The Reins of Free Will
November 13, 2011
The power of conscious choice
is your profit earning capital.
Pay attention!
Watch over that moment of power!
The human being rides on the steed of
We have honored the children of Adam.
The reins of free will are in the hands of
intelligence.

Florencio Cruz – Hope
November 6, 2011
When Adolphe Sax created the first saxophone, he designed a conical shape coupled with a single-reed woodwind mouthpiece; it was because of the mouthpiece that the saxophone was classified as a woodwind instrument. Sax used brass for the body because it was easier to fashion the conical shape from metal than from wood. The designer of several instruments, Sax worked to promote them, as well. In the case of the saxophone, he prompted a contest between a traditional French military band and a band that used his saxophone. The group with the saxophone won and the new instrument was adopted into the military band. Adolphe Sax was born on this date, Nov. 6, 1814. (via Answers.com)

Claude Lelouch – C’était un Rendez-vous
November 4, 2011
C’était un Rendezvous (It was a date) is a short film made in 1976 by Claude Lelouch, showing one of the most thrilling high speed drives ever filmed!
The film shows an eight-minute drive through Paris in the early hours of the morning (05:30hrs), accompanied by sounds of a high-reving engine, gear changes and squealing tires… Pedestrians are passed, pigeons sitting on the streets are scattered, red lights are ignored, one-way streets are driven up the wrong way, center lines are crossed, the car drives on the sidewalk to avoid a rubbish truck. The car is never seen as the camera seems to be attached below the front bumper (judging from the relative positions of other cars, the visible headlight beam and the final shot when the car is parked in front of a curb on Montmartre, with the famous Sacré Cœur Basilica behind, and out of shot). Here, the driver gets out and embraces a young blonde woman as bells ring in the background, with the famous backdrop of Paris.
