Yoga Pose For Meralgia Paresthetica

Ciclovía Know Viña del Mar waterfront

By Otto Lührs


least subjective impressions as possible about the work on the waterfront Viña:

My comments clearly did not arise in a conformist approach "is what you get "" better than nothing "," at least something "or" better than I had before, "
My criticism based on the assumption that the works for the movement of cyclists, should be addressed at least, if no more, the same seriousness and quality standards in design and construction, which made for motorized vehicles.
Regarding the new section, I have several comments:

1, uncoordinated with the department of Bath and Ornament:
- asphalt frequently wet by watering
- garden hoses crossed diagonally, an obstacle that can easily cause falls
- cars toiletries (such Green wheels) placed on the bike path
- no pruning palm leaves hanging at the height of the face

2 nd design creates unnecessary crossings into and out of parking. Perfectly
the route of the bike path could have been done between the parking and the beach, but the design was repeated the first tranche, which places the bike lane between parking and sidewalk east, leaving no room for cars waiting to leave or enter the parking lot without blocking bike path. This design flaw is what we see Mr Osvaldo Urrutia (Director SECPLAN), the section at the sundial Guns-Museum, who welcomed the comments and said the revised. Not only did not correct the design, but it repeated the error in the new section. Interestingly I think the appropriate authority of a formal explanation for this absurd design, based on technical reasons, if any.

3 the physical implementation of bike lanes (design and construction) SOCIAL suffers from an implementation (promotion and education of best practices to users and pedestrians)
As a result, normal foot traffic, including cars bus, which more than discomfort, should raise concerns about potential accidents will occur at any time.)

4 th movement of "Bicycle mosquitoes" in the bike lane.
The truth is I do not know the current regulations to these devices, but I think infamous see (and hear them and smell them) going through the bike path, and also dangerous

5 º uncoordinated SECPLAN - DIRECTION OF TRAFFIC this approach it as a conclusion to the evidence that is tangible in the daily life of the streets viñamarinos gives the impression that Mr. Osvaldo Arias Urrutia and Alamiro not know. The Traffic Division Viña del Mar, unfortunately at work excludes non-motorized transit. Whose function is the proper use of spaces for movement of persons, however is not fulfilling this role in the way of pedestrians and cyclists, and coastal bike path that is a sign of carelessness (I daresay " negligence ", but Mrs. Mayor jumped up aghast when you use the word ugly the last time we met with her following the EXCLUSION of cyclists in the traffic plan for the work of the extension 4 tracks of salt - Renaissance, remember?)

that for now, Otto

Can Cats Have Sudafed

my sorrow for the embalming of

By Otto Lührs

usually to make kinds of Environmental Education, Ecology, NDR, etc., I mention to my students how crucial it is to generate bond between man and nature through meaningful experiences in natural areas, because "I wanted to take care, they want it lived (anonymous)"

experiment This principle is particularly strong in the case of the Rio Baker, whose case with the construction of hidroléctricas affects me deeply, because the love I have for that wonder in the wake of a very special time lived in it.
I want to share a fragment of the log of my cycling, February-March 2002 between Puerto Aysen and Villa O'Higgins, which reflects the time:


Day 7, Thursday 28/02/1902 AVS: 11 km / hr 55 kms.
Emerald Lake Refuge lookout "Vagabond"
are the 22: 00 pm, and am on the lookout shelter Tramp, dominating from above the Baker River valley in the area where the infant was born way to Tortel. This is a shelter-gazebo built by the soldiers at the end of the slope, and the place is simply the most beautiful thing I've seen in my life.
Whoever reads this, maybe myself in a bit longer, then ask him to slow, giving time to the imagination and feeling to recreate, as far as possible this time.
The shelter is large, octagonal-shaped southern barbecue, wood and a large pillar in the center. It has opened windows to the side of the valley and covered with plastic to the hill, where the wind attacks. Down side, there is a balcony with a large tree and on the other hand, a kitchen area with stove, benches, firewood and charcoal.
Upon arrival, I looked where the floorboards were more couples, placed the body of carp lying down between two seats over my mat and sack. From there to the kitchen, tie meat with soy sauce and pepper ... pure tea ...... my view is limited by a chain of snowy peaks lost in the horizon, soon, through which oddly glittering clouds this time of night, I announce the early appearance of the moon ... between my refuge and those mountains, swift and noisy runs the largest river in Chile, is the serpent enlightened Baker as breaks in the darkness of the night making their way in zigzag path between the coyhues forest lining the valley. As if to mimic the river, is drawn over this a thin fog that seeks to make me believe that this is a river that has its own roof ... some stars are afraid to appear between the whole sky almost clear, while a cool breeze from behind me ... and sounds, one vital component of any place that can never be caught by a picture is formed by the powerful roar of the river deep and Baker; by Vagabundo river that smaller giddy runs through the gorge along the refuge and a murmur of frogs croaking envelope giving rise to such a symphony that only nature can create ... I'm happy, living a magical moment. "

What Type Of Hose To Wear With Black Skirt

BAKER Furious ... why? We

By Otto Lührs

From time to time people ask me why the name" Angry cyclists. For them, some images that answer that question: This is the famous "chantavía" Salinas - Reñaca. This section corresponds to the former pink house, the first building along the coast from Salinas to be reborn. This work has a municipal permit to use the sidewalk, is supposed to pay for that permission, but it takes more than a year's work and meanwhile you have to endure situations like this. The gentleman in the truck in the background, was loaded with sand just on the track is free from the pile and the curb, almost did not manage to photograph the complete obstruction of the road. Once I hit a truck parked in the driveway, pulled towards building concrete crossed by a pipeline to no more than 1.50 m in height.
The question is, why when operating in an organized way to motorized is a whole paraphernalia that this intervention affected as little as possible and in any case is complete? In contrast, if the road is pedestrian or cletera, cut without much courtesy or regulation?
And all with the "authorization" of the municipality of Viña.
Plop!


Here another picture that "angry." Three weeks ago, I arrived on a Wednesday at 8:00 a.m. Viña sports gym, which is in Sausalito, where I teach, and guard greets me with an instruction that regulates their use, issued by House of Sport, emphasizes the first point: "bicycles must be parked in the place prepared for that purpose."

Well, the photograph is that place. Sports Gym, a building destined to become one of the pillars in the regional promotion of active lifestyles, provides such eligibility for who we are transported in parts of the motorcycle. Another Plop!

Can You Wax A Car With Pledge Furniture Polish?

bikeways? Autotransportación

By Otto Lührs

Hello baaaaastante
time ago, as some have heard me comment that I dislike the requirement of bike paths in our cicletadas through screams, canvas or other media.
CICLOVIAS is a completely segregated route for cyclists and motorized pedestrian. Therefore, it is one of several alternatives, and rarely the best, because it generates unpleasant discomfort and increase the risks in areas of continuous cross between cyclists and other road users. There are also streets prefrenciales, ciclobandas in sidewalk ciclobandas in driveway, paths shared with pedestrians, and I guess others, giving each an option with advantages or disadvantages are minimized or accentuated depending on the specific condition where it is used. In summary, the alternatives are moved between integration and segregation of users. I join the opinion that says the CICLOVIAS is a solution that Motorists created to bring bikers annoying "their" streets.
Example 1: 8 North is a bike lane in an area that emphasizes minimizing the disadvantages and advantages of a bike path, there was a ciclobanda best in travel. (Minus point for our bright authorities)
Example 2: between saline and underpass Sea Garden is a ciclobanda on sidewalk, in a section that emphasizes minimizing the disadvantages and advantages of ciclobanda, when appropriate in this case was a bike path (another minus point for the authorities, and why Dr. SECPLAN Osvaldo Urrutia said we would do better the things that Kaplan SECPLAN)
Example 3: on the east and west you move in bike without problems, if you know respect discs pairs, yield to the passage, signal turns, etc.., without special tracks. Here the streets are the preferred alternative, which only requires some signage and information distribution among the population. Perhaps limiting the parking of motor on both sides on some streets. But Scarella consultant who is working on the master plan, proposed network of bike paths everywhere ... HORROR!
In conclusion .. Question: Dear CICLOVIAS?? Keep that FLAG FIGHT TO BELIEVE THAT CREATES A RELATIONSHIP simplistic and MFC-V CICLOVIAS WRONG IN THE COMMUNITY?? SOMEONE ELSE IS BORING EXTERNAL TO RELATE TO THE MFCV TE TE TE HA IDO Pegunta AS WITH cycle paths??
Greetings, Otto

Can Neosporin Be Used For Ringworms?



Andrew Muller, an exchange student I had in the PUCV-2006 was traveling on Viña and Valpo in Skate those big ...

What I can do, ................., from my personal life, everyday or professional to help improve environmental problems?

Despite this initial consultation response will offer some considerations which I have already implemented in my daily life not only for improving environmental problems, which of course are present in this reasoning, but also some personal practices that one should use to approach the environment and enhance their intimate relationship with their environment. These practices seek to rescue themselves values \u200b\u200bthat by their nature benefit the environment while also serving the same intrinsically to benefit the person who uses them, physically and psychologically.
The first consideration that pose perhaps the most obvious, the most basic and most recommended for the same reasons but the most important to realize, that would use alternative transportation modes rather than those dependent on harmful fuels. Say walking, biking, skating or any other mode of autotransportación. I have learned to use the concept of autotransportación for a lot of reasons that actually generate a chain of natural benefits to the user even more immediately outside that would minimize the use of oil.
Autotransportación is perhaps the best way to implement physical activity in everyday life. We all have obligations, tasks and various entertainment habits requires us to be mobile. Yes we were disciplined in a way autotransportación use, we would naturally and spontaneously practicing physical actividda, not strive to go to a gym or go for a designated outlet with this specific intention. Not only would be active without worrying aware of it, but also avoid using the car as normal for the gym. In addition, daily autotransportación is a way to get medical benefits that we can cure most of the hardships we suffered, also increased both our private physical capabilities or better than going to the gym or training a special outing.
An argument that we face when we raise the autotransportación benefit is that walking, biking or skating takes too long, the user is limited in its ability to perform all tasks of the day. A pro autotransportación reasons are:
When we take responsibility for our own mode of transportation, happens we provide more value to the concept of time and distance, two things that we've taken for lost gradulamente of our rhythms of thinking though communication and mass transportation (which has other implications we will discuss in a little while). This growing awareness of the value of time and distance brings the opportunity to get yourself to know your own thoughts and the influence of intuition in which natural beings depend on to live in harmony with the external and internal. It was this harmony that many are losing little by little through the rush under which we live in our urban lives. This rush to fill us with other concerns that are truly rooted in the separation concección of our natural being. How much we hear that one would like to have a little longer to traquilizarse, to think, to leave his chaotic life or even for entertainment? What we have formed with this analysis can be used as advice to offer him that is in such a desperate situation.
On the issue of recognition of the value of time and distance to another consideration that we can advise our surrounding environments. This would be the approach to life in general that one should feel despite its autotransportación discipline. When one uses its own "feet" to autolocomoción it starts to find its own rhythm that occurs naturally with the heartbeat, breathing and even thoughts. When it happens, he begins to discover a harmony in his being that it was up and obscured by urban demonstrations against natural armoníia weigh.
This harmony will be found by other stimuli that are physically outside ourselves but to complement our internal being and that through recognition of our connection and work to improve both. Are the details, or rather, the features of our existence that one takes note when it begins to approach the harmony found through autotransportación. Mean things like debris, scratches, pollution of air, water, noise and all manner of pollution that affects us. However, the most important to note that the above would be manifested through the way we live and the poor understanding of our impact on the environment we inhabit and the damage we do to ourselves. As an example, when we walk through a space that we consider "natural", we see the shot a piece of trash or a line. Note because obviously it does not come from such conditions that a natural compound. We consciously affect noticing this crap for the obvious juxtaposition of factors and inspires us do what we can to fix the situation. Damage certainly gives us a feeling of being able to protect what we enjoy so much. When one motor carrier often start to feel the presence of all the pollution we live in our urban life. Whether consciously or not, we hurt. The truth is that they are not taking note or provide value to their environment than do much damage. Are themselves to throw their garbage and scratches, which depend on the same modes of transportation that afflict others who live outside, most of harmony among themselves.
But back again to practicality. There are some techniques you can implement in this discipline that we used in our camp exits. One of the most important is food. When we autotransportación, the energy we use and the extra time spent walking anticipate that we need good nutrition to stay healthy and good spirit. By then, you should plan your day, organizing tasks and activities, divined into consideration of all factors pertaining to your departure date and prepare adequate food. In this way, one will better reflect what they eat with respect to quantity and quality of nutrients taken. When preparing food, one must learn the needs of their own bodies and medical recommendations for a complete diet. Here is a method to know your body and take care with the care they often do not pay.
Following the same thread of reasoning, I offer some other benefits to the practice of feeding through the discipline of motor transport. One would be the minimization of costs. When that happens we're responsible for our own food and the fact that this will be our shipment, I will buy those meals needed and nothing more. In this way we can choose the quantity and quality of food intake and do not rely on restaurants and vendors who naturally include production costs and do not consider the personal needs of each. In addition, we eat what we like most, we will always have something available to eat when hungry without waiting in line to be served and, even more when we have food in hand, are more willing to share what we have with them than to us and not divide the exclusivity that implement restaurants with table system and privacy.
In my daily life I use everything I have shared, and much more. This discipline has sucecedido be natural, easy thing to do, and something that helped me procure a peace, confidence, efficiency, and many other factors that support keeping my life in harmony with my environment, both external and internal. I have found a balance in many things including mostly my health, the rhythms and patterns of my body and mind. All this practice actually comes from a simplistic mindset, global awareness and a worldview that helps me live well without force player appearances. Honestly, after living so long, I can not see myself living in another way. Eye, skill, or practice in a way of life has usually happens only by much practice as possible. When one has begun to implement such techniques in their life, will make many mistakes. That is human, but life teaches us, she shows us everything we need in time. We must learn from our failures and mistakes because in this way we continue to march forward towards the goals, objectives, expectations we want to do.

How To Make A Stabilizer For A Recurve Bow

Cycling is ... (John Forester)

Efficient Cycling by John Forester, p. 25 (introduction)

Cycling is ...

Once you can ride a bike comfortably and efficiently without worrying about traffic, operating a machine you trust, you're ready to experience all the joys of cycling: the pleasure spot the next curve, smell the flowers lining the road and hear the birds sing, to feel with nature. Cycling is the skill and the thrill of following a steep descent, winding between towering redwoods, along a sparkling stream. Cycling is seen orchards fruit and dairy farming communities, cabins by the roadside, reed-lined dams and village squares. Cycling is surprised to see gardens and planters under the windows of neighboring houses that had not spotted before. Cycling is reaching the top of a mountain pass and swept great distances by sight, knowing that I expect many miles of easy descent before reaching the plains. Cycling is a warm tent or hotel across the world, and the glorious dawn of a new day and new miles to go. Cycling is shopping without the hassle of having to find parking or waiting for the bus. Cycling is the freedom to do without a car or find someone you can keep in your car to your destination. Cycling is also hard work to move forward in a storm of wind and rain that throws water on your face and it forces you to hold the handle with such force that the fingers start to hurt. But in addition, cycling is the camaraderie of the road, the joy of traveling together through the spring of the world, and the constancy of comrades coming home as the sun descends to hide. Finally, cycling is telling travel stories and adventures, successes and disasters in distant places and different people, with club comrades gathered around tables laden with enough food to feed the hungry.

The great phrases provided by readers (collectively building alive!)

FLY
Cycling is the closest I know to the flight of birds. The airplane simply charge the man on his back like a submissive Pegasus does not give its own wings. - Louis J. Helle, Jr., "Spring in Washington." CUESTA


Bicycling wind is never in your favor, or is against you or is that you're having fun. - Daniel Behrman, The Man Who Loved Bicycles. The Memoirs of an Autophobe. "
Cycling is unique. No other sport allows you to move so if you have nothing the bike to hold you. If running on foot so hard, you will drop, your legs do not endure. - Steve Johnson.

BUT NO MORE THAN A WALK
people like to travel: that is why the grass is greener on the other side of the fence. We are walkers: our natural environment for travel is to put one foot before the other. The bike seduces our basic nature by making walking exciting. We made strides to 3 meters and 160 steps per minute. That's 30 miles per hour instead of 6 or 8 ... It is not just how fast to go one, the cars are faster and faster jets yet. Cycling has it all: you have the satisfaction get full because your mind has chosen the path and I have driven it, your eyes have seen, your muscles have felt, your respiratory, circulatory and digestive systems have fulfilled their natural functions better than ever, and every part of your be known to have traveled and have arrived. - John Forester, Cycling does it all, in "Effective Cycling."

"The attractiveness of the bicycle is transported, be yourself, devouring distances, amaze the chronograph, and cry at the end of the race: I have brought my strength." - Horacio Quiroga, cited by Emir Rodríguez, "The exile."

"Life is like a bicycle than ten velocidades." There are some that most never use "·-Cartoonist Charles M. Schulz, American comic strip creator of the Peanut, Charlie Brown, Snoopy and his family .-

AUTO IS THE BIKE, SO THE TV TO BOOK

By Otto Lührs

The bike and the book are older than the car and the tv

The bike and the book have been devoured its cultural spaces for the car and the tv

The bike and the book will transport you, entertain or educate demandándote some effort, which stimulates the senses and enrich your body, mind and spirit .
The car and transport the TV, entertain or educate easily, without effort, what senses atrophy and impoverishes the body, mind and spirit.

The bike and the book are symbols of styles healthy living and culturally superior
The car and tv are icons of modern consumerism and decadent

The bike and the book are cheaper and affordable to buy and repair the car and the tv

Man moves less, more fattening, since the car massifies
The man thinks less is more dumbed since become popular tv

In short, the bike and the book rebalance the relationship man - technology, restoring the role of master to man resource and service to our inventions.
Meanwhile, the car and the tv enslave, create a dependency / addictions on the user.

advocate not get the car or the TV in our lives, clearly delivered as a service that can sometimes be irreplaceable.
With this analogy only ask a rational, and that is infinitely less than what they currently have.
