West Bagborough lies about six miles North of Taunton in Somerset. The village is tucked into the slope of the Quantock Hills and toward the lower end of the village the parish church dedicated to Saint Pancras can be found. One has to leave ones car by the lychgate and then follow a path for about 200yds up to the church.
The church could be described as a shrine to the work of Sir John Ninian Comper. In the period between the First and Second World Wars he designed much of the stained glass that can be found in the church, the Rood across the chancel arch and the decorated font cover. It is a pity that some of this work is beginning to show signs that conservation is needed to preserve the items for future generations. I can understand that a rural congregation may have limited resources for this but I personally feel that the items by Comper are of national importance.
This church has taken me several visits to get the pictures I wanted. Therefore the viewer may find that pictures have different dates for when they were taken. I hope that the pictures I have taken adequately record this church and its treasures.
This picture shows the Eastern window of the three windows in the North aisle of the church. The window was designed by Sir Ninian Comper. The window depicts two major figures in English church history; on the left the figure represents Saint Edward the Confessor and on the right the figure represents Saint Thomas Becket. The chicken wire that can be seen across Saint Thomas Becket's arms at the top right is there to prevent birds getting into the church when that section of the window is opened.

Uluru and Kata Tjuta lie near the southern margin of the Amadeus Basin that first formed about 900 million years ago and received deposition until about 300 million years ago.
The older sediments in the Amadeus Basin were deformed and folded about 550 million years ago, and mountain ranges were uplifted in an event the geologists call the Petermann Ranges Orogeny. At this time there were no vegetation and the bare mountains eroded easily. Huge amounts of sediment formed alluvial fans adjacent to the ranges. It is the remains of at least two of these alluvial fans that are seen today as Uluru and Kata Tjuta. The site of Kata Tjuta was closer to the mountain ranges and coarse gravels were deposited whereas only sand reached the site of Uluru. The sand was rich in feldspar and is often referred to as arkose.
Subsequently about 500 million years ago a shallow sea covered the region. The alluvial fans of sandstone and conglomerate were at least 2.5km thick and were gradually covered by sand and mud. The Uluru feldspathic sand was compressed and cemented into sandstone and the coarse gravels of Kata Tjuta into conglomerate.
The sea receded between 400 and 300 million years ago and the rocks were folded and fractured. This second major folding is called the Alice Springs Orogeny. It raised the region above sea level. The horizontal layers of the Uluru arkose were folded and turned nearly 90 degrees to their present position. The Kata Tjuta conglomerates were tilted only about 15 to 20 degrees from the horizontal. The rocks at the surface eroded rapidly. This erosion continues at a slower rate.
A broad valley developed between Uluru and Kata Tjuta around 65 million years ago and was partly filled with river sands and swamp deposits. At that time the climate was wet. Only during the past 500,000 years has the climate become drier and a thin blanket of wind-blown sand covered the sediments.
Uluru and Kata Tjuta are therefore the visible tips of rocks that extend far beneath the surface.
The sculptured shapes are likely to be a combination of mechanical erosion of sand from the rock and other events such as chemical changes caused by moisture.
The major valleys of Kata Tjuta may reflect fractures that formed during the Alice Springs Orogeny. Chemical weathering due to ground water widened the fissures and rainwater run-off gradually formed the canyons and domes we see today.
Unlike Kata Tjuta, there are no major joints and fractures visible in Uluru. Water erosion formed the valleys in the arkose on the southern side of Uluru. Rain run-off formed the steep valleys with potholes and plunge pools, often in series. On the north-west side water and weathering has produced parallel raised ridges outlining the sedimentary layers of Uluru.
The flaky surface of Uluru results from the chemical decay of minerals. The characteristic rusty colour of the exposed surface of these flakes is caused by the oxidation or rusting of the iron in the arkose. The fresh arkose is a grey colour.
As the surface rocks are heated and cooled, the release of pressure produces fissures parallel to the rock surfaces. These fissures are visible on Uluru and near the summits of some of the Kata Tjuta domes. Eventually these large "plates" of rock break away.
Scientists still debate the formation of the caves at Uluru. Some say they can begin with water lying in dimples in the rock. The weathering process can then form a hollow and gradually 'eats' backward and upward into the rock until it becomes a cave. Others say that the 'high' caves on the southern side of Uluru may have begun by water soaking in when the plain surface was at a higher level. Once soaked, the weathering process could again eat upward and backward to form a cave. The spaced high caves on the north-eastern and western faces may have begun by the flaking process and honeycombed out by wind and water over time.

The Creighton Dance Company performed their Fall 2003 recital on the Mainstage of the Lied Education Center for the Arts on the Creighton University campus. The program contained a mix of ballet, jazz, tap and modern dance. The choreographers for the performance were Lisa Carter, Amy Herman, Patrick Roddy, Ronnie DeMarco and Mary Waugh-Taylor. The Creighton Dance Company (formerly A Company of Dancers) was organized in 1975 by Valerie Roche.

I couldn't help but notice this new billboard on the edge of town. What the hell? I have lived here all my life and I don't know this adventure they speak of. I think I need to call city hall and tell them I don't appreciate them keeping secrets from me.

Jørn Lier Horst (født 27. februar 1970 i Bamble på Telemarkskysten) regnes som en av Norges fremste kriminalforfattere. Han er bosatt i Stavern og arbeider som etterforskningsleder ved politiet i Vestfold. Hans erfaring med miljøet og metodene han skriver om gir romanene et svært realistisk og autentisk preg. Bøkene kjennetegnes samtidig av politiske og samfunnskommenterende underteksten.

The Creighton Lied Art Gallery, in the Lied Education Center for the Arts (LECA) on the Creighton campus presents an exhibit of paintings and architecture drawings by Omaha architect Thomas Prinz in 2002
Prinz holds a Master of Architecture from the Southern California Institute of Architecture and a Bachelor of Science in Architectural Studies from the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. He is currently a principal partner in Arc-Studio, an Omaha "digital darkroom" for computer generated three-dimensional design and multimedia visual arts. Prinz’s painting is done in a studio in Hot Shops at 13th and Nicolas Streets in Omaha.
