This is from the diary of Mary Anne Frances Wilmot. She came from Oystermouth in Wales, and was 9 years old when she started it. The full text of the diary and some details of the people in it can be found at wilmotdiary.wordpress.com.

 

We all assembled in the drawing room, and the Bride came down and looked so very nice. She was beautifully dressed. Her dress was white glacé silk with the upper skirt trimmed with ruches of white silk, and a wreath and veil, which became her beautifully. She was quite composed and remained so throughout the whole ceremony.

 

We 8 bridesmaids then started in the Break. We were saluted several times on the road by the firing of some guns, which made us all jump, and scream tremendously.

 

I forgot to say the day was miserably cold and it was raining hard; and we in our thin muslins were nearly frozen ( Our dresses were white spotted muslin. the upper skirt trimmed with silk and finished off in Vandykes of ruches in tulle, Lilac. white muslin scarfs, with Lilac riban and bow behind. and white crepe bonnets trimmed with white and Lilac, Lilacs)

 

When we arrived at the Lytch gate, we had to wait some time while the people who had started before us, got out of their carriages. While we were waiting there Aunt Caroline and Grandmama arrived. So we waited in the Lytch gate till she got out, and she took Morton’s arm; and we followed her up the walk to the church – fortunately they had put some matting down, so that saved our white satin shoes, a little, but it was raining hard, and Dulcie Vivian and I had to walk up without an umbrella.

 

Mr Welby did the service very nicely, and after it was over we all came home, to the breakfast; at which there were 36 people, all the Vivians and Grenfells, & others.

 

The cake was very pretty and very good. & while we were very busy eating it, the bride appeared at the door, all ready to start, just to say goodbye, but every body rushed out to see the start, and an old shoe was thrown after the carriage – they both looked very happy, particularly Aunt Caroline.

 

We had to wait some time longer before we could be quiet. The Vivians and others stayed in the drawing room, and conversation was carried on. At last they went, & very glad we were to take off our dresses, and rest.

News - TROY FLEECE/Leader-Post - Family, friends, trained search and rescue, members of the RCMP and other members of First Nations joined in a search effort on Friday to try locate missing Amber Redman on the Standing Buffalo Reserve. Amber's mom Gwenda Yuzicappi was on hand to help organize the search parties for her missing daughter.

Mother of missing woman sharing story with others

Gwenda Yuzicappi has never stopped looking for her missing daughter, Amber Redman, in the hopes that she is still alive.

 

On Friday, the mother from the Standing Buffalo First Nation will take her story to Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif., as part of a conference there on murdered and missing women.

 

The conference, entitled "Feminicide = Sanctioned Murder: Gender, Race & Violence in Global Context", takes a hard look at the large number of disappearances and murders of women in Canada, Mexico and Guatemala.

 

Yuzicappi has her own reasons for attending the conference.

 

Ever since Redman, 19, went missing from a Fort Qu'Appelle bar on July 15, 2005, Yuzicappi has led numerous searches for her daughter and has spoken publicly about the painful turn her life has taken.

 

"To me, doing this, I feel that this is one of my purposes for my daughter and I feel that I'm on the right track," she said. "This is my purpose."

 

Since Redman disappeared, Yuzicappi has spoken publicly at a number of events across Canada and said she felt honoured to be asked to go to Stanford to represent Canadian First Nations people who are searching for missing loved ones or mourning those who have been found murdered.

 

Yuzicappi said she has found an affinity with other families who share her experience and hopes she can now begin to connect with families from other countries.

 

"At (an) event (in Ottawa), I made a statement that I would like nation to nation to come together and support each other, the unity, to bring this issue to the forefront," she said. "When we have more people the strength is stronger and the support is enormous...

 

"I just believe this is so important and I'm so passionate about this issue that I would go and speak anywhere. If I can let one more person know about my daughter, then I believe that my purpose is met that day."

 

Yuzicappi will be speaking at Stanford alongside women from Mexico and Guatemala whose daughters have been the victims of violence in their countries.

 

Yuzicappi said she was touched by a Canadian/British-produced documentary called Killer's Paradise, which tells the story of the brutal murders of women in Guatemala, many of which go uninvestigated and unsolved. That film was to be shown at the conference on Wednesday.

 

"When I watched that documentary, it upset me but ... when I heard the parents speak on there, I just felt, 'You're going through the same thing that I'm going through,' " she said.

 

Yuzicappi said she would like to be able to help other families the way she feels she has been helped by bonding with others in Saskatchewan who share her experience.

 

"When we mention one thing, we all understand that loss that we're facing," she said. "We understand going through shock, going through denial and when we talk about it we have that similarity within the families ...

 

"But going back to Stanford University and the conference, that's my intent when I go down there. I'm hoping that (through) my words that I'm bringing, my healing and what I'm going through every day, that I'm able to extend that out to other families and vice versa."

 

Later in May, Yuzicappi will join other family members of missing aboriginal women at an event in Saskatoon. She said she would one day like to help organize a conference in Saskatchewan to host families from around the world who are experiencing the same loss.

La Sagrada Familia was originally conceived by the Catalan publisher Josep Bocabella as a work of expiation for the city's increasingly revolutionary ideas. Work began in 1882 by public subscription on a design by architect Francesc de Paula Villar, which proposed a simple church in a traditional neo-Gothic style.

 

After arguments between Bocabella and Villar, Antoni Gaudí took over as lead architect in 1884. Gaudí immediately changed the project completely, seizing the opportunity to express his strong religious and nationalist feelings.

 

After finishing the Parc Guell in 1911, Gaudí vowed to abandon secular art and devote himself entirely to the Sagrada Familia. He worked on it tirelessly for over 40 years, living as a virtual hermit in a workshop on the site. When questioned about the slow pace, he is said to have replied, "My client is not in a hurry."

 

Nevertheless, it remained unfinished at Gaudí's untimely death in 1926, when the artist was run over by a tram on the Gran Via. He died in hospital two days later and was mourned by all of Catalonia. He is buried in the crypt of the Sagrada Familia.

 

Work on the project continued after Gaudí's death under the direction of Domènech Sugranyes but was interrupted by the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War in 1935. The building remained intact during the war, but in 1936 many of its models and plans were destroyed by Catalan anarchists, who saw the church as a symbol of the old, conservative religion that had no place in the new Barcelona.

 

Construction began again in the late 1950s and has continued ever since. The current design is based on a combination of reconstructed versions of the lost plans and modern adaptations. Vaults over the side aisles were added in 1995 and the roof over the nave was finished in early 2001.

 

The current director, Jordi Bonet i Armengol, began using computers for the design and construction process in the 1980s, which has sped up the complicated process considerably. Still, the final stage of the grand Sagrada Familia is not progressing much faster than it did under Gaudi. Estimated completion dates range from 2017 to 2026, the 100th anniversary of Gaudi's death.

The big news in the Borders was the purchase of First's operations by Perrymans. Now Border Buses, they are purchasing Barc of Peebles and one of the fleet is this former Northern Irish Optare Solo SLZ8614, seen here in Galashiels.

Continuing our sous vide adventures we decided to attempt poached eggs for breakfast. Unfortunately we forgot that we only had 2 eggs left in the fridge, so instead of eggs with bacon I made a little chorizo salad with picked fiddlehead ferns, fresh mozzarella, pretzel croutons, and an artichoke tapenade dressing (basically random items lying around our fridge and pantry) which was then topped with the sous vide egg. The eggs were super easy to make but I suspect we'll be fiddling with the temp/time a few times to get the yolks perfect for us - they were just a tiny bit thicker than we'd like this time, but still delicious.

 

I kind of love these ad hoc meals because it forces me to get creative with what I have!

Continuing with the 'look-back' through this year ...

 

September :

 

The Dreadful & Depressing Destash reached the hat collection - I had about 90 hats (not including partially made ones) I've managed to de-stash about 20 to various opshops.

Photo on the Top Left shows some of the chaos involved.

Top Right is a hat that I'm keeping - one I made in 1987 I think (the first time I did a millinery course) 1940s inspired (it was made on a 40s block) it actually suits me now ... I might change some of the tulle (cheap - what I could afford in the 80s) to some vintage veiling that I now own.

 

Lower Left - finally finished Hand Spinning the Bright Pink & 2 shades of Purple. I'll have to knit myself something appropriately 'Crazy Old Lady' with this yarn.

 

Lower right - another project that took longer than it should - a 'Breton' top for daughter. Was given a big cake of a 4ply (sock weight) mostly cotton yarn with an ombre effect - enough for half a jumper. Had the white wool 4ply in stash ... got out Barbara Walker's book 'From the Top Down' for guidance and ...

Boat neck with facing, hems on sleeves and body, raglan shaping, 3/4 sleeves, darts to make the body fitted.

I am pleased with it and learnt a heap about getting a top-down 'raglan' to fit well ... and why so many patterns don't.

  

Continued flooding caused evacuations throughout the county, power outages and the closure of U.S. 36 on Thursday. Parts of most major roads in Boulder were also closed.

Continuing, a potential first record for New York County (finder unknown to me).

On October 12, 2015, St. John Cantius Parish was privileged to host the major relics of the body of St. Maria Goretti- the youngest canonized Saint in the Church. The relics are on tour around the United States as a preparation for the Year of Mercy which, according to the will of Pope Francis, is to begin in December. Thousands came to venerate the relics, hear about the life of this outstanding young Saint who forgave her own murderer and became the reason of his conversion, as well as to take part in the Solemn High Pontifical Latin Mass celebrated by Bishop Joseph Perry in honor of St. Maria Goretti.

The monthly series

According to the statements of the Venetian historian Carlo Ridolfi (1648), a series of paintings representing the twelve months was sent to Rudolf in Prague: It is very likely that the works exhibited here are just those which belonged to the Emperor. The paintings correspond to the refined taste of an aristocratic authority: The high decorative value, the grandiosity of the iconographic program and sizeable dimensions suggest that they were intended for a great room.

In the inventory of the Archduke Leopold Wilhelm are to be found the twelve paintings recorded as works of the young Bassano: almost all are signed and have been created by Leandro towards the end of the nineties of the 16th century. The series has been preserved almost completely, and so we can still enjoy the unity of style and content. September and October are located in Prague, December is not yet reappeared. The image representing July was cut into two parts, probably for decorative considerations, but both fragments are preserved in Vienna.

The lovely hills surrounding Bassano provides the ambience in which take place the field works characterizing the respective month. The winter months of January, February and March, however - they represent a break in the rural task list - show other subjects: the return from the hunt, the carnival and a market scene. Each month is also provided with the corresponding sign of the zodiac, which appears in the middle of the clouds. The composition, wrapped in a dusky light, develops as parallel image into the landscape: the horizon forms the bluish massive of the mountain - probably the Monte Grappa - where the eye can rest.

Leandro describes the activities of the figures with great precision and carefulness in the reproduction of the details, from the working tools, en passant, the objects up to the clothes, so that the paintings in addition also represent a considerable documentary value. The artist intends to entertain the viewer in a pleasant manner and to dispel. Probably recognized some people themselves in the episodes again: for instance, in the richly-dressed lady who had served herself crops, or in the landlord who controls with his steward the works and the harvest. The monthly cycle, which has its roots in the fertile iconographic tradition of the Middle Ages, acquires in the interpretation of Leandros the character of a lively illustrated calendar, which is aimed at an aristocratic clientele.

 

The family of painters Bassano

Bassano, a small city, situated on the slopes of Monte Grappa in the northern Veneto, gave the family of painters Da Ponte not only the nickname, but also the fundamental inspirations for the art of the head of family Jacopo and his sons.

Jacopo Bassano was primarily active in the province, far away from the urban artists' centers, and is now considered one of the great masters of Venetian painting of the Cinquecento to the side of Titian, Veronese and Tintoretto. His fame he owes, i.a., the invention of a subject type, linking the pastoral scenes with biblical or allegorical motifs: for this reason he realized completely new and original compositions, enjoying such great popularity that the heirs of Jacopo continued to produce such paintings until the middle of the Seicento and beyond. Leandro, after Francesco the most gifted of the sons, was an irreplaceable support for the father in the workshop operation. With its vibrant and brilliant colors, he continued the fame of the Bassano family into the new century and has been, as a consequence, very successful, especially in the field of portraiture.

 

Die Malerfamilie Bassano

Bassano, eine kleine, an den Hängen des Monte Grappa im nördlichen Veneto gelegene Stadt, gab der Malerfamilie Da Ponte nicht nur den Beinamen, sondern auch grundlegende Anregungen für die Kunst des Familienoberhauptes Jacopo und seiner Söhne.

Jacopo Bassano war vornehmlich in der Provinz aktiv, weit entfernt von den städtischen Künstlerzentren, und gilt heute als einer der großen Meister der venezianischen Malerei des Cinquecento an der Seite von Tizian, Veronese und Tintoretto. Seinen Ruhm verdankt er unter anderem der Erfindung eines Sujettypus, der die Pastoralszenen mit biblischen oder allegorischen Motiven verknüpfte: Er realisierte damit völlig neuartige und originelle Kompositionen, die so große Beliebtheit genossen, dass die Erben Jacopos derartige Gemälde bis über die Mitte des Seicento hinaus weiterproduzierten. Leandro, nach Francesco der begabteste der Söhne, war für den Vater im Werkstattbetrieb eine unersetzliche Stütze. Mit seiner lebendigen und brillanten Farbgebung setzte er den Ruhm der Familie Bassano bis ins neue Jahrhundert fort und war in der Folge vor allem auf dem Gebiet der Portraitmalerei sehr erfolgreich.

 

Die Monatsserie

Gemäß den Aussagen des venezianischen Historikers Carlo Ridolfi (1648) wurde eine die zwölf Monate darstellende Gemäldeserie an Rudolf II. nach Prag gesandt: Es ist sehr wahrscheinlich, dass die hier ausgestellten Werke eben jene sind, die dem Kaiser gehörten. Die Gemälde entsprechen dem raffinierten Geschmack eines aristokratischen Auftraggebers: Der hohe dekorative Wert, die Grandiosität des ikonographischen Programms und die ansehnlichen Dimensionen lassen vermuten, dass sie für einen großen Raum gedacht waren.

Im Inventar des Erzherzogs Leopold Wilhelm finden sich die zwölf Gemälde als Werke des jungen Bassano verzeichnet: Fast alle sind signiert und wurden von Leandro gegen Ende der neunziger Jahre des 16. Jahrhunderts geschaffen. Die Serie ist fast zur Gänze erhalten geblieben, und so können wir uns auch heute noch an der Einheit von Stil und Inhalt erfreuen. Der September und der Oktober befinden sich in Prag; der Dezember ist noch nicht wieder aufgetaucht. Das Bild, das den Juli darstellt, wurde in zwei Teile geschnitten, wohl aus dekorativen Überlegungen, aber beide Fragmente sind in Wien erhalten.

Die liebliche Hügellandschaft um Bassano liefert das Ambiente, in dem sich die den jeweiligen Monat charakterisierenden Landarbeiten abspielen. Die Wintermonate Januar, Februar und März hingegen - sie stellen eine Ruhepause in der ländlichen Arbeit dar - zeigen andere Sujets: die Rückkehr von der Jagd, den Karneval und eine Marktszene. Jeder Monat ist zudem mit dem entsprechenden Tierkreiszeichen versehen, das inmitten der Wolken erscheint. Die Komposition, in ein dämmriges Licht gehüllt, entwickelt sich bildparallel in die Landschaft hinein: Den Horizont bildet das bläuliche Massive des Gebirges - wahrscheinlich der Monte Grappa -, wo das Auge Ruhe findet.

Leandro beschreibt die Tätigkeiten der Figuren mit großer Präzision und Sorgfalt in der Wiedergabe der Details, von den Arbeitswerkzeugen über die Gegenstände bis hin zur Kleidung, sodaß die Gemälde zusätzlich auch einen beträchtlichen dokumentarischen Wert repräsentieren. Der Künstler beabsichtigt, den Betrachter in angenehmer Weise zu unterhalten und zu zerstreuen. Wahrscheinlich erkannte sich so mancher in den Episoden wieder: Etwa in der reich gekleideten Dame, die sich Feldfrüchte vorlegen läßt, oder im Grundherrn, der zusammen mit seinem Gutsverwalter die Arbeiten und die Ernte kontrolliert. Der Monatszyklus, der seine Wurzeln in der fruchtbaren ikonographischen Tradition des Mittelalters hat, nimmt in der Interpretation Leandros den Charakter eines lebendig illustrierten Kalenders an, der sich an ein aristokratisches Publikum richtet.

Magistrates court demolition continues even though still at a slow pace.

The retainer removed in Step 4. is trickier to put back in then to take out. Care must be taken to make sure that it is perfectly straight before screwing it in, otherwise it is easily jammed and may get stuck for good.

BLM Archaeologist Lisa Rice speaks to Oregon SHPO Archaeologist Dennis Griffin at the Archaeology Roadshow, June 3, 2017, by Greg Shine, BLM.

 

On Saturday, June 3, 2017, BLM staff from the State Office, Medford District, and Northwest District participated in the sixth annual Archaeology Roadshow on the Portland State University campus in Portland, Oregon - one of two roadshow events held in 2017.

 

Kristen Martine, Lisa Rice, Fred Greatorex, and Greg Shine represented BLM at the event, helping connect the 1000+ event attendees to the history and archaeology of public lands in Oregon and Washington.

 

Keeping with the event’s theme – “The Archaeology of Travel and Trade” – Lisa Rice highlighted historic photographs and artifacts related to the Oregon and California Railroad’s Buck Rock Tunnel and the Siskiyou Trail, relating them to today’s primary north-south travel corridor in the area: U.S. Interstate 5.

 

Fred Greatorex showcased archaeological investigations at Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area and shared materials from the BLM’s national education program in archaeology – called Project Archaeology – introducing it attendees.

 

The Archaeology Roadshow, hosted by universities, tribes, government agencies, private companies and avocational organizations, is a popular outreach opportunity where field experts can share knowledge and passion for humanity’s past with the public.

 

Consistent with our goal to serve the American family by connecting adults and kids to America’s natural and cultural heritage through public lands, BLM Oregon/Washington continued to take a leadership role in organizing this outreach and partnership event this year.

 

Kristen Martine, Dave Johnson, and Greg Shine were key members of the core planning committee overseeing these two events in 2017, and Burns District Archaeologist Scott Thomas was the primary event organizer for the first-time event in Hines.

PRESIDIO OF MONTEREY, Calif. -- Continuing a long standing tradition, service members from the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center came out in perfect Monterey weather on Feb. 10 to the Pebble Beach golf course for the 3M Celebrity Challenge charity event. Service members got a chance to see and mingle with celebrities such as Bill Murray, Ray Romano and Clint Eastwood as they played five holes of Pebble Beach known affectionately as the "whiskey run" to help raise $100,000 for charities in this event immediately preceding the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am golf tournament.

This is a photograph from the 6th annual running of the Trim AC 10 Mile Road Race and Fun Run which was held in Trim, Co. Meath, Ireland on Sunday 2nd February 2020 at 12:00. The race attracted over 1,500 finishers which demonstrates again the popularity of this race. Indeed the event shows growth year on year mirroring the growing popularity of the race. The race started on the Trim/Athboy road on the town's ring road and proceeds to take an anti-clockwise loop out towards the village of Dunderry and townland of Kilbride before returning back to the Trim Industrial Estate for the finish. The route is held on quiet country roads with some hills at 3, 6, 8 mile segments. The road is well marked and marshaled and is comfortable able to accommodate the race at its current size.

 

The weather for this year's race good but there was a significant breezy headwind from around the half way mark until the the finish. Many runners found this particularly difficult.

This photographs is part of a large Flickr photoset of photographs of photographs from the 1 mile mark, 2 mile mark and also from the 500 and 100 meters to go mark. The full Flickr photoset is available at www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157712944593478

 

Waterstops were provided at the 4.5 and 7 mile marks on the course. All access roads were well stewarded. Indeed the majority of the race was run on closed roads. The event was sponsored by Nally's SuperValu, who are based in the heart of Trim, and many other local business establishments. Credit must go to the Trim AC team for their flawless organisation. If the first three years of this year are anything to go on then this race will continue to grow in popularity. Runners from clubs and groups in almost every county in Ireland were represented today. For runners around the North Leinster and Midlands area this 10 mile race serves as a perfect training progress stepping stone to the Bohermeen Half Marathon which will take place in March 2020 and is located only 15 minutes drive from Trim. Again this year, today's race also served as the Meath AAI 10 Mile Road Race Championships.

 

The 10 Mile Road Race is becoming somewhat an endangered species of the Irish road racing calendar. The popularity of shorter races and in some cases the half marathon sees less 10 mile races being organised. There is also the considerable road management associated with the 10 mile distance. However, today's race in Trim shows that there is still huge appeal in these races. As the Ballycotton 10 Mile slogan used to be "A classic race ... at a classic distance". The Trim 10 Mile is slowing becoming the Ballycotton of North Leinster with the club's offering of this classic distance.

 

Timing and overall event management was provided by the Co. Kildare based company Popup Races. The results and more details about the race will be found on their website at www.popupraces.ie
