The origins of the cathedral are related to the construction in 445 of a stone church on the Druim Saileach (Willow Ridge) hill by St. Patrick, around which a monastic community developed.[2] The church was historically the centre of the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland. The cathedral and its assets were appropriated by the state church, called the Church of Ireland, as part of the Protestant Reformation in Ireland. The English government under King Henry VIII of England transferred the assets. It has remained in Anglican hands since the reign of Queen Elizabeth I of England. A Roman Catholic cathedral, also called St Patrick's Cathedral, was built on a neighbouring hill in the nineteenth century. Cordial relations exist between both cathedral chapters.
The church itself has been destroyed and rebuilt 17 times. The edifice was renovated and restored under Dean Eoghan McCawell (1505–1549) at the start of the sixteenth century having suffered from a devastating fire in 1511 and being in poor shape. Soon after his death the cathedral was described by Lord Chancellor Cusack as ‘one of the fairest and best churches in Ireland’.[3] Again it was substantially restored between 1834 and 1840 by Archbishop Lord John George Beresford and the architect Lewis Nockalls Cottingham. The fabric remains that of the mediaeval building but much restored. While Cottingham was heavy-handed in his restoration, the researches of T. G. F. Patterson and Janet Myles in the late twentieth century have shown the restoration to have been notably antiquarian for its time. The tracery of the nave windows in particular are careful restorations as is the copy of the font. The capital decoration of the two westernmost pillars of the nave (either side of the West Door internal porch) are mediaeval as are the bulk of the external gargoyle carvings (some resited) of the parapet of the Eastern Arm. Cottingham's intention of retaining the richly-cusped West Door with flanking canopied niches was over-ruled. Subsequent restorations have more radically altered the internal proportions of the mediaeval building, proportions which Cottingham had retained.
Irlanda - Dunsany - Castillo Killeen
ENGLISH:
Killeen Castle, located in Dunsany, County Meath, Ireland, is the current construction on a site occupied by a castle since around 1180. The current building is a restoration of a largely 19th century construction, burnt out in 1981. Killeen was built as one of a pair of castles either side of a major roadway north, the other being the extant Dunsany Castle. The demesne contains the castle itself, a substantial stable yard, a church (sometimes, incorrectly, called "Killeen Abbey"), a holy well (the "Lady Well") a pond, a walled garden and other features. The church, dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, was erected around 1425, is in the Gothic style and has an adjacent cemetery. It is preserved as a National Monument.

En la localidad de Dunsany, condado de Meath, hay una propiedad que hoy está orientada al turismo pero que se alza en el sitio donde estuvo un antiguo castillo. El edificio actual, que se ha convertido en un hotel de lujo después de una gran restauración, en realidad era una mansión típica del siglo XIX. Pero se quemó en 1981 así que tuvo que ser reconstruida. El castillo que solía estar aquí servía para proteger la ruta del norte y no era el único en la zona pues el Castillo Dunsany mismo está todavía muy cerca. Parece que el castillo original era una fortaleza normanda constuida por la familia de Lacy que después pasó a manos de la familia Cusack y finalmente cayó en la familia Plunkett. Pero fue uno de los Cusack quien en el siglo XII construyó sobre el castillo normando el Castillo Killen mismo. Parece que tenía cuatro altas torres de cinco pisos cada una, murallas, escaleras de madera muy altas, puertas angostas y que estaba construido sobre una loma. Cuando, por matrimonio, el castillo pasó a la familia Plunket, primeros barones de Killeen y ya no lores, la propiedad se divide en dos: a un hijo le toca el Castillo Dunsany y al otro el Castillo Kileen. El castillo decayó en el siglo XVIII y debió ser restaurado en el siglo XIX pero gran parte fue demolido y vuelto a construir siguiendo un stilo que recordaba al Castillo de Windsor. Finalmente el último miembro de los Plunkett, entonces Conde de Fingall, lo vendió en 1955 y por mucho tiempo el sitio funcionó como stud de caballos. En 1981 alguien lo incendió y fue abandonado por muchos años hasta que en 1989 las tierras se vendieron de nuevo y empezó a construirse el hotel de lujo.

When I saw this record shop on a corner in Soho, I couldn't help thinking of Nick Hornby's novel, "High Fidelity." The book was made into a movie starring John Cusack, as the rather lost and bumbling owner of both a failing record store, and a hopelessly plummeting personal life.
I remember Rod's Records in San Carlos. It was a dusty, cluttered shop where you could find just about any vinyl record ever made. The owner was a conservative, caught-up-in-his-views kind of guy who droned on and on about the harshness of digital sound vs. the old analog LPs. I'm sure he cringes at current technology, where music is streamed to our ears through electronic devices.
Rod's folded years ago, and I admit to missing a casual hour here and there, spent browsing through its eccentric collection of music. Selling vinyl records for a living is a definite iffy proposition these days.
I have an uncle who used to tell me, "if you don't like change, become a math teacher." Sounds like a good alternative to vinyl record sales--but alas, perhaps not has much fun.
I wonder if this record shop in Soho has survived the times.
Anyway, that's what I got.

Day 89 (03.29.2012)
Today just sucked. One of my very best friends has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and my heart is just breaking for him, his family, and all of his friends. The shock of it just feels like a big numb void in my heart.
Tomorrow will be better, I know. For right now though, I met a few friends out and we decided to focus on how we will spend the half of a billion dollars we plan to win in the lottery tomorrow. Life is too short, live every second!
PS: Of course number 1 on our list is to invest every penny needed to cure cancer. Then with the leftovers here are a few of mine:
1) That all of my cocktails that I'll be sipping while sitting on my beach on my private island will have full sized umbrellas.
2) That I will rid the world of English peas.
3) To help the farmers and products that rely on English peas, I will have them all replaced with Edamame.
4) I will buy John Cusack and convince him to be a Republican.
5) I will have a different tiara every day to wear.

Lismore NSW Australia has experienced the brunt of extreme weather this year in the form of record flood waters.
Homes and commercial buildings have been devastated and from where we stand there's a sense of something bigger happening than just more rain.
Lucky shot! VERY fast creation. I used 2 transparent prims for the fellow in the background.
I set up and shot this one in about 3 minutes. I REALLY thought it would be difficult and take MUCH longer, attempting the transparent prim trickery and world lights and shadows.
As usual, my only post-work is adjusting shadow values.
...and the word-balloon. :-)
I'm going blank on what the song was. I have a tendency to switch back-n-forth from radio to cd alot. The cd cases go flying all over the place when I'm driving.
Went and saw the movie "Martian Child"... also a heart tugger. John Cusack has that ability to make one's heart drop a few inches just by being on the screen.

With the rugby on at the weekend I headed over to Cusack's to meet some friends who'd been at the Irish game in Croke Park, God love them...
I'd never been in the pub before, but this time it was packed so it obviously wasn't the best time to have a good look around. However, Mr. Cusack certainly has a love of all things maritime; the place is packed full of nautical memorbillia in every corner you look...you are even greeted by an old fashioned deep sea diver at the door. Quirky. I'll have to go back to see the place when it's less full. It seems to me to be a good spot with a load of character, and from what I've heard, characters.
My camera is acting up these days...I mightn't be posting as many shots as I'd like for a while. Hopefully, I'll get it sorted soon.

The Down County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) (Cummann Luthchleas Gael Coiste An Dún) or Down GAA is one of the 32 county boards of the GAA in Ireland, and is responsible for Gaelic games in County Down.
On the 19th September 2010 Down will play Cork for the All-Ireland Senior Football Final at GAA headquarters in Dublin (Croke Park) named in honour of Archbishop Thomas Croke, one of the GAA's first patrons.Although an amateur sport supporters fill Croke Park with capacity of 84,516 tickets are in very high demand.
The highest attendance ever recorded at an All-Ireland Senior Football Final was 90,556 at the 1961 Offaly v Down final. Since the introduction of seating to the Cusack stand in 1966, the largest crowd recorded has been 84,516.
During the Irish War of Independence on November 21, 1920 Croke Park was the scene of a massacre by the Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC). The Police, supported by the British Auxiliary Division entered the ground, shooting indiscriminately into the crowd killing or fatally wounding 12 during a Dublin-Tipperary gaelic football match. The dead included 11 spectators and Tipperary's captain, Michael Hogan. Posthumously, the Hogan stand built in 1924 was named in his honour. These shootings, on the day which became known as Bloody Sunday

CRACKED MIRROR
I’m beginning to suspect one of the most common human experiences has to do with feelings of disempowerment.
A surprising number of people feel deprived of influence or importance. They feel insignificant or otherwise unnoticeable – hence the popularity of social networks that provide ‘followers’ and ‘likes’ to massage our ego, or distract from our self-critical feelings of irrelevancy.
To this end the internet plays a pivotal role.
Like no other generation in history, we’re constantly bombarded with images of beautiful, happy people in amazing locations enjoying an opulent lifestyle – everything from clothes and iphones to the latest model Audi or open plan house.
We’re constantly reminded of the life we don’t occupy, the places we’ve never visited and the car we’ll never actually own. We’re taunted by beautiful models of people we’ll never meet and the sort of sexual encounters only an Olympic gymnasts could perform!
Pornography has penetrated (Freudian slip there) our culture to the extent that products and lifestyles are sold as glossy, sexy extensions of our hedonistic, device-saturated expectation of life, yet in most cases the lives we actually inhabit are very different!
The differences between our expectations, hopes and dreams and the hard realities of Mother Earth has never been so great and in the no man’s land that separates the two lies a shared experience of despair.
Yet the good news is all of this only takes place in our heads – and thankfully our head-space can change.
“Most people believe the mind to be a mirror, more or less accurately reflecting the world outside them, not realising on the contrary that the mind is itself the principal element of creation.”
Rabindranath Tagore
Thomas Cusack (October 5, 1858 in Kilrush, County Clare, Ireland – November 19, 1926 in Oak Park, Illinois) was a pioneer and entrepreneur in the outdoor advertising industry and a politician, serving as a Democratic U.S. Representative from Illinois' 4th District from 1899 to 1901.
Cusack emigrated with his family from Ireland to New York City in 1861 when he was a young boy. Shortly after the move, his parents died, leaving him and his younger brother orphaned. Cusack was raised by relatives in Chicago, where he received his education and learned how to paint, a skill that ultimately made him a very wealthy man. At the age of 17, Cusack established his own sign painting business, the Thomas Cusack Company, in Chicago, Illinois, making him one of the pioneers in the field of outdoor advertising. The business soon grew to be very profitable, leasing over 100,000 billboards and advertising spaces and turning Cusack into a prosperous and influential Chicagoan.
The Coca-Cola sign was painted over another even older sign for Wrigley’s Spearmint gum. The Wrigley name/brand is iconic in Chicago…kinda ironic it was painted over by Chicago’s Cusack company.
The 5 cents/bottle (6.5 fl oz) lasted from 1886 through 1959…quite a feat…close to 70 years.

A thrill he hasn't felt in ages courses through Dev! A lesser being is lurking nearby! He knows he should inform the city's Commander and put the city on red alert, but he is blinded to his duty by the opportunity to finally kill again!
After so many years it is an opportunity he does not plan on letting slip by!
When he defeats this invader, he will have proved his worth to the Emperor - surely he wouldn't leave behind for the second time the Dalek responsible for saving the city ?

NOT HIDING
Ironically, John Lennon was shot to death.
Ironic because at the end of his life, Lennon’s basic message was about love. In the simplest of terms he viewed love (in all its forms) as a counter-weight to many of the problems we encounter.
He once said: ‘We live in a world where we have to hide to make love, while violence is practised in broad daylight.’
The emotional bonds we share with certain people form the most precious reasons for living and it’s fitting we celebrate them both in life itself and in the things we create.
It’s fitting we ground ourselves in love by voicing it, ‘not’ hiding it.

i was born locked-down
locked-down within myself
locked-down by my own lack of confidence
my own unwillingness to rise above my fears
and take ownership
confined, cloistered by something inside
that is solely mine
every knock and bruise I’ve encountered
is mine also
because there’s no-one here to deal
with their consequence but me
no-one to blame, nothing that changes
what was
so every word I speak, every move I take,
every choice I make now and forever is mine
i was born locked-down
yet have earned my freedom

The sculpture was designed and engineered by Victor Cusack and is constructed of bronze, stainless steel and glass. It is approximately 8 metres tall and weighs 20 tonnes. Titled ‘Man, time and the environment’, the sculpture pays tribute to the beauty of the environment in Hornsby Shire and reminds us of our need to show responsibility to the land around us and how time is of the essence. It was designed to evoke curiosity and fascination.
Victor was born in Manly, and in pursuit of his passions has travelled far and wide, now living on the NSW North Coast. He is distinguished as an artist, sculptor and poet. His 16 public bronze sculptures in Australia include the Pacific Family (The Dolphins) in Warringah Mall and the First Fleet Bicentennial Sculpture in Bicentennial Park West Pymble. The Australian government gave two of his bronze sculptures as sister city gifts to Portsmouth and Edinburgh, U.K.
The Hornsby Water Sculpture is his largest and most complex sculpture. He conceived, designed, engineered and cast the sculpture at his fine art bronze foundry in Brookvale.
Victor at the age of 84 continues to paint in his studio 5 hours a day and is closely involved in the Water Sculpture’s revitalisation.
The Hornsby Water Sculpture is now almost 30 years old and the revitalisation project involved refurbishing the moving elements that have worn over that time as well as some minor modifications.
These include adding an electric support system to the dial clock and reducing the wear and tear on the water wheel by limiting the movement of the buckets.
The pontoon on which the water sculpture is mounted, will be stabilised in one position. The hydraulic functions will be upgraded to meet current safety requirements and the pond will be resealed.
The entire sculpture will be cleaned, with its natural patina left as always intended. Key elements will be polished to highlight them, much how it was when it was originally commissioned, and a new lighting system will be installed. z2_277
