Easy Basket by RWM

The William and Mary men’s basketball team led from start to finish and pushed its home-court winning streak to 14 games with a 77-58 victory over Elon on Wednesday night at Kaplan Arena. W&M shot 49 percent from the floor, knocked down ten 3-pointers and connected on 17-of-20 from the free throw line in outdistancing Elon. W&M remained in first place in the CAA at 10-3 in league and 16-8 overall, while Elon dropped to 11-15 on the year and 3-10 in CAA play.

Omar Prewitt led the Tribe, scoring 18 of his game-high 19 points in the first half to go with seven rebounds, four assists and two blocked shots. Sean Sheldon picked up his first career double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds, while Marcus Thornton finished with 17 points and three assists.

The Tribe jumped out to an early advantage thanks in large part to the play of Prewitt and Sheldon. They combined for 24 of the Tribe’s opening 28 points as the Green and Gold opened up a double-digit advantage. W&M scored 11 of game’s first 13 points as four straight from Sheldon, including a pair of free throws, gave W&M the nine-point cushion.

Five straight from Elon closed the gap to 11-7 at the 13:51 mark, but W&M responded with and 8-2 run, including six from Prewitt. His 3-pointer from the left side extended the Tribe lead to 19-9. The Tribe lead remained in double digits, jumping to 30-15 on a Thornton setback jumper with four and a half minutes left in the half. The margin was 11 points following an Elijah Bryant jumper at the 3:20 mark, before the home team ripped off a 12-2 run to push its advantage over 20.

Connor Burchfield provided W&M with a huge lift off the bench, hitting back-to-back 3-pointers. A steal and fast break bucket from Thornton gave W&M a 17-point advantage and forced an Elon timeout. The Green and Gold run continued on a tough finish inside from Sheldon and a pair of Prewitt free throws, extending the lead to 42-21 with a minute left in the first half. W&M led by 19 at the intermission after shooting 51.7 percent (15-of-29), while limiting Elon to 36 percent (9-of-25) in the opening 20 minutes.

The visiting Phoenix scored eight of first 11 in the second half to draw within 14 points. Hamilton scored six straight points for Elon, including a steal and fast break lay-up to close the visitors to within 45-31 with 16:45 left.

After failing to hit a 3-pointer in the opening 20 minutes, Thornton knocked down back-to-back triples, including one of the step-back variety, to push the lead back to 18, 51-33, and the Phoenix never got closer than 15 points the rest of the way. His fast break lay-up off a Sheldon defensive rebound and look-ahead pass gave W&M a 60-40 lead with just under eight minutes remaining.

The cushion reached as many as 23 on a pair of occasions, including on Thornton’s third 3-pointer of the second half with 2:50 to play. From there, both teams emptied the bench and W&M picked up a 77-58 win, its 16th of the season. The 16 wins rank 10th in program history.

In a stark contrast from the earlier meeting this season, W&M limited Elon to just 3-of-22 (13.6 percent) from 3-point range, including only 1-of-14 from its top two scorers in Bryant and Tanner Samson. The Phoenix duo was 12-of-22 from long range and combined for 45 points in their home win over the Tribe in January. Elon finished the game shooting 40.3 percent (25-of-62) from the floor. Bryant led Elon with 15 points and 10 rebounds, but was just 5-of-15 from the field and 1-of-4 from 3-point range. Samson, who had 20 in the first meeting, finished with just two points and was 0-of-10 from 3-point range. Hamilton added 13 points, while Christian Hairston tallied 10 off the bench.

Playing without the services of guard Daniel Dixon, who was out due to injury, the Tribe received a number of contributions, especially from its freshman class. Rookie Oliver Tot garnered his first career start, finishing with three rebounds and two assists in a strong floor game. Greg Malinowski added six points, knocking down a pair of 3-pointers, to go along with two assists and fellow classmate Burchfield poured in six points on two 3-pointers. Tom Schalk added six points, four rebounds and a career-high three blocked shots off the bench.

W&M shot 49 percent (25-of-51) on the night, including a 10-of-24 (41.7 percent) effort from 3-point range. The Green and Gold continued its strong free throw shooting, connecting on 85 percent (17-of-20) from the charity stripe. The Tribe out rebounded Elon, 36-30, and dished out 14 assists on its 25 made field goals.

Red Weasel Media was sitting on the baseline to capture all of the high flying action.

Gdansk Santa parade by Ellie

Dec 2009

Day 3 in Gdansk started with a wander to follow some Christmassy music - a local church was hosting a St Nicholas Day fete, including a guy dressed as St Nicholas. There was also food available in the form of bread, some sort of spread (herring?) and gerkhins (eugh yuk! not for me!), as well as cake.

After this distraction we headed to the Gdansk shipyard gates and the Monument to the Fallen Shipyard Workers 1970 which we had promised to take mum too.

We stopped off at the pieces of the Berlin Wall and Gdansk shipyard wall for quick photos.

Whilst at the Monument we heard and almighty noise of engines and horns honking. We had seen an unusually high police pressence as we walked by and wondered what was going on but we had no idea what to expect. Curiosity got the better of me and Paul (and mum and dad followed) and we came to see hundreds of people on motorbikes dressed as Santas (turns out there were 2300 bikes and 2900 participants - according to a Flickr source). The noise was unbelievable (although Paul tells me not as noisy as race days). Everyone dressed up was very festive. It is a charity event, collecting money for children's charities.

We stopped one guy dressed in a City of Westminster flourescent jacket - I asked if he was English and the answer was no. I asked if he had worked in England and again the answer was no. Somehow he had acquired a City of Westminster Keep the Streets Clean jacket. Very bizarre.

Paul and I very, very briefly toyed with whether we could come over next year on his bike. We quickly rejected the idea as (a) there were no other nationality's bikes and (b) it was freezing cold, and travelling across West and Central Europe on a bike in December wasn't that appealing!

Mum and Dad left us to watch the bikes and went off to the Solidarity / Solidarnosc Roads to Freedom exhibition and Paul and I spent some more time bike spotting and then headed for drinks and more gorgeous cakes.

After meeting with Mum and Dad and them having cakes too, we all headed to the bus stop as we intended to go and see Westerplatte where WW2 began. We looked at the bus times and unfortunately there was just one bus, which ran every 40 mins and which ran a limited service in Winter. Due to the time we couldn't guarantee getting back into Gdansk and we couldn't guarantee there would be taxis available, so sadly we had to opt out of the visit.

Instead Mum and Dad headed into Gdansk for a wander and Paul and I headed to the Christmas Market (which turned out to be a market, which only a slight Christmas flavour) and did some Christmas shopping for Paul and shared a Polish sausage which was yummy and filled a gap.

In the evening we headed out for food at the Sphinx restaurant which served, well, we weren't sure as the menu was entirely in Polish. Case of guess work and checking with the waiter who then served whatever we pointed to!

After food it was to Cafe Ferber once again for more drinks - Paul had a Bubble Gum shake which he said was too sickly. It was nice for a sip but I think he was brave to drink the lot. I stuck to Vodka.

Then it was a final few Christmas light photos and a relatively early night. We got up at 3am the next morning in order to catch a minibus which didn't turn up. So we took a taxi to the airport for our 6am flight home.

Notes: The Scanpenn (5,302 grt, 410 ft. long) was built as the Bird City in 1919 - one of a large series of transports built for the

U.S. Shipping Board and known as "Hog Islanders", named after the location of the shipbuilder's yard. She worked for the

American Scantic Line before the line was bought from the Shipping Board by Moore & McCormack in 1927.

Together with 5 sisters, the Bird City was purchased by Moore & McCormack shortly afterwards.

She was converted (with three of her sisters) to a passenger-cargo liner in 1932 and renamed Scanpenn.

The Scanpenn and her sister the Scanmail were also used on the American Caribbean Line service

during a few winter seasons in the mid-1930s, alternating with summer season service to the Baltic.

Following the arrival of new tonnage, all ships used on the American Scantic Line were sold to Lloyd Brasileiro in 1939. The Scanpenn then became the Buarque. She was torpedoed and sunk off the coast of North Carolina in 1942.

Avison Ensemble: Benjamin Zander music interpretation workshops, Day 4, Thursday 16 August 2012, King’s Hall, Newcastle University by Avison Ensemble

Benjamin Zander working with the cellist Gordon Dixon and pianist Chinami Smith on the first movement of Beethoven's Cello Sonata No. 3 in A major, Op. 69 during the fourth day of music workshops organised by The Avison Ensemble.

The Avison Ensemble is delighted to have welcomed Benjamin Zander to present a series of music workshops in Newcastle for musicians and listeners as part of our ongoing commitment to music learning in the North East. These workshops were held from 13th to 16th August 2012 in Newcastle University’s King’s Hall; they were open to amateur and professional musicians of all ages and to listeners, including those with no previous experience of classical music.

These workshops were transformative and inspirational for the musicians participating as they discovered new possibilities in interpretation, expression and performance. Ben explored the ‘hidden language’ of music and the impact of its use on both performers and listeners. However, these were not technical master classes – they were full of surprises and often emotional experiences which transformed the audience and players’ outlook on the relationship of music to life.

The Avison Ensemble is the outstanding period instrument orchestra based in Newcastle upon Tyne, which plays and popularises the music of Charles Avison (1709-1770) and other English classical composers of the Baroque period, such as Garth, Arne and Herschel. The Ensemble also performs Purcell, Handel, Vivaldi, Corelli, Geminiani, Pergolesi, Teleman, Rameau, Bach, Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven. The Ensemble is strongly committed to music learning in North East England and has an active education programme and its own annual Young Musicians’ Awards competition.

Ben Zander is the acclaimed conductor of the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra and a passionate musician and speaker of world renown. He has collaborated in performances with many of the world’s greatest musicians, amongst whom have been Rostropovich, Oscar Shumsky, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Martha Argerich, Yo-Yo Ma, and Jaqueline Du Pré.

Ben’s work with young people and youth orchestras is world renowned and he has recently been awarded the Youth Orchestra of the Americas 10th anniversary award for his invaluable contribution to the youth symphony movement across the Americas. He has recently formed the Boston Philharmonic Youth Orchestra to “… shape the musical leadership of tomorrow”.

Ben is one of the most sought-after speakers in the world. Bringing his insights as the conductor of major symphony orchestras to business leaders involved in transformation and change, Ben has become a much sought-after speaker to major organizations all over the world including Shell, IBM, Arthur Andersen, KPMG, Sprint, NASA and the US Army.

Peugeot 404

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"The Peugeot 404 is a large family car produced by French automobile manufacturer Peugeot from 1960 to 1975.

A truck body style variant was marketed until 1988.

The 404 was manufactured under licence in various African countries until 1991 (in Kenya) and was manufactured in Argentina by Safrar/Sevel in El Palomar, in Québec, Canada at the St-Bruno-de-Montarville SOMA Ltd. plant and in Chile by Automotores Franco Chilena S.A. in Los Andes.

Styled by Pininfarina, the 404 was offered initially as a saloon, estate, and pickup.

A convertible was added in 1962, and a coupé in 1963.

The 404 was fitted with a 1.6 L petrol engine, with either a Solex carburetor or Kugelfischer mechanical fuel injection or a 1.9 L diesel engine available as options.

Introduced at the Paris Motor Show as an option was the inclusion of a 3-speed ZF automatic transmission, similar to the unit already offered on certain BMW models, as an alternative to the standard column-mounted manual unit.

Popular as a taxicab, the 404 enjoyed a reputation for durability and value.

Peugeot's French production run of 1,847,568 404s ended in 1975. A total of 2,885,374 units had been produced worldwide at the end of production."

Lorraine Hotel, Memphis, TN by Robby Virus

The Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee is now the home of the National Civil Rights Museum. It is the site where Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King was assassinated.

The Windsor Hotel, at the corner of Mulberry Street and Huling Avenue near downtown Memphis, opened in the 1920s. Walter and Loree Bailey purchased the Windsor in 1942 and re-named it the Lorraine Hotel, after both Loree and the song "Sweet Lorraine".

In the days of legal segregation, the Windsor / Lorraine was one of the few hotels in Memphis open to black guests. Its location, walking distance from Beale Street, the main street of Memphis' black community, made it attractive to visiting celebrities. When Louis Armstrong, Sarah Vaughan, or Nat "King" Cole came to town, they stayed at the Lorraine.

Later, an annex, typical in design of motels built along America's new interstate highways in the 1960s, was added behind the original mustard-yellow brick hotel.

In March 1968, the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King visited Memphis to support the city's striking garbage collectors. He checked into the Lorraine, and led a march that, despite his policy of non-violence. turned violent. A second march was then planned.

On April 3, in a speech at Memphis Mason Temple, Dr. King said "We've got some difficult days ahead. But it really doesn't matter with me now, because I've been to the mountain top. I won't mind. Like anybody, I would like to live a long life."

Dr. King was assassinated at the Lorraine the next night, as he stood on the balcony outside room 306, on the motel's second floor. The official account of the shooting named a single assassin, James Earl Ray, who fired one shot from the top floor of a rooming house whose rear windows overlooked the motel.

After the assassination, the Lorraine became a residential motel which Walter Bailey, who still owned it, operated at a loss. He declared bankruptcy in 1982, and the motel was ordered sold. There was a real possibility of losing the historic buildings to developers. On the morning of the auction, a group of Memphis businessmen came up with enough in checks and pledges to buy the motel. They planned to remodel it and open a museum.

Jacqueline Smith, the Lorraine's last resident, refused to leave. She was forcibly removed in 1988, and then maintained a permanent vigil of protest on the sidewalk across Mulberry Street. She had a couple old sofas and some bed sheet signs, and claimed that money used to turn the motel into a tourist attraction could have been better spent on converting it to public housing.

The National Civil Rights Museum opened in 1992. Room 306 is marked with a wreath. Inside, it's as it was on the evening of April 4, 1968. The 1959 Dodge and 1968 Cadillac parked under it are identical to the cars, in the same parking spaces, appearing in photographs taken moments after the shooting.

In 2002, the museum acquired the rooming house from where the fatal shot may have come, and opened exhibits on its top floor.

Das Berner Münster ist dem Hl. Vinzenz von S.aragossa geweiht und ist die grösste

und wichtigste spätmittelalterliche Kirche der Schweiz.

.

Es wurde im Stil der Gotik erbaut und gehört zu jenen gotischen Kirchen, die erst

im 19. Jahrhundert nach Aufkommen der Romantik vollendet werden konnten.

Südlich vor dem Münster zur A.are hin liegt die P.arkanlage der M.ünsterplattform.

.

***************************************************************************************************************

B a u g e s c h i c h t e

***************************************************************************************************************

.

Der Grundstein zu dem unter dem Patrozinium des Vinzenz von Saragossa stehenden

Münster wurde 1421 gelegt.

Zuvor hatte dort schon die L.eutkirche gestanden, eine bei der zähringischen Stadt-

gründung um 1190 errichtete und 1276 neu erbaute romanische K.apelle. Das

Münster wurde im U.hrzeigersinn um die alte Leutkirche herumgebaut.

Bauherr des Münsters waren der Staat Bern und der D.eutsche O.rden, nicht die

Kirche.

Obendrein wurden die K.apellen und die C.horfenster durch wohlhabende B.erner

F.amilien und Z.ünfte finanziert.

.

Der erste W.erkmeister beim Bau des neuen Münsters war Matthäus Ensinger.

.

Nach süddeutschem Brauch begann er nur einen W.estturm in der Breite des

ganzen Schiffs. Während seine V.orbilder (U.lmer M.ünster, F.reiburger M.ünster

und K.athedrale S.ankt N.ikolaus in F.ribourg ) bloss das eine M.itteltor betonen,

fasste Ensinger alle drei W.estportale zu einem d.reiteiligen, reich geschmückten

V.orbau zusammen.

Zwischen 1460 und 1480 schuf der S.teinmetz Erhart Küng die F.iguren der

H.auptvorhalle sowie das weltbekannte M.ünsterportal.

1521 wurde der T.urmbau auf der Höhe des unteren Achtecks wegen schwacher

F.undamente unterbrochen. Erst 1893 erreichte der T.urm seine volle H.öhe von

100,6 Meter.

.

***************************************************************************************************************

M ü n s t e r p o r t a l

***************************************************************************************************************

.

Die 234 fein gearbeiteten S.andsteinfiguren des M.ünsterportals stellen das J.üngste

G.ericht dar und sind weltberühmt. Wegen der L.uftverschmutzung im 20. Jahrhundert

mussten die 47 lebensgrossen F.iguren durch K.opien ersetzt werden. Die O.riginalfi-

guren wurden restauriert und sind im H.istorischen M.useum B.ern ausgestellt.

Es führt ein E.ngel, als D.iakon gekleidet, die klugen J.ungfrauen an, deren bräutlicher

P.runk an niederländische K.unst erinnert; seine S.chriftrolle enthält die W.orte:

.

«Vorsichtig, keusch und wis (weise), wyl Ihr gewesen sind, gehnd (geht) herin, Freunde

süss, zu Eurem Brütigam, Mariens K.ind.»

.

Rechts antworten die Törichten, händeringend, in fremdartiger T.racht «Ach und Weh,

dass wir nicht Ochle hand (haben), Gehnd (gebt) uns zu kauffen, dass wir mit Euch ine

gahnd (gehen).»

.

***************************************************************************************************************

***************************************************************************************************************

.

Der T.urm wurde 1521 auf der Höhe des untern A.chtecks (knapp 61 m) unterbrochen

und erst von 1889 bis 1893 zur endgültigen H.öhe von gut 100 Meter vollendet, was ihn

zum höchsten K.irchturm der Schweiz macht.

Noch heute wohnt auf dem T.urm ein T.urmwächter; bis weit ins 20. Jahrhundert hinein

hatte er die A.ufgabe, B.rände zu melden. 254 steinerne S.tufen führen spiralförmig zur

ersten T.urmgalerie in etwa 50 Meter Höhe und weitere 90 S.tufen zur zweiten G.alerie

auf 64 m, die dem Publikum ebenfalls zugänglich ist.

Es eröffnet sich eine prachtvolle A.ussicht über die Altstadt, die A.areschlaufe, die

B.erner A.lpen mit E.iger, M.önch und J.ungfrau im S.üdosten und die J.uraketten im

N.ordwesten.

J.ahre 1868 und zeigen S.zenen aus dem N.euen T.estament.

Bis zur Reformation waren die privat finanzierten K.apellen mit S.chranken von den

S.eitenschiffen abgetrennt. Die S.tifter hielten in „ihren“ K.apellen private M.essen

und G.ottesdienste ab.

Die K.apellen waren deshalb sehr vielfältig mit A.ltären, W.appen, G.lasmalereien und

K.unstw.erken ausgestattet. Sie waren in gewissem S.inne „ K.irchen in der K.irche“.

Bereits in der L.eutkirche war das G.rab des K.naben R.udolf von B.ern verehrt

worden, der am 17. A.pril 1294 angeblich Opfer eines j.üdischen R.itualmordes

geworden war.

Seine G.ebeine wurden in den K.reuzaltar des neuen Münsters übertragen, beim

B.ildersturm im Jahre 1529 jedoch wieder aus dem Münster entfernt und ausserhalb

der Kirche begraben.

South Korea : The Little Angels Children's Folk Ballet by Vasu..

1

The Little Angels Children's folk ballet visited India as part of their 60 years thanks giving to all countries that helped south korea during the Korean war.

The Little Angels Children’s Folk Ballet of Korea was founded in 1962 by Sun Myung Moon, also known as the founder of the Unification Church, to project a positive image of South Korea.[1] In 1973 they performed at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City.[2] The group’s dances are based on Korean legends and regional dances, and its costumes on traditional Korean styles. Choral singing by the troupe in various languages is also featured. [3]

In 2010 the Little Angels traveled to the United States to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Korean War. This was sponsored by the Korean War 60th Anniversary Memorial Committee, whose chairman, Bo Hi Pak, is also the president of the Little Angels. [4] Later that year they traveled to the other 15 nations which had sent troops to support South Korea in the United Nations force.[5][6] The Little Angels is supported financially by the Tongil Group, a South Korean business group associated with the Unification Church, though the Tongil Foundation.[7]
