In a kaleidoscope of colors, sound and movement, more than 6,000 faithful in the Phoenix Diocese gathered to honor Mary in the most anticipated Catholic event of the year, Rosary Sunday.
Under her title Mary, Help of Christians, the 35th annual celebration continued its traditional offerings of confession, adoration, benediction and recitation of the rosary.
The downtown Phoenix Convention Center opened its doors Oct. 10 to ethnically diverse members of the Body of Christ whose public prayers in different tongues paid homage to Mary, especially for her protection of the unborn.
Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted was greeted with a standing ovation from an enthusiastic crowd that filled the seats, as others searched for open spots.
“Today, we see how Mary is the mother of all of us,” Bishop Olmsted said in his bilingual address.
Auxilary Bishop Eduardo Nevares, recently back from a trip to Rome, delivered an apostolic blessing from Pope Benedict, which was received with a round of applause.
Christy O’Gara said she attended the event for the second year with her six children so they could “see all those that love Jesus.”
“Now, more than ever, we desire to be together as witnesses to the world,” O’Gara said.

Subtle Acts of Resistance through the Practice of Everyday Life
A dinner devoted to the work of Michel de Certeau [1999]
As a part of a lecture series entitled, The Mediated Image*, De Geuzen hosted a three course dinner devoted to the work of Michel de Certeau. During the meal, there were related presentations and visual interventions by De Certeau admirers Rob van Kranenburg and Mike Tyler.
Michel de Certeau has been an important figure in shifting modes of analysis away from the study of media as object or textual surface towards the research of how people use, interpret and reinvent media for their own purposes. As an ethnologist and historian, de Certeau refused to remain faithful to any singular specialised discipline. The theoretical framework from which he operated was impressively broad, traversing the lines between anthropology, sociology, philosophy, history, mysticism and literature. He radically questioned his own position within discursive practices by problematising the inevitable power relation that arises in studying a subject while simultaneously laying bare the numerous limitations of representation. Beyond the more self-reflexive aspects of his project, he examined how the weak attain power through subtle tactics of manipulation and play. According to de Certeau, suppressed voices emerge through the employment of guises, appropriation of media and creation of interruptions. As he points out with acuity in his book, The Practice of Everyday Life (1974) "Everyday life invents itself by poaching in countless ways on the property of others".
Rob van Kranenburg (1964) Worked and taught at Tilburg University as a research assistant after his studies in Language and Literature. Currently, he is working in Ghent developing and designing idiosyncratic and explorative online learning environments in the culture curriculum. As a writer he is part of the artscollective Alarrb.
Mike Tyler (Ventura, California, 1964) Artist / garden designer / film maker currently based in Amsterdam. His work has appeared in numerous exhibitions and festivals including: Kunsthalle Bern, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, and Kunstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin.
*The Mediated Image was a series of lectures and presentations programmed by De Geuzen looking at how images are constructed, interpreted, manipulated and received. Besides examining how images are made and displayed, the series explored key figures who have shaped contemporary media discourse, such as Guy Debord, Jean Baudrillard, Marshall McLuhan and Michel de Certeau.

I have devoted the entire summer to putting together a comprehensive video on the life history (including nesting behavior) of the eastern hognose here in Massachusetts . Despite the hard work and sometimes lack of sleep, it thus far has been rewarding and I am eager to share with those of you who love hognose snakes or want to learn something new about this peculiar reptile. It will be completed late August/early Sept. Stay tuned

King Croesus of Sardis built this large temple (300 x 160 ft), completing it around 300 BCE. Although originally dedicated to Artemis, the temple was also devoted to Zeus during a portion of its history. Just outside the entrance was an altar of Artemis much older than the temple, from as early as the 6th century BCE. In the Hellenistic period the altar was incorporated into a large stepped platform that still exists.
The catastrophic earthquake of 17 CE damaged the temple, but in about 150 CE it underwent a renovation. The project was sparked by Sardis' gaining the prestigous title of neokoros, "temple-warden." The neokoros status required Sardis to have a temple dedicated to the imperial family. The Temple of Artemis was thus divided into a double temple: one half for Artemis and the Empress Faustina and the other half for Zeus and Emperor Antoninus Pius (138-61).
Most of what remains today dates from the Roman renovation in the second century. Only two complete columns and a few partial ones still stand, but the temple remains an impressive site against the backdrop of the the remnants of the acropolis.

This is Zauber. A magnificent Rhodesian Ridgeback dog who is a real credit to his owners.
He is the biggest Ridgeback I have ever seen - yet he is gentle and obedient and more importantly he loves Ella.
They go on holiday together and travel in the back of the car like they were long lost friends.
Despite his huge size and immense power, I have never seen him be aggressive towards another dog.
Small, yappy dogs often bark and snap in his face and he merely lifts his head and walks off. He shows a complete lack of interest in them and is devoted to his owners.
His eyes appear to look right through you into your soul.
He is simply magnificent and a real credit to the breed.
He is very playful and whilst in his naughty mode, taught Ella how to open doors inside the house by putting her front paws on the handle and pressing down.
So now, Ella can simply go into any room she likes in our house - thanks to Zauber!!

Aninawe is a devoted Moslim and respected old man in Blitta (Gare). He was invited to the large meeting, set-up by the the canton chief of Blitta, for his extensive knowledge on the railroad. During his life he had worked for the Togolese post(al) service.
“The cities of Kpalime, Lome, Aneho, Atakpame / Agbonou and Blitta are very important for the Togolese railroad. The railroad was constructed by the German people, up to Agbonou Atakpame. After the first Worldwar the French continued the last part to Blitta (112 km) and finished in 1933. The first train arrived in Blitta in 1934. Back then it was a steamtrain, but later we had the trains running on diesel engines.”
“Why did the railroad stop in Blitta? and did not continue up North?”
“The Togolese Government asked the Germans to build the railroad up in the North, but the Germans replied there was no money available. When France arrived, they asked the same. They continued the railroad up to Blitta, but said there were no funds to arrive in the North, Dapaong.”
In 1990 the passenger train stopped, but continued to transport cement. In 1997 this was complemented with clinker of Badjeli, a village close to Blitta, a mineral that is required for the construction of the rail, buildings and arms. In 2005 the train stopped the transportation of cotton.”
Many people we spoke with suggest the reconstruction of the railroad. They’ve grown up with the idea of having a railroad and many social interaction was based around the Blitta trainstation:
“People were happy when they heard the sound of the train arriving. They left their farm to spot any acquaintances. Many women built their business around the arrival and departure of the trains. Many people from the North came looking in Blitta for the rail, it was very special. And many societies were affiliated with the railroad, for instance CIMTOGO [cement] and COTOCO [cotton]. But today the societies left and their rooms are left spoiled [see other photos].”
“Togo was the first country to have a railroad in the West Africa, but today it is only Burkina Faso were the railroad is still in use [Ouagadougou to Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire] It was so good for the Togolese!”
Long time devoted and accomplished painter of the female form, Henry Asencio’s Elegance yearns further to define the mystery and power of a woman’s physical presence. The female body in all of its delightful forms is beautiful and transcendent. That which lies within us slowly emanates to the surface creating a beauty unobtainable to the naked eye. One must “see” with the soul to understand the true nature of physical attraction. Academic painting can display what the eye sees but Asencio also has the ability to capture the essence of wonderment and grace in his paintings through his use of color and texture which combine to create an undulating river of sensuality. His work not only conveys naturalism but a spiritual beauty we all possess. Amidst a frantic sea of ruby red, hair tossed upon her head exposes the curves from her neck to her hips, capturing all that is revered as feminine and beautiful. Beneath the soft curves and voluptuous details of all Asencio’s portraits lies the artist’s ability to see beyond the physical and into the soul. So there she stands, a woman in a black dress radiating with sensual energy and as Maya Angelou’s poem alludes to, the enticing dynamics of every woman; add the sun of her smile, the grace of her style, her inner mystery and you will see... woman...phenomenal woman.

A new website devoted to Underwater Photography makes its first dive in the Sea of Web.
DomePort (www.domeport.com) was under development for more than a year and is quite different from the underwater photography sites you all know. Instead of focusing mainly on gear presentation and discussions DomePort is all about the photos! This finally creates a real underwater photography portal!
DomePort offers really wide range of functionalitis. Each user is able to create own portfolio organized in personal albums. Rich set of attributes could be added to each photo, facilitating not only their browsing but providing full info to the viewer as well.
The users can vote for and comment the images they like, placing the best photos on the main page.
The DomePort gear database is extremely rich! At the time of the site's debut the DomePort users can personalize their gear by selecting between 3726 cameras, 1107 lenses, 843 housings and 66 strobe models!
As a full featured portal, DomePort also provides news and articles, while its users can discuss whatever they want at the DomePort Forums.
And this is just the Ver. 1.0.0.0 set of functionalites! The designers are continuing to develop DomePort with the DomePort Challenges soon to be launched.
Whether DomePort would be able to finally fill the portal gap depends on you!

Cheers!
35th annual Rosary Sunday draws thousands devoted to Mary, holy rosary

In a kaleidoscope of colors, sound and movement, more than 6,000 faithful in the Phoenix Diocese gathered to honor Mary in the most anticipated Catholic event of the year, Rosary Sunday.
Under her title Mary, Help of Christians, the 35th annual celebration continued its traditional offerings of confession, adoration, benediction and recitation of the rosary.
The downtown Phoenix Convention Center opened its doors Oct. 10 to ethnically diverse members of the Body of Christ whose public prayers in different tongues paid homage to Mary, especially for her protection of the unborn.
Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted was greeted with a standing ovation from an enthusiastic crowd that filled the seats, as others searched for open spots.

In a kaleidoscope of colors, sound and movement, more than 6,000 faithful in the Phoenix Diocese gathered to honor Mary in the most anticipated Catholic event of the year, Rosary Sunday.
Under her title Mary, Help of Christians, the 35th annual celebration continued its traditional offerings of confession, adoration, benediction and recitation of the rosary.
The downtown Phoenix Convention Center opened its doors Oct. 10 to ethnically diverse members of the Body of Christ whose public prayers in different tongues paid homage to Mary, especially for her protection of the unborn.
Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted was greeted with a standing ovation from an enthusiastic crowd that filled the seats, as others searched for open spots.

On the 26th September I finally visited this museum. After seeing it many years living in the south of England I had never been to visit it. Even though I was in the Royal Navy myself. The Fleet Air Arm Museum RNAS Yeovilton,Ilchester, Somerset. BA22 8HT is devoted to the history of British naval aviation. It has an extensive collection of military and civilian aircraft, aero engines, models of aircraft and Royal Navy ships ( including aircraft carriers ), and paintings and drawings related to naval aviation. It is located on RNAS Yeovilton airfield, and the museum has viewing areas where visitors can watch military aircraft ( especially the helicopters ) take off and land. It is located 7 miles ( 11 km ) north of Yeovil, and 40 miles ( 64 km ) south of Bristol. The cafe area was a bit like it was detached from the rest of the museum and I found staff there quite hard work, I went in at 03.00pm and they said they had no hot food they were closing in 15 minutes! Even though the opening time on the website said ~ Please note our Restaurant will open everyday unless otherwise stated, ( there were no signs otherwise ) 0930-1700 for the duration of our summer opening hours. The staff on reception in the Museum were great, helpful also. Sadly after waiting so long to visit this place I found it all a little tired and lacking interest in the place like Haynes International Motor Museum I went to last week.
The history of the Royal Navy is preserved for the benefit of today's and future generations by the National Museum of the Royal Navy ( NMRN ) which includes four museums of the Royal Navy ( NMRN ) Portsmouth & HMS Victory, Royal Navy Submarine Museum, Fleet Air Arm Museum and the Royal Marines Museum. Together they tell the story of the Royal Navy - on the Sea, under the Sea, in the Air and on the Land.
As much an attraction as it is a museum, the Fleet Air Arm Museum is where Museum meets theatre. You’ll fly by helicopter to the replica flight deck of the aircraft carrier HMS ARK ROYAL where you‘ll see fighter aircraft and two enormous projection screens showing a Phantom interceptor fighter and a Buccaneer strike bomber. You’ll experience the thrills and sounds of a flight deck, and feel the wind in your hair so to speak and will even see a nuclear bomb! The Museum has the largest collection of Naval aircraft anywhere in Europe and the first British built Concorde which you can go on board and view the cockpit.

The Fleet Air Arm Museum offers a day out guaranteed to thrill the whole family. You’ll be up close and personal among Europe’s largest collection of Naval aircraft, plus you can step on board the first British Concorde and see the cockpit first hand. More than a museum, The Fleet Air Arm Museum is an exciting experience revealing the history of Naval aviation. Situated alongside Europe’s busiest military air station, you may even see military aircraft going through their training procedures.

The elaborate and exquisite ancient Santi Cosma e Damiano, a minor basilica devoted to Cosmas and Damian, two brothers who were reportedly doctors, martyrs and saints. The history of this church is one of the most fascinating in Rome. It is located in a very prominent location, opposite the Roman Forum in the historic rione Monte. It is actually comprised of two ancient Roman structures, one originating in the forum. For an extended period they formed a single church until the late 19th century when they were again separated. The primary structure is now accessed from an area of what once comprised the Temple of Peace, located on the southeast part of the Imperial Fora, now along the Via dei Fori Imperiali. It was where the famous marble plan, the Forma Urbis Romae, was once displayed. The entrance to the church at one point was located via the circular temple identified as the Temple of Romulus, whose actual identity and purpose is disputed. During the medieval era, however, the Roman forum became a neighborhood resembling the densely packed Subura of ancient Rome, which, along with flooding and possible landslides led to a gradual filling in of the area, resulting in the ground level rising so much that it required another entrance. The medieval neighborhood was cleared from the area in the 16th century but until that time the main door and entrance remained below ground level. Several other important churches also occupied former Roman structures in the Middle Ages, including Mamertine Prison, which became San Giuseppe dei Alegnami, and Sant'Adriano, the former Senate House. The most famous of these is probably the Colosseum itself: it was eventually christened Santa Maria della Pieta al Colosseo.
This church was founded in 527 when Theodoric the Great, the king of the Ostrogoths (acting as agent of the Emperor Justinian I who was residing at that point in Constantinople) and his daughter Amalasuntha donated two buildings to the church during the reign of Pope Felix IV. It was reportedly the first Christian church in that particular area, as much of the elite of Rome was still hostile to Christianity. It was not a titular church, but it was intended to be part of the church's charitable activities because of the association with the identical twin brother doctors. The pope united the two buildings and donated the complex to the brothers Cosmas and Damian, but also possibly to serve as a contrast to the ancient cult of Castor and Pollux, worshipped on the other side of the forum. The association with the two doctors was also something of a juxtaposition (and incorporation) of the tradition of the Asclepeion, as it was believed in the Middle Ages that an infirm person who slept overnight in the church could experience a vision which would lead to a cure.
The artwork is simply stunning. The decoration spans many periods, but the apse of the new church featured a mosaic representing the parousia of Christ. The church was further embellished by Pope Sergius I in the late 7th century and Pope Adrian I in the 8th century. Some have observed that the apse appears somewhat odd and even disproportional, as it is quite large for the still-ample room, but there was actually a height reduction of the structure in the restorations of the 17th century. On the bright side: one should actually be standing more than 20 feet below it, so it now provides a much closer view of the exquisite mosaic than actually intended. It features Christ at the parousia, or Second Coming at the End Time, set against an orange sky at dawn adorned in golden robes. He is holding a rolled scroll of the Torah. The Saints making an appearance are Peter and Paul, who are shown introducing Cosmas and Damian, depicted with martyrs' crowns. Pope Felix, to the far left, holds a model of the church. This figure was restored in the 17th century, and was thus altered under Pope Gregory XIII, but it was later restored. The other figure featured is another martyr, St. Theodore. The figures all stand in front of the Jordan river flanked by date palms, the left one also depicting a phoenix, the symbol of resurrection. The sheep represent the Lamb of God, accompanied by twelve others representing the Apostles. The Lamb appears standing on a hill overlooking Jerusalem on the left and Bethlehem on the right, from which flow the Twelve Rivers of Paradise.
In terms of its other features, the choir stalls are set against the curved wall. The frescoes on the walls and ceiling date to the 17th century, and are mostly anonymous works. The ceiling is made of carved and gilded wood, and it is also adorned with the crest of the Barberini family (Pope Urban VIII) which features bees. The high altar is Baroque, created by Domenico Castelli in 1637. It features a 12th-century icon of Our Lady as the altarpiece. The ceiling fresco was executed by Marco Montagna, and there is a paschal candlestick consisting of a twisted marble column to the right of the altar. There are also seven side chapels. This church is one of the most magnificent in Rome, and as it is located to the most popular area in the heart of the city it is also highly accessible and well worth a visit.

The downtown Phoenix Convention Center opened its doors Oct. 10 to ethnically diverse members of the Body of Christ whose public prayers in different tongues paid homage to Mary, especially for her protection of the unborn.
Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted was greeted with a standing ovation from an enthusiastic crowd that filled the seats, as others searched for open spots.
