Eugene Grandet en mi Londres

En ciertos trayectos de Londres hay edificios que, al contemplarlos, inspiran una melancolía igual a la que producen los claustros más sombríos, los desiertos más áridos o las más tristes ruinas. Acaso sea porque en estos templos se encuentran a la vez el silencio de los claustros, la infecundidad de los desiertos y la desnudez de las ruinas.


Sin embargo unos pocos se han convertido en verdaderos caparazones y la melancolía es solo la costra a un hervidero de nueva vida. Escondites posmodernos, que atrás de sus tristes fachadas guardan centros culturales y te salvan de la lluvia.


Me di cuenta de esto caminando en el paseo de la ribera sur del Támesis, cuando a causa de una tormenta veraniega Irma y yo nos tuvimos que refugiar bajo uno de los viejos puentes que llevan a la antigua central eléctrica. Ahí prendimos un cigarro y en la defunción de la guarida encontramos un letrero de luces navideñas y neón que brillaba TATE. Bankside está lleno de lugares así, que parecen muertos pero es puro engaño.

Un poco más arriba, atrás de St Paul's hay un paseo de parques secretos que te llevan a Barbican, otro de esos lugares en cuestión, un complejo setentero, con jardines colgantes y cascadas donde por alguna razón siempre te sientes solo. En verano trate de ir cuantas veces pude a echarme un cigarrito y a visitar The House of Viktor & Rolf, donde las muñecas gigantes solo acrecentaban el sentimiento.


Hace unos días, el 28 de septiembre en la London fashion week tuvieron una fiesta por la nueva colección de Melissa (la compañía fenómeno de zapatos de plástico) y Zaha Hadid (la prominente arquitecta angloiraquí y héroe personal). Una de esas colaboraciones que funcionan de verdad, los zapatos terminaron pareciéndose al Zaha Hadid’s Performing Arts Centre en Abu Dhabi, con su estructura naturalista inspirada en ramas, tallos, frutas, y hojas que son transformados en diagramas abstractos de diseño arquitectónico y que me recuerdan al trabajo de Prada para la primavera del 2008, especialmente al video Trembled Blossoms de James Lima cuando unos insectos se convierten en zapatos.



La fiesta fue de esas que gustan, Jefferson Hack hizo de Dj, en esos edificios de Londres que me traen melancolía, la Wapping Hydraulic Power Station, con su fachada fantasmagórica y su interior renovado.


Londres y sus escondites se me aparecen antagónicos a los grandes bulevares de Paris, a las Tullerías y sus grandes paseos de grava blanca, donde Jefferson Hack caminaba con su abrigo ruso y Arantxa arrastraba sus ‘night’ melissas.

Now here's a shoe-in for the list of the year's best gaming-related clothing : Adidas has brought back its ZX 5 hundred running shoe, and, since it originally is from the '80s, the gaming inspired design and coloring is an easy choice ... Right? The kicks won't be the coolest part of the deal, either ; they come packed with a combination bracelet/USB flashdrive containing ZX Runner, a computer game primarily based on ... The shoe itself.

GameCulture writes the game stars a character named'DJ Zed' who, according to Adidas, has 5 minutes to'run, moon-walk, climb walls, avoid some dodgy-looking bullies, collect power-ups, and pull off loony rooftop-to-rooftop stunts' in order to get on-stage before his set starts. It looks suitably retro -- see for yourself in the video we've included after the breakdance.

Всем привет!

Недавно перед мной встала задача, куда деть накопишиеся [b]европоддоны[/b], или еще их называют [b]Паллеты[/b],
[b]Поддоны[/b], [b]Европаллет[/b]ы Размеры 800*1200, 1000*1200- Это [u]Тара Пром назначения[/u].
Немного предистории.
Сам я тружусь кладовщиком на складе. Нам приходит много продукции на [b]Европоддонах[/b],
товар продаем а поддоны остаются, у нас встал вопрос куда их девать.
Раньше мы их сжигали.
Потом я узнал, что за поддоны можно получить деньги.
Начал звонить по фирмам везде были цены дешевые,
потом друзья мне подсказали, что в Челябинске есть такая Контора "[b]Уралсклад[/b]",
около 10 лет на Рынке Промышленной Тары с прекрасной репутацией.
Я нашел их сайт в интернет - [url=http://www.uralsklad.ru]www.uralsklad.ru[/url] и позвонил по тел. +7(351) 233-07-14.
Буквально через час подъехал их представитель, Авто с Логотипом "[url=http://www.uralsklad.ru]Поддоны Челябинск[/url]".
Цены закупочные оказались самые высокие в г. Челябинске.
Все цивилизовано грузчики загрузили [b]Паллеты[/b] ешё и лом поддонов купили, расчитались на месте наличными.
Про другие фирмы я узнавал либо Цены низкие, либо Бракуют много, да и денег от них не дождешься.

Так что если у вас завалялись [b]европоддоны[/b], не торопитесь их выбрасывать, лучше обменяйте их на деньги.
