EXOTIC EASTER FARE
Easter brunch at 1911 on 5th April 2015
Easter specials at La Baguette till 5th April 2015
Easter Sunday is upon us and it brings along a plethora of dining options in the city. 1911 at the classy Imperial is having an Easter Brunch this Sunday and going by the food I sampled there yesterday, is unmissable.
Other than the traditional Easter grub, Chef Vishal has laid out many Mediterranean dishes that liven up the menu. There is a pineapple Gazpacho is a refreshing departure from the tomato base and the smoked paprika gives it a spicy kick.
One of my favourite dishes will be the Prawn Escabeche. Again a departure from ceviche, this flavourful dish has a special blend of flavours in the marinade, giving it a deliciously sharp tang.
For the vegetarians, I will recommend the stuffed artichokes. These are high quality spanish artichoke hearts covered in a delicious spinach filling. Creamy and flavourful this will satiate most meat lovers too.
I loved the lamb chops on polenta. The braising (as opposed to just roasting) makes the lamb deliciously moist. I must write about the polenta as even on its own it was smashing. Tossed in just some parmesan and olive oil it highlighted Chef Vishal's philosophy of rustic, simply cooked but delicious dishes.
The other two standouts were the Confit of chicken and the Veg lasagne. The chicken was moist beyond belief and combine that with streaks of perfectly cooked bacon made the dish very special indeed.
Among the many desserts, the macaroons were truly special. I'd be hard pressed to find better macaroons in the city, an absolute treat. For chocolate lovers there is the chocolate verrine, basically a superb chocolate mousse with a dark chocolate syrup spooned on top. Sinful and indulgent, this kind of stuff is what Easter is made up of.
Executive Chef Vishal Atreya is planning to have a spread of nearly 70 delectable dishes so round up your family (or brunch crew) and head here to get your fix of eggs, chocolate, leg of lamb and bloody Marys.
XOXO

This is a great new-ish restaurant in Belleville, New Jersey. Their dogs were super tasty, and everything was prepared fresh. It was like a slow-food mom-and-pop hot dog stand.
I'm not sure why the logo is a wedge of cheese shot through the head with a hot dog. There is not anything especially cheese-ridden about their selections. Maybe that's not cheese? Well, it is REALLY happy to have the hot dog in its head, and you will be really happy, too.

Lake Carnegie is a reservoir that is formed from a dam on the Millstone River, in the far northeastern corner of Princeton, Mercer County, New Jersey. The Delaware and Raritan Canal and its associated tow path are situated along the eastern shore of the lake. Noted businessman and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie donated money for the construction of the lake, which was donated to Princeton University. In 1990, the Lake Carnegie Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The lake, which is privately owned, is used by the university's rowing team, and is home to the US Olympic rowing team. It is, however, available for public use for activities such as ice skating, fishing, and picnicking. Fish species include largemouth bass, carp, pickerel, crappie, channel catfish and occasionally a few rainbow and brown trout that make their way into Carnegie Lake from Stony Brook. Years of pollution have led to a dangerous decrease in the lake's safety levels. Efforts to improve the water quality of Carnegie Lake are ongoing.
An aerial view of this lake appears in the opening title sequence of the drama series House M.D.

It is hard to believe that these First Communicants were living in a city torn by war. The Lanthorn Yearbook was published by the Dominican Order in Ireland, and gives a comprehensive picture of the activities of their school in Eccles Street during the year, including a full list of the pupils and the exam results for the state examinations for the year. The Dominican Order established the Eccles Street School in 1882 and it became a significant force in the education of Irish girls. The school transferred to Griffith Avenue when the Mater Hospital took over the Eccles Street site for expansion.

Cahir Castle is built on an island of rock outcrop in the River Suir. This castle was probably built in the 13th century either by Philip Worcester or his nephew and heir William. It passed by marriage to the Berminghams, who lost it to the Crown in 1332. In 1375 it was granted to James Butler, the third Earl of Ormond and the Butlers continued to live in Cahir castle until the 18th century despite fluctuations in the family fortune. In 1599 the Earl of Essex, with the aid of newly developed artillery including cannon, culverin and two 'petayers' or mortars, captured the hitherto impregnable castle as part of a campaign to quash an Irish rebellion. The castle was again captured in 1647 by Lord Inchiquin on behalf of the Cromwelliams and had to be retaken by Cromwell in 1650. In the 18th century the family left the castle vacant and moved to a new house facing the main square of the town. Between 1840 and 1846 repair works were carried out on the castle by the then owner Richard Butler of Glengall and his architect William Tinsley. No further work was carried out until the castle was taken into State care as a National Monument in 1964. Although Cahir castle was built in the 13th century, its appearance today is largely due to 15th and 16th-century rebuilding and 19th and 20th-century restoration. Within the curtain wall, which itself incorporated six mural towers/turrets, there is a great hall, a square keep and three courts. The keep was actually the gatehouse of the original 13th-century castle and bawn, the latter now forming the inner court. The keep was originally two storeys high. The arched gateway through the centre of the ground floor has a vaulted chamfer on either side and a large chamber above at first-floor level. In the 15th/16th century the gate of the keep was blocked up and a gate built immediately E of the keep. At this stage an extra floor was inserted at first-floor level the gatehouse was also heightened by the addition of battlements with a gabled attic within. Also during this period a projecting square turret was built onto the SW angle. The 15th/16th-century doorway, placed at the W end of the N wall, is protected by a machicolation at parapet level, there is evidence for an external yett and on entering the lobby it was defended by a cross-loop facing the doorway. The flat-headed single and two-light windows with hood-mouldings date to the 16th-century modifications. On the E wall of the keep there is an unusual incised carving depicting the interlocked outline of two heads and a central figure. The great hall was also entirely rebuilt in the 19th century, only the present W wall is early. The S wall may have originally extended further back incorporating the large fireplace to the W of the N face of the keep, though it is also probably that the fireplace was built to serve a kitchen beyond the hall. A large three-storey square tower at the NW angle of the bawn dates from the 15th century. The original entrance, which is in the S wall and entered from the hall, was protected by a murder-hole. The ground floor is vaulted with two early gun-loops in the N wall and the first floor has a fireplace and a garderobe chamber. The circular tower to the N of the entrance gate and the ground floor of the NE tower in the inner court, appear to have been prisons. To the W of the NE tower there are steps leading down to a well tower, an important feature in times of seige. The rock-cut steps seem to be early in date, though the upper portion of the tower is probably 17th century. The house known as 'Cahir Cottage' and the conical roofs of the towers at the S end of the outer court were built in the 1840s.
Radhavallabha is a Vaishnava denomination which began with the Vaishnava theologian Hith Harivansh Mahaprabhu. This theology and Harivansh's leadership created the Radhavallabha sect. Radhavallabha Theology emphasizes devotion to Radharani. Shri Radhavallabh ji Temple in Vrindaban, Mathura is a very famous temple of the same preaching. This temple is among the most famous 7 temples of Thakur of Vrindavan including Sri Radhavallabh ji, Shri Govind Dev ji, Shri Bankey Bihari Ji and four others. In this temple, there is no deity of Radharani, but a crown has been placed next to Krishna to signify her presence.
DESCRIPTION
Shri Radhavallabh Temple is exactly located in Vrindavan District Mathura State Uttar Pradesh and Country India.It is situated near Bankey Bihari Temple.
The "Tikaet Adhyaksh" of Shri Radhavallabh ji Temple is Shri Radheshlal Goswami and further his child Shri Mohit Maral Goswami and his brother Govind lal Goswami are also taking care of the temple. Shri Radhavallabh ji Temple was founded by Shri Hith Harivansh Mahaprabhu who is worshipped in the adjacent temple of Shri Radhavallabh ji which was earlier Shri Radhavallabh ji's temple but because of Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb attack on Vrindavan he was shifted to other place and then the new temple was built. The Yugal Darshan of Radhavallabh ji is considered as difficult because of rituals due to which the "patt" gets closed. This temple with Madan teer and Seva kunj with Maharasmandal are held by the Tikaet Adhyaksh and are considered as Shri Radhavallabh ji's property. In this temple Radhaashtami is celebrated largely which is a festival on the birthday of Shri Radha Rani. The Temple of Shri Radhavallabh lal is also the mighty temple as many people confirmed that The Lord there residing is living power while others feel a real relaxation on having the Yugal Darshan of Radhavallabh ji.
It is also a popular name of Krishna, meaning the consort of Radha.Shri Radhavallabhlalji is considered as Krishna as well as Radha in one.
The appearance of Lord-Krishna, the reincarnation of the almighty with complete "sixteen-kala" avtar with his Divine-love consorts Sri Radha more than five thousands year age in "Brij-India"; is a well accepted fact of life by the people of India and not a mere legend of Historians.
In the lap of nature, in Vrindavan with its cluster of forests and meadows surrounded by the revered river Yamuna, the almighty mingled with the people of the land, making on destination of cast and creed. The purest form of divine love play with Sri Radha displayed by him, opened up the most secluded, rarest and the super most path of "Ras-Bhakti", hitherto unknown to the world.
Shri Radhavallabhlal temple is one of the icons of Vrindavan with extraordinary beauty, building style and wonderful darshans of deity. The Lord is considered as living with unearthly powers. Many people from far away come to seek the darshan of Thakur Ji.
The forces of creation and sustenance, in effect Mother Nature herself, reincarnated around Him as Sri Radha, and her companions. Lord Krishna’s haunting flute sweetest melodies was the call of God and followers happily abandoned worldly attachments to serve God and joy in this garden of nature.

This year is the third year since the organisers decided to move the marathon from its traditional Bank Holiday Monday slot to Sunday. This proved to be an incredible success with yet again one of the largest fields ever for the marathon in Dublin and an entry of 20,000 people. The weather was absolutely perfect with ideal running conditions for the marathon with a perfect crisp and sunny autumn morning in the captial.

Ahmed Ozsever is a multitasking fine artist and coffee roaster from Indianapolis, Indiana. He's a graduate of the Herron school of art and his artistic efforts most often find their end in photography. Like many of my friends, he has found his way to Chicago, and now teaches introduction to digital photography at the Hyde Park Art Center. He also is one of the main roasters at Dark Matter Coffee, a place I've visited just a few times over the course of this project. Ahmed, Jeff and I have a show which is currently hanging in Star for the next month or two. Those of you in Chicago should definitely come and check it out!

This is the St. Michael Catholic Church in St. Michael, MN - listed on the National Register of Historic Places as Building #79001279
In 1856, Catholic German immigrants built a small log cabin church, near the Crow River, about three miles east of this location. At that time, St. Michael’s and other churches in the northern and central areas of Minnesota received the services of the Benedictine priests from St. John’s Abbey in Collegeville.
In 1866, a new church was built in the heart of the present St. Michael’s town, on the northeast corner of the main intersection in town. This white, wooden structure provided space for worshippers of St. Michael for about twenty-five years.
In 1890, at the strong encouragement of the new pastor, Rev. Rudolph Duesterman, the present gothic church was built. At the time, it was the largest church in Wright County and has been the focus of a long history of sacred events. In 2004, to accomodate the growing congregation, a new "domed" church was built just up the road - but this distinctive, imposing structure still dominates the skyline, and is truly one of the most beautiful churches around.(Waymarking.com)

This is the famous Karnak Temple, located at Luxor (formerly the Ancient Egyptian Capital of Waset/Thebes) in Egypt. The largest Ancient Egyptian temple complex ever built, the construction lasted from the Egyptian Middle Kingdom through the Ptolemaic era, maintaining a status of great importance between the Eleventh Dynasty (2100-1990 BC) and the reign of Phillip III Arrhidaeus (320-317 BC). The oldest part of the complex is the smaller Precinct of Mut, which is unrestored and remains closed to visitors. The complex is well-known for its great Hypostyle Hall, constructed during the 18th Dynasty (1550 BC to 1292 BC), with some work undertaken under Seti I and Ramses II during the 19th Dynasty. Other pharaohs during the 18th dynasty contributed to the expansion of the complex, with Hatshepsut having the two famous obelisks, the tallest ancient obelisks in the world, built at the entrance to the temple, with one still standing and the other in fragments, and was later responsible for the other two obelisks at the site, with the broken obelisk in Aswan being a failed attempt at this endeavor. The temple includes several Sphinx-lined ceremonial processional routes to the Precinct of Mut, Nile River, and Luxor Temple, used during the coronation ceremonies of Egyptian Pharaohs. The pylons of the temple were built at various times, with the ten pylons being completed by various pharaohs. The unfinished first pylon, enclosing walls, and part of the great forecourt were built during the reign of Nectanebo I (379-361 BC). Shortly after this, Alexander the Great invaded Egypt and Thebes gradually faded in importance and prominence, with the temple being abandoned before Christianity became the state religion of the Roman Empire in the 4th Century AD, with several churches being built in the ruins. The temple was known to the native Egyptians and Arabs after the fall of the Roman Empire, but not the Europeans until the 16th Century. It was not until the 19th Century that it was cleared of later structures and excavated.

Nothing About Us Without Us Is For Us was a public art event using obsolete technology to hurl language across Glasgow's River Clyde. Organised and conceived by artists TS Beall and Matt Baker, the project commissioned 15 artists to partner with 18 local organisations. Together, they delivered 6 weeks of activities, culminating in an event on Saturday 28 April, 2012 where over 1500 people sang, shouted, and sailed across the Clyde. Visitors to the Glasgow International Festival were invited to the Govan waterfront to participate in transmissions using human megaphones, siege engines, string-and-cup telephones, messages-in-bottles (‘The Govan Armada’), choral serenades, and more…

Today is the last full day we have in eastern Turkey, we have brought plane tickets to fly back to Istanbul the next morning. The original plan is to drive back to Erzurum from Doğubeyazıt directly on a nice freeway (at least according to the map), which takes 4 hours.
Plan changed, I gained so much confidence for our little car and the driver, M, who has proven to handle off-road environment extremely well and so... I persuade him to make a long detour: Going south to Lake Van, the largest inland lake in Turkey, go round the southern shore, stop by a town or two , and then head north back to Erzurum.
I estimated the detour will take about 9 hours, long? na, M has driven 16 hours non-stop, he can handle it! What about the car... oops, forgot to think for the car... but for the moment, let's enjoy the lake!
Beijing, formerly romanized as Peking, is the capital of the People's Republic of China, the world's third most populous city proper, and most populous capital city. The city, located in northern China, is governed as a municipality under the direct administration of the central government with 16 urban, suburban, and rural districts. Beijing Municipality is surrounded by Hebei Province with the exception of neighboring Tianjin Municipality to the southeast; together, the three divisions form the Jingjinji metropolitan region and the national capital region of China.
Beijing is an important world capital and global power city, and one of the world's leading centers for politics, economy and business, finance, education, culture, innovation and technology, architecture, language, and diplomacy. A megacity, Beijing is the second largest Chinese city by urban population after Shanghai and is the nation's political, cultural, and educational center. It is home to the headquarters of most of China's largest state-owned companies and houses the largest number of Fortune Global 500 companies in the world, as well as the world's four biggest financial institutions. It is also a major hub for the national highway, expressway, railway, and high-speed rail networks. The Beijing Capital International Airport has been the second busiest in the world by passenger traffic since 2010, and, as of 2016, the city's subway network is the busiest and second longest in the world.
Combining both modern and traditional architecture, Beijing is one of the oldest cities in the world, with a rich history dating back three millennia. As the last of the Four Great Ancient Capitals of China, Beijing has been the political center of the country for most of the past eight centuries, and was the largest city in the world by population for much of the second millennium A.D. Encyclopædia Britannica notes that "few cities in the world have served for so long as the political headquarters and cultural center of an area as immense as China." With mountains surrounding the inland city on three sides, in addition to the old inner and outer city walls, Beijing was strategically poised and developed to be the residence of the emperor and thus was the perfect location for the imperial capital. The city is renowned for its opulent palaces, temples, parks, gardens, tombs, walls and gates. It has seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites—the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace, Ming Tombs, Zhoukoudian, and parts of the Great Wall and the Grand Canal— all tourist locations. Siheyuans, the city's traditional housing style, and hutongs, the narrow alleys between siheyuans, are major tourist attractions and are common in urban Beijing.
Many of Beijing's 91 universities consistently rank among the best in China, such as the Peking University and Tsinghua University. Beijing CBD is a center for Beijing's economic expansion, with the ongoing or recently completed construction of multiple skyscrapers. Beijing's Zhongguancun area is known as China's Silicon Valley and a center of innovation and technology entrepreneurship.
Pevensey Castle is a medieval castle and former Roman Saxon Shore fort at Pevensey in the English county of East Sussex. The site is a Scheduled Monument in the care of English Heritage and is open to visitors. Built around 290 AD and known to the Romans as Anderitum, the fort appears to have been the base for a fleet called the Classis Anderidaensis. The reasons for its construction are unclear; long thought to have been part of a Roman defensive system to guard the British and Gallic coasts against Saxon pirates, it has more recently been suggested that Anderitum and the other Saxon Shore forts were built by a usurper in an ultimately unsuccessful attempt to prevent Rome from reimposing its control over Britain.
Anderitum fell into ruin following the end of the Roman occupation but was reoccupied in 1066 by the Normans, for whom it became a key strategic bulwark. A stone keep and fortification was built within the Roman walls and faced several sieges. Although its garrison was twice starved into surrender, it was never successfully stormed. The castle was occupied more or less continuously until the 16th century, apart from a possible break in the early 13th century when it was slighted. It had been abandoned again by the late 16th century and remained a crumbling, partly overgrown ruin until it was acquired by the state in 1925.
This is a gift I gave to my girl for her birthday in 2015. Similar to Pandora, I chose evolve as it is New Zealand-designed charm jewellery.
There is some thought behind the charms chosen too. Starting from the football (we both enjoy the game) and moving clockwise, here is a brief on what the chosen charms represent:
Waikato province charm - we first met and married in Hamilton and after a near 5-year OE, we returned from the UK to settle in the Waikato region.
Energy Eternal - recently bought by Cath.
Wild Emerald - birthstone of myself.
Aeroplane - we met in the airforce in 1988 at RNZAF Base Te Rapa.
Heart - to symbolise our love.
New Zealand Music - we both love our local music.
Taupo - where many Christmas holidays have been spent at my parents timeshare.
Christmas Pohutukawa - The NZ Christmas Tree and a gift from me to Cath for Christmas 2015.
Manawatu province charm - the region I was born and grew up in.
Safety clip to stop charms falling off.
Open/Close mechanism.
Auckland province charm - the region where Cath was born and grew up.
Rose Boutique - to symbolise Cath's mum who's middle name is Rose.
Dragon (Pandora charm) as we both have tattoo's of and love Dragon's.
Guys this is the gift that can keep on giving. A huge variety of charms available and a way of telling a story and making it personal.

The White House is the official residence and principal workplace of the President of the United States. Located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW in Washington, D.C., the house was designed by Irish-born James Hoban,[1] and built between 1792 and 1800 of white-painted Aquia sandstone in the Neoclassical style. It has been the residence of every U.S. President since John Adams. When Thomas Jefferson moved into the house in 1801, he (with architect Benjamin Henry Latrobe) expanded the building outward, creating two colonnades that were meant to conceal stables and storage.[2]
In 1814, during the War of 1812, the mansion was set ablaze by the British Army in the Burning of Washington, destroying the interior and charring much of the exterior. Reconstruction began almost immediately, and President James Monroe moved into the partially reconstructed house in October 1817. Construction continued with the addition of the South Portico in 1824 and the North in 1829. Because of crowding within the executive mansion itself, President Theodore Roosevelt had all work offices relocated to the newly constructed West Wing in 1901. Eight years later, President William Howard Taft expanded the West Wing and created the first Oval Office which was eventually moved as the section was expanded. The third-floor attic was converted to living quarters in 1927 by augmenting the existing hip roof with long shed dormers. A newly constructed East Wing was used as a reception area for social events; Jefferson's colonnades connected the new wings. East Wing alterations were completed in 1946, creating additional office space. By 1948, the house's load-bearing exterior walls and internal wood beams were found to be close to failure. Under Harry S. Truman, the interior rooms were completely dismantled and a new internal load-bearing steel frame constructed inside the walls. Once this work was completed, the interior rooms were rebuilt.
Today, the White House Complex includes the Executive Residence, West Wing, Cabinet Room, Roosevelt Room, East Wing, and the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, which houses the executive offices of the President and Vice President.
The White House is made up of six stories—the Ground Floor, State Floor, Second Floor, and Third Floor, as well as a two-story basement. The term White House is regularly used as a metonym for the Executive Office of the President of the United States and for the president's administration and advisers in general. The property is owned by the National Park Service and is part of the President's Park.

Kasteel van Modave
Modave Castle
Het kasteel van Modave (Frans: Château de Modave), ook Château des Comtes de Marchin, is een kasteel nabij Modave in de Belgische provincie Luik. Het kasteel ligt op een rotspunt, 60 meter boven de vallei van de Hoyoux, in een natuurgebied van 450 hectare.
Het kasteel werd in de middeleeuwen gebouwd en in het midden van de 17e eeuw gedeeltelijk verwoest. Het verkreeg een klassieke gevel gedurende de restauratie in het midden van de 17e eeuw.
Van de 13e tot en met de 16e eeuw was het kasteel in bezit van de heer van Modave. Hierna kwam het eigendomsrecht in handen van de families Haultepenne en Saint-Fontaine. Amper een eeuw later werd Jean-Gaspard Ferdinand de Marchin, een Frans bevelhebber, eigenaar van het kasteel. Zijn zoon, Ferdinand de Marsin, verwierp het eigendomsrecht en verhuisde naar Frankrijk.
Latere eigenaars waren respectievelijk:
Maximiliaan Hendrik van Beieren (1682-1684)
Willem Egon van Fürstenberg (1684-1706)
Arnold de Ville (1706-1772)
de hertog van Montmorency (1772-1817)
Prominent aanwezig in de decoratie van het kasteel is het stucwerk van Jan Hansche. In het kasteel is een maquette te zien van de machine van Marly die ontwikkeld werd door Rennequin Sualem.
In 1941 kocht Vivaqua het domein om de waterconstructies op het domein te beschermen en als waterwinningsgebied om onder meer Brussel te voorzien van drinkwater.
The Château of Modave (French: Château de Modave), also known as the Château des Comtes de Marchin (Château of the Counts of Marchin) is a château near the village of Modave in Liège Province, Wallonia, Belgium.
The oldest part of the building, the donjon, was built on a strategic rock high above the valley of the river Hoyoux. The oldest parts still visible today date probably from the 13th century and were erected by the lords of Modave. In the 16th century the castle and the estate of Modave became the property of the Haultepenne and de Saint-Fontaine families.
In the next century Jean-Gaspard-Ferdinand de Marchin (1601–1673), a great military commander, acquired the castle and turned it from a medieval fortress into a luxury Baroque residence. His son Ferdinand de Marsin neglected the property and lived in France.
Later owners were successively:
Maximilian Henry of Bavaria, Elector of Cologne and Prince-Bishop of Liège (1682–1684);
Cardinal Wilhelm Egon von Fürstenberg, and his heirs (1684–1706);
Baron Arnold de Ville (1706–1772); and
Anne-Léon, Duke of Montmorency, and his heirs (1772–1817).
In the 19th century it was owned by the non-noble families of Lamarche, Braconier and Van Hoegaerden. Finally, the Compagnie Intercommunale Bruxelloise des Eaux ("Brussels Intercommunal Water Company") bought the property in March 1941, in order to protect the important water catchments in the park. The company still owns the château today and has been restoring it with great care. It is open for visitors from April until October and it is also used as a prestigious venue for concerts and receptions.
The ancient fortified castle was rebuilt from 1659 to 1667 in a manner showing a remarkable affinity to the most modern ideas of European country house building of the time. It is particularly close to the buildings of François Mansart. The dignified symmetry with a triangular pediment accenting the main frontage, the geometrical articulation of the wall, the mansard roofs, and the spatial contrast between the corps de logis and the side wings have much in common with Mansart's country houses, such as the Château de Maisons-Laffitte. Modave is the most prominent preserved example of High Baroque country-house architecture in the Southern Netherlands and the Prince-Bishopric of Liège.
The château is unique for its splendidly preserved historic interiors and furniture dating from the 17th and 18th centuries. The stucco ceilings date from the second half of the 17th century and were created by Jan-Christian Hansche.

Colca Canyon is a canyon of the Colca River in southern Peru. It is located about 100 miles (160 kilometers) northwest of Arequipa. It is more than twice as deep as the Grand Canyon in the United States. However, the canyon's walls are not as vertical as those of the Grand Canyon. The Colca and Cotahuasi canyons are both easily recognizable in even low-resolution satellite photos of the region. The Colca Valley is a colorful Andean valley with towns founded in Spanish Colonial times and formerly inhabited by the Collaguas and the Cabanas. The local people still maintain ancestral traditions and continue to cultivate the pre-Inca stepped terraces.
GEOGRAPHY
The Colca River starts high in the Andes at Condorama Crucero Alto and changes its name to Majes, and then to Camana before reaching the Pacific Ocean. Parts of the canyon are habitable, and Inca and pre-Inca terraces are still cultivated along the less precipitous canyon walls. The small town of Chivay is on the upper Colca River, where the canyon is not so deep but where many terraces are present in the canyon and continue for many kilometers downstream. As the canyon deepens downriver, a series of small villages is spread out over the approximately 35 miles (56 km) between Chivay and the village of Cabanaconde. The canyon reaches its greatest depth and, in contrast, about 15 miles (24 km) to the southeast rises the 20,630-ft (6,288-m) Nevado Ampato, a snow-capped extinct volcano.
ATTRACTIONS
The canyon is home to the Andean Condor (Vultur gryphus), a species that has seen world-wide effort to preserve it. The condors can be seen at fairly close range as they fly through the canyon walls and are an increasingly popular attraction. 'Cruz del Condor' is a popular tourist stop to view the condors, the pass where condors soar gracefully on the rising thermals occurring as the air warms. The condors are best seen in the early morning and late afternoon when they are hunting. At this point the canyon floor is 3,960 ft (1,200 m) below the rim of the canyon.
The La Calera natural hot springs are located at Chivay, the biggest town in the Colca Canyon

This is a kit I bought from my friend Mike Hill at the last Imagination Expo in Las Vegas. I only had so much money and I wanted this kit very badly, then to make matters worse he was debuting a new sculpt which was his "Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man" taken from the famous publicity still. It took me hours trying to decide which sculpt I wanted most as I could only afford 1 more. So I took Mike apart and asked his advise as he's a Huge Chaney Jr Wolf Man Fan as I am. He told me to snag his "Curse of the Werewolf" sculpt as they were selling fast and I might not be able to get one later. So I took his advice and I coulsn't have been happier. Note: I now own his "Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man kit as well which I just finished and will be adding it here to my collection.
This is my kid's outfit after he did his thing.

Benin is among dozens of Gavi-eligible countries to introduce rotavirus vaccines in the past several years to prevent a severe form of diarrheal disease responsible for over 180,000 deaths globally each year. Children should receive three doses of rotavirus vaccine between 6 and 14 weeks of age, and these three doses will protect him or her against this form of severe acute diarrhea. The Rotavirus Accelerated Vaccine Introduction Network (RAVIN) project supported Benin in preparing for the introduction of rotavirus vaccine, which began in December 2019. The rotavirus vaccine introduction planning process was an opportunity to strengthen the country’s routine immunization program, build capacity, and mitigate delays. RAVIN is a partnership between the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health International Vaccine Access Center (IVAC), John Snow Research and Training Institute (JSI), and the U.S. CDC providing strategic technical assistance in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Cambodia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Lao PDR, Myanmar, and Nepal. Its support, which complements services and leadership provided by WHO, UNICEF, and Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) teams, encompasses rotavirus vaccine introduction decision-making, Gavi applications, introduction preparation, implementation, and impact assessments.
This is a photograph from the finish of the Tullamore Harriers AC "Quinlan Cup" Half Marathon which was held on Saturday 27th August 2016 in Tullamore, Co. Offaly, Ireland at 11:00. This is the fourth year of the event. The race is organised and promoted by Tullamore Harriers AC. The race starts on the Charleville Road just outside the entrance to Tullamore Harriers. The race proceeds south along the R421 and onto the N52 before taking a route onto local back roads. The race then completes a large rural road route before it joins to the R421 again and the final 1.5 miles are the same as the first mile of the race. The runners enter Tullamore stadium and complete one lap of the tartan track before the finish line. The course is challenging in places with some undulations along the route. But overall it is fair course. 2013 seen the first year of the event as the club commemorated the 60th Anniversary of the formation of Tullamore Harriers AC which today is one of Ireland's best known athletics clubs.
We have a large set of photographs from the start and the finish of today's race on our Flickr Photostream: www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157669860212434
The race was perfectly organised. The weather was good for racing but there was warm summer weather for the entire race which made for warmer than usual running conditions There were stewarts all along the route, 3 drink stations with bottled water, superb facilities, and great after-race refreshments. The stewards along the route provided great encouragement to all of the runners. Tullamore Harriers and the local community really worked together to make this is a wonderful event. There was also a relay option where teams of two can run approximately 10.5km each.
As mentioned above this race half marathon started in 2013 and celebrated the 60th Anniversary (a Diamond Anniversary) of the foundation of Tullamore Harriers AC. The club was formed in the town in November 1953. However, it was almost 1979 before facilities close to what we see today open in the present day site. Over 50 provincial and national athletics meetings are held at Tullamore Harriers every year. The facilities available combined with it's central geographical location joining routes from North, South, East, and West make it a very attractive venue. The half marathon today firmly brings competitive national road racing back to "The Harriers". The Quinlan Cup which will be awarded to the winning club team. For more than 40 years the Harriers Quinlan Cup was the most prestigious event on the road racing calendar. Having started as a cross-country race back in 1957, it became a road race in 1967 and remained so until 2000 when the race was last held. During its reign as a blue-ribband event the Quinlan Cup was won by the likes of John Treacy and Eamonn Coughlan.
Today, the facilities at Tullamore Harriers are the envy of many athletics clubs in Ireland. The facilities provided by Tullamore make it one of the premier venues for local and national level athletics in Ireland. There is an Olympic standard tartan track, a fully equipped gym, changing facilities, press and media facilities, meeting room spaces, etc. The club also provides a social center and niteclub which makes "The Harriers" a very well known on the local social scene. Esssentially, the town of Tullamore would be a different place if it weren't for the presence of Tullamore Harriers AC.

Our only "cost" is that we request that if you are using these images: (1) on social media sites such as Facebook, Tumblr, Pinterest, Twitter,LinkedIn, Google+, VK.com, Vine, Meetup, Tagged, Ask.fm,etc or (2) other websites, blogs, web multimedia, commercial/promotional material that you must provide a link back to our Flickr page to attribute us or acknowledge us as the original photographers.
This also extends to the use of these images for Facebook profile pictures. In these cases please make a separate wall or blog post with a link to our Flickr page. If you do not know how this should be done for Facebook or other social media please email us and we will be happy to help suggest how to link to us.
I want to download these pictures to my computer or device?
You can download this photographic image here directly to your computer or device. This version is the low resolution web-quality image. How to download will vary slight from device to device and from browser to browser. Have a look for a down-arrow symbol or the link to 'View/Download' all sizes. When you click on either of these you will be presented with the option to download the image. Remember just doing a right-click and "save target as" will not work on Flickr.
I want get full resolution, print-quality, copies of these photographs?
If you just need these photographs for online usage then they can be used directly once you respect their Creative Commons license and provide a link back to our Flickr set if you use them. For offline usage and printing all of the photographs posted here on this Flickr set are available free, at no cost, at full image resolution.
Please email petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com with the links to the photographs you would like to obtain a full resolution copy of. We also ask race organisers, media, etc to ask for permission before use of our images for flyers, posters, etc. We reserve the right to refuse a request.
In summary please remember when requesting photographs from us - If you are using the photographs online all we ask is for you to provide a link back to our Flickr set or Flickr pages. You will find the link above clearly outlined in the description text which accompanies this photograph. Taking these photographs and preparing them for online posting takes a significant effort and time. We are not posting photographs to Flickr for commercial reasons. If you really like what we do please spread the link around your social media, send us an email, leave a comment beside the photographs, send us a Flickr email, etc. If you are using the photographs in newspapers or magazines we ask that you mention where the original photograph came from.
I would like to contribute something for your photograph(s)?
Many people offer payment for our photographs. As stated above we do not charge for these photographs. We take these photographs as our contribution to the running community in Ireland. If you feel that the photograph(s) you request are good enough that you would consider paying for their purchase from other photographic providers or in other circumstances we would suggest that you can provide a donation to any of the great charities in Ireland who do work for Cancer Care or Cancer Research in Ireland.
Let's get a bit technical: We use Creative Commons Licensing for these photographs
We use the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License for all our photographs here in this photograph set. What does this mean in reality?
The explaination is very simple.
Attribution- anyone using our photographs gives us an appropriate credit for it. This ensures that people aren't taking our photographs and passing them off as their own. This usually just mean putting a link to our photographs somewhere on your website, blog, or Facebook where other people can see it.
ShareAlike – anyone can use these photographs, and make changes if they like, or incorporate them into a bigger project, but they must make those changes available back to the community under the same terms.
Above all what Creative Commons aims to do is to encourage creative sharing. See some examples of Creative Commons photographs on Flickr: www.flickr.com/creativecommons/
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!
