Fata Morgana in Limassol

I have read many times about Fata Morgana effects and the beautiful image illusions it creates.

However, on Friday 7 May 2010 around 12:00-13:00 in Limassol, I was pretty lucky to observe this amazing effect.

There was only 1 sea-cargo, near horizon which was optically affected. At the horizon level, there was a band of a slight darker colour compared to sea or sky. That cargo-ship was optically lifted un-inverted on top of the band. As the effect was fading away, there was a mirror-like image of the cargo-ship on the same level, departing from the ship itself towards left-side…

Few minutes later after observing the effect, when taking our lunch out to the company-terrace, fata morgana was already gone … It is as true as it’s said “Here She is, and here She’s not…”

Other two interesting related blog posts.

I suppose, in general terms experiencing Fata Morgana is as nice as experiencing Tramontane

Sweet Moldavian shot

Well, I have tried in the past Irish Flag and other layered shots like B52, etc.

However, I wanted something more to my MoldoRomanian soul-and-heart.

Few weeks this bothered my mind in the background… And finally yesterday, during drinks color-solubility-density-taste experiments with Igor, we have found the layering formula of some selected drinks. If you played with cocktails and shots on your own, you might have noticed that drinks’ color, density, solubility and taste-class restrictions are quite hard for a layered drink, especially when you have a strict pattern of color.

Today, I have tried to produce the first public version and it went pretty well I can say - the taste and the look are lovely!

Sweet Moldavian shot

Enjoy (responsibly)!

My dears,

I will be Out Of “Office” (to be read out of island, out of mind, out of reach and away from the beach, etc.) on Winter Holidays period!

My GPS reads 26C3 coordinates ahead, so find me there if you please.

Ahead apologies for any delayed responses - I will catch up with replies whenever I get the chance given I have at least the poorest internet connection.

If you have any MFCUK (MiFare Classic Universal toolKit) related questions, don’t hesitate to contact me - hopefully after 26C3, myself and other MiFare hackers will have more visibility over MFCUK.

Thanks and have wonderful/pleasant/safe Winter Holidays!

Andrei

Oda consumatorilor de credinta

Busu’-ntreg - moda-n evlavii
Turm’-a kitschurilor. Ca sclavii
Ne-nchinam toti laolalta,
Imprimam un semn pe piept-
Eticheta a credintei.
Si-o scanam cu semnul crucii
Drept dovada achitarii
A pacatelor perpetui…………
S-apoi pacatuim de spargem-
Injuram, furam si batem-
Incontinuu, incontinuu…
Pentru ca asa ne place,
Pentru ca asa traim,
Dar ni-e frica sa murim!
Si de ce ti-e frica oare?
Sau sa pierzi ceva te doare?
Stii, in mormant nu iai nimica-
Nici masina, nici garaj,
Si nici plasma extraplata.
Si nici credite, nici case-
De chibrituri cutioare.
Nu iai nimica, insa lasi
Dupa tine spre urmasi
Scrumul zilelor prea-arse
Precum gazul-in zadar…

Yes, it’s OFFICIAL… No more hiding behind the shadows… Even though there were numerous rumors about AMERO (North American Union currency), the G8 makes more global plans OFFICIAL - United Future World Currency Program - New World Currency Coin At G8!

Notice, these are not just some conspiracy sites making up some rumors over again… From all the news from G8 I have seen, I didn’t hear nor hear anything about this one in the mainstreams. I just hardly believe this one is so NOT important for entire world that it didn’t make it to wide news stream and announcements…

Some random thoughts:

• why there was no wide announcements for this, moreover given the world financial crisis they claim we are in
• if this is their solution and they make it official, why not announcing it properly?
• having a global currency would imply a very centralized and global power - who will own you, this is the question?

And now, for your viewing pleasure - links and excerpts:
