Esta ex- Big Brother, ex-apresentadora do polémico programa de rádio e televisão, “Pânico” onde se sujeita as coisas mais idiotas como ter um escorpião a picar-lhe as nádegas. A recente capa da revista Playboy brasil é conhecida pelo seu baixo Q.I. mas excelente bunda.

<p>I bought this some time ago. Couldn't resist it or resist taking a pic of it. It's a little keyring harmonica. It's fully functional and sounds surprisingly good.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/Fjn9tAgEl5I'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/Fjn9tAgEl5I&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>I have a passion for exotic music and strange instruments although I can't often afford to buy them. I have several ukuleles of all varieties from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukulele" target="_blank">bass to soprano</a> including a beautiful <a href="http://www.ukes.com/ovation.html" target="_blank">Ovation Applause electric</a> one. I also have a <a href="http://musical-instruments.shop.ebay.co.uk/items/Accordion-Concertina__W0QQ_nkwZaccordianQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZQQ_mdoZMusicalQ2dInstrumentsQQ_pcatsZ16217Q2c619QQ_sacatZ16218" target="_blank">mini piano accordion</a> and an original bass Stylophone. I know they have been put on sale again but having an original is somehow much cooler.</p>

<p>One of the most majestic exotic instruments is the <a href="http://www.bellowphone.com/" target="_blank">bellowphone </a>which is an eccentric beast of an instrument built by an  equally eccentric guy but the sound it gives out is unbelievable; like a multi one man band on steroids. Listen to it it's wonderful. Listen <a href="http://www.bellowphone.com/gallope2.html" target="_blank">here</a> and of course below...</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am a truly international traveller.  My wheel-rims were manufactured in Belgium, the spokes in Birmingham, and put together by a wheelwright in Portchester, Hampshire.  The generator for the lighting originated in Germany, as did the front light, and the rear light came from France [try not to read too much into that].  The gear-shift mechanism is from Italy, sprockets are from Japan, the the chain chainrings from The Netherlands.  The frame was hand-crafted in a small workshop in Honley, Yorkshire and there all the other parts were brought together and made into one whole bicycle.  To complete the picture the once-black canvas saddlebag was made in Nelson, Lancashire, and the panniers are from New Zeeland.</p>
<p>The international flavour doesn't stop there as, apart from my club jersey which was hand made somewhere in the south of England, there is very little clothing which hasn't come from somewhere else in the world.  If I list the items of clothing I'm wearing by country, China, Thailand, India, Italy, France, USA, Palestine, I've visited three of the five continents already. Items in the bags have travelled just as far, spanning Europe from West to East, Scandinavia, South America and Asia; it might have been easier to say almost everywhere except Africa.</p>
<p>We have moved a long way from the times when every cycle component would have a 'Made In Britain' stamp on it.  In those days to own Italian cycle-shoes or have French gear-sprockets fitted to the hub was the exception and something rather exotic.  Now the opposite is true and while some things are different I'm not sure it has made anything genuinely better.  There are still those who like to flash their cycles around but the ones who get the most admiring looks often own machines which are actually 'Made in Britain'.</p>

Ce l&#8217;hanno fatta, è provato. &#8220;Uh-Oh!&#8221;, la macchina in grado di viaggiare attrave]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://lanozionedeltempo.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/tipsy_uh-oh.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-289" src="http://lanozionedeltempo.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/tipsy_uh-oh.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="200" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Ce l'hanno fatta, è provato. "Uh-Oh!", la macchina in grado di viaggiare attraverso lo spazio e il tempo, è stata realizzata con successo a San Francisco dai due ingegneri David Gardner e Tim Digulla nel 2001. Anche se la notizia del veicolo del team dei Tipsy non è ancora giunta alle orecchie di tutti. [Probabilmente perché <em>non</em> è un viaggio da tutti]. Ma dato che ogni volta che posso mi ci faccio un giro, condividerò un mio diario di bordo.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Si accendono i motori con "Hard Petting", e poco dopo un flauto annuncia l'arrivo nella buffa giungla di "Papaya Freeway". "Hey!", è tempo di andare via, bpm più sostenuti, fischi e suoni bizzarri, uniti a fiati repentini e chitarre anni '50 segnano il passaggio della navicella Uh-Oh!. Ed ecco l'arrivo in un'altra destinazione: "Sweet Cinnamon Punch", un vero e proprio idillio tessuto da clarinetti e corde, con delle parentesi <!--more-->di tensione impreviste: è ora di ripartire, questa volta navighiamo un fiume in direzione di "Neon Tetra", un bosco abitato da una fauna misteriosa, in parte curiosa in parte inquietante. Con "Wig Out" siamo di nuovo in moto, il viaggio si fa di nuovo movimentato, e con le chitarre e le batterie di "Reverse Cowgirl" si sta nel mezzo di un avventura nelle pianure statunitensi, la vicenda sembra avere addirittura del <em>circense</em>. La tappa successiva, "Swallowtail" è nuovamente un'immersione in qualche imprecisato angolo umido e ombroso, con tanto di danze a tratti solenni a tratti scherzose con le ninfe del posto; si cambia completamente rotta per raggiungere "Moisture Seekers", una spy-story in cui ci si muove di soppiatto. Una leva urtata accidentalmente ci porta da tutt'altra parte: ci troviamo in "Kitty Takes A Ride", una strana storia vagamente infantile con qualche strano presentimento.. e la sensazione di buio e angoscia prende la forma di "Fur Teacup", finchè non viene diluita dai pianoforti e archi rivoltati dell'oceano di "Pink Mood" dal quale veniamo lentamente risucchiati e quasi coccolati. E' tempo di svegliarsi e rimettersi in cammino, è tempo di "Bunny Kick", una spensierata danza tra canti femminili e percussioni.. ma qualcosa <em>va storto</em>, nuovamente. "Suez Motel", bassi, sitar e chitarra ci accompagnano mentre cerchiamo di nasconderci dentro un harem per sfuggire da qualche misteriosa creatura, che ci fiuta e ci scova proprio quando ci credevamo al sicuro. Cose incredibili. Per fortuna riusciamo a rimetterci in moto per tempo, e siamo in fuga per "XXXmas", uno splendido e rassicurante mondo dove un basso ci tiene sempre in movimento e tutto è avvolto da xilofoni e piccole percussioni metalliche. Giungiamo quasi per caso a "Seaweed", probabilmente a causa di una corrente imprevista o chissà per quale ragione.. l'atmosfera è morbida ma è come se fossimo ineluttabilmente attratti, aspirati, da qualcosa di grande e impreciso: si tratta delle profondità marine di "Zombie's Mood", la discesa è verticale e la pressione aumenta, tutto sembra finito.. finchè dei fasci di luce illuminano quello che sembra essere l'ingresso per una falda che conduce a "Eclipse Of The Sun Virgin", meta conclusiva [ma non per questo meno strana] del viaggio, tra voci e archi portatori di messaggi celati.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Stronzate e soggettività a parte, "Uh-Oh!" è una sorta di sostanza psicotropa in formato audio. Il piccolo miracolo orchestrato da Gardner e Digulla [concretizzato grazie ad un gruppo di musicisti che comprende theremin, percussioni, chitarre, pianoforti, fiati e tanto altro] è talmente variegato, intricato e suggestivo che risulta difficile da descrivere o catalogare, se non come un incontro tra l'exotica e dell'elettronica sperimentale un po' <em>vintage</em>. Se avete apprezzato l'electro-tropicalia di Daedelus o se avete il poster di Les Baxter in camera, o se cercate qualcosa di veramente <em>strano</em> e stimolante, recuperatevi assolutamente i Tipsy.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Este artículo fue publicado originalmente en la revista <em>Urbe01</em>. No. 7, marzo-abril de 2002.</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Por Miriam Licon Luna</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">En los años 60, Ray Martin, un desconocido músico alemán, decía ser un apasionado<span> </span>de todos los ritmos "exóticos", desde el mambo al cha-cha–cha pasando por la <em>samba</em> y el tango. Su fascinación se podría sintetizar en una de las frases que aparecen en los comentarios de su disco <em>Martín Goes Latin</em>: “Llámenme Raymundo Rodríguez Álvarez Pancho Martín. He sido mordido por el bicho latino”.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">Como Ray Martín, ha habido desde finales de los años 50 una gran cantidad de músicos inclinados hacia cierto exotismo, rasgo que nos permitiría definirlos como una especie de turistas; en un disco nos presentan su recorrido por América Latina, en el siguiente tal vez irán a África o a las Islas del Pacifico. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">Durante las últimas décadas hemos visto una enorme producción de discos en los cuales se podía escuchar lo mismo una <em>samba</em> que un cha-cha-cha o algún sonido del Pacifico, que bien podría ser Hawai, Birmania o las Polinesias, ¿y por qué no? siempre queda la posibilidad de incluir algún <em>track</em> con un “toque” africano o del lejano oriente. Algunos hicieron del exotismo un sonido sumamente particular, tal es el caso de Martin Denny, Les Baxter o Arthur Lyman durante los años 50 y 60 en Estados Unidos. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">En el curso de la historia de la música popular, se pueden distinguir las interpretaciones en las que se logra establecer un buen dialogo entre tradiciones musicales de aquellas otras determinadas por el estereotipo. En estas últimas el resultado esta sujeto a una necesidad de<span> </span>reproducir algún rasgo "típico" que le permita al<span> </span>oyente reconocer algo, algún signo de esa exótica lejanía, y,<span> </span>al músico, la comodidad de recrear la alteridad geográfica y cultural sin perturbar su condición de turista, es decir, sin que implique un esfuerzo mayor que la mera referencia; poner por aquí una maraca, por allá unos bongoes o un grito de chango. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">En sus inicios los sonidos estándares de lo exótico se producían para deleite de la cultura de masas de posguerra y de aquellos que podían recordar algunas vacaciones y, por otro lado, también<span> </span>para aquellos que simplemente subían el volumen de sus fonógrafos e imaginaban desde su jardín la apacibilidad de la lejanía, las palmeras, el carnaval y el calor tropical sin que el sonido los perturbara llevándolos a un lugar<span> </span>en particular, en el que pudieran encontrar la incomodidad de una situación “no paradisíaca”.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">Tal vez esa experiencia de los años 50 y 60 no esté muy lejana de aquella que tiene un escucha de los 90 que se encuentra, en una recopilación de <em>chill-out </em>de Ibiza, con un remix llamado “Pollaro Collaro” en el que se usa un <em>sampler</em> de la celebre cumbia “La Pollera  Colorada”.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">Este es tal vez el caso mas obvio, pero no deja de ser interesante por qué esta imagen de lo exótico (vinculada al turismo) sigue presente en el imaginario musical de la cultura popular después de tanto tiempo. Y tal vez la pregunta sea específicamente hacia la música electrónica ¿En qué sentido nos brinda una experiencia distinta?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">Dentro del espectro de la música electrónica podríamos establecer algunas diferencias respecto al uso de ciertos sonidos. Tal es el caso de no muchas propuestas, entre ellas la de <strong>Masters At Work</strong>, quienes en su proyecto <em>Nuyorican Soul</em>, muestran un clara conciencia de la memoria, (cosa muy distinta a la nostalgia) estableciendo una continuidad con el proyecto musical de las diversas producciones de los <em>nuyoricans</em><span> </span>(puertorriqueños asentados en Nueva York), como son la salsa, el jazz, la música disco y el hip hop.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">Por otro lado tenemos la fiebre introducida por el “bicho” brasileño en la música electrónica. En el marco de la imaginación digital hemos visto, desde los primeros años de los 90, la proliferación de trabajos alrededor de la <em>samba</em>, el <em>bossa nova</em> y el <em>afrobeat</em>. Sin embargo, el tiempo ha querido ponernos a prueba. Las posibilidades tecnológicas han traspasado, o cuando menos dejado en segundo plano, el problema del virtuosismo y las capacidades interpretativas respecto a los instrumentos (siempre se puede usar el <em>sampler</em> o el <em>loop</em>), y ha puesto sobre la mesa otros problemas tales como el desplazamiento de la idea de originalidad para dejar en su lugar el de la memoria, por un lado, y el de la nostalgia, por otro.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">No se trata de que la música se presente tal y como se escuchaba antes, sino de la elección que se hace de un espacio y un tiempo determinados: en este caso el Brasil<span> </span>de los años 60 y 70 o, mejor, de la representación que la industria cultural europea y estadounidense hizo de esta región en esas décadas. Habría que pensar entonces si el exotismo ha desaparecido con la utilización y mezcla de otros ritmos (<em>house</em>, tecno, <em>drum n’ bass</em>, <em>down tempo</em>) o si muy al contrario se ha creado todo un mercado que sigue explotando la imagen de “lo exótico”, ahora<span> </span>incorporada a los universos musicales de la electrónica. Tal vez ahora más que antes se nos exija estar atentos a toda la amplia producción de sonidos y estilos musicales sin olvidar que el sonido representa algo mas que una imagen acústica.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">Los sonidos están en algunos casos enclavados en espacios míticos como lo es el continente Africano, Brasil mismo y la incendiaria Tijuana. La presencia de esta última ciudad mexicana en los paisajes imaginarios del exotismo contemporáneo no ha dejado de estar presente. Tijuana ha desplazado del imaginario global los cocos y palmeras y ha colocado en su lugar la "salvaje" vida nocturna<span> </span>de esa ciudad fronteriza, por muchos considerada el paraíso de la modernidad cuando no el laboratorio. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">Nortec</span></strong><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"> es el caso obvio y, sólo por decirlo, el más revelador. Podríamos cuestionar la idea de la frontera que subyace al proyecto <strong>Nortec</strong>, pero por otro lado no podemos dejar de apreciar el extraordinario trabajo que han realizado. No se trata en última instancia de que apreciemos su música por ser ellos “nativos”. Pues no olvidemos que el imaginario de lo exótico latino fue también alimentado por algunos músicos de origen latinoamericano en un gesto que podría definirse como autoexotizante. Más bien se trata de establecer una diferencia entre la producción de un sonido simplemente exótico, y del trabajo que se hace sobre cierta tradición musical, y que de alguna u otra manera busca ir más allá. El trabajo de <strong>Nortec</strong>, como el de algunos otros proyectos, logra establecer un exitoso diálogo entre la música norteña y la música electrónica. En este sentido alcanza a escapar a la idea clásica del exotismo, marcado por la enorme pasividad de un sonido que solo es tomado como ambientación de un lejano paraíso turístico.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">Habrá pues, que distinguir una amplia variedad de proyectos, que van desde Uwe Schmidt y su proyecto como <strong>Señor Coconut</strong>, al sello germano <strong>Compost Records</strong>, el colectivo <strong>Jazzanova</strong>, <strong>Masters At Work</strong> o el mismo <strong>Nortec</strong>, y estar atentos a todas aquellas cosas que cada uno esta poniendo en juego en ese intercambio de<span> </span>imágenes y estereotipos. Brasil, Tijuana, Angola o Mozambique, Etiopía y Río de Janeiro o Bahía, viven transfigurados en los nuevos paisajes del exotismo musical electrónico del presente.</span></p>

 <br />
<strong>Robert Drasnin</strong> deserves a solid spot in the history of exotica for his 1959 album “Voodoo” (also released with a different cover as “Percussion Exotique”), which exemplifies the genre as well as the best of Martin Denny or Les Baxter. Following its release, in fact, he was hired to arrange Denny's “Latin Village” album. Raised in Los Angeles, Drasnin started as an alto sax player, working with Tommy Dorsey, Les Brown, and other big bands. He later switched to flute and performed with small combos, including Red Norvo's. After the early 1950s, he worked primarily as a studio musician and arranger. He did graduate work in composition at UCLA in the mid-1950s and became an associate conductor of the UCLA Symphony. He eventually became musical director for CBS television, where he scored such shows as "Lost in Space" and "The Wild, Wild West." He and Gerald Fried handled most of the scoring work on "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." after Lalo Schifrin left. Drasnin also scored the films "The Hot Angel," "Picture Mommy Dead," "Ride the Whirlwind," and "The Kremlin Letter." He currently teaches film music composition at UCLA and has been rediscovered with the new revival of exotica.</p>
<p>In 2007, Drasnin collaborated with archivist and arranger Skip Heller and X drummer D.J. Bonebrake (on vibes) to record and release “Voodoo II.” Drasnin has been playing selections from both discs at various festivals around the country and in Europe with members of local symphony orchestras. He will be performing his exotic sounds live at the 8th annual Tiki Oasis festival in San Diego on August 15.</p>
<p>A special limited numbered 7” picture disc with tracks from both Drasnin CDs and artwork by <strong>Shag</strong> and <strong>Heather Watts</strong> will be on sale at this event. Canadian artist Watts will be on hand to sign the disc with Drasnin.</p>

<description><![CDATA[In installment #2, I believe I mentioned that there would be more albums regarding a white person]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-346" src="http://strider01.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/cover103.jpg?w=282" alt="" width="282" height="300" />In <a href="http://strider01.wordpress.com/2008/07/20/crappy-album-covers-2/" target="_blank">installment #2</a>, I believe I mentioned that there would be more albums regarding a white person's idea of Africa.</p>
<p>Now, there are times that, due to the difficulty in getting black people to act like our stereotypes of them, we must instead get white people to do our dirty work for us.</p>
<p>Dave Harris and the Powerhouse Five would like to remind you that despite social objections, cannibalism can be a good thing for everybody. See the nice lady in the burning pot? Look at how much fun she seems to be having! Wouldn't you just like to join her?</p>
<p>"Dinner Music for a Pack of Hungry Cannibals" was released by Decca in 1960. Not much more info seems to exist on the band. Except that one blogger observed that the chick in the pot looks a lot like Hilary Clinton. There are still reissues being made of the work of this band on Rhino Records.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-344" src="http://strider01.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/cover75.jpg?w=287" alt="" width="287" height="300" />Anna Russell here has angered the local native population because she was playing with someone's bongo drums without asking. You know how it is. How would you feel if you knew your house guest was playing with your drum kit or your guitar that you worked so hard to tune up? Non-musical people don't seem to sympathise with these things, and just barge in and use our stuff anyway, and it angers us. I don't have any spears to throw at them, but gosh, I would find something.</p>
<p>Notice also the kinds of loincloths the natives are wearing. They look like Scottish kilts without the tartan; cut instead from maybe a tablecloth. Anna Russell, who died in 2006, was a vocalist and comedienne, whom we can't be sure if her birthplace is London, England or London, Ontario.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-345" src="http://strider01.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/cover71.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="289" />Another Decca 1956 recording, "Africa Speaks, America Answers" shows a nice effort to try and establish diplomacy. I understand many people from the that continent will still find it humorous in the sense that Africa always seems to be discussed as if it were just one country.</p>
<p>The artists here are cited as "Guy Warren with the Red Saunders Orchestra under the direction of Gene Esposito". I am able to suss out that Guy Warren is the black guy on the bongos, whose birth name is Warren Gamaliel Akwei. He has worked with such greats as Theolonius Monk and Charlie Parker. Warren, who now goes by the name of Kofi Ghanaba, now lives in Ghana.</p>
<p><a href="http://tackyraccoons.com/2008/06/12/pretty-awful-album-covers/"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-347" src="http://strider01.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/tacky_raccoons_album1.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="288" /></a>The Limbo has a lot of symbolic significance these days, in North American culture, especially with the effects of free trade on ordianry people. "How low can you go?" is not just for that young lady in the pink dress anymore. It is for labour standards, environmental standards, oh, don't get me started.</p>
<p>I just wonder, if the limbo rod (or whatever that horizontal thing is called) burns through and burning pieces fall on top of her, does she "lose" this limbo contest? Can she sue for injuries?</p>

    Teachers in the woods!  Climbing rocks and jumpin&#8217; in waterfalls! That&#8217;s what]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"> <a href="http://raleighnaturalist.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/teachers-in-homes-forest_1_11.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-274" src="http://raleighnaturalist.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/teachers-in-homes-forest_1_11.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>    Teachers in the woods!  Climbing rocks and jumpin' in waterfalls! That's what I call a workshop! For 5 very full days, two dozen educators traveled the <a href="http://www.visitwaterfalls.com/" target="_blank">Land of Waterfalls</a>, centered around the <a href="http://www.uwm.edu/Course/geosci697-tectonic/GroupC/WEB/brevard_fault_zone.htm" target="_blank">Brevard fault</a>, seeing some amazing geology, flora, and fauna with the staff of, and presenters for, the Pisgah Forest Institute.  We got treated like teacher queens for a day (okay, <strong>one</strong> other guy besides me as kings in this group of elementary school teachers).  We got free stuff, wonderful information and some great hikes.</p>
[caption id="attachment_276" align="aligncenter" width="533" caption="teachers in the Little River!"]<a href="http://raleighnaturalist.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/pool-at-base-of-dry-triple_1_1.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-276" src="http://raleighnaturalist.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/pool-at-base-of-dry-triple_1_1.jpg" alt="teachers in the Little River!" width="533" height="400" /></a>[/caption]
<p>   The <a href="http://www.pisgahforestinstitute.org/" target="_blank">Pisgah Forest Institute </a>is an initiative of <a href="http://www.brevard.edu/" target="_blank">Brevard College </a>- a beautiful campus that is ancient as a 2 year college but only 14 years old as a 4 year.  PFI focuses on "the earth and environmental science needs educators encounter in their classrooms. "  The workshops are funded partly through grants from the USDA Forest Service.  This part of the mountains receives more annual rainfall than anywhere in the continental U.S. except for the Northwest temperate rain forests (or would if there weren't a severe drought).  There is a unique feel to the wilderness areas and even more so to the farmland, it seemed to me this trip.  Rich, well cultivated fields and not so much the hard scrabble feel you see (disappearing) in the northern section of our mountains.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://raleighnaturalist.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/rarin-back_1_1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-280" src="http://raleighnaturalist.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/rarin-back_1_1.jpg?w=64" alt="" width="64" height="96" /></a></p>
<p>     The town of Brevard hosts a <a href="http://www.brevardmusic.org/" target="_blank">Music Center</a>, has a nice college/tourist shop and bar scene, and is famous for - did I mention them?, - the white squirrels.  These little guys just blew me away, and set me off on an extended online chase to research white squirrels.  There was a lot to find. The <a href="http://www.brevardnc.org/historyws.php" target="_blank">local history</a> traces their origin to an overturned carnival truck in 1949.  There is a <a href="http://whitesquirrelinstitute.com/" target="_blank">research institute</a> devoted to them, a <a href="http://http://whitesquirrelfestival.com/" target="_blank">White Squirrel Festival </a>each year in Brevard, and of course a <a href="http://whitesquirrel.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">White Squirrel Lover's blog</a>.  The very best picture I found online is on a <a href="http://www.city-data.com/picfilesc/picc3777.php" target="_blank">realty site</a>, and clearly the white squirrel is a promotion bonanza for the town of Brevard, though their claim to fame is <a href="http://www.roadsideamerica.com/set/squirrels.html" target="_blank">not without controversy</a> (other "homes of the white squirrel").</p>

<p>     The PFI would educate and inform us and then take us on a related field trip.  We made 3 major expeditions: <a href="http://www.ncesf.org/HESF/home.htm" target="_blank">Holmes Educational State Forest</a>, <a href="http://www.stateparks.com/caesars_head.html" target="_blank">Caeser's Head State Park</a>, and a new amenity, <a href="http://www.hikewnc.info/trailheads/dupont/index.html" target="_blank">Dupont State Park</a>, which contains several spectacular waterfalls.  We also conducted a stream activity at the trout hatchery on the Davidson River. Each place offered valuable lessons and experiences.  At Holmes, which is <a href="http://www.historichendersonville.org/holmes_state_forest.htm" target="_blank">open to the public</a>, we practiced tree i.d. and took the "talking tree" walk.  Caeser's Head offered spectacular views of the Piedmont vista as seen from the edge of the Blue Ridge system.  So many wonderful pictures - I offer an album at the end of the post, and many of the following text images are linked to a picture.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img style="display:block;cursor:hand;text-align:center;margin:0 auto 10px;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_IHh7aNBoUa0/SJHG4-hOryI/AAAAAAAAAxA/I6-Kn01VbP4/s400/Piedmont+from+Caesar%27s+Head_1_1_1.JPG" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p>     The park gots its name from a <a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_IHh7aNBoUa0/SJHHE3Nt53I/AAAAAAAAAxI/w6kd-80C25s/s1600-h/Caesar%27s+Head_1_1.JPG" target="_blank">head-shaped rock</a> that protrudes from the highest viewpoint.  Across the chasm, you see Tablerock Mountain, a monolith of intruded younger rock whose side is painted by the staining action of rainwater.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_IHh7aNBoUa0/SJHGwKgQABI/AAAAAAAAAw4/_LMpFsiFIUM/s1600-h/Tablerock+and+reservoir_1_1.JPG" target="_blank"><img style="display:block;cursor:hand;text-align:center;margin:0 auto 10px;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_IHh7aNBoUa0/SJHGwKgQABI/AAAAAAAAAw4/_LMpFsiFIUM/s400/Tablerock+and+reservoir_1_1.JPG" border="0" alt="" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">      <a href="http://www.hikewnc.info/trailheads/dupont/index.html" target="_blank">Dupont</a>, after a decent hike, offered beautiful waterfall views, including some used in <strong>The Last of the Mohicans.</strong>  Here the <a href="http://home.att.net/~cochrans/brevrd01.htm" target="_blank">Brevard Fault</a> is in full view, fracturing and pushing til some of the huge blocks become <a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_IHh7aNBoUa0/SJHEZAdln7I/AAAAAAAAAvY/x8HCJ04S6_I/s1600-h/tree+on+block_1_1.JPG" target="_blank">square tree planters</a>.  The <a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_IHh7aNBoUa0/SJHFQH-C3nI/AAAAAAAAAv4/Q9wDaxcnGqU/s1600-h/Little+River,+Dupont_1_1.JPG" target="_blank">Little River</a> winds its way down the <a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_IHh7aNBoUa0/SJHGEMHpmuI/AAAAAAAAAwY/GPtPJCZOJ88/s1600-h/Triple+at+distance_1_1.JPG" target="_blank">rock cascades</a>, though it was quite low the day my pictures were taken.</p>

<p>Yazar arkadaş lisede kız arakdaşlarıyla birlikte izlemiş. Bu film büyük yankılar uyandırırken ben daha portakalda vitamindim ama duydum methini duydummm. İzlemek 2003 senesine nasip olmuş ve neden Kim Basinger'ı sevdiğimin bir kanıtı olarak hafizama kazınmıştır. Oy oy oy oy oy...</p>
<p>Lolita</p>
<p>Listedeki Lolita filmi 1997 versiyon ki insan düşünüyor ne oluyo kardeşim diye. şimdi biz bu olaya sapkınlık, sübyancılık diyoruz ama adamlar birşey demiyor. Gerçi lolita da lolita idi ama neyse bana ne. İşte Jeremy Irons'ın oyunculuğu mükemmeldi.</p>
<p>Not: lolita aslen bir roman kahramanı ve hikaye de bir romandır. Filmi izleyeceğinize Vladimir Nabokov 'un bu şahane romanını okuyun der ahali...</p>
<p>Shortbus</p>
<p>Geçtiğimiz yıl İstanbul'da festival kapsamında da gösterilmiş, benim de "ulen adamlar festivalde de gösteriyor ki bir bildikleri var demek ki " deikten sonra izlediğim ve ilk sahnede midemin allak bullak olduğu ancak konu itibariyle ilişkileri anlatan (Eİlişki danışmanına giden eşcincel çifte yardımcı olmak isteyen danışmanın da sorunlarının olması falan... ) ilginç bir film. Filmin başlangıcındaki abiyi ısrarla geçmenizi öneririm. Unutmadan bu film +18...</p>
<p>Y Tu Mamá También</p>
<p>Bir festival filmi dahaydı geçmiş yıllardan... İzledim anlamadım bir daha izledim yine anlamadım. Yaşlı abla ile iki genç delikanlı. Yok abicim bu liste çığrından çıkmaya başladı...</p>
<p>Chocolate</p>
<p>Oh be adam gibi bir film. Filmde herşey mevcut. Johhy Depp abimin bakışları, siyah saçlı, Fransız çikolatacı ablam ve çikolata kaplı eller. Fazla fetiş odlu : )</p>
<p>Unfaithful</p>
<p>Yorum bile yapmayacağım. Yok abicim bana ters bu filmina dı...</p>
<p>The Dreamers</p>
<p>3 öğrencinin 68 Fransa'sında yaşadıkları ilişkileri anlatıldığı kışkırtıcı faland eğil düpedüz hard bir film. kaçın uzaklaşın bu liste iyice sapıttı : )</p>
<p>Exotica</p>
<p>Sanat için mi striptiz yoksa striptiz için mi sanat. Ben ne saçmalıyorum ya. Film Demii moore'un striptease filminden iyi kesinlikle ve tahrik gücü yüksek..</p>
<p>The Virgin Suicides ve Marie Antoinette</p>
<p>Kirsten Dunst diyim ben size... Virgin Suicides deki fimin sonuna doğru kapı kenarındaki o seksi hareketleri yeter de artar bile...</p>

<p>In producing AIFW, the Atlanta Fashion Network plans to shape fashion and style by displaying what Atlanta has to offer in fashion to the world.  Atlanta is known to be a chief influence and birthplace of numerous mainstream musicians and genres, however it is the goal of AIFW Director, <strong>Paula Whittle</strong>, to have Atlanta recognized as an emerging fashion capital.  She says: “Atlanta is known as a music Mecca, but is now becoming a site for fashion stimulus, and can now play a major role in the fashion arena and gain international recognition. I want to bridge the two to create a powerful, innovative convergence.”  With that, the Atlanta International Fashion Week welcomes international designers and models from various countries such as Africa, Argentina, Brazil, Puerto Rico, the United Kingdom, and the Virgin Islands.</p>
<p>Atlanta International Fashion Week will offer innovative and informative workshops and fashion based curricula within Pretty Academy School of Fashion.  Classes will be instructed by industry experts and AIFW Fashion Council such as <strong>Leo Marshall</strong> (Celebrity Photographer), <strong>Mychael Knight </strong>(Project Runway, Celebrity Designer), <strong>Sybil Pennix</strong> (Celebrity Stylist) and many more. In addition, AIFW will feature an exquisite and innovative trunk show, “Fashion Store” and premiere fashion runway shows.</p>
<p>AIFW will feature catwalk favorites modeling fall’s hottest looks with showcases from famous lines such as Tboz’s Chase Closet, Ed Hardy, Rock &#38; Republic, True Religion, Akademiks, Apple Bottoms, Enyce, Baby Phat, Phat Farm, Rocawear, and Young Jeezy’s 8732, plus many more. Some of the elaborate shows include Kouture Kids, Urbanstyle Fashion Affair, Exotica, Fantasy Island, Curvy Couture, PRIVE Fashion Affair, and Men of Style to cater to the style in everyone.</p>
<p>Come to Atlanta to experience the convergence of the most powerful ideas and most powerful network.  From Wednesday to Sunday, you’ll be immersed in actionable learning and profitable exchange.  Atlanta International Fashion Week has teamed up with the fashion industry’s internationally renowned elite to afford aspiring designers and models the opportunity to network, learn, and enjoy the best that Atlanta has to offer in fashion, style, glamour, and nightlife at various acclaimed venues, night clubs and restaurants.  This star-studded affair will be entertaining and designed to benefit local and national charities all in the name of fashion.  Some of the many AIFW supporters and partners include Inside Fashion World Magazine, Mymodeltalk.com, DTLR, Elvie G Public Relations, Paul Mitchell School, John Robert Powers, JPat Records, Mallard Magazine, Dan Agency, La La Sincerely Inc, and many more.</p>
