Geldkikkers brengen welvaart in je leven
Three legged Frog
De kikker is in andere culturen van oudsher een symbool van vruchtbaarheid en nieuw leven. De Egyptische godin Heket werd bijvoorbeeld afgebeeld met een kikkerkop, of soms helemaal als kikker. Bij de Egyptenaren was het ook gebruikelijk kikkeramuletten mee te geven aan mummies om hen te helpen bij hun wedergeboorte. In China kom je op veel plekken de geldkikker tegen. Ook wel Three Legged Frog genoemd; het belangrijkste symbool van welvaart-, rijkdom- en geldzegeningen in Feng Shui.

Amarbayasgalant Monastery is one of the three largest Buddhist monastic centers in Mongolia. The monastery complex is located in the Iven Valley near the Selenge River, at the foot of Mount Büren-Khaan in Baruunbüren sum (district) of Selenge Province in northern Mongolia. The nearest town is Erdenet which is about 60 km to the southwest.
Amarbayasgalant was one of the very few monasteries to have partly escaped destruction during the Stalinist purges of 1937, after which only the buildings of the central section remained. Many of the monks were executed by the country's Communist regime and the monastery's artifacts, including thangkas, statues, and manuscripts were looted, although some were hidden until more fortunate times.
Today, only 28 temples remain. Restoration work began in 1988 with funds provided by UNESCO and private sources and some of the new statuary was commissioned in New Delhi, India.
Last of the fog shots for a while...hope you enjoyed them....

Day 33 of 365 (Year Three)
In honor of the Aliens VS Monsters commercial that aired yesterday along with the SOBE commercial that aired during the Super Bowl and in honor of Chuck which was on tonight, all in lovely 3D, I give you Me In 3D.
This is done in the old style Red - Cyan Anaglyph style. I'm working on getting one done in the new style, but I'm having downloading issues. As soon as I get it done I'll link to it from here and post it to my stream. Looks like I'll have to wait about four days before they send me an unlock code for their program.
You can make one of your own with this nifty little program.

Seen in the Montana Auto Museum in Deer Lodge. This museum was once known as the Towe Ford Collection. Towe had tax trouble and had to sell his cars, but friends bought many of them at auction and put them back into the museum.
These tri-five cars were not part of that collection, but there sure are a lot of them. All the cars on display are very nice examples. Unfortunately, space is tight and they are displayed as if in a parking garage.
The museum is in part of an old prison, which is very famous for being haunted. All the ghost searchers have been here. I did not take the prison tour.

I re-drafted my pattern (created last spring) and I'm pretty pleased with the fit. :)

Mongolian wrestling, known as Bökh (Mongolian: Бөх or Үндэсний бөх), is the folk wrestling style of Mongols in Mongolia, Inner Mongolia and other regions. Bökh means "durability".
Wrestling is the most important of the Mongolian culture's historic "Three Manly Skills", that also include horsemanship and archery. Genghis Khan considered wrestling to be an important way to keep his army in good physical shape and combat ready. The Manchu dynasty (1646–1911) Imperial court held regular wrestling events, mainly between Manchu and Mongol wrestlers. There are several different versions, Mongolian (in the country of Mongolia and in Tuva of Russia), Buryatian (in the Buryatia of Russia) and Inner Mongolian (in northern China).

Bread for the table. These had their initial mix in the food processor (in three batches) and then treated as one large dough. Sourdough, wholewheat, rye, dash of wheatbran, whiteflour, salt, water. Risen overnight--over two nights, actually, if you count the initial sponge. I mixed the sourdough with a cup of water, a dash of bran and a cup of whiteflour one evening; next morning I added the rest of the ingredients and gave it a slow rise all day with a few hand kneads during the day; into the fridge at night. Next day brought to room temp, kneaded briefly, and shaped. Baked on the floor of the hot Aga oven. For breakfast toast, sandwiches, etc.

New Catholic Church, Streaky Bay
On Sunday, February 18, the foundation stone of the Church of St Canute, King and Martyr, was laid at Streaky Bay, in the presence of a large gathering of catholics and non-catholics from all parts of the extensive district. Mr W E Roberts, the pioneer catholic of the West Coast, was invited to lay the foundation stone. Father Cock SJ, being detained on missions in West Australia, found it impossible to reach Streaky Bay in time to preach the occasional sermon, and Fr Hogan 0P, of North Adelaide, thereupon undertook the journey of 400 miles by water and 400 miles by land, and he delivered a powerful and eloquent sermon on the Catholic Church.
The idea of building a beautiful parish church for the future priest and people of Streaky Bay, in the Port Augusta diocese, was put into shape last year.
Within a month Father Joergensen had received the promise of £1,000 from four families, whilst the few remaining families promised about £500. Accordingly, Messrs A S and F H Conrad were asked to prepare plans for a church to cost about £1500. Five tenders were received, the highest being £2,900 and the lowest £1,888. The church is being built by the lowest tenderer, Mr F Fricker, on an allotment of an acre, presented by Messrs T and C Nugent, on the pinnacle of a hill overlooking the bay.
On Sunday 108 separate offerings were placed on the stone, The stone was blessed by Father Joergensen, who for the past seventeen years has had the charge of Port Lincoln and the West Coast Mission. Father Joergensen then presented the grand old pioneer, Mr W E Roberts of Oakvale, with a silver trowel, and in making the presentation he expressed his delight in being present that day with his dear parishioners, and in being associated with his dear old friend, Mr Roberts, who richly deserved the honour conferred upon him.
Under the stone was placed a sealed bottle containing the varied history of the missionary work on the West Coast from the time that the first journey of a priest out back was made by Father Hinterocker SJ, with a pack horse, up to the present journey of the Dominican Father Hogan in a motor car. With Sunday's offering of £712, the sum of £1,249 2/9 is now in hand. Of this amount, the unassuming pioneer, W E Roberts and his sons, have contributed no less than £312. A full list of all offerings made will be published later.
The journey from Port Lincoln was made in a motor car, supplied by Fathers Joergensen and Kelly, who accompanied Father Hogan OP on the trip of 400 miles. On the forward journey the party were the guests of Mr and Mrs P P Kenny, at their home, Ballamakenny.
Mass was celebrated there by Father Joergensen, whilst Father Hogan OP offered the Holy Sacrifice in the Church of St Aidan, Colton. After visiting the sick in Talia, the party halted for dinner with Mr M A Kenny, Witera. In the afternoon the journey to Streaky Bay was completed with safety and despatch. During their two days' stay in Streaky Bay, the party were the guests of Mr Thomas Mudge, at his popular Flinders Hotel. On the return journey a detour was again made to Mr M A Kenny's home. The party on Monday night arrived at Elliston, where they were the guests of Mr J J Dowd, in whose hall two Masses were celebrated, and large numbers approached the Sacraments. The return journey to Port Lincoln was safely completed on Tuesday evening.
At the three Masses in Streaky Bay there were 41 communicants, many of whom had come long distances, for within a radius of twelve miles of the hall there are only five Catholic families, including those in the town of Streaky Bay. Father Hogan OP returned to Port Adelaide by the Paringa on Thursday, deeply impressed with the possibilities of the "fine open country" on Eyre's Peninsula.

Bishop Norton on the West Coast
Opening of new church at Streaky Bay
We learn by telegraph, from a special correspondent that the new church of St Canute at Streaky Bay, West Coast, was blessed and opened on Sunday last by his Lordship the Bishop of Pt Augusta, assisted by Rev Fathers Joergensen and Kelly. There was a large congregation, numbering 300. The collection amounted to £400, making a total of £1,800 subscribed to the building fund. The Bishop and Fathers Joergensen and Kelly made the trip in the new overland motor car.
The motor trip was a splendid and successful one. His Lordship returned to Petersburg via Wallaroo on Wednesday. [Ref: Southern Cross (Adelaide) 6-9-1912]
Canute’s Church, Streaky Bay
The anniversary of the laying of the foundation stone of the Streaky Bay Catholic Church takes place on Sunday, February 16. The Rev Father Cock, SJ, of Norwood, will journey to Streaky Bay in order to preach the occasional sermon at 11 o'clock, and Father Kelly, and probably Father Joergensen of Port Lincoln, will also take part in the celebrations.
During the past year the sum of £1,838 has been subscribed towards the building fund, and a further sum of £245 is required in order to clear the church, furniture, and fittings, of all debt. Fathers Joergensen and Kelly are hopeful that they will see the church free of debt at the anniversary celebrations. [Ref: Southern Cross (Adelaide) 14 February 1913]
Eighty Years Old
On Monday Mr Daniel T Kenny, of Lisdoonvarna, Streaky Bay, celebrated the 80th anniversary of his birth. Mr and Mrs Kenny both enjoy good health, and on Monday all their children, 33 grandchildren, and several of their oldest friends spent the day and evening with them.
In the afternoon scores of townspeople visited Mr Kenny for the purpose of wishing him many happy returns of the day.
A Handsome Gift
On Sunday July 21 before 11 o'clock mass, the Catholics of the Streaky Bay parish witnessed the blessing by Father Toal, of a beautiful set of stained glass windows, presented to St Canute's Church by Mr and Mrs Daniel T Kenny, of Lisdoonvarna, Streaky Bay, and erected during last week by Mr O M Willcock. The windows, given in memory of the parents of the donors, are richly coloured and toned, and throw upon the High Altar, over which they are erected, and over the Sanctuary, a suffused light which renders yet more devotional the atmosphere of the interior of the church.
The scenes depicted on the windows are taken from events in the life of our Lord, viz, the Birth of Christ, the crucifixion, and Christ amongst the doctors in the temple. The features and expressions of the figures are reproduced skilfully and with effect, and without any trace of that angularity and unnaturalness of pose which is sometimes seen in such works. The design and execution of the windows is the work of Australian artists of the Australian firm of Messrs Brooks, Robinson & Co, Melbourne.
In thanking Mr and Mrs Kenny on behalf of Rev Father Prendergast PP, and the parishioners for their zeal and generosity in making such an expensive contribution to the adornment of the church—the windows cost something over £100—Father Toal commended the piety which prompted the erection in the House of God, of such a worthy and so lasting a monument to the memory of their parents, whom God has called to their reward.

From, The Way of Chuang Tzu by Thomas Merton:
There were three friends
Discussing life.
One said:
"Can men live together
And know nothing of it?
Work together
And produce nothing?
Can they fly around in space
And forget to exist
World without end?"
The three friends looked at each other
And burst out laughing.
They had no explanation.
Thus they were better friends than before.
Three little maids from school are we
Pert as a school-girl well can be
Filled to the brim with girlish glee
Three little maids from school
Everything is a source of fun
Nobody's safe, for we care for none
Life is a joke that's just begun
Three little maids from school
Three little maids who, all unwary
Come from a ladies' seminary
Freed from its genius tutelary
Three little maids from school
Three little maids from school
