Know thyself
(Excerpts from the Christmas message of Amma, 24 Dec 2010, Amritapuri)
"Every time celebrations and festivals are held, Amma gives a message. However, in reality, these messages are not different, they are all one. Their essence is one. Although there are many religions, spirituality has a single message. The fact is that this message comes in different ways.
"If you put it in a sentence, this message is "Know thyself." This is the supreme message. This message is not only relevant to the spiritual path. Regardless of our chosen field of action, if we get results, we must first know our own shakti-power. We must know our strengths and our weaknesses. This is a level "is a self-knowledge." However, to understand themselves only in the mind is not the peak of self-knowledge. For this, we need to go deeper. Why to know ourselves, in mind, we are not to receive all our strengths and weaknesses, nor are we able to transcend them. On the other hand, the message given to us by the scriptures is: "are not neither weak nor helpless. You are the source of unlimited power. "This is the ultimate reality. Understanding this truth is the purpose of life. This is the message that the Rishis and gurus have given to humanity in various ways depending on how long they lived.

What Stores Sell Proraso Shaving
Pollock, Picasso and Pina
SdFF. Week of forced vacation. It happens to everyone, unfortunately. From that pulpit is preaching. Just that I urge all in the performance of my duties to them to reduce costs as if it were a Everything he touches my pockets .... For me, the grand vizier of control spending, saving fairy Morgana, Harry Potter use funds in the balance sheet, the Merlin squaraus.
However, if you have to do let's do it, let's set a good example, but not to lose the training you can not stand with folded hands, and then, I take the painting operation. In fact, as gray is very fashionable this year, what characterizes my walls Milan, hue pollution, the trend color streaks heater must be removed as soon as possible.
Conscious of my ability, or inability, as you prefer, opt for pure white, I've got a red wall, which will be impossible to remove for ever and ever, all the rest, bring it to a bright white Lele Mora, I remember his apartment Videocracy? Here is the same: white Mora. I also have a
secchiellino of special paint for bathrooms and kitchens, I decided to start from, which are also the two smaller rooms of my house, humble approach always works. I try to brush and roller. But I am seized with an inspiration of unwarranted presumption, or perhaps we could call global ignorance and pockets the brush.
FATAL ERROR. FATAL ERROR. FATAL ERROR. True, to make a great wall, it does not take a large brush, but a big brush (Who said that? Voltaire seems to me), my is a media wall, and medium brush. The big O? Boh. However, my father said to me, starts from the corners, and is the only right thing to do.
DOGMA: FOR U SARE BRUSH MUST BE THE PROFESSIONALS.
Azzo laugh? There is no question of a sexual joke. You had seen my ceiling after the first hand you would understand: brush marks everywhere, magnificent white streaks on a gray background. Unless you are a painter, this is the result. Horror, two hours thrown away. Despair and pain. Not abbattiamoci. We make a point on the situation. I also have a roll. We make an attempt with the kitchen. But first we must prepare. Oh yes friends. Paint is the least, that's all around us the pain in sgnaus. Steps to move four hours, body wrap and all the furnishings and when the time comes to paint you are already destroyed by fatigue. But I have the answer. The roller. Brico be going, I'm going to buy the special container, and already there are cracks avarice, I also buy a roll! No, not a photographic film, a small roller to paint, just a roll. Will be a decision of a true professional. I'm beginning to "roll" in the kitchen ... perfect: I found the way, the truth, faith!
Fast, accurate and beautifully white. And with the film, scary angles. I'm the Picasso of the ceilings, the Pollock the walls, the kitchen Pina. I'm a bit 'exalting. I'm beginning to think to print flyers advertising my new business, business cards, website and custom overalls, as a gadget. Yes, it calms me down.
The second coat to the bathroom, rolling, is a masterpiece. Among other things, looking at the realization that working mirror ages, looking like the grandfather of Heidi, but what happened to my hair? I'm white! Roll = premature aging effect. Misery thief, his hair whitened by millions of tiny dots of paint. So I can imagine retiring.
secchiellino But I finished the first painting, I have to go down to the Brico to buy a nerd, because I still lack the hall, dining room and the rooms are bigger. Brico now to welcome me with a standing ovation, I increased the turnover of the month are already down 13 times because I always forget something: masking tape? Cellophane to cover the furniture? Vacuum cleaner bags? That's exactly. Bought one at a time.
So I go to the DIY department and I start to look at the wall paintings with the same care with which to view a showcase of Armani. What will it take to choose a bucket? Easy. A friend tells me, washable water-based paint. Why? I ask no questions, I do. Sounds easy but there are millions of paints! Breathable. What is it? On the wall spotted with his arm? Acrylic. For those who are allergic to cotton? Boero. must be a painting with chocolate, to lick the walls in times of sadness. Quartz. And what do you do? Tune the alarm? mold. Mica are so bad! In the end I choose Max Meyer, because I recognize the brand, I recognize the dog with the brush in his mouth, I like this brand! I must have seen used by the father. Now grab the bucket of 14 liters. I am not saying that around the store with the white head and tattooed with patches of camouflage paint the first coat it? I feel very vague and as a craftsman who has never done anything in life.
underestimate the article, however, and when I try to lift the bucket with the rest locked back when the bucket is not moving an inch, "Hello hernia." A thoughtful committed tells me I bring a shopping cart? BUT YOU crazy? And as he is dependent on the truck? Why so he did not sell. Dragging the bucket to the cashier. I've already lost 8 years of life. How do I drag all the way home? About 300 meters.
I leave the shop and I move practically lifting the bucket up to where there's moving his arms and resting on the ground. Every step 1 meter. 10 seconds per meter. What it will take me to get home? 50 minutes. Very good. Will spring forward to the primroses. Block Traffic quarter of an hour to cross the street. At mid-term meeting: 1) an old woman: "oh poor girl, I wonder how heavy it is." Moment commiserate. 2) a girl who weighs 20 kg wet: "Should you take it I?" Would not bear even the cover is lifted. Moment indulgence. 3) an Arab boy: "Zignora painting? I'll take up where? "I look at it as if I had seen the Holy Grail and I agree. Moment gratitude. He tells me that is painting the building in front of me and left his phone number in case I need "Zignora Brava." Tell me again that you Zignora painting again walk. But it was really useful, alone I would not have ever made. Meanwhile
bother to finish it all. No, not all, funny, everything, everything that can not be moved and placed under a plastic sheet to be insulated with tape and newspaper. And curse the corridor is full of wood paneling, it takes me a day just to isolate. Have more scope for pure painting, all the corollary makes me a little 'suck, you see that I have the artistic soul! In my company will take someone to do this part, I will limit myself to the walls and ceiling! Pure art, I also specialize in color. Responding to market needs. Make the ceiling
however, is to an agony. But how heavy the roller soaked with his neck? How far is it? At the end of the day are destroyed. I hurt my back ... and not just go up and down the stairs has reinforced the B-side for sure, but I can not sit down! And in the morning when I wake up in the right arm wakes up 30 minutes after me and joins me in the kitchen drinking coffee at your leisure. I lost a pound, do not underestimate this point.
After a week I finished everything! A masterpiece! Invite friends to turn to dinner to see the work completed, it was not even the Sistine chapel and threatened them when they spotted a mistake in the case wall. They do not dare to tell me that and I guess they feel sorry for the faces of stunned surprise: "Oh but as he came good !!!"! I believe so. To be sure everything is clean and white, but now my eye sees flaws expert ... After that I created was the first time. car celebratory moment.
In any case, it was a very useful process, pound apart, in the meantime I threw bags of useless things, like the instructions for appliances in this house are never entered. Magazines of 1997, interested in? Guided Tours of the city do not exist, like Antarctica, some shirt with shoulder pads I wore in high school and boxes of technological products that occupy the place. I am sure that I will need the exact moment in which they will enter the local garbage I had the foresight to put all the instructions in a box.
So, if you need: NADIA ROLL & C. - Specialist in painting and discard it.

Kate Ground Shower Stream
In this post I show you a drawing done so while I was waiting for a customer at work.
This is a development of a K 1300 R even more exclusive version! I imagined a monocoque carbon (so as to lighten a little the weight of the Teutonic racer), the driving position does not change the original so that it may be convenient to use even a couple! incorporated into the headlight shell that has a lighthouse under plexiglas as the visor of a helmet goes up and down making a fairing that protects the pilot from the air. The discharge was a mistake by creating the proper discharge loosely based on that of the MV Brutale, the latter was raised from the original thinning and reduce to a minimum, the number plate is one with the stop / arrows are positioned to the sides of the plate. You like it?

Installer2 Mfc Application Has Stopped Working
you and I - N. Ammaniti
Ammaniti is a guarantee. I admire him because he manages to write so wonderful things completely different. His book has nothing to do with each other yet they are all damn nice. Begin, you can not break away because you know how it ends, the characters will come in and we will affections. As God had literally kidnapped me, I do not have the same fear and then Let the party begin, which is I liked less, but it is another planet in terms of history and therefore recognize its ability to do things so different. I wish I could write like him, know how to make situations like that, that you seem to be there. In You and I, as Lorenzo does not like that instead of leaving for the ski ends in the cellar for a week to live this adventure that should be in total solitude, but not against his will? Final wonderful. 8:30 rating.

Katarzyna Wójcik- Baron Gliwice
Flickr's Interview: philipp a.
Well, I know this is my first post here Inglese! I do not want you
to waste your time on a boring introduction, my english is bad and the post speaks by itself.
This is the first interview of a series I would try to do with photographers that I appreciate on Flickr. I think there are many talents out there and it would be great to know them better.
I came across philipp a. photography many months ago and I started loving his portraits immediately.
His shots are very intense and I love the way he printed in his darkroom.
Let's know him!
1. Hi Philipp, can you introduce yourself to our blog readers?
My name is Philipp Albrecht and I work and live in Mannheim, Germany. I'm a self-taught photographer since 2006.
2. How did you start with photography?
In december 2006 I re-discovered my father's old Minolta xe-1 and decided to shoot film from then on. So why film? Today it seems somewhat anachronistic and besides that more expensive and time-consuming than digital photography?! In my job I spend all day in front of a computer screen, so avoiding weekends spent with photoshop image processing was what made analog photography attractive for me in the first place.
The second major aspect for me was the haptic and sensual experience of using old film cameras with their graceful release clicks and manual focus wheels. Since 2008 the work in the darkroom has added another exciting dimension to my photographic experiments. It feels now more like a holistic process for me from framing an image in the viewfinder, regulating the right amount of light in the darkroom to finally holding a piece of paper with the created result in my hands.
3. When did you realize you have talent?
Well, receiving a couple of superficial comments or favs in online communities like flickr doesn't mean your talented. I still feel that I have to learn so much more and take many more pictures before I'm truly happy with the emotional and technical outcome. So many hobby photographers I know are so easily satisfied with what they are doing, enjoy some short term attention and don't try to develop any further.
4. Which photographs (or artist) do you admire and how do they influenced your work?
Nowadays the internet provides a comfortable way to look at thousands of different photos by all kinds of photographers. You don't have to necessarily go to art exhibitions or buy expensive photobooks to be inspired or to get an idea of what your personal way of portraying people might look like. The trick with this stupefyingly excessive supply of visual input is basically to keep a sane and critical mind with your own work as well as with the work of others. So who influenced my photographic work? The answer would actually be everbody! Which photographs (or artists) do you admire? Besides all those great but mostly nameless ambitious amateurs there are of course some photographers that I really like: Stephan Vanfleteren (http://www.stephanvanfleteren.com), Paolo Pellegrin (As I was dying) or Michael Ackerman (End time city) with their intense portraits as well as their documentaries are beside others very inspiring to me.
If you really study their work you begin to understand that an authentic and honest expression is far more important to make a great photograph than posing, emotions are more essential than skin deep beauty and a genuine environment can be telling more about someone than a fancy studio background.
5. How would you describe your style?
When I meet people I'm trying to catch an unfeigned and interesting expression while at the same time trying to avoid clichees or at least try to use and sometimes exaggerate them in a hopefully unconventional or clever way. That doesn't work out too often though.
6. What do you consider to be your best photos and why?
Mostly I fall in love with the latest pictures that worked out well in the darkroom. Only time and personal distance tells me if a photo is just a visual one-night stand, that is to say an attraction of nice textures or tones. Or if a picture turns out to be a longer-lasting love affair. So in the figurative sense I haven't met the love of my life yet, but here are some pictures that I'm still quite happy with.
7. How is your workflow?
Meeting friends, neighbours or strangers and trying to create a relaxed one to one situation is the first step. It's essential for me that people I portray have faith in me as a person as well as a photographer, because otherwise the results definitely show that there was something wrong on an emotional level. Sometimes it takes me 3-4 rolls of film to get 1 or 2 decent pictures, sometimes I'm happy after just shooting 2 rolls. After the shooting I usually wait for a couple of weeks before I take the negatives to the darkroom where I gradually try to approach the final print.
8. What about your gear?
I'm actually a lazy creature of habit, so too many different cameras or films would easily confuse me. That's why I almost always use a Pentax 645 for middleformat and my old Minolta for 35mm. I don't like using a flash so I try to get along with the available light and sometimes only use a reflector to get more light in the eyes. The films I use only vary between trix 400 or neopan 400.
9. Where Can We Admire your photography work?
So far only on flickr (link ), but I'm about to plan an exhibition for April 2011. I'll let you know then ...
10. There's something more You want to say?
Thank you!

How Many Members Do Average Gym Have
A tamtam entries must have preceded the arrival of Amma, because from the first meeting of Tuesday, October 12 the number of people present for the program was a lot of zeroes.
turnout truly extraordinary, and not just public but also of representatives of the media. TG of social networks and newspapers have given prominence to the news of the presence of Amma in the sixth as never before.
The participation of Dario For and Franca Rame (Franca Rame's Blog) and actor Beppe Convertini has revealed a new aspect of the program, an event that is now deeply rooted in public life, intellectuals and artists of our country.
The participation of the deputy mayor of Sesto San Giovanni, with the proposal to grant honorary citizenship to Amma the city, has shown how his presence gets a great recognition from all sectors of society. As always, Amma was radiant and ready for hours and hours.
"12,13,14 October 2010: Amma's embrace and return to Italy."
The final program is complete until 10:00 am on October 15, after a night during which Amma has continuously embraced the thousands of people who came from all over the country.
Comparison Elfa V. Rubbermaid
Macro-economy with Nikon Olympus 35 RC
Despite being a very special sector, macro photography has always generated great interest in who comes close to the SLR world. You can tell by browsing any forum or site dedicated to photography where the debates and articles on the topic abound.
A little macro shots because they a charm and a "spectacle" of their own and some are not so technically simple to make and require special skills and equipment.
There are several ways to approach to macro photography. Two are perhaps the most common and differ primarily by their different economic commitment required. But there is also a third way, less known, I had chosen and I shall describe later.
Who has money to spend can choose from a wide range of optical micro-class. With about 800 Euro a
AF-S VR Micro - Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED macro allows you to enter the world through the front door.
to save some you can watch at home Sigma, Tokina or Tamron, all macro lenses produce the highest level.
A Tamron SP 90mm f/2.8 D takes away "only" about 400 Euro.
And everything can be combined with a ring flash or expensive Nikon R1C1 system.
Then there is the economic way, what might be called "crock."
close-up lenses, extension rings, reverse the optics, etc. ...
All systems that allow magnification of a good standard with a standard 50mm.
Low prices but not up to quality optics specifically designed for close-ups.
If you want to experience this fascinating road you just do some research on the Internet. The web is full of sites on the subject.
The results can be obtained are sometimes surprising and most importantly it is definitely fun to experience these solutions for a few euro.
The third way, the least known, is one that I decided to follow me. Not wanting to spend figures "insane" for a professional last cry and not being satisfied with the results with close-up lenses, inversions, etc ... I did some research in a wide park Nikkor lenses of the past, keeping in mind that:
Basically, for their price and quality are two lenses that interest us:
Both arrive at a magnification of 1:2, they must be associated, to get a true macro magnification, for a ring extension (10 ~ 30 €).
short with just over 100 € you can get the same results as an AF-S Micro Nikkor 60mm f/2.8G ED costs 5 times as much.
We see that this system has flaws.
first be pointed out that the manual focus is not a problem. When you work in macro, as a rule, the minimum focusing distance and then moves the camera back and forth until you find the correct sharpness. E 'practice for almost all the shots.
Different speech for the exhibition. If you have a Nikon D300 or above the meter will work fine, but machines like my D70 it is a little complicated.
actually less than you think.
Click, you look at the histogram and adjusts the shot until you find the correct exposure.
There must be a curve with the peak more or less at the center of the X pixels to the extreme without having one meaning that areas burned or completely black.
If the peak is too far right image is superimposed, it is too far left is underexposed.
The important thing is to keep the graph within the limits of absolute black and white, because you can still adjust the exposure later in postproduction.
Another problem is the focus of these lenses: 55mm.
It means that the working distance for maximum magnification is only 25cm. This may make it difficult to capture insects and animals particularly shy. If you are a budding entomologist or a 105mm focal length the greater the better choice.
addition to optics, the other key tool in macro photography is the flash.
continue to look to the past can be found cost-effective solutions and professional way.
I possess two flashes:
The SB-25 is actually a little luxury, but I chose it because I can use it in TTL on my Nikon FE2 and D70 in the CAR.
For use in a macro it is important to use the flash off-camera. That is not mounted on the slide flash your machine but positioned (usually) side of the subject to add three-dimensionality to the scene.
How to order a remote flash?
The economical solution is to get the Chinese wireless flash trigger.
There are different brands (Although the basic patterns are actually a couple). I, with only 15 € I won a transmitter and two receivers Neewer CT-04 that work great.
Keep in mind that two flashes are not essential. A single flash and a small reflector on the opposite side of the subject to lighten the shadows will be good in 90% of occasions (I use the lids as a reflector of cardboard trays of food Cuki).
short, if you know ebay use, with about 150 € you will be able to have a complete kit for macro photography professionally. But the right equipment is no guarantee of good results, there is much to learn ... but that's another storia.
Despite being a very special sector, macro photography has always generated great interest in who comes close to the SLR world. You can tell by browsing any forum or site dedicated to photography where the debates and articles on the topic abound.
A little macro shots because they a charm and a "spectacle" of their own and some are not so technically simple to make and require special skills and equipment.
There are several ways to approach to macro photography. Two are perhaps the most common and differ primarily by their different economic commitment required. But there is also a third way, less known, I had chosen and I shall describe later.
Kit R1C1 Nikon |
Who has money to spend can choose from a wide range of optical micro-class. With about 800 Euro a
AF-S VR Micro - Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED macro allows you to enter the world through the front door.
to save some you can watch at home Sigma, Tokina or Tamron, all macro lenses produce the highest level.
A Tamron SP 90mm f/2.8 D takes away "only" about 400 Euro.
And everything can be combined with a ring flash or expensive Nikon R1C1 system.
Then there is the economic way, what might be called "crock."
close-up lenses, extension rings, reverse the optics, etc. ...
All systems that allow magnification of a good standard with a standard 50mm.

If you want to experience this fascinating road you just do some research on the Internet. The web is full of sites on the subject.
The results can be obtained are sometimes surprising and most importantly it is definitely fun to experience these solutions for a few euro.
The third way, the least known, is one that I decided to follow me. Not wanting to spend figures "insane" for a professional last cry and not being satisfied with the results with close-up lenses, inversions, etc ... I did some research in a wide park Nikkor lenses of the past, keeping in mind that:
- All optical Nikkor Ai and Ai-s produced since 1977 are qualunuque compatible with Nikon digital SLR.
- optics Ai and Ai-s are manual focus and patterns of entrylevel and prosumer cameras you also lose the use of the exposure.
- In photography macro focus when focus is strictly manual.
Basically, for their price and quality are two lenses that interest us:
Micro-Nikkor 55mm f/2.8 Ai-s |
- Micro-Nikkor 55mm f/2.8 Ai or Ai-s
- Micro-Nikkor 55mm f/3.5 Ai or Ai-s
Both arrive at a magnification of 1:2, they must be associated, to get a true macro magnification, for a ring extension (10 ~ 30 €).
short with just over 100 € you can get the same results as an AF-S Micro Nikkor 60mm f/2.8G ED costs 5 times as much.
