Cargo ship crashes into bridge, removing a section of it

A cargo ship named The Delta Mariner pauses in the water after colliding with a southwestern Kentucky bridge
that partially collapsed when it was struck Friday, Jan. 27, 2012, near Aurora, Ky.
The ship was traveling upriver toward the Kentucky Lock and Dam when it hit the aging steel bridge,
which was built in the 1930s and handles about 2,800 vehicles a day.

The Delta Mariner struck the main span of the Eggner Ferry Bridge on Thursday evening at U.S. Highway 68 and Kentucky Highway 80.

Blizzard paralyzes southern Romania

Blizzard paralyzes southern Romania
By Jonathan Woods

If you think Chicago had it bad last winter, check out the blizzard that dumped three feet of snow in under a day over swaths of Southern Romania.

Areas near Bucharest were so paralyzed by the storm that in one instance, the army was called in to help rescue hundreds of travelers stranded on major interstates.
The winter blast also caused widespread power outages, a train derailment, flight cancellations and the closure of four ports.

A man speaks on the phone from a snow stranded vehicle on the outskirts of Bucharest
The man, who declined to be identified, spent the night in the car fearing it would be damaged by road clearing vehicles if he abandoned it.

People walk in a blizzard in the village of Catelu, southeast of Bucharest, on Thursday

Silk From 1 Million Spiders Made this Gorgeous Cape

noreply@blogger.com (ePosVriende ePosVriende) — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 14:40:00 +0000

Silk From 1 Million Spiders Made this Gorgeous Cape

It's eccentric and completely outrageous but it is gorgeous.
This cape, on display at London's Victoria & Albert Museum, is made out of the threads that a spider uses to make its web.
The colour is completely natural: exactly what comes out of the spider.

Some statistics: It took four years and one million spiders to make the cape.
Each morning 80 people in Madagascar go out and collect the female Golden Orb (Nephilo madagascariensis) spiders which are common to the highlands.
The spiders are 2" in size and fit in the palm of your hand.

They are brought to the silking facility, and the "silk" which is emitted from the underside of the spider's abdomen is collected.
You can get 40 yards of it from one spider.
Then they take the spiders back out into nature in the afternoon and set them free.
They are not hurt during the process.

The silk strands are collected and put onto the bobbins.
It takes 24 strands to make a single thread.
However this may be too fine so usually they use 96 strand thread.
The spider silk thread is then woven on a loom. Whew!

So how did this happen.
Two men, Simon Peers, a textile designer and researcher and Nicholas Godley, an entrepreneur, initiated the project.
Simon has lived in Madagascar for over twenty years and was fascinated by the weaving and textiles of the land.
Peers wanted to revive the local traditions of weaving and whilst doing research stumbled upon the story of this extracted silk.
It was an irresistible draw; he was hooked.

He explained that the idea is at least three hundred years old.
The Solomon Islanders grabbed the webs with bamboo poles from the trees; they made masks from it as ritualistic objects.

It has been written about in text books, and Rube-Goldberg-like contraptions have been created by a French colonial administrator to do it (see above).
At the end of the nineteenth century there was even a college to train spider silk weavers and then because of the many difficulties and expense the industry died out.

The two men worked for eight years to develop this project.
In 2004 they started "silking" spiders and by 2008 it became a reality.

The first thing that they made out of the silk was this magnificent shawl.
It took four years to complete and is woven from threads twisted from 96 individual spider strands.
The heavier brocaded part is made from 960 twisted strands.

Then they moved onto the cape.
Why a cape format?
It was conceived by the designer as a homage to the spider using both embroidery and brocade.
It is decorated with lovely spider images, flowers and a clasp that looks like a web.

Meet Dusty, the Cat Burglar ...

noreply@blogger.com (ePosVriende ePosVriende) — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 14:38:00 +0000

Meet Dusty, the Cat Burglar ...
By Daily Mail Reporter - 21st June 2011

Sitting pretty: Dusty hangs out in one of his favourite places at home - the upstairs bathroom sink

He’s been caught stealing hundreds of items from homes, so you’d have thought police would have locked up this prolific burglar by now.
But the strange thing about Dusty is not that he’s only aged five years old, but that he’s a cat.
Neighbours were mystified for years as their possessions went missing and had feared they were being targeted by a real criminal.

The prolific cat burglar Dusty, from San Mateo, California, has stolen gloves, towels, shoes and many other items from households since owner Jean Chu adopted him from the Humane Society. Dusty has a special love for swimsuits - and neighbour Kelly McLellan says he stole her bikini on two separate trips. She said he appeared focused on keeping the ensemble...

Stolen stash: Dusty the cat sits among the toys and other items he has stolen from neighbours

Minor celebrity: Dusty's owners, Jean Chu and Jim Coleman, are pictured with their cat on the Letterman show. The cat's thieving has made him a minor celebrity.
'It's extreme, but it's absolutely adorable,' cat behaviour expert Marilyn Krieger said.

Huge haul: Dusty has stolen piles of more than 600 items - and even pulled an incredible bounty of 11 household items from nearby homes in a single evening.

Collection: Jim Coleman and his wife Jean Chu, stack piles of items that their cat has brought home over the years to their house.

Ms Chu told the San Francisco Chronicle Dusty has a 'form of OCD' and neurological problems.
Cat experts say Dusty's predatory instincts have gone astray, leaving him hunting for people's stuff.
Ms Chu's husband, Jim Coleman, said Dusty something brings home 'expensive' things. 'I get a little worried about that,' he added.

Dusty is also known to steal stuffed toys from local residents.
His crime sprees emerged when The Animal Planet television show 'Must Love Cats' installed a camera outside the house and captured his nightly forays for a week.

Neighbours keep a watch for the cat but his victims do not intend to file police reports. They say that when something goes missing they simply visit Dusty's owners.

7 Klippies

noreply@blogger.com (ePosVriende ePosVriende) — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 10:41:00 +0000

7 Klippies

Daar's sewe klippies in jou sak
Deur die Here vir jou ingepak
Sodat jy ene weg kan gooi
Vir elke tiende jaar voltooi.

Eerste klippie, geen probleem
Die spel sal donkiejare neem,
Dink ons in ydel kinderwaan
Die lewe gaan vir ewig aan.

Op twintig waai die tweede klip,
Pragtig en rooi van lip,
Windmakerder kan jy nie kry,
Wat ek wil, skuld die wêreld my.

Klippie drie die laat jou dink,
Vir dertig jaar het jy rinkink,
Vier sewendes is daar nou oor,
Om op te maak vir tyd verloor.

As uit jou hand die vierde val,
Dan vlek die grys jou slape al,
En dit wat in die sak oorbly,
Te min om als gedoen te kry.

Dan kom jy by vyftig,
Nou galop die tyd te vlytig,
En na die bult-op lewenspad,
Beginne jy die afdraand vat.

Voor laaste klippie nommer ses
Glip uit die sak voor jy sê mes
Die wat gewerk het vir n baas
Kry sy persent en groet vir laas.

O wee, o wee, nou klippie sewe,
Skriftuurlik het jy klaar gelewe,
Daar kom nou veel genade kort
Vir die wat dalk wil tagtig word.

Daar is natuurlik taai kalante,
Jy sien hul soms in die koerante,
Wat net nie wil die emmer skop
En eers na honderd om sal dop.

Of jy nou tot vervelens lewe,
Of tata sê hier rondom sewe,
By watter klip jy ookal stop,
Gaan sal ons, die tyd raak op.

Ek wens jou dus n sakvol klip,
Genoeg vir daardie honderd trip
En vreugde in jou kook en bak,
Tot jou knië daar op oudag knak.

Nou ja, ou maat, daar het jy dit,
Al wat ons nou kan doen is bid
Vir gesondheid, liefde en geluk,
Met voorspoed vir die oorblystuk

MieliePap Muffins

noreply@blogger.com (ePosVriende ePosVriende) — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 10:24:00 +0000

Mieliepap muffins...       Saam met braaivleis!


Jy benodig (vir 6)

• 2 koppies mieliemeel
• 4 koppies water
• 1 teelepel sout
• 3 eetlepels olyfolie of botter
• 2 eiers
• 2 hande vol kaas, gerasper
• 4 eetlepels gekapte vars kruie, of 1 eetlepel droë kruie
• 1 teelepel rooipeper
• 1 teelepel paprika
• 1 koppie heel mieliepitte
• 6 sondroogtamaties, gekap
• 12 kersietamaties, gehalveer
  Só maak jy

Voorverhit die oond tot 200 ºC.
Maak eers die pap. Bring die water en sout tot kookpunt. Voeg die mieliemeel daarby
en roer tot dit verdik.
Laat dit met ’n deksel op prut vir 10 minute.
Verwyder dit van die hitte en laat die pap afkoel.
Meng die res van die bestanddele saam en voeg die koue pap daarby.
Skep die mengsel in ’n gesmeerde muffinpan.
Skep dit maar vol, want dit rys glad nie.
Bak die muffins vir ongeveer 20 minute.

Wenk: Die muffins is ’n blink plan as jy oorskietpap het.
Gooi ’n hand of drie vol gebraaide spek of oorskietboerewors by en eet dit vir brekfis.
Dis ’n geduldige resep dié.

Red Bull Office Netherlands

noreply@blogger.com (ePosVriende ePosVriende) — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 13:26:00 +0000

After months of construction Red Bull’s Dutch subsidiary, Red Bull Netherlands,
can finally settle into its new offices at the Media Wharf office complex in Amsterdam’s Port area.

Designed by Sid Lee Architecture, the 10,763 square feet space has a theme of polarity - light and dark, art and business, public and private.

This theme is showcased in the seemingly street culture style of the walls, large ominous and angular black structures
occupying the space and light wood rectangular cafeteria tables with bright orange chairs that all contrast with one another in colour, texture and meaning.

Red Bull Netherlands’s director Jan Smilde was quoted as saying that the company wanted a location with an
entrepreneurial spirit where they would have the freedom to develop innovative ideas and events.

Red Bull Offices Cape Town

noreply@blogger.com (ePosVriende ePosVriende) — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 13:18:00 +0000

Its now time to offer up an extraordinary Red Bull space from South Africa.

The Red Bull offices based in Cape Town were designed and created by local
architecture firm COA who stated that the “office is an open, creative hub where all employees,
athletes, artists, photographers, designers, DJs, musicians, producers, agencies, brand partners,
journalists and Red Bull visitors are made welcome and want to hang out in.”

The graphic wallpaper, mixture of colours and textures, creative use of lighting,
furniture and open spaces reflects Red Bull’s extreme, entertaining and ‘zest for life’ image.

Elke vrou het 'n kruie geur

noreply@blogger.com (ePosVriende ePosVriende) — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 09:12:00 +0000

ELKE VROU HET ‘N KRUIEGEUR

Die een vriendin laat jou dink aan Naeltjies – deurdringend sterk – ‘n noodsaaklikheid vir sekere tye van jou lewe.

‘n Naeltjieboom groei glo net waar die see gesien kan word.

Dan is daar die Neut-vrou.

Sy verleen daardie effens prikkelende geur met haar teenwoordigheid.

Jy sien haar nie dikwels nie, maar sy is altyd daar.

‘n Paprika-vriendin het ek beslis.

Altyd kleurvol, dra gedurig rooi, uitbundig en leef voluit, maar altyd smaakvol.

In elke vriendekring is daar ‘n Swartpepervrou-ontonbeerlik, maar jy moet haar reg hanteer anders kom haar skerpheid na vore.

Dit is dus verstandiger om haar in klein dosisse te kan geniet.

En wie wil nou nie ‘n Kaneel vriendin hê nie?

Sy verleen ‘n heerlik soet, fyn geur aan jou vriendskaptuin.

Met haar snoesige roeskleur woltrui vul sy die vertrek met warmte en met haar sonnige geaardheid verdryf sy die kwaaiste winteroggend.

Sy sal nie maklik oordadig wees nie.

‘n Roosmaryn vriendin kom nie ongemerk ‘n vertrek binne nie.

Sy maak dadelik indruk met die manier waarop sy loop, lag, praat en aantrek.

As sy weg is, hang die geur van haar bekende parfuum nog ‘n tyd in die lug.

Dit is nie verniet bekend dat roosmaryn die geheue versterk nie.

‘n Ander vriendin waarsonder ek nie wil wees nie, is die Pietersielie vrou.

Sy is soos die bekende kruid, ‘n noodsaaklikheid in jou vriendekring.

Sy verleen die nodige versiering aan elke gesprek.

Haar advies is altyd deurdink en getuig van goeie smaak.

‘n Tiemie vriendin is nie oordadig met haar kuiertjies nie.

Sy hou dit kort en haar gesprekke is prikkelend en aktueel.

Sy verleen net daardie tikkie goeie smaak met haar teenwoordigheid.

(In Griekeland is dit ‘n kompliment as iemand vir jou sê jy ruik na tiemie.)

Laastens kry jy natuurlik die gemengdespeserye vrou.

Sy is ‘n heerlike veelsydige mengsel van vrolikheid, talentvolheid, bekwaarmheid en kunstigheid.

Nog ‘n moet in elke vriendekring.

Die besondere kruietuin van my, sal ek versorg en elke dag water gee.

A Baby's Hug

noreply@blogger.com (ePosVriende ePosVriende) — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 07:32:00 +0000

~ A Baby's Hug ~

We were the only family with children in the restaurant. I sat Erik in a high chair and noticed everyone was quietly sitting and talking. Suddenly, Erik squealed with glee and said, 'Hi.' He pounded his fat baby hands on the high chair tray. His eyes were crinkled in laughter and his mouth was bared in a toothless grin, as he wriggled and giggled with merriment.

I looked around and saw the source of his merriment. It was a man whose pants were baggy with a zipper at half-mast and his toes poked out of would-be shoes. His shirt was dirty and his hair was uncombed and unwashed. His whiskers were too short to be called a beard and his nose was so varicose it looked like a road map.

We were too far from him to smell, but I was sure he smelled.. His hands waved and flapped on loose wrists. 'Hi there, baby; hi there, big boy.. I see ya, buster,' the man said to Erik.

My husband and I exchanged looks,
'What do we do?'

Erik continued to laugh and answer, 'Hi.'

Everyone in the restaurant noticed and looked at us and then at the man. The old geezer was creating a nuisance with my beautiful baby. Our meal came and the man began shouting from across the room, 'Do ya patty cake? Do you know peek-a-boo? Hey, look, he knows peek- a-boo.'

Nobody thought the old man was cute. He was obviously drunk.

My husband and I were embarrassed. We ate in silence; all except for Erik, who was running through his repertoire for the admiring skid-row bum, who in turn, reciprocated with his cute comments.

We finally got through the meal and headed for the door. My husband went to pay the check and told me to meet him in the parking lot. The old man sat poised between me and the door. 'Lord, just let me out of here before he speaks to me or Erik,' I prayed. As I drew closer to the man, I turned my back trying to sidestep him and avoid any air he might be breathing. As I did, Erik leaned over my arm, reaching with both arms in a baby's 'pick-me-up' position. Before I could stop him, Erik had propelled himself from my arms to the man.
Suddenly a very old smelly man and a very young baby consummated their love and kinship. Erik in an act of total trust, love, and submission laid his tiny head upon the man's ragged shoulder. The man's eyes closed, and I saw tears hover beneath his lashes. His aged hands full of grime, pain, and hard labor, cradled my baby's bottom and stroked his back. No two beings have ever loved so deeply for so short a time.

I stood awestruck. The old man rocked and cradled Erik in his arms and his eyes opened and set squarely on mine. He said in a firm commanding voice, 'You take care of this baby.'

Somehow I managed, 'I will,' from a throat that contained a stone.

He pried Erik from his chest, lovingly and longingly, as though he were in pain. I received my baby, and the man said, 'God bless you, ma'am, you've given me my Christmas gift.'

I said nothing more than a muttered thanks. With Erik in my arms, I ran for the car. My husband was wondering why I was crying and holding Erik so tightly, and why I was saying, 'My God, my God, forgive me.'

I had just witnessed Christ's love shown through the innocence of a tiny child who saw no sin, who made no judgment; a child who saw a soul, and a mother who saw a suit of clothes. I was a Christian who was blind, holding a child who was not. I felt it was God asking, 'Are you willing to share your son for a moment?' when He shared His for all eternity. How did God feel when he put his baby in our arms 2000 years ago.

The ragged old man, unwittingly, had reminded me, 'To enter the Kingdom of God , we must become as little children.'

If this has blessed you, please bless others by sending it on. Sometimes, it takes a child to remind us of what is really important. We must always remember who we are, where we came from and, most importantly, how we feel about others. The clothes on your back or the car that you drive or the house that you live in does not define you at all; it is how you treat your fellow man that identifies who you are.

“It is better to be liked for the true you, than to be loved for who people think you are.....

Morning Fog

noreply@blogger.com (ePosVriende ePosVriende) — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 14:21:00 +0000

alMorning fog shrouds the surface of Bear Pond and the valleys below

Evening winds stir the robes of a Tuareg striding across Algeria's Tassili-n-Ajjer.

Sunlight dapples the shoulders of Algonquin and Wright.
Once blighted by logging and industry, the region has undergone a renaissance of woods and waters.

On the Brink
Australian Jim Mitchell leaps off Ottawa Peak on Canada's Baffin Island while wearing a wing suit in April 2010.
He died weeks later when a jump from a nearby mountain went tragically awry.

The palette of the Adirondack forest shifts with the seasons.
In the delicate tracery of a viburnum leaf, summer’s green gives way to autumn’s red as chlorophyll fades and underlying pigments emerge.

Conifers green the crevices of Catamount Mountain while the forest below is in its last incandescence before winter. St. Regis Mountain.

'n Lewe wat saak maak

noreply@blogger.com (ePosVriende ePosVriende) — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 11:14:00 +0000

'n Lewe wat Saak Maak

Of ons gereed is of nie, eendag kom alles tot ‘n einde.
Daar sal geen sonsopkoms meer wees nie, geen minute, geen ure, geen dae nie.
Alles wat jy bymekaar gemaak het, of dit nou vir jou kosbaar is of nie, sal aan iemand anders behoort.

Jou rykdom, jou roem, jou wêreldse mag sal verskrompel tot onbelangrikheid.
Dit sal nie saak maak wat jy besit het nie of wat aan jou verskuldig is nie.
Jou haat, griewe, frustrasies en jaloesies sal uiteindelik verdwyn.

Maar so sal ook jou hoop, ambisies, planne en moet doen-lysies verval.

Die winste en verliese wat eens so belangrik gelyk het, sal vervaag.
Dit sal nie saak maak waar jy vandaan kom nie, of aan watter kant van die spoorlyn jy gebly het nie.
Dit sal nie saak maak of jy beeldskoon of briljant was nie.

Of jy ‘n man of vrou is, en wat die kleur van jou vel is, sal onbelangrik wees.

So, wat sal saak maak? Hoe sal die waarde van jou dae gemeet word?

Dit sal nie saak maak wat jy gekoop het nie, maar wat jy gebou het; nie wat jy het nie, maar wat jy gegee het.
Jou suksesse sal nie saak maak nie, maar wat jy vir die wêreld beteken het.

Dit sal nie saak maak wat jy geleer het nie, maar wat jy ander geleer het.

Elke daad van integriteit, medelye, moed of opoffering wat ander se lewens verryk, bemagtig of aangemoedig het om jou voorbeeld te volg, sal saak maak.
Jou bevoegdheid sal nie saak maak nie, maar jou karakter.

Dit sal nie saak maak hoeveel mense jy geken het nie, maar hoeveel mense jou vir altyd gaan mis wanneer jy weg is.
Jou herinneringe sal nie saak maak nie, maar wel die herinneringe aan jou wat sal bly voortleef in dié wat jou liefgehad het.
Dit sal saak maak hoe lank mense jou onthou, wie jou onthou en waarvoor jy onthou sal word.

Om ‘n lewe te leef wat saak maak gebeur nie per ongeluk nie. Dis nie ‘n kwessie van omstandighede nie, maar van keuse. KIES om ‘n lewe te leef wat saak maak.

Lewe terwyl jy lewe, want wie weet waar lê môre.

Klapperysballe (Coconut balls)

1 blik (397g) kondensmelk

830ml versiersuiker, gesif

900ml Klapper

5ml (1t) Vanienje geursel

‘n paar druppels pienk koekkleursel

(Vervang ‘n gedeelte van die versiersuiker met die aarbei gegeurde versiersuiker.

Dit smaak heerlik en het sommer ‘n mooi kleur ook. Dan kan jy die Vanielje en Kleursel uitlos)

Gooi alles in groot mengbak en roer goed.

Die mengsel is baie styf, gebruik dus jou hande om alles goed te meng.

Vorm klein balletjies en laat staan dit op ‘n bakplaat met bakpapier uitgevoer tot dit hard word.

Bêre in ‘n lugdigte houer.

IS JY DEEL VAN DIE BROMVOËL-FAMILIE ?

noreply@blogger.com (ePosVriende ePosVriende) — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 08:28:00 +0000

Sonder dat mens dit agterkom kan jy maklik in ŉ bromvoël ontaard, ŉ klakous van die eerste water. En in die laaste tyd, is daar oënskynlik genoegsame redes om te kla in Suid-Afrika, en tog: kla jy nie dalk met ŉ witbrood onder die arm nie? En wil die Here hê ons moet kla? As ek my klalysie ondersoek dan kla ek oor die misdaad, te min reën, te veel reën, die petrolprys, die dokter wat my laat wag, die baie karre op die pad en die voorgestelde tolgelde op die snelweg.

Tot ek gister ŉ e-pos van iemand uit China kry met die volgende statistiek (ek gee dit soos wat ek dit gekry het) wat sê dat indien ŉ mens die wêreldbevolkings proporsioneel tot ŉ 100 verminder sal 80 mense brandarm en 70 ongeletterd wees met net 1 gegradueerde. En as jy ŉ bankrekening het, en ŉ paar munte in jou sak, is jy een van agt bevoorregtes uit die 100. Toe begin ek weer dink. As jy boonop nog nie die verskrikking van ŉ oorlog meegemaak het, die binnekant van ŉ oorvol tronk of die ellende van hongersnood ervaar het nie, is jy beter af as 500 miljoen ander mense. En as jy ongehinderd jou kerk mag bywoon is jy geseënd bo 3 biljoen ander. Met ŉ yskas in jou huis, ŉ dak oor jou kop, ŉ bed en klere vir jou lyf is jy ryker as 71% van die wêreld se bevolking en as jy nou die stukkie kan lees is jy meer bevoorreg as twee biljoen ander. Net vir in geval jy vandag weer wou brom! ( Johann Symington)

IN GESPREK MET JESUS

Here, elke keer wanneer ek wil ophou tel aan my seëninge, word ek weer gewys op ander wie se lot baie swaarder as myne is. Dankie vir U uitsonderlike seën aan my, ook al brom ek.
