Along the River during Qingming Festival
Where the great bridge, called the Rainbow Bridge (虹橋 Hong Qiao), crosses the river is the center and main focus of the scroll. A great commotion animates the people on the bridge. A boat approaches at an awkward angle with its mast not completely lowered, threatening to crash into the bridge. The crowds on the bridge and along the riverside are shouting and gesturing towards the boat. Someone near the apex of the bridge lowers a rope to the outstretched arms of the crew below.
The Scroll of Isildur was a scroll made by Isildur himself during his short time in Minas Tirith after the War of the Last Alliance between T.A. 1 and 2. The scroll held Isildur's account of the gaining of the Ring from Sauron and described the appearance of an inscription around the Ring while it was still hot. The Scroll was stored for millennia in the vaults of that city. Gandalf started to believe that Bilbo Baggins' Magic Ring was the One. In T.A. 3017 he visited Minas Tirith and studied the scroll. Isildur's description was vital in helping Gandalf identify the Ring. He visited Frodo Baggins in Bag End and testing his ring in the fireplace, confirmed it as the One Ring of Sauron.

Das Berliner Ensemble (abgekürzt: BE) ist eine der bekanntesten Bühnen der deutschen Hauptstadt. Es wurde berühmt durch Aufführungen der Werke seines Gründers Bertolt Brecht und gilt als eine der führenden deutschsprachigen Bühnen.
1954 übernimmt das Berliner Ensemble das Theater am Schiffbauerdamm und benennt es neu. Das Theater am Schiffbauerdamm wird zum Berliner Ensemble. Helene Weigel ist von Beginn an Intendantin, Bertolt Brecht künstlerischer Leiter.
Nach einem Entwurf des deutschen Theaterregisseurs Peter Palitzsch wurde 1954 das bis heute bekannte, sich drehende rot-weiß leuchtende Signet des Berliner Ensembles angefertigt und auf der Turmspitze montiert.
Der Bertolt-Brecht-Platz ist ein Platz vor dem Berliner Ensemble. 1988 wurde eine Denkmalanlage von Fritz Cremer für Bertolt Brecht aus Anlass seines 90. Geburtstages nach einem Entwurf von Peter Flierl eingeweiht. Eine kleine dreieckige Rasenfläche und auf drei Seiten gepflanzte Bäume bilden die Grünanlagen des Platzes. Das Bronzedenkmal schuf Bildhauer Fritz Cremer, die Stelen der Steinmetz Carl Wloch.

Bertolt Brecht monument and the rotating illuminated signet, Berlin 2015
The Berliner Ensemble (abbreviated to BE) is one of the best-known theatres in the German capital. It became famous through performances of the works of its founder Bertolt Brecht and is considered one of the leading German-speaking theatres.
In 1954, the Berliner Ensemble took over the Theater am Schiffbauerdamm and renamed it. The Theater am Schiffbauerdamm becomes the Berliner Ensemble. Helene Weigel is artistic director from the beginning, Bertolt Brecht is artistic director.
Based on a design by the German theatre director Peter Palitzsch, the red and white rotating signet of the Berliner Ensemble, which is still familiar today, was created in 1954 and mounted on the top of the tower.
Bertolt-Brecht-Platz is a square in front of the Berliner Ensemble. In 1988, Fritz Cremer inaugurated a memorial to Bertolt Brecht on the occasion of his 90th birthday, based on a design by Peter Flierl. A small triangular lawn and trees planted on three sides form the square's green areas. The bronze monument was created by sculptor Fritz Cremer, the stelae by stonemason Carl Wloch.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. 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!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
I really miss my old cello. I will probably have to wait another 10 years to have a nice acoustic cello. It would have cost more to repair than it was worth, so when I disassembled it, I kept certain pieces for sentimental reasons.
This side scrolling bar mysteriously appeared on my Flickr photostream late this afternoon. Is it a glitch or is it a new "improvement?" Well, I certainly hope it isn't here to stay. I use a desktop computer and it's been added as if I were using a cellphone and a tall and narrow-width screen. I have plenty enough width on my screen so that it doesn't need the side scrolling bar to get all the information to fit in my screen. Please don't take the functionality away from us desktop users all for the sake of some other upstart platform.

A random selection, showing how oil mist passing the return scroll on the camshaft can affect the interior of a points box.
If there's lots of blowby because of worn piston rings and/or the engine breather is past its best, the result is as seen on the two boxes at bottom left.
Not allowed to take photos here. Ya like whatever.
The Dead Sea scrolls consist of roughly 900 documents, including texts from the Hebrew Bible, discovered between 1947 and 1956 in eleven caves in and around the Wadi Qumran near the ruins of the ancient settlement of Khirbet Qumran, on the northwest shore of the Dead Sea.
The texts are of great religious and historical significance, as they include some of the only known surviving copies of Biblical documents made before 100 CE, and preserve evidence of considerable diversity of belief and practice within late Second Temple Judaism. They are written in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek, mostly on parchment, but with some written on papyrus. hese manuscripts generally date between 150 BCE to 70 CE. The scrolls are most commonly identified with the ancient Jewish sect called the Essenes, but recent scholarship has challenged their association with the scrolls.
The Dead Sea Scrolls are traditionally divided into three groups: "Biblical" manuscripts (copies of texts from the Hebrew Bible), which comprise roughly 40% of the identified scrolls; "Apocryphal" or "Pseudepigraphical" manuscripts (known documents from the Second Temple Period like Enoch, Jubilees, Tobit, Sirach, non-canonical psalms, etc., that were not ultimately canonized in the Hebrew Bible), which comprise roughly 30% of the identified scrolls; and "Sectarian" manuscripts (previously unknown documents that speak to the rules and beliefs of a particular group or groups within greater Judaism) like the Community Rule, War Scroll, Pesher (Hebrew pesher פשר = "Commentary") on Habakkuk, and the Rule of the Blessing, which comprise roughly 30% of the identified scrolls.
Publication of the scrolls has taken many decades, and the delay has been a source of academic controversy. As of 2007 two volumes remain to be completed, with the whole series, Discoveries in the Judean Desert, running to thirty-nine volumes in total. Many of the scrolls are now housed in the Shrine of the Book in Jerusalem. According to The Oxford Companion to Archeology, "The biblical manuscripts from Qumran, which include at least fragments from every book of the Old Testament, except perhaps for the Book of Esther, provide a far older cross section of scriptural tradition than that available to scholars before. While some of the Qumran biblical manuscripts are nearly identical to the Masoretic, or traditional, Hebrew text of the Old Testament, some manuscripts of the books of Exodus and Samuel found in Cave Four exhibit dramatic differences in both language and content. In their astonishing range of textual variants, the Qumran biblical discoveries have prompted scholars to reconsider the once-accepted theories of the development of the modern biblical text from only three manuscript families: of the Masoretic text, of the Hebrew original of the Septuagint, and of the Samaritan Pentateuch. It is now becoming increasingly clear that the Old Testament scripture was extremely fluid until its canonization around 100 CE."

April 22, 2010 Ð Scroll of Honor Dedication. Nearly 500 Clemson University graduates who died in service to their country were remembered Thursday during dedication ceremonies for the Scroll of Honor. Clemson President James Barker and selected dignitaries unveiled two purple-shrouded tiger statues as a crowd of up 1,000 applauded and stood at attention. To date 470 names are etched into the stone scroll. There are 27 names from WWI; one from the Nicaraguan campaign; 378 from WWII; 17 more from Korea; one, that of a pilot, from the Cuban missile crisis; 25 from the Vietnam War: and 19 from the Cold War era and the wars on terror. Two additional names were added just as the ceremony took place. The Clemson Corps, organized in 1999, is responsible for maintaining the Scroll of Honor records. The corps is associated with the Clemson Alumni Association and helps raise funds for the preservation of ClemsonÕs military history and the creation of scholarships for ROTC cadets..
Practice plate for interlocking scrolls. I've included some progression photos. I begin by drawing the designs, transferring them and then cutting the outline. from there comes background removal and shading. Finished plate is 2 x 4 inches.

Condition Report:. In good condition commensurate with age with a few old minor repairs to edges. Wang Yian was one of the four most famous master landscape artists of the early Qing period. Born in one of the most prominent families in Taicang, Jiangsu province, he grew up in a privileged highly cultured environment. In 1633 Wang earned the second level juren degree and was appointed to a government position in Beijing. Using his family connections he then obtained a position as prefect of Lianzhou in Guangdong province in 1638. He stayed in this position until 1641, at which time he retired to his family estate where he built a retreat and devoted himself to literary and artistic endeavours. As a former student of Dong Qichang (1555-1636) and a member of the famous 'Nine Famous Friends of Painting', Wang subsequently became one of the most influential painters and theorists of the late 17th century. Together with Wang Shimin (1592-1680), Wang Hui (1637-1717) and Wang Yuanqi (1642-1715), Wang Yian is revered as one of the 'Four Wangs' who were anchors of the Orthodox school during the first sixty years of the Qing rule.
