Cakes, Graduations, More Cakes ....and BABIES!!!

First of all let me start off by saying NO...my title DOES NOT mean I am pregnant again!!! NO WAY ....NO HOW!!! =)

SO, in order of events that have happened since my last post,my brother & sister-n-law, Joel and Erica, is having another baby, I have made a baby shower cake for a lady that ordered for her daughters baby shower, I have made a graduation cake for 2 kids that graduated this year, Logan has racked up some trophies at graduation, and I'm a new AUNTIE!!!!!!!

The first cake of this month was for a baby boy shower. The babies name was Xavier Zureal Flowers.

The second cake was for Julian Estrada, that graduated from Hesperia High School. The school colors are black and gold and the "mascot"(I guess) is a scorpion. The top of his cake had a scorpion on it.

The third and fourth cake was for Keith Zammora, John and Maureen's son. He graduated from LCA. I did a HUGE sheet cake and then I also did a Monster Energy Drink cake.

After all of that, we went to graduation on Friday night and my big boy, Logan made me so proud!!
He walked away with an A Honor Roll Certificate, trophy for math, trophy for spelling, trophy for phonics and a trophy for highest GPA. I was one PROUD mommy!!!

Saturday we woke up early and drove to Fresno to see David, Stephanie....and BABY RORY MACLAINE!!!!! I'm an AUNTIE!!! I am soooo proud of that baby!!! I didn't get to hold him this time because he is in NICU right now, but I can't WAIT to get my hands on him and kiss those WONDERFULLY fat cheeks!!! He is a DOLLY baby!!!
Stephanie was IMPRESSIVE!! That little guy weighed 10 lbs and 6 oz and was 21 1/2 inches long. He is HUGE!!
David is an AWESOME proud Daddy!

We got up early this morning, Sunday, and headed back home. We pulled into town at 1:20 and went straight to church for Family Day. We played several games of Volleyball and had a blast...but now I'm exhausted!!!

I'm going to sleep!!!

Last night Vortex session was BLAST!!

Thursdays are usually quite crap for me, but last night was the best ever. So many turned up through out the night it was spiffing. Organising with Gemini to let me have a vendor there in future. He's finally moved it to an island and hopefully this will make things speedy there as long as people dont wear dodgey scripts.

Also been talking about the possible treasure hunt party, might even have a LIVE band playing... just gotta check with the Neighbours to make sure they wont mind the noise and lag.

Sunday, July 23, 2006

Well the neighbours must have read the Clubhouse message board as they have totally changed their island, its more tropical and compliments the surrounding islands. The water ways are still abit narrow, but its all looking good now :) - they have even rented off a bit for a group of tinnies which is cool cos its real fun seeing them zipping about on sped rafts :)
So the chi has been restored to my islands, and i should reall thank them at sum point for doing a good job :)

Battlefield Secondlife

I've not had much time to be in Secondlife this last month, but with all that i read on the forums and hear from Gemini it's probably for the best. Terrible updates, roll backs and exploiting griefers have meant that SL has not been the best of metaverses. Its a shame that SL has become bugged to metahell so soon after the third birthday, and the discomfort of many residents about the new non verification sign ups has not helped when the SL client starts springing up fatal Bugs.

My Brother is having a spate of bad luck with the vortex too, with Streams going down, and nuke attacks on the club. I've come across some who feel he has Banned them unjustly. Perhaps i should give him a talk before he makes to many enemies in the community we've been trying to help.

On the Shop front im doing better than last month rolling over a spiffing profit. The wrist bands sold really well so ive made a new batch, and due to demand, they will be modifiable. Along side these i will be releaseing a new Steam punk range of products, seperate fromt he Loki Boys brand. This is due to my side interest in steam punk themes. I can often be seen dressed up like oliver with a steam powered backpack exploring the horizons and visiting Caloden. I miss the good ol days of just exploring. I probably visit just 4 places whenever i go on SL, there are THOUSANDS of other places to explore...

Anyway i better start making the track list for tommorows DJ session at the Vortex, Hopefullt the stream will be up and peple will come cos last thursday sucked :-p

All the new things

Sales were up last month, although the change of the land at Tanguna West Indies has ment that the shop there is now the least visited putting into question if i should have a shop there at all. Tis their own fault thinking they are the ones who draw the customers. Fact is its the shops and those who run the shops. I advertised the west indies as my main shop. As they remodelled i was forced to link everyone to the clubhouse shop, which has now become the main store leaving west indies in the shitter.

It was Secondlifes 3rd birthday last month too. At the birthday island i saw a kool Secondlife Kids stand showing pics of mostly gemini :-p I have been asked to be an officor of the main Kids group of SL which i am honored... yet to know what it means to be an officor though.

Geminis Club is still going, he always seems worried about sumfin, but he'll get through it, he has enough friends to support him through anything.

The big tall Spaniard- that's Moises. His eyes don't normally bug out that much. The one with all the hair- that's Latana. She's not keen on having her picture taken. The other one- that's Meredith. She's more than okay with having her picture taken. She's holding a cilantro/corriander plant that subsequently died. Her miniature lemon tree is quite happy though, so alls well that ends well. A question you might have is "where's Patrick?" and I would say "Wow, good job remembering my fourth flat mate!" and then would explain that sadly I have yet to take a picture of him as my camera tends to come out during dinner parties and he hasn't come to one yet.

A rather simple yet critical point that I should have addressed earlier to help with packing for your overseas move:  PACKING MATERIALS.  I know, derr…

…yet it is something to consider well in advance, especially as you make the decision whether the moving company will be packing for you or not.  If they are, you will still want to request that they send you packing materials prior to the actual moving date, as you’ll want to still pack certain things on your own—valuables, delicate items, sentimental items, what have you.  This will also offer some peace of mind that everything will be packed in a timely manner.

If you’re packing entirely on your own, as I did, quite simply make sure that you procure the materials yourself well in advance.  Perhaps your moving company will allow you to purchase the goods entirely through them.  Otherwise, you can find packing materials at stores like Mail Boxes Etc., UPS, or U-Haul.  You may even be able to score cardboard boxes from friends and family who may save such things (if you know anyone moving domestically before you move internationally, ask them in advance if they’d consider saving their stuff!), or outside stores where they dispose of their shipment boxes in/near their recycling bins.  While reused boxes will obviously feature a little wear and tear, quality-enough ones can be resilient enough to trust.

That being said, for an international relocation, your belongings will be traveling quite a ways by truck and boat, so you do want to be sure they’re secure.  After three months separated from our own cargo, most of our boxes were a little worse for the wear.  Conditions were evidently a little damp either in their holding container on the U.S. East Coast or the ship, so cardboard quality and corners were a bit dodgy on arrival.

Wardrobe boxes are terribly handy—you can basically transfer everything on a hanger from the bar in your closet to the bar in the box, allowing your clothes to hang.  Word to the wise, though:  you’ll obviously want to cover your clothing in plastic first (garbage bags can suffice as garment bags just fine).

Other supplies to consider:  packing tape and padding—e.g., bubble wrap, packing paper, foam.  Ooh, and don’t forget those plastic tape dispensers that you can refill with additional rolls; they just make it all so much easier.

London Relocation Ltd. wishes you a productive preparation for your London move—now get crackin’ on that packin’!

craft lake city was way fun! i loved walking around and seeing all the other artists there. i even got an "artist" badge to wear, i felt very fancy. i bought a vintage pillowcase dress from one vendor for my little girl (even though i know how to make them, this print was too cute) and a lil button from isabell's umbrella. love her stuff.

i definitely want to do it again next year, but only if i'm far away from the music like i was this time. i actually requested to be placed far away from the music, if possible, because i had such a horrible experience with the music at the hope festival. when i walked around chatting with vendors, so many of them complained about how loud the music was and even customers were complaining. i'm totally all for music being a component of an event but for pete's sake TURN IT DOWN A NOTCH. yes, i sound like an old lady.

it was fun meeting the customers, too. definitely a different crowd from the farmer's market, but i'm looking forward to getting back to the farmer's market routine this saturday.

all in all, a success!

College Green House

COLLEGE GREEN HOUSE, located at the corner of Botanic Avenue and College Green, Belfast, was designed in 1870 by James McKinnon for the merchant, Archibald McCollum.

The former coach-house to the rear of the house is now the well-established restaurant and bistro, Molly's Yard.

It is not clear whether McCollum ever lived here, but by 1880 the house had become a Church of Ireland Collegiate School (traces of the school name can still be seen over one of the corner windows).

In 1890, the house was occupied as a private residence once more, by John MacCormac, physician to the Belfast Institution for Nervous Diseases, Paralysis and Epilepsy.

College Green elevation

One year later it was acquired by John McConnell, managing director of Messrs Dunville & Co, whiskey distillers, who lived there until his death in 1928.

McConnell was a JP and a Freemason, and a friend of James Craig, first prime minister of Northern Ireland (whose father owned Dunville's).

He had a car that was kept in the former coach house, and employed a chauffeur to drive it.

His five children were brought up at College Green House, and most of them developed liberal views that must have shocked their establishment father.

Botanic Avenue elevation
Notable amongst them was his youngest daughter Mabel, who became a suffragette and a committee member of the Gaelic League.

For a while after she graduated from Queen's University she was a secretary to George Bernard Shaw and to George Moore, but then she met and eloped with Desmond FitzGerald, a young English poet of Irish extraction.

Although he continued his literary interests, being an acquaintance of Ezra Pound and T S Eliot, FitzGerald became heavily involved with the Irish Volunteers in Kerry in 1913.

It is recorded that Mabel and Desmond spent Christmas 1913 at College Green House, before having tea with James Connolly after a republican meeting.

The couple also met with Roger Casement on this Belfast visit before going back to Kerry, where Desmond organised and drilled volunteers.

He went on to fight in the Easter Rising of 1916 and to become a Minister in the Irish Free State government that ensued.

Union Theological College

College Green House must therefore have hosted gatherings of very different political persuasions over the years, particularly as the first Northern Ireland Parliament met in the Union Theological College, which the house overlooks.

It is not unlikely that McConnell would have been visited by his old friend James Craig at the end of the day for tea or billiards.

Mabel's fourth son, Garret, must have absorbed some of this political atmosphere as he went on to become a Taoiseach [Irish Prime Minister] aware of his Belfast roots as well as his Dublin ones.

On McConnell's death, the house passed to new owners who, unfortunately, subdivided the house very crudely into flats in 1934.

The early occupants of the flats included spinsters, academics and at least one man of the cloth.

In the 1950s, they acquired an artistic neighbour, a civil servant called Alfred Armentières Kitchener Arnold, who hosted many of the local artists of his day from visiting actors and dancers to artists like George McCann and Dan O'Neill, and writers like Louis MacNeice.

Arnold was a keen amateur actor himself, and when he later retired to the island of Gozo near Malta he is reputed to have translated The Pirates of Penzance into Gozitan.

Rumours abound of other flamboyant visitors like the architect Henry Lynch Robinson and Erroll Flynn the film star.

The playwright Stewart Parker lived in one of the flats briefly about 1970.

Latterly the house was entirely occupied by young artists, among them Susan Philipsz who organised an exhibition in 1998 called Rev Todd's Full House, which assembled the work of some fifty artists who had lived or stayed in the house up to that time.

The building was used as a location in the film Divorcing Jack during that period.

Unfortunately the flats did not meet current fire regulations and the house was closed shortly after that.

Hearth negotiated a long lease on the property in 2000, and then sought finance to restore the building to its former glory.

College Green House was unlisted because of the extent of its alterations, but it was listed in 2002 which made an application to the Heritage Lottery Fund possible.

During the interim, Hearth put in caretakers drawn from the pool of artists interested in the building and provided studio space for artists such as Rita Duffy and Martin Wedge.

Work started as soon as planning permission was granted in 2004.

In addition to upgrading the services to the building the main work involved was the reinstatement of the elevation to College Green which had been disfigured in the conversion to flats, with steel picture windows replacing the original round headed windows and stone dormers.

Restoration involved considerable repairs to brickwork and stonework as the 1930s windows were in different positions from the originals and many chimneys lacked their stone cappings.

Metal finials and the cresting at the top of the roof were reinstated, along with the unusual barley-sugar railings, pillars and gates.

The 1930s entrance to the flats from College Green was retained, but the old front door in Botanic Avenue which had become a window has been reinstated as a doorway.

A three-storey bay added at the rear of the house was removed to restore the cubical design of the building, and that permitted restoration of the arch linking it to the former coach house.

Internally, plasterwork was restored using moulds taken from no.2 College Green which had been part of the same development.

The staircase dado was restored using painted and grained Lincrusta, while the flat entrance doors were grained.

Following extensive structural repairs to the outbuildings they have now opened as Molly's Yard.

The house of the former whiskey magnate is now linked to one of the few sources of real ale in Belfast.

And as for its Headless Dog brew?

If you look carefully at the base of the coach-house, you will see the silhouette of a headless dog, a symbol of the group of artists who were here in the 1990s: history tends to be circular, but the history of this house is more spherical than most.

This is fascinating, Tim. Townhouses can be of as much interest as those in the county. Very good indeed.

Have often passed this house and wondered about it for I've always thought it was a lovely townhouse, like so many in that area. What a fascinating history it has, so much of a story to it. Will look on it with fresh eyes now on passing!

I lived in the top flat of that house from 2006-2010, never knew the real history behind it. Thanks for the eye opener.

What an absolutely fascinating article Lord Belmont. Very impressed too with food and ambience at Molly's Yard on my one visit there - TS

Very enjoyable article - interested to see more like this in the future.

Lord B, have you considered an article on Clifton House? Although sadly blighted by the Westway, it is a remarkable building, surely one of Belfast's 'hidden gems'. And well preserved. VC

Timothy Belmont said...

VC, these are just the sort of suggestions I like.

I'm open to good suggestions.

Many thanks!

A very fine building, well restored. Hearth has shown again and again what housing associations can achieve. What a shame its wider setting and so many buildings in the surrounding area have been blighted with fine family houses converted into ersatz student accommodation and university facilities. Surely, if the will existed, it is still possible to stop the rot. Introducing residents only parking and planners being prepared to take on the landlord interest would be good first steps. The University also needs to take on responsibility for accommodating its ever increasing numbers of students rather than leaving them to fend for themselves in the surrounding area. There seems to be plenty of money to spend on the (fantastic} new library and other buildings so let it put up well designed and purpose built student accommodation too.

Because linking here is the right thing to do

What $200 billion buys us.

by Norman Rosten
In Guernica the dead children
Were laid out in order upon the sidewalk,
In their white starched dresses,
In their pitiful white dresses.
On their foreheads and breasts
Are the little holes where death came in
As thunder, while they were playing
Their important summer games.
Do not weep for them, madre.
They are gone forever, the little ones,
Straight to heaven to the saints,
and God will fill the bullet-holes with candy.

  Look What I Got

I never thought I'd manage to actually win a Nano and write 50K words in a month, but this year the conditions were perfect.

Tomorrow I'll start a new job. Wish me luck that it's going to be nice and interesting.

  Nano is Going Really Well

Hallo dear readers,

I only want to inform you that the National Novel Writing Month is going really well for me this year, even better than 2012 when I also participated. So here's just an autumn pic to tide you over.

Mecklenbruch Bog / Solling in autumn

I also apologise for my lazy commenting these days. Things will get better in December. :-)

  Paderborn - The Town of Charlemagne and Bishop Meinwerk

This is only a brief introduction to the history and the historical buildings of Paderborn. There's much to see, and most of the churches and other buildings presented in this post deserve their own posts in the future. But for now, come with me on a short trip through a town rich in history and architecture. Sorry the weather wasn't playing more nicely; sunny photos would have been more pretty.

Overwiew of the old centre: The west tower of the cathedral, Ikenberg Chapel (left), Chapel of St. Bartholomew (left, the one with the green roof)
and the Ottonian palace (right), with the Pader springs in the foreground

Paderborn was founded by Charlemagne in 776, during the first years of his long war to conquer the - then pagan - Saxons. He built a palatine seat and a church, both surrounded by a wall since those Saxons were not exactly a peace loving lot at the time. He also held several diets in Paderborn. The town and the bishop's see that was established in 806 would play an important role for centuries to come. The bishops were elevated to princes of the realm in 1217. My regular readers will have come across the bishops of Paderborn a few times already (fe. in the recent post about Castle Plesse and the Counts of Winzenburg). Paderborn is an archespiscopal see until today.

The Ottonian palace hall with the foundations of the Carolingian palatine seat in the foreground

Paderborn was an important palatine seat for the Ottonian kings as well. It was especially bishop Meinwerk (we came across him in the post about the Krukenburg) who held the see of Paderborn from 1009-1036 and who initiated the construction of most of the architectural landmarks of the town until today: the palatine seat, the cathedral, Abdinghof monstery and the chapter church of Busdorf. It was during Meinwerk's time (1011) that Paderborn became independent of the see of Mainz and began to establish its own role in the feudal network.

Interior of the - partly reconstructed - Ottonian palas, the great hall

The remains of the main hall of the Ottonian palatine seat and the attached Ikenberg Chapel are still substantial. Both have been reconstruced in 1978; you can clearly see the different stones that show the layers of original Ottonian and new masonry in the photo above. The foundations of the Carolingian palatine buildings, situated between the cathedral and the Ottonian hall, can be seen in the foreground; they have been excavated and preserved a few years ago.

The Museum in the Palatine Seat

The palas building of the Ottonian seat today houses a very interesting museum in the lower floor; the upper floor, the reconstruced great hall, is used for events. The pillar foundations in the lower floor are partly still Ottonian masonry and it's a nice idea to use them to support exhibits today. It gives you a good impression of the layout of the building in the past. We spent some time in the museum because the exhibits (things that have been excavated in the area of the palatine seats) are interesting and well presented.

Chapel of St.Bartholomew, interior

The Chapel of St.Bartholomew is a charming little building that dates back to the time of Bishop Meinwerk almost unaltered. It shows a three naved hall structure (though because of the small size, the naves do not stand out like in larger churches) and is the oldest building with a cross grain vaulted ceiling north of the Alpes. Romanesque churches mostly were in the basilica style (main nave higher than side naves) but crypts usually have the hall structure with three naves of equal heigth. The Chapel of St.Bartholomew may have been the model for these.

The cathedral of Paderborn, the Romanesque crypt

The history of the cathedral goes back all the way to Charlemagne, but the first building did not survive; and the one from Meinwerk's time has been altered considerably. The present church is mainly Gothic, except for the west tower, the crypt and the so-called Paradise Gate, but the interior has unfortunately been 'improved' with several huge Baroque altars and grave ornaments for dead bishops. The exterior is mostly scaffolded in right now. But the crypt, dating to 1120, is a beautiful, quiet place untouched by Baroque frills.

Abdinghof Church, the westwork

The so-called Abdinghof Monastery is another foundation of Bishop Meinwerk. It would become one of the richest and most influential monasteries in Germany during the high Middle Ages. The church, dedicated to St.Peter and Paul, has been changed from Meinwerk's building much less than the cathedral. It is still pure Romanesque and some alterations have been eliminated during the repairs after the damage of WW2, like the present, and original, flat timber ceiling in the main nave replacing the 12th century vaulted one. The main difference between the present look and the one in Meinwerk's time is the lack of murals, but those rarely survive.

Abdinghof church, interior with view to the imperial lodge

The chapter church today knows as Busdorf Church (photo below) is the last of Meinwerk's buildings I want to show you. Meinwerk wanted to build it according to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem and sent the abbot of Helmarshausen there to get the plans. Unfortunately, that first building from 1036 does not survive except for the west transept. But since the church was closed and I could only get some photos through a fence, I can't show you that one. The major parts of the church to the late 13th century (Gothic style), but the cloister is Romanesque.

Busdorf Church, the cloister

The bishops of Paderborn kept getting into trouble with the burghers of the town and so they moved their main residence a few miles out of Paderborn in 1370. Palace Neuhaus has been built in several steps; the present building is the final result, dating to the late 16th century. It's a very symmetrical four winged palace with towers in each corner, surrounded by a water filled moat. It is situated in a large and beautiful garden. The shrubs and flowers close to the palace are kept in Baroque fashion, but the rest of the garden is English in style.

The Renaissance palace Neuhaus outside Paderborn

I'm not very active on the blog and those of my friends (lazy commenter, I know) during November, because I again participate in the National Novel Writing Month, and this time my progress so far has been very satisfying. Let's hope I can keep catching words. *grin*
