Depois de algum tempo, você aprende a diferença sutil entre segurar a mão de alguém e escravizar uma alma, aprende que amor não significa dependência e companhia não significa segurança, que beijos não são contratos e presentes não são promessas, passa a aceitar os seus defeitos com a cabeça erguida e os olhos abertos, com a elegância de um adulto, não com o pesar de uma criança.

Aprende a abrir todos os seus caminhos hoje porque o futuro é muito incerto para fazer planos.

Aprende a que até mesmo a luz solar queima se você se expuser muito.

Então plante seu próprio jardim e embeleze a sua própria alma, em vez de esperar que alguém traga-lhe flores.

E você aprende que realmente pode resistir…

Que é forte, e tem valor

FARM VILLE

la manera mas secilla de subir de niv el en farm ville es hacer lo siguiente:
1.-trata de conseguir las medallas (ribons) que puedas
2.-ten muchos vecinos
3.-crece tu terreno lo mas rapido que puedas
4.-no compres cosas y ahorra, cuando tengas varios millones te los gastas y vas a ver como subes 5 o 6 niveles de golpe

5.-usa para sembrar el mayor campo de tu granja que puedas
6.-solo siembra cosechas que te den 2 de experiencia y que puedas cultivarlas 1 dia despues (las uvas y los girasoles son las mejores)
7.- visita diario a todos tus amigos y fertiliza sus cosechas

Con estos consejos en menos de un mes llegaras al nivel 31 o 34 de cero en un mes.

Raywood Ash (Fraxinus oxycarpa ‘Raywood’), has purple-red autumn color and highly divided lanceolate leaflets. It’s overall color stands out against a stormy sky.

Notable characteristics:

• moderate sized (35 ft tall by 25 ft wide)
• fast-growing
• native to Mediterranean, member of Oleaceae (olive family)
• tolerant of hot summers
• no pests reported

Bueno, pues hoy voy a hablar de esta planta que hoy está un poco olvidada. Resulta que la raíz se considera medicinal ya que tiene propiedades antiespasmódicas, calmantes, béquicas, diuréticas, emenagogas, emolientes, expectorantes y sudoríficas. Resulta muy útil para las afecciones inflamatorias del estomago, para ña hepatitis crónica,  la cirrosis hepática, catarros y faringitis.

Pues al enterarme de todo esto fui a buscar un poco. Lo deje en una bolsa cerrada (iva comiendo de vez en cuando) en la que se puso mucha humedad.

Y ayer busque un poco y me encontre las barritas de 4×1cm con raíces.

Entonces surgió la idea de cultivar regaliz, y estoy probando técnicas para que los palitos desarrollen raíces rápidamente.

Los interesados en detalles que me envíen un mensaje y cuando descubra el método más eficaz se lo envío.

La pena es que hoy en día la gente conoce el regaliz de una manera diferente (por las gominolas, chicles, caramelos, etc) pero la mejor manera de tomarlo es chupando el palo.

A Little History

Cahors is a wine growing region in the Southwest of France, that takes its name from the town Cahors, with a vinous tradition stretching back 18 centuries. When those vineplanters par excellence, the Romans, arrived in the area it was populated by Celtic tribes that were enthusiastic consumers of beer. These same Celtic tribes also gave to the world the barrel which continues to be a winemaking aid to this day. From these beginnings Cahors has forged a solid reputation for itself in every way. The wines produced from the main varietal, Malbec, have always been prized for their keeping abilities, their rustic charm and their solid tannins. Down through the ages Cahors’ wines have been prized in England, Nordic countries and in Russia. Pope John XXIII brought the vignerons from his native Cahors to Châteauneuf to improve the quality of the vineyards in the area and in the Crimea there is a cultivar named Caorske and a type of wine called Kagor, which was a type of must-heated wine.

Change of Eras

The history of the area was much perturbed as were the vast majority of wine producing regions by the Pylloxera louse. This tiny creature with a complex life-cycle was and still is a serious pest that feeds on the roots of Vitis Vinifera vines i.e 98% of the world’s wine producing vines. When first diagnosed  many solutions were proposed, from excommunication to flooding the vines. The louse was originally from North America and the native vines had developped resistance to the louse. It was thus decided to graft a European scion, the fruiting part, onto an American rootstock and presto the problem was solved.  This allowed wine production to continue but unfortunately many wines were of low quality with gigantic yields being produced. In the 1950’s it was decided to ressurect the traditional type of tannic long-lived wine that had given the region fame. The vine material being used was different, that of Argentina is closer to the pre-Phylloxera Malbec, and the resultant wine is different.

Modern Cahors

Cahors had become a wine of legend and to ressurect a wine would take some work but there were some determined souls. Under the impetus of a newly formed cooperative and with the established domaines the Cahors’ vineyard now has some 400 growers. There are roughly 200 contracted growers and 200 that bottle their own production. A geographical classification is in place including the following; first, second and third terraces then high terrace,all rising up the valley sides, and finally the plateau.The wines vary in style being made from Malbec, Merlot, Tannat and Jurançon Noir with the latter two cultivars covering very little of the 4,000 hectares (10,000 acres) of vines. Malbec must compose at least 70% of every wine and most producers will have an entry-level wine composed of Malbec and Merlot whilst the top bottling will very often be 100% Malbec with some oak-aging involved.  There are now many different styles of Cahors available reflecting the better   understanding of grape production and winemaking techniques. The vines grown on old alluvial soils give deeper richer wines and as we follow the terraces upwards the wines become nervier and more tense with fresher fruit and more apparent acidity although this does not preclude wines that resemble some wines from heavier soils.

Whites, Rosés and Vins de Pays

Growers have now become more market oriented and the recent production of rosé and white wine is evidence of this. The rosés produced were made from Malbec, as many still are, a cultivar not traditionally suited to delicate rosés. New techniques have made fresh, fruity rosés the norm with Ségalin and Merlot also being used. White wines have perhaps been the best surprise with good wines being made from Viognier, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Chenin Blanc. Vins de Pays, a category created in the 1970’s, is being used much more for varietal wines. In this instance it is Vins de Pays du Lot that allows growers to offer a range of well-made varietal wine using Malbec and Merlot and the previously named whites. An interesting departure has been the use of the cultivar name on labels of Appellation Controlée wines, the highest grading in the French system, in this case placing Malbec prominently on the label. This is an effort to give Cahors an international identity simplifying the buying decision for people used to clear information on a label.

Remédio contra H1N1

Picea orientalis ‘Skylands’ is a majestic golden colored  spruce tree. One of its desirable features is that it begins to set cones at a fairly young age. The purplish red cones,  both, female and male, add real color contrast and interest against the golden yellow foliage of this beautiful tree.

One of the advantages of a tree with prolific annual cone formation is that thousands and thousands of seed may be collected and germinated. Iseli Nursery began germinating  seed collected from the two large specimens of ‘Skylands’  located in the Jean Iseli Memorial Garden in the early  1990’s. Literally thousands of seeds have been carefully  planted, germinated and observed ever since.

Picea orientalis 'Skylands' and one of its offspring

Naturally, when growing thousands of conifer seedlings,  some variation will be apparent. Some of the seedlings  appear almost identical to the parent cultivar with similar foliage color and rate of growth. Others may have a  tendency to be more green in color or even have a faster, more open habit than the original. What Iseli is looking for though are plants with a more compact form,  more intense  golden yellow color, resistance to foliar sunburn, resistance to pests, etc.

Over the years, selections with the best characteristics are made for continued observation. From time to time, some of the lesser seedlings are made available to collectors who  may begin to propagate and distribute them as new cultivars. Meanwhile, back at the nursery, the folks at Iseli continue the evaluation process until one or two seedlings with extraordinary characteristics are chosen for production. Cuttings from those few selected new cultivars are then propagated and the inventory of those selections begins to expand. Eventually, those new cultivars are given names  and made available to the retail market.

One of those original seedlings from back in the early ’90’s  is coming very close to that final stage right now. Currently referred to as Picea orientalis ‘Skylands’ [#1 Seedling], this  new cultivar is truly exciting!

‘Skylands’ [#1 Seedling] is a much more compact grower  than its mother growing just 4-6 inches per year instead of  the 12″+ annual growth rate of ‘Skylands’. The new cultivar  also has brighter, lemon yellow foliage on densely clothed  branches forming a compact golden pyramid. I suspect this  small tree will grow tall in time but should remain  comparatively narrow.

The photo above shows both the “mother” and “child” growing near one another in the garden at Iseli. The ‘Skylands’ in the  background is just over 30 feet tall at perhaps 35 years old,  while [#1 Seedling] is nearly 42 inches tall at 17 years.  Seedlings tend to grow more slowly in their younger years and as they begin to mature, their annual  growth rate stabilizes.

#1 selected 'Skylands' seedling

I am looking forward to this outstanding new cultivar being named and made available to the retail market. I know several people that feel they don’t have room in their gardens for ‘Skylands’. When they see this new cultivar, they will jump at the chance to have its bright golden foliage and compact form highlight a special place in their own landscape.

Este João Villaret era muito bom na arte de declamar … quase que tenho um orgasmo a ouvir isto …
Cenas de gajo – que gosta de se cultivar um pouco e gosta das mais diversas formas de arte!

Hay quien dice que vivir es como habitar en un campo de cultivo, otros se decantan por lo esencial de la vida cotidiana, unos terceros consideran que lo más importante es ser tu mismo y hacer lo que más te guste, y todos comparten que hay que hacerlo todo en equilibrio.

Crear un hábito que genera mal karma es más fácil de hacer cuando no cultivamos nuestro ser, nos dedicamos a aspirar más allá de la vida cotidiana (soñar con el futuro, anhelar el pasado ,etc.) y envidiar a otras personas, ya sea por su forma de ser o por sus pertenencias…de forma que esto nos provoca una vivencia en un estado negativo del ser que nos hace horrosamente disponibles para la infelicidad.

En cualquier caso, escuché que mi muerte iba a ser horrorosa…a no ser, que me dedicara a entrar en el ataúd, morir aquí y ahora…y fluir compartiendo el verdadero sentido de la vida…sea cual fuere en ese momento jaaja

Entrar en la línea de acción verdadera tiene mucho de crear buen karma, esto es, como la respiración, natural, el fluir normal con el todo…

no puedes atrapar la felicidad sin embargo puedes permitir que esta te atrape a ti y para ello basta con ser normal

La comunidad es una de las raices que ennoblece la belleza de nuestra identidad.

La comunidad, son los otros, la familia, la escuela, amigos, conocidos. Una comunidad no vive con  armonia sin valores. Valores que debemos alimentar y cultivar; pues la mentalidad del mundo tiene muchos elementos tòxicos de donde bebemos.

La comunidad es el otro,  el que me hiere, me lastima, pero tambien aquel que me salva con sus palabras o acciones.

La relaciòn de la comunidad debe ser de afecto, amistad y cariño.

Es bueno tomarse unos minutos en el anàlisis; que gano o que pierdo en mi relaciòn con los demàs.Esto me da una oportunidad de saber los medios pobres que debo enriquecer personalmente y los medios ricos que puedo compartir para la alimentaciòn de los valores comunitarios.

En las relaciones con otras personas o con solo una hay funciones, tareas, contratos. Entre algunos criterios, reglas de juego, derechos y deberes.

En las relaciones sociales hay reglas de juego que deben ser eternas para que la energia de la armonia fluya y se  adquiera el sabor de la felicidad.

Recomendaciones a practicar:

1. Yo soy lo que yo hago
2. Yo soy lo que yo practico
3. Yo soy lo que yo me hago

La pràctica se necesita autenticar, ya que el ser humano tiene tendencia al estancamiento y al encierro. Autenticar es leer la pràctica comprendiendo por dentro, tomando posiciòn de ella.

1. Yo soy dueña de mis pensamientos
2. Me debo dejar llevar por la vida
3. Yo soy el conjunto de experiencias que tengo
4. Yo soy el conjunto de problemas que tengo
5. Yo soy el conjunto de sueños que tengo
6. Yo soy el conjunto de aspiraciones que tengo.

A menina passava o tempo esperando chegar sua grande inspiração.

Até perceber que uma grande árvore é antes uma pequena semente.

Tudo o que ela fez desde então, foi regar e cultivar as pequenas inspirações, que surgiam tímidas em sua mente.

Pois havia entendido que eram elas que renderiam bons frutos mais tarde.
