Windham woman killed in two-car crash in JamaicaJanuary 30,2013Windham woman killed in two-car crash
JAMAICA Police identified a 20-year-old Windham woman was killed on Monday in a two-car crash on Route 30 in Jamaica.
According to State Trooper James Matthews, Tressa McKinney was traveling south when she lost control of her car and skidded across the roadway. Matthews said McKinneys car crossed the yellow lines and collided with northbound traveller Gavin Scotti, 48, of Greenwich, Conn.
McKinneys car ignited after the crash and she was pronounced dead at the scene, Matthews said. Scotti and his passenger were transported to Grace Cottage Hospital in Townshend for minor injuries.
The Jamaica and Londonderry fire departments, Londonderry Rescue and Winhall Police assisted at the scene.

"Hello Summoners,
Stefan, aka Riot Cochese here. For those of you who dont know me, Im a live producer charged with maintaining the health of the League of Legends live services in NA. As you know, the 3.5 deploy last week was a bit rough, lasting over 12 hours, and not something we intended to put you all through.
Here is what happened:
We proactively pushed a new map, Howling Abyss, to the PBE early in order to get more coverage and testing before we rolled it out to live. This is something new that we are working on process wise, and we published this map in an iterative state, well before it was finished. When we rolled the 3.5 deploy out to live a queue for this map was left in, which caused crashes when selected by players due to the map not actually being there. We had the right intentions, but we obviously found a hole in our new roll-out process that well be correcting immediately.
Long-term improvement of our deploy times and quality continues to be one of our primary goals. Clearly we missed the boat with 3.5, and this is something we will continue improving upon.
In light of this extended downtime, we will be compensating you with a 4 Win IP boost. To ensure we dont miss anybody, well be providing the boost to anyone who has logged in within the past 30 days. Weve already begun to roll this out, so you should see your boost within the next few days. I know that this doesnt make what happened right, but I promise we will get better.
Thank you,
Riot Cochese"
''Hey all,
Several issues have impacted our live service over the last few weeks. This has been frustrating for us, and also resulted in a frustrating experience for you.
Long-term improvement of our deploy times and quality continues to be a primary goal. Clearly we missed the boat recently. For this reason, we will be compensating players with a 4 Win IP boost. This will be provided to anyone who has logged in within the past 30 days.
With patch 3.5 we encountered some major issues on our European platforms. We play too and feel the downtime and problems like you do. That doesn't set things right, but your frustration is our frustration and we want to be certain that we fixed these issues before talking about compensation.
Also, we want to apologise for not messaging this to you at the same time as messaging went out in NA. We wanted to get EU messaging out during normal hours, but reaction to the delay shows that we should rethink this approach.
Our platforms are independent, but our community is globally connected. While we are aware of this it's easy to underestimate just how many of you guys are here throughout the night.
One thing we should never underestimate is how passionate European players are; we want to make certain that you're in the loop and have an understanding of what is happening so you don't hear it second hand. We don't want this to be just words and so we may be quiet at times as we take action, but your feedback always informs what we do."

inspired by nautical craftsmanship and folk art, the designers at Studio Swine went in search of plastic in the ocean for their Gyrecraft project – and found a lot to choose from. sailing 1000 nautical miles from the Azores to the Canary Islands, they passed through through the North Atlantic Gyre: one of five points on the planet where swirling megacurrents concentrate vast quantities of floating debris, including plastic
"it's one of the biggest problems facing our civilisation," says Studio Swine's Alex Groves, "plastic is in every part of the ocean and the effect it's having on plankton is only just beginning to be investigated. plankton are the base of the entire planet's food chain, and they are responsible for producing one third of the oxygen we breath. if we lose plankton we are headed for another mass extinction. in the swirling gyre, most of the plastics have broken down into tiny fragments which are spread over massive stretches of the ocean. due to their size, they are incredibly difficult to recover in any large quantity – making this once disposable material very precious"

Best Craigslist Car Ad Of All Time
When selling a used car, it's important to point out the finer points of the automobile. It's key to make the prospective buyer know that this is the car for them, and almost make them feel like they NEED to buy this car. I've never seen an ad do a better job of that, than this ad for a Teal 95 Pontiac Grand Am.

House Flow
60-90 minutes (see schedule for class lengths)
This is our classic, open-level Vinyasa Flow class. In it, we honor the infinite possibility inherent in each breath as we move through an asana practice that is equal parts challenging and sweet. Asana practice becomes a transformational and healing experience when it is intimately tied to breath-work. Although the class is physically rigorous, we offer modifications to accommodate your level of experience.
Ashtanga Primary Series
90 minutes
This class is dedicated to the sacred practice of Ashtanga Yoga. We will do the Primary Series, or Yoga Chikitsa, at each class. All levels welcome, even those who have never experienced Ashtanga before. Read more about this style of yoga here.

All proceeds benefit Family of Woodstock's Family Inn of Kingston, a program that provides shelter and a variety of services for the children of Ulster County area families in need.
Core Vinyasa Flow
90 minutes
As the foundation to all else in yoga asanas, core strength makes not just poses but daily life feel easier. With flowing Vinyasa sequences, this class incorporates core-strengthening transitions and postures that target your abdominals, obliques, spine, pelvic floor and shoulder girdle. And, as important as strengthening the core muscles, we'll also practice melty postures to ease those same muscles groups. You'll find you'll stand taller, feel stronger, and exude confidence. The class is fun and challenging, but we encourage you to take a pace that suits your body's needs.
Flying Flow
90 minutes
A challenging Vinyasa Flow class that incorporates inversions and arm balances throughout. Expect a strong flow, some wall work, and partner play.

Students have reported feeler better, lighter, and younger after beginning a weekly gentle yoga regimen.

Monday Night Chant Sessions
30 minutes
Each week, we'll explore with the use of music and the vibration of our voices with traditional chants and mantras and the accompaniment of the harmonium as an extension of meditation and of connection to our practice.

Restorative Yoga
60 minutes
This class provides a peaceful atmosphere to allow the body, mind, and spirit to rejuvenate itself. Props (blankets and blocks) are used to prevent stress on the body. The mind finds space through the breath to be open to new ideas and patterns. Balancing the body and mind through the breath allows the nervous system to relax and the immune system to function better. When you leave a class you will feel at ease physically and emotionally.
Tandem Yoga
90 minutes
Tandem Yoga is a style of partner yoga consisting of a base, a flyer, and a spotter. Combining elements of yoga, acrobatics, and Thai yoga massage, it offers a playful way to connect with fellow community members. This self-guided class is open to all. An instructor will be available to provide guidance and assists.
Yin Yoga
Any complete yoga practice is comprised of both yin and yang elements. On the one hand, we want to strengthen and lengthen at the muscular level. This is the yang side of our practice. On the other hand, we want to gain access to deep connective tissue — our ligaments, tendons, and fascia — in order to open up channels for the free flow of life force, or prana. This is the yin side of our practice, and its meditative quality fosters the development of patience, ease, and calm. In this class, we hold seated and supine poses for about five minutes each. During this time, the teacher will offer alignment instructions and refinement cues, followed by a brief reading or poem, and then we will spend about two minutes in sweet silence during which time each practitioner is encouraged to find his or her own comfort on the mat. Suitable for all levels including very beginner.

Jun Jia, left, and Jack Howatt enjoy a beverage at Chesapeake apartments in Charlottetown. Jia is taking part in a newcomers program where he chats with seniors to practise his English
Jun Jia has had some challenges learning the English language since moving to Prince Edward Island from China in 2014.
Jia says he is "so-so" when it comes to reading, writing and speaking — it's the listening aspect that has been proven to be difficult.
"There are so many new words for me," said Jia. "If in one sentence, I don't know one word or two words, it's OK, but if there is so many new words in one sentence, I don't understand."
Working on his listening skills will improve as he takes part in a program where he practises his English while speaking with seniors.
Jia was one of the newcomers who was at Chesapeake apartments in Charlottetown March 3 chatting with seniors at the facility as part of a weekly hour-long program.
Approximately 15 seniors and 25 students were taking part that day in the program organized by the Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada (LINC) at Holland College so newcomers have a chance to speak with people in the "real world" instead of a classroom environment.
"These real world skills are what we are teaching them in class, so any opportunity we have to actually get them out into the community, so they can apply them, it just gives them another chance to develop or perfect those skills," said Matt Thomson, a teacher with LINC.
So far, the program has created a buzz at Chesapeake and in the halls at Holland College, said Thomson.
"We are really hearing what we hoped to hear, which is that it's a symbiotic relationship — both sides are getting a lot out of the experience."
Thomson said seniors are interested in the histories, cultures and personalities of the newcomers.
"They realize that they are a vital part of our provincial community and that they are essential in the growth of our population."
The students spent the morning preparing questions to ask seniors and discussed levels of formality and appropriateness of topics.
"They are really interested in those cultural aspects," said Thomson. "Everything from , 'Are you from the Island originally?' to 'What do you do in your free time?' to 'What kind of work did you do?'. And you see that coming from both sides."
Jia was interested in knowing if there is long wait list for people to move into the Chesapeake apartments. In Beijing, his 74-year-old mother applied to live in a senior apartment seven years ago. She is still waiting.
"No one told her how long she would wait," said Jia. "Sometimes, it's 10 years to move into a senior apartment because there are so many senior people in Beijing."
Thomson said the students are enthusiastic to speak with people in the community.
"They need this experience so that when they get out there, they feel more confident and more comfortable."

According to the Orlando Sentinel, a 42-year-old Florida man was arrested Thursday on attempted murder charges for allegedly attempting to set his wife on fire with cooking oil.
According to the Sentinel story, police said the man allegedly poured a bottle of cooking oil under the door of the bathroom where the woman was hiding and ignited it with a lighter. The man is facing additional charges because the couple's three children were home at the time of the incident, according to the Sentinel story.

A woman at the Knit'n'Cafe yesterday was engrossed in hyperbolic crochet in magenta-coloured fibre - it was great to see this 'for real'. Very organic; I understand this translates into the process as well, which is exciting. Thanks for this post and the link. Has anyone (yet) knit an impossible triangle.

Croatia striker Mario Mandzukic is on the verge of joining Atletico Madrid from Bayern Munich, the German club have announced.
Bayern sporting director Matthias Sammer revealed during a press conference held on Wednesday that a deal had been reached between the two clubs and the player, with an official announcement believed to be imminent.
"There is a verbal agreement between Bayern, Atletico Madrid and Mario Mandzukic," said Sammer.
"We wish to thank Mario for his performances at Bayern and wish him all the best in the future."
Reports emerged in the German press on Wednesday that the Bundesliga and Primera Division champions had reached a deal for the 28-year-old which is believed to be worth 22 million euros (£18.5m).
Mandzukic scored 33 league goals for Bayern in the two seasons that followed his transfer to the Bavarian giants from Wolfsburg in 2012.
Although his goals helped the club win an unprecedented European and domestic treble in 2013 and a double last season, the Croatian has been deemed surplus to requirements at Bayern.

The Premier League transfer targets on show at the World Cup
1/14 Edinson Cavani
Another striker linked with Chelsea as they look to bolster their front line, the Uruguayan may have only joined PSG last summer but that hasn't stopped the rumours about him moving from flying around. They will only increase if he impresses at the World Cup in Brazil where he will be coming up against England in the group stages.
2/14 Toni Kroos
One player who's been creating transfer rumours for a while is Toni Kroos. The German has been linked with a move to Manchester United as his contract talks with Bayern Munich stall. Whether Kroos is simply exploiting United's need for midfield reinforcements simply to improve his Bayern contract remains to be seen. His superb goals against Arsenal at the Emirates the last two years running have offered an indication to his ability but he'll be able to strengthen his reputation with a good World Cup with Germany.
3/14 Paul Pogba
Pogba may have already played for Manchester United but the Frenchman was allowed to leave before he could make much of an impression in the Premier League. Having played just three times in the English top-flight the 21-year-old could be set for a glorious return having been linked with his old club and various others. Over the last two seasons with Juventus he's been hugely impressive and looks set to be given an opportunity to drive France through to the latter stages in Brazil.
4/14 Fabio Coentrao
The Portuguese left-back nearly joined Manchester United in January and with the Premier League bracing itself for a flurry of activity in that particular position, Coentrao could be one man in line for a move. He might have played in the Champions League final but he managed just 10 league appearances with Real Madrid, leading to claims he will move on. Despite being marginalised by his club, Coentrao will play a major role as Portugal try to negotiate their group of death with Germany, Ghana and the United States.

5/14 Mario Balotelli
Why always linked with transfers? For one reason or another, Super Mario is one man constantly in the transfer spotlight with a potential reuniting with former boss Jose Mourinho at Chelsea being mooted by some while other reports suggesting he has been offered to Arsenal for £30m. The AC Milan striker will be in action against England in Group D.
6/14 Arturo Vidal
The self-styled 'best in the world' in his role, has had a great season with Juventus and consequently finds himself in the sights of Manchester United according to reports. A good World Cup with Chile will only boost the likelihood of some offers.
7/14 Iker Casillas
Synonymous with Real Madrid for so long, Casillas fell out of favour with first Jose Mourinho and now Carlo Ancelotti and a summer move could be on the cards. Having captained Spain to three tournament successes players don't come with much bigger reputations. Arsenal are reportedly interested in finding a new number one.
8/14 Eliaquim Mangala
It seems like almost every top European club is looking to reinforce the centre of its defence at the moment and consequently Eliaquim Mangala could be in high demand. The Porto centre-back will see his value go up even further if he gets the chance to impress with France. The 23-year-old reportedly favours a move to Manchester United or Chelsea over Manchester City.

9/14 Julian Draxler
Julian Draxler has featured heavily in recent transfer windows and looks set to do so again this summer with Arsenal once again linked with the German star. The Germany international has signalled he's open to a move away from Schalke.
10/14 Jackson Martinez
Porto's Colombian striker is seemingly always mentioned in transfer gossip pages and this summer looks set to be no different. With Radamel Falcao missing the World Cup, this tournament could be Martinez's chance to really show himself off on the world stage.
11/14 William Carvalho
Another player plying his trade in Portugal that is causing a bit of a stir. The 21-year-old is at Sporting Lisbon for the moment but a bumper offer could see him on his way. Fees in the region of £37m have been mooted for the defensive midfielder, with Manchester United one of those reportedly ready to stump up the cash. Set to play a big role for Portugal this summer.
12/14 Andy Najar
Honduras will be mostly remembered for trying to kick lumps out of England, but during that warm-up match Najar caught the eye. A few more decent games at the World Cup and speculation over the 21-year-old midfielder's future will increase. Anderlecht won't be keen to let him go however.
13/14 Lorenzo Insigne
The Napoli forward has found himself heavily linked with a move to Arsenal in recent weeks. But before then he's got a World Cup to deal with. Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has scoffed at talk of a deal in the region of £18m and says he would want triple that. A good tournament with Italy for Insigne and he might just get his wish.
14/14 Vincent Aboubakar
There's more to Cameroon than just Samuel Eto'o and in the shape of Aboubakar there might just be another Indomitable Lion heading for the Premier League. The 22-year-old, who currently plays for Ligue 1 side Lorient, has been tipped as one to watch and a good tournament could have a few English clubs making inquiries.
Poland striker Robert Lewandowski, the Bundesliga's top scorer last term, is set to lead the attack next season after joining from Borussia Dortmund.
Mandzukic would be Atletico's most expensive signing since Radamel Falcao moved to the club from Porto in 2011 and his task will be filling the void left by Diego Costa - Atletico's top scorer last season - who is joining Chelsea.
Atletico are expected to make another move for a striker in the summer to replace New York City FC-bound David Villa, and are believed to be interested in taking Chelsea forward Romelu Lukaku on loan.
However, their signing of Mandzukic means that they are expected to end their pursuit of Manchester City forward Alvaro Negredo, who is valued at over £25m.

This book reminds me of truths told in the game "Truth or Dare!" Writers share the stupidest things they did as kids, and these true stories are FUNNY! Some of these stories have been kept secret by the writers for fifty years or more and are finally being released FOR ALL TO READ! After that long, they have surely passed the Statue of Limitations on spankings or jail time!

It is almost amusing that anyone doubts the credibility of your translations. The documents you are translating are on the public record. You didn't write them. And you certainly aren't the only person capable of translating Arabic to English. You just happen to be the only person who is willing to go the extra mile (and then some) to reveal the truth. The fact that the mainstream media, with all its resources and capability, won't do what you are doing speaks volumes. You are a true American hero and represent the best of why the MSM is dying and sites like FreeRepublic are thriving. We are all in your debt.
Couldn't have said it better myself!
However, now that the information is established, we can certainly work to shove it down the Lamestream Media's throat until they do acknowledge it.
Seems like Tony Snow, Mark Levin and Brit Hume may be able to help kickstart this effort; they're not blinkered media folks.
I, for one, would absolutely love to watch Perky Katie be cornered into reporting this; her scowl would be reason enough for me to watch the See,BS! Evening Snooz for the first time since the Challenger blew up.
Well stated. I second your thought.
No one actually doubts the credibility of his translations. They know the translations are accurate. They're simply lying. It's what they do.
My sentiments as well.

FOIA may face changes: Proposed bill would give exemption to concealed weapons carriers
CHARLESTON – Currently in West Virginia, the names and addresses of concealed weapons licensees is public information. But a bill introduced to the House of Delegates on Tuesday could change that.
HB2911 proposes to exempt from the Freedom of Information Act records pertaining to the issuance, renewal, expiration, suspension or revocation of a license to carry a concealed weapon, according to the legislation.
Delegate Mike Folk, R-Berkeley, who is the bill's lead sponsor, said he wrote the legislation in response to a New York newspaper's decision to publish the names and addresses of area gun owners last year. The newspaper obtained the information by way of New York's Freedom of Information Law requests, according to media reports.
"This (bill) prevents the state from releasing personal information," Folk said in regard to concealed weapons licensees.
Eastern Panhandle delegates echoed Folk's opinion that concealed weapons licenses are personal information and should be kept private.
"I believe that lawful gun owners have a right to privacy," said Delegate Eric Householder, R-Berkeley. "I don't want the newspaper to be reporting that, 'Hey, this neighbor has a gun.'"
Robert Freeman, executive director of New York's Committee on Open Government, said it is important to consider the need for licenses when discussing legislation such as HB2911.
"Historically, a license, in my opinion, has been intended to tell the world that an individual is qualified to engage in an act," Freeman said, whether it be driving a car or handling a firearm. "The names and the addresses indicate that people have gotten their licenses and complied with law."
An individual's address can be found in a variety of places, such as voter registries. While voters in West Virginia can request address confidentiality, that information is a matter of public record, according to the West Virginia Secretary of State's website.
Freeman pointed out that these inconsistencies in law don't allow for complete confidentiality of the kind of information HB2911 would conceal.
"Shutting down information in one context does not necessarily mean that the same information will be shielded in another," Freeman said.
Media outlets frequently use FOIA in order to obtain documents from a variety of sources for use in reporting. Don Smith, executive director of the West Virginia Press Association, said FOIA is important to journalists.
"The No. 1 thing that we're concerned about is open government and having that information out there," Smith said. "Every time that an exemption is granted, it's one less area that the public can monitor its government and look out for its own interests."
When asked about the limits HB2911 might place upon the First Amendment, Delegate Larry D. Kump, R-Berkeley, said it was not his main concern.
"The right of personal privacy trumps the First Amendment," Kump said.
Lawmakers cited an individual's right to privacy as their concern when it comes to implementing laws like HB2911.
"We all have a right to our privacy, as with medical records or any other constitutional right," said Delegate Larry Faircloth, R-Berkeley, describing the law as "common sense."
Smith said medical records and concealed weapons permits are not comparable.
"You have to apply for these (licenses)," Smith said. "This is asking for a special right. I see no reason why that should be exempt."
New York recently enacted a law that would not exempt gun owner information from FOIA laws, but rather allow licensees to opt out of disclosure, Freeman said.
"State police have developed forms where licensees can check off a box," Freeman said. "For any number of reasons offered, the individual can preclude disclosure of his or her name and address."
There is one exemption included in HB2911. If passed, the legislation would allow information related to concealed weapons licenses to be obtained by law enforcement in the event of a criminal investigation, Faircloth said.
"(The licensee has) given up that right as a law-abiding citizen, and under the court system, information needs to be revealed as part of due process," Faircloth said.
While legislators said they see this bill as preventative, Freeman said he feels much legislation can be made as an emotional response to events, such as the shooting in Newtown, Conn., where 26 people, including 20, children were killed. Freeman said legislation can have unintended consequences when people fail to abide by what he called the "Aretha Franklin principle."
"You better think," Freeman said. "When an emotional issue arises, it is not atypical for emotions to take over that result in an absence to consider the ramifications."

Earliest evidence of lead mining at Cwmystwyth
Lead mining tradition of Central Wales goes back 4,000 years to the Bronze Age
Traces of Britain's earliest known lead extraction have been found at the Bronze Age mine site on Copa Hill, Cwmystwyth, in mid-Wales. The site has also produced evidence that may explain why the mine was abandoned, and a wealth of Bronze Age mining equipment including several lengths of well-preserved wooden 'launder', or drainage guttering.
Radiocarbon dates suggest the site was mined for copper sporadically for up to 600 years, starting about 2000 BC. Recent excavations by Simon Timberlake of the Early Mines Research Group have also found signs that lead veins were worked in the latter years of the mine's operation. In one place a stone chisel was found wedged across a lead vein, while quantities of crushed lead ore were found elsewhere on site.
Fine mosaic floor of Roman dining room preserved in London
One of the finest early Roman mosaics found in Britain was excavated earlier this year in London. Possibly the centrepiece of a dining room, the mosaic shows no sign of wear and was probably new when the house burned down in about 120-125 AD.
The decorated floor is thought to have been made for a wealthy citizen who was perhaps connected to the recently-built Roman fort nearby. Stylistically the floor represents a transition between earlier 'black and white' geometric mosaics, such as those at Fishbourne in Sussex, and later mosaics which tended to become more baroque in colour and imagery.
The mosaic, excavated by the Museum of London Archaeology Service, is only the third of its date to be found in London, and is by far the most complete. About half of the design survives, set within a red tessellated border. The room in which it was laid seems to have contained a verandah on the side facing away from the street, presumably over looking a courtyard garden. In other respects, however, the building was relatively modest, being timber-framed, single-storey, and without a hypocaust. It is thought to have been destroyed in the great 'Hadrianic Fire' which swept through London in about AD120-125. Utensils datable to the early 2nd century, such as cooking pots, flagons, dishes, plates and other containers were buried as the building's walls collapsed. Many of the pots contained food, which residues survive.
Defensive spikes point to Roman fear of the North
New evidence from Hadrian's Wall suggests the tribes to the north posed a far more serious threat to the Roman army than was previously supposed. For the Þrst time, rows of stakeholes have been found against the north face of the wall which are thought to have held sharpened forked posts, designed to fend off heavy attack.
The discoveries were made unexpectedly during a rescue excavation at Byker, now in the suburbs of Newcastle but in open countryside during the Roman period. According to the excavator, Paul Bidwell of Tyne & Wear Museums, the three rows of densely-set stakeholes exactly match descriptions of defensive barriers found in Roman writers such as Caesar. Evidence that the stake-settings were replaced some time after their initial construction suggests the defences were a long-term feature. They may have stood up to 8ft high and 10ft deep.
The stakeholes cast doubt on the commonly-held view that the wall was devised to fend off only small-scale raiding parties and to act as a customs barrier, Dr Bidwell said. 'It now seems clear that the Romans were frightened of massive attack.'
Similar stakeholes were found near Wallsend, surrounding the vicus (or settlement) enclosure outside the Roman fort. They have not yet been found at other parts of the wall. However, they may have simply been overlooked as few archaeologists have examined the area between the wall and the ditch, Dr Bidwell said.
By coincidence, pits that may have held defensive stakes set up by Robert the Bruce at Bannockburn in 1314 were also identified last month on an air photograph. It was taken in 1984 by the Scottish Royal Commission at a time when a small part of the relevant area of the battlefield lay under arable, and the pits showed up as cropmarks. The whole area now lies under pasture The photograph had not previously been examined by archaeologists.
Rare Iron Age chariot burial discovered near Edinburgh
The immensely rare discovery of an Iron Age leader buried on his (or her) chariot in a grave - in the continental style - has come to light during a rescue excavation on wasteland at Newbridge outside Edinburgh.
Iron components of the chariot were found in a good state of preservation, including the two wheel rims and hub- hoops, the yoke fittings, harness and horse bits. The wood of the chariot, however, and all organic grave-goods such as clothing, have disappeared. All that remains of the person are a few scraps of tooth enamel.
Iron Age burials of complete standing chariots in pits under a mound were quite common in France and Belgium in the 3rd-2nd centuries bc, but only one previous example has been found in Britain, near Pickering in North Yorkshire. In the Yorkshire case, however, the chariot had not been buried underground but was merely covered by a mound of earth. The famous Iron Age 'Arras culture' graves of the Yorkshire Wolds contained chariots, but these had been dismantled before burial.
Many of the continental graves were richly furnished, with Fine decorated La Tène objects, Mediterranean imports and weaponry. Sadly, the Edinburgh grave seems to have contained no examples of metalwork. According to the excavator, Stephen Carter of Headland Archaeology, this suggests either a different burial rite from the continental tradition, or that the grave had been robbed of portable items at a time when the mound was still visible - perhaps during antiquity.
The discovery of what seems to be a rare Gaulish-inspired burial rite in the north of Britain is a surprise, as the direct influence of continental Iron Age culture in Scotland appears generally to be slight.
Few examples of La Tène metalwork are known north of the border, although they include the spectacular 3rd-2nd century horned 'Torrs' pony- cap, a British-made artefact in a continental style which is one of the chief prehistoric exhibits of the National Museum of Scotland.
A tale of two potters, a burnt house and a cemetery
Archaeological work in Colchester over recent months has produced new evidence of Queen Boudica's systematic destruction of the town, a large mid-late Roman cremation cemetery, and a tale of what seem to be two 2nd century deluxe-pottery business failures.
A Roman house built in the 50s ad and subsequently destroyed by fire, presumably by Boudica in ad 60 or 61, was found through excavations in the centre of the town. According to Philip Crummy, Director of the Colchester Archaeological Trust, the discovery fits the pattern found elsewhere in Colchester, where every pre-Boudican building without exception was found to be burnt down, suggesting that the Icenian queen's destruction of Colchester was methodical and complete.
The absence of burnt furniture, possessions and bodies - again, as seen elsewhere - indicates, however, that the Roman settlers had time to clear away their possessions and seek safety away from the town. This matches the evidence of the Roman historian Tacitus, who wrote that the citizens of Colchester found refuge in the nearby Temple of Claudius.
The house appears to have stood for some time as a burnt- out shell. Later, the frontage was razed and buried under a new wide footway along the side of the road. Eventually new houses were built over the rest of the plot, including one with a D-shaped basin projecting into the garden which appears to have been an ornamental garden pool. Rare in Britain but common in the Mediterranean, this pool may suggest the occupant had come to live in Colchester from abroad.
The cremation cemetery, one of only two Roman urban cemeteries excavated in Colchester in modern times, was partially dug to reveal 73 graves. Most of the cremated remains had been placed in urns of everyday pottery with no grave-goods. Some graves, however, were more richly furnished with personal items including shale and copper-alloy armlets, jet beads, coins, a small stone mixing palette probably for cosmetics and a green glass unguent bottle. The cemetery dates to the 2nd-4th century.
Over recent decades in Colchester, archaeologists have found hundreds of fragments of Roman pottery-moulds used to make top-of-the- range decorated 'samian' pottery, and a specialised samian kiln. New analysis of the 2nd century moulds points to two different (but unnamed) Colchester potters. Study of samian ware found in the town, however, suggests the local potters had scant success selling their wares. Out of some 1,000 fragments, only about five were made in the town; the rest were imported.
According to Mr Crummy, the standard of the Colchester ware was as good as the foreign competition. Without distribution costs, it ought to have been cheaper to buy. The apparent failure of the two Colchester businesses thus remains a mystery.
The latest issue of 'The Colchester Archaeologist', a magazine published annually by the Colchester Archaeological Trust, was published last month at £1.99. The Trust can be contacted on 01206 541051.
In brief
Great Orme
A spoil tip of copper ore processing waste near a spring on the Great Orme, North Wales, has been dated to the early Bronze Age - the first tip of this date from a site other than a mine yet found in Britain. Bone from the mound was radiocarbon-dated to between about 1880 and 1680 bc. Other finds examined by Barbara Ottaway and Emma Wager of the University of Sheffield include charcoal flecks, a possible hammerstone spall and small nodules of copper carbonate ore. The site lies close to the Great Orme copper mine, and suggests that ore was transported to the spring to be ground up and washed before smelting.
Rookhope Mill
The Environment Agency has escaped prosecution for bulldozing parts of Rookhope Old Smeltmill, an 18th century scheduled monument in Co Durham, in 1999 (BA February 2000). The Agency had failed to consult archaeologists before proceeding with decontamination works. However, this year English Heritage decided not to resort to court action in recognition of the 'positive way' the Agency had responded after the monument was damaged. The Agency has agreed to liaise more closely with other organisations, and to fund further archaeological work at the mill.
Roman fort
One of the earliest Roman forts in Britain has been excavated north of Oxford by archaeologists from Leicester University. The bases of the fort's gateposts had been preserved in waterlogged conditions, and tree-ring analysis showed they had almost certainly been felled in autumn 44 ad - the year of Claudius's invasion. Other discoveries include a wooden beaker, barbed arrowheads and armour.
Viking Disease
A national study of heart disease, sponsored by the British Heart Foundation, has blamed the lasting influence of Viking settlement for a cluster of genetic anomalies in north-eastern England which can predispose the carrier to heart disease. Alistair Hall, consultant cardiologist at the University of Leeds, contrasted the pattern of Viking settlement in the North with more varied continental settlement in the South leading to a stronger, heterogeneous gene pool.

TIFFIN– The Clear Creek Amana school district experienced its second lockdown ever last Thursday, Oct. 13, after a car chase involving the Cedar Rapids Police Department ended west of Tiffin, just a few miles from the high school and middle school.
According to authorities, a male and female suspect fled in a stolen pickup truck west of Half Moon Avenue on Highway 6 and are still at large.

SOLON– With young lineups, the 2016 cross country season has been a learning experience for Solon. That continued through the WaMaC Conference Meet Oct. 13, where the Solon boys finished 12th in the 16-team field with 316 points.
By Joe Wilkinson
Special to the Economist
SOLON– Cross country is a team sport, with individual recognition. You need five runners who can outrun another school's top five to place ahead of them. That is the 'team part.' The top runners– on that day– are rewarded as 'medalists.' That's the individual perk.
In this season's first meet, Aug. 27, Solon's girls mustered a middle of the pack finish, with one top-25 medalist. "We are very young this year. Many of our runners are learning how to run a 5 kilometer race," explained coach Emy Williams on that day.
MOUNT VERNON– Solon Head Varsity Volleyball Coach Sarah Ferin knew her squad had a hill to climb against Mount Vernon in the opening round of the Class 3A volleyball postseason Oct. 19.
"But the girls know we have nothing to lose and everything to gain," she said. "Confidence, trust and energy are the focus this week for sure– we know we have the athletes to play against Mount Vernon, we just have to put it all together."
SWISHER– On Saturday, Nov. 5, from 4:30-7:30 p.m., the Swisher Auxiliary hosts its Annual Homemade Turkey Dinner. Adult meals cost $10 and kids meals are $5. The Junior Auxiliary will host Turkey bingo upstairs through dinner. Bingo cost is $1 per game with winners receiving a turkey to take home. Arts and crafts will be offered for children attending the event during bingo.
SOLON– St. Mary Catholic Church will be hosting a presentation on testicular cancer Thursday, Oct. 27, at 7 p.m. at St. Mary Parish Hall in Solon.
The event will feature Kenneth G. Nepple, MD FACS, a Clinical Assistant Professor with the University of Iowa Department of Urology; and Solon native Cody Kroul, a recent testicular cancer patient.

SHUEYVILLE– Water supply has been a chronic issue for the Jefferson-Monroe (Swisher) Fire Department.
The all-volunteer force of 27 members serves Swisher, Shueyville and the surrounding rural areas of Jefferson and Monroe townships. Typically, firefighters hook their pumping engines to fire hydrants while battling a blaze in town. However, neither city has a municipal water supply, which means every drop of water used at a fire must be trucked in, like fighting a fire in rural areas.
SOLON– Last year's Christmas Tree Walk at the Palmer House Stable was such a success, the Old Gold Diner is going to do it again.
With the help of area individuals, businesses and organizations, the Old Gold Diner would like to make the tree walk an annual event. The group is seeking representation from Solon area residents and clubs to serve on a committee to plan the 2017 event with an eye toward adding more features. Set-up for the Christmas Tree Walk is scheduled for Friday, Dec. 2. The tree walk will be held Saturday, Dec. 3, starting at 9 a.m.
SOLON– Our Lord's Church will host October Fest on Saturday, Oct. 29, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The luncheon will serve three kinds of hot soup, hot dogs and chili dogs will also be served from 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Kolaches, cinnamon rolls, cream puffs and lots of other baked goods will also be available. Cheese Curds from Ely's Dan and Debbie's Creamery will be on hand as will breads from Sykora's Bakery. Kalona Ice Cream Bars will also be available for $2, however please call for large orders.
A review of Christmas gifts and crafts will be part of the event.
SOLON– The Visiting Nurse Association (VNA) visits Solon High School Tuesday, Oct. 25, from 3:30-6 p.m., to administer flu vaccinations to the public.
The clinics offer flu shots QIV, High Dose Flu (for ages 65 years and older) and pneumonia vaccine (available upon prior request).

Vintage clothing has experienced a resurgence amongst consumers since the early 1990s. Many celebrities have been spotted wearing vintage clothing, which has only helped to strengthen the trend. Vintage clothing is more environmentally friendly, allowing for the reuse and recycling of garments. Although there is some debate between how old an item must be in order to be considered vintage, vintage clothing typically dates between the 1920s and the 1960s.
Women's vintage blouses are often made of cotton and come in a wide array of colours and styles. Popular vintage blouses feature puff sleeves that gather at the wearer's wrists, square necklines and intricate detailing along the collar and sleeves. Most vintage blouses have been worn, but a few can be found in their original condition. Vintage wear, including vintage blouses, can be found secondhand in vintage shops, car boot sales, charity shops, and through online auction-based websites such as eBay. In order to help buyers in purchasing a vintage blouse, this guide will suggest ways to check for damage to the blouse material, how to compare sizing between vintage wear and modern clothing, and how to properly launder a vintage blouse.
Checking for Damage
When buying vintage blouses, it is always a good idea to check for any damage to the blouse. Vintage clothing is often much more durable and made of higher quality materials than today's clothing. However, due to its age, it may have experienced high volumes of wear.
General Wear and Tear
Buyers should check the areas of the blouse that receive the most stress, including the elbows, cuffs, seams, and armpits. While tearing at the seam lines can often be mended by a good dressmaker, tearing at other areas is generally more difficult to repair.
It is possible to remove some stains, but those that have been allowed to settle into the blouse over an extended period of time are likely to be difficult or impossible to remove. Mildew and perspiration stains are also difficult to remove. Buyers should check the underarms of the blouse for any lingering stains from deodorant or natural body oils.
Fading is often associated with vintage wear and can stem from prolonged exposure to sunlight. A good way to check for fading is to turn the blouse inside out and examine the seams. If the seams are slightly darker than the rest of the blouse, then this is a good indication that the blouse has faded. This loss of colour may not be noticeable from the outside, and therefore, the blouse may still be wearable.
Buyers should inspect the vintage blouse for signs of deterioration, especially in those made of natural fibres such as cotton, silk, and wool. Deterioration is common in older garments and may include signs of pilling in the fabric.
Sagging and Stretching
Many of today's fashion items are made with lycra to help the clothing to retain its original shape, but vintage wear predates the wide use of this stretchy material. So, it is not uncommon to find vintage blouses that sag or have stretched over time with regular wear. Vintage wear may also have experienced stretching from prolonged time on a hanger. Silk blouses are especially prone to this type of damage as their fibres become weakened from the downward force exerted by the natural weight of the garment. This type of damage is irreversible.
Vintage blouses are likely to have been stored without washing for some time. This can cause odours such as mildew to linger. While most odours can be removed with washing, buyers should take special care when cleaning a vintage item as its age and material may make it unsuited to modern cleaning methods and expert help may be needed from a dry cleaner who specialises in delicate clothing.
Moth Holes
Buyers should thoroughly inspect the vintage blouse for any signs of moth holes. Moths prefer dark coloured items, so these blouses should be double checked. While some damage may be minimal, other damage may make the blouse unwearable. If buyers decide to purchase a blouse that has moth holes, the garment should be laundered immediately to prevent the spread of any persisting moth larvae to other clothing.
The vintage blouse should be checked for any missing embellishments including sequins, beading, and embroidery. All embellishments should be securely adhered to the blouse fabric.
All snaps fasteners and buttons should be securely fastened to the blouse and be in good working order. Zips should open and close smoothly and be free from rust.
Vintage Sizing
Vintage sizing is inconsistent with more modern sizing. This is thought to be because of the change in women's body shapes over the past decades. Therefore, women should to take their measurements before buying the blouse. This includes measuring the bust, waist, and hips. Women should always ask the seller about the measurements of the blouse and compare it to their own. For plus size women, vintage plus size labels are often recognised by their half sizing.
Properly Caring for a Vintage Blouse
Vintage blouses should be dry cleaned or hand washed. Vintage wear should never be machine washed because of the fragility of the fabric and seams. Certain fabrics such as silk, velvet, wool, and chiffon should never be subjected to water. For buyers who intend to hand wash a vintage blouse, then use warm or cool water as hot water can cause fabric dyes to run and may promote fading. Most vintage blouses can be placed in the dryer as long as the fabric is durable enough to withstand heat, although laying the blouse flat to dry is always the preferred method. It is best to launder the blouse immediately after wear to prevent any stains from settling into the fabric. Even if there are no evident stains on the garment, body oil, deodorant, and perspiration can all cause damage if left untreated.
Buying a Vintage Blouse
Although vintage blouses can be found at auctions, car boot sales, and charity shops, the most common place to shop is online. Vintage collectors have a vast online community where they share photos, ideas, and buy and sell vintage clothing. When looking at vintage blouses for sale online, ask the seller about wear and tear and other defects. When starting to search for a blouse, buyers should browse through listings until they gets a fair idea of what the item should cost.
Buying a Vintage Blouse on eBay
Buying online is made easy with sites like eBay because they offer security and convenience. eBay's auction feature is especially useful to buyers searching for vintage clothing. By bidding on an item and keeping up with the bidding until the end of the auction, many items can be bought for less than their value in a bricks and mortar secondhand shop.
To find vintage blouses on eBay, simply go to the eBay homepage and search for "womens vintage blouse" by typing the keywords into the search bar at the top of the page. Alternatively, buyers can use eBay's advanced search feature to narrow down listings by category, price, or buying format.
Choosing Top-rated sellers on eBay ensures that the seller has a history of good customer service. This feature makes eBay a secure online marketplace to buy and sell vintage blouses. It is a good idea to become familiar with the terms and conditions before buying. Some sellers may allow buyers to return items, if necessary, while, others do not have a returns policy. It is always best to read an item description carefully before placing a bid. If there is no mention of a returns policy, buyers should contact the seller using the "Ask a question" link on the description page.
It is more than possible to find the perfect vintage blouse for any occasion with just a little bit of research. The majority of vintage blouses are likely to have been worn, so it is important to examine the garment carefully for any signs of damage including discolouration, tears, and lingering odours. While some imperfections may be easy to mend, others are irreparable. Buyers must decide which imperfections give the vintage blouse character and which render the blouse unwearable. Buyers must also consider sizing and take their appropriate measurements, and compare them to those of the blouse before finalising a bid on eBay.
If the buyer has any questions about the features of the garment, or its history, they should contact the seller. As with any garment purchased online, it is wise to ensure that the blouse can be returned in the event of it being a poor fit. By being familiar with the appropriate way to store and launder a vintage blouse, the buyer can help to preserve the garment for a future generation of wearers. After all, the pleasure in vintage wear should come from knowing that the beauty of the blouse will last over time.
