grand canyon lodge _ 04 _ north rim by Marc

5 2

Presented is a series of images of the Grand Canyon Lodge, the venerable hotel on the North Rim of Arizona’s Grand Canyon, in Grand Canyon National Park. The Grand Canyon, one of the world’s most spectacular wonders, received special federal protection beginning in 1886. In 1908, President Theodore Roosevelt elevated the canyon and its surrounding territory to National Monument status, and in 1919 under President Woodrow Wilson, it became a National Park. The South Rim is easily accessible and is the locale familiar to most visitors and tourists. The North Rim is different. It is on the remote Arizona Strip, the last part of the United States to be explored, and which well into the 20th century remained the least accessible and least visited corner of the country. Being on the Kaibab Plateau approximately 1,000 feet higher in elevation than the South Rim, it is also a colder and snowier locale which must be closed to traffic and tourism in the winter. However, “in season”, the North Rim is a land of drama and beauty.

Camping, lodging, and visitor’s services are provided at the North Rim village on Bright Angel Point. The center of the village is its hotel, the Grand Canyon Lodge. The first lodging in that area was Wylee Way Camp, a “mom-and-pop” service established 1917. The North Rim was incorporated into the Grand Canyon National Park in 1921. To provide better services, Wylee Way Camp was acquired in 1927 by the Utah Parks Company, a subsidiary of the Union pacific Railroad, and concessioner for other National Parks. They built a National Parks worthy village, including a hotel, cabins, and other services. The hotel (the Lodge) was designed by Los Angeles architect Gilbert Stanley Underwood (1890-1960), famous for other National Park lodges, railroad stations, and other large scale public buildings. The hotel was constructed from Kaibab limestone and local timbers for an esthetic both grand and rustic. It opened in 1928, but was heavily damaged by a fire in 1932. In those first few years, lessons had been learned about the building, local climate, and the need to withstand winter snow. The Lodge was redesigned to preserve its character but improve the construction, then it was rebuilt then reopened in 1937. In 1987, it was declared a National Historic Landmark. The Lodge is built at the edge of the cliffs at Bright Angel Point. Its rear elements, including porches and verandas and an apse-like Sun Room provide spectacular panoramic views of the Canyon.

Presented are eleven views, eight of the Grand Canyon Lodge, one of the cabins adjacent to the Lodge, and two of a statue in the Lodge. Images 01, 02, and 03 are evening views of the lobby, showcasing its stone and timber construction, its furnishings and architectural accoutrements, and its rustic elegance and Arizona aesthetic. Image 04 is a night view of the Sun Room, a simple but elegant space whose south facing windows reveal stunning daytime views of the Grand Canyon itself. Images 05 and 06 are of the east wing Recreation Room, revealing again the rustic motifs of stone, timber, and Arizona iconography. Image 07 at sunset looks northeast to the west wing (Dining Room and veranda) and the Sun Room. Image 08 is a midday view from the east veranda across the edge of Sun Room to reveal architectural details such as the lamps and buttresses, with the Canyon in the background. Image 09 is not a view of the Lodge, instead one of the rustic cabins adjacent to the Lodge that serve as the actual guest housing. Images 10 and 11 show the statue of Brighty, a burro and legendary figure in the history of the North Rim. Brighty was a famed resident of the Canyon circa 1892-1922, brought there by prospectors, and later providing many services for the camps and visitors, including Wylee Way Camp and President Roosevelt himself. Especially popular with children, Brighty was honored in 1953 by “Brighty of the Grand Canyon”, an award winning children's novel by Marguerite Henry later adapted as a movie in 1967. The bronze statue that commemorates Brighty is in the Sun Room of the Grand Canyon Lodge.

St. Peter-in-Thanet, Kent by Jelltex

1 1

I have been doing the Kent church project for 11 years now, so I thought I knew most churches in Kent and all in East Kent, but just before Christmas a contact posted shots of a church I had not heard of before, St Peter-in-Thanet.

Once life settled down, I tried to arrange a visit before Christmas, that was impossible, but the church will be open every days from 2nd January I was told.

And as I had one more day off, why not start the year with a crawl?

I programmed the sat nav with the post code, and let it guide me to Sandwich then to Ramsgate and across the island via Westwood Cross, with the urban sprawl of Ramsgate and Broadstairs merging into one large town all around.

I saw the tower of St Peter from a mile away, surprisingly large. Nearer, I see that the area declares itself a village, also called St Peter, and there is a traditional village pub opposite.

I point out again at this point, the towns of Ramsgate and Broadstairs merge into one, St Peter is now part of Broadstairs. And indeed was the ancient centre of the town before the resort took off.

I park next to the church, present myself in the large and friendly parish offices next door, and told the church is open.

I just have to find which one of the half dozen doors into the church and vestry is actually unlocked.

I introduce myself, again, and they are happy to let me go around taking shots, whilst they water the multitude of plants. But they do stop to point out interesting details.

Nothing more fabulous that the highly decorated chancel; painted panels on the roof, painted beams, tiles and mosaics.

Even at first glance it is stunning.

-------------------------------------------

The medieval church of Broadstairs, St Peter's stands well inland to serve the original farming community that showed little interest in the coast that was to change the later life of this part of Kent. The tower, however, is easily visible from the sea and was long used as a landmark to shipping, which is why it still flies the White Ensign. Although the church was restored in the nineteenth century by Joseph Clarke and is stamped with the atmosphere he usually managed to create, there is some fine Norman architecture in the five bay aisle arcades (although the central arch in the south arcade is a later insertion into an inexplicable break in the Norman work). The chancel arch is of the thirteenth century and there is a good cut-down sedilia in the sanctuary. The delicate marble font is of eighteenth century date and there are some fine hanging wall tablets of the same period. The stained glass presents a good cross-section of the nineteenth century art, much of it by Heaton, Butler and Bayne.

ST. PETER'S

LIES the next parish south-eastward from St. John's, being so called from the dedication of the church of it to St. Peter. This parish is within the liberty and jurisdiction of the cinque ports, and is an antient member of the town and port of Dover, and though united to it ever since king Edward I.'s reign, yet so late as in that of king Henry VI. it became a dispute, whether this parish was not in the county at large; to take away therefore all doubt of it, that king, by his letters patent, united it to Dover, to which place, in like manner as St. John's above-mentioned, it is subsect in all matters of civil jurisdiction. The mayor of Dover here too appoints one of the inhabitants to be his deputy, who is chosen either yearly, or once in two or three years, at the mayor's pleasure; and to the charges of the sessions formerly held at Margate, this parish and Birchington used to contribute their proportion.

THE PARISH OF ST. PETER is as pleasant and healthy a situation as any in this island, the lands open and uninclosed, the soil a dry chalk, with frequent hill and dale interspersed throughout it. At Sowell hill, in the northern part of the parish, the land is reckoned to be the highest in the island. The village stands on a pleasing eminence, surrounded with trees, which is rather uncommon in these parts, having the church on the north-west side of it; at a little distance southward from which, is a small neat chapel, built by the sect of Methodists. Several genteel families reside in this village, situated about the middle of the parish, which is about two miles and a half across each way, and is bounded by the high chalk cliffs on the sea shore towards the north and east. It seems formerly to have been more populous than it is at present, for there were in the year 1563, as appeared by archbishop Parker's return to the orders of the privy council, one hundred and eighty-six housholds within this parish. Besides the village above mentioned, there are several other small hamlets and houses interspersed throughout it, viz. towards the south, Upton, Brompston, which is now the joint property of Henry Jessard, esq. and Mr. John Grey; Dumpton, great part of which extends into St. Laurence, it belongs to the earl of Hardwick; and Norwood. On the north-west side of the parish is Sacket's-hill, so called from its being the estate of an antient yeomanry family of this name, several of whom lie buried in this church, one of whom, John Sackett, as appears by his will, resided here and died possessed of his estate in this parish in 1444; on it there has been lately built a handsome house by Mr. King, for his summer residence, whose children are now possessed of it. In the northern part of the parish is the hamlet of Reading-street, southward of which is a small forstall, and then Sowell-street. In the eastern part of the parish, close to the cliffs, is Hackendon downe, or banks, where several antiquities have been dug up, as will be further mentioned hereafter; and the hamlet of Stone, formerly the residence of the Pawlyns, and then of the Huggets, where a few years ago Sir Charles Raymond, bart. built a small pleasant seat for his summer residence; Sir Harry Harper, bart. is the present owner of it. Not far from hence there formerly stood a beacon, which used to be fired to alarm the country in case of an invasion; a few years since some remains of the timber of it was dug up on the top of the Beacon-hill, about fifty five rods nearer to Stone than the present light-house.

¶About a mile and an half north-eastward from the church, at the extremity of the chalk cliff, is a point of land called the NORTH FORELAND, (suppofed by most to be the Cantium of Ptolemy) so called to distinguish it from the other Foreland, betwixt Deal and Dover, usually called the South Foreland; it is a promontory, or cape of land, that reaches further into the sea, and is somewhat higher than most of the land herebouts. On the top of it was formerly a house, built of timber, lath, and plaister work, with a large glass lanthorn on the top of it, in which a light was kept to direct ships in the night in their course, that they might keep clear of the Goodwin Sands, which lie off this point, and on which ships are apt to strike before they are aware, on account of their endeavouring to keep clear of this land, which extends so far into the sea. This house being by some accident burnt down in 1683, there was for some time a sort of beacon made use of, on which a light was hoisted; but about the latter end of the last century there was built here a strong house of flint, an octagon, on the top of which was an iron greate, quite open to the air, in which was made a blazing fire of coals. But about the year 1732, the top of this light-house was covered with a sort of lanthorn, with large sash lights, and the fire was kept burning by the help of bellows, which the light-men kept blowing all night. This invention was to save coals, but the sailors complained of it, as being very much to the prejudice of the navigation, many vessels being lost on the Goodwin Sands for want of seeing it, and indeed it was so little seen at sea, that some of the sailors asserted, they had in hazy weather seen the Foreland before they saw the light; whereas, before the lanthorn was placed here, when the fire was kept in the open air, as the wind kept the coals constantly alight, the blaze of it was seen in the air far above the light-house; complaint being made of this, the governors of Greenwich hospital ordered Sir John Thomson to view it, who ordered the lanthorn to be taken away, and the light-house to be made nearly the same as it was before, the light to continue burning all night and till day-light; since which, a few years ago, it was again repaired, and two stories of brick were raised on the former building. The height of it at present, including the small room in which the lights are kept, is somewhat more than one hundred feet; this room, which may be perhaps best described as a done raised on a decagon, is about ten feet in diameter, and twelve feet high; it is coated with copper, as is the gallery round it, to prevent fires. From the gallery there is a very extensive view, of which a conception may be formed from these lights being visible in clear weather at the Nore, which is ten leagues distant; in each of the sides of the decagon, towards the sea, is a patent lamp, kept burning all night, with a reflector and magnifier, the latter being very large. The whole building is white-washed, except the light room on the top; and all the rooms in it are used by the man and his family, who take care of it. (fn. 1) To the repair and maintenance of this light-house, every ship belonging to Great Britain, which sails by this Foreland, is obliged to pay two-pence for each ton; and every foreigner four-pence. It is under the direction of the governors of Greenwich hospital, in whom it is vested. There is a signal house between the North Foreland and Stonehouse, erected in 1795, the establishment of it is a lieutenant and midshipman of the navy, and two men.

Here were two fairs formerly kept every year, one on June 29, being St. Peter's day; and the other on March 25, being Lady-day; but they have for several years past been changed to the 10th of july, and the 5th of April.

The manor of Minster claims paramount over the greatest part of this parish; the landholders holding of it, by a certain rent called Pennygavel. Subordinate to this manor is that of

Near this place, in 1574, a monstrous fish shot himself on shore on a little sand, now called Fishness, where, for want of water it died the next day; before which his roaring was heard above a mile; his length, says Kilburne, was twenty-two yards; the nether jaw opening twelve feet; one of his eyes was more than a cart and six horses could draw; a man stood upright in the place from whence his eye was taken; the thickness from his back to the top of his belly (which lay upwards) was fourteen feet; his tail of the same breadth; the distance between his eyes was twelve feet; three men stood upright in his mouth; some of his ribs were fourteen feet long; his tongue was fifteen feet long; his liver was two cart loads, and a man might creep into his nostril. (fn. 7) There were four whales, or monstrous large fish, towed ashore by the fishermen on this island a few years ago, one of which had been found floating on the sea dead, and was brought to Broadstairs, and measured about sixty feet long, and thirty-eight feet round the middle; its forked tail was fifteen feet wide, its lower jaw nine feet long; it had two rows of teeth, twenty-two in each row, about two inches long; the upper jaw had no teeth, only holes for the lower ones to shut in. It had only one nostril. It had two gills, and the lower jaw shut in about three feet from the end of the nose. It is said this fish sold at Deal for twenty-two guineas.

MANY BRASS COINS of the Roman emperors have been found near Broadstairs, on a fall of the adjoining cliff, after much rain and frost at different times; but they have been so much worn and defaced, as not to be distinguished what they were.

Near the cliffs, about midway between the lighthouse and Kingsgate, are two large barrows, or banks of earth, called by the country people Hackendon, or Hackingdown banks, already noticed before. The tradition is, that these banks are the graves of those English and Danes, which were killed in a fight here; and that as one bank is greater than the other, the former is the place where the Danes were buried, who are said to have been defeated. It is not improbable that this battle referred to in history, was that fought A. D. 853, when the Danes having invaded this island with a considerable force, were attacked by earl Alcher with the Kentish men, and earl Huda with those of Surry, and an obstinate battle was fought, in which the English at first got some advantage, yet were at last deseated; great numbers were killed, among which were the two English generals; and the battle being fought so near the sea, a great many on both sides were pushed into it and drowned.

One of these barrows was opened in 1743, in the presence of many hundred people; a little below the surface of the ground several graves were discovered, cut out of the solid chalk and covered with flat stones; they were not more than three feet long, in an oblong oval form, and the bodies seem to have been thrust into them almost double; a deep trench was dug in the middle, and the bodies laid on each side of it; two of the skulls were covered with wood-coals and ashes. The skeletons seem to have been of men, women, and children, and by the smallness of the latter, these were conjectured to have been unborn.

¶Three urns made of very coarse black earth, not half burnt, one of them holding near half a bushel, were found with them, which crambled into dust on being exposed to the air. The bones were rather of a large size, and for the most part perfectly found. In 1765, the smaller barrow was opened, the appearances were similar to the former, but no urns were found. In memory of this battle, lord Holland erected a fantastic house, or monument, with an inscription, on the larger of the two banks.

THIS PARISH is within the ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION of the diocese of Canterbury, and deanry of Westbere.

The church, which is dedicated to St. Peter, stands on a rising ground. It is a small structure which has something pleasing in the appearance of it. It is built, as the rest of the churches are hereabouts, of flints, covered with rough-cast, and the quoins, windows and doors cased with ashlar stone, only the porch has more workmanship used about it; above are stone battlements; the roof is covered with lead, and the portal or door way has a mitred arch of wrought stone. It consists of a nave with a small isle on each side of it, a large middle chancel, and a smaller one on the north side of it, part of which is now made into a vestry. The middle chancel, which is beautiful, is ceiled in compartments, the framing of which is enriched with carved work, as is the cornice round it. The church is elegantly pewed with wainscot, and has a very handsome desk and pulpit. In the middle isle are two handsome brass chandeliers, which were purchased by subscription, and there is a neat gallery at the west end, well contrived for the convenience of the inhabitants, and the whole is kept in excellent order, and more than usual neatness. At the west end of the middle isle, under the gallery, is a handsome font, of white marble, the gift of John Dekewer, esq. as appears by the inscription, erected in 1746; below the inscription are the arms of Dekewer. At the west end of the north isle stands the tower, which is a sea mark. There were antiently five bells in it, which some years ago were cast into six, the great bell being made into two. The high or middle chancel was beautified about the year 1730, at the expence of Mrs. Elizabeth Lovejoy, lessee of Callis grange; who, out of the profits of that estate, ordered this chancel as well as hers and her husband's monuments in it, to be repaired as often as should be needful; and the sum of twenty shillings to be paid yearly to the clerk, on the day of the anniversary of her death, March 29, as an encouragement for him to take due care of the monuments.

At the west end of the south isle is a room taken off for the school house. In this church were antiently, besides the high altar in the middle chancel, three other altars dedicated to St. James the Apostle, St. Mary of Pity, and St. Margaret. Before these altars, on which were the images of these saints, were wax-lights constantly burning, for the maintenance of which there were several fraternities and legacies left. Several antient monuments and inscriptions are in the body and chancels of this church, the principal ones of which are in the middle or high chancel: Among others, a monument for James Shipton, vicar, obt. 1665; another, for George Lovejoy, first school-master at Islington, then of the king's school at Canterbury, obt. 1685. He lies buried within the altar-rails; arms, Azure, three bars, dancette, or, impaling chequy, azure and or, on a fess, three leopards faces of the second. On a marble against the north wall is an account of the charities given by Mrs. Elizabeth Lovejoy, as follows: By her will and testament, to the mayor and commonalty of the city of Canterbury, her lease of Callis grange, upon trust, to pay yearly to the vicar of this parish, forty pounds; to a school master, to teach twenty poor children gratis in the parish, twenty pounds; to Jesus hospital, Canterbury, five pounds; to St. John's hospital, in Canterbury, ten pounds; to Kingsbridge hospital, in Canterbury, five pounds; to Cogan's hospital, in Canterbury, four pounds; to St. Stephens's hospital, five pounds; to Harbledown hospital, five pounds per annum; and she gave by her will to the school and hospital at Islington, 200l. and to the school at Wicomb, in Buckinghamshire, 100l.

She wainscotted and adorned this chancel, and gave plate for the communion table in her life time, and two silver flagons by her will, A. D. 1694. She died of an apoplexy before she had sealed or finished her will, so that it took no effect as to her real estate, but after many suits and controversies was adjudged good as to her personal estate; and twenty shillings she left yearly to be paid to this parish clerk to keep both monuments clean. A memorial for Mr. Leonard Rowntree, minister, obt. 1624. In the north chancel, on an altar tomb, an inscription for Manasses Norwoode, of Dane court, and Norwoode, esq. obt. 1636; arms, Ermine, a cross, engrailed, impaling six coats. There are several brass plates and inscriptions for Culmer and Elmstone. In the north isle an altar tomb for Michael Webb, obt. 1587. A brass plate for Philip Smith, obt. 1451. Another for John Sacket, of this parish, obt. 1623. A memorial for Alexander, son of Alexander Nor woode, esq. of Dane-court. A black marble for Cornelius Willes, A. M. nineteen years vicar of this parish, and prebendary of Wells, obt. 1776. A like stone for the Rev. John Deane, A. M. forty-one years vicar, obt. 1757. A memorial for Daniel Pamflet, gent. and Mary his wife. He died 1719. An antient tomb for Mrs Elizabeth Omer, obt. 1709. A mural monument and inscription for the Rev. Roger Huggett, M. A. late vicar of the king's free chapel of St. George, in Windsor, and rector of Hartley Waspaill, in Southampton, eldest son of Roger Huggett, of Stone, in this parish, who was sole heir of the Pawlyns, an antient and respectable family of that place. He died at Hartley, in 1769, where he was buried; on it are inscriptions for others of the same name; arms, Gules, a chevron, between three stags heads, or, impaling parted per pale, sable and gules, a griffin passant, counterchanged. A tomb for Mr. Henry Huggett, gent. sole heir of the Pawlins, of Stone; he died in 1751; and for others of this family. A mural monument, shewing that in a vault underneath, lies Mary, wife of John Dekewer, esq. of Hackney, who died without surviving issue, one son and one daughter lying interred with her, obt. 1748. In the same vault lies the abovementioned John Dekewer, esq. an especial benefactor to this parish, obt. 1762, æt 76; arms, Vert, on a cross, or, five fleurs de lis, sable, between two caltrops, and two lions, rampant, impaling argent, parted per fess, three escallops, two and one, in chief, gules, in base three piles waved, sable. A tomb for John Dekewer, son of the above John, obt. 1740. In the same vault are others of this family.

A mural monument for the Rev. Tho. Reynolds, obt. 1754. Besides these there are memo rials for Noble, Gray, Read, Witherden, White, Simons, Cooke, Culmer, Wild, Jeken, Tilman, and Kerby. In the middle of the chancel, a memorial for Grace, wife of James White, gent. of Chilham, daugh ter of Gratian Lynch, gent. of Grove, in Staple, obt. 1740, and for Grace her daughter, wife of Thomas Hawkins, obt. 1746. A brass plate in the north isle, for John Sacket, of this parish, obt. 1623, æt. 59. At the end of the north isle is a large white stone, much obliterated, for Michael Pavlen, obt. 1662; Anne his wife, and Anne their daughter. In the church yard are many handsome tombs and grave-stones, of persons of different trades and occupations, residents of this parish. In the tower is a great crack on the east and west sides of it, from the top almost to the bottom, where it opened near an inch, and more than two at the top, so that the tower by it inclines to the northward; and it is wonderful, that when it was so rent it did not fall; the fissure is filled up with stone and mortar. As tradition reports, it was occasioned by the earthquake in queen Elizabeth's reign, in the 22d year of which, Mr. Camden tells us, there was a great one felt in this county.

This church was one of the three chapels belonging to the church of Minister, and very probably was made parochial sometime after the year 1200, when the church of Minster, with its appendages, was appropriated, in the year 1128, to the monastery of St. Augustine; it was at the same time assigned, with the above-mentioned chapels, with all rents, tithes, and other things belonging to that church and those chapels, to the sacristy of the monastery; and it was further granted, that the abbot and convent should present to the archbishop in the above-mentioned chapels, fit perpetual chaplains to the altarages of them; but that the vicar of the mother church of Minister should take and receive in right of his vicarage, the tenths of the small tithes, viz. of lambs and pigs, and the obventions arising from marriages and churchings, which were forbidden at these chapels, and were solemnized, &c. at the mother church only.

As to the chaplains of these chapels, though they were to receive no more than ten marcs of these altarages, yet they were not excluded the enjoyment of the manses and glebes given to these chapels when they were first consecrated, which made some additiou to their income, and enabled them to keep a deacon to assist them on the great and principal festivals. The inhabitants of these three chapelries, preceded by their priests, were accustomed to go in procession to Minster, in token of their subjection to their parochial or mother church. (fn. 10)

After this the appropriation of the church of Minster, with its appendant chapels, and the advowsons of the vicarages of them, continued with the abbot and convent till the dissolution of the monastery in the 30th year of king Henry VIII. when they were surrendered, together with the rest of the possessions of the monastery, into the king's hands.

After the dissolution of the monastery and the change in the service of the churches wrought by the reformation, this parochial chapel of St. Peter became entirely separated from the mother church of Minster, the vicar of this parish having no further subjection to it in any shape whatever; but by the same change he was likewise deprived of several of those emoluments he had before enjoyed in right of his vicarage, and all the great tithes of this parish, being appropriated to Callis and Salmestone granges, formerly belonging to the abbot and convent of St. Augustine, as has been already taken notice of before; the endowment of this vicarage consisted only of the small tithes of this parish, the payment of two bushels of corn yearly at Midsummer, from Salmanstone grange, and a pension of ten pounds to be paid yearly out of Callis grange; besides which he had a vicarage house, orchard, garden, and two parcels of land.

The small tithes of this parish being chiefly arable land, with the other emoluments of the vicarage, by reason of the great increase of every necessary article of life, falling far short of a reasonable maintenance, Mrs. Elizabeth Lovejoy, in the year 1694, further augmented it with the sum of forty pounds per annum, to be paid half yearly out of Callis grange above-mentioned; in consideration of which augmentation, the vicar is obliged, without accepting any dispensation, to be constantly resident on this vicarage, with several other injunctions mentioned in her will.

This vicarage is valued in the king's books at nine pounds, and the yearly tenths at eighteen shillings. In 1588 here were one hundred and forty-six communicants. In 1640 here were three hundred communicants, and it was valued at seventy pounds, but it appears by the return made in 1709, to the enquiry into the clear value of church livings, that this vicarage was worth only thirty pounds clear yearly income, before Mrs. Lovejoy's addition of forty pounds per annum.

¶The advowson of this vicarage coming into the hands of the crown, on the dissolution of the abbey of St. Augustine, continued there till king Edward VI. in his first year, granted the advowson of the vicarage of Minster, with the three chapels appendant to it, one of which was this church of St. Peter, among other premises, to the archbishop; since which this advowson has continued parcel of the possessions of that see, the archbishop being the present patron of it.

In 1630 the churchwardens and assistants reported, that here were belonging to the vicarage a mansion, with a well house, one orchard, one garden, and one acre of land adjoining to it, and one parcel of land, called the Vicar's Acre, lying within the lands of Capt. Norwood, who paid to the vicar, in consideration of it, five shillings a year; but no care being taken to preserve the bounds of this acre, the place where it lay was forgot, and the rent paid for it disputed, and at length quite discontinued.

Sassi punnu mausoleum got Solar Energy

Every year thousands of peoples from various parts of Sindh, Baluchistan and Punjab gather at the shrine of Sassi and Punnu in Singher village to attend a 3 days carnival. Singher village is , 52 Kilometers away from Hub town. Singher means chain, as the village is surrounded by the chain of hills where it is believed that Sassi and Punnu were buried under a landslide.

Before the monsoon a carnival organizing committee receives donation from the Baloch tribal chiefs of Sindh and Balochistan to bear the expenditures of the event. Collected funds are mostly used for providing food, water and accommodation to all the devotees there. Sufi Faqirs (singers) from Sindh, Balochistan and Punjab travel to perform songs on the occasion to pay homage to Sassi Punnu, the popular tragic romance of Sindh and Balochistan. Besides folk songs, a traditional Sindhi game malakhro similar to Japanese wrestling sumo also attracts a large number of the people to come there.

Lands from mountains with old graves scattered in the area and rainy water ways are quite difficult to cross for the travellers. Despite this, devotees, males and females, travel long distance to visit the site the entire year. For the local people, camel is the only means of transport and people gather there during the occasion.

There is only one well, which is useful for the communities otherwise the entire area underground water level is unsafe for human consumption. In case the area receives monsoon rains the people use rainy water from ponds.

For the benefit of peoples living in surroundings as well as devotees who visit during carnival and over the year, Masood Lohar, country Manager UNDP, GEF small grant program decided to use solar energy for providing clean and safe water and lighting on the mausoleum.

On 30th May 2015, Shaan Technologies Private Limited installed a 3 HP Solar Powered pump on a 250 ft deep well that is located near the tomb. Operating on a 3 kilowatt solar panel bank this pump provide 30 Gallon water per minutes & eliminates requirement of diesel generator operated pump that organizing committee previously used to supply water during the festival.

Now solar pump serves as a continuous source of clean water without any additional cost. A water tank is provided to store pumped water. This tank helped as a 24 hours ready source of water for the local people.

In addition to that 2 solar powered floodlights were also installed in front yard of tomb. These 14 watt LED lights runs on a 35 watt solar panel that provide sufficient power to run LED lamps up to 12 hours. Dusk to Dawn photo sensors is also used in the system that automatically turns on the light just before the sunset and turns off at dawn. This project was financed by the UNDP GEF Small grant program. Lodhie foundation contributed 10% cost of the project under its poverty alleviation initiative.

Folktale of Sassi & Punnu

Sassi Punnu is a famous folktale of love told in the length and breadth of Sindh, Pakistan. The story is about a faithful wife who is ready to undergo all kinds of troubles that would come her way while seeking her beloved husband who was separated from her by the rivals

Sassi was the daughter of a Brahman Hindu Rajah from Rohri . Upon Sassui's birth, astrologers predicted that she was a curse for the royal family’s prestige. The Raja ordered that the child be put in a wooden box and thrown in the Sindhu, present day’s river Indus. However, she was saved by a washer-man belonging to Bhanbhor, near Gharo district, Thatta . The washer-man raised her as his own daughter.

When Sassui became a young girl, she was as beautiful as the fairies of heaven. Stories of her beauty reached Punhun a prince from Kech Makran Balochistan and he became desperate to meet Sassi. The handsome young Prince therefore travelled to Bhambore. He sent his clothes to Sassi's father (a washerman) so that he could catch a glimpse of Sassi. When he visited the washerman's house, they fell in love at first sight. Sassui's father was dispirited, hoping that Sassi would marry a washerman and no one else. He asked Punnhun to prove that he was worthy of Sassui by passing the test as a washerman. Punnhun agreed to prove his love. While washing, he tore all the clothes as, being a prince, he had never washed any clothes; he thus failed the agreement. But before he returned those clothes, he hid gold coins in the pockets of all the clothes, hoping this would keep the villagers quiet. The trick worked, and Sassui's father agreed to the marriage.

At last Punnu (Punhoon) married her. However, his father, Ari, the King of Ketch, did not like his son getting married to a low-caste girl, so he instructed his other sons to go to Bhanbhor and bring back Punnu at any cost. They visited Punnu as his guests and during the night they intoxicated him and his wife. Later, they put their brother on one of the camels and left. When Sassi woke up in the morning, she was shocked to find Punnu missing and all his brothers gone. She understood their trickery. She left Bhambhor immediately to Kech Makran on foot in search of him. The Kech Makran is located along the Makran Coastal Highway in Baluchistan, Pakistan.

After crossing Pab Mountain, she reached the Harho range. She could not proceed further when her path was blocked by the Phor River. So she started retracing her steps. Soon she was accosted by a beastly goatherd who intended to molest her. Sassi prayed to God for protection. Immediately the ground below her feet started caving in like quicksand and she disappeared within seconds. Seeing the miracle, the goatherd repented sincerely, and to make amends for his misconduct, he made a grave in the site and became its custodian.

Punnu found no peace of mind at Kech. He languished and soon became an invalid. Under the circumstances, his father allowed him to return to Bhambhor.

During his return journey, Punnu happened to pass by the site where Sassi had met her death. When the goatherd came to know his story, he told him as to what had happened to Sassi. Punnu was beside himself on hearing the horrible news.

He prayed to God to unite him with Sassi. Again the ground became quicksand and he soon disappeared into the bowels of the earth. So came to an end the tragic love story of Sassi and Punnu. The legendary grave still exists in this valley.

The famous Sufi saint and poet Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai sings this historic tale in his sufi poetry “Shah jo Risalo” as an example of eternal love and union with Divine.

Sassi’s resting place is said to be about 45 miles away in the Pub range to the west of Karachi. A local man of some importance constructed a simple mausoleum in 1980 over the joint grave of Sassi and Punnu. It is often visited by tourists.

Early Christmas present by Lynn Tolay

8 19

Was feeling a little down yesterday. I can't stand being home confined in a house. I'm really a private person with my life. But I'm a people person. I love all the daily personal interactions l get going to store. Talking to the attendent at the gas station. Just seeing familiar faces at the gym. Talking to the boys on the jobs. Their life's. Their wife's. Their cars. Their everything.

Construction is a life of partime friendships. You are at war, not as in fighting, but as always working hard to achieve a victory.

( Building constructed ) And for one or two years you see people regular and you bond and you care and they care.......... And then the job is done........ And you may never see them again, or you might see them 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 years later. And it seems like yesterday again. But the kids are in highschool. The parents have retired. They bought a new house with crappy neighbors......

And although I'm pretty private about my life. I guess l am a people person.

And l miss. And it's eating at me.

Soooooooooooo. Sandra noticed me moping periodically. Sandra notices everything. Told you. She would have been a great mother.

And l was complaining.

So she gave me an early Christmas present. She said all girls have stuffed animals to talk to when they're mad or sad or lonely. That l needed my very own. She said it's a stuffed animal version of Mr. Biscuits.

Well......... He's the cutest little man....... And she said l needed to give him a name to make him hear me............ So....... I would like you all to meet my very own buddle of joy. JoJo. He left his home in Tucson Arizona and bought some California grass. Get back JoJo....🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵♥️🐒🌹

Cardiff Castle - High Street Street, Cardiff - Welsh flags by Elliott Brown

High Street Street in Cardiff.

On the way we were here, the Queen was in Cardiff to unveil a new Welsh Regiment at the Millennium Stadium, and a parade went from there to Cardiff Castle.

A look ahead to Cardiff Castle. Decided not to go there, but instead we went to the National Museum Cardiff instead.

Welsh flags to the end of the High Street.

The Goat Major pub on the left.

The castle is Grade I listed.

Cardiff Castle, Castle

Location

On large site on corner of Duke Street and Kingsway, Bute Park to N and W.

History

For full details of history see References. A Roman timber fort stood on the site from circa AD55-60, successively rebuilt, until around 280 a large stone fort was built, whose foundations define the present castle enclosure. Around 1081, William I built a motte within the Roman enclosure, upon which the present polygonal stone keep was built about 50 years later. This was modified c1300 with addition of S tower; an inner bailey wall was constructed, and probably the Black Tower. Around 1429-39, Richard Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick built a polygonal tower and new domestic range against W wall The range was enlarged in the late C16 by Henry Herbert, Second Earl of Pembroke. The castle was inherited by Lord Mountstuart, later the first Marquess of Bute in 1776 who had the western apartments modified by Henry Holland, and the grounds landscaped by Lancelot Brown. Further work 1817. Some work to Black Tower by John Prichard, 1850. From 1868, the Third Marquess of Bute employed William Burges (1827-1881), amongst the most important Gothic revival architects and designers of the period, to transform the castle into a High Victorian medieval fantasy with particularly exotic interiors, executed by a team of leading artists and craftsmen. The castle also retains important fittings and furnishings from this period. Burges' sources range across much of European Gothic art; the Arab Room introduces an Islamic influence. Burges' schemes were continued after his death by William Frame, although Burges' elaborate Grand Staircase, partially completed, was removed in early C20. The S gate and barbican Tower by J P Grant, 1920s; West gate 1921. The Roman walls were exposed and rebuilt to more than their original height between 1891and 1923. The Castle was given to the City in 1947 by the 5th Marquess of Bute.

Case 1 of "The Inevitable Present: Integration at William & Mary" by W&M Libraries

Shown here is an image of Case 1 of the "'The Inevitable Present': Integration at William & Mary" Exhibit located in the Marshall Gallery (1st Floor Rotunda) and the Read & Relax area of Swem Library at the College of William & Mary, on display from February 4th 2013 to August 13th 2013

The following is a transcription of the labels in this case:

In late 1950, the Dean of the Department of Jurisprudence, Dudley W. Woodbridge reinforced the statements of the Board of Visitors and the Alumni Gazette when he told a meeting of the Norfolk and Portsmouth Bar Association that William & Mary would accept African American applicants.

Edward Augustus Travis was the first African American law student at William & Mary entering in the 1951 fall semester and graduating in August 1954 with a BCL degree, making him the first African American alumnus of William & Mary. Travis, born in Reed’s Ferry, Virginia, had attended Hampton Institute and graduated from Florida A&M before applying to William & Mary. Travis passed away in Newport News in November 1960.

While William & Mary had cracked open a door to integration, other battles continued throughout the nation, including in Washington, D.C. The Coordinating Committee for the Enforcement of the D.C. Anti-Discrimination Laws sent this flyer to William & Mary president Alvin Duke Chandler asking him to share the group’s boycott of department store Hecht’s with students. There is no indication in the records of the Office of the President if Chandler shared this information with students or others.

Hulon Willis was the first African American student admitted to William & Mary. He began in the summer 1951 term, pursuing his masters of education. At the time of his admision, Willis was already a graduate of Virginia State College (now Virginia State University) and a teacher in the Norfolk school system. He earned his degree from William & Mary in August 1956. The William & Mary Alumni Association’s Hulon Willis Association, a constituent group founded in 1992 by and for African American alumni, was named in honor of Willis, preserving his name and place in the university’s history for the future.

As a graduate student, Willis naturally had a different experience on campus than today’s undergraduate students. During the summers when he was attending classes, Willis lived on Braxton Court in a boarding house operated by Miss Gwen Skinner. When they attended football games at William & Mary, Hulon & Alyce Willis sat in the student section, not in the end zone where other African Americans were seated in the segregated stadium. When Willis was inducted into Kappa Delta Pi, an education honor society, according to Mrs. Willis another member told the group that he would be not be a part of an organization that admitted an African American. The group told this member he could leave and Willis was inducted in August 1956. As an alumnus, Willis joined the Order of the White Jacket, an Alumni Association constituent group for those who worked in campus dining halls, Colonial Williamsburg restaurants, and other dining establishments. After earning his graduate degree, Willis became an assistant professor at Virginia State University and then the director of campus police.

Like all students applying to William & Mary at the time, Willis was required to include a photograph of himself with his application. In a 2005 oral history interview with Jenay Jackson ’05, Hulon Willis’ wife Alyce, who had encouraged her husband to apply to William & Mary, recounted that upon receiving his acceptance letter in March 1951, she wondered if the photograph had fallen off his application. But a few weeks later, William & Mary released a public statement, announcing that Willis was the first African American student admitted to the institution. Willis was accepted not because the institution was opening its doors to all potential African American students, but because of the case brought by Gregory Swanson against the University of Virginia in 1950 after he was denied admission to the university’s School of Law. The U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Swanson could not be barred from admission because of his race. Willis was pursuing his master’s degree specializing in physical education and since that program of study was not offered by a state-supported institution accepting African American applicants, William & Mary could not decline to admit Willis based solely on his race. The college established a procedure to confer with Attorney General J. Lindsay Almond, Jr. in Richmond on the admission of African American applicants beginning in the 1950s. William & Mary specifically wished to avoid a court case, while some, like A. W. Bohannan, who wrote to President Pomfret in May 1951 after Hulon Willis’ admission, saw forcing applicants to take the institution to court as the next step in preventing integration.

William & Mary’s first non-white undergraduate student was Art Matsu, ’28. Born to a Scottish mother and Japanese father, Matsu was an exceptional athlete who was successfully recruited from Cleveland by William & Mary to play quarterback and became captain of the football team. He also played basketball, baseball, ran track, became a member of the 13 Club and the Varsity Club, and took part in other student activities. But Matsu's attendance did not open the door widely to Asian American students. William & Mary’s student body would include only a handful of Asian and Asian American students throughout the 1930s-1950s.

William & Mary admitted its first African American students under President John E. Pomfret. Pomfret would depart William & Mary soon after Willis and Travis were admitted due to the unrelated football scandal of 1951. He was replaced by former admiral Alvin Duke Chandler who was new to academia.

Correspondence, internal memos, and other materials relating to integration were filed by the Office of the President in the 1950s-1960s under the heading “Negro Education.” After being transferred to the University Archives, these folder titles were maintained to document the organization and practices of the office and the era.

Deities of the Monsgnarl Pantheon by Moleman NineThousand

3

These are the Primal Deities that make up the Monsgnarl Pantheon, a group of evil deities that has maintained a firm domination of the Omega Octant planet Proolycoles, and its humanoids, the Huplegrars, for all of recorded history, back to before the Relative Calendar was invented. These deities are particularly malicious, ruthless and corruptive, as well as ancient, and there are five main ones, one representing each class of Primal Deity. These five were all present at the Pantheon's formation, and are the only deities who have consistently been part of it ever since. Other Primal Deities have joined the Monsgnarl Pantheon at various points in time, but all of them end up either leaving or being vanquished after some time. Currently, the Pantheon consists of only the main five, and has been this way for over a century. All attempts to retake planet Proolycoles from them, even those involving angels, have failed. The planet and its inhabitants, which are now severely and irreversibly corrupted, are now considered beyond help, and the "Monsgnarls" (as the deities are sometimes called) remain an active and significant threat to the rest of the Prime Galaxy, though they do not currently control any other planets in the same way they do Proolycoles.

• Dif'Elarah: The Elemental–Class deity among the group. Dif'Elarah is an electricity and lightning–based extra–corporeal being that identifies itself as female, though "she" exhibits few to no stereotypically feminine traits and is not associated with sexuality (which most "female" Primal Deities are), actually being the least perverted of the Monsgnarls. Her form stands nearly twenty feet tall, and is partially extra–corporeal and partially sub–corporeal. The sub–corporeal portions of her body are those that appear to be made of blue electric energy, and which are semi–amorphous; the ends of her "arms" can take the forms of either "hands" with multiple "fingers" or singular daggers of energy. Sparking bolts of lightning constantly spout and fume from the top and sides of her head, and her whole body rests upon a floating vortex of red–hot electricity. Physical contact with any part of her body is hazardous to one's health and is not advised. Dif'Elarah has the ability to dissipate into thin air and reappear within seconds at any point of her choosing within several miles. She can also transfer her essence into clouds, of which there are lots floating around the skies of Proolycoles at all times, which she then takes control over and induces the phenomenon of lightning in. She frequently commandeers clouds either to strike people down (something that only divine beings have the right to do), or to clear out patches of land for use as agricultural fields or sites for buildings, in a practice reminiscent of the ancient agricultural technique of "slash–and–burn". Dif'Elarah is considered the "guardian" of the planet Proolycoles from intruders who wish to overthrow the Monsgnarls, and whom she strikes down from the clouds (although she has also been known to do this to Huplegrars who are either "nonbelievers" or are otherwise considered liabilities, and possibly to random Huplegrars simply for fun), and also the goddess of agriculture, even though she is still a destructive force rather than a creative one even when she helps clear out fields. The durability value of Dif'Elarah's body is 15,000.

• Mias'Cento: The Mage–Class deity among the group. Mias'Cento is "male", and has a very humanoid form almost resembling that of the Aspimean, and a headpiece that represents the "head" of this facsimile of a mortal body. He has four independently–floating arms, although the lower pair could alternatively and easily be seen as representing legs. Instead of his entire headpiece being organic and vulnerable, the only truly living part of Mias'Cento's body is the exposed "brain" within his head. He speaks in a mischievous–sounding and moderately high–pitched voice, which emits through the grinning "teeth" on his upper–upper body, despite him having another, separate set of "teeth" immediately above these. Of course, neither are actually used for eating, which a Primal Deity is "above" the need to do. The purple glow surrounding the floating parts that make up his body is particularly bright and strong.

Mias'Cento's voice is indicative of his type of personality, but does not convey the extreme nature of this personality: he is a malicious trickster and prankster who often goes around casting harmful spells upon unsuspecting Huplegrars, most of which alter the bodies of their victims in some way, usually permanently. The effects of such spells range from non–beneficial mutations and severe scarring to (sometimes deadly) sickness and even transformation into inanimate objects (in which case the victim's consciousness remains alive within the object they have been turned into, only being released when the object is destroyed to a sufficient extent). Despite the horrific nature of some of these spells, to be changed by Mias'Cento is considered an "honor" by the Huplegrars. He even has a spell that can turn Huplegrars into other humanoid races, though the effects of this particular spell are temporary, and even then it is one of the hardest spells for the deity to cast, as it is so drastic and complex. Note that the greater the preexisting influence of Primal Deities on an individual, the more vulnerable they are to Mias'Cento's magic; since the Huplegrars are so utterly dominated by the Monsgnarls, he can do practically whatever he wants to them, but it is much harder for him to affect non–Huplegrars, and those who are closest to God are virtually immune.

To compensate for his openly antagonistic nature towards his own subjects, Mias'Cento is very open to granting "wishes" in exchange for favors and offerings that are less substantial than what most other wish–granting deities would demand for the same services.

Mias'Cento has been quoted several times as saying that he knows a dark secret relating to humanoids in general, and he laughs out loud whenever he mentions this. However, he has never revealed to anyone else, including his fellow deities, exactly what this alleged secret is.

Mias'Cento's (or rather, his brain's) durability value is 15,000 (making it one tough freaking brain!). This durability value is the same as Dif'Elarah's, and the two are fairly evenly–matched in other areas as well.

• Set'Ibutal: The Guardian–Class deity among the group. Set'Ibutal is extremely masculine and is one of the most distinctly humanoid Primal Deities ever, having a full, grounded body with both arms and legs. His form stands more than twenty feet tall, and is hunchbacked. Unlike most Guardian–Class deities, Set'Ibutal does more than just going around looking for challengers who seek to claim his artifact, the Gnarly Sword of Bursting, a large two–handed blade that, in addition to being supernaturally sharp and durable, sometimes creates small, controlled explosions upon impact with a foe's body. He is the leader of Proolycoles' warrior caste, which is equivalent to a military, and personally puts all Huplegrar warriors, who are assigned to that caste at birth based on being the most physically fit and promising among the population's infants by Junt'Vubis, through a rigorous, harsh and sometimes deadly training regime starting at the tender age of just four years. Set'Ibutal teaches them to be pitiless, vicious and brutally pragmatic in battle, and makes them push their bodies beyond their natural limits in order to build them up to great strength. Were he an angel and had more compassion, he would probably be the universe's greatest personal trainer. However, as it is he is evil and cruel like the other Monsgnarls, and frequently ends up getting his subjects killed, which he feels no remorse for, believing that they deserved to die for being weak and failing to live up to their destiny as warriors, and teaching his other subjects to think in the same way. At the age of fourteen, every young Huplegrar warrior who has survived all of Set'Ibutal's torturous training over ten whole years must face one more, final test from him to earn freedom and the respect and honor of being a full–fledged warrior: facing the deity in combat. During these fights, which are fought unarmed by both participants, Set'Ibutal deliberately uses only a fraction of his true power, and ends the fight when his opponent and subject has either fared well enough against him and landed enough blows to prove their worthiness, or is dead. Less than half of all Huplegrars who are assigned to the warrior caste survive all of Set'Ibutal's training; the majority of those who don't die during the final test of fighting him.

Set'Ibutal also personally leads all fully–qualified warriors who have survived his training during times of actual war, which are rare on Proolycoles, but which he actually, personally fights in when they do happen.

When he is not busy training warrior youth or fighting off planetary intruders, Set'Ibutal seeks those who believe themselves powerful and worthy enough to challenge him in full–out combat to the death, in which the deity does not hold back, over the Gnarly Sword of Bursting. He has "died" seven times, being defeated in one–on–one combat by freakishly powerful Huplegrar warriors who then claimed his artifact six of those times, and being slain by angels, who were later overpowered and killed by the other Monsgnarls and their forces, the other time. Like other Guardian–Class deities, Set'Ibutal is reborn when the individual who has defeated him and inherited his weapon dies and their soul becomes part of his consciousness. When he was killed by angels, said angels actually destroyed the Gnarly Sword of Bursting, hoping that doing so would vanquish the deity completely. However, he and his sword resurrected three years, two cycles and sixteen days later. This was subsequently discovered to be the "respawn time" for all Guardian–Class deities whose artifacts and bodies are both destroyed.

Set'Ibutal's durability value is 20,000.

• Junt'Vubis: The Serpentine–Class deity among the group, the leader of the Monsgnarl Pantheon, and also, appropriately, the most powerful Monsgnarl. Junt'Vubis is very large and heavy, and has a corporeal, organic form rather than one made of enchanted, possessed stone. He was always a Serpentine–Class deity, and never an Idol. He resides at all times in his throne room at the top of a 200–foot–tall golden–plated ziggurat that was built for him over a millennium ago at the center of the Huplegrars' capital city of Yeppus, which was also constructed under the Serpentine's supervision. Physically, Junt'Vubis is noted for the peculiar position in which he sits upon his belly, and for his very long, blue–haired neck. He has four arms, the lower pair of which has hands on both ends, and six symbolic dead insect wings on his back. His main power is telekinesis; in this very picture he is shown levitating several stones with the power of one arm, but that does not even begin to adequately illustrate the extent of his powers. If he wanted, Junt'Vubis could lift the entire golden structure atop which he sits into the air, tearing it out of the ground in which it is deeply and securely rooted. He can also telekinetically move living things and their body parts, both external and internal, and can indeed cause the internal organs of any normal humanoid within several miles of him to explode on a whim. Junt'Vubis can speak both externally and telepathically, and he has complete knowledge of every single word in both the English and Proolignarlish languages.

He is effectively the emperor of planet Proolycoles. All newborn Huplegrars are brought to him to be judged and placed into one of six castes: slave, peasant, citizen, aristocrat, prince or warrior. The first five of these castes are linear ranks, in order from lowest to highest, while the "warrior" caste is special. Any child that Junt'Vubis deems unfit for even the "slave" caste is devoured by him on the spot, being swallowed whole and dissolved instantaneously by his stomach acids, which are exponentially stronger than those of any mortal being. It has been suggested by multiple sources that he sometimes eats babies not because he actually considers them unfit to live, but because he likes to do so and/or because they are particularly satiating to his supernatural hunger. Aside from infants, Junt'Vubis also eats many other "foods", including both actual foods and inedible objects. Five meals are delivered to him daily by his personal slaves.

Junt'Vubis possesses a durability value of about 40,000. It would be accurate to call him the single most infamous Primal Deity in the Nava–Verse.

• Ness'Qilob: The Idol–Class deity among the group. Ness'Qilob is considered the weakest of the main five, and is certainly the dumbest. It is also the only completely genderless Monsgnarl, and the only one with Tikis: Frustration, Hunger and Violation. Its body is decorated mainly in greenish and purplish colors, and it has four tentacles coming out of its sides which serve as "arms", can extend and stretch to several times their natural length, and have millions of microscopic feelers on them. Its offensive abilities include laser beams of strength on par with the most advanced current humanoid–made energy weapons.

Ness'Qilob's "house" is a silver–plated altar in the center of a forest just to the West of Yeppus. A pathway has been cleared out through this forest leading up to said altar, where the Idol loiters around most of the day, often wandering off into other parts of the forest to eat the animals and chew on the trees. Huplegrars occasionally give or leave it offerings, which are absorbed into the deity's essence via route of consumption through its large, gapingly open mouth. Sometimes, random objects, usually food, come back up out of the mouth for people to take after multiple offerings are placed into the mouth at once. However, these objects are always of lesser value than the things that Ness'Qilob was just given.

Ness'Qilob is, as mentioned above, not very smart. It lacks the devious cunning and comprehensive, obscure knowledge that most Primal Deities possess, instead being a simple creature with simple, carnal desires that is content to act as a mere servant to Junt'Vubis, who uses it as a pet and enforcer. Its altar was deliberately built so that it would be just within the range of Junt'Vubis' telepathy, allowing him to summon Ness'Qilob at his leisure. The leader of the Monsgnarls frequently calls to it and orders it to bring him seemingly random things that he wants but which are located far away and would be difficult for his Huplegrar servants to fetch (not that they wouldn't be willing to try). Ness'Qilob is particularly ideal for fetching unusual things because of its photographic knowledge and memory of Proolycoles' entire layout, including where various things can generally be found, despite otherwise being lacking in the mental area. In exchange for doing him these periodic favors, Junt'Vubis gives Ness'Qilob free access to all female Huplegrars among the slave caste, and allows it to molest them with its tentacles, which they usually enjoy due to their own innate perversion which is a result of the Monsgnarls' general corruption. Surprisingly, Ness'Qilob only takes advantage of this privilege occasionally, rather than all the time.

Ness'Qilob has a durability value of 18,000.

My whip-round birthday present arrived this morning, which was quite nice since it's my actual birthday today (at least, it is here in New Zealand). It's an external hard drive so I can backup my files. Hooray!
