Help Chile Overcome the Earthquake
Chile stepped up efforts to find survivors of an earthquake registering 8.8 magnitude that struck before dawn yesterday, killing more than 700 people, severing the country’s main highway and damaging 1.5 million homes.
The eartquake was centered 200 miles (317 kilometers) southwest of Santiago near the main winemaking region and close to Concepcion, a metropolitan region of more than 500,000 people. Highways and airports were shut by damage and some copper mines closed. The total economic damage may be as much as $30 billion, or about 15 percent of the South American country’s gross domestic product, according to estimates by disaster- scenario modeler Eqecat Inc.
We need your help to overcome the earthquake.

The first chair I spotted on this year's trip, almost a week in! This was a little dissapointing but at least our chromium pal was wating for us.
Leica M7, Zeiss ZM Planar 50mm f2, Fuji Pro 160S.
I recently bought this Tekno model off ebay and when it arrived the windscreen stone guard was damaged and the 2 morrors on this side of the model had been broken of and missing, can anyone help me locate these parts, or know anyone who could repair it for me.

Help, I need somebody,
Help, not just anybody,
Help, you know I need someone, help.
When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors.
Just when you think everything's going fine, something happens and... Well, life has changed again. I didn't saw this coming. I should feel happy, they say. Should I? Dunno. I'm just thinking hard a way to make it work. Man, I'm screwed up!

No, sir... They're only the first mainstream stone of music industry. Probably they don't have 'the magic of art', but they have 'the magic'. And I was told by someone I respect I should keep working hard to keep the magic flowing... That's it.

De los 428,000 libros de la Biblioteca Central, bajamos a 925 sobre música, a 136 por revisar y a 45 fuentes recabadas. Ahora queda leer miles de páginas antes de poder sentarme a escribir siquiera una letra... Es como para morirse. Si Gab, Gee & Liz no me hubiesen acompañado; ya habría tirado la toalla. Gracias.

Himitsu makes an adorable maid chan! ^o^
She helped me sorted out the dollfie clothes ^^; Near the end of the day I accidentally got my left index finger cut by the measuring tape =_= almost passed out from the shock :P it's worse than paper cut ^^; had to hold finger over my head while applying pressure to stop the bleeding before putting a bandaid on ^^;;;;
HELP!!! Your advice greatly appreciated:
This side of the house always suffers major snow and ice accumulation on the roof and gutter. Despite having a new roof and 8 feet of ice guard underlay, water manages to work it’s way into the house. Any advice on how I can stop this?
Peeking in the attic, I did notice one roof leak about 10 – 12 inches from the bottom edge. I don’t know if the water is backing up under the ice guard. I suspect it is. Tomorrow I go out with a hatchet and start hacking off ice. I am ready for spring – LOL!
About a third of the roll shows this gray wash down the left quarter of the negative. It seems to be in the photos rather than a substance on the surface of the negative. The Yashica hasn't had any problems before, and I'm stumped. Anybody?

No Kinder Heart took these photo's of me when they saw me all dressed up for a photo shoot. I take no credit in these photos except that of a poor undeserving muse.

Does anyone recognize these outfits? Many thanks!!
Can you help us trace 16 people as part of an investigation into disorder before and after the Cardiff City v Bristol City game in February?
There were incidents of public order, violence and criminal damage involving Bristol City fans outside the Cardiff City Stadium and in St Mary Street on Saturday, February 16.
Following the disorder, South Wales Police set-up an investigation called Operation Panther to identify and arrest those involved, sending out a clear message that this type of behaviour will not be tolerated.
As a result 16 men aged between 16 and 38 from the Bristol and Farnborough areas have being arrested. Of these:
•Three have been convicted resulting in football banning orders
•One man is awaiting sentence
•A further six individuals are due to appear at Cardiff Magistrates’ Court next month charged with public order offences.
•Six remain on bail pending further enquiries.
Police are now appealing to the public to help identify a further 16 people.
Football liaison officer, Pc Christian Evans said: “This incident did not involve any home vans and the vast majority of away supporters behaved impeccably but unfortunately a small minority were intent on causing trouble.
“We are committed to keeping football a safe environment where people are able to take their families without fear of violence. If anyone recognises someone in the pictures I would urge them to call us.”
A spokesman for Bristol City Football Club said: “We have worked very hard in recent years to attract younger supporters and families to Ashton Gate. Establishing ourselves at the heart of the community is one of the key pillars of the club’s future development.
“We were recently awarded the Football League’s Family Excellence Award for the fourth consecutive year.
“Bristol City Football Club represents a wide community and we recognise that different people will choose to express their support for their team in different ways.
“We welcome this diversity in support but incidents such as those which allegedly took place in Cardiff pose a serious threat to our desire to make Bristol City Football Club a place where people can watch a game safely and securely.
“Anyone who is found guilty of a criminal offence arising from these incidents will not be welcome at Bristol City Football Club in the future and we will full support any banning orders which the courts may impose.”
If you recognise someone in these pictures or have information regarding the incident please contact Pc Evans on 07584 883154 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 quoting Operation Panther.
So this is the shot I've chosen from my graduation portraits that I'll be sending out with my announcements. I did a few different kinds of editing (just playing around, not trying to achieve anything specific in either method) and I would like your opinion on which you like. I'm not partial to any of these really, and none of these edits may make the final cut, I would just like some feedback and guidance from my very lovely, talented, and inspirational contacts! Please let me know what you think, and don't be too cruel?

This past weekend, I helped put on Terre Haute's first ever Help Portrait event at Lighthouse Mission. Help-Portrait is a global movement of photographers, hairstylists and makeup artists using their time, tools and expertise to give back to those in need. I thoroughly enjoyed hearing people's story and watching their reaction as they saw their picture.
When we first arrived at the shelter to set-up our photo equipment, I bumped into Jeffery who finished doing his shelter duties in the morning. He had a long beard, dirty clothes, and messy hair. I invited him to get his free picture at our event and told him about how we can give him a portrait for free! His eyes lit up and quickly ran upstairs where he was staying. The next time I saw him was when he asked me to take his picture. His beard was gone, he was wearing a suit, and his hair nicely combed. He said to me with a grin on his face, "Remember me?". After I took his picture, I showed him the results. His eyes lit up again and was excited to see how well it turned out. He told me that he loved to get dressed up and hadn't done so in a while. Help-Portrait was the first time in a long time where he can dress up and look nice. He later started showing his picture to other people around the shelter convincing them to get their pictures taken.
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.
