The deal with 'He Who Shall Remain Namesless'
OK, I have to admit I'm a curious and nosy person. I'm also new to this forum. What's the deal with Him? In no way am I asking the Nameless to be named, I would just like to get some hints about the story behind Him
There was a thread explaining all of it here on the forum last year, Nik. He was a poster here who insisted upon adding the advertisement for his nursery to his signatures in his posts. Spike, who was the moderator of the forum under the previous owners, took him to task and demanded he remove the advertisement or pay to advertise his nursery. Spike's story was "Nameless" sent him death threats and had his "trolls" spam him. Spike banned him for life and to this day, even though the forums are under new ownership and Spike has moved on long ago, if you attempt to post "Nameless'" name, you are given one warning with the threat that if you continue, you will also be banned. It was a guaranteed way to get redirected to the Disneyland site. No kidding. I've tried it and the coding is still there. Kim
So Nik, how was Mickey Mouse today?
No, but it WOULD be nice if the whole "He Who Must . . . " sham could be abandoned. It's silly.
He Who Must was at the Celebration Of Old Roses, this past May, selling cheaply, or giving away,what I'm told were the last of the rose plants he had hanging around in pots.
Hopefully, that chapter is now closed.
Speaking of Elizabeth ( I had been trying to remember her last name for several weeks, wondering how she had progressed)
Here is a link that might be useful: the not-rosy side of her blog
I left here for a while because of all the brouhaha. I think it's silly to ban people from a public forum for any reason. It's up to the individual if they want to go to someone's blog or not and not the purview of a moderator. Unless something is out right spam we're all adults and are perfectly capable of deciding what we do or don't want to read. That goes for threads we don't like as well. If you open something you don't care for just stop reading it and close it!
All sorts of people got banned, mostly for very bad reasons such as Spike did not like their opinions. I can see banning people for unpaid commercial posts if you are trying finance the forums through advertising though. Spike owned the forums himself. While he offered the forums to the public to use subject to his rules, they were not publicly owned. I found him arbitrary and annoying, but they were, after all, his forums, not ours.
I was surprised to read about Elizabeth Churchill (Dr. Leda Horticulture). I loved her rose columns. I knew she had had an awful cancer but I thought she had not survived. I read her blog and saw at the end that she is now on Twitter. You have no idea how pleased I was to learn that!
Thank you Kim for posting THE STORY OF HE WHO SHALL NOT BE NAMED. I have wondered for years what the grave sin was that he had committed to be banned forever.
Jeri, the plants I bought from him at the Celebration were definitely NOT CHEAP!
He came in and told me proudly (this was early afternoon, I think) that he had sold his roses for $5., or given them away. It's fortunate that I was REALLY busy answering questions. I was, thus, not forced to really reply.
Well, that is all very nice, but many of the "vendors" who were present were selling as a fundraiser, to help them with real preservation efforts.
The fact that they were offering really well-raised plants, and for a good cause, did not help them compete with "$5. or Free."
Not that "He-Who" cared, but he really did some harm.
Spike was within reason to ban TL, but his trying to obliterate the NAME gives you some idea of how nuttily dictatorial Spike could be. He banned some wonderful posters for things like sending him a private email complaining about somebody else being banned, or talking back after being rebuked. He threatened me once for something or other.
Me, too.
I always suspected that "Spike" was the same person who "owned" a showdog Forum, in the early days. Their methods were so similar.
We finally all rebelled as a body -- all of us posting the banned names and words, and decamped to a previously-set-up substitute forum, which we named The Electric Kennel Club. IIRC, we left one or two people there to point the way to the new forum.
It was a lot of fun. :-)
MichaelG, I would agree with what you said.
Spike was within his rights to set the rules, but he was arbitrary and dictatorial about the way he enforced them.
I never quite forgave him for banning the member known as Cuz, a very sweet older gardener from somewhere in the rural Carolinas. He posted something patriotic one day and Spike banned him. Now I agree that Spike had the right to delete an off-topic post, and perhaps send Cuz a note saying that he needed to post only about roses, but I know that Cuz was devastated. I liked Cuz. He reminded me of some relatives of mine in that generation.
I think that was what irked most people, Rosefolly. He was so arbitrary about things and would take some wild notion into his head and that was that. You were banned! And for the most part they were all pretty innocent posts that did no harm what so ever to anyone. It got to a point where the forum began to feel tense and people were wary and on edge. That's when I drifted away for a while looking for a friendlier place.
I know we don't want a flood of off topic posts but really, there's no harm in someone occasionally sharing some thing else in their lives with the friends we've all made here. We are interested in each others lives and ups and downs and what's going on around us. I always enjoy when someone posts about a momentous event in their life or a picture of their beloved pet or even shares another plant in their garden. It makes us all closer.
OMG, Rosefolly - is that what happened to Cuz? I have always wondered. I must have missed anything about his being banned at the time because I was clueless about his disappearance. His posts could have been made into a collection of essays about human nature as well as old roses; they were wonderful. I thought perhaps he had passed away suddenly or something...
That Spike, darn him.
He also banned Malcolm for telling the funny story of alfalfa tea, neighbors almost having him arrested. Malcolm is now deceased and that was a big thorn in his side that he could no longer post on the roses forums that he loved so dearly, where he met many nice people who he went to the trouble to travel and to meet in person and was able to gather and share information. I was sent a warning once for some benign reason.
Seil, it's the real life stuff that makes a forum entertaining and those real life people give us encouragement. I recall paying a fee to post here (does anyone else recall? I think it was $15/year in the early days). He probably got rich off that alone.

I'm so glad I joined the forum in the post-Spike era. It must have felt like being in a straitjacket, having to watch what you posted at all times, not to mention the distress of seeing dear rose friends being arbitrarily kicked off the forum.
Not to diminish anyone else's experiences, Ingrid, but there were a few subjects you knew were taboo with Spike. I only ran afoul of any of those once and I sincerely questioned the wisdom behind it. Spike sent me a very thoughtful response explaining his reasoning behind his reaction. I had just a few exchanges with him over the years and found him more reasonable than he appeared. My impression was he was more than a bit stressed by running the forums and seemed increasingly irritated by being questioned. Once I got through that wall, he was a thoughtful, intelligent, sometimes quite funny gentleman. I don't know what became of him, but whereever he is, I wish him the best. Kim
You are a sweet man, Kim Rupert. I was going to post a crack like "sounds like Spike and TL deserved each other",but it's better to think of your comments than my smart-a thingie; I had nothing to do with either of these people, maybe didn't even have a computer during that time,and it's bad enough karma to go around judging people we know, let alone those we only "know" through hearsay. Thank you, Kim! bart

Dijon has tested positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), which is an immune system deficiency in cats. It can be harder for cats like him to fight off infection, but if he is given proper preventative care, he can live a long and healthy life. Adopting an FIV positive cat from Tree House comes with a lot of benefits. Our adoptions staff would be happy to provide you with more info about Dijon's condition. Otherwise, Dijon is one happy camper that would love a home to call his own.
Tree House was founded in 1971 and since that time we have expanded and enhanced our programs and services to become the largest, no-kill, cageless shelter for sick, injured, abused and neglected cats in the Chicagoland area. To date we have found homes for nearly 14,000 cats. In addition to our focus on the rehabilitation and adoption of stray cats, we offer many other valuable programs and services, including our Free Spay/Neuter Program, Pet Loss Grief Support Group, Humane Investigations Team, Youth Volunteer Program, Animal-Assisted Therapy, Behavior Hotline, Pet Food Pantry, and Education Outreach Program.
Saturday - Sunday: 12-6PM
Monday - Friday: 12-8PM
Note: Please allow at least an hour and half to complete the adoption process (application, interview, and tour). :-)
Your adoption fee of $85 covers the cost of your cat's care at Tree House including: spay or neuter, deworming, flea treatment, FIV and FeLV testing, AVID microchip, veterinary examination, and all necessary vaccinations. We also give a 30-day health guarantee on all of our adoptions.
* A photo I.D.
* A second I.D. with current address and phone number (we recommend a phone bill).
* If you rent, we need your landlord's name and phone number, or a copy of your lease stating that you are allowed to have cats.
* All children under 12 in the household are required to be present for the entire adoption process.

EXCITEMENT, rejoicing, happiness, but a tinge of sadness, too. That is the best way I can describe the atmosphere here on my return; and it strikes me that this would also do pretty well to describe the Journey of Life on which we are all embarked. Which is apt, because the said outpouring of emotion greeted the rite of passage that saw the Captain's tadpoles, assisted by their nanny, Victoria, make the mighty leap into full froghood and exchange their beautiful aquarium here at Canary Wharf for the delights of a pond in Snaresbrook owned by Victoria's Uncle Frank (see my exclusive picture below left). The sadness? Well, I have to report that one of them didn't quite make it. It was Brooklyn, the first to show. Some of you might affect to find another metaphor in the manner of his demise, which involved a stone and a photographer who was a little over-eager to record the transfer. The Perils of Celebrity. But Balham, Gwyneth and Branson, the one who arrived late, are all thriving, I'm glad to report. And Brooklyn is now at rest in the plant pot on our windowsill which also contains the remains of the pot plant which is all that remains of the last editor here, Ms Rosie Boycott. RIP, sic transit, dust to dust, hashish to hashish, circle of life, time to stop grieving and move on. Next!
BBRRNNGG! This sad reverie is interrupted by, yes, the telephone. And, on it, my man at the BBC, Bert. Bert's calls are always a bit testing, since he does rather tend to assume that I'm a little more up to speed on the inner workings of the Corporation than is, sadly, the case. This call proves to be no exception. "Captain! A really, really big one! Alice Beer has left Watchdog! Programme just not big enough for her and Annie!" I thank Bert with a fine show of enthusiasm, but, I have to say, I'm really none the wiser. Still, I suppose it must be important. Next!
SORTED! A new service in which the Captain gets down and gets action. Last week, for example, I received a call from my redoubtable political correspondent, Ms Una Tributable. Tense times at Westminster, Hague repositioning, Blair's war leadership under examination. "Captain," Ms Tributable told me, "I've been reading the complaints book in the Strangers' cafeteria on the Commons Terrace! And the vegetarians are not happy. 'The lettuce is limp' is just one comment. 'I've lost a stone since I arrived', comes from another hapless herbivore, while yet another writes, plaintively, that 'I can only eat chips'." Well! The Captain does not hang about. Quality of life is at steak (!) here. I immediately place a telephone call to Mr Dennis Turner, chairman of the Commons catering committee. Mr Turner, the Labour MP for Wolverhampton South East, is charm itself, inviting me to his special British pork promotion at the Commons. "Perhaps you'd like to come along and try some crackling," he offers. I accept with alacrity, and then recall the purpose of my call. It is the first Mr Turner has heard of the veggie plight. He promises to look into it forthwith. "I don't eat much lettuce myself," he says. "But we must make sure it's crisp!" Right. SORTED! Next week: the Captain turns his beam on to the pressing need for a hot drinks machine at Penrith Station. Have you got a grouch or a problem? Tell the Captain, and get it SORTED! Thank you.
STYLE Notes With The Captain. This week: disturbing news from Jermyn Street. The Captain's brother-in-law, a figure of some distinction in Antipodean circles, over here on a visit, reports that things are not what they were in the Street of Ten Thousand Shirts and Only Slightly Fewer Superior Counter Tenders: "Right down the dunny. All thick stripes in tart's colours, mate. No restraint. No sleeves longer than 35 inches, either, unless you've got a neck like a wombat's uncle. And black shirts! The shop across from Lewin's had one, black with white collar and cuffs. Stone me. I mean, mate, do I want to look like a cross between Al Jolson and a dodgy Sydney sky pilot?" Dear. Verb sap, chaps. Next, you will recall that, before I took my brief leave, I offered a tie someone had sent me for some reason to the first person who provided photographic evidence of a state of dress clearly requiring neckwear. And there it is (left). It's Mr Mickleburgh of Grimsby, dancing at, as you will have of course recognised, the Tower Ballroom, Blackpool. It has been specially doctored by Moonlight experts to spare Mr Mickleburgh the embarrassment of being recognised in his local supermarket. Oh, and Mr Mickleburgh: could you stop writing in for a while; people are beginning to talk. Next!
TREMENDOUS News! Dogged readers will know that the Captain is the nation's foremost chronicler of the rise of the wheelie bin to its present pivotal (!) position in the nation's life and culture. In the past I have paid particular attention to its penchant for trapping tripping pensioners and its popularity as a murder accessory, recently given classic benediction by the untimely death and disposal of poor Saskia on EastEnders. But now a real advance in the appearance sector. Yes, florally decorated full- colour self-adhesive vinyl sheets that you can stick on them and give that extra dimension to the garden! Three sorts, cottage garden, variegated ivy, and spiraea, only pounds 14.99 from Home Free, Preston. Get yours now! Elsewhere in the world of mail order, might I recommend the seven-and- a-half-inch tall dancing gorilla that really sings "La Macarena"? Yes, just pounds 7.99, from Bright Life. Hey ... Macarena!
HYPERVENTILATION warning: yes, it's time for my acclaimed Moonlight Miscellany, a finely crafted collection of snippets, gleanings and such. First, bad news for Otto Breck, 31, of Frankfurt, who died on his stag night when a stripper fell off a table and landed on him. Next, congratulations to Innovative Tooling Solutions, of Fife, who have won a Queen's Award for Industry for their work with controlled boring solutions. Next, Captain's diary note: to celebrate the centenary of the birth of its founder, Dr Minoru Shirota, Yakult, the milk drink company, are sponsoring the Digestive Disorders Foundation annual conference, "Bowel Bacteria - Friend and Foe", at the Royal College of Physicians on 8 July. Next, Moonlight Dictator Watch. And it's bad news from the Lookalikes Agency, which specialises in supplying celebrity doubles: "We had a Saddam Hussein on our books," says an agency spokeswoman, "but he wasn't very popular. In fact, he didn't get much work. Who would want a Saddam Hussein? It's not very funny, is it?" Indeed. Moonlight Fascinating Fact: the winter on Uranus is 84 times longer than that on Earth. Finally, very worrying news from the United States: David Baron, film critic for the Times-Picayune, has been sacked for writing that poor Gwyneth Paltrow's Oscar acceptance speech reminded him of "Ophelia's mad scene in King Lear". Sort of mistake anyone in a high-pressure job like ours could make. In a gesture of solidarity, I am offering David a job as this column's fact checker. Make your own jokes now. Actually, the Uranan winter may be only 83 times longer than here. Bye!
RIGHT, barman, mine's a Yorkshire Terrier! Hair of the dog, eh? Doquiris? Seriously, though, what will those boffins come up with next? No need to pop down to Battersea any more, simply open your packet of Rover Assorted and add to water! All right, all right, these are really the latest thing in spare loo roll covers. No? Actually, they're Buddy and Darika, of Bangkok, Siamese Yorkshire Terriers, claimed to be the world's lightest dogs, taking over from one called Big Boss. They are.

Great weekend away
The spruce cabin was exactly what we were looking for, for a nice weekend away from the city. Very nice and clean and extremely relaxing. Can't wait to go back.
Very Quiet and Relaxing!
This was a very quiet and relaxing place to stay. The property was clean and well stocked. We have 4 kids ranging in age from 5-14 and enjoyed every minute. It was far enough from other houses that you didn't have any noise, which is surprising considering that there is a busy highway only a short distance away. The only problem we had was that we have a large diesel truck and couldn't make the hairpin turns to get to it and into the driveway. We had to make several tries at it backing up and going forward again. But it could not be helped, and was definitely worth it! There is a nice little grocery store just a few minutes away. We also really enjoyed the hot tub. My kids all had a blast! We would definitely recommend it to anyone!

Dyslexiactic's forum posts
Updates are rolling! Just added part 3.5 where you can get a glimpse of how miserable we are at one of the game's hardest puzzles. The (very eventual) solution continues in part 4 which will come up on the weekend. Thanks again!
Hey All,
Just posting to know part 2 is up. A bit more tame, but only because this game ultimately has pixel-hunt portions. I've edited out the least useful bits. Thanks for anyone showing interest :B
@Inkerman: Thanks! I'm working on cutting out some chunks of boring pixel hunt, but the next episode should be up relatively soon!
I'm a Canadian in Scotland and me and my British flatmate are planning on ploughing through all of the Sherlock Holmes PC games. I've been hoping to accomplish such a feat since hearing the E3 bombcast in which Justin McElroy outlined his experiences with the Holmes games.
We've already finished the first game (Secret of the Mummy) but our recording rig was horrible and we might go back and revisit it now that we're up and running. I'll randomly post hour long episodes as we go (first episode going up to 720p, but other episodes will be up to 1080). We are solving these mysteries as blind runs, but I will start chopping out or speeding up any puzzling/pixel-hunting that is draining to watch.
I wanted to record all of our gaming for something to look back on, but why deprive the world of our stupidity. We should be updating pretty regularly right up until Christmas break.
I assume I should write somewhere that we (mostly me) swear and address topics including masturbating into a bucket.
Part 1!
Part 2--sorry for the weirdo artefacts! I have since solved the problem. Also, I cut out most of our BS that wasn't remotely funny
Part 3! The mystery continues. We're back to 720p but it looks much better. Also, no dumb artefacts. Also, we might be funny in this one. Also, oh god Carl whatareyoudoing? (e: Also also, bear with the letter reading at the start, we were worried people watching on lower quality couldn't read the in-game text [we barely could while playing!])
Part 3.5. A preview of how absolutely horrible we are at one of the game's hardest puzzles.
Hey all,
Fantastic! I actually liked the music, who is it?
Whenever the host mentions that Vinny is yelling in his ear.
Tonight (and likely again in the near future). I'll be trying to beat Spelunker HD on PSN. I'll likely start sometime after 9PM Eastern Standard Time, so if anyone's interested, my ID is Dyslexiactic.
Brap brap.

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Dell Inc, which intends to go private in a $24.4 billion deal led by founder and Chief Executive Michael Dell, plans to stick to its current turnaround strategy to diversify away from personal computers.
Dell Chief Financial Officer Brian Gladden told Reuters in an interview on Tuesday that the company can now pursue its strategy without being limited by the pressures of public ownership.
"Under a new private company structure, we will have time and flexibility to really pursue and realize the end-to-end solutions strategy," Gladden said. "We will be able to pursue organic and inorganic investment and we won't have the scrutiny and limitations associated with operating as a public company."
"So we are generally very, very encouraged by the future here," he added.
The company, once the world's top PC maker and a pioneer in computer supply chain management, is struggling to defend its market share against Asian rivals including Lenovo Group Ltd. It is trying to bolster growth by focusing on products and services to corporations.
Dell has also over the past couple of years given up low-margin sales to consumers and is moving into higher-margin areas, such as businesses in the public sector and the healthcare industry.
But the turnaround has been slow and painful. In November, Dell saw its fiscal third-quarter profit slide 47 percent, hurt by lower PC sales, weaker demand from large corporations and the shift to mobile computing.
Gladden acknowledged that the turnaround will take more time and investment, which the company plans to make as a private enterprise that will have less emphasis on quarter-to-quarter progress.
"Without having really the scrutiny that is associated with a publicly traded stock, we can make the necessary investment and stick to plan, in some cases be more aggressive than we can today," he said.
Rival PC makers were quick to dismiss Dell's move as disruptive, and one that will not be good for customers.
"Dell has a very tough road ahead," No. 1 PC maker Hewlett Packard said in a statement. "And with a significant debt load, Dell's ability to invest in new products and services will be extremely limited."
HP said leveraged buyouts tend to leave existing "customers and innovation at the curb" and HP plans to take full advantage of any disruption the move will cause among Dell's customer base.
Asian rival Lenovo said in a statement it was focused on products and customers "rather than distracting financial maneuvers and major strategic shifts."
Dell's founder and CEO, and private equity firm Silver Lake are paying $13.65 per share in cash for the buyout.
When asked if Dell plans to exit the PC business, Gladden said the board completed a review, and "this is where they ended up."

Carrie Underwood's 'Waiting All Day for Sunday Night' Headed to the Big Screen
Carrie Underwood is all set to be the voice of NFL Sunday nights with 'Waiting All Day for Sunday Night' and now that the song is landing her a spot on the big screen.
Carrie Underwood is all set to be the voice of NFL Sunday nights with 'Waiting All Day for Sunday Night' and now that the song is landing her a spot on the big screen.
Blake Shelton and Carrie Underwood are each looking at a prestigious honor outside of their usual realm -- they both have shows that have been nominated for Emmys!
Blake Shelton and Gwen Sebastian have a No. 1 hit together, but the affair rumors that have been circulating are just that: rumors. And Sebastian wants to set the record straight once and for all.
The top country song for July 2014 is hardly a summer song, but it's much too hot to rank any lower than No. 1. This love ballad is as sincere as they come; a song every man and woman can relate to on some level
Carrie Underwood, meet your most loyal fan! At Country Fest in Cadott, Wisc. over the weekend, Gage Stroening did all he could to see the Underwood -- and meet Randy Houser -- after being jolted by lightning and stepping on a red-hot hot plate. Following a brief seizure and visit to the emergency room, the Minnesota man was back at Country Fest.
Blake Shelton has some celebrating to do this week, as he just notched his twelfth consecutive No. 1 single!
Have two of country music's hottest newcomers called it quits?
Fans can't stop talking about Miranda Lambert's recent weight loss, and apparently, neither can celebrities. Pop star Britney Spears recently commended the country star's hard work, telling her she looks amazing -- and who can disagree?
Between judging The Voice, his high profile marriage, hit singles and height (6'5), one would think Blake Shelton is easily one of country music's most recognizable stars. But that's not the case, not in New York's Time Square; anyway.
Season 2 'The Voice' contestant RaeLynn had the privilege of being coached by country star Blake Shelton on the singing competition show. And with the perks that come from a personal relationship with the star, it also means she needs to call him on his birthday -- or else ...
Miranda Lambert isn't a woman you want to disrespect, which is something the frontman of a certain Canadian rock band may have learned the hard way.
Miranda Lambert's slim new figure has everyone talking lately -- including the singer herself. Blake Shelton's wife admits she tries to work out (well, sorta), eats a few veggies (fully loaded, of course) and lets herself indulge when she wants.

Language mix !
Favorite thing: The restaurants advertise in a language that is mainly Albanese but that mixes Italian, and Serbian. It is not always easy to understand. For example, on the photo, you can read the following meals :
Supë, Albanian for soup
Gullash does not need any explanation, neither spaghetti and pizza, nor biftek and ramstek
Speca të mbushura, Albanian for Serb punjene paprike or stuffed paprika,
Peschk, Albanian for fish (pesce in Italian)
Qebapa, pleskavicë, are Albanian writing of kebab and pljeskavica
Pule, Albanian for chicken (poulet in French)
Gjelë të gatshme, Albanian for prepared (?) cock
Pasul, I did not know what it was.
Aurorae sent me the following note (and corrections on some Serbian words mispelled). Unfortunately, I cannot spell correctly the letters that have a diacritic sign :
Pasul is probably pasulj, beans. It's a veeeeeery popular dish in Serbia/ex-Yu, mostly famous for the army service days and often it's called vojniâki pasulj - soldiers beans. It is easy to prepare and very nutritive, and extremely cheap, so it's understandable why it is cooked in huge masses in the army service. Also, people often cook it when they go camping. and funny thing is, the longer it stays, the better it is !!! Unlike the other food!
Kebab = cevapi / cevapaici (you also have to note that this is very different from the turkish döner kebab, which is almost identical to greek gyros - meat grilled on the huge stick and rotated, then served cut in pieces with fries, tomato, onions and mayonnaise or other sauce maybe. cevapi or cevapjici are small rolls of meat in the shape of the finger, but a bit more fat :-) grilled on coal. Bosnia and Leskovac area in Serbia (Leskovacki roztilj - leskovac grill/bbq) is the most famous for cevapi.
Thanks a lot Aurorae !
- Architecture
Quiet bathing ?
Favorite thing: For those who want to bathe in a quieter place than the crowded city "small beach" (mala plaža) and that do not want to go to the "large beach" (velika plaža), outside (south) to the city can go on the steep slopes of Suka peninsula (Cap Ratislava).
Busy city center
Favorite thing: This picture shows Ulaz 26 Novembar (26 November street), the street that connects the upper new town (Bulevar Maršala Tita) and the beach. This picture was taken almost halfway. This is busy place with a lot of pedestrians and luckily not too much car traffic, at least when we were there, may be this is not true all the time !
- Architecture
Namazdah mosque
Favorite thing: Namazdah mosque stands in the upper part of Ulaz 26 Novembar, almost on Bulevar Marsala Tita, at the junction with the newest part of Ulcinj/Ulqin. Besides its name, I have been unable to find any information on this mosque. After a lot of research, I have finally found that it was built in 1828 by Sulejman Mujali.
I have also found that the Main Mosque was built in 1728 and the Mountain Mosque in 1783 but have not identified them ! Next time !
Aurorae wrote me that the Main Mosque was actually Namazdeh Mosque. Thank you Jelena !
- Architecture
Pasha mosque
Favorite thing: Right by the side of the ruined church, stands Pasha mosque, built in 1719 by Klič Alija of Montenegro. In the background, the clock tower. I have read on several documents "the famous clock tower" but none of them said why it was famous !
"An especially impressive structure is the Clock Tower, built in 1754"
- Architecture
- Religious Travel
Pasha mosque, the entrance
Favorite thing: On top of the entrance into Pasha Mosque, a verse of the Koran that prides the glory of Allah has been painted in Arabic scripture. I will try to get its translation from someone that is skilled in Arab. A double moon crescent has been painted in blue. Neither the color nor the double feature is usual.
- Architecture
Unidentified monument
Favorite thing: This picture was taken from the road that runs on Suka, southeast to the city. It shows the amphitheater in which the city is built and in the middle an unidentified monument made of a pyramid standing on its head. Next time, I will have to reach it in order to identify it.
- Architecture
Panoramic on the bay
Favorite thing: This is not another photo as actually, I have put together the two previous ones as I felt it allowed better to understand how the city of Ulcinj lies between two capes Punta e Nuradinit, with the old city and Suka, from where this picture was taken.
- Architecture
A city with a luxuriant Mediterranean vegetatio
Favorite thing: This picture was taken from the city center, the street that connects the upper new town (Bulevar Marsala Tita or whatever it is called) and the beach. It follows the bottom of a valley and both slopes are covered with houses buried in a luxuriant Mediterranean vegetation.
- Architecture
Chapel and cemetery
Favorite thing: On the slopes of the Southern hill, close to the city center, a pale yellow chapel stands in the middle of a small cemetery lined with newly planted cupressus. In this district, the houses are not in as good conditions as in other districts of Ulcinj.
- Architecture
Ruin of a church
Favorite thing: This ruin lies along the street that connects Ulaz 26 Novembar to the inland entrance into the old city. It seems that it has been destroyed and abandoned a long time ago, perhaps 1878, when the Montenegrin artillery has heavily damaged the city.
- Architecture
Pasha mosque, the ablution room
Favorite thing: On the right to the entrance into Pasha mosque, a little square room is the ablution room. Believers must clean themselves (feet, hands and face) before entering the mosque in order to be clean when the meet Allah. Ablutions are a ritual.
- Architecture
- Religious Travel
Close up on the Pulti mausoleum
Favorite thing: The Pulti mausoleum bears a carved stone with "Pulti A. Muhamed" carved in Latin script while there is a much longer script in Arabic script. I will try to get the translation of this too.On top of the stone, the moon crescent with a star between its extremities.
- Religious Travel
- Architecture
Not so quiet bathing !
Favorite thing: Actually, even this steep sea shore is crowded ! Not so much that the city beach but nevertheless, would be bathers must queue to go down into the sea and lust queue to go on the small pier. That won't last, this is the peak season !
Long beach
Favorite thing: It is very windy on the long beach,so you can surfing with parachutes.
The beach is convenienced for little kids,becouse you can go far away before you get into deep water.Water is clean,with sand and shells.
Fondest memory: I feel free there.
