Founded in 1915 in Geneva as Maison Caran d'Ache, Caran d'Ache was renamed in 1924 as a tribute to the famous French illustrator, Emmanuel Poiré.
Caran d'Ache first specialized in graphite and colored pencils and eventually diversified to include wax oil pastels, mechanical pencils, and the first ballpoint pens.
With its invention of Prismalo, the world's first watersoluble colored pencil, Caran d'Ache revolutionized the world of design and color. A goal of helping scholars discover their artistic senses and talents also led the company to develop a new formula for wax oil professional crayons, Neocolor I, followed by the watersoluble version, Neocolor II.
Today, technical excellence as well as impeccable quality stemming from the Swiss tradition of fine craftsmanship continue to give rise to some of the world's most sophisticated writing instruments and the most luminous colors.
Luminance colored pencils were developed by Caran d'Ache at the request of the Colored Pencil Society of America. Every shade has been formulated using finely ground pigments chosen for their purity, intensity and resistance to UV rays, so they are extremely lightfast. See some of the techniques that can be used only with this unique, artist quality pencil.
Neocolor II is a water soluble artist crayon made from high quality, lightfast pigments. They are softer than colored pencils and denser than wax crayons. When used on their own, Neocolor II Crayons are smooth drawing instruments great for sketching and filling in large areas. When used with water, they become an intensely vibrant and luminous watercolor paint. They can even be used to draw on glass, metal and other non-porous surfaces. Watch this video to see this unique artist crayon in action.
Neopastels are a professional quality oil pastel with excellent smoothness and blendability. They're made from permanent, lightfast pigments that are bright and vibrant, even on dark backgrounds. These dustless, opaque pastels glide easily on paper, but also work great on a wide variety of substrates - they'll even stick to non porous surfaces like glass and plastic! See why Caran d'Ache Neopastels are a great oil pastel.
Soft and water-resistant, Pablo pencils offer superb lightfastness and bright, clean colors. These professional quality colored pencils have soft and highly pigmented cores, so they will cover surfaces completely. In addition to paper, they are also great on wood and for colorizing photographs. See Pablo pencils in action.
Supracolor Soft Aquarelle Pencils are like having two art mediums in one! The soft core provides the option for smooth rich laydown of color and precise line drawings; or, add a wet brush and the color becomes liquid and flows like watercolor. Watch this video to see how bright and luminous these professional quality water-soluble colored pencils are. Supracolor have exceptional covering power and excellent lightfastness to meet the most exacting demands of artists and illustrators.

Pets, Pets, Pets
I'll skip writing the book, and go straight to the movie. I want Robert Downey Jr. cast as Professor MacLevy. Here's why: Picking up where we left off last week in the Babylon Westminster Kennel Club (WKC) quest, we learned that the former clubhouse burned down on Oct. 14, 1918, while Max MacLevy was leasing it as a faddish health retreat and pig farm.
Hmmm, among other controversial antics, flamboyant body builder "Professor MacLevy" was a health mentor to Teddy Roosevelt, also the vanishing witness in the 1902 Pulitzer murder case and consultant to Delmonico, famous restaurateur who died suddenly in 1901 of TB although the prof "cured" him. MacLevy met and married his bride right after saving her from drowning in Bensonhurst. Details of his Enquirer-style past are chronicled online in Laura Crawley's vivid Brooklyn blog "Virtual Dime Museum", which is also the source of this vintage MacLevy poster promoting his "quick trolley" swimming system. Starting to get the shady picture? Read on: When MacLevy rented from James L. Ewell and moved to the old Babylon WKC estate around 1915, he was already well-known for his vaudeville boxing exhibitions and gymnasium in Brooklyn. As a "physical culturist", a bygone New Age health trend made popular by Seventh-day Adventists and quirky Dr. John H. Kellogg of Battle Creek (yes, Dr. Cornflakes), MacLevy turned Westminster's once-glorious clubhouse into a "physical cultural sanitarium". An ad in the Aug. 19, 1917 New York Times says: MacLevy Health Farm Babylon, LI Physical training, gymnasium,
masseur, handball, tennis court, saddle horses, showers, bathing, fishing, sailing, billiards, wholesome foods, excellent grounds, 65 acres…. Interesting- he put pigs in our hallowed kennels, then commandeered Westminster's fancy billiard room. At the time MacLevy's city gym had moved to the old Madison Square Garden. Strange coincidence- Westminster has held dog shows in all 4 Gardens.
It seems MacLevy (1873-1934) had at least 3 sanitariums in Babylon, all left in ashes, not necessarily when he was in them. At the turn of the century, he used Havemeyer Pt. on Oak Island which burned down around 1920. He put an ad in the 1/25/1901 Brooklyn Eagle to hire a handyman at $12 a month and ocean side free rent. From 1915-18 he set up shop at the WKC clubhouse near Southards Pond. Max and the Mrs. were living in the WKC shooting house when the buildings were destroyed in that 1918 blaze, supposedly due to a defective flue. MacLevy's name in connection to my coveted WKC Babylon clubhouse first popped up in the elusive
scrapbook photo that took me a year to identify from the 1935 Babylon Leader. One 1920s Babylon fire from the Brooklyn Eagle baffled me until now. On 8/30/1923 the Underhill Nursery Farm, on Great East Neck and Montauk Hwy., later Bulks Nursery and the windmill, mysteriously perished in flames. Last sentence is the clincher: farm was "formerly the MacLevy Physical Cultural Sanitarium"... yet another one bites the dust. His health and diet beliefs did have some merit. MacLevy wrote an anti-tobacco booklet cited in 1916 "American Journal of Public Health", plus a April 23, 1933 beer and exercise letter excerpted in the New York Times that warns: "flabby, unproportioned bodies are not conducive to healthy minds". However, the Professor also had some disgruntled clients at his Babylon Health Farm. On Aug. 5, 1915 the Times reported Henry Wood the 20 yr. old son of a late wealthy brewery owner, sent to MacLevy to recoup from a nervous breakdown, wandered away lost in the Westminster woods. For all we know, Wood might still be in there. Meanwhile, on Nov. 24, 1918, the Brooklyn Eagle says the father of 1st Lieut. Edward D. Fraser Jr. sued Mac-Levy to recover $500 he paid in 1917 to furnish his ill son an attendant, outdoor sports and games and rub downs. Fraser Sr. accused the Prof of providing none, but instead, treating his son like a farmhand, making him work in the fields and eat at the same table with the help. Heavens, no! For this breach of contract, Papa Fraser got his $500 back. MacLevy had a peculiar side business. The Oct. 18,1918 South Side Signal said that at the time of the clubhouse fire, he was also raising pigs here, but about to move them to Hempstead. (Please don't tell me that poor Fraser Jr. was forced to slop hogs in the once state of the art WKC kennels.) Pork belly futures don't seem kosher. MacLevy's real name was Levy. At the time of his death in 1934, he was president of the Lynbrook temple.
Bacon was verboten on the physical cultural menu too. Don Whalen, my mentor in Maryland, has an interesting theory. On his WWI draft card MacLevy lists his occupation as "farmer," a notation that would have earned him a military deferment; so by going hog wild, Max would be free to profit on his sanitarium.
Location, location, location. Meandering the MacLevy maze, I'm hunting for site clues. Where, oh, where were the Westminster clubhouse and Sensation the renowned Pointer's grave during this health mania?
The Professor's 1918 draft card says "Babylon" - no street clue; a 1917 NYC directory lists MacLevy's farm phone as "Babylon 185". "Max, can you hear me now?" Darn. No one answers when I call. Foot Note: Might there be a physical cultural gene? MacLevy's son Monty followed in his Dad's footsteps. He saved gals from drowning at the Lynbrook pool, opened a Milk Farm for women in Huntington, patented many pieces of fitness equipment such as treadmills, exercise bikes, and even that belt contraption that shakes off your fat.
Feel like you walked into the middle of a movie? To catch up on the WKC Sensational soap opera search in Babylon, go to www.babylonbeacon.com, type "Westminster Kennel Club" in Search and my 17 previous "Pets" starting at Feb. 8, 2007, should pop up. For Adoption: "Niko" #468 is a handsome young Rottweiler, victim of a divorce, at Oyster Bay Town Shelter (677-5784) Miller Pl. Syosset. He needs a breed experienced home. "Boogie" #398 the gray longhaired beauty cat sporting a boa came in with her pretty sister "Priscilla" #399 now in the lobby. More hopefuls: : "Sammy" #425-black Shepherd mix- wrong poster pet picture last week; "Don" #343- the handsome Pointer; "Tyson" #475-gray tabby; lots of tiny kittens.

Worcester, Mass. - MIT freshman Lia DiGiovanna
scored the game's only goal in the final minutes of the first
overtime to lift the visiting Engineers to a 1-0 win over host
Clark, denying the Cougars their first NEWMAC title since 2002.
The two teams end conference play at 5-3, with the Engineers holding the tiebreaker because of the head-to-head victory.
In a game that figured to be a high-scoring affair with three of the NEWMAC's top ten scorers in action, proved to be anything but as defense ruled the night.
MIT held a 12-8 edge in shots and a slight 5-4 advantage in penalty corners.
Clark looked as if it might take the lead late in regulation but senior Lauren Blake had her shot turned away by Engineer netminder Keri Dixon in the 68th minute.
Overtime was winding down when Kameron Klauber found DiGiovanna for a goal that she snuck into the left corner of the cage with 2:40 left.
Cougar netminder Kathryn Dawsey turned back seven shots, while Dixon made three stops.
MIT improves to 14-4 overall and locks up the No. 2 seed in the upcoming NEWMAC Tournament, while Clark slips to 8-6, but will host a quarterfinal match on Saturday. Before that, however, the Cougars will host Wheelock in a non-conference meeting on Thursday in what will be the final home game for the program's seven seniors.

Ghostly Travels In The Sweetwater RangePosted in Events on May 1, 2009
As talk of rich strikes at Virginia City, Bodie and Aurora spread, adventurous prospectors from California's Gold Country flocked to the Eastern Sierra and high desert. By the 1870s, the Sweetwater Mountains on the California/Nevada border crawled with fortune seekers. These mineralized mountains skirted California's Bridgeport Valley, the Antelope Valley, and Nevada's bustling "Esmeralda" mining district.
California's Gold Country crept from the San Joaquin and Sacramento Valley floors to approximately 5,500-foot elevation on the west side of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. By contrast, the Sweetwater's riches nestled beneath high peaks -- more like the legendary mines of Colorado. Mining camps like Star City and Belfort rested between 10,000 and 11,000 feet. Even Virginia City, notorious for its harsh winters, stood at a mere 6,200-foot elevation, and Bodie lay at 8,300 feet. Determined to find riches, eager miners spent July through October plying the canyons and timberline zones of the Sweetwater Range.
Over time, the larger mines ran deep into the mountainsides, clambering for silver and gold. While production in the Sweetwater Range was a mere fraction of the nearby Bodie, Aurora, and Masonic deposits, there was enough ore to keep smaller operations functioning through the Great Depression Era.
Among the mines that yielded silver, the Silverado Mine was most notable. At one time, the Silverado earned status as the largest silver producer in California. Today, a wooden head-rig and eroding cement structures stand as testament to an epoch when mule-powered ore wagons, then primitive chain-drive trucks, rumbled up and down the steep canyons and switchbacks of the Sweetwaters.
One could very easily drive past these canyons and never suspect their history. The mining is long gone, and Nevada Highway 338 is a solitary, sparsely traveled route. Cresting the Sweetwater Summit at 7,120 feet, the two-lane road connects Smith Valley, Nevada, with Bridgeport, California. At the California state line, Highway 338 turns into California Route 182, which winds along the East Walker River and ends at Bridgeport and U.S. Highway 395.
7PhotosView Slideshow
The "Sweetwater Road," as locals refer to Highway 338, runs parallel to Highway 395. Despite its high summit, the route lies east of the tall Sweetwater Mountains, which often shield Highway 338 from the brunt of Sierra blizzards. East of the Sweetwaters, snow can accumulate and stay hard-frozen from late fall through spring.
Highway 338 can be maintained, and the road dries readily -- if the plows are running. Although a reasonable alternative to U.S. Highway 395's Walker Canyon during heavy winter storms, Highway 338 will not see a plow past 4 o'clock in the afternoon. To avoid being stranded on this lonely road, limit foul weather travel to mid morning through early afternoon. The drive from Bridgeport to Smith Valley is approximately 45 minutes on a clear highway.
Exploring The Sweetwater Mountains
Historically, the Sweetwater Range was a mining and grazing region. Today, the major mines are gone although a number of smaller claims remain active. Locally, the range provides a wealth of recreational outlets, including four-wheeling, old mines, ghost town sites, hunting, fishing, and camping. At the north end of the Nevada access is Desert Creek, providing a U.S. Forest Service campground and miles of streamside play. The Desert Creek recreational area attracts families and those wanting to beat the summer heat of surrounding desert country (with water and rocky hillsides, rattlesnakes have made their presence known here, too). Desert Creek Peak stands at 9,020 feet, the first of several higher peaks lining the range.
Driving south along Highway 338, you can access Desert Creek from its upper end, near the Desert Creek Peak. A quarter-mile before Sweetwater Summit, just before the descent to the Sweetwater Ranch, a sign on the west side of the road reads, "Sweetwater Canyon--3 Miles." This dirt access qualifies as a four-wheel drive route yet does not require excess ground clearance. A stock Jeep, truck-based SUV, or other short wheelbase 4x4 can readily climb the canyon.
There are several treats ahead as you wind up the canyon. Near the top, the Nugent cabin and old mine sites come to view. Peaks tower to 10,500 feet, the East Sister most prominent. The flora ranges from Utah juniper and Jeffrey pines to pine nut trees and even white fir. Sweetwater Creek has a steady flow year round, providing precious water for the Sweetwater Ranch and a shady haven for fickle brook trout. Fauna include deer, occasional mountain lions, coyotes, smaller mammals, and rodents. In summer and early fall, cattle graze the creek area and tiny meadows.
7PhotosView Slideshow
Each of the canyons and draws on the east slope of the Sweetwaters begins in Nevada and winds up in California. The Silverado Mine lies halfway up Silverado Canyon. Unmarked at the highway and accessed due west of the Sweetwater Ranch, there are remnants of the mine and other activity in the area. As always, visitors should use care to avoid open or obscured mineshafts and tunnels. Lightly trafficked and primitive, these sites are not marked. A trickling creek runs throughout the year, and cattle graze here in summer and fall.
At the southernmost end of the range, southwest of the Sweetwater Ranch, is Mount Patterson. Towering to 11,384 feet above sea level, Mount Patterson is accessible to approximately 10,900 feet by four-wheel drive road on the east slope. Star City, now just a vacant plateau, rests near 9,500 feet. Belfort, at 10,200 feet, qualifies as a ghost town, the remnant of a once productive silver and gold mining district.
The views from any angle of Mt. Patterson are spectacular. A 100-mile eastward panorama scans the Bodie Hills, Corey Peak (10,520 feet) and Mt. Grant (11,245 feet). Corey Peak, Mt. Grant, and Lucky Boy Pass (8,001 feet) lie due east in Nevada's Wassuk Range. The west side of Mt. Patterson, accessible by California dirt roads, provides a sweeping view of the Sierra Range.
Additional travels and activities in the area include the ghost towns of Bodie, Aurora, and Masonic. For fly-fishers, the East Walker River's acclaimed catch-and-release section is just below the Sweetwater Ranch. Dirt road access to Lucky Boy Pass leads to Mono Lake, California, or Hawthorne, Nevada. Nearby Bridgeport, California, provides meals, lodging and resources like camping, boating, and fishing at Bridgeport Reservoir or picturesque Twin Lakes.

When traveling this region, please respect property and public lands. In particular, the Nevada access to the Sweetwater Mountains passes through the Sweetwater Ranch on Highway 338. There are many grazing areas en route to the canyons, with traditional barbed wire fencing and gates that require proper opening and closing. The Nugent cabin is a phenomenon in this age, a facility open to those who wish to stay overnight and respect the intent of the property. Once a mine and herder's line cabin, the structure is habitable and supported by generous guests. As long as users leave the cabin as found or better, we can continue to enjoy this unique setting.
If your travels include the eastern Sierra or northwestern Nevada, consider visiting the Sweetwater Mountains. From June to late October (or the first significant snowfall), the area provides seclusion and a glimpse of the past. Nearby, there are archaeological sites dating back many thousands of years, as this region has been home and a sacred place for many peoples. In our next travels through the area, we'll explore those pre-Columbian sites and lifestyles!

Rand Paul diagnoses liberal disorder
Calls it 'big heart, small brain syndrome'
NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. – What is wrong with the people who don't understand why conservatism works, and why liberty is so important?
Even with a doctorate in human development, WND's Gina Loudon was puzzled.
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., had the answer to her question.
"I tell people it's the 'big heart, small brain syndrome.' Liberals have big hearts, but they're not using all their brain capacity," explained the senator in his exclusive interview with WND at CPAC, the annual convention for conservatives, just outside of Washington.
Paul indirectly referred to the famous definition of insanity as trying something again and again while expecting a different result.
"I don't know," he said. "Liberals don't seem to get the point that if you're trying something and the objective evidence shows that it's not working, why not try something different?"
The Kentuckian used the example of "what we've done for the people of Appalachia in my state. For 40 years, we've been sending money there but it's still very poor.
"So, what I've been saying is, 'Why don't we do something different? Why don't we dramatically cut the taxes in Eastern Kentucky, in Detroit and other places that are suffering?"
Paul explained how tax deductions are particularly effective in helping people "because they go directly to people who have businesses and create jobs."
Loudon then touched upon a hot-button issue at this year's CPAC. Many conservatives are upset that social issues seem to have been neglected by the organizers and most of the speakers.
"I personally think that faith and tradition and virtue are important parts of all of our issues," said Paul, a devout Christian.
"But I also know that our country is somewhat divided on some of these issues, and even our party is (divided)," he said. "So, I think sometimes, we will have to agree to disagree.
"Ultimately, a democracy needs that stability," he added.
Paul explained how the difference between the American Revolution and the French Revolution was instructive.
"We had the underpinnings of our religion and our families (while) the French sort of descended into chaos.
"Don't tell the French I said this stuff, will you?" he kidded.
Loudon also delved into what makes the senator tick by asking what makes him a conservative.
Paul, who is now the frontrunner among possible GOP candidates for president in 2016, according to the most recent polls, told WND, while he was born into a conservative family and an independent spirit is probably part of his DNA, he was not necessarily born a conservative.
When he was younger, Paul did a lot of research into political theory, reading such heavyweight thinkers as John Stuart Mill, Friedrich Hayek and Milton Friedman.
Paul told Loudon that one of the key principles he came to embrace was that "freedom creates more prosperity than coercion."
More than that, Paul found that freedom is the real key to spreading the wealth among the so-called "haves" and the "have-nots."
Turning to foreign policy, Loudon asked Paul how his approach would differ from President Obama's in dealing with the crisis with Russia over the Ukraine.
Paul said the first problem is, "[Obama] has damaged our credibility by saying, 'Here's a red line' in Syria, then sort of moving the line.
"Once you draw a line – I think you have to be very careful when you draw lines, period. But then if you draw a line, you should stick to it. Otherwise, you lose your credibility."
And that, he said, has led to a situation in which Russia believes the U.S. won't respond in any meaningful way.
As for Russian President Vladimir Putin's "violation of the integrity of Ukraine" by placing troops there, Paul recommended stronger measures than Obama has taken.
"I think [Putin] should be isolated," Paul said. "If he's going to act like a rogue nation, he should be isolated from civilized nations."
Loudon asked the senator something she said people have asked her, "Is Rand Paul a Ron Paul-lite?"
The presidential frontrunner took the question in the spirit of good humor in which it was offered and expressed his love for his father, which is always readily apparent whenever the two share a stage.
But, he added, "I always have to be careful what I say about my dad because I want to sit at the adult table at Thanksgiving."
On a serious note, Paul pointed out he has been in the Senate for three years, given thousands of speeches, "and I just need to be judged for who I am."

Home-Price Growth Slows Sharply, Case-Shiller Says
Index Says Year-Over-Year Growth Rate Is Lowest Since February 2013
Home prices across the U.S. slowed sharply to a single-digit pace in May on a year-over-year basis, the slowest rate since February 2013, according to a home-price report.
A survey covering 10 major U.S. cities increased 9.4% in the year ended in May, said the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index survey released Tuesday. The 20-city price index increased 9.3%. That is down from a 10.8% yearly pace in April and much lower than the 9.9% expected by economists....

After Easter came Mother's Day,
More Snow…and a visit from
He strutted and gobbled as he watched over his Turkey Girls
Looking just as handsome in the rear view.
As the temperature plummeted to 15 degrees,
Hummingbirds suck in the freezing sugar water
Black-headed Grossbeak wait their turn at the feeder
And a deflated Tom runs through 8″ of snow to find a warm roost for the night.
A bright May sunrise highlights 13,161 foot high Wheeler Peak's May snowfall.
After the snow melts here at 9,000 feet, Big Tom returns to Eaglefire
to strut in the sunshine. He doubles in size as he displays every single feather, showing off his blue and red face and neck, and gobbling out the message that these are his hens and this, Eaglefire, is his territory.
He is unbelievably tame, becoming quite tolerant of our sharing HIS home ground.
He and his hens spend most of every day within our sight.
In these photos he is only 10 feet or so off the deck.
When I "gobble" him, he "gobbles" me back.
Now that the Buttercups are up
Can Spring be far behind?

Only problem with that argument is that the effect you describe is only evident in a handful of applications, InDesign being the worst that I have seen.
41. Re: Apple Magic Mouse and IDmoongod80 Aug 29, 2011 1:39 PM (in response to wjwm)
I have the same problem. usually have to use the magic mouse to open an indesign, illustrator, excel, and some other types document and the mighty mouse for actual work.
hate using two mice though. wondering if the magic track pad had the same failure as the mighty mouse.

Errr... TUIJohnC, what solution exactly fixed your problem? I tried two different mouse drivers, but non of them could provide a smooth scrolling in ID. Even in other forums I just found solutions for turning off the mouse scrolling ability in specific applications.
So, can anyone scroll smoothly in ID or AI?
44. Re: Apple Magic Mouse and IDDougefresh091 Mar 31, 2012 12:40 PM (in response to a.molnar)
Try Better Touch Tool: http://blog.boastr.net/
I had to disable a lot of the fancy options, like horizontal scroll, and three finger gestures, but I finally got it to where it was useable. I would give you more details on the settings I used, but this was a work computer for a company I'm no longer with.
45. Re: Apple Magic Mouse and IDre_volver Apr 2, 2012 7:51 AM (in response to a.molnar)
I still haven't found a solution that still allows me to scroll 360 degrees (and this problem exists for both the magic mouse AND the mighty mouse. For print documents, I've actually given up on using CS5, and wherever I can I'm building documents in CS3. I'm a bit taken aback that Adobe hasn't addressed this since the release of CS4.
46. Re: Apple Magic Mouse and IDiidi May 3, 2012 10:12 AM (in response to wjwm)
Maybe what you need is the next:
System Preferences>Universal access>Mouse>Mouse Options>Scrolling WITHOUT INERTIA
it worked well to me in Illustrator CS5.
47. Re: Apple Magic Mouse and IDTwitchOSX May 3, 2012 11:05 AM (in response to wjwm)
We got the mouse with our new Mac Pro and I do like it.... but the shape is crap. No hump like a regular mouse to rest your palm on. And yea... it's crazy as hell in InDesign. Seriously considering getting a new mouse. I'll miss some of the stuff that the magic mouse can do but at least a different mouse will stave off carpel tunnel for a little longer.
48. Re: Apple Magic Mouse and IDre_volver May 7, 2012 7:42 AM (in response to iidi)
Inertia scrolling isn't the issue, as it's not only the magic mouse that's affected. I use a mighty mouse (scroll ball) at work, and I can have InDesign CS3 and CS4 open at the same time... CS3 scrolls perfectly, while CS4 is a train wreck. The scrolling problem is with the app, not the mouse. All versions of InDesign after CS3 have this problem... I have to revert back to using my old click-wheel mouse to be able to control scrolling in CS4/CS5, and I lose the 360º scrolling option...
This sucks, and I won't use CS5 for layout... I'm still laying out documents in CS3 (YEARS after CS4 was released), and I only use CS5 for export of interactive swfs.
Get it together, Adobe... you've got a massive Mac-based design and production clientele out here. This should have been fixed a long time ago.
49. Re: Apple Magic Mouse and IDrexprints Jun 8, 2012 2:05 PM (in response to re_volver)
I said it before, almost three years ago, and I'm back to say it again. The problem persists! This is a shame. Mouses have evolved to not having buttons, Adobe Creative Suite has evolved into a highly systemitized graphics juggernaut, yet we still can't control the cursor! Curser!
50. Re: Apple Magic Mouse and IDre_volver Jun 8, 2012 2:13 PM (in response to rexprints)
How do we bring this to Adobe's attention as a serious matter?
Fifty percent of my daily work takes place in InDesign, and I feel like a carpenter that's been given the daunting task of building a house... but had his hammer and measuring tape taken away.
52. Re: Apple Magic Mouse and IDrexprints Jun 8, 2012 2:28 PM (in response to re_volver)
How do you get the attention of Apple and Adobe? If I only knew…
I'm surprised, still, at how big and old the problem is. So why doesn't this thread have thousands of posts.
1. How could we poll the MagicMouse/CS users? Doesn't Adobe have some satisfaction sampling tools? A measuring tape?
2. How could we quantify the problem among that cohort?
3. What do you with that information that could fix the problem? Where's the hammer?
53. Re: Apple Magic Mouse and IDrexprints Jun 8, 2012 2:34 PM (in response to BobLevine)
Thanks, Bob. I did submit a Bug Report.

Unfortunately, yes!
56. Re: Apple Magic Mouse and IDrexprints Jun 23, 2012 3:19 PM (in response to BobLevine)
I pretty much give up on having any power over this (since CS monopolizes my profession) serious issue of not being able to control my tools. It's been years and many versions later (I noticed this in CS3, still have it in CS6).
So I have a sort of meta-thread meta-question:
How is it there are only 50 some posts on this killer topic?
Should we assume we've got some rare and incompatible driver in our systems (which have been upgraded a few times too)?
Well, that's two questions. But how could such a big problem have escaped Adobe's regression testing, even for a few users. It's clearly Adobe's problem, since it nobody's complaining about it occuring in other applications.
57. Re: Apple Magic Mouse and IDDougefresh091 Jun 25, 2012 6:17 AM (in response to rexprints)
It's probably the usual case of one company blaming the other. That or they don't care since there isn't more people complaining about it.
I personally have purchased a Logitech mouse as I prefer ergonomics over Apples fancy shenanigans. But when I was using the magic mouse third party software fixed the issues.
58. Re: Apple Magic Mouse and IDre_volver Jun 25, 2012 8:38 AM (in response to Dougefresh091)
Hi Dougefresh091,
Specifically, which third party software did you use, and on which OS?
I've consistently had this problem with all versions of ID after CS3, regardless of the hardware or OS. At my day job, we're equipped with the mighty mouse on our workstations. At home, I have the Magic mouse (and I'm really happy with it). Faced with the uncontrollable scrolling in both scenarios, I desperately need to find a fix for both situations where I can keep the 360º scrolling option.
59. Re: Apple Magic Mouse and IDKurrykid Jun 25, 2012 8:46 AM (in response to re_volver)
I love the Magic Mouse as well. InDesign is the only program in which I have problems using it.
60. Re: Apple Magic Mouse and IDDougefresh091 Jun 25, 2012 8:53 AM (in response to re_volver)
I had been using Better Touch Tool on Snow Leopard with CS5. http://www.boastr.de/
It basically just expands on options that are lacking in System Preferences. It's been a while, but as I recall I disabled horizontal scrolling and multi-touch gestures (not all, but most). It took away some of the mouse's functionality, but in my opinion it was well worth it. I'd much rather have a mouse that works well, without skipping around and just generally being eratic.
Give that app a try, just keep in mind it will take some trial and error to get everything as you want it.
61. Re: Apple Magic Mouse and IDrexprints Jun 25, 2012 8:58 AM (in response to Kurrykid)
This is making me crazy. Why only InDesign? I have an uncreative suite of problems. In fact, I'm going to be specifying a refresh of my studio classroom at my college and I've got to consider choosing a couple dozen pointing devices. Teaching beginning graphics is hard enough with the bloated and obscure interface of CS6, now the students won't even be able to control the pointer. Well, at least it won't be the biggest problem any more. I will definitely keep CS1 installed (with no cryptic symbols and the palettes don't play hide-and-seek.)
62. Re: Apple Magic Mouse and IDrexprints Jun 25, 2012 9:12 AM (in response to rexprints)
I've tested BTT and MagicPref's over the years and found they only work by rendering the MagicMouse as lame as a button-less wired mouse, which has been a survivor in the college lab I teach in. A not-MagicMouse isn't a solution, it's a downgrade.
63. Re: Apple Magic Mouse and IDre_volver Jun 25, 2012 9:15 AM (in response to rexprints)
Thanks Dougefresh091,
This is really alarming that there's nothing out there to fix the issue and still maintain 360º scrolling.... and I'm still faced with solving the problem for the mighty mouse, equipped on our six production workstations.
I've really only glimpsed the CS6 interface so far, but "bloated and obscure" is probably the most eloquent description I've heard, and I don't think things are getting better. Improving an application and adding features is one thing, but changing tool icons and the names of commands? Why does Adobe do this? The worst example is Acrobat where version 8 had under Advanced, "enable user rights in Adobe Reader"... in Acrobat X this was moved to the File > Save menu and changed to "Reader Extended PDF".
It's kind of sad that when a new version of an application is released, one has to go online and hunt down tutorials to find tools and execute tasks that we were already familiar with.
Anyway, off-topic for this discussion, but thank you for listening.......
64. Re: Apple Magic Mouse and IDrexprints Jun 25, 2012 9:23 AM (in response to re_volver)
We are wandering into the weeds here, but I've got to add the Acrobat Pro/Reader Typewriter function, a huge if poorly implemented function which also got shuffled.

65. Re: Apple Magic Mouse and IDDougefresh091 Jun 25, 2012 10:46 AM (in response to re_volver)
Oh boy, don't get me started on Acrobat X. Ha! The one and only improvemnt I've personally found is that the OCR works faster. Which is great, only the rest of the program is slower on my computer. And the menu... ugh. But, I mostly just use it for forms, so I'm looking forward to getting ID CS6.
I don't mind the interface on the other programs, but I do wish certain functionality was more consistent. For example the gradient tool between PS, AI, and ID is all over the place. Things like this are annoying because I often find myself using a specific program just because I like the way the tool in question works.
These inconsistencies are as curious as the fact that certain hardware—like the Magic Mouse—aren't really supported. I just don't get it, Adobe. Or is it Apple that's at fault? We'll probably never know.
66. Re: Apple Magic Mouse and IDrexprints Jun 25, 2012 10:57 AM (in response to Dougefresh091)
Back on topic, I'm pretty sure it's Adobe, not Apple. MagicMouse doesn't play tricks in other app's.
FYI: I'll be testing the Apple Trackpad later this week, which we are especially interested in for special needs students (multiple sclerosis, spinal injury, left/right hand mixed dominance, etc.). News when it happens.

67. Re: Apple Magic Mouse and IDheavyboots Jun 25, 2012 11:49 AM (in response to rexprints)
With regards to the interface bloat and general downward spiral of Adobe products, I'd say it all started about the time they decided to abandon native platform GUI and forge their own. Much like the decision to create their own installers, it has been less than a resounding success.
Still can't get over the fact they think it's acceptable, for example, to force the cmd key+scrollwheel to be horizontal scrolling for the Mac—when shift key+scrollwheel was already natively supported for multiple versions prior to that. So essentially rather than just add it to the Windows side as a feature, they forced an unnatural unification for both sides, destroying some usability for Mac users in the process.
68. Re: Apple Magic Mouse and IDBobLevine Jun 25, 2012 1:07 PM (in response to heavyboots)
Downward spiral is a matter of opinion. I don't happen to share it…not even close.
69. Re: Apple Magic Mouse and IDheavyboots Jun 25, 2012 1:19 PM (in response to BobLevine)
Glad to hear the new esthetic works for you, Bob. Not the case for me so much, I'm afraid.
I guess I'm just saying that if I'd wanted a dark gray interface and an application "frame" for all my apps, I would have chosen a different OS to start with. The fact that the interface is now almost *black* and the options for tweaking it only show shades of gray is frustrating to me. Along with panels, which don't work as well as the dockable tabs they used to have up until CS3. I'm not saying there hasn't been some positive forward progress too—I quite like the ability to call any command from the Quick Apply palette, for example. Just that in general, they've ben dragging the interface in a direction that is frustrating to me as a Mac user.
70. Re: Apple Magic Mouse and IDrexprints Jun 25, 2012 1:29 PM (in response to heavyboots)
I'm taking full responsibility for this discussion drifting off into a general kvetch-fest.

71. Re: Apple Magic Mouse and IDBobLevine Jun 25, 2012 1:31 PM (in response to heavyboots)
I get that and you're entitled to your opinion, but you'll do a lot better letting Adobe know through official channels.
If you want your feature request to get more attention you should make it as detailed as possible and include reasons why it would be beneficial.
72. Re: Apple Magic Mouse and IDheavyboots Jun 25, 2012 1:32 PM (in response to rexprints)
Apologies, Rex.
73. Re: Apple Magic Mouse and IDrexprints Jul 9, 2012 4:31 PM (in response to heavyboots)
I am ever gracious in accepting apologies, but I'm pretty sure you meant to reply to Bob Levine. He could probably use a nice apology now and then.
As to CS6 and other trackpads, after exhaustive testing (about two minutes was all I could take) I've determined that InDesign is as jerky as it was on CS3 with the MagicMouse, half as jerky with Magic Trackpad, and only mildly annoyingly jerky on my Air trackpad. Now add in the inconsistent gesture issue, it's blunderful, not magical. Along with crossed up keyboard shortcuts, it's very hard to guess which gesture will do what.
I teach in a college lab where, in the preparing students for the wild, we train on every imaginable pointer and operating systems from OS10.3 up, so my demo's are a joke… on me, not Adobe or Apple. Mouse and trackballs are, as always, fine. CS1 with a no-button mouse has the immediacy of driving a 1959 Porsche Speedster, not that I've ever had the pleasure.
74. Re: Apple Magic Mouse and IDKurrykid Jul 9, 2012 6:17 PM (in response to rexprints)
Just as an FYI, I have found the new version of Adobe Captivate (v6) is just as bad with the Magic Mouse
75. Re: Apple Magic Mouse and IDsmashkirk Aug 11, 2012 9:10 AM (in response to rexprints)
Since the issue is not being addressed in CS6, and people have been complaining about this since 2009, I don't think it's going anywhere. I just bought the magic mouse the other day, I'm going to return it and get a good 'ol $14 logitec.
76. Re: Apple Magic Mouse and IDflaming1 Aug 12, 2012 6:53 PM (in response to smashkirk)
A lot of it is to do with how people hold/touch/use the mouse. As I said in another recent forum post around this issue...
While the Magic Mouse seems to have been the issue for some people here, for a lot of people it works just fine. I've been using the Magic Mouse with Indesign since it was first released - and still using it now with both Indesign CS5 and CS6.
It's definitely a personal preference - and there's nothing wrong with that - it is a big issue for some people and not at all for others. Of the seven Indesign users in my immediate vicinity, five are happily using the Magic Mouse with Indesign all day every day, the other two are not.
There's nothing wrong with some people not liking it, but it's not accurate to say the Mouse is the whole problem.
77. Re: Apple Magic Mouse and IDre_volver Aug 13, 2012 8:10 AM (in response to flaming1)
The mouse isn't the problem at all... I think the magic mouse is brilliant, and am exquisitely happy with it. It's InDesign that's the problem... it's the only app in the CS suite (every release after CS3) that I can't control the scrolling with the magic mouse OR the mighty mouse. Every other CS app scrolls smoothly, but InDesign has become a wreck.
The mouse is pure genius (in my opinion), but Adobe seriously dropped the ball on InDesign.
78. Re: Apple Magic Mouse and IDrexprints Aug 13, 2012 8:35 AM (in response to re_volver)
flaming1 says some people don't mind the way it behaves. As a preference, if a significant portion of users don't like it, then it is a signifcant problem, and since there don't appear to be significant complaints about MagicMouse used with other applications, it must be Adobe's problem. And it is a problem. It's certainly no way to run an airline.
As a graphics professor, I routinely see people doing things a miserably hard way because they don't know any better, so it's hard to take flaming1's impression as helpful.
79. Re: Apple Magic Mouse and IDDougefresh091 Aug 13, 2012 9:00 AM (in response to rexprints)
It seemed to me when I was dealing with this that Apples lack of mouse options were as much to blame as anything else. If I could have only turned down the sensitivity (without use of third party apps) it would have worked fine.
Keep in mind I was on Snow Leopard when I was dealing with this, so things may have changed with the new OS's?

Dealers, collectors, and law enforcement, however, may take any number of virtually identical 461s we have on hand at the same per-gun price and with no additional shipping charges. Any ammunition showing in our photos is Not Included. Most of the Rossis we sold in the 1960s were model 31 series; there were only a few of the medium frame model 51s that came through. While the Brazilians used Smith & Wesson Hand Ejector milling equipment during that period, and their mechanical designs were close to Smith & Wessons, the model 51 had a Colt Influence as well. This descendant of the model 51 is close to the Colt D frame Detective Specials of the late 1960s and early 1970s, with 6 shot cylinder and shrouded ejector rod. Here is the standard double action model R461 that is .357 Magnum capable. Manufacturer is Amadeo Rossi of Sao Leopoldo, Brazil, a Taurus affiliate; this .38 is marked Made In Brazil By Taurus on the right side of its frame. Type is traditional double and single action revolver. Construction is entirely blue steel with the exception of the hardened stainless steel hammer nose firing pin and rivet. Frame is D Size small frame, with Round Butt Grip frame and 3 screw side plate. Barrel is 2 inch heavy full lug type, with matte finish verticals and barrel-integral serrated blade front sight. Rear sight is frame integral fixed notch. Cylinder capacity is 6 rounds of .357 Remington Magnum and .38 Smith & Wesson Special calibers. Note the cylinder yoke's detent latch, a Taurus inspired mechanical improvement that prevents cylinder wobble. Trigger is .380 smooth faced combat semi-target, with .265 serrated spur hammer. Weight empty is a well balanced 23 1/2 ounces with center of gravity at the trigger. Double action trigger pull is smooth and consistent, 10 pound vicinity, with a crisp 4 pound single action pull. Safety system consists of a transfer bar that prevents the firing pin from touching a cartridge primer unless the trigger is fully depressed, and also Taurus's innovative internal hammer lock. Note that we have installed a set of Sile Italian Walnut Banana Style Grips for Smith & Wesson J Frame Round Butt, modified and fitted to this Rossi. The Siles were production mates to the ones still found on many Smith & Wessson J and Colt D frame revolvers manufactured in the 1970s and 1980s. Note that an H.K.S. DSA Speedloader Will Not clear the left panel's recess. From its letter G serial number prefix, this 461 was manufactured in 2012 or 2013. This revolver is what we call a factory demo, probably a sales rep's sample or showgirl from Firearms Industry trade shows like the annual SHOT show held in Las Vegas. Serial number's X prefix designates it as such. It is in its original overlabeled factory box with instruction manual, two keys for its hammer lock and its never executed factory registration card. Note that the box top is labeled, Factory Reconditioned. This simply means that if this Rossi develops mechanical problems, Braztech will repair it at no charge, but they will not give a freebie refinish. It does not need any refinish anyway. Surface detractions are negligible, only faint occasional edge whitening and cylinder rotation marking. We rate this R461 as Excellent in Box, perhaps Near Mint, but photos ought to suffice for our distinguished shoppers to judge finish grade for themselves. Bore, chamber, and mechanism are all bright and clean. The only comparable Blue Steel 2 inch 6 shot revolver on the market is the Taurus 605 series, with their prices usually approaching $500 per unit; and two times that for a Colt Detective Special.

This handbound journal is covered in a yellow and white paper I purchased recently in London. It has all sorts of quirky British things for example: tea kettle, plate of potatoes, cottage, bus, owl, crane, caravan etc. It is based on a design from the 1940s by Harold Jones.
The journal measures 6 3/4 x 5 and is about an inch thick. The paper is bright white with sewn signatures and a total of about 150 pages. The pages are UNLINED - great for sketching or writing. It is small enough to be a great travel or on the go journal! Check out my other journal designs: http://www.etsy.com/shop/moonlightbindery?section_id=5159125

David Porter to Give Classics Lecture and Perform as a Visiting Artistby Karen Handley • October 14, 2008 Share:
Wabash College invites you to hear Classics scholar and pianist David Porter present a Classics lecture and a rare performance of one of the most challenging works in the piano repertoire. His talk, "On the Divide: Horatian Variations," will take place at 8 p.m., Thursday, October 23, in Lovell Lecture Room (101) in Baxter Hall. He will then perform as part of the Visiting Artist Series when he plays Charles Ives' Concord Sonata at 4 p.m. on Sunday, October 26 in Salter Hall in the Fine Arts Center.
Porter returns to the Wabash College campus after more than 40-years, having performed at the College during the 1960s. Porter is the nephew of the late English Department professor, News Bureau director, and Registrar Robert Harvey.
Porter's lecture will focus on a trajectory that appears, with significant variations, in several collections of Horace's poetry. Horace often begins with poems that suggest the inclination to escape, to withdraw, but by the ends of his collections, he is instead moving towards engagement and even confrontation. Though Porter will focus on Horace's Odes I-III and on Epistles, he will also discuss the tension between escape and engagement in other authors, including Willa Cather.
His Sunday performance, Concord Sonata, is one of the most challenging works in the entire piano repertoire. Equally at home lecturing on Greek tragedy and performing piano masterworks, Porter will begin the lecture-demonstration based on Ives's own Essays Before a Sonata. For nearly 40 years Porter has championed this Ives masterpiece, which at its premiere was hailed by the New York Herald Tribune as "the greatest music composed by an American."
Porter is the Harry C. Payne Visiting Professor of Liberal Arts at Williams College. He received his B.A. from Swarthmore in 1958 and his Ph.D. from Princeton in 1962. During that same period he studied piano with Edward Steuermann in Philadelphia and New York and in 1970 and 1977 he traveled to Amsterdam to study harpsichord with Gustav Leonhardt. Before coming to Williams in 1999, he held a dual appointment in Classics and music at Carelton College and served as president of Carleton from 1986-87 and Skidmore College from 1987-99. In 1994-95 he was a Phi Beta Kappa Visiting Scholar, and for the fall of 2008 he is the Case Visiting Professor of Classics at Indiana University.
Porter is the author of books on Horace and Greek tragedy. He has written numerous articles on topics in classics, music, and 20th century literature. His book, On the Divide: The Many Lives of Willa Cather, was published in 2008 by the University of Nebraska Press and a second book on Cather, co-authored with a colleague at Drew University, is nearing completion.
His lecture is free and open to the public. Seating for Visiting Artists Series events will be by general admission, though free tickets are required. Contact the Fine Arts Center Box Office by email at firstname.lastname@example.com; or phone: 765-361-6411. Box Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 12 noon and 1:30 to 4 p.m. The box office will open 90 minutes before curtain time for Visiting Artists events. Tickets not claimed at the Box Office 10 minutes prior to curtain will be released to the general public.

A winner was selected from 52 designs submitted by 6 freelance designers.
Mybody Health - http://www.mybodyinstitute.com
I run a group of health and wellness clinics in Toronto, Canada. We offer a range of multi-disciplinary services for rehab from injury or surgery, to exercise, wellness, nutrition programs and associated programs.
We are a growing company full of young and passionate professionals and I would like to update our image to reflect that.
Our patients are diverse but mainly middle-aged women. We are also associated with local gyms so our look must appeal to the gym crowd.
We require 10 different icons representing each of the different services or discplines we provide. Each should represent the service graphically.
Icons need to clearly communicate the action and be quickly identified even with a quick glance. Timeless, simple and clean is best.
These icons will be used in on brochures, on clinics windows and online. We may consider animating the icons at some point so please keep this in mind.
I don't want to limit creativity but my initial inclination is that the icons/buttons be designed as circles. However... I am not married to this so please don't consider this a requirement.
The 10 icons should represent the following:
- Physiotherapy
- Chiropractic
- Massage Therapy
- Acupuncture
- Nutrition & Weight Loss
- Custom Bracing
- Orthotics
- Core Strengthening
- Exercise Prescription & Medically Supervised Personal Training
- Medical Assessments
Please only submit icon samples of 3 or 4 of the above services so that I can get an idea of where you're going with it. I will only require the full set from the winning bid.
If you require any clarification on the above, please ask.
Good luck and thank you in advance for taking the time to work on this.

Have you ever let your partner go and would do anything possible or imaginable to get him or her back? Maybe you were the one that was let go and you are left mystified, and shaken, confused about what went wrong and why. No matter the circumstance, you, like thousands and thousands of others are going through a break up that is very much possible to win that person back. Here you will find a tid bit of information to help you learn how to get your ex back.
How would you feel if I told you that you can make your girlfriend or boyfriend to forget and forgive everything that you have ever done wrong? You can make them forget completely about being with anyone else other than you. In fact, you can get them to want you back so bad that they would do anything, even beg and plead to get your ex boyfriend back.
Before we get into what you can do, let's go over a few points about what NOT to do. These are just as important because most people who are emotionally unstable don't always act without thinking first. Your body and mind will tell you to react and act on instinct but that is the worst thing that you can do.
- Do not try to make your ex boyfriend or girlfriend jealous by dating or flirting with someone else! Think about why you wouldn't want to do this real hard. It's not going to make them want you even more, just the opposite! They will be so angry that it will just completely reaffirm why they shouldn't be with you now or ever. It will probably just make them go out and do the same. Is that what you really want? Didn't think so.
- Don't try to ignore your ex or stay far away for too long. Yes it may be good to give each other enough space for a brief period to make sure that you do in fact want your ex back. If you give them too much time, they will indeed move on and it may just be too late to try to rekindle the fire. Without being too much up in their face about how bad you want them back, let it be known that you are thinking about them and care about them. And if you don't try, how are you going to know whether or not they don't feel the same way about you?
- Be careful with accepting advice from others. If is sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Take your time to really research what works and what doesn't. There are some really good programs online that CAN help, but there are also other articles and programs that most surely will not. I hate to say it, but learning how to get your ex back is not going to happen overnight. There are all kinds of effective methods that you can use and most of these methods will take work over a period of time. There's no magic button or easy button that will make him or her instantly come back to you without effort and time.
3 Powerful Tips to Win Your Love Back
- Do everything in your power to satisfy his or her senses. This will help if done properly. What I mean by this is that you should dress nice and wear something that you know your girl or your man will like. Do you have an outfit that your man or woman likes you in? How about a cologne or perfume? Or maybe a certain body spray? You can also take them out to eat at their favorite restaurant, play their favorite music, and do things that your ex generally can't say no to and will appreciate you even more. By playing favorites with their senses you are digging right into their subconscious level. Subconsciously they are starting to understand why they need to be back with you.
- Know what you are going to say and when you are going to say it. These first words you communicate mean more than you might think. First impressions are super, duper important. Besides playing nice with his/her senses (above), you also need to prepare what you are going to communicate, how and when. Are you going to call your ex or text? What are you going to say? Where are you going to meet if he says yes? These are all things you need to figure out before you run into them again.
- Keep in mind that no matter what, nothing is without hope. Even if you royally screwed things up and think there is no way in hell that your ex would ever get back with you, if you start making the right moves and show him or her, with actions and words, it is possible to win them back. Love has a funny way of progressing and evolving with couples, and everything happens for a reason. So if you truly feel you are supposed to be with this person, you need to fight for that love and never give up on it.
Additional Tip: Works Great!
Something that I have seen work first hand is to playfully use your ex's words and incorporate them into your dialogue with them. For example, your man or woman might use a figure of speech that no one else uses. If you start saying it, then they will subconsciously (Yes this word again. Psychology has everything to do with getting your ex back) think that the two of you are compatible because you understand each other and communicate so well.
I hope this article about how to get your ex back was somewhat helpful for you. It may not be the easy button you might have been hoping for, but remember that all is possible with love and given enough time and effort, you can get your ex back. The human mind works in mysterious ways and you can use what we know about psychology to work this person back into your life, and for good.

Galicia, land of camellias
Gardens at the Pazo Rubiáns Manor House. Photo courtesy of the Galicia Tourist Board
We invite you to discover 12 magical places in Galicia, where you'll find the best examples of this beautiful flower. Most of these places are pazos: stunning manor houses which are typical of this part of Spain. You'll also find parks, castles, museums, etc. - perfect for letting yourself be surrounded by the charm of the culture and nature in Galicia.
Legend has it that Marco Polo brought camellias to Europe as a souvenir from China and the Silk Route. But it was actually the Portuguese who brought this beautiful flower to Galicia from the East. Thanks to this, today we can find more than 8,000 varieties of camellias in this area. Come and discover the places where you can find this plant, which was considered to the "most beautiful flower under the heavens". Pazo de Mariñán Manor House In the Pazo de Mariñán manor house (Bergondo, A Coruña), situated on the coast, you'll be able to smell the scent of camellias and find pleasant surprises such as the Palabra Garden. In this garden, each tree bears the message of the person who planted it. We can read José Hierro's cypress, Ian Gibson's rhododendron, Mario Benedetti's ceibo from Uruguay, and Camilo José Cela's box tree, which states: "Let's try to save ourselves by saving nature". Alameda in Santiago de Compostela If you want to take a relaxing walk, we recommend coming to this park in the capital of Galicia. You'll be surrounded by a landscape of hundred-year-old oak trees, called "carballos" in Galician. And under the shade of lemon trees, banana trees and palm trees, you'll see fantastic camellias. Pazo de Santa Cruz de Ribadulla Manor House More than 200 varieties of camellias grow here (Vedra, A Coruña) every winter. This special collection dates back to the 19th century and can be considered the best in Galicia. A real forest of flowers (leading to an avenue with hundred-year-old olive trees, a waterfall and a row of box trees) will make you feel as if you were in a fairy tale.
Pazo de Oca Manor House A visit to this magnificent pazo (A Estrada, Pontevedra) alone makes the journey worthwhile. In the gardens you'll find some of the oldest camellias in Spain, which flower until May, next to the hydrangeas. Rosalía de Castro House-Museum The old home of one of the most famous Galician writers (in Padrón, A Coruña) preserves a small romantic garden, perfect for enjoying camellias and getting lost in the poetic environment. Pazo de Rubiáns Manor House It is a medieval pazo (Vilagarcía de Arousa, Pontevedra) which preserves hundred-year-old camellias - yellow, white, fuchsia and red. It has the famous variety, "Eugenia de Montijo". It was given this name to honour the red-haired empress who was born in Granada. Pazo Quinteiro Da Cruz Manor House The camellias in the gardens of this pazo (Ribadumia, Pontevedra) bloom in February and put on a real show of colour. When you get here you'll feel just great; you'll hear the trickle of water on the rock and you'll be surrounded by Albariño vineyards (one of the most typical wines in Galicia). Pazo de A Saleta Manor House An English couple planted many exotic plants in the gardens of this pazo (Meis, Pontevedra), in 1968, including camellias. Since then, more than 200 varieties flower in this place. Pazo de Lourizán Manor House Tradition has it that in Lourizán (Pontevedra) it is not a metaphor to say you'll walk on a bed of flowers. That is because the gardens of this impressive pazo are full of camellias, as well as oak trees, chestnut trees, birch trees, cypresses, monkey-puzzle trees, cedar trees, magnolias, etc. Soutomaior Castle The most outstanding feature in this place (in Pontevedra) is the contrast between the old medieval fortress and the delicate garden, where camellias are mixed with roses of all colours and sizes. O Castro Park This park in the city of Vigo (Pontevedra) is built on the site of an old Celtic fort. We recommend climbing right to the top, not only to see the camellias, but to get a marvellous panoramic view of the estuary and the coming and going of the boats. When is the best time? At sunset. Pazo-Museum Quiñones de León If you decide to visit it (also in Vigo), you'll be able to see the largest collection of Galician paintings, and magical gardens where there is an avenue lined with double rows of camellias, called Paseo de Odriozola, in honour of a scholar in this genre. A real beauty. Many of these gardens organise guided tours so that you can get to know all their secrets. And if you travel to Galicia from December to March, you'll find that in many towns (Santiago de Compostela, A Coruña, Domaio, Tomiño, Vedra, Lérez, A Guarda, Narón, Boiro, etc.) there are various exhibitions and competitions related to camellias. All you have to do is follow the scent of this flower. You will find all the information on the official website of the Galicia Tourist Board.
