A Passion for Pastry
The Queen of Hearts
Devoted to tarts,
She eats them every day.
She dreams of sweets
And delicate treats
They make her heart sashay.
She spends her days
On her velveteen chaise
Cake after cake she'll devour
A pie to her lips
As her heartbeat skips
When passion overrules willpower.
Introducing Charlotte Russe, the Queen of Hearts. She's a sweet little royal with a rather impressive weakness for sweets and other tasty treats. Puddings, pies, tarts and truffles. She can't get enough. She keeps her servants hopping. Her discerning taste allows only the sweetest, most sublime of morsels to pass her lips. Spending her days lolling about on her heart-shaped pink velvet loveseat, silver tongs in one hand for daintily selecting pastries from her silver tray, she rules over her kingdom with her stunning bejeweled scepter in the other hand. Besides being royal, beautiful, and possessing impeccable tastebuds, she possesses a genetic flaw passed on from her mother, the former Queen of Hearts, Charlotte Royale. The more sweets she eats, the plumper her lips seem to get. It's true! Her figure is flawless. She won't gain a pound. But her lips, pudding filled and sumptuous as they are, just get plumper and plumper as she snacks. We think it's the dollops of whipped cream she attaches to every bite. Whatever the case, she's a lovely girl; the perfect package really. Her jewels are divine, her dress simply dazzling. She is a perfect work of art idling her days on her pillow-topped lounger. She's a queen, indeed. We hope you will love her as much as we do.
The Queen of Hearts is the flagship doll for a collaboration project between jeweler Amy Taylor and artist Cindy Sowers. We are calling our project Sweet Temptations. Charlotte is the first doll in our collaboration, with the hope that this is just the beginning. We both love Blythe. We both love fine things. We are excited to show you this OOAK piece.

The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, known commonly as the Egyptian Museum or Museum of Cairo, in Cairo, Egypt, is home to an extensive collection of ancient Egyptian antiquities. It has 120,000 items, with a representative amount on display, the remainder in storerooms.
The museum’s exhibits span from the beginning of the Old Kingdom of Ancient Egypt (approximately 2700 BC) through the Greco-Roman period.The building consists of two floors. On the ground floor, you can follow the history of Egypt from the Old Kingdom up through the Greco-Roman period by turning left at the entrance and looping around the museum. This provides a good background for most of Egypt’s ancient history.
Upstairs the museum is organized thematically with a large portion of the area taken up the exhibit of the contents of Tutankhamun’s tomb, including his famous funerary mask. Also upstairs is the room dedicated to the beautiful jewelry discovered in the Royal Tombs of Tanis. Another highlight of the museum, the Royal Mummy Room, requires the purchase of a separate ticket. Inside you can see the mummies of some of Egypt’s most famous pharaohs, including Ramesses II, Seti I, and Egypt’s only queen, Hatshepsut.
The museum has so much to offer that it can be overwhelming. It suffers from the fact that much of the contents have not been relabeled or reorganized since they were first arranged in their cases over a century ago. The result is that some sections provide very little context for the artifacts and labels are shown in a variety of languages- French, English, Greek, German, and Arabic. The difficulty of navigating the exhibits is a common complaint by visitors and a good reason to have a guide with you.
New Grand Egyptian Museum: At the edge of the ancient pyramids of Giza, some 5,000 construction workers labor around the clock to finish the long-awaited Grand Egyptian Museum. Expected to open by the end of this year, the 5.2-million-square-foot structure will become the world's largest museum devoted to a single civilization. Costing more than $1 billion, the museum will re-house and restore some of the country's most precious relics. Its expansive, glass-fronted building offers sweeping panoramas of the Giza plateau and Great Pyramids, which stand just two kilometers away.

The Sacro Monte di Arona, devoted to Charles Borromeo, is part of the Sacri Monti built in the 16th and 17th centuries. It is located in the territory of the town of Arona, province of Novara, region of Piedmont, Italy.
Around 1610 (when Charles Borromeo was canonized) father Marco Aurelio Grattarola had the idea of building a Sacro Monte devoted to Saint Charles on a hill behind his native town. The work was intended to celebrate the archbishop of Milan in the territory of his family.
The greatness of the figure inspired the idea of a huge statue visible from the opposite side of the Lake Maggiore. The initiative received the support of Federico Borromeo, who succeeded the cousin as archbishop of Milan.
The architect Francesco Maria Richini was charged with the project. He proposed an ambitious project, only partially realised. Starting with a triumphal arch, three paths should have started, each one with five chapels illustrating the life of Saint Charles and his spirituality.
In July 1614 Federico Borromeo celebrated the start of the construction. One of the first buildings to be completed was the church, designed by Richini as a central plan church.
Only a few chapels were built. Today only three remain, but without the decorations. For the realisation of the statues artists involved in the construction of the Sacro Monte di Varallo came.
The death of father Grattarola in 1615, the plague of 1629-1631 and the death of Federico Borromeo in 1631 interrupted the works. Only in 1692, the Borromeo family started again the construction. The new project, made by the architect Carlo Fontana, was far more modest than the original.
The sanctuary was completed only in 1725 with the building of the roof. Today over the main altar there is a painting by Giulio Cesare Procaccini; behind the altar has been reconstructed the original room of Saint Charles with the furniture coming from the Rocca Borromea nearby.
In front of the church, on the opposite side of the square, is " Saint Charles' seminary". From the square, a stairway takes you to the colossal statue of Saint Charles. The statue's design was made by Giovanni Battista Crespi, called il Cerano.
The statue, 28 m in height, commonly called Sancarlone, was realised in 1698. It is an empty structure made of wrought copper. It is possible to climb up to the head thanks to an inner stairway. Only the Statue of Liberty is a taller metal statue.

a lot of my life has been devoted to trying to find love - something that everyone wants desperately to find. I have spent a lot of my time focusing on guys and putting my mindset on when I would find the one I knew I was going to spend the rest of my life with. I had completely put aside what God was telling me to do - even when I had prayed for guidance. I was so concerned about being alone in life that I would fall apart any time my heart was broken and feel that there was no way to escape the darkness that seemed to cover me.
I am finally realizing where I have gone wrong and what I need to do in order to push my past aside and live my life for Christ. I am realizing just how much I put my own desires before God's and I need to put the desires of the world behind me and focus on His Will for me.
So, I am alright with being single, with having this time alone to build my relationship with God. And, just maybe, when I am ready - He will put the man I will marry in my life and we will both run to Christ together with love, faith, and joy.

This window is devoted to the story of St Mary Magdalene, but the legendary version which was widely known in the Middle Ages. It arose from a sermon of St Gregory the Great preached on 21st September 591 on the passage Luke 7:36-50 in which Jesus is at dinner in a Pharisees' house when a sinful women comes in, anoints his feet with ointment and wipes them with her hair. Gregory identified this woman with Mary of Bethany, sister of Martha and Lazarus and also with Mary Magdalene from whom Jesus driven out seven devils. Thus Mary Magdalene became for the Middle Ages a symbol of penitence and also of the contemplative life (Mary of Bethany). The legend was further developed at Vezelay (which claimed to possess the relics of Mary Magdalene) to claim that Mary and a number of other of Christ's disciples were, as a result of persecution, set adrift in a rudderless boat and washed up in Provence at Marseilles where Maximin, one of their number, became bishop. Maryt died, after years of living in penitential seclusion.

devoted friends, they disappear.
i'm sorry about the phone call and needing you.
some decisions you don't make, i guess it's like breathing and not wanting to.
there are some things that you can't fake...
i guess that it is typical to cling to memories you'll never get back again.
and to sort through old photographs of a summer long ago or a friend that you used to know.
and there, below his frozen face you wrote the name and that ancient date and you can't believe he is really gone.
when all that's left is a fucking song.
some things just can't wait.

I devoted most of my time taking pictures of babies, and completely ignoring this full grown male right next to them. A couple of moments later, I realized he was putting on a great show for the kids (who were amused to see monkeys) and other people who were taking his pictures. He lied down, and all I had to do was to wait for him to look straight at me.
Friendly, dedicated, loyal, and devoted are how I would describe Sensei Manuel Nunez. He's been an integral part of helping my son Ben (the one on the right behind him) grow both mentally and physically.
When Ben started going to his class, I really didn't know what to expect. I watched how he led his students with firmness and steadiness. At first I thought he was strict. But now, after almost 4 years of knowing him, it's discipline and respect that he's instilling in them.
Because of his steady hand the students truly respect him. I've seen kids that were really difficult to handle at first become very calm when he began to teach them.
With the world becoming more difficult to live in, and the influences our kids are being exposed to, it's nice to know that there are people like him that are there to help right the ship and build a strong foundation for our children.
Like the saying goes, 'It takes a village to raise a child' and he's one of the people in my village.
Devoted to the work of Ingebrigt Vik (1867-1927), one of Norway's greatest sculptors. The collection consists of about one hundred sculptures bequeathed by Vik to Øystese, his native village. The building was originally designed by Torgeir Alvsaker (1875-1971) and opened in 1934. It has since been modified and expanded a couple of times.
