Rolando Lopez Dirube
|
|---|
CARLOS ALBERTO MONTANER 30 of January of 1997 in The New Herald Madrid- One of the most complete of the Cuban artists and has just died in Puerto Rico to the 69 years. He was called Rolando López Dirube-The great Deaf Dirube' 'leaves a work without comparison in the plastic of our country, although almost all carried out it in the exile. He could draw splendid with a hand-really with the two-meticulous and delicate, or could climb to a scaffold and to cover with a mural one of concrete a building of 30 flats. He carved precious sculptures in wood, small and affectionate, was faced to some heroic trunks of size and planed them to become beautiful figures smooth and pulidas. Melted iron and bronze. He carved the stone. Hes graphic work includes excellent engravings in wood, real lithographies (They almost never are), silkscreens, aguafuertes, pirograbados. Worked the óleo, the ink, the sanguina, the silver tip, the fresh classic, with the yeso humid and the quick domestic pigment and inapelable. He did it all. And all he did with, besides, with a combination of intelligence, passion and technical control that convert it, without an adarme of exaggeration, he was one of the largest Latin-American artists of the century, as was verified in Caracas some as many as years ago when the Contemporary Museum of Art of Sofía Imber-The more exclusive of the Continent-It opened its doors and caused paraded set against its prodigious sized wood in to. I knew Dirube at the end of his 60's in its house/study of Cataño, set against the bay, while painted its series The combatants-some impressive the smell of you on wood, mixed with dust of stone and burned with blow -that perhaps be the highest expression of its painting, the most stunning, original and violent one: the one that more reflected its temperament and its own personal devils. They were beings ocres on black funds, about dying, at times tied by a fine red cord absolutely despiadada. There they were, mixed, the horror that they caused it the fusilamientos recent, their paradoxical flavor by the weapons of fire, by the Japanese swords and by the martial arts; their worship by the histories more or less legendary of the mambises and, in all the mouths, insinuated, a terrible, dry, and final shout, all that was not alien their own and tragic deafness. Not in bucket, when Lucas Morán wrote their magnificent history of the uprising against Batista-One of the better books on the theme-chose a picture of this series for the front. As Valley Inclán fabulaba on his arm amputated --a young lady wrote me that he wanted to kiss my hand, and I, always a young man, I cut it me and I was sent it' '--, to Dirube he charmed to relate fantastic histories to explain his deafness of tube: My grandfather, deaf by his age advanced, he had an earpiece with the one that he pleased me to play when was boy, but to him mortified, and a day mean atrocious warning: Come on break the apparatus God is going to punish yourself and will become deaf. It did a long pause, looked at me to the eyes, and with the greater seriousness continued saying: I was eight years old and could hear perfectly well. . . That night I broke the aparatus and all, the following day I woke up completely deaf. Various years later I knew in Spain to a strange and kind genius of the linguistic one and the foniatría, the professor David Feldman, políglota American that dominated 14 tongues to the perfection, refugee in Vigo because pleased to direct the symphony orchestra of that Spanish city, and said myself that to him it did not seem improbable the history of the deafness of Dirube, therefore was possible that a deep state of hysteria to impede to hear. If you bring it me to my clinic a foniátrica will try cure it-he said -- although you do not I promise nothing. Two weeks later Dirube was in Madrid, and immediately we went us to Vigo in a dangerous and long trip by highway, therefore I should conduct, and he only could know what I he said if he read my lips, so that the 700 kilometers I passed him looking at the road of reojo and tipping the face to be able to converse. When we arrive al hotel --small and quite more modest had a tortícolis almost terminal, but that night was willing to ascertain something that Feldman had asked me and that I was not capable to respond him: ¿you Know if Dirube, when is asleep, perceives some sound? Willing to clear that doubt, without revealing him to Dirube my purpose, I asked a room with two beds and, once in her, I waited for that to sleep. So prompt closed the eyes, I began my precarious investigation: ¿you hear me? , said in voice more or less low. Nothing. I returned to the load, higher: Deaf one ¿you hear myself? . Nothing. I insisted in high one more tone. And higher. And higher. And when already it was giving some frightening shouts, they called to the door. I opened: was a small spaniard and with badly character, in pijama and cap to sleep, almost as an midget of Blancanieves, that he said myself with voice disjointed and gesture to speak totally in serious: f*!? man, the man does not need to be deaf, is dead person, and if does not silence himself of a hell of a time you're going to be the next corpse. Al following day Feldman examined it. Really, if they to have been sleeping in Hiroshima would have known about the bomb by the newspapers, but not by the noise. Nevertheless, the ingenious one American, determined to cure its patient to any price-it apenaba its Rich trip from Port -- proposed a solution a so much complicated and atrabiliaria: if Dirube surrounded by a species of tímpano metallic, if was introduced in a capable bell to vibrate with the sounds, that I engender could be connected to the bones of the head, and, after learning to decode the vibrations, would be able to speak. Clear, all it normally that it can speak a person stuffed in an armor screwed to the bones of the head. The adventure went not of the all useless. Besides what it entertained recalling it time and again with Ramón Mestre and with Arturo Rodriguez, then a young painter situated in Madrid, friend of Dirube, today one of the truly large Cuban artists, years later the Deaf one drew to pencil a war helmets collection, torvos and sinister, of the ones that tongues leave and inexplicable networks, that probably had its origin in the unusual trip. I hope that the Cubans of Puerto Rico they convert the house of Cataño in the Museum Dirube. In the first Museum Dirube. Because some day, when we collect our dead persons, liemos our bártulos, and we undertake the trip of return, Dirube has to return to Cuba to occupy that place principalism that deserves in the history of the Cuban art. Already I carried it myself once to Vigo and did not hear a word in all the journey, but all understood it. It will be exactly equal when we carry him us to havana.

donttellryan.com was a website, founded on April 17, 2007 that introduced the world to a college student named ryan. the website ran for just under a month before being shut down by campus administration and university police. the site, created by ryans friends and roommate, emin and steve, involved a secret webcam set up in the room which allowed users watch the everyday life of ryan. starting off small, the site instantly gained success by word of mouth spreading throughout the country, and world. although the majority of the time people spent watching, ryan was asleep, there were many memorable (and embarrassing) moments during the short time the site was live(aswell as many attempts to alert ryan to his being viewed by the world, including 1 attempt to email every ryan that attended Binghamton, fortunately the owners know a few ryans on campus and were alerted to this email with time to remove it from ryans email at his computer where his password was saved). as the site gained popularity, more features were added to keep guests occupied, including a discussion board, selected videos from youtube, and the creators' favorites, kittenkannon(aswell as other flash games). after the short existence of the site, it reached its goal of getting 1 million hits and begun planning its grand finale, however the end turned out to be very disappointing when a email from administration was sent to all partys involved to cease the feed. it was at this point that things changed. in a surprise turn of events, it turned out that ryan had known for a few days, alerted by authorities, and was himself planning a live revenge on emin and steve for the camera, but was also unable to due to the administrations decision to shut it down.

Dancing Gabe

If you've been to any home game for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, Winnipeg Goldeyes and Manitoba Moose, you've seen Gabe Langlois, Winnipeg's ultimate sports fan. Dancing Gabe has become such a local icon, there's even a video clip of him circulating on the internet, showcasing his top five moves, and giving them names, like the Cape Crusader and Stair Master. The 43-year-old grew up in St. Vital. After spending some time in a special-needs home, he found his true calling as a performer in 1983 when he saw Michael Jackson on TV. After that, mom Angelina Langlois says he started busting moves in public when he'd get excited at sporting events. He's become the unofficial mascot of several local sports teams, who reward him for his devotion with free jerseys and admission. Winnipeg Goldeyes General Manager, Andrew Collier, says whenever there's a lull in the action, they put on music and Gabe gets the crowd going. Gabe's a local legend, and when asked what he thinks of the fame, he says it's really cool. For giving his all at every home game, rain or shine, win or lose, Dancing Gabe is a City Hero.

Template:Wowbox/Begin Template:Racebox
The draenei (pronounced DRAN-eye) are a faction of uncorrupted eredar who fled their home world of Argus. Based on Azuremyst Isles near the west coast of Kalimdor, they have joined the Alliance in the Burning Crusade expansion. Their capital is the Exodar. IntroductionAlmost 25,000 years ago, a faction of uncorrupted eredar led by Velen fled their home world of Argus, calling themselves the draenei ("the Exiled Ones"). After traveling through the cosmos they finally found a world which they called Draenor ("Exile's Refuge"). They at first shared a peaceful existence with the native orcs and traded with them. They followed the path of the Holy Light of Creation as shown to them by the naaru. Unfortunately, Kil'jaeden eventually discovered the refuge, and found the combat-driven and honor-seeking orcs to be easily manipulated. As a potent act of vengeance and a safety precaution, Kil'jaeden ordered the draenei to be exterminated by the orcs through his student, the warlock Gul'dan. After the Dark Portal was destroyed, Draenor collapsed in on itself, and what remained was a sundered mass of planetary debris and floating asteroids hovering in stasis within the Twisting Nether. The regions of Draenor that are still habitable are now known as Outland. Draenor was not the only thing to change in this ordeal, as some draenei were altered by the destruction of their world, and became known as the Broken. Some of these corrupted draenei fled through the open portals on Draenor and settled in the Swamp of Sorrows on the world of Azeroth. Several of these Lost Ones were driven mad by the absence of their home world, and sank into an even deeper primitive state. A number of draenei still remain untainted, and it is these that have crashed onto Azeroth in a dimensional traveling ship sabotaged by the malicious blood elves of Outland (not the blood elves that joined the horde). The draenei are the new Alliance race in the Burning Crusade expansion. AppearanceDraenei are physically different from the eredar of the Burning Legion. Draenei come in a wide variety of flesh tones, from ivory, aqua blue, dark blue, purple, and ebony[2] They do not however seem to exhibit the red skin of demonic Eredar. Draenei also lack the fangs and horns that demonic eredar have on their faces (this is not noticeable in-game models, only in artwork). In Rise of the Horde, Draenei are described as being all or overall blue (with the exception of Velen who is described as having white skin later in his life). In World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade, draenei skin appears in most shades of color between very pinkish-white to light blue up to dark violet. Their blood, which is blue Draenei who use the Gift of the Naaru racial ability have a glowing sigil float above their head for the duration of the effect. Draenei males have tendrils coming out of their chin and a fan-like forehead plate which rises and overlaps other forehead plates behind it. Male draenei have large tails which are held erect by developed muscle structure. The women look very different: Rather than the forehead plates that the men have, they have cranial extensions, vaguely horn-shaped, that extend over the upper cranium and end on either side of the crown. Female cranial tendrils sprout behind the ear and typically are long enough to reach the shoulders. They are thinner than the men's. The women's tails have a lower muscle density. In both genders, the hooves are relatively large, in contrast to the more compacted hooves of their demonic counterparts. Draenei can choose from a diverse selection of hair colors including gray, white, blue/black, brown, and purple. Similarly, the number of facial tentacles on male draenei can be customized. They can feature zero, one, two, or four tentacles of different shape and size. Playable race
ClassesThose who play as draenei can choose from the following classes: [4] Starting Attributes
Racial abilities
Draenei priests also receive the racial abilities Symbol of Hope and Fear Ward. Symbol of Hope is an instant cast spell with a 5 minute cooldown. It gives all party members 33 mana every 5 seconds for 15 seconds. HistoryOn the Planet of Argus, nearly 25,000 years ago, the eredar race arose. They were extremely intelligent and had a natural affinity for magic in all its myriad forms. Using their gifts, they developed a vast and wondrous society. Soon, at the height of their society, the eredar's three most prominent leaders, Kil'jaeden, Archimonde, and Velen, were approached by Sargeras, the Fallen Titan. Sargeras claimed he was impressed by the work of the eredar, he wanted to supply them with even more power and knowledge, in exchange for their loyalty. But while Kil'jaeden and Archimonde readily accepted the deal, Velen had a vision of the future that filled him with sick dread. He saw the dark future his people were heading towards: siding with the dark titan Sargeras and transformed into demons. Velen saw the Legion in all its terrible might and witnessed the destruction it would wreak upon all of creation. He hastened to warn Kil'jaeden and Archimonde, but they dismissed his concerns and proceeded to profess loyalty to the Destroyer of Worlds. Together, they transformed a majority of their people into an insidious race of warlocks and later allied themselves with the Burning Legion. Velen nearly despaired, but his prayer for help was overheard. A being came to Velen and explained that it was one of the naaru, a race of sapient energy beings bent on stopping the Burning Legion. The naaru offered to take Velen and any other like-minded eredar to safety. Deeply relieved, Velen gathered the other eredar loyal to him. Naming themselves the 'draenei', or "exiled ones" in the Eredun language, the renegades barely escaped from Argus in the naaru ship Oshu'gun, with the Burning Legion only moments behind. Kil'jaeden was furious with what he felt was Velen's betrayal, and the demon vowed to hunt Velen and the rest of the draenei to the ends of the cosmos if need be. The Legion chased the draenei for many thousands of years. The draenei visited many worlds and explored much of the known cosmos in their quest to find safe harbor. Still the Legion, under the guidance of a hell-bent Kil'jaeden, would not give up its pursuit. Meanwhile, the enigmatic naaru race blessed the draenei with Light-given knowledge and power. The naaru explained that there were other forces in the cosmos that would stand against the Burning Legion. One day the naaru would forge them into a single unstoppable army of the Light. Deeply affected by the naaru's words, the draenei vowed to honor the Light and uphold the naaru's altruistic ideals. At last Velen and his draenei settled upon a remote and peaceful world that seemed an ideal refuge. They named it Draenor, or "Exiles' Refuge", and there they quietly cultivated their society once again. Ever wary of being discovered again by Kil'jaeden's forces, Velen and his mystics kept their magics hidden for generations. In time the draenei met and befriended the shamanic orc clans that already lived in the tranquil southern grasslands (later called Nagrand). Aside from engaging in some limited trade, the draenei and orcs regarded one another with respect but kept mostly to themselves. However, no amount of preparation could keep the draenei hidden forever; eventually Kil'jaeden, in his quest to find more minions of the Legion, stumbled upon the planet and found the draenei. But, his attention was soon fixed on the neighboring orcs. Intrigued, Kil'jaeden realized that they were exactly the race of warriors he was looking for and soon succeeded in corrupting the orcs through his protégé Gul'dan. Smoothly manipulated from a state of wary acceptance into blind rage and blood lust, the orcs attacked the draenei. This bloody conflict lasted nearly eight years, but the orcs' triumph was inevitable. The orcs killed over eighty percent of the draenei race and sent the rest fleeing for safety to the remote corners of the world. Afterward, draenei who had fought the Horde and survived found that they had been affected by the fel energies wielded so freely by the orc warlocks. These draenei have since mutated into lesser forms, resulting in a series of subspecies. Kil'jaeden's revenge was complete, or so he thought - Velen and a handful of untransformed draenei have survived the destruction of their cities by the orcs and fled into Zangarmarsh. There they have been hiding until recently. After coming to Draenor, the blood elves discovered the power of Tempest Keep and successfully seized it. To escape, the draenei managed to wrestle control of a wing of the keep, the Exodar, and tried to use it to flee and find aid in retaking their home. Before they could, however, the blood elves managed to sabotage what is essentially the 'engine' of the draenei's transdimensional travel. The remainder of the Keep lies in Outland in the Netherstorm area and is now the home of Prince Kael'thas. When the draenei tried to planeshift, the engine went haywire, and the Exodar ended up hurtling out of control through the Twisting Nether, crash-landing on a chain of islands called Azuremyst Isles, off the western coast of Kalimdor. As the surviving draenei salvage what they can of their ship and try to help what's left of their people, they begin exploring this new world; contact with the night elves of Darkshore is imminent. CultureThe Draenei culture is centered around two things: the Holy Light of Creation, and magic. The first is the result of their unique relationship with the naaru, and the second is the path that the eredar have always followed. As a result, draenei usually choose religious professions, such as priests or paladins, or magical ones, such as the mage. A few have started to follow the path of the shaman under the guidance of Farseer Nobundo. As a people, the draenei have devoted themselves to preparing for the day when they will join the Army of the Light, when they will finally take the fight back to the Burning Legion and atone for the sins of their Man'ari brethren. In spite of this overarching goal, the draenei still lead personal lives and pursue their own interests, just as other races do. As far in interracial relations go, the the draenei still distrust or in some cases hate the Orcs after having suffered so heavily when the Orcs turned on them. Certain things about modern orcs, such as their still-green skin and the fact that some still practice warlock magic (though their new allies, the humans and the gnomes, are also guilty of this), as well as personal grudges on both sides, make the road to forgiveness difficult at best, regardless of whatever peace initiatives Velen or Thrall are willing to launch. Nevertheless there still are cases of acceptance between the two for instance the Horde aligned group the Earthen ring has accepted draenei and Broken members to heal Outland. The draenei are also coming to loathe the blood elves, due to the unprovoked assault on Tempest Keep by the blood elves under Kael'thas and their new methods of feeding their magical addiction. The early overtures to the Alliance have been met with varying degrees of success. There are a number of people from all the Alliance races who have trouble distinguishing the draenei from the man'ari eredar who nearly brought about their destruction. The night elves in particular have suffered heavily at the hands of Archimonde twice. However, the draenei are quickly being accepted by most races, and ambassadors from the Exodar have been welcomed into the Alliance's halls of power- even those of the night elves, where a draenei emissary stands at the right of Tyrande herself. Racial offshoots and factionsSee main article Draenei Factions. Some draenei mutated into lesser forms, resulting in a number of subspecies, of which the Lost Ones draenei and the Broken draenei are examples. Scattered tribes of draenei are rumored to wander still the devastated fields of Outland, the last remnants of Draenor that still float within the Twisting Nether. Akama's tribe is known as the Ashtongue Deathsworn. Another of these tribes left Outland after the destruction of their world and call themselves the Lost Ones. LanguageIn the RPG currently, Draenei have only been said to speak Draenei, with no other primary or secondary languages listed. In World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade they also speak Common.

Kit-cat Clock
|
|---|
is a novelty wall clock introduced in the mid-1930s, and has become a part of Americana. The clock is shaped like a cartoon cat, with roving eyes and moving tail. The clock has also often been referred to as or assumed to be a "Felix the Cat" clock, due to a certain resemblance to the pioneering cartoon character. In 2007, the current owners of Felix launched a belated lawsuit against Kit-Cat for copyright infringement, and noted the occasional use of the "Felix" term in the company's marketing materials. A Kit-Cat Clock, or a reasonable facsimile, adorns the wall of Eliot Shag's Apartment in nearly every episode of Dog City as well as a few episodes of the simpsons.
