Dry Clean Glider Cushion

Hortichuela-Stove-Barranco Aceral-Inmates-Star Vereda de la Mata



Once again we are back to Vereda de la Estrella.

Almost all know this area well because you have walked by it countless times, either because I have already spoken of the route a few weeks ago, is a gateway to the mountains frequented by all sorts of people: easy access by car to the very precipice of San Juan and comfort of this trail make it a sort of "highway" for walkers and country lovers of all stripes, that in certain Sundays in spring and autumn collapse, at least in the early stages.


In a very comfortable and gradual, is going up alongside the upper reaches of the river Genil (one of the three rivers of Granada city and one of the main tributaries del Guadalquivir), until we stop at the confluence of the rivers and Valdeinfiernos Valdecasillas, where you can say "born". At that point of the confluence is called Real, and downstream, to join it Guarnón the river begins to call Genil.


-circular-route today was long and looks something durum, as of 25 walkers who started in the morning, we reached the final 15 ... the rest have been abandoned and turning around at different places along the road. Here we are just in time to start at this point in the village of that in the first 200 meters has some steep ramps, but then becomes practically flat horizontal and almost the entire journey.

GPS
According to colleagues, the gap has hovered around the 25 kms (about marking something more and other slightly less), and cumulative altitude along the route of 1300 m . (In this matched all). A colleague has given me the profile and map of the route, for those interested in you you had it. So there are ...!


Then we left the Vereda de la Estrella and taken to the right rising to Hortichuela area and leads, among some woods of oak, to the farmhouse of the Stove, from before the ruins of the farmhouse and Cabins Old Hole. This part is wonderful because it has a great view (when there are no clouds ....) of the highest peaks of Sierra Nevada.






El Cortijo del Stove is abandoned, but restored, and the houses are open. Many hikers use them to spend the night in very cold weather, the place is lovely views of several of the most emblematic summits Sierra Nevada: the Alcazaba, Mulhacén (now not seen for the clouds), the strut Vacares ...
Right here we have a paradilla regrouping and have already left the first companions, before the route is too complicate.


Closer look better to us all .... I'm in a corner giving torture the puppy that has been with us today: Cashew.


A little above the farmhouse is a stone pond that accumulates water used at home and for irrigation is so beautiful it's worth it ... is veais fencing, I guess not to drop any animal (here amok mountain goats, but cows and more animals I guess I do not know ...).

From the Oven
have fallen rapidly to Vereda de la Estrella resume again, and soon reach Guarnón ravine, a river that is generated in the Corrales del Veleta and plunges (literally) by a very steep ravine along 5 kms in an almost straight line to its confluence with the Genil. On a clear day is impressive to see the full down river from the yard, with the vane crowning the ravine. Today, with the clouds .... but good is always beautiful.

Following

always parallel to the river upstream from this point is no longer called Genil, but Real, and the Star Lane also at this point, many call the Camino Real ... a few minutes of this river crossing we found the ruins of the mines in the Star, giving name to the Trail; of them pulled out a green stone called serpentine, but are in disuse since the 50 twentieth century because they were not very profitable.


The trail passes through the ruins and is now up a little to surround the base of the hill of the boats, until we finally left at the confluence of the rivers and Valdeinfiernos Valdecasillas, which together form the Real. Here are formed in late winter and spring many waterfalls from melting, and these rivers increase their wealth so that it becomes impossible to cross them (without getting into the water, of course)


This Place Finishes "officially" the path of the Star, from here you can make a series of grueling climbs, everything must be said, the most representative peaks of Sierra Nevada.
And again, it either turns around and retrace all the way or complicated one and climb up to find Aceral Trail, after a climb that gets it done ...
At this point another group of peers has decided to return along the same path, the 15 that have been, because of complications, like us.
But first ... you have to cross the river ...! And if possible, without getting wet feet.


The wooden bridge that had led him water, so cross as best you can.


In the photo above is barely noticeable, but just to the left is the beginning (or end, as we see it) of one of the many ravines that are here, this is called Barranco de Lucía. (What a lovely name ...)
In this one looks good:


After reaching the village, up a bit more and llanea a little way to get to shelter the Cockroach, elsewhere emblematic of the area. At our lunch stop, the views were of this caliber:





The trail is flat ground very comfortable, and very pretty, with a views of the upper basin of Guarnón, to the refuge of the Cockroach (some say it is named for the shape of your roof top and black). It is made with wooden bunks, a fireplace and tables and benches for use by mountaineers, but it's a shame it is dirty and untidy inside.


The descent from here to the path of the new Star is by the costs of the Inmates: a rising (or in our case, down) Fuertecillo, but takes less an hour. The name comes because in the past this was part of the road was done with the prisoners who were taken to the galleys from Granada to Almeria, Sierra Nevada to shorten crossing distances.
And finally, back to the beginning: the last part of the Vereda de la Estrella.

About half an hour before the end of the path we are on the "Grandfather", a centennial brown (not far from the only area, this place is full of them) the same side of the road, and is well known by mountaineers and locals, you're part of the folklore of the place, come on. The truth is that seeing so incredibly lush in summer and autumn, with those colors spectacular, is a joy forever.

The time announcing chance of rain, but thankfully not a drop has fallen, and have alternated with light clouds so that as we climbed the steep slopes steeper the clouds blotted out the sun and prevented to spend too much heat, and the lunch we had sunny day face ... in glory.

This route is the most classic of mid-mountain hiking, but while many know her eyes closed, others who pass by this blog and you are not of Granada, for sure with this simple description PLEASURE ... Today
have been taking pictures my compis Concha, Victoria, Antonio, Manolo and Pepe Montenegro.

What Does Veins And Arteries Transmit

Rock-Rock-Valley Hunchback Carialfaquir

How beautiful was the route on Sunday.
Actually all are, but in principle and sheer ignorance of the area, I was not expecting much from this, and I have been a surprise.

addition, long time since we met many an excursion, we were 29. In our club (and I guess the others too ...) is a nucleus formed by the route we all Sundays, there are those who come from time to time, those who come from time to time and Finally, those who see only in meetings and meals, but no longer map out for various reasons ... So, it's always good to encourage more people. Today, of course, has been a partner Rompebotas we felt like a long time and who like Anthony and Mary, will join our group. Welcome, Michael.


Today has been a rutilla (because we have only made a total of 18.5 kms, yes, of continuous up and down) movement, ie, we enter and exit a site other another, but going back to people who have been the starting point: in this case, Vega buds.


In was originally designed as climbing the rock of the Kill (1668 m) and back through the Cueva de las Palomas, Carialfaquir down the valley and the village. But once again, and not cease to be ourselves, have made some changes on the fly, which incidentally have been a good idea. If all that is innovative ...


already on the way up the first hill of the day there have been two groups: one is up in the path he usually stops at the summit, around the Rock and entering through the back, and other we preferred to go for a "spliff" rocky and steep we have found a good site.


For this area there are many goats, which are also very accustomed to people and not afraid although we approach (the animals should be out by feet, because that puts too confidently shot poachers. In some areas of Sierra Nevada are so tame that even come close to give them something to eat, a disaster). They are very wild critters, very free and very dupes.


The climb, a little steep but beautiful, in some places almost on all fours we to go up ... great. Once all the way up we met the rest of the group.

The views from here, 360 degrees at our disposal "lengthy horizons, mountains, plains, rivers, damming of Cubillas ..... the day has been overcast and that has prevented were directamene and outrageous. Still, worthy of admiration. I think not ever get used many times to go to the mountain. When is too old and can not "pull my skin", says Juan Manuel, try to follow up on the sidewalks, and not lose my ability amazement.


everlasting
Sierra Nevada, huge, white, ever so high and visible from where you go, now the clouds appeared ghostly. Pure magic.

The Hunchback Rock here is not too far away ... is that peak twisted in the center of the image. He was screaming that we would see, and of course ... we would not be disappointed ...!

Once at the top of the Penon de la Mata, Juan Manuel our colleague has come up to extend the route up to Humpback Rock, first, and the Cerro Majalijar then we saw in front ... as mentioned the possibility, we have encouraged more immediately and within minutes, and were 17 in the new group !


The architect of the expansion of the route and a great guide today, who knows the area like the palm of your hand. Our club has many members who know all of the mountains and know them by heart, is lucky to have people you can learn so much.

At the top of the Kill Rock are the remains of a Civil War trenches, which incidentally are well preserved, there was strong a group of Republican soldiers for a while. National forces could only stop them by force of bombing by aircraft.


So when we again divided into two groups, our 12 other partners, more formal, we have decided to follow the route planned. Almost immediately we have said goodbye and set in motion to give us time, because otherwise we could do at night around the corner.

Falling Rock the joint, apotheosis so rocky and steep, it was very nice, and then left us at the beginning of the Horcones Trail, which leads directly to the foot of the Hunchback.


the rods could not carry ... at times, even with the teeth we had to grab the rocks to not fall over, slowly but happy to have come down all integers, not ankles crushed and dislocated knees, a drop of more stimulating.

This is the Trail of Horcones; the merits, the Humpback Rock awaits impatiently.


After a climb that had a lot of material, we are all on the hill of the Hunchback, and very near the top and very satisfied with the turn taken by the day without imagine that, below, colleagues who took the original route ........

We have made this photo from below, were watching us from afar ... just the moment to make the two photos, above and this. What a coincidence!

A tironcillo more, and finally the summit of Humpback Rock. Preciosa, as spectacular as the same Penon de la Mata, with views also "up" to the circumstances, what I say ... the pictures speak for themselves.

Again, at the time of the group photo taken above, our compis below, you see they were watching how we were going up, we have returned to immortalize ... in the same time ...!

...... We are up there to see if to zoom in, zoom .....


Yes, here we go ... even the silhouette of the patient blight, which is now almost spent the day running away from me ...!
Padi Thanks to Angus and we have these photos as curious.

Any time of day is good to lay hand to buenazo of blight ...

From the Hunchback, the left is the rock of the Mata: whence we come, what is away ...?


Some of the women's section of the small group of lanzaos (Rosa and Cristina, where were ...?). All efforts are worthwhile when you walk, and you're in the field, and meet new sidewalks, and you see a beautiful place, and you manage to climb to the top of the hills, and watch a chain of mountains and think "I and I have been there and there and there to get ".... Although hard work, once you up the mountain always pays.


For the return, we come down the path of the Pilancones Carialfaquir into the valley, a dense pine forest by the stream running Fardes, very small but absolutely crystal clear water, and we have crossed many times because it will wind through the area. The projected rise to Majalijar have to wait for another time: today there was no time for more.

On the outskirts of the village have agreed with the rest of the group, coming back the other way ... in the bar we had the incidents of the day and have been terminated on Sunday.

Finally, today, and not vary, blight has been behind me from time to time. I think these photos will need to return the face and ask me to please leave him alone. It is so good that I can eat ... poor thing. I really like dogs, and it is he who is "paying", and rather expensive, too.


"Somebody remove this weight off for favooooooooor ...!"


mountain
entries are getting longer and longer because I put lots of pictures. It's so hard to choose between ... I recommend you go in to the club page to see all that do not fit here. And every time we have more photographers! I like to have all at least one picture, today's photojournalists have been Padi, Angus, Antonio, Vicente, Rosa, Pepe Montenegro, Pedro and Manuel.

Thanks to all you know why ....!

How To Connect Dance Dance Revolution Wii



Mental health is an important element of the quality of human life, and maintain that mental health depends on a lot of factors.

One of the threats to mental health is the emergence of stress. Its incidence appears to be gaining momentum, so that has been transforming almost a public health issue. In Chile, the statistics show that of three visits to the emergency services, at least one is due to a stress problem associated with this picture.

companies in the same stress wreaks havoc and is responsible for many medical leave, accidents, low productivity and even lawsuits against companies.

In USA, it is estimated that nearly half of working days lost through sick leave workers must be directly or indirectly to stress.

Stress is insidious, and most times it is masked, for example through physical alteration of the body. In these cases, it is usual that the work ends with a medical license for a medical condition, but the cause is nervous.

Some large companies will provide some advice or support, the employee and arranged that part of the problem. But unfortunately, that does not cure the underlying problem, because it acts only against the symptoms.

For this reason there is a new approach, called "Stress Audit."
Unlike the typical model, this approach puts the emphasis on analysis the surroundings and working conditions of workers rather than solve the problem once it has submitted, that is, it acts at the level of prevention.

The focus of the audits of stress is more intelligent and mutually beneficial. It assumes that in any job there are many conditions that produce stress, and stress audit is an investigation of the causes of stress throughout the enterprise, is a thorough study to determine the causes and reduce the problem.

Although an emerging technology, the results are very encouraging, almost spectacular. In an oil company that became a stress audit, it was reported that the medical licenses down more than two hundred to fewer than two dozen in the span of one year.

How To Get The Bearing Out Of A Metal Core

History of a song: "Put Your Shoulder To The Wheel"

For classic, just classic, not the music of today.
This is pure gospel, music sacred choral meant to be sung in church services.
not only Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin and company man lives as music is concerned .....



Some time ago I told how, during our visits to Scotland, we know this kind of music while attending church services with his organist, the choir and parishioners joining the edges. And, of course, how we arrived ...
One of the hymns that we first heard there is this that I bring you today. The lyrics and music are so expressive, so direct noble and as simple as coming immediately.

"Put Your Shoulder To The Wheel" is a song that is based a little on the harsh experiences of the first American adventurers traveling across this vast country in search of a better life.


At the time of the conquest of America by the pioneers, especially during the nineteenth century, wagon trains very long (sometimes over 500), livestock and people traveled from east to west the country for weeks, bringing all possessions and their families looking for a place to settle down and get ahead.
The journey was long and hard not only to endure the skirmishes with Indians and dangerous animals, and all kinds of inclement weather ... and they had to deal with thieves and criminals lurking these rows of passengers with their carts filled with all kinds of things that took advantage to steal, rape women, abducting children etc. These people were organized and grouped in rows of cars to help and protect, even found some people if they found the right place.
In short, we know from history and film and tv.

When

-thing quite commonly seen because of the mud the huge wheels of the carts were jammed and the horses could not get them out of berengenal, people joined to help those who needed it, and hands and shoulders pushed with all his might to release the cart from the mud and to follow the path.
The phrase "put your shoulder to the wheel", that is, as you know, "pitch in", "get down to work" ...
Over time it has become a cliche that English has come to mean just that, making a great effort large to move forward, however.


The author of both the lyrics and the music of this anthem, William Lamartine Thompson.
Born in a small town in Ohio, USA, in 1847, studied music in Boston during his childhood and adolescence, and even got to travel to Germany to complete his musical education. They

him being a good person, very quiet and very good neighbor. I used to always walk with a pencil and paper in hand, as pointed out everything I saw or heard that he liked, from an inspirational phrase, to the tune of a nursery rhyme. Devoted himself to writing music, mainly religious, married and had a son. In your local church services was active as organist and composer of hymns, being a well-known in life. It seems that during a trip to England sick, and now back in his country, died a few weeks in 1909.
Little more is known about him ...
The song today is religious themes, but the letter well be applied to any area of \u200b\u200blife, not just have to be religious to find a lot of sense.


This is the letter in English, you can follow while the choir sings.

"The World Has Need of Willing men who wear the worker´s seal
Come, help the good work move along, put your shoulder to the wheel
Put your shoulder to the wheel, push along
Do your duty with a heart full of song
We all have work, let no one shirk, put your shoulder to the wheel.

The Church has need of helping hands, and hearts that know and feel
The work to do is here for you, put your shoulder to the wheel
Put your shoulder to the wheel, push along
Do your duty with a heart full of song
We all have work, let no one shirk, put your shoulder to the wheel.

Then work and watch and fight and pray, with all your might and zeal
Push every worthy work along, put your shoulder to the wheel
Put your shoulder to the wheel, push Along
Do your duty with a heart full of song
We Have all work, let no one shirk, put your shoulder to the wheel ".

And this is the translation:

" The world needs men volunteers who have come forward to working
, let's get honest work to prosper, to work
pitch in, let us not push
fulfill our obligation to our jobs
joy that nobody circumvented, lend a shoulder.

The Church needs helping hands and hearts that know and feel
work waiting for you, please get to work
lend a shoulder let us not push .......( chorus as above)

So work, watch, fight and pray with all your strength and enthusiasm
drives everything worthwhile effort, please get to work
props the shoulder, not push stop ....( chorus) "

The chorus makes this version is the impressive Mormon Tabernacle Choir, for me one of the best.
has a bunch of records that you can find, yes almost everything is religious music.
course I think that one need not be LDS to enjoy this music, right?

If you like to hear more, I can recommend themselves, the songs "You'll Never Walk Alone, "" Let There Be Peace on Earth "," Where Can I Turn for Peace ".... have many more, but they indicated to me that you love me.
