Aprendiendo a volar encontre una excusa...
una para no existir , una para dejar de fingir...
un lugar muy lejos...
muy lejos de aqui,
lleno de lo que tu..
de lo que tu nunca me diste
y aun asi fingiste y lo rompiste
o si, una vez más,
pero esta vez al ritmo de un tac tac.
pude subirte al cielo o bajar al infierno...
pero no ,
no fue suficiente ,
porque asi tu lo quisiste,
y lo rompiste
una

Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything (42). In the first novel and radio series, a group of hyper-intelligent pan-dimensional beings demand to learn the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything from the supercomputer, Deep Thought, specially built for this purpose. It takes Deep Thought 7½ million years to compute and check the answer, which turns out to be 42. The Ultimate Question itself is unknown. When asked to produce The Ultimate Question, Deep Thought says that it cannot; however, it can help to design an even more powerful computer, the Earth, that can. The programmers then embark on a further ten-million-year program to discover The Ultimate Question. This new computer will incorporate living beings in the "computational matrix", with the pan-dimensional creators assuming the form of mice. The process is hindered after eight million years by the unexpected arrival on Earth of the Golgafrinchans and then is ruined completely, five minutes before completion, when the Earth is destroyed by the Vogons to make way for a new Hyperspace Bypass. This is later revealed to have been a ruse: the Vogons had been hired to destroy the Earth by a consortium of psychiatrists, led by Gag Halfrunt, who feared for the loss of their careers when the meaning of life became known. Lacking a real question, the mice decide not to go through the whole thing again and settle for the out-of-thin-air suggestion "How many roads must a man walk down?" from Bob Dylan's song "Blowin' in the Wind". At the end of the radio series (and television series, as well as the novel The Restaurant at the End of the Universe) Arthur Dent, having escaped the Earth's destruction, potentially has some of the computational matrix in his brain. He attempts to discover The Ultimate Question by extracting it from his brainwave patterns, as abusively suggested by Ford Prefect, when a Scrabble-playing caveman spells out forty two. Arthur pulls random letters from a bag, but only gets the sentence "What do you get if you multiply six by nine?" "Six by nine. Forty two." "That's it. That's all there is." "I always thought something was fundamentally wrong with the universe" Six times nine is, of course, fifty-four. The program on the "Earth computer" should have run correctly, but the unexpected arrival of the Golgafrinchans on prehistoric Earth caused input errors into the system—computing (because of the garbage in, garbage out rule) the wrong question—the question in Arthur's subconscious being invalid all along. Quoting Fit the Seventh of the radio series, on Christmas Eve, 1978: Narrator: There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened. Some readers subsequently noticed that 613 × 913 = 4213 (using base 13). Douglas Adams later joked about this observation, saying, "I may be a sorry case, but I don't write jokes in base 13." In Life, the Universe and Everything, Prak, a man who knows all that is true, confirms that 42 is indeed The Answer, and confirms that it is impossible for both The Answer and The Question to be known about in the same universe (compare the uncertainty principle) as they will cancel each other out and take the Universe with them to be replaced by something even more bizarre (as described in the first theory) and that it may have already happened (as described in the second). Though the question is never found, 42 is shown as the table number at which Arthur and his friends sit when they arrive at Milliways at the end of the radio series. Likewise, Mostly Harmless ends when Arthur stops at a street address identified by his cry of, "There, number 42!" and enters the club Beta, owned by Stavro Mueller (Stavromula Beta). Shortly after, the earth is destroyed in all existing incarnations. The number 42 Douglas Adams was asked many times why he chose the number 42. Many theories were proposed, including the fact that 42 is 101010 in binary code, the fact that light refracts off water by 42 degrees to create a rainbow, the fact that light requires 10−42 seconds to cross the diameter of a proton. Adams rejected them all. On November 3, 1993, he gave an answer on alt.fan.douglas-adams: The answer to this is very simple. It was a joke. It had to be a number, an ordinary, smallish number, and I chose that one. Binary representations, base thirteen, Tibetan monks are all complete nonsense. I sat at my desk, stared into the garden and thought '42 will do'. I typed it out. End of story. Adams described his choice as 'a completely ordinary number, a number not just divisible by two but also six and seven. In fact it's the sort of number that you could without any fear introduce to your parents'. While 42 was a number with no hidden meaning, Adams explained in more detail in an interview with Iain Johnstone of BBC Radio 4 (recorded in 1998 though never broadcast) to celebrate the first radio broadcast's 20th anniversary. Having decided it should be a number, he tried to think what an "ordinary number" should be. He ruled out non-integers, then he remembered having worked as a "prop-borrower" for John Cleese on his Video Arts training videos. Cleese needed a funny number for the punchline to a sketch involving a bank teller (himself) and a customer (Tim Brooke-Taylor). Adams believed that the number that Cleese came up with was 42 and he decided to use it. Adams also had written a sketch for The Burkiss Way called "42 Logical Positivism Avenue", broadcast on BBC Radio 4 on 12 January 1977[10] – 14 months before the Hitchhiker's Guide first broadcast "42" in fit the fourth, 29 March 1978. In January 2000, in response to a panelist's "Where does the number 42 come from?" on the radio show "Book Club" Adams explained that he was "on his way to work one morning, whilst still writing the scene, and was thinking about what the actual answer should be. He eventually decided that it should be something that made no sense whatsoever- a number, and a mundane one at that. And that is how he arrived at the number 42, completely at random." Stephen Fry, a friend of Adams, claims that Adams told him "exactly why 42", and that the reason is "fascinating, extraordinary and, when you think hard about it, completely obvious." However, Fry says that he has vowed not to tell anyone the secret, and that it must go with him to the grave. John Lloyd, Adams' collaborator on The Meaning of Liff and two Hitchhiker's fits, said that Douglas has called 42 "the funniest of the two-digit numbers." The number 42 also appears frequently in the work of Lewis Carroll, and some critics have suggested that this was an influence. Other purported Carroll influences include that Adams named the episodes of the original radio series of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy "fits", the word Carroll used to name the chapters of The Hunting of the Snark. There is the persistent tale that forty-two is actually Adams' tribute to the indefatigable paperback book, and is really the average number of lines on an average page of an average paperback book. On the Internet The number 42 and the phrase, "Life, the universe, and everything" have attained cult status on the Internet. "Life, the Universe, and Everything" is a common name for the off-topic section of an Internet forum and the phrase is invoked in similar ways to mean "anything at all". Many chatbots, when asked about the meaning of life, will answer "42". Several online calculators are also programmed with the Question. If you type the answer to life the universe and everything into Google (without quotes or capitalising the small words), the Google Calculator will give you 42, as will Wolfram's Computational Knowledge Engine. Similarly, if you type the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything into DuckDuckGo, the 0-click box will read "42".[19] In the online community Second Life, there is a section on a sim called "42nd Life." It is devoted to this concept in the book series, and several attempts at recreating Milliways, the Restaurant at the End of the Universe, were made. In the OpenOffice.org software, if you type into any cell of a spreadsheet =ANTWORT("Das Leben, das Universum und der ganze Rest"), which means the answer to life, the universe and everything, the result is 42.[20] ISO/IEC 14519-2001/ IEEE Std 1003.5-1999, IEEE Standard for Information Technology - POSIX(R) Ada Language Interfaces - Part 1: Binding for System Application Program Interface (API) , uses the number '42' as the required return value from a process that terminates due to an unhandled exception. The Rationale says "the choice of the value 42 is arbitrary" and cites the Adams book as the source of the value. The random seed chosen to procedurally create the whole universe including all the regions, constellations, stars, planets, moons and mineral distribution of the online massively multi-player computer game EVE Online was chosen as 42 by its lead game designer in 2002. Cultural references The Allen Telescope Array, a radio telescope used by SETI, has 42 dishes in homage to the Answer. In the TV show Lost, 42 is the last of the mysterious numbers, 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, and 42. In an interview with Lostpedia, producer David Fury confirmed this was a reference to Hitchhiker's. The TV show The Kumars at No. 42 is so named because show creator Sanjeev Bhaskar is a Hitchhiker's fan.[24] The band Coldplay's album Viva la Vida includes a song called "42". When asked by Q magazine if the song's title was Hitchhiker's-related, Chris Martin said, "It is and it isn't." The band Level 42 chose its name in reference to the book. The episode "42" of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who was named in reference to the Answer. Writer Chris Chibnall acknowledged that "it's a playful title". Ken Jennings, defeated along with Brad Rutter in a Jeopardy match against IBM's Watson, writes that Watson's avatar which appeared on-screen for those games showed 42 "threads of thought," and that the number was chosen in reference to this meme.

"Rome Adventure" is one of my favorites movies since I was a kid and finally I got a copy of its soundtrack (love the main theme!). Silly story but I consider it one of the most romantic films ever made (just like "Picnic" from 1956)...or perhaps the 21th century days lost its romanticism...?

Ralph Waldo Emerson. The happiest man is he who learns from nature the lesson of worship.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca: On entering a temple we assume all signs of reverence. How much more reverent then should we be before the heavenly bodies, the stars, the very nature of God!
John Muir: All the wild world is beautiful, and it matters but little where we go, to highlands or lowlands, woods or plains, on the sea or land or down among the crystals of waves or high in a balloon in the sky; through all the climates, hot or cold, storms and calms, everywhere and always we are in God's eternal beauty and love. So universally true is this, the spot where we chance to be always seems the best.
That sucks - I think Canon Should Learn with the competitors
I think Canon should dismiss their Product Manager or the Creative Director or their Marketing Director and learn a little bit how to do things with its competitor Nikon.
Do you think that a machine near the top as the Canon 5D MK II should not have many more AF points.
51 AF Points with 3D Dynamic Tracking AF Area against only 9 AF point with a few more assit point, that realy sucks !
Nikon D300 is a mid range product and Canon 5D MKII is a high end product , do you think so ?
Sometimes, Canon put me "disgusting" sometimes!
PT below - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Eu acho que a Canon deveria despedir o seu Product Manager ou o seu Creative Director ou o Marketing Director e aprender um pouco como se fazem as coisas com a sua concorrente Nikon.
Vocês acham que que uma máquina quase de topo como a Canon 5D MK II não deveria ter muitos mais pontos AF.
Segundo as regras do mercado diz-se que a Nikon D300 é um produto de gama média (semi profissional) e a Canon 5D MKII é um produto de gama alta (profissional), vocês acham isso?
A Canon mete-me "nojo " às vezes !

Visitors from CIMMYT learns about conservation agriculture in action in Mexican farmer Olegario Gonzalez's field. He is testing CA side-by-side with traditional practices: in the foreground is his conventionally-tilled maize, while the group examine his healthy wheat crop being grown under conservation agriculture (CA) in rotation with maize. Although local farmers traditionally only grow maize without crop rotation, he has found that there is demand for his wheat, which he is growing under CA in rotation with maize. “My neighbors are already asking to buy my wheat to add to tortillas [the staple Mexican flatbread] and for seed,” he says.
Thanks to a collaborative project between CIMMYT and local institutions involving farmers, Gonzalez and other farmers in the central Mexican Highlands have been introduced to CA practices and have tried a variety of different rotation crops, including wheat, oats, and triticale. Crop rotation improves soil structure and reduces problems of pests and diseases, and along with zero tillage and residue retention it is one of the key principles of CA.
The aim of CA is to produce stable, high yields with low environmental impact. Direct sowing—without plowing—and retaining crop residues like stalks and leaves on the field helps protect the structure of the soil, retain soil moisture, and prevent erosion. This is crucial on the thin, sloping soils Gonzalez farms; scanty topsoils and eroded gullies created by heavy seasonal rains are all too apparent in the surrounding landscape, but where farmers are implementing CA it is beginning to build their soils back up. Direct seeding, with a single pass rather than several plowings and harrowings, also cuts down on labor and resource use.
CIMMYT is developing an increasing number of hubs throughout Mexico and the world that function as centers for collaborative CA research, capacity-building, demonstration and dissemination, engaging diverse actors and fostering the emergence of regional CA networks. Satellite trial and demonstration plots in farmers' fields help to adapt CA practices to local conditions, and let other farmers see how well CA works.

...of AUTO on my D50, not understanding what the mystical word aperture meant. Bokeh? Never heard of such a thing...
Today I scrolled through some of my 'old' stuff, or let's say stuff from my former self, from the days I hardly knew anything about photographing. There were some keapers, and I even had bokeh in many of them, how peculiar. I learned to look for bokeh in September this year... Quite the newbie here, oh yeah.
This summery one is taken in the last days of May this year. I remember that day, it was my first visit to our summer house for this year. And that is always special.
It is so much fun to go through older photos, done with the knowledge you then had. Before this autumn, the only thing I was aware of was angles and composition, those I knew how to do, those were the things I went for. Everything else was a big question mark.
So why this rendevouz today, why now? Because I'm supposed to be cleaning my appartment, getting all the christmas stuff on their places. I really don't wan't to do that right now, so I just sit here, surfing the net and postponing the hidious thing called cleaning up.
Excellent choice Hannah.

my round 10 push challenge came from Andy
his challenge to me:
I've had a look though your stream and love your work. The phrase "Every picture tells a story" certainly applies to you and i love the quotes you use :)
You seem to do a lot of editing to help create the lovely warm atmosphere in your images so my push to you is.
Take an image that is sharp right across the frame. Take an image of something big and bold, make it cold and almost clinical in the way it's presented. Absolute minimum editing, cropping and levels are all that's allowed.
The subject is up to you all i want to see is something that is the opposite of your normal style :)
++++++++++++
while i do feel i have pulled back on my editing some lately, this was a good push for me, but was probably one of my hardest. i no idea what to shoot for this. and talk about tired...... i was in florida shooting a corporate event for 5 days when the pairs were posted and needed to get a shot done....going on about 3 hours of sleep a night... i was not inspired by anything around me... nothing was big/bold/cold/clinical other than and a shot of the hotel against the blue sky which wasn't inspiring me....i guess that would have fulfilled his "something opposite of my normal style"....but i wanted to like the shot too. ;)
the last day of the event i decided to shoot some of the light fixtures. these things were massive!! I got to go up in the catwalk above the ballroom and took some of those lights... and this one was in the lobby/foyer area outside the ballroom. i'm looking straight up at this one shooting with the 135mm. i did rotate and crop this a tiny bit and adjusted the levels for a little "colder" feel. i don't know that you necessarily get the feel of it's scale, but trust me, they were massive.
Thanks for the push Andy. I had a tough time with this one!
Among the many intriguing little curious things about Denmark, we learn that we danes have over many centuries developed skills, ways and means, to nurture and improve one of our rare cultural habits called ”At hygge sig”.- (To "hygge" oneself)
This concept ”hygge” does not exist other places in the know universe, which will prove and explain any attempt to translate it futile.
Hygge is very important to danes. It sort of defines a dane and often a dane abroad can recognize a fellow countryman alone on the specfic way they ”hygger” them self.
Children coming home from visiting friends on an ordinary day in Denmark would typically be asked immediately after entering the door if -> ..the visit was ”hyggeligt”? - Answering "Yes" would be greated with a smile, where as answering ”No” would raise immediate suspicion.
The same thing would happen even after a VERY suspicious husband has been sitting up all night, waiting for his wife to come home from the yearly christmas party at work. Even though only one question would be on his mind and even though he would be DYING to ask it, danish tradition roots so deep that even in this stressed situation, our relationship with the hygge is so fundamental that he would as the first thing ask her if ->”..the party was ”hyggeligt”?
Obviously you look at this picture thinking how on earth this picture can illustrate what hygge is ”and..” you think to yourself ”perhaps it is something to do with.. with.. nice!?” - Now you are beginning to think like a dane ;o) But nice.. is just nice. Hygge SEEM nice at first, but then it creep up on you and suddenly you realize calling hygge for ”nice”, is like.. calling T-girls for ”Tomboys”. No, it takes years of intensive study and close immersion into danish society to understand but the upper layers of the deep sea one will find Hygge to be, when first one has broken through the soft surface of what would at first admitted, appear to be ”just” nice. But in depth to understand the many layers of the hygge, to absorb and fully grasp the introspective dimensions of the concept, one will have to study the hygge so closely among danes and throughout such long periods of time, that when one finally wake up one morning truly understanding the hygge. One would find one self... to have become.. A dane.
