From the farmer's market folks
Fava Beans with Prosciutto
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons minced prosciutto
1 teaspoons minced garlic
1-1/2 pounds fresh fava beans in the pod, shelled, parboiled, and peeled (yields 1 cup of fava beans)
1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the prosciutto and sauté for 1 minute. Add the garlic and sauté, stirring constantly, until mixture is fragrant and just beginning to turn brown, another 1 to 2 minutes.
Add the fava beans, season with salt and sauté until the beans are heated and coated well with the pan contents, another 2 minutes. (Some of the beans will begin to turn a lighter color.)
Add the balsamic vinegar, turn off the heat, and stir to coat. Add the mint and stir to combine and wilt it.
Additional Comments: TIP: Fava beans have two protective layers: a pod with a soft, furry lining; and a tough skin around each bean. Popping the beans out of the pod is obvious. Unless the beans are very young, they need to be peeled before using.
To remove the skin, boil the beans briefly, about a minute, cool under running water, and pinch the loose skin off with your fingers.

Matthiessen Bridge View on black.
I went up to Matthiessen State Park again yesterday - to see the park in the Spring - in all of it's flooded glory - and it didn't disappoint. I spent most of the day standing in cold water lugging around gear and could not have been happier.
I started just after sunrise at the south end of the Dells portion of the park - trying to get to the Wishing Well and the big falls there. The river, 10-15 feet in that valley last November, was at least 40 feet across now and three-to-four feet deep. It was slippery, muddy and very slow going. I think a small inflatable boat and a very watertight bag are going to have to be pursued for next spring.
This is the view from the long footbridge over the river, looking south.

The Castle and Clan Donald Centre near Ardvasar has some beautiful grounds. Armadale Castle is a fascinating ruin. Plus it has beautiful gardens behind it and a HUGE lawn area between it and the Sound of Sleat.
The Clan Donald established itself on Skye in the 15th century, occupying castles at Dunscaith and Knock, both within a few miles of Armadale, and Duntulm Castle at the north end of the island.
From the 1650s, the MacDonald chiefs also began to stay at Armadale. From the 1700s onwards, the mansion house at Armadale was used as a dower house (a large home occupied by the widow of a late owner or chief) and then rented out to others.
A number of famous historical figures have visited Armadale over the years. Flora MacDonald, famed throughout the world for helping Bonnie Prince Charlie to flee Scotland after the Jacobites' defeat at Culloden, was married here on 6 November 1750. Samuel Johnson and James Boswell visited in 1773.
Around 1790, a new mansion house was built at Armadale and this, combined with the start of the plantings you see around the gardens today, became a real demonstration of the wealth and lifestyle of the landed aristocracy.
In 1815, the mansion house was extended to form Armadale Castle, designed by the renowned architect James Gillespie Graham. In 1855, fire destroyed much of the original house, which was replaced by the current central section (designed by David Bryce). In 1925, the MacDonald family moved to a smaller house leaving the castle to the wind and rain.
Today, the Gillespie Graham section is a sculptured ruin and garden with the staircase and facade often used for wedding ceremonies. Housed in what remains of the original mansion, dating from around 1790, the Somerled Rooms offer a unique conference and wedding facility.

And the mummy bear turned to the daddy bear and said: "Has that bloody Tracey Emin been sleeping in our bed again!"
Some months ago I started taking pictures of the impressions left by people's bodies in sofa's, chairs etc and started calling these sofa dunes.
Not long after I started doing this I started experimenting with other impressions left by people; especially those in beds. I called these bed dunes. Over the last few months I have amassed a small collection - most of which I am not very satisfied with.
For want of a better term I started referring to these collectively as body dunes. I'm sure that someone else is already doing this and producing much much better results - so if there is a generic adopted term for these impressions please let me know. I did search for relevant Flickr groups but didn't find any; but I'm probably searching for the wrong thing; even though I did try quite a few varied searches. Please let me know ... else I'll have to start one.

Eso es lo que dicen los informativos, que estamos afectados por una masa de aire siberiano. Lo llevan anunciando desde hace días como si el infierno fuese a caer sobre nosotros. Yo simplemento lo llamo invierno. Que ya tocaba. ¿Que hace frío? Pues nada, abrigo, gorro y bufanda.
Como solía decir mi difunto abuelo: "Es fred mata es cuc, es fred és salut", en otras palabras, el mejor insecticida natural que existe.

Los primeros exploradores noruegos
La costa noruega es larga y accidentada, y los fiordos se adentran mucho en el interior del país. Desde épocas lejanas, las vistas y el sonido del mar han atraído a sus habitantes. Sin embargo, el aprovechamiento de la tierra fue siempre muy escaso para ellos. Cuando labraban sus pequeñas tierras, los más jóvenes se maravillaban al alzar la vista hacia el horizonte, hacia el mar que no sólo les podría abastecer con más comida sino que también les podría llevar a tierras más ricas y a climas más cálidos.
Noruega ha tenido arriesgados exploradores en tiempos prehistóricos, pero sus historias nunca se han contado. Hasta que aparecieron las primeras historias, no hay ningún relato de sus primeros descubrimientos, e incluso después de que la gente comenzara a dejar constancia de sus viajes, hay pocas menciones de sus primeras aventuras en tierras desconocidas.
Durante la Edad Media, la Iglesia (el único poder unificador en Europa después de la caída del Imperio Romano) hizo poco para estimular el espíritu aventurero e investigador. El concepto geográfico del mundo se basaba estrictamente en la Biblia. La Iglesia desaprobaba descubrimientos que pudieran poner en tela de juicio sus creencias, o inspirar a la gente para que cuestionara antiguos dogmas. Pero en la Noruega no cristiana, la gente estaba ansiosa de descubrir nuevas tierras. Había poco que cultivar entre las montañas escarpadas y la gran cantidad de lagos y fiordos. Aunque el tráfico costero era común para ese pueblo de marineros, no fueron capaces de explorar nuevas tierras hasta que sus embarcaciones consiguieran adecuarse al mar abierto. Este problema se solventó con el desarrollo de los barcos vikingos. Estas embarcaciones con proa alta, veloces y elegantes podían navegar con remos o con velas. Además, la construcción ancha y plana del casco permitía a las tripulaciones arrastrar los barcos para desembarcar tanto en las orillas de los ríos como en la costa, haciendo posible adentrarse en el interior. Así, hacia el 800 d.C., los Vikingos se encaminaron desde sus fiordos en busca de tierras y botines y, sin duda también, de aventuras y fama. Fueron de los pocos pueblos que en el mundo medieval se aventuró fuera de su territorio.

As I was driving home last night, Lake Okanagan was remarkably calm. There was no wind to speak of. Conditions were perfect to take this shot, so I did, even though I was risking getting locked into the park overnight. Very glad I stopped. Kind of thinking this should have been my day 29 submission instead of the artistic nude. Oh well.

Depuis le 3 Octobre, plus de 200 familles dorment dans la rue de la Banque pour protester contre l'absence de logements décents. Français ou immigrés en situation régulière, tous travaillent mais vivent dans des conditions déplorables: le plus souvent à l'hôtel, ou dans des appartements minuscules, parfois menacés d'expulsion.
Le 14 Décembre, le campement de la rue de la Banque a pris fin: un accord a été signé avec le Ministère pour reloger, sous différentes modalités et délais, l'ensemble des familles. Après l'annonce officielle par Jean-Baptiste Eyraud, président du DAL, une fête a été organisée rue de la Banque, en présence de Emmanuelle Béart, Josiane Balasko, Guy Bedos et le maire du 2e. Vers 20h, l'ensemble du campement (bâches, matels, etc.) a été démonté, dans la joie et le soulagement des familles, et aussi un peu de tristesse à se séparer.

Dreamweaver y Flash son las herramientas más utilizadas en casi el 100% de los proyectos de diseño Web debido a sus múltiples ventajas y características que sería ya demás comentar. Pero el tema de acceso a datos con ambas herramientas es una característica que se puede implementar sin complejidades y el propósito de este libro es indicar como hacerlo, ya sea empleando tecnología PHP o ASP.NET a bases de datos MySQL o SQL Server o simplemente a archivos XML
En el desarrollo del libro se trabaja con dos tecnologías bastante populares como son PHP y ASP.NET y se examinan los conceptos básicos de bases de datos y su implementación con MySQL y SQL Server que la mayoría de hosting proporciona. Se diagrama la página con Dreamweaver para una aplicación PHP empleando estilos CSS. Si bien Dreamweaver se presta bastante a desarrollar con PHP. Visual Studio .Net 2008 es la herramienta ideal para desarrollar un proyecto ASP.NET explicándose en el libro como diagramar con CSS empleando las herramientas de Visual Studio.
Actionscript de Flash nos permitirá acceder remotamente a aplicaciones PHP y ASP.NET que se conectarán a bases de datos.
Adicionalmente en el CD que acompaña al libro se complementará con temas adicionales que ampliarán el contenido del libro.
"Soundscapes & Sound Identities"
7th international FKL symposium on soundscape
VII SIMPOSIO INTERNAZIONALE SUL PAESAGGIO SONORO

Portobeseno festival 2015 e il Forum Klanglandschaft (FKL), Forum Europeo per il Paesaggio Sonoro, presentano il VII Simposio Internazionale FKL sul Paesaggio Sonoro.
Il simposio sarà ospitato nel castello di Beseno nei giorni 22-24 maggio 2015 e prevede la presenza di decine di ricercatori, musicisti e artisti provenienti da tutto il mondo.
La selezione dei partecipanti è avvenuta tramite un bando internazionale che ha raccolto oltre 180 proposte suddivise in conferenze, installazioni sonore, video, audio performance.
Il tema proposto per il simposio internazionale FKL 2015 riguarda il rapporto tra i suoni che ci circondano e il concetto di identità.
I luoghi, gli abitanti, ma anche i tempi e le diverse pratiche di comunicazione comportano in maniera inevitabile una molteplicità di identità sonore. Con questo tema si vuol proporre una suggestione trasversale a tutte le discipline della scienza e dell’arte che, ognuna secondo il proprio modo di ascoltare, di sollevare i problemi e di dare risposte, si interessano degli aspetti sonori del paesaggio e della relazione con chi in esso abita.
Ospitando “Soundscape & Sound Identies”, il festival Portobeseno offre un'occasione per confrontarsi e stimolare la riflessione intorno al tema dell’identità sonora, per dialogare all'interno della comunità acustica e per offrire una panoramica sugli studi e sulle ricerche sonore internazionali.

“Soundscapes & Sound Identities” is the theme of the seventh international symposium on soundscape organized by the FKL (Forum Klanglandschaft)
The symposium is hosted by the festival Portobeseno 2015.
There exists doubtlessly an acoustic identity of places, even in those which, due to the increasing uniformity of the contemporary world, end up being “non-places”; acoustic identity may appear standardized, but is nevertheless present.
The term “acoustic climate” is often used in environmental physics in defining the parameters and quantitative data which characterize an acoustic environment, obviously this term inevitably hints at an idea of identity linked to its measurable aspects.
Bioacoustics and ecology deal with, among other things, the way the acoustic environment, the specific sonic utterances and hearing characteristics of living species represent the identity of a given species, and the way they co-exist and live together.
PORTOBESENO
Il progetto culturale Portobeseno è nato nel 2004 e si occupa di archivi multimediali 2.0, progetti artistici e laboratori creativi aventi per oggetto il territorio, il paesaggio e la memoria individuale e collettiva. I progetti traggono spunto da interviste narrative, ricerche etnografiche, laboratori didattici rivolti alle scuole, da riflessioni sulla memoria orale e sulla conoscenza concreta del territorio, dall’esplorazione dei paesaggi sonori, dalle loro possibili relazioni con il web attraverso lo sviluppo di cartografie virtuali, blog creativi, geoblog, progetti sociali per la Rete. Tali progetti confluiscono nel festival “Portobeseno, viaggio tra fonti storiche e sorgenti web” che produce spettacoli (dal teatro ai concerti di musica elettroacustica) e installazioni multimediali originali e innovative. Il festival Portobeseno propone inoltre riflessioni sui diritti d’autore, la condivisione creativa e sulla percezione del territorio tra reale e virtuale, dalla scoperta di un sentiero nei boschi alla navigazione virtuale offerta da Internet.
Portobeseno è curato da Davide Ondertoller e Sara Maino.
La commissione scientifica di SOUNDSCAPES & SOUND IDENTITIES è composta da: Stefano Zorzanello; Caroline Profanter; Hanke Haun; Lorenz Schwarz; Francesco Michi; Albert Mayr per FKL e Sara Maino per PORTOBESENO.
La commissione artistica è composta da: Gabriele Proy; Francesco Michi; Caroline Profanter; Bernadette Johnson; Mechi Cena; Stefano Zorzanello per FKL e da Sara Maino per PORTOBESENO
I recently purchased my first lens with VR. I bought it to replace one that I broke. Note to self: don’t let your *#@$&% tripod fall over with your camera on it. Going into further detail would just make me feel like a jackass. Anyway, this is one of my first attempts at shooting handheld using the VR. I’m one of those photographers who has a tripod surgically attached at the hip, so this is a stretch for me. The bumblebees were buzzing around the first open blooms on the bluebells, so I thought I would take a shot at it. I must say, I was fairly impressed. I took several shots, and the bees were in sharp focus in most of them. It was fascinating to watch them as they crawled inside the few bluebell blooms that were completely open.
Ecocentro Danaus (<-- video) is located a couple miles east of La Fortuna Costa Rica. It's a fairly small reserve, 600 meters of walking trails, but boy, do they pack a LOT in such a small area. Danaus was created about 13 years ago when some forward thinking people decided it might be better to grow life than cut it down. Danaus is like a mini oasis since it's completely surrounded by pasture and cattle land. Here's what Ecocentro Danaus says about itself: 'Ecocentro Danaus is an ecological reserve that preserves a natural regenerating secondary forest. Many different biological processes take place here and there is a great biodiversity of flora and fauna in its natural state.'Danaus is worth a look if your in the La Fortuna area and you need something to do for a couple hours.

Stirling
Beautiful village in the Adelaide Hills
Located only 18 km from Adelaide via the South Eastern Freeway, Stirling is a village and district of extraordinary charm. In many ways it captures the essence of the Adelaide Hills. Being quite unlike the typical Australian town it is middle class in temper, European in vegetation, and Mediterranean in its ambience.
The township came into existence as a very conscious act of real estate selling. In 1854 Peter Prankerd, a close friend of the South Australian politician, Edward Stirling, laid out the town (he named it after his friend) and on 27 February, 1854 the firm of Samson, Wicksteed & Co auctioned the lots with the advertisement that the area 'approximated to the spring temperature of our native land'.
At the time Stirling had natural advantages as the area around it was ideal for market gardening and orchards and the route running through the village was the main road through the Adelaide Hills.
Today Stirling is by-passed by the South Eastern Freeway. Consequently it has been left as a delightful, elegant small village in the hills
My dad moved with his mom and new stepfather to Santa Fe in 1933, when he was nine. Eventually they moved into this house, on Don Gaspar, about a mile south of the Capital. At the time, it was the southernmost house in Santa Fe. According to him, he could see all the way to Albuquerque.
My dad was lucky~
My grandfather didn't believe in owning things, especially real estate. So he never bought this house, and, eventually the Reeds didn't live there, anymore.
The house is still there. The last time I drove by, about four years ago, it was the least fixed-up house in what is probably a multi-million dollar neighborhood. I always wanted to get it back, but not so much, anymore. Still, something in me really loves this house. It's a beautiful house.
Scanned from one of many old tiny but exquisite black and white photos that somebody in my family took. I'm slowly contemplating the idea of rescanning this photo at a higher resolution and digitally editing it very carefully, something I didn't do when I did these the first time.
Today (Monday, November 30, 2009), is the second anniversay of my dad's passing. I decided to honor him a litte bit over the next few months by fixing up and sharing some photos of his extremely interesting life.

A family of Francois' Langurs high up in the trees on the Malayan tapir island in the Lied Jungle, the world's largest indoor rainforest and a "total immersion experience" at Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo. I love how this rare species sport wild mohawks.
And it is a rare species. According to a wikipedia:
There has been a dramatic decline in the population size by approximately 85% since [1990], making this species that of very high priority to potential extinction. The total number of wild individuals is unknown, but there are believed to be less than 500 left in Vietnam and 1,400-1,650 in China. There are only about 60 langurs in captivity in North American zoos.
And wikipedia further informs us that the baby's name is GinLu and:
she was was born in the Lied Jungle at Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo [in September 2009]. After being rejected by her mother, Lied Jungle keepers worked for several weeks to teach the mother to feed and care for her properly. It was important to have a special holding area for mother and infant for safety, ensuring the family was within sight and smell at all times. Mother and infant needed to be strongly bonded before placing the group together. By October 13, 2009, the entire group was reunited into one holding area.
As wikipedia notes, Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo is "nationally renowned for its leadership in animal conservation and research." And from the zoo's website:
The major purpose of the Lied Jungle is not only recreation, but education and conservation awareness. Rainforests play a vital role in the quality of life on earth. They are disappearing at the alarming rate of 50-100 acres a minute. That's an area the size of Massachusetts each year.

The inspiration for this piece came from pop culture stunt icon Evel Knievel. I wanted to capture the death defying spirit of stunt culture and juxtapose that with the Chinese spirit of modern progression. The rise of China can be said to be the golden ascension of the economy of the east, and the Chinese people have been known to go ‘where the gold is’.
