Peregrine Falcon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

The Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus), also known simply as the Peregrine,[2] and historically as the "Duck Hawk" in North America,[3] is a cosmopolitan bird of prey in the family Falconidae. It is a large, crow-sized falcon, with a blue-gray back, barred white underparts, and a black head and "moustache". It can reach speeds over 320 km/h (200 mph) in a dive, making it the fastest animal in the world.[4] As is common with bird-eating raptors, the female is much bigger than the male.[5][6] Experts recognize 17–19 subspecies, which vary in appearance and range; there is disagreement over whether the distinctive Barbary Falcon is a subspecies or a distinct species.

 

The Peregrine's breeding range includes land regions from the Arctic tundra to the Tropics. It can be found nearly everywhere on Earth, except extreme polar regions, very high mountains, and most tropical rainforests; the only major ice-free landmass from which it is entirely absent is New Zealand. This makes it the world's most widespread bird of prey.[7] Both the English and scientific names of this species mean "wandering falcon", referring to the migratory habits of many northern populations.

 

While its diet consists almost exclusively of medium-sized birds, the Peregrine will occasionally hunt small mammals, small reptiles or even insects. It reaches sexual maturity at one year, and mates for life. It nests in a scrape, normally on cliff edges or, in recent times, on tall human-made structures.[8] The Peregrine Falcon became an endangered species in many areas due to the use of pesticides, especially DDT. Since the ban on DDT from the beginning of the 1970s onwards, the populations recovered, supported by large scale protection of nesting places and releases to the wild.[9]

Icy wind blows between the houses, flashes quickly in the night on the streets of the rotten city. A shade, a woman, her eyes are shiver and charm, her look magnetize you, it won't let you go.

The photoshoot shows the creature in an own perspective, who became nowadays very popular in books, films and series. The vampire. The immortal being of the past, the present and the future.

 

Az időn át - Vámpír krónikák (a múlt)

 

Jeges szél süvít a házak közt, fürgén cikázik az éjszakában a romlott város utcáin. Egy árny, egy nő, a szeme borzongás és igézet, megbűvöl a tekintete, nem ereszt.

A sorozat saját szemszögünkből mutatja be azt a lényt, aki mára oly divatossá vált könyvekben, filmekben és tévésorozatokban. A vámpírt. A múlt, a jelen és a jövő alakját, aki halhatatlansággal bír.

La sua spiegazione per questa foto:

 

"By combining two exposures - one for the night sky and the other for the landscape at twilight, I was able to create this image. I consider it among my most unique images to date. What you are looking at is a remote backcountry in the Tetons and the milky way above. My exposure for the sky takes in more than five times as much light as is discernable to the naked eye, using an extremely high ISO (combined with noise reduction techniques), a big aperture of f/2.8 and keeping the shutter open for 45 seconds. The sky is totally natural in color despite being relatively invisible to us. The glow behind the peaks comes from the moon that set almost an hour before this capture. The bright spot at left is a planet. This shot is a culmination of technical advancements in photography and a great deal of diligence on my own part in the field, figuring out how to put it all together. I camped at this location three nights to achieve this result. " by Marc Adamus

ISO 400 300mm f/32 1/200s. 1 SB-800 @ 24mm 1/8th power snooted left and underneath the subject.

 

I first tried this shot with the flash on the sand in it's lowest postion, but the light looked flat and lack insperation. Then had the idea to lay the flash and stand on the groung very close to the flower. The end of the 12" snoot was 4 inches from the flower. The quality of the light then changed dramatically, giving me a level of texture and detail that I didn't get from a flash directly above.

the forest fires which are burning all up and down california are of course nature's way

 

and yet ..

 

hearts are with the wild animals for whom this was home!

 

and with the human folks, and their dear pets and pastured animals, who live where the fires are ferociously encroaching...

  

~

  

am hesitant to even write of these fires in any personal way ..

yet my heart compels me to ... as two of the places that have been most fiercely engulfed in flames are the places i've most fiercely loved..

big sur and carmel valley

  

carmel valley is where, right before coming to hawaii, i lived in a cabin in the middle of nowhere ...

owls, bobcat, swallows, rattlesnakes, donkeys, cows and stars were my only neighbors.

on the same land, a little lake was home to many wild things.. including a beloved (albeit crabby :) swan .. many ducks and ducklings .. and fish

and it was a stopover for orchestras of canada geese ...

 

i so hope this bit of land is safe... have not been able to find out ..

(of all the places i've ever lived, i loved it most.)

  

and...

 

over several enchanted years in the 1970's, i lived in four magical places in big sur ... and worked at three.

 

from what i can tell from the news, all of these homes may be gone .... and all of the places i worked have fire licking at their edges.

  

the initial big sur fire, called "the coast gallery fire", started from lightning at the coast gallery, high above the sea.

do not know if the gallery, which served all the artists of big sur back then, is now still there..

 

the "coast gallery" is where i first lived and worked in big sur..

(and where somehow the gallery itself held on when the mountain there collapsed into the sea.. literally right up to my doorstep.. taking with it the sole road, that part of highway 1 .. and, most sadly, a precious soul who was working on the highway in the middle of the night, just after the outset of this sudden landslide.)

  

the two other places i worked, "ventana" (when it first opened) and the historic "nepenthe", have been evacuated and are in severe danger right now.

  

the magical house described in another image on my stream .. the one where potato vines grew up and through the walls in my attic home.. then flowered! .. is likely gone.....

as it was above the wonderful "deetjen's big sur inn", where fires came down the mountain and right up to the cottages and restaurant of the inn.

  

also lived in an artist studio high atop a ridge where the fires have blazed homes..

and, at the other end of big sur, i lived in a cottage with my boyfriend sandy, a harpsichord maker ...

from what i can gather, that cottage and the harpsichord studio that sandy and i built are gone.

  

so...

these personal connections are only the tiniest of tiny specks in the whole..

but i am sorrowful.

  

~

  

my whole heart goes out to everyone whose homes all along the coastal areas of california, and inland, are in danger or have burned ...

 

and especially to the wild animals and their babies of spring.

  

≈ prayers for them .. all and each ≈

Sin importar los consejos de técnicos e ingenieros en materia de transporte, en Marzo del corriente, el Diputado de la Coalición Cívica en la Legislatura porteña y uno de los miembros de la Comisión de Tránsito y Transporte, Sergio Abrevaya intenta transformar en Ley el proyecto por el cual se autoriza al Poder Ejecutivo a prolongar la traza de la Línea A de Subterráneos a partir de la Estación Nazca (denominada actualmente como San Pedrito), hasta la intersección de la Av. Juan Bautista Alberdi con la calle Cosquín, a 7 cuadras de la Av. Gral. Paz.

Todos conocemos la imperiosa necesidad de extender la red. Pero hay maneras de llevarlo a cabo y sin presupuesto sabemos que las líneas no se extenderán por sí solas o por arte de magia. Ya se sabe que el macrismo decidió no extender la red con la excusa de que el ejecutivo Nacional no le entregó los avales necesarios para llevarlo adelante. También, se sabe que el dinero que debería gastarse para extender la red la utilizó (Macri) en repavimentación y bacheo, priorizando así al automóvil particular y a los colectivos desmereciendo la importancia del subterráneo en una ciudad tan grande y tan compleja como lo es Buenos Aires.

Las buenas intenciones del diputado Abrevaya son bienvenidas para los porteños siempre y cuando se cumpla primero con lo proyectado en la Ley Nº 670 que establece la creación de tres nuevas líneas de subterráneo transversales (la "F", que iría de Constitución a Plaza Italia y luego de Constitución a Barracas; la "G", que iría de Retiro al Cid Campeador y luego hasta Villa del Pque; y la "I", que iría de Pque. Chacabuco a Plaza Italia y luego hasta Barrancas de Belgrano y Ciudad Universitaria. A esto se le suma la terminación total de la línea "H" hacia Retiro, hoy incompleta con sus escasas 5 estaciones que van de Av. Caseros a Plaza Once) que cumplirán un papel importante en la conectividad subterránea porque gracias a ellas, las actuales radiales (A, B, D y E) se verán notablemente aliviadas desalentando de esta manera el uso del automóvil particular y desaturando el flujo de pasajeros en colectivos.

Es así que Abrevaya prefiere saturar la línea A extendiéndola mas allá de los límites establecidos en vez de priorizar y focalizar las energías en la postergada creación de los ramales transversales (F, G, H e I) necesarios para que, en un futuro, podamos extender la mencionada y las demás radiales mas allá de San Pedrito (líneas A y E), Villa Uquiza (línea B) y Congreso de Tucumán (D). Priorizar la extensión de la línea mas antigua de Sudamérica por sobre las demás transversales proyectadas anteriormente sería nefasto si antes no comienzan con lo "cajoneado". Hay un tiempo para todo y apresurarse en materia de subtes no es el camino para lograr el éxito conectivo transversal que le hace falta a Buenos Aires. Otra alternativa sería ejecutar todas las obras (extensiones) en simultáneo pero todos sabemos que raras veces ha sucedido eso, sobre todo en Argentina.

Actualmente, y desde Julio de 2004, andan extendiendo la línea A desde su ex cabecera en Primera Junta hasta San Pedrito. El 22 de Diciembre pasado se inauguró el tramo I que va de Primera Junta a Carabobo. El segundo tramo volverá a fijar su fecha de inauguración cuando el ejecutivo porteño destine mas presupuesto al área donde hace poco (Octubre 2008) comenzaron la construcción de la cochera taller Nazca que irá posterior a la futura terminal de la línea A, San Pedrito; fijado como cabecera definitiva de la línea al Oeste de la Ciudad, en el barrio de Flores.

Similar disparate fue el proyecto presentado por el diputado nacional Norberto Erro, que proponía extender la línea D desde la estación Congreso de Tucumán hasta Puente Saavedra, desconociendo el impacto que tendría la iniciativa.

Ninguna de las actuales líneas, menos la C y la H que son transversales pero de corto trayecto, deben prolongarse mas allá de los límites y estudios técnicos fijados por SBASE (Subterráneos de Buenos Aires S.E.), la empresa estatal del Gobierno de la Ciudad que expande la red.

De todas maneras, no tendrían con que llevarlo a cabo ya que no hay presupuesto ni siquiera para terminar lo que estaba en marcha. Las buenas intenciones se desmoronan cuando un proyecto excede la realidad no resuelta por falta de iniciativa del ejecutivo porteño, o por falta de vocación en la materia. Y todo, pasa por el presupuesto. Sin presupuesto no llegamos a ningún lado muchachos.

Siguiente texto: Sergio Abrevaya.

  

PROYECTO DE LEY

  

Artículo 1º Autorízase al Poder Ejecutivo a prolongar la traza de la Línea A de Subterráneos de Buenos Aires a partir de la Estación Nazca, para que continúe por debajo de las Avdas.: Rivadavia, Olivera y Juan Bautista Alberdi, hasta su intersección con la calle Cosquín, habilitando seis (6) nuevas estaciones en las inmediaciones de las siguientes arterias: Segurola, Carrasco, Olivera, Escalada, Larrazabal y Cosquín.

 

Artículo 2° Declárase de utilidad pública el subsuelo de los bienes necesarios para la ejecución de la obra indicada en el artículo 1° de la presente Ley, en los términos del artículo 4° de la Ley N° 238.

 

Artículo 3° Autorízase al Poder Ejecutivo, a través de Subterráneos de Buenos Aires Sociedad del Estado -SBASE-, a efectuar los correspondientes llamados a Licitación Pública para la construcción de las obras de ampliación detalladas en al artículo 1º de la presente Ley, y a efectuar los aportes del valor total de las inversiones para las construcciones antedichas, las que incluyen toda la infraestructura necesaria más el material rodante para garantizar el servicio público.

 

Artículo 4° El Poder Ejecutivo debe cumplir con lo dispuesto en el artículo 7° de la Ley N° 670, modificada por el artículo 4° de la Ley N° 2.710, en lo que respecta a los informes bimestrales a la Legislatura, en relación a lo determinado por el artículo 1° de la presente Ley.

 

Articulo 5º Comuníquese, etc.

  

FUNDAMENTOS

  

Nos encontramos convencidos de que el servicio de transporte en subterráneo soluciona gran parte de la problemática del tránsito y el transporte que tiene la Ciudad de Buenos Aires.

 

En este marco, la presente iniciativa tiende a mejorar la calidad de vida y de desplazamiento de gran parte de los habitantes del oeste y del sur de nuestra Ciudad, particularmente de los Barrios de Flores, Floresta, Parque Avellaneda y Mataderos.

 

Es dable destacar, que las grandes ciudades del mundo ya han optado, hace mucho, por desarrollar este medio de transporte que está comprobado que genera eficiencia, conectividad y desarrollo económico. El mismo permite viajar en forma rápida, segura y eficiente.

 

Consideramos que la extensión de la red de subtes de la Ciudad es la mejor iniciativa para mejorar la problemática del transporte público urbano y es la gran solución para reducir la cantidad de vehículos que transitan por las arterias porteñas diariamente.

 

En tal sentido, y teniendo en cuenta la postergación crónica en inversiones públicas que padecen algunos sectores de la Ciudad, proponemos la prolongación de la Línea A de Subterráneos de Buenos Aires, a partir de la Estación Nazca, para que continúe por debajo de las Avdas. Rivadavia, Olivera y Jun Bautista Alberdi hasta su intersección con la calle Cosquín, habilitando seis (6) nuevas estaciones en las inmediaciones de las siguientes arterias: Segurola, Carrasco, Olivera, Escalada, Larrazabal y Cosquín.

 

Por todo lo expuesto solicito la sanción de la presente iniciativa.

En imagen: Gran andén central de la futura estación San Pedrito de la línea A de subtes. Al fondo, tímpano SudOeste, donde actualmente llega la traza total de esta línea. Próximamente, las máquinas excavadoras avanzarán del otro lado, bajando por la rampa de la calle Azul, en Floresta, en dirección a estos muros demoliéndolos y así enlazar la obra del segundo tramo con las obras complementarias (cochera taller) provenientes de Floresta. Obras que están dentro del límite establecido por Subterráneos de Buenos Aires S.A.

Unlikely: a graphic novel by Jeffery Brown. It does have its charm and the awkwardness is painfully familiar, but as pretty much everything else he does it is quite bittersweet. Don't read this if you're recently unlucky in love.

 

I was only familiar with his work through anthologies and articles, so I was surprised by the dirty bits that excerpts tend to leave out. I'll have to read Clumsy next. Dirty bits can get me to read pretty much anything. Don't look at me like that; I know you weren't reading DickGirl Bride for the art, homes.

A couple of stories about today! This might be a long description, but please read! I love conversing with all of you! :)

 

SOOO...last night I went to my best friends house for the night. I was driving home this morning, going down this road that no one EVER goes down, and the speed limit is forty for some reason. So I'm just cruising at around 55-60. So, I come around a corner, and there's a lovely little Sheriff doing his duty. Of course I KNEW he was going to pull me over, even if I slowed down, he would've pulled me over because I still would've been way over. So that completely ruined my day it seemed. I have a lovely little yellow ticket now, a court date, I can already see two or three hundred bucks coming out of my paycheck, AND my insurance going up. OH JOY. I'm not going to court though, you can call a number on the back and just pay it :)

 

So, I get home, and I was all stressed so of course when I show it to my parents I start crying cause I was so mad. I'm such a child...oh well.

 

THEN, I GO to work, and find out my shift was cut. Which kinda sucked.

 

So I go back home, and prepare for our HUGE yard sale. We are going through our three room attic and all the rest of our house and selling as MUCH as we can from 10 cents and up. My step niece Katelyn, (she's 7), comes over and really cheers me up. She helped me put price stickers on everything, and was SO helpful. She really looks up to me, and she's so sweet. It's funny how children can really cheer you up.

 

Speaking of the yard sale, if you happen to live near me, hit me up with a message and you can come! :)

 

The yard sale is next weekend and my parents picked the PERFECT time to have it. The (5th?) Annual Classic Car Show in Senoia Georgia. :D

 

It's literally right next to my house. SO many cars come...and I'm a SUCKER for classic cars. So sleek, fashionable, and unique. People always park in our yard, >:O , so they can park this time and come and see our yard sale. We'll get lots of business that way.

 

So of course, every year, I take my camera down to the car show and go crazy. There are so many cars to take pictures of, and so many interesting things going on. I'm SO excited. Plus, I get boiled peanuts...my favorite.

 

The camera above was found today in our attic. I was ECSTATIC. It's a Canon AE-1. It has a 50mm 1.4 lens on it. It also has a wide angle lens as well. Not only that, but it's in MINT condition. Right now the film isn't developed and the battery is dead, so we're going to get all that fixed and see what lies in the film! I can't wait to learn a thing or two with this film camera! :D

 

I hope everyone is doing well! :)

 

A FEW QUESTIONS:

What was your most expensive speeding ticket, and how fast were you going over?

 

Classical cars, or modern and futuristic cars?

 

Digital or Film photography?

The Viceregal Lodge, Obervatory Hill, Shimla, India, by Henry Irwin. Completed 1888; tower height increased later by Lord Curzon. Local grey sandstone and light blue limestone, with iron girders, beams, and trusses.

 

Built on a high 331-acre site, levelled for the purpose, this mock-Tudor or baronial-style building is visible from far down the hillside, and was intended as a proud symbol of Empire. Over the portico at the main entrance is a coat of arms with inscriptions above it naming the architect (Irwin), the executive and assistant engineers (F. B. Hebbert and others) and the Earl of Dufferin as the current Viceroy. Dufferin was the first to occupy the new Lodge. The columned arches along the façade are echoed in the arches of alternating widths supporting the verandas. Just visible to the left of the main entrance, on the first floor, is one of the unobtrusive external iron spiral staircases provided for the lowliest menial staff, the bathroom sweepers.

 

Inside, the main hall is panelled in teak. The unicorn originally carved over the impressive main fireplace has since been replaced by the Indian wheel of progress. The double-galleried corridor off to the left is lit by mullioned windows and a glass ceiling, and leads to the ballroom, now the library of the Institute of Advanced Studies. On the ground floor were also the dining hall, lounge and drawing room. On the upper floors were the Viceroy's office and rooms. To the right of the main hall is a splendid three-storey high teak staircase, the kind of feature, no doubt, that earned Irwin his eulogy in the Madras Mail, to the effect that his genius was displayed in his interiors. In the morning room and visitors' lounge on this side, finishing touches like a walnut ceiling with a Kashmiri design, lavish wall-coverings (some of which remain more or less intact), an original chandelier and so on, can still be seen. Maple & Co, London, were the western suppliers. A large picture of one of the Vicereines, Lady Elgin, hangs over the fireplace of the visitors' lounge.

 

For its day, the Lodge had state-of-the-art technology. It had its own steam generator, and was the first building in Shimla to employ electric lighting. Indeed, Lady Dufferin, the first Vicereine in residence, is said to have first used an electric light switch here. The original light panel is still in place (with an added fusebox). The Lodge also had running hot and cold water, together with a sophisticated system for collecting and storing bath and rainwater, including two tanks under the front lawn.

 

Outside in the landscaped grounds stands a tall tulip tree, a rarity in an area dominated by pines and deodars. It was planted during the stay of the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Viceroy who replaced Dufferin in 1888.

Your Lord is saying, "You've tried everything, My child. None of your schemes, none of your efforts has done it. You've got your fingerprints all over everything from trying to make it happen. And now you're tired and you're frustrated. You're out of options. Are you ready for Me to take over?" Sure, you've been praying about it, but not that impassioned prayer of total desperation, of total surrender. And desperation is the heart condition with which God can do the most. And as long as you think you can do it, you'll never be desperate enough to surrender and leave it totally up to God.

 

It's time to finally get out of God's way and let Him do what He wants to do, what only He can do. You may be on the edge of experiencing His power in a greater way than ever before. And that power comes right after, "Lord, I give up" - the most powerful prayer you'll ever pray.

L'assetto architettonico dell'attuale abitato si manifestò solo nel medioevo quando, alla fine del Trecento, i Visconti edificarono il poderoso castello dal tipico impianto quadrilatero, con fossato, cortile interno e quattro torri angolari.

  

Il Castello di Sartirana Lomellina nella calda luce di un tramonto primaverileSotto gli Sforza il castello fu assegnato a Cicco Simonetta, potente ministro ducale in seguito accusato di tradimento e decapitato, che avviò importanti opere di trasformazione. Alla redazione del progetto partecipò l'architetto Bartolomeo Fioravanti, il noto architetto militare che di lì a poco venne chiamato a Mosca dallo zar Ivan II per concorrere alla realizzazione delle difese del Cremlino. Il maniero fu interamente sovralzato e la grande torre rotonda, ora simbolo del paese, rafforzata alla base con una struttura poliedrica.

Il castello ospita oggi il Centro Studi della Lomellina, che realizza interessanti eventi culturali, e la Fondazione Sartirana Arte con le sue collezioni di argenti contemporanei, gioielli d'artista, grafica d'arte, oggetti di cultura contadina, e importanti mostre con rilievo internazionale.

Nel caratteristico abitato sorto attorno al castello sono degni di nota alcuni interessanti edifici come la parrocchiale dedicata all'Assunta (XV secolo) e la chiesa barocca di San Rocco (adiacente al castello), un palazzetto visconteo con belle finestre e decorazioni in cotto ed il camposanto dall'aspetto neo-gotico.

Shot it at Gangasagar Fair.Gangasagar Mela is the largest fair celebrated in West Bengal (INDIA). This fair is held where the Ganga and the Bay of Bengal form a nexus. Hence the name Gangasagar Mela. This festival is celebrated during January every year and is a major attraction for millions of pilgrims from all over India.

The pilgrims come for a holy dip on Makar Sankranti (last day of the Bengali Month) Negha -Mid January. They take dips in the Ganges and offer water to the Sun God. The dip, as they say, purifies their 'self' and according to them, 'punya' can be obtained thus. When they are done with the ritual obligations, they head towards the Kapilmuni Temple situated nearby, to worship the deity as a mark of respect......

Turnaround, every now and then I get a

little bit lonely and you're never coming around

Turnaround, Every now and then I get a

little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears

Turnaround, Every now and then I get a

little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by

Turnaround, Every now and then I get a

little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes

Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and

then I fall apart

Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and

then I fall apart

 

Turnaround, Every now and then I get a

little bit restless and I dream of something wild

Turnaround, Every now and then I get a

little bit helpless and I'm lying like a child in your arms

Turnaround, Every now and then I get a

little bit angry and I know I've got to get out and cry

Turnaround, Every now and then I get a

little bit terrified but then I see the look in your eyes

Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and

then I fall apart

Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and

And I need you now tonight

And I need you more than ever

And if you'll only hold me tight

We'll be holding on forever

And we'll only be making it right

Cause we'll never be wrong together

We can take it to the end of the line

Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time

I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark

We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks

I really need you tonight

Forever's gonna start tonight

Forever's gonna start tonight

 

Once upon a time I was falling in love

But now I'm only falling apart

There's nothing I can do

A total eclipse of the heart

Once upon a time there was light in my life

But now there's only love in the dark

Nothing I can say

A total eclipse of the heart

 

Turnaround bright eyes

Turnaround bright eyes

Turnaround, every now and then I know

you'll never be the boy you always you wanted to be

Turnaround, every now and then I know

you'll always be the only boy who wanted me the way that I am

Turnaround, every now and then I know

there's no one in the universe as magical and wonderous as you

Turnaround, every now and then I know

there's nothing any better and there's nothing I just wouldn't do

Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and

L'Alpe d'Huez is one of the main mountains in the Tour de France. The climb is 13.8 km at an average 7.9 per cent, with 21 hairpin bends. It was first included in the race in 1952 and has been a stage finish regularly since 1976.

The race was brought to the mountain by Élie Wermelinger, the chief commissaire or referee.[1] He drove his Dyna-Panhard car between snow banks that lined the road in March 1952, invited by a consortium of businesses who had opened hotels at the summit.[2] Their leader was Georges Rajon, who ran the Hotel Christina.[3] The ski station there opened in 1936. Wermelinger reported to the organiser, Jacques Goddet, and the Tour signed a contract with the businessmen to include the Alpe.

If one think that the women's veil is an islamic feature, well he is wrong. Here is an excerpt from the Bible :

 

"1 Corinthians 11:3-12

 

Now I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.

Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head.

And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is just as though her head were shaved.

If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off; and if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, she should cover her head. A man ought not to cover his head,[a] since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.

For man did not come from woman, but woman from man;

neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.

For this reason, and because of the angels the woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head.

 

So we see that since the man is the glory of God and the woman is the glory of man then she has to wear the veil as a sign of authority. Her wearing the veil shows that she is subjected in authority to the man. "

 

Concerning the women roles, this text tells women to wear the veil so that it can show that they are subjected to man in authority !!! And this is not a matter of religion..it is just a machist exemple of oppression..

La catedral de Cuernavaca (Templo de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción) se encuentra ubicada en el Centro Histórico de la Ciudad de Cuernavaca.

 

En 1525, cuatro años después de la conquista, llegaron a las costas de México varios grupos de misioneros, siendo los primeros en establecerse en el Valle de Morelos los 12 primeros frailes franciscanos; procedían a edificar la capilla abierta para colaborar en convertir a la fe cristiana a los indígenas. En 1529 se ratificó la fundación formal del monasterio. En 1891 fue elevado a la categoría de Catedral por Leon XIII.

 

De la primera etapa constructiva sólo sobreviven el casco de la iglesia y las arcadas de la planta baja del convento.

 

La Catedral de Cuernavaca esta formada por un conjunto de tres templos: Dolores, del Carmen y de la Tercera Orden, una capilla abierta de San José, el atrio, la Iglesia de La Asunción y el propio convento.

The Serenity of Nature by Garrett Bradley

  

The serenity of nature fills my soul with peace

 

As I lay back on the crisp, yet soft grass

I let my mind wander to a tranquil state

Where pain and suffering is nonexistent

And only the serenity of nature remains

 

While in my state of placidity

I watch in awe as nature works its wonders

I see the trees dancing to the wind's soft, sweet song

A host of bird's announcing the end of a wondrous day

An array of brightly colored flowers

Flaunt their beauty to the world

The pillow-like clouds, like sheep, graze in a large blue meadow

And hide the seemingly shy sun

 

And as i experience this beautiful setting

A gentle breeze whispers to me

'Time to go'

 

The serenity of nature fills my soul with peace

Todos los que hemos pasado por la fotografía química añoramos la saturación y colores de los fuji velvia y los kodachrome. Al ser diapositivas, la proyección era impresionante. Las imágenes eran perfectas, los contrastes claros y concisos. En fín, esta foto es un homenaje al carrete que aún seguimos muchos usando.

  

Por otra parte, Palazuelos es una localidad situada en el norte de la provincia de Guadalajara (Castilla-La Mancha, España) a 7 Km. al noroeste de la ciudad de Sigüenza (a cuyo municipio está adscrita) por la carretera CM-110 (Sigüenza-Atienza). Palazuelos se encuentra integrado en la 10ª Ruta de Don Quijote y en la Ruta del Románico Rural o de la Marca Media.

 

Según la clasificación jurídica tradicional de las localidades castellanas tiene la calificación de villa, tal y como se puede leer en una inscripción a la entrada del pueblo desde el Este (conocida como “Puerta de la Villa”). Esta calificación quiere decir que Palazuelos poseía concejo municipal y jueces (alcaldes) propios, lo que queda materializado simbólicamente en la existencia del rollo-picota (para ajusticiar a los reos que así fuesen condenados) en la Plaza Mayor.

 

Palazuelos posee una traza urbanística medieval que se mantiene todavía intramuros del conjunto fortificado del siglo XV, conservado prácticamente en su totalidad. Las medidas de protección con las que ha ido contando fueron recogidas y adaptadas por el decreto 19/2002 de la Junta de Comunidades de Castilla-La Mancha con la figura de Bien de Interés Cultural con la categoría de Conjunto Histórico.

C'è un luogo dove la pace della natura

Filtra in noi come la luce del sole tra gli alberi

Dove i venti ci comunicano la loro forza

e gli affanni si staccano da noi come le foglie.

Non è difficile arrivarci:

basta guardarsi dentro...

... e avere un cuore pulito.

There are twenty years to go

Enjoy the ride, the medicine show.

And thems the breaks for we designer fakes.

We need to concentrate on more then meets the eye.

There are twenty years to go,

the faithful and the low.

The best of starts, the broken heart, the stone.

There are twenty years the go,

the punch drunk and the blow.

The worst of starts, the mercy part, the phone.

And thems the breaks for we designer fakes.

We need to concentrate on more then meets the eye.

And thems the breaks for we designer fakes.

But it's you I take 'cause your the truth not I.

There are twenty years to go.

A golden age I know.

But all will pass, will end to fast, you know.

There are twenty years to go,

and many friends I hope.

Though some may hold the rose some hold the rope.

And that's the end and that's the start of it.

That's the whole and that's the part of it.

That's the high and that's the heart of it.

That's the long and that's the short of it.

That's the best and that's the test in it.

That's the doubt, the doubt,

the trust in it.

That's the sight and that's the sound of it.

That's the gift and that's the trick in it.

 

You're the truth not I.

Isola dei Pescatori (lit. Fishermen’s Island) is an island of Lago Maggiore in northern Italy. As the most northerly of the three principal Borromean Islands it is also known as Isola Superiore and, with a population of about 50, it is the only one to be inhabited all year round. Unlike Isola Bella and Isola Madre, the island no longer belongs to the Borromeo.

 

The island is about 350 meters long by 100 meters wide. A narrow street running along its spine is joined by cobbled alleys to the promenade which encircles the island. The promenade is frequently flooded and the houses built against it are constructed to allow for this.

 

While the traditional occupation of fishing still exists—local restaurants providing a ready market for the fish—tourism has become central to the economic life of the island as its picturesque charms have made Isola dei Pescatori a popular destination: particularly for day-trippers but also for more extended visits. In addition to the hotel(s), restaurants and gift-shops there are boutiques selling craft products.

 

The church of San Vittore (Victor the Moor) retains traces of an ancient chapel which was probably constructed for the monks of Scozzòla (an abbey of San Donato di Sesto Calende founded by Liutardo, bishop of Pavia, in the mid ninth century [1]. The church was previously dedicated to S. Gangolfo (Gangulphus), whose veneration is linked with the Abbey of San Donato.

I'm so freaking happy with this one. :-)

 

I would be even happier if you did you-know-what.

 

It’s been snowing off and on today, sometimes with those really big, sticky white flakes. So around noon I thought, “I must go outside to take my photo.”

 

I often have an idea that has to wait to be realized because of circumstances, such as the fact that I assume nudity is illegal in the park down the road (hence the self-portrait I see in my head of me standing on a rock in the creek, in the sun, with my angel wings on, has to wait).

 

I’m a bit obsessed with the wing theme. It’s an angel obsession, really, and I have a hard time explaining it since I grew up with essentially no religion and the little I did have was Jewish. We don’t really do angels. I chalk it up to the same reasons that my Christian friends growing up who said prayers before bed fascinated me. I wanted that sort of comforting presence in my life. At a very young age I was looking for ways to “prove” there was some sort of force surrounding me; guiding me.

 

It’s funny, just the other night my daughter mentioned the little rainbow-ish ‘floaters’ that appear if you stare into dead space in a dark room. I was fascinated by them, and convinced myself that they were fairies. I told her that and she didn’t even think it was weird, for a change. If you’re not sure what I’m talking about, however, you may very well think I’m weird.

 

Since taking self-portraits, that obsession with angels has resurfaced, only now I tend to use it as a metaphor for our human frailties (and I do not mean that in a bad way), and our need for comfort yet not always knowing where to look. I create many of the images as “fallen” or anguished angels…angels who no longer know how to take care of us in this world; angels who find this world heartbreaking.

 

Today I saw the snow and thought of my white wings and I knew I had to get out there, no matter how cold it was and no matter if my camera might get damp. I put on a white dress with a jacket over it. I set up the tripod with the camera on it, settings ready, remote attached and brought them and a towel in one hand, my wings in the other, into my backyard.

 

The snow didn’t cooperate as I had hoped…the flakes turned almost invisible for exactly the amount of time I was outside. When I came back in, shivering, and got dressed, I saw the big fat flakes had returned. I was annoyed, but not enough to go through everything again to go re-shoot. Instead I worked with what I had, layering other images of snow and old daguerreotypes to create textured, and painterly images. I worked on three and I really love how they came out. I’ll likely post the other two within the week.

 

Something about this particular image, however, struck me as different than my previous ‘angel’ images.

 

It seems hopeful.

Rome (Italy).

 

View large on black!

 

The Pantheon (meaning "every god" in Greek) is a building in Rome, originally built by Marcus Agrippa as a temple to all the gods of Ancient Rome, and rebuilt in the early 2nd century AD. A near-contemporary writer, Cassius Dio, speculates that the name comes from the statues of many gods placed around the building, or from the resemblance of the dome to the heavens. Since the French Revolution, when the church of Sainte-Geneviève, Paris, was deconsecrated and turned into a secular monument, the Panthéon, the generic term pantheon may be applied to any building in which illustrious dead are honoured or buried.

 

The building is circular with a portico of three ranks of huge granite Corinthian columns (eight in the first rank and two groups of four behind) under a pediment opening into the rotunda, under a coffered, concrete dome, with a central opening (oculus) open to the sky. Almost two thousand years after it was built, the Pantheon's dome is still the world's largest unreinforced concrete dome. The height to the oculus and the diameter of the interior circle are the same, 43.3 metres (142 ft). A rectangular structure links the portico with the rotunda. It is one of the best preserved of all Roman buildings. It has been in continuous use throughout its history. Since the 7th century, the Pantheon has been used as a Roman Catholic church dedicated to "St. Mary and the Martyrs" but informally known as "Santa Maria Rotonda. [Text adapted from wikipedia]

But something tells me we'll never be together.

You came right into my life when it was falling apart and you put it back together, you've helped me through my problems and you've never ever failed to lend me a listening ear. Each and every time something fucks up, you're usually the one to make everything alright. I'm in debt to you but you don't expect anything in return. And I want more, but that just makes me greedy and selfish, I wish you could be mine, but I think I already lost my chance months ago because of my inability to tell you how I really felt, I just did not know what to say.

   

I'll never be able to tell you because that's just the way I am,

"What if he never speaks to me again? What if I screw this friendship up?"

And there are more reasons than just that.

Música: Decidete

 

Una decisión es la acción de elegir entre alternativas o formas para resolver diferentes situaciones de la vida, a nivel laboral, familiar, sentimental,etc., es decir, en todo momento se toman decisiones; decidir es algo que hacemos todas las personas de forma natural ante diversas situaciones, pareciera ser una acción de lo mas simple y sencillo por hacer; sin embargo, muchas personas se enfrentan a la incapacidad de tomar sus propias decisiones, la causa no es la falta de razón sino la falta de resolución y coraje para tener determinación y perder el miedo a enfrentarnos a dichas acciones que nos hacen elegir un camino, en determinado momento; esta acción se le denomina decidofobia, es decir el miedo a tomar decisiones equivocadas.

 

Es de vital importancia, creer en nosotros, en nuestros valores y principios, y sobre todo defenderlos, aprender a valorarnos y darle la importancia necesaria, a cada una de las decisiones que definan diversas situaciones a lo largo de nuestra vida.

Hay que vencer la decidofobia: el dejar que las cosas continúen como están: no se crece, no se progresa, no hay éxitos. Lánzate a la piscina.

 

Cuando uno va a tomar una decisión siempre hay temor a perder, por lo general se piensa que una pérdida nos hará estar muy mal; pero se ha observado que si una persona toma una decisión y por cualquier motivo le va mal, esa pérdida no lo hace estar tan mal como él lo suponía. Esto se debe a que las personas desconocen su resistencia psicológica y la habilidad para racionalizar casi cualquier situación.

 

Así que amig@s no dejéis que el miedo paralice vuestra vida.

Arriba: Espiando la futura estación Hospitales correspondiente al tramo A2 de la extensión Sur de la línea H de Subterráneos. La mencionada estación, está siendo emplazada bajo la Av. Almafuerte, en Parque Patricios y entre los hospitales Penna y Churruca.

 

El candidato a diputado por el kirchnerismo en la Capital, Carlos Heller, acusó al jefe de Gobierno por no realizar las obras en los subtes, ni las inversiones en educación y salud. Y de cara a los comicios legislativos de junio, apuntó que "no hay forma de avanzar en las reformas pendientes si no se cuenta con un Parlamento que acompañe".

El candidato a diputado nacional por el Encuentro Popular para la Victoria, Carlos Heller, afirmó que el jefe de gobierno porteño, Mauricio Macri, "no cumple con las promesas que realizó en la campaña", al realizar este mediodía una caminata con vecinos del barrio de Parque Patricios.

 

"Prometió 10 kilómetros de subte por año y ya lleva un año y medio y no ha hecho nada", se quejó Heller ante la consulta de la prensa desde un bar de la avenida Caseros al 3.000, al compartir un café con representantes de organizaciones vecinales y candidatos de la lista que encabeza.

 

Al mencionarse la extensión de la línea H de subterráneos, Heller puso énfasis en puntualizar que existen "algunas estaciones que están muy próximas a ser terminadas, que (Macri) recibió casi listas y no se concretan".

 

"Pasa lo mismo con la salud y la educación, cuyas partidas presupuestarias se subejecutan, y por otro lado se gasta más de lo presupuestado en embellecer ciertas calles y barrios, con soluciones cosméticas que no resuelven los problemas de fondo de los vecinos de Buenos Aires".

 

Heller caminó una cuadra bajo la lluvia acompañado del senador Daniel Filmus; los candidatos a diputados Julio Piumato y Gabriel Fucks; los postulantes a legisladores Francisco "Tito" Nenna y María José Lubertino, y el actual diputado Juan Carlos Dante Gullo.

 

El diálogo con los vecinos pudo extenderse algo más de lo previsto debido a que las condiciones climáticas impidieron realizar la actividad prevista para la tarde en Parque Lezama, donde Heller iba a participar del homenaje a Raúl Scalabrini Ortiz, en el 50 aniversario de su muerte.-

Fes or Fez (Arabic: فاس‎, Moroccan Arabic [fɛs], Berber: Fas, ⴼⴰⵙ) is the third largest city of Morocco, with a population of approximately 1 million (2010). It is the capital of the Fès-Boulemane region.

The city has two old medinas, the larger of which is Fes el Bali. It is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is believed to be one of the world's largest car-free urban areas.[3] Al-Qarawiyyin, founded in AD 859, is the oldest continuously functioning madrasa in the world. The city has been called the "Mecca of the West" and the "Athens of Africa".

On our daytrip to Globe, AZ, one of our favourite stops was to the Pickle Barrel Trading Post, the best antique emporium we've been to in awhile. We're still "thinking" about the $1,500 water fountain my wife eyed (i.e. I'm humouring her until she gets distracted by something else). Our big splurge was a July 1962 issue of "Arizona Highways" for $5 (cover price 40 cents). I make no claim to be smart with $$.

 

Anyway, just outside the front door and small parking lot of this fine establishment is a railway track that feels much too close for comfort. I managed to snap a couple shots of two different Arizona Eastern Railway (AZER) trains, each whizzing by in the span of a few minutes, blowing my ponytail into tangles. I share with you my artistic rendering of said experience.

In September 2008 I went to London for the first time. The first day I arrived I was exhausted so after resting until the late afternoon I decided to walk "downtown". I took the image of Buckingham Palace about half an hour before this. As I was walking through St James' Park on my way to Westminster a rain storm began. I, of course, didn't have an umbrella: who would expect rain in England? LOL - well in my defence the sky HAD looked clear when I left the hotel.

 

After the storm I continued walking towards Westminster and as I arrived at Parliament Square the clouds began to clear and the sunset's golden light came through.

 

I really like the people in this shot; the one woman shopping, the young couple talking behind the fence, they really added something to the shot which would have been a lot more boring without them.
