Artist: Luciano Pavarotti with the London Symphony Orchestra Lyrics
Song: La Donna E Mobile Lyrics
[1.] La donna ¨¨ mobile qual piuma al vento,
muta d'accento e di pensiero.
Sempre un amabile leggiadro viso,
in pianto o in riso, ¨¨ menzognero.
La donna ¨¨ mobil qual piuma al vento,
muta d'acc...ento e di pensier, e di pensier,
e... e di pensier.
[2.] ¨¨ sempre misero chi a lei s'affida,
chi le confida mal cauto il core!
Pur mai non sentesi felice appieno,
chi su quel seno non liba amore!
La donna ¨¨ mobil qual piuma al vento,
muta d'acc...ento e di pensier, e di pensier,
e..........e di - pensier.
English Translation...
Woman is flighty
Like a feather in the wind,
She changes her voice — and her mind.
Always sweet,
Pretty face,
In tears or in laughter, — she is always lying.
Always miserable
Is he who trusts her,
He who confides in her — his unwary heart!
Yet one never feels
Fully happy
Who on that bosom — does not drink love!

After the ceremony, the floor was handed over to the Dalai Lama, who spoke about how to cultivate happiness.
"I feel for a successful and happy life much of it depends on our mental outlook," he said, as he sat cross-legged on a couch onstage. "The money, power or even health, I think is secondary. If mental state is calm, at peace, then you really enjoy your life."
"Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth." Oscar Wilde
“The basis of shame is not some personal mistake of ours, but the ignominy, the humiliation we feel that we must be what we are without any choice in the matter, and that this humiliation is seen by everyone.” Milan Kundera

bauhaus method really just refers to one at a time ... instead of mass produced ... related to the slow food movement ... a rebellion against mass production ...
Vancouver 2010 refers to the upcoming winter Olympics in Canada...please support us Canadians in the next four years by buying things from Canadians...the economic support will help us to put on a really good party for those who choose to visit us...

Le Pont Mirabeau
Sous le pont Mirabeau coule la Seine
Et nos amours
Faut-il qu'il m'en souvienne
La joie venait toujours après la peine
Vienne la nuit sonne l'heure
Les jours s'en vont je demeure
Les mains dans les mains restons face à face
Tandis que sous
Le pont de nos bras passe
Des éternels regards l'onde si lasse
Vienne la nuit sonne l'heure
Les jours s'en vont je demeure
L'amour s'en va comme cette eau courante
L'amour s'en va
Comme la vie est lente
Et comme l'Espérance est violente
Vienne la nuit sonne l'heure
Les jours s'en vont je demeure
Passent les jours et passent les semaines
Ni temps passé
Ni les amours reviennent
Sous le pont Mirabeau coule la Seine
Vienne la nuit sonne l'heure
Les jours s'en vont je demeure
Guillaume Apollinaire (1880 - 191
On Christo's diet and work ethic: “Sometimes he comes down to eat raw garlic, which he eats three times a day,” says Jeanne-Claude. “A total of one head of garlic a day, raw, like candies. With some yogurt. And sometimes a glass of soy milk. That takes him about three minutes. Then back to the studio.”

Make your own kind of music, Mama Cass
Nobody can tell ya;
There's only one song worth singin'.
They may try and sell ya,
'cause it hangs them up
to see somone like you.
But you've gotta make your own kind of music
sing your own special song,
make your own kind of music even if nobody
else sing along.
So if you cannot take my hand,
and if you must be goin',
I will understand.
You're gonna be knowing
the loneliest kind of lonely.
It may be rough goin',
just to do your thing's
the hardest thing to do.
But you've gotta make your own kind of music
sing your own special song,
make your own kind of music even if nobody
else sings along.
So if you cannot take my hand,
and if you must be goin',
I will understand.
You gotta make your own kind of music
sing your own special song,
make your own kind of music even if nobody
else sings along.

for example...One variant of the globin gene causes sickle cell anaemia in a person
who carries two copies of it (one from each parent), but the variant
persists because it protects against malaria if it is coupled with
another variant.
-this bit of information explains how a form of anemia protects against malaria...a visual depiction is easier for most...
or...rose coloured glasses to increase night vision-like infra-red goggles used by soldiers at night...now, explain it in a painting...
Comment: "Someday a bear will eat you, Someday you'll eat the bear"..."KURU" is also referred to as laughing disease, which upon death, the brains of those cannibals afflicted shows to look much like Swiss cheese, very holey...hence the problem with the concept of stem cell research...if you eat someone else, there is a strong possibilty that either their genes will eat yours or your genes will eat theirs- leaving holes...this phenomenon is called "Variant Gene Domination"...basically, whoever's gene is dominant wins, & the other gets eaten...if you are eating your older dead relative then there is a strong chance his genes will be dominant, but his being no longer alive, means that those no longer alive genes win, and you get Kuru too...if you eat your children, your genes may dominate, but survival of the species ends...what they are proposing in using embryonic stem cells is somewhat similar to eating your own children- maybe you will live longer, but your children won't do so well...(update: an application does occur when actually trying to kill unwanted cells that have taken up house in your body...theoretically the stem cells hold hands with your healthy cells & help you kick out those similar cells which are up to no good...see medicine in art for picture...)

Update: Botulism occurs when you leave something like salad dressing in the fridge too long , it grows in that moment of indecision between " should I throw this out? " or " should I keep this because it might be still pretty good at some time in the future & I feel guilty about throwing out this something that was a little expensive " , trains of thought ... If cannibals were feeling guilty about killing & eating a particular nice neighbour , or felt weird about eating someone's brains , then they might have , might , leave or left the body , brains , whatever grossenating parts that they weren't sure bout in their so-called 'fridge' while they were deciding ...If the cousin of the undecided one shows up * & says " these brains or this brain is perfectly good " " see, um delicious " then they might ingest botulism ...& that might be the real reason for Kuru , rotting food ...
just a thought ... <p>
The HUMMER O2 Concept looks like a tree, with manufactured leaves and a trunk, and acts like a tree by working on the principle of photosynthesis – it takes in carbon dioxide from the air and emits oxygen.
excerpt from autonet.ca about Hummer concept...
The revolutionary bodyshell produces pure oxygen (O2) throughout the life of the vehicle. It generates that oxygen from a canopy of aluminum-framed, clear plastic panels holding algae cultivation that use carbon dioxide (CO2). A 2-way valve system in the corner of each panel monitors and controls the amount of carbon dioxide and source nutrition needed for the algae cultivation while optimizing oxygen production and distribution.

On subject..."Zeitgeist"
means Spirit of the Time...
On method...
"Automatism"...allowing the form to flow from one's hand without
pre-conceiving the line...
On science...
"Pointillism", the colour theory that explains each expanse of shade
is really composed of tiny particles of many hues...
On religion...
about NOT painting likenesses of anything...

on aesthetics: or ' beauty is truth, truth is beauty'(from Keats' , ode on a Grecian urn)...I feel art should be didactic, not reflecting reality but teaching how reality could be...
"Wait for the sun" ...
Film Note: "White Oleander" directed by Peter Kosminsky, "beware of failed artists...there is nothing more dangerous than a failed artist"... |
