This exercise is meant to expand the thinking about guidelines even in Photoshop and therefore CorelDraw because of the sophisticated layers, sublayers and the dedicated guidelines in CorelDraw. It's always sad to see how much software is written without the study or even regard of others' applications. I don't use CorelDraw that much but every once in a while it is absolutely necessary to do some prep illustration in Corel and then drop a tiff into a Photoshop layer because of the extensive time element that can be trivialized in Corel.
The subject of the lesson is generating a paper scroll that can have text applied later. The concept was invented by a glassblower I know, James P. Clarke, Here is something like what I helped him with. It is a good carrier for a discussion of more sophisticated guidelines or even cheating guidelines:
The Scroll, Corel file is a demonstration of setting up advanced guidelines on the dedicated Guidelines layer in Corel. All objects applied to that dedicated layer will assume the assigned color and simple lines will assume the snap properties. The scroll guides were generated on a separate layer and then moved and dropped onto and become a sub-object on Corels Guidelines layer. Otherwise, create your own Guidelines layer in Photoshop.
Use the guideline scroll to develop your own paper object, color, texturize and antique it, like in the Scroll file.
The Scroll, Corel file shows the results of adding a text block, then an Envelope object to the text block and adding nodes to stretch and warp the enveloped text block. It is difficult to get the text to lay out realistically otherwise but you can handle it however you want.
Due to the large area of the Barony of the Far West {Japan, Korea, Guam, and sometimes China} and the small SCA population {itnierant military and teachers of English} we rely heavily on pre-made scrolls we just print out, put names on and paint. Still, I enjoy the painting.
This is a photograph from the Tullamore Harriers AC "Quinlan Cup" Half Marathon was held on Saturday 30th August 2014 in Tullamore, Co. Offaly, Ireland at 12:00. This is the second year of the event. Last year, 2013, the event commemorated the 60th Anniversary of the formation of Tullamore Harriers AC which today is one of Ireland's best known athletics clubs. The race was perfectly organised. There were stewarts all along the route, 3 drink stations with bottled water, superb facilities, and great after-race refreshments. The stewards along the route provided great encouragement to all of the runners. Tullamore Harriers and the local community really worked together to make this is a wonderful event. There was also a relay option where teams of two can run approximately 10.5km each. In total 568 participants completed the race which is almost 150 more than the 2013 event.

This photograph is one of a set of photographs from the Tullamore Harriers Half Marathon 2014. The permanent link to the full set of photographs is [https://www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157646587496250/]. This set of photographs includes photographs of the start and then photographs of the finish up to the 2 HOUR finishing time.
As mentioned above last year this race marathon race celebrated the 60th Anniversary (a Diamond Anniversary) of the foundation of Tullamore Harriers AC. The club was formed in the town in November 1953. However, it was almost 1979 before facilities close to what we see today open in the present day site. Over 50 provincial and national athletics meetings are held at Tullamore Harriers every year. The facilities available combined with it's central geographical location joining routes from North, South, East, and West make it a very attractive venue. The half marathon today firmly brings competitive national road racing back to "The Harriers". In the past there was the famous Quinnlan Cup
Festival of Races (see a link below for some nostalgia) which was one of Ireland's Blue Ribband events with some very famous names of the past lining out for that four mile race. Today, the facilities at Tullamore Harriers are the envy of many athletics clubs in Ireland. The facilities provided by Tullamore make it one of the premier venues for local and national level athletics in Ireland. There is an Olympic standard tartan track, a fully equipped gym, changing facilities, press and media facilities, meeting room spaces, etc. The club also provides a social center and niteclub which makes "The Harriers" a very well known on the local social scene. Esssentially, the town of Tullamore would be a different place if it weren't for the presence of Tullamore Harriers AC.
Overall Race Summary
Participants: There was 568 participants of runners, joggers, and walkers.
Weather: The midday start seen warm pleasant conditions for running. The layout of the course meant that there was a stiff breeze into the face of competitors for the first few miles up to mile 6. When the race turned around to return to Tullamore the wind was somewhat more favourable to runners.
Course: The race starts on the Charleville Road just outside the entrance to Tullamore Harriers. The race proceeds south along the R421 and onto the N52 before taking a route onto local back roads. The race then completes a large rural road route before it joins to the R421 again and the final 1.5 miles are the same as the first mile of the race. The runners enter tullamore stadium and complete one lap of the tartan track before the finish line. The course is challenging in places with some undulations along the route. But overall it is fair course.
Location Map: Start/finish and registration and race HQ was all at Tullamore Harriers AC Club Grounds: goo.gl/maps/xZ4GM (Google Streetview)
Refreshments: There was a very impressive selection of refreshments including sandwiches, cakes, home-made breads, etc in the Harriers clubhouse afterwards. People were able to enjoy their post race refreshments outside in the warm pleasant sunshine.

Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!

Lionsdale Champion scroll given to Sir Savaric. Designed and painted by myself and THL Elspeth Selwode.
A visit to Hampton Court Castle Gardens & Parkland on the August Bank Holiday Monday.
The main events on this Bank Holiday were Jousting & Birds of Prey.
A look at the castle. It dates to the 15th century (and is a century older than the other Hampton Court in London).
It has been beside the River Lugg for 600 years. Built by Sir Rowland Lenthall on land that was a gift from King Henry IV.
The Lenthall's stayed here for 300 years. In the 19th century it was bought by Richard Arkwright. His descendants lived here until 1912.
In the 20th century it went through various owners until the American millionaire Robert Van Kampen bought it in the 1990s. It was sold again after his death.
The castle is a Grade I listed building.

House. Circa 1427-36 for Sir Roland Lenthall (who had a licence to
crenellate in 1434). Altered early C18 by Colen Campbell for Lord Coningsby
and remodelled and restored in the early C19 by Sir Jeffrey Wyatville for
Richard Arkwright. Sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings, lead and plain
tiled roofs behind embattled parapets with groups of C19 circular stacks.
Quadrangular plan representing the original C15 layout the main surviving
parts of which include the gatehouse, the chapel and the porch. The early
C18 alterations included the remodelling of the south front and additions
to the south-east and south-west. The C19 remodelling included the partial
refenestration of the structure, the heightening of the main ground floor
rooms to the south and east and numerous additions. Two and three storeys
with cellar and chamfered plinth. North entrance front: main part of 1:3:1:3:1
bays composed of large central rectangular gatehouse with flanking three-bay
ranges terminating in small square towers. Gatehouse: three levels rising
above rest of building with machicolated parapet on moulded corbelling. Two
centred arched gateway beneath a square head with quatrefoil tracery in the
spandrels, moulded jambs and a hoodmould with head stops. The reveals are
grooved for a portcullis and the double doors are original and have nail-
studded battens on square framing with a wicket in each fold. The archway
is flanked by cruciform loopholes. Above is a C19 archway with a four-centred
head, incorporating both upper levels and having a 4-light mullioned window to
each level sub-divided by a stone panel with a shield relief frieze. The lower
window interrupts a string course. In the left side of the gatehouse is
ground floor cruciform loophole and a cusped lancet beneath a square head with
a hoodmould on the upper levels. To the right side is a similar window at the
intermediate level and a bartizan tower in the angle containing a staircase and
having three loopholes. The south side of the gatehouse has an original tall
niche with canopied head and vaulted soffit and within, above the ground floor,
is a two-bay quadripartite stone rib vault with foliated bosses. The flanking
three-bay ranges: the bays adjacent to the gatehouse are carried up higher than
the rest of the ranges to form small square towers. The left range is of two
storeys divided by a string course. There are buttresses with offsets
articulating the bays and flanking two ground floor windows. There are three
first floor windows and a further window on the second floor of the tower.
The tower terminating this range to the left is of two levels with a string
course and has a window on both levels. All windows are cusped lancets with
square heads and hoodmoulds with head stops. The right range, is of three
storeys with a continuous hoodmould to the ground floor windows. There are
two 2-light windows with square head on each floor. The heightened bay adjacent
to the gatehouse has a cusped lancet (similarly detailed to those in the left
range) on each floor. The square tower terminating the range to the right is
of two levels divided by a string course and has a similar lancet on the second
level. The chapel adjoins the east end of the north front. It has a gabled
roof with an east end plain parapet and finial and side parapets pierced with
a trefoil frieze (probably a C19 alteration). It has a continous four-bay
nave and chancel. At the east end are diagonal buttresses with offsets ter-
minating in tall pinnacles. There is a 5-light east window and three 3-light
north windows , all with pointed heads and hoodmoulds. There is also a blocked
window to the south-east. The east, south and west front retain no medieval
features being largley refaced and C19 windows inserted. On the south side
of the courtyard is the C15 porch. Square plan. Two storeys with machicolated
parapet and diagonal corner buttresses with offsets. There is a four-centred
archway with a hoodmould and a C19 doorway, similarly arched, with traceried
infill between the two archways. There is an original 4-light window above
with a sill string. The quadripartite vaulted cloisters built around the
courtyard are C19 additions. Adjoining the west elevation of the house is a
service range also of quadrangular plan and of one and two storeys, similarly
detailed to the main building. This service range has a long north-west wing
incorporating the former stables and servants' quarters. This is largely C19
and since altered. However, the stables are probably of C16 origin; they are
of rubble with ashlar dressings with a machine tiled roof and gable-end parapets
with round finials. Five bays aligned north/south with projecting central
wing on east side. Single storey and attic. Main east elevation: the central
gable end has a blocked opening on each floor level and a right side door. The
flanking bays are articulated by narrow buttresses and have large lunette windows,
two with doorways beneath. Interior: main house has an early C18 open well stair-
case west of the gatehouse with a scrolled wrought iron balustrade and moulded
handrail. East of the gatehouse is an early C18 marble fireplace with fluted
columns and a coat of arms. The chapel retains part of its C15 ribbed ceiling
which is elaborately moulded and painted with ornately carved bosses and there
is some original stained glass in the north windows. According to a letter of
Vanbrugh's, Talman may have made some plans for the remodelling of Hampton
Court and the illustration in Campbell's Vitruvius Britannicus, Vol II, 1717,
might represent Talman's scheme for a medievalised symmetrical facade. Early
C18 illustrations by Kip and Knyff and later C18 and early C19 illustrations,
for example that by Neale of 1826, suggest the building may have a further
complicated architectural history. (RCHM Herefs III, p 68-70; BoE, p 141-2).

On roule à journée longue en affichant à tous notre panier d'papayes sur deux roues (voir l'autre texte La papaya). Tout notre avoir est là. Notre ménage en entier. Ne nous reste au Québec que quelques boites de bouquins et du linge d'hiver chez les Mamas and the Papas. Faque on les surveille en cibole, nos “responsabilités” (vous devriez vraiment avoir lu l'autre texte La papaya). L'assurance-machin ou la clôture de barbelés, ça s'applique pas dans notre virée. On assure notre propre vigilance. On mange donc toujours avec les vélos à portée d'oeil. Quand on entre quelque part, y en a toujours un des deux qui demeure dehors à faire le pion.
Ça nous est arrivé de se retrouver dans une zone qu'on ne “sentait pas”, que tous les yeux des alentours nous dévisagaient un peu trop malaisément. Ou encore de se faire accoster par une voiture pour nous dire qu'on devrait pas être là, que le quartier est malo. On se sent alors un peu nus, exposés. Le pouls augmente et les sens s'aiguisent. On demeure rationnels et on se cherche une issue. Et on s'y engouffre avec tout le cocktail émotif d'un fugitif.
Des fois, c'était peut-être avisé d'avoir détalé au premier signe d'inconfort. D'autres fois, peut-être que non. Qui sait ? À passer des mois sur la route, dans le grand ailleurs, l'intuition s'aiguise beaucoup plus efficacement qu'à demeurer bien calé dans son chez-soi, mais ça veut pas dire pour autant qu'en surgit un radar sans faille.
Mais bon, faut pas avoir la peur des autres pour autant. C'est souvent le cerveau qui nous niaise. L'amygdala qui décolle comme une sirène d'alarme et entraine tout le reste dans son délire. Seulement parce qu'on a des préconçus ou que la réalité rencontrée nous déstabilise. Parce qu'on ne s'y retrouve plus. Parce qu'on est fatigués. Parce qu'on vient d'entendre telle histoire affreuse de voyageur molesté. Ou parce qu'on a fait la gaffe de lire la page dédiée à la sécurité de la région sur le site du gouvernement canadien.
Faut faire fi. Se rappeler que les histoires d'horreur sont les exceptions. Faut pas y voir une habitude. Au grand contraire ! Y a beaucoup plus de bonté que de mesquineries. Énormément même. On est tous les jours les victimes de bons gestes et les cibles de sourires plus qu'accueillants. Et il n'y a pas que ces actes quotidiens. Trop souvent, on ne veut que notre plus grand bien. Juste l'autre jour, par exemple, l'imbécile qui écrit présentement a échappé la plus importante de ses responsabilités, son porte-feuilles, comme ça, sur le bord de la route. Et c'est un ange à dos de moto qui, cinq kilomètres plus loin, l'a rejoint pour la lui rendre, comme ça, en lui rappelant de bien la protéger, sa papaye. Un vrai gentleman ! Devant son geste, je me sentais honteux comme un enfant qu'on vient de prendre la main dans l'sac, mais à qui on laisse une seconde chance. Même s'il ne la mérite pas. Je ne savais plus comment remercier assez.
Ensuite, me suis chargé de bien m'fouetter le seuil d'attention, car je sais très bien que si jamais on se fait choper quoi que ce soit, de la simple banane à l'entière bécane, la faute sera entièrement la nôtre. Et celle de personne d'autre.

We roll all day long showing to all our basket of papayas on two wheels (see the other text La papaya). All our assets are there. Our entire household. All we have left in Quebec are a few boxes of books and some winter clothes at the Mamas and the Papas houses. But we keep an eye on them, our "responsibilities" (you really should have read the other text La papaya). The insurance or the barbed wire fence, it doesn't apply to our trip. We ensure our own vigilance. We always eat with the bikes within sight. When we enter a place, one of us always stays outside checking.
It happened to us to find ourselves in a zone that we did not "feel", that all the eyes of the surroundings were staring at us a little too uncomfortably. Or to be accosted by a car to tell us that we shouldn't be there, that the area is not good, malo. We feel then a little naked, exposed. The pulse increases and the senses become sharper. We remain rational and we look for a way out. And we rush into it with all the emotional prison of a fugitive.
Sometimes it may have been wise to bolt at the first sign of discomfort. Other times, maybe not. Who knows? Spending months on the road, in the great elsewhere, sharpens your intuition much more effectively than staying on the couch, but that doesn't mean that your radar is flawless.
But you don't have to be afraid of others. It is often the brain that fools us. The amygdala that takes off like an alarm siren and drags everything else into its delirium. Only because we have preconceived ideas or the reality we encounter destabilizes us. Because we do not find ourselves in there anymore. Because we are tired. Because we have just heard such an awful story about a traveler being molested. Or because we made the mistake of reading the page dedicated to the security of the region on the Canadian government website.
Ignore it. Remember that horror stories are the exception. It's not a habit. On the contrary! There is much more goodness than meanness. Enormously so. Every day, we are the victims of good gestures and the targets of more than welcoming smiles. And it's not just these everyday acts. Too often, we only want the best for ourselves. Just the other day, for example, the fool who is writing this dropped the most important of his responsibilities, his wallet, right there on the side of the road. And it was an angel on a motorcycle who, five kilometers further on, joined him to give it back to him, just like that, reminding him to protect it well, his papaya. A real gentleman! In front of his gesture, I felt ashamed like a child who has just been caught with his hand in the bag, but to whom one leaves a second chance. Even if he doesn't deserve it. I didn't know how to thank enough.
Then, I took it upon myself to keep my eyes open, because I know very well that if we ever get caught with anything, from a simple banana to the whole shebang, the fault will be entirely ours. And nobody else's.
Due to the large area of the Barony of the Far West {Japan, Korea, Guam, and sometimes China} and the small SCA population {itnierant military and teachers of English} we rely heavily on pre-made scrolls we just print out, put names on and paint. Still, I enjoy the painting.

Admiralty House Ballroom ruin (6/19)
This is a sample of the whole album (Ballroom ruin) which can viewed at: www.flickr.com/photos/brize/sets/72157632198582081/
... elegantly-dressed guests coming out on to the verandah here to take a break from the dancing and for some fresh air on a hot evening, the men in dress uniform and the women in ball gowns ....
The former Ballroom building was part of former Admiralty House, in Admiralty House Park, Pembroke Parish, Bermuda. The Park is now a public space about two miles (3 Km) from Hamilton city between Spanish Point Road and the North Shore of Spanish Point. The ballroom is the only building that remains on the site of former Admiralty House.
----------
ADMIRALTY HOUSE
"The property was given to the British Royal Navy as a gift by the Bermuda Government in 1800s. The British Navy constructed a state home for their Admirals who were posted at the nearby dockyards. The park also served as a navy hospital once. Admiralty House Park was used as the signal center by the British Royal Navy during the World War-II. This is when the intelligence officers here intercepted coded messages from ships sailing between UK and USA, and passed on the decoded messages to the Royal Naval Dockyard [on Ireland Island North in Sandys Parish] for taking appropriate actions. Once the British left the island handing over the property back to Bermuda Government in 1951, the main Admiralty House building was abandoned and later demolished. The only remaining part of the building today is the ballroom [i.e. seen here]. You can enjoy strolling through the colorful vegetation while exploring the ruins."
However, the building was made over to a Community Centre, after the Government took it over, but it must have been abandoned after that and then fallen into ruins There are now trespass notices on the building, though it is still easy to enter the building, so the quoted website text must have been written before the notices were put up, and not updated.

In the evening of March 1st, this South West Harbor policeman answered a call about a young seal lying beside the road near Seawall (post of Acadia National Park. It was very lethargic, not moving and barely opening its eyes even though the police car's lights were flashing and people were gathered marveling how it had gotten there and trying to figure out what to do. The policeman stayed with the pup while others called around finally being referred to Allied Whale which ironically was only 10 miles away (it is really difficult to get the word out).
The staff from Allied whale picked up the pup and drove it to Marine Animal Lifeline.... a three hour drive to Portland Maine. The yearling Harp seal was severely dehydrated, and dangerously underweight but the Lifeline people are terrific at rehabilitating seals, with many years of experience.
Yesterday the head of Allied whale brought the pup back to a beach right near where it had been found. Twenty Seven days rest and rehabilitation and it was fat, healthy and raring to go. The people who were involved in its rescue were invited to do the honors of releasing the youngster.

Besuch der Zentralen Gedenkstätte für die Opfer von Krieg und Gewaltherrschaft (Neue Wache). Die Königin legte an der Neuen Wache, der Zentralen Gedenkstätte für die Opfer von Krieg und Gewaltherrschaft, einen Kranz nieder. Am Eingang wurde sie von Vizeadmiral Joachim Rühle und einer Ehrengarde empfangen. Während Ihre Majestät im stillen Gedenken verweilte, spielte ein Trompeter "Der gute Kamerad", ein Lied aus dem 19. Jahrhundert, das im Trauerzeremoniell der Bundeswehr eine Rolle spielt.
Die klassizistische Neue Wache ist seit 1993 die Zentrale Gedenkstätte der Bundesrepublik Deutschland für die Opfer von Krieg und Gewaltherrschaft. Sie wurde 1816 nach einem Entwurf von Karl Friedrich Schinkel als Wachhaus für preußische Soldaten gebaut und diente ab 1931 als Ehrenmal, zunächst für die Weimarer Republik und später für die Sowjetunion. Im Inneren des Gebäudes befindet sich direkt unter einem Rundfenster ein einzelnes Objekt: eine vergrößerte Kopie der Skulptur Mutter mit totem Sohn von Käthe Kollwitz. Die Bildhauerin schuf dieses Meisterwerk nach dem Verlust ihres Sohns im Ersten Weltkrieg.

Queen Elizabeth II visiting Berlin, 2015
Visit to the Central Memorial to the Victims of War and Tyranny (Neue Wache). The Queen laid a wreath at the Neue Wache, the Central Memorial to the Victims of War and Tyranny. She was received at the entrance by Vice Admiral Joachim Rühle and a guard of honor. While Her Majesty lingered in silent remembrance, a trumpeter played "Der gute Kamerad", a song from the 19th century that plays a role in the Bundeswehr's mourning ceremonial.
The neo-classical Neue Wache has been the Federal Republic of Germany's central memorial to the victims of war and tyranny since 1993. It was built in 1816 to a design by Karl Friedrich Schinkel as a guardhouse for Prussian soldiers and served as a memorial from 1931, first for the Weimar Republic and later for the Soviet Union. Inside the building, directly under a round window, there is a single object: an enlarged copy of the sculpture Mother with Dead Son by Käthe Kollwitz. The sculptor created this masterpiece after the loss of her son in the First World War.

So recently I was scrolling through Instagram and on one of my friends' videos he did a Dubsmash to this song that immediately caught my ear! After searching the lyrics in need to hear the full, I found out the song was "Cold" by an up and coming artist Carmen! When I tell you all this song is beyond addictive! Such an infectious R&B bop that samples the classic "Too Close" by Next. Had to create some artwork for it to have on my iTunes! Excited for the new music Carmen has coming up.
