1587cc.

In present ownership since March 2003.

"Lisa von Lübeck" (German link) leaving Trave river at the windjammer parade of the festival "100 Jahre Passat" (100 Years Passat) in Lübeck-Travemünde, Hanseatic City of Lübeck, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.

 

Lisa von Lübeck is the reproduction of a 15th century medieval merchant vessel, called "Kraweel" (caravel) - a successor of the smaller Hanseatic cog ("Hansekogge"). Unlike the cogs that were constructed with the method of clinker building, the caravels were carvel built.

The double-headed eagle on the sail is the coat of arms of Lübeck.

 

The first cogs were used in the 10th century and were influenced by the Norse Knarr, which was the main trade vessel in northern Europe at the time.

The cogs of the 13th and 14th centuries could carry up to 200 tons of bulk cargo. They had an aftercastle to defend against pirates and other enemies.

 

The "birthday child" Passat (Link in German!) is a four-masted steel barque and one of the Flying P-Liners of the shipping company F. Laeisz of Hamburg, Germany, launched in 1911 by Blohm & Voss shipyard. Today it is a museum ship, a venue and a landmark of Lübeck-Travemünde.

You have different experiences when you do different things... I read that thing in some non-descript book and took a wee bit seriously when I went to Pilani this May. Gurgaon was heavy with traffic and potholes while the outskirts were dustier and had more potholes. Some were minnows but made you jump, while a few others were deep pits. Have to see it to believe it. It amused me to think they might have chanced upon an oil find. But after a while when Rajasthan came closer, it was all home again.

 

A bit different, however for me. Seven years before, only a few students in BITS used to have cell phones in and around Pilani. Big gadgets with nasty buttons. Siemens, Motorola and the likes... Now, every student has one, even two.

 

There is still no water in many villages. Tractors supply water, and women drive them too. The pigeons around these areas seem to be lazy at this time of the year, May. Bereft of water, may be, they hop around the roads, get crushed by the vehicles. Munnaji is doing good. Our days were better, he said. 'Now, ANC has 300 menu items! Who'll come to me?' he asks, leaving me a little more retrospective and a little confused. Pappu, without even concentrating much can sense anybody's coordinates in Sky Lawns. I was behind the prohibited area, looking at the other side of the campus when Chotu arrived there with a Mango Shake in his hand. Pappu ji had told him where I was. How far can one see, I say...

 

More girls wear T-shirts. Chimpu is still the busiest in C'not. His white ambassador stands outside housing booze. Hemanth is lax, Golden Dragon's dosas taste better. Exotica is no more... The theka is... Palam Singh, in his courteous manner, invited me to lunch in VKB mess. Had those naans, french fries, paneer and aloo - the Sunday lunch. They were delicious.

 

On the road, there are moments when you think of nothing else but the road and how good you feel on it. I wish the road was longer and I had more time to cover it. But for this summer, this ride was good enough to keep the batteries charged till winter.

ji..ba..ro n. A Puerto Rican native peasant worker whose blood has derived from the colonial Spanish, local Indigenous, and African slave.

 

cos..mic adj. Infinitely or inconceivably extended; vast.

 

Cosmic Jibaros have redefined the Latin rock band, building from Latin and Caribbean rhythms, adding funked up guitars and accordion flourishes to achieve a sound both cross-cultural and highly danceable.

 

The emphasis is on structured songs that build to pulsing, sweaty heights, performed by skilled musicians drawing on backgrounds as diverse as: gospel (drummer Christopher Stanley); latin pop and jazz (timbale/percussionist Tony Cintron); rock (bassist Juan Carlos Vega); funk (conga player Johnny Durkin); pop-rock (keyboard player/accordionist Tony Senes); and afro-beat, soul and jazz (guitarist Darian Cunning).

 

Laced with social and political overtones, the songs are primarily in Spanish. As lead singer, charismatic front man Ricardo Reyes performs with sincerity and tremendous stage presence, pouring his emotions into the songs to make the heart beat faster.

 

The irresistible pull of traditional bomba beats, inter-played between the congas and timbales, are mixed with modern deep drum and bass and effects-laden guitar. Accented by passionate vocals, stirring lyrics and floor-shaking percussion, the beats and grooves draw audiences forward to move their hips, whatever their age or ethnicity. The seven-piece group is equally at home performing in a rock venue, a festival stage or an intimate club in Spanish Harlem club.

 

..Still grounded in rock, but with a hypnotic rhythm, partially sung in English and part in Spanish, The Cosmic Jibaros appeal to a wide audience who wants to feel, and not just hear, their music...

Excellent! Very rich! I'm new to vegan baking but not cooking.

 

I used Sugar in the Raw Turbinado sugar, unsweetened Walmart brand applesauce, packed Trader Joe's organic brown sugar, earth balance original (wanted to do the soy-free but Walmart was out), and Trader Joe's semi-chocolate chips. I cooked them on parchment paper and moved the parchment paper and cookies to a cooling rack after taking from the oven.

 

The usual non-vegan cookie recipe I usually use is Toll house. I usually sub out butter with butter-flavored crisco for a soft cookie. When I would use butter, it would spread and be crispier. So that's where I come from.

 

I followed exactly as written and took them out at 10 minutes. I like a soft cookie. They hardened up with cooling. The color is darker than the usual non-vegan version but that's probably because the raw sugar is dark. And there's a gritty sugary texture because of the turbinado. Also, it's crispier on the edges. I'm guessing the crispier on the edges because of Earth Balance. I'd like to try with a finer vegan white sugar but it seems turbinado is good for holding moisture. I've had vegan cookies that crumble like a fiend so would rather not have crumble cookie syndrome and switching might do that.

 

I've got them in the fridge now so will be very curious how well they do with storage.

 

Served with almond milk. Only non-dairy milk that I've found I can drink straight.

Very tasty, from Pacific Coast Farmers' Market Association

pcfma.com/cbviewrecipe.php?id=1182287364

 

2 pounds ripe medium size tomatoes, cut into wedges

1 cup halved red and orange cherry tomatoes

1 refrigerated pie dough crust

1-1/3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons fine dry bread crumbs

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 to 1/2 cup loosely packed small fresh basil leaves

 

Preheat oven to 450°F. Unfold piecrust according to package directions. On a lightly floured surface, roll crust to a 12-inch circle. Place in a 9-to 9-1/2-inch quiche dish or 9-inch pie plate. Trim edges, if necessary. If using pie plate, crimp edge as desired. Do not prick pastry. Line the pastry with a double thickness of foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Remove foil. Bake 4 to 5 minutes more or until pastry is set and dry. Remove from oven.

 

Reduce oven temperature to 375°F. Sprinkle 1/3 cup of the cheese evenly over baked pie crust. Sprinkle minced garlic and 2 teaspoons of the bread crumbs over cheese. Top with one-third of the tomato wedges, one-third of the cherry tomatoes, and 1/3 cup of the remaining cheese. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of the remaining bread crumbs.

 

Repeat with another one-third of the tomato wedges, one-third of the cherry tomatoes, and 1/3 cup of the cheese. Sprinkle with remaining bread crumbs. Top with remaining tomato wedges, cherry tomatoes, and cheese. Sprinkle with salt. (Crust will be quite full.)

 

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes more or until pastry is golden brown and tomatoes are just starting to brown on top. Remove from oven to a wire rack and sprinkle with basil leaves. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. (If held longer, tomatoes tend to release their juices, which may make the pastry a little soggy.)

Serves: 8

 

Notes from Gwen: Didn't use cherry tomatoes. Used TJs parm-asiago-whatever shredded medley instead of mozz [will combine the two next time]. Dried basil instead of fresh. I just slapped the pre-made pie crust directly into the pie tin. Added lots of mushrooms in the middle layer. Sprinkled with basil before cooking, not after. Maybe as a side it's 8 servings, but the three of us finished it off as entree. Would make crust fresh next time.

Actually the first work day after the 9th anniversary of us hiring Caney to work as our dog back in 1999, after interviewing him at North Shore Animal Shelter.

 

Although it may look like a relaxing day at the office with his head in the clouds, he actually completely shredded his paw pads on this trip. His hind paws were bloody by the end of the ascent/descent to exit out.

 

This is in part to two things, the humidity keeping his paws and the rocks wet, the slickness from the humidity on the rocks, the course NH granite, the trip up the King Ravine (which the RMC guide says "This trail is NOT recommended for dogs"), and just the general steepness off all three days hiking.

 

Ironically, I just recently STOPPED carrying the paw repair kit. Definitely back in the bag for now on.

 

As cute as he is this is one tough dog, it was 60F and 100% humidity when we got up at 5am at 4200ft. The hike out in the same humidity felt like we were walking through a sauna, and it only got warmer. While it's pretty oppressive for a human, I know it was worse on him. He was panting non stop from camp to the car which was over 5 miles and 3.5 hours of hiking.

 

Typically, the daytime highs at 4000-6000ft in the northeastern US are only in the low 60s with much lower humidity than down in the valleys.

 

It was so hot my gear was soaked before we left camp, and his fur was soaked, and it never actually rained. Suffice to say, this little break in the 30mph winds (when they did please us with a gust) was well earned.

La Catedral de Morelia es un recinto religioso sede de la Arquidiócesis de Morelia de la Iglesia católica en México. Se encuentra ubicada como su nombre propiamente lo dice en la ciudad de Morelia, capital del estado de Michoacán, México. La catedral se localiza en el primer cuadro de la ciudad, conformando la traza del Centro Histórico de Morelia. El edificio fue construido en el siglo XVIII en la época de la Colonia Española, es de estilo barroco y esta realizado en cantera rosada que le da un color peculiar y característico.

# Arquitectónicamente la Catedral de Morelia comparándose con otras Catedrales de México, es similar a la Catedral Metropolitana de la Ciudad de México, Catedral de Puebla, e inclusive en su interior a la Catedral de Guadalajara.

# La catedral es la edificación más emblemática y representativa de Morelia dada su altura, ya que cuenta con dos altas torres, que se divisan por todo el valle de la ciudad. Por su altura, las torres de la Catedral de Morelia (66.8 m) son las cuartas más altas de México, después de las torres del Santuario Guadalupano (Catedral Inconclusa) en Zamora de Hidalgo (105 m), de la catedral de Villahermosa (80 m) y del Santuario de Guadalupe, en San Luis Potosí (68 m).

# Cuenta con una Iluminación escénica de singular belleza colocada por la empresa que iluminó la Torre Eiffel de París. Los fines de semana la catedral ofrece un espectáculo de luz y sonido con esta iluminación.

# La catedral está dedicada a la Transfiguración y en su interior alberga dos imágenes muy veneradas, Sagrado Corazón de Jesús que es el santo patrono de la ciudad, y el Señor de la Sacristía un Cristo muy antiguo realizado en pasta de caña de maíz. El cual es muy visitado y querido por la feligresía.

# Su belleza arquitectónica y su historia son otras razones por las cuales se ha convertido en un icono de la ciudad.

# En su interior este recinto dada su belleza, sonorización acústica y espaciosidad, figura como escenario de diversos eventos artísticos y culturales como el Festival Internacional de Órgano de Morelia, y el Festival Internacional de Música de Morelia.

La actual catedral de Morelia no ha sido la única catedral que ha tenido la ciudad, ya que en 1580, cuando los poderes civiles y eclesiásticos de Michoacán fueron trasladados de Pátzcuaro a Valladolid (anterior nombre de Morelia), se inauguró una catedral, muy inferior a la actual en tamaño y valor artístico. Esa construcción se ubicaba en la esquina de las actuales calles de Corregidora y Abasolo. Sin embargo, debido al crecimiento que experimentó la ciudad a finales del s. XVI e inicios del XVII, así como por causa de un incendio que en 1584 afectó severamente el anterior edificio catedralicio, se hizo necesario pensar en otro templo, más grande, sólido e importante. Por ello es que a inicios del s. XVII el cabildo catedralicio comenzó las gestiones para la construcción de la nueva catedral.

 

Muchos proyectos fueron propuestos, pero hasta mediados de ese siglo fue aceptado el proyecto del arquitecto italiano Vicenzo Barrochio, también conocido como Vicente Barroso de la Escayola por parte del Virrey Francisco Fernández de la Cueva, Duque de Alburquerque el 22 de marzo de 1660 concluyendo continuos trámites y proyectos de construcción durante un largo período de casi 80 años.

 

El día 6 de mayo de 1660 la primera piedra de la construcción fue colocada por el obispo Fray Marcos Ramírez del Prado. La construcción estuvo a cargo del propio Vicenzo Barrochio hasta el año de su muerte, acaecida en 1692, razón por la cual el gran arquitecto no pudo ver concluida su obra monumental. Sin embargo, solo 52 años después del deceso del maestro, sus discípulos lograron terminar la titánica tarea arquitectónica, por lo que la magnífica obra fue concluida en 1744.

 

La catedral sufrió diversos saqueos por parte del ejército independentista, en el año de 1810. Hacia fines del siglo XIX se construyó la reja perimetral que delimita el atrio. A finales de los años 90 del siglo XX se efectuaron diversas obras de restauración exteriores e interiores, con lo cual se preservó mejor la belleza del edificio. También, en los primeros años del siglo XXI, se inauguró la nueva iluminación escénica de esta catedral de Morelia.

 

The Cathedral of Morelia is a religious compound headquarters of the Archdiocese of Morelia of the Catholic Church in Mexico. It is located as the name itself says it in the city of Morelia, capital of Michoacan, Mexico. The cathedral is located on the first frame of the city, forming the trace of the Historic Center of Morelia. The building was built in the eighteenth century the Spanish colonial times, is in Baroque style and is made of pink quarry which gives it a distinctive and characteristic color.

# Architecturally, the Cathedral of Morelia compared against other Cathedrals in Mexico is similar to the Metropolitan Cathedral in Mexico City, Puebla Cathedral, and even inside the Cathedral of Guadalajara.

# The cathedral is the most emblematic and representative buildings of Morelia given their height, since it has two tall towers that can be seen throughout the valley of the city. For his height, the towers of the Catedral de Morelia (66.8 m) are the fourth highest in Mexico after the towers of the Sanctuary of Guadalupe (Cathedral Unfinished) in Zamora de Hidalgo (105 m) of the cathedral in Villahermosa (80 m) and the Sanctuary of Guadalupe, San Luis Potosi (68 m).

# Has a unique scenic beauty lighting placed by the company that lit the Eiffel Tower in Paris. On weekends, the cathedral offers a sound and light show with this lighting.

# The cathedral is dedicated to the Transfiguration and its interior houses two highly venerated image, Sacred Heart of Jesus who is the patron saint of the city, and the Lord of the Sacristy a Christ very old paste made of cornstalks. Which is much visited and loved by the congregation.

# Its beautiful architecture and history are other reasons why it has become an icon of the city.

# Inside this enclosure because of its beauty, sound and spacious sound, set for a variety of artistic and cultural events as the International Organ Festival in Morelia, and the International Music Festival of Morelia.

The current cathedral of Morelia was not the only cathedral in the city has had since 1580, when civil and ecclesiastical powers were transferred from Patzcuaro Michoacan to Valladolid (Morelia previous name), opened a cathedral, much lower the current size and artistic value. That building was located on the corner of the present streets of Corregidor and Abasolo. However, due to growth experienced by the city at the end of s. Sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, and because of a fire in 1584 severely affected the former cathedral building, it became necessary to think of another temple, larger, robust and important. That is why at the beginning of s. XVII the cathedral chapter began efforts to build the new cathedral.

 

Many projects were proposed, but until mid-century the project was accepted by the Italian architect Vincenzo Barrochio, also known as the Plaster Vicente Barroso by the Viceroy Francisco Fernandez de la Cueva, Duke of Albuquerque on March 22, 1660 concluding continuous procedures and construction projects over a long period of almost 80 years.

 

On May 6, 1660 the first stone of the building was laid by Bishop Fray Marcos Ramírez del Prado. The building itself was given by Vicenzo Barrochio until his death in 1692, why the great architect could not see completed his monumental work. However, only 52 years after the death of the teacher, his pupils got through the daunting task of architecture, so that the magnificent work was completed in 1744.

 

The cathedral suffered several raids by the army for independence, in the year 1810. By the end of the nineteenth century built the perimeter fence that marks the atrium. In the late 90s of the twentieth century restoration work carried out various internal and external, thereby better preserved the beauty of the building. Also, in the early twenty-first century, opened the new stage lighting of the cathedral of Morelia.

DON'T DO IT

 

Yesterday's rant posted today(I knocked out.)

 

Last night there was an accident down the block from home.

this is what it looked like.

The guy driving was DUI, according to the people that helped him and his daughters get out of the car.

 

If you know me, you know how much against drunk driving I am.

I don't care if it's only one beer/drink/ whatever.

PLEASE DO NOT DRIVE UNDER THE INFLUENCE

You put your life AND others Lives in danger.

 

Have a designated driver, it's really not that hard.

your life is definitely worth it.

 

I guess this rant comes at a good time, with Thanksgiving this weekend.

PLEASE be safe everyone.

I realized I hadn't done anything cool with photoshop in a while, so I figured what better time to get my 'shop on than with the release of Left 4 Dead 2!

 

Out of all the photoshop projects I've done lately, I think this one was the most fun. It looks like I actually put some effort into it and is probably the coolest looking one so far. I decided on an original color scheme of purplish-blueish, rather than the official green/yellow. Except for the ripped thumb part (taken straight from the actual box art ._. ) everything is my own work. (But even that took a while to make it look right.)

 

The alternate (a.k.a. The one that's blatant advertising for the game) is in the comments. I was thinking about uploading it instead of the one here, but I had to go with the simplicity of this one. (Not the mention the word "dEAD" looks kinda funky)

  

P.S. I find it funny that I spent my night working on a Left 4 Dead pic, rather than actually playing it. Hmmmm... Well, that's what tonight is for. :D

The Kingston Fossil Plant, operated by the Tennessee Valley Authority, is located at the confluence of the Clinch and Emery Rivers, tributaries of the Tennessee River, between the towns of Harriman and Kingston in Roane County, Tennessee.

 

The plant put 9 power generating units on line in 1955, with 5 tall and 4 short stacks. In 1976, its original stacks were taken out of service (though left standing) and replaced by a pair of 1,000.0 feet(304.8 m) tall chimneys, one for units 1–5 and one for units 6–9. (See www.flickr.com/photos/23056599@N00/180342544

 

To reduce sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions, all nine units use a blend of low-sulfur coal. Two scrubber shave been added to the units, further reducing emissions by up to 95 percent. This project was completed in fiscal year 2010 at a cost of about $475 million.

 

Of course, TVA is still dealing with the December 2008, an impoundment at the plant failed, releasing 1.1 billion gallons (4.2 million m³) of coal fly ash slurry that covered up to 300 acres (1.2 km2) of the surrounding land, damaging homes and flowing into nearby waterways.

Here future Lovers, when in Troops they come,

Venus, to visit thy distinguish'd Dome,

As thro' this consecrated Shade they pass,

Shall offer to the Genius of the Place.

Shift now the closer Scene: and view around,

With various Beauties the wide Landskip crown'd.

Here level Glades extend their length'ning Lines,

There in just Order the deep Quincunce shines.

Here chrystal Lakes reflect contiguous Shades,

There distant Hills uplift their azure Heads.

Round the free Lawn here gadding Heifers stray,

And frisking Lambs in sportive Gambols play.

There murmur to the Wind Groves ever-green,

And inter-mingled Buildings rise between:

The Sun declin'd with milder Glory burns,

And the fair Piece with various Light adorns.

Lo! in the Centre of this beauteous Scene,

Glitters beneath her Dome the Cyprian Queen:

Not like to her, whom ancient Homer prais'd,

To whom a thousand sacred Altars blaz'd:

When simple Beauty was the only Charm,

With which each tender Nymph and Swain grew warm:

But, Yielding to the now-prevailing Taste,

In Gold, for modern Adoration, drest.

For her the Naiads, in their watry Bed,

Amid the level Green a Mirror spread;

Along whose terass'd Banks the shelt'ring Wood,

Defends from ruder Winds th' unruffled Flood.

 

Bigger is a MUST!

I don't know but for some reason, I'm not feeling like my usual self today. I mean,

while at work I was playing cards with co-workers.. pretty fun.. But after I left, I felt down. I tried listening to some music but couldn't cheer myself up. plus they're the same repeated songs I've been listening to for the past 3 weeks. I don't own an iPod. I play my music from my phone so its pretty hard to be uploading and downloading songs with a busy schedule.

 

I have this mini shoot with one of Juan's friends tomorrow. First one I'm getting paid. I think this feeling is because of that. I don't understand why I'm feeling so gloomy. Usually when i go out on photo shoots, I get all excited. I don't know. I told myself I'll let this pass. Hopefully I'll feel better before tomorrow.

 

So I got home from work. I decided on buying new LED flashlights and a Bulb flashlight for my dad. When I got back, I wanted to test them out. I first thought of a self portrait but since it was still daytime, too bright. I grabbed my Kalimar 50mm and used it as my model instead. I had 4 LED flashlights, two in the front and 2 in the back, left and right. and one Bulb light on my left facing at an angle.. After a couple of shots, I got this one.. I'll post the setup below..

 

I thought of my cam to cheer me up a bit.. and it did =]] but theres always tomorrow...

About the Pudú

The pudús (Pudu), considered to be the world's smallest deer, are native to South America. There are two species of pudú: the Northern pudú (Pudu mephistophiles) from Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Chile[1], which stands about 12 to 14 inches (32 to 35 cm) at the shoulder; and the Southern or Chilean Pudú (Pudu puda) from southern Chile and southwestern Argentina[1], which averages between 14 to 16 inches (36 to 41 cm)[2]. Males sprout small (7-10cm) antlers which are shed annually.

 

Both species of pudú subsist on a diet of grass, leaves, and fallen fruit. In the wild, their life expectancy is between eight and ten years. The Southern species is endangered (IUCN status: vulnerable), primarily due to hunting and habitat loss from human agriculture and land development.

 

The pudú has several interesting characteristics that distinguish it from other deer. It is able to climb fallen trees, and it is sometimes forced to do so, both to escape predators and reach food. Because of its small size, it is often forced to balance on its hind legs to reach foliage. When threatened, it barks in alarm.

 

Because it lives in the dense forests of South America, it requires an efficient way to travel throughout the undergrowth. Pudú maintain a complex system of paths and trails that allow them to quickly get from one place to another. Such paths often lead to excellent places to rest, mate or find food.

 

Pudú mate between April and June, and gestation periods range from 200 to 220 days, giving birth to one or occasionally two young.

 

Its predators are typically eagles, owls, cougars, foxes, and small cats.

Morning smiles

like the face of a newborn child,

innocent, unknowing.

Winter's end

promises of a long lost friend.

Speaks to me of comfort.

 

But I fear

I have nothing to give.

I have so much to lose here in this lonely place,

Tangled up in our embrace.

There's there's nothing I'd like better than to fall.

But I fear I have nothing to give.

 

Wind in time,

Rapes the flower trembling on the vine,

And nothing yields to shelter it from above.

They say temptation will destroy our love.

The never ending hunger.

 

But I fear

I have nothing to give,

I have so much to lose here in this lonely place,

Tangled up in our embrace.

There's nothing I'd like better than to fall.

 

But I fear I have nothing to give.

I have so much to lose.

I have nothing to give.

We have so much to lose...

Né à Zurich en 1910, mort à Paris en 1999, Rolf Liebermann fut l’une des personnalités musicales majeures du XXe siècle. Compositeur, chef d’orchestre, metteur en scène, il dirigea successivement les Opéras de Hambourg (1959-1972) et de Paris (1973-1980). Au Palais Garnier, son nom est attaché, entre autres, aux Noces de Figaro dans la mise en scène de Giorgio Strehler (production reprise cette saison) ou à la création mondiale de la version en trois actes de Lulu dirigée par Pierre Boulez.

 

A l’occasion du centenaire de sa naissance, le Staatsoper de Hambourg s’associe à la Bibliothèque-Musée de l’Opéra et à l’Opéra de Paris pour rendre hommage à cette personnalité d’exception.

ToscanaLab di Fondazione Sistema Toscana e BTO Educational, a braccetto tornano, dopo la prima esperienza a Milano a Settembre 2K10, alla Social Media Week, il Festival della Rete per continuare a parlare del rapporto [ pericoloso ] tra Social Media e il mondo del viaggio.

 

Con il contributo di Expedia.it, discuteremo dell'argomento dentro il nostro collaudato format che prevede presentazioni e conversazioni, in un contesto unconventional che abbatte le barriere tra speakers e pubblico.

 

Social Media Better Tourism [ reload ] dentro la Social Media Week Rome, il Festival della Rete è un'ulteriore tappa pubblica del nostro percorso di ricerca che mette al centro le persone e il loro rapporto con il viaggio.

 

Indagheremo ancora una volta su come per le persone un valore [ primario ] come l'esperienza del viaggio, trova oggi in questo web sociale il luogo perfetto per essere condiviso in forma di racconto e come queste tante storie vanno a impattare sulle dinamiche d'incontro tra domanda e offerta turistica.

 

Per parlare di tutto ciò, l'8 Febbraio a Roma abbiamo coinvolto un soggetto che fa ricerca, un'esperienza di governance di un territorio, una giovane start up, un leader di mercato: dopo le loro presentazioni, la conversazione con il pubblico.

If you drive past Hana and continue driving south you come to this beautiful National Park called “7 Pools”. I hope you brought your swim suit. You have a choice of swimming in the ocean at a black sand beach or as most choose up stream at one of the 7 pools. The first time Kathy & I saw this in 1986 there were kids jumping off the bridge (in the background) to a tiny pool below some 40 feet down.

Well, here is another in my [occasional series on containers](http://www.jezblog.com/index.php?showimage=1316) ........ Containers....... [For shipping and world trade](http://www.jezblog.com/index.php?showimage=1231&PHPSESSID=253e73527f577b8f5f3d5c19047cb3a1&reply_to=47309&PHPSESSID=253e73527f577b8f5f3d5c19047cb3a1)......... but right now Im really thinking of the containers.......... Yeah the actual containers themselves...... and what's in them...... if any of it could keep or would be worth keeping for a very long time........

 

Today I went to the [British Museum to see an amazing exhibition of 'The Book of the Dead'](http://www.britishmuseum.org/whats_on/all_current_exhibitions/book_of_the_dead.aspx) . Really it is looking at the religion of Ancient Egypt. The beliefs and spells to guide the dead of their time into the life everlasting........ Into the 'Field of Reeds'.

 

"The Field of Reeds. The God who is in it is Ra.

 

The very high mountain.

 

The Mound of transfigured spirits.

 

The Mound of Wenet. The god who is in it is the Destroyers of Souls.

 

The river of flaming fire.

 

The Mound of Kheraha. The god who is in it is Hapi."

 

(spell 150 names of the mounds of the Netherworld)

 

The book of the dead took the form of hundreds of spells written to protect and guide the spirit through the tests that they must pass to make it into eternal life and the prospect of riding with the Sun God Ra on his boat each day as he rode across the skies.

 

It's amazing that 3000 year old bits of papyrus survive to this day and are on display to pass on all that was sacred to the ancient Egyptians. Hey that in itself is a pretty amazing testament to the way they preserved their dead and the containers they buried them in ...... as each individuals book of the dead was buried with its deceased owner........ Often they almost clutched it ........ Mummified in it in their sarcophagus.

 

I don't know if any of our religious texts will stand a reading in 3000 years time......... or need to be stuck on to embalmed corpses......... and I wonder what of our civilization of now will still survive to be marveled at in a distant future.

 

I don't know what could, should or would survive. But Im not sure any of the stuff in these containers is it................

 

I'm not sure where you would put anything you wanted to keep....... something you wanted to be presented to the world in 3000 years from now........ maybe on the internet..........??????

 

Although Harv must be working on a pretty amazing series of catacombs under his house........ As today he tells me he unearthed an unopened box of........ :

 

"This is a FULL BOX of SEALED Agfa Record Rapid (50 sheets), a paper considered to be one of the best ever made.

Agfa stopped production of this paper in the 90's, it has acquired cult status as being 'state of the art' exhibition paper.

The box is factory sealed, unopened, undamaged and was safely stored in cool dark conditions. (see pictures)

This is a very rare opportunity, I doubt you'll see an unopened box again as they are simply not available anywhere.

Much of my portfolio is printed on this paper, if I still had a darkroom I'd keep it but I switched to digital years ago."

 

The like of such a valuable and rare find ........ can only be dug from ancient protected places........ Protected from the desert sun and away from grave robbers and sand vipers............ Yes it can only be found in ancient hidden rare places.......... er.......... or otherwise you can bid for it on ebay ........ hehehehehehehe.......... :

 

[http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/AGFA-RECORD-RAPID-NEW-Sealed-/170571000624?pt=UK_Photography_DarkroomSupplies_SM&hash=item27b6d2eb30](http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/AGFA-RECORD-RAPID-NEW-Sealed-/170571000624?pt=UK_Photography_DarkroomSupplies_SM&hash=item27b6d2eb30)

I photographed these Hooded Mergansers at the Black Point Wildlife Drive section of Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge located immediately north of the NASA Space complex on Florida's Atlantic Coast. I hope that during my next visit to Merritt Island I can capture a better image with which to replace this one.

The Hooded Merganser is a species of small duck. It is the only living species in the genus. The genus name derives from the Greek language: lophos meaning 'crest', and dutes meaning diver. The bird is striking in appearance; both sexes have crests which they can raise or lower, and the breeding plumage of the male is handsomely patterned and colored. The Hooded Merganser has a sawbill but is not classified as a typical merganser. Hooded Mergansers are the second smallest species of merganser, with only the smew of Europe and Asia being smaller, and it also is the only merganser whose native habitat is restricted to North America. A species of fossil duck from the Late Pleistocene of Vero Beach, Florida, was described as Querquedula Floridana (a genus now included in Anas), but upon reexamination turned out to be a species closely related to the Hooded Merganser; it is now named Lophodytes Floridanus, but the exact relationship between this bird and the modern species is unknown.

El milano real (Milvus milvus) es una especie de ave accipitriforme de la familia Accipitridae. Es similar en aspecto al milano negro, del que se distingue por su cabeza de color gris plateado y su silueta. Los ejemplares que anidan en el norte de Europa se desplazan al sur para invernar; algunos de ellos atraviesan el estrecho de Gibraltar hasta llegar al norte de África. Su distribución llega hasta Canarias y las islas de Cabo Verde. La población de las Islas Baleares se encuentra desde hace poco clasificada como en peligro de extinción debido al uso de venenos. Características El milano real tiene una longitud de 60 a 65 centímetros, una envergadura de alas de casi dos metros (190 centímetros) y un peso que oscila, desde los 900 gramos a los 1.200 gramos de peso. Su cola tiene una forma muy ahorquillada. Se diferencia fácilmente del milano negro, que es totalmente oscuro y tiene la cola menos ahorquillada. Alimentación Caza aves y pequeños mamíferos, como liebres o ratas, también se alimenta de pájaros e invertebrados; incluso puede devorar carroña. Anidación Suele anidar en los árboles, donde confecciona un nido a base de ramas y hojas. La puesta consiste en un número que oscila, desde un solo huevo, hasta tres; tardarán en eclosionar unos treinta y cinco días aproximadamente. El macho suele reemplazar a la hembra en la incubación por pequeños periodos de tiempo, mientras ésta se alimenta.

I was stood by these penguins trying to get this shot for ages as a couple of these penguins would swim around the pool underwater and every now and again would fly through the air before diving underwater again. The only trouble was they moved so fast it was hard to know where they were going to surface. I must have taken about 100 shots to get this one.

  

Named after the cold-water Humboldt Current which was itself named after Freidrich Humboldt, the German scientist who discovered it. Compared to other penguins the adults are medium sized, with large heads, black faces, black backs, tails and feet. The front of their necks is white, with a white border extending from the necks around the face up to their reddish brown eyes. Their black bills have a white band near the tip and the lower mandible is pink, the fleshy colour extending to the eyes. A black band runs down the body beneath the flippers. Females are smaller than males, while young birds don’t have the bold double stripe of adults and are more greyish than black, with a white front.

They breed all year but main seasons are March-April and September-October. They commonly rear two broods in a season. Birds lay eggs in burrows or small crevices, with two eggs usually laid over two to four days and incubation taking 40 to 42 days, chicks hatching two days apart. Both adults share nesting and daily feeding duties. Chicks rarely leave their nest until they have enough plumage to maintain their own body temperature, and after about 12 weeks they have to fend for themselves. They reach maturity at two years.

 

Most Humboldt penguin pairs remain faithful to each other for years, rarely choosing new partners unless one of them dies, and they often return to the same site to breed year after year.

Ich kenne den Sinn dieser Installation nicht, aber es ist ein Blickfang.

mhobl hat etwas dazu gefunden:

 

Der stolze Besitzer würde das denkmalgeschützte Ensemble gerne zu einem fairen Preis veräußern, allein, es fehlt an solventen Interessenten, die für das altersschwache Trio eine neue Nutzungsherausforderung bereithalten. Möglicherweise führt die Berühmtheit, die Marc Köschinger mit seiner Installation "Schmetterlingsschwarm" dem Häuserensemble an der Pfahlstraße nun national verschaffen dürfte, aber doch noch zur Rettung.

...

Gerade wenn es den Passanten und Betrachtern am besten gefällt, dieses Street-Art-Meisterwerk, beschleicht sie vielleicht auch ein etwas mulmiges Gefühl – so wünscht sich Köschinger jedenfalls. Diese stille Invasion scheint sich ja nicht alleine am Haus Pfahlstraße 7 zu delektieren, längst ist sie auch über einen ziemlich ausgebeinten Mexiko-Käfer hergefallen, den Köschinger nach Eichstätt transportieren ließ, um abzusichern, dass das Schmetterlings-Haus nicht immer wieder mit parkenden, ganz und gar "vitalen" Autos zugestellt wird und auch, um das Kunstwerk vom Haus weg in die Straße und in die ganze Stadt hineinzutragen und hineinwirken zu lassen.

And in this place, the same where we ate, we give for finished the excursion. We see off, we were desired the best to another one, and we insinuated when it could be the next meeting, perhaps at full season of calçots (famous catalan onions).

 

The return to Barcelona thence, route Igualada, really was amused, at night, through dark roads without transit, and attended permanently by the GPS navigator, who was anticipating the bends...

Y en este lugar, el mismo donde comimos, damos por finalizada la excursión. Nos despedimos, nos deseamos los mejor, e insinuamos cuándo podría ser la próxima reunión, quizás en plena temporada de calçots.

 

El regreso a Barcelona desde allí, vía Igualada, fue realmente divertido, de noche, por oscuras carreteras sin tránsito, y asistido permanentemente por el navegador GPS, que me iba anticipando las curvas...

As I mentioned in my last post, I certainly still have more photographs to post from both my charity bike ride in Morocco and the DMU Boston meetup, but I've put off posting shots from the BU Photo Club twilight shoot at Lo Presti Park for far too long.

 

This particular shot was one that I had flagged as a keeper the moment I reviewed it on the LCD of my camera when I shot it. I've put off posting it because I couldn't decide whether or not people looking at the photo would like how the old pier posts blend into the blackness of the cityscape (I figured y'all wouldn't.) After several weeks of going back and forth, I was reminded of the fact (again) that this is my photograph and I like- no- love the colors and tones in this and even though I do like it when others say they enjoy my work, it's shouldn't become my primary motive for pursuing photography as I do- and it's not.

 

Also, I love me some purple.
