November 2010 November!! It"s hard to believe but one month of our curling season is already over. Let"s hope your skips are finally putting their brooms where you are throwing your rocks. So What Has Been Happening Around Here? To start, I would like to extend my sympathy on behalf of all members to Irene Darrell and her family on the loss of her brother. Also to Roberta Wood and her family on the passing of Muir Wood late in September. Muir was formerly a curler with the +40 group in the daytime. Diane Cooke also recently passed away. Diane used to curl with the Day Ladies. Our condolences to her family. And a "get well" wish is sent to Marilyn Harrold. We"re thinking about you Marilyn. Also, our best wishes for a full recovery are sent to Al Gagnon as he gradually gets back into shape after his mini stroke. Al is in good spirits except when discussing his car. He has to take his driver"s test again before he is allowed to drive. He has to wait until they, not Al, make the appointment. So, if you are talking to him, don"t mention "car". If I have my facts right, the first week of November is a big one for Dodd Gray. He will be 90 years old. I know people who can"t even count that high. Congratulations Dodd !! My wife and I were sitting at a table at my high school reunion. I kept staring at a drunken lady swigging her drink as she sat alone at a nearby table. My wife asked, "Do you know her?" "Yes" I sighed, "She"s my old girlfriend. I understand she took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear she hasn"t been sober since." "My God!" said my wife. "Who would think she could go on celebrating that long?" A Message from our President, Nacy Gallant Hello everyone! The club is up and rolling again for another season. It 's great to see everyone back in action. First, let me dispel some rumours that I've heard that the club is in trouble and may not make it. I can assure each and everyone of you that these concerns are totally unfounded. The Board, along with the help of our auditors, worked extremely hard this summer to make sure the club"s finances was on a solid foundation. Our finances are in good order. We all owe a big thank you to the Day Ladies who have volunteered their time in the office ensuring phone calls are answered and giving the office a welcoming face. Any other members who would like to be part of this group please contact Cathy Hughes or Anne Mitchell. Our Opening Dinner was very successful. Thanks to all who attended. I get the feeling that this was a good omen of membership participation in all club events throughout the year. November is upon us and The Skins bonspiel is set to start November 2nd. A big thank you to Zack Wise who volunteered to run this event. November 20th will be the night we have our annual Comedy Night featuring three comedians and an MC. This night has always been popular so I suggest you sign up quickly December 4th is the date for our club's major fund raiser – The Silent Auction. Cathy Hughes is chairing this and I know she will have more to say on this in this ROAR. Bar Chits must be paid promptly upon receipt of your statements. Failure to do so will result in the loss of your privilege of signing chits. Also, as we said earlier, dues must be paid in full by November 15th. Anyone who has not paid will not be allowed to curl unless they have made prior payment arrangements with the Board. John Ford, our auditor, is adamant on this issue. Always keep in mind this is your club. As part of this privilege, you have a responsibility, as a member, to support club activities. Have a great year of curling but most of all have fun. The art of being a parent is to sleep when the baby isn"t looking. Montreal West Curling Club's Web Site Have you looked at it lately? Dave Coombs has been working hard to get it up and running. It is filled with interesting and up to date information such as: - a compete calendar of club activities on and off the ice - rental information - updated Ladder information - the latest ROAR in case (God forbid!) you were to lose your copy - ….and much more And to make it even more interesting, thanks to Geneviève Lemieux, most of the information is available in French. To get there, go to http://www.mtlwestcurl.org/ Click on Welcome for the English version and Bienvenue for the French version. Give it a look. You won"t be disappointed. Our Kitchen I don"t know if you have noticed the two hard working gentlemen who have been plastering, washing and painting our kitchen to get it into tip top shape. Sometimes you may not have recognized them through all the dust, grime and sweat but Ed Jones and Jack Ford have put a lot of time and effort into completing this job. Thank you from all the club members guys. It looks terrific. ….And here"s a note from our Director of Building and Grounds….Jim Doyle: I would like to thank the volunteer duo of Jack Ford and Ed Jones for the re-hab of the kitchen. After a number of years, the kitchen had become an eyesore because there was paint and plaster chipping in non-food preparation areas. Added to that was the grime that had accumulated over the years. The work was completed last week and you can now eat off the walls. The blades of the ceiling fan are so clean that they sparkle thanks to Ed's elbow grease and keen eye. The carpet bowlers are awe-struck. I am Irish and entitled to embellish, a bit. One unexpected benefit was that Ed heard a number of stories that kept him laughing throughout the blitz. I would like to thank these two tireless volunteers who continue to help renovate and create the pleasing ambiance which we all enjoy. A man was going through the factory of a company that made plastic shapes. As he arrived, a huge number of horse"s heads had rolled off the line. Puzzled, he asked, "What do you do with these horse"s heads?" His guide said, "We send them to Quebec City and Ottawa for final assembly." Presidents' Bonspiel A one night bonspiel was held October 6th to determine who was in the best shape after a summer filled with absolutely no exercise. Urgent Santé had 2 ambulances at the ready outside the club. Fortunately, they weren"t needed. 8 teams of highly skilled….let me rephrase that…..8 teams of skilled…..no still not right…8 teams of huffing, puffing, "I"m not sweeping tonight" curlers took to the ice with trepidation on this night. Despite the occasional questions like, "are the rocks heavier this year?" and "have they made the sheets longer?" everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. It was especially enjoyable to these winners: Steven Fagan Chris Morrin Roberto Cruz (?) - not many people will believe Roberto won Glenn Payne There was a tie for the runner-up position: Geneviève Lemieux Velda Lulic Kelly Ryan Steve Holdaway Sophie Belanger Jim Doyle Sandra Arseneault Dave Dubeau Good job by Jeff Cohen who was pressed into service at the last minute to run this competition. My wife can"t cook. She uses our smoke alarm as her timer. Messages from Match Committee Here"s a message from Match Chairman, Kevin Alladin: Well we are off to a great start. Not too much to report thus far, but still a bit of news... First, you will have read about the Presidents" bonspiel in the previous page. I would just like to add my thanks to Jeff Cohen for running this bonspiel. Ladder Curling At a meeting of all teams on October 4th, it was decided by vote not to run the Brier format this season. Instead, we are going back to the old Past President"s and Grafton- Hunt format with 2 sections in each of these competitions. In the Past President"s competition, the top 3 teams from the B-section will move to the A, and the bottom 3 A-section teams will move to the B. When the Grafton-Hunt competition begins in the new year, the format will revert back to the usual two teams up and two teams down format. Each team has also been asked to vote on the format of the club championship competition as well as the infamous clock rule. The results of that vote will be posted on the bulletin board before the next half of competition begins. The final standing of each competition will be posted in the monthly ROAR. However, for a more current and up to date viewing of the standings, I would ask you all to visit our new club website. The results for the ladder, as well as other events can be found there. For those who do not know, go to: http://www.mtlwestcurl.org/scores.php So how"s it going so far in the ladder? The competition started with a bang on Tuesday, October 12th. We have 18 teams which is the same as last year. As the ROAR went to press, the leaders in the A and B sections were two undefeated teams: A Section: Debby Ship B Section: Frederic Marchand On a personal note, I would like to remind people to circle November 16th on your calendar. It has been 2 years in the making, but the Alladin vs. Ryan confrontation will take place that night. JIM MATCHETT (oops - I thought that shift key was repaired) tells me all tickets for this grudge game have already been sold. Skins The Skins competition will be taking place on November 2, 4, 9 and 11 (only Tuesdays and Thursdays like last year). Zack Wise will be running the event and is looking for volunteers to help. So please offer him your help Until next month! …… Kevin 2 hillbillies from Kentucky: Clem: Why do those folks up in Canada seem so much smarter than us? Jeb: They seem to read an awful lot. Clem: But we read plenty. Jeb: They do it outside of the outhouse. Auditor's Report Here is a report from John J. Ford: (not to be confused with the noted golfer and so-so curler John (Jack) Ford ) This year, all members with E-mail will be receiving their financial transactions and statements via this means. This will allow members to have a copy of their invoices for their records at MUCH less cost to the club. While those without E-mail will still be provided with a paper copy at the office, we would like to avoid this as much as possible to save on paper, ink and, of course, the extra work it gives to our volunteer office staff. When you receive my e-mail, you must add me to you SAFE SENDERS list (done through Junk Mail option under Tools) in-order to see the attachment. The attachments are sent in PDF format and are readable on PC's, MAC's, and or IPHONE's. I would like all Members to see their invoices and their monthly statements if there is a balance due. The books are run a lot differently this year and I want all members to see that our Club is in GOOD health and will remain that way. Should you feel that your invoice is not accurate - please feel free to contact Anne Mitchell at the bar for a look at the chit back-up covering the invoice It may take a few days to get back to the bar, but rest assured, all chits will be there in numerical order. When requesting, just supply your Invoice # (example B-35650). Thank you for your cooperation Jim: I"m opening up a hardware store. Jack: You"ve never even been in a hardware store. You have no clue about things there. Jim: Sure I do. I"m a guy. It"s built into us. Jack: I don"t think so. Jim: Anyhow…..you can help me now. Where will I put these pointy thingees? Jack: In the "Nail Bin". Day Ladies Here is Cathy Wardlaw"s report: Our season started with a welcome back coffee party where we all became "reacquainted" and informed of the upcoming season"s events. Then, the following week, Heather Broden and Judy Carson organized a very successful fun day. The 3 day Merry Go Round competition gave everyone the opportunity to get back their curling legs without too many aches and pains. Thanks to Bonny Allan and her Match committee for hosting this event. Incidentally, the winners were: Jocelyn Schultz Mary Johnson Linda English Cathy Wardlaw Serious curling started October 18th with the Queen Bee, October 19th with the Past Presidents, and October 21st with the Crystals. These competitions will run for the next few weeks. On the social side, congratulations to our executive for hosting a very successful bridge luncheon October 13th. A reminder that the next bridge luncheon will be November 10th. The Tuesday and Thursday Bridge Groups have started. Both groups welcome any new members. The Tuesday ladies wish to thank Audrey Prosser for replenishing our playing cards that were so badly damaged in the drainage mishap over the summer. Thanks Audrey, they are most appreciated. Sign of the times: I"ve met a girl I"d like to spend the next 4 to 7 years with. Monday Evening Curling Here"s some news from Geneviève Lemieux, President of this group: The league held its opening night on October 18, and it was a great success! We are proud to announce that we are hosting six teams this season, and even have a waiting list! Our members include a core of former business ladies, curlers transferring from other clubs, players from last year"s instructional, club members from other leagues and even Zack Wise, who couldn"t resist another evening of curling! Also, many curlers from the club volunteered to spare for us, and we want to thank them all. Well, we have been so busy recruiting and organizing the new league that the Board has come to a decision to cancel the Friendly for this year. November was coming too quickly for us. Instead, we"d like to encourage our members to participate in the upcoming club bonspiels and social activities. Bonjour à tous, La ligue du lundi a tenu sa soirée d"ouverture le 18 octobre et ce fut un grand succès! Nous sommes fiers d"annoncer que notre ligue regroupera six équipes cette année. Se sont ajoutés au noyau des business ladies des joueurs venus d"autres clubs, des gens qui reprennent le curling après quelques années de pause, des membres du club qui ont suivi l"an dernier la ligue d"instruction ou qui jouent dans d"autres ligues, et même Zack Wise qui n"a pas pu résister à une autre soirée de curling! Notez également que nous ne tiendrons pas le Friendly annoncé pour novembre : nous avons été trop occupés dans notre campagne de recrutement! Instructional League Here"s a note from Carla Dempsey We have 16 people enrolled. Starting time on Mondays is now 7:30 p.m. instead of 7:00 p.m. Two Irish nuns have just arrived in Canada by boat and one says to the other, "I hear the people of this country actually eat dogs." "Odd" her companion replies, "'but if we shall live in Canada , we might as well do as the Canadians do." As they sit, they hear a push cart vendor yell 'get your dogs here' and they both walk toward the hotdog cart. "Two dogs, please!"' says one. The vendor is very pleased to oblige, wraps both hotdogs in foil and hands them over. Excited, the nuns hurry to a bench and begin to unwrap their 'dogs'. The mother superior is first to open hers. She begins to blush and then leans to the other nun and whispers cautiously. "What part did you get?" Day Curling 40 + This Day Curling 40 + started on October 12 with eight teams competing for the $10,000 grand prize. So far there are no serious injuries to report. One of the big changes this year involves Paul Doyle After many years of consistent badgering, Paul finally has been given his own team to skip. He took over this onerous task on the condition that no second guessing was permitted. Naturally, as Paul has been a model of restraint all these years, the executive thought it only fair to agree to Paul"s request. Our first District Bonspiel will be held on Monday, November 1st. There will be draws at 9:00 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. that are allocated to Quebec and Ontario teams. The 1:30 p.m. draw will be an in house draw for teams from Montreal West. All 50+ players, men and women, from any of the leagues in our club are invited to enter a team. This is a cashspeil with prizes of $120, $80, and $60 being awarded. A lunch will be served. The $20 per player entry fee includes a ticket into the half and half draw. If you wish to enter a team, please contact James Botsford at 514-364-0260. Interclub After a summer of curling lectures from Chip Mowat, these guys were well prepared and anxious for the interclub competition to begin. On October 15 at Baie d"Urfe, we won 1, lost 1 and tied the other. The winning and tying teams were: Winners: Chester Sawczyszyn Tying team: Al Kmec Ron Neill Ray Dubrule Gerry Sabourin Rick Hughes Bob McDevitt Jacques Lacroix On October 20th at our club against Hudson-Whitlock we won 2 and lost 2. The winners were: Ray Dubrule Mike Dowd Doug Allan JIM MATCHETT (oops – not again) Chip Mowat Ed Crosbie Bob McDevitt Dave Dubeau Congratulations to our winners and the team that tied their game. The jury is still deliberating about the prospects of this year"s edition of Interclubbers. We have split all the games. 3 wins, 3 losses and 1 tie. Right now it seems to hinge on whether Bob McDevitt"s steroid test is negative or positive. This is a true story from your friendly editor of the ROAR……I was sitting with a number of members at the Club"s Opening Dinner. The Day Curlers 40+ invitation to the women to curl with them this year was being discussed. One of the women with us thought it was a good idea but….she said "I really think the men should keep one day open to play with themselves…." I forwarded the suggestion to James Botsford and his executive for consideration. Junior Curling The junior season has begun with a very strong new Little Rock membership. We should have about 15-20 Little Rocks in the program this year and all are very eager to learn the sport. With this growing number of Little Rocks also grows the need for coaches from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Saturday mornings. If you are interested in helping, please contact a member of the junior board. The Junior Board would like to thank all parents for their generous gift over the summer of a great luncheon at St.Hubert BBQ. The Board enjoyed the meal and once again THANK YOU. Should you have any questions about the junior program or wish to get involved with volunteering, please contact any of the following people: Chair Michel Jean (514-694-8494 or email@example.com) Little Rocks Mark Watson (514-488-5943 or firstname.lastname@example.com) Big Rocks Erin Ryan (514-482-7975 or email@example.com) Treasurer Janet Walpole (514-246-8099 or email@example.com) Secretary/Membership Gloria Toteda (450-462-2213 or email@example.com) She"s been married so many times she has rice marks on her face. Wilkinson Here"s a report from Ann Anderson: Hi Everyone: Well the Wilkinson Friday night league is underway. I would like to extend a warm welcome to all Wilkinson members and an especially warm welcome to those members who are new to the League: Ken Suitor Tanya de Jonge Justin Doherty Sonia Drouin Barbara Barker Ryan Hussey Dan Boucher Robert Rousse Ray Dubrule Pierre Dufour Match of the Month As of the deadline for this month"s ROAR, there has only been one week of games played in the Fall Draw. The Match of the evening was an old-fashioned family feud: Ford vs. Ford. I"d have to say things got off to a "rocky" start. Doug Ford showed up at the Club with his hockey bag. His intention was to suit up for the game. A conversation ensued and he was convinced to exchange his full equipment padding and skates for a curling broom and shoes. In spite of this, I have to tell you - Shots were fired. The skirmish was relatively even for the first few ends with each team gaining some points. Then came the 6-ender. Was that the end of the game? By no means. After Ford scored the first 6-ender, Ford responded with a 5-ender. So, who won? Ford of course! Actually, John, I guess you still have a ways to go to catch up with dear old dad. Better luck next time! Rumour has it the best part of the match was the après curling. Fellow Wilkinson members, if you have a favourite game of the week or other story you feel should be shared with our members be sure to let me know – with details of course. Or you can always send your write-up in to JIM MATCHETT (oops), our ROAR editor. I"d like to give special thanks to Jim Doyle who has agreed to do the food co-ordination for our league. Thanks as well to Zack who pebbled the ice between the draws. And thanks to everyone for their patience while I tried to figure out the teams and the draws. On another note, I"m looking for people willing to spare in the Wilkinson. If you can help out once in a while, I"d appreciate it if you could let me know. I"ll put you on the spare list. Send me an e-mail at: firstname.lastname@example.com or give me a call at 514-487-2748. Finally, see you all Friday nights at the Wilkinson. Good curling to all. Once there was a golfer named Jacques Lacroix whose drive landed on an anthill. Rather than move the ball, he decided to hit it where it lay. He gave a might swing. Clouds of dirt and sand and ants exploded from the spot---everything except the golf ball. It sat in the same spot. So he lined up and tried another shot. Clouds of dirt and sand and ants went flying again. The golf ball didn"t even wiggle. Two ants survived. One dazed ant said "Whoa! What are we going to do?" "I don"t know about you, but I"m going to get on that ball." House and Entertainment Here is a report from Sandra Arseneault: Opening Dinner: A special thank you to everyone who attended the Opening Dinner held on October 7th. The delicious meal was prepared by Tony our reliable caterer. The ambiance was apparent with good food, good music, good humour and good friends. Every event has a list of people who are willing to donate some of their precious time to assist in putting together such events. I send my heartfelt thanks to: The Board of Directors - for guiding a beginner in this task Anne Mitchell - who wore many "hats" Audrey Prosser - our efficient volunteer collections "officer" Tina Athanasopoulos - for helping me begin my setup of files and filling in the tidbits of information that is usually not found in most paper files. Zack Wise - for providing your energy to our dismantling crew. Kari Parm - at the bar. Jean Arseneault - whom, after hearing my illiterate electronic and music related questions, stepped up to bat and became Mr. Music Man. Ann Anderson, Susan Leger-Hussey, and Heather Boyle for their extraordinary support. Now What about Future Events? I would like to begin with the results of the Entertainment Survey sent out to our membership last month. Feedback has definitely been on the positive side. The following list begins with the MOST popular event: 1. Mystery Night 2. Family Spaghetti Night 3. Comedy Night 4. Country Western Night 5. Halloween Night 6. Card Night 7. NY Eve Night Presently, we have dates scheduled for the Mystery, Family Spaghetti, Comedy and Country Western nights. Details for these evenings are being finalized. The first of the events to occur will be the Comedy Night, Saturday November 20th. A signup sheet has been posted in the lounge. I encourage you to bring friends. Please refer to the flyer at the end of this ROAR for further information. A man is examined by his doctor. The doctor says, "Take this green pill with a glass of water when you get up. Take this blue pill with a glass of water after lunch. Then, just before you go to bed, take this red pill with another glass of water." "Exactly what is the matter with me?" asked the patient. "You"re not drinking enough water." The MWCC Silent Auction returns! This popular event, successfully held three previous times in the past, is scheduled to return on December 4th for the pleasure and benefit of both Club members and the local community at large. Proven to be one of the Club's most effective fundraising activities, the success of the Silent Auction depends upon its selection of interesting and original items, donated by Club members. With everyone's help, we can once again make the Silent Auction a MWCC flagship fundraising event which the local community will enjoy as a treasure-trove of unique Holiday gift-giving ideas! WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU, OUR MEMBERS: Auction items such as: * NEW ITEMS * ANTIQUES OR VINTAGE ITEMS * HANDCRAFTED ITEMS (Such as wood carvings, stained glass, knit sweaters, etc.) * A SERVICE YOU CAN OFFER (Such as cooking a meal, bridge lessons, a computer lesson) * DONATIONS FROM FRIENDS OR LOCAL MERCHANTS (Such as gift certificates, dinners-for-two, week-end get-away) * TICKETS TO EVENTS * DONATIONS (cash or otherwise) FOR GIFT BASKETS WHAT WE DON'T NEED: GARAGE SALE ITEMS OR BAKED GOODS Please call or e-mail: Cathy Hughes 514-366-4584 or firstname.lastname@example.com Carpet Bowling Here"s a report from Mary O"Toole: First of all my apologies to Irene Darrell whose last name was incorrect in the October Roar. Carpet Bowlers opened their season on October 12th and it was great seeing everyone again after catching our breath with the climb to the top floor. However we all made it. During the coffee break Margaret Finlayson reviewed the rules for carpet bowling. She also showed everyone the flyer announcing the Silent Auction which will be held on December 4th and encouraged everyone to participate in the Club"s fund raiser. Laura Ross, our Treasurer, announced the fees for the season and presented her report the following week. Mary and Al Gagnon were missed at our opening game. Our best wishes Al for a speedy recovery. A reminder if anyone knows someone who would like to have fun on Tuesday and Thursday, please pass our invitation to them to join us. Good bowling everyone. Turkey Shoot It"s not too early to start thinking about the Turkey Shoot. The date has been tentatively set for December 22. Ed Jones and his assistant Bill Bedord will be running it again this year and right they now are fattening up the turkeys. More about this in the December ROAR. There are 3 kinds of people in the world - those that can count and those that can"t. . So here we go. Our first Letters to the Editor column: Visit from Alberta We would like to take this opportunity to pass along our appreciation for the hospitality shown by many members of the Montreal West Curling club on our recent visit to the club. We were members of MWCC in 2000 and 2001, and these were 2 of the best years in our curling lives. During the first week of October we paid a quick visit to Montreal and stopped by the club. We met with the day ladies and with members taking part in the President's bonspiel. We saw many familiar faces and many new ones. It was a pleasure to visit with so many friends from our short time with the club. From all appearances, it looks like the same Montreal West where we enjoyed many fun times. We are planning another visit to the Montreal area in the fall of 2011 and we look forward to seeing many more on the next trip. We hope that all the members enjoy the club as much as we have. Best regards Bob and Jean Green Carstairs, Alberta Smiles It is so nice now to walk by the club"s office and see the smiling faces of the ladies at work in there. From a number of members in the club Greetings Hi Jim, I'm back home but it's nice to hear (read) what's happening at place I like and where I spent pretty long time. So you can continue to send me the ROAR. Wish you nice curling season and hello to all. Take care, Kate (Katerina Urbanova) Editor"s note: Kate has moved back home to the Czech Republic after curling in the ladder last year. I had asked her if she wanted to continue receiving the ROAR. Remember, when you want to ask questions, make suggestions, volunteer your services to help the club, or maybe even send a thank you for something you may like in the club, just send an Email to your friendly editor. Also, please remember I would like these Letters to the Editor to be a positive thing. My Email address is email@example.com What's happening Over the Next Few Weeks? Dates to remember: November 1 - + 40 District Bonspiel 2,4,9 and 11 - Skins Competition 10 - Day Ladies" Bridge Luncheon 15 - Deadline for payment of curling fees 18 - Day Ladies" Ted Thompson competition 20 - Comedy Night 27 - Grand and Grande Dame December 4 - Silent Auction An 86 year old man walked into a crowded doctor's office. As he approached the desk, the receptionist said, "Yes sir. Why do you want to see the doctor today?" "There's something wrong with my penis," he replied. The snotty receptionist became irritated and said, "You shouldn't come into a crowded office and say things like that." "Why not? You asked me what was wrong and I told you," he said. The receptionist replied, "You've obviously caused some embarrassment in this room full of people. You should have said there is something wrong with your ear or something like that and then discussed the problem further with the doctor in private." The man walked out, waited several minutes and then re-entered. The receptionist smiled smugly and asked, "Yes?" "It"s about my ear," he stated. The receptionist nodded approvingly and smiled, knowing he had taken her advice. "And what is wrong with your ear, sir?" "I can't pee out of it," the man replied. The doctor's office erupted in laughter. Encan Silencieux Silent Auction 2010 Club de Curling de Montréal-Ouest Montreal West Curling Club CADEAUX EN GIFTS ABONDANCE! GALORE!

Watch the Day Break Over the Boneyard
Cape Romain is closed from dusk to dawn, and no camping is allowed on refuge islands. This means that very few people get the opportunity to witness the sunrise on the Boneyard Beach of Bulls Island. Having seen it ourselves, we know that this is a rare and special moment, standing on a pristine shoreline within a National Wildlife Refuge.
We've timed this tour with a low tide a sunrise so that you have all of Boneyard Beach to photograph as the sun peaks over the horizon. This tour often books out early, so make your reservation as soon as you find the date that suits your schedule!
This photography adventure is suitable for amateurs and professionals. It is a guide and client favorite (and we don't offer it often).
But don't take our word on it...see for yourself.

Yeah, but I went with the classic theme. Not an extended version, not a new version, just the same version you hear at the beginning of every (pre-cancellation) episode.
Besides, the whole point of the autoplay-loop-tiny combo was to annoy people with a repetitive song. People probably won't stay on my page long enough for the song to repeat, so a short song is much more annoying.

How fast??
I got the "old" Mighty Mouse, and I don't think it's so fast. When you move it, it doesn't react that fast and that's a problem for me 'cause i like to draw a lot. So I was wondering if it's a bit faster, when it comes to reaction (even if it's wireless).
... ??? ...

Reaction time for the magic mouse is very fast. I cannot see any delay. However, the delay might exist if the mouse is further away from the computer than just on the desk in front of it.

The reaction time for any mouse connected to a Macintosh computer can be adjusted using System Preferences.

APPARATUS FOR BURNING FLUID COMBUSTIBLE MIXTURES I, Filed Sept. 16, 1954 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 'INVEN TOR: [mugs J. 515L360.
APPARATUS FOR BURNEN G FLUID COM- BUSTIBLE MIXTURES Charles J. Staiego, Newark, Ohio, assignor to Owens Corning Fiberglas Corporation, a corporation of Bela ware Application September 16, 1954, Serial No. 456,540
1 Claim. (Cl. 158-=-99) This invention relates to method and apparatus for burning combustible mixtures and more especially to burners of the radiant type and method of burning combustible mixtures especially usable in furnaces for'melting materials having high fusing temperatures such as glass, slag or fusible rock and for maintaining materials of this character in molten or flowable condition.
Radiant burners have been used with furnaces or melting tanks especially for melting mineral materials and for maintaining them in molten condition, and such radiant burners as have been heretofore employed for the purpose have been fashioned or equipped with a cap, the fuel mixture being discharged from orifices above the cap in directions resulting in the burning gases moving in involute paths. In maintaining glass, slag or fusible rock at high temperatures in molten condition, volatiles from the molten glass or other material are given off and, under certain conditions, are deposited upon adjacent surfaces of the burner construction. For example, such volatiles from the glass or other molten material are entrained in the moving, burning gases or products of combustion and are deposited upon the burner cap, resulting in deterioration, disintegration or washing away of the cap. Fluxes, such as boric oxide and other metal oxides, contained in the deposit of volatiles on the refractory burner cap cause the refractory to disintegrate or wash away very rapidly, necessitating shutting down the furnace or tank in order to replace and rebuild the damaged burner.
' In prior constructions of radiant burner, the fuel-andair mixture has been delivered into a combustion zone through substantially horizontal, radially spaced tubular passages formed in a cap member, burning of the mixture ensuing in a manner wherein the products of combustion move in a path of involution of a character and under conditions fostering continuous deposition of the glass volatiles on the cap; and within a comparatively short time the refractory cap is washed away. Burners of the character used heretofore have comparatively short life, necessitating frequent shut-downs in order to repair or replace the burner constructions. As a furnace or tank normally is maintained at very high temperatures of 2800 F., or more, an extended period of time is required for a furnace or tank to become cooled so that repairs or replacements can be effected.
The present invention embraces the provision of a radiant burner construction of a character wherein the fuel-and-air mixture is delivered into a combustion zone in a manner wherein disintegration and deterioration of the burner construction are substantially eliminated or reduced to a minimum.
An object of the invention embraces a method of delivering fuel and air into a combustion zone in a receptacle containing molten glass or other mineral material in a manner wherein'a high combustion efiiciency is attained and the movements of burning gases and products of combustion in the combustion zone are controlled and directed in paths substantially eliminating 2,935,127 Fatented May 3, 1960 ICC a radiant-type burner construction, especially for use in heating glass or other mineral material, wherein fuel and air are delivered into a combustion chamber in an annular zone in conjunction with means for modifying or obstructing to a substantial degree a path of involution of products of combustion whereby combustion efficiency is improved and deposition of volatiles from the molten glass or mineral material upon the burner is substantially eliminated.
Another object of the invention is the provision of a combustion apparatus wherein the fuel and air are introduced into a combustion zone through concentric cylinders in such a manner that the burning gases and products of combustion are initially projected along the surface of the combustion zone and an involutional path of travel of the gases is modified to secure improved combustion with a minimum of wear or disintegration of the refractory surfaces of the combustion zone and components of the combustion apparatus.
Another object of the invention is the provision of a radiant burner construction wherein fuel and air are delivered in an annular pattern into a generally spherically shaped combustion zone or chamber and wherein the burner may be provided with valve means to control independent flow of air to the combustion zone whereby the burner construction may be used effectively for heat ing mineral materials in tanks or furnaces which may be maintained under either negative or positive pressure,
the arrangement facilitating the control of paths of involution of the products of combustion.
Another object is the provision of combustion apparatus embodying deflectors or vanes for controlling movement of burning gases and products of combustion whereby improved combustion efiiciency is obtained.
Further objects and advantages are within the scope of this invention such as relate to the arrangement, operation and function of the related elements of the structure, to various details of construction and to combinations of parts, elements per se, and to economies of manufacture and numerous other features as will be apparent from a consideration of the specification and drawing of a form of the invention, which may be pre ferred, in which:
Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view through a portion of a melting tank or furnace for high-temperature fusing materials illustrating a form of burner construction of the invention;
Figure 2 is a transverse sectional view taken substantially on the line 22 of Figure 1;
Figure 3 is a fragmentary sectional view showing a modified form of mixture delivery means for a burner of the type shown in Figure 1;
Figure 4 is a fragmentary sectional View taken substantially on the line 4-4 of Figure 3;
Figure 5 is a fragmentary view taken in the direction of the line 5-5 of Figure 3;
Figure 6 is a view similar to Figure 3, illustrating a modified form of the end zone of the burner;
Figure 7 is a fragmentary sectional view taken substanmodified form of burner construction of the invention;
Figure is a horizontal sectional view taken substantially on the line 10-40 of Figure 9, and s Figure 11 is a fragmentary sectional view illustrating a modified'form of the construction shown in Figure 9. While the forms of burner construction illustrated in the drawings and the method of combustion are particularly adapted for use in heating furnaces utilized for melting glass batch, slag, and fusible rock, or for maintaining such mineral materials in molten condition in a tank, forehearth or other receptacle, it is he understood that the method and apparatus of the invention may be utilized for heating other materials or wherever radi- 'ant heaters and radiant heating may be utilized to advantage.
Referring to the drawings in detail, there is illustrated in Figure 1 a form of radiant-type burner of the invention arranged in the roof or upper wall of a furnace, tank, receptacle or forehearth adapted to contain molten glass, slag or fusible rock in molten condition, wherein the radiant heat from one or more of such burners serves to maintain material in molten condition or to reduce glass batch or solid material to a molten state. There is shown in Figure 1 a portion of a tank or receptacle 10 having a roof or upper wall formed of members or blocks 12 of refractory material.
Assembled with members 12 is a roof or upper wall section 14 formed of suitable high-temperature refractory and provided with a curved, cup-like or spherically shaped surface 16 which is disposed above the molten material in the tank or furnace 10. The curvature or configuration of the surface 16 is such as to obtain a high efficiency of reflection and radiation of heat from the intensely hot refractory adjacent the burner or burners. The section or block 14 is preferably of square contour to facilitate assembly with the refractory blocks 12.
Disposed above the member or roof section 14 is a tile or block 20 of heat-resistant material and hollow configuration adapted to receive and accommodate a burner-supporting member, holder or sleeve 22 formed of metal and of generally cylindrical shape. The upper end of sleeve 22 is formed with a flange portion 24 which mates with a flange portion 25 of a member 27, the member 27 being shaped to provide an air chamber 29 and a fuel chamber 30. The flanges 24- and 25 are secured together by means of bolts 26. A layer 28 of hightemperature-resistant cement secures the tile 20 to the member 14, and a removable packing or sealing material 31 is disposed between the upper portions of the tile 20 and metal sleeve 22.
The fuel chamber is separated from the air chamber 29 by a partition 32. The chamber 30 is of annular shape, the inner wall 34 of the chamber 30 providing a space or chamber 36 which is in communication with the air chamber 29. The upper zone of member 27 is provided with a boss portion 38 which accommodates a cover plate or closure 40 held in place by means of bolts 42.
Secured to a wall of member 27 above the partition 32 is a fitting 45 having a flange 46 secured to member 27 by means of bolts 47. A pipe or tube 48 is connected with the fitting '45 and is adapted to convey fuel gas from a supply (not shown) to the chamber 30 through an opening 50 in the chamber Wall in registration with the tube 48.
The wall of chamber 29 below the partition '32. is formed with an opening 52 which is in registration with a tube or pipe '54 for conveying air from a supply of air under pressure into the chamber 29. The tube 54 is connected to member 27 by means of a fitting 56 formed with a flange 57 secured to member 27 by means of bolts 58. In the arrangement shown in Figure 1, the partition 32 in member 27 serves to separate the air in chamber 29 from the fuel in chamber 30. The tubes or pipes 48 and 54 may be provided with control. valves (not shown) for regulating the fuel gas and air supplied to the burner.
The member 14 above the material-containing tank or receptacle is formed with a cylindrical space or chamber defined by a cylindrical wall 60 which accommodates the burner construction. The roof member 41 may be formed with a spherically shaped surface defining a cuplike recess above the material in the tank 10.
Disposed in the passage defined by Wall 60 is a burner tip construction which includes concentrically arranged, cylindrical members or sleeves 65, 66 and 67. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the walls 65 and 66 define an annular passage 69 for conveying compressed air from chamber 29 into the combustion zone 70 formed by the cup-like recess defined by the curved wall 16 in member 14. The cylindrical members 66 and 67 define an annular passage 72 for conveying fuel gas from chamber 30 into the combustion zone 70. The passage defined by wall 60 is slightly larger in diameter than the sleeve 67 to accommodate expansion of the burner sleeve at high temperatures.
The sleeve-like member 22 is provided at its lower extremity with an inwardly extending flange 74-. Disposed in the interior of the sleeve 22 and supported by said flange is a member 76 providing a supporting means for the members or sleeves 65, 66 and 67. The members 65, 66 and 67 may be formed of sheet metal or the like, capable of withstanding high temperatures, the sleeves being welded or otherwise secured to and supported by member 76.
The partition 32 is formed with a thickened portion 30 formed with a plurality of cylindrical openings adapted to receive the upper end zones of tubes 82 as shown in Figure 1. As shown in Figure l, the tubes 32 do not extend through the thickened portion 30, but the portion is formed with openings or passages 84 in registration with tubes 82, providing for the flow of fuel gas from chamber 30 into the tubes 82.
The member 76 is formed with a plurality of cylindrical openings or recesses to accommodate the lower end zones of tubes 82 whereby fuel gas is delivered through tubes 82 into the annular passage or chamber 72 for discharge or delivery into the combustion zone 70. The annular member 76 is also provided with a plurality of openings 86 to provide for flow of air under pressure from chamber 29 through the interior of sleeve 22 into the annular passage 69 for discharge into the combustion zone 79. Through the use of separate air and fuel chambers 2? and 30, tubes 82 and annular, sleeve-like members 65, 66 and 67, the fuel gas and air are discharged or delivered in contiguous streams into the zone 70 wherein combustion takes place. As shown in Figure 1, the lower end zones of the sleeves or walls 65 and 66 are flared outwardly, as indicated at 88, to direct the air in an annular and radially projected path generally coincident with the surface 16 of the combustion zone 76 and is mixed with the fuel gas stream, providing a combustible mixture adjacent to and in contact with surface 16.
Ignition of the mixture is initiated at the discharge zones 88 adjacent the extremities of the sleeves, and the mixture burns as it travels along the curved surface 16 of the member 14. By reason of the pressure of the gases entering the combustion zone along the surface 16 and the expansion of the burning gases, some of the burning gases and products of combustion move toward the central axis of the burner in involute paths as indicated by the arrows in Figure 1. As hereinafter described, the apparatus is inclusive of a method and means of modifying or changing the involute paths of traverse of the burning and burned gases to avoid or minimize the deposition of volatiles from the molten material upon the burner surfaces and improve combustion efliciency.
The burner construction illustrated in Figure 1 may be provided with means disposed adjacent the discharge or delivery zones of the annular chambers 69 and '72 to facilitate discharge or delivery of air and fuel gas intothe combustion zone 70 a plurality of jets or streams. One form of apparatus for accomplishing this purpose is illustrated in detail in Figures 3, 4 and 5. Disposed between walls 65 and 66 adajacent the lower ends thereof and circumferentially spaced in the air passage 69 is a plurality of radially arranged partitions 90 forming a plurality of discharge openings or orifices 92 of substantially rectangular configuration through which air under pressure is delivered into the combustion zone 70 in a plurality of streams arranged in an annular path and directed radially of the axis of the burner by reason of the curved zones 88 fashioned at the lower ends of sleeves 65 and 66.
Disposed between walls 66 and 67 is a plurality of circumferentially spaced, radially arranged partitions 96 forming with the walls small passages or orifices 98 through which fuel gas in the annular passage 72 is delivered or discharged into the combustion zone 70 at the juncture of the cylindrical wall 60 with the spherically shaped wall 16 of the combustion zone and into the air streams discharged through orifices 92 hereinbefore described. Ignition and combustion of the fuel-and-air mixture takes place adjacent the discharge zones provided by orifices 92 and 98. 1
Due to the pressure of the incoming fuel and air streams, a lower pressure exists adjacent the central axis of combustion zone 70, and the pressure differential causes some of the burning gases and products of combustion to travel in a path of involution, indicated by the arrows in Figure 1, at the central area of the combustion done 70. When the burner arrangement of the invention is utilized for melting glass or maintaining glass in a molten state, volatiles or gases are given off by or emanate from the body of glass which become mixed with the burning gases in the zone 70 and, to a major degree, are entrained or carried by the burning gases and products of combustion in involute paths in the combustion zone 70.
It has been found that combustion and flame propagation in the combustible mixture in zone 70 are improved through the use of an abutment, deflector or vane to interrupt or modify the otherwise normal path of involution of the burning gases in the combustion zone and that the abutment or similar means eliminates or greatly minimizes the tendency for the glass volatiles to be deposited upon the lower zones or surfaces of the burner components. One form of vane or deflector 102 is illustrated in Figure 1. The vane 102 is of annular shape and is secured to the inner wall of sleeve 65 and projects generally downwardly and toward the vertical axis of combustion zone 7 0.
The vane 102 may be projected downwardly at different distances, depending on the amount of change or modification desired in the path of involution of the burning gases and products of combustion, and its zone of termination if substantially aligned with or just below the end of sleeve 65 serves to satisfactorily interrupt or modify the involutional path of the gases for the purposes mentioned. The vane 102 tends to obstruct the normal flow of the boundary layers of products of combustion and burning gases moving in an otherwise involute path so that an increase in pressure is established adjacent the vane 102 which tends to reduce the speed of involution of the gases and further minimize the tendency of the glass volatiles to be deposited on the sleeve 65 of the burner construction.
Figures 6 and 7 illustrate a modified form of the air and fuel discharge orifice construction at the tip of the burner construction. Disposed between the walls 65' and wall 66 is a plurality of radially arranged, circumferen tially spaced vanes or partitions 90' providing rectangularly shaped air discharge orifices 92'. Disposed between the walls 66 and 67' at the lower ends thereof is an annular member or plate 110 provided with a plurality of spaced circular openings 112 forming orifices through which fuel from chamber 72 is discharged into the combustion zone 70. The openings 112 in the member or strip 110 provide for a large number of streams or jets of fuel gas directed into the streams of air discharged through the passages 92' forming a substantially homogeneous fuel-and-air mixture adapted to be burned in the zone '70. The discharge of air and fuel into a common zone through a plurality of spaced orifices provides a satisfactory and uniform mixing of the fuel gas and air, enhancing the efiiciency of combustion.
The combustion of the fuel-and-air mixture takes place along the spherically shaped surface 16, and the said surface becomes intensely hot and reflects and radiates heat onto the material in the tank or furnace 10. The roof or upper wall of the melting tank or receptacle 10 may be provided with one or more vents or comparatively small passages (not shown) for the escape or exhaust of products of combustion from the zone 70. In installations where the tank or furnace is maintained under a pressure above atmospheric pressure, the tank or furnace may be vented through the central zone of the burner. As shown in Figure l, a tube 104 may be joined with a cone-shaped portion 105 of the innermost sleeve or wall 65, providing a vent to the atmosphere through which products of combustion may be discharged from the zone 70. By venting the chamber or zone 70 through the central axis of the burner construction, the movement of burned gases upwardly through the chamber 100 into the vent tube 104 causes further interruption of the path of involution of the burning gases and products of combustion.
Ifthe tank or furnace 10 is maintained under a subatmospheric pressure, a valve means 108, shown in broken lines in Figure 1, may be employed, the position of which may be regulated or controlled by means (not shown) extending exteriorly of the burner construction for determining the rate of admission of air from the atmosphere through the tube 104 into the chamber 100 and the combustion zone 70. The position of the valve 108 may be adjusted to control the admission of air to the combustion zone, and the air flow into this zone is effective to further modify or change the path of involution of the burning gases and products of combustion.
Figure 8 illustrates a modified form of orifice construction for the discharge or delivery of fuel gas and air from the burner. figure is similar to that illustrated in Figure 7. Radially arranged partitions 90a are disposed between walls 65a and 66a, forming rectangularly shaped air discharge orifices 92a. The band or strip 110a disposed between walls 66a and 67a is formed with elongated or oval-shaped openings 124 through which fuel gas is discharged to be admixed with the air from the orifices 92a in the combustion zone adjacent the burner.
Figures 9 and 10 are illustrative of a modified form of burner construction wherein gaseous fuel and air mixture is conveyed through a plurality of metal tubes into the combustion zone 70. Disposed in a central opening or chamber formed in the roof member 14' of the tank or furnace 10 is a plurality of tubes arranged in an annular pattern. A fitting or member 132 disposed within the sleeve 22 is formed with a laterally projecting flange portion 134 engageable with the inwardly extending flange 74 on the sleeve or fitting 22, the fitting 132 supporting the assembly of mixture conveying tubes 130. The fitting 132 is provided with a plurality of openings arranged in a circular formation adapted to receive the upper end zones of the tubes 130, the latter being welded or otherwise secured to the fitting 132.
The walls of member 14 are provided with a series of flutes or semicylindrical recesses 136, a flute or recess being provided to accommodate each of tubes 130, providing an arrangement whereby the hot products of combustion from the zone 70 may surround the mixture conveying tubes 130 for preheating the mixture prior to its delivery into the combustion zone'70. Fitted with- The arrangement shown in this 7 in the space defined by the tubes 13b is a frusto-conically shaped sleeve or member 140 provided with a curved or arched Wall 142 at its upper end zone which closes the end of the sleeve 140 and forms the lower wall of a gas and air mixing chamber 144 defined by the sleeve 22.
The tips or lower end zones of the tubes 130 are bent or turned outwardly or radially of the vertical axis of the burner as shown at 146 in Figure 10. The chamber 144 is supplied with fuel gas and air under pressure from suitable sources of supply, providing a gas-and-air mixture within the chamber 144, the mixture being conveyed downwardly by the tubes 130 and discharged or delivered through the orifices 148 in the outwardly extending extremities 146 of the tubes 130.
An annular deflector or vane 1&9, formed of high-temperature-resistant metal alloy or other suitable material capable of withstanding the intense heat existent in the combustion zone 7G, is disposed within the assembly of tubes as shown in Figure 9. The deflector 149 may be shaped in the manner shown in Figure 9, having its interior wall portion extending toward the vertical axis of the burner, providing an impediment or means arranged to change or modify the normal path of involution of the burning gases and products of combustion in the zone 70 and increase efficiency of combustion.
The fuel-and-air mixtures discharged from the orifices 148 at the extremities of tubes 136 are ignited and combustion takes place along the curved surface 16, a portion of the burning mixture moving in the path of involution as indicated by the arrows in Figure 9. By interrupting or modifying the normal path of involution, efliciency of combustion and flame propagation in the central area of the zone 70 is improved; and by reason of the delivery of fuel-and-air mixtures in an annular pattern within the cup-like recess or combustion zone 70, burning of the mixture takes place throughout substantially the entire area of the combustion zone 70 whereby the fuel is more completely burned than has been heretofore possible with other types of radiant burners.
The semicylindrical recesses 136, formed in the roof member or block 14 adjacent burner tubes 130, provide zones occupied by the hot products of combustion whereby the latter, being in contact with the mixture-conveying tubes 130 throughout substantially their entire length, preheat the mixture in the tubes, thereby fostering an increased rate of flame propagation. As the lower extremities of the tubes 130 and the vane or deflector 149 are at comparatively high temperatures, there will be little tendency for the deposition of glass volatiles upon these elements of the burner construction.
Figure 11 illustrates a modified form of vane construction for use with the arrangement shown in Figures 9 and 10. In this form, a vane 155 in the form of an annulus is disposed adjacent the lower extremities of the mixture-conveying tubes 130. The vane 155 is spaced from the tubes 131') to provide an annular passage 157 between the tubes and the vane 155. The vane 155 may be supported by means of circumferentially spaced fingers 159 welded or otherwise secured to the tubes 13!).
Each of the tubes 13% has a discharge orifice 148' contiguous to the wall 52' of the refractory block 14 whereby the mixture being ignited at its point of discharge from the orifices 148 flows along the surface 62' before substantial movement of involution of the gases takes place as hereinbefore described. The vane 155 interrupts or modifies the normal path of involution of the gases to minimize deposition of volatiles upon the mixture-conveying tubes.
A Wall of each of the tubes 1341 may be formed with a supplemental orifice or bleed opening 161? adajcent the vane 155 as shown in Figure 11. The lower edge 162 of the vane terminates adjacent but above the mixture discharge orifice or zone of each of the tubes 130'.
s 8 Through this arrangement a minor portion of the mixture being conveyed to .the combustion zone through tubes fiows or is delievered through the auxiliary orifices or bleed openings 160 into the passage or space 157, thence downwardly into the combustion zone 70.
In the downward flow of the mixture in the annular space orchamber 157, the gases contact the zones of the tubes adjacent the vane and serve to wipe ofl any deposit of volatiles on the tube portions adjacent the vane 155. Thus, the incoming, unburned mixture moving through passage 157 is free of glass volatiles and provides an intermediary layer of gases between the lower walls of tubes 130 and the products of combustion moving in generally involute paths in which glass volatiles may be entrained. Thus, in this form of the invention the vane 155 serves to modify the path of movement of the burning gases and to minimize or eradicate deposits of volatiles on the burner construction.
The use of the apparatus of the several forms of the invention involves a novel method of burning a combustible mixture in a zone above or adjacent material to be maintained at high temperatures. Through the arrangement of delivering or discharging gaseous fuel and air or other oxidant for supporting combustion into a combustion zone in an annular discharge area or pattern, combustion takes place at a high elficiency not only along the curved surface or surfaces of the cup-shaped recess defining the zone 7 0 but also through the gases moving toward the vertical axis of the combustion zone. Through the step of modifying or changing the normal path of involution of gases moving toward the central axis of the combustion zone, the tendency for glass volatiles, or volatiles from other material being heated by the burner or a series of burners, to be deposited on the components or elements of the burner constructions is greatly minimized or substantially eliminated.
When the fuel gas and air are separately conveyed to the combustion zone, the fuel gas may be under pressure upwards of 30 pounds per squareinch and the air may be under pressures exceeding 30 pounds per square inch, if desired. In utilizing the burner constructions with premixed fuel gas and air, the pressures should be relatively low. For example, it is preferable that the fuel gas be delivered to a premixing chamber or zone 144 at pressures from 10 to 15 pounds per square inch and air pressures of from 1 to 7 pounds per square inch.
It is apparent that, within the scope of the invention, modifications and different arrangements may be made other than is herein disclosed, and the present disclosure is merely illustrative.

Where we are
Located in the prepirenaica of the Sierra de Guara straddling the mountain and plain and where their way the impressive river canyons and Mascun Alcanadre arises Rodellar. Enclave on the rock that understand, speak and hear the language of stones and water, was in antiquity a place of great importance and communications link between the highland villages abandoned and whose past still remains written in their ancient stone and religious temples
Rodellar is a village of 30 inhabitants belonging to the municipality of Bierge, situated 765 meters above sea level, resting gently on a small hillside on the south side of the Sierra de Guara basins dominate the majestic rivers and Mascún Alcanadre. This part of the mountain is characterized unlike the north side for its Mediterranean climate with rainy springs and autumns, hot dry summers and cold winters with frost and snow included.
The physical environment is characterized by a karst limestone relief resulting monoliths and spiers of great beauty with rich vegetation of oaks, oaks, pines, boxwood and flora that make the landscape the ideal medium for integrated wildlife habitat by wild boars, Rabosas, raptors and other living beings as many smaller fish, reptiles and insects. With the passing years and Mascún Alcanadre rivers have shaped the landscape, opening the gullies and eroding the limestone, very soluble, which is filtered rain water creating beautiful shapes and silhouettes and exquisite rock sources natural
In the Valley of Rodellar still remain the human that were once vital to the local people. Means they got from their own natural resources that had more abundant valley excluding agriculture and livestock. Stone, wood, water, hunting and fishing goods squeezed to get the most use. Clear examples of these resources are the stones with which they made houses, temples, bridges and roads, wood like boxwood with which manufactured objects and tools use different wood, pine beams serving as roofs, oak for firewood to combat the cold winter ...
