Criccieth is a town and community on the Llyn peninsula in the Eifionydd area of Gwynedd in Wales. The town lies 5 miles (8 km) west of Porthmadog, 9 miles (14 km) east of Pwllheli and 17 miles (27 km) south of Caernarfon.
The town is a seaside resort, popular with families. Attractions include the ruins of Criccieth Castle, which have extensive views over the town and surrounding countryside. Nearby on Ffordd Castell (Castle Way) is Cadwalader's Ice Cream Parlour, opened in 1927, whilst Stryd Fawr (High Street) has several bistro style restaurants. In the centre lies Y Maes ("The Field", or town square), part of the original medieval town common.
This view is from my doorway looking into the room. The closet is on the right behind the door.
The carpet is just on loan for the week. I don't think I like it after all, but I definitely love having a nice soft carpet there. Here's the others I'm thinking of:

I'm going to be painting those two dressers white. I draped them with a white curtain to try to get an idea of what the room will look like.
I took off my old blue duvet cover for the shot because it was clashing too much with the black/white theme and patterns. I tried this duvet (http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20114468) last night, but it was the wrong colors: white was too bright, black wasn't rich enough. A patterned duvet might just turn out to be too much anyway.
The B/W stripes on the wall to the left are another curtain like the one in my closet. The next picture in my photostream has a better shot of it. I wasn't sure how to decorate the big blank wall, so I thought something large on one side might divide up the space a little and make it a little easier to work with.
If I decide to go with this idea, I'll probably center it a little better top-to-bottom between the moldings. And I might go with something a little more subtle. Does anyone have any other ideas for this wall?
Easter is the apex of the Church's liturgical year and is the solemnity upon which the rest of the year revolves. It was on the first Easter Sunday that the Lord's disciples discovered the empty tomb, indicating that Christ had risen from the dead.
By His Resurrection Jesus Christ triumphed over death, paid the debt that came through the sin of Adam, and thus opened the gates of Heaven to mankind. Thus, the Lord's Resurrection on Easter thus marks the turning point in salvation history.
It is for this reason that Christians have great reason to rejoice in the new life brought to us by the Risen Savior. Salvation has come at last! For this reason, the Church resumes the use of the word "alleluia" which is said with even greater frequency and fervor for the rest of the fifty days of the Easter season, also known as 'Paschaltide.'
The Resurrection of Jesus Christ is no mere historical event relegated to history but a living reality which Christians experience again and again each year. It is an ever ancient and ever new mystery that is re-presented each year. May all discover and receive the new life to be found in the Risen Savior.

The Alice In Wonderland 10'' Doll is posed standing next to the 2012 Classic Ariel 12'' Doll. Both are by the Disney Store. They both have blue eyes of a very similar design. Although Ariel towers over Alice, she has a much smaller head than does Alice. The character Alice is much younger than the Ariel character, which explains the different proprotions of their heads versus their bodies.
Alice in Wonderland Doll - Our Family Tree
A Holiday Celebration
The Disney Store
Received 10/23/2012
I just received this beatiful Alice In Wonderland doll, bought second hand but new in box, in near mint condition. She is in the Disney Store's Our Family Tree - A Holiday Celebration series of merchandise, and is long out of production.
She is a 10'' doll with poseable head, arms and legs. She has large flat feet with flat heeled shoes, so she can free stand. Although she is a little unsteady on her feet, since she is top heavy, with her large head and long hair. Her rubbery legs can bend at the knees, with internal joints that have a limited range of movement. Her arms cannot bend at the elbow or wrist, so her have fixed attitudes. Her left arm is straight, with a bent wrist, while her right arm is bent with a straight wrist. In construction, her body and limbs are similar to that of the Disney Parks Tinker Bell 11'' doll.
She is a faithful reproduction of the character from the 1951 Disney animated feature of the same name. She has a large head, with large wide open blue eyes glancing to her upper right, small open mouth and a little nose, and a nice amount of rouge on her cheeks. She has a very pleasant, happy expression on her face.
Her hair is long, straight, smooth and shiny. It is light blonde in color with some streaks of very light (almost white) blonde hair. Over her forehead are two long sideways bangs that are very stiff, and are sewn to the main body of her hair at their ends. The ends of her hair are a little frizzy. She has a black satin ribbon in her hair, helping to keep it neat, with a large bow on top.
She is wearing a light blue satin dress with white lace at the hemline. In front is a white satin apron, which is secured with white satin ribbon tied around her waist, with a large bow in the back. She is wearing long white stretchy leggings that go up to her waist. Finally she has shiny black shoes that mimic patent leather.
She is photographed in the box, during the deboxing, and fully deboxed, both alone and with other comparable dolls.
This is a composite image, made from LoC images. It shows the area known as Rocketts, just below Richmond, at was the site of the Confederate Navy Yard during the war (foreground), with another construction yard across the James River. John Coski's Capital Navy reproduces part of the original image, with this cation:
A view of Rocketts from Libby Hill/ April 1865
The only Civil War-era photographs of the Confederate navy yards were taken -- by Mathew Brady or his assistant, or Levy & Cohen of Philadelphia -- after the Federal capture of the city. On the near (north) side of the James River is Rocketts. A few residences and businesses of the Rocketts neighborhood are visib1e in the left foreground. The Rocketts landing, with its permanent sheds or shelters, can be seen near the right edge of the photo. Visible in middle of the photo is the captured Confederate artillery shown on page xiii.
Across the river is the yard (usually called the "Yard opposite Rocketts") where the C.S.S. Virginia II was constructed. On the point of land to the left are ways used for constructing the wooden frame of vessels. The unfinished vessel on the ways was probably an unnamed ironclad warship designed by William A. Graves. On the beach directly across the river are additional ways where a smaller vessel (probably a torpedo boat) was under construction. Archaeologists have recently [1996] discovered the foundations of the substantial building near the right side of the photograph. To the right of that structure (just beyond the frame of the photograph) were buildings and tents which were probably used by the laborers at the southside yard.
The vessels in the river are Federal ships. The sunken ship visible at the far left of both photographs is probably the Confederate school ship Patrick Henry. Courtesy of the Library of Congress.
This is a photograph from the 12th running of the Donadea 50KM and the National 50KM Championships held in Donadea Forest Park, Staplestown, Co. Kildare, Ireland on Saturday 11th February 2023 from 10:00 onwards. The 50K at Donadea is now firmly established as one of the most popular ultramarathon running distance races in Ireland. This year a field of well over 200 participants started the race.
The race is run on a 5KM looped trail of Donadea Forest Park which is a beautiful Coillte-managed forest amenity near the village of Staplestown. The race is promoted by Donadea Running Club and the timing and event management was delivered by Kildare-based company Popup Races.

Elyas, "The Mosque is a place for prayer, it's a cultural centre, it's a place for a congregation, it's a place where people get together, it's also a community centre these days... the main mosques these days are more of a cultural centre, they hold events where people from different cultures come in, they learn about different aspects of the mosque, they learn about Ramadan and Eid etc, and the other smaller mosques have a lot of community events going on. The children go there and learn about the Koran and the ladies have a section which they use, they also have events... so the mosque is for everybody in general. You'll find in the bigger mosques that they'll have the coffins and they'll do the funeral stuff as well, in our religion it is all done in the mosque... the funeral prayers are done in the mosque. People will also come from different mosques and visit the other mosques to basically 'exchange' ideas and to teach other more about the religion, but it's also an opportunity to go to another area and make new friends and to propigate Islam."
"At the moment it's Ramadan which is the month when the holy Kuran was revealed, the thirty chapters were revealed in the holy month of Ramadan, that's why it is the holiest month in our religion, in that month people 'fast' from sunrise to sunset (the whole family do that), so people will have a meal in the morning, it's a special meal that the prophet took, shorty after that there is morning prayer and then we fast until after evening prayer. Right now this is quite a long day, after about eight O'clock'ish people will break their fast, there will be a call to prayer for Maghrib so people know what time it is, they will go to the mosque and what you'll find is most people will break their fast with dates and holy water from the Ka'ba (which is called Zamzam). Ramadan is a special month for everybody, a lot of people go to Makkah (Mecca) and perform their Ramadan over there. By fasting you show empathy to poor people and it's a time will give a lot of money to charity. Towards the end of the Ramadan we celebrate Eid for three days people will take a holiday from holiday, visit their past ones at the cemetery, they'll do prayers, they'll eat a lot of food, they'll go out and they got visit their family friends, people buy gifts and new clothes and that type of thing, so it's a family thing and people get together."

*This is Maddy.
Maddy is feral.
He lived on my patio after I trapped him and had him neutered about a year and a half ago.
The patio is gone.
A tragedy happened last September. My house was burned down and my life is forever changed.
I still take care of Maddy as much as he'll let me. We are survivors.
My house is still being rebuilt. The sink Maddy is laying in is one of 4 beautiful Talavera sinks going into my new house.
Maddy is so sweet and funny. This is the first time I've seen him bathe in the sink.*

Barong is a character in the mythology of Bali. He is the king of the spirits, leader of the hosts of good, and enemy of Rangda in the mythological traditions of Bali. Banas Pati Rajah is the fourth "brother" or spirit child that accompanies a child throughout life. Banas Pati Rajah is the spirit which animates Barong. A protector spirit, he is often represented by a lion, and traditional performances of his struggles against Rangda are popular parts of Balinese culture. The Barong is often portrayed with two monkeys.
Worcester Cathedral is the commanding presence on the skyline of the city, perched on high ground overlooking the River Severn. It is one of England's most rewarding cathedrals, though denied first rank status owing to the heavy handed Victorian restorations it underwent, an unavoidable consequence of being built of soft red sandstone (a problem shared with Chester and Lichfield) and thus a 19th century feel pervades inside and out in it's mostly renewed external stonework and furnishings.
The cathedral impresses with it's scale, one or our longer churches, crowned by a magnificent central tower (originally surmounted by a lead spire, lost sometime after the Reformation; subtle alterations to the tower's design were made when it was refaced in the Victorian restoration) and with a secondary pair of transepts flanking the choir (as at Salisbury, Lincoln, Rochester & Canterbury). Of the former monastic buildings the cloister and Norman chapter house have survived (along with the refectory, now part of neighbouring King's School), making this a more complex and enjoyable building to explore.
The earliest parts are of the Norman period with the superb 12th century crypt under the choir. The west end of the nave is also Norman work, though very late and unusual in design, with transitional pointed arches. However the bulk of the building we see dates from the 13th and 14th centuries, the east end in Early English Gothic style (where most of the windows were restored to stepped lancets by Sir George Gilbert Scott during the Victorian restoration, having been altered over the centuries), whilst the remainder of the nave and tower are largely of the Decorated period (the cathedral originally also possessed a detached octagonal bell tower with a lead spire, which stood near the north east corner but was demolished in 1647).
Of the original furnishings little remains beyond the fine set of misericords in the choir stalls. The stained glass too is nearly entirely Victorian (only some meagre, much restored medieval fragments survive in traceries of the south aisle). However, much of the Victorian glass is really quite impressive, particularly the great east and west windows by Hardman's.
Worcester is however especially rich in tombs and monuments of all periods, with medieval effigies of bishops, knights and ladies, not all in good condition but worth seeking out. There are also several large tombs from the post-Reformation period (especially in the cluttered south aisle) and some fine Baroque work in the north transept.
The most significant of the monuments here are Royal; in the centre of the choir lies the fine 13th century effigy of King John, best remembered for signing the Magna Carta (and my 21st great-grandfather I've recently discovered!). Nearby is the superb chantry chapel of Prince Arthur, elder brother of Henry VIII, whose premature death aged 15 changed England forever (one of the most pivotal moments in our history, had he survived, the Reformation may never have happened). The gorgeous late Perpendicular Gothic chapel stands to the south of the High Altar and is remarkable for it's rich sculpted detail.
Business is good for Britain... is Britain good for Business?
Lord Jones has served at the highest levels of both business and
government and in this event he shares his experience and (often
forthright) opinions about what British business needs to do to thrive in
an increasingly global economy.
Knowledgeable, authoritative and independent, Digby argues how untenable
the status quo is in the UK, and sets out how Britain can get back in – and
stay in – the globalised game.
In a long standing relationship with Lord Jones, Harvey Nash is delighted to
be championing The Power of Talent as a key competitive advantage for
UK businesses.
This streetlamp is still lying on the Jeff Davis neutral ground, now in two pieces. In most cities, a downed streetlamp gets fixed. In post-Katrina New Orleans, it's the least of our worries, and so it still lies there a year and a half later, and no one cares -- not even me.
This is the White, Yellow, Pink, and Blue Fairy. When I first purchased her from the thrift store, she had blonde hair and was wearing a one-piece swimsuit. I dyed her hair blue using Liquidtex Phthalocyanine Blue acrylic paint mixed with water. I decided to keep the swimsuit but I fashioned a skirt out of felt and lace using suggestions from Tina Casey's book Fabulous Fashion Doll Clothing You Can Make. The accent on the skirt and fairy wings were made out of polymer clay.
Kakadu is a whole lot more than a national park. It's also a vibrant, living acknowledgment of the elemental link between the Aboriginal custodians and the country they have nurtured, endured and respected for thousands of generations. Encompassing almost 20,000 sq km (about 200km north–south and 100km east–west), it holds in its boundaries a spectacular ecosystem and a mind-blowing concentration of ancient rock art. The landscape is an ever-changing tapestry − periodically scorched and flooded, apparently desolate or obviously abundant depending on the season.
In just a few days you can cruise on billabongs bursting with wildlife, examine 25,000-year-old rock paintings with the help of an Indigenous guide, swim in pools at the foot of tumbling waterfalls and hike through ancient sandstone escarpment country.
If Kakadu has a downside − in the Dry at least − it's that it's very popular. Resorts, camping grounds and rock-art sites can be very crowded, but this is a vast park and with a little adventurous spirit you can easily get off the beaten track and be alone with nature.

There is little to report here, except the observation that the stands on the Pakistan side are slowly filling as well. Notice the India (left) and Pakistan (right) flags fluttering along in the foreground. These will be later taken down and retired to their respective sides of the border while the border itself closes for the night. Apologies for the poor photo quality- this was due to a defective zoom lens, oil stains on the lens filter thanks to kid the previous night in Amritsar and the general late afternoon haze.

The Verkehrshaus is the most visited museum of Switzerland.
From the train station you catch the bus (N° 6 or 8) up to the station "Verkehrshaus". The bus drives every five to ten minutes. At the entrance you'll find an old VW beetle full of stickers.
At the museum you can see a lot of different means of transport (airplanes, trains, ships, and so on) and things about communication. Further you can walk on the Swiss map and with a lens you can accrete every point of Switzerland (Swissarena). Not to forget: the planetarium.
If you're tired of the museum, you can visit the IMAX right beside of the musem. You can also have a kombi ticket (museum + IMAX).
The museum offers a lot of things, so keep free enough time.

Chania is the second largest settlement on the island after Heraklion.
This area appears to have been inhabited since the Neolithic Age. It was built as a city in the Minoan period (3000–1900 BC) under the name Kudonija. According to ancient tradition, the city was founded by the mythical King Minos. Cydonia reemerged after the end of the Minoan period as an important city-state. The first major wave of settlers from mainland Greece was by the Dorians who came around 1100 BC. In Homer's Odyssey the inhabitants of Kydonia are mentioned twice.
After centuries of war between the Cretan cities, the island became a Roman province in 67 BC. Due to its pro-Roman stance, the city was granted the status of a free city. The Roman conquest of Crete marked the end of the civil wars and the beginning of a long period of peace and economic prosperity.
After the end of the Roman Empire and the division of the empire in 395, Chania was ruled by the Byzantine Empire (395–824) and then by the Emirate of Crete (824–961). During the second Byzantine period (961–1204), the city was known in Greek as Chania. To ward off further Arab invasion, the Byzantines heavily fortified the city, using materials from ancient buildings in the surrounding area.After the fall of Constantinople during the 1204 Fourth Crusade, Crete was sold to the Venetians In 1252, the Venetians managed to subdue the Cretans and Chania flourished as a commercial centre of a fertile agricultural region. Contact with Venice led to close intertwining of Cretan and Venetian cultures.
The city walls were reinforced at this time, but could notnot prevent an Ottoman army from capturing it from the Venetians after a two-month siege. Many Cretans fled to escape persecution while numerous Turkish Muslim settlers arrived changing the ethnic mix of the city.
The city remained under Ottoman control despite fighting during the Greek War of Independence and the Cretan Revolts in the 19th century until Crete moved towards independence that eventually led to Crete's union with Greece on 1 December 1913.
The Archaeological Museum of Chania is located in the suburb of Chalepa housed in a large modern building.
Kibworth Harcourt church is a handsome building whose tower stands proudly by the main road and has a medieval appearance aside from an apparent freshness to the stonework, which is explained by the fact that it is a rebuilding from 1832 following the fall of the original tower and spire some seven years earlier. The rest of the building however is genuine medieval work, mostly dating from the 14th century.
The interior is impressive and light despite a reasonable quantity of Victorian glass, the main east windows of the chancel and both nave aisles being large 5-light openings with many traceries. There are also curious small mouchette windows over the chancel arch, which peer down the nave like a pair of eyes. Below this is the wooden chancel screen, which I didn't pay much attention to believing it to be 19th century but according to Pevsner some parts may be genuine medieval work. The font at the west end is 14th century, apparently ejected from the church by a Puritan minister until restored to it in 1864 having braved a couple of centuries of weathering. The sedilia and piscinas are also fine examples of 14th century masonry.
The glass is mostly of Victorian date by several different firms, the best being the richly floral east window of the north aisle and a fine Kempe window at the west end of the south aisle. The most conspicuous contemporary feature is the mixed media / paper white figure sculpture of an angel suspended from the chancel arch, benignly gazing down upon all who pass below.
This church is normally kept locked outside of service times so it may be necessary to make an appointment to see inside unless visiting on Ride & Stride day in September like we did.

This photo is from my mother's collection. I think it was taken somewhere in Mississipi. The back is stamped "Jiminez Studios - Sept 10, 1936" (update: Jiminez Studios was in Ashland KY). I think my father was working in Mississippi on highway construction. Don't know who the lady is on the left, but my mother (Katherine Waggoner Slone) is in the middle and my father (Odes Slone) is on the right. Also not sure about the baby, but it might have been my oldest sister, Maude Ruth Slone Fraley, who was born in March 1936. Dad was 29 and Mom was 26 at the time.
The building appears to be a country store or possibly a cafe, and notice that the Texaco gas, sold from the "visible" style pump, was 21 cents per gallon.

June 20, 2023 - "The Cité de Carcassonne is a fortified medieval city located on a hill in the old town of Carcassonne, in the Occitanie region of southern France. It is located on the right bank of the Aude and in the southeast of the current city. Its origins date back to Gallo-Roman times and it was enlarged into a fortress in the Middle Ages. The fortified city is surrounded by a double wall (each about three kilometers long with a total of 52 towers). The main buildings within the Cité, which is still inhabited, are a castle (Château comtal) and a church (Basilique Saint-Nazaire).
In the 19th century, the already decaying city of Carcassonne was restored under the direction of Eugène Viollet-le-Duc. This resulted in an extensive well-preserved historical monument that was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997.
Carcassonne was founded as Carcasso in the 1st century BC. Founded by the Romans on the site of today's Cité. The so-called Gallo-Roman towers with a horseshoe plan on the inner wall testify to the Carcasso period.
On the 14 hectares, where between 3,000 and 4,000 people lived in the Middle Ages, 229 permanent residents live today. All the others work for tourism and live abroad. La Cité is a large open-air museum used by tourists and is not normally accessible by car.
Legend has it that the fortress was once besieged by Charlemagne, when Mme Carcas was the lady of the castle. The siege lasted so long that famine soon claimed the first victims in the Cité. Mrs. Carcas then decided to stuff a pig with wheat and, when she was fat enough, she threw it off the castle wall. The besiegers, already exhausted, thought when they saw the fat animal that fell from their towers that the city must have food to spare. Dejected, Charlemagne's men gave up and returned home. When the town bells rang to celebrate the end of the siege, one of the besiegers is said to have exclaimed Madame Carcas sonne (Carcas sounds).
In 1208, Pope Innocent III, faced with the increase and extension of Catharism, decreed the Albigensian Crusade. The Count of Tolosa and the Viscount of Carcassonne are accused of heresy and their territories become the main target of the attack by the barons from France. On August 1, 1209, the city is besieged by the Crusaders. Raymond Roger Trencavel surrenders to them on August 15 in exchange for the lives of its inhabitants. The villages around the city are destroyed. The viscount dies of dysentery in his castle prison on November 10, 1209. Other sources speak of an assassination planned by Simon de Montfort.
The city becomes the headquarters of the crusade troops. The land and city are delivered to Simón de Montfort, military chief of the Crusader army. He died in 1218 during the siege of Toulouse and his son, Amaury VI de Montfort, took possession of the city, but was unable to manage it. He cedes the rights to it to Louis VIII of France, but Ramon VII of Toulouse and the counts of Foix allied against the king. In 1224, Ramón Trencavel II took possession of the city after Amaury fled.
Louis VIII launches a second crusade in 1226 and Ramón Trencavel must flee. The city of Carcassonne becomes part of the domain of the King of France and becomes the seat of a seneschal. A period of terror is installed inside the city among the inhabitants; the search and hunting of the Cathars multiplies the bonfires in the squares and there are continuous savage denunciations, with the installation of an Inquisition Tribunal within the city precincts.
Louis IX of France orders the construction of the second walled enclosure so that the city can withstand long sieges and sieges. Trencavel, refugee in Aragon, intends to recover his land. At the same time, the king of Aragon, Jaime I the Conqueror, is considered a constant threat to the region, very close to the borders of his kingdom, the city being part of the defensive system of the border between France and Aragon.
After the annexation of Roussillon to France by the Treaty of the Pyrenees, the military role of Carcassonne was greatly reduced, as the distance to the Spanish border increased considerably. The role of command post for the defense of the border was transferred to Perpignan.
The walls of the Cité date from various periods of construction. The oldest parts of the wall were erected at the time of the Visigoths. They can be recognized by the layers of small cube-shaped stones, interrupted by layers of bricks, and by the narrowness of the towers, which are already equipped with real windows. The castle was mainly built in the 12th century. The outer ring of walls with their smooth ashlars dates from the middle of the 13th century.
At the end of the 13th century some of the towers and parts of the inner wall were built, which was then being rebuilt and advanced. The ashlars from this period are mostly carved with art. The towers have several floors and are provided with loopholes. The building material for the two concentric belts of fortifications was brought from the surrounding quarries: hard sandstone, difficult to extract and work, but which over the centuries began to erode under the influence of violent storms from the southwest.
The interior of the walls is made of rounded stones, fragments of rock and sand, agglutinated with lime, which also serves as mortar. The texture of the masonry varies with each period of construction.
The regular outer wall, 1.5 kilometers long, was built in 15 years shortly after 1230, hence its uniform appearance. The construction history of the 1.3 km long inner wall is much more complicated and its masonry is far from uniform. At that time, the city already had a wall from the Gallo-Roman era that was around 1,000 years old, but it was no longer up to date. Today it forms the skeleton of the inner belt and can often be seen at the bottom of today's wall.
As always in such cases, the area between the two walls is called the Zwinger. The kennel kept the attacker in an area that militia projectiles could reach. The wall must be as high as possible, because until the 14th century people did not shoot back, they shot back. In times of peace, such a kennel was used for games and knightly combat festivals. In some cases, the old parts of the wall were supported on new foundations when they were tapped, so that the strange picture arises that the oldest part is higher than the later one.
The ditch around the wall was not filled with water, but it had the function of preventing the use of larger siege engines, which had to be directed against the wall at right angles to the direction of the Zwinger and therefore did not have sufficient access. here. The fortification of the city with a double fence corresponded to a new defensive tactic that had been designed around 1200 around the king in the time of Philip Augustus (1180-1223). His principle was: the defense must be active, it must be able to inflict heavy losses on the attacker. Therefore, more than a thousand archers were stationed on the battlements, and the towers flanked the entire wall without leaving a blind spot.
It was possible to advance towards the Zwinger between the two city walls without exposing oneself to the full mass of besiegers. This allowed early attackers who were said to have advanced this far to be pursued individually or in small groups. With this tactic, one could successfully resist even a numerically superior siege force.
Many towers of the outer line are so-called shell towers, i. that is to say, they are open at the back, so that the enemy could not take refuge once they crossed the first wall. Then it could still be attacked from the inner wall, for example by archers. However, the effectiveness of this defense has never really been proven."

This is a trail on Land Trust land on Monte Sano in Huntsville, Alabama. The woods were well shaded, almost dark at times, humid, but generally cooler. The forest is rocky and calcareous. I would consider it moist, as there are a few ephemeral stream beds and one spring that winds its way perpendicular to the trail. Very few flowers were in bloom. I found Hairy Wood Mint - Blephilia hirsuta, Heart-leaved Skullcap - Scutellaria ovata ssp. bracteata, Wild Petunia - Ruellia caroliniensis, and Indian Pink - Spigelia marilandica, the latter two just one individual plant. Quite a few butterflies, all of them Little Wood-Satyr - Megisto cymela - as far as I could tell.
The date is July 25, 2010. The place is Milan, Piazza Duomo.
For the first time an international class triathlon will be entirely held in the historic center.
The dream became a reality thanks to the determination and organizational skills I AM Sports Events. Thanks also to the municipality of Milan, which has identified further opportunities in the triathlon to attract visitors and spread a international sports city.
The idea of three guys who drive I AM Sports Events, big fans of triathlon, was created by the ambition to see their hometown stage a World Cup test (WCS) Triathlon Olympic specialties launched in 2008 with the Beijing Olympic Games and with its 1.5 km swim, 40km bike and 10km run is gaining thousands of fans and the growing curiosity of the media.
Why Milan? The city offers all the facilities needed to support the three sports, to manage the flow of participating athletes and all the logistics that a race of this level requires. The Milan Course, studied with the police to ensure spectacular evidence causing minimum inconvenience to the citizenry, is developed entirely on city soil and sees the start from the Darsena and the swimming section along the Naviglio Grande, the bike spit starting from Via D'Annunzio Cairoli with a circuit around the Parco Sempione and finally the run split from Piazza Cairoli Dome with another ring around the historic city center.
This project could be a great opportunity to try to get among the best events on this distance in the world (along with Sydney, Seoul, Madrid, Hamburg, London, Kitzbuhel, Budapest), but especially for bringing the many triathletes and Milan Italians to a wonderful and growing sport, exploiting the opportunity to bring in Milan the best of the sport worldwide.
This is our cat, Humo (pronounced Umo), which is Spanish for smoke. He spends a lot of his time outside and is a very fiesty guy. He is very sweet with us though - he purrs so much when you hold him that he drools all over you. He is also a good mouser which is a good thing where we live as there are a lot of outdoor field mice - many of which carry hanta virus.
Just two weeks ago, a person in a nearby town (14 miles away) died of hanta virus. It is scary.
I really like this picture of Humo, he is sitting on the brick ledge by the front door and it looks like he is guarding our house from any nasty mice that might want to run inside.

Goodrich Castle is a now ruinous Norman medieval castle situated to the north of the village of Goodrich in Herefordshire, England. The castle was built in the late 11th century or the early 12th century, when it was known as Godric’s Castle, named probably after Godric of Mappestone. In 1144, William Fitz Osbern seized the castle during the anarchy of the reign of Stephen. During this time, the small Norman keep to the south of the entrance gate was built by Gilbert de Clare. In 1643, during the Civil War, the Earl of Stamford garrisoned the castle for Parliament. In 1645, the castle became the scene of one of the most desperate sieges in Herefordshire. The siege continued into 1646. After being in the hands of Parliament, it was later occupied by a garrison led by the Royalist Sir Henry Lingen. It was attacked by Colonels John Birch and Kyrle. Colonel Birch built an enormous mortar that was called 'Roaring Meg' to reduce the castles defences. For years the mortar stood outside Hereford museum now the only civil war mortar to survive is situated in the inner courtyard of the castle. Eventually the Royalists surrendered. In 1647, the castle was slighted, which made it virtually uninhabitable and prohibited re-fortification. The castle is currently looked after by English Heritage. www.english-heritage.org.uk/
Taormina is a comune and small town on the east coast of the island of Sicily, Italy, in the Province of Messina, about midway between Messina and Catania. Taormina has been a very popular tourist destination since the 19th century. It has popular beaches (accessible via an aerial tramway) on the Ionian sea, which is remarkably warm and has a high salt content. Taormina can be reached via highways from Messina from the north and Catania .Just south of Taormina is the Isola Bella, a nature reserve. Tours of the Capo Sant' Andrea grottos are also available. Taormina is built on an extremely hilly coast, and is approximately a forty-five minute drive away from Europe's largest active volcano, Mount Etna.A stay at Taormina is not just a seaside vacation. This area, rich in charm and history, must be experienced in a spirit that is outside the ordinary, and for one simple reason: here, everything is extraordinary. Every stone is a thousand-year-old piece of history, the glorious sea reflects Taormina's beauty, as it shapes and marks the passage of time, and the places that enchanted the Greeks create to this day a vibrant and exciting ambiance. But trying to describe in words what makes Taormina unique is truly difficult.
Taormina ist eine Stadt mit 11.076 Einwohnern (Stand 31. Dezember 2010) an der Ostküste Siziliens. Die Gründung der Stadt geht auf die Sikuler zurück, die schon vor der griechischen Kolonisation auf den Terrassen des Monte Tauro siedelten. Im 4. Jahrhundert vor Christus wurde die Stadt griechisch. Die heutige Stadt ist eine Neugründung aus dem Mittelalter, nachdem die Araber die antike Stadt zerstört hatten.Auf Grund der malerischen Landschaft, des milden Klimas und zahlreicher historischer Sehenswürdigkeiten entwickelte sich die Stadt im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert zu einem der wichtigsten Touristenzentren Siziliens. Besonders bekannt und sehenswert sind das antike Theater mit Blick auf den Ätna und den Golf von Giardini-Naxos und die kleine Insel Isola Bella vor der Küste Taorminas.
Taormina (griego antiguo Ταυρομένιον, Tauromenion, latín Tauromenium) es una ciudad situada en la costa este de la isla de Sicilia (Italia), en la provincia de Mesina, a medio camino entre Mesina y Catania. Cuenta con 10.991 habitantes.Está casi en el límite de la provincia de Catania, se extiende por el monte Tauro, a 200 m de altitud, y se halla en un balcón sobre el mar, enfrente del volcán Etna. Es un centro turístico muy importante desde el siglo XIX.Posee magníficas playas (accesibles mediante teleférico) y un patrimonio histórico muy rico, cuyo máximo exponente es el célebre teatro greco-romano. Además, se conserva un castillo árabe, que ocupa el lugar de la antigua ciudadela o Arx.Taormina y el volcán Etna al fondo, desde el teatro griego.La ciudad fue fundada por los griegos en el 736 a. C., con el nombre de Naxos.La leyenda cuenta que los marinos griegos que pasaban por la costa oriental de Sicilia olvidaron realizar sacrificios en honor a Poseidón, y él, encolerizado, les hizo naufragar. El único superviviente, Teocles, llegó al Capo Schico, próximo a Naxos, y volvió a Grecia para contar las maravillas de Sicilia, convenciendo a sus compatriotas para instalarse en la isla.
Taormine, en italien Taormina, est une commune de la province de Messine en Sicile (Italie).Taormine est située sur la côte est de la Sicile, à peu près à mi-chemin entre Messine et Catane (50 km), presque à la limite de la province de Catane.Elle s’étend sur le Mont Tauro à 200 m d’altitude. La ville est en balcon sur la mer face à l’Etna. La Calabre, distante d'environ 30 km, est visible par temps clair ainsi que la nuit.La légende dit que des marins grecs, passant sur la côte orientale de la Sicile, avaient oublié de sacrifier à Neptune. Celui-ci, en colère, fit chavirer leur embarcation. Le seul survivant, Théocle, parvint au Cap Schiso, non loin du site de Naxos (aujourd'hui Giardini-Naxos). Il retourna ensuite en Grèce pour narrer à ses compatriotes les merveilles de la Sicile. Certains, convaincus, décidèrent de venir s’y installer.
Taormina è un comune di 10.991 abitanti della provincia di Messina. E' uno dei centri balneari di maggiore rilievo di tutta la regione. Il suo aspetto, il suo paesaggio, i suoi luoghi, le sue bellezze riescono ad attirare turisti provenienti da tutto il mondo.Situata su una collina a 206 m di altezza sul livello del mare , sospesa tra rocce e mare su un terrazzo del monte Tauro, in uno scenario di bellezze naturali unico per varietà e contrasti di motivi , splendore di colori e lussureggiante vegetazione.Il clima è dolcemente mite.Molto belle le mezze stagioni , Primavera e Autunno infatti vantano un clima idealmente mite.La storia di Taormina è sicuramente costellata da molteplici dominazioni, e questo è possibile vederlo passeggiando per le strade del centro storico che mostrano i segni lasciati dai vari popoli passati per Taomina. Essendo situata al centro del mediterraneo la Sicilia fu sempre una preda ambita per la sua posizione strategica di passaggio.Taormina essendo situata sulla parte est e in posizione fortificata su una collina permetteva già da allora di controllare buona parte della costa ionica e ha sempre rappresentato un ottimo punto di fortificazione e controllo nelle strategie di guerra. Dopo aver attestato l'esistenza di una sede di siculi ( antichi abitanti dell'isola, detti anche sicani) presso Taormina, per certo vi passarono e vi lasciarono le loro tracce I Greci, i Romani, i Saraceni, dunque gli Arabi, i Bizantini ,I Normanni , Gli Aragonesi , e per ultimi i Borboni.Un soggiorno a Taormina non è semplicemente una vacanza al mare. Questi luoghi, pregni di storia e di fascino, chiedono infatti di essere vissuti con uno spirito diverso da quello comune e la ragione è semplice: qui tutto è fuori
dall'ordinario.Ogni pietra reca in sé una storia millenaria, il mare meraviglioso su cui Taormina riflette tutta la sua bellezza, condiziona e scandisce lo scorrere del tempo ed i luoghi che furono l'incanto dei greci trasmettono tutt'oggi un'atmosfera vibrante di emozioni. Ma tentare di descrivere con le parole ciò che rende unica Taormina è davvero difficile.

This is a photograph from the Longwood GAA 10KM Road Race and Fun Run 2013 which was held in Longwood Village, Co. Meath, Ireland on Sunday 13th October 2013 at 14:00. This is the fourth year which Longwood GAA have hosted race events. In the three previous years the club had organised a 5KM road race. This year, for the first time, the club have added a 10KM road race to the agenda on the day. The events were organised as fundraisers for both the adult and juvenille teams at Longwood GAA club. The event also provided a fundraising opportunity for the local St. Vincent de Paul charity. Overall the whole day was a great success with the hard work put in by the organising committee ensuring that participants enjoyed their race experience. Both routes were accurately measured, kilometer points clearly marked, junctions well stewarded, and electronic timing provided. The event provided my local fun runners with a local event to support whilst at the same time providing runners preparing for events such as the Dublin marathon with an opportunity to race a short, fast, distance in the lead up to marathon day. The GAA club provided excellent stewarding and traffic management all around the course.
This is a photograph which is part of a larger set of photographs taken at the event. There were photographs taken at the start of the races, the 5Km point at Blackshade Bridge for the 10KM, and the finishes of both races in Longwood GAA. The full set is available at this link www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157636477484093/

Overall Race Summary
Participants: There were about 170 participants over the two events.
Weather: The weather was perfect for road racing with calm breeze and temperatures around 10C.
5KM Course: The 5KM course changed direction for the 2013 event. The race this year went on the reverse of the 2012 route. This seen the 5KM start at the Longwood GAA grounds and proceed into Longwood village. Runners then took a left turn in the Village down St. Oliver's Road. This straight section of road brings runners to a left turn onto a very well maintained boreen road for less than one kilometer. The race then emerges and joins with the 10KM at Stoneyford where the runners take a left and then another left before arriving back at the finish line in Longwood GAA club. Overall this is a very fast and flat 5KM with no hills to speak of.
10KM Course: The 10KM is new for 2013. The 10KM event begins in Longwood Village outside Stoney's Pub (goo.gl/maps/Of4fW) and proceeds westward out of the village. There are some interesting points along this part of the course. At the 2KM point the runners will run under the double bridges - an aquaduct for the Royal Canal and a bridge carrying the Dublin Sligo Railway line. The race then enters county Kildare just before the 3km and after taking a right turn at the four-cross roads known locally as Lally's Cross it returns to County Meath on top of the River Boyne Bridge (Ashfield Bridge) which forms the county boundary. The race follows a straight road for the next 2KM until runners encounter Blackshade bridge which is the toughest climb on the route. As a point of interest Blackshade bridge brings runners back over the Royal Canal and the Railway line. The race then crosses the River Boyne again at Stoneyford before taking a right which will bring runners on a testing two kilometer stretch with some short hills. The 10KM course then joins with the 5Km course for the final 1.5KM back to Longwood GAA club for the finish.

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.
