BAVARIA 93 figure of a man on the roof is said to be that of themaster-builder, who, chagrined that his apprenticesurpassed him, cast himself down to the pavementbelow. Time and space fail us to speak of the Francis-kaner Church, the Westminster Abbey of Rothen-burg; the Ploenlein, the house of the builder ; theold Jewish dance-house, the Hegereiter house, theGymnasium, and, above all, the magnificence of thedouble Town Hall. The lantern in the courtyardof this building has been more frequently paintedthan any other subject in the empire. The great event that is commemorated everyyear at Whitsuntide, The Maste? Draught, tookplace in this hall. The play was written by goodold Adam Horber, whose kindly face, painted by anartist hand, looks at you in one of the upper rooms. It seems that in 1631 Tilly sat down beforethe town to starve it into submission if he couldnot take it by storm. Gustavus Adolphus hadsent 500 Swedes to assist the townsmen in theirdefence.

Petrus Christus (1410/1420–1475/1476) was an Early Netherlandish painter active in Bruges from 1444.
Christus was born in Baarle, near Antwerp and Breda. Long considered a student of and successor to Jan van Eyck, his paintings have sometimes been confused with those of Van Eyck. At the death of Van Eyck in 1441, it was reasoned, Christus took over his master's workshop. In fact, Christus purchased his Bruges citizenship in 1444, three years after Van Eyck's death. Had he been an active pupil in Van Eyck's Bruges workshop in 1441, he would have received his citizenship automatically after the customary period of one year and one day.

As a golfer and fan of the game, and like so many others, I've always looked at The Masters as a magical, almost mythical, event. As can be seen above, these fans from Australia know how to represent their Motherland.
The Masters, played at the equally esteemed and mythical club, Augusta National Golf Club, is unlike any other event and obtaining tickets to practice rounds and especially tournament rounds is beyond difficult. Tournament tickets have officially been unavailable for years. The only way to obtain one is through scalpers or the generosity of a Patron with a badge. In case you're wondering, people who attend The Masters are officially referred to as "Patrons" - just one of the many facets & traditions of this tournament that make it special. Through the generosity of friends, I've had the good fortune to attend The Masters twice - once on Friday and another time on a Saturday. Both times were magical.
Practice Round tickets are only available on a lottery basis. After sending in my application and striking out for the past six or seven years, I finally lucked out for 2011 and was able to get tickets for myself, my son, and my father. My father introduced me to the game of golf and we spent many, many hours together on various courses around US.
To be able to spend the day at such a special place with such special people is one of the highlights of my life.
"Well, hello, big boy. Captain Jack Harkness," flirts Jack as he holds out his hand to Brad.
"Jaaaack," I say.
The Master just looks on with disgust.

Today was the Drive, Put and Chip Challenge put on for the young golf athletes who qualified their way through to the nationals. Instead of it being hosted at The First Tee, both boys and girls of their respective age groups were allowed to play at the Augusta National Golf Course - The finest golf course in the world.
As these very talented and young golfers competed, Bubba Watson came out to play through the course - smiling and greeting everyone along the way. A true champion!
The shortest hole is a bear to play because of swirling winds. Its usually a medium- or short-iron shot to a narrow green that is protected by Raes Creek in front and azaleas behind.
"Here the distance must be gauged very accurately, and the wind sweeping down along Rae's Creek is often deceptive to the player standing on the tee about to hit."
--- Bobby Jones
No change has been necessary for this hole. This is the most terrifying shot on the golf course when the winds are swirling. A short approach will find Rae's Creek or the bunker in front of the green; a long approach could find one of the two bunkers in the rear.
Built as the successor to the Carolingian Royal Hall, today it contains exact replicas of the imperial crown jewels, true in size and material to the originals, presently in the Vienna Secular Treasury. On the walls are the Charlemagne frescoes, painted in the 19th century by Alfred Rethel, illustrating the victory of the Christian Franks over the Germanic heathens.

Andries Cornelis Lens - Flemish painter and writer. He was the son of the flower painter Cornelis Lens (d after 1766) and studied first under Charles Ykens II (1719-53) and then under Balthazar Beschey. In 1756 he was awarded first prize at the Academie of Antwerp and in 1763 was appointed to the staff on the strength of his decoration (destr.) of the refectory of the Alexians at Lier. He also came to the attention of Charles Alexandre, Duke of Lorraine and Bar, Governor-General of the Netherlands, who appointed him court painter in the following year. - (b Antwerp, 31 March 1739; d Brussels, 30 March 1822)
