontar, mas na época em que foi feito não teria como ter sido diferente mesmo, então temos é que curtir seus pequenos méritos =) Passou até no Vitória Cine Vídeo, por incrível que pareça!!

Using Martial Arts To Learn Persistence And Diligence
This article is about how persistence is required to achieve or progress in the martial arts. It goes on to explain how the persistence students learn studying martial arts can be carried over into their lives as a whole.
martial arts,persistence
As a seventh degree black belt, I have found that martial arts are a journey more than a destination. In my lifetime of experience training in a variety of different martial arts, including karate, kung fu, Taekwondo and Krav Maga, I have been tested and pushed to my limit many times. Even now I continue to push myself and look for new challenges and opportunities to enhance my technique and better my understanding of various aspects of martial arts. As I have traveled along in this journey, I have found that persistence and diligence are absolutely essential to progressing in the martial arts.
It takes persistence and diligence to master a difficult technique that, while borderline impossible at first, must become second nature in order to pass a belt test and progress to the next level. I have also found that as one needs to exercise persistence and diligence to learn martial arts, martial arts can also teach you to be more persistent and diligent in your life as a whole. Many of the lessons we learn through practicing martial arts are, in fact, life lessons. The diligence required in mastering a difficult martial arts technique can be applied to other areas of our lives, such as career, education and relationships. In martial arts having the persistence to stick with something even when it seems impossible is often the key to achieving success that particular technique. It is the same with our lives outside of the martial arts dojo.
Even the most gifted athletes who come to study at one of our Virginia Beach area martial arts facilities will eventually find themselves tested. Strength, skill and flexibility are essential in passing those tests. However, persistence is often a student's greatest ally in mastering a difficult technique and making the impossible become second nature. It is the same in life.
Very few things worth achieving are easy. In life, just as in martial arts, if we let every challenge or speed bump dissuade us we would never progress, and we would never get anywhere. Careers, school and relationships often require a lot of hard work. To get anywhere we need to make an effort, and we need to continue making that effort. Progress requires persistence. Martial arts offer a powerful parable for how making an effort can make a difference and lead to success, or at least progress, in any given endeavor.
One of the things I enjoy most about teaching martial arts is to see students learning to do things they previously regarded as impossible. It is perhaps even more rewarding to see students carry the lessons about persistence and diligence they have learned from martial arts out into the world with them where they achieve new levels of success in their careers, education, and relationships.
