Furniture With Cherry Floors

We the environment!

why we here in Europe the compulsory blending of petrol and diesel. Regulated in Germany by the Biofuels Quota Act are currently gasoline up to 1.2% bioethanol and diesel up to 4.4% Biodiesel added.

Angela Merkel's visit to Brazil (before last) last week served, among other things, with the local government Nachhaligkeitsabkommen for the cultivation of sugar cane used for ethanol production, to launch them. Say, for export to Europe would be bioethanol not cut down rain forest.

Nothing easier than that: the demand for ethanol increases, so will need more farmland. It can therefore certify that only sugar cane was used by existing land for production. For Brazil's own use or for exports to China or the United States, we simply Holzt new Surface. But that goes from the certificate for the "German" Bioethanol not clear.

occurs Fittingly, just back to that time, the Brazilian Environment Minister Marina Silva, because they are not the aggressive economic policies of Lula wants to support longer, the increased pressure on the rainforest.

fair, Lula speaks openly the fact that they are ready to protect the forest if we (we as Europeans) are willing to engage with the cost. That will not happen just by drinking beer, but when it comes to payments, listen to the fun is well known. So we will have waited a long time that we save the environment by fill biofuel.

as soy

rise for years, world prices for soy, as a feed for our dairy cows. We recall the Landliebe scandal. Rising prices are known to be triggered by rising demand, soybean cultivation is becoming more attractive and more areas are needed. The case for example in Argentina, where more and more soybeans are grown. (GM soya as profitable and easy maintenance. Roundup Ready , pesticide-resistant, the suitable pesticide is sold together with the destruction of all other weeds on the field the same. Tricky!) Is almost universally cultivated only soybeans, but demand for soybeans continues to rise because now the biodiesel to do so. Can be made from soy. Since there are no free areas more, it is now the rain forest are cut down to make room. But certainly the soy for biodiesel, no, he does not come from these fields. There, the soy in the soy oil exports to India and China is prepared. The soy for biodiesel is carbon neutral!

Sound Blaster Audigy Se Connect To Tower

immigrants, ...

I wanted to tell the whole week of our immigration on Pentecost Sunday, but somehow I have not had the leisure to tell me to sit at the computer and write a report. Let's see what comes out today here:

Whit Saturday, long weekends and Beautiful weather. We had been times during the week more or less for fun chatting about whether we could not even take a trip in the mountains, to immigrate. Not too long and in any case a lot of altitude in order not to overdo it - I thought, anyway.
The smell which is more or less the Grünten, in my hiking guides were two nice trips described on flickr and I stumbled for more than a few pictures from the tour, recorded in March. In May, the already loosely be walked on, then, clearly is not as high, and a few snow fields are not even bother.
I wondered a bit first, if I send a text message really Thed should or should not, because I was not sure if I really felt like I summon up the next morning to pack your things and go hiking all the way in Allgäu. I could still clearly remember the morning of the Widderstein Tour last year, but then I just pressed 'send'. He, and it is summer, the days are long and would have at the hip with 5.5h hour tour is rich, start moving by 10 clock.

A little later ... the phone rings ... and that comes out of it:



are technically only the weather was the most beautiful moments, for we have become about three times drenched by the rain. Could we so guess not that it is everywhere pleasant except in the Allgäu:) But first things first ...
We meet at the gym (not gym) in Castle Hill where the road is long for a small piece of the road to equal hochschlängelt the mountain. Well maintained gravel, so really right to immigrate. After a few switchbacks, we have already gained some extent a diversion to the castle hill Hörnle, with the words "only for experienced hikers. I can only recall that was in the night before, read the Tour trip description mentions the castle Berger Hörnle by pointing out that a short piece would be a bit exposed. Would be the way to follow, so we are the warning signs. The road immediately to the path and trees, roots and stones, he winds steeply up the mountain. Many Höhnemeter in a very short time ... hey, this was thought to migrate, right? Sometimes the hands are used and we do one or the other short, short breather to not just completely fixed and ready to come up. The view is wonderful and reached the top of the summit, we make the first catch and are very good in time! Have an hour, used instead of 1.5 as specified in the tour description.

Shortly after the summit a little surprise: a fixed-rope-like, some exposed sections, but hardly comparable to the Caminito del Rey ;-) While the rest I had read the trip description again and it came out that we had taken the wrong turn. Correctly only 10-minute detour from the main road would have been that we would have two times out of this passage. After a brief moment of shock we were climbing in the attack and overcame it easily ;-) In truth, the sight of a little rocky passage was simply extraordinary, after the long winter break ...

It is covered and to Grüntenstraße house, we walk through a rain shower. In good time before the summit of the mountain station Grünten or the BR train comes back out but the sun. We want to run up to the monument to the fighters in order to the next well-deserved break . Make On the Way to a critical field of snow is situated on the slope, because we decide that later on the other side of the Grünten back to the valley to descend. Arriving at the Hunter Memorial it starts to rain just as we unwrap our sandwiches. Great. So running again, now it's just a down.



seems not 10 minutes later, the sun just as we slip on another snowfield. It's fun and goes without skis! Now comes the worst passage, across the steep southern flank and slipped the Grünten. This was probably even a way, now is just mud! Fortunately, it begins back to rain as we have this critical passage behind us. The better the beer tastes the stable of the Alpe, in which we forgave us because of what has become thundery rain. Continues through the rain that is more and more after we had left the house to rise by more. Heavy rain, hail, lightning and thunder! So I have my tour presented to immigrants!

At the end of another M McD, so now you take it from , so even the large fries to a salad afterwards because of the bad conscience and a coffee. Pancita Llena, Corazon Contento!

How Do They Tell Where The Ball Landed In Tennis?

The hiking season is open!

What I wanted to report, before I got the idea to update the layout (yes I know, you could even make the old layout again, but I just wanted to back a little gripe about bloggers: P) was the "idea" of Thede, the Caminito del Rey times to move away. For motivation, he sent me the following video:



Thed then said something like if I would find out where that is, he would come along. What was then read in Wikipedia, you have to fly to Malaga, to mark the Caminito del Rey .

Perhaps we simply wait until the path is restored. Were allegedly this means already provided. However, something can be long according Marce long, longer than in Argentina, which need down there in Andalucia ;-)

order to hike in the meantime but not too boring, I'm after some research on the Internet pictures and videos of a very interesting "hiking" trail in China found: On mountain Huashan, one of the five sacred mountains of China.



When is off you? ;-)

The following part is not quite as spectacular, but nevertheless a very interesting routing ...

What Stor Sells Fake Braces

Update: Never never never (that I know yet: o)

I knew that I had never put on the "Upgrade your template" to click button: o

Now is probably it for now a dispute with the Blogger layout customization due.



That may I been so at work - layout changes. And all much too narrow .... ahhhhh!
