Metz, France - St Stephen's Cathedral
Saint-Étienne de Metz (French for "Saint-Stephen of Metz"), also known as Metz Cathedral, is a historic Roman Catholic cathedral in Metz, capital of Lorraine, France. Saint-Étienne de Metz is the cathedral of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Metz and the seat of the Bishop of Metz, currently Pierre Raffin.The cathedral treasury exhibits the millennium rich collection of the Bishopric of Metz, including paraments and items used for the Eucharist.
Saint-Stephen of Metz has one of the highest naves in the world. The cathedral is nicknamed the Good Lord's Lantern (French: la Lanterne du Bon Dieu), displaying the largest expanse of stained glass in the world with 6,496 m2 (69,920 sq ft). Those stained glass windows include works by Gothic and Renaissance master glass makers Hermann von Münster, Theobald of Lixheim, and Valentin Bousch and romantic Charles-Laurent Maréchal, tachist Roger Bissière, cubist Jacques Villon, and modernist Marc Chagall.
Built between 1220 and 1552, it is the product of the unification of two distinct churches. With its 42 metre high vaults, it is one of the highest Gothic edifices in Europe. With its 6,500 m² of stained glass windows, the nickname “God’s lantern” is well merited. There are windows from the 13th to the 20th centuries by Hermann de Münster, Thiebault de Lixheim, Valentin Bousch, Jacques Villon and Marc Chagall. These masterpieces of the art of fire and light form a veritable encyclopaedia of the art of stained glass.
Architecture
Saint-Stephen Cathedral is a Rayonnant Gothic edifice built with the local yellow Jaumont limestone. Like in French Gothic architecture, the building is compact, with slight projection of the transepts and subsidiary chapels. However, it displays singular, distinctive characteristics in both its ground plan and architecture compared to most of the other cathedrals. Because of topography of Moselle valley in Metz, the common west-east axis of the ground plan could not be applied and the church is oriented north-northeast. Moreover, unlike the French and German Gothic cathedrals having three portals surmounted by a rose window and two large towers, Saint-Stephen of Metz has a single porch at its western facade. One enters laterally in the edifice by another portal placed at the south-western side of the narthex, declining the usual alignment of the entrance with the choir.
The nave is supported by flying buttresses and culminates at 41.41 metres (135.9 ft) high, making one of the highest naves in the world. The height of the nave is contrasted by the relatively low height of the aisles with 14.3 metres (47 ft) high, reinforcing the sensation of tallness of the nave. This feature permitted the architects to create large, tall expanses of stained glass. Through its history, Saint-Stephen Cathedral was subjected to architectural and ornamental modifications with successive additions of Neoclassical and Neogothic elements.
Construction history
The edification of Saint-Stephen of Metz took place on an Ancient site from the 5th century consecrated to Saint Stephen protomartyr. According to Gregory of Tours, the shrine of Saint Stephen was the sole structure spared during the sack of 451 by Attila's Huns. The construction of the Gothic cathedral began in 1220 within the walls of an Ottonian basilica dating from the 10th century. The integration into the cathedral's ground plan of a Gothic chapel from the 12th century at the western end resulted in the absence of a main western portal; the south-western porch of the cathedral being the entrance of the former chapel. The work was completed around 1520 and the new cathedral was consecrated on 11 April 1552.
In 1755, French architect Jacques-François Blondel was awarded by the Royal Academy of Architecture to built a Neoclassical portal at the West end of the cathedral. He disengaged the cathedral's facade by razing an adjacent cloister and three attached churches and achieved the westwork in 1764.
In 1877, the Saint-Stephen of Metz was heavily damaged after a conflagration due to fireworks. After this incident, it was decided the refurbishment of the cathedral and its adornments within a Neogothic style. The western facade was completely rebuilt between 1898 and 1903; the Blondel's portal was demolished and a new Neogothic portal was added.
Poema da leitura estrutural da vida e obra
A mulher não se importa mais com os espelhos, os espelhos a seguem e podem brotar do seu carinho no ar. Ela pensa nos planos, pois se são diversos está faltando uma palavra. O seu tempo é usado na leitura da rua infinita, a arte hiperreal é a sua imaginação, o belo efeito inimitável do invisível sempre disponível lhe dá a sensação de morar no último mínimo átomo rodeado do espírito do Deus. Nas horas da música acompanha com os dedos como se solasse um teclado acoplado à guitarra recebendo sons de todas as direções. A cada face arquitetural corresponde um poema, a cada conjunto de faces arquitetônicas a disposição da única pose virtual. Ela imagina certamente que o artista pensa em primeiro lugar na virtualidade ausente por ser a edificação diretamente proveniente dos sentidos. Em alguns dias ela faz um passeio cada vez mais longo pela urbe, noutros dias somente reflete e não encontra segredo.
Poème lecture structural de vie et œuvre
La femme ne se soucie pas plus avec les miroirs, les miroirs à suivre et peut jaillir de votre affection dans l'air. Elle pense les plans, parce qu'ils sont divers est absent un mot. Son temps est utilize la lecture rue infini, art hyperréaliste est votre imagination, le bel effet de l'invisible inimitable toujours disponible vous donne la sensation à vivre au moins un atome dernière entourée par l'esprit de Dieu. Les heures de musique accompagne avec les doigts comme un clavier solasse couplé avec la guitar obtenir des sons dans toutes les directions. De chaque visage architectural correspond un poème, chaque ensemble de faces architectural la disposition d'virtuel unique pose. Elle a certainement imaginer que l'artiste pense en premier placer en l'absence dans la virtualité soit pour l'édification directement à partir de les sens. Dans quelques jours elle fait une tournée plus en plus sur la métropole, les autres jours reflète seulement n'est pas trouve secret.
Poem of the reading structural life and work
The woman does not care more with the mirrors, the mirrors to follow and can sprout your affection in the air. She thinks of the plans, because they are diverses is missing a word.

The hours of music accompanies with your fingers like soloing a keyboard coupled with guitar getting sounds from all directions.

She certainly imagine that the artist thinks in the first place in the virtuality absent to be the building directly originating the senses. In some days she does a tour each time more long for the metropolis, other days only reflects and finds no secrets.

Oratorio di s. Filippo
Accanto alla Chiesa Nuova e congiunto alla medesima v' è il grandioso oratorio di s. Filippo, cui è annesso il convento o casa già dei pp. Filippini, ed era dedicato a s. Cecilia.
Francesco Borromino fu il bizzarro architetto di questa fabbrica bizzarra.
La volta dell' oratorio era ornata dalla Incoronazione in cielo di Maria, opera del Romanelli; il quadro dell' altare coll' Assunta e s. Cecilia fu dipinto dal Vanni: nella parete destra v' ha una statua di s. Filippo in stucco opera di Michele Maglia borgognone. Dirimpetto v' era il pulpito e vicino l' orchestra in cui si eseguiva la musica istromentale secondo il gusto di s. Filippo, dopo che da quel pulpito ava parlato un fanciullino, e poi un padre dell' oratorio. Questo grazioso trattenimento è sparito colla vecchia Roma, e quella sala santificata da uomini illustri è ora ridotta a Corte d' Assise!
Le grandi memorie di Filippo Neri che si legano alla storia di questo luogo colla riforma dei costumi da lui compiuta nella Roma del secolo XVI, mi suggeriscono l' idea di aggiungere a quest' articolo sull' oratorio il catalogo dei primi compagni di Filippo Neri e delle attribuzioni di ciascuno, che in un rendiconto autentico di quegli anni ho trovato nell' archivio vaticano.

Le château de Chambord est un château français situé dans la commune de Chambord, dans le département de Loir-et-Cher en région Centre-Val de Loire.
Construit au cœur du plus grand parc forestier clos d’Europe (environ 50 km2 ceint par un mur de 32 km de long), il s'agit du plus vaste des châteaux de la Loire. Il bénéficie d'un jardin d'agrément et d'un parc de chasse classés Monuments historiques.
Le site a d'abord accueilli une motte féodale, ainsi que l'ancien château des comtes de Blois. L'origine du château actuel remonte au xvie siècle et au règne du roi de France François Ier qui supervise son édification à partir de 1519.
The royal Château de Chambord at Chambord, Loir-et-Cher, France, is one of the most recognizable châteaux in the world because of its very distinctive French Renaissance architecture which blends traditional French medieval forms with classical Renaissance structures. The building, which was never completed, was constructed by King Francis I of France.
Chambord is the largest château in the Loire Valley; it was built to serve as a hunting lodge for Francis I, who maintained his royal residences at the châteaux of Blois and Amboise. The original design of the Château de Chambord is attributed, though with some doubt, to Domenico da Cortona; Leonardo da Vinci may also have been involved.
Chambord was altered considerably during the twenty-eight years of its construction (1519–1547), during which it was overseen on-site by Pierre Nepveu. With the château nearing completion, Francis showed off his enormous symbol of wealth and power by hosting his old archrival, Emperor Charles V, at Chambord.
In 1792, in the wake of the French Revolution, some of the furnishings were sold and timber removed. For a time the building was left abandoned, though in the 19th century some attempts were made at restoration. During the Second World War, art works from the collections of the Louvre and the Château de Compiègne were moved to the Château de Chambord. The château is now open to the public, receiving 700,000 visitors in 2007.

The object of this society is to help altar-boys to fulfill their sacred duties attentively and devoutly, through St. John Berchmans' intercession and by bis example, so that Almighty God may be glorified, and the people may receive edification. Among the simple little rules, we find that each member of the society is to avoid carefully unnecessary talking, looking around, moving his head and feet, or playing with his hands while serving at Mass and that he shall be punctual in attendance, and make the responses devoutly.

"Stupid-ass niggah," Tandy says.
Sonya smiles tightly, tries not to betray her brain swelling under her skull. How did she ever get herself into this? One minute she is trying on shirts at home and the next minute, she is pretending to be black. She has to say something now before things get out of hand. But Sonya's desire to belong overwhelms her sense of moral obligation.
That's a quick excerpt from my boy JD Guilford's debut novel, The Edification of Sonya Crane, published by Kimani Press. Just came in the mail today. (I pre-ordered it when he told me it was on its way to the printer.) He's all growed up and in NYC now, but i remember when he was here in Atlanta, working on his first manuscript. I had the honor of reading and giving him feedback on that one, and i'm proud to see him finally published. (This is a different novel, btw.)
I am truly blessed to be surrounded by so many wonderfully talented people...
"THE MORPHEUS DEVICE" is the World's first CREDIBLE, PRACTICAL, and yet SIMPLE design of a COMPACT instrumentality for RECORDING Human nocturnal DREAMS, in REAL-TIME! This is NO cockamamie 'RUBE GOLDBERG DREADLOCKS MACHINE', folks --- with scores of unkempt electrodes and wires DANGLING from one's snoozing NOGGIN! Indeed, "THE MORPHEUS DEVICE" elaborates the only FEASIBLE way our nightly dreams can be easily, accurately, and rapidly RECORDED in maximum, full-color, HD resolution, FOR ALL TIME. And then PLAYED-BACK at one's leisure for PROFOUND emotional, psychological, intellectual, philosophical, spiritual, artistic, and even political EDIFICATION and INSPIRATION on an EPOCHAL scale! And for a mere $25,000,000 (USD), you can PURCHASE outright ALL ownership, design, reproduction, publishing, manufacturing, sales, TV, cable, screenplay, movie, Hollywood, Netflix, Disney, Amazon, Internet, pod-casting, Blockchain, and otherwise LEGAL RIGHTS to the watershed "THE MORPHEUS DEVICE" (Dream Recording Machine) Invention Proposal. (See Proposal, Pg. 37.) In the proverbial Final Analysis, "THE MORPHEUS DEVICE" --- vis-à-vis exploiting our RETINAS (vs. 'GREY MATTER') to record nightly DREAMS --- is both figuratively AND literally the biggest 'NO-Brainer' in the History of MANKIND, TECHNOLOGY, and SCIENCE to boot! Thank you, and PLEASANT nightmares to all!

I've recently discovered the broiler in our oven. For this tasty dish I marinated chicken pieces in a wine and mustard marinade, then broiled them in a preheated cast-iron skillet.
The recipe is easy and you should give it a try. It's posted on our blog, Letter from Hen Waller, for your edification.

Tonnerre (Yonne).
L'église saint-Pierre.
À l’origine il y avait une chapelle romane qui fut détruite en 1288 pour l’édification de fortifications.
À la fin du XV e siècle, construction de la tour ouest de l’église culminant à 230 m. Elle permet d’y loger un guetteur.
En 1556, l’incendie qui éclata dans Tonnerre toucha l’église et celle-ci a dû être en partie reconstruite.
De la fin du XVI e au milieu du XVII e siècle, l’église a de nouveau été remaniée : mise en œuvre du voûtement, construction de chapelles, ornement d’une façade Renaissance.
Tonnerre (Yonne).
The Church of St. Peter.
Initially there was a Romanesque chapel which was destroyed in 1288 for the construction of fortifications.
At the end of the fifteenth century, construction of the west tower of the highest church in 230. It allows you to accommodate a lookout.
In 1556, a fire that broke out in the church and Thunder touched it had to be partly rebuilt.
From the late sixteenth to mid-seventeenth century, the church was again rebuilt: implementation of vaulting, building chapels, ornament of a Renaissance facade.

La Casa Milà (en catalan, « maison Milà »), surnommée ironiquement « La Pedrera » (en catalan et en espagnol, « la carrière de pierre »), est un édifice de Barcelone, érigé entre 1906 et 1910 par l'architecte catalan Antoni Gaudí.
La Casa Milà, conçue comme un hôtel particulier, est généralement classée comme œuvre monumentale du modernisme catalan de la première décennie du XXe siècle, dont Gaudí était le chef de file. Ce fut l'avant-dernier projet conduit par l'architecte qui utilisa ici ses techniques clefs : l'inspiration naturaliste et l'arc caténaire.
Malgré l'opposition répétée du conseil municipal à l'édification de ce bâtiment en dehors des limites du plan Cerdà et les moqueries des Barcelonais, la Casa Milà fait partie, un siècle après sa construction, des lieux emblématiques de la ville et des dix sites les plus touristiques de Barcelone. Elle figure sur la liste du patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO. Casa Milà (Catalan pronunciation: [ˈkazə miˈɫa]), better known as La Pedrera (pronounced: [ɫə pəˈðɾeɾə], meaning the 'The Quarry'), is a building designed by the Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí and built during the years 1906–1912. It is located at 92, Passeig de Gràcia (passeig is Catalan for promenade) in the Eixample district of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.
It was a controversial design at the time for the bold forms of the undulating stone facade and wrought iron decoration of the balconies and windows, designed largely by Josep Maria Jujol, who also created some of the plaster ceilings.
Architecturally it is considered an innovative work for its steel structure and curtain walls – the façade is self-supporting. Other innovative elements were the construction of underground car parking and separate lifts and stairs for the owners and their servants.
In 1984, it was declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO. The building is made open to the public by the CatalunyaCaixa Foundation, which manages the various exhibitions and activities and visits to the interior and roof.
Metz, France - St Stephen's Cathedral
Saint-Étienne de Metz (French for "Saint-Stephen of Metz"), also known as Metz Cathedral, is a historic Roman Catholic cathedral in Metz, capital of Lorraine, France. Saint-Étienne de Metz is the cathedral of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Metz and the seat of the Bishop of Metz, currently Pierre Raffin.The cathedral treasury exhibits the millennium rich collection of the Bishopric of Metz, including paraments and items used for the Eucharist.
Saint-Stephen of Metz has one of the highest naves in the world. The cathedral is nicknamed the Good Lord's Lantern (French: la Lanterne du Bon Dieu), displaying the largest expanse of stained glass in the world with 6,496 m2 (69,920 sq ft). Those stained glass windows include works by Gothic and Renaissance master glass makers Hermann von Münster, Theobald of Lixheim, and Valentin Bousch and romantic Charles-Laurent Maréchal, tachist Roger Bissière, cubist Jacques Villon, and modernist Marc Chagall.
Built between 1220 and 1552, it is the product of the unification of two distinct churches. With its 42 metre high vaults, it is one of the highest Gothic edifices in Europe. With its 6,500 m² of stained glass windows, the nickname “God’s lantern” is well merited. There are windows from the 13th to the 20th centuries by Hermann de Münster, Thiebault de Lixheim, Valentin Bousch, Jacques Villon and Marc Chagall. These masterpieces of the art of fire and light form a veritable encyclopaedia of the art of stained glass.
Architecture
Saint-Stephen Cathedral is a Rayonnant Gothic edifice built with the local yellow Jaumont limestone. Like in French Gothic architecture, the building is compact, with slight projection of the transepts and subsidiary chapels. However, it displays singular, distinctive characteristics in both its ground plan and architecture compared to most of the other cathedrals. Because of topography of Moselle valley in Metz, the common west-east axis of the ground plan could not be applied and the church is oriented north-northeast. Moreover, unlike the French and German Gothic cathedrals having three portals surmounted by a rose window and two large towers, Saint-Stephen of Metz has a single porch at its western facade. One enters laterally in the edifice by another portal placed at the south-western side of the narthex, declining the usual alignment of the entrance with the choir.
The nave is supported by flying buttresses and culminates at 41.41 metres (135.9 ft) high, making one of the highest naves in the world. The height of the nave is contrasted by the relatively low height of the aisles with 14.3 metres (47 ft) high, reinforcing the sensation of tallness of the nave. This feature permitted the architects to create large, tall expanses of stained glass. Through its history, Saint-Stephen Cathedral was subjected to architectural and ornamental modifications with successive additions of Neoclassical and Neogothic elements.
Construction history
The edification of Saint-Stephen of Metz took place on an Ancient site from the 5th century consecrated to Saint Stephen protomartyr. According to Gregory of Tours, the shrine of Saint Stephen was the sole structure spared during the sack of 451 by Attila's Huns. The construction of the Gothic cathedral began in 1220 within the walls of an Ottonian basilica dating from the 10th century. The integration into the cathedral's ground plan of a Gothic chapel from the 12th century at the western end resulted in the absence of a main western portal; the south-western porch of the cathedral being the entrance of the former chapel. The work was completed around 1520 and the new cathedral was consecrated on 11 April 1552.
In 1755, French architect Jacques-François Blondel was awarded by the Royal Academy of Architecture to built a Neoclassical portal at the West end of the cathedral. He disengaged the cathedral's facade by razing an adjacent cloister and three attached churches and achieved the westwork in 1764.
In 1877, the Saint-Stephen of Metz was heavily damaged after a conflagration due to fireworks. After this incident, it was decided the refurbishment of the cathedral and its adornments within a Neogothic style. The western facade was completely rebuilt between 1898 and 1903; the Blondel's portal was demolished and a new Neogothic portal was added.
