Dimplex Dac12004rc Manual

The Pandera (Jaén)

For various reasons, Jaén is a city \u200b\u200bdear to me, charming and very "my other home, I really wanted to do a tour of some of its mountains, which has many very beautiful: Cazorla, Sierra Morena, Sierra Mágina ... know them a bit and I love (the province of Jaén is about nature is concerned, spectacular).

This time, I must admit that the day had been round to come I'm missing a friend who I expected, but what can you do ...! (You know I hope to see you next time we go there, right?). Today we have a group of about 25 people, including two guests, Lindsay and Luis, who ..... well not have been too good at the end.

We started our trip in the beautiful reservoir Quiebrajano, which incidentally had been years since it was so full of water supplies water to Jaén capital, and this morning was desembalsando and all, a joy.



The trail was in good condition at the beginning, but as we ascend, we have encountered deteriorating. Soon we discovered why: it is not only frequented by hikers. (And boy, that seemed equipped the "Death Squad" at least). At least they were very polite and they have stopped crossing with bikes and greeted very friendly.


Everyone's entitled to enjoy these places, of course, but is expressly prohibited motor vehicles motorcycles and quads type passing through the trails, because the wreck, and we know that after the maintenance and signaling sidewalks ... it is not always the best.

These pots (I mean, vehicles), in addition to pollute and contaminate the sound-field where they go (I do not know which is worse), are swept away tacos wheel paths, open "shortcuts" new more just eroding the area and make the sidewalk in a kind of groove rock and loose soil that is very difficult to walk up or down, and when it rains is a runoff that leaves the mountain streaked "scratches "disfigured, impassable and sad.
forest tracks and roads are for them no sidewalks and trails.


Closer
the Pandera (1870 m), our today's summit, the dense forest of pines, oaks and oaks gives way to grasslands within a few days will be filled with flowers, although we have seen some daffodils and wild violets along the way ... even feral box (and I believe that specific plant gardens ...). There, in front of us, waiting. It is a beautiful mountain ... And we have not found any fence ...!



The last slope to the summit are somewhat Durillo so steep and rocky, and some have been really bad, as Lindsay, a fellow guest, and who wanted to climb to the top with the group but has been advised of the hardness of the road. Some partners have not reached to the top (we have waited on a hill below) and this would have done it. To us, although accustomed to such exercises, at times we found it hard without a trail that rise just full of loose stones ...



Here she is trying to reach before falling faint ... not bring the right shoes or proper clothing and the right attitude. Often walking is not only a matter of legs and lungs, but also an awareness and psychological well-disposed to the hardness of the road you have front, and that is as important as physical fitness.
We've all had a hard time seeing her pale and reach the summit ... its veneer finally reaching the trig point says it all, poor thing.



The summit of the poor Pandera is disfigured with a large telecommunications antenna (in short, is the price we pay for progress, I guess) and horrendous construction was a U.S. military base, as Lindsay, who is from Kansas and a lovely girl ... but it will not return to practice hiking, I suspect -) and is now obsolete. A pity that such a monstrosity dismantled architectural contrast with the landscape makes the hair stand on end.



The cuts were on the other lane ... even more shattered by the bikes that morning we rise. Some sections were directly impractical and a good way to look for a sprained ankle or even a good fall ... but the spectacular scenery of cliffs, caves and ravines have helped some to forget the disaster of path tatters. Incidentally, this area has rock paintings, but I did not have time to entertain in look.



And best near the end, the ruins of Castle Otíñar brochecillo have put their gold a day. Most colleagues had visited before, or had no desire to deviate from the way back for a closer look ... six of us, we had not yet had enough, we've even gone to the ruins of the tower main balancing on a broken pillar to see the top ... worth it restored; is very small and very nice. That tower you see and where we started to climb is about 20 m in height! Not bad for a castle as kid.




The route has finished in the joy of always having visited and enjoyed a beautiful place and the concern to see that our two guests have gone wrong : Luis has practically limping, and Lindsay on the brink of exhaustion, and not a say. Colleagues who were with them have come to take her in his arms raised, because it also has a hip injury, from which he had not said anything, and that might have caused a major problem ...... I think this Image the bus waiting to take us back to Granada, they had to seem a little vision of Nirvana.


All has ended well, finally, how could it be otherwise: the return trip, with half a group as small children sleeping in their seats ... and Lindsay with ibuprofen in the body and ghastly pale, but full, quiet and always smiling, the sky as a child.

Here is the map of the route, about 17 km in distance, but more than 1000 m of vertical ascent and descent, and the profile with the highlights of the day.



photographers today were Angus, Concha, Manolo (who is also the architect of the plan and profile of the route), Padi, Antonio and Pepe Montenegro. Stunning, as always.
By the way, here you have some in full fatigues ....¡ what would this blog without all of them!

Doc To See For Bone Spur

Concerto for Two Violins and Orchestra in D minor (2 º mov.) Johann Sebastian Bach

Johann Sebastian Bach
is for many experts the greatest musician of all time, along with Beethoven and Brahms is part of the "three B German "-. Belonged to the most formidable line of musicians who ever lived, not only at large but also for its quality, uncles, brothers, nephews, children ... they were great musicians and composers. Bach himself compiled a genealogy entitled "Origins of Music of the Bach family."


Since childhood, therefore, was in contact with music at the highest level, and small and played the violin and harpsichord (a distant relative of the piano), singing very good soprano in choirs, to 15 years, that changed voice and that was over, clear -.
His was a life devoted entirely to music, organist, teacher, composer, choir and orchestra, an organizer of musical events ... it was very respected, recognized and considered in your country (Germany) and outside him. He lived from 1685 to 1750 (when he died he was 65, which was enough for the time), he married twice and had 20 children: seven with his first wife and 13 with his second. Some became great musicians as well, highlighted Carl Philip Emmanuel, Johann Christian, Wilhelm Friedemann ... this painting is with them.


Bach was an amazingly prolific composer, his catalog of works (BWV: Bach Werke Verzeichnis, which means "catalog of the works of Bach" in German), consists of nearly 2000 compositions: works from for beginners to true monuments of history not just of music but art in general.
Only the last years of his life was forced to give up writing because you were leaving a waterfall slowly blind. Such was his concern that he even operated twice (with the media at that time ... we must have courage!): The first intervention left him worse than he was, and operated the second time, he was directly blind.


deeply religious man, never afraid of death, and told his wife that he felt closer its time, was alert and happy because he was "going to a better place." He spent most of his compositional efforts to sacred music, producing some monumental works like the Mass in B Minor, the St. Matthew Passion, Christmas Oratorio ...


its huge production ranges from the purely orchestral music-concerts for orchestra, for violin, harpsichord, overtures, music for keyboard, organ and harpsichord, "chamber music (for small groups of instruments) and vocal-choral cantatas, oratorios, passions and other music works -... I bring you today is one of his concertos for two violins and orchestra in D minor, BWV 1043.

originally written for two solo violins with accompaniment of two violins, viola, cello and continuo (a key line is playing basically the same as the other accompanying instruments, it is a very simple explanation about what is a continuum, musicians I know ... but is not the place to get into eleven staff shirt, right?), but is usually performed to the accompaniment of small string orchestra.
Its date of composition is believed to be between 1717 and 1723, without being able to be more specific: It was during the years he lived in the city of Köthen. Specifically, is the second movement, the slow, is considered one of the most beautiful pages and more masterfully written by Bach.


both solo instruments (two violins) are placed on equal footing (at any time does not stand on each other) actually set as a dialogue including an amazing ease and perfection ... in this second movement, the "tutti" (the other accompanying instruments) is confined almost exclusively to a few chords, leaving the soloists role.

This concert was so successful that a few years later, in 1736, Bach himself rewrote it in an arrangement for two harpsichords and orchestra.

Listen to the wonderful version of Itzack Perlman (and I have seen play "Meditation" from Thais, Massenet, do you remember ...?) and Isaac Stern, two of the greatest violinists really great.
The music on the sky.

(Climb While the volume of the recording, you know already if not, you lose yourself many things ... you enjoy it!)

Briefs Outside Boxers Home

De Alfarnate the Tajo de las Palomas

Today's route was scheduled to climb the hill of Chamizo (1637 m), which is the most important bill that puebecillo surrounding Alfarnate, in the middle region of Axarquia Malaga. What a brilliant day of sunshine, what a good temperature, the field was so beautiful with that white light is announcing and spring sown cereal the green ..... this area is very beautiful, is something special.


This is Alfarnate, and this one below, the hill Chamizo, our first choice .... we have not been able to climb to the top.'ll Have to be for another time ...! And looking for an alternative route, of course. It is a limestone rock mass (so says Luis) , and the vegetation is typically Mediterranean: aromatic and oaks, beautiful.


parked cars and started approaching the hill along a forest track, to little left to take a Veredilla among oaks, rocks and moss so beautiful that looked like a painting ... As we usually do, the original group was divided into two groups and each took a path, we continue climbing and talking quietly where were we to undertake the climb to Mt.
After a while of walking and after meeting with these friends, who give a damn who was going and where ....


One of the two groups, which had advanced a little, he found the guard of what proved to be a private estate, and he refused, of course, to our little group Shining Path rapid traverse and civilized the area in order to ascend to Chamizo and down quietly on the other hand ...


So we gave half around and went back to the cars to change on the fly the route of the day thank goodness that this gives us good ... with some maps of the area that Angus had decided in two minutes and returned an alternative rutilla the people to exit from another point. With the time we had lost, this would be shortsighted to force. We returned
face behind us and saw that the hill Tajo de las Palomas, more softly, (1250 m) and not as impressive as the Chamizo, was calling us ... we took another forest track and thither we went.


the way there, very picturesque. Look how well ... there was so curious many of these. And it was full of water ... almost to the edge.



In that area the water is plentiful, and we came across several sources, this is the stack of Cerezal, blight and poor, so black that would be fried heat, was given a bath, of course, again remained as animals with the language I had hanging strawberry .... what is good-natured.


A stretch above, Herrera Prado Cells, we stop for lunch ... and some for a good nap. Others, as soon as we finished the sandwich, decided to climb rapidly to Tajo de las Palomas, still waiting patiently. The water from that source is not treated sanitary, but it was so nice and cool ... I drank a little and I think someone else too. Just now we have a belly full of amoebas and paramecia.


This increase does not have a clear path, so we decided to go on the rocks. From below, our colleagues from the nap we were looking back and forth, climbing rocks on all fours and look for corners where you do not falling down.
Manolo, one of the companions who have GPS, walkie-talkies and other (he is my provider of technical information: plans, sections, distances, etc) asked me to take your GPS to stay recorded our journey to the top ... so here I am with the pileup that ... in the pocket. ..! Do not take it there is very professional, but had nowhere to hook: I will not as prepared as they are. (Should not count when I went to pick up the GPS, I mistook one of the walkies ... but if they are the same ...! Modernuras lol ... these are not for me).


All our bags and leave without that burden, have risen slightly as the wind and everything they gave us legs otherwise they do not give us time to rise and fall ... and because there was a lot of jogging, too. The Underdogs
have seen us like this: climbing the rocks ....

Preparing to get us through the "reefer" (the gap between the narrow and steep rocks )....


And at the summit at last ...! Yes, yes, we're up there, is that we only see two.


But we have lived well: suppression by the rocks, all of the art ....


The spliff impressive, rocky, steep .. has been an ordeal for all to save him, I leave my upload stream so that you see an idea of \u200b\u200bthe difficulty he had ... has been really well.


And our picture on the top (luckily, Vincent had the good sense to take the camera around the scree .)


Behind us we have La Maroma, who still wears a hat of snow ... (and know her because we were in January), here we are with our bodies covering mountain - never better, "but in this picture below is not. These views reconciled with the Cosmos ...



At the bottom you have the people, Alfarnate, and right the Chamizo, our hill "I want and I can not" today.
The rest of the route was to go down a lot less difficult site and other people around the forest path.

But before we go, the stop for the cervecilla we have made in the beautiful Alfarnate Sale: is the oldest in Andalucia "A sign says there since 1699 - and the scene of skirmishes with the bandits and the famous Luis Candelas, throughout the nineteenth century. The place looks like the setting for an episode of "Curro Jiménez" is restored and true pampering, we liked it.
whole area of \u200b\u200bthe Montes de Malaga and Ronda were indeed the natural settings that series was filmed.







Again, I am black to choose the photos that illustrate our adventures, which I do not do are as beautiful as you see ... and are on the Club website. Today's photographers have been Angus, Concha, Rosa, Manolo and Vicente, and the profile and map of the route are Manolo. Thanks to everyone for uploading the photos right away!

The profile clearly see where the guard made us go back, batteries, where we ate and the rise of the Tagus.
In the plane, right .... because our route failed, and to the left, which eventually became: 17.5 kms.
It was not what we planned, but the subidilla to the Tajo de las Palomas was funny and know the sale was worth it ... so as always to leave the mountain, all very good.

Barcarolle opus 60 in F sharp Major Chopin


How difficult it is to talk about Frederic Chopin after all what has been written about it ...!
But it is understandable, what life can offer more than yours?

Some biographies and movies have shown him as the paradigm of weak character, romantic, decadent, disheveled and dripping with sentimentality that really was not. The man who lived only 39 years, had a complex personality: sad, indecisive, visceral, shy yet spirited, spent the last years of his life in violent struggle against a typically romantic disease: tuberculosis.


Under its sleek, exquisite manners hid a stormy temper, virile, passionate, even in the most acute phases of illness, remained the unwavering force his musical thinking . It was both a solo musician needed the privacy of your piano to express themselves, and a demanding concert audience was looking for the finest salons of Europe to publicize his work ... he was always in great demand at these meetings of high society, and even if accessed more or less willingly to play, often lavishing tried not too.
By the way, every time you went to one of these acts, raged among the female audience.


had a brief but intense life. Polish by birth and French by adoption, he never forgot his homeland, especially during the Russian invasion of Poland in 1830, and this is always shown throughout his work, especially in their collections of nationalist-inspired pieces: the mazurkas and the polonaise, based on Polish peasant dances. One of his fondest memories was a silver goblet filled with Polish soil that always accompanied him ... This is a manuscript score of the four ballads, the second in F Major, his signature appears at the end the staff.


developed his career in Paris, where he excelled as a pianist and composer and associated with the cream of Parisian society: musicians, painters, aristocrats, writers ..., his life was busy in all aspects, had several romantic relationships that coincided with the toughest stages of the disease, but Finally, at the hour of his death, his sister Louise who accompanied him.

When Chopin knew that his hour came, he called at the time of his death he opened the chest, he removed the heart (always panicked at the thought of being buried alive) and this was carried Poland.
This was done, his heart buried in the church of Santa Cruz and the rest in the cemetery of Père Lachaise in Paris. His grave has since become a place of pilgrimage for all who love his music ... always full of flowers.


The entire works of Chopin is written for piano, either as a solo instrument with orchestral accompaniment or other instruments. The piano writing is deep and there is nothing in it which is not intended for this instrument. Renewed piano technique that was seen previously, dynamics, fingering, tone ...." invented "a new way of playing the piano, increasing the expressive possibilities of the instrument and finding new sounds that only they would see in Debussy, Faure and Scriabin (of which I have spoken on other musical entries, remember?).
This piano is one of those who belonged.


composed almost all genres, from concerts to sonatas, but where his talent was best reflected in the short forms, concentrating on a few minutes the whole world an impression.
His collections of Studies, Preludes, Waltzes, Nocturnes, Impromptus, Scherzo, Ballads, Polonaises, Mazurkas .... are among masterpieces for piano of all time.


This is the only picture that remains of him is taken in 1849, just months before his death. I personally do not like me much, except for the fact that it is a valuable document ... in his face clearly reflect the ravages of many years of illness and suffering. That look away and should not be yours.

Today I propose the inspired Barcarolle in F # Major. Belongs to the last period of composition of Chopin, and a real summary of expertise of its author, both by the new harmonic and noise of the part as his character as purely pianistic. Extreme difficulty of interpreting both their technique and expressive complexity, this is a piece of great stuff for all pianists.

I bring the version of the incredible, amazing, perfect, gorgeous, impeccable, extraordinary, unrepeatable Krystian Zimerman, one of the most complete pianist of the moment. This recording of the Barcarolle is the year 1989 and is considered as a reference in the interpretation of Chopin's work.

The video image Zimerman was 33 years, now has 54, but still as handsome as you see.


When you hear the music, it is worth to watch out for your hands: how to evolve from the keyboard without apparent effort and quite naturally, it seems that it touches not difficult. .. this is another of his qualities makes it difficult look easy!
(I recommend you go up, the volume of the recording is very short)

One more thing and end: several have told me you did not know that you can type comments (from an account g mail is really easy) , and you can read the opinion who read the blog and want to say something ... well if you click on the letrillas say "comments" at the very end of each entry, you can read what people have written, often very interesting, and sometimes very funny too.
I think sometimes it's much more interesting to read what you think about all it's own post ...!
