According to Roman historian Pliny the Elder, worn metal statues from regions that the Roman Empire conquered were torn down and sent to Rome. Pliny also discusses the reuse of scrap copper and scrap reuse facilities. Brindisi, an Italian port city for melting and recasting foundries, was located at the terminus of the Appian Way, the portal into eastern parts of the Roman Empire.

Scrap metal and statues commemorating ancient gods and heroes were melted down and recast as weapons, armor, and objects for personal use (i.e. bronze mirrors).

One can argue that this ancient bronze recycling trade was founded primarily on political reasons rather than economical ones. As the Roman Empire expanded throughout the Mediterranean world, the areas under Roman control needed to be secured using a psychological tactic — the statues of idols that the conquered people had been attached to would be removed from all the public squares and agoras.

Tofu Melt Spagetti
(a yummy protein packed vegetarian pasta favorite)

 As a mom of 2 always hungery growing boys, I never stop getting creative on how to fill them up with a healthyvegetarian kid appealing meal.

Almost any family eats spagetti, and most families I bet eat it at least once a month. It’s an easy main course

that seems to always satisfy. Growing up in a meat eating household my mothers awesome spagetti sauce consisted of

a pound of ground beef, some diced mushrooms, onions and green peppers in the traditional spagetti sauce. I haven’t

used beef in my spagetti sauce in a long time. I usually just go to the health food store and buy a can of my

favorite organic meat free sauce and add peppers and mushrooms or other veggies. It was good, but I wanted to make

it more.

In place of the pound of beef my mother used to use, I chose extra firm tofu and added a half pound of mild cheddar

cheese. It was really just that simple. 

It was a wonderful twist on the same old spagetti.If you have any cheese lovers in your family, they will love

this! The cheese changes the flavor, and texture of the sauce just slightly. It reduces the acid level of the sauce

from the tomatoes too I found. I bet this would be wonderful baked!

You will need:

1 package of tofu

1 box of whole grain spagetti noodles

mushrooms and 1 green pepper chopped, or other veggies (optional)

Jar of meat free spagetti sauce (your favorite flavor or I use roasted garlic), or your own signature sauce if you

make your own.

1 tbsp of oil

1 tsp of basil

Some parmesean cheese (optional)

In a pan or skillet, sautee your veggies.

Cook the noodles until done (do not over cook), and pour them into a large bowl. Add your tablespoon of oil to the

noodles and stir in. This helps keep them from sticking together. Set it aside.
Next in a medium pot add your tofu and cook on medium for about a min or two while breaking it up. Then add your

sauce, and veggies.

Now take your block of cheese (or bag if you have one) and shred it or cut it (if you don’t happen to have a grate)

over the sauce. Stir the sauce frequently to reduce popping and sticking and to help blend the melted cheese.

Once the cheese is melted it’s ready to serve. Sprinkle your parmesean and basil on top if you haven’t already added it in.

Enjoy and Be Well

*Vegetarian is defined as a meat free  (animal cruelty free) diet mostly containing plant or live foods, sometimes with or without dairy and eggs* Many Variations of vegetarianism include may include fish, and/or poultry on occasian. However it is important to remember that the Vegetarian Society does not recognize those alternate variations of vegetarianism, although many people still consider it vegetarian.  Vegan is a diet completely plant or live food based and contains no diary, eggs, poultry, fish or meat.

Whenever I’m alone with you

o mejor dicho “Bingo!”

he encontrado este video de la canción… y ya me sobran las palabras porque dice solo lo que me transmite cada vez que la escucho. Y para colmo… el Johny. 

(¿Quien ha escondido las fregonas?) :p

When you were here before
Couldn’t look you in the eye
You’re just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You’re so fucking special

But I’m a creep
I’m a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don’t belong here

I don’t care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice when I’m not around
You’re so fucking special
I wish I was special

But I’m a creep
I’m a weirdo
What the hell I’m doing here?
I don’t belong here

She’s running out again
She’s running out
She runs runs runs

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You’re so fucking special
I wish I was special

But I’m a creep
I’m a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don’t belong here
I don’t belong here

Okay, I know this is Martha Stewart-ish. But, I can’t be the only one wondering how to use up those little slivers. Well, there’s a vid about it, so obviously not. Yay, YouTube!

One tip I’ll mention in addition to this vid is something I read online: to grate the soap beforehand. I believe it ensures a smoother end product.

We lit a nice fire today, I nearly melted my face and my camera taking this picture, is it possible to melt a camera so fast?

So tell me, what’s your favourite thing about Winter?

Just finished giving Munchkin his bedtime feed. His tummy is a little upset these days so he was having a little cry to himself.
Then he did something so beautiful, so wonderous, so special. He put his little baby arms around my neck for a cuddle. He snuggled right in, stopped crying and fell asleep.

My heart has just melted like a scoop of mint sorbet on a hot august afternoon but oh, twice as sweet.

5 years ago, I walk into the field of architecture with my best skill of artist and my proud knowledge from Mahidol Wittayanusorn school of science. I did not expect anything from this field, but I thought that architecture should have been the easiest way to graduate. Not so long time ago, my meaning of “Architecture” was changed. I saw many under-constructional areas around my village. Those places had been farm before, but then, they were just the surface of concrete and concrete housing.

Thailand is considered as a perfect country which its land can grow almost kinds of agricultural plants, and has a vast area of forest. King Bhumibol Adulyadej has kept teaching people to head to develop agriculture instead of industrial. Thailand is already good at agriculture, but Thai people just need to make it better and greater. Only less number of capitalists can hear what the King says. They have changed green lands to be nongreen buildings to make a lot of money. My family has been one of foolish people who stepped into their traps. 1997, when I was 10 years old, my family moved to their housing, which built on top of a lotus farm. Many city people love to move out from the crowd areas into suburban housing. They escape from traffic-jam streets and high-pollution air. Most of them have to have their own cars to use in rush hour to go to work in the city. They waste the gas/benzine and also waste the material to make the cars.

The happy life with fresh air could not stay with the city people in suburban so long. When the capitalists invested in malls or supermarkets around those housings, the peaceful areas became the expanded city. The air and noise pollution came into the place. The time to move has come again then. The green areas have been destroyed very fast around many cities in Thailand, such as Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Songkla. Most capitalists do not do a green design, because they just want to pay less. They put a beautiful picture of house with a big grass field on the advertising board. We call those boards, “Air Junk”, because they hide all scenery and wind. People pay for those advertising housing projects before seeing the real houses. Most of real-estate projects in Thailand, people need to pay for every step to build a house, not pay for a finished house. The results that they get are small green areas, because most of green areas are cut to be the main circulation of the project, and that is made by concrete.

The expansion of the city may be a good economic sign in the business term or for the government, but in fact, it is a sign of disaster for environment and for an agriculture country as Thailand. The houses, buildings and factory keep releasing heat and toxic into the natural resources. They do not only hurt the nature by themselves, but they are also harmful for the agriculture areas around. Thai Government announced that rain of all province was not drinkable, because it contained very toxic substance. Although the toxic makers are in the city, the toxic can spread around many places, covering the tropical jungle area in Nakornsritummarach, the north east of Thailand.

Cathleen McGuigan wrote on NewWeek.com under a topic of “The Bad News About Green Architecture” about the unpleasantness in the design of green building. She described that the green buildings work so good by themselves, but people still have to drive to work. In my opinion, moral is more important than an object. One Bryant Park has a system of recapturing rainwater which is good, but many people who do not pay for the water bill will never think about saving the water. For example, many women always turn on the tap when they are doing their hair in public restrooms, and many men liked to do that when they are shaving. I have visited a company that my parent worked with, and I saw the janitor turn on all taps in the restroom at the same time to clean an individual sink. Moreover, he spilled some detergent on the restroom floor, and he used whole roll of paper towel to absorb it, then he threw that roll away. Paper is made by the trees. If only people waste and kind of material, that is the way they waste the energy, because all manufacture processes have to use the energy. This mean many people cannot change their attitude, if the results do not impact them directly. If we can change their habits, the world will be able to save the energy by this method more than the green design many times.

Not only the gray water system that One Bryant Park has, it also has air-condition ventilator on the floor. Most of buildings in the world have air-condition on the ceiling, which is far from human living space. What One Bryant Park does should be so good during the winter, because people love to feel hotter at their feet and feel colder at their heads.

Green design is enjoyable as people love to hang out in the park. People like the sun rather than a electric bulb. I always cheer the green design, but we have to accept that there is no building in the world can be 100% green. Although the big window can save the electricity used in bulb, the building also lose its heat in the winder through the window about 30 times bigger than the wall. If the office loves to use air-condition so much, the big window can also heat the interior up as the system of greenhouse effect. The better way to save the energy during the summer is using fans and open windows instead of air-condition, but it is still the problem for the offices in the high pollution areas.

Narita Airport Facade, photo by Sw Eden on Flickr

One of the towers of K Bank (Kasikorn) in Thailand uses a special kind of glass for their facade. Its glass does not create greenhouse effect as other towers do. The color of its glasses seems white and can reflect the light very well. It is not dark color that will absorb the heat into the glass itself. Considering about the north pole, Greenland and the south pole, they are not only the cold place to keep the world cold, but they are also big white areas to reflect the heat out from the world. I tried to say that the colors of facade and rooftop are very important, too.

I went to Japan accidentally when the flight to USA was delayed. Narita Airport sent Thai people into its hotel for one night. It was winter at that time. We could not make a far trip, because we did not have Japanese visas. I walked to see its swimming pool. It was surprising me that it was covered by half-sphere glasses, and the water was one of the glass’ layers. The temperature was quite fine. The water can act better than the gas or air space actually. If you are a Bible reader and you can remember the Great Flood (Noah’s Ark), the water was from the sky and that means the planet earth had been surrounded by the water. The water can prevent many kinds of rays from the universe and the sun, and it acts very well in this Japanese swimming pool. The Bible also shows that after the Great Flood, humans’ ages were reduces from 800 to be less than 100 years old. Humans’ genes began to have mistake, because the water-atmosphere was destroyed. Brother and sister could not marry anymore after that time.

For the case of using gray water in flush toilets, I cannot say that the toxic rain may destroy the toilet, and the owners may need to pay more to repair whole things. I had talked with a ship owner when I went to at the south ocean of Thailand. I asked him for the reason that he still used tab water for flush toilets in the ship, because he could get salt water from the sea very easily. He told me that salt water had destroyed his flush toilets before. I cannot fully believe in his words, when I think about how much pH in human’s urine comparing with pH in salt water. The rainwater should not have less pH than human’s urine, too. That’s mean using gray water may be good enough to be considered as a part of green design.

The Gherkin Building in London should be praised, especially its system of natural air ventilation which is created by the tower’s aerodynamic form and ‘double skin’ facade (Hannah Bullock, http://www.forumforthefuture.org.uk, 2003). Moreover it support the biking people by its bicycle service.

For car industry, many new electricity cars were produced, because people believe that using the electric city is better for environment rather that using benzene. If they consider about electricity producing process, both types of cars are not much different. Most electricity is from coal factory outside the city. To use electricity cars is only move the pollution in the city to outside the city. All still heat up the world.

To get a clear energy may cost higher at the first installing, but it works very well in long term and it is also good to the world, too. The words that pop-up in your head should be solar, wind and water from dam. We can also think about other cheaper things to install, such as roof pond and water coil on the roof to make hot water for hot country.

Dams are something truly green, although they do not look green. A dam does not only produce a lot of electricity, but it can be the biggest green project in the world. Although the government have to destroy a lot of forest area to make a dam and the concrete surface can heat up the temperature around, the dam can keep the water to serve people all year long. When people have water to use, especially for agriculture, they will create the evergreen lands around the rivers, because the rivers have never dried. The places that had been desert during the summer time, the dams can make it to be evergreen territory for whole year. I visited many dams in Thailand during my vacations. The weather was quite hot, especially on the highest part of the dams. People cannot stand without umbrellas in the sunny day. I looked into the town side, and I was very impressed. All territory was green with banana and rice farms. That dam is, “Kun-Dan” Dam (เขื่อนขุนด่าน) in Nakorn Nayok.

เขื่อนขุนด่าน Kun-Dan Dam, photo by Sw Eden on Flickr

I was in a seminar of Dr. Smith Dharmasaroja with other Silpakorn University professors and students in 2008. Dr. Smith explained about the disaster from the dam in the north part of the world. He said that that the current planet earth was just like a feeble spinning top with 23 degree leaning, and if people kept making dams above the equator, the earth would be end faster. Most of the lands on the earth are above the equator, so most of the dams will be above equator, too. This may be real, but I cannot fully believe it, because I cannot know if the south part of the world is exact the below part of the spinning top. The words, “North Pole” and “South Pole” are only what humans used to call for representation. (The first map was made by European, so they would love to show themselves on the North.) If we do not consider about what Dr. Smith said, the dam is still not so useful in many ways as I mentioned before.

I also have another reason to support that the south pole can be the top part of the world, if the world acts like a spinning top. Generally, we know that a biggest ozone hole is at the south pole, and the air of south pole is the lowest moisture air in the world (like the desert air). That mean the south pole does not have much of substance in atmosphere. If we notice the hurricane which acts in the same way, we will see the cloudless space at the eye of hurricane, which is the top part of it. That is the reason that I guess that the south pole is the real top side of the world. You can simply test this method at home. You just have a bowl of water with some sand or dust in it, and then you stir the water around; you will see the dust crowd at the bottom, and the water is hollow at the top when you are stirring.

NASA already found the water on the moon. It also loves to research the Mar. That means humans are looking for new places to live. Why don’t they want to make the world better rather than being hopeless to keep the world green. We cannot stop people who cut the trees down. We cannot stop people who burn the forest. We cannot stop people who keep punching the holes at the north pole for their ice testings (the ice melts faster if the bigger surface touch the water). We cannot stop people who consume everything wastefully. The results are bigger and stronger hurricanes and toxic. Finally, their acts just kill other innocent people who may have never hurt the world.

It is no slightest doubt that everyone in India has experienced what really is global warming. The average temperatures have gone up in the last few summers, and even the winters and rainy seasons are showing abnormalities from their behaviors over the last few years. Indeed, this is ‘global weirding’ or rather ‘climate crisis’ that would define the thing better.

But, what really caused global warming? Industrial revolution for one, heavy pollution caused by it another and there might be numerous such reasons. But, how do we know that we have landed in a state of global warming? Of course, anyone who has experienced summer in any part of India would know better. But, any symptoms that would convince the rational mind? Yes, in fact there are many. If you haven’t seen Al Gore’s documentary, ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ you must watch it once. I would rate it 5 stars, as it is a must watch for everyone today. From the official website of An Inconvenient Truth by Al Gore, I could get some science behind this. The symptoms are listed below and are sourced from the website climatecrisis.net (official website of An Inconvenient Truth). Do visit the website, it has a good music track played once the website is accessed. Other initiatives from Al Gore are the website of WeCanSolveIt, TakePart, RepowerAmerica.

Carbon dioxide and other gases warm the surface of the planet naturally by trapping solar heat in the atmosphere. This is a good thing because it keeps our planet habitable. However, by burning fossil fuels such as coal, gas and oil and clearing forests we have dramatically increased the amount of carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere and temperatures are rising.

The vast majority of scientists agree that global warming is real, it’s already happening and that it is the result of our activities and not a natural occurrence.¹ The evidence is overwhelming and undeniable.

We’re already seeing changes. Glaciers are melting, plants and animals are being forced from their habitat, and the number of severe storms and droughts is increasing.

I’m completely immersed in the MELT method right now and so excited about the groundbreaking opportunities is provides for self-care!  I know I sound like a Moonie but if you know me you know I’m totally not a joiner so for me to get excited about something it has to be really – exciting!  And I have to believe in it 100%.  Until I get more savvy about using my blog (will it ever happen?) please visit my MELT page and follow the link to Sue Hitzmann’s page where everything you ever wanted to know is located.

As for yoga – well, in this highly competive and yoga saturated city I feel thankful to have some teaching work in a small studio in the Grammercy Park area.  What’s great about it is that it’s small classes and I get to do what I like best, which is TEACH PEOPLE NOT POSES!

Me on the MELT soft roller

i ease into your embrace. your touch stills me. all distractions melt into your smile. that i wear on my lips. a gentle sway and more of you is me. insides matching outsides. and we arrive.

Brushfire fairytales Itsy bitsy diamond wells Big fat hurricanes Yellow bellied given names Well shortcuts can slow you down And in the end we’re bound To rebound off of we Well dust off your thinking caps Solar powered plastic plants Pretty pictures of things we ate We are only what we hate But in the long run we have found Silent films are full of sound Inaudibly free Slow down everyone You’re moving too fast Frames can’t catch you when You’re moving like that Inaudible melodies Serve narrational strategies Unobtrusive tones Help to notice nothing but the zone Of visual relevancy Frame-lines tell me what to see Chopping like an axe and Maybe Eisenstein should just relax Slow down everyone You’re moving too fast Frames can’t catch you when You’re moving like that Well Plato’s cave is full of freaks Demanding refunds for the things they’ve seen I wish they could believe In all the things that never made the screen And just slow down everyone You’re moving too fast Frames can’t catch you when You’re moving like that Slow down everyone You’re moving too fast Frames can’t catch you when You’re moving like that Moving Too….

Estávamos comentando el otro dia con mi hermana que parece mentira que una canción cuando la escuchas te pueda transmitir un montón de sensaciones agradables… y sin embargo te paras a prestarle atención a la letra y es como un jarro de agua fría, por no decir otra cosa. ;p

Me sigue encantando la canción, y me consolaré pensando que al final del videoclip de la versión comercial parece que la chica le escupe en la cara y le dan su merecido. ^^ (parecen súcubos)

Melt, le bottiglie sciolte di Agnieszka Bar

Dagli errori nascono le idee migliori, non lo diciamo noi per primi di certo. Nel caso delle bottiglie Melt della designer polacca Agnieszka Bar non sappiamo se l’idea di fondere la base di bottiglie di vetro del tutto comuni sia nata da un errore oppure no.

Se sia stato un caso fortuito oppure l’intenzione precisa di riprodurre un processo, il risultato finale sono delle bottiglie che ingannano l’occhio e istintivamente lasciano immaginare al tatto qualcosa di morbido e caldo. È solo un’illusione, un gioco per la vista, la vera intenzione di Agnieszka Bar.

“The snows of Kilimanjaro may soon be gone. The African mountain’s white peak — made famous by writer Ernest Hemingway — is rapidly melting”

WASHINGTON – Some 85 percent of the ice that made up the mountaintop glaciers in 1912 was gone by 2007, researchers led by paleoclimatologist Lonnie Thompson of Ohio State University report in Tuesday’s edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
And more than a quarter of the ice present in 2000 was gone by 2007.

The snows capping Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's tallest peak, are shrinking rapidly and could vanish altogether in 20 years,

If current conditions continue “the ice fields atop Kilimanjaro will not endure,” the researchers said.

The Kilimanjaro glaciers are both shrinking, as the ice at their edges melts, and thinning, the researchers found.

Similar changes are being reported at Mount Kenya and the Rwenzori Mountains in Africa and at glaciers in South America and the Himalayas.

“The fact that so many glaciers throughout the tropics and subtropics are showing similar responses suggests an underlying common cause,” Thompson said in a statement. “The increase of Earth’s near surface temperatures, coupled with even greater increases in the mid- to upper-tropical troposphere, as documented in recent decades, would at least partially explain” the observations.

Changes in cloudiness and snowfall may also be involved, though they appear less important, according to the study.

One of a growing number of isolated remnants of ice spires that were once full glaciers in the crater of Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa.

On Kilimanjaro, the researchers said, the northern ice field thinned by 6.2 feet (1.9 meters) and the southern ice field by 16.7 feet (5.1 meters) between 2000 and 2007.

Researchers compared the current area covered by the glaciers with maps of the glaciers based on photographs taken in 1912 and 1953 and satellite images from 1976 and 1989.

The research was funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
