Recently in my feed reader1, after about only 30 words of post text (my translation):
[Now only a small appetizer as feed. Bye and sorry to all who like to read the feed!]
Now another feed gone from my reader. Bye from someone who liked to read the feed!
There are only a few blogs who manage to still be subscribed to by me despite of their abbreviated feed… but you, too, are more “endangered” than others.
It certainly happens that I read less of you than if your feed were delivering complete posts, because I don’t click on every post. It’s also a matter of the time it takes, you know. Especially if the short text doesn’t really show what the post is about and what one can expect (depends on its length, of course; one blog, for instance, used to have not even one complete line). Just wanted to mention that…
On the Sunday of my Montreux holiday I went to Vevey, the city next to Montreux, because firstly, I expected better weather there, and secondly for the large flea market there (always an invitation to stroll around).
Quite a strong wind was blowing that day – wind and kite surfers probably liked it…
…and the waves could let off some steam, too:
And since these photos can easily be made to match this week’s topic of Projekt 52, “Poem interpretation” – a poem for a photo or a photo for a poem –, I’m using especially the last of the images above for this project, in combination with the poem “An den Mistral” (=”To the Mistral”)1 by Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (see here in Projekt Gutenberg for its text – in German, of course).
Now let’s continue with the photos. In Vevey, I happened to come accross the final part of the Triathlon de la Riviera:
Participants, if you don’t want to see your photo here, just drop me a line.
And on the way back, there was a jet ski race at Clarens:
even though that’s not a Mistral at Lake Geneva [↩]
Welcome to the latest edition of “replying” to search queries… I am the threat that is so real!
For those who don’t know yet: These search phrases, highlighted in grey, led people here, and I neither shortened nor extended them nor made them up, I just translated the German ones.

Here! All visiters are VIPs here!
beware
Of what?
evil page
Here? No, you’re wrong. Well, unless you are one of those believing in moon calendars, ghosts and similar stuff:
moon calendar tomorrow
Just as nonsensical as today.
indoor mondphasen grow
Mixing languages macht es auch not more sensible.
horoscope 8/8/8 pieces
Yes, tear your stupid horoscope three times into 8 pieces!
newspaper clippings by supernatural
No, newspapers can only be cut by natural persons.
ghosts aliens ufos astronomy links
Don’t exist, don’t exist on earth, are no aliens, and you probably mean astrology?
god tells me how the music should sound but you stand in my way
Maybe it’s not me who’s in the way, but your rational thinking about the (non-)existence of a god – and not only in the way of your music but also your homework(?)1 to find out who this quote is from, huh?
the highest drawn lotto numbers
49. (In 6/49 lotto, of course.)
lotto of swiss wikipedia
I don’t think the Swiss Wikipedia conducts its own lottery.
i can’t believe that we

does mankind come from another planet
No.
blah
Run out of ideas? Then that’s it for today, bye, cause it’s all about the money
Sunsets at a lake have their own magic, that applies to Montreux too, of course…
Ships are still running when it’s getting dark:
The old market hall (Marché couvert) from 1890 – the lighting is probably more modern:
From Friday night after the shows – taken with the small camera, for as I mentioned I didn’t want to carry the large one with me during the concerts, and this was the only night when the lake was quiet enough for larger reflections:
At the end, a few “strange” stripes from Sunday – surely some conspriacy theorists got their own ideas of that – and an almost boring cloudless evening on Monday:
…”of course” also contains in Pfaffenhofen a few, how should I say, scientifically and by common sense not really kosher topics.
For instance, there are four Feng Shui courses – before we’ll have a closer look at these, here’s a quick quiz (please don’t cheat by looking at the course links below):
Which categories are these Feng Shui courses offered in?

Update: Not too many voters… well, they use the category ecology! (Probably because the first Fen Shui course they ever offered had been for the garden.)
The offered classes (everything in my translation):
These fees are quite low – since the adult education center (VHS) offers this mystic-laden hodgepodge – with scientifically untenable “cosmic energies” and other stuff – the two “counselors” who lead the classes (one the first, another the other three) will reach potential new customers this way who quite probably are willing to pay more money later on – for instance, two-digit square meter proces for the rooms to be examined. Lacking experience, I can’t say anything about the prices and respectability of these two providers, of course.
In the sleep course you learn, among other things (my translation):
From the feng shui point of view, [bad sleep] can be caused, among other things, by bad placement of the bed, sharp edges, skewness, wrong material, electric smog, too screaming colors, water veins or other geopathic disturbance zones.
Hey, if I lie on sharp edges or a skewed stone bed, I need no feng shui to know it’s uncomfortable and bad for sleeping! Of course they also include that balderdash about disturbing water veins and “geopathic disturbance zones” (great words – just let some dowser, energy-with-hand-senser or I-see-all-energetic-problems-jabberer walk through your house, he’ll always find (or rather make up) something that he can sell a solution for or at least “justify” his counselling fees).
I just don’t get how the “ancient masters” (mentioned in the 1st yourse) could have included electric smog in their teachings…
Kinesiology perceives the person holistically. Using the muscle test (biofeedback to the body and subconcious), you can see what weakens your body (=drains enery) or strengthens it.
And here it applies, too: Once the patients are hooked on it, they are likely to pay more – maybe even enormous amounts for a placebo effect, some minor movement exercises and for a “muscle test” that’s unsuitable for any pretended diagnostic purposes. (» SkepDic).
Seeing all these, shamanistic round dances and meditation drumming (offered too, of course) are quite harmless and entertaining, even fun…
