Con elementos de la vida del propio autor, Viaje de un largo día hacia la noche gira en torno a los conflictos de una familia norteamericana quebrada por las frustraciones y los vicios. Mary, una mujer presa de una adicción imposible de desarraigar, está casada con James Tyrone, un actor que ha pasado su vida haciendo giras sin poder formar un verdadero hogar y llevando frecuentemente a su esposa, que de joven soñaba con ser monja o concertista de piano, como acompañante. Ambos tienen dos hijos, Edmundo y Jimmy, quienes consideran que la tacañería de su padre es la causa de muchos de los males de la familia. Edmundo muestra talento para la poesía pero está gravemente enfermo, mientras que Jimmy, obligado por su padre a dedicarse al teatro, no logra encaminarse y gasta todo el dinero que cae en sus manos en bebida.
La obra transcurre desde la mañana hasta la noche del mismo día y muestra las expectativas que tiene la familia de que Mary se recupere, expectativas que se van frustrando a medida que pasan las horas. Y mientras tanto, van saliendo a la luz tragedias del pasado, resentimientos, decepciones y demostraciones de afecto, a pesar de todo, leer más...

La obra de Arthania (en oleos sobre lienzo) supera las 13000 unidades(medida radiestésica), por lo que entra de lleno en el campo emocional, sus efectos curativos puede que sean debidos precisamente a esto, es decir, como armonizadores del sistema nervioso central, a través de él, afecta positivamente a los distintos sistemas orgánicos. La pintura de Arthania, en virtud de su emisión de forma, puede ser un factor armonizador de primera magnitud. Os invito a disfrutar de esta sorprendente muestra desde una actitud positiva, serena, abierta, desde el fluir, desde la receptividad, desde el silencio. Este es el camino más seguro para percibir los impulsos curativosy transformadores que se ocultan tras los sutiles velos de la obra de Arthania.

Explicación sobre la obra pictórica de ARTHANIA
La energía que rodea al ser humano está por todas partes, por ello es adecuado rodearse de obras bellas y armoniosas,
ya que, todo objeto, despide ondas: positivas, neutras o negativas.
Esta obra pictórica,comienza con seguros trazos circulares, ondulaciones que consiguen fascinantes formas y colores. Fractales de una policromía exquisita.
Más los dibujos, también de formas onduladas, "del sonido", inspirados en experiencias internas, vividas en otros espacios-tiempo.
En suproximidad, eleva la frecuencia vibratoria personal y del entorno. Mirando a corta distancia, ayuda adesarrollar la concentración en lo intangible.
Los tonos intensos vivos vitalizan, los suaves relajan, a veces según la obra persona o situación actúan a la vez.
Ensu proximidad limpian el campo de energía personal y del entorno, por ser transmutador de energías nocivas.
Produce efectos benéficos: en las personas animales y plantas, ya que, emanan energías positivas.
Aconsejable en decoración. Dan un toque de alegría y la vez de elegancia. Crean una atmósfera agradable... Optimizan el espacio.
Este arte expresa, estados internos, sentimientos de mi Alma, y ¡Ser! basados en experiencias elevadas, en otros mundos ínter-dimensionales...
Emiten ondas de formas positivas...

Río Ebro
Artículo de la Enciclopedia Libre Universal en Español
El Ebro es el río más caudaloso de la Península Ibérica, que recorre el valle de su nombre en dirección NO.-SE. con una longitud total de 910 km y 83.093 km2 de cuenca.
Nace en Fontibre cerca de Reinosa, en la Comunidad Autónoma de Cantabria, discurriendo por Miranda de Ebro, Haro, Logroño, Tudela, Alagón, Zaragoza, Caspe y Tortosa.
Los principales macizos montañosos que delimitan su cuenca son: los Pirineos al norte, el Sistema Ibérico al sur y los Picos de Europa en su nacimiento.
Desemboca al mar Mediterráneo en Deltebre (Delta del Ebro), próximo a Tortosa (Tarragona), formando un Delta donde la Isla de Buda divide la corriente en dos brazos principales (Golas Norte y Sur). El Delta del Ebro cubre 330 km2 - 20% de los cuales son áreas naturales y la superficie restante es agrícola y urbana; los campos de arroz en el Delta cubren sobre unas 21.000 ha.
El Ebro sufre sus crecidas más frecuentes en la estación fría, de octubre a marzo, aunque a veces se prolongan en el tramo final hasta mayo; las de estación fría suelen estar ligadas al régimen pluvial oceánico, mientras que las ocurridas en primavera son fruto de la fusión de la nieve de los Pirineos. Los estiajes se producen en verano: de julio a octubre, en Miranda de Ebro y de fines de agosto y primeros de septiembre en Tortosa.
Las aguas del Ebro se aprovechan en numerosos puntos para el regadío mediante los canales Imperial y el de Tauste. Su caudal es regulado por los embalses del Ebro, Mequinenza y Ribarroja. Estos embalses hacen que en la actualidad el Delta sufra un fenómeno geológico llamado regresión, porque detienen los sedimentos que deberían llegar a la desembocadura.
Su nombre deriva del antiguo topónimo Iber, que da también nombre a los pueblos íberos. Notablemente, en lengua vasca "ibar" significa ribera o margen del río.
Situación geográfica: Norte de España, atraviesa las comunidades de Cantabria, Castilla y León, La Rioja, Navarra, Aragón y Cataluña
Origen: Se plegaron los sedimentos exteriores (los Pirineos y Béticos) dando lugar a dos cordilleras de tipo alpino (Pirineos y Béticas) que produjo en compensación el hundimiento de dos cosas : el valle del Ebro, y el valle del Guadalquivir invadidos por el mar.
Nacimiento: tradicionalmente se fijaba en el manantial de Fontibre a 880 m. hoy se fija en las fuentes del río Hijar en Peñalabra a 1980 m., 27 km antes de Reinosa, corriente que viene del manantial.
Desembocadura: Mar Mediterráneo. El Parc Natural del Delta de l'Ebre fue creado en 1983 por la Generalitat de Catalunya por la demanda de los habitantes del municipio de Deltebre. Es la zona humeda mas importante de Cataluña con una superfície total de 7802 hectareas.

APPELLO PER UNA SETTIMANA DI LOTTA
CONTRO LA VIVISEZIONE DAL 30 OTTOBRE
AL 6 NOVEMBRE 2010
In Italia ci sono circa 600 laboratori di vivisezione autorizzati, nei quali animali di ogni specie vengono uccisi in nome della scienza. Sono ovunque, in ogni città, ma pochi sanno della loro esistenza, visto che una delle principali necessità dei vivisettori è lavorare nel segreto e nel silenzio.
L’argomento vivisezione sta diventando nuovamente di dominio pubblico e la campagna contro l’allevamento Green Hill ha portato alla luce una parte fondamentale di questa pratica, lo sporco lavoro degli allevatori che
producono in serie esseri viventi da mandare alla morte. Il ‘caso Green Hill’ ha creato attenzione e sdegno, ma nonostante la sua imponenza e la sua peculiarità, questo allevamento è solo uno dei 600 posti collegati alla vivisezione in tutta Italia. Gli altri sono probabilmente vicino a casa vostra. E questi non sono da meno, sono quelli in cui gli animali vengono imprigionati, avvelenati, torturati, uccisi.
Abbiamo deciso di lanciare una nuova offensiva ai vivisettori per fare in modo che le energie concentratesi a Roma il 25 settembre possano diffondersi a macchia d’olio, creando una forza su cui lavorare nel proprio territorio. Lo scopo è quello di smascherare i vivisettori, rendere noti i luoghi nei quali compiono il loro lavoro, dare ancora maggiore visibilità a questo problema e cominciare una pressione che possa nel tempo portare diversi frutti.
DAL 30 OTTOBRE AL 6 NOVEMBRE SI TERRANNO DIVERSE INIZIATIVE CONTRO LA VIVISEZIONE IN MOLTE PARTI D’ITALIA.
Alcuni eventi sono già organizzati, altri sono in fase di organizzazione e appena confermati verrà diffusa notizia al riguardo anche di quest’ultimi.
Saranno disponibili caselle email specifiche per i referenti locali che organizzeranno le iniziative e chiunque potrà contattarli per chiedere ulteriori dettagli. TUTTE le iniziative durante la settimana di lotta verranno dettagliatamente riportate tra gli appuntamenti presenti su:
www.fermaregreenhill.net/settimanacontrolavivisezione
Dare ancora una volta voce a quegli esseri viventi prigionieri non solo di una gabbia, ma anche di una mentalità che li vuole vedere come cavie, oggetti alla mercé di alcuni umani. Vogliamo aprire tutte le gabbie, ma per farlo dobbiamo anche scardinare la mentalità specista che fa da fondamento alla vivisezione. Quello che proponiamo è un primo piccolo passo in questa direzione.
DURANTE LA SETTIMANA DI LOTTA CONTRO LA VIVISEZIONE I PROTAGONISTI SARANNO GLI ANIMALI!
Ma chi può portare in piazza il loro grido di dolore siamo noi, ognuno di noi.
La settimana di lotta si concluderà SABATO 6 NOVEMBRE con un appuntamento nazionale a Montichiari (BS).
Passeremo vicino all’allevamento per portare poi simbolicamente con noi la voce di ognuno dei 2500 cani prigionieri di Green Hill fino al Comune di Montichiari.
Appuntamento alle ore 15.00 a Montichiari (BS), il luogo del concentramento ed altri dettagli sul corteo e sulle altre iniziative della campagna verranno diffusi al più presto. Chi volesse organizzare pullman per Montichiari il 6 novembre intanto è pregato di contattarci all’indirizzo email: info@fermaregreenhill.net. Anche in questo caso per chiunque fosse intenzionato a prenotare posti saranno disponibili delle caselle email specifiche.
Queste iniziative e soprattutto il corteo del 6 Novembre a Montichiari sono in risposta agli ultimi aggiornamenti sul ‘caso Green Hill’, per eventuali delucidazioni vi invitiamo a leggere il comunicato del Coordinamento visibile cliccando su questo link: www.fermaregreenhill.net/wp/?p=753
Coordinamento Fermare Green Hill
Kalkan (Greek: Kalamaki) is a town on the Turkish Mediterranean coast, which averages 300 days of sunshine a year. The area includes many historical sites and many fine beaches. The word Kalkan is Turkish for 'shield'. Kalkan is an old fishing town, and the only safe harbor between Kaş and Fethiye; it is famous for its white-washed houses, descending to the sea, and its brightly colored bougainvilleas. Until the early 1920s the majority of its inhabitants were Greeks. They had to leave the town in 1923 because of the Exchange of populations between Greece and Turkey after the Greco-Turkish War. They emigrated mainly to Attica, where they founded the new town of Kalamaki. With much of the surrounding land still undeveloped and with many nearby remains of ancient civilizations, Kalkan is the ideal resort[citation needed] for those who want calm and relaxation, enjoying the natural beauty of the cleanest seashores and of rough mountains covered with pine forests, and also for those who want to explore the remains of the ancient Lycian cities in the neighborhood. Lycia, "The Land of Light", which is the first known federation in history, included the many city-states between modern-day Fethiye and Antalya, and its capital was Xanthos (Arna in Lycian language), which is Kinik today, 17 km (11 mi) from Kalkan. Kalkan was an important harbour town until the 1970s as the only seaport for the environs. It declined after construction of Fethiye road but revived after the emergence of the tourism industry in the region. Although part of the Antalya province administratively, Kalkan is connected more closely to Fethiye economically and for transportation. British newspaper The Independent listed Kalkan among the best tourist destinations for 2007. The paper recommended Kalkan especially for those seeking a romantic vacation and who do not want to travel far from their home country in Europe, and defined the town as a destination of choice.
Edited mosaic image from Aqua of Antarctica in November of 2020.
Image source: modis.gsfc.nasa.gov/gallery/individual.php?db_date=2020-1...
Original caption: On November 4, 2020, the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) confirmed that Antarctic sea ice extent had reached its seasonal maximum on September 28. Measuring 18.95 square kilometers (7.32 square miles), this maximum extent was the eleventh highest in the satellite record. Between that date and November 4, daylight has lengthened and temperatures crept upward as austral spring advanced, prompting sea ice to begin its annual melt cycle.
According to NSIDC, between September 28 and November 4, Antarctic sea ice has declined by 1.30 million square kilometers (502,000 million square miles, but at a slightly slower rate than average, which means that there is currently a slight increase in the difference between the daily sea ice extent and the 1981 – 2010 average.
On November 23, 2020, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board NASA’s Aqua satellite acquired a true-color image of Antarctica.
Thin black lines have been overlain on the image to mark the edge of the continent. Inside of these lines bright white snow and ice stretch across the frozen land of Antarctica. On the other side, sea ice floats on the deep dark waters of the Southern Ocean. Close to the continent the ice clings to the continent and is known as “fast ice”. Two large ice shelves are easily visible: the Ross Ice Shelf sits near the bottom of the image and the Ronne Ice Shelf lies between the Antarctic Peninsula (left side of the image) and the Weddell Sea. Both ice shelves cling to the coast along West Antarctica. In contrast, fast ice along the curved coast of East Antarctica has begun to visibly melt, leaving open water in many locations.
While fast ice clings to the land and juts out over ocean waters, much of the sea ice surrounding Antarctica is free-floating. Thinner and often made of various sizes of broken bits of ice, sea ice may appear roughened and somewhat dark when viewed from space – a significant contrast with the shiny, smooth, bright appearance of solidly frozen ice of fast ice or ice and snow that cover Antarctica. Carried by currents, sea ice may also create swirls and filigrees over the Southern Ocean.

This daisy had a surprise for any little bug passing bye! The little white spider--barely noticeable--appeared as a daisy petal even from as close as 5-6 inches! I could not make its body parts out (i was not sure if I am shooting its front or back) until I developed the pictures. Because i did not see it clear enough, I took about 100 picture sof it.. so now I have 100 perfectly clear and sharp monsters on my computer hard drive! =) I suppose its mother would think it is cute!
Details: Canon 7D with Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM at f4.0 with shutter speed of 1/1000 at ISO 100 and I had the white balance on manual with an exposure bias of +2/3 EV. I am actually experimenting with white balance now to see what surfaces in what light will need an increase of exposure. I am amazed to find that it is the very light in high sun that need an exposure increase but subjects in the shade, if given an exposure increase, tend to bleach out. I find this counter intuitive... I will have to study up on the matter. =)
I did most of the picture developing in Lightroom 3 and the vignetted cutout in Onone's PhotoTools using a preset (available at OnOne's website). I used CS5 only to convert from TIFF to JPG and add my copyright stuff.
An 18th century grotesque ‘Dinemonyo’ altar table
Estimate: PHP 900,000 - 950,000
Manila
18th century
Wood
84 x 110 x 72 cm (33 x 43 x 28 ½ in)
Made of highly prized indigenous rosewood known as balayong (Afzelia rhomboidea), it has a reddish brown color that tends to darken even more with age, and has a natural luster. Very difficult to work with due to its durability and interlocking grain. The craftsmanship and condition of this table is comparable to similar tables kept in museums and top-notch private collections.
Called colloquially as dinemonyo table, it is one of the most elusive pieces of early Hispano-Filipino furniture, considered arguably as the pinnacle object to many serious furniture collectors and connoisseurs. An authentic example with original members, it is an extremely rare find.
The rectangular paneled top is enclosed by a frame with ice-plate edge to soften the edges and disguise its thickness. Below are two large drawers fitted with umbrella bosses, ornate protective key plates, and O-ring pulls. Reinforced by flanges and aprons with conforming billowing, cloud-like outlines that connect the demonyo masks on all four corners. These finely carved masks have raised fluted top hair, bulging eyes, prominent nose, mouth agape revealing some teeth and fangs, and scrolling facial hair. The cabriole legs show the delineations of a lion’s lower leg before terminating in deep, highly detailed ball and claw foot grasping a ball, resting on round-edged stretchers surmounted on ogee feet. Assembled using ancient Chinese mortise and tenon (closed and through types), as well as dovetail joints that have remained firm and strong.

The Waldensia Coal and Coke Company under took in 1901 an effort to build a large complex to support their coal mining and coke making business. Among the supporting facilities were 80 cottages, a commissary, a hotel, offices, a school*, a post office, a train depot, many coke ovens, a large coal washing facility, and a railroad! It was all completed in 1904.
A sawmill was also constructed to prepare the wood for their building needs, and most of the required logging was done on their own property.
The lake was created by the building of a dam on Mammy’s Creek, where it still stands today. Since the lake and dam are on private property today (2009), you have to view the lake, and falls that cascade over the dam wall, through a large growth of hemlocks. I was told by the owner that someone had recently fallen on the property and was currently suing him over a broken hip. Therefore, “private property” signs have been posted and a fence is being built around the beautiful lake.
I suppose this means that the cool waters of the lake and the shade of the hemlocks will never be freely available to the general public again. Such a shame…why do Americans have to sue so much?

View On Black / Highly Recommended! The bridge owes its name to a wooden "blue bridge" that was there from around 1600 but no longer exists and which was painted the characteristic blue of the Dutch flag. It kept the name after 1883 when it was replaced by the spans of a new bridge which is inspired by the architecture of several of the bridges over the Seine in Paris.
The stone bridge has three openings for ships and is richly decorated. The bases are formed like ships bows and on top columns with leaf-motifs, masks and finally the Imperial Crown of Austria.

The excavations of Pompeii is the only archaeological site in the world, along with that of Herculaneum, capable of returning visitors to a Roman town, whose life has remained firm to a distant morning in 79 AD, an era from which the Vesuvius decided to cancel by earth orbit. The town owes its exceptional state of preservation to the way in which it was buried. Source: www.pompeiturismo.it

The city of Pompeii was an ancient Roman town-city near modern Naples in the Italian region of Campania, in the territory of the comune of Pompei. Pompeii, along with Herculaneum and many villas in the surrounding area, was mostly destroyed and buried under 4 to 6 m (13 to 20 ft) of ash and pumice in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
Researchers believe that the town was founded in the seventh or sixth century BC and was captured by the Romans in 80 BC. By the time of its destruction, 160 years later, its population was probably approximately 20,000, with a complex water system, an amphitheatre, gymnasium and a port. Source: en.wikipedia.org

The buzzword, "Mozart Effect", has been bandied about by popular print and broadcast media. It is featured in parenting, education, and music oriented publications, and in the mainstream general press. While it has renewed interest in classical music education and focused much deserved attention on the general field of childhood development, the phrase has been used to sell music lessons, music products of all kinds, including "Mozart Makes You Smarter" product lines, and frankly, some music education snake-oil.
What's behind this popular "concept"? Where did it originate? What does it really mean? Does listening to Mozart really make you smarter? If so, how? In what way? Is this claim real or just a hype? What to make of it all?
The "Mozart Effect", ultimately, it for the reader to apply critical thinking to sort it all out.
The term "Mozart Effect" arose from the work of University of California at Irvine's formidable team, Dr. Francis Raucher, Dr. Gordon L. Shaw, and their colleagues. Their neuroscience/music studies and their findings have caused quite an impact on related fields and some controversy.

ENGLISH
The Black Swan, Cygnus atratus is a large waterbird which breeds mainly in the southeast and southwest regions of Australia. The Black Swan was formerly placed into a monotypic genus, Chenopis.
‘Swan’ is the common gender term, but ‘cob’ for a male and ‘pen’ for a female are also used, as is ‘cygnet’ for the young. Collective nouns include a ‘bank’ (on the ground) and a ‘wedge’ (in flight). Black Swans can be found singly, or in loose companies numbering into the hundreds or even thousands.
The Black Swan is common in the wetlands of south western and eastern Australia and adjacent coastal islands. In the south west the range ecompasses an area between North West Cape, Cape Leeuwin and Eucla; while in the east it covers are large region bounded by the Atherton Tableland, the Eyre Peninsula and Tasmania, with the Murray Darling Basin supporting very large populations of Black Swans.
The Black Swan is also very popular as an ornamental waterbird in Western Europe, especially Britain, and escapes are commonly reported. As yet the population in Britain is not considered to be self-sustaining and so the species is not afforded admission to the official British List, but the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust have recorded a maximum of nine breeding pairs in the UK in 2001, with an estimate of 43 feral birds in 2003/04 (though that is undoubtedly an under-estimate given the level of monitoring undertaken).
The black swan was a literary or artistic image, even before the discovery of Cygnus atratus. Cultural reference has been based on symbolic contrast and as a distinctive motif. The Black Swan's role in Australian heraldry and culture extends to the first founding of the colonies in the eighteenth century. It has often been equated with antipodean identity, the contrast to the white swan of the northern hemisphere indicating 'Australianess'. The black swan is featured on the flag, and is both the state and bird emblem, of Western Australia; it also appears in the Coat of Arms and other iconography of the state's institutions.
The reclaimed wetlands of the river Foix estuary have made this area into one of the main attractions of the town. The River Foix, which is dry during most of the year due to construction of the Foix Resservoir is another of the most emblematic places in Cubelles. At the Foix estuary, you can spend the day enjoying nature and birthwatching, or at one of the picnic areas. This zone is also intended for school visits, as it is a place where children can study the ecosystem of a Mediterranean river such as the Foix.
The estuary is separated from the sea by a sand barrier which has accumulated over time, due to sea currents and rainwater sediments, forming freshwater laguens behind the barrier. The natural area of the Foix Delta has a branch of land that sticks out into the sea. This was formed during the floods of 1994 and joins onto another branch, leaving an island in the middle. Tourists can visit the island by crossing a wooden footbridge.

CASTELLANO
El cisne negro, Cygnus atratus es endémico de Australia. Es común al este y oeste de este continente, no estando presente la parte árida central y del húmeda del norte. Es residente en Tasmania, criando en esta isla situada al sur de Australia.
No es migratoria pero se desplaza a grandes distancias, cientos de kilómetros, en busca de abundancia de alimento.
Introducido en Nueva Zelanda, donde se reprodujo de tal forma, que hubo que controlarlo. Actualmente existen unos 60.000 individuos.
Fue descubierto en 1697, y ha sido el favorito de los estanques ornamentales de Europa, y posteriormente de América. Pero no se ha asilvestrado en estos continentes.
Vive en lagos, incluyendo la costa marina y ocasionalmente en el mar lejos de tierra. Demuestra preferencia por los lagos pocos profundos, donde puede alcanzar la vegetación acuática del fondo, sumergiendo su cuello, aproximadamente de un metro de profundidad.
La recuperación de los espacios húmedos de la desembocadura del río Foix ha convertido la zona en una de las de mayor atractivo del municipio. El río Foix -que desde la construcción del pantano del Foix está la mayor parte del año seco- es otro de los elementos más emblemáticos de los cubellenses. En la desembocadura del Foix, además de poder pasar un día rodeado de la Naturaleza, se puede observar el comportamiento de las aves autóctonas de esta zona o disfrutar de las áreas de picnic. El espacio también está dirigido a las escuelas, que pueden visitar y estudiar el ecosistema de un río mediterráneo, como es el del Foix.
Su desembocadura está separada del mar por una barrera de arena acumulada por las corrientes marítimas y los depósitos pluviales, formando lagunas de agua dulce en su interior. El Espacio Natural del Delta del Foix, mantiene el brazo de salida al mar que se formó por las riadas de 1994, a la que se ha añadido un segundo brazo dejando una isla en el medio, conectada con la zona de entretenimiento a través de unas pasarelas de madera. Otra pasarela de madera sobre uno de los brazos del río, sirve de punto de observación del desarrollo natural de la desembocadura del Foix.

A visit to the Museo Etrusco on the Via Don Giovanni Minzoni in Volterra. Was a lot of Etruscan and Roman artifacts here. Also a back garden.
The Guarnacci museum is one of oldest public museums of Europe: it began in 1761 when the noble abbot Mario Guarnacci (Volterra 1701-1785) gave its enormous archaeological heritage, collected over years of research and purchases, to the "public of the city of Volterra".
The current disposition and location of materials demonstrate Maffei’s positivistic impact, with items separated by classes and the urns distinguished according to the theme of the bas-relief on the case. While respecting the historic memory of this arrangement, an attempt was made, in recent times, to associate it with another, more didactic, chronological tour inside the exhibition itself, able to conduct the visitor through the long history of the Etruscan Velathri.
The Guarnacci Etruscan Museum is located in via Don Minzoni in Volterra , and contains one of the most beautiful collections of Etruscan art.
In 1776 the canon of the cathedral of Volterra Pietro Franceschini found near the Etruscan necropolis of the Portone a hypogeum of considerable size dating back to the Hellenistic period, containing forty Etruscan urns, which in 1777 donated to the town of Volterra . This donation was the first nucleus of the Civic Museum which soon collected many other works found in the surroundings of Volterra and which until then had been kept in private collections of noblemen from Volterra.
Among the various donations, the most important and most important was that of Monsignor Mario Guarnacci ( 1701 - 1785 ), a wealthy priest who promoted numerous archaeological excavation campaigns, which on 15 September 1761 donated his entire collection to the newborn museum. He was named after the museum that in over two centuries of history has increased its heritage thanks to numerous excavation campaigns promoted by the Superintendency of Antiquities of Etruria.
The first seat of the museum was Palazzo Ruggeri, home of Guarnacci, later it was transferred first to some halls of the town hall and then from 1877 in the Desideri-Tangassi palace, the current headquarters.
The first Prefect and Librarian of the Guarnacci Museum is the Roman abbot Francesco Ballani , well-known librettist of his time, who was succeeded by Giuseppe Cailli in 1805 until his death in 1810 . Francesco Inghirami ( 1772 - 1846 ) occupied this position from 1810 until 1815 .
I didn't take much inside of the museum, only what took my interest at the time. Was mostly all the same kind of things from the Etruscan period.
On the floor in the middle of the building I didn't get more than these two sculptures. There was rooms with Roman tiles on the floors under raised walkways, and more sarcophagus!
L'Ombra della Sera - apparently somebody used to used this as a back scratcher until they realised how old it was!
The Shadow of the Evening
The bronze comes from the antiques market and was part of the collection at least since 1737 by Filippo Buonarroti in Florence. Since the work certainly comes from Volterra. Mario Guarnacci, the founder of the homonymous Museum where it is now preserved, acquired by exchange or purchase, around 1750.

" A stainless steel construction emerges from the site like a figurative officer's shield and carries the badge numbers and names of police killed in the line of duty. One plane floats as an overhead bar while another follows the incline of the earth. The plane above casts a rectangular shadow across the broad asphalt steps, recalling the mourning bar worn on police badges when an officer is lost. Within this shadow the badge numbers of fallen officers are illuminated, projected by the rays of the sun. The removed stainless numerals, like reversed stencils. are mounted and given to the officers' families." ~ from record architects site

I rarely make a "political" comment but this just makes me crazy. Yes, reform is needed but even more critical is the need for people to stand up and take responsibility for their lifestyle and health-style choices. If you smoke, stop. If you are overweight and out of shape, diet and exercise. If you want to have multiple partners, use commonsense. Don't drink and drive. Excessive drinking will destroy you. Don't do drugs. Fast food is not a section on the food pyramid. Stop looking for the miracle pill to fix all your problems! Most of our health related problems in this country are self-induced. Wake up people and be personally responsible! You don't require any kind of government legislation to get up off your butt and get your act together. No obstacle is so unsurmountable if you take it in small pieces.
President Kennedy said, "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." I offer this variation: "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for yourself!"
My friend Scott Phillips made a movie called The Stink of Flesh, and a few months ago he asked me to give a copy of it to Craig Ferguson (for reasons that are explained below). I have to say, this seemed like a strange request, since I live on the opposite side of the country from the guy, and it's not like we hang out together or anything. But, maybe this wasn't such a crazy request, because I did give him a copy tonight, when he was signing books after the book reading.
Me: I wanted to give you this DVD. My friend wrote and directed this movie.
Craig: Is it a zombie movie?
Me: It is.
Craig: I love zombie movies!
Me: I know! And apparently you had someone on the show and you were talking about zombie poop...
Craig: About whether zombies poop?
Me: Yes! And this movie has zombie poop in it!
Craig: Well thank you for that. And thank you for culturally elevating the evening.
Then he smiled like he was kind of teasing me, but he also seemed sincerely pleased about it. I don't even remember what I said next. I hope I said "I hope you enjoy it" or "You're welcome" but I probably said something kind of nonsensical like "thank you." I was so nervous I forgot to tell him I think he's hilarious!
29 october 2006
not so successful dog class yesterday.
still taking matea weekly to classes to help her overcome her fear issues...and to improve my handling skills when around other dogs.
because her issue with other dogs is based on fear (thank you dog parks!), my trainer is trying to convince me to not come down on matea for attempting to go for a dog, but instead to work on her focus on me (which i totally have unless a dominant dog comes along) and that if an incident DOES occur that i'm to work on 'recovery' more than anything. for instance, when matea wouldn't take shit from cheryl (the trainer)'s jack russell some weeks ago and went for the little tart, cheryl simply pulled matea off, held her for three seconds by the beard, and then - in a very happy voice - said: "okay, let's play!"
at the time, i didn't feel that was enough. matea is a black and white dog. she NEEDS extreme positive AND negative for her to understand definitions and boundaries. i learned this early on in my training with her, when eight months of positive-only training got me nothing but a dog requiring constant food-lures...but when outdoors or otherwise distracted, let me tell you, a bleeding strip of sirloin ain't gonna capture her attention.
she's a wirehaired pointer. i talk to other GWP owners on a group, and i hear over and over again that these are not typical dogs, that they aren't the kind of dog most trainers are accustomed to. i'm tending to agree.
so...yesterday, i was at class, on the bench at the far side of the classroom, getting treats ready, when in comes this nitwit woman (i won't speak of race because i'll only come across as racist...but suffice it to say, she was in her own world with her own language, and was utterly oblivious to others in the class)...well, in fact, it wasn't her coming in...it was her dog hauling her in...a chow cross, i heard her say to someone else, but it looked like a chow/jindo dog...tall, muscular, 1 1/2 times matea's size, tail erect and clearly dominant. (in fact, i saw his dominance very clearly at the end of class with another dog.) he barges through the door, dragging his owner behind him, at the end of his 6' leash, making a diagonal, bee-line right for matea across the classroom. even one of the regular students (a woman who helps with a LOT of the training classes and has a lot of respect for matea) told me afterwards that she couldn't believe what was going on. AND she said that her rottie, too, perked up the second the dog blasted into class because of its attitude.
the owner - completely in her own oblivious, self-absorbed, ignorant world - didn't even seem to notice, or care, that her dog had practically charged matea and was on her ass. the most i could do was stand and try to push the dog away. i should have been more forceful. i should have said something to the woman beforehand, but i don't want to make waves in the class.
still, the dipshit didn't even notice, and the dog was dragged away only slightly because she was trying to make her way to the bench to ready herself for class. it was at that point that matea lunged. yes, i caught her in time. in fact, the rottie-handler (after class) praised me for my handling of the situation.
but here's the thing... my gut reaction is to put matea down, to make sure she knows - without a doubt - that lunging at dogs, regardless of the dog, is NOT appropriate. a three-second censure, get her attention on me, show her my disapproval, and THEN focus on recovery. but no....cheryl swoops in, all positive and happy, trying - with great difficulty - to draw matea's attention from the other dog. she'a fucking GWP!!! no WAY is ANYONE or ANYTHING getting her attention off that 'threat' in any manner. i know she's a dog...i know a lot of her character is not unique, but i've yet to find a trainer who's actually had experience with this breed and its drives. and let me tell you, it IS a drive unlike any other.
my legs were shaking, i felt like crying, and i just wanted to leave. of course, the oblivious owner quickly moved to the other side of the classroom like *I* was the only one with an out-of-control dog. and then, even as i was trying to work with matea, to regain her focus in spite of the other dog's presence, the dipshit STILL continued to ignore her dog. it sat behind her (yes, her back turned to her own dog), its leash lying on the floor, again completely oblivious. the dog would have been on top of matea before the woman ever even realized he'd broken his stay.
i'm angry. i'm disappointed. i'm seeing matea acting out more in class, not less. i need to talk to cheryl, to hopefully convince her that, in spite of her years of experience, she HASN'T seen everything, that she hasn't worked with every kind of dog....and to maybe convince her that i might just know more in regards to my GWP.
seriously, as much as i adore cesar millan, if he offered to take matea for a period of time, i wouldn't let him. i feel that although he and others are obviously FAR more experienced than i am, they don't know this kind of dog...that even though matea's never hurt another dog, most trainers would underestimate her potential to do so, they would underestimate her drive to make a point. so....i need to sit down with cheryl again, see if anything can be done. in the meantime, i hold back my tears and love this dog in spite of the dangerous potential i know lies within her.
oh, and i also intend to discuss with cheryl that she consider addressing her students (current and future) on the proper way to bring dogs into any facility....pack leader first, goddammit. of the dogs that matea has had issue with, they're ALL the ones who drag their owners through the front door.
sorry for the dump. i guess the thing that sucks the most about this is that if not for this dog-issue of matea's, in spite of my fantastic imagination, i could NOT imagine a more perfect dog and best friend.

This was an incredible old real-ale pub owned by the equally extraordinary Mrs Davies (who has now sadly passed away) until just a couple of years ago.
She was well into her eighties when this photograph was taken, and had grown up in Melbourne Australia, where her father was a racehorse trainer.
She inherited this pub when she was a little younger, and simply decided to come over to Wales to run it.
Absolutely nothing inside had changed since the 1930's,,,and the beer was just as good as then too, I've little doubt.
If you look at this photograph in "original" size, and look at the left hand side of the frame, you can just about see Mrs Davies in an even older framed photograph, hanging on the wall.
The guy sitting next to my wife is Genadii Dubayev, the Chechen novelist, who now teaches at The Sorbonne in Paris.
We were privileged to have him visit us over that Christmas and New Year (2002-03).
He's also a mean hand with an old vintage Leica out of the true Cartier Bresson mould.
If you should ever run into him however,,,don't let him challenge you to a Vodka drinking competition.
A genuine "Extreme Sport", at which you will certainly lose,,,but big-time, as I did (that is if you're a "normal" human being,,,and not somebody from Chechnya).

U2- City of Blinding lights
The more you see the less you know
The less you find out as you go
I knew much more then than I do now
Neon heart day-glow eyes
A city lit by fireflies
They're advertising in the skies
For people like us
And I miss you when you're not around
I'm getting ready to leave the ground
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights
Don't look before you laugh
Look ugly in a photograph
Flash bulbs purple irises
The camera can't see
I've seen you walk unafraid
I've seen you in the clothes you made
Can you see the beauty inside of me?
What happened to the beauty I had inside of me?
(cut)
And I miss you when you're not around
I'm getting ready to leave the ground
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights
Time...time...time...time...time
Won't leave me as I am
But time won't take the boy out of this man
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights
The more you know the less you feel
Some pray for others steal
Blessings are not just for the ones who kneel... luckily

5.Deci a venit la o cetate a Samariei, numită Sihar, aproape de locul pe care Iacov l-a dat lui Iosif, fiul său;
6.Şi era acolo fântâna lui Iacov. Iar Iisus, fiind ostenit de călătorie, S-a aşezat lângă fântână şi era ca la al şaselea ceas.
7.Atunci a venit o femeie din Samaria să scoată apă. Iisus i-a zis: Dă-Mi să beau.
8.Căci ucenicii Lui se duseseră în cetate, ca să cumpere merinde.
9.Femeia samarineancă I-a zis: Cum Tu, care eşti iudeu, ceri să bei de la mine, care sunt femeie samarineancă? Pentru că iudeii nu au amestec cu samarinenii.
10.Iisus a răspuns şi i-a zis: Dacă ai fi ştiut darul lui Dumnezeu şi Cine este Cel ce-ţi zice: Dă-Mi să beau, tu ai fi cerut de la El, şi ţi-ar fi dat apă vie.
11.Femeia I-a zis: Doamne, nici găleată nu ai, şi fântâna e adâncă; de unde, dar, ai apa cea vie?
12.Nu cumva eşti Tu mai mare decât părintele nostru Iacov, care ne-a dat această fântână şi el însuşi a băut din ea şi fiii lui şi turmele lui?
13.Iisus a răspuns şi i-a zis: Oricine bea din apa aceasta va înseta iarăşi;
14.Dar cel ce va bea din apa pe care i-o voi da Eu nu va mai înseta în veac, căci apa pe care i-o voi da Eu se va face în el izvor de apă curgătoare spre viaţă veşnică.

4 Jesus had to go through Samaria. 5 He came to a Samaritan city called Sychar, which was near the land Jacob had given to his son Joseph. 6 Jacob’s well was there. Jesus was tired from his journey, so he sat down at the well. It was about noon.
7 A Samaritan woman came to the well to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me some water to drink.” 8 His disciples had gone into the city to buy him some food.
9 The Samaritan woman asked, “Why do you, a Jewish man, ask for something to drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (Jews and Samaritans didn’t associate with each other.)
10 Jesus responded, “If you recognized God’s gift and who is saying to you, ‘Give me some water to drink,’ you would be asking him and he would give you living water.”
11 The woman said to him, “Sir, you don’t have a bucket and the well is deep. Where would you get this living water? 12 You aren’t greater than our father Jacob, are you? He gave this well to us, and he drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock.”
13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks from the water that I will give will never be thirsty again. The water that I give will become in those who drink it a spring of water that bubbles up into eternal life.”
15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I will never be thirsty and will never need to come here to draw water!”
AGL Torrens Island Power Station, South Australia, taken from Adelaide Brighton Cement 4 km from the power station. No. 29 Berth (common user) in the centre and No. 27 Berth (bulk grain loader) on the right. The ABB bulk grain loading facility has travelling loading booms with spouts and potential gross loading rate for wheat of 1450 tph.
Torrens Island Power Station was built as a fuel oil-fired power station designed to burn residual fuel oil from Port Stanvac refinery with plans to convert to coal a few years after completion of A station. However, in 1970 the decision was made to convert to gas instead - a wise decision in hindsight. The station still occasionally burns fuel oil when gas is in high demand or required interstate.
I never used to drink coffee. After I moved to Guelph a few years ago I tried it. Then I tried our local Planet Bean Coffee...... and it was all over. I now buy freshly roasted coffee every week or so.... and grind it in my new burr grinder right before I brew it in my french press. I have somehow become a coffee snob. Never saw it coming.
A bonus of drinking Planet Bean coffee is that it is Fair Trade and Organic!
Camera: Nikon D700 [ISO 200]:[5s] Lens:135mm 2.8 AIS [f4]
Strobist: SB900 @ 17mm 1/8th power, into 28" wescott softbox camera right. Used a whiteboard to attempt to reflect some of the light back to left side of subject.
Triggered by PWII's.
After the flash went off, I used a small pen flashlight and made quick circles in the air during the remainder of the 5 second exposure. I kind of like this one because the "halo" is all messed up. it sure is hard to draw a straight line while reaching over your setup in the dark. single exposure, no photoshop editing.
Il paganello 2010
Il solito freddo da lupi, anche se da questa foto non sembrerebbe.
Poco tempo, quest'anno, da dedicare all'evento.
Condizioni meteorologiche critiche. Instabilità, sopra e dentro.
Le solite conferme di un evento che arriva ti prende e ti porta via... lasciandoti un martedì in cui puoi solo scrivere, guardare e ricordare, cercare e rielaborare.
Mi accadeva quando ci giocavo, ci lavoravo.
Ma accade anche oggi, che sono un mero utente di questo pezzo di vita.
Accade anche a chi, come me, non è dentro se non con lo spirito, e non ne succhia il midollo come andrebbe fatto in occasioni del genere.
Ma insomma, pur situato ai margini di un evento che concentra su una spiaggia l'eterogeneità del mondo, assistere al paganone è sempre bello. E' sempre una possibilità.
L'effetto del passaggio è questo. Da sempre.
Il Paganello è in grado di mettermi quella bella malinconia addosso. Ed è in grado di metterla prima che finisca, a volte, come quest'anno, prima che inizi. Ho convissuto con la malinconia da fine torneo da qualche giorno prima dell'inizio. Quando il rombo dei motori è talmente alto, prima della partenza, che non esiste altro, se non l'imminente welcome party.
Perché il paganello è troppo per quel poco tempo che dura.
O forse è il giusto, giacché le pause e l'aspettativa sono forse più importanti dell'azione che precedono.
Comunque, rivedere Thusar è stato fantastico ed assistere a quel mondo libero e semplice, pure.
Quest'anno, una novità fotografica.
Fra le foto standard del torneo, cercherò di raccontare il paganello 2010 pure con qualche ritratto, senza menzionare nell'immagine quel disco di plastica dura. Vediamo cosa ne uscirà fuori.
Ah, per chi non sapesse di cosa parlo
act on your impulse, swallow the bottle, cut a little deeper, put the gun to your chest.
i've been sitting around my house doing nothing for hours. i don't know why but i felt so tight inside, and i told my mom i was going out to take some photos just because. and the strange thing is, i felt so good just going out here and taking some shots. it really made me feel open. maybe that's what photography is supposed to do.
i took this for me. i don't know how you feel about it, but i love it.
and just because i love doing this, and getting these here is the form. i wanna know what you have to say.

Part of a brief series of photos on the Rozanji, a temple credited as one of the places where Murakami Shikibu wrote, exactly a thousands years ago, the Genji monogatari. The house of his father, the courtier Fujiwara Tametoki, was here and, if not the building, this could be the place she was refering to as "home" when wrote in her Diary (as translated by Richard Bowring):
"What on earth are you doing in such cold weather?" asked His Excellency. "You are meant to be convalescing!" Nevertheless he brought her exquisite paper brushes and ink from time to time, an even an inkstone. When the women found out that Her Majesty had given it to me, they all complained loudly that I had obtained it by going behind their backs. Despite this, she made me another present of some excellent colored paper and some brushes.
Then, while I was busy in attendance, His Excellency sneaked into my room and found the copy of the Tale that I had had brought from home for safe-keeping. It seems that he gave the whole thing to his second daughter. I no longer had the fair copy in my possession and was sure that the version she had would hurt my reputation.
As the setsubun festivities were taking place, the garden was closed the day we payed our visit, but this man we made friends with managed to get us in there after a few words with the monks. Once there, he pointed out to the room at the corner, left side here, and said it was there where Murasaki Shikibu began writing her masterwork, while looking at the garden (now called Genji niwa, id est Genji's Garden). Oviously an exageration (the temple was rebuilt after the Great Fire of 1788) but the experience was moving all the same. And, after all, if not exactly there, it could be a few meters from there, huh?
