The Roman Catholic Deanery Catholic Church Telfs is located in the market town of Telfs in the district of Innsbruck-Land in Tyrol. The parish church Peter and Paul belongs to the deanery Telfs in the diocese of Innsbruck. The church is a listed building.
History
In 1113, the consecration of a chapel was recorded. The already existing longer parish was first mentioned in documents in 1233. 1331 called a document a parish church Saint George and 1352 a document a parish church Saints Peter and Paul. For the 1475 consecrated church fires for 1447, 1550 and 1552 have been recorded. The church became a deanery church in 1602, with the dean's office temporarily moving to Flaurling. An extension was consecrated in 1666.
Today's monumental twin-towered Romanesque church was built from 1860 to 1863 by architect Johann Eiter according to the plans of the road and bridge architect Leopold von Claricini-Dornpach and consecrated in 1886. The western Romanesque Petersturm (Saint Peter's Tower) and the eastern still Baroque Paulsturm (Saint Paul's Tower) were built in 1901 by the master builder Alfons Mayr according to the plans of architect Leopold Heiß from 1898.
Architecture
Interior of the church: After the demolition in 1981: Choir without organ prospectus: seating with aisle
The three-aisled cruciform basilica with a semicircular choir has two façade towers with coupled and provided with trefoil blind arch acoustic windows and pointed gable helmets. The aisles are equipped with transept arms with triangular gables. The transept arms are continued with sacristy buildings designed in the same way. The outer walls were divided by fields with round-arched frieze conclusion. The portals and windows are round-arched with laterally adjusted columns. The southern main façade with the towers has a rosette, a triangular gable with arched frieze and a statue of the Good Shepherd and shows a Nazarene lunette fresco with the appearance of the Risen Lord on the Sea of Galilee by the painter Johann Kärle (1902).
Inside the church, clustered colums and round pillars alternate with neo-Romanesque capitals. The nave, the crossing and the choir yoke have a cross vault, the transept arms barrel vaults. The main apse and side altars are half-domed vaulted. The nave has arched windows in the aisles and clerestories. In the transepts is each a circular window. In the choir, there are round-arched three- mullioned windows to the sacristies on both sides.
In 1962, with the architect Josef Lackner followed an overpainting of the wall and vault painting with bright white for a luminous interior of the church. The organ choir was transferred to the sanctuary. In the main entrance, a square baptistry was installed in the middle between the entrance doors on the left and right with glass windows and concrete crosses. The people's stood in the middle in the transept with a seating left and right and a seating in the central ship of the nave. With the paradoxical claim A future for the past, the interior of the church was renewed (back into the past) in 1981.
Equipment
The high altar crucifix from the beginning of the 19th century was transferred here from the Calvary St. Moritzen. The right side altar bears a former procession figure Saint Sebastian by the sculptor Urban Klieber from the end of the 18th century. The station pictures around 1730/1740 are from the workshop Michael Ignaz Mildorfer. At Christmas time, a wooden nativity scene by Josef Anton Puellacher from the end of the 18th century is set up.
A bell was cast in 1740 by Johann Paul Schellener.
Die römisch-katholische Dekanatspfarrkirche Telfs steht in der Marktgemeinde Telfs im Bezirk Innsbruck-Land in Tirol. Die Pfarrkirche Peter und Paul gehört zum Dekanat Telfs in der Diözese Innsbruck. Die Kirche steht unter Denkmalschutz.
Geschichte
Im Jahre 1113 wurde die Weihe einer Kapelle beurkundet. Die bereits länger bestehende Pfarre wurde 1233 erstmals urkundlich genannt. 1331 nannte eine Urkunde eine Pfarrkirche hl. Georg und 1352 eine Urkunde eine Pfarrkirche Hll. Peter und Paul. Für die 1475 geweihte Kirche wurden für 1447, 1550 und 1552 Brände genannt. Die Kirche wurde 1602 Dekanatskirche, wobei der Sitz des Dekanates zeitweise nach Flaurling wechselte. Ein Erweiterungsbau wurde 1666 geweiht.
Der heutige monumentale doppeltürmige neuromanische Kirchenbau wurde von 1860 bis 1863 vom Architekten Johann Eiter nach den Plänen des Straßen- und Brückenbaumeisters Leopold von Claricini-Dornpach erbaut und erst 1886 geweiht. Dem westlichen neuromanischen Petersturm und dem östlich noch barocken Paulsturm wurden 1901 neue einheitliche Turmabschlüsse vom Baumeister Alfons Mayr nach den Plänen des Architekten Leopold Heiß aus 1898 aufgesetzt.
Architektur
Kircheninneres: Nach dem Rückbau 1981: Chor ohne Orgelprospekt: Bestuhlung mit Mittelgang
Die dreischiffige kreuzförmige Basilika mit einem halbrund schließenden Chor hat zwei Fassadentürme mit gekoppelten und mit dreipassförmigen Blendbögen versehenen Schallfenstern und Spitzgiebelhelmen. Die Seitenschiffe sind mit Querschiffarmen mit Dreiecksgiebeln versehen. Die Querschiffarme werden mit gleich gestalteten Sakristeianbauten fortgesetzt. Die Außenwände wurden durch Felder mit Rundbogenfriesabschluss gegliedert. Die Portale und Fenster sind rundbogig mit seitlich eingestellten Säulen. Die südliche Hauptfassade mit den Türmen hat eine Rosette, einen Dreieckgiebel mit Rundbogenfries und eine Statue des Guten Hirten und zeigt ein nazarenisches Lünettenfresko mit der Erscheinung des Auferstandenen am See Genezareth des Malers Johann Kärle (1902).
Im Kircheninneren wechseln sich Bündelpfeiler und Rundsäulen mit neuromanischen Kapitellen. Das Langhaus, die Vierung und das Chorjoch haben ein Kreuzgewölbe, die Querschiffarme Tonnengewölbe. Die Hauptapsis und Seitenaltarnischen sind halbkuppelig überwölbt. Das Langhaus hat Rundbogenfenster in den Seitenschiffen und Lichtgaden. In den Querschiffen ist je ein Kreisfenster. Im Chor sind beidseits rundbogige Drillingsfenster zu den Sakristeien.
1962 erfolgte mit Architekt Josef Lackner eine Übertünchung der Wand- und Gewölbemalerei mit hellem Weiss für ein lichtvolles Kircheninneres. Der Orgelchor wurde in den Altarraum versetzt. Im Haupteingang wurde mittig zwischen den Eingangstüren links und rechts mit Glasfenstern und Betonkreuzen eine quadratische Taufkapelle eingerichtet. Der Volksaltar stand mittig im Querschiff mit einer Bestuhlung links und rechts und einer Bestuhlung im Mittelschiff des Langhauses. Mit dem paradoxen Anspruch Eine Zukunft für die Vergangenheit wurde das Kircheninnere im Jahre 1981 rückerneuert.
Ausstattung
Der Hochaltarkruzifix aus dem Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts wurde vom Kalvarienberg St. Moritzen hierher übertragen. Der rechte Seitenaltar trägt eine ehemalige Prozessionsfigur hl. Sebastian vom Bildhauer Urban Klieber aus dem Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts. Die Stationsbilder um 1730/1740 sind aus der Werkstatt Michael Ignaz Mildorfer. Zur Weihnachtszeit wird eine Bretterkrippe von Josef Anton Puellacher aus dem Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts aufgestellt.

Catharsis is the process of releasing, and thereby providing relief from, strong or repressed emotions. This is usually done through art forms such as tragedy, drama, dance, and music.
The AIDS Epidemic started in the Late 70’s and 80’s spreading through the United states leaving a trail of death, confusion, and fear while communities watched it all happen on the news. There were many public figures, activists, artists, and allies whose stories were never told and have been forgotten. When we remain silent on issues that have had significant impact on our society, it creates a fear or stigma that keeps us from understanding each other and moving forward. Through Dance and multi-media, The Catharsis Project retells these stories to fight the stigma that silence creates.

Cropredy has ancient origins, a chapel in the church is dedicated to St Fremund, an anglo-saxon saint thought to be the son of King Offa. It's name combines the Old English croppe or hill and ridig, a small stream. The village is only a few miles from Banbury, in hilly country along the banks of the River Cherwell. Before the Dissolution of the Monasteries Cropredy belonged the Bishop of Lincoln. More recently Brasenose College, Oxford, has become a significant landlord giving it's name to the local pub.
Dramatic changes to centuries of agrarian life were heralded by the excavation of the Oxford canal which runs alongside the Cherwell south-east of the church. This busy waterway was superseded by the Great Western railway, the village even had it's own station until 1956.
Unusually Cropredy retains the ringing of the curfew bell, in Medieval times this was a signal to return home and 'cover their fires'. Roger Lupton local priest between 1487 and 1528 was so lost in dense fog that he could only find his way from nearby Chacombe by the ringing of Cropredy's bells. He founded a fund in gratitude which paid for the daily winding of the clock and tolling the bell morning, noon and night. The bell is still rung Tuesday and Thursday nights for five minutes after eight O'clock.
The village is best known for the Civil War 'Battle of Cropredy Bridge'. A rare Royalist victory at a time when the Parliamentary forces were in the ascendancy. In June 1644 the King slipped out of Oxford to avoid two Roundhead armies which were rapidly approaching. At this point the Earl of Essex chose to lead his army south and relieve the siege of Lyme Regis leaving Sir William Waller to pursue the King with half of the men. Waller shadowed the Royal army to Worcester only for the King to double back towards Banbury where the Parliamentary commander saw an opportunity to split the Royal forces which were strung out along the Daventry road. Waller's artillery crossed Cropredy bridge but were too far ahead of the infantry and were overrun. Fierce fighting followed but neither side achieved a significant advantage and a chance of capturing the King was lost. As children we were told stories of a phantom drummer boy.
Cropredy's most prominent claim to fame is their music festival founded when Fairport Convention played the village fete in 1976. Cropredy Music Festival grew from these modest beginnings and now attracts over 20,000 music fans every year.
St. Mary the Virgin is an impressive building constructed from the local rust-coloured ironstone. While part of the wall of the south aisle has been dated to c1050 the present church begins in the 13th century with significant 14th and 15th century additions. The south wall has two tomb recesses thought to be built for Simon de Cropredy and his son c1200. The church has an interesting 13th century parish chest and the chapel dedicated to the anglo-saxon saint Fremund has two 15th century screens, one of which has the initials AD which may stand for Alice Danvers. The nave arcading, tower and choir arches are Perpendicular in style with no capitals and continuous moulding from ground level. The tower is early 15th century with the belfry and parapets added 80 years later, There are eight bells, six from the late 17th century, two added in 2007 called Fairport and Villager. Fragments of a Doom survive above the chancel arch. The church has a 17th century pulpit and a rare pre-reformation eagle lectern which is said to have been hidden in the river before the Battle of Cropredy where it lost one of it's lion feet. The beak has a slot for collecting 'Peter's Pence'. There is a beautiful 15th century head of the Virgin Mary in stained glass which was found in the churchyard. There are two fonts, one Norman and one Victorian. In the tower is a magnificent clock by John Moore of Clerkenwell dated 1831.
Cropredy is just off the Daventry road a few miles from Banbury about an hour from Stratford-upon-Avon.

Cremation is the combustion, vaporization and oxidation of dead bodies to basic chemical compounds, such as gases, ashes and mineral fragments retaining the appearance of dry bone. Cremation may serve as a funeral or post-funeral rite that is an alternative to the interment of an intact dead body in a coffin or casket. Cremated remains, which do not constitute a health risk, may be buried or interred in memorial sites or cemeteries, or they may be retained by relatives and dispersed in various ways. Cremation is not an alternative to a funeral, but rather an alternative to burial or other forms of disposal.
In many countries, cremation is usually done in a crematorium. Some countries, such as India and Nepal, prefer different methods, such as open-air cremation.
HISTORY
ANCIENT
Cremation dates from at least 20,000 years ago in the archaeological record, with the Mungo Lady, the remains of a partly cremated body found at Lake Mungo, Australia.
Alternative death rituals emphasizing one method of disposal of a body - inhumation (burial), cremation, or exposure - have gone through periods of preference throughout history.
In the Middle East and Europe, both burial and cremation are evident in the archaeological record in the Neolithic era. Cultural groups had their own preferences and prohibitions. The ancient Egyptians developed an intricate transmigration of soul theology, which prohibited cremation, and this was adopted widely among other Semitic peoples. The Babylonians, according to Herodotus, embalmed their dead. Early Persians practiced cremation, but this became prohibited during the Zoroastrian Period. Phoenicians practiced both cremation and burial. From the Cycladic civilisation in 3000 BC until the Sub-Mycenaean era in 1200–1100 BC, Greeks practiced inhumation. Cremation appeared around the 12th century BC, constituting a new practice of burial, probably influenced by Anatolia. Until the Christian era, when inhumation again became the only burial practice, both combustion and inhumation had been practiced, depending on the era and location. Romans practiced both, with cremation generally associated with military honors.
In Europe, there are traces of cremation dating to the Early Bronze Age (c. 2000 BC) in the Pannonian Plain and along the middle Danube. The custom becomes dominant throughout Bronze Age Europe with the Urnfield culture (from c. 1300 BC). In the Iron Age, inhumation again becomes more common, but cremation persisted in the Villanovan culture and elsewhere. Homer's account of Patroclus' burial describes cremation with subsequent burial in a tumulus, similar to Urnfield burials, and qualifying as the earliest description of cremation rites. This may be an anachronism, as during Mycenaean times burial was generally preferred, and Homer may have been reflecting the more common use of cremation at the time the Iliad was written, centuries later.
Criticism of burial rites is a common form of aspersion by competing religions and cultures, including the association of cremation with fire sacrifice or human sacrifice.
Hinduism and Jainism are notable for not only allowing but prescribing cremation. Cremation in India is first attested in the Cemetery H culture (from c. 1900 BC), considered the formative stage of Vedic civilization. The Rigveda contains a reference to the emerging practice, in RV 10.15.14, where the forefathers "both cremated (agnidagdhá-) and uncremated (ánagnidagdha-)" are invoked.
Cremation remained common, but not universal, in both Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. According to Cicero, in Rome, inhumation was considered the more archaic rite, while the most honoured citizens were most typically cremated - especially upper classes and members of imperial families.
Christianity frowned upon cremation, both influenced by the tenets of Judaism and as an attempt to abolish Graeco-Roman pagan rituals. By the 5th century, the practice of cremation had practically disappeared from Europe.
In early Roman Britain, cremation was usual but diminished by the 4th century. It then reappeared in the 5th and 6th centuries during the migration era, when sacrificed animals were sometimes included with the human bodies on the pyre, and the deceased were dressed in costume and with ornaments for the burning. That custom was also very widespread among the Germanic peoples of the northern continental lands from which the Anglo-Saxon migrants are supposed to have been derived, during the same period. These ashes were usually thereafter deposited in a vessel of clay or bronze in an "urn cemetery". The custom again died out with the Christian conversion of the Anglo-Saxons or Early English during the 7th century, when inhumation became general.
MIDDLE AGES
Throughout parts of Europe, cremation was forbidden by law, and even punishable by death if combined with Heathen rites.[6] Cremation was sometimes used by authorities as part of punishment for heretics, and this did not only include burning at the stake. For example, the body of John Wycliff was exhumed years after his death and cremated, with the ashes thrown in a river, explicitly as a posthumous punishment for his denial of the Roman Catholic doctrine of transubstantiation.
On the other hand, mass cremations were often performed out of fear of contagious diseases, such as after a battle, pestilence, or famine. Retributory cremation continued into modern times. For example, after World War II, the bodies of the 12 men convicted of crimes against humanity at the Nuremberg Trials were not returned to their families after execution, but were instead cremated, then disposed of at a secret location as a specific part of a legal process intended to deny their use as a location for any sort of memorial. In Japan, however, erection of a memorial building for many executed war criminals, who were also cremated, was allowed for their remains.
HINDUISM AND OTHER INDIAN ORIGN RELIGIONS
Religions such as Hinduism, Jainism, and Sikhism practice cremation. In Buddhism cremation is acceptable but not mandated. The founder, Shakyamuni Buddha was cremated. For Buddhist spiritual masters who are cremated, one of the results of cremation are the formation of Buddhist relics.
A dead adult Hindu is mourned with a cremation, while a dead child is typically buried. The rite of passage is performed in harmony with the Hindu religious view that the microcosm of all living beings is a reflection of a macrocosm of the universe. The soul (Atman, Brahman) is the essence and immortal that is released at the Antyeshti ritual, but both the body and the universe are vehicles and transitory in various schools of Hinduism. They consist of five elements - air, water, fire, earth and space. The last rite of passage returns the body to the five elements and origins. The roots of this belief are found in the Vedas, for example in the hymns of Rigveda in section 10.16, as follows:
Burn him not up, nor quite consume him, Agni: let not his body or his skin be scattered,
O all possessing Fire, when thou hast matured him, then send him on his way unto the Fathers.
When thou hast made him ready, all possessing Fire, then do thou give him over to the Fathers,
When he attains unto the life that waits him, he shall become subject to the will of gods.
The Sun receive thine eye, the Wind thy Prana (life-principle, breathe); go, as thy merit is, to earth or heaven.
Go, if it be thy lot, unto the waters; go, make thine home in plants with all thy members.
— Rigveda 10.16
The final rites, in case of untimely death of a child, is usually not cremation but a burial. This is rooted in Rig Veda's section 10.18, where the hymns mourn the death of the child, praying to deity Mrityu to "neither harm our girls nor our boys", and pleads the earth to cover, protect the deceased child as a soft wool.
SATI
The act of sati refers to a funeral ritual in which a widowed woman committed suicide on the husband's funeral pyre. While a mention of self-immolation by one of several wives of an Indian king is found in a Greek text on India, along with self-immolation by widows in Russia near Volga, tribes of Thracians in southeast Europe, and some tribes of Tonga and Fiji islands, vast majority of ancient texts do not mention this practice. Rare mentions of such cremations in aristocratic circles appear in texts dated to be before the 9th century AD, where the widow of a king had the choice to burn with him or abstain. Ancient texts of Hinduism make no mention of Sati; its early medieval era texts forbid it, while post 10th century medieval era texts partly justify it and criticize the practice. The practice of sati, grew after 1000 CE, becoming a particularly significant practice by Hindus in India during the Islamic wars of conquest in South Asia.
This practice was made illegal in 1829 during the British colonial rule of India. After gaining independence from British colonial era, India passed a series of additional laws. The Indian Sati Prevention Act from 1988 further criminalised any type of aiding, abetting, and glorifying of sati. In modern India, the last known case of Sati was in 1987, by Roop Kanwar in Rajasthan. Her action was found to be a suicide, and it led to the arrest and prosecution of people for failing to act and prevent her suicide during her husband's cremation.
BALI
Balinese Hindu dead are generally buried inside the container for a period of time, which may exceed one month or more, so that the cremation ceremony (Ngaben) can occur on an auspicious day in the Balinese-Javanese Calendar system ("Saka"). Additionally, if the departed was a court servant, member of the court or minor noble, the cremation can be postponed up to several years to coincide with the cremation of their Prince. Balinese funerals are very expensive and the body may be interred until the family can afford it or until there is a group funeral planned by the village or family when costs will be less. The purpose of burying the corpse is for the decay process to consume the fluids of the corpse, which allows for an easier, more rapid and more complete cremation.
ISLAM
Islam strictly forbids cremation. Islam has specific rites for the treatment of the body after death.

This is a striking Bembecine Sand Wasp (genus Steniolia, Bembicini, Apoidea, Hymenoptera) working one of the first flowers of native Fort Tejon Milk-Aster aka Chicory-leaved Stephanomeria (Stephanomeria cichoriacea, Asteraceae).

This one plant has flowers, but most plants have small buds that don't look like they'll mature. I hope I'm wrong about that. These summer flowers are all important in our summer-dry climate.

It was not too hot today, but quite breezy in the morning from the south again. We're still down for a 20% chance of showers and thunderstorms tomorrow. My grandkids are also coming down from Portland, Oregon tomorrow to stay with us for a week or more. That's cool - but it may change my photos for the week!
The intent is not for Paul to eat all of this ... I’m sending all of this so that Paul will have an Easter basket, but also so that the other sailors who won’t receive baskets will also get to share in the goodies. When I sent Paul’s Girl Scout Cookies to him (12 boxes of Thin Mints), he shared with bunches of sailors, and still had plenty for himself.
The back-story:
During my first year of college, my roommate (Sherri) and I decided to stay in DuBois for the weekend instead of coming home (a whole 20 miles one way!) — we each had big reports due within a few days after Easter, and decided that we really *should* work on them instead of waiting until the very last minute, and we knew that we wouldn’t work on them if we went home for the weekend (at least we were honest with ourselves about that). Easter Sunday we went to church and then went out to eat (Hoss’s) and returned to our apartment. Shortly after we returned, there was a knock on the door, and when we opened it up, there was a large wicker laundry basket with a card on top that had my name. The Easter Bunny didn’t forget me. Now, in the laundry basket was everything a college girl needs --- Tuna Helper, cans of tuna, shampoo, conditioner, panty hose, bubble bath, perfume, jewelry, ramen noodles, macaroni and cheese, candy, hair ribbons, barrettes, etc. Mom, Aunt Edna and cousin Mandy came out from around the stairwell at that point, and we had a nice visit for about an hour before the went back to Clearfield.
The next year, as Easter was approaching, Sherri was telling our new roommate (Laramie) about the basket that I got the year before. Sherri and I again stayed Easter weekend so that we could work on projects that would soon be due, and also to keep Laramie company — she was from Philadelphia, and it wasn’t feasible for her to return to Philly and back over the weekend. Sure enough, there was a knock on the door, and there were Easter Baskets on the porch — this year, smaller baskets, but one for each of us! Again they held things that college girls needed, including many items mentioned above, and more! This time we hadn’t gone out to church/lunch, so Mom, Aunt Jean, Irene (Renie) and we three girls all piled into the car (thank goodness Mom drove a land-boat!) and went out to lunch.
While I can’t hand-deliver large baskets, I hope to carry on this ‘tradition’ for Paul.

Vishakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, INDIA..Children pose for photograph inside the Anganwadi centre. .The One Full Meal is a state government programme that aims at improving the nutrient intake of pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers and reducing the prevalence and severity of maternal anemia. The programme reaches over 350,000 pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers across some 26,000 anganwadi centres (about 30 per cent of ICDS projects in state) located in villages where malnutrition rates are high. Some 7,600 (29 per cent) of these anganwadi centres are located in hard to reach Adivasi villages. UNICEF aids this ICDS programme with training officials, development and capacity building in aganwadis.One Full Meal entitles pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers to receive a free nutritious meal every day between 11 am and 2 pm at the village anganwadi centre 25 days per month. The hot-cooked meal - prepared daily by the anganwadi helper - contains 125 grams of cereal, 30 grams of pulses, 50 grams of green leafy vegetables, 50 grams of egg and 200 ml of milk, and provides 1052 kilocalories, 33 grams of protein, and about 500 mg of calcium (i.e. about 40 per cent of the daily requirement of these nutrients). After the meal, the women who participate in the programme receive on-the-spot iron and folic acid supplements for the control of iron deficiency and anemia, are counseled by the anganwadi worker on how to improve their dietary intake and nutrition, and are encouraged to use the services provided at the monthly Village Health and Nutrition Day. The anganwadi worker keeps a record of the women who are enrolled in the programme, the services they receive, the weight they gain during pregnancy and the weight of their children at birth.

Star trek III, The Search for Spock
There is a wisdom as old as time that says "There is no such thing as a good odd-numbered Star Trek movie." While we could get bogged down in arguing minutiae, I would rectify that statement and say that there is no great odd-numbered Trek film, but there are at least two good ones, and the best of the odd-numbered Treks is arguably Star Trek III: The Search for Spock.
Forming the middle portion of a trilogy with Wrath of Khan and The Voyage Home, Search for Spock picks up immediately after the events of Khan, with the Enterprise crew still mourning the loss of their former Captain Spock (Leonard Nimoy). Upon returning to space dock, the crew is given a commendation and extended shore leave (except poor Scotty, who has to report to the new Excelsior engine room to help with their transwarp drive). The crew is resigned to the fact that the Enterprise, being over twenty years old, is going to be decommissioned, but a visit from Spock's father Sarek (Mark Lenard) leads Kirk (William Shatner) to believe that while Spock's body may be dead, his consciousness is alive in someone else... Dr. McCoy (DeForest Kelley).
Kirk and a skeleton crew (Scotty, Sulu, Chekov & Bones) set out in the Enterprise to return to the Genesis planet and retrieve Spock's body, in hopes of returning it to Vulcan. What they have yet to find out, however, is that Lt. Saavik (Robin Curtis) & Kirk's son David Marcus (the unfortunately named Merritt Butrick) have discovered, on Genesis, that Spock has been reborn as a child. Further complications arise when a Klingon ship, commanded by Kruge (Christopher Lloyd) gets wind of the failed Genesis project and travels there in hopes of stealing the technology for the Klingons.
Okay, we need to get this out of the way immediately; The Search for Spock is not a very good film, even by Star Trek standards. It suffers from horrendous budget restrictions which first time director Nimoy couldn't shoot around as well as his predecessor, Nicholas Meyer. A lot of the recycled sets & costumes look terrible, and really distract on the 2009 blu-ray high def transfer. It's likewise hindered by being sandwiched between arguably the two best Star Trek films ever made, and can't help but feel like a trifle compared to the other two. It's got more substance than I remember it having, but the stakes are relatively low from beginning to end, and the sense of danger imposed by Khan in the previous film is just not met by the Klingons in this film.
All that being said, the film is actually much better than I remember it being, if for no other reason than the script is actually surprisingly well written. The dialogue and interplay, particularly between the Enterprise crew is as good as it's been in any of the films, and the humor throughout (much of it by, or at the expense of, Bones) is pretty reliably funny. The two truly emotional moments in the film (Kirk learning of the death of David & Spock's recognition of Kirk at the end) still land incredibly well and make up for some of the more ridiculous acting choices made by the other actors throughout the entire film.
William Shatner, the actor, was never better than he was in these three films. His moment I mentioned a moment ago, learning of the death of his only son, is very powerful and as good as he's ever been on screen. He also appears to be having a good deal of fun in this film, which is odd considering he was unhappy at having to be directed by his co-star (all of which led to Shatner taking the helm of arguably the worst Star Trek film not directed by JJ Abrams, Star Trek V: The Final Frontier). The rest of the crew is good as well, of course all resigned to one or two bits (one of the few lessons Abrams & his writers wrongly incorporated from the original films).
Lloyd is also nowhere near as bad as I remember him to be. His casting is ridiculous, to be sure, but he's not quite as bad in actuality as I seemed to have thought he was. Curtis, taking over the role of Saavik from Kirstie Alley, though, doesn't fare as well. Granted she's not given much to do, but her line readings are spotty at best and she's not terribly convincing as a Vulcan. Beyond some ridiculous stunt work in the final fight between Kruge & Kirk on the dying Genesis planet, there's really not much else bad I can say about the film.
Star Trek III is a fairly lightweight effort in the Trek canon, but it still manages to have far more good moments than bad, and is ultimately a genuinely enjoyable entry in the series. It has its flaws, to be sure, and they are numerous, but it still manages to be solidly entertaining and never insulting in the way some of the other odd numbered Trek films were. It can't help but pale in comparison to the two films bookending it, but I wholeheartedly recommend checking it out, particularly if it's been a while since you've seen it. It holds up much better than you might remember.

Hengill is a large volcanic mountain and geothermal area in southwest Iceland, located between Reykjavík, Þingvellir, and Hveragerði. Rising to 803 metres above sea level, it is one of the country's most active volcanic systems, with extensive geothermal fields, lava landscapes, hot springs, and steaming valleys. The area has experienced numerous volcanic eruptions throughout Iceland's history and is home to the geothermal power plants at Hellisheiði Power Station and Nesjavellir Geothermal Power Station, which supply much of the capital region with electricity and hot water.
This is a photograph from the second annual running of The Downs National School Valentines 5KM Road Race and Fun run which was held at The Downs GAA club, Mullingar, Co. Westmeath on Sunday February 9th 2013 at 12:00. The race was held as a fundraiser for the Downs National School. This is a very important fundraiser for the Downs National School new building project and the parents, teachers, and friends of the Downs National School and the neighbouring community are to be congratulated with the fabulous road race and social event that they organised. There was a great family atmosphere at the event and there was a very plentiful spread of refreshments afterwards in the Clubhouse. The event has grown strongly in it's second year. Community spirit was very evident. The Downs is part of the geographically very large parish of Kinnegad, Coralstown, and Clonard and there were many local participants from the parish. Well over 400 people took part in the event. The stormy wet weather of late cleared off. Whilst there was a strong headwind on the course for the final kilometer all in all the weather was very suitable for running.
The Downs is situated just off the M4 between Kinnegad and Mullingar and is accessed from Junction/Exit 14 on the M4 and following the R156.
The race starts on the Cloghan road (this is about 1KM from the GAA Clubhouse) and proceeds clock-wise around a circuit which takes in the main Killucan road. The race passes by the finish/race-hq on it's first loop. The road surface is a mixture of standard tarmacadam and gravel trail around by the forestry. Overall, the course is flat with just two very small hills for runners to content with. The course was very accurately measured and well marshalled.
The race is Athletics Association of Ireland approved. Timing was provided by Precision Timing who, as always, provided excellent timing and event management services on their day. Their website (with results from today's race) is available at: www.precisiontiming.net/result/racetimer
We captured a large set of photographs from the race today. The full set of photographs are available in the following Flickr set: www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157640695491875/

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!

Nine million in Lima, rush hour is not the time to figure out a way back to the airport. Fortunately, We found a young college student who spoke English. She quickly called us an Uber which pulled up on the crowded sidewalk. No account was necessary as a predetermined cash payment was quoted in advance. Next time we will pay the limo driver to wait for our return trip to the airport hotel. We did not have any other problems in the city, but it was real apparent that we were no longer in Kansas, if you know what I mean.
This is the view looking into the building seen in the previous three photos. I shot this from the doorway--I definitely did not feel like stepping inside, as in real life this looked a lot darker. Unquestionably the creepiest location I've ever photographed. View large on black.

Giardini Naxos is a comune in the Province of Messina on the island of Sicily in Italy. It is situated on the coast of the Ionian Sea on a bay which lies between Cape Taormina and Cape Schisò. Today it is a popular seaside-resort.Founded by Thucles the Chalcidian in 734 BC, Naxos was never a powerful city, but its temple of Apollo Archegetes, protecting deity of all the Greek colonies, gave it prominence in religious affairs. Leontini and Catania were both colonized from here. Hippocrates, tyrant of Gela, captured it in 494 BC. Its opposition to Syracuse ultimately led to its capture and destruction in 403 BC at the hands of Dionysius the tyrant, after it had supported Athens during that city's disastrous Sicilian Expedition. Though the site continued to be inhabited, most activity shifted to neighbouring Tauromenium.In 1544, following the raids by Turkish corsair, Barbarossa Kheir-ed-Din, several military buildings were constructed to protect Cape Schisò from the Barbary pirates who continued to attack and plunder the coastal villages. These were Schisò Castle which was rebuilt from an earlier 13th century castle, Schisò fort, and Vignazza Tower. The latter is a quadrangular watchtower which served to patrol the coast south of Port Schisò; if any pirate boats were sighted, the observers inside the tower could alert the villagers and neighbouring watchtowers by sending out smoke signals. Vignazza Tower is located in the Recanati area of Giardini Naxos, but is not open to the public.Prior to the early 1970s, Giardini Naxos was a quiet fishing village. Now it is a popular tourist destination, famous for its beaches, panoramic view of the bay and surrounding hills, and its small, but bustling fishing port. It attracts foreign visitors and Italians alike, many of whom own summer residences in the comune. The seafront, Via Tysandros, is lined with hotels, smaller pensions, pubs, restaurants and pizzerias.
Giardini-Naxos è un comune di 9.152 abitanti della provincia di Messina. Anticamente chiamata Nasso, dista 39 km da Messina e 40 da Catania.Nell'attuale collocazione di Giardini-Naxos, presso Capo Schisò, nel 734 a.C. dei coloni calcidesi fondarono quello che è da tutti ritenuto il primo insediamento greco in Sicilia. Alla nuova colonia venne attribuito il nome di Naxos come l'omonima isola nel Mar Egeo. Nonostante rimase un centro di modeste dimensioni mantenne il suo valore simbolico, in quanto venne eretto un altare in onore di Apollo Archegetes, questo era il punto di partenza degli ambasciatori greci in ritorno alla madrepatria. Durante la Guerra del Peloponneso Naxos si schierò con Atene, ma quando nel 403 a.C. la spedizione militare ateniese in Sicilia fallì, il tiranno siracusano Dionigi il Vecchio la fece radere al suolo e fece costruire sull'altura sovrastante Tauromenion (Taormina). Il territorio venne donato ai Siculi e gli abitanti furono venduti come schiavi. Il nome Naxos permase nel tempo anche in epoca romana e nell'Itinerario Antonino del III secolo d.C. viene citato come località per lo scambio di cavalli lungo la strada consolare in direzione Siracusa. Nel periodo bizantino sulle spoglie della colonia greca si andò a formare un piccolo centro abitato, questo diventò l'approdo strategico per la vicina Taormina. Il periodo di dominio arabo ha lasciato numerosi toponimi come quello del vicino fiume Alcantara o dello stesso Capo Schisò.

There is always a bit of adjustment for me when I come home from a big trip. I go back to my normal sketchbook (A5 Stillman and Birn Alpha) and for some reason in the last 6 months this every day book has now become a lot more casual. It is more about recording my first impressions or experiments and less about creating 'good sketches'. More of a working book and less as a finished work of art.
This morning visit to Balmoral was all about casing the joint for my upcoming class in Mosman. First week - this coming Wednesday we will be here at Balmoral - please contact me if you would like to join for one week or all four weeks. We will be covering similar content to what we did in my Manly sketching class in May/June but this time in a different suburb. I can't wait- I am sure it will be lots of fun!
I started my short 2,5 hour visit with morning tea (late breakfast) at Bathers Pavilion ( very nice but don't normally eat at fancy ($) places like this on a regular basis) and then went outside and onto the beach on a lovely winters day- 24C!
The little island between Balmoral and Edwards Beach, called Rocky Point, has some special significance for me - I designed my first year university architecture project here (it was a little house for myself right on the point and was inspired by the rocks) and when I worked in Mosman (for 9 years) I used to escape at lunchtime here (either walk down and up the big hill or drive down) I wasn't trying to do a definitive sketch of it today but rather just making a few visual notes. As you can see I did a lot of quick sketches today. The larger sketchbook is an old Jasart Premium Sketchbook which I want to use up and is my 'class sketchbook'. Used to use this type of sketchbook all the time - 150 gsm cartridge…but just don't like the paper anymore. Sand was being blown into my sketch and water/paint blown off my brush at times!
Ah! It was so good to great out for a little sketching today and even better to be able to take my winter boots off and get my feet in the sand and the water and soak up some sun at the beach! Why oh why, don't I do it more often????
This is a photograph from the Lucan Harriers Athletic Club "Tom Byrne Memorial" 5KM Road Race and fun run which was held in Lucan, Co. Dublin, Ireland on Sunday 11th May 2014 at 11:00. The race invited runners, joggers and walkers of all levels including those training for the Women's Mini Marathon, Parkrunners and Fit4Life Groups. The weekly PARKRUN which is held in Griffen (www.parkrun.ie/griffeen/) was cancelled this weekend to allow runners to take part in this race instead. The race started outside SuperValue Lucan. Passing by the Lucan Harriers Club House the race proceeded into Griffeen Park where the participants completed about 2.5KM of the course before returning back on the road to the finish on the Lucan Harriers track. Thankfully the unseasonally cold and wet weather didn't dampen the atmosphere and over 200 people participated in the event. Well done again to all at Lucan Harriers AC for a superbly organised 5KM event. The race commemorates one of the founding members of Lucan Harriers AC - Tom Byrne.
We have an extensive set of photographs from today in the following Flickr Album: www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157644652669113/

The majority of this race is run within Griffeen Valley Park which is managed by South Dublin County Council. The entire Park consists of over 200 acres. Griffeen was developed during the 1980s and comprised of a series of public open spaces from around the Lucan area. The River Griffeen flows through the park as it flows to meet the River Liffey in Lucan Village.

Hollywood Land is a themed land at Disney California Adventure park at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California. The area is inspired by the 1930s Golden Age period of Hollywood and hosts attractions themed to this concept, including a backlot of a typical Hollywood studio. The land opened as Hollywood Pictures Backlot with the park in 2001.
The land's entrance once had towering studio gates that featured intricately carved elephants atop massive columns. The gateway was a tribute to the spectacular epics made throughout Hollywood history, especially pioneering director D. W. Griffith's 1916 silent film Intolerance. After the park's re-design, the archway sign, elephants and columns were removed, whereas the repainted pedestals remained.
The 3-D attraction, Muppet*Vision 3D opened with the park in 2001, the thrill attraction The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror opened in 2004, and Monsters, Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue, based on the Disney·Pixar film Monsters, Inc., opened in 2006 as part of the resort's Happiest Homecoming on Earth. The Red Car Trolley attraction, based on the Pacific Electric Railway, runs through the streets of Hollywood Land and neighboring Buena Vista Street.

This is a photograph from finish of the fourth annual running of the AON Mullingar Half Marathon which was held on Saturday 17th March 2019 (St. Patrick's Day Lá Fhéile Pádraig 2018) in Mullingar, Co. Westmeath, Ireland at 10:30. This photograph was taken at at the 13 mile mark in the home straight within Mullingar Town Park. Following on from the incredible success of the first three years of the race this year the total numbers participating rose from just under 600 in 2015, 900 in 2016, over 1200 in 2017 and yet again over 1200 this year. Proceeds raised by the AON Mullingar Half Marathon will go directly to T.E.A.M (Temporary Emergency Accommodation Midlands) finding safe & secure accommodation for homeless women and children. The roots of the successs of the event last year was the excellent organisation and a very flat and fast route. All of these characteristics were repeated this year except for the weather. This was a bitterly cold day with air temperatures struggling to get above 4C and a severe wind chill from an easterly breeze making it for very difficult running conditions. Indeed the race could be described as a race of two halves in terms of weather. The first half participants had the strong, cold easterly wind at their faces. However, turning for home along the Royal Canal this became a very strong tailwind for 4 - 5 miles from around Flynn's Machinery/Junction 14 M4. Participants travelled from all over Ireland with a very large participation from runners around Mullingar and the midlands. The race has an AAI permit. The course reverted to its original route this year. Last year saw a small change to the course configuration when the race crossed the M4 Motorway at The Downs via a winding pedestrian footbridge. This was not included this year.
The race began on Pearse Street/Austin Friar's Street in the town and proceeds North East out of the town to the N52 Delvin/Dundalk road towards Lough Sheever. The course then follows beautiful rural country roads out to The Downs at the M4. The only significant hill or rise on the course occurs here at about 7 miles when runners cross a pedestrian footbridge over the M4 near Junction 14 Thomas Flynn and Sons The Downs. The race then joins the now local access route of the old N4 road and then joins the Royal Canal at Great Down. The remainder of the race follows the Royal Canal back westward to Mullingar town. The towpath on the Canal is perfectly flat and in excellent condition. Runners will notice how the level of the canal changes dramatically along the route - at points the canal is level with the towpath. In other places the canal is at least 3 meters lower than the canal path. However the path is perfectly flat and firm the whole way. The course then leaves the Royal Canal at the Ardmore Road/Millmount area of the town and finishes in the Mullingar Town Park on Austin Friar's Street beside the Annebrook Hotel. The park provides a very nice setting for the finish of the race and runners and their families can mix and congregate around the finish area and the hotel.

The church is the the first ermita to be established in the Philippines. Its first makeshift parochial buildings were built in 1601. There are no records on who built the stone church that was probably completed in 1629. This was damaged during the 1645 and 1658 earthquakes, repaired and improved in 1659, damaged again during the 1754 earthquake, ransacked by the invading British in 1762, damaged again in the earthquakes of 1850 and 1863, until finally collapsing during the 1880 tremor. The church was rebuilt in 1882, occupied by Gen. Pio del Pilar's troops in 1898, razed by fire in 1899, and used as a Japanese garrison during World War II. The church was again demolished after the war to provide materials for the reconstruction of the Manila Cathedral. It was rebuilt until 1972 and further restored in 1983 until 1995.

This is Norwich Cathedral.
I walked most of the way around. Went past the modern looking bit built on the ruins, and around to the back.
Norwich Cathedral on Wikipedia
Norwich Cathedral is a Church of England cathedral built in Norwich, Norfolk, dedicated to the Holy and Undivided Trinity.
The cathedral was started in 1096 and constructed out of flint and mortar and faced with a cream coloured Caen limestone. A Saxon settlement and two churches were demolished to make room for the buildings. The building was finished in 1145 and had the fine Norman tower, that we see today, topped with a wooden spire covered with lead. Several periods of damage caused rebuilding to the nave and spire but after many years the building was much as we see it now, from the final erection of the stone spire in 1480.
The large cloister has over 1,000 bosses including several hundred carved and ornately painted ones. The buildings are on the lowest part of the Norwich river plain and surrounded on three sides by hills and an area of scrubland, Mousehold heath, to the fourth and North direction. This means that the Cathedral could be seen from just about any location in the city.
It is also one of the Norwich 12 heritage sites.
It is Grade I listed.

Danielle is now working at Studio Gallo Blu, which is a little art studio slash cafe slash gelato place down in St. Charles, and Danielle is very pretty. Fortunately, she mostly works when I am also stuck at work, and St. Charles is a nontrivial drive from the city, so it shouldn't be too bad.
After hanging out with Danielle and eating too much gelato, I went to 2720 for a burlesque show to raise some funds for Lola van Ella and the Hoochie Coochie Girls to go to New Orleans. Eventually, I will process and post the pictures from that show.
Next event is September 18th at Mayfair Mall & goes from 10am - 4pm. Come down to meet a Super Hero & get your photo taken with them for a donation to the BC Children's Hospital Foundation.
Every person who donates & gets their photo taken is eligible to win the Super Hero pack filled with awesome items for the whole family AND a custom made Super Hero costume made for them by Mark Ashfield in time for Halloween! This is a one of a kind prize and the costume will be of top Hollywood grade - not a cheap costume!
Some of the organizations we'd like to help are:
- BC Children's Hospital Foundation (all funds from this year's Justice League FUNdraiser will go to this charity)
- Ending Child Abuse
- KidSport Canada

This is my first carved chest it's about 30" long ,16" high and 12" deep . I really liked the interlocking ring design on the lid . It was a bit of a pain to carve though . It's hand carved with traditional wood carving tools . Heck , the chest was built with traditional with wood working tools . It has hand made dovetails and even the beading on the molding was done with a molding hand plane . I do use a table saw to cut the boards to length for some projects though . The design on the front is original , but closely based on a medieval design . So don't blame a medieval artist for my bad art work , his was better . I just stole various elements .

This is my beautiful baby sister <3
(Sorry for the lack of Photoshop, but i don't dare to retouch my sister, at least not yet. i wanted you to see her as she is u.u).
Anyway! She was born on May 2nd, a quarter to eleven pm. We were having dinner and mom started having contractions too many times. They told me when they got to the hospital, she was screaming like mad, and all those kids who were there got scared lol. She entered there at ten, and 45 minutes after that, Esme came. My friends and i agreed to call her Esme, like the Twilight character :)
I'm going to make sure she has as many photos as possible from her childhood, so you can be sure i'll upload many photos of her. <3
So, hope you've been doing great, and have an awesome day. :)
Do not publish my photos without my permission.
Situated east of the Imperial Valley agricultural region, the Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area is bordered to the west by the Coachella Canal, a waterway diverting Colorado River water to fertile agricultural lands further north. A major east-west route of the Union Pacific railroad skirts its eastern edge, a time-worn testament to the impediment the dunes once played to travel between San Diego and Phoenix.
The dune system consists of three areas. The northernmost area is known as Mammoth Wash. This open area allows OHV use and offers a more isolated experience.
South of Mammoth Wash is the North Algodones Dunes Wilderness. Established in 1994, this area is closed to all mechanized traffic, so access is by foot or on horseback only. Here you will find endless miles of quiet solitude.
The southernmost boundary of the Wilderness is State Highway 78; just south of this highway the largest and most heavily used dunes are found. With some restrictions, these primary dunes may be traveled south toward the Mexican border.

Inle Lake (Burmese: အင်းလေးကန်, pronounced: [ʔɪ́ɴlé kàɴ]) is a freshwater lake located in the Nyaungshwe Township of Taunggyi District of Shan State, part of Shan Hills in Myanmar (Burma). It is the second largest lake in Myanmar with an estimated surface area of 116 km2, and one of the highest at an elevation of 880 m. During the dry season, the average water depth is 2.1 m, with the deepest point being 3.7 m, but during the rainy season this can increase by 1.5 m.
The watershed area for the lake lies to a large extent to the north and west of the lake. The lake drains through the Nam Pilu or Balu Chaung on its southern end. There is a hot spring on its northwestern shore.
Although the lake is not large, it contains a number of endemic species. Over twenty species of snails and nine species of fish are found nowhere else in the world. Some of these, like the silver-blue scaleless Sawbwa barb, the crossbanded dwarf danio, and the Lake Inle danio, are of minor commercial importance for the aquarium trade. It hosts approximately 20,000 brown and black head migratory seagulls in November, December and January.
In June 2015, it becomes the Myanmar's first designated place of World Network of Biosphere Reserves. It was one of 20 places added at at the Unesco's 27th Man and the Biosphere (MAB) International Coordinating Council (ICC) meeting.
PEOPLE AND CULTURE
The people of Inle Lake (called Intha), some 70,000 of them, live in four cities bordering the lake, in numerous small villages along the lake's shores, and on the lake itself. The entire lake area is in Nyaung Shwe township. The population consists predominantly of Intha, with a mix of other Shan, Taungyo, Pa-O (Taungthu), Danu, Kayah, Danaw and Bamar ethnicities. Most are devout Buddhists, and live in simple houses of wood and woven bamboo on stilts; they are largely self-sufficient farmers.
Most transportation on the lake is traditionally by small boats, or by somewhat larger boats fitted with single cylinder inboard diesel engines. Local fishermen are known for practicing a distinctive rowing style which involves standing at the stern on one leg and wrapping the other leg around the oar. This unique style evolved for the reason that the lake is covered by reeds and floating plants making it difficult to see above them while sitting. Standing provides the rower with a view beyond the reeds. However, the leg rowing style is only practiced by the men. Women row in the customary style, using the oar with their hands, sitting cross legged at the stern.
Fish caught from the lake - the most abundant kind is called nga hpein locally (Inle carp, Cyprinus intha) - are a staple of the local diet. A popular local dish is htamin gyin - 'fermented' rice kneaded with fish and/or potato - served with hnapyan gyaw (literally twice fried - Shan tofu). In addition to fishing, locals grow vegetables and fruit in large gardens that float on the surface of the lake. The floating garden beds are formed by extensive manual labor. The farmers gather up lake-bottom weeds from the deeper parts of the lake, bring them back in boats and make them into floating beds in their garden areas, anchored by bamboo poles. These gardens rise and fall with changes in the water level, and so are resistant to flooding. The constant availability of nutrient-laden water results in these gardens being incredibly fertile. Rice cultivation is also significant.
Hand-made goods for local use and trading are another source of commerce. Typical products include tools, carvings and other ornamental objects, textiles, and cheroots. A local market serves most common shopping needs and is held daily but the location of the event rotates through five different sites around the lake area, thus each of them hosting an itinerant market every fifth day. When held on the lake itself, trading is conducted from small boats. This 'floating-market' event tends to emphasize tourist trade much more than the other four.
The Inle lake area is renowned for its weaving industry. The Shan-bags, used daily by many Burmese as a tote-bag, are produced in large quantities here. Silk-weaving is another very important industry, producing high-quality hand-woven silk fabrics of distinctive design called Inle longyi. A unique fabric from the lotus plant fibers is produced only at Inle lake and is used for weaving special robes for Buddha images called kya thingahn (lotus robe).
ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS
Inle Lake is suffering from the environmental effects of increased population and rapid growth in both agriculture and tourism. During the 65-year period from 1935 to 2000, the net open water area of Inle Lake decreased from 69.10 km² to 46.69 km², a loss of 32.4%, with development of floating garden agriculture, which occurs largely on the west side of the lake (a practice introduced in the 1960s).
Lumber removal and unsustainable cultivation practices (slash and burn farming techniques) on the hills surrounding the lake are causing ever-increasing amounts of silt and nutrients to run off into the rivers that feed the lake, especially along its western and northern watershed areas. This silt fills up the lake; the nutrients encourage the growth of weeds and algae. More important however is the development of floating garden agriculture, largely along the western side of the lake. This practice encroaches into the diminishing area of the lake, since over time, the floating beds become solid ground. About 93% (nearly 21 km²) of the recent loss in open water area of the lake, largely along its western side, is thought to be due to this agricultural practice. Direct environmental impacts associated with these combined agricultural activities within the wetlands and surrounding hills of the lake include sedimentation, eutrophication, and pollution.
The water hyacinth, a plant not native to the lake, also poses a major problem. It grows rapidly, filling up the smaller streams and large expanses of the lake, robbing native plants and animals of nutrients and sunlight. At one time, all boats coming into Nyaung Shwe were required to bring in a specified amount of water hyacinth. Over the past twenty years, large-scale use of dredges and pumps has been employed with some success in controlling the growth of this plant. On a smaller scale, public awareness education and small-scale control have also been successful.
Another cause for concern is the planned introduction of non-native fish species, such as the Grass Carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella)] intended to improve fishery.
Sanitation in the villages around the lake is an ongoing concern for public health authorities, due to untreated sewage (with 72% of households using open pits, not latrines) and waste water flowing into the lake. To ensure fresh and clean water, some villages now have enclosed wells and public access to the well water. Some studies of the lake's surface
water quality indicates that the water is not safe for consumption. Water from Inle Lake has dissolved oxygen ranges lower than those necessary for fisheries and aquatic life, while nitrite, nitrate and phosphate ranges are unusually high.
Noise pollution is also a noticeable issue. The noise from the cheaper poorly muffled diesel engines driving the stern drive propellers is significant, and can be a distraction to the otherwise tranquil lake.
The summer of 2010 registered very high temperatures causing the water level of the lake to drop so low, the lowest in nearly 50 years, that drinking water had to be fetched from elsewhere and the floating market was in danger of disappearing. One other serious consequence was that the hydroelectric plant at Lawpita, where the former capital Yangon received its power supply from, could not operate at its full capacity.
TOURISM
The best time of the year to visit is during September and October. The ceremonial Hpaung Daw U Festival, which lasts for almost three weeks, is closely followed by the Thadingyut festival of lights. Inthas and Shan turn out in their best clothes in great numbers to celebrate the Buddhist Lent. Traditional boat racing, with dozens of leg-rowers in Shan dress in a team on each boat, is a famous event during the Hpaung Daw U Festival.
Inle Lake is a major tourist attraction, and this has led to some development of tourist infrastructure. Many small and large privately owned hotels and tour operations have arisen during the past few years. Local shops are flooded with consumer items, both local and foreign. The nearest airport is Heho Airport which is 35 km away. There are flights from both Yangon and Mandalay. Yangon is 660 km away by road, Mandalay 330 km.
CUISINE
Inle cuisine is different from Shan cuisine, as it incorporates local natural produce. The most well-known Inle dish would be the Htamin jin - a rice, tomato and potato or fish salad kneaded into round balls dressed and garnished with crisp fried onion in oil, tamarind sauce, coriander and spring onions often with garlic, Chinese chives roots (ju myit), fried whole dried chili, grilled dried fermented beancakes (pè bouk) and fried dried tofu (topu jauk kyaw) on the side.

This is a scratch-built model of my grandfather's Vespa Garage in Wing Hing Street, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong 1950s. I only used very limited photos as the reference to create this model.
This is one of my most unique model I have ever created because it is based on my family's history. I try to bring back the past which i never experience through making this model. It is a very meaningful project.
This model is the Winner of scratch-built category in the Australian Model Expo 2012.
This is an old thing, but a long while ago, I made this set of pictures in honor of the mesh tails made by Azaiya in SL, or more specifically, each colors.
So I went and took pictures with all of them, with a style to fit each tail, along with my personal custom colored tail that I used the most from her.
It's old, but still, thanks a lot Azaiya for your wonderful tail. I had a hard time finding a better mesh tail than this one, because it was that good.

De Bovenste Plasmolen is een midden- en bovenslag watermolen te Plasmolen, in de Nederlandse gemeente Mook en Middelaar. Deze korenmolen is in 1725 gebouwd als papiermolen. De molen maakt gebruik van water uit plaatselijke bronnen.
In 1944 is de Bovenste Plasmolen door oorlogshandelingen beschadigd. Hierbij is de toenmalige molenaar Fons Verouden door een granaatscherf geraakt en om het leven gekomen. Na zijn dood heeft het ruim 50 jaar geduurd voordat de molen hersteld werd. In 1995 werd hiertoe de Stichting Bovenste Plasmolen 1725 opgericht, die ervoor heeft gezorgd dat de molen in 1999 is hersteld.
De Bovenste Plasmolen is bijzonder omdat hij water uit twee molenvijvers op verschillende hoogte kan betrekken, waarbij het water uit de bovenste vijver (gevoed door de Beek van het Groene Water) bovenlangs wordt gevoerd, terwijl het water uit de onderste vijver (gevoed door de bron De Helskuil) vanaf het midden van het waterrad wordt aangevoerd.
De Bovenste Plasmolen is maalvaardig en is tijdens de zomermaanden op gezette tijden voor het publiek geopend.
This is a photograph from the Le Chéíle 'Leixlip 5KM' Road Race, Jog, and Fun Run was held in Leixlip, Co. Kildare, Ireland on Saturday May 4th 2013 at 11:00. This race has steadily grown in stature over the past number of years and now is a well known fixture in the racing calendar in May annually. This was a big aattendance at the race which finished with the last 700 meters on the beautiful new tartan track belonging to Le Cheile AC at the Leixlip Amenities center. As always This was a great race with a great atmosphere. The weather was reasonably good (except for a head wind at a few places on the course). Good race times were reported by many participants. Congratulations to Kevin Roche and all of Le Chéíle AC for their huge volunteer work that goes into making this race the growing success that it is. As always the post race refreshments were awesome with some fabulous treats available for everyone. This year Lidl and Applegreen were title sponsors with support for prizes from Runworx. There was great support from local Kildare clubs and club of the day must go to Sliabh Buidhe Rovers AC of Ferns in Wexford who brought over 30 athletes up on a club day out for the race. The race was supported by FIT Magazine. Junior races for children aged between 7 - 16 years old took place on the track at 10:30 before the main race at 11:00. The race was AAI Permit Approved with a certified course measurement.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
