Domingues ... by the Museum of the UPR
Last Sunday I had the opportunity to get to the Museum of the UPR and become a Francisco Oller and Jose Campeche for a few hours. The Museum every Sunday is open so that not only can appreciate art, but take a few hours of it, creating your own work in a relaxed and calm in which you can share with your family some leisure time out of routine.
The creative adventure began with a brief explanation of what we had to do in this case, the adventure was called "Tree Campus." It was to visit the square Eugenio Maria de Hostos adjacent to the museum and pick a tree that would be the reason for our artwork, then we would use oil crayons on a surface that would prepare ourselves collage.
The action started when we begin to take pieces of construction paper and white paper to glue the pieces start over each other, starting with large pieces and then with the children. This was a fun activity for kids and not so young too.
Then to complement our journey through art, we had the opportunity to see an animated short, some 15 minutes, called "Wise Trees, Tree Magic" (1986). It was written by Ines Mendoza, Irene Delano animation and music by Jack Delano. The film though short, greatly impacts as it brings a very current problem with excessive pruning of trees and its negative impact on the environment.
Now to the square Eugenio Maria de Hostos to implement our skills as artists and begin to paint the tree previously selected on the role that we prepare with the collage. This was the most exciting afternoon as we started to see how our tree and took shape with the background collage figures emerged, contrasting colors and shadows that never we were thinking.
By late afternoon it was a small exhibition of the work and the teachers and Marilyn Agnes Torrech, excellent in others, began to study the drawings and share their views on the results of our artistic proposals.
Best of all this is that the workshops are offered every Sunday from 1:00 to 4:00 pm at the Museum of the UPR and are free of cost. It is a tremendous opportunity for families to share some entertainment with art and nature.
Here are the upcoming workshops for the month of October:
family workshop Sunday 12: Self-Portrait. We draw our profile with the help of light and shadow projected on a wall. The colors you choose to paint the figure and background plus the inclusion of biographical details, add interest to a very special portrait, which can be framed. Professor Olga Charneco.
family workshop Sunday 19: A stained glass paper. It explores the art of symmetrical design in creating a "stained glass" paper. Participants create a design with simple shapes on construction paper. After folding the paper and cut it, reveals a symmetrical design, which is decorated with colored paper. The window sticks to a rigid frame painted previously. Professor Olga Charneco.
family workshop Sunday 26: Inking relief. Participants build a white image in relief using cut and paste. After a tour of the Museum's exhibits, is inked with a roller surface worked in relief before. The picture becomes contrasts, changes in graphic design very original.

So, traditional machines and locomotives converted its motive power from steam to coal and diesel, said its grandeur by the Lajas Valley. But could never prove the speed of one machine with high capacity that existed, because the road system in Puerto Rico were inadequate to develop its power. In Puerto Rico there are valuable historical monuments are preserved, but the train stations are not part of that program. Many have disappeared and others are on the verge of disappearing due to the deterioration that is in charge of burying the memories and history the famous method of transportation.

Dream Mat Mousse Swatches
C nyone lost track of how many parks there are in the country named in honor of the name of the Puerto Rican Olympic colossus, just way that destroys the notion of space and time in this estate Bayamon.
And to exceed the ugly pipe and petrochemical industries are dumb to the zum-zum of trucks that come and go as fast pachyderms. A vacant property above the green. To your left a fruit distribution company gives you welcome and your right hand a prison reminds you accidentally tried: better behave yourself.
P ero already here and the sound of birds, the canopy of mahogany trees and seedlings, along with the smell of almond blossom prepare you for the escape. You will see the track horses, kept jealously by angry farmers, and if you're lucky you can enjoy the beauty of a copy that crosses the obstacles without problems. Are very white and jockets riders who command these horses, you think while you adjust your mountain bike. They make one step Mount. Here is the Walt Disney World's mountain biking. Get inside any trail: The adventure is in any turn. Did you decide on the way La Ceiba? Watch out for sudden drops in which Arduengo has left the skin. Or would you prefer the playful stretch Magic Kingdom? Caution. Face down the writer has been to much fun. Look closely at the left magazines, filled with roots, mongooses, snakes, insects and God knows what else. Yes, this was part of Fort Buchanan archaic, which both patriots cry wanabi the Stars and Stripes. It matters little now that stuff. Nature hugged you. Gone was the city with its hustle and bustle impudent. Go up the steep slopes. Dodge the roots everywhere and makes you feel like a child playing browsers. You will need good brakes to avoid stepping on boas slumbering on the rocks looking for a ray of sunlight does not penetrate the thicket. And your life will be strengthened legs and lungs to climb on belvedere tower. Look out to see the Bay of San Juan and the immensity of this little piece of paradise.

Many wheels and pedals
By Yaritza Rivas / yrivas@elnuevodia.com Florida
- Over 300 cyclists gathered yesterday on the sixth Classic Mountain Bike Florida, which took place in the grounds of the park Rafael "Fello" Marrero.
There were competed in 21 categories as part of the activity that regulates the official calendar of the Commission's Cross Country Mountain Bike (MTB) of Puerto Rico.
"There is a category for everyone. They are divided by age and technique, "said the director of the MTB Commission of Puerto Rico, Pedro Lugo, while cyclists of different ages crossed the booth to record the time and turns given by each athlete.
"The difference between categories are those laps," said Lugo, who said the family approach that had the activity. The route was extended for six miles.
divisions for children, beginners, intermediate, advanced, elite national ICU and Clydesdale, who are 50 pounds or more over their ideal weight are some of the skill levels of this classic, the fifth to be held during the season Mountain Biking 2008.

Tinglar Festival Celebrates Designation of the Northeast Ecological Corridor as a Nature Reserve
San Juan - The Coalition for Northeast Ecological Corridor received with joy the news of the passing of the Resolution of the Planning Board officially designated the Northeast Ecological Corridor as a Nature Reserve by Governor Aníbal Acevedo Vilá.
Corridor designation as a Nature Reserve by the Planning Board is the first task of ordering the Executive Order signed by the Governor in October last year, setting the public policy of preserving this natural area.
"We are pleased to note that administrative agencies are complying with the guidelines of Executive Order passed last year. In the coming months, we hope to evaluate the Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Management for the Corridor, which will outline the steps for conservation management and ecotourism development of this unique nature reserve, "said Camilla Feibelman, coordinator of the Sierra Club, one of the organizations belonging to the Coalition.
Coalition held the designation as part of the Third Festival of the shed this Saturday, April 26th from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm in the Plaza de Luquillo. This activity will take place a stop composed of children, entitled Delight in the corridor!, and which will welcome you in a symbolic way to leatherbacks as part of the start of the nesting season of these sea turtles in danger of extinction to the beaches of the Corridor. The Festival will also feature the music of Son de Almond, Gomba Jahbari and Tito Auger with Eric Landrón, among others. There will be booths and educational activities, natural food and crafts.
CEN designation as a nature reserve has received the endorsement of federal and state agencies, professional bodies and business, international conservation organizations, and community groups, including much of the religious leadership of the island and representatives of the Puerto Rican community in the United States. Celebrities including actor Benicio del Toro, attorney Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Mr. Alexis Massol, who is the first Puerto Rican winner of the Goldman Environmental Prize, equivalent to the Nobel Prize for the Environment, have also publicly declared its support for this initiative. In an unusual move, the designation has also been favored by the vast majority of legislators from all three political parties.

Wainscoting For Bathroom
By Marcos Pérez Ramírez
E stacion and dismount the bike. Leave it to your side and stop to admire the brave and unfathomable Tues Feel the breeze. Breathe deeply. The salt feed your body. You're looking at a piece of paradise, the utopia that God's splendid irony fragmented around the world, perhaps as proof of our weakness, perhaps a reminder that the majesty of nature.
You are in Cerro Gordo. Join your bike and climbs into the lap of the forest Breñas. Passes in front of the line of progress cement masked by the walk-ups and thanks for the developmental fervor has not put paid to such beauty. The climb is a bit hard, but once you reach the trail you will notice that much time left before esfumarte in the bush. Start the tour: the palm trees hug you, the seedlings are stripped to show the metamorphosis of their trunks, the almond reign on high and grapes shirts hold the ground, soft as a Persian carpet. Watch out for roots, coconuts and fronds rendered reckless: those responsible for this road is always new. If Heraclitus had made this ride a mountain bike, metaphorized might not have a river. Let your nose to perceive the aromas. Smells like vanilla mixed with ginger, salt, wet sheet.
Throw yourself down the slopes
risky for the sea to leave your dew on your skin. Now appreciate the waves, right now his anger disappears. You return to the green and the Atlantic will be a rumor. You think you go without an end, but then the hermit crab and the dove sabanera give you scope. Everything is displayed slowly. Leave your hurry to die.
