Remember to support Hydro Angels Over America! They are a phenomenal organization focused on helping people who suffer with Hydrocephalus. The founder Sheri Burdine has it as well, and despite living with a broken shunt, still gives every bit of herself to help others. They really need your financial and emotional support to continue their efforts!

The Board of Supervisors designated September 2019 as Environmental Health Awareness Month in Fairfax County.
The market town of Selby is dominated by the former Abbey, now the town's parish church but originally built to serve a Benedictine monastery. It is one of those rare cathedral-sized survivors of the Dissolution that have come down to us through parochial use largely intact while the vast majority were left in ruins or disappeared altogether. Thus Selby is an architectural gem and reminder of what we have lost elsewhere.
The monastic complex itself has entirely vanished, what remains is the entire abbey church (unusually complete, more often such great buildings were only partially preserved, if at all). Much of the Norman building remains, the nave being a good example of Romanesque architecture, whilst the choir is a fine exercise in Decorated Gothic from the 14th century with an attractive east window whose glass closely follows the original design. The three towers add great dignity to the building, however these are mostly early 20th century additions, necessitated by other episodes in the abbey's history less fortunate than it's being spared by the Dissolution.
The church's fortunes took a turn for the worst in 1690 when the upper half of the Norman central tower collapsed, demolishing the south transept as it fell which remained in ruins until more recently. The top of the tower was later rebuilt in Georgian style but this was removed by the end of the Victorian period during a thorough restoration of the building (no doubt a replacement was intended but not immediately realised).
Disaster then struck in 1906 when a major fire engulfed the building (starting in the organ-chamber off the north transept) and destroyed all the furniture of the choir and the high ceilings of nave, choir and transept, leaving the church in a pitiful ruined state. Remarkably the town rallied behind restoration and the entire church was repaired and back in full use within three years of the calamity.
More remarkable still was additional transformation of the exterior that followed under architect John Oldrid Scott who finally rebuilt the upper stage of the central tower and the south transept (both truncated since 1690) in 1912. Finally in 1935 the west towers were raised to their present height (they were never completed in medieval times) giving us the majestic triple-towered church we see today for the first time in its history, and a church transformed more successfully and dramatically in the space of a few years than anyone generally might realise from its homogeneous appearance today.
Stepping into the great church today one is often aware that so much has been restored in the early 20th century, but the work has been beautifully done and some old features such as the wooden font-cover survived the blaze. Other elements were less lucky, the 14th century glass in the east window suffered badly and what we see today is a careful copy of the original (a few fragments of the original can be seen in the north choir aisle nearby). Throughout the church the high ceilings are adorned with gloriously gilded bosses that enliven the interior, most again are copies of the burned originals but successfully echo the medieval spirit.
Selby Abbey is one of the great churches of England and can't fail to impress the visitor. It is generally open to visitors and I found the locals very welcoming. I hope to return again some day.
BODY AWARENESS

A touching comedy from the Obie Award-winning author of Circle Mirror Transformation. It’s Body Awareness Week at Shirley College, and the non-traditional Vermont family members Phyllis, Joyce and their possibly autistic son Jared are rocked by a visiting photographer and his ‘male gaze.’ As sexuality, identity, role modeling and political-correctness get stirred up, the results are both touching and hilarious.

Please be aware... I am no stamp expert. Posted titles here are either what I was told when acquiring these or are from a simple Google search. I make no claim as to them being 100% accurate but I make an effort to be as factual as I am able when posting. There may well be some duplication of type or variety, but I try not to double post any single items. My feeble brain may slip on that from time to time. These are all from my semi worthless collection from over the years. Little to no value exists in most (if not all) of them. They are just a hobby.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month. My Aunt died from it, my grandmother had it twice and had her breast removed and reconstructed. She got cancer a third time and didn't make it. I had a scare with breast cancer a few years back when my doctor found a lump. After seeing a few specialist I learned that I have " fibrocysic breasts" self breast exams are extremely important. Especially because I constantly have new lumps. I need to be able to differentiate between cysts and and cancerous lumps.

Nashville Hygienists Walk to Promote Oral Cancer Detection. The event took place at Nashville’s Centennial Park on Saturday, March 14, 2009. The walk was lead by Nashville hygienist and NADHS board member Nicki Raines and included free oral cancer screenings, guest speakers, raffles, and more. Several hygiene students from Tennessee State University and other students from Aquinas College worked as volunteers the day of the event, and numerous local companies donated raffle items. Because of her work and passion in organizing this event, Nicki was given a Distinguished Service Award by the Tennessee Dental Hygienists Association. Today, NADHS and Nicki are making “Boot Scootin’ for Oral Cancer Screening” an annual event. Thanks to Nicki Raines and her fellow hygienists, it looks like Nashville has produced yet another big hit.

In Murakami’s world, the self often exists adjacent to reality, not fully inside it. That is all my shadow is doing here.
