Chandler Science Spectacular



When I read about the Tech Crawl, I took a while to understand that it involved hopping around the city. Boy what fun it is. We started with Air Products. Now we know what those big white tanks store.  Their contents are used in frozen foods and par-baked oven goods.
A friend told about how liquid nitrogen is used for stopping warts.
Intel had a transcoder with 70 channels while it was able to do only 4 channels up until this product.

Bulgarian fairy Tales



I have never read a Belgian fairy tale before. The elements of the story are unexpected. The Golden Bird with powers enough to fight a witch's evil charms. I personally love the illustrations and thought it might be a little dark for children but out of curiosity when I opened Belgian fairy tales by William Elliot Griffis, that book too had some dark background.

This night I saw that the morning glory flowers were back to bud stage. Now I know why it is called Morning glory.


















This is the first time I saw real daffodils. Got them as buds last night at Safeway and here I am in clouds.

Beyond Buffalo Hunts




Paintings and photos that I have never seen before. I imagined English women with their umbrellas only on the covers of novels. This book Art of the American Frontier has an image of couple of English ladies watching the Old Faithful.
The writers of the various essays have provide not just the context of the paintings but also about the elements of a painting.
There is a compare and contrast too with the plates of paintings and pictures. Showing the transition of the extreme hunterer to the end of the trail.
The format of essays add meaning to the exquisite pictures and trace the history of the wild as well as its representation as a way for the East to know the West.
