The church Mary Help/Rescue (Mariahilfkirche) in the Styrian capital of Graz is a pilgrimage church and parish church of the parish Graz-Mariahilf in the deanery Graz-Center of the church administration Stadtkirche Graz. Attached to the church is the Minorite convent Graz.
History and design
In the 13th century settled monks of founded by St. Francis of Assisi Order of Minors in Graz at the place of today's Franciscan monastery, to which they had to cede in 1515 the square. After having spent many years provisionally, they were finally able after a donation by the princes of Eggenberg and Emperor Ferdinand II to settle at today's Mariahilf sqaure (now Lend district). The built in 1607 in Baroque style church, designed by Giovanni Pietro de Pomis, a pupil of Tintoretto, was completed in 1611. He built a towerless church according to Venetian models, which was closed towards the top with a triangular pediment in the manner of classical temple fronts. Through a conversion to plans by Josef Hueber the Church 1742-1744 received its present form with the two towers. Since 1783, the church serves as a parish church.
The gable above the church portal crowns today a Baroque statue of Archangel Michael which abuts Lucifer to hell. The other figures of the portal laterally above the middle door are the religious saints Francis of Assisi and Anthony of Padua and above the door the Virgin Mary.
The interior of the church looks plain and sober. The large dome over the presbytery was as well as the stucco decoration in 1769 removed. The thereafter by Josef Adam Molk created frescoes have also been removed (after not quite 100 years) and gave way to today's simple design. The image of the Virgin Mary on the high altar is considered a painterly masterpiece of Pietro de Pomis.
The sacristy, built 1636/37, has rich stucco ornaments (Johann Cajetan Androy attributed) and pews of the Regency style, at the sacristy is also located the chapel Bonaventurakapelle (Baptistery of St. Bonaventura, Triebenegg'sche crypt chapel), built from 1635 to 1640, with stucco in auricular style of Mathias Camin, Master of Mariazell, and a high Baroque altar in scagliola.
South of the church is the cloister of the Minorite monastery, which is followed by the treasury chapel. This one was created 1769-71 to accommodate votive offerings of pilgrims, but none of which have survived. It shows itself consistently late Baroque, the facilities, especially the altarpiece, is from the period of origin, walls and vault lunette caps adorn miracle scenes in tone-in-tone painting by Joseph Adam Knight of Mölk (1773)
Through another courtyard one accesses via a representative staircase the former summer refectory (the Minoritensaal), one of the most beautiful secular Baroque rooms in Graz.
Current use
To date, the monastery premises are inhabited by Friars Minor. The monastery houses also the Cultural Center with the Minorites, in which take place events in the fields of music, literature and visual arts.
In addition take place in the treasury chapel of the monastery services of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, a Rome-united church, and the Russian Orthodox church of Mary Protection in Graz as an ecumenical accommodation.
Interior and exterior of Mariahilferkirche in recent years have been skilfully restored.
Die Kirche Mariahilf (Mariahilfkirche) in der steirischen Landeshauptstadt Graz ist eine Wallfahrtskirche und Pfarrkirche der Pfarre Graz-Mariahilf im Dekanat Graz-Mitte der Stadtkirche Graz. An die Kirche angeschlossen ist das Minoritenkonvent Graz.
Geschichte und Gestaltung
Im 13. Jahrhundert siedelten sich Mönche des von Franz von Assisi gegründeten Minoritenordens in Graz am Platz des heutigen Franziskanerklosters an, an die sie den Platz 1515 abtreten mussten. Nach vielen provisorisch zugebrachten Jahren konnten sie sich schließlich nach einer Schenkung des Fürsten von Eggenberg und Kaiser Ferdinands II. am heutigen Mariahilfer Platz (im heutigen Bezirk Lend) ansiedeln. Die 1607 nach Plänen von Giovanni Pietro de Pomis, einem Schüler Tintorettos, in barockem Stil erbaute Kirche war 1611 fertiggestellt. Er errichtete eine nach venezianischen Vorbildern gestaltete turmlose Kirche, die nach oben mit einem Dreiecksgiebel in der Art klassischer Tempelfronten abgeschlossen war. Durch einen Umbau nach Plänen von Josef Hueber erhielt die Kirche 1742–1744 die heutige Gestalt mit den beiden Türmen. Seit 1783 dient die Kirche als Pfarrkirche.
Den Giebel über dem Kirchenportal krönt heute eine barocke Statue des Erzengels Michael, der Luzifer in die Hölle stößt. Die anderen Figuren des Portals zeigen seitlich oberhalb der mittleren Türe die Ordensheiligen Franz von Assisi und Antonius von Padua und oberhalb der Türe die Gottesmutter Maria.
Das Innere der Kirche wirkt schlicht und ernst. Die große Kuppel über dem Presbyterium wurde ebenso wie die Stuckdekoration 1769 entfernt. Die danach von Josef Adam Mölk geschaffenen Fresken wurden ebenfalls (nach nicht ganz 100 Jahren) entfernt und wichen der heutigen schlichten Gestaltung. Das Bild der Jungfrau Maria am Hochaltar gilt als malerisches Hauptwerk Pietro de Pomis'.
Die Sakristei, erbaut 1636/37, verfügt über reiche Stuckornamentik (Johann Cajetan Androy zugeschrieben,) und ein Gestühl des Régence-Stils, bei der Sakristei befindet sich auch die Bonaventurakapelle (Taufkapelle zum Hl. Bonaventura, Triebenegg’sche Gruftkapelle), 1635 bis 1640 erbaut, mit Stuck im Knorpelwerkstil von Mathias Camin, dem Meister von Mariazell, und einem hochbarocken Altar in Stuckmarmor.
Südlich der Kirche befindet sich der Kreuzgang des Minoritenklosters, an den die Schatzkammerkapelle anschließt. Diese wurde 1769–71 erstellt, um Votivgaben der Wallfahrern aufzunehmen, von denen sich aber keine erhalten haben. Sie zeigt sich geschlossen Spätbarock, die Ausstattung, im Besonderen die Altarretabel, ist aus der Entstehungszeit, Wände und Gewölbestichkappen zieren Wunderszenen in Ton-in-Ton-Malerei von Joseph Adam Ritter von Mölk (1773).
Durch einen weiteren Hof gelangt man über eine repräsentative Treppe in das ehemalige Sommerrefektorium (den Minoritensaal), einen der schönsten profanen Barockräume in Graz.
Heutige Nutzung
Bis heute werden die Klostergebäude von Minoritenbrüdern bewohnt. Im Kloster befindet sich auch das Kulturzentrum bei den Minoriten, in dem Veranstaltungen aus den Bereichen Musik, Literatur und bildende Kunst stattfinden.
Außerdem finden in der Schatzkammerkapelle des Klosters Gottesdienste der ukrainischen griechisch-katholischen Gemeinde, einer rom-unierten Gemeinde, und der russisch-orthodoxen Kirchengemeinde zu Mariä Schutz in Graz, als ökumenische Beherbergung, statt.
Inneres und Äußeres der Mariahilferkirche wurde in den letzten Jahren aufwändig restauriert.
This lady helped me to use a corner of this decaying park as a toilet for a teenage girl that I accompanied around. She insisted that even if there is no normal toilet she should use the corner that you can see behind her back. Me and hee stayed as a human shield to protect the gilr form the eyes of people passing by.
Jerusalem (Hebrew: יְרוּשָׁלַיִם (audio) (help·info), Yerushaláyim (for the meaning, see below); Arabic: القُدس (audio) (help·info), al-Quds Sharif, lit. "The Holy Sanctuary"; Yiddish: ירושלים Yərusholáyəm)[ii] is the capital[iii] of Israel and, if including the area and population of East Jerusalem, its largest city in both population and area,[2] with a population of 763,800 residents over an area of 125.1 km2 (48.3 sq mi). Located in the Judean Mountains, between the Mediterranean Sea and the northern edge of the Dead Sea, modern Jerusalem has grown far beyond the boundaries of the Old City.
The oldest part of the city, the City of David, was settled in the 4th millennium BCE, making Jerusalem one of the oldest cities in the world. Jerusalem is the holiest city in Judaism and has been the spiritual center of the Jewish people since c. 1000 BCE, when David the King of Israel first established it as the capital of the united Kingdom of Israel (Psalms 122), and his son Solomon commissioned the building of the First Temple in the city. Jerusalem is also considered a holy city in Christianity and contains a number of significant Christian sites, and, due to the mentioning of 'The Farthest Mosque' in the Qur'an (Sura al-Isra) and the subsequent building of a mosque called 'the Farthest Mosque' on the Temple Mount, Islam regards Jerusalem as its third-holiest city. Despite having an area of only 0.9 square kilometer (0.35 square mile), the Old City is home to sites of key religious importance, among them the Temple Mount, the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Dome of the Rock and al-Aqsa Mosque. The old walled city, a World Heritage site, has been traditionally divided into four quarters, although the names used today—the Armenian, Christian, Jewish, and Muslim Quarters—were introduced in the early 19th century. The Old City was nominated for inclusion on the List of World Heritage Sites in danger by Jordan in 1982. During its long history, Jerusalem has been destroyed twice, besieged 23 times, attacked 52 times, and captured and recaptured 44 times.
State Emergency Service is an Australian volunteer organisation that provides emergency help during and after declared (natural or otherwise) disasters. The SES is also the primary or secondary agency for minor daily emergencies, such as storm damage, building damage, traffic hazards and road crash rescue. In other scenarios the SES may provide a support role to other agencies, particularly police and fire service.
This is for pefkosmad Tedric Studmuffin the best bear for any puzzle problem!

Does anyone know how Blythe's are manufactured? Like, what process is used - which materials?
I only ask as I am planning to write a little short story about a Blythe doll, and the opening chapter is going to be about the manufacturing process. I'm in no way a writer - it's just something that has always interested me, and I thought what better thing to write about than what I know best - blythe! Though admittedly I'm having problems with the making of them... all I seem to have found is how Barbies are made and I gather Blythes are made a bit differently?
Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much!

I was thrilled to be the Events Photographer for Help-Portrait Sydney yesterday and the event was held at the Australian Technology Park (which in itself is an amazing place to shoot)
Just a quick hand held HDR shot of the rear of the area where the event took place :-)
I am certain there is a lego piece that has the exact same shape as the shoulder pad here but I'm having trouble finding it. Does anyone know the piece I'm looking for?
Just being neighborly. We have had a pretty rough winter with a lot of snow removal required and a lot of aging neighbors. We have been doing our sidewalk and continuing down to include three elderly neighbors after every storm. Yesterday, the lady who lives furthest down came to our door and handed me this $20 bill and, in tears, she told me how much our kindness has meant to her as she is 81 and things are getting harder for her every year. She wouldn't let me refuse the money, but seeing her gratitude made my heart happy! I'm glad we are able to help. Kindness matters.
To help encourage water conservation the Illinois EPA raffled off a decorated rain barrel made from recycled plastic during the 2010 Illinois State Fair. Entry forms were available at the Agency’s exhibit in Conservation World. The entrant had to guess the number of crushed aluminum cans in the cube, available at the exhibit and fill out an entry form. Forms were collected each morning and the closest entry without going over was in the final drawing for the rain barrel.
“Water usage increases in the summer by 30%. This is due to increases in outdoor water use such as lawn watering, flower and vegetable garden watering, car washing, and pavement cleaning, which is why conserving water during the summer months is so important.” said Director Doug Scott of the Illinois EPA.
The number of actual cans in the aluminum cube donated by Waste Management was 1,254 cans and it weighed 38 pounds.
The winner will be notified by the Agency. The other nine finalists will be receiving a rain gauge made from recycled plastic.
The Illinois EPA’s Employee Recognition Committee purchased a rain barrel that was raffled off. The barrel was beautifully designed and decorated by some of the 2010 Governor’s Environmental Corps interns.
Does anyone know how to set a pic for their banner? I thought I did, but I can't find it. Also I'm on a mobile device. Plz help me :)
(This picture was taken with my phone, hence the crappy quality!)
I'm considering buying the Olympus Pen E-1 which is really cheap at the moment. But I'm not sure. So here's where you guys come in. Should I buy it?
I love the 7D I have now, but it's so big and heavy and I really want a GOOD quality camera I carry with me. I do have a compact camera of 6 months old or so.. but the quality is so crappy that I never use it, it's the same as my phone! The Olympus Pen would be a perfect solution since it's so small and light... but it wouldn't it be quiet useless? I mean, I would definitely carry it with me way more than the 7D... but I'm also afraid I'd use the 7D less since the Olympus wil be so easy to carry with me
Aargh dilemma... what would you do? The Olympus Pen is now only 350 euro including 14-42mm lens which is very cheap in my eyes...
I only live once, right? ;)
(I've sold the 400D which I do not regret at all... it would still be too big compared to the Olympus Pen :))
Edit: Never mind, I just ordered it XD YAAAY
But Janja sneered back. “Help you? Help YOU?” Janja leaned over the side of the cliff and flashed a heartless smile. “Why would I want to help you, Kion? You’re right where I always wanted ya to be. How’s it feel being the one in trouble this time?” he asked, laughing happily.
Suddenly, the rocks gave away. Kion’s feet slipped out into space. Only his forepaws kept him from tumbling after. “Janja, please! Whatever you want, this can wait!”
“Whatever I…?” A very different kind of smile spread across Janja’s face. This had not occurred to him. “I mean, yeah. Alright, Kion. If you want my help, first you’re gonna have to make me a few promises…”
