Sign on the LaSalle Hotel, 302 South Main Street, Helper, Utah. This building dates from 1922, and the hotel was on the upper floors while the ground floor held various businesses throughout the years. The hotel mainly catered to railroad workers. Today the building stands vacant. It is part of the Helper Downtown Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places.
This little yearling gator is still living at home, sharing Mom's gator hole and enjoying her vigilant protection. (All sorts of things like to eat baby alligators!) But he hunts for himself, as he has since he hatched. He had caught a frog, and was just sitting and resting with it by the side of the pool. A few minutes later we saw him slide into the water, but continue to just rest hanging onto the frog. One of the naturalists we heard mentioned that this is common behavior and explained it by saying that the spurt of energy gators put on when hunting takes a lot out of them, and they need to rest before feeding.
This little guy is benefiting from the rich concentration of fish and amphibians that have come to share Mom's gator hole, here towards the end of the winter-long dry season in the Everglades. Adult gators gradually scoop out these holes over many seasons by thrashing their bodies, so each gator lives in its own, custom-made home. During the dry season these gator holes serve as refugia for everything in the Everglades that needs water -- that is, just about everything. Naturally, the gator welcomes its guests with open arms; they constitute a well-stocked larder. Then, when the summer rains come, the survivors repopulate the vast, re-flooded river of grass. The gator hole is thus an essential part of the Everglades ecosystem.
There were two sizes of young in the gator hole: this years babies and the larger ones from last year's brood; this is one of the latter.
St Margaret took some finding. Despite it being clearly marked from the centre of the village, the lane takes the visitor past a meditation centre then beside a golf course. All with no sign of the church.
On first attempt, I turned the car round and went back, but no sign of the church could be seen.
I gave up, but hoped a warden at Tottiscliffe could help.
And indeed she did.
Upon turning into the lane, there is a wall on your left, and on the wall is a small sign pointing to the church along a long and narrow grassy lane.
I drove up the 400 yards to the lych gate, parked and found the church open, and a family of cyclists also enjoying it.
The church features many brasses and memorials to investigate and record. Also a good feature.
-------------------------------------------
The church was built on a narrow promontory a long way from the centre of its village and is entered through a porch with pretty bargeboards. The Norman aisleless nave was extended to the west when the present tower was built in the fifteenth century, and the former outside corner of the Norman building may be clearly seen. The Victorians heavily restored the interior but the south chapel still contains much of interest, notably the Watton memorial of 1653 which blocks the former east window, the outline of which may be seen outside. This chapel also has a good contemporary painted ceiling.

ADDINGTON.
NORTHWARD from Ofham lies Addington, written in Domesday and antient charters, Eddingtune, signifying, as I imagine, the town or territory of Adda, or Edda, its antient Saxon owner; tun in Saxon being a town or territory inclosed with a hedge or fence.
THE PARISH of Addington is not unpleasantly situated, for the greatest part on high ground, adjoining to the northern side of the Maidstone road, at the twenty-seventh mile stone, at a small distance from which is the small rivulet which rises at Nepecker, in Wrotham, and flowing through this parish is here called Addington brook, whence the new-built house near it takes its name of St. Vincent's, alias Addington brook, built some years ago by admiral William Parry, who resided in it till his death in 1779, he left by Lucy his wife, daughter of Charles Brown, esq. commissioner of the navy at Chatham, an only daughter, who carried it in marriage to captain William Locker, the present lieutenant-governor of Greenwich hospital. It was lately inhabited by Mr. William Hunter, but is now unoccupied.
Hence the ground rises, and at a small distance above it is the mansion and garden of Addington place, pleasantly situated on the side of the hill, having a lawn and avenue down to the road, from which it is a conspicuous object, behind it still higher stands the church and village, built round Addington green, over which the road leads from Trottesclive, to which and Wrotham this parish joins towards the west. The soil is a sand covering the quarry rock, but the land is most of it but poor and unfertile, especially towards the north and west parts of it, where the sand is deepest; in the latter is a small green called Addington common.
Here is an eelbourn, or nailbourn, as they are commonly called, the stream of which breaks out with great impetuosity once in seven or eight years, which then directs its waters along a trench, dug for this purpose, till it flows into the Leyborne rivulet, the trout of which it makes of a red colour, which otherwise are white.
These nailbourns, or eruptions of water, are very common in the eastern part of Kent, where the reason of their breaking forth will be particularly mentioned.
In a place here, called the Warren, about five hundred paces north-eastward from the church, on a little eminence, there are the remains of several large stones, placed in an oval form; seventeen of them may be easily traced, though from the distances between the stones, which are nearly equal, there must have been at least twenty to complete the oval, which consisted of only one row of stones. The sandiness of the soil has covered many of them, which can, only by guessing their distances, be found by thrusting of a stick into the ground. Such of the stones as have fallen down, have been carried away by the inhabitants for different uses. The stones are of the same kind as those of Stonehenge, and being placed in the same form, seem as if they were intended for the same use. (fn. 1)
About one hundred and thirty paces to the northwest of the above is another heap of large stones, tum- bled inwards one upon another. They originally consisted of six in number, and in circuit measure thirty-three paces.
SOON AFTER the conquest, this place was become part of the possessions of Odo, bishop of Baieux and earl of Kent, the Conqueror's half-brother, under the general title of whose lands it is thus entered in the survey of Domesday, taken about the year 1080.
Ralf (son of Turald) holds Eddintune of the bishop (of Baieux) for half a suling. The arable land is one carucate, and there is . . . with four borderers, and two servants, and there is one mill of twenty-three shillings. The whole manor was valued at four pounds. In the time of king Edward the Confessor, it was worth but little. Lestan held it of king Edward, and after his death turned himself over to Alnod Cilt, and now it is in dispute.
And a little further thus:
Ralf, son of Turald, holds Eddintune of the bishop (of Baieux). It was taxed at two sulings and an half. The arable land is five carucates, in demesne there are two, and six villeins, with nine borderers, having one carucate. There is a church and ten servants, and two mills of eleven shillings and two-pence, and twelve acres of meadow, wood for the pannage of ten hogs. In the time of king Edward the Confessor it was worth eight pounds, when he received it one hundred shillings, now six pounds. Agelred held it of king Edward.
These were plainly, by the descriptions, two separate estates, and both certainly, by their names, in this parish, and held by the same person. On the disgrace of the bishop of Baieux, about four years afterwards, they became, among the rest of his possessions, confiscated to the crown. Soon after which they seem to have been held as one manor, by William de Gurnay, and afterwards by Galiena de Gurnay, his grandchild; they were succeeded in the possession of this place by the family of Mandeville, or De Magna Villa, as the name was written in Latin, who held it of the family of Montchensie, as capital lords of the fee.
But this family was extinct here in the next reign of king Edward II. for Roger del Escheker was owner of it in the 7th year of it, (fn. 2) who assumed his name from his hereditary office of usher of the exchequer, whence he was called del Eschequer, de la Chekere, and de Scaccario. (fn. 3) John de la Chekere possessed it in the first year of king Edward III. in which he was succeeded by Nicholas de Daggeworth, (fn. 4) whose ancestor, John de Daggeworth, had married Maud, one of the sisters and coheirs of Simon del Exchequer. At the accession of king Richard II. he was made of his privy council, and afterwards steward of his houshold, keeper of the great seal, and treasurer of England. (fn. 5) He bore for his arms, Sable, a lion rampant, argent, crowned or, with proper difference.
In the 20th year of king Edward III. he paid aid for this manor, which Robert de Scaccario before held in Addington, of Warine de Montchensie, as of his manor of Swanscombe. He alienated it, before the end of that reign, to Sir Hugh de Segrave, knight batchelor, and he conveyed it to Richard Charles, who died in the 2d year of king Richard II. anno 1378, and lies buried in this church, leaving his brother's sons, Richard and John, his next heirs.
Richard Charles, the eldest brother, possessed this manor, whose son, Robert Charles, dying without manor, whose son, Robert Charles, dying without issue, his two sisters became his coheirs, Alice, married to William Snayth, and Joane to Richard Orme- skirke; and upon the division of their inheritance, this manor fell to the share of William Snayth, commonly called Snette, sheriff in the 9th year of king Henry IV. who kept his shrievalty at his manor-house of Addington, bearing for his arms, Argent, a chevron between three birds heads erased, sable; two years after which he died, and was buried, with Alice his wife, in this church. He left an only daughter and heir Alice, who carried this manor, with the rest of his estates, in marriage to Robert Watton, who thenceforward resided at Addington. He was descended from ancestors, who held lands in the parish of Ridley in the 20th year of king Edward III. and bore for his arms, Argent, a lion rampant, gules, debruised with a bend, sable, charged with three cross-croslets fitchee, argent. He died possessed of the manor, and patronage of the church of Addington in the year 1444, anno 23 king Henry VI. and was buried in this church.
His descendant, Thomas Watton, esq. of Addington, procured his lands in this county to be disgavelled by the act of 2d and 3d of king Edward VI. and in his descendants, residents at this place, who on their deaths were all buried in this church, (fn. 6) and his manor, with the patronage of this church, continued down to Edmund Watton, esq. of Addington, who left an only daughter and heir Elizabeth, who marrying Leonard Bartholomew, second son of Leonard Bartholomew, esq. of Oxenhoath, entitled him to this estate. He had by her two sons; Edmund, who died unmarried; and Leonard, who will be mentioned hereafter. On his death she again became possessed of this estate, which she carried in marriage to her second husband, Sir Roger Twisden, bart. of Bradbourn, whom she likewise survived, and dying in 1775, was succeeded in it by her only surviving son by her first husband, Leonard Bartholomew, esq. who resides at Addington-place, where he served the office of sheriff in 1790, bearing for his arms, Or, three goats erased sable. He married the daughter of Mr. Wildash, of Chatham, widow of Mr. Thornton, of East-Malling, by whom he has an only daughter, married in 1797 to the hon. captain John Wingfield, brother to the lord viscount Powerscourt, of the kingdom of Ireland.
There is a court leet and court baron held for this manor, which is held of the manor of Swanscombe by castle-guard to the castle of Rochester.
CHARITIES.
A PERSON UNKNOWN gave to the use of the poor the annual sum of 15s. arising from land vested in Leonard Bartholomew, esq. and now of that annual product.
ADDINGTON is within the ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION of the diocese of Rochester and deanry of Malling.
The church has a handsome tower steeple at the west end. It is dedicated to St. Margaret. The present building was erected in 1403, as appears by the following inscription on the wall of it:
In fourteen hundred and none,
Here was neither stick nor stone;
In fourteen hundred and three,
The goodly building which you see.
The church of Addington has always been an appendage to the manor, and as such this rectory is now in the patronage of Leonard Bartholomew, esq.
It is endowed with all tithes whatsoever.
It is valued in the king's books at 6l. 6s. 8d. and the yearly tenths at 12s. 8d.
William de Gurnay gave to the church and priory of St. Andrew, in Rochester, in pure and perpetual alms, certain tithes of the demesnes of his parish of Edintune; but they lying so dispersed, that they could not be conveniently gathered by the monks, though they could be easily collected by the parson of this church: therefore it was agreed, that the parson of it should pay the yearly sum of five shillings to the monks of Rochester, on St. Andrew's day, for them. (fn. 7)
This pension, after the dissolution of the priory in the 31st year of king Henry VIII. was surrendered into the king's hands, who granted it two years afterwards by his dotation charter, to his new-erected dean and chapter of Rochester, to which it continues to be paid at this time.
¶It appears by the endowment of the vicarage of Hadlow, in this county, in 1287, that the rector of that parish had been used, beyond memory, to pay yearly the sum of eighteen-pence to the rector of this church, which payment the vicar of Hadlow was enjoined to pay in future. (fn. 8)

Trevi nel Lazio is a town and comune of the province of Frosinone in the Italian region of Lazio in the upper valley of the Aniene river. It is 17 km by road NE of Fiuggi and 23 km by road SE of Subiaco, the nearest larger towns. The town first makes its appearance as Treba, a place of the Aequi, and later was called Treba Augusta to help distinguish it from Trebiae (Trevi in Umbria). The town was a bishopric from 499 to 1060; in the 15th century, it was sacked by Alfonso V of Aragon.In August 2011 the Italian government had made plans to merge the village with neighbouring Filettino, in order to cut administrative costs, but they were interrupted by the protestations of the mayor of the village, Luca Sellari, who announced his village would become its own independent principality, in order to preserve its identity.The Aniene River is a 98 km river in Lazio, Italy. It flows down from the mountains at Trevi nel Lazio and goes westward past Subiaco, Vicovaro, and Tivoli into the Tiber. In antiquity, most of the Roman aqueducts had their sources either from the Aniene or from streams flowing into it.The Monti Simbruini are a mountain range in central Italy, part of Apennines, on the border between the Lazio and Abruzzo regions. They border with the Monti Cantari and the Ciociaria.The name derives from the Latin sub imbribus ("under the rain"). They are also popularly known as "Rome's Alps". The highest peak is the Monte Cotento (2,015 m).The River Aniene has its source within in the range.The Regional Park of the Monti Simbruini was founded on January 29, 1983.
L’antico abitato di Trevi nel Lazio, arroccato sul colle la Civita, è caratterizzato dall’imponente Castello Caetani del XII-XIII secolo, conserva un assetto che potrebbe definirsi romano in quanto sono riconoscibili il cardo e il decumano maggiori. Trevi, infatti, nel Medioevo, per la sua particolare posizione geografica a difesa dell’alta valle dell’Aniene, si adattò alla costruzione di un castello fortificato, posto su uno sperone di roccia calcarea, nella piazza principale della Civita. Il castello faceva parte di un sistema difensivo che comprendeva anche due cinta di mura, una più antica (forse parzialmente risalente al 300 a. C.) che circonda Civita, e una più recente ed omogenea (forse rinascimentale). Il castello, che si erge imponente su un masso di roccia compatta, comprende un’area di circa mq. 800, con mura alte dai 12 ai 16 metri, spessi alla base almeno un metro, composti di pietra calcarea e di cardellina squadrata . E’ composto di tre parti principali: la zona sui fronti nord e ovest, ad uso di abitazione del “signore”; la zona sui fronti sud ed est, ad uso prevalentemente militare difensivo, con accesso alla porta ovest; il Maschio. Il castello aveva quindi, funzione residenziale e difensiva. Dalla cima del mastio si può osservare buona parte dell’alta valle dell’Aniene. Notizie storiche dirette se ne hanno poche; deve risalire almeno al XIII secolo. Sicuramente vi abitarono i Caetani; dopo fu abitato dai castellani. Nel 1299 vi dimorò papa Bonifacio VIII, per un breve periodo di riposo. Nel XIV secolo, i Caetani, che occuparono stabilmente il castello per due secoli, ne curarono l’ampliamento, predisponendo ambienti adatti ad essere abitati. Oggi grazie ad un lungo e paziente lavoro di restauro, questo castello, che un tempo rappresentava uno dei più importanti domini dell’Abbazia di Subiaco per popolazione e vastità di territori, è visitabile.
Trevi nel Lazio è un comune di circa 2.000 abitanti (Trebani, da Treba Augusta l'antico nome romano della città) della provincia di Frosinone, situato nell'alta Valle dell'Aniene, fiume che attraversa la vallata circostante alla cittadina, formando le caratteristiche Cascate di Trevi. Uno dei luoghi d'interesse storico-culturale del comune è senz'altro il Castello Caetani (XI secolo), situato sul punto più alto della cittadina, che svetta nella valle circostante, rendendo Trevi nel Lazio facilmente e piacevolmente riconoscibile agli occhi del visitatore.Si trova nell'alta valle del fiume Aniene che qui forma le caratteristiche Cascate di Trevi.Il territorio comunale si trova a cavallo della tra i monti Simbruini a nord ed i monti Ernici a sud.La zona apparteneva al territorio meridionale degli Equi e alla conquista da parte dei Romani entrò a far parte della tribù Aniensis (dell'Aniene), istituita nel 299 a.C.All'occupazione romana si collegò probabilmente lo sviluppo di un possibile precedente oppidum equo, con la costruzione di diversi edifici monumentali nel III e II secolo a.C.: un santuario extra-urbano di cui restano i depositi votivi, le mura in opera quadrata che racchiudevano un perimetro ristretto, relativo all'acropoli cittadina, con funzioni anche di terrazzamento monumentale[6] e un tempio di cui restano alcuni capitelli ionico-italici, uno dei quali è reimpiegato nella chiesa di Santa Maria Assunta come fonte battesimale; il tempio era probabilmente eretto su un terrazzamento artificiale con muri di contenimento in opera poligonale che sorge subito fuori dalla "Porta maggiore".In epoca tardo repubblicana fu un municipio, come attesta un'iscrizione, con il nome di Treba e poi Treba Augusta. In epoca successiva sulle pendici rivolte alla valle dell'Aniene si impiantarono ville su terrazze in opera quadrata.Appartenne alla prima delle regioni dell'Italia augustea[9]. Nel suo territorio aveva origine l'acquedotto dell'Acqua Marcia.Fu sede di una diocesi (diocesi di Trevi nel Lazio), che venne incorporata nel 1088 in quella di Anagni.
Il feudo venne concesso da papa Alessandro IV al nipote, Rinaldo de Rubeis, nel 1257 e passò quindi nel 1262, sotto papa Urbano IV, al monastero di Subiaco. Tornò a Rinaldo de Rubeis nel 1264 sotto papa Clemente IV. Nel 1302 fu acquistato da Pietro Caetani, fratello del papa Bonifacio VIII e rimase in possesso della famiglia Caetani fino alla loro cacciata nel 1471 ad opera della popolazione locale.
Papa Sisto IV nel 1473 assegnò nuovamente Trevi al monastero di Subiaco, sotto la cui giurisdizione temporale rimase fino al 1753, sotto papa Benedetto XV e fu in seguito sottoposta direttamente al governo pontificio. La storia locale iniziò ad essere indagata a cavallo tra Seicento e Settecento.
Durante l'occupazione napoleonica fece prima parte del dipartimento del Circeo della Repubblica Romana (1798-1799), con capoluogo Anagni, e poi del dipartimento del Tevere (1809-1810) o dipartimento di Roma (1810-1814) annesso all'Impero francese, dal 1812 nell'arrondissement di Frosinone.Nel riordino amministrativo di papa Pio VII nel 1816, entrò a far parte della delegazione di Frosinone e all'interno di questa fu sottoposto al governatore di Guarcino. Dopo la scomparsa dello Stato Pontificio nel 1870 entrò a far parte del Regno d'Italia, nel circondario di Frosinone della provincia di Roma. Nel 1872 il consiglio comunale decise per la denominazione di Trevi nel Lazio. Nel 1927 entrò a far parte della allora istituita provincia di Frosinone.

My aunt gave me a Christmas gift-card to Sear's. ($25) And I saw that they have a new DS game I kinda want. But now McKenna entered my life (XD) and I really want her....I would have $95 saved for her with the gift-card. I'm already saving for Marie-Grace & Cecile. I'm going to go to the AGP (Dallas) in May 2012, and I could 'give' the girl-card to my mom and she could give me that $25 to AGP funds. I know she could find something on there....What do y'all think??
SOOC, no watermark this time. ;-)
I was taking a picture of my poor little princess out in the woods and my little sis and I were posing her on a log that was sitting in a little pond and she fell off into the water and lost her arm :(
If any one has a spare 23cm obitsu white left arm please let me know. Lily and I would be so grateful.

I need to watch my kids around my coffee, I remember a few years back after roasting a nice batch of beans I woke up one morning to half of them in the bath tub and the other half out the back door :(
That was Chaos living up to her name :)
This particular day Tickles was being pretty helpful, gave me a hand putting the cooled beans into a tin, half ended up on the ground and I am sure i have a bit of extra grit with my beans but hey, it all adds to the unique flavour I suppose
