Earth Hour: Turn off the lights



Earth Hour, it's an excellent initiative from the conservative organizations of the environment with The WWF (World Wildlife Fund) to conserve energy and fight climate change. Last saturday Canada, Usa, Australia and other countries turned out the lights for 60 minutes, we are talking about 50 million people around the world.


I think that everyone needs to take actions and to help to the earth, we are destroying the world with all kind of pollutant contaminants and we don't know the damage that this have in the world. The hole in the cap of ozone is bigger every day and it helps to defrost the poles, when the poles are defrosting the concentration of the sea changes and it can be a big disaster because can produce Tsunamis and others natural disasters.


Other problem is The global warming and this has repercussion on the sea, river, etc; the water is evaporating and each day we have less fresh water.


I think that everyone needs to put a little of conscience and try to help the world, because we live here and if we continue to destroy it our generation is not going to have more world.

My Best Investment

My best investment in my life was when I bought my boat, that was very excited, My first boat, in my family always has had boats and sailboats but this is mine. It is a Hatteras sportfishing 43' year 1985, it's a little old but after working on it during 8 months now looks like new.I have this boat for 5 years and I have crossed a lot of mile and fish many times. I have visited many island in my country like Los Roques, La Tortuga, La Orchila, Los Frailes, Testigos, Blanquilla, Coche and around 10 islands morel; also I have visited Aruba, Curazao, Trinidad and Tobago.
Venezuela has 860.000 Km2 of water extension in the caribbean ocean and I have sailed around 60% of this water extension. I can say that I am a obsessed with this hobbie, when I was in my country I went during 5 years almost all weekends to my boat, sometimes to work on it, or enjoy a good trip or a good fishing day.

Now I moved to Canada 6 months ago and its possible that I'm going to live here a few more years and I can't use my boat, in that way I'm selling it, if you are interested you can contact me and I can send to you more photos.

Classical Music



The classical music is the most relaxing type of music, I love to hear it, when I'm working, studying, etc. I think that Classical music can help you to concetrate better because is so pleasant. You can find a lot of types, genres and historical periods of classical music. It uses a lot type of instruments like violin, cello, woodwind instruments, brass instruments, percussion instruments, etc. Also you can find voice especially in operas. The Classical Music is divided in periods, this periods are: Medieval and Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, the modern and contemporary period which includes 20th century classical and contemporary classical. Between composers and writers exist Bingen, Vowelgeide, Monteverdi, Schutz, Vivaldi, Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Rameu, Rossini, Chopin, Puccini, Satie, Mozart and hundreds more. At the end of 19th century born Vanessa-Mae, She plays violin like Gods, in many of her songs Vanessa-Mae mixs classical music with trance and electronic music and that sounds great. She is considered in this moment The Best Violinst in the World with 40 international platinum awards. If You want to know about Vanessa-Mae. You can check her page at http://www.vanessa-mae.com/ and you can see many videos of her in http://www.youtube.com/ like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQPvzzZ23Mk&feature=related

Sport Fishing


Sport fishing is a term that describes recreational fishing where the primary reward is the challenge of finding and catching the fish rather than just the financial value of the fish's flesh. Sport fishers will also eat their catches. The philosophies and tactics used for sport fishing, however, are usually sufficiently different from "food fishing" to make the distinction clear enough. Sport fishing methods vary according to the area being fished, the species being targeted, the personal strategies of the angler, and the resources available, ranging from fly fishing, ostensibly invented in Great Britain, to the high-tech methods used to chase Marlin and tuna or the bottom bouncing methods that where perfected on the Fraser river of British Columbia, Canada for chinook and sockeye. In virtually every case, however, the fishing is done with hook, line, rod and reel rather than with nets or other aids.
