St Mary, Higham St Mary, Suffolk
Ooh, but Higham's posh. If I can ever afford to live here, you won't find me cycling around lonely lanes visiting medieval churches. No sir. I'll have my feet up on a large settle, and I'll be eating truffles and pate de fois gras, and drinking champagne to the sound of trumpets. Until then, visiting St Mary is probably as close as I'm going to get to the high life.
St Mary is not a big church; however, its restoration has left it cavernous, and it seems big inside. A long north aisle lies on the village side, and you step down into it from the north porch, a simple affair. It contains a memorial to Robert Hoy, who died at the age of 10 in 1811. It is charged with the sentimental piety one expects of the time. The artist was Charles Regnart, and Mortlock thought it not his best, pointing out that the awkwardly posed woman clasps an urn which she seems to have caught just in time; which rather endeared it to me, actually.
The churches in this part of Suffolk were, for the most part, enthusiastically scoured by the Victorians. Sometimes, the results were good; I think particularly of Great Wenham and Layham, where low-church restorations left us with fine, bright, neat interiors. It is harder to do this with a big church, and something similar was tried on a grander scale at East Bergholt, which is now rather gloomy, I'm afraid; but to be fair, Bergholt had already been seriously distressed by the Anglicans and Puritans in the 16th and 17th centuries. The other wing of the 19th century church was brought to bear at Stratford St Mary, which is internally indistinguishable from a thousand Tractarian temples from Coventry to Calcutta. Higham also underwent a Tractarian remodelling, and it was of good quality, as you'd expect for the clientèle. The chancel is a gorgeous confection of 1880s Anglo-catholic piety. It must have cost an absolute fortune - but then, they could probably afford it. The elaborate reredos is tiled in the manner of the 19th century churches of North London that Betjeman loved so much, and the high roof allows it to be full of light, otherwise it would be overpowering.
Indeed, the high chancel arch, a Victorian replacement in wood, saves this church from aesthetic suicide. It gives scale to the east end, and allows the nave to retain something of its former barn-like quality, despite the heavy 19th century furnishings. It gives proper scale to the stained glass, much of which is good, and I particularly liked Faith and Charity by Powell and Sons. This is as good as their early 20th Century glass gets, and there are earlier survivals - note the beautiful carvings on the capitals of the arcade, and the stone corbels beneath the roof also look medieval. Well, Mortlock thinks so, anyway.
Mortlock also indicated to me what appears, at first, to be a second font, but is in fact almost certainly an ancient holy water stoup, from the lost days of Catholic England. He wondered if it had come from the now-demolished south porch. It might seem awkward to us today that the main entrance of this church was once on the other side, but it is a good reminder that, however old the villages of Suffolk look, they are never as old as their parish churches, turned as they once were towards long-vanished communities.
How Ben knew about this or found out about this, I don't know, but Sushi Mizutani is an extremely top-class sushi restaurant in Ginza, possibly one of the best, most famous, most "top". Three-stars in the Michelin guide.
The place is located in the basement of a non-descript Ginza building, and it's quite small - maybe about ten seats around the sushi bar, and one or two booths. It's run by Mizutani-sensei, his apprentice, and his wife, who handles the reservations & the bill, serves tea, etc. At one point, he had a fake fight with his apprentice, reprimanding him for handing him tuna when he asked for eel, or something like that; he threw things at the apprentice and shooed him into the back room.
Mizutani-sensei was most gracious, and did not serve me those things I could not have, though we were doing "omakase", i.e. leaving it up to him to serve us what he chose best suited the proper order to enjoy the sushi in. Or something to that effect.
And oh my god the sushi was soo excellent. I didn't think there could be such a completely different level of quality and flavor. Incredible.
And the menu is quite traditional. No cucumber or avocado, certainly no mango or cream cheese (though, you won't find the latter in any sushi shop in Japan), even no raw salmon. Apparently, despite how wonderful it tastes, the Japanese don't have a tradition of eating salmon raw. According to Wikipedia, this is the result of the fact that, in the days before refrigeration, raw salmon was far more likely to harbor dangerous parasites. and such.
I was really nervous going in; I don't know how many foreigners they get, and it's a very high-class, traditional, formal sushiya, so I didn't want to offend by enjoying the food in the wrong manner. But, in the end, it was no problem whatsoever.
Too bad about the chain link fence. This was the best shot I could get, and even this is heavily photo editted. A bunch of automobiles parked in the foreground were removed from the image.
Orange Gerbera Daisy
My wife Shelly purchased several small pots of Gerbera Daisies the other day. This morning I picked them up and placed them on the deck railing and brought out my Nikon 50mm with my new +4 close-up filter. I was amazed at what I was getting and I'm having a ton of fun with these $18 toys (set of three - +1, +2 & +4)

House of the Teutonic Order
The House of the Teutonic Order was as a Viennese commandry of the in 1198 in Acre founded Teutonic Order under Duke Leopold VI in the early years of the 13th Century built. The German Order was next to the Hospitallers and the Templars the third major order of knights of the Middle Ages. Duke Leopold gave him the large area between Stephansplatz, Churhausgasse, Singerstraße and blood alley (Blutgasse). Documentarily proven is the existence of the house from 1222. Here resided the Landkomtur (province commanders) of the Bailiwick of Austria, to which the commandries Vienna, Wiener Neustadt, Graz, Friesach and Groß-Sonntag (Krain) belonged. In the great fire of 1258 all the religious buildings except the church tower burned down. In the Middle Ages the complex of the German monastic house was limited to the area along the Singerstraße and Blutgasse. 1309 exchanged the Order part of the land that was needed for the extension of Stephen's cemetery against a neighboring area. The sprawling building had in its, the Stephansplatz adjacent part a large farm yard, which was surrounded by stables. Since 1526 the Head of the Order bore the title "Grand and German master (Hoch- und Deutschmeister)". The famous Viennese house regiment of the same name by the way in 1696 emerged from those Truppenkontigenten (contigent of troops) which the Order for the Turkish war had provided. After the first Turkish siege of Vienna, numerous residents of the suburbs whose houses had been burned were housed here. From 1667 the already dilapidated buildings were torn down with the exception of the church under the Landkomtur (province commander) Gottfried Freiherr von Lambert and provided by Carlo Canevale with three-storey new buildings. As plasterers Jacob Schlag and Simon Alio were mentioned. 1679/82 increased Canevale and Johann Bernhard Ceresola the complex.
Sala terrena. In the years 1720-1725 the German religious house under the Landkomtur Guidobald Starhemberg by Anton Erhard Martinelli was further extended and baroquised. In 1785 it received under Landkomtur Alois Graf Harrach by placing a fourth storey its present shape. In the 18th Century several fires caused major damages. Especially those of 1735 raged for three days, because the urban fighting personnel the entry was denied by the German Order of Knights. Among the prominent residents of the German religious house, which in the 18th and 19th century first also as a guest house of the Order served and then was largely rented, included Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1781), Johannes Brahms (1863 - 1865) and the comedy writer Cornelius Hermann Paul von Ayrenhoff. At the beginning of the 19th Century on Stephansplatz the German Order Cellar (Deutschordenskeller) was opened. Was in its place in the second half of the 20th Century the Restaurant "Deutsches Haus". Since 1809 the German religious house is the residence of the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order. Until then, this one resided in Mergentheim (Baden-Württemberg). From 1864 the Landkomtur Eugen Graf von Haugwitz the church by the cathedral architect from Gran, Josef Lippert, partially had re-gothicised. At that time at the gable above the church windows the already damaged pinnacles and figures were removed. Only the Grand Master coat of arms was left. 1929 the community of the German Teutonic Knights was transformed into a purely religious order. It is one of the very few religious institutions whose top management is not located in Rome. First Grand Master living in Vienna was Archduke Anton Viktor (1804 - 1835).
Church - interior. The House of the Teutonic Order is now a sprawling complex of buildings, grouped around two courtyards. The façade at the Blutgasse is the oldest. Those at the Singerstraße stems from the 17th Century. It represents today the face side of the building. The structuring of the façade by high Baroque inonic giant pilasters followed around 1720. The ground floor is grooved. The two early-Baroque round-arched portals are framed with Tuscan pilasters. The simple façades of the courtyards are held in the style of the 17th Century. On the west side of the pentagonal courtyard on the ground floor walled arched arcades as well as glazed Pawlatschen (access galleries) from the 19th Century on the first floor can be seen. In the courts were various, in 1903 discovered grave plates placed. The ground floor rooms are vaulted, early Baroque lunette barrels and groin vaults prevailing. Among them is the Sala terrene, a with a flat dome vaulted central room which is decorated with illusionistic wall paintings of the late 18th Century. The wall and ceiling frescoes depict mythological scenes and figural ornaments. The hall was once opened to the garden through a portal, but this was later reworked into a window. The tract between Stephansplatz and Blutgasse encloses two two-aisled halls. While the cross vault of the first ones is resting on sturdy pillars is those of the other ones supported by Tuscan columns. In the partially with Rococo and Neoclassical stucco ceilings provided rooms of the first floor are located the library and archives of the Order with documents and books dating back to the 12th Century. Some beautifully crafted wood cabinets were personally manufactured by the Grand and Deutschmeister Archduke Eugen. In the treasure chamber on the second floor are in addition to religious insignias and paintings, inter alia, parts of the Kunstkammer (Art chamber) of the Grand Master Archduke Maximilian III of Austria from the time about 1600 exposed.
Church - Empore. Attention getter and center of the tract at the Singerstraße are the three tall lancet windows of the church of the Teutonic Order. The first chapel already in 1258 fell victim to a town fire. From 1326 it was replaced by Jörg von Schiffering by a new building yet today the core of the Church of the Teutonic Order forming. At that time this one was still but free on three sides. In 1375 it was dedicated to St. Elizabeth. Guidobald Starhemberg 1720/22 the Chapel had remodelled in the Baroque style and flanked at both longitudinal sides by newly built religious houses, by which the three stained glass windows became the central projection of the House of the Teutonic Order. Presumably Anton Erhard Martinelli also was involved in the planning. The quite gothical appearing church facade is a beautiful example of the baroque tinge of the time after the Gothic period of 18th Century, unique in Austria. In the neo-Gothic restoration of 1864/68 the Baroque dome of the narrow and high tower was replaced by a pointed Gothic helmet. After the church was severely damaged in 1945 by bomb hits, followed its restoration 1946/47. Its vaults possess Gothic stucco decorations. In the Baroque reconstruction in the corners eight galleries were built-in, which are accessible from the apartments situated behind. The Dutch polyptych (1520) comes from Mechelen, but was until 1864 in the St. Mary's Church of Danzig. The altarpiece was created in 1667 by Tobias Pock. In the four corners of the room Evangelists Statues by Johann Hutter (1864) replace the missing sculptures by Giovanni Giuliani from the year 1721. On the walls hang several grave slabs, including an epitaph of the scholar Johannes Cuspinian (1515) and the by Jacob Schletterer created grave monument of the Landkomtur Josef Philipp Graf Harrach. Most of the more than eighty coats of arms of German knights, covering the upper part of the walls were designed by Johann Andreas Frank 1722.

In the afternoon of 10th June 1944 a detachment of SS troops arrived in Oradour-sur-Glane, a peaceful town near the city of Limoges in central France. The troops sealed off the entrances to the town and rounded up the inhabitants, including those they had collected from nearby farms on their way in.
The assembled residents were initially told that this was to be an identity check. However the women and children were then separated from the men folk and the (200 or so) men were split up into smaller groups and taken to various barns or warehouses around the town centre where SS troops set up machine guns facing them. The women and children (approx 450 of them) were taken to the church and locked in.
marcelle robyOn a pre-determined signal the machine gunners opened fire on all the men, slaughtering them in cold blood. Once the firing had ceased the troops covered the dead and dying with wood and straw and set fire to them. At the church, soldiers brought in a box containing some sort of explosive device and detonated it amidst the terrified women and children. It is believed that this was supposed to produce an asphyxiating gas rather than being purely explosive, however its effect was to set the women and children into a screaming panic. The SS then started firing their machine guns into the church through the doors and windows and also threw in hand grenades to murder the women and children. As with the barns where the men were held, the SS then piled in wood and straw and set light to the church. They then proceeded to loot the town and burn down all the buildings.
Only one woman managed to escape from the church, through one of the windows. Several of the men escaped the slaughter at the various barns and managed to hide or flee the town.
At the end of the day, the SS had murdered a total of 642 men women and children.
Following the war the French government decided to preserve the town in its ruined state as a memorial to the murdered inhabitants. It is today still possible to visit the town and get and idea of the terrible atrocity carried out there. I personally made a visit to Oradour in June 2005 and the following pages are presented in the interests of those who are unable to visit the town themselves
Phil Evens "Good morning everyone, and thank you all for coming today. I'd like to start with a heads up about where we are. This driveway is a site entrance for the refurbishment of the Hill's Lab building over the back, so we need to keep it as clear as we can please. If necessary, we may have to move over to the carpark next door, also being mindful that it can be quite busy. I'd like to start by thanking and welcoming David Speirs from Waka Kotahi who is hear today. David is Waka Kotahi's Director of Regional Relationships, and is in constant communication with Hamilton City Council. Our hope is that David will take our messages back into his organisation with our sincere request that they be acted on. I would also like to thank the partners from Deloitte who own this property, for their permission to be here, and place this ghost bike on the railing outside their building. I understand some of their staff may be here, or watching from the top floor of the building. I am Phil Evans, and I started the advocacy group Bike ACTION Hamilton nearly a year ago, after becoming increasingly frustrated at both the state of many of our bike lanes, and also the attitude and behaviours of drivers, many of whom have so little regard for our safety. On a number of occasions, I have blocked drivers from double stacking, using our bike lanes for their convenience when heading up to left turns at intersections. I realise that some of that action was quite confrontational with drivers not impressed about being blocked from driving down our bike lanes. The double stacking problem is just one of the issues that both Waka Kotahi and the Police need to deal with. On-road bike lanes are supposed to be there for the safety of people who ride bikes, and not for drivers convenience. Bike ACTION Hamilton has also worked with Waikato District Council, and Waka Kotahi to keep off road shared paths clear of overhanging plants, particularly large flaxes. Both organisations have agreed to completely remove all inappropriate plantings along shared paths. The one many cyclist will know well is the section of Te Awa River Ride along the front of the Tamahere Shops, and the path adjacent to the expressway just north of Wintec Rotokauri. So why are we here today...? Today marks a milestone for Hamilton, with the placing of our first Ghost Bike. These are typically placed around the world where a cyclist has been killed or seriously injured, similar to the white crosses that mark the sites of vehicle collision fatalities. They are also placed at other relevant locations and today we are placing it at the entrance to Waka Kotahi's regional office. Its location here will be a reminder to all Waka Kotahi staff of the part they play in keeping everyone, including people who ride bikes, safe on our roads. This location is also poinient in being close to one of the most dangerous bridge crossings for cyclists in Hamilton. Various modifications have been made over the last couple of years, and are a vast improvement, but they cannot be the final solution. Back in February I found myself in an ambulance having just crossed that bridge and was cut off by a driver turning into Memorial Drive. She indicated very late, turned right in front of me, and didn't stop. She later told Police she had no idea I was there. That incident makes it clear that even the most practical improvements are still not enough to keep us safe over that bridge. But the real solution is still a long way off. Hamilton City Council have approved funding for a new dedicated walking/cycling bridge, planned to be built less than 100 or so meters from this bridge. They are still in the expensive and time consuming Business Case phase, with an unclear timeframe for that to be completed, and no guarantee of co funding from Waka Kotahi. This has been in the pipeline for a number of years, and still not really out of the starting box. In the meantime, people on bikes, getting to and from work, or the University, are required to cross the river on the existing bridge. This location is also very visible to the significant number of drivers who pass here every day. Hopefully word will get out that this white bike is a symbol for what happens when safe cycleways aren't yet in place, and what can happen. Over the last 11 years, Hamilton has seen the deaths of 7 cyclists, the most recent of which was in Tristram St less than 3 months ago. All of those deaths were avoidable. But sadly, because of a lack of safe infrastructure, they are no longer with us. It is unknown how many injuries have been sustained, but only the most serious are recorded by police. Hamilton City Council has approved a number of projects to begin addressing this, however, Waka Kotahi's processes are far to expensive, slow and cumbersome to make a real difference on our streets. The costs of the Business Cases should be going into more infrastructure, and not endless consultants writing reports. We are all aware that our current bike lane network is very fragmented. Small bits have been added over the years, but the gaps and lack of safe options play a role in keeping cyclist numbers low. The ideal would definitely be a fully off road network, with gold standard routes like the one on Ruakura Rd, and the Wairere Drive shared path, which is nearly 12 km long. But in an existing city, fully off road is not possible, so we need to work faster at making the on road lanes safer. I have personally written numerous emails to CEO Nicole Rosie over the last 12 months, asking for an overhaul of their process, to cut red take, shorten timelines, and make more money available for what Hamilton desperately needs. Responses from various staff have all simply stated their current position, with no intention to address the shortcomings. I believe their processes needs to be changed. Allocating a lump sum to each Council each year, according to population size, or level of growth, would be a start. Or perhaps include Hamilton with Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. That way Hamilton City Council will know what we are getting, and can plan around that. I understand that at last Wednesday's Strategic Growth Committee, while discussing the Metro Spatial Plan, Committee Chair Dave Macpherson asked questions regarding future transport funding processes for Hamilton, and I also know both Cr Dave and Cr Sarah Thomson released a statement to that effect on Wednesday afternoon. So we are also calling on Waka Kotahi to take this seriously, to make more funding available to Hamilton, and to fast track co-funding to match the projects already funded by this Council. Because while we wait, people will continue to be killed and injured. I want to now address the final part of our request to Waka Kotahi, and that is around driver education. There is no doubt that the vast majority of cyclist safety issues come from drivers, most of which is clearly not understanding the rules around people on bikes, and bike lanes. I am sure every cyclist has stories of being cut off, being passed dangerously close, or not being able to use marked bike lanes because they are blocked by parked vehicles, or rush hour traffic. It doesn't help that the Police have done virtually nothing to enforce what are actually very clear legislated rules. The attitude of too many drivers is quite frankly shocking and unacceptable. Every time I am on the receiving end of driver anger, I try to work out why they are so against me riding a bike. It makes no sense, that most drivers are more than happy to be stuck in traffic jams, but when I slow them down for a few seconds to safely get through an intersection, their anger rages to the surface. I don't get that. I will say however, that it is not all drivers. On any particular ride, the vast majority of drivers go completely unnoticed. They keep a good distance, are patient, pass wide and slow, and go about their day. Road Rules are there for a reason, but unfortunately most drivers have not looked at the Road Code since the day they got their drivers license, and there is no requirement for anyone to be retested when renewing their drivers license, except for an eye test. The result is that our roads are full of drivers who have no clue as to what the road rules are. It is time that changed. I have mentioned the Double Stacking, where drivers use our bike lanes to create a second lane, heading up to intersections and roundabouts. This is a clear violation of the Land Transport Road User Rules, but it has never been enforced, and now all drivers consider it just a normal thing to do. That also needs to change. We need drivers to learn how to pass someone on a bike safely. The current distance is 1.5 meters, but I am certain most people have no clue how far that actually is. It is very rare to see a driver hold back at narrower roads, and pinch points like pedestrian islands. Instead they drive at their normal speed with mere inches from our handlebars. And they do it because they have never been told it is against the rules. It is time that changed. We need drivers to know what green paint means. Most don't. It appears on our streets, large swathes of bright green, but there is never any education about what they mean, and while that is partly Councils fault, it is also a national issue. Even many cyclists don't know what a sharrow is, or how to use them. The occasional small corflute sign attached to a pole isn't enough. Advanced stop boxes are another issue, with many drivers blocking them at intersections, and when they are used by cyclists, will often drive dangerously close, out of impatience. Drivers have accepted the hold ups with congestion, but when someone on a bike holds them up for a few seconds, their lose the plot in an angry rage. All we want is to get through the intersection safely. We need drivers to understand that when take the lane, it isn't to piss them off, it is to be seen, and be safe. All of those are reasons why we are getting killed and injured. So David, with this Ghost Bike as a reminder, we are asking your organisation to step up, and I mean really step up, and get this sorted. We don't want to hear about delays, and excuses like, 'oh but all the budget for the next 3 years has been spent”, so we miss out. We don't want to hear of more roading projects that we all know will never reduce congestion, while our safety is put on the back burner. Hamilton needs to be properly co-funded for the cycleway projects that have already been approved. They are not 'pet projects', they are desperately needed safety infrastructure, and they will close the gaps to form a safe, enjoyable cycleway network. Hamilton needs to know that funding is available for the years ahead, so it can plan within that, and not be subjected to the current pot luck lolly scramble that currently exists. We need a significant increase in the $$ value of funding because retro fitting a large city doesn't come cheap. And finally, we need driver education. The current situation cannot be allowed to continue, where drivers have no clue about the road rules, and put our lives at risk. Once everyone knows the rules, perhaps the angry bikelashing that permeates social media and news outlets will subside, and riding a bike will become something to enjoy, clearing out the stresses from a days work, or getting the family out on their bikes on the weekend. I firmly believe all these requests are achievable. They can be done. So with that, we will secure this first Ghost Bike to the railing outside Waka Kotahi's office, and see what happens."
When I decided to build SX-70 flash adapters again after a 5 years break, (no one else seems to want to do it) I designed a printed circuit board and had it produced in a factory rather than etching them at home.
I had help from an engineer who built electronics for the Phoenix Mars lander.
I had built a prototype and tested it with five SX-70s and over a dozen strobes, modern and old, high- and low voltage synched without one misfiring.
So I was confident when I started shipping them and I was shocked that several of my adapters wouldn't fire on the buyers cameras.
What was going on ?
I tried all the SX-70s I could get and found a few that would also not fire.
After a long night I discovered the following:
With the Alpha series the method of polling the flashbar for good bulbs had changed.
Whereas Model 1, 2, and 3s just took the first good bulb, the later circuits would test all bulbs and ignore good ones that had a used one further behind them.
That was clearly the case with the Layout of my circuit board so some Sonars and most Alphas would refuse to shoot when the simulated flashbar was connected.
Luckily there was an easy way to solve this problem.
A wire soldered in the right place would convince the camera that the last bulb is unused so it would fire the flash.
Since I hand-solder the components the modification is easy to do.
I sent modified adapters to everyone who had already ordered one the next day.

St Mary, Higham St Mary, Suffolk
Ooh, but Higham's posh. If I can ever afford to live here, you won't find me cycling around lonely lanes visiting medieval churches. No sir. I'll have my feet up on a large settle, and I'll be eating truffles and pate de fois gras, and drinking champagne to the sound of trumpets. Until then, visiting St Mary is probably as close as I'm going to get to the high life.
St Mary is not a big church; however, its restoration has left it cavernous, and it seems big inside. A long north aisle lies on the village side, and you step down into it from the north porch, a simple affair. It contains a memorial to Robert Hoy, who died at the age of 10 in 1811. It is charged with the sentimental piety one expects of the time. The artist was Charles Regnart, and Mortlock thought it not his best, pointing out that the awkwardly posed woman clasps an urn which she seems to have caught just in time; which rather endeared it to me, actually.
The churches in this part of Suffolk were, for the most part, enthusiastically scoured by the Victorians. Sometimes, the results were good; I think particularly of Great Wenham and Layham, where low-church restorations left us with fine, bright, neat interiors. It is harder to do this with a big church, and something similar was tried on a grander scale at East Bergholt, which is now rather gloomy, I'm afraid; but to be fair, Bergholt had already been seriously distressed by the Anglicans and Puritans in the 16th and 17th centuries. The other wing of the 19th century church was brought to bear at Stratford St Mary, which is internally indistinguishable from a thousand Tractarian temples from Coventry to Calcutta. Higham also underwent a Tractarian remodelling, and it was of good quality, as you'd expect for the clientèle. The chancel is a gorgeous confection of 1880s Anglo-catholic piety. It must have cost an absolute fortune - but then, they could probably afford it. The elaborate reredos is tiled in the manner of the 19th century churches of North London that Betjeman loved so much, and the high roof allows it to be full of light, otherwise it would be overpowering.
Indeed, the high chancel arch, a Victorian replacement in wood, saves this church from aesthetic suicide. It gives scale to the east end, and allows the nave to retain something of its former barn-like quality, despite the heavy 19th century furnishings. It gives proper scale to the stained glass, much of which is good, and I particularly liked Faith and Charity by Powell and Sons. This is as good as their early 20th Century glass gets, and there are earlier survivals - note the beautiful carvings on the capitals of the arcade, and the stone corbels beneath the roof also look medieval. Well, Mortlock thinks so, anyway.
Mortlock also indicated to me what appears, at first, to be a second font, but is in fact almost certainly an ancient holy water stoup, from the lost days of Catholic England. He wondered if it had come from the now-demolished south porch. It might seem awkward to us today that the main entrance of this church was once on the other side, but it is a good reminder that, however old the villages of Suffolk look, they are never as old as their parish churches, turned as they once were towards long-vanished communities.
Omg I had the hardest time choosing which shot for today! I went onto facebook and asked my friends that were still up which shot they liked best (1 vote, 1 vote and first comment (which is usually the deciding factor in my deliberation.) And my sister liked this shot better.
But ultimately I get peoples opinion's and just do the exact opposite, or the one that no one even liked. Because it is up to me, and really, i have to be secure in the shot chosen. Sometimes knowing what other people like is the shot that i don't really like, just makes me like my shot that i like even more. Does that make sense?
Anyway, I was tagged by Nikki so here are 10 facts about me. I'm not gonna tag anyone else though... If you wanna do this, just let me know, and i'll tag you. The rules are to post a self portrait with 10 random facts about you.
1. Last night I saw the movie To save a life I thought it was awesome. Just a wake up call to everyone that how we treat people does matter, and that we need to stop being so judgmental and hypocritical.
2. I know a good deal of html and know how to make a site. I've made few, but they were all up on yahoo!'s geocities which is no longer on the internet.
3. I thought "500 days of summer" was the worst movie in the history of the world. So depressing and the main character was such a jerk! (But i loved how they filmed the movie and every other aspect of it).
4. 99.9 % of the time when people send fwd fwd email chains i just delete them or never forward them. I went through a time in my life where i would get and send an estimate of 10 a day and so i think i OD'd on it.
5. My friends say I have a tendency of using words no one knows the definition of. (Last night i said ''the main character in this movie feels ostracized by his friends." They looked at me like i told them the main character got turned into an animal.)
6. Same goes for phrases. One time my friends were being annoying and I was like "The horse is dead, stop kicking it." They replied with "we're stupid and don't understand your big words." (Kicking was probably the biggest word in that sentence... go figure). Another time i said "It takes two to tango" when a friend wasn't owning up to his responsibility in the problem. Remind me never to say that again, it is now an annoying catch phrase.
7. Whenever I get my friends to shelve at the library with me, they turn all the titles in the 500s/600s/300s into something dirty sounding.
8. When I was 11 I started my own newspaper. It was a one person newspaper for a while. And it's been like a 'zine that prints randomly off and on. But for the last year it's been printed every once a month/two months and we've got at least ten writers and a total of 17 subscribers.
9. Up until age 14 I wanted to be a midwife. Now I want to be a writer/photographer and maybe I still might do something with the desire to be a midwife.
10. I usually hate pictures of myself. It's probably been that way since I was 14...I think there are maybe 10 pictures taken of me each year that I actually like. I think it's because I'm a photographer I know how to take a good picture and also, I'm vain and know how good i look, but can't stand when it doesn't look good in the shot. I want to learn how to take awesomely flattering self portraits like Lauren Lemon.
Bonus 11 question! Sometimes Raven and I are mistaken for twins (when we were very little, but randomly in the past 5 years) and other times it takes us repeating that we are sisters for people to get it. It's so weird because we are so alike and yet so different I can't imagine how someone can't tell that we are related. Today a new friend was like "i just can't believe you are friends!! i hate my sister!!" lol

Shot in the abandoned Arawak Hotel on Grand Bahama Island. I spent over an hour exploring around this place. It was abandoned in the early 80's. It sits on the edge of the Grand Lucayan Waterway which connects the north and south sides of the island.
This was shot on the 11th floor in a corner tower that housed the elevators. In each corner of the room was a motor room with control panel as you see here. It has been stripped of all the copper wiring which is fairly valuable.
I hope you enjoy today's post. If you like what you see the greatest compliment you could give me is to share this with others. I appreciate all the feedback, comments and 'likes' I get and read and respond to every one of them.

St Mary, Higham St Mary, Suffolk
Ooh, but Higham's posh. If I can ever afford to live here, you won't find me cycling around lonely lanes visiting medieval churches. No sir. I'll have my feet up on a large settle, and I'll be eating truffles and pate de fois gras, and drinking champagne to the sound of trumpets. Until then, visiting St Mary is probably as close as I'm going to get to the high life.
St Mary is not a big church; however, its restoration has left it cavernous, and it seems big inside. A long north aisle lies on the village side, and you step down into it from the north porch, a simple affair. It contains a memorial to Robert Hoy, who died at the age of 10 in 1811. It is charged with the sentimental piety one expects of the time. The artist was Charles Regnart, and Mortlock thought it not his best, pointing out that the awkwardly posed woman clasps an urn which she seems to have caught just in time; which rather endeared it to me, actually.
The churches in this part of Suffolk were, for the most part, enthusiastically scoured by the Victorians. Sometimes, the results were good; I think particularly of Great Wenham and Layham, where low-church restorations left us with fine, bright, neat interiors.

Today I created my daughter her own Flickr page. She is so excited to share her pictures with the rest of the world!
This is a shot of her machine. 0.6 mega pixel sensor with interpolation to 1.2! It's pink and virtually indestructable.
I have promised to read her every comment that she gets and occasionally I'll help her comment on some of your shots if you make her a contact.
please drop by here, leave her a note and make a 4 yr olds day!

Since I began my little program, and especially since I starting doing this photograph collection, I've had a number of people tell me they are going to give P90x a try themselves. A week later I usually message them to see how they're doing with it and here's how the conversation often goes:
Them: "Aww man, I had to take a break, I just couldn't keep up with only one rest day."
Me: "Did you get and use the recovery drink after each workout?"
Them: "No! I'm not bothering with that, just an added expense."
Me: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLrpBLDWyCI
Yes, it's another $50 a month...but you stopped drinking right? Or at least moderated. A good beer at B-dubs costs around $3 a pint. In the course of a month, you are EASILY spending more than $50 in beer (at least I was). So really, if you could afford the beer that made you pudgy, you can afford the recovery drink. Once again, not a nutritionist, so I can't say why it works or what other brands are better, but even if it was just a placebo, it helps you get through the days.
We have made our way back to Suffolk, and celebrated New Year in our traditional manner, with Jools' Annual Hootenanny!
This last year has been mostly good, and I can honestly say things are better now than they were last New Year.
And this Month's Photoblogging has gone well, so I'm going to try at Project 365: Uploading one photo for each day for the entire year. We'll see how far I get, and I'm sure there'll be some dull times, but it should be fun. Although quite how I'm going to take any while my camera is being fixed I'm not sure.

TheDiet Chronicles Documents an example of healthy eating or rather mindful eating. An idea of a way one "could" eat as a means to eat healthy and enjoy the process. As black belts and martial artist we are aware that Heart Disease is the number one cause of death among Americans and 1 out of 3 people will develop Type 2 Diabetes. It only makes sense then to make Healthy Eating a part of any self-defense program. Statistics show more people will be hurt by what's on their plate than they ever will be by a punch, kick, throw, or grappling match. Learning martial art techniques is important but where it stops the self-discipline of eating healthy and mindfully begins. Just an idea we explore and one that I ask my students to explore as well.

Monday, May 10th - Ah. Leaving Preston bound for Glossop. And now back to travel jitters. Will I make my connection in time? Will it be the right train? Will I need to haul my heavy bag up several flights of stairs or will a kind stranger help me? The one thing I was not nervous about was the person waiting me at the other end. Paul and I had meet the year previous in Sedona when he and son had toured the west on their motorcycles and so I knew I would be meeting with an old friend. BTW the answers to the afore mentions questions were: yes, yes and yes. The person that helped me with my bag got one of my cards. More about that later.
Paul and his big smile were there to meet me at the station but also awaiting was--ta dum--a massage. The owner of my B&B, The Bird Nest Cottage, was also a massage therapist. Remember the heavy bag? A massage was just what my back and feet needed along with the sound of a babbling creek outside my window and a "spot of tea". Later that evening Paul, his wife, Chris, and I headed over to their daughter's home for dinner where I was able to meet Lynsey, baby Sofie and Dave. Paul is richly blessed with family and Sofie is absolutely adorable. When they dropped me off at the Bird's Nest, a light rain had begun to fall. My stance with weather had been: "You get what you get and you don't throw a fit". We were meeting up with Mark White, aka, Chalkie, the next day and I had hoped for brilliant sun but meanwhile, I love to walk in the rain and so I walked the streets of Glossop for an hour and loved every soggy moment.
The birds singing and bright pouring through the window were the first clues that my wish had been granted. Not just sun--brilliant sun--just perfect for a visit to Chatsworth House and a chance to meet up with another member of the Flickr Community whom Paul had met previously. After a lovely breakfast at the B&B, we were off and, as usual, driving on the wrong side of the road all the way to Endensor. Chris had kindly packed us a lunch which provided us time to get acquainted followed by a stroll around St. Peters church grounds (stopping by to visit Kathleen Kennedy's grave) and then it was off to photograph Chatsworth House with my old friend, Paul, and my new kindred spirit, Mark.
this shot was taken with a modified matchbox pinhole camera with a focal length of only 4 mm. yep thats right 4mm. the pinhole was so small you can hardly see it. i wanted to see how close to the film i could get and i think 8mm is about the closest you can go with some clarity.
UPDATE: i just removed the pinhole to use for another project and after another measure the focal length is actually more like 3mm. almost touching!
i love experiments = )

Puerto Rican food for breakfast !. The square rectangular thingy is what we call a taco. It's filled with chicken. The long dark thingy is an alcapurria made with plantains and achiote, with a pork filling. Alcapurrias are as Puerto Rican as you can get. And they're soooo good ! #originals #prstories #foodcoma
Being at the beach, my beach, is always a truly great experience. You never really know what you're going to get, and on this trip, this final trip before making the trek north to Portland, I was privileged to be part of multiple beautiful sunsets, such as this one.

As I'm so busy studying for exams at the moment (Friday is my first main one) there is not much time left for fun like taking pictures (which I love to do). I also would love to crochet much more and even sell some of my stuff. I'd like to say thank you for all the kind mails I've been sent in the last few months and the recognition my little outfits get on Barry's stream.
When Cinko today asked me for the umpteenth time to make something for him (so he can join the famous hat club I think) I couldn't resist his three big ugly eyes, so I gave in and asked him what he wanted and which colours he fancied. He answered instantly "I wants a cheeky Choco and Minty outfit. I needs to be ready for the arrivals."
What Cinko wants Cinko gets and after a while I had his new hat and a matching scraf ready. He was over the moon and shouted "I'm so cheeky, I'm so cheeky!". But when I asked him for whoms arrival he has to look so nice, to which he went silent and wouldn't provide any further information.
Cinko has been staying at Barry's the last few days on the lead up to him flying to Cambridge this week with work, so I think the new arrival must be some purchase which Barry likes to post to my address.
There are always things in your life that you just love love doing without even being able to put fingers on why, like travelling for me. Every place I go to teaches me things, tells me stories and philosophies about life, with the nature or architecture or just atmosphere of a street that accumulate wisdom for centuries. So, I can't help travelling with thrill to explore and learn, and heart full of gratitude. And, Alaska has given me so much more than I could ever imagine or dare to ask.
It comes to "crazy" almost everyone knows we are going to Alaska, two wild girls, who don't know what they will get into. And I have to admit that there are moments that I hesitate, and sense this fear that maybe, just maybe, I can't come back. But, when we got there, when we were at the wildest Denali with the most magnificent forest and nature I could even imagine, when we were up the Mt. Mckinley where no life can live, when we were at the glacier after a steep hike or a long sea-sick-involved ride, I can't imagine anything else that can be more "earth-y" than going to Alaska. It is not crazy, it is just so true, so real, so natural. Since when, getting to know the Earth itself, getting so close to the nature itself becomes crazy? And in Alaska, I have never felt so free. I can hear the calling inside my heart. The wild voice of my heart is finally loud enough to be heard, or maybe just the surrounding is finally quite enough to let myself be heard. The voice says I am free, I belong to no one, my life belong to no one, no rule. I always don't like going to the zoo, because it makes me sad to see all the animals trapped in cages. Alaska makes me feel wonderful in a way that we human don't own the Earth, because for some part of it, we are just visitors. And I almost appreciate the fear that I feel sometimes, because I am in awe of the nature and species that live there in their own way. And it makes me wonder, aren't we actually living in some kind of zoo we build by our narrow mind? We are trapped by others' opinions and expectations. We are exhibits that are being observed by so many standards. Mostly, we are grounded by ourselves, to play safe. It seems, following our true heart is something wild, something too adventurous, or even, crazy.
In Alaska, I feel, sexy and free. :-)
Not only in Alaska, but particularly in Alaska, I learn that if you want to see something other people don't see, if you want something differently extraordinary, you need to take more difficult hike, risk, or fight, you need to be spontaneous, adventurous and brave. You need to give to get. Alaska is always gracious to people who are willing to give to explore. And every time, we ended up at those anonymous but gorgeous place where there was just the two of us, we screamed that it's so beautiful and took loads of pictures, and then we just went silent admiring and just kept speechless for a long time. I am sure there are so many other people who have also found those "secret" places too, but at that moment, it felt like I am watching the show that Alaska put on for just us, in return of our desire to explore.
In Alaska, I feel, I can give to get and I want to give to get. I feel I was embracing life. I feel I was giving the warmest hug to myself that has been lost and trapped and hurt. I feel that I found the deepest happiness, strength and desire of myself, that has always been there but has never been heard.
Most importantly, a wonderful accompany is as important as a wonderful destination. Many many many thanks to dear Laura for the most comfortable, relaxing, exciting, breath-taking, and well-feeding;-) trip.

*Note: I've geotagged all of these pics in this set as being at the entrance, because unless you take a tour starting from the Infinity Science Center, that's as close as you'll get, and it's impossible now for me to figure out where more precisely, in the non-GoogleMapped campus, just where everything was, so that's close enough. :)

House of the Teutonic Order
The House of the Teutonic Order was as a Viennese commandry of the in 1198 in Acre founded Teutonic Order under Duke Leopold VI in the early years of the 13th Century built. The German Order was next to the Hospitallers and the Templars the third major order of knights of the Middle Ages. Duke Leopold gave him the large area between Stephansplatz, Churhausgasse, Singerstraße and blood alley (Blutgasse). Documentarily proven is the existence of the house from 1222. Here resided the Landkomtur (province commanders) of the Bailiwick of Austria, to which the commandries Vienna, Wiener Neustadt, Graz, Friesach and Groß-Sonntag (Krain) belonged. In the great fire of 1258 all the religious buildings except the church tower burned down. In the Middle Ages the complex of the German monastic house was limited to the area along the Singerstraße and Blutgasse. 1309 exchanged the Order part of the land that was needed for the extension of Stephen's cemetery against a neighboring area. The sprawling building had in its, the Stephansplatz adjacent part a large farm yard, which was surrounded by stables. Since 1526 the Head of the Order bore the title "Grand and German master (Hoch- und Deutschmeister)". The famous Viennese house regiment of the same name by the way in 1696 emerged from those Truppenkontigenten (contigent of troops) which the Order for the Turkish war had provided. After the first Turkish siege of Vienna, numerous residents of the suburbs whose houses had been burned were housed here. From 1667 the already dilapidated buildings were torn down with the exception of the church under the Landkomtur (province commander) Gottfried Freiherr von Lambert and provided by Carlo Canevale with three-storey new buildings. As plasterers Jacob Schlag and Simon Alio were mentioned. 1679/82 increased Canevale and Johann Bernhard Ceresola the complex.
Sala terrena. In the years 1720-1725 the German religious house under the Landkomtur Guidobald Starhemberg by Anton Erhard Martinelli was further extended and baroquised. In 1785 it received under Landkomtur Alois Graf Harrach by placing a fourth storey its present shape. In the 18th Century several fires caused major damages. Especially those of 1735 raged for three days, because the urban fighting personnel the entry was denied by the German Order of Knights. Among the prominent residents of the German religious house, which in the 18th and 19th century first also as a guest house of the Order served and then was largely rented, included Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1781), Johannes Brahms (1863 - 1865) and the comedy writer Cornelius Hermann Paul von Ayrenhoff. At the beginning of the 19th Century on Stephansplatz the German Order Cellar (Deutschordenskeller) was opened. Was in its place in the second half of the 20th Century the Restaurant "Deutsches Haus". Since 1809 the German religious house is the residence of the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order. Until then, this one resided in Mergentheim (Baden-Württemberg). From 1864 the Landkomtur Eugen Graf von Haugwitz the church by the cathedral architect from Gran, Josef Lippert, partially had re-gothicised. At that time at the gable above the church windows the already damaged pinnacles and figures were removed. Only the Grand Master coat of arms was left. 1929 the community of the German Teutonic Knights was transformed into a purely religious order. It is one of the very few religious institutions whose top management is not located in Rome. First Grand Master living in Vienna was Archduke Anton Viktor (1804 - 1835).
Church - interior. The House of the Teutonic Order is now a sprawling complex of buildings, grouped around two courtyards. The façade at the Blutgasse is the oldest. Those at the Singerstraße stems from the 17th Century. It represents today the face side of the building. The structuring of the façade by high Baroque inonic giant pilasters followed around 1720. The ground floor is grooved. The two early-Baroque round-arched portals are framed with Tuscan pilasters. The simple façades of the courtyards are held in the style of the 17th Century. On the west side of the pentagonal courtyard on the ground floor walled arched arcades as well as glazed Pawlatschen (access galleries) from the 19th Century on the first floor can be seen. In the courts were various, in 1903 discovered grave plates placed. The ground floor rooms are vaulted, early Baroque lunette barrels and groin vaults prevailing. Among them is the Sala terrene, a with a flat dome vaulted central room which is decorated with illusionistic wall paintings of the late 18th Century. The wall and ceiling frescoes depict mythological scenes and figural ornaments. The hall was once opened to the garden through a portal, but this was later reworked into a window. The tract between Stephansplatz and Blutgasse encloses two two-aisled halls. While the cross vault of the first ones is resting on sturdy pillars is those of the other ones supported by Tuscan columns. In the partially with Rococo and Neoclassical stucco ceilings provided rooms of the first floor are located the library and archives of the Order with documents and books dating back to the 12th Century. Some beautifully crafted wood cabinets were personally manufactured by the Grand and Deutschmeister Archduke Eugen. In the treasure chamber on the second floor are in addition to religious insignias and paintings, inter alia, parts of the Kunstkammer (Art chamber) of the Grand Master Archduke Maximilian III of Austria from the time about 1600 exposed.
Church - Empore. Attention getter and center of the tract at the Singerstraße are the three tall lancet windows of the church of the Teutonic Order. The first chapel already in 1258 fell victim to a town fire. From 1326 it was replaced by Jörg von Schiffering by a new building yet today the core of the Church of the Teutonic Order forming. At that time this one was still but free on three sides. In 1375 it was dedicated to St. Elizabeth. Guidobald Starhemberg 1720/22 the Chapel had remodelled in the Baroque style and flanked at both longitudinal sides by newly built religious houses, by which the three stained glass windows became the central projection of the House of the Teutonic Order. Presumably Anton Erhard Martinelli also was involved in the planning. The quite gothical appearing church facade is a beautiful example of the baroque tinge of the time after the Gothic period of 18th Century, unique in Austria. In the neo-Gothic restoration of 1864/68 the Baroque dome of the narrow and high tower was replaced by a pointed Gothic helmet. After the church was severely damaged in 1945 by bomb hits, followed its restoration 1946/47. Its vaults possess Gothic stucco decorations. In the Baroque reconstruction in the corners eight galleries were built-in, which are accessible from the apartments situated behind. The Dutch polyptych (1520) comes from Mechelen, but was until 1864 in the St. Mary's Church of Danzig. The altarpiece was created in 1667 by Tobias Pock. In the four corners of the room Evangelists Statues by Johann Hutter (1864) replace the missing sculptures by Giovanni Giuliani from the year 1721. On the walls hang several grave slabs, including an epitaph of the scholar Johannes Cuspinian (1515) and the by Jacob Schletterer created grave monument of the Landkomtur Josef Philipp Graf Harrach. Most of the more than eighty coats of arms of German knights, covering the upper part of the walls were designed by Johann Andreas Frank 1722.

It was a hot day again today. The night isn't much cooler. This bench has been here for as long as I can remember. I remember a lot of things. More than I want to. I learned the survival strategy of ignoring memories and suppressing emotions they carry at a young age. Now I'm unlearning. Remembering and feeling. Accepting the past as un-changeable. Admitting the heartache of neglect and betrayal instead of shrugging it aside with statements such as "it happens." Most importantly, through claiming my heartache, I'm recognizing what I need. What I needed then and didn't get. And what I need now. Instead of calling myself weak or needy because of these needs, I'm calling myself human. I've been trimming away at what I need and taking what little I can get since I was a small child. It kept me alive for all of it and shipped me off to where I am today. But I'm not moving anymore with it. I've been stalling for years now in bad love relationships and a bad relationship with myself. I'm converting to cleaner energy. I deserve what I need. I am not weak for it. I will no longer accept less than what I need. I'll no longer feel bad for rotting excuses people have for acting like selfish jerks. The past is decaying in our minds. The future is a fantasy. We only have the air we're breathing now.
