La Rue Obscure is the oldest street in the old town of Villefranche sur Mer on the French Riviera, between Nice and Monaco. It was built on virgin soil at the beginning of the 13th century. La Rue Obscure formed the basis of the rest of the town’s construction on the slopes rising from this coastal lane. It gave inhabitants of the town certain refuge against possible attacks. The ship captains who were forced by storms to anchor in the bay, could make necessary repairs in safety. La Rue Obscure also welcomed precious merchandise, such as wine, in its cellars.

: / : / : / : February 13, 2008 09:15am A HISTORIC morning has seen Prime Minister Kevin Rudd say sorry for the “grief, suffering and loss” suffered by the Aboriginal people in the past 220 years. National Apology to Members of the Stolen Generation 13th february 2008 To say Sorry brings healing and a new trust to those who have suffered, we as Australian are all responsible for the well being of Australia, let us live as one. The Alice Springs Telegraph Station Historical Reserve marks the original site of the first European settlement in Alice Springs.

Say Sorry on Feb 13th!!!

For those Australian’s out in the Bubble world who have switch on the tv in the last week two you will be aware of the governments decision to appologise to the Stolen Generations of Australia’s Aboriginal peoples. In the spirit of reconcillation (as an indigenous australian myself) I would like to invite all interested members of Red Bubble to show there support and create there own Sorry Statement and upload it to the Aboriginal Art group ” and with abit of luck the powers at red bubble will also pick up this idea and theme the home page in the spirit of reconcillation. Please feel free to share this with other bubble members – it would be great to see a ground swell happening & I will make sure that many of the elders that I know will see your sorry statements on Feb 13th. If you need to find a reason to say Sorry read below: THis is an exerpt from an e-mail I recieved recently. / From Crikey: / Mythbusters: ten sorry excuses exploded / Editor of The National Indigenous Times Chris Graham writes: There’s nothing like a little ‘sorry’ debate to get white Australia all red and puffy. Here’s a punter’s guide to exploding 10 of the more virulent myths surrounding a national apology to members of the Stolen Generations: It was done by a previous generation. / Not correct. Of all the Stolen Generations myths, this is the biggest. If it were “previous generations”, then surely there’d be no-one left to apologize to? The facts are that the removal of Aboriginal children continued well into the 1960s and early 1970s. It’s worth noting it was absolutely raging during the late 1950s, when a small, lispy man named John Howard was serving as president of the NSW Young Liberals. Saying sorry won’t deliver better results in health, housing or education. / Here’s a surprising revelation for you—saying sorry is not supposed to deliver health, housing and education. Equally, saying sorry won’t prevent governments from delivering health, housing and education. This particular objection is perhaps the dumbest of them all and is run by conservatives like Warren Mundine, Noel Pearson and The Australian. Its fundamental flaw is that it relies on the premise that Australia is so backward as a nation we can’t deliver practical outcomes while simultaneously delivering symbolic gestures. In other words, we can’t walk and chew gum at the same time. I will not be made to feel guilt and shame for something I didn’t do. / In the case of younger Australians who were not alive during the removal practices, the word ‘Sorry’ does not have to be an expression of shame or guilt. It can be an expression of empathy, as in ‘I’m sorry to hear your mum died’ or ‘I’m sorry you got hurt in that car accident’. Personally, I was born in 1972 when government started to abandon the removal policies. I don’t feel shame at my personal actions, but I do feel shame at the actions of my country. As for older Australians, many claim ‘I had nothing to do with it’. Well, that’s part of the problem – bad things happen when good people stay silent. The point is not that older Australians participated in the removal process, but that they did nothing to stop it. Saying ‘But I didn’t know it was happening’ is certainly more than sufficient to keep you out of a court of law, but it’s not enough to excuse you from a collective national apology. If you’re still confused on this front, you might recall that several years ago, John Howard apologized to Vietnam Veterans for their treatment when they returned from the war. Again, having been born in 1972, I didn’t mistreat Vietnam Veterans. But I had absolutely no problem with the PM saying sorry to them on my behalf, because I am sorry (and I ashamed for my nation) that they were treated so poorly. Some Aboriginal leaders have said an apology is not important. / Sure, but almost every one of them (hi Warren, hi Noel!) are not members of the Stolen Generations. Their views on whether or not an apology is warranted are no more or less relevant than your or my view… because none of us are victims. Aboriginal people can’t even agree on an apology. / Wow, Aboriginal people have this amazing thing called ‘independent thought’. The facts are that some members of the Stolen Generations don’t want an apology. That’s their right. But the overwhelming majority do. That’s also their right. It costs us nothing. / Contrary to popular opinion, a national apology will have no legal affect on the capacity of members of the Stolen Generations to seek compensation. As a nation, an apology costs us nothing. Period. I didn’t do it! / No, you didn’t. But you certainly benefited from it. Just as all Australians today, even some black Australians (hi Noel, hi Warren!) have directly benefited from the theft of Aboriginal land, all Australians have benefited from the removal of Aboriginal children. Why? Because almost all children who were removed to government institutions were then forced to work for the government or private citizens for little or no pay. In America, they called that process slavery. In Australia, we called it ‘apprenticeships’. / In December 2006, both the federal parliament released a report supported by the ALP and the Liberals acknowledging the stolen wages scandal. The people who performed the removals were good people who did a bad thing. / Big f-cking deal. Good people do bad things all the time, but that doesn’t mean they’re excused from apologising. It won’t affect white Australia, so why worry? / The removals practice AND the use of this issue by John Howard as a race wedge is a stain on white Australia’s recent past. Just as Aboriginal people need an apology to move on, white Australia needs to apologise to move on. Saying sorry won’t change the past. / Sadly, it won’t. But it will have a massive impact on the future. That’s the whole point. A real apology will mean an enormous amount to Aboriginal people. I still can’t fathom what sort of a nation would deny them one. Thanks in advance. Bianca Beetson / (Pinkstinks)

Smethcote Church, though rebuilt in 1850, contains some original features and has stood on the present site since at least the 12th Century. To the west of the church is the mound of a motte-and-bailey castle which commanded the road in the valley below. / The church is not mentioned in any records before 1341, but the building still retains some 12th century features and there was almost certainly a church here even earlier. In the thirteenth century, a certain Roger Clericus, resident in Smethcote in 1262, may well have been the rector. / There are several details that point to an early date for the church, such as the blocked north doorway of the nave, which has a lintel like a semicircular tympanum. The priest’s doorway is of the same character, though the lintel has a slightly different form. There is a small Norman window in the north wall of the chancel. Four stones, found in the old structure and supposedly belonging to an even older, Norman church are built into the north and south walls. The font is a remarkable oblong structure of very early date. The basin is 2’1” by 1’10” at the top and 1’6” by 1’2” at the bottom and is 1’ deep. It still has the old cover and one of the staples through which the fastening was placed.

Ely Cathedral in Cambridgeshire, England, the seat of the Anglican Bishop of Ely. It is known locally as “the ship of the Fens”, because of its prominent shape that towers above the surrounding flat and watery landscape. The building is still in active use, and also houses a collection of stained glass from the 13th century to the present that is of national importance and includes works from notable contemporary artists like Ervin Bossanyi and others.
