The silk lining depicts the designs that were given to Toussaint by the angels and saints in his dreams and visions that would facilitate victory for his people. These symbols were a secret code to beat the enemy. The colors of the stitching and buttons symbolize the colors of the spirits, sent by God, to help Toussaint win the war for freedom.

It shows the difference when using a 38mm carburetor (blue) instead of the stock 36mm (red)...massive improvement up top but at the same time a drop in mid-power. It's right there where the HPP opens/closes so to me it was clear something needed to be done to the HPP exhaust system. That sudden drop in power is no good, right? That "bog" is right there when you enter the powerband...Riding such a bike requires a lot of clutch work to keep it on the pipe.... still fun for a capable rider though!
... between f/1.8 and f/1.2. Okay so they're not quite the same focal length, but that's a fat chunk of glass all the same.
Approximately 130 Soldiers, Family Members, Retirees and Civilian volunteers joined about 60 Korean volunteers Saturday morning for the first-ever Make A Difference Day in Korea at Deog Dong San park in Pyeongtaek.
USA Weekend Magazine created Make a Difference Day about 18 years ago as national day of helping others -- a celebration of neighbors helping neighbors, according to their website, www.usaweekend.com/diffday/aboutmadd.html. Make A Difference Day is an annual event that takes place on the fourth Saturday of every October.
The volunteers spent the morning picking up trash, cleaning out storm drains and ditches and performing beautification projects around the park.
Following the work session, volunteers enjoyed lunch and a traditional Korean dance performance by students from Shin Han High School.

Robert, first Lord Kirkcudbright, died in 1640, and the title devolved upon his nephew, Thomas. This nobleman was a zealous Presbyterian, and took a prominent part in the affairs of the Covenanters, with whose principles, from the commencement of their difference with Charles I, he identified himself. He raised a regiment and accompanied it into England to support Oliver Cromwell's Parliamentary army.
The execution of King Charles I brought about great changes in Scotland. The Estates (Scottish government), feeling indignant that their remonstrances on the King's behalf had been disregarded, passed an Act on 6th February 1649, proclaiming the decapitated monarch's son as King Charles II. War with Cromwell ensued.
Lord Kirkcudbright, who had switched his loyalty to the new king, was sent to ireland. On December 6th, his regiment was attacked by their former allies, the English Parliamentary forces and cut to pieces. Nothing daunted, Lord Kirkcudbriht returned to his native town where he at once set about raising another regiment, chiefly from among his own vassals and retainers and at his own expense. When they were ready, he returned to Ireland. Few, if any, of these men ever returned.
Lord Kirkcubright's generosity in raising and furnishing forces during the civil war, for which he received no remuneration and but scant thanks, impoverished both himself and his estate, leaving the whole district thoroughly drained both of men and money.
Writing from Kirkcudbright in August, 1650, Lady Derby, accompanying King Charles II, described her enforced stay in Kirkcudbright:
"I have been here fifteen days, suffering every imaginable inconvenience, being reduced to eat oaten bread, and some of us to lodge in the house of the chief person of this place, though I never saw anything so dirty. But this is nothing to the religion. The King behaves with wonderful prudence. He is obliged to listen continually to sermons against his father, blaming him for all the blood that was shed, and those which I have heard in this place were horrible, having nothing of devotion in them, nor explaining any point of religion, but being full of sedition, naming people by their names, and treating of everything with such ignorance and without the least respect or reverence that I am so scandalised that I do not think I could live with a quiet conscience among those Atheists."
When John, 3rd Lord Kirkcudbright died, he left by his wife Ann, daughter of Sir Robert Maxwell of Orchardton, a son, William, fourth Lord Kirkcudbright, who died under age in 1669. During the brief lifetime of this young lord the whole of the estate was seized by his father's creditors. The title descended to his cousin John.
Probably because of the estate's finances, John never assumed the title, but at his decease in 1721 his brother James, fifth Lord Kirkcudbright, took the title. In 1723 the fortunes of the family were at so low an ebb that Lord Kirkcudbright made a living by keeping a small ale house under the shadow of the baronial castle of his ancestors.
The 5th Lord died in 1730, leaving no male descendant, upon which the title devolved on William Maclellan of Borness, descendant of the brother of Sir William of Bombie, who fell at Flodden. This Lord Kirkcudbright exercised the business of glover in Edinburgh, and at the election of representative peers, which he invariably attended, he turned an honest penny by supplying his brother peers with gloves.
He died in 1762, and was succeeded by his son John, seventh Lord Kirkcudbright an officer in the army, who rose to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. He died in 1801, and was succeeded by his son Sholto Henry, eighth Lord; and he dying in 1827, the title devolved on his brother, Camden, ninth and last Lord Kirkcudbright.
Yes...I'm reposting this. The cause is worthwhile.
Also, a wise man suggested that I set up a PayPal account to accept monetary donations for this. He thinks a lot more people would pitch in.
Let me know if that's the case...and I will.
Thanks.
I collect new socks for the homeless.
Here's why.
One pair of clean socks can make a huge difference for a homeless person.
Just imagine being without socks during this time of year. With temperatures here in Pittsburgh hovering around zero, the cold is bitter even when we're bundled up.
Now think about walking around without socks.
But during any season, socks can mean so much.
In the summer, a pair of dirty socks starts to stink after a few days. As bacteria grows from constant sweating, so does harmful bacteria.
A clean pair of socks can stop all that.
Even more important, a clean pair of socks can prevent a variety of foot diseases that
can lead to costly emergency room visits that could end in the amputation of toes and even a foot.
Those ER treatments and any care afterwards can cost hundreds and thousands of dollars — money that will be tacked on to health care insurance premiums.
In the past, local Flickr people have been so generous. In fact, they've donated more than 1,000 pairs of new, clean socks for area homeless people.
That's why I'm hoping you can help again. Because with more than 2,000 homeless people in and around the city, the need for clean socks never goes away.
As usual, the clean socks will be turned over to Operation Safety Net and distributed by my longtime friend Mike Sallows.
Mike was homeless himself for more than a decade. And these days, he's on the streets every night tending to "his guys." Every Thursday night, whatever the weather, he makes his rounds with a couple Pitt med students who check on the health of the people they meet.
So, if you can pitch in with a bag of new, clean athletic socks, I'll pick them up and deliver them to Mike.
In the past, people have bought bags of "irregular" socks at places like TJ Maxx, Marshall's and Gabriels to buy them for about $3-$4 a bag. And those socks are perfectly fine.
If you're interested in helping, send me a Flickr e-mail.
Thanks.
PS: A writer from the Post -Gazette, a Pittsburgh newspaper, is working on a story about this. She was especially intrigued by the photography/Flickr aspect...even more so when I told her about how many people here donated socks. She is also going to works with a local Pittsburgh charity she's involved with to gather socks. It could be a really great turn out.
Concurring with Obama's request for new methods of interrogation of suspects complying with those outlined in the official U.S. Army Field Manual future
interrogations will be conducted using "best practices" of the latest scientific research. They will provide "full transparency" and also be done in FBI secret locations.
This decision placing the FBI in charge of the interrogations of terrorist suspects is a major reform in U.S. national security policy because previously everything was
handled by the CIA.
The terrorists of course won't see any real difference between the CIA and FBI interrogation methods when they are on the "hot seat".
LORRAGH ABBEY.
THIS is the Convent of Saint Peter the Martyr, a Priory of the Dominican Order, and is not an Abbey at all!
PRIORY, FRIARY, MONASTERY and ABBEY....
A question that arises quite often is; what is the difference between a priory and a friary?
PRIORY is the name given to houses that have a Prior as their chief official and a FRIARY is a house where any mendicant order, Franciscan, Dominican, Carmelite or Augustinian lives. The superior of a Franciscan community is referred to as the Guardian so Franciscan Friaries are never Priories. Dominican and Augustinian friaries are referred to as Priories. Carmelite communities are often known locally as Monasteries but they are priories.
Abbeys are a different thing altogether and even though most of the ruins are referred to as ABBEY such as Portumna Abbey, Sligo Abbey or Lorrha Abbey etc., they are in fact Priories and, even more specifically, they are correctly called CONVENTS.
Priory and Friary are popular names rather than official ones. Abbey is incorrectly given to most religious ruins in Ireland. This is wrong! Most of the ruins are of friaries and many of these friaries would have also been priories but never abbeys or monasteries. The monastic ruins of Jerpoint, Gowran and Dunbrody were all Abbeys because they were monastic houses with an Abbot at their head. Portumna started as an Abbey of the Cistercian Order and then transferred to being a Convent of the Dominican Order. Sligo, Roscommon, Mullingar and many other Abbeys were Priories. Athenry Abbey is often referred to as the Dominican Priory – this latter term is more accurate than Athenry Abbey would be.
The life in a priory would be very different from the life in an abbey. Priories serve as bases from which the friars would move out and work where they were needed. Abbeys were monasteries and were independent societies within themselves. Monks have officially withdrawn from the world into a life of prayer. Apart from praying the monks grew their own food, spun their own wool, carved their own stone etc... friars depend on their work among the people and the donations they receive for that work. Hence the name mendicant for friars, a French word for beggars!
THIS abbey, which is situated in the barony of Lower Ormond, in the county Tipperary, and three miles from the Shannon where it empties itself into Lough Derg, was founded in 1269. According to the Book of Friars Preachers of Athenry it was founded by Walter de Burgh, earl of Ulster, whose son, Richard, the Red Earl, is supposed to have founded Carlingford Abbey.
In 1301, a provincial chapter was held here.
1552. June 2. Lease to John Hogan, clerk, late prior of Larrowe, in Ormond [barony of Lower Ormond], of the site of the priory of Canons of St. Augustine, in Ormond, etc., and the site of the monastery of friars of St. Dominick's Order in Larrowe, and land called Freres Rathe, with its tithes in the said town. To hold for twenty-one years, in full recompense of his pension [as abbot of a dissolved monastery], at the rent of 8 during lessee's life, and 13 2S. 8d. after his death. Plants, Edward VI.
In 1629, we find from the Provincial's records that there were two fathers there and one laybrother.
Dr. Burke, writing in 1756, says that the church and the greater portion of the conventual buildings were still erect. He adds that there were old people living in the locality who still remembered the provincial chapter of 1688, in the reign of James II., and testified that they saw about one hundred and fifty friars there in their white habits. Judging from the acts of that chapter, which are still extant and other evidence, there were not probably half that number present. At this chapter, public theses of philosophy and theology were defended, the rarity of which in Ireland, at that or any other period, brought together a great multitude of people.
In 1756, there were two fathers living there, and in 1767, only one,who was parish priest. The last of the fathers connected with this community, Father Michael V. Donoghoe, died between 1789 and 1793.
This richly illuminated fourteenth-century German homilary is particularly interesting for its rare bifolium of drawings bound in at the front of the book. The headgear worn by the nuns in the drawings is characteristic of Cistercensian and Premostratensian nuns in northern Germany as early as circa 1320. Evidence for dating and localization is also found in the manuscript's relationship with a second homilary in the Bodleian Library (Oxford, Bodleian Library, Ms. Douce 185). Despite minor codicological differences--page layout, textblock dimensions, and ruling--it seems likely that the two homilaries were composed as a set in one scriptorium. The drawings at the beginning of the Walters manuscript were inspired by miniatures within the book and are very similar to the style of Master of Douce 185, recently identified as a collaborator of the Willehalm Master. Although the Walters homilary lacks internal evidence for localization, it can be attributed to the lower Rhine on the basis of general affinities between work of this region and English art. The Walters homilary is stylistically close to the small ivory book illustrated with fourteen paintings of the Passion in the Victoria and Albert Museum (London, Victoria and Albert Museum, inv. no.11-1872), which has Westphalian and north German characteristics. Palette, figural drawings, the use of checkered spandrels, large ivy-leaf terminals, and ape marginalia in the Walters homilary are also close to fragments of an antiphonary from Westphalia scattered in German collections (Düsseldorf, Universitätsbibliothek, Ms. D. 37a, b, c and Hamm, Städtisches Gustav-Lübcke-Museum, Mss 5474-5476). A second group of stylistically related manuscripts can be found in a two-volume antiphonary from the Dominican nunnery of Paradise near Soest (Düsseldorf, Universitätsbibliothek, Mss. D.7 and D.9).

Actually no just drunken racism. The drunk with the tin whistle was making a nuisance of himself by playing whatever note he could get out of the tin whistle to annoy the busker.
The busker who is well established and not a bad musician, was rightly getting annoyed. I stopped to take a couple of photos but when i heard the drunk come out with the usual "go back to your own country" i told him to feck up and leave the fella alone.
He then threatened the busker with the RA!
But for having maah boy in toe i dare say i would have been alot more vocal to the idiot. (He heard enough from me as it was)
5 hours later and i saw the drunk and drinking buddy fast asleep on a bench on Donegall Place

WSSU has taught me to take the road least traveled and that has made all the difference since.
"‘Sweet Temptation’ was hand formed by my three young children who already display individual differences in the ability to resist temptation (demonstrated by the varying number of sweets consumed during the making of this image!).
The ability to exhibit self-control in an environment abundant with temptation may be a key factor in preventing over eating and obesity, with tendencies toward impulsivity and immediacy making this very difficult for some people.
Discovering how to measure the exact form of impulsivity that underlies over eating can inform us of the best strategies to help currently over-weight people enhance self-control, and focus preventative measures so that they can target vulnerable individuals at a young age.
My research not only excites me intellectually but is vital to me as a parent responsible for the long term health of my children."
A chence meeting with a warden deep in an ancient beech wood revealed how to access the church, she even showed me which way out of the wood to emerge nearest the church.
Quits some difference to my last visit, on a cold a dreary February day last year. This time sprng had fully sprung, the churchyard fill of new growth and the air full of bird song.

Hidden down narrow lanes this surprising church offers much to the churchcrawler. Norman in origin but thirteenth century in form, the piers of both arcades have surprisingly detailed capitals. The rood screen still divides nave and chancel, though the coving and much of the rest is replacement. Its upper and lower doorways survive, the lower one having its original medieval hinges. The font is thirteenth century but at some time has had new piers – old photos show it with a solid base. The north tower dates from the 20th century and was designed by Bensted of Maidstone – a gothic fantasy if ever there was one compared to the plain structure it enhanced. A ledger slab in the chancel commemorates a senior lawyer at the New Inns of Court and describes him as ` ancient ` - not in age but in seniority!

COMMONLY called Starchfield, adjoins to the parish of Easling south-eastward. It is called in Domesday, Stanefelle, which is the same as Stonefield, a name well adapted to the flinty soil of it.
THE PARISH is an unfrequented and obscure place, situated in a wild and dreary country, near the summit of the chalk hills, just above Charing, its southern boundary. It lies on high ground, exceedingly bleak, and exposed to north and north-east winds. The land in it is in general a red cludgy earth, of very stiff tillage, very barren, wet and flinty, and the inhabitants, as well as the country, are equally poor. It has continued hill and dale in it, the greater part of it is coppice wood, which is mostly beech and oak, usually felled at sixteen and eighteen years growth, and even then from its sort, and its out of the way distance from markets, is not of any great worth; what village there is stands round Starchfield-green, lying near the summit of the hill, on the road to Charing, at the south-west part of the parish, the church in the opposite part of it, and the parsonage midway between them. Near the north-east boundary of the parish, next to Throwley, is an estate called Holborne, but its proper name is Holbean, belonging to St. Bartholomew's hospital, in London; it is said formerly to have belonged to the north chantry of this church of Starchfield.
THIS PLACE, at the time of the taking of the general survey of Domesday, in 1080, was part of the possessions of Odo, bishop of Baieux, under the general title of whose lands it is thus described in it:
The same Adam (de Port) holds of the bishop Stanefelle. It was taxed at two sulings. The arable land is four carucates. In demesne there is one carucate, and ten villeins, having two carucates.There is a church,and six servants,and two acres of meadow.Wood for the pannage of sixty hogs.In the time of king Edward the Confessor it was worth sixty shillings, and afterwards forty shillings,now one hundred shillings,Turgis held it of earl Godwin.
On the bishop of Baieux's disgrace, about four years afterwards, this, among the rest of his possessions, came into the hands of the crown, so that Adam de Port before-mentioned, became the king's immediate tenant of it, of whose heirs it was again held afterwards by Arnulf Kade, who gave this manor, with that of Ore and its appurtenances, to the knights hospitallers, and it was assigned by them to the jurisdiction of their preceptory at Swingfield.
This manor continued part of their possessions till the general dissolution of their hospital, in the 32d year of Henry VIII. After which this manor did not remain long in the hands of the crown, for the king, in his 36th year, granted it to Sir Anthony St. Leger and his heirs male, to hold in capite by knight's service, who by the act of the 2d and 3d of Edward VI. procured his lands in this county to be disgavelled. After which, Edward VI. in his 4th year, made a grant of this manor to him and his heirs, to hold by the like service. (fn. 1) He immediately afterwards passed it away by sale to Sir Anthony Aucher, of Bishopsborne, whose son Sir Anthony Aucher, about the beginning of king James I.'s reign, sold it to Salter, whose descendant Sir Nicholas Salter, possessed it at the restoration of Charles II. They bore for their arms, Gules, ten billets, four, three, two, and one, a bordure engrailed, argent, charged with sixteen burts and torteauxes, alternately. His son Nicholas Salter, esq. of Stoke Poges, in Buckinghamshire, died in the reign of king William and queen Mary, leaving one son John, who was of London, surgeon, and three daughters, towards the raising of whose portions, he by his will ordered this manor to be sold, which it accordingly was, in 1699, to Mr. Richard Webbe, of Eleham; he, in 1711, after some controversies at law for the possession of it, alienated all his right and title to it to the trustees, for the periormance of the will of dame Sarah Barrett, widow of Sir Paul Barrett, serjeant-at-law, who had died in the beginning of that year.
She was the only daughter and heir of Sir George Ent, M. D. of London, and president of the college of physicians, and widow of Francis Head, esq. eldest son of Sir Richard Head, bart. who died in his father's life-time. She had by her first husband one son, Sir Francis Head, bart. of and a daughter Sarah, married to John Lynch, esq. of Groves, father of John Lynch, D D. dean of Canterbury, who left issue Sir William Lynch, K. B. and John Lynch, LL. D. archdeacon and prebendary of Canterbury.
Lady Barrett, by the trusts of her will, devised this manor to her male issue by her first husband in tail male, remainder to the issue of Sarah her daughter by the same husband in like tail, remainder to her several daughters and their heirs in fee; by virtue of which limitation, her grandson Sir Francis Head, bart. at length succeeded to it, and son his death in 1768, without male issue, his next brother Sir John Head, bart. and archdeacon of Canterbury, became possessed of it, and died s. p. in 1769, leaving his widow lady Jane Head, sister of Dr. William Geekie, prebendary of Canterbury, surviving, on whom he had settled this manor in jointure; she died in 1780, on which the property of it, under the above will, became vested in lady Barrett's next heir male Sir William Lynch, K.B. of Grove, who was her great-grandson, being the eldest son of John Lynch, D. D. dean of Canterbury, the son of John Lynch, esq. by Sarah his wife, her daughter by Francis Head, esq. who, to bar all further remainders, with his brother Dr. John Lynch, suffered a recovery of this manor, and died in 1785, s. p. After which it was alienated to the Rev. Wanley Sawbridge, who dying unmarried and interstate in 1796, it came to his two nephews and heirs-at-law, Samuel-Elias and Wanley Sawbridge, esqrs. who are the present possessors of it. A court baron is held for this manor.
DARBIES-COURT, is a manor situated in the northwest part of this parish, which took its name from a family who resided at it, and were of the rank of gentlemen in very early times, for in the antient registers and rolls of Kentish gentry, their coat armour is thus described, Party, per chevron embattled, or, and azure, three eagles counterchanged. In the 20th year of king Edward III. Sara de Darbye paid aid for lands here, which William de Darbie and the heirs of Thomas Franklyn held before in Winsfield, of Reginald de Cornhill, by knight's service; and there is a hamlet and valley adjoining to Darbies-court, once part of it, called at this time Wingfield, and Wingfield valley. Of this family was John Darbie, who was alderman of London, and sheriff in 1445, anno 24 Henry VI. who built the south isle of St. Dionis Backchurch, in that city, and was otherwise a good benefactor to it; in memory of which, the above-mentioned coat of arms was put up in the windows of it. (fn. 2)
But the manor of Darbies court was alienated by one of that family, in the beginning of the reign of Henry IV. to Sir Ralph St. Leger, of Otterden, who died in the 10th year of that reign, leaving a daughter Joane, then the wife of Henry Aucher, esq. of Newenden, who entitled her husband to the possession of it. In whose descendants this manor continued till the reign of queen Elizabeth, when it was alienated to Sir Michael Sondes, then of Eastry, who was the second son of Sir Anthony Sondes, of Throwley, and on his elder brother Sir Thomas Sondes's death, in 1592, without male issue, succeeded him in his seat at Throwley, as well as the rest of his intailed estates in this county. He afterwards resided at Throwley, where he died in 1617, anno 16 James I. Since which this manor has descended, in like manner as Throwley and Lees-court, in Sheldwich, both which the reader will find described in the future part of this volume down to the right hon. Lewis-Thomas, lord Sondes, the present possessor of it. A court baron is held for this manor.
Charities.
ROGER PAYNE, ESQ. late of Otterden, by his will in 1706, gave 20l. chargeable on his estate at Otterden, to poor housekeepers of this parish; which is placed out at interest at 4l. per cent. the yearly distribution of it being vested in the minister, churchwardens, and overseers.
The poor constantly relieved are about thirty; casually thirty-five.
This PARISH is within the ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION of the diocese of Canterbury, and deanry of Ospringe.
The church, which stands near the centre of the parish, is dedicated to St. Mary. It is built in the form of a cross; the steeple stands in the middle of the south side. In the north wall of the north chancel is an antient tomb, with the effigies of a man in armour lying at length on it. In the east window are these coats of arms, Sable, a chevron gules, between three clothworkers handles, or; another, the coat broke, impaling, Quarterly, azure and argent, per fess indented, surmounted by a battune, or, and azure.
The church of Ore was antiently accounted as a chapel to this of Stalisfield, but it has been long since separated, and become a distinct church independent of it.
The church of Stalisfield belonged to the priory of St. Gregory, in Canterbury, perhaps part of its original endowment by archbishop Lansranc, in the reign of the Conqueror, and it was confirmed to it, among the rest of its possessions, by archbishop Hubert, about the reign of Richard I. (fn. 3)
In the 8th year of Richard II. it was become appropriated to the above-mentioned priory, and a vicarage endowed in it, the former being then valued at twelve pounds, and the latter at four pounds, on the taxation of them.
The church, with the advowson of the vicarage, remained part of the possessions of the priory till the dissolution of it in the reign of Henry VIII. when they came into the hands of the crown, where they remained but a small time, for an act passed that year to enable the king and the archbishop of Canterbury to exchange the scite of the late dissolved priory of St. Radigund, near Dover, with all its possessions, lately given by the king to the archbishop for the scite of the late dissolved priory of St. Gregory, and all its possessions, excepting the manor of Howfield, in Chartham.
This church becoming thus part of the revenues of the see of Canterbury, was demised by the archbishop, among the rest of the revenues of the priory, in one grands beneficial lease, in which, all advowsons and nominations of churches and chapels were excepted, and it has been continued under the same kind of demise from time to time ever since, renewable in like manner as such leases usually are.
¶Philip, earl of Chesterfield, was lessee of this parsonage as part of the above premises, as heir to the Wottons, after whose death in 1773, the lease was sold by his executors to George Gipps, esq. of Canterbury, who is the present lessee under the archbishop for the parsonage of Stalisfield, among the rest of the possessions of the priory of St. Gregory, but SamuelElias and Wanley Sawbridge, esqrs. as heirs of their uncle the Rev. Wanley Sawbridge, late vicar of this parish, are the occupiers of it, at a yearly reserved rent under him. The parsonage consists of a house, buildings, yard, and small orchard, ninety-four acres of land, and nine acres of wood, let together with the tithes of corn, at 75l. per annum; besides which, there are sixteen acres of woodland more in the hands of the lessee of the parsonage, worth 3l. 10s. per annum. It pays 7s. 6d. procurations to the archdeacon, and 6s. 4d. to the archbishop at his visitations.
The vicarage of this church appears to have been endowed before the 8th of Richard II. by the taxation then made of it. It is valued in the king's books at 5l. 6s. 8d. and the yearly tenths at 10s. 8d. and is now of the yearly certified value of 33l. 18s. 3d. In 1587 there were sixty-one communicants here. In 1640 it was valued at only 35l. and the communicants were the like number.
Archbishop Juxon, by indenture anno 13 king Charles II. and by another anno 28 of that reign, augmented it with 25l. per annum, to be paid by the lessee of the great tithes. The archbishop continues patron of this vicarage.
THERE WAS a portion of tithes in this parish, of the value of ten shillings, which was given soon after the conquest to the priory of St. Andrew, in Rochester, by Humphry Canute; and this gift was afterwards confirmed by D. de Monci, his descendant, to be holden in like manner as the same was held of his ancestors; and it was likewise confirmed to it by the archbishops Richard, Baldwin, and Hubert.

What a difference a week makes! The baby ferns are all grown up. The forest is green! I'm still waiting for the wild flowers
I don't know the difference between a raven and a crow. I think that are both neat birds with great personalities. I stopped to watch the water birds at the wildlife area and two ravens(?) flew over...both landed on the stop signs.
I straightened this one a bit in Picnik. Actually it was pretty straight to begin with but the sign was crooked and I thought it looked better with a straight sign and crooked horizon. LOL! No Photoshop or other editing though.
Update: I went to google to try and settle this one....here's a very funny link about how to tell if it's a raven or a crow. I'm leaning toward crow now.

Sun is back, week-end is here and holidays are coming. And I chose this moment to have a sprain at my left ankle. I'll now have plenty of time to take photos ... but only inside :-(
I haven't been writing as much here in this little description area, I know. I've been trying to blog more. I hope you have been joining me there. But I'd like to give you a few words with this photo.
A few months ago, I took a picture in the same spot as the photo above. I mean, I've taken a lot of photos in this same spot, but there's one in particular. If you look in my self-portrait set, you'll find it. It's one of the most honest and raw photos i've ever taken. Not just of myself, but of anyone. I'm proud of it but it's hard for me to look at, because I can see exactly what I wanted to capture: the way I felt. It was, as I later wrote, pouring out my eyes.
You may notice a different look in the shot here. You may know what it is. You may guess. You may not care. Any of those are fine with me.
I will just say this: Life brings a lot of bad sometimes. Not because we deserve it. We can hope for good all we want, for the bad to be gone. That won't change things. All we can do is work through the bad, wait it out, do the best we can.
And sometimes life brings good. Not because we deserve it. We can wish for more of it, but why? Instead, we should grab a hold of what we get and celebrate the hell out of it.
These days, I'm celebrating. What a difference a few months can make. You have no idea.
Just goes to show, one person or petal can make a difference! Seen at St. Matthew's Church in Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada. (10-09-22-5264)
