With all this mining comes alot of trucks on the road one of note was a wide load, this was the widest load I have ever seen , it took up both sides of the road so there was no way you could pass it, and it was quite disconcerting with it coming towards us, we had to pull right off the road. It was carrying the truck trays they use in the ...

+ - Red Hat Exchange is Dead ->
"When we came out with RHX we were hoping for more ambitious adoption but we've learned that selling third-party applications via a marketplace is challenging," Mike Evans, Red Hat's vice president of corporate developmen said."When you've got marketplaces that offer buyers the choice of buying in the marketplace or directly from the vendor themselves, which is what our marketplace was, there isn't a real efficient marketplace."

You Only Live Once (1937): The best way to explore a foreign land is to hit the road. For his second film in Hollywood, Fritz Lang—fresh from fleeing Nazi Germany—did just that, sending his ex-con hero (Henry Fonda) and his wife (Sylvia Sydney) on America's highways in search of peace. Instead they find persecution, judicial laziness and an unwillingness to forgive past deeds, with enough pockets of humanity to still keep you delusionally believing in the dream.
Detour (1945): "Whichever way you turn, fate sticks out a foot to trip you," muses Tom Neal's luckless musician as his trip to Hollywood turns into a nightmare of cheap motel rooms, copious rear projection and Ann Savage's monstrous performance. Filmed in four days, this no-budget gutter noir is a reflection of its maker, Edgar G. Ulmer, who went from working with the German Expressionists to manning sly Poverty Row programmers.
Stroszek (1976): Werner Herzog has fared far better in his American travels than the German immigrants of his darkest film, and he's even been shot here. Playing a version of himself, the incomparable Bruno S. leads a trio to the Midwest, where they're oblivious to the bankers and capitalists who undo them, albeit politely. By journey's end, all that's left of America's promise is a dancing chicken.
Paris, Texas (1984): Wim Wenders, the poet laureate of wanderlust (see: Kings of the Road), turns his cameras on the big skies of Texas and California, in turn making the familiar seem positively alien.
Twentynine Palms (2004): French philosopher-turned-filmmaker Bruno Dumont (Humanité, Hadewijch) hangs with a couple as they fight and fuck through the area in and around Joshua Tree National Park—a great road movie with a miserably inane conclusion.
Paul (2011): Journeys should be about discovering the new, yet Simon Pegg and Nick Frost appear to have constructed their version of the South through movies: it's all rednecks, creationists and the E.T.s of Steven Spielberg. Though, unlike Pegg and Frost, Spielberg wisely refrained from making his E.T. and Close Encounters aliens nearly as "biz-zay" as The Simpsons' Poochie.

With the rumored new Firework Spectacular heading to Disneyland for its 60th, what other character(s) would you like to see fly over Sleeping Beauty Castle?
Printable View
With the rumored new Firework Spectacular heading to Disneyland for its 60th, what other character(s) would you like to see fly over Sleeping Beauty Castle?
Peter, Wendy, John and Michael. ;) That would be pretty cool.
Zero also flew over the castle. Would like to see Pegasus from Hercules fly over the castle. That wire. Would also be good start for a Spiderman web.
Or this guy ^ with Jasmine and Genie. Just a big ol' parade in the sky. ;)
Three Good Fairies
Can we shoot Duffy over the castle and out into traffic on Harbor?
I mean the coolest would be the Dragon...like over at WDW....I mean what's cooler then a fire breathing Dragon flying over head while fireworks light the sky
"What the heck is this bear?"
"It was created originally for WDW, but ended up being a hit in Disney Tokyo after they tweaked him a bit."
"Oh... so it was created for an Asian market by Asian marketers?"
"Er.. yeah.. I suppose."
"So it isn't REALLY Disney."
"Um.. okay."
"I hate Duffy."
How about a helicarrier - full scale
So many good suggestions!
How about:
Mary Poppins!
Eva from Wall-E
Spring Sprite from Fantasia 2000
Zazu from Lion King
Elliot the dragon
That's right! Forgot about Zero. Spiderman would throw people off. Would love to see their reaction though lol.
If we're not worried about scale, how about:
The Millenium Falcon
Pegasus would also be awesome. How about Pegasus as a baby? This would make an "Awwwwwwwwe" moment, I think.
wouldn't mind seeing Iron Man....but the kind of show that would warrant him would probably be awful and or feel forced. :(

HCPL branches will close on Thursday, April 2 at 5 PM and will be closed April 3 through April 5. We will reopen on Monday, April 6 for regular hours.
Lone Star College - Cy-Fair Library will be open Thursday April 2 until 10 PM.
ADA Info
We are pleased to announce that the South Houston Branch Library will reopen on Monday, March 12 at 1:00 PM. The contractors are now putting the finishing touches on the interior renovations which include new paint, carpet, furniture and work on the building's infrastructure. Construction on the branch's new computer lab will continue and we will keep you informed as work progresses.
It's like this: for a very long time, we are not here; then we are here but not for very long; then we are not here for the longest time. Some people know the general whereabouts of "not here." Myself…I haven't the foggiest.
What I do know is that the poet, Wislawa Szymborska, is not here anymore.
People who really knew her—the people who liked or didn't like her cooking, who worried that she smoked too much, who had to sit and listen to her talk through the years of not writing after she won the Nobel Prize—will be allowed to cry and howl and shuffle around their flats in bedraggled flannel robes as long they need to. That is their right because they knew and loved her.
A young band director at a rough inner city school, through hard work and inspirational leadership, transforms a run-of-the-mill jazz ensemble into a force-of-nature funk band that storms through all comers at national competitions. Thirty-five years later, the students return to pay tribute to the teacher and mentor who changed their lives. Sounds like a Hollywood heart-warmer, right?. What if the movie was set right here in Houston? What if it wasn't "based on a true story," but absolutely true?
The flood of awards--literary and cinematic--that come churning out of your preferred news delivery device this time of year is almost as overwhelming and/or annoying as all those "Best of" lists that precede it. Because there are just so many awards with maddeningly similar names--Quick! what's the difference between an Obie and a Tony?--it's hard to choose which (if any) to pay attention to. Facing another round of glitzy award spectacles, many of us ask ourselves a very good question: "Why should I care what these people say I should read or watch or listen to?"
This February, Harris County Public Library will celebrate Black History Month with a slate of programs and events that is as dynamic and diverse as Texas' African American communities themselves. Programs range from live music, spoken word and film to special storytimes for the kids and crafts inspired by African and African American traditions for all ages.
Annually, on the anniversary of Edgar Allan Poe's birth, the Mystery Writers of America announce the nominations for the aptly named Edgar Awards honoring "excellence in mystery." Prize categories include Best Novel, Best First Novel by an American Author and Best Fact Crime, as well as Best Juvenile and Young Adult Mysteries.
The list of past winners is chock full of above-the-title names such as James Lee Burke, Elmore Leonard and S. J. Rozan. So just because you haven't heard of some of this year's nominees, doesn't mean you won't be hearing a lot more about them in the future.
It is all too easy for successful writers to slide into a comfort zone and never want to leave it. Writing is such an iffy proposition, working from a formula isn't just easier and safer for the psyche, it's often the smartest business decision one can make--if it worked once, chances are pretty good it will work again.
The historian, author, PBS mainstay and owner of the most avuncular voice this side of Bob Ross, David McCullough has found his formula and shows no inclination to tinker with it. He's not out to stretch our minds or question the foundations of American Civilization. He's at heart a weaver of tales and he's exceedingly good at it.
When you read a really good book, you just naturally want to tell people about it. So you do—on the bus, at lunch, maybe even on Facebook. But, in the end, how many people have you reached? 100? 500? What if you could double or triple that number? What if you could go viral and win a prize too? Harris County Public Library can't guarantee you'll be the next Keyboard Cat or Annoying Orange, but you never know…
For many adults Christmas has become a rote observance of traditions wholly estranged from their original meanings. For others it is a sort of annual moral mulligan, a time to shower attention, gifts and good cheer on those who rightly deserve those things year-round. For still others it is a time to take stock of their lives—to measure themselves against the pervasive messages of the season and to inevitably judge themselves lacking.
The message of every "very special" Christmas Special on TV is that Christmas is not at all about the gifts and tinselly excess, but the advertisements strewn liberally throughout make an utterly convincing counter-argument.

These coaches are on the hottest of hot seats.
Southern Mississippi – Ellis Johnson
It's hard to take over a team that went 12 – 2 last season and turn that team into a winless 0 – 9 team. If Ellis Johnson returns next season, it'll be a miracle. No one has done less with what the previous coach had given him. Even though quarterback Austin Davis is gone there is absolutely no way that this team should lose to Marshall, Rice, and UAB.
Auburn – Gene Chizik
The Auburn coach can't seem to squeak out a win over anyone. Maybe that 5 – 16 record at Iowa State probably should have had a little more significance in his hiring? Who's to say that some other coach couldn't have
paid recruited Cam Newton to sign with the Tigers and won a BCS title with him. Auburn fans may need to forget that title because Chizik is heading the wrong way. Either way, Chizik may end up getting one more year to try and turn things around while Auburn waits for his buyout to drop to 5 million.
Tennessee – Derek Dooley
Dooley's seat was warm when he was hired and he's never really been given a fair chance by Vols fans, now that they are 4 – 5, not that bad really when compared to Gene Chizik's 2 – 7 above, the Tennessee fans are ready for a change. I would expect Dooley to get one more year in Tennessee to put him at 4 seasons and see if his 4th can be turned around, but that may not happen if the right people say no.
Iowa – Kirk Ferentz
The second most overpaid coach, behind Mack Brown, in college football lost to Indiana last weekend. Yes the Hawkeyes have suffered some pretty significant injuries on offense, but Indiana? Really? Even though Ferentz reached 100 wins this season in his time at Iowa, the Hawkeyes probably should start looking around with guys like Meyer, Hoke, Pelini, and Bielema having success in the B1G.
Kentucky – Joker Phillips

La Gloria Cubana Serie R #7 5 Pack
La Gloria Serie 'R' No. 7 cigars present a bold, complex-tasting blend of robust Nicaraguan Ligero and aromatic Dominican Olor tobaccos skillfully handrolled in thick, oily Maduro wrappers. The wide ring size really turns up the volume, too. If you love dark, spicy tobacco flavor, try 5 first!
Great cigar, I really love this stick; this and the La Flor Dominicana are my faves but there are a lot of these gars that come apart. In My humble opinion, its better to keep your Humidor moist for these puppies. However, a moist,soft, and fresh one of these, is hard to beat.
This is a Great cigar. It's a full flavored, long lasting smoke that looks great, burns well and draws nicely. The maduro wrapper is a must on this one for sure. You'll love this one
This is one of my go to cigars, but with each stick I cross my fingers. The draw is sometimes hard and very seldom do I have one that smokes evenly. But, I love the taste and punch.

Great Peruvian restaurant...food was delicious and service was very good!
I had the Seco de carne with beans and rice, and my husband ordered Lomo saltado- meat was tender and the flavour was perfect! I would definitely eat here again.
Dont miss the Lomo Saltado and arroz con pollo. Original peruvian flavours. Bravo!!! They have cusqueña beer. Prices are reasonable considering how big are the servings. We paid 10 euros per a lomo saltado and 2 people ate. We will be back for sure.
we were please to stumble upon this place and on an empty stomach i might add.
food portion was good and the spicy chutney blend well with the beer.
i wished i had ordered the cerviche to sample
Nice experience and a great variety of items. Ceviche was very good, seafood was also good. The restaurant is a casual setting.
It was the first time I was eating food from Perù. I like it, specially the main dish and one of their homemade cakes. I think you should pay attention of what you choose if you want to eat well, but I could see it was ok overall. The price it's ok.
Lovely Peruvian food with the latinamerican taste. Highly recommend place with generous and delicious dishes and an excellent service.
If you are looking for the south American cuisine, El Norteno is a must!!!
So my In-laws and my Wife stumbled upon this restaurant the other night and we had to go back the day after because it was delicious. I had the Bistec with Egg and rice and beans and salad and OMG.

After having more than our fill of Italian food, we wanted to try something different. We decided to try out this place located along Castro Pretorio and just a block away from our hotel and the Termini on the other direction.

We had dinner here and it was really good! We are visiting from Texas & my boyfriend was born & raised in Peru. We like trying Peruvian restaurants whenever we travel. We enjoyed the PAPA A LA HUANCAINA, CEVICHE, LOMO SALTADO, & CAUSA. Staff was very attentive and looked like they were very busy with plenty of customers. Will probably...

Robert Dilonardo CIO Domestic Nuclear Detection OfficeHomeland Security Department
The work: Leading the development of a nationwide system for sharing information about the detection of radiological materials that could be used for terrorist attacks.
The impact: Dilonardo's approach to integrating information from detection and diagnostic systems deployed by federal, state and local agencies provides a model that could be used to respond to chemical, biological and explosive threats.
The nuts and bolts: Dilonardo based the prototype on commercial technology and industry standards for information sharing. Working well beyond his role of managing IT for his agency, he organized a live demonstration of the system with participants from several federal and state agencies.

Harrowing as it may be, a trip to Auschwitz is almost reason enough alone to visit Krakow. The entire complex, about 50km from Krakow, has been preserved as a museum to honour those who died in the Holocaust. It's estimated that 1.1 million, mostly Jewish people, died at Auschwitz alone. It's a figure that most humans can't contemplate, and can overwhelm many visitors when the reality faces them so abruptly.
The complex is divided into two key areas. The first is Auschwitz I where the inmates were kept in horrific conditions. The barracks that housed them now present haunting exhibits that paint a clear picture of life in this, the most infamous of concentration camps. From the ordinary, the mountain of shoes and spectacles, to the horrific experiments of Dr. Mengele, you won't easily forget what you see. There are also exhibits on each country's response to the Holocaust, from the bravery of the Poles and Dutch, to the less than heroic efforts of my present home country, Hungary.
The second area is Auschwitz II (Birkenau). This is the death camp where over a million people were murdered in only a matter of years. A visit here may prove too much for some people after witnessing the horrors of just those who lived in Auschwitz. You'll need to steel yourself before you get on the bus to the Birkenau.
Transport to Auschwitz is relatively easy. There are regular buses from the bus station next to the main train station. The buses take about 2 hours. You can find out which bus is going to Oświęcim (Auschwitz in Polish) on the big timetables inside the station. Just find the bus number in the park outside, and get onboard. You pay the bus driver. There's a timetable for return buses where you get off at the museum.
Buses between Auschwitz I and II run from just outside the main entrance.
A large mound of excitement
I''m not sure how many folk visit Krakow's mounds. They are a curious phenomenon, originally suspected of being burial places of kings, and more recently thrown up as monuments to national heroes (for example Tadeuz Kosckiusko).
Take a tram from the centre up to the Salvator terminus, then walk up the tree lined road (or wait for a bus) to the mound atop Sikornik Hill. There are cafe's a, chapel to St Bronislawa and even a hotel here, plus views to the centre, the ring of the Planty and away beyond to smoky Nowa Huta and its smokestacks

Wieliczka Salt Mines
A visit to the Salt mines is a must. I just loved it, but at times did feel a bit closterphobic. You descent into the mines climbing down 300 odd steps, but it is well worth it. The historic Wieliczka salt mine has been continous from the Middle Ages, constructed on nine levels, these excavations strech for 300 kilometers and reach a depth of 327 meters. A walk through the mine takes approx 3 hours and you do about 3,5 kilometers and in total climb about 800 stairs.
From Krakow you can get here by public transport using bus 304 which takes about 20 minutes. The bus starts from Kurniki street and the cost is 4 zl one way, make sure you have a valid ticket as plain clothed inspectors will slap you with a hearty spot fine if caught without one. The bus stop where you must get off is called Wieliczka Kopalnia Soli. The tours for individuals cost 75 zl and there is a guided tour approx every half hour in English, German, Spanish, Italian, polish and French.

Zator Ponds
Midway between Auschwitz and Krakow are these series of ponds, originally dug in the middle ages and stocked with fish. Today, the whole area is a nature preserve and a haven for birds.
Not easy to find, so I would suggest finding a guide or even a group. Binoculars, spotting scope and insect repellent are all suggested items to bring. A good bird book on Europe will be handy as well.
Towarzystwo Gimnastyczne Sokol
I'm not going to pretend I understand the history of this building. Even though I've translated the site below it's pretty complex and very detailed indeed.
As far as I can make out, the building (dating from 1885) was the base for a society which worked with young people, teaching gymnastics and 'modern' physical education but also..in the early years of the 20th century...preparing them for an armed struggle for an independent Poland.
You can read more on the site below (in Polish). I just liked the building very much, especially the rather lovely golden mosaics on its gable end.
You'll find it on Marszalka Josefa Pilsudskiego, near the junction with Ul. Retoryka and Ul. Garncarska.

The Josef Pilsudski monument
I came across this monument whilst wandering the outer edge of Krakow's historical centre. My guidebook had no information and there is no English inscription, so I had to wait until I got home to research it.
The monument, created by Czeslaw Dźwigaj and erected in 2008, is set at the junction of Ul. Retoryka, Ul. Garncasrka and Marsalska Josefa Pilsudskiego. It is made up of several parts: the General himself on a red marble plinth, a flagpole and..the part which initially caught my eye...the figures of four soldiers moving forward together.
Pilsudski had a fascinating life, leading a group which sought Polish independence from Russia, organising paramilitary units which could form a future Polish Army, 'forming the Polish Legions which fought in the First World War and...eventually..becoming the leader of Poland from 1926-1935. The life of this man was hugely complicated and far too detailed to describe here. You can read the wiki page below to get more information.

'Proper' markets
The 'market' stalls inside the Sukiennice are very nice. The permanent 'craft' market in the wooden huts next to the Sukiennice is also very nice, with lots of good value things to buy.
But they are not 'proper' markets used by ordinary Krakowians. There are some of these a little outside the historical centre but still within easy walking distance and worth browsing around.
The market at Plac Nowy in Kazimierz surrounds a strangely-shaped building, the Okraglak, used as a kosher slaughterhouse and butcher prior to the Second World War. When I visited in March 2013 the market stalls were pretty much deserted but when I've visited in summer they were busier, with stalls selling secondhand goods, souvenirs and fresh produce. I suspect that this market now largely caters for the many visitors who pass through Plac Nowy on their explorations of Kazimierz.
The market held in Rynek Kleparski. (you might see it marked on maps as Stary Kleparz) was quiet when I visited and took my photos around 8am on Tuesday, but by mid-morning on Thursday it was very busy indeed. It's all undercover (not surprising, given Polish winters) but open to the elements at the side. Two sides are lined with small permanent 'shops' selling meat, bread, cakes, dog treats, clothes, shoes, underwear etc etc...and in the middle there are 'traditional' market stalls, also selling vegetables, cheese, eggs, flowers, socks, slippers etc etc. It's a fascinating market to browse around. I was very impressed by the number of layers worn by the ladies on the market stalls (and they certainly needed them).
'Proper' markets anywhere always give a good insight into how ordinary people live and what their preferences are. For that reason alone they are worth exploring..though you'll also find the prices for goods on, for example, Rynek Kleparski are lower than on Rynek Glowny.
Rynek Kleparski is to the north of the historical centre, just outside the Planty. From the Barbikan and Florianska cross Ulica Bastowa and walk up Ulica Warsawska towards the Grunwald monument. Take the first left and you will come to Rynek Kleparski.

Bishop Erzam Ciolek Palace
I'm not one for spending hours and hours in any museum: they very quickly make my head spin. I much prefer smaller museums, where there is just enough interest for an hour or so's browsing.
In 2013 circumstances dictated that I had time to spare but restrictions on filling that time. So I decided to visit this wonderfully-renovated 'palace', itself dating from the 1400s and now housing a collection of Medieval religious artwork.
If you have any interest in Medieval art this place is definitely worth visiting. The 'religious' element is irrelevant: much (most?) of the artwork produced during the Medieval period in Europe was related to religion, simply because the Church was the major commissioner of such pieces. But that does not detract from the skill of the workmanship or the beauty of the pieces.
I particularly liked the way one can get very close to the paintings and sculptures on show: it's fascinating to see exactly how the paint was brushed on, or how the fingernails were carved.
Particular highlights, for me, were the 14th-century sculpture of a serene Madonna with chirpy (albeit bat-eared) baby Jesus, the various very-gory-indeed depictions of the martyrdom of sundry saints and the strange 'Hall of Death' which features coffin portraits from the 1600s. Seeing the faces of real people makes history come alive.
I also felt this in the final room, where there is a series of full-size portraits of various Polish and Lithuanian 'hetmen' (top military officers from the mid-1500s to the late 1700s, when Poland and Lithuania formed a 'commonwealth'). They were all hefty, muscular men, mostly with fully-shaven heads and looking very, very fierce indeed. I was fascinated to see that just one of them had a very 'modern' haircut with a stripe of hair left running along the top of his otherwise-shaven head!
There's another gallery which has Orthodox religious art from the same period (with a very good collection of icons) but, unfortunately, it was closed when I visited.
Make sure you look up during your visit to see the original, beautifully-painted and intricately-decorated wooden ceilings.
One ticket will get you into both galleries. In March 2013 entrance cost 12 zloty.
You'll find the palace at 17, Ulica Kanonicza, which runs parallel to the lower end of Ulica Grodzka towards the castle.
Closed Mondays, open 10-6 Tuesday to Saturday and 10-4 on Sunday.

Fr Bernardek footbridge- love locks
Sometimes in walking around a city you're visiting you see things that really give you a small glimpse of how locals really live and some of the things that are important to them.
We were coming out of the Jewish Quarter and there was a bridge that goes over into Podgorze, at first glance it is nothing special, just your ordinary pedestrian bridge. But as you are crossing you see all these locks attached to the bridge. Look closely and you will see the locks (ordinary padlocks) are inscribed with the names of couples before they get married.
Cool! I like it:) I wish them many years of love
The bridge is named after Laetius Bernatek (1847-1927) a monk and pharmacist. It spans the Wisla, uniting Podgorze with Kazimierz, so if you take a walking tour of Kazimierz you will probably pass by this bridge.

Explore Polish culture-native(naive/primitive) art
The Ethnographic Museum is a delightful stop along the way if you are walking from the main square to Kazimierz District. It's worth visiting this charming little museum for a look at true native art which is copied by the soulvenires we see in many shops.
Their collections of early furnishings, farm tools, costumes, and other assorted early treasures of Poland is nicely displayed and preserved.
Upstairs Gosia took a dreadful pic of me standing behind a costumed board where you stick your face through. I include it here for your amusement.
There is an excellent book written by a doctoral student at Cornell University in the US about the period between 1848 - 1914 in Poland. The author used the Ethnographic Museum for some of her detailed research, which I wish I could have the time to do myself. The Nation in the Village was written by Keely Stauter-Halsted and is extremely helpful in understanding the daily life of the villagers in southern Poland as they came from Serfdom to their national identity in Austrian Poland.
Don't forget to stop in their charming little gift shop where you can find painted wooden toys, books, cards, and other replicas of early crafts.

St. Bartholomew's Church, Nowa Huta.
St. Bartholomew's Church in Mogila, just outside of Nowa Huta, was built in 1466 as the second church to stand on this spot. It was erected by a royal carpenter, Maciej Maczka.
Two late-gothic chapels are attached to the nave. There is a richly decorated portal which ends in a lancet arch. The rococo polychrome decoration of the interior dates from 1766.
It is the oldest surviving three-naved timber church in Poland.

Professor's Garden
Professor's garden is a garden on Krakow's University. The entrance in the garden and university is free, but you can also have a guided tour. I think there is a door from the street to the garden but when I was there works were being done so you had to enter from the inside of the university.
The garden is really small, but quite charming. It has some scientific inventions and you can play with them and read the side explanations.
I don't know how it is during classes' period, but it deserves certainly a bit of your time in Krakow.
The second photo shows the passage from the university to the garden.
Tour of Nowa Huta
Visiting a Soviet funded socialist realist suburb probably isn't at the top of the average Krakow visitor list but my husband was sold by the idea of traveling by Trabant, a teeny tiny car popular in communist times. We were picked up at our hotel and I was the lucky one who got to stuff myself in what appeared to be a backseat for the ride to Nowa Huta, about 15-20 minutes by car from the old town in Krakow.
Our 1st stop was the town square to show us what the original scope was for Nowa Huta and what would have been there had they continued. They started work in 1947, just after WWII, but never fully realized their grand plan. You can see a photo of the giant statue of Lenin that once stood in the central square, a 1979 bombing attempt only dented his foot, but he was successfully removed in 1989 and sold to a Swede and now lives somewhere outside of Stockholm.
Then it was back into the sardine can for a tour of some of the more significant spots-the lake that never was, Arka Pana, the church built in the shape of an ark; and the steelworks that gives Nowa Huta it's name, for a time it was named after Lenin and employed 38,000 workers but is now owned by Arcor Mittal and employs a mere 5,000.
While not impossible to tour Nowa Huta on your own, you'd still probably want to use some form of public transport to get around or do as we did and go on a guided tour. Our guide was very young and they had prerecorded information that he stopped and started as we passed by the important sights in Nowa Huta. We booked the tour from our hotel the day before we went.
Photographing Krakow
Grab your camera and follow these tips for a photographers view of Krakow.
You will of course photograph the 'A list' locations, the 'Postcard ' shots are obvious, Mariacki church (St Mary's Basilica) Sukinennice, horse carriages, Wawel castle etc, but try to be different, not many of the photographers exhibiting in the city this month achieved this by following the pack and taking the same shots as everyone else.
I have to confess that after 12 years of visiting and now living here, I long ago stopped considering myself a tourist, yet I still do photograph the usual places, almost weekly. It's a compulsion, an addiction, the city really is just so beautiful and looks great through the lens. Like living with a supermodel, you might get used to them, sometimes irritated by them, but it is so tempting to whip out the camera for just one more shot.
Such is Krakow, a city of superlatives, breathtakingly beautiful filled with many irresistibly photogenic places and people, crying out to be photographed.
As someone who is equally passionate about Krakow and Photography, I can assure you that there is no better time for a photographer to enjoy the delights of photographing Krakow than when you are surrounded and inspired by so many wonderful exhibitions.
Krakow from above - Krakow looks good at ground level, but it's true beauty is revealed in greater splendour from above. There are many opportunities to get above those grand town houses and look down on the city.
Akademia Muzyczna w Krakowie, Academy of Music, Cracow ,Ul. Tomasza 43 – Take the lift to the rooftop café for splendid views over the city rooftops.
Krakow Balloon, Most Gunwaldzki, A 10 minute flight in the tethered balloon to a height of 186m, rewards you with great panoramic views of Krakow and far beyond. 9am – 8pm, 38zl
Jubilat Roof Terrace, Al. Krasińskiego 1 – There is a choice of rooftop cafes on the roof of the Jubilat department store with views across the River Wisla to Wawel. Whilst there, browse the department store for a traditional shopping experience from days gone by.
St Mary's Basilica Tower is open for visitors on selected days from May until August:. Climb the 239 steps to 51m above Rynek Główny and look down at the hustle and bustle below. Time your visit to reach the top on the hour and witness the Hejnał bugle call from up close.
Photo Walks
Wander up alleys and passageways to discover wonderful atmospheric courtyards and architecture, find patterns in the stonework and staircases. Don't be afraid to wander into these courtyards, go behind the large wooden doors and seek out the secret Krakow, hidden from the tourist view, seemingly frozen in time, unchanged for decades, sometimes centuries
Stroll around the Planty – The former moat, now a green park that encircles the old town. A welcome escape from the busy centre with numerous photo opportunities.
Ul. Kanonicza is widely agreed to be the prettiest of Krakow's streets, leading from Wawel castle towards the Rynek, take a detour at the top of the street don't follow the crowds onto Ul. Grodzka, instead turn left to Senacka street, a surprisingly quiet little corner of the old town.
Mały Rynek, - Walk through the pretty, tranquil Plac Mariacki, by the side of the church and through the archway into the often overlooked Mały Rynek, a stones throw from the Rynek.
Walk along the Wisla – Start in front of the Sheraton hotel where you will find chess players concentrating on their next move. Walk past Wawel Castle and the fire breathing dragon. Continue to the point where the Wisla separates two of Krakow most historical districts Kazimierz and Podgórze.
Explore Kazimierz, often described, as shabby chic, the former Jewish centre of Krakow now reinvented as one of the trendiest parts of the city. By day, take in the history, and Jewish cultural heritage, by night the cobbled streets and alleys ooze atmosphere. The interiors of cafes such as Alchemia, Singers, Mleczarnia and Eszeweria have interiors reminiscent of half a century ago. The passage between Jozefa 12 and ul Meiselsa will be familiar from 'Schindlers List', and also happens to have a great beer garden.
Cross the new footbridge and wander the atmospheric and evocative Podgórze. Don't be put off by the often crumbling facades, a legacy of decades of oppression and neglect. Podgórze was the site of the Jewish Ghetto and this is where you can find many photographic opportunities such as Plac Bohaterów Getta, the scene of many atrocities remembered by the unique memorial, a fragment of the ghetto wall survives at ul Lwowska, not far from the former Schindler factory, now a museum and its near neighbour the Museum of Contemporary Art, Krakow (MOCAK).
Visit one of the Krakow mounds, Kościuszko is the better known dominating the skyline above the Błonia Meadow with a fine view across the city and beyond, but I would suggest visiting Krakus mound. Located on the edge of Podgórze between the former Ghetto and the site of the Płaszów camp, near to Park Bednarskiego The mound is much smaller but from the top you can look down into the Liban Quarry where Płaszów inmates were forced to endure hard labour and where more recently Spielberg recreated the Płaszów camp for the film Schindlers List.
Markets – Krakow has many markets which provide opportunities to capture some of the colour and character of the city.
The Flea Market at Hale Targowe, an eclectic mix of goods ranging from rubbish to hidden gems and antiques.
Stary Kleparz market, Rynek Kleparski – Mostly selling general goods, fruit & veg, busy and a taste of real Krakow life.
Flower market, Rynke Glowny. – Colourful and accessible
Second Hand Clothes Market – Plac Nowy, Sunday mornings.
Night Photography – Many of Krakow's public buildings and monuments are floodlight and can attract photographers like moths to a lamp. Use a tripod and experiment with HDR techniques.. Take in a jazz concert at Harris Piano Bar, Rynek Glowny or Muniaka, on Florianska, great for aspiring concert photographers or to relax after a day trotting around the exhibitions.
Street Photography – If snapping people in the street is your thing, then you will not be disappointed. Krakow is alive with opportunities for candid shots, whether it be street performers, kids chasing pigeons, chess players by the river, a sleeping drunk on the Planty or any one of Krakow's esoteric or eccentric characters.
Social/Documentary Photography - Seek out the quirky unusual Krakow sights, try to document the aspects of Krakow life which are slowly disappearing. The kiosks, the Krakow pretzel (obwarzanek krakowski) sellers, communist era socialist buildings, traditional quirky eclectic shop window displays.
Black & White – Krakow is timeless, think black and white, think tones and textures, guaranteed that you will capture scenes which will be impossible to tell if they were taken yesterday or in 1940.
Festivals – May/June is festival season, check cracowlife.com for dates of festivals during your visit.
Museum of History of Photography, Muzeum Historii Fotografii, Jozefitow 16 http://www.mhf.krakow.pl/?action=eng
Photo Friendly Café – Pauza Café on Florianska hosts great exhibitions in the main bar and in their upstairs gallery, better still they have a great selection of quality international photo mags available on the bar.
Vintage Cameras – Krakow once had many Foto Komis, shops selling a huge variety of vintage or second hand cameras where you could snap up a bargain or treat yourself to a Russian Zorki (Leica Copy). One of the few surviving shops can be found at Zwierzyniecka 16.
To help you capture the magic of Krakow, here are a few tips on photography in general and Photographing Krakow in particular.
Photo Tickets – Some of the tourist sites, notably Mariacki church and Wieliczka salt mine insist that an additional Photo/Video ticket is purchased, (10zl), this is usually a sticker which should be worn in a conspicuous place to fend off over zealous security staff.
Safety – Krakow is a very safe city, indeed it could be considered to be safer and less prone to street crime than many other European cities. The usual common sense precautions should be applied such as never leaving your kit unattended and whilst it is easy to get caught up in the moment when looking through the camera you should always be aware of your surroundings if venturing out at night in less busy areas,
Photographing the Locals - Be polite and respectful. Don't be the pushy tourist with a camera. Some people, usually the older generation are less keen at being photographed.
Try to tell a story with your images. – Take an interest in the person and what they do, that way they are more likely to look beyond the camera and be more open to being photographed, giving you a more relaxed and natural subject.
Explore – Krakow is a wonderfully evocative city. Stray off the beaten track, wander down alley's into passageways and hidden courtyards which often reveal a rewarding surprise.
Don't be afraid of bad weather, the light reflecting off rain soaked cobbled streets can look wonderful.
Get in close - Look up. Capture the detail in the architecture, the old glass street numbers, ornate portals and stonework.
Daytrip to Zakopane
As I stayed 4 days in Krakow, I took the chance of a daytrip by bus to Zakopane. Its location in the High Tatra mountains makes it Polands most popular ski and hiking resort. It offers a nice mixture of provincial charm and busy touristy atmosphere.
There are plenty of buses serving the Krakow to Zakopane route (110 km).
Nevertheless, on busy days it is recommended to buy the ticket in advance to guarantee a seat.
A trip takes between 2 and 2.5 hours. Depending on the bus operator the single fare varies from 8.50 to 11.0 Zloty (2004).

Catoctin Creek Receives Awards from San Francisco and New York
Roundstone Rye "92 Proof" receives Silver Medal at the 2015 San Francisco World Spirits Competition and 87 point rating at Ultimate Spirits Challenge
Purcellville, VA, March 28, 2015 — In the same week, Catoctin Creek Distilling Company has been awarded two medals for its Roundstone Rye "92 Proof" whisky from two of the top international spirits judging contests: a silver medal from the San Francisco World Spirits Competition (SFWSC) and an 87 point rating (Very Good, Strong Recommendation) from F. Paul Pacult's Ultimate Spirits Challenge (USC) in New York City. Both competitions are very well regarded as some of the most impartial and well attended competitions in the world.
From the USC review:
Roundstone Rye "92 Proof" - Very pretty pale gold color. Big, bright, floral aromas followed in the mouth by a huge blast of sweet grain and spice. This one goes to 11! The finish leans toward bitter almond and spice, and then the floral elements return. 87 points - Very Good, Strong Recommendation
"We are very excited by this happy news: two medals in one week!" remarked Scott Harris, founder and general manager at Catoctin Creek. "These two competitions are the gold standards for spirits judging, receiving thousands of entrants from across the industry worldwide. To be selected for these medals, in competitions that perform completely blind tastings, shows that our spirits truly stand up to the international standard and are truly among the best in the world!"
The San Francisco World Spirits Competition is regarded as the most respected spirits competition in the world. The Competition was the first comprehensive, international spirits judging ever held in the United States on an annual basis. Products are evaluated by top spirits professionals and are judged in a blind, consensual procedure ensuring competitive integrity and making this annual competition the most reputable and recognized competition in the spirits industry.
Ultimate Beverage Challenge is the definitive spirits and wine evaluation company today. Its two world-class competitions Ultimate Spirits Challenge and Ultimate Wine Challenge provide unparalleled value, offering results that are reliable and easily understandable in today's marketplace, creating opportunities for the industry, and establishing the platinum standard that defines what beverage evaluation should be.

Pros: Huge rooms and really nice bathrooms. The staff were very accommodating.
Cons: Fix the A/C units to let your patrons keep the fan going all night for air circulation. Get new sheets and USE A LOT LESS STARCH.
Was being renovated so was pretty loud and didn't have great amenities but will be much better when it is finished. Overall the room was very nice but the A/C fan wouldn't stay on at night which made the room very hot at night. The bed was uncomfortable and the sheets had WAY too much starch, they were very stiff and made it hard to sleep.

I was in town with my daughter for a college audition and we needed to update her resume at the last minute. I called the front desk and was assisted by Jamie who had us email her the updated resume and she printed it out and it was waiting for us at the front desk on our way out for the audition. We were in a hurry and this really helped us out. Thanks Jamie.

I'm Jen. I'm 41 years old. I am originally from Glasgow, Scotland but I now live in Leeds, England. I married a Yorkshireman and we've been together for 19 years. We have a son who is 11 and also a big fat cat called Maisie who is 15 years old.
I am a Market Gardener 3 days a week and have been doing that job for 6 years now. But previously I used to work in bookselling and arts management.
I love interiors, especially modern rustic style mixed with vintage pieces. I'm passionate about handmade and independent sellers, so I like to write about them too. I also love to showcase places of interest in Yorkshire, from art galleries, cafes, shops, parks and museums. We love to camp all over the UK and plan to do lots more this year, weather permitting obviously!
I have been vegetarian for 25 years and I don't discuss my reasons why. I'm happy for other people to eat meat and fish, that's up to them - it's totally not my business! But I do like to show what vegetarian food we've been eating recently as that's just part of our daily family life. Oh and I believe that a slice of cake for breakfast is a good thing.
Thanks so much for reading!

NIKE extends share buy-back program by US$8 billion over four years
Posted by By Gary Roethenbaugh at 21 September, at 09 : 58 AM Print
The board of directors at NIKE Inc has approved a new four-year, US$8 billion program to repurchase shares of NIKE's Class B common stock. The company's current US$5 billion share repurchase program will be completed during the second quarter of fiscal 2013, and the new program will commence upon the completion of the current program.
By continuing to repurchase its own shares, Nike draws on cash reserves but continues to reduce the number of shares held by the public. This should benefit existing shareholders; as even if profits do not grow, the reduction in publicly available shares would increase the earnings per share.
"We believe repurchasing our shares is a prudent use of our cash and are pleased to extend NIKE's track record of returning value to shareholders through sustained share repurchases," said Mark Parker, NIKE's President and CEO.
"Over the past 10 years, NIKE Inc has returned US$10 billion to shareholders through the repurchase of more than 167 million shares. This new share repurchase program demonstrates our continued confidence in NIKE's strategy to generate long-term profitable growth and strong cash flow, and reflects our commitment to delivering value to our shareholders."
Repurchases under NIKE's new program will be made in open market or privately negotiated transactions in compliance with Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Rule 10b-18, 'subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, and other relevant factors.'
This share repurchase plan does not obligate NIKE Inc to acquire any particular amount of common stock, and it may be suspended at any time at the company's discretion. NIKE Inc had approximately 361 million shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding as of 31 August 2012.

Living in "Hollywood" it was
inevitable that I would get involved
in film making.
I am an executive producer of a new
short film,
Lock Box
. I also have a
short acting role. Mike Breyer wrote,
produced, and acted in it. All of the
filming has been completed, and it
is in the editing process. It should
be finished in October.
To view some back-of-the-camera
photos and to see who else is in the
movie, go to the film's website
I also created the poster for the film
using Adobe InDesign and
his is my latest art project. 20" x 20" prints of any of the mandalas (and collages) are available for $50 (includes shipping). Framed prints are $100.00.

I was a Peace Corps volunteer in Cameroon between 1969 and 1972. After 43 years I
returned to Cameroon in 2013 to see how the country has changed. When I came back
home, I decided to write a book about my trip. This is still a draft so you might find
some errors. I'd appreciate any feedback and/or corrections. I hope you enjoy it.
Cameroon Stamp Collection
This outstanding collection of Cameroonian stamps is one of the largest of its kind. Rarely does
such an almost-complete collection come up for sale. The is an excellent investment due to the
number of rare early issues present in the collection as well as many hard-to-find recent issues.
The collection contains 2,026 stamps with a catalog value of over $11,000. The stamps are
displayed on black stock sheets in a three-hold binder. Each stamp has been individually
identified by date of issue, Scott's catalog numbers, condition, catalog value, and date when the
value was determined. Older stamps are mounted in individual clear mounts. For more
information, contact Paul J. Hamel at 760-413-1465 or at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Which Digital SLR Camera?

Posted December 12, 2010 at 10:49PM
I am looking to move up into the digital SLR camera world. My main use will be photographing wild life.
I would like one with a good zoom lense.
My budget ranges from £300 to £400.
Can anyone please offer suggestions. I have seen the Sony A290 but would welcome advice.
Thank you.

Posted December 14, 2010 at 4:09PM
Also, were you aware that because of differences between sensors on SLR's and DSLR's, the quoted lens zoom range should be multiplied by 1.5 on the Sony? So for example a 70-300 zoom equates to 105-450 on the Sony DSLR. The downside is that the standard 18-70 kit lens that comes with the camera is really 27-105 - not so good as it sounds for wide-angled photography.
Please don't ask me to explain the technicalities because I cannot. I have a basic Sony A200 with a Minolta 70-300 lens and they work well together.

Would you think about going down the second hand route? A 40D would cost you about £350 (that price would be for a pristine boxed one) and is a quality camera, much better build than the 1000D, higher burst rate and better noise handling capabilities. Ive had mine for about a year and wont be upgrading anytime soon. I have used it for wildlife and airshows with some great results.

Many thanks everyone for responding.
So much information to take into consideration. I am not an experienced photographer. I currently use a Konica Minolta Z3 which was one of the last made before the company closed and Sony took over.
I also have an old Canon EOS 1000F 35mm but have not used it for a while. You tend not to use film cameras once you have found the convenience of digital.
Now that I am retired and have more time think its probably time to attend photography classes. That was I will move out of the automatic point and shoot mode.
Again thank you for your advice and comments.

If you have Canon EOS lenses for your Canon EOS 1000F 35mm camera they will fit the Canon 1000D £335 click here
However if any lenses you have are third party ones it's very possible that they will not work

how about the Sony Nex 3, it is perfect for those moving up from a normal point and shoot camera because it is not much bigger than a point and shoot camera. Sony lenses are also very good (I dont think they are the best but they are very good).
I had a quick look at Comet and they are selling it for £329 and I assume it will be even cheaper when bought from an online only shop so it is well in your budget

sorry that post seems messed up. My recommendation is the Sony Nex 3. Also, I did another quick google search and found the nex 5 within the top end of your price bracket so you should look into that as well. I dont own the nex 5 so dont want to mention much about it other than to mention it is is (obviously) the next model up from the nex 3 :)
