January 26, 2014 - Rhyme & Reason Extra Pale Ale from Collective Arts Brewing Limited in Burlington, Ontario. Saw this at the LCBO and then looked it up. I'm not sure whether this brewery is for the artists or for the beer.
It poured out a slightly hazy amber with a finger or so of frothy white head which quickly dissipated without much lacing. The aroma was of citrus, pine and hops. The taste was initially sweet and malty with some caramel overtones, but then some hop bitterness poked through. The citrus and pine flavours ensured that the sweetness was fleeting.
A decent session beer. The ninety labels of the original release will not make me want to purchase ninety of these bottles however. I was going to print the commercial description, but I see that it is on the label.
Perhaps the most important change you can make to improve your photography is to change the time of day you are shooting. It is as simple as that. Photos taken in the middle of the day all have problems that can be avoided if you photograph near sunrise or sunset. Photographers agree on very little, […]

Design brief: To produce 6 posters relating the the subject of knowledge and power
The work I produced for this design brief was some of my favourite work produced recently as I went through a lot of stages of change with it and ended up with something I really like.
I wanted to relate this project somehow to interior design so I liked my chosen subject of research (celebrity influence) with rooms of the house. I wanted to portray the influence celebrities have on people and to highlight the empty reasons people want to be famous. I used a scrap book cut out style to make it look like the pictures had been cut out of a magazine (like an obsessed fan). I used the influence of Barbara Kruger and Dexter Dalwood with this work as well as relating to MTV Cribs.

Well it was the main reson why we were in Rosenheim, Germany. That, and meeting up with friends, and even a bit of sight seeing.
I should have woken up this morning at the Radisson Blu in Arhus, but die to "reasons", that got cancelled, which meant I was home for Heritage Weekend, which as you can imagine, I was very upset about.
The day was to be a mix of the familiar and new, with revisits to some I had not been to in a decade.
It is hotter than ever, and now added to which is a haze caused by the sand blown up from the Sahara, which makes to look and feel like there are wildfires burning nearby. Anything more than a mile away is lost in a brown haze, and there being no wind to blow it away.
We went to Tesco, obviously, did some gathering and pushing the week and feeble out of the way, then rushed to pay and leave. Getting back home to have breakfast and be all tidied away for just gone nine when we left for a hard day's chuchcrawling.
Avoiding the port is obvious, even if the traffic radar said it was delay free, best not to take a risk in getting caught up in traffic that can last for days.
And traffic was heavy on the road to Folkestone and the motorway, but we soo turned off onto the A20 to Lypmne, turning right to Aldington.
St Martin sits next to a large and busy farm, though its tower does just that, and is visible for miles, and is a waymarker when travelling between Folkestone and Ashford.
The church is rarely open, at least for casual visitors, so this was a chance to redo shots taken eight years ago.
This was the first of 907 shots taken through the day, and most of which you will be seeing in the next few weeks as I edit and post them.
So, after going round and getting dozens of shots, we walk back to the car through the churchyard, all gold and green as the seasons think about changing.
We retrace our steps to the main road, then back east to Lympne, past the animal park and along the narrow main street to the entrance to the castle, where the church sits beside, perched on the edge of the down, overlooking the Romney Marsh.
Don't park her, or here, said the signs, so I left the car in the castle car park, hoping it wouldn't get clamped, then walk to the lychgate and to the church, a huge barn of a place made much bigger when the additional west nave, if that's the right word, was added.
There's a spiral staircase leading to the bellringing platform in the tower, other than that, its a fine, tidy and a church full of interest.
I bid the wardens farewell, as we walk back to the car and then drive the short distance back to the A20, turning west to pass under the motorway that now bisects the village of Sellindge, going past the two new huge housing developments which have sprung up since I was last here, and right on the edge of the village is St Mary.
St Mary is rarely open, I had tried a few weeks back, battling traffic each way to find it locked.
But it was taking part in Ride and Stride, so I had high hoped.
Highlight is the art deco painted screen at the west end partioning the vestry from the Nave. But my last visit I only took 29 shots, I would try to snap more details, especially in the windows.
Back onto the motorway and a quick blast past the Channel Tunnel entrance, turning off and doubling back past Froghalt to Newington, a church I had been to twice in the last month hoping it would be open.
But wasn't.
The warden told me she was just leaving as she had a plasterer coming round to her house.
Bish, bash bosh.
But told me to help myself to juice or coffee, tea of cakes.
I passed.
Not much I had missed on previous visits, but I snapped details of the windows as before.
In and out in under ten minutes.
Back to Dover then, for a quick stop at St Edmund's Chapel, I last visited about a decade ago.
It is the only English Church dedicated to one English saint consecrated by a different English saint.
It is a small stone building, that during the 20th century was a smithy and a tool store before being restored to how we see it today.
Such chapels were once quite common, but St Edmunds is one of the few that remain. Quite a few visitors were there, thanks to the half dozen volunteers outside handing out badges, and the large amount of colourful bunting.

Dover’s Chapel of St Edmund of Abingdon
Near to the Maison Dieu, in Dover, the monks of the Priory of St Martin established a cemetery for the poor with its own small chapel. Consecrated on 30 March 1253 by Bishop Richard of Chichester, it was dedicated to St Edmund.
It could be said that this little chapel is perhaps miraculous. Probably built very early in 1253 or late 1252, it physically survived the Reformation and Dissolution of the Monasteries ordered by Henry VIII. Its sanctity having been lost for more than 400 years, it is recorded that during that passage of time it fell into use as a store and smithy. Remarkably, it then failed destruction when very close buildings were destroyed by enemy action in WWII, and finally it escaped demolition in the 1960’s by a council, which did not realise its significance, eager on widening Dover’s town high street.
Today, by the efforts of many, the chapel stands complete and in full public view, and is testimony to the few individuals who over a number of decades, strove against many odds to identify and restore it to regular ecclesiastical use. The restoration was substantially achieved by the determination of Rev Father Terence E Tanner the Parish Priest of St Paul’s RC church in the town, together with the financial help of a number of interested parties. In recognition of Father Tanner’s endeavours, a memorial plaque is mounted in the chapel. His ashes are also interred close to the altar.
Since the completion of its restoration, and its re-consecration in 1968, the building has been totally ‘disconnected’ from other abutting buildings which have since been demolished. It has therefore been possible to include among the photographs on this website, one of the rear of the chapel; albeit a view from the narrow passageway (now named St Edmund’s Walk) leading from the High Street.
Throughout the restoration work only mediaeval material was used. The flagstones came from Faversham Abbey in Kent (1152-1160). The main part of the altar was built from recovered stone from Bell Harry tower of Canterbury Cathedral, (1475-1507). The ‘Mensa’ Stone (the top stone) of the altar is pre-reformation, and was found in a farmyard adjoining the church of St. Clement in Old Romney, Kent. The two central tie-beams came from a barn on the Barham Downs at Elden, Kent. The east beam is original, however there is no evidence that a west beam was ever fitted by the original builders of the chapel. The roof is a remarkably fine example of 13th Century construction with a number of its original tenon joint securing pegs still in place. The floor area in front of the altar is constructed of flint cobblestones that have lain undisturbed since about the 14th Century.
The Crucifix in the style of the 13th century which is mounted on the east wall, is a contemporary carving by the late Robert Forsyth of Dover, who also made a beautiful carving of St Richard which is displayed in the Stone Hall of the Maison Dieu. The two bishop figures mounted on the front face of the altar are the images of St. Edmund (left) and St. Richard (right). A small relic of St. Edmund in the south wall niche was donated by the Abbey of Pontigny, France, where St. Edmund’s shrine still stands today.
The restoration was carried out between 1966 and 1968 by local craftsmen, under the detailed direction of historic buildings architect and consultant, Anthony Swaine FSA, FRIBA of Canterbury.

St Edmund's Chapel is a church in Dover, England, dedicated to St Edmund. It was completed in 1262 as a wayside chapel or chapel of rest for the cemetery for the poor beside the Maison Dieu, just outside the enclosed part of the medieval town, a short distance above Biggin Gate, and for pilgrims setting off for Thomas Becket's shrine at Canterbury Cathedral. This cemetery had been established by the monks of Dover Priory.
The building is about 28 feet in length, by 14 feet broad with walls of rubble masonry two feet thick, with Caen stone quoins and dressings.
It was first consecrated on Refreshment Sunday 30 March 1253 by Bishop Richard of Chichester,[1] who preached his last sermon on that occasion, saying that he had always longed before his last day to "consecrate one church at least in honour of Blessed Edmund."[2] Next morning during Mass, he fell to the ground, and was carried to bed in the Maison Dieu, where he died on 3 April. His internal organs were then removed in this chapel in preparation for the journey to Chichester Cathedral, where he wished to be buried,[3] and placed in the chapel altar. Because of this and its dedication, it became a place of pilgrimage in its own right.
At the Dissolution of the Monasteries, the chapel, Priory and Maison Dieu were all dissolved in 1544. The rest of its history is sketchy - immediately after the dissolution, it was probably still associated with the fortunes of the Maison Dieu and became part of a victualling store for the Navy, and later became a store-house for the shops which came to be built in Biggin Street.
In the middle of the 19th century it was converted into a two-floor building, and became a dwelling-house and forge. In 1943 artillery shells from the cross channel guns destroyed the two shops hiding the chapel on the Priory Road side, leaving the chapel itself untouched. Attempts to make it an Scheduled Ancient Monument in 1963 failed and it was scheduled for demolition, but on attracting interest from a local Catholic priest(Father Tanner) it was privately purchased two years later. From 1967, it underwent a one-year restoration project, using original medieval techniques (although at least 75 percent of the building seen today is original), and reconsecrated in 1968 [1]. During the restoration there was a 4 day archaeological investigation conducted by Brian Philp [2]. In 1973 the building was protected with a grade II* listing.[4] It is now an ecumenical chapel, and was for a time open to the public. It now rarely opens. It is maintained by The St Edmund of Abingdon Memorial Trust. Though it is used for a Saturday morning Eucharist, a Christian Unity vigil, candle-lit services for the Feast Days of St Edmund and St Richard, it now opens to the public less frequently. On Good Friday 18 April 2014 prayers were said in the chapel by the Archbishop of Canterbury The Most Reverend Justin Welby. The first visit by an Archbishop of Canterbury for many centuries.

Today was rough.
It was kind of the culmination of a horrible past few months. I have never ever felt like I've been teared down or really bullied before. But now I understand why kids feel so powerless and afraid all the time.
Our athletic director told me he received quite a few emails of complaints about her. He's conducting an investigation and will be doing interviews. I can only hope that they have the courage to tell the truth like I did. And I hope that even the people who she adored will have the courage to tell the truth, too. I think it might have been one of the hardest things I've ever done. It was like reliving it.
I am sorry to anyone who has ever been put down or ridiculed or ignored or singled out or alienated. Now I understand that it's not like a physical injury. It doesn't heal that easy.
But I think I am stronger now. I will just keep doing what I always do and brush myself off and get on with my life. I have a million reasons to be here, and I won't let one horrible person stop me from doing what I love.

Juvenile.
Nudibranchs are a group of sea slugs characterized by having no shell, thus having their gills exposed. The name in latin, nudibranchia, means precisely that: nudi (nude, exposed) + branchia (gills).
Instead of the protective shell, the nudibranchs use other intricate defense mechanisms and that's one of the reasons they are such an interesting group to study. Not to mention their exquisite appearance.
