My card for the February Love & Lace Challenge.using this week's Unscripted Sketch.
I punched hearts and sponged the edges with ink to cover-up any of the white bits that show when punching thinner designer paper. The sentiment strip is cut from one of the pieces of paper and I finished with a Heart Flourish from Hero Arts.

St Peter, Yaxham, Norfolk
A grand round-towered church on the outskirts of Dereham. Thoroughly warm and welcoming, it is open every day. The 19th Century restoration was kind, and there are signs of its later considerable Anglo-catholic life, including a huge suspended rood which I think is probably the work of Laurence King. There is also a tabernacle set into the back of the altar, a rare survival in an Anglican church these days.
The Rector in the early years of the 19th Century was John Johnson, a great friend of the poet William Cowper for many years and the editor of his letters. Johnson's son, John Barham Johnson, was responsible for the spectacular rebuilding of the church at nearby Welborne.
Gellert has devoted the past four years to researching and photographing traditional healing rituals and medicines in South America. An exhibition of his work will be shown at the City Gallery at Waterfront Park November 15 – January 4, 2009. The artist works collaboratively with the healers to make photographs that capture and convey the healing experiences and environment. This exhibition and presentation are co-sponsored by the City of Charleston’s Office of Cultural Affairs, the Medical University of South Carolina, and the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art.

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. Mary died, after years of living in penitential seclusion.

dogs about town ...
Della is a cute 18-or so month old puppy dog. She's probably the most sweetest and well behaved canine in the world..
what dog doesnt bark?!?! for almost 6 hours we were with here.. not one peep out of her..
"The model husband, dad, and guide,
Your faimily close at hand;
God put a call upon your life
To help us take a stand.
So, faith cometh by hearing.
And hearing; the Word of God.
We'll listen, grow, and follow;
And walk where saints have trod.
With Spirit guiding may we be
Your help, as part, in pair.
Preach the Word to keep us strong.
We're bihind you, don't despair!
It's not often, that we take,
The time to say we care.
But, on this day, we made the time;
To say; we're glad you're there!"
-Becky Bourque-

KaEnvironment: Group devoted to preserving rare local habitat
Posted: 10/05/2012 10:55 AM
As it crosses into the northeast corner of Iroquois County, the gravel and sand road south from Leesville becomes one lane of sand with greenery in the middle.
It borders areas of black oak savanna that have been called the rarest habitat in Illinois and even "globally significant" recently by staff members of The Field Museum -- itself world class.
Woodland and prairie habitats along this road, 17000E, have been preserved by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, The Nature Conservancy and Friends of the Kankakee, whose co-founder and president waits for a reporter at the end of the road, in the far northeast corner of Iroquois County.
Marianne Hahn, of Homewood, and Friends are a grassroots group of about 100 members, about half in Illinois, half in Indiana.
Since 2000, they have been devoted to the preservation of natural habitat areas in the Kankakee River region, with most of their work in this remote area of Iroquois County and neighboring Pembroke Township of Kankakee County.
Biological inventories of plants, moths and butterflies, snakes, turtles, and birds in Kankakee sands areas have found populations of threatened and endangered species for the state-- and species of concern -- that are found nowhere else in Illinois, Hahn notes.
So far, Friends has preserved more than 200 acres of this habitat, with grants totaling a little more than $240,000 from the Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation and other fundraising.
At Kolar Savanna, 44 acres near the south end of this road, Hahn spreads a large plat map over the fender of her car, with many tiny land divisions colored yellow, magenta and white.
They're mostly pieces of the largely undeveloped Willow Estates rural subdivision, across Stateline Road from Indiana's massive Willow Sough Fish and Wildlife Area.
"There are over 700 subdivided properties," Hahn said. "We own over 200 of them."
They were sold as rural homesites, but most remained untouched.
Friends has a two-year plan to acquire 64 more lots totaling about 30 acres.

You know I'm just a fool who's willing
To sit around and wait for you
But Baby can't you see there's nothing else for me to do
I'm hopelessly devoted to you.

From spring to autumn 1891, Monet devoted himself to the treatment of a new subject, the only one he painted throughout this period: poplar trees. He produced a group of about 20 canvases depicting the trees planted on the edge of a marsh situated on the left bank of the Epte, two kilometres upstream from Giverny. The site had been put up for sale during the summer, and the plan was to cut down these trees. After the mayor had refused to grant a reprieve, Monet found himself forced to pay a sum of money to the timber merchant to stop the trees being felled before he had finished the series. Having set up in a boat, he made the most of the perspective effect offered by the line of poplars, which followed the winding course of the river upstream, forming a kind of large 慡? He was then able to form decorative compositions that were built around curved lines and counterbalanced by the verticals of the trunks. Monet painted several sub-series, reproducing the trees face-on and reflected in the river, but sometimes he reduced the motif to the simple vertical line of the trunks. With this new series, the painter repeated the approach he had undertaken the previous year with the Meules. The titles echo those he had chosen for that first series. The aim was identical in both cases: to depict the variations in light and seasons. The 慽nstantaneity?of these paintings is meant to convey the impression one feels when encountering the subject at a precise moment. The poplars series was the first to be exhibited without any other painting, as a complete entity in itself, when it was shown in the Durand-Ruel gallery in 1892.

This is a sim devoted to encouraging play, and game development in a virtual world. We seek to explore how an environment filled with interesting things, and a compelling back story can create a multi leveled game within itself. How can the players make a game within the game? How can the game grow beyond it's original scope?
This sim presents a fictional adventure environment with a hidden challenge for the visitors, who will explore a world influenced by forces unknown.
You, the visitor will be introduced to the story and the challenge through the scientific journal of Dr. Aubrey Wynn, which is discovered within an abandoned station surrounded by primordial vegetation. With clues from the journal, and other sources, visitors are guided to construct a device, that allows them to access the other part of the exhibit- the hidden world of the Sy. If they are very, very good, they get access to the bonus area, and win a the trophy and a place on the Honors Plaque. Information on how to be entered on the board is given to the winners once they get the trophy.
Concepts such as cultural absorption, indigenous species survival, shadow biospheres and mimetic mythology peek from around the prims in this build, but the purpose is to have fun, to take the ride, and come out on the other side slightly windblown, but smiling.
The link for the group that gave us the grant is here:

STAM - Stadsmuseum Gent - Ghent City Museum - the Story of Ghent
The museum idsplays the city's history and opened its doors on 9 October 2010.
With respect to the collection that is shown, the history of this museum goes back to 1833, the year in which the Oudheidkundig Museum van de Bijloke in Ghent was founded. In 1928 the museum was situated in the Bijloke abbey - this led to the name Bijlokemuseum.
With the Bijloke collection as base and the Bijloke abbey and Bijloke monastery as buildings, the STAM functions as a modern-day heritage forum. Parts from other collections were added to the Bijloke collection. In connection to the historical buildings a new entrance building was constructed, designed by Ghent's city architect Koen Van Nieuwenhuyse.
