I would not describe as a wasted evening with two great MOJITIOS,...... But the Club is FLAMENCO..... but hey there was a clue in the title.... Huh !
Described as 'the jewel in the crown of Welsh country houses', Erddig is a fascinating early 18th-century country house which reflects a gentry family's 250 years of upstairs-downstairs life.
It is set within a superb 18th-century formal garden and romantic landscape park
Once described by Jay Rayner as "a humble trattoria on a scuffed and smudged stretch of Lavender Hill in south London.", restauranteur Gabriele Vitale's Donna Margherita has been flying the metaphorical and literal flag for Neapolitan food since 2003. Just a stone's throw away from the Battersea Arts Centre, you can expect (…like any restaurant/pizzeria so grounded in the culture and 'bellissimo' food of Southern Italy) an experience that pays serious attention to its pasta, pizza and wine. You know, all the delicious stuff that's kinda bad for you :3
What's good then? A family run restaurant with a fierce focus on its roots. Your pasta arriving al dente, which is how the Neapolitans do things (…and as the manager will be keen to inform you) - a menu of 100+ wines (including some very pricey fine ones), ridiculously good cheeses (obviously), Italian style Sunday lunches (plus Tombola - Italian Bingo!), oak aged grappa, and what appears to be an entirely Italian staff (with some Italian diners too). If you particularly enjoy something on the menu - there's a good chance that you can buy some of the ingredients (this includes wine) to take home. But it'll cost ya!
As for ambiance, in summer you'll see people enjoying the outdoor, out front terrace - whereas the inside is quite classically Italian - lots of rustic wood and photos/paintings of presumably Italian people hanging out on presumably Italian streets. Plus drying underwear/laundry and a DJ booth up in the ceiling (lol yup). They say that they've had a few rough patches, but hopefully those days are behind them - and if my visit is anything to go by, they should be. Well done Donna Margherita - here's to the next 13 years or so…

In heraldic terms, the arms are described as follows: Argent; two wolves counterrampant supporting a cauldron with hook sable, between three crescents reversed, two in chief and one in base gules, with the Crest: A lion rampant gules holding between the paws a crescent reversed or, mantled gules doubled argent and with the motto Per Vias Rectas. Fr. Edmund Murphy, S.J., in a typically thorough and erudite article for the 1962 Belvederian renders this in plain language.
"On the silver field two black wolves upright and facing, supporting a black cauldron with hook, between red inverted crescents two above and one below. The Crest, placed on a wreath of colours, is a red lion rampant holding an inverted gold crescent. The motto Per Vias Rectas means 'by straight ways or paths'."
The wolves and the hanging cauldron are taken from the Loyola family arms. Wolves were common in the Basque districts of Spain and were often represented as emblems in heraldry. Fr. Murphy rejects the common belief that the name Loyola derives from the contracted Lobo - y - olla - the wolf and the pot. He cites Fr. Broderick's “The Pilgrim Years” as authority for the more prosaic explanation that ‘Loi’ is the Basque for loam, ‘ol’ is a suffix meaning 'profusion' and ‘a’ is the definite article." Hence Loyola means 'abundance of loam'. The wolves are more likely to have owed their place on the Loyola escutcheon to their roles as victims of some family hunting exploits than to any connection with the Loyola name.
Pevsner describes this as "The perfect setting: English country house and church". Although there is a passage from inside the house to the church, the church is much older, dating from the mid C13. St Peter's is also the parish church and not part of the National Trust estate.
How to describe El Roccio
El Rocío, the most significant town in the vicinity of the Parque Nacional de Doñana, surprises first-timers. Its streets, unpaved and covered in sand, are lined with colourfully decked-out single-storey houses with sweeping verandahs, left empty half the time. But this is no ghost town: these are the well-tended properties of 115 hermandades (brotherhoods), whose pilgrims converge on the town every Pentecost (Whitsunday) weekend for the Romería del Rocío, Spain’s largest religious festival. And at most weekends, the hermandades arrive in a flurry of festive fun for other ceremonies.
Beyond its uniquely exotic ambience, El Rocío impresses with its striking setting in front of luminous Doñana marismas (wetlands), where herds of deer drink at dawn and, at certain times of year, pink flocks of flamingos gather in massive numbers.
First and foremost El Roccio is a place of Catholic religious pilgrimage as only the Spaniards can do, a nation that turns religion into a party. Secondly traditional Andalucian dress and love of horses and horse drawn carriages bring it all back to bygone days . Thirdly the Spanish Devotion to The Blessed Virgin Mary is particularly strong and very public, not at all subtle.
All of these combine to make a place that is unique and somewhat special and not at all like the cowboy town that some refer to El Roccio as, more a genuine place of traditional religious pilgrimage.
The reflective glass building, originally designed by Philip Johnson/John Burgee Architects, seats 2,248 people.[1][2] After its completion in 1981, it was described as "the largest glass building in the world".[3] The building has one of the largest musical instruments in the world, the Hazel Wright Organ.[4][5]
From its opening in 1981 until 2013, the building was home of Crystal Cathedral Ministries, a congregation of the Reformed Church in America that was founded in 1955 by Robert H. Schuller. The ministry's weekly television program, Hour of Power, was broadcast from the church. After filing for bankruptcy protection, Crystal Cathedral Ministries sold the building and its adjacent campus to the Diocese of Orange in February 2012 for $57.5 million.
After a two-year renovation of the cathedral to convert it to Catholic liturgy, the building was consecrated as Christ Cathedral—the seat of the Diocese of Orange—on July 17, 2019 Robert H. Schuller and his wife Arvella Schuller founded the Garden Grove Community Church in 1955.[6] A member of the Protestant Reformed Church in America, the congregation first held services at the Orange Drive-In Theatre in Orange, California. The congregants would sit in their cars while Robert Schuller delivered his sermon from the top of the concession stand. He also rented a 300-seat former Baptist church in a different location for those who wanted inside seating.[7]
To accommodate the growth of their congregation, in 1958 the Schullers bought 10 acres in Garden Grove for a larger combination drive-in/sit-in church. Designed by architect Richard Neutra, the new church opened in 1961.[8] In 1968, the Schullers opened the 13-story Tower of Hope building on the campus for classrooms and office space. It was topped with a large illuminated cross.
The rapid growth of the congregation soon outstripped the capacity of their current church. Schuller then commissioned Philip Johnson and John Burgee to design a church with a seating capacity of 2,248 worshipers on the Garden Grove campus. The congregation began construction of the Crystal Cathedral in 1977; it was completed in 1980 at a cost of $18 million (equivalent to $69 million in 2024). It was 415 feet long by 215 feet wide, with a height of 128 feet. It was topped by a beacon for aircraft.[9] The architects designed the church to withstand a magnitude 8.0 earthquake. The 10,000 rectangular panes of glass on the building were reflective on the outside and transparent on the inside. They were attached to the framework with a silicone-based glue to mitigate earthquake damage. No crystal glass was used in its construction. The building featured 52-bell carillon. It also had an underground chapel with a revolving crystal cross.[9][10]
The opening gala for the Crystal Cathedral was held on May 14, 1980, with 3,000 guests paying $1,500 each. The gala included a recital of music by Vivaldi, Schubert, and Rossini, with the operatic singer Beverly Sills performing solos.[11]
After moving into the new sanctuary in 1981, the congregation changed its name to Crystal Ministries.[10] The $5.5 million stainless steel prayer spire was constructed in 1991. The Crystal Cathedral became the new venue for Robert Schuller's Hour of Power television broadcasts on Sunday mornings. These broadcasts regularly reached a worldwide audience of 20 million viewers.[12] In a 2011 Los Angeles Times article, Bishop Tod Brown mentioned that, over the years, foreign priests visiting the Diocese of Orange invariably asked to visit the Crystal Cathedral.[13]. By early 2010, Crystal Cathedral Ministries was in deep financial trouble due to high costs and reduced contributions resulting from the Great Recession of 2007 to 2009. It was facing multiple lawsuits from unpaid creditors, with one board member estimating that they were $55 million in debt. It was also facing a contentious transition from the leadership of Robert and Avella Schueller.[1. The ministries' board filed for bankruptcy protection on October 18, 2010, citing $43 million in debt, including a $36 million mortgage. Ministries officials tried to negotiate a payment plan with their creditors. However, after receiving several lawsuits and writs of attachment, the Crystal Cathedral Ministries was forced to file for bankruptcy.[16] After the filing, the ministries received offers for the Crystal Cathedral campus from a real estate investment group and Chapman University in Orange. Chapman offered $59 million for the campus, planning to use it for health sciences studies and possibly a medical school.[17]
On July 7, 2011, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange announced that it was "potentially interested" in purchasing the Crystal Cathedral campus.[18] The diocese had purchased land in Santa Ana to build a new cathedral (having outgrown the Holy Family Cathedral in Orange), but found that it would be more cost-effective to renovate and repurpose the Crystal Cathedral campus and its buildings instead, and that Garden Grove was a more accessible location within the diocese than Santa Ana.[18] The diocese made an initial offer of $50 million for the property, then increased it to $53.6 million.[18] The diocese also offered to let Crystal Cathedral Ministries lease an "alternative worship space of at least 50,000 square feet" on the campus for up to 15 years.[19]
Sheila Colman, the new director of the ministries, accepted this offer. The ministries' board originally planned to accept the higher offer from Chapman, but expressed a desire for the property to remain a religious institution.[20] On November 17, 2011, Bankruptcy Court Judge Robert N. Kwan approved the sale of the Crystal Cathedral to the Diocese of Orange for $57.5 million (equivalent to $80 million in 2024).[20][21]
Days after the sale was approved, the Italian newspaper La Stampa published a report that Pope Benedict XVI was forming a new Vatican commission to investigate irregularly-designed churches and cathedrals that "remind people of anything but the mystery and sacredness of a church", such as designs with "glass boxes" and "crazy shapes"; the article was illustrated with a photograph of the Crystal Cathedral.[22][23] Ultimately, this did not prove to be an issue; two weeks after the sale was approved, Bishop Brown secured approval from the Vatican to transfer the diocese to the campus. The Crystal Cathedral sale was finalized on February 3, 2012. The diocese then transferred the St. Callistus parish to the old Garden Grove church on the Cathedral campus, renaming it Christ Cathedral Parish.[25][26] The campus cemetery was immediately transferred to the diocese, which quickly moved its offices into the other campus buildings.[26] Bishop Brown stated the diocese planned to renovate the cathedral's interior after Crystal Cathedral Ministries moved out, while maintaining the "iconic personality" of its architecture.[27]
On June 9, 2012, the diocese announced that the building would be renamed "Christ Cathedral",[28] with the Reverend Christopher Smith serving as its first rector and episcopal vicar.[29] The name was chosen with input from the diocese and its members, and approved by the Vatican.[30] In October 2012, before the property transfer, the diocese held its first event at the cathedral, the 7th Orange County Catholic Prayer Breakfast [31] The Christ Cathedral Parish would continue until June 2013 to celebrate Masses and other liturgies at the old Garden Grove church, now known as the Arboretum.
Crystal Cathedral Ministries held its final worship service at the Crystal Cathedral on June 30, 2013.[32] They held their next service at the former St. Callistus Church on July 7, 2013.[33] The congregation, now much reduced, moved in 2018 to another facility, which it named Shepherd's Grove, in Irvine, California.[34] The St. Callistus Catholic School moved into the former Crystal Cathedral Academy facility, changing its name to Christ Cathedral Academy, in September 2013.[35] Robert Schuller died in 2015; his funeral service was conducted outside the cathedral.[12]
Renovations
edit
In November 2013, the Crystal Cathedral was closed to the public in preparation for a multi-year renovation of the building.[36][1] William J. Woeger of the De La Salle Brothers was appointed as the principal liturgical consultant,[37] Los Angeles-based design firm Johnson Fain was hired as architect, and the Irvine-based Snyder Langston served as general contractor.[38][39] The diocese unveiled renderings of Christ Cathedral in September 2014; the renovations aimed to make it suitable for the Catholic liturgy (including the construction of a sanctuary, ciborium, and altar) while preserving the structure's architectural qualities.[36]
The cathedral's glass walls had created long-standing issues with heat, glare, and acoustics;[40] the Diocese of Orange's vice president of philanthropy Tony Jennison noted that "you could see people fanning themselves and even wearing sunglasses on Hour of Power". To alleviate these issues, the glass walls were lined with angled quatrefoils—referred to as "petals"—to deflect heat and create shade. Lights would also be installed on the petals to illuminate the building and its exterior at night, creating an effect described as a "box of stars" that can be seen from afar.[41] Along with the change in liturgy, the cathedral underwent seismic retrofitting, its 20 foot (6.1 m) glass doors were replaced with bronze doors, and air conditioning was installed in the Arboretum.[42][41] The Hazel Wright Organ was disassembled and shipped back to Italy for an extensive, $2 million restoration.[43][36][44]
On the campus, crape myrtle trees were planted along the path from the parking lot to the cathedral plazas; they were described as symbolizing the "beginning" of holiness as parishioners walk towards the altar, and by principal architect Frank Clementi as being akin to a "sacred heat map".[40][44] To honor Schuller's legacy, the biblical sculptures he had commissioned for the property were retained, and plans were announced for a legacy garden that would display some of the sculptures, and include a wall inscribed with the names of Crystal Cathedral donors who were originally inscribed on stones along its "Walk of Faith" (which were removed as part of landscaping work).[45]
Construction began in June 2017, with the diocese expecting the renovations to be completed by late-2018.[46][47] To fund the renovations, the diocese first allocated $59 million in proceeds from its 2011 "For Christ Forever" fundraising campaign. In 2014, an anonymous benefactor contributed $20 million in additional funding.[46] It was later determined that the diocese reached its cost estimates for the project without "serious study or professional recommendations"; in 2016, the diocese revised the estimated cost of the project to $108 million. To achieve cost savings, the diocese opted to use a locally-sourced marble veneer instead of solid marble from Italy, and worked to keep more of the building's "bones" intact. This lowered the project's overall cost to $72 million.[48]
Rededication and reopening
edit
On June 29, 2018, Bishop of Orange Kevin Vann proclaimed a "holy year of preparation" ahead of the solemn dedication of the cathedral.[49] On October 13, 2018, the quatrefoils were blessed and officially illuminated for the first time.[41] The altar was installed in December 2018; the first-class relics placed in its reliquary are meant to reflect the ethnic diversity of Orange County's Catholic community, including relics connected to Vietnamese saint and martyr Andrew Dũng-Lạc, the eight Canadian Martyrs, the Spanish missionary Junípero Serra, Korean saint Andrew Kim Taegon, and Mexican bishop Rafael Guízar y Valencia.[42][50]
A formal celebration event and concert by the Pacific Symphony was held at the cathedral on July 13, 2019.[51] On July 17, 2019, the diocese held a Mass to formally rededicate the building as Christ Cathedral.[52][53] The diocese opened the shrine of Our Lady of La Vang on the cathedral campus in 2021. The shrine includes a 12-foot-tall (3.7 m) statue of the Virgin Mary capped by a spiraling canopy.[54] The St. Callistus Chapel and Crypts—situated in the building's basement—was completed in October 2024 and dedicated by Bishop Vann on October 14, 2024; this event marked the formal completion of the Christ Cathedral renovation project. Christ Cathedral is home to the Hazel Wright Organ, the fifth largest pipe organ in the world,[5] It was constructed by the firm Fratelli Ruffatti in Padua, Italy, based on specifications provided by the organists Virgil Fox and Frederick Swann. Swann served as the organist at the Crystal Cathedral from 1982 to 1998. The Hazel Wright Organ has 273 ranks and five manuals. It incorporates the large Aeolian-Skinner pipe organ built in 1962 for New York's Philharmonic Hall along with the smaller Ruffatti organ that was installed in the original Garden Grove church.[5]
In 2013, the diocese dismantled the Hazel Wright Organ and shipped it back to Fratelli Ruffatti for a $2 million refurbishing. As part of the remodeled interior, the organ was also repainted white so that it would not draw attention away from the altar.[57][36][34] It was reinstalled in Christ Cathedral in early 2020. However, the COVID-19 pandemic delayed the re-voicing of the organ until late 2021. The organ restoration was completed on February 7, 2022. A re-dedication concert featuring organist Hector Olivera was held on September 30, 2022.[58]

Kärntner Straße
This article describes the Kärntner Strasse in Vienna. On the same country road see Kärntner Straße (Austria).
Kärntnerstraße with Opera (left) and St. Stephen's Cathedral (by clicking at the end of the site on the link you can see the pictures)
The northern part of the Carinthian road
Kärntner Straße is next to ditch (Graben) one of the most famous streets in Vienna's city center. It starts at Karlsplatz or the Friedrichstrasse and bypasses the Vienna State Opera, continues straight to the center of Vienna, Stephansplatz. Where the pedestrian zone is continued in a westerly direction from the ditch. In northeastern direction it is connecting after the Stephansplatz with the Red Tower road (Rotenturmstraße) that leads up to the Danube Canal.
History
Just between 1878-1909 existent: The Kärntnerhof-Passage instead of the hotel Astoria today (No. 32)
The Carinthian road already existed at the time of the Romans in Vienna. In the Middle Ages it was in 1257 first documented as "Strata Carinthianorum" and linking the city center with the Carinthian Gate of the city wall (near the present opera), its extension was at that time an important connection to the port cities such as Venice and Trieste. There are to be found various spellings, in 1563: "Cärnerstrass", 1566: "Khärnerstrass" about 1567 "Khärnnerstrassen", "Kahrnerstrass", 1587: "Kärnerstras", 1749 "Karnerstrasse".
About 1968, still without pedestrian zone
In the period of promoterism (Gründerzeit) and the later 19th Century it was widened and heavily remodeled. The Carinthian Court, a representative Passagenbau (passage building) erected in 1878 by the architect Otto Thienemann was, for example, 1909/10 torn down and replaced by the Hotel Astoria. In 1945 the Carinthian road was severely affected, which subsequently led to numerous renovations and new buildings. Also due to the here traditionally high economic activity, however, there are permanently transformations.
In 1974, the Carinthian road between Opera and Stephansplatz was by the architects Wilhelm Holzbauer and Wolfgang Windbrechtinger transformed to a pedestrian zone (opening 6th August 1974), which is bordered by numerous stores with raised price levels, such as, for example, Glashaus J. & L. Lobmeyer which was founded in 1823 and several cafes. The Carinthian road forms together with the trench (Graben) and the carbon market (Kohlmarkt), the so-called "Golden U" on traditional downtown shopping streets disposing of a superior offer and designed as pedestrian zones. Below the road is the metro line U1 . Today the road is mainly frequented by tourists. 2009, the pedestrian zone was redesigned, which in the run-up of the activities led to controversy - especially over the originally planned, modern lighting fixtures.
A new focus was added in 2011 with a major department store, the flagship store (Weltstadthaus).

Apparently once described by Time Out as âthe best thing that has happened to Vauxhall - possibly everâ, COUNTER is definitely one of my favourite places in the area. A bar and brasserie restaurant living under one of the railway arches, COUNTER combines the fun, offbeat and slightly eccentric industrial vibe of New Yorkâs Meat Packing District with the familiar gritty surroundings of Vauxhall (which has always been great, yâall naysayers be damned!). Its front entrance is mere yards from the tube and train exits, though due to the somewhat labyrinthine and busy structure of the tunnels/street, it is harder to find than you may expect. Look out for the orange graffiti mural out front.
COUNTER claims to be Londonâs longest restaurant (Iâm not sure if they have verified this or not, but it is 60m in length!), and is divided into two halves. One side is the restaurant/bar proper, and the other side you shall find BackCounter - which is a cocktail lounge and event space. I spent most of my time in the restaurant area, testing out their food (which was quite a bit better than I expected) - they passed the 'blue steak test' with flying colours! The food on the main part a mix of American (those New York influences again) and French - for some reason. Drinks: some interesting craft beers, plus French and American wines (like the food, ONLY French and American choices to be had here - and nothing too expensive either). Thereâs also a reasonable selection of cocktails, many of which making reference to the local area (think: âVauxhall Slingâ). The bar is pretty cool too, all shiny brass running straight down the middle, mirror-adorned walls and secluded, comfortable booths.
Philip Reicherstorfer, the owner, is a happy German guy and Vauxhall resident - formerly in banking but raised in a hotelier family (he told me that because of this he knew heâd always come back to food). His vision for the place combines the lightheartedness of the gay scene with high quality food, and towards this end he managed to get Dan Blucert, ex head chef of The Big Easy in Covent Garden. You probably donât think of Vauxhall as much of a place to go for restaurants but COUNTER could and hopefully will have a part in reversing this trend. Iâd rate the overall experience as 8-9 out of 10 and am recommending it to all and sundry! Very well done COUNTER, hope to see you soon ^_^
Describe the Structure of an Atom The atomic structure was first described by scientists John Joseph Thomson and Ernest in 1900. This model of atom is still used as basis of modern atomic theory. Atoms are nothing but basic building blocks of matter, which has mass and takes up space. All the matter is made up of atoms. The word atom is obtained from Greek and is indivisible.

"Green Grass"
By Tom Waites
Lay your head where my heart used to be
Hold the earth above me
Lay down in the green grass
Remember when you loved me
Come closer don't be shy
Stand beneath a rainy sky
The moon is over the rise
Think of me as a train goes by
Clear the thistles and brambles
Whistle 'Didn't He Ramble'
Now there's a bubble of me
And it's floating in thee
Stand in the shade of me
Things are now made of me
The weather vane will say...
It smells like rain today
God took the stars and he tossed 'em
Can't tell the birds from the blossoms
You'll never be free of me
He'll make a tree from me
Don't say good bye to me
Describe the sky to me
And if the sky falls, mark my words
We'll catch mocking birds
Lay your head where my heart used to be
Hold the earth above me
Lay down in the green grass
Remember when you loved me

How would you describe your WSSU experience?
Amazingly interesting. From the people that I’ve met to the different experiences that I’ve had to the situations that I’ve been in and witnessed. But I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything.
What were some of your favorite parts of your college experience?
Connecting with like minded individuals, meeting new types of people, gaining life long friends, and unforgettable experiences.
Have you engaged in internships, research projects, study abroad, student leadership, community outreach, or other experiences that are enhancing your time at WSSU?
I participated in research during my first two years and summers at WSSU and then I had an internship Nationwide during my third summer. I also experienced student leadership and community outreach through Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. as I was Chapter President for an organization known for its service.
Did you face any obstacles while pursuing your degree?
The biggest obstacle was definitely speaking to people. I’ve never been the most outgoing person, and I’m still not, but I have come so far from when I first arrived at Winston.
What are your plans after graduation?
I’m honestly still trying to decide this myself. I’ve had a lot of good opportunities present themselves to me but what I’m leaning more towards right now is attending graduate school at A&T where I’ve been accepted into the Masters and PhD programs for Computer Science.
Are there any particular faculty, coaches, mentors, or staff that made a difference in your life?
I’ve had a lot who have definitely impacted me whether they know it or not. Of course my department chair, Dr. Elva Jones. The first professor I connected with and fraternity brother, Dr. Frederick Roundtree. My research mentor, Dr. Mustafa Atay. One of my favorite professors, someone I can always come talk to, and sor
