Opened in 1829, the ESP was the first modern prison in the world; it pioneered the idea that if prisoners were given quiet time to reflect rather than being tortured, they would feel penitent (this is the root of the word "penitentiary") and could rejoin society as productive members. Thus, for many decades the prisoners here were kept in their own cells and were prohibited from interacting with their fellow inmates. They exercised in individual, walled outdoor areas that were attached to their cells. It was only much later that "solitary confinement" came to acquire a negative connotation, as a special punishment for infractions committed while already in prison.
Among the ESP's more illustrious inmates in its 142 years of operation were Al Capone (who spent a year here), and the bank robber Willie Sutton. But perhaps its most unusual inmate was a dog, Pep (a black Labrador retriever). Said canine reportedly killed a cat belonging to Pennsylvania governor Gifford Pinchot; the governor retaliated by sentencing the dog to life in prison. I even saw a picture of the dog's admittance papers (he was admitted in 1924). But then the Governor got a lot of bad press over this, so he changed his story and said that the dog was his, and that he had donated it to the prison for the betterment of the inmates. Yeah, right.
In the mid-19th century, the ESP was quite the tourist attraction. Its distinguished visitors in that era included Alexis de Tocqueville and a young Charles Dickens. Before embarking on his first trip to the U.S. in 1842, Dickens said that the two places in this nation that he most wanted to see were Niagara Falls, and the Eastern State Penitentiary.
A reworked previous post based on constructive criticism to give a larger perspective and show more of the face whislt aiming to satisfy those thinking a closer crop may be better through the use of creative framing and texture added to by using an ice texture in a hard light blending mode and erasing the section over the face a colour cast has been further added using glamour glow plugin from nic software at 20% and reducing the temp til it looked right iv further tweaked with curves and exposure blending painted in... I really must write all this down caus I can never create it the same!
the texture was a sheet of ice from the garden..
the eyes were tweaked as before using an inverted mask and painted in screen mode and then with lighten to give them that shiny marble look... total process time around 35 mins and im sure i could do more to it with dodge and burn to give more of a movie poster feel.
I hope this helps in demystifying my processing a little.

Invictus
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever Gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance,
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance,
My head is bloodied but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the horror of the shade.
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how straight the gate,
Nor how charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.
-- William Ernest Henley
At the age of 12 Henley became a victim of tuberculosis of the bone. In spite of this, in 1867 he successfully passed the Oxford local examination as a senior student. His diseased foot had to be amputated directly below the knee; physicians announced the only way to save his life was to amputate the other. Henley persevered and survived with one foot intact. He was discharged in 1875, and was able to lead an active life for nearly 30 years despite his disability. With an artificial foot, he lived until the age of 54. "Invictus" was written from a hospital bed.

EXPLORED
You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness there inside you
Makes you feel so small
But I see your true colours
Shining through
I see your true colours
That's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colours
True colours are beautiful,
Like a rainbow.

Pissed!
The collapse of Icelandic banks with the help of the economical crises ruined our currency change recently. The Icelandic króna collapsed and most of Icelanders are loosing a lot. Some "Matador/Monopoly" men (former owners of the banks) have been playing with Icelanders's money and now we have to pay and some of us will lose everything... but ofcourse we will prevail, we are Icelanders, we will still have our arms and legs, this is not the end, just a new beginning for some of us and therefor the only way is up after a short period of time.
This is our biggest bill, the 5000 króna bill, now it's "worthless" and the old lady (the woman on the bill), is pissed because how she's been treated. "She" will probably be flushed down the toilet with a *** on her in near future and then we will have Euro or some other currency so we don't have to blame our "good old" króna anymore, the right thing to do? Who knows... I'm just going to play Scrabble... not Matador/Monopoly.

ENGLISH
The phonograph, or gramophone, was the most common device for playing recorded sound from the 1870s through the 1980s.
The famous phonograph was the fourth device for recording and replaying sound. The term phonograph ("sound writer") is derived from the Greek words φωνή (meaning "sound" or "voice" and transliterated as phoné) and γραφή (meaning "writing" and transliterated as graphé). Similar related terms gramophone and graphophone have similar root meanings. The coinage, particularly the use of the -graph root, may have been influenced by the then-existing words phonographic and phonography, which referred to a system of phonetic shorthand; in 1852 The New York Times carried an advertisement for "Professor Webster's phonographic class", and in 1859 the New York State Teachers' Association tabled a motion to "employ a phonographic recorder" to record its meetings.
F. B. Fenby was the original author of the word. An inventor in Worcester, Massachusetts, he was granted a patent in 1863 for an unsuccessful device called the "Electro-Magnetic Phonograph". His concept detailed a system that would record a sequence of keyboard strokes onto paper tape. Although no model or workable device was ever made, it is often seen as a link to the concept of punched paper for player piano rolls (1880s), as well as Herman Hollerith's punch card tabulator (used in the 1890 United States census), a distant precursor of the modern computer.
Arguably, any device used to record sound or reproduce recorded sound could be called a type of "phonograph", but in common practice it has come to mean historic technologies of sound recording.
In the late 19th and early 20th century, the alternative term talking machine was sometimes used. This term was more in line with Thomas Edison's early view that his invention was better suited for spoken recordings such as dictation than for musical recordings.

CASTELLANO
Un tocadiscos es un sistema de reproducción del sonido hijo del fonógrafo ya que usa el mismo tipo de tecnologia, sustituyendo el cilindro por un Disco de vinilo. El tocadiscos también ha sido conocido como platina de discos, giradiscos, tornamesa, fonochasis o pickup. Ninguna de estas cuatro últimas nomenclaturas tiene demasiada aceptación.
El fonógrafo, fue el dispositivo más común para reproducir sonido grabado desde la década de 1870 hasta la década de 1980.
La primera invención conocida de un dispositivo capaz de grabar sonido fue el "autofonógrafo", inventado por el francés Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville y patentado el 25 de marzo de 1857. Podía transcribir sonido a un medio visible, pero no tenía un modo de ser reproducido después. El aparato consistía de un cuerno o un barril que recogía las ondas hacia una membrana a la que estaba atado una cerda. Cuando llegaba el sonido, ésta vibraba y se movía y el sonido podía grabarse en un medio visible. Inicialmente, el fonoautógrafo grababa en un cristal ahumado. Una versión posterior usaba un papel también ahumado en un tambor o cilindro. Otra versión dibujaba una línea representando el sonido en un rollo de papel. El fonoautógrafo era una curiosidad de laboratorio para el estudio de la acústica. Era usado para determinar la frecuencia de un tono musical y para estudiar el sonido y el habla. No se entendió hasta después del desarrollo del fonógrafo que la onda grabada por el fonoautógrafo era de hecho una grabación del sonido que sólo necesitaba un medio de reproducción adecuado para sonar.
El fonógrafo fue el que, hasta 1876, se creyó el primer aparato capaz de grabar sonido, aunque sí fue el primero que pudo reproducirlo después. Thomas Alva Edison anunció la invención de su primer fonógrafo, el 21 de noviembre de 1877, mostró el dispositivo por primera vez el 29 de noviembre de ese mismo año y lo patentó el 19 de febrero de 1878.
El fonógrafo utiliza un sistema de grabación mecánica analógica en el cual las ondas sonoras son transformadas en vibraciones mecánicas mediante un transductor acústico-mecánico. Estas vibraciones mueven un estilete que labra un surco helicoidal sobre un cilindro de fonógrafo. Para reproducir el sonido se invierte el proceso.
Al principio se utilizaron cilindros de cartón recubiertos de estaño, más tarde de cartón parafinado y, finalmente, de cera sólida. El cilindro de cera, de mayor calidad y durabilidad, se comercializó desde 1889, un año después de que apareciera el gramófono.
El 2 de diciembre de 1889 un representante de la casa Edison, Theo Wangeman, grabó una interpretación del celebérrimo compositor Johannes Brahms. Se trataba de un segmento de las Danzas Húngaras en una versión para piano solo. Esta grabación aún se conserva, pero su calidad es pésima.

De Nuba, die leven in centraal Soedan, de provincie Kordofan, verwierven internationale bekendheid door de bijzondere fotoreportages van Leni Riefenstahl. In haar boeken schetst zij een fascinerend beeld van een unieke geïsoleerde samenleving waar de lichaamsdecoraties, met name kleurrijke lichaamsbeschilderingen en scarificaties, tot een kunst verheven werden. Sindsdien is uiteraard de invloed van het christendom en de islam toegenomen. Vele mannen dragen nu een djellabas naar aloude moslimtraditie.
Uit Wikipedia:
Nuba is a collective term used here for the peoples who inhabit the Nuba Mountains, in Kordofan province, Sudan, Africa. Although the term is used to describe them as if they composed a single group, the Nuba are multiple distinct strains and use different forms of speech. Estimates of the Nuba population vary widely; the Sudanese government estimated that they numbered 1.1 million in 1993.

Cette année, j'ai eu la chance, à l'occasion du brame du cerf, de rencontrer cet animal à l'approche très difficile pour le photographe, en particulier.
En effet, le cerf ne pointe le museau dehors qu'au lever du jour ou à la tombée de la nuit; au moment où la lumière est très faible, de plus il s'expose très peu de temps , a un odorat très puissant qu'il est difficile de tromper.
Pas facile dans ces conditions d'obtenir de bons clichés. Souvent, je suis revenu bredouille, mais quand même j'y suis retourné avec l'espoir d'avoir un peu plus de chance.
J'y retournerai l'annèe prochaine, un peu plus aguerri peut-être.
This year, I had the chance, at the call of the deer, meet the animal to approach very difficult for the photographer in particular.
Indeed, the deer does not point out the muzzle at daybreak or dusk, when the light is very low, the more it exposes a very short time, has a very strong smell that it is difficult to deceive.
Not easy in these conditions to get good shots. Often, I returned empty-handed, but still I went back hoping to have a bit more luck.
I will return next of year, a little more seasoned, perhaps.
Este año, tuve la oportunidad, a la llamada de los ciervos, conocer al animal a acercarse muy difícil para el fotógrafo en particular.
En efecto, el venado no señala el hocico al amanecer o al atardecer, cuando la luz es muy baja, más se expone a un tiempo muy corto, tiene un olor muy fuerte que es difícil de engañar.
No es fácil en estas condiciones para obtener buenas tomas. A menudo, volví con las manos vacías, pero aún así me volvió la esperanza de tener suerte un poco más.
Voy a volver al lado de año, un poco más experimentado, tal vez.
Este ano, tive a oportunidade, ao chamado do cervo, conhecer o animal se aproximar muito difícil para o fotógrafo em particular.
Na verdade, o veado não apontar o focinho ao amanhecer ou ao anoitecer, quando a luz é muito baixa, mais ele expõe um tempo muito curto, tem um cheiro muito forte de que é difícil de enganar.
Não é fácil, nestas condições, para obter boas fotos. Muitas vezes, voltei de mãos vazias, mas ainda voltei com a esperança de ter um pouco mais de sorte.
Voltarei próximo do ano, um pouco mais experiente, talvez.
Bonne journée à tous. merci pour vos visites et commentaires.

You really need to View On Black
This marks the 52nd shot of my 52 weeks of self portraits. It was the toughest one to do (although there were some about 3/4 the way through that seemed impossible to do as well). I have to say I'm sick of seeing myself and sick of doing self portraits. I honestly don't know how all the 365 'ers manage to do it. 52 is nothing in comparison. Still, I'm going to take a break from selfies for a while. [insert applause track here] I'm not sure for how long. Just long enough to be motivated. This may occur sooner than later since the pressure to take a weekly shot is off. I say pressure because after you've taken about 15 weekly portraits, you start to run out of original ideas. Not that original ideas won't surface, it's just that they take time to develop. I noticed that even after I had taken this photo, the creativity started seeping back in. Anyway, I chose this tunnel for the final shot. I'd had it in mind for over a month because I felt it symbolized both beginning and end in that you can see the light, yet I also have the choice to turn around and go the opposite way, not towards the end, but to the entry. There's light there too. I think there are certain times when you want to see the light at the end but often, the journey needs to continue. So you either wander around in the tunnel or proceed back to the entry. Me? I'm headed back to the entry. It also seemed fitting since this is New Year's Eve -- another end and beginning. With that, I wish everyone a very happy and safe New Year. Cheers!
[side note: the tunnel was quite busy with people passing by. I waited for quite a bit before I setup my equipment. Once others saw the tripod and camera bag, and that this might be a cool place to photograph, it was like a feeding frenzy -- people started snapping photos all over the tunnel (not of me, but of the tunnel). One guy even set his tripod up about 10 feet behind me. I had to check to make sure there wasn't one of those 'Kodak Picture Spot' signs nearby.]

This is a vertorama made of 2 sets of images taken with a wide angle lens. Much distortion correction was required. I was trying to get a less distorted view that still showed the entire arc and the buildings behind. It ended up in square format.
I love the "Labor Legacy Landmark". In my humble(?) opinion, it is the finest piece of public art in Michigan.
The Labor Legacy Landmark
With its shining arch rising 63 feet above the ground, the Labor Legacy Landmark, "Transcending," draws attention to itself as one of the newest additions to the Detroit skyline. The piece, commissioned by the Michigan Labor Legacy Project and funded solely through donations from union members without the aid of public or corporate money, is designed to celebrate the history and contributions of labor. The only such monument in the United States, the Labor Legacy Landmark is the work of local sculptors David Barr and Sergio De Giusti.
Barr, a teacher of sculpture and an internationally acclaimed artist, created the "Four Corners Project," in which he placed four carved marble tetrahedrons at equidistant sites around the globe, in effect creating the largest sculpture ever made. The Italian-born De Giusti is best known for his representative relief works, on display at public institutions throughout the state and around the world. One of De Giusti's works,a nine-foot bronze freestanding relief, is prominently displayed at the main plaza of the Blue Cross Blue Shield Building.
Barr, whose work is primarily abstract and symbolic, sought out the collaboration with De Giusti in order to add a more intimate dimension to the project. Both men envisioned something other than the funereal, European tradition of famous leaders commemorated by solemn statues. Instead, they set out to create a space - an environment where viewers can enjoy art as they come to understand and appreciate the struggles of labor.
From afar, (the piece can be seen from Canada) the work's great stainless steel arch is its most visible aspect. The notched, rounded arch resembles the ubiquitous symbol of labor - the gear and serves as a testament to labor's spirit of exuberance and defiance.
"Transcending's" circular form also stands in contrast to the city's grid-like design as a symbol of inclusion. The bottom of the gear appears to merge into the earth. Barr says, "The world drives industry and labor, and industry and labor drive the world."
The arch rests on a circular, raised dais, and is partially encircled by seven granite boulders all split symmetrically in two. According to De Giusti "Stones have a great presence and have always been used to commemorate events. They are markers of a people and a generation." Brought from Vermont, the stones suggest a strong linkage to the past and their permanence creates a link towards our future.
The boulders' polished surfaces are adorned with De Giusti's bronze reliefs which depict the sacrifices and achievements of labor. His method of presenting objects pushing through and receding into the flat surface of the relief, suggests the embedding of fossils in stone. In direct sunlight, the bronze shines like a geode from within the split rock.
The piece also includes a twisting marble path. A tile at the beginning of the path is engraved with the words, "Labor's achievements are America's strength," and subsequent tiles enumerate those achievements - "Free public education," "Human rights," "Equality for women." Other tiles feature historical labor-related quotes such as "Without struggle there is no progress" (attributed to Frederick Douglas), and Martin Luther King's words, "The arc of history bends toward justice."
De Giusti's reliefs line the path at it spirals inward. At the spiral's center are two boulders - one displaying chains and the other displaying hands - directly below the apex of Barr's arch. A look straight upwards reveals that the arch is divided by a narrow gap at the top. This separation symbolizes how far labor has come and how far it still has to go. At night the arch is made whole by lights projecting from the two disconnected ends.
When the piece was still in the proposal stage, then-Mayor Dennis Archer told the Detroit Free Press, "What the labor movement is doing is reminding everybody who builds buildings that public art also has a place in the betterment of a city." In "Transcending" Barr and De Giusti have created not only an important piece of art but also a significant historical and educational setting designed to connect viewers to the past and inspire them to affect their future. - Nick Sousanis
hertford.net/history/bluecoats.php For some 300 years Hertford was the home of Christ's Hospital and the Bluecoat girls and boys that inhabited it. The name is misleading however, as the institution was not only a hospital but a school, established under Royal Charter. Nor was it, as widely believed, a private school, but a charitable institution established in 1552 by Edward VI. It is unclear when children from the school first came to Hertford, but it may have been during the latter half of the 16th century that The Plague necessitated the removal of children in households in Hertford, Ware and Hoddesdon. From 1682 to about 1684 two parallel rows of cottages were built to house 400 children and attendant nurses. These have since been converted for use as offices and homes.

150 – Centocinquantesimo
Raccolta fotografica dedicata al centocinquantesimo anniversario dell’Unità d’Italia.
Un’opera da collezionare.
CON IL PATROCINIO DELL’ANCI (Associazione Nazionale Comuni Italiani),
DI “SAPIENZA” - UNIVERSITÀ DEGLI STUDI DI ROMA, DEL CONSIGLIO REGIONALE DEL LAZIO E DEL
COMUNE DI ISOLA DEL LIRI
DAL 7 DICEMBRE IN LIBRERIA
A conclusione delle celebrazioni dei 150 anni dell’Unità d’Italia, la casa editrice Gargoyle in
collaborazione con Editrice Pisani manda in stampa Fratelli Comuni, una raccolta fotografica per
“raccontare” in modo originale e partecipe come l’Italia abbia vissuto questa importante ricorrenza.
L’idea, nata la notte del 17 marzo 2011, complice l’incantevole cornice della Cascata Grande di
Isola del Liri – illuminata, in occasione dei festeggiamenti, con i colori della nostra bandiera - era
quella di scoprire come altri comuni italiani avessero vissuto quel giorno, se quell’anniversario
avesse davvero risvegliato un sentimento di unità, un sussulto di fratellanza autentico e vivo in
grado di esprimersi non con il linguaggio vacuo e altisonante della retorica, ma con quello semplice
dei cittadini, che, nel silenzio e nell’anonimato, hanno combattuto e combattono ogni giorno per
custodire la dignità e la bellezza del nostro Paese.
Quella stessa dignità e bellezza capaci di commuovere gli italiani quando Roberto Benigni legge
Dante, ricordando a tutti noi ciò che siamo stati, le nostre radici, o ancora, quando sussurra con
dolcezza l’inno di Mameli, rammentando con passione e entusiasmo la generazione di chi, con
cuore puro e innamorato, non esitò a sacrificarsi per la propria patria. Uno spirito di appartenenza
e di sacrificio tornato a rivivere proprio in questi giorni di crisi, nei gesti dei volontari e dei cittadini
che con generosità cercano di far fronte al disastro provocato dalle recenti alluvioni, abbattutesi su
Genova e altri comuni liguri. Atti che mostrano bene come gli italiani siano un popolo, solidale e
unito, capace di slanci di grande generosità; “una d’arme, di lingua, d’altare, di memorie, di
sangue, di cor”, scriveva Alessandro Manzoni dell’Italia nell’ode Marzo 1821.
Attraverso la ricostruzione delle tappe più significative che hanno caratterizzato questo giorno di
festa (allestimenti, manifestazioni, eventi simbolo il cui filo conduttore è il Tricolore) Fratelli Comuni
mette assieme, in un unico volume, le immagini più belle e rappresentative di un momento
importante della nostra storia, e, quello che ci consegna, è un concerto armonico di sorrisi, sguardi
ed emozioni, un mosaico variopinto di atmosfere, protagonisti e istanti destinati a rimanere nel
tempo. Fratelli Comuni, però, è anche un’occasione per riflettere, un tentativo di ricordare e far
ricordare le ricchezza e la straordinaria varietà della nostra Italia, perché i 150 anni di Unità non
vengano considerati solo alla luce degli avvenimenti storici, politici ed economici che ne hanno
contraddistinto la storia, ma siano testimonianza delle tante ed esaltanti avventure culturali e
intellettuali che ci hanno resi noti nel mondo, in ambito umanistico come in quello scientifico. Tale
patrimonio ci rende fieri di essere italiani.
Il volume si compone di tre sezioni: la prima è una raccolta di scatti fotografici volti a
documentare come comuni e province d’Italia, da Nord a Sud, dai più piccoli ai più grandi,
abbiano commemorato e celebrato questo evento. E, sfogliando il volume, colpisce come le
immagini, a volte, registrino già un passaggio del tempo e appartengano al passato, come quelle
del comune di Monterosso, nelle Cinque Terre, quasi cancellato dall’alluvione.
La seconda, con la prefazione dello storico Virgilio Ilari, Presidente della Società Italiana di Storia
Militare, è dedicata alle Forze Armate e vuole essere un omaggio speciale a tutti coloro che ogni
giorno, con spirito di sacrificio, difendono i valori della pace e della democrazia. Un compito, il loro,
ancor più prezioso se considerato alla luce degli attuali scenari nazionali e internazionali.
La terza, infine, è una sezione speciale; una galleria di ritratti di personaggi illustri che nel
tempo hanno contribuito a fare grande e prestigioso il nostro Paese. Sette le categorie (musica,
moda, spettacolo, sport, politica, industria e premi Nobel); ognuna di queste è introdotta da
esponenti del mondo accademico, artistico e dello sport.
Ma i veri autori e protagonisti di Fratelli Comuni sono i cittadini stessi, le tante realtà
comunali e le province italiane che, con l’invio di materiale fotografico, hanno incoraggiato,
supportato e reso possibile la realizzazione di questa grande opera, dove le tradizioni del
passato si fondono armoniosamente con l’innovazione tecnologica del presente.
Le presentazioni del volume saranno patrocinate dalla Presidenza del Consiglio dei
Ministri e dal Ministero per i Beni e le Attività Culturali.

When in China, learn how to prepare & drink tea...
It is time for some hot tea, so when in Shingi set off for the city's wholesale markets and find more than tea: immense knowledge and generosity. There are rows and rows of crammed stalls in the giant, drafty: "Du Ba Tong" - "Tianshan Tea City" in western Shanghai!
Very much off the main trek of any visitor, worth a umpteen cups of tea that you will be able to sample. 3 floors of maybe 300+ tea wholesalers.
Pu'er is special tea, actually from a different type of tea plant, and is superb. Aged pu'er teas are sought after and are extremely pricey, fetching more than 50 rmb per gram. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pu-erh_tea

A recent thread at Asterisk (this is APOD's discussion forum) got me looking at this beautiful object and the data in Hubble's archive. I noticed there was a very intimate look at the center of this starburst galaxy featuring many bright, young stars comprising super star clusters and decided to process it, making sure not to over brighten the star clusters so that as many details would remain preserved as possible.
In the center is Cluster A, which is actually two clusters which are called A1 and A2. At lower left, the next brightest cluster is called Cluster B. To the upper right is Cluster C, which is somewhat enshrouded in nebula.
Other star clusters are also visible as dimmer, soft yellow blobs which almost look like elliptical galaxies because it's very hard to make out any individual members. I'm not sure what kind of star clusters those are. To me they look a lot like small globular clusters. One may be tempted to conclude that we are seeing the life cycle of globular clusters in some kind of holy grail moment, but something tells me that if that were the case it would have made headlines somewhere. Our knowledge about the formation of globular clusters is murky at best. Does NGC 1569 offer any insights?

ENGLISH
The Burgos Cathedral (Spanish: Catedral de Burgos) is a Gothic-style cathedral in Burgos, Spain. It is dedicated to the Virgin Mary and is famous for its vast size and unique architecture. Its construction began in 1221, following French Gothic parameters.
It had very important modifications in the 15th and 16th centuries (spires of the principal façade, Chapel of the Constable, cimborio of the transept: these elements of advanced Gothic give the cathedral its distinguished profile). The last works of importance (the sacristy or the Chapel of Saint Thecla) occurred during the 18th century, the century in which the Gothic statuary of the doors of the principal façade was also transformed.
At the beginning of the 20th century, some semidetached construction to the cathedral was eliminated, such as the Archepiscopal Palace and the upper floor of the cloister. The style of the cathedral is Gothic, although it has some Renaissance and Baroque works.
The cathedral was declared a "World Heritage Site" by UNESCO on October 31 of 1984. It is the only Spanish cathedral that has this distinction independiently, without being joined to the historic center of a city (as in Salamanca, Santiago de Compostela, Ávila, Córdoba, Toledo or Cuenca) or in union with others buildings, as in Seville.

CASTELLANO
La Catedral de Santa María de Burgos (Castilla y León, España) es un templo católico dedicado a la Virgen María. Su construcción comenzó en 1221, siguiendo patrones góticos franceses. Tuvo importantísimas modificaciones en los siglos XV y XVI: las agujas de la fachada principal, la Capilla del Condestable y el cimborrio del crucero, elementos del gótico avanzado que dotan al templo de su perfil inconfundible. Las últimas obras de importancia (la Sacristía o la Capilla de Santa Tecla) pertenecen ya al siglo XVIII, siglo en el que también se retiraron las portadas góticas de la fachada principal. El estilo de la catedral es el gótico, aunque posee, en su interior, varios elementos renacentistas y barrocos. La construcción y las remodelaciones se realizaron con piedra caliza extraída de las canteras del cercano pueblo burgalés Hontoria de la Cantera.
La catedral burgalesa fue declarada Monumento Nacional el 8 de abril de 1885 y Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco el 31 de octubre de 1984. Es la única catedral española que tiene esta distinción de la Unesco de forma independiente, sin estar unida al centro histórico de una ciudad (como en Salamanca, Santiago de Compostela, Ávila, Córdoba, Toledo o Cuenca) o en compañía de otros edificios, como en Sevilla.

Those in Edmonton probably know this vista well. I usually revisit this place a couple of times per year for photos. I'd love to get permission to go onsite and shoot, but Oil companies usually don't like cameras anywhere near their refineries...
I find these refineries very beautiful, but a little depressing at the same time...

ENGLISH
The pits usually comprise of a pit lane which runs parallel to the start/finish straight and is connected at each end to the main track, and a row of garages (usually one per team) outside which the work is done. Pit stop work is carried out by anywhere from five to twenty mechanics (also called a pit crew), depending on the series, while the driver waits in the vehicle (except where a driver change is involved).
In Formula One, cars make pit stops with the primary purpose of refueling and changing tyres, although during the 2005 season tyre changing during the race was prohibited. Teams sometimes also make adjustments to the front and rear wings and perform minor repairs, most commonly replacing the nose and front wing assembly. Pit strategies generally call for between one and three scheduled stops, depending on the course.
When the car is approximately one lap away from making its stop, the team's pit crew will set up fresh tyres and all needed pit equipment. Because of the overhead fuel and pneumatic rig, the team may have all pit mechanics in position prior to the car's arrival, with the exception of the rear jack man.
A pit stop involves about twenty mechanics, with the aim of completing the stop as quickly as possible. It lasts for six to twelve seconds depending on how much fuel is put into the car. However, if there is a problem, such as a fuel pump failing or the engine stalling, or repairs having to be made, it can take much longer. Cars are fuelled at a rate of more than 12 litres per second. This is accomplished by a fairly complex closed system that pumps air out of the car's fuel tank as the fuel is being pumped in.

Los boxes comprenden el "pit lane", o carril de boxes, que corre paralelo a la recta de salida/meta y conectado a ella por los extremos, y una hilera de garajes (normalmente uno por equipo). El trabajo de la parada en boxes, que se lleva a cabo fuera de los garages, lo realiza un equipo de entre 5 y 20 mecánicos dependiendo del tipo de deporte, mientras el piloto espera en el vehículo (excepto cuando hay cambio de piloto).
En Fórmula 1, los coches hacen una parada en boxes con el prpósito principal de recargar combustible y cambiar ruedas, aunque en la temporada 2005 estuvo prohibido el cambio de ruedas. Los equipos a veces hacen ajustes en los alerones delanteros y traseros, así como reparaciones menores, como cambiar el morro. Las estrategias de boxes suelen comprender entre una y tres paradas, dependiendo de la carrera.
Cuando el coche está a una vuelta de la parada, el equipo de boxes prepara ruedas nuevas y todo el equipamiento necesario. Todos los mecánicos están en sus posiciones cuando llega el coche, excepto el encargado del elevador trasero.
Una parada en boxes implica veinte mecánicos, con el objetivo de completar la parada en el mínimo tiempo posible, que son entre seis y doce segundos dependiendo de la cantidad de combustible repostada. Sin embargo, su ocurre un problema como un fallo en la bomba de combustible o una parada de motor, o hay reparaciones adicionales, el tiempo se puede prolongar. Los coches repostan a razón de 12 litros por segundo. Este rápido repostaje se lleva a cabo por un complejo sistema cerrado que bombea aire fuera del depósito a medida que se llena de combustible.

New Yorkers Protest the US$850 BILLION (US$3 TRILLION) Wall Street BAILOUT: Wall Street, NYC - September 25, 2008.
This is actually a GOOD guy. See: billionairesforbush.com/index.php for more information.
VOTE YOUR CONSCIENCE on 04 NOVEMBER 2008!
Photographer: a. golden, eyewash design - c. 2008.
Friends,
The richest 400 Americans -- that's right, just four-hundred people -- own MORE than the bottom 150 million Americans COMBINED! 400 of the wealthiest Americans have got more stashed away than half the entire country! Their combined net worth is $1.6 trillion. During the eight years of the Bush Administration, their wealth has increased by nearly $700 billion -- the same amount that they were demanding We give to them for the "bailout." Why don't they just spend the money they made under Bush to bail themselves out? They'd still have nearly a trillion dollars left over to spread amongst themselves!
Of course, they are not going to do that -- at least not voluntarily. George W. Bush was handed a $127 billion surplus when Bill Clinton left office. Because that money was OUR money and not HIS, he did what the rich prefer to do -- spend it and never look back. Now we have a $9.5 trillion debt that will take seven generations from which to recover. Why -- on --earth – did -- our -- "representatives" -- give -- these -- robber -- barons -- $US850 BILLION -- of – OUR -- money?
Last week, proposed my own bailout plan. My suggestions, listed below, were predicated on the singular and simple belief that the rich must pull themselves up by their own platinum bootstraps. Sorry, fellows, but you drilled it into our heads one too many times: THERE...IS...NO…FREE... LUNCH ~ PERIOD! And thank you for encouraging us to hate people on welfare! So, there should have been NO HANDOUTS FROM US TO YOU! Last Friday, after voting AGAINST this BAILOUT, in an unprecedented turn of events, the House FLIP-FLOPPED their "No" Vote & said "Yes", in a rush version of a "bailout" bill vote. IN SPITE OF THE PEOPLE'S OVERWHELMING DISAPPROVAL OF THIS BAILOUT BILL... IN SPITE OF MILLIONS OF CALLS FROM THE PEOPLE CRASHING WASHINGTON "representatives'" PHONE LINES...IN SPITE OF CRASHING OUR POLITICIAN'S WEBSITES...IN SPITE OF HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE PROTESTING AROUND THE COUNTRY... THEY VOTED FOR THIS BAILOUT! The People first succeeded on Monday with the House, but failed do it with the Senate and then THE HOUSE TURNED ON US TOO!
It is clear, though, we cannot simply continue protesting without proposing exactly what it is we think THESE IDIOTS should/'ve do/one. So, after consulting with a number of people smarter than Phil Gramm, here’s the proposal, now known as "Mike's Rescue Plan." (From Michael Moore's Bailout Plan) It has 10 simple, straightforward points. They are that you DIDN'T, BUT SHOULD'VE:
1. APPOINTED A SPECIAL PROSECUTOR TO CRIMINALLY INDICT ANYONE ON WALL STREET WHO KNOWINGLY CONTRIBUTED TO THIS COLLAPSE. Before any new money was expended, Congress should have committed, by resolution, to CRIMINALLY PROSECUTE ANYONE who had ANYTHING to do with the attempted SACKING OF OUR ECONOMY. This means that anyone who committed insider trading, securities fraud or any action that helped bring about this collapse should have and MUST GO TO JAIL! This Congress SHOULD HAVE called for a Special Prosecutor who would vigorously go after everyone who created the mess, and anyone else who attempts to scam the public in future. (I like Elliot Spitzer ~ so, he played a little hanky-panky...Wall Street hates him & this is a GOOD thing.)
2. THE RICH SHOULD HAVE PAID FOR THEIR OWN BAILOUT! They may have to live in 5 houses instead of 7. They may have to drive 9 cars instead of 13. The chef for their mini-terriers may have to be reassigned. But there is no way in hell, after forcing family incomes to go down more than $2,000 dollars during the Bush years, that working people and the middle class should have to fork over one dime to underwrite the next yacht purchase.
If they truly needed the $850 billion they say they needed, well, here is an easy way they could have raised it:
a) Every couple makeing over a million dollars a year and every single taxpayer who makes over $500,000 a year should pay a 10% surcharge tax for five years. (It's the Senator Sanders plan. He's like Colonel Sanders, only he's out to fry the right chickens.) That means the rich would have still been paying less income tax than when Carter was president. That would have raise a total of $300 billion.
b) Like nearly every other democracy, they should have charged a 0.25% tax on every stock transaction. This would have raised more than $200 billion in a year.
c) Because every stockholder is a patriotic American, stockholders should have forgone receiving a dividend check for ONE quarter and instead this money would have gone the treasury to help pay for the bullsh*t bailout.
d) 25% of major U.S. corporations currently pay NO federal income tax. Federal corporate tax revenues currently amount to 1.7% of the GDP compared to 5% in the 1950s. If we raised the corporate income tax BACK to the levels of the 1950s, this would give us an extra $500 billion.
All of this combined should have been enough to end the calamity. The rich would have gotten to keep their mansions and their servants and our United States government ("COUNTRY FIRST!") would've have a little leftover to repair some roads, bridges and schools...
3. YOU SHOULD HAVE BAIL OUT THE PEOPLE LOSING THEIR HOMES, NOT THE PEOPLE WHO WILL BUILD AN EIGHTH HOME! There are 1.3 million homes in foreclosure right now. That is what is at the heart of this problem. So, instead of giving the money to the banks as a gift, they should have paid down each of these mortgages by $100,000. They should have forced the banks to renegotiate the mortgage so the homeowner could pay on its current value. To insure that this help wouldn't go to speculators and those who tried to making money by flipping houses, the bailout should have only been for people's primary residences. And, in return for the $100K pay-down on the existing mortgage, the government would have gotten to share in the holding of the mortgage so it could get some of its money back. Thus, the total initial cost of fixing the mortgage crisis at its roots (instead of with the greedy lenders) is $150 billion, not $850 BILLION.
And let's set the record straight. People who have defaulted on their mortgages are not "bad risks." They are our fellow Americans, and all they wanted was what we all want: a home to call their own. But, during the Bush years, millions of the People lost the decent paying jobs they had. SIX MILLION fell into poverty! SEVEN MILLION lost their health insurance! And, every one of them saw their real wages go DOWN by $2,000! Those who DARE look down on these Americans who got hit with one bad break after another should be ASHAMED.! We are a better, stronger, safer and happier society when all of our citizens can afford to live in a home they own.
4. THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A STIPULATION THAT IF YOUR BANK OR COMPANY GOT ANY OF OUR MONEY IN A "BAILOUT," THEN WE OWN YOU. Sorry, that's how it's done. If the bank gives me money so I can buy a house, the bank "owns" that house until I pay it all back -- with interest. Same deal for Wall Street. Whatever money you need to stay afloat, if our government considers you a safe risk -- and necessary for the good of the country -- then you can get a loan, but WE SHOULD OWN YOU. If you default, we will sell you. This is how the Swedish government did it and it worked.
5. ALL REGULATIONS SHOULD HAVE BEEN BE RESTORED. THE REAGAN REVOLUTION IS DEAD! This catastrophe happened because we let the fox have the keys to the hen-house. In 1999, Phil Gramm authored a bill to remove all the regulations that governed Wall Street and our banking system. The bill passed and Clinton signed it. Here's what Sen.Phil Gramm, McCain's chief economic advisor, said at the bill signing:
"In the 1930s ... it was believed that government was the answer. It was believed that stability and growth came from government overriding the functioning of free markets.
"We are here today to repeal [that] because we have learned that government is not the answer. We have learned that freedom and competition are the answers. We have learned that we promote economic growth and we promote stability by having competition and freedom.
"I am proud to be here because this is an important bill; it is a deregulatory bill. I believe that that is the wave of the future, and I am awfully proud to have been a part of making it a reality."
FOR THIS NOT TO REOCCUR, This BILL SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPEALED! Bill Clinton could have helped by leading the effort for the repeal of the Gramm bill and the reinstating of even tougher regulations regarding our financial institutions. And when they were done with that, they should have restored the regulations for the airlines, the inspection of our food, the oil industry, OSHA, and every other entity that affects our daily lives. All oversight provisions for any "bailout" should have had enforcement monies attached to them and criminal penalties for all offenders.
6. IF IT'S TOO BIG TO FAIL, THEN THAT MEANS IT'S TOO BIG TO EXIST! Allowing the creation of these mega-mergers and not enforcing the monopoly and anti-trust laws has allowed a number of financial institutions and corporations to become so large, the very thought of their collapse means an even bigger collapse across the entire economy. No ONE or TWO companies should EVER have this kind of power! The so-called "economic Pearl Harbor" can't happen when you have hundreds -- thousands -- of institutions where people have their money. When we have a dozen auto companies, if one goes belly-up, we DON'T FACE A NATIONAL DISASTER! If we have three separately-owned daily newspapers in your town, then one media company can't call all the shots (I know... What am I thinking?! Who reads a paper anymore? Sure glad all those mergers and buyouts left us with a STRONG and "FREE" press!). Laws Should have been enacted to prevent companies from being so large and dominant that with one slingshot to the eye, the GIANT FALLS and DIES. And no institution should be allowed to set up money schemes that NO ONE understands. If you can't explain it in two sentences, you shouldn't be taking anyone's money!
7. NO EXECUTIVE SHOULD EVER BE PAID MORE THAN 40 TIMES THEIR AVERAGE EMPLOYEE, AND NO EXECUTIVE SHOULD RECEIVE ANY KIND OF "PARACHUTE" OTHER THAN THE VERY GENEROUS SALARY HE OR SHE MADE WHILE WORKING FOR THE COMPANY. In 1980, the average American CEO made 45 times what their employees made. By 2003, they were making 254 times what their workers made. After 8 years of Bush, they now make over 400 times what their average employee makes. How We have allowed this to happen at publicly held companies is beyond reason. In Britain, the average CEO makes 28 times what their average employee makes. In Japan, it's only 17 times! The last I heard, the CEO of Toyota was living the high life in Tokyo. How does he do it on so little money? Seriously, this is an OUTRAGE! We have created the mess we're in by letting the people at the top become bloated beyond belief with millions of dollars. THIS HAS TO STOP! Not only should no executive who receives help out of this mess profit from it, but any executive who was in charge of running his company into the ground should be FIRED before the company receives ANY help.
8. CONGRESS SHOULD HAVE STRENGTHENED THE FDIC AND MADE IT A MODEL FOR PROTECTING NOT ONLY PEOPLE'S SAVINGS, BUT ALSO THEIR PENSIONS AND THEIR HOMES. Obama was correct to propose expanding FDIC protection of people's savings in their banks to $250,000. But, this same sort of government insurance must be given to our NEVER have to worry about whether or not the money they've put away for their old age will be there. This should have meant strict government oversight of companies who manage their employees' funds -- or perhaps it means the companies should have been forced to turn over those funds and their management to the government? People's private retirement funds must also be protected, but perhaps it's time to consider not having one's retirement invested in the casino known as the stock market??? Our government should have a solemn duty to guarantee that no one who grows old in this country has to worry about becoming destitute.
9. EVERYBODY NEEDS TO TAKE A DEEP BREATH, CALM DOWN, AND NOT LET FEAR RULE THE DAY. Turn off your TVs! We are NOT in the Second Great Depression. The sky is NOT falling, Chicken Little! Pundits and politicians have lied to us so FAST and FURIOUS it's hard not to be affected by all the fear mongering. Even I wrote to and repeated what I heard on the news last week, that the Dow had the biggest one day drop in its history. Well, that was true in terms of points, but its 7% drop came nowhere close to Black Monday in 1987 when the stock market in one day lost 23% of its value. In the '80s, 3,000 banks closed, but America didn't go out of business. These institutions have always had their ups and downs and eventually it works out. It has to, because the rich do not like their wealth being disrupted! They have a vested interest in calming things down and getting back into their Jacuzzis before they slip into their million thread-count sheets to drift off to a peaceful, Vodka tonic and Ambien-induced slumber.
As crazy as things are right now, tens of thousands of people got a car loan last week. Thousands went to the bank and got a mortgage to buy a home. Students just back to college found banks more than happy to put them into hock for the next 15 years with a student loan. I was even pre-approved for a US$5K personal loan. Yes, life has gone on with little-or-no-change (other than the whopping 6.1% umeployment rate, but that happened last month). Not a single person lost any of his/her monies in bank, or a treasury note, or in a CD. And, the perhaps the most amazing thing is that the American public FINALLY didn't buy the scare campaign. The citizens didn't blink, instead telling Congress to take that bailout and shove it. THAT was impressive. Why didn't the population succumb to the fright-filled warnings from their president and his cronies? Well, you can only say 'Saddam has the bomb' so many times before the people realize you're a lying sack of shit. After eight long years, the nation is worn out and simply can't take it any longer. The WORLD is fed up & I don't blame them.
10. THEY SHOULD HAVE CREATED A NATIONAL BANK, A "PEOPLE'S BANK." Since they're really itching to print up a trillion dollars, instead of giving it to a few rich people, why don't We give it to ourselves? Now that We own Freddie and Fannie, why not set up a People's bank? One that can provide low-interest loans for all sorts of people who want to own a home, start a small business, go to school, come up with the cure for cancer or create the next great invention. And, now that we own AIG - the country's largest insurance company - let's take the next step and PROVIDE HEALTH INSURANCE FOR EVERYONE. MEDICARE FOR ALL! It will SAVE us SO MUCH MONEY in the LONG RUN (not to mention bring peace of mind to all). And, America won't be 12th on the life expectancy list! We'll be able to have a longer lifespan, enjoying our government-protected pension and will live to see the day when the corporate criminals who caused this much misery are let out of prison so that We can help re-acclimate them to plain old ordinary, civilian life -- a life with ONE nice home and ONE gas-free car invented with help from the People's Bank.
P.S. Call your Senators NOW !!! ---> www.visi.com/juan/congress/
Since they voted against passing the extension of unemployment benefits and skipped out to "campaign" to us to be re-elected...call them and tell them you will vote for the other "guy" if they don't get their act together!
UPDATE:
The Bailout Is A Truly Evil Disaster And Enabler Pelosi Must Go
We are hearing more and more reports of how badly the ill-advised banker's bailout is being handled, multi-million dollar bonuses for Paulson's old cronies at Goldman Sachs, billions going to finance the takeover of rival banks, making the "too big to fail" even bigger, and the taxpayer getting an otherwise rotten deal for their investment. We even heard a Republic senator asking how fast they could blow the money.
NONE of this could have happened without the fawning complicity of Nancy Pelosi, who infamously said it was Bush's proposal, INSTEAD of coming forward with a robust alternative plan. Just like Bush, she believes she is immune, she believes she is unaccountable, and shame on us if we don't do everything we can to defeat her this Tuesday, and replace her with Cindy Sheehan.

La diatomea Gyrosigma tuerce sus dos extremos afilados y transformándose en hélice parece que quiso empezar a girar tal y como cuenta su nombre ς -sigma-. Todas las especies de Gyrosigma tienen esta característica y en su doble estuche de cristal, los frústulos, llevan labrados unos surcos finos y paralelos que van de punta a punta, además de otros más delicados y más juntos que cortan a éstos perpendicularmente y que se ven con dificultad.
Gyrosigma attenuatum exhibe su gran tamaño y estos finos surcos que en ella se ven bien esculpidos. Se diferencia así de su hermana más parecida, algo pequeña que ella, Gyrosigma acuminatum, en la que apenas se distingue ninguna ornamentación en los ejemplares vivos por quedar enmascarados por el verde y dorado color de los cloroplastos que le dan la vida desde su interior.
Gyrosigma attenuatum y Gyrosigma acuminatum son dos hermanas relativamente comunes, aunque no muy frecuentes. Viven sobre las piedras de los arroyos, cerca de la orilla para recibir la luz del sol. A diferencia de otras diatomeas no son nadadoras, se deslizan en sinuosos movimientos sobre la superficie del fondo. La más pequeña, parece ser más frecuente que ésta y ambas suelen tener dificultades para vivir en aguas contaminadas.
Gyrosigma attenuatum es otra de esas pequeñas joyas del agua, con cascarón de cuarzo que son las diatomeas. La imagen de hoy ha sido tomada en unas muestras procedentes del Pozo de San Antonio, en la localidad riojana de Préjano. La fotografía se ha realizado a 400 aumentos empleando la técnica de contraste de interferencia.

Bap Colognian (Kölsch) pronunciation: [/bap/] is a German rock group. With ten albums reaching the number one in the German record charts, Bap is one of the most successful rock acts in their home country.
Nearly all of Bap's lyrics are written in Kölsch, the dialect of Cologne, or more precisely in a Kölsch-influenced derivation of Eifelplatt, a regional variant of the Ripuarian language spoken in the nearby rural Eifel. Niedecken's most prominent musical influences, especially early in his career, were Bob Dylan, the Kinks, Bruce Springsteen, the Rolling Stones, and Wolfgang Ambros.
The group was founded in 1976 under the name Wolfgang Niedecken's Bap in Cologne, Germany by Wolfgang Niedecken and Hans Heres. In 1981 they released their most famous song "Verdamp lang her" (English: Damn long time ago), in which Niedecken describes regrets he has about his relationship with his then recently deceased father. The band's name "BAP" derived from "BAPP", both, a play-on-words on the Kölsch word "Papp" (related to the German word Papa for dad), but pronounced differently, and Niedecken's then-times nickname. BAP ist eine Kölschrockband um den Frontmann Wolfgang Niedecken und gilt als eine der erfolgreichsten Rockbands deutscher Sprache. Von den 23 BAP-Alben erreichten 19 die Top 10, zehn wurden sogar Nummer 1 der Charts.Die Gruppe um Sänger und Songschreiber Wolfgang Niedecken besteht seit 1976. Die Band traf sich zu Beginn in wechselnder Besetzung, um „einen Kasten Bier leerzuproben“.[1] Der erste Auftritt erfolgte 1977 im Mariensaal in Köln-Nippes mit zwei akustischen Gitarren (Wolfgang Niedecken, Hans Heres) und Perkussion (Afro Bauermann). Das erste Album, Wolfgang Niedecken's BAP rockt andere kölsche Leeder. erschien 1979, die Band bestand zu dieser Zeit aus Wolfgang Niedecken, Hans „Honçe“ Heres, Wolfgang „Gröön“ Klever, Manfred „Schmal“ Boecker, Wolfgang „Wolli“ Boecker und Bernd Odenthal. Die zweite LP Affjetaut folgte 1980, wie die Debüt-Platte noch unter der Bezeichnung „Wolfgang Niedeckens BAP“, da Niedecken sich bereits als Solo-Künstler mit Gitarre und Mundharmonika als „Bob Dylan der Südstadt“ einen Namen gemacht hatte; beide Platten wurden noch beim Kölner Independent-Label Eigelstein Musikproduktion veröffentlicht.
Der Bandname BAP entstand aus Niedeckens Spitzname, der seinen Vater so nannte. Diese Aussprache entstammt der Herkunft der Familie aus Rheinland-Pfalz, und weil sie vom kölschen „Pap“ abwich, entstand so Niedeckens Spitzname.[2] Als ein erster Auftritt geplant wurde, für den mit einem Plakat geworben werden sollte, musste ein Bandname erdacht werden. Hans Heres schlug dem Veranstalter vor, „BAPP“ zu nehmen.[3] Da sich die Bandmitglieder aber einig waren, dass „BAPP“ – mit zwei „P“ geschrieben – auf der Bassdrum nicht gut aussah, wurde einfach ein „P“ gestrichen.[4]
Der musikalische und inhaltliche Stil der BAP-Songs wird wesentlich von Bob Dylan, den Kinks und den Rolling Stones geprägt. Auch Bruce Springsteen, mit dem Sänger Wolfgang Niedecken eine persönliche Freundschaft verbindet, gilt als wichtiger Orientierungspunkt für BAP. Verschiedene BAP-Lieder, vor allem melancholische (z. B. Helfe kann dir keiner, Paar Daach fröher) zeigen in den Arrangements und der Stimmung deutliche Ähnlichkeiten mit Stücken von Wolfgang Ambros, etwa von dessen Album 19 Class A Numbers. Die Texte beschäftigen sich oft mit gesellschaftlichen oder persönlichen Problemen.1979 fanden unter dem Bandnamen "Wolfgang Niedeckens BAP" erste Auftritte außerhalb von Köln und der näheren Umgebung statt; so zum Beispiel auch anlässlich der Bundesgartenschau 1979 in der Bonner Rheinaue.[5] Im Mai 1982 machte BAP ihre erste professionell organisierte Deutschlandtournee. Im Mittelpunkt standen Songs des aktuellen Albums Für Usszeschnigge, das 1981 als erstes beim Major-Label EMI-Electrola erschienen war. Für den Wechsel von Eigelstein zur EMI mussten BAP in der lokalen Kultur-Szene viel Kritik einstecken, wurden jedoch mit Platz 1 in den deutschen Album-Charts prompt belohnt.
Im Sommer 1982 folgten verschiedene Auftritte im Rahmen von Großveranstaltungen und Fernsehproduktionen: Rockpop In Concert für das ZDF in der Dortmunder Westfalenhalle 1, Demonstration gegen die Nachrüstung der NATO am 10. Juni 1982 (Zehnter Juni) auf den Bonner Rheinwiesen, Vorprogramm der Rolling Stones am 4. und 5. Juli 1982 im Müngersdorfer Stadion in Köln und als erste deutsche Band bei einem Festival des WDR-Rockpalast am 28. August 1982 auf der Loreley-Freilichtbühne.
Nach Erscheinen des vierten Albums Vun drinne noh drusse war die Band zwischen Oktober 1982 und Oktober 1983 sieben Monate lang unterwegs. Neben Deutschland standen auch Konzerte in Österreich, der Schweiz und den Benelux-Ländern auf dem Programm. Insgesamt wurden etwa 130 Auftritte gespielt. Die Tournee endete mit einem Konzert im Kölner „Stollwerck“. Das vom Abriss bedrohte Bürgerhaus Stollwerck erhielt die Einnahmen dieses Konzerts zur Finanzierung seiner weiteren Arbeit. Am 28. Mai 1983 spielte BAP auf einem Festival im niedersächsischen Schüttorf im Vorprogramm von Rod Stewart und am 22. Oktober 1983 auf einer weiteren Großdemonstration gegen die NATO-Nachrüstung im Bonner Hofgarten.
Für den Januar 1984 war – nach langen Verhandlungen mit der staatlichen Künstleragentur – eine Tournee mit 14 Konzerten in 13 Städten der DDR geplant. Im Vorfeld der Tour zeichnete das DDR-Fernsehen ein Interview mit Wolfgang Niedecken inklusive zweier Unplugged-Versionen von BAP-Liedern auf. Dieses wurde später jedoch sinnentstellend verkürzt gesendet. So entschloss sich Niedecken, einige politische Statements, die der Band wichtig waren, in einem eigenen Lied darzustellen. Es wurde als Deshalv spill’ mer he betitelt und erstmals auf dem letzten „West-Konzert“ vor der Tour in Wolfsburg gespielt. Als die Band bereits in Ost-Berlin im Hotel Unter den Linden war, gab es am Vorabend des ersten Konzerts heftige Auseinandersetzungen über dieses Lied mit der DDR-Seite. Als die Band sich weigerte, es von der Setlist zu nehmen, kam es zum Eklat. Die Tournee wurde abgebrochen, bevor das erste Konzert auf dem Boden der DDR gespielt werden konnte. In einer Sendung des DDR-Fernsehens war die Ansage eines Moderators während eines Konzerts im Berliner Palast der Republik zu sehen, zu dem BAP geladen war. Er nannte als Begründung ihrer Absage, die Band wolle „nicht unter dem Symbol der weißen Taube auf blauem Grund auftreten“.[6]
Die Tournee zum Album Zwesche Salzjebäck un Bier begann am 15. und 16. Juni 1984 mit zwei Konzerten im Archäologischen Park in Xanten. Sie wurden vom ZDF aufgezeichnet und später in einer Zusammenfassung gesendet. Die Tour dauerte bis zum Februar 1985 und übertraf von der Zuschauerresonanz her noch die von 1982/83.
Am 2. März 1986 begann in Lohmar bei Köln die Tournee Ahl Männer, aalglatt. BAP spielte zunächst einige Konzerte im ländlichen Raum, bevor die Band am 15. März 1986 in der Essener Grugahalle bei der 17. und letzten Rocknacht des WDR-Rockpalast auftrat. Die Rocknacht, bei der auch Jackson Browne und Big Country auftraten, wurde wie schon das Festival auf der Loreley 1982 via Eurovision von vielen europäischen Radio- und Fernsehstationen ausgestrahlt.
Von April bis Juli folgten zahlreiche weitere Konzerte. Wegen der anhaltenden Popularität wurden teilweise auch größere Hallen ausgewählt. So fanden die „Heimspiele“ der Kölner Band erstmals in der bis zu 8000 Zuschauer fassenden Kölner Sporthalle, der damals größten Veranstaltungshalle der Domstadt, statt. Bei dieser Tournee gab es mit Christian Schneider erstmals auf einer Tournee einen Gastmusiker, weil die zum Teil sehr komplexen Keyboard-Arrangements des neuen Albums live mit nur einem Keyboarder nicht zu realisieren gewesen wären. Schneider spielte neben Keyboards bei einigen Stücken auch Saxophon. Den letzten Auftritt der Tour absolvierte die Band am 26. Juli 1986; genau drei Monate nach der Atomreaktor-Katastrophe von Tschernobyl auf dem legendären Anti-WAAhnsinns-Festival gegen die Wiederaufbereitungsanlage von Wackersdorf in Burglengenfeld.
Nach Ende der Tournee 1986 legte BAP eine kreative Pause ein (u. a. bedingt durch bandinterne, künstlerische Meinungsverschiedenheiten), die Wolfgang Niedecken zur Veröffentlichung seines Albums Schlagzeiten und zu einigen Solo-Konzerten nutzte. BAP stand erst im September 1987 bei zwei Festivals wieder auf der Bühne, um sich auf eine Tournee durch China vorzubereiten. Diese Tournee ist im Buch BAP övver China dokumentiert.
Das Album Da Capo wurde von Oktober bis Dezember 1988 zunächst bei einer ausgedehnten Hallentournee präsentiert. Bei dieser Tournee legte BAP die Scheu vor den ganz großen Konzertarenen endgültig ab. So standen auch die Frankfurter Festhalle und die Münchener Olympiahalle auf dem Programm. Im Sommer 1989 folgten weitere Konzerte, teilweise auch im Rahmen von Festivals gemeinsam mit Joe Cocker. Eines dieser Events fand in der Berliner Waldbühne statt.
Auch die Tournee 1991 wurde in mehreren Teilen durchgeführt. Kurz nach der Vollendung der deutschen Einheit standen im Januar 1991 zunächst die ersten Konzerte der Band auf dem Gebiet der ehemaligen DDR auf dem Programm. Anschließend ging BAP in Westdeutschland auf Club-Tour und absolvierte eine Reihe von Auftritten in beschaulichem Rahmen, zumeist in kleinen Hallen. Das Konzert im Kölner E-Werk wurde aufgezeichnet und später auf dem Album Live – Affrocke veröffentlicht.
Im Mai und Juni 1991 folgte eine Tournee ausschließlich durch die größten deutschen Konzerthallen und bei verschiedenen Open-Air-Festivals. Als Gast bei den Konzerten trat Julian Dawson auf. Am 26. Januar 1994 startete die Tournee zum im August 1993 erschienenen Album Pik Sibbe. Nach wie vor war die Nachfrage in der BAP-Hochburg Köln groß, in einigen anderen Städten blieben die Zuschauerzahlen etwas hinter den Erwartungen zurück. Die folgende Tournee zum Album Amerika begann im November 1996. Der Tourneestart in Koblenz wurde für den WDR-Rockpalast mitgeschnitten und später im Fernsehen ausgestrahlt.
Mit dem Ausstieg von Bassist Steve Borg und von Gründungsmitglied Manfred „Schmal“ Boecker verließen zwei Musiker die Band, die BAP über viele Jahre mitgeprägt haben. 1999 stieg auch Gitarrist Klaus „Major“ Heuser aus, der während 19 Jahren Bandmitgliedschaft die überwiegende Zahl der Lieder komponierte. Außerdem verließ Keyboarder Alexander „Effendi“ Büchel die Firma BAP. Diese Abgänge und die darauf folgenden Neubesetzungen veränderten den musikalischen Ausdruck von BAP nachhaltig.
Zu den Gründen für den Ausstieg von Major sagt Wolfgang Niedecken rückblickend im März 2011:
„Der Major ist ein toller Gitarrist. Aber er wollte, dass BAP international ausgerichteten Radio-Pop spielt. Ich wollte beim Kölsch-Rock bleiben. Beide Positionen waren nicht vereinbar. Ich bin ihm dankbar, dass er selbst gegangen ist. Ich hätte ihn nämlich nie rausgeschmissen.[7]“
Als Neuzugang an den Keyboards stieg Michael Nass bei BAP ein, der zuvor in den 1980er Jahren in der DDR-Musikszene musikalisch sehr aktiv war, u. a. bei P 16 und später in Liselotte Rezniceks Frauenband Mona Lise. Gitarrist wurde Helmut Krumminga. Im Sommer 2001 gab BAP vor der eigentlichen Aff un zo-Tour ab Herbst 2001 zwei Vorabkonzerte, darunter das „Konzert an der toten Brücke“ (Soda-Brücke) in Euskirchen, das auch vom WDR aufgezeichnet und wenige Tage später in der Sendung Rockpalast gesendet wurde. Das Album selbst stieg wie der Vorgänger Tonfilm auf Platz 1 in die deutschen Charts ein.
Im Januar 2006 war die Kölnarena zwar anlässlich des Starts der Jubiläumskonzerte zum 30-jährigen Bestehen der Band mit 25.000 Zuschauern an zwei aufeinander folgenden Tagen fast ausverkauft. Bei anderen Auftritten hatte man sich von vorneherein durch die Wahl kleinerer Konzertorte angepasst.
Auch das im Mai 2008 erschienene Album Radio Pandora stieg auf Platz 1 in die deutschen Charts ein. Im Winter 2008 startete die Tournee dazu, am 2. Weihnachtstag gab es das Heimspiel in der Köln-Arena (Lanxess-Arena); sie dauerte (mit Unterbrechungen) bis zum Sommer 2009, wobei die Band von Anne de Wolff (Violine, Bratsche, Gesang) und teilweise von Rhani Krija (Percussion) begleitet wurde.
Für November 2011 war der Start der aktuellsten Tournee geplant. Aufgrund einer schweren Erkrankung Wolfgang Niedeckens wurde der Start der Tour auf Anfang Mai 2012 verschoben.[8][9][10]
Auslandsauftritte [Bearbeiten]
BAP ist im Laufe der bisher 35-jährigen Bandgeschichte in vielen Ländern der Welt aufgetreten. Nachdem sich die Bandmitglieder anfangs kaum vorstellen konnten, dass ihre kölschen Texte außerhalb des Rheinlandes verstanden würden, durften sie erleben, dass ihre Platten weit darüber hinaus gekauft wurden. Tourneen waren dadurch auch im Ausland möglich.
Die ersten Auftritte außerhalb Deutschlands waren im Dezember 1982 in der Schweiz (Basel und St.Gallen)[11] und bis Mitte der 1980er Jahre in Österreich, Luxemburg, Belgien und Dänemark (Roskilde-Festival). Seitdem gehören Auftritte in diesen Nachbarländern zum Bestandteil jeder Tournee.
Spätere Fernreisen wurden zumeist als Begleitung zu künstlerischen oder politischen Themen organisiert; häufig war nicht die komplette Gruppe unterwegs; manchmal auch nur Wolfgang Niedecken alleine oder in Begleitung von Musikern seiner Solo-Projekte:
Mit einigen Gästen tourte BAP im Oktober 1987 vier Wochen durch China. Acht Auftritte wurden in Peking, Shanghai und Kanton absolviert.[12]
Wolfgang Niedecken spielte 1987 auf Einladung der Kulturstiftung Casa de los tres Mundos (ein Projekt des Schauspielers Dietmar Schönherr, des Produzenten Peter Reichelt und des Kulturministers Ernesto Cardenal) mit seiner Complizen-Band in Nicaragua.
In ähnlicher Zusammensetzung spielten Wolfgang Niedecken & Complizen 1988 in Mosambik eine kleine Tour.
Die politischen Veränderungen in der Sowjetunion unter Gorbatschow machten es möglich, dass BAP im Mai 1989 je drei Konzerte in Moskau und Wolgograd gab.[13] Dort kamen die Musiker auch mit Fans aus der DDR ins Gespräch. Nachdem die BAP-Tour durch Ostdeutschland 1984 abgesagt wurde, war der Umweg über die UdSSR die einzige Möglichkeit, als DDR-Bürger mit der Band zu sprechen.

I used six Satellite Modules (high power RGB LED arrays), six ShiftBars (three channel LED controllers), a Seeeduino, and a ShiftBrite Shield to build a New Year's ball for our own mini Times Square event. The ball was a "sparkleball" made of about 120 16oz plastic cups hot-glued together. We threw a rope over a branch and lowered it at midnight...it lit up the whole yard!

"There's nothing good about drug use. We know it. It destroys individuals. It destroys families. Drug use destroys societies. Drug use, some might say, is destroying this country. And we have laws against selling drugs, pushing drugs, using drugs, importing drugs. And the laws are good because we know what happens to people in societies and neighborhoods which become consumed by them. And so if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up."
Unless of course, it's you, right?
Limbaugh, prosecutors can declare victory in deal
By BRIAN SKOLOFF
Associated Press Writer
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Three years under suspicion, Rush Limbaugh can finally put behind him an investigation that exposed the conservative commentator's own drug problems and thrust him into the spotlight for the very things he derided in others on his radio talk show.
None of it affected his ratings for a show that airs weekdays on nearly 600 stations and draws about 20 million listeners a week, Limbaugh spokesman Tony Knight said.
"This investigation didn't have any impact on his audience or on his advertising," Knight said Saturday, a day after defense attorneys announced a deal with prosecutors that will see a single prescription fraud charge dismissed after 18 months if Limbaugh stays drug free and doesn't violate any laws.
Prosecutors launched their investigation in 2003 after Limbaugh's housekeeper alleged he abused OxyContin and other painkillers. Limbaugh entered a five-week rehabilitation program and blamed his addiction on severe back pain.
Authorities seized Limbaugh's medical records and learned he received about 2,000 painkillers, prescribed by four doctors in six months. The investigation had been in limbo as prosecutors and defense attorney Roy Black battled over whether the records were properly seized in accordance with Limbaugh's constitutional right to privacy.
The arguments failed at the circuit and appellate court levels, and the Florida Supreme Court declined to hear the case.
But is the deal a victory for Limbaugh?
"This is a dismissal of the charge ... representing, in affect, a win for the defense," said Kendall Coffey, a former U.S. attorney and prominent Miami defense lawyer.
"Having said that, I wouldn't call this case a major defeat for the prosecution. They fought and won an important legal point in establishing that you can use a search warrant in Florida to secure medical records," Coffey added. "That's an important precedent for prosecutors around the state. This could be the rare situation where both sides made a deal and can walk away feeling some satisfaction."
Michael Seigel, a University of Florida law professor and former federal prosecutor, said the deal also allows Limbaugh "to save face."
"Given the high profile nature of this, it's an indication to me that if Rush Limbaugh thought he could win the case and be vindicated, he would go to trial," Seigel said. "He's not asking for his day in court."
Meanwhile, the political blogosphere was alight with banter about Limbaugh's case.
"Raise yourself a cold one at the end of an interesting week. Rush Limbaugh ... was arrested on a fraud charge," wrote one person on the liberal site The Left Coaster.
A blogger on The Conservative Trail Head referred to the "ridiculous charges," calling the case "bogus."
The 55-year-old commentator surrendered Friday at the Palm Beach County jail on a warrant charging that in 2003, Limbaugh withheld information from a practitioner from whom he sought a prescription that he had received medications from another practitioner within 30 days, in violation of Florida law.
The charge is commonly referred to as doctor shopping and is a third-degree felony that could carry a sentence of up to 5 years in prison.
Limbaugh was booked, photographed and fingerprinted before posting $3,000 bail and being released.
Under the terms of the deal called a pretrial diversion, to be filed Monday, Limbaugh will be cleared of the charge if he stays clean for 18 months, doesn't violate any laws, pays $30,000 to defray the cost of the investigation and continues therapy and drug testing, according to Black, who called the charge a formality to bring closure to the case.
Black said Limbaugh has been drug free for 2 1/2 years.
Limbaugh has publicly acknowledged being addicted to pain medication but has steadfastly maintained his innocence.
Mike Edmondson, spokesman for the Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office, said the pending deal is typical in such cases.
"It's really standard for someone who is dealing with their addiction," Edmondson said Saturday. "It's a diversion specifically for first time offenders with no prior criminal history or arrest."
Before his own problems became public, Limbaugh had lambasted drug users and often made the case that drug crimes deserve punishment, once saying on his short-lived television show in 1995 that users "ought to be accused and they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up."
"There's always a challenge of trying to treat a celebrity like a Joe Schmo, but this a Joe Schmo outcome," Coffey said.
Ethan Nadelmann, director of the nonprofit New York-based Drug Policy Alliance, which promotes treatment instead of incarceration for nonviolent drug offenders, applauded the resolution.
"Maybe this will soften up Rush Limbaugh a bit when he talks on the radio about the millions of other Americans who are suffering from drug problems," Nadelmann said.

ENGLISH
Garraf is a place little documented, and for that reason it is surrounded by mystery and legend.
Jafra, a deserted and ruinous town, is named already in 1139, and in 1332 a castle is mentioned. Apparently in 14th century all the inhabitants died due to the Black Death epidemic, although shortly after it became to populate, and in 1432 it became to open the parish. In 17th century the barons of Jafra named a mayor (1683) and recovered the church, dedicated to Santa Maria (1688). In 1819 Jafra lost its last mayor and it joined to the town of Olivella (the parishes already were tie). The culture of the vine made increase the population during 17th century. In 1820 there were 83 inhabitants, and in 1850 the church was recovered again. The plague of phylloxera of end of 19th century caused the desertion of lands, and in 1960 they were left only 19 inhabitants, scattered by farms of the environs.
At the moment only it is left still on the church (in restoration), the walls of rectory and the house of the barons, and those of the house of the servants. About the cemetery only left some walls and two great cypresses, and by the environs it has scattered ruins of which they could be other small houses.
When I arrived at the entrance of the church I was a little rare, with a discomfort sensation, of not feeling very at ease in this place, so I did not entertain myself in making many photos. I do not know why, but I had desire to go away there. And it was later, already in house, when documenting about the place I found the explanation of those strange sensations.
Jafra is considered damn town, and it is object of investigation by different parapsychology studious groups. It comments that at night lights have been seen roam by the zone, and in the house of the servants, called “the enchanted house” have been poltergeist phenomena, like blows, sudden changes of temperature, voices and until some appearance. Here they have been possible to record psychophonies. Also it comments that years ago a boy fell into a well near the cemetery and died drowned, and since it have been heard moans and it has been believed to see a figure roam near the cypresses of the cemetery.
I do not believe in these things, but the strange sensations that I experimented there are well certain...

CASTELLANO
El Garraf es un lugar poco documentado, y por ello está rodeado de misterio y de leyenda.
Jafra, un poblado abandonado y ruinoso, ya es nombrado en el año 1139, y en 1332 se menciona un castillo. Por lo visto en el siglo XIV murieron todos los habitantes debido a la epidemia de peste, aunque poco después se volvió a poblar, y en 1432 se volvió a abrir la parroquia. En el siglo XVII los barones de Jafra nombraron un alcalde (1683) y restauraron la iglesia, dedicada a Santa María (1688). En 1819 Jafra perdió su último alcalde y se incorporó al pueblo de Olivella (las parroquias ya estaban vinculadas). El cultivo de la viña hizo aumentar la población durante el siglo XVII. En 1820 había 83 habitantes, y en 1850 se restauró nuevamente la iglesia. La plaga de filoxera de finales del siglo XIX provocó el abandono de las tierras, y en 1960 quedaban tan solo 19 habitantes, diseminados por las masías de los alrededores.
Actualmente sólo queda en pie la iglesia (en restauración), los muros de la rectoría y de la casa de los barones, y los de la casa de los criados. Del cementerio apenas quedan unos muros y dos grandes cipreses, y por los alrededores hay diseminadas ruinas de lo que podrían ser otras casas pequeñas.
Cuando llegué a la entrada de la iglesia me encontré un poco raro, con una sensación de incomodidad, de no sentirme muy a gusto en el lugar, así que no me entretuve en hacer muchas fotos. No sé por qué, pero tenía ganas de marchar de allí. Y fue después, ya en casa, cuando documentándome acerca del lugar encontré la explicación a esas extrañas sensaciones.
Por lo visto Jafra es considerado un pueblo maldito, y es objeto de investigación por parte de diferentes grupos estudiosos de parapsicología. Se comenta que de noche se han visto luces merodear por la zona, y en la casa de los criados, llamada "la casa encantada" ha habido fenómenos poltergeist, como golpes, cambios súbitos de temperatura, voces y hasta alguna aparición. En ella se han podido grabar psicofonías. También se comenta que hace años cayó un niño a un pozo cerca del cementerio y murió ahogado, y desde entonces se han oído lamentos y se ha creído ver una figura merodear cerca de los cipreses del cementerio.
Yo no creo en estas cosas, pero las extrañas sensaciones que experimenté allí son bien ciertas...

Die Perlhyazinthe gehört zur Familie der Liliengewächse und ist eine früh blühende (auch "Frühblüher" genannte) Zwiebelpflanze, die eine Wuchshöhe von bis zu 20 cm erreicht. Die glockenförmigen Blüten sitzen so dicht beieinander, dass der Blütenstand einem Kolben gleicht. Die Blütenfarbe ist meistens marineblau.
°°°°°°°°°°°
Die Perlhyazinthe ist keine einheimische Pflanze. Über 30 verschiedene Arten von ihr sind bekannt. Sie kommen hauptsächlich im Mittelmeerraum vor.
Sie lieben Halbschatten, vertragen aber auch volle Sonne. An den Boden stellen sie kaum Ansprüche, nur zu nass darf er nicht sein.
Die Perlhyazinthe war Anfang des letzten Jahrhunderts ein verbreitetes Unkraut in Weinbergen.
Durch die Bewirtschaftung der Weinberge ist sie heutzutage selten geworden und steht unter Naturschutz.
Traubenhyazinthen zählen zu den Giftpflanzen!
Beim Hantieren mit diesem Gewächs sollten Sie jedoch Vorsicht walten lassen, da Hyazinthen giftig sind und sogar Hautreizungen verursachen können, wenn man sie berührt.
