What Are the Seven Major Landforms?
While park rangers, scenic cliffs and lunar-like landscapes are a common sight in the American Southwest, they are equally at home in Ireland some 5,000 miles away. Surrounded by the North Atlantic, the Emerald Isle is very different from the arid desert of the American Southwest. Just 32,600 square miles in size, Ireland is smaller than Arizona, yet visitors exploring its geographic and geological sites will discover that landform similarities exist between the two.
Volcanic Geology
The Giant's Causeway on the North Antrim Coast is not only a designated UNESCO World Heritage, but also is one of Ireland's earliest tourist destinations, having been officially documented in 1693. The Causeway consists of approximately 40,000 interlocking hexagonal basalt columns that extend from the coastal cliffs into the seas, and are the result of volcanic eruptions during earth's Tertiary period 50 to 60 million years ago. The Giant's Organ is a series of stone columns 39 feet tall on the cliffs, while the nose-shaped Aird's Snout lies between the Organ and the Causeway. Begin your tour at the Giant's Causeway Visitor Center, an ecofriendly earth-covered building, before hiking the trails.
Western Plateau
The geographic region known as the Burren stretches for 44 miles in County Clare on the west side of the island. Formed some 340 million years ago as the floor of the sea, the Burren is a limestone plateau with striking pavements created by uplift and erosion. In the 1640s, this region was described by a land surveyor as "a savage land, yielding neither water enough to drown a man, nor tree to hang him … ." Despite that bleak assessment, the Burren bursts into color during the summer, as seasonal plants flower. Mediterranean and alpine plants grow close to turloughs – shallow lakes – and in cracks in the limestone pavements.
Scenic Cliffs
The stunning black shale and sandstone Cliffs of Moher rise some 650 feet on a 4-mile stretch of the Atlantic Coast on Ireland's west side. As the home of a large seabird colony, the Cliffs of Moher are a designated Special Protection Area for Birds and a Refuge for Fauna. At the base of the cliffs, the park protects open Atlantic waters. On the other extreme, maritime grasslands and heaths are protected on the high ground. Exhibits and interactive audiovisual programs at the Cliffs of Moher Visitors' Centre offer information on the themes of nature, ocean, man and rock, while park rangers lead interpretive tours. Two hundred miles to the north, the cliffs of Slieve – or Sliabh – League are the tallest cliffs in Europe, rising almost 2,000 feet above sea level. There are no visitor facilities here, and only experienced hikers should attempt treks beyond the viewpoint.
Benbulben, known as Table Mountain, in County Sligo is a limestone and shale mesa formed during the Ice Age. At a height of 1,725 feet, this is habitat for arctic-alpine plants, wild hares and foxes. You can hike around Table Mountain's base, but climbing is not recommended. Six peaks in the Mourne Mountains of Northern Ireland are over 2,300 feet tall, with Donard Peak measuring 2,785 feet. Corrán Tuathail – or Carrauntoohill – in the McGillycuddy's Reeks range is Ireland's tallest mountain at 3,414 feet. Challenging ascents are offered year-round by guides, but some walking trails are rated for beginners. Killarney National Park is about 25 miles east.

Hate Preachers
Not a single Imam preaches religious fascism and racial hatred. Extremism has not been created by the fanatical clerics. Muslim clerics never played any role for the radicalization of Muslim youths. There is no culture of hate, spite and distrust in the Masajid or in Muslim schools. The so- called hate preachers are just religious scholars to satisfy the social, spiritual and emotional needs and demands of the British Muslims in their own languages. The Western media and politicians have an assumption that Islam threatens its liberal sensibilities and it is right to have a go at Islam. It is now open season for attacks on Muslims by politicians, media, institutions and individuals of different faiths or no faith.
The writer Oriana Fallies recently asserted that there is no difference between Muslim extremist and Islam. She still had no trouble winning an audience with the Pope Benedict.
David Cameron, the rising Tory star, campared Islamic extremist to the Nazis threat in the 1930s. Nazism is a European invention, practiced by so-called civilized Europeans. Nazi ideology is exclusively based on the supremacy of one race, while Islam is the exact opposite, all races being equal. Bush and Blair have repeatedly pointed to their cultures' compassionate values, and condemned the barbarity of Muslim militants. The speech by the Pope, which aroused a world wide storm, went well with Bush's Crusade. The head of OFSTED said that the rise of Muslim schools is a threat to Britain's sense of national identity and fail to teach tolerance. America's religious Right regards Islam is an evil ideology that inspires young angry Muslim males in western society. Tony Blair considers veil as a mark of separation and he fully supported the LEA who suspended and sacked the poor teacher. Masajid, Imams, Muslim schools with bilingual Muslim teachers, veil, Halal foods and Arabic and Urdu languages are not a mark of separation but marks of identity. Universities and colleges across Britain are to spy on Muslim students for their suspected involvement in Islamic extremism and supporting terrorist violence. Racist incidents in London schools have increased 26% since the 7/7 bombing and the debate about the wearing of the veil has prompted further incidents. An EU report said that Europe's Muslims face broad discrimination. Islamophobia included" discriminatatory and aggressive treatment by police", a factor cited in youth unrest. A German teacher described the defeat of Ottoman forces at the edge of Vienna, as something to be celebrated, otherwise, boys would have been circumcised and the girls would have to cover from head to toe. The real hate preachers are Western politicians, teachers and media and not Muslim clerics and Muslim teachers.
The long-term solution to terrorism lies not in Guantanamo Bay or British prisons, but in education – education about other religions, tolerance, free speeches, the history and the respect for human life. It is not the Muslim schools or Muslim majority state schools; it is those schools where native Brits are in majority, needs serious attention in terms of anxiety, bullying of Muslim pupils and threats to Muslim teachers. The role of schools to be highlighted in challenging Islamophobia, schools need to ensure that all children must learn about Islam. Muslim majority state schools should be designated as Muslim community schools with bilingual Muslim teachers as role models. Those are the real issues tackling extremism and alienation of the Muslim youths.

Message I fear that Muslims have really big hurdles to clear if they are ever to become an accepted norm in British society.
1) British families (in nearly all cases) have husbands and wives who go out to work. I cannot see a future in a British society forever divided between "poor Muslims" and the rest.
2) If Muslim women don't go out to work (and particularily if they have bigger families), then it's difficult to see how their children will ever be accepted. Poor British children suffer quite a lot of fairly serious discrimination - poor Muslim children are bound to suffer worse.
3) While most Jews (other than a few "religious" ones) have more or less become "regular Brits", look at what they gave up. They abandoned different clothing and different weekends and different languages. They've nearly abandoned different religious holidays and different food and separate schooling. Are there Muslims prepared to do the same - how will they seen by the more traditional?
4) Even if it's to become "normal" to be Muslim (to the extent it's normal to be Jewish or Christian Catholic), it will happen only very gradually. Physical differences needn't be a significant bar in the UK, but they will tend to exacerbate other barriers.
Finally, I have a question - how would I (with my wife) set about visiting different mosques? There seems to be a problem, I've asked this of Muslims several times now. On the Internet I'm told I can "just go along", but whenever I ask someone face to face I've not had an answer.
Andy - who, believe it or not, lived in a Muslim society for over 1 year and regularily preaches tolerance.

Message Iftikhar,
You are yet another Muslim who wants to put responsibility for the atrocities, committed in Allah's name, in the hands of infidels. You speak of 'islamaphobia' and blame the West but Islam must be held accountable for the stereotypes it has created. There would be no fear of Muslims if they weren't murdering people all over the world in the name of their religion. You speak of 'role models'. Take a look at the Islamic role models of today.
As of now, Muslim role models are murderers: Osama, the 19 hijackers of 9/11, those responsible for England's 7/7, every suicide bomber in Iraq or Palestine.
Muslims are reponsible for bringing healthy role models to the forefront. Until Islam as a whole can remove the violence done in its name, Muslims cannot place blame elsewhere.
Author Muhammad Yasir Nasim
Message AoA.
Preaching of Islam never started with compulsion. Always, it was carried out by inspiration. A good character has the ability to inspire.
Muslims of today are already divided amongst themselves and have no common grounds for unanimity. At one hand, we have different schools of thought, who are continuously in conflict within themselves, at the other hand, we have a society who have western norms in their lives as signs of status.
Actually the west has portrayed Islam in a negative manner, but do we really have any positive image to project in respect to nullify that negative image ? Surprisingly, we have many here, but no one is followed by every one, and not even by a considerable majority.
I think that if the muslims in the western countries understand and practice Islam well in their lives, then we can demonstrate that Islam never fortifies any discriminatory element in itself and is totally a religion of peace. These muslims must realize that Allah (SWT) Has placed them in the forefront to fight the negative image of Islam in the western mind. But for that, they should be like a muslim who can inspire others of their own true values.
Education about Islam for all in Britain is too much than what their governments can afford; I mean that Islamic morals are in contrast with western morals and Islamic history cherishes Najashi and Crusades etc. So what remains behind is Islamic Fiqah......but it alone is a troubling thing to be educated like that in a christian pre-dominant state. I think that Muslim communities must organize themselves and try to educate first the distant Muslims over there, the true morals of Islam so that they may exhibit and carry the true image of Islam for the inspiration of others. For time being, they can publish counter articles(not mere retaliation but defining the truth about Islam)in order to nullify the negative image and should portray the true image of Islam. But for all this, they require an amiable comprehension of Islam by themselves. The other important thing is that we must develop in competencies and skills, which shall not directly change the negative Image of Islam but shall make them care about Muslims as a solid economy in comparison. Both targets are hard to achieve and require persistence and patience. Yet it requires a true deliberation from our side to understand Islam by ourselves in order to make it to be understood.
Nonetheless, what we must have acknowledged by now is the importance of unanimity and a sense that Islam is for every person. Each one is allowed and is responsible to develop a rationality of Islam in his/her mind, and because of that, I am quite optimistic that every one will conclude to the same morals and values, and will be quite equipped to face the threats to Islam, there and then.

The blog, HERE, that I found these screengrabs from, states something I didn't know::
In 1972 a somewhat insensitive city council voted to remove the pier and replace it with a concrete island and 29-story hotel. Local citizen activists were a bit upset, and formed Save Santa Monica Bay to oppose the tear-down of this widely used--and free--public gathering place.
He says that the filming of The Sting there in the spring of 1973 and subsequent publicity helped galvanize the community to save the pier and to get an initiative for the Santa Monica city ballot which passed and the council reversed their decision. In 2009 the pier celebrated it's 100th anniversary and the carousel and the building that houses it is still open!

As a kid I boarded a lot of those PE cars to LA from this very spot, and spent many hot summer afternoons watching the Southern Pacific Van Nuys Local switch the yard from cool shade of the station freight platform. As a teenager I purchased quite a few car parts from Huffakers and North Hollywood Carburetor & Ignition across the street.
This was the last day of Pacific Electric rail service in the San Fernando Valley.
Details from the Electric Railway Historical Association site:
The last regular car left Subway Terminal at 1:20 AM Sunday, December 28, 1952—car 5138. The last car ever was the 5146, that ran as the Pacific Electric-Chamber of Commerce Special inbound, leaving Van Nuys at 11:30 AM Monday, December 29, 1952. The line went dead officially at 3:00 PM that same afternoon when power was cut off. The 17 5100s used on the Valley run were placed in dead storage at West Hollywood immediately. All trackage was pulled up except for two blocks of the inbound track on Highland avenue from Santa Monica Boulevard to Lexington, kept for freight use, and the SP trackage in the vicinity of North Hollywood. The "dream" right-of-way through Cahuenga Pass was paved over in 1957 to add two additional lanes to the Hollywood Freeway.

I have to admit,I prefer the days before CGI. It's so disappointing that CGI effects are being over-used in movies.
Today, if a production calls for a 1,000 person crowd scene, the CGI effects team will say,
"Why stop at 1,000, when we can make it a 100,000 person crowd scene!"
It's just bloated over-kill without any of the charm......like watching a 90 minute video game.
I see a day when a movie might advertise...
No CGI effects used! Real Explosions! Real Crowd Scenes! Real Sets! Real Models!
Now that's something I would go and see. :)

An especially large intersection.
I'll try this one: we're looking south on Vermont Ave. at Florence Ave. This intersection was a junction point for LARy's U and F lines (actually the southern terminus of the U line). The F line's rails curve toward the camera and will continue to Hoover St. on private right-of-way before turning north.
Looking southward (again), the F line will continue to 116th St. Its rails once were part of the L.A. & Redondo Ry. until the Great Merger of 1911.
Robert Brown Young in Pico-Union
Hey Tetsu and Beaudry, I just noticed that "Landmarks of Los Angeles" McGrew & Julian (1994) has a little more info on the peregrinations of Robert Brown Young's Green (1875 W 11th St, 1890) and Forget (1047 S Bonnie Brae, 1890) residences.
Although they identify these homes as being in Westlake rather than Pico-Union, they say both were moved in 1909 from S Olive because of DTLA "business expansion". The corner house isn't mentioned or how three homes ended up on two lots.

Byron Barr was a nice-looking guy. I could turn up nothing more on him except that he died up in Sacramento.
Curiously enough, Byron Barr was also the real first and last name of Gig Young. I had no idea there was another actor who used that name professionally, and explains why GY didn't want to or wasn't able to use his own name. I'd always wondered about that, considering that Byron Barr seems like an ideal stage name, not only having a certain kind of manly punch so perfect for the postwar era, but also looking good in the preliminary star credits to boot.

Richard Green appears to have owned property along Bonnie Brae Street, living at #811; he had five sons, including William J, Burton E--famous developer of Beverly Hills--Alfred, Calvin and Luther. Richard was living at 811 S Bonnie Brae in the '90s and would be living there until his death at 97 in 1934; Calvin would die at 811 in 1950. Luther married Edith Neustadt, daughter of Effie Neustadt (who lived in the early '00s at 823 S Bonnie Brae), in 1904; the newlyweds moved into a house Effie built for them on Wilshire Boulevard (see http://wilshireboulevardhouses.blogs...e-see-our.html). Edith Green died in 1908. The Neustadts and Greens were both real estate investors, the Greens acquiring the NW corner of Bonnie Brae and 11th St at some point. Alphonsus Forget's house had been built at 1003 S Olive ca. 1890--how it came into the mix is unclear-- I thought maybe he was related by marriage to the Greens, but I didn't look too far into that. At any rate, William Green was living at 1851 W 11th by 1911 in the other moved R B Young house; the house on the corner (given a build date of 1895 by the assessor), came to be occupied by Luther after the death of Effie. And in a nice noir cherry on top, Luther was murdered at 1053 S Bonnie Brae in 1927, apparently for his basement stash of booze:

:previous: Thanks. That was fascinating, but there is no 1035 S Bonnie Brae these days. It jumps from 1031 to 1037. I'm left confused as to which was the murder house.
It's a typo. It's 1053.

A little on Dr. Alphonsus J. Forget's house still standing at 1047 S Bonnie Brae... Dr. Forget appears to have bought it in the mid-'90s from Casper Behrendt, whose brother-in-law was Kaspare Cohn, benefactor of the precursor of Cedars-Sinai.
When the Behrendt-Forget house was on Olive Street, there was a reward out for a missing lorgnette per a classified item in the Times December 13, 1894... and later, there wa "A NAUGHTY GIRL" in residence...

:previous: Thanks again. That actually answered a question I've had for a long time. There's a 1922 apartment building now on the site of the Dave's residence, but with the original stables on the alley. I wondered what the backstory was on that.

I wish like anything I could have seen the 800 block of S Bonnie Brae intact. If the 1894 Wright-Mooers house at 818 and No. 824 (1893) are anything to go by, it must have been spectacular:

I don't know how much longer they will work but for now we are spared the horrendous new version.
Even though they have already removed some of what made Classic better (My Maps were removed months ago, and I have noticed that some former 45-degree views are now 45-degree with a 3D model underlayment), it's still better than the new version.

After posting the colorized El Monte Simons shot above a few days ago (here), I found a colorized version of the Simons at Wilshire & Fairfax... which we must have seen here before (no luck with a search)...
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-k...76/simons2.jpg
And here's a colorized McDonnell's (probably also seen here in b&w, but unfindable)... below it is an LAPL shot of what appears to be same location cited in the accompanying info--Beverly & La Brea--or is it? A tile-roof building is at left in both shots, wires criss-cross similarly, and there are tall signs at right in both...but the later one, based on the cars, has a curious misspelling....can anyone spot it?

Some sources say this shot was taken on Wilshire Boulevard, but the streetlamps aren't Specials...maybe west of Fairfax?

Brief: An innovative drama/sermon on the story of Christmas.
Jesus: white robe with a toga/sash of Gods same material.
Angel: white rope, gold rope belt.
Satan: white robe with black rope belt. An older more 'weathered ' actor to the rest.
If you were to tell someone the Christmas story of Jesus, how would you start? You could begin with a young lady named Mary or perhaps you could start it off with a few verses from the Old Testament predicting Jesus' birth. Today we're going back even further than that.
To grasp the deep significance of Christmas we need to go back to the beginning of the story. So when was the beginning? Jesus' birth wasn't the beginning. Mary discovering she was pregnant wasn't the beginning. The beginning wasn't even in the Old Testament predictions. The beginning was even before all that.
It was in the beginning Jesus rolled out the heavens and laid the foundation of the earth. He hung the worlds in space and delicately crafted each little flower. In the beginning heaven and nature sang and reflected God's love like a giant, perfect mirror.
But not all of heaven. In Isaiah and Ezekiel we read that Lucifer, the brightest and mightiest angel, wanted more. He wanted to be the most important being in heaven. He wanted to be greater than God. And so he began suggesting that God was demanding worship and loyalty. Satan painted him as a self-centred dictator. And he deceived some angels.
With the same suggestions, he also deceived humans. He tricked them into seeing a God of justice and awesome majesty as cruel and unforgiving. By misrepresenting God's character Satan pulled humans into his rebellion and so the long, dark night of earth's history began.
The only way to lighten the shadows was to show that Satan's description of God was wrong. Not by force or by demand. It had to be by love. God is love. The way to lead humans back to God was to show humans was God was really like. There was only one who could do that: Jesus. And so the plan, which was in place before Adam and Eve sinned, came into effect.
Jesus would come to earth and become a human.
God: Well, this is it. An eternity has been all to short with you son.
Jesus: I hope I can go through with it, father.
God: I know you so well, I am sure. I'll be with you always.
God: Just try not to show off.
God: And make sure you wash your hands before each meal.
Jesus: [Repulsed at earth's germs] Absolutely!
God: See you soon, son!
Angel: I can't believe he's gone! Nine months until we see him again you say!!!!
God: Yes. And it will feel like an eternity.
Angel: [thinks] You've never been separated before, have you?
God: [cuts in] Absolutely! They're my children.
Angel: Well, I can't see the point, but I have to hand it to you – your love certainly has no limits!
Angel: Oh yes. Can you come and have a look through the song list for this Sabbath's service. I need one more song to fit in with your topic this…. week…. Oh. Are we still having a Sabbath service, without Jesus?
I wonder, would a heavenly Sabbath be the same without the Lord of the Sabbath there? Perhaps it helps to think of it this way: if triplets were celebrating their birthday would you still sing Happy Birthday if one of them wasn't at the party? Probably, but it wouldn't be the same.
Imagine what a Sabbath in heaven could possibly be like.
A heavenly worship service; everything is about God's goodness and perfection and limitless love. Think of the music. Each of those beings singing, each with the voice of an angel. All worshipping God the Father and God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. What an incredible experience: the perfection and splendour and atmosphere with Jesus and his Father at the centre of it all. And this is the amazing part: He could have stayed there.
He could have stayed in heaven with his Father being honoured and worshipped as the King of the Universe. He could have but he didn't because that wasn't the plan.
The plan was for Jesus to clearly reveal God's character; for every person on earth and every being in the universe to be absolutely crystal clear about who God is and what He is like. That He is loving and He is fair. Jesus was going to show that God's law could be kept because with God all things are possible.
But to do that he had to leave His Father and become a human.
And so even before the Earthly Phase of the plan began, we catch a glimpse of God's character in Jesus. Jesus had equal status with God. But he didn't think so much of himself that he had to cling to the advantages of that status no matter what.
Instead he chose to step down from the throne of the universe to bring light and life to a dark world. He chose to set aside the privileges of being God and become a human. He entered into our world to show God is love and God is fair. That was the plan. He couldn't use force or pressure. There would be no PR campaign or promotion. Just the truth.
Angel: Ok, God, I noticed no orders were in place for Jesus arrival. I'm sure you have everything under control but I took some initiative.
· And purchased a palace for them to move into.
· and I've booked the town square for a coronation service.
God: It's ok, we won't be needing any of that.
Angel: Oh! Have you booked all this already? Under a pseudonym? Good thinking!
Angel: Will you be delivering your own hospital? Excuse the pun. Good idea, earth is so dirty!!
God: No. He will be born in a stable.
Angel: [Pause....] Hahahahahah, good one, a stable... What, are you serious? No, really. [Pause] You are serious, aren't you.
Angel: Seriously God, my bookings are done. Ready to go. It's no hassle.
God: No no, a stable is fine. You could book a little townhouse in Egypt for them though.
For the Son of God it was a very modest arrival to an unassuming family. In reality Jesus could have been born into any family. He could have arrived in the penthouse of Bethlehem's rich and famous. He could have been born into greatness and prestige and honour. He could have and he deserved it but he didn't. That wasn't the plan.
The plan was to show God's love and fairness. Greatness and prestige and honour were nothing to Jesus. Instead He chose the lowest and most humble arrival. That was the path for the rest of his earthly life. No one would follow him for his looks or his friends or his money. It was his love and his truth that was attractive. He lived a humble, simple life so that no one could find any reason to think Jesus didn't understand them. Even the poorest person in the most difficult situation could relate to Him. It was, and still is, His truth that captures the heart and mind.
Jesus gave up honour and glory to become a human. He showed that His character, God's character, is just the opposite of Satan's. But Jesus went even further. The plan wasn't just to become a human. The plan was to become a sacrifice to save humans. It was a bold, risky plan. And Satan knew it. If He could get Jesus to fall for his temptations and disobey God's law just once, the world would forever be his and he would win the Greatest Battle the universe had ever known.
Angel: [Enters slowly, bows] Yes, Lord God Almighty, You called.
God: Could you please bring a vase of flowers?
Angel: Certainly, right away. [Turns then turns back] May I ask something, please?
Angel: There's one thing I don't understand. How does Jesus being born on earth actually save any humans?
God: Go take another read through their scriptures. You'll figure it out.
God: [Gruffly, without turning to 'notice' he's entered] What are you doing here?
Satan: [Smug] I've just come to thank you. I'm REALLY looking forward to hosting your son's little visit to my home. I know I've slipped up in the past, but I PROMISE I'll be good from now on.
God: He will save my children from your clutches, Satan. Now get out.
Satan: [Angry evil.] I've converted perfect beings to my side before and I'll do it again.
And if I can't, I'll make him suffer, until he calls for his daddy to save him.... [turns and starts to exit] This time you lose.
Angel: [Slightly depressed] Here's the flowers you asked for.
Angel: But you already have [turns] a vase of…. flowers??
They're... going to kill him... aren't they.
Angel: No! There has to be another way!
Angel: Look, let me go! Not Jesus, [crying pause] not Jesus!
God: It is going to hurt, yes, but my son is strong. This has to be done.
There was no other way. God's authority was in question. Satan had convinced humans that God wasn't loving or fair. They believed him and had separated themselves from God. To show how deep the Father's love was, Jesus came. To show how fair his law was Jesus obeyed.
If Jesus failed, the Father would forever be separated from His Son. His authority as God of the universe would forever be in question. If Jesus didn't go ahead with the plan humanity would never have any chance of being back with God. We would forever be separated. God didn't want that.
Jesus was the only hope. He was the plan and if he failed, it was all over. There was no backup.
And so it's no wonder that in the book of Hebrews we read that Jesus was tempted in every way possible. Satan threw everything he possibly could at him! But Jesus was given strength from God to stay committed and stick with the plan.
He would reveal God's perfect character in his life. He would save people from their sins through his death. He would shine light into a dark world as he rose from the dead. He would bring peace on earth and good news to all people.
That's why there was heavenly excitement the evening Jesus was born. This was a crucial part of a big plan to restore everything back to how it was in the beginning.
God: [excited] Gabriel! He's coming!
Angel: There he is!! Wow, so tiny. This is surreal!
Angel: [calmly] He's crying. [freaked out] HE'S CRYING!, RIGHT, I'm taking 12 legions, IT'S OK JESUS, WE'RE COMING!!
God: Way-way-way-way-way-wait. He's ok……. He's ok.
It's so good to see him again!
Angel: I still can't believe you let him be born in a stable. It's hardly a grand and worthy arrival of our Lord. I would have had lots of trumpets, choirs, a big rainbow, started with a small cloud and gotten bigger and bigger, plenty of thunder, and move the mountains with a massive earthquake.... A Stable. Seriously?
Angel: [Shocked] A SECOND going!?!?
God: [smiling] Yes, a second going. You can make a spectacular entry for Him then. For now, why don't you take a bunch of friends and all go down and sing. Announce their saviour has been born!
Angel: Oh yeah!! ... but, who to, King Herod, perhaps?
God: No. How about... those shepherds?
Angel: Alright! [races out – talks to angels off stage] Hey fellas, we're going to go down and sing! Jesus has been born!

San Michele dei Mucchietti (San Michêl nel locale dialetto), è una frazione del comune di Sassuolo, in provincia di Modena, di circa 1.614 abitanti, distante 6,53 chilometri dal capoluogo comunale in direzione Sud-Sud Ovest e situato a Est del fiume Secchia.

Toponomastica
Definita dallo studioso Franco Violi località "in luogo eminente (...) su di una via battuta da millenni", prende il nome dalla Ecclesia S. Michaelis, con le prime attestazioni dell'agiotoponimo "San Michele" che risalirebbero al secolo XIII. Tale toponimo deriverebbe, secondo l'interpretazione di alcuni passi del Saccani, dal culto del santo importato dai Longobardi, nella persona della pia donna Berta di Fogliano, figlia di Vilfredo Conte di Piacenza e vedova del Conte Suppone che, "disingannata del mondo si era data a vita religiosa (…), fu la fondatrice della nostra chiesa".

Il Violi, invece, fa risalire la devozione a San Michele nel modenese prima dell'invasione longobarda, pur riconoscendone il merito nell'accentuazione della diffusione su larga scala.

"Mucchietti", invece, deriverebbe "senza alcun dubbio da Mucletum e soprattutto dalla forma genitiva alterata Mocletuli", con l'attuale toponimo che, "impropriamente sonorizzato al genitivo plurale, è una evidente forzatura sia in chiave semantica che morfologica".

Storia

Preistoria e Storia antica

Il popolamento preistorico nell'area protocollinare di San Michele rispecchia le vicende storiche delle cittadine circostanti di Castellarano e Sassuolo, partendo dell'età del bronzo con le terramare e successivamente con l'occupazione dei Liguri Friniati e dei Galli Boi. Le terramare rappresentarono la prima civiltà dell'area padana, civiltà nata da una vera e propria colonizzazione con epicentro l'area compresa tra le provincie di Parma e di Modena, che nel 1400 a.C. raggiunse dimensioni epocali. Nella pianura emiliana occidentale la densità demografica provocata da questa colonizzazione sarà raggiunta soltanto durante fasi inoltrate dell'Impero Romano (a testimonio della presenza romana vi sono diversi reperti, prevalentemente in laterizio, tuttora esistenti e conservate in situ presso alcune borgate). La cultura terramaricola è di chiara impronta transalpina, estensione diretta della cultura dei tumuli della Germania meridionale. Strettamente imparentate ad essa sono le civiltà palafitticole sorte intorno ai laghi alpini, come quella intorno al Lago di Garda.

Medioevo

In assoluto la primissima fonte scritta dell'insediamento è altomedievale e risale al 10 Giugno 888, dove in un documento privato tale Donna Berta, figlia di Vilfredo Conte di Piacenza, diede in enfiteusi a tre fratelli di Villa Mocletulo (Domenico, Ariverto e Restàno del fu Auperto) alcune terre, con un canone annuo di "due denari, due polli e due uova".

Con il Diploma di Ottone II (980) viene confermato ai canonici di Parma il così riportato "Castellum de Foliano quod nuncupatur Mucletum cum corte" (ratifica raccertata anche da Ottone III nel 996), innalzato appunto nella corte di Villa di Mocleto (o Mocletolo).

Passata in seguito alla Chiesa di Reggio, come testimonia una Bolla dell'Antipapa Guiberto del 1092, fu politicamente soggetta ai Conti di Castellarano, e con detto Castello passò nel 1187 sotto al Comune di Reggio. Mocleto, a partire dal secolo XIII conosciuta come Villa di San Michele di Castellarano o San Michele di Mocleto (il culto del Santo eponimo venne probabilmente importato dai dominatori Longobardi), visse nei secoli a venire turbolenze politiche e vari passaggi di giurisdizione amministrativa.

A inizio 1316 fu teatro di scontri tra fazioni cremonesi (supportate da alleati guelfi bolognesi) contro le truppe capitanate da Francesco Menabuoi da Ferrara, con queste ultime a prevalere e raccontato dal frate agostiniano e storico emiliano Cherubino Ghirardacci, nel suo "Della Historia Di Bologna, Volume 1", edita una prima volta nel 1596.

Nel 1320 fu occupata dai modenesi, per poi essere donata da Rinaldo detto "Passerino" Bonacolsi Signore di Modena ad Azzone Rodeglia, inviso agli abitanti che lo assassinarono nel 1327. Seguì un nuovo passaggio al Comune di Reggio per essere poi ripresa in possesso dai Rodeglia (salvo un periodo di dieci anni a partire dal 1361 dovuto all'acquisizione dei diritti di detta famiglia da parte del futuro Signore di Novellara Feltrino Gonzaga) fino al 1419 quando il marchese Niccolò III d'Este ne prese controllo, per lasciarla governare, tredici anni a seguire, a Lorenzo Strozzi, col titolo di Conte di Castellarano e Campogalliano.

Età moderna

Morto Strozzi, San Michele fu data in investitura ai Marchesi di San Martino d'Este dal Duca Ercole I nel 1501. Proprio nel corso del XVI secolo la località venne a conoscersi come San Michele di Muchieto od "in Muchieto".

Già dal 1738 San Michele risultava attraversata da una carrozzabile detta Via Ducale, che secondo lo studioso Maurizio Pellegrini "non può essere considerata disgiuntamente dagli itinerari della Via Vandelli vera e propria, in quanto si inserisce nel medesimo ambito progettuale: il collegamento di Modena con Massa". Questa strada (che ricalcava in parte il percorso dell'antica Via Bibulca) congiungeva Sassuolo con San Pellegrino in Alpe via San Michele, Castellarano, Roteglia, Saltino, Montefiorino e Frassinoro ispirò appunto la carreggiata ducale fatta progettare a Domenico Vandelli da Francesco III d'Este per congiungere la capitale con le nuove terre massesi e carraresi, inglobate de facto nel Ducato a seguito del matrimonio del figlio Ercole con Maria Teresa Cybo-Malaspina. Un secondo collegamento con detta strada, detto "Terza Via", aveva inizio all'altezza di Vallurbana e seguiva il percorso delle odierne Via Vandelli (da non confondere con la storica) e Strada Casa Buccelli, passando per Casalpennato e congiungendosi alla principale poco prima di Varana.

Cresciuta, secondo Lodovico Ricci, sin al raggiungimento di 1905 biolche di estensione nel 1788, San Michele fece parte fino a nove anni più tardi della vicereggenza di Castellarano; durante la rivoluzione francese ebbe parte alla Repubblica Cispadana prima e Cisalpina poi, nel Canton di Sassuolo. Il Tiraboschi ci riporta che "con legge del 1 settembre 1798 San Michele veniva tolta dal Dipartimento del Panaro per essere unita in quello del Crostolo".
Solo a seguito della distrettuazione del 29 dicembre 1815 venne unita definitivamente a Sassuolo per evitare la soluzione di continuità con il vecchio capoluogo di afferenza dovuta al fiume Secchia. Il retaggio storico di affiliazione al vecchio comune e all'area reggiana si nota ancor oggi nell'appartenenza della parrocchia locale alla diocesi di Reggio Emilia-Guastalla, pur facendo parte della provincia di Modena.

Età contemporanea

L'età contemporanea vede, come primo grande evento per San Michele a partire dalla Restaurazione, il passaggio dal decaduto Ducato austro-estense all'Italia unita, sulla scia di brevi esperienze come parte delle Province Unite del Centro Italia (1859-1860) e del regno savoiardo (1860-1861).

Come tanti altri centri di piccole dimensioni dell'Emilia San Michele fu coinvolta nella Grande Guerra non tanto in qualità di luogo di scontri quanto come paese d'origine di ventotto caduti, che vengono ricordati da una lapide posta sulla Chiesa parrocchiale, da una più moderna targa commemorativa posta in Piazza Ruini e da un parco monumentale con ventotto cipressi in memoria di ognuno degli "eroi che San Michele offrì alla Patria", locato all'interno della scuola primaria del paese.

Durante la Seconda Guerra mondiale e la Guerra civile ebbero luogo molti scontri nella zona, insieme ad episodi di violenza da parte dei soldati tedeschi e partigiani (tra gli altri, l'omicidio nel 1946 dell'avvocato reggiano Ferdinando Ferioli, figlio di Aristide, l'ultimo sindaco liberale di Sassuolo prima del fascismo, raccontato da Giampaolo Pansa).

Durante il miracolo economico del distretto sassolese legato al mondo della ceramica (a partire dagli anni '50) San Michele vide progressivamente abbandonare la sua forte vocazione agricola e mezzadrile, vedendo ampliata la propria componente urbana e residenziale (numerosi i nuclei familiari originari del capoluogo comunale trasferitisi nel paese), eludendo però totalmente il massiccio intervento industriale che ha caratterizzato parte dei panorami dei limitrofi centri del Distretto.

Nell'anno 2004, è stata presa in considerazione dal comune sassolese l'idea di ribattezzare la piazza principale del paese, intitolata a Don Gaetano Ruini, recentemente ristrutturata e decorata con due vasche floreali, Piazza di Mocleto.

Geografia e clima

Sito di produzione casearia e vinicola, oltreché ricca di fossili del periodo Zancleano, San Michele dei Mucchietti, ubicata ai piedi delle colline e in prossimità del fiume Secchia e dei calanchi, confina a nord con il capoluogo comunale Sassuolo, a Sud con Pigneto, frazione di Prignano sulla Secchia e, al di là del fiume, con Castellarano, con cui comunica con una traversa fluviale (intitolata al martire Rolando Rivi, seminarista quattordicenne trucidato dai partigiani) accessibile a pedoni e ciclisti che da alcuni anni godono di due piste ciclabili che connettono la sponda reggiana con quella modenese. Una avveniristica passerella sospesa sul fiume permette la chiusura dell'anello ciclo-pedonale di circa 12 chilometri, all'altezza di Veggia/Sassuolo Via Indipendenza.

L'abitato è per la quasi totalità inserito nella Riserva della biosfera UNESCO MAB per l'Appennino Tosco-Emiliano.

Borgate

Le borgate di San Michele includono Ca' di Péffer, Ca' Marèin, Ca' d'i Lvàs, Ca' di Busée, Verdoagla, l'Ardinèl, la Moassa, al Bsol, al Basèin e l'Era di Gambòun.

Clima

 Classificazione climatica: zona E, 2447 GG.

Il clima di San Michele, subcontinentale, è in larga parte simile a quello del capoluogo comunale di Sassuolo, ma per la sua posizione collinare presenta estati lievemente più fresche grazie alle brezze serali.

Indice demografico

Architetture religiose e civili
In quanto storicamente piccolo centro agricolo di passaggio sulla strada ducale che connetteva Sassuolo alla prima montagna modenese, peraltro con scarsi investimenti, non si è riscontrata particolare dinamicità architettonica a livello civile fino agli anni sessanta, quando l'edilizia privata iniziò un ampio sviluppo.

Vi sono, tuttavia, alcuni elementi di rilevanza storica per il paese

 LArco di Vicolo Rocca, fedelmente ricostruito su iniziativa popolare negli anni novanta del XX secolo.
 L'Era di Gambòun attorno a cui si sviluppa l'antico nucleo con edifici in sasso e mattone a vista.
 La Chiesa di San Michele Arcangelo, principale centro di culto del paese, originariamente edificata nel secolo IX, e soggetta a dipendenza dalla parrocchiale di Castellarano fin circa agli inizio del '500, prima di essere eretta a parrocchia autonoma. La struttura per come la vediamo oggi è stata realizzata nella prima metà del XX secolo, quando il parroco don Annibale Giovanardi fece aggiungere la navata sinistra (1921) mentre il successore don Emanuele Rabitti fece abbattere la sagrestia, spostare il campanile dal lato della facciata principale all'attuale ubicazione (1938) e aggiungere la navata destra. Più volte restaurata nel corso degli ultimi tre secoli, si presenta allo stato attuale a seguito dell'ultimo rilevante intervento del 1997. All'interno della vecchia Parrocchiale era presente un antico organo a partire dal 1757, rimosso (presumibilmente perché troppo vecchio e guasto, nonostante le "accomodature" del 1812 e 1896), sotto parroco Rabitti durante i lavori del 1938. Sono tuttora presenti due opere in tela: il quadro sopra l'altare ritraente un vittorioso San Michele che sconfigge il demonio (rappresentato in sembianze umanoidi, fatto inusuale per l'epoca, e ambientato in un paesaggio ritraente la Valle del Secchia), opera datata 1844 dell'artista sassolese Antonio Valentini. Un altro quadro, di autore sconosciuto, ritrae la "Beata Vergine del Carmine con Sant'Agnese, Sant'Antonio da Padova e San Sebastiano", descritto come già "vecchio" durante la fase di restauro del 1876 da don Pensieri. Nella parete laterale su Via San Michele è stata installata una lapide a ricordo dei caduti del paese durante la Grande Guerra. La Chiesa presenta, allo stato attuale, una pianta a croce latina e aula a tre navate. Il sagrato è cinto da balaustra e si presenta lievemente rialzato rispetto al ciglio della strada, mentre il fronte, con due lesene laterali a sostegno di una liscia trabeazione, è impreziosito da un ampio rosone circolare. Un soffitto a volta con botti e tuscaniche lesene (con alta trabeazione) caratterizzano l'interno della parrocchiale.
 Il Santuario della Beata Vergine detta di Riobellizzo (o Riobellizzio), ultimato nell'ottobre 1748 e pesantemente ristrutturato esternamente nel 1938 e, internamente, nel 1985. Questo oratorio sussidiario, ad aula unica con abside semicircolare, si affaccia tra via del Poggiolo e via San Michele in muratura di laterizio faccia a vista, con facciata a capanna e campanile a vela sporgente a sovrastare l'ingresso, cui si presenta in asse una finestra allungata con arco a tutto sesto. A coronamento della muratura è presente un cornicione con dentelli a "coda di rondine".
 La Palazzina del Belvedere (Al Belvedeir), nota anche come Villa Cuoghi o Casino del Belvedere Ducale, sita a San Michele in zona Vallurbana, si erge su un colle che conserva ancora l'originaria sistemazione a giardino formale all'italiana, in mezzo a un boschetto. L'edificio originale, struttura simmetrica di due piani, con retrostante padiglione centrale e adorna di grandi lesene, fu eretto nel 1781 per espresso volere di Ercole III, duca di Modena e Reggio Emilia dal 1780 al 1796, in qualità di residenza di villeggiatura, all'interno dell'area di caccia ducale. Esso era collegato al Palazzo Ducale di Sassuolo tramite un viale ornato da pioppi e cipressini lungo circa cinque chilometri, intersecandosi poi con la strada ducale detta Via Vandelli che univa il Ducato alle terre toscane. All'interno della struttura, oggetto di sequestro durante l'occupazione napoleonica e oggi proprietà privata e solo occasionalmente aperta al pubblico, sono visibili dodici tempere di pregio raffiguranti le residenze estensi nel loro aspetto di fine '700 (autori Giovanni Battista Menabue e Ludovico Bosellini).

Idioma locale
Il dialetto sanmichelese è una variante di origine neo-latina afferente alla lingua emiliana, formata dal latino volgare che si è innestato sull'idioma parlato dai precedenti abitanti, i Galli Boi, nel momento dell'occupazione dell'Emilia da parte dei Romani. I galli, o celti, hanno lasciato un retaggio riscontrabile ancora in parole di uso comune, come ad esempio "scràna" ('sedia'). È simile ai dialetti delle aree limitrofe e generalmente attinente al triangolo Castellarano-Scandiano-Rubiera. Viene generalmente assimilato al dialetto modenese di città ma presenta significative variazioni fonetico-lessicali, come la mancanza dei fonemi [z] e [z̪] (resi rispettivamente come [s] e [s̪], es.: modenese furzèina (forchetta) con il locale fursèina, o il modenese z̪ò (giù) con il locale s̪ò), l'allungamento delle vocali toniche di influenza frignanese (seppur non così lunghe) e la fortissima enfasi posta sui dittonghi -ou, -oa, -ei all'interno della parola.

"Ou" rappresenta il dittongo più diffuso. Esso è comunemente usato alla fine della parola nei suffissi -oun, -our, -ous. Il suffisso -oun in parole come boun (bene/buono), strioun (stregone), marangoun (falegname), sdroun (cetriolo), pissoun (piccione), soun (suono), cansoun (canzone), castroun (cicatrice), leoun (leone), sacloun (trasandato), bzuntoun (sprocaccione), mnestroun (minestrone), musgoun (morso), tacoun (appiccicoso), scurtoun (scorciatoia). Il suffisso "ous" in parole come blisgous (scivoloso), nous (noce), ingiurious (ingiurioso), crous (croce), susptous (sospettoso), balous (castagna), invidious (invidioso). Il suffisso "our" in parole come amour (amore), fiour (fiore), biastmadour (bestemmiatore), alvadour (lievito), dulour (dolore), dutour (dottore), ferdour (raffreddore), rasour (rasoio).

Il dittongo "ou" compare frequentemente anche all'interno delle parole, come in poundegh (topo), soul (sole), louv (lupo), curouna (corona), bouregh (borgo), mount (monte), erbouni (prezzemolo), intouren (intorno), tourel (tuorlo), ourel (orlo), anvoud (nipote), tourta (torta), tramount (tramonto), lusgoun (lacrima), count (conto/conte), frount (fronte).

Il dittongo "oa" compare in parole comuni come stoass (colpo), roasch (pattume), floass (diarrea), picoall (gambo), loasla (lucciola), stoapid (stupido), doaca (duca), roasna (ruggine), moacia (mucchio), scoafia.

Il dittongo "ei" (la pronuncia della "e" è aperta) è frequentemente usato alla fine della frase con il suffisso -ein come in uslein (uccellino), usmarein (rosmarino), rampein (gancio), fein (fieno), vein (vino), srein (sereno), cusein (cuscino), cichein (piccolino), bein (bene), casein (disordine). Ma compare spesso anche all'interno della parola, come in meis (meso), peis (peso), speisa (spesa), areint/ateis (vicino), leint (lento), cricleint/musneint (sporco), furseina (forchetta), scheina (schiena), neiva (neve), reid (rete), feid (fede), peil (pelo), aveir (avere), vleir (volere).

Data la tradizione quasi esclusivamente orale del dialetto sanmichelese non si ha una lessicografia comunemente riconosciuta, come peraltro per larga parte dei dialetti emiliani.

Tradizioni e folclore

Con cadenza annuale ed ininterrottamente dal 1855, il 15 di Agosto si tiene una processione scalza in onore della Beata Vergine, dove si trasporta una statua della Madonna per le strade di San Michele. Tale cerimonia si deve a un voto fatto dalla popolazione sanmichelese in cambio della fine del colera che colpì dal 1854 la zona.

La sagra del paese, attestata ufficialmente una prima volta nel 1761 ma sicuramente di molto antecedente, avviene, di norma, la terza settimana di settembre, richiamando gente dai paesi limitrofi.

Vengono annualmente organizzate la Festa dell'Agricoltura e la Festa del camionista modenese e reggiano (insieme ad altre saltuarie iniziative) nell'area di pertinenza del Circolo degli Alpini di San Michele.

Al paese è intitolato un romanzo della scrittrice Pia Giannuzzi.

Istruzione
Sono presenti una scuola dell'infanzia (intitolata a Italo Calvino) e una scuola primaria (Don Carlo Gnocchi).

Infrastrutture e trasporti
Il paese è lambito dalla SP19, che attraversandolo lo collega sia al capoluogo comunale sia all'area del Pescale, per arrivare fino al centro di Prignano. Una strada secondaria collinare, che ricalca il percorso della "Terza Via" ducale, porta al secondo confine stradale con detto comune nella zona nota come "Ca' Rotte".

È possibile accedere alla provincia reggiana tramite una passerella ciclo-pedonale realizzata sulla diga del Secchia all'altezza di Castellarano.

A fianco dell'alveo del Secchia si trova il Percorso Natura, inaugurato nel 2003 e anch'esso ciclo-pedonale, che ha origine presso la Rupe del Pescale e termina a Modena, per poi congiungersi con la ciclabile della Secchia che porta fino alle sponde del Po nel Basso Mantovano.

Attività e strutture sportive
La frazione è rappresentata, per quanto riguarda le discipline di calcio e pallavolo, rispettivamente dalla PCS San Michelese, militante in Promozione ma con un recente (e continuativo) passato in Eccellenza e dalla Volley San Michelese femminile che disputa il campionato di Serie C, già al vertice regionale nel 2016 con la vittoria della Coppa Emilia-Romagna, le quali svolgono le loro attività nel centro sportivo "G. Zanti", costituito da campo a 11 sintetico di ultima generazione (rifatto nell'estate 2016, il primo in Emilia-Romagna), un campo in sintetico a 7, 2 palestre per calcetto e pallavolo, un campo da padel e 6 spogliatoi. Il campo principale, delle misure di 60x98,50m, è dotato di tribuna coperta con capienza 300 spettatori.

È possibile praticare il tennis e altre discipline presso il circolo "Sporting Club", che nel recente passato ha ospitato eventi di rilevanza internazionale.

La frazione è stata più volte tappa del Giro d'Italia Ciclocross.

In the '20s and '30s of the last century, a wave of industrialization led to rapid growth in the urban population of South Africa. The African population moved from the country to the city in the hope of better financial prospects, e.g. in the mining industry. As a result, within a very short time a large part of the population was proletarianized and ghettoized. In spite of the fact that official apartheid began only in 1948 with the takeover by the National Party, strong segregation in urban areas was already in place in the South African Union since the Natives Land Act of 1913 (the law which divided the country into "black" and "white" territories). In the growing townships, therefore, an urban working-class culture quickly developed. This stood in a complex relationship to traditional rural cultures as well as to the bourgeois-elitist culture of the black middle class and to the white hegemonic culture.
At the center of this working-class culture were the Shebeens (Irish for illegal pubs). The alcohol trade was banned within the Union for the African population and was therefore only to be encountered at the edge of the cities, in the townships. The Shebeens were mostly operated by women, so-called Shebeen- or Skokiaan-Queens (named after a popular, strong brew of beer). These women continued a brewing tradition, widespread in the countryside, and tried to escape the sexually segregated working system with the sale of alcohol. The Shebeens were characterized by long, often all-weekend parties, as well as by crime, alcohol consumption and music.
'American' gang – Sophiatown 1954, Bob Gosani. Schadeberg, Jürgen: Sof'town Blues. Images from the Black '50s. Pinegowrie 1994, p. 38.
This music was Marabi, a concept attributed to a certain music genre, but also standing for an entire era of South African urban culture, which came to a tragic end with the first evictions from inner city black areas. The music style Marabi was characterized by a repeating, ostinato accompaniment, usually in the harmonic pattern I–IV–I64–V, upon which potentially endlessly melodies were improvised. These melodies often consisted of sections of popular pieces of any provenance (folk music, religious music, US jazz, dance music such as Vastrap, etc.) which, like the underlying pattern, could also be repeated at will. Marabi was mostly played on electric organs or pianos, with a percussive accompaniment of cans filled with stones. Unfortunately, no sound samples of early, "pure" Marabi have been preserved (although the genre was always very flexible), since Marabi was never recorded on 78s during its heyday. This is partly because it was an outlaw underground music, but also because recordings were not yet common. The style inspired, however, various genres such as jazz (later Mbaqanga), Jive, Pata pata, and Kwela and is therefore still to be heard in a slightly altered form on recordings of the '40s.
Marabi was played in the Shebeens for hours without end, which was intrinsic to its circular form and improvisational nature. The Marabi parties were organized by the Shebeen-Queens to bring in particularly good income from the sale of alcohol on weekends. They quickly became meeting places for the new urban proletariat, venues for trade and exchange, and meeting points for criminal gangs and prostitutes. The music had a crucial role in attracting the audience, and the organizers deliberately hired the most talented musicians and ensembles to beat the competition.
Dancing at a township party – Johannesburg 1952, Jürgen Schadeberg. Schadeberg, Jürgen: Sof'town Blues. Images from the Black '50s. Pinegowrie 1994, p. 29.
Within Marabi can be found many of the tensions of South African urban society: A musical style that inherited the circularity of traditional music (which is also found in US jazz and therefore could be seen as a sign of transatlantic African cultural unity), played on Western instruments (organ, piano, clarinets, trumpets, etc.), with improvised melodies and rhythms reflecting the entire spectrum of South African cultures (traditional melodies or melodies from jazz songs, rhythms of dances of the Afrikaans-speaking white or mixed population, etc.), in an urban, proletarian and colonially-suppressed setting, marked by illegality and shadow economies as well as by class identities, hope, and the search for new social circles in an unknown place and last but not least a zest for life and fun.

During the Middle Ages there were many professions, some of them were honorable others were not. In Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, there are profiles of some the professions that were present during the Middle Ages. Among the professions there were a few that seemed unappealing. Personally, I do not like the professions that accept bribes; in this case the Friar represented characteristics of that profession. Other professions provoke suffering of another human being. For example, the Summoner's job was to bring people accused of violating Church law to court.
This profession would not appeal to me since I do not find it rewarding to bring people to court that essentially might be punished and possibly for the wrong reasons. After reading about the professions and profiles of each character in Canterbury's Tales, the Knight's profession had the most honor and appeal. Therefore, the occupation I have chosen is the Knight. Of all the portraits and tales, the Knight gets to be the first one to be mentioned. The narrator speaks very favorably in regard to the Knight. He represents the epitome of a medieval Christian soldier.
During the Middle Ages, knights were part of an order and brotherhood that was very wealthy, well-connected and lived above the law. Knights were on the receiving end of being showered with wealth and land possessions by medieval aristocracy. Also, if you were a knight then you would be very well trained to fight and therefore would be able to protect yourself whenever you needed to. To me, all these benefits seem favorable and appealing. Of course, there is also a numerous amount of positive praise within the Canterbury Tales. There are many examples and quotes that represent a knight's greatness.
He has participated in many of the great crusades of his era," And foughten for oure feith at tramyssene In lystes thries, and ay slayn his foo. " (Chaucer, Canterbury Tales Lines 63-64). More importantly, when it comes to traits and personal character, the Knight is described to be a worthy man that is chivalrous, honest and honorable, "A knyght ther was, and that a worthy man, That fro the tyme that he first bigan To riden out, he loved chivalrie, Trouthe and honour, fredom and curteisie" (Chaucer, Canterbury Tales Lines 43-46).
In addition to all the complients describing the Knight he was also very wise, "And though that he were worthy, he was wys" (Chaucer, Canterbury Tales Line 68). The Knight was also a character the people of the Middles Ages mostly thought of as truly good and the picture of perfection, "He was a verray, parfit gentil knight" (Chaucer Canterbury Tales Line 72). Overall, the narrator makes suggestions that the Knight is brave, experienced, pious, perfect, and greatly admires him. Throughout the entire prologue, only positive things were said about the knight.
I would like to participate in a profession where I was admired and respected by society as a whole. To be seen as the epitome of perfection would be delightful. Most people would agree with me on the matter since picking this profession has so many advantages. Being a knight would grant me land and power that some of the other professions during the Middle Ages could not have dreamt of. Also, in that period of time, there were often raids and pillages, knights have the power to protect themselves as well the people that he cares about.
I think the ability to do this is essential because I have family and friends that I care about dearly. For example, if I was a knight and my sister was with me and we were both about to be kidnapped, I would possess the power to protect both of us from harm because I am a highly-skilled fighter. Therefore to know that the people closest to me will be safe is favorable feature since it will give me peace of mind. Another major reason I chose being a knight as a profession is based simply on the fact that all knights have to be males. Back in the day, females had little to no rights.
It would also be pleassant to be a male and possess power that females did not have. Even women of status and power did have the right to choose for themselves. A woman's fate is often predetermined by gods of the King whom is a male figure. In the Canterbury Tales, the female characters are often over shadowed by the male character. There are several examples in the Knight's Tale that help me illustrate my point. The Knight's Tale is a tale about two knights, Arcite and Palamon, who are captured in battle and imprisoned in Athens under the order of King Theseus.
While imprisoned in a tower, both see Emelye, the sister of Queen Hippolyta, and fall instantly in love with her. They fight over Emelye, but their fight is stopped when Theseus finds them. Theseus sets the rules for a duel between the two knights for Emelye's affection. In actuality, Emelye does not even want the men to fight and wants both of them to live. She prays to Diana asking to marry neither of the men so they can both live. She leaves it to the gods to decide and cannot decide herself. Emelye tends to take herself out of the equation and only thinks about the greater good of other people.
Even though her attempt is selfless, her portrayal of the typical female character makes all the females seem weak. Therefore, this is extremely unappealing to me. I would much rather be independent like the knights back then and be able to earn my own destiny. In the last part of the Knight's tale, King Theseus announces the fate of Emelye, "'Suster,' quod he, 'this is my fulle assent, With al th'avys heere of my parlement That gentil Palamon, youre owene knyght, That serveth yow with wille, herte, and myght, And ever hath doon syn ye first hym knewe, That ye shul of youre grace upon hym rewe, And taken hym for housbonde and for lord.
Lat se now of youre wommanly pitee. He is a kynges brother sone, pardee; And though he were a povre bacheler, Syn he hath served yow so many a yeer, And had for yow so greet adversitee, , It moste been considered, leeveth me, For gentil mercy oghte to passen right. ' Palamon and Emelye marry" (Chaucer, The Canterbury Tales Lines 3075-3089). In this excerpt, it is understood that Emelye cannot make her own decisions and the King decides for her.
The king also refers to Palamon as a rightful brother because he served as a knight. Even though the brothers were knights that were captured, there were still displayed as honorable and did not try to kill each other in a dishonorable way in order to have Emelye. Female professions have little rights and religious servants are sometimes hypocrites. It is better to be the Knight because of various reasons. He is a figure of everything positive and as a profession; I would choose to be one.

Many know it as the "boot", but Italy is amongst the most visited tourist destinations in the world. Arriving at the Livorno port, we quickly meet our private tour guide. A distinquished older man, yet capable of mesmorizing all the women. Salt&Pepper hair, well dressed and well spoken. The "must see" leaning tower of Pisa is visited first with the sky so blue giving the backdrop of this crooked building life. Was very surprised in seeing the cleanliness of the area despite thousands of visitors. Passing by the Cathedrale, Field of Miracles, Baptisery and cementery to complete the Pisa tour.
Quick…to the Batmobile….we head for Florence. Romanesque Church of Santa Croce, the burial place of Michelangelo, the incredible cathedral of Santa Maria dei Fiori, Piazza della Signoria, statue of David and the medieval Palazzo Vecchio and of course the Ponte Vecchio, the legendary 14th century bridge were all visited.
When we just think it's over, we drive through the Tuscany hills heading for Chianti for our wine tour. Seeing the passion they have for wine and how it is done just made the tour all that more interesting.
A true taste of Chianti.


?????. Hello there I am Tipsy. I do it because i like it, i can be an angel but you can be sure there's always the little devil peeking not afar. Decided to go with a different brand that I found in stores because I didn't have time to order online again.


The Round Top Carmine ISD Education Foundation is hosting an incredible Art Event! Live student and professional art demonstrations will be available for sale along with works from the RTCISD students from grades Pre-K-12. Free to the public.


You hear about an incredible retrospective of early American avant-garde film at your local museum, you mark it on your calendar, you promise yourself you're going to get up off the couch and go...and yet somehow you never quite make it to the exhibition. Your one chance to see early works by Robert Flaherty, Elia Kazan, Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray, among others, is gone!
Now, thanks to curator Bruce Posner and producer David Shepard, you've got a second chance to redeem your laziness. Unseen Cinema: Early American Avant-Garde Film 1894-1941 will be nationally released on DVD by Image Entertainment on October 18, 2005. The seven-disc box set of 155 films runs over 20 hours, and features dramas, abstractions, home movies, parodies and animation all created prior to World War II.
Posner and Shepard met when the former was touring with the original Unseen Films retrospective in 2001. Posner, who ran the Harvard Film Archive from 1990-1995, originally came up with the idea of putting together the touring collection after swallowing a chicken bone during dinner in 1999. "Twenty-two days and three operations later, I realized it was time to do something big," Posner recalls. "I had always had a specific interest in avant-garde art films, so I decided to find out what happened to all these early American films that had disappeared."
Sixty leading film archives, including the British Film Institute, The Museum of Modern Art, Nederlands Filmmuseum, Paramount Pictures and George Eastman House, cooperated with Anthology Film Archives, the New York-based screening and film preservation center, to compile the touring program. Rights were then renegotiated for the DVD set.
Fans of documentary films will notice a few familiar names on the roster of directors whose films are featured in the set. Posner notes that one of the most surprising things he discovered while working on Unseen Cinema was how many documentary filmmakers had come from avant-garde backgrounds. "In the late 1920s-early 1930s, there was no real distinction between the documentary and avant-garde forms," he explains. "The difference really arose in the mid-30s, as filmmakers became more interested in social issues, partly as a result of the Depression."
Noted documentarian Robert Flaherty's 24 Dollar Island (1926), which celebrates New York 's skyscrapers, is just one example of this kind of work. According to Posner, "Many had written this off and dismissed it as an incomplete work, but we were able to piece together the film from sources in Russia and Amsterdam to get a pretty complete version of the 35mm film."
