"I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape - the loneliness of it, the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it, the whole story doesn't show." -Andrew Wyeth- Winter makes us discover the beauty of cold colors, and look to our landscapes in a different way. It takes us to a land of silence and quietness, of frozen nature.

"I feel the ocean swaying me ... washing away all my pains. See where I was wounded, Remember the scar ? Now you can´t see a thing ... And I feel no pain Singing about the Valley of Sunsets Green and blue ... Canyons too Singing about Atlantis love songs. The Valleys of Neptune is arising. Mercury liquid ... Emerald´s shining Telling me where I came from Honey Sun ... Pourquise Bed he lays in ... on the Burning edge Horizon. I´m sailing on the Bluebird´s mission ... Bubble and curls and tiptoes in the foam See the wind make love to all the ocean ... Joy spread and the massage got home Singing about the Valley of Sunsets ... Purple and gold ... the Armies of the Lord Before ancient Egypt, there were moon trips ... The Valleys of Neptune is arising Look out East coast, but you´re gonna have a neighbor, A rebirth land ... the praying Burning Sands. We know there were worlds so much older ... And they shall rise, and tell us much more the truth of man -- I see visions of sleeping peaks erupting ... releasing all hell that will shake the Earth from end to end -- And this ain´t bad news, good news, or any news ... it´s just the truth, Better save your souls while you can Singing about the New Valleys of the Sunrise ... Rainbow clean, the world is gonna be ... Singing about getting ready for the new tide ... The Valleys of Neptune is arising" -lyrics of the original song- You can find this song "Valleys of Neptune" in the last compilation by Jimi Hendrix also called "Valleys of Neptune". Hendrix had been one of the most influential musician of the 20th century, but he sadly died in 1970. Sometimes I asked myself how had been his music career if he was alive, who knows? But nobody can take us the pleasure of listening to his music. I remember the first time that I heard his music. I was very young and was in a pub and I was talking about the great guitar player that Slash was. The barman said me "hear this"... And it was awesome.... Hendrix, a unique experience. Enjoy it!

This Sunday I went to see Avatar, one of the best movies that I've seen in all my life. I must say that my will was to go on Saturday but it was impossible because all tickets were sold out. I went to a 3D cinema in my town. When you enter, they give you some glasses of stereoscopic vision, and the experience was fascinating. But avatar is not only a movie (spectacular in a aesthetic sense), but also a brilliant production with a good plot and well developed characters. If I had to emphasize something it would be its message and the plot. Avatar movie Wallpaper by ~JackieTran Avatar is about life and its value over all things, about the respect for everything that is alive, because of the only reason of being alive. And in a world like this where making money fast is valued over all things, even if it means the destruction of animal species, the destruction of the planet for sordid and pointless luxuries, it's important to remember some things. Where is the human being going to? Many times, to destroy everything that he touches. Sometimes the movie reminds us of what really has a sense, what is happiness and how to get it, and how simple can everything be, if we don't make it complicated. And that is the message of the movie, a film that is magnificently made, with care, quite knowledge, and without sparing no dollars. The argument is the following: Jake Sully is a soldier that is paraplegic. His twin brother has died and he is invited to join the Avatar mission. So he is taken to Pandora, an awesome planet, as you may imagine planet Earth when was inhabited by the dinosaurs: big jungles, giant animals, exuberant nature. Human beings are interested in something that Pandora has, the unobtainium, a very valuable mineral. The Na'Vi are the inhabitants of Pandora, an humanoid race that live in harmony with nature and their planet. Humans want the mineral amongst all things and  try to negotiate with the Na'Vi, but with no results because they seem not to have something to offer to the Na'Vi that they may wish. Avatar wallpaper flight lesson by ~JackieTran Some scientists have discovered a way to connect the human mind to some kind of artificial bodies that were created through genetics. Jake is welcomed by the Na'Vi and they try to teach him their way of living and make him understand what ties them to their world and what really matters. This changes forever the way in which Jake Sully sees life. I recommend you to watch this wonderful movie, and I wish that this movie could open the eyes of many people, and make them come back from the cinema with a deep respect to everything around them. This is an utopia, but I'm sure that the director tried. Go to see Avatar, one of the best movies of the history of cinema.68WE8HFG5264

After all the Christmas expenses and all the economical excess, it's time to save money. Although there's a lot of expenses that must be made in every moment. One of them is printing business cards, flyers, catalogs, brochures, and so on. That's why it's important to get advantage of the enormous benefits offered by discount printing services. By printing on demand and adjusting to your needs, they can give you what you need for a very small budget. But without sacrificing quality, and professionality, many times better than what you can find in local print shops. That's why thousands of people every day choose the discount online printing services offered by business of great quality and prestige. Because something is saving money and the other, very different, is to lose quality in those very needed printed materials. Because printed materials are the face of your business, even of yourself, of your professionalism and what you can offer to the others. Also, even if you are an student, you sometimes may need to print some things in high quality. The way in which you show your academic works can influence very much how your teachers will mark them. A badly presented work can look like a bad work. So it's important to find a business that is economical, secure and of quality to make your prints.

First of all: Happy new year 2010! Well, I must say that I'm back and also tell you some news. My portfolio is online,  as some of you may already have noticed some days ago. It is located at www.emmaalvarez.com as I told you. Yesterday I added the feed, so everyone that wants to stay up to date with what's new and the new illustrations as they appear, you know, you can subscribe by RSS or by e-mail. The change was an odyssey, and I must thank my husband that helped me in everything. Jordi (my husband) as some of you may already know, is programmer. The change of address may have supposed to lose all the links, the connections, traffic... this is everything that I had achieved in years of work. So everything needed to be redirected, using some javascript code. This way all the blog has been redirected, and also the RSS feeds changed. In addition I also changed the navigation bar to a new one, and also some graphics. The redirection has been a real success, and faster than we though. But there was also another mess that was to unify the partitions of the hard drive of my computer that was split in two. Before doing this, Jordi and me did a test and the application said that there would be no problems, because the main partition was the one that I was using, and that it was safe. But as you know, no one knows what will happen with these things... and it happened!!! After 4 hours, and after the program said that all was OK, it said "error number blahblah" and ALL ERASED!!! The partitions, Windows, all the information, all got smashed!!! It was 2 in the morning and I nearly had a heart attack! Jordi told me not to worry because I had saved everything and it was just a matter of re-install everything again. But there was another problem: months ago the DVD unit broke. It was not a problem before, because I used the local network to pass files to Jordi's PC to save them. We tried to use a USB key but the process was slow and full of problems. So no worries, tomorrow I will go and buy a new one, I thought. But to my surprise, when we started to call to PC shops, we discovered that the model that my computer uses is no longer available!!! I can't believe this, as my PC is not old! So another solution was to buy an external one... "This is Christmas and all are sold out", they said me!!! I can swear I was going crazy, when a DVD recorder appeared but they said "you must come in 1 hour because we're going to close". Traffic was collapsed, but after a while we arrived there and took the damn reader, and started to install and install... The fact was that I was a bundle of nerves, so Jordi helped me in everything. I cannot live without my computer... I get stoned, it's horrible!!! LOL!!! And all that with Christmas Eve in the middle, having to cook and everything, but before Christmas Eve I had my computer as it was, with more hard drive, my web sites changed, and everything all right... Jordi used some SEO tricks to make Google index everything very quickly. When all was finished I could breathe, and said him "thanks Jordi, how can I thank you for all this" and he said me "can you make me a new template?". Well, ok, I can't complain, LOL! For those who want to see how Jordi's new template looks, you can see it here. And tell to those of you who like 3D design, VR chats, Second Life, etc. Hiperia3D News is one of the most useful pages that you can find. Something incredible also happened: Google changed their PageRank on day 1st so as all was indexed perfectly I stay the same as I was :) :) :) how lucky, I can't believe it, so this is how the story ended...
