Mission: Endgame
Location: Sickbay
Timeline: MD12 || 0400 Hours

The symbiont slowly becoming aware of its situation. There was no way to determine how long it had been unconscious - could have been hours, or even days, for all it knew. But the one thing it did know, was that the Host was also unconscious. Temerant's thoughts were quiet, with only occasional bursts coming through the link. He might be sleeping, or -

The symbiont remembered. The pain from the shoulder injury, the exhaustion stemming from the blood loss, and the sudden loss of balance.

Was it possible that it was now in another Host?

No. The Host was still unconscious, but there was a familiarity here that would have been absent in another Host. And the symbiont was usually awake during a Joining. No, he was still Temerant Bast.

A sound.

The symbiont had heard something. Temerant's thoughts were becoming louder now, gaining in cohesion. Some sounds were beginning to register. A few beeps. Faint, distant voices. A slow, steady beeping. A biobed?

Camila sat by the side of the biobed where Temerant had been laying with a PADD in her hand. She was reading a tale from Trill that involved the first Joining and didn't notice anything from where he lay.

Temerant slowly opened his eyes. The lights were dimmed, but he could make out a few shapes and silhouettes. He turned his head, and saw a familiar face sitting next to the biobed. The one face he wanted to see the most - the only face he wanted to see, really.

"Hello," he whispered, his voice hoarse, and barely audible.

The sound of his voice, even if it was just barely heard caused the omber haired acting XO to drop the PADD and look at him to make sure that she had heard him speak and it wasn't just in her head. The sight of his open eyes made tears come to hers and she leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to his lips. "I...I never thought I'd see you again," she said, her voice cracking.

"The rumors of my death..." he began, his voice still weak and struggling to catch his breath, "may have been slightly overstated... But only slightly."

He wanted to reach up and stroke her cheek, run his fingers through her hair, pull her closer to him, but his arms still felt too weak. He smiled, and looked into her eyes. "I couldn't leave you behind now could I?"

Camila pulled back for a moment to look him over before she reached for a pitcher of cold water and poured a glass. She touched a control to raise the biobed up to make him a bit more comfortable and offered the glass to him. "Temerant..." she started. "You can't keep doing this to yourself....not when I realize that I love you."

"I'll make sure the Selamat get a memo regarding your objections," he whispered. Then the rest of her words registered, and a smile lit up his face. "Took you long enough," he said.

She took his hand and gave it a gentle squeeze as she met his hazel eyes. "I was in no shape to reciprocate when you told me you loved me in sickbay, Temerant. I didn't realize it until after you were gone and I had time to worry myself sick."

Memories started coming back to him. The Selamat. The asteroid. The base. The Cochrane. Explosions. The ship shaking, and then... Nothing.

"The Cochrane," he said. "Is the crew safe?"

"They are as far as I know," Camila said, still holding his hand. "You wouldn't be here, otherwise. Some of them got banged up pretty bad, but it could have been a lot worse." She paused and fought to maintain eye contact with him. "I kept fearing that I'd lose you and didn't know what to do other than throw myself into my duties and work double and triple shifts when I wasn't drinking myself to sleep."

In his normal state, Temerant would probably have countered that it was nothing to worry about. That he had enough life experience by now for her not to worry about such things, that he would always find a way. That self-sacrifice was part of their duty as officers, to ensure the safety of their ship, their crewmates. And that it wouldn't do anyone any good for her to be so hard on herself. But as it was, he was still too weak to mount a proper reply. His brain still felt like it was wrapped in cotton candy.

As it was, all he could think of to say was, "Didn't mean to scare you."

"You didn't scare me, Temerant," Camila said softly as a tear slid down her cheek. "It wasn't your fault. All I could think of was what you were going through and the fact that I'm the one who made the suggestion for the Black Hawk to leave instead of staying to fight."

"You can't blame yourself," he replied. "If you'd stayed the Black Hawk would have been captured too. And we would have been much worse off."

"I'm just glad you're back," Camila said as she leaned down to give him a soft kiss. "Do you want something to drink or any messages that I can pass along for you?"

Temerant took her hand, and pulled it close to him. "I have everything I could ever want right here."

She leaned in when he pulled her closer and gave him a soft kiss. "You are an amazing man, Temerant Bast, and I'll be by your side no matter what. Once things get settled, if you want me to, I'd be happy to move in with you."

He smiled and fought the pain to bring her hand to his lips. "I think I might be the luckiest man this side of the wormhole to have found you," he said. He kissed her hand.

He wanted to wrap his hands around her. He wanted to hold her, and be with her, and cut off the outside world so they could just be together. But he knew that wasn't possible for now. The universe seemed to be conspiring to keep them apart. But they would prevail, he was sure of it.

The professional part of him wanted to ask her how the ship was holding up, and the makeshift repairs they'd made by integrating material from the Chimera. But the injuries had taken their toll, and he felt weary, worn out, and utterly exhausted. He couldn't feel his left shoulder, and moving his left arm was impossible.

"Did Doctor Kij tell you anything about my injuries?" he asked her.

Camila shook her head. "No one has told me anything," she said softly. "I don't need to know anything as long as you're alive and awake. You shouldn't force yourself to do anything, either. I mean that and as the Chief of Security, I will enforce it."

"Will handcuffs be involved?" he said, smiling lopsidedly.

But it was apparent that his energy was wearing thin. His body was still struggling to repair itself, and his eyelids were getting heavy.

"Worse," she said. "My love." She saw that he was ready to pass out again and placed a gentle kiss on his lips. "Get some sleep. I'll be here when you wake up or a combadge away. I love you, Temerant."

I love you more, he thought in his head, in his final conscious moment before falling asleep. His lips quivered as they tried to form the words, but only a grunt was audible. His hand went limp on hers, and he slept.

Oral History Program

American Heritage Center

Filling in the documentary gaps within the areas of national, regional, and state business industries and politics is of key importance to the Simpson Institute. Oral history is a powerful tool that enables us to capture different perspectives, most of which cannot be found in written sources. What is oral history? It is the collection and study of historical information about individuals, families, important events, or everyday life using audiotapes or videotapes and transcriptions of planned interviews. Interviews are conducted with people who participated in or observed past events and whose memories and perceptions of these are preserved as an aural record for future generations.

Wyoming's Energy Booms and Busts: An Oral History program explores the social, environmental, and economic impacts of Wyoming's latest energy boom. The program interviews those involved in, and impacted by, the activities to develop and extract the state's coal, natural gas, and wind energy. Funding is provided by the Wyoming Humanities Council, the University of Wyoming School of Energy Resources, and the American Heritage Center.

The Milward L. Simpson Family Oral History Program focuses on the generations of the Simpson family whose history has been interwoven with the history of Wyoming for more than one hundred years. This project is funded through the generosity of Denver businessman Carl Williams.

JAT Capital Receives $250M Investment from Unnamed Investor

JAT Capital Management L.P, with over $1.9 billion worth of assets under management, has reported a net performance of (9.2)%  for its  second quarter, which ended June 30th, 2012. The company was formed in 2007 by  John A. Thaler, and has a portfolio that is dominated by long positions across various business sectors. JAT capital’s main sectors are Technology, Media and Telecoms (TMT), and Travel, Leisure and Gaming (TLG)

JAT Capital Receives $250M Investment from Unnamed Investor

JAT Performance Attribution

The hedge fund firm reported a net return of (17.4)% on its long positions during the quarter, while its short potions  reported a return of 8.7%. The results compounded with first quarter figures, amounted to a 1.2% return year to date (YTD) return on JAT Capital’s long positions, while the short positions returned (20.6)% for the first half, resulting to a net YTD return of  (20.1)%, after other income and expenses stood at (0.5%) quarter to date (QTD) and YTD (1.1%).

Nonetheless, inception to date gross returns stand at (ITD) 23.9% for the total, with long positions pegged at a whopping 52%, while short positions are standing at (15.4%), and other income and expenses are at (12.8%), since the company was formed five years ago.

JAT Portfolio Allocation

A majority of the company’s funds are invested in the technology sector( 36.5%), and Internet sector (26.3%), while Telecom services hold 11.4% of the $1.9 billion plus fund. JAT has also put some 10.3% in the industrial sector, with the gaming sector attracting 4.6%. Finally, the company has invested 2.2% in the consumer goods sector, while 1.4% goes to various other sectors.

Despite holding the least value in the funds portfolio, the consumer goods industry declined most, recording a 6.5% loss to the fund during the quarter, or nearly 15% YTD, while the internet sector lost out 3.2% QTD. The biggest gainer was the telecom sectors at 1.8%, followed closely by the technology sector at 1.7%. The picture could have been bad, had the firm not reduced the amount invested in Consumer goods, from an overwhelming 59% to approximately 4% as of June 30th, 2012.

Nearly 85% of the company’s investments are within the the confines of the U.S and Canadian geographical market segment, while crises struck Europe holds 6.2% of the 1.9 billion fund. The most populated continent, Asia, holds 6.6%, while Latin America and the rest of the world scramble for 2.5%.

JAT Future Outlook

The company has issued a new series of shares, series C, and claims that an investor has already agreed to invest, subject to a minimum investment amount of $250million.

U.S.-based venture capital firm plans investment in B.C. biotech companies

Gillian Shaw, Vancouver Sun

A California-based venture capital firm specializing in life sciences, with more than $1.6 billion in assets under management, has targeted British Columbia for investment, opening an office here and investing $10 million in a new company that will be managed by its Vancouver biotech team.

Versant Ventures’ drug discovery incubator Inception Sciences recently entered into a deal with Bayer Healthcare to create Inception 4, a company focusing on the development of drugs to treat retinal eye disease, such as age-related blindness.

Following a successful “build to buy”’ model Versant pioneered several years ago, the Vancouver operation will develop a drug that already has a pre-structured exit in that Bayer has agreed to buy it when certain milestones are reached.

“This is a new trend emerging in venture capital as a way for increasing return on investment and it’s very attractive to pharma because it provides them with a way of sharing risk and capital in discovery research,” said Jerel Davis, who is heading up Versant’s new Canadian office, located at the same Great Northern Way address as QLT headquarters.

“The unit here in Vancouver is a sister to the successful unit we have created in San Diego where we have a group of great discovery researchers.”

Versant’s decision to set up an incubator in Vancouver is good news for B.C.’s biotech sector, said Paul Drohan, president and CEO of LifeSciences B.C.

“This is a great signal for the B.C. biotech sector that the good signs we saw from the U.S. … the initial public offerings and the amount of capital being injected into biotech have been significantly increased in 2013 and now we are starting to see that north of the border in Vancouver, which is fantastic,” he said.

“We hope this isn’t the last,” he said. “We hope there is more to come when they see the success Versant will have in Vancouver.”

Unlike more traditional exit strategies that see entire companies sold, the Versant model will see only the drug sold with the research team that developed it staying together to work on the next drug discovery and development.

“We like to go into uncharted territory to find the raw material for new companies,” said Davis. “We have the unique ability to start companies from scratch … to look at areas where there is great science and start companies from scratch around that science.”

Davis outlined three reasons Versant opened its new office in British Columbia. Top of the list is talent — the company has former Merck Frosst Canada scientists from Montreal who have moved to Vancouver and Davis said Versant was able to build a team around the scientists.

“Number 2 is great untapped science” said Davis. “We believe there are few people looking at the science in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal.”

The third reason relates to the people involved in Versant. Versant managing director Brad Bolzon is Canadian and Davis’s wife is Canadian.

“It’s not a surprise to us that there is great talent in Canada and the quality of science is extremely high,” said Bolzon, who holds MSc and PhD degrees in pharmacology from the University of Toronto.

Inception 4, backed by $10 million in Series A financing from Versant, will be managed by Inception Sciences Canada, a Canadian arm of Versant’s U.S.-based Inception Sciences.

In turning its attention to Canada, Versant is following up on successes generated by its incubator in the U.S. Versant counts among its success stories Amira Pharmaceuticals, which sold to Bristol-Myers Squibb for $475 million US, with $325 million paid up front and potential milestone payments of $150 million

Inception Sciences was founded by the team that created Amira and since 2005 it has been the catalyst behind the launch of six pharmaceutical companies, which have generated close to 100 jobs in the San Diego area.

Versant also has a biotech incubator in Toronto, Blueline Bioscience, which, in collaboration with Celgene, is planning to launch companies focused in areas such as oncology and inflammation. It also plans to launch in the Quebec market in 2014.

Versant Ventures’ Vancouver office is located at 887 Great Northern Way, site of QLT headquarters. QLT was Vancouver’s biotech pioneer and its Visudyne treatment for age-related blindness propelled it to become one of Canada’s leading biotech companies. However, the company failed to produce another product to match Visudyne’s success and its workforce has been cut by more than 80 per cent. QLT sold Visudyne to Valeant Pharmaceuticals in September 2012.

The lost city of Granville, erased by Vancouver, springs back to life

John Mackie, Vancouver Sun

A couple of years ago, Daphne Sleigh wrote a biography of Vancouver’s first archivist, the legendary Major James Skitt Matthews.

The title: The Man Who Saved Vancouver.

This isn’t hype. Matthews was a force of nature who spent decades compiling photographs, documents and artifacts, then explaining their significance for future generations.

You often come across evidence of his work on photos at the city archives. Matthews would make detailed notes on the bottom of photos, sometimes writing them out by hand, other times with a typewriter.

A classic example is an 1884 photo I recently came across in The Sun files. The photo is of Granville, Vancouver’s name pre-incorporation. It’s a long, thin panorama of the waterfront, which shows a dozen buildings stretched out along today’s Water Street.

Matthews’ description of Granville is so thorough, his notes dwarf the actual photograph. But they’re so small in the print, they’re almost unreadable. So I decided to retype all 1,457 words, in his quirky style.

The numbers and letters correspond to buildings or sites on the panorama. Reading them really gives you a sense of the man, and the early history of Vancouver.

Here goes:

GRANVILLE B.I., alias “Gastown” (Burrard Inlet); circa 1884, original photo in Provincial Archives. Description by Major J.S. Matthews, City Archivist, 1938, assisted by John Murray, Mrs. Alice Crakanthorp, W. R. Lord, Calvert Simson, H.T. Otton, Theo. Bryant, A.A. Langley, all here before 1884. Street Ends Case, 1905.

Women well-represented at Olympics, but not yet treated as equals

Sean Fitz-Gerald, Postmedia News

London — She was one of the reasons the crowd clapped when Jacques Rogge, president of the International Olympic Committee, announced to a worldwide television audience that history was being made at the London Olympics. For the first time, he said, every country involved was sending a woman to compete: “This is a major boost for gender equality.”

Bahya Mansour Al Hamad was one of those women. Hours after that speech, she became the first woman from Qatar to compete at an Olympics — placing 17th in the 10-metre air rifle on Saturday — and when she finished her event, her own speech faltered.

She said she was happy, that she had lived a dream.

Her eyes welled.

“I’m so proud,” she said.

And then she was gone.

Not far behind her was another entrant who placed 34th despite being almost eight months pregnant. And behind both women were reams of stories about how many strides the IOC has made down the road to gender equality.

Women’s boxing is making its debut as an Olympic sport in London. The United States is fielding a team with more women then men for the first time. Canada’s team is comprised of 55.96 per cent women, the highest percentage in its Olympic history.

“I guess I would say to anybody who cares most about this issue: ‘make sure you look behind the story that’s being most actively presented,’” said Kathleen Lahey, a Queen’s University law professor. “I absolutely celebrate the inclusion of women on as many of the national teams as possible, and think that it is wonderful that women are being sent by every country that is in the competition.

“But to stop at that as a definition of equality is like saying, ‘wow, one member of Parliament from every province in Canada is a woman.’ It’s such a superficial, limited test of what the realities are.”

Lahey was part of a team at Queen’s, in Kingston, Ont., that helped prepare material for a British athlete launching a court challenge in London over the exclusion of women from canoe events. Women are only allowed to compete in kayak.

And that challenge, launched earlier this month, is an echo of another legal fight based on discrimination at the Olympics. In 2009, the B.C. Supreme Court said the IOC was wrong to have excluded women from ski jumping at the 2010 Olympic Games, but the court was powerless, because it did not have jurisdiction. (The IOC added women’s ski jump to the program for the 2014 Games in Sochi last year.) “It’s complete discrimination to not allow women to participate in some sports,” Lahey said. “But because the IOC insists, as a term of its base contract with a sponsoring country, that they surrender all decision-making authority and application of their own domestic laws to the Olympics, the contingent on the part of the IOC is that they don’t have to go by domestic equality principles.”

And despite the heavily promoted steps toward equality this month in London, there have been several steps backward. In two now infamous instances, those steps manifested physically, with women walking past male counterparts and back into economy class on their airplane.

Japan flew its men’s soccer team to Europe in first class, while its women’s team — the defending World Cup champion women’s team — travelled in coach. The rationale given was that the men’s team, an under-23 group, was comprised of professional players.

The story was repeated in Australia, where the men’s basketball team flew first class to Europe while the women flew coach. The Australian men have never won an Olympic medal, while the women have won silver in each of the last three Summer Games.

“It’s been a bit of a sore spot, especially since the women are much more successful,” former women’s captain Robyn Maher told The Sydney Morning Herald. “I’m yet to find a nice answer for it other than they’re male and we’re female. You’d hate that that’s the reason, but I’m sure it is.”

The explanation there was, in part, based on the idea the men needed more space than the women. That is not entirely true, though. Women’s player Liz Cambage, for example, is both taller (6-foot-8) and heavier (216 pounds) than men’s player Patrick Mills (5-foot-11, 187 pounds).

“Referring to the airplane class issue is an important way to highlight how pervasive these discriminatory attitudes in the whole Olympic structure really are,” Lahey said.

Badminton officials considered forcing female players to wear skirts in London, before backing away from the idea. The same idea wafted through boxing, before international attention helped to push it off the table.

“I really didn’t understand that,” boxer Claressa Shields told The Washington Post. “It was to help separate the men from the women. But we got different names! Women got breasts! We got butts! Can’t you tell which one is who?”

In London, women will box in three weight classes. The men will fight in 10.

“There are various types of gender discrepancies that sort of permeate the whole Olympic structure,” Lahey said. “And yes, incremental change is taking place, but the fact that it’s a change in one location doesn’t make the lack of change in another location more acceptable.”

Nur Suryani Mohd Taibi was never going to miss the Olympics, even though she was just weeks from delivering her daughter. The 29-year-old from Malaysia competed with Al Hamad on the range Saturday, placing 34th despite being almost eight months pregnant.

On her way through the mixed zone, where athletes and reporters meet, she paused when asked about what Rogge had said during the opening ceremony. Having each country send at least one woman to the Olympics might boost the cause, but it does not stand as the end of the movement toward equality. It is estimated 40 per cent of the participants in London are female, roughly double the percentage at the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal.

“Women and men can do whatever they can do,” Mohd Taibi said. “It’s not like men can only do the rough jobs, the challenging jobs. Women, also, can do. Maybe they open their mind and start to open their mind, and start to believe that … men have the strength, but women have the endurance.”

Recap: White Sox , Angels
 •  BT Movements
Game: 1
Venue: Angel Stadium of Anaheim
Date: September 24, 2010 10:05 PM EDT

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - After three straight AL West titles the Los Angeles Angels won't be part of this postseason.

The Angels were mathematically eliminated from postseason contention on Friday night, as Alex Rios hit a go-ahead RBI single in the ninth inning and Paul Konerko homered for the Chicago White Sox in a 2-1 victory that preceded the completion of Texas' 10-3 win at Oakland.

``Our season hasn't gone as we hoped, but I think we learned a lot from it,' Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. ``If you learn and get better from it, the trials and tribulations are worth it. If we can't learn or make adjustments from what we saw this year then we're just spinning our wheels. We're very confident in the fact that we see a team that still has that championship foundation, and that is what's going to keep us going.'

The Angels will miss the playoffs for the first time since 2006.

``We saw the writing on the wall,' outfielder Torii Hunter said. ``It's tough. This year we're eliminated. Nobody wants to be in this position at the end of the season, but unfortunately we're here. I forgot what this felt like, but it's a bad feeling. Going through everything we've got through, I think you sit back and look at it this offseason, make adjustments and come back ready to go next year.'

The White Sox, who were eliminated from postseason contention with Tuesday's loss at Oakland, tied the score 1-all in the fifth when Konerko ended a nine-pitch at-bat with his 38th home run into the lower seats in the left field corner.

``You want to do well personally, but you also want to win,' Konerko said. ``If you go back home without getting to the playoffs, you seem a little bit empty no matter how well you do personally. I've swung the bat well, but as one of the leaders on the club, you always think back to what you could have done to make things work out and get to the playoffs. But you can only do so much.'

Konerko is second in the AL behind Toronto's Jose Bautista, who leads the majors with 52.

``I can't imagine what it's like to hit 50,' said Konerko, who had a career-high 41 homers in 2004 and 40 more the following year when the White Sox won the World Series. ``I know what it takes to hit 20 and 30 and 40, but 50 seems impossible to me. So I tip my hat to him. He's having a heck of a year, so good for him.'

Francisco Rodriguez (1-4) took over in the ninth from starter Joel Pineiro and gave up a one-out walk to Juan Pierre, a single to Omar Vizquel and Rios' line drive to center field.

Matt Thornton (5-4) allowed two hits over two scoreless innings for the victory, retiring his final six batters after giving up singles to Peter Bourjos and Howie Kendrick to open the eighth.

Freddy Garcia allowed a run and four hits through six innings, struck out five and walked two in his first start since Sept. 7. Garcia came in 15-3 lifetime against the Angels with a 2.45 ERA.

Pineiro allowed a run and four hits over eight innings, striking out two and walking none in his second start off the disabled list. The right-hander got 13 groundball outs through the first five innings and 17 altogether.

``That's a sinkerballer for you. He's not necessarily trying to strike out guys, but get the groundballs,' Pierre said. ``You like to play behind guys like that because it keeps the tempo of the game going.'

Kendrick hit a leadoff triple in the fourth inning for the Angels' first hit and scored on Hunter's single.

Konerko ended an 0-for-18 drought with a second-inning single and was quickly erased on a double-play grounder by Manny Ramirez, who was booed vigorously by the crowd of 41,046 in his return to Southern California. Chicago is 9-12 since acquiring Ramirez on waivers from the Los Angeles Dodgers on Aug. 31.

Ramirez is batting .241 for the White Sox with one home run - his only RBI - and 19 strikeouts in 58 at_bats. When the 12-time All-Star joined the Dodgers at the non-roster trading deadline two seasons ago, he batted .396 with 17 homers and 53 RBIs in 53 games down the stretch to lead them to an NL West title. The following season, he received a 50-game suspension for failing a drug test.

``I know Manny for a long time. A lot of people think Manny's a toublemaker, but he's been great with us,' manager Ozzie Guillen said. ``I only have great things to say about him, and I think it was a good thing to bring the guy in here. He plays hard for me, he does everything he's supposed to do, and I'm very happy about it.

``Manny's had good at_bats,' Guillen added. ``He didn't play for like two months before he came here. So it's not easy, coming here and expecting to hit right away because Manny's not 22 years old anymore. ... There's no doubt in my mind that guy can still play and he can still hit. And if you give him the at_bats he needs, he will produce.'

NOTES: Hunter flied out in the first with a runner at third base, struck out with runners at second and third in the sixth, and fanned again with runners at the corners in the eighth. The four-time All-Star has had two run-scoring hits in a game just once since July 4, and only four times since April 30. ... The Angels' four stolen bases gave them at least 100 in each of the last 10 seasons, something no other team has done.

Portable Garden Beds Ideas

Vertical garden can save so much space and it is relatively cleaner. You can use both the ordinary plastic shoe rack as well as the hanging shoe organizer. If you use the hanging shoe organizer, you can put the soil and the plants directly in the pockets. However, if you prefer to use the plastic shoe rack, you will need some small pots to put the plants. If you live in a place with extreme weather, using the shoe rack is more preferable since the plastic cover can be a protector for your plants like a greenhouse.

Wheelbarrow Garden

Using wheelbarrows as your portable garden beds has some amazing advantages. Wheelbarrow is very easy to move thanks to the wheels and the handles. Wheelbarrows belong in the garden so it is a very nice way to achieve a natural yet quirky look in your garden. Unlike other portable garden materials, you don’t have to compromise with the size of the plants if you use wheelbarrows. You can put eye catching medium sized flowers there and paint the wheelbarrows to make it more attractive. You don’t have to worry about the weight because you still can easily move it. Once again thanks to the wheel.

Terrarium Garden

Victor’s Way

Way Victor  (formerly  Way Victoria  ), located near  Roundwood  ,  County  Wicklow  ,  Ireland  , is a remarkable private meditation garden for its black granite sculptures. The 9-hectare property includes a number of small lakes and wooded areas. A plaque at the entrance indicates that the park is dedicated to the cryptographer  Alan Turing .

The park closed in 2015 under  the  name of ”  Victoria’s Way”  with the owner saying,  “Too many excursionists have become a fun park for parents with children, designed as a contemplative garden for over 28 years. but was then reopened as  Victor’s Way  on April 15, 2016 with new age restrictions and higher entry fees. [3]  The change of name actually amounts to its original name  [4]

The park is open to the public during the summer months (15 April – 25 September), with admission for adults only with a minimum contribution.

Most of the statues in the park are in  black granite  , some in  bronze  and 1.5 to 4.9 m high. [5]  The first structure at the entrance is a sculptured tunnel based on the idea of the  dentate vagina  . The first statue added to the park was the fasting Buddha. [6]

Eight statues are dedicated to  Ganesha  , showing the god of the elephant dancing, reading and playing musical instruments. [7]  All Ganesha sculptures were made in  Tamil Nadu  ,  India  , and each took five artisans a year to do. [8]

Other statues include a large python-shaped seat, a solitary index pointing to the sky, and interpretations of  Buddha  ,  Shiva  ,  Eve  and others.

Many sculptures include small patterns of modernity, such as a small pint of  Guinness  next to a Ganesha and a cell phone nestled in the back of a hungry Buddha. [9]

The park is owned and maintained by Victor Langheld, born in 1940 in  Berlin  and lived with a number of different religious orders in Thailand, Japan and Sri Lanka. [10] The  family legacy allowed Langheld to spend most of his adult life traveling to spiritual sites in  Asia  , before traveling to Ireland and sponsoring the construction of the sculpture park.

Langheld designed most of the sculptures,  [8]  and continues to organize the park and welcome visitors. Continue reading

Victoria’s Way

Feeling a little lost on this winding path called life? Need to discover your ultimate goal and feel at peace with yourself? Perhaps you should venture into County Wicklow, Ireland, and look at a statue of a man howling with agony as he cuts his head in two.

The Split Man is one of the sculptures of  Victoria’s Way , a garden built to inspire self-reflection. Creator Victor Langheld established the park in 1989 after traveling to India in search of spiritual enlightenment. He describes it on his  website:

The Victoria Way was conceived as a contemplative space used by individuals (ie, single people) between the ages of 28 and 60 who feel the need to assess the quality and direction of their lives. It is a sort of pilgrimage of self-re-evaluation and self-reorientation.

The process of rebirth begins at the door – to enter the park, you walk through a large black granite dentist vagina guarded by a stone snake. Then, it is time to confront the seven sculptures of the forest that will bring you from pain and confusion to self-actualization

Mullingar (in Irish an Muileann gCearr , ie “the mill gauchi”) is a city in the center of Ireland , 80 kilometers from Dublin . It is the administrative center of the county of Westmeath in Ireland and is the seat of the Catholic diocese of Meath . The city had 20,103 inhabitants at the 2010 census, making it the largest city in Westmeath County. The city has services such as libraries, high schools, gymnasiums, art centers, a train station and the stadium of the GAA  : the Cusack-park.

Renowned for livestock in its markets, the city has given birth to the Irish expression “having meat on his heels like a heifer of Mullingar” (a remark mocking the well-wrapped young girls of the ankles).

Monuments include the monastery of Augustine whose brotherhood has disappeared, the wall of Jealousy Wall , 55 meters long , the largest false ruin in Ireland, on the lands of Belvedere House. See also Fore Abbey (Fore Abbey) .

The city is covered by two newspapers: the Westmeath Topic , and the Westmeath Examiner , the latter with the largest circulation in Westmeath County in the second half of 2006.

The town of Mullingar is mentioned for the first time in a manuscript of the xii th  century one called The Life of Saint Colman 2 , Lynn, who is kept in the Library of Rennes in France.

It was founded around 1186 by Guillaume Petit , a Norman baron , who had built a castle overlooking the river Brosna where the county buildings are now located.

Mullingar today

Singers Joe Dolan and the Swarbrigg brothers , as well as Michael O’Leary of Ryanair have recently lived in Mullingar. Niall Horan of the boys band One Direction was born here. The surrounding areas are also famous for their lakes: Lough Owel , Lough Ennell , Lough Lene and Lough Derravaragh which attract anglers, windsurfers and hikers. Lough Derravaragh and Lough Lene are best known for their connection to the Irish legend of King Lir’s children . After being transformed into swans, the children of King Lir spent three hundred years on the Lough Derravaragh during their tragic adventures.

Recently, the tin articles of the Mullingar Pewter plant located near the city have become one of Mullingar’s main exports. Small sculptures, the “pilgrims”, enthroned in the windows of the various shops of Austin Friers street are also world famous.

Mullingar hosted the Fleadh Cheoil 3 in 1951 (creation) and in 1963.

Ferns, County Wexford

Ferns (Irish: Fearna , meaning “al trees” card Fearna Mór Maedhóg ) is a historic town in the north of County Wexford, Ireland. It is 16 km (10 mi) from Enniscorthy, därGorey Enniscorthy N11 road joins the R745 regional road. The remains of Ferns Castle is in the center of the city.

View of Ferns from the castle tower.

Ferns are thought to have formed in the 6th century, when the monastery was founded in 598 dedicated to St. Mogue of Clonmore (St.Aidan) who was a bishop of ferns. [7] The city became the capital icon Kingdom of Leinster and also the capital of Ireland when the kings of the south part of the province established its headquarters in power. It was a very big city yet, but shrunk in the fire that destroyed most of the time. The city stretched all the way down and longer than the River Bann (tributary of the River Slaney), if it is not burned, it has been one of Ireland’s largest cities idag.Kung Dermot MacMurrough founded St. Mary Abbey as a house of the Augustinian Canons c. 1158 and was buried there in 1171. [8]

Ferns Castle, an Anglo-Norman fortress built in the 13th century by William the Earl Marshall. Today, about half of the castle remains. The city also contains 13th century St Edan’s Cathedral (Church of Ireland) this Cathedral is not the original, but the ruins of the original can be found a few meters away from the existing and the existing cathedral today is not fully restored cathedral that was supposed to be (there was order by queen Elizabeth in the construction of its former self of O’Byrnes Wicklow but they only returned part), which is the cathedral today. It can be seen as an artifact and a museum, and of course a church. The tower and the Chapter House was put on in the 19th century. There are also several high crosses and parts of the cross.

The old Catholic Church was at the northern end of town to the 1970s, when there was a roof problems. Parish Priest at the time ordered it, the clearance by the parish to demolish it. A convent is St. Aidan convent of worship now in its stead.

The foundation stone for the new church of St. Aidan was on the Feast of St. Aidan January 31, 1974 the foundation stone is on the northwest corner of the wall of the church at the entrance to the sacristy. The new Catholic church was completed in 1975. During the 2000s, the new church went under a major renovation since it also had a roof leakage problems of the roof and so on, there was an earlier roof problems 15 years after the church was built.They replaced the slate with new composite metal materials, the interior is also renovated and some minor changes were made to the appearance of the building.

A plaque listing the names of parish priests, from 1644, is on the wall to the right of the altar next to the organ. The organ in St.Aidan Catholic Church is more than 100 years old and used to be a “pump” body until the parish changed it into electricity. The pipe organ was transferred from the old church to the new church, and is still in use. Denanglikanska Cathedral and New Catholic Church is open daily Anglican Cathedral – all day and The New Catholic Church – 09:00 until around 4:00, usually or sometimes later on Fridays.

19th century the population reached a peak in 1851, but never reached the levels of the middle ages. Lewis topography of 1834 claimed the town “consists mainly of an irregular street, and includes 106 houses indifferently built, retains no trace of its former significance.” [9] The Abbey, St. Peter’s Church (Catholic and Anglican), and the rest of the great cathedral considered as holy places and is regarded as the Church still this includes the monastery now has the title of a church and monastery.

Lough Mask

Lough Mask (Irish: Loch Measca ) is a limestone lough (lake) of 20,500 acres (83 km²) in County Mayo, Ireland, north of Lough Corrib. Lough Mask is in the middle of the three lakes, which flow into the Corrib River, through Galway, Galway Bay. Carra flows into Lough Mask, which feeds into Lough Corrib through an underground stream that becomes the River Cong .Lough Mask is the sixth largest lake by area, in Ireland. [1] The eastern half of the Lough Mask is shallow and contains many islands . The other half (Upper Lough Mask) is much deeper, drops to a long ditch with depths exceeding 50 meters. [2] Lough Mask has an average depth of 15m and a maximum depth of 58. [3] The water volume of 1.3 km 3 [4] is only surpassed by the Lough Neagh is 3.5 km 3 in Ireland and it is the largest lake by volume of water in Ireland. [5]

The lake is popular for its trout fishing. The World Cup Trout Fly Fishing Championship takes place annually on Lough Mask Cushlough Bay near Ballinrobe. [6]

In 1338, Sir Edmond de Burgh was drowned in the lake with his cousin Sir Edmond Albannach Bourke County Mayo, in the late Burke civil war from 1333 to 1338. He was captured and taken to påBallinrobe Oilean-a-lara (Earls Island) where he was killed.

The Lough was the scene of 1882 “Lough Mask Murder”, when two bailiffs working for Lord Ardilaun killed, described as “an old man and a boy.” [7]Tensions had occurred in the area during the land wars and the proximity of land managed Charles Boycott. The corpses were found in the lough itself.The controversial lack of credible witnesses led to four well-publicized trials of the accused in 1882-1883.

According to local legend, a banshee haunting Lead Island, a small island in Lough. It has also been rumored sightings of a banshee around the shores of Lough and other forms of paranormal activity.

Petersburg Outdoor Education Center is located on the shores of Lough near Lead Island. The center uses the lake for many water sports including kayaking, canoeing and sailing.

It is known locally as “Reek”, an Irish English word for “rick” or “stack”.[3] In pagan times it was known as Cruachan Aigle , referred to by that name in the sources Cath Maige Tuired , [4] Buile Shuibhne , [5] meters Dindshenchas, [6] and the Annals of Ulster record for the year 1113. [7] Cruachan is simply a diminutive of Cruach “stack”, but it is not certain what Aigle funds. It is either from the Latin loan aquila “eagle” (usually aicile or acaile ) [8] or a person’s name. [6] [9] In addition to its literal meaning, Cruach in the pagan name may also be related to Crom Cruach.

The Marquess of Sligo, whose headquarters is located near Westport House, carries the titles Baron Mount Eagle and the Earl of Altamont, both derived from the alternative name ( Cruachan Aigle , high-mount ). For Croagh Patrick [10]

Main article: Reek Sunday

Croagh Patrick has sense been a place of pagan pilgrimage, especially for the summer solstice, since 3000 BC [11] It is now a place of Christian pilgrimage associated co aint Patrick fasted on top forty days in the fifth century AD [12]Thousands of people climb the mountain every Reek Sunday, which is the last Sunday of juli.Klättringen led by the Archbishop of Tuam each year. But the amount of visitors -estimated at 40,000 per year -and resulting erosion has caused concern for the safety of both the Catholic Church and local farmers who undertake safety measures. Pilgrimage was canceled because of safety reasons in 2015. [13]

Summit chapel

From St. Patrick’s own time, there had been some kind of a small chapel on the top, [14] called “Team Phádraig”. an archaeological excavation in 1994 found the remains of a foundation at the top. In the 824 Archbishops of Armagh and Tuam disagree over who had jurisdiction. [15]

A small chapel was built on the top and dedicated July 20, 1905. During the pilgrimage July 31, 2005 a plaque commemorating its centennial presented by Michael Neary, the Archbishop of Tuam.

It was decided [ citation needed ] in 2005 to open the church every day during the summer, rather than just on holidays. Mass celebrated in the church on Reek Sunday and 15 August. It opens through information lines.

Gold detection

A seam of gold were discovered in the rock in the 1980s: overall grades of 14 grams of gold per tonne (0.45 oz gold per ton) for at least 12 quartz veins, which can produce 700,000 tons (770,000 tons) of ore – potentially over 300,000 troy oz of gold (worth over € 360). But because of local opposition from the Mayo environmental group led by Paddy Hopkins, the Mayo County Council decided not to allow mining. [16]

Cong, County Mayo

Cong (Irish: Conga , from Cúnga Fheichín means “Saint Feichin’s narrows”) is a village cross borders County Galway and County Mayo, Ireland. Cong is situated on an island formed by a number of streams that surround it on all sides. Cong located on the isthmus that connects the Loughs Corrib and Mask, near the cities of Headford and Ballinrobe and byarnaClonbur, The Neale and Cross.

Cong is known for its underground streams that connects Lough Corrib Lough Mask to the north. [1] It was also the home of Sir William Wilde, historian and father of prominent playwright, novelist, poet and short story writer Oscar Wilde.

Cong is home to Ashford Castle, a luxury hotel, converted from a Victorian faux Lake Castle, built by the Guinness familjen.Ashford Castle is a tourist attraction in its own right. Cong also has a ruined medieval abbey, Cong Abbey, where Rory O’Connor, the last högkung, spent his last years. [2] It is also the origin of a piece of Celtic art in the form of a metal cross shrine called Cross Cong. The “Cross Cong” now held in the National Museum of Ireland, Dublin. There is a High Cross in the village.

The 1111 Synod Ráth Breasail included Cong (Cunga Feichin) among the five pins that have been approved for Connacht, but in 1152 the Synod of Kells excluded it from their list and assigned to what would be the territory of the Archdiocese of Tuam. [3] [ 4] No longer a residential bishop is Cunga Feichin today indicated by the Catholic Church as an ordinary look. [5]

Cong Canal, built over five years by Benjamin Guinness in the 1850s, was a failure. Although it was only three miles long it could not hold water, buried in the porous limestone. The intention was to go Loughs Corrib and Mask and create a secure transport link from Sligo to Galway, avoiding the need to cross the west coast of Ireland. Now it is commonly known as “Dry Canal”;the water level can vary between zero inches and 12 feet, depending on the time of year (summer, dry winter full). and is three miles in length. Built heritage features of the channel remains. [6] [7]

Cong was recording the location of John Ford’s 1952 Oscar -winning film, The Quiet Man , [8] with John Wayne, Maureen O’Hara and Barry Fitzgerald. A large part of the film was shot because of Ashford Castle. The city and the castle area remains little changed since 1952, and Cong connection with the film to make it a tourist attraction. (The film is still celebrated by local “Quiet Man Fan Club”). [9]

Catholic record for Cong not begin until 1870. The Church of Ireland records from the 18th and 19th centuries have survived and are held at the South Mayo Family Research Centre nearby Ballinrobe.

Ashford Castle

Ashford Castle is a medieval castle that has expanded over the centuries and turned into a five-star luxury hotel near Cong on the Mayo – Galway border on the beach avLough Corrib in Ireland. It is a member of the Leading Hotels of the World organization and was previously owned by the Guinness family.

The early history

A castle was built on the edge of a monastic site in 1228 by the Anglo-Norman House of Burke. [1]

After more than three and a half centuries in Burgos, whose surname became Burke or Bourke, Ashford passed into the hands of a new champion, after a fierce battle between the forces of Burgos and the English official Sir Richard Bingham, Lord President of Connaught when a ceasefire was agreed.In 1589 the castle fell to Bingham, who added a fortified enclave within its range. [ Citation needed ]

Dominick Browne, of Browne Family (Baron Oranmore) got the farm in a Royal Grant either 1670 or 1678. [2] In 1715, the estate of Ashford established by the Browne family and a hunting lodge in the style of a 17th century French chateau was constructed. The double-headed eagles still visible on the roof represents the arms of Browne. [1]

In the late 18th century a branch of the family inhabited the castle. In the early 19th century, a Thomas Elwood was an agent of Brownes at Ashford and registered as living there in 1814. [3]

Victorian conversion

The estate was bought in 1852 by Sir Benjamin Lee Guinness from congested Estates’ Court. [4] He added two large Victorian-style extensions. [1] He also expanded the farm to 26,000 acres (110 km 2 ), built new roads and planted thousands of trees. The castle was designed for Sir William Wilde book on County Galway. [5] On Benjamin’s death in 1868, the estate passed to his son, Lord Ardilaun, which expanded further building in the Gothic Revival style.[4]

Lord Ardilaun was an avid gardener who oversaw the development of the massive woodlands and rebuilt the entire west wing of the palace, designed by architects James Franklin Fuller and George Ashlin. The new design connected the early 18th century in the east part of the two-Burgo-time tower in the west. Pinnacles added to the whole castle. [1]

He also subsidized the operation of several steamboats, the most notable of these was Lady Eglinton, who twisted between the villages of Upper Lough Corrib and Galway City region, opening the area to boost trade. In a time of agitation of the tenants in the Country war in the late 19th century, epitomized by the action of tenants at nearby Lough Mask House (home of Captain Charles Boycott), he is considered by many to be an “improvement” landlord. Some of his efforts failed, especially Cong Canal, also known as “Dry Canal”, which was built to link the Lough Mask and Lough Corrib, but was a failure, because of their inability to hold water. Despite such setbacks, love worn by him and his wife Olive, daughter of the 3rd Earl of Bantry, the castle and the estate was deep and is best symbolized by the fact that when he was knighted in 1880, he derives his title from the island of Ardilaun, which formed part of the estate on Lough Corrib. [ citation needed ]

The castle passed to Ardilaun’s nephew Ernest Guinness. [ Citation needed ] It was gifted to the Irish government in 1939. [4]

Noel Huggard opened the courtyard of a hotel, which became famous for the provision of country pursuits such as fishing and shooting. Noel Huggard parents had been in the hotel business iWaterville, since 1910, and his grand daughters, Louise and Paula, run the Butler Arms Hotel there today. [ Citation needed ]

In 1951, director John Ford came to the West of Ireland to film The Quiet Man, starring John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara. The grounds of the castle, as well as nearby Cong, formed the backdrop for much of the plot of the movie.

In recent years, the castle has been used as a set of “French Court” in The CW’s hit medieval drama Reign . The castle and surrounding grounds a prominent place in the first three seasons of drama, with actors and film workers return year on year to film on the farm. [ Citation needed ]

In 1970 the castle was bought by John Mulcahy, who oversaw its complete restoration and expansion, doubling its size with the addition of a new wing in the early 1970s, to build a golf course and develop the grounds and gardens. In 1985, a group of Irish American investors, which included Chuck Feeney and Tony O’Reilly, bought Ashford. The castle was sold by these investors in 2007 for 50 million € to Galway-based property investor Gerry Barrett and his family. [6] While some of Barrett extensive property loans would be managed by the Irish National Asset Management Agency (NAMA), Ashford was financed by Bank of Scotland (Ireland), [7] which placed the property in bankruptcy in November 2011, [8] but the hotel continued as a going concern, run by Tifco Hotel Group, an Irish hotel management company. [9] in September 2012, it was voted the best resort in Ireland and the third best in Europe avCondé Nast Traveler. [9]

In October 2012, the hotel put up for sale and are valued at about 25 million €, the hotel is half of what Barrett paid in 2007. Currently 83 bedrooms, including six suites. Barrett’s plan to add another 13 penthouse bedrooms and 30 lodges in the castle grounds have not gone through. [9] In May 2013, people were the hotel was bought by Red Carnation Hotels, a group that owns several other boutique hotels, for € 20 million, the new the owner is planning a major refurbishment and the sale is expected to retain about 160 jobs (high season, dropped to 120 during the low season) [10] on the property.According to the receiver, Ashford Castle was profitable even during the period of bankruptcy. [11] Niall Rochford long time manager of the property, has said that the staff accepted a 20% to 30% paycut to ensure the hotel’s survival. [10]

In January 2014 to the new owners acquired the neighboring Lisloughrey Lodge, with plans to add resort. Ashford Castle itself was scheduled to open March 14 after major renovation that began in early January. [12] [13]

Today, most of the guests come from the US (60 percent, 30 percent in Ireland, 10 per cent from elsewhere)., With Californians account for the largest share of [10]

The castle was reopened in April 2015 following a major refurbishment. All 820 windows were replaced, a new management team installed ceiling and its stone targeted. Approximately € 47m was spent on restoring the property. [14]

In its time the castle has hosted many famous guests, including: King George V and his consort Queen Mary, John Lennon, George Harrison, Oscar Wilde (whose father, Sir William Wilde had an estate adjacent to Ashford, where the author spent a lot of his childhood); President Ronald Reagan, Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex, Senator Ted Kennedy, John Wayne, Brad Pitt, Pierce Brosnan, and Prince Rainier III of Monaco and his wife, Princess Grace.

2011 public road controversy

In September 2011, ordered Gerry Barrett of electric gates installed, and then shut down, blocking a centuries-old public right of way over a bridge near the castle. The road used daily by families living on the farm as well as locals.After a letter to the castle management asking for the right of way to re ignored, a group of 150 concerned locals and Ashford residents protesting against the blocking of the right way. The group was joined by local politicians and Éamon Ó CUÍV, TD [15] Barrett had previously tried to block the protest by charging a higher court injunction. [16]

oh yeah i have the MC JL 4 speaker setup and can hear the music clear all the way to 80 feet so 70 feet will be perfect for this setup.

personally i dont like the NVS or wetsounds. yes, they are very loud for the rider but the sound is earpiercing inside the boat and extremely noisy if you are on lakes with homes. you wont be having any happy neighbors

billye, the 4 JL audio setup's I've heard factory from mastercraft are decnt sounding. but they end up getting turned up so loud usually with only factory power that they sound really "tinny" and virtually no mid bass respoonse that is audible over the treble. The wetsounds and NVS definately sound better when they are cranked up IMO. Nto to mention the prison raping you take on the JL setup from mastercraft.

Billy I completely disagree that the NVS are earpiercing in the boat. I had the 808s on my X2 (X1/XStar) for 2 years and the thing I enjoyed about them was the fact they projected sound back towards the rider so you could crank them up and still have a normal conversation in the boat.

The only thing to be careful of was making sure they were turned way down or ATT(enuated) when the rider returned to the boat or someone was standing on the swim platform / sundeck. If cranked they would flat out hurt your ears.

I agree the NVS' are tight but I didn't like they way the looked. I ended up going with the FUSIONS, best of both worlds IMO.

If you are going to stick with the stock Mastercraft cans, get some Polk Momo splits, sound and look great

I have the wetsounds threesome (1 485 and pair of Pro 80s) and they are the loudest clearest speakers I have ever been behind. If I had a 200 foot rope I would be able to hear the music. To address what you are looking for is different. You don't have or want to spend a lot so all of the talk about wetsounds and NVS would be out. You will spend $2500 for a quality amp and the speaker set up. I would keep looking at what is for sale here on this site and e-bay and you might find a killer deal. One of the best deals new are the Pro 80's by wetsounds. They are about $900 and if you find a used amp you can do a killer tower set up for uner $1200. Good luck!

I met Shaun about 5 years ago and was able to get to ride and get some tips from him way back then. I also brought along a few things to have him autograph. I'm in the process of moving and found them neatly tucked away for safe keeping. The mag is an issue of Racer X that he was featured in and well everyone know the game by now...

That's very cool. If I could choose what to sign, my copy of Wakeboarding Unleashed would be among them.

You need to put those in shadowbox frames, Son.

can I play? This is one of the odder things I had signed. It seems appropriate to include my stash of autographed nelson boards as well.

Knowing absolutely nothing about wakeboarding, I once randomly ordered a copy of Detention from Overton's.
That was it. Detention was my point of entry into the world of wakeboarding. Then when I eventually went
to The Boarding School when it first opened up, my old VHS copy of Detention was the only thing I brought
for Shaun to sign.

I'm not at home so I will post the picture later, but Shaun was in New Haven, IN for a clinic. I found out about it late so I didn't have my board with me. All I had was my Washburn acoustic guitar. I think he was as amazed that I wanted him to sign it as I was to have it signed by him. He went into his RV and grabbed his guitar and said the only way he would sign it is if I sat down and jammed out for a bit. An hour later he finally signed it. I will defintely never forget that.
