Again, I turned the viewing angle, this time intentionally looking for something that could make a great desktop wallpaper background. Once I have tested it on my desktop, I will recreate it in popular size formats for download. In the meantime, anyone who knows how to find the points to make a single tile for this should be able to use it for a background on any site that tiles images, such as YouTube. View it large to see what you think. I often like the ones that bring in some of the softer parts of the image since I think they make less obtrusive backgrounds.

As I mentioned in the July 1st picture from which this kaleidoscope tessellation is made, it’s pretty hard to make just one of these. As I move around in the software, I see a design that just catches my eye and grabs me, and I have to share it with others. For August 1st, that has turned out to be six designs so far. Please enjoy.

ENGLISH
The church of San Martin is one of the buildings with the most transformations of the town legacy. An in-depth study of this church has never been made, but its location in one of the most strategical locations of the town, and its remains, are important keys to knowing its evolution throughout the History.

In the decade of the 20s of the 20th century, as it was in ruins and without cult, part of it was pulled down in order to ease the road traffic circulation, so that only part of the apse at the front part of the church and the original central gate at the bottom remain; the central part of the three christians naves and the transept were in good conditions in the late 19th century, as showed in a photograph published by Amador de los Ríos, but they disappeared in the partial demolition of the 20s.

The paleochristian and visigothic remains embedded in its walls made Amador de los Rios consider the existence of a primitive christian church on that site, maybe the episcopal see of the Visigothic Elepla. That assumed building would have been used for the construction of one of the main mosques of the muslim Labla, with five naves and almina. The conversion of the building to the christian cult after the conquest, with Latin cross plan and a beautiful masonry apse, would have involved considerable changes in its appearence: the complete or partial demolition of its assumed five naves, the conversion of the alminar into a bell tower, the increase of its height, the blocking off of the doors, etc.

The remaining door at the bottom of the central nave is made of bricks and has the typical muslim shape: double horseshoe arch on marble macelas, alfiz and borders with lacería pattern ( geometrical decoration consisting of interlaced lines forming star-shaped and poligonal figures).

The comparison of that door with other ones of the peninsular south leads to think that it is maybe a mudejar work of the 14th century, subsequent to the christian conquest.

According to the photographs of the late 19th century referred to above, the church would have three naves, with the central one on an upper level than the lateral ones. The fact that the naves have pointed horseshoe arches could lead to date them about the 1400.

The apse, the most monumental part of the church, is not common in the onubense gothic style. Nevertheless, it has a polygonal plan of twelve sides and its vault has no espinazo rib (the rib that links the arches’ keystones going through the vault’s keystone), which is a typical feature of Seville’s and Huelva’s Gothic style. There are some parallels with Seville’s cathedral , according to which the apse could date from the first quarter of the 15th century.

CASTELLANO
La iglesia de San Martín es uno de los edificios que con más transformaciones nos ha legado la ciudad. No ha sido nunca estudiado en profundidad, pero por su localización en uno de los puntos más estratégicos de la ciudad, y los restos conservados, representan importantes claves para el conocimiento de su evolución a lo largo de la Historia.

En la década de los años veinte del presente siglo, al encontrarse en ruina y sin culto, se comenzó a derribar para facilitar la circulación del tráfico rodado, quedando sólo en pie parte del ábside en la cabecera y la primitiva puerta central de acceso en los pies de la iglesia, perdiéndose desde esos momentos la parte central de las tres naves cristianas y el crucero, que todavía se encontraba en buen estado a finales del siglo XIX, según fotografía publicada por Amador de los Ríos.

Los restos paleocristianos y visigodos empotrados en sus muro llevaron a amador de los Ríos a considerar la existencia en el lugar de un primitivo templo cristiano, quizás la sede episcopal de la Elepla visigoda, que habría servido de base para la construcción de una de las principales mezquitas de la Labla musulmana, construida con cinco naves y almina. La transformación al culto cristiano después de la conquista, con planta latina y un ábside en cantería de gran calidad y presencia, conllevaría un importante cambio en su fisonomía, tal vez su derribo completo o de parte de sus posibles cinco naves, adaptación del alminar a campanario, elevación de alturas, tapiado de puertas, etc.

La puerta conservada a los pies de la nave central está fabricada con ladrillo y mantiene una forma típicamente musulmana, con doble arco de herradura enjarjada sobre macelas de mármol, alfiz, recuadro doblado y cenefa de lacería.

Dada su comparación con otras puertas del sur de la Península hacen sospechar que se trate de una obra mudéjar del siglo XIV, posterior por ello a la conquista cristiana.

Según las fotografías de finales del siglo XIX conservadas, la iglesia constaría de tres naves, con la central elevada a mayor altura que las laterales. El que aparezcan conformadas con arcos de herradura apuntada podría fecharlas alrededor del año 1400.

El ábside, que parece ser la parte más monumental de la iglesia, no es corriente en el gótico onubense. Sin embargo, presenta planta dodecágono con bóveda carente de nervio de espinazo, como es normal en el gótico de las provincias de Sevilla y Huelva. Algunos de los detalles, paralelizbles en la Catedral de Sevilla, lo fecharían en el primer cuarto del siglo XV.

My husband and I met on eHarmony and a friend of mine from college got married eight days ago to someone that she met on eHarmony. Both of us are good Christian women, and so are our husbands. eHarmony asks all sorts of questions, including religious preference ones, in order to match you up. You should give it a shot!

World Religions Form Green Pilgrimage Network including Amritsar

Washington, DC (PRWEB) November 15, 2011

November 15, Washington: A ban on cars on pilgrimage routes; solar panels for cathedral roofs; provision of fresh clean, water for pilgrims, and the planting of thousands of trees around sacred sites – these are just some of the initiatives which the founder members of the Green Pilgrimage Network (GPN) pledged to implement. Amritsar, only city from India or South Asia, joined the network formed during a summit from October 1- November 3, 2011, in Assisi, Italy. This was jointly organized by Alliance of Religions and Conservation (ARC) and World Wildlife Fund (WWF).

UK?s Royal Princess Michael, the Duke of Kent, gave a certificate of joining of Amritsar city in the newly formed Green Pilgrimage Network (GPN) on behalf of ARC at the first international conference of pilgrim cities, around the world, in Assisi, Italy. S. Dalmegh Singh, Secretary Shiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC) received this certificate on behalf of the holy city. In addition, K.S Pannu, Chairman Punjab Pollution Control Board (PPCB), Dr. Rajwant Singh, President EcoSikh and Ravneet Pal Singh, EcoSikh India project manager were the other Sikh delegates. EcoSikh organized Sikh participation and worked with SGPC and the Punjab Government for Amritsar’s inclusion.

“Cities from China to Norway and faiths from all around the world today commit to making one of the most powerful religious experiences ? pilgrimage — a living witness to a commitment to protect our living planet,” said ARC secretary general Martin Palmer in the release.

“The idea does not belong to these founder members or even to ARC or WWF. This is an invitation to all holy places to put into practice what they preach — namely, that when we walk upon this earth, we walk upon sacred land,” he said.

Founder members of the Green Pilgrimage Network include: Amritsar, India (for Sikhs); Assisi, Italy (Roman Catholic);Etchmiadzin, Armenia (Armenian Orthodox);Haifa, Israel (Bah???);Jerusalem (for Jews, Christians and Muslims);Jinja Honcho, the Association of Shinto shrines in Japan;Kano, Nigeria (Islam?s Qadiriyyah Sufi tradition);Louguan in the People?s Republic of China (Daoists);St Albans, England (Church of England);Luss, Loch Lomond, Scotland (Church of Scotland);St Pishoy Monastery, Wadi El Natroun, Egypt (the Coptic Orthodox Church); and Trondheim, Norway (Lutheran Church of Norway).

A detailed presentation on the Golden Temple and environment initiatives by the SGPC and Amritsar city was presented by Dr. Rajwant Singh and Ravneet Pal Singh to the entire gathering. Included in the presentation were plantation drives, solar energy use and future water recycling programs. A movie on food (Langar) preparation in the Golden temple for thousands of pilgrims, its distribution and eco-friendly cleaning was also shown. Many delegates from all over the world had a first time exposure to the Sikh tradition of free food, the Langar and Sikh activism on environment preservation.

Victoria Finaly, the Communication Director of ARC said, ?The Sikh presentation was one of the best showcasing of their work, faith and practice and variety in the environment initiatives.? Delegates from many other cities expressed that there is much to be learned from Sikh initiatives on environment.

Dalmegh Singh on behalf of the President of SGPC said, ?SGPC is willing to partner to make the city of Amritsar as eco-friendly as possible. We have already devoted considerable resources towards environmental awareness and preservation.?

Dr. Rajwant Singh, said, ?Making Amritsar a green city will require close coordination between the religious sector, the civil society and the government. We are hopeful that this implementation will occur rapidly and Punjab government will step up.? Washington based EcoSikh coordinated the Sikh participation and bringing the Amritsar in the network.

During the group discussions, Ravneet Pal Singh presented various ideas like a nature walk around the pilgrimage centres, green messages from faith theology to be displayed in the sacred sites to sensitize and connect the pilgrims with nature and its preservation and a pledge form for people to commit to green action. These ideas were welcomed by the august gathering.

Mr. K S Pannu presented his views in a panel discussion on the topic of ?What cities can do to become Green Pilgrim Cities?. He elaborated his own role in implementing the certain regulations to improve the sustainability of the Amritsar city and the state of Punjab. He challenged the faiths to put their own share and not depend on Governments alone to bring the change.

Mr. Gopal Patel, manager of UK based, Hindu Bhumi Project, presented the first phase of his plans of greening of Hindu temples and Green Puja across the globe. According to him, Hindu pilgrim cities from India in the next phase.

Prayers from each faith interspersed the entire programme. A hymn by Guru Arjun Dev, ?Sabh bidh tum he jaan-te pyare? was recited by Dr. Rajwant Singh before lunch time on the first day of the conference. The attendees joined in singing the Sikh prayer at the invitation by Dr. Singh.

Muslim representative from UK inaugurated their Guide Book on Green Hajj. About 6 Million pilgrims are expected to Hajj this November and Muslims hope to spread to word to curtail the use of plastic bottles. The city of Trondheim, a pilgrim city in northern Europe presented its own plans and the mayor of the city, Mr. Geirund Lykke invited the faiths for the second conference of GPC network in 2012.

Other plans announced by Green Pilgrimage Network leaders included measures to protect nature, teach children about conservation, protect sacred forests, reduce waste and encourage recycling, and organize nature tours for pilgrims.

The Green Pilgrimage Network released a list of various efforts pilgrims and pilgrim cities can make, such as choosing sustainable tourist agencies and travel arrangements, eating and drinking ethically, minimizing waste, and supporting work being done locally to help “green” the sacred destination.

The Sacred Land Celebration opened on 31 October with a procession of religious delegates, led by Her Royal Highness Princess Michael of Kent. She represented ARC founder the Duke of Edinburgh, who was unable to attend because of illness.

ARC has brought together major faiths of the world to form a Green network of pilgrimage cities across the globe. In this inaugural conference 11 world pilgrim cities of different faiths are participating including Amritsar represented by Sikhs at Assisi.

The conference began with procession from basilica of St Francis, Assisi led by Royal Princess Michael, Duke of Kent. In addition, religious leaders of major faiths in their traditional robes and attires joined the procession. Representatives of faiths included Sikhs, Baha?is , Muslims, Hindus, Christians, Dao of China, Mongolian Buddhist, Church of Armenian, St. Albans, Anglican Church, Jews, Shinto from Japan and Muslims representing cities of their faiths in the inaugural gathering. High-school children from Assisi carried the flags containing symbols of different religions. Sikh religion was represented in the procession by S. Dalmegh Singh, Secretary Shiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC) along with Mr. Kahan Singh Pannu, IAS, Chairman Punjab Pollution Control Board PPCB, Dr. Rajwant Singh, President EcoSikh from Washington DC and Ravneet Pal Singh, EcoSikh Project Manager from India.

The colorful and impressive procession culminated at the conference hall where prayers by leaders of different faiths were recited.

Amritsar, the city of Golden Temple is the only Indian city of pilgrimage to join the green network so far. SGPC has been instrumental in the matter of joining the green network spearheaded by EcoSikh.

Does joining yahoo personals also make you a member of yahoo christian singles?

Question by violet: Does joining yahoo personals also make you a member of yahoo christian singles?
Is there one singles site to meet other singles that you can join and be a member of all of them? I am interested in yahoo personals and yahoo Christian personals. What is the difference? Can I join yahoo personals and also chech yahoo christian personals? How do I join yahoo Christian personals.?

Best answer:

Answer by BabeHeart
I wasn’t aware Yahoo! had more than one dating site. I would think they were separate as I use Personals, but would have no interest in belonging to a xian dating site…Yahoo! can make more money by keeping them separate rather than allowing people who join one, to have access to all (however many there are).

That info should be provided when you sign up/join though. If you have access to other services then I would assume they would let you know.

Christwire Wants You to Read Their Christwire Handbook Or Burn In Hell

(PRWEB) January 17, 2012

A myriad of celebrities are enthralled by ChristWire.org too, like Karl Rove, who follows them on Twitter, John Stamos, who?s their fan on Facebook, and there are regular references to their shenanigans on Andrew Wilkow’s show on Sirius XM. ChristWire remains a mystery, but there is clearly an audience on both sides of fence who will turn to their new book, THE CHRISTWIRE HANDBOOK (christwirebook.com). It is a comprehensive and highly amusing guide to help good Christian Americans survive the many tribulations they are bound to encounter throughout the course of their lives in a sinful world.

From YouTube to Wikipedia, the question has been hotly debated: Are these dudes for real or are we dealing with some serious, cutting-edge satirists? The time has come for YOU to decide?.

In January 2012, Citadel Press proudly published THE CHRISTWIRE HANDBOOK (christwirebook.com), penned by best-selling author, motivational speaker, and youth pastor extraordinaire Jack Gould, along with youth leader and abstinence practitioner Tyson Bowers III.

With a mission to ?combat the evil liberals of this world and once again ensure that a bit of freedom and righteousness once again permeates every country?? THE CHRISTWIRE HANDBOOK offers sagacious advice on an array of immoral subjects, including (but not limited) to:

?????????The Homogay Agenda

?????????Glistening Red Sun of Technological Damnation

?????????Foreign Dangers

?????????The American Liberal Elite

A national media sensation,ChristWire takes righteousness beyond the bounds of reason. You can?t argue the truth. If God didn?t send tornadoes to warn blacks about rap music, who did? If your husband isn?t a closet gay, he must secretly be Chinese. Don?t send your son to college unless you want to expose him to the dangers of vajazzling. This is no joke, folks. ChristWire is here to save the world from falling into the hands of sanity.

?ChristWire is extremely excellent and brilliant.?

-Rachel Maddow

?I?m the anti-ChristWire.?

-Howard Stern

?When I need the fulfillment of spirit, I turn to the words of Christwire?

-Andrew Wilkow

“It?s so good?and people on the Internet are so insane that no one gets it.”

-Village Voice

“In the world of ChristWire?the recent increase of pet-on-pet rape is a pernicious consequence of same-sex marriage.”

-New York Magazine

“The leading Internet site for ultraconservative Christian news, commentary and weather reportage.”

-New York Times

“ChristWire?s genius (or evil) lies in its hypberbolic, worst-case scenario Christian coverage of everything.”

-Jezebel.com

?Our biggest rival for making you laugh.?

-Cracked.com

?PRICELESS! Can?t tell if he?s serious or not but the sad part is MANY will take it as gospel!?

-Billy Burke from Twilight
