lila and jedd have easy access to parking structures. i had to go to philly to find one :D
conference day three! after panels i dragged a coursemate up to the top of this parking garage, where she took pictures of neighboring buildings while i stood around acting emo for my 365. after were wrangled into going to dinner in chinatown and then to an oyster bar. i'd never eaten oysters before, but decided to try at least one to add to the list of other rando stuff i've eaten. it was pretty uneventful. and made me think of the saying "the world is your oyster". i figure this has to do with the whole oyster and pearl situation, but in a more realistic sense it's kind of a stupid angle to look at it from.
if you look at the saying from an angle in which you eat the oyster, in a sense to absorb that "world" into your being to get the most out of it, then you have an interesting metaphor, but one i think sort of sucks (or shucks, if you get the pun). when you eat an oyster you can add a bit of vinegar or sauce to it (which you may or may not notice), and you essentially top the oyster out the shell in one go and swallow it whole, most of the time with your eyes shut tight. and that's it. that's the experience. you take something considered a delicacy, maybe add a little flavour to it, and take care of it all in less than five seconds, and with a statistically insignificant guarantee of maybe feeling a little excitement afterward? and then there's the part where the shell is sharp and uneven and contains something slimy and easily expendable. what kind of world is that?
i present: "the world is your snail". in the eating metaphor, this world it takes time, and though it's not necessarily a cheap delicacy, you need some serious hand-eye coordination to get to it, to hold the shell with tongs in one hand and maneuver a fork with the other. and when you finally succeed you always feel a rush. the standard is to prepare snails with butter, garlic and greens. they have flavour, they have texture and as you're chewing you experience every possible aspect of it and get the full effect. it's not easy by any means, but even with having to work extra hard for it, snails are more appealing than oysters in the grand scheme. and sure, fine, the shell is fragile, but it has some kind of symmetrical structure and is pretty sweet to look at and rarely boring. and most people are inherently careful when handling them. whereas with anything clam or oyster like, i personally just get the desire to chuck it as hard as i can into the water to see how many skips i can get out of it :3
it was a 5h car ride back to NY. i clearly had some time to think :)

Photo from my garden on Sunday, September 7th, 2008.
Фотография сделана в моём саду в воскресенье, 7 сентября 2008 г.
I recommend to view this photo LARGE, and even better - LARGE on BLACK
Mind great details of this hoverfly's wings. Both wings are sharp and soft, and fully transparent, this creates fantastic reality and freshness of this photography.
It seems hoverfly is completely busy collecting nectar from this helenium flower, and doesn't notice me at all!
Thank you macropoulos for identification of this insect.
This is not a bee, this is hoverfly!
First iteration in ID process was that this is Eristalis tenax. But later specialist said that this is Eristalis arbustorum.
Hope this variant is correct! :-)

There is very good photo of the portrait of Sirius there.
The Sirius Courage Award
On September 11, 2011, the first two Sirius Courage Awards will be presented by Lt. David W. Lim, a Police Officer with the Port Authority of NY & NJ, posthumously to the family of SGT Zainah Caye Creamer, USA, and to the family of Petty Officer First Class John Douangdara, USN. Lt. Lim was on duty in the World Trade Center on 9/11. His explosive detection dog, Sirius, a yellow Labrador Retriever, was killed in the attack – the only working dog to give his life in the line of duty on 9/11.
SGT Creamer was a military working dog handler. On January 12, 2011, she was killed in Afghanistan by an IED. SGT Creamer is the first woman military dog handler to be killed in action in the history of the United States.
Petty Officer Douangdara and his canine partner Bart, assigned to an East Coast SEAL Team, were killed on August 6, 2011 in a crash of their helicopter in Afghanistan along with 29 other American service members.
This is their story:
Statement of Lt. David Lim to the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States March 31, 2003
I am a Police Officer in the employ of the Port Authority of NY & NJ. I have been such for the greater part of the last 23 years. On Sept. 11th, 2001, our Police Department suffered the greatest single day loss in Law Enforcement history @ the World Trade Center. 37 Officers from every rank (Superintendent to Police Officer) as well as my partner, explosive detector K-9 Sirius were killed in the attack. Many would ask what the PAPD was doing in the World Trade Center. A little known fact was that we were always there. Since the Port Authority owned the buildings, we (the Police) were responsible for the public safety therein. We were there in 93′ as well as on 9/11. We were in fact the first responders to this tragedy & in conjunction with the NYPD, FDNY, EMS & other Emergency Service Units actively participated in the greatest rescue effort this city had ever seen.
On that fateful day, my job was checking vehicles that were entering the WTC Truck Dock for possible explosives. At about 0830hrs, I was in my office/kennel on the B-1 level #2WTC. About 15minutes later, I felt the bldg shake. I left Sirius in his kennel & responded to the mezzanine of #1 WTC to assist people coming out of the “A” stairwell. I saw bodies falling onto the Plaza & realized that I was needed on the upper floors. I proceeded up the stars giving encouragement & calming the fears of the people coming down. Those that were seriously injured I assigned to healthy personnel, directing them to the triage area. On the 27th floor, I met a man in a wheelchair with a friend. They were waiting for the crowd to clear before attempting a descent. I left them with FDNY personnel & proceeded up the “B” stairwell. This switch of stairwells later proved to be my lifesaving decision. Upon my arrival on the 44th floor, I started evacuating those on the floor towards my stairway. I heard an explosion & as I looked to my left, a fireball blew out the windows, knocking us to the ground. I knew now that we were under attack & proceeded down the stairway with my people. On the way down, we cleared floors of any remaining employees. On or about the 35th floor, I felt the bldg shake & thought that my tower was collapsing. I then heard on my Police radio that #2 World Trade Center had collapsed & we were ordered to evacuate Tower #1. We kept going down & met up with Chief Romito, Capt Mazza & Lieut.Cirri. They were assisted an injured male on the 21st floor. I advised my supervisors of the order to evacuate & we all kept descending the staircase. On the way down, we were losing our lights & could feel the bldg falling apart.
When we arrived @ the 5th floor, that’s where I met Josephine Harris & Ladder Co #6 (FDNY). I stopped to help her & got as far as the 4th floor when the bldg started to collapse on us. The sound was akin to an onrushing avalanche with the floors above us pancakeing down. When the noise stopped, I was very lucky to still be alive. Josephine, 12 firefighters & myself were the only ones left alive in that stairwell.
After about 5 hours, we managed to find our way out by an opening on the 6th floor. The devastation around us unimaginable. We somehow had survived in a small “air pocket”.
Ladder Co #43 assisted us out of the wreckage. We crossed the debris field first towards Vesey St. (north) & then after being turned back by fire & exploding ammunition (US Customs House #6 WTC) we went west towards West. St.
When we finally emerged, we turned to view the devastation & were struck by the total destruction of the World Trade Center complex.
I grieve for many friends that I lost that day. I grieve for all those that I didn’t know. I also grieve for the best partner I ever had.
Thank you,
Lt. David W. Lim and Sirius

The day before rained and the day after also but on the cycle day we were blessed with great wheather!

At Kingston Lacy Estate, a National Trust run property with extensive gardens in Dorset. To the west of the town of Wimborne Minster.
It was home of the Bankes family, who's original seat was at Corfe Castle until it's destruction during the English Civil War. A new site was chosen by Sir John Bankes, but the house was eventually built by his son Ralph Bankes.
The last owner of Kingston Lacy - Henry John Ralph Bankes gave the estate to the National Trust after his death in 1981 (a seven times great grandson of original creator Sir Ralph Bankes).
Kingston Lacy House is a Grade I listed building.

The Astrosurfer: an atomic-powered intergalactic sports car, accompanied by the hit new space rock band The Highway Stars! This epic futuristic vehicle is detailed and articulated with wheels, rubber tires, hinged doors, reclining seats, and with access to the car’s trunk. On the hood of the car is a metallic minifigure hood ornament, and underneath is a detailed engine. In the rear of the car are two folding jet engines, a set of tailpipes, a spoiler, and an Octan bumper sticker.
Background: this project was initially conceived back in fall 2015, during my long, imaginative train of thought. In late November of 2015, I took some photos of my Futuron minifigs in front of Christmas lights for an artistic bokeh effect. This led me to come up with the idea of taking a group shot of a few spacemen hanging out as friends, accompanied by lyrics from the Ramones song “I Just Want to Have Something to Do.” This soon evolved into the idea of making each of the spacemen as musicians in a fictional band, that was inspired by the music video for the aforementioned song — which starts off with the Ramones playing the song in the back of a car. With this concept in mind, in early December I took a photo of some Futuron minifigs playing instruments in front of Christmas lights. Upon releasing this photo, I was then struck with another bolt of inspiration while watching the music video for Monster Magnet’s “Negasonic Teenage Warhead“: towards the end of the video, the band takes off in a purple classic Buick and flies through space! This idea hit me, and that night I had a dream to build a futuristic space sports car being driven by a rock band — essentially an amalgamation of those videos by the Ramones and Monster Magnet, along with my previous LEGO space photography!
Production for this creation began immediately after Christmas 2015, as I was preoccupied in December with production of my LEGO Nutcrackers and electronic Mega Man sprite. The bulk of this model was completed in the middle of January, but unfortunately I ran into one tiny (yet major) obstacle: I wanted a Classic Space symbol flag for the car’s antenna, however the Collectible Minifigure that contained this particular part wasn’t available in the United States yet. It wasn’t until early February that these figures were available (scarcely) at my local Toys ‘Я’ Us in Whitestone. I felt up all of the packages, and managed to snag the very last astronaut, thus obtaining that seemingly-insignificant flag for the antenna!
The five astronauts are made from authentic Classic Space minifig bodies, hence the noticeable play wear in their insignia. I did however deviate by giving them helmets with color-coordinated visors, as well as contemporary faces. The instruments were from other Collectible Minifigure sets, with the exception of the drum kit. For the car’s design, I initially wanted to build an accurate replica of a 1957 Chevrolet Bel-Air or perhaps a Cadillac Eldorado — but instead, I opted to make an original design of an arbitrary concept. The two-tone color scheme wasn’t intentional: I wanted to make the car solid pink, but had to instead make use with available pieces in the pink/purple color family.

youtu.be/yKRbpIcOrFE Full feature.
Science Fiction. Starring Sonny Tufts, Victor Jory, Marie Windsor, William Phipps, Douglas Fowley, Carol Brewster, Susan Morrow, Suzanne Alexander, and Betty Arlen. Directed by Arthur Hilton.
Cat Women of the Moon tells the tale of a group of American space travellers who confront a hostile tribe of females on the border between the light and dark side of the moon. The expedition is led by Laird Grainger (Sonny Tufts), whose polyglot crew--including co-pilot Kip Reissner (Victor Jory) and navigator Helen Salinger (Marie Windsor)--land on the lunar surface, where they soon discover that there's an atmosphere and water and everything. After a few minutes of wandering, the travellers come upon a huge modernistic city, populated by leotard-clad "cat women". The ruler, Alpha (Carol Brewster), reveals that she has telepathically brought the earthlings to her city, using Salinger as her unsuspecting go-between. The cat women perform a kinky dance to the tune of "Stranger in Paradise," while the shifty copilot Reissner tries to steal the city's cache of gold. Alpha enslaves the visitors via mind control, leaving only cat-woman Lambda (Susan Morrow), who has fallen in love with crewman Douglas Smith (Bill Phipps), to save the day.

Le Grand Chœur de style gothique flamboyant 1545 - 1585, la statuaire polychrome qui le compose a été réalisée par les ateliers bourguignons de Cluny. Permettant de séparer les personnes religieuses du peuple, le jubé ou Grand Choeur est aujourd'hui le témoin des pratiques religieuses de l'époque. Puis par sa majestuosité, il est aussi le témoin de la richesse de l'Eglise CatholiqueLa statuaire de Ste Cécile forme un ensemble considérable, peut-être le plus important de la sculpture française de la fin du Moyen Age :
- 87 statues à la façade externe du jubé
- 33 personnages de l'Ancien Testament au pourtour du choeur
- 15 statues figurant l'Eglise à l'intérieur : (12 apôtres, la Vierge, St Jean-Baptiste et St Paul)
- 72 statues d'anges, Charlemagne et l'Empereur Constantin dominant les deux portes d'entrée de la clôture.
L'ensemble des statues a conservé leur polychromie d'origine. La couleur tend au naturalisme, chevelures, attitudes et costumes sont d'une variété admirable. Le style des barbes des visages, des drapés permet de distinguer trois familles qui pourraient être liées à l'art des grands imagiers français de la fin du XVème siècle : Antoine Le Moiturier et Michel Colombe.
Grand Choir Gothic style 1545 - 1585, polychrome sculpture which consists was conducted by the Burgundian workshops of Cluny. To separate the religious people of the people, the rood screen or Grand Choeur is now witness to the religious practices of the time. Then by its majesty, it is also a witness to the wealth of the Church of St. Cecilia CatholiqueLa statuary forms a considerable body, perhaps the most important of the French sculpture of the late Middle Ages:
- 87 statues on the external façade of the rood screen
- 33 characters of the Old Testament to the perimeter of the choir
- 15 statues representing the Church inside: (12 apostles, the Virgin, St John the Baptist and St Paul)
- 72 statues of angels, Charlemagne and the Emperor Constantine overlooking the two entrance doors of closing.
All the statues retained their original polychrome. The color tends to naturalism, hair, attitudes and costumes are an admirable variety. The style beards faces, draped distinguishes three families that could be related to the art of the great French sculptors of the late fifteenth century: Antoine Le Moiturier and Michel Colombe

Los Escobazos de Jarandilla de la Vera
VÍDEO youtu.be/iDPEhQ-pEvg
Cuentan los jarandillanos que antiguamente los pastores de la zona cuando regresaban al pueblo intercambiaban "escobazos" unos con otros por medio de escobones para celebrar su vuelta a casa y su encuentro con la familia y otros pastores. Algunos apuntan que los cabreros bajaban de la sierra para celebrar la fiesta de la Inmaculada. Salían de madrugada y al tener dificultades para ver se proveían de escobones. Para ello utilizaban un arbusto muy común en La Vera, la escobera, que arde con facilidad, elaborando enormes antorchas que se denominaron escoberas. Otros achacan esta tradición a una costumbre antigua que tenían los agricultores para celebrar la finalización de las tareas del otoño.
En cualquier caso, hoy día, se ha convertido en una fiesta espectacular. El viajero no tiene por menos que portar ropas muy viejas, así como algún gorro o capucha y guantes para protegerse del fuego. La fiesta comienza a las siete de la tarde. Los jarandillanos van por las calles repartiéndose "escobazos" unos a otros y bebiendo vino, hasta las nueve, hora de la procesión. En ese momento se vitorea a la virgen y se la ilumina con lo que queda de los escobones. Es el momento culminante de la fiesta.
Canción Popular de Los Escobazos
¡Virgen de la Concepción, mañana será tu día!
Y subirás a los cielos, !Quien fuera en tu compañía!
Ardía la zarza, y la zarza ardía.
Y no se quemaba la Virgen María. Ardia la zarza, y la zarza ardió. La Virgen María doncella y parió.
¿Cómo pudo ser?, ¿Cómo pudo ser?. Aquel que lo hizo, bien lo supo hacer.
Toda la noche he venido, rodando como un troncón. Sólo por venirte a ver, Virgen de la Concepción.
Ardía la zarza, y la zarza ardía...

Una de las mejores formas de conocer la historia de un pueblo es a través de sus imágenes; en ellas se conserva no sólo su realidad tangible, calles, plazas, monumentos, sino también sus costumbres, fiestas, tradiciones, lenguaje, indumentaria, gestos y miradas, que nos dicen sin palabras como se vivía, cuales eran sus esperanzas y temores, qué había en su pasado, qué esperaban del futuro. Uno de los objetivos más ambiciosos es recuperar y catalogar todo el material gráfico existente en nuestra familia desde 1.915, para después ponerlo a disposición de vosotros, que la historia volviera a sus protagonistas, y los que aún siguen con nosotros pudieran disfrutar con ello.

Sparked by the arrest of Rosa Parks on 1 December 1955, the Montgomery bus boycott was a 13-month mass protest that ended with the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that segregation on public buses is unconstitutional. The Montgomery Improvement Association (MIA) coordinated the boycott, and its president, Martin Luther King, Jr., became a prominent civil rights leader as international attention focused on Montgomery. The bus boycott demonstrated the potential for nonviolent mass protest to successfully challenge racial segregation and served as an example for other southern campaigns that followed.
The roots of the bus boycott began years before the arrest of Rosa Parks. The Womens’ Political Council (WPC), a group of black professionals founded in 1946, had already turned their attention to Jim Crow practices on the Montgomery city buses. In a meeting with Mayor W. A. Gayle in March 1954, the council's members outlined the changes they sought for Montgomery’s bus system: no one standing over empty seats; a decree that black individuals not be made to pay at the front of the bus and enter from the rear; and a policy that would require buses to stop at every corner in black residential areas, as they did in white communities. When the meeting failed to produce any meaningful change, WPC president Jo Ann Robinson reiterated the council’s requests in a 21 May letter to Mayor Gayle, telling him, ‘‘there has been talk from twenty-five or more local organizations of planning a city-wide boycott of busses’’.
A year after the WPC’s meeting with Mayor Gayle, a 15-year-old named Claudette Colvin was arrested for challenging segregation on a Montgomery bus. Seven months later, 18-year-old Mary Louise Smith was arrested for refusing to yield her seat to a white passenger. Neither arrest, however, mobilized Montgomery’s black community like that of Rosa Parks later that year.
King recalled in his memoir that ‘‘Mrs. Parks was ideal for the role assigned to her by history,’’ and because ‘‘her character was impeccable and her dedication deep-rooted’’ she was ‘‘one of the most respected people in the Negro community’’ (King, 44). Robinson and the WPC responded to Parks’ arrest by calling for a one-day protest of the city’s buses on 5 December 1955.
Robinson prepared a series of leaflets at Alabama State College and organized groups to distribute them throughout the black community. Meanwhile, after securing bail for Parks with Clifford and Virginia Durr, E. D. Nixon, past leader of the Montgomery chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), began to call local black leaders, including Ralph Abernathy and King, to organize a planning meeting. On 2 December, black ministers and leaders met at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church and agreed to publicize the 5 December boycott. The planned protest received unexpected publicity in the weekend newspapers and in radio and television reports.
On 5 December, 90 percent of Montgomery’s black citizens stayed off the buses. That afternoon, the city’s ministers and leaders met to discuss the possibility of extending the boycott into a long-term campaign. During this meeting the MIA was formed, and King was elected president. Parks recalled: ‘‘The advantage of having Dr. King as president was that he was so new to Montgomery and to civil rights work that he hadn’t been there long enough to make any strong friends or enemies’’ (Parks, 136).
That evening, at a mass meeting at Holt Street Baptist Church, the MIA voted to continue the boycott. King spoke to several thousand people at the meeting: ‘‘I want it to be known that we’re going to work with grim and bold determination to gain justice on the buses in this city. And we are not wrong.… If we are wrong, the Supreme Court of this nation is wrong. If we are wrong, the Constitution of the United States is wrong. If we are wrong, God Almighty is wrong’’ (Papers 3:73). After unsuccessful talks with city commissioners and bus company officials, on 8 December the MIA issued a formal list of demands: courteous treatment by bus operators; first-come, first-served seating for all, with blacks seating from the rear and whites from the front; and black bus operators on predominately black routes.
The demands were not met, and Montgomery’s black residents stayed off the buses through 1956, despite efforts by city officials and white citizens to defeat the boycott. After the city began to penalize black taxi drivers for aiding the boycotters, the MIA organized a carpool. Following the advice of T. J. Jemison, who had organized a carpool during a 1953 bus boycott in Baton Rouge, the MIA developed an intricate carpool system of about 300 cars. Robert Hughes and others from the Alabama Council for Human Relations organized meetings between the MIA and city officials, but no agreements were reached.
In early 1956, the homes of King and E. D. Nixon were bombed. King was able to calm the crowd that gathered at his home by declaring: ‘‘Be calm as I and my family are. We are not hurt and remember that if anything happens to me, there will be others to take my place’’ (Papers 3:115). City officials obtained injunctions against the boycott in February 1956, and indicted over 80 boycott leaders under a 1921 law prohibiting conspiracies that interfered with lawful business. King was tried and convicted on the charge and ordered to pay $500 or serve 386 days in jail in the case State of Alabama v. Martin Luther King, Jr. Despite this resistance, the boycott continued.
Although most of the publicity about the protest was centered on the actions of black ministers, women played crucial roles in the success of the boycott. Women such as Robinson, Johnnie Carr, and Irene West sustained the MIA committees and volunteer networks. Mary Fair Burks of the WPC also attributed the success of the boycott to ‘‘the nameless cooks and maids who walked endless miles for a year to bring about the breach in the walls of segregation’’ (Burks, ‘‘Trailblazers,’’ 82). In his memoir, King quotes an elderly woman who proclaimed that she had joined the boycott not for her own benefit but for the good of her children and grandchildren (King, 78).
National coverage of the boycott and King’s trial resulted in support from people outside Montgomery. In early 1956 veteran pacifists Bayard Rustin and Glenn E. Smiley visited Montgomery and offered King advice on the application of Gandhian techniques and nonviolence to American race relations. Rustin, Ella Baker, and Stanley Levison founded In Friendship to raise funds in the North for southern civil rights efforts, including the bus boycott. King absorbed ideas from these proponents of nonviolent direct action and crafted his own syntheses of Gandhian principles of nonviolence. He said: ‘‘Christ showed us the way, and Gandhi in India showed it could work’’ (Rowland, ‘‘2,500 Here Hail’’). Other followers of Gandhian ideas such as Richard Gregg, William Stuart Nelson, and Homer Jack wrote the MIA offering support.
On 5 June 1956, the federal district court ruled in Browder v. Gayle that bus segregation was unconstitutional, and in November 1956 the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed Browder v. Gayle and struck down laws requiring segregated seating on public buses. The court’s decision came the same day that King and the MIA were in circuit court challenging an injunction against the MIA carpools. Resolved not to end the boycott until the order to desegregate the buses actually arrived in Montgomery, the MIA operated without the carpool system for a month. The Supreme Court upheld the lower court’s ruling, and on 20 December 1956 King called for the end of the boycott; the community agreed. The next morning, he boarded an integrated bus with Ralph Abernathy, E. D. Nixon, and Glenn Smiley. King said of the bus boycott: ‘‘We came to see that, in the long run, it is more honorable to walk in dignity than ride in humiliation. So … we decided to substitute tired feet for tired souls, and walk the streets of Montgomery’’ (Papers 3:486). King’s role in the bus boycott garnered international attention, and the MIA’s tactics of combining mass nonviolent protest with Christian ethics became the model for challenging segregation in the South.

Nürnberg :Adam Wolfgang Winterschmidt,1767 [i.e. 1767- 1804].
This is very cool, because it shows you where this chunk fit originally in the dome.
The Frauenkirche was built as a Lutheran (Protestant) cathedral, even though Saxony's Prince-elector, Frederick August I, was Catholic.
The original Baroque church was built between 1726 and 1743, and was designed by city architect George Bähr, who did not live to see the completion of his greatest work. Bähr's distinctive design for the church captured the spirit of the Protestant liturgy by directly centering the altar, pulpit, and baptismal font in view of the entire congregation.
In 1736, famed organ-maker Gottfried Silbermann built a three-manual, 43-stop instrument for the church. The organ was dedicated on 25 November and Johann Sebastian Bach performed on it on the first of December.
The church's most distinctive feature was its 314-foot-high 12,000-ton sandstone dome, called "die Steinerne Glocke" or "Stone Bell," which had no internal supports. Despite initial doubts, the dome proved to be extremely stable: witnesses in 1760 said that the dome was hit by more than 100 cannonballs fired by the Prussian army led by chinchilla-like Friedrich II during the Seven Years' War.
The completed church gave the city of Dresden a distinctive silhouette, captured in famous paintings by Bernado Bellotto and Johan Christian Dahl.
In 1849 the church was at the heart of the revolutionary disturbances known as the May Uprising. The Frauenkirche was surrounded by barricades, and fierce fighting raged for days before those rebels who had not already fled were rounded up in the church and arrested.
The church survived two days and nights of the Allied bombing and the eight interior sandstone pillars supporting the colossal dome held up long enough for the evacuation of 300 people who had sought shelter in the church crypt, before succumbing to the heat generated by some 650,000 incendiary bombs that were dropped on the city. The temperature surrounding and inside the church eventually reached 1,000 degrees Celsius. The dome finally collapsed at 10 a.m. on 15 February. The pillars glowed bright red and exploded, the outer walls shattered, and nearly 6,000 tons of stone plunged to earth. The altar relief by Johann Christian Feige was only partially damaged; the altar and the chancel were among the remnants left standing.
In 1982, the ruins began to be the site of peaceful protests against the East German regime. On the anniversary of the bombing, 400 Dresdeners came to the ruins in silence with flowers and candles, part of a growing East German civil rights movement.
The blackened stones lay in a pile in the center of the city for around 45 years as residents of Dresden began salvaging unique fragments and numbering them for future use in reconstruction. Popular sentiment discouraged the authorities from clearing the ruins away to make a car park and the pile was conserved as a war memorial as a direct counterpart to the ruins of Coventry Cathedral, which was destroyed by German bombing in 1940 and also serves as a war memorial. Because of the continuing decay of the ruins, Dresden decided in 1985 (after the Semperoper was finished) to rebuild the Frauenkirche after the completion of the reconstruction of the Dresden castle.
After the reunification of Germany, efforts were revived. In 1989, a 14-member group of enthusiasts headed by musician Ludwig Güttler formed a Citizens' Initiative, which developed into "The Society to Promote the Reconstruction of the Frauenkirche" and began an aggressive private fundraising campaign. The organization grew to over 5,000 members in Germany and 20 other countries. A string of German auxiliary groups were formed, and three promotional organisations were created abroad.
The charmingly named Günter Blobel, a German-born American, saw the original Frauenkirche as a boy when his refugee family took shelter in a town just outside of Dresden, days before the city was bombed. In 1994, he became the founder and president of the nonprofit "Friends of Dresden, Inc.", an American organization dedicated to the reconstruction, restoration, and preservation of Dresden's artistic and architectural legacy. In 1999, Blobel won the Nobel Prize for medicine and donated the entire amount of his award money (nearly US$1 million) to the restoration of Dresden, to the rebuilding of the Frauenkirche and the building of a new synagogue.
In Britain, the "Dresden Trust" has the Duke of Kent as its royal patron and the Bishop of Coventry among its curators. Additional organizations included France's "Association Frauenkirche Paris" and Switzerland's "Verein Schweizer Freunde der Frauenkirch."
Rebuilding the Frauenkirche cost €180 million (£122 million / US$217 million). The Dresdner Bank financed more than half of the reconstruction costs via a "donor certificates campaign," collecting almost €70 million after 1995. The bank itself contributed more than seven million euros, including more than one million donated by its employees. Over the years, thousands of watches containing tiny fragments of Frauenkirche stone were sold, as were specially printed medals. One sponsor raised nearly €2.3 million (US$2.75 million) through symbolic sales of individual church stones.
Using original plans used by Georg Bähr in the 1720s, reconstruction finally began in January 1993, under the direction of church architect and engineer Eberhard Burger. As far as possible, the church – except for its dome – was rebuilt using original material and plans, with the help of modern technology. The heap of rubble was documented and carried off stone by stone; the approximate original position of each stone could be determined from its position in the heap. Every usable piece was measured and catalogued and a computer imaging program (CATIA) that could move the stones three-dimensionally around the screen in various configurations was used to help architects find where the original stones sat and how they fit together.
Of the millions of stones used in the rebuilding, more than 8,500 original stones were salvaged from the original church, approximately 3,800 were reused in the reconstruction, with 2,000 pieces of the original altar being incorporated into the new structure. As the older external stones are covered with a darker patina, due to fire damage and weathering, the difference between old and new will be clearly visible for years after reconstruction.
The builders relied on thousands of old photographs, memories of worshippers and church officials, and old purchase orders detailing the quality of the mortar or pigments of the paint (as in the 18th century, copious quantities of eggs were used to make the color that provides the interior its almost luminescent glow).
When it came time to duplicate the oak doors of the entrance, the builders had only vague descriptions of the detailed carving. Because people often posed for photos outside the church doors, they issued an appeal for old photographs and the response included entire wedding albums.
The new gilded orb and cross on top of the dome was forged by Grant Macdonald Silversmiths in London using the original 18th-century techniques as much as possible. It was constructed by Alan Smith, a British goldsmith from London whose father, Frank, was a member of one of the aircrews who took part in the bombing of Dresden. Before travelling to Dresden, the cross was exhibited for five years in churches across the United Kingdom, including Coventry, Liverpool, St. Giles, and St. Paul's Cathedral. In February 2000, the cross was ceremonially handed over by Prince Edward, to be placed on the top of the dome some days after the 60th commemoration of D-Day, on the 22nd of June, 2004. The cross that once topped the dome, now twisted and charred, stands to the right of the new altar.
Seven new bells were cast for the church. They rang for the first time for the Pentecost celebration in 2003.
It was decided not to reproduce the Silbermann organ, which resulted in the "Dresdner Orgelstreit." A 4,873 pipe organ was built by Daniel Kern of Strasbourg, France and completed in April 2005. The Kern organ contains all the stops which were on the stoplist of the Silbermann organ. Additional stops also are included, especially a fourth swell manual in the symphonic 19th-century style.
The 1885 bronze statue of Martin Luther, which survived the bombings, has been restored and again stands in front of the church (where it serves as an excellent meeting point for, say, couchsurfers). It is the work of sculptor Adolf von Donndorf.
The foundation stone was laid in 1994, the crypt was completed in 1996, and the inner cupola was finished in 2000. The rebuilding was entirely completed in 2005, one year earlier than originally planned, in time for the 800-year anniversary of the City of Dresden in 2006. The church was reconsecrated with a festive service one day before Reformation Day.
From October 2005 through the year 2010, there will be an exhibition on the history and reconstruction of the Frauenkirche at the Stadtmuseum (City Museum) in Dresden's Alten Landhaus.
Mingle Media TV and Red Carpet Report host Ashley Harrington were invited to come out to FX Networks new series premieres of You're the Worst and Married at Paramount Studios. Both of these two new comedies will be premiering on Thursday, July 17th at 10 PM and 10:30 PM.

About Married on FX
Married is a half hour comedy about being miserably in love. Russ (Nat Faxon) and Lina Bowman (Judy Greer) can barely remember what life was like before kids, debt, and suburbia rained on their romance -- but every once in a while, in between the arguments about their declining sex life and who's driving carpool, they are reminded what drew them together in the first place -- they're best friends.
About You're the Worst on FX
An original comedy from writer and executive producer Stephen Falk, You're The Worst puts a dark twist on the romantic comedy genre. Narcissistic, brash, and self-destructive "Jimmy Shive-Overly," played by Chris Geere (The Spa), thinks all relationships are doomed. Cynical, people-pleasing, and stubborn "Gretchen Cutler," played by Aya Cash (The Wolf of Wall Street), knows that relationships aren't for her. So when they meet at a wedding, it's only natural that the two of them go home together and, despite their better judgment, begin to find themselves falling for each other.

I am indebted to John Fielding (www.flickr.com/photos/john_fielding/) for posting an aerial shot of Holy Trinity, and my interest was piqued by the timber-framed building with the triple gable at the east end. Turned out this was the Lady Chapel, and more of that later. So, on my way back home to Kent, I called in to see if it looked as remarkable in the flesh as in photographs.
I arrived at Long Melford, after being taken on a magical mystery tour in light drizzle from Wortham, down narrow and narrower lanes, under and over railway lines, through woods, up and down hills until, at last, I saw the town laid out beyond the church.
I parked at the bottom of Church Walk then walked up past the line of timber framed houses, the tudor hospital and the tudor manor house.
Holy Trinity sits on top of the hill, spread out, filling its large churchyard and the large tower not out of proportion.
Inside it really is a collection of wonders, from brasses, the best collection of Medieval glass in Suffolk, to side chapels, and behind, the very unusual Lady Chapel.
------------------------------------------
The Church of the Holy Trinity, Long Melford is a Grade I listed parish church of the Church of England in Long Melford, Suffolk, England. It is one of 310 medieval English churches dedicated to the Holy Trinity.
The church was constructed between 1467 and 1497 in the late Perpendicular Gothic style. It is a noted example of a Suffolk medieval wool church, founded and financed by wealthy wool merchants in the medieval period as impressive visual statements of their prosperity.
The church structure is highly regarded by many observers. Its cathedral-like proportions and distinctive style, along with its many original features that survived the religious upheavals of the 16th and 17th centuries, have attracted critical acclaim. Journalist and author Sir Simon Jenkins, Chairman of the National Trust, included the church in his 1999 book “England’s Thousand Best Churches”. He awarded it a maximum of 5 stars, one of only 18 to be so rated. The Holy Trinity Church features in many episodes of Michael Wood's, BBC television history series Great British Story, filmed during 2011.
A church is recorded as having been on the site since the reign of King Edward the Confessor (1042–1066). It was originally endowed by the Saxon Earl Alric, who bequeathed the patronage of the church, along with his manor at Melford Hall and about 261 acres of land, to the successive Abbots of the Benedictine Abbey of Bury St Edmund’s. There are no surviving descriptions of the original Saxon structure, although the roll of the clergy (see below) and the history of the site extend back to the 12th century.
The church was substantially rebuilt between 1467 and 1497. Of the earlier structures, only the former Lady Chapel (now the Clopton Chantry Chapel) and the nave arcades survive.
The principal benefactor who financed the reconstruction was wealthy local wool merchant John Clopton, who resided at neighbouring Kentwell Hall. John Clopton was a supporter of the Lancastrian cause during the Wars of the Roses and in 1462 was imprisoned in the Tower of London with John de Vere, 12th Earl of Oxford and a number of others, charged with corresponding treasonably with Margaret of Anjou. All of those imprisoned were eventually executed except John Clopton, who somehow made his peace with his accusers and lived to see the Lancastrians eventually triumphant at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485.
The dates of the reconstruction of the church are derived from contemporary wills, which provided endowments to finance the work
In 1710 the main tower was damaged by a lightning strike.[3] It was replaced with a brick-built structure in the 18th century and subsequently remodelled between 1898 and 1903 to its present-day appearance, designed by George Frederick Bodley in the Victorian Gothic Revival style. The new tower was closer to its original form with stone and flint facing and the addition of four new pinnacles.
The nave, at 152.6 feet (46.5 m), is believed to be the longest of any parish church in England. There are nine bays, of which the first five at the western end are believed to date from an earlier structure.
The interior is lit by 74 tracery windows, many of which retain original medieval glass. These include the image of Elizabeth de Mowbray, Duchess of Norfolk, said to have provided the inspiration for John Tenniel's illustration of the Queen of Hearts in Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
The sanctuary is dominated by the large reredos, of Caen stone and inspired by the works of Albrecht Dürer. It was installed in 1877, having been donated by the mother of the then Rector Charles Martyn.
On the north side is the alabaster and marble tomb of Sir William Cordell who was the first Patron of the Church after the dissolution of the Abbey of Bury St Edmund's in 1539. On either side of the tomb are niches containing figures that represent the four Cardinal virtues of Prudence, Justice, Temperance and Fortitude.
The sanctuary also holds one of the earliest extant alabaster bas relief panels, a nativity from the second half of the 14th century. The panel was hidden under the floor of chancel, probably early in the reign of Elizabeth I, and was rediscovered in the 18th century.[6] The panel, which may be part of an altar piece destroyed during the Reformation, includes a midwife arranging Mary's pillows and two cows looking from under her bed.
The Clopton Chapel is in the north east corner of the church. It commemorates various Clopton family members and was used by the family as a place of private worship.
The tomb of Sir William Clopton is set into an alcove here, in the north wall. An effigy of Sir William, wearing chain mail and plate armour, is set on top of the tomb. Sir William is known to have died in 1446 and it is therefore believed that this corner of the church predates the late 15th-century reconstruction. There are numerous brasses set in the floor commemorating other members of the Clopton family; two date from 1420, another shows two women wearing head attire in the butterfly style from around 1480, and a third depicts Francis Clopton who died in 1558.
There is an altar set against the east wall of the chapel and a double squint designed to provide priests with a view of the high altar when conducting Masses.
The Clopton Chantry Chapel is a small chapel at the far north east corner of the church, accessed from the Clopton Chapel. This was the original Lady Chapel and is the oldest part of the current structure. After John Clopton's death in 1497, his will made provision for the chapel to be extended and refurbished and for him to be buried alongside his wife there.[10] The chapel was then renamed, while the intended Chantry Chapel became the Lady Chapel.
The tomb of John Clopton and his wife is set in the wall leading into the chapel. Inside, the canopy vault displays faded portraits of the couple. Also displayed is a portrait of the risen Christ with a Latin text which, translated, reads Everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. A series of empty niches in the south wall most likely once held statues of saints. Around the cornice, John Lydgate's poem "Testament" is presented in the form of a scroll along the roof, while his "Lamentation of our Lady Maria" is along the west wall.
The Lady Chapel is a separate building attached to the east end of the main church. In an unusual layout, it has a central sanctuary surrounded by a pillared ambulatory, reflecting its original intended use as a chantry chapel with John Clopton's tomb in its centre. Clopton was forced to abandon this plan when his wife died before the new building was completed and consecrated; so she was buried in the former Lady Chapel and John Clopton was subsequently interred next to her.[12]
The stone carving seen in the Lady Chapel bears similarities to work at King's College Chapel, Cambridge and at Burwell Church in Cambridgeshire. It is known that the master mason employed there was Reginald Ely, the King's Mason, and although there is no documentary proof, it is believed that Ely was also responsible for the work at Holy Trinity, Long Melford.[13]
The chapel was used as a school from 1670 until the early 18th century, and a multiplication table on the east wall serves as a reminder of this use. The steep gables of the roof also date from this period.
The Martyn Chapel is situated to the south of the chancel. It contains the tombs of several members of the Martyn family, who were prominent local wool merchants in the 15th and 16th centuries, and who also acted as benefactors of the church. These include the tomb chest of Lawrence Martyn (died 1460) and his two wives. On the floor are the tomb slabs of Roger Martyn (died 1615) and his two wives Ursula and Margaret; and of Richard Martyn (died 1624) and his three wives.
Originally, the Martyn chapel contained an altar flanked by two gilded tabernacles, one displaying an image of Christ and the other an image of Our Lady of Pity. These tabernacles reached to the ceiling of the chapel, but were removed or destroyed during the English Reformation in the reign of King Edward VI.

---------------------------------------------
The setting of Holy Trinity is superlative. At the highest point and square onto the vast village green, its southern elevation is punctuated by the 16th Century Trinity Hospital almshouses. Across the green is the prospect of Melford Hall's pepperpot turrets and chimneys behind a long Tudor wall. Another great house, Kentwell Hall, is to the north. Kentwell was home to the Clopton family, whose name you meet again and again inside the church. Norman Scarfe described it as in a way, a vast memorial chapel to the family.
Holy Trinity is the longest church in Suffolk, longer even than Mildenhall, but this is because of a feature unique in the county, a large lady chapel separate from the rest of the church beyond the east end of the chancel. The chapel itself is bigger than many East Anglian churches, although it appears externally rather domestic with its triple gable at the east end. There is a good collection of medieval glass in the otherwise clear windows, as well as a couple of modern pieces, and a very mdern altarpiece at the central altar. Jacqueline's mother remembered attending Sunday School in this chapel in the 1940s.
The intimacy of the Lady Chapel is in great contrast to the vast walls of glass which stretch away westwards, the huge perpendicular windows of the nave aisles and clerestories, which appear to make the castellated nave roof float in air. An inscription in the clerestory records the date at which the building was completed as 1496. Forty years later, it would all have been much more serious. Sixty years later, it would not have been built at all. A brick tower was added in the early 18th Century, and the present tower, by GF Bodley, was encased around it in 1903. As Sam Mortlock observes, this tower might seem out of place in Suffolk, but it nevertheless matches the scale and character of the building. It is hard to imagine the church without it.
I came here back in May with my friend David Striker, who, despite living thousands of miles away in Colorado, has nearly completed his ambition to visit every medieval church in Norfolk and Suffolk. This was his first visit to Long Melford, mine only the latest of many. We stepped down into the vast, serious space.. There was a fairly considerable 19th Century restoration here, as witnessed by the vast sprawl of Minton tiles on the floor, although perhaps the sanctuary furnishings are the building's great weakness. Perhaps it is the knowledge of this that fails to turn my head eastwards, but instead draws me across to the north aisle for the best collection of medieval glass in Suffolk. During the 19th century restoration it was collected into the east window and north and south aisles, but in the 1960s it was all recollected here. Even on a sunny day it is a perfect setting for exploring it.
The most striking figures are probably those of the medieval donors, who originally would have been set prayerfully at the base of windows of devotional subjects. Famously, the portrait of Elizabeth, Duchess of Norfolk is said to have provided the inspiration for John Tenneil's Duchess in his illustrations to Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, although I'm not sure there is any evidence for this. Indeed, several of the ladies here might have provided similar inspiration.
The best glass is the pieta, Mary holding the body of Christ the Man of Sorrows. Beneath it is perhaps the best-known, the Holy Trinity represented in a roundel as three hares with their ears interlocking. An angel holding a Holy Trinity shield in an upper light recalls the same thing at Salle. Other glass includes a fine resurrection scene and a sequence of 15th Century Saints. There is also a small amount of continental glass collected in later centuries, including a most curious oval lozenge of St Francis receiving the stigmata.
Walking eastwards down the north aisle until the glass runs out, you are rewarded by a remarkable survival, a 14th century alabaster panel of the Adoration of the Magi. It probably formed part of the altar piece here, and was rediscovered hidden under the floorboards in the 18th century. Fragments of similar reliefs survive elsewhere in East Anglia, but none in such perfect condition. Beyond it, you step through into the north chancel chapel where there are a number of Clopton brasses, impressive but not in terribly good condition, and then beyond that into the secretive Clopton chantry. This beautiful little chapel probably dates from the completion of the church in the last decade of the 15th century. Here, chantry priests would have celebrated Masses for the dead of the Clopton family. The chapel is intricately decorated with devotional symbols and vinework, as well as poems attributed to John Lidgate. The beautiful Tudor tracery of the window is filled with elegant clear glass except for another great survival, a lily crucifix. This representation occurs just once more in Suffolk, on the font at Great Glemham. The panel is probably a later addition here from elsewhere in the church, but it is still haunting to think of the Chantry priests kneeling towards the window as they asked for intercessions for the souls of the Clopton dead. It was intended that the prayers of the priests would sustain the Cloptons in perpetuity, but in fact it would last barely half a century before the Reformation outlawed such practices.
You step back into the chancel to be confronted by the imposing stone reredos. Its towering heaviness is out of sympathy with the lightness and simplicity of the Perpendicular windows, and it predates Bodley's restoration. The screen which separates the chancel from the south chapel is medeival, albeit restored, and I was struck by a fierce little dragon, although photographing it into the strong south window sunshine beyond proved impossible. The brasses in the south chapel are good, and in better condition. They are to members of the Martyn family.
The south chapel is also the last resting place of Long Melford's other great family, the Cordells. Sir William Cordell's tomb dominates the space. He died in 1581, and donated the Trinity Hospital outside. His name survives elsewhere in Long Melford: my wife's mother grew up on Cordell Road, part of a council estate cunningly hidden from the High Street by its buildings on the east side.

Originally composed in 932 AH / 1525 CE and dedicated to Sultan Süleyman I ("The Magnificent"), this great work by Piri Reis (d. 962 AH / 1555 CE) on navigation was later revised and expanded. The present manuscript, made mostly in the late 11th AH / 17th CE century, is based on the later expanded version with some 240 exquisitely executed maps and portolan charts. They include a world map (fol.41a) with the outline of the Americas, as well as coastlines (bays, capes, peninsulas), islands, mountains and cities of the Mediterranean basin and the Black Sea. The work starts with the description of the coastline of Anatolia and the islands of the Aegean Sea, the Peloponnese peninsula and eastern and western coasts of the Adriatic Sea. It then proceeds to describe the western shores of Italy, southern France, Spain, North Africa, Palestine, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, western Anatolia, various islands north of Crete, Sea of Marmara, Bosporus and the Black Sea. It ends with a map of the shores of the the Caspian Sea (fol.374a).

En un odre de cristal que las olas van meciendo Isthmia se acerca a la orilla, mientras se baña de sol.
En su encaje complicado se teje la vida en tramas de belleza y de sílice que el mar lleva a la deriva.
Isthmia es un género de diatomeas que C. Agardh describió en 1832 haciendo alusión a los istmos, que sus contornos dibujan cuando varios individuos se encadenan formando estructuras ramificadas que se unen por los extremos a través una unas almohadillas de mucílago. Sus células son romboidales o trapezoidales en vista pleural y pueden formar colonias de complejas ramificaciones.
Las valvas de este género son ovaladas en vista polar (bipolares), sin distinción entre la cara valvar y el manto y al mismo tiempo heteropolares dado que uno de los polos está situado mucho más alto que otro.
Presentan un entramado silíceo masivo más o menos uniformemente desarrollado por fuera y por dentro en la especie que mostramos aquí Isthmia enervis o provista de un denso entramado interno en forma de nervios en Isthmia nervosa.
Los frústulos son ligeramente diferentes y presentan una valva notablemente más bulbosa que la otra, con un pseudocelo claramente visible en las imágenes que mostramos.
Dentro del género en el que Engler y Prantl reconocen ocho especies tanto fósiles como marinas Isthmia enervis es la forma más extendida en el Atlántico Norte y el Mediterráneo. Generalmente vive como epífito de macroalgas rojas y pardas. Muy parecida a ella, Isthmia nervosa presenta costillas longitudinales y se extiende sobre todo por las costas del Mar del Norte y el Atlántico Norte.
Las fotografías que mostramos, se han realizado en vivo a 400 aumentos con la técnicas de contraste de fase, campo oscuro, campo oscuro con palarización y contraste de interferencia y se han tomado sobre una muestra recogida a 2 metros de profundidad en la costa de la ría de Arousa el día 26 de agosto de 2025, junto a la playa de la Mexilloeira en O Grove (Pontevedra).
