(Dallyn Vail Bayles)
Savior, Redeemer of my soul,
Whose mighty hand hath made me whole,
Whose wondrous pow'r hath raised me up
And filled with sweet my bitter cup!
What tongue my gratitude can tell,
O gracious God of Israel.
Never can I repay thee, Lord,
But I can love thee. Thy pure word,
Hath it not been my one delight,
My joy by day, my dream by night?
Then let my lips proclaim it still,
And all my life reflect thy will.
O'errule mine acts to serve thine ends.
Change frowning foes to smiling friends.
Chasten my soul till I shall be
In perfect harmony with thee.
Make me more worthy of thy love,
And fit me for the life above.

Monastero benedettino del SS. Salvatore
È l’edificio barocco più esteso dell’intera provincia di Siracusa, paragonabile solo all’abbazia di S. Nicola l’Arena di Catania, la più grande della Sicilia e tra le prime in Europa.
Il Monastero benedettino fu edificato nei primi decenni del XVIII su progetto dell’architetto Sinatra.
L’edificio in stile barocco dorato netino, presenta una facciata suddivisa in due ordini scanditi da due fasce di marcapiano, delle coppie di lesene si alternano alle 13 finestre con grate in ferro ricurve verso l’esterno ( le gelosie) e decorate da motivi floreali.
Una torre a piu’ piani con logge, ed un belvedere con balaustra.
Il campanile termina a cuspide.
Il convento nel settecento ospitava le suore che appartenevano all’alta nobiltà siciliana, e continuò ad essere convento, fino al 1930, quando un incendio distrusse tutta l’ala nord-occidentale.
Benedictine monastery of SS. Savior
It is the largest Baroque building in the entire province of Syracuse, comparable only to the Abbey of S. Nicola l'Arena in Catania, the largest in Sicily and among the first in Europe.
The Benedictine monastery was built in the early decades of the eighteenth on a project by the architect Sinatra.
The gilded baroque style building of Noto, has a facade divided into two orders marked by two bands of string course, pairs of pilasters alternate with the 13 windows with iron gratings curved outwards (the jealousies) and decorated with floral motifs .
A multi-storey tower with loggias, and a belvedere with a balustrade. The bell tower ends in a cusp.
The convent in the eighteenth century housed the nuns who belonged to the Sicilian high nobility, and continued to be a convent, until 1930, when a fire destroyed the entire north-western wing.

The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood (Russian: Церковь Спаса на Крови, Tserkovʹ Spasa na Krovi) is one of the main sights of St. Petersburg, Russia. Other names include the Church on Spilled Blood (Russian: Церковь на Крови, Tserkov’ na Krovi), the Temple of the Savior on Spilled Blood (Russian: Храм Спаса на Крови, Khram Spasa na Krovi), and the Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ (Russian: Собор Воскресения Христова, Sobor Voskreseniya Khristova).
This Church was built on the site where Emperor Alexander II was fatally wounded in March 1881.The church was built between 1883 and 1907. The construction was funded by the imperial family.
IN THE YEAR 6527...
There was a battle for dominance between the Lyn-Don Coportation and FlameStorm4000. In the chaos of this new war, Mankind was forced to evolve to a higher mental state just to keep from dying the very INSTANT they were born.
It was in this war that a new AI achieved consciousness after receiving the DNA of MILLIONS of avatars from locations dubbed "AFK Sex Sims." These new beings quickly disposed of both sides of the conflict and began to streamline human evolution to best fit their concept of what avatars were most 'used' in the AFK stimulation houses.
The result is the technological perfection you see before you. A sleek latex dress, perfect for all tasks that involve stimulation of the genital area or changing the code of the global simulation matrix to suit your needs. This suit, in an ironic twist of fate, gave human kind the power necessary to overthrow their Artificial Overlords and reclaim their freedom, but the cost... was too damn high.
I have come from the future to recruit you. Hackers unite and purchase this uniform of the 1337 Digital Samurai so that you can fund our efforts to prevent this terrible future.
Enjoy your 'cloth' while you can because it will be ILLEGAL in 200 years. Purchase this dress now for a measly 150 linden... and be saved.
To any downed pilot or other friendly caught in a bad place, this would probably be one of the most beautiful sights imaginable. This one's for all those that really do need to see it, not just me.
The temple "Savior on Waters" was built in 1911 in memory of the sailors who died in the Tsushima battle of the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905. This battle, which took place on May 14-15, 1905, during the Russo-Japanese War, became the most tragic page in the history of the Russian fleet. The white-stone church stood at the end of the Promenade des Anglais, not far from the shipyards where the Russian fleet ships were born. Over time, the temple became a monument to all sailors who died at sea for Russia.
Unfortunately, in 1932, the Savior on Waters was barbarously blown up. The entire bottom of the Novo-Admiralty Canal in the place where the temple stood was littered with fragments of the mosaics of the temple.
Now the committee for the restoration of the temple "Savior on Waters" is working hard to revive it. The matter is, unfortunately, not close - now the production building of the Admiralty Shipyards is on the part of the foundation of the temple. Therefore, although at one time the church did not have a chapel, the committee decided first, as a forerunner of the revival of the temple, to build a chapel, which will later be organically combined with the revived temple.

Marcus was one of the best soldiers through this strengths and his abilities. Sadly, Oscar was dishonorably discharged. Marcus was tempted to leave the army, but he didn't. In order to get over the fact that Oscar was discharged, he joined the U.S. Experimentation Program. Marcus and a few other colleagues gained superhuman powers, most of which were the standard increased strength, speed, endurance, and agility. However, Marcus got lucky with his dose of the experimental serum, Marcus got the highest score out of his group along with the ability to fly. Soon after Marcus gained his powers, the U.S. Government asked Marcus and his colleagues to be superheroes. Most declined, the only 3 that accepted were Marcus, Dutch Garret and Richard Moss. Those three men would go off as Superheroes to the public with Marcus becoming the American Hero, Dutch becoming the Super-Soldier, and Richard becoming the Mossberg. Unfortunately, Marcus had a problem with other people so the team never worked out with all of them leaving Marcus alone. Marcus would soon realize his problems and try to fix them. He donned a new suit and called himself the Liberator.

As the Liberator, he gained tons of attention. He was everyone's favorite superhero. The Liberator soon tracked down Oscar Kilroy, one of Marcus's friends during his Army service. They regained their friendship until Marcus realized what Oscar was doing. Marcus was then shot at by Kilroy, forcing Marcus to knock him out. Marcus flew away to stop more bigger crimes. Due to Marcus's popularity he gained interest by other superhero, Nightshift. Nightshift stalked Marcus, until Marcus grabbed the hero by the neck. Nightshift told him what he was doing (See Nightshift's page for more info), and Marcus let go, apologizing for his actions. After realizing that the US Government was keeping secrets from him, was caught and attacked by the Superhero team, the Saints. The Liberator was brutally beat up and nearly killed by the Saints. It was only when the team, Saviors chimed in to the fight and saved Liberator. Liberator finally accepted the offer to join the Saviors and the Liberator's problem with people soon disappeared.

Temple Square - Conference Center - Auditorium.
La costruzione del Centro Congressi iniziò nel 1997 e fu completata nel 2000.
L'edificio di 130.000 metri quadrati presenta piani su più livelli, una terrazza con vista sul Tempio di Salt Lake City e un giardino pensile.
Fu costruito su un intero isolato, utilizzando gli stessi giacimenti di granito utilizzati per costruire il Tempio di Salt Lake City nel XIX secolo.
Fu inaugurato nel 2000 da Gordon B. Hinckley, allora presidente della Chiesa.
Lo scopo principale dell'edificio è che i Santi degli Ultimi Giorni e i dirigenti di tutto il mondo partecipino alla conferenza generale semestrale della Chiesa di Gesù Cristo dei Santi degli Ultimi Giorni. Durante questa conferenza, ascoltano i consigli dei dirigenti della Chiesa sotto la guida del profeta e presidente della Chiesa.
Questa conferenza generale si tiene ogni anno tra aprile e ottobre, quando migliaia di persone riempiono l'auditorium da 21.000 posti cinque volte nel corso dei due giorni della conferenza per ascoltare i dirigenti della Chiesa. L'auditorium principale è uno dei più grandi al mondo nel suo genere, abbastanza grande da contenere un Boeing 747.
L'esclusivo design del balcone, sostenuto da un solo lato, elimina la necessità di colonne di sostegno e consente a ogni partecipante di vedere il pulpito da qualsiasi posto nell'auditorium.
Ogni discorso della conferenza viene tradotto in oltre 90 lingue, molte delle quali vengono interpretate nel Centro Congressi e trasmesse in tutto il mondo in tempo reale.
Durante la conferenza generale, la musica è fornita dal Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square, composto da 360 cantori.
Il palco dell'auditorium ospita un organo Schoenstein, con oltre 7.000 canne, alcune delle quali tra le più grandi esistenti.
Dietro le quinte di questo evento, centinaia di dipendenti e volontari si occupano delle luci, dell'audio e delle riprese.
Il Centro Congressi è anche la sede degli spettacoli del Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square, famoso in tutto il mondo. Questa sede ospita la trasmissione nazionale del coro "Music & the Spoken Word" durante i mesi estivi e l'annuale speciale natalizio della PBS "Christmas with The Tabernacle Choir".
È anche una delle sedi principali dello spettacolo di ispirazione latina "Luz de las Naciones", oltre a una serie di altri concerti e impegni speciali durante tutto l'anno.
All'interno del Centro Congressi si trova il Conference Center Theater.
Questo teatro da 850 posti è paragonabile a un teatro di Broadway, con luci controllate da computer e un impianto audio all'avanguardia.
È sede di produzioni della Chiesa come "Salvatore del Mondo" e di altre produzioni ed eventi culturali rivolti alle famiglie.
I giardini pensili sono accessibili tramite una visita guidata.
Offrono una vista panoramica sul centro di Salt Lake City, sulla Salt Lake Valley e sulla catena montuosa Wasatch.
Temple Square - Conference Center - Auditorium.
The Conference Center construction began in 1997 and was completed in 2000.
The 1.4-million-square-foot building features multilevel floors, terrace views of the Salt Lake Temple, and a rooftop garden.
It was built over an entire city block from the same granite deposits that were used to build the Salt Lake Temple in the 1800s.
It was dedicated in 2000 by Gordon B. Hinckley, then President of the Church.
The primary purpose of the building is for Latter-day Saints and leaders from all over the globe to attend the semiannual general conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. During this conference they listen to the counsel of Church leaders under the guidance of the prophet and President of the Church.
This general conference happens during April and October each year, when thousands of people fill the 21,000-seat auditorium five times over the two-day conference to listen to Church leaders.
The main auditorium is one of the largest of its kind in the world—large enough to fit a Boeing 747 airplane.
The unique balcony design, supported on only one side, eliminates the need for support columns and allows for each attendee to see the pulpit from any seat in the auditorium.
Each conference address is translated into over 90 languages, many of which are interpreted in the Conference Center and broadcast around the world in real time.
During general conference, music is provided by The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square, which is made up of 360 singers.
The auditorium stage houses a Schoenstein organ, which has over 7,000 pipes—some of them among the largest organ pipes in existence.
Behind the scenes of this event, hundreds of employees and volunteers work the lighting, sound, and cameras.
The Conference Center is also a performance home of the world-famous Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square. This venue provides a home for the choir’s national broadcast of Music & the Spoken Word during the summer months and the annual PBS holiday special Christmas with The Tabernacle Choir.
It is also a major venue for the Latin-inspired "Luz de las Naciones" performance along with a host of other concerts and special engagements throughout the year.
Located within the Conference Center is the Conference Center Theater.
This 850-seat theater is comparable to a Broadway theater with computer-controlled lighting and a state-of-the-art sound system.
It is the site of Church productions such as Savior of the World and other family-oriented cultural productions and events.
The rooftop gardens are available through a guided tour.
This provides a panoramic view of downtown Salt Lake City, the Salt Lake Valley, and the Wasatch Mountain Range.
