Place Catasetums in a bright, well ventilated spot at least partially sunny. In nature, they grow well in almost full sun, but they prefer morning sun to afternoon sun because, although they like the light, they do not appreciate the very hot conditions of a Florida summer.

A unique place to visit
Coughton Court has been the home of the Throckmorton family since 1409. It holds a unique place in English history with its close connections to the Gunpowder Plot of 1605.
So much to see
Behind the Tudor gatehouse house you will find the courtyard with its fine Elizabethan half-timbering, where a knot garden leads to lawns and fine vistas of the Warwickshire countryside.
So much to do
The house stands in 25 acres of grounds containing some of the most breathtaking gardens in the country. It was Clare McLaren-Throckmorton's intention to create a garden that complements the beautiful house, and to give it the setting it deserves. She also wanted to create a wide variety of gardens: formal and informal, traditional and innovative. Created over the last 15 years, the gardens are now mature and varied and are solely managed by the Throckmorton family.

UNIQUE Poses - The Woodsman - Group Gift Nov 2023
Unique earrings created with intricate off loom bead weaving in the shape of a fan, will add a dash of color and flair to any outfit. The palette was inspired by the bright colors worn by Friday Kahlo in her jewelry and clothing. Each bead was woven in by hand using brick stitch. The base, or starting point, is a small sterling silver closed jump ring - rows of tiny size 15 beads in matte black and shiny red and teal, accented by matte bronze size 11 beads, were woven in by hand using brick stitch and each bead has multiple passes of thread through it for a sturdy finished product. The ear wires are also sterling silver. The edging is done in picot stitch.

1850's "mirror mansion" built by identical twins Argalus Isaac and Augustus Ira Foote.
Speculated underground railroad site, Al Capone moonshine still
For years, this old place lie rotting away just a short trip through the woods from my home. I was in it when I was young and later in my teens. I knew it was there but didn't think much of it. Sure I loved old houses - the workmanship and the history - but it wasn't until crazy stories told to me captured my imagination. Stories of secret stairways, underground tunnels, and stories of moonshine and gangsters - then I was curious of the old, boarded up building. Were there tunnels? Was there, truly, rings in the basement walls and blood spattered upon them from some unfortunate incident? Were there bars on the basement windows? There was some truth to some of it, but how much? I headed to the library to seek information.... and the courthouse, many, many times
It was there I learned the story of twin brothers, born in 1817, who shared a deep brotherly love through out their life. It's been said they had a double wedding, Argalus married Adelia, and Augustus married Anna, making a complete foresome of "AF" initials. So close they were, after moving from Massachusetts in the early 1850's, they had constructed a home for two families. One side of the house was the mirror image of the other side just like the brothers themselves. It is said that they furnished their sides the same and that the interior decorating was of the highest quality. Things were good. The brothers farmed their 300 acres (and more) of virgin land and Argalus and Adelia started building their family with sons Andrew, William, and Frank. The place was the pride of the countryside... but fate intervened. Anna Foote died during childbirth just before Christmas, 1855. The little daughter, Mary, followed her mother a few months later. As you can imagine, Augustus was devestated. Suddenly things became unequal between the two. Contrary to what is written out there, the Foote brothers carried on with life despite what was planned to be. Augustus lived with his sister, Sara, and mother, Rebecca, until they both past away as well. Come 1870 census, Augustus no longer lived there. Too much personal tragedy probably drove him away. In his place lived farmhands and a domestic servant or two. Once Argalus' wife past away in 1876, the decision was made to move away. Argalus' three sons had grown and left as well. Everyone moved to Oshkosh and established the Foote Brothers Milling Co. Their home sat empty and became known as "Foote's Folly."
The mansion was bought by a family who raised horses and soon there were stables of fine horses and a racetrack was set up behind the house. Some eleven years later, they moved on, and the place sat empty. The place changed hands numerous times until the present owner bought it in 1934. But just prior to that, the place was one of speculation and concern.
Stories of covered trucks coming and going through the night and gangsters living there had the town of Eureka concerned. Once a place of admiration, now it was a place to avoid. Rumors soon circulated of a machine gun, on a turret, being mounted in the cupola. There were ideas of who they were, and to this day, Al Capone's name comes up. Their time passed there as well.
In 1935, a local women's group held a Halloween tour at the huge place. People came from everywhere for their chance to see the house, something of a legend already. To this day, their names are written on the walls of that time as well as others. So much admiration....
A lot of damage and deterioration came into play after that. Numerous articles in papers were written about it, a few photos taken, but nothing to save it from ruin. The coils and boilers from the moonshine days were lying out by a shed back in the 60's as evidence of it's moonshine days.
Armed with my new found knowledge of the house, I had a entirely new sense of admiration for the place. It was the twins dream house. It was an enormous place and being there, I felt like I was in another era - another time. The structure is - was - quite a place to walk up to. Very massive and overwhelming, yet somewhat personally romantic with it's remaining Italianate gingerbread. It was hauntingly beautiful and I was completely drawn to it.... To imagine what it looked like - to "see" it with all the shutters, windows, and massive front porch. Fantastic...
Investigating it further, I noticed the remains of a carriage loop in the front yard from all those years ago. Inside the 7000 sq ft house were sagging floors covered with falling plaster and busted lathe. Remains of peeling wall and ceiling papers clung to twelve foot ceilings, hand-grained woodwork, ceiling medallions with remains of chandeliers in each of the four parlors, etc. There were two kitchens linked to twin dining rooms graced by huge bay windows. Upstairs there were 9 bedrooms, each with built in show closets, located off a 80ft hallway. The three staircases were open but the spindles were long gone. A hidden flight of steps led to the cupola which was once encased in 16 double hung windows.
The fabled tunnel was no longer open, but found to be mortared shut in the basement and sealed off on the other end. I spoke to a man who tried to dig it out when he was a kid in the 40's. What could be in there? I wonder to this day.... Did the Foote's set a lantern out on the porch years ago for those runaway slaves to spot? Was it another spot along the way towards freedom in Canada? It may forever remain a mystery.
It was a place of broken dreams from another place in time. It became a place riddled with rumors and speculation - a legend in itself. Those who desired to save it, couldn't find a way. A place admired by many but now it faces a fate of it's own. Even the fact of being potentially eligible for National Registry status wasn't enough.
The brothers lived out their lives together in New London, Wi, with Argalus' son, Andrew. It is written in one of their obituaries that, I quote, "they were impossible to tell apart and shared everything through out life. Their minds were but one thought it seems and their pleasures and sorrows were shared together. Their pocketbooks were combined, and neither knew what a quarrel was.That they trusted each other in ways that few brothers ever could. Living into their early '80s, before the time of Augustus' passing it was said they were the oldest surviving twins in the United States." Augustus past away in 1901 and was laid to rest beside his wife and daughter who lives were tragically cut short so many years before, and Argalus, the following year. A short mile away, the family is buried together in a family plot marked by a tall, white spire. The brothers still together just like they had been all their lives.
Cheetahs are amazing apex predators, and one of the only big cats that can not roar. Another unique feature of the cheetah is that their claws are semi-retractable, unlike their big cat cousins who have fully retractable claws. Cheetahs claws do not fully retract because they are used to grip the ground while chasing fast-moving prey.
Day three on the island.
And if all goes well, just five hours work, and time to do some exploring.
Here's hoping.
After two splendid days of warm, sunny and fine weather, it was on the change today, with high cloud above, and the sea already beginning to be disturbed.
It would only get rougher through the day.
I went down for breakfast at twenty past seven, had my usual of fruit followed by sausage and bacon butty and a whole pot of coffee, while watching the ferries come and go out in the Solent.
And as I had a pass card to get in the factory, I could leave when I wanted to be there for half eight and the opening meeting.
Traffic into Newport was worse, but I was in no hurry, and I arrived at twenty past eight, clocked in and made myself at hoem in the conference room.
Eyes down!
We worked through the morning, and then I had unch of sandwiches, crisps and chocolate. It was like a birthday party, really.
We had the closing meeting, I presented my findings, and we all said thanks. And I was done. Now, I had planned two days, but we covered everything, so I had some two hours to explore.
So, my first target was Godshill.
The modern village looks unpromising, but up Church Hill to the older part: and wow.
A semi-circle of thatched hobbit-style houses, with the tower of All Saints above the thatched roof line. Shame about the parked cars, otherwise it would be picture box perfect.
I found a place to park, and took lots of shots, and walked towards the church, where I found two couples looking round, getting in the way of my pictures!
Oh no.
But they moved and I got my shots, the tombs, the rood screen (a replica) and everything else. And then walking out and the houses spread out below as a large party of ramblers rambled past.
My interior shots make it seem crowded with icons, statues, lecterns and such, but that's not how I remember it. Nice wall tomb, and a fine funerary mantle over a tomb cut into the wall between the Chancel and south chapel.
In the north chapel, behind a full length curtain, and beyond what doubles as the vestry, was a family memorial that reached to the ceiling, and busts of the couple looked out, mournfully.
------------------------------------------
Here people have worshipped for about a millennium. Before that it was a major pagan holy site, perhaps going back further thousands of years. The island was the last part of England to be converted to Christianity (C7) and we know a stone church was built here in the reign of Edward the Confessor (1042-66). Legend tells how the builders started to erect a church at the bottom of the hill only to find the stones repeatedly miraculously transported to the top. This it seemed was where God wanted the church and so that is where they built it. After the Norman invasion in 1066 the church was rebuilt and the building you are in is the fourth on the site. It dates to the middle of the fourteenth century, around the time of the Black Death, and is in Perpendicular style. A piscina (for washing Mass vessels) from the original Saxon church is incorporated into the wall to the right of the South altar.
One of the features of this church is that, as you can see, it is a double church. The north church belonged to the parish; the southern church was for the workers at nearby Appuldurcombe Priory. In the middle arches are slots where a wooden partition separated the two. The priest’s door, usually in the south wall, is therefore in the north wall. The door through which you entered dates back to the Cl4 church. The roof beams are mostly original (and resemble overturned ships), as are the windows, but not the stained glass. The lovely C20 stained glass window in the north wall was created by William Morris’ studio.
In the chapel on the South side is a most precious wall painting of Christ crucified, not on a wooden cross, but a lily branch. Known as the Lily Cross it is unique in this country. It was painted circa 1450 by an unknown Renaissance artist, possibly Italian. At that time the whole interior of the church would have been brightly painted with religious scenes (traces have been found on other walls). In the Cl6 and C17 Puritans ensured that these works of art were scrubbed off and church interiors lime-washed white. It is probable that the Lily Cross survived because it was carefully covered over to hide it. lt was rediscovered in 1842. The rood beam across the south church, with the figures of Jesus on the cross, Mary his mother and St John, is a replica of what would have been there in the Middle Ages.
Appuldurcombe Priory was “acquired” by Henry Vlll and rented to the Leigh family. On the tomb between the altars, the figures of Sir John and his wife Agnes have their feet, not on the usual dogs, but on boars (the cause of his death). The monks on the bottom of their shoes are praying for their souls (soles get it?).T he memorial on the north wall shows their daughter Anne and her husband, Sir James Worsley, at He had been Henry Vlll’s whipping boy, taking his punishments for him. (For this reason he was given the Appuldurcombe estate on his marriage to Anne.) The helmet has been recently dated to the C14 and was worn in battle by a Leigh, perhaps in the Hundred Years War against France. The church is full of the Worsley family memorials. One by the altar commemorates two young sons killed in a gunpowder accident at Appuldurcombe. The memorial to Richard Worsley (famous for suing his wife’s lover and getting only one shilling damages) is so grandiose and ostentatious that it has been hidden behind the organ; it is known locally as the bath tub. The St George statue commemorates a Godshill nineteen year old soldier killed in 1944. The latest memorial, right of the door, is for Admiral Sir Dudley Pound, First Sea Lord in WW ll. In the churchyard, on the left as you leave, is the CWGC maintained grave of an Irish soldier, a casualty in WW1, who died of wounds in the parish.

Everywhere I've seen Puffins they nest in burrows in the ground above cliffs and on islands. At Bempton Cliffs they nest, uniquely, in crevices in the cliff face because the soil above the cliffs is not deep enough to make a burrow
Postcards from Grand Chien
Grand Chien is a fictional African country and the setting of Jagged Alliance 3, which served as the inspiration for this MOC. The build features several characteristic elements of its world:
- A village loosely based on one of the starting maps – Ernie Village.
- Low-rise, light structures (including a bar, a workshop, a sports field, and a market).
- A savannah-style color palette (though the game itself features much more diverse landscapes depending on the region).
- Palm trees and dense scrubland.
- Opponents from the Legion
- Several side characters and NPCs.
- And most importantly: the mercenaries that the player recruits, manages, and commands (each with their own unique personality and skills).
Additional elements I’ve added:
- General visiting the village
- A reporter
- A moustache man sitting at a table

2x Unique (Jade)
SEEEENTA QUE LÁ VEM HITÓRIA...
(Não precisa ler tudo, lá em baixo eu falei sobre o esmalte)
Oioi, alguém aqui?
Então, comprei o tal kit-de-valor-exorbitante-da-Jade. Mas tenho uma boa explicação...
Faz aproximadamente 5 anos que queria ir à BF, mas sempre acontecia alguma coisa e eu não conseguia. Este ano um conhecido meu estava expondo e me deu o convite, aí não tinha desculpa!
Gente, que HORROR! Aquilo estava mais lotado que 25 de março (umas 7x mais cheio, sem exageros), mais lotado que as lojas do Paraguai, mais lotado que a feirinha da Liberdade. Eu simplesmente não consegui ver nada de marca nenhuma, todos os stands ABARROTADOS de gente. É óbvio que eu sabia que seria bem cheio, mas não fazia ideia de que não conseguiria ver absolutamente NADA.
Sem contar que na entrada não me deram mapa, e quando pedi a moça disse que tinha acabado, que eu tinha que tentar conseguir um dentro da feira. Fiquei um tempão rodando, parecendo uma barata tonta, sem nem conseguir saber onde era o stand do meu conhecido. Depois de muito esforço, peguei o ÚLTIMO mapa que estava com uma segurança em uma das saídas. A essa altura eu já estava put@ da vida, querendo ir embora, desistir. Nem no stand do meu amigo eu consegui ir direito, consegui dar uma olhada rápida, e estava uma loucura. Também não encontrei com ele lá pra dizer: "Oi, eu vim apreciar sua marca!".
Foi então que a luz no fim do túnel acendeu: Me deparei com o stand da Jade até que vazio, consegui até entrar e ver tudo com calma!
No fim, o kit foi presente do meu marido e funcionou para me acalmar, porque nem eu estava me aguentando de tão chata. E foi isso, foi a única coisa que consegui fazer na feira, então não me arrependo. Se não fosse o stand da Jade SALVADOR DE RELACIONAMENTOS eu nem sei se ainda estaria casada hahaha
Sobre o esmalte
Sinceramente um dos mais lindos que teho na minha coleção. O efeito multichrome dele não é tããão aparecido. É sim bastante notável e varia do amarelo esverdeado, cobre ao rosado. Mas o holo é a coisa mais linda. É o autêntico holo foderástico da Jade, mas fica com reflexos rosados no meio, uma coisa maravilhosa. E durou quatro dias nas minhas unhas! Fiquei completamente apaixonada. A foto é do celular porque estava indo trabalhar e pasma com a beleza dele no sol. E as que tirei da câmera ficaram uma bosta.
Sobre minha ausência
A internet estava me consumido, consumindo minha vida. Eram aproximadamente 5h diárias não necessariamente ininterruptas. Dei um basta e estou mantendo uma distância. Até desativei temporariamente meu facebook já deve fazer mais de um mês.
É isso...
Bjo!
