Many people have thought of this before, now its my turn. But I know I won't have an answer, because whatever I chose, the opposite will come up.
Mark Question is a bit of mystery. He lives for philosophy and constantly ponders life and its mysteries. Mark asks more questions than he or anyone else can ever answer.
Mark’s special move is just one big question, no one knows what it is (yet amazingly it still has a rank?!) This is just the type of Mystery Mark craves!

• Carte blanche à Benoît Hamon sur la Transition Énergétique et le Monde de Demain :
Dans un gymnase Japy bien rempli, accueillant selon les organisateurs quelque 2.500 personnes, M. Hamon a entamé son long discours d'environ deux heures en dénonçant le "crime de guerre" qui est en train de se dérouler à Alep, demandant que les responsables soient traduits devant la "Cour pénale internationale".
Enchaînant sur la crise des migrants, l'ancien ministre de l'Education a rappelé la tradition d'accueil de la France, et dit la "honte (qu'il a) ressentie quand un Premier ministre issu des rangs de la gauche est allé tancer une chancelière allemande conservatrice pour lui dire de ne pas en faire autant en matière d'accueil des réfugiés". Dans son viseur bien sûr, l'ancien Premier ministre Manuel Valls, lui aussi candidat à la primaire du PS depuis la renonciation de François Hollande.
M. Hamon s'est pour sa part prononcé pour un accueil plus large des migrants, la création d'un "visa humanitaire" pour les réfugiés et la remise en cause des accords de Dublin qui obligent aujourd'hui à renvoyer les réfugiés dans le pays de l'UE où ils ont été enregistrés.
M. Hamon n'a pas non plus épargné son ancien comparse Arnaud Montebourg, avec qui il avait été évincé du gouvernement en août 2014, et qui est aussi désormais un de ses adversaires de la primaire: "je ne vais pas vous faire le numéro +attention à la vaisselle+, quand Benoît Hamon va débarquer à Berlin à Bruxelles on va entendre la France (...) La stratégie de la vaisselle cassée je n'y crois pas", a ironisé M. Hamon, qui plaide plutôt pour la réorientation de l'UE via la construction d'alliances avec les gauches européennes.
Le député des Yvelines a aussi rejeté la proposition de service civique ou militaire obligatoire de M. Montebourg.
Césarisme
Autre cible de choix, Emmanuel Macron, dont Benoît Hamon a stigmatisé vertement la volonté de se refaire une "virginité politique" en critiquant les partis, tout en créant un parti "dans lequel il est dans "une relation directe avec la base", empreint de "césarisme", et où "il n'y a aucune forme d'intelligence collective". Il a par ailleurs jugé "injuste" sa décision de défiscaliser la distribution d'actions gratuites pour les cadres du privé.
De manière générale, M. Hamon a critiqué "l'échec sur l'essentiel" du quinquennat, selon lui symbolisé par plusieurs mesures en contradiction avec l'histoire de la gauche: la relative stagnation du Smic, qui "a plus augmenté sous le quinquennat de Sarkozy que sous celui de François Hollande", la décision de créer 10.000 places supplémentaires de prison, comme si la gauche avait renoncé aux mesures alternatives à l'incarcération, l'absence d'une politique de régularisation des sans-papiers.
Sans oublier la déchéance de nationalité, une mesure proposée par "calcul politique" et qui a été pour lui une "rupture (...) profonde, décisive, identitaire".
Tout au long d'un discours touffu qui a laissé la part belle à l'improvisation, M. Hamon a développé les grands axes de son programme: revenu d'existence universel, inscription dans la Constitution de la nécessité de protéger les biens communs, plan de sortie du diesel...
Pas de final en transe pour lui, sur le modèle d'Emmanuel Macron lors de son meeting de la Porte de Versailles samedi: perdu dans ses papiers, le député des Yvelines a fini par retrouver sa conclusion, appelant ses partisans à "allumer les lumières du futur" et à "faire battre le cœur de la France", son slogan de campagne.

___________________________________________________
Ce que contient le programme de Benoît Hamon
Le candidat à la primaire de la gauche porte un programme social, notamment avec le revenu universel, mais aussi très écolo. Du rose, et beaucoup de vert.
Il récuse "l'option sociale-libérale, sociale-démocrate, présentée par Manuel Valls et Vincent Peillon". Il reconnaît "incontestablement des valeurs communes" avec Arnaud Montebourg, mais se veut "moins productiviste, moins souverainiste, plus européen, attaché à un modèle de développement plus tempérant" que son ancien collègue du gouvernement. Benoît Hamon, député socialiste des Yvelines, est l'un des principaux candidats à la primaire de la gauche en vue de la présidentielle de 2017... et l'un des plus verts.
"Benoît Hamon se projette dans un nouveau monde, le nôtre mais aussi celui de nos enfants et de nos petits-enfants", avance son porte-parole, le député Alexis Bachelay. "Son programme est tourné vers les mutations du monde du travail et les mutations écologiques." Que propose Benoît Hamon exactement ?
1 . Un revenu universel d'existence
Benoît Hamon est l'un des premiers, en France, à avoir formulé la proposition d'un revenu universel. Mais il n'est pas le seul. Le revenu universel est aussi au programme d'Europe Ecologie-les Verts. Plus récemment, Manuel Valls s'est converti à l'idée.
Le principe :
"Créer un revenu universel d'existence d'un montant de 750 euros par mois pour tous les Français dès l'âge de 18 ans."
Le revenu universel est un revenu-socle accordé à tous, sans contrepartie. C'est un droit accordé à la personne, qu'elle soit salariée ou non. "Le revenu universel sera la protection sociale du XXIe siècle", estime Benoît Hamon, qui constate qu'aujourd'hui 8,8 millions de personnes vivent sous le seuil de pauvreté en France.
Le revenu universel va être expérimenté début 2017 en Finlande, à l'initiative d'un gouvernement de droite. 2.000 personnes tirées au sort recevront 560 euros par mois, non imposables.
Là ou Manuel Valls parle de "fusionner la plupart des minima sociaux existants", sans plus de précision, Benoît Hamon, lui, détaille son plan. La mise en place du revenu universel a lieu en trois étapes :
• Dès 2017, le RSA connaît une augmentation de 10%. Il passe donc de 525 à 577 euros pour une personne seule sans enfants. Et le RSA est ouvert aux adultes de moins de 25 ans.
• Entre 2018 et 2020, le RSA est élargi aux 50 millions d'adultes, il devient ainsi un revenu universel.
• Par la suite, le montant de ce revenu universel est augmenté peu à peu, pour atteindre 750 euros.
Coût final : 450 milliards, selon l'estimation présentée par Benoît Hamon. Comment le candidat compte-t-il financer une telle dépense ? Par une hausse des prélèvements. Car la création du revenu universel est l'occasion pour le député de proposer une réforme en profondeur de la fiscalité :
• lutte contre l'évasion fiscale et contre les fraudes aux cotisations sociales
• réduction des niches fiscales
• élargissement de l'assiette de l'impôt sur le revenu
• taxation progressive du patrimoine (réforme de la taxe foncière et ISF élargi)
• création d'une fiscalité sur les robots et les machines.
2. Douze mesures pour engager la transition écologique
Benoît Hamon s'efforce de lier deux dimensions, la défense de l'environnement et la protection sociale. "Ce sont les plus pauvres qui sont les plus exposés aux risques associés à la dégradation de l'environnement et de nos modes de vie", rappelle l'ancien ministre de l'Economie solidaire, "la gauche ne devrait pas avoir à choisir entre la protection de notre planète et le progrès social". Son mot d'ordre :
"La question écologique est inséparable de la question sociale."
Parmi les douze mesures présentées par Benoît Hamon :
• Une "grande conférence nationale" sur l'environnement et la santé avec les acteurs de la société civile, une "démocratie environnementale" qui protège nos biens communs, l'eau et l'air
• L’abandon de l'aéroport du Grand Ouest : "Moi président, il n'y aura pas d'aéroport à Notre-Dame-des-Landes"
• Un plan de rénovation énergétique des logements sociaux et des logements privés
• Un plan de sortie du diesel "à l'horizon 2025"
un objectif de "50% d'énergie renouvelable dès 2025", par l'investissement public, la réorganisation d'EDF et des projets au niveau européen
• Mettre la finance au service de la transition écologique" avec "une TVA différenciée pour les produits les plus vertueux
• La lutte contre le gaspillage et l'obsolescence programmée des objets
• L'interdiction des pesticides les plus dangereux, des agences régionales chargées de développer les circuits courts,
• La lutte contre la maltraitance animale
• Le développement de l'économie sociale et solidaire, de l'économie du partage.
• L'écologie, dans le programme de Benoît Hamon, porte aussi une ambition de relance de l'Europe, une "Europe des projets", pour "faire émerger un nouveau modèle de développement, plus tempérant".
3. Pour la santé, priorité à l'égalité
Parmi ses propositions, retenons deux mesures saillantes :
• La lutte contre les déserts médicaux. Benoît Hamon entend "repenser la couverture médicale" en France, en favorisant le modèle "des maisons de santé pluridisciplinaires" et en multipliant les aides à l'installation des médecins. Pour cela, une "mission nationale d'accès aux soins" disposera d'un budget spécifique.
• Un plan "sport et santé". Le candidat propose "le remboursement par la Sécurité sociale de la pratique sportive quand elle est prescrite par les médecins et adaptée pour les maladies chroniques". Le but ? "Encourager les comportements bénéfiques" pour la santé. Il soutiendra aussi la création de salles de sport dans les entreprises.
Le candidat préfère parler des dépenses nouvelles que de leur financement. Il ne dit pas comment le régime de santé, encore en déficit, pourrait revenir enfin à l'équilibre.
• De meilleurs remboursements. Benoît Hamon promet d'améliorer la prise en charge, "notamment en matière de soins dentaires". A l'inverse, il demande une "approche rigoureuse sur les médicaments de confort [...] là où le bénéfice de santé est marginal".
Pas de financement. Il se dit "contre indexer les politiques de santé sur l'équilibre des comptes". Et appelle à mettre "fin aux politiques inutiles d'allègement de cotisations sociales qui ne sont jamais intégralement compensées par l'Etat".
4. La VIe République
Le projet de Benoît Hamon en matière de réforme des institutions est pour le moins ambitieux. L'ancien animateur du Nouveau parti socialiste, un courant du PS, défend de longue date le principe d'une VIe République. Son mot d'ordre :
"Le mythe de l'homme providentiel est mort, nous devons changer les pratiques de la politique."
Là aussi, les mesures proposées par Benoît Hamon rencontrent le programme d'EELV. Sa VIe République est plus parlementaire et fortement teintée de démocratie directe.
Le programme de Benoît Hamon contient 28 propositions pour "rénover notre démocratie". "Nos démocraties représentatives sont à bout de souffle", estime-t-il. "Notre responsabilité est d'inventer un nouveau modèle qui redonne aux citoyens leur voix, leur pouvoir et leur rôle de premier plan dans notre démocratie." Parmi les mesures
• Un 49.3 citoyen. 1% du corps électoral (450.000 électeurs) pourra imposer qu'une proposition de loi soit examinée par le Parlement, ou que l'application d'une loi soit suspendue, le temps d'organiser un référendum. C'est une référence évidente au 49.3 utilisé par Manuel Valls pour imposer la loi sur le travail, que Benoît Hamon a combattue.
• La limitation du recours à l'article 49.3 au vote du budget et du budget de la Sécurité sociale.
• La prise en compte du vote blanc. Si le vote blanc est majoritaire, l'élection doit être reportée.
• Un président de la République élu pour sept ans, et aux pouvoirs limités, chargé de veiller à l'équilibre des pouvoirs et des projets de long terme de la Nation. L'abrogation de l'article 16 qui permet au président de s'arroger les pleins pouvoirs.
• Une dose de proportionnelle pour élire les députés.
• La transformation du Sénat en "collège des territoires".
• Le droit de vote des étrangers aux élections locales. Cette mesure figurait dans le programme de François Hollande, qui y a renoncé faute de majorité pour la voter à l'Assemblée et au Sénat. Benoît Hamon veut contourner l'obstacle en ayant recourt au référendum.
• La possibilité pour les citoyens de proposer des amendements lors de la discussion des lois, de décider directement d'une partie du budget (budget participatif).
Une loi antitrust dans les médias.
5. Un "visa humanitaire"
Benoît Hamon a proposé mercredi, lors de son meeting au gymnase Japy, la création d'un "visa humanitaire" pour "sortir de l'hypocrisie et refaire de la France une terre d'asile". Son slogan, qui vise Manuel Valls :
"Je me désole qu'on se réjouisse à gauche du nombre d'expulsions et de reconduites à la frontière."
Dénonçant les "crimes contre l'humanité" qui ont lieu à Alep, en Syrie, Benoît Hamon veut refonder la politique d'asile, remettre en cause des accords de Dublin et consacrer des moyens à l'apprentissage du français.

I finally have to cave in. I took this shot in Bandon, Oregon in July - the most beautiful song was coming from this guy. I have been reluctant to put this shot on as it was beyond the capabilities of my lens and about as bad as it gets but I just have to know what bird this is?
PS: Not that this shot is going to get a lot of attention but, from now on, any group with huge icons will be ignored. This group thing is getting out of hand and starting to take up too much time, as well. I appreciate the appreciation, so to speak - but have decided to stay with the old trusted groups. I, on the other hand, will respond with faves and, occasionally, with one of the "old" awards.
There's just something about a red bmw. What makes it that much more bittersweet is that the torch will be passed onto the new owner this weekend to enjoy, and a new project begins for Tony.
What's funny is when I met Tony he was driving his red 330i. We struct up a conversation probably about bmw's or his awesome wheel fitment, and somehow subaru's came up. I just mentioned I picked up a great winter/photo mobile a wrx wagon, then Tony proceeds to tell me he runs one of the nations biggest Subaru performance shops, TurninConcepts . From there, Tony has been always awesome in helping answer questions, troubleshooting, or just chatting about cars (bmws OR subarus).
Cheers to you Tony, and good luck on your next project!!

Philippe Crist (Project Manager, ITF) answering a question during the Summit Kick-Off Press Conference at the International Transport Forum’s 2018 Summit on “Transport Safety and Security” in Leipzig, Germany on 23 May 2018.
Which is important intent or content ?
In nature photography is nature the artist or the photographer ?
Is photography art of choosing or art of seeing ?
Do we fill objects in our frame or remove emptiness ?
Postits are the preferred media of choice for ICT teachers at Suffolk's conference.
Thinking about all sorts of big questions.
The beggar who was at the door of the temple (and requested his photo not be taken) asked me why the temple doors are closed between 12pm and 5pm. Shouldn't God be accessible at least during the waking hours (5am to 9pm). What if people wanted to pray between 12pm and 5pm? Should they just go back home with a sad heart? I had no answer.
Well, not really but I'm still out in the garden! Sunny but oh so cold, today - why's the weather so strange, now that's a question?!
Our Daily Challenge ~ Curved or Curled ....
Apologies for being more or less absent from Flickr - I appear to be uploading some photos and disappearing but that's because I've been somewhat busy this week! Hopefully, back to normal soon!
Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... thanks to you all.
The confession of an artist
Sooner or later most of people come to the question: 'Why do I do it?'. Artists are not exception. But to be honest I want to change a question a little bit, let it be this way: 'Why do I create?'
Truly, why does Mari Nino create?
The pictures that I create are dedicated to the different aspects of life and themes that bother me. I am inclined to an order and any of my concept that you see was careful prepared beforehand. I am an ardent opponent of senselessness.
At first I create to show a story. Everyone of us has a unique experience, a story to be told. Every person is like a character from the book with certain traits of character, that brings something inimitable into the world. I love creating characters in progress. It is important to me that the viewer asks himself such questions as 'Who is this hero?', 'What does he do?', 'What is his story?'. Creating a series helps a lot in building up a character and showing his/her progress. The moment I got the camera and decided to show viewers concepts, I tried to create my first series. This is how series dedicated to the nature beginning in human appeared ('Forest obsession' www.flickr.com/photos/mariam_pic/sets/72157626945198054/) and a series dedicated to difficulties of a person in limited space ('Rooms' www.flickr.com/photos/mariam_pic/sets/72157626945206076/). Today's series 'England, 50s' conveys the spirit of past times and shows melancholic mood of a character.
I create to show beauty of the world and the creatures that live on it. My works are full of dreaminess, frankness and the highest degree of naivety.
I see the world philosophically and believe that everything I see is not that easy as it seems. In my pictures I ask the viewer questions and not always give my personal answers. I suggest the viewer to get into the topic personally and try to find the truth. My goal is to suggest an idea, to make someone think.
I can't tell if everything that I have written above is truth. It is the viewer who decides. I just want to say that I am ready to search for the truth together.

The music boxes approximately measure: (W x D x H): 3 in x 2 3/4 in x 1 3/4 in!
7,6 cm x 7 cm x 4,5 cm
Let me know if you have any questions, I can't wait to work with you!
So question. If you came halfway across the country and wanted to shoot a shortline railroad with classic old geeps how would you feel if THIS is what you saw? Yeah, I think most of you would, like me, be umm...not happy to put it politely! In fact my local friends and I have a totally un-PC derisive term we use when railroads set up their power this way, but I won't repeat that here.
However, my two friends were super excited to see the units come into view coupled nose to nose. You guys know who you are! And while I truly do not understand it, I'm glad you were happy and it just goes to show that in this hobby, as in life, tastes and preferences are truly diverse and who am I to judge right? I mean come on, I like shooting CSXT Gevos on cloudy days after all!
Anyway, here is Pioneer Valley local PV2 starting back to Westfield after making their biweekly trek north to work a handful of customers and deliver some cars to the Pan Am Southern interchange.

Thousands go underground as Limerick Tunnel open day proves a big success
NRA has no official opening date for €660 million road project
Published Date: 19 June 2010
By Mike Dwane
GLORIOUS sunshine attracted thousands of curious visitors to the Limerick Tunnel on Saturday as the Direct Route consortium hosted a public open day.
No official opening date has been set for the motorists eager to use the €660 million road project but Saturday was the first and last chance for pedestrians, cyclists, prams and even dogs to travel the 700 metres under the Shannon.
"It's been a huge turnout and everybody is delighted with it. The weather has helped obviously. It's great for people to come and see the project on what will be their one and only chance to walk through the tunnel and get a feel for what it is like," said Tom Meagher, the NRA's resident engineer on the project.
"The next time they go through the tunnel, they will be whizzing through it in 30 seconds," he added.
When that might be is not certain, however.
"The contractual date is September 23 and obviously the contractor is hoping to finish prior to that. Everyone is working as hard as they can to try and finish as early as possible.
"Officially, we don't have a date. We have a lot of snagging and small items to finish on the scheme. As soon as they are done and the project is safe to open, it will be opened," Mr Meagher said.
Park and ride bus services were in operation at Limerick Racecourse, the City East business park and the Kilmurray Lodge to ferry visitors to and from the tunnel. Marquees erected on the north bank of the river allowed members of the public ask questions of the project engineers and view a scale model of the Southern Ring Phase Two scheme.
Queues formed at the stall run by The Intolligent Ltd, the company which issues electronic tags which can be mounted on the windscreen and provide a more convenient way of paying the €1.80 tunnel toll over multiple journeys.
"There has been absolutely huge interest so far," said Siobhan Hatworth, The Intolligent, "the majority from private individuals rather than business users so far. A lot of people are excited by how it works and this is going to make their commutes so much easier."
Vendors were also dishing out food and refreshments for the thousands who came along. And in association with Limerick Rotary, Direct Route was selling commemorative tunnel booklets in aid of local chairities like Milford Care Centre, Cystic Fibrosis Association Limerick and Thomond House.
Laura Kelly, Kilfinane, said "it is very impressive from an engineering point of view but from a financial point of view, with the state the country is in, you have to question how viable it might be. I can see people avoiding the toll and using the old road."
But Tony and Carmel Mason from Cratloe were not in agreement.
"I imagine we will use it a lot. We have to cross from one side to the other on a fairly regular basis so it will definitiely be a great asset to us. What you might pay on the toll, you will save on fuel and you don't have the frustration of the traffic," said Mr Mason.
Mr Mason has a boat and has "floated over the tunnel a few times, including when they were building it and laying it on the riverbed but it's good to be finally in it".
Cratloe has been particularly badly disrupted during construction but those days are almost at an end.
"It was an inconvenience during the peak construction time but now that we're almost there, it's great and we'll be relived of all that soon. You have to put up with it. You can't stop progress," he said.
Meanwhile, Donal Cooper from Newcastle West had one or two ideas of his own as he stood directly under the Shannon at the tunnel's lowest point.
"I wonder how much water is above me right now and what weight it is? The thing is will it draw Clare and Limerick closer together or should we have a passport centre at the Clare side like we had years ago? I'm proposing passport control to stop Clare people coming across. We shouldn't let them in and we should start taking over more land on the Clare side," he said.
He also noted that the toll revenue was collected on the north and not on the south side of the river.
"In Limerick, we leave people through free of charge and have done so for years whereas in Clare , what else would you expect," he joked.

Sin embargo, lo más probable es que sí lo encuentres. Es muy importante mantener la calma, de modo que puedas buscar a tu mascota sin que la ansiedad nuble tu juicio. Respira profundo y utiliza este artículo para ayudarte a encontrar a tu peludo amigo. Parte1Busca en tu casa 1 Pregunta a los miembros de tu familia. Si no has visto a tu perro por un buen rato, pregúntales a los miembros de tu familia. Es posible que el perro se haya escondido en una de las habitaciones o que algún familiar lo haya llevado a dar un paseo. Con ello también podrás determinar cuándo fue la última vez que alguien vio al perro. 2 Usa algo que atraiga a tu perro y lo haga salir de su escondite. Los perros adoran la comida, de modo que podrías hacerlo salir si agitas la bolsa de golosinas o de comida. Pasea por la casa con la bolsa para que tu perro escuche el sonido. 3 Busca metódicamente. Una vez que hayas determinado que tu perro no está en algún lugar visible, comienza a buscar de forma metódica en tu casa. Revisa cada habitación con cuidado, mirando debajo de las camas y en los armarios. Asegúrate de buscar en todas las habitaciones, cuartos de baño y armarios de la casa. No te olvides de mirar debajo y detrás de los muebles. 4 Busca en lugares inverosímiles. Los perros asustados pueden encontrar lugares impensables para esconderse. Mira detrás y dentro de los electrodomésticos, ya que los perros pueden esconderse detrás de refrigeradores o meterse en las secadoras de ropa. También debes asegurarte de revisar detrás de los paneles de acceso e incluso en áreas tales como el armario del calentador de agua. Los perros pequeños pueden meterse hasta debajo de sillas reclinables (detrás del reposapiés) o detrás de los libros en un estante. 5 Llámalo. Debido a que lo estás buscando, debes asegurarte de gritar su nombre. Tu perro podría dormir plácidamente en una esquina y no escucharte de inmediato. Parte2Comienza a buscar afuera de la casa 1 Comienza tan pronto como sea posible. Vas a tener mayores probabilidades de encontrar a tu perro durante las primeras 12 horas posteriores a su escape. De hecho, algunos expertos señalan que casi el 90 % de los animales domésticos se logran recuperar si el dueño busca en las primeras 12 horas. 2 Grita el nombre de tu mascota a menudo. Tu perro sabe su nombre y podría responder a este llamado. Además, esto le dará una señal audible de tu ubicación. Tampoco olvides utilizar apodos. Si lo llamas "Pookie" más a menudo que "Princesa", trata de alternar entre los dos. 3 Lleva la bolsa de golosinas. La comida es un gran motivador para cualquier perro, así que es mejor llevar la bolsa de golosinas. Agita la bolsa a medida que avanzas y di en voz alta el nombre que utilizas para ellas. Por ejemplo, si les dices galletas, grita: "¡Fido! ¿Quieres tus galletas?". 4 Utiliza el silencio. El momento más efectivo para buscar con bolsas de golosinas y llamar a tu perro por su nombre es cuando todo está tranquilo afuera. Inténtalo temprano en la mañana, de modo que tu perro se sienta más seguro para salir. En este momento, tu perro ya podría estar en busca de comida. 5 Conviértete en un detective. Durante la búsqueda, trata de encontrar rastros de tu perro. Puedes buscar huellas en el barro o las heces que dejó en el camino. Revisa si hay mechones de pelo. Estas pistas pueden ayudarte a ir en la dirección correcta. 6 Mira en lugares altos y bajos. Tu perro podría meterse debajo de un pórtico, subir encima de coches o esconderse detrás de cobertizos. Revisa en todos los espacios pequeños que encuentres, ya que los perros pueden arreglárselas para meterse en áreas pequeñas. Utiliza una linterna para ver en áreas oscuras. No olvides mirar detrás y debajo de arbustos. 7 Escucha con atención mientras hablas. Tienes que escuchar los sonidos que tu perro pudiese hacer, como un gemido, un ladrido o un crujido. Tu perro podría llevarte hacia él, si escuchas con mucho cuidado. 8 Deja sus cosas preferidas afuera. Pon su juguete favorito afuera, ya que eso podría atraerlo de regreso a casa. Además, trata de dejar algo con tu olor afuera, como una camisa sucia, lo cual también podría incentivarlo a salir de su escondite. 9 Piensa en los últimos acontecimientos de tu vecindario. Es decir, echa un vistazo a casas recién construidas o abandonadas, ya que los perros podrían buscar refugio en su interior. Además, trata de recordar si alguien se ha mudado desde que tu perro se escapó, pues los perros a veces se meten en camionetas en movimiento. 10 Utiliza tu coche. Es mejor buscar en el exterior de tu casa a pie para poder revisar espacios reducidos. Sin embargo, si no lo encuentras, usa tu coche para dar una vuelta por el vecindario. Conduce despacio y avanza por las calles de forma sistemática. Mantén las ventanas abajo, llamando a tu mascota a medida que avanzas. 11 Empieza cerca, pero ve cada vez más lejos. Algunos perros tienden a correr cuando salen. Definitivamente debes buscar en un radio de 1,6 a 3,2 km (1 a 2 millas) el primer día; sin embargo, los perros pueden correr hasta 8 o 16 km (5 o 10 millas). Si bien es raro que los perros se alejen 16 km (10 millas), no te hará daño ampliar el área de la búsqueda. 12 Pide ayuda. Cuanta más gente te ayude a buscar, más probabilidades tendrás de encontrar a tu perro. Pide ayuda a tus familiares, amigos y vecinos, y coordina la búsqueda. Es decir, establece áreas de búsqueda para cada persona, de modo que no pierdas el tiempo peinando las mismas áreas. 13 Habla con tus vecinos. Tus vecinos son un gran recurso para ayudarte a encontrar a tu perro. Ellos podrían haberlo visto correr en una dirección en particular o alguno podría incluso haberlo acogido en su casa si perdió su collar. Ve de puerta en puerta en tu calle y lleva una foto para mostrársela. También debes asegurarte de preguntarle a gente como el cartero, que cubre una gran cantidad de terreno en tu vecindario. 14 Avisa a los refugios o perreras locales. Es decir, notifica al refugio de tu localidad que tu perro se ha perdido, de modo que el personal pueda estar alerta con respecto a tu perro. Tampoco olvides llamar a las agencias privadas. Además, tómate el tiempo para visitar el refugio al menos una vez al día durante los primeros días posteriores a su pérdida, para que puedas comprobar si está allí. Visítalo de vez en cuando si tu perro no vuelve en uno o dos días. 15 Busca en clínicas veterinarias. Llama al veterinario, especialmente si el collar de identificación de tu perro tenía información de su veterinario. Sin embargo, también debes verificar en otras clínicas de emergencia en la localidad para asegurarte de que tu mascota no haya sido llevada a otra clínica por alguna lesión. 16 Debes tratar de mantener tu seguridad mientras buscas. No busques en la noche por tu cuenta y lleva linternas y teléfonos móviles durante la búsqueda. 17 No dejes de buscarlo. Los perros pueden sobrevivir mucho tiempo fuera de casa. Podrías encontrarla meses después, por lo que es mejor seguir buscando y revisando en los refugios o perreras locales. Parte3Coloca publicaciones para encontrar a tu perro 1 Pon carteles. Imprime carteles con la foto de tu perro, su descripción, su nombre y tu número de teléfono y email, si tienes. No olvides añadir el área aproximada en la que desapareció, aunque no debes dar una dirección exacta. También debes incluir la fecha. En la propia ficha de Leales.org tienes la opción para imprimir el cartel en PDF. Pon el mensaje clave en la parte superior. Es decir, escribe "PERRO PERDIDO" con una fuente en negrita y legible en la parte superior del cartel. El resto del mensaje debe ser corto y conciso. Una foto a color funcionará mejor que una en blanco y negro. Asegúrate de elegir una donde se pueda ver claramente la cara de tu perro y sus características distintivas. Trata de usar un papel de colores brillantes, para que llame más la atención. También puedes tratar de ofrecer una recompensa por la mascota, lo cual puede ayudarte a motivar a la gente. Trata de pegar los carteles en las paradas de autobuses, tiendas concurridas (supermercados, panaderías...), y en las farolas. Trabaja en un radio de 1,6 a 3,2 km (1 a 2 millas) a partir del lugar donde posiblemente se escapó tu perro, aunque tampoco hará daño ponerlos más lejos. Los perros pueden llegar muy lejos. Los lugares para personas con perros son bastante apropiados, como las tiendas de animales de compañía y las clínicas veterinarias, pero trata de hacerlo en cualquier lugar que visiten muchas personas, como lavanderías y estaciones de servicio. Siempre debes pedir permiso antes de colocar un cartel en un negocio. Evita dar absolutamente toda la información relevante en el folleto. Es decir, mantén en reserva una característica que identifique a tu perro, como una marca en forma de corazón en su pata trasera. De esa manera, podrás pedirles a las personas que te llamen que te proporcionen una descripción y, con suerte, descartarás las llamadas de quienes traten de estafarte. 2 Publica difusiones en Internet. Publícalo en Leales.org como Perros perdidos. Asimismo, puedes usar tu propia red social. Envía avisos a tus amigos y pídeles que los compartan con los suyos. Cuanta más gente se entere, más probabilidades habrá de encontrarlo, igual que compartirlo por WhatsApp con el icono en Leales.org No te olvides de hacer que los avisos sean públicos, de modo que se les pueda compartir con otras personas. Por ejemplo, en Facebook se puede cambiar una publicación, para que no sea privada, antes de publicarla, sin tener que cambiar la configuración global de tu perfil. 3 Anuncia en el periódico. Coloca un anuncio en la sección de clasificados del periódico local. Sé breve y conciso, y trata de poner la misma información que incluiste en el cartel. 4 Ten cuidado con los estafadores. Ve con un acompañante si alguien llama para decir que encontró a tu mascota. Pídele que se reúnan en un lugar público y no le des una recompensa hasta que te la haya devuelto. Cuando una persona llame para decirte que tiene a tu perro, pídele que te lo describa a fondo. Debes estar atento para ver si te da la información clave que no incluiste en el cartel, como una mancha concreta, etc. 5 Revisa los anuncios de perros perdidos. En los mismos sitios en los que publicas puedes revisar los listados de perros encontrados. Además, puedes revisar los clasificados en tu periódico local para buscar mascotas encontradas. Suscríbete al email de Animales perdidos o encontrados de Leales.org para recibir cómodamente en tu correo cuando un animal es encontrado. Parte4Evita que tu perro vuelva a perderse 1 Ponle en una placa de identificación. Las placas de identificación deben tener el nombre de tu perro y tu número actual de teléfono. De esa manera, si alguien encuentra a tu perro, podrá localizarte. Asegúrate de actualizar las placas si cambias tu información de contacto. » Aquí tienes la posibilidad de solicitar una placa de plástico completamente gratuita, que te llegará a casa sin ningún coste: bit.ly/2iNPStE 2 Ponle un microchip a tu perro. Un microchip es un chip inofensivo que se inserta en la parte posterior del cuello. El chip contiene una identificación que cualquier veterinario o refugio puede escanear. Esta identificación se puede utilizar para encontrar tu información de contacto, de modo que los veterinarios o refugios puedan comunicarse contigo si encuentran a tu perro. Asegúrate de actualizar tu información a medida que cambia, ya que la información desactualizada no será útil para tu perro. Una de las razones por las que debes ponerle un microchip y una placa de identificación a tu perro es porque los collares pueden aflojarse cuando los perros están fuera de casa. Si eso ocurre, las placas se perderán, lo cual no ayudará a que te lo devuelvan. 3 Cierra los puntos posibles de fuga. Asegúrate de no tener ningún agujero en tus cercas del patio trasero ni en ningún lugar que le facilite a tu perro escapar. Además, ten cuidado al abrir la puerta y asegúrate de que tu perro no esté esperando para escaparse. 4 Prueba con un microchip GPS o una placa. Puedes comprar una placa con un sistema de localización por GPS y ponerla en el collar de tu perro. Si tu perro se escapa, podrás utilizar un teléfono para seguir su rastro. Para una opción más avanzada, existen microchips con esta misma tecnología, que se incrustan en la piel de tu perro, de modo que no se perderán. Consejos • Siempre debes ponerle una correa a tu perro cuando lo saques al parque o a la playa. • Estudia la posibilidad de educar a tu perro a no huir de los ruidos, pitas, bicicletas, otros perros, etc. • Ten cuidado con los lugares de fiestas donde sepas que tirarán voladores o petardos, ya que los perros suelen huir corriendo. ─ * Acerca de esta publicación: • Esta publicación NO ha sido creada por Leales.org y NO somos responsables de su contenido. • Esta difusión fue publicada por un usuario en Leales.org y autodifundida gratuitamente por los servidores en más de 10 redes, en el buscador de Google, en Google Imágenes y a más de 30 idiomas. • Es el propio usuario el responsable de la creación y actualización oportuna de cada una de sus publicaciones.

I hardly ever study the churches I am about to visit. Rather, rely on my first impressions, and how the multitude of elements hang together.
This does mean, sometimes, I have missed obvious details. But for the most part, I notice what is unusual at the time.
And then upon returning home, I research the building and the history of the parish, and my main two resources are posted below.
Also, churchcrawling can be a lonely hobby, spending hours and hours pouring over details with hardly anyone to share it with. Sometimes, on a Saturday morning, we weekly church clean is in progress, and one or two wardens might ask you questions.Even fewer of them might be interested.
So, in Wormshill, talking to the ringers, I was told that there was a coffee morning on at Frinsted, and a warden might be present.
This was after I lamented that the church was locked again.
So, drive back the two miles and call in the village hall. And ask about the key.
So, this is what we did.
This resulted in a lady taking me back to her house to meet her husband, Malcolm.
Can I see inside the church?
Why do you want to do that?
I explain the Kent church project.
Are you interested in the building or fittings?
And thinking that this was because of thefts, I said if needed I would not snap the fittings if needed.
But Malcolm backtracked. Oh no, you can photograph what you want to.
Meet me at the porch in ten minutes.
So, we did.
The church was dark inside, and Malcolm told us about his church. Very proud he was too.
And it became clear why.
The chancel and north chapel were decorated.
Decorated in the English Gothic Revival, by Hussey and then, later, Scott. These have been recently renovated, using the original stencils.
It was incredible. Like The Grange transported to the countryside. I think Pugin would have liked it.
Sadly, in the north chapel, a plaster panel had dropped off, so the pews were covered and access restricted, but Malcolm unlocked the door and let us in.
I walked round with a huge smile on my face, waxing lyrical about the church, and Malcolm enjoyed telling us the story of his church.
Without doubt, the best church visit this, or any other year.
------------------------------------------
Not for those wishing to find a medieval church, although there is evidence of an old building here in the form of a Norman window and crownpost roof. It is of interest that the nineteenth-century work carried out first by Hussey (1856) and then by Scott (1870) for the Pemberton Leigh family is in complete contrast to the work commissioned at nearby Kingsdown by the family at the same time (see separate entry). The second phase of work included the wonderful stencilling of the church, recently restored to the designs of G.G. Scott Jr. The majority of the furnishings are also Victorian and show the quality that only a fortune could buy in post-industrialised England

FRINSTED
LIES the next parish north westward from Wichling. It is written in Domesday, Fredenestede; in antient deeds, Freyhanestede; and in later ones, most usually, Frensted, alias Wronsted.
That part of this parish northward of the church is in the division of East Kent, but the church itself, and the remaining part of it is in that of West Kent.
THE PARISH extends on both sides of the valley, called Syndall, or Newnham-bottom, through which the high road leads from Ospringe, through Doddington and Newnham, to Hollingborne hill, on each side of which the hills rise very steep, the summits of them being in general covered with wood grounds. On the east side of this valley, on the hill close to the woods, is Rinsted-court; and on the hill on the west, Yokes court, and Madams-court; and still further westward, the village and church. The soil of it is poor, and covered with flints, much like that of Wichling, before described; but the rising hills on each side of the valley are mostly chalk.
There is a district in this parish, consisting of about fifty acres of land, called Minis-hill, over which the manor of Whornes-place, near Rochester, claims jurisdiction.
This parish was part of those possessions which William the Conqueror gave his half-brother Odo, bishop of Baieux, under the general title of whose lands it is thus entered in the book of Domesday, taken about the year 1080:
Hugh, the grandson of Herbert, and Adelold the chamberlain, holds of the bishop (of Baieux) Fredenestede. It was taxed at one suling. The arable land is three carucates. In demesne . . . . Three villeins having seven oxen. There is a church, and two acres of meadow and an half, and wood for the pannage of two hogs. It is, and was worth, separately, twenty shillings. Leunin held it of king Edward.
About four years after taking the above survey, the bishop was disgraced, and the king his brother seized on this estate, among the rest of his possessions, which were all consiscated to the crown. After which, this manor came into the possession of Jeffry de Peverel, and with other lands, made up the barony of Peverel, as it was then called, being assigned to him for the desence of Dover-castle, of which it was held by him in capite by barony.
Nicholas de Gerund afterwards held this manor, with the advowson of the church, of which he died possessed in the 52d year of Henry III. holding it of the king in capite, as one knight's see. After which, the family of Crombwell became possessed of it; one of whom, Richard de Crombwell, was owner of it in the 8th year of Edward II. being younger brother of Sir John de Crombwell, knight-banneret. Ralph de Crombwell, his successor, next year, obtained a charter of free warren for his lands in this parish, and at his seat here, since called Meriam-court, and now commonly, Madams-court.
In the next reign of king Edward III. this estate was again come into the possession of the family of Gerund, in which, however, it did not remain long, for Richard le Gerund leaving an only daughter and heir Maud, she carried this manor and seat in marriage to Sir Henry de Chalshunt, who in the 20th year of that reign, paid aid for the manor of Wrensted, alias Frensted, with its appurtenances, holding it by the like service, as did his descendant Henry de Chalfhunt, at his death, in the 9th year of Richard II. when it was found, that John Bedeford, Roger Tournour, Sibill Jarconville, and Agnes, daughter of Walter at Style, were his heirs and next of kin; at which time it was likewise found, that this manor was held of the manor of Ospringe.
Soon after which, this manor, with the mansionhouse, called Wrensted, and now most usually Rinstedcourt, with Meriam, or Madams-court, and the advowson of the church of Wrensted, was conveyed by sale to Robert le Hadde, who was resident here in the reign of Henry IV. being descended from ancestors who had been resident at Chart Sutton, in this county, for many generations, Rob. Hadde being of that parish in the reign of Henry III. In his descendants this estate continued down to Henry Hadde, esq. of Frinsted, who died possessed of this manor, with the advowson of the church, and the other estates above-mentioned, in the 23d year of queen Elizabeth, leaving two sons, Arnold and Matthew, who was counsellor-at-law, of Lincoln's-inn, of which he was rector, the former of whom succeeded him here, and two years afterwards, anno 25 Elizabeth, alienated this manor, with its appurtenances, together with the rest of his estates in this parish, to Edward and George Hills. Arnold Hadde, esq. after the sale of this estate, resided in St. Alphage parish, in Canterbury, as his descendants did for several generations afterwards, till the end of the last century, and several of them lie buried in that church. They bore for their arms, Gules, three bucks heads caboshed, or, borned argent, between the borns of each a cross patee fitchee, argent. (fn. 1)
Edward and George Hills joined in the sale of the manor of Frinsted, with Rinsted, alias Wrensted-court, and the lands belonging to it, to Edward Jackman, esq. of Hornchurch, in Essex, and he, in the 5th year of James I. passed it away to Oliver Style, esq. of Watringbury, who died in 1622. Upon the death of whose descendant, Sir Thomas Style, bart. who died in 1702, an agreement was entered into by his heirs for a partition of his estates among them, which was confirmed by an act, passed anno 2 and 3 of queen Anne. In this partition, the manor of Frinsted, with Rinstedcourt, was allotted to Margaret, his only daughter by his second wife, who in 1716 sold it to Mr. Abraham Tilghman, descended from those of Snodland. He was a commissioner of the navy, and of the victuallingoffice, and dying in 1729, was buried in the south isle of this church, where there is a monument erected to his memory. He bore for his arms, Per fess, sable, and argent, a lion rampant, counterchanged, crowned, or. He was succeeded here by his son Abraham Tilghman, esq. who resided here till his death in 1779. He left by Olivia his wife, one of the two daughters and coheirs of Charles Finch, esq. of Chatham, one daughter Elizabeth, who married the Rev. Pierrepont Crompe, of Newnham, in Gloucestershire, son and heir of Thomas Cromp, esq. of Newnham, in that county, by Rebecca, the other daughter and coheir of Charles Finch, esq. He bore for his arms, Or, a chevron, voided gules, on a chief of the second, three escallops of the first. He afterwards resided here, and died in 1797, leaving his widow surviving, who now resides here, and one son Robert-Thomas, and a daughter, Henrietta Maria, the former of whom is now entitled to the see of this estate.
MADAMS-COURT, formerly called Meriams-court, as has been already mentioned, passed from Arnold Hadde in the 25th year of queen Elizabeth, with the rest of his estates in this parish, to Edward and George Hills, and they joined in the sale of Meriam, or Madams-court, to Archer, from which name it passed, in the reign of Charles I. to Thatcher, by a female heir of which family it passed in marriage to Batcheler, some of whose descendants lie buried in this church, one of whom, Mr. William Batcheler, at length alienated it to James Chapman, gent. of Milton, whose son Ed ward Chapman, esq. of Otterden, died in 1765, leaving by his wife, daughter of the Rev. Mr. Dennis, of Leyborne, one son, James Chapman, esq. now of Faversham, who is the present owner of it.
YOKES-COURT is a manor in this parish, which in the reign of Henry III. was part of the possessions of Fulk de Peyforer, whose descendant William de Peyforer, in the 20th year of Edward III. paid aid for it as half a knight's fee, which he then held at le Yoke, in this parish, of the honor of Ledes.
He soon afterwards alienated this manor to Roger Northwood, who died in the 35th year of that reign possessed of this manor of Yoke, held of the king in capite, by the service of making his suit at the gate of the castle of Leeds, from month to month, in lieu of all other service whatsoever. His descendant, John Northwood, esq. died possessed of it anno 4 Henry V. leaving his two sisters his coheirs, who entitled their husbands, John Barley, esq. of Hertfordshire, and Sir John Norton, of this county, to their respective shares of their brother's estates.
From one of them this manor was alienated to John Dyggs, esq. of Barham, whose descendant James Dyggs, esq. of Barham, died in the 27th year of Henry VIII. then holding this manor in capite by knight's service. He left two sons, John, who was of Barham, and Leonard, whose descendants were of Chilham-castle. His son John Dyggs, the eldest, succeeded him in this manor, and died in his life-time, leaving a son William, whose son Christopher Diggs, esq. of Barham, having levied fines of all his lands anno 15 and 17 Elizabeth, quickly afterwards alienated this manor to Archer, from which name, in the reign of Charles I. it passed by sale to Thatcher, of which name there were inhabitants of the adjoining parish of Wormsell, as appears by the parish register there, as early as king Henry the VIIIth's reign. These of Frinsted bore for their arms, Gules, a cross moline, argent, on a chief, or, three grasshoppers proper. In the name of Thatcher this manor continued, till by a female heir Mary, daughter of Thomas Thatcher, it went in marriage to Mr. Henry Bing, of Wickhambreux, on whose death, his son Mr. John Bing, became possessed of it. He died in 1766, and was buried in the north chancel of this church, leaving one son Henry, and two daughters; Mr. Henry Bing, the son, succeeded his father in the possession of this manor, of which he is the present owner. A court baron is held for it.
Charities.
JOHN WIATT, of Milsted, by will in 1722, gave the moiety of several pieces of land in Milsted, Frinsted, and Wormsell, containing about twenty acres, for sending four poor children yearly to school, to learn to read, vested in the minister and churchwardens, and of the annual value of 2l. 4s.
The number of poor constantly relieved are about sixteen; casually twelve.
FRINSTED is, within the ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION of the diocese of Canterbury, and deanry of Sutton.
The church, which is dedicated to St. Dunstan, is situated westward from the village, but in the northern part of the parish; it consists of two isles and two chancels, the northern one belonging to the estate of Yokes-court, in it are several memorials for the Thatchers and the Bings. In the south isle is a monument for Abraham Tilghman, esq. who died in 1729. Against the north wall in this chancel, in a recess, is an antient tomb, with an engrailed arch over it. It has a square beacon tower at the west end of it, in which hang four bells. In the church yard is an altar tomb; under it, in a vault, lie buried A. Tilghman, esq. who died in 1779, and Olivia his wife; and the Rev. Mr. Crompe, and Henrietta-Maria, his daughter.
¶This church was formerly appendant to the manor of Frinsted, as has already been mentioned, and seems to have passed with it from Arnold Hadde, esq. toge ther with the rest of his estates in this parish, to Edward and George Hills, who alienated the manor of Frinsted, with Rinsted-court, to Edward Jackman, esq. and Meriam-court, or Madams-court, as it is now called, together with the advowson of the rectory of Frinsted, to Archer, from which name it passed with it, to Thatcher, in whose descendants it continued till Mary, daughter of Thomas Thatcher, carried it in marriage to Mr. Henry Bing, whose descendant, Mr. Henry Bing, gent. of this parish, is the present possessor of it.
In Strype's Stow's Survey, it is said, that in the reign of Edward III. the church of Frethensted, in the diocese of Canterbury, belonged to St. Catherine's hospital, near the Tower; and Tanner in his Monasticon, says, in patent 3 Edward III. p. 2, m. 2, is a licence for appropriating that church to the above-mentioned hospital, which cannot be reconciled to the records above-quoted, in which the advowson of the church of Frinsted is found to have been vested in the several owners of the manor of Frinsted.
This rectory is valued in the king's books at 9l. 11s. 8d. and the yearly tenths at 19s. 2d. and is of the yearly certified value of 71l. 7s. 4d.
In 1640 it was valued at sixty pounds. Communicants fifty.
St Mary, Rougham, Suffolk
This grand late medieval church sits a good half mile from its village with just the school and an incongruous 1950s rectory for company. The wide churchyard is a perfect foil for its massive bulk. graves sprawl in all directions, and you might easily imagine that all mid-Suffolk comes here to be buried. Above them, St Mary raises its head gloriously to heaven, a riot of medieval aisles, clerestory and flushwork. The inscriptions in the flushwork beneath the battlements are dedicatory inscriptions, asking for prayers for the souls of Robert Drury and John Tillot. Also clear is the Marian imagery, her lily and her monograms. Simon Cotton tells me that it was a big bequest of 50 marks, and as much more as is possible, in 1458 from Roger Tyllot of Rougham, that launched the campaign to build the tower. This guaranteed Tyllot/Tillot the inscription asking us to pray for his soul.
The south aisle is castellated with pierced tracery. One of them has a head in a dish on it, similar to the same thing on the font at Irstead and the screen at Trimingham, both in Norfolk, and so it is probably intended as St John the Baptist. The south aisle predates the tower, but after the tower, and before the Reformation of course, came the north aisle. It can be precisely dated to 1514, because it still bears that date, reading We pray you to remember us that causyde ye yle to be made thus.
The main entrance today is into this north aisle, but the south porch is worth a look, a fine piece of the early 14th Century, rather mutilated when it was reroofed in the 17th Century, the inscription 1632 JT giving the precise date. You step into a large, fine church, perhaps telling us a bit more than we would like about the extent of its 19th Century restoration. Above the nave is a good example of a late medieval hammerbeam roof, splendidly uncluttered, and in reasonable condition. The angels on the hammerbeams have lost their heads and wings, and the figures in the niches of the wall posts are also damaged. But perhaps that merely serves to show how little restored this roof is. It was made safe as part of the mid-19th century restoration. It is interesting to compare it with the much richer and glorious roof of the church at nearby Woolpit.
Indeed, Woolpit church is quite a useful comparison with Rougham. One of Suffolk's most famous churches, and along with Mildenhall the county's most glorious medieval angel roof. What else does Woolpit have? It has carved bench ends in abundance. And here at Rougham is also as fine a set of medieval benches as you could hope to see - about half the entire range in this huge church are early 16th century, arguable the high point of English carpentry, and contemporary with the roof. But they are entirely mutilated. Every single bench end figure has been sawn off at the base. So what happened here? Our knee-jerk reaction, obviously enough, is that St Mary suffered from the depredations of the 17th century puritans, and that awful William Dowsing, who saw off all the medieval art treasures that the parish had carefully accumulated over the previous centuries.
Unfortunately for anyone who likes easy answers, this is nonsense. Dowsing did not come to Rougham. But he did go to Woolpit, with its amazing angel roof and beautiful medieval carved bench ends. So before we start blaming Dowsing, it is as well to look at the evidence.
At Woolpit, William Dowsing recorded that his Deputy found 80 superstitious pictures. Some he brake down, and the rest he gave orders to take down; and 3 crosses to be taken down in 20 days. The superstitious pictures, of course, were in stained glass, not wall paintings. The three crosses were outside, on the gables. But Dowsing doesn't mention the angel roof (a feature that he concerns himself with often elsewhere) and he doesn't mention the bench ends. Why not?
Well, the bench ends problem is solved simply enough. The surviving figures are all animals or mythical beasts. The same survive at neighbouring Tostock, which Dowsing also visited. The reason they survived is perhaps simply that the authorities considered them decorative, and let them be. Despite the portrait that is often painted of him, Dowsing was a conservative soul, and theologically very articulate. He was in the business of rooting out superstitious imagery - that is to say, objects and images that might be used in Catholic liturgical practices. He was also keen to destroy images that he thought blasphemous, for example symbols of the Trinity, and especially angels. Dowsing would know very well that Catholics didn't worship animals.
So why doesn't Dowsing mention Woolpit's angel roof? I would contend that this is for the very same reason that Rougham didn't need a visit - it had already been defaced. The next obvious question is to answer is when did this destruction occur? There are two possibilities. One is that it had been done by other puritans during the furious theological debate over sacramental practice during the 1630s. Far more likely, and the right answer in my opinion, is that the destruction at Rougham was wrought a full hundred years before Dowsing began his progress through the county.
During the later years of Henry VIII, and the entire reign of the boy-King Edward VI, roughly 1538 to 1553, order after order went out from the Protestant reformers at Whitehall and Lambeth Palace demanding the destruction of church imagery. Roods came toppling down, and not a single one survives in all England. Many roodlofts and roodscreens were put to the hatchet and the bonfire. Any wall paintings that remained were whitewashed. Fonts were plastered over, because this was easier than chiselling off the stone carved imagery, and statues were hauled out of their niches. Wooden ones were burnt, those made of stone and alabaster were broken up. Some were sold abroad, we know. It was a holocaust of church furnishings. Much evidence of it survives in Suffolk, and it is almost always blamed on the puritans of a century later. Unlike Dowsing, who had a precise remit, and carefully recorded every visit, the 16th century reformers were not much short of vandals. Of course Cranmer and his cronies had a theological basis for their orders, but by the time these orders reached the parishes they became a licence to destroy.
Eammon Duffy records gangs of drunken youths stumbling around London, breaking into churches and smashing them up, and it is not unlikely that the same thing sometimes happened out in the countryside. In late 1547 in particular, it is as if the gloves came off, and people were able to get away with awful acts with impunity. Duffy records several instances of local landed families fleecing the church of silverware and vestments, and selling them for the proceeds. I think that Rougham's bench ends were sawn off during this holocaust. It would have been a major job, taking several days. What were they? Could they have been representations of the sacraments, virtues and vices, as we find at Tannington, Wilby and Blythburgh? Were they fabulous animals as at Woolpit and Stowlangtoft? Were they images of local people going about their daily business, as at Ixworth Thorpe? Mortlock thought they might have been angels, and that the surviving cushions were clouds.
Of course, we will never know. Two things fascinate me in particular. Firstly, you can find exactly the same thing across the A14 at Elmswell, where the medieval bench ends have been sawn off of cushions in the same way. Secondly, when the Victorians carried out their major restoration here, the new benches they installed are exact replicas of the old ones, even down to the sawn-off scars on the cushions!
And yet, Rougham is not without its medieval survivals. Tucked away in a rather undignified manner in the north aisle are fine brasses of Sir Roger Drury and his wife, which survive from 1405. They are so similar to the pair to the Burgate family at Burgate in north Suffolk that it suggests that this was an all-purpose, off-the-peg design. The 14th Century font at the west end of the nave has surviving traces of colour, its traceried panels echoing the great east window at the far end of the building. The glass on the north side of the chancel dates from 1904 and is by Burlison & Grylls.
And there is one other survival, intriguing and delightful. This is the small collection of mostly 15th Century English glass in the upper lights. Among them is an exquisite and rare virgo lactans, the Blessed Virgin offering her breast to feed the infant Christ, intensely intimate and human. For a moment in time, the centuries fall away.

I went to visit someone this morning and found this little guy sitting on the door step. It never flinched, although it did open and close it's eyes. I was able to set my phone camera right beside it and take a couple of shots. So does anyone know why little vulnerable birds would do this?
Beautiful Swimsuit Bikini Model with Blonde Dreadlocks in Sea Cave with the Tide Coming In !
She had pretty blue eyes!
I was shooting stills & video atthe same time, and you can see the video of the goddess in a sea cave here! youtu.be/hTRiSlvevgg
She also modeled the Nikon D800E + Camcorder 9shooter Rig I used: www.flickr.com/photos/herosjourneymythology45surf/sets/72...

Love the super sharp Nikon D800E !
And I have one final question--should I call shooting stills & video @ the same time 9shooting? 45surfing? 45windsurfing? What would you call it? 45surfing kind of makes sense as the gun represents the intermittent firing of the shutter, while the surfboard represents the smooth wave of continuous video. :) But what do you think? Please do share!

SpinaliS is a unique chair for healthy back
A unique movable seat on a spring ensures the mobility of the pelvis, strengthening abdominal and back muscles, keeping the spine in its correct position while preventing irreversible changes to the spine and so eliminating back pain. SpinaliS is the healthiest way to sit all-day long.
SpinaliS chairs loosen stiff neck
The moving seat âforcesâ you to straighten your back, have a correct head position and pull your shoulders back, reducing stress on the trapezoid muscles and loosening the stiff cervical spine. The constant movement of the seat eliminates any possible blockage, thus relaxing a stiff neck.
SpinaliS chairs straighten round backs
The movement of the seat straightens the back in the thoracic kyphosis area, restoring the physiological shape of the spine into its natural position (the natural curve of the spine in the shape of the letter âSâ). Eliminating a round back also lessens pressure to organs in the chest, especially the lungs and stomach, which leads to improved breathing and digestion.
SpinaliS chairs activate weak muscles of the back and abdomen
The movable seat allows for body movement in all directions, so you are not forced to sit still â SpinaliS chairs encourage the involvement of all torso muscles, which leads to the strengthening of the back and abdominal muscles.
SpinaliS chairs reinforce deep stabilizing muscles
The stabilization of deep spinal muscles is all about strengthening muscles that stabilize the spine during all movements that we make. Deep stabilization plays an important role in protecting our spine against various loads and stress. Taking care of your spine requires constant exercising of deep stabilizing muscles, which in the sitting position is possible only on a Swiss ball or on a healthy SpinaliS chair.
SpinaliS chairs remove pain in the lower back
The movable seat of SpinaliS chairs swings forward while you lean over your desk, thereby allowing the spine to bend forward resuming lumbar lordosis at all times. Lumbar lordosis is important for optimal placement of the lumbar vertebrae as they are wedge-shaped (higher in the front, lower in the back). With the correct hip position there is a substantial reduction of pressure on the vertebrae and intervertebral discs, which allows for effective pain relief. In addition, the movable seat also reduces stress in the lower beck, unlike in the case of chairs with fixed seats, which can make sitting quite painful.
