730 Lawson Street, Kelowna, BC.
Statement of Significance:
Description of Historic Place:
The Raymer House is a one and one-half storey wood-frame, Edwardian era vernacular residence, with Queen Anne Revival references. It is located mid-block on the north side of Lawson Avenue in Kelowna's residential North End neighbourhood.
Heritage Value:
Built in 1905, the Raymer House is a significant example of Edwardian era vernacular architecture. The design references the waning Queen Anne Revival style with its wraparound verandah and its decoratively shingled upper gable. Comfortable but modest, this house exemplifies the lifestyle of Kelowna's middle class residents during the early years of the twentieth century.
The Raymer House is of historical significance for its association with Harry Raymer, a prominent local citizen. Raymer, born in Ontario, came to Kelowna in 1892 and established himself as one of the most prominent local contractors, building many of Kelowna's early schools, banks, residences and Knox Presbyterian Church. He was a well-known member of the community, and served as Kelowna's first Mayor from 1905-06, Alderman, Justice of the Peace, and as a member of the Police Commission and Licensing Board; Raymer Street was named in his honour. This house was built at the time that the city was established and Raymer was Mayor, representing the maturation of the community at an early stage in its development.

Character-Defining Elements:
Key elements that define the heritage character of the Raymer House include its:
- south facing, mid-block location;
- residential form, scale and massing, as expressed by its one and one-half storey plus basement height and irregular plan;
- hipped roof with projecting front gabled wall dormer and side gabled extension;
- wood-frame construction with drop siding and cornerboards on the ground floor, shingle cladding on the upper storey, and decorative polygonal shingle cladding in the attic gable;
- additional exterior details, such as its wraparound verandah with decorative balustrade and square columns with chamfered corners, and internal red brick chimney; and
- asymmetrical fenestration, including narrow double-hung 1-over-1 wooden-sash on the upper level windows, double-hung 4-over-1 wooden-sash windows on the ground floor, and multi-paned diamond pattern upper sash in the front elevation ground floor window.

Frederick Douglass' statements in his speech to the Women's Anti-Slavery Society in Rochester, New York on July 5, 1852, still has relevance to race-relations in the United States some 161 years later. Douglass escaped from slavery in Maryland and later became an abolitionist campaigner in Ireland and the United States.
One of the bridges connecting islands in Shuishang Gongyuan.
Shuishang Gongyuan (水上公园), or Tianjin Water Park, is easily my favorite city park in Tianjin and – to date – in China. Granted, I haven’t been to nearly enough places in China to make a more comprehensive statement, but of the parks I’ve been to in Shanghai, Beijing, Tianjin, and Guangzhou, this is easily my favorite.
It’s the largest urban park in the city at a little over 300 acres of space. The park was officially opened in its current state by the communist government in 1951. Previously, it had been known as Green Dragon Pond and has a history that dates back to the first century AD. “With the establishment of Beiyang University and Nankai University at the turn of the 20th century, the waterways of the park became popular for swimming among academic staff and students during the hot summer months.” (Summation via Wikipedia entry.)
The park is quite pleasant year-round. In summer, the lotus pond is bursting with flowers and the photographers who love to shoot them. In spring and fall, various flowers bloom (chrysanthemums in fall, peonies in spring). Winter brings a freezing of the lakes – and there are three: East Lake, West Lake, and South Lake – whereas summer brings a rash of personal boaters.
In addition to leisurely strolling around the grounds with the various pavilions, verandas, and pagodas, the Tianjin Zoo (separate admission) is also on the grounds of the park. Also, there is an amusement park in the northeast corner of the park. Amusement parks are pretty common fare among China’s city parks, which make them slightly different than American city parks.
Shuishang Gongyuan is quite easy to locate. It is nearest the Tianta subway station on line 3 of the Tianjin Metro, about a 5-10 minute walk from any of the exits (though exits C & D are technically the closest). The Tianta TV Tower (whence comes the name of the subway station) is also nearby and quite prominently visible from many places in the park. I’ve yet to venture to the top of the tower, but it would provide an excellent viewing platform for a panoramic view of the park, weather permitting.

Not quite sure what that statement is, though... She's wearing Mommy's crocs, a lovely pink sun hat (a gift from Milli) and has an old pair of slipper socks on her hands. I had thrown the socks away because they have a hole in the heel. Lilli found them and dug them out of the trash. She loves them. They have a cow print, so she puts them on her hands and walks around saying "Mooooo!" You can see that she has a finger poked through the hole.

Koroit Commercial Road Conservation Area
Source: Go to the Register of the National Estate for more information.
Identifier: 15046
Location: Commercial Rd, Koroit
Local
Government: Moyne Shire
State: VIC
Country: Australia
Statement of
Significance: The conservation area consists of a number of important public buildings and a street of relatively intact humble shopfronts and kerbline verandahs, visually punctuated by opposing bank facades. Containing a range of late nineteenth century and early twentieth century structures, the conservation area strongly evokes a sense of the town's past (Criterion E.1).
Description: Koroit is located some miles to the north of the main coastal road, the Princes Highway, and is approximately midway between Warrnambool and Port Fairy. It lies on the northern slopes of the volcanic Tower Hill, enjoying the benefits of rich soil and shelter from the weather from the Southern Ocean. The qualities of the soil have long made the district suitable to intensive cultivation, producing abundant crops of potatoes, onions and peas, usually in association with diary cattle, pigs and fat lambs. The area also once produced mustard, linseed, wheat and oats. The township of Koroit developed to serve the needs of the district. The close settlement and small holdings allowed Koroit to grow into a larger town than would normally be expected within a short distance (17km) from the regional centre, Warrnambool, and from Port Fairy which is 20km distant. The predominant green of year round cultivation and the scale of the district's holdings and buildings have led many observers to see a similarity with Irish landscapes. Commercial Road, the main street of Koroit, is a flat, straight stretch of road. This is the commercial and administrative centre of Koroit and contains a number of interesting late nineteenth and early twentieth century shops, dwellings and public buildings. The focal point of the commercial/administrative precinct is the group of public buildings near the intersection of Boundary/Commercial Road and High Street. Included are the municipal offices and the bluestone post office. The latter was built in 1872 and is of special significance through its link with author Henry Handel (Ethel) Richardson whose mother was postmistress here in 1878; Ethel's father died in Koroit in 1879 and the author used the town for the setting of the third novel in her trilogy, The Fortunes of Richard Mahony. Also included within this precinct are the courthouse (1871-72), and the state school (1878). Also of note at the intersection is the decorative Koroit Hotel with detailing showing Art Nouveau influence (especially in the verandah). Diagonally opposite is the Courthouse Inn, an interesting Edwardian weatherboard building now unlicensed but still used for accommodation. The Commercial Road shopping area runs west from this intersection, consisting primarily of single storey shops although the State Savings Bank and, directly opposite, the National Bank are exceptions. The National Bank in its present form dates from c 1872 when architect George Jobbins was commissioned to remodel the facade and to erect an additional storey. Jobbins was also commissioned to design the premises of the Colonial Bank of Australasia (now the State Savings Bank) in 1876. The design of this bank closely relates to the National Bank in Warrnambool (1868-69) designed by Lloyd Tayler, Jobbins' former employer. Though there are a number of later intrusions in the Commercial Road area, some of them unfortunate, the prevailing kerbline verandah posts and valances are still sufficient to evoke a strong sense of the town's past. This is emphasised by the town's relative isolation, being by passed by all the major district highways.

I am soooo excited about this necklace! I really wanted to make a necklace that used cool colors in celebration of the winter-y weather that will soon arrive. :) This is very similar to another necklace I created using a rainbow of Swarovski crystals. These are not Swarovski, but a nice imitation... which means cheaper. haha.
Necklace designed and made by me!!

MEDIA STATEMENT: Gloucester and Camden residents and their supporters including iconic Australian actor Michael Caton bring their battle against coal seam gas to Sydney for the Annual General Meeting of AGL on Thursday 23 October 2014.
The residents are calling on AGL to immediately suspend its coal seam gas operations in Gloucester.
The group greeted shareholders as they arrived at the venue, informing them about AGL’s involvement in coal seam gas.
Residents also attended the AGM to ask questions about the company’s record of pollution incidents and licence breaches as well as the viability of proceeding with the Gloucester project in a volatile environment of strong community opposition.
There have been more than ten people arrested in the last 48 hours at the site where AGL is trying to begin fracking coal seam gas in Gloucester. The company brought its equipment trucks into the site at 4am on Monday morning.
The community have vowed to continue taking peaceful direct action to interrupt and delay the coal seam gas fracking over concerns it threatens human health, existing agriculture and tourism businesses, and the community’s water supply.
The fracking of four coal seam gas wells at Gloucester was approved by NSW Resources Minister Anthony Roberts in August 2014. This is the first coal seam gas fracking approved by the current NSW Government. AGL is planning to drill and frack 110 coal seam gas wells in the first stage of operations in Gloucester.
