MUSEO DE LA TAUROMAQUIA SALTILLO COAHUILA
La fiesta taurina está íntimamente ligada a su aspecto ancestral, tradicional y popular. La cultura que ha cubierto siempre el discurrir histórico de la fiesta, da idea de su relevancia: la tauromaquia ha sido plasmada por artistas tales como Goya, Picasso, Manet, Enrique Simonet, Alberto Gironella, Lucas Villaamil y Paco Puertas, así como en pasodobles del famoso compositor mexicano Agustín Lara. La tauromaquia es ejercicio de múltiple comprensión, y puede ser admirada o criticada, pero sus componentes, ya citados, le permiten perdurar en el tiempo y generar amplio debate a su alrededor. Por ejemplo, el gobierno de España, a través del Ministerio del Interior, hace referencia al aspecto cultural de las corridas de toros en su reglamentación de las escuelas taurinas: «Para fomento de la fiesta de toros, en atención a la tradición y vigencia cultural de la misma, podrán crearse escuelas taurinas para la formación de nuevos profesionales taurinos y el apoyo y promoción de su actividad.
El historiador y crítico de la estética y de la literatura española, Menéndez Pelayo, enseñó en su Historia de las ideas estéticas en España que la tauromaquia pertenece a las artes secundarias:
Son artes secundarias todos aquellos ejercicios y obras humanas que, sin proponerse un fin de utilidad práctica inmediata y participando por esto del carácter desinteresado de las obras estéticas, tienden a hacer resaltar, por medio del libre juego de nuestras facultades físicas o morales, cualidades de fuerza, de agilidad o de gracia, análogos a la belleza, cuando no la belleza misma de la figura humana. A este género pertenecen… la tauromaquia, que en realidad es una terrible y colosal pantomima de feroz y trágica belleza, en la cual se dan reunidos y perfeccionados los elementos estéticos de la equitación y de la esgrima, así como la ópera produce juntos los efectos de la música y de la poesía. Bastante más merecen estos ejercicios el calificativo de artes que la pirotecnia y la agricultura (!!) que han querido admitir algunos teóricos.
Menéndez Pelayo, Historia de las ideas estéticas en España, hasta el siglo XVII, cap. XII
El filósofo José Ortega y Gasset explicaba que era impensable estudiar la historia de España sin considerar las corridas de los toros. Si muchos de los escritores y filósofos de la Generación del 98, no gustaban de las corridas de toros, era porque la culpaban del atraso de la sociedad española. Así, Unamuno explicaba que no le gustaban las corridas, no porque fuese un espectáculo cruento, sino porque se perdía mucho tiempo hablando de ella y esto explicaba la formación cultural de sus espectadores. Ortega y Gasset, en su obra La caza y los toros, se extrañaba de que el toreo, siendo un ejercicio callado diese tanto que hablar. Posteriormente, la Generación del 27 en su mayoría fue amante de la fiesta, sobre la cual escribieron, pintaron y esculpieron. Vale citar las palabras con las que Federico García Lorca manifestaba su abierto apoyo y gusto por la tauromaquia: «El toreo es probablemente la riqueza poética y vital de España, increíblemente desaprovechada por los escritores y artistas, debido principalmente a una falsa educación pedagógica que nos han dado y que hemos sido los hombres de mi generación los primeros en rechazar. Creo que los toros es la fiesta más culta que hay en el mundo».
Cartel del festejo taurino del 15 de agosto de 1934 que se celebró en Villafranca de la Sierra (Ávila, España).
Antonio Machado deja clara su postura en su obra Juan de Mairena: «Con el toro no se juega, puesto que se le mata, sin utilidad aparte, como si dijéramos de un modo religioso, en holocausto a un dios desconocido.»
Ortega y Gasset, al igual que otros autores como el académico José María de Cossío, realizaba un paralelismo entre las corridas de toros y la historia de España:
Afirmo de la manera más taxativa que no puede comprender bien la Historia de España, desde 1650 hasta hoy, quien no se haya cimentado con rigorosa construcción la historia de las corridas de toros en el sentido estricto del término, no de la fiesta de toros que, más o menos vagamente, ha existido en la Península desde hace tres milenios, sino lo que nosotros actualmente llamamos con ese nombre. La historia de las corridas de toros revela algunos de los secretos más recónditos de la vida nacional española durante casi tres siglos. Y no se trata de vagas apreciaciones, sino que, de otro modo, no se puede definir con precisión la peculiar estructura social de nuestro pueblo durante esos siglos, estructura social que es, en muy importantes órdenes, estrictamente inversa de la normal en las otras naciones de Europa.
José Ortega y Gasset
Otros intelectuales contemporáneos, como Enrique Tierno Galván, subrayaron, en abierta contradicción con los del 98, el carácter socialmente pedagógico de la tauromaquia: «Los toros son el acontecimiento que más ha educado social, e incluso políticamente, al pueblo español». Y abundaba en el refinamiento del gusto artístico que supone para sus aficionados:
El espectador de los toros se está continuamente ejercitando en la apreciación de lo bueno y de lo malo, de lo justo y de lo injusto, de lo bello y de lo feo. El que va a los toros es exactamente lo contrario de aquel aficionado a los espectáculos, de quien dice Platón que no tolera que le hablen de la belleza en sí, de la justicia en sí y de otras cosas semejantes. El espectador de los toros no es un mero, un simple aficionado a lo espectacular, ni tampoco exclusivamente un entusiasta de la exaltación embriagadora, es, mejor que todo esto un amante del conjunto del cual, en cuanto acontecimiento, es parte necesaria.
Los toros acontecimiento nacional, E. Tierno Galván
Una larga lista de escritores de varios países ha escrito exaltando el toreo como una parte importante del alma de sus pueblos. Entre los artistas vivos que defienden el toreo se encuentra el peruano Mario Vargas Llosa, el escultor y pintor colombiano Fernando Botero y el escultor y pintor mexicano Humberto Peraza.
Entre los partidarios de la tauromaquia se encuentran el pintor Francisco de Goya (si bien tuvo, al parecer, una postura ambivalente con respecto a los espectáculos taurinos) y los escritores Nicolás Fernández de Moratín y Valle-Inclán. Filósofos como Fernando Savater o Enrique Tierno Galván, y artistas como Joaquín Sabina o Joan Manuel Serrat, aducen que estas críticas de los antitaurinos obedecen a la ignorancia, ya que el toro de lidia vive en libertad en su hábitat natural y, sin las corridas, no solo se extinguiría el toro bravo, sino el propio ecosistema en que se desenvuelve (las dehesas), sin embargo hay alegatos que refieren a que estas pueden ser protegidas por ley sin la necesidad de criar toros. Otros defensores del toreo, como el catedrático Andrés Amorós, argumenta que nadie ama más al toro que un buen aficionado a las corridas: «nadie admira más su belleza, nadie exige con más vehemencia su integridad y se indigna con mayor furia ante cualquier maltrato, desprecio o manipulación fraudulenta.
This is my entry in Art Bead Scene's January challenge, the theme of which is inspired by William Morris's Trellis Wallpaper, which features soft moss green and a baby pink which reminds me of Betsy Pease Gutmann's paintings of babies and children.
This necklace was not created specifically for the ABS challenge, but I think it's garden/floral theme reflects the themes and colors in the challenge theme very nicely.
I created the pendant focal using an image transfer method for polymer clay. The digital image was created by Lynn Palazzo using one of the famous Victorian "Flower Girls" (Lynn, I hope you don't mind me using it again, it is still my favorite!).
I framed the pendant with antique brass finish filigree and Vintaj components. Keeping to the floral/garden theme, I added Czech glass roses in a delicate blush pink color; Swarovski Vintage Rose crystal bi-cones and Swarovski Sand Opal Rounds; and tiny, luminescent glass seed pearls. I also added Vintaj Natural Brass floral end caps, a bail created from Vintaj's Fanned Trellis filigree embellishment; and created a chain using Vintaj Blossoming Duet fastenables.

TAMPA — Recent studies have shown that heavy doses of caffeine might help prevent or delay the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.
But rather than guzzling down super-caffeinated drinks such as Red Bull or taking stay-awake caffeine pills such as NoDoz, researchers at the University of South Florida say coffee might be the way to go.
A new study points not to caffeine, but rather an unidentified component in coffee that interacts with caffeine, as a potential weapon against the memory-robbing disease that afflicts more than 5 million Americans.
"Caffeinated coffee provides a natural increase in blood GCSF levels," said Dr. Chuanhai Cao of the USF Health Byrd Alzheimer's Institute, a lead author of the study. But, "the exact ways that this occurs is not understood."
Cao said work has begun to identify the component in coffee, but that it could take a year or more.

Use of locally collected native seed and strong partnership involvement are critical components in ongoing coastal prairie restoration projects in BLM California's Arcata Field Office.
Locally collected seed is propagated in a nursery and grass plugs are grown. Thousands of these plugs of native perennial grasses have been planted in projects to meet short-term restoration needs and improve long-term ecological resilience of grasslands in the King Range National Conservation Area.
The Arcata Field Office Mattole Restoration Council (MRC), and Humboldt Fish Action Council (HFAC) have inventoried, mapped, collected, and propagated seed of 12 native perennial bunchgrasses in order to generate enough seed and standing nursery capacity for on the ground restoration projects in the King Range National Conservation Area and Lacks Creek Management Area.
Through partnership, BLM California has utilized native perennial bunchgrass material to meet the needs of several restoration projects, amounting to approximately 230,000 plugs planted, or about 460 new native grass colonies. The BLM is committed to establishing native perennial bunchgrasses before and after disturbance events to enhance natural opportunities for colonial establishment, increased biodiversity, and more rapid recovery.
The King Range and Lacks Creek Management Area Native Perennial Bunchgrass Programs have demonstrated that successful establishment of native perennial bunchgrass colonies, before fire or after fire, can be accomplished through the propagation of locally collected seed followed by transplantation of appropriately spaced plugs.
Pictured here, partners pose for a photo after planting native plant seeds in a nursery, and the results of their efforts. Photo by BLM California.
