Shopping and gifts for the benefit of the planet. Contest

A point is to conclude this 2010 International Year of Biodiversity and declared by UNESCO. Undoubtedly, the annual statement of this period has served as a backdrop to highlight the valuable biodiversity that surrounds us and against which often attacks our daily activities.
is not my intention to make any assessment about the progress and contrasts obtained throughout the year with respect to the above matter, but it is inevitable to provide some feedback. Paradigms appreciable effect of such a declaration are the few but notable national measures that some countries have implemented to mitigate the environmental impact of motor industry and energy, for without being at all sufficient to alleviate a problem global impact reflects the commitment of many nations for the future of the planet, which is in short cuestasel own. This year we will leave some traces of awareness of citizens and government with the notable commitment to renewable energy and the use of lighting and appliances, low power consumption, no wonder it was perceived as an increased use of free energies contamination, as evidenced by the fact that thirty percent of the electricity generated in Valencia (Spain) is obtained in a clean and most of the appliances and light bulbs purchased this year offer reduced fuel consumption. Finally, ecology and economy go hand in hand, it seems that the financial crisis has given strong backing to the environment.
If we talk about biodiversity, this has been a year in which the findings by the international community have cryptozoological greater impact than ever. The exploration of the ocean at specific points has revealed unexpected diversity of deep ocean life, but on land we also surprised with the description of tens of thousands of new species of flora and fauna among which stand out the giant monitor three species found in Asia and Oceania, the dozens of innovations that make reference to anurans hitherto unknown to science, Parrots land and other birds, sauropsids diverse variety of mammals including primates include just described, thousands of insects, crustaceans, amphibians and endless etc. among which explored unspoiled ecosystems in Borneo and New Guinea, whose dispatches are deducted from a number of novel species, and all without talking about bacteria that metabolize arsenic and incorporate it into their DNA or life forms that survive in the most unexpected effects.
In addition, this year will end end up most clearly, though conditioned by the economic hardships that many families have been dragging for some time, the consumerist fervor awake at this time, prompting many of us to resume an activity often irrational and unhealthy for our pocket, yet all is not lost, because until that trade diversion into the Christmas spirit can be benign for our environment and its biodiversity if we act responsibly. Fortunately
many items and toys are ready to be purchased or given away minimum impact, as the recycling and reuse have been wounded in force this Christmas, well, again the economic outlook is the cause that now more than ever sharpen your wits to save reusing. Very tempting alternative is to buy products whose direct benefit resulting from its marketing is intended to conservation and regeneration of species and ecosystems, as is the case of items offered by the World Wildlife Fund.

Gift smart is that
contributing to the conservation of biodiversity.


Indeed, this international organization of an environmental non-profit organization offers a number of products produced in a clean energy and material (energy and materials renobables clean, recycled or recyclable) to obtain full financial resources for conservation of many endangered species, ecosystems and those most in need of protection. Buy a keychain
WWF, representing the most endangered species, is at once both a detail for that loved one as for endangered fauna, but if the shirts are not nice or appropriate for himself or recipient of your gift, perhaps you enjoy most about endangered animals stuffed animals, recreated alone or in possession of their young, a real encouragement to the children.
gifts is also possible to find much more useful and practical as Agenda 2011, published by WWF and National Geographic, Calendars tabletop or wall with the best shots, themed shirts with more awareness, backpacks, lunch bags and bread, pins, badges symbolic, pendants, and stickers, some of which are accompanied by a small gift with your purchase. Christmas and conservation in the same gesture.
Get any of these products at a price modest is as simple as making a request via email socios@wwf.es, for which there is no need to be a member of the organization or order through any two phones available: 91 354 0578 and 902 102 107. It will be necessary to provide the full name of the buyer, a telephone number and / or e-mail address, mailing address and choice of receiving the item or items desired. Financial donations are also accepted at the foundation, whose destination is the same as the benefit to the items provided. Beyond
Christmas, this initiative will continue throughout the year to last.

Flight Simulater Chair




I'm not a great lover of Christmas, and not thought to be congratulated on the blog, because I did not leave the necessary words peeeero ... after giving a few laps, I thought that it is not fair that those who you are, you will not receive a greeting from me.

Therefore, to that you enjoy with passion, which you begin to enjoy them, who give a damn but not miss a good party, and that you produce nostalgia, loneliness, or some discomfort ... to each and every one of you.

Christmas and a Happy New Year full of dreams and smiles!

And remember, the ideal gift is not sold in the English court or any other store, the ideal gift is in the dreams. So listen carefully to those you have around you, because maybe not a perfume, jewelry, garment, or a next-generation device that dream, maybe dreaming of being princes and princesses of fairy for a day, or children for a while, or take a stroll through a place unusual, or see the stars at your side ... But do not say sssshhhhhhh very high, not going to put them on sale.

Ski Helmet With Chin Protector

Merry Christmas What we forgot in Kenya


recommend not reading this story without having read the previous chapters:
When I got the car I gave the driver the address of our old house. I knew that Paul would be upset when you discover that the letter had given Eva, but I thought it would also not need to know. And if one day I discovered, it would be late and understand I did thinking about your good and your family. But ... what was I thinking? Paul knew me enough to notice in my face that he was lying, as I wonder whether he had delivered and he said yes. I had to think of a better plan, as he had lost ... but that does not prevent re-write ... or maybe that was the solution, I could rewrite it, and settle the matter definitively. The trip made me very short, and when thinking on the subject of the letter, I avoided looking out the window the path that the car was, I felt anxious and scared me more than I imagined, to face the memories. Nairobi was in my head joy and sadness in equal measure, but the downside was so painful that unconsciously forced to hide my happy memories, and focused on London, the city that gave me inner peace. In London an accident had not taken the lives of my parents. In London, I hoped my husband and my children. London was the perfect place to close a door that I caused pain to open.

The car stopped right on the doorstep. For a moment I thought that if he touched the bell, the door may be opened, and her mother's smile to the other side, but I did not. I went home from The Sherman, asking the key that Paul had left them. The time had taken its toll on those familiar faces, who transported me to the garden parties that had shared, when their sons Philip and Joey, were inseparable friends of Paul, and three life spent teasing. At that time, Paul and I we could not bear, for me it was intolerable that the kid had touched me as a brother, started to get along when he returned from Spain, and came to study with me to London. Our childhood was paved with fights and quarrels among us, we could not spend more than fifteen minutes without arguing, and we never we put agree on anything.

I opened the front door with a trembling hand. As I walked down the hall, thousands of images flashed through my head like a slideshow, but at the rate of six frames per second. Everything was in place as Paul said, everything but the smell. Lacked the warmth of the smell of my home, which could not but bring to mind at that time was missing. Nor was the fruit that my mother liked to put in a container, in the middle of the kitchen table, and the glass jar of cookies on the counter, was empty, like the pantry. Started to feel that anguish for so many years I had kept back, maybe Paul was wrong, for me it was useless to confront the past, wanted to close my eyes and meet in London to open them with my family, that place where I could not find my house was as cold as the backdrop for a film. Tears began to pile up in my eyes and ran to my bedroom as a child, and I did not like something, only this time no one ran behind me to console me. My room was as if time had never been there and put my face on the pillow, I felt it was the smell ever, the smell of my childhood, so long accompanied my dreams. And to recover the aroma of my childhood, I found the taste of my memories, the good, of which there were buried with those who caused me anguish.

on the shelf, along with my books, lay a picture of my graduation, she appeared in all four. Watching her, I remembered why I decided not to take me to London, there to reflect the times in which the four lived together at home, after that I went to study abroad, a year later he became Paul, and I started an independent life of meetings on key dates.

had a lump in my throat, I wanted to leave the house, I needed some fresh air that was not in there, and decided to focus on the letter that Paul had given me, and had to rewrite for delivery. I sat in my old desk and opened the letter carefully not to break the envelope and unfolded the paper I came across something I do not understand why I had not crossed his mind, was written in English, and had no idea to translate that language. I the possibility of translating it with the laptop in my hotel, but my eyes returned to meet with that old photograph of my graduation, and the happy face we all had, and I bumped into Paul's eyes, the joy radiating the child who later would go to Spain, and would make his return in the brother and friend of confidence, more mature, because there was no longer the kid that I had touched a brother, to become a man in love, who delivered their love in abundance to all of us. And then the accident happened, and never again be the same, for the great loss and because he felt the blame for what had happened. And I only left me wondering, who was I to interfere in his life, when life had already given back more times, and I could not afford to now, the person in whom he confided.

I introduced the letter in an envelope and locked it, went to the Protea Hotel Cairo Road and gave the front desk. And then, for the first time, I wished with all my heart that this letter reached its destination.


(Okay, yes, I admit girls, do not kill me, I know I'm getting dizzy the letter and that you are willing to open it ... but the fault of the heads for not letting me use my characters as I please ... at the end ¬ ¬ I do not know who the hell I will think to release the letter ... just stole a Tolkien Frodo Baggins or Gollum himself ... or already made Aragorn jajajaja so forgive me motion sickness from the letter: P)

The Front Of My Hair Is Thinning

For the curiosity of the audience ... The frozen heart



I have not had time to make an entrance in a position but how could we not discuss the most anticipated interview of the issue ...

The sad truth is that a contestant with a chance of winning the contest, has lost the curiosity of those who follow the program to come face to face with images that no one would see on your partner ... but that's life, and that's big brother, and of course I still love!

And what While they set up the videos? There, poking his finger in the yaga and contrasting the words of justification and the version that she had to reassure him with the reality of the facts ... do not let puppet head. If I do not even remember half the things he had said or done, and that from time to time have repeated ... no wonder she had some distorted memories. Although I believe that the worst of all, there are pictures of her with the geypermans, but harassment and demolition that had to Reuben, into believing that he was the "executioner" and not the "victim", that is to manipulate tests and the rest is nonsense ... but of course to have achieved that, he should have been in the same condition, and it is clear that Reuben is on another level than her.

I want to leave it on Thursday and face events ... to continue with the illness of the matter ... and because I see everyone is committed to take to Iago, is leading the polls, and do not understand. I like it, is playing its cards what's wrong? It's a contest! Why do we forget every time you see someone play? And it is false to those around them, and change the group of about socks, but part of its strategy. In the confessional, often speaking out, does not try to fool the audience, as expected they did Feroz and Flor (here, the program spent three villages). The decision to have committed is to believe that to win, the important thing is to get no nominee out to me that has seen little or no issues ... I like his dry humor and I enjoy indoors. It is the only one who has faced the flirts in the stanzas, and it is flushed through the house ... If I go out Yago bored as an oyster. So for me ... echéis not porfa, porfa ...

Wake Up Extrme Itching




I loved this book, the story told is located in the historical context that goes from the English Civil War, through World War II until today .

tells the story of two families and the nexus that unites them is a recent issue of exile, and where the circumstances, by a chance meeting of this , make that connection is revealed, but not before getting the life of the main characters, explore a maze of desires and passions, which were not in their plans.

The way to tell is perfect, weaves one by one to their characters and be connected in space and time, in a very clean and complete, no loose ends, and just right, making each one know, all we need to know to place them in context.

The story filled me, both in substance and in form, and to close the book left me feeling that he had plenty and lacked nothing.

Recommended Reading hundred percent.

Gums Feel Swollen In Morning

The eternal provisional Museum.

Morella is a small citadel, capital of the region of Els Ports that are located in the northern English province of Castellón. Just last month I had the pleasure to announce on this blog your choice to host the ninth edition of the Meeting of Young Researchers in Paleontology, and today I am about to make known, in broad terms, one of the biggest attractions of the city paleontology, especially with regard to tourism and the general public.
The concept of the Museum "Dinosaur Temps" (Time of Dinosaurs in the local Valencian dialect) was born to accommodate a thematic area that showed the incredible value that the municipality has paleontological, as Morella and its many districts, like the rest of the region constitute a huge reservoir covering a period from the Upper Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous, ie, between 145,000,000 and 98,000,000 years. Initially, the museum would be temporary because municipal authorities contemplating an ambitious project aimed at restoring the old factory Giner and therefore, its location was not right what is wished. Were the formidable towers guarding the gate of San Miguel, one of the main entrances to the walled citadel that served as a framework to expose the fossils donated by amateur paleontologist Francisco Yeste Morella and other items of special interest taken in the vicinity. It's been a dozen years I had the opportunity to visit the Museum for the first time in this early site, and although it was necessary to scroll vertically through the narrow halls of the restored fort, was a experience noteworthy because the beauty of the twin towers attached to each side of the door above the spectacular fossils exposed stunned me.
Over time, the genuine idea of \u200b\u200bputting together a great museum that places Morella in the forefront of the national paleontological museum fading despite the momentum shown by the local council, as the factory Giner, a symbol of industrial prosperity and textile city \u200b\u200bin the nineteenth century, required a costly and lengthy restoration before being able to host any event. The complex was later acquired by the Foundation Blasco de Alagon, which conditioned part of the building to provide samples and exhibitions that would help to finance its activities as a cultural foundation, the exhibition "Lizards terribly big" and "i Carbó Dinosaur" (In Valencia, Coal and Dinosaurs), mentioned in this Blog and private channel, are a good example of such events , often promoted by EDC Natura - Omacha Foundation. In response to many setbacks, the MUDIM or Dinosaur Museum Morella you were several candidates to take his place in the English paleontological panorama, the most fierce rival is still undoubtedly the Cinctorres neighbor, who has announced that it is able to accommodate a large Dinosaur Museum on a shoestring budget less than required by Morella. Under such pressures, the district capital in past years has outfitted a room more suitable museum to display his collection of fossilized, occupying one of the aisles of an old church acquired by the City and partially restored for use as the Health Center.
Today, the Museum Dinosaur Temps is framed by that church nave between arches and architectural shots Baroque Rococo style, and despite constituting a room much larger and more accessible than the old towers, preserved their provisional nature, because Morella authorities do not give up having to compete for one of the Paleontological Museum most notable of the nation.

Exterior view of the Museum.

The group of pictures that accompany these lines have been selected from the snapshots taken during my last visit, which took place during the first week of last November. Despite the ban states to capture photographs of the site, I was granted the privilege of taking some pictures to give shape to this informal presentation that aims to attract the attention of readers of the blog and generate a general idea of \u200b\u200bthe framework that will encompass EJIP next edition in 2011.

main room and hallway.

By accessing the museum are greeted by a magnificent scale reconstruction of an Iguanodon bernissartensis , Dinosaur star local deposits. For a small fee and a loose schedule that covers much of the day you can view a selection of the more prominent findings occurred in the numerous quarries in the region.

angular Detail of the first room.

After the reception room is accessed several smaller rooms where you will find many Vertebrate fossils from the Lower Cretaceous local representative, Crocodiles, Mosasaurus and other terrestrial and marine organisms share space in the first module with a model that attempts to recreate the landscape Morella 100,000,000 years ago.

Murals explanatory.

murals are not lacking in character graphics and informative text that aim to provide guidance and orientation for visitors less familiar with the wonders of extinct fauna that are set before their eyes.

Close side of a cabinet.

Iguanodon, Coelurus , Dacentrurus , Megalosaurus and indeterminate Baryonychinae Brachiosauridae and Dinosaurs are better represented in the Museum, obviously because it is the species found in the vicinity.

Brachiosauridae scapula, the center of attention.

In short, we are without doubt a great resort yet is only a foretaste of a much more ambitious and yet is finding many more obstacles in their way originally envisaged, from Here I would like to express my wholehearted support to MUDIM, worth the bad economic and political to erect a museum worthy of the city of Morella and paleontological incomparable environment. I encourage you to visit this time of dinosaurs, Morella and her charms are well worth it.

That Christmas ...



not remember when was the last time he had believed in Christmas, do not get along with the zest that aroused in people that time, which everyone seemed to float on a magic potion of happiness, while others seemed to sink in silence, struggling to stay afloat and not be submerged in a deep loneliness.

But that Christmas had not started with the same apathy, something inside asked to smile and share their joy, to breathe deeply every particle of that cold December air, admire those lights adorning their city ... And that something that had changed their world, were the eyes of that child who walked wrapped in his arms, his son. A gorgeous looking boy, who was born that year and was teaching a nice lesson, because what I was feeling could not be otherwise, must be what everyone called "the spirit of Christmas."

(For Elena, hope you like and serve you for what you want. A big hug)
