Lobster Causes Swollen Foot




"...... with the arrival of Dean Moriartry began that part of my life you could call my life on the road because ....... the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue center of the blast and everybody Oooohhh! "JK
you remember the American road movies where you start and you can never turn?
I immediately comes to mind Easy Rider - the eternal escape from reality, or Duel - the struggle continues between car and truck, Latest Sideways (even for people who love wine!), up to the Italian film as the amazing overtaking, Marrakech Express, Turn, not to mention the film's lighthearted AldoGiovannieGiacomo.
In these films we speak of the period of life along the way. All good or bad we had there, and many of them are in love, and then, after that time has passed, can not do more for less, and looking all the time, maybe stop at a traffic light going to work, watching the asphalt on the ground and seeing all the pebbles that compose it, as once when a yellow Ford '72 is crossing Europe from north to south, we stopped to drink at places of highways sitting on the curbs of the parking lot, with hands touching the asphalt and the stones that just make it more resistant to the passage of the tires, with those tires as they now can produce energy without being noticed.
Americans have thought of yet a new one: they want to raise energy in the asphalt, this is the project that you want to continue on legendary Route 66, in the U.S. have already dubbed the greenroadway, with a system patented by two inventors, Gene Fein and Ed Merritt, c he seeks to harness the enormous energy potential of highways, roads and railways in the United States , installing in its path hundreds of solar panels, wind turbines, geothermal plants, charging stations for electric vehicles, connected to a "smart grid" to feed close to the users. Will also seek to recover the energy from the passage of cars through generators placed under the asphalt!
Route 66 has been removed from the highway system in 1985 going from Chicago to Los Angeles, nearly 4000 km, from now, when you think of this "beat road will not only be associated with km, alcohol, sex, fleeting thoughts, meetings, discovery and freedom, but also to ecology course forever. California dreaming .. !!!............................ and then go with the Dik-Dik (and the music should start here !).
HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND HAVE A NICE TRIP, but little machine, in Italy there are still green road!

Dolomites, Italy and UNESCO

On 27 June 2009 were enrolled in 13 new sites World Heritage List of UNESCO. These include a the wonders of the landscape and geology and an extraordinary example of human-environment integration: the Dolomites, the Nseries in universal natural heritage 'cause the Good meets the criteria of natural beauty and geomorphological value. sites will be affected by Brenta Dolomites, the most Westerners, the group formed by Rosengarten and Latemar , at the turn of Alto Adige and Trentino, the Dolomites of Sesto the Pale of San Martino, the Marmolada massif the group consisting of Pelmo and Croda da Lago , to get to the Dolomites Friuli, the easternmost of all. Among the possible criteria established by UNESCO to establish a World Heritage Site so well they meet two of the Dolomites: the seventh, one on superlative natural phenomena or natural beauty or aesthetic importance, and the eighth, namely on Earth's history, features and geological and geomorphological processes. For the first criterion, UNESCO has rightly held that the Dolomites from the meet because they are all considered among the most attractive mountain scenery in the world. Their intrinsic beauty is derived from a variety of spectacular vertical forms, such as pinnacles, towers and pinnacles, in contrast to surface including horizontal ledges, cliffs and plateaus, all emerging suddenly extended from placer or rolling hills. A wide variety of colors is given by the contrast between the pale and bare rocks and forests and meadows below. The mountains stand as pinnacles, some isolated, others united to form extensive landscapes. The first geologists (De Dolomieu, Saussure, Stoppani, Trevisan), moreover, were first captured by the beauty of the mountains and their writings, drawings and photographs highlight the charm of these mountains. For the other criterion, the Dolomites are of value to international geomorphology. The area presents a wide range of rock types, resulting from erosion, tectonic movements and glaciation, and by special arrangement stratigraphic, represented by the iteration of organogenic deposits, derived from old coral platforms, terrigenous basinal deposits, deposits of igneous intrusions and the open sea (pelagic). The quantity and concentration of a great variety of limestone and 'extraordinary and includes some of the more' high vertical limestone cliffs in the world. Geological values \u200b\u200bare also of international importance and are proof of the Mesozoic carbonate platforms and atolls fossilized Permian-Triassic boundary. The Dolomites contain many areas of international importance for the stratigraphy of the Triassic period. The values \u200b\u200bof good science is also evidence of the long history of studies and international awards. Who has not visited the countless Sella, an atoll fossil specimen with overlapping generations of coral platforms, perhaps admiring the Odle, or the Marmolada glacier, or from the tip of Sasso Lungo, or who has not been climbing in Brenta, from hut Flavona in Ref Tukcet to Rif Alimonta along the Triassic Main Dolomite deposits ..... are all places to visit a tourist mecca for those who are not fond of the mountains, but only "environment ".
Now but we must keep this way and remember that even those who live there are the heritage of humanity, that is, those who want to visit them and appreciate them for what they really are, maybe struggling a bit 'to get there, so I'm not the prerogative of those who live and only wants to exploit economic and tourism. It happened to me personally in the Brenta Dolomites, the Passo del Grostè to see removed pieces of the slope only to create some more ski dell'ovovia arrival in addition to those already present. I hope that from now on, these interventions are limited, noting that the heritage of humanity is not just tour operators, and now we need to keep!

No Headphone Socket On Creative

G8 and nuclear

Finally, the Senate approved the bill n. 1195-B relating to enterprise development, energy, which contains provisions for the construction of nuclear power plants. Within six months after entry into force of the law, the Government will identify the sites of power plants and storage facilities of radioactive waste. Measures are provided (to say lots of "palliative") compensation to people affected by power plants.
Let's see how they voted political forces:
- In favor: UDC, SVP and Aut , despite some concerns on the rules for nuclear power. Pros also Northern League, who stressed that the measure takes effect in a positive medium to long time but already in the immediate is the basis for overcoming the crisis. Of course, according to the PDL the measure represents a radical departure for the national energy policy, everything to the business, now burdened by high energy costs, and the country, conditioned by strong energy dependence, this is thanks to the strong nuclear option, operated in an environmentally friendly (so are spared the PDL), a standard of safety and quality of service for citizens.
- Against: IdV that the energy policy of the government reduces the nuclear option, with severe limitations in terms of location of facilities and storage of radioactive waste. The PD voted against because we are limited in energy to the decision to acquire new nuclear plants, but there is no real nuclear policy with the necessary equipment in the field of operations research, environmental policy, industrial spill.
the regions of Tuscany, Piedmont, Emilia Romagna, Basilicata, Puglia, Valle d'Aosta, Campania, Sardinia have already expressed their opposition . Hopefully it will not be joined by others, otherwise then we will meet the Lombardy and Veneto full of power, of course, for technical reasons will be located along the Po

A "jokes" that went on the net these days in reference the G8, was that the more realistic, given the global economic crisis, and solidarity with the situation of the earthquake in Italy was the leader of Libya Geddafi, as always pretended to sleep in tents also Eagle! I wonder if his tent was like of the earthquake victims. And while the Pope rightly warns not tolerate injustice in the world after meeting with U.S. President, is news of a few hours ago that the Vatican felt to be humble towards science and not to do as with Galileo, but shortly after Angelus, the pope calls to reject the supremacy of technology .... maybe they referred to mouse galileo ?!?

Marshmallow Gun Plans

The wind Samso

Repubblica.it Today publishes the following article: Wind, sun, and canola oil, Samso is an island with zero emissions.
Yet another example of how the environment gives us and how we could exploit it. We are talking about wind energy and its intelligent use in Danish island: Samso. The history of wind and its use has its roots quite dated, thinking about this topic in my mind the windmills of the far west, which were often seen in films wester, near the train stations used to pump water for refills of the locomotives, windmills for European mills to grind the grain, or even used by the Dutch windmills to drain the polders and steal a piece 'of land to sea to live. Nobody has ever complained about the aesthetics. Indeed! Today they are regarded as tourist destinations: I think the mills of the island, used as a hotel, the Dutch windmills still in operation, in which some locals are used as bed and breakfast (and are also expensive, with room prices starting at 250 €), the mills of the Greek islands, Samos, Santorini. In
of Repubblica.it, there is an interesting point: many of these "venturbine" Sams are the property of residents, who can climb and enter the engine room of the turbines and uphill to admire the scenery on ' island of Samso. Can be safely considered viewpoints, and then travel with connotation and, as the article says, showing "an ideal balance between reeds and miniature golf, strawberry and debit cards."
One aspect that should make us reflect is that in 10 years you can change energy habits, lifestyle and adjust slightly the concept of environmental impact, as did the inhabitants of Samso (at the end of the 90 here yet imported energy from coal in 2003 and have reached the energy self-sufficiency since 2005 returns to Denmark Samso electricity produced by wind and sun). In a nutshell we earn and not a little and now they are making the Island a paradise sustainable, maybe sell a few years sleeping in a machinery space of a few venturbina some Italian tourist "cutting edge" for 400 € per room (we hope is also included breakfast with good buttery biscuits Danish). They want to import electric cars, take advantage of the waves, grow the reuse of collected live and travel light, and I hope they're not exaggerating!
Behold, the secret is this: make something that could be "aesthetically ugly, into something of tourists required and therefore appreciated that, more importantly, makes a profit, I'm sure it's pure and environmentalists do not consider them Vittorio Sgarbi over the last insult to their beauty and many others. True entrepreneurs are they, the inhabitants of this island. Today I read in the newspaper that the Province of Cremona Marcegaglia inaugurated the mega photovoltaic system on the roof of his Casalmaggiore warehouses in an area of \u200b\u200b40 thousand square meters. What is the right time?
Finally we see the benefits: free energy production after taking account of the cost of installation (installation costs relatively low, about 1.5 € per Watt), government incentives, gains from the sale of energy, tourism earning potential, etc. .. .. I forgot and zero pollution, but that does not matter, it is unnecessary and secondary!?! Sigh! Rightly
the sharpest could argue that wind power has an intermittent nature. But this did not deter the Danes who in May of 2007 they built the first central European wind-hydrogen . In fact, through electrolysis of water is Hydrogen can be obtained that is subsequently used to generate electricity when the energy demand can not be sustained only by the wind. The energy stored in hydrogen is converted into electricity through fuel cells or a combustion engine connected to an electric generator.
Finally I conclude this post with a quote from a Danish philosopher (S. Kierkegaard) who delighted (just) the fourth hour of philosophy in high school: " To exist means" to choose ", and indeed can be. But this is not wealth, but the misery of man. Her choice is not its size, but its permanent drama. In fact, he is always faced with the alternative of a "possibility that" and a "no chance" without possessing any criterion of choice. And in darkness, in an unstable position in the continuing indecision, unable to guide his life intentionally, in one way or another. "
Danes, and their luck with many others, are demonstrating their otherwise.
