Dedicated on the Derby Green in Derby, Conn. on Sunday, Nov. 16, 2014. The monument includes a steel beam from the World Trade Center.
The church dedicated to "Saint Hierarch Nicolae" and the Three Holy Hierarchs in the Băneasa neighborhood is a foundation of the Văcărescu family, guarding the northern border of the Capital for more than two centuries.
The church survives as part of the mansion that was built here by Ienăchiță Văcărescu.
Saint Nicholas Church, in the Baneasa district, is an Orthodox church located on Neagoe Voda street, near the Baneasa bridge, in the northern part of Bucharest.
Under the protection of Saint Hierarch Nicolae, celebrated on December 6, and of the Three Holy Hierarchs, celebrated on January 30, this church was started before 1792, by Ecaterina Vacarescu, and finished by Enache Vacarescu.
"He who pours myrrh of great price to the whole world and to me, to the unworthy and more than all sinner, give it to me, so that I may bring you singing, Father Nicolae.
You, as the one who has courage towards God, free me from all troubles, so that I can sing to you: Rejoice, Holy Hierarch Nicholas, great worker of miracles!"
The inscription of this church testifies to the following:
"This church, in which the saint Hierarch Nicholas of Mira Lichia, the miracle worker, and the Holy Hierarchs and the great teachers of the world Basil the Great, Gregory Bogoslov and John Zlataust are celebrated, were built from the foundation of Mrs. Jupaneasa Ecaterina Vacarescu, the daughter of Mr. Donie Vacarescu - the treasurer and, remaining unfulfilled due to many scandals that have revolted our country many times, then, in the year 1792, they were committed by Mr. Enache Vacarescu and his enlightened wife , Ecaterina, daughter of Voivod Caragea, in the days of the Most Enlightened Mr. Mihai Șutu, after beautifying her with all the necessary things."
According to several documents, this church served as a prayer chapel for the Vacaresti family, with their boyar houses nearby.
In 1864, with the appropriation of the peasants, the chapel became the parish church.
The place of prayer was successively repaired in 1845 and 1888.
Later, between the years 1932-1933, the church was painted for the first time, in oil, by the painter N.I. Colnitiu, covered with tiles and floored with concrete slabs.
In the fall of 1939, when the Bucharest-Ploiesti road is being built, a protective wall is built for the church, which can be seen from the road, as well as a staircase with stone slabs.
The earthquake of 1977, the occasional repairs and the vibrations caused by the intense traffic on the road at the base of the church, severely affected its resistance structure.
Thus, starting with 1982, priest Carstoiu Virgil took care of carrying out numerous restoration and improvement works, as follows: replacement of the roof; strengthening the walls with concrete belts, which cross the church and support the roof; the organization of the church yard and its flooring with concrete tiles; removing the concrete and earth from the church, to a depth of one meter, and replacing them with river stone, and then flooring with marble; the restoration of the painting, in fresco, by the painter Banica Dumitru; furniture carved in oak wood and stained glass windows made by Gruia Rotariu.
Saint Nicholas Church was re-consecrated on May 26, 2002, the service being performed by His Holiness Vincentiu Ploiesteanul.
After this date, the interior and exterior sound system, the heating and the alarm equipment complete the series of improvements that were brought to the holy church.
The parish has a very small parish cemetery, established in 1864, located between the blocks of flats.
In 1992, in the middle of the cemetery, a chapel was built, which was consecrated in 1996.
The chapel is painted, equipped with new furniture, heating, lighting, etc.
The parish also has a parish house, bought in 1976, repaired and equipped with the necessary things, between 1983-2009.
Theresa M. Grant has dedicated her life to helping disadvantaged children. In 2005 she quit her job as a marketing executive in the Silicon Valley (near San Francisco, California) and sold all of her possessions to fulfill a calling she had to make a difference in Africa. She moved to an orphanage on a farm outside of Lusaka, Zambia. Finding so much joy and satisfaction from making a difference in the lives of others, Grant joined an organization called C2BU and launched the international side of the organization focused on helping people find their purpose in life. Grant expanded her work into the Kilimanjaro area of Tanzania and decided to start her own organization solely dedicated to empowering children in need called, Make A Difference or Make A Difference NOW. The word 'Now' was added to the organization after talking to numerous people who wanted to make a difference but found it hard to volunteer right away due to restrictions, deadlines and levels of required experience. Eventually, Make A Difference NOW developed into an organization that accepted help throughout the year no matter what talent was offered. Make A Difference NOW strives to enable people from all over the world to make a difference at the very moment they are ready.
Grant has a BS in International Relations and a BA in Spanish. She has supervised more than 60 volunteers from countries around the world including Australia, Belgium, India, Israel, Sweden, Tanzania, UK, USA and Zambia helping empower disadvantaged children as well as women by working on literacy, environmental, health and art programs to micro-loans, income generators and numerous other educational programs.
"Dedicated to Nestor Mahno" still-life is the devote to well-known Ukrainian rebel, who was persecuted by the Soviet regime. I used bold colors and powerful brush strokes, as I do in all my paintings, in order to create a lasting visual impression. Art buyers (and art lovers) will see symbolic references to prominent realistic painters like Jan Vermeer, Rembrandt and Gustav Klimt as I offer homage to their artistic vision through my own art. This artwork is still for sale, so if you’d like to purchase the painting just contact me.

Dedicated to Keith Johnstone
Every day I eat a slice of floor
with a thick layer of the window
Afternoon I drink a cup of moon
and take a nap on my mirror
Before I go to sleep I pray to dog
save the spoon have mercy on my ceiling
In my dream I walk without my door
and wake up to start from the beginning

Review by Stewart Mason
A 2002 session by percussionist Francisco Aguabella, a fixture on New York's expatriate Cuban music scene since the late '50s, Cubacan is refreshingly free of the Buena Vista Social Club cash-ins that marred so many Afro-Cuban jazz records of the late '90s and early 2000s. Instead, Aguabella concentrates on his own conga-led Latin jazz, with emphasis on the latter. The set list includes no fewer than three of Dizzy Gillespie's Latin compositions -- "Fiesta Mojo," "Dreaming," and "Tin Tin Deo" (actually a co-composition with the legendary Cuban congero Chano Pozo) -- as well as two standards given the Aguabella touch, "My Favorite Things" (a restrained version which owes little to Coltrane's famous reworking) and "Autumn Leaves" (given a more successful, almost bossa nova tinge). The heart and soul of the album, however, is in the two tracks dedicated to Aguabella's friend and mentor, Tito Puente. The reflective "El Agua Limpia Todo" is a lovely ballad that Aguabella had written in the '50s at Puente's behest, but the rollicking "Mambo for Puente" is a joyous celebration, remembering the bandleader with the passion with which that he lived and played. Nearing his seventies, Aguabella plays with the vitality of a man less than half his age, and the all-star band supports him perfectly. This is a remarkable album.

Small Tortoiseshell - Aglais urticae, seen in the gardens at Adare Manor of County Limerick, Ireland. This is a very common butterfly in Ireland which regularly frequents gardens, particularly favouring Buddlea bushes. It is mainly reddish-orange with black markings and blue spots around the border. In contrast, the underside is quite dull. It can be found sometimes hibernating in houses. For more info see: www.irishbutterflies.com/small_tortoiseshell_butterfly_of...
The Village of Pinehurst, N.C. dedicated General George Catlett Marshall Park and Monument at grounds recently prepared near the Pinehurst Golf Resort. Gen. Raymond T. Odierno, chief of staff of the U.S. Army provided the keynote address. Odierno joined Pinehurst Mayor Nancy Roy Fiorillo in laying a wreath at the newly dedicated monument. General of the Army George C. Marshall Was the Army Chief of Staff during World War II; later he served the nation as Secretary of State, President of the Red Cross, and Secretary of Defense. Marshall is also noted for the European Recovery Program in which the United States gave tens of billions of dollars in economic support, starting in 1948, to help rebuild European economies following the devastation of World War II. The plan became known as 'The Marshall Plan.' His post war work earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in 1953. Marshall originally hailed from Pennsylvania; when he retired from military and public service, he and his wife settled in Pinehurst, N.C. The Fort Bragg headquarters of U.S. Army Forces Command is named Marshall Hall in honor of Gen. Marshall. Gen. Mark A. Milley, FORSCOM commanding general, Maj. Gen. Jimmie Jaye Wells, FORSCOM chief of staff, and Command Sgt. Maj. Scott C. Schroeder, FORSCOM command sergeant major, all attended the dedication ceremony.

A series of shots dedicated to the Dannee and Sam\Sanguine first so called “Night to Remember” something that Dannee indeed always to remember the first and only evening when that mysterious Sam challenged her into contest and his brew her so drunk that her memory of whole night was like erased… until recently when with some unexpected “help” she remembered everything…
Everything about their romantic rendezvous was perfect - the jokes, their travel to misty Grove, where Dannee in attempt to refresh jumped into waterfall and how Sam carried her back, gave her a new dress, then the dancing and the romantic atmosphere, when it was just two of them, two people enjoying themselves, free from responsibilities, doubts and fears at least for a while.
However those joking words of Sam about Dannee losing her dress to an uneven battle with the dirt, that kind compliment about her looking like a golden dragoness in her new scaled dress turned darker as his sympathy and tenderness vanished to savage desire, those moments he never spoke with her about of finally revealed… As his darker lustful side emerged with her immense fear what it might lead too… Dannee managed to soothe his fierce desire in other way then being defiled but for her it has been humiliation, then came the fear and almost despair when she realized she wasn't in Skyrim, but in Oblivion, at the mercy of the Daedric Prince, realizing that she truly didn't know who that mysterious Sam was and trusted him so easily but before she could further torment herself he found her.
He didn’t know what to say, she looked so lost and sad, such a contrast to him. It has been so long he felt himself so happy… she gave him such intense satisfaction he didn’t feel for years, like tidal wave, drowning out anything else in the world. It felt so raw and intimate and personal, even more intimate than if he had taken her. He should have been touching her too, take her to his home, to his bed, he thought guiltily, he should be offering her pleasure in return and giving her the comfort and touch she so desperately needs. But he was drunk and everything was happening all at once, the sensations so overwhelming and new that they destroyed any possibility of coherent thought at that time… But it wasn’t only physical satisfaction, she made him happy even by her company. He felt something coiled lazily deep inside him, something that’s just waiting to be given a chance, and here he is, giving it a chance. He’s letting someone in. But apparently Dannee had different opinion… He tried to comfort her until he realized it would no good, he still could make it up for her, make her smile again, make her really happy but first thing was to erase this whole evening from her mind, because it seems no matter what he will say will help her now, nothing but something like spell, that would not be strong enough to erase her entire memory of the night, but it would suffice in blurring it enough to make her second guess its truth, perhaps labeling it as just another unbidden fantasy without anything that may hurt her feelings…
One magic trick and Dannee found that she was at some new magical looking place with her friend, Sam who looked at her with something like affection, like he craves so much more than her touch and company, like he craves her more than anything else in the entire world…
“Why do you look at me like this, Sam?” The last thing she remembered how he brought her here to breathe a fresh air…
“It is just… you made me so happy, and you are so beautiful, dearie, body and soul.”
Pre Rup (Khmer: ប្រាសាទប្រែរូប) is a temple at Angkor, Cambodia, built as the state temple of Khmer king Rajendravarman and dedicated in 961 or early 962. It is a temple mountain of combined brick, laterite and sandstone construction.
The temple’s name is a comparatively modern one meaning "turn the body". This reflects the common belief among Cambodians that funerals were conducted at the temple, with the ashes of the body being ritually rotated in different directions as the service progressed.
Located just south of the East Baray, or eastern reservoir, Pre Rup is aligned on a north-south axis with the East Mebon temple, which is located on what was an artificial island in the baray. The East Mebon was also a creation of the reign of Rajendravarman. Pre Rup's extensive laterite and brick give it a pleasing reddish tone that is heightened by early morning and late afternoon sunlight. The temple has a square lay-out and two perimeter walls. The outer enclosure is a platform bounded by a laterite wall, 117 meters N-S by 127 meters E-W. A laterite causeway gives entry from the east; unfortunately, a modern road cuts across it. The four external gopuras are cross-shaped, having a central brick section (consisting of three rooms flanked by two independent passageways) and a sandstone vestibule on both sides. To either side inside the eastern gate is a group of three towers aligned north to south. One of the towers appears to have never been built or to have been dismantled later, however they are later additions, probably by Jayavarman V. Further ahead, through another gate, libraries lie to either side of the walkway on the second platform. Just before the entrance there is a stone "cistern", but scholars believe it was a basement for a Nandi bronze statue rather than being used for cremation ceremonies.[1]
There is also a series of long distinct galleries running along each side, a distinctive feature of 10th century architecture that would be substituted by a continuous gallery from Ta Keo onward.[2]
The final squared pyramid, measuring 50 m at its base, rises in three steep tiers a dozen metres in height to a 35 m square platform at the summit. The lowest tier is symmetrically surrounded by 12 small shrines. At the top, five towers are arranged in a quincunx, one at each corner of the square and one in the center. Deities carved as bas-reliefs stand guard at either side of the central tower’s eastern door; its other doors are false doors. The southwest tower once contained a statue of Lakshmi, the northwest tower a statue of Uma, the southeast tower a statue of Vishnu and the northeast tower a statue of Shiva. The last one has an inscription on doorjambs that dates from Jayavarman VI and is the only proof of his reign at Angkor
The Temple of Edfu is an ancient Egyptian temple located on the west bank of the Nile in the city of Edfu. The temple is dedicated to the falcon god Horus and was built in the Ptolemaic period
We stopped there on our Nile river cruise and spent a few hours there.
dedicated to Vishnu, this is the earliest and one of the best preserved of the Kajuraho temples. Note the subsidiary shrines to left and right (there are 4 for this temple, one at each corner of the raised platform terrace). Note also how the roof spires rise in succession from front to back; the tallest spire, or sikhara, is the exterior compliment to the interior's holy shrine or sanctum
Sunset out my back window. ~~~ I did not personally know Brooke Carol Wilberger, but she was kidnapped, raped and murdered in Benton County, Oregon, where I live, and tromp around all over taking pictures. It took almost 5 years for her admitted killer to say where he had left her remains. He did so just this past week. Brooke Wilberger became known and loved in our community. Such a tragedy, but she and her family are of very strong faith, and I feel sure will be a beacon for others. The police in Corvallis, Oregon asked, when this happened 5 years ago , that all concerned citizens report anything at all suspicious or seemingly out of place. Hundreds of us did just that.
I send condolences to her family, and Brooke, may you finally rest in peace.
The temple dedicated to the goddess Meenakshi (called Meenakshi Amman Temple) in the city of Madurai, in the state of Tamilnadu is the second largest temple in South India and arguably the best in architecture & decorations. The present temple was constructed by the Nayak King Tirumalai (1623-1655 A.D.) over the partially damaged older temple which dates from Before Christ era.
When nobody else will listen to you,
I will hear every word.
When nobody else will talk to you,
I will say it all.
When everybody else looks right through you,
I will look into your eyes with a smile.
When everybody else laughs at you,
I will remain by your side.
When others hurt you,
I, too, will feel the pain.
When noone else in this world looks up to you,
I will place you on a pedestal.
When you are hungry,
I will give you my last piece of bread.
When you are thirsty,
I will give you my last drop of water.
When you feel as though you are drowning,
I will swim out to save you.
When noone else seems to need you,
I will always love you.
When you feel as though you are being torn into pieces,
I will give you my heart.

"It takes nine months, the child is born. It takes few seconds to take that person's life. Can you imagine that?" Usman's father, Mohammad Afzal Chaudhry, far right, asked the crowd.

Black Friday On Record:
All City of Victoria councillors (Chandler, Coleman, Hunter, Lucas, Luton, Madoff, Thorton-Joe) except for Geoff Young voted to replace the JSB instead of repairing it. This occurred at a special meeting of the Governance and Priorities Committee (on which all councillors sit) on August 12, 2010.
Lyle Stafford's photo best exemplifies the quality of the two much-maligned, dedicated lanes for pedestrian and bicycle traffic (not to be confused with 'designated' lanes separated from vehicle traffic on roadways by a 100mm white, painted line on the road). Both dedicated lanes were lost with the demolition of this railway Xing.
