Como os comentaba el lunes aquí os presento el interior de este local que es una pasada, la conjugación de maderas con formas elípticas y trapezoidales a diferentes niveles de la entrada que se prolonga por la barra, los ángulos rectos de los anchos pilares que hacen de separación de ambientes entre la zona de sofás, tapizados en platas y grises metalizados alucinantes, esos techos con luz indirecta de diversas formas a diferentes alturas y ese suelo....¡¡que suelo!!, es una maravilla, marca todo el perímetro y los centros de cada zona en franjas de tres colores, cada unión entre colores está separada por metal de unos 2/3 mm. que lo hacen único y diferente...

y como no ayuda el estuco en blanco roto y gris oscuro -casi negro- en esas paredes límpias...

Os lo recomendamos, os encantará.

El resto, como la zona de barra con la cristalería fabulosamente iluminada y el WC, ya los conocéis....jijiji...

La suave música, lo enrollado del personal y su emplazamiento en la Judería, junto al Museo Picasso, redondean el conjunto...

 

Un Millón de Gracias a Todos por ser tan Fabulosos..

Bzos!

'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.

I showed these shots to my dad and he chose this one as his favorite because he said it had some mystery to it because at first glance, you're not entirely sure what you're looking at. I don't know about all that, but I'll go with it. I'm still holding up Andy's and my departure. Whoops. :)

 

These were taken at the site of the Wells Brothers Foundry (founded in 1832, torn down in 1910) in Milford, Michigan. I found this by chance. I was driving home from work and got stuck behind a long string of cars waiting for somebody to turn left. I looked out the left side of my car (when I am normally looking at the park on the right side of the road) and saw this! I immediately pulled off and jumped out to take pictures. I really like how these turned out.

 

Ok, now this really is a post and run. If I don't finish this up now, I'm going to get into trouble. Everybody have a great evening! I'll catch up on your streams later tonight or tomorrow. :)

It's still frozen solid here in North Georgia, so anything green and sunny looks good to me today. Here are more shots from the Italian Garden at Blenheim Palace near Oxford.

 

We spent a full day here in early July, 2008. Blenheim Palace makes a relatively easy day trip or even half-day trip from Oxford, with frequent public buses to Woodstock stopping right at the gates. We only saw a fraction of the vast parkland and gardens. The tour of the palace itself was well done and very informative.

 

The full Wikipedia entry is very well done: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blenheim_Palace

 

Here is a quote from the introduction:

 

Blenheim Palace is a large and monumental country house situated in Woodstock, Oxfordshire, England. It is the only non-episcopal country house in England to hold the title "palace". The Palace, one of England's largest houses, was built between 1705 and circa 1724. It was recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987.

Its construction was originally intended to be a gift to John Churchill, the 1st Duke of Marlborough from a grateful nation in return for military triumph against the French and Bavarians. However, it soon became the subject of political infighting, which led to Marlborough's exile, the fall from power of his Duchess, and irreparable damage to the reputation of the architect Sir John Vanbrugh. Designed in the rare, and short-lived, English baroque style, architectural appreciation of the palace is as divided today as it was in the 1720s.[1] It is unique in its combined usage as a family home, mausoleum and national monument. The palace is also notable as the birthplace and ancestral home of Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill.

The plaque above the massive East gate gives a sanitised history of the palace's construction, reading:

"Under the auspices of a munificent sovereign this house was built for John Duke of Marlborough and his Duchess Sarah, by Sir J Vanbrugh between the years 1705 and 1722. And the Royal Manor of Woodstock, together with a grant of £240,000 towards the building of Blenheim, was given by Her Majesty Queen Anne and confirmed by act of Parliament."

The truth is that the building of the palace was a minefield of political intrigue, with scheming on a Machiavellian scale by Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough. Following the palace's completion, it has been the home of the Churchill family for the last 300 years, and various members of the family have in that period wrought various changes, in the interiors, park and gardens, some for the better, others for the worse. At the end of the 19th century, the palace and the Churchills were saved from ruin by an American marriage. Thus, the exterior of the palace remains in good repair and exactly as completed.

A closer look at a fan reveals that it has the form of a woman’s body. According to legend, the Goryeo monk

who made the first hapjukson fan was in love with a woman that he, as a Buddhist priest, could never have. He strived to be

faithful in his quest for the absolute truth and for nirvana but could not succeed because of his passionate emotions

towards her. In the end, the monk decided to make a fan in the shape of the woman of his heart. He made the ribs of the

fan with carefully cut bamboo strips and covered them with mulberry paper, which had a poem written on it. When he folded

the fan, the figure of the beautiful woman appeared before his eyes, complete with the head

(the part held with the hands) ornamented with a hairpin (a metal piece joining the bamboo strips),

bosom (the gently protruding part under the head) and the loose-fitting skirt that spreads

beautifully when the fan is unfolded. A bat design inscribed on the bamboo ribs symbolizes

the secret meeting of a man and woman at night, like this nocturnal animal, while the

design of a chrysanthemum represents a woman's fidelity, like an elegant

chrysanthemum opening its graceful fragrant blossom despite the late autumn frost.

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.

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.

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.

This is totally not what I was planning to do. I wanted to do the "My Face Is My Canvas" emulation for this week before it was over, but the design I drew on my face sucked ass. I didn't even want to take a single picture of it. So I got a wipey and was wiping it off but making a bigger mess, so I just figured what the hell. I'll go with it. . .

And I seriously don't understand you people. lol I've gotten more views then I have ever had in the last 3 days, but the least amount of comments. hahaha. THAT is why I think there is a glitch.

 

Oh and I was talking to Kat last night (super early this morning) and we dicided that we should both do something with make-up/painted faces. lol I'm on my over to see what she has done.

Well I have been late posting up my pictures. I went to Alabama now Im in Florida, I got my car back, but my break lights don't work, I am running around looking for a break switch, and all at the same time it feels like the world is closing in on me. I spoke to my friend Eulice today and she shared what was going on in her life.. I have to admit life was never meant to be easy. Her challenges and struggles are nothing compared to mine, When she told me what she is going through, I quickly snapped out of it and realized that I'm not struggling that bad. It's because of friends and people like her that allow me to grow and become stronger not only with faith but with life in general.

 

I have seen plenty of shower shots, but I had to take this today. Everytime I take a shower, Its a new refreshing, I like to sing in the shower and ponder on what is to come in life...this shot is me pondering...on the How's and When's in life...but Thank God...for another day...

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.

Each display features two FireWire 400 ports and two USB 2.0 ports, making attachment of desktop peripherals, such as iSight, iPod, digital and still cameras, hard drives, printers and scanners, even more accessible and convenient. Taking advantage of the much thinner and lighter footprint of an LCD, the new displays support the VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) mounting interface standard. Customers with the optional Cinema Display VESA Mount Adapter kit gain the flexibility to mount their display in locations most appropriate for their work environment.

 

The Cinema HD features a single cable design with elegant breakout for the USB 2.0, FireWire 400 and a pure digital connection using the industry standard Digital Video Interface (DVI) interface. The DVI connection allows for a direct pure-digital connection.

First try, first published and a first win in a comp :)

Now thats what you call a beginners luck!

 

Digital Camera Magazine - Sept Issue

 

Normally I don't bother sending my pics to any places but the reasons behind submitting my photo to this magazine was that I needed to have a photo published somewhere so that it would be favourable to pass the interview to join the photography course at TAFE. (TAFE = like a college)

 

Never thought I'd win anything so it's a huge surprise!

 

... and a little more on TAFE:

 

For anyone who wanted to enrol in photography course at TAFE, you have to present your portfolio and go through an interview where you'll get questions like "Do you work or have worked in photography industry?" or "Have you ever had your photo published?" which unfortunately I had answer "no" and had me wondering why I needed experience since I wanted to learn from the beginning.

 

Anyways, I found out the reason behind the strict student selection was due to limited seat as their photography course is so popular. On my initial application, I was not offered a spot but now with this, I may have a better luck at the next year's interview. :)

 

Thanks DC mag for the awesome Manfrotto tripod! It's an awesome trophy!

Tragedy at Six Bells

By David John Withers, Brynmawr

 

My father worked in the colliery all his life and I sort of followed him into the pit. I went to work in Six Bells Colliery at 17 years of age.

 

When I first went on the 0.18 coal face as a collier's helper I was introduced to my 'batty' Reggie Poe who showed me the tools we were using and two chalk marks 15 yards apart on the coal face. This was our working place, 15 yards long by 4-foot-6 deep by 5 feet high. I thought 'bloody hell' - it seemed a huge amount of coal to shift.

 

Although the other coal faces in our district were more modern with hydraulic roof supports, we were still using the older friction posts and linked bars. I've still got the scars where one of the bars came down on me!

 

We had quite a few problems with gas on the 0.18 coal face and the dust was killing. At times the conveyor would start up and you couldn't see each other until the dust settled down.

 

As boys we often refused to go onto the face because of the amounts of dust there - being youngsters we stuck together even when the officials threatened to send us home. It wasn't much of a threat as I was only earning about £6 odd!

 

I had been working about two years when the explosion happened. I was working on the 0.18 face at Six Bells on the 'turning shift' and arrived at the colliery on the bus to see the place in turmoil and heard that an explosion had happened. As the explosion had occurred at our place of work, we offered to go down and help as we knew the place, but the Rescue Brigade had it under control and wouldn't let us go down.

 

It's hard to say my feelings about it all. We knew there was gas there and they said a spark had set it off. I had mostly enjoyed the colliery up to then. I remember four of the men who died - I used to give them snuff with powdered bark mixed in as a joke - there was a good spirit amongst the men at the pit.

 

Once the explosion had happened it put me off. I finished and I put my notice in soon after. I was too young to lose my life in the colliery. If I had been working the day shift that week it would have been me. The explosion opened my eyes to the dangers and I went into the construction industry instead - I was always good with my hands. The pit made me grow up.

         

The deaths of 45 men killed 50 years ago in a colliery explosion have been remembered with a service at the site.

 

A gas explosion ripped through the Six Bells colliery near Abertillery, Blaenau Gwent at 10.45am on 28 June 1960.

 

The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, led a service of remembrance at the site.

 

He also unveiled a memorial to the tragedy, a 20m high sculpture of a miner by Sebastian Boyesen.

One of the participants at a model call run by Lithuania's leading modeling agency in Vilnius, Lithuania.

 

On a cold, wet and windy afternoon in downtown Vilnius I took shelter in a hotel only to discover that the first floor mezzanaine was being used by a modeling agency to find new talent. I managed to take a number of portraits before being asked to leave. If you've seen the movie Wedding Crashers, what happened was very similar except at a mdoeling event :p

 

Beauty is a characteristic of a person, place, object or idea that provides a perceptual experience of pleasure, meaning or satisfaction. As a cultural creation, beauty has been extremely commercialized - something which is what expect she managed to achieve!

- Si vous venez à Montréal, c'est garanti que vous allez venir ici car Place Ville-Marie est un édifice renommé au coeur du centre-ville de Montréal. La photo fut prise en descendant vers la rue.

 

Place Ville-Marie comprises two short buildings, a tall cross-shaped one as you see here and a beautiful shopping plaza underneath this raised area. As you can see behind the sculpture, there are entrances covered by huge skylights. The sculpture is in a fountain and there are grassed squares with trees. There is of course an underground parking lot. The Place Ville-Marie shopping plaza was the start of the city's also famous underground city which now comprises of many interconnecting underground areas throughout the downtown core. The famous Queen Elizabeth Hotel can be seen in the background (right). The architecture is very simple but this hotel is a very luxurious one. Hôtel Le Reine Elizabeth

Church of Santa María de la Granada.

 

Iglesia de Santa María de la Granada.

 

ENGLISH

Two opposing styles unite in this building, endowing it with a special beauty, in spite of its austerity.

 

The former building was a mosque, maybe with five original naves and a subsequent sixth one, and an alminar.A big part of the side walls from this period remain, as well as the mihrab in the quibla wall and another opening where the alminbar ( a mobile wooden pulpit for the preacher)was kept. The starting point of the arches leading to the sahn, the oriental galleries and the canes supporting the eaves of the roof, also remain from this time.

 

After the christian conquest, the alminar was firstly elevated and buttressed so that it could stand the bells' weight by covering the former structure. Subsequently, maybe in the 15th century, the arches of the middle naves were pulled down to build a higher three aisled church, and a large gothic-mudejar apse with a star-shaped ribbed vault, that would be completed in 1515. During the Spanish Civil War a remarkable mudejar coffered ceiling burnt up.

CASTELLANO

En este edificio religioso se aunan dos estilos contrapuestos que lo dotan de una estética bella, a pesar de su austeridad.

 

El primero de ellos fue mezquita, tal vez también con cinco naves originales y una sexta posterior, así como alminar. De este periodo se conserva gran parte de los muros laterales, con el mihrab en el muro de la quibla y otro hueco donde se guardaba el alminbar, que era un púlpito de madera móvil desde donde se predicaba. También se conserva el arranque de los arcos que daban paso al sahn, las galerías orientales, y los canes del alero de cubierta.

 

Tras la conquista cristiana en un primer momento se elevó y reforzó al alminar para que soportase el peso de las campanas, cubriendo la estructura anterior. Con posterioridad, tal vez en el siglo XV, se derribaron los arcos de las naves centrales y se construyó una iglesia de planta de tres naves de mayor altura y ábside gótico-mudéjar de gran trazado, con bóveda estrellada, que se terminaría en 1515. Durante la guerra civil española se quemó un interesante artesonado mudéjar.

~~~~~ KNOWN DISTRIBUTION in INDIA ~~~~~

almost throughout the drier parts of the country

 

~~~~~ THE TAXONOMIC CONFUSION ~~~~~

Buchanania lanzan Spreng. and Buchanania cochinchinensis (Lour.) Almeida are found linked because many botanical databases and local floras (especially in India) continue to use Buchanania cochinchinensis as the "accepted" name for the chironji tree (Buchanania lanzan). However, modern global authorities like Plants of the World Online (POWO) treat Buchanania cochinchinensis strictly as a synonym of the Rutaceae tree Glycosmis cochinchinensis, leaving Buchanania lanzan Spreng. as the correct name for the chironji tree.

Raphidiophrys es una ameba sol y como todas ellas su cuerpo blando y esférico se extiende desde su mismo centro en unos finísimos tentáculos, axopodios, que son a la vez, manos y pies, redes y trampas con los que flotan, se desplazan, atrapan e inmovilizan a sus presas y las acercan a su interior. Con frecuencia los heliozoos viven entre las algas y plantas acuáticas y se alimentan tanto de los más diminutos microorganismos fotosintéticos como de pequeños protozoos e incluso algunos de los más grandes se atreven con rotíferos y pueden con crustáceos, gigantes entre los minúsculos, como las pulgas de agua.

 

El cuerpo de todos los heliozoos es una masa viva y blanda de poca consistencia, que se podría extender en el agua dando lugar a mil formas como lo hace el cuerpo de las amebas desnudas y por eso, la mayoría de los heliozoos se visten, casi siempre con trajes de sílice, cada uno a su manera, pero siempre de forma sorprendente, útil y hermosa.

 

Elegante y hermoso es el vestido de amplios ventanales de cuarzo de Clathrulina elegans en el que los brazos y el cuerpo tienen desahogo para poder moverse libremente.

 

De burbujas de cristal está fabricado el de la sorprendente y dorada Pompholyxophrys punicea que parece ir en traje de fiesta.

 

Grandes burbujas de tejido elástico son las que recubren el cuerpo gigante de Actinosphaerium, haciendo de este traje un escudo elástico y ceñido, en el que quedan atrapadas las presas que fueron demasiado curiosas o despistadas y tropezaron con él.

 

Espinoso y liviano es el ropaje de Acanthocystis que disuade a quien quiera acercarse mucho a él y también espinosos suelen ser los trajes de Raphidiophrys, que a veces cubren los finos brazos abrigándolos en un buen trecho como en Raphidiophrys symmetrica.

 

El traje con el que se viste hoy Raphidiophrys intermedia es algo distinto y está hecho con una malla de cuarzo formada por varias capas, con él, Raphidiophrys se puede mover con facilidad y sin mucho peligro entre las marañas de selvas de algas por las que discurre su vida.

 

Este es tan solo un pequeño muestrario de una moda que no caduca y que siempre sorprende por su belleza.

  

Raphidiophrys intermedia vive en aguas limpias y frescas y procede de un pequeño arroyo situado en las inmediaciones de la ermita del Cristo junto a la población zamorana de Muelas del Pan en las inmediaciones del embalse de Ricobayo.

Extreme ways are back again

Extreme places I didnt know

I broke everything new again

Everything that Id owned

I threw it out the windows, came along

Extreme ways I know move apart

The colors of my sea

Perfect color me

 

I had to close down everything

I had to close down my mind

Too many things to cover me

Too much can make me blind

Ive seen so much in so many places

So many heartaches, so many faces

 

I would stand in line for this

Its always good in life for this

 

Oh baby, oh baby

Then it fell apart, it fell apart

Oh baby, oh baby

Like it always does, always does

11:30am- Ferrari Festival Father’s Day Celebration Luncheon

 

I really, really hope I can make it to Calabogie this year to take some shots of the cars in their natural habitat (the racetrack), but, as with the previous two years (2007 and 2008), I will at least be taking shots of the cars parked on Preston Street on Friday evening, and this time, I will be using all three of my current cameras (Nikon F65 35mm SLR, Panasonic Lumix DMC-LS75 digital camera, and my sister's ancient Fuji DL-8 fixed-lens snapshot camera for "lomo" shots). I will be taking some of the same kinds of shots that I've taken before, but I have a few new ideas so it won't be a complete rerun (same cars, same angles, different years).

 

That's a 1/24 Maisto "Assembly Line" Ferrari F430 model with the backdrop being the rear left rim of a Ferrari Mondial t. I actually brought the model with me because I wanted to get a shot of it framed by the "arch" at the southern end of Preston Street near Carling Avenue, but, unfortunately, there's extensive excavation work currently underway on Preston Street, so I couldn't get a clean shot of the arch without a bunch of construction fencing in the way.

 

By the way, this shot is a blatant self-conscious rip-off of this shot I took in Montreal in June 2001 of my 1/18 scale Mattel 100% Hot Wheels Ferrari F355 model photographed against a rim (which looks like it was another Mondial t).

About the Rhino

The Indian Rhinoceros or the Great One-horned Rhinoceros or the Asian One-horned Rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis) is a large mammal found in Nepal, Bhutan, Pakistan and in Assam, India. It is confined to the tall grasslands and forests in the foothills of the Himalayas. The Indian Rhinoceros can run at speeds of up to 25 mph (40 km/h) for short periods of time and is also an excellent swimmer. It has excellent senses of hearing and smell, but relatively poor eyesight.

 

The Indian Rhinoceros was the first rhinoceros known to Europeans. Rhinoceros from the Greek, "rhino" meaning nose and "ceros" meaning horn. The Indian Rhinoceros is monotypic, meaning there are no distinct subspecies. Rhinoceros unicornis was the type species for the rhinoceros family, first classified by Carolus Linnaeus in 1758

 

Indian rhinos have few natural enemies, except for tigers. Tigers sometimes kill unguarded calves, but adult rhinos are less vulnerable due to their size. Humans are the only other animal threat, hunting the rhinoceros primarily for sport or for the use of its horn. Mynahs and egrets both eat invertebrates from the rhino's skin and around its feet. Tabanus flies, a type of horse-fly are known to bite rhinos. The rhinos are also vulnerable to diseases spread by parasites such as leeches, ticks, and nematodes. Anthrax and the blood-disease septicemia are known to occur.

 

The Indian Rhinoceros makes a wide variety of vocalizations. At least ten distinct vocalizations have been identified: snorting, honking, bleating, roaring, squeak-panting, moo-grunting, shrieking, groaning, rumbling and humphing. In addition to noises, the rhino uses olfactory communication. Adult males urinate backwards, as far as 3–4 meters behind them, often in response to being disturbed by observers. Like all rhinos, the Indian Rhinoceros often defecates near other large dung piles. The Indian Rhino has pedal scent glands which are used to mark their presence at these rhino latrines. Males have been observed walking with their heads to the ground as if sniffing, presumably following the scent of females.

 

In aggregations, Indian Rhinos are often friendly. They will often greet each other by waving or bobbing their heads, mounting flanks, nuzzling noses, or licking. Rhinos will playfully spar, run around, and play with twigs in their mouth. Adult males are the primary instigators in fights. Fights between dominant males are the most common cause of rhino mortality, and males are also very aggressive toward females during courtship. Males will chase females over long distances and even attack them face-to-face. Unlike African Rhinos, the Indian Rhino fights with its incisors, rather than its horns.

I was lost in the lakes

And the shape that your body makes

That your body makes

 

And the mountains said I could find you here

They whisper the snow and the leaves in my ear

I traced my finger along your trails

Your body was the map

I was lost in there

 

Your Rocky Spine

Holy shitake mushrooms I got tagged twice again yesterday! I'm going to be doing facts forever!!

 

1. I happen to really enjoy this picture.

2. I'm taking Studio Art 2-D AP next year. My focus will be photography.

3. I'm the pickiest eater EVER. Like seriously, I will eat almost nothing.

4. I enjoy my side profile. haha

5. My nails break easily and it's really annoying. They get super long and then break. -_-

6. I think my head is too big for my neck.

7. I'm running a 5K this summer. Hopefully.

8. I much prefer being out and about to being in my house.

9. I have to get shots for Costa Rica and I'm not looking forward to it.

10. I <3 Britney Spears, N'Sync, Christina Aguilera, and the Backstreet Boys way too much.

Another shot from my Bodmin Moor adventure, this time focusing on The Hurlers, which are ancient stone circles in Minions, Cornwall.

 

The light was flat and I’d never been there so deciding what to shoot was a challenge.

 

With wellies on, once the visitors got out of the way I decided to focus on the interesting angles of the stones and to try and get a good depth to the shot without trying to take in the whole circle (which would have been a challenge!)

 

While not on the same scale as Stonehenge, they are very interesting and a nice change from seascapes. It’s an interesting place to be, with disused mines and Neolithic monuments on a pretty barren landscape.

 

I decided to use my GND 8 as the difference between sky and ground was technically best suited for a GND 4, but that filter did not give the desired contrast/dramatic effect for the sky. I just about managed to restrain myself from using an ND filter too, although I’m glad I did.

 

Fully fuelled on energy drinks, cookies and crisps, I came away with this.

 

I’m pleased with the result, hope you like it too.

Asomando su doble cabeza de cristal la diatomea Synedra capitata se presentó un día en esta galería, y no fue por cabezonería, sino por corazonada. Synedra tiene el cuerpo esbelto de todas las de su clase, y es como cualquier diatomea una joya, en este caso fíbula de cuarzo. Con sus dos extremos engrosados haciendo de balancín y representando eso, una cabeza, que es la que le da el nombre.

 

Lo cierto es que la mayoría de estos fascinantes organismos microscópicos del agua no tienen cabeza, sólo los minúsculos animales acuáticos que son pluricelulares han llegado a conseguirla y todo ello para superar la desventaja de vivir en un cuerpo grande. Rotíferos, planarias o pulgas de agua pueden llevarla para acomodar en ella los principales órganos de los sentidos -tienen que saber qué se llevan a la boca-. Pero para que ojos, tacto y receptores químicos funcionen, es necesario un órgano adicional extra: el cerebro, que aunque pequeño, resuelve los problemas cotidianos de la supervivencia.

 

Diatomeas, désmidos, amebas y protozoos han olvidado su cabeza y viven a latidos de vida, despreocupados, sólo saben vivirla con amor ciego a cada instante, entregados a ella, como hace el corazón enamorado en una misma apuesta generosa y egoísta que no busca otra contrapartida más que el mismo amor. Es su corazón redondo, situado en el propio corazón de sus entrañas, es su núcleo, quien conduce sin retorno a estos seres por el agua, al encuentro de la luz en abrazo permanente a ella y a la vida.

 

La cabeza en Synedra capitata es apariencia y lo es en ella por partida doble, ... no sólo en Synedra ... en todas las diatomeas, en todos los seres microscópicos y, quizá, también en nosotros, quien manda es el corazón.

 

Synedra capitata, ilumina la noche a corazonadas de vida, ha perdido la cabeza, sólo la lleva en su nombre y se guía por el corazón.

 

La imagen de hoy proecede de una muestra recogida por África en las Gorges del Foix en Barcelona, gracias a ella la podemos mostrar hoy aquí fotografiada a 400 aumentos empleando la técnica de campo oscuro.
