Come for the latkes, come for the music, but most of all, come for the fun of the biggest holiday bash in town. This is Latke Vodka, hosted by Federation’s NEXTGen Detroit on the Saturday night following Thanksgiving.
Now in its ninth year, Latke Vodka returns to the Royal Oak Music Theatre, on November 30th from 9 p.m. to 2. a.m. The headlining band, Collision Six, will provide a full evening of entertainment – with a full bar, delicious latkes and other kosher holiday fare.
Tanzanite is not a gemstone that many people are aware of, which is sad because its rich and velvety royal blue color can put many other precious stones to shame, more so because of its unbelievable price. Tanzanite does resemble sapphire but has almost surpassed the blue gemstone in popularity,...

It was a stormy, cold and slight rainy day. In short, a perfect day for a visit in the Antelope Island State Park in the Great Salt Lake, Utah.
There were no other people but a lot of wild Animals in the middle of a rough and beautiful landscape. A great trip!
Antelope Island State Park is a Utah state park on Antelope Island in the Great Salt Lake. The 28,800-acre (11,700 ha) park is in Davis County, Utah in the United States. It is open for year-round recreation and features an abundant wildlife population, including one of the largest free roaming herds of American Bison in the U.S. An effort to reintroduce Pronghorn to the park has been a success. Other animals at the park include Bighorn Sheep, Mule Deer and a wide variety of waterfowl, wading birds and small mammals and reptiles. The park, at an elevation of 5,308 feet (1,618 m), was established in 1969 when the northern portions of the island were designated as a state park. The Fielding Garr Ranch on the southern end of the island was added to the state park lands in 1981.

Diócesis de Astorga
La Basílica de La Encina es un templo cristiano situado en la localidad española de Ponferrada, en la comarca de El Bierzo, provincia de León, comunidad autónoma de Castilla y León
La antigua iglesia medieval de Santa María, erigida a finales del siglo XII, disponía de cinco altares, cuyos titulares eran Santa María (el mayor), San Pedro, Santa Catalina, Santo Domingo y Santiago. Tenía un campanario de cuatro campanas. Toda la iglesia fue muy criticada, alegando que era pequeña, mal edificada, indecente... Por esto, en 1567, el provisor del Obispado de Astorga permitió a la villa la construcción de una nueva iglesia. Poco después, mandó su edificación.
Las obras comenzaron en 1573, pero no se terminaría hasta finales del siglo XVII, porque las obras se tuvieron que paralizar por varios motivos, como cuando a finales del XIV y principios del XV la peste asoló el interior de la Península Ibérica. Por esto, también se cambiarán sus trazas y condiciones.
Estilísticamente, es deudora de los modelos trasmeranos, pese a los cambios operados en ella. Se podría decir que es una síntesis entre el renacimiento tardogótico y el clasicismo trasmerano (XVI-XVII), e incluso el barroco gallego (XVIII). La iglesia se realizó en varias fases:
1573-1593: Se construyeron únicamente la capilla Mayor y el crucero.
1593-1612: Fue una época de problemas para Ponferrada, por la falta de dinero.
1612-1648: Pedro Álvarez de la Torre realizó unos nuevos planos, remató el crucero y estableció las trazas para la edificación de la torre. Sin embargo, la falta de dinero prohibió su construcción, pudiéndose construir únicamente los cimientos.
1648-1670: Fue Juan Bautista de Velasco quien retomó las obras. Realizó unos nuevos planos en los que sustituyó la planta de cruz latina por una de tres naves. Entonces, fue Lucas de Ligar quien prosiguió, olvidándose de los planos de Bautista, aplicando unos muy parecidos a los de Álvarez de la Torre.
Barroco: Ya se consideraba la obra finalizada, aunque sufrió algunos cambios. El chapitel de la torre fue destruido por un rayo, teniéndose que reparar la parte superior de ésta, que fue realizada en estilo barroco, en contraste con la parte inferior, en estilo renacentista.
Custodia en su interior la imagen de la Virgen de La Encina, Patrona de El Bierzo.
El deseo de celebrar los oficios divinos con la misma pompa que en las catedrales, hizo establecerse, en las ciudades o villas, que no eran sedes episcopales, iglesias colegiatas con cabildos de canónigos que vivían en comunidad y bajo una regla.
Aunque la creación de una colegiata era competencia del obispo respectivo, en la práctica solo el Papa podía convertir una iglesia en colegiata, siendo necesarios una serie de requisitos tanto en la tipología de la iglesia como en el contexto geográfico, demográfico y económico que si reunía Ponferrada y El Bierzo.
La ocasión para pedir la conversión en colegiata, la ofreció la curación milagrosa de María Manuela de Mendoza en el mes de noviembre de 1706 que volvería a recaer para volver a ser curada en el mes de julio de 1707.
Para convertirla en colegiata se presentan tanto la historia de como se descubrió la Virgen de La Encina, así como la evolución de la villa de Ponferrada, el número de prebendados, canónigos, capellanes, músicos y demás ministros, la devoción de la villa (que en la celebración de una misa ordenada por el Rey a raíz del milagro de la curación de María Manuela conllevo que la iglesia y todas las calles y plazas adyacentes estuviesen abarrotadas), la devoción de los curas de las distintas iglesias y conventos de Ponferrada que celebraban, según el informe, más misas que en la catedral más numerosa de España en su altar. También se describe la calidad de la construcción y los adornos de la imagen de la Virgen de La Encina.
A pesar de todos los esfuerzo se deniega la conversión en colegita esgrimiendose la pérdida del informe, presentado el 6 de mayo de 1720, debido a la guerra en un primer caso y posteriormente se deniega una nueva petición, cursada el 21 de octubre de 1725, alegando que que falta el consentimiento de la villa de Ponferrada, del obispo y del cabildo para la anexión de sus curatos a la nueva colegiata, denegándose el 12 de junio de 1731 por parte del fiscal.
For those of you that guessed Turk & Fillmore Streets, you are correct! This image was taken by the URR Photographer, John Henry Mentz (Harry) of the United Railroads Turk & Fillmore St Sub-Station on November 11, 1907. The wrought iron arches were put up to enhance the Fillmore St as a shopping district, they also lit up the intersections at night. The arches were taken down in 1942 to be used as scrap metal for WWII. Check out this image and others at street level on our Historypin channel at www.historypin.com/sfmta
Prospect Cottage in Dungeness, East Sussex, a different prospective, hope you approve Paddy!
Derek Jarman's Cottage: Derek Jarman was an English film director, stage designer, artist, and writer.
Jarman's work broke new ground in creating and expanding the fledgling form of 'the pop video' in England, and as a forthright and prominent gay rights activist. Several volumes of his diaries have been published.
Jarman also directed the 1989 tour by the UK duo Pet Shop Boys. By pop concert standards this was a highly theatrical event with costume and specially shot films accompanying the individual songs. Jarman was the stage director of Sylvano Bussotti's opera L'Ispirazione, first staged in Florence in 1998.
He is also remembered for his famous shingle cottage-garden, created in the latter years of his life, in the shadow of the Dungeness power station. The house was built in tarred timber. Raised wooden text on the side of the cottage is the first stanza and the last five lines of the last stanza of John Donne's poem, The Sun Rising. The cottage's beach garden was made using local materials and has been the subject of several books. At this time, Jarman also began painting again (see the book: Evil Queen: The Last Paintings, 1994).
Jarman was the author of several books including his autobiography Dancing Ledge, a collection of poetry A Finger in the Fishes Mouth, two volumes of diaries Modern Nature and Smiling In Slow Motion and two treatises on his work in film and art The Last of England (also published as Kicking the Pricks) and Chroma. Other notable published works include film scripts (Up in the Air, Blue, War Requiem, Caravaggio, Queer Edward II and Wittgenstein: The Terry Eagleton Script/The Derek Jarman Film), a study of his garden at Dungeness Derek Jarman's Garden, and At Your Own Risk, a defiant celebration of gay sexuality.
Noted for its cheeky and troublesome nature this kea gives me the well known, innocent "eye". Fortunately I wasn't staying long enough to give it an opportunity to get into mischief.

From the plaque below the blended winglet exhibit:
The Future Is On The Wing
This Blended Winglet was test flown on a Boeing 747-200 in 2000 to prove the viability of Blended Winglets for big transport aircraft.
Blended Winglets are gracefully curved wingtip extensions that measurably enhances the aerodynamic efficiencies, flight characteristics and environmental benefits of corporate and commercial aircraft.
Aviation Partners of Seattle introduced the patented Blended Winglets in 1991. They are now flying on airliners and corporate jets worldwide saving fuel and protecting the environment.
The Museum of Flight is grateful to Aviation Partners, Inc. and Aviation Partners Boeing for their enormous contribution to the world of flight and aerospace.

Venture for America got some interesting proposals for crowdfunding competition. Have a look:
1. Al-Dente by Simple Kitchen
When Swad Komanduri’s father was diagnosed with type-2 diabetes, he sought to find alternative dietary options that wouldn’t deprive him of the rice-bound dishes traditionally served in their Indian, vegetarian home. Swad ultimately found that rice cooked al-dente style (a process characterized by preparing pasta and grains in excess water) had 25 percent fewer calories than rice cooked in a rice cooker. This led him to create Al-Dente -- a kitchen appliance that automates the draining of water during cooking, providing the convenience of rice cookers with the health benefits of al-dente cooking. Good thing Swad went to Caltech!
Swad’s already hit 80 percent of his fundraising goal on Indiegogo. With a little help, he can empower other health-conscious families to enjoy the meals they grew up on -- and then some.
2. Bikes ORO
Chelsea Koglmeier was a triathlete at Duke. She loves bikes, and she wants more people to have one, particularly in underserved regions. Enter Bikes ORO (Of Reckless Optimism). Designed after the infamous Flying Machine model, Bikes ORO creates chain-free, lightweight, cost-effective bikes for everyday use. They then donate 15 percent of the profit from each bike to organizations intent on providing bike access to underprivileged people in under-serviced regions. Exciting stuff, right? World Bicycle Relief seems to think so.
Chelsea and Bikes ORO and have already raised $23,000 -- roughly 50 percent of their crowd funding goal -- which is enough to get a bunch of people a new set of wheels they’re going to love. Chelsea is definitely going places, literally and figuratively.
3. The Redge
Leigh Sevin and Jinesh Shah were always getting gifts that they didn’t really want. Awkward! They founded The Redge so that they could have a wish list of what they really wanted that they could easily share with, say, their aunts and uncles. Think of it as an online personal shopping cart you can throw things into and show other people when your birthday rolls around.
They set a new stretch goal after they roared past their original crowdfunding goal by a mile -- it seems like a lot of people are getting gifts they don’t want. Maybe Leigh and Jinesh will change that in a little while.
Other Fellow projects include a mentor network for women, a card game that spurs profound conversations, a way to make your phone alarm ring from across the room and other fascinating ideas that give you a sense of what the world would look like if young people could bring their visions to reality. They’re all great ideas. More importantly, the Fellows are working hard to make them real.

Chillenden is best known for the white clapboard post mill, which is about half a mile above the village.
I came here via Goodnestone, and on the map it looked like an easy journey of a couple of miles. As it turned out the network of narrow lanes made it more difficult, but I knew where the mill was, so made my way there, then down into the village which is stretched along a sunken lane, the church being opposite the village pub.
All Saints is a small church, similar to Harty and Stodmarsh, with a sturdy wooden fram holding the small tower and spire up.
Some nice victorian tiles and ancient glass in the window, but just fragments.
------------------------------------------
Chillenden comes from the Old English ‘denu’ meaning a ‘valley’ combined with a personal name; therefore, ‘Ciolla’s valley’. The Domesday Book records Chillenden as Cilledene.
Chillenden parish church is a Grade: II listed building, dedicated to All Saints. The Normans built the church in the 12th century with additions in the 14th and 15th centuries. In 1800, Edward Hasted described the Chillenden church as ‘antient, it is a mean building, very small, having a square tower at the west end, in which there is only one bell. It consists of a body, and one chancel. In the windows are remains of very handsome painted glass. There is a handsome zig-zag moulding, and circular arch over the north door. There is likewise a circular arch, but plainer than the other, over the south door’. The architect Sir George Gilbert Scott sensitively restored the church in 1871.

CHILLENDEN,
WRITTEN in the survey of Domesday, Cilledene, lies the next parish westward from Knolton, taking its name from its cold and low situation. The manors of Knolton and Woodnesborough claim over part of this parish, as does the manor of Adisham over another part of it. A borsholder is appointed for this parish by the justices, at their petty sessions for this division of the lath of St. Augustine.
THE PARISH of Chillenden lies dry and healthy, but it is not very pleasantly situated, though surrounded by other parishes which are remarkably so; it is very small, containing only one hundred and sixty acres, and the whole rents in it amount to little more than 250l. per annum. There are three farms in it, one belonging to Mr. Hammond, and the other two to Sir Brook Bridges, bart. It lies low in a bottom, the high road from Canterbury to Deal leads through the village called Chillenden-street, which consists of twenty two houses; on the south side stands the church. The soil is chalky and poor, and the lands, which are arable, are open and uninclosed. A fair is held here on WhitMonday, for pedlary, &c.
THIS PLACE, at the time of taking the survey of Domesday, was part of the possessions of Odo, bishop of Baieux, under the general title of whose lands it is entered in it as follows:
Osbern (son of Letard) holds of the bishop Cilledene. It was taxed at one suling and one yoke and ten acres. The arable land is . . . . In demesne there is nothing now, but nine villeins have there two carucates and an half. In the time of king Edward the Consessor it was worth sixty shillings, and afterwards thirty shillings, now forty shillings. Godwin held it of king Edward, and five other Thanes. Thomas Osbern put three of their lands into one manor.
Four years after the taking of this survey, this estate, on the bishop's disgrace and the consiscation of his estates, came into the hands of the crown.
After which it came into the possession of a family, who took their surname from it, and there is mention made in deeds, which are as antient as the reign of king Henry III. of John de Chillenden, Edward and William de Chillenden, who had an interest in this place; after this name was become extinct here, the Bakers, of Caldham, in Capel, near Folkestone, possessed it, in whom this manor continued till king Henry VI.'s reign, when it passed by sale to Hunt, whose descendants remained entitled to it for two or three descents, when one of them alienated it to Gason, of Apulton, in Ickham. (fn. 1) They bore for their arms, Azure, a fess cotized, ermine, between three goats heads, couped, argent; which coat was granted anno 39 king Henry VIII. (fn. 1) in which name it continued for some time, and till it was at length sold to Hammond, of St. Alban's, in Nonington, in whose descendants it has continued down to William Hammond, esq. of St. Alban's, who is the present owner of this manor.
This estate pays a quit rent to Adisham manor, of which it is held. It has no manerial rights, and it is much doubted, if it had ever any claim, beyond the reputation of a manor.
There are no parochial charities. The poor constantly relieved are about sixteen, casually six.
THIS PARISH is within the ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION of the diocese of Canterbury, and deanry of Bridge.
The church, which is dedicated to All Saints, seems antient, it is a mean building, very small, having a square tower at the west end, in which there is only one bell. It consists of a body, and one chancel. In the windows are remains of very handsome painted glass. There is a handsome zig-zag moulding, and circular arch over the north door. There is likewise a circular arch, but plainer than the other, over the south door. It has nothing further worth mention in it.
¶This church was part of the possessions of the priory of Ledes, being given to it by William de Northwic, about the latter end of king Henry II.'s reign; (fn. 2) but the prior and convent never obtained the appropriation of it, but contented themselves with a pension of eight shillings yearly from it; in which state it continued till the dissolution of the priory in the 31st year of king Henry VIII's reign, when the advowson, together with the above pension, came with the rest of the possession of the priory, into the hands of the crown, in which the patronage of this church continues at this time. But the annual pension of eight shillings was soon afterwards settled by the king in his 33d year, among other premises, on his new-founded dean and chapter of Rochester, part of whose possessions it still continues.
This rectory is valued in the king's books at five pounds. It is now a discharged living, and is of about the clear yearly value of twenty six pounds. In 1588 it was valued at forty pounds, communicants seventyseven. In 1640 it was valued at the same, communicants seventy.
There are three acres of glebe. The present incumbent has built a tolerable good parsonage-house on the scite of the antient one. There is no land within this parish exempt from the payment of tithe.
