Listening Gothan Project - Santa Maria (Del Buen Ayre)
S: secondo me lui è stato all'altezza
me: dici?
S: sì, lo vedevo ben concentrato
me: appunto
aveva paura di sbagliare
S: uhm
me: anch'io avrei avuto paura...lei ha una faccia!
S: giusta osservazione
tu dici che dovrebbe venire più naturale, senza pensare?
me: sì, perchè se hai paura di un ostacolo stai sicuro che ci finisci irrimediabilmente dentro
S: uno psicologo una volta mi diceva che è proprio così
quando pensi adesso cado
cadi
me: già...è così.
S: e allora lei non dovrebbe avere il dito alzato
me: perchè?
S: perché parte dal presupposto di dover mettere sull'avviso, di guardare dal di fuori, in un certo di pre-giudicare
stai attento che cadi
e lui cade
me: già
se lo aspetta
S: caspita, troppo dramma dietro questa foto
me: il tango è dramma
S: ma anche passione
me: sì
S: e non chiuderei il sillogismo dicendo
passione = dramma
me: no
quello no
S: meno male
camminano fianco a fianco
forse è lì il problema
me: ?
S: se è dramma ma anche passione, vuol dire che i due sono vicini, si sfiorano e magari alla fine si toccano
non necessariamente
me: capito
S: insomma, adesso uno dei due deve dire una cosa che fa ridere!
me: ci pensi tu?
S:
oppure forse c'è un'altra soluzione per quel dito alzato
lei lo sa che lui sbaglia
lui lo fa quasi sempre, nonostante lei ogni volta alzi il dito
e lui si concentra ogni volta di più
ma non c'è niente da fare
succede
eppure lei ogni volta fa finta di arrabbiarsi, ma col sorriso
me: caspita!
S: anzi, quasi se lo aspetta quell'errore
tanto che se lui non lo facesse, lo guarderebbe quasi in modo diverso
ogni volta che tornano a ballare è come quella prima volta che lui ha invitato lei sebbene sapesse di non essere tanto bravo nel tango e lei quella volta, la prima, si era commossa
perchè aveva capito che sforzo gli era costato
mettersi in gioco pur sapendo di non essere bravissimo
solo per cercare di starle vicino
e a lei proprio quella cosa le era rimasta impressa
quella specie di piccolo fallimento orgoglioso
è così che poi si sono messi insieme, dopo
sudati e lui che aveva uno sguardo che tirava un po' di lato
consapevole del fallimento, ma senza abbassare del tutto gli occhi
e allora dopo uscendo, nel buio
si erano baciati."

De Luis I-brug (Portugees: Ponte Dom Luís I) over de rivier Douro is een opvallende boogbrug in de Portugese stad Porto.
De brug is vernoemd naar koning Lodewijk I van Portugal (Dom Louís I, 1861 - 1889), die de brug in 1886 opende.

The Luís I Bridge (Ponte Luís I) is a metal arch bridge that spans the Douro River between the cities of Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia in Portugal. At the time of construction its span of 172 m was the longest of its type in the world.
The Government held a competition for the construction of a metallic bridge over the Douro River on a site that was adjacent to an existing bridge and would replace it. Teófilo Seyrig had already engineered the D. Maria Pia Bridge project nearby, whilst working as a partner of Eiffel. He now took sole responsibility for the new, major Luís 1st Bridge. The construction was begun in 1881 and the bridge opened on 31 October 1886.
Total length 385.25 m
Weight 3045 tons
The arch measures 172 m in length and 44.6 m in height

O coração tava apertado enquanto via isso!
Me senti impotente. Olhava pro lado, pro outro e não podia fazer nada!
Fui embora a pensar...
Não escondo que, ao chegar em casa e ver a foto maior no computador... senti tanta tristeza por ele e... chorei!

Diamante de Gould (Erythrura gouldiae)
Ave originária do norte da Austrália, foi trazida para a Europa em meados do século XIX pelo ornitólogo John Gould, ao qual ficou a dever o seu nome.
Conhecido em inglês como “Lady Gould” (Senhora Gould), foi assim chamado pelo primeiro ornitólogo a estudar a espécie, John Gould, em homenagem à esposa Elizabeth quando esta faleceu. Hábil desenhista de pássaros, ela registrou a imagem das aves que o casal pesquisou junto em expedições realizadas no século XIX.
During my lunch hour today I wandered down to the Water of Leith for some dipper shots. Got a few okay ones but mostly throwaway. On my way back to the office my attention was drawn to loud chirping in the trees at Belford Road and to my delight around 6 Long-tailed tits were hopping about. Out of the corner of my eye I saw two land on a nearby branch and one of them began hanging upside down. It took a second to realise that it was dangling helplessly because its wing had somehow got stuck. Now that I've scrutinised the shots, it would appear that the wing is literally glued to the end of the branch where some sap is.
The poor thing dangled helplessly as the rain started and the wind picked up. Other long-tails landed beside it and looked down in what appeared to be a show of concern. They certainly knew something was wrong. There was lots of anxious tweeting. Eventually the bird managed to pull itself up enough to start pulling away at its wing feather. To no avail at first, and I really thought it was going to end up dying there.
But the story has a happy ending as the wee thing eventually managed to rip its wing free, with minimal damage it would appear. I hope so anyway!
Does anyone know if this is a common occurence. I'm aware that tree sap is extremely sticky and could act like a sort of glue to a delicate feather but surely this kind of thing doesn't happen too often.

201 años dempués de la declaración de soberanía de 1808 Fai! quixo recordar esti 25 de mayu como'l día nacional d'Asturies. Pa ello, entamóse una folixa que cuntó con un recital poéticu, la ellaboración d'un mural y un conciertu con 4 grupos asturianos que punxeron la banda sonora a una xornada reivindicativa pola soberanía popular asturiana.
Más d’un cientu de persones participaron esti sábadu 23 na I Folixa Nacional entamada por Fai! como reivindicación y celebración del Día de la Nación Asturiana, recuerdu de la xornada qu’abre la historia contemporánea d’Asturies, el 25 de mayu de 1808, día de la declaración de soberanía de la Xunta Xeneral.
Doscientos ún años depués d’esti fechu y de la creación de la bandera asturiana, la organización d'esquierda soberanista Fai! quixo ufrir un menú folixeru y combativu nel marcu del CSOA La Reflexón. Abriendo les actividaes, Sergio Gutiérrez Camblor, Carlos Suari, Pablo X. Suárez, Xabel Vegas y Xandru Fernández protagonizaron el recital poéticu “Poetes agresivos (disparen les sos obres contra los que se duermen)”, onde tuvo bien presente, de la mano de los sos versos, la crítica social y la ironía más característica de cinco poetes que representaron na Folixa’l presente y el futuru de la lliteratura nacional, al tiempu que nes paredes se proyectaben imáxenes subversives qu'afalaben l'ambiente combativu del recital.
De siguío, dellos artistes plásticos emprimaben a diseñar un mural que tenía la histórica fras como protagonista: “Asturies enxamás vencida”.
Dientro del CSOA, organización, delles puestos de material y músicos ultimaben tolos detalles pa que dende les siete y media, la música entamara a sonar na I Folixa Nacional con un escenariu enllenu d'asturines y de banderes d'otros pueblos en llucha como les de los Països Catalans, Castiella, el País Llionés, Andalucía, Euskal Herria, Palestina...K-Nalón yera’l grupu encargáu de romper el silenciu col so rap dinamiteru 100% n’asturianu.
Darréu Arma X y 13 Palabras xubíen al escenariu de La Reflexón pa que la revolución de rimes nun aparara.Metanes l'actuación, una pancarta xubió al escenariu pa denunciar la illegalización de les idées y pola derogación de la llei de partíos.
Al finar esta actuación los sones reivindicativos dexaron pasu al actu políticu, onde militantes de Fai! lleeron un manifiestu en favor del 25 de mayu como día nacional d'Asturies. Enantes, un representante del Comité de Sofitu a Iniciativa Internacionalista n'Asturies, que llamentablemente foi la única organización qu'acudió a la llamada que dende Fai! se ficiere a los partíos de la izquierda nacional asturiana pa dicir unes pallabres, agradeció'l convite y presentó la campaña que ta desendolcando'l comité nesti país, a pesar de les torgues y la criminalización que careció y carez esta y otres munches opciones polítiques d'esquierda soberanista nel estáu español.
Na segunda metada del conciertu Vinagre de Sidra abría capítulu pa les guitarres y el rock, que yá na fin de la nueche diba zarrar Gomeru, depués de cinco hores de música dende la trinchera más reivindicativa del país.
Dende Fai! nun queremos que s'escaeza la nuestra historia, la historia d'un pueblu combativu que siempre supo tar a l'altura de les circunstancies. Güei tócanos a nosotres y nosotros, les y los asturianes y asturianos del sieglu XXI siguir na llucha en busca de la soberanía popular d'Asturies.

Jillian Geurts trained in musical theatre and performance with The Fame Theatre Company from 1995-2005. During this time she performed many lead roles in various productions and toured Queensland three times. In 2004, upon discovering Zen Zen Zo's unique brand of physical theatre, she participated in their Youth Physical Actor Training for two years. Jillian was a member of the award-winning St Rita's College Showchoir for three years (2003-05) and in 2005 she won the senior section on the Toombul Time to Shine talent competition. In 2006 she performed in Children of the Black Skirt (St Rita's College) and as the lead role of Dorothy Brock in 42 Street (St Rita's College).
In 2007, Jillian undertook a gap-year in Europe, after which she returned to study film at Queensland University of Technology. Throughout 2008 she continued her training in Zen Zen Zo's adult classes, as well as training and studying Butoh dance-theatre. She worked on the front-of-house team for Zen Zen Zo's In the Raw production Zeitgeist and in late 2008 was accepted into the company's 2009 Internship group.
In March 2009, Jillian worked with Butoh master's Muramatsu Takuya and Yuyama Daiichiro during a three week creative development, culminating in the sold-out performance Gaia - The Dairakudakan Project. From this, she was selected for cast of Zeitgeist touring to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August 2009 and Adelaide Fringe 2010.
She performed the role of Miranda in Zen Zen Zo's production The Tempest, as well as assisted with the documentary charting the show's creation. In August this year, she will tour to Edinburgh to perform in Zen Zen Zo's tour of Zeitgeist.

The Daniel Carter Beard Bridge, better known as the 'Big Mac' Bridge due to its golden yellow arches, connects Interstate 71 in downtown Cincinnati to Kentucky. The bridge is named after the founder of the Boy Scouts, who was born and raised nearby. However, many locals, including traffic reporters, ignore the bridge's official name and instead call it "The Big Mac Bridge".
Right-of-way acquisition for the bridge began in January 1968, and construction began on the Ohio River crossing in November 1971. The still-unnamed bridge opened to limited traffic in September 1976. The name of the new bridge was announced on October 5, 1976, the choice being to name the bridge after Daniel Carter Beard, in honor of the founder of the Boy Scouts of America. The Scouts had lobbied hard for the bridge to carry Beard's name, with some paddling down the Ohio and Kentucky rivers to carry petitions to the governor in Frankfort. The Ohio River span and a short section of highway were dedicated on February 14, 1977, with Kentucky Governor John Y. Brown leading the dedication ceremonies.
The bridge is the easternmost of the city's downtown bridge group.

E' nata una nuova Creatura Artistica: Filorosso - officina di teatro e delle arti espressive.
Vi aspettiamo per la partenza dei nuovi corsi teatrali e per iniziare insieme questa magnifica avventura artistica :-)
Il teatro è l’unione di tanti fili rossi…
grandi, piccoli…
fili intersecati gli uni negli altri…
fili che hanno vita, che creano movimenti, forme e colori nello spazio….
Il Filorosso nasconde in sé tanti significati …il coraggio, l’azione, la volontà, l’amore, il conflitto, la consapevolezza, l’inconscio, la forza, la rab...bia, la passione, i legami, il contatto, l’energia…
Avvicinarsi al teatro vuol dire andare a cercare, scoprire, guardare quel sottile filo rosso che ognuno di noi ha in sé…
…Filo che tiene unito tutto come mani intrecciate in un girotondo…

This is a quick snapshot from the top of the tram at Heavenly ski resort in South Lake Tahoe, California. To the right of the photo is the tram and behind the tram is State line to Nevada and the Casinos. For those of you that have been to Lake Tahoe, I am on the top of the ski slope you see well from the casinos and the entire south lake area. The more skiable is even farther up the hill behind me. The gondola that heads up the mountain from the casino area is further up the hill to my right. This is the only ski resort in the nation that covers 2 states. Ski from California to Nevada and then back again. I may post some other snapshots from the top of the mountain later. Yes, I am on my skis taking this photo.
Heavenly Mountain Resort is a ski resort located on the California-Nevada border in South Lake Tahoe. It has 97 runs and 30 lifts that are spread between California and Nevada and four base facilities. The resort has 4,800 acres (19 km²) permit, with approximately 33% developed for skiing, making it the largest ski resort, by area, in California (Mammoth Mountain Ski Area is larger in trail-marked, skiable terrain). It is also Tahoe's highest ski resort, with a peak elevation of 10,067 ft (3,068 m) and a peak lift-service elevation of 10,040 ft (3,060 m) and a vertical rise of 3,500 feet (1067 m). With an average of 360 inches (9 m) of snow annually and one of America's largest snowmaking systems, their season usually runs from mid November to late April or early May.[dubious – discuss] The resort was purchased by Vail Resorts, Inc. in 2002. The 2008-2009 season had been set to begin on November 21st, 2008 but was delayed to November 28th due to weather conditions. ~Wikipedia

If some one you don't know, I got to a pretty awesome school. I attend the Art Academy of Cincinnati. Personally, I wouldn't go to any other school. One of the awesome things about the school is the teachers. Many of the teachers are active artist. Matt Hart is my artist as reader professor. One of the coolest guys there. Matt just released a brand new book this month called " Sermons and Lectures, Both Blank and Relentless." I had the great privilege to photograph his book release at my school. That night turned out to be a real enjoyable one full of poetry, laughter, food and drink. I highly recommend you check it out and give it a read. Enjoy
If you ever get to have Matt as a teacher or go to a reading of his, watch for his feet. His feet should have a show of their own. Haha.

"Always Tomorrow"
performed/written: Gloria Estefan
I've been alone inside myself far too long
I never really wanted it that way but I let it happen
If I could do it all again
My life would be
Infinitely better than before
I wouldn't waste a moment
Make time for laughing with my friends
Make love make music make amends
Try to make a difference
Try to love
Try to understand
Instead of just giving up
I'd use the power at my command
But there's always tomorrow
To start over again
Things will never stay the same
The only one sure thing is change
That's why there's always tomorrow
I guess it took a little time for me to see
The reason I was born into this world
and what I'd have to go through
Before I finally realize that I could be
Infinitely better than before, definitely stronger
I'll face whatever comes my way
Savor each moment of the day
Love as many people as I can along the way
Help someone who's given up
If its just to raise my eyes and pray
(chorus)
Before your last setting sun
And everything your heart has longed for
Has yet to be won
Yes there's always always always tomorrow
Though people come and they go
But if you've brought some love to their lives
Then you've got something to show
Always tomorrow

This dress is the ugliest dress I have ever bought. I liked the style but hated the pattern. Anyways, when I wore it....my aunt just loved it. I thought it was cute. She said it reminded her of a blouse she made with almost the same pattern. Just thought I'd share that with you.

Parkinson's disease is a chronic and progressive degenerative disease of the brain that impairs motor control, speech, and other functions.
Parkinson's disease belongs to a group of conditions called movement disorders. It is characterized by muscle rigidity, resting tremor, slowing of movement (bradykinesia) and, in extreme cases, nearly complete loss of movement (akinesia). Secondary symptoms include high level cognitive dysfunction, subtle language problems, and depression. Some people with Parkinson’s disease develop Dementia in the late stages of the disease
In contrast to many other neurological disorders, the nature of the brain degeneration that produces Parkinson's disease has been well understood for decades. The symptoms are caused by loss of nerve cells that secrete dopamine in a tiny midbrain area called the substantia nigra. These nerve cells, for reasons that are not fully understood, are especially vulnerable to damage of various sorts, including drugs, disease, and head trauma. The term Parkinsonism is used for any process that destroys large numbers of these cells and thereby causes the same characteristic symptoms. Parkinson's disease, or more fully, idiopathic Parkinson's disease, is diagnosed when no specific physical cause for the loss of dopamine cells can be identified.
My father, Peter, suffers from dementia brought on by Alzheimer’s disease, Lewy Body disease and Parkinson’s disease. He is not a well man and at the young age of 72 his ability to perform normal tasks most of us take for granted is diminishing. He often suffers from confusion and memory loss but despite that he is still a loving, gentle and intelligent man with a ‘Dad’s’ sense of humour.
Recently, due to an increasing difficulty he has with shaving, he began growing a beard. I love it. After seeing him clean shaven for most of my life I reckon it really suits him. He is quite proud of it himself – and I think he really enjoyed ‘modelling’ for photos despite the fact smiling isn’t easy for him these days.

2008 Year of the frog
Amphibians are declining rapidly; species, genera, and even families are going extinct at an unprecedented rate. One third to one half of all amphibian species are threatened with extinction, with probably more than 120 already gone in recent years. Habitat loss is the major threat in terms of number of species affected, but the rapid dispersal of amphibian chytrid fungus is of major and urgent concern because of its tendency to drive species to extinction quickly. Scientists believe many more species may go extinct before we are able to act. But there is one option currently available which can save hundreds or even thousands of species if we act rapidly: captive survival assurance populations. Zoos, aquaria, and botanical gardens play a crucial role in this solution, as they can provide ex-situ breeding grounds for the immediate conservation action needed before hundreds of species disappear.

2008 Ano da Rã
Os anfíbios têm tido um rápido declínio; espécies géneros e até famílias tem sido extintas a uma taxa sem precedentes. De um terço à metade das espécies de anfíbios estão ameaçadas de extinção, sendo que provavelmente mais de 120 já desapareceram. A perda de habitat é a maior ameaça em termos do número de espécies afectadas, mas a rápida dispersão do fungo da quitridiomicose é de maior e urgente preocupação, pois sua tendência é levar as espécies à extinção rapidamente. Cientistas acreditam que muitas espécies ainda serão extintas antes que sejamos capazes de agir. Porém, existe uma opção disponível que pode salvar centenas ou até mesmo milhares de espécies se agirmos rapidamente: assegurar a sobrevivência de populações em cativeiro. Zoológicos, aquários e jardins botânicos tem um papel crucial nesta solução, pois podem actuar como centros de reprodução ex-situ para a acção de conservação imediata, necessária antes que centenas de espécies desapareçam.
