Italy Pictures - Europe stock photos Italy's history, art, architecture, and culture have attracted travelers for several centuries. The country has harbored a refined civilization for two millenia, as demonstrated on a grand scale by the imposing ruins of Rome's imperial past, and on a more daily scale, by the excavations of private villas in Pompei.

Color and decoration is present anywhere, from the rainbow colors on the facades of the great Romanesque-Gothic churches, to the pastel multicolored palette of villagers houses. Besides being spread with many architectural treasures, the countryside also often displays a remarkable harmony between the natural environment and the human elements, one that can be reached only by millenia of patient cultivation.

The activities are derived largely, but not entirely, from projects of the Concord Consortium sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF). The models are primarily of interactions of atoms and molecules, or rule-based genetics.

My guyline system for tarps Dave Cutherell of Gossamer Gear explains tarp basics during the 3-day Ultimate Hiking Course in Pisgah National Forest, May 2012. Earlier this Spring I was in a local outdoor retail store and overheard a floor salesman explaining the pros and cons of a conventional double-wall tent. “It is heavier than other options,” he admitted to the prospective buyers, “but it’s incredibly easy and fast to set up.” The salesman’s pitch embodies a common theme in gear selection: the battle of brain versus brawn. Personally, I prefer brains: by learning a few skills and by understanding the limitations and optimal uses of my gear, I am able to carry less and lighter gear without sacrificing my comfort or safety.
