LCD arm from Ergo In Demand (25-KCB-110B). I can position the monitor in my sight line no matter how I'm reclined and it doesn't interfere with the sound system.
The speakers are Gallo Reference 3s driven by a Bolder Cable modded Squeezebox 2 into a Modwright SWL 9.0 SE preamp feeding an EA modded Carver ZR1600 amplifier (plus the Gallo bass amp).

Panthéon militaire
Plusieurs hommes de guerre français reposent aux Invalides. Ainsi, pour les périodes monarchique et révolutionnaire : le maréchal de Henri de La Tour d'Auvergne, vicomte de Turenne, le cœur du maréchal de Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban, le cœur de Théophile Malo Corret de La Tour d'Auvergne, héros des guerres de la Révolution, le général François Séverin Marceau et Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle, l'auteur de La Marseillaise.
Napoléon Ier décédé en 1821 à l'Île Sainte-Hélène, y fut inhumé le 15 décembre 1840, sous la Monarchie de Juillet dont les dirigeants cherchaient à rassembler les partisans de l'empereur défunt (dans le même temps, était en effet achevé l'arc de triomphe de l'Étoile). Les cendres de Napoléon sont placées dans un monumental sarcophage en quartzite rouge aventuriné de Finlande, lui-même reposant sur un socle en marbre noir provenant de Sainte-Luce (Isère), l'ensemble étant placé dans une crypte ouverte de forme circulaire pratiquée au centre de la chapelle Saint-Louis, sous le dôme.
Son fils, le roi de Rome Napoléon II (également appelé « l'Aiglon ») y est inhumé en 1940 sur proposition d'Adolf Hitler. Joseph et Jérôme Bonaparte, frères de l'empereur, y sont également enterrés dans deux alcôves latérales. Le tombeau de Napoléon Ier est entouré par ceux des généraux d'Empire Gérard Christophe Michel Duroc et Henri Gatien Bertrand. Les restes du général Lasalle y ont été ramenés en 1891.
Plusieurs commandants en chef de la Première et Seconde Guerre mondiale sont aussi enterrés aux Invalides tels : les maréchaux de France Ferdinand Foch, Hubert Lyautey, Philippe Leclerc de Hauteclocque, Alphonse Juin et les généraux Robert Nivelle, Charles Mangin et Pierre Auguste Roques. Les gouverneurs de l'hôtel des Invalides, qui reste une place militaire, le sont également. L'amiral Émile Guépratte est enterré dans le caveau des gouverneurs.
À défaut de leurs dépouilles, plusieurs grands personnages militaires français ont seulement leur cœur inhumé aux Invalides.
And so we come to the first of the Kent churches visited this month. Well, not quite true, as the very first church I tried to enter, St Mildred's in Preston, was locked fast as usual. Being the heritage weekend as well as ride and stride, and being on the latter list, one really hoped that the church would have made an effort, it being so remote and all.
But, they put a trestle table out, placed a rock on top of the check in sheet to stop it blowing away, and left the church for the day, despite arrangements having been made by another church the day before for it to be open.
This really is not good enough.
Anyway, St Mildred's was the first of three that were locked, but I managed to gain entry to seven previously closed churches to me. So, on the whole, I was pleased.
St Nicholas is a large and imposing church, with a huge churchyard, showing that it is one of the larger and better populated parishes in the area of east Kent.
There was a warden sitting at the table in the large doorway, and after a warm welcome we entered inside.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The present parish of Ash, more than 7,000 acres in extent and one of the largest in Kent, was once only a part of the great manor of Wingham. Originally a royal manor, Wingham was given by King Athelstan of Kent to the See of Canterbury about 850 : it covered the present parishes of Ash, Goodnestone, Nonington, Wingham and parts of Staple and Womenswold.
In a list of churches probably made in 1071, in which 'Aesce' is said to belong to Wingham, mention is also made of an apparently more important church 'de Raette', as well as one at 'Fleota' belonging to the manor of Folkestone. If, as seems likely, 'de Raette' refers to Richborough, this is the only record of that church; but the chapel of Fleet, actually within the 3rd century Roman walls of Richborough Castle, continued in use until the 16th century. Leland in the time of Henry VIII wrote that 'withyn the castel is a lytle paroche Chirch of S. Augustine'.
It was believed that when St. Augustine first stepped ashore in England in 597 the impression of his foot was miraculously left upon a stone. This relic was afterwards kept in this chapel dedicated to him, and pilgrims flocked there upon the anniversary of the landing to pray and to recover their health. Excavations have uncovered the ground plan of the chapel, and confirm that it was pre-Norman in origin. Excavations in the northwest comer of the Roman fort have also, revealed the foundations and font of an even earlier church of c.400, one of the earliest Christian structures known in Britain.
By the 13th century there was another chapel in the northwest of the parish, at Overland, where complaint was made in 1294 that 'there used to be a baptistery and seven years ago it was taken away and is at Esse'. Edward Hasted, writing about 1790, said that the chapel had been 'for some time in ruins ... having been desecrated about the beginning of this century'. Its exact site has now been lost : some carved stonework which may come from it is at Knell; a few more pieces are in the church.
In 1282 Ash became a separate parish. In the deed founding a College of Canons at Wingham and dividing that parish into four, Archbishop Peckham explained, 'We have turned our eyes to the church of Wingham as it were to a fruitful vineyard..... which cannot be easily cultivated by the labours of one husbandman... from the great extent of the parish as well as its numerous population'. He assigned to Wingham parish church the chapel of Overland; to Ash he gave the chapel of Fleet. It was the duty of the canons of Wingham College, to whom the tithes of Ash were paid, to provide a vicar. In 1535 the parishioners of Ash complained: 'There has always been a vicar here to serve the cure till for the last 22 years the said Canons have usurped the vicarage to their own use ... within a quarter of a year we have had seven curates, which has caused much strife as we are 500 residents.'
In 1547 Wingham College was suppressed by Henry VIII, and its possessions forfeited to the Crown. In 1549, "the late chapel called Richborough Chapel in Ash Parish with its burial ground, buildings, lead, glass, iron, stones and tiles except the bells and leaden roof", and "the late Chapel of Overland in Ash parish next Sandwich in width 22 feet in length 34 feet, with its burial ground of half a rod, buildings, etc.", were both sold to William Hyde and Hugh Cartwright.
The right of presentation to the benefice of Ash was granted by Queen Mary to the Archbishop in 1558, and three years later Queen Elizabeth I gave the rectory - the right to the great tithes - to the See of Canterbury. The Archbishop is still the patron of the living today.
In the 19th century the need again arose for chapels in the more distant parts of the parish. In 1842 Holy Trinity Church at Ware was built, and Westmarsh was formed into a separate ecclesiastical parish in 1849. The corrugated-iron mission room of St. Augustine's, Richborough, was opened in 1888. It was followed in 1892 by a similar room at Goldstone, rebuilt in 1904. But by the 1960s the motor car had made these separate buildings less necessary. In 1967 the parish of Westmarsh was re-united with Ash; St. Augustine's, Richborough, was closed in 1969, and Holy Trinity Church in 1970.
An unusual feature of the church is the south chancel, whose axis is out of alignment with the nave. It was once supposed that this architectural oddity represented the inclined head of Christ on the Cross, but a structural fault caused by rebuilding and restoration is a more likely explanation.
(Bygone Kent, 1985, Michael David Mirams.)
In recent years the Parish of Ash with Westmarsh has been linked to the parish churches at Goodnestone and Chillenden through a united benefice. Further pastoral reorganisation in the East Bridge Deanery means that a new canonry benefice is to be formed of the parishes of Ash, Chillenden, Elmstone, Goodnestone, Preston and Wingham. This is expected to be undertaken between 2012 and 2014.
Service of Remembrance and Wreath Laying, Gloucester Cathedral, 9th November 2014.
Prior to the Service of Remembrance inside the Cathedral, a short Remembrance Service and wreath laying for the Royal Gloucestershire Hussars was held on the lower Green.
Eu tive uma sorte tremenda da loja que comprei, na liquidação ainda por cima, errou a cor dela e me mandou outra e disse que eu poderia ficar com a primeira sem custo. Adorooo!! Mas estou pensando em me desapegar de uma, não tem mais espaço aqui em casa.
