TOPICS OF INTEREST TO BLOG: 6 Food Onerous

food is called a substance that takes or receives a living for their nutrition, but not all essential nutrients are not available, there are some, which are not essential, are downright expensive since they are very expensive, eg



ANGLE (Anguilla anguilla)

-born catadromous fish in the sea, migrating to the rivers to grow and return to sea to reproduce, Al leptocephalus hatching and during a to three years feeding on plankton, undergoes a metamorphosis transforming into glass eels feed on fish, crabs and other invertebrates to reach adult size. Born as females, over time, to become elvers, some change sex.

All the eels are born in the Sargasso Sea in the Atlantic Ocean between Bermuda and Puerto Rico, form large masses that are entrained by the Gulf Stream, two years after reaching the coast eels and continue their journey on an individual basis by the flow of rivers of Europe -Spain, France, Britain and Scandinavia.

eels swim upstream and animals feed on the bottoms of rivers and lakes. All are clear, change color and may reach to be yellow, green or silver. Cooked and have a white color. In their long migration -over 5000 miles, over 2 to 3 years- crosses all kinds of natural barriers, including overland routes because it is able to absorb oxygen directly from air.


eel farming is highly appreciated in gastronomy, the juvenile eel is the only permitted fishing laws. The eels are caught at dusk at high tide, the tide time remains at its maximum height.

In its commercial stage tend to weigh a gram, measuring less than eight inches and have lived more than two years. Which can complete its cycle, in the course of 10 to 14 years, can reach a length of 60 to 80 centimeters, making it a golden color known as yellow eels.

In Spain's most famous dish is eel to Bilbao, but are also known in French cuisine. Demand for eel is greater than the catch, their rarity and high prices achieved, some call it "the gold of the sea." In November 2010, the eels from the estuary of Nalón broke a historic record, selling in San Juan de la Arena, Asturias, Spain, at a price of 2113 euros per kilo of eel.

The European eel is threatened by a nematode-Angullicola crassus, which infects and attacks, reversing the roles of the swim bladder, which is the hydrostatic body movement in the water and stores energy


VIEIRA (Pectinidae jacobaeus)

hermaphrodite bivalve mollusc, lamellibranch - having bilateral symmetry, cephalic region rudimentary gills and foot foliaceous ventral ax-shaped named after the Galician scallop or Aviner, the closest thing in Mexico is the scallops.

In some places has exploded more than it would be advisable, to avoid their extinction, fisheries measures have been regulated, but poachers mock controls in closed season. For example, your fishing is strictly regulated in France, which only allowed the extraction of these molluscs , which called coquille Saint Jacques- not less than 11 cm during the period 1 October to 15 May.

-16000 In France tons per year, the main fishing ports require that each boat with a permit special fishing using towed a metal structure to search the bottom and dig and recover the buried tanks. Normandy represents more than half of French production. About half of the production is sold outside the auction, by mutual agreement.

Fishermen sell the scallops to the packing at 4.47 Euros per kilo.

COLLEGE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF SAN GREGORIO, in VALLADOLID RADIATOR WITH SELF

has long had great desire to visit this museum. More than once she had tried, and for various reasons never had. So when a couple of weeks ago I was invited to eat at a pueblín close to Valladolid (agreeable food, incidentally, that here I thank the hosts), I saw it was the occasion: the day we left very early for lunch Madrid, and we arrived early, not much, but enough to visit the former National Museum of Sculpture, National Museum today COLLEGE OF SAN GREGORIO.

A real gem, a tesorazo. It is true he was looking forward very very willing, but not just my good attitude: we must recognize that what one is in Valladolid is magnificent. The collection is very good, how to expose is very good, the venue is very good, the reform of the seat is very good. I liked everything.

polychrome wood sculpture (not all there at the Museum is polychromed, but they are the vast majority of the pieces) has always seemed to have enormous strength, and can finish the work with many nuances the stone or metal are not always allowed. Devotional images are also looking to move the viewer. The mixture between the plastic capacity of painted wood and the exaltation of feeling is often overwhelming. When in the same place together masterpieces, the result is impressive. If, moreover, the pieces are set so that you can see every detail, the result is stunning (it is true to be able to see the pieces: the Museum as we see in positions and angles that are not provided for the artist, sometimes we may assume deformities or lack of proportion where there really is skill, appropriate scale to the scene, correct perspective, etc., but this is known, and the museum itself tells us). And if found above the break-even to teach everything of importance without cluttering the rooms and also enticed visitors, icing on the cake.
how I could not stay, or better, I'd take everything I saw. The pity that one finds in the first room, each piece of ALTARPIECE SAN BENITO ALONSO THE REAL BERRUGUETE, or the seating of the same convent work of Andrés de Najera, the BURIAL OF JUAN DE JUNI, the BAPTISM CHRIST or THE SIXTH STEP OF DISTRESS, of GREGORIO FERNANDEZ, SAN PEDRO DE ALCANTARA, PEDRO DE MENA scoring ... I could go back to back all the pieces, because all I found something, I stood in front of each.

The Museum has two locations in close proximity, and a third that should be rehabilitated. Almost all parts are in a building of great historical interest, the Colegio de San Gregorio, founded by Fray Alonso de Burgos in the late fifteenth century (the foundation was adopted in 1487 by Pope Innocent VIII) was conceived as a center of theological education of the Dominicans. It is not known with certainty who is the author of the project, although some point to Juan Guas and GIL of Siloam. Like so many of these buildings, with the seizure of the nineteenth century came to be owned by the state, and since then had several uses: it was headquarters, jail, offices, and finally moved here in 1933 the National Sculpture Museum, which since 1842 was at the College of Santa Cruz. In 1884 he had been declared National Monument.

The building has been recently refurbished by FUENSANTA Nieto and Enrique Sobejano, interesting team of architects in this work achieves a masterful effect: if you look at the rehabilitation there are only reasons for applause, and if you do not Still, things are so well made that the architecture does not distract at all from the sculpture. It is increasingly common in museums on the continent role remove the content: here the continent hosts and accompanies the content, gives the necessary framework, a framework of high quality clothing known discreetly and effectively to a high quality content also . Much of the rooms have a great woodwork, some are originals, and others have been brought from other buildings, but that is unimportant: on entering many rooms you barely know where to look if the ceiling or walls (walls earn at least in my case). The materials are acertadísimos: white concrete, limestone clear, a very neutral plaster and wood, lots of wood. For this work SOVEREIGN NIETO and did in 2007, year of completion of works, the National Award for Restoration and Conservation of Cultural Property. Perhaps the only downside I saw him is the difficulty in following the route of the tour: the structure-respected, the original building, and the subtlety of the signs-smart and so discreetly make visitors sometimes do not know to where to move, or may even come to forget some room, I, without going any further, I looked out the ground floor devoted to steps Processional: Only when reviewing the prospectus, and in Madrid, I realized my dismissal.

The other venue is the Palacio de Villena, an unobtrusive building. Napolitano Bethlehem hosts a fun and temporary exhibitions, we did not see, that's the truth. The third site (the CASA DEL SOL and the CHURCH OF THE OLD SAN BENITO) seemed to understand that is not yet available.

Anyway, reading this post you'd think the Tourist Office has paid for me Valladolid write: it is not. Just came back excited, and I wrote with the same enthusiasm to re-read the entry before publishing, I have chosen not to dampen enthusiasm. For those who want to know more and more, here you can link to the page MUSEUM NATIONAL COLLEGE OF SAN GREGORIO .

Now I will be forced to return to Valladolid: SAN GREGORIO to see again, with time left, and to see the rest of the city, which certainly has more treasures (the patio is in my opinion HERRERIANO Focus on ...).

Philip Charriol Philippines

of




book I found this book would tighter: 140 pages slightly larger than a pamphlet, in the library of a friend. The cover and caught my attention, ojeé, and I borrowed. SELF PORTRAIT WITH RADIATOR

(AU RADIATEUR Autoportrait, 1997) is a unique work, not easy to label. Although the protagonist tells us that " I'm not writing a diary but a novel. Her main characters are light, pain, a grass Biznes, happiness and a few packets of black snuff "the text itself is strictly a journal, with entries over almost a year. The author has recently lost his wife, addressing her, writes down ideas, suggestions, maxims, recommendations ... even sentences: a whole philosophy of life. SELF PORTRAIT WITH RADIATOR

is ordinary, to discover the joy in the thousand little things that life keeps getting in passing, to see what is good in often. Is happiness, fullness, happiness, luck of living, sense of wonder, to avoid habituation. Comes to light, pain, flowers. A few base to discover the potential of the ordinary, CHRISTIAN COIL up a real monument. SELF PORTRAIT WITH RADIATOR

is superbly written, with a masterful poetic tone, simple, or pompous or contrived, as befits the way in which the author sees life people and things (he himself is the blade of grass that names of the characters of his novel ).

I must admit that the start of SELF WITH RADIATOR dazzled me. Then, as I've been reading, I lowered my rating a bit, but it undoubtedly achieved is a work full of suggestive insights and some outstanding. I did not know or COIL CHRISTIAN PUBLISHING ARDORA , but I'm investigating something more than one and the other: I have found that have background and interest.

Much Does Jon Cryer Make

ROLL AGAIN CHRISTIAN CARABANCHEL: an apotheosis of


When
months ago I wrote a comment on the building in the Eixample DOSMASUNOARQUITECTOS Carabanchel, I noted that with him was another, still under construction, which might be of interest, and see him again. I spent a couple of weeks ago, camera in hand, and walked around the area. Several buildings caught my attention: not all seem the same quality, but all are unique and, each in his way-cool. I dedicate this post to talk (or rather, to teach, because I'll just say two words of each other and show some photographs of the exterior) of the sheet buildings: all have in common the use of metal sheet significantly. Maybe later talk about the brick buildings .

Before the images, two considerations:

On the one hand, draws attention to the use of color (we have also talked ever select you color in architecture ), and should make an assessment of its use: not anything goes. Folded sheets of colors, colored aluminum panels, glass, printed in colors ... all there. Sometimes the color is a warning that emphasizes a singular point of the construction or composition, sometimes reinforcing the general idea of \u200b\u200bthe project, others appear without finding a single image, sometimes mixed motives, and other such reasons are not. What color complex is used in bulk, and how difficult it right if the use is indiscriminate, color by color.

other hand, I saw something that I noted speaking of building BAMBOO ARCHITECTURE FOREIGN OFFICE: difficulties in maintenance. How difficult is to maintain a building with bamboo, which is very difficult to maintain a building sheet metal. Especially in the latter case, the churretones of rust and paint failures give a bad image, which over time, if not remedied, will eventually be sorry.




Moving on in the buildings I saw, which at the time struck me in the Avenida de la Peseta is the work of ACM ARCHITECTS (ATXU AMANN + ANDREW CÁNOVAS + NICHOLAS Maruri): a collection of colored containers overlapping, as if we were in the port of Rotterdam, including gaps left terrace and together form a closed block which leaves a large garden (and a little city, I must say) in the center. The general concept reminded me the LATTICE BUILDING Sanchinarro MVRDV. When I first saw it was still mono-plastered the boxes were just still not covered with colored plates, and I found it interesting, now the image is powerful, but maybe I prefer the unfinished building. [+ pictures]



The numbers 95 to 99 of the Avenida de la Peseta COCO ARCHITECTS (JORGE MARTINEZ & LAURA SÁNCHEZ) has built 168 homes. In this case the project does not just use color-folded sheet to the outside, white plaster in the large courtyard, and black metal in the points of the building (the content) - and the effect is serene, lucky. The uniqueness and strength of the building was entrusted to the perforated metal boxes (they look like enclosed balconies or open balconies, o trasteros, o zonas de almacén), que dan al conjunto una imagen conseguida. Vale la pena señalar cómo el edificio se ajusta al desnivel de las calles: los grandes paños principales de las fachada, esos de chapa plegada, se ajustan a la geografía, y van subiendo y bajando en paralelo a las acera: inteligente.
[+fotografías]




En el número 27 de la Avenida del Euro encontré un edificio de CV ARQUITECTOS (CONRADO CAPILLA+JOSÉ V. VALLEJO): dos cuerpos separados por un patio central, cubierto y lleno de circulaciones: la fachada exterior de uno de los bodies (facing north) is completely finished with color-printed glass, discreet but change colors, and the other (south) is all metal lattice deployé .
[+ pictures]




The number 4 cincuentines Street LARREA CESAR RUIZ has built a small block of 25 flats for young people: sheet, and a touch of color. .. [+ pictures]



Finally, a building I do not know who he is and have called of 16 colors, trying to locate the author because I read that you have used 16 different colors to make up the facade. The image undoubtedly striking, but do not know if it is justified to disguise a building just to get attention. [+ pictures]

Master Lock Calculation

HEAD SHEET METAL APRIL 2011: THE INSTITUTE OF THE ARAB WORLD, by Jean Nouvel in Paris

During the month of April 2011 the head of select you have been a photograph of the south facade of the Institut du Monde Arabe, Jean Nouvel located in Paris. We had already discussed this in the entry building devoted to contemporary architecture Paris : The IMA is without doubt one of the contemporary buildings worth visiting in the French capital, which stood at NOUVEL in the list of the greats.




The Arab World Institute was inaugurated in 1987 (in '81 was called the contest, and construction began in '84). It consists of two sections separated by a deep rift and a square courtyard (the plant interesting, very interesting): the body looks north toward the Seine and is shaped like a knife, with the curved facade. The south, however, is an almost regular parallelepiped with the famous facade mobile lattice work according to the external light by photoelectric cells (broken for some time, or at least without movement, according to my data.) In front of this facade is the entrance plaza also known, in one end, next to Boulevard Saint-Germain, his unique point of access in white marble with these recesses that can bring to mind a maze or an Arab medina . Inside the building are impressive lighting effects and transparencies, which relate the spaces and boundaries blur.

impressive And the situation of the Arab World Institute and Riverfront St Louis, and views from the upper terrace.

NATIONAL MUSEUM Decorative Arts in Madrid

After my visits to Cerralbo Museum and the Museum of Romanticism , I thought it might be reasonable to return to the Museum of Decorative Arts, because I find some relationship between the three. It is a museum that already knew: some time ago visited the permanent collection more recently was in a temporary exhibition , but in truth, was not very fresh, only to go back the rooms have been remembering.

The ground and first floors are dedicated temporary exhibitions, which this time had relatively little to say the "substance: not deserve further comment.

On the second floor you can see the reproduction of some rooms in a seventeenth century house, I found interesting, well recreated and well explained. On the same floor, rooms with gold and jewelry, and pottery pieces, fabrics (I always catch the eye: I saw them in this line of mine ... smaller museums -bother anyone, please, I have to COSTUME MUSEUM return to) and work leather covers DOLPHIN TREASURE can be seen in the Prado, and pieces of leather.


In the third and fourth floors, furniture mainly eighteenth and something of the early nineteenth century. Longer stays are recreated, but which pieces, sometimes loose and sometimes composing small sets, which makes it all less contextualized, though not without appeal. He remembered quite clearly the Neapolitan Nativity Scene, with its exaggerated bottom of columns, and instead had no fun in Valencian cuisine head completely finished with decorated ceramics. There is also a room dedicated to the well achieved REAL GLASS FACTORY FARM.

Like
the Cerralba and the Museum of Romanticism, the NATIONAL MUSEUM OF DECORATIVE ARTS I found suggestive: it is much less a museazo (formerly the Museum described as minor, and I think the rating is very just), but allows you to view and place pieces everyday manifesting the desire of anyone, at any time, to live surrounded by tasteful, well designed and crafted objects to the smallest detail. The art house is not (always) whim, nor is (always) vain, nor is (always) way to demonstrate wealth and social status. It is not (only) channel for the catechesis of the Church and for state propaganda. Many times (not always) sensitivity, for many (dare I to say all) is extremely rewarding, and (for some) a real need.

I missed, yes, a good section of parts of the twentieth century, a period in which you can find stunning designs, true masterpieces: I think it is a very serious gap in the Museum. Without going further in the brochure cover what appears is not a photograph of a neoclassical furniture, but the Red and Blue Chair by Gerrit Rietveld, neoplastic, designed in 1918, and went up the stairs as you see, it is true that among other things, is the Barcelona chair by Mies van der Rohe, 1929. I asked in information and was told that actually had these pieces, but who were not exposed because the temporary exhibition halls were busy, a situation that gives real shame and I hope is temporary. The same person told me, with little precision, it must be said that in May, beginning an exposure that will include such pieces (or parts of those: I suppose he meant modern / contemporary). I am here.

interesting topics for BLOG: 5 Arts & Crafts (Octavio Ocampo / wheat chaff)

Art- the Latin ars - is a human cultural activity of a creative nature, expressing ideas and feelings through various resources. It is synonymous with ability, skill and talent.

Artist is he who produces a work of art. Among the visual arts-painting is create images through pigment- classifying an artistic genre painters, which is the subject specialization that characterizes it.

A notable example artist is the Mexican-born Celaya, Guanajuato in 1943 - Octavio Ocampo, a painter and sculptor known for his painting metamorphic, which plays with images, figures and independent life of its own, which eventually form a whole a new figure.

In its work, optical illusion based on the metamorphosis and ambiguity of images, masterfully juxtaposes the art of visual metamorphosis of different images into one, making a striking effect.

Fortunately for us, almost in the family had the opportunity to admire the exhibition "Metamorphic Centennial" at the Casino English in Mexico as stated in the photograph of the Artist Jaime mentioned.

Crafts artist-in- manus is a craft that gets similar products, but not identical, derived from a manual technique that produces goods individually creative. The craft is a compromise between design and art.

I encountered in Pasto, Nariño Department, Republic of Colombia an attractive craft: the plated chaff to the decor of all kinds of wooden objects.

The chaff or straw is the product of threshing grain or lint follows from linen, cotton or wool. In San Juan de Pasto in southern Colombia using wheat straw subjected to heat-coloring process, getting different ranges, between the natural color of straw and dark brown.

Using a scalpel, the straw is partly along for thin plates with fragments of which the artisan creates intricate patterns and textures.

The bases on which are painted with aniline decorating and finishing catalyzed lacquers are used.

This traditional technique of ornamentation requires great patience, precision and delicacy of the fragile material

the Danube, by Claudio Magris


a long-years-had the Danube in the head. When Anagrama published it in 1988, and I heard of this title, though not always in the same direction: for some it was a gem, others a brick. At the time it ojeé and not tempted me too. But a few weeks ago I recommend him again, and I decided to go. Now that I'm done I fully understand that very disparate range of views, from the undisputed jewel more infumable block. A unique book, THE DANUBE. A long text, like a river, sometimes fast flowing and colorful, bright, energetic ... and other slow, slow, dull or dense.

on the Danube, Claudio Magris the Italian Germanic tells a trip along the whole river, more than 2800 kilometers from its sources in the German town of Donaueschingen (or is Furtwangen?) In Forest Black, to its mouth in the Romanian town of Sulina, on the Black Sea. Wherever he goes the river goes shelled Magris more or less detail, not always well-depth history, events and people associated with the place. And, in turn, will reflect the character and genius Central, sometimes Prussian other result of the Austrian Empire, others of Slavic, Magyar and Balkan.

The great strength of the Danube is, in my view, the richness and variety of what she told us: There are some very wise about travel considerations and the fact of traveling, and brings to mind spectacular sites, destinations those who go or destinations that you know (I have enjoyed, for example, recalling my visit to the monastery of Melk, or the Cafe Hawelka and Karl-Marx-Hof: Part of Vienna can be a great alternative guide to tour the city). Makes many reflections on life itself that are very suggestive, very attractive descriptions of places, story telling, legends and very enjoyable event, presentation of characters (the world of literature, politics, science) really varied and interesting . It is, without doubt, very illustrative of the culture and life of central and eastern Europe, a Europe with a rich history alive, by the way, has changed since he published his Magris Danube in 1986.

The problem is not always maintain that level of success, suggestion, attractive, amenity and interest. Surely this is a personal problem, but the text is so cultivated -although nothing pedantic, I must say, that sometimes quote, comment and itemizes over issues and personalities very central and East-European, unknown to the reader (I insist, at least for me): I must admit that I have traveled very comfortable in Germany, Austria and Slovakia, but it cost me to travel Magris the hand of the political culture and the Yugoslav, Romanian and Bulgarian, or the otherwise, I lost a chance to go into this land, unknown to me. As the book is long, it fails to get you the everything is true that it reads well, it is true that it is entertaining, even when the reader knows who or what he is talking because he is not familiar with the names or events, it is true that, as the text is divided into chapters short, it is easy to stop if you saturate ... but it is, let alone a book of those who are willing to have a free moment to read more, or you can spend a ratazo followed.

Returning to what I said earlier, I believe the Danube is a jewel more than a brick, because it's really interesting and enriching. I really liked and I'm glad I read it, but I understand that some to be a suckling pig. Can not think of reading as one reads DANUBE a soap opera: a travel book to be placed on the shelf most of the tests in the stories, and I say this now that I've finished but I have not done so, perhaps it should be read slowly, without haste, even without strict continuity: I think that is one of those books, I have found few, reasonably compatible with others.

I Magris a comment that caught my attention: Budapest. I note in my list of places remaining. "Budapest is the most beautiful city on the Danube, a wise self-staging, as in Vienna, but with a strong substance and vitality unknown in the Austrian rival. Budapest gives the physical sensation of capital, with a manor and a city authority protagonist of the story ... "

CHARDIN 1699-1779, in the Prado Museum in Madrid

Magnificent exposure. And great against all odds, I must admit I was not expecting much. On the one hand because I did not know Jean Siméon Chardin, which only speaks of my greatest artistic shortcomings, and partly because a couple of weeks ago I was invited to visit the typical "private" to the Museum, courtesy of a company unknown to me : I was a companion, and finally Travel-related but before the English came, we CHARDIN shown two rooms, and I do not say much. In any case, I intended to return, what not to miss opportunities. I was again last weekend and was fascinated. A discovery.




CHARDIN 1699-1779 is an exhibition that is gathering strength as you walk through the halls, as you will see the technical and thematic painter. Will captivate the visitor in a quiet but inevitable. When you see the first hare, or La Raya, think that ... well, well without more, a little awkward even. But then come other hares, and more hunting, and still lifes of ordinary objects resolved with great delicacy, and then the human figure, self-absorbed and kind, the room of the three children and Lady taking tea is to be hours and later again, still lifes, hares, and flowers are jewels, baskets of fruit. And you just see the fifty-odd paintings that are believed to have made a giant discovery, leaving excited and moved there after having traveled the work of a master serene, poetic, intimate, subtle, restrained and with great sensitivity.

is at least as I went.

links here provides information page on CHARDIN PRADO MUSEUM 1699-1779 He is, as always, very complete, and it's worth spending some time.
