Dvigrad (Twin-town), Docastei in Istriot language, is an abandoned medieval town in central Istria, Croatia. It is located in the Draga valley. The history of the settlement is prehistoric; it remained inhabited until the 18th century.
The region was settled by the Illyrians in prehistoric times. In 1345, Dvigrad was sacked by the Genoese admiral Paganin Doria during conflicts between Genoa and Venice. The Venetians sacked the town in 1383, but did not take rule of it until 1413, when a nobleman from Koper was put in governance. In the 16th century, plague and malaria depopulated much of the town. In the year 1615 it was besieged again, by Uskoks, and while it escaped capture it was abandoned save for a few poor residents within 15 years. Only three families remained by 1650. In 1714, the last residents left the town to ruin.

Caution! Adorableness abounds! I took a little side trip to SaNaRae this morning and found this sweet set by Belle Epoque that is currently only 99L a piece! I love the design of the top as it falls easily into that sugary sexy category that I love. I'm wearing Due's new Mina hair and the ultra-rare skin from Mudskin that is sunkissed and....

Our daily ritual this winter is a walk ... either on the very frozen Keefer Lake or on our forest trail (or both). Although she is mostly very patient with me, sometimes Rosa can get frustrated when I am constantly stopping to take photos. I liked the 'hole in the sky' that was developing.
PS: That's the dog's leash in her hands - not a mobile phone. :)

There are infinite shadings of light and shadows and colors... it's an extraordinarily subtle language. Figuring out how to speak that language is a lifetime job.

Reading all my feelings, need a one-way ticket
Looking so fly 'cause I mind my business
Self-proposed but you know I'm vicious
Slow your roll, you can't lie to me, baby
I see it all in your eyes and your face
Want these knees to go opposite ways
And I see you fiendin', go off on it, babe
I don't need to speak, I'm not talkin', babe

This work is dedicated to my friend, Marta, whom I consider as family, in fact as another daughter. However, Marta has a wonderful Mother and Father both of whom I love, so she is a daughter in my heart and always will be!

Yardenit ist der Taufort am Fluss Jordan in dem Jesus getauft wurde. Der hebräische Name des Jordanflusses ist Yarden. Daraus leitet sich der Name YARDENIT ab.
Yardenit known as the Yardenit Baptismal Site, is a baptism site located along the Jordan River in the Galilee region of northern Israel,
“In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. And when he came up out of water, immediately he saw the heavens opened and the Spirit descending upon him like a dove, and a voice came from heaven; ‘Thou art my beloved Son, with thee I am well pleased.” Mark 1:9-11
Visitors to Yardenit are greeted by this very verse from Mark’s account of the baptism of Jesus in over 80 languages and dialects, depicted in hand painted tiles by Armenian artist Hagop Antreassian on the Wall of New Life.
Thanks a lot, my friends, for your visit, all your comments and faves!
Benedict went to work at E. Remington and Sons in nearby Ilion, N.Y., after his Hamilton graduation. This company not only manufactured arms and agricultural implements but also did piece work for inventors who devised new machines. One such invention, in 1873, was for a typewriter designed by Christopher Latham Sholes. Although the Remington company did not make much progress with the manufacture of the new instrument, Benedict realized its potential.
Benedict and two partners bought the rights to the typewriter and organized a firm to sell the “practical writing machine.” The name Remington was retained, and in 1902 the Remington Typewriter Co. was formed with Benedict as president until his retirement in 1913. Benedict, who served as a Hamilton trustee from 1897 until his death in 1935, provided funds for the Hall of Languages, built in 1897, and for the purchase of the Chapel organ.
