James RiddellsTheir start in the Aneora business was in a part of the Shaw flock originally imported toOregon by Colonel Landrum. They con-tinued to use bucks of the Landrum strain inthis flock till the year 1902, when they gotpossession of the Harris tlock of pure bredTurkish Angoras, and began to use bucks fromthe latter flock on their original flock. The bucks from the Harris flock made abig improvement in the kids and were used ex-clusively as sires up to 1904, when they pur-chased a buck from the Hoerle importation andused him and a Harris buck that year.

Estou de volta. Não tive escolha.
Quando me dei por mim já havia uma luz, e eu soube naquele exato momento que era hora de voltar pra casa. Aquele maldito mago finalmente resolveu me trazer de volta... mas por que logo agora?!
Finalmente começava a me sentir “em casa” novamente. Havia começado a gostar do meu novo lar, gostado das pessoas, conhecido novos lugares, novas comidas... e também havia aquela garota, Aya.
Quando passara uns dias na casa dela, ambos haviam conversado bastante. Ela o levara para conhecer os lugares que gostava, preparando tudo com muito carinho, ele experimentara novas comidas também.
Tinha finalmente começado a se habituar, e principalmente a aceitar que nunca mais voltaria a Camelot.
Mas que droga aquele maldito mago estava pensando?!
Ele havia a beijado! Prometera que não iria embora tão cedo, e de repente lá estava ele, em seu antigo país, a séculos longe dela...
Teria muito o que explicar no final...
Isso é, se ele um dia voltasse a vê-la novamente.

Alguém sofreu um pequeno acidente esse sábado!
Criou vida e se espatifou no chão T___T. Ta...ok... não espatifou mas meteu a bochecha no concreto e se ralou todo...
To frustrada! Olhei pro lado e quando olhei de novo e lá estava ele no chão. E nem estava tão longe assim T___T. Arthur foi pro Spa da tia Akari e veremos o que ela consegue fazer por ele.
Até lá... Arthur está em Camelot.
Pelo menos consegui bastante foto dele.

UNE EXPÉRIENCE CULINAIRE EXTRAORDINAIRE ARRIVE À MONTRÉAL
Le concept fait déjà fureur en Europe, en Australie, à Los Angeles et à New York. Maintenant, O.NOIR, le tout premier restaurant au Canada qui vous invite à vivre l'expérience d'une bonne table et de conversations agréables comme jamais auparavant DANS LE NOIR!
Il s'agit d'une expérience culinaire sensuelle entièrement unique! Lorsqu'on mange sans voir, nos autres sens s'intensifient pour savourer l'arôme et le goût de la nourriture. Dans l’obscurité, les aliments prennent une saveur culinaire exceptionnelle.
O.NOIR va plus loin que seulement allumer l'imagination et stimuler les sens. Après avoir passé quelques heures dans la noirceur totale (oui, vous avez bien lu aucune lampe de poche, bougie, allumette ou montre lumineuse, aucun téléphone cellulaire ou briquet), les clients comprennent mieux ce que c'est que vivre avec la cécité tout comme le personnel de service du restaurant.
Ce concept socialement responsable a vu le jour grâce à une idée originale de Jorge Spielmann, un pasteur aveugle de Zurich qui avait l'habitude de bander les yeux de ses invités chez lui, afin qu'ils puissent partager son expérience culinaire. En 1999, monsieur Spielmann a ouvert Blindekuh (« vache aveugle », en allemand), un projet visant à enseigner aux voyants au sujet du monde des non-voyants et à assurer des emplois aux personnes aveugles.
Onoir a sollicité l'aide d’Horizon Travail (un organisme affilié à Emploi Québec), qui aide à préparer et à former les malvoyants à faire leur entrée dans le marché du travail. Il s'agit d'une population chez qui le taux de chômage est d'environ 70 %.
O.NOIR remet un pourcentage de ses bénéfices à des associations locales qui soutiennent les personnes aveugles ou ayant une déficience visuelle de tous âges.
Apres 5 ans, nous offrons tout ce que vous attendez d'une bonne table : un service de première classe, des délices au menu et en prime, une expérience culinaire sans pareil!

AN EXTRAORDINARY CULINARY ADVENTURE COMES TO MONTREAL.
Canada's first-ever restaurant that invites you to experience food, drink and conversation like never before IN THE DARK!
It's a sensual dining experience like no other. When you eat without your sight, your remaining senses are heightened to savour the smell and taste of food.
O.NOIR does more than just fire the imagination and stimulate the senses. After a few hours in complete darkness (that's right, no flashlights, matches, cell phones, cigarette lighters or luminous watches), customers gain a better understanding of what it's like to be blind - just like the restaurants' entire wait staff.
This socially conscious concept sprang from Jorge Spielmann, a blind pastor in Zurich who used to blindfold his dinner guests at his home so they could share his eating experience. In 1999, Spielmann opened Blindekuh (German for Blind Cow), a project aimed at teaching the sighted about the sightless world, and provide jobs for blind people.
Onoir has elicited the help of Horizon Travail (an organisation affiliated with Emploi Quebec), which helps prepare and train visually impaired people to enter the mainstream job market; a population that experiences roughly a 70% unemployment rate.
A percentage of Onoir’s profits are given to support local associations that serve blind and visually impaired people of all ages.
We offer everything you'd expect from a fine restaurant: Great service, an enticing menu plus, a culinary experience like no other!

e. Under thespreading branches of this tree flowed a black andcruel river in whose waters lived many souls intorment. So great was his pity for their wretchedstate that Sir Guyon forgot the golden apples, norwould he be persuaded by Mammon to rest on asilver stool in the shadow of the great tree. Thusfor three days he remained in that place and heardthe piteous tales of those suffering souls who stood THE CAVE OF MAMMON 251 in the river for their sins. And when those threedays were at an end Sir Guyon besoughtMammon that hewould take himback to the worldagain. ThenMammon was lothto let Guyon re-turn to the upperair, yet seeing thathe was not to betempted by gold,he was forced tolet him go. SoGuyon mountedthe returningpath, but whenhis eyes saw thesunshine and hissenses felt the aironce more, so greatwas his wearinessand the sorrow he suffered because of theHouse of Richesse and the Garden of Pro-serpina, that he fell senseless to the ground.And there came an angel and watched over him

Sculpture from the magnificent chantry chapel of Prince Arthur at Worcester, a masterpiece of late medieval architecture and sculpture and the last resting place of Henry VIII's elder brother.
Unusually, most of the medieval statuary of the chapel has survived both Reformation and Civil War though the main reredos figures have been defaced, though it seems the primary motive here was to remove the extremeties of the sculptures, allowing a flatter surface to board or plaster over! Nonetheless enough survives to give a good indication of their quality.
Worcester Cathedral is the commanding presence on the skyline of the city, perched on high ground overlooking the River Severn. It is one of England's most rewarding cathedrals, though denied first rank status owing to the heavy handed Victorian restorations it underwent, an unavoidable consequence of being built of soft red sandstone (a problem shared with Chester and Lichfield) and thus a 19th century feel pervades inside and out in it's mostly renewed external stonework and furnishings.
The cathedral impresses with it's scale, one or our longer churches, crowned by a magnificent central tower (originally surmounted by a lead spire, lost sometime after the Refomation; subtle alterations to the tower's design were made when it was refaced in the Victorian restoration) and with a secondary pair of transepts flanking the choir (as at Salisbury, Lincoln, Rochester & Canterbury). Of the former monastic buildings the cloister and Norman chapter house have survived (along with the refectory, now part of neighbouring King's School), making this a more complex and enjoyable building to explore.
The earliest parts are of the Norman period with the superb 12th century crypt under the choir. The west end of the nave is also Norman work, though very late and unusual in design, with transitional pointed arches. However the bulk of the building we see dates from the 13th and 14th centuries, the east end in Early English gothic style (where most of the windows were restored to stepped lancets by Sir George Gilbert Scott during the Victorian restoration, having been altered over the centuries), whilst the remainder of the nave and tower largely of the Decorated period (the cathedral originally also possessed a detached octagonal bell tower with a lead spire, which stood near the north east corner but was demolished in 1647).
Of the original furnishings little remains beyond the fine set of misericords in the choir stalls. The stained glass too is nearly entirely Victorian (only some meagre, much restored medieval fragments survive in traceries of the south aisle). Much of the Victorian glass is quite impressive, particularly the great east and west windows by Hardman's of Birmingham.
Worcester is however especially rich in tombs and monuments of all periods, with medieval effigies of bishops, knights and ladies, not all in good condition but worth seeking out. There are also several large tombs from the post-Reformation period (especially in the cluttered south aisle) and some fine Baroque work in the north transept.
The most significant of the monuments here are Royal; in the centre of the choir lies the fine 13th century effigy of King John, best remembered for signing the Magna Carta. Nearby is the superb chantry chapel of Prince Arthur, elder brother of Henry VIII, whose premature death aged 15 changed England forever (one of the most pivotal moments in our history, had he survived the Reformation may never have happened). The gorgeous late Perpendicular gothic chapel stands to the south of the High Altar and is remarkable for it's rich sculpted detail.

Ce concept socialement responsable a vu le jour grâce à une idée originale de Jorge Spielmann, un pasteur aveugle de Zurich qui avait l'habitude de bander les yeux de ses invités chez lui, afin qu'ils puissent partager son expérience culinaire. En 1999, monsieur Spielmann a ouvert Blindekuh (« vache aveugle », en allemand), un projet visant à enseigner aux voyants au sujet du monde des non-voyants et à assurer des emplois aux personnes aveugles.
Onoir a sollicité l'aide d’Horizon Travail (un organisme affilié à Emploi Québec), qui aide à préparer et à former les malvoyants à faire leur entrée dans le marché du travail. Il s'agit d'une population chez qui le taux de chômage est d'environ 70 %.
O.NOIR remet un pourcentage de ses bénéfices à des associations locales qui soutiennent les personnes aveugles ou ayant une déficience visuelle de tous âges.
Apres 5 ans, nous offrons tout ce que vous attendez d'une bonne table : un service de première classe, des délices au menu et en prime, une expérience culinaire sans pareil!

AN EXTRAORDINARY CULINARY ADVENTURE COMES TO MONTREAL.
Canada's first-ever restaurant that invites you to experience food, drink and conversation like never before IN THE DARK!
It's a sensual dining experience like no other. When you eat without your sight, your remaining senses are heightened to savour the smell and taste of food.
O.NOIR does more than just fire the imagination and stimulate the senses. After a few hours in complete darkness (that's right, no flashlights, matches, cell phones, cigarette lighters or luminous watches), customers gain a better understanding of what it's like to be blind - just like the restaurants' entire wait staff.
This socially conscious concept sprang from Jorge Spielmann, a blind pastor in Zurich who used to blindfold his dinner guests at his home so they could share his eating experience. In 1999, Spielmann opened Blindekuh (German for Blind Cow), a project aimed at teaching the sighted about the sightless world, and provide jobs for blind people.
Onoir has elicited the help of Horizon Travail (an organisation affiliated with Emploi Quebec), which helps prepare and train visually impaired people to enter the mainstream job market; a population that experiences roughly a 70% unemployment rate.
A percentage of Onoir’s profits are given to support local associations that serve blind and visually impaired people of all ages.
We offer everything you'd expect from a fine restaurant: Great service, an enticing menu plus, a culinary experience like no other!
O.NOIR - IT'S BETTER IN THE DARK
Detail from the magnificent chantry chapel of Prince Arthur at Worcester, a masterpiece of late medieval architecture and sculpture and the last resting place of Henry VIII's elder brother.
Worcester Cathedral is the commanding presence on the skyline of the city, perched on high ground overlooking the River Severn. It is one of England's most rewarding cathedrals, though denied first rank status owing to the heavy handed Victorian restorations it underwent, an unavoidable consequence of being built of soft red sandstone (a problem shared with Chester and Lichfield) and thus a 19th century feel pervades inside and out in it's mostly renewed external stonework and furnishings.
The cathedral impresses with it's scale, one or our longer churches, crowned by a magnificent central tower (originally surmounted by a lead spire, lost sometime after the Refomation; subtle alterations to the tower's design were made when it was refaced in the Victorian restoration) and with a secondary pair of transepts flanking the choir (as at Salisbury, Lincoln, Rochester & Canterbury). Of the former monastic buildings the cloister and Norman chapter house have survived (along with the refectory, now part of neighbouring King's School), making this a more complex and enjoyable building to explore.
The earliest parts are of the Norman period with the superb 12th century crypt under the choir. The west end of the nave is also Norman work, though very late and unusual in design, with transitional pointed arches. However the bulk of the building we see dates from the 13th and 14th centuries, the east end in Early English gothic style (where most of the windows were restored to stepped lancets by Sir George Gilbert Scott during the Victorian restoration, having been altered over the centuries), whilst the remainder of the nave and tower largely of the Decorated period (the cathedral originally also possessed a detached octagonal bell tower with a lead spire, which stood near the north east corner but was demolished in 1647).
Of the original furnishings little remains beyond the fine set of misericords in the choir stalls. The stained glass too is nearly entirely Victorian (only some meagre, much restored medieval fragments survive in traceries of the south aisle). Much of the Victorian glass is quite impressive, particularly the great east and west windows by Hardman's of Birmingham.
Worcester is however especially rich in tombs and monuments of all periods, with medieval effigies of bishops, knights and ladies, not all in good condition but worth seeking out. There are also several large tombs from the post-Reformation period (especially in the cluttered south aisle) and some fine Baroque work in the north transept.
The most significant of the monuments here are Royal; in the centre of the choir lies the fine 13th century effigy of King John, best remembered for signing the Magna Carta. Nearby is the superb chantry chapel of Prince Arthur, elder brother of Henry VIII, whose premature death aged 15 changed England forever (one of the most pivotal moments in our history, had he survived the Reformation may never have happened). The gorgeous late Perpendicular gothic chapel stands to the south of the High Altar and is remarkable for it's rich sculpted detail.

Sculpture from the magnificent chantry chapel of Prince Arthur at Worcester, a masterpiece of late medieval architecture and sculpture and the last resting place of Henry VIII's elder brother.
Unusually, most of the medieval statuary of the chapel has survived both Reformation and Civil War though the main reredos figures have been defaced, though it seems the primary motive here was to remove the extremeties of the sculptures, allowing a flatter surface to board or plaster over! Nonetheless enough survives to give a good indication of their quality.
