Fairfax Elementary School is closed today due to the building not having power.
All other schools in the Mentor district are open today.
This if Fairfax's fifth calamity day of the year. It lost three days earlier this year after a Hurricane Sandy hangovers knocked out its power and another day earlier this month because of snow.
Schools are alotted five calamity days per year. This means -- under normal circumstances -- if a building misses more than five days, they would have to make up the balance some time before the end of the school year.
However, all the Mentor Public Schools have an additional 3-day buffer before they need to make up calamity days. This is because the district participates in the Blizzard Bag program.
The Blizzard Bag program allows the schools to post prepared assignments online during a calamity day.
If 80 percent of students complete their assignments, then the calamity day will not count against the district's total.
That means even Fairfax would need to have more than four additional calamity days (and more than eight total) before its school year is extended.
Though the wind advisory is due to end this morning, the National Weather Service is predicting snow will continue through Friday night.
Meteorologists are saying that the area could receive between one and two feet of snow by then.

I don't know about you bitches, but I'm so glad the election is over that I can't even stand it. That being said, I have decided to bring you a special edition post called:
NATurally Inappropriate
Election 2012: Best Election Memes and Photos
This election season sort of made me want to kill myself. Mainly because so many of my FB friends are so fucking stupid that it makes me embarrassed to know them. Anyway, I refrained from getting all involved in 'public' politics during the election and just now decided to compile some of my favorite Election 2012 memes and photos that I found on the net. I did not try to find more of one candidate than another, and wasn't trying to be 'fair' as to what I showed and how. I have only posted the ones that I thought were funny/witty– no matter who I chose as a candidate. So yeah- this shit is funny- so don't get all high and mighty and political up here in my house, bitches. And so, with no further ado:
Here's a good one. It just shows that young people in America aren't always as politically savvy as we'd hope:
ANyway, I hope you bitches have a safe and happy weekend. I hope to be returning to my normal blogging schedule next week!!

A new Ceiops governance paper highlights some operational risk challenges for Europe's insurers
FRANKFURT – A new issues paper from the Committee of European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Supervisors (Ceiops) highlights operational risks in governance, risk management and outsourcing for insurers in the European Union (EU). The document focuses on Level 2 implementing measures for systems of governance.
The issues paper is a response to industry comments received after Ceiops' July 2007 risk management paper. The issues paper includes chapters on risk management, internal controls, general governance requirements, fit and proper requirements, internal audit, the actuarial function and outsourcing.
The risk management chapter includes specific definitions for operational risk and its effective management – including internal processes, internal and external risk factors, and the implementation of a robust and documented op risk framework.
The final chapter on outsourcing also highlights operational risk, outlining a firm's responsibilities in verifying the abilities of service providers to mitigate its operational risks. The paper underlines the risk management responsibilities for firms seeking to outsource, highlighting the effect of impaired visibility that outsourcing can have for supervision.
The paper can be downloaded from the link below.

The Art of Complaining
Being vigilant and making gripe calls can pay off.
Companies have over-charged me $1,100 during the past year. My health insurance provider rejected a $200 claim because it erroneously determined that I had visited an out-of-plan doctor. My flex spending administrator mistakenly said it would not pay for my $600 prescription eyeglasses. And my doctor performed an unnecessary diagnostic test, without asking or informing me, which landed a $300 bill in my mailbox.
Each year, millions of consumers are bombarded with these kinds of payment problems. One industry group estimates billing errors involving health insurance alone exceed $100 billion a year. It's not just with healthcare. Consumers report that they often find mistakes on credit cards, cellphone bills, and government benefit checks. At the Social Security Administration, the inspector general found that between 1990 and 2006, over 90,000 Social Security recipients were underpaid a total of $120.4 million—some by as much as $25,000.
Those startling numbers show the importance of checking up on how companies and agencies determine what you owe them and what they owe you. Sometimes they make mistakes, and being vigilant is the only way to make sure you get your money. But many people never see their cash again, because they don't notice the problem, they don't have time to call, or, worst of all, they don't feel they have the right to complain.
Costly silence. In fact, Bob Sullivan, the author of Gotcha Capitalism: How Hidden Fees Rip You Off Every Day—and What You Can Do About It, estimates that most people don't call companies about errors, often because they blame themselves for the problem, something he sees most commonly in older generations. In addition, people with limited English skills or hearing difficulties are less likely to contact companies, which puts them at a financial disadvantage. "I worry about those folks," he says.
Women are also more likely to overpay, because they tend to be less comfortable with the idea of lodging complaints, says Linda Babcock, coauthor of Ask for It: How Women Can Use the Power of Negotiation to Get What They Really Want, out this month. She says that negotiating for a fair price or complaining about a charge need not mean conflict, which is what scares some people off. Instead, think: "We have an issue...and we can work to fix the problem together," she says. If a company has made an error, it will also want to find a solution and ensure the customer is satisfied, she adds.
According to a survey Sullivan conducted for his book, those of us who make our voices heard have a decent chance of getting the desired results: Complaints to credit card companies and airlines had a success rate of over 60 percent. (If you're calling to complain to your cable provider, however, you may want to first hone your debating skills: Only 20 percent of consumers got the response they were looking for.)
Despite their sometimes impenetrable automated phone lines, companies are not the omniscient, technologically advanced entities they often present themselves to be. They aren't even that smart sometimes. (When I called Aetna to point out that the insurer had rejected a claim for a visit to an emergency care facility even though the facility said it accepted Aetna insurance, the rep told me that I should have asked the facility if it "participates" with the provider, not if it "accepts" it. Seriously.)
In all three cases mentioned above, I contacted the companies and eventually got my money back. Sometimes, making the call is worth the inconvenience and stress. You could find yourself over a thousand dollars richer.

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that occurs when a blood clot forms in your veins, usually in the legs, and blocks normal blood flow. If the DVT breaks loose and travels to your lungs, it can be fatal. This is called a pulmonary embolism or PE. Often, DVT occurs without signs or symptoms and can be hard to detect. Learn more.
Are You At Risk for Deep Vein Thrombosis?
The following conditions may put you at risk for DVT:
What You Can DoThe good news is that DVT may be prevented and treated. Your doctor may prescribe medication or take other action. That is why it is important to talk to your doctor about your risk of DVT.
If you are concerned about DVT, and need a free doctor's referral, call 402-CARE (2273).

No surprise here: Multiple NPB Teams Have Interest in LaHair
I suppose that if the worst case for LaHair is that he can hit like Micah Hoffpauir, it shouldn't surprise anyone that he'd get offers from Japanese teams. Maybe call it the Matt Murton effect. After the last two years, there's no question LaHair could make a pretty good living playing ball in Japan. In the short run, he'll probably be a lot less well off financially if he gets the opportunity to stay on the Cubs' 40 man roster through next season. Glad to see that he's determined to make that happen regardless.

Advertising Law
Mom Sues After Stock Photo of Her Daughter Is Used on Anti-Abortion Billboard
Posted Apr 27, 2011 11:43 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
A New Jersey mother says in a lawsuit that she had to explain the facts of life to her 6-year-old daughter after a stock photo of the girl appeared on an anti-abortion billboard aimed at African-Americans.
The suit filed by mother Tricia Fraser says the group Life Always and its ad agency used a stock photo of her daughter, taken when she was 4, even though the release she signed banned defamatory uses of the photo. The Manhattan billboard showed a picture of Anissa Fraser in a sun dress with the words, "The most dangerous place for an African-American is in the womb."
The Associated Press, Ad Week and Courthouse News Service have coverage of the New York suit (PDF posted by Courthouse News), which calls the ad campaign "racist" and "controversial."
"While Life Always and Heroic Media certainly have the right to engage in such offensive speech," the lawsuit says, "they do not have the right to exploit the likeness of an innocent child to do so. Defendants' conduct is illegal; it violates the express terms of a contract and New York statute."
Tricia Fraser says she took her daughter to be photographed in response to an ad seeking models for family photos, and her only compensation was a copy of the photos. She was led to believe the photos would be used to promote the photographer's work, the suit claims.
The controversial billboard has caused Anissa to suffer emotional distress and has harmed her budding modeling career, according to the suit.

Pioneers beat Alexander Central in overtime
by Steve Behr Sports Editor
TAYLORSVILLE — Watauga's first two overtime games did not go so well. The Pioneers made sure Friday night at Alexander Central that their third overtime game would be different.
Watauga beat Northwestern Conference rival Alexander Central 50-42 in overtime by combining two DeWayne Mackey 3-point baskets with seven straight Watauga foul shots. The Pioneers (7-4, 1-1 NWC), who lost back-to-back overtime games to Hickory and West Wilkes, did not give up a point in Alexander Central's four final possessions.
"One of the things that I love about this team is that they have no quit in them," Pioneers coach Rob Sanders said. "Somebody, every night when we're in one of those games, and it's not always the same person, but somebody always finds a way to get it done and tonight it was DeWayne."
Mackey, who scored 11 of his 22 points in the overtime
period, put Alexander Central in a hole in the beginning of the extra period by
making back-to-back 3-point shots. The second 3-pointer that gave the Pioneers
a 43-38 lead.
Alexander Central (7-9, 0-4) closed the Watauga lead to 43-42, but a Matt Quigley basket would be the last shot Alexander Central would make.
Mackey started to solidify Watauga's victory by making three straight foul shots to put the Pioneers in front 46-42. Two more foul shots from Ben Margolis, combined with two final Mackey free throws with 21.2 seconds left, solidified the Pioneers' victory.
Watauga seemed ready to win the game in regulation when a
Margolis basket with 3:25 left in the fourth quarter gave the Pioneers a 37-31
lead. While Alexander Central was scoring the next six points to force the
overtime, Watauga was failing to score on its final nine possessions of the
Alexander Central did not help itself by making just 10-of-25 (40 percent) free throws. The Cougars shot better from the field, 44.1 percent (14-of-34), than from the foul line.
Watauga made 9-of-18 from the foul line.
"I don't know what else you can say," Alexander Central coach Ed Wills said. "You work hard to get into the position to get to the line and you can't shoot 40 percent. It's disappointing because we played really hard and so did Watauga. It was a hard-fought game."
Watauga also hurt Alexander Central by making 9-of-22 from 3-point range, while Alexander Central hit just 2-of-14 from the beyond the 3-point arc.
No other Pioneer scored in double figures. Eli Gailes and Matt Lambert each came off the bench to score six points. Mackey grabbed a team-high six of Watauga's 27 rebounds.
Watauga's offense struggled for most of the game because of Alexander Central's matchup zone. The Pioneers were held to just five points in the first quarter, but held Alexander Central to five points in the second quarter and led 17-15 at halftime.
Neither team scored more than 15 points in a quarter.
"We were not very successful getting the ball inside, really all night," Sanders said. "We had several opportunities to get the ball to the guys on the blocks. Either we didn't work hard enough to get position for the entry pass and we either ended up turning the ball over on the pass or missing the short shot on the block."
Alexander Central got 15 points from Luke Bean and 14 points from Quigley, who also pulled down seven rebounds.

Nzwala, K.J. (2007) A study of the teaching of reading in Grade 1 in the Caprivi region, Namibia. Masters thesis, Rhodes University.
This study was conducted in order to understand how Grade 1 teachers teach reading in mother tongue with a focus, firstly, on teacher beliefs and how such beliefs influence teachers' practice, and secondly, on the methods they use to teach reading. The study was carried out in the Caprivi Region of Namibia. It took the form of an interpretive case study. Three schools were selected for study: one urban, one peri-urban and one rural. The purpose of this sampling was to consider the influence of context on teachers' practice. The data was gathered by using semi-structured interviews with open ended questions, as well as lesson observations and stimulated recall with the individual teachers after every lesson. This was important in order to have clarity on areas that were not clear during lesson presentations. The key findings are that the teachers I studied taught reading without using books, and there was an absence of shared reading with the learners. Other key findings are: teachers had great love for stories; they had a problem of language, and had no proper understanding of the concept 'literacy'.

Update: 8:20 p.m.: New Rochelle firefighters cleared the scene of a boat fire at the New York Athletic Club in Pelham Manor at 7:40 p.m.
The cause of the fire is still being determined, according to New Rochelle Deputy Chief Douglas Kelly.
Kelly said it took firefighters about an hour to get the fire under control, but it a took a while to extinguish the fire due to the boat's position. A few of the boats in the vicinity of the yacht were also damaged.
"The boat was in very precarious position," Kelly said. "We were concerned about tipping the boat over, so didn't get on boat."
Kelly said the the owner of the boat suffered minor burns to ear and neck trying to fight fire before emergency officials arrived. He was transported to Jacobi Medical Center in the Bronx for treatment.
Check back with Patch for more updates as they become available.
New Rochelle and Pelham Manor firefighters are currently battling a blaze on a 61-foot Hatteras Motor Yacht at the New York Athletic Club in Pelham Manor.
The fire call came in at about 12:30 p.m.
New Rochelle fire Chief Louis DiMeglio said the owner of the boat was getting the boat ready for the season when he took the cover off the boat and the fire ignited. He said the cause of the fire is unknown at this time. The boat was on dry dock at the time the fire started.
"Right now we're just waiting for the fire to get put out and we're going to have our investigator get on there and try and find where it started," DiMeglio said.
The owner of the boat was taken to the Jacobi Medical Center in the Bronx to be treated for burns to his face.
"I don't know the extent of his injuries," DiMeglio said. "I don't think they were life threatening, because I was talking to him first."
Although the address of the New York Athletic Club is in Pelham Manor, the boat is actually located over the New Rochelle border.
"We're fighting the fire from down below and the boat is probably about 24 feet high, or better, and we're lobbing the water from the ground, so that makes it more difficult for us," DiMeglio said.
DiMeglio said the fire was fully involved by the time firefighters got there. The Pelham Manor Fire Department was the first to arrive at the scene.
This is the second boat fire that the New Rochelle Fire Department has handled this year. On Monday, at the . That fire is still under investigation.

This was my first experience with fabric paint, and I think I'll do that again very soon !! It's so simple, and gives a nice personalized touch ... and with the Liberty fabric, it's a real girl bag !!
I've also stitched a little fish and made a softie with it : I'll probably hang it to the stroller to entertain the baby. For now, I've attached it to my "baby bag" (awsome gift from my mother, thank you so much !)
Happy friday night everyone !

Kate Gosselin spent the weekend bonding and having fun with her 8 children. Will this be one of the last chances she has to spend a lot of time with them before they go back to school, and she starts her search for Mr. Right?
"We are having a fun day together.... Making memories and bonding as a family... I love watching, listening & being a part of it," Gosselin tweeted on Sunday.
However, summer will soon be over, and Kate will be busy looking for love on a new dating show. Gosselin, who hasn't dated anyone publicly since her messy divorce from ex-husband, Jon Gosselin, is finally ready to dive back into the dating pool. (And make a little money while doing it!)
Will Kate's eight children--Mady, Cara, Joel, Aaden, Colin, Hannah, Alexis, and Leah--be forced to watch their mommy date multiple men? Why not? Their dad, Jon, has been through a handful of girlfriends since the divorce!
What do you think about Kate Gosselin spending some time with her kids before her dating show starts?

I'm not a professional evaluator of talent nor a scout, nor do I pretend to be. However, the guys below all caught my eye, either in press from knowledgeable sources, or during the combine matches I watched.
As a point of reference, the Sounders hold picks 33, 34, 53, and 72.
Is there an eye-catching player who will fall that far?
Is there a player left who merits trading up?
Is there a less-deep team who would be interested in, for example, most of/all of our picks in exchange for one earlier pick?
Miguel Ibarra, UC Irvine, MF, 5-7 135
One mock draft had the Sounders picking him in the second round. Another reputable mock had him going in round one. The big knock on him is obviously his size (to put it in perspective, Le Toux is 6'0, 155). However, he has great speed and skill.
The following three were all in the discussion when the GA roster was being named. I know less about each of them, but they all went pretty early in a mock or two pre-combine:
Carlos Alvarez, Connecticut, F, 5-10 160
Eric Schoenle, West Virginia , D, 6-2 147
Taylor Kemp, Maryland, D, 5-11 153
No international players were drafted in the first two rounds. I am certain that this was at least mildly embarrassing to Don G. and the boys. I am not, however, surprised. Each team has only 8 intl (before trades), and they are reticent to use one of them AND a super draft pick on an unproven player. With that said, a Supplemental Pick and an international slot is a (much?) lesser price. The following international players all showed well at the combine or have good pedigree/press.
Kohei Yamada MF
Yamada in particular showed a real spark of genius and really seemed to see the field well. I would love to see him in Rave Green.
Jason Banton MF
Has a lot of training time with top EPL teams on his resume. On the other hand, never stuck with any of them and is in the MLS Draft. He's probably a better gamble than John Rooney was though...and, despite the bouncing around, he's just 19.
Aldo Paniagua MF
Six foot 22-year-old Paraguayan who showed pretty well at the combine.
Who do you guys like from the remaining players? Is there anyone eye-catching who you would like to see in training?

One of the fruits of college life is the fervor it instills in youths, transplanted from their homes, to seek a new security in a larger environment, by forming new friendships. These bonds of adolescent comradeship are frequently carried into mature life as links with tried and trusted friends to whom appeal may be made in time of need. It is not surprising, therefore, that when Bartholomew Gosnold made his decision to be the first Englishman to sail directly ot Norumbega or New England across the ill-charted waters of the North Atlantic, he called to his side two who had been his associates at the University of Cambridge: John Brereton and Gabriel Archer.
Bothe Brereton and Archer wrote narratives of his voyage, which on comparison -- each sometimes confirming, sometimes suplementing, the other -- furinsh an integrated whole, a detailed account of all that Gosnold saw and experienced, together with each writer's own impressionon of the new lands discovered. Unfortunately neither of them had anything to say about the occasion for the voyage or its aftermath.
Beginning with these two recorders of the voyage, it is appropriate here to introduce the half-dozen members of Gosnold's company whose names are known. John Brereton was the third son of a prosperous Norwich mercer, holder of the high office of sheriff in that city, then the second largest in England. A year or so younger than Bartholomew Gosnold, Brereton continued his studies at Cambridge until he attained his Master of Arts degree in 1596, and then entered the ministry. His first appointment was to the curacy of Lawshall, a village six miles south of Bartholomew's home in Bury St. Edmunds.
It is altogether probable that Richard Hakluyt, whose parish at Wetheringsett was less than twenty miles by country lanes from Lawshall, knew this young curate, meeting him at whatever gatherings were held in those years for the clergy of the diocese of archdeaconry. Hakluyt, with missionary zeal expressed to the Queen in the opening chapter of his Discourse of Western Planting, would seize on every opportunity to tell his brother clergy, particularly the more youthful of them, that colonization among the savages of America would lead to "the gaining of the souls of millions of those wretched people, the reducing of them from darkness to light, from falsehood to truth, from dumb idols to the living God, from the deep pit of Hell to the highest of Heavens."
Brereton wrote of the voyage as one accustomed to the making of fine phrases and well-rounded sentences. He could write the resounding words, "We found ourselves embayed with a mighty headland", and was able to dismiss a bewildering bit of navigation with the crisp comment, "We sailed round about this headland, almost all the points of the compass." His style has the smoothness of a present-day copy writer extolling the delights of a new real-estate development, or of a health-resort. Of a place on the mainland, he wrote, "We stood awhile like men ravished at the beauty and delicacy of this sweet soil."
His Briefe and true Relation of the Discoverie of the North part of Virginia, "Written by M. John Brereton, on of the voyage", appeared in a tract forming part of a twenty-four page pamphlet which included also a paragraph on the voyage of Samuel Mace (sent out in that same year by Sir Walter Ralegh to search for the people of the lost colony of 1587) and the Treatise of "M. Edward Hayes, containing important inducements for the planting in those parts . . . "
This first edition was published in October, 1602, three months after the return of the expedition. A second edition followed quickly -- doubled in size by the addition of five brief documents the origin of which will be discussed later. It is a historical misfortune that no copy of either edition appears to have reached, or survived in, America, and the first American historian to make a study of Bartholomew Gosnold's voyage did not have access to a copy. This was Jeremy Belknap, who in 1798 published an account of Gosnold's course among the islands south of Cape Cod based entirely on Archer's Relation (available in Purchas' Pilgrimes), a study containing errors of interpretation which could have been avoided had Belknap known Brereton's supplementary data. Several of Belknap's misconceptions have come down in works of history to the present day and will be difficulot to displace.
Turning now to the next companion, Gabriel Archer was admitted to Gray's Inn after leaving Cambridge and there studied law. He has been identified in the records of this seat of learning as "of Mountnessing, Essex, Gentleman." That he was trained as a lawyer is confirmed by his recorded activities in the Jamestown colony, where he became more famous than he was as the obscure author of a Relation of Gosnold's voyage.
Archer's account of what happened in 1602 is maily a straightforward day-by-day journal of the voyage. One might think that he had made use of the official log of the Concord (not extant, if it ever existed), except that he had little or nothing to say about occurrences in which he did not personally participate. For instance, when the ship was anchored in the southern part of Cape Cod Bay, Archer stayed on board to fish, while a landing party went ashore. Archer mentioned this landing, but information as to what happened on shore comes intirely from John Brereton. Again, when Gosnold made his first landing on Martha's Vineyard, the incident is related only by Brereton; Archer had evidently again stayed on board the ship, and therefore had nothing to tell of the landing party's stroll about the place. On the other hand, when Archer stayed at the "fort" (which served also as a hibitation), while Gosnold went crusing around Buzzards Bay, Archer's story tells of the shore-party's privations and their worry about the delayed return of the ship, but nothing of Gosnold's experiences while away from the island.
Arche had a wry sense of humor, expressed in his penchant for giving quaint names to places. He named a little islet where a canoe was found "Hill's Hap", obviously because someone named Hill had the "hap" (luck) to find the canoe there. Then he found it amusing to reverse the name when another islet was found consisting of a hill crowned with a growth of tall cedars. This islet he called "Hap's Hill." Archer devised serval more names of this sort, none of which were mentioned by Brereton, who named only the chief islands discovered Martha's Vineyard and Elizabeth's Isle.
Archer's lively interest in everything that he observed in the course of the voyage, and his usually clear reporting, give on the whole the most useful information for a study of Gosnold's course and discoveries. The measurements reported in the narrative, and the relative position of places are remarkably accurate when properly lined up on a modern chart. Those historians who have impugned Archer's accuracy have done so because of errors in their own basic assumptions, making it appear that Archer was giving measurements for places far removed from those he actually had in mind.
It should be noted here, nevertheless, that both the narratives are characterized by strange and obvious omissions, with out doubt the result of editorial work done in London when the two narratives were being prepared for publication. The intent of the omissions or deletions was plainly to prevent later voyagers from following Gosnold to his Martha's Vineyard.
The three most important physical features inexplicably missing from the narratives are these:
(1) Nantucket Sound, which the explorers must have seen from "the highest hills" they climbed on Cape Cod. (2) The dangerous shoals east of Cape Cod, through which they must have passed as they "trended the coast southerly". (3) The large island now known as Martha's Vineyard (twenty-five miles long, with high hills), which the explorers must have passed on their way from Cape Cod to Buzzards Bay.
These and other incidental omissions make it almost impossible for the uninstructed reader of the narratives to obtain a clear picture of Gosnold's discovery of Martha's Vineyard and its Sounds.
Arche's manuscript, evidently prepared for publication in 1602, was not printed then. It finally came into the hands of Samuel Purchas, Hakluyt's successor in the publication of mariners' narratives -- he acquired many from Hakluyt's heirs -- who published it in 1625. In 1625, also, less than a hundred folio pages father on, a brief letter written by Archer on August 31, 1609, was published by Purchas. The former is Archer's first appearance in print, the latter his last. In a marginal note, Purchas melates that Archer died during the following winter, the "starving time" of 1609-1610, when the Virginia colony was almost wiped out.
There is reason to believe that Archer's 1602 manuscript, or a copy of it , was used a year or so after he died, and in any event before mid-March, 1611, in the making of a map for King James. The original of this map is not extant, but somehow don alonso de Velasco, Spanish Ambassador at King James' Court, had it redrawn for his own use. This version of it, now commonly called the Valesco Map, was found in the archives at Simancas, Spain, in the 1880's.
Each section of the "Virginia" coast on this map was drawn according to reports of the English explorers who visited that particular region. That Gosnold's discoveries were drawn solely at Gabriel Archer described them in his Relation is evident from the map's peculiarities. The word "penguin" is placed across the arm of Cape Cod (between modern Sandwich, Hyannis, and Flamouth) to show where birds of this species, the great auk, were shot by the expedition -- an incident related only by Archer. The island named "Elizabeth's Ile" shows an "Increeke" or Viniard", in closer accord with Archer's description than with the facts.
A most curious feature of the map is that the cartographer drew two great indentations in the shore of the mainland -- great bays or sounds -- where there should be only one, that which is now known as Buzzards Bay. This is plainly the cartographer's attempt to portray the two sounds mentioned by Archer in a phrase ("from Sound to Sound") which is not supported elsewhere in the narrative. Actually, Archer may have had in mind Vineyard Sound, lying between the long string of the Elizabeth Islands, as they are known today, and the equally long shore of Martha's Vineyard; but as both the true size of the Vineyard and the plurality of "Elizabeth's Ile", and the existence of the sound, had not been accurately known (or had been expunged from the first part of Archer's narrative), the map-maker did the best he could with the phase implying the existence of two sounds. These and other interesting features show that the cartographer had the use of Archer's Relation, but no other source of information about Gosnold's discoveries.
Another interesting member of Gosnold's company was Robert Salterne of Bristol, not mentioned in either of the narratives of Gosnold's voyage, but named by John Smith and Samuel Purchas in their chronicle of a voyage made a year later under Captain Martin Pring (a young mariner, born a matter of months after John Smith, on his first command). Smith's account is patently a condensation of the fuller document printed in Purchas His Pilgrimes, which states that Master Richard Hakluyt, "after divers meetings and due consultation", persuaded the merchants of Bristol, where he was Pre bendary of the Cathedral, to "set forth a Voyage for the farther Discoverie of the North part of Virginia." Hakluyt then visited Sir Walter Ralegh to obtain permission for the voyage -- Ralegh "had a most ample Patent of all those parts from Queene Elizabeth" -- and took with him a John Angell "and Master Robert Salterne (which had beene in the said Discoverie the yeere before with Captaine Bartholomew Gosnold)".
Pring and Salterne in tow small ships, made, like Gosnold, a landfall off the coast of Maine, in 1603. But they then coasted south inshore, instead of cutting across the "great gulf" of Massachusetts Bay as Gosnold had done. Passing to the south side of Boston Harbor, and still following the shore, they came to a harbor where they found sassafras in abundance. This was the place later called New Plymouth by Captain John Smith, and still late occupied by the Pilgrims. Smith, in his brief version of the Salterne story which purports to be by Salterne himself, wrote that Salterne werved as Pring's pilot. Fortunately, it was not necessary for Salterne to pilot the ships over the Nantucket shoals and to the islands south of Cape Cod.
The name Robert Salterne of Bristol recalls the fact that in 1583 Richard Hakluyt had been sent to Bristol by the Secretary of State, Sir Francis Walshingham, to enlist the support of the merchant adventures of Bristol for an expedition to be sent along with or following Sir Humphrey Gilbert, under the command of Walshingham's son-in-law, Captain Christopher Carleill. Hakluyt's dealings at that time were with Master William Salterne, "deputy of the merchant adventures." Hakluyt was successful in his pleas, and Master Salterne produced promises of the necessary vessels and cash, although he was never called upon to fulfil them.
Clearly young Robert Salterne must have been a near relative of the deputy, that is, either a son or a nephew, or possibly a grandson -- we know he was still alive in 1625. Hakluyt had probably watched this youth grow up in the course of his occasional visits to Bristol as Prebendary. It may also be taken for granted that it was Hakluyt who placed Robert Salterne on board Gosnold's ship, and sent him out again the next year under Pring.
Samuel Purchas in a marginal note to Pring's Relation relates that Robert Salterne become a clergyman and was a minister of a church at the time Purchas consulted him with minister of a church at the time Purchas consulted him with reference to Pring's voyage. Possibly the Rev. John Brereton as well as the Rev. Richard Hakluyt had something to do with Salterne's decision to enter the ministry. Possibly also Bartholomew Gosnold himself was not without influence on the young man, as Gosnold was eulogized after his death as a "worthy and religious gentleman."
In contrast ot lawyers Gosnold and Archer, clergyman Brereton and subsequent-clergyman Salterne, Captain Bartholomew Gilbert stands out strikingly. Captain Gilbert appears on the tiltle page of Brereton's Relation as a captain ranking equally with Captain Bartholomew Gosnold. But if Gosnold was the "here" of the piece, the villain was certainly Gilbert. Archer, no saint himself, mentions Gilbert disparagingly. Others undoubtedly called him a rascal.
The first thing to be said about Captain Bartholomew Gilbert is that, contrary to some previous opinion, he was not a relative of the half-brothers, Sir Humphrey Gilbert and Sir Walter Ralegh. Extensive search of the pedigrees of Sir Humphrey's family shows that there was no Bartholomew Gilbert amongst them. Also, the famous letter of Sir Walter Ralegh about the cargo of the Concord shows that Bartholomew Gilbert was introduced to him as a complete stranger. He was certainly given no recognition as a kinsman of one of Ralegh's half-brothers.
In Ralegh's letter, Gilbert is identified as he "that had the great diamonde." The allusion is to an old scandal. As the papers in the case are quite unknown to students of Gosnold's voyage, it seems appropriate to present the gist of them, along with verbatim extracts. First there is a document endorsed by Sir Robert Cecil, Secretary of State, as from "Mr. Ashley": "information of the fraudulent transactions of Rowland Branford, Bartholomew Gilbert, How, and others, relative to the sale of certain diamonds and other jewls obtained by them from Josias Hooper, mariner, and others, which jewels were taken at sea and bought for little, and offered to the Queen at high price."
Another document from Sir Anthony Ashley to Sir Robert Cecil, dated December 223, 1597, reported: "Since the writing of our letters this day delivered your honor I have by good chance taken hold of Bartholomew Gilbert, who was wonderfully appalled upon the questions which I administered unto him and hath betrayed some further matter than was known before. Howbeit he refuseth to answer particularly to the matter of the great diamond by reason of his bond to his partners, How and [Terrell], but prayeth he may be spared till the bond be had in by commandment of her Majesty or otherwise. Then he promiseth not only to disclose everything yet unknown concerning the great diamond, but other matters also as yet little thought on. I have him at the present in my house till your further directions. It is needful that some others that cannot yet become by, be prsently sent for by warrant, especially one William Wyles of Ratcliffe, mariner."
In a letter dated May 6, 1598, Sir Anthony Ashley wrote Cecil: "Now that your honor is disburdened of your importunate negotiations I pray your ear to what has fared touching the diamond and my poor self. Upon sundry examinations at last it falleth out that Terrell, one of the parties pretending interest therein, never laid out one penny, but that most part of the 600 pounds was disbursed by B. Gilbert and the rest by [How] . . . The Queen being herewith justly indigant, commanded them to Marshalsea; but upon submission has released them.
It was quite the custom in those days for high officials of the state to send out privateering expeditions for their own profit, which is perhaps why no mention is made of whom the common seamon Josias Hooper defrauded by concealing jewels on his person. As for Gilbert's part in the diamond scandal, he probably evaded long imprisonment by surrendeing all rights to the jewels -- and it may be guessed that they came without price into the hands of Queen Elizabeth, or of her Treasurer.
The second xount in the indictment against Captain Bartholomew Gilbert is that culpably, through parsimony and perhaps because of sinister motives, as the commissary officer of Gosnold's expedition he failed to supply enough food for the intended settlement. The gentle Brereton reports that Gosnold found himself faced with a situation where he was to remain in a settlement with but twelve men "and they but meanly provided." The forthright and censorious Gabriel Archer, in rather involved language, hints that Captain Gilbert intended to sell the cargo on his return to England for his own benefit and not to return with a further supply, leaving the settlers to become another lost Virginia colony. Gosnold himself, after the safe return of the voyagers to England, wrote to his father in bitterness but without personal recrimination: "When we came to anchor before Portsmouth, which was some four days after we made the land, we had not one cake of bread, nor any drink but a little vinegar left."
The third bit of evidence showing Gilbert's unprincipled character came to light when Sir Walter Ralegh purposed to ask for the procesution of the voyagers on a charge of evading customs duties, when they brought their valuable cargo back to England, allegedly without Ralegh's permission. Gilbert promptly offered to become a customs "informer", promising to tell the appointed officials where his recent companions on the voyage had taken the valuable bags of sassafras.
Bartholomew Gilbert died horribly the next year on a voyage to "the south part" of Virginia (that is, Virginia as known today), sent out by Ralegh, when Indians overwhelmed a landing party ashore for wood and water and killed all but one of them. Ordinarily such parties were not attacked by Indians unless the Englishmen through foolhardiness exposed themselves in weakness, or showed signs of fear and cowardice. Gilbert possibly brought his fate upon himself.
Nothing in the records suggest Bartholomew Gosnold's reasons for the selection of Bartholomew Gilbert as his co-captain. No personal point of contact has been found, either through family relationship or other connections. The best guess seems to be that Captain Gilbert came, as it were, with the ship. The old Concord had probably been turned over to Captain Gilbert to run on shares, Gilbert to find a profit wherever he could, and few questions asked; therefore, Gosnold in chartering the Concord had to take Gilbert because Gilbert was already in command of the vessel. It seems reasonably clear that Gilbert was to sail the ship back to England, returning immediately to the new settlement with fresh supplies and probably with more colonists. There was perhaps divine providence in the turn of events which relieved Gosnold of further dependance upon the good will and assumed integrity of Bartholomew Gilbert.
Another member of Gosnold's company whose name is known was one Master Robert Meriton, mentioned along with the list of "commodities" published with Brereton's Relation as "the finder of our sassafras in these parts." Meriton was presumably a botanist-pharmacist taken along for the specific purpose of identifying plants useful as the source of drugs. In a document written by the older Richard Hykluyt, the lawyer, published in the appendix of the second edition of Brereton's Relation, there is a long list of persons with particular skills to be taken along on an expedition planning to make a settlement, in which second place is accorded to "men skillful in all kinds of drugs."
One man of the greatest importance among the ship's company is mentioned but once -- where Archer notes that no current was preceived by "William Strete the master" in the open sea one hundred leagues west of the Azores. A ship's sailing master was necessarily an experienced seaman, responsible for the particular navigation of the vessel. If this William Strete was a comparatively young man, it is possible that he was the same as the "William Streets, mariner," who on November 16, 1626, took part in a conveyance in the Virginia colony as agent for Daniel Gookin, reqarding a retiring manager of Gookin's plantation at Newport News.
There were thirty-two persons in all on board the Concord. Twelve of these including eight seamen, Archer reported, had intended from the beginning to return to England when the ship was sailed home by Captain Gilbert and Master William Strete. Twenty, including Bartholomew Gosnold, had intended to stay as settlers.
Besides the six already named, the names of two others of the company are known because they were butts of Archer's little jokes in the naming of places. Theere was a man named Tucker, who was so vociferous in proclaiming his fears on an occasion when the ship almost grounded that Archer named the place Tucker's Terror. Also, to repeat, there was presumably a man named Hill, who had the luck to find a canoe on the little island, leading Archer to suggest Hill's Hap as an appropriate name for the place.
It would douobtless add to the sum of knowledge about Gosnold if the names of more of the "gentlemen of the voyage" could be learned. A number of them may have accompanied Gosnold to Jamestown four years later and died with him there.

· A difficult slot & time that Guy had to fill. But would have liked to have spent more time. Thanks for the feedback: I'd be happy to chat by phone (with no obligation) at any time. · Enjoyed the presentation although content and theory is refreshing. Bold statements. No need for language. Thanks for your feedback and positive comments: sorry about the bad language: I do get quite passionate about this subject! · Interesting content - passionate about topic. Could brush up on presentation skills Thanks for your feedback and positive comments: I tend to do all my presentations 'off the cuff' with structure, so I talk about the real issues and the things that are important to my audience (not me!) · Very through provoking.

I'm glad my message had a positive impact! · New things to think about Thanks for your kind comments.

Very positive about Guy and his system 'simple system, well executed' could give no less than 10 out of 10. Thank you for your kind comments
Dear Guy,
"Your relationships with every single one of your customers ( everyone in your life and more besides ) would be a more productive mutuality if you employed this "Guy" to share with you how................"
Service Category: Personal Trainer Year first hired: 2012 (hired more than once) Top Qualities: Great Results, Good Value, High Integrity
Very good, excellent 10/10
You are Guy the Guru, good to bounce ideas off, always gleans/gains something useful from meetings. 9/10
Very pleased with everything, has received documentation. Very happy you have spoken to his MD everything is moving along with regards future meetings/coaching. 8/10
Very positive, huge amount covered. Very invigorating. 9/10
Where Guy is different to the many other "Coaches" I have met in the past is that he listens rather than force, what are quite frankly, bullshit theories upon us. He is then able to establish the best way for any of us to deal with problems, as we are all different, and offer up sound advice.
What Work I have done – Guy has now run 5 customer half day events for us. Me and the team have also attended a number of his workshops. Guy recently spoke on Net Promoter Score at our annual Area Conference. Next joint event 26th June. Did it meet your needs, YES how effective was it and over what time period this was – 4+ years – excellent customer feedback from the events we have jointly run – I have no issues in putting Guy in front of our best and most influential customers. Me and team have benefited from Guys workshops on Customer Service and 7 Habits..(Franklin Covey). Currently my team are 26/110 teams nationally against our customer service metrics – much improved position achieved with the help of Guy
I get your emails (I love reading them!) and have a copy of your guide. You are an inspiration....so keep inspiring!
Very happy as always 10/10 would give you 12 if she could. Will definitely be doing more training.
Hi Guy, Once again thank you so much for your fascinating viewpoints and strategies on making my business grow. You mentioned about some Government funding and helping SME's to grow. When you have time could you let me have details. Once again THANK YOU. Gary The Monkey Puzzle Pub
A big thank you for this morning's seminar, as always I found it very helpful and inspiring in sales and service. I'm sorry I couldn't stay to say thank you at the end but I had to get back to the showroom. I will pass my thoughts and views on to Andy but the whole time at this meeting I wished Andy was also there. Many thanks again.
Could you let me have your thoughts and comments about Guy's work by answering the following questions: How would you score the session (out of 10)? 10 Why is that? Because Guy established very quickly the needs of the group and adapted his presentation to the groups requirements. The session was informative, thought provoking and interesting. What perhaps could have been done any better (from information about the event to delivery of the event)? I was very happy with the presentation as it was. Thank you
I hope you don't mind giving me your thoughts and comments about Guy's work by answering the following questions: Q1: how was the course for you (out of 10)? 7 Q2: why is that? Felt that the social media aspects of the course could have been more in depth Q3: what do you think we could do to improve future sessions? Perhaps provide more in depth social media content Q4: we'd love to talk with you further about helping you make the most of the ideas in the session: can we contact you in a week or so to talk about this (and 'no' is absolutely fine!): remember, there may be some Govt funding we could help you access to support this. Feel free
Q1: how was the course for you (out of 10)? 8 Q2: why is that? Packed a lot in a short space of time, felt rushed BUT it was interesting and certainly thought provoking Q3: what do you think we could do to improve future sessions? I don't know Q4: we'd love to talk with you further about helping you make the most of the ideas in the session: can we contact you in a week or so to talk about this (and 'no' is absolutely fine!): remember, there may be some Govt funding we could help you access to support this. No problems. Call me.

Hoffmann, Nimi Ingeborg (2009) The role of the instrumental principle in economic explanations. Masters thesis, Rhodes University.
Economic explanations tend to view individuals as acting to satisfy their preferences, so that when given a choice between goods, individuals choose those goods which have greater utility for them – they choose those goods which they believe can best satisfy their preferences in the circumstances at hand. In this thesis, I investigate how utility theory works when it is used to explain behaviour. In theory, utility is a positive concept. It is intended to describe and explain an individual's behaviour without judging or justifying it. It also seems to be regarded as non-hypothetical, for it explains an individual's behaviour in terms of preferences which need not be shared by others, but may be wholly particular to her. This implies a distinctive way of approaching people's behaviour as isolated from and immune to the judgements of a community, for utility cannot be used as a common standard by which we judge an individual's behaviour as better or worse, appropriate or inappropriate. I argue that this theoretical treatment of utility is substantially different from the practice of using utility to explain behaviour. In the first place, when utility is used to explain behaviour as preference-guided, it treats this behaviour as rational action. An explanation of rational action is, however, necessarily governed by the instrumental principle. This principle is normative – it stipulates the correct relation between a person's means and her ends, rather than simply describing an existing relation. The principle is also non-hypothetical – our commitment to the principle does not rely on the possession of particular ends, but on having ends in general. The instrumental principle therefore acts as a common standard for reasoning about how to act, so that when we explain an agent's behaviour as rational action, we expect that her action will conform to standards that we all share in virtue of having ends. Thus, I contend, in order to explain the rational actions of an individual, marginal utility necessarily appeals to the judgements of a community.

Rainbow Quilt
If it seems quiet around here on the blog, there's a good reason: I'm in the midst of flitting back and forth between what feels like a million projects at once: a new pattern, sewing projects for a blog series coming soon with this good friend of mine, another project that I can't talk about (!!!), and making various decisions of one kind or another. Meanwhile I've been puttering away on this lovely project (first previewed here last fall) while watching back-to-back episodes of Gossip Girl on Netflix {dies a little bit from embarrassment}:
When I say this quilt is lovely, I mean SO lovely and soft I literally can't stop staring at it. I swear, this thing GLOWS.
FINITO! Storytime Squares Quilt in Far Far Away II
It's finished (first shown in this post)!!! I'm so geeked about how this turned out! I'm calling it my "Storytime Squares Quilt." I may change my mind about this later but right now I am selfishly hoarding this one for myself. Me, me, me. Elliot saw it right before he went to bed yesterday and said, "Is that for ME?" and when I said, "NO it's for your MAMA!" he said (and picture the cutest pouty face and puppy dog eyes here) "But I really, REALLY like…

Guest Post: Andrea makes the Simple Modern Baby Quilt…bigger!
Today I'm so pleased that Andrea of Knitty Bitties is here to talk about her latest quilting experience! Andrea and I have been friends (virtually) for almost two whole years, and you know online years are like dog years. She's helped me out in a pinch (she can pattern test at the drop of a hat), her sewing is absolutely flawless and I've always been jealous of her ability to pump out multiple versions of beautiful handmade things for her shop in no time (while I always get distracted after one or two, which hrrmm maybe explains why her Etsy shop has been a huge success while mine has just fizzled out. hee). She also loves colorful fabrics, so she's a…
Bowtie Baby Quilt
Clementine's quilt is finished…got the last of the binding put on the other day, by machine of course and then handstitching all the places I missed. I am such a campy quilter it's not even funny. Having never had any formal training in the quilting dept, I cheat in every way imaginable. Although I found a very helpful tutorial on applying binding in a recent issue of Sew Hip, which I purchased at JoAnn (of all places) a couple of weeks ago. When I got home I sat for a good half hour reading it going, "Oh…oh!" as I discovered how Real Quilters apply binding. Enlightening. Which brings me to question number one: what other sewing magazines do you guys like?
The blocks for this…
Fairy Tale Quilt
Too many things to blog about, too little time. That really sums up how I feel right now as time with two hands free is so hard to come by. I've got a purse pattern in the works (ack, why can't I do that faster??), a new dress for Mexico I want to show you, a baby quilt that's almost finished, and then the other day in a moment of inspiration/insanity at Fields in Holland (Michigan), I bought swim material. For a swimsuit. For me. Yes friends I have completely lost it.
And I wish so badly that these pictures weren't so grainy, but I'm just going to barrel ahead with this post anyway and not obsess about it. HURRAH HURRAH I am…
Zig-Zag Inspiration
I don't think I've ever done a random compilation here but I've been seeing the ZigZag all over the place lately and love it. I thought if I put up these pictures it would guilt me into actually doing the project that's been in my head for the last week.
1. Zig-Zag Quilt, 2. Front of zig zag quilt, 3. Zigzag-Quilt, Detail, 4. Zig Zag Quilt from Purl Bee , 5. Henny's Quilt from Hillary Lang, 6. mendocino zigzag
I'd also like to mention that the bottom left photo, while linked to some random person's Flickr (where I found it), actually originated at the Purl Bee.
:: Rocket Rascals Pajamas ::
Thanks a ton for all the comments and compliments on the shop! It's been so great to hear from all of you, especially all you Delurkers. The giveaway is open until Wednesday evening, but make sure you use this post if you want to be entered. I'm so excited I've already made some more stuff for the shop, including some home accessories, so check back. I will also be selling a women's top.
These kimono pjs are made with Michael Miller's Rocket Rascal's fabric. I bought it last fall at a teeny tiny quilt shop inside Pike Place Market in Seattle (I can't remember the name…
