So they're banning texting while driving soon, I really think they should make texting while crossing the street illegal as well. Can't even begin to think about how many times I've seen people almost get hit because they were too "busy" to realize they were crossing on a red light.

La Economía chilena se mueve en diferentes caminos, uno de ellos es el de la venta al por menor (detallista) y al por mayor (mayorista), siendo este último canal el reflejado en la fotografía. Acá observamos los precios al por mayor de un conjunto de dulces, helados, bebidas y aguas minerales (los tres últimos muy demandados en esta época de verano en pleno hemisferio sur, en específico Chile) que generalmente son comprados por comerciantes ambulantes (callejeros) o comerciantes ya establecidos (generalmente almaceneros, dueños de kioscos, etc) para luego ser vendidos a los consumidores finales.
Estimaciones preliminares indican que estos comerciantes aplican un margen de alrededor de un 50% antes de impuestos, lo que facilita la rentabilidad de estos pequeños emprendimientos.
Saludos a todos, que tengan una buena noche

St George, Rollesby, Norfolk
A large round-towered church, the 13th Century upper stages of the tower octagonal. The church has one of the best collections of early 20th Century glass in Norfolk.
After my previous visit, ten years before, I'd written, in part: Something extraordinary happened to the Church of England during the middle years of the 19th century. For generations, it had been an arm of the state, the rock upon which the protestant nation was built. But a series of reform acts in the 1820s and 1830s made that rock tremble.
Firstly, many of the administrative functions of the Church were taken away and handed to secular authorities. And then, even worse, Catholicism was decriminalised. Suddenly, it was possible for Christians to worship without owing allegiance to the Crown or to the Bible of non-conformism. Where did the Church of England's identity now subsist? Was it to be sidelined as a mere protestant sect?
A group of academics at Oxford University sprang into action. They called for the re-establishment of Anglicanism as a National Church. They issued a series of tracts, explaining the historic roots of the Church of England, and its self-perception as a Church with an apostolic tradition. Because of this, they became known as the Tractarians, or the Oxford Movement.
The great majority of the British people in the 1830s and 1840s had a serious mistrust of anything that had happened before the 16th century Protestant Reformation. It smacked of Popery; but the Tractarians took on the task of smoothing over the Reformation gap and re-establishing the connection between the 19th century church and its medieval predecessor. They made a spectacularly successful job of this, and as a result the Church of England was changed forever. In just about every parish in the land, Anglican churches were restored to their medieval integrity.
Sacramental chancels were refitted, the old protestant furnishings thrown out, and surviving medieval artefacts rediscovered with alacrity and restored enthusiastically to use. By the 1870s, Anglican churches were once again a riot of colour and ceremony, where only half a century before most had been dull, plain, preaching boxes.
There were, of course, casualties. In seeking out the Catholic medieval roots of the Church, Oxford's academics had also painfully exposed the gap between the modern Church of England and the essential nature of Catholicism. Was it really possible to find a middle way between what Anglicanism believed itself to be, and what it was unable to demonstrate as a reality? Or had the Reformation really been a fracture?
Inevitably, since the touchstone of Catholicism is the Apostolic succession, thousands of people, mainly intellectual and upper-middle class, left the Church of England to be received into the Catholic Church. But the central project of the Tractarians had succeeded. They re-established the Church of England as the spiritual and ceremonial pulse of the Nation.
Tractarianism was fully in the ascendant, becoming Anglo-catholicism as the century progressed, and reaching its peak during the First World War, as the Church provided the triumphalism necessary for the fight, and the authority to mourn for its casualties afterwards.
But the First World War had broken the spell. Reaching a peak in the 1930s, the ceremonies and liturgies of the High Church wing began to ring hollow, and by the 1950s and 1960s the Anglo-catholics were a minority. Newer spiritual currents were running deeper; evangelicalism was undergoing a renaissance, especially in the cities. After the 1992 decision to ordain women as Priests, Anglo-catholicism fragmented; the larger, liberal wing sought out a quieter, more intellectual spirituality. The spiky, militant wing was left to sulk outside the doors of the Church, administered by Flying Bishops and treated as an exotic flower. How much longer can it bloom, or even survive?
And yet, something remains. Because the great wave of restoration in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, handsomely bankrolled as it was by the booming economy and a new, wealthy landed class, produced a massive refurnishing of English churches, not least in the way of stained glass. That the windows are full of coloured glass would be the most startling change a 18th century Anglican would notice if he could visit a church today. In the later 20th century, as Anglo-catholicism retreated, and High Church ceremonial disappeared, the glass remained. And so it does today, often the only surviving evidence of that remarkable time*.
There seems to have been a lot of money about in this part of Norfolk during those years, because the churches were, in the main, extensively restored and furnished. Much of this has gone today, but as I say, the glass remains, and here at Rollesby there is an impressive collection. At Ormesby St Margaret up the road, the medievalisation of the building was paid for by the Lacon brewing family, but here the benefactor was the Rector himself.
The gift of the living, £657 a year, about £130,000 in today's money, was in the hands of the Tacon family, and in 1872 the current owner, Richard John Tacon, presented himself to the living. He was to remain Rector for nearly sixty years, and in that time he would transform the interior of this church. Because of him, St George has one of the largest collections of 19th and 20th Century glass east of Norwich. In this area, only Ormesby St Margaret and Filby have more, and they are much bigger churches than this one.
I mention all this before anything else merely to illustrate the point that English churches are rarely evidence of continuity, but of the drama of violence and ideas. The architectural historian Andy Foster has described history as a palimpsest, but not all historical periods write with equally heavy hands. The character of St George today is almost entirely the work of the Reverend Tacon - and yet, he has been dead eighty years, and virtually nothing in the Church of England remains the same. The liturgy has changed, ideas and attitudes have changed, and certainly the centrality of the church in mainstream English life has changed, and gone for good. And yet still these windows remain.
It was a bright spring day. The blue sky set off beautifully Rollesby's magnificent chancel with its crowning pinnacle figures. The nave, aisles and chancel, unusually for Norfolk, are almost entirely of the Decorated period, the early 14th century, with little of the more familiar Perpendicular architecture of a century and more later. The clerestory in particular is a textbook example of the period. The window tracery is largely Victorian, and the top of the tower probably late 13th century, and possibly contemporary with the building of the nave and chancel. The lower part of the tower is so restored that I found it hard to tell how old it was.
St George has a number of interesting memorials. Reclining at a precarious angle on the north side of the sanctuary is Rose Claxton, in late 16th century dress. She looks rather as if she's just been stuck up the corner because they can't think what else to do with her, poor thing, but her inscription assures us otherwise:
Know Friendly Passenger that this smale roome
Rose Claxton's Body onelye doth intombe.
Her Bewtye, Love & Gracefull Modestye
In her Freinds Hartes shall Lyve Eternallye.
Across from her is Leonard Mapes of Beeston next Norwich with his wife and his children in alabaster, all praying together. He died in 1619, and it looks as if the top of his memorial is missing. Under the tower is a very simple memorial to Hannah Watson, who died in 1810. Just in front of her is the font, one of several local Purbeck marble fonts reset on a collonade. Inside it is a portable font of the sort used by energetic 19th century Rectors.
And there are a couple of curiosities that are worth mentioning. Although the nave and chancel appear broadly contemporary, the arcades do not match up with the chancel. Simply, the chancel is too wide.
What happened here? The obvious answer is that the arcades replaced the walls of an earlier church, and the chancel was built independently of this work. In the south-east corner of the chancel is a very curious structure, a little room built into the sanctuary. It must be a sacristy of some kind - what else could it be? But why is there nothing like it anywhere else in East Anglia?
*Indeed, the tradition continues here with the installation in 2011 of a large window depicting St Raphael on the north side of the chancel, by Emma Blount.

The Sherborne Pageant Participants Project, run by the Somerset & Dorset Family History Society, is keen to find out more about those who took part in the Sherborne Pageant. For further information visit: www.sdfhs.org/sdfhs-projects/introduction-to-sdfhs-projec...
Further information about the Sherborne Pageant can be found on the Sherborne School Archives website: oldshirburnian.org.uk/sherborne-pageant-1905/
Illuminated address, bound in white vellum, presented to L.N. Parker in the Digby Assembly Rooms, Sherborne on 24 October 1905. Includes 863 signatures of performers and assistants who were involved with the staging of the Sherborne Pageant on 12-16 June 1905, arranged by episode (the narrative chorus, the orchestra, episodes 1-11, the maypole, the pedestal group, shield children, assistants at the gates, assistants at the stands, workers) [Sherborne School Archives, ref. SS/PAG/11/5].
L.N. Parker in 'Several of My Lives' states that the narrative chorus 'is a male-voice chorus in dignified robes, whose function remotely resembles that of the chorus in Greek drama. In majestic verse and stately music it introduces, links, and explains the episodes. It fills the gaps between them, and so ensures the continuity of the performance.'

This is the second incarnation of the X-files tattoo. This time I used a round liner 3-needle, and it was a lot easier. The first time the only thing I had available was the 4-needle shader, and that didn't work so well.
Here's the picture of the first tattoo, right after I did it.
