Louis Daguerre

Today we are celebrating the birthday of Louis Daguerre one of the inventors of photography
"Daguerreotype photography"


AKA Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre
Born: 18-Nov-1787
Birthplace: Cormeilles, France
Died: 10-Jul-1851
Location of death: Bry-sur-Marne, France
Cause of death: Heart Failure
Gender: Male
Race or Ethnicity: White
Sexual orientation: Straight
Occupation: Inventor, Photographer
Nationality: France
Executive summary: Invented Daguerreotype photography
French painter and physicist, inventor of the daguerreotype, born at Cormeilles, in the department of Seine-et-Oise, and died on the 12th of July 1851 at Petit-Brie-sur-Marne, near Paris. He was at first occupied as an inland revenue officer, but soon took to scene painting for the opera. He assisted Pierre Prévost (1764-1823) in the execution of panoramic views of Rome, Naples, London, Jerusalem, and Athens, and subsequently (July 11, 1822), in conjunction with Bouton, he opened at Paris the Diorama, an exhibition of pictorial views, the effect of which was heightened by changes in the light thrown upon them. An establishment similar to that at Paris was opened by Daguerre in Regent's Park, London. On the 3rd of March 1839 the Diorama, together with the work on which Daguerre was then engaged, was destroyed by fire.
This reverse of fortune was soon, however, more than compensated for by the distinction he achieved as the inventor of the daguerreotype photographic process. Nicéphore Niépce, who since 1814 had been seeking a means of obtaining permanent pictures by the action of sunlight, learned in 1826 that Daguerre was similarly occupied. In 1829 he communicated to Daguerre particulars of his method of fixing the images produced in the camera lucida by making use of metallic plates coated with a composition of asphalt and oil of lavender; this, where acted on by the light, remained undissolved when the plate was plunged into a mixture of petroleum and oil of lavender, and the development of the image was effected by the action of acids and other chemical reagents on the exposed surface of the plate. The two investigators labored together in the production of their heliographic pictures from 1829 until the death of Niepce in 1833.
Daguerre, continuing his experiments, discovered eventually the process connected with his name. This, as he described it, consists of five operations: the polishing of the silver plate; the coating of the plate with iodide of silver by submitting it for about 20 minutes to the action of iodine vapor; the projection of the image of the object upon the golden-colored iodized surface; the development of the latent image by means of the vapor of mercury; and, lastly, the fixing of the picture by immersing the plate in a solution of sodium "hyposulphite" (sodium thiosulphate).
On the 9th of January 1839, at a meeting of the Academy of Sciences, François Arago dwelt on the importance of the discovery of the daguerreotype; and, in consequence of the representations made by him and Gay-Lussac to the French government, Daguerre was on the 15th of June appointed an officer of the Legion of Honor. On the same day a bill was presented to the chambers, according to the provisions of which Daguerre and the heir of Niepce were to receive annuities of 6000 and 4000 francs respectively, on the condition that their process should be made known to the Academy. The bill having been approved at the meetings of the two chambers on the 9th of July and on the 2nd of August, Daguerre's process, together with his system of transparent and opaque painting, was published by the government, and soon became generally known. Daguerre wrote a memoir, Historique et description des procédés du daguerréotype et du diorama (Paris, 1839), and another work, Nouveau moyen de préparer la couche sensible des plaques destinées à recevoir les images photographiques (Paris, 1844).

Diet recepies

and Back with Miss Chubby Diva and some of my special recepies .
since in most of us in arab countries are fond of beans and falafel... so i found this recepie for falafel ... it's really tastey and above all healthy.. enjoy

recipe ingredients
1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 can (15 oz.) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 cup loosely packed cilantro leaves
1 cup loosely packed flat-leaf parsley
1 cup cooked long-grain brown rice
1 tsp. curry powder
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
3/4 cup bread crumbs
4 hamburger buns, preferably whole- wheat
4 leaves of dark, leafy green lettuce
4 slices tomato

recipe directions

Heat the oil in a medium, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté onion and garlic until the onion is soft and the garlic golden, about 4 minutes. Let cool.

Place the sautéed onion in a blender or food processor. Add the chickpeas. Pulse to coarsely chop the beans. Add cilantro, parsley, rice, curry and cayenne. Pulse until all ingredients are finely chopped and evenly distributed. Turn the mixture into a bowl.

Add the juice and 1/4 cup of the bread crumbs. Have the remaining bread crumbs ready in a shallow dish or bowl. With your hands, knead the chickpea mixture until it is like a moist dough. Scooping up 1/4 cup at a time, form the chickpea mixture into patties. Coat lightly with remaining breadcrumbs. Repeat, making eight 3-inch patties.

Heat the grill, griddle, or cast iron skillet. Brush lightly with oil. Place the patties down an inch apart. Cook 4 minutes, until brown in spots. Turn and cook another 4 minutes, to brown lightly on second side. Or, heat the broiler and place the falafel in a shallow foil-lined pan. Broil 3 minutes, turn and cook on the other side for 3 minutes. Serve immediately on whole-wheat buns with lettuce and sliced tomato.

For you

do you believe in love from first sight i do
do you believe in happiness from first smile ido
do you believe in sacrificing all what you have for the sake of the one you love i do
you know what's love .. it's as sweet as a flying dove, it's to be felt not to be said , it's when your face turns red, it's shyness ,care or noble aim , it's when you have to listen when you are to blame... it's having so many questions and no answers . it;s when u feel you are the last two dancers , it's whenever you wish to end your start , it's when u and ur mind are for long time apart.
it's when u feel you are drowning and searching for a rope .... it's when you feel that your partner is the only hope.. it's when you smile and remember how lucky you are to live this fruitful life.
it's when you forget all what you are living for and just wait for your goodnight phonecall , it's smiling for remembering a word you always heard it as a normal vocab. it's living ,smiling , cheering and continous happiness , it's erasing your past ,, loving your present and waiting for your future just to be with him
it's when you feel all the dreams you want are coming true it's all the feelings i am having for you

Romantic vs Non romantic

It's hard to be yourself and be romantic at the same time!!.
Like, if a girl asks you what's your favorite fruit?
You have to say cherries..or strawbarries...or something even smaller and less tasteful...you can never say (borto2an besorra) for example..why the hell is that?
Why can't I be romantic and like water melon for a change?. .making slurping sounds while eating , and spitting the seeds and all.

You also can't be romantic and choose things like (roz bellaban bel ice cream wel mekasarat) as your favorite dessert!!
Just imagine it..you are out with a girl..you are sitting in a restaurant..you just finished your meals, and you ask her:
You: Sweetie, what would you like for dessert? Ana nefsy adrab wa7ed sakalans men 3and Abo Ramy!!. Nah..wrong answer.
The right answer will be the damn Blueberry cake...there's something mystical about the blueberry cake..cause you don't know what blueberry means, and it tastes like crap anyway, but they still order it .
(If you are a blueberry cake fan, then I have to say that el Sakalans consists of: 7alawa te7eeneya, eshta, merraba and 3asal, you can add anything you want to it on one condition, that, it has to have more than 100 calories per gram).

Another thing that could ruin a romantic evening is calling el kheyar el mekhalel Torshi...eww..its called pickles you disgusting boy.
( If you are a Torshi fan then I have to say that eww means ya333).

Also all the waiters are called (law sama7t or men fadlak and sometimes ba3d eznak) there are no waiters called (Ya kotsh , Ya 3'aly , Khod ya bashmohandes or bsss bsss)..no no.

So below 2 lists of romantic stuff and not so romantic stuff.

Mrs freaky *sorry i am on a diet*

it really grabbed my attention that all of the Egyptian 15+ girls and guys are following the phrase * sorry i am on a diet * for some odd reason following a diet and eating healthy food became a trend that all of us are following blindly . me MISS CHUBBY DIVA   believe in one thing it's not that food that makes u fat it's you that makes you fat ..... rule number one don't starve your body or just feed it what it doesn't like ... the golden rule is love your body so your body will love you....i don't eat zucchini although it's the best laxative and the most easily digested food with the least amount of calories.... i will never feed my body with zucchini that it hates other wise * hytl3 yshabshbly w ynzel * i love that calorie counter diet with the number of calories i should take daily .... the below pictures are the amounts of junk food that we usually crave while we r on a diet and we are band from it but still they are food and so they have calories so we can take the least portion and fulfil our needs so our bodies will start burning  even on eating  unhealthy crap;) 

exercise and exercise , walk and walk... jog and jog... meditate and play yoga... sing dance shout and scream try to get the energy that u need to burn in your body with what u love to do... it's not a catastrophe that you were born fat or overweight ...... everyone has his own beauty built inside and the smart one is the only one who can discover what's is inside... just check your health it's god gift for us that we should care for and protect otherwise don't look to yourself and say i am ugly just look to yourself and say god made me beautiful i am beautiful smart and witty ... i need some reshaping i will do it myself otherwise i am god's own creation that's unique and no one on earth is just like me //

Enjoy your day
