Deers!!!

 

From the top (almost)

Can you see the hospital and sarah s place more to the left of the latter?  

zindozs 8.1 and kubuntu 13.10 - compatible with

in case you do the opposite to recommanded procedure or install windows after linux (k,l)ubuntu...

i fixed grub after windows install wiped it off using the live mode in the dvd of kubuntu 13.10 x64 and following the procedure described here in a terminal:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair

it s good to know there are tools that can help get both operating systems to boot with grub :)

it was close! almost hit by a tree!

I think i ll consider having lost 1/2 of my remaining 7 out of 9 cat lives. 6.5 remaining as of today.
 

Imagine you are standing aside a river, on huge rocks, your back directed towards the river. Suddenly you hear this huge KRRRRAAAAAAKKKKK and you see a huge tree sliding towards you reall fast and stopping with another BOIINNNNGGGGG KRAK when it hits another tree that stops it, spraying lots of broken wood particles at you (wind blowing strong).

it s really scary.

it s what happened to me while playing with CCR along the wind Drac river today.

It would not have hit me but close, looking closer, it appears it is a 15 m long tree that was pushed by the violent floods. (semi visible part of the tree below, i was standing on the left picture side, behind the branches)



i feel lucky today.

Château d'Hélécine
Rue Armand Dewolf 2
1357 Hélécine

http://www.brabantwallon.be/fr/Tourisme-et-loisirs/domaines-provinciaux/domaine-provincial-dhelecine.html

Inside the dome of the castle... it s huge!

 
It is likely that some of the guests will want to sleep at the castle.
The accomodation in the castle: The rooms are with 2 (in one room only), 3 or 4 beds. (22 € per bed used/night). Common bathrooms and showers.
It is a bit old style but it will do confortably if you only intend to stay the night after the wedding.
There is currently no wifi in the site, but they have plans to get it working next year...

 

entre le Trou de Poussebou et la tourbière du peuil -Vercors 14-4-12

de 1050m a 1250m puis 900m d'altitude au départ du Trou de Poussebou, se trouve un sentier sous les crètes du vercors qui évolue dans un environnement très abrupt jusquà la tourbière du Peuil.

Vidéo des lieux + RC CCR au trou de poussebou sur un rocher difficile a parcourir....

Invitation à Aarhus, Danemark pour donner une présentation à "ESS Neutron Protein Crystallography meeting"

Une fois n'est pas coutume, Trevor m'a demandé d'être son émissaire et de le remplacer à Aarhus.
ça m'a donné l'occasion de présenter la stratégie de perdeuteration et deuteration de proteines pour la diffraction des neutrons.

PS: ne pas modifier les presentations pptx sur les programmes apple... ça détruit le format!
J'ai noté après ma présentation que finalement les images rigolotes insérées dans la présentation ont eu l'effet escompté : personne ne s'est endormi!  

nous avons eu l occasion de visiter Aarhus et surtout la grande cathédrale.

A l'intérieur de la cathédrale

Les fonds baptismaux

  

Les pierres sauvées des pieds des passants sont malgré tout assez érodées
