Bottles Beverage Superstore carries a superior selection of spirits including, and definitely not limited to Hennessy Cognac, a French brandy. IMPORTANT NOTE: These cigars have been kept sealed in their original packaging, but have not been stored in a humidor. Although the quality cannot be guaranteed, we hope you will still bid ambitiously for the chance to win what could be cigars in perfect condition. 103 Joint Ventures Jewelry Art Deco Vintage Sterling Unique 1940s/1950s era vintage sterling silver pin in bold grape leaf motif.

There are no cancellations or alternate dates available. This is a Auldbrass Plantation highly popular experience that is only open to the public on a limited basis. Tour Frank Lloyd Wright's, Auldbrass Plantation, located in Beaufort County, South Carolina, near the town of Yemassee. A true architectural treasure, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it is nestled in the backwoods of the South Carolina Lowcountry and is the only Southern Plantation designed by legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Wright designed Auldbrass to exist in harmony with the Lowcountry landscape of which it is a part. Situated among tall oaks dripping with Spanish moss on the edge of a lush cypress swamp, this low-lying complex of eccentric pavilions, animal enclosures and out buildings demonstrates how Wright could design architecture to suit any environment. He incorporated decorative motifs inspired by local flora into the design of the buildings.The abstract forms of ornamental rain spouts suggest hanging clusters of Spanish moss. Shades of rust and brown create a rustic effect at Auldbrass. Even the curbs of the paved paths that wind through the property are painted a rich rust color.Informal, rustic and rambling, the main house feels like a Frank Lloyd Wright hunting lodge. 107 Fleet Landing, Historic Downtown Dinner and This item includes a gift certificate valued at $450 at Fleet Landing and six tickets to tour the Aiken Rhett House and Nathanial Russell House. Charleston Foundation Outing for Six Bring some friends along for a fun outing on the penninsula. Visit the historic homes managed by the Historic Charleston Foundation, the Aiken Rhett House and the Nathaniel Russell House and then enjoy dinner at Fleet Landing, considered Charleston’s best waterfront restaurant. Housed in a 1940s retired naval building on the east side of the Charleston peninsula, Fleet Landing Restaurant features classic and contemporary Southern seafood fare in a setting that celebrates the area’s waterfront heritage. The Aiken-Rhett House Museum, c.1820, is located at 48 Elizabeth Street, Charleston, SC. If the walls of this vast house and outbuildings could talk, they would tell you a compelling tale of urban life in antebellum Charleston through the eyes of several generations of the prominent Aiken family and the enslaved people who maintained their property and way of life. A “preserved as found” approach to the property’s conservation allows visitors to discover interiors unaltered since the mid-19th century. A National Historic Landmark, the Nathaniel Russell House Museum was built over a five-year period and completed in 1808 by Charleston merchant Nathaniel Russell. The house cost $80,000 to build, at a time when the average value of a home was $262. The home’s graceful, free-flying, three-story staircase is an architectural marvel with each cantilevered step supporting the one above and below it. The graceful interiors with elaborate plasterwork ornamentation, geometrically shaped rooms, formal gardens and collection of 18th-century decorative and fine art speak to the wealth of Charleston’s elite in the early days of the American Republic. 2 Silent Auction Preview 108 Coastal Expeditions Bulls Island Ferry Passes This item includes five passes on the Bulls Island Ferry with a knowledgeable private hiking guide to show you around the island. with Private Hiking Guide for Five Come explore the longest stretch of continuously protected coastline on the east coast.

    The Artist Alive: Explorations in Music, Art & Theology, by Christopher Pramuk (Winona, MN: Anselm Academic, 2019). Copyright © 2019 by Christopher Pramuk. All rights reserved. www.anselmacademic.org. Introduction Seeds of Awareness This book is inspired by an undergraduate course called “Music, Art, and Theology,” one of the most popular classes I teach and probably the course I’ve most enjoyed teaching. The reasons for this may be as straightforward as they are worthy of lament. In an era when study of the arts has become a practical afterthought, a “luxury” squeezed out of tight education budgets and shrinking liberal arts curricula, people intuitively yearn for spaces where they can explore together the landscape of the human heart opened up by music and, more generally, the arts. All kinds of people are attracted to the arts, but I have found that young adults especially, seeking something deeper and more worthy of their questions than what they find in highly quantitative and STEM-oriented curricula, are drawn into the horizon of the ineffable where the arts take us. Across some twenty-five years in the classroom, over and over again it has been my experience that young people of diverse religious, racial, and economic backgrounds, when given the opportunity, are eager to plumb the wellsprings of spirit where art commingles with the divine-human drama of faith. From my childhood to the present day, my own spirituality1 or way of being in the world has been profoundly shaped by music, not least its capacity to carry me beyond myself and into communion with the mysterious, transcendent dimension of reality.

  • Paul Mccartney, 1980-1999

    Paul Mccartney, 1980-1999

    Paul McCartney from Wings through the 90's McCartney II Columbia FC‐36511 May 21, 1980 About ten years after recording McCartney by himself, Paul got several songs together and recorded them‐‐again alone‐‐on somewhat of a lark. Then Paul embarked on his ill‐fated 1980 tour of Japan (which resulted in his being jailed for drug possession). After returning to the safety of his own home, he was urged to release the album, and he did. The album contrasts well with McCartney, for this second production contains numerous instruments and electronic tricks that were not present on the 1970 release. Side One is particularly interesting. The solo version of "Coming Up" is followed by the fun track, "Temporary Secretary" (released as a single in England). The almost‐lament, "On the Way," is then succeeded by "Waterfalls," Paul's second (US) single from the album. "Bogey Music," from Side Two, is also a standout. John Lennon heard a song from McCartney II and thought that Paul sounded sad. When the album was released in the US, a bonus one‐sided single ‐‐ the hit version of "Coming Up"‐‐was included with the LP. This hit was enough to propel the album to the #3 position on the charts, during a time when disco was now on the wane. "Waterfalls" Columbia 1‐11335 Jul. 22, 1980 The lovely ballad about protectiveness was one of the standouts from McCartney II. After "Coming Up," it received the most airplay and the most positive response from Paul's friends. As a single, though, the song fared poorly, only reaching #83...one of Paul's worst showings to date.

Hudgins, Committee Chair Frances Ford Ralph Muldrow Elizabeth Ryan ABSTRACT Over one million visitors per year traverse the visitor path through George Washington’s home at Mount Vernon. Increased visitation has tested the limits of the architectural materials and created the single most threatening source of degradation. While the history of Mount Vernon is dotted with attempts to mitigate damage caused by visitors, scientific analysis of the dynamic impacts to the historic fabric is needed to preserve the integrity of the preeminent national house museum. The following thesis presents a holistic analysis of visitor impact and material degradation occurring at Mount Vernon.
