A pic of one of the 37 Outer Badui villages. This one is positioned on the side of a hill, with a river down below. The Badui, who eschew all things modern including electricity, vehicles and even soap and toothpaste, live on just 50 km² of hilly forest area – which is incredibly only 120 km from the chaotic metropolis of Jakarta. The Inner Baduy area is completely off limits to foreigners and an extremely strict taboo system is in force there.
The Inner Badui are the only one of these two major clans that have the Pu'un, the spiritual priest of the Baduy. The Pu'un are the only people permitted to visit the most hallowed and sacred ground of the Baduy which lies on Gunung Kendeng, in a place called Arca Domas, the birthplace of this planet and most probably the universe itself.

Tribute to Billy Ruane a rocking affair
news.bostonherald.com/entertainment/music/general/view/20...
By Jim Sullivan
Friday, November 19, 2010 - Updated 1 week ago
Billy Ruane was a whirlwind of energy, an avid music enthusiast and something of a madman. He was a galvanizing, if occasionally polarizing, figure on the Boston rock scene for three decades.
Ruane promoted shows and danced with reckless abandon all over town. At various times, he was banned from two of his favorite clubs, the Middle East and T.T. the Bear’s Place, for his over-the-top antics.
Wednesday night, the life of Ruane - who died from a heart attack last month at 52 - was celebrated at both clubs with a multiband concert.
He had planned a similar celebration for his Nov. 10 birthday. After his death, his longtime friend, singer Mary Lou Lord, organized an expanded gathering for an Irish wake-styled memorial. The local rock community made it a sellout. Lord predicted “chaos of epic proportions,” adding that “Billy wouldn’t have it any other way.”
Chaos there was. Not everything went off on time. But no matter. There was stirring music from longtime Ruane favorites like Willie Alexander, with his hypnotic, beat-infused piano-based songs; Chris Brokaw, with feedback-drenched electric guitar skronk; and Buffalo Tom, with infectious noise-pop. Ruane’s latest find, the young singer Aly Spaltro (also known as Lady Lamb the Beekeeper), delivered a closing segment of wrenching and soulful punk-blues.
Pat McGrath, Ruane’s adviser, emceed at the Middle East and paid tribute to his late friend, warts and all. Southie novelist Michael Patrick MacDonald read a passage based on an encounter with Ruane at a loft party in the ’80s. Though MacDonald’s rough upbringing was far different than Ruane’s life of privilege, they found common ground in punk rock - and liberation through music.
Early on, Randy Black played a tear-jerking version of the Beatles’ “In My Life” and recalled the multiple wet kisses Ruane would plant on him and everyone else. “He connected this community,” Black said. “There was glue in that spit.”
Peter Wolf did three songs, including a mournful “Start All Over Again.” “I’m talking about those good days, those sad days, those happy days,” Wolf sang in the coda. The sometime J. Geils Band singer recalled his first encounter with Ruane after a Geils gig. The dapper, suit-clad Ruane introduced himself before vomiting on Wolf. Nevertheless, a friendship formed, one based on a love of literature, poetry and music.
Ruane’s sister, Lili Ruane, took the stage at the Middle East several times. “You guys are his family,” she said. “You accepted him as he was. He was brilliant, a genius and expressive, as you know.”
The second time she spoke, her boyfriend Win Smith came out to propose as she held the brass urn that contained her brother’s ashes. She accepted. At night’s end, she tossed some of Billy’s ashes into the crowd. (Ultimately, his urn will reside at the Middle East.)
“I understood Billy’s role,” said Jon Langford, a Chicago-based Brit and longtime favorite of Ruane’s whose band Skull Orchard played a ripping set at T.T. the Bear’s. “Billy was a complete maverick, this strange weird thing, totally involved in music.”
Ruane was known for his support, emotional and financial, of numerous musicians. He loved many different kinds of music and that diversity was well represented onstage Wednesday.
“It was a great night,” said singer Linda Viens, who performed with Catherine Coleman. “Billy’s not gone. He lives on in the camaraderie, in the communion, in the great, majestic noise of rock ’n’ roll, and in the hearts of all those destined to love it and to play it.”

This is a photograph from the second running of the newly situated Irish 3/4 Marathon (formerly the Athlone 3/4) which was held in Longwood, Enfield, Co. Meath, Ireland on Sunday 8th of October 2017 at 10:00. The event is positioned perfectly in the calendar as a key training race before the Dublin City Marathon at the end of the month. This year was the second year that the event was held in Longwood, Co. Meath which is now well known for its hosting of the Longwood 10KM/5KM annual races and a host venue for East of Ireland Marathon series marathons on a bi-annual basis. The race started and finished at Longwood GAA club just outside the village of Longwood. It followed an anti-clockwise course around the beautiful picturesque countryside of south Meath. The course went through the townlands of Longwood, Castlerickard, Killyon, Hill-of-Down, Anneville and Ashfield Clonard, Blackshare, Stoneyford and back to Longwood. The river Boyne and Blackwater were crossed as was the Royal Canal and the Dublin-Sligo Railway line at Hill-of-Down. Overall this was a very different course to the previous years in Athlone. The overall elevation of the course works out at 3/4 of the total elevation of the Dublin Marathon course. What most stood out about today's race was the course and how the countryside around it looked on a beautiful almost perfect Autumn morning. There was a large local effort with stewarding and many local people watched from their gardens as the race passed by. The organisation of the race was first class with every detail taken care of from the start until the finish. There was some rain showers from about 13:00 onwards but these soon passed.
There is a large set of photographs from today's race - taken at the start in Longwood village and the 25KM mark outside near our home.
They are available on our Flickr photostream at the following set. www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157687694983023

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!

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.

Day 27 had me wanting to get back into the learning mode with the cam, this time moving water.
The day started out perfectly for this shot,just right for a slow shutter speed, overcast.
Once finished with my AM clients, the sun was out. The brook was long and tight, with open sun on either end, but this wall and vine made for a great backdrop. Over all was fun setting up outside, keeping an eye out for snakes, tripod position, cam settings and staying out of the water.
A fun learning experience, and now i am looking forward to the next creek, stream or waterfall.
Church of St. Stephan
Tower of the parish church
The parish church of St. Stephen's is a Roman Catholic church and is on the eastern edge of the old city core (parish court) of Baden in Lower Austria. The tower with the characteristic Baroque onion dome is visible from far away and still dominates the cityscape.
History
The Church of Baden belonged to the diocese of Passau for centuries. This long ties recalled that the parish church of the Holy Baden Is dedicated to Stephen, the patron saint of Passau. Bathing was originally a branch of the mother parish churches of Traiskirchen.
In 1220 a priest in Baden was first documented. What position he had - he might have been chaplain to the castle Baden - was not mentioned. As Traiskirchen with all its branches to the Melk Abbey, it was assumed it was in 1312 for separation of Baden. It has now an independent parish under the patronage of Melk. After prolonged disputes between the bishops of Passau and Melk the Abbey Melk in 1693 handed over the right of patronage to Passau. When the dwarf Diocese of Vienna was founded in 1469 was elevated to archbishopric in 1729 , it came to assign the previously belonging to Passau area south of Vienna, including Baden. 1784 Baden is finally sovereign's parish.
From the original parish area of Baden several new parishes were created: Sooß (from 1783 parish ), St. Christopher (St. Helena in 1783 raised as to the parish) and St. Joseph (1990 applicable to the parish). The parish is about 6,000 Catholics today with one of the largest parishes of the Deanery Baden. Besides the parish church, also belong to other churches and chapels of the parish pastoral area .
Appearance
The architectural history of the church in front of the building at the end of the 15th Century can only being guessed based on the remaining components. Mentioned in documents is only the existence of a charnel house (charnel house) in 1258. But have worked in Baden before that time priests and Baden castle certainly had a church or chapel, one can assume that towards the end of the 12th Century a church was located on the present site .
The immediate predecessor dates back to the Romanesque period. This church was probably a three-nave building with two low towers between which the chancel and apse were. Around 1400 began the construction of a Gothic chancel, including the lower church, which was built in the Romanesque apse and this eventually replaced. The nave of the church was in the second half of the 15th century erected, thereby including the Romanesque exterior walls. This period also saw the establishment of the main tower over the existing two Romanesque towers fall. This work - probably made necessary by a partial destruction of the church during the Hungarian invasion - had to be interrupted again and again in these troubled times. The main tower was not completed and finally covered with a gable roof. Only in 1697, after the tower was damaged in the wars against the Turks, put it on the appearance typical baroque onion dome. The most northern Vorturm (ante-tower) still existing remains of a "murder Gallery" reminiscent of the involvement of the Church in the defenses of the city. Around the year 1480, the Gotisierung (gothification) to have been completed. Puzzles are on the tower located in the west over the main entrance. The so-called "shot- tower" once towered far beyond the roof and, like the main tower was heavily damaged in the wars against the Turks. In 1827 it received its present appearance. It is believed that this tower was built in the Gothic period.
The 67 meter high tower, incidentally, is the so-called parament chamber and the watchman's apartment, on which until the 20th Century the sacristan lived. The belfry holds five bells. Of them survived the two world wars: the "Great Bell" (2000 kg tone: H) from 1832 and the " litany bell " (950 kg Sound: s) from in 1764. The other three bells were cast in 1949 : "Marie Bell" (sound : fis ) , the " Joseph Bell" (sound : gis) and the " Urbaniglocke " (sound : h).
Interior Design

Paul Troger: Stoning of St. Stephen
Furnishings from the Romanesque and Gothic periods are scarce. From the Romanesque still can be found animal heads that are immured in the vaults of the central nave. The Gothic remember especially the baptismal font and several angels on the church walls and at the south gate. The period after 1480 to 1683 is marked by the Ottoman wars and the Reformation, where the Baden ministers eagerly have been engaged. Therefore receive only grave monuments from the Renaissance period, some of which are attached to the pillars of the Church. Noteworthy is a grave slab in the chapel for the Baden minister Joseph Vincent Bauernfeind († 1517).
The Turkish wars of 1529 and 1683 brought with it severe damage. So had to be replaced in addition to the placement of the tower bulb especially the interior of the church in the Baroque style. During the 18th Century was the formation of several side altars in the nave of the church at the beginning of each side of the ship, the Lady altar to the pulpit, the altar and the Sebastian Anthony altar. Joseph's Chapel was also the Baroque style. Where today stands the main altar, were erected an altar in honor of the Holy Cross, but in 1758 in the former sacristy below the North Tower (Chapel of the Cross) was added. At the same time was finished the construction of the present sacristy. Also worthnoting is that the Sebastian altar was donated to the plague year of 1713 the Baden citizenship as a reminder. This is attested to by a votive tablet, which now hangs above the output in the sacristy. In the chancel, the windows were bricked up almost entirely and set a Baroque high altar. The altarpiece depicting the stoning of St. Stephen painted the famous Baroque artist Paul Troger. In the sacristy the Baroque has left its mark: the altar in honor of St. Francis Xavier and the valuable baroque sacristy cabinet from 1743.
In 1880 began extensive Regotisierungsarbeiten (re-gothification work). 1893, the Baroque high altar was replaced by the current. Only the high altarpiece remained in the church and got its present location on the output with the vestry. The walled-up windows in the chancel were re-opened. Similarly, the neo-Gothic paneling and the choir was built. Even the altars in the aisles and the St. Joseph's Chapel and the Chapel of the Cross were again re-gothicised. Is painful that in this course the original Gothic console statues on the walls have been replaced be new-gothic ones. Only one has been preserved and is on display in Baden Schiestl-Hof. With the transformation of the side entrances ended 1913 gothicised parish church.
In the 70 years the great interior and exterior renovation of the church took place. There were several rooms grown during the installation of a district heating at the north gate. The interior renovation of the main altar and today's session was established. The neo-Gothic altars in the aisles were removed, and only the remaining altar statues. Also, the defective Baroque pews were replaced by new ones. In 1989, the altar of the Chapel of the Cross was eventually transferred to the parsonage, and there set up a chapel.
Organ
The Hencke-Organ
The organ of the parish church was originally built for the Dorotheerkirche in Vienna in 1787 and brought here. It is a work of the famous organ builder Johann Hencke from the year 1744.
During the renovation in 1987 (organ building Gerhard Hradetzky Oberbergen in Lower Austria) the original keys have been re-installed, on which have probably already played Mozart and Beethoven. The organ has 28 stops on two manuals and pedal.
Mozart, who had assisted in the performance of several of his shows in Baden St. Stephen was a friend of the former choir director Anton Stoll in 1791 and dedicated to him his famous Ave Verum K. 618, probably in June 23rd of 1791 was premiered in the parish church .

The point of this exercise was to show that using a) distance and b) aperture we can control what David refers to as depth of field of light.

For more pictures of Henry Parkes related locations have a look at Tamsin's Parkes Discovery Set
Henry was born at Moat House Cottage in Canley , which was then part of the Stoneleigh Estate, owned by the Leigh family. For at least a century the Parkes family had been tenant farmers there, growing wheat, barley, and other arable crops.
It was the year of Waterloo – 1815 – when Henry Parkes was born. Between his birth on May 27 and his baptism on July 5 at St Mary the Virgin Church in Stoneleigh , the great Battle of Waterloo had taken place, though how soon news of it reached the little village of Stoneleigh is hard to tell.
Not long after Henry’s birth, however, his father Thomas took the decision to move the family to a larger farm on the estate, near present-day Gibbet Hill . Since the beginning of the Napoleonic Wars, Britain had been cut off from trade with much of Europe and consequently the price of food had soared. This, coupled with several years of drought sent crop prices ever higher – and Thomas Parkes saw his chance to cash in.
Henry and his six siblings grew up at the farm, and from there he would walk to the school in Stoneleigh.
When he was just eight years old, however, Henry’s formal education came to a sudden halt. The Parkes’ rental was quadrupled to reflect the increase in the price of wheat, but when the wars were over and crop prices fell dramatically, rental costs on the estate did not. When, in 1822, Henry’s father Thomas was incapacitated by an accident which left him on crutches, he was even less able to run his farm at a profit and a year later, in 1823, Thomas Parkes was removed from his farm, heavily in debt.
There followed a terrible time for the family, and by the age of 11 Henry was working in a rope factory and later in a rock-breaking gang. Aged 12 he was apprenticed to a bone and ivory turner, John Holding of Moseley Street in Birmingham, and made products such as knife handles, hair combs and toys.
He began to self-educate at the same time, joining the Birmingham Mechanics’ Institute and reading avidly, especially poetry. By the age of 16 he was fired by an enthusiasm for radical politics, the Chartist Movement then being at its height.
For adversity in youth made him look towards new beginnings, and in 1839 he and his young wife Clarinda set off for New South Wales, Australia, a child being born to them on board ship, just two days before arrival in Sydney.
Henry set about finding employment, and eventually founded a newspaper, The Empire, in 1850. His taste for politics, begun in Birmingham, led ultimately to the extraordinary achievement of being elected Premier of New South Wales no less than five times.
Australians today remember Sir Henry Parkes as “The Father of Federation”, for it was his dream to see the various states of Australia combined. Sadly he was not to live to see this happen, as he died in 1896 and Federation finally came about in 1901.
Recognition of his enormous contribution to Australian politics has come, however, through the town of Parkes being named after him (twinned with Coventry in 1939), and in his image being reproduced on banknotes and coins.
In 1882 Sir Henry Parkes returned for the final time to his native village, after dining with the Prime Minister, Gladstone, and attending a State Ball at Buckingham Palace. First, on April 3 he paid a private visit to see the school where he received his early education. The school logbook carries an entry written by him, to record the event.
Three weeks later, in April, he stayed at Stoneleigh Abbey with Lord Leigh, who made a short speech of congratulation to an “old Stoneleigh boy” who now held such a distinguished position. Sir Henry’s speech in response remarked upon his vivid and affectionate recollections of the village.
Before leaving England for the last time he returned in June, and was feted at the Reading Room – now the village club – before leaving to the accompaniment of the village fife and drum band, the pealing of church bells and anvil-firing from the blacksmith’s forge!
As he drove away, he must have felt that his life’s journey from Stoneleigh, Warwickshire to Sydney, New South Wales had been a long and momentous one. Today, in Stoneleigh and Coventry, we continue to honour the memory of one of our greatest sons.
