The M52 is born from the incredible success of her smaller sister-ships, the M36 and the M42 . Retaining all of the great ease of handling features and classic beauty of the M36 and M42, the new M52 provides a spacious interior layout with two sleeping cabins, each with its' own separate head, luxurious accommodations below and an even larger cockpit with more generous seating. Morris Yachts and the legendary design firm Sparkman and Stephens have once again teamed up to produce a yacht of lasting beauty - a yacht that will grace any harbor and provide her owner with pride of ownership for many years.Sail handling has been thoroughly engineered for simplicity, reliability, and ease of use. A Hall Spars carbon fiber mast, Leisurefurl in-boom furling system, Navtec hydraulic system for the vang and backstay and hydraulic primary and main halyard winches are standard equipment. Her generous fractional rig with self-tacking jib makes for a powerful yet remarkably easy to control sail plan. As perfected on the smaller M-Series boats all sheets and control lines are led below deck to rope clutches and hydraulic winches located in the cockpit within easy reach of the helmsperson. The only lines above deck are for the asymmetrical cruising spinnaker that is trimmed from self-tailing manual winches outboard of the helm. All of these features allow for comfortable and convenient access to all sail controls for the skipper with lots of cockpit room for family and guests. Forward of the control pods are spacious port and starboard cockpit seats with Sunbrella-covered closed cell foam cushions. The seats are nearly seven feet in length and comfortably suitable for seating six adults or taking a nap. Hatches on all three cockpit seats allow access to below-decks storage. A standard gloss-varnished teak drop leaf table with integrated cooler is permanently fixed to the cockpit sole.A high performance bulbed keel of moderate draft together with a high aspect ratio carbon/epoxy spade rudder are designed and built for speed, stability, and precise control. Exterior styling is traditional with gelcoat deckhouse and gloss varnished teak joinery including toe rail, eyebrow trim, dorade boxes, coaming cap, companionway hatch and cabin top handrails. Optionally the house and cockpit can be trimmed in varnished teak cladding. The deck has a contrasting color non-skid finish and the cockpit sole is laid teak decking. Teak decking can also be added on the main deck for the ultimate in classic looks. Auxiliary propulsion comes from a Yanmar 54hp Saildrive diesel engine with a three blade Flex-O-Fold folding propeller. A VHF radio, GPS with 8" color display, sailing instruments with three separate displays for wind, depth and speed readings are located in the cockpit and a multi-function repeater is mounted at the Nav station. A complete owner's manual is included. The M52 is CE approved for Class B or C depending on optional equipment selected.

Skip to comments.Taking the Measure of Relics of the True Cross (Catholic/Orthodox Caucus)
Posted on 04/21/2011 8:31:39 AM PDT by Pyro7480
Whenever the subject of bogus relics comes up, you can count on someone saying, "There are enough pieces of the True Cross to rebuild Noahs Ark!"
Whoever delivers that punch line probably does not know that he or she is echoing the 16th-century Dutch humanist Erasmus....
Clearly, this is a punch line with a pedigree, but is it accurate?....in the last half of the 19th century, a French independent scholar named Charles Rohault de Fleury assigned himself the task of tracking down and measuring every surviving relic of the True Cross.
...Once he had estimated the weight of the cross, de Fleury calculated the size, or more accurately, volume, of the cross, which came to 10,900 cubic inches. But the total volume of all the fragments he had measured came to only 240 cubic inches. The number surprised him, so he made a generous allowance for fragments that were in private hands or otherwise had not come to his attention, as well as fragments that had been lost over the centuries or destroyed in war or during the vandalism of the Reformation. He multiplied his original number by 10 and arrived at a new figure: 2,400 cubic inches, not even a fifth of the estimated size of the cross upon which Christ was crucified.
In 1870, de Fleury published his findings in a book, Mémoire sur les Instruments de la Passion. De Fleury concluded that if all the surviving relics of the True Cross were somehow reassembled, there would not be enough lumber to crucify a man, let alone build Noah's Ark. The 20th-century English Catholic author Evelyn Waugh, referring to de Fleury's conclusions, said, "As far as volume goes, therefore, there is no strain on the credulity of the faithful."

Caucus threads are closed to any poster who is not a member of the caucus.
For instance, if it says Catholic Caucus and you are not Catholic, do not post to the thread. However, if the poster of the caucus invites you, I will not boot you from the thread.
The caucus article and posts must not compare beliefs or speak in behalf of a belief outside the caucus.
There is no tolerance for posters coming onto a caucus thread claiming that they were once baptized into that belief and therefore are still a member of it due to the belief saying they are - even though they are not active in that belief and notoriously dispute that belief on "open" Religion Forum threads. The same holds for those who claim they are members because of their ancestry even though they are not active in that belief and notoriously dispute it on "open" RF threads.
That behavior is finessing the guidelines, it is flame baiting. No dice.
Also, there is little to no tolerance for non-members of a caucus coming onto the caucus thread to challenge whether or not it should be a caucus. Gross disruption usually follows.
I suppose there are still some who imagine there are vast numbers of "relics of the True Cross", but, it turns out, there aren't. People were not simply manufacturing them for the gullible and simpleton. It was a far more serious exercise and the count serves to remind us that not everyone stoops to every opportunity to commit bunco!
We also have only two photographic negatives from the Middle Ages or before.
ONLY TWO ~ not hundreds, or millions as might be expected if someone then knew how to do it, that it was easily done, and people would pay good money for a picture ~ After all, in the good old days your own personal court artist was cheaper to keep than any camera!

Dramatic footage released by the Kurdish government today shows Kurdish special forces, with help from US commandos.
More than 70 hostages were rescued in the operation in Hawija in Norther Iraq. Unfortunately one American soldier was wounded and later died from his injuries. Master Sgt Joshua Wheeler, 39, of Roland, Oklahoma is the first American military death in the fight against IS.
The video shows dozens of scared Iraqi and possibly Syrian hostages being ushered out of the building and searched by Kurdish soldiers. An American voice can be heard giving instructions as the rescued men are taken out.
The Pentagon later announced that the plan was to have the Kurdish and Iraqi special forces units flown in by helicopter, with the American Delta Force members hanging back and only intervening if there was heavy fighting or in an emergency. The Delta Force unit was drawn into fighting when the ISIS fighters fought back with heavy weapons and fire.
The Pentagon announced that satellite imagery had shown mass graves were being dug in preparation for the mass execution of the hostages, so the operation was signed off before the terrorists could kill any hostages. The hostages were reportedly a mix if local men who had been accused of spying by ISIS, around 20 captured Iraqi soldiers and a handful of former ISIS members who had tried to escape and leave ISIS. No doubt they will be keeping a close eye on those guys…

If he builds a table of dates then it becomes a straightforward problem. The only difficult bit is displaying the free dates as separate ranges rather than as individual free dates. Even this would also be simple if it could be done in an external program ie PHP.

We've had BB creams for our hair, hair exfoliators…however, there's a new product type hitting the shelves which has piqued a renewed interest for us in this category. Micellar shampoos. If you're unfamiliar with the concept of micellar water, let us enlighten you.
Previously the skincare secret of French women – and they know a thing or two about looking fabulous – micellar waters are what they use to remove makeup and get skin really clean. Through the power of the internet and social media, micellar waters gained cult status in the beauty world. They subsequently came to our UK shores and we've all gone crazy for them.
They take their name from micelles, minuscule round balls of oil that you can just about see floating about in the bottle. On contact with the skin the oil is dispersed, picks up the dirt on your skin far superiorly to anything else but doesn't strip skin of any moisture along the way. In short, it's quick, super powerful and majorly effective. Which is why it's now being infiltrated into shampoos, because who doesn't want super clean hair that doesn't feel dry in a jiffy?

And then there's Charles Worthington Everyday Gentle Micellar Shampoo, £5.99

A report from the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization
Service recommends that its pilot program to identify
illegal immigrants in the Anaheim jail be shut down
and its resources diverted to increase the INS
presence at the Orange County Jail in Santa Ana.
"The Anaheim jail project is not an efficient use
of limited INS management resources," says the report
from John Brechtel, INS acting officer in charge for
Orange County.
The INS recommendation was rejected Tuesday by
Reps. Chris Cox, R-Newport Beach, and Robert K.
Dornan, R-Garden Grove, who want to keep an
immigration agent at the Anaheim jail. Dornan said
shifting the agents to the county would defeat the
program's purpose -- testing the effectiveness of
having agents at the city level.
"Congress won't agree to the INS recommendation
because it makes no sense," Dornan said.
The INS paid for the pilot program for two months.
According to the June 18 report, an INS agent
interviewed 1,903 people arrested during that period,
ending May 25. Thirty-seven percent were foreign-born.
A total of 451 arrestees, or 24 percent of those
interviewed, were determined to be illegal immigrants.
Of those, 410 had no criminal record, according to the
memo. Most immigrants "were arrested for minor
offenses," such as being drunk in public, the report
Anaheim Councilman Bob Zemel said Tuesday that the
INS does not understand what the city wants to
City officials want to identify illegal immigrants
before they go to court, Zemel said, so judges will
know they might jump bail before trial. He also
dismissed the contention that most illegal immigrants
are arrested for nonviolent crimes.
"How dare they tell us, in our community we have to
put up with being drunk in public, that is not a crime
against our citizens," Zemel said.
INS officials declined Tuesday to comment on the
report, saying they were scheduled to meet today with
Anaheim city officials to discuss it.
An INS agent works part time five days a week at
the Orange County Jail to identify prisoners scheduled
to be released who could be deported instead. The
report recommends that be increased to seven days.

Wrong-way driver's in-law speaks out
A sister-in-law of Diane Schuler, whose horrific wrong-way drunken driving crash on the Taconic Parkway two years ago killed eight people, said she still can't believe Schuler would have done it -- and she participated in a new HBO documentary on the crash hoping to find answers.
"There's Something Wrong with Aunt Diane" is the title of the special, which aired last night. Jay Schuler, sister-in-law of Diane Schuler's husband, Daniel, told the "Today" show Monday morning: "I know it's very hard. . . . If you looked back at the type of person she was, she would never do such a thing. Where did she drink, when did she drink? How did she drink that much alcohol in that period of time?"
Schuler added: "There's so much unanswered. . . . I'm not saying anyone made any mistakes . . . but could anyone have done anything to alter results like that?"
Those results are the findings of a state police investigation into the July 26, 2009, crash -- which found that Diane Schuler, of West Babylon, had consumed the equivalent of 10 drinks and smoked marijuana before she drove her minivan southbound in the northbound lanes of the Taconic Parkway. Schuler died in the crash, which also killed her daughter, Erin, 2; nieces Emma, 8, Alyson, 7, and Kate Hance, 5, of Floral Park; and three people in a sport utility vehicle she hit head-on, Michael Bastardi Sr., 81, his son, Guy, 49, and family friend Daniel Longo, 74, all of Yonkers. Only her son, Bryan Schuler, then 5, survived.
Jackie Hance, mother of the three sisters who died, and her husband, Warren, who is Diane's brother, both refused to participate in the documentary, whose title is taken from the last words known to be spoken by Emma Hance -- in a frantic telephone call to her father.
The Hances are said to be upset with the documentary title. Director Liz Garbus told "Today" Monday she wouldn't have used the title had she known it would be offensive.
In an article in the August edition of Ladies' Home Journal, Hance, 40, said: "People always ask how I feel about Diane. You can't imagine how complex that question is. How does a person go from being like a sister to me -- adored by my girls and cherished by my husband -- to being the one who ruined our lives?"
In the segment that appeared on "Today," the show ran a segment from the HBO documentary that had Daniel Schuler questioning whether his wife had been drinking.
"I want to know," Schuler said, "did she have a stroke or not, because what they're saying is not true, otherwise I wouldn't be doing this."
A recent Newsday review of the documentary reported that Garbus confirmed Daniel Schuler and his sister, Jay Schuler, both received a "stipend" to participate in the special, as did members of the Bastardi family. A book, "The Taconic Tragedy: A Son's Search for the Truth" by Jeanne Bastardi, the wife of Michael Bastardi Jr., was released last month.

Rene, the blk hero on the bridge that save the bus was a chick, as she had breast. The good news is that based on her outfit and powers it was Rocket, which is commonly partnering with your young crush Static. So, while he has yet to make an appearance, I'm sure its in the works.

Re: YOUNG JUSTICE EPS
A Young Justice Episode put Wally's birthday on Nov.11, and he was wondering about school closures due to snowfall. Last I checked, school is usually closed on Memorial Day.
