The Vanity of Small Differences
An exhibition by Turner-Prize-winning, Grayson Perry, one of the UK’s best-known artists,
The series of six large and exuberant tapestries are inspired by 18th-century painter William Hogarth’s A Rake’s Progress.

Grayson created the tapestries after his 2012 Channel 4 TV series, All in the Best Possible Taste with Grayson Perry, which journeyed through Sunderland, Tunbridge Wells and The Cotswolds to explore the British fascination with class and what is – or isn’t – deemed good taste. The artist wove the characters, incidents and objects encountered along the way into his tapestries, which are now in the Arts Council Collection.
The tapestries hang in four of the mansion’s State Rooms.

xpulsion from Number 8 Eden Close
by Grayson Perry
2012
Tim is at university studying computer science and is going steady with a nice girl from Tunbridge Wells. To the left, we see Tim's mother and stepfather, who now live on a private development and own a luxury car. She hoovers the AstroTurf lawn, he returns from a game of golf. There has been an argument and Tim and his girlfriend are leaving. They pass through a rainbow, while Jamie Oliver, the god of social mobility, looks down. They are guilty of a sin, just like Adam and Eve in Masaccio's The Expulsion from the Garden of Eden (c.1425). To the right, a dinner party is just starting. Tim's girlfriend's parents and fellow guests toast the new arrival.
Confidence is what sets you apart from others. When you are confident in everything you do, you will prosper, and people will notice.

The Chief Guest in his address stated that “The need of the hour today in India is for citizens who will use their knowledge and learning to better their society. The need of the hour is for young graduates like to go out, inspire the world and make a difference. Looking for an opportunity to really benefit other people and delivering those benefits. Taking measured risks and winning more than losing. It means standing on your own feet, not worrying about what the boss thinks of you. Don’t just work hard, but get stuck in and look for improvement. Use any and every opportunity that presents itself to you. Each one is a gift to harness your potential and learn many new things. Utilize them well through them, learn to love and enjoy what you do! And ended the speech with a quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson, who says, The purpose of the life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.”
The Chief Guest thereupon gave the degree to each student. After the distribution of degrees the oath taking of the degree recipients was done. Finally the Graduation Ceremony was dissolved, continued with this was the playing of National Anthem.
The Academic procession moved back in the reverse order and the degree awardees followed at the back of the procession.
The ceremony was ended with a ray of hope and joy.

What a difference a day can make....40 days of no rain changed overnight to a storm with winds, big rain, and cold fog. The sun umbrella was open yesterday! #cy365 253/365 'what a difference'
Added a Mitropa Spieswagen (Restaurant Car) to my Diesel set, just got to sort out the couplings conversion before the excursion to Prattlesham Bay can get going. While having my afternoon snooze I did a bit of lateral thinking. Remove one coupling from the Spieswagen and one coupling from the first class coach and swap them over. The first class coach then will connect to one end of the Spieswagen with Fleischmann couplings and the second class coach connects to the other end of the Spieswagen with NEMs. That'll do for me.
On Wednesday 26 November 2014 the Outreach Team held a workshop with a group from Women Making a Difference on the role of the Assembly and how they can get involved.

Servite High School's 6th Annual Gala: Staging the Difference took place on Saturday, February 7 at the Anaheim Hilton. Thank you to the Gala co-chairs, the Gala committee, event sponsors and all those who attended the event. It was a night filled with dinner, dancing and lots of fun.
aroundperranuthnoe.blogspot.com St. Martin was above fourscore years old, when God was pleased to put a happy end to his labours. Long before his departure he had knowledge of his approaching death, which he clearly foretold to his disciples. Being informed that a scandalous difference had arisen amongst the clergy at Cande, a parish at the extremity of his diocess, at the confluence of the Loire and the Vienne in Touraine, upon the borders of Poitou and Anjou, he went thither to compose the disturbance, attended as usual by a great number of his disciples. Having remained there some time, and settled all things to his satisfaction, he was preparing for his return, when he was seized with his last sickness, and found, on a sudden, his strength fail him. As soon as he was taken ill, he called his religious brethren about him, and told them that the time of his departure was come. At this news they all with tears and with one voice said to him: “Father, why do you forsake us? or to whom do you recommend us? The ravening wolves will fall upon your flock. We know you desire to be with Jesus Christ; but your reward is secure; nor will be a whit diminished by being deferred a while. Have pity on our necessity, who are left amidst great dangers.” The servant of God, moved with their tears, wept also, and prayed thus: “Lord, if I am still necessary to thy people, I refuse no labour. Thy holy will be done.” As if he had said, says St. Sulpicius: My soul is uncouquered by old age, weakness, or fatigues, and ready to sustain new conflicts, if you call me to them. But if you spare my age, and take me to yourself, be the guardian and protector of those souls for which I fear. By these words he showed that he knew not which was clearest to him, either to remain on earth for Christ, or to leave the earth for Christ; and has taught us in prayer for temporal things, to submit ourselves with perfect resignation and indifference to the divine will, begging that God may direct all things in us and through us to his greater glory. The saint had a fever which lasted some days: notwithstanding which he spent the night in prayer, lying on ashes and hair cloth. His disciples earnestly entreated him that he would suffer them at least to put a little straw under him. But he replied: “It becomes not a Christian to die otherwise than upon ashes. I shall have sinned if I leave you any other example.” He continually held up his eyes and hands to heaven, never interrupting his prayer, so that the priests that stood about him, begged he would turn himself on one side, to afford his body a little rest. He answered: “Allow me, my brethren, to look rather towards heaven than upon the earth, that my soul may be directed to take its flight to the Lord to whom it is going.” Afterwards, seeing the devil near him, he said: “What dost thou here, cruel beast? Thou shall find nothing in me. Abraham’s bosom is open to receive me.” Saying these words, he expired on the 8th of November, probably in 397. 12 He died seven months after St. Ambrose, as St. Gregory of Tours assures us. They who were present wondered at the brightness of his face and whole body, which seemed to them as if it were already glorified. 13 The inhabitants of Poitiers warmly disputed the possession of his body; but the people of Tours carried it off. The whole city came out to meet it: all the country people and many from neighbouring cities flocked thither, with about two thousand monks, and a great company of virgins. They all melted into tears, though no one doubted of his glory. He was carried with hymns to the place of his interment, which was in a little grove at some distance from the monastery, where certain monks lived in separate cells. The place was then five hundred and thirty paces from the city, as St. Gregory of Tours informs us, though at present it is part of it, and the walls were carried so far as to encompass it in the beginning of the inroads of the Normans. St. Brice, St. Martin’s successor, built a chapel over his tomb, and St. Perpetuus, the sixth bishop of Tours, about the year 470, founded upon that spot the great church and monastery, the saint’s sumptuous tomb being placed behind the high altar. 14 These monks secularized themselves in the seventh century. Towards the close of the eighth, Pope Adrian I. at the request of Charlemagne, placed there regular canons, and Alcuin was shortly after appointed their abbot. 15 These canons were secularized in the reign of Charles the Bald, in 849, and have continued so ever since. The king of France, from the time of Hugh Capet, is the abbot and first canon; besides eleven dignitaries, and fifty-one canons, &c. here are ecclesiastical honorary canons, namely, the patriarch of Jerusalem, the archbishops of Mentz, Cologne, Compostella, Sens, and Bourges; the bishops of Liege, Strasbourg, Angers, Auxerre, and Quebec; and the abbots of Marmoutier, and St. Julian’s at Tours; and lay honorary canons, the dauphin, the dukes of Burgundy, Anjou, Brittany, Bourbon, Vendome, and Nevers: the counts of Flanders, Dunois, and Angouleme: also the earl of Douglas, in Scotland, before that family had changed its religion. The extraordinary devotion which the French and all Europe have expressed to St. Martin, and to this church for the sake of his precious tomb, would furnish matter for a large history. The Huguenots rifled the shrine and scattered the relics of this saint. But this church recovered a bone of his arm, and part of his skull. 16 Before this dispersion, certain churches had obtained small portions which they still preserve. The priory of St. Martin’s-in-the-Fields at Paris is possessed of a part: two of his teeth are shown in St. Martin’s, at Tournay. The cathedral at Tours was built by St. Martin in honour of St. Maurice: but since the year 1096, bears the title of St. Gatian’s. Its chapter is one of the most illustrious in France; the bishop of Tours was suffragan to Rouen till he was made a metropolitan. A vial of sacred oil is kept at St. Martin’s; with which Henry IV. was anointed king instead of that from Rheims. St. Sulpicius relates that St. Martin sometimes cured distempers by oil which he had blessed, 17 and that this oil was sometimes miraculously increased. 18
Sometimes you can dream big, let your mind wander, and strive for the impossible.
Other times it is more logical to stay in the present and keep yourself safe from the possible.
The difference between these two instances are the outcomes. Although everyone needs a rock in their life, they also need that person, object, place, or experience to remind them why they keep on living.
(I overdid the sharpness on purpose.)

I think this is a mushroom. Wonder about the coral/toothed mushrooms but have not found its match yet.
complete.. you may compare it with the previous photo
to see te difference...
again, it is not really the 'hex twists with two opposite pleats reversed, or countersunk'.
combining two of them will get th twist, i think i'm sure.
--------
due to my short term memory loss(?),
i preserve the steps (i tried to remember how i've folded Owesen's stars the other day... couldn't remember it... what a silly i am)
anyway, i asked Joel a permission for this base, what he calls 'hex twists with two opposite pleats reversed, or countersunk' on his herringbone but didn't hear any from him.
recently he post the reverse shot. so i take the liberty to give my note2self to friends in flickr.
hope Joel doesn't feel being handed over by one of his most able students (well, that's me ^L^")
and i hope some friends will bring a nice idea from it as always they do.
