I really love this song.....and it can be interpretated many ways.

 

For myself, I find that I am my own worst enemy. I have a hard time forgiving myself of things in my past....or even though I may have forgiven somebody else for things done to me....there is a scar that remains. Sometimes I feel like the"old" me has a grip on the "present" me...and I just want her to LET GO, so that I don't lost myself.

   

"Let Go" - RED

 

Hey you, look what you do to me

You bend and you bruise me

Why you try to control me?

But you don't know me

How come you just want to hurt me?

How come you just want to push me?

I can't ignore you anymore

Cause everywhere I turn you

You burn me, you break me

You always want to take me down with you

What do you want from me?

 

I don't wanna be afraid, I don't wanna run away

I don't want to be here fading it's more that I can take

I'm never gonna be the same

I threw it all away

I don't want to be here fading

Just let go! (look what you do to me)

Let go! (look what you do to me)

 

Hey you, look what you do to me

You burnt and you scared me

With all that you tell me (but I don't listen!)

You love me, you hate me

You always want to take me down with you

What do you want from me?

 

I don't wanna be afraid I don't wanna run away

I don't want to be here fading it's more that I can take

I'm never gonna be the same

I threw it all away

I don't want to be here fading

Just let

 

You kept pushing me

You keep using me

You keep twisting me

You keep breaking me

You can't have me anymore [x3]

You can't have me, let go!

 

I don't wanna be afraid, I don't wanna run away

I don't want to be here fading it's more that I can take

 

I'm never gonna be the same

I threw it all away

I don't want to be here fading

Just let go! Let go! Just let go!

I don't wanna be afraid

Let go! (I don't wanna run away!)

Just let go! Let go! Let go!

 

**I used two textures, one each from

Haeretik and Ghostbones.

Thank you both for sharing these great textures!!!

The Magnificent and beautiful lady, the Statue of Liberty, Liberty Island, New York City. I was so moved by her stunning beauty and impressed by the absolute perfection of this marvelous representation of liberty. I took this photo of the magnificent Statue of Liberty on my first trip to Liberty Island and New York City in October 2004. She is of utmost beauty and I was totally blown away by her magnifigance.

 

THE STATUE OF LIBERTY

 

Liberty Enlightening the World (French: La liberté éclairant le monde), known more commonly as the Statue of Liberty (Statue de la Liberté), is a large statue that was presented to the United States by France in 1886. It stands at Liberty Island, New York in New York Harbor as a welcome to all visitors, immigrants, and returning Americans. The copper-clad statue, dedicated on October 28, 1886, commemorates the centennial of the United States and is a gesture of friendship from France to America. Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi sculpted the statue, and Alexandre Gustave Eiffel (designer of the Eiffel Tower) engineered the internal structure. Eugène Viollet-le-Duc was responsible for the choice of copper in the statue's construction and adoption of the repoussé technique.

 

The statue is of a female figure standing upright, dressed in a robe and a seven point spiked rays representing a nimbus (halo), holding a stone tablet close to her body in her left hand and a flaming torch high in her right hand. The tablet bears the words "JULY IV MDCCLXXVI" (July 4, 1776), commemorating the date of the United States Declaration of Independence.

 

The statue is made of a sheeting of pure copper, hung on a framework of steel (originally puddled iron) with the exception of the flame of the torch, which is coated in gold leaf. It stands atop a rectangular stonework pedestal with a foundation in the shape of an irregular eleven-pointed star. The statue is 151' 1" (46.5 m) tall, with the pedestal and foundation adding another 154 feet (46.9 m).

 

Worldwide, the Statue of Liberty is one of the most recognizable icons of the United States, and, more generally, represents liberty and escape from oppression. The Statue of Liberty was, from 1886 until the jet age, often one of the first glimpses of the United States for millions of immigrants after ocean voyages from Europe. The Statue of Liberty's obviously classical appearance (Roman stola, sandals, facial expression) derives from Libertas, ancient Rome's goddess of freedom from slavery, oppression, and tyranny. Broken shackles lie at her feet. The seven spikes in the crown represent the Seven Seas and seven continents. Her torch signifies enlightenment. The tablet in her hand shows the date of the nation's birth, July 4, 1776.

 

Since 1903, the statue, also known as "Lady Liberty," has been associated with Emma Lazarus's poem “The New Colossus” and has been a symbol of welcome to arriving immigrants. The interior of the pedestal contains a bronze plaque inscribed with the poem, which reads:

 

“Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,

With conquering limbs astride from land to land;

Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand

A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame

Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name

Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand

Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command

The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

"Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she

With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

  

There are 354 steps inside the statue and its pedestal. There are 25 windows in the crown which comprise the jewels beneath the seven rays of the diadem. The tablet which the Statue holds in her left hand reads, in Roman numerals, "July 4, 1776" the day of America's independence from Britain. The Statue of Liberty was engineered to withstand heavy winds. Winds of 50 miles per hour cause the Statue to sway 3 inches (7.62 cm) and the torch to sway 5 inches (12.7 cm). This allows the Statue to move rather than break in high [wind load] conditions.

Mentre Prometeo giaceva incatenato alla montagna e subiva il castigo dell'aquila, Zeus meditava una punizione anche per gli uomini che Prometeo così stoltamente aveva aiutato.

Chiese a suo figlio Efesto di costruire un essere ad immagine e somiglianza delle dee olimpiche, da regalare agli uomini.

Venne così creata la donna, che tutti gli dei coprirono di regali: Afrodite le donò la bellezza, Hermes la curiosità, Era la capacità di generare figli agli uomini e così via. Per questo Zeus la chiamò Pandora, ovvero "Tutti i doni" e le donò uno strano vaso chiuso, proibendole di aprirlo.

Pandora venne portata al cospetto di Epimeteo -titano fratello di Prometeo- da Hermes, che la presentò come un dono di Zeus Olimpo agli uomini. Epimeteo subito se ne innamorò e la prese in sposa.

Passarono gli anni e Pandora era sempre morsa dalla curiosità di sapere che cosa Zeus avesse riposto dentro quel vaso così ben chiuso. Spesso lo prendeva in mano ma poi lo posava, seppur a malincuore, ricordando i consigli del Re degli Dei.

Un giorno Pandora prese il vaso, corrosa da una curiosità isterica, e forzò il coperchio con forza. Di colpo si staccò e il vaso si illuminò: venne percorso da un tremolìo e con un grido, Pandora lo allontanò dal suo viso. Cominciò ad uscire un fumo acre e denso, accompagnato da un terrificante rombo di tuono. Tra le volute nere come l'abisso si intravedevano facce sfigurate e urlanti: erano tutti i mali del mondo che Zeus aveva rinchiuso nel vaso affinchè non colpissero gli uomini. Un castigo terribile ma Zeus, nella sua lungimiranza, aveva chiuso nel vaso anche la Speranza, che da quel momento dà coraggio e forza all'uomo e gli permette di affrontare i mali della vita.

ENGLISH

Prayer flags are colorful panels or rectangular cloths often found strung along mountain ridges and peaks high in the Himalayas to bless the surrounding countryside or for other purposes. Unknown in other branches of Buddhism, prayer flags are believed to have originated with Bön, which predated Buddhism in Tibet. Traditionally they are woodblock-printed with texts and images.

 

The Indian Buddhist Sutras, written on cloth in India, were transmitted to other regions of the world. These sutras, written on banners, were the origin of prayer flags. Legend ascribes the origin of the prayer flag to the Shakyamuni Buddha, whose prayers were written on battle flags used by the devas against their adversaries, the asuras. The legend may have given the Indian bhikku a reason for carrying the 'heavenly' banner as a way of signifying his commitment to ahimsa. This knowledge was carried into Tibet by 800 CE, and the actual flags were introduced no later than 1040 CE, where they were further modified. The Indian monk Atisha (980-1054 CE) introduced the Indian practice of printing on cloth prayer flags to Tibet.

 

Lung Ta (meaning "Wind Horse") horizontal prayer flags are of square or rectangular shape and are connected along their top edges to a long string or thread. They are commonly hung on a diagonal line from high to low between two objects (e.g., a rock and the top of a pole) in high places such as the tops of temples, monasteries, stupas or mountain passes.

 

Traditionally, prayer flags come in sets of five, one in each of five colors. The five colors represent the elements, and the Five Pure Lights and are arranged from left to right in a specific order. Different elements are associated with different colors for specific traditions, purposes and sadhana:

 

- Blue (symbolizing sky/space)

- White (symbolizing air/wind)

- Red (symbolizing fire)

- Green (symbolizing water)

- Yellow (symbolizing earth)

CASTELLANO

Las banderas de oración son coloridos paneles o paños rectangulares a menudo encadenados a lo largo de las crestas y de los picos de las montañas en el Himalaya para bendecir el terreno circundante o para otros propósitos. Desconocido en otras ramas del Budismo, se cree que las banderas de oración se originaron con Bön, que precedió el Budismo en el Tíbet. Tradicionalmente los textos y las imágenes son impresiones con plancha.

 

El Sutras budista indio, escrito en el paño en la India, fue transmitido a otras regiones del mundo. Estos sutras, escritos en banderas, eran el origen de las banderas de oración. La leyenda atribuye el origen de la bandera del rezo al Buda Shakyamuni, cuyos rezos fueron escritos en las banderas de batalla usadas por los devas contra sus adversarios, los asuras. La leyenda pudo haber dado al bhikku indio una razón para llevar la bandera “divina” como manera de significar su compromiso al ahimsa. Este conocimiento fue llevado en Tíbet por el año 800 DC, y las banderas reales fueron introducidas antes del 1040 DC, donde fueron modificadas más a fondo. El monje indio Atisha (980-1054) introdujo en el Tíbet la práctica india de la impresión en banderas de oración.

 

Las banderas horizontales de oración Lung Ta (significa “caballo del viento”) son de forma cuadrada o rectangular y están conectadas a lo largo de sus bordes superiores con una larga cuerda o hilo. Normalmente se cuelgan en una línea diagonal de arriba a abajo entre dos objetos (por ejemplo, de una roca a la punta de un poste) en lugares altos tales como las puntas de templos, de monasterios, de estupas o de pasos de montaña.

 

Tradicionalmente, las banderas de oración van en grupos de cinco, cada una de uno de cinco colores. Los cinco colores representan los elementos, y las cinco Luces Puras se disponen de izquierda a derecha en un orden específico. Los diversos elementos se asocian a diversos colores para tradiciones, los propósitos y el sadhana específicos:

 

- Azul (simbolizando cielo/espacio)

- Blanco (simbolizando aire/viento)

- Rojo (simbolizando fuego)

- Verde (simbolizando agua)

- Amarillo (simbolizando tierra)

Temple of Heaven is one of the real highlights of Beijing. It is situated in the southern Beijing City. It has been one of the most sacred sites for the whole country for the past five centuries. It worked as sacrificial compound buildings for the Ming and Qing emperors. It boasts of the largest sacrificial place in Beijing among a few imperial altars to Heaven, Earth, the Sun, the Moon super natures. What's the intriguing by-production of the temple is that if you enter the Temple of Heaven in the early morning, you can find many people doing all types of kung fu and taiji and other morning exercises. Furthermore, many people happily play each other with music, songs or cards. You can also join them if you want. The most highlight part of the temple is the unique century-old trees - row upon row of Chinese cypress, Chinese juniper and scholar trees etc. Some of the cypresses are over 600 years old! When once visiting the temple, Dr Henry Kissinger, said that the USA could rebuild the Temple of Heaven if it wanted, but it could not produce the trees!

This is the Bagdad Cafe on Route 66 in Newberry Springs, California. The car out front belongs to my friends Hans and Jonas Hannsson of Malmo, Sweden, and is a Volvo PV they customized themselves into the hot rod convertible you see here. They temporarily imported this car for a long wished for trip across the U.S. on Route 66. They had a wonderful time!

 

The original photo was taken by Jonas Hansson, and with Jonas' permission, I've been selecting some of my favorite photos of their road trip along the "Mother Road" and doing some post processing... enhancing, cropping, tone mapping, special effects, etc. The original photo was not so great. I used Photoshop to crop and enhance the photo, then my Photoshop filter "Fractalius" to turn it into a digital painting/drawing.

 

Below is a link to Hans and Jonas' blog about their historic trip:

INFORMATION ON THE BAGDAD CAFE:

 

Bagdad Cafe, a movie centering on old Route 66, was filmed in the Newberry Springs area. The Bagdad Cafe located in Newberry Springs is not the original Bagdad Cafe, the original cafe was located in the town of Bagdad between Amboy and Ludlow on old Route 66. Nothing remains of the old cafe in Bagdad. The Newberry Springs cafe is a Route 66 survivor though and was once known as the Sidewinder Cafe. After the movie was filmed here the name Bagdad Cafe just seemed to stick. It is open for business today serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you are coming through the area I would recommend stopping here. Say hi to Andrea Pruett, the proprietor, while you're at it. She has done a great job of keeping the Bagdad Cafe alive for all us Mother Road fans. If you're lucky, maybe General Bob will show up and entertain you with his colorful stories from the past! The nearest large town to the Cafe is Barstow. You'll find the Bagdad Cafe between the east and west off-ramps of I-40, at Newberry Springs, east of Barstow

 

INFORMATION ON NEWBERRY SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA:

 

The area around Newberry Springs has been a source of water in the arid Mojave Desert since the earliest days. The site of Camp Cady is located a few miles from present day Newberry Springs, and was a resting place and watering hole along the Mojave River for wagon trains coming to California in the 1850's on the old Mormon Trail. In the 1880's the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad hauled tank cars of water from Newberry Springs to the stations and towns in the area making life in this arid land possible.

Con sus dos largos brazos de hilo la verde Eutreptia se abre paso en los caminos del agua, a veces despejados como un cielo limpio y en otras ocasiones salpìcados de diminutos viajeros como ella que buscan para vivir una pequeña ventana a la luz del sol.

  

Eutreptia es un flagelado primo hermano de Euglena, que adopta forma de cometa cuando puede nadar libre en la inmensidad de cualquier gota de agua, su prolongada cola estabiliza la tortuosa navegación que le imponen sus dos largos flagelos y de este modo, avanza sin contratiempos enhebrando su silueta de pez entre las corrientes de agua.

 

El interior de Eutreptia está cargado de pequeños cloroplastos discoidales que apenas tienen espacio para moverse dentro de su cuerpo y que no caben en la estrecha cola-timón de este flagelado viajero. Eutreptia está vestida con una fina y plástica membrana transparente elegantemente adornada por unas delicadísimas estrías paralelas casi invisibles. Esta película que recubre su cuerpo como una ajustada camisa, igual que la de algunas especies de Euglena, Distigma o Astasia permite el cambio de forma y la completa transformación de sus aspecto.

 

Los dos largos flagelos de Eutreptia ondulan y parecen trenzarse para deshacerse después en sus movimientos rizados, pero cuando tropiezan con algún obstáculo como marañas de algas o redes de diatomeas, se desacompasan al mismo tiempo que Eutreptia se altera y sus contornos de comenta se revuelven hasta transformarse mágicamente en los de un globo.

 

Eutreptia, como Euglena, es ser misterioso de vida animal y vegetal al mismo tiempo, una pequeña mancha ocular de color rojizo constituye su ojo de cíclope que sólo ve la luz

 

La especie que mostramos hoy, probablemente Eutreptia viridis puede vivir en aguas dulces, como éstas de las que procede y es capaz de soportar una notable carga de materia orgánica. Se trata de un hallazgo singular, del que no tenemos constancia de citas precedentes en la Península Ibérica - las únicas conocidas del continente europeo proceden de Gran Bretaña y Rumanía - y tan solo se ha constatado su presencia en otros continentes a partir de tres citas, una en Brasil, otra en China y la tercera de Australia.

 

Eutreptia ha sido fotografiada a 400 aumentos con la técncia de contraste de interferencia a partir de una muestra recogida a 3 metros de profundidad en el Lago de Sanabria (Zamora), desde el catamarán Helios Sanabria el primer catamarán construido en el Planeta propulsado por energía eólica y solar.

Its incredible how FAST the butterflies are.. Shot at 1/750s and still the motion blur...this is not camera shake (evident with the bottom left flower sharpness!)

 

WOW.. getting motion blur at such speed just shows how the butterflies take off and why its so hard to photograph them IN-FLIGHT!

 

I tried to catch the butterflies in flight literally dozens of times during this vacation... but this is the only one i have with me to showcase!

A more succinct version ran on Seattlest.

 

This building has housed many sad stories, but has a sign of hope.

 

It's at the corner of McClellan and Martin Luther King Way Jr. South in Seattle.

 

Here was my methodology: I went to King County Parcel Viewer to get the address for the building, and then searched the web and Seattle Times archives for that address and next door. I took names that came out and searched in the Washington State Digital Archives for dates of birth, marriage, and death; as well as spouses, parents and children. Then I took those dates and names and went back to Seattle Times to see if I could find more.

 

In 1905 Oheda Kulnujia came to America with her family from Turkey, joining an uncle who had been in Seattle since before the Yukon gold rush. In 1922 she married John Arten, who himself had arrived in the US in 1909 from Turkey or Armenia.

 

in 1927 John paid to have this building constructed at the corner of McClellan and then-Empire Way. It had easy access to streetcars and the Renton interurban just a block away on Rainier. And, it was located on a new road which was carrying more auto traffic every year. It was the boom time of the 1920s. Oheda gave birth to a daughter, Mary, in 1925. John paid $2200 for the building, and it had space for his shoe repair business in front and for his family to live in the back. (9/29/1927 ST p29)

 

In 1941 Mary was almost done in by all that auto traffic. The car she was in was struck by another car in a bad accident. But she made it through. In 1950 she was wed for a brief year, long enough to give birth to a daughter, also named Mary. Both kept the name Medzegian.

 

At the time of our old photograph, 1957, Mary was running a "snack bar" restaurant in half of the retail space. The boisterousness of the signs shows how well the family was doing.

 

Oheda passed away in 1964 (5/18/1964 ST p39). It's unclear of the exact cause, but both businesses were closed in 1967 and the equipment sold off. Perhaps as the younger Mary graduated high school her mother moved on? (ST classifieds February and March 1967)

 

And maybe John was no longer able to run his business. He died at the end of 1969. (12/15/1969 ST p45).

 

Mary -- or perhaps renters? -- lost her poodle "Taffy" in 1970 (2/18/1970 ST classfied)

 

The elder Mary owned the building until 2002, and passed away in 2004

 

The building was gutted by fire in 2007.

 

But just as it seems the story is petering out in sadness, two bright spots.

 

Good samaratins saved two people from the fire.

 

And now, a sign of hope in the fight against cancer graces the building.

 

www.cornwallinfocus.co.uk/mining/levant.php

 

Levant Mine is located 2 miles north of St.Just and is bounded to the east by Geevor Mine, to the west by Wheal Unity and to the south by Spearn Moor and Spearn Consols mines. Levant appears as a mine in its own right on maps dating from 1748 on and consists of an amalgamation of several smaller and more ancient concerns. Their names such as Boscregan and Unity live on as shaft names. What we would consider today as modern Levant was formed in about 1820 by a group of investors - known in the trade as 'mining adventurers', who agreed to raise the sum of £400 by purchasing 80 shares at £5 each.

 

Two of the main investors in the company were Lewis Charles Daubuz and Mr John Batten. Their leadership along with some excellent prospecting helped the company to locate a large copper deposit at a depth of 20 fathoms (120 feet) below the surface. The adventurers rapidly got a handsome return on their investment and further exploratory work was carried out. From 1835 Levant began raising tin and was soon to become an important tin producer too. In the period 1820 to 1930 Levant produced over 130,000 tons of copper ore of high (10%) grade and 24,000 tons of black tin. In 1912 5,278 ounces of silver and 4 ounces of gold were also sold.

 

Levant swallowed up the nearby mine of Spearne Consols - now known as Higher Bal. Shafts were opened up at Angwin's shaft, Tresize's shaft, Goldsworthy's shaft and Batten's shaft. The underground workings of Levant extended out under the sea but in general due to the bedrock being the impervious greenstone there were very few problems with flooding.

 

A 'man engine' was installed on Daubuz's shaft in 1856 reached by a tunnel from the Miner's Dry. The shaft subsequently became known as engine Shaft one of only a dozen or so installed in Cornish mines. The journey time from surface to work place was radically reduced from over an hour to less than half an hour in most cases. The workers arriving fresher and more ready for work into the bargain. Along with all the new shafts and the installation of the man engine all the usual associated surface buildings sprang up around the site - stamps, both Cornish stamps and Californian stamps types; a calciner for roasting the ore and a mill area containing rag frames and buddles.

 

Levant is quite unusual amongst Cornish mines in one respect as it did use pit ponies for a short time from 1893 to tram the ore on the main 278 fathom (below adit) tramming level some 1600 feet underground. Levant is also remembered for the Levant Mine Disaster in October 1919. The second worst loss of life underground in a Cornish mine. 31 men were lost when the man engine snapped and fell down through the shaft.

Yes, I know I was in Marrakech and not in Casablanca, but how many people are there who don't think of Casablanca when they think of Morocco?

 

One of the things that I simply did not expect in Morocco was just how people react to having their photos taken. As I've learned since returning to the States, its a common occurrence in Africa for a photographer to have to pay to take a photo. Some sources claim this is because people there are under the impression that we photographers will just try to commercialize their face while other sources say it's a more spiritual thing and has something to do with their souls.

 

Regardless of the reason, I wasn't really up for paying for photos and I didn't want to play the classic Douchebag With a Camera game, so I decided it'd be a good opportunity to practice shooting from the hip. It wasn't easy, but it was certainly a lot of fun trying, especially since I was using a zoom lens and tried my hand at choosing focal length blind as well. Admittedly, I spent most of the time around 35mm since I know exactly what to expect there.

 

As with the last photograph from Morocco that I posted, this one was taken in the Djemaa el Fna medina of Marrakech.

Been here a few times never happy due to the light and sky until today worth the £6 entrance fee as the gardens and flowers looked amazing.Think my job is done at this amazing location ;-)

    

An ancient site dating back to the 7th century was originally owned by the church but later acquired by the Button family in the 16th century. The name was changed to Dyffryn St. Thomas when the estate was sold to Thomas Pryce, who built the first building to be known as Dyffryn House. John Cory bought the estate in 1891 and built the present house two years later. He later commissioned Thomas Mawson to landscape the gardens to complement his magnificent house. After John Cory's death in 1910, his third son, Reginald, a keen horticulturalist and leading figure in the RHS, developed the gardens and arboretum notably through his joint sponsorship of several plant hunting expeditions. The most remarkable of the results of this is the Paper Bark Maple, Acer griseum, which was grown from seed brought back from China by Ernest Wilson.

 

After Reginald Cory's death in 1934, the estate went to his daughter Florence who died just two years later. It was then bought by Sir Cennydd Traherne who leased it in 1939 to Glamorgan County Council on a 999 year lease. The Grade I listed gardens are being restored in two phases with grants from the Heritage Lottery Fund. The first phase is for £3.25 million and the second for £2.9 million.

After visiting the Grand Canyon, we spent an afternoon visiting Williams, Arizona and walking down the old town Route 66 admiring the vintage buildings, cafes and shops. We still didn't see it all and want to return for another visit soon. In this shot of the cafe I used Photoshop filter "Fractalius" to enhance the original photo.

 

INFORMATION ON CRUISER'S CAFE 66:

 

Cruisers Cafe 66

233 W. Route 66

Williams, AZ

 

Enjoy a nostalgic experience at the Cruisers Cafe 66! Just imagine your favorite 1950s-style favorite high school hangout, add in cocktail service, and you have this charming Cafe. Here you will find classic American favorites, such as good burgers, steaks, ribs, seafood, salads, and malts. Special decor touches, such as the large mural, stuffed buffalo, and historic cars out front make this a Route 66 favorite. Adults and kids alike enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and the jukebox tunes.

 

INFORMATION ON WILLIAMS, ARIZONA & ROUTE 66:

 

Relive the glory of Old Route 66 on the Route 66 Loop Through Williams, Arizona, the only stretch of Route 66 on the National Historic Register. At the turn of the century a muddy pathway developed along the railroad tracks. Within 20 years private booster clubs linked together sections of road to form a ribbon from Chicago to the West and it was called the Old Trails National Highway.

 

John Steinbeck, in 1939, proclaimed Route 66 as the “Mother Road” in his classic novel The Grapes of Wrath. When the movie was made just a year later, it immortalized Route 66 in the American consciousness.

 

In 1926 U.S. Highway 66 was established to serve the ever increasing highway traffic. "Route 66", the Main Street of America, came right through Williams, and a great deal of tourist-related business grew up along the famous route.

 

The highway's heyday saw a succession of Dust Bowl migrants, World War II troops, families on vacation, and others making their way across "the mother road". But the increased traffic overwhelmed the highway and it was gradually replaced by the interstate system. In 1984, Williams became the last Route 66 town to be bypassed by the Interstate-40.

 

Much of Route 66 still remains as a reminder of the past, including the "loop" through Williams. Celebrating its heritage, the town of Williams recently returned Bill Williams Avenue to its original name of Route 66. This stretch of American history was awarded National Historic Register status in 1989. Williams' share of Route 66 is also home to The Route 66 Place, featuring Twister's Soda Fountain and the largest collection of Route 66 memorabilia in town.

 

Today you can cruise the loop on historic Route 66 in Williams, or take a leisurely stroll along the many shops and restaurants that line this legendary roadway.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

October 13, 1984 (I wonder if it was a Friday) the last remaining stretch of Route 66 was bypassed by the opening of a six mile segment of nearby Interstate 40. But Williams lives on. It is another true Route 66 town. Williams not only survived but is at the heart of a Route 66 revival. The downtown area has been cleaned up; new streetlights, fresh paint, and sidewalks have brought the town back to life. The community takes pride in its special relationship to the Mother Road and it shows.

 

Williams was named for one of the most colorful of all Mountain Men, Old Bill Williams. Though it is debated whether he ever was in the area of the town and mountain that bears his name, it is a well known fact that he was "acquainted with every inch of the Far West" as he would have put it. Williams was founded in 1876 and nothing much happened here until the railroad arrived in 1882. In 1901 the Santa Fe Railroad laid tracks from Williams to the Grand Canyon and insured Williams' claim as Gateway to the Grand Canyon.

 

The Grand Canyon Railroad reopened in the late 1980's and started running train tours to the Grand Canyon from the beautiful Frey Marcos Harvey House and Depot which has been restored to its former grandeur. The Grand Canyon has always been a Route 66 destination though it is located 50 miles from the Mother Road. Route 66 was always the primary highway vacationers used to get there.

 

Route 66 souvenir shops offer every imaginable piece of memorabilia of the old road. There are plenty of fine motels and cafes that bring back the flavor of Route 66 in its hey day. Williams is a great place to stop and explore and maybe even stay a day or two if you have the time.

Amigos/as:

 

La campaña contra el ingreso en prisión y la criminalización de los manteros atraviesa un momento crítico. Por eso, de forma urgente hemos elaborado este manifiesto en el que se os informa de la situación y se os invita a suscribirlo en concepto de asociación/colectivo social. Os quedaríamos muy agradecidos si le pudierais dar la máxima difusión. La urgencia es máxima, pues el próximo lunes entregaremos el manifiesto con las firmas que hasta entonces hayamos recogido.

 

Si deseáis adheriros podéis mandad un correo a manteros@inmigrapenal.com indicando el nombre del colectivo y los datos de quien realiza la adhesión.

 

Muchísimas gracias por vuestra ayuda.

  

Las asociaciones y colectivos del tejido social abajo firmantes queremos poner de manifiesto a la opinión pública:

 

I.- Hace unos meses constatábamos con perplejidad que más de medio millar de personas han sido encarceladas en el Estado por la mera circunstancia de exhibir y vender CD pirata. Detectamos entonces penas sorprendentes de prisión de hasta dos años y más: había “manteros” que veían prolongada su permanencia en prisión por no poder hacer frente a las magras responsabilidades civiles a las que se les condenaba y a las multas que se les imponían.

 

II.- De la mano de artistas, profesionales del Derecho, movimientos sociales y de los propios afectados iniciamos una Campaña con el objeto de eliminar del Código Penal la prisión para un tipo de comportamiento concreto movido por la necesidad de supervivencia que tiene mejor acomodo en el derecho administrativo sancionador. No se trata de legalizar el top-manta sino de perseguirlo por otros medios que no sean el encarcelamiento.

 

III.- Al mismo tiempo que apoyábamos indultos para las personas presas por esta causa y abonábamos multas y responsabilidades civiles para lograr la pronta excarcelación de los que peor lo pasaban, conectamos con los diferentes grupos parlamentarios y les hicimos partícipes de nuestro intento de proponer la modificación del Código Penal que avalamos con dictámenes jurídicos que fueron respaldados por numerosos profesores universitarios, juristas y ciudadanos en general.

 

IV.- El top manta no es la infracción que más gravemente perjudica al derecho de propiedad intelectual de los artistas; las mayores agresiones vienen de otros campos. Por otro lado, el propio legislador reconoce en el Preámbulo de la Ley que la reforma del año 2003 supuso una quiebra de la proporcionalidad respecto a la venta a pequeña escala y que los autores son personas en situación de necesidad y de pobreza, que sólo aspiran a alcanzar mínimos ingresos de subsistencia; se trata de personas que tienen prohibido legalmente ganarse la vida con un contrato legal que tratan de sobrevivir con los escasos ingresos de una actividad, ilegal, sí, pero de escaso daño social.

 

V.- Reconocemos que la mayoría de los grupos parlamentarios del Congreso han escuchado nuestras razones y que, aunque el texto aprobado por el Congreso no garantiza que por conductas tan nimias como la del “mantero” se meta en prisión a un ciudadano, dicha redacción supone una mejora respecto a la situación actual. Sin embargo, existe el peligro cierto de que estos avances se pierdan en el Senado. A consecuencia de la presión de las Sociedades Gestoras de los Derechos de Autor, Convergencia i Unio y el Grupo Parlamentario Popular han introducido una enmienda en el Senado de características represivas que supondría un gran retroceso. Se argumenta que tratar como falta los supuestos más nimios (cuando el beneficio no excede de 400 euros) constituye “un absoluto desarme procesal y policial”. Esta afirmación, inspirada sin duda por los intereses de las empresas de gestión de derechos de autor y de la propiedad industrial, además de mostrar una cruel insensibilidad acerca de la situación de extremada precariedad de las personas que practican el top-manta, es rotundamente falsa. En efecto, en la redacción emanada del Congreso sigue existiendo protección penal plena para la propiedad intelectual e industrial; la consideración de falta de algunos supuestos (por debajo de 400 euros) no constituye un desarme penal ni procesal, ni mucho menos policial, pues hay todo un Libro del Código Penal dedicado a las faltas que está siendo aplicado. Incluso en el supuesto que seguimos defendiendo, de que no se considerasen ilícito penal los supuestos con beneficio por debajo de los 400 euros, la diligencia persecutoria policial se seguiría desplegando en el ámbito administrativo sancionador, como podemos comprobar los ciudadanos en otros ámbitos (por ejemplo, las infracciones a las normas de circulación). Por eso, nos parece un despropósito derrochar recursos del sistema penal y policial en perseguir estas conductas para sobreproteger intereses de poderosos grupos de presión.

 

VI.- Por consiguiente, urgimos a los Sres. y Sras. Senadores/as para que no se dejen presionar por los intereses de empresas de gestión que perfectamente pueden hacer valer sus derechos de un modo más justo, proporcionado y, desde luego, generando menos sufrimiento estéril, asumiendo la reforma aprobada por el Congreso de los Diputados o, mejor aún, aprobando la efectiva desincriminación de las conductas más irrelevantes pues su despenalización no significa su legalización, ni que dichas conductas se vayan a incrementar, pues el simple comiso de sus pobres mercancías supone una gravísima consecuencia para estas personas, además de la posibilidad de ser detenido y expulsado por carecer de residencia legal. No es tanto lo que les pedimos: el Derecho penal de un Estado social no debería utilizarse para criminalizar la pobreza de una forma tan injusta como evidente.

Phacus acuminatus tiene el corazón verde y el alma de mariposa inquieta que revolotea en el agua como si lo hiciese en el aire. A pesar de ser alga Phacus es un diminuto y hermoso animalito que busca la luz del sol con su ojo de rubí y, elegante, siempre, muestra su cuerpo de hoja enfundado en una camisa fina y tiesa de rayas perfectas, lisas y transparentes como el agua, mientras se deja llevar por un corcel invisible del que solo ha quedado el látigo que serpentea como culebrilla inovensiva, llevando su cuerpo al vuelo de aquí para allá.

 

Phacus acuminatus es un hermano pequeño de Phacus pleuronectes , vive en lagunas de aguas limpias, en zonas de poca profundidad y además de su característico pequeño tamaño, la cola que remata su cuerpo apenas se prolonga, es muy corta, casi siempre recta y excepcionalmente, como en este caso, ligeramente curvada hacia un lateral.

 

El género Phacus está representado por cerca de 550 taxones diferentes y se incluye en la familia de las euglenas de la que se supone existen tantas especies conocidas como no descubiertas todavía. Casi todas ellas son formas móviles, sorprendentes por sus hábitos de vida, muchas de ellas presentan una mancha ocular de intenso color rojo que hace las funciones de un ojo, uno o dos flagelos para navegar, almacenan una sustancia especial de reserva parecida al almidón, el paramilo, que no existe ni en los animales ni en los vegetales y poseen una cubierta como una camisa ajustada y transparente, la película, que les da protección. Esta película está formada por proteínas y se dispone formando tiras longitudinales o helicoidales debajo de la membrana plasmática. En Phacus es rígida y más o menos elástica en Euglena, por eso, el movimiento en unos y otros seres es muy distinto, vuelo de mariposa en Phacus y exhibición de contorsionista en Euglena.

  

Hemos encontrado a Phacus en el Lago de Sanabria, a poca profundidad, junto a una surgencia de aguas sulfurosas. La imagen, tomada en vivo, a 400 aumentos con la técnica de contraste de interferencia, procede de una muestra recogida por Ruth Centeno desde el catamarán Helios Sanabria el primer catamarán del mundo propulsado por energía eólica y solar.

I can't believe I just became someone who uses a selfie stick. (Stephanie's friend Mayte had one.)

Tess, Gabriel's transgender daughter, is the biggest reason we were all there on Friday evening, and somehow we all managed to squish her almost out of sight in this picture! The girl on the left is one of her best friends, and I don't remember her name. That's Uber-Go-Team-Dad Gabriel in the background; his current wife Kornelija on the right and his ex-wife Stephanie to my right. To Stephanie's right is her friend Mayte, who whipped the selfie stick out of her purse when I said I wanted to get a shot of us all. She offered to take the photo but knowing she was part of the group I told her I wanted her in it. (Turns out Tess's friend's parents were also there so I guess there was a bigger group than I thought, and maybe that means I excluded some people here?) P.S. Mayte was also the name of the woman Prince was married to between 1996 and 2000. She was a belly dancer. I'm pretty sure this Mayte was none of those things.

Young girls in Al-Arroub refugee camp (north Hebron) August 2010.

 

The camp has 2 entrees each one controled by a 15 meters high concrete mirador (or military tower); one is closed to any vehicule and the other subject to be blocked any time. Heavily armed Israeli soldiers enter the camp night and day to patrol, scare the children, shooting sound, gas or shooting dum-dum at what they call was a danger (last June they blew up a 15 year old teenager, one week after this pic they scared to death a 7 year old boy in night, last year they blew up a 2 years old baby...)

 

Le camp est entoure de 2 miradors haut d'une quinzaine de metres en béton, de checkpoints (de gros blocs de pierre bloquant tout véhicule a 4 roues). Les lycéen-e-s allant a l'ecole dans le bourg voisin sont regulirement interdits de passer. Les habitants sont soumis à des tirs de gaz ou de balles (y-compris "dum-dum": explosives). Adolescents et pères sont arrêtés et mis en détention ADMINISTRATIVE (càd sans aucune charge contre eux) pendant N mois, ou N années laissant leurs familles dans le désespoir. Ca dure depuis 1967. 43 ans que nous laissons des salopards en uniforme humilier, blesser et tuer ces réfugiés :-(

Pourtant, les enfants et les jeunes ici sont merveilleux de politesse, de sourires, d'accueil et de vie quand les soldats regagnent leurs tours...

Brücke über den Stausee bei Fall.

Der Sylvensteinspeicher, auch Sylvensteinstausee oder schlicht Sylvensteinsee genannt, ist ein fjordartiger Stausee im Isarwinkel südlich von Lenggries an der Straße von Bad Tölz zum Achensee, der 1954 bis 1959 für den Hochwasserschutz im Isartal gebaut wurde.

Der Stausee wurde nach einer natürlichen Engstelle im oberen Isartal, dem Sylvenstein, benannt und ist mit seiner imposanten Brücke ein häufig abgebildetes Motiv vor der alpinen Bergkulisse des Karwendelgebirges. Im See versunken liegt das ehemalige Dorf Fall, welches vor der Flutung abgerissen und einige Dutzend Meter höher an der Straße nach Vorderriß neu erbaut wurde. Aufgrund der landschaftlichen Attraktivität ist der Sylvensteinsee heute ein gefragtes Ausflugsziel und Erholungsgebiet.

The last week end was very busy. I've made a lot a photo with my new lens (canon 50 f1.8 II) to test its (and mine) skills. One of the best picture taken was this Golia's portrait.

Lo scorso week end è stato piuttosto impegnativo. Ho scattato un sacco di foto con il nuovo obiettivo per saggiare le sue e li mie capacità. Uno degli scatti migliori e questo di Golia.

Animals lucky enough to be rescued will need months of care and rehabilitation. There are still 31 fires burning...

2/12/09, Animals fall victim to Australian fire

 

FULL STORY: newsok.com/animals-fall-victim-to-australian-fire/article...

 

SYDNEY -- Wildlife rescue officials worked frantically to help the animals that made it through Australia’s worst-ever wildfires, but they said millions of animals likely perished in the inferno. Hundreds of burned, stressed and dehydrated animals -- including kangaroos, koalas, lizards and birds -- already have arrived at shelters across the scorched region. Rescuers have doled out antibiotics, pain relievers and fluids to the critters in a bid to keep them comfortable, but some of the severely injured were euthanized to spare any more suffering.

IFAW (International Fund for Animal Welfare) has sent an emergency relief team to help wild and domestic animals affected by the devastating fires in Victoria. Tania Duratovic is leading the IFAW team in Whittlesea. We arrived in Whittlesea (2/9/09) and set up in the staging area...

 

Today we traveled to Kinglake West and Kinglake Central - two of the worst hit areas. Remnants of trees and piles of rubble are all that is left of what used to people’s homes and indeed whole towns. People are happy...to see something emerge alive from the devastation. As one person recounted as they handed over a slightly burned ring-tailed possum, “We have lost our house, our neighbours and our pets but we found this little guy alive -- please help him, I just want him to live.”

 

IFAW vet Dr. Howard Ralph administered first aid and the possum is now under the care of Help for Wildlife volunteers. Dr. Ralph, is a renowned vet, burns specialist and human doctor. He is helping local vets treat pets at the survivors’ shelter in Whittlesea. Photo © IFAW / M. Fillinger

 

So far we have been able to provide immediate aid to many animals suffering from the effects of the fire including dogs, cats, horses, ducks, chickens, wallabies, possums, kangaroos, joeys, koalas, a peacock, a lyrebird, a goat, a dingo and an orphaned baby deer...

A koala nicknamed Bob puts his paw around fellow fire survivor Sam at the Southern Ash Wildlife Shelter in Rawson, Australia. Colleen Wood / Southern Ash Wildlife Shelter via Reuters. www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29123220/

 

SYDNEY -- A bond between two burned koalas rescued from Australia's deadliest wildfires has provided some heart-warming relief after days of devastation and the loss of more than 180 lives and possibly millions of animals. The story of the koalas emerged after volunteer firefighter David Tree used a mobile phone to photograph and film the rescue of the bewildered female, since nicknamed Sam, that was found cowering in a burned-out forest at Mirboo North, 90 miles southeast of Melbourne.

 

Photos and video of Tree, 44, approaching Sam while talking gently to her, and feeding her water from a plastic bottle as she put her burned claw in his cold, wet hand quickly hit YouTube, making her an Internet sensation.

 

But it was after reaching a wildlife shelter that Sam met and befriended another koala, nicknamed Bob, who was saved by wildlife workers two days before Sam, in Boolarra, about 110 miles from Melbourne...

This is adapted from two of Elise's recipes, Curry Rice Salad and Ginger Pineapple Fried Rice. I like the curry infused oil idea from the Curry Rice Salad and combined it with the minced ginger and the scallions. Next I added shrimp to the fried rice. I marinated the shrimps with ground coriander, curry powder and paprika. So here is my adapted version of Curry Ginger Pineapple Fried Rice with Shrimps....

 

Peanut Oil

Curry powder

Finely minced fresh peeled ginger

Scallions (white and pale green parts separated from greens)

Pineapple, diced or cubed

Cooked rice, white or brown (your choice or preference)

Shrimp, peeled and deveined

Shrimp marinade: Ground coriander, curry powder and paprika

Cashews

 

In a large skillet over medium high heat add about 2-3 tablespoons of peanut oil and a couple heaping tablespoons curry powder. Let the curry simmer for a minute then add the minced ginger and white parts of the scallions and fry for another minute or so. Next add the marinated shrimps and cook until shrimp becomes opaque. Add the cooked rice, about 1 1/2 to 2 cups, left over white rice would be great for this. Mix well and make sure the rice is coated well with the curry mixture. Then add in the cubed pineapples, about 1 cup. Remove from heat, stir in cashews, green parts of the scallion and chopped cilantro.

 

Enjoy!

'Writing Spider (Argiope aurantia)' On Black

 

From: home.att.net/~larvalbugrex/argiope.html

 

Argiope

by Valerie (October 25, 2001)

revised September 23, 2004

 

The largest orb weaver in our gardens is the black and yellow argiope (Argiope aurantia). Actually, only the female is large, the males being much smaller by comparison. Although big enough to deliver a bite, these spiders are not poisonous or aggressive. The black and yellow argiope is also called banana spider, yellow garden spider, zipper spider, golden orb weaver and writing spider. There are a number of other species in the genus Argiope, but most that occur in the U.S. are restricted to tropical climates. A related species inhabits gardens in Europe. Because they make such big webs and are brightly colored, it is impossible for a resident argiope to remain unnoticed in the garden or, as they sometimes look for sheltered areas, on the side of a house. We had one spider who thought the ideal location for her web was right by our front door over the doorbell. She stayed there all summer, enjoying frequent feedings of any large insects we could find to throw into her web.

 

The argiope spiders make excellent photography subjects because they don't react to the camera lens. Part of the reason is probably their rather poor vision, as they do not rely on sight to catch prey, but on the vibrations produced in their webs. Smaller orb weavers, like members of the genus Araneus, which also inhabit our yard, sometimes make webs even bigger than the argiopes, but they are very difficult to photograph. Maybe because they are small and tasty morsels for birds, these spiders do not sit in the middle of their web during the day, but usually hide in a nearby leaf at the base of one of the web support strands. If they happen to be in the middle of the web, my approach with the camera almost always makes them retreat to a safe hiding place. In spite of their large size and the care with which they place their webs, the argiope spiders in our yard are often taken by predators such as birds.

 

An interesting feature of many orb webs is the central white design created by the spider, called a stabilimentum (referring to the idea that it helps stabilize the web). With argiopes, this area is almost round and filled in with many zigzags of silk when the spider is young, but as it grows, the design changes to be more of a single vertical zigzag. Spiders are capable of creating as many as seven different kinds of silk using several different glands that supply the spinnerets. argiope spider hanging under its recently shed exoskeletonThe photo at left shows the underside of an adult female argiope. The spinnerets appear as a group of brown structures forming an irregular shaped disk. The different types of silk have varying amino acid compositions. The silk coming out of the spinnerets can vary from an extremely fine single line, like those used to create the main support lines on their web, to wide ribbons of silk used for subduing prey or making the central design on their web. Spiders can vary the stickiness of the silk as well as it's thickness. The purpose of the central design in many spiders' webs is not completely understood. It could serve several purposes, including a way to conceal the spider from its prey or its predators (which could explain why the patch is more disruptive for small, young spiders than for large ones), a way to keep birds from blundering into the web, or a lure for insects, as the silk reflects ultraviolet light in much the same way as do flower centers. Another spider habit that has never been fully explained is that of hanging upside down in the web. Almost all spiders do this but I've never heard a definitive explanation.

 

In order to grow, spiders must periodically shed their exoskeletons. This is a fascinating process to watch, but one which leaves the spider very vulnerable until its new skin hardens. When the spider is about to shed, the inside layers of its skin are digested. It anchors its legs on part of its web, hanging upside down. The top of the carapace splits open and the spider literally falls out of its old shell. It doesn't fall because it is anchored by a strand of silk from its spinnerets. As soon as the spider is completely free of its old skin, it hangs limp for awhile, then spreads its legs out to let them dry.female argiope spider just before laying eggs In the photograph above at right, the old skin is visible at the top, while the spider hangs below. At this point the spider is expanding its size, and it can even grow a new limb if one was lost before.

 

The females are easy to spot in their webs, but the males (photo at right) tend to be harder to find. When they are young, both the males and females look similar, but the males seem to never grow much, while the females become quite large. The males also do not remain in their original area if there is no female around. Once they mature, they must search out a female with whom to mate. Often, it is possible to find the tiny males living in their small webs just to the side of a female's large web. While both genders of argiopes have the habit of holding their legs in an X pattern, the males seem to make the posture more pronounced, possibly as an aid to their protective camouflage.

 

Just before laying eggs, the female spider is often quite large, her abdomen considerably distended. Argiopes produce large numbers of young in their egg sacs. argiope egg caseAlthough one sac seems to be the norm, we saw one female produce three over a period of a couple of weeks and have heard of a single spider producing four and still going strong. Unlike some spiders, such as the green lynx, who guard their eggs and young, argiopes tend to leave their eggs to their fate. The egg case looks like a miniature Greek wine vessel, with a bulbous shape and a little round neck at the top. The color of the egg case is brown and it is anchored within a framework of silk strands, keeping it away from surrounding vegetation. Although this protects the case from some predators, like ants, other predators and parasites lay their eggs within the cases as well. These tenants include other species of spiders as well as wasps. The young spiders hatch in the fall but overwinter in the egg case. These cases are very well constructed and we've seen them last not only through the winter, but through another year as well, before the weather eventually takes its toll and they are washed away.

 

Like many spiders, argiopes live only one year, expending all their energy into producing eggs (females) or sperm (males). They die once winter arrives.

The Riazor - Then and now

 

When Deportivo La Coruña was founded in 1906 they started playing on a field called Corral de la Gaiteira and in the local bull ring. In May 1909 the team moved to the place where the current stadium stands today. It used to be part of the gardens of the Catholic Church School called Las Esclavas (the slaves).

Now this school stands in front of the actual stadium, on the rocks of the beach. The local Government created the new pitch and it was nicknamed the Riazor, after the nearby Riazor Beach. The name stuck but since then the stadium has been remodeled four times:

  

1909: Viejo Riazor (Old Riazor)

Nowadays the stadium built at the Las Esclavas location is called Viejo Riazor. It was inaugurated on 16 May, 1909 with a match between Deportivo and Fortuna de Vigo. Five years later new goals were added together with small terraces. The stadium was also fenced up so people would have to pay to see the match.

In this first Riazor, Deportivo played against the charismatic Uruguayan national team, knocked Real Madrid out of the Copa del Rey and obtained their first promotion to the Primera División. Some important players of Deportivo's history played in this era like Chacho, Ramón González, Juan Acuña and Luis Otero. Deportivo played in this Old Riazor until 1944.

 

1944: Riazor

In 1944 the largest football stadium in the history of the Galician region was built. This Riazor had a capacity of 40,000 to 45,000 spectators.

The first match in the new stadium was played on 29 October, 1944 and priest Ricardo Domí­nguez Dopazo blessed the place in the morning. The Mayor back then was Vázquez-Peña and the president of Deportivo at that time was Ruenes. Some supporters thought the new stadium contained a mistake as the terraces were very far away from the pitch and there was a rumour that the pitch was possessed by the devil. That year Deportivo went down to the Segunda División...

The stadium had cost 5 million pesetas to construct. The promoter of it was former Mayor José Pérez, materializing the ideas of Ramon del Llano. The design of the stadium and the project's sheets were made by municipal architect Santiago Rey Pedreira and Angel Llopiz. The stadium covered an area of 39.325 m2 and the pitch 7.770 m2 (105x74 meters) was one of the biggest in Spain.

Behind the stadium, over the standing Fondo terrace, a great tower of 45 meters was built. Next to it some training pitches, popularly called picadero were constructed. The front of it was surrounded by arches and columns. There was also a training pitch (80x65 meters), demolished in 1968 to make way for the Municipal Pavilion of Sports.

The official capacity of the stadium back then was 37,000. However in some matches there were sold about 60,000 tickets! The biggest terrace was the one in front of the covered stands. This one wasn't covered and was called Preferencia.

The inauguration match in 1944 was played against Valencia and it was dedicated to Virgilio López Rincón, the only survivor from the first team of the 1906 Deportivo. The first eleven Deportivo players that played that day were: Acuña, Portugués, Guimerans, Bienzobas, Lezama, Caballero, Molaza, Marquinez, Pedrito and Paquirri. Deportivo lost 2-3 and the first goal of the history in the stadium was scored by Valencia player Hernández in front of 18,000 spectators.

After 1944, a few great Deportivo players performed in this stadium like Luis Suárez, Amancio and Veloso. The only final of the Copa del Rey played in the city was in this stadium as in 1947 as Real Madrid beat Espanyol 2-0 in front of 30,000 spectators. In the same year the first edition of the Trofeo Teresa Herrera was celebrated, which was won by Athletic de Bilbao as they beat Brazilian Vasco de Gama 3-2.

1982: remodelling for World Cup tournament

At the start of the 1980s the stadium was remodelled again due to the World Cup taking place in Spain in 1982. The organization wanted to change it radically: a reduction of capacity but an increase of comfort. Instead of cemented seats, they wanted to install plastic seats with a back. The remodelled Riazor was inaugurated with the World Cup being played in June 1982. It was officially inaugurated on 15 June, 1982 with the match Peru - Cameroon that ended 0-0.

So, this remodelling became a total renovation. They had to demolish the great terrace of the Preferencia Superior because it was built with poor material. They only conserved parts from the Old Riazor like the big Marathon tower and some walls. The stadium became more comfort but actually got worse: the losing of 10,000 seats didn't make sense.

This time the remodelling was promoted by Angel Ron, La Coruña's delegate of the World Cup. The total inversion was 501.469.000 pesetas, of which 402.239.000 (80%) came from the City Hall and only 99.230.000 (20%) from the World Cup organization. Those years the relationship between the City Government and the club were very good.

In 1983, Mayor Francisco Vázquez and Deportivo president Corzo Sierra signed a deal that allowed Deportivo to use the stadium whenever they wanted. This pact will stand for 50 years, until 2033, with the only annual cost for Deportivo being a symbolic 1 peseta. This contract is very important for Deportivo because it guarantees the club a place to call 'home' in the city for the next 50 years. It also links the club with the local Government, so as to preserve good relations.

The great remodelling and the contract were the first lines of a new chapter in the stadium's history. Riazor had to be prepared for the year 2000, especially the changing and press room. After this, it needed some important changes in the terraces concerning the telecommunications aspect. They also had to demolish some athletic runways - the best in Spain at that time - leaving behind only six of them. The first Deportivo player scoring in the new stadium was Jose Luis against Alavés.

  

1990s: final improvements

  

As indicated, that the stadium had lost some of its initial capacity during the remodelling process. But the excellent results of the team in the 1990s in both domestic and European competitions made it being too small and in need for new changes.

 

In 1995 the idea to close the stadium and to construct a new terrace behind the Sports Pavilion was considered. In this case it would an "U" shape. The new project included a big red top to cover the whole stadium and the local government would pay for it.

In the end the athletic runways were completely suppressed and this led to a big polemic because those were the only runways in the city. Most part of Riazor got covered with plastic seats and the marathon terrace was also modified, bringing it closer to the pitch. The metallic fences were kept intact, although they were very uncomfortable when watching the match from the 10 first rows. The big nets behind both goals were also not very popular, but they remained unchanged.

The stadium capacity was increased to 34,600 places, all seated. The current Riazor was inaugurated in February, 1998 with the match between Deportivo and Real Madrid (2-2). Some radical spectators were unhappy about the plastic seats, as they didn't want to sit down. Around 100 seats were stolen or thrown on the pitch during that match and 84 more against Alavés three days later. The official inauguration took place during the summer of 1998, with a match for the Teresa Herrera tournament starring Real Madrid and Lazio Roma. The first goal was scored by Morientes and the match was dedicated to Deportivo ex-players Rodrigo Vizoso, Acuña and Pedrito, members of the Deportivo squad that played the inaugural match after the 1944 remodelling.

After these stadium improvements, some more slight remodellings have been made. A new system for TV transmissions, the UCO, was installed. And in 2000, just before Deportivo's first Champions League match, some of the other sections, like the press room, were also improved. In the summer of 2001, the new VIP terraces were built and they are among the best in Europe as there is an exterior section with deluxe seats and the interior has TV's, Mini bar, etc. The VIP terraces have individual exits to the stadium and an independent luxury shop. In the summer of 2002, two big TFT displays were added to the stadium (10x10 meters), right above the goals. Replays and music videos can now be played.

Die neu gewonnene Breite der Straße wurde im Tagblatt gerühmt -

ja woher sollte die neue Breite denn kommen - wenn nicht aus eine falschen Vermessung!

 

- neue Kosten - + 50.000, eher + 100. 000, neu verlegte Bordsteine beidseitig raus und rein, mit Trainage!

 

eventuell Ende 2009 Eröffnung der Straße;

kurz vor der Eröffnung , letzte November Woche ist beim Test für die Busse im Gegenverker erkannt worden, daß es doch zu eng wird.

50 cm müssen vom Radweg, genagelt werden, d.h. doppelte Nutzung durch Bus und Rad!

Over 15 years ago I visited San Antonio and toured the famous building, The Alamo. I took this photo outside the building with my old film camera, and today I scanned it and enhanced it in PhotoShop, applying the a sepia tone and the Redfield "Fractalius" filter.

 

THE BATTLE OF THE ALAMO:

 

The Battle of the Alamo (February 23 – March 6, 1836) is the most famous battle of the Texas Revolution. After a revolutionary army of Texian settlers and adventurers from the United States drove all Mexican troops out of Mexican Texas, Mexican President Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna led an invasion to regain control of the area. Mexican forces arrived in San Antonio de Bexar on February 23 and initiated a siege of the Texian forces garrisoned at the Alamo Mission.

 

In the early morning hours of March 6 the Mexican army launched an assault on the Alamo. The outnumbered Texians repulsed two attacks, but were unable to fend off a third. As Mexican soldiers scaled the walls, most of the Texian soldiers retreated into the long barracks or the chapel. Several small groups who were unable to reach these points attempted to escape and were killed outside the walls by the waiting Mexican cavalry. The Mexican soldiers fought room-to-room and soon had control over the Alamo.

 

Between five and seven Texians may have surrendered; if so, they were quickly executed on Santa Anna's orders. Most eyewitness accounts reported between 182 and 257 Texian dead, while most Alamo historians agree that 400–600 Mexicans were killed or wounded. Of the Texians who fought during the battle, only two survived: Joe, spared because he was a slave, and Brigido Guerrero, a Mexican Army deserter who convinced Mexican soldiers he had been imprisoned. Women and children, primarily family members of the Texian soldiers, were questioned by Santa Anna and then released.

 

On Santa Anna's orders, three of the survivors were sent to Gonzales to spread word of the Texian defeat. After hearing this news, Texian army commander Sam Houston ordered a retreat; this sparked the Runaway Scrape, a mass exodus of citizens and the Texas government towards the east (away from the Mexican army). News of the Alamo's fall prompted many Texas colonists to join Houston's army. On the afternoon of April 21 the Texian army attacked Santa Anna's forces in the Battle of San Jacinto. During the battle many Texians shouted "Remember the Alamo!" Santa Anna was captured and forced to order his troops out of Texas, ending Mexican control of the area, which subsequently became the Republic of Texas.

 

By March 24 a list of names of the Texians who died at the Alamo had begun to be compiled. The first history of the battle was published in 1843, but serious study of the battle did not begin until after the 1931 publication of Amelia W. Williams's dissertation attempting to identify all of the Texians who died at the Alamo. The first full-length, non-fiction book covering the battle was published in 1948. The battle was first depicted in film in the 1911 silent film The Immortal Alamo, and has since been featured in numerous movies, including one directed by John Wayne. The Alamo church building has been designated an official Texas state shrine, with the Daughters of the Republic of Texas acting as permanent caretakers.

Registration Number: Belgian Registered

Chassis Number: 9306700153

 

Introduced in 1976 for competition in Group 4 GT, the Porsche 934 and its subsequent derivative the Porsche 935 represent the most successful and important of all sports-racing and GT cars produced during the exciting times of the mid to late 1970s. It was these fantastically advanced, yet typically reliable machines which took the motorsport reputation of Porsche, already at a very high level, to one of total world dominance. A position in sports car racing they are yet to relinquish.

 

One of only 31 built, this genuine matching 934 RSR Turbo is indeed an extremely rare specimen. Chassis 9306700153 is listed and described in Jürgen Barth's and Bernd Dobronz's book “Porsche - 934/935” on pages 61, 285 and 286 as being the 17th car built.

 

Its first owner; Jean Blaton bought this 934 from the Porsche works just prior to the Le Mans 24h race in 1976 and resprayed it from its original yellow livery (in which the car presents itself today) to white.

 

Starting at Le Mans in 1976 with the drivers Nick Faure and John Goss, the car did not finish the race due to problems with the turbocharger. Subsequently Blaton sold the car to well known NSU and Porsche tuner Jean-Pierre Gaban and on 23rd May 1978, Willy Braillard won the Grand Prix of Zolder against John Lagodny and Claude Bourgoignie, both competing in 935 Porsches.

 

J.P. Gaban kept the car until 1982 and Braillard twice scored 2nd places on 4th September 1977 as well as on 24th September 1977 in Zolder. Braillard was also successful in winning on 7th June 1978 on the 600kms of Spa. The car was then sold to the Vermeulen brothers who in turn sold it to long term owner Walter Pauwels, from him it came to its current owner who restored the car and rebuilt it back to its livery in yellow as delivered by the works back in 1976.

 

Today the car presents itself in superb condition and its engine and turbo charger was recently on a dyno, reading over 400hp at a boost pressure of only 0.8 Bar (over 500hp at 1.3 Bar). This is indeed one of the ultra rare (1 of 31 built) Porsche 934 RSR Turbos with documented period race history, FIA papers and race ready.

 

This represents a marvellous opportunity for a Porsche collector to purchase one of the most significant survivors from this important period or for a historic racer to return this car to the tracks. In this vein this is a car that is ideal for historic racing, both here on the continent and in the USA. In these events, it would surely dominate as it did so gloriously during the late 1970's.

Chilodonella cucullulus es el dromedario de los ciliados y no nos muestra su perfil

más agraciado como cuando nadando dibuja el contorno de la huella de nuestro pie. Se ha puesto de lado y camina de puntillas sobre unos restos de vegetales que se deshacen bajo el agua y casi, alardeando de ella, enseña su gran joroba.

 

Como en los dromedarios del desierto, la joroba de Chilodonella está rellena de reservas, no es agua ni son grasas, es cristal y son azúcares, son en definitiva diatomeas que ha ido capturando con su boca de canasta aspiradora. Chilodonella engulle diatomeas sin cesar en una práctica de faquir ansioso, una tras otra, agujas vivas de cuarzo, cuchillos transparentes de doble filo van pasando a su interior y van hinchando esa joroba que se llena de reservas de ensalada de algas de cristal.

 

Pero aquí llega la sorpresa, casi con la misma avidez que las engulle, se va deshaciendo de ellas, expulsándolas por detrás, sembrando nuevamente el agua de joyas vivas. ¿Para qué todo este número? ¿simple exhibición?...sería extraño, en la Naturaleza todo tiene su sentido y una gran economía.

 

En apariencia, las diatomeas que expulsa Chilodonella están vivas, han pasado un tiempo dentro del cuerpo de un gigante. El cofre transparente y cristalino de las diatomeas no está expuesto directamente al agua, sobre él, una fina película de mucílago lo viste y lo protege. Es muy probable que Chilodonella no pueda hacer otra cosa y se tenga que conformar con la golosina azucarada que barniza a estos cofres herméticos y hermosos.

 

El ciliado dromedario y faquir que se muestra aquí, procede de una muestra recogida en el Torrent Albereda Un afluente del río Foix en Barcelona.

 

Gracias a Ángela lo podemos mostrar aquí haciendo esta completa exhibición. La fotografía se ha realizado a 400 aumentos utilizando la técnica de contraste de interferencia.

  

Gracias a Santiago Ortiz por incorporar nuestro proyecto a su magnífico Bestiario.

Con nuestra gratitud también para Pilar Gil por la publicación en Qúo, a Antonio Martínez Ron ...y también Paul/
