I ran into a satellite picture in a site elsewhere that claimed that it was shaped like a swastika. I thought the photo was manipulated, and since it had the original latitude and longitude I went and checked it from Google Maps. Well hell, the photo was legitimate, it does look like a swastika. You can see the original satellite picture here.
An Italian Restaurant in Cap Ferret (France) worth avoiding.
Caroline Doudet, a French blogger, was fined thousands of euros for writing a bad review online. She regrets not having left the restaurant from the beginning and therefore never having written the article--it would have been easier."
En varias tradiciones religiosas Shambhala es un reino mítico escondido en algún lugar más allá de las montañas nevadas del Himalaya.
La localización de Shambala y su naturaleza son objeto de disputa. Mientras algunas tradiciones afirman que existe realmente, otros afirman que es un lugar intangible al que sólo se puede llegar a través de la mente.
Shambhala no es un lugar ordinario :
"Aunque los que tienen una afiliación especial puede realmente ir allí mediante su conexión kármica, sin embargo, Shambala no es un lugar físico que podamos encontrar en la realidad. Sólo puedo decir que es una tierra pura, una tierra pura dentro del ámbito humano. Y a menos que uno tenga el mérito y la asociación kármica real, uno no puede realmente llegar allí."
Tenzin Gyatso XIV Dalai Lama ( durante una iniciación kalachakra en 1985 en la ciudad de Bodhgaya )
Shambhala is not an ordinary country :
"Although those with special affiliation may actually be able to go there through their karmic connection, nevertheless it is not a physical place that we can actually find. We can only say that it is a pure land, a pure land in the human realm. And unless one has the merit and the actual karmic association, one cannot actually arrive there."
Tenzin Gyatso XIV Dalai Lama ( noted during the 1985 Kalachakra initiation in Bodhgaya )

Manitou Island has been on the top of my list of destinations for a few years. I've never been able to fit it in on the itinerary during past trips. Next time, it will likely be my first stop.

Way out there on the Great Plains, vast reaches of the flat landscape are green and abundantly productive -- at least in a peculiar geometric pattern. But for how long? And of course, it wasn't always so. An aerial view such as this one is dramatically different from what one would've seen if flying over Kansas 50 or 60 years ago. As Wil S. Hylton writes in The Atlantic magazine,
"It wasn’t until the 1940s, when a variety of new technologies coalesced on the plains, that large-scale irrigation sprang up for the first time—but from there, the transformation was quick. Within a decade thousands of wells were drilled, creating a spike in productivity as unprecedented as it was unsustainable. Land that had been marginal became dependable; land that was dependable became bountiful. Even as the U.S. population surged, with soldiers returning and babies booming, the output of the plains rose fast enough to meet and exceed demand. No one worried about the aquifer. To farmers it seemed a bottomless reserve, generating the same outlandish volume no matter how many straws went in. Soon there were hundreds of thousands of wells producing the same reliable flow, year after year, without any evident stress. Then, during the early 1990s, farmers throughout the Great Plains began to notice a decline in their wells. Irrigation systems from the Dakotas to Texas dipped, and, in some places, have been abandoned entirely." (From “Broken Heartland: The looming collapse of agriculture on the Great Plains” by Wil S. Hylton)
This situation, of course, is one more part of what many call "the farm problem." In other words, it's something for experts in the field of agriculture to wrestle with, and presumably resolve, right? Or is it?
Not really. As the back cover blurb on a 1984 book titled Gaining Ground states, "If you like to have food on your table, then the farm problem is also your problem, no matter where you live."
Ready to grapple with yet another big problem?
This is the neighborhood we lived in during our year in Kansas City. It was your typical revitalizing warehouse/market district. These few blocks used to be downtown KC, but downtown grew towards the south and then the freeway cut through and cut off the neighborhood for decades. It's only now coming back into its own as a residential and office area in its own right.

So now gMaps has street direction and illustrates public and well known buildings. I'm sure data from the data from the Keyhole Satellite is what is producing these images.
