A N Y 1 0 | TREN HOTEL EUROPA
Posted on 11 September 2011	A N Y 1 0
If I am not wrong this flag was not there before 2001
In Catalan we say ANY for YEAR. So ANY 10 would mean something like 10th year. I have chosen this name for this post because it is 10 years since the attack to the twin towers and I like to use the Catalan word ANY instead of YEAR because the word ANY contains NY …
So it is 10 years since the attack and in Catalonia it is also a bank holiday as it happened on that tragic day. September 11th, Onze de Setembre, is also a very special day for Catalonia. And it goes back to 1714.
Anyway, it is 10 years since that tragic day and I wanted to show, as I did 10 years ago, my support to the US people. It is obvious that the US is not a perfect country (I’m thinking about torture and Guantánamo) but just looking at other countries like China or Russia I feel quite happy of the existence of this old democracy.

Monticiano is a small medieval hamlet with all necessary amenities such as Supermarket, Pharmacy, medical services, Post Office and Banks. There is a local restaurants and a few others in the surroundings. The area offers pristine wilderness, walking rails, peace and quiet. Siena is only 25 minutes by car.We stayed in the Mansardi Apartment for 1 week in July. The apartments are within a charming "Agriturismo" set in beautiful gardens with a great pool. The apartment was on the top floor and was very spacious and comfortable. Although we had no private outside space, there were plenty of communal areas outside where we could sit out with a bottle of wine. Kitchen area is basic but sufficient for 2 people. The location is quite unusual for an Agriturismo as it is walking distance into the town of Monticiano. Although you sacrifice something in terms of isolation and view, it is great to be able to walk to one of the local restaurants for dinner. You are also within driving distance of some great day trips including Siena, Florence and San Gimignano. Diana and Tito were friendly and helpful and we would definitely recommend this place.Katy2012-07-10T00:00:00ZHad a great time at Dianas BLU apartment. The place is very nice (maybe even better than on the photos), quite, clean and comfortable. Nice swimmingpool and a great garden. The hostess and host (Tito) were always helpful and friendly. I can thoroughly recommend staying here! However, I would like to point out that the nearby town, Monticiano (10 min. walk) is tiny and very quite – and the only restaurant (De Vestro) is not worth a visit. Bad food, terrible service. The local bar/wineshop (Enoteca Benedetto Vino), on the other hand, was very nice and accommodating, and the local supermarket is not bad. All in all we had a great time in Monticiano and I would absolutely recommend Diana and her apartments to anyone looking for a rural, quite and comfortable Tuscany-holiday!Erland2012-08-18T00:00:00ZWe could not be happier with Villa Podernovo as the venue for our wedding. The place is spectacular and Diana was extremely accommodating with all our requests. The villa is so beautiful and Diana keeps it so perfectly - all of our guests were overjoyed with their stay. Diana, thank you for all of your hard work and kind hospitality - we will definitely be recommending Podernovo to all of our friends.

Intorno solo campagna: boschi, sentieri nel verde, ruscelli e fiumi.Cosa dire dei luoghi d'arte che si trovano nelle vicinanze? A circa 6 km, l'abbazia di San Galgano, un autentico gioello architettonico che sembra riportarci ad atmosfere nordeuropee più che toscane. Del resto, la Spada nella Roccia, l' unica autentica del XII sec., riconduce ad antiche leggende celtiche...Tutto contribuisce a creare un ambiente spirituale ed artistico di grande valore. San Galgano è raggiungibile a piedi dal Castellare: un sentiero ombreggiato e l'attraversamento di un fiume (con ponte di legno) consentono di vivere un'esperienza di carattere naturalistico, spirituale, artistico. Arrivare a scoprire gradualmente la bellezza del complesso religioso (abbazia ed eremo) rappresenta un'esperienza unica. Se questo è uno dei percorsi più emozionanti che in autunno consente anche di provare il piacere di trovare gustosi funghi, ce ne sono altri ugualmente degni di nota. Attraversando il paese di Monticiano, ci si può addentrare in un altro sentiero, selvaggio e spettacolare, che attraverso il passaggio di ruscelli trasparenti e scorci panoramici, conduce all'eremo di Camerata, anch'esso risalente al XII sec. Per chi,invece,ama vivere momenti di assoluto relax c'è la possibilità di usufruire gratuitamente della piscina di un agriturismo di lusso (ex Mulino Bianco) a circa 10 km (15 min di auto).

It is your own home in a large building shared with others. Lovely views, couldn't ask for better. Some great walks. We really enjoyed a day trip to Sienna,walking to the local village shop and finding a man who sold his own olive oil and wine from home ! Pia is a lovely women and we enjoyed her photography.. The bed was really hard and did have sore back..but luckily the other room was available too. Also please get better instructions to her house because with no wifi it is a huge problem, and expensive trying to sort it out when driving. Also parking in the places where she said got us into trouble with the local Italians..especially on Sunday, family visiting day.. But again this could be sorted easily. Thanks Pia, we truly enjoyed your place. Emma and Linz New ZealandEmma2014-07-30T00:00:00ZI had a very pleasant stay at Pia's lovely home in Tuscany.

She made sure we had everything we needed - even lent us maps and guides and recommended sites to visit around Tuscany (outside of the touristy destinations).Santiago2012-05-02T00:00:00Z(italian version below) The apartment is great and spacious and it was just what we were looking for: quiet and peaceful, with great views of the surrounding area. It is not very far from Siena, and Petriolo hotsprings are a 10 min drive away. Marvelous! Pia is a great host: very friendly, helpful and accommodating to a traveler's needs, she regularly checked in with us to see if we needed any help. We didn't have any problem, and our stay was wonderful. We would certainly come back for another holiday. ------------------ L'appartamento, grande e spazioso, era proprio ciò che cercavamo. Tranquillo e silenzioso, con una splendida vista sull'area circostante, è ottimo per chi voglia passare un periodo lontano dal "logorio della vita moderna", ma anche un ottimo punto di partenza per chi intenda visitare le provincie di Siena e Grosseto. Senza dimenticare le Terme di Petriolo, a soli 7 Km di distanza! Pia è una padrona di casa eccezionale: cordialissima e disponibile, ha regolarmente (e discretamente) verificato se avessimo bisogno d'aiuto. Non abbiamo avuto alcun problema, e il nostro soggiorno è stato meraviglioso. Ci piacerebbe sicuramente tornare per un'altra vacanza.Matthias2013-05-06T00:00:00ZRoom TypeEntire home/aptProperty TypeApartmentAccommodates4BedroomsMonticiano, Siena, ItalyPrice$87 AUD/ night Panorama near Petriolo hotsprings Entire home/apt · 1 bed3 reviewsSave to Wish List In the heart of the Tuscan countryside, in a place of great peace, a stone's throw from the Abbey of San Galgano (Sword in the Stone), the Castellare offers the opportunity to live in contact with the real country life. Just around the countryside: woods, nature trails, streams and fiumi.Cosa said of the art places that are nearby? At about 6 km, the Abbey of San Galgano, an authentic architectural jewel that seems to bring us back to more than nordeuropee Tuscan atmosphere. Moreover, the Sword in the Stone, the 'only true of the XII sec., Leads back to ancient Celtic legends ... All this helps create a spiritual environment and art of great value. San Galgano is in walking distance from Castellare: a shaded path and crossing a river (with wooden deck) allow you to experience naturalistic experience, spiritual, artistic. Gradually get to discover the beauty of the religious complex (abbey and hermitage) is a unique experience. If this is one of the most exciting routes in the fall also allows you to experience the pleasure of finding tasty mushrooms, there are others equally worthy of note. Through the village of Monticiano, you can enter another path, wild and spectacular, through the passage of transparent and panoramic views streams, it leads to the hermitage of Camerata, also dating from the twelfth century. For those, however, he likes to live moments of absolute relaxation there is the possibility of free use of the swimming pool of a luxury farmhouse (ex Mulino Bianco) about 10 km (15 min drive).

Deconstructing 'Aboriginal welfare dependency' : using postcolonial theory to reorientate Indigenous Affairs - Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS)
The Resource Deconstructing 'Aboriginal welfare dependency' : using postcolonial theory to reorientate Indigenous Affairs, by Zoe Gordon
The item Deconstructing 'Aboriginal welfare dependency' : using postcolonial theory to reorientate Indigenous Affairs, by Zoe Gordon represents a specific, individual, material embodiment of a distinct intellectual or artistic creation found in Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS).
Gordon, Zoe
With independence never granted, Australia continues to be a colonised country. This plays out in the way Indigenous affairs are understood and represented. Settler-invader viewpoints and values still have purchase. In this context it is worth returning to the founding ideas behind various approaches in order to be clear about which path to take. Once out in the open, values and assumptions can be assessed, based on their effects. This process combines the theoretical insights of Poststructuralism and Postmodernism with Postcolonial theory's decolonising project. One area which benefits from this approach is the construction of the problem of Aboriginal welfare dependency, particularly by the Howard Government. The loaded language of dependecy, the neoliberal emphasis on individual responsibility, and the lack of prioritisation of Aboriginal cultures all need unpacking. The commonsense approach proposed here has the potential to radically reorientate thinking on Indigenous issues and interrogate Australia's ongoing colonial history. -- Abstract

Gibbon and Gasbag: Day 20 Duisberg to Kalkar 72 kms
Fairly good day of riding. Got a train out of Cologne and got off at Duisborg. Hoped to get past most of the industrial part of Germany but still past vast factories with huge cooling towers. We didnt think much of Cologne as we were in a fairly grotty part overnight. Got a glimpse of the famous cathedral but didnt get a good picture.
Followed the Rhine trail fairly closely today and the only real complaint was the wind. As usual it always seems you are gong into it. The fact that there were a large number of huge wind generators suggests it would be windy. It has got pretty flat as we approach Holland.
Lots out cycling today with family riding every concievable type of cycle with lots of electric powered ones. But all ages are out there on a Sunday afternoon.
The first campsite we found was for static campers only so had to go on further. Stopped at a pleasant quiet one, but has limited fascilities so once again only some buscuits to eat since breakfast. Must be better prepared for tomorrow.
Probably only three more days of full cycling so certainly underestimated the distances that we could travel pulling rather heavy trailers.

Friends of Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge: August 2017
Hey Ma! Is that Snow?
It must be late summer when you see Snow-on-the-Prairie! Driving along the roads to Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge, this plant with cool appearing green and white leaves actually does look like a light dusting of snow where it is growing en masse. This white flowering plant can blanket a prairie in no time at all, hence the name. Because livestock stay away from the poisonous sap that the plant emits, it doesn't take much for it to cover a field.
Snow-on-the-Prairie, by Brenda Loveless
There are actually two plants, Euphorbia bicolor Engelm. and A. Gray, and Snow-on-the-Mountain, Euphorbia marginata Pursh; NPIN, the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center Native Plant Database, notes that the two are often confused.
As members of the Spurge Family, both plants have a milky sap that is irritating to humans with sensitive skin, as well as to the eyes and is toxic to cattle. A volunteer at the Refuge told us that beekeepers try to keep bees away from the plant, as it makes the honey "hot".
Poinsettias are members of the same family. Growing 1 - 4 feet tall, in poor soils, the plants multiply by throwing seed, described by Dorothy Thetford in Wildflowers-of-Texas. Thetford says, “This ballistic dispersal of seeds explains the scattered arrangement of plants on the prairie.”
Both plants are annuals in the spurge family. The actual flowers are tiny white blossoms, surrounded by the green and white bracts. The bract of bicolor (in photos) is narrower than that of marginata. The National Resources Conservation Service shows a range for Snow-on-the-Prairie including Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Arkansas. The bloom time is July – October. Anything that helps us think "cool" at this time of year in Texas is welcome!
NOTE: This is becoming an annual post! Various versions posted in August 2012, 2014, 2015, and 2016.

Beyond the Butterfly Garden – August, 2017
Butterflies can be found at Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge during any month or season, and throughout the year, visitors are encouraged to look beyond the Butterfly Garden to find them. Although it seems the heat will never end, the blooming of Snow-on-the-Prairie signals a change. Thistle still blooms and Frostweed is a popular nectar plant on roadside edges.
Some butterflies can be found throughout the United States, while others are only seen in a localized area. A few stray into a different geographic area to feed but not to deposit eggs. While climate is a key factor in where a species is found, more important is the presence of a preferred food source for caterpillars and adults.
In Grayson County, butterfly watchers have documented 87 different species and most of those have been found on the refuge. The Painted Lady, at right,
is a frequent visitor to all parts of the refuge because the adults are willing to nectar from a wide variety of blooms. They lay eggs on Thistle, Mallow, and many other plants. As you might imagine, this makes them one of the most common butterflies found, not only in the U.S. but around the world!
The American Lady, at left, looks very similar but it has a smaller range because of its nectaring habits and larval food sources. You might find both feeding in the same location, especially if there is thistle in the area. The two primary ways to tell them apart are the number and size of the spots on the hindwing (Painted Lady has four equally sized spots) and the presence of a white dot in the orange area near the forewing’s edge on the American Lady. Look for “ladies” wherever you see flowers.
The Southern Broken-dash, shown at right, is an uncommon butterfly in Grayson County. As its name implies, it is found in southern states and only in the east. It is one of the many skippers found on the refuge but may be difficult to identify without a photo. The adults feed on low flowers and their caterpillars feed on grasses. Look for them in the Sandy Point unit where grasses are not mowed and fall flowers grow undisturbed.
The Skipper family is widely varied in color and characteristics. The Common Checkered-skipper, shown at left, is the most widespread because it adapts well to any environment. These are found in nearly all habitats but their larval food source is Mallow. Look for them in disturbed areas along roadsides, especially on any of the pad roads off of Oil Field Road.
Reakirt’s Blue, at right, is common throughout Texas and northward into Oklahoma and Kansas. Its range extends somewhat westward but is primarily found in the center of the country. It is in the family of Gossamer-winged butterflies and is easily identified by the four dark spots on its forewing. As with many hairstreaks and blues, look for these anywhere Frog Fruit and other low flowers grow, including along the Auto Tour.
Another western blue is the Marine Blue, at right. These are found from Texas to California, but
since Hagerman NWR is near the eastern edge of their range, they are not always seen. However, they are far from rare and it’s worth a close look at every small grayish butterfly to see how many varieties you can find. As with most hairstreaks and blues, the pad roads are good places to look, where low flowers are abundant.
The strikingly colored Great Purple Hairstreak, shown at left, is also a Gossamer-winged butterfly, although it could never be mistaken for its gray cousins. It is only found in the south, from coast to coast, because its larval host is Mistletoe. Look up in the trees to catch a glimpse of one laying her eggs.
Laurie Sheppard is a Texas Master Naturalist and regular blogger for Friends of Hagerman.
Please note: Butterfly Garden Walks are set for August 19, September 2, 16, and 30 - AND - October 14 is Butterfly Day at Hagerman NWR, a full day of butterfly themed activities, talks and more!
Coral Honeysuckle, August Plant of the Month
By Nancy Cushion
Visitors to the Butterfly Garden at Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge can relax in the shady small pergola at the back of the garden. The shade is provided by a native vine, Lonicera sempervirens, or Coral Honeysuckle. Other common names for L. sempervirens are woodbine, trumpet honeysuckle, red honeysuckle, and evergreen honeysuckle.
Coral honeysuckle is a smooth, twining evergreen vine bearing dark, shiny green leaves which are white on the lower surface. The upper pair of leaves are fused together, just below the flower cluster. The tubular or trumpet shaped corolla occurs in whorls of four to six blossoms. They are usually red outside and orange inside, or rarely, all orange or yellow. Red to green twining stems fade to gray with a shreddy texture when mature. Clusters of red berries mature in September to October. Ornamentally, coral honeysuckle is well suited to climb on a fence or trellis, it is evergreen through most of Texas, and often blooms in January and sporadically throughout the growing season March to June to attract pollinators.
Coral honeysuckle is a native of East Texas and much of the eastern U.S.; the plant apparently tolerates a wide variety of soils, and once established, it requires very little, if any, watering. It is wide ranging from Connecticut to Florida, west through the south and midwest to Nebraska. For those wanting to incorporate this attractive native into their home landscape, this vine is widely available at local nurseries.
Coral honeysuckle is a larval host for the Snowberry Clearwing Moth (shown above) and Spring Azure butterfly (shown below) and is also a nectar source for butterflies and hummingbirds.
Spring Azure Butterfly (Celastrina "ladon")
