The visit to the National Trust property in Derbyshire, Kedleston Hall.
Kedleston Hall is a neo-classical manor house owned by the National Trust, and seat of the Curzon family, located in Kedleston, Derbyshire, approximately 4 miles (6 km) north-west of Derby. The medieval village of Kedleston was moved in 1759 by Nathaniel Curzon to make way for the manor. All that remains of the original village is the 12th century All Saints Church, Kedleston.
The current house was commissioned in 1759 by Nathaniel Curzon and designed by Robert Adam.
The Curzon family, whose name originates in Notre-Dame-de-Courson in Normandy, have been in Kedleston since at least 1297, and have lived in a succession of manor houses near to or on the site of the present Kedleston Hall. The present house was commissioned by Sir Nathaniel Curzon (later 1st Baron Scarsdale) in 1759. The house was designed by the Palladian architects James Paine and Matthew Brettingham and was loosely based on an original plan by Andrea Palladio for the never-built Villa Mocenigo.
At the time a relatively unknown architect, Robert Adam, was designing some garden temples to enhance the landscape of the park; Curzon was so impressed with his designs that Adam was quickly put in charge of the construction of the new mansion.
On the death of Richard Curzon, 2nd Viscount Scarsdale in 1977, expenses compelled the heir, his cousin (Francis Curzon), to transfer the property to the care of the National Trust.
All Saints Church. It is the only survivor of the medieval village which Sir Nathaniel Curzon demolished to provide a site for his new house.
The oldest surviving feature is a Norman south door. The rest dates to the late 13th century.
In 1700 Sir Nathaniel Curzon, 2nd Bt got Smith of Warwick to classicise the east wall facing the house.
Between 1795 and 1916 the rector of Kedleston was a member of the Curzon family.
The church if now in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.

How much energy can contain our body ?
We don't have any answer,
we can see only an electric shadow
like a bright wake leaving our body
and disappear into the darkness all around.

Law Biting Citizens were pretty much one of the best Morgantown punk bands. I spent many a Sundays watching them play all-ages shows and was very excited to hear about this reunion. I was originally tempted to take video of the show, but felt stills would allow me to enjoy it more.

We went to the Lehigh Zoo on Sat. with the McCaffreys. For a buck you can feed the lorikeet. One of these birds decided my thumb looked better than the nectar in the cup and took a pretty good chomp of it. I didn't bleed, but I new it was there. The birds that couldn't get their heads in the cups bit holes in the bottom of the cups trying ti get it out. Apparently, we were the first ones of the day to feed them. :-)
this is Baby when I first got her. She is sulking here a little bit. She was a MASSIVELY BAD biter. When she grabbed your finger you had to pry it off.Yep lots of blood. She is the worst biter I ever had! I got her cheap because of her behavior. I took her home and began the no bite training. I tried all the conventional tap the nose say no traning and got no where. Sooooooo, I filled a leather glove with rice and held it near her mouth. When she bit, I held it in her mouth so she couldn't get away from it. I had to do this about 3 days. Now, she's a gentle ferret! She's really a wonderful girl!
