Trees sprout across farmland worldwide
(08/26/2009) Half the planet's farmed landscapes have significant tree cover, reports a new satellite-based study. The research, conducted by the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research's World Agroforestry Centre found that tree cover exceeds 10 percent on more than 1 billion hectares of farmland, indicating that agroforestry is a "vital part" of worldwide agricultural production. 320 million hectares of forested agricultural land are found in Latin America, 190 million hectares in sub-Saharan Africa and 130 million hectares in Southeast Asia.
Unique acacia tree could play vital role in turning around Africa's food crisis
(08/24/2009) Scientists have discovered that an acacia tree, long used by farmers in parts of Africa, could dramatically raise food yields in Africa. The acacia tree Faidherbia albida, also known as Mgunga in Swahili, possesses the unique ability to provide much-needed nitrogen to soil.
Environmental disappointments under Obama
(08/24/2009) While the President has been bogged down for the last couple months in an increasingly histrionic health-care debate-which has devolved so far into ridiculousness that one doesn't know whether to laugh or cry-environmental decisions, mostly from the President's appointees have still been coming fast and furious. However, while the administration started out pouring sunshine on the environment (after years of obfuscated drudgery under the Bush administration), they soon began to move away from truly progressive decisions on the environment and into the recognizable territory of playing it safe-and sometimes even stupid.
Pesticide use linked to dying frogs in California
(08/13/2009) Pesticides used by farmers in California's Central Valley could be killing frogs in the Sierra mountains, report researchers.
Brazilian beef giant announces moratorium on rainforest beef
(08/13/2009) Brazil's second-largest beef exporter, Bertin, announced it would establish a moratorium on buying cattle from farms involved in Amazon deforestation, reports Greenpeace. The move comes after the World Bank's International Finance Corporation (IFC) withdrew a $90 million loan to Bertin following revelations in a Greenpeace report that the company was buying beef produced on illegally deforested lands. The report, which linked some of the world's most prominent brands to rainforest destruction in the Amazon, had an immediate impact, triggering a cascade of events.
Northern India's water is vanishing due to agriculture, human consumption
(08/12/2009) It's a disaster in the making: a new study by NASA and UC Irvine has found that the groundwater beneath northern India has been vanishing at a rate of a foot per year during the last decade. In total 109 cubic kilometers (26 cubic miles) has been lost in six years time—three times the size of Lake Mead in the United States.
Farmers have poor understanding of role of wildlife in protecting crops
(08/10/2009) Environmental conservation depends, to a large degree, on public acceptance. Understanding people's opinions on ecosystems and wildlife can be very helpful in designing programs that aim to benefit both the environment and society. A new study, published in Tropical Conservation Science, interviewed organic shade-coffee farmers in Cuetzalan, Mexico, to understand how they perceive the wild animals that live in their fields, as well as their knowledge of the ecological roles these species play in maintaining ecosystem services.
Monsanto GM Corn a Disaster in South Africa
(07/31/2009) Three different varieties of genetically modified (GM) corn provided by the Monsanto Corporation to farmers in South Africa have been reported to be failing to seed. The company claims that "less than 25 percent" of the seeds were susceptible to the problem, and that the crop failure was caused by "underfertilization processes in the laboratory."
Brazilian soy industry extends moratorium on Amazon deforestation
(07/28/2009) The Brazilian soy industry has agreed to extend a moratorium on soy production in newly deforested areas in the Amazon rainforest, reports Greenpeace. The moratorium has been in place since 2006.
Smart biofuels that don't hurt people or the environment are possible
(07/16/2009) Sustainable biofuels can be a reality but only in combination with reductions in fuel demand and increased productivity on existing agricultural lands, argue researchers writing in the journal Science. Five years ago biofuels were seen as a panacea for the world's energy hunger and the need to address climate change, but increased production of biofuels soon contributed to a clutch of problems, including competition with food, resulting in rising prices, and large-scale conversion of rainforests and tropical grasslands for feedstocks, resulting in biodiversity loss and increased greenhouse gas emissions. Environmentalists and scientists condemned many biofuels — including ethanol produced from Midwestern corn ethanol and biodiesel generated from European rapeseed and Southeast Asian palm oil — as a short-sighted energy solution. Some biofuels were found to be even worse for the environment, and more costly, than conventional gasoline. However some researchers remain optimistic that smart biofuel production could help meet energy demand without hurting people or the planet. In a Science Policy Forum piece, David Tilman and colleagues explore some of these options, noting that biofuels can be produced in substantial quantities at low environmental cost
Meeting food and energy demands by mid-century will be a challenge, says report
(06/25/2009) Meeting food and energy demands in a world where human population is expected to reach 9 billion by mid-century will require a range of approaches that increase the sustainability of agricultural production, reports a new assessment from Deutsche Bank's Climate Change Advisors (DBCCA).
Massive deforestation in the past decreased rainfall in Asia
(06/25/2009) Between 1700 and 1850 forest cover in India and China plummeted, falling from 40-50 percent of land area to 5-10 percent. Forests were cut for agricultural use across Southeast Asia to feed a growing population, but the changes from forests to crops had unforeseen consequences. A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences links this deforestation across Southeast Asia with changes in the Asian Monsoon, including significantly decreased rainfall.
The living dead - Australia's disappearing landscape
(06/24/2009) Gum trees dot the hills and valleys of south-eastern Australia, a vivid fixture of the rolling landscape. But despite the seeming health of these iconic trees, they have earned the morbid nickname "the living dead" among ecologists, who say natural changes and human actions are threatening the next generation of gum trees. The gum trees that are scattered through the landscape are naturally dying off at a rate of one to two percent each year. With no replacement, researchers fear more than 100,000 square kilometers of land could be virtually treeless within the next 100 years.
Despite violent protests and coup, Daewoo continues to hold cropland in Madagascar
(06/19/2009) Despite violent protests that have left more than 100 dead and led to the ouster of a democratically-elected president, Daewoo Logistics Corp. continues to hold 218,000 hectares of cropland in Madagascar, according to a new campaign by Rainforest Rescue.
Madfish?: scientist warns that farmed fish could be a source of mad cow disease
(06/17/2009) In a paper that shows just how strange our modern world has become, Robert P. Friedland, neurologist from the University of Louisville, warns that farmed fish could be at risk of Creutzfeldt Jakob disease, or mad cow disease.
Rich countries buy up agricultural land in poor countries
(05/26/2009) Over two-and-half million hectares in the Democratic Republic of the Congo; half a million hectares in Tanzania; and a quarter of a million hectares in Libya: these figures represent just some of the recent international land deals where wealthy countries buy up land in poorer nations for food, and sometimes biofuel, production. The controversial trend has sparked a recent report from the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) highlighting what nations have to gain—and lose—from participating in such deals.
New rainforest reserve in Congo benefits bonobos and locals
(05/25/2009) A partnership between local villages and conservation groups, headed up by the Bonobo Conservation Initiative (BCI), has led to the creation of a new 1,847 square mile (4,875 square kilometer) reserve in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The reserve will save some of the region's last pristine forests: ensuring the survival of the embattled bonobo—the least-known of the world's four great ape species—and protecting a wide variety of biodiversity from the Congo peacock to the dwarf crocodile. However, the Kokolopori Bonobo Reserve is worth attention for another reason: every step of its creation—from biological surveys to reserve management—has been run by the local Congolese NGO and villages of Kokolopori.
Congo biochar initiative will reduce poverty, protect forests, slow climate change
(05/19/2009) An initiative using soil carbon enrichment techniques to boost agricultural yields, alleviate poverty, and protect endangered forests in Central Africa was today selected as one of six projects to win funding under the Congo Basin Forest Fund (CBFF). The scientific committee of the CBFF awarded Belgium's Biochar Fund and its Congolese partner ADAPEL €300,000 to implement its biochar concept in 10 villages in the Equateur Province of the Democratic Republic of Congo. The approach improves the fertility of soils through the introduction of "biochar" — charcoal produced from the burning of agricultural residues and waste biomass under reduced oxygen conditions — thereby increasing crop yields and reducing the need to clear forest for slash-and-burn agriculture.
Bioelectricity bests ethanol on two fronts: land use and global warming
(05/07/2009) Yesterday the Obama Administration established a Biofuels Interagency Working Group to oversee implementation of new rules and research regarding biofuels. On the group's first day of work they would do well to look at a new study in Science Magazine comparing the efficacy of ethanol versus bioelectricity.
Famous Kenyan park experiencing large declines in wildlife
(04/21/2009) In Masai Mara, one of Africa's most treasured parks, researchers have found significant, in some cases catastrophic, declines of wild grazing animals. In fifteen years six of seven hoofed animals—giraffes, warthogs, hartebeest, impala, topis and waterbucks—showed declines. The study published in the British Journal of Zoology confirms what has long been expected: wildlife populations in Masai Mara are plummeting due to increased competition with humans and livestock.
Colorado River unlikely to meet current water demands in warmer, drier world
(04/20/2009) Feeding the water habits of such major cities as Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Phoenix, in addition to providing irrigation waters for the entire Southwestern United States, has stretched the Colorado River thin. The river no longer consistently reaches the sea as it once did. Now a new study warns that the Colorado River system, which has proven dependable for human use throughout the 20th Century, may soon experience shortages due to global warming.
Republic of Congo to turn over 25 M acres of land to South African farmers
(04/20/2009) The government of Republic of Congo (Brazzaville) has offered 25 million acres (10 million hectares) of land to South African farmers in an effort to improve the central African nation's food security, reports Reuters. The area is nearly twice the amount of arable land in South Africa.
Brazil could triple agricultural output without touching the Amazon rainforest
(04/15/2009) Brazil could triple its agricultural without the needing to clear additional rainforest in the Amazon Basin, Roberto Mangabeira Unger, Brazil's Minister of Strategic Affairs, told Bloomberg in an interview. The argument that Brazil can expand its agricultural production without harming the Amazon is a mantra among Brazilian officials. The country has vast tracts of pasture and agricultural land that are being underutilized or have been abandoned, but rapidly appreciating land prices, coupled with poor governance and inconsistent enforcement of environmental laws, means that it is often more profitable to clear new forest land than to rehabilitate pasture.
Rainforest soy moratorium shows success in the Brazilian Amazon
(04/15/2009) An industry-led moratorium on soy plantings on recently deforested rainforest land continues to show success in the Brazilian Amazon, reports a study released Tuesday by environmental groups and Abiove, the soy industry group that formed the initiative and represents about 90 percent of Brazil's soy crush. The satellite-based study showed that only 12 of 630 sample areas (1,389 of 157,896 hectares) deforested since July 2006 — the date the moratorium took effect — were planted with soy.
Global warming will hit corn yields, costing US over a billion dollars annually
(04/10/2009) Corn is the staple crop of the US. Its annual yield is more than twice that of any other American crop, covering an astounding 125,000 square miles. However, this behemoth crop is currently threatened. A new analysis by Environment America, shows that lower yields of corn due to global warming will cost farmers 1.4 billion every year.
Brazil: 'Soy King', Environment Minister strike deal on Amazon deforestation
(04/02/2009) Meeting at the Katoomba payments-for-ecosystem-services conference in Cuiaba, Brazil, Carlos Minc, Brazil's Environment Minister, and Blairo Maggi, Governor of the State of Mato Grosso and the world's largest individual soy grower, put aside their ideological differences and agreed to grant a temporary reprieve for ranchers and farmers in the Amazonian state, allowing them up to four years to reforest their holdings to bring them up to legal code. Under Brazilian law landowners in the "legal Amazon" are required to maintain 80 percent forest cover on their holdings, but in practice, the regulation is widely ignored.
Ecological Cacao? Thinking about all sides of your chocolate bar
(04/01/2009) As concern for the preservation of forest eco-systems in the tropics has increased over past decades, there has been a growing consideration for ways to harmonize tropical agricultural production with the surrounding environment. The idea of shade grown products, especially coffee and cacao, have become the focus of scientific study and of marketable interest for environmentally conscientious consumers. However, the practical and dependable nature of the practice of shade growing for farmers and conservation objectives is still the matter of some debate.
Loss of genetic diversity hurts agriculture
(03/23/2009) Agriculture has long been dependent on the ability of plant species to adapt to varying environmental conditions — without this diversity agriculture development would not have been possible. But human activities are putting this diversity at risk through habitat destruction and introduction of alien species, especially in parts of the world where such diversity is particularly critical: tropical developing countries. This threat has spurred increased efforts to find and conserve plants with special traits adapted to the marginal farming systems of tropical smallholders.
Land rights victory for Amazon Indians in Brazil
(03/20/2009) In what is being hailed as a victory for indigenous groups in the Brazilian Amazon, Brazil's Supreme Court sided with Indians from the Raposa Serra do Sol reservation in a 30-year land dispute with large-scale farmers in the northern state of Roraima, near the border with Venezuela, reports the Associated Press.
80% of agricultural expansion since 1980 came at expense of forests
(02/15/2009) More than half of cropland expansion between 1980 and 2000 occurred at the expense of natural forests, while another 30 percent of occurred in disturbed forests, reported a Stanford University researcher presenting Saturday at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in Chicago.
Indonesia may allow conversion of peatlands for palm oil
(02/15/2009) The Indonesian government will allow developers to convert millions of hectares of land for oil palm plantations, reports The Jakarta Post. The decision threatens to undermine Indonesia's efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from land use and fashion itself as a leader on the environment among tropical countries.
Political violence in Madagascar may lead Daewoo to abandon controversial farm project
(02/10/2009) Political instability and low commodity prices may lead South Korea's Daewoo Logistics to delay or pull out of a controversial agricultural project in Madagascar, reports Reuters.
Secretary of Energy warns of dire future for agriculture in California
(02/05/2009) Secretary of Energy Steven Chu warned climate change could severely impact California agricultural industry by the end of the century, reported the Los Angeles Times.
Sustainable farming is the only way to feed the planet going forward
(02/05/2009) Embracing more sustainable farming methods is the only way for the world's farmers to grow enough food to meet the demands of a growing population and respond to climate change, the top crop expert with the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) said today.
Beef drives 80% of Amazon deforestation
(01/29/2009) Nearly 80 percent of land deforested in the Amazon from 1996-2006 is now used for cattle pasture, according to new maps released today in a report by Greenpeace at the World Social Forum in Belem, Brazil. The report, Amazon Cattle Footprint: Mato Grosso: State of Destruction, confirms that cattle ranching is the primary driver of deforestation in Earth's largest rainforest: the Brazilian Amazon.
Symposium tackles big question: how many species will survive our generation
(01/16/2009) Nine scientists dusted off their crystal balls Monday at the National Museum of Natural History in Washington DC, weighing in on the future of the world's tropical forest. Despite the most up-to-date statistics, prognosis for the future of tropical forests varied widely. In the last few years a schism has occurred among biologists regarding the future of the tropics. No tropical scientist denies that rainforests and the species which inhabit them face unprecedented threats; neither do they argue that some of these forested regions and species will likely not survive the next fifty years. What has sparked debate, sometimes heated, is how bad will is it really? When the dust settles, what percentage of species will survive and how much forest will remain?
Selective logging occurs in 28 percent of world's rainforests
(01/13/2009) New satellite research presented for the first time at a symposium entitled "Will the rainforests survive?" showed that selective logging is impacting over a quarter of the world's rainforests. Gregory Asner from the Carnegie Institution presented the "first true global estimate of selective logging" which showed that 5.5 million square kilometers of the rainforest has already seen selective logging or is slated to be logged in the near future.
Biochar and its Role in Mitigating Climate Change
(12/17/2008) The growing concerns about climate change have brought biochar, a charcoal produced from biomass combustion, into limelight. Biochar is a carbon-rich, fine-grained residue which can be produced either by ancient techniques (such as covering burning biomass with soil and allowing it to smolder) or state-of-the-art modern pyrolysis processes. Combustion and decomposition of woody biomass and agricultural residues results in the emission of a large amount of carbon dioxide. Biochar can store this CO2 in the soil leading to reduction in GHGs emission and enhancement of soil fertility. Biochar holds the promise to tackle chronic human development issues like hunger and food insecurity, low agricultural productivity and soil depletion, deforestation and biodiversity loss, energy poverty, air pollution and climate change. Thus, biochar could make a difference in the energy-starved countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America as well as the industrialized world with its vast array of benefits.
Corn expansion is hurting ladybugs
(12/15/2008) Expansion of corn acreage to meet ethanol targets is reducing the ability of beneficial insects to control pests, a loss valued at $58 million in the four states studied (Michigan, Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin), report researchers writing in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Finland, Sweden push for loophole that would drive destruction of peatlands around the world
(12/09/2008) Finland and Sweden are pushing for a loophole in the E.U.'s Renewable Energy Directive that would open up vast tracts of peatlands around the world to development for biofuels production. The move could have drastic consequences for climate and biodiversity, warns Wetlands International, an environmental group.
How youth in Kenya's largest slum created an organic farm
(12/09/2008) Kibera is one of the world's largest slums, containing over a million people and 60 percent of Nairobi's population. With extremely crowded conditions, little sanitation, and an unemployment rate at 50 percent, residents of Kibera face not only abject poverty but also a large number of social ills, including drugs, alcoholism, rape, AIDS, water-borne diseases, and tensions between various Kenyan tribes.
Linking rural health care to forest conservation proving a success in Borneo
(12/08/2008) Health in Harmony was today awarded mongabay.com's annual "Innovation in Conservation" award for its unique approach to conservation which combats illegal logging by providing healthcare and sustainable livelihoods to communities living around Gunung Palung National Park in Kalimantan, on the island of Borneo. The award includes a cash grant and prominent placement on the mongabay.com web site and newsletter for the month of December. Health in Harmony is working to break an impoverishing cycle of illegal logging and deforestation by offering healthcare rewards to encourage the villagers to protect the national park, rather than log it. The effort seems to be paying off: since launching a 'forests-for-healthcare' incentive program in September, 18 of 21 communities have signed a moratorium of understanding agreeing to participate.
Madagascar hit by deadly vanilla-killing fungus
(12/08/2008) Madagascar, the world's largest producer and exporter of vanilla, has been hit by a deadly, incurable fungus that can kill vanilla plants before their pods reach maturity, reports The Associated Press. The development could have dire impacts for the country's vanilla industry which generates hundreds of millions of dollars per year for the impoverished Indian Ocean island nation.
Saline agriculture may be the future of farming
(12/04/2008) Accessible and unpolluted freshwater is a necessity for every nation's stability and well-being. Yet, while the demand for freshwater continues to rise, its sources face increasing threats from salinization, a process whereby the salt content of fresh water rises until the water becomes undrinkable and unusable in agriculture: the more salt in the soil, the lower the crop yield.
Degraded grasslands better option for palm oil production relative to rainforests, finds study
(12/03/2008) Producing biofuels from oil palm plantations established on degraded grasslands rather than tropical rainforests and peat lands would result in a net removal of carbon from the atmosphere rather than greenhouse gas emissions, report researchers writing in Conservation Biology. The results confirm that benefits to climate from biofuel production depend greatly on the type of land used for feedstocks.
Fall in palm oil price may lead to industry consolidation
(12/02/2008) A dramatic fall in palm oil prices may provide an opportunity for plantation giants to add to their holdings, reports Reuters.
Agricultural firms cut incentives for Amazon deforestation
(12/02/2008) As grain prices plummet and concerns over cash mount, agricultural giants are cutting loans to Brazilian farmers, reports the Wall Street Journal. Tighter farm credit may be contributing to a recent slowing in deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon, where agriculture is an increasingly important driver of forest clearing.
REDD may harm forest people, alleges report
(12/02/2008) A new report finds that the World Bank is not doing enough to protect indigenous rights under its mechanism to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD).
Carbon market could pay poor farmers to adopt sustainable cultivation techniques
(11/26/2008) The emerging market for forest carbon could support agroforestry programs that alleviate rural poverty and promote sustainable development, states a new report issued by the World Agroforestry Center (ICRAF).
Madagascar denies 'land grab' by South Korean conglomerate
(11/22/2008) Officials from Madagascar are denying they have reached an agreement to turn over half the island nation's arable land to a South Korean corporation for food production, reports Reuters. The controversial deal — which would have paid Madagascar nothing and turned over 1.3 million hectares to produce corn and palm oil for export at a time when one-third of country's children are malnourished — was reported last week by the Financial Times.

Tue. July 2008, 29th.
When we awaked up Scotland was crying because we were leaving her. She welcomed us with brightness after some horrible days, but then that we were leaving it was raining.
This is the same view from the room than in the night. I like that golden angel in the church in the left.
We did a reserve in the Etap in Leeds, which resulted me a bit difficult, because Leeds' people speaks too fast for me. A thing i noticed was that when i got used to welsh accent, i was going to south Scotland (which accent are softer than any i noticed there), and then i was in north Scotland, which are stronger, and then in Skye which is different. And then in Leeds... where they don't speak, but vomit words. My spoken english is not very good, and i sometimes seemed stupid asking "repeat please" almost three times to understand something.
But hey, in Spain we have asturianos, gallegos, andaluces, and catalanes, that it's very difficult for you to understand a word even when we try to speak real spanish (not talking about other home languages).
Well, we then took the road to New Lanark. We hadn't planned go there, but was in the way to Galashiels. We took a look from the upstairs, as it was raining and we didn't have time to explore. Afterall, we live in a mining region and the oldest blocks of mining villages are very similar to these, so it wouldn't be very different.
We reached Peebles and went for Galashiels. This road is very good for biking, but beware, there were warning signs saying "74 motorcyclist have died here". I think it's because the road is narrow and has heavy traffic (buses and trucks). It also was difficult to pass lorries because visibility is poor. But even under the rain, we enjoyed it.
We stopped finally in Melrose, to see its abbey. The rain stopped too and we enjoyed the ruins and could took a look at the cemetery, to see that the oldest of the lapids were from s.XVIII.
We tried to see Dryburgh Abbey, near of Melrose one, but didn't find the way. So we went to Kelso to see its one. If our third day in Wales was the day of the castles, this was gonna be the day of the abbeys.
Near Kelso we could see Floors Castle, but only from the road. The village of Kelso liked us, with is cobble stone streets and the bridge. The abbey wasn't as spectacular as Melrose, or Sweetheart one (this was in Dumfries, remember?).
Then to Jedburgh, to see its abbey too. This one was really huge, with less grass and more "old stones". It has all the ruins of what it was an abbey: kitchen, bedrooms, mill, etc. We enjoyed for an hour visiting it.
It was time to leave Scotland in sorrow and enter England again and in sorrow too, as our travel was finishing. We have to go back, cause we missed Glen Coe and Trossachs!
We crossed to England through Carter Bar pass, inside Northumberland National Park.
We looked after Hadrian's Wall (132aC). We took a small road full of overloaded wood trucks (i could see its tyres) which went up the hills at only 10mph. But police do nothing, as always. After passing some of them, we reached Chester, and its roman fort. I have seen many roman ruins in Spain, but seeing another one in such a northern place excited me.
It was getting late, so we went to Housesteads fort in a hurry. But we couldn't go up and only see it from afar.
Back in the road we could see the Wall in its splendor. This road goes near it, and sometimes you can see the moat in its side, and other you can see the old wall.
I was time to go to Leeds. I tried to gain time going south directly through A68, instead of taking the motorway that goes near Newcastle (and do 50km more). I think i didn't gain it, because it has traffic and lots of villages. But hey, now i can say that i see something in that part of England!
We reached Etap hotel about 9pm. after eating in a McDonalds at the entrance of Leeds. We asked for our room and went up. As i was entering the room i could see a young woman entering the shower. "Mmm, i think this is not our room dear..." She didn't see us, so we hadn't to stand for the shouts.
I went down to reception to see what was happened. "Oh, sorry was our fault, take this one". We went up again to our new room... and found it undone. "What the f**k? They're gonna hear me!" But no, i couldn't shout nothing, my vocabulary of damning is not very good. I had to eat my frustration while she gave us another room. This one was the one.
But i want you to imagine the situation: two people on cordura clothes, tired of doing 400 km. and seeing many things that day, with rain and sun and rain again, at nine in the afternoon, with two cases, two bedrolls, a tent, a tank bag, two helmets and gloves, going up and down in the lift for three times. It was surrealistic.
After a shower we went to look after our pints. We did a walk through some comercial streets, with some beautiful galleries, and many clocks in the walls.
Top of it we could see some nightclubs and bars, and entered one. They had damned belgian beer! Franziskaner, Leffe and so. Don't misunderstand me, i love that beers. I have ALWAYS some of them in my fridge, but we wanted real ale, our time in Britain was finishing. British beers are not distributed in Spain, and i don't know why, as 15 years ago (when i started to drink alcohol) i could find Bass, Tennent's and Caffrey's (at least).
It was a poor sign of globalization. We drank our belgian beers and made a different walk to the hotel.
This nightclub was in a interesting place, under the train rails. It remembered me that kind of gothic films, like Blade or Underworld, filmed in Praga.
It was a long day.

Wed. July 2008, 30th.
This was gonna be the first of four days in the motorways. From Leeds (West Yorkshire) we went to Leeds (Kent), about 400km to the south. We surrounded London under horrible 35ºC, and reached Leeds for lunch. Why did we go to this Leeds? Well, because Lord Conway wrote this:
"Wonderful in manifold glories are the great castle visions of Europe; Windsor from the Thames, Warwick or Ludlow from their riversides, Conway or Caernarvon from the sea, Amboise from the Loire, Aigues Mortes from the lagoons, Carcassonne, Coucy, Falaise and Chateau Gaillard - Beautiful as they are crowned with praise, they are not comparable in beauty as with Leeds, beheld among the waters on an autumnal evening when the bracken is golden and there is a faint blue mist among the trees - the loveliest castle, as thus beheld, in the whole world"
You can see that we visited three of that list in this travel: Conway, Caernarvon and Leeds. I hope to see the others sometime.
The price was 15£ pp (18 in that moment), but fortunately we could use the Heritage Pass that we used through all of our visits. We saved a lot of money with that passes (more than 100%). The castle is surrounded by a big lake, and this one by a big park, and this last is why you pay so much.
Leeds Castle, despite its ancient origins of s.XII, was always updated, and now appears stalled in the seventies, when the last owner gave it to the nation. I think that many castles were donated to the Government by that years, perhaps because of petroleum crisis, could it be?
You enter it from the cellar.
The Throne Hall, as supposed it was by Henry VIII ages.
She doesn't like to read.
After having an ice cream i phoned my cousin, who is living near, in Canterbury. She booked a room for us in Alicante Guest House (and they weren't spaniards!), so we went to Canterbury to spend the night. We had a great desire of getting our Cordura's off!
We walked to High Street seeing nice buildings. We remembered the ones from Chester (south of Liverpool).
Then we entered to the cathedral enclosure under this door. We have one of this style in Burgos, with a fantastic cathedral too.
Really nice cathedral, isn't it? While we were walking we saw a priestess... ein? It was a shock, we know about that but we weren't thinking about it.
We could enter to the cloister (great!).
And then to the origins of this cathedral, a norman door from s.XI.
We went our by another point, and see this famous house in Canterbury.
Even the door is inclined, forming a trapeze instead of a rectangle. More pics from the village, which we liked a lot.
After the walk we had some pints and dinner in a pub with a terrace in the backwards. We had some more pints after that in another pub, and then i drank the worst of all of the beers i've ever drunk, the Pedigree Ale. As you can suppose, it tastes to dog pee! I had to drink another Spitfire after the Pedigree, to cut off that awful taste before going to bed.

There's little to write yet, but i will finish it.
Thu. July 2008, 31th.
Before leaving Canterbury, we wanted to see the interior of the cathedral, which we couldn't last afternoon. We asked our hosts to leave our luggage in the room to make the visit, and take it all afterwards. They agreed so we walked again to the old building. This time we had to pay 7£ each to enter, even to see the outsides of the church, where we walked for free hours before. Our British Heritage Passes weren't useful here.
It wasn't important if they were anglicans or catolics, in gothic churches height and light were the most important things.
After seeing lots of cathedrals in Spain (lots are lots, from Girona to Santiago de Compostela, and from Oviedo to Sevilla), i can agree that this one of Canterbury is more splendid in its interior than any i know in Spain. That's because in Canterbury tombs are decorated profusely while in Spain religion was understood as modesty and they usually have only a sculpture over the lapid.
It could be that spanish churches had to pay their tithe to Rome, while english churches had to pay to Canterbury, and Canterbury to nobody, so they could spend the money in decorations.
It is commonly known that Thomas Becket was murdered in this cathedral. It was made a shrine here for the pilgrims to worship, but Henry VIII didn't like it for what it meant and destroyed it.
A Disney-style window.
We walked back to the guest house to change our clothes before taking the route to Dover. We could see its castle from the highway but we couldn't go to see it and its WW2 tunnels, as we were recommended by my cousin.
After buying the tickets we waited under the suffocating sun. The ferry was older and dirtier than Santander one, but we had to suffer being enclosed only for an hour, while we ate our sandwiches.
We all came out the ferry as The Devil was pursuing us. If you stopped by any reason, people could drive over you, so we ran. We could see at the distance the clock tower of Calais, but we didn't want to stop as we were very far away from home to do the travel comfortably. We decided to avoid toll highways, but after some miles we discovered it was as bad decision: in France there are lots of villages one after another, and you can't travel fast outside the highways.
I felt strange driving on the right after almost 3 weeks in UK.
We could leave The Devil back in the ferry, but the hot of Inferno was burning us. The hot was rising more and more, and if we were slower than 120kph, we could boil inside the Cordura although we had it open at all. My t-shirt was completely wet. It resulted the hottest day of the summer, more even that the one in Balmoral, or the hotter in Leeds, because humidity was higher. But while we were reaching Rouen, the sky got darker and darker, and when it got black over Rouen, the storm fell.
Under the painful rain we followed a silly tomtom (tontón in spanish means silly, so it's a proper name to that device) through Rouen looking for an Etap Hotel. Every street had changed its way, and it resulted difficult to find it. Finally i had to use my instinct to reach it because tomtom didn't know how.
After we got dried and changed our clothes, some sweaty and others wet, we asked receptionist how to reach the center of the town. She fortunatelly spoked english, and explained us how to take the tram and what to see. Rain stopped and we could walk admiring the cathedral and other buildings, and we discovered that Rouen was a nice city. Most of the center is pedestrian zone (as in Oviedo, our city), and in every square there were musicians making concerts, or other spectacles to entertain people.
The pity was that i forgot my camera in the room, and i had to use the mobile's one.
We discovered that in France alcohol is sold in little shops apart from supermarkets, and that in fast food restaurants they don't have even a beer. We had dinner in a small kebap's bar, trying to make us understand to a very kind moroccan guy (i suppose he was from Morocco). We don't know a word in french, but fortunatelly he spoked two in spanish (yes, only two ). After that, we bought a pair of beers in that little shops (belgian beers, no more ale) and took the tram back to the room.
We only made 250km that day.

Wonderful Ride Report.
I am left very impressed. Are you two history majors by any chance?
You make Simon Schama seem like an amateur historian.
My favorite castle happens to be Caernarfon. Which castle left the biggest impression on you?
Thank you so much for sharing your trip.

Brilliant RR Avispao. Fine photos & your mastery of English is admirable. What few mistakes you make only serve to make the read more interesting. I've traveled some by car & moto in Spain, mostly in Catalunia, (where my total Catalan is "bon nadal") How did you find driving on the "wrong" side of the road? My fear of crashing has kept me on the continent in all my European trips. Perhaps if you can do it two-up, I could try on my next holiday?

Driving on the wrong side was easy peasy. The first or two days you are on alert, specially in the morning after sleeping, and specially at the crosses, but after then you're one more on the road. It was so easy that when i entered France i made the crosses as i were one more brit.

Fantastic trip! And Scotland's weather seemed to be mostly good to you. I went in October 2005 (link to my story below), and wasn't so lucky. That said, I never saw a midge!

In the wild, cats like to have a clear view of their surroundings in order to detect the approach of rivals or predators. This means that where you place your cat's dish plays an important role in her level of comfort at feeding time.
Tip 1: Placing a cat's dish in the corner of a room may put her both on edge and on guard because she can't see what's around her. This is especially true in homes with multiple cats or a dog.
Tip 2: To lessen the tension, try positioning her dish in the open to maximize her sight lines.
Feeding your cat should be a positive experience for you and for her. Hopefully these tips will help you find just the right place for your cat's dish.
Learn how to properly socialize your cat, and discover fun ways to train her to do more.

Cory Monteith is one grateful guy.
He stars as Finn Hudson, the singing high school football jock in television's new, much-buzzed-about musical comedy Glee (which finally begins its regular weekly run on Fox tonight!)
"The fact that I get to do this for a living is ridiculous," Monteith, 27, tells me in a small theater in Los Angeles where Glee has been filming the season finale.
"I still can't wrap my head around the fact that people are paying me to do this," he adds.
There was a time when Monteith didn't think he'd ever land more than a blue-collar job back in his native Canada. He never even finished high school...
"It wasn't for me," Monteith says about school. "I can remember ever since about the sixth or seventh grade, I just didn't understand why I had to learn what I was learning. For some reason, there was a spirit of rebellion in me."
He didn't think about a career in show business until he was 20 years old.
"I was working as a roofer and taxi driver in some backwater town and I was at loose ends and somebody said, 'You should be an actor!' " Monteith said. "I was like, 'Sure! I need to pay my rent.' "
Before landing Glee, he built up a résumé that includes work in movies like Final Destination 3 and a slew of television shows, including Kyle XY.
"People are really happy that it worked out," he says, regarding his friends and family back in Canada. "Things went very, very badly in my life for a long time and now they are going very well."
That doesn't mean he's taking anything for granted. "I don't forget where I come from," he stresses.

Miho Miyazaki (宮崎美穂?, born July 30, 1993 in Tokyo, Japan) is a member of the Japanese girl idol group AKB48. Currently a member of AKB48's Team K, she was formerly in the group's Team B and before reshuffling she was the member of Team A.
In 2007, Miho Miyazaki passed an audition for AKB48 and became a 5th generation kenkyūsei (trainee).
On July 13, 2008, she was promoted to Team A[1] along with 4 other girls.
It was on the 11th single "Ōgoe Diamond", released on October 22, 2008 when Miho Miyazaki was selected to perform on the title track for the first time, and since then she started being selected for the title tracks of all singles in a row.
In February 2009, she moved to another talent agency, Horipro. Since then, she has been playing under the number 30 for the footsal team Xanadu loves NHC.
In the AKB48's 13th single elections, held in May–June, 2009, Miho placed 18th, thus passing the selection for the title track.[2]
On July 10, 2009, for an event dedicated to the Nattō Day, Miyazaki with Tomomi Itano and Tomomi Kasai formed a group called Nattō Angel. At the event, they sang the self-titled track.[3]
On January 22, in the TV series Majisuka Gakuen, Miho Miyazaki debuted as an actress.
On May 21, Miho Miyazaki was transferred from Team A to Team B. The transfer was announced on August 23 of the previous year.
In the AKB48's 17th single selection Miyazaki placed 21st with 6,231 votes.[4][5] This result was enough to pass the selection for the title track, but left her out of the media senbatsu*, that she was part of for the previous, 16th, single "Ponytail to Shushu".
In July, she again participated in the Nattō Day celebration. That time, her group was called Nattō Angel Z, and the other girls in the unit were Sumire Satō and Haruka Ishida, both from Team B.
When on November 20, 2010, AKB48 gave a concert at the J-pop Culture Festival in Moscow, Russia, Miho Miyazaki was one of the 12 members, selected for the show.
*Media sembatsu is a 16-member team, which members receive close-ups in the music video and which performs the song in the media, e.g. TV shows.
On May 14, 2011, Misaki Iwasa, Mika Komori, and Miho Miyazaki launched the first AKB48 concept store in Singapore. The event gathered hundreds of fans.[6]
In the 22nd single senbatsu elections, Miho Miyazaki placed 27th.[7][8]
In the 27th single senbatsu elections, held on June 6 at Nippon Budokan,[9] Miho Miyazaki placed 38th.[10]
Miyazaki is being again transferred from Team B to Team K as part of the teams' reshuffle announced during the Tokyo Dome concert on August 24, 2012.[11]

The band will enter Moresound Studios with Jason Randall (Ed Gein) this week to begin recording their full-length debut, titled "Blood of the Medusa."

Their Thorp Records debut, "Visceral Departure" is due in stores August 8th. You can download an MP3 for "In The Eyes Of God" now.
Hatebreed Add New Guitarist
Hatebreed have announced the addition of guitarist Frank "3 Gun" Novinec to their line-up. Novinec, a Cleveland native, has previously played with Terror, Ringworm, and Integrity. According to frontman Jamey Jasta, "We've decided to become a five piece again. Mainly because of the new album having a lot of parts that involve second guitar but also because me and Beattie started this band as a 5 piece and feel like it's an integral part of our sound and vision." Meanwhile, Hatebreed's Sean Martin had the following to say:
"Frank '3 Gun' Novinec has been an influential guitar player in the hardcore scene since the release of 'The Promise,' by Ringworm in 1993. His guitar playing/writing with Ringworm, as well as everything he did with Integrity helped to define the Cleveland sound. That sound had a direct impact on me as a guitar player, and as a fan, it got me through a lot of hard times and helped to define my playing today. I was lucky enough to meet 3 Gun while we were on tour with Motorhead, and playing a show in Cleveland. Since then, He's become one of my best friends, and it will be an honor to be sharing the stage with him."

I have never seen something like this and think that you're probably overreacting at least more than a little. This is a world of imagination anyway. Just pretend that Baloo was an accidental stow away after a time traveling trip to his jungle. Now he's lost and needs your help to find his way home

Disneyland 1969 at the entrance to Tomorrowland.
Find our trip report videos on Youtube at FreshBakedDisney. Find our blog at www.freshbakeddisney.com.
Also, what exactly is the theming of Tomorrowland? I haven't been able to figure out the connection of driving stinky cars, Microsoft products, toys and something that takes place a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.
I'm honestly OK with this. I think it's fun to see the characters in their lands, but it is not an absolute for me. None of the characters who appear on Main Street really would have been found in an early 20th century American town...what is the difference between Maleficent hanging out in Main Street during Halloween and Baloo in Tomorrowland?
I'm wondering if this was logistics. If they tried to have characters show up in Adventureland outside of Aladdin's Oasis it would be an absolute nightmare because of how tight the space is. Also, perhaps he was on his way to the Motorboat Cruise area? I've seen a lot of different characters there.
You aren't overreacting at all... well maybe a little bit, but your core point is valid. This character encounter seems most like a modern day version of the old Walt seeing a cowboy in Tomorrowland story (or was it a spaceman in Frontierland? ).
Why is Baloo not in featured in Star Tours? Because theme is important to that story. Why doesn't Baloo belong in Tomorrowland? Because theme is important to the story being told in that land. If you are of the camp that thinks Baloo shouldn't be in Star Tours but is okay to exist in Tomorrowland, then you place a much greater importance on theme congruence within an attraction, and place virtually no importance on theme congruence within a land. That is fine, but what then is to separate a park like Disneyland from Universal Studios (where theme is only emphasized within individual attractions)?
I'm not sure of your point about Tomorrowland. What is Fantasyland but a land about flying elephants, sailing around the world and princesses?
Just because the Tomorrowland theme is imperfect (which is where I agree with you) doesn't mean we should abandon it, does it? Wouldn't a better solution be to strive to improve it?
Disneyland Wooooh!
"You see- Everybody's got a laughin' place, trouble is most folks won't take the time to go look for it."
I get more upset by all of the out of place merchandise.

A Pipestone, Minnesota, native who died in a fall down the smokestack of a Chicago hotel is being remembered as an aspiring comedian who was full of energy.
Twenty-three-year-old Nick Wieme, who had been living in Chicago, was part the iO Theater, formerly known as ImprovOlympic, one of Chicago's top comedy companies.
Pastor Rod Stemme of Peace United Methodist Church in Pipestone, who's been in contact with the family, confirms Wieme's death.
His coach at iO, Matt Higbee, is remembering Wieme's "joyous energy" and "complete playfulness" on and off stage.
One of his professors at Minnesota State University Moorhead, Kyja Nelson, says Wieme was one of the funniest people she's ever met.
Wieme's parents, Bernie and Casey Wieme of Pipestone, requested privacy.

Like the Band, Neil Young eschewed his Canadian roots to create a sound rooted in American folk and country, which he mixed with visionary, poetic rock in Buffalo Springfield and on his solo albums. He played the crucial fourth wheel role in Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, but ultimately proved too individualistic to participate in a democracy. The gritty, electric assault of his work with Crazy Horse is the alter ego of Young's more folk/country-based work, and also proved a key influence on the grunge sound of Seattle (Young even recorded a live album with Pearl Jam as his backing band). Over the years, he's followed his mercurial muse through everything from rockabilly to synth-pop to big-band blues, always remaining uniquely Neil.
Neil Young''s second solo album, 1969''s Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere cracked the Top 40, went platinum and included three of his most beloved songs, ''Cinnamon Girl'' and the nearly 10-minute epics ''Down By The River'' and ''Cowgirl In The Sand.'' The album also introduced his associated band, Crazy Horse.

I have installed Victoria4 and Victoria Base Morph,
so everything is in his right place ready to begin to work,
but I have a misunderstanding point :
- I double-click on Victoria4 (via panel content ) and then she appears on the scene with some loaders and windows during her installation.
- after that I try to apply on her some face morphs visible on the content panel ( example joined ), so I double-click on the thumbnail, a very fast loading window appear and desappear, and…........ nothing change on her face :-(
I tried several times but nothing appears on her…
Could you tell me what is the point that I miss?
Thank you
