(en) The Ledge has been called the Brokeback Mountain for atheists, but that's not exactly true. Although there is a conflict between faith and reason, the film is a human drama revolving around tragic stories. Sure, it should be appreciated to offer an intelligent, and arguably likable (and talkative) atheist main character (and it doesn't cheat the viewer on this one) but the film never goes to deep, only presents the common arguments. So some arguments from the atheist side are a bit cliche and their only purpose is to serve the schematic writing. Not only dialogues, such as tender gay housemate of the main character is a stereotypical, and it's there for the homophobic neighbour. Luckily, some humor and small touches do the job well. A fundamentalist as an antagonist makes both main characters too much black and white and makes the plot unrealistic. However the film tells that atheist or not, we all are the victims of our miserable lives and even a non-believer can save the day!

So if you watched it, what do you think?

(cz) Stojíte-li na římse, může jeden krok navždy změnit váš život. Ateista Gavin (Charlie Hunnam) se ocitne v boji mezi vlastní vůlí a svědomím. Aféra s manželkou (Liv Tyler) jeho věřícího souseda (Patrick Wilson) má pro něj zničující následky. Podvedený manžel Gavina vyláká na střechu výškové budovy a sdělí mu že má hodinu na to, aby si vybral mezi životem svým a životem jeho lásky. Bude schopen se rozhodnout bez víry v posmrtný život? Je na policejním důstojníkovi Hollisovi (Terrence Howard), aby zachránil životy obou, ale hodina se zdá být tak krátká ..

(en) Uganda, home to around 33 million people, is a dangerous country for gay people. Preaching hate speech against homosexuals is a national sport here. Newspapers expose their names on the front pages and promote anti-gay propaganda. Gay & lesbians run away from home to save their lives and are constrained to hide in inhumane places. Radio DJ Scott Mills travels to Uganda and has been witness to the hell, showing that main drivers of the anti-gay propaganda is the church since the firt missionaries has been preaching the idea that homosexuality is an abomination and evil.

(en) Germany in the 1970s: Murderous bomb attacks, the threat of terrorism and the fear of the enemy inside are rocking the very foundations of the yet fragile German democracy. The radicalised children of the Nazi generation lead by Andreas Baader, Ulrike Meinhof and Gudrun Ensslin are fighting a violent war against what they perceive as the new face of fascism: American imperialism supported by the German establishment, many of whom have a Nazi past. Their aim is to create a more human society but by employing inhuman means they not only spread terror and bloodshed, they also lose their own humanity. The man who understands them is also their hunter: the head of the German police force Horst Herold. And while he succeeds in his relentless pursuit of the young terrorists, he knows he's only dealing with the tip of the iceberg.

(de) Der Spielfilm Der Baader Meinhof Komplex aus dem Jahr 2008 schildert Vorgeschichte und Aktionen der Rote Armee Fraktion von 1967 bis 1977 und folgt dabei weitgehend dem gleichnamigen Sachbuch von Stefan Aust. Produzent Bernd Eichinger verfasste das Drehbuch, mit der Regie beauftragte er Uli Edel. Eichingers Dramaturgie verzichtet auf eine identifikatorische Hauptfigur und einen durchgehenden Handlungsbogen. Die Produktion bietet zahlreiche große Namen aus der deutschen Schauspielerriege auf und ist zum Teil bis in Kleinstrollen mit bekannten Darstellern besetzt. Sie verbuchte zweieinhalb Millionen Kinobesuche. Als eine der teuersten deutschsprachigen Produktionen wurde sie von der ARD kofinanziert, die den Film ein Jahr nach der Kinopremiere als längeren Fernsehzweiteiler ausstrahlte. Die Kritik war sich sehr uneinig darüber, ob der Film mitreißt oder unbeteiligt lässt, die RAF-Mitglieder mythisch überhöht und ob er den Debatten zum Thema RAF eine neue Richtung zu geben vermag. Wegen einiger Darstellungen ergingen gerichtliche Klagen gegen die Macher.

(cz) Německo v průběhu sedmdesátých let minulého století prožilo prudký vzestup radikálního hnutí, do jehož čela se postavili zakladatelé teroristické skupiny RAF Baader, Meinhofová a Ensslinová. Biografické politické drama vypráví o jejich vzestupu i pádu…
V Německu se píše rok 1967. Levicová novinářka Ulrike Meinhofová (Martina Gedeck) je šokovaná zprávami o krvavé demonstraci v Berlíně. Když si uvědomí, že její manželství skončilo, odstěhuje se do německé metropole i se svými dvěma dětmi a začne se aktivně angažovat v protivládním a protikapitalistickém hnutí. Silně na ni zapůsobí čin Gudrun Ensslinové (Johanna Wokalek) a jejího přítele Andrease Baadera (Moritz Bleibtreu) na protest proti vietnamské válce. Baader je zatčen, Meinhofová, která podporuje jeho osvobození, přeruší veškeré vazby s dosavadním životem, opustí své děti a s Baaderem a Ensslinovou založí Odbojovou rudou armádu (RAF - Red Army Fraction). Jejím cílem je vést ozbrojený politický boj všemi prostředky. Po vojenském výcviku v táboru teroristické skupiny Al Fatah v Jordánsku skupina začne přepadat banky, provede několik násilných a vražedných útoků a počet mrtvých rychle narůstá. Šéf německé federální policie Horst Herold (Bruno Ganz) proti nim postaví mimořádně silnou policejní jednotku a v roce 1972 úspěšně zadrží všechny vůdce i další členy skupiny. Politická síla hnutí však přesto prudce roste, do RAF vstupují noví členové, Meinhofová, Baader a Ensslinová se stávají ikonami radikalistického hnutí. Na podzim 1977 však spor mezi RAF a vládou vyvrcholí. Šest týdnů po únosu významného byznysmena skupina unese letadlo s 86 německými turisty na palubě…

A Venetian Backyard



The last mystery photo was such a resounding success (!) that I'm going to give you all another opportunity to display your knowledge of Venice.
This corte was under restoration for at least a couple of years, as I tried to get in to take a photo on several visits. Below is the reason that I was trying to get a photo.
This photo comes from "Things Seen in Venice" by L. and L.M. Ragg, published in 1931, so I hope it's out of copyright. It was captioned "A Venetian Backyard". If you haven't been into this backyard, you will have great difficulty in finding it, as it is off the beaten track, so I will give you a bit of help – it's quite near to San Zanipolo.
For those who can't wait, here is the answer (in white): Corte de la Botera
You just need to drag your cursor over the area to see the words.

Btw, Pierre is back and will be posting again soon. I will post now and again.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm_oil

(en) Palm oil has become one of the most ubiquitous products around, found in everything from lipstick to margarine and toothpaste. It’s estimated that one in every ten supermarket products contain it, usually described simply as ‘vegetable oil’. Now Palm Oil is being touted as a sustainable alternative to the world’s energy problems. But environmentalists claim palm oil cultivation is contributing to global warming and threatening biodiversity, leading to rivers being polluted and indigenous people being forced from their land. Much of the world’s palm oil comes from plantations in Indonesia. It’s grown on land ‘reclaimed’ from the rainforest, driving animals like orang-utans into extinction.

(fr) Les bois de qualité moindre rejoindront les usines de transformation de pâte a papier. En quelques heures, le paysage se transforme : la foret vierge disparaît sous les coups de boutoirs des pelleteuses. Une atteinte irréversible a la biodiversité.
En 2008, l'Indonésie détient toujours le taux de déforestation le plus fort du monde : l'équivalent d'un terrain de football toutes les 15 secondes. Le feu se charge de nettoyer ce qui reste de foret primaire. Allumés volontairement a la saison seche, ces incendies géants brulent forets et tourbieres pendant des semaines.
Le carbone dégagé par cette gigantesque combustion a fait de l'Indonésie le troisieme pays émetteur de gaz a effets de serre de la planete, apres la Chine et les Etats-Unis. Des palmiers a huile remplacent la perte de l'ancienne foret qui occupait 80% de l'espace. Une monoculture rentable, a perte de vue. Depuis peu, l'huile de palme entre dans la composition du carburant. Une loi, votée par le Parlement européen, impose un taux de 5,75% de biocarburants d'ici 2010 et de 10% d'ici 2020. Conséquence directe de cette loi : l'importation massive d'huile de palme sur notre continent. Une huile beaucoup moins chere que l'huile de colza et produite avec un faible cout de main d'ouvre.
Malaisie et Indonésie, les deux principaux pays producteurs étendent leurs cultures de palmiers a huile sur tout leur territoire. Une ruée vers l'or vert aux conséquences dramatiques : la déforestation massive de la foret vierge, un trésor inestimable pour la biodiversité

(cz) Z palmového oleje se stává stále důležitější komodita a podle odhadů ho v sobě obsahuje každý desátý výrobek na trhu. A zatímco Evropa si na něj pořád zvyká, země jihovýchodní Asie na něm postavily svou ekonomiku. Vedle potravinářského a chemického průmyslu totiž slouží i jako alternativa k fosilním palivům a možná odpověď na hrozící energetickou krizi. Obrovský boom pěstování palmy olejné s sebou ale samozřejmě nese i problémy. Neúměrně zatěžuje životní prostředí a lidé tak stojí před dalším důležitým rozhodnutím.

Italy in the 30s. Tonino, a sad faced, freckled peasant, comes to Rome to kill Mussolini. He has anarchist connections, and his contact in Rome is Salome, a lively flapper and popular professional at the bordello where she lives. She introduces him as her cousin, giving him access to the brothel, and she helps him prepare for the assassination, scheduled a few days after his arrival. Within a day, he has fallen in love with Tripolina, one of the younger prostitutes. Tonino does the madam a favor, and, in exchange, Tripolina gets two days off to spend with him. How will this love affair, Salome's political will, and the assassination plans play out?

Sex in a Cold Climate documents the testimony of four women who sexually and cruelly abused in the Magdalene Asylum (the name comes from a biblical figure, Mary Magdalene) run by Catholic nuns in Ireland. When the documentary first aired, it was watched by nearly three million people and encouraged hundreds of women who abused in the Asylums (a real hell for children) to reveal themselves. Aside from the film the Magdalene Sisters, which was inspired by the documentary, it's far more shocking to listen to the real victims and realize that how memories of these horrific events haunted them and affected and shattered their later life.

(en) A documentary exploring the pro-sex movement over the past three decades through interviews with activists, sex workers and performers alongside archive footage of actions and excerpts from feminist pornography. The pro-sex feminist movement began in the United States in the 1980s. Among other things it asserts that pornography must be taken outside of patriarchal control, and that in the hands of women and sexual minorities it can become a tool of liberation. Despentes (Baise Moi) takes a wide ranging look at the movement, conducting interviews with key figures in the USA, France and Spain, and mapping the evolution of pro-sex, or post-porn, from its pioneers like Annie Sprinkle to newer European work like Emilie Jouvet's Too Much Pussy! Thought provoking and explicit, Mutantes is part of a very queer feminist revolution.

(en) Part documentary, part expose, this film follows one-time child evangelist Marjoe Gortner on the "church tent" Revivalist circuit, commenting on the showmanship of Evangelism and "the religion business", prior to the start of "televangelism".

(cz) Americký film oceněný Oskarem za nejlepší dokument lze nahlížet jako pomstu člověka negativně poznamenaného náboženským fanatismem. Evangelista Marjoe Gortner (kombinace jmen MARie a JOsef) byl jako šestileté dítě využit vlastními rodiči k podvodu: přinucen prohlašovat, že jej Bůh inspiroval k tomu, aby se přes svůj útlý věk vydal na kazatelskou dráhu, byl mezi evangelisty považován za Boží zázrak a stal se proti své vůli prostředkem, jak z důvěřivých věřících vymámit peníze. V dospělosti Marjoa nicméně přemohly výčitky svědomí a on se rozhodl na kameru odhalit veškeré taktiky, které evangeličtí a televizní kazatelé používají k obelhání lidí.

(en) Astronomer Dr. Carl Sagan is host and narrator of this 13-hour series that originally aired on Public Broadcasting Stations in the United States. Dr. Sagan describes the universe in a way that appeals to a mass audience, by using Earth as a reference point, by speaking in terms intelligible to non-scientific people, by relating the exploration of space to that of the Earth by pioneers of old, and by citing such Earth legends as the Library of Alexandria as metaphors for space-related future events. Among Dr. Sagan's favorite topics are the origins of life, the search for life on Mars, the infernal composition of the atmosphere of Venus and a warning about a similar effect taking place on Earth due to global pollution and the "greenhouse effect", the lives of stars, interstellar travel and the effects of attaining the speed of light, the danger of mankind technologically self-destructing, and the search, using radio technology, for intelligent life in deep space.

(cz) V úvodu 13dílné ságy Cosmos nás průvodce vezme na cestu nekonečným vesmírným oceánem. Zavede nás do oblasti galaxií vzdálených až osm miliard světelných let od nás. Přes souhvězdí Herkula, Pegase, Andromedy a další se dostaneme do nádherné Mléčné dráhy a představíme si celou sluneční soustavu.

Cosmos - Pobřeží vesmírného oceánu / Jeden hlas vesmírné fugy:
V úvodu ságy Cosmos scénáristy Carla Sagana nás průvodce vezme na cestu nekonečným vesmírným oceánem. Zavede nás do oblasti galaxií vzdálených až osm miliard světelných let od nás. Přes souhvězdí Herkula, Pegase, Andromedy a další se dostaneme do nádherné Mléčné dráhy a představíme si celou sluneční soustavu.

Cosmos - Vyprávění cestovatele:
V této epizodě ságy Cosmos scénáristy Carla Sagana se tentokrát spolu s průvodcem vypravíme z planety Země na návštěvu obřích sourozenců z vnější strany naší sluneční rodiny. Dopravu nám zprostředkuje sonda Voyager. S ní navštívíme Jupiter a jeho čtyři velké záhadné měsíce, proletíme rudými mraky Saturnu a podíváme se , z čeho se skládají jeho prstence.

Cosmos - Nebe a peklo:
Tato epizoda úchvatné ságy Cosmos scénáristy Carla Sagana se zabývá možným osudem planet sluneční soustavy. Zatímco Země je nádherným a víceméně klidným místem a život na ní může z pohledu zvenčí připomínat ráj, ve vesmíru existují i světy podobající se peklu. Náš průvodce vesmírem předkládá shromážděné domněnky a důkazy o tom, že Zemi zasáhl obrovský meteorit nebo kometa.

Cosmos - Harmonie světů:
V této epizodě ságy Cosmos se Dr. Sagan snaží najít souzvuk a harmonii mezi způsobem našeho myšlení a funkcí světa. Nejprve na praktických příkladech vysvětluje, jaký je rozdíl mezi astrologií a astronomií. Následuje zajímavý přehled dějin astronomie od prvních pozorování noční oblohy, pojmenovávání různých souhvězdí a konstrukce primitivních astronomických observatoří.

Cosmos - Blues pro rudou planetu:
Tato epizoda ságy Cosmos od scénáristy Carla Sagana je tentokrát věnovaná naší nejbližší planetě - Marsu. Rudá planeta byla vždy opředena mýty a fantaziemi a několikrát v minulosti Zemi zachvátila hotová Mars-mánie, kdy převládalo přesvědčení o existenci života na Marsu. Průvodce vesmírem nám představí nejprve fiktivní výpravy na Mars a poté i cesty skutečné.

Where am I?

In response to the request of Anonymous (Wednesday), I am posting a mystery photo. Now, this shouldn't be too hard for the real fans of Venice. The pattern of the ironwork of the bridge is unique so far as I know. I had to wait a long time to get a photo without people on the bridge or a gondola gliding beneath it, as the bridge is on a really busy thoroughfare, both of land and of water.

The problem is that the first person to get it sort of spoils it for people who perhaps need a bit longer, or who are in a different time zone and so see it later. I could write the location in white text, but I don't know if you have that option. You could email me the answer, but what's the point? - there's no prize. If you know it, you know it, and you don't need me to tell you that you are right. If you are not sure, you can check it out on veniceconnected. I hope that Anonymous will have a go, and let me know if he (or she) knows where it is. So, if you know where this is, don't say unless you can write in white. Just say that you know where it is in the comments, as I'd like to know how easy or difficult this one is. I will post the answer in a couple of days.

(en) Human beings don't have a monopoly on the delicate art of seduction. Males and females of the animal kingdom offer us extraordinary examples of nuptial parades, in which they display sometimes unexpected ingenuity, daring, and determination.
Thanks to Laurent Charbonnier's camerawork, we can at last discover these rare moments that seem to echo other forms of behavior familiar to us.

(cz) Rok co rok celá naše země zní zpěvem, reptáním a výkřiky – milostným voláním zvířat. Okázalé tance a dary jsou často nejlepšími prostředky k přivábení samičky/samečka a pro diváky se tak naskýtá mnohdy směšná či jímavá, ale vždy úžasných podívaná.

Delfíni, lvi, ryby, ptáci, klokani, opice, krabi nebo hmyz, všichni tito jedinci se snaží okouzlit toho druhého za účelem páření a zplození života. Jejich obřady lásky jsou jako zrcadlo, ve kterém se člověk dost často poznává…

Skrz nádherné a dojemné obrazy nás Les Animaux amoureux zve na cestu do různých koutů světa, abychom shlédli ty nejneobyčejnější milostné eposy.

Mozart: la musica che fa stare tranquilli

Si è sempre detto che la musica di Mozart ispira calma e serenità.
Anche il filosofo Hegel esaltava questa caratteristica di Mozart.

Roasted Red Pepper Sauce and Fettuccine in Foil

Lately we've been loving roasted red pepper sauce, a simple combination of homemade marinara blended with roasted red peppers creates a dynamic flavor combination, toss it in some pasta and it is hard to resist!


Every couple of weeks or so I make a huge pot of marinara, I buy a 6lb can of San Marzano tomatoes, saute 12 to 15 cloves of chopped garlic in 3/4 cup of olive oil, 5 teaspoons of salt, pepper and lots of basil, sometimes I might add a small onion but most times I don't.


After it simmers for a good while I let it cool down, pour it into containers and stick it in the freezer for when ever I need it. In this case I held one out to make my roasted red pepper sauce.


I suggest roasting your own peppers, I personally don't like the flavor of the jarred ones and besides, they're too watery for this recipe. I put mine which were drizzled with olive oil, salt and pepper under the broiler, keep watching them until they're soft and slightly charred. Peel the skin off and whirl them in your food processor.


Look at that color isn't it beautiful? Now all you have to do is spoon your already highly flavored marinara into the mix, as much as you want accordingly to your own taste, until you reach the perfect balance of pepper verses tomato. The more pepper flavor the better, that's what you're aiming for here.
My al' dente cooked fettuccine was then tossed with that luscious roasted red pepper sauce, pre roasted eggplant, cherry tomatoes, zucchini and artichokes, I added in some olives, lots of basil and parsley.

For a rustic presentation I placed it into individual foil packets and top it with a few pieces of fresh mozzarella, seal it tight and put it in a 350F oven for 15 minutes until cheese gets gooey and heated through.
So Good!


Buon Appetito!

Your guess is as good as mine - maybe even better.

These two terra cotta figures are on a wall of the courtyard of the Palazzo Barbaro. I have no idea what they represent or what they are for - if they are for anything. Sensible or amusing suggestions welcome. There seems to be some sort of bracket between them, which I did not notice when I took the photo.

(en) (translator) Zanon's owner, an Italian who began doing business during the last military dictatorship and continued for all democratic governments, decided to leave out of work more than half of its employees on the grounds of: the country's crisis. Under its terms, or drastically reducing staff or closing the factory. In October 2001, the Zanon workers took the decision to continue producing without the bosses. The economic results were successful (sales growth, creation of new jobs) and political scope of what seemed like an adventure, more extensive than one might think. Incalcaterra records the organization of the workers inside the factory and the evolution of the legal dispute out of it. The self does not seem a bad idea after all.

Incalcaterra záznamy organizácie pracujúcich v závode a vývoj právneho sporu z nej. Ja sa nezdá byť zlý nápad.

(en) The late Rachel Corrie (1979 - 2003) was articulate, straightforward and resolute. Her castigation of Israel's military occupation of the Palestinian people and the Israeli Government's disregard for the safety of Israelis and Palestinians rang with clarity. Through peace activism she ascertained the facts on the ground. She called it as she saw it.
The documentary, "Rachel Corrie: An American Conscience," chronicles her humanitarian work with the International Solidarity Movement in Rafah, Gaza Strip, just prior to her murder in March 2003. While Corrie stood in front of a Palestinian home to prevent its demolition, an Israeli soldier in a Caterpillar D-9 bulldozer crushed her.
Director Yahya Barakat, a professor in the Mass Media and TV Department at Al-Quds University in Jerusalem, edited 80 hours of film footage from Gaza, the West Bank and Olympia, Washington for two years. He created a cinematic collage of international voices; people who work for peace and who support the Palestinians in their daily life activities. Through interviews, Barakat presents a collective chastisement of the military occupation, the U.S. and Israeli Governments, as well as U.S. mainstream media.
